Mirii frowned.
"You…" Her eyes squeezed a bit. "… I can see through your bluff!"
"I swear it's not a bluff!" The woman's hands went over her bottom-right side, picking up something. "Here, take a look!" Her hands returned forward, holding a piece of paper.
Mirii's head rose: her left hand went over the paper, while her right hand lowered her weapon. Her eyes rested on the paper's words…
"… Project Neo Lab N. 217… location: Turf War Station…"
Her eyes expanded.
An image of adult Inklings, wearing a white coat, were around an Inkling girl wearing a hat and a yellow polo. Her pants were black and her shoes were colored purple. The girl's tentacles were seemingly glowing… and her eyebrows were up. The adult Inklings were each holding a block note and a pen.
"… it's impossible!" Mirii's head rose back, as she frowned. "There is no such lab inside the Turf War Station!"
"I'm sure there is indeed one…" The woman nodded. "We were supposed to reach the lowest floor, hoping that you Agents would come too late…"
"… hmpf." Mirii's head rose. "I can safely conclude that they are not responsible for the previous attack… it must be that traitor I mentioned earlier." She snorted. "Anything else?"
"We were about to get to the basement… there must be a secret entrance or something!" The woman's hands clasped. "Please, stop bothering me now… I-I said everything I knew!" She nodded. "I even gave you the paper… l-leave me alone now!"
Mirii's eyes closed.
"… a lab inside this tower? Where this might be located, exactly…? I should truly investigate the lowest floor, before setting the Alarm… but first, I must prevent any ambushes."
Her right hand pointed her weapon down. Ink went out from the muzzle, landing near the woman's feet.
"Wh-what are you doing?!" Her head lowered, twisting left and right.
"I'm preventing you from trying to attack me…" Mirii walked towards the Stingling's weapon. "… I'll come back later to proceed with the arrest."
"NO!" The woman bended forward, as her eyes went watery. "I-I want to come back home! I-I didn't even wanted to join this army! Please!"
"Hmpf… you were one of those Stingrays who tried to splat me with your technique…" Mirii walked forward, passing the woman. "… I don't forget my enemies."
"Wh-whyyyyy?!" The woman's knees went down, as her hands covered each a part of her face. "WHAT I DID WRONG?!" She sobbed loudly. "I… I should had escaped the army when I had the chance…"
Mirii's weapon began shooting ink, as she kept walking forward.
"If I remember correctly, the stairs were demolished… and the elevator wasn't working." Her eyes closed for a moment. "… I wonder if electricity is still running in this tower."
Her eyes grew, as they were pointed at a line-shaped hole continuing throughout the whole corridor.
"… nnnghh…" She swallowed silently. "Something I didn't wanted to remember at all…"
The girl walked on her right, as she resume her firing spree on the floor.
"LIE DOWN, YOU PIECE OF SHIP!"
The door on the left opened, as a Stingling man jumped from it while shooting goo projectiles from his weapon's muzzle: he was frowning, as the girl turned towards his direction with her mouth opened wide. Mirii dived inside her ink, as the man landed on it.
He began yelping loudly, as his feet began sinking inside the ink slowly: Mirii re-emerged, as her weapon was shooting ink projectiles towards the man.
SPLAT!
He exploded into magenta ink, as he flew away as a small Stingray. Mirii's head rose, watching the small Stingray passing the ceiling.
"… he was sinking inside my ink…" Her eyes blinked. "… I have to find out what they did exactly with this ink…" Her head returned forward. "I have never seen anything like it… and I studied ink science."
The girl began walking forward. Her irises turned to her right.
"I did splatted that Stingray… but he was in a clear disadvantage, so I cannot claim perfection on that." Her eyelids lowered to the middle, as a sweat drop appears on her head's right side. "I would appear weak, if I try to prove my superiority with such mention… I must find an opponent which requires skills and intelligence to beat, if I want to"
From the line hole, a Stingling woman jumped out as she began shooting goo towards Mirii's back. The girl twisted behind, with her eyes expanded.
"CURSES!" She jumped backwards, while making a back flip in thin air.
Landing on her feet, Mirii began firing ink from her Hero Shot.
"And I haven't covered the floor either!" She walked backwards, as sweat covered her forehead. "What's wrong with me, all the sudden?!"
The woman shot at the ink, as her eyes were seeing the goo being absorbed by it. Her eyes grew, as she jumped on the floor's left side. Mirii shoots ink from her right side, throwing a Splat Bomb before diving back.
BOOM!
The woman turned around, seeing ink on every side.
"… this is my chance to splat her!" Mirii emerged, while frowning. "I'll use a"
SNATCH!
Mirii's eyes grew as two large hands picked her up from the ground. Her hands opened, as both the weapons fell down. A loud laugh came right behind her neck. The tall, muscular Stingling man was grinning while his eyebrows were down.
"BRING HER TO ME, MOSSUN!" The woman jumped, while smiling. "I'LL SPLAT HER IN NO TIME!"
"Nnnngghhh!" Mirii's hands pushed the larger hands, while gritting her teeth and kicking the air. "Put me down, you coward!" Her fists began punching the hands. "Face me in a real fight! You will not catch me as easily!"
"… YOU… PUT DOWN… DOOWWNN…" The man turned behind, as he began walking forward.
His right hand put Mirii on his right shoulder, as she was wrapped around his right arm.
"… what are you doing, Mossun?!" The woman frowned, as she stomped the floor with her right foot. "I distracted her for all this time! I deserve to make her fly away!" She growled.
Mirii's eyebrows went up, as her mouth downturned.
"… being treated as if I'm a giant bag of ink…" Her fists moved towards the shoulders, missing those for an inch. "Grrrr! If only I was twice his size…! I-I would had crushed him and threw him right inside the rubbish can!"
The man walked towards a dark room, stopping in front of it. His right hand brought the girl forward, as his left hand grabbed her left side. Mirii's head lowered, seeing the abyss… her eyes expanded and her irises shrunk.
"NO! NOOOO!" Her feet were kicking the air rapidly, as her fists began punching the hands. "ARE YOU NUTS?! LEAVE ME ALONE!"
"HA HA HA HA… FLY, SQUISHY GIRL… BYE BYE!" His hands opened.
Mirii fell down.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" She disappeared inside the darkness.
