Chapter 7: Friend or Foe

Location: ?

POV: Third Person.

"The Professor said they were here!" A female inkling called out.

The same two Inklings who found Shinjiro were on their way to look for another Human.

"Are you 100% sure? The last time you said that we nearly ended up in Octarian Territory." The boy replied, he looked exhausted.

"Yeah! 110%!" She had stars in her eyes and was bouncing about in excitement. Where did she get this energy from?

"Careful, Shi!" The boy called out.

"You worry too much, Su." The girl replied. They seen two identical Pods. The same process was repeated.

They revealed a middle aged woman with beautiful red hair and green eyes. Her face was covered by a mask, and wore a trench coat.

Her companion, a man of similar age, was a little bigger and wore the same outfit. He had white hair and brown eyes.

They both had earpieces on their left ears, "Are you two Inklings?" The woman asked.

The Inkling twins nodded. "I'm Su, and this is my sister, Shi." Shi gave a cute smile.

"I am Aria. This is my friend, Richard."

Richard said nothing. "He speaks when he has to." He nodded.

"Are you here to help us like Shinjiro?"

"Of course." Aria replied, but as the inklings looked at each other for a brief moment, she had flashed a questionable smile.

The four turned to exit, but then Shi gave a painful scream as a fist connected with her head.

Su turned around and Richard towered over the poor girl.

He kicked hard Shi in the same spot, shooting her towards Su, causing her to cry again and knock Su down.

"My, Richard(!)" 'Aria' said sarcastically, "That's no way to treat kids!"

'Richard' smirked cruelly as he crackled his knuckles. Su got up

He notices Shi was bleeding Pink Ink. "You...monsters!" He was smacked down by 'Aria', she dug her heel into his back, repeatedly stomping on him.

"Quiet, you disgusting Squid." Su cried out in pain as he coughed up green ink. Aria eventually got off him.

"Come on, Richard. Let's drop in Inkopolis and give their 'Sentinel' a visit." She smirked as they stepped over the twins. Earning cries from them both.

Muffled voices came from behind the pods.

Su stood up, carrying Shi and investigated when the humans were gone. But what he seen was really surprising.

Aria and Richard were tied up and they only wore their underwear?

"What the squid!?" He said.

Aria muffled, Su quickly pulled the duct tape from her mouth, receiving an 'Eep!' From her. She sounded so different from her imposter.

"Thank you. Get Richard, too!" She said as Su enabled Richard's speech.

"Cheers, Mate." He said in an Irish accent. "Get these binds off us if you don't mind.

"Who were they?" Shi asked, holding her head as Su tended to their binds. She couldn't do much to her injuries.

"Bunch of flockers who took us out of our pods, stripped us down, tied us up and took our place. They told us they wanted to simply wreck havoc." Richard explained.

He opened up an extra slot behind his pod, "lucky those fuds didn't notice our extra gear."

Su and Shi looked confused? "Fud?"

Richard replied, "A fud is a shortened word for a Fu-" he was stopped by Aria,

"It's a short version for a few words you two shouldn't know. Besides I don't know if readers would like the innocence broken by bad language."

Richard cleared his throat, "Aria. Fourth wall." He pointed out.

Aria smiled cutely.

"Wait! Those imposters! They're going to Inkopolis!"

Richard loaded his revolver, "Let's get them Flockers!"

Location: Inkopolis, Shinjiro's Hut

POV: Third Person.

Shinjiro slept on his bed, another day and another young Zapfish rescued. He seen Yaki asleep on her own bed, which he made himself.

She had plans to go to a ranked battle with her friends.

She was excited that she moved about in her sleep...like a lot.

He heard the Squid Sisters' familiar jingle, suddenly an Alerted Callie called out,

"Inkopolis is under attack! Two mysterious figures have opened fire on innocent civilians and caused 21 injured and 5 severely wounded! Michael in on the scene!"

The TV then cut to an adult Inkling male, hiding behind cover as loud bangs, which Shinjiro recognised as gunfire, and Ink shots were heard.

"I don't know if you can see this, but Ink doesn't seem to affect this towering behemoths!"

Richard turned to face the camera, suddenly a gunshot was heard and a female inkling screamed as the POV now looked towards the sky,

"Oh no! NO! NOO-" A loud gunshot was heard. Richard now towered over the camera, he kneeled down and picked it up.

His mask covered his cruel smirk, "The Age of Inklings has come to an end." He simply said as he dropped it, stomped it into nothing.

The transmission then became static.

Soon the Sisters began to try and calm everyone down, "Head to the bunkers quickly! This is not a drill! Repeat, Not a DRILL!"

Inklings began screaming and running towards the underground Bunkers.

The news ended quickly, as the sisters exited their studio. "Callie, Get Shinjiro! He's the only one who can deal with this!"

"Not just him." A male said in the dark. The two turned around.

"Who are you." A man in a suit ready for battle, who sounded fearless and collected.

"Tsung. We heard your news report and have been given orders from HQ to assist." Tsung and his fireteam saluted.

Marie blushed a bit. not expecting such decent manners from anyone, much less a complete stranger. She needed to get out more...

Shinjiro flew past the group, jumping from building to building.

"Assist that man!" Callie called out, pointing at Shinjiro.

"You heard the lass, men! Jump jets, move out!"

Tsung and his squad headed towards the small battle zone.

Location: Inkopolis Battle Zone

POV: Third Person.

'Aria' laughed manically as she repeatedly punched a crying Inkling. He called out, "Why are you doing this!"

'Richard' held a little bigger Inkling. She was struggling to move and was crying, "Let my little bro go!"

'Aria' smiled, holding a revolver to the young inkling. The Girl knew what that was and began screaming and kicking her legs, "NO! DON'T KILL HIM!"

'Aria' pulled the trigger.

But the Inkling wasn't hurt, neither was 'Aria'.

The imposter seen her revolver a good few meters away. "I knew the Federation come in sooner or later."

Tsung held his M4A1, aimed at the woman. "Let the kid go and don't think of beating him up anymore."

The Imposters released their prisoners, who ran towards one another and embraced each other.

"How sweet~." She said, "I hate sweet." She whipped out a simple handgun. Alarming the two inklings.

Suddenly a silver afterimage flickered and the two vanished.

Aria pulled the trigger too late and nearly struck Richard, "Watch it." He said coldly.

Shinjiro stood on a building edge.

"Attack a city isn't bad. But killing Innocents and performing Torture on them is sick." He put the kids down and turned to face the imposters.

"I know the REAL Aria and Richard. They wouldn't go around murdering and hurting." He drew his sword.

"I'm in a slightly pissed off mood. You imposters caused Yaki to miss out on her ranked matches, You woke me up earlier than usual AND I didn't even comb my hair! My god dang hair needs it's combing!"

The Imposters stood there silent.

"Is this guy for real?" The woman said.

"And then you kill inklings for fun and sport. That crosses the line and beyond. You are going to have a Very, Very bad day."

OOOH! Shinjiro's initiated Badass Mode!

The Next Episode's gonna include an awesome battle, slight romance. We also find out who those Imposters really are.

Are they Octarians? Rogue humans? Or even something else entirely? Find out on the next chapter!

Sorry if this chapter seemed a bit...dark. But don't worry, the sadistic people will get what they deserve!

Hopefully.
