The Hunter Becomes Hunted
"Inkopolis is in view." the pilot said, "Inkstrike is prime and ready to go."

"You know what's the most debilitating part about inklings?" Triton yelled as he entered the hall which held the room that the two youths were hiding in, "Their stench is as deplorable as it is strong."
"I'm here." Tint came out of one of the rooms, "If you want to kill me, do it now!"
"Where is the hybrid?" Triton asked,
"Kill me! Do it now!" Tint repeated, holding another splat bomb behind his back,
"Maybe I will..." Triton grumbled as he got closer,
"Hmph." Tint grunted,
"Maybe I won't..." Triton said, "Ha!" he yelled and stomped the ground, making a piece of concrete shoot out and trip Tint.
"Wah!" Tint yelled and the bomb fell out of his hand,
POOM! The bomb blew up, but nowhere near enough to hurt Triton.
"Tint!" Cepha came out, "Ah!" she screamed when she saw Triton,
"There you are..." Triton laughed, "It's time to die." he said and turned his arm into the goopey tissue,
intending to devour them.
"Cepha.. Run!" Tint yelled as he rolled on the ground,
"No!" Cepha said, then took out her own splat bomb, "Eat this!" she threw it at the eater arm of Triton,
POOOM!
"AH!" Triton yelled when his arm exploded,
"Come on!" Cepha picked up Tint and the two bolted,
"You … Ah!" Triton looked at his destroyed arm, then chased them down.

"Cepha!" Splat said as the two youths caught up to them at the studio,
"Mom! Dad!" Cepha cried and hugged them, "Oh..."
"Where's Arnie?" Tint looked around,
"We thought he was with you." Paprika told them,
"No." Cepha said, "He d-"
"AH!" Triton roared as he knocked down the door, "YOU!" he pointed with his right arm, "I'm Going DESTROY YOU!"
"What happened to his arm?" Splat asked the two,
"I blew it off." Cepha muttered,
"It's time to di- AH!" Triton yelled when two metal chairs hit him,
"Get out of our studio!" Callie yelled,
"Get him!" Marie told the group, "Here's your bucket!" she yelled and grabbed a Slosher, hitting the snail with it hard.
"You stupid.. Inklings!" Triton groaned,
"I'll get him..." a voice said, and Arnie blasted the fiend.
"AH!" Triton fell to the ground, "Hrah!" he stood back up,
"It's... over..." Arnie panted,
"RAH!" Triton charged and bit him on the shoulder,
"AH!" Arnie yelled, then went into shock,
"Take this!" Splat fired his .96, knocking back the attacker,
"Argh..." Arnie groaned, he couldn't move,
"Arnie!" Cepha called out,
"Enough of this!" Triton went berserk and charged Splat, taking his .96 Gal then hitting him with it,
"AH!" Splat was thrown to a desk and knocked out,
"RAH!" Triton backhanded Paprika, knocking her into Callie and Marie, and like a bowling ball hitting pins, all were knocked down,
"Argh..." Arnie regained movement, then saw all his friends (except the youths) were knocked down.
"Arnie!" Cepha hid behind him, as did Tint,
"Ha.. Ha... It's over, Arnie!" Triton yelled,
"Yes it.. is.." Arnie panted, "Tint.. take care of Cepha..." he told the youth,
"Arnie?" Cepha muttered,
"This ends now..." Arnie stumbled to Triton,
"RA!" Triton bit down on his shoulder again,
"ARGH!" Arnie was paralyzed, "Cepha!"
"You will be the perfect lunch.." Triton started to make his entire body into the eater tissue,
"Cepha... The bar..." Arnie muttered weakly, "shoot... the bar..." he eyeballed the metal bar that was stuck in the ceiling,
"Arnie... No..." Cepha muttered,
"Cepha..." Arnie painfully showed her the watch on his wrist, which was almost done counting down, "Do it... so you could... live..."
"We have to..." Tint muttered,
"Arnie..." Cepha cried, "I'm sorry..." she said and fired at where the bar was stuck.
SWOOSH! The bar swung down,
"Huh!?" Triton saw it,
POOM! It hit the two with such force, that it knocked them clean out of the building.

"This is Ink-2." the pilot said, "Square is in sight, Inkstrike fired."
00000000
"AH!" Triton yelled as the two fell out,
"Hasta la ink-a, fiend.." Arnie growled and held him tight,
SHWOOOO! The inkstrike exploded and the killer tornado was released,
"AH!" the two screamed in agony as they were consumed...
SM's Time!
For Reviewer YaseentheEpic, the Magnificent, the Great: I hope you enjoyed your bucket (albeit small) characters. I'm glad you have been with me thus far!
For Reviewer Kittkatt(Paddywhack give a dog a bone)Attack: I think one of these chapters here answered your question... And if not, I'll tell you... Triton is a Giant Triton (AKA "Triton's Trumpet") Sea Snail, a real life natural predator to the crown-of-thorns. See, I do like to keep my source material up to code!
Well, when all is said and done, more is done than said. It seems both Arnie and Triton met with a terrible demise from the sky. Let's see what the last two chapters bring us on the next episode of Dragon B- Wait... Dang! Wrong thing!
