A Race Displaced

Chapter 2

The Hunter, The Hunter's Hunter, and The Hunter's Hunter's Hunter


"Hm..." Triton grumbled as he walked past a store,

"Welcome to Inkopolis News Network." an inkling anchor appeared, "Your top news for anything other than the Turf Wars." he chuckled, "Today was a day of fear and dread in Octo Valley when a small suburb was attacked last night."

Triton, hearing the announcement, turned attentively,

"The suburb was located in the Calamarda District and housed 50 residents." the anchor reported, "There were no survivors in what the Octarian authorities call the worst attack on civilian life in their history."

"Hm..." Triton looked at the TV, "Ah..."

"Breaking news!" a female anchor came on, "There has been another massive attack, this time on the Hotel Moluskia! We are live on the scene." she said, and an aerial view of a large building surrounded with police cars an ambulances appeared on screen.

"Have you seen this man?" Britannia surveyed random citizens,

"No." a jellyman told her,

"Nope." and inkling boy responded,

"Excuse me, have you seen this man?" Britannia asked an Anemonite woman,

"No.. no..." the woman responded shyly and continued her way,

"Huh.." Britannia sighed, then looked ahead of her and saw the Police Station, "Maybe the Police have seen him." she walked to the building.

POOM! The door shot open and a young Octoling female bolted out,

"Oof!" Britannia grunted when the two collided,

"Ah!" the Octoling shrieked, "Watch it!" she growled and continued her route,

"Paprika! Wait!" a young Inkling male dashed out, "Hey!" he looked at Britannia, "Did you see an Octoling?"

"She went that way." Britannia pointed to the direction where Paprika ran,

"Thank you!" the young Inkling nodded and dashed,

"I have to save my people!" Paprika turned to yell at him, then continued running,

"Hey!" a police officer ran out of the building, "Argh..." he growled, "I can't believe this!" he muttered, "This is Lieutenant Calamaird, commencing an on-foot chase with a recent convicted young Inkling Male, hair colour Orange, eye colour blue, Ink colour Orange. He is chasing behind a young Octoling female, hair colour Maroon, eye colour Violet, Ink colour dark Purple." he reported and started to run after them.

"How strange..." Britannia muttered, then walked inside the station.

"Hmm.. Hm..." Triton hummed as he walked inside of Cooler-Heads, "Ah..." he looked at the selection,

"Ah.. hello...hello sir!" a young Anemonite woman came up, "I-Is there something you want?"

"Hm..." Triton looked around, "Yes... I'd like those." he pointed to some contact lenses, "The air is kinda dry and I'd like to keep my eyes battle ready."

"Oh.. Ok... My name is Annie." the girl said, "Can I see your Freshness Card?" she asked,

"My what?" Triton mumbled,

"I need to see how fresh you are..." Annie responded timidly,

"How what I am!?" Triton growled and picked Annie up,

"HEY!" Moe appeared, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING LOSER!?"

"What the-" Triton growled, "Why you!" he grabbed the little fish in his hand,

"AH!" Moe screeched, "HAMPH!" he bit the sea snail on the finger,

"Argh!" Triton winced, "You little, puny, insignificant sea scum deplorable piece of oceanic life!" he yelled and threw Moe out the window,

"Moe.." Annie muttered,

"You are going to give me those contacts or-"

"Stop! Inkopolis P.D!" a voice was heard, and two youths blitzed past,

"Huh?" Triton turned and let go of Annie,

"Stop!" Calamaird stopped in front of the shop window, "This is Lieutenant Calamaird, in an on-foot pursuit to capture Splat Aquasio, young Inkling male- Ah! He's entering the sewer system!" he groaned and continued the chase.

"Splat Aquasio." Triton muttered evilly, "Put it on my tab..." he told Annie as he placed on his contacts, then bolted to the chase.

"Hm..." Britannia groaned, quite tired because she had been walking the whole day and night, "Ha..." she sighed,

"Lady, will you please help us?" a young inkling boy came up, "Our ball got stuck in the tree, and we're too small."

"That is not my mission." Britannia told the child, "I'm afraid I cannot help you."

"Aw..." the boy grumbled and went his way, finding another adult in the process.

"Have you seen this man?" Britannia continued her questioning, showing the picture,

"Oh! Yeah." the young inkling woman said, "He was quite the sight! A tower!" she laughed, "And so handsome.. but he looked much older than me." she groaned,

"And where was he?" Britannia asked,

"I saw him going to the Square." the woman responded, "Why?"

"That's all I need to know.." Britannia grumbled, "I just came back from there..." she groaned and ran off.

"There they went." Triton looked at the sewer grate that led to Cap'n Cuttlefish's shack and the border to Octo Valley, he turned into his sea snail form and descended down.

"Have you seen this man?" Britannia asked a jellyman that was chilling on a bench,

"Yeah... He went over there is somewhere.. by Judd." the jellyman responded,

"Thank you." Britannia ran through the masses, "Move out!" she growled, then reached her destination, the sewer grate.

"Are you looking for someone?" Judd asked the woman,

"Yes." Britannia nodded, then turned into her brittle star form and descended down.

"Huh?" Judd said in confusion when he saw the sight.

"Squidata-san." a young inkling scientist bowed before the old professor, "It is complete." he held out a vial of light green liquid.

"Ah yes." Professor Squidata nodded, "The Evolutionizer... Good work." he grinned, "This will help out the Squidata Civil Defense Programme tremendously!"

"The scientists of the Weapons department also finished their prototype of the BFB-9000." the young man reported, "They want you to be the first to see it in action."

"BFB-9000?" Squidata asked in confusion, "What's that?"

"It's the Bio Force Blaster." The young inkling reported, "It's really something you want to see."

"Very well.. I will test the Evolutionizer later." Professor Squidata muttered, "Hopefully this new weapon will help the Squidata Corporation make up for that... Inko-Matic SMG we busted on."
