"So...." - said Melissa, quietly, since the aura was scarily silent and she didn't wanna talk so loud ,"You three are from Aldimnia ?"

 "Yes, but we are not so sure about Blaine",  replied Neir, "All she can ever remember is that she appeared on Earth."

 Melissa looked at them, and she didn't say anything else. 

 Splash! 

  "What just happened ?" , Asked Sakhalin

  "Sounds like the water got splashed", Blaine answered, with her ears pointed up, "This way!"

  Four of them headed quickly to the place where the water sounds were located, thanks to Blaine's instruction. The further they head towards the road, the louder the sound made. Not only that, there were weird smells around the area, they all speculated that it was the smell of the fishes, but Blaine said it couldn't be that since it smelled a bit metallic

" Cover your noses, now!", yelled Melissa, " Or else you'll faint !"

The trio were panicked and had to do exactlywhat she said, Neir asked her why, just in case if it ever happens again, theywill be more securitive. Turns out, the smell is actually a type of chloroform formed with Garnetian's Blood used by the Garnets, like what Melissa said. It doesn't make us faint completely, but make us become extremely nauseous. That's when the enemies have the chance to attack.

"We gotta accomplish this. Soon", Sakhalin said strictly, it sounded to much like Ruby and the others laughed, with their noses still covered of course

They found a small door frame with hanged curtains, with waters spilled on the floor.

"This is probably it" - said Melissa firmly.

Neir and Blaine went in first, than told Sakhalin and Melissa to stay outside. If the coast is clear, they'll give the girls a signal.

 "The coast won't be clear", pointed Sakhalin, "There could be.... Thousands of booby traps hidden inside".

 "But you two need to be safe, and this is our responsibility, our mission. We don't want anyone to be influenced in our problems, that would cause various trouble." - explained Neir, Blaine nodded along.

 "But that doesn't mean we're prevented from helping others", Sakhalin pouted, "Two of you can't take care a huge evil organisation. You need teamwork-"

 "Alright, I get it miss, why don't you just stay nice here and leave us two alone for a moment ? Blaine is completely out of nowhere, she had no idea how she EXISTED and finally get to be an ACID member, she needs a guide OK ?! Your words won't help." - Neir had enough of this mission, he never wanted to have an annoying little girl to go along with his partner, making fun of him, teasing him when there's a chance. Take the squid, and then go back to the goddamn headquarter.

 "Neir, you really think I'm out of nowhere ?" - Blaine said with a shivering tone. Clearly she was lost, but she did not expect someone to say that she had no clue about her existence. That's like, saying yourself you know the person best and you claim their life.

 "Yes! You are one, you need me. This is getting out of nowhere, thanks to Sakhalin, how much more stress do you want to stuff in my head ?! All of this to go into some new dumb universe just to return a stupid squid to a military lieutenant! I want to achieve bigger goals, not a squid, but sea creatures-"

 " SHUT UP NEIR !" - Melissa slapped him straight in the face, " Just because you don't get to be a superstar doesn't mean you can say bad things about other people! Since when did my home, where my real parents are killed, where us next generation fought for peace, turned 'dumb' ? AND how can you prove that Faridatian creatures are stupid ? Control water, my butt! You think you're the only one who can do those splishy splashy pool thingy? I'm sorry, did you ever hear about MELLY AURITZ, because she's right in front of you!"

 Neir was stunted. He did not expect a slap from the strange girl.

  " I... it would have been better if... if HE DID NOT LEFT THE CAGE OF THE ALDIMNIAN CREATURE OPENED" , Sakhalin yelled, realizing she saw the truth, " I saw it! I was taking a glass of milk that night a-and he was there! Putting the pet in the cage, but did not lock it! Are you blaming me for ruining your romantic date when you were the cause of this, Neir Espinoza Sanorez ?!!! "

 Sakhalin can be cheerful, but she can also be sensitive and cry eventually. She just want to make people happy, giving jokes,  without realizing it was too much. But she didn't mean anything at all, really. She cried really loud, and poison ivies were blooming around her.

  A good start for Blaine and Neir's first mission. All of this because about teamwork or no. Sakhalin was right, Neir caused this trouble.
