Chapter 1: Another Evil Plan?
This had to be the hundredth factory that him and his team of sluggers blew up in order to foil Dr. Thaddius Blakk's plan to make more ghouls, Eli thought as he fired Brupy at his opponent only to have his best slug's attack countered by a shape shifting slug. Did he mention that each plan his team managed to foil always brought them into a grueling battle with his ex-teammate Twist? Well if it was some kind of revenge that Blakk had for foiling his scheme to make them pay for their victories than Twist was defiantly following his boss' orders to a tea.
"Come on Eli why don't you try something new for a change? Loki's getting bored of defeating all your lame moves," Twist taunted as he reloaded his best slug, Loki for another round with the person he once had to pretend to call him his friend. Eli grimaced before an idea popped in his head that was sure to blow the shape shifting back-stabber away literally.
"You know what I will, I would hate to let you down," Eli retorted back as he slipped his regular blaster back into its pouch, before he reached behind his back for another blaster. This blaster was longer than his old one and it had to wholes where you could put slugs in. Twist merely smirked at the blaster knowing that it would make no difference whether Eli improved his gun because he already knew that he was better than the young Shane, he had proved it on many occasions and today would be no exception.
"Bring it on," Twist encouraged as he saw Eli pointing his new twin blaster at him carrying both Burpy and Joules. With a confident nod Eli pulled the trigger that sent a massive attack of fire and electricity right at Loki that was trying to copy the powerful attack. But Twist's smile fell when he saw Loki continually shifting between a form that would block the fire slug and the electric slug; not quite sure which one would help him in the situation. Before Loki could make up his mind on the prefect counter to Eli's attack it was too late, Eli's attack defeated the slug shape shifter and caused both him and his master to be blasted several yards away from the battleground.
"Glad to see the twin blaster is fully operational," Trixi giggled as she spun her blaster around on her finger before putting it back into her pouch as she approached her leader.
"Yeah it's definitely a beaut!" Kroud whistled with amazement. Eli knew that was a good sign since his cave troll friend was a tech genius and all.
"So are all of the other goons taken care off?" Eli asked as he put his blaster away and picked up his two favorite slugs.
Before his two slinging buddies could give him a thumbs up on that question their molenoid, Pronto, pushed them aside and in a confident manner delivered his report on the situation. "Of course Pronto, the magnificent, made sure that all of our enemies were taken down swiftly and without mercy."
"Sure you did, and what are we chop liver?" Trixi sarcastically said as the rest of the group rolled their eyes at the short molenoid's antics.
"Well I guess you guys helped a little," Pronto admitted causing the rest of the gang to start to head back to their hideout completely ignoring Pronto's comment. Tonight they would celebrate another victory against the forces of evil in the hopes of one day they would defeat Dr. Blakk for good.
While the Shane gang celebrated, their former member Twist trudged himself back to Dr. Blakk's lair with his head hung in shame as well as fear, after all, people who failed his boss had a habit of disappearing one way or another. If it weren't for the fact that he knew that Dr. Blakk still needed him he wouldn't have bothered coming back to his lair up in the mountains of slugterra. As he approached his boss' office he took a deep calming breath before pushing open the door to see the doctor at his desk looking through paper work that were probably plans for his next scheme.
"Let me guess? You've come here to tell me you failed me yet again," Dr. Blakk stated calmly without taking his eyes off his work, which made Twist's nervousness come back with advengence. Suddenly he wasn't so sure that he wasn't going to end up like the others that came before him, because usually Blakk would at least show him some affection in his own evil way before threatening him not to fail him again. This calm indifferent persona was forging to the blond teenage boy.
"Yes sir."
"Well this has been your tenth failure in bringing down Eli Shane, and you know what I do with failure right?" Dr. Blakk asked with a sinister smirk on his face as he looked up to the now quivering teen.
Sweat rolled down Twist's back as he tried hard not to show how much fear, horror, and regret he was feeling at that moment. This was it, he thought, he was going to die after all he had to give up, after all he did to train. It all amounted to this moment; a moment he thought Dr. Blakk would be patting him on the back for following his orders. But no he was going to die right here and now all because of that stupid kid! The stupid kid who thought he was all that all because his father was legendary. Everything Twist ever wanted Eli had without lifting a finger fame and friendship.
"Yes sir."
"That's good, so you know what will happen if you fail this assignment I'm about to give you," Dr. Blakk said with a wide smile showing how pleased he was that he scared the crap out of the young teen.
With a shaky sigh Twist's nerves were settled knowing that this wasn't his last day to live and that he still had a chance to show Dr. Blakk his worth. When Dr. Blakk was sure he had Twist's undivided attention he went through his newest plot to bring down the Shane gang.
"Now Twist this is a very important mission that could be the difference between world domination of the slugs or complete and utter failure," Dr. Blakk begun as he continued to talk about the royal family in slugterra. The royal family held supreme power in slugterra the only thing stopping them from putting Dr. Blakk in jail was his connections within the royal family and the fact that they rather leave the law enforcement to the Shanes. Recently there has been a faction ever since the Queen died a year ago so her remarried husband and her daughter that came of age the year her mother died are fighting over supreme power. If her step-father, Count Darcy came into power Dr. Blakk would have control of the number one breeding ground in slugterra, since Count Darcy hated all slugs he didn't care what happened to them as long as Dr. Blakk took them away from the capital city of slugterra. All Twist had to do is get the precious princess out of the picture.
As Twist heard the plan the more he liked it, it would be an easy job to do with his slug's shape shifting abilities. Yes he would definitely be able to pull this off and show Dr. Blakk his worth but most importantly he would beat Eli Shane.
