Part 1: Lore of a Girl
Prologue
Ah, Slugterra. As a child, I was fascinated by this alternate realm that my father practically ruled. A strange name, I agree, but it was a beautiful place! There was no sun, no moon, and no sky. It was underground, so all of the 'states' were known as 'caverns'. Their energy and light came from this bioluminescent that was given off by the slugs. Yes, slugs. They were one of the most commonly seen, and one of the only populating the subterranean realm. The slugs were bipedal, and were extremely different from our slugs. They could transform into flying stingrays that had different abilities and characteristics. There are many breeds, each with different powers. Each person owns a different slug. There was always a favorite among slingers, which is what they called the people who use their slugs. To make a slug transform, you must shoot it from a blaster in order for it to reach the required velocity of 100 mph. This is known as 'slug slinging'. Now there is always a guy who is there to keep the peace. He is called The Shane. What the citizens of Slugterra don't know, is that Shane is a last name; my last name. My father was a great Shane. Will Shane. He made many allies, as well as enemies. One was is, of the most destructive, vile, manipulative, angry, and twisted individual in Slugterra. His name was Thaddeus Blakk, otherwise known as Dr. Blakk. He had this… otherworldly philosophy that that he could make the slugs better, improve them. Make them more powerful. My father knew that this would be the end of Slugterra, should it continue. So, my dad did everything in his power to stop him. That's about it.
