Chapter 1: The World Above
Hey everyone it's me and I'm back with an all new story combining My Little Pony: Equestria Girls and Slugterra. This one was a challenge to think over, but I think you'll be pleased with it. For those who are wondering this will start just before Rainbow Rocks. Please Review and Enjoy.
It had been many years since Eli Shane had defeated Dr. Blakk and brought peace to Slugterra and saved his father Will Shane.
During that time Eli and his friends Trixie, Kord the Cave Troll and Pronto the Molenoid had brought peace to Slugterra and with it new feelings.
Eli proposed to Trixie and they were happily wed, they even had a little boy together, and with him a new hero was born.
However, the peace that Eli worked so hard to keep is about to end. Deep within the caverns of Slugterra in a dark cave a terrifying monkey-like creature was walking through it, this was a member of the Shadow Clan.
Making its way deeper in the Shadow Clan member came across a spring of dark water. As it got closer to it suddenly a geyser shot out of it coating it in Dark Water.
Screaming in pain the Shadow Clan's member's eyes turn blood red.
Meanwhile riding through the caverns a blue and purple wolf Mechabest was walking along the path. On it's back was a boy about 16 years old he had medium length black hair and red highlights, blue eyes, a green shirt under a blue jacket, navy blue cargo pants, two blue and gold wrist blasters, and strapped along his chest were multiple slugs each one on the lookout for something.
"Keep an eye out for him guys he could be anywhere." He said as the slugs nodded.
Making their way under a large root he hears a soft cracking noise in the trees nearby.
Looking to his slugs they nod hearing it to.
Reaching to his belt he pulls out a blue slug with Lighting bolts on its head, this was a Tazerling. Loading him into one of his wrist blasters he climbs off his Mechabeast and sneaks towards the trees, pointed his slug at the trees he heard rustling from it.
"Wait a minute…this seems to easy." He said.
"Because it is." A male voice said startling him.
Turning around he saw a man who bared a strong resemblance to him, this was the new adult Eli Shane.
"Come on Luke I thought you were better than that." Eli smirks.
Reacting quick Luke shoots his Tazerling into the air.
Eli jumps out of the way, but Luke grins. "I am and you should know!" Moving his hands in a martial arts manner the Tazerling turns around and shoots a lighting bolt at Eli. This was Slug Fu.
Jumping out of the way Eli reaches for his belt and pulls out an Arachnet slug. Firing it at Luke it spins a web and fires it blocking Luke from his Mechabeast.
"Nowhere to run Luke." Eli said jumping down in front of him.
"I don't need to run I can take you." Luke said reading his blasters.
An orange slug jumps onto Eli's shoulder and chirps. "Settle down Burpy, you'll get your chance." Eli said.
Loading in a Arachnet Luke fires it at Eli who counters with a Hop Rock.
The two slugs fly towards each other but before the Arachnet could spin a web the Hop Rock whacks it with his stone tail knocking it away and heading right towards him.
As Luke jumps out of the way he shoots an Aquabeak which blasts Eli with a jet of water.
Nearby an adult Trixie was watching the match alongside Kord and Pronto.
"Not bad he's getting quicker." Kord said.
"Think he might actually beat Eli this time?" Pronto asks.
Trixie smiles. "We'll see."
Eli fires his Speedstinger slug it bounces off a tree and ricochets off multiple obstacles. Luke struggles to keep his eyes on it but couldn't and it ends up knocking him into a tree.
Luke picks himself up and knocks some dust off him. "Alright no more fooling around. Time for the big guns." Luke said as a he opened both his wrist blasters and his Rammstone and Grenuke slug enter them and he fires it both slugs appear next to each other and spin creating a spinning disk that destroyed everything in its path.
"Whoa!" Eli said holding out his hands Eli uses Slug Fu to separate the two slugs canceling out the fusion blast.
Luke looks in shock as Eli loaded Burpy into his wrist blaster. "Uh oh." Luke said as Eli fired him and Burpy transformed and fires a blast of flames creating an explosion that knocks Luke in the web Eli created at the start of the battle
Luke struggles to escape but Eli appears in front of him with his blasters at the ready. "Sorry Luke, you lose again."
"Good match dad." Luke smiles as Eli cut his son free.
"You're getting better, you almost had me with that Fusion move." Eli smiles.
"Yeah, but I still can't seem to beat Burpy." Luke said as Burpy smiles and pats Luke before hopping back to Eli. "How'd you do that Slug Fu move back there?"
"A little skill I picked up when I was about your age." Eli said as Trixie, Kord and Pronto walk over.
"Nice match guys. Sorry Luke." Kord said.
"Thanks Uncle Kord." Luke said as Kord patting him on the back.
"You'll get him next time." Trixie assured him.
"You say that all the time mom." Luke rolls his eyes.
"And every time you get a little better." Trixie smiles.
"Agreed soon he will be as great and as amazing as Pronto." Pronto boasts causing all of them to chuckle.
"Still funny as ever Uncle Pronto." Luke said.
"Come on let's head back. If we hurry maybe I'll show you some more moves." Eli said as they all climbed onto the backs of their Mechabeasts.
As they were about to make their way back home Trixie suddenly got a call.
"Hello?" She said answering it. As she listened her eyes widen in shock. "On it we'll be right there." She said hanging up.
"What's wrong mom?" Luke asks.
"We got trouble people are saying the Shadow Clan is on the move, they're popping up everywhere." Trixie said surprising everyone.
"Come on we better move and see what's going on." Eli said riding ahead with everyone else behind him.
Making their way to the forest cavern 3 Shadow clan creatures appeared in front of them bringing them to a halt. One of them had a crown like head meaning he was the Shadow Clan Leader.
"Whoa." Luke said in awe as the Shadow Clan started to hiss forcing Eli to put on his Shadow Talker.
"What's going on? Why is the Shadow Clan all over the 99 Caverns?" He asks.
"It's an emergency Eli Shane, one that concerns all of Slugterra. One of our own has turned." It said shocking Eli.
"A Shadow Clan member is evil? How could this have happened?" Eli asks.
"We sent him to investigate a Dark Water Spring and it has turned him and now he's corrupting more and more of us as we speak." The Shadow Clan said.
"Don't worry we'll put a stop to him." Eli said.
Suddenly they heard an explosion in the distance.
"Something tells me we just found our badguy." Trixie said.
Racing towards it they all looked in shock to see multiple red Shadow Clan members attacking the other members turning them red and once they did the slugs that Shadow Clan members had turned into Ghoul Slugs.
"Please tell me Burpy hit me a little to hard and I'm dreaming." Luke said.
"Uh me too." Pronto said.
"I don't believe this." Trixie said in shock.
"They've turned into some sort of…Dark Clan." Luke said.
"Aw man I thought we were done with Ghouls." Kord groans.
"This is not going to be easy." Eli said as he looks to the Shadow Clan Leader and nods. "Let's go team!"
All of them ready their blasters and race in towards the battlefield.
Eli puts Burpy into his blaster and fires him. Flying towards the battlefield Burpy breathes fire trapping a dozen of the Dark Clan members in a circle of flames.
"Alright Bludgeon let's do this!" Kord fires his Rammstone slug which flies in a punches one Dark Clan member in the face.
Growling a Dark Clan member throws a Tempesto Ghoul which transforms creating a giant tornado.
Luke jumps off his Mechabeast and attaches his Frostcrawler to his blaster. "Freeze them Frost!" Luke said firing him and breathes ice freezing most of the Dark Clan in place.
"Eat my Stink! Dark Clan!" Pronto said loading Stinky his Flatulorhinkus slug.
Seeing Stinky heading towards them one of the Dark Clan members throws an Aquafreak ghoul. The ghoul transforms and fires a blast of water, but Stinky dodges and smashes into it releasing a cloud of horrible odors.
As the battle continued Luke looks around and notices one of the Dark Clan members climbing up the cliffs.
"What is that one heading towards?" Looking up he saw it was heading towards an opening in the top of Slugterra. "'No. Dad!" He yells getting Eli's attention.
Looking up Eli saw it heading for the hole. "No, not there any where but there! Reaching for a slug Eli fires a Hop Rocks that flew right towards the hole setting off an explosion upon impact.
When the smoke clears they saw in horror as the Dark Clan member had made it through the hole.
Eli, Luke, and Burpy in shock at what just happened. "No." Eli said as the Dark Clan made their escape with most of the Shadow Clan turned into the Dark Clan.
That night The Shane Gang and the remaining Shadow Clan members were sitting by a fire trying to figure out a plan.
"This is not good, that Dark Clan member got to the surface. All of Slugterra could be in jeopardy." Eli said.
"This is bad, this is really bad." Kord said.
"We have to go after it." Trixie said when the Shadow Leader hissed.
All of them looked to Eli for translation.
"He said no, the Shane Gang needs to stay here and help them save the rest of the Shadow Clan." Eli translates.
"But Dad, we can't leave this alone there has to be something we can do." Luke said.
"Agreed son, but to do that the Shane Gang would need to be in two places at once. I could call Dad, but he's enjoying retirement with mom." Eli said.
The Shadow Leader examines the 5 of them and says something to Eli that makes his eyes widen. "Wait what? Are you serious?" Eli asks as he nods.
"What did he say Eli?" Trixie asks.
"He said…he said we should send Luke up to the surface by himself to find the Dark Clan member while we handle things down here." Eli said shocking all of them.
"Me?! No, I mean my dad is the leader of the Shane Gang I'm still learning." Luke said nervously.
The Shadow Leader walks to Luke and pokes him in the chest and says something to him.
"He's right Luke, you're a Shane and as one you have to protect both Slugterra and the surface." Eli said.
"But what if I'm not ready?" Luke asks.
"Whoa hold up." Kord said getting his attention. "Luke since you were old enough to walk and pick up a blaster the 4 of us have trained you in all thing Slug. You're even more prepared than Eli was when he was your age."
"Besides if you ever need help you know that Pronto the Magnificent will rush to the rescue." Pronto declares.
Hearing this Luke couldn't help but smile.
The next morning Luke was in front of his house with Eli, Trixie, Pronto and Kord ready to say goodbye.
Trixie walks over and pulls her into a hug. "Good luck Luke be a good boy for Grandma and Grandpa when you're up there."
"I will mom." Luke said hugging her back.
Reaching into her bag she pulls out her Camera. "This is connected to the Slugnet, if you ever find yourself missing home give me a call. I also have most of my old Slug videos on there in case you need any tips." She said putting it in his backpack.
"Thanks Mom." Luke smiles as Trixie kisses him on the forehead.
Next up was Kord. "I made some upgrades to your Mecha to help you through whatever the surface world will throw at you."
"Thanks Uncle Kord you always know what we need." Luke said.
"Oh come here." Kord pulls Luke into a bone crushing hug. I'm gonna miss you little guy."
"Choking…not breathing." Luke said in a tight voice indicating he really was choking.
"Oops. Sorry." Kord said letting go.
Luke took a deep breath as he walked over to Pronto who was struggling to hold back his feelings.
"I'm gonna miss you too Uncle Pronto." Luke said.
Pronto chokes on something. "I'm sorry I promised myself I wasn't going to cry."
Luke smiles as he holds out his arms for a hug and instantly Pronto bursts into tears and hugs him. "Please don't go!" Pronto sobs.
"Hey, you're Pronto the Magnificent. If anyone can handle the Dark Clan, it's you." Luke assured him.
"Y-You're right. Pronto can do this." Pronto said acting confident.
Finally, Luke walks over to Eli and Burpy.
"Well dad I'm off." Luke said.
"You're gonna do great Luke I just know it." Eli smiles.
"Any last pieces of advice you'd like to give me before I leave?" Luke asks.
"Trust yourself and your slugs, they won't let you down." Eli said.
"I will dad." Luke nods.
As he was about to turn towards his Mecha Eli grabs his shoulder. "Wait. There's one more thing I want you to have." Eli reaches towards his shoulder and Burpy hops into his hand.
Luke's eyes widen as Eli holds out Burpy to him. "Dad are you giving me…Burpy?" Luke asks surprised as Burpy nods.
"I talked to Burpy last night and I think if he comes along you'll be just fine." Eli smiles as Burpy hops on to Luke's shoulder.
Luke chokes as tears run down his eyes. Reaching over Luke pulls his dad into a hug. "I'll make you proud dad. I promise."
Eli wraps his arms around Luke and pulls him in close. "I've always been proud of you Luke."
Luke separated and puts on his slug belt and backpack before climbing onto his Mecha.
"Well, guess I'm off." Luke said.
All of them smile as they wave goodbye.
"Ready Burpy?" Luke asks as Burpy nods.
Luke puts on his helmet and revs up his Mecha.
Racing towards the Drop Luke presses a green button and his Mecha transforms into a Motorcycle. "Buckle up everyone!" Luke said to his slugs as they braced themselves.
Clicking a red button rockets shoot out of his motorcycle allowing Luke to race straight up the rocks towards the Drop.
Bursting through it Luke found himself in an abandoned sewer.
As Burpy lit himself on fire Luke climbed out of the sewer and found that it was night time. "Alright Burpy lead me to Grandpa Will." Luke said as Burpy led him into the city.
Passing by a sign it read "Welcome to Canterlot."
Little did Luke know that he was in store for an out of this world experience and I don't just mean from Slugterra.
