Previously...

I shook my head, "Goodbye Tad, take care of Slugterra for me."

"Don't you say that Eli," Tad shouted with his eyes shut and shaking his head like it was going to fall off.

"Yes I must, listen," I ordered. Tad looked at me listening, "Take care of Slugterra and if you need help tell Trixie or Kord that you need to see Junjie. Here." I handed him my Shadowtalker and his eyes were confused. "Use it for the Shadowclan and show it to Junjie, right now I played a message for him. Tell him to activate use the word Slug Fu Brothers!" Tad nodded confidently as the portal increased power.

"Goodbye Tad."

"Goodbye Eli."

Then with a breathe, I let go of Tad seeing my final moments of Slugterra and saying goodbye to my family and home silently.

"Goodbye Kord, Trixie, Tad, Pronto, Red Hook, and Junjie." I turned my body with me facing the portal and going in headfirst. "I'm coming Dad!"

Black darkness, and a cold feeling.


Eli's P.O.V

I don't recommend to people who don't like the dark or a sick feeling in your stomach to fall down a hole to save your home and family. It felt like eternity just feeling weightless and drifting side by side like a piece of paper lost in the forever wind.

What has it been minutes, hours, or even days! But whatever how long I was falling it just felt like I was falling for my whole life.

Then I heard a chirp located on my right shoulder that snapped me out of my train of thoughts. I looked to see me Infurnus slug and best friend Burpy, who looks at me with a little concern.

"I'm okay Burpy, just falling down a hole that leads who know where," reassuring Burpy.

Then he faced where my body was facing and was chirping pretty excitedly, so are the slugs on my bandoleer. I shook my head in amusement, of course my own slugs will find this fun.

Then when I looked around me the walls started to change from their ebony black to dark grey which what looked like lava seeping through all the rock, then I noticed I was falling towards a blue wall force very quickly. I tore through it slowly like it was some sort of jelly then as I left I noticed my body glowed blue and vanished. Another second passed by and my slugs were chirping like mad when I noticed another wall but red with black swirling through and moving like lava. I closed my eyes, then felt a burning sensation like no other like a bunch of Infurnus slugs hit me at once. I opened my eyes and noticed my slugs twitching then transformed into ghouls.

"Oh no," I said out loud.

On my shoulder Burpy was a Darkfernus, I grabbed him to take a better look then it hit me.

The blue wall was the guardian gate which coated me with slug energy and red wall was the Darkbane wall which was coated with Dark Water. That explains why Dr. Blakk and my dad was so pale and ghoulish looking. I quickly looked at my arms but still had the healthy tan like always. Maybe the slug energy coat is protecting me from the corruption but it didn't to my slugs. I looked back down at Burpy wishing he was saved also.

Then my hands started to glow as bright as a Phosphoro slug. I felt something draining out of me and going through my hands flowing through Burpy. I opened my eyes and shocked to see Burpy cured and chirping happily and went back on my shoulder nudging me in affection and gratitude.

'Eli...Eli...' went a voice but I looked around me to see nothing. Then the Voice continued. 'Eli Shane, you have been chosen by the slugs to journey into the world beneath Slugterra. But the journey will be difficult and you may be not be able to go back to Slugterra normal. Down here things are different, more evil and sinister things will be waiting for you.'

"Who are you?" I shouted into the darkness that I was falling in. Then an image appeared in front of tinted with blue slug energy. There was my father looking healthy, strong, and young when I saw him the last time before Dr. Blakk "dealt" with him.

"Dad!" I exclaimed joyfully.

'Listen Eli, you are destined to protect Slugterra and the Surface from any threats.

Long ago when the first ghoul appeared, the first Shane cured it but received a prophecy that a Shane will be chosen to stop the virus and will be bestow many powers from the slugs. For a long time, a long line of Shanes not only ventured down in Slugterra but also the world beneath it. But all failed. Then a Shane banned all Shanes from venturing ever down. So as time went on the world beneath Slugterra faded but only a few still believe it exists.

When I was with your Uncle Jimmo, himself and I thought I was the chosen one but it appeared I was wrong when I myself tried to go through the guardian gate. The Shadowclan came and told me that I wasn't the chosen one but my child will be.

The day before you were going to be born all the slugs were glowing blue and chirping like mad and wouldn't transform when you will fire them. I rushed back up to the Surface then your mother gave birth to you. Then one day only to my eyes, you glowed blue and my slugs came out of bandoleer and started to bow to you so you were the chosen Shane. I was so proud but terrified because I knew you will venture down and protect us.

So when I returned back to Slugterra I used my Enigmo slug to record this message for you when you are going to the world.

So son I wish you good luck and I don't know where I might be right now but I will always love you and also HAPPY BIRTHDAY, you are sixteen now.'

"Wait Dad, don't go."

'Don't worry Eli, I will guide you and explain your powers and how they work. Goodbye, son.'

The image broke apart then started to melt into my hands so I will always be in touch with my father when I need him. Looking down at my other ghouled slugs they are chirping arguments that I can't comprehend.

"Hey settle down guys," trying to calm them. First looking at me then they resumed into arguing again.

Now this was getting me frustrated, clenching my hands in a tight fist causing them to glow in a blood red aura, "STOP!".

Then that's what got their attention and making them stop their noise and listening to me. I looked at my fists seeing it changing from red to blue slug energy then evaporated into blue sparkles. Snapping out my daze, starting to notice that I saw ground fast approaching so grabbing Burpy, I loaded him in my blaster. Once I fired, I noticed that he wasn't transforming an idea sprang in my head.

Closing my eyes then opened them taking a cleansing breath, thrusting my hands forward and concentrating. A pain in my gut forming as then a blue aura surrounded my hands and at the same time Burpy starting to glow in a blue aura too. Pushing my newly found power forward, my arms started to become numb, my head aching, and my body feeling drained.

My eyes starting to droop in exhaustion then lit when I saw Burpy transforming into his Updraft (Is what I call it) transformation which was that his flames were blue because being exposed to slug energy. In a few seconds I landed on him, I was exhausted feeling as energy was drained out of me.

"Land on the ground Burpy," pointing as we hovered in the air. Nodding at me, he tuck into a slow, steady drop being very cautious with me. At least four feet from the ground, using some remaining strength I may have, I dropped off of Burpy who transformed back into his Protoform.

Funny thing was that when he transformed the blue slug energy I gave him went off his body into mine then I started to feel energized.

"I'm okay Burpy," answering his concerned look, "It looks like we are back with the Darkbane."

Looking around to see everything barren with pools of Dark Water churning and with a red tint in the air. Looking at Burpy, I could tell he wasn't happy to be here again.

"Don't worry, we'll be fine. But I am not ghouling you this time," looking at my shoulder then at my bandoleer filled with ghouled slugs.

All of them started to hop out and running everywhere, playing mean tricks on each other, fighting, and playing in some Dark Water.

"Ok calm down guys." They all come together remembering what happened when we were falling.

As I landed a step, the ground below me glowed blue and grass started to form but when I lift my foot, it withered then die. Drawing my powers again, I focused on giving pure slug energy to my ghouled slugs but it became extremely tired.

Feeling something landing on my shoulder, I see Doc who also starting to glow in his energy giving me a boost. Closing my eyes and concentrating but then I felt myself feeling weightless and soon I landed on the ground.

I opened my eyes to see all my slugs back to hoe they were originally were.

"Your welcome guys," grinning at their antics of giving thanks to me.

Burpy started to chirp madly, waving his arm pointing behind me. Then I heard voices and grunts approaching us, maybe seeing blue energy is suspicious to them.

"Hurry everyone," they all hopping in my arms.

Without a moment to spar, I hid behind a small, low hidden cave at the left of me. I slithered in, squeezing my small body in and quieting my breath in hope of not getting noticed. Soon feet appeared walking in front of me. But one of them had boots and soon the owner of the boots talked in a voice that jolted my memories.

"You sure you saw something?"

"Yes."

"Hey call me what you are suppose to call me!"

"Yes Blakk."

My breath halted as I saw the feet and heard the voices of Dr. Blakk and my father!
