(When we last left off, Mike and Mal were entering the abounded hideout...)

Mal said "I'll look this way, you look that way? " Mike nods and they went their separate ways

Unknown to them, two small creatures were watching them. The light blue one pushed the turquoise one with a silent squeak. The light blue one must be scared of the twins. The other one nodded and followed Mike as a red one tiled his head at Mal and followed him.

[scene change]

Mike was looking through the kitchen, and the living room, silently impress by the tech they have even tough it's old "what exactly is this place..."

The turquoise creature eyes narrow, and roared. When Mike turned around his eyes widen as he see a giant shadow

Mike seeing the shadow eyes widen, and backs away, throng to find something to defend himself "what in the world...?!"

The shadow got larger as it came close, until the shadow owner appeared to be...a small turquoise creature, with brown eyes, spike form it forehead to it's tail, and it's head was spiked backward(I stink at description at times, just check out my devianarts profile for it)it roared and snarled again at Mike, making him flinched a bit, but wasn't afraid.

"Huh...what are you...'" Mike goes down to its level, trying to prove he wasn't a threat "it's ok...I'm not going to hurt you...um a friend, see? " he put his hand down for the little creatures to sniff it and hop in it, for some strange reason, it felt so...natural to him.

The turquoise creature hoped over slowly, it looked at Mike hand a bit and looked back at him...then he grinned and hoped on Mike hand cuddling it a bit with a squeak.

Mike smiled and raises his hand, putting the creature on his shoulder. He pets it's head using his finger "there you go little guy, your a tough me huh? " for another strange reason, he wanted to name him "your like a dragon, tough and brave but loyal and kind as well...how you like the name...Draco?

The newly named Draco squeaked happily at the name. It call out in a squeak, must be trying to call out the other creature it was with. Draco sigh and hops on Mike shoulder

Mike smiled " let go find my brother...(he starts walking) I wonder what are you anyway...

[Scene Change]

With Mal, he was looking for anything that might give him a hint of where he and Mike was. He was looking through the old computer but it wouldn't work

Mal grumbled a bit "who's ever was here before us sure didn't come here in a long time...almost everything here is in need of repair... " he starts messing with it a bit.

He didn't noticed the red creature earlier spying on him. It was rose red colored with small horns, a mohawk, and mask patterns over the eyes. It got covered in a red mist and soon...it was disguise as a lamp? This one must be special.

It got closer to Mal, it then turns normal and turns into Mike and taps on his shoulder glaring deadly.

Mal turns around with a raises eyebrow "Mike? What's wrong? Found something?"

'Mike' tried to tackle Mal with a growl, but Mal dodged it with a yelp. "Mike! What wrong with you?!"

'Mike' grabbed a lamp with a snarl.

Mal had a depend face a bit "if this revenge for replacing your toothpaste with chocolate pudding last Friday, I thought you got over it by now, and not try to give me a concision with a lamp!" With that, Mal zip past 'Mike' by heading upstairs in the hideout.

'Mike' slams the lamp and follows holding the computer. But before he could follow Mal into the room, Mal pressed a button on the side of the doorway, causing the door to slam shut on 'Mike's' face. Mal hearing three angry knocks on the door.

Mal had barricade the door with a chair "ok, either I made Mike snap with me having 'fun', or That's not Mike...(smirks) either or, I'm pretty sure they'll learn that they shouldn't mess with someone who's been pranking since they could walk." And with that Mal was busy making his prank plan operational.

'Mike' managed to breaks the door down by throwing the computer... Only for a bucket of soda fall on his face, the bucket over his head blinding 'Mike' a bit.

He tried to rip it off, when he walked forward while he does that, he tripped and slide on...a banana peel! Mal was eating the banana as he watches. 'Mike' hits a wall hard and the bucket breaks.

'Mike' blinked as flour falls over him, covering him in white powder. Mal came over and looked at him with a smirk finishing the banana

"Mal: 1, Crazy Mike: 0" as he hold his fingers to have a zero"

"..." The imposter Mike huffs and turns normal with a squeak, impressed.

Mal tiled his head with a raised eyebrow "huh? What are you little guy?"

The created did a laugh squeak and hoped over too Mal leg with a squeak., cuddling it a bit

Mal smiled and picked it up, and pets his head. Like Mike, it felt natural for him to do this. "That's some trick you got there, you made me think you we're my twins... (Hums) how bout I call you...Trickster?"

Trickster squeaked very happily and hoped on Mal shoulder. He then cuddled Mal face a bit

That caused Mal to laugh, then he noticed a book with the name 'the History of Slug Terra' Mal picked it up and read a few paged" so we're in SlugTerra...like a world beneath our feet...(looks at Trickster) guessing your a slug huh?

Trickster nodded and squeaked in agreement,

Mal smiled and noticed another book saying 'Slugs Names/Types/and basic knowledge"...that's strangely ironic and convenient at the same time, but I'm not complaing" he took the book and reads it as he walks with the sleeping Trickster on his holder looking for Mike.

[Scene Change]

Meanwhile with Mike, Draco was squeaking trying to find something, or someone.

Draco soon went in a hole in the wall, and came out pulling out the light blue slug from before. She had blue leopard spot on her side and blue underbelly, along with light brown eyes. She squeaked as she got pulled out.

Mike knees down to their level "huh? Who's this Draco?"

Draco squeak, like he's trying to tell him her name. The new slug then hoped on Mike and cuddled him, he felt coldness from her, making him yelp.

"whoa, you feel cold...(pets her head) but, you seem nice...hmmm..." For some reason, the Slug saw some resemblances to Mike to someone else...someone she cares for.

The slug squeaked very happily and turns his hand ice cold when she climbed on him.

Mike yelped again"whoa! (Chuckles) maybe I should call you...Slushy?"

Slushy squeaked happily and cuddles Mike shoulder, soon enough, Mal came in when the door open with Trickster on his shoulder "Hey Mikey, you'll never guess what I found."

Mike blinked seeing Trickster "Mal, you have one of those creatures too?"

Mal nods with a smirk "yup, their called Slugs. The one I have here is a Thugglet slug, I call him Trickster. (He points at Slushy) and that one a Leoberg slug. (He looks at Draco with a raised eyebrow) I...don't know what he is though yet..."

Mike raised an eyebrow "how do you know that?" Mal showed the books he found, and said "I found these and that's how, want me to give ya the basics or the quicker lazier version?"

Mike sweatdrops "just the basics Mal..."

Mal shrugged and started to explain "well, apparently we're I this world called SlugTerra. These creatures are called Slug, there are many different kind of breeds of the too with different powers. There are 99 caverns in SlugTerra. And there are people called slugslingers. They collect slugs and do battle with them by loading them in their blaster. You see, when Slug reach 100 mph, the transform, and can do powerful moves. The caverns are the key to SlugTerra also...oh, and our home 'The Surface' is called The Burning World and is believed to be a very tail singed no one ever went there or came from there. Except us of coursed"

Mike blinked "well...so that's it...that sound like something out of a TV show though."

"I know right? But here we are."

Mike was about to say something but got cut off as the twins and slugs hear an explosion. Their eyes widen "what as that?"

"I don't know" Mal said "but it coming form outside, most likely near here."

Mike turned and ran for the door with Mal "come on guys, lets check it out. " the slugs n their shoulder nodded determined

[Scene Change]

The twins followed the sound if the explosions, to see two man wearing dark black suits, with a red V on their shoulders. Their bandoleers had Red slug tubes instead of the regular blue kind, and their slugs were-wait, what kind of Slugs are those?!

Mike and Mal were thinking that exact same thing. They glared as the goons destroyed another mushroom tree

"Any luck finding those slugs?" The first goon asked

"Nope, are you sure that rare slug is supposed to be here?"

The first one shrugged, lets just call him Goon 1 "don't know, there's just been rumors here and Blakk want us to find them before someone else does."

Mike and Mal raises their eyes brows. Blakk? Who's he and what slugs are their talking about...

The slugs squeaks angry at the goons whole glaring when they destroyed another tree

"Ok, that's enough!" Mike said as he and Mal hoped down.

"Hey you two! Guys in the lame jumpsuit!" Mal shouted, the goons glaring

"Back off kid, official business of Blakk Industries!" Goon 2 said

Mal and Mike rolls their eyes as Draco growls at them, making Goon 1 eyes widen

"Wait, that's the Psychokinesis Slug!" Goon 2 glared with a dark smirk "ok kids, hang over your slugs and we let you live"

The twins glared "no way"

Goon 1 rolled his eyes and loaded his blaster "find then, it your funeral!" That's when the twins got a good look at the slug he was using, only...it didn't look like a slug at all!

It looked a bit like a Hop Rock, only it was gray, and have brown backs with yellow bulb. It's eyes were completely red and had fangs! It growled and roared at them

"Is that...a slug?" Mal asked

"What did you did to it?!" Mike yelled as the goon chuckled

"Doctor Blakk improved it and made it stronger, he going to it to all slugs and no one can stop it." He aims the blaster at the twins "and it's called a Ghoul." He fired. It got covered in a red light as it transformed, it become a sickly yellow, with a blue, spiky helmet. They also have pointed teeth, claws and a clubbed tail covered in thick spikes. It hisses at the twins as it transformed and the twins barely divided the explosion

"Whoa!" They yelled as they took cover

"Maybe we should have thought this out more?" Mal said as Mike rolled his eyes "ya think?"

The goons laugh as they continue firing "It wouldn't have to end like this if you two just hand over the slugs."

Mike glares "and have you turn them into those ghouls thing? No chance!" He yelped again as he ducked down, the slugs squeaking in worry, but they couldn't do anything if the twins didn't have a blaster...

"It over kids, you lose!" Goon 2 laugh about to fire another Hop Jack...but his blaster got shot out of his hands when an oranges blur shot it out of his hand "Ow! What in the-?!" They all thread to see a girl riding a red and slight pink Horse Mecha beast, having a blaster that was rounded(like Trixies) that was red ith a link flower designed

The girl had red hair in pigtails, one which had a flower on it, a shoulder less blouse with pink shoulder pads, tan kaki shorts with tan boots. She had a bandoleer on her waist with slug tubes that were the normal blue color. Mike couldn't help but blush a bit when he saw the girl.

"Shes...Beautiful..." He thought to himself, Mal noticed this and smirks

"Oh! Mikey has a crush~ note to self: if we survive this tease him about this later." Mal thought to himself

"Hey, leave them alone!" She loaded a red and white slug in her blaster and fired. It got covered in a light as it transformed with a body of a bass(the type of fish) but flames were covering it's body. Te slug glared and fired a fireball attack at the goons, who were unlucky and set on fire...and me of their butts were on fire

"AH!" They scream as they put it out "retreat! You haven't seen the last of us!" With that they left, the girl sighing in relief

"And I'm not sorry for that..." She hoped on her Mecha and went down to the twins "hey, are you two ok?" The twins nod

"Yeah, thanks to you. Who are you?" Mike asked

The girl smiled as the Flaringo (the fire slug from before) hoped on her shoulder "My names Zoey, and this is my slug Flare" Flare waved with a squeak as Mike and Mal slugs waved back

"Well, nice to me ya Zoey." Mike said "but, what with those goons and their ghouls? What happened to those slugs..."

Zoey face looked saddned "Doctor Blakk that's what, he's using something to corrupt them, I'm worried cause it's not only hurting the slugs but it could destroy all of SlugTerra." The twins eyes widen at that

"Oh no..."

Zoey shakes it off "well, why not move to the less saddening subject, what's your names?"

"Michael Ryan Moon-Smith, but you can call me Mike"

"Malevolent James Moon-Smith, just call me Mal"

Zoey nodded "ok, well, what are you two doing here?

"Well you see we fell from-" Mike tried to explain but cut off as Mal pulled his ear and dragged him away

"Mike, it not a good idea to tell her about our little 'home cavern'. Remember, they don't know it exist, if they do it won't be pretty..." Mike signed and nodded

"Ok Mal..." They walked back

[scene Change]

A few minutes later, Zoey was in the hideout as Mal was exploiting a bit more, Mike finishing their story on how hey got here, only with a few detailed changed...

"So, you and Mal are twins since babies, landed here by a train crashed, the cavern you grew up in was decollated from most of SlugTerra and you don't know that's much about it, found this place by accident and found your slugs here?" Zoey explained, summarizing the story Mike told. He nodded

"Pretty much, (Draco and Slushy hoped on his shoulder) we didn't have blaster so we couldn't defend back, if we did, I'm sure these guys would have done great. " Zoey eyes widen seeing Draco

"Wait...is that a...Psychokinesis Slug?!" Zoey said in surprise

"Psychokinesis Slug?" Mike asked looking at Draco, Zoey nodded

"Yeah, I'm surprise you have one. Their supposed to be legend! A myth as they say."

"Wow...the goons said the same thing, that must be why they came here." Draco and Slushy nods, they soon hear what sounds like someone working on something

"All done~!" Mal said from anther room

Mike sighs "oh no, what did Mal do this time..." They all head to the room he was in, but it was locked with a Passcode

"If you want to get it, the password is Elementa Moon!" Mal said front he other room

"How did you-"

"I have my way,"

Mike entered the password, and the door open to a garaged,...only to come gun point to a blaster. It's shape was so lair to Eli blaster, but was red with purple spike designed. Mal was holding it and Trickster was in it

"Ah! Mal watch were your pointing that thing!" Mal huffed

"Hey, be glad I managed to fix this thing, along with another one. I'll give it to you Mike, but I change my mind if your going to be so rude about it..." Mal snicker and Mike sighed

"Ok ok, sorry Mal, wait, how did you fix a blaster when you don't know about them." Mike asked, in responses took out a book about Blaster and pointed at the dusty blueprint of the blaster looks like someone was making these but couldn't finished

"You underestimate my skills Mikey." Zoey couldn't help but giggle at the twins, they really were brother by the way they act.

Mal handed him the second blaster, it was white with energy designed in turquoise color, it fits him perfectly. Mike grinned "nice..." He then saw the slugs tubes and him and Mal grabbed them and walked outside

"What are you two doing?" Zoey asked as she followed

Mal smirked "testing out out slugs." He said as he loaded Trickster "so, first you chose your slug then you sling it, continue till the others quits and you win right?"

"Yes but it much more then that" Zoey explained

Mike loaded up Draco, the slug grinning in excitement. "Well, ready Draco?" The slug nodded, And Mike fired

Draco was covered in a light, and soon he transformed. He had a bod so lair to an Inferunas Slug, but a dragon like head, with spike going down from his head to his tail, which now had cerulean energy flaring like fire at the end. He wings wings had the same color energy as it flowed. Mike looked up amazed with Zoey and Mal,

"Wow! That's awesome Draco!"Mike cheered for his slug as the dragon energy slug flew around, leaving a trial of energy as it did, and landed back on Mike shoulder in proto-form

"Trickster turn" Mal said and fired Trickster. When he transformed his horns grow, his body turns skinny and grow large teeth. When he hit the ground, both hi and Mal disappeared in a puff of red mist.

"Mal?" Mike looked around, and yelped as Mal appears behind him out of nowhere laughing

"Illusions remember Mikey?" Mal teased

Mike sighed and loaded Slushy into his blaster " your turn, ready Slushy?" Te slug nodded squeaking happily. And Mike fired

When Slushy transformed, she gained a combo of a leopard and Frostcrawler body with blue leopard spots, she gained claws too with longer teeth a bit.

She hit a tree and it got covered in ice/slush and she hopped toward Mike when she was done squeaking happily in her proto-form. Mike put his hand down allowing the female slug to hop back on his shoulder.

Zoey clapped her hand "nice job! Though, you'll need more experienced slugs, not that your slugs aren't great but 1 or 2 slugs aren't really that much..." She then got an idea "wait, the tournament! It should be coming up in a week or two! You can earn slugs there! I'll be happy to help you two!"

The twins smiled "really?"

Zoey nods "yeah, though we need to do some thing about your clothes...their not really normal for slugslingers..." She point to their Surface close and they sweat drops "but, I can make you some outfits"

"Really?" Mike asked "thanks but you don't have to-" he got cut off as Zoey grabs his hand

"No, I insist, anything for a friend right?" Zoey dragged Mike away, not knowing he was looking at her love-struck as Mal followed snickering.

[Scene Change]

It now shows the twins in their new SlugTerra clothes

Mal still had his red shirt but it was lightly armored, and had a small red purple/ball backpack strapped to it. The backpack had a golden dragon on the top pointing left. He had black jeans with sneakers but was sturdy. Black and blue fingerless gloves, a tool belt for his blaster, and a bandoleer, it had a spot where he can put a symbol on it, but not yet(until a latter chapter )

Mike, had something similar to Mal, his turquoise shirt was now lightly armored too with a small backpack strapped to it too, only this backpacks was white and blue with the dragon points to the right. He had blue jeans with a bit if white in them with sneakers that are sturdy. He had red and white fingerless gloves, a tool belt for his blaster, and his bandoleer. The twins looked impress

"Wow Zoey, you really good at making clothes " Mike complimented, Zoey twirling her pigtail shy

"Thanks, I just made it fit your Personalities and I've been doing to for a while..."

Mal stretched and yawn "well, since we've already clean this place up a bit, I'm going to bed since this is our new home for now Mikey. I'll just go to bed and leave you two lovebirds alone~ try not to make out while I'm gone~" Mal then left smirking and laughing at the blushing Mike and Zoey

"M-Mal!"
