A few days after Mike and Mal met Zoey and their slugs, they have been able to fix up the hideout to be more homely and clean. Currently right now, it's almost night time in SlugTerra. And right now, the twins are training dealing with their slugs...
"AH!" Mike yelped as he dodged Zoeys Hop Rock, Hopper.
Well I never said they're doing that well.
"Sorry!" Zoey said as she loaded Flare "try standing sideways though, it make it harder to shoot!"
Mike nodded, but in truth, he didn't want to hurt Zoey even though it was training, lover boy :3
Meanwhile, Mal was watching drinking water while Trickster munch on slug food. He already did his training and was watching Mike "hmm...I wonder how long it takes for them to realized they both have a crush on each other Trickster?" He snickered while Trickster shrugged.
Mike loaded Slushy as Zoey aimed Flare. They shot at the same time, Slushy blowing a gust of ice and frost from her mouth, freezing Flare and curing her to fall back down in proto-form. He then loads and fires Draco, who transforms and knocks the blaster out of Zoeys hand, not hurting her of course. Mike went over and helped her up
"Sorry about that Zo" Mike said "You were doing great, you almost had me"
Zoey smiled "thanks, you're doing great too. Your improving in your dueling, both of you are."
Mal stretched "well, look at the time,lets hit the hay guys. It's almost night." He got up and the two nodded and follow.
...all unaware that tonight it'll be one of the longest nights for them
[Theme Song, Nevereverland by Nano]
[Scene Changed]
At night, It showed Draco and Trickster sleeping near a window downstairs in the hideout. Unknown to them, a pair of yellow eyes glanced at them.
Draco stored and rubbed his eyes with a squeak with Trickster. Draco hopped toward the window with a raised eyebrow. Both slugs eyes widen when they hear a growl... And soon...
...A slug hungry Slug Hound barked and clawed at the window!
The the slugs squeaked in fear and alarm and starts hopping/running away from it and soon the hound broke the window trying to eat them.
The slug hound chased them a bit till they escaped through the broken window. Draco blowed energy at the hound making it yelp and run away whining.
The slugs soon signed in relief...only to help as they got caught in a slug trap. A glass box lifting them into the air by a rope that's attached to a tree(just call the mushroom tree trees from now on) but on the bright side, they didn't have to worry about the rain in the trap. It was raining hard that night
Draco tries to escape but the trap wouldn't break. Trickster sighed and played with a random pebble he had. Their eyes soon widen as they see a hooded and cloaked figure.
The figure traps the slugs in a capsule together, making sure no escape before turning to leave... but sniffs the air, detecting Slushy and Zoey's slug
Draco growls, not liking the idea that he was just 'kidnaped' and didn't want the other slug hurt while Trickster blows a raspberry
The figure snuck into the house by the roof and traps Slushy as well, looking for the last slug
Slushy eyes widen and sqeaks in alarm, Mike starting to wake up
"Slushy...?" He said drowsy
The figure growled and pointed a wrist gantlet at Mike, and fired, covering Mike in webs. He quickly grabs Flare and drags Mike to the basement, making sure he didn't make a sound
Flare squeaked in alarm, whole Mike yelped and struggles "what the?! Let us go!"
throws Mike down on the ground while putting a cat foot on his head. Wait...what? Cat foot?
The figure throws Flare in with the three other slugs and makes his gauntlets launch spider webs, trapping Mike more
Flare yelped while Mike struggles "let us go! That's our slugs! Your working for that Doctor Black guy those goons said their working for aren't you?!"
the figure spoke, a monster mix like voice "If I was then you and your brother would be way on your way to him by now. I only want the slugs so I can make a living." He turns to leave... but steps on Mal's horn on his way out and hits his head on the wall falling off the stairs
and Zoey eyes snapped open and grabbed their blaster, (good thing Zoey has more then one slug) while Mike manage to break free.
"Your still not stealing them, their our friends!"
Trickster laughed as the "cat thief" hit his head
The thief growled and aims his gauntlets snarling at them all, making sure his cloak didn't fall
"Trickster/Flare/Drago and Slushy!" The three yelled as the slug perked up
"Let them go whoever you are!" Zoey said aiming her blaster
The thief glared with a snarl... and eyes slit and he jumped on Mal's head and fled upstairs
Mal yelped and barely manage to keep his balanced" hey, come back here with our slugs!" They follow him as Mike got his blaster.
They reached the roof but couldn't find him, why? The figure was hiding on the roof in the shadows
The slugs tried to squeak to get their attention, but thanks to the 'cat theif', they couldn't hear them. Mal growls "he got away!"
The figure glares and takes Trickster out, locking the others up and squeezing the slug in rage with a hiss
Trickster squeaks in fear as the other tried to get out to help him
The figure tighten his grip, ready to kill the annoying slug until...
Mal climbed up and kick the thief away from the slug, Trickster landing in his blaster ad Mal aiming it at him, "You really think I didn't suspected you hid in the shadows? Been there seen that millions of times."
The figure growled and aims his gauntlets in response
Mal glared "let the rest of the slugs go or else" Mike and Zoey climbed to the roof as well
"Or else what...?" The figure said, grinning. He then he,d Draco capsule in his hand and tighten his grip, threatening to crush it and Draco. Mike eyes widen "Draco!"
Mal glared intensify "Trickster may be my only slug, but I know he can defeat you. " Trickster nods in the blaster and snarled at the thief. Mal fired causing him to go into velocity form
The figure shot Trickster with ease with a roar
Or at least what he thought, it was Trickster illusions powers! The theif saw three Mal points their blaster at him.
eyes swirl seeing triple the Mal as he displays his force field, immediately seeing if the three slugs were in the capsules.
Slushy wasn't there, Trickster using his Slugnap move to free her.
When he fired at one Mal, it went right through him, while the real Mal fires again using Slushy, causing the thief to slip on ice.
He then fired Trickster again, which caused the cloak on the thief to go over his head and tied up a bit, blinding him a bit.
The thief growls and rips it off, the trio finally seeing who he was
He had blond hair with a purple dot on it, brown eyes(according to the wiki I found) that was spiked up. He was a hybrid, with a cat tail, ears, fangs and claws. He was wearing a dark purple shirt with dark blue pants. His shirt had a yellow claw mark designed on it.
The trio eyes widen, during this, the sun was rising, day/dawn was coming...
as the sunrise touched the thief... he teared up and gave a painful scream as he glowed
Everyone eyes widen at that "what the...?!"
When it was over, he looked like a regular human boy. He aimed his blaster that was his gauntlet. It was a wrist mounted blaster(like Danna Por's) and was orchid, purple colored with a yellows strip on it.
"Kitten!"He yelled and was about to shoot but he stopped when Trickster illusions made him faint
Trickster and the slugs got out of their capsules eyes widen
Mike and Zoey went over with Mal, Mike to began to feel his forehead, to see if he and a fever "he fainted, but not in the best condition...the illusions must have did a number on him..."
They noticed a mark under the boy shirt, on his back
Zoey looked under his shirt at the mark "what is this...?"
...It showed scars and the brand of the dead given to people who used to work as bounty hunters
Zoey eyes widen with the twins" he has scars...he used to work as a bounty hunter too...that's what the brand means..."
The boy then slapped her hand away, making her yelp, and sit up. A slug purring on his shoulder
It had a purple body, with orchid hands and antennas, it hands had golden yellow part underneath it with a golden yellow underbelly and stripes on its back with yellow eyes. It also had little cat fangs
He grabbed his ripped up cloak and rubbed his eyes with a yawn
Mal noticed whats slug that the boy had "a Lazerline slug?"
"Are you ok...?" Mike asked
"Just leave me to a tree to sleep, no where to stay.. " he tears up as another memory hit him, and walks away and puts Kitten (the Lazerline slug) back in her capsule
They notice the tears easly and followed him "no place to live?"
You don't have a home?" Mike asked, he may have tried to steal their slugs, but Mike and the others could see good in the boy.
He wipes them away while rolling his eyes " I don't. Being a slug catcher is all I can do to collect gold(the money in SlugTerra)
"Well there are other stuff you can do besides collecting slugs..." Zoey says "I mean, I don't collect and sell slugs but I can still make some gold by winning duels and selling some of my home made sewing..."
"I'm the one that pillages. I cannot be seen in tournaments. I'm a wanted man. (Points at the scar) That's the way I got kicked out." The boy said as the screen shows a flashback
[scene changed, flashback begins]
"My father was a Slave, unfortunately, and even more awful, he messed up one day...I was a kid back then. He told me to run because the client wasn't some in to mess with...Doctor Thaddius Blakk."
"While my dad was out, he came to our house and told me to come with me or else. I managed to escape but..."
The scene showed the boy escaping, wincing in pain since he barely dodged the slugs that were fired on him, he jumped onto a cargo cart, hitting some weird red water substances, putting Kitten capsule above him for safety
Kitten eyes widen and squeaked in alarm for her partner
He grinned "I'm fine." He then turns and runs as the flashback ends
[scene changed, flashback ends]
"That's how I gained this cat form...I was affected by that stuff, I learned latter it's called dark water."
Zoey eyes were widen "Dark water...I remember the Cave trolls say unnaturally things happened around it..."
Mal and Mike ere also surprise, they never thought Black would go that far, they didn't even met him yet.
"Why would Black have Dark water..."
"To corrupt slugs into ghouls(eyes narrow) I don't know what happened to my father since" he turns to leave
Mike stopped him" wait...if Doctor Black is after you...then maybe it's better if you stay in a group..."
Odd turns around in surprise "really? You'll let me stay after what I did...?"
Zoey nodded "sure, I mean, forgive and forget right?"
"And no one deserves to be alone" Mike and Mal said
"So, do you?" Mal asked
Odd grins with Kitten "hmm,...fine, ok then. Oh, and my name's Odd Della Robia! Besides trapping, I'm a pretty good tracker!"
"Mike/Mal/Zoey." They introduced. Odd hums
"Then I'll call you two...the double M Twins!" Odd laughed at Mal annoyed face while Mike sweat drops, the people at the surface called them that too and Mal was annoyed by the name
"Seriously?"
[Scene changed]
Me: well this chapter is a bit more sad do to Odd past, but it had to be done
Odd: Totaldramafan102 doesn't own ANYTHING but the Slug OCs. The double M. Twins belong to Total Drama while Odd belongs to Code:Lyoko!...which is me!(laughs at Mal annoyed face)
Mal: ( huffs) she will also like to thank Shinxshinx1595 for helping out in the chapter and stuff
Mike: review, PM, and spread the word about this story!
Zoey: please review, only one person reviewed the story so far...and if you do-
