13 years later

Down below of the Surface where the world of Slugterra where all slugs are. A Shane Hideout, the house of Eli Shane and his gang were. Eli, now 15 years old, was in room and was lying on his bed with a sad expression. All of his slugs were worried about him. Eli sigh and looked at his amber amulet that was found from an old treasure chest. His only precious treasure.

13 years ago, Eli had moved to his new home leaving his childhood friends and brothers behind. Eli wanted to stay with them a little longer but they told him it's okay because they have amulets as charms, memories, and promise each other that will see each other again someday.

"Vert… Max… I missed you both," Eli whispered and his slugs hopped over to him. They chirp which grab the attention of Eli, "Hey guys. Sorry I made you worried. I was just think in my mind." He said to his slugs. Burpy hopped on Eli's shoulder and few chirps to him, "Thanks buddy. I know you're trying to cheer me up. I wonder if Vert and Max will come down here… and wonder where our dad is," Eli said, it's true that Eli's father went missing and never been found.

Burpy has an idea. He hops away and head towards Eli's orang backpack. He went in then within seconds he exit out now holding an envelope in his tiny hands. Burpy hopped over to Eli and give the envelope to him, "What's this?" Eli open the envelope and took out a paper. He then starts to read and his slugs listen.

"Hi, Eli. I wrote down this letter and give it to Burpy so you will read this letter. If you're reading this, there's something we need say: You're a great younger brother, Eli. Also we're sure that one day, you'll be going down to Slugterra once you're older enough. Max and I really like to go down too, to be with you. But we have no idea how. But I'm pretty sure our slugs can help us out of how to get down to Slugterra. Also remember our precious treasures: the amulets. So you will not forget us. Your older brothers-Vert Wheeler and Maxwell McGrath."

After Eli finished reading, he let out some tears and freely rolled down from his cheeks. His slugs comfort him, "I really miss you bros…" Burpy chirps and pointed the end of the letter, "There's more?" Eli looked at the end of the letter and read it.

"P.S. We know you're crying when you read this letter. But just feel happy and smile. That way, you always remember us whenever you're happy and smile."

That made Eli smiled, "Thank you, Vert and Max." Eli muttered before someone knock on his door, "Who is it," he called out, "Eli? Dinner's ready," the voice of Trixie said from the outside of Eli's room, "I'll be right there," Eli replied, he place the envelope and the letter on his desk. Before Eli exit his room, Burpy chirp out loud to grab his attention, "Huh? What is Burpy?" The Infurnus slug pointed the envelope. Eli picked up the envelope and look inside, "What's this?" He took out a picture from the envelope.

Eli was surprise to see himself as a child along with his childhood friends and brothers, including Will and their slugs. Eli smiled and place the picture in the frame then he exit out his room. Banger, Eli's Armashelt, looked at the picture frame, "Who are those two kids?"

"That's Eli's childhood friends and brothers," Burpy explained, "Okay. But who are the slugs?" Doc pointed at the Tazerling, Boon Doc, AquaBeek, and Slicksilver. "The Tazerling is Bolt, Boon Doc is Aid, AquaBeek is Droplet, and Slicksilver is Sliver. They're Vert and Max's slug arsenals." Burpy said, "Wow. They sure have cool names," Chiller, Eli's Frostcrawler, said, "Yep. I wonder how are they doing up there," Burpy said, thinking about his old friends doing okay up in the surface.
