Here we go! Chapter 2!

Chapter 2: The World Beneath Our Feet Pt 2

Previously:

My name is Eli Shane. And yesterday, my brother and I took a drop down to Slugterra. That turned out to be the easy part. Down here, you need to sling slugs to survive. Some new friends got me into a tournament where I can get the slugs I need. Now, all I gotta do is win.

Eli and Harley were climbing up a cliff, below was a lake of molten lava. Pronto climbed behind them. Suddenly, the rock Eli grabbed broke off. "Eli!" Harley called as his brother fell. Eli grabbed Pronto's blaster and swung back to the cliff. Harley sighed in relief. "Thanks, Pronto." Eli said. Pronto smiled as they continued to climb. "Yes. This journey is not so easy." He stated. "Yeah. My brother almost died!" Harley reminded their mole tracker. "4 times! 4!" "And he would have, if not for Pronto and his magnificent tracking skills." Pronto continued to exaggerate. Eli smiled and shook his head, amused. "But, behold: Round 1 of the tournament."

They reached the top and looked on at the sight of dozens of slug slingers training for the tournament. "Cool!" Eli said, looking on. Then Kord popped up. "Hey! What took you so long?" He asked. "Molten lava, razor sharp cliffs and molenoid with a constant need for pitstops." Eli said, blaming Pronto for being so long. "What? My bladders are very small." Pronto said. "Okay, now that I didn't need to hear." Harley said, shuddering.

"Why didn't you just take the road?" Trixie asked. "Wait. There was a road?!" Eli asked in shock, turning his head to the cavern entrance. "Baah! When you're with Pronto, you don't need roads." Pronto assured the brothers. "A good reason to bring me along with you 2, when soon you're both out fighting evil." "All that matters now is you made it." Kord said. "The only question is: who're you gonna duel first?"

Eli looked to all the other slingers. One of them spun his blaster behind his back and over his shoulder and kicked it back up to his belt. Another took aim left and right. 3 more, who looked like they were triplets, loaded their blasters and took aim. Lastly was Jon Bull. He fired a Thresher slug at a training dummy, shredding it's head off. The head rolled towards Eli, who started to get nervous. "Just try not to die. That would be bad." Kord told him. Now Eli got more nervous.


(Intro)


Eli, Harley and Pronto were walking past a lava lake. "Stay close. These lava lakes can be very unpredictable-" Pronto started to say, 'till a lava bubble spewed at them. Eli pulled Pronto out of the way before he got burned. "Ok. That was kinda scary. Also, kinda awesome." Eli stated. "Yeah. What'd they do? Pick the most dangerous cavern they could find?" Harley asked. "Oh, don't be silly. Each round of the tournament is hosted by a different cavern." Pronto explained. "They're probably saving the truly deadly ones for last."

They walked up to Kord. "Hey Kord, what's everybody standing around for?" Harley asked. "Yeah. Shouldn't we be getting ready or something?" Eli added. "That's the thing. They don't announce the match-ups or the type of contest until the last minute." Kord explained. "I have no idea if I need to be preparing for a sharp-shooting contest or a mecha-back duel. It could be anything." 'Wow! Kord is really worried.' Harley thought. "Leave it to me." Pronto stepped up. "I will use my expert skills in persuasion to find out early." Pronto had just left when announcements had just started.

"ATTENTION! The first round of the tournament will be one on one duels!" The host announced as Pronto returned. "Okay. It is one on one duels." Pronto whispered. "Yeah. We know. But thanks for the tip, Pronto." Eli said. "My pleasure. Anything to give you the edge my friend." Pronto said. Harley shook his head in amusement.

On separate edges of a lava lake, Eli prepared to face his opponent, a slinger named Jacques. "DUEL!" Jacques drew his blaster, firing an AquaBeek slug. The slug transformed and fired its Aquajet at Eli, sending Eli off the cliff. Burpy flew out of his barrel and into the lava. Eli grabbed a rock dangling on the wall and looked at the lava. "Burpy." He said, with he, Joules and Noodle looking worried. Burpy then popped up from the lava, ok. "Maybe you could have mentioned that hot lava won't hurt you." Eli said a wee bit annoyed.

Jacques walked to the cliff's edge. "Now I got ya! I saved the best for last." He said as he loaded a Thresher into his blaster. Burpy jumped into Eli's blaster and Eli fired him straight upwards, throwing Jacques backwards. Eli climbed back up, caught Burpy in another barrel and reloaded him into his blaster. "So did I." He said, aiming his blaster at Jacques, who held up his hands in surrender.

The host declared Eli the winner and urged him to pick a slug from Jacques. "Now, I know which one you're gonna take." Jacques said, holding the barrel with his Thresher slug. "It sure was sweet knowing you." The Thresher looked just as upset. "Your Thresher slug's great, but c'mon, I can't take him. I'd know how I'd feel if someone took Burpy from me." Eli said, being a good sport. Jacques and the Thresher were pleased to hear that. Eli then looked to another slug. "You're an Armashelt, aren't you?" He asked. Said slug smiled proudly. "I could use a cannonball when I'm out helping people and kicking evil's butt. Whaddaya say?" The Armashelt hopped into Eli's hand with interest. Burpy waved while Joules and Noodle smiled happily. "Think I'll call you…Banger. That ok with you?" He asked his new slug. Banger smiled.

Eli shook hands with Jacques as Harley ran up to him. "Nice win, bro!" He said, giving a hi-five. "So, not too bad for my first official match, huh Pronto?" Eli asked Pronto, just noticing he was gone. "Pronto?" The brothers looked to another match going on. Pronto was there eating a sandwich. "Hey, there you are!" Eli said walking up to the mole. "Ok! Yes! I am here! But, certainly was not to find a new job if you lost." Pronto said, trying to cover his intentions. Eli and Harley looked at him with smiles, seeing through his bluff as Banger made his appearance known to the molenoid. "But I can see from the look on your face that you are victorious. So, let us not have anymore of these accusations." Pronto went to sipping his drink.

Jon Bull was about to end his match. He fired 2 slugs while his opponent fired a Hop Rock. The Hop Rock collided with a Thresher while a Frostcrawler put the other slinger in a Deepfreeze attack. Bull then fired a Rammstone at him and bashed him into the wall, making Jon Bull the winner. As he walked into the crowd, he noticed the Shane brothers. Eli tried to congratulate him, but Harley held him back, remembering what Trixie said. Jon Bull bumped past them, making Pronto drop his food and fall to the ground. "Did Pronto mention how happy he is that you won?" He asked in a daze.

Trixie went up against a guy known as the King of Sling. King fired a Rammstone at Trixie, who side-flipped out of the way and fired a Thresher. King countered by firing a Hop Rock, which headbutted the Thresher and bashed into Trixie as she loaded another slug. "Now bow down before the majesty of the King of Sling!" The King shouted, thinking he won. But Trixie fired an Arachnet slug, which fired a web net at King's face. "That's for your yapping." Trixie said, firing a Tormato. The Tormato trapped King in a Slyphoon, making him dizzy. "That's for your flapping." Trixie then fired a Rammstone at his legs, knocking him down. "And that one wins me the duel." The host declared Trixie the winner.

Eli and Harley watched as Trixie won. "Cool." Eli said. The brothers heard Kord grunting. "Though not everyone was so lucky." Harley added, thinking Kord lost. "Totally." Kord said, suddenly putting on a victorious game face. "You should see the dude I just hammered!"


At Blakk's fortress, Dr. Blakk was about to do an experiment on a Hop Rock when Maurice walked in and called. "Dr. Blakk!" Blakk groaned. "Maurice, what have I told you about interrupting me while I work?" He asked, annoyed. "It's about that slug slinging tournament." Maurice said. "And I should care because…?" Blakk asked, not caring. "The Shane kids. The one named Eli is still in it. According to my guy, he might actually be good. Maybe the other kid too." Maurice explained. Blakk just stared off. "You don't think they'll be a problem, do you?" Blakk just laughed. "In 10 years perhaps." He answered. "But you still want me to keep an eye on them, right boss?" Maurice asked. "Leave." Blakk ordered seriously. "I'll take that as a yes." Maurice walked away as Blakk continued his experiment.


Meanwhile, Eli, Harley and their new friends were traveling towards the cavern hosting the next round of the tournament. "Come on, dudes! And dudette." Kord yelled as they rode their mecha beasts. "Floor it! We're only halfway to Rocklock Cavern and the next round is starting in less than an hour!" Eli looked to Kord. "Hey! We've been meaning to ask you: the cave trolls are like the best engineers, right?" He asked. "Well, I don't wanna brag." Kord blushed. "So, why did you become a slug slinger?" Harley asked. "My clan wanted me to go into the family business. A lot of the passageways we use today were built by my people." Kord explained. "But, turns out that slinging slugs is a whole lot more fun than busting rocks." "Yes, yes, yes." Pronto interrupted. "I of course come from a long, proud line of molenoid explorers." Eli turned to Trixie. "What about you, Trixie?" He curiously asked the girl he liked. "Not much to say." She explained. "I was tired of seeing bad people ride into my home cavern to cause trouble. Without a Shane around, somebody had to do something. I was the only one who wanted to fight back. That's why I partially make my videos, to show people what's been happening in Slugterra. Good and Bad."

"Tracking however, is the molenoid's greatest skills." Pronto said. "Speaking of that, where exactly are we, Pronto?" Harley asked. "Oh, just a little shortcut I know about." Pronto boasted. Trixie recognized some markings on some rocks. "Those are Shadow Clan markings! Is this one of their trails?!" She asked. "Yes. At one point it was. But they haven't been here in years." Pronto assured them. They skidded to a stop to see what was in front of them: The Shadow Clan. "Well guess what? I think they've made a comeback." Trixie deduced. "The Shadow Clan? We've always wanted to see one." Eli said. "Usually, if you get close enough to see one…" Trixie said. "It's the last thing you'll see." Kord finished. "So, what do we do?" Harley asked as the Shadow Clan came closer. "RUN!" Pronto screamed. Trixie, Kord and Pronto ran back to the exit, while Eli and Harley ran towards them. "Eli, Harley, he meant run away!" Trixie yelled. "You guys go on! We'll try and distract them!" Eli said. The Shane brothers lead the Shadow Clan deeper into their trail, until the brothers were cut off. "This was a bad idea." Eli admitted.

Trixie, Pronto and Kord made it back outside. "Uh, do we go in and get them?" Kord asked in concern. Eli and Harley rode as fast as Lucky could go, back to the exit. The Shadow Clan started throwing Hop Rocks at them. "Light em up, Burpy." Eli said, firing Burpy at the Shadow Clan, creating a fire wall. As they got to the exit, the group continued to Rocklong Cavern. Trixie rode up to the brothers. "What were you 2 thinking?!" She asked. "We don't know what we were thinking. Our dad always talked about them like they were no big deal!" Eli said. "Yeah! He said he ran into them all the time when he was patrolling the caverns." Harley added. "Yeah, but your dad was Will Shane! You 2 are just crazy!" Trixie said. "I'll take that as a compliment." Eli said, blushing.


The 5 finally reached the cavern. "Rocklock Cavern. They better have something good for this round." Kord said intrigued. "This next round will feature 3 on 3 duels! Choose your partners!" The host announced. Eli turned to Trixie and Kord. "Whaddaya say?" Eli asked. Trixie and Kord looked concerned. "Aw come on! What's the worst that could happen?"

Eli got his answer. He got nailed by a triple Rammstone attack. Trixie and Kord fired back. "Don't just sit there! Get some cover!" Kord said, pulling Eli behind a rock. They were dueling the triplets from earlier. "Who are these guys anyway?" Eli asked. "These 3 are the Powers Triplets aka the Power Trips. They've been training together since they were born." Trixie explained as the Trips reloaded. "It's like they know what the other's gonna do before they even do it." The Trips fired 3 Hop Rocks at once, destroying the rock Eli's team was using for cover, sending them running. The Trips reloaded and gave chase.

Pronto and Harley watched from above. "Ah, enjoying the match I see." Pronto said to some spectators. "You know, he maybe Will Shane's son, but Pronto taught him everything he knows." 'Liar.' Harley thought looking at the fibbing molenoid. Eli loaded Joules and prepared to fire. The Trips 3 Flaringos and threw Eli off his aim, sending Joules into Pronto's drink. "Except for that." The Trips fired more Flaringos and Eli ducked out of the way. "Or that." Harley looked worried for his brother.

The Trips saw their chance. "Slug him again, brother." The middle Trip said. "Yes, sister." Said the right one. "Whoa! Wait!" Eli said as he rolled over. "One of those dudes is a girl?" The Trips fired 3 more Hop Rocks at Eli, who dove into the rock pillars with Kord and Trixie for cover. Eli came up with an idea. "We need to be working together like they do." He said. "Show me your slugs." Kord held out his Rammstone and Phosphoro. Trixie had an Arachnet and Frostcrawler. "Kord, you'll sling that Phosphoro, Trixie, we'll need your Arachnet, then we'll see what Banger can do." He planned, holding up his new Armashelt. Kord felt unsure. "It takes weeks to bond with a new slug, Eli. Sometimes months." He said. Trixie felt the same. "You can shoot it, sure. But to pull off a complicated move, there's no way a slug you just won will just do exactly what you want it to do." She said. "Hey, I maybe new at this, but I know when a new slug has bonded with you." Eli assured his friends. Banger nodded. The Trips were closing in. "Kord, you draw them out. Then we fire on my signal. Go!" Eli called. Kord ran from behind the rocks, catching the Trips attention. "Here goes nothing!" He said. "There, brothers." The Trips fired 3 more Hop Rocks at Kord, who ducked behind another rock.

Eli moved into position, seeing the Trips were right where he wanted them. "NOW!" He signaled. Kord fired his Phosphoro, blinding the Trips. Then, Trixie fired her Arachnet, trapping them in its web. Finally, Eli fired Banger at some rock spikes on the top, breaking them loose and dropping them around the Trips, trapping them. Pronto looked on. "Aha! You see? One of my signature moves." He exaggerated. Harley huffed with a smile. The host declared Eli's team the winners. "High five!" Eli said, holding his hand up. Kord just looked confused. "Hey, come on, you're leaving me hangin' here." Eli said, until he put his hand down. "Ok. Maybe later." Trixie walked past him. "Good. Cause we've got to get going to the next round." She said. Eli started to follow.

Back in Blakk's cavern, Blakk and Maurice were preparing to leave on Blakk's personal express train. "You had better be right about this, Maurice." He said as he placed a little cage on his desk and sat in his chair. "My time is voracious." Maurice called the train driver. "Western Caverns, driver. Dr. Blakk wants to watch the slug match." He ordered. "Let's see what these new Shanes have to say for themselves." Blakk said intrigued. The train began to move towards the Western Caverns.

Meanwhile, Eli had been winning tournament rounds back to back, winning new slugs for his team and earning a growing reputation. By then Eli made his way up to the finals. Trixie went up to Eli, who was looking over his new slugs, to congratulate him. "That's great Eli. Congrats!" She said. "Thanks." Eli said. Both Eli and Trixie were now blushing at each other. "I just heard." Kord said walking over, looking all banged up. "I'm sorry, bro." Eli seemed confused. "Um, no I won. I'm in the finals!" He said. "Yeah. Against Jon Bull." Kord revealed. "Look what he did to me. But bro, you don't have the skills and not to mention the body mass to take on his rammers. I'm sorry to say it but, that guy's gonna crush you." Eli looked at the screen in possible nervous determination to beat his final opponent.

Eli, Harley and their friends made their way to the final cavern, where the crowd was rooting for Eli. "Eli Shane is not signing any autographs." Pronto said, acting like he's Eli's agent. "Pronto however, has several poses available." Then a loud whistle noise erupted from the crowd. Blakk's train pulled up. "The Slugterran Express?" Kord asked in surprise. "And it's not just carrying any passenger." Trixie said as Blakk stepped out. "Dr. Blakk! Why would he be here?" Kord asked curiously. Blakk looked to the crowd. "Which of you are Eli and Harley Shane?" He asked. Everyone looked to the brothers, who looked at Blakk confused while Burpy growled.

Blakk slowly walked past the crowd, towards Eli and Harley. Burpy growled. "It's ok, Burp." Eli said, trying to calm his slug. "Who is that guy?" Harley asked. "Dr. Thaddius Blakk. Your dad never mentioned him?" Kord asked. "People say he was the last one to see him alive." Trixie explained. "What your friends say is true." Blakk said. "Will Shane, was a true hero. I owe my life to him in fact." Eli and Harley raised their eyebrows. "Let's find a place to talk, shall we?" Eli looked to his friends. "My friends are coming with us." He said. "By all means." Blakk said, allowing Eli's terms before walking back to the train. "It's ok, guys. We're just gonna talk." Eli assured his friends before following Blakk. Harley looked at Blakk. 'I have a bad feeling about this guy.' He thought.


Blakk showed his guests the wonders of his express train. "A small perk of owning the main line of transportation, is that one gets to travel in a certain style." Blakk explained, noticing Pronto just sat down in his personal chair. "Oh! So soft like an ancient whisper." Pronto said, feeling comfortable, until Maurice yanked him out of the chair.

"So, Will Shane had 2 sons." Blakk said, taking a seat. "I'm not surprised. The Shanes and their secrets." "You were our dad's friend?" Harley asked, looking oddly at this man. Blakk just stared. "Friend. Not exactly. Your father and I had our differences." He explained. Maurice walked over, setting the small cage on Blakk's desk. "You 2 and I have a chance to start fresh. Perhaps someday, even work together." Eli and Harley looked on, not liking the look in Blakks eyes. "I'm told you both are a little short on slugs. Consider this one, a gift." He turned the cage to the group, revealing the same mutant Tormato slug he used against Will Shane.

The 5 flinched at the sight of such a creature. "What happened to that slug?!" Trixie asked in shock. "Why, I improved it, young lady." Blakk explained. "I'll admit, my first few attempts were unpredictable. But now: perfection." "That's not perfection!" Eli objected as the others glared. "You turned it into some kind of ghoul!" "Ghoul?" Blakk chuckled at the name. "I like that." Joules, Noodle and Banger growled from in their barrels. "You can't do that to slugs. They're the key to everything here." Eli said. "Yeah you could destroy Slugterra." Harley finished. Blakk looked at them. "I seem to have heard that once before." He said, remembering Will said those exact words before. "I suppose it was silly of me to think that a Shane would accept it. We're done." Eli, Harley and their friends began to walk away.

"Here in this little contest, you may think you 2 are the heroes, but out in the real world, Eli and Harley Shane, stay out of my way." Blakk said to the brothers, like a threat. Burpy chittered angrily, making Eli turn around. "We don't know who you are, but our slug seems to. And he doesn't like you. We don't either." Eli said. "Me and Harley are gonna be the new Shanes. Better get used to it." Eli exited the train. "Their just kids, boss. Shouldn't be any trouble." Maurice assured his boss. "But their also Shanes." Blakk explained. "And when the people have at least one Shane to get behind, that can be very bad for business."


Dr. Blakk walked up to Jon Bull, polishing his blaster. Blakk cleared his throat, getting Bull's attention. "Dr. Blakk! What do you want?" Bull asked, standing up. "To see you win today." Blakk said. "I'm dueling a kid." Bull assured him. "You're dueling a Shane." Blakk corrected him. "Never underestimate a Shane." Blakk handed Bull a red slug barrel containing the ghoul. Bull looked at it disgusted. "Well I don't need your ugly slugs." He tossed the ghoul back to Blakk and began to walk away. "You know who I am." Blakk said, stopping him. "You know what I'm capable of. You'll use it against the Shane boy." Blakk gave the ghoul back to Bull and walked away.

It was time for the final duel. Eli and Bull took their positions. Trixie, Kord, Harley and Pronto popped up to watch. "Must be nice being Daddy's boys and having everything handed to you and your brother." Bull insulted, loading his first slug. Eli loaded his first slug too. "Wouldn't know. Our dad's been gone for a long time. And no one handed me THIS!" He shot back, firing Noodle from his blaster, while Bull fired a Hop Rock. The Hop Rock whacked Noodle away with it's tail and headed right for Eli. Eli ducked out of the way, as his friends and brother watched. "Bro! Less talking! More remembering what I taught you!" Kord advised Eli. "And what was that again?" Eli asked, getting up. "DON'T TALK WHEN YOU SHOULD BE BLASTING!" Kord shrieked.

Bull fired another Hop Rock. Eli moved aside on the ground and fired Banger. Bull slipped aside and fired another Hop Rock. Eli back flipped from a rock, avoiding the slug, and fired his new Polero slug, named Bolo, at Bull's legs, wrapping around them, making him fall and firing another Hop Rock at the sky. The crowd cheered. Bull got up and fired a Rammstone. Eli side flipped out of the way and fired Joules when he landed. Joules fired her Tazerbolt at Bull, shocking him. Eli then fired his own Rammstone, whom he calls Rammer, at Bull, punching him into the rocks.

Bull was now getting extremely mad. "THAT'S IT!" He yelled. The crowd all started cheering for Eli. "Come on, Eli!" Trixie cheered. "Final blow, bro!" Harley cheered. Bull looked up to see Dr. Blakk who nodded at him. Bull looked down to the ghoul on his belt. Knowing what he had to do, he loaded the ghoul into his blaster. Eli looked to Burpy in his barrel. "Last shot, Burpy." He said. Burpy nodded as he was loaded into the blaster. "Make it count." Eli said, aiming his blaster. Bull prepared his ghoul for firing.

Harley saw from afar at what Bull was using. "The ghoul!" He gasped. Without thinking twice, he ran over to the host. "Hey, Harley! Where are you going?" Kord asked, noticing him leaving.

Eli fired Burpy and Bull fired the ghoul. As they both transformed, Burpy gasped at what was coming at him. When they collided with each other, the ghoul grabbed Burpy, spinning him around in a dark cyclone which sent both Burpy and Eli flying backwards. Everyone looked on in shock at what happened. Bull looked at the ghoul, amazed at the power, which made Blakk smile.

Bull was thought to have won. "DISQUALLIFIED!" The host suddenly called. Bull was shocked to hear this. "What?! How am I disqualified?!" Bull called as the host stepped down with Harley beside him. "This young Shane here informed me that all of that was because you used something called a ghoul slug." The host explained. Bull glared at Harley, who was helping Eli stand up. The ghoul hopped over to Bull. "Yeah! Okay! I admit it!" Bull yelled, picking up the ghoul. "I used one of these." Eli stepped forth. "That's the ghoul!" He pointed recognizing the ghoul. "Blakk gave it to you, didn't he?!"

The host glared at Bull. "Jon Bull, for using a tainted slug against your opponent, you are hereby banned from any further slug slinging tournaments!" He declared. Bull's other slugs hopped out of their barrels and hopped away. "Yeah, who cares? Get lost! I don't need you." Bull called after his former slugs. "And there's plenty more where this came from. I'm joining Dr. Blakk!" The ghoul smiled wickedly. Blakk was pleased to see the progress of his work and that Bull was joining him as he walked away. Trixie, Kord and Pronto looked on at what just happened.


"If you both choose to follow in my footsteps, Eli and Harley, it'll be up to you 2 to protect Slugterra from all kinds of dangers. You 2 are Shanes. You both have good hearts. And whatever you both choose, I'm proud of you boys."

Eli and Harley sat near a cliff as they finished reading their father's letter. Burpy hopped on Eli's shoulder. "Harley, you know as I do that we've waited our whole lives to sling slugs and be Shanes, right?" Eli asked, feeling down. Harley nodded. "Well, I'd just thought that we'd be doing it with our dad." "I know what you're saying Eli." Harley said as they got up. "Well, now we're gonna have to find a way to do it by ourselves." Eli finished. "Well, not completely by yourselves." Pronto's voice suddenly came from behind them. "You 2 will have Pronto to guide you on your journey." Kord then rode up. "And I'll make sure you get there, buds" He said. "I've got your backs." Eli and Harley smiled. "And I'll spread the word across Slugterra." Trixie said, coming up. "Everyone will learn that the Shanes have returned." Eli and Harley looked to each other, thinking. "It could be dangerous." Eli warned them. "We laugh at danger." Kord said, not changing his mind. "Most of the time, we're gonna be making it up as we go." Eli continued. "Ha! That's how I live each day." Pronto said, taking a drink. "I can believe that." Harley muttered in amusement. "We're gonna go after Dr. Blakk. Whatever those ghouls are, we have to stop him from making more." Eli finished. Harley smiled and Burpy nodded. "Thought you'd never ask." Trixie said with a wink.

The brothers looked proudly at their friend's bravery. "Alright! Then we'll be the new Shane Gang." Eli said. "Shane Gang, huh?" Harley noted on Eli's choice in group name. "I like it." "Good. Now, where do we start?" Eli asked "SOMEONE! HELP!" A voice called as an explosion gave off in the distance. The gang loaded their blasters. "Guess that answers that." Eli said, hopping on Lucky with Harley. "Let's ride!" The Shane Gang soon rode off to help.

To be continued…

Second chapter is complete. The Shane Gang is formed and ready for battle. I felt that Jon Bull should've been disqualified for using a ghoul. I'm not gonna reveal who I'm putting on my Shane Gang yet, but let's just say: it's a surprise. The name, Rammer, for Eli's Rammstone was my idea. I know that Eli used an Arachnet and a Hop Rock against Bull, but I switched them with Banger and Noodle.

Slug Arsenal:

Eli Shane: Burpy (Infurnus), Joules (Tazerling), Noodle (Flopper), Banger (Armashelt), Bolo (Polero), Rammer (Rammstone)

Harley Shane: Matchstick (Flaringo), Squirm (Flopper)

Names for Trixie, Kord and Pronto's slugs will be revealed in the next chapter.
