Chapter 3 is up! But I'll tell you, it's not my favorite. Even on the show, I didn't like it. But, had to happen eventually. I only own my OCs, not all of Slugterra. Enjoy!
Chapter 3: The Trade
Deep in Dark Spores Cavern, a once respected slinger named CC, was dueling another slinger, using ghouls. Others were watching in fear. As the other guy recovered from an Amperling ghoul, CC stepped forth. "Who's next?" He called. He looked around for a challenger. Everyone continued hiding in fear. "Come on. You mean to tell me that not one of you is up for a 'friendly' duel?" CC loaded a special scope onto his blaster. "You're not afraid of these, are you? Their just slugs." He referred to the ghouls he was equipped with.
"Wrong!" Eli's voice called as he, Harley, Trixie, Pronto and Kord showed up. "Those aren't just slugs. Their ghouls." Eli continued. "Well, if it isn't the new Shanes, come to save the day." CC said, unimpressed. "I was wondering when you would show up." Eli walked closer. "Those ghouls aren't welcome here. And neither are you." He said, pulling up his blaster. Burpy chirped madly at CC. Pronto, Trixie and Kord readied their blasters. Harley pulled out a handmade slingshot and loaded Matchstick. "5 against 1. Not exactly a fair fight." CC pointed out. "Rules went out the window when you pledged allegiance to Blakk, CC." Trixie countered. "Then we'll just have to level the playing field." CC said, loading a Tempesto ghoul. "And then, I'll level the 5 of you!"
(Intro)
The Shane Gang and CC continued their little standoff. "Last chance, CC. Are you gonna go quietly or is this gonna get loud?" Eli said. "Really?" Trixie asked, regarding Eli's one-liner. Eli blushed and shrugged. "Give him a break, Trixie. He's still figuring out this hero thing" Kord teased. "Oh, leave Eli alone you guys. He's got this." Harley defended.
CC fired his Tempesto. The Shane Gang followed with their own slugs: Eli fired his new Hop Rock, Rocky. Kord fired his Rammstone, Bludgeon. Trixie fired her Frostcrawler, Blizzard. Pronto fired his Jellyish, Slimey. And Harley fired Matchstick. The Tempesto transformed and blasted the slugs with Revector, sending them back. CC smiled as Trixie, Pronto and Harley were caught in the blast. Eli was also caught, but Kord caught him, digging in his feet against the attack. Eli fired Joules at the Tempesto. Joules tried to push forward against the wind, but the ghoul gave more power and sent Joules back at Eli and Kord, shocking them both and sending them back as the ghoul transformed back.
Eli and Kord got up, dazed from the attack. "Ha! You're in over your heads!" CC called, taking off the scope. "Try not to lose them!" He fired a Thrasher ghoul. Eli moved aside and fired Rammer. CC placed a booster barrel on his blaster and fired a Grimmstone ghoul. The ghoul uppercutted Rammer first. CC fired another ghoul as Eli ducked behind the rocks. "Minor setback." Eli tried to keep cool. CC fired a Hop Jack ghoul, destroying half of their cover. "No big deal." Eli added. "Did you see the boosters he had for his gear?" Trixie asked. "And he's slinging ghouls. We've got no match for that!" The gang continued their assault on CC. "Yeah, bro. You're the only one of us whose ever faced one! And that didn't really go so well. Remember?!" Kord said, recalling Eli's duel with Jon Bull. "Hey! Need I remind you that I got the guy who used that ghoul disqualified?!" Harley reminded Kord. "If you guys are trying to psyche me up for this fight…" Eli said, enduring CC's ghoul attacks. "…it's not really working. But, don't worry, I have an idea."
Eli looked over to CC, who removed his barrel booster and placed the scope back on. Eli and Kord fired 2 more slugs. CC dodged them and fired another ghoul. Eli took cover behind the rocks Trixie and Pronto were covered by. Eli took Stinky's barrel from Pronto. "May I?" Eli asked. "Oh, uh, by all means." Pronto allowed, confused. Eli loaded Stinky into his blaster "Eli, that's just a stinker. It'll be useless against a ghoul." Trixie tried to warn Eli. "Which is exactly why he'll never see this coming." Eli told her. Trixie smiled, knowing what Eli was planning.
Eli charged in, firing Stinky. CC countered by firing a Frostfang ghoul, which created an ice wall, bouncing Stinky back at Eli. Stinky transformed and hit Eli, wrapping him in a stinky cloud. Eli got on his knees, disgusted by the smell. "Oh! That is so foul!" He got out. CC aimed his blaster at Eli. "And dumb! You had to know I was gonna knock it right back at ya." CC said. "That was the idea." Eli said with a smirk.
Before CC knew it, Trixie, Kord, Harley and Pronto flanked him on all sides. "The way I see it, you have 2 choices: take a cheap shot on me, in which case my brother and friends open fire, or you walk away. What's it gonna be?" Eli asked. CC smiled and put away his blaster, knowing he was beaten. "Clever move, kid." He admitted. He then whistled for his ghouls. "You know, you're gonna stink for weeks." He said, acknowledging the smell. "Oh, it was worth it." Eli admitted. "Speak for yourself!" Kord said, covering his nose. "Yeah, bro. It's gonna be hard to live with that stink." Harley added.
Trixie looked at CC. "You used to be a respected slug slinger. What happened to you?" She asked. "I saw an opportunity and I took it." CC said, whistling. A yellow horse mecha galloped up to him. "And I'm not the only one signing on with Dr. Blakk." He continued as he got on his mecha. "2 new Shanes maybe back, but you're not gonna make one bit a difference against Dr. Blakk and his ghouls. Oh, and uh, how's that Shane hideout working for ya?" He asked with a smirk. "Settling in?" Eli raised an eyebrow. "What are you getting at, CC?" He asked. "Oh, nothing." CC answered. "Except maybe while I was out here entertaining these fine citizens, a few of my associates did a little redecorating for you." The gang looked confused. "Consider it a housewarming present from the guy who gave me these." CC added, pointing to his ghouls.
It wasn't 'til after CC rode away did Eli realize. "The hideout!" The gang zipped to get back.
When they got back, the whole place was totally trashed. "This is so not cool." Eli said as they looked around. Mirrors were broken, slug dishes were smashed and everything had been scorched. Pronto was happy though. "Good news! My collection of glass figurines has been spared." He said, until the glass mole fell apart. Pronto gasped in upsetting shock. "I vow vengeance! VENGEANCE!" He yelled. "Dr. Blakk did this to send us a message. He's gonna learn the Shane Gang doesn't rattle so easy." Eli said. "My thoughts exactly, Eli." Harley said. "So, what's the plan?" Trixie asked. "We're gonna send Blakk a little message of our own." Eli explained. "But first: we're gonna replace all the stuff we lost." That perked up Kord. "You know what that means!" Kord said excitedly. "We're going to-"
"-Barton & Spinks!" The Shane Gang entered the shop, getting a look at the merchandise. "Wow! I don't even know where to start!" Eli said in amazement. "I know!" Kord agreed. "They've got everything from furniture to blaster upgrades! You can even get custom parts for your mecha beasts!" Eli stepped out from behind Kord. "Kord, you're the gear expert. Think you can set us up with replacements for what got trashed?" Kord cracked his neck. "Definitely."
The gang purchased 3 boxes of stuff. "That ought to do it. Should replace all the stuff we lost." Kord assured. "Plus, a few upgrades. You know, to help us get our point across." Eli got concerned about something. "Just one question: do we have enough gold to pay for this?" The owner, Spinks, walked up to the counter. "No gold. Only slugs." Eli and Harley's eyes widen from what he just said. "You got some good ones here." He said, reaching for Joules. Eli grabbed his hand. "Nuh-uh! No way!" Eli rejected. "We're not buying groceries, Eli. You want something valuable, you have to trade something valuable in return." Kord explained. Eli looked at the stuff they were buying. "We don't really need all this stuff, do we?" He asked, tossing a big mole toy away. Pronto caught it and glared. "I'd rather keep the slugs." "And what about Blakk?" Trixie asked. "What about him?" Harley asked, getting upset. "Well, he's already got an advantage with his ghouls. We can't afford not to have the best gear." Trixie said as Pronto put the toy back in the box. "But what good is having the best gear if we have to trade one of our teammates?" Harley asked, now really upset. "Harley's right. These guys are my team!" Eli said, looking at his slugs. "I'm really starting to get to know them." Pronto popped. "You see?! That is why you never get friendly with the ammo!" He said, really annoyed with Eli's friendly attitude with the slugs. "HEY!" Harley yelled, pushing Pronto to a corner. "Slugs are more than ammo to me and Eli for your information-"
As Harley and Pronto continued to argue amongst themselves, Trixie put a hand on Eli's shoulder, trying to comfort him. "I know how much your slugs mean to you, Eli. But sometimes you just have to make a trade." She explained, moving her hand down to his. "We all do it." Kord nodded. "I'm not happy about this!" Eli said in defeat, taking Joules's barrel. Joules popped up to say goodbye. "You've been a great slug, Joules. But we really need the gear." Eli said sadly. Joules chittered, understanding the consequences.
Spinks pointed Eli over to a computer. Eli walked over to it and Joules hopped on to it. The computer scanned her and gave a ding. Spinks looked at the data. "Wow!" He said, looking impressed. He cleared his throat and looked back at Eli. "It'll do. I think we have a deal." He said, accepting the trade. Eli looked at Joules sadly. "Whoever you end up with, they'll take good care of you." He assured her. Joules understood. Eli gave her one last pet of the head before leaving with the others. "Maybe I'll see you again." He said, walking out. Spinks picked up Joules. "Not likely, kid." He said sinisterly. He dropped Joules into a barrel and she dropped into a tunnel. She was having fun, until she saw where she was going.
The Shane Gang, wielding a trailer loaded with the gear they bought, were passing through a scary looking cavern. "Nightmare Ridge." Pronto whispered. "We must use caution." Eli stopped, thinking about Joules, regretting his decision. "Everyone, I've been thinking." Eli said. "About the wonders of me, no doubt." Pronto wrongfully guessed. 'In you dreams, dirt for brains.' Harley thought. "We made a mistake." Eli announced. Pronto then got mad. "You doubt the navigational skills of the Great Pronto?!" He asked. "I'm talking about Joules." Eli corrected Pronto. "We should never have made that trade." "Although your skills are a minor exception." Harley teased Pronto, making him growl.
"I thought we went over this." Kord said, a little annoyed. "You wanna stop Blakk? Then you need the best gear. And to get the best gear, sometimes you've gotta give up a slug or 2." Eli made up his mind. "I don't care, Kord. We have to go back and get her." He said, turning Lucky around. "Ok, what is it with you 2 and the slugs?" "Something you 3 wouldn't understand." Harley said, jumping from the cart and onto Lucky, going with Eli. The 3 looked shocked at what Harley just said but decided to go with the brothers anyway.
Eli tried to return the gear for Joules, but Spinks said she was gone. "What do you mean 'gone'?" Eli asked. "We were here an hour ago." "What can I say, kid? It's been traded." Spinks said. "If you want a refund, I've got a pair of Floppers." He placed a cage with a couple of sick Floppers on the counter. "Pass. I want Joules back." Eli said, being serious. "Sorry kid. She's gone!" Spinks said again, closing up.
"Well, we tried." Pronto said, trying to leave. "Not so fast, Pronto!" Eli said. "That shopkeeper was hiding something. I'm gonna find out what!" Trixie looked intrigued. "A comspiracy?! Oh yes!" She said, pulling out her camera.
The camera was focused on Pronto, sneaking up to the back door. "Stand aside! This takes great skill and a delicate touch." Pronto said into the camera. Kord then pushed Pronto out of the way and kicked the door open. "Well, I've could've done that!" Pronto said annoyed as the gang walked in. "Whoa!" Kord said. The room was full of slugs in cages. "There must be hundreds!" Trixie whispered, still filming. "What are they all doing down here?" As Eli looked for Joules, he noticed the scared look on the slugs.
Then they heard a garage door opening. Eli hid behind a crate to see what was happening. "Business has been slow. But, there's still a lot of first-rate slugs in here." Spinks was heard, talking to someone. "Powerful ones with lots of training." Eli saw Joules in the cage. Joules got a happy look, noticing Eli. Eli motioned her to keep quiet and she winked, understanding, then glared at who Spinks was dealing with. "Just how Dr. Blakk likes." The man didn't even look like a man. He looked like some kind of demon. "Load them up." The demon man ordered, walking out. Spinks nervously followed him out.
Trixie got everything on camera. "Dr. Blakk is behind this!" She whispered. "And I'll bet he's planning on turning those slugs into ghouls." Kord said. Eli turned his game face on. "Yeah? Well, he's not getting Joules or any of these slugs." He said. Joules chittered, happy to see Eli. "Shh! We're getting you out of here, Joules." Eli whispered. He was about to free Joules, when he got held at the barrel of a blaster. "That does not belong to you." The demon said, holding the blaster. "Says who?!" Eli asked. "Dr. Blakk." The demon answered. "Well I don't see him here right now and there are way more of us then there are of you!" Eli said as Kord, Trixie, Pronto and Harley took aim from all sides. "Hello, ugly." Harley muttered. The demon just smirked. "Who are you anyway?" Eli asked. "They call me El Diablos Nacho." The demon, now known as Nacho, answered. "Alright, Nacho, there are 2 ways this can go down-"
Nacho fired a Dark Urchin ghoul, interrupting Eli. The ghoul fired its quills at everybody, making them duck for cover. "Okay, 3!" Eli said, scared at what happened. Kord, Trixie and Harley rallied around to Eli. Eil, Trixie and Kord fired Rocky, Blizzard and Bludgeon straight towards Nacho. Nacho slammed down Blizzard, evaded Rocky and uppercutted Bludgeon, then he fired a Jollyfist ghoul, trapping the gang in a tar like substance. "I CAN'T FEEL MY LEGS!" Pronto yelled. "That's because you're grabbing mine!" Trixie scolded. Pronto felt around the mess 'til he found his legs. "Ah. That's better." He said in relief. "Oh! This is way worse than Stinky's gas!" Harley groaned. "Ok. So, you got us. What happens now?" Eli asked. Nacho picked up Joules cage at stared at her with a sneer. "It's ok Joules! We won't let them take you!" Eli assured his slug.
But they did take Joules. Nacho and several Blakk soldiers loaded all of the slugs into their transport. Nacho glared at Spinks for a moment 'til he walked back to the transport. Spinks glared back as the transport drove away, then looked at his back door.
Spinks sprayed the tar substance, freeing the Shane Gang. Eli was not happy. "How can you do business with Dr. Blakk?!" He asked angrily. "A lot of people do kid. He makes it hard to say no." Spinks explained. "Besides their just slugs." That got Harley so mad, he punched Spinks, cracking his goggles and giving him a nose bleed. "Don't ever say that again!" He muttered close enough for Spinks to hear as his nose dripped blood. Trixie, Kord and Pronto were surprised at Harley, who stepped back taking a deep breath. Eli patted his brother's shoulder. "You don't have any idea what he's doing with them, do you?" He asked. "And I don't think I want to." Spinks said, walking off, holding his nose. "We're gonna get Joules and the rest of those slugs too." Eli said, turning to his friends. "I'm not gonna let Blakk turn them into ghouls." Harley stood next to Eli. "Neither am I." He said. "You both realize that means going to Blakk's citadel." Trixie said, knowing the danger. "We said we wanted to send him a message. Now we can hand deliver it." Eli said. Trixie, Kord and Pronto nodded. Burpy and Rammer cheered from their barrels. Eli and Harley smiled to each other.
Outside Blakk's citadel, Eli and Harley went up to the main entrance while the other 3 crept around back. Eli pushed a button on a video lock and a man's face appeared on the screen. "Who're you 2?" The man asked. "Eli and Harley Shane. We're here to see Dr. Blakk." Eli explained. "Wait here." As the Shane brothers waited, Pronto was digging a tunnel into the citadel. "Ok, follow me." He whispered. Kord jumped into the hole, getting stuck for a second. "Easy for you to say." He said as Trixie pushed him in before following herself.
The man led Eli and Harley to Blakk's throne room. "In there." He pointed. Eli and Harley walked inside, noticing Maurice standing beside a work table. "Where's Blakk?!" Eli asked. "Indisposed. What can I do for you?" Maurice asked, hoping to keep Blakk's guest entertained. "For starters: I want my slug back!" Eli demanded. Maurice just shook his head, chuckled and smiled.
Meanwhile, Blakk was having a meeting with some rouge slug slingers. Among the crowd were Shockwire, the Power Trips and the slug cart robber. Jon Bull and CC were there too, but at Blakk's side. "What I'm asking of you is so little compared to what I'm offering. Your loyalty and service in exchange for the most powerful weapon Slugterra has ever seen." Blakk announce to his public. Trixie, Kord and Pronto tunneled up to glance at the meeting. "I know you are men of action not words. So am I." He motioned his soldiers to bring the slug canisters loaded with different ghouls. Trixie, Kord and Pronto ducked back into the tunnel so they wouldn't get caught. "So, I'll put it simply: Take the power I've offered and join me." The slingers walked forth with big grins and started taking the ghoul barrels, making Blakk smile.
Pronto dug the tunnel straight up into a slug storage room. Trixie climbed out and ran in to find Joules. "Ok, dudes. Let's spring these slugs and mission accomplished ourselves outa here." Kord said. "Uh problem: Joules isn't here. We're too late!" Trixie said worried.
While waiting for Blakk, Eli and Harley were looking around the throne room. "So, did you always want to be a henchman? Or was it something you just kinda fell into?" Eli asked. Maurice just looked at Eli with a small sneer. "Okay." Harley walked over to Eli. "Judging on his look, I'm gonna say the second one." He whispered. "Any idea when Blakk's gonna show? I know we kinda surprised him by dropping in like this but-" Eli started saying. "On the contrary." Blakk's voice came. The brothers turned to see him standing in front of them. "I've been expecting you."
Back in the storage room, Trixie looked on at the caged slugs. "I don't know how I'm going to tell Eli about Joules." She said, worried about breaking Eli's heart. Kord took a peek outside and saw Nacho talking with some of Blakk's goons. "You!" Nacho said, noticing him. "Uh, hey bro." Kord said, trying to keep cool. Kord shut the door. "Smash! It! Down!" Nacho ordered. The goons started bashing the door, with Kord holding them back. "We gotta get outta here!" He said, losing strength. "Not without the slugs!" Trixie said, taking a cage. The goons kept bashing at the door 'til Nacho stepped forward. "No! Like this!" He said, holding up his blaster, loaded with a Hop Jack ghoul. The ghoul blasted the door down and Nacho glared as the slugs escaped into the tunnel. "Dr. Blakk's slugs! Get them!" He barked. The goons hopped down the tunnel one by one before Nacho followed. Trixie, Kord and Pronto popped up from behind the empty cages and took off further into the citadel.
Back in the throne room, Blakk had just entered. "Maurice. Leave us." He said. Maurice walked out, leaving Blakk to negotiate with the Shane brothers. "So, let's get down to business. You do know why I invited you 2 here, don't you?" "Invited?" Eli asked. "Guess the invitation got lost in the mail." Harley said, trying to make a joke. "But you did get the message I left in your little clubhouse. That is why you both are here now, isn't it?" Blakk predicted. "Hardly. Mostly I'm here to get my slug back." Eli corrected him. Harley nodded. And Eli's slugs growled. Blakk chuckled. "Really? Is this what you're looking for?" He asked, holding up Joules in a ghoul barrel. "Joules!" Eli called, grabbing his blaster as Harley made a grab to his slingshot. "Think it over." Blakk warned. Joules gave the brothers a wink. They got her message and unhanded their gear. Blakk chuckled. "Good boys." He said. "Join me and you can have her. And in a far more powerful state than she is now." Joules gave off a powerful shock, making Blakk let go of the barrel with Joules hopping out.
Eli and Harley rolled to her. Eli loaded her into his blaster and fired her. Blakk fired an Amperling ghoul. As Joules and the ghoul collided, their electric power gave off a feedback, transforming them back. Blakk fired a Grimmstone, making Eli retaliate by firing Rammer. As they transformed, Rammer tried to punch the ghoul, but it slammed the poor slug down and attacked the Shane brothers with Castlerock. They rolled outta the way and into Blakk's line of fire. Blakk fired a Dark Urchin. "Eli look out!" Harley yelled as he fired his new Frostcrawler, Frostbite, from his slingshot. Frostbite froze the ghoul as it transformed, but it broke free and fired its quills at the brothers. The brothers took cover behind a column, evading the quills. Blakk fired a Hop Jack at the column and destroyed it with the brothers getting blown back by the explosion. "How's this guy so good?" Eli asked. "Probably years of practice." Harley guessed.
Blakk and Eli kept firing slugs and ghouls back and forth, until Blakk loaded and fired a Greneater ghoul at the column the brothers were covering from. The fuse on its tail slowly moved to its body and it exploded, destroying the column. Blakk walked towards the brothers, who were laughing nervously. "Did you honestly think that you 2 could just waltz into my home and actually beat me?" Blakk asked, readying his blaster. "Uh, yeah. Starting to wish I had some of those upgrades though." Eli muttered to Harley. "I'm starting to wish I had an actual blaster." Blakk fired a Thrasher ghoul, spinning like a buzz saw towards Eli. Eli ducked backwards and fired Burpy, trapping Blakk in Flamespire. Eli then fired Rammer, who punched Blakk into the column as Flamespire died out. Blakk struggled up, wiping his jaw, grabbed his blaster and fired all 3 ghouls loaded at the same time.
The brothers dodged the first 2 but got trapped in the 3rd ghoul: a Bubbalash ghoul. Eli and Harley pounded on the ghoul from inside it. Blakk chuckled at the misfortune of the Shane brothers and walked towards them. Eli and Harley looked around for an exit, eyeing the window. The brothers rolled the ghoul towards the window, smashing through the glass, towards the ground. "Uh-oh." Eli said, seeing how high they were. The ghoul bounced off the ground 3 times, sending the brothers out on the 3rd bounce. Eli coughed as he hit the ground. "Please tell me we came out through the mouth." Harley said, not liking the fact that he was eaten by a ghoul. Blakk jumped after them and readied his blaster as Eli glared.
Meanwhile, Trixie, Kord and Pronto entered another room. Trixie looked out the window. "Look!" She pointed. Kord took a look. "Eli and Harley are dueling Blakk?!" He asked shockingly. "Without Pronto?!" Pronto asked, hearing what Kord said. Trixie and Kord looked back out the window.
Nacho, Bull, CC and the rest of Blakk's goons arrived to back Blakk up. Eli and Harley glared at them. "It didn't have to be like this. But then, sons do have a way of repeating their father's mistakes." Blakk said, taking aim at the brothers. Suddenly, Trixie, Kord and Pronto burst through their window. Trixie fired her Arachnet, Spider, creating a web trampoline, bouncing them next to the Shane brothers. Eli and his friends readied their blasters. Harley just stood by and glared. "Oh, good. We're all here." Blakk said, pleased at Eli's little gathering. "Your friends can witness the end of 2 more Shanes. They'll soon follow."
The Shane Gang and Blakks's forces readied themselves in their little standoff. Then they fired. Eli fired a borrowed Frostbite. Trixie fired Spider. Kord fired Sploder, his Hop Rock. And Pronto fired Stinky. Blakk, Nacho, Bull and 2 others fired a Terrarix and 4 Hop Jacks. Their collision created a big energy surge, ending with the ghouls reigning victorious. Eli glared as Blakk and his goons prepared to fire again. Burpy hopped on Eli's arm. "Burpy! Nothings even gotten close to him! But I know you've got more in you!" Eli said, believing in his best slug. "You put too much faith in your slugs." Blakk said. "That Infurnus can't help you." That made Burpy mad, igniting his head. "Wanna bet?" Eli snapped. "We've gotta get outta here, Burpy. Show em what you've got!" Eli loaded Burpy's barrel into his blaster and fired him as Blakk and his goons fired 3 more ghouls. Burpy transformed and formed a firewall. The ghouls got caught in the flames, while Blakk and his goons were blinded by the burning light. The gang looked on in amazement. "Wow. Firewall. That'll work." Eli said as the slugs hopped back to their slingers. "I think you've made your point little guy." Burpy nodded. "Now might be a good time to go." Eli suggested to his team. "No argument here." Trixie agreed. The gang took off.
Blakk and his goons looked on as the gang escaped. "Back around the other side!" Nacho ordered. "No." Blakk said. "Let them go. They got the message. Eli and Harley Shane won't be coming back here anytime soon." He assured his second in command. "Why not make them pay?" Nacho asked. "Oh, they will. They all will." Blakk assured as they walked back to the citadel. "But for now, they're much more useful as a reminder of what happens when even a Shane tries to challenge me."
Back at the hideout, the Shane Gang recuperated after the battle with Blakk. "Well, that wasn't a total disaster." Eli assured his team. "You guys were great. All of you. Blakk was wrong. There is nothing more important than our slugs. If we're gonna do this right, if we're gonna stop Blakk, we'll need more of them. Lots more." He said. "They'll need training too. Still a lot of moves our slugs can learn." Trixie added. "We'll need a bigger gang too. The 5 of us together are pretty tough, I'll admit. But with Blakk recruiting more rogue slingers to his side, like Jon Bull and CC, we'll need more teammates. Not just our slugs." Harley said. "And don't forget the gear. I know you don't think it's that important, Eli, but you just leave that part to me. I never let Blakk get the edge." Kord assured. "Thanks, Kord. It's a deal." Eli said. "And let us not forget how we must band together to achieve an even greater task." Pronto said. "Like what?" Eli asked. "Cleaning up Pronto's room of course!" Pronto revealed. "Who's with me?" Pronto started walking to his room but noticed nobody was following him. "Oh, come on! Somebody's got to be with me! This bed won't make itself!"
To be continued…
