Chapter 52: Light as Day
Dr. Blakk activated his machine. As the cylinders started spinning, the ghouls inside the cylinders transformed, giving the machine power and creating a Terraportal to drill into the Deep Caverns. "As long as these ghouls keep spinning, the only thing keeping my army from me is dirt and stone." Blakk said.
In the Deep Caverns, Brimstone and his Darkbane army activated another Terraportal, drilling up to Slugterra. "A beautiful sight. When the Midlander's Terraportal drill meets ours, we will show Slugterra something even more beautiful. Our fury!" Brimstone announced. His army cheered.
(Intro) (Shane Gang updated with Joshwa Jones and Deagan Por)
Outside the Shane Hideout, Burpy, Hestia, Joules and Chiller were relaxing on a mushroom. Suddenly, Bludgeon zipped past them. As he transformed, he underwent a Megamorph transformation. His horns got bigger and rock shards coated his back and shoulders as he bashed through several other mushrooms with much more power than before. But then, Bluster was slung out of nowhere and went Megamorph too. Her wing flaps and tail flaps got bigger, her horns grew curly and her Galeforce blew Bludgeon back with much more power. "Whoa! Did you see that?!" Trixie asked excitedly. "NICE!" Kord cheered. "Nice shooting!" Dana called as the others applauded and cheered. Even the slugs were impressed. Bluster and Bludgeon admired their new looks. "Whoa! Bluster and Bludgeon can do it too!" Trixie said. "Thanks to these new accelerators that Red Hook added." Kord said.
"It's not just the blaster upgrade." Eli said, booting up his accelerator and slinging Stunts. But as Stunts transformed, he started steering out of control, crashing into several objects until he finally stopped at a tree. "Stunts can't do it. Even with the accelerator. The added speed just throws him off." Eli explained. "Sorry, little guy." Stunts chittered dizzily before fainting. "Eli's right. It's like some slugs are ready for it and some aren't." Harley said. "So, how do we find out which of our slugs are ready?" Kord asked. "We test out every slug in each of our arsenals." Joshwa suggested. "Josh is right. If we sling each of our slugs with the accelerator, we can find out which of our slugs will be able to reach the Megamorph stage." Deagan said. "That's a good idea." Trixie said. "I was thinking the same thing." Harley said. "Pure genius." Kala said. The rest of the gang agreed "Alright then, let's spread out and see which of our slugs are ready to Megamorph." Eli said.
The gang rounded up every slug in each of their arsenals and each took position in separate spots around the training grounds. Eli started with Burpy and Harley started with Hestia, obviously. The gang then started slinging every one of their slugs. Spinner, Chiller and Joules were able to reach their Megamorph forms. Most of the other slugs weren't able to go Megamorph yet. Banger, Rammer, Gust, Beeker and a few others from the gang's arsenals soon joined the Megamorph ranks. Finally, Eli was just down to Buzzsaw. As he slung his Thresher, like Stunts, Buzzsaw just bounced off the mushrooms before landing on a rock. Buzzsaw dizzily waved that he was okay before fainting.
"Alright, guys, line up for roll call." Eli said, gathering up all his slugs for roll call. "Burpy, Joules, Noodle, Banger, Bolo, Rammer, Rocky, Chiller, Burner, Suds, Goober, Sparky, Larry, Gust, Buzzsaw, Digger, Spinner, Mucky, Tangles, Spooker, Charger, Stunts, Glimmer, Mo, Dazer, Urchin, Dozer, Jinxer, Torch, Yang, Beeker, Mimkey, Jaws, Gasser, Crystal, Foggy, Jammer, Bugsy, Nero, Rookie and Shriek!" Eli then knelt down in front of his slugs. "Okay. So, here's the deal. Burpy, Joules, Banger, Rammer, Chiller, Gust, Spinner, Beeker. Looks like you're my slugs who can handle the accelerator and Megamorph. So, I'm gonna be counting on you 8 today. A lot." The 8 Megamorphs chittered gleefully. "Buzzsaw, Bolo and the rest of you, don't worry. I know you'll all get there." Buzzsaw and Bolo were disappointed and started to leave. "Bolo, Buzzsaw, wait! Just because you can't Megamorph, doesn't mean you're not 2 of my best slugs. Your time will come. I know it." Eli assured. Buzzsaw and Bolo looked at each other and nodded to their slinger.
Later, Eli and the gang regrouped. "Alright, guys. Let's tally up our Megamorphs. I've got 8 live and ready. How many did you guys get?" He asked. "Other than Hestia, I got Matchstick, Frostbite, Webs, Zipper, Masher, Claws and Twister." Harley said. "Bluster, Blizzard, Spider, Pounder, Zaps and Roller are ready." Trixie said. "I got Bludgeon, Jolt, Flycatcher, Iceberg, Jetstream and Pincer." Kord said. "I got Legs, Swimy, Hardcase, Blow, Punch, Chill and Storm." Vance said. "Mine are Ricochet, Slide, Crawler, Echo, Breeze, Dunk and Crush." Mario said. "I have Zing, Goat, Webber, Ice, Spark, Winger and Clash ready." Lash said. "Jin, Hindo, Hei-Hei, Yung, Mai and Wang are Megamorph worthy." Shimei said. "Well, I only have Ellie, Fitz and Oya." Eliza said. "Scourge, Polly, Rush, Maelstrom and Tidal Wave are my Megamorph crew." Watts said. "I've got Webby, Willy, Tailwind, Nemo, Richter and Sprite ready." Dana said. "My sisters and I have Hiccup, Cancer, Icestorm, Slabs, Current, Nelly, Thunderstorm, Aquarius, Sagittarius, Firefly, Aries Tara, Aurora, Capricorn, Hardstone and Wildpunch ready." Aerona said. "What about your Midas slugs?" Harley asked. "You tell us." Fareeda said, holding out Shiny. She had white markings trailing down her body and leaf shaped flaps on her head. Goldie, Aurum and Chrysos were the same. "I just got Thurisaz, Raidho and Kaunaz." Rune said.
"And what about you guys?" Eli asked, turning to Joshwa and Deagan. "Surely your slugs must've had some experience since they were ghouls for a time." Harley said. "Oh, we got a few. I got Volta, Frose, Grav, Grine, Sono and Liquaxis. The others still need work." Joshwa said, showing his Megamorphs and other slugs on both of his arms. Loki hopped up, having reached Megamorph himself. His hair reached down his back and his horns got a bit pointier. "Oh! And I can't forget you, Loki." Joshwa said. "As for me, I got Zappy, Turf and Rhinotic ready." Deagan said. "What about Blake? Didn't you test her with the others?" Eli asked. Blake hopped up onto Deagan's shoulder, showing that she was still a regular slug. "No, I didn't. I still remember what The Shadow Clan said about Blake's power. I didn't want to risk burning the whole place down." Deagan said.
"So, only the best slugs can do it, eh? Well then, I can assure you, Stinky will join the ranks." Pronto said, holding up Stinky's barrel. "Your Flatulorhinkus?" Kord asked, thinking Pronto was making a joke. "It might be possible. But then again, this is a stinker we're talking about." Dana said. Pronto just ignored their quips, loaded Stinky and slung him. To everyone's surprise, as Stinky transformed, he actually reached Megamorph and sprayed a big and loud Blorfball. Pronto took a sniff, flinching from how powerful his slug's stink had become now. "Oh, Stinky! I always knew you had it in you!" He cried, actually feeling proud of his best slug. Kord and Dana caught whiff of the gas cloud, felt like barfing and fainted. "I stand corrected!" Kord said, coughing from the stink. "I guess even the worst of slugs have their moments! Now I actually want a Flatulorhinkus!" Dana cried, feeling the stink sting her eyes. The new Megamorph Stinky hopped back over and blew a raspberry at Kord and Dana.
"I wish my slugs can go Megamorph. I haven't trained them yet because I'm still new due to my isolation because of my parents' protection." Barry said. "Don't worry, Barry. I'm sure your slugs will Megamorph soon once we beat Blakk and the Darkbane. We can train you and be a better slug slinger." Eli said, putting his hand on the healer boy's shoulder for comfort.
Later, back inside the hideout, the gang was in the garage, tuning up their mecha beasts for the upcoming battle. Then Harley came out. "I just sent the video call to everyone who are willing to help. They'll join us at Blakk's Citadel." He said. "Good work, Harley. Now we know where we stand against Blakk. I just hope my theory's right. Otherwise, we're heading into a hornet's nest for no good reason." Eli said. "All those ghouls in one place. From how you guys described that machine, it can only have one purpose, babe." Trixie said. "He's punching through to the Deep Caverns! We fought an army of Darkbane once already. I for one don't plan on doing it again." Kord said. "I second that. We barely managed to hold our own against them last time. Even when we ghouled our slugs to battle them." Lash said. "Not to mention Nacho infected me and nearly turned me into one." Harley said. "How'd that go by the way?" Joshwa asked. "Yeah, Nacho never told us." Deagan said. "Oh, not so good for him. Because I had some help and wiped his memory of that. Long story. Tell you later. If we survive at least." Harley explained. "Yes, yes. It is all very nice. But charging straight into Blakk's impenetrable stronghold is many things. Brave, foolhardy, insane. But smart, it is not." Pronto said, peeling a banana and eating the peel. "You know, I'm glad to hear you feel that way, Pronto. Because we have a different mission in mind for you." Eli said, handing Pronto a map. Pronto gulped his peel down in fear, seeing on the map where Eli was sending him. "Eh, are you sure I could not just…come with you?" He asked pleadingly.
Later, the gang and their pets got ready in a canyon. "Good luck, Pronto." Eli said. "Yes. I am going to need it." Pronto said worriedly before riding off. "Let's pick up the pace, people!" Eli called, leading the gang into the canyon, switching their mecha beasts to vehicle mode. Barry's mecha, Pascal, a brilliant-blue and sky-blue dragon, transformed into a dune buggy. Joshwa's mecha, Climber, a brownish-gold with black spots leopard, transformed into a motorcycle. And Deagan's mecha, Timber, a chocolate-brown and light-brown moose, transformed into a dune buggy. Their pets followed closely. "Don't know how long we have until Blakk breaks through. We can't let anything slow us down." Eli said. "Then I'm guessing that's gonna be a problem." Trixie said, pointing up ahead. There was an army of Titans coming towards them. "No problem at all. Just remember to cool down. Our blasters can't handle rapid-fire Megamorphs." Eli said. "Not gonna be a problem, honey." Eliza said.
Eli slung Burpy as the first Titan fired 2 Megamorph Hop Jacks. Burpy blasted through the ghouls and hit the Titan with Flashfire, causing it to crash. Kord slung Bludgeon and the second Titan fired 2 Megamorph Grimmstones. Bludgeon bashed through the ghouls and into the Titan. The airbag went off as it crashed. Trixie slung Bluster, blowing at the third Titan with Galeforce. "Uh oh." The driver said as the Titan got caught in the winds. Vance slung Hardcase, digging a trench and causing the fourth Titan's front treads to trip and flip it on its back. Harley and Eliza slung Matchstick and Ellie, blasting the fifth Titan's treads off with a double Blastburst. Joshwa slung Loki, creating an illusion of a big red Crystal Worm in front of the sixth Titan. The driver got scared and steered the Titan blindly into the canyon wall. Shimei and Watts slung Hei-Hei and Polly, picking up the seventh Titan and dropped it on the rocks. All slugs returned to their slingers as the gang continued on.
Meanwhile, in a nearby cave, a robed man was watching a hologram of Harley's message. "This is a message to all of our friends and allies. The time has come for us to rid Slugterra of Dr. Blakk and the Darkbane once and for all. Our worst fears have come to full belief. Blakk is about to break through the barriers between Slugterra and the Deep Caverns. But even the Shane Gang can't fight this battle alone. We need your help. Join us at Blakk's Citadel and help us put an end to his evil once and for all." Harley explained as the message ended. The man reached into his pocket and pulled out an emergency phone bearing the Shane mark. "It is time." He said, activating the phone.
At Blakk's Citadel, Blakk continued watching the Terraportal drill into the Deep Caverns when Maurice walked in. "Boss, I-" Maurice started to say. "Shh! Listen! Can you hear that?! Clawing, scratching, scraping! They're almost here." Blakk said. "So are the Shane Gang. They're heading this way with some serious firepower." Maurice said. "I'm sure we can keep them occupied until your brothers arrive. Can't we?" Blakk asked, turning to some Darkbane troops. The elite Darkbane nodded.
Meanwhile, Pronto had arrived at where Eli sent him. "Of course, it is clear why Eli and Harley chose Pronto for this dangerous mission. Pronto is brave. Extremely intelligent." Pronto boasted. Stinky just shook his head. "The only thing that I can't quite figure out is WHY DID PRONTO ACCEPT?!" Pronto asked out of fear, seeing that he was at the edge of the Abyss. "GERONIMO!" He screamed as he jumped Fernando into the abyss, activating his gliders.
The Shane Gang rode right into Blakk's cavern, transformed their mechas back to beast-mode and settled on top of a cliff. There, they saw Blakk's army ready for battle. Including Nacho, Dred, Locke and Load, Jon Bull, CC, the Hooligang, Shockwire, the Power Trips, Frost and Flame, Krusher, Stalker, the Gentleman and Squid. "Whoa. That's a lot of guards." Vance said. "Yeah. That also includes the elites." Joshwa said. "You sure about this, Eli?" Trixie asked. "Nope. You?" Eli asked. "Nope." She said. "Then it's a good thing we got here just in time." A voice called from behind. The gang turned as saw the King of Sling riding up on his mecha. "Because we aren't as sure as you either." He said as Jacques, André Geyser and Reuben's group followed. Then came Millard, Shorty, Goggles and their security slinger brothers. Tobias and Kate came up with their new and improved inventions. "WHOO-HOO!" Waylon yelled as he leapt his mecha from a cliffside to the ground next to Desdemona. Grendel and his workers, the Deadweed miners, Lumino miners and the Blade City Brutes joined in too. Brodie and Kate joined in with the Geronimo Quintuplets and the people from High Plains Cavern. Followed by the Jones family. And finally, Indra and her resistance joined in too. "You made it!" Kord cheered. "Glad you guys could join us." Harley said. "We had no reason not to." Jacques said. "You've been there for us. And we're here for you, Darkbane boy." Desdemona said. "Then let's do this!" Eli said as everyone prepared for battle.
"This can be just you and me, Blakk! No one else has to get hurt!" Eli called. "Oh, it will be just you and me. But I assure you, your friends will suffer as well!" Blakk promised. Blakk's army readied their blasters, and the gang and their allies did the same. "Go!" Eli yelled and everyone charged down the cliff. Blakk motioned his army to charge before joining in. As Eli rode towards a rock, Blakk slung a Grimmstone. Eli leapt off the rock, transformed Lucky into bike-mode and back-flipped off and back on, dodging the ghoul before landing. "WHAT?!" Blakk asked in anger before following. "Eli, go! We'll handle things out here!" Trixie called. "I'll join you when I can, bro!" Harley called.
Just then, the gang was all held at blaster point by Blakk's army. "Trixie?" Kord said. "Kord?" Trixie said. "It's show time." Kord said. "ATTACK!" Harley shouted. Locke, Load and 2 other guards fired a Hop Jack, a Harmashelt, an Aquafreak and a Grimmstone. Trixie and Kord fired Bluster and Bludgeon. Bludgeon bashed through the girls and smashed some big boulders. Then Bluster blew the rocks at Blakk's army with Galeforce, knocking them off their mechas.
Shockwire quickly recovered, drew his 2 blasters and slung 2 Amperlings. Dana noticed and slung Webby, catching both ghouls in her newly powerful web. Before Shockwire could reload, Rune came from the shadows behind him and knocked him out. But just as Dana nodded to him, a familiar blaster was pointed right at her head. "Well, well, well. Been a long time, hasn't it?" The Gentleman said. "Not long enough." Dana said. The Gentleman chuckled as he used his eye to scan around. "Gonna finish what you started in Chillbore Cavern?" Dana asked. The Gentleman stared at her, tightening his finger on the trigger. "Actually…no." He turned his blaster and slung his Thresher, spinning past Rune and slicing 3 of Blakk's guards' blasters in half with Throttlebite. Dana was shocked by this. "But why? I thought you were with them." She said. "True. I may be a gentleman, but I've always been a little two-faced when it comes to whom I work with." The Gentleman explained. "Well then, don't let me stop you then." Dana said. The Gentleman nodded and walked back into the battle.
Harley slung Splatz, trapping 3 guards and the Trips in place. "SHANE!" A voice shouted. Harley turned to see Bull coming towards him, spatting with anger. "I've been waiting a long time for this since you got me disqualified from the competition!" Bull shouted, throwing a punch. But Harley caught it, twisted Bull's arm, slightly cracking the bone, and aimed his blaster at his chest, activating the accelerator. "Keep waiting, jerk." He said, slinging Claws and sending Bull into the rocks.
As Locke and Load recovered, Nacho came up and shoved them out of the way, slinging an Attacknet. Eliza slung her new Armashelt, Chloe, and Vance slung Blast. The Attacknet snared Chloe in its web, then caught Blast with another, sending him back to the gang. The blast knocked them off their mechas. When they recovered, they saw Nacho, Dred and a few Darkbane readying their blasters. Harley glared at Nacho, standing up. "What're you doing?" Dana asked. "After what he did to me, Nacho is mine." Harley said, walking up to Blakk's top enforcer. "Huh. You're no match for me, Shane." Nacho said. "That's what you think. I'm more of a match than you'll ever be." Harley said as his eyes went blood-red, transforming him into his Darkbane form. "What?! How is that possible?!" Nacho asked, not remembering due to Wizard's power. "Surprised? Of course, you are. You don't remember this, but you infected me with Dark Water in the Deep Caverns and turned me into this. And now, I'm gonna use my new powers to kick your Darkbane butt!" Harley roared, charging into Nacho.
Eli rode into the citadel, switching Lucky back to beast-mode as he reached the room with Blakk's machine. He and his slugs looked on in horror at what they saw. "Oh no! He's creating a Terraportal to the Deep Caverns! It's already started!" He said. Just then, a ghoul blast knocked him down. "Oh, we're far from started, Eli Shane. It's already over!" Blakk said, slinging another ghoul.
2 Darkbane slung 2 Hop Jacks. "Watch it!" Trixie shouted before they were blown away by the blast. Dred slung a Dark Urchin, firing Sandspur. Trixie gasped. "Kord, move!" She called. But too late. The quills pierced through Wyatt, shielding Kord. "Oh, my beautiful mecha!" He cried, before getting angry. "Oh, now you did it!" Dred looked on in shock as Kord managed to pick up Wyatt and tossed him. Dred moved out of the way and Wyatt crashed into Frost and Flame.
The King, Jacques and André were dueling 4 guards. They were about to get pounded by a Megamorph Hop Jack. But then, Shimei came in and swatted the ghoul down with her staff. The 4 guards fired a Hop Jack, a Harmashelt, a Grimmstone and an Aquafreak. "It's fusion time." Shimei said. She started spinning her blaster, loading the barrels with Feng and her new Tazerling, Sjokk. She spun her blaster faster and faster before splitting it into 2 and firing both slugs at the same time. Feng and Sjokk spun back-to-back, firing ElectroSpears at the ghouls and the guards, shocking them all. "That's for my grandmother." Shimei said.
Eli dodged the ghoul and slung Rammer, but Blakk ducked to dodge. "I really must thank you and your brother. If you 2, those foul Infurnuses and the Universal Slug hadn't shown me the way, I would've never seen how to upgrade my ghouls." Blakk said. Just then, the ground began to shake and crack under Blakk's machine. "So, you can use them to destroy your own home?!" Eli asked, slinging Joules and firing Tazerbolt. Blakk rolled to the side, dodging the attack. Eli reloaded and prepared to fire again. But the accelerator powered down, needing time to cool down. "Oh, Floppers." Eli groaned.
"I've outgrown this citadel. An emperor deserves a grander palace! Don't you think?" Blakk asked. "I'm talking about Slugterra! What do you think the Darkbane are gonna do when they get here?! Sit around and play Slugball?!" Eli asked. "They will do as I command! They are a means to an end." Blakk said. Eli looked to see that his accelerator had reactivated. "Yeah. The end of us all!" He yelled. "NO! Not all of us! But certainly you!" Blakk said. Eli slung Chiller and Blakk slung a Bubbalash. The ghoul knocked Chiller aside and bashed Eli through the wall.
Harley struggled in Nacho's grip as he began to crush him. Harley pushed and pounded Nacho in the head, trying to get free. But then, Nacho slammed him down into the ground and tried to pound him. But Harley blocked him and pounced back. "Harley! I don't have a shot!" Trixie called, trying to aim at Nacho. But then, her blaster was shot out of her hand. "I do." An elite Darkbane said, reloading and firing another ghoul. Trixie dove to the ground to dodge the ghoul. Kord saw this. "Trixie! Here!" He called, tossing her his blaster as he fought off Maurice. "Let's duel." Trixie said, picking up Kord's blaster. But as she fired it, she got blown back from the recoil.
Stalker led 2 Darkbane and 4 guards against the Geronimo Quintuplets, Tobias and Kate. One Darkbane slung a Harmashelt. Tobias activated his anti-gravity device, caught the ghoul and sent it right back, bashing into the Darkbane. The quintuplets started firing their slugs. But the guards and the Darkbane fired back with their ghouls, knocking down the slugs and making towards the slingers. But Kate readied her amplifiers and screamed, sending the ghouls right back and blowing Stalker and his troops away. But then, as one guard landed, he accidently slung a Greneater, sticking near Stalker. Nearby, as Bella fought with the other pets, swatting down guards and ghouls, she saw as the Greneater's tail started sparking. Stalker braced for the explosion, but Bella came running and pounced him out of the way just as the ghoul exploded. Stalker was shocked by what happened. "You-You saved me?" He asked. Bella nodded. "I-I don't know what to say. Why would you save me? I hunt creatures like you." Stalker said. Bella just nuzzled his hand, purring. Stalker understood what she was trying to say. "You're right. Even someone like me deserves to do the right thing." He said, petting Bella's head. One guard behind them recovered and tried to shoot them. But then, Shiny was slung out of nowhere and hit the guard with Goldray, turning him into a statue. Stalker and Bella looked up as Fareeda came up. "Finally coming to your senses, are we?" She asked teasingly. Stalker chuckled nervously. "Yeah. I guess you could say that." He said. "Then let's finish this. As friends." Fareeda said, holding out her hand. Stalker nodded and accepted the hand.
Eli got blown into another room by the Bubbalash as Blakk followed and entered. "Ah. Look at that. Red Hook said no more accelerators were made. Pity for you he was lying!" Blakk said, picking up a second blaster. Eli activated his accelerator and slung Burpy while Blakk slung 2 Harmashelts from both blasters. Burpy collided with the ghouls, but was knocked onto a lab table. Eli was blown back from the collision. And when his blaster dropped to the floor, the accelerator was knocked loose and rolled away. "My accelerator!" Eli exclaimed. Blakk took aim at Eli. As Burpy started to recover, 4 Harmashelts surrounded him. Burpy blew them back with his fire attacks. But then, the whole citadel started to shake again. The Terraportal drill was almost at the breaking point with the Darkbane's in the Deep Caverns.
"Are the Shadow Clan still gathered at the Guardian Gate?" Brimstone asked. His elite nodded. "Then there will be nothing to stop us from surging through this entrance to Slugterra!" Brimstone said. "We have waited a millennium, brothers! In minutes, we will have Slugterra!" The Darkbane cheered.
Burpy continued to blow his fire at the Harmashelts, but it wasn't enough. One of them kicked Burpy down and they all started swarming him, but Burpy managed to give an uppercut, sending them flying with one of them falling off the table. Burpy bashed into another one, knocking it out. He then saw the other 2 hopping towards him. Burpy hopped in front of another blaster, daring the ghouls to come at him. He hopped out of the way, making the first Harmashelt hop into it. Then he used all his strength to press the trigger, slinging the ghoul at the other one.
Blakk walked up to Eli, kicking away his accelerator. "Your father and I dueled dozens of times. And you and your brother might just be better than him! But not good enough." He said, taking aim at Eli. "You have no idea how good we are." Eli said, equipping the double-barrel with Buzzsaw and Bolo loaded and slinging them as Blakk slung 2 more Harmashelts. Buzzsaw and Bolo spun around together, creating their fusion move called Sawbolo and slamming into both the ghouls and Blakk.
Harley continued to fight with Nacho. Harley tried to punch him, but Nacho kept blocking and dodging them and threw punches of his own. Then he swept Harley off his feet. "You wouldn't have lasted this long if we were in the Deep Caverns." Nacho said, preparing to stomp on Harley. But Harley caught his foot. "Well, we're NOT!" He roared, tossing Nacho on his back. "And guess what, Nacho. I'm more than happy to send you BACK!" He charged Nacho, but Nacho lifted him up and slammed him into the ground. Nacho then leapt up to deliver a high kick. But Harley slipped away before the attack connected with the ground. Nacho was confused, wondering where Harley went. Then Harley came up, socked Nacho in the gut and shoved him down. But then, Nacho lifted Harley up by his shirt and tossed him into a boulder. Nacho chuckled as he walked up to Harley, cracking his knuckles. "I may not remember turning you into a Darkbane, but you don't have the strength or skill. You're still weak." He gloated. "But I'm not alone. I brought a new trick with me." Harley said, equipping his double-barrel, loaded with a ghouled Matchstick and Twister. As Harley slung his ghouls, they transformed and started to spin around back-to-back, creating a flaming typhoon and blasting Nacho into the rocks. As both slugs hopped back to Harley, he calmed himself and transformed back. "Wow. I can't believe that worked! Not bad for our first ghoul fusion move." He said. Matchstick and Twister high-fived.
Dred grinned from afar, turning to a couple guards. "It's time. Unleash our newest toys." He ordered. The guards turned a rotary wheel and opened several hatches on the citadel. And then, to everyone's shock, an entire army of human ghouls exited the hatches and started to attack. A human Harmashelt shrieked. "We got incoming!" Watts called, slinging Polly and snagging one of the human ghouls, dropping it on a couple others. Mario slung Ricochet, knocking down several more by ricocheting off their heads. The other allies started slinging their slugs too. But the human ghouls went to their Ghoul-Up mode and started swatting and blasting down the slugs. Mario and Watts reloaded and prepared to fire again, but their accelerators shut down to cool off. "Blast!" He exclaimed. "This is definitely a problem." Mario said.
Dred chuckled. "DRED!" A voice shouted. Dred smiled as he turned to see Joshwa and Deagan standing before him. "Well, well, well. Come back to let me finish the job, have you?" He asked mockingly. "This ends now, Dred. You're not going to hurt anyone else ever again." Deagan said. "Says the boy with a bad magma burn on his face." Dred chuckled mockingly. "Go ahead. Chuckle. It's the last thing you'll ever do." Joshwa said. "Oh no. The last thing I'll ever do is…THIS!" Dred drew his blaster and slung a Hop Jack. Joshwa loaded Loki and slung him at the ground, causing him and Deagan to disappear. Dred just chuckled at this. "No matter how many times you use that illusion move, know that I will always know which is the real you, boy." He said. But then, due to Loki's new Megamorph abilities, hundreds of illusions of Joshwa and Deagan appeared and surrounded him. Dred started slinging ghouls at each one. But as the hit ones disappeared, more just started appearing more and more.
The real Joshwa and Deagan were hiding behind a boulder. "Loki won't be able to hold that illusion up for long." Joshwa said. "Then what're we gonna do now?" Deagan asked. "I don't know. Even if we use our new Megamorphs, Dred's just too good for us. We need something to put him down for good." Joshwa said. Just then, Blake hopped up onto Deagan's shoulder and started chittering. "Blake, what is it?" Deagan asked. Blake chittered and pointed to his blaster's accelerator. "What?! Are you sure? If you go Megamorph, you might set this cavern and everything in it ablaze!" Deagan said with concern. Blake chittered and put her hand on his. Deagan looked at her, seeing the look in her eyes. "Okay. I believe in you too, girl." He said.
Dred continued to blast the illusions, but more just kept coming. "You say my burns look bad?" Deagan asked. Then all the illusions disappeared, revealing the real Deagan. "Let's see what yours will look like." Deagan raised his blaster, activated his accelerator and slung Blake. Dred looked on with shock and fear as Blake transformed, going Megamorph, and blew a large green Flashfire at him. He screamed in pain as fire coated his entire body, burning his suit and his skin. Joshwa walked up next to Deagan and Blake flew back to him as they watched Dred scream and burn.
As the rest of the gang and allies were getting hammered by the human ghouls, a glow came from behind a big boulder. Everyone stared, wondering what it was. And just then, a bunch of people emerged from behind the boulder. But these people almost looked Burpy and Hestia's Slug-Up forms. They had different antennae on their heads, some had armor like Armashelts, Hop Rocks or Slicksilvers, some had horns like Rammstones and others had appearances to other slugs' velocimorphs. Everyone was shocked by this. "Could it be?" Kord asked. Infinity hopped up onto the boulder. "Infinity!" Aerona cheered. Infinity smiled and nodded. "ATTACK!" A male human Rammstone yelled. The human slugs all yelled and charged into the battle. The human ghouls charged right back at them. Both sides collided and started to fight.
Trixie continued to duel with the Darkbane. Rune had come to back her up. As the Darkbane sling a Grimmstone, a Frostfang and a Greneater, Trixie slings her Megamorph AquaBeek, Fishy, from Kord's blaster, knocking the ghouls back to their Protoform with Aquajet. Rune then fired his Hypnogrif, Wunjo. But the elite Darkbane fired a Grimmstone, knocking Wunjo back. Trixie and Rune looked at their blasters, seeing that their accelerators needed to cool down. "You think your slugs make you powerful? You're just as pathetic as the other Slugterran scum!" The elite said, loading and slinging a Hop Jack, knocking Trixie and Rune down. Luckily, Trixie landed near her blaster. As she picked it up, she and Rune took cover behind a boulder. "You know, for someone who hates Slugterrans, you sure do seem to love taking orders from Dr. Blakk." Trixie teased. "Yeah. Ain't that a kick in the head?" Rune asked teasingly. "Ha! You think we serve Blakk?! Perhaps for the moment. But soon, when the rest of my brothers emerge, things will be different." The elite said as 4 guards ran towards the boulder. Trixie popped out and slung Spider, snaring the guards in her web. Rune then slung Kaunaz, bashing them back to the citadel. Both of them got ready to fire again, but their accelerators powered down, needing to cool down. "Oh, Floppers." Trixie muttered. "We're toast now." Rune said.
The elite fired a Hop Jack at the 2. But then, the Shadow Clan Chief appeared and caught the ghoul. Trixie and Rune were surprised to see him. "Father?!" Rune exclaimed. The elite was shocked too, but shrugged it off, preparing to fire again. But then, a Rammstone was slung at him, bashing him on the head and knocking him out. Just then, there was a familiar battle cry. Everyone turned to see. Pronto was riding into the battle with the Grizzly Wolves and the Shadow Clan. "EAT MY STINK!" Pronto shouted, slinging Stinky and hitting a few guards with Blorfball. The Wolves dismounted their mechas as they ran and started attacking the guards and the human ghouls. The Shadow Clan attacked the guards and the human ghouls too. "Yes, you are right to fear the wrath of Pronto the magnificent!" Pronto called. As Nacho started to recover from Harley's fusion move, he saw the Shadow Clan standing over him. And before he knew it, the Shadow Clan snatched him and carried him away.
"It seems we were guarding the wrong passage. But thanks to the molenoid, we can now correct that error." The Chief said, offering Kord a hand. "I don't know what you said. But man, I'm sure glad you're here." Kord said as the Chief helped him up. "Yeah. You guys came at the nick of time." Kala said as everyone regrouped. "Yes, yes. No need to thank me for saving you and all of Slugterra. I am Pronto! It's what I do." Pronto boasted. "Of course, it is, buddy." Harley said, fist-bumping the mole. "And yet, I feel like I am forgetting something." Pronto said. As Harley shook his head, he noticed a Darkbane blaster on the ground. He picked it up and examined it. "Wow. Cool design." Kord said. "But how's the fire power?" Mario asked. "One way to find out." Harley said. He loaded Claws, activated the accelerator and slung him at a boulder, completely shattered it. "Oh, I am in love with this thing. Though it could use a Shane Gang color and tune up." He said, putting the blaster on his back.
Just then, the citadel started to shake again. "Come on! We gotta help, Eli." Trixie said, worried about her fiancé. "Let me see. I ate a healthy breakfast, saved the world, what was I supposed to do?" Pronto asked himself. "How about you drop and burn?!" Jon Bull's voice asked. Everyone turned to see Maurice leading him and Blakk's elites and aiming their blasters them. "This time, Dr. Blakk wins and takes all of Slugterra!" Billy shouted. The Chief hissed at the elites to intimidate them. "Oh, like we're supposed to be scared of you? CC, show them we mean business." Maurice ordered. "Of course." CC said, holding up a Photomo. The gang gasped. As did the Chief. CC slung the ghoul into the air. But suddenly, a Bubbaleone came out of nowhere and swallowed it. "WHAT?! Who fired that slug?!" Bull asked in anger.
Just then, a Phosphoro got their attention with Arcalyte. Everyone looked up to a cliff, and there were 4 men on mechas on top of it. One of them was the robed man from the cave. "Whoa!" Kord said with surprise. "Who are those guys?" Kala asked. "Never seen them before." Shimei said. The men leapt their mechas off the cliffs and landed in between the 2 groups. "Nice leap. But who are you guys?" Aerona asked. The robed man took off his hood, revealing his face to be none other than "Viggo Dare!" Kord said with surprise. "The former gangster who joined our fathers." Aerona said. Viggo looked almost like he did during Will Shane and Cilan Garcia's days. Except his hair was longer and greyer. His mustache and his beard were the same, but just as grey. "It's a pleasure to meet the newer Shane Gang. Especially Will and Cilan's kids." He said. "You too." Harley said, shaking Viggo's hand. "Where's your brother?" Viggo asked. "Inside dueling Blakk." Harley said. "He needs our help." Trixie said.
"You're not going anywhere!" Bull shouted. The elites all took aim at the gang. Viggo and his men glared at them, took off his robe and dismounted his mecha. "Listen up! All of you!" He began as the guards recovered and joined the elites. "If you follow someone like Blakk, all you're ever gonna have is a future of fear and violence that leads to a tag in the cavern morgue. Because no matter how loyal you are, to Blakk, you're all just expendable and replaceable. You know it's true. I can see it in your eyes. I saw the same thing in myself. But it's not too late. When I joined up with Will Shane and Cilan Garcia, they gave me a choice for a better future. You too can choose a better future. All you have to do is walk away. Just walk away."
Some of the elites looked at each other. "Such a moving speech. But highly wasted!" Bull said, aiming his blaster at Viggo. "Just say the order and I'll slug him to kingdom come, Maurice!" But instead, Maurice turned to face Bull and aimed his blaster at him. "Hey! The Shane Gang is behind you, you stupid oaf! BEHIND YOU!" Billy ranted. But then, Sid and the slug hunters aimed their blasters at him, Belinda and Croesus. Shockwire, the Power Trips, Frost, Flame, Krusher and all the guards turned on their former allies. "We are with you…boss." Maurice said. "Welcome back, old friend." Viggo said, patting Maurice's shoulder. Millard, Shorty, Goggles and the security slingers forced Locke, Load, Bull, CC, Billy, Belinda and Croesus on their knees and handcuffed them. Just then, they heard a groaning sound. Everyone turned and saw Dred crawling towards them. He was entirely burned from top to bottom. "We'll cuff him too. We've been after that Dred for years now." Millard said. "Good. And get a medical capsule, fix him up in something. We don't want anyone in Stalagmite 17 looking at that face any more than we do." Harley said. Millard nodded and snapped his fingers. 2 other security slingers ran over to Dred. "Now then, what was it that I am forgetting?" Pronto asked. "Not now! Now come on! We need to help Eli!" Harley said. Everyone nodded and followed Harley into the citadel.
Back inside, Eli retrieved his accelerator and reattached it to his blaster as Bolo and Buzzsaw hopped back to him. "Buzzsaw, Bolo! I told you were 2 of my best slugs." He said, praising his 2 slugs and putting them on his shoulder. "I'm just glad going double-barrel worked." "Worked?" Blakk chuckled as he re-entered. "You took your best shot and failed. Slugterra is about to fall! Look!" He gestured to the Terraportal. It had reached the breaking point and met with the one in the Deep Caverns. "Into the Terraportal! Attack! ATTACK!" Brimstone shouted. The Darkbane charged into the Terraportal, making their way up to Slugterra.
But instead of being worried, Eli actually smiled. "Why are you smiling?" Blakk asked. "We're why." Kord said. Blakk looked behind him to see Harley, the Shane Gang, their pets, allies and the Shadow Clan. "YOU!" Blakk shouted, noticing Viggo with the crowd. "Been a long time, comedian. Still got my watch?" Viggo asked mockingly. But Blakk just chuckled. "You're too late. I've already won." He said just as the Darkbane emerged through the Terraportal. Eli slung Rocky at one, knocking it out. Everyone else began to fight them off as they emerged. But then, Brimstone came through too. "Oh. Hello, cousins. I wasn't expecting you." He said, before charging the Shadow Clan. Both sides appeared to be evenly matched. "They just keep coming!" Kord said as he and Pronto slung more slugs. And it just kept getting worse. An Eel emerged from the Terraportal and started grabbing and swatting at everyone. "Oh no! Not this thing again!" Flame cried in fear. "I don't think we can stop them!" Trixie said before dodging one of the Eel's tentacles. "Look what you've done! You're going to destroy all of Slugterra!" Eli shouted to Blakk, heading into the fight.
"I'm gonna need more slugs!" Trixie called. Kord jumped away, dodging the Eel. "I'm gonna need a doctor!" He said, clutching his waist. "Pronto, any chance you remember what it was you were supposed to?!" Harley called. "WAIT! Now I remember! The Shadow Clan also gave me THIS!" Pronto shouted, pulling out an old friend with a familiar Guardian glow. "Doc!" Eli cheered. "A healer?!" Blakk asked in shock. Pronto tossed their Guardian Boon Doc back to his rightful owner. "NO!" Blakk shouted in fear. "Welcome back, buddy." Eli said as he caught Doc and loaded him into his blaster. He took aim at the machine, activated the accelerator and slung Doc at the machine. As Doc hit the machine, all the ghouls were healed back into slugs. And then, the Terraportal reversed itself and began to suck the Darkbane back into the Deep Caverns, creating a large hole due to the Eel. "WHAT?!" Brimstone looked on at what happened as everyone else resisted against the pull. "NO! BLAKK! FIX THIS! BLAKK!" Brimstone screamed as he got pulled in too.
Blakk, seeing that his plans were ruined, attempted to flee. Eli and Harley saw this. "Blakk's getting away!" Harley called. "Oh no, he's not." Aerona said. The Chief nodded and teleported with her through the shadows. They reappeared in front of Blakk, blocking his escape. "What?!" Blakk asked in shock. "You're not going anywhere, Blakk." Aerona said with a glare. "Surrender, Blakk. It's over." Eli said as he and Harley blocked Blakk in the back. "You've got nowhere to run now!" Harley exclaimed. Aerona suddenly felt an urge inside her after thinking about what Blakk said about her father at Stalagmite 17. Blakk turned to notice her breathing deeply and heavily. "This…is for…my FATHER!" Aerona screamed, charging into Blakk and pushing them both into the Terraportal. "AERONA!" The 3 Garcia sisters screamed, horrified to see their eldest sister pushing Blakk into the Terraportal. Eli and Harley ran for the Terraportal. "Burpy! Hestia! Let's go!" Eli called as he and Harley slung their Infurnuses. The brothers jumped into the Terraportal with the Infurnuses following. "Eli! Harley! No!" Trixie called. "NO!" Pronto cried.
The Chief looked up at the gears. "I have to shut it down." He hissed, getting Rune's attention. "What?! But Eli, Harley and Aerona are in there! If you shut it down, they could be lost to the Deep Caverns!" Rune hissed. "I know, my son. But if the Terraportal remains open, Slugterra will be sucked inside out. I know the sons of Shane and daughter of Garcia would do the same." The Chief hissed. Rune felt unsure, but he nodded, knowing his father's duties to Slugterra always have to come first. The Chief teleported to the first gear set and jammed them with a Darkbane spear. "What's he doing?!" Kord asked. "No!" "He's trying to shut it down!" Trixie said. "Stop! Eli, Harley and Aerona are in there!" Kord called. "Rune! He's your father! Stop him!" Dana called. "Let him do it!" Rune said. Dana looked at them both in shock as the Chief jammed the second gear set.
Inside the Terraportal, Aerona and Blakk struggled against each other. But then, Eli and Harley dropped in and joined in the struggle. Burpy and Hestia were not far behind. And suddenly, as they got closer, they underwent another transformation. Their morphs stayed the same, but their flames turned blue. Up top, the Chief jammed the last gear set. "NO!" Kord shouted as the Terraportal began to shut down. During the struggle, Blakk managed to get the upper hand. "We're all going down together! Say goodbye to Slugterra!" Blakk shouted. "And say hello to the Deep Caverns!" Eli said. Joules, Banger, Rammer, Chiller, Gust, Spinner and Beeker popped out of Eli's pack and attacked Blakk, making him let go of Eli, Harley and Aerona. Burpy and Hestia zipped down and caught their 3 friends. Eli and Harley held on to their Infurnuses as they flew back up to the top. Aerona held on to Eli and Harley. Joules blew a raspberry at Blakk as he fell down the Terraportal.
Back in the citadel, the gang looked on with worry as the Terraportal was about to shut down. But then, Eli, Harley and Aerona all flew up and they all landed heroically. "Eli!" Trixie cried, hugging her fiancé tightly. "Thank goodness, you're alright!" Dana cried, hugging Harley just as tight. Fareeda, Kala and Paulina hugged Aerona just as tight as well. Just then, the Chief reappeared beside everyone. "You wanna explain yourself?!" Kord asked angrily. "Hey! Cool off, Kord!" Rune exclaimed defensively. "What's the problem, guys?" Eli asked as he and Harley put of their Shadow Talkers and the sisters put on their Shadow Earpieces. "He was shutting down the machine while you 3 were still in there!" Kord explained. "Forgive me, sons of Shane and daughter of Garcia. My actions were for the good of all of Slugterra." The Chief said. "We know. You were just doing what needed to be done." Eli said. "Yeah. We would've done the same." Harley said. "The barrier has been renewed. And without the ghouls, it not be broken again." The Chief said. "So, it's over. The Darkbane, Blakk. They're gone." Eli said. "Yes. Thanks to you and all of your friends, sons of Shane and daughters of Garcia." The Chief said. The gang's allies and the Shadow Clan all gathered and stared at each other. The gang looked at each group with worry and concern. Just then, little Russell walked up to a scout. "Russell, what are you doing?!" Pronto asked with a whisper. Russell looked up at the scout. Then he held out his hand. "Shadow Clan friend." He said. The scout nodded and accepted the hand. The rest of both groups walked to each other and each shook hands, accepting each other's friendship.
Sometime later, at the hideout, Eli and Harley brought Eliza, Aerona, Fareeda, Kala and Paulina into a private conversation. "Guys, what Harley and I are about to suggest is gonna change our lives." Eli said. "What is it?" Aerona asked. Eli and Harley looked at each other and nodded. "We're going to seal the Drop." They said at the same time. That actually surprised the sisters a bit. But Eliza just smiled. She figured this would happen someday. "I know this is sudden for some of you. But Harley and I have come to accept Slugterra as our home and the gang as our family." Eli said. "That and with Blakk gone, the other villains still out there are gonna try and take his place. Slugterra still needs us." Harley said. "I agree." Eliza said, standing up. The sisters looked at each other for a minute. Then Aerona stood up. "You're right. The people still need us." She said. "And we can't have any wanderers finding the tunnel." Fareeda said. "But what about our father and Tad? They're still up there." Paulina objected. "We know. But we also know they can their way down someday. Right now, this is for the best." Kala said. Paulina felt unsure, but after some careful thinking, she nodded in agreement. "Then it's settled. Get the gang. We're heading for the Drop." Eli said.
Later, the gang all headed right for the Drop. "Come on, bros. You're all really going back up to the Surface?" Kord asked. "Don't be so emotional, Kord. Of course, they are. Now that they've learned to ride their Infurnuses. That is why we have come to…the Drop." Pronto said. "Right where it all began." Lash said. "You ready?" Eli asked. "Always, bro." Harley said. Burpy and Hestia nodded. "And there's nothing else we can say to change your minds?" Trixie asked, holding the ring around her neck. "We appreciate everything you guys said on the way over here. But we know what we have to do." Eli said. He and Harley loaded Burpy and Hestia in their blasters and slung them. "So, this is it. This is…goodbye." Kord said, preparing to cry. "Well, it was nice being in a family again while it lasted, Deag." Dana said. "Yeah. Even if it was only a few weeks for me." Deagan said.
Then, Burpy and Hestia blew Flashfire at the Drop, sealing the tunnel. That surprised the gang. "You didn't expect us to leave a big giant tunnel up to the surface where anyone could find it, did you?" Eli asked. Just then, Pronto hugged both brothers from their legs. "You're staying! I knew it!" He cried. "You jerks! I thought-" Dana started to say, but then she pulled them into a hug. "Don't ever do that again!" She cried. "I can't believe you did that to me! Come here!" Kord said, pulling them into a bigger hug. Trixie and others joined in the group hug. "Hey, we talked about it before coming here and you guys are right. Slugterra still needs the Shanes and the Garcias, this is our home and you guys are our family." Eli said. "Yeah. And there's still plenty of evil out there who're gonna try to usurp Blakk now that he's gone." Fareeda added. "Speaking of which, we should probably hold off on the hug fest." Eli said, feeling the ground shaking.
Just then, Vinedrill tendrils shot out of the ground and then Blite came out, riding a Dino Beast. He then took aim at the gang with a low growl. The gang loaded their blasters. "As I always said, slugs before hugs." Pronto said. The gang all charged towards Blite. Eli slung Burpy right towards the brutal slinger.
Meanwhile, in Stalagmite 17, where the last of Blakk's forces were taken, Dred was inside a medical room being outfitted into a suit. He watched as a mechanical mask was being lowered and placed on his burnt face. As the completing helmet was placed on, Dred started to breath mechanically. The medics brought Dred on his stretcher to his cell. They turned his stretcher to the cell door and exited before the guards closed the cell. Using what vocal strength he had while recovering, he managed to whisper a single word. "Shane."
Wow! Wasn't that amazing?! The Shane Gang has finally defeated Dr. Blakk and the Darkbane, and saved Slugterra. And to everyone's surprise, Eli and Harley have sealed the Drop. But this is not the final chapter. There is but one more that will end this story with a bang. Leave a review if you want.
