Return of the Elementals Pt 3
(Intro)
Eli, Harley, Junjie and Yu Jie continued to fall down the tunnel. In the process, Yu Jie accidently bumped into Eli, making him lose Quake. "NO!" Eli shouted as Quake's barrel fell. He then dived down and grabbed the barrel. "I got him, guys!" He called.
"Quickly! Retrieve the Elementals!" Blakk ordered. The Darkbane and their Eels dived after the champions. "And I want the Shane brothers ALIVE!"
As they continued falling, Eli and Junjie slung Spinner and Zhīzhū. But they bounced off each other before they could reach velocity and landed on a nearby cliff. "Junjie, we have to work together with Eli and Harley." Yu Jie said. "She's right. Let's try it again. But next time-" Eli tried to say. But suddenly, ghouls were shot right past them. The 4 looked up to see the Darkbane and their Eels chasing them. Junjie slung one of his slugs at them, but the Darkbane dodged it and continued. Suddenly, several slugs were slung upwards, striking the Darkbane and their Eels. The Shane Gang were flying up the tunnel…wearing jetpacks! "Jetpacks! Made to order!" Kord exclaimed happily. "And made out of our mecha beasts." Trixie said. "Even we're impressed." Daichi said. Kord caught Eli. Joshwa caught Harley. Rune caught Junjie. Naoki tried to catch Yu Jie, but he missed her. "NO!" He cried. "Do not worry, Yu Jie! Pronto will rescue you!" Pronto boasted. But then, Yu Jie landed on his face.
"What happened?" Aerona asked. "They got the Fire Elemental." Eli said. "And we lost Burpy, Hestia, Joo-Joo and Towa." Harley said. "Yeah, we knew you would need our help when all of our fire slugs suddenly turned ghoul." Kord said. "We need to get Joo-Joo, Hestia, Towa and Burpy back. But it's not gonna be easy." Junjie said. Everyone looked up to see Blakk, the Goons, the Dark Slinger and the Darkbane coming down after them on their Eels. "Go! Go! GO!" Eli shouted. The gang flew down the tunnel. "There! We can lose them in the tunnel!" Eli called, pointing to another tunnel in the wall. The gang flew toward the tunnel, but the Darkbane continued to chase them and fire their ghouls.
Up ahead, Eli saw a fork in the tunnel. "Split up!" He called. Everyone split up and each flew down one of the 2 tunnels. Eli, Harley, Kord, Mario, Lash, Dana, Fareeda, Kala, Barry, Joshwa, Itsuki and Satoshi flew down the left tunnel. Trixie, Pronto, Vance, Shimei, Watts, Aerona, Paulina, Rune, Deagan, Junjie, Yu Jie, Daichi and Naoki flew down the right tunnel. The 4 Darkbane also split up to capture them. Down the left tunnel, Eli slung Buzzsaw at the 2 Darkbane, but the Darkbane dodged the Thresher. Just then, the right team regrouped with their friends. Junjie slung his Polero, Jai, knocking both Darkbane off their Eels with Bolorino. But suddenly, Kord's jetpack started to run out of power. "These jetpacks don't have much juice left." He said. Eli looked back as 3 more Darkbane continued to chase them. "Harley, Josh, give us some cover!" Eli called. Harley slung his Tazerling, Bolt, and Joshwa slung Grine. Grine bashed one Darkbane while Bolt latched onto the second one and shocked him with Tazercoil. Unfortunately, Bolt landed on the Eel that the Darkbane was riding and the last Darkbane was coming up on him.
Just then, all the gang's jetpacks were starting to short out. "Losing power!" Pronto called. Harley looked back and saw that the Darkbane was about to grab Bolt. He slung Webs, giving him a web string. She then wrapped her web around a column. "Thanks for the lift." Harley said before letting go of Joshwa and swinging on the web back towards the Eels. He grabbed Bolt and kicked the Darkbane off, mounting the Eel. "Good job back there, Bolt." He said as Wizard popped up on his shoulder. 'Yes. Very good job.' Wizard said. But just then, Blakk, the Goons and the Dark Slinger caught up, surrounded Harley and reached out to grab Wizard. Just then, Harley saw a column coming up. Then he closed his eyes and started to concentrate. Then his entire body started to glow in a red aura. Then he leapt off the Eel, sending it crashing into the wall, then he turned around, gave a shout and fired a red beam from his eyes, destroying the column and causing a cave-in before he was caught by Joshwa, trapping Blakk, the Goons and the Dark Slinger.
The gang's jetpacks had finally run out of power and they crash landed into a dark jungle. As everybody recovered, Pronto spat out clumps of dirt. "Well, that's it for the jetpacks." Trixie said. "Hopefully, that won't be the last time we use them. That was actually fun." Naoki said. His brothers nodded in agreement. "Pronto, have we been here before?" Eli asked, getting a strong feeling of déjà vu. "Hmm. Let's see here." Pronto looked at a map of the 99 Caverns. "Ah! Yes, of course! Accounting by the height from which we fell, and the various twists in the tunnel, I would calculate that we have landed precisely in the neighborhood of-" "We're in the Jungle Cavern." Kord interrupted. "We're in the Jungle Cavern." Pronto grumbled. "Jungle Cavern? This is where we found Mo." Harley said. "But it's been ghouled." Kord said, gesturing to all the dark foliage. "Another cavern lost to the ghouled Elementals." Trixie said angrily. "This is what's going to happen to all of Slugterra if Blakk and the Goons get all the Elementals." Eli said as Doc hopped into his hand and started crying. 'I feel your pain, Doc. I can't even imagine the horrors if you or Quake or possibly even me and my friends get ghouled too.' Wizard said.
Just then, the clog was getting bashed from the other side. "They'll break through the clog in moments. We have to get Air, Water and Fire, and cure them." Junjie said. "But how? Even with our new powers, we can't risk losing any of the other Elementals or even ourselves." Harley said. "But we have Doc. The Energy Elemental is the key. One shot. If we can shoot Doc at Blakk's Elementals, we win." Eli said. "Let's hope so. Because if you miss, the Energy Elemental will be Blakk's and the world as we know it will be lost." Junjie said.
Meanwhile, Blakk, the Dark Slinger and the Darkbane continued their assault on the clog, firing ghouls at it. "Why didn't we just do away with the Shanes while we had our chance?!" The Goon asked furiously. "They have the last 7 Elementals! And you said so that they're possibly the Aether and Nether Elementals. We need only take the 7 and have them turn themselves over to us, and our plan is complete." Blakk said. "We can care less if those 2 are the Aether and Nether Elementals! Eliminating them gives us the same results!" The She-Goon exclaimed. "Yes. Slugterra would no longer be under the protection of the Shanes. And we would already be in power!" The Goon exclaimed. "Let me be clear. If they are the 2 human Elementals, Eli and Harley stay alive to see our total victory. We do as we agreed!" Blakk exclaimed as he fired his ghouls from his gattler.
Once they broke through, the gang prepared for their attack. "Here they come." Eli said, eyeing the ghouled Elementals in Blakk's right canister. "Cover me. I'm gonna try and get a clean shot at Blakk." The gang charged into the fight as the Darkbane started firing. The gang all started firing what's left of their slugs, but the Darkbane fired back, knocking down the slugs and separating them from Eli. Eli took cover as he prepared Doc. The Darkbane continued firing, blasting Pronto away. Once Blakk, the Goons and the Dark Slinger got into view, Eli took aim towards Blakk. "Almost." "The shot must be perfect!" Junjie exclaimed. "He's right, Eli! Don't shoot if there's a chance of a miss!" Harley called. "Almost." As Eli was nearing the perfect shot, a Darkbane flew in the way. Eli pulled back as Blakk, the Goons and the Dark Slinger flew past.
Just then, Blakk loaded and slung the ghouled Air Elemental. As it hit the ground near the gang, it created a large portal into the Deep Caverns. The gang all started getting sucked down into the growing vortex. Blakk and the Goons chuckled as they watched.
Meanwhile, at the King of Sling's house, Eliza was still pondering her concerns about Eli and Harley and the others. 'I hope their okay. The caverns are growing darker and darker.' She thought. Just then, she started to feel a great pain in her stomach. Bella, who was lying next to her, growled with concern. "Bella…I think I'm going into labor! Get Frederick and Arianna! NOW!" Eliza shouted in pain. Bella ran into the other room to get the King and Arianna as Eliza laid back on the couch. Bella quickly came in with the King and Arianna, and helped Eliza to her feet carefully. "Easy, ma'am. We're gonna get you to the hospital." The King said. "Just breathe, Eliza. Just breathe." Arianna advised as she held Eliza carefully. As the King and his wife helped Eliza out of the house, a few people of Gateway Cavern helped them too as they carefully took Eliza to the hospital. "Eli…Harley…" She said in pain.
Meanwhile, the gang struggled against the pull of the portal. "Can't…hang…on!" Kord cried as he struggled. Just then, Eli got an idea. He slammed his fist into the ground. And suddenly, a crystal pole shot out of the ground. Everyone quickly grabbed hold of it as it pulled them out of the pit and set them back down on the ground. "Nice work, Eli." Aerona said. "Well, I could've done that!" Pronto exclaimed. "Uh, no, you couldn't." Harley said. Pronto was about to say something, but then he quickly shut his mouth, knowing Harley was right.
Just then, the Darkbane came back around and started firing at the gang again. The gang quickly took cover. "We're trapped!" Trixie exclaimed. "And we're pretty much out of slugs!" Dana exclaimed. The Darkbane prepared to keep firing. "STOP! Hold your fire!" Blakk ordered. "ELI! HARLEY! The battle is over! I know that you have the other Elementals! And I know that you both are the Aether and Nether Elementals! You can't win! Give it up!" "What're we gonna do? We can't just give ourselves and the Elementals up." Harley whispered. "Wait! I have an idea." Kala whispered. "What is it?" Eli asked. "What if Lila disguises herself as Quake to distract them?" Kala asked, holding up Lila, using her illusions to disguise herself as Quake. "Hey. Great idea. Follow my lead." Eli said. Then he, Harley and Kala came out into view. "Hey, Blakk! You want Quake?! Well, go and get him!" Kala loaded the disguised Lila into her blaster and slung her, sending her deep into the jungle. "The Earth Elemental! Hurry!" Blakk ordered as he, the Goons and the Dark Slinger flew after the slug.
Lila landed near a tree. And as soon as Blakk, the Goons and the Dark Slinger caught up with her, she dropped her illusion to reveal her little trick. "It's just a Thugglet! We've been tricked!" Blakk snarled. Suddenly, the Dark Slinger slung a ghoul at Blakk, knocking him off his Eel. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Blakk exclaimed in anger as he drew his gattler, but the Dark Slinger's Eel swatted it and the ghouled Fire Elemental's barrel aside. "We've played it your way far too long!" The Goon exclaimed. "Yes. Our patience with you has dimmed out, Blakk!" The She-Goon exclaimed. The Eel picked up the Fire Elemental and handed it to the Dark Slinger. "It's time to do away with the Shane Brothers once and for all!" The Goon exclaimed. Blakk snarled as the Goons and the Dark Slinger flew away.
Meanwhile, the gang watched as the vortex was getting bigger. "Slugterra is literally sinking before our eyes." Eli said. "And getting the 12 Elementals together is the only way to stop this." Harley said. "Okay. Lay it on me, bros." Kord said. "Yeah, what's the plan?" Dana asked. "You guys keep the Goons and the Darkbane occupied. Pronto, you lure Blakk away from the Darkbane. Junjie, Yu Jie and the Fuurins, we need you guys to take him off his Eel and keep him still so Harley and I can hit him with Doc and cure the remaining Elementals." Eli explained. "Perfect. Everyone got it?" Harley asked. "Got it!" Everyone cheered.
The Dark Slinger and the Darkbane started shooting their ghouls at the gang. Blakk heard Pronto shriek and saw him running with Eli's backpack. He chuckled, figuring that Quake, Doc, Wizard and the other 4 Elementals were inside the pack. "Why is always Pronto who is the bait?!" Pronto complained in worry as he continued running while Blakk pursued him.
The gang took cover and started firing their slugs at the Goons and the Darkbane. Just then, Kord picked up the Fire Elemental's signal on his scanner. "Wait a second. Didn't Eli say 'Blakk' has all the Elementals?" He asked. "Doesn't he?" Trixie asked. "My scanner says the Goons got one." Kord said. Dana looked through her binoculars, focusing on the Dark Slinger's belt, and saw that he had the Fire Elemental. "You're right! They have the Fire Elemental!" She exclaimed. "Which means…" Kord started to say. "Eli's shot isn't going to work!" Trixie exclaimed. "Aerona, we have to stop Blakk from reaching Eli and Harley." Kord said. "Right. Let's go!" Aerona exclaimed as she and Kord rushed out from their cover.
Meanwhile, Junjie, Yu Jie and the Fuurins took position on top of a mushroom. "Okay, Pronto. It's all on you." Junjie said. Just then, Naoki noticed Kord and Aerona coming their way. "Hey, what're Kord and Aerona doing here?" He asked. Suddenly, a Darkbane swooped in on an Eel and snagged Kord. "Kord!" Aerona cried. "I'm okay, Aerona! Stop Blakk from reaching Eli and Harley!" Kord called as the Darkbane carried him away. Junjie and Yu Jie got curious. 'Why would Kord want to stop Blakk from reaching Eli and Harley? Unless his scanner must've noticed…Oh no!' They thought as they realized.
Meanwhile, Trixie slung Tricky, knocking 2 Darkbane off their Eels. "Guys! A little help!" Kord called. "I got you, Kord!" Deagan called, slinging Turf and hitting the Eel, making it let go of Kord. "Nice shot, bro." Dana said. "Comes with practice." Deagan said, fist bumping his sister. "No!" Trixie cried as the Goons and their Dark Slinger flew away, cackling.
"Get ready, Junjie!" Pronto called as he was approaching Junjie, Yu Jie and the Fuurins. But then Aerona rushed over and leapt onto Blakk's Eel. "Aerona! That is not the plan! I'm totally squealing to Eli and Harley!" Pronto shouted before running off to Eli and Harley. Then Junjie rushed off. "Junjie, where are you going?!" Itsuki asked. "I gotta save Aerona!" Junjie called as he continued after Blakk and Aerona.
Nearby, Eli and Harley got ready to sling Doc. "Abort! ABORT!" Pronto shouted as he came into view. "That's not Dr. Blakk!" Eli exclaimed. "Pronto, what's going on?!" Harley asked. "Aerona came out of nowhere and ruined the plan!" Pronto exclaimed. "I'm going to get the others!" Then he took off screaming. Eli and Harley growled at their plan failing.
Aerona and Blakk struggled against each other. "You know, I was hoping I'd get a chance to get my revenge from when you shoved me down my Terraportal, Garcia!" Blakk exclaimed as he knocked Aerona down. "And I guess today's my lucky day!" Aerona braced herself as Blakk got ready to crush her. Just then, Junjie landed nearby and slung Zhīzhū, creating a web line that clotheslined Blakk off his Eel and saved Aerona.
"Aerona, what have you done?! This is all wrong!" Eli exclaimed angrily as he and Harley climbed down. "Very wrong indeed!" The Goon exclaimed as the Dark Slinger slung the Fire Elemental, much to the Shane brothers' surprise. They managed to dodge the ghoul's attack, but Doc was knocked away. "Brother! The Healer!" The She-Goon exclaimed. Doc gasped as he saw that he was in the Dark Slinger's line of fire. "You're ours now!" The Goon exclaimed as he transformed back into a slug and hopped into the Dark Slinger's blaster. "Doc!" Eli cried, seeing the Dark Slinger take aim at Doc. Not having any other choice, he loaded Quake and slung him as the Dark Slinger fired the Goon, blocking his Dark Energy attack with a rock wall. Quake and the Goon prepared to standoff, giving Doc the chance to flee. Then the 2 slugs charged towards each other, but the Goon veered off and hit Quake with his Dark Energy attack, ghouling the poor Earth Elemental. Nearby, Junjie and Aerona saw this and it had caused all their earth slugs to turn into ghouls.
"Uh oh!" Kord exclaimed with worry as Pincer turned into a ghoul. "Webby!" Dana cried as her precious Webby turned into a ghoul. "Eli and Harley must've somehow lost Quake!" Trixie exclaimed. Meanwhile, across the caverns, including Undertow, Quartermain and Quiet Lawn, all of Slugterra started to shake and rumble like a giant earthquake. "Yes! It's happening!" Blakk exclaimed excitedly. The Goons cackled as they picked up Quake. "We have 4 of the 12 Elementals now, Shanes!" The Goon exclaimed."Yes. Slugterra is almost ours!" The She-Goon exclaimed. The Dark Slinger slung a ghoul at Eli and Harley, but they dodged it, fled and went into hiding.
Meanwhile, as Aerona, Junjie, Yu Jie and the Fuurins regrouped with the rest of the gang, Trixie slung Zaps, shocking an incoming Darkbane with Tazercoil. "HELP!" Pronto screamed as another Darkbane chased him on its Eel. Kord slung another slug, knocking the Darkbane and the Eel down. "Eli and Harley are in trouble! It was Aerona's fault! She interfered and now-" Pronto tried to exclaim. "Relax, Pronto. It was me. I told Aerona to stop Blakk because he doesn't have all the Elementals." Kord said. "And I'm afraid to say that I lost him and the Elementals. But he would've taken his revenge and smashed me into paste if Junjie hadn't saved me." Aerona said. "I had to. Because you were right. All of you were right." Junjie said as the gang all looked at him. "I'm sorry my thirst for vengeance and my actions were costing us the Elementals. We lost Air, Water and Fire because of my actions. And I felt pity for Joshwa about what he said about how he lost his arm." Junjie explained. "It's okay, Junjie. You're doing exactly what the team needs now." Trixie said. "Yeah. We've all done things in the past we're not proud of doing." Dana said. "But we've all managed to put it behind us and look to who we are now." Mario said. "If we hadn't, we wouldn't be the team we are now." Kala said. "Eli and Harley were right. We need you, buddy. Come here, don't leave a teammate hanging." Kord said, holding up his fist for Junjie to fist bump. "And I'm glad that you admitted your vengeance was wrong." Aerona said. "And thanks for saving me from Blakk." She then gave Junjie a kiss on the cheek, making him blush hard.
Meanwhile, the Goons and the Dark Slinger were searching for Eli and Harley as they hid nearby. "We sense that you boys are close." The Goon said as they searched. "And it's pointless when you're hiding." The She-Goon added. "Harley, you deal with the Dark Slinger. I'll handle the Goons." Eli whispered. "Right. Do your thing, bro." Harley whispered, fist bumping his brother. "Who says we're hiding?" Eli asked, getting the villains' attention. Then he motioned his hand and created a crystal wall, separating the Goons from the Dark Slinger. The Goons growled as they turned to face Eli. "Big mistake." The Goon said. "You've just sealed your fate." The She-Goon said. "And you've sealed yours." Eli said, preparing to fight.
On the other side of the wall, the Dark Slinger tried breaking the wall by pounding on it to no avail. But then he turned to see Harley slinging Lucky. But he dodged the Hexlet and slung a Harmashelt. Harley ducked out of the way as the ghoul it a mushroom. "Listen to me! The Goons are controlling you! You've got to break free of their control!" He exclaimed, trying to get through to the Dark Slinger. But he wouldn't listen and fired a Grimmstone. Harley rolled out of the way before the ghoul could hit him. Just then, Wizard hopped up onto his shoulder. 'Harley, sling me at the Dark Slinger. Perhaps I can get into his head and break the Goons' control over him.' He said. "Okay, Wizard. I trust you." Harley said. Wizard hopped into the blaster and Harley slung him at the Dark Slinger. Wizard clamped onto the Dark Slinger's head and started using his psychic powers on his mind. His eye from his forehead glowed as his powers started slowly breaking the Goons' control over the Dark Slinger, who had started screaming in pain from Wizard's powers. Within seconds, Wizard had successfully broken the Goons' control over the Dark Slinger, who fell unconscious after Wizard hopped off of him. Quake and the Fire Elemental hopped out of their barrels, having been cured after the Goons' control was broken. Burpy and Hestia landed nearby, having been cured as well. 'Are you alright, my old friends?'Wizard asked. Quake and the Fire Elemental chittered, saying that they were fine. Harley walked up to the Dark Slinger's body, knelt down and removed his helmet to reveal the Dark Slinger's face. He was shocked at what he saw. "Dad?! It…It can't be!" He exclaimed in shock. The Dark Slinger was revealed to be…Will Shane.
Meanwhile, Eli was in trouble as he fought the Goons. The She-Goon managed to knock Eli's blaster away while her brother kicked him off his feet. Eli tried to reach for his blaster, but the Goons blocked him. "We know you have the other Elementals somewhere, Eli! Including the Energy Elemental! We scoured Quiet Lawn Cavern looking for it and it was nowhere to be found!" The She-Goon exclaimed. "Yes! And we also know that you and your brother are the Aether and Nether Elementals! That means you and Harley will soon be corrupted just like the other 4!" The Goon exclaimed. "How did you even know where to look?! You 2 hacked into my father's hologram, didn't you?!" Eli asked angrily. "Hologram?! No, you fool! We simply hacked into the real thing." The Goon said. "Yes. Our new Dark Slinger had all the information we needed to find the Elementals." The She-Goon said. Eli started to put it all together. "The Dark Slinger…Dad!" He exclaimed in shock.
The Goons started to use their powers to try and corrupt Eli's mind. Eli screamed in pain as their dark energies entered his head. "Yes! You remember what it was like the first time I was in your head, don't you?!" The Goon asked. "And once we're both in your head, you will be ours again, Aether Elemental!" The She-Goon exclaimed. But suddenly, Eli was soon covered in a blue aura, blocking out the Goons' powers. "And you remember how I got you out of my head the first time, right?" Eli asked. The Goons were shocked by this. Eli was protecting his mind with his Aether powers. Then he fired a blue energy beam of his Aether magic, hitting the She-Goon. She screamed as she started to glow brightly. As the bright glow died down, in her place was a cured Boon Doc. The Goon looked down at his sister in shock at what happened to her. "You…You cured her! You broke her curse! How is this possible?! Our master placed a curse on us when he ghouled us so we could never be cured!" He exclaimed.
Before he could do anything, Harley and Will, having regained consciousness, leapt over the crystal wall and slung a couple of slugs at him, knocking him off his feet. "Dad!" Eli exclaimed in shock as he saw his father. "I…I couldn't believe it. You were the Dark Slinger." "It's alright, Eli. I'm okay now." Will said, comforting his son. "Yeah. Wizard managed to break the Goons' control over him and managed to cure Quake and the Fire Elemental too." Harley said as Doc, Quake, Wizard and the Fire Elemental hopped over. Eli picked up Doc and Quake while Harley picked up Wizard. "Glad to see you're okay too, little guy." Eli said, looking at the Fire Elemental, who chittered happily. "How about I call you…Flares?" Eli asked. The slug chittered happily at that name. "Looks like he likes it, bro." Harley said. 'Indeed, he does.' Wizard said. Will chuckled at the slug naming habit Eli and Harley had inherited from him. The cured She-Goon watched this display from afar with interest.
But suddenly, as Flares hopped into Eli's hand, everyone was blasted down by a ghoul. They looked up to see Blakk. "Not so fast!" Blakk exclaimed. Eli and Harley glared as Blakk hopped off his Eel and walked over to them. Burpy and Hestia quickly hopped over to Will. "Turn yourselves and your Elementals over, boys." Blakk demanded, taking aim at Eli and Harley with his gattler. Will stood up and twirled his blaster as Burpy hopped in. He slung Burpy, knocking Blakk down. Then Burpy turned around as his fire turned blue and picked up Eli and Will. "Come on, little She-Goon. We gotta fly." Harley said as he picked up the cured She-Goon and slung Hestia, hopping on her and following Eli, Will and Burpy.
The Goon was not pleased by this. He walked over to Blakk, changed back into a slug and attempted to use his powers on him. "Stop it! This was not our plan!" Blakk exclaimed. "The plan has changed! If you and I can see eye to eye, perhaps we can see mind to mind." The Goon said.
Meanwhile, Eli and Harley helped their father as they regrouped with the others. "Guys!" Eli called. The gang turned to see them as Will was rested against a mushroom. "Burpy and Hestia are back!" Kord cheered. "Yes!" Trixie cheered. "What a relief." Fareeda said. Then, a cured Joo-Joo and Towa hopped back to Junjie and Yu Jie too. "Glad you are safe, Joo-Joo." Junjie said. "Towa! You're okay!" Yu Jie cried as Towa nuzzled her cheek.
"Eli, Harley, is this…" Kord started to ask. "Can't be!" Trixie exclaimed in shock. "That's impossible!" Joshwa exclaimed. The rest of the gang were all just as shocked. "So, uh, who's the hobo?" Pronto asked, not recognizing Will. "Watch it, mole!" Harley exclaimed in annoyance. "Dad, you okay?" Eli asked with concern. "Dad?! It is!" Pronto exclaimed when he realized. Burpy chittered. "Hello, old friend." Will said, greeting Burpy. "I'm fine. But Eli, Harley, the future of Slugterra is at stake. You must-" "We know." Eli interrupted. "What do you think we've been doing all day?" Harley asked. "Quickly. Fill me in." Will said. "We've got 8 Elementals, the Goon and Blakk have got 2." Eli said. "The good news is…" "You've got the Energy Elemental." Will said. "Say hello, Doc." Eli said. Doc waved to Will. "And even better news. Harley and I are the Aether and Nether Elementals." Eli said. Will was shocked to hear that his own sons are the new Aether and Nether Elementals. But he shook it off as Doc hopped onto his shoulder. "Well, come on then. We can't waste time. We can catch them by surprise." He said. "You heard the man! Come on!" Eli called.
Meanwhile, Blakk was still struggling against the Goon's attempts to take control of his mind. "It's no use! You are mine now!" The Goon exclaimed. "You…Can't…" Blakk tried to say, but he screamed as his mind faded into nothing as the Goon finally took control of him. "Now let's finish this!" The Goon exclaimed as he mounted his Eel. "Regroup! Keep your eyes peeled! They can't have gone far!" The gang watched from nearby as the Goon and the Darkbane flew off. "We're too late!" Trixie exclaimed. "And to make things worse, the Goon's taken over Blakk's mind." Joshwa said. "What's the plan, boss?" Watts asked. "We gotta try the same as before. Lure him into the line of fire so I can shoot him with Doc." Eli said. "It's a long shot, but it's the best we've got." Harley said. "And this time around, we've got 3 Shanes. Right, Dad?" Eli asked. "Let's do it." Will said in agreement. The others were star struck. "Will Shane just said 'Let's do it.'" Kord said. "It's like I'm living in a dream come true." Mario said. Pronto squealed before fainting. "So, here's what we need to do." Eli said, huddling up the gang.
Later, the gang did exactly the same thing as they tried to do earlier. Trixie, Kord and the others took out the Darkbane. As the gang slung their slugs to take down the Darkbane, Trixie slung Rocks, knocking one of the Darkbane off its Eel. And then Kord leapt for the other Darkbane, shoving him off his Eel. Then Pronto started shouting, getting the Goon's attention. Then as Pronto got the Goon to start chasing him, Junjie, Yu Jie and the Fuurins took careful aim from their positions and slung their slugs, knocking the Goon off his Eel. "Ready?" Will asked. "Ready." Eli said as he loaded Doc. "Let's do this." Harley said. The Darkbane started chasing the Shanes while slinging their ghouls. Eli slung Rammer, giving him, Harley and Will cover. "GET THEM!" The Goon ordered. More Darkbane chased after the Shanes.
Eli, Harley and Will came up towards the portal. "Split up. You 2 can take position on the other side of the sinkhole." Will said. Eli and Harley headed towards the portal. But just then, Will got confronted and held at gattler point by the Goon. "It seems I spent so much time in your mind, Will Shane, that I can anticipate your moves." The Goon said. "We'll see." Will said as he prepared his standoff. The Goon fired a Hop Jack. But Will managed to dodge the ghoul and slung his Sand Angler. But the Goon blocked it with Blakk's monstrous arm and slung another ghoul, destroying Will's blaster. The Goon fired one more Hop Jack to end Will for good. Will braced for the impact, but the Hop Jack was suddenly stopped in midair. "What?!" The Goon asked in shock. Yu Jie was revealed to be holding the ghoul in place with her Slug Fu. "Now, boys!" Will called. Eli slung Doc at the Goon and Blakk. As Doc hit Blakk, the Goon was blown off Blakk and began to shrivel up and weaken. The Air and Water Elementals were then cured and happily hopped out of their barrels. Yu Jie then rotated the Hop Jack and hit Blakk with it, sending him down into the portal. "Yes!" Eli cheered. "Sweet dreams, Blakk!" Harley cheered.
The Darkbane's ghouls were also cured and hopped out of their blasters. The gang all took aim at the Darkbane. Seeing that they were defeated, the Darkbane retreated in defeat. The gang all cheered at the success of their mission as their cured slugs returned to them. "Great shot, Eli." Will said as he picked up Doc and the other Elementals. "Thanks, Dad." Eli said. "We get them all?" Harley asked as Wizard, Thunderbird, Glace, Gaia and Toxiana popped out. "All 10. Including you 2." Will said, holding out the Elementals. Water and Air hopped up. "Now it's time to name you 2. How about we call you…Torrent?" Eli asked. The Water Elemental chittered happily. "And I think we'll call you…Sora." Eli said. The Air Elemental chittered happily. "But now to save Slugterra and reverse the damage, we need to sling all 10 simultaneously, and the Aether and Nether Elementals need to meditate to focus their powers and spread them throughout Slugterra to restore it." Will explained. But then, he noticed Pronto walking up to him. "I've met you before. You were part of my old team. It's…Pinto, right?" He asked, shaking Pronto's hand. "Oh no. Pinto is my identical twin brother." Pronto said. "Twin brother?!" Kord asked in shock. "It's true." Harley said.
But suddenly, the gang failed to notice that Blakk had climbed out of the sinkhole, walked up to the weakened Goon and picked him up. "I'd rather watch you shrivel and rive. But we have a job to do." Blakk said, healing the Goon by giving him ghoul energy. "Let's do this!" The Goon exclaimed. The gang turned to see as Blakk loaded the Goon into his gattler and took aim at the Shane brothers and the Elementals. "Take the shot, Blakk! Shoot! SHOOT!" The Goon ordered. Blakk fired the Goon. "Eli! Harley!" Will cried. But suddenly, a young woman appeared in front of the Shane brothers and caught the Goon, who was shocked by this sudden appearance. "What?! Who are you?! How dare you interrupt us!" The Goon exclaimed. The woman didn't say anything. Instead, she started draining most of the Goon's ghoul energy, thus breaking his curse. He screamed in pain as he transformed back into a normal Boon Doc. But he was also left very weak and dying. The woman tossed the former Goon aside like a piece of trash and then she started choking Blakk with telekinesis, lifting him up into the air. The gang watched as the woman threw Blakk back down the sinkhole, sending him back into the Deep Caverns.
The woman began to walk away. "Wait!" Eli called, stopping her. "Who are you? What did you do to Blakk and the Goon?" He asked. "You may call me Heltora." The woman, Heltora, introduced. "Dr. Blakk and the Goon were nothing but fools for losing to you and your gang. I've been watching the whole thing." The gang was shocked to hear this. That she had been watching them the whole time. "Are you here to take the Elementals?" Harley asked. "Humph. I'm no interested in them. They are nothing but toys to play with." Heltora said, insultingly. "I have no time to chat. I have business attend to." She started walking away. "Hey! Wait!" Eli called as he chased her. But she disappeared into a black fog and teleported away. "Who was that woman?" Kord asked. "She's probably an enemy. After what she did to Blakk and the Goon, not to mention insulting the Elementals." Trixie said. Eli, however, continued to stare at where Heltora disappeared. He felt like he had some kind of connection with her.
The former She-Goon hopped over to her dying brother, chittering with worry. He was close to death's door after being drained of so much energy. The gang gathered around them. "She drained most of the Goon's energy. He won't survive much longer." Kord said. "Don't worry. I can help him." Barry said as he picked up the former Goon and used his healing powers to cure him. And in just a few seconds, the former Goon was restored. The former She-Goon was happy that her brother was alright and hugged him, which he hugged her back. But then the slugs started feeling guilty after everything they've done to Junjie and Yu Jie. Especially for trying to destroy Slugterra. "Hey, it's okay, little guys. We know that you've suffered from your curses for a long time." Eli said. "We all have at some time." Harley said. The gang all nodded in agreement. The former Goons looked up to Junjie and Yu Jie, who each smiled with and held out their hands. The former Goons happily hopped into their hands and onto their shoulders next to Joo-Joo and Towa. But then Eli knew it was time to restore the damage done to Slugterra. "Alright team. Let's load them up." He said.
Eli loaded Doc. Kord loaded Torrent. Trixie loaded Sora. Pronto loaded Quake. Junjie loaded Flares. Harley loaded Wizard. Aerona loaded Gaia. Yu Jie loaded Toxiana. Joshwa loaded Thunderbird. And Will loaded Glace. Together, they slung all 10 Elementals at the same time. As all 10 slugs transformed and flew off, Eli and Harley sat down and began to meditate, concentrating their Elemental energies to restore Slugterra. The 10 Elementals flew across the caverns, from Undertow to Quiet Lawn, where Red Hook, Laura, Shorty, Goggles and the townspeople cheered. And finally, the combined energies restored all of Slugterra. The 10 Elementals then returned to the gang. Eli and Harley got back up as the Elementals landed on their shoulders. "The Shane Gang just saved Slugterra." Eli said. "And now all of us…" The gang all put their hands in. Junjie, Yu Jie and the Fuurins did the same. Finally, Will put his on top. "…are gonna keep it that way." Eli finished.
"Guys, I just got a call from my parents." Barry said as they broke off. "Eli, Harley, your mother went into labor." That shocked the gang. "We gotta get to Gateway Cavern Hospital! Now!" Eli exclaimed. "Eliza's pregnant again?!" Will asked in shock. "But how are we gonna get to Gateway Cavern? We dismantled our mechas to build those jetpacks." Kord said. "Oh, we've got a way." Dana said as she and Rune brought out their Shadow Walkers. Everyone took ahold of the Walkers and teleported them through the shadows.
They reappeared in Gateway Cavern. "Come on! We gotta head for the hospital! Follow me!" Barry called, leading the gang to the hospital. Once they got there, the doctor directed them to Eliza's room. But Will decided that he didn't want his wife to see him looking like a walking junkyard. The working doctors and nurses all muttered in shock to see Will Shane alive as he walked into the restroom.
Once the gang reached the right room, where the King, Arianna and all the pets were waiting outside of it, Eli and Harley walked in to see their mother on the hospital bed with a bundle in her arms. She had already given birth to her third child. "Eli. Harley. You're both okay." Eliza said happily. "We were gonna say the same thing." Eli said. "Please, come and meet your new baby sister." Eliza said. Eli and Harley walked up to their mother and took a look at their new baby sister. She was the cutest, most beautiful thing they had ever seen. Harley felt like crying. "What's her name?" Eli asked. "Xantara Shane, named after my late mother. We're calling her Xana for short." Eliza said. "A beautiful name for our beautiful new little sister." Eli said. "You said it." Harley said.
Just then, Eli turned to see Trixie knocking at the door. "He's waiting." Trixie said. "And, Mom, we actually have a surprise for you." Eli said. "What is it?" Eliza asked. "We'll let him answer that." Harley said. And then, Will walked in, having shaved off his beard and slightly cut his long hair. "Will?! You're alive?!" Eliza gasped in shock. "Yes, my love. Alive and back with my family." Will said as he walked up to his wife. Eliza carefully brought her husband into a tightly relieved and emotional hug and then into an equally emotional kiss. Eli and Harley felt like crying, seeing their parents reunited after so many years. After they broke apart, Will looked down at his new daughter. "Is that her?" He asked. "Yes, my love. Meet Xana, our new daughter." Eliza said. And one by one, each of the gang walked in one at a time to meet little Xana and congratulate Eliza on the newest addition to their family.
Wow! That was intense! And very beautiful in the ending! The Shane Gang has successfully gathered the 10 Elementals together, along with Eli and Harley as the Aether and Nether Elementals, and have stopped Blakk and the Goons from taking Slugterra! And to top it off, Eliza had finally given birth to Eli and Harley's new little sister, Xantara 'Xana' Shane. But who is Heltora? Why did she help the gang? What are her plans? Why does Eli have some kind of connection with her? Leave a review if you'd like.
But don't worry. This is not the final chapter. Like in Ghouls from Beyond, there is still one short chapter left. And trust me. It's gonna be heartwarming. And you readers will not be disappointed.
