It a was a new day at Canterlot High as Luke was searching through the halls for any sign of the energy he saw.
Walking into the library Luke scanned along the bookshelves for anything. Opening one he saw a design of what they thought was below them.
"Hey Burpy, look what people think Slugterra actually is." Luke chuckles as Burpy laughs as well as a picture of layers of rocks.
As they walked out Luke's Geoshard popped its head out. Curious about the new surroundings he hops out of the backpack and down the hall.
Turning around Burpy gasps and pulls Luke's ear to get his attention.
"Ow! Ow! Ow! Burpy what the heck is wrong with you?" Luke asks holding his ear in pain.
Burpy chirps frantically as he points down the hall to see the Geoshard hoping down the halls causing Luke's eyes to widen.
"Crystal get back here!" Luke yells running after him.
As the Geoshard turned a corner and noticed Rarity by her locker fixing her hair in the little mirror she had inside.
"There we go all done." Rarity smiles when she notices the slug in corner of her mirror hopping towards her. Her eyes widen as she turns around, looking down she saw the slug waving at her and immediately Rarity lets out a scream. "Get away! Get away! Get away!"
Rarity reaches to grab one of her magazines and was about to bring it down.
"Rarity stop!" Luke said running over and grabbing his slug and ends up getting hit in the head.
"Oh, my goodness are you alright darling?" Rarity said checking him for injuries. "I swear I didn't mean to."
"It's okay, I can take a hit." Luke said shrugging it off as his Geoshard hopped into his hands. "You are in big trouble. You had me scared to death."
"Wait that's yours?" Rarity asks.
"Yeah this is Crystal." Luke said holding the slug up.
"Uh hi there." Rarity said still a little creeped out by it.
"Hey don't be scared he's gentle." Luke said.
"If you say so. Uhm what exactly is that?" Rarity asks when Fluttershy walks by and her eyes widen at the sight of the Slug.
Before Luke could answer Fluttershy rushes over and stops in front of him.
"Oh, my goodness! Who is this little cutie?" Fluttershy asks petting Crystal making him smile.
"Uh that's Crystal my uh slug." Luke said surprised by the change in Fluttershy's attitude.
"This is amazing, where did you get something like this?" Fluttershy asks.
"Well Crystal here is one of a kind there's no other thing like it in the world." Luke said.
Meanwhile inside his backpack Burpy was telling everyone to keep quiet so they didn't blow his cover.
As his Armashelt slowly makes his way to sit down sparks come out of Joltz causing him to run around screaming in pain.
Burpy tries to stop him but he smashes into him knocking them both into his Flatulorhinkus causing it to release a cloud of stink.
To avoid the smell both slugs rush to the top and jump out of Luke's backpack and onto the ground breathing in the none polluted air.
Luke, Rarity and Fluttershy's eyes widen at the sight, but Fluttershy was the only one smiling.
"One of a kind huh?" Rarity asks looking at him.
"This is so amazing." Fluttershy said picking them both up. "Oh my you two are very interesting compared to the other one." She said looking at their features.
"Yes, very interesting. Clearly these things aren't as hard to find if you have three Luke so care to explain?" Rarity asks narrowing her eyes.
A look of panic appears on Luke's face. "Uh hey what's that?!" He points.
The girls look turn their heads and Luke grabs his slugs and makes a run for it.
"Ugh I can't believe we fell for that." Rarity growled in frustration.
"I really liked those little slugs." Fluttershy said.
"Still this guy is mystery what could those things possibly be? They're not normal creatures." Rarity said when Pinkie appeared behind them.
"Well I think that Luke and those things aren't from here or Equestria. He's really someone whose family has spent a really, really, really long time protecting a special place that hardly anyone knows about and those little slugs are the key to it." Pinkie said.
Rarity and Fluttershy look at her with weird expressions their faces.
"Pinkie Pie I seriously doubt that any of that is even possible." Rarity said.
"Those little things were way too cute to be considered the key to an entire world. How did you even come up with all of that?" Fluttershy asks curious.
"Oh, just a hunch." Pinkie smiles.
"A hunch is not enough if we want answers. Ooh, I smell a case." Rarity grins reaching into her locker she pulls out a trench coat and a detective's hat. "Don't you worry your sweet red head ladies. I'll get to the bottom of this mystery in the Case of the mysterious student." She said with an accent.
As Luke made his way through the streets Rarity was watching him from around the corner.
"Alright Shane what secrets are you hiding? That logo while fabulous could be a secret cult or maybe something worse." Rarity said as Luke entered a store.
Following him Rarity saw he entered Sugar Cube Corner.
"The culprit seems to have acquired a sweet tooth…for crime." Rarity narrows her eyes.
She enters the store only to see Luke enjoying a hot fudge sundae at the counter.
"Or maybe just ice cream." She said.
Luke turns towards the door and notices her.
"Hey Rarity, what's up?" Luke said startling her.
"Uh uh nothing. I just realized I forgot something I should go." Rarity said turning around.
"Is that from Shadow Spade?" Luke asks causing her to stop in her tracks.
"You know Shadow Spade?" Rarity asks.
"Are you kidding? I love her stories all the mystery and suspense." Luke smiles causing her to come over.
"I know not to mention all the amazing costumes." Rarity smiles.
"Where'd you get that? It looks just like the real thing." Luke asks.
"I didn't buy it I made it myself." Rarity said.
"Seriously? That's amazing." Luke said.
"Hey Luke, I'm curious what does that mean?" She asks pointing to his logo.
"That's my family logo. Every Shane member has this logo on their clothes." Luke said.
"Interesting. I bet I could really make some interesting designs based off this." Rarity said.
For the next hour Luke and Rarity just talked and had a great time together.
"Well Rarity I had a fun time talking to you, maybe I could see your designs the next time." Luke said getting up.
"Absolutely." Rarity smiles as she walks out.
She takes a bite out of her ice cream when her eyes widen in realization. "I let him get away! What kind of detective losses sight of her mystery?!" She said getting the attention of the entire store.
"Uh Rarity do you mind not talking so loud?" Mrs. Cake asks.
Meanwhile at the movies Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie were in line for the 3-D movie.
"Are you sure about this movie Pinkie Pie?" Fluttershy asks.
"I've heard lots of good things about this movie Fluttershy it'll be great." Pinkie Pie said grabbing a tub of popcorn.
Entering the theater Fluttershy and Pinkie saw they were the first ones in as sat down and put on their 3-D glasses.
As the movie started everyone was eager to for what surprised would when suddenly from the shadows the Dark Clan member came out in front of them and hisses causing Fluttershy to jump in fear.
"Pinkie!" Fluttershy panics.
"I know the surround sound is amazing and the effects are absolutely incredible. Even without…the…glasses." Pinkie said taking them off only to see it wasn't a movie effect.
Both girls were about to scream when the Dark Clan member grabs them, but girls scrambled to run.
Throwing an Attacknet ghoul it shoots out a web blocking their escape.
"We're trapped!" Pinkie said.
Fluttershy looked into her backpack and took out her white rabbit Angel and pushes him through a hole in the web.
"Angel quick get out of—" Fluttershy couldn't finish as the Dark Clan grabs her and Pinkie Pie before disappearing with them both much to the bunny's horror.
Running back in Angel saw they had disappeared. Looking around frantically Angel did the only thing he could do and ran to find help.
