A new day and a new adventure. Well, if you call being woken up by a scream so high, you would immediately cover your ears then yeah, it was definitely going to be a new adventure….I was dreaming such a nice dream too.
"What's with all the screaming?!" I yelled as I went downstairs in only a tank top and a pair of shorts.
I saw Pronto standing on the table and then I saw a spider. A. Spider. I sighed as I picked it up and put it outside. I knew today was going to be a long day after that and somehow I was right. It was a long day.
Okay, let me rewind a little bit. The day began with Pronto waking me up because he screamed because of a spider. Then I decided to make breakfast for everyone and as we were eating, it turned into a food war. With. Slugs. And. BLASTERS! The kitchen and dining room were destroyed! After that, we went out to train and somehow were also pulled into a spiral of sorting out problems because of some rogue slugs. Lunch was peaceful and I enjoyed it while relaxing. Training continued and it went well. Then dinner came along and became a food war zone once again. It took me HOURS to clean it all up. I finally collapsed into bed after about eight hours of cleaning the mess. Granted, dinner was at seven and the food war lasted about an hour so I didn't get to bed until 4 in the morning.
It really was a long day. The next day was more peaceful until we found Pronto trying to put bags onto his mecha. Which then resulted in him reciting a commercial he watched and us going to something called the Slug Club.
We got a introduction to the owner and then a demonstration. Eli and I didn't think the thing was actually true though so we declined the offer for our slugs to be trained in his method. We went to check out the pool and water slide. Eli went down the water slide with his slugs. I stayed in the pool area and enjoyed a relaxing swim.
"Oh, I have been needing this.~" I said as I floated on the water on my back.
Hikari and Yami agreed while my other slugs played in the water. Well, all but Kurai. She stayed on my belly since she didn't much like water.
Just then, Sergeant Slug came and soon enough, we were watching a duel between Kord and Eli. Eli lost and I was kind of shocked at the power behind Kord's slug. I looked at Hikari and she looked at me.
"Something's not right…." She said and I nodded in agreement.
Something was definitely wrong ever since I saw Kord's slug. Eli allowed Banger to have a shot at the machine training method. I wasn't all that sure so I didn't allow any of my slugs near it.
I watched Eli and Kord talk for a bit and saw the Sergeant come up to them. I walked off just as Banger was put into the machine.
The next day, Banger was a little more….berserk and I couldn't help the feeling that this method was just more wrong. Eli said it was enough and we went inside for breakfast.
"Banger would never try to bite me. That machine makes them crazy," Eli said and I silently agreed with him.
The goth girl that was staying there too commented it on that. Eli went on to say how tired and worn out Kord's slug was after the duel. And how the Sergeant hurried him out.
"He's hiding something," Eli said and the idiot guy that was staying at the club commented as well.
"Look, maybe something is going on, Eli, but this has cost us half our gold. We got ya see it though," Kord said as he continued eating.
"Graduation is in a few hours. We stick around til then and keep an eye on the slugs," Trixie said and Eli went on to say about how the slugs who go through the machine come out as.
He left to figure out way and I followed him.
"Eli, I'm coming with you," I said and we walked outside to the machine.
Eli shot Banger out of his blaster and it was impressive what he did. But it wasn't impressive to see how tired and drained he was afterwards. A guy came over and said the training method was a scam. I knew something wasn't right and it was all too true to be good. Eli felt the same.
We went back and Eli gave a good speech until the Sergeant decided to drag us into a duel. I sighed a bit but I guess you couldn't always have a good vacation without something ruining it.
The duel was just all out chaos and the Sergeant decided to use the machine. It turned even crazier and Eli won by exploding the machine.
Pronto digged through the rubble and found a money. He went on about something else and I shook my head.
'Some people just never learn from their mistakes….' I thought with a slight smile but really, it was a pretty good time to relax a bit.
Just a little bit.
Okay, I know this is long overdue and I'll try to get the next chapter up as quickly as possible but please be patient. Anyways, hope you'll still enjoy reading this story and I may have a new story going soon. It'll be about Huntik this time if anyone is interested. Just know that it may be a while before the next update.
Ja ne,
