Junjie

I woke up in a cage. Both my leg and head were pounding like a Hop Rock slamming against a thick tree. "Wha… where am I?… Lily?" A soft hand touched my chest.

"Don't worry. I'm here. You'll be a little dizzy from the blood loss for a while. Just, try and not move too much."

"Wait, where's Joo-Joo?!"

Lily chuckled. "Don't worry. He's with Eli and the others, along with Flare, Jaws, and Darkie."

"Well, what do we have here?" A voice said.

Lily reached for her blaster. "Wait, where's my blaster?!" I noticed my wrist blasters were gone, too. And so were all our slugs!

A mysterious figure held up a cage. In it were a Dragonoid, two Arachnets, an Armashelt, two Rammstone, a Frightgeist, two Tazerlings, and a Hoverbug, all screaming in terror. " NO!" We screamed.

"Wait, looks like Petty and Glacier were able to escape!" Lily exclaimed.

"Now," a straggly voice said. "Let's see how you feel when you have your own slugs used against you!"

"Not if we have anything to say about it!"

A Tormato and Rammstone shot out from behind a huge pile of junk, followed by an Infurnus. "Bluster! Bludgeon! Burpy!" Then the rest of the Shane Gang rode out on their mechas.

"Good thing I was able to fix these in time." Kord said.

In another part of Deep Storage…

A Frostcrawler and a Fandango were hopping fast through the mountains of junk.

"Oh, man. What do we do? Our slinger is captured, along with our friends and the Eastern Champion!" Glacier said, panicked.

"First things first, how did we even manage to escape?" Petty replied.

"Who knows. That butterfingered noob can barely hold a blaster." Glacier said with a small laugh. "It won't be long before-" Glacier stopped in mid-sentence. "Did you feel that?" Petty sighed.

"Glacier, bro. For the last time, I don't have sensitive fur like you do. No, I didn't feel anything."

"Well, then, LOOK!" A giant bucket was above them.

Then, darkness.
