Me and Straggus were standing off. "Alright, I want a clean duel. No cheating!" I gave the molenoid a look.

"Pronto, not helping."

Pronto scoffed and said, "Excuse me… just start the duel already!" Straggus took the first shot. A Bubbaleone Slug. I fired Jaws. After hitting velocity, the Makobreaker grabbed the opposing slug in his mouth and popped it with his razor-sharp teeth. Gaining power, he grew larger and larger until he was practically unavoidable. Jaws slapped Straggus with his tail, causing him to get buried under a mountain of spare parts.

"That's the thing about Makobreakers. The more slugs that collide with them, the stronger they get."

Straggus growled. His next shot was a Crystalyd Slug. As the slug was coming towards me, The Water Elemental jumped on my shoulder.

"Are you sure?" The slug nodded. He hopped into the blaster. "Alright, time to cool off!" As the legendary water slug hit velocity, he unleashed a FreezeRain Attack, causing the area around Straggus to turn to ice, and reducing the incoming Crystalyd to a solid block of frozen rain. Then while he wasn't paying any attention, I fired Hydra and Darkie in the double barrel and ended the duel with a SonicSmoke Fusion.

"It's over. Give me Petty and Glacier." Straggus looked at me in fear. I had Eli's blaster pointed at him with Mucky inside the barrel. The Dirt Urchin snarled.

"A-alright! Just take them back!" Welder Walter gave me my last two slugs. "I'm glad to have you guys back." They climbed up my arms and nuzzled my neck. I looked at my mecha.

"Ready to go home?" Everyone's slugs chirped in agreement. I smiled. "Then let's go home."
