"Oh! " Eli suddenly exclaimed. "I can't believe I almost forgot!" He picked up his right hand slug and presented him to her. "This, is Burpy. He's been at my side for as long as I can remember." Burpy waved with his tiny slug arms. "Aww….he's so cute!" she exclaimed with a squeal. Eli chuckled. They stood in silence one more, but then something happened. The alarm was going CRAZY! "Guys," Kord said while looking out the window.

I think we have trouble."

Trixie looked through the window. "Kord's right! Blaak's goons are coming! And fast!" Eli rand to the window at her exclamation. His eyes widened. "Guys, get your gear on! Burpy, man the cannons, and Pronto, just stay out of the way!" "Nonsense! I am the mighty Pronto! I stand down to no one!" he said as he charged outside. A few seconds later, he came back "Okay, eh, maybe a few…"

Kord rolled his eyes, as he loaded his blaster. "Guys, it's showtime!" and they ran out into the battle. Oh no. I can't go out, but I can't just leave them there! Aw man! Roxanne thought as she pondered. With one final sigh, she grabbed her blaster, and ran out to join them. The battle was a mess. there were slugs and ghouls everywhere! There was even a flopper fighting a ghoul on the ground. Wow. She shook her head. "Ready, Hicca?" The slug nodded with enthusiasm, and jumped into the cartridge. "Let's go!"

Roxanne shot Hicca, and upon reaching 100mph she turned blue and azure flames surrounded her. SHe circled a group of Blakk's men, and left them cowering on their knees. She hopped back to her master. "Good job, Hicca! High finger!" she said as she bent down and the slug hit her finger in a high five motion. She picked Hicca back up. She ran deeper into the field, attacking anyone who got in her way. When she stopped to shoot an enemy, she saw Eli in trouble. He was surrounded by eight men, cornered, against a rock. She abandoned, her confused target, and ran over to help him. "Hey big guy," she said tauntingly. "Pick on someone your own gender!" A vein bulged in his thick neck. "Why you little-" but before he could finish the sentence, Eli had shot him.

She jumped next to him, and they finished off the rest of the gang. "Well, Well, lookie what we have here!" a familiar (and annoying) accent sounded. "Looks like we got ourselves a couple of Shane gang members, huh?" Locke said. "Yup, looks like Eli Shane finally got some!" Load teased. Eli and Roxanne went red in the face at this. "We are not dating!" Eli said, and his voice cracked. "Aw, look, Eli, is em-bear-assed! Poor Eli" They howled at this. While they were too busy laughing, Roxanne tapped Eli's shoulder. "On my signal, fire Burpy." Eli nodded.

"Now!" she yelled; she fired Hicca. Eli fired Burpy. Before they reached 100mph, they nodded at each other. Their try forms took place. A fusion attack of azure and crimson, swirling together appeared. Locke and Load had just enough time to look up before it hit them. They fell backwards with the force.

A few seconds later, they sat back up. They shook their heads simultaneously (of course) and commanded, "Fall back! Retreat! Retreat!" The scrambled to their legs, and the few of their soldiers that were left, ran with them. "Alright! We did it!' they said as the high fived. As soon as her had hit his, a jolt went through her. it sent shivers up her spine, and gave her a warm fuzzy feeling. It was the same for Eli.

Just then, the rest of the gang ran up. "Yo, bro, that was awesome! That fusion attack was HOT!" Kord said, excitedly. Trixie punched his arm at his corniness. She rolled her eyes. "Enough with the cheesy jokes, Kord," she said sarcastically. "But, I'm confused on something. Why would Blaak just attack us? I mean he's done it before, but why now?" Trixie asked, an eyebrow arched.

"I don't know, but whatever the reason, we need to find out." Eli said with a serious look on his face.

Sorry for the shortness, but here's the update! Hope you enjoy!
