Slugterra Fanfic

Chapter Three "Dammit!"
-

Doctor Blakk and Master Sasha looked at me in surprise. I felt my face start to burn and I turned around and ran into my room.

I grabbed a medical instruction manual of the shelf, I had practically memorized it as there was nothing else, apart from other homework books, that was easy for me to read.

Re-entering the room Sasha asked

" What do you mean you know how to help him? I haven't taught you anything like this!"

"I learnt somewhere else" was my reply

Her voice took a sarcastic tone "What? Where? That imaginary land above this place?" Your imagination can't heal people Kaiya. You should know that"

I ground my teeth as I tried to keep up my calm composure.

"Look just gimme a room and I'll have his apprentice patched up in no time" I said rolling my eyes.

I looked towards Doctor Blakk, who was amusedly watching this whole thing go down.

"Is that alright with you, Doctor Blakk?" I asked, my voice returning with a bit of courage.

"Yes, that would be fine." His smiled faded," You DO know what you're doing right?"

"Of Course!" That was a bit too forced. I cringed inside my head.

Seemingly satisfied Blakk turned to his apprentice "Let this be a lesson to you, Twist"

He definitely didn't sound pleased.

Eyeing Blakk warily, I motioned Twist to a small room, where minor injuries or check ups were held. Jet followed in after me.

The two lackeys helping Twist, helped him up onto the bed, then left but I heard Doctor Blakk telling them to stay behind and keep things "Under Control".

"Jerk" I mutter to myself

" You should watch what you say about Blakk….umm..Kaiya is it?"

I turned, startled.

"Heh", Twist was smirking, "Didn't know you were a scaredy slug"
"Didn't know you could talk, pal" I shot back, " and I wouldn't get cheeky if I was you, I'm the only thing stopping your slug slinging days from being over"
He scoffed "Don't be stupid, Its not that bad" He looked all calm, sitting upright hand still on his shoulder, blood and grime smeared everywhere.
I rolled my eyes and told Jet to fetch a few things then turned back to Twist.

"Look I don't wanna freak you out but I think you may have a dislocated shoulder and that's not good for your arm."

Twists eyes widened
"And", I pressed on, "I will need to get a full extent of your injuries, meaning…'Dammit!'…You'll need to take your top off."

Twist didn't look to happy with that request. "But what about my shoulder? There is no way I'm taking my top off while I've got a busted shoulder."

"Yeah, I'm working on it"

Scratch, scratch at the door and jet walks in with my items.

Getting a pin I stick a drawing of mine on the opposite wall from Twist who watches me like I've gone nuts.

I then take out a roll of bandages and hold it out to him.

"Stick these in your mouth" I instruct him.

"What?!"

" Put. It. In. Your .Piehole." I say slowly

"Why?"

"Just do it, It'll help your shoulder and my temper" I sound exasperated. Jet growls at him. I don't blame her.

Twist takes the roll and holds it.

"Good" I sigh, "Now put it in your mouth and tell me if you can spot a blaster in that drawing over there"

Twist looks like he's about to tell Doctor Blakk I need mental help but he does it anyway.

He's looking carefully at the drawing when I sneak up behind him grab his shoulder and push it as hard as I can.

I'm rewarded by a muffled grunt from Twist and a squelchy pop from his shoulder.

Twist takes the bandage out of his mouth and looks furiously at me.

"What the heck was that for?" He asks.

"Well, the bandage was to stop you biting your tongue, the picture was to distract you and the push was to get your shoulder back into place so it's now fixed. And your Welcome" I say sarcastically as possible, "Now your shirt please"

Twist shoots daggers at me as I mix up a quick painkiller for him and a poultice for bruises, turning my back to him to give him some time.

When I turn around I nearly lose it at the sight of such a well-toned, tanned, and goddamned SEXY, chest right in front of me.

'Dammit! Dammit!'

Twist looks at me weirdly "You okay?" He's cautious and I don't blame him, if I worked for Blakk I would be too.

"Uh, yeah, I'm Fine" I rip my eyes off and try and focus on other matters.

I turn around and give him a bowl of paste.

"For your shoulder, it'll stop the pain and reduce swelling, You can put it on yourself"

As he applies it, I take in the scratches on his muscled arms.

"Now, what the heck did you get into?" I ask

"Just a friendly duel" He replies casually, "Can you do the back part, I can't reach"

I start to rub it in, careful not to push to hard

"Friendly huh? Well that's one thing to put you off dueling"

He laughs "Put me off? No way! What makes you say that? You ever dueled someone?"

"Nope, I've always wanted to but I'm stuck here, I've got the slugs and the gear but just not the skills"

I step back and mix up a quick paste for the cuts.

"Have you ever tried to shoot a blaster?" Twist asks

"Yeah, I'm just not used to such large ammo"

"Slugs are the ONLY ammo down here, what are you talking about? You either shoot slugs or ghouls, not anything else"

"Yeah I know okay?!" I'm starting to lose my temper, "Put this on your scratches and put your shirt back on, It's…distracting"

He raises an eyebrow but complies. I start to tidy up the herbs and dishes I used and check through my manual one last time.

"Anything else wrong?" I ask

"No" Comes a reply

"Okay" 'Jeez'

I walk out of the room hoping to find Doctor Blakk, but all I see is Sasha giving the two guards some food.

"Kaiya! Is everything okay? Doctor Blakk left" She asks when she sees me

"Yeah everything is fine, don't worry" I reassure her, "Though Twist will have to stay one more day, just incase his shoulder plays up, then he can go back to Blakk"

I glance at the guards. One's talking on his communication device while the other watches me.

Twist comes out of the room, rubbing his shoulder then sits down next to the guards.

Sasha brings him something to eat while I put my book away in my room.

My slugs are all lazing around in my room and a few say chirpy hellos to me as I come in.

Jet whines and grabs my blaster in her mouth, while a few slugs suddenly get excited and start chirping madly.

"You guys want some practice huh? Okay then lets go" I pick up my blaster, grab my denim vest then head out the back yelling at Sasha I'll be outside with Jet and my crew.

I stroll to a secluded spot then start practicing. I'm really not good with shooting slugs as I always aim for the person. I forget that slugs transform and are larger ammo than I used topside (I was a farm kid okay?)

I shoot Crypt out then commando roll behind a rock for cover against my imaginary foe.

Jet races off after Crypt to retrieve him. That's Jets job, she'll fetch my slugs for me.

I fire off Slick, my Lariat, Stabb, my Dirt Urchin and my Thresher, Edge.

I'm just about to change position when a slug hits the front of the rock I'm behind.

I load Galaxy and fire in the same direction it came from and cover my eyes as white light bursts out.

Getting up I scan the area for my attacker, Jet returns with Crypt and Edge then runs off.

I'm about to give up when a voice behind me says

"You're a crap slinger, you know"

I turn around and Twist is leaning against the rock I was hiding behind with a slug on his shoulder.

He's trying to keep a straight face but his eyes give him away.

"Yeah, so what? Like I said, I'm not used to such large ammunition but what are you doing here? Your supposed to be recuperating with that shoulder" I'm annoyed, I wanted some privacy and he turns up here? Great.

"Yeah well Loki wanted some practice too and I wanted to get familiar with the place"

As Twist shrugged my eyes caught a flash of metal behind him. Jet.

"Who's Loki?" I ask

"He's my best team mate"

"Can I see?"

"No"

"Why? Afraid I'll eat him?"

"No, Blakk doesn't want anyone to know"

"Too late"

I see something peek over his shoulder then vanish

"It's a slug isn't it?" I ask, more curious than ever

"Umm, No"

"Then it's a ghoul? What slug was it before?" Excitement creeps into my voice, I've never seen a real ghoul before and this was gonna be a first.

"Please can I see?" I beg

Twist looks like he's about to reconsider things when Jet jumps on top of him, pushing him over.

'DAMMIT!DAMMIT!DAMMIT!'
