I was looking through my files on my holographic desk when Trixie suddenly jumped up from her computer. Once Pronto was up, he made breakfast (which I humbly refused, and stuck to a health bar, which couldn't have been worse than whatever that mole thought was food). "Face it, Shane, you simply aren't good enough to kidnap." "Well, if I'm getting as much of a problem as to try and riskily take me out at a public function, I guess that means I'm doing my job right." Then I grinned crookedly and patted Eli's shoulder. Besides, the trouble started just as I saw Blakk, when I was trying to warn Eli." I laughed coldly. Everyone I've ever caused trouble for has been associated with Dr. "Instinct? I feel like it's a little obvious. "How did you know? You couldn't have seen what the blaster that one guy had at you was loaded with, and the others had their blasters and ghouls hidden." I shrugged, not meeting his gaze. Besides, you know, the fact that I had weird powers and could sense ghouls and dark water.Įli turned to look at me. I began to think of a story of why I would know they had ghouls. And I knew it was Blakk even before he shot the ghoul at me." I realized what I said a little too late. One of them shot one at me, remember? Anyone with ghouls is associated with Blakk in some way. "Then how do we know it was Blakk? I guess it coulda been someone else." I shook my head. Those men weren't wearing anything that could have signaled that they were a part of Blakk Industries." Kord, sitting on a chair and working on his blaster, frowned. And besides, even now they don't know for sure that it was Blakk. "But, since I specialize in recon and such," I said thoughtfully, "People wouldn't have cared as much, I'm not as well known as Eli is. He would have broken the no-weapons rule, and would be responsible for ending another Shane." I nodded, understanding. If Eli got taken, everyone who immediately pin it on him. Eli's practically becoming famous- it would be risky to try and take Eli, at least in such a public spoke like the formal. "Well, Blakk is a jerk, but he still has a bit of a reputation to keep, doesn't he? Some people think he revolutionizing Slugterra or whatever.
"You know," I said, twirling some of m hair on my index finger, "No offense, but I wonder why Blakk didn't try to take you, Eli? I feel like you annoy him more than me, although I have been quite a pain lately." That had been a frighteningly close call, and I would definitrly rather that it not happen again. Blakk is stepping up his game." I nodded, shivering as I remembered the blaster up against me last night. "Hey," I greeted them, hopping on the couch next to Eli.Įli nodded a greeting. Eli, Trixie and Kord were in the living area, I wasn't sure where Pronto was (probably still asleep). The morning after the formal, I did my usual get-ready-for-the-day stuff, and walked downstairs. Although, now I felt very compelled to tell at least Eli about my run-in with the Shadow Clan, the truth about the amulet, and the more recent discoveries of, my um, 'abilities'.
It felt pretty good, just making it official and stuff. Well, I had officially joined the Shane Gang. Nobody hesitate to point out any mistakes, please (: Oh, and, I wrote some of this around midnight one night, so pardon if it's not perfect. Well, my crazy headaches and daze-ness are officially gone, so I can be back on technology, woo hoo! Although I get a headache when I go outside because of the sun so I need to walk around everywhere with sunglasses, but oh well.Īuthor's note at the end of this chapter! Read it pretty please with your topping of choice on top! Blasters have three parts, the base, barrel and space for reloading in which slugs are fitted and then fired by fusing energy of slugs and blaster.// Dedicated to Dat_John_Stone for correctly guessing who Alana was talking to first! They are kept in special cylinder-shaped cases called slug containers.
If they are baby slugs one has to feed them regularly so that they remain healthy. All slug-slingers have to expand their arsenal and for that they use certain techniques like only talking, using special slug collecting devices and slug catching hook. Once they are fired, they can only be re-used if you are fast in picking them up and reloading, otherwise they will return to one's hideout if one is friendly to them. When these slugs are fired with the help of blasters, they reach a speed of one hundred miles per hour and transform into a powerful form which is destructive. They have special powers according to their element, which are: Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Light, Dark, Freak slugs, Metal, Toxic, Ice, Plant, Electricity. Slugs are tiny creatures found all over Slugterra, a never-imagined underground world.
