My name is Maria Decker but call me M-its easier to remember and say. I'm from the topside but only the Decker and Shane family know that. Our families have worked along side each other for along time and now-its my turn. Mom and Will Shane disappeared about three to four years ago and I got word that Will had a son. I knew that I would be the next to work with a Shane, to bad we never met before. It would have made things alot easier for me, seeing as I got stuck in the middle of a SlugSlinging compititon. "Mind explaining WHY I have to be in this again?" I asked my team. It was mainly made up of girls but we had a guy with us. He's the tracker for the team meaning he knew where to take us to certain parts of SlugTerra that the rest of us have never been to. His name is Neal and his best friend Tina-a cave troll- is our Mecha Repairwoman. She's a big softy and pretty chill but word to the wise-never get her pissed off. Then we have a female Molenoid named Sarah-she films our activites and tells us what we have to work on. "I heard the Shane is going to be in this M." Tina said, "And you being a Decker, we know you need to meet him." I rolled my eyes and said, "I don't even know what he looks like!" "Uh M?" Sarah said as Spooks started tugging at my hair. "Ow, what is it Spooks?" I asked. He started pointing to a match up ahead. I looked over and noticed one of the slugs was an Infurnus Slug! I remember mom telling me that Will Shane had an Infurnus Slug and whatever happened to him-the Slug would go to his son just like Spooks came to me when mom disappeared. "Shane..." I said as I watched the match, "Great job Spooks." Spooks grinned and looked back at the rest of the team. I noticed that one of the Slugs from another match was heading twords us. "Look out!" Tina said as I got my blast ready. "Let's use Slugshield Bolt." I said as I picked up my Tazerling named Bolt. It nodded and I quickly splaced it into my Blaster before firing. In a flash, Bolt's form changed it quickly used Slugshield. The stray Slug was shocked and was returned to its smaller form, with a black cough here and there. "Sorry little guy but with the way you were going, damage would have been done to YOU and the others in this entire place." I said to the shocked Slug. Thankfully it smiled up at me and nodded. "Hey you're an AquaBeek!" I said. It smiled again with another nod. "Well let's find your SlugSlinger little fella." I said as I placed my hand infront of it. It nodded and climbed into my hand. I stood up and said, "Lead the way." The Slug looked around before finding its owner. I walked over to the guy and said, "This little guy nearly hit us." The Slug's owner looked at me then the Slug before sneering at it. "Next time you lose the target-I'll make sure that you'll never be used again!" The guy said to the Slug. "Its not the little guy's fault!" I said as I took the frigtened Slug away from its owner," Its your's, you're the one who aimed the little guy." I could tell that everyone was watching us but I ignored it. "Just who are you?" The guy asked me. "M Decker." I said. "No way...you're the Decker girl!" The guy said in shock as Spooks moved from out of my hair. "So what if I am?" I asked as I petted the AquaBeek on the top of its head. "Keep the AquaBeek," The guy said in slight fear, "I mean-consider it a gift from the Grand Aqua." I raised a brow at him but the AquaBeek  smiled up at me with great pleasure. "How about I call you Jets? Like one of your powers-Aquajet?" The Aqua smiled again and nodded happily. "Well, Grand Aqua," I said as I looked back at the guy, "Seeing as you're most likely going to hurt the little guy, I take him." The guy gulped and nodded before he ran off. Jets hopping into one of my many empty casples before Spooks moved to sit on top of my head just before I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around and faced a cute guy about my age with dark blueish hair, blue eyes and an average built. Then I noticed the Slug on his shoulder-its was an Infurnus Slug! "Did you say you were a Decker?" The guy asked. "Yeah." I said as he took his hand off my shoulder. "I'm Eli Shane." He said.
