Home Is Where The Heart Is~ Slugterra Fanfiction

Captured

  I yawn, stretching my arms out. It's been a few months since we first came down to SlugTerra, and my arsenal is coming along nicely. I jump out of the top bunk, landing with a thud on the floor. I reach onto the bottom bunk and adjust one of my slugs into a more comfortable position, instead of hanging off the edge barely. I climb up the stairs and out of my hatchdoor, into the kitchen. I grab some poptarts and head to go back downstairs, but I hear a voice that I don't recognize coming from the living room. I silently lay down my strawberry pop tart, and approach the living room, in a karate stance. I relax when I see it was just the TV that pronto was watching. I stay back in the shadows watching.

  "Are you tired of dueling for hours, but your slugs aren't learning any moves?" Asks the TV. Pronto sits up, interested.

 "Are slingers around you getting all the good slugs, leaving you with floppers?" It asks.

 Pronto holds up his main slug, Stinky, and says "Yes, no good lazy stinky slugs!" The commercial continues.

 "Tired of not knowing which slug to use, or if they're even useful at all?" I scoff at that,

 "All slugs have use. And stinkers aren't floppers, floppers don't transform." I think to myself. I step out of the shadows.

 "Pronto, knowing you you're going to sign us up right?" I ask. I can tell I startled him but he responds

 "Yes, of course. Pronto must treat his fellow friends with a nice vacation."

 "Well, if you want to do is a favor, don't count me in. If rather not... I wanna go explore SlugTerra." Pronto looks surprised, but nods. I make him promise not to buy me a ticket or whatever, and he agrees. I hear back up to the kitchen and cook my poptarts, afterwards biting into the gooey strawberry-ness. After that I head back down to my room, change into some pajamas, climb under my cozy covers and drift off, cuddling up close to my stuffed animals.

 When I wake up, I start packing. I plan on doing a camping thing, traveling throughout SlugTerra or just staying in some remote area in the woods for the weekend. After I pack up a tent, some sleeping supplies, hygiene needs, some food, and some extra stuff I want like a stuffed animal or two. I walk outside to find Eli and Kord dueling, but they don't really do anything except throw insults.

 Trixie come out of no-where and shoots her Tormato. Eli uses a Lariat, which pulls him up into the air with a rope of goo. Kord stands strong and launched Bludgeon at the Tormato and knocks it out at the center. Kord falls to the ground and Eli shows up, and does a back flip of the mushroom and shoots Banger. Kord, in a rush, shoots a Hop Rock but it's knocked away by Banger, then Banger hits Kord's blaster away. Eli comes down on Suds, his Bubbaleon, and helps up Kord. Pronto shows up with a lot of Luggage. Eli asks why, and pronto recites the commercial. He then tells him that they're payed, and it cost half our gold. When he said that I gasped, but I had to go along with it. Everyone complains, and when they learn there's no refunds, they have to go along.

 After they pack quickly, they go and get me out of my room. I guess they assumed since I had the luggage I was coming. After I explained to them I wasn't, we parted ways. With my regular bag on my back, and 3 bags strapped to Blaze, I set out. My blaster was at my side as was all my slugs, some in my bag, some in slugisters, and some out in the open on my shoulder. I look back and wave to Eli and he waves back, but soon we can't see each other. I look ahead and continue riding in a random direction.

 As the sun hits the high spot near mid-afternoon, I swerve of the road and stop. Next to me is a nice large lake, and a bridge going over it. It looks like one of the SlugTerra express tracks, so I have to be careful, but otherwise it is a great place. I walk around until I find a nice large tree, with huge branches. It looks like it has a hole about 9 or 10 feet up and after I climb up and see its big enough, I climb back down and being to unpack. First I get my tent. I bring it up to the hole and then set it up. It is a relatively small tent so I have room. After that I haul up the other bags, one at a time, not counting the one on my back, which stays on the whole time. As I unload, enough time passes, and the sun begins to set. Luckily I am completely unpacked into the hole, all I need to do is take care of my mecha. I won't Be able to fit it up there, and if I could I wouldn't be able to get it up there.

 Instead I ride it to a nearby set of rocks and hide it in a small hidden opening, which I cover with other rocks and some vines for easy entrance and exit. I head back to the new home in the darkness, but my eyes quickly adjust to the darkness and I find my way back easily. After I climb up into my little hidey-hole I make sure my slugs are comfortable in their little sleeping quarters or whatever. I then crawl into my tent and quickly doze off after a quick change into some shorts and a tank top.

 The next morning after I get up and dressed, I round up my slugs, blaster, and some food and head out. Before I left I slipped on and my slug bag, in which all my slugs except for Iris Comet Earthquake and FrostBite. Iris is on my shoulder while the rest go into my slugister belt. I climb down a few branches and when I'm close enough, I jump down to the ground, landing perfectly. I go over to my mecha's hiding spot and lead Blaze out. I hop onto him and ride out toward the lake. Once I get it the lakes edge, I hop off of Blaze and lie down on the edge of the lake. I pick up my blaster, load Earth, and shoot him into the air. I just lie there watching as he soars around. Next I shoot FrostBite, then Comet, and finally Iris. As they all fly around in the air, messing around with each other. They reach their ProtoForm, and I catch them, and repeat the process.

 After maybe an hour I don't reshoot, and I walk along the edge of the lake, making a loop around. Before I got completely around, I tripped over something on the path. I look down, confused, and see a tripwire! I gasp and make a jump to the right, to avoid getting caught/killed. Unfortunately I was two late, and a circular cage sprung up around me. I start to freak out, rattling the bars back and forth. I see my blaster on the ground, along with my bag. I groan, and as my slugs crawl out, curious, I quickly shush them and motion for them to go hide. My others slugs I had our also on the ground, and they also ran to hide. I wait for someone to come, and I'm not disappointed. Through the brush comes out a tall, beefy guy with a red/pink spikey hair, and a lot of scars. Next to him is two black dog like things. But it doesn't look like they have a normal dog nose, it is just two slits in its face. I growl down at him, and he climbs the tree that my "cage" is dangling on, and cuts me down. I growl at him again, and he picks up me and all my stuff. Luckily, all my slugs are gone and hiding. The guy picks up my bag, ravaging through it. He throws out a lot of stuff, including my sketch book.

 "Hey, jerk! Get your hands out of my freaking bag and put my sketch book back!"I yell at him, but he ignores me. After awhile, he throws down my stuff and slings the cage over his shoulder. I yell as I slam into the bars due to the impact, but he keeps ignoring me. I cautiously look around, nervous. I have no idea who this guy is, and why he is here, why he caught me. The one thing I think is a possibility, is Blakk. But I don't know how he followed me, I know cameras at the house is a possibility, I mean he did have his guys there. So he could have known I was gone, but I don't even know where I am! How would he find out... I sit there, pondering. After a few minutes, I quickly get bored.

 "So, who are you?" I ask the guy carrying me. Still no answer. I sigh, and sit there, bored. I eventually fall asleep. The place he is taking me is obviously far away, but before I drift off, I see a flash of red. Hoping it wasn't my slugs, I close my eyes and rest.
