(Eli's POV)
We fired one more round of Slugs before Billy and the rest of the Hooligang ran off.
"Great job team," I said as we retrieved our Slugs. "And now we need to..."
"Eli!" I turned around to see Kord kneeling over what looked like... a body! "You might want to get over here," he said. I ran forward to see a girl, out cold, lying in front if him. She was pretty, with brown hair and padded clothing. I could tell she was a slinger by her Slug tube belt and blaster. She appeared to be breathing but her arm was bleeding. The girl groaned and opened her eyes a bit.
"Hey stay with me, we're gonna help you," I said kneeling down beside her. The girl just looked at me before passing out again.
"Hey Trix!" I called. "You might want to take a look at this." Trixie ran over and knelt beside her.
"She's stable but we got to get that arm fixed up," she reported looking at me with concern.
"Let's take her back to the hideout for treatment," I said in response.
"Pronto will of course provide the beautiful damsel with transportation," the said mollinoid said with a bow.
"No offense little buddy but in her condition she's gonna need a smooth ride," said Kord. "I managed to upgrade your Mechabeast Eli, you're gonna have to take her."
"Ok but let's try and get that wound bandaged first. I don't want it getting worse on the ride back," I said agreeing. The gang nodded and Kord began to lift her up but stopped when something growled at him. I looked around to see a Tazerling Slug standing on her chest and growling at Kord. Behind him were several other Slugs, all with the same expression. They must be her Slugs.
"Woah settle down guys it's ok," I said to them. "We are gonna try and help her." The Tazerling looked behind him at the other Slugs and they squeaked something before he turned and nodded for Kord to continue. We made it back to the Mechabeasts and Trixie grabbed the first aid kit we had installed just in case. As we turned back to the girl we saw a Mechabeast cat leaning over her. It must have been hers because it tried to awaken her by nudging her hand.
"It's ok girl, were gonna get her some help. The Mechabeast let out what might have been a whimper before hopping down.
"Eli she's ready for transport," Trixie reported.
"Put her on Lucky," I ordered. Kord shifted her onto Lucky and I got on behind her, and tried to brace her. I had to juggle her around into a bridal style position before I felt confident enough that she would be safe.
"Let's go guys," I yelled before revving up and we all surged forward.
" Hold on girl, hold on," I whispered quietly as we went into hyperdrive.

(Dex's POV)
"Hey wake up, come on you gotta wake up."
I groaned and shifted my position. No ones waking me up from my map.
"Do not worry Mr. CaveTroll, Pronto will awaken her." Wait a second. I never met a cave troll. I opened my eyes immediately and saw several figures before I did a backhand spring to distance myself and while doing it pulled out my blaster. When I landed I had Amp locked and loaded. Then I got a good look at my targets. There was a large cave troll, a mollinoid, and two humans.
"Who are you people and what do you want with me?" I asked not letting my blaster down.
"Perhaps you've heard of us," said the mollinoid. "We are the Shane Gang and I am the magnificent Pronto, tracker extraordinaire!" The rest of the gang cleared their throats to get Pronto's attention. He looked at them apologetically.
