The Surface Girls

Chapter Four

When Kay woke up the next morning, she felt her head pounding. She quickly got dressed and went downstairs. After she ate breakfast, she went into the living room where she found everyone asking Jules questions.

"Hey, sleepy-head!" Eli joked.

"Sis, how did you get your slug to be a mega-morph?" Jules asked.

"Well, it was a before our new friends defeated Blakk," she started to explain. "One day I ran into one of Blakk's men and I managed to steal an upgrade to my blaster. I also got a 2nd one for when you're ready. When I first tried the new upgrade, Ariel, my merma-slug, turned into her mega-morph form."

"Which cavern do you come from?" Kord questioned. Jules and Kay exchanged glances.

"Well, you guys probably won't believe us if we told you," Jules muttered.

"Nonsense! We believe that you guys will speak the truth," Pronto said.

"We came from the Surface," Kay said abruptly. They all were silent in shock because that was the answer they expected to be one of the least possible.

I, I don't believe it Eli thought to himself. He had finally found someone else from the Surface.

"Trust me, that's not unbelievable," Trixie spoke up.

"We may or may not have met someone who is from the Surface, too," Kord winked at Eli. Kay and Jules were suprised to hear this, and they were in a way glad to know that they believed them.

The next day the two sisters left really early in the morning. They went back to their campsite only to find it burned to ashes. Tears formed in their eyes as they left to find the nearby cave they found a while back. They "unpacked" what they were able to collect at the campsite and rested for a little bit.

Back at the hideout, the Shane Gang were making a plan to stop Twist from collecting Dark Water. But one of Twist's men made the mistake of trying to sneak in and startled one of the slugs who quickly alarmed Eli. The man jumped onto his mecha and started to get away, but Eli, Kord, Trixie, and Pronto jumped on their mechas and chased after him. What they didn't realize was that they were chasing him towards the cave that the two sisters had moved into.

When Kay and Jules heard the commotion outside, they ran towards the opening of the cave to see what was happening, but as soon as they reached the mouth of the cave, Twist's man shot a Grimstone towards the top of the cave. It slammed onto the top of the mouth of the cave, causing the cave to cave in. Kay and Jules skipped backwards just in time, but unless the Shane Gang stopped chasing the man, they new they were doomed.
