The North American Champion 🛑

Creed

"Stand down Trixie," Eli said lowering the blaster and looking over at her.

"Eli!" Trixie put away her blaster and gave him a quick hug, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine Trixie. Meet Alex Creed, the North American Champion." Eli said motioning to the girl who was now getting up, "Alex meet Trixie, one of my teammates."

"Nice to meet you, Alex," she said before turning to Eli, "You know Butch was pretty mad when I left him you know. Especially when I gave them the letters," Trixie said as she started to unpack the bag she was holding and handing Eli his equipment, who started to put it on.

"Ya that was my ace in the hole, I don't think they even knew I know that stuff, but they probably wouldn't let you go if you did," Eli said as he started to load up slugs, "Oh yeah! What do you think?" Eli looked over at Trixie with excitement in his eyes. 

"There's no roof! Or walls! And the sky it's so big and pretty! Oh, Eli-"

The ShadowClan started to move towards Eli, "Those are Elementals. They have not been seen in generations. How did you come to possess them Son of Shane?"

"Elementals? He said Elementals. As in THE Elementals!" Claire stared wide-eyed at Eli. She had been surprisingly quiet since Trixie appeared. 

"My dad showed me how to find them when they were being ghouled, it took a lot of work and I lost my dad..." Trixie put her hand on his shoulder, he also got a nudge from Burpy.

"Ghouled?" The ShadowClan seemed to not know the word, which made sense since he wasn't around when he had labelled them a such.

"Your kind refers to them as Corrupted slugs," Eli said noticing both Alex and the Warrior stiffen.

"Y-you've seen them before. Is there a way to cure them?" Alex frantically looked at his slugs that were still out, "I mean of course you did. They look fine now, but how?"

"Well, the Lightwell does it pretty well if you have one-"

"Humans have never been there before it is forbidden," the Warrior looked startled by Eli's knowledge of the place.

"Burpy got sick and couldn't make the journey alone, so I carried him there. And you can also use a Healer slug to do it instead," He looked as Alex turned crestfallen, "Lucky for you we have Doc." He held up the slug to show off.

"But Eli how are they being ghouled up here? That requires Dark Water or a Goon Doc." Trixie looked confused at Eli from only hearing part of the conversation but still seemed to follow.

"I don't know Trixie how about we head to somewhere more private than the outskirts of Ontario's Capital," He looked over at Alex, "like a hideout of some sort."

Alex Whistled, "Who knew the little American boy knew where we are. Most say it's the capital of Canada. but ya we can get moving." She started to walk into the city.

"A+ in World Geography last time I took it," Eli said as he and the others followed her.

"What the hell does he think he's doing? He is dead when he gets back, DEAD I tell you," Lizzy sat in her chair, yelling after reading Eli's vague letter of what he was up to.

Butch sat on the couch with Claire unsure of what he should say to her about what they saw when Trixie had disappeared, "Mom what do we do if his other friends come? It could cause panic, it's just like Uncle Will said-" His mom gave him a pointed look to not say more in front of Claire. "He'll be fine though right? He's been doing for a year and he has one teammate and she's good in a fight. I've seen it-"

"Butch. He's a good boy who takes after his father. He'll be fine. Now him coming back that's another story. Now let's go find him," his mom got up and started for the computers.

"What is he doing anyway? Where has he been for the past year that's so dangerous? I want to know now." Claire was looking daggers at Butch trying to get an answer. He looked away, following his mother, unable to face either.

"You put a tracker on him?" Butch watched as his mom brought up a GPS tracker site.

"His phone...He's in Canada?!?" They all stared at the blip flashed near Toronto, after recovering from the shock Claire left after memorizing the map without the other Shanes noticing.
