The Shane Gang, alongside Twist and Dana, rode across the caverns, heading straight to the destination where no one would even think to step foot in. Considering the last time I was here I was literally killed, it was a weird feeling to willingly return to this sinful skyscraper.
Eli and I rode behind the group, overseeing the gang as they chatted casually, deep down knowing that things would be a lot different in just a matter of minutes. The basketball-sized beeping bomb behind Kord's mechabeast was a constant reminder of how dangerous the mission is.
"Hey," Eli called out to me through the gushing wind with Burpy perching on his shoulder. "How is Aurora doing?"
"Great!" I forced a smile out as Phoenix and Aurora both perched on one side of my shoulder. Aurora had grown into a teen, and was almost half the height of her parents.
Eli smiled charmingly as Aurora waved at him with a cheeky smile.
"So Ales, I'm thinking," he started and I could see blush surfaced on his cheeks. "Don't tell the rest of the gang but I got us both tickets to the movies tonight at Snowdance Cavern. Would you go with me? Or else I'll have to ask Pronto."
My eyes lit up and I smiled at him.
"The most famous slinger in Slugterra, Eli Shane himself, is asking me out on a date?"
"You can say that," he said, blushing even harder as he scratched the back of his neck.
He's so adorable.
"Yes! Of course I'll go with you!" I exclaimed. His eyes lit up and he smiled even brightened, before he pretended to put his focus back on the road ahead.
"Thank goodness. I don't have to listen to Pronto's disgusting slurps when he eats his popcorn throughout the entire movie," he chuckled. "And maybe after the movies, I'll take you to dinner at my favourite spot, if you'd like that."
"I'd love to go anywhere with you, Eli."
He wore the most genuine smile.
"I can't wait to defeat Doctor Blakk, to defeat the Darkbanes and whoever's with them, to let everyone in Slugterra live in peace once again. We can live in peace. We have so much more to explore in Slugterra and Snowdance Cavern is just one of them. Gosh just end this day already!" Eli said, slightly frustrated and I chuckled at him with rosy cheeks.
He turned to smile at me one last time, before our smiles faded when we noticed the notable change in scenery.
Plants transitioned from vibrant colours to deadly black, the atmosphere so demonic that you could almost taste it in the air. We emerged out from the last batch of living trees and Blakk citadel stood mightily at a fair distance.
"Gather up!" Eli instructed and we dismounted our mechas to form a small circle. Trixie pulled out the layout of Blakk's Citadel on her hologram in the middle of us and Eli pointed at the big square at the very centre of the diagram.
"This is where the Terraportal is. Remember, do not go near it under any circumstances, because we might need to set off the bomb immediately," Eli said, his finger shifted from the centre to the left side of the layout where the entrance was located. "We will attack from here. Ales and I will work our way towards the Terraportal and bring it down with the Elementals. We need everyone's help to fight off any goons or Darkbanes that gets in our way."
He then looked up and made eye contact with Dana.
"I know what I'm doing. I'll send Dalinda in when it's time," Dana said with a confident nod.
"Great!" Eli clapped his hands together as Trixie pulled back her hologram.
"Let's do this! Let's save Slugterra," Eli said with his signature smirk.
