Chp 14: The Shattered

2 years ago...

We see a kid running from blakk henchmen through the city while wearing a bandana mask. His name is YN LN, and he's 14 years old. After his dad disappearance, there's been a huge money problem in the family. His mother tried her best but her job was gone thanks to Blakk industries.

    Now YN is trying his best to find a better way to make money to help his family. Mostly with helping people in what he can by saving the slugs from those henchmen had from their cargo. Stealing was the easy part, but running away part is the hardest.

Henchmen: (Shouting.) Get back here kid!

2nd Henchmen: Split up and cut him off!

YN POV

I couldn't believe how easy it was to steal the slugs from them. With the amount they have in the cargo, they're definitely up to something. Right now I just gotta get away from them before they catch me.

But then one of them cut me off and I had to make a quick turn which unfortunately ended up to a dead end. I turn back just to see two of them blocking my way.

Henchmen: End of the line kid, nowhere to run.

I ready my blaster with Frost and aim at them.

YN: You're not taking these slugs to Blakk. They belong to everyone.

Two more of them arrive as they all draw their blasters ready.

2nd henchmen: Face it kid, you're outnumber and out slugs. So why don't you hand over them before we start blasting you?

I didn't want to take my chances, but there's no way I'm letting them take these slugs to Blakk. I fire Frost but one of them counter it with a rammstone slug to knock her away before it goes after me. I cover my eye until I hear another blaster fire, after a few seconds, I see four of them got stuck in a giant web. I was confused until I heard a girls voice.

???: Hey, climb over here before more of them comes.

I look up to see a girl with pink hair and wearing glasses. She uses her arachnet slugs to make a web of rope for me to help me climb up until I got to the roof.

YN: Thanks for the help.

Dana: No problem, but we should get out of here before there'll be more of them. Come on, I have a safe place close by.

As much as I didn't like it, there's no other option. Not while they're around looking for me and the slugs. Plus she did saved me from getting captured so there's that.

I follow her to her hiding place as we both got inside. Not gonna lie, looks a bit messy but at least its better than nothing.

???: Sorry about to mess, I don't get a lot of people coming around these days.

YN: Its fine, I mean its not like everyone can afford a nice home. Thanks to Blakk industry and his followers.

Dana: Dana by the way, Dana Por. And this is my partner slug.

A arachnet slug appear on her shoulder as Frost appear on mine too before I remove my mask.

YN: YN LN. And this is Frost, my partner slug. Nice to meet you.

Dana: (Surprise.) LN? As in DN LN?

YN: Yeah, that's my dad.

Dana: No way! He's like one of the sharpest slinger in Slugterra.

YN: Yeah...till one day he vanished...

Dana: Oh...sorry I didn't mean to-

YN: No, its fine. Not like you were responsible of his disappearance. I learned that it was Dr. Blakk who was responsible, at least how it started. Last thing I saw my dad was when he lost his arm. After that, he disappeared for a reason.
