(SIGH)

Huh? Burpy!

Where's Eli?

(CHIRPING)

Ow! Yowwww! Dumb rock!

Kord! I almost blasted you!

You seen Eli? Or Pronto?

Can't see anything!

But I hear...

Slug!

(Blasting)

Ha!

(Whirring)

Pronto!

Oh, ho-ho sorry.

I thought you might have been those Marauders.

Can't be too careful.

After all, we would not want to lose Pronto, would we!

(SIGHS)

Now we just gotta find Eli.

Hey look! There he is!

He's ok...

WAIT!

(KORD AND TRIXIE) NO!!!

# Slugterra! #

(Blasting)

(GRUNTS)

(Fighting struggle)

BRO!

Protect me!

(Blasting and fighting struggle)

It will take time before I control this one completely.

O...K! That there?That is just creepy!

The Goon Doc!

Somehow, it must be doing this to Eli!

We need Doc,

he'd be able to cure that freaky ghoul and help Eli.

(CHIRPING)

Burpy!

Ugh! Just like a slug,

running from danger!

No he's not! He's going after Doc!

(Music)

(Gasping)

Burpy?

(Whining)

Guess he's not here... wherever here is.

Here is where we begin to have a little fun!

You see, right now we're in your mind.

We're... we're in my mind?

And very soon, it and you will belong to me!

You parasite!

You were controlling that slinger all along,

like a puppet.

You used him to invade and destroy our home.

DESTROY?

You upright fool!

I am not here to destroy it,

I am here to protect it.

By ghouling the slugs and attacking us?

Slugterra rightfully belongs to all slugs.

You humanoid beasts are like a virus that needs to be wiped out.

And you, Eli Shane

will be the perfect host

once I enslave you!

(Grunting)

What's the Goon doing to Eli?

(Blasting)

Incoming!

(Blasting)

(Transformation)

Ha ha!

(ROARING)

AAHHHH!

Whoa!

(Blasting and transforming)

Anybody got any ideas?

Pronto knows what to do!

Doot-doot-doot-doot. I am invisible,

like a molenoid ninja.

Hut! Scup-scup-scup. Woot! Ha ha!

(Digging)

(Blasting)

Excuse me.

I am sure that you are not aware of this,

so let me tell you, your leader!

He is really a...slug! YAH!

Pronto! What're you doing!?!

Once he realizes he serves a slug,

I am sure he will abandon him. (CHUCKLES)

Am I right?

AH!

Hi!

(Blasting and transforming)

(Screaming)

You see? My plan worked!

(Music)

I can see you have many questions.

Actually, I only have one:

how do I kick your tiny butt out of my head!

Ah, not true.

You also want to know what drove me to come here.

Through the wall.

And you're just gonna tell me?

You should know whom you will serve.

Even through that wall,

I sensed the presence of slug energy being corrupted.

You mean the ghouls?

I had to know who else but me had the power to make them.

So with some Fandango slug energy

and the Terra Portal drill,

we bored through the wall to come here.

But it seems like I was wrong,

there are no ghouls here

You're too late, we cured them all

and defeated the man responsible for making them.

Now...

(wHIRRING)

Now I see him...

Thaddeus Blakk.

He foolishly allied himself with the Dark Bane---

How do you-

A barrier was broken between Slugterra

and the Deep Caverns.

The Dark Bane would try to enter our world---

They did enter but we stopped them.

(Blasting and transforming)

They're gone for good.

Ho ho ho!

They're not gone,

neither is Blakk and perhaps your father.

What do you know about him? Where is he?

I'm just grabbing at your thoughts.

You are the one keeping him alive in your heart

and here in this mind.

(GRUNTS) GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

(Blasting and transforming)

Floppers.

(Music)

(Rumble)

(Chirping)

That is not good.

(Screech)

Ok, so this ghoul may be a little bigger...

But he's gonna go down just like every ghoul we've ever faced!

(Blasting and transforming)

(Fighting struggle)

(GRUNTS) How can I be hurt?

This isn't even real! Is it?

I assure you...

The consequences of what happens here are very real.

Once you fall to me, you are mine.

And when you are mine, the 99 caverns will be as well.

No...

(Blasting and transforming)

(Fighting struggle)

(GROANS)

I know not from whence you came,

but even there, surely they must tell tales

of Pronto the Magnificent!

(ROARS)

Uh! Or maybe not. (YELPS)

(SCREAMS)

(Blasting)

(Fighting struggle)

Trix!

AHHH!

(NERVOUS LAUGHTER)

Uhhh.

Whoa!

I've got you!

AHH! Uh oh.

(Screaming)

Do not worry,

they will only get to you if they get past me!

I hate to tell ya, bro,

but that's exactly the kinda thing I'm worried about!

(GOON) Stop! Look!

The Terra Portal driver is losing power.

If it does not get more Fandango energy

the portal will close permanently.

Hurry! Bring them through to the other side.

Their energy will keep the portal open

long enough for you to lead my army here!

You see, I told you Pronto would let no harm come to you!

Thanks, little dude, but―

Eh, minor quibble,

but do you really think that you should

refer to the Molenoid who just saved the day as

“Little Dude”?

That's just it ― the day, hasn't been saved.

Not yet!

We've gotta stop them from getting those Fandangos to their friends

or it's game over for the 99 caverns!

(Music)

(Blasting and transforming)

(CHIRPING)

(CHIRPING)

(Music)

(CHIRPING)

(Music)

(CHIRPING)

(CHIRPING)

(CHIRPING)

(GRUNTS)

Huh?

Huh?

(Slugs yelp)

UGH!

(SLUGS) Huh?

(Music)

(Gasping)

(Blasting and transforming)

ROOKIE!

Don't you see,

I'm slowly taking over your mind

(GRUNTS)

(Stomach growling)

-(BURPS) -(YELPS)

Ugh! Sure wish we had Burpy.

Uh, no offense.

You care so much about your infernus.

And yet you don't even know its significance.

You're wrong. I know how special Burpy is.

(CHIRPING)

But do you know that in each set of caverns,

there is only one infernus -

Wielded by the protector of those caverns?

What? But the Dark Slinger -

he had an infernus too. He...

Was the Champion of the Eastern Realms.

(Music)

A highly gifted warrior

with years of specialized training.

I used him to conquer the caverns he once defended.

He was unbeatable and he served me well.

But now I need a slinger who knows these caverns

and I choose you.

(YELPS)

(Fighting struggle)

That's gonna hurt in the morning.

-(KORD GRUNTS) -(BEAST ROARS)

(Gasping for air and screaming)

Wait. Everything here,

it's all just... figments of my imagination, right?

Mm-hmm.

Well, maybe I just need to start imagining

things a little differently!

(Blasting and transforming)

YES!

(Music)

(Whirring)

It's over.

I am the master here!

Huh?

(Screaming and grunting)

(Music)

What I command, your mind obeys.

NOOO!

(Music)

(Slugs whining)

(Blasting and transforming)

Whoa!

(Blasting and transforming)

(Roaring)

That should knock the wind outta their sails.

Whoa!

(YELPS) Oh no! The terra portal is closing.

We need to save those Fandangos

Pronto, no! We've got to go back.

They're too far ahead.

You'll be crushed before you can catch them!

Perhaps. But better me than the 99 caverns.

(YELPS)

Please, my friend, go back while you can.

This is something only Pronto can do!

(SCREAMS)

(Music)

(Grunting)

(Screeches)

Hey you big stink Ball! Time to take a hike!

Uh oh.

(Fighting struggle)

Ok, maybe I shoulda been a little bit more polite.

(Fighting struggle)

Or maybe I shoulda done this!

(Fighting struggle)

Nope. Shouldn't've done that.

(CHIRPING)

Kord! I don't have a shot!

I do! I just need my Blaster!

(Screeching)

Take mine!

(GULPS)

(GRUNTS) YES!

(Groaning)

(Blasting)

(Electrical noise)

(CHIRPS)

Whew! Thanks dude.

Hey! Where's Pronto?

(SCREAMING AND GRUNTING)

Pronto!

Dude, I'm glad you're ok!

But get off your duff and guard this portal

before that army comes through.

(Music)

Huh?!

Baaah! You cave trolls worry too much.

Behold and bask in Pronto's most epic deed.

The rescue of...

THE FANDANGOS!

(Chirps and giggles)

Bro! You're a hero!

Aw! I am no hero.

I am simply the best at what I do!

(Evil laughter)

Eli! That's not Eli.

You think that will save you?

Separating me from my Army?

I will raise another!

Now that I have my slinger, nothing can stop me.

All you have done is trapped yourselves in here!

With me!

(EVERYONE GASPS)

(Music)

AAAHHH!

No! I don't want to hurt them!

Why do you continue to resist?

Haven't you been listening to me?

Have you not heard enough to know you have no hope?

It's never hopeless ― as long as I've got my slugs!

(Blasting and transforming)

Huh?

(CHIRPING)

No...

(GROANS)

Now it is over.

(Blasting)

AHHH! OUCH!

AH! (WHINES)

(Blasting and transforming)

(Grunting and screaming)

(Blasting and transforming)

Eugh...

(Blasting and transforming)

(Fighting struggle)

AHH! Ouch!

(Fighting struggle)

(Music)

(GRUNTS)

Eli, I know you won't do it.

Don't Tazerling me, bro!

(Blasting and tazeing)

(STRUGGLES)

Such power!

And I sense even more within you.

With such a slinger as my slave,

your caverns will fall in no time!

There is no human, troll or mole who can help you now.

(CHIRPING)

(Music)

No! Not the healer! Stay back!

(CHIRPING)

(CHIRPING)

Pathetic. Even with your powers,

did you really think you could best me?

(CHIRPING)

Huh?

(Fighting struggle)

(Music)

(Music)

Trix!

What's happening?

I'm not sure,

but I think two slugs are fighting it out

for the fate of the 99 caverns!

(Fighting struggle)

(CHIRPS)

FILTHY INFERNUS!

I ghouled you once, I will ghoul you again!

Not if I have something to say about it.

NOOO!

(Blasting and transforming)

AAAHHH!

(Music)

(CHIRPING)

Without a slinger, he's powerless.

(CHIRPING)

(Music)

(Screaming)

(GRUNTS) You're not done with me yet!

I'll find a new slinger,

create more ghouls, build a new army.

No matter how long it takes.

(Music)

You know, a lot of other ghouls

escaped back into the caverns during the fight.

Including the Goon.

We'll find them. All of them.

Right, Doc?

(Agrees)

It's kinda weird, but even after breaking free of the Goon,

there's still some kind of connection.

Like I can almost hear what he's thinking:

"Find a slinger.

"Create more ghouls. Build a new army..."

(Music)

Ok, so we've got some work to do.

Yeah. Startin' with ― whatta we do about him?

(Music)
