Slugterrainea s01e02 Episode Script

My name is Eli Shane.
And yesterday, I took the drop to Slugterra.
Whoa!! That turned out to be the easy part.
Duel! Down here, you need to sling slugs to survive.
Some new friends got me into a tournament where I can get the slugs I need.
You'd better get a move on Round 1 starts tonight in Scorched Sparks Cavern!" Now all I gotta do is win! 1x02 - The World Beneath Our Feet / part 2 of 2 / Whoa!!! Thanks, Pronto.
Yes, this journey is not so easy.
Uh, yeah.
I almost died.
Four times! And surely you would have.
If not for Pronto's magnificent tracking skills! But behold round 1 of the tournament! Attention registered Scorched Sparks competitors! A reminder that all slugs need to be registered Hey! What took you so long? Molten lava, razor sharp cliffs and a Molenoid with a constant need for pit stops.
What? Our bladders are very small! - Why didn't you just take the road? - Wait there was a road!? Ahhh when you're with Pronto, you don't need roads! A good reason to bring me along with you when soon you are out fighting evil.
All that matters now is you made it.
The only question is: who you're going to duel first.
Just try not to die.
That would be bad.
Stay close.
These lava lakes can be very unpredicta-aaable! Okay, that was kinda scary.
But also kinda awesome! What'd they do? Pick the most dangerous cavern they could find? Oh-ho-ho.
Don't be silly! Each round of the tournament is hosted by a different cavern.
They are probably saving the truly deadly ones for last.
That's the thing they don't announce the match ups or the type of contest until the very last minute.
I have no idea if I need to be preparing for a sharpshooting contest, a-a mecha-back duel it could be anything! Leave it to me I will use my expert skills in persuasion to find out early.
Attention! The first round of the tournament will be 1 on 1 duels.
Okay it is 1 on 1 duels! - Thanks for the tip Pronto.
- My pleasure.
Anything to give you the edge, my friend.
Duel! Burpy! Burpy Maybe you could have mentioned that hot lava won't hurt you? Ha! Now I gotcha! I saved the best for last.
Doh! So did I.
Winner! Eli Shane's the winner! Take your pick, Mr.
Shane.
I know which one ya gonna take.
It sure was sweet know'n ya.
Your Thresher slug's great.
But C'mon I can't take him.
I know how I'd feel if someone took Burpy from me.
You're a Armashelt, aren't ya? I could use a cannonballer when I'm out helping people and kicking evil's butt.
What do you say? Think I'll call you Banger.
That okay with you? So, not too bad for my first real match, huh, Pronto.
Pronto? Hey, there you are.
Okay.
Yes! I am here.
But certainly was not to find a new job if you lost But I can see from the look on your face that you were victorious, so let us not have any more of these silly accusations.
Winner! Jack Bull is the winner! Congratulations.
I won my first round too.
Don't know you, don't care.
Did Pronto mention how happy he is that you won? The King of Sling versus Trixie Sting! Now bow down before the majesty of "The King Of Sling!" That's for your yapping.
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whooooa! That's for your flapping.
And that one wins me the duel! Winner! Trixie Sting! Cool! But I guess not everyone was so lucky Totally You should see the dude I just hammered! Woo-hoo-hoo! Dr.
Blakk.
Maurice, what have I told you about interrupting me while I work? It's about that slug slinging tournament.
And I should care because? The Shane kid.
He's still in it.
According to my guy, he might actually be good.
You don't think he'll be a problem, do you? In ten years perhaps.
But you still want me to keep an eye on him, right boss? - Leave - I'll take that as a yes.
C'mon dudes! and dudettes.
Floor it! We're only half way to Rocklock Cavern.
And the next round is startin' in less than an hour! Hey, I've been meaning to ask you: Cave Trolls are like the best engineers, right? - Well I don't wanna brag.
- So why did you become a Slug Slinger? My clan wanted me to go into the family business.
A lot of the passageways we use today were built by my people.
But turns out slinging slugs is a whole lot more fun - than busting rocks.
- Yes, yes, yes.
I, of course come from a long, proud line of Molenoid explorers - What about you, Trixie? - Not much to say.
I was tired of seeing bad people ride into my home cavern to cause trouble.
Without a Shane around, somebody had to do something.
I was the only one who wanted to fight back.
That's partially why I make my videos so people can see what's been happening in Slugterra good and bad.
Tracking however is the Molenoids' greatest skill Speaking of that, where exactly are we Pronto? Oh, just a little shortcut I know about.
Those are Shadow Clan markings.
- Is this one of their trails? - Yes, at one time it was.
But they haven't been seen here in years.
Well guess what? I think they've made a comeback.
The Shadow Clan? I've always wanted to see one.
Usually if you get close enough to see one - It's the last thing you'll see.
- So, what do we do? Run!!! Eli! He meant run away! You guys get out of here.
I'll try and distract them! Whoa! This was a bad idea.
Eh do we go in and get him? Whoa! Light 'em up, Burpy.
- What were you thinking? - I don't know what I was thinking.
My Dad always talked about them like they were no big deal.
He said he ran in to them all the time when he was out patrolling the caverns.
Yeah, but your Dad was Will Shane.
You, you're just crazy.
Rocklock Cavern.
They better have something good for this round.
this next round will feature 3 on 3 team duels! Choose your partners! Whadda ya say? Ah, c'mon what's the worst that could happen? Whoa!!! Ugh!!! Don't just sit there! Get some cover! Who are these guys anyway? These three are the Powers triplets.
AKA the Power Trips.
They've been training together since they were born.
It's like they know what each other's gonna do before they do it.
Ah.
Enjoying the match I see.
You know, he may be Will Shane's son, but Pronto taught him everything he knows! Ooh.
Except for that.
Or that.
- Slug him again, brother! - Yes, sister! Whoa, wait! One of those dudes is a girl? We need to be working together like they do.
Show me your slugs.
Kord, you'll sling that Phosphero.
Trixie, we'll need your Arachnid.
Then we'll see what Banger can do.
It takes weeks to bond with a new slug, Eli.
Sometimes months.
You can shoot it, sure, but to pull off a complicated move, there's no way a slug you just won will do exactly what you want it to do.
I may be new at this, but I know when a slug has bonded with you.
Kord, you draw them out.
Then we fire on my signal! - Go!! - Here goes nothin'! There, brothers! Now! Ah-ha-ha! You see? One of my signature moves! Winners! Team Shane! Yes! High-five! Hey! Come on.
I am the only one hangin' here.
Ok.
Maybe later.
Good.
Can we guys move to the next round? You'd better be right about this Maurice.
- My time is precious.
- Western Caverns, driver.
Dr.
Blakk wants to watch the slug match.
Let us see what this new Shane has to say for himself.
Winner! Eli Shane is in the finals! That's great, Eli! Congrats.
Thanks! I just heard I'm sorry bro.
Um, no I won.
I'm in the finals! Yeah, against John Bull! Look what he did to me! Look bro, you don't have the skills, and not to mention the body mass to take on his rammers.
I'm sorry to say it dude, but that guy's gonna crush you.
Go get him kid! I'm rooting for ya! Eli Shane is not signing any autographs.
Pronto, however, has several poses available! The Slugterrainean Express And it's not carrying just any passenger.
Dr.
Blakk? Why would he be here? Which one of you is Eli Shane? It's okay, Burp.
Who is that guy? Dr.
Thaddeus Blakk.
Your Dad never mentioned him? People say he was the last one to see him alive.
What your friends say is true.
Will Shane was a true hero.
I owe my life to him in fact.
Let's find a place to talk, shall we? - My friends are coming with me.
- By all means.
It's okay guys.
We're just gonna talk.
A small perk of owning the main line of transportation, is that one gets to travel in a certain style.
Oh-ho-ho! So soft! Like an angel's whisper! So Will Shane had a son.
I'm not surprised.
The Shanes and their secrets - You were my Dad's friend? - Friend? Not exactly.
Your father and I had our differences but that's all in the past.
You and I have a chance to start fresh.
Perhaps some day even work together.
I've been told you're a little short on slugs.
Consider this one a gift.
- What happened to that slug!?! - Why I improved it young lady.
I'll admit my first few attempts were unpredictable.
But now perfection! That's not perfection! You made it into some kind of a ghoul! Ghoul.
I like that.
You can't do that to slugs.
They're the key to everything here! You could destroy Slugterra.
I seem to have heard that once before.
I suppose it was silly of me to think a Shane would accept it.
We're done.
Here in this little contest you may think you're the hero, but out in the real world Eli Shane? Stay out of my way.
I don't know who you are, but my slug seems to and he doesn't like you.
I don't either.
I'm gonna be the new Shane.
Better get used to it.
Heh.
He's just a kid boss.
Shouldn't be any trouble.
But he's also a Shane.
And when the people have a Shane to get behind, that can be very bad for business.
Dr.
Blakk! Wadda ya want? To see you win today.
- I'm dueling a kid.
- You're dueling a Shane.
Never underestimate a Shane.
Well, I don't need your ugly slugs.
You know who I am.
You know what I'm capable of.
You'll use it against the Shane boy.
John Bull versus Eli Shane! Must be nice being Daddy's boy and havin' everything handed to you.
Wouldn't know.
My Dad's been gone a long time.
And no one handed me this! Bro! Less talking, more remembering what I taught you! And what was that again? "Don't talk when you should be blasting!" That's it!! Show him what a Shane is! C'mon, Eli! Last shot Burpy make it count! Winner! John Bull is the Winner! Alright Shane.
You know the rules! I'm sorry, guys.
One of you is gonna have to go.
I don't need your slugs.
Not when I have one of these! That's the Ghoul! Blakk gave it to you, didn't he? Who cares! Get lost! I don't need you.
And there's plenty more where this came from.
If you choose to follow in my footsteps Eli, it will be up to you to protect Slugterra from all kinds of dangers.
You're a Shane.
You have a good heart.
And whatever you choose, I'm proud of you.
I've waited my whole life to be sling slugs and be a Shane.
I just always thought I'd be doing it with my Dad.
Now I'm gonna have to find a way to do it myself.
Well, not completely by yourself.
You will have Pronto to guide you on your journey! And I'll make sure you get there, buddy.
I got your back.
And I'll spread the word across Slugterra.
Everyone will know a Shane has returned.
- It could be dangerous.
- We laugh at danger.
Most of the time I'm going to be making it up as I go.
That's how I live each day! We're going to go after Dr.
Blakk.
Whatever those Ghouls are, we have to stop him from making more.
- Thought you'd never ask.
- Alright! We're the new Shane Gang.
Where do we start? Somebody help! Guess that answers that.
Let's ride!
