Slugterra

Mmmhmmmm...

TEN HUT!

AHH!

Rise and shine newbie!

It is time for the first step in becoming my "Pronto-gé".

Ugh, huh?

What?

My Pronto-gé!

I'm going to teach you everything I know,

so someday, when you ride triumphantly into battle,

everyone will stop, gaze upon you, and say,

well, he's no Pronto, but he'll do.

Augh!

Heh, my Flatulorhinkus, Stinky,

must have been playing in my boots again.

Nuh uh.

Morning guys, it's time to -

Whoa!

What crawled in here and died?

I know that stench!

Pronto unleashed the boot beasts again.

Woah!

Pronto, what are you doing?!

I am teaching young Tad

how to become a great warrior like Pronto!

Ugh, and you started with gas warfare?

Hey Tad, you up for a little target practice?

Outside?

Don't have to ask me twice.

C'mon guys, let's get out of here.

Hey! Wait!

What about my boots?!

After your performance yesterday,

I know you got some serious slug-slinging skills.

Thanks.

But all I did was aim and fire.

The slugs did all the work.

True.

But following the Code and bonding with your slugs

is what makes a good slinger great!

Hey, Pieper - knock it off!

Sorry, she's not used to being around other slugs.

Well, you're both part of the Shane Gang now.

Right guys?

Mmhmm!

Okay, let's get started.

Trixie?

Ready when you are, Eli!

All right, Burpy.

PULL!

Woah, cool!

Wow, what was that!

It's called Slug Fu.

Something I learned in the Eastern Caverns.

Can you teach me to do that?

Slow down, let's stick to basics for now.

Try knocking that can off the post.

Huh?

Oh boy...

HAHA!

Sling and a miss!

Hehehe!

...okay I'm done.

You okay, Sparcx?

Uh huh!

Hmm. Needs work...

But you've got it right,

giving your slugs names is the best way to bond with them.

Around here, we're just one big, happy family --

Come back here with my boots!

Every family's got a Pronto.

Look Eli, I know I can do better.

Let me try again with Pieper.

But not with that dinky slingshot.

Tad needs a decent blaster, with an accelerator.

Let's see what you can do with a real slingin' iron.

Woah!

My old blaster.

Seriously?

And I can use it?

You can have it.

Surface Brothers, right?

Heh, I don't know what to say.

Don't say anything.

Just show us what you can do.

Hey, don't sweat it...

Just when I was about to write the kid off,

he pulls off a sweet shot like that.

Yeah, looks like we might have another slug slingin' savant

from the surface, just like Eli.

Alright, let's step it up a notch.

Now that's what I call a good day of training.

Not to brag, but you kinda remind me of me,

when I first started.

Ho, ho, ho, that was a total brag.

But you're right:

You and the kid here are definitely surface brothers

from another mother.

Whoa, cool mecha?

It's yours!

Go on, give it a test ride.

This is all like a dream -

I've never felt like I belonged anywhere before

and now I'm finally down in Slugterra,

slug-slinging with the Shane Gang!

If he's going to be in the Shane Gang,

he'll need a bit more experience in the field.

Well luckily experience is something we're never short of

in the 99 Caverns.

Take a look at this.

Slugs, slugs, slugs!

Don't you weep, we got 'em cheap!

Come to the giant discount Slug-a-Palooza

in Antimony Cavern.

We will Slugggg Youuuuuu Sillyyyyyyyy!

Discount Slug-a-Palooza?

Sounds kinda fishy.

Yeah, and those slugs didn't exactly look thrilled

to be part of the deal.

I say we go check it out.

Good idea.

A low key mission like this is exactly what Tad needs

to get warmed up.

Hey, kid - you up for a little road trip?

Oh, yeah!

Ha ha ha!

So, newbie -

I can see that my training has paid off so far.

Uh, hehe, yeah, sure!

Oh yeah, Pronto, you've been a great teacher.

What's next?

Ahh, my specialty - tracking!

This cavern we seek is in unfamiliar territory.

Therefore I, Pronto, will use my superior skills

to find our destination.

And what skills are those, you might ask?

Nobody asked.

They are, in this order - -

an intuitive sense of direction,

a laser-like focus and, most importantly of all,

keen eyesight -

AHHHHH!

DIDN'T SEE THAT COMIIIING!

Hang on, Pronto!

AHHHHH!

Eh-?

Uh oh.

Agh!

Don't worry, buddy.

I got you.

Thank you!

Ahh... I see Antimony cavern!

Once again, Pronto's superior tracking skills have prevailed!

Okay, let's see what this is all about.

Slugs and money never mix.

These poor slugs.

I don't like the looks of this, one bit.

Wah!

These poor slugs.

Can you believe this?

If you ask me,

it looks like an accident waiting to happen.

This place is a mess.

Who could be responsible for a circus like this?

Circus?

This is a business, not a circus.

Circuses make me wanna puke!

Well, well.

If it isn't the "Scrap Force".

It isn't the Scrap Force!

The scrap yard is for amateurs.

We have our sights set for bigger and better things.

Henceforth, we shall be known as...

The Tough Guys!

Ugh...

Uh...

uh...

Uhh, The Tough Guys! Brilliant!

Nice going, boss!
