The Dragons of Metal, Sun, and Thunder
Chapter 57: Slugs in Equestria
Previous Chapter Next ChapterA week has passed since Cain has went to the temple of the Twin Deer Gods. And since our heroes have beaten an elite of Azi Dahaka, a Junko Enoshima displaced named Ashley Highsmith. Right now everyone is playing in a field. Soon some friends from down below will surface.

(Intro sequence but with a bigger Ash, Flare, and Tora.)
Pov: Keshaun
"So anything on Ashley?" I asked Caleb as he nods.
"Yeah. Memories of back in our old home, and in prison. But nothing on the location of Azi Dahaka's lair. But I did hear voices. Six more excluding Azi." Caleb said holding a computer with everything Ashley remembered.
"Two are displaced from the sound the fact they came with Ashley." I said thinking.
"Yeah. Anyway I want to go more into detail when Justice gets back. Where was he going again?" Caleb asked.
"He went to a playground with Ash, Flare, and Tora a few hours ago. They should probably be back now." I said as Justice ran in the research room panting holding something in his hands.
"Guys! You won't believe what I have!" Justice said holding his closed hands in our faces.
"Yeah definitely don't believe you have hands." Caleb said sarcastically.
"Shut up. I'm talking about what's in them." Justice said opening his hand showing something incredible.
A megamorph inferus slug from Slugterra and not only that but it's Burpy. Eli Shane's Slug best friend.
"An inferus slug. Justice, where did you find this?" I asked holding him as he rubs my thumbs.
"Ash was digging around and had him in her mouth. Oh crap I forgotten about Ash, Flare, and Tora!" Justice said running back to the playground.
"Let's follow him." I said as Caleb nods and follows behind.

When we got to the playground. I saw that there were multiple holes in the ground and Ash is in one of them. Flare is by the swings and Tora is behind a tree.
"Jesus, I know Diablos are great diggers but this kinda ridiculous." I said walking towards Ash.
"Oh hey Dad. What's up?" Ash asked eating a catus.
"I got news that you found this." I said holding Burpy as he looks around and waves at Ash.
"Oh yeah hey there little guy." Ash said smiling.
"Ash, can you show me where you found him and his friends." I said as she turns around and be looks back to me and nods.
"Grab my tail and I'll show you where they are." Ash said as I grab her tail(mind out of the gutter) and she begins to dig at high speeds.
"Give me a warning next time, Ash." I said dizzy.
"Sorry about that. This new version of my body is a bit stronger. Anyway we're here." Ash said showing me an underground cavern.
"Whoa. This is incredible. And this is where you found this Slug?" I asked looking around as Ash smiles and nods.
"Yep. Hey you guys I'm back!" Ash yelled as multiple Slugs jumped on top of her horns.
(The pink and cyan one is a constant mood)
"Even the Elementals. Incredible." I said holding my hand out.
"Elementals?" Ash asked confused.
"Oh yeah you don't know about the Slugs. Want to come with us? We have food." I said as every single Slugs stomach growls.
"Wait how are we gonna carry them?" Ash asked.
"I got that." I said using my D-GEAR to summon a jacket with many pockets.
(Intermission brought by a chibi Ash digging and a chibi Keshaun cleaning up)
"Is that all of them?" Ash asked looking in my pockets.
"Yep. All of them safe and sound and happy." I said as Burpy jumps on my left shoulder.
"Ready to head back?" Ash asked about to dig.
"Let me put Burpy somewhere more safe." I said putting Burpy in my hair. He chirps a little wondering why I was putting him there.
"Trust me. It's better if you were here." I said grabbing Ash's tail. (Out of the gutter)
"Okay, here we go!" Ash said digging at incredible speeds.
After a few seconds. We made it to the surface as I begin to spit out some dirt that got in my mouth and shake out the dirt in my ears.
"You really need to warn someone when you do that." I said pulling Burpy out of my hair.
"Sorry." Ash said smiling.
"You might want to close these holes." I said pointing to the many holes Ash made.
"Fine, I'll see you back at the house." Ash said heading to one of the holes.

An hour has passed and Ash finally got back from digging the holes. While I was waiting I was playing videogames with Spike, Gilda, Chrysalis, and Garbelle.
"So why did Ash make that many holes? I was just wondering." Chrysalis said as I paused the game.
"Diablos have a need to dig like a dog. Except 100x that need. It's more of like an instinct if anything. They can control it but they need to dig every once in a while." I said remembering about Diablos.
"Really, I would have thought she was really bored." Garbelle said.
"Well that could be a possibility as well. I just think the instinct one is a bit more thought out." I said
"I wonder. Also why is your jacket chirping?" Spike asked pointing at one of the pockets.
"I was going to show everyone in the morning but whatever. Here's what Ash found in the holes she dug up." I said pulling out Burpy as he waves to everyone.
"Whoa! What is it?" Garbelle asked as Chrysalis pokes him.
"He is an inferus slug. His name is Burpy. Burpy say hello to Spike, Gilda, Garbelle and Chrysalis." I said.
"So Ash dug up a slug. Lame." Gilda said blushing at how cute he is.
"You don't have to lie. You can pet him." I said holding Burpy to Gilda.
"Fine!" Gilda said scratching Burpy on the chin as he relaxes.
"Well might as well let everyone out." I said opening all of my pockets as every Slug jumps out.
"Hey everyone. We're back." Twilight said opening the door as the mane six, Keshia, Yuki, and Alice enters arriving back from their trip from Manehattan.
As she opens the door the girls began to look at what was happening as a Tazerling Slug waves at the girls.
Rarity passes out as the other girls look at him.
"Um, how was Manehattan?" I asked nervously.

(Outro sequence)
(Post credit scene:
At Azi Dahaka's castle
"So not only has Ashley failed to get the relics, she is also dead?!" Azi asked the two cloaked displaced.
"Yes. And I will take the responsibility of the failure." The bored voice said bowing.
"And where are you going?" Azi asked pointing at the the other cloaked displaced.
"Oh no where just going to the bathroom." The annoying voice said.
"You must think I was born yesterday, don't you?" Azi asked holding the displaced by the throat telepathically.
"No of course not boss. Please let me go. I'm sorry that Ashley died. In fact it was actually my fault." The annoying voice said choking.
"Fine. I need you anyway." Azi said letting him go as he coughs a little.
"Thank you." The annoying voice said.
"Shut it. You are helping Geargod with his experiments. Including transferring a soul to a new body." Azi said as he begins to chuckle before going into a full laugh.)
