Chapter 12

I place Anan, and Kilowatt on my shoulders.

"I am glad you are all safe and sound," at that I turned to Billy, "and thank you for the ride into town that made it a lot easier for me and my team." I grabbed his hand and gave him a steady handshake. The old man smiled and shook his head.

"Running off already," I smiled and chuckled I hadn't known Billy for very long but honestly he was one of those people who had that aura of kindness to them and I felt comfortable around him.

While me and Billy continue saying our good buys, the slugs engaged in a intense conversation, talking a lot to one of the younger rammstone.

Kilowatt Pov

He had one of the craziest weeks, like ever. Yeah he had just been taking a light nap when he had been snatched from his favorite spot, imagine his surprise to open his eyes to a running human yelling at him not to shock him and asking him for help. Of course Kilowatt being the heroic slug he was he agreed. The human had then thanked him and gave him food and snacks, so once the human gained enough courage to ask him to stay and become a member of the team he of course agreed. Becoming the slug of a kind slinger's team was the coveted dream of every slug in slugterra thus he jumped at the chance to join, and boy was he not disappointed though the treck through the forest was boring after fighting off the slug hounds for the tenth time, but his slinger had a few downsides, he was extremely naïve, he was too trusting that was why Kilowatt was going to make sure no one took advantage of his new teammate. That brought him back to the present, the rammstone that was around their age, had come up to them and asked about Iriel, Anan being the enthusiast slug he was started to explain how Iriel was a great trainer he provided snacks, and was super kind, if a bit childish at time. Hearing this Kilowatt could tell that the rammstone wanted to be on the team, after all good slingers that treated their slugs as teammates were few and far between, and just like he predicted the slug wished to join their team.

Iriel Pov

After me and Billy had said our goodbyes I turned to my slugs to gather them so we could hopefully get going soon we didn't exactly have to much time.

Finding both of the with a rammstone that looked excited but nervous, next to him was Anan who was giving me a pleading look, on the other side Kilowatt looked annoyed but accepting of something. Billy glance over at my hesitation seeing the three slugs standing together he frowned in confusion then it seemed like he realized what was happening and he smiled and chuckled.

"Seems like someone wants to join the adventure," a happy yet nervous chirp came from the rammstone as he nodded. Rubbing my chin I looked at the rammstone he was healthy looking, 'I do need a good battler' rammstone were a strong and hardy slug with long range, throwing rocks, close range, throwing devastating punches, and defensive capabilities, being able to create a strong rocky wall, it was an all rounder. Looking down at him I sighed, I needed money for the mecha-beast, but I couldn't just take a slug without paying for it, I considered Billy to be a friend now.

"I don't know if I will have enough money for you and a mecha-beast," I started to explain I heated an exasperated laugh next thing I know Billy pushed me out of the way he grabbed the slug and stuffed him in my hands, before I could reach to this Billy closed and locked the back of the cart and started pulling away.
