1x26 - What Lies Beneath
[laser fire]
- They seem angry. - Like they really want to hurt us.
It must have been something I said.
This happens from time to time.
[laser fire]
Huh?
- How's it looking out there? - Let me check, cover me!
[laser fire]
I love grenuke slugs.
Ah!
Huh?
Oh, man! Here comes Dr. Blakk.
Got 'em pinned down boss.
Keep moving forward...
they have no place else to run.
[war cries]
- Here they come! - I don't see any way out.
Then Pronto will fight to his last slug!
Unfortunately, that would be him.
Eli, they're trying to push us backwards.
- Towards that... - Eli: The Great Abyss.
Dr. Blakk thinks he's got this game all figured out.
Well we're going to bend the rules a little. Follow me.
[war cries]
[amused laugh]
Trixie: Eli! This goes to the gorge.
- It's a dead end. - Blakk wants us in that gorge?
Let's give him exactly what he wants!

[Pronto screams]
Next time you feel like "bending the rules" like this, Eli?
Don't.
We'll be fine. Just have to deploy our newest upgrade...
Pull the red doohickey... now!
[screams]
[screaming]
Okay, get ready to land!
Whoa!
I'm fine, I'm fine!
Let go of me! You act as though I am a bumbling fool.
[yelps]
Well, don't just stand there, help me up!
[grunts]
Guys, check it out.
[all gasp]
Well, that takes care of them. Eh, boss?
Even if they did survive the fall,
there is no hope for them now.
We're moving out!
That's not something I expected to find here.
What do you think it is?
I've seen one of these before.
It looks just like The Drop.
If the Shanes could build an elevator to from the surface to Slugterra,
they could also build one from Slugterra to down here. [giggles]
Why would a Shane want to come here?
I'm so glad you asked.
For Pronto has devised a most convincing theory. You see...
- Pronto... shh. - Huh?
[farts]
What do think it is?
Eli: No idea.
Whatever it is, they're pretty eager to get down there.
Come on!
[excited chirping]
Hey! Where are you guys going?
[excited chirping]
Where are we?
[chirping in awe]
- Those are slugs! - Something's different about them...
Ah!
All I know is that's one heck of a force field.
I don't think I want to know what it's holding back.
Eli... Shadow Clan.
Everyone stay calm. Don't make any sudden moves.
I'm just going to put this on so I can understand you, okay?
[whispery voice] Who are you?
How have you come to possess the Shadow Talker?
Answer!
I'm Eli Shane. It belonged to my father.
- What is this place? - The very edge of Slugterra.
You have arrived at a crossing, and just in time.
Crossing? To where? [screams]
The Deep Caverns, home of the Darkbane.
Our Guardian slugs help keep their armies at bay.
Guardian slugs?
The most powerful slugs of all.
[thudding]
[whispers]
He says the constant attacks on the force wall
is sapping their strength.
More Guardians are on the way,
but he's not sure how long they can keep this up.
It could fall at any moment.
- Can our slugs help? - You have powerful slugs indeed.
Very impressive...
but they're not ready to be Guardians yet.
[sad chirp]
Then we just gonna have to find the way to stop
whatever's doing this until the cavalry arrives.
I know of no other way to reinforce this wall.
I'm not talking about reinforcing. We have to fight back.
You would risk your lives for this?
We're the Shane Gang. That's what we do.
We cannot risk opening the passage,
but this shadowalker will transport you inside.
[whispers]
Do you want the good news or the bad news?
It's a one-way trip, isn't it?
He says this won't work once we're inside.
What's the good news?
We get to save Slugterra from unspeakable evil?
According to him, if the Darkbane army breaks through,
we'll never be able to stop them.
Well then, what are we waiting for?
Move quickly. Go!
Whoa!
Kord: Welcome to the Deep Caverns people.
[roars]
That must be the Darkbane.
[grunts]
[whimpers]
We're supposed to stop this thing?
[roars]
Start slinging on my mark! Ready... fire!
[evil laughter]
What's wrong with our slugs? They didn't transform.
The dark energy here must be canceling out their powers!
Midlanders! Surrender or face oblivion!
All: Ah!
These guys throw lava.
[yelling]
Run!
[grunts]
[yelping]
[screams]
Dark Water!
You will come with us.
Doesn't look like we have much of a choice.
[farts] [chuckles]
Sort of makes you miss the ghouls...
Eli, look.
I see it. That's the sun.
We don't have many opportunities to accept visitors here.
Your Guardian slugs see to that.
[angry growl] Who are you?
I am Brimstone, High Commander of the Darkbane.
Why are you here, midlanders?
You've been trying to knock down our force field.
We came to stop you.
- And how is that going? - Could be better.
But right now an army of Guardian slugs
is on the way to defend the passage. They may already be there...
Then so be it. Even if our Behemoth fails,
we have other ways to reach the realm above.
And when Slugterra is laid waste,
our path continues to take back what is ours.
We will have everything.
[cheers]
We'll stop you. All of Slugterra will.
Strong words, coming from a boy.
Your force field is at the breaking point.
A legion of Darkbane are preparing for the final assault.
There is very little you can do, except watch.
[whispers]
Ah. That explains things.
He says he knows you. He says you are a Shane.
It makes you useful to me.
And that, young Shane, just saved all your lives.
Find them a room. They can keep their worthless slugs.
It will remind our guests how helpless they really are here.
[yelps] Hey!
Eli: Hey! How do you know who I am?
At least tell me your name. It's only fair...
We can't let them keep us here Eli.
That Behemoth could ride through the force field any minute.
I know.
I hope at least they provide comfortable beds.
My back can't handle another prison slab.
[grunting]
[angry growl]
We'll take cover up there!
It doesn't look good, Eli.
There's got to be a way to make our slugs work down here.
Some way to counteract the dark energy.
[soft chirping]
Dark Water?
You can't be serious.
Come on. If he has an idea, let's hear it.
There may be a way to use our slugs down here.
We'd have to ghoul them. [all gasp]
That's actually a good idea. [gasp]
Ghouls are fueled by the evil energy in Dark Water...
the same energy that's keeping our slugs from transforming.
As ghouls, they'd probably be immune. [gasp]
The mechanics behind ghouling are pretty simple.
I can mod our blasters to do it.
[gasp]
They won't be as powerful as the ghouls Dr. Blakk uses,
but they'll still pack a punch.
[gasp]
I can't believe you guys would even consider this.
It goes against everything we've been fighting for.
And now we're fighting against that. [roars]
Kord: Sometimes you gotta bend the rules.
And they don't seem conflicted.
Doc can cure them as soon as we get home. [affirmative chirps]
I get it! But there has to be a rule that even we won't bend!
This seems pretty close.
Are you sure you guys are up for this?
[affirmative chirping]
Okay. But we don't have much time.
[groans in disgust]
[excited chirping]
Sorry about this, Burpy.
Huh?
[grunts]
[roars]
All: Eli!
[snarls]
He's actually kinda cute... in a possessed by evil sorta way.
[grunts]
Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!
- Burpy! - Some things never change.
[whimpering]
Guys, our little light show may have attracted some attention.
We'll fight our way straight to the force field
and use our ghouls to stop the Behemoth.
Remember everyone, there's Dark Water in here.
- Be careful. - Careful is Pronto's middle name!
[groaning]
[evil laugh]
[screams]
Midlanders! Surrender or face oblivion!
Yeah, we've heard that one before. [grunts]
[grunts]
[trumpet sound in distance]
Head to the wall! Go!
[roaring]
Nice work, Chiller.
[music]
[grunts]
[groans]
Stop it! Hey! Wait your turn!
That's the last of 'em.
Okay everyone, let's stop that Behemoth.
It's just too big! Our ghouls are like gnats!
So how are we going to bring that thing down?
[growls]
[whimpering]
If we can't take it down, aim for the rider!
You've made use of our Dark Water I see.
It's becoming very popular.
Oh... you're not the first of your kind to come here.
I've dealt with humans before...
even the Shanes.
Strike again! The force field is failing.
The Guardian Slugs are weak!
[screams]
At last!
Run for the crossing!
We'll try to hold them back from the other side.
- I know! We'll fix them. - Eli!
[war cries]
[evil laugh]
Fire everything you've got, we can't let them through!
All right, Burpy, give him your worst. [growls]
Attack!
[whispers]
The shield's going back up! Look, it's Doc!
Eli! Book it or you're going to be a permanent resident!
[grunts]
We'll meet soon enough, Shane.
You really saved the day this time, Doc.
[bashful chirp]
You have done a terrible thing,
corrupting the essence of these slugs.
Almost unforgivable.
If it makes you feel any better, it was their idea.
[proud chirps]
[whispers]
He says that earlier,
when he told our slugs weren't ready to be Guardians...
He missed one.
There is no greater honor for a slug
than to serve as a Guardian.
[happy chirping]
We're proud of you, Doc.
And we'll see you again soon. I promise.
