Chp 8: Pizza Time
3rd POV
We see the court where the Shane gang are at while Pronto explain the situation.
Pronto: Ahem. Point of order your honor, I beg the courts indulgence to pleed for my uh guiltiness.
Flash back
The Shane gang were taking a walk through the town.
Pronto: It was a simple misunderstanding, really.
Pronto snatched a chewing gum from Trixie without her awareness and eats it. But suddenly it tasted so bad that he immediately spits it out. Costing him to get caught by the security in the cavern.
Security: Spitting on the sidewalk is illegal in this town. Judge Logan has us enforce the law with no exceptions.
Flashback ends
Pronto: Its just gum! In conclusion, I threw myself on the mercy of the court! Oh please your honor! Pretty pretty pretty pleasewith the uh chocolate sauce on it!
Logan: Hmm....guilty!
Eli: Well he did actually do it. So let's just pay the fine and get out of here.
Logan: 50 years hard labor.
The judge laugh as they handcuffs Pronto.
Shane gang: 50 YEARS!?
Trixie: Oh, its all my fault. I had to do something to stop him from stealing my gums. I thought it would teach him a lesson.
Eli then steps up and tries to convince the judge to let him go since 50 years in labor for spitting gum in the sidewalk is ridiculous. However, the judge didn't care even if he's a Shane, thought Eli is lucky enough that no one else in the gang gets arrested too as they drag Pronto to the prison. Afterwards, they head out where YN is spinning his blaster out of bored while waiting by their mechas.
YN: Let me guess, the judge took Pronto in prison and let you guys go.
Eli: Well, it would've been easy if you'd help us out back there.
YN: I've already told you. Judge like them are corrupted enough that they'd do whatever it pleases themselves. (Sigh.) This is why I became the outlaw, so that nobody tells me what to do that's bad. So what now?
Eli: For starters, we to poke around this jail and see what its made of.
Trixie: (Confused.) Why?
Eli: (Smirk.) Because we're gonna bust Pronto out.
YN: (Smirk.) And that's why I like about being an outlaw in caverns like these. Though it won't be easy for break out.
Eli: Don't worry, I got a plan.
Time skip, YN POV
YN: This is a terrible idea...
Trixie: You agreed to the plan.
YN: Only because it was 3 against 1.
We were all outside of the prison, Kord is delivering a cargo supplies while Trixie and I are on a look out for any suspicious guards. But the one thing I really don't like is where Eli is the one who's taking a shot with his own Speedstinger slug.
Flash back
Four of us are at the Shane base and planning out of how to free Pronto and the other prisoners since they were also toss in jail by judge Logan. But it gets worse, the prisoners will be sent to work with Blakk.
Eli: Dr. Blakk?
Kord: That's what my source tells me, judge Logan clears out his jails and Blakk gets free workers for his smelters.
YN: If Blakk finds out Pronto is one of them. He'll start interrogation with him about our vulnerability, slugs, skills, you name it.
Eli: Well how long do we have?
Kord: A few days maybe.
Eli: Then we need to move fast. Now let's go over the plan.
Kord has a cargo supplies which he took the drivers place for once. This gives us the good advantage to blend in without being detected.
Eli: Now, tell me about the shot I've gotta make.
Kord: Its pretty close to impossible, so I got you this.
Kord hands Eli a special type of scope that gave you every angle when sniping and a speedstinger slug who has goggles to look where Eli is aiming.
Wait, a speedstinger slug?
YN: Wait, hold on Eli. Why do you need to use a speedstinger slug for this plan?
Eli: We're getting there, let's go over with the plan.
We all gathered around to hear the rest of his plan. His plan is to use the slug to make its way through the prison by Eli's shot and free the prisoners and giving them the chance to get to the cargo supplies in order to escape clean.
Eli: Okay guys, let's go spring Pronto.
YN: Hold on Eli, how bout I make the shot? When it comes with using a speedstinger slug, its not gonna work because it takes time to get them to hit right where you need them to hit.
Trixie: He does got a good point.
Eli: Don't worry, with this scope, I'm sure I can definitely make the shot. Besides, time is racing with us.
YN: (Sigh.) Okay then.
Flash back ends
I did try to talk him out that it ain't gonna work, but I guess he'll have to see it to believe it in the hard way.
YN: Well, let me know how bad it goes.
I lay down by the rock and use my hat for shade on my face until I hear Trixie.
Trixie: You're kinda a bit too worried about this?
YN: Nope, just wait for it.
3rd POV
Eli was at a sniping distance as Kord is delivering a cargo supplies. He takes a steady aim and shoots. Successfully hit the cargo, but it was then everything went straight to south when his speedstinger bounce in a wrong way by hitting Kord's head and soon crashes through everything.
Eli: Uh oh. Oh man, not good.
Eli just walks away to avoid any trouble where the plan completely failed. Soon they all went back to Shane base after the plan went disaster.
Eli: (Disappointed.) That was a complete and total disaster...
YN: I told you it wasn't going to work.
Trixie: The one weak spot in your plan is that nobody can make that shot.
Kord: Yeah nobody. Well, except maybe you know.
YN: (Smirk.) Mario Bravado.
Eli: (Confused.) Mario who?
Trixie: What? Oh come on, Mario Bravado.
Kord: (Smiles.) Only the greatest trick shot slinger ever.
Trixie: Here, check it out.
Trixie shows them one of the videos of Mario Bravado trick shot. In the video, Mario is on his mecha beast and holding his blaster while being blindfolded.
Trixie: He could make any shot.
YN: Without even a single misstep. He became very popular.
Kord: Yeah, had his own show and everything.
Eli: What happened to him?
Trixie: Apparently, he dropped out of the spotlight and now owns a restaurant out in the middle of the nowhere.
Eli: (Smirk.) Well I think its time Mario Bravado made a comeback and fast.
YN: I can take you there, I know where his restaurant is.
Eli: (Nods.) Lead the way.
YN nods back before the two of them got on their mecha beast and heads towards the restaurant.
Time skip
They soon made it to the a small town which it wasn't really special. But it was good enough.
Eli: This can't be the right place.
YN: Trust me, this is definitely the right place.
Eli: Okay but why would a trick shot legend live here.
YN: If you want to hide where you don't draw too much attention. Then this is the best way to hide plain and sight. Speaking of which, we're here.
They arrive at a pizza restaurant as they got off their mechas.
YN: Hey, how bout you let me do the talking. This'll be easier before you know it.
Eli: And for that, I'll leave it to you.
YN nods before they got in the restaurant. They look around and see Mario Bravado outfit and his blaster by the wall.
???: Hey, welcome to ricochet pizza.
Mario: We sling the best price in Slugterra-
Mario then notice YN is here and he fold his arm as he glares at him.
Mario: Well, well, well, if it isn't the outlaw YN LN. Here for a pizza duel?
YN: Now, now, let's not get too cheesy here.
Mario: Yeah, your right. Maybe this time, but in here, it always gets cheesy for the slugs.
YN and Mario were glaring at each other as Eli got worried until they both laugh.
Mario: (Laughs.) Always started with the cheesy part, huh?
YN: (Laugh.) Hahaha! Its been a long time old friend!
Mario: Too long.
They both hug as well as Ace and Mario slug did the same while Eli got confused.
Eli: Wait, you guys know each other?
YN: Yeah, we go way back when we were kids.
Mario: Still feels like yesterday when we tried to break the record. So what can I do for you two?
YN: How bout we start with my favorite type of pizza?
Mario: Alright coming right up.
Eli: Wait, but we have-
Mario: (Interrupt.) Sorry, but out here, if you wanna talk, order something.
YN: (To Eli.) Just watch and learn. Trust me.
They see Mario uses a spoon for his speedstinger as a throwing object. Once he swings, his slug hit and bounce couple of things. But everything it hit was to successfully make the pizza as the food landed in the oven before closing to cook.
Mario: All right, only a few minutes for your pizza is ready. Now what exactly are you doing here?
YN: Right, down to business. We need your help, well actually. (Gesture.) This is Eli Shane, he needs your help.
Mario: (Surprise.) A Shane? Now that's a surprising. But what exactly do you need my help for?
YN: Short version, a friend of ours is in prison for no good reason. So we're trying to break him out and with speedstinger could be our best advantage.
Mario: Well, you could've teach him how.
YN: Yeah but come on, you're more skilled than I am. Besides, its been a while since I've had pizza.
Mario: hmm....
YN: Mario, every prisoners in there are going straight to Dr. Blakk. We both know how bad he is. I'm asking for help as a favor to a friend.
Mario: (Sigh.) Alright, I'll help. But we're not gonna get start with empty stomach.
YN: Fair enough. Owe you one.
Mario then serve them a pizza and they eat before Eli ask YN with curiosity.
Eli: Hey, so what happened to him when he dropped out.
YN: That's a question you gotta ask him. But how we knew each other, goes way back before he became a trickshot and I became the outlaw.
Flash back, YN POV
YN: Okay, you ready?
Mario: I am. Are you?
YN: (Chuckles.) This time I am.
We were kids and we had blindfolds on and blaster with speedstinger slugs ready.
Mario: Ready.....GO!
We both blast at the same time and our speedstinger slugs hit and bounce multiple cans, bottles, and cups. The challenge was whoever hit the most, wins. But turns out Mario won by 14 to 11.
Mario: (Smirk.) 14 to 11.
YN: That's gotta be a new record. I might've won if I was fast enough.
Mario: (Laugh.) Maybe next time.
YN: Hey, at least I'm a sharp shooter. Takes a lot of practice for both of them.
Both of our slugs came back as we pick them up.
Mario: Up for next round?
YN: Nah, I gotta get back before dinner.
We wave before leaving back home.
Flash back ends
Its been a few hours since my friend is training Eli for trick shots with speedstinger slug. As much as I know its taking too long to train, its necessary because stuff like this you can't always rely on tech. Especially when you just used it recently, its about sharping your skills and trusting them.
Right now, I'm with Kord and Trixie near the prison. Keeping an eye out on any changes in the prison. Just hope Eli is ready when the times right. But suddenly we see the prisoners are being transferred to the train including Pronto.
YN: This is not good. We gotta make our move soon.
Kord: There's a lot of guards over there. We're gonna have to do it once they're on the move.
Just then we heard Eli who arrived just in time.
Eli: Good news, I got trained up and I brought Mario Bravado to back me up.
Kord: (Smiles.) Hey, look at you. Wow you're really are Mario Bravado. Do you remember the episode of your show number 56 where you shot that slug-
Trixie: Kord, we don't have time for this. Nice to meet you Mario, love the jacket.
YN: (Approaches Mario.) Good to see you again.
Mario: Good to be back.
We both handshake until we hear the train leaving.
Kord: We got some bad news Eli, they're leaving. Now.
Eli: I didn't plan for this, I planned for a trick shot to break them out of jail.
YN: Guess we gonna have to do this either way.
Eli: But-
Mario: You can do it kid, put all your ingredients together. Its just as easy making a pizza.
Trixie: (Confused.) What have they been doing?
YN: No time, I'll explain it on the way. We got a train to catch.
Everyone nods as they got on the cargo while I'm on my mecha. We wasted no time to chase after the train. Soon we notice that they're heading to the tunnel, only a few minutes before it enters with the prisoners.
YN: Floppers, this ain't good.
Trixie: Once the express goes in that tunnel, we won't be able to follow. It'll be too late!
Eli: Talk about trick shot. Take out the guards, free Pronto, and try to stay on this wagon.
YN: Not the first time we've been through worst.
Eli: Good point. Kord, you focus on driving. Trixie, we need you as a spotter. And YN, we need you to cover us.
I nod and runs ahead, soon the guards begin shooting ghouls at us. They got a good start, but we hit them back hard.
YN: Alright Ace, let's do this!
Ace nods and I blast him towards the guard, it was like a bouncy ball hitting the guards a lot.
Kord: They're almost at the tunnel!
Trixie: No!
Kord: How are we gonna get them off the train one by one? We don't have time!
Trixie: The pin that hooks Pronto cart to the train, that's our only hope!
YN: I'm on it!
I accelerate my mecha to its speed and use Allen to knock the guards away before jumping on the train. After that, I made my way to the pin that's holding the cart and try to pull it out but it won't budge.
YN: Its jammed!
Eli POV
I notice YN is having trouble pulling the pin out. I gotta do something before we're out of time.
Eli: I can't take out the pin and the switch in one shot, that's impossible!
Mario: No its not! Just remember what I taught you. Find the ingredients, the layers, plan it out.
Eli: Okay Stunts, let's do this!
Stunts nods as I take a deep breath and concentrate. Looking all the angle and plan it out. As soon as I plan it out, I shoot Stunts.
Just as I predicted, Stunts manage to pull the pin out and hit the switch before the prisoners cart went to the different direction. Everyone cheered until we heard Trixie.
Trixie: We got a major problem!
3rd POV
They all look and see there's a cliff up ahead with no more tracks.
YN: We gotta slow it down!
Trixie shoots Spidey as it attached its web from the cart to the rocks to slow it down. While Mario uses his slug to free the prisoners, YN quickly gets an idea and uses his lavalynx name Bolin to melt the wheels. With it, it slows down until it stops right at the end of the cliff.
YN: Phew. (To the prisoners.) You guys alright?
They all nod and got of the train cart.
Eli: (Grin.) Now that's slinging some pizza!
Mario: (Grin.) You've said it kid.
YN: Pizza or not, you still got it.
Pronto: Mm, all this talk of pizza has given Pronto a powerful hunger for the extra cheese.
They all laugh before we head back to Mario's pizza restaurant to celebrate their freedom.
Pronto: It was hard on the inside. Let me tell you, and the food was atrocious.
Trixie: Pronto, you were barely there for two days.
Pronto: And yet I survived.
Mario who's holding and glancing at his blaster, thinking about his last until Eli interrupted him.
Eli: You can still make the best trick shot. If you're ever ready to make a comeback for real, you've got a spot for our team.
Mario: (Smiles.) Thanks, but I'll stick to slinging pizzas. For now. But someday, hey who knows?
YN: Well if you're ever in trouble, just know you got close friends who can help.
Mario: (Chuckles.) Same goes for you. Maybe next time we see each other again, let's challenge again sometime.
YN: Oh man, you're so on.
They handshake like bros.
Kord: Its great that we got Pronto out, but what are we gonna do about judge Logan?
Trixie: (Smirk.) Give him a taste of his own medicine.
Time skip to the court.
Logan arrive to his desk and spotted a present gift. He opens it and reveals to be a chewing gums. He happily takes one and chew it until it suddenly taste terrible that he had to spit it. Soon the guards place their hand on his shoulder.
Guard: Sorry your honor, spitting's illegal in these parts.
The guards drags him to the prison while Logan tries to protest.
Logan: What? No wait! I was framed, that gum was awful like hot sauce and rotten fish!
2nd guard: We enforce the law with no exceptions. Your orders sir.
Logan: What!? Wait hold on! This is ridiculous!
Sorry for this late update, this was supposed to be uploaded yesterday but to tell you the truth, I went to go watch a movie with my friends and family to watch the movie called Sound of Freedom. You guys should watch it, it really means something.
