So, FoxyKhai0209 has an idea which involves her entering the tournament in The 99 Caverns and change Blakk's henchmen for the better. I think it is good as they usually enter the tournament and we can introduce new slugs and characters that we have created.

So please do enjoy!


We are in the Shane Hideout when we watch an advertisement about the upcoming slugslinging tournament on television. Khai wonders what it is.

"What is this?" she asks.

"That is the slugslinging tournament," Trixie answers.

"It is a competition where you can win slugs," Kord adds.

Khai becomes interested in it. "My team and I enter a tournament before, but The 99 Caverns' tournaments are unlike to my cavern's tournaments," she says.

"Oh, why?" Eli wonders.

"The tournaments can be slugslinging duels, fighting and magic duels," she explains. "Though, the tournaments can be a bit violent in fighting and magic duels."

"So... you will be okay?" I ask her worriedly.

"Yes, I will be okay," she replies. "So, how will I enter and what happens when I win?"

"Well, Pronto the Magnificent will lead you to the tournament and you will sign up there!" Pronto proudly says.

"They will choose the most dangerous caverns for the competition. The higher you go, the more dangerous it gets," Eli adds.

"And if you win, you get to take your opponent's strongest slug. But if you lose, you could lose any one of your powerful slugs," Kord explains.

"And the tournament can have different challenges, it can be 1-on-1 duels, 3-on-3 duels, Mecha-Back duels and Trick-Shot contest," Trixie says.

"Okay, I understand now," Khai replies. "But I feel worry if I lose, my beloved slugs will be taken away..."

"You won't lose, Khai. You are a powerful slinger!" Kord cheers her up.

"So what are we waiting for? Onwards to Herringbone Cavern!" Pronto announced.

So we ride on our mecha-beasts and travel to Herringbone Cavern, which is not too far ahead from Wild Spores Cavern, where the Shane Hideout is built.

Once we arrive, we see many people walking around the caverns. There are many slugslingers are practicing their skills using the targets given around the cavern. We walk towards the tent where the registration board is provided. Pronto snaps his fingers to get the attention of the tournament announcer while Khai writes her name down on the board. The man comes and checks her name.

"So... your name is... Charrize... Antoin..." he finds it hard to pronounce her full name.

"Just call me Khai," she says.

"Alright, you got the last spot to qualify. Good luck! You gonna need it," he tells her before leaving.

"Now you are a qualifier, you need to win to get into the tournament," Kord explains to Khai.

"So... what should we do now?" Khai asks.

"I think we should go around the cavern since you are already good in duels," I suggest.

"Okay," she replies.

"Follow me!" Pronto calls out.

We follow Pronto to see the area where the tournament will be held. It is a rocky environment with a single magma-filled chasm, criss-crossed by stone bridges. Khai is amazed to see it, and so do Junjie, Roza, Ha-Chan, Yamu, Zak, Falcon and I.

"You need to be careful, Khai. There is lava down there," I warn her.

"Don't worry. I'll be fine. My cavern has many dangerous caverns used for dueling," she explains.

While we are looking around, a man who is hiding behind a rock is spying on us, but we do not notice his presence.

Back with us, as we are looking around the cavern, Ha-Chan spots a plant with a few berries on it. She goes over there and wonders what they are. So she takes one berry and goes back to us.

"Khai! Khai! What berry is this?" Ha-Chan asks Khai when she goes over her.

"Oh, this is a Yanaoni Berry," Khai answers.

"What does Yanaoni means?" Nate asks.

"It means..." Before Khai can say it, Ha-Chan eats the berry! She feels weird and quickly opens her mouth as orange-yellow smokes come out. We smell it and freak out! It is awful!

We all cover our noses, except for Roza because she is a robot and cannot smell it. However, Pronto and Kord faint due to the awful smell. Eli, on the other hand, is rolling left and right. We scramble to our feet, panicking.

"It means... 'stinky berry'," Khai says the meaning.

"What's this?!" Trixie questions.

"Never bite off the inside seed... because it gives off the strong smell like shaking off sleepiness," Khai explains.

As the smoke clears, Kord and Pronto slowly regain consciousness. Eli is lying on the ground and his expression is hilarious. "It's a funny face!" Ha-Chan laughs at The Shane.

"Ha-Chan!" Eli yells and Ha-Chan burps out the stinky smoke from her mouth again.

"It stinks!" Eli cries out as Ha-Chan laughs like crazy.

"Give me a break," Junjie says.

After we recovered from the stinky smokes that Ha-Chan ate the berry, Ha-Chan is still laughing at Eli due to his hilarious expression he had made.

"I never knew about this Yanaoni Berry can be so stinky," Kord said.

"Much stinker than Flatulorhinkus!" John added.

The tournament announcer comes to Khai, telling her that the competition is about to start. Khai gets ready and goes to Herringbone Cavern to duel. When her opponent comes in, we are shocked to find that it is C.C.! Khai knows him as I have told her before that he and John Bull were stealing slugs from my cousins and uncle.

"So... you are Khai?" C.C. asks her.

"Yes, and you must be C.C., right?" Khai guesses his name. "And why would you do such bad ways on stealing slugs?"

"I did that for my boss, Dr. Blakk," C.C. replies.

"Dr. Blakk was using you for a long time without knowing," she explains to him.

"No, he gave me an opportunity to be powerful and I took it," he denies.

"Dr. Blakk lied to you. He just gave you a small power," she said.

"I do not believe in you," he blurts out.

Khai is about to say something but C.C. cuts in and says, "Enough words! Let's duel!"

He shoots a Hop Rock towards her, and she dodges it by jumping up 5 feet above ground. C.C. is so shocked, so do the Shane Gang, the crowd and me! She lands on the ground perfectly.

"How did you do that?!" C.C. asks her.

"I learned it from my teacher," Khai answers.

C.C. shakes that question off and continues to duel with her. He fires a Thresher slug but she quickly slings Rom, her Mega Morphed Rammstone. Rom knocks it away really hard, and she charges towards C.C. and knocks him off of his feet.

He recovers and he shoots a Tormato, while she shoots Sakura, her Mega Morphed Naturix. She performs Sakura Blizzard and the Tormato is blown away. C.C. got furious and he loads a new slug. It is similar to a Tazerling slug. Its body color is pale blue with a cyan belly and dark blue eyes. Its antennas are shaped like Tazerling slugs' thunderbolt antennas.

Khai is shocked to see the new slug and instantly knows that slug: it is an Electix slug. "C.C., no! That slug is dangerous! You don't know what it can do to you!" she warns him.

"I do not need to listen to you!" C.C. shouts. When he tries to sling the Electix, it ends up electrocuting him since he does not know that Electix slugs are more powerful than Tazerling slugs. It shocks him non-stop!

Khai thinks quickly before it gets worse. So she shoots Shelly, her Mega Morphed Armashelt. She charges toward C.C. and manages to knock him out and separate his blaster, which saves him. However, he is paralyzed and he cannot move.

Khai rushes to C.C.'s side. Reiki and Kenta, Khai's two different Boon Docs, are sent to heal him. Within a few seconds, C.C. moves, barely. He needs to go to the hospital though.

"Winner! Khai is the winner!" the announcer declares.

The Shane Gang and I congratulate Khai. The announcer tells Khai to take a slug from C.C. since she has won. The nurses and doctors take C.C. to the hospital, but before they go, Khai stops them for a moment and talks to C.C.

"C.C., that slug you tried to fire is powerful – more powerful than Tazerlings, because it can electrocute its slinger. You have not trained it yet, which causes it to backfire when you tried to sling it," Khai explains to him.

C.C. is a bit shocked by her explanation. "I have never seen a slug like that before," he replies.

"Electix slugs are very rare in Slugterra. They have powerful electricity – more powerful than Tazerling slugs as they can shock the victims and leave them paralyzed," she tells him. He is shocked and he feels bad of ignoring her warning during the duel.

"Well... I am sorry for ignoring your warnings," he apologizes.

"That's okay. You should quit working for Dr. Blakk and start a new life with honesty as your guide," she advises him.

C.C. thinks about it. "Dr. Blakk has nothing but evil in him, because he just uses his henchmen from the start," she adds.

He finally accepts her advice. "I will do my best as I can," he says. He gives her the Electix slug. "It's yours now." After that, he is sent to the hospital.

"So Khai, what are you going to name your slug?" I ask her excitedly.

Khai thinks for a while. "Thunderjaw, and it is a male Electix," Khai replies.

"But this slug is dangerously powerful," Kord warns her.

"It will be okay as long as you can bond with it," Khai explains.

After C.C. is taking away to the hospital, we all suddenly hear a growl. "What was that?" Kord asks when he hears that.

The growl comes from Ha-Chan's stomach. "Waah... I'm hungry..." she groans.

"Well then, we should have lunch now," Eli says.

"I agreed with you," Khai agrees with Eli. "It's a good thing I brought a picnic basket. Just in case if we get hungry." She walks over Shun where the picnic basket is placed at the back.

"Yes! A picnic would be delicious!" Pronto cheers.

Zak uses a sheet and places it on the ground. Khai places the picnic basket down. Pronto comes up to her. "What have you made for lunch?" he asks as he opens the picnic basket. To his shock: the picnic basket is empty.

"Huh?! Why the basket is empty!?" Pronto questions in shock. "Princess, you forgot the food!" His response makes Khai, Yamu and Zak laugh. "What? What's so funny?!"

"The picnic basket is no ordinary picnic basket: it's a magic picnic basket," Khai explains.

"A magic picnic basket?" Trixie is curious.

"Yes," she replies.

"How does it work?" Nate wonders.

"We can ask the magic picnic basket anything what we like," Yamu tells us.

"I will give an example," Khai says. "Magic picnic basket, please. Make us sandwiches with ham and cheese," she says to the magic picnic basket. Then, the magic picnic basket's lid opens as 20 sandwiches pop out! That shocks and amazes the Shane Gang and I.

"Whoa! That is so cool and amazing!" Eli exclaims in awe.

"Yeah, it is," Yamu says.

"Now, we need some more food," Khai tells us. She asks the magic picnic basket, "Magic picnic basket, please. Make us apple juice, toasted breads with blueberry jams, pizza, and spaghetti."

Then, all the food pop out from the magic picnic basket and lunch is served. We begin our lunch and are enjoying it, so do our slugs.

While having lunch, the announcer comes up to us. "You better hurry, Khai. Next round is on Scorched Sparks Cavern, and you will be dueling with other slingers," he informs us. Khai understands and the announcer leaves.
