Plot[]
The episode starts with the gang visiting Red Hook, trying to make Eli a fusion blaster. After being skeptic about it, Red Hook finally tells them about the a Vitalis Crystal, that he needed build the double barrel, and the Gang leave to find one. Arriving at The Scrap Heap, Kord checks to see if one is in stock, finding one in an air freshener. After finding it, the Shane Gang encounter the Scrap Force, a gang of slingers, run by the smarter Boss Ember. After a small fight, the gang looses when an Xmitter is used. Eli then duels Ember, who reveals his other limbs, unleashing a barrage of Slugs at Eli. After a battle, the gang manage to start escaping with the crystal. However Ember follows them, only to get knocked back to deepest storage. After showing Red Hook the crystal, he begins production on the Double Barrel, while Dr. Blakk is already making his Gattler mend.
