"Linus?"
"Coral's – my deceased wife's – brother. He hates Dory! I bet he's got her!" Marlin snarled. A look of rage crossed his face but it was rapidly replaced by a look of frightened realisation. Gill, it seemed, had also put two and two together.
"The cave!" he said.
The two of them hurtled towards Linus and Gill distracted him while Marlin called through the sealed cave entrance to Dory.
"Dory – can you hear me?"
"MARLIN! HELP ME!" her voice sounded distant – but at least she seemed to have been shocked into remembering him. Marlin heard her scream and hurled himself at the boulder but it wouldn't budge. He turned to see what Gill was doing and saw he was in a heated fight with Linus.
"Marlin – get – Dory – out!" Gill ordered between dodges of Linus' attacks. Marlin nodded and, with his face set in grim determination, he continued his attempts to dislodge the boulder. Eventually, it shifted enough for Marlin to get in.
Cautiously, Marlin swam through a short tunnel and into a rocky cavern. He could see the outline of the largest anglerfish he'd ever seen…even though he'd only ever seen one other one. It could obviously smell blood because it was muttering in hunger.
"You will die! Your own blood is telling me where you are."
The large predator made a sweeping movement with its fins and was obviously about to put something in his mouth.
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Marlin shrieked, hurling himself forward. He had lost his wife, all but one of his 400 kids, his faith in himself and nearly his son. He was not about to lose his best friend too!

Gill and Linus were rushing at each other and tearing at each other with their fins. Gill was at a disadvantage because, although he was the larger fish, his crippled fin was a handicap in situations such as this. So, when Linus caught him on that side he was thrown to the floor and knocked out from the force of the impact.

Marlin whammed into the anglerfish and was sent flying shortly afterwards. Everything blurred and Marlin slipped into a blackness darker that any he had experienced before. The last thing he heard was a terrified plea for help from Dory.
After that there was no more.
A/N: - I hate hurting characters but what sort of story could it be without a bit of action and a few injuries here and there?!?! I hope you enjoyed it! READ AND REVIEW IF YOU WANT ANOTHER CHAPTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
