Yoshizilla: Well, it's finally here... the start of my favorite part of the entire fanfic, the hot and fiery Lethal Lava Volcanoes, also more well known as simply Lethal Lava Volcano. It is here where Yoshi's determination to go through Dinosaur Land to save his best friend is truly tested, and he will have to brave the fiery enemies he will encounter in this burning area. Enjoy, ladies and gentlemen!

------------

Yoshi and Strocky were walking towards the exit of the Triceratops Cove, which in turn led to the secret entrance to the neighboring Lethal Lava Volcano. Both of the two different dinosaurs could tell that they were getting close, as the dark, blue-colored cold walls that marked the Triceratops over were giving way to the hot, lighter, red-and-orange coated walls that easily marked the Lethal Lava Volcanos, with the orange marks being shown as styled flames.

Yoshi looked at Strocky. "So, you're the true ruler of the Triceratops Cove?" He asked again, still in awe when he was told earlier after being Lord Geznor.

Strocky nodded, a smile appearing on her elder, blue face. "That's right, young green Yoshisaurus," The female Styracosaurus told him, coughing a bit and then saying, "I was forced out of my throne by the arrogant and aggressive Lord Geznor, who claimed that I was too old and ill to continue rule and stated that the Triceratops Cove needed a strong and ruthless leader. But since you have defeated him, and with your help, I managed to recover..." She let out a sigh of relief, "And it was your actions that will help restore Triceratops Cove into the world that it was meant to be."

Yoshi smiled, and he then turned around, noticing the huge hole in the wall that he and Strocky was facing. "Hey, Strocky, is this it?" He asked, pointing at the wall.

Strocky nodded. "Indeed, it is." She moved closer to Yoshi. "Be careful, young green Yoshisaurus. Once you exit the Triceratops Cove, you won't have a chance to return. Those cruel creatures of the fire will come and attack you if you try to turn back, so my advise is to focus on your quest, and don't look back."

Yoshi nodded, saluting to Strocky. "You can count on me, Strocky!" With that, he dashed towards the hole.

Strocky smiled, waving, until she then got a thought. "Wait! Hold up, young green Yoshisaurus!" The elder Styracosaurus called out. "I have one more errand for you to do for me."

Yoshi turned around, and he ran up to Strocky. "Yes, Strocky?" He asked, listening carefully to Strocky before going into the hole.

King Morton and his gigantic Koopa army were marching through the gigantic, thick jungle of the Sauropod Forest. Most of them were starting to worry as they would expect Yoshi to have taken care of Lord Geznor, which the heroic green Yoshisaurus did.

King Morton turned around, facing his army. "Well, why are you struggling along?"

The minions looked at each other, then at King Morton, and shook their heads.

King Morton let out a sigh. "Never mind. Come, we're reaching the Ultra Brachiosaurus's lair." He chuckled, and the Koopa king marched forward, his worrying army right behind him.

Yoshi was running down the hot, red magma-hardened path in between the red-and-orange walls within the entry volcano of Lethal Lava Volcano. He remembered what Strocky has asked him to do as a small favor.

"Rescue her daughter, and she's a blue colored Styracosaurus named Scrotty, that'll be easy to remember," Yoshi told himself as he approached the exit of the entry volcano, "She's got to be somewhere in this fiery place..."

Going through the exit, he stopped right in his tracks and held onto the outer wall of the entry volcano as he glanced down, gulping as he saw red, boiling lava below him. He slowly moved along the small red ridge, and then, glancing down to see a yellow, magma-hardened path below him, he let out a sigh of relief and jumped down, landing on the path. He looked up, to see the path turning right, and then suddenly stopping, surrounded by red, boiling lava all around three corners.

Curious, Yoshi started to walk forwards on the path, and he looked to his left and right. On the right, he noticed that red, boiling lava was pouring down a large fall, being turned to the fall by the red, jagged rocks, formed between the red, boiling lava and the calm, blue soothing water. On the left, he noticed that large, red volcanoes were in the horizon, and yellow-orange colored lava were pouring down very slowly from the volcanoes' mouths, going down the volcanoes and forming into red, boiling lava. Yoshi was in awe, and he then suddenly stopped in his tracks, looking right ahead of him the red, boiling lava that cut off the path.

Yoshi scratched his head, and he looked around. "Hrmm...now where will I go?" He asked, shrugging as he glanced to the northwestern direction, to see a object swimming on the red, boiling lava. He blinked, and squinted. "Huh? Who or what could that be?" Yoshi asked himself, as the strange object got closer...
