Wally sighed and turned back to the old, wounded gorilla, petting his fur gently.
"They have this healing power, when we got here they did it to me, maybe they can do the same for him." He suggested.
"No!" He heard as the monkey looked up at him.
"What?" Wally asked in shock.
"It's too late for me." The gorilla told him. "You have to save Kuki."
Wally turned to face him. "I...I can't they've gone! There's no way to catch them up on foot!"
The rainbow gorilla grunted in pain. "Use our transport, get Chicca to show you how to use it."
Wally nodded.
"This city will die without that crystal! It's what's keeping us alive."
Wally looked out of the cave, seeing that rainbow gorillas had lost their spirit, some of the older ones had grown weaker, and not one of them wore the usual smile on their faces.
"Find your friend. She's too special to lose her." The rainbow gorilla gasped, breathing heavily. "When you do find her...I want her to be in charge of this kingdom, she's the one who fully understands my city, she'll know what's best for them...find her...return the crystal...save my city!..."
Wally nodded again then asked what he had on his mind since the conversation started.
"Why can I understand you?"
The rainbow monarch gave a painful smile. "You're using your heart, Kuki explained it to you when you first got here..."
He then gave a sharp breath and doubled over in pain.
Wally gasped as the gorilla then lay still. Maurice sighed sadly and packed away his medic equipment, Chicca came in and stood by his fallen king, bowing his head sadly. Wally placed a hand on the red rainbow gorilla's shoulder.
"Sorry, but he told me to get you to show me something we can use to go after them." He said quietly.
Chicca looked up and him and nodded, he ran out of the room, Wally followed, they soon came to bike shaped objects, only they had no wheels.
"When you sit on it, your foot on here is accelerator, this one's break. Your hand on the handles will make it start. Good luck!" Chicca smiled. "You'll get them, I know it."
He then pulled Wally into a tight hug...and he thought that Kuki's hugs were bone breakers...
Chicca then walked back to the King's cave and Wally was joined by his remaining team-mates.
"What are you doing?" Cree asked.
"Going after them." Wally replied.
Cree scoffed. "That's crazy!"
"I didn't say it was the smart thing! But I know it's the right thing!" Wally replied. "Anyone else coming?"
Abby, Nigel and Hoagie joined him straight away, the teens hesitated, but Larry joined, followed by Jody and Maurice, Chad and Cree exchanged glances then walked over.
"Okay guys." Wally said, explaining the rules of how to work the bikes, he started his and it came to hover in the air. "Wow." He whispered.
They all mounted their bikes and started them.
"Let's go!" Wally called. He led the way as they sped toward the direction that Nathan and Lauren went.
The bikes flew at 70mph so they got to the volcano pretty fast, when they heard a loud bang, they all knew that Nathan and Lauren had blown the top of the volcano off in order to get out.
"Here's the plan." Nigel yelled. "We'll drive in low and fast, take them by surprise!"
"Here's some news for you numbuh 1!" Chad called over. "Nathan's never surprised and he's got a gun, a real gun!."
"Well have you got any other suggestions?" Wally shouted.
Larry replied from behind them. "Yeah! Don't get shot!"
They zoomed into the volcano entrance where they were greeted by a wave of bullets. Nathan had switched the M.I.N.I.B.U.S into flight mode and were now a quarter of the way up.
Wally gasped as he dodged Lauren's splurge gun.
"Crud! You said he only had a gun!" He chocked.
Chad shook his head. "I said that he was never surprised!"
Larry ducked to miss a bullet, placing his hand on one of the buttons as he did so, a multicoloured laser shot from the bike and caused a small explosion and avalanche where it hit the wall.
"Whoa, now this is getting good!" Larry chuckled.
"Larry! Quit playing around!" Chad screamed as he flew past.
"Guys!" Nigel interrupted, "We need to get that container with Numbuh 3 in it off that bus, Jody, Numbuh 2, you try and cut her lose while the rest of us keep them occupied!"
They all nodded and went separate ways.
They continuously flew around the M.I.N.I.B.U.S while Hoagie and Jody tried to cut the chains underneath the bus.
"So, you come here often." Hoagie joked.
Jody growled in frustration. "This is hardly the time!"
"I'm just trying to lighten the mood. Jeez." Hoagie tutted.
"Yeah, well you can lighten the mood when we're done, when it's a little more appropriate!" Jody replied.
Despite the distraction, Lauren noticed them and fired her splurge gun. Luckily, Hoagie noticed her and pulled her out of the way, they both jumped onto his bike and flew out of the way.

"We're not going quick enough!" Nathan said to Lauren, "Lighten the load!"
Lauren began to throw unwanted things off the bus.
"I think that's everything unless someone wants to jump." She said sarcastically.
Nathan chuckled, placing his hands onto her arms. "Ladies first."
He tightened his grip and threw her over, she hung for dear life on the chains of the metal container underneath.
Nathan chuckled and he looked over, but was soon greeted by a kick in the face, making him fall back.
"You said that we were in this together!" Lauren screamed angrily.
Nathan blocked her kick as he stood up.
"You promised me a percentage of any earnings! You told me you loved me!"
Nathan gave an evil chuckle and grabbed her hand as she threw a punch at him.
"Next time get it in writing!" Nathan Cackled. Throwing her over the edge. Then shouted after her. "Nothing personal doll!"
Wally jumped from his bike onto the bus, he grabbed onto it as he climbed in, then stood face to face with Nathan.
"You know what? I have to hand it to you, you kids are bigger pain in the necks that I thought possible, especially you! Small fry!" Nathan said as he dived at Wally, Wally dodged him and they began throwing kicks and punches at one another. Blocking and throwing.
"Tired Beatles?" Nathan laughed as he pulled a piece of wood from the side and swung it at Wally.
Wally nearly lost his balance on the edge but Nathan grabbed his collar, he then shoved him over the side, luckily, Wally grabbed the metal container which Kuki was in, he was hanging from it clumsily.
Nathan jumped after him, standing on top of the container and preventing Wally's chance to pull himself up.
He tried to hit him with the stick again, Wally moved out of the way just in time, it smashed the glass of the window.
"That's a shame, cause I'm just getting warmed up!" Nathan yelled.
Wally pulled a piece of the glass which had now become frozen with the crystal, he held it carefully in his hand. Nathan picked Wally up by the scruff of his collar and held his neck tightly as he hauled him into the air and held him up, nearly chocking him.
Wally slashed Nathan's arm with the piece of glass, making him drop Wally and hiss in pain.
Wally landed on the container and stood up.
The cut on Nathan's skin wasn't blood, it was a multicolour wound, which began to spread across his arm, Nathan tried to wipe it off but it wouldn't work. It wasn't long before Nathan's complete body was a glowing rainbow coloured figure.
Just when Wally thought that he was safe, Nathan continued to attempt to grab him.

Thanks to the soft ash, Lauren had landed safely, with just a few cuts and bruises.
She looked up at the M.I.N.I.B.U.S and moaned in pain as she pulled out Nathan's gun which she'd taken from him and took aim.
"Nothing personal." She grunted as she pulled the trigger."

The bullet hit Nathan, causing him to smash into small, sharp pieces, Wally shielded his eyes as what used to be Nathan's form broke.
One thing then struck Wally...nobody was driving this bus.
He looked over the side to see that they were plummeting down quickly.
"Crud!" He cursed, rubbing the piece of glass onto the chains, which then turned to the same crystal that Nathan had become.
"Nigel!" He shrieked. "Hit the chains! Now!"
Nigel took careful aim and Wally ducked as a rainbow laser broke the chains easily. They fell down and soon hit the ground, Wally gave a grunt then pushed the container out of the way frantically.
He moved it just in time, just escaping the M.I.N.I.B.U.S landing and exploding on the ground.
The loud boom was followed by silence.
"Thank crud that's over." Wally gasped.
They all landed their bikes and went to gather and check on one another, but the ground then started to shake, it began to feel pretty warm.
"The volcano!" Larry yelled. "It's about to go!"
