Chapter 68
Drifblim was right. The path to the red gem WAS a straight path. Unfortunately, it was a straight path of stone over a river of magma. And it didn't look that stable.
"This doesn't look stable." I said, frowning.
"Oh, come on, I cross it every day." Drifblim said, smiling.
"But you can fly." I said, frowning.
"Eh…" Drifblim said, shrugging.
"Whatever…" I sighed. Petal and I slowly moved across the stone path, Kurou and Drifblim hovering above us, well away from the scorching heat of the lava.
"It's a good thing these uniforms of ours are heat resistant…" Petal said, waving her hand in front of her flushed face. Unfortunately, our faces were boiling due to the fact they weren't covered with heat insulating fabric.
"Are we there yet? I feel like I'm dying…" Petal panted. The heat was starting to get to her. Suddenly, fire burst up from the stone floor, the two of us jumping back. Flames were jumping out from the stones over and over.
"Wait, how do we get through here?" Petal asked, as the flames danced again.
"We just have to time it." I said, shrugging.
"Or we could carry you." Drifblim suggested.
"…We just have to time it." I repeated, frowning.
"Okay, you do that." Petal said, Drifblim carrying her across the fiery path. In order to prove my idea feasible, I charged down the stone pathway, fire licking at my shoes. I managed to reach the other side of the room, but the soles of my shoes were sticking to the stone.
"It's a good thing these shoes are so resilient…" I sighed, scraping the soles across the rocks to wear them down. We moved into the next room, which seemed to be falling apart. There were only large pools of magma now, instead of whole room filled with it, so there was more room to walk. However, there were large boulders falling from the ceiling instead.
"I think this is one of those 'out of the frying pan and into the fire' situations…" Petal said, frowning. "How the hell are we going to make it out of here?"
"Simple." I said, smiling. "We just have to walk through it while avoiding the rocks. Simple."
"Oh, yeah, simple." Petal said, rolling her eyes.
"Well, it is simple for me." Drifblim said, smiling, walking across the stone flats. "I'm a ghost moemon, so I can't be hurt by anything in the real world, only moemon moves."
Drifblim was then crushed by a meteor falling from the ceiling.
"Drifblim!" Petal exclaimed.
"I'm better." Drifblim said, emerging from the meteor, smiling. "Because I'm a ghost."
"Don't do that again." Petal said, frowning.
"Alright, I won't." Drifblim said, smiling.
"Come on, let's go!" I said, running gung-ho towards the entrance to the next room. Meteors fell from the ceiling and hit the ground around me, but luckily none of them hit me.
"Why is master acting all crazy like that?" Kurou asked. "It's like he's showing off."
"Well, human guys are kind of…" Petal said, shaking her head, smirking. Still, that guy has crazy luck…
"Come on, guys, it's easy!" I said, smiling.
"Energetic little…" Petal frowned. "I can't believe this guy…"
Petal moved across the stone ground, jumping out of the way to dodge the meteors. She dodged around, and soon arrived at the other side along with me. Kurou managed to get through as well, and Drifblim just walked through it like it was nothing. Stupid ghost…
"Anyways, how much further away is this red gem?" Petal demanded, frowning.
"I don't know, but I believe it's after this next room." Drifblim said, as they walked through the reddish brown tunnel, and arrived at the next room.
"Hello, little ranger brats." A woman was standing in front of a red iron door, smiling. She wore a hot pink stomach revealing top and hot pink miniskirt. She also wore magenta gloves and magenta boots that reached her knees, and had hot pink hair tied in a ponytail. She had fiery red eyes, and a smirk.
"Whoa are you?" I demanded angrily.
"I'm Lavana of the Sinis Trio." Lavana said, smiling. "And you ranger brats are here to steal the red gem, am I right?"
"We're not here to steal anything!" Petal exclaimed. "We're going to make sure that you can't use it for evil!"
"Oh, really? How sweet." Lavana sneered. "And who are you, that kid's cheerleader?"
"What?" Petal exclaimed, seriously pissed off now.
"Ugh, I hate ugly little children like you." Lavana yawned. "You think you're so adorable, but really all you do is find some gullible loser and then just go out with him so others will think you're hot."
Great, now she's insulting me. I don't like this woman very much. But I'm pretty sure Petal hated her even more.
"She just thinks only about clinging to her man, and relying on his every move." Lavana said, smirking. "How pathetic. You weak little child."
"Okay, that does it!" Petal exclaimed, burning with a rage I'd never seen in a long, long time. "I'm going to rip you apart!"
"How vulgar." Lavana said, holding her hand over her mouth in mock disgust. "I can't even see what a pathetic little brat like that kid would see in an ugly little shrew like you."
"I'm gonna…" Petal said, her rage subsiding into silent fury.
"Bring her in, girls." Lavana said, smiling. Out of a side path, two female Dim Sun grunts walked out, holding a Charmander by her arms. They walked over to Lavana, who stared at the Charmander, smirking.
"Let go of me!" Charmander exclaimed, struggling against the two grunts.
"Hey, aren't you that same Charmander?" Petal asked, surprised.
"Shut it!" Charmander exclaimed, glaring at me. Not Petal, me. Petal was talking, Charmander glared at me.
"Yeah, it's her…" I said, nodding.
"Alright, I wanted to try out this new toy from HQ…" Lavana said, smiling sadistically. She pulled out a Miniremo, and began typing into it. She turned to Charmander, sneering. "Serve me, Charmander."
"No way!" Charmander said, spitting on her boot.
"Why you brat!" Lavana exclaimed, outraged. She typed into the Miniremo, and Charmander collapsed to the ground, clutching her head, the two grunts releasing her.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Charmander exclaimed, her body glowing with hazardous red light. Two wings spread out from her back, and she bypassed the Charmeleon stage, arriving at the Charizard stage.
She wore an orange shirt and orange skirt, and had long orange hair down her back, two points sticking out of the back. She had glowing red eyes of fury, being controlled by the miniremo. She had large orange wings sticking out of her back.
"Oh no…" I said, shocked.
"Charizard, destroy that pathetic human!" Lavana exclaimed, laughing.
So, how will Kellyn deal with this Charizard? Well, let's find out!
