Author's note: MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ROCK!!!!!!! The thrills, chills, and excitement to come in this chapter...GET READY FOR ONE EXPLOSIVE event!

Brace yourself, this could get HOT!

By the way, happyham, Seth is not a Mewtwo morph because and injection was made and it stopped the dna development for Pokémorph material, therefore stopping that section of the dna growth. That is why Seth is not a Pokémorph. Thanks for asking!

Ignoring my bad jokes...Read on, my faithful band of reviewers!

Loving from (A sibling love)

Me

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

Kip, Seth and Kieran flew around the volcano, searching for an entrance. Beside them, Dragonsong and Arrow flew, both extremely concerned about their masters.

"Do you think they're ok?" Kip said. Seth looked worried, and, to his surprise, so did the ever-confident Kieran. If Kieran's concerned, things can't be good...

"I can't see an entrance anywhere!" Kieran said, frustrated. "How much longer until this thing blows?"

"Judging by the high emissions of ash and toxic fumes, along with the tremors...I'd say...20-25 minutes? At best."

"That can't be good."

"No, it's not."

"There's not enough time..." Kieran said suddenly. Kip looked over at him.

"Of course there is!"

"No, there's not. If we don't find them really, really soon, there won't be enough time to get out of here!"

"He's right..." Seth said, flying down. "And we've circled this thing 10 times and haven't found a singe entrance. And if the girls aren't in a state to move..."

"..."

"Yeah."

They kept flying, the hope in them almost gone. Kip, as hard as he tried, could not sense any energy from Gaby whatsoever. That meant...

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

"IRON TAIL!" Lily shouted. Her tail turned a silvery colour. Then she whacked the rocks as hard as she could. But with all her efforts, they barely move at all.

"That wall...Is about...Ten feet thick," Gaby said, taking small breaths in an attempt to not inhale any more hot ash.

"It's no use! With only these too Pokémon and no Psychic powers, there's no chance of getting out of here!" Lily said, sitting down beside Gaby, who was coughing again.

The Pidgeot gave a sudden shrill cry. They all turned to see the Pidgeot flapping its wings wildly trying to get their attention. To their horror, bubbling liquid was seeping through the cracks in the rock. Lava.

"Shit!" Lily said. "Gaby, return your Pidgeot," She said as she returned her own Pokémon. "That's Lava. And it means were trapped in a Lava flow area."

"And that means...?" Gaby said, returning her Pokémon. The ash was making her very light-headed.

"That means that outside our cave, Lava flows up freely. This is a little indent in the wall..."

"So Lava's rushing 10 feet away from us?" Gaby said, backing away from the wall of rock.

"Yeah."

"Shit."

"That's what I said. Now, I can withstand Lava to an extent, but you..."

"I have no resistance to heat...Or ash," Gaby said, coughing up some blood-covered ashes. She was sweating, and very, very pale.

"Oh Gaby...You're not going to stay conscious much longer..." Lily said, climbing to higher ground as a sliver of a drip of molten rock crawled slowly towards her. "I don't know how much you can take..."

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

"We have to get out of here and help them!" BraveWing said.

"Wherever 'here' is," Blackbeak said.

"Well, let's break down these rocks!" Slicksilver said, facing the mountains wall of fallen rock that blocked their exit.

"Right. It looks thick...Let's all attack it at once," Red said. They all got ready.

"Ready...GO!"

Each Pokémon used one of their special attacks on the wall: Steel Wing, Razor Leaf, Hydro Pump (I know Lugia aren't water types, but I think they should be!), Rock Throw, Arial Ace, Faint Attack, and Flamethrower. The combined attacks blew the rocks into pieces, clearing the way.

"Yeah! Alright!" Affection said.

"Now let's go find our masters!" BraveWing said.

They all flew or ran out. Gaby's 3 were following Lily's, because Gaby's life signal was so weak, they couldn't detect it like Lily's could for their master.

"Do you have any idea what you're doing?" Slicksilver said.

"I've been with Lily ever since I hatched," Red said. "I know her energy signal anywhere."

"And Gaby's with Lily, right?" Silversong said, flying up beside Red.

"I think so, but I could be wrong."

"Let's hope she is..."

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

Meanwhile, the boys were still circling the volcano when they found a small entrance. Excitedly, they landed on the ledge beside it.

"Finally! I thought we'd never find an entrance!" Seth said.

"Geez it's hot out here!" Kieran said.

"We're on a volcano! What did you expect?!" Kip said.

"Oh...Right..."

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get in!"

They jumped across the ledge, and slipped inside the volcano. The first thing they noticed was that it was extremely hot. Kieran choked on the hot air and ash that came into his face as he entered.

"Man it's hot in here!!!" Kieran said, fanning himself with his hand. He looked back and saw the Pokémon hovering outside, unable to follow them in.

"Stay there until we come back!" Seth said to them. The nodded and disappeared from sight. Then Seth turned back to the others. "Alright. Let's try to find them. Any idea on where to start?"

"Well...Normally..." Kip said, but cut off.

"What?"

"Well, I usually get some kind of emission from Gaby...But I can't sense anything."

"So...She's..."

"It's probably just me!" Kip said. But he himself was thinking the same thing. Gaby was probably dead by now...But he couldn't just give up!

"Let's go!" Kieran said. He started running off down a path, Seth and Kip following him.

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

"We'll never get out of here alive!" Gaby said. She was getting weaker, and was coughing more blood. She had coughed so much out, she was getting fainter and fainter. To top it off, the lava was slowly filling up the room. Now only small parts of the floor remained uncovered. To most it wouldn't see like such a serious thing, but with 15 minutes to go, Lily knew that when Mt. Chimney blew, the wall would break more and send lava gushing out to the. And depending on how much they took in before...

"Stop thinking that!" Lily said. But she herself was thinking that maybe she was right. To Lily, lava was like water to her, but to Gaby...

"Lily, let's face it! We're dead!" Gaby said, spiting blood.

"We can make it through this!" Lily said. Gaby coughed violently, falling over into the small pool of Lava. Lily caught her before she hit it.

"Stay with me Gaby!!" Lily said, laying Gaby down on a large rock above the lava. "Stay conscious! Keep talking!"

"T-Talking...Ok..." Gaby said, opening her eyes halfway. "What should I say?"

"Tell me...Tell me anything! Just keep talking!" Lily said.

"Everything's getting darker..." Gaby said suddenly. Her eyes were now wide open, and starting to fade away into white. "I can barely see..."

"Gaby, you have to stay with me here!" Lily said, close to tears. "Come on!"

"I'm sorry Lily..." Gaby said, managing a small smile. "I don't think I can..."

"Gaby!!!!!" Lily said. Gaby's eyes were almost completely white. She was unconscious.

"Great..." Lily said. Just then, a violent tremor hit them. "This thing's going to blow sooner then I thought...In about 5 minutes or so..."

Just then, the wall of rock burst through.

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

"I found them!!!" Darkbeak said, flying over to a wall of fallen rock. Below them, Lava was flowing freely. Affection was piggybacking on Silversong.

"Alright!" Slicksilver said. Silversong nodded, then looked like something terrible had happened.

"What's wrong?" Affection asked as she felt the Lugia stiffen.

"Gaby's dying!" Silversong said. "We have to get her out of this volcano now!"

"Right. Full power attack!" Red said. They all sent their best attack at the wall, blasting it into tiny pieces. And there, sitting on a rock, trying to escape the rising Lava were Lily and Gaby. Lily looked up, surprised but ecstatic.

"Guys! You're alive!!" Lily said. They all responded happily, but Gaby's Pokémon let out a worried cry as they saw their friend.

"Gaby's in trouble, and she'll only get worse if she stays in here. Do you know a way out?" Lily said, flapping her sings and landing in riding position on Red with Gaby in front of her. The Charizard shook its head. "Right. Let's get out of here! If we can't find an exit...We'll make one!"

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

"I can hardly breath!" Kieran said, coughing.

"That goes for all of us!" Kip said, trying to cover his mouth. Then the ground gave a very violent shake, knocking them all over.

"This thing is going to blow...Very, very soon," Seth said.

"I hate to admit it, but we have to get out of here," Kieran said, turning back.

"NO! We're not abandoning them!" Kip said. Seth shook his head in agreement. Kieran turned his head solemnly back.

"Look, if we're choking badly in here and we've only been in this stuff for 10 minute, think how they've been for almost two hours! Admit it, they're probably already dead. And if that didn't kill them, the lava did." Seth and Kip went silent as the truth hit them. They were too late. "Let's go. Normally I would try to find the bodies or something, but they're probably melted by now."

So they bolted off back the way they came, all three feeling like they had failed them. And it was a good thing they jumped out of the cave at the exact time they did, because the opening caved in behind them just as they jumped out.

Then they all flew back to where the rest were gathered. They ignored them all as they questioned what had happened.

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

"Three...Two...One...NOW!" Lily commanded. All the Pokémon used their attacks at the edge of the volcano. Nothing.

"Again! Three...Two...One...NOW!" Still, nothing. The Pokémon looked defeated.

"How are we going to break through this thing?! We've given it all we've got!" Lily said. She was getting really worried about Gaby. If they didn't get out of there soon, Gaby would...

"We have to keep trying!" Lily said. "Again!"

They all tried their hardest, attacking the wall full force. They managed to break a small hole in it this time, but only small enough for BraveWing to fit through, at best.

"BraveWing! Get out!" Lily commanded. BraveWing did not budge. "NOW!!!! At least I can save something!" The Swellow darted through the hole.

"Alright, now again!" Lily said. The hole opened bigger. Now Darkbeak was out.

"One last time! Do it for Gaby!"

THAT set off the three. They alone opened the whole another three feet in all directions, but with the others, it was large enough for all but the Lugia and Charizard to fit through. And just as the remaining two readied their final blast...

The volcano finally released its built up energy. The volcano blew its top.
