Hey everyone! I know I haven't been updating nearly as much as I should be. Like I need to but I honestly absolutely despise how this 3rd story has been going. I've been more in a rut than I've ever been with my last 2 stories. So I've been rushing to finish this story ASAP. But I will say that there's still guaranteed 5 more chapters left. Eh, why not tell you guys them now?

Ch 30: Core Too Late

Ch 31: Insanity Flame vs. Flare & Exo

Ch 32: Talia Remedy

Fun Fact: Uh… taquitos are delicious

Yes that's a legitimate fun fact that totally has to do with anything at all.

[FFP]

Flame was breathing heavily, clutching the ground tightly. Something seemed to be off, and Flare took notice. They were getting more of their friends back from the phantom realm, but Flare had to make sure Flame was alright. Flare stepped towards Flame, looking down at him.

"Hey, are you alright? Is something wrong?" Flare asked. Flame grit his teeth shaking his head violently.

"Ye… yeah.. I'm… f-fine…" Flame struggled to say. Flare frowned, he knew that Flame was lying.

"Are you sure?" Flare asked.

"Y-yes… d-don't worry a-about me…." Flame struggled to say. Flare sighed, looking out the window.

"You guys have got to come back with the power core soon…" Flare thought, wondering what could be taking so long.

[Streets]

Endern was driving the sports car, with Sylvia and Osiris in the back, making sure the power cores don't get damaged. Several other cars were chasing them down, determined to stop them in their tracks.

"Come on Endern! We've got to get out of here!" Sylvia shouted. Endern emitted a light growl.

"What the f*** do you think I'm doing?!" Endern snapped at her. Osiris sighed, watching the cars behind them.

Endern looked around for any possible escape routes, but one wasn't easily found. He kept driving the car fast, as this was the only possible way for him to escape. The other cars started to close in on them.

"Endern, you've got to go faster than that!" Osiris told Endern. Endern growled yet again.

"Osiris, this is the fastest the car can go!" Endern replied.

Endern spotted a secret path that would be difficult to drive through. He smirked, and turned towards the dangerous path.

"Endern?! What the hell are you doing?!" Sylvia shouted, knowing the road they are about to embark on.

"Trust me! I've been down here plentiful times before!" Endern exclaimed.

A few of the cars stopped at the road, not willing to risk their life for that. The other half kept going forward, not knowing what to expect. The road they embarked on was an extremely deadly road, with deathtraps at all corners. Few embark on this road so that they can live. Endern risked his own life as well as Sylvia's & Osiris's lives.

"Holy shit…" Sylvia said, seeing leftover spikes, ramps, discarded bombs, and many more deadly devices.

"How the hell did this even happen…?" Osiris asked. Endern sighed.

"Well although I'm not sure myself, rumors says that this place was under Mafia rule until recently, but they left these deathtraps everywhere." Endern explained.

They all heard an explosion behind them; one of the cars has been destroyed by a bomb trap.

"If we die here I'm gonna kill you!" Osiris snapped at Endern.

Endern drove up onto a ramp, with a couple other cara following them. Endern grit his teeth, seeing several trip mines on the ground.

"Well shit." Endern said.

Several trip mines were flying upwards, but they were going too fast for them to actually hit them. Instead, the trip mines exploded right in front of the cars chasing them. The cars soon spun out of control, and drove off of the ramp. One of them was crushed, another was destroyed, and the last 2 managed to land safely, although it was useless as the cars were almost undriveable.

"We've escaped them! Now all we've got to do is…" Sylvia said.

"Yeah yeah, we've got to survive the rest of this road." Endern said. Osrisi grinned, but saw that the ramp was ending soon.

"Guys… We've got to get out of here!" Osiris shouted. She panicked, and dropped all the power cores in the car.

"Shit! Hurry up and gra-" Endern was saying, when the car suddenly drove off of the ramp. They were going to land into a pile of bombs if they didn't act fast.

"Damn it!" Sylvia shouted as she attempted to reach for the cores. She wasn't able to however, as the fall was levitating her towards the car door, instead of the cores stuck in the other side.

"F*** it! I value my life more than a power core!" Endern shouted, as he opened the door and grabbed Sylvia. He was about to fly himself and Sylvia out.

"Endern wait!" Osiris shouted. She was slowly flying downwards towards the power cores. Endern grit his teeth, and stood on top. Of the falling car. Osiris inches closer and closer to the cores, but still wasn't able grab one. The car was starting to near the bombs.

"Damn it Osiris!" Endern shouted.

"I'm almost there…!" Osiris said, as she attempted to grab a core.

"F*** this! I'm not letting you did for a simple power core!" Endern snapped. Sylvia grabbed Osiris, and Endern flew them away from the car at the last second. When they looked down, the car had a massive explosion, possibly due to the several power cores still inside of the car.

"Osiris…?" Sylvia asked fearfully. Osiris looked up at Sylvia, who was holding her tail feathers.

"What is it Sylvia?" Osiris asked. Sylvia swallowed, worried about the answer.

"Did you get the cores?" Sylvia said. Osiris frowned, shaking her head.

"No I didn't, but…" Osiris said.

"But what?" Sylvia questioned, tilting her head a bit. Osiris took out a single power core from her coat, and Sylvia grinned happily.

"I managed to get a single one." Osiris replied.

"Yes! One is all we need!" Sylvia said gleefully. Endern rolled his eyes, but chuckled.

"Alright girls, time to get back to the Pizzeria. But damn you 2 are heavy…" Endern said. Sylvia frowned.

"Hey Endern, could you bring me to Mike's house? I have something I need to do there." Sylvia asked.

"Yeah sure thing, just lead the way Sylvia." Endern said.

They've survived, thanks to Endern's powers of flight! What is Sylvia possibly going to do when she gets home? Will Flame be ok? We won't find out until the next chapter! I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, don't forget to leave reviews!
