Since you all liked my first story here is Chapter 2

Chapter 2

I felt immense heat and saw some orange-red light below us as I was falling. I knew this was bad, so I screamed out "STOP!" at the top of my lungs, and expanded my body to grind to a halt before I fell into this hot red stuff.

Wynryp started to slow down in front of me, with a meaningless scream. Of course, I didn't understand what she said, and so rammed into her while she was slowing, making her lose her grip on the sides. As we fell again, she muttered curses at me in her brain.

Idiot, moron, imbecile! I hope he dies now, for being such a stupid ball of slime. We were nearing the end of the tunnel, and were about to fall into the open, when I heard a scream of "NO!" and felt something crash into me, dissolving my membrane and slowing my fall.

I'm not going to let another of my kin die! I rammed into the pink one, and merged with her, expanding our body to halt the fall into the lava. I felt another one, above my head, and looked up, seeing that he was blue.

The mass of both Wynryp and the other slime pushed against the wall stopped our fall. I said shakily "Greetings. I'm Chaos." The slime thought of an image of himself, black as the darkness, and simply said "Paulo. Why are you here?" I explained what had happened since I awoke, and he nodded. At the end, he said "Okay. I know a way down, but since your little friend here had fallen asleep from shock, you're going to have to merge with us to help move her." I complied, and shuddered as a saw what was in his mind.

I tried to keep the dark thought from his mind, but it was no use. He saw what had happened, and I was forced to relive the memory through his head.

A small, naive little yellow slime was standing in front of me. He saw the hole, and moved towards it. I said to it "don't go in there!" but he did anyway. I jumped after him, and tried to catch up to him, but I was too late. He fell into the lava, not before touching me. His scream pierced my mind, and I felt his pain as he burned, and the inky blackness seeped into my body and soul. I vowed never to see another slime die again.

I saw his story, and I felt his pain. I did not know how it would feel to be helpless while another of his kin died, but he had an inkling, and he knew that it wouldn't be pleasant to say the least.

However, there was a job to do. Paulo sent him an idea, of sticking to the roof and rolling across until he got to an area with ground beneath it. He used his strength to aid Paulo in the manoeuvre, and was surprised how hard it was to move Wynryp while she was asleep. He knew why he needed to help.

Chaos had strength, I grant him that. I think heo s the eldest of us, from what Io ve heard. Heo s pretty good with his movement, too. We reached the lip of the hole. This would be the most dangerous part, as the weight of all 3 of them would be hard to keep on the roof. He liked problem solving. It helped him to avoid thinking about what had happenedo ¦

o Now Chaos, just focus on carrying Wynryp. If you can handle that easily enough, think about sticking to the roof.o I had only recently found out that we have he ability to do this, and I did not know whether it would hold or not.
We inched across the roof, careful not to lose our grip, for if we did, then it would be over for all three of us. The air started to cool down, and I knew we were nearing an edge. I started to relax, and that was a mistake. Suddenly, I started to un-merge from the others. I managed to swing myself up quickly before I fell into the lava, but I nearly didn't make it. "Why can't you be more careful!" Paulo yelled "We can't afford to lose ANYONE!"

I leant up against the other two, and tried to merge again, but it wasn't working. No matter how hard I tried, I still couldn't connect, and I could tell Paulo was tiring. I had an idea.

"Why don't you un-merge with Wynryp and I'll catch her?" Chaos said. "I don't think you can hang on much longer. It's our only choice."
"But what if we drop her?" I said, having doubts about this.
"What else can we do! This plan even sounds stupid to me, but it's the only chance we've got!" Chaos growled, fire in his words. I then knew that, if it were possible, then he'd be the one to do it.

"Alright. I'm going to drop her when I say drop. Okay, here we go."
"Three..." I was having doubts about this.
"Two..." Could this really work?
"One..." I can't look...

"DROP!"
