~Part 2: Final Flames~

"Bubble."

The Vaporeon looks back at the entrance to the den. Star sits there, her eyes leaking with tears. She doesn't move. All she does is cry

Bubble felt as if she were made of lead, dragging her feet though she knew she wants to be at Star's side. "Just.... keep moving..." She grunts to herself, continuing to drag. It felt like eternity, but seemed like seconds.

/What an odd sensation?/ She thinks. /Why are my thoughts so loud...?/

She finally reaches Star, she had felt the tears falling down her own eyes. "Star...!" She cries, "Oh, I thought you'd leave us..."

Star smiles, but tears seem to rain and glow, to float and lift but not Bubble's own. "I'm in a better place now..." She says, tears glowing brighter than Stone's glow, "Better than an ending burned by anxiety..." Bubble's eyes widen. "No, Star! Please!" She calls, trying to reach. "Star...!"

Star closes her eyes. "Bubble... don't cry..."

She awakens with a jolt, still in her den, with a dark entrance. And no Star.

/What's this?/

/Force Levels? Eh?/

/Clouds?/

/How does a cloud make a disaster?/

"Just a minor test by that darned Absol, and the aftermaths are this bad!?"

/Math?/

"Get everyone to safety!"

/Is something burning....?/

"Bubble, get down!"

The wooden desks lifted and crashed, the wooden boards rubbed together. Everything did that continuously until everything was on fire.

"Bubble! Come on!" Her mother was carrying her siblings eggs, one of which they'd found in the forest. Was it even alive? She followed, but still watched everything inside.

"Ama, what's happening?" She whimpered. Her mother continued to rush her, but caught her breath for a moment. When they reached a safe spot, Bubble turned back to watch as her father ran towards them. Her mother began to explain.

"A scientist of sort has finally revealed his identity, Bubble," She started, "and has done something to the gravity of our forest. Most likely a shadow boom, but with this much gravitational activity..." She trailed off.

Bubble could hear his father's faint voice. "Atsu!"

Her mother rose quickly.

"A-ama."

"Atsu, the neighbors! They're stuck in the force level waves!" He signaled to Atsu to follow.

"Ama! Apa!" Bubble called, trying to trail behind.

"Bubble, we need you to stay. We'll be right back-" Her mother tried to hand her the eggs, but Bubble interrupted. "You won't be back! You'll die and I'll be alone! "Please, don't leave me!"

Tears.

"I promise, we'll be back."

Broken.

/Ama! Apa!/

The flames lost them, and exploded to reach further than before and swallow those inside.

/I didn't want to loose you....!/

♤=- Nostalgia (Present-Time) -=♤

"I didn't want to... loose you...."

Bubble clenches her sides.

Crying, she prays that at least Stone won't be lost.

/Don't be lost./

/Don't be lost...../
