Pyre frowned, "How can we help?" she asked.

Plasma looked left and right, and whispered, *do you mind if we discuss this somewhere more private? It concerns a big Skrill secret.*

Thunder gasped, and started saying, *do you mean Skri-* and was stopped with a tail around his snout. Strike hissed, *not out in the open, sheep-brain!*

"Follow me." Pyre said taking off and flying into a large cave, Luna looked nervous as she flew after her sister.

Pyro hopped on Thunder, and Pyro and the Skrills followed.

Landing in the cave, Plasma let her hatchling roam, then said, *ok, listen, please. This concerns the Skrills as a race. If something isnt done, Skrills will go extinct.

So basically, Skrills can challenge he leader to a battle once a decade after they turn 15. Recently, a Skrill named Lightning challenged our old leader, a wise and old one named Voltage. They battled, and Lightning beat Voltage. And Lightning is now the leader, and thats the bad thing.

Lightning is a horrible leader, and is evil. He plans to attack and conquer the world, starting with Pheonox Island. Thats our name for it, anyway. We need to stop him. But I cant, becuase of my hatchlings, and Strike has the same reason. So we, as in me and the hatchlings, came here for help. And now were here. So please help us, or all the Skrills in our home, Skrill Cave, will kill you or die. We need to stop Lightning first.*

(Whoah, that's intense)

Pyre and Luna looked surprised, but then turned into anger, "That will never happen with us here." Luna snarled, she was ready to destroy Lightning.

(No duh)

Blitz ran up to Luna and said, *No heat! Not happy. No heat!*

Plasma smiled, then became serious. *your right. I propose an expedition to Skrill Cave. So we can see when the attacks gonna happen.*

Luna shook out her fur, a poof of flame rose from her fur, Pyre turned to Pyro, "You need to transform soon." she said seriously.

Pyro nodded, then asked, *Plasma, could we spare a day?* Plasma hesitated, then said, *we dont have a moment to lose, but if it will help us, then I guess so.*

Pyro sighed with relief, then faced Pyre. *Pyre, lets go see that Pheonox. Or bring him up here, if you want.*

Pyre nodded, she trotted over to the mouth of the cave and called out, "Shaman!" a Phoenox flew in, "Yes?" Shaman asked, "We need this human to be changed into part Phoenox." she explained, Shaman nodded, she trotted over to Pyro, "Stay still." she said blowing a blue-tinged fire after the fire was gone Pyro now had Phoenox wings, ears, and a tail.

Pyro felt his wings and tail, and said, *cool. But its not perfect.* he held out his hand, reaveling fox claws and fur, and when Pyro opened his mouth, sharp canines were there. Closing his mouth, Pyro added, *but itll do.*

Thunder smiled. *you look fierce.* then, facing Pyre, he said, *so we just need Pyro to eat the flowers, and we can go?*
