I didn't know what had just happened but as all the octonauts were in the lab in the mariana trench. The ground started to rumble. "Underwater volcanos!" I heard dashi say. She dashed to the computers with shellingotn at her side.

The entire area started to rumble under my feet and everything was shaking. I grabbed onto the table like my life depended on it. Out of the corner of my eye, just through the window, I could see the hot bubbles of an undersea volcano.

I also saw sea creatures. Most of them were blind and helpless, they were all burnt and injured and lying on the ground. "There are creatures out there! We have to help them!" I cried. I let go of the table and dashed for the door.

The ground rumbled and shook the lab up a bit, during that time I had tripped from the sudden movement but was saved by the captain holding onto my arm. "Peso you can go out there yet! It's too dangerous for you!" He yelled. "But what about those sea creatures?! Theyre going to be in a lot of danger if we don't help them!" I replied.

"I know peso but we can't have you getting injured! Your our only medic and we can't afford anything bad happening to the crew!" He said. I understood what he meant immediately and gazed out the window. Helpless to do anything to help anyone, which was the entire point of my job.

I help any creature who's hurt or sick.

But this time I couldn't help anyone.

The captain knowticed how worried and distressed I was. "It's alright peso, after the tremors and volcanos stop we go out immediately and help everyone. I promise. But for now we need to stay in here." He said. The ground started to rumble and tumble the lab more and more. The captain then leaned against the bookcase to stop anything from falling out and had a firm grip of my one of my flippers and used my free flipper to hold onto the doorway.

Finally, the tremors started to calm down. I looked up at the captain, he looked out the window and nodded to me "it looks safe to go outside now peso. In the meantime the rest of us will try and tidy up the lab." Said the captain.

I wasted no time and rush out the door and went to go and bring back in as many creatures as possible.

I was working faster than I had worked in my entire life and after an hour of non-stop work I was finally done. I took another look outside and saw all the creatures that didn't move out of the way in time. They were still, and quiet.

I started to tear up at how I couldn't save everyone, but I quickly wiped away the tears so nobody could see me this upset. I had to stay strong. I know I did my best but I feel like I really could have done more.

I just headed to my room to get some rest as I was exhausted abecusse of the events that just happened. So I went up the octochute and buried myself with blankets.

Peso was happily walking down the corridor of the octopod, like a carefree child. Suddenly the lights went dark. Peso looked around in horror before he saw a luminous glowing green around the corner. He crept up to the light and saw the creatures he couldn't save.

They were ghosts coming to haunt his spirit.

"It's your fault we didn't get help!"said a claim.

"It's your fault we didn't escape in time." Said a gulper eel.

"It's your fault were all gone!" Said a small fish.
