They entered a room, wind rushing around them as soon as Leptós opened the door. The room was quite similar to the other one with all the globes, but much to the fascination of both teens, there was instead a bunch of whirling circles of brilliant colors. Ponyboy felt his jaw drop with awe, feeling as though he had stepped into space and was floating amongst the galaxies.

If that was the case, however, I am sure he would have frozen by now from the extreme cold weather. As well as some other things that could happen to him, but it's not like I actually take time to research space. I mean, what do I look like to you?

Bob was starting to feel sick, his head hurting and stomach churning as all the circles around him whirled and whirled in bright colors. If it had been just one that would be a much different story, but the combination of the many different swirls was hurting this poor lad's brain. He could barely concentrate when his teacher droned on about one thing, and here he was trying to concentrate on many things.

Stupid boy- don't overdo yourself. We all know you really don't think all that much.

Leptós grinned, watching the fascinated and horribly confused two young men. The malicious intent behind that lovely little grin stayed unnoticed- to them at least. But you now know. Maybe I should stop narrating…

"This place, my dear fellows, is the Dimensional Gateway. This is how you get from one world to another- and before you interrupt me, asking how on earth it is you'll get back, that's what those necklaces are for." Each teen looked down at the necklace hanging around their necks, mirroring the bright swirls around them. "When the time comes for you leave and head to another world, the necklace will show you the way."

"How?" Bob asked, annoying the tall man. He noticed the irritated spark in the other's dark beady eyes and shrank away fearfully, stepping a little behind Ponyboy. The greaser rolled his eyes, but that was just bravado to keep from showing how terrified he was.

Sadly, I'm pretty sure both Leptós and Bob had noticed how his legs shook, looking as though they'd give away any moment.

Moving on, the highly amused tall man turned to one of the gateways. Muttering a few unknown words (that Bob would later say sounded like utter gibberish) and moving his hand over the portal slowly, more colors burst from it as it seemed to grow in size and swallow up the entire room.

Both boys just stood there in utter awe, once again in utter amazement, before realizing what had happened. It was much like the first time when Mr. Symes had sent them to the Archives. Only at least this time it was only Bob who swore- and that was more out of annoyance rather than shock and fear,

"Where are we going?!" Bob shouted, hoping that the smart greaser would hold some kind of answer. Much to his sadness and annoyance, the redhead could only shake his head. "Oh- what use are you then?"

"Oh," Pony snapped back, "are you telling me you'd rather do this alone? Go to each and every unknown world all by yourself and find all of Mary's flaws?" Before the proud Soc could retort with an arrogant and regretful yes, Pony added one more little detail. "You're saying you'd rather be all alone with just Leptós?"

That shut Bob up, but only for a moment. However, when he opened up his mouth this time, it wasn't arrogance or anger that came spilling out. But instead the fear he tried to disguise with curiosity. "I don't trust him- something just seems so… off."

The greaser nodded in agreement. "I can't put my tongue on it… but just the way he does everything… it's like he has some hidden motive. Some horrible and bad hidden motive."

"Maybe he's the real enemy?"

"Maybe they both are our enemies… but he's the only thing we have to go on, so we have to just work with him. I don't trust him, but I don't have anything better." Ponyboy looked down, as if sad and angry. Bob didn't know why, but he knew that this kid was smarter- maybe even wiser- than him. Not that he'd ever admit it, but he knew he should talk some of his words into consideration.

Before either of them could start a conversation, probably an argument, they were surrounded by a blinding light. They fell on a hard yet soft and cool surface- much like the dirt and grass. Bob blacked out as soon as he made contact, having hit his head off of something. He wasn't dead… but that was going hurt in the morning.

Pony thought he heard someone walking towards them, but the landing had not been sweet for him either. With just the thoughts of escape and fear running through his mind, the young teen joined his companion in a bliss, black unconscious sleep.

OOO

Leptós grinned wickedly, his plan falling into place just the way he had planned. These two young men would easily defeat Mary Sue Parfait, who was his only problem. You see, this lying prick is actually allergic to Mary-Sue's. To the point where it is very lethal for him, which makes him unable to go to any world they are in.

The Outsiders was the perfect starting point, but with Mary Sue Parfait there spinning her web of lies, deceit, and death, the man would never be able to get close enough to the world to begin his plan. He himself couldn't take her out, despite how much strength and power he really did have, so why not leave it to these two desperate teenagers?

By the time they realized anything, it would be too late. Leptós had his own web of lies and malice, and those two were helpless flies caught in it.

The tall man chuckled, a black arm- smooth and almost like a shadow- came out of his back, reaching for a movie on the table. It was a movie from the real world that had recently been released- though some didn't like it because of the little fact it strayed from the book. However, Leptós believed that fangirls like it for the actors- oh what were their names? Oh yes- Orlando Bloom, Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman- apparently those were the ones usually being squeed over.

Looking at the movie, the man shrugged and grinned. Leptós just had to wait for their return.

Ooo

Guuuuys~! Guess who has finally returned? This crazy little sasquatch! BWAHAHAHAHAAH! I'm back from my disappearance- though I must sadly tell you that I have no idea how long I'll be able to keep this up. I am going to do my best to at least update once a week (now that I've said that it's probably going to be like a year until I update again.)

Sorry that this chapter is so small, but I'm just getting back into it~

Can anyone guess what movie it is? C;
