Hey guys! Wanted to know what happened after Chapter 10's mysterious conclusion? Well here it is! Enjoy!

Sonic stared at the portal, slowly averting his gaze as a blue glow caught his eye. He realized the blue glow was coming from another portal, and as he looked around he noticed the whole room was covered in them. "Alright, now I'm convinced this place isn't legal. At all." Shadow shook his head. "There's no chance this would ever be allowed if word leaked out. Thanks to my powers of Chaos Control, I can easily teleport into this room or any other as I please."

Sonic chuckled. "Good thing you're not going through teenager-hood. That would be really immature." Shadow shrugged off Sonic's less-than-appropriate comment and began speaking again. "It surprised me that no one ever thought of trying to reverse Mons's- er, Eggman's experiment by simply building more portals. That is, until I learned that opening a portal opens even more portals somewhere else. The whole reason Eggman wanted Mons to conduct his experiment to begin with was to create irredeemable chaos. He thought it would tear the world apart." Sonic shrugged. "Guess we dealt with it better than expected. Because we're cool like that." Shadow began to step through the first portal that Sonic had seen upon entering the facility. "Yes, well- have you ever wondered what the world Zootopia comes from looks like?"

Sonic nodded. "Yeah, but- is that where that portal goes? Why are you headed there?" Shadow grinned. "I want to see exactly what part of Mobius got swapped over to that world when Zootopia came here."

Now Sonic was interested. "Alright! Let's go!" he said rather enthusiastically, jumping into the portal and pulling Shadow through. The inside of the portal looked like a purple spiral, constantly changing path like a waterslide. "Whoa, now this is trippy!" Sonic yelled as he flew through the portal and straight out the other side, careening into a tree and knocking it down. "That musta been quite some force." Sonic muttered. Shadow flew out of the portal more gracefully than Sonic, flipping onto the ground and teleporting behind Sonic. Sonic grinned. "Wow! Did Gazelle teach you some dance moves?"

Shadow slapped Sonic straight across the face, and Sonic knew he had struck a nerve. "One, no, and two, let's keep our personal lives out of this, alright?" Sonic shook his head. "I don't know. It's good to talk sometimes." Shadow began walking, noticing large clumps of insects in some areas. "Disgusting." he muttered. Sonic shrugged. "Judy told me that's what carnivores eat over here." Shadow laughed under his breath. Sonic grimaced. "What?"

Shadow stopped walking for a moment. "Why don't you just ask her out already? It's obvious you two have become more than friends. I was wrong when I said she'd never care that way. When I saw you two at Mons's speech, I knew. And so do you, Sonic." Sonic paused. "Alright. I'll ask her tonight." Shadow smiled. "Good man, Sonic." Now it was Sonic's turn to ask. "Since you asked me, why didn't you try to- get closer to Gazelle? Don't think I forgot what you told me."

Shadow sighed. "Well, fair is fair. I- never got the chance." Sonic lowered his voice. "But you wanted to?" Shadow didn't answer. He simply kept walking. Sonic followed him, and after a few minutes, Shadow nodded. He made it look like he was pointing in a direction, but Sonic knew what he really meant. Shadow broke into a run, Sonic following suit, until they reached a building that was distinctly Mobian. It wasn't very interesting, and Sonic couldn't help laughing.

"Zootopia- got replaced- with this?" he said between bursts of laughter. Shadow examined the building closely. "It's not just a stone building. There's a keypad on the fourth floor. You can see it through the window." Sonic adjusted his view until he saw it. "Oh yeah..." Sonic and Shadow both dashed up the building, running on the wall at high-velocity speeds, breaking the window and jumping onto the fourth floor. Shadow tore the keypad off the wall and smashed his fist into the wires behind it. The door opened.

Behind the door was Doctor Eggman.

Uh-oh! Never good to see Eggman show up. Can Sonic and Shadow handle him, or does he have a trick up his sleeve? Find out in Chapter 12!

Also, the reason for this chapter being so short is that it's the continuation of Chapter 10: The Other Portals.

See ya in the next chapter,
