Chapter 2: A Change of… Body?
Flashback:
Mak began to stir. He woke up and looked around at his surroundings. He knew enough to recognize that he was in a field. A hawk landed on his outstretched arm. Before he knew what was happening, he started to glow. Mak started to scream in pain. Unconsciousness claimed him within a few seconds. "That… Hurt…" He murmured in his sleep.
Mak began to wake up again, this time in a different place. He saw a humanoid-fox creature standing in a doorway. The fox was staring at the ground. "Is something wrong?" He asked, without wondering if the fox would understand him. Somehow, Mak knew that it would. The fox jumped in the air.
"Oh, you're awake!" The fox said. The voice sounded masculine. "What's you're name?" He asked. "I'm tails." Mak looked at his not one-but two tails.
"No kidding…" Mak laughed uncertainly. "I'm Makkura but, I prefer Mak." He said, stuttering. "What happened?" He asked.
"Well, we found ya asleep in the plains nearby. By we, I mean Sonic and me. You looked in bad shape and took you here, the lab." Mak looked around at his surroundings. There were many metallic objects as well as a mirror. He climbed off of the mirror to examine where he had gotten cut close to his right eye. He jumped in shock at what reflected back at him from the mirror. A humanoid-hawk looked back. The hawk was a deep black, just like a shadow. He pulled out one of the feathers when he looked in the mirror. It stung a bit, confirming that he was the Hawk. He fell to his knees in shock and clenched his fists.
"What happened to me?" Mak choked out to noone in particular. He was trying to prevent himself from sobbing. Tails knelt beside him and patted him on the back. "I was human." Mak said, explaining himself. "A hawk perched on my arm shortly before I passed out. I think that my DNA fused with it, making me humanoid."
"Pretty impressive." Tails said. "You're right. I analyzed some of your DNA and you spoke what I discovered. One thing's for sure, I think that you need these." Said Tails, while handing him two boxes. Mak opened them up and found that he had been given a pair of shoes and a pair of gloves. He noticed that he no longer had his clothes and, he blushed. Surprisingly Tails could see it through his feathers. "Ya know, I could get started working on a cure but, I advise against it." Tails whispered. When Mak began to ask why, he replied saying "It's more dangerous here than you realize. It may help you survive." Mak nodded.
"A cure would probably be a bad idea atleast, until I know how to get back home." Mak fitted the shoes and gloves. At first, they were too big. Suddenly, they shrank, fitting him just right. Mak decided not to ask why as he would probably need a degree in physics and robotics to understand Tails' response. "Right, well, I'm gonna leave for a while."
"You probably shouldn't leave until you know how to fly" Tails said smiling. Mak protested, exclaiming that it can't be too hard. He began to flap his wings. He managed to get a good 6 feet off of the ground before crashing onto his back. Tails smirked. "See what I mean?"
Mak rubbed his back angrily. "If I just had a pair of rollerblades, I wouldn't need to fly." He shouted. Tails shook his head saying that flying is important.
"I mean, what is the point of being a hawk if you can't fly?" Tails asked. Mak nodded, cursing under his breath, agreed. "Okay, let's get started!" Tails shouted, punching the air.
Author's Note: Well, I guess that I proved myself wrong by being unable to update. I'll try and upload chapter 3 later. Threat still stands about flaming. I may quit if people flame.
