A Change of Heart
Don't tell me that I have to do a disclaimer every time that I type a new chapter? Honestly, you all should know by now.
Chapter 3: Training
Flashback:
"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.
Tails led Mak outside to the plain where he had fallen asleep. They finally began training after being instructed on what to do. It only took Mak a few tries to be successful at flying long distances. "Well, that was impressive." Tails said. "Stay here for a second." He began to walk back to his workshop. When he came back, he was carrying a box. He didn't see Mak until he noticed that Mak was in the air, apparently enjoying himself. Tails smirked as he sat down watching Mak. Tails began to doze off. He was shaken awake by Mak.
"Hey Tails…" Mak said. When he saw that Tails was asleep, he yawned and lay down too. He soon drifted off to sleep. When Mak woke up, He saw that Tails was gone. There was a note. It read:
If you want to see your friend again, fly north until you see three trees in a triangle. Do not come with anyone else. Otherwise…
After the word otherwise, there was a skull and cross-bones. Mak gulped and got up. He flew up and north, hoping to save Tails. Mak soon came to the trees. Tails was tied to one of them. Mak began to untie him. When he removed the gag, Tails shouted, "Get out of here! It's a trap!" But, it was too late, Mak slumped onto the ground. He had been shocked. He woke up in the plain where he had flown to rescue Tails. Tails had brought out a closed box.
Mak looked around to see if he was around. "He's not here and he might still be in danger." Mak then opened the box to reveal… a pair of shoes? Somehow, the shoes were glowing. Determined to find out more about them, he put them on. He then shot up into the air. Air Shoes, Mak thought. "Now how did I know that?" He said. At any rate, he flew to the lab to see if Tails was there.
As he flew, there was a blue blur running below him. The creature looked up. "Aren't you that hawk that Tails and I saved?" Mak nodded. "Well, I'm Sonic."
"Sonic, I think that Tails is in trouble." Mak said. Sonic shook his head.
"What are you talking about? He is in the lab. I talked to him less that a minute ago." Sonic explained Mak screeched to a halt in the air in surprise. He pondered on the subject for a minute.
"Sonic!" Mak yelled. "Give Tails back his air shoes." He shouted, slipping them off of his feet and throwing them to Sonic. "Also, say goodbye for me…" Mak landed and turned around. He then took off again. He had tears in his eyes, his last words ringing in his ears. Also, say goodbye for me…
Author's Note: Sad ending to that chapter, no? Don't worry, Sonic and the gang will return. Please review. Any plot ideas? If you have some, let them be heard (or read) in your review.
