Chapter 6: Portal Peril!

Mak's POV

Flash Back: A Shadowy figure started to descend from the sky. It had blue skin, but, skin did not shine like that. It was metal and it also looked like Sonic. Leo got into a fighting position while I was just confused. The robot stood there in front of us. "Hello, Leo and Mak," it shouted.

"Enter… Metal Sonic," Leo whispered.

Leo did a flip in the air as he took off. I couldn't see what all that he was doing. Leo the Robin (as far as I can tell) was shooting yellow feathers at Metal Sonic. They sparkled in the air. MS (that's what I call Metal Sonic) took the hits without a problem. He shrugged off the sparks, coursing over his body. "Not bad, Leo. The thing is, you have no new tricks. I do!" He shouted as he shone with a bright light. When it cleared, I saw an almost exact duplicate of Leo!

Leo's mouth (AN: or beak I can't decide which…) dropped at the sight in front of him. He then grinned. "Ya know what they say; the second is never as good as the first!" He shouted, proceeding to dive bomb L-Metal Sonic. The attack made its mark as L-Metal Sonic fell from the sky and landed on his head, knocking him out of the transformation. He slumped on the ground, temporarily deactivated. I was about to suggest that we take him to Tails when he cut me off. "No, Mak. I know what you were about to say and, it's too risky. Metal Sonic would never be beaten that easily…"

I nodded in agreement. "What should we do with him?" I asked. Leo flew back to Tails' Workshop and returned with a flat-head screwdriver. He told me to take out MS' battery. I did so, leaving a sparking battery in my hand. I heard a ticking. "Leo, what's going on?" I asked. He suddenly grabbed my hand and started to fly. Getting the idea, I started to fly too.

We were one hundred yards away from where I hard dropped the ticking battery when we heard an explosion. I looked back to see that the battery was a bomb. Smirking, Leo and I descended in front of Tails' Lab.

When we arrived, Tails welcomed us in. He asked about training, specifically, how it went. Leo proceeded to tell tails about everything that had happened. While Leo was explaining, I noticed that a few of my feathers had a reddish color in them in addition to the black. Thinking, I shot one of the feathers into a pot of water that was somewhat bubbling. The water started to hiss like a snake and boil. Confirming my suspicions, I motioned to Tails that the water was boiling. He nodded and got up to turn off the stove and put some chopped potatoes, carets, and chicken into the pot. He licked his lips. He then offered for us to stay for dinner. Leo and I both nodded, being hungry.

After the meal, we applauded at how well the meal was cooked. I yawned as I got up to go to bed. I placed my hands on the bed and suddenly, there was a dark (colored) hole, right on the bed! I pulled way the top layer of the blankets to look at it from the bottom. No hole in sight. Curious, I clapped my hands once, and the hole disappeared. Thinking of being back in the dining room, I clapped my hands once and placed them on the bed. Sure enough, another hole appeared but this time, I could see a picture. It was a picture of the dining room from above!

Curiosity took hold of my as I jumped into the hole. I blacked out and woke up, in the air, above the dining room! I fell to the ground with a soft thud. "That was a portal…" I murmured.
