Chapter 2

Touring the Mansion

Hero Manor: The Foyer

Mac's P.O.V.

"This is where you'll be living." I said loudly as it echoed through the home.

"Wow this is big!" Said Tails. "Has anyone gotten lost in it before?"

"No, except for the maid who came here to clean up. I never saw her again. But I'm sure she just went home." I smiled and led them in the room left of the foyer.

Hero Manor: Living Room

"This is the living room where we hang out and stuff and… uh… live." The living room contains a plasma screen TV, a rug on the floor, a few end tables, pictures of Mac and Natalie, a book shelf, a sofa, two couches, and a fireplace. Amy looked at everything and said. "Wow you guys are…"

"Loaded? I know! People seemed to give rewards for helping a city." I interrupted, "Well enough of that lets keep going." I led everyone into the Kitchen.

Hero Manor: Kitchen

"As you can see this is the kitchen. Pretty self explanatory blah blah blah. Move along!" Next I led everyone into a hallway then into a dining room which is where we found a table longer than the Empire State Building itself.

"Why do you have a long table?" Said Knuckles.

"Have you seen Mac eat? They built him with ten stomachs. It takes a whole buffet to fill him up." Replied Natalie as I just burped to prove my point.

"This is a big mansion so I'll just show you what's need to be shown."

Hero Manor: Fourth Floor Hallway Few Hours Later

"You didn't have to show all of the bedrooms. They look the same to me." Said Amy tired of walking.

"Well I wanted to point out how some are different from others. Like how one has a high speed computer with internet connection, some are bigger, and one small like a closet." I said.

"Mac that room you showed us was a closet." Corrected Tails.

"Point?" I said proudly.

"Natalie I'm having my doubts." Said Tails to Natalie.

"About the leader or the brain of the leader." Said Natalie.

"Don't worry there's a few places left." I replied as I led them into a nearby room.

Hero Manor: Auditorium

"The auditorium where sometimes I give speeches, do plays, or host other things." I said, "Moving on!"

Hero Manor: Gym

"This is where we work out. But no one has ever broken my speed record and lift record." I said proudly,

"Oh really?" Said Knuckles as he walk towards a weight. He picked it up and lift at an incredible rate. "A million. Beat that."

"At least I have my speed record." Just than Sonic ran in and started the tread mill. He ran extremely fast and went up to one million miles per hour and when he stopped the tread mill broke down. "You were saying?" Said Sonic.

"You said no one beat your record. But aren't you and Natalie the ones living here?" Said Tails.

"I'm sorry what were you saying? I was busy being astonished by Sonic and Knuckles.

Hero Manor: Game Room

"This is the game room with lots of video games that were ever made in the world." I said, "I get bored sometimes so I built this room."

Hero Manor: Library

"This is the… um… the…" I stuttered as I tried to guess the name of the room. "It rhymes with hi-berry… sy-berry? Cry barry? Pie barry?"

"The library!" Said Tails.

"Naw that can't be it!" I said at Tails.

"Ignore him he never goes into a library. He said it's for nerds." Said Natalie, "This is probably the largest library ever! It came with the mansion and after all these years we still don't know all of the books that are in here."

Hero Manor: Secret Lab

I led everyone at the top floor and activated a code. "Ummmm… does anyone remember what the pass code is?"

"Well judging by your personality I think I know the pass code." Said Tails and went over to the buttons. He pushed and held the one button for thirty seconds and it made a long beeping sound. After that the computer said, "PASSWORD ACCPTED." Then the wall opened revealing the secret lab.

"I hate you." I said at Tails and he just smiled at me. The secret lab has lots of gadgets and gizmos. The most noticeable parts are the large computer, the training room, some empty water tubes, and a smoothie bar.

"What's with the bar?" Asked Amy.

"I like smoothies okay." I Said. "Now this is my computer. It controls everything in the lab. Its name is COB. Computer Operative Buddy."

"And this is a special device used to rip a portal into the time space continuum. This is how you guys came here." Said Natalie, "I guess I was lucky when I touched this."

"Hey what's this?" Said Tails pointing at a window with a room in it.

"That's the training room it may look like just a blank white room but it can generate holograms of real places where fights and battles usually happen." I replied. "How about we train just to see what you can do. This glass window allows us to communicate with you but it won't brake. So how about it?"

"Sure I'll go first." Said Sonic.

Training Simulation Room

"Okay I'm going to set it at intermediate level." I said at Sonic.

Sonic's P.O.V.

"Okay bring it on!" The room around me turned into a grid with green colored lines. Then it transformed the field into a beach. Then a few robots wearing boxing gloves appeared.

"Alright Sonic show me what you got!" Said Mac in the window. Then the window disappeared and I'm on my own. One robot punched and the hand sprung out on a spring attempting to hit me but I ran around it and ran into it destroying it.

"One down one to go." All of a sudden ten more robots appeared. First I ran around them to make a huge dust storm so that they couldn't see me. One of them shot there hands out like rocket. The rocket followed me until I jumped over a robot and it hit it. After that I turned into a ball and crashed into all of them. "Yeah!"

Mac's P.O.V.

"I think it's too easy." I said, "Maybe we should kick it up a notch."

"Has there been any programming glitches or malfunctions?" Asked Tails.

"Well once where all of the enemies become real and they could really hurt you. But I'm sure I fixed that." I replied as I set the difficulty higher. Just then the controls froze and started to spark. Everyone stared at me for a while. "I'm pretty sure it was nothing." I laughed for a few seconds.

Sonic's P.O.V.

I waited for any more enemies until the field changed again into ruins of a destroyed city. I looked around and when I touched one part of the building it felt real. "Wait I thought this was a hologram. How could I feel these buildings?"

"Be careful Sonic there's a malfunction. You can only get out if you defeat the enemy." Said Mac. Then the ground shook and then came out was a small creature with glowing yellow eyes and a lot of dark energy flowing around it. The creature shot one of it's tentacle-like arms toward me. I dodged it and I ran around it but it kept it's eye on me. It disappeared until it jumped out right under me. I turned into a ball and aim directly at it but unfortunately it had a force field. "How am I suppose fight it?"

"Sonic! Listen you have to keep fighting until Tails can fix the problem." Said Mac, all I can do is run though. How can I fight something that can counter all of my moves? Then the creature came up to me and grabbed me with it's tentacle-like arms. It started to shock me and I was paralyzed.

"Can't… move." I said slowly and painfully. Then I heard Tails said, "Got it!" That's when everything disappeared and the field turned back into a white empty room. I came out hurt and still a little paralyzed.

Mac's P.O.V.

"Sonic!" Screamed Amy.

"I guess it still has a few bugs." I said.

"Nooooooo!" Said Natalie Sarcastically. "Ya think!"

"Are you okay?" Said Cream at Sonic.

"I'll be fine. Just need to lie down a bit…" Said Sonic. "Mac… what was that thing?"

"You mean that enemy? That's a high level enemy. You just need more training than you should be able to beat'em." I said at Sonic.

An Unknown Area

Third Person P.O.V.

In an unknown area someone or something was watching Sonic and the others. "It was more than a simulation. It was more…." Said the unknown person as it disappears into the shadows and the last thing seen is the yellow eyes that soon disappeared.
