Chapter 6: Sonic POV

When in need of something to do, do not anger Shadow and Volki. Yes, I must say, what happened was hilarious, but what they did after that was not too funny. Let me tell you this in the simplest way possible. I became a moving target, with Shadow trying to nail me with a Chaos Spear and Volki trying to shoot me down with one of her guns. As for everyone else's reaction to this situation, well, they weren't on my side that's for sure.

Then when Shadow was about to tryout a Chaos Blast, Marine yelled,

"I found the pan, mates!"

That got everyone's attention. Blaze rushed to the fire pit and started a fire. Silver began to cook a meal. Shadow and Volki finally stopped trying to kill me, and went to sit beside the fire. I was glad I wasn't dead. Man, Volki can shoot. She nearly got me, not even Shadow ever got that close. When Silver was finished cooking, we all ate a nice breakfast of bacon and eggs.

After the breakfast, we headed off to gather our things. We packed up the tents, put out the campfire and gathered our supplies. Volki then told everyone to pack everything we need in our back packs, well, right after singling me and Shadow out. Somehow, she found out that we took one chaos emerald each. Shadow was not too happy that she found out. I wasn't either. I mean, a girl that somehow knows if you have a chaos emerald or not, it's not exactly normal. I wonder if she can tell that Shadow brought a whole ton of weapons. If she can, she's had no problem with it.

"I need you guys to help me send the horses to Paradise. Three chaos emeralds are needed to open the portal." Volki told us.

Okay, seems simple enough. Open a portal and let the horses be safe. Simplicity! If we knew how to open portals.

Volki led us to the stables. The horses seemed to know what was going on, 'cause they were already outside waiting. All of them seemed quite eager to go, except for the black horse with the mechanical parts. It trotted in a circle, whining. When it saw Volki, it trotted towards her. Volki looked at her horse and smiled.

"It's okay Nightshade, I'll be fine." Volki said stroking the horse's snout. "I will come back. I just have to avenge the death of my tribe. Of my people. Of my family."

Nightshade continued to whine, but he joined the other horses anyway. He looked back at Volki, who just smiled. It was a sad smile, but it somehow made the horse feel better. Shadow looked at Volki, a strange look of recognition was on his face. I wonder...

Chapter 6: Shadow POV

Volki explained to us that if we all say " Chaos Control" together while holding our chaos emeralds together, a portal will open to another dimension. So that's exactly what we did. After all yelling "Chaos Control" in unison, a circular portal opened. The horses stepped through the portal into another world. The portal looked much like a circular window with the frosted glass that is normally used for showers. The only horse that didn't walk through the portal was Volki's horse, Nightshade. He whined in protest. Volki went up to him.

"You know I can't. Take you with me." she said.

Nightshade continued to whine.

She patted him on the back, "Go on."

He walked through the portal. Volki turned to us tears ran down her cheeks. "I hate long good byes." She wiped her tears, and her face seemed to harden into a confident expression. "Time to go." She said to us.

We walked back to the others. Everyone was already ready to go. Now we had to decide how to get to the Doctor's base. Of course, Sonic was the first to suggest an idea.

"How 'bout we run there?" Sonic said gleefully.

Volki shook her head. "There are speed detectors everywhere. Eggman was prepared in case you get free."

"Darn!" Sonic swore.

Just then we heard a strange rumbling. I looked to see a large air ship coming our way. I smiled. That's going to be our means of transportation.

I pointed to the air ship and suggested my idea. "Why not just take over that air ship and use it to get to the Doctor."

Volki smiled. "I've been itching for a battle," she said. "Sounds like a great idea."

"Now the only thing we need to figure out is how to get on that ship." Sonic said.

I held up my Chaos Emerald "Chaos Control."
