I walked through the door and suddenly felt lightheaded, it felt like an electrical charge was passing through my body. My fur was standing up and a slight tingling was starting to make its presence known. The charge kept growing more and more powerful till I thought I could bare it no longer. Suddenly the power escaped in a huge blast of lighting that shook the skies.

I shot out of the portal feet first, hurdling through the field and landed nearby. I stood up and felt my fur, it was hot like molten lava. The ground itself was scorching hot, it was a dim red color it was so hot. I looked around to see if Jack had landed nearby but he was nowhere to be seen. It was like he had just disappeared off the face of the planet, whichever one that I was on.

I looked up at the sky and blinked up at the sight that awaited me. The sky looked a little cloudy but it wasn't the same cloudy that you or I know, this one was the color of a granny smith apple but, if its possible, it was even more green. I must have been high up in the planet's atmosphere because the air seemed very thin.

I started to panic, the air was to thin to even breath. As the light left my sight and I fell into unconsciousness I heard myself call out to jack but he was nowhere to hear what I was saying. My eyes clouded over and I heard voices shouting to be heard over the noise that had suddenly come. I wanted them to quiet down so I could sleep, but they refused. I began to get really agitated that they wouldn't leave.

Something came up to cover my mouth, I felt a slight tugging through the mouthpiece and my world was suddenly filled with light and I saw my saviors, grim faced, rugged, blue men who had put me onto the back of something that was moving. One of them looked down at me and smiled, it wasn't the smile a nice person would give you but one that people who meant evil would. The vehicle moved into a line of similar vehicles that traveled all in the same direction.

After a little while of traveling we came into a more civilized area then it was gone. More lights, then darkness. I looked up at the sky and the sun was gone eclipsed by something huge floating in the sky. Into this darkness we traveled, never slowing never accelerating.

A hand grabbed mine, it was familiar but had somehow changed. I couldn't see who it belonged to because of the complete darkness. It pulled me to my feet gently and held me in place while I got my feet back under me. The hand pulled me up higher, and with a sharp "thud" jumped out of the caravan with me in the things arms. This things going to save me I thought to myself. I was wrong, the thing clamped down on my body and shot into the darkness at blinding speed, leaving the caravan behind as we sped across the darkness.

Light came into view in the distance, the thing seemed to be heading toward it , then a feeling of weightlessness came over as the creature jumped over an edge and into darkness, a trailing form followed us into the darkness as I looked over its shoulder...
