The Portal

Chapter 18: The Escape

“Do what now?” said Ian immediately turning to Perry. With no time to lose, Perry slipped his hands out of the handcuffs. “I told you they were too big, but you didn’t listen!” said one guard to another just before Perry knocked both out.  

The fight quickly began as guard by guard began to attack the platypus. But Perry dodged them all immediately freeing Anthony with a paper clip. “Don’t free me! I can’t fight these guys like you can!” He said. “Well, you could always try.” Perry replied continuing to free the others. There was no other choice once half of the group chasing Perry began going towards him. “Alright Anthony, let’s see what you can do.”

Perry, meanwhile, freed both Doof and Ian as fast as he could. “Follow me!” He called after freeing everyone. Anthony, Ian, and Doof caught up with the platypus as they followed him to an escape door.

“THEY’RE ESCAPING!! GO GET THEM!!” The Portal shouted, but all of his guards were either knocked out or to dizzy to fight. “Fine, I’ll do it myself you lazy idiots.”

The Portal quickly jumped in front of them, blocking the exit. “Now what!?” Doof asked. Perry looked left and right hoping to find any other way to escape, but there were none.

Perry quickly leapt up and punched The Portal down. “Go, find a way to escape!” Perry said to the others, “I’ll take on The Portal.” He quickly pushed them out and shut the door. “PERRY THE PLATYPUS!” Doof cried running towards the door, but it slammed in his face.

Doof turned to Anthony and Ian, “Now what? Should we escape?”

Ian and Anthony stood there for a second. Then, Anthony spoke up.

“No...”

“We shouldn’t?”

“No, no we shouldn’t. You want Perry back, right? Well he’s not coming back unless we fight The Portal too. Back in the room, I saw a balcony, if we can find the entrance onto it; we can help Perry defeat The Portal.”

“Yeah but how do we help Perry the Platypus fight a huge metal circle?”

“I know how, but it will be hard. You guys up for some building?”
