"Alright, everyone ready?" Mr. Drails asked, as I nodded. "Then let's do this." He opened up the portal that led to an alleyway between two apartments of some sort. I stepped through first, and Nikki followed, and then everyone else stepped through.
As we were about to step into the portal, it closed, leaving Malachi falling to the ground. "Of course, always with me," he groaned.
I turned around, seeing Nikki standing there with her hands in her pockets. "What's wrong?" I asked.
"Nothing," she replied, looking down.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," she said with a smile.
"Good," I said, turning back to the others. "Let's go."
"This is how it always happens," September said with a chuckle. "The big guy falls first."
