"Hurry up Spike or we are going to be late, again". "All right all right I'm hurrying, jeez Drex". Drex and Spike are late for school and are rushing to get dressed. "Come on Spike get dressed"," Um bro I'm already dressed". "How the hell did you do that?" "Does it matter?" "Aw come on smart ass". Drex grabs Spike's arm and drags him down stairs, and their mother is standing at the door with their book bags. "Hi mom bye mom" says Drex and Spike as they rush out the door grabbing their bags on the way. "Look Drex there's the bus". "Yeah and its pulling away idiot". "Well big bro last one to school is, well, late". Spike and Drex run at their top speeds towards their school.

"Doctor are those the ones", asks a mechanical voice. "Yes they are the ones", replies a sinister figure observing Spike and Drex via a view screen. "So should I get every thing prepared?" "Yes bring them to me", "bring them all to me; Muhahahahahahahahahaaaaaa!!!".

"Ok almost there" says Spike. "Shut up and run little bro" snaps Drex irritatedly . (Ding-dong) "Damn, I thought we made it! Well we will be fine if the principal doesn't catch us" says Spike. "Somebody mention me; you two are late again I see". "Hi Mr. Smith, we were just on our way to class" says Drex trying not to sound like someone that had been caught twelve times for being tardy already . "Zip it! My office now!" barks Mr. Smith.

"So what should I do with you two?" Asks principal Smith after slamming their permanent records on his desk. "Um let us go with a warning", replies Spike. "Nice try, wait I know I should put the both of you in detention from now until doomsday", "but fortunately for you one of this schools patrons for some unknown reason has taken an interest in you". "What?" ask the brothers in unison. "Yes you heard me, our schools most wealthy patron Dr. Ivo Robotnik wishes to meet the both of you". (Buzz) "Yes Mrs. Kline what is it", yells the principal into the speaker phone on his desk. "Um sir the doctor is here. "Good send him in". Dr. Robotnik strides into the principal's office. "Good morning boys, and to you as well principal Smith" says Dr. Robotnik very cheerfully. "Well lets just cut to the chase shall we, the reason I asked to see you two is to extend both of you an invitation to join an athletic team , I am putting together". "That sounds great doesn't it boys", says the principal. "Suck up", murmurs Spike. "Well I'm sure it is, but what is in it for us?" asks Drex. "Ah I'm glad you asked young man along with a generous monetary consideration you will have access to the best training facilities, and best of all you will be able to miss school. Well how does that sound?" "I'm in", says Spike. "When do we start", asks Drex. "Well today if you wish". Replies Dr. Robotnik. "Just follow me my driver is waiting out front".

Drex and Spike follow Dr. Robotnik to the front of the school, and climb inside his waiting limousine, which immediately pulls away from the school. "Well boys this is only the beginning of what I have in store for you", says Dr. Robotnik with a sinister tone in his voice. "Ok, but doctor don't you think we should call our mom and dad before we go anywhere", questions a slightly suspicious Drex. "Oh you have no need to worry about that my dear boys. I have already contacted them and received their permission to take you". "Oh ok, but where are you taking us", asks Spike. "Oh to a private facility I had constructed for just this occasion", replies the doctor. "Now just sit back and enjoy the ride". Drex and Spike sit quietly for a while, but as time wears on Drex begins to get curious. "Umm doctor". "Yes Drex, what is it". "Oh nothing really I was just wondering why you picked us" says Drex. "Oh is that all?" said Dr. Robotnik. "My boy the reason I chose you and your brother is due to the great talent you both have show while participating in your schools many track and field competitions, and it is also because of the even greater potential I believe you both possess. Potential that could be of great use to me". "Thanks doctor, but maybe you are giving us to much credit", says Spike. "We're good but we are not anything that special". "I suppose you might be right Spike. But if you are not special now, with my help you very soon will be".

"Well now that your questions have been answered, how about a drink"? "I am sure you both like grape juice", says Robotnik while handing Drex and Spike each a glass of juice which unknown to them had been drugged. "Thanks doc", says Spike after draining his glass. "But you know suddenly I feel kinda sleepy". "Yeah me to", replies Drex. "Really, well it will be a while yet before we arrive why don't you two take a nap" says Dr. Robotnik very cordially. "I shall awake you when we arrive". "Ok", "Sure", reply Spike and Drex before falling into a deep sleep. "Aw finally I thought they would never fall asleep" exclaims Robotnik. "Egg-bot 02 have Gerald and Maria's notes been decrypted yet?" says Robotnik addressing the driver. "Yes sir" replies 02. " Also the Sonic and Shadow DNA sequences have been synthesized". "Very good every thing is going according to schedule". "Oh and doctor". "Yes what is it?" "All the other subjects are all present and being prepped for treatment" "Excellent what is our ETA?" "sixty-one minutes twenty-five seconds".

Spike begins to wake up, only to find himself strapped to a cold metal table. " What's going on?" "Where am I?", questions Spike. "Doctor he is waking up. What should I do?" whispers 02. "Is the chamber ready?" responds Robotnik. "Yes". "Good then put him inside initiate stasis and begin the process" "Affirmative". Upon hearing this Spike begins to panic. "No!" "Stop!!" yells Spike. Those were the last words Spike uttered before being surrounded and rendered unconscious by the cold, green liquid of a stasis chamber.
