"This is...incredible. I didn't think anything like this could exist," said one of the lab workers. He was staring into a tank full of fluid. In the fluid, there was a person. The person looked about thirteen, with eyes a deep blue like the ocean. He had been found wearing a blue T-shirt, blue jeans and white, Ben Sherman trainers. The noticeably strange thing was that his hair was blue, spiked to look like Sonic the Hedgehog. Another strange thing was, he had spikes, similar to Sonic the Hedgehog, on his back. To anyone who looked at him, he was Sonic the Hedgehog in human form, almost a splitting image.
To the left, another identical tank contained a young girl about the same age. She had deep, green eyes, almost emerald green. She had been found, with the others, in a purple T-shirt, with uniquely white jeans, almost the same colour as snow. She wore white trainers with a thin, pink stripe running around it. Her hair was a fair colour, almost light brown with noticable purple stripes and reached her shoulders. When the scientists took a DNA sample, they found the boy and girl were twins.
To the right of the boy, there was another identical tank, containing another boy. He looked to be the same age, if not older. He was found wearing a strange black T-shirt, with black jeans. He wore strange black trainers with a red stripe running around it. He had strange, red eyes, almost blood-red, and even had hair as black as night. He also had it spiked like Shadow the Hedgehog, even down to the stripes being coloured red. Upon closer inspection, his true form appeared to be hidden, with no way to reveal it.
In the final tank, a girl with strange hair as white as snow. She had violet hue eyes, with her hair reaching about her shoulders too. She wore a black T-shirt, with combat trousers and white trainers with a black stripe in the middle. She looked the same age as the others, but had a strange crescent shaped scar facing left, looking like the moon. There was one thing all four had in common. They all had power that, when measured, almost broke all of the examination instruments.
As the scientist looked at all four tanks, a grey haired man with skin almost as grey entered. He wore glasses, and wore a suit, looking like a businessman. He walked over to the scientist, commenting "I see you're interested in these four. But please tell me, who are they, and how were they found." The scientist turns to reply "These four were found in some kind of gem, almost as if they were fossils. They appear to have been in there for a few months, going by the age of the gem itself. However, it appears as if they...they...don't exist." The man raises an eyebrow "What do you mean, "don't exist", I can see them for myself." The scientist replies "What I meant sir is that they aren't in any database. They have no records. They may have been deleted, or they were never there. And before you ask, I checked every database. Fingerprints, photo ID, DNA samples, nothing."
The man turns to the four tanks, fascinated by how, even after being inside a gem, these four children still lived, and were in perfect health. He looked closer at the one who looked like Sonic the Hedgehog, seeing something on the back of his hand. He turned to the scientist "What's this thing on the boy's hand," and the scientist replies "It looks like some kind of symbol. It isn't a tattoo, or any other man-made marking. Maybe it's a birthmark." The man turns to check the other three, commenting "Your tests showed they had power?" and the scientist replies "Well, there were no recent power surges to break the equipment, so I think they may have powers beyond our understanding. Think they might be useful to us." The man says "Oh yes. Very useful indeed," and starts to leave.
