"How many tests do you plan to run on me?"Alex was annoyed by the fact that she was awakened from her slumber and once again cuffed to the table.
"Until I get what I want", the Doctor replied as he typed on his computer. Alex watched as a chart of her body appeared on the screen. There were two images: one that showed her normal state and one that displayed her super form. Codes and other charts filled the screen around her image.
"Chase!"
The chameleon came out of his camouflage form. "Yes master?"
"Here." The doctor handed the chameleon a syringe needle. "Make sure all of it is used."
"Yes sir." The chameleon camouflaged and made his way towards Alex. She didn't notice until she felt a sharp pain in her arm.
"Hey! What are you…" Her mouth closed. Her mind went blank and her body froze.
"Alex?", the Doctor snapped his fingers. The cuffs around her wrists and ankles unlocked and she stood up. Her eyes were blank, as if she was being possessed.
"Yes master." She bowed in front of him and waited for an order. She was now under his control.
….on the outskirts of Mobotropolis
"Where are we?", Sonic asked looking around.
The Freedom Fighters made there through what seemed like ruins left from the old Robotropolis. Tails' led the group, holding a GPS in his hand pointing it at different rundown buildings to see if they had reached their destination.
"I thought we had cleaned all this up after New Mobotropolis was built", Nate said.
"I guess we missed a few spots", Sally replied. They kept walked until Tails' GPS began to beep. They all stood in front of an abandoned factory.
"I guess this is the place." Tails turned off the sound on his GPS. "Do you hear anything Nate?"
Nate closed his eyes and listened carefully. He could hear the beeping of machines and someone typing on a computer. And then it hit him.
"…Yes Master.."
He knew that voice anywhere. It was a voice he missed hearing. It was Alex. He quickly opened his eyes.
"She's in there!" Nate wanted to rush in but Sonic held him back.
"Slow down there. We can't just barge right in there. That would be rude", Sonic smirked.
They quietly opened the door and slipped in.
"I can sense a security system in here", NICOLE said, "I'll tap into it and shut it down."
Within seconds the lasers and motion sensors shutdown due to NICOLE's tap into the system. The gang made their way through the maze of the factory that was displayed on Tails' GPS.
"It says there is an underground compound here." Tails stopped in front of a stairwell that went down. It was dark and musty, as if it hadn't been used in awhile.
"So who's first?" Sonic turned to look at everyone.
"I'll go." Nate led the group quietly down the steps. It seemed as if it was never ending as it spiraled downwards.
"Jeez, how deep are we?" Sonic asked stopping to take a break after walking down the flight of stairs.
"About 20ft. underground", Tails replied. They walked down a corridor until they reached a door.
"Great, another door. Is there going to be stairs behind this one too?" Sonic impatiently waited as Tails unlocked it. He slowly pushed it open. Just as they stepped in an alarm went off.
"NICOLE, I thought you shutdown the system!", Sally yelled over the loud beeping of the alarm.
"I did. There must have been a backup that I didn't sense!", NICOLE replied.
….in the lab
"We have intruders! Chase, go see what the problem is."
"Yes master." The Chameleon disappeared. The doctor turned to his computer and changed the screen to view a camera.
"Ah, are these your friends?" The doctor watched as Tails, Sonic, Nate, and Sally ran through the hallway. "Should we give them a nice welcome?"
Alex said nothing. She just stood her post waiting for the Doctor to tell her what to do.
"Alex, why don't you greet them for me?"
"Yes master." Alex turned and ran out of the lab. The Doctor snickered and looked back at the screen, waiting for the show to begin.
