Josh turned around to find a speeding flying fox coming towards his position. Tails saw Josh and began to slow down to talk to him, landing a few feet in front of him Tails told Josh that Sally and Bunnie know about Gene. "Oh great," started Josh as he led Tails inside to add Sonic's DNA to the chemical on the table, "this is just what I need, well at least Gene will be completed in under five minutes. Come on Tails would you like to go into my lab again, I need to check with Kim about the hardware that goes with this chemical." Tails could only muster a 'what' before they both entered the lab. . . but both forgetting to reseal the lab!

When Josh and Tails disappeared into the laboratory four well-known animals ran into each other, literally and there names are Sonic, Sally, Bunnie, and Bookshire. "Ouch," Sonic began, being the first one up with everyone else and all began dusting themselves off, "anyone get the number of that hover car that hit me?" "Sonic it was just us," said Sally, "well did you get anything from his computers Bookshire?" "Yes I did Sally," a now alert raccoon spoke, "Josh isn't creating a weapon, he has plans to alter someone's DNA, by fusing two Mobian subjects DNA with an unknown third." "Well ah believe Tails is one for sure," spoke Bunnie, "Josh said so." "Yeah and I bet I'm the other," Sonic recalled and everyone looked at him, "he showed me this thing and he said it can analyze any matter, I bet you it was on." "Very smart Josh," stated the Princess, "we better get over to his hut to see what he is doing." All agreed and left to Josh's large hut.

The four Mobians entered the hut and instantly found the open entrance to the lab. "But I thought there was a bookcase here, not a door?" Stated Bookshire." The four entered the door and were instantly shocked by what they saw, an immense futuristic laboratory, way more advanced then anything they have seen in Robotropolis. And at the far end of the lab was none other then Josh, Kim, and Tails standing next to a large machine that looked just like a roboticizer! "Incredi. . .," Sally started, but was stopped by an alarm. "ALERT, ALERT, INTRUDERS INSIDE THE LABORATORY, ENGAGING DETENTION FORCE SHIELDS," droned a monotone computer voice. Instantly Sonic, Sally, Bunnie, and Bookshire were surrounded by a blue colored bubble, and by instinct Bunnie began punching at the force shield with her robotic arm, but only managed to seriously damage her arm.

By this point Josh, Kim, and Tails made it over to where the force shield was and began questioning the "intruders". "Well, well, well, look what the fox brought in, Josh looking sternly at Tails" "Well it's not my fault that they knew about your project," responded Tails. Josh just laughed "It's ok, Kim Josh turned to the holographic human computer would you repair Miss Rabbot's arm please." Upon that remark a reddish field surrounded, the shocked, Bunnie's arm and within a few seconds the arm looked good as new. "Ma arm, it looks great!" Spoke the now fully repaired rabbit. "Now what am I going to do with you," Josh said while looking at all of the Freedom Fighters inside the shield. "Well you can let us out for starters, then tell us about this 'Project Gene'," began a very P.O.'d Sally, Sonic tried to calm her down but to no avail.

"Only on one condition, you allow me to go forward as I planned with Gene." Stated Josh while walking back to the machine that resembles a roboticizer. Sally thought about her situation and finally agreed the force shield dropped and Kim explained all about the project to the uninformed Freedom Fighters. By the time the explanation was over most seemed to understand the concept, well except for Sonic, and walked up to Josh, who at the moment was about to walk into the machine. "Josh," said Sally, "what you're going to do is just insane, right Bookshire?" The person is question was looking at the machine and then the control panel then looked at Sally, "No Sally, I believe after looking over all this equipment that Josh can and will in fact be able to accomplish this procedure."

"Thank you Bookshire," was the last thing anyone heard from Josh before the door of the machine swung closed and locked shut. Kim walked over to the control panel to monitor the process while Bookshire watched her, but everyone else was watching the machine. The whole process took less then a minute but it was spectacular, every color of the spectrum could be seen emanating from the machine, then finally Kim spoke as the machine stopped running, "Process complete". There was a unlocking sound as the door of the machine raised up, tons of smoke came pouring out of the opening, all eyes were on the entrance of the machine awaiting the exit of the person inside. When finally a figure could be seen exiting the machine, and at that moment all were shocked to see an almost exact replica of Tails, the differences only looking older and being the same height of Sonic. Then the being spoke with voice a little lower pitched then Tails "Say hello to Josh Prower"

Well what do you think?

Josh did it he is now a Mobian

But what do you think the others will say?

Only chapter 5 can tell

On another note, if you read "Goodbye" then read the reviews for the reason why I wrote it and thank you to all of the reviewers.
