G.U.N. headquarters (area 51: cryogenic freezing division)

The day had finally come he is going to be frozen. He wasn't really looking forward to this day that he knew that it was necessary to protect those whom he cared for safe from the evil that lurked inside him. Spyke walked the long corridor that led to the freezing room where he would be sealed for over 2000 years. It wasn't something he was looking for to but it had to be done. He couldn't bear to take any more innocent lives; he did not want that on his conscience. Soon everything would be laid to rest he wouldn't have to worry about keeping his power in check about trying not to get angry and kill everything in sight.

The corridor was long and quiet. He finally reached the door to door that leads him to a seemingly everlasting sleep. When you open the door he couldn't believe who was standing there waiting for him. His wife and Kat was there holding their new born son in her arms. This was perhaps the biggest torture that could be brought upon either of them. "Why are you here Kat," he said sternly. "This isn't something you should see. Especially not after just getting out of the hospital," he added with ever growing fear and hurt in his eyes.

Hefting the baby up a bit so as to get a better grip on him and to put the child into perspective for her husband, "We came to show you that we care about you." Kat started to cry as she choked out the next few words, "Why does this have to happen to you, to us? Why?"

Calmly he looked at his beloved, taking in all of her features one last time. The tips of her quills that was still slightly pinkish from her little experiment, her emerald green eyes, and her strong demeanor. He took it all in as he reached out and touched her face, caressing it, trying desperately to comfort his beloved. "Everything is going to be alright Kat. I'm going in there now and I'm not coming out for over two thousand years. For all intense and purposes I'm going to be dead to the world so I want you to promise me this, that you will remarry for the sake of our son. Please, do it for me. I don't want my son to grow up without a father figure in his life." His beaming yellow eyes pleaded with her as a puppy would beg to be played with.

Kat wrestled with the thought in her head for what seemed like an eternity. Her concentration was broken however as a Military Policeman (MP) brought them both back to the here and now.

"Excuse me but its time sir," the young MP addressed Spyke.

"I'll be right there," Spyke said as the MP was addressing the couple. "Think about what I said Kat," he said as he placed his arms around her and gave one last kiss and kissed the young boy hedgehog on the head in his mother's arms. "This is it. Good bye Kat," he said mournfully as he made his way to the large tubes at the back of the room, "I love you," would be the last words that she would ever hear from her beloved husband's mouth as he slowly got into the far right tube. The glass door shut and the tube began filling with a clear liquid that looked like water but was far thicker than real water. The solution filled at a rapid rate and Spyke was trying to adjust fast to the rising amount of water-like substance.

The level of breathable air in the tube was slowly diminishing and Spyke did his best to sty near the top of the liquid level. But like all things the liquid reached the top which happened to be grated with metal bars so as to prevent inhalation of air. At this Spyke drew his last breath and began to calm down and float solemnly in the mixture of different chemicals. No sooner had he closed his eyes then a freezing agent was dumped into the vat freezing him instantaneously.

Rivers of tears escaped Kat's eyes as she watched the whole procedure done with clocklike precision. The baby, as if sensing his mother's plight began to cry as well. Their sobs could be heard well outside the room they were in.

Kat and her now fatherless son were escorted out of the base as soon as they had calmed down enough. She had been granted visitation rights but waved them seeing as how she would only be putting herself and the young child through unimaginable pain with each visit. As she walked to the awaiting car she stole one last look at the base that would be her husband's burial ground for the next two thousand years.

10,000 years later (Mobian year; 3236 approx.) Station Square General Hospital.

His eye lids were heavy yet he struggled with all his might to pry them open, but all he was met with was a blinding light which stung his eyes back into their dark confines. I thought I had been frozen? He thought to himself. My time couldn't already be up? It hasn't felt like more than two seconds. Perplexed and yet curious Spyke forced himself to face the bright light once again but this time he kept his eyes open despite the pain it brought him. His eyes slowly began to adjust allowing him to see the room he was in. he was in a hospital bed that seemed rather simple with its white floor and white walls. He had all sorts of equipment hooked up to him but the only thing he recognized was the heart monitor. The equipment in the room that monitored him seemed to be fairly advanced and seeing as he was now in the future it was no doubt a more advanced culture. I wonder…, He thought. I wonder how well we Anthromorphs are treated in this future civilization? No sooner had he thought this than something caught his attention, he could hear voices on the other side of the door to the room. He tried eavesdropping on what they were talking about but the heart monitor made far too much noise for him to make out anything. With this in mind he closed his eyes and muttered a word he had kept secret for many years before he met his friend Angie or his wife Kat. "Chaos Eye," the moment these words were muttered he opened his eyes to reveal a completely different looking set of eyes. Though still yellow, the pupils in both eyes had been completely taken over by the color green. Not only that but small green veins similar in shape to lightning bolts now appeared in the irises in both eyes.

With these eyes Spyke could now see in three hundred and sixty degrees around his body and see through objects in his field of vision which has been increased to five miles with this little eye technique. Spyke focused his chakra into his eyes with a bit more strain than he remembered, due to his not using the Chaos Eye for quite some time but it worked he could now see the life auras and silhouettes of those talking outside of his door. They appeared to be two humans, male and female, talking to three smaller possibly Anthromorphic beings, two male and one female. Although he could hear them well he could make out the gist of what they were saying. They were concerned about Spyke's health and were considering moving him to another location. Spyke deactivated his doujutsu (eye technique) and laid back into the hospital bed left to ponder what he has just witnessed. He came to only one conclusion; he had to find some way to deal with this boredom.

With this in mind he took note of the monitor's sensors that were on his chest and arms. This set off and idea of almost cataclysmic proportions and he grinned a sinister grin upon its surfacing. His ears leaned back and a phrase escaped his mouth "This is going to be good…" he muttered.
