Chapter 3
Sonic moaned and shifted trying to reach his pounding head but he found that his arms were bound as was his feet, he shook his head but the pounding didn't go.
"it isn't your head" said Shadow "I hear it as well"
"what is it?" asked Sonic turning as much as he could towards the dark hedgehog.
"I'm guessing it's whatever is in that" said Shadow pointing to the metal box at the far side of the room they where in. The metal side flexed as something hit it, growling could be heard as whatever it as tried to get out.
"it doesn't sound friendly" said Sonic shifting. Shadow looked at him before tensing, while they had been talking someone had entered the room and stood before them.
"Ah Shadow how are you?" the man sneered.
"Lazardo" growled Shadow struggling to get at him.
"don't hurt yourself, you and your...friend are of no interest to me" said the Doctor before moving over to the box, opening a little slot and jabbing a needle inside, the banging inside the box grew frantic as the metal actually started the dent. "now, now settle down" said Lazardo. A loud growl answered him followed by weaker ones before they stopped altogether, Lazardo moved away as two lap robot entered with a portable table bolting it to the floor before opening the metal box bring out whatever it was out.
"Knuckles" yelled Sonic seeing the limp Echidna being strapped to the table.
"Ah yes, that is his name pity for such beauty" murmured Lazardo pushing Knuckles quills away from his closed eyes. He moved towards the hedgehogs. "I'm sorry but this is secret" he smirked as he injected both of them with sedative again, Sonic glanced at the prone form of Knuckles before his world went black.
"Dr Lazardo what did you want me for" boomed Dr Robotnic as he came into the room sneering at Shadow and Sonic.
"I have some information for you" said Dr Lazardo smugly "I think it will be of interest to you"
"what?" asked Robotnic impatiently.
"have a seat" said Lazardo as he sat on the edge of the table while Robotnic sat on a seat. "I have been interested in the Echidna race for many years but after they suddenly disappeared my theories where put on hold but this young one here has opened them" said Lazardo running a hand down Knuckles stomach "did you know that they are mostly vegetarian but during pregnancy they eat meat."
"what interest is that to me?" asked Robotnic.
"did you know that there are no female in the race?" carried on Lazardo ignoring Robotic.
"how do they survive?" asked the red haired doctor.
"certain Males can carry children, just like this one hear" said Lazardo letting the information sink in.
"so he can carry children" said Robotnic
"I can create the perfect DNA Solider then get him to carry it adding his DNA so the Emerald will react with it" said Lazardo "the Echidna will bond with the child no matter the father but they need to be dominated to be make as you would say the woman of the relationship."
"go ahead with it" said Robotnic.
"I have done a test run. I am waiting for the results" said the other Doctor pointing at the equipment on the side.
"Very well" said Robotnic.
"What do you want be to do with them?" asked the dark doctor pointing at the drugged Hedgehogs.
"experiment, dice them, hurt them anything you want" sneered Robotnic "just make sure they don't escape, the same goes for that Echidna."
Lazardo watched as Robotnic left.
'that child will not be yours" he said angrily looking down at Knuckles.
"Nor yours" spat Knuckled, purple eyes glaring at the man as he sat up his binds undone.
"What?" shouted the scientist.
"maybe you should make sure that the needle actually goes all the way into your prey" stated Knuckles standing on the table ready to lurch at the scientist.
"fight me but you wont get far, there are guards everywhere and what about your friends, you can't just leave them" Lazardo pointed out smirking. Knuckles growled baring his teeth he was stuck but it didn't mean that he would let the doctor win.
"untie them" he ordered hiding his nervousness.
"why would I do that?" asked Lazardo, Knuckled scanned about him, eyes resting on Lazardo's equipment he jumped off the table walking towards the equipment and picking up a test tube.
"untie them or I will destroy this, then move onto the equipment then the computers with all your information"
"that doesn't matter to me" said Lazardo. Knuckled let the test tube go, watching Lazardo move forward to catch it but Knuckles got there first.
"Doesn't matter hu? I think you should unlock them don't you" said Knuckles. Lazardo reluctantly moved over to the hedgehogs.
"what makes you think that I wont just kill them?" asked the Doctor as he worked on Shadows feet binds.
"then you lose your leverage over me and I'll have nothing to lose" stated Knuckles.
"but your friends would be dead"
"so would you" said Knuckles glaring at Lazardo. The scientist leaned over to undo Shadows hands slipping and syringe into the black hedgehog shoulder before doing the same to Sonic as he undid him.
Although he might escape, the experiment will not go wrong Lazardo thought to himself. "now what Beautiful, they have the sedative to work off"
"I suggest you sit over there and be quiet" said Knuckles sitting by his sleeping friends still holding the test-tube. Lazardo sat opposite him staring, Knuckles shifted glancing at the Doctor before turning away, the room was filled with sterile silence as they waited for the two hedgehogs to wake up.
