Shadow and I were called into the lab. We met a scientist by the name of Dr. Neoga. She explained that she was here to improve weapons of the G.U.N. Agents. And we counted as weapons against Robotnik.
"So are you going to upgrade us or something?" I asked.
"In a sense," Neoga said. "I have samples of enough of your grandfathers' DNA to make you more powerful." She pulled two syringes off a shelf. One had a black label on it, the other a blue label. The liquids inside were clear. "If you take this small shot, you will become as powerful as your grandfather. You can only take one shot though, so I've predetermined who will be getting which shot."
"Okay, I think I'll go first," Shadow said. "I want to get this over with."
After Shadow took the shot, Neoga explained something Grandpa Shadow never told us.
"Your grandfather was an artificial life form, created by a mad scientist to destroy Mobius."
"Did he?" I found myself asking intently.
"No, he made a different call. He kept a promise to his creator's granddaughter. A promise to make everyone happy. He chose to save this world despite his purpose of destroying it. And your grandfather, Sonic was there to help him. He died in the attempt but the alien army called the Black Arms resurrected him, only to be brought down by him.
"Then, Adrian's ancestor, Danny Freeman went back in time but he couldn't stop either of your grandfathers' deaths from an explosion. He and his twin brother, Xavier, were given their powers and the chaos emeralds until they were resurrected by Light Gaia during their quest to stop Dark Gaia from destroying Earth, the home planet of humans nowadays."
"So my grandfather was killed three times now?" Shadow asked.
"If you count the Purge as a killing, yes." The needle and the liquid DNA went into Shadow's arm. Shadow seemed to have a fit after the shot. Then Dr. Neoga clamped some rings onto his wrists and he settled down. He was panting, but he seemed alright.
"What was that?" I asked a little concerned.
"The original Shadow couldn't control all his power on his own." Neoga said. "These rings were clamped onto his wrists until he needed an extra burst of power. He never took them off unless the need was great. I advise you to do the same, Shadow. Now for your 'upgrade,' Sonic."
She injected me with my grandfather's DNA and I felt a rush of power. It wasn't as much as Shadow's and it wasn't as long, but it was definitely there. I asked why my power surge wasn't as powerful as Shadow's.
"Sonic could control his power because it wasn't that strong." Neoga said. "However it was still significant. Don't put Shadow as more special just because he's got stronger power."
A call came on my headset. Argentum said that there was someone outside of Base waiting for me and Shadow. They brought a huge island with them.
