Spike suddenly comes into consciousness only to be greeted by a cold, sparsely lit cell.
"What's going on, where am I?" exclaims Spike, only to be answers by silence. Spike rises to his feet and begins to walk around, only to almost immediately bump into a wall. "Ouch!" exclaims a slightly dazed Spike. "What did I just bump into?'' "A wall genius" replies a gruff voice near by. " Now shut up some of us are trying to get some sleep" "Sorry" replies Spike. "So who are you, and where are we?" " Me I'm the boogie man, and this is a nightmare", replies the voice. "What?" says Spike. "Nothing I was just joking," states the voice. "Anyway I'm Brick, and I have no idea where we are". "Oh well I'm Spike" "Nice to meet you Spike. I guess". After this brief discourse Spike and Brick sit in silence, until they hear a door open in the distance. "What's going on", asks Spike. "They must be bringing someone else in" replies Brick "Spike when the guard gets here I say we rush him" "What are you talking about Brick?" "You want to get out of here don't you?" "Yeah" "Well then just charge the guard and run for the door" "Ok". Spike and Brick sit and wait until they see a door open and some one step through it. They immediately charge knocking the figure down, Brick grabbing the person the guard was carrying before running out the door.
The pair exit the door, only to find themselves in a well-lit hallway where the get a good look at themselves, each other, and at what the guard was carrying. "Holy shit what are you?" exclaims Spike. What am I! Whatthe hell are you?" yells Brick. "What do you mean what am I" says Spike before looking at himself. "Oh my god what am I?" "I tell you what you are you are some kind of mutant freak" exclaims Brick. "Well if I am a mutant so are you", retorts Spike. Before Brick gets a chance to respond to Spike's comment the person Brick had taken from the guard begins to awake. "Wha what's going on?" asks the person while still opening his eyes. Upon opening his eyes he scrambles backwards away from Brick and Spike, and begins to address them with an almost childish, fear filled voice. "Ahhhh who or what are you?!", he the looks down at himself, "Oh god what's happened to me!?", after saying this he immediately curls himself into a ball and begins to whimper. "Hey he's just a kid", says Brick. "Yeah and he is absolutely terrified, maybe we should do something" responds Spike. "Ok, but you should do it I'm not very good with kids" "Fine". Spike then kneels next to the whimpering kid in front of him, and starts talking to him to calm him down. "Hey stop crying all right, everything is going to be ok", assures Spike. "My name is Spike, what's yours?" he responds "Miles" a few minutes later after he had calmed down somewhat. "Where are we, and what's going on?", asks Miles with a slightly hesitant tone in his voice. "I really have no idea Miles", responds Spike. "The last thing I remember before all this is riding in a limo with my brother and Dr. Robotnik". "Wait did you say Dr. Robotnik?" interjects Brick. "Yeah why?" responds Spike. "Because the guys that knocked me out and brought me here said they were working for Dr. Robotnik", "Yeah me to" states Miles. "Ok this is just too weird," exclaims Spike. "Why would Dr. Robotnik want to kidnap you two?" "What's that supposed to mean?", shouts Brick. "Nothing, I was just wondering why he would want the two of you, I know why he wanted me and my older brother" "Why did he want you Spike?", asks Miles. "He said he wanted me because I'm good at running". "Um well a while ago he showed up at one of my boxing matches, and tried to recruit me, but I said no," stated Brick. "Ok that explains why he wanted you Brick. What about you Miles?" "He might have seen me at my last robotics competition, or maybe at the alternative energy competition, or at" "Ok Miles we get it" interrupts Brick "You're a genius". But before they get a chance to continue the guard they knocked out wakes up and sounds an alarm. "That can't be a good sign" exclaims Brick, "Looks like the guard woke up" replies Spike "We should get out of here before we get caught", "Sounds like a plan to me" "Me to" state Brick and Miles respectively. The trio runs down the hall, until Spike hears guards coming in their direction. "Wait, stop, I hear guards coming" whispers Spike as loud as possible, "What should we do" asks Miles, "We could hide in that room just ahead of us until they pass by" suggests Brick. The three of them duck inside the room just in time to avoid being caught. "That was close" says Spike "We need to find out how to get out of here and avoid the guards", "Wow! you figure that out all by your self " cracks Brick. "Um guys there's a computer terminal in here" interrupts Miles. "Yeah and your point is?" asks Brick with a slightly condescending tone in his voice. " Well I was thinking that I could use it to find a map of this place" replies Miles. "That's a great idea Miles, go ahead" encourages Spike. "Ok" replies Miles. Miles walks over to the computer turns it on and then begins to type at a nearly superhuman pace. "Found it" exclaims Miles. "Good, now go ahead and print it out so we can get out of this place" advises Spike. "Hold on I think I can do better than a printout" responds Miles, who then begins to type again. "Hurry up kid" says Brick impatiently, "Ok I'm done" states Miles just before the terminal ejects a hand held computer. "What's that?" asks Spike. "It's a remote terminal, not only will it display a map, but it will show us where all the guards are in real time" responds Miles. "Well lets go already" commands Brick.
