Sonic and Knuckles: The Experimental Game

Chapter 2: G.A.M.E

Sonic woke up with a brief headache. Once his eyes adjusted, he took a look around of what look like a metal bar cage. It big enough for him to fit in, but at the same time, it was small enough for him not to stand in. The room was dark and only gets light from open door of the room where the hallway lights are on. Not worrying of where they are or located, Sonic's eyes made a search for Knuckles, only to find him in a cage next to him. Knuckles woke up shaking his head moaning tries to stand, but then hits his head due to the size of his cage. His cage was a quarter times bigger than Sonic's. But what they don't like about it is that it makes them feel like trapped animals in a zoo. It also reminds them they've been held prisoners and placed in cages to other villans they don't want to mention.

The same people who kidnapped them came in through the doorway. The frog grinned as he sees the blue hedgehog and red echidna awake. But yet he gets an unsatisfying look from them. "Ah, you are avake." He said with a smile. "De doctor vill see you now." Knuckles looked unexpectedly confused."Wait, are we getting a doctor's appointment? Because I forgot to set up one." Sonic made a huge facepalm at that comment. "Why do you think we are trapped here you big sack of boulders?" He thought but didn't manage to say it out loud in order to keep his tough image. The frog laughed at Knuckles' joke and introduces himself. "My name is Dr. Klug. It is German for smart and clever." Sonic and Knuckles let out a laugh from what they heard. They laughed until they either fall to their sides or backs. The word 'Klug' was a funny name to call a doctor; even if it had an impressive meaning. "Klug? What kind of name is that?" Sonic said as he laughed. "That's a name you give to a doctor when you 'klug' something up. Ow!" Knuckles laughed and his side began to hurt from all the laughter. Dr. Klug grew annoyed to the puns and laughter. The bulldog and rat opened the cages and dragged them both out. Sonic and Knuckles stood on there knees as the two bodyguards held them down. "As you already met dem, dese are a couple of friends of mine. De bulldog over here is name Travis, and de rat here is name Pac." "'Pac rat'? I get it." Sonic snorted. Pac snarled, "watch it rat!" "Look who's talking." Sonic said again. The expression on Pac's face looks like he wanted beat the blueness out of Sonic, yet he kept it maintained.

A doctor was standing in front of a wall size window and stared at jungle that was facing him. He had a marble in his hand and was rolling it in his fingertips. He was a silver wolf gray tips on his tail and ears. His eyes were as red as the redness of the strawberries that were sitting on the desk; waiting to he eaten. The door flew open and Sonic and Knuckles came in with thir hands cuffed in Travis' and Pac's grips. Dr.Klug came in with a loud and proud tone. "Sir? Are these the clients you asked me to search?" The doctor turned around to see who they brought.

He smiled and asked Dr. Klug to leave and the bodyguards to stand by the door. "Who are you?" Sonic asked questionably. The doctor let out a soft chuckle and spoke, "My name is Doctor Arnold Statham. I am the lead scientist of a facility name G.A.M.E. You will be staying here so that I can run some tests on you two." Sonic became confused. "Says who?" Knuckles asked with his voice sturdy. "I do." replied Dr. Statham. "Unless you are looking for someone for this," Sonic began, "You must have mistaken us for someone else." "I know just who you are Sonic. Especially your friend Knuckles." he replied in a calm voice. Sonic's eyes widened, and his heart began to race. How does he know who they were? Have someone been spying on them? More importantly, how did they found out about them?

Sonic began responding "How did you-" "I did some research." The doctor interrupted. "Stalker." Knuckles blurted. Dr. Statham called out for the bodyguards. "You're tests will began tomorrow. But for now, make yourselfs a home. "In a cage." Sonic and Knuckles both thought as the Travis and Pac took them back to their cages.

Night grew and Sonic and Knuckles sat in their cages. Has they're friends noticed that they were gone? Have they been kidnapped as well? All these thoughts made Sonic worry. "What kind of tests are the doctor planning on us?" Knuckles asked. "I don't know. The important thing is how are we gonna get out of here?" Sonic says. He layed on the cold metal that was underneath him so that he can get some sleep. He needed a plan. A plan to get them out. A plan to get away. But how are they gonna get away is the real question. They can't just run out. Who knows what kind of crazy security system they have in this facility. Sonic is at a loss right now. He thought about what the doctor said. It gave him chills to the spine. He can't think straight. He just wants the day to be over with.
