Option 1:

Shadow Fenix has been selected to participate in a program that would boost his TPE to 5000, allowing him to max out every stat. The program is offered by a top secret organization in Seattle, called the ArgoBonds, a reference to their James Bond esque deeds for the Seattle Argonauts. They've realized that by making the league more entertaining for fans, the Argonauts will become a team that will grow to the world stage, and act as the first step to their plan for world domination. Shadow Fenix, being a new rookie, seemed like a player where nobody would notice if they suddenly improved very quickly. The plan is to bring him onto a boat, and give him an injection to let him obtain his newfound skills. The procedure has only a slim chance of working, but the ArgoBonds are very hopeful. Fenix doesn't know that this is what is going to happen, he's just been told that it's a flu shot. We'll see what happens next.
