Team Chaos - Chapter 14: A visit to Tails' lab


It was a little past midnight, and to allow the others to get some rest, Sly volunteered to stay up and wait for Shadow, who had not returned from his date with Amy Rose earlier that day. He sat there, in a chair by the door, nervously watching the time tick by on the clock next to him. Various reasons for the hedgehog's disappearance popped-up in his thoughts. He grew more worried minute by minute “Where could he be?” That question stuck in his mind.

Sly was struggling to keep himself awake, for the clock now showed the time of four o'clock in the morning, and the night was starting to take it's toll on the raccoon.

He couldn't take any more, his body and will gave in. He slowly allowed himself to doze off in the chair, unable to force his eyes open any longer.

----------------------

Sly twitched to the feeling of warmth touching his body and the sun shining on his face. He jerked himself awake and glanced around. Shadow was nowhere to be seen. “Maybe...he stayed at her house.” His mind relaxed and a grin appeared on his face as that thought rolled by.

He looked over to his sleeping allies. He decided to go check on the young fox he had met in the forest, while his teammates slept and to keep himself from worry and boredom.

Sly pushed himself up from the chair and walked out the door, quietly closing it behind him. He took a deep breath to smell the crisp morning air and slowly let out a breath of relief.

After that refreshing sniff, he took off down the road.

----------------------

Tails was in his lab, working on a machine that stood in front of him, when he heard a knock at the door. He placed his wrench on the work table and walked over to the entrance of his lab. He twisted and pulled on the door knob, forcing the door to open. “Hi there!” Sly greeted with a big grin.

“It's you! But... how did you find me? I never told you where I lived...or where my lab was.” Tails said, startled by his visitor.

“Well, this actually wasn't the first place I came to. I had to ask several people where you were. Uh...do you mind if I come in?”

“Oh! No, I don't mind. Come on in!.” Tails stepped out of the way to allow Sly to access the building.

“Wow. Nice place,” Sly said as entered. “Telling by all the gadgets, this is your lab, right?”

“Yep...by the way, I'm just curious, what brought you here?”

“Well...I wanted to ask you something...”

“Ask what?” Tail's replied.

“If you've seen Shadow yesterday or today...”

“No I haven't, sorry. Why? What happened?”

“Yesterday he went on a date with that pink hedgehog, and I haven't seen him since.”

“A date...with AMY?” Tails' eyes widened.

“Yeah, I believe that's her name...but do you at least have an idea on where he'd be?”

Tails pulled himself out of his shocked state and replied to the raccoon's question. “Well...Amy has a notorious way of getting people to stay at her house longer then they intended, maybe he's there.”

“I suspected the same thing, so... he just might be.” Sly's gaze drifted to an unfinished machine. “What's that gizmo?”

“Well, do you remember the talk we had in the forest? This is the machine that will restore Shadow's memory.”

“So you've started building it, huh? How is it supposed to work?”

Tails cleared his throat. “I've been studying amnesia which, when one takes a hard hit to the head, damages a nerve in the brain, or to put it simply, causes a 'gap'. Which results in losing what it had once stored. In other words, it's kind of similar to how a computer loses data after it crashes.”

“So...if Shadow's brain lost what it stored, how, exactly, is this machine going to get it back?”

“It's not 'lost' exactly. It was just placed in a different part of his brain.”

“...”

“Most likely a part that is unused. And because that 'data' is still there, he'll some times get flashbacks.”

“Okay, I'm starting to understand a little more, but continue.”

“That's why I'm designing this machine to trace that data and restore it... I just need to do several more studies and adjustments.”

“How long will it take?”

“At least a week.”

“Guess I should let you finish, huh? Well, see ya later!” Sly said to Tails as he walked out the door.

-------------------------

Sly quietly opened the door to the hideout, trying not to wake any one. “Dude! Where have you been?” Ratchet yelled at the unsuspecting raccoon.

“Uh, I just went to go check on some one.” Sly replied, trying to hide his startled voice.

“Who.” Sora asked

“That fox, who was with that blue hedgehog in the forest...um...is Shadow back yet?”

“Nope.” Ratchet said as he plopped down on the couch.

Sly looked out the window, towards Amy's house. “It couldn't hurt to wait for him just a little longer.” He sat down on the couch as well , reviewing over the lesson about amnesia that Tails taught him today.
This chapter's short, I know. But it's another 'place holder' for future events. The next chapter will be better than this one.

Chapter 14: Shadow has not returned yet and it's got Sly worried

Rated T for mild language, violence and romance scenes(gets intense in future chapters)
