Hey guys this is SteelWingAngel back in action. Sorry for taking so long continuing this story, grades just came in and I'm not so happy with them so I might be doing more studying and less writing but the good news is that this Thanksgiving break I will be writing more chapters until the break is done. So let's continue with this story.
Tying Broken Bonds
The gang walked downstairs to Tails lab which seems to have lots of random machinery like the parts of Metal Sonic Tails found at the last battle they had with him and the communicator for the wisps from the last battle they had with Dr. Robotnik. There was one of the battle suits Tails made for Sonic but he never used it because Sonic's obnoxious pride of doing his battles legit. The X-Tornado sitting in the middle of the lab, which Tails somehow moved it down in his own. "So, how exactly are you going to get my memories back?" said Mephiles still fascinated with the lab. "Right over here." The two hedgehogs stopped in front of a machine covered in a white rag. "Ladies and Hedgehogs, I present to you my new invention, the Memory Configurator!" Mephiles clapped his hands and at the same time Sonic whistled, all being impressed with the invention Tails has made. It was a giant pod, twice the size of the both Hedgehogs. It has 3 lunar light bulbs in the top, rings around it with the colors from yellow to green then to red flowing from up to down. It had extra thick glass as the front cover. "Damn Tails, you have a lot of free time. "Yeah, I guess I do." Tails said, blushing little while rubbing the back of his head. "So, how does this thing work exactly." said Mephiles still impressed by the machine. "Oh, it's real easy; the Memory Configurator can send ultra sound waves through your brain to locate your lost memories with this control pad here and the cool thing is that it can also reconfigure memories, so in other words change them." Tails said finishing his sentence with a proud smile. "Interesting." said Mephiles in wonder. Cerus nodded in agreement. "So, we can begin anytime you're ready." "Ok then let's start then right now." nodded Mephiles. Then suddenly Sonic pulled Tails arm and looked back at Mephiles. "Can you give us a sec?" said Sonic giving Mephiles a weird smile. Mephiles nodded back at the two. Sonic released Tails arm and moved him to a corner. He took a quick glance at Mephiles to make sure he's not looking. Luckily he just saw him talking to his bird. "Ok Sonic; what's the big problem dragging me back here." said Tails giving Sonic an unpleasant look. "My problem is that are you sure you want to give back his memories. I mean what if he gets his memories back and becomes evil again with the whole, I'm going to destroy you and everyone you love, thing." Tails took a quick sigh at what Sonic just said. "C'mon Sonic you can't be series I mean look at him, (both staring at Mephiles playing and giggling with Cerus.) He looks completely harmless. You don't think when he even gets his memories back he's still going to destroy us. He's a changed man in a new life that just needs someone to lead the way for him." "I know, I want to believe that too but I just have the strangest feeling that something bad is going to happen." said Sonic with his head and ears down. " You care about don't you?" questioned Tails. "Yeah, so what?" Is this got something to do with the break up?" said Tails with his arms crossed and his eyebrow up. "No nothing to do with that! "said Sonic shouting which startled Cerus causing him to quickly fly up from Mephiles shoulder. Mephiles looked at the two heroes. "Uh." was the only thing Sonic could say as the three friends looked at each other awkwardly. "So, are we going to start this thing or not?" said Mephiles breaking the awkward silence between them. "Sure thing." said Tails which quickly pointed both fingers at Sonic meaning to talk about this conversation later. Sonic merely rolled his eyes back at Tails. "Now, would you kindly take a step in the capsule." said Tails as Mephiles nodded back at Cerus telling him to stay back with the two. Tails went to the one of the drawers next to one of the tables in the middle of the lab. He opened the drawer grabbing 3 goggles and giving Sonic one of the goggles and Cerus an extra small pair which were originally for a Chao in one of his other experiments. He walks up to the control pad next to the machine and turn's the knob, swipes the pad and presses a few buttons. "Okay, the Memory Configurator is all powered up and ready to go." said Tails telling Sonic and Cerus to move a few steps back in case of any immediate danger. "Ready as you are." replied Mephiles with a thumbs up. "Mephiles, are you sure you want to do this?" asked Sonic a little worried about the whole thing. "I'm sure as I'll ever be." replied Mephiles who is also starting to get really nervous as well. "Okay Mephiles, the machine is now activated." said Tails. "Now Mephiles if you feel any imminent pain or light headedness I want you to tap the glass. It's okay it's not sound proof so we can hear whatever you say." instructed Tails. Mephiles nodded in response. "Let's start now!" shouted Tails pushing a button on his pad. Then suddenly light blue rings surrounded Mephiles heading up and down slowly. Mephiles was actually intrigued by this. "It's okay Mephiles it's just the sound waves locating your lost memories. Cerus, who was also dumfounded about the Machine doing its work, just can't stop staring at those rings. Sonic was thinking in his head, "Maybe Mephiles really did change and all he needs is a new kick start in life and maybe I can help him with that." He was immediately interrupted in his thoughts as Tails was monitoring the pad trying to locate the missing memories. "This is strange?" said Tails scratching his head in confusion. "What is it!" said Mephiles and Sonic both shouted at the same time. Cerus was nodding at the confusion of what just happened. The two hedgehogs both looked at each other in shock. Mephiles was likely in bigger shock. He's never seen someone actually worry about him at all. Well, as long as he remembered. Sonic, who looked at Mephiles suddenly turned away and faced Tails with a small blush that's barely noticeable, was also shocked but not as shocked as Mephiles. "That's strange, why does do I feel embarrassed in front of him. Sonic was once again interrupted in his thoughts by Tails loudly cuffing to get the two hedgehogs attention. "As I was saying, the weird thing was that for some odd reason, I can't find Mephiles memories. "What!" screamed Mephiles? "What are you talking about not finding my memories? shouted Mephiles. Tails was a bit scared at the moment took a step back a little in fear. "Mephiles calm down, I'm sure Tails has a reasonable explanation on why he can't find you memories, go ahead buddy. "Tails took a quick breath and looked at Mephiles who was glaring at him for an answer. "The reason on why I can't find our memories is because there not there. It's like somebody took them or something." Mephiles, Sonic and even Cerus were shocked. Mephiles was suddenly breathing heavily and was panicking inside the capsule. Everything was going through his head like what if he can never find his memories about himself and if he can live on not knowing. The gang quickly ran up to Mephiles. Tails was shocked, even though he was a genius in gadgets, he doesn't know what to do in a situation like this. Sonic luckily knew exactly what to do as this happened with Amy a few times in shock and Knuckles once. "Tails, I want you to open the lid, he can barely breathe in that thing." ordered Sonic. Tails was still in shock watching Mephiles as he was panicking himself. Meanwhile Cerus was pecking hard against the glass in worry hoping to break it and set him free. "TAILS!" shouted Sonic. "Oh right, sorry, got it. Tails pressed a button in his pad and released Mephiles who was still breathing heavily. "Calm down Mephiles, just calm down and breath slowly." instructed Sonic who was surprisingly calm. Mephiles was slowly calming down and was brought upstairs to the couch. He was wrapped in a blanket sitting upright with Sonic next to him and Cerus sitting on his shoulder on the other side. Tails was coming out of the kitchen with a glass of water. "Thank you." said Mephiles. "So, what now?" asked Tails sitting down on the couch as well? "I guess I have to start living a new life for myself." said Mephiles in despair. "Yeah, that's a good start and I know somebody who can help you with that." said Tails who turned staring at Sonic. "Who me?" said Sonic surprised. "You, you can help Me." asked Mephiles who was also staring at Sonic. "I don't know, I mean." "C'mon Sonic, you're the most reasonable guy I know. Plus, you're the hero of Mobieus. You can easily help with him." "Me, how about you Tails?" asked Sonic. "C'mon Sonic, you know I'm not really an outside person. "Well if you say so, I'll help." said Sonic proudly standing up with thumbs up. "Great." said Tails smiling." "Mephiles was also smiling a bit. "So where do us start." asked Mephiles. "Where else, the City that's where you'll start your new life.
Phew, that was my new chapter for now. Was a little tired when I wrote this so I'm sorry if there were any spelling errors. Still, it was a while since I started a new chapter. Everything is going to be a little slow seeing how my first semester is almost done. But, in the bright side, Winter Break is almost here and this gives me a chance to write as many chapters as I want. So hooray for winter! Until we meet next time, I'm out!
