Onto awesome news time... this story has had over 1500 hits. Don't know if that's good or not but hey for a first fanfiction that you've been writing blind through the whole time...

Don't own any characters, if I did, I would go on fanfiction and be all like "you can't use them, I'm a dick, blah blah blah." But sadly I can't... as I don't own any characters.

Now on with the show (or formatted web document... whatever you want to call it) sorry it's not as big as it usually is. 1754 words this time

I lay down on the hard metal flooring, back to the wall, heart going a million miles a minute...

Eggman looked at me worryingly, then to Shadow, that's when I noticed him.

He was crying.

Shadow the hedgehog, ultimate lifeform, was crying.

I tried to get up... couldn't.

"Don't try to move Tails, the memory cards are somewhat dangerous and difficult to control..." Eggman said, not shifting his gaze from Shadow. I tried to speak, but stopped when I found the taste of copper in my mouth.

"... in layman's terms, when they are used they trick the mind into believing everything in the memory is actually happening, your body put itself into a state of shock after Miles was zapped by the Chaos Engraver, just like the machine did to him... well you." Eggman stated grimly. "Which could make our task slightly more dangerous." He finished.

Our task?

I guess it was our task, but I didn't like it one bit, Eggman must be trying to gain something out of this, and he's never been this nice for such an extended period of time. "what are you up to?"

But this made no sense, none.
I had memories of growing up, of my parents, of them being murdered by Eggman's robots...
I remember it like it was yesterday... but are those thought's those memories even real? Was Eggman to blame for their death... no they never existed, they never frickin existed.

What the hell am I? Why the hell was I on the Ark? This was all so confusing, so infuriating!

What I just saw happen on the Ark was real I felt like I experienced it before! Gone through it before!

Griping onto Eggman's table, I was finally able to pull myself up. He looked slightly alarmed, and the E-series aimed it's guns at me...

... for good reason, there was blood in my mouth.

Eating meat had been banned on Mobius for four centuries, once carnivorous species like myself were forced to adopt a vegetarian diet... the whole scenario made us fit in and people liked not having to look behind their back all the time for predatorily danger...

But when we try to go our whole lives without the taste of flesh and blood, a simple broken nose can cause a blood high, which is not a pretty sight!

In this case it was the blood in my mouth from when Miles got zapped.

The claws on my ungloved hand started to carve the table without my permission.

My personality would be fluctuating like this over the next several hours, I tried to calm myself down, first by trying to pat my fur down as it was sticking on end. Eggman seemed relieved when he saw me doing this. Shadow was still whimpering like a little girl in the corner.

"I'm afraid that was all I could find on you Tails, it seems most of your data was left on a secure computer back on the Ark." Eggman stated. "I will give you a copy of all the files I have, so long as you tell me anything interesting you might come up with." Eggman said, while pulling out an external hard drive from his table. I grabbed it without a word, I could tell it annoyed him, I hadn't said anything since coming out of the memory.

"Now if you would please follow my E-series out that would be great, I'm not particularly fond of having a fox on a blood-high near me, especially one my grandfather made!" Eggman snapped and I turned to follow the robot out, before a question popped into my head.

"You said you didn't know where I came from?"

"You were created on the Ark... but the DNA required... was given to Gerald by an alien race known as the Black Arms... along with the Chaos Emeralds" Eggman said calmly, now completely focused on Shadow again. Who had regained some of his composure and was lying against the wall.

"I'm sorry I did that to you Tails." He said, although I believed he cared more about seeing Maria again... even if it was through my eyes.

"Idiot didn't you hear Miles... We made up and were friends again... Drop it shads!" I snapped, I would be punching myself for saying that later I knew it. Shadow looked like he was about to kill me. I just hope he'll try.

I turned to leave... there was no point in prolonging my stay for I had all the answers in my hand. As the door shut behind me I briefly heard Eggman saying "he didn't mea..."

Well at least Shadow knew what was going on in my head now. As I walk down the hallway I notice that Bokkun is flying down to the room Eggman was in, and seemed to be enjoying a rather large piece of cake. I would probably find out why he was later since he probably had something to do with distracting Sonic.

"What is Sonic going to make of this?"

Who cares... what mattered at the moment was I had just left the base... and had no clue where I was. It was night time here. Pulling my right glove up slightly, I quickly glanced at my watch. It was 12:30pm back home.

Sure I could just run in one direction until I found sunlight, but to be honest I think if Sonic had gone through what I have today, he probably wouldn't want to run either.

I wanted desperately just to get home, and work on my Tornado or watch TV or just do anything in general to try taking my mind of ripping everything around me to bits.

I was still standing outside Eggman's base and that E-Series looked oh-so destructible. I managed to shrug it off however... I needed to be on friendly terms with the doctor.

I considered going back in and asking Shads to Chaos Control me back home, I was about to go back in when I felt one of my tails spark with energy.

It was the yellow Chaos Emerald I put in there this morning in the event Shadow won the race. And I suddenly knew I would be able to use it for Chaos Control.

I pulled it out, and focused on home, and then I was in my living room.

I didn't even know what I did, I just ran on auto-pilot the whole time I was doing it.

Was this what Chaos Control felt like for Shadow and Sonic? When they Chaos Control me I just normally felt sick and dizzy... looking up I saw a very bemused Sonic sitting on the couch. "Whoa little bro, how you learn to do that?"

"How did you Sonic!" my face scrunched up instantly. "Sorry, blood high, bad news, talk later." I said before turning around and trying to head out the front door. I was going to head for the garage, as I saw Cream bringing the X-Tornado down. Metal was standing on the top of it like Sonic normally did, I'll have to run diagnostics on him later to try to figure out what happened.

"Tails, ummm Knuckles is sorta angry so ummm... if he comes around could you perhaps hide? I don't want to see you in a fight when you're like this." Sonic asked carefully.

(Normal POV)

"So every carnivorous species here has this problem?" Shadow asked, back to his normal self.

"Yes... Here, this means that Tails DNA came from Mobius in the first place... Mobius species evolve quickly you see... that's how every species here can breed together without detrimental effects..." Eggman started. "... This means there's a high probability your DNA is from here as well... which explains where you're from... but not how you're DNA got from here to there, unless the Black Arms have some kind of inter-dimensional portal." Eggman finished, as Shadow spoke up."Nor does it explain how Tails got here." Eggman pondered this over for a minute.

"You're implying Tails got here by himself? HO HO HO, This could be better than I expected!" Eggman said as he got up and went over to where Tails was lying. "I'll have to make sure though! Shadow I want you to find Tails, and try to help him remember his past when he got here! While I try to figure out what went on in the Ark."

"Ok Doctor, messa..."

"Not now Shadow, give him time to go over the files as well, a week... then go after him! until then you've got free time." Doctor Eggman said, and watched as Shadow walked out the door confused as to what to do.

Sifting through his pockets, Eggman pulled a cotton swab out of a small plastic cylinder, then dabbed a spot of blood on the ground, and proceeded to his analyser.

It didn't really surprise him when it went off instantly, signalling it was blood from a Mobian fox.
