The Origin of the Time Eater

Examining the subject

Tails is in the house lab. She is working with the analysis of Mephiles during the time she was locked up. He is sitting in his chair, with his feet on the table, tilting it, while holding some papers that he reads carefully. Suddenly a glow arises, Tails freaks out, lifts his feet towards him and causes the chair to fall, hitting the floor. The glow was Shadow with Mephiles, it was time to go to work and he had to leave the creature in the laboratory. Tails got up somewhat annoyed and embarrassed:

-Can't you just ring the bell? You know, like a normal person?

-I don't have time for your stupid things, I have to go to pick up Rouge and go to work. Here's your lab rat. –He said this while using the emerald to leave.

-But -Mephiles said confusedly -I'm not a rat, I'm supposed to be a pudu, right?

-Set phrase, somewhat offensive to the species, but it was just a set phrase.

-Oh okay.

-Then let's start, I have prepared several experiments to learn more about your composition, such as your resistance, body temperature, your ability to change shape ...

-I'm sorry to interrupt, but there is a question I have had for a few days, would you give me the pleasure of answering it?

-Of course

-Why are we doing this? I mean, why are you so interested in me in these aspects? How would that help my memory?

Tails began to tense up, his previous experiments were about reaction, trying to know the nature of the creature, he thought that since he could communicate with it he was already able to move towards the other fields, make sure to clarify his doubts and suspicions about it, Apart from a great scientific curiosity about how such an incredible creature could even exist before his eyes, her gaze was fixed on his, trying to understand that sudden silence and making the little scientist even more nervous.

-I... -Finally I try to answer -I think that if we get to know more about your "anatomy" we could find some similarity with some project or being and then know your origin more clearly.

-Do you have something in mind?

-What?! –He was stunned by the supposed innocent question of his guinea pig, he had to think something quickly before those analytical eyes noticed the insecurity –No, why? Do you have something in mind?

-Actually no...

-Well, let's go back to work to see what we find, okay? –Tails sounded concerned with all this conversation, his voice trembled a little, like trying to flee from an interrogation, trying not to be tortured in the process.

-Good.

The tests lasted several hours, Tails wrote down all the data collected on his computer, some were written by him, others by a full-body scanner that entered the data directly into his computer, he did several tests of each experiment, repeating as many times as possible , reviewing each result. Some still seemed impossible to him, a creature that gave such results could not exist.

When they were still doing the last tests, Sonic was already waiting in the room where they met before with the rest of their friends, waiting for the results, worried about what could happen and attentive to any calls that the minor could make. Before they knew it, it was 7 in the afternoon, Shadow came back using the emerald, he was in front of the door where they do the tests, Sonic noticed his presence and stopped him before he moved the door handle.

-They haven't finished yet. -He said while grabbing his arm to pull him away from his previous action. Shadow whirled around, forcing Sonic to release him.
