Memory Lane

Stop Five: Coming

Tails looked at the ground below him and his friends as he flew in his trusty plane the Tornado, he gripped the steering tightly as his mind began to think about all of the many ways conditions they could find Y/N in.

'She could be hurt... or- or have developed amnesia! Or worse she might not even be...'

He shook his head dismissing the thought, he had to stay positive. He returned his gaze to the direction of where they were heading, he glanced to his left where Sonic was clutching tightly to the wing of the plane his trademark smirk on his muzzle with a determined glint in his eyes as he stared directly ahead as the plane flew flew onward through the calm blue skies.

Tails looked forward trying his best to look on the bright side, 'Don't worry Y/N... We're coming for you..' He thought, soon enough they were arriving to EggMan's base. It had taken Tails a little bit to find out where it was due to it always moving about after Sonic had last defeated him.

"Make sure we're not seen, we'll split up that way we can cover more ground. If anyone finds Y/N make sure to radio us and we'll meet up at the location she's at. Got it?" Tails said once again, causing Sonic to roll his eyes with a smirk.

"Don't worry buddy, we've gone over this plan about..."

"Fifteen times, or more." Muttered Knuckles earning a glare from Amy, she slapped his shoulder lightly.

"Tails has every right to be worried! This is his long lost sister we're talking about here!" She exclaimed loudly.

"Amy I appreciate you sticking up for me, but it's really important that we stay quiet. If we get caught this whole thing could go south a put Y/N in even more danger." He said urging them to stop arguing, Amy nodded in understanding but still shot knuckle a small glare.

"Everyone know where they're heading to look?" Sonic asked as he began to stretch his legs getting slightly impatient. He turned around looking at his friends, they nodded.

"Amy and Knuckles are looking through the north wing, and I'm searching through the back labs." Tails answered fiddling with his Miles Electric. He looked up from his device and looked at his friends. "Guys, thank you for doing this... It means a lot to me..." Tails said with a small smile on his muzzle.

The other three looked at each other then back at Tails, Amy's face softened and Sonic's smile grew. "No problem! It's the least we could do after all you've done for us over the years." Sonic replied as Amy nodded besides him.

"It's true, do you know how many times you saved Mister Reckless over here from nearly dying?" Knuckles said smirking at Sonic when he shot him a short glare. Tails smiled, he felt even more confident about finding his sister now.

"Well then," Sonic said gesturing to the base in front of them. "What are we waiting for?"

Shadow had Chaos Controlled the both of them to Tails workshop, he had been hoping to find at least Sonic or Tails so they could make sure that the girl was alright. He looked around the empty workshop with a frown present on his face, he had expected them to here. He glanced down at the sleeping fox in his arms, he knew he needed to find someone to take care of her. He looked around the empty workshop once more noticing that the Tornado wasn't parked in it's usual spot, "They must have went out again..." He muttered as he pulled out the chaos emerald and said his famous words.

He had decided to go to Vanilla's house, she seemed like the next best person to take care of the young fox until Shadow could find Sonic or Tails and let them know about her. Once he teleported right outside of the house he proceeded towards the door and knocked a few times, sure enough the door opened revealing Vanilla's young daughter; Cream. "Oh, Mister Shadow. It's nice to see you," She said then noticed the unconscious fox in his arms, her big brown eyes widened and she looked up at Shadow again. "I'll go get my mother, please come in." She opened the door wider as Shadow came in, "You can set her on the couch," Cream said as she closed the door behind him and rushed into the kitchen to get her mother. Shadow carefully laid the fox on the couch, he heard approaching footsteps and turned to see Vanilla come around the corner with Cream following close behind.

She gasped at the sight of the girl, "Oh my..., What happened?" She asked her brown eyes full of worry and concern.

"I found her in one of the doctors labs in stasis, I think she might have been one of his experiments." He looked down at her then back at the two rabbits, "Please take care of her until Sonic or Tails comes back, I want them to examine her just to be safe." He told them as he began to head back to the front door, before he left he turned to face them once more. "She might freak out when she comes to, warning you now..." He said then opened the door and left leaving the two rabbits dumbstruck and confused.

Cream turned her gaze from the door back to the unconscious girl, she walked over to her then looked at her mother with worried filled eyes. "Mommy? Is she going to be alright?" Cream asked softly, Vanilla approached the smaller rabbit and smiled warmly at her.

Vanilla looked at the sleeping fox then back at her child, "I'm sure she'll be fine sweetie, she only appears to be sleeping. Why don't you come help me make something for her to eat when she wakes up? I'm sure she'll be hungry." She suggested, Cream nodded and went to the kitchen while Vanilla took the fox upstairs and put in a bed so she would be more comfortable. She then went back downstairs to join her daughter in the kitchen.

Saying that Tails was annoyed was an understatement, he had gone through at least fifteen labs in search of his sister and he had came up empty. He sighed as he looked both ways before crossing the hall quickly to avoid being caught. He entered yet another lab and decided instead of doing searching the hard way he could easily hack into the computer's system and find out where Y/N was being held much faster. He looked around the lab to make sure it was safe before climbing on the chair to reach the keyboard, he had to stand up on the chair in order to be able to type properly. "Curse my height..." He grumbled as he struggled to stand up on the large chair, after he regained his balance he began to type away putting in multiple codes and numbers. And within a few minutes the computer flashed the images of multiple security cameras footages, Tails began to go through the latest footage hoping to find what he was looking for. Sure enough he found something, he looked at the date and realized that it was from around the time Y/N had been supposedly taken. The footage wasn't very good but he could clearly make out his sister struggling against her restraints, she bared her teeth as a figure came into view clearly growling at it.

"What did you do with my brother!?" She snarled and continue to pull against the chains that held her wrists to the wall. "Tell me!" She shouted when the figure didn't answer her. Tails felt his eyes burn slightly as tears began to once again form in the corner of them, just the sight of her still worrying about him despite her current situation really got to him.

"Take her to lab 65b8 but make sure she's properly restrained, I want to try something..." Tails recognized Eggman's voice as the figure spoke. Two large robots moved forward and grabbed Y/N by her arms as the chains released her wrists, she was then dragged out of sight of the cameras view.

Tails stared at the screen with glossy eyes lost in thought, he was brought out of the trance he seemed to be in when he heard his communicator go off. He jumped and fumbled with it, nearly dropping it before he managed to answer it, "Tails! You there? We haven't found anything on out end yet, any luck for you?" Amy's voice came through.

"Yeah, have you guys gone to lab 65b8 yet?"
