"The energy is very high here..." Tails mutters to himself as he was staring down at his energy radar while standing in front of an old abandon base that belonged to Doctor Eggman.A few hours earlier, Tails was casually tinkering with the energy radar as a way to make the signal more powerful as well as hopefully make it act as an emerald tracker. But in the middle of tinkering it, the radar suddenly went active before showing him a dot on a map catching him by surprise. Tails only have a moment to think about it before quickly taking the radar and soon took off towards where the dot was located.Looking around, Tails swallowed down his nervousness before finally entering the abandon base, tightly gripping the radar in hand. Luckily the lights in the base was working enough for Tails to see where he was heading to while keeping an eye on the radar, finding himself getting closer to the dot. During the wall, Tails had been trying to figure out what was on the other end of the signal and the most recent thought was that he hoped that it wasn't anything dangerous since he did follow the signal without telling Sonic.Soon enough the fox found himself standing in front of a large door which had the sign 'Discarded', which made his ears flicker downwards a bit. 'I hope its nothing dangerous....' he thought before taking a deep breath and slowly started to open the door causing it to let out a small creek, making the fur stand up a bit. Carefully walking passed the discarded and dangerous looking junk, Tails soon looked down at the radar only to find himself literally next to it causing him to look back up and looked around. Soon his eyes caught sight of something glowing and once he turned his full attention, he saw that it was a glowing red orb, though it was faintly glowing, and looking like it was connected to a sort of doll from what he could see in the dark. Swiftly putting the radar in the bag that he brought along, Tails crouch down in front of the shadowy figure, reached towards it and picked it up, feeling a soft texture underneath his fingers and once he lifted up into the light, Tails was taken by surprise to find himself holding up a plush version of himself.Tilting his head, Tails could see how a bit life-like the doll and could feel the tough metal underneath the soft wool. He was confused for the moment by why Eggman would create this before thinking that if he created Metal Sonic, the Doctor might have thought to create a copy of the fox himself to fight against."Help....me..."Tails nearly jumped in fright when he heard a weak voice coming from the doll and soon saw the eyes was letting out a weak glow. The fox never thought that the look-a-like was different from the other creations and soon made up his mind before pulling the doll close to his chest."I'm here now" Tails softly comfort the doll as he was leaving the base.
