Short notes SE Dr. Ivo made about the creatures that live in his home. He has actually made a whole book about all five of them and the very detailed scientific research he’s conducted on each of them.
TW? Character death. Wanted to put that just in case but also I did this fast so sorry if it look… sloppy 😭
Artic’s Spiral
For as long as he can remember, Artic (SE Tails) was always the brains of the bunch, even when their father was the one providing the gadgets. His brothers would listen to him as he explained how the gizmos worked whenever their father was too tired to do it himself. They would always ask him the questions even though the very man who made them was standing behind the young kit. He felt heard.
As he grew older he was allowed on small missions or gathering intel with Mr. Stone. It even got to the point their father, Dr. Ivo Robotnik, passed the mantle of making his brother’s and Shade’s gear to the young fox. His gadgets were unique and sleek. They complimented his brother’s and Shade’s style, and filled in for their weaknesses. He made them to help aid the treasure hunters and keep them safe. He was even given the task of upgrading and making new arms for Mach (SE Sonic). He felt needed.
Soon enough Mach and all his cockiness would get him hurt, and badly. This caused the kit to over think. Did his gadgets not do their job? Did he give them defective tools? How could one of his brothers get so hurt, when his devices were made to help prevent injury. He cried. He felt like he failed the one brother who relied on his tools and inventions the most.
“Woah! Hey now Snow, what’s up with the water works?” Mach would ask the kit after finally waking up to the Albino fox crying by his hospital bedside. His blue brother, ever the optimist calmed him down and explained that the fault was his and that he would be fine. They made a promise that day. Artic didn’t need to shed tears and Mach would always bounce back.
Some years later Mach broke his promise. He didn’t “bounce back” from his injuries, but that was fine. Artic was now the new CEO of E.G.G. Corp. and his engineering skills surpassed that of his father’s. To him his brother wasn’t gone, not yet. He could fix this, he could fix his brother.
Ivo ended up sleeping at his desk that day as he refused to move or wake the kit. 8 years ago the trio were physically going to school until one specific kid kept skipping grades.
