Sonic was on of his runs when he saw some sort of isolation pod.
"What's that? Could it be one of Tails' inventions?" Sonic asked
Sonic stopped to look at the pod. He was shocked to see that there was girl inside it.
"She looks like she's around Chris' age" Sonic said
He then saw that there was some sort of computer on it. He assumed that this was would open it.
"Better call Tails. It there's anyone that can open this hatch then it would be him.
Tails was in the X-tornado looking for Sonic. He wanted to look for one of the chaos emeralds with him. He then got a call and saw that it was Sonic who was calling.
"Yo, Tails" Sonic said
"Sonic, where are you?" Tails asked
"I'm at Mystic Ruin. I need you to get over here, there's something that only you can do here" Sonic said
Tails was puzzled. He was always happy to lend Sonic a helping hand but for him to call and ask for his help was unusual.
"All right, I'll be right there" Tails said
Tails made to Mystic ruin in 2 minutes. Tails saw that Sonic was near some kind of pod.
"Sonic!" Tails said
"Yo Tails, thanks for coming" Sonic said
"What did you need me for?" Tails asked
"Well I was running here in the jungle and I came across this pod and I thought it was one of your gadgets at first, but when I looked at it I saw that there was young girl inside it" Sonic said
"A young girl?" Tails said
"Have a look for yourself" Sonic said
Tails went over towards the pod and saw that there was actually a young girl in it.
"And you just came across this?" Tails asked
"Yeah, must've been well hidden behind some bushes. Guess the bushes or whatever was covering it wilted since I ran across this jungle hundreds of time and have never seen this pod even once until today" Sonic said
Tails knew that there was a possibility of that happening.
"Any way do you think you can try to hack into this system to get it to open?" Sonic asked
"I can try" Tails said
Tails got to work to try to get the pod to open.
"Seems like the pod can only open with a password" Tails said
"A password huh? You mean like open sesame?" Sonic asked
"I don't think it that's kind of password, Sonic" Tails said
"Well then I'm out of ideas" Sonic said
"I should be able to hack into the system and see what the password is" Tails said
"All right, do you're thing little buddy" Sonic said
Tails nodded and got to work. It took a while be he managed to finally hack into and saw what the password was.
"Got it, the password is Maria" Tails said
"Maria? So someone's name is the password?" Sonic asked
"Looks like it" Tails said
"Well, let's pry this bad boy open" Sonic said
Sonic went over to the keypad and typed in the password. It worked and the pod opened. The boys then looked at her and saw that she was still breathing.
"She's alive" Tails said
Sonic then saw that there was a blood wound on her side.
"Look Tails, she's hurt" Sonic said
"We need to get some medical treatment" Tails said
"Let's go to your workshop. It's closest" Sonic said
"Right let's go" Tails said
The flew the X-tornado to his workshop.
The treated the girl and Tails saw that there was some sort of disease in her. So he sent his tiny medical bots to get rid of it and it worked.
The young girl groaned and opened her eyes. She saw that she was in some kind of workshop.
"Where am I?" She asked
Her vision was still blurry but she saw that shape of a hedgehog. She got excited and assumed it was a friend of hers.
She winced at a pain that she felt at her side. She ignored it and ran over towards the hedgehog.
Sonic was talking to Tails about the girl when he felt a pair of arms wrap around him.
"Shadow! I'm so happy that you're okay!" The girl said
Tails saw that the girl they had treated was awake.
"Hey! What are you doing?! Get off?!" Sonic said
The young girl heard his voice and realized that this voice didn't sound anything like Shadow. She let go and her vision got clearer. She now got a good look at the hedgehog in front of her. He was a blue hedgehog with green eyes. He was wearing white gloves and white and red tennis shoes.
She looked at the person next to him. He was a golden two tailed fox. He had blue eyes. He was also wearing gloves and red and white shoes.
"You're not Shadow" The girl said
"No I'm not. I'm Sonic, Sonic the hedgehog" Sonic said
"And I'm Miles Prower, but please call me Tails" Tails said
"It's nice to meet you Sonic and Tails, my name is Maria" Maria said
The two of them were surprised to hear that her name was the password that got her out of that pod.
"Do you two know where I am?" Maria asked
"You're in my workshop" Tails said
"Workshop?" Maria asked
"Right, I found you inside a pod and called my buddy here to help me get it open. You were trapped in that pod for who knows how long" Sonic said
Maria was stunned to hear that. The last thing she remembers was getting shot by soldier aboard the ARK when she sent Shadow down to earth. They probably didn't know anything about it so she decided to keep that part a secret.
"Right, thanks for helping me out" Maria said
"How did you get in there?" Tails asked
"I'm not sure. Most of my memories are a bit hazy" Maria said
That wasn't a complete lie, but it wasn't the complete truth.
"Well what matters now is that your safe" Sonic said
"We should introduce to our friends" Tails said
"Friends?" Maria said
"Right come on" Sonic said
Maria followed them to some type of garage and saw an advanced airplane.
"Whoa" Maria said
"Do you like it? It's called the X-tornado" Tails said
"It's amazing" Maria said
"Thank Tails, because he's the one who built it" Sonic said
"You built this all by yourself, Tails?" Maria asked
"Well yeah, but the tornado was originally Sonic's plane" Tails said
"This used to be yours?" Maria asked
"Yeah, but it didn't look like this when I had it" Sonic said
Sonic then brought out a picture and saw that what the plane originally looked like. It looked like an old red plane that had a propeller on the front.
"I eventually gave the tornado Tails since he's a better pilot than I am" Sonic said
Maria was amazed by this story. Maria and Tails got in. The young blond noticed that the blue blur was standing on the wing of the plane.
"Getting ready for takeoff" Tails said
"Wait Tails, Sonic is still out there" Maria said
"Don't worry, Maria, Sonic prefers to stay out there anyway" Tails said
"But he could fall off" Maria said
"He won't, he has very good balance" Tails said
Maria was still worried about Sonic, but there's nothing she could say that would change his mind. The tornado took off and Maria was surprised to see that Sonic was still on the wing.
They eventually landed the plane near a mansion.
"A mansion?" Maria asked
"Yup, a friend of ours has wealthy parents and he's letting us stay here" Tails said
The blonde then saw a light pink rabbit wearing a pink dress running towards them. She was being followed by a pink hedgehog wearing a red dress.
"Sonic!" The pink hedgehog yelled
"Gotta go!" Sonic said
Sonic ran away. Maria was left speechless by his speed.
"He's probably faster than Shadow" Maria thought
"Sonic, get back here!" The girl yelled
The pink hedgehog then noticed the blond girl.
"Who are you?" The pink hedgehog
Maria got a little scared. This girl looked like the aggressive type and from her tone, she could tell that she could tell that she also had a temper.
"I'm Maria" Maria asked
"We found her in a pod and got her out" Tails said
"Well, nice to meet you. I'm Amy Rose, Sonic's girlfriend" Amy said
"No, she's not" Sonic said
Sonic came back to confirm the truth.
"Nice to meet, Miss Maria, I'm Cream the rabbit and this Chao next to me is Cheese" Cream said
"Chao!" Cheese said
Chris then showed up.
He heard everything and introduced himself.
"I'm Chris nice to meet you Maria" Chris said
Maria was allowed to stay there since she didn't have anywhere else to stay. What she didn't know was that she would be reunited with an old friend.
