Chapter 1: the discovery
After Sonic and friends defeated Metal Sonic and saved the world, the four teams went their separate ways and return home. Team Sonic and Rose went back to Station Square, the Chaotix went back home and Shadow decided to go with Rouge and Omega. The three were running through the desert. Awhile back, a news report stated that the Space Colony Ark has landed in the desert, so team Dark went to the desert to check it out.
"Who would have thought the Ark landed here?" said Rouge.
flashback
Somewhere in Station Square, there was a news report was showing on a TV.
"This just in. the space colony ark, created by Gerald Robotnik, has mysterily landed on Mobius. Reserchers say that the whole ship was completely undamage," said the reporter.
"Shadow, we should check it out," said Rouge.
"Why," said Shadow.
"beacuse we can find some clues to gain your memories back," said Rouge.
"All right, let's go," said Shadow.
Flashback ended
"You said the Ark, were I born there?" said Shadow.
"Yes, that's where it all began for you," said Rouge.
"Where it all began," said Shadow.
Shadow really wanted to know who he was and why he can't remember. Shadow has been having flashes of memories of his past. Why does this memory never get clearer and what is the promise that made. A day ago, he finally remembers his old friend, Maria. A promise, what was it? Shadow is felling that what Dr Eggman said was right, he has no past to remember. No. Eggman's wrong, he has a past to remember and he'll find it on the ark. During their running through the desert, Omega detected the Ark.
"Spaceship detected," said Omega.
There by a canyon was the space colony ark, looking undamaged.
Team Dark made it in front of the entrance to the Ark. Rouge open the door and Shadow and Omega walk in, with Rouge at their heels. The ark looks the same since Sonic and Friends save the world.
"Remember anything, Shadow?" said Rouge.
"A little," said Shadow.
As they continued walking, Shadow was deep in thought.
"Why, why my memories are hard to come back. Maria, Professor Gerald, and Sonic and everyone; they're in my memory, but are they real or fake?" Shadow thought.
Shadow, Rouge, and Omega came across a locked room.
"This room can't be open without a code, let's try Maria," said Rouge, typing the code in.
The code was correct and the door was open. Team Dark went inside to exclaiming the room. The light's were dimmed and was going to go out. The room has two things; the Machine was untouched for many years. The next object was a capsule, and it was still working. When Rouge walks up to it, she was gasps at what was in it.
"Shadow, look at this," said Rouge.
Shadow looks at what's inside and he was shock to. There inside the capsule was someone nobody knows was still in the ark… Maria Robotnik. Maria looked exactly how she was 50 years ago. She was wearing a blue dress and had blond hair; with a blue hair band. It look like she was sleeping peacefully.
"Maria," it was all Shadow could say.
Omega, who didn't come up to his friends, saw a video tape on the ground. He saw a TV and places the tape into a Video player. The video began to play, and Gerald Robotnik appeared on screen.
"Hello, if Shadow or anyone is watching this, then I am gone or died. This capsule beside you holds my granddaughter, Maria. After Maria was shot by the G.U.N, I had time to take Maria's body to this room and place her in this pod. This Machine has to the power to bring someone back to life, but it needs the chaos Emeralds. Shadow, if you are watching this, I'm sorry for all those people who lost lives on the ark and Maria. The reason I created you, I can't tell you on this tape. Shadow, Maria was all you and I had left, please bring her back," said Gerald Robotnik.
The video ended and Rouge was staring at Shadow with a worried look on her face. Gerald Robotnik saved Maria's body and placed it and wants Shadow to revive her, should they?
"Shadow, don't you want to see your friend again," said Rouge.
Shadow was deep in thought.
"Maria was my friend, and she is connecting to my memory," Shadow smiles and said, "Let's bring her back,"
"Okay, but Shadow we have a problem. We don't have any of the emeralds, and they scattered after Sonic and friends defeated Metal Sonic. If we're going to activate this machine and save Maria, we need Sonic and his friends help," said Rouge.
Shadow begins to leave the room as he says, "Come on, let's go," said Shadow.
Team Dark left the room and the ark to search for Sonic and their friends and the Emeralds.
Michael: all right, this is my first chapter.
Vector: More chapters will come soon.
Cream: Michael doesn't own anything.
Big: see you later.
(One more thing, the timeline between this story and my characters appear are important because if you know why Sonia and Amic are born 'cause Sonic and Amy were married).
