*Chapter 1: The Black Hole*

Up in the Space Colony ARK, there was a little 12 year old girl with blonde hair running down the corridors of the colony with her mobian hedgehog friend. They stop running and caught their breath.

"Shadow..." The girl breathed. "I think we lost that mean woman back there. Are you okay?" The black hedgehog nodded.

"Yeah. I'm fine. But, are you okay, Maria?" He asked. "She look like she is about to hurt you. Good thing I was there to help you."

"Yes. She tried to." Maria said. "C'mon. We gotta go find my grandfather and tell him about this." Shadow nodded in agreement. So the two friends went down the rest of the hall to get to the lab to find the professor of this place, Professor Gerald.

An elder woman stormed down the halls with a mean look on her face. She had silver short hair, wearing a striped dress, and small glasses. She happened to be the lady that Shadow and Maria are running from. She had a suitcase in her hand.

"Ah, Mrs. Cooper!" A voice called from behind. "Did you enjoy the Space Colony ARK so far?" The woman turned to the old man, Professor Gerald, staring at him with a glare. Gerald noticed a suitcase in Mrs. Cooper's hand. "You're leaving? Why?" He asked.

"I've had it in this place, professor!" Mrs. Cooper yelled. "Your granddaughter touched my $1,000 necklace and broke it to pieces! Then your creation came in and bit my hand!"

"Ohh dear... I am very sorry about this. But I really assure you that my granddaughter didn't mean to break anything that means you anything, and Shadow...he would never-" Gerald started.

"I'm sure they don't mean no harm! But, I am leaving this place. Good day, Professor Gerald." Mrs. Cooper said and walked away. Gerald sighed and turned back where he came from. He had to find Maria and Shadow somewhere in the colony.

Later that afternoon in space, Maria is in the room alone with her grandfather, telling him what happened with Mrs. Cooper. Maria didn't mean to touch the necklace that costs a fortune and she accidently pulled it the jewel off of it. Mrs. Cooper was about to strike her, but Shadow came in and bit her hand instead of attacking her or fight her with violence. Gerald stares at his granddaughter in concern.

"Maria, you know better than that. She is a very strict woman." He told her. "But, you need to stay out of anyone's belongings."

"I'm sorry, grandpa. I didn't mean to do that. It's just that...that necklace was so beautiful." Maria said. "I couldn't help it, really." Gerald chuckled a little. Maria smiled at him.

"You really should stay out of trouble, Maria." He told her. "Just swear to me that you will never get into trouble again." Maria nodded at him.

"I swear." She said. But, the alarms go off suddenly, and the colony started to shake. Maria gasped and grabbed Gerald's arm. "What's happening?!" She asked.

"I-I don't know!" Gerald replied. He looked out the door and see some researchers running up and down the halls, yelling in alarm. The thing that Gerald notices is that the whole colony is moving back from the Earth's distance!

"It's the black hole! It appeared out of nowhere and it's going to suck us in!" A man in a lab coat yelled. "We have to go to the shuttles and leave now!" He and the rest of the researchers are going to the shuttle room to escape. Gerald dragged Maria down to the hallway, following the researchers. Just as they get close to their shuttle, Maria turned her head back, noticing that Shadow isn't with them at all. She pulled away from Gerald's grasp and about to leave.

"Maria! Come back here!" Gerald yelled.

"I can't leave without Shadow!" Maria yelled. "He's somewhere in the ARK, and I have to find him!" So Maria ran out of the room, hearing her grandfather calling out her name. Gerald is about to go after her, but he was pulled back by his lab partners.

"Maria! No! Come back!" Gerald cried out, reaching out, but he was pulled inside the shuttle. "My granddaughter is out there!"

"We have to go! Our lives are at risk!" One of the researchers said.

Maria ran down the halls to get to her room. She opened the door and found Shadow standing in front of the window, staring at the black hole that is drawing near. Maria told Shadow that they have to get out of this place. Then, they noticed that their half of the colony side is broke in half! Maria opened the door and saw the other half of the ARK is ahead of them.

"Oh no!" Maria yelled. "We're apart of it!" Shadow turned back to the window, and the black hole is closer. If only he had a Chaos Emerald, he will warp him and Maria out of this dangerous situation. The half of the ARK is been sucked into the black hole, and it started to spin. Maria and Shadow were screaming as they spin around and around in the black hole. But not for long... The half of the colony started to fall. It landed by make a big crash.
Shadow groaned and got up. He is rubbing his head. Maria was on her bed, unharmed after the landing. They lived after being sucked into the black hole. Shadow came to her.

"Are you alright, Maria?" He asked. Maria nodded. "We're alive. But...where are we?"

"I...don't know." Maria replied, also confused as Shadow is right now. The window was blocked by bark from the outside. Confused, Maria opened her door and a bright sunlight hits her face. Shadow made a awe look. He came beside Maria looking what she was seeing right now. They are not in space anymore...
