Chapter 2: CARRIE

(Later, At Gerald's Lab…)

Sonic & the others had made their way back to their home town. They immediately went to the lab of Gerald Robotnik, Maria & Eggman's Grandfather, as well as Shadow's creator, who had also been reborn a hedgehog as well as Maria. They had gone to his lab, to see what Eggman had done, resulting in the 'Creation' of this new Hedgebat: CARRIE.

They got the unconscious Carrie on a lab bed, they had to hook her up to some wires, to examine her genetic structure, & maybe even find out more about who or what she was. Shadow, Maria & Rouge stayed with Carrie every minute, they were extremely curious to know what Eggman had done to make her and where she got their most notable features from. Sonic was also curious about Carrie, feeling he knew that name from someone or somewhere before, as he waited with Knuckles, Silver and a Yellow hedgehog named Gage. Gage was also very curious about Carrie's name & origin, just as much as sonic.

Tails, Gerald & Omega were analysing DNA & Blood samples that had taken from Carrie's body also, for more ways to unravel this mystery…

They'd put the samples into a machine, connected to the main computer, built for analysing DNA & Blood types, to identify unknown figures, which was 95% complete…

"Guys, we got something." Tails said, as the machine completed the identifications.

"Ok Tails & Gerald, what's it say?" Sonic asked curiously as he & everyone looked at the large computer screen.

The data showed 5 types of DNA with the samples of Carrie, one being Carrie's DNA, but to their shock, Sonic, Shadow, Maria & Rouge's DNA came up on the screen, as 4 of them, their faces dropped with shock and surprise.

"Whoa, is this machine saying that Me, Shadow, Maria & rouge all share a kid?" Sonic joked in sarcastic and nervous tone.

"Quit the Jokes Sonic, This is serious!" Shadow said sternly to hush Sonic's humour.

"Of the things Eggman has done, He had to do this?!" Rouge growled.

"Shush guys, we don't want to wake & upset her…" Maria shushed Shadow and Rouge, as she gently stroked Carrie's hair.

"Sorry Maria…" Sonic, Shadow and rouge apologized quietly.

"What does it say about the Carrie DNA?" Sonic asked in concern again…

"Nothing Sonic, There's no record on who she is, or even where she came from..." Tails replied…

"Eggman has had the technology to create new life forms, but I'm not convinced that he started from scratch to create Carrie…" Shadow said in suspicion…

"You're right Shadow, Carrie's base DNA is showing signs of human DNA within…" Tails added…

"So Carrie was Human, like Maria & Professor…" Shadow gasped slightly…

"Yes Shadow, but from all records we looked at, There are no Mobian records of anyone named Carrie, who has been deceased recently…" Tails continued…

"Wait, so you're saying… Carrie was from another part of the earth?" Sonic gasped, as they all then gasped, realising what Eggman had done to a poor innocent human girl from another part of the world…

Carrie's Rose Pink eyelids began flickering, as she moaned and murmured, waking up with a headache…

"Hold up guys, she's waking up." Rouge said in alert.

"Huh? What's going on? Ow, my head…" Carrie murmured, as she slowly opened her Crimson Red eyelids, revealing her Sonic Blue eyes, matching Sonic's blue colour, as he too was curious...

"Take it easy there sweetheart, Tails, get her some water or something." Maria told tails.

"Got it." Tails said, as he got up to go get some water for Carrie.

Carrie then looked around, to see all those she saw from back in Eggman's base, she was nervous but wondered what was going on, and what & who these 'People' were…

"WH-Who are all of you?" Carrie asked in concern.

"Hey, that can wait sweety, let's get you better first." Maria said calmly, as she gently stroked Carrie Right cheek and hair, to keep her calm, as she looked back at Maria.

Carrie was very nervous, but despite that, she felt she could trust them, despite her having no memory of what happened to her before, it felt new to her…

"Carrie, I know this is too early to ask, but, do you remember anything, of who you are, or where you came from?" Maria asked calmly.

"N-Not really, other than my name…" Carrie replied nervously…

But as Carrie continued to think & hear her name, she heard numerous voices calling her name, along with horrible laughter, as horrifying images started blasting back into her mind, causing Carrie to grab her head, and fall back, screaming…

"Carrie! Carrie it's alright!" Maria said in worry, as she & Rouge tried to calm her down, with a little help from Silver's Psychokinetic powers.

After few minutes, Carrie calmed and broke down in tears, as Maria hugged her tight.

"Clearly, it was bad enough the fact Carrie has somehow died, with no memory of her past life, but now being brought from the dead like this has tripled it…" Rouge said sternly.

"Damn you Eggman!" Shadow growled, knowing Eggman had done to this poor child, and now she was now his child.

"Let's just focus on getting Carrie better, we can deal with Eggman some other time…" Maria said, to hush Shadow and Rouge's anger.

"Maria's right, we understand your anger against Ivo, but let's sort this new Robotnik out first." Gerald added in.

"Yeah I suppose…" Rouge said as she calmed down.

"Agreed…" Shadow said as he also calmed down too, trying to accept the fact he was now a father, to a crossbred child of him, Maria, Rouge,& Sonic as she looked at a calming down Carrie, also trying to think what he do to help her…
