Everyone was at Rose's house trying to calm down. Sonic was sitting on Rose's bed and the rest were enthier standing or sitting in chairs.
Shadow then look at Maria and went up to her.
"Do you think you can tell us what happen"Shadow ask.
"Sure"Maria said.
"Okay how about why your here"Silver ask.
"Mephiles let me go"Maria said.
"Wait, what"Rose and everyone was confused.
"Yeah, he said he didn't need me anymore so he let me go and got rid of my powers"Maria said.
"He didn't need you for very long. Then do you know who the scarlet killer is"Shadow ask.
"I do"Maria frowned.
"Who is she"Silver ask.
"I am the scarlet killer"Maria said.
Everyone was shocked of what they heard.
"Yo-you killed all those poeple"Rose ask.
"I didn't want to. Mephiles made me do it. He said if I was going to help him I would need to get use to hurting and killing billions of people"Maria cried. "He made me kill so many, I didn't want to but over time I got use to it. I killed so many innocent lives that I can't look at my self the same"Maria cried into her hands. Shadow rub her back for comfert. Maria look at him.
"It's okay. You didn't want, Mephiles made you do this"Shadow said.
"Thanks"Maria smiled.
"So, i'm guessing Mephiles gave you my immortality"Shadow ask.
"That would explane when Elise chop Maria's head off she was still alive"Tails said.
"He did, because I'm still human so Mephiles stole it to give to me so I can work with him for many centurys"Maria sob.
"Don't worry about. Besides you don't need to hury anyone anymore"Shadow smiled.
"Yeah, your right"Maria wiped away her tears.
Sonic look at his friends. "I'm sorry guys, Mephiles said something to me and i'm just stressed out. I'm so sorry"Sonic whispered.
"Don't worry Sonic. We forgive you"Rose smiled.
Maria then stood up.
"I'm going on a walk to clear my head"Maria smiled.
Elise then open Rose's door.
"Hey where were you I-"Elise was cut off when she saw Maria. "You"Elise whispered.
'Oh shit. She wasn't here when I explanied everything'Maria thought.
"Lo-"Maria was cut when Elise kicked her.
"MARIA"Shadow yelled.
"Ouch"Maria groan and Shadow grab her by the shoulders.
"Why are you here"Elise ask.

"We also stole some things from when the Solras project"Maria said.

"One day Mephiles said we could steel some things from project so one day me Mephiles found the lab that broke down and stole some tings that still work even after the project became a failer"Maria said.
"Why"Elise ask.
"Because Mephiles needed one to do some reseach but sometimes when he wasn't around I go on it and go on youtube"Maria smriked.
"Smart girl"Rose smriked.
"So what should we do"Yuuki ask.
"Well after the day we just had we could use rest. There's somewhere near the castle that I tend to go to when I didn't want to be around with Mephiles"Maria smiled.
"So, we have a hideout of our own and know where Mephiles is, What about the emeralds"Elise ask.
"Mephiles hid them away from me just in case So I don't know"Maria frowned.
"Well at least we got a good start. We just need to go to Soleanna"Knuckles smiled.
"My privet jet is still at the airport we can go when ever"Elise said.

"Do not worry anyone the killer is gone"Elise smiled knowing Maria won't kill anyone any more.
"So I guess we could get some supples"Sonic ask.
"I guess"Shadow said.
"Like food and water"Tails ask.
"Maybe some weapons to"Knuckles suggested.
"Don't worry I brought some guns"Shadow said while carrying a green heavy looking bag.
"Is that why you went to gun"Rouge ask.
"To gather some weapons yes"SHadow said.
"Geez, All i brought was my hammer"Amy said.
Elise was finally done talking to her kingdom and said "We better go before it's to late"Elise said.
"Yeah"Maria smiled. "Follow me"Maria smiled.

"Okay all we need to do now is get to the bottom of the cilff"Maria smiled.
"Geez you trying to kill us"Rose joked considering there was no way to get to the bottom of the cilff.
"Well I was immortal so I could just jump and wouldn't be dead"Maria frowned.
