Note: Sorry I took so long.

A Prisoner in the Past

The Ultimate Mistake

===========================================================================

It had been three days since Created Creature exploded. Sonic and Tails were inside of Tails's Workshop, trying to build a time machine. "Um…would you mind explaining the plan one more time to me? Please?"

Tails sighed. "When we were thrown off by the explosion, didn't ya notice something? Created Creature was not dismembered in any way! This means that, for once, Boiled Egg is too powerful. According to my calculations-" "Get to the point Tails!" Sonic said, dazzled.

"Fine, fine, grumpo. Basically we would need us, Knuckles, Tikal, Rouge, etc. to help! That, and including Shadow for maximum strength. However, Shadow is STILL on vacation in Ark. How he could take a vacation there, I do not know. Remember last time we interrupted his vacation in the refrigerator? I don't even want to talk about it. So now, using my almost finished time machine, we will go back to 1952 in Ark. We will get that Shadow to help us defeat Created Creature. Any questions?" By this time Sonic had fallen asleep. "Hm, you would make a nice specimen. You just go ahead and sleep. I'll finish this thing BY MYSELF!" Sonic did not wake up.

A few hours later…

"Hey Sonic wake up."

"UHH. My brain is all itchy."

"Can you guess why?"

"Hhhhmmm…hey! I know the plan!"

"I programmed it into your brain. Come on wake up, its ready. Did you ever know I like eggs?" With that, they both step into the time machine, "Tail." A huge blinding flash came about, and within seconds they inside the Space Colony Ark. It look much newer than the last time they had seen the to-be-abanded place.

"I think I hear Shadow." Sonic said, listening to the muffled voice of a certain black hedgehog. When they crept closer, they could make out something like this: "Yo ho yo ho a pirates life for me." They could also hear Maria singing along.

"Come on, lets go." Tails said nervously. As soon as they took another step, what look like about 50 robot s dropped down from the ceiling.

"Here, take this!" Tails said yelling over the noise. He threw a pistol to Sonic.

"What are these for!" Sonic screamed, catching the gun.

"Use it to defend yourself! We might not have to fight them in the future!" Tails started shooting all over the place. "And the best thing is, we have unlimited ammo!" "Cool!" Sonic replied, starting the gunfight.

Meanwhile, in the next room…

"…And really bad eggs. Drink up me hearties yo ho!" Shadow was singing for Maria, who said she loved his singing. "You should get your own CD!" she said, clapping her hands. "Thanks! Okay, here is another one. A ME O YA CLARA WA FEX FAQYEX YA NOMSD-" Shadow boomed in an extremely deep voice.

"Wait. I think I hear something. I'll go check it out."

"No. I'll go with you."

"Well…okay. Come on."

Back in the next room…

Sonic and Tails had destroyed almost all the robots. There was only one left. "Do you mind if I do this one?" Tails asked.

"Go ahead."

"Thanks!" Tails shot at the robot. It was all just a big blur (Not a blue one.) The robot jumped out of the way. "Oops."

Tails aimed at the robot, which was standing right in front of a door. At the same exact time Tails pulled the trigger, the one and only Maria came out of the door.

The bullet went right through the robot and shot Maria.
