Chapter 4
A/N: Sorry for the long wait. Got grounded, yo. u.u Still am but my dad thinks its work cause "writing stories to the world". Man, he's brainless. And please forgive the typos. To error is human after all.
Eggman walked across his lab in complete distress. The robots watched as he walked back and forth. If he walked any longer, he'd start a dent in the floor.
Just when it looked like he'd loose a good ten poundes, Maria walked through the doorway, holding a big bag of money. Eggman stopped running and turned to face Maria, "Good job."
"Thanks," she giggled erriely, "Besides getting you all this green paper, I actually ran into what I really wanted again." She handed the bag over to Eggman.
"And what's that?" he asked, not really paying any attention, except to his money.
"Shadow," the girl did a childish twirl, "He's smitten already. Couldn't keep his eyes off me! Too busy staring at me to help his OWN lover." she went to sit on a lab stool. "Breaking him is going to be so much fun."
Being the super-intelligent scientist he is, the Doctor had already counted the money and robots were transporting it to secret valuts. "Why do you hate Shadow?" Eggman asked.
Maria lowered her eyes, "Well...its a short story."
"Don't you mean long?"
"Oh, short for him, very long for me." She suddenly laughed and crossed her legs. "The story starts 51 years ago..."
FLASHBACK--SORRY I KNOW PPL HATE THESE THINGS
Professor Gerald Robotnik stood back and looked apon his creation for the first time in its living state. The girl blinked owlishly up at him with rub-red eyes. "Perfect," he whimpered. Then he leaned down, "What's your name, little one?"
"Maria," the girl stated and pouted cutely, "I'm NOT little."
The Professor laughed, "Of course your not. Your big and strong." he suddenly put his hand on top of her head of long black hair, "What's your favorite pet, Maria? Cats? Dogs?"
"None of those." Maria suddenly giggled, "I like hedgehogs." (A/N: Go figure rolls eyes)
"Hedgehogs?" The Professor blinked, "As you wish."
"As I wish what?" Maria asked.
"Well, I'll make you a pet. He'll be your friend."
"Maria clapped her hands and grinned, "WOW!"
"Yes," the Professor said. He walked over to the computer and pushed a button on the keyboard. A random disc flew from nowhere, straight at Maria. She caught it instantly, blinking.
"Where'd that come from?" She asked.
"You have extraordinary senses, Maria. You have a faster reflex that average humans, flexible, and strong. But I left you with a childish mind as to even out the humanity in you. I don't want you to go abusing those skills."
What the Professor didn't know was that such childish minds had a flaw; curiousity. Maria got into everything, and with her powers, she rarely got caught. By the time she was technically a year old, Maria had matured to that of a 18 year old. On the outside she looked about 12 or 13. On the inside, she was an adult."
Soon, the Professor finished making Maria's companion. She stared into the glass container at the floating being, face pressed against the glass. "He's perfect."
"His name is Shadow. He's just like you; same abilities and all. He shall be a great companion throughout your life." The Professor explained.
"Like a best friend?"
The Professor nodded.
FLASHBACK END YAAY!
"What the Professor didn't tell me was he didn't think I was flawless. After seeing how innocent and pure Shadow was, he saw right through my plan nof bewitching him." Maria explained, standing up. "He created the second and put me into storage. He couldn't completely left me go, but now that he's dead, I bet he wishes he had." her eyes narrowed.
Doctor Eggman and and his robots were crying. "What an emotional story! A young girl, betrayed by her creator and her best friend!"
Maria glared at him and the robots, "You got your money. Now leave me alone."
"Yes, well, your a better thief than I thought. Your 10 times better than even seasoned criminals." The doctor ranted, "I may need your services again."
"Fine. As long as he shows up again and I can see that look he gave me. Again and again and again..." Maria left the room, cackling.
"Man, that kid has problems." one robot said to its creator.
Eggman nodded in agreement.
Amy and Tails parted. They stared at each other for a moment.
"Tails?" Amy said.
"Amy," Tails responded, "I like you alot, you know."
Amy looked down. "Tails, don't." She sighed, "I can't like you like that. Your so much younger than me."
"But-" Tails started. But Amy was already standing up.
"I'm sorry. Even if Sonic is gay, I still love him. I know I can't do for him what I want to do but, I guess I do something for him." She smiled somberly, "What I'm around, he just seems kind of relaxed. Even though he's trying to run away half the time. I can't take that away from him."
Tails was angry now. "But, he'll never love you the way I love you! You'll be like a third wheel! That no way to live!"
Amy looked up at the blue sky; so dear, so high up in the air, away from the pollution of the city. "There's something about Soniku that attracts us all to him. Its the way he thinks, what he believes in. How he carries himself."
Tails looked down. Everytime he was around the blue hedgehog, he did feel weird. His anger diminished.
"And if I'm not what he wants, I still want him to be happy." Amy looked back down at Tails, "And I just want to be by his side, always."
"I understand."
"I'm sorry, Tails." Amy repeated, "But Fiona likes you."
"She does?" Tails blushed.
"Don't tell me you haven't noticed." Amy laughed, "You should confront her. You two look cute together."
"Okay, lets go back to the picnic." Tails said, holding out his hand so Amy could help him up.
And that day, Amy got a little more mature, and Tails got a better look of the world around him. Unfortunately, Knuckles got nothing in return but temporary bladness.
"I'm on FIRE!" he cried, running across the island, right off the side of it.
Rouge blinked. "Knuckles?" she walked over to the side of the island. "Knuckles?" no response.
Later that night, Sonic and Shadow sat in bed, tired from the days events. At the bank and in bed. Ho ho ho! the author is perverted. Sorry about that.
Shadow had spooned into Sonic and they lay there, Shadow at peace with the world around him. Well, except for one being...
The same thing was on Sonic's mind as well, "Shadow, did you know that girl that robbed the bank?"
Shadow blinked. What should he say? What would he do? He closed his eyes and sighed inwardly, "Yes." he responded, "She was another one of Professor Gerald Robonik's creations. Unfortunately, one of the more violent ones."
"What's her name?" Sonic asked.
"Remember Maria? That girl was her earlier model."
Maria I?"
"Yes."
"Why do you think she was robbing a bank?"
"I don't know what an android would do with money..."
"Do you remember what you said after we destroyed the Final Hazard?"
The words echoed through Shadow's mind. A promise he wasn't sure he could fulfill. "I have to destroy her She's out for vengence against a man that is no longer living."
"Like you once was?" Sonic said boldly.
Shadow didn't answer. In a way, all of the Professor's creations deserved revenge for what happened to them. And in a way, we humans deserve to die for trying to do God's will in the first place. But then again, for all the wrong creations themselves have done, they deserve to die too. It was this last part that Shadow was having trouble with.
End of Chapter 4
That last part sounded kinda Kill Bill-ish. And sorry about the flashback. I don't do them well and blah...there might just be one more but that's IT. I mean, flashbacks, not chapters. Hehee...oh yeah, review and check me out on sonadow.com under the name Blu Evermind. Oh yeah, archiving! I might do a special fic over there that will only be over there so that's the only way you can read it. Blah blah blah...
