The Maria Files

Author's Note: Oh my god. Awful week. I hope it doesn't effect the story. I haven't worked on it since my cpu went haywire since last week, so yeah. Anyway. I've been thinking about making longer entries. And then I was like, Hey, they don't know how many entries in a file! So I decided to tell you! I know, I'm a genius. Each file has ten entries. Each file has ONE main character. For example, Sonata No Kokoro's main character is Shadow. Shadow could be repeated as the main character in the next files…Yeah, I know, I have no life. But you know what? I'm writing the damned story!

Oh darn. Now I have to change the rating of this story… Okay, this is now a Pg-13 story!Nah, it's G rated until I put romance or something in it… Oh god this is the longest author's note EVER. I give my self a thumbs up. Okay. On with our newest entry.

File 1- Sonata no Kokoro (Nobody Knows Your Heart)

Entry 3- Releasing Energy


Shadow hurried to the Professor's Lab. If he could shut off the thing that was causing the energy misflow, would the lights turn on? Would the thing inside shut off for good? And just what was that thing anyway?

His shoes clanked against the hallway's dark metal floor. If he hurried, there would be enough energy in the whole ship to last a couple more years. He hoped he wouldn't be too late….

The door to the Professor's Lab! Password: MA-RI-A and Shadow was in. He hadn't been in there for a while. The Professor never did have a sense of cleanliness. Shadow remembered how messy the room always was…but looking at it now…it was too new. The lights, though on, were dim, and Shadow saw a machine. It was dark and gloomy looking, as Shadow moved closer he noticed the window was tinted darkly as well.

A Panel, covered in buttons, stood beside the machine. Several blinked and flashed, some weren't blinking at all. Shadow didn't know what to press. He stared at the buttons and sighed. What a problem…

Finally, Shadow pushed a rapidly blinking green button. The Machine made a creaking noise, and suddenly, the panel went dark. The lights flickered off and Shadow was left standing in darkness. He stood, staring at where the machine was, not blinking. The Machine kept making strange noises, as if it was about to explode or something.

The lights turned back on in a brilliant flash. Shadow blinked, rubbed his eyes and blinked some more.

"What the…" He said, shading his eyes to look up at the lights. But they weren't on…No…it was the machine that had made such a brilliant flash!

Shadow stepped backwards cautiously. The machine shook gently, then with a tremendous lurch, it burst open-

And out came…
