AN: Anything that's spelled horribly wrong…I'm sorry. Due to broken wrist, typing is not at my best right now:

Chapter Five

The garage was 3kms away from the house in a south easterly direction from the house, facing towards the ocean. Palm trees shading the area that looked like a runway.

"This place is huge," Maria awed. The building itself was triple the size of the house at which she was currently taking over the couch. Tails looked up at the girl.

"Told you it was awesome, and this isn't even the best part yet," Tails said smiling as he opened the door to the garage and grabbed some tools and walked off somewhere. As Maria stepped into the garage she looked up at the giant machinery.

"That's a plane," Maria gawked. Tails, who was now currently on the wing of the brightly blue and yellow plane looked down at her.

"Yeah this is the Tornado Mach 2, completely my design."

"What happen to Mach 1?"

"We don't talk about it what happened to the Tornado Mach 1."

Maria whipped around to see Sonic standing there at the door. The hint of un trust in his voice, his eyes narrowed at the girl, trying to figure out who this girl was. Maria looked back at him with confusion.

"What's up with him?" Maria thought still staring at the hedgehog. She didn't do anything out of the ordinary today…

"….and this is what powers the Tornado…is anyone listening to me? And when did Sonic get here?" Tails pouted. The other two looked up at him.

"Sorry buddy…Hey! Since when did you get your hands on a Chaos Emerald?" Sonic asked, pointing at the red gem that was in the fox's hands as he fluttered down beside Maria.

"What is it?" Maria asked, looking at the gem oddly.

"This is Chaos Emerald," Tails said, handing over the emerald to Maria, "it has been said that having one of these gems can do great things and having all seven a miracle will happen." Maria looked at the gem in her hands strangely. The gem felt alive, as if something was trying to sooth her and let her know everything will be okay.

"It feels like there's a heartbeat in it," Maria said in awe, still holding the gem. Sonic looked at the girl with the look of shock, anger and confusion on his face as he walked over to the girl and snatched the emerald away and started to head outside. He looked over at Tails.

"We need to talk," he said. Tails nodded and fallowed the hedgehog leaving Maria alone.

"What did I do?" she thought as she sat down on a work bench.

-XXX-

"There's something not right about that girl. She can sense Chaos Energy. How normal is that?" Sonic ranted. Tails rolled his eyes.

"So she can sense Chaos Energy. That's kind of amazing considering how many people could sense them and choose to ignore it. And this whole 'she's working with Eggman because she muttered what you thought sounded like Robotnik' thing sounds so farfetched."

"But she did! I swear Tails she did!"

"Sonic…please…just stop okay?" Tails groaned and walked back towards the garage leaving Sonic alone.

"There's something about that girl and I'll find it out if it's the last thing I do."

-XXX-

Later that evening Maria and Tails were sitting on the couch watching some cartoon show about robots fighting robots. Sonic had said he had some stuff to do and went off somewhere.

"So…that's a good guy?" Maria asked in confusion. Tails looked at her with disgust on his face.

"Megatron is pretty much the most evilest thing you can get in Transformers with the exception of Unicron."

"There's a unicorn in this series?" At this statement, Tails faced/palmed and refused to talk about Transformers anymore to Maria.

-XXX-

It was around 11 at night when Maria ventured outside, with a cup of hot coco, to star gaze on the porch. Sonic hadn't return and Tails had gone to bed over an hour ago.

"It's so peaceful," she said to herself, a smile coming across her face, eyes closed.

"Peace comes with a price Maria. You know that better than anyone."

Eyes snapped open. The world that surrounded her was now those dingy white walls of the ARK, the giant windows showing the emptiness of space. Maria got from where she was and turned around to see her best friend standing at the door way.

"What is going on," she blurted…fear and sadness in her voice; "you're not dead…are you?"

The lifeform shook his head, which gave Maria some relief. She sat back down.

"Then why are you haunting me?"

Shadow sighed as he walked to the girl and joined her with sitting on the floor.

"Maria…you need to find me. There's something going on….at….GUN…oh no….bre…ak…ing…..up….…co…me…a…n…d….fi…n…d…..me… at…"

"Come find you….come find you where?" Maria shrieked.

"What are you going on about?"

Maria stopped and turned around to see Sonic staring at her.

"Uh…how long have you been there?" she asked. The hedgehog rolled his eye.

"Long enough. So tell me "Mars"…who are you?"

"What are you…?"

"Firstly, no human can sense Chaos Energy. It's not in their makeup to do sense it. They need machines in order to sense it, yet you're able to do it just fine and dandy like us. So right there says there's something not with you. Secondly…you have had two weird dream like states today and are looking for someone thus running away from home. Why run away? And thirdly….You. Said. Robotnik!"

Maria looked at the hedgehog with confusion until…

"UGH! I did say my last name….aurgh…"

"Huh?" was the hedgehog's reply. The girl turned to him and sighed.

"You want to know who I am. I'm the 12 year old little girl who had a disease that couldn't be cured, I'm the little girl who was shot for letting her best friend escape to make others happy. I'm the little girl who should be 62 but I'm 15," the sapphire blue eyes locked on to emerald green and Sonic couldn't believe the words that came out of her mouth next

"Mars is what my initials rearrange into…my real name is Maria Anne Sophia Robotnik….and 50 years ago….I was presumed dead."

AN: Wow got that done for you all! Thanks for reading, Chapter 6 should be up in the next two weeks.
