Chapter 1: Maria and Her Chao Friends
Over twelve years has passed, and Mobius is looking very peaceful. Living far in the Grazz Zone is a small house that is right next to a big cave. The sun begins to rise up in the sky with the beam touching the house.
In the bedroom, there is a bed with one small furniture with a big one that has a mirror on it. The small one has a lamp, and a photo of Rouge the bat and a small female black and red hedgehog around five years old.
Sleeping in the bed is the black and red hedgehog already over twelve years old. When the sun shines in her room, the girl begins to wake up. She opens her eyes, and sits up with a tired look. She then lets out a yawn as she stretches her arms. The girls gets out the bed to reveal a red nightgown, and looks out the window to see the sun shining and the sky is clear.
The girls smiles, and says, "what a beautiful day."
She then hear someone calling, "Maria, it's time for breakfast!"
"Okay Aunt Rouge," The girl Maria answers.
Maria then decides to get herself dressed. She goes in her closet and picks up her clothes, nd quickly changes. She is now wearing a long sleeve white shirt with a black vest, dark brown pants with red and yellow shoes with boosters on the bottom and gold rings on the ankles. Her quills has red stripes and long enough to make a down ponytail, white gloves with gold rigs.
Maria loos over herself, and says, "Perfect."
She then make her away downstairs to see her Aunt Rogue s finish making some breakfast. Then the two are no having their breakfast.
"So Maria, what are you planning to do today?" Rouge asks.
"I plan on doing a little training with my abilities and go to the lake to see my friends," Maria answers.
"That's nice. Since you're going out, think you can be a dear and pick some fruits and berries from the woods. I need to head out to get a few things," Rouge says.
Maria nods her head, "Yes Aunt Rouge."
"Rember, don't go too far, and don't speak to strangers, "Rouge says.
"I understand," Maria answers.
"Good and remember to be home before dark," Rouge says.
Maria smiles, "I will."
After having breakfast, Maria walks outside with a basket in her hand. Rouge follow after her with a backpack.
"I'll be gone for a few hours and I'll be home before dinner," Rouge says.
She and Maria hug each other and they go their separate ways.
Maria begin to use her booster to air skate across the field and into the woods. She feels very free when she goes fast and let the wind go through her hair. She skates through the woods until she reaches a mountain side, and stops in front of a small cave. She then crawls into the cave. The cave is a long way deep into the mountain.
Finally, she crawls out to see the secret field full of flowers, grass, and trees and bushes full of fruits. There is also a waterfall and a lake full of fresh clean water.
Maria begins to walk a little as she calls out, "Chao! Chao! Chao!"
Just then, a large chao colony come out of the trees, bushes, and small caves to see the hedgehog. All the chaos are blue, all except one. This one is black with red markings on its arms legs, and the top of it's head, the wings are dark purple, and blue eyes. This chao is a lot like Maria.
This chao flies over, and gives Maria a hug.
Maria giggles, "I'm happy to see you too, Blackberry."
"How are you and your friends doing?" Maria asks.
All the chao answer in their language with happy smiles on their faces.
"I'm so glad. I need to pick some fruits and berries, if you all don't mind?" Maira replies.
All the chaos happily reply, and begin to help Maria pick the fruits and berries from the bushes and trees. Maria asks the chaos to put the berries on some fabric to seperate them. When they're full, she wrapped the top with rope, and puts them in the basket.
Once she is done picking the fruits, she places the basket next to the tree.
Maria smiles at the chaos and says, "Come on guys, let's go play."
All the chaos reply happily, and they begin to play. They first begin to go for a swim in the water. Maria dives under the water to see the ground floor. Blackberry follows with glee. They see different fishes swimming, along with seeing different plants under the water.
After they, Maria brings a ball with her, and she begins to play catch with them. Each little chao hits the ball and bounces it to the other one. Maria hits the ball at some point and it flies in the way. When the ball reaches Blackberry, it misses and falls into the water. Blackberry picks it up, and throws it to one of her chao friends.
Then, they play tag with Maria being it. Maria continues to run after the young chaos util she is able to tag Blackberry. She then runs away from the little chao. Blackberry is a little faster than the other chaos so she is able to catch up to Maria, but not enough to tag her.
Soon after, they all lay down on the grass enjoying the bright sun and clear blue sky. Maria and her chao friends are very happy.
Maria turns to the chaos, "Blackberry,do you and the others know that next week it's my thirteenth birthday. I hope that Aunt Rouge can take me out for my birthday."
The chaos reply, talking to the hedgehog.
"I know, I don't really go out to anywhere, but here and the forest. Aunt Rouge doesn't want me to go anywhere out of the forest. I sometimes wonder why,but she said that someday we will leave to go anywhere I want. I hope it's soon," Maria says.
She looks up at the sky to see that it's already past the afternoon.
She gets up, and says, "I wish I can play with you some more, but I need to get going. I plan on doing some training today."
The chaos reply and give her hugs and kisses goodbye. Blackberry however, hugs Maria and refuses to let her go. Blackberry talks in her language.
"I know you like me to stay, but I need to get going. Would you like to come with me again today?" Maria says.
Blackberry happily calls out, "Chao! Chao!"
"Then let's get going," Maria says, grabbing her basket full of fruits and berries.
The chaos wave goodbye to Maria and Blackberry, and the two girls head through the tunnel to come out of the mountain. Once they are out the mountain, the two head head for herself to train and make a game out of it.
Maria uses her boosters to skate across the forest with Blackberry flying behind her. Maria makes her hand amit electricity and throws them at a rock that has a target on it.
She then creates a spear, and shouts, "Chaos spear!"
Then throws it to a target that is being hanged on a tree.
Maria then performs a spin that turns her into a ball, and uses that ability to jump and bounce on the trees. Then she climbs the hill as she spins as a fast ball. When she reaches the top of the hill, she then begins to skate back on her feet and glides down the hill. Maria feels like she is a grand time. She has practice using her powers every day, and everyday she grows stronger.
As she skates through the valley, she grabs onto Blackberry, and shouts, "Chaos Boost!"
She then skates across the valley in top speed. Soon enough, she stops over a giant lake with a waterfall right by it. She makes sure Blackberry is at a far distance so she will be safe. She flies in the air, and makes her hand glow. She dives to the water, and brings out her fist as it admits a flame.
She calls out, "Chaos blast!"
She strikes her fist on the top of the water causing a giant wave appear from the water and clashes back into the lake.
Maria then lands back on land, as she takes deep breaths. Blackberry claps and cheers with a smile on her face.
Maria laughs, and says, "Yes. I did a great job. I practiced everyday, but there's still one more power that I am unable to accomplish."
"Chao?" Blackberry asks.
"It's called Chaos Wing. When I first activate it, I kind of lost control of it. Aunt Rouge said that I need to practice and wait until I got better control of it." Maria answers.
"Chao chao!" Blackberry says.
Maira laughs, "You're right, I just need to practice more and I'll be able to perfect it. But right now, it's time for us to head home."
"Chao chao chao?" Blackberry asks.
"Yes. You can come home with me for the night," Maria answers.
Maria girns, and says, "Race you home."
"Chao chao!" Blackberry happily says.
Then the two begin to race back home for the day. They skate through the woods.
Song:
When cold wind is a' calling, and the sky is clear and bright
Maria then uses her thunder to hit the target on the boulder.
Song:
Misty mountains sing and beckon, lead me out into the light
Maria and Blackberry speeds around the tree. Maria then has her chaos spear ready.
Song:
I will ride, I will fly, chase the wind and touch the sky
She then uses it on the tree branch above.
Song:
I will fly, chase the wind and touch the sky
She then uses her chaos spear from behind.
Song:
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la la la la
Blackberry smiles and flies besides her.
Song:
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la la la la
She then stops on the hill top to see the horizon. She really desires to go beyond her home to see what the world has out there.
Song:
Where dark woods hide secrets and mountains are fierce and bold
Deep waters hold reflections of times lost long ago
Maria and Blackberry race over the water.
Song:
I will hear their every story, take hold of my own dream
Be as strong as the seas are stormy, and proud as an eagle's scream
She then climb on a cliff that is close to her home.
Song:
I will ride, I will fly, chase the wind and touch the sky
I will fly, chase the wind and touch the sky
Maria and Blackberry reach the top to see the ocean from above.
Song:
And touch the sky, chase the wind
Chase the wind, touch the sky
They two walk back to her home close to the cave.
Song:
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la la la la
Soon the two reach the house next to the holl.
Song:
And touch the sky
Chase the wind
Chase the wind
Touch the sky
When the two are in the house, they sit in the living room to relax. Maria is never happier to have great friends, and her Aunt Rouge with her. What she doesn't know, is that tonight her life is going to change forever.
Touch the Sky from Brave.
