CHAPTER 6: Fifty years ago

"Well I must say, the finishing result is quite impressive. What do you think?" said a man.

"Will it be useful for both our goals?"

"Yes...yes indeed."

"I must request to know G.U.N.'s intentions. You have kept me in the dark for too long now."

"Soon I will tell you. Not now, we must test the project to see that it is stable."

The first one walked over to a control panel, followed by the second. He pulled a lever and looked at a test tube. Black goo fell down from the top. The second one sat down at a computer and started tapping away, momentarily looking at the tube. The first continued to slowly pull down the lever when the entire room shook.

"What was that?" asked the first.

"I have no idea! But too much has been released! Pull the lever back!"

The goo had long since been absorbed by the lizard in the tank. It began to grow and mutate at incredible speeds. It was soon over 80 metres long and more than 15 metres tall and still growing. It let out a massive roar. It soon began to dwindle and fell to the floor.

"So our invention has its limits. The thing can't stand up on its own four feet. Unless...do you think the Chaos Emeralds will work, Gerald?"

The second one, known as Gerald, was still tapping on the computer and turned around.

"You know how tight our schedule is! We can't focus on this failure. We need to succeed."

"This being is incredibly sensitive to the Chaos energy. See for yourself." he said, tossing a ring at the creature. It quickly began to get up, until the ring burned out. "This thing is incredible! If you want to try again, then feel free to do so, because this IS the Ultimate Life Form. All we need to use are the Chaos Emeralds.

"Commander, this is nonsense! This thing can't even talk. I have no idea how this is going to help my granddaughter"

The man looked angry for once.

"Listen Gerald! I want a full analysis of this thing. Get the report ready by the time I get the Emeralds!"

Gerald cursed under his breath, looking at the goon he had allied with.

The man stared out of the massive window. He hated guard duty. It's not like anyone is going to raid a space station in space. Well where else would a space station be? Underwater? Sometimes he wondered if he was going insane. Probably not. Out of nowhere, a medium sized meteor, about 50 metres wide, crashed in the window. The man jumped backwards as the entire colony vibrated. Stuff began flying out of the window. He held onto a handlebar as he saw a girl fly towards the window. The blast shields shut as she almost fell out of the window. The dazed guard stared at the girl. She had shoulder length blond hair, rosy skin, sapphire eyes and a beautiful blue dress. She was no older than twelve.

"What are you doing here Maria?"

"Walking." she said cheerfully. There was something about her that just seemed to be so jolly. Despite being sick with a disease that was going to kill her sooner or later, she always had a smile on her face.

"Well if Robotnik finds out you've been here you won't be so jolly."

"Would gramps really punish me like that?" she said.

"Yes. You know not to mess with Gerald Robotnik!"

"It was rhetorical...and the answer is no." she chirped and walked away. Maria walked down the hallway and looked at a sign. She turned down the right hallway and after a few seconds looked at another sign. She got in a lift and went up to the top floor. She then walked all the way down another hallway.

"This place is more confusing than Death Star II." she mumbled to herself as she stood next to a door. She heard her grandpa shouting and that other guy on vacation here too. When the shouting died down, she opened the door. Or tried to, as there was no handle. She placed her hand on the machine and it scanned the hand. The door opened and she walked in. She saw a massive lizard broken out of a test tube and a man in a lab coat. He was overweight, bald and had a grey moustache that seemed to be drooping. The man looked at her as he adjusted his glasses.

"Gerald!" she said, hugging her grandfather.

"Maria. It's nice to see you."

"What just happened." she said, letting go of him and pointing at the massive lizard.

"A failure. I...I don't think that thing will cure you. And the G.U.N. Commander is going to get the Chaos Emeralds from the other end of the station. He'll be back in ten minutes and I need to test this thing. Maria then leaned over to the computer screen and began typing. Two minutes later she showed Gerald the results.

"Hmmm...So he can absorb any Chaos energy within 100 metres. Nice work, Maria. Your mind is worthy of the Robotnik name."

"Thanks. It's the least I can do. After all, this...thing is going to save my life. Isn't it?"

"I don't know. Don't get your hopes too high. G.U.N. has its own goals and it's not like I can disobey them."

"I know...they are really powerful. One of the guards told me yesterday."

"Yes...and they will stay up and running for a long time, much longer than I will live. The next Robotnik to handle him will be you."

"Or my cousin..."

"Your cousin?" said Gerald in a sad voice. "Have I really been up here so long?"

Maria comforted him as they stared at the weak creation. It suddenly began to get up. Maria turned to the door and saw the Commander.

"So...Gerald. What are the test results?"

Gerald remained silent. Maria yelled.

"Get the emeralds out of here!"

Too late, the lizard inhaled the Chaos Emeralds and sent out a powerful laser, almost blowing up the lab.

"Maria, run!" yelled Gerald as half the laboratory exploded and filled with smoke.

Gerald Robotnik seems to have screwed up big time. The Biolizard is unleashed, who will stop it?
