Chapter 5

Maria finally arrived at her house with her teleportation but before knocking, she was deep in thought. 'Why do I feel like I'm making a great mistake in telling my father about Sonic's weaknesses? My brain says Sonic is a bad person but my heart says his not (A/N: Fortunately Jimmy installed a heart chip as well). But I have to obey my father! I can't betray him, I'll tell him everything I know!'.

After opening the door to a dark front room, Maria noticed that her father was sitting in a chair before her. With an angry face on, Jimmy stood up and asked softly, "Where have you been?" Which seemed weird...

"Urm, well I was uh..." Maria stuttered as she was lost for words. 'Why can't I say I was at Sonic's house? It's not like it's his weakness. But I have to say that as well, we have to kill Sonic!'. "I'm waiting?" Jimmy asked with impatience which brought Maria back to reality. He just stood there, waiting for a response from his blonde creation.

"I was... Trying to get more info from Dash" Maria lied as she hoped he would go for it. 'Did I just lie to my father!?'

"So late in the day?" Jimmy asked her, raising an eyebrow. "Yeah, sorry for making you worry about me" Maria softly replied, looking down in the process. Her father just sighed at her excuse and walked away, turning the lights on on the way and left his daughter in thought. 'I can't believe I couldn't tell him about what data I collected' Maria thought with disappointment in her face. 'Dammit!'

The next day...

Dash approached his locker and began searching for his history book when suddenly he saw a red echidna in the corner of his eye. He quickly turned towards Tiron and called him over. With the red echidna stopping in front of him with his 'what's up?' expression, Dash began to spoke. "Could you please delete that photo before anyone else see it?" Dash asked, almost pleading as Tiron just smirked. "Don't worry dude, I deleted it yesterday night after I showed it to my father" Tiron said as he chuckled at his father's earlier expression.

"Whatever" Dash said in a bored expression as he took his book out, closed his locker and walked away. A few steps later Tiron jogged towards Dash and asked, "Hey you may don't know it yet but I'm throwing a huge party at my parent's house this Friday night and I was hoping-".

"Not gonna happen" Dash interrupted his offer as Tiron stopped for a sec before he jogged back to Dash. "Aw come on dude, the party won't be rad if Sonic's son won't show up, ya know what I'm sayin?"

"Yes I do and no I don't wanna. Evens if I did want to my parents won't allow it"

"K if ya change ya mind wit ter permission then come al'ight lil blue?" Tiron asked as he placed a paper in the blue hedgehog's shirt pocket. "See ya" Knuckle's son said before he walked off.

Between 1st and 2nd...

Dash was walking towards his locker to change books when all of a sudden he saw Maria was cornered by three boys. Dash couldn't help but stop and listen to the conversation they were having. "Hey sexy lady, why don't I treat you to a meal after school?" The middle one asked with a seductive expression on his face. "Urm that sounds nice and all but I'll have to pass" Maria declined with a sweet smile as she tried walking away but they just blocked all the exits. "Aw don't be like that, please? I promise I'll make it worth your wild" he replied to her answer with an innocent face on. Before Maria could say anything else, Dash 'ahem' at the scene as the four looked at him.

"What the fuck do you want?" The middle one asked as he took a step forward which gave Maria an exit opportunity which she gladly took with a smile. Before the three could stop her she was already at Dash's side. "Oh nothing, let's go Maria" Dash said with a smile as he walked away. Maria happily waved goodbye to the boys before following Dash which left three upset beings behind.

Soon...

"Thanks for getting me out of that situation Dash" Maria said with a smile. "Don't mention it Mary" Dash said which made Maria stop in her tracks with a confused expression. "Mary?"

"Well yeah, that's the nickname I gave you. You like?"

"Yeah, it sounds very nice" Maria replied happily as she walked on.

Later at the Cafeteria...

Dash looked at all the different types of food but none of them made him hungry. In fact most of them almost made him hurl! "Choose already kid! You're hogging up the line!" The cafeteria lady shouted, which made the long line next to Dash moan and groan and complain. "Isn't there Chili Do-" Dash tried asking but was interrupted by a yell from the lady. "For the 52nd time NO!"

Soon at Dash's table...

Blaze, Tails and Maria who decided to join them waited for Dash to arrive and meanwhile ate their food (A/N: Seems like Silver didn't tell his daughter yet that Maria was one of the targets). "Man, he sure can take long for a speedy little devil, don't he?" Blaze complained as Dash asked "Are you certain that there are no more-" which made the lady yell once again.

"Well he does only eat chili dogs which are up at the moment" Tails said as Dash asked "Are you sure you aren't hiding-" which made the lady yell once again. 'Poor Dash' Maria thought to herself with worry as Dash tried to asked once again but was kicked from the line and landed right on his seat next to Tails with a dull expression. "Cheer up man, at least have some of my ramen. It's incredibly tasty" Tails offered but Dash declined with a sigh. "I don't like Ramen".

"I'll give you money for chili dogs after school if you do" Tails teased which Dash quickly took from him and the bowl of ramen. "I'm just kidding, I love Ramen" Dash said cheerfully before digging in which made Maria giggle a bit.

Later...

Last Period felt like forever for Dash as he focused on the clock above the boring teacher. 'Come on, momma needs to buy her a new pair of chili dogs' Dash thought to himself with desire as the bell finally rang.

"Alright!" Dash exclaimed but before dashing off, the teacher said, "Everyone may leave except for Dash who wasn't paying attention 1 bit".

"What?! But but but..."

"But what?"

"...Nah I got nothing"

Later...

Dash finally stepped out of school and was expecting no students in sight but there was only one who smiled warmly at him. That person was Maria.

"Maria? What are you still doing here?" Dash asked as he approached her with a confused expression. "Well I just wanted to walk you home that's all" Maria said with a smile, trying to hide her real emotion of anxiety.

"You sure? You seem excited to me" Dash said as the two began walking to Dash's residence. "Well I..." Maria looked away, embarrassed at her sudden urges. "I'm just kidding ya Mary" Dash said with a cocky smirk which made Maria look at him and laugh a bit in embarrassment. "Actually I was hoping for another lesson with Mr. Sonic since the last one didn't go as he planned"

"Of course, but I first have to ask the fastest thing alive if his up for another challenge of doom"

"But I didn't-"

"Of course not, I'm kidding Mary. Don't sweat like that, you making me scared" Dash laughed as Maria couldn't help but laugh with.

Later at home...

"I'm home mom and dad and look who came to visit again" Dash shouted as Sonic came down from the stairs with a warm expression. "Hey there kiddo, howya doin?"

"Good afternoon Mr. Sonic, I'm doing great and you?"

"Never felt better!" Sonic exclaimed with a huge smile as he stretched his arms and legs a bit. "Well I'm off, sorry I couldn't hang out for a while" Sonic said as he walked towards the door. "Where are you going dad?" Dash asked with curiosity as Sonic simply replied when he opened the door, "Curiosity killed the hedgehog champ".

Before Sonic could sped off, he heard Dash asked something that made him stop. "Well Maria was just wondering if she could have the unfinished lesson you guys had yesterday?". Maria just glared at Dash for asking something like that at a time like this. "What?"

"There's no need to Mr. Sonic" Maria tried to convince the speedy blue hedgehog but failed as Sonic turned around and said, "Of course we can, and we'll do it at Sunset Beach". Before anyone could have reacted, Sonic scooped Maria up and ran outside. "Curiosity kills the hedgehog? Yeah right" Dash said as he closed the door and went upstairs to find his mother.

Meanwhile at Sunset Beach...

The sun wasn't exactly setting but the ocean blue water still seemed beautiful without it. As Sonic placed Maria down on the sand, he began to say, "Let's begin!". To his surprise, Maria didn't punched him like last time. "Okay, now I am going to teach you to find your hidden Super Speed DNA inside".

"Alright" Maria replied as she had no idea what he just said...

Meanwhile...

Silver flew across the air, looking at the map with the help of his goggles. "Alright, Maria's location should be under me right... NOW" Silver said with confidence as he looked down and was surprised to see not only Maria but Sonic as well. "Why on earth is Sonic The Hedgehog here?" He asked as he flew down quickly and landed perfectly. Fortunately the impact was loud enough to grab their curious attention.

"Who are you?" Sonic asked as Maria looked at Silver with a deep worry expression. Firstly this character knows Maria's secret which her father said to her to keep until further notice. And second if this gray hedgehog says Sonic about it, then she has to put up with 2 apparently strong hedgehogs all by herself!

Silver noticed Maria with this expression but kept his attention on Sonic. "My name is Silver The Hedgehog and I am from a top secret corporation who's looking for a criminal named Jimmy but cannot find his location. Fortunately for us Maria is his creation which we'll interrogate until Jimmy's location is known"

At that moment, Maria expected Sonic to turn his back on her but to her surprise, he didn't. "Why should I believe you?"

"Cause if you don't then I just have to go get her myself"

"If you want her, then you'll have to go through me to get her"

"What? Have you lost your mind or are you turning evil just like them"

"Neither and Jimmy's evil, not Maria" Sonic growled which made Maria feel depressed for some reason. Either cause Sonic doesn't know she's evil or that the hero accused her father being evil. But she didn't know who's good and bad anymore...

"Sonic, I have proof that she is"

"Shove your proof up your butt cause I'm not buying none of it!"

"Very well, you leave me no choice"

"So have you" Sonic said before charging in for an attack. To his surprise, Silver was gone before he reached him as Sonic felt Silver kicked him on his back causing Sonic to slide a bit. "Cheap shot" the blue blur said before running in once again except this time he blocked Silver's surprise attack. "Now you mine" Sonic smirked as he grabbed Silver's leg and began to swing him for about 10 seconds before throwing him into a hill near the beach.

Maria just watched on with confusion as she was deep in thought. 'Is Sonic so naïve that he won't listen to the silvery hedgehog? Or maybe he wants to protect me for some reason? Stop it Maria, you hurting your memory banks!'.

Back at the battle, Sonic and Silver collided their hands and fingers entwined together. Each hedgehog trying to overpower the other as they growled at each other. "Can't you see, we wasting time fighting each other when we can help locate Jimmy!"

"Oh I'll find Jimmy without your help!" Sonic said before pulling and throwing Silver in the sea. Silver just smirked as got an idea. He used his psychokinesis on the water and used it to pull Sonic deep into the ocean. Maria was just astonished by the scene as Sonic came up and struggled to breath. "God dammit!" Sonic said before accidently swallowing a chunk of sea water and tried his best to not faint. "Don't you *gulp gulp paddle gulp* touch her!".

"Don't worry, she'll defend herself with her robotic mode just like last time right?" Silver asked a rhetorical question as Maria backed up a bit. She wanted to use it but something kept her from using it. Probably Sonic but why she care? If she doesn't do it something fast, then they'll take her! Maria couldn't think and was about to change when Silver grabbed her arm and flew up high.

"NO!" Sonic yelled as he wasn't thinking of his own safety first. To him Maria was completely innocent, no matter what the circumstances and shouldn't be treated like this. Sonic did all he can paddling rapidly and kicking his legs but it was no good. He couldn't travel on water and now Maria was gone...

As Silver flew across town, Maria began to kick and punch him cause for some reason she couldn't change to her robotic form. "Let me go you loser and what have you done to me?! I can't change!" Maria asked, still punching but it didn't faze him one bit. "I've placed a gadget on you that disable your transformation" Silver simply replied as he continued to fly across Station Square. "Dammit let me go! Daddy help!"

"Your father can't hear you and even if he did and arrive here, you'll just give his location and we wouldn't interrogate you" Silver said as he was getting annoyed by the tickly punches.

Maria needed help and she needed it right now. She didn't know who else to except for her so called 'enemy'. She sighed and took one deep breath before shouting, "SSSSOOOOOOOOOOONNNNIIIIIIIIIIIICCC!". No response. When she thought all hope was lost, she finally saw a blue blur running at the back of them. "Sonic!" Maria said in relieve. "Sonic's not coming, he can't swim and escape the deep end of the sea" Silver explained, but a miracle was born as Sonic jumped up high and kicked Silver directly at the back of his head. "Ah" he exclaimed as he lost his grip on Maria, who fell down with noone to save her. She could use her teleportation, but then she had to search for a safe spot which she didn't had time to do. Maria just closed her eyes, waiting for the impact but received a different one.

She opened his eyes to see Dash looking at her with a warm smile as he kept her in his arms. Unlike Sonic's hold, something about Dash's hold was making her feel warm inside. She never experienced this before until now and it felt really good. Dash chuckled when he saw. Maria's cheeks produce a light shade of red. He just gently drop her to her legs and looked at her blue orbs with his dark green eyes.

"T-thank you Dash" Maria said before shaking her blush away. "Anytime" Dash said with his usual cocky smirk.

"What happened? I thought Sonic couldn't swim?"

"He can't, that's why I came just in time"

"But how did you-"

"I didn't. I just got bored and decided to come watch you guys train. Unfortunately I was late" Dash asked with a sad face before he looked up at his father's fight with seriousness. Sonic was bouncing back and forth on Silver as he used the buildings and ground to rebounce himself. "Father, the boss needs you back at HQ" Blaze said through Silver's communicator. "Roger that" he replied before taking note of Sonic. "It seems I am being called in Sonic. But next time Maria is coming with me" he said with confidence before vanishing into thin air. "Whatever man" Sonic said as he jumped towards the two children.

"You two okay?" Sonic asked with concern. "Yep" both replied in union as they looked at each other before giggling. Sonic just smirked at the two. "Alright, let's go home" he said before walking away with the two.

Later on...

"Honey, I'm back!" Sonic shouted as Amy came from the kitchen with pink oven mits. "Welcome back honey and you two, how was your day?" Amy asked as she planted a kiss on her husband's lips. "Fine until some guy came from noone to take Maria away"

"What?! Why?!" Amy asked with worry. "He said something about Maria is connected with Jimmy somehow"

As the two adults continued their conversation about Maria, Dash and Maria had a similar talk. "I don't believe him. I mean why would a good person like you have a connection with a bad person like Jimmy? It's totally ridiculous" Dash said as Maria became confused once again. This Dash noticed and ask Maria if something was wrong.

"No nothing, I'm just confused. I mean I met Jimmy and he doesn't seem bad". This took Sonic, Amy and Dash by surprise as the blue blur and Amy approached the two in the kitchen. "Are you sure?" Sonic asked with curiosity.

"Of course, he never did nothing wrong!" Maria almost shouted in response as Sonic looked at Amy with confusion. As he looked back at the confident Maria, he began to say in a soft voice, "Maria, he did a lot of things wrong".

"Like what?" Maria asked with an angry face. She didn't act like this around them before now. This was making Sonic and Amy concern about her.

"He hurted a lot of people" he said with the same low tone as Amy and him hang their heads at the dark past Amy had. "...Especially me"

Now Maria became even more confused. Why would her father hurt his own daughter?

"He lied to you Maria" Dash said lowly as Maria looked at him with a 'not you too!?' face.

After explaining to Maria about Amy's past, she couldn't shake the feeling that she still had to choose who to believe. Her creator or her enemy?

Meanwhile at Jimmy's hidden house...

"So she finally found out" Jimmy said to himself as he heard through his newly upgraded communicator. "She lied to me about her being there yesterday and now she wants to betray me huh? Well I was hoping it wouldn't come to this but I have no choice" he sighed in disappointment as he got up from his chair and went downstairs to the basement where he began to tinker with a robot he built a while after his release from jail.

As he finished tinkering with it, he took a step back a smirked with amazement. "Maria, it seems you can't finish what we started, so your big sister will do it!" He said to himself as the red-haired female robot's eyes opened with glowing red eyes. "Muah ha ha hah ha hah!"
