Chapter One

"Eggman Earth Atmosphere Watching Machine thingie--now activated." a robotic voice said.

"Where does he get the names for those robots anyway?" a cleaning robot commented to another robot by the name Dusty.

"I suppose it gives my creations...personality." Dr. Eggman responded, from overhearing Dusty agreeing with the one who had started talking in the first place--Moppy.

"Sorry, sir!" Moppy and Dusty stood up straight, alert.

"Yes...anywho," Eggman turned to the EEAWMT (Eggman Earth Atmosphere Watching Machine Thingie). "If I'm quite lucky, this machine might be able to pick up some useful remains of the ARK incident. I dare bring it up since it happened about a 2 years ago. The day I joined Sonic the Hedgehog to save the world." the doctor shivered. "Yes, I dare not think of it."

"Object located." the robotic voice from the EEAWMT responded. "Of mecca and orga desent."

"An android? Is it still in service?" Eggman asked.

"Unable to identify."

"Damn," Eggman mumbled. "Well, bring it in, we can find out then. Send out the magnetic satilite!"

"We can't really 'send it out'. Its a huge satilite--" Moppy started.

"Don't get started with me, you bucket of nuts and bolts! I'll turn you int a dishwasher in a heartbeat!" Eggman cried.

"Alright, sorry. Somebody woke up on the wrong side of the lab this morning." Moppy said, rolling his plastic eyes.

"Now, begin the magnetic field device thingy." Eggman said, ignoring Moppy.

"Are you high? Why does everything end with 'thingy'?" Moppy commented.

the satilite hummed as Eggman yelled at Moppy. "LISTEN! I WON'T CHARGE YOU ANYMORE!"

"DOES IT LOOK LIKE I CARE? I HAVE INFINITE POWER! *YOU* MADE ME THAT WAY!"

"AW PHOOEY!"

The object entered the lab from a nearby door. It made a loud 'clunk' as the object hit the floor. It was a container, filled with red liquid. A dark form could be seen, floating within.

"AH!" Eggman said, turning from Moppy. "An android...a SHE?"

The peacefully sleeping Maria I was within the container. She was very unlike Maria II, with more darker qualities and when she awoke, a totally different personalities. She had long black hair, pale skin that hadn't been dyed from the liquid in her chamber and she wore a black blouse and skirt. Her eyes opened, revealing crimson orbs. From within the container she said "Hello, master." in monotone.

"Master?" Eggman put his hand to his chin, "That sounds familar. But never mind that! Finally, a machine that respects me! Unlike Moppy here..."

"What may I do for you, my master?" Maria I asked pleasantly.

"Well, I guess I'll give you the test I give all the machines I come across. Destroy Sonic the Hedgehog. If you can do that...then you are a top notch machine, unlike Moppy here..." Eggman trailed off.

"Would you please stop comparing me to her?!" Moppy cried hopelessly.

"As you wish, master." Maria bowed. "But first I need assistance from being released from my holding unit."

"Oh! Yes! Of course." Eggman nodded, smiling. "Moppy, get her out of there."

"OH! First you want to fight me! Then compare me to an android, THEN you want me to help you? Oh no no no! Things don't work out that way. Not Moppy's way!" the robot ranted.

Eggman grabbed him and kicked him out the room, "Go dust something!"

"That's my job, sir." the silent Dusty responded.

"YOU WANT A GO AT ME TOO?" Eggman snarled.

"no--no, sir."

"Good, now help the young lady from the container."

Dusty did as he was told, but just as the container top was slightly off, a hand escaped the container through the glass. The hand grabbed the robot's head, crushing it like a paper ball.

"Uh...better...get...Mayco..." the robot mumbled, shutting down.

Dropping Dusty's broken robot body, Maria jumped from the broken container, quickly making her way over to Eggman, grabbing him by the neck. "Listen, human. I'm looking for a black hedgehog. Name's Shadow. You better give me some useful information or I'll kill you, right here, right now."

"He's...with...Sonic..." Eggman choked out. "Kill Sonic...you basically...kill him."

Maria let him go, "Hmm, yes. What does this Sonic mean to him? I want to hurt him as much as he hurt me."

"Sonic's kind of like his lover. Been going together for a year now. Word in Station Square gossip is Shadow's going to ask Sonic to marry him." Eggman gasped, holding his neck. Eggman had a neck? WOAH.

"How do you know all this?" Maria asked irritatedly.

"Its all the news talks about these days. And those crazed fangirls wanting to see them have sex..."

"Forget I asked." Maria said, disgustedly, "I hate to hear of his fortune. He himself left even me...to rust or whatever. He liked II better than me. He was created to be MY pet. HA! Like a weirdly gothic hedgehog looked right as a pet to that goodie-two-shoes bitch. I enjoyed killing her."

"You...killed Maria?" Eggman asked.

"Yes." Maria II said with much relish. "And to think, they thought those soilders had killed her."

Anger was swelling up in the doctor. "Y-you....you drove my grandfather insane!"

"Oh, I did much more than that. I made sure he was caught. I made sure he died." Her eyes were afire, as if some emotion back then had ressurfaced.

Eggman stepped back, "Your one of his creations! Shadow will destroy you! He was sworn--"

"Let me see him try!" Maria interrupted, stepping back from the broken container on the floor. She ran to a window and suddenly jumped through it, breaking the glass.

"NO--WAIT! That's 20 floors down!" Eggman cried, running over to the window to see the little girl already gone. "Damn androids." he mumbled.
