Sonic Medley: Have A Chaotic Time To Travel

Sonic Medley: Have A Chaotic Time To Travel is series special that takes place after the events of Sonic X season 3, but also featuring characters from Sonic the Hedgehog (TV series), Sonic Underground, Sonic Boom (TV series), the Archie and IDW comics, and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games.

Synopsis
The timeline has been altered. A new face arrives on Earth destroying everything to do with Dr. Eggman and his grandfather, Gerald Robotnik. But when the newcomer comes Mobius, Sonic, friends and Shadow are in for the shock of their lives to discover that this new face is someone the Ultimate Lifeform hasn't seen in over 50 years. Who is this mysterious Freedom Fighter, and why does she seem so familiar?

Part 1
In a lab, which is located on the Space Colony ARK, a mysterious scientist with name "Kintobor" walks to the shelf that has canisters with blue, white, and black quills and throws them in a beaker to extract the essence of Chaos energy, turning the liquid yellow and then poured into a test tube ready to be sent into a time window that showed where the scientists are studying in their field before the raid happened. One of them noticed a package that contained the test tube and note that says to give it Maria Robotnik that will cure her of her illness. After said task was accomplished, the raid began exactly as expected and Gerald was apprehended with Maria and Shadow running from the GUN soldiers to the room with the escape capsules. Shadow was already in one of the capsules while Maria had to stay behind to ensure that the Ultimate Lifeform escaped, but not before pleading to help people and give them a chance to be his friend. But unbeknownst to Shadow, Maria not only looks stronger, but she feels stronger, too. As Shadow's capsule was launched, a bright light had appeared inside. Was it an explosion, or could it be that someone used Chaos Control? How is it possible?

Fast Forward

On the planet Cascade, the Metarex arrive to kidnap Eggman per one of the comrades, Leon's orders until the plan fell apart and Molly learns of her team's betrayal with her own eyes. When Shadow came and promised her that he will always be there when she needs him, she's suddenly became inspired by his words just like the story of Black Wind. With one final look at Shadow, Molly flies towards the Metarex fleet, and just as the black hedgehog goes to join her, a bright blue light streams in the sky and flies in Molly's view between her and the Metarex ships. In a blink of an eye, Molly disappears from her ship, as do the other Cascade comrades from theirs. And then, a bright flash engulfs the sky and the Metarex ships in it. There doesn't seem to be any survivors other than Eggman's space craft, and Rouge and Shadow are pondering what just happened. Then, out of nowhere, a note appears from the Chaos Emerald they found when they were looking for Metarex files, which turned out to be a trap set by Leon and his teammates.

''I have saved your friend from a horrible fate that was just waiting to happen. And don't worry about the others; they're safe, too. Leon and his teammates are teleported to the Chaotix Detective Agency where they will be safe, but not without punishment for their betrayal to their own. And Molly is on another planet, but I do not know how she will return. I hope to see you again one day, Shadow. Promise.

M.R.''

Those two initials struck like a chord for Shadow. He knows this, and that bright light he saw was the same as when he escaped in the capsule while Maria had to stay behind. Could it be...?

Fast Forward

Sonic and his friends have reached the coordinates sent by Dr. Eggman to save said evil genius from the clutches of the Metarex and attempted to prevent a phenomenon that occurs once every thousand years. As the planet reaches its Final Mova stage, Dark Oak attempts to crush the planet egg when Cosmo transforms and goes to immobilize him so that Super Sonic and Super Shadow can destroy the Metarex and save the galaxy. The Sonic Power Cannon is fired, and to everyone's surprise, the same blue light from Cascade joins the two hedgehogs towards the tree, and it seemed that Dark Oak is no more...and neither is Cosmo it seems. Tails is crying for the loss of his friend...until a hand touches him and he looks up to see...an alive Cosmo! The fox cried with joy to see her alright, afraid that he had killed her, but Cosmo assured him that he didn't, revealing to him that she was saved by someone. But who? It wasn't Shadow or Sonic, but something did join the two hedgehogs towards the tree and unexpectedly pulled Cosmo out before the blast hit. And just like what happened with Shadow and Rouge, a note appears but from one of Cosmo's rose petals, signed with same initials: "M.R". Why does it sound so familiar?

10 years later

The story opens up to an open desert on Earth in the daytime when something flies over the scorching sand with two riders flying by hoverboards with two passengers behind them. One other passenger up front is standing on the engine's wing belonging to someone piloting it, who turns to the one waving a glove hand, gesturing that it's the target they're looking for; Area 99.

Somewhere far in the desert, a photo shoot seems to be taking place as Lindsey Thorndyke, the film star and parent of Christopher Thorndyke, is posing in front of the camera when Sam Speed, her brother and the uncle of Chris, heard what sounds like a jet fly by and in the corner of his eye, there is indeed a fighter jet soaring in the sky, but none like he's seen before except for the X Tornado since Sonic and his friends arrived on Earth. Nelson, the husband of Lindsey and father of Chris, follows his gaze and is stunned to see this, too. From what they could tell, it looks like there's two hedgehogs (one yellow and one very light grey), one echinda flying the jet, a purple sparrow and an emerald green hawk each flying on hoverboards of their respected colors, and one lavender cat. But they couldn't see their faces because some are wearing either borongs, masks out of wood or bones, or helmets to mask their identities.

Nelson is appalled by this and assumes that it couldn't be Sonic or any of his friends. They're already sent home to prevent the two planets merging into one. Sam notices this and wonders if he recognizes these creatures other than who've they met recently.

The assailants hover over the base and one of them signals the attack, leaving the two riders and the pilot to stand by and watch as the other three crash into the base, doing anything to whatever comes their way, be it Chaos Control, ESP, and/or knocking out the soldiers with a Chaos Spear. The sounds of the explosion has also caught Lindsey's attention as she takes a break from her photo op. Soon, Area 99 goes up flames, forcing every scientist and soldier to clear out. And with no possible casualties claimed, the pilot and the riders join the assailants to salvage whatever they can find in the wreckage, hopefully something valuable and vital. No one spoke as they take in what they had witnessed until a few seconds, Nelson makes an important phone call.

Somewhere in the grasslands of another planet, the sound of a whirring engine can be heard. It came from a vermilion and fuschia hoverboard with a rabbit logo at the end where the feet nearly touches it. Those feet belong to an older Cream the Rabbit. Already, it has been ten years since the defeat of the Metarex and everybody has been taking it easy as they await for the Master Emerald, from which the energy is used to teleport Chris into Sonic's world, to restore and repair itself. And now, those ten years are worth the wait because after Chris has been sent back to his world, the Master Emerald is fully replenished and repaired miraculously. Word of its restoration spread throughout Mobius, but no word got around on what happened on Earth...yet. And after coming up with many ways to be one step ahead of Dr. Eggman before he plots another move to conquer Mobius, Tails came up with a more efficient, faster transportation than the X-Tornado and the Blue Typhoon; aerodynamic hoverboards called the X-Hurricanes. Cream was actually riding it for a field test since she had gotten stronger over the years, and after her experience in space, it's finally paid off. After the test ended, she flies back to Tails, who recorded the whole thing. Ever since Chris came to Mobius and came up with many ways to give Sonic a fighting chance against the Metarex, they've really inspired Tails to come up with new ways to one-up Dr. Eggman, who has been awfully quiet as of late, but the fox wasn't the one to let his guard down. He had to take the advantage to get a head-start before the evil scientist strikes.

Right then, Sonic, Amy, and Knuckles arrive on hoverboards of their own. Well, moreso Amy and Knuckles on boards while Sonic wears his hover shoes. And Rouge? She already has her wings and would consider it to be a waste not to use them when Tails insisted that she gives the hoverboard a chance. And to the bat's surprise, Cosmo, who had just became Tails's girlfriend after the battle with the Metarex, sternly suggested that she heeds Tails's advice to the letter no matter how sufficient her wings are, or how much she wanted to find some Chaos Emeralds. Everyone except Rouge just laughed at that sassy attitude. Just then, Vanilla shows up with the Chaotix Vector, Charmy, and Espio. She asked if they have been out in their battleships recently which raises suspicion but also concern, especially when her daughter is involved. Cream denied this saying that they hadn't left Mobius since they went into space to battle against the Metarex. Vanilla revealed that Vector told her that someone attacked Area 99 on Earth, and witnesses report seeing two hedgehogs, one echinda, one hawk, one sparrow and one cat on the scene. She sternly warns to not convince her there is no one from Mobius who could pull something like this off, demanding an explanation. Vector jumps in saying that he, Charmy, and Espio were investigating the crime scene when they heard someone sneaking around the government base, and showed Sonic's team who they've found; Shadow the Hedgehog! The last time they have seen of him was when he used Chaos Control to prevent the destruction of the galaxy from the Planet Egg, and everyone thought he was dead. Even Rouge has asked Dr. Eggman where the Ultimate Lifeform has gone, but he hasn't answered her question until she saw this for herself. Vanilla soon tells them that Shadow witnessed the attack himself, for he had nothing to do with planning it. Cream defended her friends, telling her mother that they have been together at Tails's warehouse all morning and it could've been Sonic, Amy or Knuckles attacking on Earth. Vanilla ends this conversation by saying that if it's not Sonic's team, then they have a much bigger problem, and that she has Chris and his friends waiting on hold at her house so that they could sort out the matter. After hearing the news, Sonic and his friends seem to be thinking the same thing; a rogue Freedom Fighter. Hopefully, they'll figure out who it is before they strike.

At Vanilla and Cream's house, there is indeed Chris, Frances, Danny, and Helen waiting for them through the holo-screen. Chris is back to his old self since they've last seen him as a 12-year-old due to use of the Master Emerald's energy that reverted him that way when he was teleported on Sonic's world. After being sent home in Dr. Eggman's transport ship, the effects of the Master Emerald are somehow stripped away and he's turned back into an 18-year-old, now 20 years of age. At least, it put an end to the confusion.

Chris, Frances, Danny, and Helen are at what remains of the Area 99 base so that they can clear their friends' names. During the search, Chris and Helen suspect this to be work of Dr. Eggman since he's stolen information about his grandfather Gerald Robotnik and creating Shadow from the government before. Danny and Frances seem to agree, believing that the mad scientist may have been creating lifeforms of his own and started this attack to frame Sonic and his friends. Luckily for them, only a few computers seem to be intact so that Chris can hack into system and see what it is that has been stolen before the assailants left the scene. From the looks of things, whoever it is they're dealing with sure knew what they were doing because there was a log entry of copying data for formulas that created Shadow, which strangely is all they have stolen. But then, something glinted in the corner of Frances' eye and when she goes to pick it up, it looked a sliver...from a gem of some kind. But what? Chris scans a sample of it and sends it to Tails so that he can determine what kind of gem it came from. What he saw blew his mind. The energy levels radiating off the sliver indicate that it's similar to a Chaos Emerald, yet from the immense power it's giving off appears to have fire-based properties. And judging by the opaqueness and density, it's not even an emerald; it's sapphire. And unlike the fake emeralds they've encountered, this gem was created magically rather than artificially. So, there really is another type of gem out there capable of possessing another kind of magic other than Chaos Energy. And to add more to the mystery, Danny finds two quills, one white and one...yellow, the latter gaining the attention of the black hedgehog. He has that feeling again, the same one he felt when he and Rouge were on Planet Cascade. It's as if he recognizes the quill. Rouge notices his gaze, and had the same feeling as well. That quill is...Maria's! But...how? Vector, Charmy, and Espio are confused by the name until Shadow explained about who she was and how close he was to her for a very long time until the so-called accident occurred 50 years ago. Everyone just lowered their heads in sympathy for Shadow after learning of his loss. Chris has already told his friends about the Ultimate Lifeform after clearing up Sonic's name of the crimes he was framed for, and Cosmo could symphatize how Shadow felt when she lost her planet and her people, including her family. The only memory he had after being launched in the capsule was that flash of light from inside the space research station, and he witnessed the very same thing when he and Rouge were on Planet Cascade fighting against the Metarex, and a note had mysteriously appeared before them written by this "M.R". Then, something clicked in place. Years ago, before having started a business in a makeshift bar of their agency, Vector, Charmy and Espio found a note that was tied with the remaining Cascade Freedom Fighters, Leon and his friends, as it was written with the same initials. Cosmo took out one of her rose petals that also has the same initials, confirming no doubt that they're written by the same person. So, how could the quill be Maria's unless... she's changed somehow? Or, could this be a clone of the original who was supposedly killed since the raid on the ARK? Shadow dismisses it, however, as it's impossible for anyone to survive on the ARK, even with a terminal condition. But even with the evidence, it's not enough to lead them to the assailants, or clear their friends' names. That is, until Helen spotted another quill. This time, it's ginger-colored and judging by how long it is compared to a hedgehog's, it belonged to an echinda.

Unfortunately, they have to end the video contact before the press and soldiers show, but not before promising to report back if they find anything out of the ordinary. While that's happening, Tails traces the energy levels from the sliver to determine the location where an emerald and a sapphire would coexist magically. So far, there's nothing on Mobius that fits the description, and they've been to many planets in the galaxy where a Chaos Emerald is located, but nothing out of the ordinary. The Master Emerald would be considered a possible source, but it's mainly for Chaos Emeralds, not "firey sapphires" as Knuckles puts it. Somehow, his statement gave Tails an idea. The emeralds and sapphires wouldn't just be magical gemstones of immense power, they would also be seeds of immense power. What if there is a source where gems are produced on the same branch, like on a tree? A Cardinal tree, which Sonic confuses that to be a tree be full of Cardinal birds as Shadow was correcting him that Tails was referring to a family of gemstones, much to the shock of others. And if there is one anywhere in the galaxy, they'd find the assailants, but they need to know who they're dealing with.

Thankfully, Espio recalls of a certain squirrel he and his friends have recruited recently after the battle with the Metarex to be the eyes and ears on the cases they've solved. While Vanilla stayed home, with Vector and Charmy keeping company, Espio takes the others with him to what looks like an upgraded Café Chaotix where one of the new recruits is currently working inside. To say that Sonic and his friends are astonished is an understatement. The last time they've been in their agency, Vector, Charmy, and Espio had to use it as a makeshift restaurant to make enough money for purchasing new engine parts, as well as build a new agency since the old one was destroyed upon breaking into one of Metarex ships. Now, everything is high-tech as they are able to upgrade their own spaceship and alter it with refurbished salvageable parts from other spaceships, as well as battleships, that have been destroyed since the on-going war with the Metarex. There is a bar stand, a refreshments lounge, and even a music stage where Vector would provide entertainment for the crowd, only now there's room for more than one musician. The walls are even plastered with posters of Honey Brand Clothes And Accessories, which sponsored Café Chaotix in providing designs for employment uniforms. And the staff serving the customers are Leon and his friends from Cascade, and other Mobians. Sitting at the bartender's stand is the new recruit himself, Ray the Flying Squirrel. When he saw Espio with Sonic and his friends, Ray welcomed them with special drinks of their choice on the house before going straight to business. While no one was looking, he leads them to a back room, which is an upgraded version of their old agency office, to discuss a serious matter. He heard the news from Vanilla through Vector about the attack on Chris's world and there have been rumors to believe that one of the members who assisted in the attack is said to be Honey since she is a Mobian cat. But Ray refuses to believe that rumor for he's known Honey for years and never would he think of her participating in the attack on another planet. With no other alternative, Espio had to bring in Honey for questioning to hear her side of the story. The fashionista confessed to hearing about the attack and had a feeling that the gossip about one of the assailants being a cat. Surprisingly, she knows this cat, Princess Blaze of Soleanna, and Honey was her Lady Royal. When Shadow asked about the lead assailant being a yellow hedgehog, Honey answered yes, despite not being able to identify who it is, and was asked to design an outfit for that she may "start a new life" as the yellow hedgehog puts it, which she did but never got the answer why. When Honey welcomed her into her studio, Blaze gave her something that has helped her overcome the new changes in her personal life: an Angel Sapphire pendant, which was exactly what the sliver Chris and his friends found came from. When Honey got a call from Vector to design a new agency and a new restaurant, the yellow hedgehog was already gone and Blaze with her. Ray added that he heard the Chaotix was hiring new recruits that he jumped the chance and that was how he met Honey. When the restaurant was being constructed, Vector gave him an assignment to be the eyes and ears and report back to him. He hasn't seen the hedgehog or Blaze, but he remembered seeing something that might give them a clue where they were hiding in refuge. Ray taps on a table and it turns into a touchscreen tabletop computer to reveal that he's been taking pictures from his previous assignment. Someone keeps teleporting from one planet to the next, not with Chaos Control, but with special Power Rings that allows efficient transportation for a longer distance than short distance. From the pictures, it looks like a scrawny, brown-furred badger, who's face is masked unfortunately, and he's been using the rings to teleport from Mobius to the one planet they've been to before; Planet Hobidon. And it has the one landmark that fits Tails's description: a Cardinal tree. Speaking of Tails, the two-tailed fox gets a message from Chris that he and his friends found the few missing pieces of evidence from the crime scene; a tuft of lavender fur, one emerald green feather, and purple feather, and it's just the motivation they needed to go to Planet Hobidon.

After picking up Vector and Charmy, Shadow opens a portal with his rings through the power of the Master Emerald to Planet Hobidon where the Cardinal tree would be. The planet looks so lush with greenery ever since its Planet Egg has been returned to its rightful spot, despite of it no longer having its inhabitants. They've have managed to find a campsite close to the tree, which they took as a sign that the assailants can't be far. But none have any idea where or when they would strike, so Sonic suggests they each person will split up into groups; Amy will be paired with Rouge, Cream is with Tails, Knuckles is with Cosmo, Sonic is with Shadow, despite the latter's refusal, and Vector and Charmy will stay at the campsite while Espio scouts ahead. The minute they left, Vector gets caught in a net trap when Charmy wasn't looking. One by one, the assailants ambush the rest of Sonic's teammates. Cream and Tails are knocked out of the sky, leaving Tails unconscious; Amy and Rouge were trapped in a cave after Rouge was distracted by a variety of jewels; and Cosmo, while attempting to listen to one of the trees for answers, runs for her life downhill after large logs suddenly begin rolling down towards her and would have fallen into the river if Knuckles hadn't pushed her out of the way. Sonic, Shadow and Espio were not ambushed as the black hedgehog spots the only two blue-clad assailants, both wearing borongs, one white and one light blue with the latter sitting in a fighter jet. One of the two spots the hedgehogs and the purple chameleon, and they took off in an instant, giving Sonic, Shadow and Espio a chase in pursuit. Apparently, the boys aren't having any luck as the piloting assailant showed exceptionally incredible flight maneuvers around the gorge. While Sonic and Shadow kept in pursuit, Espio turned invisible to get ahead and turned visible after they passed him so that he has more time to plan a counterattack. The assailants could see that the two hedgehogs aren't letting up, so they decided to trick them with a surprise attack. As they turned around the corner with a tree levitating next to them, the assailants flew straight past the hedgehogs. They were able to get a glimpse of the assailants' eyes as they are both blue, but one of them in the back seem very familiar to Shadow. They looked so pure, so kind, and yet so loving. He was so distracted by those eyes, that he doesn't notice the tree flying towards him and Sonic until the latter did and push themselves out of the way. Whoever the assailants are, they sure knew what they were doing. As the hedehogs speed up after the fighter jet, Shadow gives Espio the signal to stop it in its tracks, causing it to crash to the ground and throwing the assailants out of their seats. And before they could get back on, Sonic, Shadow and Espio land behind them with Shadow warning them not to move or he will attack. But then, the boys find themselves completely surrounded by the other assailants including the same badger they saw from Ray's photos. Everyone is at a standstill as they're waiting for signal to attack, but if anyone tries to move, someone could get hurt. The white masked assailant looked to his partner who glances back and they both nod as he gestures his followers to lower their weapons before turning to the boys saying "I wouldn't either". The voice sounded female and so familiar to Shadow, but that's not the only surprise. The assailant lowers her borong to reveal her yellow quills and a familiar face that only Shadow knows too well. It's Maria! She's alive! Her partner did the same to reveal ginger-colored dreadlocks tied into a ponytail with a familiar-looking white headband that even Shadow recognizes; Molly! But as an echidna? How?

An hour later, they're back at Maria and her team's campsite, who have revealed their faces as well. Before Maria could introduce them, Sonic's team voiced their feelings of displeasure for what they did prior to them, but Maria reasons them that she's been on her own for years until meeting Molly and a few others along the way while also making a few enemies. She was only trying to send Sonic's team and the Chaotix back to Mobius so that they wouldn't get involved. Sonic may have not known Maria long like Shadow did, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't offer her temporary provisions to catch up, which she politely turns down until Shadow insists for her and his own sake to trust Sonic, and he didn't want one of his closest friends to be alone like he was all those years ago. Feeling touched by his kindness, Maria finally gives in, much to the Ultimate Lifeform's relief. Unbeknownst to the others, Shadow really wanted to know what "enemies" she was referring to.

An hour or so later, Sonic's team and the Chaotix are at Cream's house to learn about how Maria met Molly, Blaze, and a few others on her travels through the galaxy. Before she could answer that question, the white hedgehog, Silver attempted to woo her into telling his side of the story on how they met until the brown badger, Sticks threw him away from her, to Knuckles' interests. Jet and Wave, the emerald green hawk and the purple sparrow, playfully warn the others that Silver has been acting like this ever since Maria came to Mobius when another female voice comes in stating that when it comes to girls, he has a "gift" all on his own. That voice belonged to the one Mobian they haven't seen in a long time; Princess Sally Acorn! Maria finally told them that she owes it all to Sonic's team, especially Shadow, who is both stunned and confused by that statement since he was the only one who escaped during the raid. Silver, who recovered from his knockout, tries showing off by saying he was the one who taught Maria everything he knows, even though it was both him and Blaze who taught her how to control her Chaos powers, much to Shadow's annoyance. And before Silver could brag any further, Molly knocks him out this time with her rapier whip, which not only amused Shadow, but also intrigued Espio since he's never met someone so well-versed in both piloting and weapons. Not to mention one so beautiful, no matter what she looks like.

Now that the commotion has died down a bit, Maria finally tells her story of how she was still alive all these years, and how she met her friends. It all started on the ARK when she was human. She was about to join with Shadow to look out the window when one of her grandfather's assisting scientists called her over to administer a serum that will cure her of the illness she's contracted at an early age. After that was done, the ARK was raided with Gerald Robotnik already apprehended and Shadow and Maria running from the soldiers. Maria prepares to launch Shadow when one of the GUN members, Schmitz warned her to step away from the controls with Shadow banging the glass to get out. She grips the lever, ignoring protests from both sides and though she can't explain it, she's suddenly got the strength to fight back. Schmitz warns Maria again, but she doesn't listen as she pulls the lever, releasing the capsules and forcing the soldier to pull the trigger. Somehow, Maria sensed it and the bullet stops halfway just before it hits her, dissolving into dust. He drops his gun in shock and is suddenly teleported off the ARK due to Maria using Chaos Control. But more soldiers keep coming and with no other way out of the station, Maria did the impossible; she encased herself in a crystal to protect herself and hidden from the soldiers so she can ride it out. Even though it's been 50 years since the raid, it felt like an eternity for Maria, and she had no idea what changes she will be experiencing when she wakes up. Then, one day, the moment Shadow was re-awakened by Dr. Eggman, Maria wakes up as well and broke out of her crystal, but was changed; she's now a full-fledged hedgehog.

Everything is all quiet on the ARK and bits of her memory started to come back as she remembered what happened and where Shadow is. She Chaos Controlled herself to Earth and began her search for her friend. And because of her bond with him, she has shares a telepathic link with him so she can find him. She starts at Prison Island, where her grandfather was imprisoned and Shadow's escape capsule was kept. But to her shock and dismay, she finds her grandfather's cell empty, which means that the government had already taken his life and judging by the equation written on the wall, he had been planning for revenge against humanity and manipulated Shadow's memories of Maria to do it. When she finds the capsule empty as well, Maria can see into his memories who has re-awakened him from suspended animation; Dr. Eggman. Because of her connection with him, she's been using Chaos Control to all the places he's been to, up until she no longer senses him on Earth, which is prior to when Sonic escaped from Prison Island.

A while later, when Dr. Eggman used the Chaos Emeralds to power up the Eclipse Cannon, Maria had a feeling that Shadow would be back on the ARK, and there was no way she could teleport herself at such a distance farther away from Earth, with or without a Chaos Emerald of her own. And if she knew her grandfather well, he'd have other plans to exact his revenge on humanity. Her theory is proven sound when she hears her grandfather's voice announcing of a countdown marking his final revenge on Earth. She could hear how broken he sounded when he thought his granddaughter was killed that day. She loves her grandfather and she can only hope Shadow puts an end to his plan once and for all. The Space Colony ARK is back in orbit as Maria hears Shadow saying that he's saved the people of Earth for her until she no longer hears him. But she can still sense that he's alive and out there, somewhere. And after everything the people have been through, she's not sure how they might react knowing that the only survivor of the raid on the ARK turned into a hedgehog, so she kept her identity hidden from the world and avoided being seen by anyone who used to be a GUN soldier. With every ounce of strength she has left, Maria Chaos Controlled herself onto the ARK to take care of one more thing Shadow may have left behind or has forgotten about; Gerald's timer. Just like with the bullet, she focused her power on the timer and it disintegrated into dust, so that her grandfather's work can no longer be taken or destroyed. After that, she teleported into another location on Earth; the Chaotix Detective Agency. Even though she's been to Earth up close for a brief moment, she's only seen places she's been to and many she has yet to see, and this agency is one of them. When she learned of Sonic's world and Chris's world beginning to meld, which is likely to cause time to stop in place, she was already exhausted from all the teleporting she's done recently and has been resting in the Chaotix's place since they've left to go and find Sonic and his friends at Chris's house. And when it came time for Sonic and his friends to leave, Maria figured that she couldn't stay on Earth because she's a hedgehog and people wouldn't react kindly to her if she tries to do anything normal now. So, she left with the Chaotix, undetected.

On Mobius, the planet has never looked so beautiful to Maria. Compared to how she's viewed Earth from space, everything is so peaceful, so precious, and yet so fragile. She can only imagine how Shadow must have felt when he saw Earth up close, if only she knew where he is and why can't find him. But like Earth itself, it even has its own city; Mobitropolis. And like every other city, it even has its own problems. A few of its inhabitants homeless on the streets, pickpockets stealing from the aristocrats just to survive, and many innocent people taken from their homes to be enslaved into robotic versions of themselves. This is the work of Dr. Eggman, and Maria had already known from her time on Earth that he is always plotting for world domination. Maria is not the one to fight, but she isn't the one to leave someone at the mercy of a tyrannical leader either. Plucking up the courage, she goes to attack the robot soldiers, allowing the captives to escape, but not before confronting those who have been roboticized. It's a heartbreaking sight for Maria to see this many people having been stripped of their free will and transformed into robotic slaves. How can she save them without hurting them? Unknown to Maria, few of the victims who were partially roboticized sees this, allowing one of them an opportunity to send a message flare in the sky, signalling those who have been hiding in the shadows since the beginning of Dr. Eggman's empire; Blaze, Silver, Sticks, Princess Sally Acorn, Jet, Wave, Stripes, Cyrus, Antoine Mont-D'Bleu, Spike, Tiara Boobowski, and Shard the original Metal Sonic. Before any of the roboticized slaves could attack, Blaze holds them back with emeralds of her own that are the same color as Chaos Emeralds: Sol Emeralds. Silver goes next to knock back a few soldiers with his Psychokinesis, even making a few take each other out. Sticks breaks out the captives with Antoine escorting them to safety, and Princess Sally reprogramming the soldiers with Nicole, her AI assistant. With that happening, Jet and Wave finds a few partially roboticized victims who have been working for the Freedom Fighters discreetly and take them to the de-roboticizing chamber away from the fight.

Stripes drives in with military caravans hijacked and hacked by Cyrus to transport any thieves hiding for refuge, while Shard comes in to assist Silver in blasting the roboticized slaves, but not enough to harm them since they're still the innocent civilians under Dr. Eggman's control. Unfortunately, more SWATbots arrive just as Spike and Tiara come in to fight, overwhelming the Freedom Fighters. Maria has never seen such teamwork like that, and it reminded her of how she was helping Shadow escape. And just as the SWATbots are about to trap them, she jumped in and with so much strength and courage in her, Maria unleashes a special power none thought possible; a Chaos Fury attack. The blast not only destroyed the SWATbots, but also de-roboticized the victims, giving them free will from Eggman's control. No one on Mobius has witnessed that kind of power before, nor has ever done it. The Freedom Fighters surround Maria, who seems unsure what their reaction, until a cheer broke the silence and soon, everyone joined in, commending Maria for her act of bravery and stepping in to join the resistance against everything to do with Eggman. This is how she met the Freedom Fighters and became their leader, with Princess Sally taking back her place on the throne, and restoring peace to Mobius once again. After a proper introduction, Maria told them her story about what she used to be, where'd she came from, and that she was looking for a friend. They were both interested and felt their hearts break for her after what she had to go through as a human, but understood completely why she left Earth. And when they offer her help, she politely declines for this is something has to do alone, but she can't make herself known just yet with Eggman still out there. That's when Blaze walks her to her friend, Honey's fashion studio. While Maria's new outfit is being made, Blaze and Silver gave Maria lessons in mastering the power of Chaos energy with Sticks teaching her hand-to-hand combat. After completing her training and aquiring a new outfit, Maria leaves the city...only to find the land of Mobius completely barren with trees dying and no longer lush with greenery. This is definitely not Dr. Eggman's doing; he only wanted to conquer the world, not steal its life force. And her powers of deduction are proven once again as she saw the reason why this is happening; a Metarex battleship. She had to find out what it's doing here and why the planet is dying. She got her answer when she found Sonic and Knuckles battling against the Metarex and Tails in his fighter jet with Cosmo as she heard of its kind stealing Planet Eggs from other planets to unify them under their rule. When Maria heard of Cosmo's planet being destroyed by the Metarex, her heart breaks for her, for she knew how she felt when she lost her grandfather and everything else on the Space Colony ARK. Well, almost everything. Shadow is still alive somewhere, and for some reason, she still couldn't sense him anywhere on Earth. When Maria heard that the team and Cosmo were going into space, she had to go with them, but without being seen. All she could do is stay out of the fight if they happen to come across the Metarex fleet or if they land on another planet. It wasn't until her prayers are answered when she sensed a familiar presence on Planet Hobidon, where one of the Metarex sets a trap for Sonic, Amy, and Knuckles with an illusion of an abandoned castle. The Metarex Deserd is soon defeated and Sonic, Amy and Knuckles are saved by a gold blur, but not just any blur; it was Shadow! He's alive! And before Maria could make herself known, the black hedgehog disappears. She can still sense where he went, though; in Eggman's spaceship. As much as she wanted to, she can't risk revealing herself in front of Shadow or Eggman. All she can do for now is wait.

While the Blue Typhoon travels through space, Maria has spent a lot of time figuring out why she wasn't able to sense Shadow's presence on Earth; she didn't think he'd be off-world the whole time, and should've known that when she sensed him earlier...so why was she able to sense him just then? He had to have been in stasis again, which would explain his sudden appearance. Admittedly, she's glad to see him again, but none of it eases her about why she was unable to sense him later on. Which means that he was enclosed in another part of space that was meant to block off any access of sensing him. Even so, she can still hear his thoughts from afar and see him struggling to remember everything that has happened over the past years. A moment later, Rouge contacted the Blue Typhoon about another Metarex called Scarship having destroyed Eggman's spaceship...which was where Shadow is on. But it did nothing to deter Maria in her spirit of believing. If she knew Shadow, he's still alive and possibly worn out from his battle with the Metarex. Her beliefs are proven to be right when she saw Shadow out and about against Scarship, though it did nothing to penetrate its defenses. It was then she notices something was off when Shadow called Sonic "stranger" all of sudden. Looks like the use of Chaos Control didn't just wear him out; it also caused him to have temporary amnesia after stopping time on the Space Colony ARK. So far, he was able to stop time from advancing around the Metarex ship with just one Chaos Emerald, but only for 90 seconds, which is enough time to use the Sonic Power Cannon to finally destroy the battleship and allowing Eggman to escape with the black hedgehog onboard. And when both parties arrive to infiltrate the Metarex space fortress, Maria heard Shadow's cries as he is starting to remember her name and feeling his pain, telepathically. Oh, how she wanted to go straight for Shadow and give him a hug, but the last thing she wanted is to force him should she reveal herself to him. Her thoughts are occupied finally when an entire battalion of Metarex ships show up out of nowhere to destroy their own fortress, which resulted in creating a gravitational field, drawing in the battleships into the vortex, and supposedly killing one of their own, commander Red Pine.

Now, it looks the same thing will happen to the Crimson Egg as they can't break away from the vortex's pull towards it. As she watches Shadow flying towards the spaceship, Maria Chaos Controlled inside to help him teleport it to safety away from harm, rendering them both exhausted. As the Blue Typhoon recovers from their encounter with the Metarex fleet with Tails repairing the Chaotix's ship, Maria decided to stay on the Crimson Egg to watch over Shadow while he's resting so that he's not alone other than Dr. Eggman and Rouge watching over him. And when Sonic finds Chris and Cosmo hurt from Black Narcissus' assault, Maria could feel the dark energy from the counterfeit Chaos Emeralds, which not only caused Sonic to transform into Dark Sonic, but also sparked a darkness in Maria as well. She can only hope that Shadow's presence will be enough to prevent her from ending up like Sonic.

When the Crimson Egg warped to a battle between the Metarex and the Cascade Resistance, Shadow managed to intervene with Maria, maintaining her invisibility, saving a few remaining fighters with Chaos Control and avoiding enemy fire without getting shot at. They are then escorted by Molly, captain of the Freedom Fighters, to their planet with Rouge tagging along, only just so she can get to the Chaos Emerald first before Shadow does. While Eggman is receiving praises and thanks from Leon and his comrades, Maria senses something off with Leon when she noticed tension in his body movements after talking to Molly about where to find Metarex files in a safe deposit box where a Chaos Emerald is hidden. No doubt something that he's hiding something from Molly. There's no way they have been sitting there for that long without anyone noticing unless he's setting her up. Once again, Maria's intuition is proven sound as Molly opened a cabinet above the safe deposit box...with a bomb inside! Luckily, Shadow was able to Chaos Control them out of there just as it exploded. Just then, a whole fleet of Metarex ships arrived on Cascade, as it is no coincidence that Leon and his friends have formed a deal with the Metarex that they had to make sure Molly is out of way, who is in denial on the whole ordeal.

And speaking of Leon, the young Cascadian comrade is conversing with Pale Bayleaf as they come to terms on alliance, for they were so tired of fighting and losing so many fighters every day. Unbeknownst to them, someone is listening in on the conversation and it's not just Dr. Eggman, who heard about the plan to capture the evil scientist and deliver him to the Metarex. Maria had to stay behind so she can keep an eye on Leon, and after having heard what was going on with him, she Chaos Controlled out of there in hopes that she can save somebody from an unfortunate fate. While Shadow and Rouge try to stop a distraught Molly from going into battle and failed, Eggman had already threw the Cascadian pilots out of the sky and into the ground just as Pale Bayleaf arrived to take the evil scientist, only for the Metarex commander to broker the deal on the fact that Leon and his friends have failed. When Molly sees this, she was already hurt to learn the truth and furious that Leon would turn his back on his own planet. Shadow reminds Molly that he'll always be there anytime she needs him, just like in the Black Wind story of hers. Hearing Shadow's concern and support for Molly is enough to motivate Maria into saving Leon and his team from an unfortunate fate that's just waiting to happen with Chaos Control. And when she saw Molly go into the sky, she can hear her say that she'll keep fighting and that she'll be back one day. And just as Shadow was about to assist her towards the fleet, Maria came into view, having dropped her invisibility but kept her identity hidden, and flew in between Molly and the flagship. Before anyone can ask what is going on, Molly is Chaos Controlled out of her battleship and Maria unleashed her Chaos Fury on the entire Metarex fleet, which was the flash Shadow had seen during his escape from the Space Colony ARK. As Shadow and Rouge ponder on what had just happened, Maria teleported off of Cascade after leaving a note to Shadow to check on Molly, who is unconscious on another planet with a magical crystal tree; an Emerald Tree. As the team recover from the Metarex trap and Vector buying parts for the Blue Typhoon, Maria had asked Blaze and Silver to meet her at the location after helping Shadow and having saved a life or two. When Molly woke up, she finds herself on a planet unfamiliar to her until Maria revealed her own identity and introduces herself, Blaze, and Silver, and telling her that she teleported Maria off of Cascade after saving her former friends from the Metarex. Even though she's thankful for the rescue and selfless act, Molly is still disheartened from the recent events with Leon and the rest of her team. She doesn't know how she can face them, and if she showed her face to anyone in the galaxy, she is likely at the mercy of the Metarex. But Maria never showed any ill will towards the boys when she saved them. She would have left Leon and his friends to be dealt with, but she is not that kind of girl. Instead, she gave them a chance to redeem themselves and start a new life. It was exactly what her grandfather told her about people who have problems have to face them, and why Shadow was created all those years ago; to help those people, just like she did Leon...and Molly. With tears in her eyes, Molly just hugged Maria, letting go her anger of betrayal and hurt. Then, at that moment, the Emerald Tree glowed as if it sensed a pure heart in Molly and her bravery and devotion for her planet. And when she asked for a new start, the unexpected happened. Magic flowed from the tree and surrounded Molly in its glow. When it stopped, Maria, Blaze, and Silver are surprised; Molly is now...an echinda! And she looked, dare they say, beautiful.

Afterwards, while Shadow and Rouge are scouring on a planet filled with a forest of trees, the Blue Typhoon crew have encountered a familiar yet annoying opponent; Yellow Zelkova. Despite his appearance, Maria sensed an aura so faint, it's nearly impossible to tell if this Metarex commander would be capable of redeeming himself or if he's too far gone to be persuaded to change sides. She can only watch as Sonic and his friends set up a trap for Yellow Zelkova to stop him from using the Illuma Shield by attracting lightning towards him, which destroyed the armor but revealing to be an alien species no one familiar with. Knuckles knocks Yellow Zelkova off-balance and just as he's about to fall off the ledge towards the lava, Maria used her Chaos Glyphs to stop him in his place, but kept him in restraints so that he doesn't escape. No one saw Maria, thankfully, as she teleported him to the dark tree planet where Shadow and Rouge were, who had already left after scouring the area. The only thing that stood out on that planet is a green Chaos Emerald, and a fake one at that. And he's not alone as somebody is also on the planet next to him; Red Pine! And without armor of his own from the looks of it, which means that Maria saved him recently before he was sucked into the vortex. As for Shadow and Rouge, they eventually found Leon and his teammates working as waiters at Café Chaotix. Well, only Leon. His teammates are working at another restaurant to earn extra money for Vector's parts and support for their agency. When Leon saw Shadow and Rouge, he suddenly gets flashbacks of the recent events on Cascade and thought about Molly. He can only imagine all the hurt she felt from being betrayed by him and his teammates. She might not look at him the same way again. With no orders to take, Leon leads the two to back room for privacy. The tension is palpable in Leon, as it's going to be hard to talk about everything that's happened until he broke the silence. According to his teammates, the Metarex have placed a bounty on this mysterious "Spacewatcher", whom Maria was nicknamed recently, and demanded to have her sent to them for the consequences of meddling in private affairs and causing an interference in a battlefield of space. The boys were tortured for information, but they didn't give in after claiming not to have seen where she went or where'd she came from, and the Metarex troops left. Leon was grateful that his friends are spared, but the memories of the threat and interrogation they were given scarred him emotionally. It was after the Metarex troops left that Leon pickpocketed from one of them to give to Shadow and Rouge; a memory chip. He only asked them to take down the Metarex and tell Molly that he's sorry.

With Maria, she's heard Leon's voice through Shadow, and it sounded more remorse than selfish and cold-hearted that she wondered if she could get Molly to talk to Leon, even though they had a falling out. She had to at least try, or otherwise Molly would never forgive herself if something happened to Leon. And when Molly was informed about it, she pondered on those words for a moment before agreeing to it. Reluctantly, of course. Maria opened the portal with her Angel Sapphire pendant for Molly go through, so she can talk to Leon; that is, if he recognizes her in a different form. The portal led Molly directly inside Café Chaotix, and over at the bar stand is Leon, whose back is turned when he's cleaning wine glasses. Luckily for her, the restaurant is closed until tomorrow morning, so there's more time for privacy. She sits at the refreshment lounge and just as Leon was say that the restaurant is closed, he recognizes the echinda in an instant and knew right away that it's Molly, who knows that they were going to talk about a few things but didn't think it had to be sooner than later. The air is pretty tense between them until Leon brought up two drinks so that he doesn't look awkward towards her. Molly is skeptic about it, but she remembered what Maria said to her and decided to drop it so she can listen to whatever he has to say. As the two talk it out, a certain purple chameleon is watching the two while cleaning up, but he's mostly focused on Molly, whom he can't deny looks so beautiful.

As they're talking, Maria is disheartened when she heard Shadow through his thoughts call Cosmo a traitor. He and Rouge raided on the Blue Typhoon to take out Cosmo after hearing what was said from the memory chip about Cosmo being a spy for the Metarex, which the young Seedrian tried to deny until coming to grips after remembering what Dark Oak called her; White Seed. Sure enough, after a thorough analysis by Chris and Tails, there is a microscopic tracking beacon in a part of Cosmo's brain that controls hearing and sight, and it's so small that normal radar wouldn't pick it up. And they feared that if they tried to remove it, Cosmo won't be able to hear or see again. Maria's heart breaks for Cosmo after hearing what the boys said. But the truth is that she did not realize the Metarex had listening in the whole time since she resisted their instructions to obey that they embedded the beacon in her anyway. It wasn't anyone's fault, and Maria could only hope Shadow realizes it before doing anything rash. When Chris told him the same thing, the black hedgehog is insistent on the fact and not convinced about trusting someone who is a spy working for the enemy. But then, Bokkun came crashing out of nowhere to tell him that Dr. Eggman has been taken prisoner by the Metarex. Curious, Maria Chaos Controlled directly inside the Blue Typhoon to listen in. From what she heard, Dr. Eggman has been recording info about this thousand-year wait ending and night and day becoming one. Whatever this event is about, it's likely to happen again. Maria left the carrier before the others came back and they took off in space, but not before hearing Dr. Eggman sending the coordinates 000 just as the video ended. She only wanted to be with Shadow so that he doesn't hurt Cosmo again. She can see him pondering on Chris's words meaning that he's starting to come to his senses even after attacking their "friend". And just as he's about to leave, someone called out to him and he turned to source of the voice. It was Vector, Charmy, and Espio. Apparently, they have been following the Blue Typhoon and got caught in the light that brought them to Green Gate. This gives Maria the opportunity to get on Vector's ship before they did. After all, they did warn Sonic, Amy, Knuckles and Chris about the bounty on their heads and provided refuge for them while Vector was out shopping for ship parts, and they gave Leon and his teammates a chance of redemption to make up for turning their backs on their planet and attempted to eliminate Molly. She owed them so much for everything they've done, and deserve something far more valuable than money can provide. They then arrived at the location where Dr. Eggman said he'd be, and the fight between their friends and the Metarex is happening. In his haste, Shadow takes the throttle and sneaks into the Metarex's mother ship while Maria uses her tangibility to phase through the wall without detection and damage to the agency. No one asked when was Shadow able to learned that power, nor did anyone see Maria snuck onboard. As they go to battle the Metarex, Maria had to stay behind to watch their spaceship...so she can leave a big surprise before they get back. Using her Angel Sapphire pendant, Maria opened a few portals to teleport stray ship parts from space inside the Chaotix's agency so that they will have all the upgrades needed for space travel, maintaining their business, and providing refuge for a few stragglers they come across along the way. Besides, she thought that their restaurant was pretty cool!

But then, the Metarex's ship starts to break apart, which is bad news for anyone that's on board, but also good news for Maria because now she can use the pieces from the ship to create a container for storing the parts so that there's no mess inside the agency and around the spaceship, while using the remains to shield the building. Soon, the Chaotix came back with Dr. Eggman in tow after Chris freed him and his robot minions from prison. They've all managed to get out of there just as the last of pieces float away to reveal what the Metarex have been hiding; a massive tree with the three commanders standing on its branches. And then came something unexpected; Planet Aqurius, and within it is a Planet Egg. This was part of the Metarex's plan all this time--to start a forestation and reach the Final Mova stage with the power of seven Chaos Emeralds harnessed by Dark Oak. Maria has never seen anything like this, and she can only wonder what this means for the whole galaxy. When Eggman states that it will be taken over by plants and all animal lifeforms will be wiped out, she thought about Molly, Blaze, Silver, and everybody she's made friends with on Mobius. And when she saw Sonic get swallowed by one of heads, that looked like the final straw. She can't let the Metarex win. So, she went into space and battled them with Shadow. As Chris connects power from the Crimson Egg to channel the Master Emerald's energy into the Sonic Power Cannon, Shadow gets trapped in Dark Oak's vines, and Maria wanted to help but that would mean exposing herself to the Metarex if she tried to free him. So, all she can do is pull him as hard as she can until the three commanders are incapacitated. Sure enough, the cannon is fired, killing only Pale Bayleaf and Black Narcissus with Dark Oak remaining in place, yet he still feels the pain in the center where the tree has grown. Sonic is pulled out of the water with Any after she jumped in to save him, and Shadow is released from his restraints, but he doesn't see who freed him because Maria is has been invisible the whole time she's been fighting with him. And when she hugged him knowing that he's safe again, the sensation felt familiar to Shadow somehow, as if someone has been watching over him all this time without him knowing it. For once, he's actually glad that someone followed him, if only he could see who it was. The moment is short-lived when Dark Oak gets swallowed up by the planet itself, and it starts to shrivel up, turning brown and barren while beating like a heart. This fight far from over as the forestation is becoming too strong to stop. Shadow goes in to attack with Maria joining him, as did Sonic and Chris, but the planet emitted an ominous dark purple smoke, repelling all them back towards the Blue Typhoon. With the Master Emerald gone and the seven Chaos Emeralds drained of their power, there's nothing to stop Dark Oak from ruling the galaxy. Suddenly, the barren planet emitted a purple wave, affecting the other planets that have fake emeralds, which is causing trees to grow at a rapid pace. When the wave hits the Blue Typhoon with everyone except Cosmo inside, they start to feel weak as Dark Oak is draining their life energy he can find to spread forestation throughout the galaxy. But Cosmo's not affected by it because since she and Dark Oak come from the same species of plant, she might be able to take the Chaos Emeralds to Dr. Eggman so that he can restore their energy. She believes that it is possible for both plant and animal species to coexist peacefully, just like how she made friends with Tails and the the others, and declaring that there's still time to stop his plan. Dark Oak, however, heard that declaration and tries to undermine his own daughter, for she could never beat the Metarex. But Cosmo didn't hold back, pushing further by saying that there's hope for a better future; a future of true peace, and that's kind of future she and her friends are fighting for. But then, a red aura is emitted from the planet instead of purple this time, affecting the vines next to her to knock her into a wall, causing her to lose the Chaos Emeralds. Soon, everyone stopped losing energy...because the Planet Egg is responding to the Chaos Emeralds due to the life force from other planets the Metarex have stolen. The seven Chaos Emeralds surrounded Sonic, Shadow and Maria, and with Super Sonic and Super Shadow comes...Super Maria! And it didn't matter if anyone saw her without her invisibility, or if her identity remains hidden. All that mattered is that she's helping Sonic and Shadow stop the Metarex. They fly towards the cocoon and sure enough, it splits apart and it seems like the fight is won...until Dr. Eggman notices something was wrong as he sees the levels of that planet began to reverse, like it's imploding. When the smoke cleared up, the planet is still standing as it now has a black appearance. Because of the energy from the Planet Egg, the three hedgehogs only stopped the Metarex from transforming the galaxy, prompting them to just destroy it by crushing its Planet Egg. Supers Sonic, Shadow and Maria all spin-dash towards the planet, only for them to stop in place due to the gravitational force surrounding it. The three push against it, but even with the combined powers, it's not enough to break through it. Super Shadow is about to take off his ring when Super Sonic warns him not to take it off just yet. If he had taken it off now, he'll only exhaust himself. Shadow nods in agreement, stopping himself. Their only chance for saving the galaxy is to launch Sonic at the gravity field with the Power Cannon in one shot. But it's too risky, for the force could be too much for his to take, so chances are that Sonic wouldn't might not survive the attack. But they have to try. Everyone relented and they got work. Chris began routing all the energy in the network to the power cannon, and Decoe transfers all power to the Blue Typhoon by cutting off the Crimson Egg's power supply and setting it to the Sonic Power Cannon. It's dead silence in space as everyone waits in anticipation for something. No one said a word when Bokkun asked if Sonic has a chance of saving the galaxy. Nor did anyone know how to answer it. But then, Cosmo soon gains confidence from her mother, Earthia to save the galaxy and her clan if she believes in herself. She's now sure that this is what she's meant to do. At that moment, the amulet on her dress breaks apart as she transforms into her own stage of Mover Mode. She flies through the force field with ease, and she merges with Final Mova, a cherry blossom tree appears on top with its roots spreading halfway across the artificial planet as Cosmo now has Dark Oak immobilized so that they can launch the cannon and save the galaxy. But that would also mean killing Cosmo, which makes it so hard for Tails because if he doesn't pull the trigger, the galaxy will be destroyed anyway. As Super Sonic flies back to the Blue Typhoon, Super Maria is hesitant on the matter. She may not have known Cosmo that long, but that's their friend out there. There must be something she could do. She looks at herself for a moment, and wonders if...

The cannon is set to aim at Final Mova...and Cosmo with it. Super Sonic flies inside the cannon preps himself, ready to finish Dark Oak once and for all. Super Shadow joins him in the cannon, Super Maria having mysteriously disappeared because she turned invisible once again. Soon, the cannon powers up and gains its energy as the two hedgehogs spin around at high speeds. Eggman announces the attack, but Tails hesitates to press the button. The doctor senses this as he knows how hard this must be for the fox, but the galaxy is in danger and time is running out. This needs to be done; Cosmo has to carry out her destiny to save the galaxy and they have to help her, but Tails can't bring himself to kill the one he loved most. The Seedrian hears his voice and reassures him that everything will be alright, for not only will they defeat the Metarex, but also the seeds of her clan will spread throughout the galaxy. Tails understands this, prompting him to fire Super Sonic and Super Shadow at the Final Mova, resulting in the destruction of the cannon. And just as the blast reaches towards the tree, Super Maria joins the two hedgehogs and absorbs its energy to get ahead of them so she can pull Cosmo out of the line of fire before it hits.

Final Mova is destroyed...but so is Cosmo it seems. Tails bawls over what he has done, saying how much he loves her. Suddenly, he felt something touch his face and looks up to see...Cosmo! She's alive! Tears of joy fell as Tails jumped up and hugged her as tight like she could disappear again. Cosmo assured him that she could never leave Tails. Super Maria is watching the sweet sight with Super Sonic and Super Shadow joining her, smiling. Now that the black hedgehog knew the truth, he was no longer going after her. Lucas, who was Dark Oak then, realizes his mistake and Earthia forgives him by offering her hand to go in peace with her. There's one more task to take care of so that Cosmo's seeds can spread throughout the galaxy and find new places to grow. And for good reason because the planet is about to release all of its energy, and everybody won't have time to get away. Super Sonic was about to use Chaos Control when Super Shadow stopped him by punching him in the gut, sending him into space. The Ultimate Lifeform releases his Limiters so that he can use his Chaos Control to stop time from advancing around the planet, while Super Maria uses her Chaos Fury to contain the explosion without affecting the release of the Planet Eggs so that they can return to their respective planets.

It was after when it happened that Maria teleported an unconscious Shadow to Earth, hidden from society so that he's safe and out of harm's way. As soon as she got back to Mobius, she found Molly injured from her fight with the SWATbots, and Leon and his teammates are nowhere to be seen. Molly held her own, but she needed to be nursed back to health. And when she got better, Maria used the training from Blaze and Silver after watching Sonic and his friends' battle with the Metarex. Since then, she claims confidently they are an unstoppable force that no one would even dare take down. But Shadow notices a new "dark" tone in her voice, which is not only concerning for him but also certainly out of character for her, with Rouge noticing this too. Maria then brags that Molly's rapier whip, whom she redesigned her gun from, by demonstrating how one crack of the whip can shock an opponent into paralysis, and she can easily throw darts with it from 100 feet away. Amy is excited to finally meet Maria and Molly, even though they never got to see them as humans before they transformed into what they are now. And she likes how hardcore and intense she is. Shadow agrees, but he's not sure what to make of her. Amy reminds him that it's been 50 years since he's last seen Maria, for that they were young as well growing up. Rouge, however, agrees with Shadow on the matter for how close they were, and that she was kind, selfless and not...edgy like she is now. Sonic agrees with them both, knowing that edgy is one thing but attacking government bases on Earth is another, urging Shadow to try and ask Maria about the latter. Despite seeing it from their point of view, Amy still likes the new Maria all the same, telling them to wait until after she asks her about Molly's rapier whip so she can do the same with her hammer. In an instant, Maria, Molly and Sticks get into fighting positions with weapons in hand and glyphs summoned while Vector, Knuckles and Charmy charge right at them until the three girls blocked their attacks and takes them with ease. Feeling proud her point is proven, Amy then charges at them with her hammer. Sonic urges Shadow to go and talk to Maria until he gives the blue hedgehog a look that means "not when she's sparring with Amy", which he gets the idea admittedly. When Sonic asks Espio to go and talk to Maria, he obliged immediately, but only because he wanted to get to know Molly.

As the sun sets, Maria urges her team to eat up for they're going to need all the strength they could get for what they've got coming when Shadow finally took the chance to go and talk to her. When he brought up the subject about attacking bases, he had to ask her what she was doing all by herself. Maria simply responded she was taking care of business and it's nothing for him to worry about. But Shadow says otherwise when it comes to taking care of business, and that's mainly his thing, not someone as kind as Maria. She tries to get him to drop the matter, saying that a lot has changed over the years since she's made enemies. Shadow tries to dwell into the matter, knowing that this isn't the same Maria he's been friends with for so long, only for her to threaten with leaving until he gently remarked that no one is making her leave. But then, something sparked in Shadow. When he looks at those eyes, he can still see the same girl he's been close to all those years, no matter what she is. During his time on the ARK, Shadow has always had that feeling whenever he's with Maria, like there was something about her that makes his dark days go away. And whenever they're looking out into space, she is always comfortable with his company, no matter their differences. To him, she was more than a friend, for she's a special friend. He looked like he's about to cry as hugged her as tight as possible, stating how afraid he was that he'd never saw her again, that he couldn't save her on account of the many soldiers raiding the space research station. Maria reassured him that he did save her. That was the purpose her grandfather was referring to; saving his granddaughter. And just like with Molly, Shadow promises he'll always be right where she needs him, whatever problems she's going through. Despite his assurances, Maria still doesn't want to talk about it, and thanks him for being a good friend to her, making him a little skeptical about her.

That night, Maria planned to flee with Molly, Blaze, Silver, Sticks, Jet, and Wave, but not before sealing the bedrooms shut with her glyphs, preventing all of Sonic's teammates following her. Unbeknownst to them, Shadow witnessed her actions after coming out of hiding with Espio in his invisibility, and Rouge with Sonic and Knuckles. The echinda tagged along because of his infatuation with Sticks and hopes that nothing happens to her on his watch. Rouge had heard Shadow and Maria talking about recent events, and also felt something was off. She saw how concerned he was about Maria, remembering how she spoke in that dark tone earlier about someone wanting to take her and Molly down. Sonic offered his and his friends' assistance, but Shadow turned it down, stating that this is between him and whatever is going on with Maria. But the blue hedgehog pressed on, reminding him that he was the one who insists Maria to trust Sonic in offering provisions, and he saw the way how Shadow looked at Maria since she revealed her face to him. Shadow is reluctant about it, but he accepts the help. Thankfully, Espio called in another recruit for the Chaotix; Jewel the Beetle. She was sent by Vector to follow Maria and her team heading out to what remains of Eggman's base, only to spot something eye-popping that even Sonic needed to see. Curious, Jewel and Rouge follow Maria and her team to the location with the boys in hand to get some answers, and soon enough two cloaked strangers come of the shadows as they descend in front of them, while Rouge, Jewel, Espio, Knuckles, Sonic and Shadow watch from the cliffside where Knuckles once witnessed Chaos Control so that they can listen on why Maria would meet at the spot. Sonic watches as the two cloaked strangers lower their hoods to reveal faces he hasn't seen in such a long time; his long-lost siblings, Sonia and Manic! To the shock of others except Shadow, no one has ever heard those names for years since the hedgehog triplets split up after learning the fate of their mother. When Shadow replies to have never heard of this story, Sonic revealed Sally wasn't always royalty. Back before Sonic and his friends have teleported to Earth, he, Sonia and Manic were separated at birth when Dr. Eggman placed a bounty on their heads and their mother, Queen Aleena had to go into hiding until the whole family is reunited once again to overthrow him. The siblings found each other then, and began their search for the queen, but they had their titles revoked to someone in protection and safety for each other until they find their mother; Sally Acorn. Eventually, the triplets did find her on Mobodoon...but they were too late. She was led into a trap by Dr. Eggman's forces and was overwhelmed by the energy given off by fake Chaos Emeralds, which she used to summon her own Chaos Fury to keep them at bay. Sadly, her victory came with a price. The resulting fury turned her into a disembodied spirit, and the effects seem permanent as the use of her power has also taken her life, for all that remained of Queen Aleena was her crown jewel. After that, the triplets went their separate ways and never saw each other again since then. Shadow looked at Sonic in sympathy as he can only imagine how Maria must've felt when she lost her grandfather and probably her place on Earth after becoming a hedgehog.

Speaking of whom, Maria thanks Sonia and Manic for whatever information they needed as it has been a pleasure doing business with them. Sonia and Manic returned the gesture by saying that the feeling is mutual and that they enjoyed every transaction. After they departed, Shadow decided to interrogate Sonia and Manic on what they knew about Maria. However, they seemed very reluctant on the matter, especially when they see their brother Sonic, not that they're not happy to see him again after so many years of separation. Plus, Knuckles can be scary when questions are not answered, Espio excels with the powers of deduction, Rouge is a real charmcaster when it comes to seducing her opponents, and Jewel can easily put a few pieces together for every case cracked. And Shadow? Well, the resemblance couldn't be any more uncanny as both hedgehogs are rivals of speed, and after learning from what Sally told them about him being close friends with Maria, Sonia and Manic express their condolences upon losing a family member. They were also sworn to secrecy, claiming that no one can part those lips; not even Antoine or Sally Acorn. But Shadow relentlessly pressed on further, reminding them that Maria also has Blaze, another princess, on her team and she's likely to sanction imports and exports of any kind, which is something that scares them the most. Knuckles and Espio followed his lead as they seem get the idea of interrogating witnesses. The two hedgehog siblings relented so that Shadow can ask why was Maria was attacking government bases. They answered that has something to do with her grandfather's life being taken away along with the rest of her family on the ARK and their life's work, by a "group of unwanted visitors" prompting Maria for vengeance. She's made it her personal mission to avenge her home and her family. Manic also adds that she's not "looting" the bases but redistributing back to the victims of the crimes for the horrible crimes they've committed. Every base Maria attacks mean that she is "avenging" what she and her family lost, but nothing can replace lost loved ones. Sonic helps Shadow by cutting to the chase asking where Maria is going. Sonia simply answers it's not where she's going, but who she's going after. Already, Shadow does not like where this is going.

At dawn, Maria and her team had found the government base she was looking for. The base belonged to the one man who stole her grandfather's work and used Shadow to commit crimes that Sonic was framed for; Dr. Eggman. Maria attempts to avenge the death of her parents and for the Space Colony ARK, as she wanted her face to be the last thing Dr. Eggman ever sees. However, Maria expected the evil scientist to be alone, only to discover that it's heavily guarded and secured by his E-Series robots so the Freedom Fighters have no choice but to fly at bay. Unfortunately, Decoe, Nicole, and Bokkun spotted them causing Dr. Eggman to attack. Luckily, Molly, Jet, and Wave were very nimble as Maria, Blaze, Silver and Sticks deflected the attacks. But Eggman wasn't through yet. He issued the attack again with the Egg Spider, capturing Maria by the legs and pulling her towards the ground. Molly and Blaze go to help her, only to be captured by another Egg Spider in one fell swoop. Jet and Wave try to get in close, but they didn't want to be caught in their webby grip. Silver and Sticks pulled Molly and Blaze with all their might as Maria flaps her wings, but it was no use. When she was brought closer towards the fortress, Dr. Eggman recognizes the yellow hedgehog. Of course he'd recognize her. He saw the note Shadow had on Planet Cascade with her initials. After all, they're both related to Gerald Robotnik, which would make them related in a way. Though, something tells Eggman she doesn't know about it...yet. Nevertheless, he orders his robots to pull harder for Maria could be very useful to his plan. The situation gets worse when Jet and Wave become trapped in a grappler beam by a group of E-91's, and just as Maria attempts to free them with a Chaos Spear, her hands are soon caught by the Egg Spiders' web net. At that point, two caravans driven by Stripes and his partner, Luke Periwinkle arrive on the scene with Knuckles, Rouge, and Espio on-board and Sonic and Shadow running side by side. Recently, Sonia and Manic knew how Shadow would react if something were to happen to Molly, that they ask Stripes and Luke to escort them immediately. And the black hedgehog's fears are proven right as they watch in horror of Maria and her team being pulled towards the fortress.

Part 2
Dr. Eggman laughs triumphantly as Maria and her team struggle to break free of his robots' grasp, but to no avail. Sonic, Shadow and Espio attempted to free them under heavy fire by destroying the webs that was pulling them, only to discover their armor is made of Ermurasium, the same metal Sonic and his friends found from the lost city of Murasia on Earth. And not only was it forged to be stronger than regular metal, but also refined in a way to be lighter as well. Maria sees Shadow as they try to think of another way out of this mess, and spots the E-Series Zeta approaching him for an ambush. And as she watched Silver and Sticks get captured, Maria unleashes her Chaos Fury, saving her team and destroying the robots. Shadow is relieved that she's safe and tries to convince her that she can't fight Dr. Eggman and his army all by herself, only for Maria to justify that she's not by herself for she has Molly and the rest of her teammates, and that she's come this far, she may not get this chance again but is willing to do whatever it takes. Shadow brings her back to reality by convincing her one more time that doing this she also risks her friends' lives as well. He also promises her that there will be another time for this is one fight she can't win. Reluctantly, Maria signals the others to fall back and exit the scene.

They rode in the caravans in silence since Wave needed to repair the hoverboards from the damage they took in the battle with Eggman's robots, and Molly's battleship is severely damaged that it would take weeks to get it back in shape while the repairs are costly. Shadow breaks the silence with a compliment on Maria's Chaos Fury, for that is a skill even he couldn't master. Maria returns it with one that she learned from the best. However, Shadow notices she's still upset and informs her how sorry he was for her loss, knowing that Gerald Robotnik was like a family to him too, despite what he has done in the past. And he truly understands why she did what she did. Maria ends up revealing back when she was still human, she gets vague memories of her parents since her diagnosis. Such as the melody of her mother's voice through a glass that keeps her isolated for safety precautions, the gentle hold of her father's gloved hands, and the smell of one of her cousin's gadgets, which she wasn't sure if she's allowed to play with. Another one is a crystal flower-shaped medallion her cousin gave her before being sent to the Space Colony ARK. Although she doesn't know what it means, the medallion is the only reminder she has left of her cousin.

When they reached Cream and Vanilla's house, Vector, Charmy, Ray, and Jewel interrogated Molly on the stunt Maria pulled for locking up the Chaotix and the rest of Sonic's friends in their rooms, despite Molly's defending of her friend. That is, until Espio gets them to back off of Molly after dropping his invisibility in between them. They left so that Espio can give Molly a bouquet of juliet roses, something he had been wanting to do ever since he first laid eyes on her.

With Maria, she's apologized to Sonic and Knuckles's friends for locking them in their rooms, using the excuse that she thought she couldn't trust them if she told them she was going after Eggman. Her apology is quickly accepted and while Maria is thankful and slightly overwhelmed with their hospitality, she is also annoyed with her personal space being invaded. Amy ends up pulling her away from the scene and invites her along for some "girl time", with Molly joining them. While practicing with their moves, physically and magically, they talk briefly about their romantic love lives. Maria has heard about Amy keeps claiming herself to be Sonic's girlfriend, and wondered if the two are really a "thing" yet. Amy stiffened that Maria figured out her bluff, only to come clean with a confession that she and Sonic are just friends, even though she finds him heroic and romantic. She starts teasing Maria about Silver, but Maria reveals that she prefers the serious, silent type like Shadow, with Molly shyly admitting to liking those qualities in Espio, and she finds him to be so mysterious and handsome. Molly then reprimanded Amy that she and Sonic are never going to be together if she keeps scaring him off with that kind of statement. Maria agrees with Molly's remark by advising that Amy should come up with a confession that not only will it keep Sonic floored, but also make him realize how stupid he is for not seeing it later on, which is something she could relate to after learning about Shadow's feelings from the ARK. A friend of hers, who is her niece Hope, told Maria of her own experience on Earth about what it was like for someone like Hope to get the person she likes to notice her. It was during a dance that marked the end of the year before school is out. One night, when Hope went to get some air, the boy she liked followed her, only to find out that no one had asked her to the dance. To say that he's shocked would have been an understatement. Then, what Maria heard next made her realize Shadow's feelings and for Amy to express her insecurities towards Sonic. Shadow, Hope, and Amy are blessed with many talents and opportunities, for they are constantly surrounded by love and praise. The problem is that when one is put on a pedestal like that for so long, they've become separated from the people that put them there in the first place. In Hope's point of view, everyone seems to think that she's "too good" for them, on a level that no one can, and that it's become impossible to form any sort of meaningful relationship to people. That's what she liked about this person, how Shadow felt about Maria, and Amy about Sonic. When Hope met this boy, he didn't even remember her name; only that he treated her like everybody else. Because of him, she's made friendships that would last a lifetime. She believed him to be the one she wishes she could be with; someone who saw Hope for who she is. Amy and Molly just looked at Maria in astonishment. She just described Amy's love life as if she knew exactly how she felt when Sonic doesn't see her that way. As the girls follow Maria to another fun activity, a certain blue hedgehog has been watching the whole thing. Sonic listened to the girls' conversation and was immediately floored. All those times Amy's been hanging with him, he had never noticed her feelings and felt like a complete idiot by using his excuse of adventuring just to avoid her. He needed to figure out a few things before he could talk to Amy.

At Tails's warehouse, Shadow, Sonic and Espio talked about what Maria said to Amy on being blessed with talents, surrounded by love and praise, up to point of being put on a pedestal that separated those from the people who put them there on the first place, while Shadow was looking at the maps on where Dr. Eggman has gotten to. Espio thought that was brave of Maria to follow such an advice, he couldn't help but think about his own feelings for Molly as he was snooping around in Maria's sack, hence the initials. The chameleon then got spooked by Shadow's outburst, causing Espio to drop the sack which had Maria's medallion inside. But then, when Sonic picked it up, he saw something no one had noticed until now. Engraved in the medallion is...a seal of the Eggman Empire. When Shadow and Espio heard this and see what Sonic was looking at, Shadow grows more suspicious by the minute.

While the boys went to get answers, Maria and Molly invite Amy along to their old campsite on Planet Hobidon to look for "something". Amy is confused about what they meant when she heard a noise and was about to attack the intruder with her hammer, only for them to block it with their jeweled cane-like sword. It was Sonia, but without Manic. Apparently, he's gone to talk to Sally about the recent events that happened as of late. Sonia was staying by the campsite when she received no word from Maria and started worrying for her, and when she found the campsite empty, she nearly had a heart attack. Maria and Molly revealed to Amy that they had Sonia keeping track of Dr. Eggman's whereabouts and what his plans are. Sonia's intel shows that the evil scientist has been gathering an entire armada equipped with escape-proof robotocizing chambers that will make it harder to get any innocent victim out of there before the process is complete. Amy knew what she meant by escape-proof; strong and refined Ermurasium. After receiving this information, Maria opens the portal back to Mobius and Amy asks Sonia if she is willing to join the fight against Eggman. Sonia politely declines, stating that as long as the bounty is on the hedgehog triplets' heads, they're likely at the risk of being captured by him and becoming his robotic slaves. Amy nods in understanding and lets Sonia go through the portal before her.

Meanwhile on Mobius, Sonic, Espio and Shadow went to Mobodoon to find answers on why would there be an engraving in Maria's medallion since she is not an ally of the Eggman Empire. They eventually ran into Manic and Sally, who are holding hands, implying that they're finally together. Before Sonic and Espio could congratulate Sonic's brother, Shadow interrupts the moment by demanding where they can find out about the person who gave Maria the medallion. Manic suggested going to the Rebels' Underground Guild and find someone named Argus, who leads a secret society called the Order of the Emerald. As they explore most of the town, they come across a Renaissance-themed tavern which is the only building in the kingdom to be colored silver and copper. On the bannister is a moonstone-colored emerald, which means that this is the place. When they walked in, their reaction couldn't be any different to how they viewed Café Chaotix for that the inside of the tavern is bigger than the restaurant itself. The sides of the walls have tapestries that represent the many places on Mobius; Lake Valley, Tashistan, the Azcan Tribe, Anays, Mobodoon, Southern Mobius and East Mobius. One wall in particular with the Anays and Tashistan tapestries is a photo plaque between the two with pictures of victims who lost their lives to Dr. Eggman's tyranny; Sir Charles the hedgehog, Sonic's adoptive uncle, Lionel, Cyrus's father, Mr. LaTour, Mindy's father, Granny, the leader of the Valley Folk, Zeb, the leader of the Mountain Folk, and finally the triplets' mother, Queen Aleena. For once, one would think they entered a crime-syndicate kind of place, but it's not. This guild is a gathering of Freedom Fighters from all over Mobius, and the photo plaque is built in honor of those who worked with them so that their bravery will always be remembered. Right now, the place seems deserted, except for a few people working. Argus, captain of Queen Aleena's royal guard, is now coach for future Freedom Fighters in strategic tactics. Ifyoucan, the current leader of the Azcan Tribe, specializes as an instructor for covert ops while his friends, Jamal and Amir work to provide supplies and money for the people of Tashistan, especially Raphi and his family. Titus, the former con man who once posed as an inventor for de-roboticization, is now reformed and working not only as a real inventor after receiving imports from Tyran where they supply rubies from what's left of the ruby mine, but also as a real spiritual healer to rehabilitate those who had a traumatic experience after being de-roboticized. Rudy and Sheila, who have secretly eloped, are expecting a child once their headquarters in Quadrant 10 is rebuilt. ART (Artificial Robotic Technology), after being found and rebuilt by Cyrus and Sonia, started to adapt into the life of a Freedom Fighter since he started his redemption mission with the hedgehog triplets, even though that moment was brief and it ended with him being destroyed by his former creator. And Doo Bot is still working as a professional hair stylist while hearing a little gossip around her without hypnotizing her customers, but as the old saying goes, "old habits die hard". When she saw Sonic, Espio and Shadow walking in, she's mostly focused on the black hedgehog and attempts to introduce herself, but Sonic shielded him from that and goes straight to the point by showing the medallion they found.

At Cream's house, Maria tries to convince Sonic's friends to go after Dr. Eggman, knowing that he won't be out of the open for long. Among the rest of Maria's team are the rest of the Freedom Fighters who built the Rebels' Underground Guild since freeing Mobitropolis from Eggman's tyranny; Nicole the Lynx, Shard the Hedgehog, Renée, Mindy LaTour, Raphi Hajani, Max, Allegra, Jerod, Serro, Erma Ermine, Tangle the Lemur, Whisper the Wolf, Lanolin the Sheep, Emerl (of course, Maria saved him as well when he was a robot at the time) the Caraval, and Belle the Mouse. Knuckles isn't too keen on going into battle against Dr. Eggman and his armada without Sonic, Shadow and Espio, and Maria symphatizes with that matter, but it is certain that they're not coming, and this issue can't wait. Tails, however, agrees with Knuckles that any frontal assault would be foolish without Sonic, Shadow and Espio, for both hedgehogs are the fastest and most powerful at their arsenal, while Espio is the master of stealth. Maria tries to get Amy to convince them, but Amy wasn't too sure about the plan, either. Feeling disappointed for the lack of support, Maria ends up guilt tripping Amy as all of this about trust and having each other's back was nothing but talk.

At Mobodoon, Manic and Sally, along with Sonia and Cyrus, are at the tavern as Argus studied the medallion Sonic showed Doo Bot curiously. He asked where'd he get the medallion, and Shadow responded it belonged to Maria, whom Sonic reminded Argus is a close friend of Shadow's. He then added that it had the Eggman Empire seal in it and asked if there is something he needs to explain to Shadow. Argus then explains that when all kinds of royalty have a child, let alone three, that child receives many gifts from all over Mobius. When the hedgehog triplets were born, he was asked by their mother to create a special sword for Sonia with a design unlike any other. Queen Aleena wanted to give her proper training the moment her babies open their eyes. This led Shadow to wonder if any of Maria's cousins was one of the survivors of the Space Colony ARK. Argus drooped at that question as the others glance in worry, knowing exactly what he's going to say.

Back at Cream's house, Maria is prepping up for battle with Molly, Blaze, Silver Sticks, Jet, Wave, Stripes and many others from RUG, still feeling angry that Amy, Cream, Knuckles, Tails, Rouge and even the Chaotix refuse to help her. That is, until said friends showed up, fully armed and battle ready. Amy agrees to help Maria as it's a capture mission, not a kill mission. Maria returns that agreement by revealing a map to Eggman's location, which Amy takes from her and pins to the wall of the house so that way Sonic, Shadow, and Espio will find them. The plan? Hit Eggman when he least expects it. But upon leaving, however, none of them notice a shadow walking up to the map and taking it off the wall.

Speaking of Eggman, the evil scientist is out on his flying fortress, the Grand Egg Imperial, with Decoe, Bocoe, Bokkun, and the new created robots, Cubot and Orbot. They've just about reached the meeting point to make the exchange when Decoe asks if they should move the Mobiums to the deck, but Dr. Eggman suggests leaving it below. Confused, Bocoe reminds him that other soldiers will be expecting payment once they arrive with the ships. Eggman understands, for that's what he wants them to believe, and instead of the money, he'll give them "his weapons". The robots aren't so sure about this, but unbeknownst them, Eggman is not...well, "Eggman" at all as there's an ominous green glow behind those glasses.

Back at Cream's house, Sonic, Shadow and Espio arrived with Sonia, Cyrus, Manic and Sally in tow to tell Maria about what they learned of her family, but there's no one here. The hedgehog siblings decided to help Sonic regardless of the consequences for being put on a bounty by Eggman. Right then, someone walks up to Shadow with a map in hand. It was Cosmo. She had been watching the entire conversation with Vanilla and felt something off about Maria, given how Shadow described her back then. When she showed him the map to where they were going, Shadow had a feeling that Maria is going to do something she would regret.

In the bright blue skies, all of the Freedom Fighters arrived through a portal Maria had opened behind the Grand Egg Imperial. It was time to put the plan into motion; the element of surprise. The SWATbots are preparing their double-cross when one of them alerted Eggman of the Freedom Fighters' presence. The only ones he sees are Knuckles, Tails, Cream, Silver, Blaze, Sticks, Jet, Vector, Charmy, Ray, Stripes, Spike, Shard, Trevor, Max, and Allegra, but no Maria. Nonetheless, he issues the attack to knock them out of the air. Unbeknownst to him, this is only a diversion to gain his attention so that he doesn't notice Maria sneaking up on him, but they can only do it high up to avoid getting hit by his cannons. While that's happening, Amy, Rouge, Maria, Molly, Antoine, Wave, Mindy, Renée, Tiara, Luke, Nicole, Lanolin, Tangle, Whisper, Jerod, Serro, Erma, Emerl, and Belle sneak on-board the ship and elimated a few SWATbots before getting closer to Eggman and finally apprehended him. But then, Maria revealed her true colors when she ordered Molly, Erma, and Antoine to finish off Eggman once and for all. Amy and Rouge are horrified at the sudden change and try to remind her about the promise she made, but to no prevail. Maria still wanted revenge, remarking that Dr. Eggman didn't "raid" her home in her life when Shadow was with him. And just as Molly, Erma and Antoine prepare to kill him, Sonic, Shadow, Espio, Sonia, Manic, Cyrus and Sally arrive on the scene as Shadow stopped the attack with his Chaos Spear, and Sally pushed Erma with her Ring Blades. Shadow orders Maria to stop, but she remains determined to kill Eggman until the black hedgehog reveals the truth about her medallion, explaining that it has the Eggman Empire seal engraved in it. Surprised, Maria urges him to elaborate. Shadow then reveals further that many years ago, Gerald Robotnik gave that medallion to his daughter-in-law, Meredith Sanders, as a gift for her daughter. Maria is that daughter, and since knowing Gerald Robotnik is her grandfather, Shadow then reveals that he's also Eggman's grandfather, which makes him and Maria...cousins. Maria is stunned by this revelation, not knowing what to say or think. The rest of Eggman's armada soon arrived and attacked the fortress, which raises the question; how did they know where to find them? They didn't have a map of their own. While the others are distracted, Dr. Eggman frees himself! But it shouldn't be possible for a man in his late 40s unless...That's not Dr. Eggman himself. Shadow's theory is confirmed when "Dr. Eggman" presses a button on his pendant, and he transforms into...a young man in his early 30s. He introduces himself as Colin Kintobor Jr., known by a few as Snively. He then reveals that Julian Kintobor, alias Ivo Robotnik, who apparently was Doctor Eggman then, was not the one who gave Maria the medallion when she was on Earth; it was Snively himself, which means that he is Maria's cousin as well. And it seemed that he had a distinct hatred towards Eggman given the ill-tempered tone in his voice. As it turns out, when Maria was still human at the time of her diagnosis, Snively and Eggman have always looked up to their grandfather as an idolized hero for all that he's done and they wanted to be like him. But when it came time present Maria a gift, Snively had accidentally dropped the medallion he was meant to give her until Eggman picked it up and hand it to her instead that she thanked him for it. Because of it, something snapped in Snively, causing him to turn twisted, spiteful, and even manipulative to the point of eliminating Eggman so he can have Mobius all for himself. Maria just stared in shock as it was all nothing but a ruse by Snively to plan his revenge. Eggman may have been the one who placed a bounty on the Royal Hedgehog family, but it was Snively who plotted the assassination of Queen Aleena, for he wanted nothing to do with the hedgehog triplets. And when he learned recently of the raid on the Space Colony ARK, upon realizing that his cousin and their grandfather are on that space station, Snively had a feeling that Maria survived it thanks to the cure Gerald had been working on and Shadow was captured by the GUN soldiers. But what really intrigued him the most is Maria having turned into a hedgehog, which gave him an idea of how he would get closer to her so he can find out more. This was after he found out when Princess Sally took back Mobitropolis before Doctor Eggman returned from Earth that Snively had to go into hiding upon meeting Doctor Starline to exact his revenge. While Maria was training with Blaze, Silver, and Sticks, Starline had recommended for placing a beacon inside the medallion. And when Eggman returned from his quest in space and battle against the Metarex, Starline lured him the same way Eggman lured Queen Aleena, sending his accomplices Surge the Tenrec and Clutch the Opposum to kill the evil scientist. Unlike how his uncle was so blindsided by his own arrogance, Doctor Starline was the only one who saw something in Snively that day. Instead of showing disdain towards him, he embraced it, telling him that he is special; like how gifted he was, far more gifted than his own uncle ever was. To Snively, Eggman deserved to be out of the picture, for he was tired of being pushed aside and has spent his whole childhood trying to become better than his uncle and a lifetime worth proving that he is so. With the snap of his fingers, the rest of his accomplices revealed themselves on the Grand Egg Imperial fortress; Mimic the Octopus, Surge the Tenrec, Kitsunami the Fennec, Clutch the Opposum, Breezy and Scourge the Hedgehogs, Fiona the Fox, Sleet Dingo, Regina Ferrum, and his right-hand man Doctor Starline. Maria is still in shock for she is unable to do anything or order an attack, and there's no way her team would be leaving without her or leave her in the hands of Snively. To Shadow, it mattered not what her past is or what her family issues are, but how she affects the present.

Sonic's Resistance

 * Sonic the Hedgehog (voiced by Ben Schwartz): The series' most iconic protagonist in the Sonic universe. A tall, slim anthropomorphic hedgehog with blue fur covering his entire body with a peach muzzle and inner ears, as well as peach fur on the front of his torso, emerald green eyes, six long quills on the back of his head, two spines protruding from his back behind his shoulders, and a short pointy tail. His attire includes white gloves with cuffs, and red boots with a white stripe in the middle, white toes and soles, and three gold rings for cuffs. He also wears a white neckerchief on his neck to highlight his maturity.
 * Amy Rose (voiced by Shannon Chan-Kent)-Sonic's genuine girlfriend rather than being self-proclaimed. She is a tall and slender, pink-furred anthropomorphic hedgehog with green eyes and peach skin covering her muzzle, inner ears, and arms. She has a small, black nose, triangular ears on top of her head, and no back spines. She also has two long eyelashes on each side of her eyes. Additionally, her five short head quills point downwards, somewhat resembling a bob cut. She also has three spikes for bangs on her head, and a short tail. For attire, Amy wears a red, sleeveless dress with a flared white collar, a cerise denim sleeveless tunic fastened by a white belt at the waist, lavender leggings underneath, tall red, wedge-heeled boots with a white stripe down the center, white cuffs and gray soles, a red hairband, and white wrist-length gloves with gold bracelets for cuffs. Due to her age, she's more curvaceous and slender as she is agile.
 * Miles "Tails" Prower (voiced by Vincent Tong)-Sonic's best friend and brother figure. He is a teenage, anthropomorphic fox about with a unique genetic mutation giving him two tails instead of one. He has mostly amber fur with white fur around his muzzle with cheek tufts, front torso with fluffy fur on top of his chest, and the tips of his tails. He also has sky blue eyes, triangular ears with white canals on top of his head, a small black nose, and three locks of hair on his forehead. For attire, he wears a pair of brown goggles with clear lenses on his head that change color when worn on his eyes, a brown cargo vest with multiple pockets (which can store items of any size), a brown utility belt with a small buckle adorned with his signature symbol, and white medium-long gloves with brown cuffs. He also wears red boots with white toes and cuffs. Due to his age, he's more slender and muscular as he's close to Sonic's height by the shoulders.
 * Knuckles (voiced by Tracy Morgan)- Sonic's most respected rival and guardian of the Master Emerald. He is a tall and muscular anthropomorphic echidna with red fur that covers most of his body, a black nose on his peach-skinned muzzle, a white crescent-shaped patch of fur on his chest, and purple eyes. He also has seven dreadlock-like spines around the sides and back of his head and a medium-sized, tri-crooked tail. For attire, Knuckles wears a pair of red and yellow hi-tops, designed with wrap-like markings, that have green cuffs and gray metal plates on top. He also wears gloves with knuckle-spikes on them and has white sports tape wrapped around his hands, the lower half of his arms and legs, and his biceps, making him similar to a Muay Thai boxer.
 * Cream the Rabbit (voiced by Andrea Libman)- The team's special aid and now Special Ops, and love interest of Antoine Mont-D'Bleu the Jackal. She's now a teenage cream-colored anthropomorphic rabbit with a white muzzle that possesses a small brown nose. She has brown eyes and a tuft of princeton orange hair on her forehead. She has brown eyelids and princeton orange markings around her eyes and on the ends of her lopped ears. For attire, Cream wears a vermilion sleeveless tank shirt, brown denim bell bottom jeans, white gloves with gold cufflinks, brown belt at the waist, and vermilion slip-ons with yellow soles. Her ears are tied up into a ponytail with the blue ribbon from her dress. Due to her age, she's more curvaceous and slender as well as she is agile.
 * Rouge the Bat (voiced by Eden Espinosa)-Treasure hunter, an ally of Sonic's team and love interest of Stripes the Tiger. She is an anthropomorphic bat with white fur, tan skin, teal eyes, and a curvy figure. She has large pointy ears, a small black nose on her muzzle, a short pointy tail, and a pair of dark purple wings on her back. Only her head appears to have fur, which flares out into six points at the back. She usually wears light blue eyeshadow and pink lipstick. Her new attire is a black, sleeveless, collared minidress with a white vest fastened by her pink heart-shaped chestplate over it, long white gloves with silver trimming surrounding a pink heart-shaped gem at the top, a pink heart-shaped jeweled belt at the waist, pink tights, and white boots with pink detailed decorations near the top, pink jeweled toes that form a heart, and silver wedged heels.
 * Shadow the Hedgehog (voiced by Kit Harington)-The Ultimate Lifeform created by Gerald Robotnik and a rival of Sonic, but now an ally of his team, and now a boyfriend of Maria. He is a black-furred anthropomorphic hedgehog and, like Sonic, is rather slim with relatively long arms and legs and pronounced shoulders that give him a tall and slightly lanky appearance; unlike Sonic, however, Shadow appears to be more barrel-chested with broad shoulders. He has red eyes, a small patch of white fur on his chest, a tan-skinned muzzle, and tan-skinned ear canals. He also has six quills on his head, four of which curve upwards while the other two curve downwards, two spines on his back, and a small pointy tail. He has red stripes on each of his head quills, around the edges of his eyes, and on his arms and legs. He also has a single cowlick-like spike that sticks out from underneath each of the top side quills on his head. His attire includes white gloves with black cuffs and, instead of red backs, red gauntlets with five layers of golden ring bands that glow every time he takes a hit, and the glow symbolizes the amount of energy Shadow absorbs to get stronger. His shoes are boots that mainly white and smooth with black heel regions. Over the boots is a red greave the same fashion as his gauntlets and black cuffs. Around the rim of the soles, Shadow's boots have red strips of metal on the rear and front of the bottom, broken below the in-steps. On the bottom of each sole is also an orange-yellow line of four small "jets": three up front and one on the heel.
 * Cosmo (voiced by Anna Cummer)- The last Seedrian of the now extinct planet Greengate and now Tails's girlfriend. She is a humanoid plant with pale peach skin, blue eyes, and green hair. In her new form, Cosmo is taller by Tails's shoulder length. Her hair has grown longer by the waist with fully grown roses on each side of the head, and her attire is the same as it was, but with a few changes. A rose-shaped jewel is in place where the amulet used to be, and a yellow belt is at her waist like her sister's, but in a hexagonal shape.

Trivia

 * Unlike his game counterpart, Silver is not from the future for he is in the current timeline as Sonic and his friends.
 * Blaze still maintains her occupation as princess of the Sol Empire like her game counterpart. But instead of being a visitor on Mobius, she's is its current resident and, unlike her game counterpart, is also in the current timeline.
 * Tiara Boobowski and Honey the Cat were originally scrapped from the Sonic game and the Archie comic series, so this is the first time for them to be introduced in this TV series. Tiara was originally depicted as a Manx cat, so she was introduced as a bobcat instead. Plus, since she was originally meant to be paired with Sonic, it was decided that Tiara be paired with Spike the Porcupine since they bear a strong resemblance to one another.
 * Since Sonic Underground had been on for two seasons until its cancellation, it's left undetermined for the fate of the hedgehog triplets' mother, Queen Aleena, and whether or not if the whole family was reunited.
