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 that 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 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 emphasize 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, 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 introduced her to Blaze, the princess 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 will strike, so Sonic suggests they each 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 looked 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, thieves 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, one of the victims who was partially roboticized sees this, allowing him the 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 give 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.
