Sonic Series Fan Fiction ❯ Adventures of the Future 2 ❯ We did it! ( Chapter 3 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

The next morning, Maria was allowed to leave and continue the search for the chaos emeralds
with Burlow and the others. The two of them now had an even greater friendship, in fact, it was
much more than a friendship. It was love. The final chaos emerald was on ARK.(what a
surprise... not!)

Sonic, Knuckles and Rouge stayed on earth while the others went up to ARK. Dr. Eggman didn't
really expect them to come looking for the chaos emerald but he was still prepared.. The friends
split into groups but Burlow went alone.

Maria and Shadow were exploring the back of the space colony when something came out of
nowhere and attacked them, the bad thing was they couldn't see it. Maria was scared out of her
wits then suddenly, she and Shadow began to feel strange. Their fur began to shorten and it was
replaced with scales. Their bodies began to change shape and became streamlined, their limbs
disappeared and the area was replaced with golden scales, their faces also changed, they grew
long slender snouts and fangs and finally, neither one was a hedgehog anymore, they had
become giant snakes. Shadow was a snake that looked like a basilisk accept blue and he had
unusual spines growing out of his head. Maria was a giant green viper with fierce eyes.

Burlow was still exploring when a huge green snake came crashing through the wall. Maria
slithered swiftly after him, the golden scales where her left arm used to be began to glow
mysteriously until a long bony hand-like claw appeared in the scales' place, she used the claw to
grab Burlow.

"HELP!!!"Burlow yelled.

"Burlow, stop, it's me, it's Maria."

Burlow looked up at the snake that spoke without moving it's mouth and saw a pair of sapphire
blue eyes.

"Maria? What happened to you?"Burlow asked.

"I... I don't know, it happened to my father too."Maria replied, opening her mouth slightly,
showing her massive fangs.

At that moment, a big blue snake came crashing through the wall.

"*ROOOAAAR, hiss* (translation) Maria, where are you?!"Shadow said.

"Father, I'm over here."Maria replied.

Maria set Burlow down and slithered over to Shadow.

Shadow growled lovingly as he caressed Maria on the cheek. (Don't forget, they're snakes)



"How are you ganna change back?"Burlow asked.

"I don't know, maybe there's an antidote."Maria replied.

"*roar, hiss, growl*(translation) There is, there is a machine that is doing it to us. We have to
shut down the machine."Shadow said.

"I know what to do."Maria said as she ripped open a fuse box and pulled out a series of fuses.

Maria and Shadow slowly began to change back to their normal forms.

"Now lets find that chaos emerald!"Burlow exclaimed.

Everybody met in the central control room. Dr. Eggman had a strange gadget in his hand.

"Let's finish this crap once and for all."Maria said.

'Wow, she's so sure of herself.'Burlow thought dreamily.

"Maria, be careful."Burlow said.

Burlow and Maria managed to get pretty close to Eggman but he threw the little machine at
Maria. It stuck to the back of her head like glue, electricity rushed through her body then she
collapsed to the floor.

"Maria, are you alright?"Burlow asked.

Maria got back up, she was different though. She had a demon-like look on her face as well as a
set of fangs.

"What have you done to her?!"Burlow exclaimed, on the verge of crying.

"I've turned her into a blood thirsty monster that will kill anything with a life force. She will
only obey me. Now kill that pest, my servant."Eggman replied.

Maria chased after Burlow, she'd gained a lot of speed now. Soon, Burlow could no longer see
his friend/enemy. Maria jumped onto his back and sank her teeth into his shoulder, Burlow
screamed in pain, the pain Burlow was feeling just made Maria sink her teeth further into his
shoulder until Gierin kicked her off.

"Keep your teeth to yourself, you sick bitch!"Gierin said.





Burlow got up and thought of what to do.

"Tails, Gierin, Shadow, help me pin her down to the floor and I'll take off that machine."Burlow
said.

"Can I help?"Sarah asked.

"No, I'm not risking the safety of my little sister. Just stay back."Burlow replied.

Maria noticed that Sarah was defenseless so she decided to go after her, she grabbed Sarah
around the neck but Burlow and the others stopped her. Burlow pulled off the machine and
Maria fell the ground.

"Burlow, what's wrong with Sarah?"Gierin asked.

"Oh no, she's having an asthma attack. Tails where's her medicine?"Burlow asked.

"There's some of her medicine in the ship and there's also a clean needle. I'll go get it."Tails
said.

"No, I'll get it. You stay with Sarah."Burlow replied.

Burlow went to the ship to get Sarah's medicine while Tails stayed with her.

Tails held Sarah in his arms, Sarah gripped his hand and struggled to get some air in her lungs.

"Sarah, listen to me, Burlow is going to get your medicine. You're ganna be okay, I promise. I'm
not ganna let anything happen to you. Go ahead and grip my hand, I don't care if you break it.
Your life is more important to me than my hand."Tails said to Sarah.

"Tails... I'm scared."Sarah said weakly as she gripped Tails' hand tightly.

"It's okay. You lived through this once, you can do it again."Tails said, trying to reassure her
that she would live.

Burlow finally entered the room with the medicine, the needle and the final chaos emerald.

"Burlow, give me the medicine and needle."Tails said.

Tails injected the medicine into Sarah's arm then threw the empty container and used needle
away. Slowly, Sarah's grip on Tail's hand loosened. Everybody headed back to the ship. Burlow
carried Maria over his good shoulder while Tails carried Sarah as carefully as he could.




Tails kept a close eye on Sarah. He was still worried. That night, Tails spent his time looking
after the little girl who loved him so much.

'Gee, I hope she's okay.'Tails thought as he stroked Sarah on the forehead.

Sarah slowly opened her eyes and looked up at Tails, the handsome fox looked right back at her.

"Tails? Are we going home?"Sarah asked.

"Yes, we're going home. You should just rest for a while."Tails replied.

Sarah closed her eyes and went to sleep, Tails tucked her in and then kissed her on the forehead.
He knew that Sarah liked him but did he feel the same way? It wouldn't work out anyway, after
all, Sarah is twelve and Tails is twenty-seven.

They finally made it to earth and went to the Capital City with no delay. Amy was still sick as a
dog and needed help now. Burlow brought the chaos emeralds to the front yard and waited.
Suddenly, the chaos emeralds merged together and became a being made of polygons.

"Are you the ones who summoned me?"A watery voice said.

"Yes."Everybody answered.

"You, Burlow, proclaim your wish."

"My mother, Amy Rose, is desperately ill. Can you heal her?"

"I cannot, it is too big a wish. Should one of you donate some power to me, I may be able to
grant that wish."

Everybody decided to donate the power of their wish to save Amy.

"I can now fulfill your wish, Burlow."

The being raised his hands and then disappeared.

"Your wish has been granted."

Burlow ran up to his mother's house and found her still on the bed, she was recovering instantly.
Burlow went over to see her.






"Mom, are you okay?"Burlow asked.

"Burlow, did you make the wish?"Amy asked.

"Yeah, try to get up and walk around."

Amy tried to walk, it was successful.

"I... I can walk again. Oh Burlow, thank you. You're the best son anybody could ask for."Amy
said as she hugged Burlow.

"Well, you're my mother. I had to do it."Burlow explained.

"Maybe, but I don't think everybody would do that for their mother."Amy replied.

So Burlow had saved Amy Rose and she was once again her perky self, she called Burlow and
Sonic every day and everything was back to normal, finally.
