Disclaimer: I don't own Shadow, Maria, or any other SEGA characters. I do own all the other crappy stuff that no one wants...!^_^;;;
AN: I got this idea a few days after buying the gaming masterpiece that is Sonic Adventure 2. Alternate universes have been a part of fiction and reality for some time now. This particular one revolves around a young girl and her hedgehog friend. What if Maria actually ESCAPED with Shadow when the ARK was being attacked, instead of embracing her death by the hands of the G.U.N soldiers? This is their story.

" STOP WHERE YOU ARE! PUT YOUR HANDS ABOVE YOUR HEAD!"
Maria Robotnik blinked her long eyelashes in a feeble attempt to regain her composure. Her lifetime home, though artificial in every way, was all of a sudden under attack by a government agency, G.U.N., from Mobius. The words of her aging grandfather, Prof. Gerald Robotnik, still rang clear in her head.
* * * * * * * * * *
A young girl softly hummed to herself as she twirled her voluminous blonde hair around a frail index finger. She yawned, gently setting herself down on her stiff, but comfortable bed. She sighed contentadly as the soft, sultry prospect of sleep called to her, like a long-lost lover reclaiming his prize. " Goodnight..." she mumbled to no one in particular.
" ALERT! ALERT! DANGER! DANGER! INTRUDERS ENTERING IN THROUGH THE MAIN GATE! ALERT! ALERT! DANGER! DANGER! INTRUDERS....."
Maria Robotnik woke with a start, her voice coming in a short, piercing scream. " What's going on?!" she yelled, her voice high with fright. Suddenly, the moniter besider her crackled to life. " Grandfather? What's happening? Are you okay?" The elderly man shook his head.
" Maria, military soldiers from Mobius are attacking us!" The young girl shook her head in disbelief.
" What? Why, grandfather? We haven't done anything wrong! What do they want?" The professer shook his head and adjusted his thick glasses.
" They want Shadow, my dear niece. Now, listen carefully." He paused, using the moment to look behind him, making eye contact with a short, but menacing figure. " I'm going to hold them off for as long as I can using the defense mechanisms. Meanwhile, I'm sending Shadow up to your room. I want you to escape with him, Maria." The young blonde blinked her large blue eyes.
" You...you can't really expect me to leave without you grandfather? Bring Shadow with you! Come to the escape pod with us, and we'll all go together!" Prof. Gerald simply shook his head sorrowfully.
" I'm afraid I just wouldn't make it. Besides, my time here is almost up. I'm sorry, Maria. My dear niece....I love you so much. If only your parents could see what a lovely young woman you've become. I have loved every moment of having you around, and I'm sure Shadow feels the same way. " Maria despretly held back a violent emotional outburst.
" Grandfather! You can't! Come with me! You...you can't die! I won't let you!!" She was unable to finish her thoughts, as a powerful onslaught of tears rendered her incapable of arguing. The old man smiled warmly, and raised a shaky hand to cut the communication. " NO! Grandfather!!" Maria collapsed onto the floor, her weak legs no longer able to hold her weight. Her thoughts were interrupted by the mechanical swish of her door opening. Dark red eyes met with her azure blue orbs. The figure above her grabbed her crutch in one hand, and gently offered the other to her fallen form.
" Come on, Maria. We've got to go." The figure cooed, trying it's best to comfort the distraught girl. Maria pounded her fists against her helper.
" No! Shadow! We must go back! We must go back and help my grandfather!" The black hedgehog, Shadow, shook his head wordlessly. With absolutly no effort, he scooped Maria up into his arms and sped off towards the escape pods.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Bright red lights danced throughout the hallways, as loud, wailing sirens accompanied them in their message of danger. Shadow the Hedgehog kept a steady expression as he arrived at the escape pods. Shifting his weight, he punched in a few numbers, and waited for the door to slide open. The artificial lifeform ignored the slight pounding on his chest - his 'passenger', Maria Robotnik, was feebly beating on his white-furred frame in a desperate attempt to let her go. " Let me go, Shadow! I have to go and get Grandpa! Shadow! Are you even listening?!" Shadow closed his eyes in thought.
" Maria," he began, not making eye contact. " I can't say I know the pain you're feeling, but in a way, he was my father as well. He created me Maria. He gave me orders to escape, and protect you with my very life. I will fullfill his wishes until the day I pass on." Maria's eyes welled up with tears once more.
" Oh, Grandfather...." The black and red hedgehog gently set her frail form down on the cold floor of the space pod, along with her metallic crutch.
" I just need to enter in a few things, then we can go."
Just as he was entering in the last calculation, voices rang up outside. " Who's in there? Open up! This is G.U.N.! We're taking over this ship!" Shadow glanced up, but paid them no heed.
" Piss off...." he hissed under his breath. His deep red eyes fell upon his best friend, Maria, who was huddled up against the glass, sensing and hearing the danger beyond the steel door.
" Refuse to cooperate? Alright! We're coming in!" Loud pounding rang out from the other side of the metal divider, it's large structure shuddering with each blow. Finally, the door gave way, and G.U.N soldiers poured into the room like an insect infestation. The leader of the platoon stopped, and thrust his laser rifle in front of his face. " F-freeze, S-Shadow!! You're not going a-anywhere!!" Shadow smiled; this man was terrified of him. More soldiers flooded into the room, each one armed with at least three weapons. Shadow turned his attention to the small army, a playful smirk dancing on his lips.
" Do you honestly believe that you can stop me?" he mocked. The general poised his rifle to shoot.
" Don't move!" he repeated, his voice shaky and lacking any confidence. " O-o-or I'll shoot!" The black hedgehog's eyes narrowed.
" Like hell you will." In a few lightning-fast movements, the artificial lifeform had killed the general, and stood over his corpse like a lion after a successful kill. Shadow lifted up the rifle, examining it carefully. " Oh well. Beggers can't be choosers." His face set in stone, Shadow opened fire on the soldiers, killing nearly every one. Maria buried her face in her hands, not able to bear the massacre that unfolded in front of her. Shadow dropped the laser rifle and hopped into the glass cylinder with Maria. Hitting the final command, the escape pod hummed to life, lights buzzing and jumping around all of the circutry. A soothing female voice drifted from the speakers.
" DESTINATION: MOBIUS."
