Shattered Hopes And Dreams

"I still remember what you said, Shadow. That you wanted to help the world. You were created to save me, and to save us all. We were both so innocent back then. And so naive. This world gave you a heart, only to rip it from you and discard you as easily as they would discard an empty bag. But I will never forget you, my friend. I will teach them the folly of their cruelty." AU blog for Maria Robotnik. Mild NSFW content (violence, etc.). Current status: Researching transdimensional technology, can now travel to other zones at will. Only interested in observing other zones for now. Researching Chaos Control. Has implemented Metal Shadow with the ability. Zone status: Mostly under Maria's control, save for a few pockets of resistance. United Federation remains free, though constantly under siege by Maria's forces. Maria currently possesses three Chaos Emeralds (green, blue, silver). Face claim: Max from Maximum Ride

"The notes will suffice," Maria said. "I should have little trouble modifying your designs to match my own." She smiled a bit. "I must thank you for this. It will come in very handy in the future."

[melissathesnowrabbitrp-deactiva]

"You’re welcome but what I meant about compatibility is that I can copy the information directly from my brain and onto a computer system. Julian gave me a rather handy implant that allows me to download information directly to my brain instead of spending hours reading through books."

[doctormariarobotnik]

"Oh, I see," Maria said with a nod. "Quite handy, that. I use something similar for those who I've roboticized and allowed to serve me of their own free will. Spade and Heart, for instance."

[doctormariarobotnik]

Maria held the kiss for a few seconds, enjoying the feeling of her echidna in her arms. When she let go of the kiss, a rather dark smile flashed on her lips. “Would you care to assist me in dealing with some…internal problems?”

[the-forsakenlegionnaire]

"Internal problems?" The smile mirrored itself almost instantly on lien-da’s feature."I’m all ears, dear, tell me your request~."

[doctormariarobotnik]

"Oh, I just need to have a meeting with my Overlords, let them know that I'm not at all happy with how they've been acting since my imprisonment."

"And one of them in particular needs to be made an example of."

"I don’t want your emerald,” Maria said firmly. “In fact, it is of my best interest if that emerald is as far away from this place as possible.” Maria held out her left wrist. A strange console device adorned it. She pressed a few buttons and a holographic monitor and keyboard appeared before it that the doctor typed into. “It will take some time to return you to your world. In the meantime, I’m sure you have a number of questions to ask me.”

"Hmph, I suppose I do. But I doubt you’ll really answer them since I refuse to say anything to you. Honestly need someway to hide that I’m Black Arms, it causes me so much trouble I could very much do without. Perhaps we could make a small trade before I return to my zone? Then I might be more inclined to answer your queries…"

The offer was simple and effective Maria really didn’t have much reason to refuse Eclipse’s offer.

[doctormariarobotnik]

"That would depend on what you want from me," Maria said as she continued to type onto the holographic monitor, keeping an eye on Eclipse. "If it's within reason I will gladly help you with it."

[doctormariarobotnik]

Apologies for disappearing.

((This whole week has just been really, really bad for me. Maria's home now, though.))

[doctormariarobotnik]

"...You... killed them. Please tell me you have more." (Only way this could work with these two.)

"I’ll have to make more. It seems they’re a bit more fragile than I had anticipated. Oh well, mistakes are the byproducts of success."

[thehouseofivo]

"I tried to warn you they were fragile. Then again, it was your experiment and I had no right to try to take control."

[doctormariarobotnik]

"Your warnings were indeed heard," Maria said as she pressed a few buttons on a console. "I simply didn’t have an idea of how fragile. Oh well, at least they came out looking like Mobians this time…”

[thehouseofivo]

He shrugged. “Now, remind me… was this simply mild curiosity, for military purposes or for medical purposes?….After all, this is the pinnacle of what most would call ‘playing god’….”

[doctormariarobotnik]

"Medical purposes. I had thought that by using cloning and altering the DNA of those cloned I could have a limitless supply of organs should one need them. Thus far it...hasn't worked as intended."

Considering the last batch lived for about five seconds and said only "Die!" at the top of their lungs before melting, that was an understatement.

[doctormariarobotnik]

" you killed them? how deliciously devious of you..."

"I don't beat around the bush. I simply evaluated the pros and cons. And I determined that ridding myself of them far outweighed any potential use they might provide for me."

[doctormariarobotnik]

"...You... killed them. Please tell me you have more." (Only way this could work with these two.)

"I’ll have to make more. It seems they’re a bit more fragile than I had anticipated. Oh well, mistakes are the byproducts of success."

"You killed them!"

"Don't act so surprised, my dear. I am nothing if not pragmatic. I would be more worried about you."

Send "You killed them!" for my character's reaction.

A certain Biolizard found herself on the ARK or rather, Maria's ARK and not her own. As she wandered about, seeing the robots milling about, she wondered just who was running it now. It probably wasn't one of her alternates but anything was possible. "Hello?", she called out.

She would be met with a four foot tall kangaroo robot with orange plating and a feminine appearance. The robot stared up at the huge biolizard with a look of wonder on her face. She knew that Maria had quite a few strange things here on the ARK, but she had never seen anything like this before.

"Uh, hi," Diamond said somewhat nervously. "Who are you? And how come I ain’t seen ya around before?"

[doctormariarobotnik]

Maria sighed for a bit. “Yes and no,” Maria said. “My appearance hasn’t changed in the slightest, though I cannot accurately say if I have aged or not. At times I certainly feel my age. Joint pains and the like. I don’t know how much longer I have to live, to be honest with you.”

[prototypeultimatelifeform-deact]

Eve frowned slightly. It was moments like these that she wished she could share her immortality with others. she could see her agelessness creating a rather lonely path for her. “What if I let you study me or something? Maybe you could make something to make yourself ageless like I am? I no longer age and I have a bit of DNA from every animal type in me. That should make it compatible, right?”

[doctormariarobotnik]

Maria gave the matter a bit of thought, but eventually shook her head. "No, I'd really rather not. It is natural for all that live to die eventually, and I have no real desire to break that cycle."

After fifty years alone on a space station, you kinda want to avoid actions that will only make you lonely.

[doctormariarobotnik]

Maria nodded to Melissa. “It’s a simple matter of reverse engineering the Warp Ring and modifying it to be a more versatile method of dimensional travel. I use Chaos Drives to power my wrist console, but with a Chaos Energy battery it would have far greater scope.” She thought as Melissa explained it. “Interesting. I shall give that a try.”

[melissathesnowrabbitrp-deactiva]

Melissa listened and afterwards, nodded in understanding. “I could give you a copy of my research notes if you wish. That is, if you keep around anything I can directly copy it to that is compatible with my implants.”

[doctormariarobotnik]

"The notes will suffice," Maria said. "I should have little trouble modifying your designs to match my own." She smiled a bit. "I must thank you for this. It will come in very handy in the future."

[doctormariarobotnik]

Maria thought for a bit. “I hadn’t thought of that, though I’m not certain how much Mobotropolis means to Sonic anymore, what with most of the people he knew there…well…dead.”

…there was also the idea that Sonic might actually be working with Naugus as well. She didn’t know if he’d be that desperate to be rid of Maria, but she wanted to look into that. “Either way, perhaps we could use this to our advantage. If they aren’t fighting already, perhaps I can set it up so that they are.”

[the-forsakenlegionnaire]

Lien-da chuckled rather… Darkly.”Someone really worked a bit too hard during the last decade, did she?”

It was of little matter for the echidna. People lived, other died… And it went on.

"Let’s do that then. If we can kill this rebellion within it’s egg, we’ll have you stripped of a very nasty torn… Hopefully" she kiss her lover’s neck, snuggling close,

Lien really missed Maria, and only now did she start to realise how much.

[doctormariarobotnik]

Maria sighed a bit and closed her eyes at Lien-Da’s kiss as she wrapped her arms around the echidna. She was content, but in deep thought. She knew she could get Naugus and Sonic at each others’ throats, but how?

"What’s the one thing that would anger Sonic to the point that he would not stop until Naugus was out of the picture?" she asked, partly to herself.

[the-forsakenlegionnaire]

Lien-da briefly stopped her kiss to look at maria, smiling warmly.”We’ll find out, Maria. We’ll find out, together.” And she kissed her again, lien-da’s lips meeting Maria’s with bliss.

[doctormariarobotnik]

Maria held the kiss for a few seconds, enjoying the feeling of her echidna in her arms. When she let go of the kiss, a rather dark smile flashed on her lips. "Would you care to assist me in dealing with some...internal problems?"

"Uh, hi," Diamond said somewhat nervously. "Who are you? And how come I ain’t seen ya around before?"

[doctormariarobotnik]

"Not entirely," Maria said. "Before his untimely demise, my grandfather created a prototype cure for NIDS using Shadow’s DNA. I used it on myself. It worked, though as a side effect it left me locked into the child-like body you see before you."

[prototypeultimatelifeform-deact]

"That explains why you look so young. Did it make you ageless like myself and Shadow? Neither of us are capable of ageing past a certain point considered to be the prime times of our lives. At least, that’s how it is in my zone." 

[doctormariarobotnik]

Maria sighed for a bit. "Yes and no," Maria said. "My appearance hasn't changed in the slightest, though I cannot accurately say if I have aged or not. At times I certainly feel my age. Joint pains and the like. I don't know how much longer I have to live, to be honest with you."

Maria nodded. “Though I’m rather curious as to how you made those chaos energy batteries. I’ve been using my wrist console for dimensional travel, but if I had a stronger…and less volatile…energy source, I could make exceptional use of it.”

[melissathesnowrabbitrp-deactiva]

"Wrist console? I had no idea zone travel was possible without a warp ring or some other chaos energy-powered device. Though as far as my batteries go, they’re the end result of a long series of largely unsuccessful and in one case, almost lethal, experiments." Melissa didn’t particularly enjoy almost blowing herself up that one time and that other time where she ended up being sent to a completely different zone with no way back home until she came across Tails.

"What I did, however, was use a chaos energy condenser of my own design  to charge an artificial crystal. Crystals are capable of holding vast amounts of energy depending on the type after all."

[doctormariarobotnik]

Maria nodded to Melissa. "It's a simple matter of reverse engineering the Warp Ring and modifying it to be a more versatile method of dimensional travel. I use Chaos Drives to power my wrist console, but with a Chaos Energy battery it would have far greater scope." She thought as Melissa explained it. "Interesting. I shall give that a try."
