|Third Person POV|

Tails had his hand on his chin as he was going over all the files that he had extracted from Metal, before shutting him down completely. He didn't need the robot to be turned on anymore, now that Sonic is feeling better, he didn't need Metal to be turned on, he was just going over the data that the robot has collected, and videos that of what the robot saw when he was one mobius hunting for the remaining Mobains, nothing new from what the survivors have said, nothing but an empty wasteland. You'd be lucky if you found fresh water out there in the wild, a video explaining the state of Shadow when Scourge found him, but he was still alive only briefly, nothing that he didn't need to remember. He continues looking through the video, sipping on his cup of coffee. "What's this...September Seventh?" He read before playing video.

"Where the hell are they!"

The video was from Metal's point of view, but it shows a very much alive Eggman, who looks somewhat different, still that same egg-shape, but with a robotic arm, not that it matter, all he knows is that this was right before Metal attacked the Ark, it's good to know that Eggman was looking for them.

"Don't look at me fatso!"

Tails just rolls his eyes at the green tenrec, that was sitting at the table with her legs resting on the table, If course she'd work for Eggman, after all she hated Sonic.

"He's asking all of us not just you..."

Infinite, that very jackal that cause a war, with a new phantom ruby attached to his chest was sitting at the table.

"Well they were heading up to space, Doctor, so their must be something up there."

Eggman stopped to think, before a smile spreads across his face and he pointed to Metal, Tails didn't bother to finish the rest of the video since he can piece together, the fox only lets out another sigh, at least it was enough to answer his question about Eggman being alive, he just wasn't gonna question how he was able to live through all the destruction he cause, them again he wonders how the Mobains are able to live in an environment that is so destroyed to the point that it looks like a different planet from space. "Hello?..." Tails said seeing a voice recording of Metal and Sonic, when they were fighting on the other day when the meeting happen, he presses play on the recording.

"What's wrong Sonic...afraid that you might lose it."

"...Argh...I'm just getting started..."

Tails only looks down, he felt bad for not knowing that Sonic was already fighting the negativity, and even after Shadic was born. But there was nothing else in the recording.

"AHH!!"

Tails flinches back when he heard Sonic scream, out in pain the recording, that must have explained the bloody hand print on the wall, and the sound of something dripping onto the floor. Did it hurt Sonic? And nobody notices it.

"What's wrong my lonesome Copy...bleeding?"

"You'll fucking pay for that!"

Tails flinched back, the voice was deep and angry. Was Metal actually trying to let this Dark Form come out, or? He just blinks and turns the recording off everything after that point was what he already new from the cameras. He putting his empty mug down on the table and rubs his head, he really wasn't getting any answers from Metal, or at least from he could make of it, after all he had cut all connections Metal May have had with Eggman. "I guess...It's all on G.U.N now, Metal doesn't have the information that needed answers...besides that Eggman and his followers are still alive." He says turning of his computer, getting up from his desk and heading over to the door he looks back over at Metal before stepping into his apartment the door closing behind him.

When Morning came around, or what the Mobians can assume to be morning, a human wearing a military outfit with a Commander Badge on right side of his chest, Rouge was just sitting on his desk filling down her nails they were waiting for the Ultimate Life Form, to show up. The metal door slid opened and Shadow walked into the room, Maria behind him wearing her rainbow dash theme backpack, the only reason why she was here was because, in this part of the Ark had a training room, with Maria being seven her chaos abilities are only getting stronger.

"Ah Agent Sh-" the human started before he gaze shifted to the small hedgehog that was holding Shadow's hand looking around the room, and at all the photos of the Commander, and the founding of G.U.N that she didn't understand. "Uh...I didn't know you had a daughter..."

"There's a lot we keep from you, Commander..." Rouge hissed getting off of the desk putting her nail file away into her pocket and kneels down holding her arms out for Maria, who ran up to hug her, her tail wagging and purring.

"Ugh...You still don't trust me..."

"Of course not...you tried killing me, twice..." Shadow growled folding his arms "and I only brought her here, to take advantage of that training room." He holds his hand out to Maria who took it, following the ebony hedgehog out of the room.

"Tsk...Not like I would us her for my plans" The human muttered folding his arms.

"Dunno, you did threaten Shadow with Sonic's life if he didn't work for you so not trusting you isn't that far-fetch." Rouge commented following after Shadow, "And Commander...if you do hurt those kids...I'm not gonna hesitate with stopping Shadow this time." She hissed the door closing when she left.

The Commander only sat down at his desk, rubbing his head, things hadn't really been going well for him it's not that he hated the Mobians it's just that he hated the idea of living up in space while the enemy causing mayhem on Mobius, the planet that he swore to protect, and yet he's forced to keep the Mobains safe, on the Ark that had to have an extreme make over. He looks over the data that was sent to him from a certain fox, mostly just the data, of information that Metal had.

"So had a nice chill time yesterday?" Rouge asked Shadow walking beside him.

"Good...I guess, I'm just worried about Sonic." Shadow responded.

"Is it because everyone looks up to him for guidance?"

Shadow looks down at Maria when they made it to the training room he opens the door and lets Maria inside, "I need to talk to your Aunt, okay Maria?"

"Okay Daddy" Maria smiled as she goes over to the the desk that controlled the simulation, she puts her back pack down on the seat and waits.

"Maria, Asked about Mobius..."

"What did he tell her?"

"What he could...He was to point that he was almost in tears, I know she's starting to realize that we can't go back...and how much of a help she is with Shadic."

"But?"

"I know her and Sonic, miss that fresh air, rush of running through those Zones." Shadow explains, it pains him to be that kind of guy to shut Sonic into one location, if anything hurts his heart knowing how much of this situation was hurting the blue hedgehog, to the point that he was stressing over it, but mostly it was making him frustrated to the point of tears. "And the Ark just can't give them that..."

Rouge folded her wings to back, "I can't say I hadn't noticed that...and that Speech, I know all of us heard it in his voice how much he was hurting...to him this place must be like prison."

"That's what I'm afraid of...I don't want to lose him to something that is out of our control, and Maria..." a sigh escapes his lips.

"I'm sure he's not gonna do anything that's risky...after all he has you back, and Family, Friends that care about him." Rouge said putting a hand on his shoulder. "But speaking of Shaundre, how is he doing?"

"He took his first steps...still struggling with the talking, at least he's about to keep the three us happy, something that I'm confused about." Shadow said he just rubs his head with his hand "But I had Amy and Blaze stay with Sonic...I'm at least keeping up with the doctor's orders of not leaving him alone."

Rouge nodded before she removed her hand of Shadow's shoulder, she is deeply concerned about the blue blur now after hearing how trapped Sonic felt on the space station, she watched Shadow enter into the training room with Maria, she stays behind the looking glass to watch, and film for Sonic's sake. But the thought of him taking his own life, and the cutting from when Shadow was in a coma. She was gonna have to ask Scourge about Mobius...as much as the green hedgehog hates to admit that he cares about his family, at least he can understand what his twin brother is feeling, watching the two hedgehog's train, mostly Shadow showing Maria how to use Chaos Spear, their was a big energy difference while Shadow's was mixture of green and red, Maria's energy was a pale purple color. Rouge couldn't help but to smile, she hated to think that Maria would be upset about not being able to go back to Mobius, but seeing what Shadow said, her and Sonic must run together through those zones.

"It's okay...Rouge...Sonic wouldn't do that...at least not now..." She tells herself trying not to be negative, but just sight of Sonic crying over for Shadow, to that speech trying to lift everyone spirits, instead of his own, hopes. A tear falls from the side of her face just thinking about losing a close friend to something that was out of everyone's control.
