Sonic X Pilot: PROJECT AMAYA

Before the tragedy that would erase her from time, Amaya the Hedgehog awoke on the Space Colony ARK to a world of soft lights and gentle laughter. Under Maria's warm guidance and Professor Gerald's proud smile, she and her brother Shadow spent their days learning, exploring-and in the quiet hours between experiments, filling the sterile halls with music. Amaya cooked homemade meals from recipes Maria taught her, Shadow played piano with surprising tenderness, and together they sang, danced, and chased each other through the weightless research decks, their joy echoing like stardust across the colony.

But that peace shattered the day G.U.N. stormed the ARK. Flashing alarms drowned out their songs. Maria's scream cut through steel. Shadow was torn from her grasp, and Amaya-mute from terror and smoke-was forced into a stasis pod she never chose. Silence swallowed her as the ARK fell into darkness for fifty long, frozen years.

When Amaya finally emerged, she was a ghost from a forgotten tragedy-her voice still lost, her memories fractured, her eyes burning with untamed Chaos energy. She wandered Station Square under an oversized hood, a quiet shadow among crowds who never noticed her.

Until the day the city shook.

Eggman attacked. Chaos surged. And as Sonic, Shadow, and the others clashed with the scientist's new mech, a crimson blur streaked across the rooftops. A silent guardian. A survivor the world had overlooked.

The children whispered.
Tails stared.
Even Sonic hesitated.

Because through the smoke, they finally saw her-
a mysterious mute Chaos user with the same burning aura as Shadow... yet not an enemy.
Not yet an ally.
Not yet his.

Just a spark of the past, stepping back into a world that had forgotten she existed-
and the moment she intervened, saving Chris and Cream in a single breathless blur,
everyone realized:

This was no ordinary hedgehog.
This was someone the world was never meant to lose.
And her story was only just beginning.
