Hush

"My death saved Her, saved me."

## Overview

***Hush*** is a corrupted Sonic Adventure 2 Battle EXE made by Ro. He is the result of a player swapping the Models of Maria Robotnik and Shadow Robotnik. This resulted in the scene where Maria was shown to die having Shadow in her place and Maria in his.

## Biography

Shadow and Maria Robotnik's models are swapped by the player, altering the gameplay and cutscenes of Sonic Adventure 2. Due to Shadow being much more difficult to kill than Maria, GUN set's the escape pod room on fire. Shadow manages to send Maria to Earth in his place before succumbing to smoke inhalation. Hush forms by taking textures loaded in the system memory to recreate his body, resulting in his smokey and fiery form. Hush had also gained knowledge of the entire story of the game. Hush then haunts the cryo-stasis room that she was placed in.

When the player as Eggman storms the GUN facility he sees Hush shambling around corners; Initially thinking its an easter egg to fight Sonic they start attacking him, which results in Hush using his illusions to take the appearance of an invulnerable creature engulfed in flames to chase them to the end of the level. During the scripted cutscenes he also manipulates Eggman's perception to believe the terminal he interacts with will lock down the room he's entered and prevent Hush from approaching; This results in Eggman unfreezing Maria by accident, as Hush had intended knowing that Eggman would do nothing to unfreeze her if he had noticed she was just a human child.

Hush then goes on to protect Maria, without her being able to see him, for the entire game. Most NPC’s avoid her in fear of Hush, who can always be found just barely within sight with a finger over his muzzle. This action along with his raspy voice as a result of his death is what earned him his name. The only NPC’s that do approach Hush are Sonic and the Chao.
