CHAPTER 1

DISAGREEMENTS

It was early in the afternoon and the Chaotix team just got back from another exhausting mission. As everyone came into the lobby of their headquarters, it looked as though they were about to drop dead to the floor.

With a sympathetic look, a kid bee turned to a purple chameleon who was covered in some kind of green thick liquid. He saw him giving him a not so happy look back at him.

"I swear…that's the last time I'm gonna be partners with that stupid kid!" He exclaimed as he tried wiping off some of the strange substance that was on his body.

Tears swelled in the young bee's eyes as he heard the chameleon's hurtful words. "Stupid…kid?"

The purple cat girl saw the kid bee about to burst into tears. "Oh Charmy, don't…" She then saw the bee sit in the middle of the floor and start sobbing loudly. She gave the bee a sad look and then turned to the chameleon with uprising rage. She placed her hands on her hips and glared at him. "Now look what you've done, Espio!"

The chameleon pointed to himself in confusion, "What? Are you blinded, woman? Look what that brat did to me?"

A white bat woman stared at the weird gooey substance that was all over Espio's body. "So uh…what is that anyway?"

"I don't know!" He shouted in aggravation.

She rose an eyebrow as she grew even more curious about it, "Can I…touch it?"

He gave the bat a long and blank look before even responding to her. "Um no! Gross!"

The white bat then heard a chuckle coming from a black and red hedgehog.

"What's wrong, bat girl? Curious to find out how disgusting you feel like?"

The bat punched him hard in the arm, "Shut up, Shadow! You and your ignorant jokes are as corny and lame as your leadership skills!"

The hedgehog gritted his teeth and clenched him fist in uprising anger at her. "What?"

She crossed her arms and gave him an annoyed look, "After all it was your fault the mission was a failure! If you weren't trying to boss to everyone around, then maybe the mission would've went a little better!"

"Um excuse me princess, but I am the captain after all and whatever I say goes!"

She turned away from him, disgusted with his attitude. "You are so full of yourself! You don't deserve to be captain! It felt like we were being led around by a brain dead idiot!"

"What did you say you big headed, bat!" He shouted as he began to shake his fist at her.

She crossed her arms and gave him a cold glare, "You heard me!"

"You know…" The chameleon began, "Bat girl does have a point. You were so called in charge so I think everyone has the right to blame it on you."

The hedgehog turned to the chameleon with uprising anger, "Shut up! It's so not my fault! You're just taking her side because your jealous of me!"

The purple chameleon pointed to himself with a dumbfounded expression on his face, "Jealous of you? What the fuck ever, dude! Get real!"

"Don't deny it! You're jealous! You've always been jealous of me! You can't seem to handle the fact that I'm better than you at something!"

The chameleon had gotten closer to him and began to wave his finger around in front of his face. "Jeez! The nerve of you! Who knew you were such an egotistical jerk!"

"Hey!" The purple cat spat, "Back off, Espio! Shadow is an amazing Captain! It's that stupid bat's fault! She's always sticking her nose in shit where it doesn't belong!"

Rouge couldn't help but to make her way over to the cat girl and shove her angrily. "Ugh! You're such an ass kisser! Is that all your good for, you pathetic paper pusher!"

Before Tonya could lay her hands on the furious bat woman, Charmy stepped in between them.

"Come on, guys! Don't fight!" The bee begged with teary eyes. He hated violence and it saddened him that everyone was arguing with each other.

"Give me one good reason not to claw her freakin' wings off!" The cat growled in a hateful tone while Rouge was giving her a menacing glare back at her.

While Charmy was trying to settle them down, Espio couldn't help but to snicker towards Shadow. "Better go get your woman, dude."

A light blush formed on his face from his comment. He knew that Espio was the only one who knew that Shadow and Rouge were always seeing each other outside of work and sometimes within work as well. "I told you to shut your mouth about that", he growled.

"What? Not my fault you two are always getting caught in a shitstorm and awkwardly making up afterwards."

His blush had deepened even more in embarrassment, "At least I can get fucking laid you little creep!"

He pointed his finger in front of his face, "You take that back, you tight pants wearing sissy emo boy!"

He smacked his hand away from him and grabbed him by the collar of his blue sleeveless coat, "I'll kill you!"

Before Rouge, Tonya, Espio, and Shadow could fight each other, a green crocodile stormed into the lobby in annoyance. "What the hell is going on?"

Everyone froze and immediately stopped what they were doing with their eyes focused on their leader.

A frightened bee flew into his arms with his body trembling, "Boss! It was awful! I thought they were all going to kill each other!"

His eyes widened at how upset he was and thought the group must've been acting pretty reckless to each other. "What? Okay what's going on here?" His eyes shot over to the black and red hedgehog, "Shadow, explain! Now!"

He hesitated as he didn't really know how to start or to explain what had happened. "Well…uh you see…" He suddenly saw Rouge pointing at him.

"It's all Shadow's fault, Vector! He started yelling and blaming everyone just because the mission went bad!"

He angrily smacked her hand away from him and fixed his eyes on her. "You lying little bitch! I didn't do any of that!"

"Oh yeah? What were you doing exactly when Vector walked in? You sure as hell weren't trying to calm anyone down!"

Vector knew how pointless Shadow and Rouge had argued and he decided to stop them before they got too carried away. "Uh, guys?"

"But what about Espio?" Tonya spoke in a disgusted tone as she turned to him and crossed her arms. "He was yelling at poor Charmy for no good reason."

The chameleon heavy sighed and pointed to himself. "Do I seriously have to explain what that freak did to me?"

"Don't call him that! You'll hurt his feelings!" Tonya spat.

Vector didn't think anyone had heard him try to get their attention the first time so he attempted again, "Guys?"

Espio turned away from the cat girl in annoyance. "Not my fault he's such a freakin' baby."

"Guys?"

Shadow formed a smirk and crossed his arms. "Wow and I'm supposed to be the heartless asshole."

"Shut your mouth, Shadow!" The chameleon spat.

"Guys!" Vector's shouting echoed all throughout the building and had startled everyone making them instantly quiet. "I've never seen you all act like this! And I should never have to! Your behavior is unacceptable!"

From Vector's loud and firm voice, Charmy couldn't help but to hide behind Vector's leg.

"But Vector, can I just say…" Shadow's sentence was quickly cut off over Vectot's overpowering voice.

"No buts! The only butts I want is all of yours marching into that conference room! We're having a meeting!"

Everyone watched as Vector made his way towards the door of the conference room across from them. They were startled as Vector's loud voice was heard again.

"Now!"

Everyone looked at each other for a moment and decided to walk into the room.

Espio however was stopped before he could walk any further by Vector.

"Except you, Espio. Clean yourself up a bit and then we'll start."

The chameleon made a small nod and started to walk into the bathroom until Vector called out to him again.

"Hey, Es?"

He slowly spun himself around so he could face him.

"…What is that stuff anyway?"

There was a long and awkward pause before Espio could give him an answer. "I…I don't know…"

"…I see. Carry on then."

He let of a long and heavy sigh and continued to walk towards the bathroom to get cleaned up.

A/N:

Vector: Why is it so freakin' hard to get along?

Espio: I think certain hedgehogs need to stop acting so cocky!

Shadow: And I think certain chameleons need to stop thinking with their cock!

Vector: You're impossible!

Tonya: Like Rouge's sick and twisted obsession with jewels?

Rouge: Oh! It's on now!

Charmy: When will it end?

Vector: That's it! You all will learn to work together! Even if it kills me!
