A Fading Savior

by IrisatinetheVain

Noxious, who lives in a small trading village called Crystal Bay, lived a somewhat adventurous life as an average chameleon. Until the day that Eggman comes to town, builds his factory, and pollutes her village's water and air. He forces all of the villagers to live in oppression and serve him, trading goods for his own ill gain. This all changes once he meets the new heroine.

Noxious: The Radioactive Chameleon

I used to be your average chameleon. Blue and red scales that would fade into violet, brown eyes, and small spikes down my back. That was me until the day I fell off my aunt's trading boat. We used to go all over Mobius and into the far reaches of the planet, obtaining all kinds of exotic goods that the people back home needed. But one day it all changed whenever the big industries moved on our block. The CEO, apparently someone called Eggman, depleted all of our natural resources and the sea turned dark. Crystal Bay was now a wasteland.

The day I fell off the boat was the same day that the factories sent a continuous stream of volatile chemicals into the water. As I descended into the hostile depths, my tail became entangled with some plastic trash below. soon, I felt the poisonous waters seep into me as I began to change. It was like a horrible burning feeling all over my scales. When I opened my eyes back up, I saw green light emanating around me. It was coming from within myself, my whole body lit up with radioactivity. I would later find out that my eyesight had developed more and that my eyes were now blazing gold.

Due to my new "gift", the plastic that had held me under now melted away from the contact with my scales. In some parts, the lower part of my body became an opaque see-through, exposing my spine and some ribs. I raced to reach the surface in time before I'd blackout from lack of oxygen. Taking a large gulp of air as soon as my head poked through the surface. I crawled into the nearest drainage pipe and into a trash dump. The next few days, I had overheard the tech guards talking about my Aunt Tisas' and cousin Espios' funeral for me. But I knew I had to stay away. Anything that came too close to me I would undoubtedly kill with my extreme radiation waves. Solitude was my best bet. I realize now, that it must be.
