Inspired by Kaity the Chameleon's stories, I thought I'd make a Chaotix story.
It was a moonlit night as the Chaotix were walking home. All four of them were busy talking, all glad to have Mighty back for a while.
"I certainly has been a while since you last worked a case," Vector said, his arm around the armadillo's shoulder.
"Don't worry, I'm not that out of practice," Mighty chuckled.
"It'll be great having you stay for a few weeks!" Charmy said, buzzing along happily.
"Just don't get too crazy," Mighty laughed, acting as if he was messing Charmy's hair (if he had hair).
"Don't worry, some cases might be just as crazy," Vector joked, all four detectives laughing.
"Guys, do you hear that?" Espio asked as they walked past an alley. Stopping, they could hear clearly what was being shouted.
"Leave her alone! She told you to get lost!!" a male voice yelled, followed by the sound of savage punches. From the darkness, a lavender cat came running, accidently bumping into Espio.
"Miss, are you okay?" Espio asked, ready to launch himself into the fray if necessary.
"He's trying to take her, Skyfire's trying to stop him," the cat sobbed. Uncomfortable, Espio tried to lead her to the others, only to be thrown forward by a large wind. After three seconds, a dark blue hedgehog came flying out of the alley, smashing into the opposite building.
"Skyfire!" the cat screamed, running to the hedgehog. Charmy and Mighty followed while Espio and Vector ran into the alley, hoping to catch the hedgehog's opponent. Instead, all they found was a partly demolished alley and a necklace, small, delicate and made of gold, lying there.
As Espio looked over the two strangers, he couldn't help but feel awkward. The hedgehog was a darker blue than Sonic, almost bordering on black with seven quills, all of them drooping and each with a different coloured stripe. The hedgehog also had hair that was black mixed with dark blue, some over his left eye, both of which were sky blue with an orange ring around the pupil. He was wearing a black shirt, black jeans and black converse.
The cat that bumped into him was around the same age and height with long maroon/black hair, tan muzzle and arms, a dark pink tube top and jeans with pink boots. She had bright green eyes that at the moment seemed to bore into him.
"So, do you mind telling us both your names? Along with the name of your friend," Vector asked, sitting at his desk. Charmy was asleep in the cat's lap while Mighty sat next to the hedgehog.
"I'm Cynder, Cynder Adams. He's Skyfire Askew," the cat said, fiddling with her hair nervously.
"Our friend is Miranda Simmons, a black echidna," the hedgehog spoke, his voice heavy with loss. Espio picked this up as the two were lovers, or really close.
"Any relatives we need to notify?" Mighty asked.
"Miranda was the only one with relatives in Station Square. But her father wouldn't care," Cynder said, gently stroking Charmy's antennae.
"Either way, we need to notify him. Can you give us his address?" Vector asked, a notepad and pencil in hand. As Cynder said the address, Skyfire made an attempt to stand, groaning and collapsing back on the couch.
"You're not going anywhere Sky guy. There's a reason Mighty had to help you walk. You two can stay here for the night," Vector said, pointing his pencil at the hedgehog as he spoke.
"Thanks Vector," Cynder said, Skyfire only nodding in response. Charmy stirred, buzzing tiredly before hovering in front of Cynder.
"Aw, is it bed time already? I want to solve the case now!" Charmy yawned, barely flying.
"We'll start on the case tomorrow squirt. Kid like you needs to rest, and some of us need beauty sleep," Mighty joked, picking the young bee up and heading upstairs.
"Take your pick, me or Espio?" Vector asked, gesturing to Cynder.
"I guess I'll room with Espio," Cynder said, her voice heavy with sadness.
"Alright Skyfire, need a lift," Vector said, his large hand around Skyfire's waist as they went upstairs. Skyfire groaned a little, each step painful for him.
"You going to be okay?" Espio asked.
"I've just had one of my best friends kidnapped by some stalker and another beaten to a pulp and smashed into a building. I'm not even sure what okay is anymore," Cynder said, her head bowed in depression.
"Just relax. We'll find her and you can soon be happy," Espio said, brushing her hair away from her face.
"Just hope we don't have to go to school for a while. Last thing we need is someone making fun of us," Cynder said, a weak smile on her face.
"She seems so brave, almost like the others," Espio thought as he led Cynder to his room.
It was so cold. The room where the echidna woke up in was cold, bare and falling apart. She slowly opened her violet eyes, weakly trying to get up. As she moved her arms, she noticed the rattling of chains and the extra weight on her wrists.
Looking at the chains, she tried to pull them out of the wall, only stopping when the door opened.
"Sleep well my dark angel?" a calm, chilling voice asked, making the echidna whirl round.
"Michael, please, you can't keep me here," the echidna said, backing into the wall as the grey wolf stepped forward.
"I'm so sorry for the room, but ours isn't quite ready yet," he said, catching her chin in his hand.
"I told you years ago, it's over. Once Skyfire finds you, he'll tear you apart," Miranda said, unable to avoid his dark red eyes.
"You just don't see it yet. We were meant to be together Miranda. We're both the same," he answered, his fangs just visible in the darkness. Miranda only shivered, baring her own fangs to try and scare him off.
"Yeah, and my half might have the lust for blood," Miranda snarled, biting the arm under her chin. As Michael clutched his arm, Miranda tried to use her powers, but failed.
"I knew your powers were blocked when you were bound. I really am so sorry for the accommodations, but like I said, our room isn't ready," Michael said as he left the room, locking the door after him. When she was sure he was gone, Miranda collapsed to her knees, crying into her hands. Like the image in one of her many posters, she was like a captive angel.
