Here it is, the Child of Chaos! Most of this chapter is kinda explaining things and descriptions of the characters. Sorry if it's not too exciting just yet...hope you all like, read and review! I have updated Mach's age to late teens (likely 18) after much consideration, hence why I am updating this chapter. It is exactly the same, but with late-teens instead of mid-teens near the beginning of Mach's description.
"Chloe!" A black chameleon with a dull brown muzzle and pink-purple spikes turned towards the voice. Two of these spikes came from the back of her head and looked somewhat like Cream the Rabbit's hair, mid-thighs down on her legs and halfway down her upper arm the same colour with a slightly curled hedgehog tail and gold horn from a little above where her nose should have been.
"Coming!" Orange eyes made red by a red visor made specially to go around her horn attached to what looked like black and dark purple ear-covering headphones with rings attached, the 14 year old called back to the voice. A black tank top with a red line across her stomach and off-the-shoulder dark purple sleeves covering her arms and otherwise uncovered palms. Bright yellow shorts that only went to her mid-thighs and shoes like Amy Rose's only dark purple with black line and trim. "A new job or something?" As the daughter of Espio the Chameleon and Eclipse the Hedgehog the girl, given the name Chloe the Hedgeleon, worked as a detective with her two friends...the group of three were known as the Chaotix Kids, thanks to at least one of their parents each being a Chaotix member, though the actual name of the team was Team Teerbid.
"No, there is something weird going on..." Stated a green crocodile with yellow upper-body, muzzle, inner ear and arms; rabbit ears and red-brown eyes also marking the girl as the daughter of Vector the Crocodile and Vanilla the Rabbit.
"What do you mean something weird?" Chloe asked the 10 year old girl, given the name Custard the Rabbidile by her parents. A cream lining around her eyes, orange-brown tuff of fur right between her eyes and at the back of her head.
"I do not really know how to explain it..." Custard stated, her outfit was a dull yet dark red shirt with a neckline that stopped just above her chest and very short white sleeves, white skirt going to mid-thigh while her boots were like Chloe's with no stripe down the middle but the same colour as her shirt and white trim. Her gloves were white with two black ring-like things at her wrists.
"There's some odd boy in there." Stated the 7 year old boy, a bee who looked very much like his father but with two sets of wings and violet eyes.
"Odd boy?" Chloe questioned, the boy who was given the name Kamana Bee by his parents Charmy Bee and Aahlaad the Butterfly. Kamana nodded, his outfit consisting of a dark blue helmet with brown trim and holes for his bee antenna, white and brown gloves along with a brown pilot's jacket and brown and white shoes.
"There's no other way to describe him, Leader." The bee-butterfly used the title in mocking, his hands on his hips and on a silver belt with Dummy Rings attached and brown goggles over his helmet. The chameleon-hedgehog groaned and looked in through to window to see what her teammates were talking about...only for her to stifle a gasp.
"Who...who is that?" The orange eyed girl demanded. The boy was a blue hedgehog in his late-teens with bright red stripes going through his short quills, his back to her so the girl unable to see his eyes or muzzle. He wore a long deep red coat with black trim at the end of the sleeves which stopped a bit past his elbows and the bottom of his coat, his wrists and neck both having black collars or wristbands with spikes...like the hybrid ninja herself, his blue hands were bare beyond the wristbands.
"We would tell you if we knew Chloe." Responded the green and yellow money keeper in the group, staring at the boy also. She had seen him with a black tank top since his coat was open and black jeans to match, black and red goggles and two belts; one black and the other dark red, held together with a skull-like clip. His shoes were like dark red and black versions of Sonic's shoes with two stripes and silver buckles...however what made her the most nervous when she'd looked at him was the bright red eyes and tan muzzle.
"...I'm guessing you don't know why he's talking to Mom either, huh?" The eldest of the trio asked, both her teammates shaking their heads. While Eclipse hadn't changed a bit, in looks or in outfit, no one around the headquarters ever found it odd...neither were customers for the Chaotix, but this boy didn't look like a customer to them. Carefully Chloe opened the window behind the boy, her mother was just within sight but wouldn't notice the window being opened slightly as the girl and her female friend knelt so no one would see them as they listened in.
"You've tried Knuckles already?" Eclipse asked, the Chaotix and their lovers with her but not in sight from the window as she spoke to the boy. He huffed as if insulted.
"Where would be better to start to look for the 'Child of Chaos'?" The blue and red hedgehog pointed out in annoyance. "That is why I came to YOU, M...Eclipse." He added as he absently glared at Espio who was at the side of the black and red hedgehog.
"Right, right." The skater agreed, looking thoughtful.
"Perhaps Sonic and Amy's daughter...Cherise Rose Hedgehog I believe." The purple chameleon suggested to the two hedgehogs, no one missing the look of disgust on the boy's face when the purple ninja mentioned Sonic and Amy with their daughter. The red-eyed teen-looking girl still looked thoughtful.
"...It would certainly be a good start." She agreed, nodding. "We of the Chaotix, the team and the agency, will help you search for this 'Child of Chaos' free of charge." She told the red eyed boy, who narrowed his eyes all the more at her.
"What's the catch?" He asked.
"Simple." Eclipse said. "Just tell us your name. We won't work for anyone we don't know the name of." She stated. The boy paused for a moment, clearly thinking it over before nodding.
"My name is Mach...Mach the Hedgehog."
Just who is this 'Mach the Hedgehog'? And who or what is the 'Child of Chaos' and why is he looking for them? Looks like we'll have to wait to see, see ya! Please read the bold in the author's note at the top if you have not already or are wondering why the chapter was updated with seemingly no changes.
