A/N: Here we go again. Team Chaotix and Team Diamond collision.
It's been a quiet day for the Chaotix. Who were they kidding, it's been quiet for some months now. Vector was at his desk looking at the bills they need to pay. They were struggling to pay them. So far they managed to pay the electric and water, but barely. All they had to pay now was the rent.
"Shit." Vector said under his breath. They had to pay 850.
He got up and walked to the safe. He put in the combination that made it open. He opened the door and got the money.
"Double shit." He said. They only had three dollars left. They were going to be evicted.
Charmy came rushing into the room Vector was in.
"Charmy, what are you doing in here?" Vector asked.
"Vector some people in a big truck is in here." Charmy said.
"Triple shit." Vector said rushing out the room.
He ran in the living room to see the landlord standing with three other guys.
"Uh, what are you doing here Mr. Nelson?" Vector asked, trying to play cool.
"You're behind on your rent by some months." He said.
"And…" Vector was trying to finish before the landlord interrupted.
"And I warned you if you didn't pay them today we were going to evict you." Mr. Nelson said in a serious tone. "Now, do you have the money or not?"
"Uh, well funny story." Vector said, putting his hand around his neck.
Mr. Nelson was quiet until, "Kick them out." He told the guys behind him.
The guys gave him a nod and did what they was told. They kicked the Chaotix out, literally.
They landed on the ground outside the office.
"Y'all have three weeks or I'm putting this on auction." The landlord said, slamming the door.
"What?! They can't do this!" Vector was telling kicking the ground.
"Actually they can. This is the guy's land." Espio said calm.
"Shut it Espio." Vector growled. He started to think. "How are we going to get the money?"
"Get a job." Espio said.
"We won't be able to get all the money in three weeks." Vector said.
"Can't we just ask somebody to give us the money?" Charmy said.
"Don't be…" Vector thought on it "…that might work."
"And who exactly will give us 3600 for free?" Espio asked.
"Do you think Sonic would give it to us?" Vector asked back.
"Doubt it." Espio answered.
"Tails?"
Espio shook his head as a response.
"How bout Rouge?"
"Rouge?" Espio was confused with that one.
"Yeah, ya know she collects gems, she might had pawned some of em." He answered.
"I don't think so."
"How about those Diamond girls?" Charmy asked.
"That should be the last people we should ask." Vector grumbled.
He didn't really like them. Especially Krypta. If it wasn't for Espio and Kiko, the fight wouldn't end up as a tie.
"I have to disagree." Espio said.
"What?"
"Of all the people we know they are the richest and we have a better chance of them giving us the money." He explained.
"You gotta be joking Espio. The only reason why you want to see them is to see that echidna girl." Vector countered.
"What? No I don't." Espio said mildly blushing.
"You're even blushing." Vector said mildly laughing.
Charmy started to laugh also saying, "Espio has a girlfriend."
"Shut up," Espio said, getting a little peeved. "If y'all don't want to get the money then I will." Espio was marching off.
"Do you even know where she lives?" Vector asked looking at the furious chameleon walking off.
Espio stopped. "No," He said. "I was just going somewhere that have a phone so I can call them to meet them."
"Oh, so she is your girlfriend." Vector said trying to contain his laughter.
"For the second time she's not my girlfriend."
"She gotta be if you have her phone number." Vector retaliated. "Matter of fact, how did you get her number.
"She's not my girlfriend." He grunted before walking off.
Vector and Charmy went ahead and followed the pissed off ninja.
-o-
The three detectives walked to Emerald City into a phone booth.
Espio got the number strip from his glove compartment, ignoring the laughter behind him. He got the phone off the hook and pushed in the numbers.
(Team Diamond's place)
Kate was playing her video games, Kiko was meditating, and Krypta was half asleep listening to music.
As the three was relaxing the phone started to ring.
As the phone kept ringing Kiko opened up one eye looking at the rest of the team. Since Krypta was listening to her music loudly she couldn't hear the phone. Kate didn't want to pick up since she was on the last level and wanted to play nonstop.
"Fine. I guess I'll get it." Kiko said getting up.
Kiko walked over to the desk and picked up the phone.
"Hello. Team Diamond Fighting Force Agency where we can assassinate your problems away. How can we help you?" Kiko said in a unenthusiastic tone.
/
"Yeah, this is Espio." Espio said.
Kiko perked up a bit. "Hey Espio, what do you need? Krypta hasn't been beating Vector again has she?"
"Nuh. After Vector's beat down she haven't messed with him." Espio answered.
"Hey!" Vector shouted.
"Then what do you acquire?" Kiko asked.
"We rather talk in person about this with the rest of your team." He explained. "Where exactly do you live?"
Kiko started to blush, but not enough to be noticed. "Mystic Ange 1568. It's about two miles away from Emerald City. Just take a left after you see a stump in the middle of a fork road."
"Alright be there in a hour and a half." He said before hanging up.
/
Kiko put the phone down and turned around to see Krypta standing behind her smiling a bit. Kiko jumped a little.
"How long have you been standing there? More importantly, how come I didn't hear you? Kiko asked.
"Since the whole conservation." Krypta answered.
"Okay then." Kiko said walking off.
"So who's coming? Jour boyfriend." Krypta said following her.
"And, who exactly is my boyfriend?" Kiko stopped and asked.
"Ja know, that chameleon with those detectives."
"He is not my boyfriend and actually its all the Chaotix guys who's coming." Kiko said.
"Hold it," Krypta said getting in front of Kiko. "What do jou mean by all of them? Maybe that chameleon and that bee, but not that alligator."
"Crocodile." Kiko said.
"Alligator crocodile, what's the difference?"
"Well a crocodile has its teeth showing while its mouth is closed and the alligator doesn't." Kate cut in.
"Who asked jou Kate!?" Krypta shouted at the youngest member.
"Calm down Krypta," Kiko said, she started thinking, "Have you been taking your pills lately?"
"No. Because I don't need pills to calm me down. J'all think I'm bipolar, but I'm not. I just like showing my emotions." Krypta said.
"Go take your pills or smoke your marijuana to calm down, because their coming in a hour and a half and you need to behave yourself." Kiko said to Krypta before leaving out the room.
"Fine. I'll go smoke my Mary Jane." Krypta said also walking out the room.
-o-
The Chaotix have been walking for more than an hour.
"Are we there yet?" Charmy asked tired of both walking and flying.
"We'll get there when we'll get there." Vector said for the sixth time to the bee.
They already had went left of the stump Kiko had said for their directions. They should be at the house in about five more minutes.
As they kept walking they started to see a large house.
"Hooray," Charmy cheered. "We're here!"
"Hold your horses Charmy. We don't want to show any enthusiasm." Vector said.
The house was a two story mansion like. It had about 276 square feet wide. It had a wide yard about 158 yards from other people yards.
"These three are rich." Vector said, climbing up the steps.
Vector had knocked on the door and waited. About ten seconds later Kate opened the door. She moved to the side as a gesture to come in.
"This way." She guided, after closing the door.
She lead them to the living room which had a maroon color theme. The walls were tan but the couches was maroon leather with some tan pillows. Krypta was seating on the recliner and Kiko was standing up in the corner. The Chaotix sat on the couch.
"Alright since j'all are here. What do jou want?" Krypta asked plainly.
"Well the problem is…" Vector was trying to explain the situation.
"Ja need some money?" Krypta asked.
"How did you know?" Espio asked.
"I'm smart like that," Krypta answered looking at her dog like nails. "How much?"
"You mean you'll actually give it to us?" Vector was a bit astonish.
"Tell me the amount or I'll change my mind."
"3600." Vector simply said.
"Whoa, I think I need to check my ears," Krypta said digging in her ears. "Did jou just say 3600? Maybe if it was a hundred dollars but 3600. It was nice seeing ja, but jou have to go."
"What?! We know you have the money." Vector said getting a little angry.
"Jou really expect us to give jou 3600 for free taking. Jou must have a more twisted head than I thought." Krypta said.
"Hold it, who are you calling twisted?" Vector said almost shouting. He was starting to stand up.
"I'm calling jou twisted." Krypta said also standing up walking close to Vector.
Before they could get into a fight both Kiko and Espio separated them up.
"Calm down Krypta," Kiko said. "The last thing we need is a investigation team to come over here about murder. Just sit down, will ya?"
"I'm not sitting down." Krypta said, showing her bare teeth.
"Just give them the money Krypta so they can just go." Kate interrupted.
Krypta sat down back on the recliner and started to think. After a few minutes of silence she spoke again, but in a calm tone.
"Let's make a deal," Krypta started to say. "I'll give jou the money as long as jou and jour team do at least one job with us."
Vector started to think. "Sorry, but I'm not helping you with your assassin jobs. I'm not into the illegal business."
"Our job is not illegal. And we just don't kill anyone. We kill criminals. And besides, it's very good pay." Krypta said, rubbing her fingers together. "How much money do jou make for a case?"
Vector started to think again, "About 500 a maximum."
"How about five thousand a maximum?" She said with a smirk.
"F-f-five thousand?" Vector started to stutter.
"Jes, five thousand. The least we could get is a thousand."
"Just one job." Espio was trying to make sure.
"Just one and no more," Krypta said. She once again got up and held her hand out. "Do we have a deal?"
"Deal." Vector said shaking his hand as a agreement.
"Great. Lets start the training."
Alright, finished chapter one :) And yes Krypta smokes pot. She is 21 which means she IS legal to smoke it. And I'm going to get this straight. I DON'T and NEVER will smoke.
