Finding the Seedrians

Shadow's POV

It had been a while since I had seen Faker and his friends, or pretty much anyone I knew. Everything was quiet. For me this meant that everything was boring. I could imagine it, Faker relaxing in a green meadow, his friends enjoying life until Amy starting chasing after Faker. At this time I was in the middle of a forest, they relaxed me. But then I saw a light, coming out of this big tree. It soon took the form of a familiar face. It was Cosmo, Cosmo the Seedrian. She stood in front of me with her usual half smile on her face.

"Hello Shadow" she said "long time no see"

"C-Cosmo! What are you doing here?"

"Hehe, well I've come to ask you a big favour"

"Favour? What king of favour?"

"Well do you remember the day I died?"

"Yea, you saved the world and spread the seeds of your colony"

"Yes well, some of the seeds. T-They have become Seedrians"

"W-What! They weren't supposed to become Seedrians were they!"

"No, but something on the earth has changed their growth patterns"

"What do you want me to do about it?"

"I want you to look for them and bring them together"

"Why would I do that?"

"Please Shadow, I want my children to have a better life then me and my clan did"

"How would I even find them? How many of them are their?"

"If you look in the news and ask around I'm sure you are bound to hear something. As for how many there are I'm not sure but there are quite a few"

"Hmm I guess I could do it but what's in it for me?"

"Each child has a special ability that can help you on your journey and if you want I'm sure some of them would love to join your team"

"Fine then I'll give it a go"

"Thank you Shadow" and just like that she disappeared.

So that was it, I was looking for the Seedrians. But that was the thing; I didn't know where to look first. They could be anywhere, even on the other side of the world so where to start?

I thought about it overnight and eventually decided to ask around London. I had a feeling that I would find something there.

I spent half the day asking around but nothing. So I decided to go with the other thing Cosmo said, look in the news.

Jackpot, I found what I was looking for. There was a skateboarding competition in town and one of the hopeful competitors was a young Seedrian called Marley. She looked very similar to this. .com/art/sonic-riders-cosmo-33350646

The competition started tomorrow but most of the competitors were going to the area to get some practise so I guessed that's where she would be so I headed over to the skating arena.

It was packed with skaters and fans, busy and practising there hardest. There were so many people and I couldn't see the girl anywhere. Maybe she wasn't here? But then everything froze and everyone looked up at the tallest ramp in the arena. It was Marley. She had her board and looked confident. She jumped on her board and skated down the ramp, across the slopes and completed the course at lightning speed. She was good I had to admit.

I waited in the arena for the rest of the day until it closed. All the skaters left including Marley so I ran up to her and asked her if I could talk to her for a moment. She agreed and we walked into the local park and up to the swings.

"So what can I do for ya?" She said "Autograph? Photo?"

"No I'm here about your mother"

"Mother? I don't have a mother, what you yabbing on about"

I explained about her mother and what she had asked me to do. She gave me this confused look except when she nodded telling me that she understood.

"Wow my mam must have been a really cool Seedrian!" she said

"She was, so do you understand why I'm here?"

"Ya I get it, but I'm not leaving until finished the competition"

"Fine, I guess you can complete the competition as long as you come with me after"

"Sure, no problem uhh Shadow was it?"

"Yea"

"Kay, so what about my sisters?"

"I don't know where they are, you are the first one I found"

She looked down at the floor, she was obviously upset. I decided to change the subject.

"So do you have a place to stay?" I said

"Yea, all competitors get their own room in a 5 star hotel. What about you?"

"Uhh" I knew I didn't. Usually I just found a spot in the forest to doze off.

"Then you can stay in the hotel room too" she said

"Is that ok?"

"Yea sure, I don't mind there are two bedrooms anyway"

"Thanks Marley"

After that we headed towards the hotel. It was called the Red Phoenix. We had our meal in the restaurant downstairs then went into our room. It had a flat screen TV, 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a sparkling kitchen and a large sofa.

"I'm gunna go have a bath kay?" said Marley

"Sure" I said and went to turn the TV on.

They were talking about the skating competition. One of the commentators was talking about Marley and said he thought she would win. Another disagreed and said that he thought a boy named K-lon and they showed some footage of him. He was good too. He looked like this. .com/gallery/?offset=48#/d489q22

It seemed as if he was the perfect rival for Marley.

"AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

A scream came from the bathroom.

Hey guys. So what do ya think? I just want to say the links to the pics that I have put in the story are not my designs and give full credit of their design to their designers. Anyway back to talking bout the story. What has happened? Why was there a scream? Is Marley ok? Well you will have to wait and see. Won't you? Please review this chapter.
