Episode 7: Odd one out.
A cloaked figure walks through a red street. The town looks like a dump, literally everything is dirtt, the people sport vacant expressions on their faces, and the sky is red. She walks into a house. A kid opens the door. "Please tell me you weren't kidding when you told me you were an alien," He asks "I wasn't." The female answers. They walk inside to his room. There the figure uncloaks, revealing a plant like girl with leaves and buds as hair, a white dress, and an all around petite figure (makes sense given her age). Dib is in awe, and says, "No way... Who are..." *bum bum bum* Someone is knocking at the door. "Dib, who's there?" Said a frankly pessimistic sounding female voice. "A plant based lifeform! Her name is... What's your name?" Dib asks the alien. "Cosmo," she says. Dib then exclaims, "Cosmo! And she's from space Gaz!" Gas replies, "*sigh* Typical," and footsteps are heard, indicating that she is leaving. "So, about the call..." Cosmo says after a while. Dib answers her with, "We have detected an alien life form in this city. We think whoever it is might have something to do with you." Cosmo thinks about it, and says, "Logical conclusion, I guess." Dib pulls out a weird looking device. "This is an alien tracker," he says, "Made it myself!" "Does it work?" Asks Cosmo. "I'm about to find out!" Dib replies, which is worrisome. The device pings, showing a dot on the screen. Cosmo puts her cloak back on, and they walk out of the door. "Dad," Dib yells before he leaves, "I'm taking a walk!" "Be sure to say hello to me in reality!" A professor like voice says from a monitor.
Cosmo and Dib walk inside an old abandoned power plant. Everything is quiet except for the pinging. It's also dark, so the two stay close as they look for the alien. The pinging gets faster as they approach a light. They stop just before encountering g the alien, take a deep breath, and come face to face with... Nothing. Dib looks at the thing producing the light and says, "Bad news... I didn't make a working Alien Tracker," "What's the good news?" Cosmo asks him. "I made a working Chose Energy Tracker!" Dib picks up the glowing cylinder, "This is a Chaos Drive!" "No way! Those things can power cities!" Cosmo replies in awe. "Sure someone else made a working portable one before me, but I did mine without even trying!" Dib says, proud of himself as he raises his hand... Only to find it empty. Dob looks at his hands, then looks Cosmo in the eye. "Congratulations," a quiet, almost monotone voice echoes throughout the power plant, "But I am afraid I have to take this with me. I can not allow the Knothole Freedom Fighters access to the Chaos Emeralds." Footsteps are heard, slowly getting quieter. Cosmo tells Dib, "That voice... I know that voice!" Dib replies, "That must be the alien Agent Darkbooty's computer detected!" "Know I mean I think I... No, it can't be," Cosmo says to Dib, "Let's find her before she leaves! Maybe even get back the tracker!" Cosmo and Dib run out of the building.
One Hour Later
Dib and Cosmo walk into an abandoned "Bloaty's" building. They decide to sit down and talk about things. "So", Dib says, "When do you think we'll find her?" Just then, an orb falls down from the ceiling. A hologram appears from the device, showing a blue robot, "Hello." She says. Cosmo simply shakes her head. "I know what you're looking for," the robot says, "That's not why I'm here. I'm here to talk to you Cosmo." She points at her. "Meet me at the docks in two hours. Then I will reveal all that you want to know." The hologram disappears. Dib looks at Cosmo and asks, "Do you know her?" Cosmo replies, "I want to say no, then again, I think I might." They decide to take a walk to the docks and talk about something in particular... "What's your story, Cosmo?" "Well..." Cosmo starts to tell her story.
"My kind are, for the most part, peaceful." Various silhouettes of Cosmo's people are shown. "We were sending out ships to find new worlds to settle, in case of a another attack from... Them." A ship is flying towards a planet. "I was on a ship with my older sister when it happened." A blue haired girl with a flower on her head is walking down a hallway when the ship shakes. "Our enemies, the Metarex, decided to attack." Robots are scurrying around abducting people, as Cosmo and her older sister run for the escape pods. A yellow armored robot chases them and almost gets Cosmo, but her sister pushes her into an escape pod. "Go!" She yells, causing Cosmo to push a button, jettisoning the pod as she cries out in worry, "Sis!" "Then I landed on this planet..."
That is a tale for another time
"Whoa..." Dib says in awe, "Did you ever find out what happened to your sister?" Cosmo sighs, and answers with, "No, and after what I've just seen, I hope today isn't the day I find out." Dib and Cosmo have made it to the docks. They find the robot waiting for them. "I am Blue Sapling," she says, "and I am here to answer your questions!" Cosmo and Dib look a bit surprised. "Can we have the tracker back?" Dib asks first. Blue Sapling replies, "No. I can not and will not help an enemy." Cosmo then asks, "Are you with the Metarex or the SSS?" "Both. I am a Metrarex trooper on loan to Eggman," is Blue Sapling's response. "How many aliens are out there?" Dib asks. Blue Saplings tells him, "Countless. You are but a speck in the galaxy." Dib raises his fist in triumph. "*gulp* So, Blue Sapling," Cosmo says what she has been wanting to ask since she first heard Blue's voice, "Do I know you?" "Yes you do." Blue Sapling proceeds to take off her helmet revealing that she is Cosmo's older sister. "After Yellow Zelkova found me he proceeded to do a special 'surgery' on me to better integrate myself into the Metarex. I lost my emotions and dedicated myself to serving Dark Oak, who I was told not to talk for for reasons beyond my concern." Cosmo, horrified, tells her, "They brainwashed you! They took away everything you used to be!" "They cured me," Blue Sapling responds, "They made me the perfect soldier." "No," Cosmo yells, "I want my big sister back!" Cosmo generates vines from her hands, ties up her older sister, and throws her into the distance. Cosmo collapses, panting heavily. Dib tries to comfort her. "Don't worry about it. If it makes you feel any better, she dropped the tracker! You can have it if you want." Cosmo looks at him, and just nods her head.
"Status report: I have collected the object that you seek. I decided to answer some questions for my sister, until she got upset. Returning to base. Blue Sapling out."
