Hey! What's up? Guess who's dead, sucker! Come on, float over here, come see this!

Dane Cook.

Sorry.

So... how's it been going??

Good? Good.

Kanda: You're lame.

AGH! How'd you get out of my closet???!?!?!?

Kanda: *rolls eyes* It's not rocket science to figure out how to open a closet door from the inside. Besides, with all those bodies in there you look like some kind of pedopael or something.

I AM NOT A PEDO!!! NOR A PIMP!

(And I don' know how those girls got in my cloest... er, guys...)

Kanda: *rolls eyes again*


Alright. Sit down. Let's go through this again.

Tyler was sitting next to his brother's head with his arms crossed. Others were asking questions about this, but he was silent.

Frankly, he wasn't really paying any attention. He was thinking about what Topaz had said about Rosemary and Adameus.

'He said he knew Rosemary... my mother.' Tyler thought. 'And Tails' mother. And that Adameus, our father, died years before she did.'

He looked down.

'That's impossible. I saw them both die.' He thought. It was a painful memory.

All of a sudden, rustling came from the bushes. Two creatures came out of the bush and ran for the bush. The creatures were foxes, one was a female fox, carrying an baby fox, no more than a year old, in her arms, and another was a male fox, holding the hands of the female fox and… a little kid fox. The kid was an orange fox with four bangs and orange shoes.

Suddenly, the trees behind them were knocked over, as robots came through chasing the animals. A small hovercraft came following after. "Don't let them get away!"

Eggman raised his finger and pointed to the foxes. "Seize them!" The robots charged, and the robots grabbed the family. they were already in cages. Eggman had captured them and he ordered his robots to take them away. Three sad foxes being taken away. A soft baby's cry wasn't heard from the bushes. It was Tails, less than a year old. And he was still wrapped up in a blanket, and he was crying softly.

The small fox had fallen asleep, sucking on his thumb.

Indoors, surrounded by a bunch of machinery.

Tyler, at four years old, his mom and his dad being led in by three robots, with Eggman leading them in. The pointed to two tubes on the other side of the room, and the robots grabbed his mom and dad and carried them over to the tubes. The tubes opened as the robots tossed them in, the tubes sealing up as they landed. The other robot was still holding on to the kid-Tyler, who was looking around confused on what was going on.

"Mommy, when are we leaving? This place scares me."

Eggman sat down to the controls, and started to enter commands into the computer. "If you think this place is scary, just wait until you see what happens to your parents!" The doctor's voice sent a chill down the kid's spine. Eggman pushed the final button, as shock waves were sent through the tubes, causing his mom and dad to shriek in pain. The little kid got real scared.

"Mommy, Daddy, what's happening?"

Tyler's mom opened her eyes and looked over to her child. "You have to get out of here!"

"But Mommy-"

"Just do it, son!" yelled his dad. He again screamed in pain as the shock waves enter his body. His dad took one last look at his son. "Take care of your brother, Co- AAAHHHH!"

He ran.

The screams of his parents were as real now as they were then.

The picture of his parents being robotised was still trapped in his head, as he remembered watching in horror as a kid.

He felt like tears.

"Tyler?"

Tyler was snapped back to reality. "What?"

"You look like you're about to cry, dude." Jerred stated.

"What? I'm not crying, you fag." Tyler replied, pasting a grin on his face.

Jerred chuckled. "Okay."

"Okay, as I was saying..." Fynn continued. "Actually, I think I covered it all."

They all nodded except for Sonic.

"There is on more thing." He stated. "You never told us where you were from."

Fynn bit her bottom lip.

Everybody was looking at her, waiting for an answer.

She closed her eyes and exhaled. She opened them and replied:

"Odessa, Topaz and I are orphans. We are like nomads, one would say. We never really stay in one place."

Sonic looked skeptical. "You were talking about war earlier. We never heard of any war anywhere."

Fynn looked Sonic right in the eye and replied coldly "Don't make me talk about the war."

Just the way she said it made Sonic shrink back a bit.

"Sonic..." Tyler mumbled. "You are so fu- er, flipping skeptical."

"Way to watch your swearing, Tye."
"Shut up, Muctarr."

Sonic mumbled something under his breath and said to Tyler:

"I'm allowed to be skeptical. We almost lost Lee last year because you all are so trusting!"

Tyler was about to say something back when Fynn interrupted.

"You almost lost her? How?"

They all looked to Fynn.

"I think Sonic should explain, because he brought it up." Tyler said.

"Fine! I will!" Sonic replied, crossing his arms. "Well, it was because that everybody trusted some stranger who was working with the enemy. Happy?"

"He's not an enemy." Lee said coldly to Sonic. "AND in case you forgot, he ended up helping us."

Sonic hmphed. "Still, you almost died."

Fynn smiled. "What is the name of this person?"


Still running with Shadow following behind, Odessa felt the signal getting closer.

Suddenly her eyes burst open as in shock, and she tripped over a branch.

"What? What's- agh, I'm retarded." Shadow began to ask, but remember she couldn't hear him.

Odessa stood up and replied in a soft voice, "I lost the connection."

Shadow opened his mouth to ask what that meant, but stopped.

"Won't do me any good..." He mumbled.

Odessa continued. "I could feel her energy like there was some kind of spirit in my head... now all of a sudden it's gone."

'Can she read minds?' Shadow wondered.

"I bet you're thinking that I'm reading your mind right now..." Odessa chuckled. "Naw, it's just answers to questions I thought you had."

She sraightened up and looked around. She was really impaired without her hearing.

Shadow heard a twig snap. He snapped his head in that direction and called "Who is it? Show yourself!"

"Chill, Shadow. Chill." A purple chameleon stepped out from around a tree.

"Who's this?" Odessa asked.

Shadow waved her off.

"Espio!" Shadow called. "Have you seen Amy?"

"No." He replied. "But I know someone who might have."

"Who would this person be?"

Espio smiled. "Her name is Ember."

Odessa looked from Shadow, to Epsio, then back again.

"WHAT'S GOING ON????" She cried. And since she couldn't hear her own tone it was louder than intended.

Espio looked shocked. "Who's this?"

"Her name is Odessa, I believe." Shadow replied. "She's lost her hearing so she's getting frustrated."

"Ah." Espio crossed his arms. "Then she'll have to come with us, then." He tipped his head to the side. "She's awful short. How old is she?"

Shadow shrugged. "Never told me."

"Whatever. Let's just get going."

Without another word, Shadow grabbed Odessa under the arms and carried her, since they would be running.

"What the hell-"

And they took off.


"Thank you so much." A pink

hedgehog said to a vibrant orange chameleon.

"It's no problem." She replied. "You needed help, so I helped."

Amy bowed her head slightly to drink her tea. "I don't know why. I was just feeling light headed last night."

The girl chuckled. "Well, I think I might know why."

The chameleon was vibrant orange, almost red for her entire body. She had a vest on with a V-cut cleavage, the right side was black and the left was blueish with vertical stripes. She had a flowing scarf around her neck that flipped out to the back, and an over sized belt around her waist. The belt had a pouch on the back and instead of sneakers she had on sandals that tied up with twine.

And around each eye were five triangles.

Her colour changed into a pale blue as she continued:

"I know medicine, and the symptoms you've told me sound very familiar." She said. She sat down in front of Amy and grabbed her free hand.

"Amy... I don't know if for you this is good versus bad news but... You're pregnant."

Amy looked shocked but then her face softened into tears. "Really? That's great!"

Amy sat her tea down and hugged her. "Thank you, Ember."

Ember hugged her back and smiled. "I'm glad you're not upset."

"Why would I be upset?" Amy asked.

Ember pulled away from Amy and looked her in the eyes. "Because you're only 17, Ames. The way you carry yourself makes you appear much older but it doesn't change the fact that you'll be a teenage mother."

"Well, you obviously haven't met our daughter, have you?"

They both looked to see who was there. Ember turned into a pale red.

"Espio!" She called.

"Nyeh." He replied, stepping into the room. "What's the big deal? I found him, didn't I?"

"Amy? You're okay!" Odessa exclaimed, getting out of Shadow's grip. She dropped to her knees in front of Amy and hugged her.

"Odessa?"

"You know her?"

Amy nodded. "Yes, I do."

"By the way..." Espio mumbled to Amy, "She's deaf right now."

"Why?"

"I don't know!"

Odessa pulled back from Amy and sat on her heels. She bowed her head to Amy and said "I'm glad you're okay. I've been looking for you... With his help." She motioned back to Shadow.

Her head jolted up and Odessa locked eyes with Amy.

"Ah. No wonder I couldn't feel your energy anymore. It changed." Odessa added, smiling.

Shadow rolled his eyes and approached Amy as well. He kneeled down and asked,

"What was it you two were discussing before? Parenting?"

Amy's face turned red. "Well, I take it you heard what she said before."

Ember, who was standing next to Espio whispered, "Is he her boyfriend, or something?"

Espio chuckled. "More than a boyfriend, less than a husband, I think."

Ember shrugged and her colour returned to the vibrant orange. "Whatever."

Odessa, even though she couldn't hear them, shuffled to the side a bit.

Amy bit her lip and leaned forwards and whispered something into his ear.

Shadow looked so shocked. He replied, "That's great. Really."

Amy smiled and hugged him. "I'm glad you think so!"

He really was happy- he just wasn't sure how to express the feeling. And it didn't make genetical sense. He was an android, he shouldn't be able to do something like that.

Odessa still looked confused.

"Who's the kid?" Ember asked.

"I don't know." Espio replied. "She was with Shadow when I found him."

"Hmm."

Sudden;y the door burst open and Knuckles came in.

"JULIE-" He began but stopped.

"Why... are you all in here??" Knuckles asked. "In Julie-su's room?"

They were in the Knothole/Chaotix base. They were in Julie-su's room.

They all looked to him.

"Who's this?" Odessa asked.

Again, Shadow waved her off.

Knuckles turned his head to look at Odessa then jumped.

"You have that some kind of energy!" He exclaimed.

She tipped her head to the side.

"She's deaf."

"What?"

"Yeah."

"Now, what kind of energy do you mean?"

"Well..." Knuckles began, pulling his gaze away from Odessa, who was now pouting, "Some stranger approached the Master Emerald today. He had a strange gem with him that radiated something similar to chaos energy."

Shadow smacked himself in the face. "Why didn't I see that-"

"It's... odd."


"His name is Farn." Lee replied. "Farn Emerald."

Fynn's smile turned into a grin. "You defend him so strongly. What is he to you?"

Lee paused for a moment. "I'm his girlfriend."

"Ah." Fynn replied.

"And... He's my keeper." Lee added.


Okay! This one was long. Now...

Kanda: Will you get OFF ME?

*looks to him* Fuck no. I'm sitting on you're back with your arm twisted behind you to shut you up, Yuu.

Kanda: *grumbles* Does it really matter?

Does to me.

*Allen walks in* Ah... *Looks at vcg and Kanda*

Allen: Shall I return another time?

Screw you, Allen. I'm just sitting on his back with his arm twisted behind him to shut him up.

Kanda: You said that.

Shut up

Allen: *walks up and stands beside us* : Wow Kanda, I think the fangirls finally succeeded.

What? Did you just call me a fangirl, TOO?

Allen: Shit.

Also that little segment in the beginning about Tyler's and Tails' parents, is actually from C. Tyler Prower's story Brothers United. I'm sorry if some people have a problem with that, but I didn't think I could capture the story properly.

SORRY TYLER!

I will say again:

I OWN NOTHING.
