To be honest, it had been fairly uneventful since the young detective had seen all her new friends crying...it would have been about a month, counting their sleeps. The full blood hadn't let her spar with anyone after the incident with the robot and her survival instincts, he seemed worried that she'd hurt the fresh guardian or mechanic...what was worse, was that she couldn't disagree.
"Chloe?" The oldest girl turned from staring aimlessly out the first floor window upon hearing the robotic voice call her name, something which he had only begun to do in the last 'few days'.
"Yeah?" Chloe asked, looking him over for the hundredth time since their fight...she was making sure he was fine, which the yellow flier had assured of.
"It is Mach...he has an objective for you." K'aak stated, which peeked the girl's interest...the runner hadn't let her do anything since the spar, she'd assumed he was worried she'd hurt someone.
"What is it?" The hybrid asked.
"Mach will relay it to you himself." The robot said, leading her to him.
"Child of Chaos." Mach greeted coldly as soon as the one he'd called for had entered.
"Child of Sonic." Chloe responded, a response she had begun to make every time he called her that...he glared at her, as he normally did.
"I need you to infiltrate this building...you can do that, can't you?" The full blood asked, gesturing to the blueprints on the table in front of him. Looking at it with a well-trained eye, she noted everything in it. Turning the inhibitor rings on her visor; she pushed the black bit in like a button, a small clicking noise resounding.
"No problem. Has my outfit been fixed yet?" The hybrid questioned, the older male nodding.
"Hyb finished it earlier." He stated simply. "...She said she wanted you back in this one once you return." The runner added, suddenly not looking at her. The detective sighed, not at all surprised considering how much her yellow friend seemed to prefer this outfit over her usual one.
"Sure." She stated, leaving to get her outfit and get changed.
"Are you sure about this Chloe? It might be more dangerous than we think..." Sugar warned through the radio system in the detective's visor. She regretted making a communication device that connected to her inhibitor rings like the ones her teammates had back home...
"I'll be fine." Chloe said after a moment, not wanting to listen to the mechanic when she was like this...she reminded the older hybrid too much of the rabbit hybrid in her own timeline, and it made her homesick. "Stop worrying so much." The elder girl added.
"I have to worry Chloe." The mechanic disagreed.
"You are the Child of Chaos." The orange eyes girl heard the full blood say in the background. She growled lowly, bringing up the picture of the blueprints on her visor. She was in the air ducts, the easiest way to get to where she needed to be.
"Tell Mach; I don't care what I am to you, I'll get what you want and come out alive." She snarled into the visor before cutting contact, not needing the continuous distraction of her growing anger at the runner.
"It would have been more helpful if he'd told me what he actually wanted." Chloe grumbled unhappily, having gotten to the room without an issue. It was filled with random things, and she wasn't sure what she needed to grab. "...This is Chloe, come in Mach." She spoke into the hidden microphone on her visor, having opened communications again. There were several moments of static.
"...I read you, Child of Chaos. What's the situation?" Mach questioned, the hybrid secretly glad he'd answered.
"I've entered the room...what do you want me to get exactly?" She asked, followed by some moments of silence.
"...You mean you can't feel it?" The full blood responded, sounding a bit...concerned? "There should be a Chaos Emerald in there." It was time for the girl to be silent, her mind trying to take in the information.
"Why do you need it?" She asked without thinking.
"Hyb needs it." The boy said immediately. "To incorporate it into K'aak, to make him stronger." He added. For a few seconds the orange eyed girl's mind reeled, trying to understand...the moment it did, she became serious.
"There's no Chaos Emerald in this room." She stated instantly. The red eyed boy growled.
"...Fine, get b-"
"I'll go find it." Chloe cut in.
"What?!" The 'hero' demanded. "It's too dangerous! If we lose you we'll never get our world back!" He snarled.
"And if I don't get this Chaos Emerald, you'll be the only one strong enough to fight. Having equal Chaos Energy doesn't mean you have equal strength, you need all the help you can get." The detective pointed out harshly, cutting communication before he could disagree.
"Intruder alert! Intruder alert!" The building flashed red continuously as the hybrid ran at her top speed through it, trying to sense her prize.
"...There!" Chloe finally felt the Chaos Emerald, turning sharply and running down the hall.
"Halt!" A group of about 10 enemies stood before her at the door leading to her reward for all this, all of them looking like their true foe...but they were all fake, the girl could tell that much.
"No way!" The headache reached its limit and Chloe suddenly grew a menacing smirk. She ran towards the enemy as balls of her Chaos Energy appeared around her, forming what looked like small bolts of lightning. "Chaos Spear!" The girl yelled out in a voice much like the one she'd used the first time she'd used this attack in this timeline. Like before, there was no pause between the words; she didn't need to since the attack was already set up around her. The bolts flew towards the enemies, destroying them all.
"Intr...uder...al...er...t..." The detective picked up the talking head with her foot, bouncing it a few times like a soccer ball before kicking it full force at the locked door. The head smashed through it and exploded, making the hole big enough for her to fit though.
"Here you are." Now back to normal the orange eyed girl smiled, picking up the red Chaos Emerald. "Mach will be happy to see you." She stated with a smile.
"And I am quite happy to see you...Child of Chaos, was it?" She froze at the voice...that of their true foe...
Out of the frying pan, into the oven much? Let's hope Chloe can find a way out of this; if she can't than not only will she never go back home, Mach and his friends will be stuck in this messed up time-space rift world forever. See you all soon.
