Chapter 17 : Totally Chaotix
Chaotix Detective Agency – Turquoise Field
In a place known as Turquoise Field, a small part of Carnival Island, stands a lone building. A two-story, brown building with a weirdly bent roof. This building was the office and home of the "Chaotix Detective Agency."
This agency consisted of three members. Vector the Crocodile, a large crocodile, with a gold necklace around his neck and a pair of earphones on his head, was the leader and the brains of the agency. He was a kindhearted person who would solve any crime, even if it didn't pay.
Espio the Chameleon, a purple chameleon with a curly tail, and a yellow horn in the middle of his head, was the speed and spy of the agency. Espio practiced for many years in Ninja techniques to help with his work. He always wore his black, studded wrist bands and legs bands near his gloves and shoes. His best technique is the ability to turn invisible to hide from enemies and climb on walls without being detected.
Charmy Bee, a young, energetic bee with a pilots helmet on his head and orange vest on his torso, was the flight of the agency. Charmy wasn't exactly the most helpful of the team, but was always there when you needed him, that's why Vector never fired him, even if Espio tries to kill him on a daily basis. Charmy's stinger on his bottom was his best weapon. He can break through almost anything will just one sting.
Team Chaotix had once been tricked by Dr. Eggman into doing a fake detective job. They then uncovered his secret and ruined his plan. Team Chaotix also once was assisted by Knuckles and Mighty The Armadillo to save Carnival Island from Dr. Eggman and Metal Sonic.
Vector sits behind his desk, "Oh man, we've got absolutely no work!"
"Well Vector, we'll get work soon," Charmy's childlike voice said.
"I don't think so Charmy," Vector said in his Boston-like accent.
"No, we will."
"Pheh."
In the other room, Espio sat alone, meditating.
"Spirits unite," The deep voice of Espio whispered in his trance.
Espio sat there for many minutes in a trance. He meditates to feel the atmosphere. He can also sense when something is wrong just by feeling a disturbance.
A small rumble was heard and Espio quickly awoke from his trance, "A disturbance!"
He stood up and ran out the door to see what the disturbance was. From a distance, he caught sight of Zero. He knew that he was one of Eggman's robots.
"He must be headed for the Super Emeralds," Espio said, "I must warn Mighty and Ray." He ran at top speed down the hill headed towards Faith Island to warn the people guarding the emeralds.
"I wonder what Espio's doing," Charmy said boredly. He walked into the room where Espio was and saw that he was gone, and the door was wide open.
"Where could he have gone?" He flew outside and went high into the air to see if he saw Espio. He saw him running up the side of a hill.
"He must be headed for Faith Island. I'm gonna help him. It's better than sitting around here." He flew off after Espio.
As he left, Shadow, Zero and Nack passed by the building. They didn't noticed what the building was and they didn't care.
"Scanners indicate, Faith Island is near," Zero said.
"Hmpt, that means I can get this over with," Shadow shouted.
"Blah, personally, I dun hav' a problem wit lookin' for these emeralds," Nack laughed, "It's kinda fun."
"Whatever," Shadow said running ahead. Nack followed behind. Zero stopped in front of the building to take the Eggman emblem that Dr. Eggman placed on him, off. He threw it in the lawn of the building and floated off to catch the others.
Back in the building, Vector sits alone, humming to the beat of the song in his headphones.
"I wonder where the others are? Pizza will be here soon," Vector said turning off the head phones. He got up and walked into the other room.
"WHAT! They're gone," Vector shouted walking outside. He saw the Eggman emblem and picked it up.
"I bet Eggman took em," Vector said, "THAT SLIME BALL!" He ran off in the opposite direction of where Espio and Charmy went, not knowing that it wasn't Eggman at all.
