"I don't know Kylo, It's just not like him" Espio said, He was sitting on a couch in Kylo's apartment, He'd come to see the fox, feeling uneasy about life in the Chaotix, hoping his friend could Comfort him. Kylo was rather preoccupied reading a book called: The History of Earth. But she was paying attention.
"What's he been doing?" She asked, turning the page in her book. Espio shifted, burying his head in his hands
"Well for starters, he's stopped eating as much. He won't let anyone come into his office nowadays, and when Stacey came to visit us again, he sent her away!" He exclaimed, raising his head and leaning backwards. Kylo's apartment was small and cozy; it had a bathroom, a bedroom, a spare room, a small kitchen and a living room. Both figures were seated in the living room, Kylo sitting in a one-person sofa, and Espio sitting on the edge of a three-seater couch, fearing for his boss.
"Wait…" She said, folding the corner of the page she was on and setting the book on the coffee table, with a sigh she leaned back on her chair "Tell me again, every detail of what's going on." She said her eyes on the ceiling. Espio sighed but nodded
"Vector's been acting strange lately, ever since…You know who…died…He's been locking himself in his office, He won't come out for breakfast, but he does come out for lunch. Then he hides himself in his office until the next day"
"He sleeps in there?"
"I presume so. Anyway, when this odd behavior continued, I sent Charmy to go talk to him. The little bee came back saying 'Vector said to buzz off, the nerve!' And he flew out of the building. A few days later, Stacey came to visit and see how everyone was. When she came in, she hung around and stayed for dinner, but when Vector didn't join us she went to see if everything was alright. He kicked her out of the Chaotix, even though she wasn't even a member!" The Chameleon continued in distress
"Why didn't you go talk to him?"
"I'm getting there. After two more days of 'Solitary Confinement' I went to talk to him about being so solitary."
"Did he let you in?"
There was a pause. "Yes."
"And sooo…."
"Well, his office was still the same, but he was never really listening to me when I told him I thought he was sick or something. He was scribbling away at some papers. I took one to read"
"What did it say?"
"Nothing, it had all sorts of mathematical designs on it, I couldn't read it, I was surprised Vector could! Something's seriously wrong with Vector. Even if I died I don't think he'd be so down about it."
"Maybe there's something else about Sonic's death he's trying to figure out." Kylo pointed out
"Maybe, but he'd normally talk all about it while stuffing himself with food!" Espio said, shaking his head.
Ding dong.
The doorbell rang. Kylo sighed and rose to her feet
Ding dong ding dong!
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Kylo yelled down the hallway, she stretched and headed down the hallway to the door. Espio was about to follow until he was three pictures arranged nicely on a dresser. The first one was what looked to be a young Niomie and an Orange fox playing in the snow, the fox was buried under a snowdrift, her tail poking out, and Niomie was laughing. The second picture was of Niomie and two other foxes around a table with a birthday cake in the middle. The same little fox from the first picture was there, and an older male fox was the second fox. The littler fox was blowing out the candles on her birthday cake. The third picture was of the previous two foxes, the older fox was holding up two fingers to the camera and pushing the littler one out of the picture, but the littler fox was pushing back and holding a 'thumbs up.' Both foxes were laughing.
"Must be Kylo's family. Though I don't see her…" He trailed off as Kylo came down the hallway again, with a smaller Black & Red fox behind her
"Apparently Vector's not the only one going insane." She said as she motioned for the fox to sit down. The Black and red fox ignored her and stood.
"It's Tails!" She blurted suddenly "He's discovered something and hasn't come down from the attic in three days!" She exclaimed, Espio stood up and gently guided the overly-worried fox to the couch to sit down
"Now," He said, "Tell us what happened."
"What's up Tails?" Blaze had said as she pushed her way out the door holding a metal tray with hot chocolate on it. Tails was sitting outside his workshop, lying down on the little hill and gazing at the stars. Blaze sat beside the two-tailed fox and handed him the mug of Hot-chocolate. Smiling as the fox to a sip and smiled
"Mmmm" He said. Blaze giggled
"What'cha doing out here Tails?" Blaze asked, gazing up at the stars, visible clearly, considering they were about a Mile away from the city. Tails lowered his head and sighed.
"I'm trying to find out which star Sonic is. My mommy told me when I was little that everybody who dies becomes another star in the sky." He explained, lying back down to view the sky again. Blaze looked up
"It would probably be the brightest and fastest falling star ever." She said to comfort the fox. A bright yellow blur shot across the sky. "Like that one!" She exclaimed pointing to the trail of light the star had left behind. Tails instantly pushed himself to his feet, knocking over the hot chocolate
"That's to fast for a star! That's Sonic!" He exclaimed happily, Blaze frowned
"Sonic is…Dead Tails, besides, Sonic is blue, not yellow and he can't fly." She explained softly, "It's just a shooting star" Tails's ears drooped
"I guess you're right…" Suddenly his eyes widened with fear "Oh no!" He exclaimed, and rushed inside. Blaze followed only to find out he'd locked himself in his attic, where his Telescope was.
"And he hasn't come out since!" Blaze finished, sounding worried. Espio sighed and rose to his feet
"We might as well go talk to him." The chameleon said, "They might've discovered the same thing, I just pray Tails is more open about it." Then without another word, the Chameleon turned and raced out of the window, instead of using the door like a normal Mobian. Glass littered the floor as the chameleon jumped out of the building and tore out of sight. Kylo instantly raced to her broken window
"Hey! Dam you! You're paying to replace this window!" She yelled, cursing and rushing to the door with Blaze in tow. Suddenly a loud explosion sounded from near the heart of the city. "Ooooookay, looks like our plans changed." Kylo muttered as Blaze rushed outside and turned towards the city center, though many buildings blocked the pairs' view, a large cloud of smoke could be seen above the skyscrapers.
"It's either that Chameleon owes more people for replacement money or that's someone else." Blaze stated as Kylo rolled her eyes. Another explosion sounded from the city center. Having much experience with fire, Blaze knew what it was before her blue likeness,
Bombs
