Disclaimer- I do not own the Totally Spies or Martin Mystery characters, nor do I own the episode Totally Mystery Much, I do however own Ruby.
Please enjoy the story!
P.S. seeing as this is a Martin Mystery version of Totally Mystery Much with the addition of my own character, there is most likely going to be added scenes and dialect that are not in Totally Mystery Much.
Chateau Saint Shee-Shee- 9:13 am.
Ruby Catulinus tapped her foot impatiently and gave a deep sigh, glancing at her watch for the fifth time since she had arrived at the Chateau Saint Shee-Shee in Switzerland. The Center had gotten a report about people going missing in the area along with a series of recent attacks on the resort, so M.O.M. had sent her to meet Martin to investigate, but Martin was running late. She was about to give up waiting for him and start the investigation on her own when a blue portal opened up three feet to her right, and out jumped Martin, wearing his usual winter weather wear.
"Bout time you got here Boss, I nearly froze my tail off waiting for you!" Ruby huffed, crossing her arms in annoyance.
"Sorry RC but I got here as fast as the Center summoned me … hey, where are the others?" Martin asked when he noticed that Ruby was the only other Center agent there.
Ruby counted off on her fingers, "Um, let's see, Diana is busy with her extra credit assignment in History, Java's gone on that cooking trip, and Sapphire is still in quarantine from those super fleas from last week's mission."
Martin sighed, "Well then I guess it's just you and me today, better turn on your hologram before someone sees you, we don't want to freak people out."
"Um, yeah, funny thing about that Boss." Ruby chuckled nervously, "You see, my hologram seems to be on the fritz today, it changes like normal but my ears and tail are still visible."
Martin blinked, "What? Then why did M.O.M. let you come on this mission? She should know this place is packed with people!"
"M.O.M. said I'd be fine if I covered my ears with my hood, plus we're mostly just investigating the mountain, so we shouldn't meet that many people." Ruby explained.
"Fine then, let's get going. M.O.M. said that skiers have gone missing near the ski slopes, so I'm guessing our best bet would be to start searching for clues on and around the trails." Martin stated as he pointed to the direction of ski slopes. Martin activated his U-watch and selected the Alpha goggles as the two investigated the trails, trying to find some kind of clue that would help them find out what was going on.
Ruby continuously sniffed the air, "Hmmm, I'm getting all kinds of scents, rabbit, human, elk … and something else too. Kind of smells like … maybe a gorilla? Or it could be a muskrat, no, it's more like a sweaty human wearing a monkey fur coat." Martin turned to give her a 'make-up-your-mind' look when something out of the corner of his eye caught his attention. He walked over to a large, foot-like trail leading away from the Chateau Saint Shee-Shee.
He glanced over his shoulder and yelled at Ruby, "Hey, come check out this weird track. It looks like it's heading further into the mountain, and look, it's leading away from the gondola!" Ruby kneeled beside Martin and stared at the track, it was far bigger than any human print she had ever seen, it didn't smell like any animal she knew either.
"Hey Boss, maybe we should-." Ruby began to suggest to follow the tracks, but some new scents and sounds caught her attention instead, "Boss, someone's coming this way!"
"The Chateau Saint Shee-Shee is the other way, and there isn't anything this far up the mountain. Quick, we'll hide in that tree and wait for it to pass, maybe there's more than one of whatever it is that made these footprints!" Martin suggested, and the two jumped up into a nearby pine tree, climbing to the top most branches.
"Maybe these are bear tracks?" One of the voices suggested, drawing closer to the two Center agents. Martin activated his U-watch and selected the Turbo Bungee, preparing to catch whoever, or whatever, was coming their way.
Another voice scoffed, "Hello, like, bears hibernate this time of year." Martin aimed at the approaching figures, but suddenly the branch he and Ruby were standing on gave way. The two began to fall with a scream and a yelp, as they fell Martin managed to fire the Turbo Bungee, but was surprised when a net trapped him and Ruby. All at once the two Center agents were hanging upside down in the tree face to face with three teenage girls in different colored jumpsuits. the red haired girl wore a green jumpsuit and held the rope holding the net, the blond wore a red one and the black haired girl wore a yellow one.
Ruby growled, "Ok, that could have gone better." Martin elbowed her in the back as the two struggled in the net.
"Let us out of this thing!" Martin demanded to the three girls.
"You first!" The red haired girl shot back just as fierce.
Martin growled, "We're on a very important mission!"
The blond haired girl scowled at the two, "The bunny slopes are on the other side! So hop on over and stop interfering in OUR mission!" Martin laughed heartily and the thrashing started anew on both sides.
"Ok, someone has to give or we'll all become icicles here!" The yellow wearing girl exclaimed.
"I agree with her, I was not made to bend this way!" Ruby barked unhappily.
Martin attempted to bargain with the girls, "I'll release you only if you promise to do the same with us."
"Fine! But no funny stuff." The green wearing girl agreed, and the two released their ropes. The three girls and Ruby managed to right themselves and land on their feet, crouching into attack positions. Martin, however, fell head first into the ground, but quickly jumped into an attack position of his own, that is until he got a good look at the blond girl.
Hearts filled his eyes and he exclaimed, "Wow! On second thought, you can snare me anytime!"
Ruby sighed and smacked her forehead, "Of course Boss, just go right ahead and flirt with the pretty lady who just TRAPPED US IN A NET!" Martin took no heed of his companion, instead he pulled a mirror from his pocket and began to straighten his appearance.
"Unbelieveable, the poshest resort in all of Switzerland, and I get the one and only geek and his sidekick here!" The blond girl scoffed.
"Oh, you did NOT just call ME a sidekick! Ruby Catulinus is no one's sidekick!" Ruby growled insulted, too angry to notice that her hood had fallen down. Her ears, which were now exposed, pressed against her head and her tail stiffened and bristled, the only one to take notice of this however was the black haired girl.
Martin began to defend himself as well, "And I'm not a geek! I'm Martin Mystery, paranormal investigator extraordinaire!"
The red wearing girl huffed, "I guess I stand corrected, come on girls."
"Whoa, wait just a minute there! Just who are you three and who are you working for?" Ruby demanded.
"We're spies working for the World Organization Of Human Protection, I'm Sam and they're Alex and Clover." The red headed spy answered stiffly, "What about you two? Who are you working for? You are clearly not W.O.O.H.P. agents."
Martin raised an eyebrow, "W.O.O.H.P.? Boring! We're from the Center, we handle all the cool paranormal cases in the world!"
Sam scoffed, "Well, I doubt this case has anything to do with the paranormal, SINCE THERE'S NO SUCH THING!"
"Oh yeah? Then how do you explain Ruby here huh? Only a werewolf like her can have her hair color, not to mention the ears and tail!" Martin argued. Ruby smiled brightly, showing off her fangs and wagging her tail.
Sam rolled her eyes, "Oh please, that has special effects makeup written all over it!" Ruby's face morphed into a scowl and she growled.
"You know, you remind me of my sister Diana." Martin chuckled, "She's a really lame buzz kill too." Ruby cringed as, with an annoyed growl, Sam slammed Martin face first into the snow.
"Yikes, got a temper like Di too." She grumbled under her breath, holding up her hands in defense when Sam shot her an annoyed glare.
Suddenly Alex called over to the group, "Hey look at this!" Sam turned to look at her friend while Martin unburied his head, Ruby trotted over to the yellow spy to investigate her findings. Where she stood the tracks ended abruptly.
Martin smiled triumphantly, "Aha! Proof of the paranormal! How else can you explain footprints just ending?" Ruby looked around the area and found another set of tracks, this one belonging to something she definitely recognized.
"Um, Boss?" Ruby called out, pointing to the ground.
"That's how, the culprit hopped on a snowmobile." Clover stated. Sam burst out laughing and Martin pouted, Clover rolled her eyes and both Alex and Ruby gave sympathetic smiles.
Martin grumbled, "Well, the tracks lead off the ski trail, you'd better lead for now Ruby, we don't want to get lost."
Clover crossed her arms, "How is she going to keep us from losing the trail?" A smile made it's way onto Martin's face, turning into a smirk as he snapped his fingers. With a bark of understanding Ruby shifted into her wolf form, keeping her head to the ground as she followed the trail. Martin stuck his tongue out at Sam and grind triumphantly.
"Oh so what, we've seen genetic mutations before, it's science not the paranormal!" Sam argued as she stomped past a still grinning Martin. Ruby lifted her head and rolled her eyes, grumbling about how strange humans were as she resumed her tracking.
That's it for chapter one! Hope you like it so far, please R&R! On a side note, I've been watching Totally Spies episodes, and you'd think Sam would be a little more convinced that the paranormal already exists by the time they meet Martin, especially after season 1, episode 14!
