A/N: Do I really have to do this at the beginning? There's nothing to talk about!
Blyxil was walking past dirt roads with the plant girl close behind. He was still wearing his cloak, so you wouldn't be able to tell what he looked like. Just that he was mobian. The plant girl was green with blue eyes and 2 budding roses, one sprouting from either side of her head. "Where are we? Wheres my sister? Where are you taking me?"
Blyxil was feeling a little light headed, but he decided to answer the plant girls questions. "We are in a village called Enoma in the country of Mazuri. I don't know where your sister is, and I'm taking you to my friends. They'll take care of you while I do stuff. I can't take kids where I usually go, but my normal base of operations is usually safe."
The girl wasn't sure if she could trust this man, but she didn't have many choices. She didn't know what Mazuri was. The last thing she remembered before waking up in the man's arms was being pushed in an escape pod by her parents and her sister coming seconds later. She was unconscious soon after.
"Here we are." They walk into a hut slightly larger than the others in the village. They're soon greeted by two more cloaked figures. "The small one is Xayr, and the big one is Gibx. They're friendly, so I think you'll get along. Now I'm gonna go take a nap." The plant girl wasn't sure what a nap is, but soon after Blyxil said that, Gibx said "Good night."
"Night? But the sun is still out." Blyxil chuckled a little.
"Gibx, Xayr, teach her the customs of our planet." And he left.
Xayr took a look at the green child and said, "What's your name?"
The girl wasn't sure if she should tell him, but he seemed very gentle, and so did the cat. "My name is Cosmo. It's a pleasure to meet you Xayr and Gibx."
"Are you really an alien?" Gibx asked.
"I'm not sure what that word means. But I know that this is not my planet. How do you know how to speak Seedrian?"
"It appears the language of your people largely coincides with English. So you won't have to learn that language, but this planet has people who speak different languages, and Blyxil is the only one in this hut who knows how to speak Bunta. So the three of us will have to stay in this hut until we finally learn it." Xayr explained.
"So is Blyxil teaching you?" Cosmo asked.
"Yes, but I'm no good at it. And Gibx is even worse."
2 days later
"Hallo. Kan jy vir my sê waar die mark is?"
"Hello. Can… do you ever miss your mark?"
Blyxil glared at Xayr. While Blyxil was wearing his cloak again (does this guy ever change his clothes?) Xayr was wearing a red shirt and pants with a mask over his face. You could tell he was yellow, but that's it. "Gibx, how about you give it a shot."
Gibx wore green fishing pants, a light brown shirt, and a ski mask. He was purple. "Hello. Can you tell me where the nearest fish market is?"
"No. That's not i…" Blyxil spit out his juice in surprise. "Gibx. That's really close."
"Yaay!"
"Hello. Can you tell me where the market is. He added two words."
"Cosmo… how'd you know that?"
"On my planet, I was known to be a very fast learner."
Blyxil stared at her for a while. "That's fantastic!" A knock was heard at the door. "Great. Visitors." Blyxil walked out of the room and opened the door. He saw a bee holding a small tv. "What do you want?"
"My boss told me to come here with this. It's for communication." He showed Blyxil the screen turned it on. On screen was a green crocodile.
"Hello. I'm Vector the Crocodile. I'm the leader of the Chaotix detective agency."
"I know who you are. And I doubt you found that ring already"
"We know where it is, but we haven't retrieved it. I'm here to negociate."
"I'll listen, but I probably won't accept the terms."
"How about this. Return the girl to her sister, and we'll give you the rings coordinates and you can get it yourself."
Blyxil thought about it, then had an idea. "Do you know where I can find a green, tailed frog?"
Blyxil could see Vector's expression notably change. "What?"
"I said, could you help me find a green, tailed frog? As well as the dark ring?"
"What's the correlation?" A vein on Vectors forehead was showing.
"There is none. It's just that… a friend of mine is looking for another friend of his. He was a normal frog until he swallowed some strange liquid. He's been AWOL ever since."
"You want us to help you find a frog as well as the dark ring inside that mansion!?"
"What mansion?" Vector realised what he said and shut his mouth. "How about this. Me and my friends infiltrate that mansion with the help of some of your agents. The girl will be moved to a safe location where she'll be relatively close but still out of harms way. Once we find the ring, I'll give you the money and return the girl. Then I'll hire you for the job of finding the frog. Deal?"
"What about the girl."
"Didn't I already say?"
"No."
"I didn't hear you either." Charmy butt in.
"Oh… um… I'll return the girl when I pay you for finding the ring."
"Deal."
Charmy turned the TV off and was about to fly away, but Blyxil stopped him.
"What?"
"How did you find me?"
Charmy gave a smug grin. "I happen to be an amazing tracker. And our other teammates are especially skilled as well." Blyxil gave him a look to let Charmy know he understood.
"You guys are in the United Federation right?"
"Yeah."
"We'll be there in 2 days. Alright?"
"Sure." And Charmy flew off. Blyxil walked back in the hut to tell everyone the news.
"Xayr, Gibx. You'll be coming with me this time."
"What about Cosmo?" Gibx worried.
"She'll be close enough that we can keep an eye on her, but far enough that we know she's safe."
"Keep an eye on me?"
"Yeah." Blyxil answered. "I'll be blunt. You're here with us as a bargaining chip. You've warmed up to us, and we do care about you, but in the long run, we won't be staying together. You'll have to see your sister again soon right?"
"Yes. She must be worrying about me. But is a bargaining chip all I am to you guys?"
Blyxil paused a second. He wasn't sure how to answer that. He wasn't even sure what his answer is. "Let me tell the three of you something. I've… never mind. Get ready to leave." Blyxil left the room. Xayr looked at Cosmo.
"Don't worry. I'm sure he values you more than he let's on. He's letting us stay with him, but he hasn't called me and Gibx his friends either. But I'm sure he isn't using any of us."
"But if he isn't using us… why would he bring in a girl he doesn't even really know?"
This time Gibx gave an answer. "I'm sure he has his reasons. He's even helping me find my friend."
Blyxil was down the hall listening to them. "Yeah… right. I'm only repaying a debt. I can't care for them. I can't trust them." He had a flashback to when he was younger. He was having fun in his village. Then one day… it happened.
"He did it! I know he did!"
"He's a monster!"
"I always knew he couldn't be trusted!"
"Get him OUT OF HERE!"
Blyxil was just a boy. Yet no one thought he was innocent. "Humans. And even Mobians. No one can be trusted." And with that, he went to bed.
Sonic the Hedgehog characters are owned by Sega. I only own Blyxil. That being said... Who, I repeat, who... are Gibx and Xayr? I think I was being obvious, but those hints could only be picked up by people who have memorized their appearances.
