The Team Chaotix detective Agency "The finest detectives money can buy" if you believe Vector, though they weren't really all that Successful they barely managed to pay the rent and feed themselves and really they only had one consistent customer speaking of whom.

Ring Ring "Charmy Answer the phone" Vector complained not really wanting to get up if he could avoid it. Ring Ring "Espio answer the phone!" Charmy deflected the request to Espio who begrudgingly got up and answered it

"Oh, Hello Miss Vanilla" Espio answered, catching vector's attention from across the room who scrambled to his feet snatching the phone from Espio. "Hey Vanilla, What can we do for you?"

Vanilla explained how a strange robot had attempted to steal Cheese from Cream and Chao around the Town had been going missing Vector wrote everything down before bidding Vanilla goodbye and hanging up "Alright Guys we've gotta job to do, we need to investigate the Chao disappearances" Just as they were about to leave they heard a crash outside. When they went to investigate they came across a small Ladybug she seemed didn't seem to have any physical injuries but she did seem very tired.

The trio decided to take her inside for now, at least until she woke up "What about the case Vector?" Charmy asked as Vector lay the girl down on their couch.

"Hmm Well I don't wanna disappoint Miss Vanilla but I know she wouldn't want us leaving a kid alone like this" Vector put one hand on his chin thinking for a moment before snapping his fingers. "Espio you ask around town to see what you can learn about the Chao me and Charmy will stay here with the Kid.

Espio hesitantly nodded before leaving. There was something odd about this kid, he didn't quite know what but he figured whatever it was Vector and Charmy could handle it. They'd fought the worst of Eggman's army they could handle Babysitting.

Silver didn't quite remember when he went to sleep but he did remember his dream, he was back in the Chaotic Inferno that was his own timeline though it didn't feel like a dream, not completely he was back on the rooftop just after he left after a few minutes he saw Tulip take off in the direction he had left.

She found her way to the ruins of Eggman land just like he had flying past the wreckage of Metal Sonic 3.0 into the room where Eggman Nega had opened the portal after looking around for a few minutes she went to the controls opening the portal again clearly by accident judging from her face just as she went through the portal the dream ended.

Silver woke up around the same time as Blaze who begrudgingly got up, luckily they hadn't slept for too long, He didn't have much time to focus on the dream he still had to try and find Eggman Nega before he did too much damage. "You want to go after him don't you?" Blaze asked as if she had just read his mind. "I won't try to stop you but I'm going with you." She stated Matter of factly her tone making it evident to Silver there was no point arguing with her.

"Fine with me, Not like I can outrun you even if I wanted to, especially with my leg like this" Silver slowly got up, his leg definitely wasn't better but he could walk on it. He basically relied on Blaze to guide him around town; he hadn't really been around normal cities all that often.

He felt someone run into him and pull him into a hug, something that gave him a strange feeling of deja vu "I finally found you Sonic!" He immediately recognised that voice and he already knew where this was going almost in que she looked up realising her mistake. "You aren't sonic" She gasped before pulling away.

"Amy?" Silver questioned, earning a surprised look from the pink hedgehog.

"Huh? Have we met before?" Before Silver got the chance to answer Amy noticed Blaze with him. "Oh hey Blaze is this guy a friend of yours?" Amy basically pushed past Silver instead focusing on Blaze.

"Yes he's a very good friend of mine Amy meet Silver" Amy shook Silver's hand enthusiastically as she unknowingly reintroduced herself to him.

"It's nice to meet you Silver so what are you guys doing?

"Were searching for Dr. Eggman Nega it's not an understatement to say the fate of the world is at stake" Blaze explained before Silver had a chance to. "Have you seen him"

"No but I did Bash a robot that was trying to take Cheese away from Cream on the other side of Town maybe that was one of Eggman Nega's?" Amy looked back when she was finished explaining noticing the pair had already left. Honestly she was used to this by now.

Just as Silver and Blaze arrived on the scene at the same time as Espio who decided to remain unseen for now, He didn't know Blaze all that well and he didn't recognise Silver at all he'd just listen to see what they knew

"This is definitely one of Eggman Nega's Robots. I've smashed enough of them to know" Blaze mused looking through the wreckage. "All though it looks a little more advanced than his usual stuff" Espio listened closely Eggman Nega wasn't a name he recognised so he decided to tail them for now.

"How do you know Eggman Nega, Blaze? He told me he was a descendent of Dr. Eggman's and my Time is 200 years from now" Espio found Time travel a little far fetched but stranger things had happened.

"Well for me, Eggman Nega lives in the Sol dimension where I'm from so maybe he came to my dimension at some point? Maybe this version of Eggman Nega doesn't even know me yet." Espio continued to follow the pair unseen, trying to pick up any valuable information.

Back with the other Chaotix the girl had just woken up and immediately saw Vector "Ahh! Please don't eat me!" She jumped back almost knocking into Charmy.

"What? I'm not going to eat you kid, believe it or not we're trying to help you, You got a name? Where are your parents?" He asked as he headed into the kitchen to get something for her.

"I'm Tulip and I don't really have parents, I had a grandpa, he wasn't really my Grandpa he just looked after me but I don't think we'd be able to find him… Maybe Mr. Silver?" Vector handed her an apple just as she finished speaking before taking a bite out of one himself.

"Alright well where is this Silver?" Charmy asked as he sat down next to Tulip.

"I don't know he's around here I think" Tulip sounded unsure, eventually deciding to try the apple after seeing Vector eat one. "This is the best thing I've ever tasted.." She said quietly to herself but still Charmy heard her.

"An apple is the best thing you've ever eaten?" Charmy questioned all though Vector quickly tried to refocus on what was important.

"This Silver guy, what does he look like?"

"Well he's a hedgehog, he's got white quills and chest fur and yellow eyes." Charmy sent Espio a message with her description and told him to keep an eye out for anyone who fit the description.

I need to stop writing while sleep deprived. How are you guys holding up?
