Chapter 10: Charmy:

Vector's POV:

Espio was meditating while I was reading a detective novel.

Espio then gets up. "Someone is in danger," says Espio.

"Wha- who," I asked.

. . .

We then saw Sleet and Dingo have captured this bug kid. "Help," he says.

"We better help the kid out," says Vector. Espio was already on it. He knocked Sleet and Dingo down. "Show-off."

. . .

We were on our way back to Knothole. "So, what's your name, Kid," I asked.

"I'm Charmy Bee."

"How did you get mixed up in that," asks Espio.

"I was just looking for some berries and they grabbed me," says Charmy.

"They were probably going to make you into a robot," I said.

"That sounds awesome," says Charmy.

Espio and I looked at each other. "It's actually bad," I said.

"Oh, so not awesome," says Charmy.

"We better get back," says Espio.

. . .

When we were walking, Espio stops us. "What's up," I asked.

"Trouble," says Espio.

"Is it Sleet and Dingo," I asked.

"Nasty Hyenas!"

The Nasty Hyenas were a biker gang that had us surrounded. "Look what we got here, some tasty morsels!"

"You don't want to mess with us," I said.

"What'cha gonna do if we do?"

. . .

After Espio and me beat those guys up, we were on our way.

"You guys are amazing," says Charmy.

"We should be heading back soon," says Espio.

"Hey, who's that up ahead," asks Charmy.

It was a mink who just got robbed. "It's Sir Bartleby Montclair of Dresdin, one of Robotropolis' richest aristocrats... and Princess Sally's betrothed," I said, "but I think she can do better." We then walked towards him.

"How humiliaTting. It's bad enough I have to fund Robotnik's terrifying creaTtions, but I just got robbed! "

"Hey Buddy," I said.

"AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH! Cannibals!"

This guy makes Antoine look brave. "What happened," I asked.

"Ae you deTtectives?"

There was a pause. We can't tell this guy we're freedom fighters. "Sure," I said.

"I didn't see them coming, but as I was quiTte on my way back to Robotropolis, they took everything, my money, my coach, even my clothes!"

"Clothes are overrated," says Espio.

I then had an idea. "We'll find the perp for the right price," I said.

"You have a deal," says Bartleby.

. . .

We then searched the area for clues.

"So, have you guys ever been detectives before," asks Charmy.

"No," Espio and me both said.

I then found something. "I think I found a clue," I said, "that tree just starting to move!" The tree then ran, and we chased after it.

. . .

We were then at this weird building. We took a look. "I recognize that guy over there," says Espio, "that's Dave! He was Robotnik's intern!"

"And that's Willy Walrus," I said, "he's good at breaking and entering... but not so much at escaping."

"And those are weasel bandits," says Charmy, "the name kind of says it all."

"And there's the tree," I said, "wait, that's a guy in a tree costume!"

"Fellow members of the Lightning Bolt Society," says Willy Walrus, "thanks to the Weasel Bandits robbing Sir Bartleby Montclair of Dresdin, we might finally get Dr. Robotnik to acknowledge us!"

"They want Robotnik's attention," I asked, "we better get in there!" We then crashed in.

"Who are you," asks Willy Walrus.

"Your worst nightmare," I said.

"You're me... getting married," asks Willy Walrus.

"What," I asked, "no, it's a metaphor... what?"

"Who are you guys," asks Espio.

"We are a secret society of evil villains," says Willy Walrus, "we are the Lightning Bolt Society!"

"UUUUUUUUUhhhhhhhhh... you just seem like common crooks to me," I said.

"No, we're evil villains," says Willy Walrus, "I am Willy Walrus, this is Dave the Intern, the Weasel Bandits, and the Chameleon!"

"I'm not one of you guys," says Espio.

"Not you, the tree spy, his name is the Chameleon," says Willy Walrus.

We all looked at each other. "But he's a wolf," I said.

"But I have a lot of disguises," says Chameleon, "Oak tree, Walnut tree, Maple tree, Weeping Willow."

"So, your disguises are all trees then," asks Espio.

The three of us then huddled up. "So, we all know these guys are idiots, right," I asked.

"Oh yeah," says Espio.

"The biggest," says Charmy.

"Just checking," I said. We then stopped huddling. "You guys committed a crime, so we're gonna kick your butts."

"Lightning Bolt Society, destroy them!"

. . .

After easily beating those Lightning Bolt Losers, we returned Bartleby's stuff. "Thank you, Gentlemen, I will never forget this!"

. . .

"A detective agency," asks Sally.

"Yep," I said, "we are now the Chaotix Detective Agency! Me, Espio, and Charmy here!"

"Well, good luck with that." Sally then walks away.

The Chaotix Detective Agency is now in business!

In the next chapter, Robotnik creates a robot copy of Sally.
