S2 Chapter 13: Defective Detectives

Big was laying down with Froggy ribbiting and the multiple colors falling from the sky.

Big: Hey, Froggy. It sure is a nice day.

He looked up at the sky and saw a huge white light.

Big: Whoa. That's pretty!

At the White house.

Woman: There've been five confirmed reports so far, Mr. President.

She was showing the President pictures of small houses in trees or on other buildings.

Woman: It seems that most of the buildings have landed in parts of the city closest to Mystic Ruin.

President: Great. And what about all the creatures they found inside?

The images switched to a bunch of little animals like the gang all bunched up like a squirrel, a pig, and three Flickies

Woman: The bird like ones are known as "flickies," sir.

President: And I'm assuming they all come from the same world as you, Y/n.

He turned to Y/n who got his scarf back and Shadow's ring was on his left wrist, but had bandages wrapped all around the places he was burned.

Y/n: They would be correct, Mr. President.

President: Hmm. What do you think, Professor Thorndyke?

He turned to Chuck and Chris.

Chuck: Definitely.

President: I see. Now, then, I'm sure you must be wondering why I asked you and your grandson here this afternoon.

Chuck: You're worried about the arrival of these creatures. And you're thinking you need to separate them from humans. Your concerned there'll be trouble two such different species unless they're... dealt with.

Woman: We wish we didn't have to. It's just-

Chuck: Don't apologize. We understand your situation completely.

Rouge, Knuckles, Y/n and Chaos were having a discussion on a roof top of a building.

Rouge: Have you heard a couple of more friends from back home dropped in? Seems every day is like a regular reunion around here. Course, if too many of us start showin' up, the humans aren't gonna be too happy. They'll probably decide we're dangerous and round us all up. Imagine us together... 24/7. My! I wonder what that'd be like. Don't either of you?

Knuckles blushed really hard.

Knuckles: (blushing) Get this straight! I'd rather live in solitary confinement than with you!

Y/n: Members of Team Chaos aren't supposed to snap at each other, Knuckles.

Knuckles: Right. Sorry.

Rouge: Don't get so defensive, sweetie! I'm only saying that the authorities won't like our kind around. Believe me, I don't like the idea of being locked up anymore than you do. I should've realized that the welcome mat wouldn't be out forever.

Knuckles: Yeah. Too good to be true. One day they love us because we're unique, and the next day, we're in jail because we're different. Well, they won't take me without a fight.

Y/n: Don't worry. I talked to the President about instead of locking us in solitary confinement, they'll put us in a secluded part of town to live in so it won't disturb anybody. And if anything bad happens, I told him that we, Team Chaos would be on it.

Rouge: Now, that's the right attitude. Oh, well, we'll just have to make the best of it. When they come to get us, I hope one of you will be around to protect me.

Y/n: If we aren't, you're going to have to work on protecting yourself.

Rouge: Gee. And I thought you were a gentleman.

Y/n: Screw off.

Rouge: Screw you!

Y/n: No, screw you.

Rouge: No, screw you!

Y/n: No, (grabbed Rouge's shoulders and pulled her to his face) screw you!!!

Knuckles: Whoa, Y/n hardly yells. Congrats, Bat.

Rouge was completely speechless, she pulled away and gave Y/n a piece of paper.

Rouge: You, this hotel, a week from now.

She flew off.

Knuckles/Chaos: What the hell did we just witness?

Y/n: Well, I think she's thinking of a surprise for me, so I'm going to go home and think really hard of what that could be.

He ran off with Chaos in his left bracelet.

Later that night.

Chris and Chuck were at the docks looking at the starey night sky or ocean.

Chuck: Don't know about you, Chris, but I'm pretty hungry. Why don't we go on home and have a little of Ella's-

Chris: Grandpa?

Chuck: Huh?

Chris: I've been thinking about what the President said. Do you really think they're gonna take Sonic and Y/n away?

Chuck walked to Chris and put a hand on his shoulder.

Chris: I mean, I know they're different, Y/n especially, but why should that matter? Deep down, they're just like you and me.

Chuck: I know. I know.

At a house on the docks.

A big crocodile with golden chains around his neck and headphones on roared.

Crocodile: Leave it to Charmy to take his own sweet time gettin' here.

He was with a purple chameleon with a yellow horn on the gap separating his eyes.

Chameleon: I'd say we've got more important things to worry about. Like where we are, for instance. And how did the three of us get here in the first place? And how do we get back?

Crocodile: Your guess is as good as mine, Espio. I'm just as confused as you are. Did we travel through time somehow? Or space maybe?

Espio: Which one do you think happened?

Crocodile: What difference does it make? All that matters is we're stuck here. And since we're stuck here, we ought to concentrate on a bigger question.

Espio: What's that?

Crocodile: Why is half of the moon missing?

Espio: Another thing to worry about, is if The Monster of Mobius is here.

Crocodile: Let's hope not. Over a thousand kills and still nobodies caught that psycho.

Suddenly, a small bee with a small orange jacket, black helmet with goggles barched in and flew to the crocodile.

Bee: Hey! Wait till you hear, Vector. You won't believe it in a million, trillion years!

Vector: What won't I believe?

Bee: We got blown into a whole different world! And the proof's right here in this newspaper!

Vector: Charmy.

Charmy: Uh-huh.

Vector: Will... you... get... off... my... nose?

Espio: All right. Where are we, Charmy?

Charmy: I don't know.

Vector: I ask you to do one simple thing! Your assignment was to find out where we are!

Charmy shoved the newspaper in Vector's mouth.

Charmy: Never mind that. Just look at this! Oops, sorry.

Vector: This better be good.

Charmy: Here!

The front cover of the newspaper had a picture of Sonic and Y/n.

Vector: What? Well, if it ain't our old friend Sonic! And it seems he made a new friend. Let's see here. "Sonic and Y/n save the day again." Sonic and Y/n the Hedgehog rescued the world from catastrophe once again when they nimbly prevented a long-forgotten space station, the Space Colony Ark, from crashing into the planet yesterday." "This is just the latest in a series of amazing rescues that has kept the famously speedy hedgehogs in the news. Since first arriving in Station Square under mysterious circumstances sometime ago, both have shown a remarkable aptitude for heroism against increasingly dangerous odds." "Through their use of supersonic speed, agility, strength, and just plain smarts, Sonic and Y/n the Hedgehog have become famous the world over for daring deeds, cool undercover missions, and fast-footed feats!" "Sonic and Y/n have shown that truth, honor and goodness can a will triumph every time!" So, Sonic and this Y/n guy are big heroes! What a laugh riot!

Charmy: You're just jealous 'cause you're not famous like Sonic and this Y/n are.

Espio: Knock it off, Charmy. Let me see that picture of Y/n.

Vector gave Espio the picture and Espio looked at it side by side of something blurry.

Charmy: Isn't that the losy picture of The Monster of Mobius?

Espio: Yeah, I have a hunch.

Espio put on some glasses, adjusted them a little and he was able to see Y/n was that blurr which made him smile.

Espio: We'll be famous soon. Especially, once we turn in The Monster of Mobius.

Charmy: What? But how will we? Anyone who's went after him has been killed.

Espio: After the space colony incident, it says he was injured. So, he won't be able to use his full strength.

Vector: (looking at the readers) In case you're wonderin', Detective Vector's the name! I'm a private eye kind of guy and the head of my very own detective agency! I may be lean, mean and green, but behind my cool croc exterior, I'm really just a big ol' softy! Just don't let that get around, though, you got me? I got a reputation. A detective's gotta be tough. So let's just keep this between you and me, okay?

Charmy: My name's Charmy and I can be-

Espio pushed him to the side.

Espio: My name is Espio. I'm the brains of this organization. I also possessed some killer spy skills. I'm smart. I'm quick on my feet. I also happen to be a ninja!

Charmy: He's also full of himself!

Espio: It's better to be full of myself than to be an obnoxious pipsqueak.

Charmy: Hey, Vector, can I tell 'em about me now?

Vector: Aw, too bad, Charmy, we're all out of time!

Charmy: Oh!

At the white house.

Man: Mr. President, we've just received word that a missile from Dr. Eggman's undersea base!

President: Huh? Find out where it's headed right away!

He quickly got the word.

Man: The missile is headed for the moon.

President: Ah. I should've known.

Man: Mr. President!

President: Yes? What's happening?

Man: It's Dr. Eggman! He's on the TV phone!

Eggman: Ah, good evening, sir. I wanted to apologize for that nasty Ark business. That was so unfortunate. And to show you how very sorry I am to have caused such a calamity, I thought I would offer to mend the moon for you, free of charge! It's the least I can do.

President: That's good news, Eggman.

Eggman: Getting it perfectly round won't be easy. But with a little luck and a whole lot of elbow grease, I'll have it patched up in a jiffy! Okay?

He hung up.

Man: Can we trace that?

President: He certainly is full of surprises, isn't he?

Woman: You don't really think he wants to repair the damage, do you, Mr. President?

President: I don't know what to think anymore.

Man: You did? You traced the call?

President: That was quick! Get Eggman back on the line right away!

Man: Yes. Mmm-hmm. Answering machine? But we just talked to him! Send some agents over there and grab him!

Woman: I wonder if we can trust him.

With Y/n and Chaos.

They were sitting on the top of a building looking at the half destroyed moon.

Y/n: This sky would be as good with the moon half destroyed.

Chaos: I can't believe all we did was sit there and watch it happen.

Y/n noticed something.

Y/n: Hey, what's that?

When it hit the moon, mechanical parts started to replace the parts of the moon that were destroyed.

Y/n: That's strange. We should head back, my leg is killing me.

Chaos: I told you to go to the Thorndyke residence and rest.

Y/n rolled his eyes and ran to the Thorndyke's and saw the moon repairment was on the news

Newscaster: It appears the moon has been repaired by the notorious Dr. Eggman.

Tails: Is it true it only took him 10 minutes?

Y/n: Well, he was able to do that exact damage in under 10 seconds.

Chuck: I have no admit, he's some scientist!

Cream: I don't know. I think it looks kind of funny, don't you?

Y/n: It is half mechanical, Cream.

Amy: Oh, who cares about some silly old moon? Where's Sonic?

Y/n: I just got here, but I'm pretty sure he's out running like usual.

The sun began to raise on the house of the detective agency.

Vector: Ah! Today's the day we solve the case.

Espio: Oh, yeah? What makes you so sure?

Charmy: Espio's right. What makes you think you think you can solve it today, Vector?

Vector put on some glasses.

Vector: Elementary, my dear Charmy, it just takes some clever sleuthing! I'm Detective Vector!

Espio: Sure, you're Detective Vector. You're also nuts.

Charmy: I think he's been reading too many detective stories again.

Vector: Ahh. That's very interesting.

Espio: Here he goes again.

Charmy: Oh, brother!

Vector put on a trench coat with a suit and neck tie underneath.

Vector: One more thing...

Espio got in his face.

Espio: How long are you gonna keep this up, anyway?

Vector: All right. The kid we're lookin' for got sent into this world from ours by Chaos Control like Sonic and Y/n. And I think one of those hedgehogs are behind it.

Espio: Normally, I would question if you knew it for a fact, but it would definitely be The Monster of Mobius' doing.

Vector: I had my intuition and that's good enough for me.

Charmy: You got a hunch, Vector?

Vector: I told you before, Charmy, it's not a hunch, it's intuition, with a capital "int"!

Later.

They were in the bushes of the Thorndyke's yard and looked into the window with binoculars to see Cream and Cheese sitting with Y/n.

Vector: Uh-huh. Bingo! See what I mean? The ol' intuition never fails!

Espio: I have to hand it to ya, it didn't take you long to find that hedgehog's hideaway.

Charmy: He had some help. It was listed on this map of stars' homes.

Espio: You mean, a star lives here?

Vector: From what I dug up, Sonic and Y/n have been layin' low with this kid whose mom's a real live big time movie celeb!

Espio: Blegh.

Vector: Sure, leave it to Sonic and a monster to mingle with a bunch of mental movie people. So shallow.

Charmy: You're jealous?

Vector: You bet. Who asked you, Charmy?

Charmy: (laugh) I got you that time, didn't I?

Vector: Never mind that. Let's get back to the job at hand. We got ourselves a damsel in distress to rescue and a monster to defeat here!

Espio: Well, at least we know where they are. Now all you have to do is figure out some way to get into that house.

Vector: That's right, pal. But it's gonna be kinda tricky. They probably got lots of fancy-schmancy security equipment.

Charmy: (gasp) Here, take a look!

Charmy gave the binoculars back to Vector and he saw Ella.

Charmy: A big, scary, security guard!

Vector: Man! Check out the beast in the ruffly apron! And oh, Chaos!

Espio: What is it?

He saw Cream laying on Y/n's lap and he stroked her head.

Vector: That monster is trying to crush that poor little girls head!

Y/n and Ella looked at them which made them duck.

Charmy: What do we do? Should we run for it?

Vector: Are you crazy? We can't turn back.

Espio: Don't forget, we're here on a mission!

With Sonic.

He was running up a mountain until he saw Eggman looking down on Station Square.

Sonic: Eggman!

Eggman turned to him.

Eggman: Sonic. Well, well. It's a beautiful afternoon, isn't it?

Back at the Thorndyke residence.

Espio was able to sneak near the window.

Vector: Attaboy! I should've known with those nifty ninja tricks of his, he could sneak with the best of 'em!

Inside.

Amy: Where is he? He told me he'd be back today at noon sharp!

Tails: Must've lost track of time!

Y/n: It would be the best so he can get as long a break from you as possible.

Amy: Hmph. Oh, yeah?

She pulled out her hammer and started swinging it around.

Amy: Well, this the last time he's gonna keep me waiting!

Chris: Amy!

She stopped when she felt like she hit something.

Amy: Uh-oh. It feels like I just hit something.

She hit an invisible Espio and hit him into a tree.

Vector: Hey, you okay?

He fell out of the tree.

Espio: I... think so. But she sure can swing a mean mallet.

He passed out.

Charmy: Poor Espio.

Vector: Sly, aren't they?

Charmy: What you gonna do?

Vector: Just you wait, Charmy! We'll give 'em a fight they'll never forget!

Charmy: All right!

Back with Sonic and Eggman.

They were sitting on the edge on that mountain and talking.

Sonic: You're in a good mood all of a sudden. What are you up to, Egghead?

Eggman: Nothing. I simply had a change of heart. I know it may surprise you, Sonic, but even eggcentric geniuses like myself have hearts.

Sonic: That so?

Eggman: I kid you not. It isn't easy being an evil madman. It's hard work.

Sonic: I don't buy it.

Eggman: I really mean it, Sonic. Building evil robot to do my bidding. Creating a Chaos creature just for kicks. Sometimes I think, "What's the point?" Maybe I should chuck it and retire somewhere far, far away.

Sonic: You might have somethin' there, Eggman.

Eggman: (laugh) Can't you just see it, Sonic? Goodbye, world domination. Hello, shuffleboard!

Sonic: Hey, are you on the level here, or is this just another one of your schemes?

Some people came behind them.

???: Excuse me.

Sonic turned to them.

Sonic: It can't be!

Back at the Thorndyke residence.

Amy: All right, let's start addressing the elephant in the room.

She points at Y/n.

Amy: How come you never told us you had lightning abilities, and how did you even get them?

Cream: I'm sure big brother has his reasons. Right, Y/n?

Y/n: I do. I had these powers since I was born. As for why I didn't tell you, it was to keep the secret of the Thunderhog Clan save.

Tails: Thunderhog Clan?

Amy: I've never heard of it.

Tails: They're this ancient clan of hedgehogs that have be supernatural ability to control and conjure lightning, I thought they were just the legend.

Y/n: No, we're very real. We were mostly wiped out during the last great war of Mobius, but my grandfather was able to survive and slowly restart the clan with my father who had me.

Chuck: So, in conclusion you're the last Thunderhog?

Chaos: No, there's another one. Y/n's grandfather had another child.

Chris: Really?

Y/n: Yes, this other child was my grandfather's first born. My uncle Spark.

Chuck: You had an uncle this whole time.

Tails: Why didn't he take care of you?

Y/n: He was traveling when the incident occurred, and when I went on my own, I didn't exactly leave him any clues of where I was going.

Tails: I'm sorry to hear that.

???: Woah. Who would have thought The Monster of Mobius would've been a legendary Thunderhog.

They looked and saw Vector and Charmy beside them.

Tails: What do you weirdos want?

Vector: You know what we want. Drop the innocent act, kiddo!

Charmy: Give up!

Tails: I don't know what you're talking about!

Chris: Tails, do you know these two?

Tails: (shakes head) I've never seen them before in my life, Chris!

Vector: Quit your stallin', will ya? Now, hand over that little bunny, or else!

Charmy: Yeah! Or else!

Cream: Sorry, sir, but where would you take me?

Cheese: Chao! Chao!

Ella: You don't think we'd let them take you?

Cream: Just asking.

Vector: Ah! There's the bodyguard monster!

He held Charmy with his stinker in front.

Vector: We'll get you! Charmy, get ready!

Amy: All right, you creeps! You asked for it!

Y/n: If you're not gonna leave quietly, then we're gonna have to make you.

They all got into a fight cloud.

Outside.

Sonic along with an adult rabbit that looked a bit like Cream, a pink dress with a small crimson button up vest, and a tall, muscular, elderly hedgehog that was cyan light blue like Y/n with an orange sleeve-less shirt that exposed his chest, black boots, and E/c eyes were in front of the door.

Rabbit: Thanks for the help, Sonic.

Sonic: No problem, Mrs. Vanilla.

Hedgehogs: I appreciate you taking me and this young woman here to stay for a bit. I definitely wouldn't have gotten lost with my nephew was with me. He's sharp eyesight and speed like yours could've easily found us somewhere to stay here.

Sonic: Wait. Sharp eyesight and speed like mine? What was your nephew's name?

Spark: Y/n. Why?

Sonic: Well, you might be in for a pleasant surprise.

They heard fighting from the house and went inside.

Sonic: What's goin' on here.

Tails: Sonic, help us. We're being attacked!

Vector: Well, look who's here. If it isn't Sonic the accomplice!

Sonic: I'm no accomplice, pal!

Vanilla and Spark came in.

Vector: (gasp) It's... It's you!

Vanilla: How nice to see you again, Detective.

Sonic: Hey, look, Cream and Y/n! Some people are here to see you!

They looked at Vanilla and Spark.

Vanilla: I've finally found... my baby!

Cream: M... M... (tearing) Mama.

Y/n: Uncle.

Spark: It's been awhile, my dear nephew.

He teared up and pat Y/n's head.

Spark: I hope you're not too old to your favorite uncle a hug.

Cream hugged her mother while Y/n hugged his uncle.

Vanilla: Oh, my baby.

Chris: Cream's mother and Y/n's uncle!

Vanilla: How can I ever repay you, Detective Vector?

Vector: Aw! No sweat. But just know, that hedgehog is The Monster of Mobius!

Vanilla: Now, I think you're just jumping to conclusions.

Y/n: (sigh) No, Mrs. Vanilla, he's not. I am. And what i did was wrong, but I'm still going to take care of Cream.

Vanilla walked over to him with a blank face.

Y/n: Cream is one of the big reasons I changed. Hate me if you want, but I made it my duty to protect her with my-

He was cut off when Vanilla hugged him which caught him by surprise.

Vanilla: I know, Sonic told me everything on the way over here. Thank you, for taking such good care of my little girl. I'm so grateful!

Vector: Huh? Grateful? But...

Charmy: What did Y/n do?

Sonic: You remember me, Vector. I'm Sonic the accomplice. And he's Y/n, The Monster of Mobius.

Vector: Hey, my old pal Sonic, fancy meetin' you here! Come on, Charmy, we don't want to be late for our next job, do we?

Sonic: What's the big rush, Vector? Stick around, why don't ya?

Amy: Yeah, we were just getting into the swing of things!

Y/n: We still haven't finished our little lesson about picking on little girls.

He cracked his knuckles.

Vector: Thanks anyway! But time's awastin' and I'm busy.

Sonic: I detect a little uneasiness, Detective.

They all started laughing and Eggman watched from the Egg-carrier.

Eggman: Sounds like quite the party! Well for you can, Sonic, you sucker!

He flew away and Espio was still hurt on the ground.

Espio: Hey, you guys. Help me out here, will you?

To be continued.
