The Chaotix: Origins

The Chaotix: Origins, is a fan-made script for a spin off film explaining the origins and eventual creation of the Chaotix detective agency. The film takes place before most events of the main Sonic franchise, focusing on the formation of The Chaotix, Vector the Crocodile, Espio the Chameleon, Charmy Bee and Mighty the Armadillo. Despite it's placement it's unknown if the narrative precedes Knuckles' Chaotix, follows it or exists in simply another universe where the game is non-canon.
== Synopsis ==
Vector, a 20 year crocodile, heads a private investigative agency with his associate, Charmy Bee. A six year old Bee, Vector is his legal guardian after Charmy had no where left to go. The story starts as the two are sent on a mission only to clash with an enforcer for hire trained in ninjtsu, known as Espio the Chameleon. However after Espio's client goes missing the three have to band together to uncover a mysterious conspiracy.
== Script (Under Construction) ==
=== Chapter I: The Introduction ===
[The film begins showing an old video on a black and white screen. Three human children are shown on their way to a pool.]
Narrator: These three are spending their leisure day at the city pool. Aren't they lucky?
[the kids are shown having fun, before getting out of the pool to grab towels.]
Narrator: Let's see what they have brought with them to the pool today.
Bart has a plain towel. [the word plain with the accompanied definition appears on screen]
Sarah has a bright towel. [the word bright with the accompanied definition appears on screen]
Jonathan has a gay towel. [the word gay with the accompanied definition appears on screen]
[The shot pans out to show a classroom of teenage kids, human and otherwise, hysterically laughing. The scene cuts away as a Chameleon is seen subtly following a fox girl.]
Chameleon (Narration): There's something...wrong with kids today. They know too much. Take this little gem.
[the shot then cuts to the fox girl in a house of another fox in his twenties, with the Chameleon waiting outside the house blending into the area, and eavesdropping on the conversation.]
Chameleon (Narration): She's 13. Already she's got herself a winner. Sure, he's three times her age, but he's got money for drugs and he drives a nice car.
Guy: Who's the man, baby? Who's the man?
Girl: You are. You're the man.
Guy: Right answer babe, I'm the man.
[The Chameleon rolls his eyes in response]
Chameleon (Narration) : I'm not saying I’m exactly a saint or anything. Turns out ninjutsu doesn't look good on a resumé. I don't have a job title, I'm not in the Yellow Pages, but if you need someone to go missing, or maybe you got trouble with someone, someone's messing around with your underage daughter, you might ask around for me.
[The shot freeze frames zoomed on the Chameleon as text appears on the screen]
Espio - Enforcer For Hire; Trained in the art of Ninjutsu.
[As the girl leaves the house, Espio approaches the door. The guy opens the door to see Espio.)
Espio: So you’re the man, huh?
[The guy shows a brief look of confusion, before Espio sucker punches him to the floor.]
Espio: Next time, I'd suggest staying away from little girls.
[Espio is seen casually walking off to his car, before the scene cuts to shots of a large empty house with Vector sleeping on the floor. Everything is quiet with only few ambient noises heard. Following the peace an energetic bee storms into the house, yelling.]
Charmy: Vector!
[Vector's eyes open, to show him in a sleep deprived state, only to barely move out of tiredness.]
Vector: Erugh
Charmy: Vector Wake Up! Wake Up! We have a job! 
Vector: Charmy what are you saying?
[Vector resists as Charmy tries to comically get him off the ground, failing.]
Charmy: Come on Vector get up
Vector:...but...wait, did you say a job?
Charmy: Yeah
[Vector then springs up and changes his expression to one of extreme excitement, Charmy a bit surprised by Vector's sudden change in mood .]
Vector: A job!? Charmy are you crazy!
Charmy: Crazy as ever Captain!
Vector: You actually got us a job!?
Charmy: Hell Yeah!
Vector: That's the spirit Charmy, you sick bastard, you finally pulled it off!
Charmy: umm...Thank you?
Vector: Let's not waste any time Charmy, which way is our client?
[The two are then seen moving towards the house of the client moments before meeting them.]
Vector: Know anything about the case yet?
Charmy: Nope. One thing you should probably know, though is she's kind of got a permanent grump face thing going on. 
Vector: pft, Okay.
[Vector looks at Charmy sarcastically]
Charmy: What?
Vector: I get it. Look for a little kid I get the concern but I've seen a lot of hell in my day, I'm sure it can't be that bad.
[As the two approach the door a old cat woman opens the door. Vector upon seeing her face immediately has trouble looking at her directly.]
Vector: Oh dear lord.
Cat: Excuse me, sir? Is everything alright?
Vector: Everything, pfft, oh yeah, I just am a little self conscious of people seeing me this early in the morning.
Charmy: Don't mind him, he's just a little embarrassed.
Cat: oh, alright then. You boys can come right in, I'll just be a moment.
[The lady goes back into her house, to get things ready.]
Vector: ...and that's her default expression, she isn't like upset or anything?
Charmy: Yeah, that's her default expression, gravity does weird things to you when you get older.
Vector: Charmy are you sure about this. If she's this hard to look at you really think she has a lot of money?
Charmy: Yes, Vector it may be hard to look at but it's the expression of a hard to look at old lady with a crap load of money
Vector: You're right, we need this one.
[The two sit down across from the lady with Vector having a pen and notes to write any details, the lady might have necessary to the case.]
Cat: It's my daughter, she's gone missing.
Vector: Missing?
Cat: I'm terribly worried about where she could be.
[as Vector and the lady are talking Charmy briefly sees an urn, before looking back at it to realize that the urn has the name Ashley on it.]
Cat: It's just Ashley's never been gone this long before.
[Charmy elbows Vector to show him, the urn. Vector sees the urn and hesitantly stops Charmy from pointing it out to the cat.]
Vector: Right, um, how long has she been missing?
Cat: Ever since the funeral.
Vector: Hmm. Well we can start our investigation right away, just as soon as you can pay us.
Vector (Narration): My folks, they told me to reach for the stars, always followed the advice and then, I met Charmy. The poor kid had nowhere to go, no living relatives so I took him in. Thing is, he made me realize money doesn't grow on trees.
[The two walk into a cafe before stopping at the man by the bar and showing them ambiguous business cards.]
Vector: CIA!
[The shot freeze frames as text appears on the screen]
Vector & Charmy - Chaotix Investigative Agency; Morally Ambiguous (Also no where near the real CIA)
Vector: We have reason to believe, there is someone in your kitchen trying to carry an extremely lethal weapon. we have a search warrent and are going to need a closer look.
Bar Tender: The kid is part of the CIA?
Charmy: Sir, I'm a bee, we don't have very long life spans. 
Bar Tender: (hesitant) Okay, go ahead.
[The two get the kitchen evacuated and begin to take various items of food, including pies and other baked goods. Once the two have a bag of items they walk out of the kitchen. The two face all the staff, Charmy holding the bag.]
Vector: My associate found a large unregistered lethal weapon. The kitchen is clear and we'll take it back to headquarters for further analysis.
[the two walk out of the cafe, as the staff get back to work.]
Vector (Narration): Technically I wasn't lying. If soul food like the kind they have at that place isn't a large unregistered lethal weapon, I don't know what is.
=== Chapter II: The Case ===
[Text displaying one day later appears showing Espio walking over to a human girl in a car.]
Espio: And you are, Miss Jade Garnet?
Jade: (uneasy) Yeah, that's...that's me
Espio: Right, who are the targets?
[Jade pulls out a small piece of paper with names written on it. She quickly gives it to Espio.]
Jade: I think that their may be more but I only have the names of these two. Can you take care of it?
Espio: ...Consider the job done.
Jade: Thank you sir, I can't tell you how much you're appreciated. I feel better already
Espio: I just going to be doing my job miss
Jade: They've been following me around and asking my friends where I live. I've just been really scared, but, um, you make me feel safe.
Espio: Want to feel more safe? Pay me a little extra and I'll find these "other guys"
Jade: What?
Espio: My job isn't to find people's identities, that's going to cost you.
[The scene cuts to Espio walking off with the money.]
Espio (Narration): Sometimes, I feel okay about things. Not often. Could try for an investigator's licence. Become a P.I. Those guys help people. Maybe then I'd be able to get some real sleep.
[the next scene cuts to Vector and Charmy walking around to the outside of a bar as it's closing. Charmy asks everyone they see if anyone's seen Jade Garnet. While Charmy's handling that, Vector's waiting on the side of the building for the last of the staff to leave.As the staff leave Charmy comes around the corner with Vector]
Vector: Charmy any luck yet?
Charmy: Nope, I asked everyone on the way here, no one's seen her yet.
Vector: Sounds good, time to enter phase two.
Charmy: What's phase two?
Vector: We break into the bar and check her credit card number. Then we can track her down from there.
[Vector moves to the back door and punches the glass to try and open the door from the inside. However upon breaking the glass, a shard get's caught on his wrist. Vector stumbles before looking at his wrist.]
Charmy: Vector are you okay
Vector: That's-It's-Lot- Blood...That's a lot of blood 
Charmy: Vector?
[Vector keeps flinching and ends up falling to the ground.]
Vector: Mother of all Chaos! Charmy get help now! Charmy it went down the river!
Charmy: Down the river? is that the horizontal one?
Vector: The bad one! Vertical wound, the bad one! Get Help!
[The two are next seen in an ambulance racing towards a hospital. Charmy asks the paramedics if they've seen Jade. The two are next in the hospital, Charmy asking everyone in the waiting area if anyone's seen Jade. A confused Vector is wheeled out of the hospital by Charmy.]
Charmy: So did you find god?
Vector: Did you find Jade? 
[The scene skips to Espio waking up the next day, in an apartment, getting ready for the day. After doing pull ups, he checks the newspaper.]
Espio: Two criminals caught in high speed pursuit...impressive.
[Espio knocks on the door of the Chaotix residence. As Vector opens the door he gets sucker punched by Espio and falls to the ground.]
Espio: Mr. Vector we're going to play a game.
Vector: I think you have the wrong guy
[Espio then proceeds to kick Vector]
Espio: It's called shut up unless you're name is Espio.
Vector: My favorite
Espio: So... you and you're six year old associate are private investigators?
Vector: He's a bee, he has a short life span. Look if you want money-
Espio: No I'm not here for money I'm here to deliver a message, Stop looking for Jade.
Vector: That's my job though
Espio: And this is mine
Vector: I'm not even looking for Jade. She's a person of interest, man. Fine. I'm done. Put a fork in me. Don't actually though
Espio: Now that's no fun...Right, so before I leave I I'm going to have to take your left arm.
Vector: No!
[As Vector resists Espio takes Vector's arm behind his back stepping on his body.]
Espio: Right so when you talk to your doctor just tell him, you have a spiral fracture on the left radius
Vector: No!
[Espio proceeds to injure Vector]
Vector: Gahhhh!!!!!! No! Why! Why was that necessary!
Espio: Have a nice day sir.
[Espio leaves the house only to run into Charmy carrying a box of Chaos Cola just outside the house.]
Charmy: Good Morning sir
Espio: Hey
Charmy: Would you like a Chaos Cola
Espio: Sure...are you by any chance Charmy Bee?
Charmy: Yeah, are you a friend of Vector's
Espio: ...New business associate, are you guys celebrating-
Charmy: We're celebrating a big lead we just got on our case
Espio: Right, well you two have fun with that.
[Bidding farewell Espio get's into his car and drives back to his apartment. On his way to his room he is ambushed, waking up in his room to see a polar bear and duck wearing suits tagged, Bean and Bark.]
Bark: Hey, Wakey wakey!
Bean: Perfect now that you're awake let's start with the basics. Where is Jade?
Espio: Right, as much as I would like to help you, I don't know
Bean: oh Bark you hear that?
Bark: Oh I heard it
Bean: Why didn't you say so, I guess we're done talking
[Bean proceeds to kick Espio, before Bark takes a fish out of his fish tank and eats it]
Espio: Oh hey, no! no! Hey! Not the fish. Come on that's a native Japanese koi fish. Hey Bean, can you ask this guy to behave like a professional?
Bean: how the do you know my name?
Espio: It's on your suit, Bark's too.
Bean: Damn it!
Espio: Idiots...you know, kid, when I get that gun off you, the bullets are going to be you're dinner. 
Bark: Screw you 
[Bark eats another koi.]
Espio: Look, now you're just embarrassing yourselves. When you came here tonight, was this what you wanted to happen? What, you came here to eat my fish? To get your identities blown? Look, if you come in here, you beat up on me, you trash the place,I understand, I get it, it's part of the job. I accept it, all right?But what did you do? You did something different from that, didn't you? Right? You pissed me off. You made an enemy. Now, even if I knew something, I wouldn't tell you, kid. And you know why I wouldn't tell you?And this is... It's not my only reason, but it is a principle reason. You know, I wouldn't tell you 'cause you're a god damn moron.
[suddenly all the lights turn on causing Bark and Bean to flinch, giving Espio the time to camouflage. Once camouflaged Espio only touches Bean but startles him causing him to shoot Bark and run out in a panic, Bark struggling to follow.]
Bark: Don't think this is over, we will kill you and Jade.
[Espio rolls his eyes as he makes his way down to the fire escape into his car.]
[the scene cuts to Vector and Charmy in a bar with Vector going into the bathroom. As Vector opens to stall Espio appears behind him with a gun.]
Espio: Vector it's Espio. Don't get upset. I'm not here to hurt you. I just wanna ask you a question.
Vector: Easy there buddy, I'm not really into that okay, and may I add I'm quite the lady's man
Espio: No Vector, not about that, it's about Jade
Vector: Oh great now what is it?
Espio: I want you to find her
[the scene cuts to Vector, Espio and Charmy sitting at a table in the bar.]
Vector: So you think these guys are gonna hurt Jade?
Espio: Sure, after they're done killing her. You know, I asked around about you. There's a couple of people I trust, turns out you're pretty good at this.
Vector: Look who did his homework...
Charmy: You're the guy who beat up Vector? 
Vector: Sucker-punched, big difference. But don't worry. He just did it for money.
Charmy: You beat people up
and charge money?
Vector: Yeah. Sad, isn't it?
Charmy: That's really your job?
Espio: Yep.
Charmy: So, um, how much would you charge
to beat up my friend Janet?
Vector: What!?
Espio: How much you got?
Charmy: 30 bucks.
Espio: Is she a big girl?
Charmy: She's tall. Super annoying.
Vector: Okay, this conversation is over.
Espio: So, what do you two think? Are you in?
Vector: Let me get this straight you're re-hiring us to find Jade?
Espio: Yes, isn't that what you were doing
Vector: It's complicated, but why should I trust you, the guy who practically broke my arm
Espio: I like where I live and I don't wanna move. Simple as that. I'll pay you double the person who put you on the case.
Vector: Triple
Espio: Triple?...damn, fine.
Vector: Good to hear, because I just about cracked the case. 
Espio: Oh boy. This is gonna be good
Vector: Just keep your mouth shut and let me take care of this.
=== Chapter III: The Lead ===
[Vector and Espio are then seen walking into a jail down a hallway.]
Espio: Well geez, you sure are taking safety measures
Vector: Very Funny. Sorry I won't instantly trust the one who broke my arm seven hours later.
Espio: If I didn't know any better I'd say this looks like an ambush, you didn't even bring Charmy
Vector: Not exactly, I got a hot tip of someone Jade knew pretty well that just got held up in the detention center...You know, the thing about keeping your mouth closed is it prevents you from speaking.
Espio: Sure. Unless, of course, you're a ventriloquist.
Vector: Load of crap, You can always see their mouths moving.
Espio: Sometim-
Vector: Always, now you ready to meet our witness that knows Jade pretty well?
Espio: ...Oh and now you want me to speak?
[An armadillo comes into the communication room getting on the phone. Vector also allows Espio to take the phone on his side, in front of him.]
Armadillo: Excuse me, do I know either of you two?
Espio: No, but we're private detectives...The...Chaotix Detective Agency, we have some questions we need to ask you.
Armadillo: ...Fine, ask away.
Espio: Do you know a woman named Jade Garnet?
Armadillo: [rolls his eyes] Yes
Vector: Well I told you Espio, see you later
Espio: Hold on one second Vector, don't leave this doesn't mean anything. Just because you found someone who knows someone doesn't mean anything. People are trying to kill her. What makes you think she still lives where this guy remembers.
Vector: He knows Jade pretty well
Espio: Yes Vector I heard you this time and the other two times
Vector: Well I don't hear you hearing it
Espio: Goddamn you
[Vector comes over to Espio and takes the phone.]
Vector: Do you know where Jade is?
Armadillo: Listen, gentlemen is this all your here for because me partner and I don't know anything.
Espio: Partner? Hold on what's your name?
Armadillo: Mighty
Espio: The one in the high speed pursuit with the flying squirrel
Mighty: Yes
Vector: Wait, Ray, the flying squirrel?
Espio: What the hell were doing to get arrested?
Mighty: ...listen gentlemen you're stepping on very dangerous ground okay? Whatever you think this is, it's bigger than you think and can handle. I don't want to die, let's just say it's safer in here for me than out there.
Vector: ...Okay...Alright...let's just...No! You listen here you godamn worm! Do I look like I give a damn if I can handle this or not, because I clearly don't! 
Espio: Woah, Vector, calm down
Vector: Don't touch me Espio, I've had enough of you too! Come near me again I'll rip your head off with my godamn teeth! I don't know what you have invested in this and I don't know what this Mighty guy has, but I'm not going tobe a busted arm, busted relationship and busted wrist deep, just to be stuck at a stop!
Mighty: ...
Vector: Listen to me, I don't care if you die and I don't care if I die. Tell me everything you know
Mighty: You really do have a death wish don't you?
Vector: That's for you to find out
Mighty: Geez, alright. Let's start over. My name is Mighty, Mighty the Armadillo I'm an attorney, I was hired by Jade and Ray to help write a script for a film they were working on. Now all the sudden a man named Eggman and his thugs are trying to kill all of us involved.
Espio: Eggman, holy crap, are you sure it's just because of the movie?
Mighty: That's my only guess, I'm not even sure why he wants to kill us for making it, all I know is everyone involved in the production keeps getting killed, and I don't want to be next.
Vector: Damn...Is there anyone you know who might have any knowledge of where Jade is...that's still alive?
Mighty: I mean the director's alive but-
Vector: Who, who's the director
Mighty: ...The Director's name is Budd Marx
Vector: Is this a sick joke! What kind of fake name is Budd Marx!
Espio: No Vector, Budd Marx is an actual person, not exactly I type of director I was thinking of though
Mighty: Okay look, not that you should be following this guy but he's been trying to move out of "that" industry and into the legit film industry for a while now the only reason he was brought on board was for controversy and name's sake. 
Vector: So, the where are we supposed to find this guy
Mighty: He's hosting a party at a club tomorrow night, everyone involved in the movie was invited.
Vector: Fine, take us
Mighty: Hell no, I'm not taking a single step out of this detention center.
Vector: We'll pay you 30,000
Mighty: and bail?
Vector: Both of you
Mighty: Make it 40,000
Vector: Espio?
Espio: You wanted me to help?
Vector: I'm not paying 40,000
Espio: I'm already paying you
Vector: Yeah, but you're not paying him?
Mighty: What the hell did I just agree to?
[the next shot shows all five at the Chaotix residence.Vector is seen at a desk reading the news paper before Espio comes up to him.]
Espio: I think It's about time you explained yourself Vector
Vector: Excuse me?
Espio: Whp do you work for?
Vector: Alright, get everyone it's about time you all knew.
[Everyone sits at a large table]
Vector: Lat week, Charmy and I were hired by a very lovely rabbit, a Miss Vanilla to find her missing daughter, Cream. Sounds normal so far right? 
Mighty: Pretty normal to me
Vector: Well I look further into this, turns out she was kidnapped and held as a hostage by this Eggman guy's goons to try a lure this human girl, Jade Garnet to them. So the plan was find Jade take her to the thugs and have a good old manly hostage stand off, where in the end we go home with both.
Espio: ...What's so unusual about that
Vector: Two days ago, Vanilla says she has to talk, she says she saw Ray in the house where Jade used to live
Ray: But I was in jail, two days ago
Vector: Exactly
Charmy: Whatever Vector, you just want to be the one to make out with Vanilla when It's all over
Vector: Charmy what are you talking about!?
Charmy: Every time on the way back from seeing her all he talks about about is her and how she looks,and her adorable mannerisms and-
Vector: ...Charmy...
Charmy: and how soft her lips must feel and her-
Vector: Charmy, no one asked for your opinion!!!
Espio: Well Vector you're not denying the accusations. 
Vector: Shut up, Espio!
=== Chapter IV: The Party of Nightmares (Under Construction) ===
[The five move out of the Chaotix residence to get in Espio's car. Ray, Mighty and Espio get in, before Vector notices Charmy]
Vector: Woah, not so fast Charmy you're not coming
Charmy: What, come on Vector, why not?
Vector: We're going to a... very adult oriented party
Charmy: and?
Vector: Charmy you're six
Charmy: I'm a bee, we have very short life spans
Vector: Charmy, I was the one that came up with that excuse, it's not going to happen
Espio: Hurry this up, Vector, don't forgot getting there late could be the difference between the lead being dead or alive.
Vector: Charmy stay here, end of the discussion.
Charmy: Fine
[Vector get's in the car and the four talk as the car drives towards the party.]
Vector: Okay one last time let's go over the plan
Espio: Mighty and Ray will get us into the party. Once we get in keep a low profile, and try to look for clues as fast as possible.
[Vector looks down at his phone.]
Vector: Wait Espio! Look I don't have a lot of time to explain, but right now I really need you to go to 37 West Central St.
Espio: What? Vector, is it really that important, our lead could die may I remind you
Vector: Espio, it's my client, no time to explain just bring me there 
Espio: Fine. But it's on you if we get there and Marx is dead
[The four arrive at Vanilla's house. vanilla is seen walking on a sidewalk, with Vector trying to get her attention. Vanilla angrily begins to walk faster, causing Vector to get out of the car.]
