Carsio's Background Story

Where it all began

Hello reader! Let me just say thank you for choosing my story to read. ^u^ This is about an FC I made for my sister aliciathewolf45. She paired her FC, Alicia the Angel Wolf, with Espio, so I decided to give Espio a twin brother for her OC, Alyssa the Cat, to be with.

I do not own any of the characters here except Carsio. The rest belong to SEGA.

"Come on, Espio!" Vector shouted from his room. "Even you have to do your own part during spring cleaning and get rid of anything you don't need anymore! So get cleaning!"

The purple ninja chameleon was in his room, sitting on the carpet with his legs criss-crossed, his hands on his knees and eyes shut when he heard his crocodile team leader calling him. Espio opened his eyes halfway and sighed knowing he didn't have much stuff to go through. His only possessions was his training equipment, meditating supplies, and some other miscellaneous things in his closet.

He stood up off the carpet flooring as he said aloud, "Doesn't Vector know I don't have a lot of stuff to through?" Espio sighed. "I guess I could go through my closet. Haven't been in there for a while."

The ninja made his way over to his closet with his arms crossed, dreading the seasonal cleaning. He opened the wooden door and looked upon a few boxes and a few piles of random junk. The chameleon sighed once more as he thought aloud, "Where to start?"

After going through almost all of his closet and deciding what to keep and what to toss, Espio finally was on his last box, which was preferably small.

"Finally." he thought aloud. "The last box."

Espio pulled the small, cardboard box out of the closet so it was accessible. The purple chameleon opened the box and looked at its contents. When he saw what was in the box, all went silent and he just stared inside.

In the box was a photo album, a memory book as some people would call it. The front cover had a picture that flooded Espio's head with once forgotten memories. The picture showed a child version of Espio with an arm around another chameleon that had the exact same physical appearance as him. Although, if you took a closer look at the second chameleon, you would see that the child did not have Espio's golden eyes. Instead, the child possessed red eyes. Both had an arm around each other and a smile on their faces. They stood in front of a small cream colored house near the woods.

Espio blinked a few times before he snapped out of his gaze. He reached into box and carefully took the album out and held it in his hands.

The ninja was silent, until he mumbled one word under his breath.

"Brother."

He opened the book and more pictures were revealed. Flipping through the pages, Espio looked at each picture, but with each picture seen, there came a flood of memories once forgotten by the chameleon.

After looking through the book and all that was inside, Espio closed it and, once again, stared upon the cover with childhood memories now overtaken his mind.

"My brother..." Espio said quietly to himself. "My dear twin brother... Carsio. ... I miss you. ... Ever since the day you... you were changed... by Eggman. ... It should have been me though. ... It was my lance."

"Got you now bro!" a 7-year old purple chameleon with red eyes said as he ran at another 7-year old chameleon with golden eyes, a child size lance in hand.

The gold eyed child jumped over the running brother, also having a child sized lance in hand, and, with a huge smile, exclaimed, "You missed, Carsio!"

With a smile also on his face, Carsio quickly turned around. "Alright, but how are your skills with a lance, Espio?!" the red eyed ninja asked as he jumped up into the air with his lance over his head ready to strike.
