SupergamerGreg79 is here along with a new chapter.
This chapter follows Tails and Cream as they search the Night Carnival zone in Twinkle Park.
Disclaimer: SEGA owns Sonic and Co. I only own Armand (who did not appear in this chapter) and this story.
Author's Note: If you have played Sonic Rush, you should know what color emeralds will be found in this area. I go by the order the Chaos Emeralds appear in Sonic's story, and by the order the emeralds are collected in Blaze's story.
At any rate, enjoy the chapter.
Chapter 7: Prizes and Surprises.
Just outside of the entrance to Twinkle Park, Tails and Cream had received tickets to the Night Carnival, a special area where cute couples get in free (reference to Sonic Adventure). They had acted like a couple to get free tickets, which was very easy, considering they seemed to be made for each other. They showed their tickets to the man in the booth, and he let them pass.
"Oh, Tails, it's so nice to be here." Cream told Tails after they were inside.
"I just hope we can find the emeralds before it's too late. But I suppose it won't hurt to enjoy ourselves." Tails said, excited to be alone with Cream. Then he said to himself, "And after tonight, you'll know how I truly feel."
"Did you say something?" Cream asked Tails.
"Huh? Oh, it's nothing." Tails replied.
After that, they decided to search the carnival. Tails was not only looking for the emeralds, but also a game booth to maybe win a prize for Cream. Little did he know, Cream was also doing the same thing. Cream found a racing area that was looking for an 8th racer. She heard that the prize was a Chaos Emerald, and a prize of the winner's choice. She quickly signed up, got her helmet, and got in the car she was assigned. After safety devices were checked, helmets secured, and seat belts were fastened, the countdown started.
"3…2…1…GO!!"
The race started. Cream took an early lead for the first lap. She seemed to have it in the bag for a while. Then, on the second lap, an unknown racer passed her by.
"Think you will win? I don't think so." Cream told the mystery racer, who just smiled.
The race continued, with the lead changing every few seconds. Finally, on the final lap, everyone thought Cream would win, but at the last second, the mystery racer passed her and won. Cream wasn't too upset, though. She was just sad that she wouldn't get anything for Tails.
"Darn it. Oh well, I'm sure he won't be mad." Cream told herself.
"And the winner is…Racer T." The announcer said on the loudspeaker.
Racer T then went up to the prize booth and received the green Chaos Emerald, and then chose a plush Chao doll as his choice. Then he left the racetrack. Cream followed him. She later caught up to him.
"Excuse me, Mr. Racer T." Cream said.
"What is it, Cream?" Racer T asked.
"Wait. How do you know my name?" Cream asked.
"Oh, sorry. I haven't taken my suit and helmet off yet." He replied.
He then took off the suit and helmet, revealing to Cream that Racer T was actually…
"Tails?" Cream asked, surprised.
"Yes, Cream, it's me." Tails told her.
"So…you beat me in the race? Good job." Cream told him.
"Thanks. You're not bad yourself. Also, I want to give you something." Tails then gave the Chao doll he won to Cream.
"You…won this…for me? Oh, Tails, thank you." Cream then hugged Tails, who blushed slightly.
"Aw, Cream, it was nothing. Besides, I won it for you because I want you to know something." Tails told her.
"What is it?" Cream asked.
"Cream, I won it for you because...I love you." Tails told her.
At that point, Tails brought Cream close and kissed her. Cream just sank in his arms and returned the kiss. They didn't care about anyone else watching; this was just between them. When they broke apart, they were both blushing.
"Tails, I love you too." Cream told Tails.
"How cute. A two-tailed fox and a rabbit enjoying their first moment of love." An unknown voice said. Then Eggman Nega appeared in a copter attached to a pole with a globe opposite the vehicle.
"Eggman?" Tails asked.
"I am Dr. Eggman Nega." He told them. "Remember it."
"What do you want?" Cream asked.
"Why, the Emeralds, of course. And I will crush anyone in my way."
The globe then unleashed a surge of electricity in different areas of the park, short-circuiting most of the rides. Fortunately, no one was hurt. He then slammed the copter down, unleashing a shockwave that brought down some of the booths. A small vehicle then emerged and headed straight towards Tails, who held the emerald. Nega then shot a surge of electricity at Tails, which paralyzed him and left him straight in the path of the vehicle. Tails closed his eyes and waited for his imminent death.
"TAILS, NO!!"
Cream pushed Tails out of the way, only to have the vehicle hit her instead. Cream fell down and was severely injured.
"CREAM!!"
Tails then ran over to Cream and knelt down next to her.
"Cream, why did you push me out of the way? I should have been the one to be hit, not you." Tails said, nearly in tears.
"Tails, I did it…because…I love you." Cream replied weakly.
Two medical officers came by and checked Cream out.
"Is she going to be all right?" Tails asked one of the doctors.
"Fortunately, yes. That vehicle did some major damage, but she'll survive."
Tails breathed a sigh of relief, then turned his attention to Eggman-Nega.
"YOU NEARLY KILLED HER! I WILL MAKE YOU PAY!!" Tails yelled, then charged at Nega.
"How much money do you want?" Nega joked.
"SHUT UP!!" Tails then slammed the Egg-Copter with his tails, busting the glass shielding the cockpit. Tails then turned his attention to Nega himself and charged toward him.
"FLYING TAIL SLAM!!" Tails flew at Nega, then slammed him out of the area.
"I will be back. And you will pay for this!!" Nega yelled as he dropped the red Sol Emerald. Tails picked it up and went to check on Cream.
Cream still had the Chaos Emerald and the "gift" Tails gave her. As she was lifted into an ambulance, Tails caught up to the doctors.
"Please, can I come along?" Tails asked one of the doctors.
"Of course you can. Hurry in now. We need to get her to the hospital." The doctor replied.
Tails hopped in and sat next to Cream as the ambulance left.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the desert…
Jet, Wave, and Storm had just left Eggman's base when he received a call on a communicator he got from Tails. The message was from Sonic, who was waiting outside Station Square Hospital after being treated for minor injuries.
"Yo, Jet, have you found anything out?" Sonic asked.
"You're not going to believe this, but Eggman is on our side for this one." Jet replied.
"WHAT! If you think I'm working with him, you have another thing coming."
"What choice do we have? He has something that can reverse the corruption of the world." Jet told Sonic.
"I'll buy it this time, but if you're lying, you're in for it." Sonic told him.
Sonic then noticed an ambulance pull up and two medics appear carrying Cream on a stretcher with Tails following.
"Jet, I'll get back to you." Sonic told Jet.
"All right. See you back in the city."
They got off, then Sonic ran in to see what happened to Cream.
"Tails, what happened to Cream?" Sonic asked Tails.
"It's a long story." Tails replied.
"I've got all day." Sonic said.
Tails then told Sonic what had happened.
"So, Eggman Nega almost killed Cream just for two emeralds?" Sonic asked in disbelief.
"That about sums it up." Tails told him.
"I'll tell the others later."
Sonic and Tails then headed into the medical room where Cream was located.
"Cream, I will get him for what he did to you." Tails thought.
