Chapter 9: Friends
Cream checked her watch, for what must have been the tenth time in so many minutes. It had become as such, Sonic had informed Team Rose and Team Dark that whatever was happening with Metal was going to be bad and that they should watch themselves.
About ten minutes later Team Rose had been called up and asked to meet with Team Sonic at Station Square Mall.
Cream sat waiting in a KFC, she had a kids meal. She was forced by Sonic to sit alone well he, the rest of his team and the rest of Team Rose talked about…something.
As Cream had nothing to do but eat her food, her mind wondered to Bokkun.
I wonder why he disappeared for a year? Was the question that kept swimming around her head. It didn't make sense, one day he'd been there, then Eggman hadn't attacked for a week, then no one knew where Bokkun had went. They never saw or heard from him, he didn't deliver TVs anymore and Eggman wasn't using him for anything.
What really annoyed Cream was that no one besides her cared, they were just happy to be rid of the annoying robot.
Cream blinked her eyes and looked up at the Sonic and Amy as they talked about whatever they were talking about.
Why do I care anyways? It not like he didn't annoy me, so why do I care that he's back at all…
Before Cream had a chance to think about this anymore Amy and Big walked back over.
Cream glanced at her team mates, and was surprized at what rested in Amy's hands, the Red Chaos Emerald! More questions about what her friends had been talking about rushed through her head.
Amy sat down on the table, and Big just stood there being Big.
"Cream, since I know you'll ask, the talk was about you." Amy said as she stared Cream down, Cream had a questing look on her face.
"What about? What have I done?" Cream appeared calm, but inside she was freaking out.
"Well, Tails noticed when Metal came to help Bronze, that when you saw Bokkun you waved at him. We're worried that you don't see the seriousness of the current events."
Cream took five seconds to realise what Amy was trying to say without saying. What she was saying was that Cream couldn't be Bokkun's friend anymore.
Cream decided that this day was going to end badly.
"Just because I'm a kid doesn't mean I can't take this fight seriously!" Cream said, as if she was mad about what Amy was saying, when in fact Cream was perfectly calm.
Amy sighed at the childish response.
'It isn't Cream's fault, she just a child.' Amy told herself.
"Look, just don't talk to Bokkun okay? He's bad news, and if you get too close he'll pull you down too when we destroy him and team Metal." Amy knew that what she was saying hurt Cream's feelings, but it was for the best. Team Metal was nothing but trouble.
Cream had to work very hard to no show how sadden she was by what Amy said, she thought she was doing good only letting a single tear drop when she felt more like crying a river.
Amy saw the tear and just wanted to sigh more at Cream's childishness.
"Changing the subject, Sonic found an emerald," Amy said as if this part of the talk wasn't important, "And he thought that the best person to hold onto it was you, because Team Metal wouldn't think we'd give it to you." Amy said as she handed Cream the Red Chaos Emerald, Cream took hold of it without question.
Cream noticed that Amy had continued talking, but Cream herself wasn't paying attention, no Cream was focusing on the Emerald in her hands; as she found something was…off about the way the emerald shined.
"You know, if she wants you to hurt a friend you say no,"
Cream's head snapped up and she looked around, Amy stopped talking and focused on Cream because of her sudden movement. Cream looked around the KFC no one was looking at her or seemed to have said anything, Amy had seemed to notice anyone interrupt her either…Where'd that voice come from?
Amy shuck her head again, then got up, Cream followed and Big started following after realising that the team was moving.
Team Rose didn't think they were in danger, but they were.
"See Wrath, the single was in the KFC, and when Team Rose leaves KFC the single follows. I do believe that they had an Emerald." A monotone voice said from the side of Team Rose. Amy shivered at hearing his voice.
Big and Cream turned first, Cream had placed the Emerald in her Jacket Pocket. Cream took a second to look Team Metal over, Metal's way of standing mimicked Sonic's so well, Wrath seemed to be twitchy, as he stared at Amy, Big and Cream with slight Hatred. Then there was Bokkun, he looked kind of nervous about what was going to happen. Looking closely Cream noticed that he was wearing a heart shaped locket, which was kind of odd.
Cream didn't have to long to question the Locket, as Amy had summoned one of her many Giant Pika-Pika hammers, and she flung it with all her might at Metal's head. It hit dead center, and Metal fell to the floor.
Silence was all that was heard. Then Metal slowly got up looked at Each Member of Team Rose, then turned to look at his own team.
"Let's kill 'em" Metal spoke as if he were talking about the weather…then his jet's blasted and he charged at Amy, planning on bring her down a peg. Amy saw this and summoned a second hammer, charging herself.
Wrath sighed, then his eyes gleamed in a somewhat crazy manner as he jumped forward, punching Big right in the gut, Big went flying and he ended up landing on his back. After twenty second he didn't get up.
"My work here is done." Wrath said calmly. Cream was slightly scared that Wrath had the power to beat Big with a single punch, but Cream wasn't focusing on that, no see was staring at Bokkun, you stared back. He didn't make a move to attack her, and she didn't try to attack him.
"Don't know if this is important or anything, but 'Team Sonic' is about to sneak attack,"
Cream blinked, that had been the same voice from before. Cream took a second and looked at Metal Sonic's fight with Amy, he had started using his Yellow Energy attack. Cream didn't know what this move was called, but she did know that it drained Metal's battery… then it happened.
Metal's Energy attack had caught up with him, and he collapsed to the floor. He was simply done, Amy summoned a new hammer, Big got up from his fake knock out, Knuckles jumped from the first floor to the ground floor and the three ganged up on Wrath. In a matter of minutes Wrath was on the floor, out of power.
Bokkun saw the current events and was going to run in and help his team mates, but then Sonic and Tails appeared out of nowhere, and grabbed Bokkun. Then Big, Knuckles and Amy joined in on the beating off Bokkun.
Only, unlike with Wrath and Metal, Bokkun screamed. It hurt Cream to hear it, but what could she do?
"This might not be the time, but just checked their minds, they are going to kill him."
Cream's eyes slightly watered, where was that voice coming from? If they were really going to destroy Bokkun…then it was up to her to stop it.
She rushed at the Team Sonic and the rest of Team Rose, flew up till she was above Bokkun and dropped. As she fell she grabbed onto the Emerald in her jacket pocket, hoping she could do this.
As she landed on him she yelled out, "Chaos Control!" And in a flash of red light, Cream and Bokkun were gone…
I feel that I should write something here... but I got nothing. Thanks for reading.
