"Cream's Mansion: A 'Gotta Go Fast' and 'Sonic Eminent' Tale"

[Story Begin]

Cream the Rabbit… A name that rings many bells within the gaming industry if you know her only by the game she was from and the anime called Sonic X. But believe me when I say that even next to Cosmo the Seedrian, or her Gameboy Advance Counterpart Friends, she is memorable to all as a type of warrior who fights for what she loves. And NO, not only for Sonic, like Amy, but also for everyONE of her friends, like Tails the Fox, Knuckles the Echidna, Mario the Plumber, and yes, even Bowser Junior the Koopa Kid Jerk.

BUT! I want to ask you this one question. "Does the name 'Cream the Rabbit' and the word, 'fearless', sit well in the 'vocabularium stomach' within your brain and does it stir well together, or does it not compute?"

If you already know, keep it a secret within the community, please. But if you don't, then here's another tale for you to witness whenever someone DARES to call Cream a weak addition to the Sonic Franchise ever again.

But before it all begins, here's how the mechanics work before we head into a whole new Mario and Luigi Game:

In this game, the third partner can be swapped out with any Sonic Character, for that is the Sonic Character Spot, kind of like Paper Mario in Paper Jam, however, each character has his or her own unique perks as a battle partner to Mario and Luigi. For example, Omega, Knuckles, Vector and Amy will deal extra damage to foes as well as using "Bros Team Attacks" that do even more damage. Charmie and Rouge are basically another battle brother/sister to Mario and Luigi, but are perfect all rounders. Shadow, Sonic, Espio and Cosmo are all All Rounders in their own uniqie ways. What was Cream? A RARE Healer!

And you can Obtain Cream by retrieving her kite a fellow pal named "Banjo the Chicken" gave her before leaving to perform at Hoo Haa Mansion, over at the Pizzazzaland Kingdom.

What Cream can do at early levels is heal the Bros while she can deal light damage to the foes, but also can inflict a status call "Sympathy" that lowers the foe's Attack and Defense, as well as Lowering the Speed Stage by 2, making Mario and Luigi attack Twice. EACH. With Cream moving only once before the Foe attacks again. How you may ask? "Rabbit Tears", a 10 BP Star Attack that does all that!

Of course, even with all that, what mechanics are introduced are like that in Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door and Sonic put together. You see, because Sonic doesn't leave the team BUT has different interactions for each different Anthromorph in the team.

Anyways…

Back to the story…

Back to the Hoo Haa Mansion, the Mario and Luigi Crew have made it to the Mansion for a long awaited visit. Who knows what the mission was for, because I never written this far. But it was a concept for a Mario and Sonic crossover in an Alphadream Game. Maybe the Luna Emeralds? Or the Gems of Hope?... … … Yes. The Gems of Hope.

So far, Mario and Luigi gathered the Hope Diamond, the Courage Topaz, the Chaos Emerald, and the Peaceful Amethyst. And so far they need three more before they can grant a wish to bring the Chaos Emeralds back into this world.

Starlow came out examined the Mansion. "Well… It looks quite the charmer, doesn't it?"

"Doesn't look to bad in there… Do you think we can affoed it?" Asked Sonic. "Normally I'm not too keen on Mansions and Hotels, but I heard that this Mansion also acts to hotels to some guests, any pickups in that theme Starly?"

"The NAME IS STARLOW!" Starlow fumed at Sonic.

"Please don't yell at Mr. Sonic, please…" Cream covered her ears and shut her eyes, shivering from the shouts fcoming from the Star Fairy.

Luigi spoke up.

"Don't tell ME to calm down, Luigi!" Starlow barked at Luigi.

"Geez, Star, it's just a nickname to call you by. I don't see the harm in it…" Said Sonic, picking his ears after the harsh scolding from Starlow.

"Well… I admit it's not bad being called a nickname from time to time…" Starlow sheepishly chuckled.

"That's the spirit!" Said Cream with a cheer.

"But the next time you call me ANY nickname, don't be lazy!" Starlow warned Sonic.

"Anytime, Starshine of my heart!" Said Sonic.

"..."

Starlow suddenly turned Red.

"Are… Are you mad?" Asked Cream.

"Did… Did you just…" Starlow turned around to the screen, showing she was blushing like crazy as she flew into Luigi's hat and took off with it into the air, covering her fa e. "Now I look embarrassing…"

"Well, you did say Don't Be Lazy, in your exact words…" Sonic shrugged with a smug smile.

"YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO GO OVERBOARD WITH IT!!!" Starlow screamed with a high girl shriek of embarrassment with Luigi fetching his hat.

"Well, there's two options: One, I go easy on the nicknames… Or two, I go overboard and make that pretty cute little face into a big cherry for someone to put it in their pie!" Sonic teased.

Mario spoke.

"Meh, you're right, Mario." Sonic shrugged once more. "We gotta focus on the Mission to get that Wisdom Opal."

Mario nods.

Luigi spoke, wobbly.

"Oh, and we're gonna need a coolant for Luigi's hat. Cuz the Sugar Fairy had melted it…" Sonic teased once more.

"SONIC!!!" Starlow shrieked.

Cream giggled. "Hee hee! Awwwww…"

Starlow calmed down. "But anyways, we have to get back into the mission! Luigi, knock on the door!"

Luigi nods as he knocks on the door.

Sonic taps his foot, checks his imaginary watch and looks around as Mario scouts the area as he moves his head.

Cream was getting uncomfortable.

"..."

"BOOM SHAKALAKA!!" A Goldie had appeared from the door and surprised the group, and didn't know thay he sandwiched Luigi between the door wedge and the wall in the mini hall. "We got more members waiting to join the party!"

"A… party…?" Asked Cream.

"Why not celebrate the day of the Cheddar Moon with a Monster Mash? That's what we usually do in this mansion!" The Goldie Spoke.

Mario spoke.

"Cheddar Moon? Oh, you don't know? The moon in Pizzazzaland is LITERALLY made out Self-Regenerating Cheese! And the time that it turns Orange is on the night of Halloween! Tonight, before the Sun comes up, I will have my Orange Cheddar Popcorn for the Movie for this Christmas!"

"..."

"How will you have fresh Cheese Popcorn for Christmas when the entire thing is in outerspace?" Asked Starlow.

"They say that the Cheddar Moon already comes with bacteria that gives the Orange Color a distinct flavor that is literally out of this world!" Omochaoappeared out of Sonjc's inventory.

"Cheese that's litrrally OUT OF THIS WORLD! I like that!" Sonic replied with a smile, which turned into confusion. "But how will you get cheese from all the way up there?"

"It's easy! I have people from Hoo Hoo University to come over and build me a rocket to fly all the way up there for this Halloween!" Said the Goldie. "I also got a Micro-Porter to carry large amounts of inventory in my suitcase! And for now, I must keep an eye on something that someone entrusted me with for this study of Geology for some apparent reason…"

"Geology is a study of rocks!" Omochaospoke as everyone got insie the Mansion.

"No need for the Pokémon Styled Facts, Omachao…" Sonic sighed.

"Well, what kind of rocks do you have?" Asked Cream.

"Well, I'm not that interested in it, it looks like a Crystal Ball, and I don't even know if it's fake…" The Goldie pulled out a Glass Case holding the Wisdom Opal, making the Mario crew surprised. "Though it makes a nice lava lamp replacement at the side of my bed… But other than that, I don't find anything to be a use for."

"Th - that's the Wisdom Opal!" Cream spoke in shock.

"Say what now?" Asked the Goldie.

"That's the Wisdom Opal." Said Sonic. "Hey pal, mind if we can get it?"

"Wisdom Opal?" Asked the Goldie. "Well, it has the word 'wisdom' in it, I can see why it looks so gorgeous… But hey, it's not my rock and it's my responsibility to keep looking after it for this person…"

Mario and Luigi looked at each other before speaking at the Goldie.

"What? What does it take to get it?" Asked the Goldie. "Well… All I want is the Moon Cheese, and that's it. At least a Bucket Full of it, though… But I am simply just an old goldie… I'm surprised I don't look old despute the fact that I have been around this kingdom for a dozen decades…"

"Fun fact; Goldies can live up to Twenty Decades long if properly held well with a proper diet and good workouts eith their body to maintaim their bendable suits that are made out of leather and gold dust!" Omochaospoke out.

"Why am I stuck with this thing?!" Sonic growled.

"So what now?" Asked the Goldie. "Are you going to get me my cheese for this Gemstone?"

"Well, we have to, right Mr. Sonic?" Asked Cream.

"Something fishy is going on…" Said Starlow. "But I suspect nothing from this old man since he looked like the rest of the Goldies we saw before in this kingdom… But what should we do?"

After thinking long and hard with two options, and an extra one for good measures, the group decided to save the game.

The game spoke up when they clicked on "Do It"!

"Warning! You are about to witness the hardest part of the game! Maybe prepare yourself with some items or switch your Party Character, right? Or are you okay like this?"

The group clicked on this.

"Hang on there, [little girl]!" The Goldie spoke out. "Why not stay here while the big boys are going to get the cheese bucket for me in the hall?"

"Huh?" Cream looked at the Goldie.

"Fine." Said Sonic. "Starlow, Omachao, look after [Cream] for me, okay? Make sure [she doesn't end up alone.]"

"There you go, [young lady, why don't you have a seat over by the luxurious couch?" Asked the Goldie.

Cream did as she was told as the rest of the heroes went into the door to the hallway and-

SLURP!!

The Hallway Door gobbled them up!

Cream and Starlow were shocked!

The Goldie cackled. "Har Har Har! Can't believe me own trick worked well!"

The Goldie removed what seems to be Kamek's Disguise Spell and revealed himself to be one of the Soulless Pirates! Linkless, to be precise!

"Linkless!!" Cream spoke.

"Har har har! Now that we got Mario, Green Stache and that Hedgehog in the slammer of this Nasty Mansion, we can take the Wisdom Opal and all of the Gems for ourselves!" Linkless took the Wisdom Opal as Cream shivered.

"Hey! You can't do that!" Starlow yelled at Linkless. "You cold hearted scoundrel! Let them go this instant!"

"Oh, what do we have here?! The Gold Orb with a mouth?! Find me gold with an inky mouth! Nasty!" Linkless spoke in Pirate Riddle.

"Don't make us fight you!" Starlow spoke up.

"You and what army?" Asked Linkless.

Cream was shivering, like Luigi, until she got up and shivered some more.

"[Is that girl okay?]" Asked Linkless.

"You… … …" Said Cream with a shadow over her eyes, and roared out in anger. "YOU TOOK MY FRIENDS!! AND NOW I'M TAKING THE WISDOM OPAL FROM YOU AND GETTING MY FRIENDS BACK!!"

"[Sheesh… Me think the kiddo's got enough to buy her own ship…]" Linkless spoke. "Regardless, show me what you got, me [young lassie]!"

Cream charged at Linkless.

In the battle, Cream had to use her won attacks that also helped when Starlow poured Stardust all over her and helped her master the 4 buttons on the right, and the joystick to her left. Basically, she's now Dreamworld Mario, JACKED!!

You see, because of her rage, her Attack Stats fully leveled up, but it's still not max, meaning she can go 60 Times Powerful. Her defense is not that good, but because of that, she always strikes first, twice! NO! THRICE!! Even when Linkless had Speed Boosts!

Linkless wasn't able to put down Cream at all. Even worse for Linkless? Cream is a FLYER, meaning she can jump in the air like Paper Mario, TWICE!! And she had the same stamina as Tails, so she was up in the air when Linkless attacked with Shake Quake or Dark Tsunami, unable to reach her!

Eventually, on turn 20, Cream had defeated Linkless.

Linkless was tossed back from the fight with Cream.

"Atta [girl]!" Starlow cheered as Cream huffed from the fight.

Linkless looked over at Cream as he tried to escape through the door that swallowed Mario, Luigi and Sonic, but that was when Cream activated the Key Item; Snag Bag as she stole back the Wisdom Opal, right when the door swallowed Linkless.

"NOOOOO!!!" Linkless tried reaching for Cream as the Door began eating itself as it rolled into a roll, like a rug and spun itself until there was nothing left of itself.

Cream looked at Starlow and nodded.

"You did it, Cream!" Starlow smiled. "Excellent Job!"

Cream frowned at the door shards that appeared when the door ate itself. And then a passageway opened up right behind the door.

Omochaoscanned the door shards and entered the Monsterpedia of Pizzazzaland Kingdom.

"Doomor, the Door Trap Monster. This monster swallows fighters in battle and instantly locks them out of battle until all the heroes are swallowed, and then they appear right at the beginning of the zone! They tend to be the traps in front of some passageways. They also start battle attacks by flicking their spiky tongues at the fighter and reel them in!"

Cream looked at Omochao and looked over at the passageway.

"Any way to save my friends…" Cream took a deep breath as she remembered all the friends she lost because she couldn't be there for them. One example was Fifi the Skunk, who got captured by Eggman and was turned into Stinkbot.

She snapped back into reality with tears in her brave eyes. "This one's for you, Fifi… Come on, Starlow! Omochao!"

Cream advanced through the hardest dungeon done by one little character alone. She trekked through the darkness inside of this elusive mansion through the many traps done by Chestlor, Doomor, and a few Badniks and Bowser Minions.

Sometimes trekking through the dungeon was not easy to the point where the Doomors set her back to the beginning twice, until she learned the trick to jump on the door to trigger the battle, in which she would win! Through 5 floors, she finally made it to Mario, Luigi and Sonic.

Mario, Luigi and Sonic were unconscious, with their minds suffering through the clouds of nightmares.

Cream took a deep breath and yelled, "WAKE UP!!!"

As Mario, Luigi and Sonic were fighting their nightmares until the Wisdom Opal shined through Cream's inventory and it purified the minds of the crew to punch through the darkness.

The three in the dungeon woke up and snapped out of the nightmares.

"Cream!!" Sonic shouted as he got out.

"Mr. Sonic!!" Cream ran up to Sonic and hugged him like a niece and uncle. "I'm so glad you're okay!"

"Wait a minute! How did you get all the way over here?!" Asked Sonic. "And if I recall, the Wisdom Opal has the strength to purify minds from darkness…"

"Well, I fought Linkless for it…" Cream replied.

Sonic paused and hugged Cream so tight with Mario and Luigi joining in the group hug with Luigi crying tears of joy.

"Please don't leave me…" said Cream with tears in her eyes. "I don't want to lose you like I did with Fifi…"

Sonic was holding back tears (as he's not allowed to cry), but listening to how a child could save him and save her from the darkness conjured by Eggman and only to be saved by someone he was supposed to save…

Mario pats Sonic's back as if trying to protect him to abide by that cruel law. But of course, this can't be helped. Nevertheless, Sonic didn't cry or shed a tear, but he did sniffle a bit.

"I'm so glad you're safe, Cream…" Sonic replied, hugging the cute rabbit girl tightly.

"Mister Sonic… It's getting crowded here…" Cream replied.

All three men let go of Cream as they resumed their mission.

After leaving the Mansion with the Wisdom Opal, Mario and Luigi hammered a sign that said "Condemned" on it.

"That oughta do it!" Said Starlow.

Mario nods as the four resume their mission.

[After the whole Game]

Cream came back after they crushed the Mansion to pieces and after Cosmo Eminent purified the place so no more haunted stuff came out.

She used some of the collected money at the final battle as she used it to replace the mansion. As she did, she decorated it into a palace of pink. Inside, she had paintings of Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Toad and the Sonic Crew, each one holding a weapon. The final art was when somebody painted Mario, Luigi and Sonic hugging Cream, like Family. (And they did not forget about Starlow and Omochao.)

Cream smiled as she didn't have to pay rent for saving the Kingdom, so much that she was granted the Royal Princess Knight of Pizzazzaland.

"I'm happy I chose to be brave…" Cream smiled as she yawned.

She looked outside and the Stars illuminated through the night, as Cream turned off the lights and slept in her warm Queen Sized Bed, with Cheese the Chao and plushies of the Trio, happily united as one.
