Okay I'm getting tired of writing the same disclaimer so I won't write it
anymore. To read the disclaimer, go to the previous chapters.
Three Evils
Episode4
Cream without Cheese
The Three Evils have just finished fighting in the bloodiest battle they have ever been in. They traveled until they found a spa and got cleaned up. The wounds have been treated and their energy has been restored. Now they continue the journey to Eggman's base. Wherever it is . . .
Shadow: (to Rouge) You seem awfully happy today.
Rouge: Now I am. I'm glad to have my sparkly white fur back. ^_^
Bandit: I'm surprised they didn't charge us any money.
Rouge: Do you think someone could be watching us?
Shadow, Bandit, & Rouge:. . . Naaah!
Meanwhile, in a dark spiked dome someone uh. . . evilly evil looms in the darkness. The mustached man grins and chuckles.
Mustached man: (staring at a screen with Shadow, Bandit, & Rouge on it.) If only you knew.
A tall , thin silver robot walks up to his master.
Robot: Lord Eggman, there is an unidentified space pod plummeting toward the atmosphere. What do you wish to do with it sir?
Eggman: Blast it down E-265.
E-265: (salutes) Yessir.
The space pod keeps on falling and falling. It breaks through the planet's layer and falls from the blue sky. The Threesome spot it from up above.
Bandit: What is that?
The pod continues to fall near them when a missile charges into it. The pod drops in ruins severely damaged.
Shadow: Hello! Anybody in there?
A figure shoots out from the pod and lands on its feet.
Figure: I'm fine. No thanks to you!
The figure turns around to show its face.
Shadow, Bandit, & Rouge: CREAM!
Cream: I see you were trying to shoot me down huh?
Shadow: Uh. . . we weren't-
Cream: That's what I thought. I knew you'd be in denial.
Rouge lowers her eyebrows at Cream giving her an "I don't trust you" look.
Bandit: What's your problem.
Shadow: Yeah and where's Cheese?
Cream: You wanna know what my problem is!?
Shadow: Well. . . yeah. That's why we asked you in the first place.
Cream takes a deep breath.
Cream: I'll tell you my story. Wanna guess when it all started? Twenty years ago. When you three left us! I wasn't with the group at that time. I was home with my mommy helping her do chores like any kind and innocent 6 year old would do. (Note: Cream is twenty-six now. Just so you don't have to do the math yourself. . . yeah.) I heard screaming and my mom and I came rushing outside to see an army of robots marching toward the Green Forest. My mom tried to hold me back, but my curiosity got the best of me and I ran to the Green Forest forcing my mommy to go after me. We got there before the robots came because we took a shortcut. We met up with Sonic and he explained everything. He didn't turn his back though, because he had to keep his eyes on Eggman who was just smiling and sitting in his mech. I told Sonic that a giant army of Robots was marching toward this direction. Sonic responded by saying "DAMNIT, you've been planning this all along!" and Eggman just laughed and pointed to the horizon. Right on queue, the robot army appeared over the horizon. We all stared in fear at the number of them. Tails calculated that there was about over 200 robots. I was never so scared in my life. We fought the robots but we all grew tired, so we had to run and hide. We were in a war. Sonic suggested to put my mom and I in a pod Tails made, but Tails said he only made one pod and there was only room for one small person in it. So I had to leave my mommy and went in the pod. Cheese could fit too since he was a chao and he was small. We were launched into space and landed on Talon IV. We got out of the pod and looked around. I was supposed to get help from the inhabitants on the planet. We looked around and saw all sorts of creatures. Cheese and I were so scared. I cried so much because I missed my mom and my friends. I felt a little good to have my best friend, Cheese with me. We ran from all sorts of monsters and stuff. I got older and could only imagine what Earth looked like now. Cheese and I learned how to survive. One day, I was on my way to the Chozo temple when Chozo ghosts attacked us. One of the ghosts killed Cheese. I got away from them, but I was heartbroken. My best friend was gone and I couldn't do a single thing about it!
By this time, Cream was crying her eyes out. Shadow and Rouge were misty eyed and Bandit was trying to hide her feelings like she always did. Like Rouge and Shadow, she hasn't grown soft. Cream continued with her story.
Cream: I arrived at the Chozo temple and prayed. I prayed all day and night until light emerged from the center of the temple. I heard voices that told me to step into the light. I figured out that after three years of searching, I've finally found some help so I stepped into the light. I found help. I became stronger. Many years passed and I became a bounty hunter after I met someone named Samus who trained me. Now, seventeen more years later from where the incident began, my bounty hunting has brought me back to earth.
Shadow: When this Samus trained you, why didn't you get her to help you save earth?
Cream: By that time, it was to late. I could get no one on transmission. I went bounty hunting for two reasons. One, to get rid of bad guys and two, to hunt down the ones who caused this whole dilemma. They have become highly priced in the hunters market by just yesterday.
Rouge: (sparked interest) How much?
Cream: In earth dollars, 300,000 each.
Shadow: You'll need help in hunting down Eggman. We'll help you. We're after him too.
Cream: Who said I was after Eggman. . . (smirks)
Rouge: ! YOU! You're hunting us!
Bandit: Ggggrrrrrr.
Shadow: Why Cream?
Cream: (grabs Shadow by the neck. Bandit and Rouge tense up.) BECAUSE IF YOU THREE HAVEN'T DISSAPEARED IN THE FIRST PLACE, NONE OF US WOULD BE IN THIS MESS!!!! (throws Shadow down)
Bandit: It's Eggman's fault we're in this situation! DUMBASS!
Cream: He's not the one with the bounty is he?
Rouge: So this for the money!?
Cream: Not exactly. This is for revenge on EVERYTHING!
Cream charges at Rouge & Bandit. They jump out of the way. Shadow gets up on his feet and dusts himself off.
Rouge: YOU'RE MAD!
Cream: Sadly.
Rouge: (lowers eyebrows and grits her teeth) \_/
Bandit: We'll fight you!
Shadow: And win!
Cream: (smirks)
Rouge: NO! I'll fight the foolish brat!
Cream: You're the foolish one! Do you realize that you are fighting against a skilled bounty hunter!?
Rouge: Do you realize you are fighting a spy who has been a trained assassin!?
Cream: I'm not scared.
Rouge: Ditto. That makes two of us.
Cream: Before we start, I want to let you know that I will stop at nothing. The bounty says I can turn you in dead or alive. I have no choice but to kill you.
Rouge: When you were younger, you'd be slapped in the face if you said something like that. Looks like baby brat needs a punishment.
Cream: Bring it on, Bat-girl!
Rouge: It's already been brung-ed.
Cream and Rouge just stand there facing each other for a while not blinking not saying a word. A warm breeze blows on the desert sand as the sun dances in the sky. . .
Rouge and Cream immediately charge at each other clashing their hands together and pushing each other back. Surges of energy surround them.
Rouge: You're. . .stronger than I. . .expected.
Cream: I've been through a lot. . .lately.
Rouge: I see.
They both jump back and charge at each other again. This time engaging in a flurry of punches and kicks, dodges and blocks. Cream punches at Rouge who dives down and trips Cream with her foot. Cream falls and Rouge takes this opportunity to kick Cream in the face but Cream reaches down to the ground to stop herself from falling and flips over Rouge's head landing behind her and tripping her. Rouge falls but does the same move that Cream performed. They end up standing next to each other face to face.
Cream: Copy Bat.
Rouge: I do what I can.
They both laugh for a few seconds.
Bandit: Rouge has the weirdest fighting style ever.
Shadow: What? Taekwando?
Bandit: No. The make friends with your enemy thing.
Shadow: Don't worry about that. Rouge may have gotten soft in her personality but she is a tough as a fighter she ever was.
Bandit: T.T I think you know too much about each other.
The two fighters continue their battle. Cream jumps up to the air to jump kick Rouge but Rouge just backflips to avoid it. She counters with a power kick but misses and Cream grabs her leg and hurls her into the dirt.
Cream: Bad move!
Rouge: Yeah.
Rouge gets up and smiles as she kicks the ground causing rock and dirt to fly everywhere. Cream screams in agony as sand flies into her eyes. Rouge kicks Cream hard in her side. Next, Rouge gives Cream a good kick under her jaw. Cream flies upward and coughs up some blood before she lands on the ground. Rouge wants to have some fun, so she gets ready to scratch Creams face but Cream slowly opens one eye and grabs Rouge by the wrist and twists it while flipping Rouge over her. Cream gets up and wipes the sand from her eyes. Rouge cries in pain from her twisted wrist.
Rouge: AAArrrrrrrgggg!!! Blast it! My arm!
Cream: Mess with me and you'll get more than a broken wrist. I'm surprised you're not crying over the pain.
Rouge: (gets up holding her wrist in agony) I don't cry over broken bones. My pride won't allow it.
Cream: You're pride is about to be broken just like you're wrist.
Rouge: My wrist isn't really broken. . .(turns her wrist around and snaps it back in place) just dislocated.
Cream: You got lucky.
Rouge: It doesn't happen often. Let's make this a little more exciting. I bet you can't hit me even with my eyes closed.
Cream: That's stupid! Alright!
Rouge closes her eyes.
Bandit: What does she think she's doing!?!?!
Shadow: Come on Rouge, quit playing and fight for real.
Cream: (cracks her knuckles) This is easy.
Cream runs up to Rouge and is about to punch but Rouge kicks Cream in the stomach.
Cream: You think this is funny huh?
Rouge: (smirks)
Cream jumps kicks but Rouge steps out of the way. When Cream lands, Rouge kicks the back of Cream's head.
Cream: Why you!!!!
Cream takes a medium sized rock and hurls it at Rouge. Rouge blocks with her right arm. Her arm gets cut up and the rock falls back into the sand when Rouge kicks it at Cream hitting her chest. (Ow! That's gotta hurt.)
Cream: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
Rouge: XD AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAAAAA! HA HA HA HA! OH! YOU'RE KILLING ME! HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAA! How did- heh heh. How did it feel. HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Cream: ::\_/:: How would you like it if you got hit there!?!?
Rouge: I'm wearing armor. ^v^
Cream runs up to punch Rouge while Rouge just dodges all of Creams punches.
Bandit: Poor Cream. Shadow, what are you looking at?
Shadow: Does it really hurt when you get hit there?
POW! Bandit punches Shadow on the head.
Shadow: x-x I just wanted to know. . .
Rouge continues to dodge all of Creams attacks. Cream is getting tired so she stops trying to hit Rouge. Cream gets an idea. She picks up a rock and throws at the ground so that it makes a sound. Just as she thought, Rouge kicks in that direction. Cream ran up and kicked Rouge super hard causing Rouge to fly back and fall against the sandy ground. Rouge opens her eyes to see Cream nail her in the face with another hard kick. Cream grabs Rouge By her ears and holds her up to her face.
Cream: No more games. (punches Rouge in the face)
Rouge is struggling to get free. The pain is driving her crazy. Rouge tries to kick to Cream blocks them with her other hand. She feels like her head is splitting so she has no choice. Since bats have long tongues, Rouge licks Cream's arm.
Cream: Eeeeeewwww! (drops Rouge)
Rouge: (Is on her knees spitting on the ground) Yuk! Arg! Nasty!
Cream and Rouge stand face to face once again.
Cream: You're a dirty fighter.
Rouge: You are too.
They both wipe the blood from their faces.
Rouge: I didn't think you'd trick me. I guess some rabbits aren't silly. 'Stupid Trix rabbit.'
Cream: I think we should take this fight up a step further. (pushes a button on her watch. Yes she is wearing a watch because I say so! As soon as that button is pressed, armor surrounds Cream.) I'd like to introduce you to my Power Suit. It enhances my power, speed, and so on.
Rouge: The only thing you've succeeded in doing was hiding your face behind a metallic mask along with the rest of your body. (spits some blood) You're only making yourself look tough and hiding yourself inside a hard shell. WHAT A COWAR-
Cream tackles Rouge before she could say anymore. Rouge is trying to hold Cream back but Cream is still running and pushing her back. Rouge can feel herself sinking in the ground. Cream approaches a boulder and slams right through it emerging unharmed. Rouge however, is covered in bloody scrapes.
Rouge: NNnnggg!
Rouge collapses to the ground just as Cream stops running.
Cream: I told you not to underestimate my superior power!
Shadow: She looks hurt!
Bandit: She's not done yet.
Rouge slowly gets back up and shoots up into the sky.
Cream: NOW WHO'S THE COWARD?!?!
Rouge: 'How can I get past those defenses? I gotta think of something quick. I'll just rest up here. I doubt she could fly. . .'
As soon as Rouge thinks that she's safe, Cream shoots up like a rocket.
Rouge: 'A BUILT IN ROCKET SYSTEM!?!'
Cream reaches up to Rouge who flies back a bit to get away from Cream.
Rouge: 'C'mon Rouge, THINK! I think I'm gonna need a REALLY big nut cracker.'
Cream: What's the matter? Have I scared the poor Bat so much that she can't even speak of my brilliant power?
Rouge: UPSHUT! WHORE!! \_/
Cream: Make me.
Cream left jabs at Rouge but Rouge bends back. Cream kicks Rouge up before she could recover but Rouge quickly spreads out her wings to stop her from moving up. Cream flies up to her again but Rouge continues to dodge.
Cream: Hmmm. . .so you like to dodge huh? Well, (her right arm becomes an arm cannon) try to dodge this!
Cream starts to fire many rapid power shots causing Rouge to dodge them all. Rouge is getting tired so Cream shoots a mixture of regular power shots and slightly charged power shots.
Rouge: 'You have to think of something! You can't just dodge forever!'
Shadow: C'mon. . .
Bandit: She's gonna get hit.
Cream: HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAA!!!! DIE ALREADY!
Rouge: I'm not ready yet. Time to fight fire with fire. (dodges and fires blackwaves at Cream.)
They both fire with all the power in their tiny furry bodies causing a huge explosion between them. Smoke flies everywhere as Rouge looks on seeing what is left of her opponent. Suddenly, some sort of strange blue light shoots out from the bellowing smoke and wraps around the white bat.
Rouge: Auught. What the-?!?!?!
Shadow: What is that?
Bandit: . . .
Cream: Like my grappling hook?
Rouge, Shadow, & Bandit: O.O
The bat struggles to get free from the grappling hook coming from Cream's suit's left elbow. Cream grins and pulls at the hook making it tighter on Rouge.
Rouge: Sh. . .shoot. . .
Shadow: She's in trouble! We have to help her Bandit!
Bandit: Help her yourself.
Shadow: I CAN"T FLY!!!!!
Rouge is heard screaming in agony. She is loosing all feeling in her body.
Rouge: (thinking) This is the end isn't it?
She is about to give up all hopes of winning until she remembers Knuckles.
Knuckles's voice: You can do it.
Strength has been renewed in the female bat and she musters up all her determination and will power as she once again struggles to free herself. She tries to raise all of her power, as much as she possibly can.
Cream: You fool. You can't escape. (pulls harder and tightens the grappling hook but instead of it tightening it just stays where it was.)
Rouge: (yelling at the top of her lungs)
Energy surrounds the bat-girl and finally the grappling hook disintegrates leaving a physically exhausted but emotionally determined Rouge the Bat flapping her wings in the sky.
Shadow: AMAZING!!!
Bandit: ...
Cream: How did you do that?! It's supposed to be impossible to escape from that! No one has yet survived from that move before!
Rouge: Looks like there's a first time for everything. Black Wave! (cream dodges)
Cream: If you think you are about to win, think again!
::Godsmack- Awake::
Wait another minute
Can't you see what this pain has f***ing done to me
I'm alive and still kickin'
What you see I can't see and maybe
you'll think before you speak
Rouge: No where to go! (flies up to Cream and punches her stomach)
I'm alive for you
I'm awake because of you
I'm alive I told you
I'm awake swallowing you
Cream is getting barraged by a flurry of Rouge's attacks.
Shadow: ...NOW!!!
Rouge: (powers up) BLACK WAVE!!!
Take another second
Turn your back on me and make believe that you're always happy
I'm safe to say you're never alive
A big part of you has died
and by the way,
I hope you're satisfied
Cream gets hit by this attack and starts falling to the ground but before she can calculate exactly what has happened, Rouge rams into her with a flying kick cracking her armor. Cream falls even faster as Rouge pulls away.
I'm alive for you
I'm awake because of you
I'm alive I told you
I'm awake swallowing you
Cream makes impact with the hard surface of Earth and Rouge executes her drill drive attack hitting the ground and lastly performing her hip drop causing a super earthquake causing the ground underneath them both to shatter. The rocks bury Cream and stay up to Rouge's waist.
I'm alive for you
I'm awake because of you
I'm alive I told you
I'm awake swallowing you
The battle is finished
Shadow: (runs up to an aching Rouge and pulls her out of the ground) You did it! You really did it! Are you okay?
Rouge: (eye twitches) Anything But...Maybe I should have not been playing with her this whole time.
Shadow: YOU WERE ONLY FOOLING AROUND WITH YOUR POWERS!!!??
Rouge: Pssht! Hell yeah!
Bandit: Why didn't you use your full power, well, if you're not bluffing of course.
Rouge: I never bluff. Anyway, if I used my full power, I would over totally drained. Can't have that can we?
Shadow: So what about your wounds?
Rouge: Only minor scratches.
Bandit and Shadow look at Rouge's bloody form.
Bandit: Minor scratches? I wonder what severe wounds look like in your case and I still think you're bluffing.
Rouge: (starts digging through the rubble) Believe what you want to believe. I don't talk bullshit.
Shadow: What are you doing?
Rouge: Digging out Cream.
Bandit&Shadow: O_O
Cream: (being pulled out) Why?
Rouge: (smirks) Because I can.
Cream pushes the button on her watch and the armor disappears.
Rouge: Now do you know who to trust?
Cream: No...
Shadow&Bandit: -_-u
Cream: ...Now I REALLY know who to trust...I'm sorry for not seeing it from before. I should be fighting against Eggman.
Shadow: How about you join our team.
Cream: (looks at the sky) Maybe some other day...I have to open my eyes and further clear my mind. I must repair my thoughts and maybe even train some more...
Rouge, Shadow,&Bandit: (arch their eyebrows)
Cream: What I'm saying is, I need to go on my own journey for a while.
Shadow: (nods head) We understand. Be careful on your journey.
Cream: I will. Rouge, I'm asking for a rematch someday later.
Rouge: (laughes) Don't count your luck.
Cream says goodbye to her friends and walkes off in search for her own adventures. Meanwhile Rouge is getting bandaged up by Shadow and Bandit watches on.
Bandit: Y'know Rouge, you sure are a magnet for rivals.
Rouge: (vain pop) And what does that mean!
Bandit: It means that you have more enemies than friends you freak!!
Rouge: Oh yeah!!!
Bandit: YEAH!!
Shadow: -.-u Why me?
I know it took long but I haven't been getting any reviews so I started loosing motivation for writing this story. I will continue with it though but if this continues it would probably be a slow process. I have already been working on another story but that one is a Teen Titans fanfiction called SCHOOL WOES! It's actually really good (compared to this story I guess)! Last time I checked, I got about a bit more than 100 reviews and I finished writing the fifth chapter. So if you're into Teen Titans, go check it out! Thank You!

Rouge: XD AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAAAAA! HA HA HA HA! OH! YOU'RE KILLING ME! HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAA! How did- heh heh. How did it feel. HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Cream: ::\_/:: How would you like it if you got hit there!?!?
Rouge: I'm wearing armor. ^v^
Cream runs up to punch Rouge while Rouge just dodges all of Creams punches.
Bandit: Poor Cream. Shadow, what are you looking at?
Shadow: Does it really hurt when you get hit there?
POW! Bandit punches Shadow on the head.
Shadow: x-x I just wanted to know. . .
Rouge continues to dodge all of Creams attacks. Cream is getting tired so she stops trying to hit Rouge. Cream gets an idea. She picks up a rock and throws at the ground so that it makes a sound. Just as she thought, Rouge kicks in that direction. Cream ran up and kicked Rouge super hard causing Rouge to fly back and fall against the sandy ground. Rouge opens her eyes to see Cream nail her in the face with another hard kick. Cream grabs Rouge By her ears and holds her up to her face.
Cream: No more games. (punches Rouge in the face)
Rouge is struggling to get free. The pain is driving her crazy. Rouge tries to kick to Cream blocks them with her other hand. She feels like her head is splitting so she has no choice. Since bats have long tongues, Rouge licks Cream's arm.
Cream: Eeeeeewwww! (drops Rouge)
Rouge: (Is on her knees spitting on the ground) Yuk! Arg! Nasty!
Cream and Rouge stand face to face once again.
Cream: You're a dirty fighter.
Rouge: You are too.
They both wipe the blood from their faces.
Rouge: I didn't think you'd trick me. I guess some rabbits aren't silly. 'Stupid Trix rabbit.'
Cream: I think we should take this fight up a step further. (pushes a button on her watch. Yes she is wearing a watch because I say so! As soon as that button is pressed, armor surrounds Cream.) I'd like to introduce you to my Power Suit. It enhances my power, speed, and so on.
Rouge: The only thing you've succeeded in doing was hiding your face behind a metallic mask along with the rest of your body. (spits some blood) You're only making yourself look tough and hiding yourself inside a hard shell. WHAT A COWAR-
Cream tackles Rouge before she could say anymore. Rouge is trying to hold Cream back but Cream is still running and pushing her back. Rouge can feel herself sinking in the ground. Cream approaches a boulder and slams right through it emerging unharmed. Rouge however, is covered in bloody scrapes.
Rouge: NNnnggg!
Rouge collapses to the ground just as Cream stops running.
Cream: I told you not to underestimate my superior power!
Shadow: She looks hurt!
Bandit: She's not done yet.
Rouge slowly gets back up and shoots up into the sky.
Cream: NOW WHO'S THE COWARD?!?!
Rouge: 'How can I get past those defenses? I gotta think of something quick. I'll just rest up here. I doubt she could fly. . .'
As soon as Rouge thinks that she's safe, Cream shoots up like a rocket.
Rouge: 'A BUILT IN ROCKET SYSTEM!?!'
Cream reaches up to Rouge who flies back a bit to get away from Cream.
Rouge: 'C'mon Rouge, THINK! I think I'm gonna need a REALLY big nut cracker.'
Cream: What's the matter? Have I scared the poor Bat so much that she can't even speak of my brilliant power?
Rouge: UPSHUT! WHORE!! \_/
Cream: Make me.
Cream left jabs at Rouge but Rouge bends back. Cream kicks Rouge up before she could recover but Rouge quickly spreads out her wings to stop her from moving up. Cream flies up to her again but Rouge continues to dodge.
Cream: Hmmm. . .so you like to dodge huh? Well, (her right arm becomes an arm cannon) try to dodge this!
Cream starts to fire many rapid power shots causing Rouge to dodge them all. Rouge is getting tired so Cream shoots a mixture of regular power shots and slightly charged power shots.
Rouge: 'You have to think of something! You can't just dodge forever!'
Shadow: C'mon. . .
Bandit: She's gonna get hit.
Cream: HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAA!!!! DIE ALREADY!
Rouge: I'm not ready yet. Time to fight fire with fire. (dodges and fires blackwaves at Cream.)
They both fire with all the power in their tiny furry bodies causing a huge explosion between them. Smoke flies everywhere as Rouge looks on seeing what is left of her opponent. Suddenly, some sort of strange blue light shoots out from the bellowing smoke and wraps around the white bat.
Rouge: Auught. What the-?!?!?!
Shadow: What is that?
Bandit: . . .
Cream: Like my grappling hook?
Rouge, Shadow, & Bandit: O.O
The bat struggles to get free from the grappling hook coming from Cream's suit's left elbow. Cream grins and pulls at the hook making it tighter on Rouge.
Rouge: Sh. . .shoot. . .
Shadow: She's in trouble! We have to help her Bandit!
Bandit: Help her yourself.
Shadow: I CAN"T FLY!!!!!
Rouge is heard screaming in agony. She is loosing all feeling in her body.
Rouge: (thinking) This is the end isn't it?
She is about to give up all hopes of winning until she remembers Knuckles.
Knuckles's voice: You can do it.
Strength has been renewed in the female bat and she musters up all her determination and will power as she once again struggles to free herself. She tries to raise all of her power, as much as she possibly can.
Cream: You fool. You can't escape. (pulls harder and tightens the grappling hook but instead of it tightening it just stays where it was.)
Rouge: (yelling at the top of her lungs)
Energy surrounds the bat-girl and finally the grappling hook disintegrates leaving a physically exhausted but emotionally determined Rouge the Bat flapping her wings in the sky.
Shadow: AMAZING!!!
Bandit: ...
Cream: How did you do that?! It's supposed to be impossible to escape from that! No one has yet survived from that move before!
Rouge: Looks like there's a first time for everything. Black Wave! (cream dodges)
Cream: If you think you are about to win, think again!
::Godsmack- Awake::
Wait another minute
Can't you see what this pain has f***ing done to me
I'm alive and still kickin'
What you see I can't see and maybe
you'll think before you speak
Rouge: No where to go! (flies up to Cream and punches her stomach)
I'm alive for you
I'm awake because of you
I'm alive I told you
I'm awake swallowing you
Cream is getting barraged by a flurry of Rouge's attacks.
Shadow: ...NOW!!!
Rouge: (powers up) BLACK WAVE!!!
Take another second
Turn your back on me and make believe that you're always happy
I'm safe to say you're never alive
A big part of you has died
and by the way,
I hope you're satisfied
Cream gets hit by this attack and starts falling to the ground but before she can calculate exactly what has happened, Rouge rams into her with a flying kick cracking her armor. Cream falls even faster as Rouge pulls away.
I'm alive for you
I'm awake because of you
I'm alive I told you
I'm awake swallowing you
Cream makes impact with the hard surface of Earth and Rouge executes her drill drive attack hitting the ground and lastly performing her hip drop causing a super earthquake causing the ground underneath them both to shatter. The rocks bury Cream and stay up to Rouge's waist.
I'm alive for you
I'm awake because of you
I'm alive I told you
I'm awake swallowing you
The battle is finished
Shadow: (runs up to an aching Rouge and pulls her out of the ground) You did it! You really did it! Are you okay?
Rouge: (eye twitches) Anything But...Maybe I should have not been playing with her this whole time.
Shadow: YOU WERE ONLY FOOLING AROUND WITH YOUR POWERS!!!??
Rouge: Pssht! Hell yeah!
Bandit: Why didn't you use your full power, well, if you're not bluffing of course.
Rouge: I never bluff. Anyway, if I used my full power, I would over totally drained. Can't have that can we?
Shadow: So what about your wounds?
Rouge: Only minor scratches.
Bandit and Shadow look at Rouge's bloody form.
Bandit: Minor scratches? I wonder what severe wounds look like in your case and I still think you're bluffing.
Rouge: (starts digging through the rubble) Believe what you want to believe. I don't talk bullshit.
Shadow: What are you doing?
Rouge: Digging out Cream.
Bandit&Shadow: O_O
Cream: (being pulled out) Why?
Rouge: (smirks) Because I can.
Cream pushes the button on her watch and the armor disappears.
Rouge: Now do you know who to trust?
Cream: No...
Shadow&Bandit: -_-u
Cream: ...Now I REALLY know who to trust...I'm sorry for not seeing it from before. I should be fighting against Eggman.
Shadow: How about you join our team.
Cream: (looks at the sky) Maybe some other day...I have to open my eyes and further clear my mind. I must repair my thoughts and maybe even train some more...
Rouge, Shadow,&Bandit: (arch their eyebrows)
Cream: What I'm saying is, I need to go on my own journey for a while.
Shadow: (nods head) We understand. Be careful on your journey.
Cream: I will. Rouge, I'm asking for a rematch someday later.
Rouge: (laughes) Don't count your luck.
Cream says goodbye to her friends and walkes off in search for her own adventures. Meanwhile Rouge is getting bandaged up by Shadow and Bandit watches on.
Bandit: Y'know Rouge, you sure are a magnet for rivals.
Rouge: (vain pop) And what does that mean!
Bandit: It means that you have more enemies than friends you freak!!
Rouge: Oh yeah!!!
Bandit: YEAH!!
Shadow: -.-u Why me?
I know it took long but I haven't been getting any reviews so I started loosing motivation for writing this story. I will continue with it though but if this continues it would probably be a slow process. I have already been working on another story but that one is a Teen Titans fanfiction called SCHOOL WOES! It's actually really good (compared to this story I guess)! Last time I checked, I got about a bit more than 100 reviews and I finished writing the fifth chapter. So if you're into Teen Titans, go check it out! Thank You!
