Chapter Nineteen: We're Not Afraid
The women have watched on towards the fight for a while, and they were all terrified. All the four guys were being beaten into a pulp. And this felt like there was nothing the women could do about this.
"Oh no! They are losing!" Amy whimpered.
"We are all doomed! There is no way we can win now!" Rouge shrieked in fear.
Cream has tears in her eyes, but she turned from being scared to a serious frown. She stood up, and wiped the tears from her eyes.
"I am done crying! I am not a weak little girl no more! My hope towards Tails is the only thing that keeps me going!" Cream stated, as she stood up.
Amy and Rouge were very curious about what this was all about, and look at Cream.
.
(Cream singing)
I know I was broken down, and I've hit the ground
I was crying out, nor could make a sound
Nobody hears my silent tears collecting
I know I had lost hope, I was all alone
Never been too long till you came along
Chaos, I've felt the dots connecting
.
Cream then made her way towards the bars, and looks at the Chaos Emeralds, and the Master Emerald. Amy and Rouge were still concerned about what was going on here.
.
(Cream singing)
Beat down on me, beats down like the waterfall
Because I could take on so much more than I have ever dreamed
Now beat down on me, beat down like the waterfall
Because baby, I'm now ready to be free
.
Suddenly a faint white aura began to glow on the Emeralds. Amy and Rouge were shocked when they saw this. Cream continued to give a serious frown, as he looks on towards Infinite.
.
(Cream singing)
Now I am invincible
No, I'm not a scared little girl no more
Yeah, I am invincible
What was I running for?
I was hiding from this world
I was so afraid, I felt so not sure
Now I am invincible another perfect storm
.
Amy and Rouge made their way towards Cream, and they had a closer look at the Emeralds. The Emeralds began to have a more noticeable white aura surrounding them.
"What the...?!" Rouge wondered.
"What the fuck is going on here?!" Amy wondered in shock.
.
(Cream singing)
Now I'm a true warrior, a shooting star
And now I've got this far, had a broken heart
No one hears my silent tears collecting
Because it was weak, but strong within the truth I've found
I've courage now, I will shout it out
Chaos, I feel the dots connecting
.
"Rouge, I think I have a rough idea what is going on here." Amy thought.
"What could that be?" Rouge wondered.
.
(Cream singing)
Beat down on me, beats down like the waterfall
Because I could take on so much more than I have ever dreamed
Now beat down on me, beat down like the waterfall
Because baby, I'm now ready to be free
.
The Emeralds began to float upwards. Amy and Rouge's were widened in shock. They haven't seen anything like this before. This even caught Infinite off guard.
"Hm! No worries, probably just the Emeralds just worshipping their master." Infinite thought.
.
(Cream singing)
Now I am invincible
No, I'm not a scared little girl no more
Yeah, I am invincible
What was I running for?
I was hiding from this world
I was so afraid, I felt so not sure
Now I am invincible another perfect storm
.
"That's what you think, Infinite! But I am NOT afraid of you! What you are witnessing here is nothing to do with your power, it's MINE!" Cream yelled.
Amy and Rouge smiled with happiness.
"I knew it! It's Cream's hope that is bringing life into the Emeralds again!" Amy exclaimed.
"Well, we better get praying then!" Rouge added.
"Huh?!" Infinite wondered.
The guys didn't even notice, as they were all battered to the ground.
.
(Rouge singing)
I've been running from the empty threat
Of emptiness
I've been running from the empty threat
That didn't exist
(Amy singing)
I've been running from the empty threat
Of emptiness
I've been running from the empty threat
That didn't exist
.
Cream smiles confidently towards Infinite. The Emeralds floated, and the colour was slightly coming back towards them. Not the actual Emeralds gained colour again, it was just the colour of the aura for each Emerald.
"What is going on here?!" Infinite wondered.
The four guys looked up, and noticed the multi coloured auras around the Emeralds.
"The Chaos Emeralds!" Sonic mentioned.
"And the Master Emerald!" Tails added.
"What does this mean?!" Shadow wondered.
Suddenly, the cage around the women evaporated, and was no longer trapping them. Infinite gasped in surprise, and Knuckles smiles.
"I know EXACTLY what this means!" Knuckles stated, with confidence.
The women walked out slowly, and the Emeralds then slowly started to regain colour.
.
(Cream singing)
Now I am invincible
No, I'm not a scared little girl no more
Yeah, I am invincible
What was I running for?
.
(Amy and Rouge singing, Cream falsettos)
I was hiding from this world
I was so afraid, I felt so not sure
Now I am invincible another perfect storm
.
(Cream and Rouge singing, Amy falsettos/improvising)
Now I am invincible
No, I'm not a scared little girl no more
Yeah, I am invincible
What was I running for? (What was I running for?!)
I was hiding from this world
I was so afraid, I felt so not sure (I was so not sure!)
Now I am invincible another perfect storm
.
The girls were all standing next to the Emeralds. Infinite was looking in shock.
"No! How is this even possible?!" Infinite wondered.
"There is one thing you have forgotten, Infinite! You were never there when it happened, I know, but this is something a brave, strong young fox once told us. You along with evil only use the NEGATIVE power of the Emeralds, but in our case, no matter who we are, we can harness their REAL powers!" Knuckles exclaimed with confidence.
"That's the way, Knuckles!" the voice of Tikal said in Knuckles' head again.
Tails smiled at Knuckles' compliment towards him.
