Chapter 14

READY!

Sonic and Zero made their entrances into Twinkle Park only to find a small rabbit waiting for them. She had long ears the drooped over like pony tails and a small Chao that had a yellow bow tie on. "Cream?" Sonic blurted. "What are you doing here?"

The little smiled and jumped into Sonic's arms. "Mister Sonic! It's so good to see."

The little rabbit known as Cream looked over to Zero. "Who's this? A new friend?"

"Well yeah," Sonic replied. "This is my new friend Zero. I'm helping him to find something."

"Oh pour mister Zero. Well I hope you find what it is you want."

"Thanks."

And with that little Cream and her Chao, Cheese went trotting away. Zero looked over to Sonic. "You sure do have a lot of friends." Sonic just shrugged his shoulders and together the two began their search.

The area was like an amusement park or something. Zero was amazed at this world Sonic lived in. It was so lively, not like his world. Where he came from everything was in ruins. If only the original Megaman X hadn't sacrificed himself maybe it would still be the beautiful world he once lived in.

"Mr. Sonic!" came the sound of Cream's voice. "Help!"

Sonic and Zero both looked at each other and ran deeper into the park. Waiting for them by a fairest wheel was a small little girl wearing an all white jump suit with a matching cape. She had her arm wrapped around Cream's neck. Sonic growled with extreme anger.

"Let her go," Zero said calmly as he drew his Z-Saber. "And maybe we'll go easy on you."

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA," the little girl laughed. "You fools really think you can interfere with master Zero's plans?"

"Wait a minute," Sonic said in his mind. "Where's Cheese?"

Sonic moved his eyes about the area. He couldn't find Cheese anywhere. It was like he disappeared.

"You puny little sprite why don't you just give us the girl? You're out numbered anyway."

"Cheese!" Cream shouted at the top of her lungs. Her eyes were focused above Sonic. Sonic looked over his shoulder and noticed there was a large frog like robot standing behind him and Zero. Inside one of its eyes Sonic noticed there was a small Chao struggling to get out.

"Cheese," Sonic mumbled.

"So now who's puny?" the little girl said. And she disappeared taking Cream with her.

Zero growled and looked over to the frog robot. The robot let out a loud croak that sent Zero and Sonic flying into a concession stand. Zero slashed his way out of the rubble and pulled Sonic up along with him. Sonic snatched his self from Zero's grip and dashed at the robotic frog. The robot shot out its long tongue and it wrapped around Sonic. Sonic struggled to get free but it was no use. All of the sudden the tongue began to charge electricity and began electrocuting Sonic. Zero leaped into the air and slashed the tongue in half. Sonic fell to the ground gasping for air. Zero looked over to Sonic who was unconscious and back to the robot. Things just got even tougher.

"I'll try to make this as quick as possible," Zero lunged at the robot's eye and tore through it. He quickly grabbed Cheese and stabbed his Saber into the robot's head causing it to explode.

Zero looked at Cheese. The little Chao was shivering with extreme fright. Zero smiled and set him down next to Sonic. Cheese crawled next to Sonic's arm and cuddled as close he possibly could. Sonic coughed and opened one of his eyes. Cheese gasped with excitement and smiled. "Cheese?" Sonic asked. "Are you alright?"

"CHAO, CHAO ,CHAO," Cheese happily shouted jumping onto Sonic's chest. Sonic cracked a smile and put his hand on the little Chao's head.

"Glad you're okay," Zero said. "You think you can walk?"

"Oh yeah I'm fine. We gotta hurry, Cream could be in extreme danger."

Zero nodded and the two ran further into the park. Zero put his finger on the side of his helmet and activated his communicator. "Ciel I need a map of this place," he ordered. "Looks like the enemy could be anywhere."

"Right away," Tails replied pushing some buttons on his computer and seconds later a map was downloaded into Zero's Helmet.

"Thanks. Sonic make left here the enemy isn't too far from us now."

"Sonic nodded and the two leaped over a roller coaster rail."

Zero's eyes widened and came to a complete stop. Sonic looked over his shoulder and stopped. "Why'd you stop?"

"The roller coaster. They're on the roller coaster."

"What?" Sonic tilted his head and raised an eyebrow. He suddenly felt tug on his arm and noticed Cheese was trying to break free of Sonic's arm. Sonic let go and watched as the little Chao flew back up to the roller coaster railing. Sonic and Zero had no choice but to follow him. They leaped into the air and prepared for battle.

WARNING!

"Show yourself!" Zero angrily ordered. "Before I make."

"HAHAHAHAHA," came the little girl's voice. "Why don't you try making me."

"Cream!" Sonic shouted. "Where are you?"

"Mr. Sonic, Mr. Zero! Help," came the sound of Cream's voice.

"Stop Villian!" came a deep voice. Then a giant ninja star came flying through the air and suddenly stopped in mid air revealing the little girl. She fell on top of the railing and dropped Cream. Cream screamed as she pummeled to the toward the ground. "I got ya"

Then a purple shot by and grabbed Cream. The blur shot back into he air and landed next to Zero and Sonic, revealing-

"Espio," Sonic said with smile. "What are you doing here."

"Um excuse me," the injured little girl said. "Don't forget about me."

"I'll tell you later," the chameleon replied. "I'll let you handle this."

And with he leaped away.

"You fools," the little girl said. Then she started glowing. The glow then resulted in causing a bright flash. When the flash cleared the little girl was no longer a little girl. She was a tall older woman with large powerful wings. "Behold I am Dixie the Pixie."

"Just as I suspected," Zero said clutching his saber. "A sprite reploid."

"What?"

The battle began. Dixie hovered from the railing and flew at Zero. Zero clicked his heels together and activated his dash boots. When Dixie reached him, Zero phased straight through her. Sonic curled into a ball and rammed his self into the evil reploid's stomach. Dixie pushed Sonic off her and clapped her hands twice. In result a cloud appeared above Sonic and small bits of hail came crashing onto him. Sonic squirmed around protecting his face. "Zero help."

Zero switching to Shield Boomerang and flung at the rain cloud. The cloud faded away and Sonic quickly got on his feet. "About time time."

"Hey what can I say?" Zero said. "I like to be fashionably late."

"What ever. Now let's finish the job."

Zero flung his weapon again and it sliced the wings right off Dixie and Sonic began charging for his light speed dash. As Zero caught his weapon he switched it with his Z-Saber taking in energy.

"Ready!" Sonic shouted as he was glowing bright blue.

"Oh yah," Zero lifted his saber preparing for his finishing move.

"GO!"

Sonic and Zero charged in with all the remaining power they had and cut Dixie the Pixie in half. "Uggggghhh," she moaned. "Master X avenge me!"

And with that the evil Reploid exploded.

"Sorry guy," Sonic taunted striking his Sonic Heroes pose.

"Maybe next time," Zero struck his original winning pose. (the once's he did in the Megaman X games)

"Very nice," Sonic said.

"Thanks. I just remembered I used to do this kind of thing back in the day."

"So why did you stop?"

"I don't know."

"Well if you to are finished," Espio said. "What should I do with the girl?"

"Oh yeah," Sonic said. "Cream are you okay?"

"Yup me and Cheese are just fine."

"That's just great. Say Espio can you take her back to Tails and the others on Angel Island? And ask them to fill you in on the details."

"Espio nodded and disappeared."
