CHAPTER 6

(Cream the Rabbit)

Cream could hear blurry voices that were not coming from inside her head. Slowly, she returned to reality and blinked open her eyes only to see that she was still dreaming.

"Oh!" Cream exclaimed as she looked all around and saw only clouds. Then, the X-Tornado whizzed through the sky and Cream smiled brightly. "OMG! Tails! You're finally here!"

Unfortunately for Cream, the ball she was in muffled her voice so that Tails could only see that she was awake and trying to say something. Cream banged on the transparent structure, but nothing happened. Her beloved was just a few miles away and she couldn't touch him.

This was unacceptable.

"Eggman! You better let me out of this thing right now!" Cream screamed while going berserk. She continuously slammed her body against the walls and hopped about, stomping wherever she could touch. It was a lot like a little girl throwing a tantrum because she didn't get a piece of candy.

Before Tails and Dr. Eggman's eyes the ball snapped off of its support and started to roll away.

"Nooo!" Dr. Eggman panicked. "That's highly special material! Get your bunny butt back up there! No! You're destroying everything!"

Cream rolled around, trying to stay on Dr. Eggman's ship. "Waahh! What is with this thing?!"

Safely in his X-Tornado, Tails watched fearfully as Cream continued to narrowly escape plunging down to her doom. Robots marched out and tried to stop her, but got smashed instead. Even the cannons and other weapons were destroyed as Cream ran them over. The sight would have been hilarious if it wasn't for the danger Cream kept getting into.

"That is IT!" Dr. Eggman declared. After straightening his jacket, he pushed...the big red button. (OMG!)

Advanced missiles popped out and prepared to fire.

"Eggman! You're not actually planning to shoot her are you?!" Tails shouted.

"Good-bye, Amy Rose!" Dr. Eggman laughed manically.

Shocked, Cream didn't realize that she was rolling towards another edge, so she when she got to the end, she forgot to roll to change direction. Tails' face froze in horror. Dr. Eggman stopped laughing and frowned.

KA-BOOM!

(Down with the others...)

"Cream is in danger!" Rouge suddenly shouted. The feeling of falling was so real that even Rouge shook in fear. From the corner of her eyes, she saw Amy shiver slightly, too.

"What?! Where is she?" Knuckles asked.

"...Right outside!" Rouge gasped and without waiting for anyone, she flew up through the hole Knuckles had made previously.

Amy followed suit and as if it was planned out a while ago, which it kind of was, Rouge took Amy's hands and flung her towards the incoming ball. The pink hedgehog summoned her hammer and cut straight through Cream's prison by spinning, releasing the rabbit, then started to descend.

"Amy Rose!" Dr. Eggman's voice carried through the air and over the city. "You've finally shown your real self!" He flew out of the smokes of his dying ship in his classical Egg Carrier.

But before his eyes, Amy disappeared. For a moment, Dr. Eggman and everyone else was confused, but then Amy reappeared again on the roof of a building a few miles away in the arms of Shadow.

"Hey! Shadow! Get back here with my girl!" Sonic screamed.

"Shut up, Sonic." Shadow mumbled.

Of course, Sonic couldn't hear him, so from his view, it looked like Shadow was talking to Amy. When Amy giggled, Sonic got angrier.

"Amy! Don't fall for his evil flirtations!" Sonic wailed.

Dr. Eggman was so busy filming Sonic (yes, filming with a camera he got out of who knows where) that he forgot that his life was kind of in danger. Silently, Cream had flapped her ears and rose up behind Dr. Eggman, flames shooting out of her eyes. She was pretty angry at the doctor for trying to blow her up. He might have been safe if there were no street lamps about, but luck was not on his side today. Cream raised her deadly weapon, a street lamp from the city below, and prepared to deal the death blow.

"Dr. Eggman, watch out!" Rouge screamed.

Startled, Dr. Eggman dropped his camera and bent over to pick it up, so when Cream swung, she barely missed him.

"Hey! Whose side are you on?!" Cream demanded.

"Miss Cream! Don't do something you'll regret!" Rouge shouted.

"I won't regret this!"

"Killing someone is not the polite thing to do!"

"I'LL SHOW YOU THE POLITE THING TO DO!" Cream screamed, raising her lamp again, but not to attack Dr. Eggman. This time, she was going after the white bat...again.

By this time, Tails had floated down far enough to see what was going on. The X-Tornado had suffered heavily from the explosion that destroyed Dr. Eggman's large ship. He was starting to get that girls + machines = destruction.

As if she had a Tails radar built into her brain, Cream suddenly ceased her rampage and dropped her weapon. (Below, someone who had just come out of therapy for believing that the sky was falling got a little surprised. The lamp post didn't hit him, but it did strike the land right in front of him. The poor guy was so scared that he ran back inside and fainted in his therapist's chair.)

"Furry Heart, my love!" Cream rejoiced, throwing her hands up in the air with the biggest smile on her face.

"Again with the ridiculous nicknames?!" Tails slapped his hand onto his face.

Cream didn't hear him. Instead, she just charged straight towards him. The collision sent both the fox and rabbit spiraling towards a lake.

(Rouge the Bat)

Rouge took a moment to breathe a sigh of relief as Cream disappeared from the picture. The pretty little rabbit scared her. Then, the fear completely settled in and she realized that Cream would have killed her for interrupting.

Rouge started to cry.

Seeing her tears, both Espio and Knuckles called out to her, then glared at each other.

"What the heck?" Knuckles said.

"Hey, I saved her once already today. And where were you?" Espio spat.

Knuckles puffed out his chest. "Trying to help her return to normal!"

"By...?"

"B-By...uh...getting Tails!"

"Uh huh..."

Knuckles became extremely frustrated and started screaming at Espio. Luckily for Rouge, she was too high above them to hear the exact words, but she did want to seek some comfort, so she went to the closest person she saw- Dr. Eggman.

Rouge clung to his round belly and sobbed loudly. "I was going to die!"

"Wah-?! Get off of me, you female!" Dr. Eggman struggled to pry her off of him. "Someone! Help me!"

But Rouge held on tightly. With this new problem, Dr. Eggman lost control over his Egg Carrier. It dove fast for the ground with Dr. Eggman screaming the entire time.

Right before it hit the ground, however, Rouge was saved by Knuckles who had somehow gotten down in time to snatch her away from the explosion. Dr. Eggman, on the other hand, was left to suffer the damage.

Rouge just continued to cry into Knuckles' chest, which made him blush a deep shade of red.

(Amy Rose)

"Shadow. You can let me go now." Amy said. She avoided his ruby orbs and just stared down at the mess of police cars. Someone, probably Espio, had called the police to take Dr. Eggman back to jail. A few feet away from the flashing lights were Knuckles and Rouge.

Shadow nuzzled her neck affectionately. "What if I don't want to?"

Amy shivered at the suggestive tone of his voice. "I don't care. Just let me go."

"Rose..." He breathed her name as if it was the purest thing on earth.

She could hear his heart beating faster and couldn't deny her own excitement escalading. Her face turned towards him and their mouths parted, drawing closer and closer.

BAM!

"Shadow! Where did you lock up my angel?!" Sonic demanded, his hands on both sides of the doorway between the building stairs and the roof.

Shadow's arms were empty and only the sweet scent of strawberries were left behind. Amy Rose had escaped from him. He slowly brought his arms down from the posture of holding the female and opened his eyes half-way.

It was all Sonic's fault.

"Sonic..." Shadow growled menacingly. "You IDIOT FAKER!"

It was Shadow's turn to be angry and to be honest, he was the scarier one between the two males.

"Uh... Catch you later, Shades!" Sonic said, smiling a nervous smile before dashing away to find Amy.

Shadow's hand to where his chaos emerald should have been. He closed his eyes once more and faced the moon.

"You have a lot of nerve to steal from Shadow the Hedgehog." he growled. "Amy Rose! I swear once I find you, I'll- I'll!"

He grit his teeth and opened his eyes. Why was he so obsessed with the pink hedgehog anyways? Was it because she changed personality?

'No. It's because I finally have a chance to be worth something in her heart.' Shadow told himself. Since Amy had been chasing after Sonic the entire time before, Shadow hadn't stood a chance, but it was different now that Amy rejected Sonic.

"I'll kill you Faker..." Shadow growled before dashing off into the night, too.

Well, Eggman is gone for good...maybe...Who knows if the police can keep him jailed or not!

And Shadow obviously likes Amy... And Amy likes Shadow back. Poor Shadow, Amy is still denying her feelings! (I don't feel bad for Sonic though. He can continue to love Amy and get rejected...and hunted by Shadow. lol)

So I'm sorry that Amy and Shadow's part in this chapter was kind of short, but hey, the hunt has finally begun! And Tails should be rebuilding that machine soon, too... if only Cream would give him the time...
