Amy and Cream arrive at Station square a day later; they set foot on shore of Emerald coast, admiring the beautiful view of the sapphire blue ocean and the waves crashing on the grainy white sand. Amy looks over at the hotel resort, which lays nearby-but separated by a cliff.
"Cream, we'll be staying over there…" Amy points to the hotel and carries her backpack; Cream does likewise.
"Amy, do you remember when we lived in station square." Says Cream, starting up a conversation with the beautiful ocean in the background.
"Yeah, I think we should pass by our old hotspots before we begin our mission." Responds Amy, resting the white tarp over the jet and locking it with her keys.
They both walk up the sandy hill and onto the sidewalk; Cream stops to take a photo of the beach with the ocean in the back. They arrive at the hotel, a very luxurious one. They reach the top floor and head to the suite that's reserved for them.
"Amy, I didn't think you'd use your money here!" settling her bag down and jumping on one of the beds.
"Did you think Sonic's the only one who's got money to spend? I'll gladly spend it if it'll make you happy." Jumping onto the bed beside Cream.
Creams happy facial expression fades away, "Amy… do you think my mom's ok?"
"Don't worry! I'm sure wherever she is…she's safe and sound!" pinching Cream's cheeks in an attempt to cheer her up; Cream gets up and goes out onto the balcony to admire the view of Station Square on the left and the beach on the right.
There's another reason why I became an adventurer…Amy closes her eyes going into deep thought, shortly after we'd all split up and went our separate ways, Cream showed up at my apartment here in Station Square with teary eyes and a note in her hand.
"Amy! My mom's missing!" she cried, jumping into me with open arms, "This note was on my door when I got home..." Handing me the note.
It read: "Cream, I'll be gone, and I might not return for a very long time. Pack up your belongings and grab the suitcase that I left on the table-It's all the money that I saved for you. Go to Amy's domain and give her this note, I'm sure she'll gladly take you in with open arms. It really pains me to have say goodbye like this, but it's the only way to make sure you won't be harmed.
Mommy loves you.
I was shocked! Her mom didn't seem like the kind of woman to be in the kind of danger that'd make her leave behind Cream- Vanilla would never abandon her!
I took her in and together we learned martial arts together, we picked up different skills that'd benefit us in the future; I took up Archery and Medicine to add to my arsenal with my acrobatic skills and my Piko-Piko hammer, Cream took up artillery practicing how to use a gun and build one. After 4 months I became an ace archer as well as a certified medic, and she became an arms specialist, mastering the use of any gun imaginable.
We adventured across North and South Maruca, but we found no leads on the whereabouts of Vanilla. Then during one of our expeditions in the jungles of South Maruca, We encountered one of Dr. Eggman's badniks- we defeated very easily but, we got suspicious of why his robot would be out here. Thus, we began our second objective of finding Dr. Eggman. I'd be lying to myself if I said I didn't feel tired right about now… Amy relaxes her body and falls asleep.
Cream re-enters the room and finds observes Amy sleeping. She picks up her cream colored backpack and exits the room. "Amy's going to kill me if she finds out I left without her permission…But I can't let her lose any more energy than she's already lost because of me!" Cream tightens her grip on her shoulder straps and heads into the elevator. She walks up to the front desk and asks them to call her a taxi to Station Square; during the taxi ride, she listens to her music with her expensive Tunes headphones-Amy bought them for her.
Cream arrives in Station Square, looking up at the dozens upon dozens of skyscrapers that fill the area. She walks around observing all the restaurants, shops and people in the big city; the city had been rebuilt a few years back, after Sonic's battle with Perfect Chaos.
"This place looks even better than before!" in amazement; there's plenty more traffic than before too.
She passes by Twinkle Park, which got renovated. She stops at burger shop and gets a Cheeseburger with pickles and no tomatoes, she hates tomatoes. After she finishes her burger, she begins her search for the Chaos Emerald. She takes out her phone and brings up a map.
"Judging from the map, The Chao Emerald's location appears to be in the casino…" looking at her phone, "But, I can't enter the casino. I'm too young to be there…" she remembers the many times that her mom and Amy taught her to do the right thing and always respect the rules.
I'm sorry mom…Amy…I'm going to break in; She sneaks behind the casino-avoiding the two security guards that inspect the perimeter of the building. She finds a backdoor with an air vent on top of it and opens up her bag, taking out a universal key she received from Tails a week ago when she was hanging out with him. She holds the key close to her heart, "Tails, you always know how to win me over." She says opening the door.
She crouches down and peeks behind the corner- four security guards were chatting it up in the room nearby; she sneaks over to hear the conversation.
"So, did you hear what the grand prize of tonight's auction is?" asks the first security guard.
"Yeah, it's a Chaos Emerald. I hear many people are going to make a big splash for it!" answers the second security guard.
"Well, we'll need to be careful. I hear someone might try to steal it." Says the third guard, sipping on some coffee.
"We have tight security in the auction room, no one will be able to get in or out with our notice." Says the fourth security guard- he looks the most intimidating out of them all.
"I'll leave the map of the casino here, as you know, we've been having electrical issues lately. So I'll also leave the coordinates to the electric room here too." Says the fourth guard.
Cream hurries back to her original spot to remain undetected, so I'm not the only one looking to steal this… could it be!? No…Rouge wouldn't be here. She works for G.U.N now with Shadow if I remember correctly. The fourth and third guards exit the room; the first and second guards keep watch in front the security room.
Cream observes the flickering light in the middle of the hallway and strikes as the dark hits. She knocks both of them unconscious- targeting their pressure points and rests them in the nearby janitor's room. She proceeds to the security room and snatches the two maps. Cream sneaks into the nearby opening into the air vent and crawls around in the vents, passing by numerous rooms and finally arriving atr the auction room.
Cream peeks through the vent and quickly identifies the shiny Red Chaos Emerald, heavily protected by at least 20 muscular body guards. She waits patiently, taking a look at the map. I'll need to shut off the lights first and then find a way to steal the Chaos Emerald. But, how? I can't reach here in time to retrieve it without someone detecting me…maybe I'll just wing it.
Cream continues forward until she arrives at the tech room. Since it's the last item on the list of items they're auctioning off, then I'll have to hurry soon. She exits the vent and scopes around the room.
"No one's here…" locking the door and barricading it shut with a nearby shelf.
She looks around finds all the switches, The Chaos Emerald is in the back with around 20 guards, I should try to program the lights to shut off at a certain time.
She locates the computer and begins typing in random code-magically bypassing the firewall and gaining access to the network. She presses one final key that programs the lights to shut off in fifteen minutes.
"OK! Now to return back!" going back into the vent; everything's working in her favor so far.
She arrives back at the vent and studies the mannerisms of the guards, focusing intently on which guard to slip by for the rest of the remaining time. 3…2…1!
The lights shut off and Cream darts for the Chaos Emerald, taking out four of the guards single handedly without any use of her guns and retrieves the Chaos Emerald, making a break for the vent again.
While in the vent, the alarm sounds and security tightens; Cream quietly crawls through the air vent. Luckily I can exit through the vent at the back. She arrives at the back vent and breaks through-the coast is clear; disappearing into the back alley.
Police sirens and lights fill the city as they search for the criminal, Cream sneaks past all the commotion and Stuff s the Chaos Emerald in her bag to avoid any suspicion as she emerges onto the main street. She continues walking forward with no one even paying any attention to her. Alright! This is good! I should call a taxi and head to the hotel, walking all the way back won't be smart since it will raise the risk of me getting caught. She looks at her phone with regret; I wish I could call Amy...
A projectile flies toward Cream; she detects it immediately and dodges it. She looks up and finds an army of Dr. Eggman's badniks-all lined up and ready for battle.
"Just my luck…"she says, taking out a pair Blue pistols from her bag.
She shoots every badnik in her way and dodges the big ones that swing at her; the civilians flee as battle ensues. Cream lands a no-look headshot on a banik that's sneaking behind her and dodges the one in front, blasting that badnik's head clean. Cream holds her defense, eliminating them one at a time.
"Where the heck are the cops!?" she yells in frustration, having to defend herself alone against the barrage of numerous badniks.
Cream performs a melee attack on a mech and sends the badnik flying but leaves herself open; a huge badnik with an axe appears before her and swings at her-she can't react fast enough to dodge and sees her impending doom.
Just at that moment, a Piko- Piko hammer slams the badnik sending it into the wall; Creams terrified at whose hammer that might be.
"CREAM!" Shouts Amy in anger, "When we get back to the hotel, you've got some explaining to do!"
Amy snaps her fingers and summons another hammer and destroys the rest of the badniks with absolute ease. Amy grabs Cream by the arm and pulls her back to the hotel, knowing she'll get scolded by Amy. At the hotel, Amy scolds Cream and then gives her a big hug.
"I'm glad you're safe at least." Pulling away from her, "But pull some reckless like that again and I'll show you my scary side!" releasing a dark aura.
"W-wait! I do have good news!" pleads Cream, reaching into her bag.
Amy's stern mood disappears, "That's…"
"Ta-da!" cheers Cream, handing her the bright Red Chaos Emerald.
"Where did you find this?" taking the emerald, stunned.
"I'll tell you later! Right now we need to leave!" hurries Cream; Amy begins to get suspicious.
"Why are you in a hurry?" inquires Amy looking back.
"We just need to leave now!" trying to get her to the door.
They leave Station Square with Amy unaware of Cream's actions. Cream explains how she got the Chaos Emerald once they took flight; Amy Karate chops her on the head and scolds her more. Amy takes out her phone and contacts Tails- who's in Apotos with Saffron searching for their Chaos Emerald.
