If you looked at the title and went "Wat?" then I fulfilled my mission. If you went "Okay, cool." Then it still counts anyway.
Ninja World Saga: Chapter 35 – Cream and the Ninja Nation
It was two days after Blaze had gotten rid of the black experimental organism and the events which followed afterwards. In the middle of the Antarctic, early in the morning, Sonic and Tails were speeding along a wide trail of snow in the Tornado which was recently customized into a bobsled, as Cool Edge Day from Sonic Unleashed played in the background.
As the camera panned out, a few penguins were making a snowman. Sonic and Tails sped by and went right through it moments later as they went down heaps of snow on the straight path. Tails soon turned right before he smashed into a wall, and continued going. Sonic spotted a cave to his right soon after, hopped out of the bobsled and ran in. He ran along a narrow path with multi-coloured crystals on the sides, which quickly went southwest, before it went east again.
Sonic then ran through three Eggman robots along the very same path which soon curved right, then to the left, before he evaded three randomly placed giant ice cubes. He then hit a speed pad and ran along a falling ice bridge, hit another speed pad and ran along one to the right, and then he jumped over a pit and hit a spring, launching him over three Eggman robots which he quickly eliminated with three consecutive spin attacks. As he left the cave, he jumped into the bobsled as Tails quickly sped past.
Just then, several giant icicles landed in the snow, which Tails avoided as they passed by them, and then they hit a ramp and flipped twice before landing. They then went down two small hills, through a loop and eventually drove right through four Eggman robots before Tails turned left and ejected the wings as they drove to the sea.
A bit later that morning, Sally Sue was causing random destruction in a city, and was able to take a free television just by asking the store manager nicely. As she walked out, the television was hit by a chaos spear, busting it. Sally angrily looked far ahead to see Shadow sitting on a red car, while Omega stood next to it. Rouge floated down a second later and sat on the hood. (Just so you know, Sally isn't referencing a certain character from a certain show. I honestly have nothing against her whatsoever.)
Sally Sue tossed the television at the car, just before Shadow leaped off it and charged at her. Omega fired a missile which she caught with one hand, then sent Shadow flying back with a solarbeam from her other hand. She threw the missile at Rouge, which she easily avoided and attacked Sally from midair. Sally Sue soon grabbed her foot and slammed her into the ground. As she did so, Shadow hit Sally with a spin attack, then jumped out the way as Omega hit her with a dozen missiles and finally a large beam.
Sally Sue got to her feet, seeming unharmed and laughing maniacally. "Silly fools! I am almighty! I cannot be beaten!" Suddenly, she tripped on a nearby rock and hit her head on the pavement, knocking her unconscious.
Shadow breathed a sigh of relief. "The people I have to deal with these days…"
Meanwhile, at Tails' house, Tails was in his basement laboratory constructing something special. Cream entered the basement and waved to Tails as she spotted him. "Hi Tails! Are you making something special?"
"I guess you could say that." Tails raised his head. "Something happened recently, and it got me thinking…"
---
An hour earlier, Tails sat in the living room, watching TV when Amber suddenly kicked in the door and stormed in. "Tails! What level are you at?!" she yelled.
"On Pure Ownage? I've just recently gotten to level 8, where you fight radioactive robot ghosts on a flaming meteor while you have to deactivate a series of bombs in 69 seconds. Amazing stuff."
"That's not good enough, Tails! I want you to reach level 10 by tomorrow, or I'll rape you!"
"That doesn't sound very nice…" Tails replied as he frowned. "And was totally uncalled for. You shouldn't joke about those things."
"Fine, sorry. Just hurry and get there." She quickly left seconds later.
---
"And so, after that, I got the idea to create my own game! I'm putting a lot of effort in, and it'll eventually reach the awesomeness of Pure Ownage in no time!"
"So did you get to level 10?" Cream asked.
"Not exactly, level 9 is pretty hard." He said, scratching his forehead. "So anyway, you want to try out my virtual reality video game I finished making? I'm sure you'll love it."
"If you need someone to test it then I'd be happy to help." Cream said as she picked up a metal helmet with wires attached to it, placed it on her head and sat in a chair nearby before Tails switched it on.
After a short period of darkness of multi-coloured dots in random spots, Cream opened her eyes and found herself on a stone pavement in the middle of a mountain area with a ninja sanctuary just further ahead. She walked along the path in front of her, admiring the peaceful and breathtaking scenery, complete with a waterfall in the background. But, as if right on queue, this was interrupted by robotic knights who exited the sanctuary further ahead before one pointed at Cream. "A witness! Get her!"
As they charged at her, she noticed part of the sanctuary was on the fire and fled in the opposite direction. After a few moments, she heard a mysterious voice in her head. "Young rabbit, we ninjas may be in need of your service to help against the robot knights. If you wish to help us, meet me on the other side of the sanctuary." Cream thought for a second, then spun round and head butted one robot in the crotch and ran past as she yelled, "Terribly sorry!" In the sanctuary were several dozens of knights and ninjas who were engaged in combat throughout the area as buildings burned around them, including SA and SA2 who were easily taking on a dozen at once with their eyes closed.
Cream continued on, avoiding the knights that attempted to attack her. She soon reached a building near the end which remained untouched, and by it stood Knuckles who wore a red ninja suit and had a fist symbol on his chest. He got into a fighting stance as she arrived. "You've proved your courageousness by coming here, but it takes more than that to be a supreme ninja. Now come at me!" Knuckles charged at her and swung as she rolled under his fist.
"Knuckles, what are you doing here? And why are we fighting?" Knuckles ignored her as he continued to attack, with Cream choosing to dodge his punches. Knuckles soon punched her, knocking her into a wall.
"Why don't you fight back?" Knuckles asked in confusion.
"Because there is no reason for us to fight."
"For you to progress, you need to show me your potential!" Knuckles swung again, hitting Cream and knocking her to the ground. As he jumped up and attempted a downward punch, Cream leapt up and head butted him in the face, causing him to land face first in the ground. Knuckles got up and shook off the hit before saying, "Very well, decent but there's room for improvement. For now, we need to get your wardrobe up to date." Knuckles threw her a golden bracelet. "Now, we'll visit a shop so you can get your signature weapon."
The two walked across the field outside and quickly came to a weapon stand run by Tails. Knuckles approached the stand and said, "Hey Tails, I'm gonna need a weapon for our new visitor here."
"Sure thing." He said as he brought out a collection of various weapons by flicking a switch. "We got cutlass swords for the easygoing types; we got katanas, because they're better. We got machetes, because they're more fun. We got kunai for standard throwing knifes, smoke bombs for strategy and getaway opportunities, an-"
Tails was quickly interrupted as Cream pointed at a particular item and yelled, "I'll take that one!"
Knuckles raised an eyebrow. "The yo-yo? Seriously?"
Cream nodded.
"Are you really sure about this?"
Cream nodded twice.
SA4, who stood beside Tails, then said, "Now, say the words, "Yo-yo!"
Cream nodded and raised her red yo-yo high above her head as she said, "Yo-yo a go-go, lady!" a transformation scene suddenly came out of nowhere as the golden bracelet flashed and gave Cream orange ninja clothing with a red ribbon on her forehead, a black belt with water balloons and crayons on the sides, and the 1-up icon of her face from Sonic Advance 2 on her chest. Cream retracted one yo-yo to each hand and looked over herself. "Wow!" She then looked at Knuckles. "Could I also have a cape?"
"No. It's against the way of the ninja. Plus, it's for your own good, enforced by what happened to Charmy…"
"What happened to Charmy?"
"He got his cape caught in a plane engine."
"Oh. I'm sorry." She said with a frown.
"Don't be, he was a douche, always annoying people and whatnot."
"So what exactly happened here?"
"I'll explain this." Tails replied. "This nation was quite peaceful once upon a time, where ninjas were actually ninjas, stuff got blown up, and pirates were friendly neighbours…but one day, this uber emperor showed up and tried to take the land by force! He would have succeeded, had not four brave elite ninja chose to follow the dark emperor if he spared this land. This was many years ago, and there has not been one ninja since who could match the level of uberness which the emperor represents."
Knuckles placed a hand on Cream's shoulder. "But now we have hope, if the prophecy Amy spoke of is true, then you may have the strength to defeat this menace. I was to originally surrender as well, along with my fellow elite ninjas, but Sonic suggested I stay to protect it in case of future threats. Cream, you are our only hope to free the emperor's grasp over this nation and insure future peace. Do you accept this mission?"
"I'll do it!" Cream said enthusiastically. "Just point me in the right direction!"
SA2 stepped up to them and pointed ahead. "Just keep running ahead through the mountains, which happens to be the second level."
"Okay! I'll be back soon!" She yelled as she ran off, over the horizon.
