Later in the middle of the jungle, Cream and Tails were walking along the path to where the fountain is avoiding anything that they see or hear at this point.
On the otherside of the area not far from cream and tails, a few jeeps were being driven over a grassy area. Sojourer and Enerjax were in the 1st jeep not even realizing that tails and cream were several feets from their position.
Dissolve To:
A huge pond with a waterfall cascading over it was seen. Cream and Tails arrived in the area as tails sniffed the air and breaths out.
"Love that fresh air."
"Yeah, me too."
Tails begins to take his clothes off as cream noticed.
"You're actually swimming in this pool?"
Tails looks at her while undressing.
"Yeah. Wanna come?"
Cream chuckles and shakes her head.
"No, I'll be fine."
"In the water. Come on, the water's fine."
"Why? So you can hustle me?"
"That was back in mystic ruins. This is a whole new different prespective."
Tails puts his clothes behind a bush.
"Really."
"Mm-hmm."
"I would have to suck on a cow's milk nuts than get in that pool."
"You're not afraid of anything, are ya?"
"No, I'm just saying. It might be parahna's in that pool and it's liable to eat your dick off."
Tails guffaws.
"Parahnas? Are you shittin' me?"
"No, I'm not shitting anything? Look, I'm not going in. That's that."
Tails strugs.
"Okay. I guess I won't be telling you the secret."
Cream looked at tails before he leaped in the pond in a big splash.
"What secret?"
Tails surfaces and looks at cream.
"Well, something that I know about a chao drive but that doesn't matter now."
"Tell me about it."
"Tell you about it?"
"Yeah."
"It's gonna cost ya."
Cream groans in frustration.
"I knew it! I knew it!"
"What?"
"This is the second time already! You hustle me everytime I want something!"
"What do you expect? I'm a goddamn Ex-Con!"
"No shit! I mean, can't you just tell me one little thing without hustling me?! Huh? Can you do that?"
"And what's in it for me, huh? What are you gonna do for me if I chose to tell you?"
"What can I do for you?"
"Yeah."
"I'll get in the pond with you. That's what you want?"
Tails grins.
"That's what I'll get."
"Okay, then."
Cream starts to undress as tails backstrokes in the water with his feet. Cream was fuly undressed and naked before leaping into the pond in a big splash. She swims forward towards tails as he dives backwards and surfaces up.
"Okay, now. Tell me."
"Alright, alright. You ever heard of the chao drive?"
Cream got cock-eyed.
"Um...I read it somewhere in the papers."
"You never heard of it, have you?"
Cream lowers her head.
"No."
"Oh. Anyway, legend has it that these chao drives can regenerate a chao. In other words, stamina, speed, strength, flying abilities, etcetra. Problem is, they never found it."
Cream slightly nods.
"Do you know where it is?"
"What do I look like, sherlock holmes?"
"Do you...know where it is? Yes or no."
Tails shakes his head.
"Okay, then. How did you obtain this information?"
"Knuckles told me once about 'em. When I was visiting him one time."
Cream nods.
"Oh."
"Oh." Tails mocked her before splashing water in her face.
"Oh!"
Cream spits the water from her mouth and glares at tails, who smirks wickedly.
"You're dead."
"Yeah?"
"You are so dead, foxboy!"
"Come and get it, girlfriend."
Tails strokes away and cream swims after him.
"I am not your girlfriend!"
"Then, how come --
Tails dives down from her and surfaces behind cream.
"How come you slept with me?"
"It was pure confidence!"
Cream swims after him while Tails swims away.
"Oh, come now. Let's not call it that."
"That's what it is. "
"I know but let's not call it that."
"Look, boy. You better stay where you are so I can catch you!"
"You gotta catch me in order for me to stay where I am!"
"Y-"
Cream stops swimming as Tails noticed and stopped.
"What?"
"Something passed my legs. It must be--"
"No, it's not."
"But--"
"Look, I'm no bullshitter. But you cannot bullshit a shitter. Now quit playing."
"I'm not playing! I'm telling you that there's a damn octopus in the water!"
Tails stammers before sighing. He gazes cream.
"An octopus. What would an octopus be doing in a fountain?"
"I think you should ask the octopus grooming your leg."
Tails desperately looks down the water and swims away.
"I know it ain't grooming my leg."
He kept his eyes at the spot that he was at not noticing that he was swimming straight to cream. He soon bumped into her before cream caught him.
"Tag!"
Tails gaze at cream and realized that she planned this as cream splashed water in tails face.
"Oh!"
Tails spit water from his mouth. Cream giggles. Tails noticed.
"Oh, you think that's funny, huh?"
"You see me laughing?"
"Yeah."
"Then it's funny."
"Get--"
Tails swims after cream, who got caught off guard as tails tackles her playfully. They both started laughing submerging each other throughout the water and playing tag. They soon stopped and were surfaced throughout the fountain. They gaze each other before slowing pressing their lips against each other's. Tongues danced throughout their mouths as they both rubbed against each other's naked bodies sensually. Tails was loving every minute of it even though he conned cream into getting in the water with him. Cream was somewhat loving it too even though she knew what tails was up to every time he mentions the words "It's gonna cost ya." But cream sees tails as someone who doesn't actually care for money. He sees him as much of an individual who likes to drink as much as she did. That's one thing they had in common. But sharing feelings for each other, that's another story. Tails is with Amy and that what concerns cream the most. But after the fault argument he and amy had, cream wasn't sure if they broke up or not. They soon released their lips from each other and slowly opened their eyes gazing each other.
"That...was very...intriguing."
"You think so?"
Tails paused, then nods.
"Yeah."
"Can I ask you a question? Is Amy your girlfriend?"
Tails sighs.
"Yeah. But she's the kind of person that wants a baby. So...in future, we might get married."
Cream sighs.
"So, you gonna marry her?"
Tails sighs.
"Yeah. (looks at her) Why? You wanna marry me?"
Cream chuckles.
"I'll pass."
Tails chuckles while cream eyed something sparkling a few feet in the water behind tails. Tails noticed, looks behind him, and back at cream.
"What?"
"You don't see it? Something's in there."
"What?"
Cream didn't answer tails as she surfaced below to the sparkling object. Tails followed along.
Underwater, they kept swimming and swimming til they both entered a cave. Cream soon saw the object a few feet above her as she swims toward it. Tails followed as he tried his best to seize from drowning. Cream swims forward, then surfaces up followed by a gasp for air. Tails surfaced too desperately gasping for air as cream looks around. Tails started coughing.
"Just what...(coughs) are we looking for?"
Cream didn't answer as she gazes forward and swims forward. She got on a platform of rocks where a medium size crystal was seen in the very mid point of the huge rock mountain. Cream climbs up there with tails following. Cream soon got to the top and gazes the crystal for a while. Cream can see the bluish crystal sparkle which matched her widen eyes. Tails noticed and before he could say a word..
"This is the chao drive, isn't it?"
"Yeah."
Cream slowly reaches for the crystal carefully as tails watches with caution. Cream's hand slowly approaches til she got her hand on the crystal and gently pulls. The crystal somewhat got released from the hole by cream's hand as if easily taking a sword from the stone. Tails went cock-eyed.
"That's it?"
Cream turns around and looks at the crystal, then at tails.
"Yeah. I guess that's it."
Both Cream and Tails walk down the rock mountain. Tails soon held cream back.
"Wait a minute."
"What?"
Tails shakes his head.
"It can't be that easy."
Before cream could say anything else, an earthquake emitted as debris of dirt started coming down. Cream and Tails look up the mountain to find it falling apart. Rocks falling from the mountain hurling after them.
"You ever get tired of talking too much!" Cream shouted
"Just run!" Tails shouted
Both Cream and Tails desperately ran down the collapsing mountain. Rocks were coming down one by one as they continued running. The water was in range of them as cream soon tripped on a rock.
"Aah!"
She kept hold on the chao drive while grabbing tails with her other hand yanking him along.
"Whoa!"
They both screamed as they started falling and falling. Cream soon hit her head at the end of the platform before she and tails hit the water. Tails noticed cream unconsciousness as he desperately grabs her and the chao drive which was released from her hand and started swimming away. A few rocks fell in the water while many barricaded the surface. Tails swimmed out the cave and desperately surfaced gasping for air. Still carrying cream, he swims to the ground. He laids cream on the ground and went and got his clothes before putting it on. He got cream's clothes and went back to her. He kneels by cream and placed her clothes down. He placed one hand on her nose closing it and the other on her chin performing CPR. He supplies air into her mouth before both hands on her chest and started pressing hard to get her breathing.
"Come on. Breathe. Breathe!"
Tails went and supplied more air to cream and did the same process. Tails was desperately getting worried as he performed a 3rd time. He started pressing her chest again and supplying air in her lungs. Suddenly, cream coughed out water followed by a few cough as she opened her eyes and saw tails looking at her.
"You alright?"
Cream slowly felt her forehead which had a scar and bleeding a tad of blood from it as she looked at her fingers with her blood on it, then at tails.
"Got a bandage?"
Tails nods and searched in his pocket. He took out a bandage and taped it on cream's wound. Cream whines a little.
"Careful, will you?"
"Sorry. There."
"Thank You. Now if you don't mind. I like to go in the bushes and change."
"Be my guest."
Tails turns around as cream got her clothes and went to the bushes to change. Tails eyes the chao drive in his hand.
"Beautiful looking crystal." Tails said to himself before eyeing some furries in front of him
The two furries in front of him were Enerjax, Sojourer, and a few DL Echidnas.
"Beautiful indeed. Too bad we have to take it." Enerjax said
Tails pockets the crystal-like emerald.
"Well, too bad you can't have it."
Sojourer starts approaching.
"I think you should reconsider."
"I don't think so."
Before he could say anything else, cream came out fully dressed.
"Tails, what's going o-"
She stops when she saw the predictament.
"Oh. Can I help you guys?"
"Well, yes you can, darling. You can give us the chao drive." Sojourer said
"Or else." Enerjax shot out
Cream eyes enerjax and smiles.
"Or else what?"
Enerjax was just about to approach cream, who raised her hands up not wanting to resort to violence but sojourer held him back much to her relief.
"Look, we don't want trouble. All we want is the chao drive. Is that so much to ask?"
"Why is this chao drive so important to you? Who wants it?" Cream asked even though she already knows what it's for and why they want it.
"That information is classified. Now kindly hand it over."
Tails leers to cream's ear.
"He did ask nicely."
"Stay outta this." Cream peeves before looking at sojourer
"Look, don't make it harder than it already is. Now if you don't hand it over, I'm going to have to take you in one way or the other."
Cream gazes straight at him.
"Are you threatening me, mister?"
Enerjax steps up.
"I wish it was a threat. As a matter of fact, (approaches closer) let's grant that wish, shall we?"
"We're not fighting."
"You're not fighting?"
"That's right. As in "No."
"What, are you scared?"
"That's not the point. You really don't want anything bad to happen to these guys and neither do I."
"I agree perfectly but--" Sojourer began to say before being cut off by Enerjax.
"Shit, no! We fight now!"
Cream raised her hands defenseless again.
"Please, don't."
But her plead didn't work as he rushed at her with a left hook. Cream dodges and jabbed him in the gut.
"Ugh!"
Enerjax grasps his stomach as the 1st and 2nd DL Echidna came at cream and Tails. Cream did not want to resort to this but was left with no choice as she and tails started trading blows with both echidnas and got them off easily. Cream noticed the guns in the echidna's pocket as she yanked them from the holster by the barrel. She turned and knocked the handle at a 3rd DL echidna's rib, then his head knocking him to the ground.
Tails dodged both right and left hooks from a 4th DL echidna before the echidna kicked to tails' gut.
(Slow-Motion)
Holding onto his arms, tails balanced himself flipping over the DL echidna at the same time letting go of his arms.
(Regular-Motion)
He lands on the ground with his back to the echidna before throwing a roundhouse to the echidna's gut. The DL echidna flown and skids on the water several feets before hitting the rocked canyon by the fountain and fell in the water.
Cream rushes to tails and grabs his hands.
"Let's go!"
They started making a run for it. Another DL echidna took out a gun. Sojourer saw it and held him down before it fired on the ground.
"No guns."
Enerjax, who was still grasping his stomach, got up and saw them. Before he could do anything, sojourer held him back.
"No. (smirks) I got a better idea."
