Chapter 4: Spiritual Training with a Shine Maiden.  

Cream was allowed to spend the night in Tikal and Knuckles' guest room. It was very early in the morning. Cream could still remember the conversation she had with her mother last night. Cream decided to go over it in her head before starting her day.

-Last Night…-

"Yes?" A very mature female rabbit's voice answers the phone.

"Hi mommy, it's me." Cream said slowly with a bit of nervousness in her voice.

"Oh my…Where have you been Cream sweetie? You haven't been home all day. Where are you?" Vanilla asks with great concern.

"I'm fine mom. I just went for a little walk. I'm staying with a friend." Cream tried to maintain a cool demeanor.

"Oh? Who is this friend?" Vanilla asks with great curiosity.

"Her name is Tikal. She is Knuckles' girlfriend." Cream takes in the sky of the night quickly before returning her focus back to her mother.

"When will you be home?" Vanilla asked.

"Tomorrow evening." Cream responded.

"Okay. Be careful and don't talk to strangers." Vanilla said sternly.

"Okay, I won't talk to anyone I know mommy. I love you." Cream had a small simile on her face.

"Okay. I love you too."  Vanilla replied as she hung up the phone.
Cream puts the phone down and crawls into bed with many thoughts on her mind. But they seem to disappear as her head hit the soft pillow.

-End of flashback-

Cream is finally done reviewing the events of last night, and finally raises out of bed slowly. She rubs her eyes to meet the sun. Cream had a good night's rest, even though she was way out passed her bedtime last night.

"I don't have all day Cream. Are you up?" Tikal calls for her from downstairs in the kitchen. They were in their very nice condo that was only 10 feet away from the Master Emerald.

Cream wasn't shaken by Tikal's sudden boom. "I'll be down there in a minute." Cream responded back to Tikal.

"Okay. I got you some training clothes for you. They should fit you just fine." Tikal goes back to making their protein shakes.

Cream quickly takes a bath, and puts on the orange sweatshirt and sweatpants that Tikal lay out for her. She did it very fast. She was serious about getting stronger. Anyways, after getting dressed she heads downstairs to enjoy, in her mind, a good breakfast.

"I'm so hungry. What is for breakfast, Tikal?" Cream asks as she makes her way downstairs rubbing her tummy.  

"Here," Tikal hands her a protein shake made of many vegetables. "This is breakfast." She downs her protein shake in one smooth motion.  

"Eh?" Cream was confused. But she took a sip of the strange drink.

"How is it?" Tikal asked.

Cream had a look of disgust on her face, but she able to keep it down. She had a sick look on her face. "Eww….What is this stuff? Where are the Bacon, Eggs, Waffles, and Pancakes?" Cream was taken aback by the choice of breakfast Tikal gave her.

"It's called a protein shake. This how you stay in shape and build muscle. Now hurry up and finish your shake so we can start our morning jog." Tikal does some stretching.

"O-okay," Cream suck it up, and downs the rest of the shake without spilling a drop.

"Good. Are you ready to go?" Tikal asked.

"Yes," Cream took a moment to gain her bearings, but she was ready for the rest of the day. She felt refreshed after drinking the protein shake and didn't feel sick like she was after the first sip.

"All right here's the plan. We're going to take a jog around the whole Mystic Ruin and some of Wind Valley." Tikal explained while she finished up her stretching. She was wearing white and orange sweatshirt and sweatpants. It was very different compare to what Cream was wearing.

"That's a lot." Cream felt overwhelm.

"It is only a lot if you think it's a lot. Now let's go." Tikal leads her out the door to begin their job.

"Okay. I'll do whatever it takes to become stronger." Cream follows her confidently.  

They made their way out. The morning sun beam on them happily. Cream and Tikal start their very long morning jog at very slow and steady pace. After a good hour, they were only 25% done with their jog, but both ladies work up a doable amount of sweat. By the time they reach the entrance to Wind Valley, Cream wanted to call it day but Tikal got behind and kept pushing her to keep going. They were at the halfway point of their jog when they exited Wind Valley to the other side of the Mystic Ruins.

"I feel like my legs are on fire." Cream said breathing heavily. She was sweating up a storm, and look like she was out of oxygen.

"That's a good thing. You'll get use to this." Tikal was sweating, but kept her breathing steady so it didn't bother her as much. She could do their morning jog route three times in a row if she wanted to.

Anyways, they made their way around the Mystic Ruins taking in small moments to enjoy the good breeze and the beautiful scenery. They finally make their way back to the Condo. Both girls were cover in sweat from head to toe. Tikal was standing up breathing in and out to regain her oxygen. Cream, on the other hand, was lain out on the living room floor of the Condo breathing heavily.

"Oh Come on now. It wasn't that bad." Tikal said with a huge simile.

"That…was…insane…" Cream said weakly.

"Stop being a baby. Look, I want you to go wash up, rest, and get change for sparring. I want to see what you can with the gloves on." Tikal heads to the kitchen.

"Okay…" Cream slowly gets up before making her way upstairs to the Guest room.

-A couple of minutes later-

Tikal leads Cream outside of the Condo one again to take her a small building that was 10 feet away from the Condo and 25 feet away from where the Master Emerald stood.  Cream follows Tikal into the gym, and was amazed how original the gym look compared to Rouge's gym. Everything looked used, even the ring seen some action as well. Everything in Rouge's gym looks so brand new.  She felt more at home in this gym.

"You like?" Tikal ask heading toward the Equipment Room.

"Yeah…." Cream was still in a state of shock.

Tikal came back and her attire was very different. She was wearing a type of dress similar to her normal dress. But this was made for boxing and only. She was also wearing a modified version of her sandals too. These sandals still had the same color scheme but they made it possible to have smoother movements. She finished her attire off with orange boxing gloves.

"Are you done being impressed yet? I would like to see what you got Cream." Tikal smashes her orange gloves together and gets in the ring.

"Uh…ok. But I don't have anything to fight in." Cream responded slowly.

"Don't make excuses. I made you some ring gear for you last night. Hurry up and put it on." Tikal growing slightly impatience started throwing practice combinations in the ring to stay loose.

"Ok." Cream makes her way to the Equipment Room.

A few minutes later Cream comes out in an orange boxing dress similar to her normal dress. She even had special boxing shoes similar to her normal shoes, which made it possible to help her work on that "fancy footwork".

"Grab some headgear. I don't want to hurt you." Tikal said pointing to a rack of headgear ranging from many different colors.

"Uh…What's that?" Cream asked while heading to the rack of headgear and picking up a pink one.

"I can't believe that she fought Rogue without any headgear. That is dangerous for someone her age!" Tikal thought. "It's supposed to protect certain parts of your head that would be heavy affected without that headgear protecting you." Tikal explained.

"Oh ok." Cream said as she slips on the pink headgear and finally got in the ring.

"Ok. I won't hold back. Try your best to keep up with me." Tikal gets into an orthodox stance.

"I'm ready." Cream gets into her fighting stance.
Tikal goes to ring the bell ringside.

*DING!*

"Time in!" Tikal gets back into her orthodox stance and approaches Cream. Cream got the memo and met her at the center ring with her guard up.
The action started slow with each girl getting a feel for the other. Well, it was more of Tikal getting a feel of Cream. Tikal already notices that Cream is very timid. So she throws a quick combination to her forehead to test her defense.

THUD! THUD! THUD! All shots met Cream's forehead with a very audible sound. Cream has her guard VERY wide. She staggers back with her guard down. Tikal sighs heavily, and keeps up the pressure with two popping jabs to the nose and a hard left hook to the cheek. That combination pretty much, not only sends her head back hard; but it also sends her crashing on her hip to the canvas.  Tikal stands over her.

"Are you even taking this serious?" Tikal said sternly.

"Ouch…I don't know." Cream said weakly rubbing her head.

"Get up and try to hit me this time." Tikal commanded her to do, while she took a few steps back to give her room to stand up.  

Cream is slow to get up, but she did get back up. Cream wanted to show Tikal she wasn't weak. They met at the center of the ring once again. But this time Cream threw a quick 1-2 to the forehead. Tikal simile a little and let the combination land to her forehead. It didn't hurt a lot or send her head back. She was just happy to see her finally throw some punches. Cream gains a little confidence and tried for a big right hook to the cheek to return the favor from the knockdown she suffer at the hands of Tikal.

THUD!!!!! The sound of Tikal's glove meeting Cream's right glove was heard instead. Tikal had successfully got her right glove in time to block the punch. She counters quickly with two quick left hooks to the body and powerful uppercut to the chin. Cream's body was rocked hard by the body shots from Tikal. But this time around she saw the uppercut coming. Cream sways to the right and uses her momentum from dodging the uppercut to release a powerful left hook to her liver by mistake. Tikal froze in place from the sudden burst of power from Cream. Her gloves drop as well. She was defenseless. Cream wasn't done though. She loaded up, and sent a powerful right uppercut to her chin.

"Kisser Uppercut!" Cream shouted.

Tikal's mouthpiece was sent flying, as she was sent to the mat on her back hard. She had her lights put out by a six year old girl.

"Are you ok?" Cream notices the damage she done to her sparring opponent and mentor Tikal. She didn't know where that power came from.

"W-w-w-hat did I just do?" Cream asks herself. And for some odd reason Tikal had a similed on her even though she was out cold. She must have made that smile before going to dream land.
