Team Sonic

Team Rose is a group consisting of Amy Rose, Cream the Rabbit (with Cheese), and Big the Cat, which has come together on a number of occasions.

Formation
The team was first formed by Amy Rose with Cream, Cheese and Big when they realized that they where all after a common goal: Sonic the Hedgehog, who had supposedly kidnapped Cheese's brother Chocola and Big's best buddy Froggy. After taking a series of adventures together across various locations, the group finally encountered the true mastermind behind this ruse: a self-reprogrammed Metal Sonic, who proceeded to attack Team Rose and the other heroes in its Metal Overlord form. However the transformed robot was no match for the power of teamwork, and each member where soon reunited with their loved ones. (VG: SH)

Pirate Problems
Half of the team was later reformed after Amy, Cream and Cheese inexplicably wound up in the Sol Zone, Blaze's native dimension. Blaze joined the group and, after learning that their new teammate had only one Sol Emerald left to recover, the trio readily joined her aboard the Ocean Tornado as she sought it out. Aided by Marine the Raccoon and the Coconut Crew, they eventually zeroed in on the Emerald's location: the Metal Marauder, which they engaged in battle. Despite the determined efforts of the heroes, the pirates possessed superior armament, and also carried two unexpected old enemies: Bean and Bark, who like the three heroes had been transported to the Sol Zone. Blaze managed to board the pirate vessel, but the ship's cruel master, Captain Metal, destroyed the Ocean Tornado anyway after the crew had abandoned it, seemingly putting an end to Amy, Cream, Cheese, and Marine while capturing Blaze.

Fortunately for Blaze, who was taken to Pirate Island as a prisoner, her friends survived the destruction of the Ocean Tornado and soon came to her rescue. They were forced to pursue Johnny after the mechanical pirate stole the Sol Emerald from Bean and Bark, who had previously stolen it from Captain Metal. Commandeering the Metal Marauder and its crew, Team Rose pursued Johnny to his rendezvous with the ship carrying his master, Captain Whisker. The two ships were then attacked by Captain Metal's Kraken, which was destroyed thanks to Bark and Bean allying with the heroes. However, the resulting explosion knocked the Sol Emerald into the sea, where it was caught by the arriving Captain Metal as his submarine emerged from the depths. A three-way battle ensued, eventually leading to Whisker fleeing with the Marauder's crew added to his own as he sank Metal's former vessel. Captain Metal managed to power up his Egg O' War battle station, but Amy and Cream managed to release Blaze after he captured her again. Using the power of the Sol Emeralds, Blaze transformed into Burning Blaze and defeated Captain Metal twice, first by melting his body and then sinking the Egg O' War after he uploaded himself into it. Victorious, Blaze thanked her friends and allies from the Prime Zone by sending them home. (SU: #56, #57)

Further Adventures
Some time later, Team Rose would be formed again-with Big returning to his original spot-for a training mission aboard the Sky Patrol in tandem with Team Freedom and Team Fighters. (SSD: #11)
