Icezer's Quest

Summery: When Rage goes missing and The Chaos Guardians are informed of Nix's return but when they discover Rage is unavailable his youngest brother Icezer decides to take his place.

A/N: Okay so I know all of my stories are focused on Rage. So I figured why not give Icezer the spotlight for once. He's kind of been like Rage's Luigi he's there as a brother but never gets his time to shine so here it is, Icezer's time in the spotlight.

Chapter 1: Substitute Chaos Guardian

(POV Icezer)

My name is Icezer Chaotic the Hedgehog and chances are you might have heard of my brother Rage before. He's the Chaos Guardian which is a big deal you know. He has protected Mobius many times from different threats. I am his youngest brother and I enjoy helping him with his tasks…because I know I couldn't do anything close to what he does on my own just being able to help is enough for me!

You might be wondering why that is relevant well truth is even I didn't know what was about to happen.

(Angel Island-1:00 PM)

"Tikal? Knuckles? Rage?" An icy blue hedgehog calls. It was Icezer the youngest of the three Chaotic children. Icezer was a slightly smaller hedgehog who as the name implied had and icy blue fur color. He had a yellow strip that when from the center of his eyes back along his top quill. Some messy silver hair and a small scar under his left eye from one of Nix's claws. Normally Icezer wore a simple dark grey T-shirt and a pair of silver shorts. His shoes were a solid black and his gloves were white. His arms and legs had stripes like shadows but they were yellow instead. "You guys here?" he calls as Tikal appears

"Good morning Icezer." She smiles "Are you looking for Rage?" she asks and the icy blue hedgehog nods "He's not here." She sighs "He's been gone for a while and we are worried about him."

"I'm sure he'll be fine." Icezer says

"So what brings you here?" Knuckles asks appearing

"Well I just finished a joint project with Miles "Tails" Prower and GUN on a defense system for their Air Fleet. So being done I want to come see how Rage was doing."

"Well last time we looked he and Christain left in a hurry something about Vlagh." Tikal says

"Oh…" Icezer sighs "Hope it's not too bad."

"Tikal!" a voice echoes as a golden wolf appears

"Chaotix?" she asks

"Where is Rage?" he asks "It is urgent."

"We haven't heard from him in weeks." She replies "Nor can we find him. What's wrong?"

"Nix is back again." Chaotix says and the group gasps "He must be stopped."

"But we don't even know where he is." Tikal says

"Then look for him!" Chaotix yells "This is of the upmost importance!"

"You think we haven't tried?!" Knuckles yells "We have looked all over Mobius! All over Shadow Mobius and all over Dark Mobius! We can't find him!"

"Then we are all doomed!" Chaotix sighs

"I-I'll go." Icezer says and the three look at him like he is insane

"What did you say Icezer?" Chaotix asks

"I will go and fight Nix." The icy blue hedgehog repeats

"Icezer-" Tikal begins

"If Rage cannot be found and he has been missing for a while it is likely he was captured!" Icezer says "If he cannot do anything then… I will."

"Icezer that is very brave of you but I am afraid that would just nor be possible." Chaotix sighs "Only a Chaos Guardian can defeat Nix."

"Wait what about a Substitute Chaos Guardian Chaotix?" Tikal asks

"No…" Chaotix says "We can't do that… out of the question."

"What do you mean Substitute Chaos Guardian?" Icezer asks

"A Substitute Chaos Guardian is a special position who would take the role of a Chaos Guardian should one not be available for a task. They are slightly weaker than a normal Chaos Guardian but have access to all of the same abilities and powers that normal Chaos Guardians do." Tikal explains "There hasn't been one in over 5,000 years though."

"Because we haven't needed one nor do we need one now!" Chaotix says

"Come on Chaotix you know very well if we don't take care of Nix posthaste then he might be too powerful for Rage alone to stop!" Tikal yells "If we are going to stop him we need to give Icezer a chance!" Chaotix looked at her silent for a moment he knew she was right… if they did not act fast then it was very possible that Nix could grow too powerful for one Chaos Guardian to deal with.

"Fine…" he finally agrees "We will make Icezer a Substitute Chaos Guardian."

"Wise choice." Tikal says looking at Icezer "Are you sure you are up for this?" she asks him

"Yeah…" Icezer replies softly "Let's do it."

"Come with me." Chaotix says leading Icezer through a portal and into a room. Icezer knew where he was… Rage's Chamber of Memories where a sword sat. "To be honest Icezer Rage always wanted to allow you a Blade of Chaos but… we never allowed him to give you one. But one of ours actually wanted to have you wield him… so I guess this is as good a time as any…"

"He wanted me to have a Blade of Chaos?" Icezer asks as a white feral wolf with bright glowing light blue eyes appears from the sword, a frozen mist surrounding him.

"Greeting Icezer Chaotic." He says in an echoing voice "My name is Hokkyoku ōkami or Arctic Wolf and I know you through your great brother the wielder of the legendary Ryuu Bureinjingukaosu. I have seen you assist him in battle and I was surprised to see you take up this task on your own. Please allow me to aid you in your quest."

"Hokkyoku ōkami…" Icezer echoes "Thank you." He looks at the wolf as it howls and returns to the sword.

"Alright Icezer take Hokkyoku ōkami from it's rest and accept the power it offers." Chaotix saysand slowly Icezer walks up to the handle. He looks back at Chaotix who nods and he slowly draws the blade. As he does so a cold wind fills the room and the icy blue colored sword is drawn and Icezer held it to the skies.

"Freeze… Hokkyoku ōkami" he says in mixed voice with the wolf's as the blade transforms. It now had a furry handle with what appeared to be the end of a grey wolf's tail coming from the bottom. The blade was made of solid, sharpened ice with little ice spiked on the edges of the blade. Around it a frozen mits. Icezer could feel the small chill from the blade as he felt the knowledge of Hokkyoku ōkami's abilities and mastery over the Elemental Chaos from of Icy Chaos flow into him. Soon after the blade returns to normal and Icezer dismisses the sword.

"Good luck Icezer." Chaotix says "You'll need it…"

"Thank you Chaotix….if I find Rage I will let you know." Icezer answers

"Please do Icezer and don't do anything too careless please." The old wolf replied

"Don't worry Chaotix leave it to me." The young hedgehog says as he disappears.

So should I continue? Yes or no? Please let me know!
