"... Damn these memory's... I can't stand the guilt of letting them kill....Maria..." I said to myself. So I walked over to the kitchen, got a glass of water then found a bottle of sleeping pills. I put all the remaining pills in my mouth and drank a little bit of the water to help swallow them. Almost instantly I began to feel dizzy. The cup slipped from my grasp, hit the floor and shattered, and I blacked out.

Sonic was running to get to Shadow's apartment with Tails and Knuckles. The sun seemed.... brighter....but Sonic didn't really mind that. But then the sun blinded everybody around them and Sonic slipped backwards, his hand in front of him. "What the---" Sonic was cut off because before he could say 'hell' his entire body got covered in ice, along with many others around them. "Son--" Tails was frozen before he could finish. Knuckles was frozen right after Tails was. The entire city was now nothing but see through ice. The light finally dimmed, and the sun was black... Black creatures came from the shadows and looked at all the frozen citizens, until they found Sonic. They checked his pulse. His heart was STILL BEATING... They clawed at the ice holding Sonic to the ground until it was all gone, then they dragged him off, into the shadows...

When I woke up, I felt like I was in Antarctica. "What the hell??" I said drowsily as I got up. I looked out the window, and saw nothing but ice, underneath it was the city and ground, even the outside of my apartment was frozen! The only thing I could think of to say was "...Did I sleep through Summer?" Then I looked at the chipped Chaos Emerald (It was missing a piece) on the coffee table. "It must have kept me alive.." I said under my breath. I went over to the coffee table and grabbed the Chaos Emerald with one hand, and on my other I snapped my fingers. Then the Chaos Emerald disappeared into my body; it actually made me feel warm although it was probably -90000000 out there. I was thinking of putting my 'spike gel' on to put my spikes up, but the 'spike gel' is moist, so my spikes would probably freeze. So I left that. Then I went to my closet and grabbed a shotgun, just to be safe. I walked to the door, cocked my shotgun, and said "...Lets shoot some shit."
