Last time on The Cold Truth.
Approaching a planet of cold...
"We've already arrive to a planet that has chaos emerald readings." said Chris.
...they are attacked and crash land onto the surface...
"Tails! Watch out!" shouted Sonic as he rushed towards him.
"What…" began the two-tailed fox.
The ship jolted and everyone was thrown around violently.
"What's going on?" inquired Knuckles as he slid across the floor grappling for something.
"We've been hit." responded Chris as he held onto a chair.
"Kind of obvious." spoke Rogue as she tumbled around.
"It's a Metarex ship." said Amy as she held onto a screen.
"But how did they get behind us?" asked Cosmo's daughter as she grabbed onto another chair.
"I'm not sure." replied the girl hedgehog.
"Prepare for emergency landing." spoke Tails as the Blue Typhoon tumbled towards the planet.
...and the crew is split up...
"Later." The hedgehog gave a wave without looking back.
He ran off leaving a trail of melted snow and water.
"Don't worry about us. We can take care of ourselves. Be careful out there." interrupted the boy.
...with one group finding the inhabitants...
"Cool it. I can hear people." spoke the girl bat.
...that talk of strange monsters attacking them...
"Who or what is Vampyria?" asked the plant girl.
"No one is sure, but the legend is that it used to be one of us." responded the woman.
"One of you?" Knuckles was interested now.
"Back in the old days we used to have bat partners. We worked together to survive. Food was scarce, but out of the blue things got worse. Our climate suddenly dropped into a winter nightmare. We had no clue what to do so a youngling said he would take his bat and find the source of the problem. He never came back. Since then Vampyria appears to attack the village. It's believed that he died with his partner and their very beings fused together." replied the woman.
...which leads them to hunt down the Metarex base...
"We storm the Metarex base." responded Knuckles.
...where the Metarex leader lies in wait to destroy them...
"Master. It appears that they have arrived." stated the Metarex as it stared at the ceiling.
"Yes it does. Let's head to that location." agreed the Metarex leader as it headed towards the exit.
...but they survive the darkness and treachery to look towards a better future.
The last words she heard him speak was: "Traitor."
He looked up to the ceiling knowing there had to be cameras. "Damn it. Come here yourself so I can end you permanently."
"I'll kill you. I'll kill you." It had become the Metarex's mantra.
"The reason I came after you was to talk to you and stop you." Sonic glanced away. "My friends may not understand me, but I won't hurt them anymore."
The inhabitants laughed and danced with the Blue Typhoon's crew as bats hanged overhead.
