"Whoa, whoa, whoa," Sonia cried out as she and the others exited the fiery vortex.
"Man, I thought I was roast hedgehog for sure," Frost said before he and everyone else noticed their current states.
"Great. Now I'm a Leopardeer."
"At least you're not a lion/wolf hybrid. Look at me," Sonic said.
"Truthfully, you don't make a very good Simbalto," Frost said.
"A what?"
"Simbalto. A lion and a wolf combined. Come on, Sonic. Keep up."
"You've been hanging around Rocket for too long," Sonic said.
"A falcon and an alligator. Fitting. My boyfriend is an Eagledile."
"Let me think. I'm a Leopardeer, Sonic's a Simbalto, Sonia's a Falcongator, Sally's a Zebriger, Fiona's a Rhinorse, and Blaze's a Sharkguar. Today is just not my day," Frost said.
"Definitely seems like it isn't, Frost."
"You will not escape," Stine said, his voice ringing out from the now destroyed Mutation Room.
"Quick! Sonic, try to run!"
"I'm on it." Sonic then tried to use his super speed to run off only to find out his speed was gone.
"This just isn't right. I should be at least twenty miles away from Station Square by now," Sonic said.
"That is strange," Frost said.
"Wait. Of course. Frost, try to do what Sonic tried to do," Sally said.
"Sure, but I don't think it'll work." Frost then summoned all the power he had before running out of the building and to the outer limits of Station Square.
"Whoa. If I have Sonic's speed, then he should have my cyrokinesis," Frost said before running back into the building.
"Sonic, try to build an ice wall to block Stine."
"I'm on it." Sonic then focused all his power on blocking Stine before an ice wall appeared out of nowhere.
"This won't stop me!"
"Come on. We gotta move before...," Frost started before the Lobsterilla broke down the ice wall. "Something like that happens. Fiona, come on." Frost then scooped Fiona up into his arms before running off.
"Let me think," Sonic said two wings of solid ice formed on his back. "This is new. Blaze, let's go before they get to us."
"Right," Blaze said before jumping into Sonic's arms. Sonic then lifted off before flying out of the building and to safety.
"Sonia, come on. We can save Josh and Rocket later. Right now, we have to keep ourselves from getting captured," Sally said.
"You're right, Mom. Hold on," Sonia said before she and Sally disappeared in a flash of fire.
"Find them! They must not escape the city," Stine said.
Moments after disappearing from Stine's lab, Sonia and Sally reappeared in the sewer system beneath the Station Square streets.
"The sewers? That's the best you could think of?"
"It was the safest place I could think of, Mom."
"Well, I guess it's better than nothing," Sally said before Frost and Fiona ran up to them.
"The safest place you could think of."
"How'd you know," Frost asked as he lowered Fiona to the ground.
"Sonia thought of it, too," Sally said.
"I guess great minds think alike."
"They do indeed," Sonia said before Sonic and Blaze came up to them.
"Wait. Let me guess. The sewers were the safest place you could think of."
"Well, yeah. How'd you know," Sonic asked.
"You, Frost, and Sonia had the same thought," Sally said.
"I'm ashamed, but it was the best I could come up with. I'm sure Josh would have thought of it, too," Sonia said.
"I'm sure he would have, Sonia," Frost said, placing his left hoof on Sonia's shoulder.
"Thanks, Frost. You're a good friend."
"Don't you forget it."
"Okay. Before we can charge head-first back into Stine's lab, we have to come up with a strategy and a way to repair the machine Frost destroyed."
"It was the only way I could save all of us from being turned into personal servants for that nutball," Frost said.
"Maybe we don't need to repair the machine at all," Sonia said.
"What do you mean, Sonia," Sally asked.
"It's simple. We just need to grab a piece of the machine, mold into a DNA descrambler, and use on all of us so we can become what we once were."
"How'd you come up with that?"
"I guess it's because I've been around Josh for so long, Frost," Sonia said.
"Sonia's tactic actually sounds like it could work," Blaze said.
"All right. This is how the plan's gonna work." Everyone then gathered around to listen intently to Sonia as she laid out her entire plan to them.
