"I'm telling you, Fi. Something happened to Rocket and I'm willing to wager that Eggman's at the center of it all," Frost said as he and Fiona sneaked around the corridors of Eggman's HQ. Frost had figured Eggman had something to do with Rocket's sudden disappearance and he wanted to see if his theory was right or not. Fiona came along so she could tell the rest of Team New Mobotropolis what she and Frost had seen. After the Mecha Rocket event, Scourge and Fiona were made members of Team New Mobotropolis by Rocket. Sally and Sonic originally deagreed, but then came to an agreement.
"I trust you, Frost, but you're taking this way too far. Rocket isn't here. You just have to acknowledge that, hon," Fiona said.
"I know what I'm talking about, Fi. Rocket made me into what I am. He's in trouble and I'm just the hedgehog to help him out."
"But what if he isn't here at all?" Frost stopped short before turning around with a serious look on his face.
"Then I'll scour the entire planet if I have to. Rocket's in trouble and I have to find him no matter where he is," Frost responded.
"Wow. Rocket must mean a lot to you if you're willing to explore the entire planet," Fiona commented.
"He is. He swore he would bring Leaf back to me. He delivered on that promise and brought her back. He asked me what to do about Scorch once he had him on the ropes. I said to spare him and he did just that. Rocket's my best friend and I'm his best friend. Ask Sonic about what he would do if Tails or Chip went missing. I'm sure he'll say the same thing I did."
"You're right, Frost. I'm so sorry for doubting you."
"All is forgiven, Fiona. Here," Frost said before pulling out a communicator. "You might need this to keep contact with me."
"Thanks," Fiona said as she took the communicator.
"You're welcome, Fi," Frost said before pulling Fiona in closer for a kiss. After two minutes, their lips separated and Frost ran off in one direction. Fiona ran off in the opposite direction and they both started the exploration of Eggman's HQ.
"Frost better be right about Eggman being involved in Rocket's disappearance." Fiona continued walking until she saw sparks coming out from under one of the doors on the right side of the hallway. She knew she couldn't sneak in without risking being found. Fiona had to find another way to see what was going on in the room. She looked around the hallway and stopped on an air vent near the door. She carefully unscrewed the bolts from the grate, moved it aside, and crawled into the vent. When she made it to the vent in the room, she looked down and saw a robotic duplicate of Rocket being worked on.
"I don't believe it. Frost was right. Something happened to Rocket and Eggman is at the center of it all. I gotta tell him," Fiona said before pulling out her communicator and turning it on. "Frost, this is Fiona. Pick up."
While Fiona found out about the robotic duplicate of Rocket, Frost was watching SWAT Bots and waiting for them to do something. He was close to finding something when his communicator buzzed. He pulled it out, ducked, and turned it on.
"Fiona, what's going on," he asked.
"I found something interesting," Fiona responded.
"Where are you?"
"In the vents. Take the nearest one and keep going until you see me."
"I'm on it," Frost said before he sneaked past the SWAT Bots. He walked over to a vent, pulled the grate off, and crawled inside. He kept going around the vents until he saw a fox tail waving in the cool air. He crawled around and over to Fiona.
"Hey, beautiful."
"What took you so long," Fiona asked.
"Just took a little longer than expected because I was a little far from you," Frost said.
"At least you're here."
"So what's going on? What'd you find, Fi?"
"Look down and tell me what you see," Fiona simply said. Frost looked down and saw the same robotic duplicate of Rocket Fiona had found.
"What is going on," Frost asked.
"I'm pretty sure that's the Rocket that robbed that bank."
"If you rob a bank, you're bound to land in jail."
"That's what happened to your friend," Fiona said.
"Jail," Frost asked. Fiona simply nodded in response to Frost's question.
"But it doesn't make any sense. There would've been a report on Rocket being arrested."
"What if he was arrested, but brought to an off-world prison?"
"Now, that makes sense," Frost said.
"We gotta tell the others," Fiona said.
"Good plan. Let's go." Frost and Fiona then crawled through the vents until they found the way out.
