Episode 15: Three Mission at Once Part 2 - The Big Melt
In the frozen arctic area, in a large secret base, Dr. Eggman along with his robots are waiting as they see a submarine rises from the sea. When the submarine is above the surface, the hatch opens from the top. Coming out of the submarine are Bocoe and Decoe.
Eggman asks, "Is the Plant Operational?"
"The Plant is ready to power up sir," Decoe says.
"Excellent," Eggman says with a sinister smile.
He then brings out the watch, "In Forty Eight hours, all of Mobius will be underwater. It's going to drive Sonic right out of his little rodent mind."
"Yeah. Because Sonic can't swim. Sounds like fun," Bokkun says, flying over.
"It will be, but what about Eve. She can swim and use her powers," Bocoe says.
Eggman presses the button on his watch, "Don't worry, I have plans for her."
Eggman presses another button and maniacal laughs. In a different part of the base, the machine activates. In one of the tubes, a purple glowing object begins to form, and is sending something like bowling water up the pipe. Robots watch the machine as doing so. The pipes travel up and begins to boil the water close to the icebergs of Walrus Island. Soon, the icebergs begin to melt.
Traveling through the sky of the Northern Tundra, Sonic, Manic, Amy, and Rotor fly in the X Tornado to find the Arctic Freedom Fighters. They fly through the harsh snow storm. In the ship, Sonic, Amy, and Manic are wearing their snow gear, while Rotor isn't wearing at all. Being a Walrus from the Arctic, the cold weather has no effect.
Sonic says, "Burr! It's so cold. It feels like it's fifty below zero."
"Well, you better brace yourself Sonic, it's gonna get a lot colder than this," Rotor says.
"Oh, I can't wait," Sonic says, rolling his eyes.
The group continues to fly over the mountains and through the snowstorm. Finally. They are able to find a safe place to land. They land at the location where the Arctic Freedom Fighters supposed to meet. Sonic looks through the binoculars to find them.
"See anything cuz?" Manic asks.
"Hmm. I don't see any of the Arctic Freedom Fighters. They should be here by now," sonic says.
Amy looks at her computer, "That's strange."
"What is it?" Manic asks.
"According to the temperature, it's about 15 degrees warmer than normal for this time of year," Amy says.
Sonic zips over, "So what does that make it, only 50 below."
"Minus 20 degree Celsius to be exact. It's weird. The temperature shouldn't be this high. And from the looks of it, it's starting to increase," Rotor says.
"But that's impossible," Amy says.
"Not if Dr. Eggman is involved. I have to wonder what he will be doing in this humongo freezer. Doesn't make sense," Sonic says.
"Maybe he wants like to melt the ice caps or something," Manic says, making a snowball
"Melt the ice caps?" Amy says confused.
"So sue me," Manic says, throwing the snowball.
Suddenly, someone screams, "Hey!"
The group turn their heads to see a purple seal with a snowball on her head.
Manic nervously laughs, "Oops. Sorry."
"Hi Sealia," Rotor waves.
"Rotor, it's great to see you," The seal says, and gives Rotor a hug.
Then the rest of the Arctic Freedom Fighters arrive.
"Hey Flip, long time no see," Manic says.
"Back at ya, Manic," The penguin, Flip says.
Erma Emine says, "Glad you all came. Something strange is happening."
"I'm guessing it has something to do with the increase in temperature," Sonic suspects.
"You're right, Augustus and Erma noticed the water bubbling," Guntiver says.
Augustus says, "We can really use your help."
"That's why we're here. The Freedom Fighters of Knothole are here to help," Amy says.
"Thanks," Sealia happily says.
Guntiver points over, "That's where we saw the submarine serviced. Out near the end of the big ice floe."
"And so much closer to home," Rotor says.
Amy then notices, "Hey guys, the water is boiling."
Erma, Sealia, and Amy look at the edge to see the water boiling and surprisingly, steaming.
"What? How is that possible?" Erma asks.
Suddenly, the ice burst out of a hole, sending Manic falling to the ground. Manic sits up and walks to the hole to see steam coming out of it.
Manic calls out, "Yo guys, check this out!"
Sonic and the others hurry over.
"What's up?" Sonic asks.
"Steam?" Manic answers.
The two Freedom Fighters look down to see the steam coming out of the hole and water boiling.
"Boiling water? Just like what's happening out there," Sonic says.
"That has to be Dr. Eggman's doing," Rotor says.
Suddenly, they hear cracking sounds and quickly turns to see the ice is beginning to break.
"This is bad," Manic says.
"Really bad," Sonic says.
Then Rotor says, "We need to head back to the X Tornado."
The two Freedom Fighters hurry to the X Tornado. The boys stand at the wings with Rotor taking the wheel. The girls remain inside the ship. Rotor presses the buttons and pull the lever to the X Tornado and fly out before the ice shatters to pieces.
Sonic sighs, "Phew. That was too close!"
Amy holds out the computer and says, shocked, "The temperature is continuing to rise, soon it will be at the positive levels. The Northern Tundra will warm up."
"It will get worse. Seems to me that Dr. Eggman will flood all of Mobius is this place melts," Rotor adds.
The others become shocked to hear the information. Mobius will be underwater if the ice melts.
Flying on the X Tornado, the two group of Freedom Fighters are making their way to Walrus Island. Excluding Rotor, who is still driving, the rest of the Freedom Fighters are still shocked to see the water continues to bowl like water being boiled in a kettle. As the water boils, the ice begins to break and drift out to sea.
"Man! The water is really boiling out here," Sonic says.
"No kidding. I never seen anything like it. It makes it had for Sealia and me to swim," Flips says.
"Or any Arctic Mobian for that matter, bro," Manic says.
"We gotta do something or the Arctic Tundra is going to melt away," Amy says.
"We'll have to make a stop at Walrus Island to come up with a plan," Erma says.
Rotor holds the wheel, "Right. Walrus Island is coming to view."
Rotor continues to fly the plane to see a humongous island coming to view. The island has multiple walrus who lived in buildings that are made of ice and snow. However, because of the boiling water, the homes are starting to melt and water begin to form.
"Looks like the melting is already starting in Walrus Village as well," Augustus says.
Guntiver places his hand under his chin, "What can Dr. Eggman gain by melting the Frozen Tundra. Other than flooding all of Mobius."
"And I will not like that," Sonic says, feeling weary.
Sealia asks, "Are you okay, Sonic? You don't look so good."
"I'm fine… just that… water and myself don't really mix," Sonic says, starting to shake a little.
"The problem is that Sonic doesn't like water very much. He's kind of scared to go near it because he can't swim," Amy says.
"Yeah. Cuz is a runner not a swimmer," Manic says.
Rotor begins to wonder, "You don't think he's also doing this to be sure Sonic can't fight because of his lack so aquatic swimming."
"I wouldn't put it past him," Amy says.
"We can worry about that later. I see a place for us to land," Guntiver says.
Rotor flies the X Tornado down as he tries to be sure the ship's engines don't melt off the ice more. Once the X Tornado is safely on the ground, Rotor turns off the engine and opens the button to open the hatch. Sonic and the others hop off the plane and begin to head toward the village close by. Not long, the Two Freedom Fighter Group reach Warlus Village. Sadly, the place is starting to melt.
"This looks really bad. The village is already starting to melt," Sonic says.
"This is terrible. The village will be flooded at this rate," Amy says.
"Don't worry, I won't let my home town melt away. We'll think of something," Rotor says.
"Right you are, mate," Guntiver says.
Suddenly, they hear someone shouts, "Rotor! Rotor!"
Everyone looks ahead to see a young walrus running to them. He looks almost like Rotor, but shorter and wears a red and white striped propeller beanie on his head.
"Skeeter!" Rotor happily says, and runs to the little walrus.
The two walruses run to each other and give each other a hug.
"It's great to see you big brother," The little walrus, Skeeter says.
"You too. You sure have got bigger since the last time I saw you," Rotor says.
"I missed you, Rotor," Skeeter says.
"Me too,"Rotor says.
Then Skeeter says, "Rotor, something's wrong. The village is starting to melt."
"That's why we're here. We're going to put a stop to it before the Frozen Tundra melts away," Sonic says.
Skeeter turns to see the rest of the Freedom Fighter.
"Sonic, guys. The Arctic Freedom Fighters! I didn't know you were here too," Skeeter says.
"We sure are, and we're here to help," Manic says.
"That's great to hear. Everyone is starting to get worried. My mom tried to calm everyone down, but nothing worked. I'm sure that since you are here, you can ease everyone's worries," Skeeter says.
"It will make things better if we split up and take care of the situations," Augustus.
"I was thinking the same thing. Sonic, you, Manic, and Amy will go with Flips and Sealia. They know their way from land and sea," Guntiver says.
"Sounds good to me," Amy says.
Then hugs the blue hedgehog, "Especially since I get to be with Sonic."
"Uh Amy, remember we're on a mission, not a date," Manic says with a straight face.
"Right," Amy says, and yet continues to hug Sonic anyway.
Sonic rolls his eyes, "Oh brother."
Sometime later, Sonic, Manic, Amy, Sealia, and Flips are walking across the ice plain to find the answer to the sudden warm weather in the Frozen Tundra. The snow doesn't seem to be falling as much, and the ice continues to break apart as the water boils.
"The water continues to boil by the minute," Amy says.
Sonic says, "Hmm, we need to figure out where Eggman's base is."
"How do we plan on doing that cuz? It's not like a ride can just rise up from the ocean," Manic says.
Right on cue, a large submarine rises from the boiling water much to the Freedom Fighter's shock. Coming out on the deck are Dr. Eggman along with Bocoe and Decoe.
"Whoa! Never expected one to come at this point," Sealia says.
"And there's Eggman and his robots," Amy says, wanting to punch them in the face.
"Let's hurry on before it leaves," Flips says.
Sonic grabs Manic and Amy and speed through the snow. Flips and Sealia ride on their bellies that they speed fast. The three continue to accelerate at their own way, and jumps off the ramp close by. They fly over the sea and land on the submarine. The group hide behind the deck where Eggman and his robots are to hear the conversation.
"Engage three minutes sir," Decoe says.
Dr. Eggman looks around to see the ice and snow are melting and breaking apart.
Dr. Eggman asks, "How high is the water risen?"
"Another nine meters sir," Bocoe says.
"Excellent it won't be long now," Dr. Eggman says.
The submarine continues to drive towards a large iceberg. Suddenly, a hatch opens up and the submarine travels inside. Then the sub comes to a stop.
Amy whispers, "So this is where Eggman's lair is at?"
"Yeah. In a giant icy freezer," Sonic mutters.
Suddenly, Manic lets out a sneeze.
"Goncintight Doctor," Bocoe says.
"I didn't sneeze," Eggman says, turning to the robot.
He then look at Bocoe and then to Decoe.
"Don't look at me, sir," Decoe says.
"None of us sneeze. Then again. I don't think we can sneeze," Decoe says.
They then turn to Bokkun who is sitting on the ground eating a bag of popcorn. Bokkun stops to see the mad doctor and robots looking at him.
"It wasn't mean," Bokkun says.
Eggman angrily says, "Well someone sneezed."
Dr. Eggman and his robots look back to figure out who has sneezed.
Eggman demands, "Alright, come out whoever you are, and we will make this easier for you."
Coming out of the hiding place are Sonic and the Freedom Fighters.
Sonic grins and says, "Surprise!"
Back in the Walrus Village on the island, Rotor and the Arctic Freedom Fighters are doing what they can to help keep the village from melting away. They carry snow in sleighs and use them to cover the igloos. Rotor and Guntiver talk to Rotor's mother, Georgette. Yet, his mom is hugging him because she really missed him.
"Oh Roty, I missed you so much. I'm glad you were able to come," Georgette says, hugging him.
"I'm glad too mom," Rotor says, hugging his mom.
They both release the embrace to talk about the situation.
Skeeter says, "We're all glad you and your friends are able to come and help."
"Our troubles aren't over yet. We still need to wait to see what Sonic and the others have found," Guntiver says.
Rotor says, "Don't worry, I'm sure the rest of the Freedom Fighters will be able to get to the bottom of it."
"I hope they won't run into trouble," Guntiver says, slightly concerned.
In Dr. Eggman's new lair, everything isn't okay. Sonic and the others are cornered by Dr. Eggman's robots with Eggman, Bocoe, Decoe, and Bokkun standing close in front.
"Nice of you and your friends to drop by Sonic, but I didn't think you like cold wet places," Eggman says.
The swatbots walks forward holding their blaster.
Sonic says, "I don't but sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do."
"And what might that be?" Eggman remarks.
"Yeah what?!" Bocoe and Decoe ask.
"I'd rather show than tell," Sonic says.
Bokkun laughs, "Yeah right."
Sonic holds out his hand, "Amy! Manic!"
Manic and Amy take Sonic's hand. Amy makes her hammer appear in her hand. Sonic then spins himself and the others around to form a large tornado. Before the robots can do anything, they are knocked out of the way. Dr. Eggman and Bokkun scream to see the large tornado is heading right towards them. Soon, they are both bounces out of the way and land on the ground. Sonic then grab Flips and Sealia and speed off. Eggman sits up and groans as he holds his head.
Bokkun sits up and his eyes are spinning like crazy, "Did someone get the name of that tornado."
Then Bokkun flops to the ground.
Meanwhile, Rotor and the other Freedom Fighters are doing their job to help out the Walrus of the village. So far, their snow idea hasn't been helping. The ice and snow is melting quicker than before.
Erma walks over to Guntiver, "The snow and ice aren't holding out. Soon, Walrus Island will be washed away."
"This is bad. The underwater homes are already melted away while the igloos aren't able to last longer," Guntiver says, concern about the conditions.
"We need to figure out what's causing this big meltdown," Augustus says.
In Dr. Eggman's lair, he along with Bocoe and Decoe are standing in front of the machine that is making the water boil and steam coming out from the tubes. This is the cause of all the trouble.
Eggman groans angrily, "I should have known Sonic and his meddling Freedom Fighters will show up sooner or later."
The points his finger to Bocoe and Decoe, "I want you to send every Swatbot and Badnik to search around to find the hedgehog and the Freedom Fighters! Make sure you send some to guard the machine! They must not get in this room!"
"Yes sir," Bocoe and Decoe salute and hurry off.
Back on the island, Rotor, his family, and the Arctic Freedom Fighters see a sleigh riding across the sea. Sealia and Flips are pulling Sonic, Amy, and Manic on a small sleigh. They soon jump on the snow and ride back to the village. The three hedgehogs hop off the sleigh while Sealia and Flips let go of the rope. Rotor and the rest of the Arctic Freedom Fighters hurry to them.
"Sonic. Guys. You're alright," Rotor says.
"Great to see you, but we got major bad news. You were right, eggface is trying to flood the whole world! We gotta move fast!" Sonic says.
Sometime later, the Knothole Freedom Fighters and the Arctic Freedom Fighters slide down an ice slide. The group reaches a part of the secret ice lair that is under the ice.
Sonic touches the ice, "The heating plant is right on the other side of the wall."
"You sure Sonic? I thought it was down a little farther," Manic asks.
Sonic turns his head, "My sense of direction is perfect. This is it."
Sonic then begins to use his spin dash to create a hole in the wall of ice. He then creates a tunnel. Suddenly Sonic has been sprayed out with water. Sonic lands on the ground and spits some water out of his mouth.
Amy kneels down to Sonic, and asks, "Are you alright, Sonic?"
"I hate water," Sonic mutters.
Sometime later, Sonic has been spin dashing multiple holes on the ice wall. Amy and the others wait a while as Sonic is drilling another hole close by.
"It's on the other side of this wall. I can feel it," Sonic calls out from the hole.
"Yeah right," Amy says, rolling her eyes.
In a room, there is a large machine that has tubes full of water and attached to machines and pipes. Sonic is able to see the machine that is guarded by a Swatbot. Sonic quickly ducks his head back in the hole and zips back to reach the others.
Sonic jumps out and says, "I found it, but there is a problem. Whole Factory is lined with laser guns and Swatbots."
"So what's the plan?" Manic asks.
Sometime later, Sonic peaks out of the hole and use his speed to get in the room. Sonic speeds through the lasers, causing them to activate. The lasers end up hitting the Swatbots and begin to blow them to bits. Sonic speeds around so fast that the laser are hitting the ice. The ice shatters and are smashing at the lasers. Sonic speeds back to Amy and Manic.
"Explosives!" Manic says.
"That was amazing Sonic," Amy says.
"Was there any doubt," Sonic says.
Once the lasers are taken care of, The Freedom Fighters put explosive devices on the machine and the pipes and tubes. They set the timer on the explosive to go off and give them enough time to leave.
Rotor places the last timer, "That's the last one."
Manic says, "Let's signal Sonic and bail."
Erma signals Sonic by giving making a loud whistling sound that goes around the area. In one of the tunnels, Eggman and his robots are riding on the Eggmobile. They hear the strange whistling sound and wonder what it is.
But then they hear, "Some free advice, Egg Breath and dumbbots."
Eggman and his robots turn around to see Sonic standing on the hovercraft.
"Go back to your submarine and go home, cuz, this dump is gonna blow sky high," Sonic says.
He looks at his watch and says, "Five minutes and change."
Sonic then speeds off.
"Doctor, what are we gonna do?" Deoce asks.
"I don't think he's joking," Bocoe adds.
Eggman shouts, "Let's get out of here."
Sonic and the Freedom Fighters hurry through the tunnel and out of the iceberg. At the same time, Eggman and his robots ride on the hovercraft out of the iceberg secret base. When the timer goes off, the whole iceberg blows up into pieces.
Eggman screams in anger, "I hate that Hedgehog!"
Sometime later, Walrus Island is all cooled down and the village is saved. They spend their time helping fix the houses and the base of the Arctic Freedom Fighters. It has taken them some time, but they are able to fix everything. Soon, they are at the X Tornado getting ready to head for home.
"Thanks mate. The Frozen Tundra is safe from Eggman for the time being," Guntiver says.
"Glad we can help. If you need us, just let us know," Sonic says.
Sonic turns to see Rotor hugging his mom and his little brother to say goodbye.
"I'll miss you," Georgette says.
"I will too, but don't worry. I visit again very soon," Rotor says.
Skeeter asks, "Hey Rot., you think I can visit you in New Mobotropolis?"
"Sure," Rotor says.
Suddenly, they hear laughing. They look up to see Bokkun carrying a bag.
Sonic groans, "Oh no. Not him again."
Bokkun lands on the ground and takes off his bag, "I've got a message for you. Here."
Bokkun takes the TV out, "It's from Dr. Eggman of course."
"What else is new?" Amy questions, rolling her eyes.
Bokkun turns on the television to reveal Dr. Eggman.
Eggman says, "You think you've defeated me, but I'm still in command here."
The Freedom Fighters give Eggman a displeasing glare.
On the TV, Eggman says, "And to prove it… I'm going to… uh, have Bokkun here perform a little tap dance."
Bokkun feels weary about Eggman's order. The little robot puts the TV in his bag and performs a tap dance routine. Bokkun slouches his head and shoulders, feeling humiliated.
Then cries, "Oh! How embarrassing!"
Bokkun then takes the bag and flies away as he feels like dying of embarrassment.
Manic asks, "What was that all about?"
Sonic simply shrugs his shoulders in reply.
After the weird event, Rotor and the three hedgehogs are in the X Tornado as they say goodbye to the Arctic Freedom Fighters and Rotor's family. Rotor flies the X Tornado into the sky and are making their way back to New Mobotropolis.
