A cold wind whipped over the landscape. Amy was shivering as she strolled the icy grounds of the Icecap. Her dress and boots offered little in the way of protection from the cold or the wind. The storm was here too, causing massive amounts of snow to fall. Amy looked around desperately for shelter, as the temperature continued to drop to well below freezing. The baron landscape showed no signs of shelter. There was nothing but icy plains as far as the eye could see. She couldn't see too far, but it wouldn't matter, the cold would soon claim her.

She stopped walking, ready to give up. Why did she have to be transported here, to this barren waste? She fell over and lay still. She lay on the ground, fully expecting to die. Then she noticed something, the ground was warm! Summing all her energy she stood up, and got out her pico pico hammer. In one final swing Amy hit the ground hard. There was a craking sound as she fell over and dropped the hammer. She felt the ground give way, but she couldn't see anymore. She fell into the blackness of a cavern below. Amy landed on a large rock. Her hammer fell onto some small rocks in front of the bolder she was on. The bolder started to slide down into the abyss, carrying Amy and the hammer with it. The last thing Amy knew was a sudden stop in the movement of the rock. Then she passed out.

Amy, much to her own surprise, came to in a warm chamber. Water was dripping on her as she slowly sat up. Her vision slowly returned to her as she sat on the boulder. A pool of water lay nearby. She got off the boulder and then slipped on the ice. Slowly Amy remembered she was in the icecap. Crawling carefully she got to the water. The taste of the water refrehed her. Now she looked around, she was in an underground cavern with a heat source. She saw the deep trail that the bolder had cut, and it let to a caved in opening.

Amy looked into a bigger pool on the far end of the chamber. The water in the pool was warm as an ocean. There seemed to by an ice incrusted hole on the lower wall. Going back to the bolder she retrieved her hammer. She then returned to and dived into the pool. She got to the bottom and hit the ice wall with all her might. The ice shattered revealing an opening. The water in the pool rushed into the tunnel that lay beyond. Helpless to do anything Amy went tumbling through the tunnel.

The water gushed out of the tunnel into a tall cavern, throwing Amy clear. Amy grabbed a large icecle on the ceiling to avoid falling into the black oblivian. "I'm in a fix now," she thought, "Soaking wet in a freezing enviroment. Just my luck." Amy then saw her pico pico hammer fall out of the hole, and fall down, down, and down. She lost sight of it as it fell towards the cavern floor. A full minute later she heard it hit the floor, wherever that was. The sound wave shook the icecle Amy was hanging on. Amy panicked as she heard a cracking sound. She tried to scramble up the iclecle, but the slick sides and her wet gloves prevented it. The iceicle broke off, send Amy and itself plugging into the blackness.

Darkness enveloped Amy as she fell, down into the abyss. She kept a hold of the iceicle, and somehow managed to stay on top. The icelce struck the flor on its side. Amy fell of the icle as she started to slide down the pit, its surface was slanted. The dry air had dried her out by the time she reached light. As she slid down the ice slide an erie sunlight started to penetrade the blackness. The soft glow grew to the point where she could see her surroundings. She was traveling very fast along the slide, along with several large rocks. Up ahead she saw a wall, and at this speed hitting would kill! Amy tried despertly to stop, but there was no grip on the slide of ice. She looked back at the wall and her imenet destrution, the she saw several rocks slideing up the wall. Amy realized the wall was a ramp, and up she went.

There was a sheet of ice on the top of the ramp. As Amy's speed grew she flew right through the ice, and back out into the snowstorm. Amy flew into the air, and landed with a thud on the snow. Painfully bruised she stood up. She was back in the barren waste, the full effect of the cold was hitting her again. Amy then heard whistling, and she turned around. Out of the hole popped her pico pico hammer. It span around fast in the air and then struck the ground near Amy, sticking out of the snow and ice.

Amy grabbed the handle and pulled with all her might. When the hammer came free she saw a familiar glow in the ice. Peering carefully into the ice she saw the green Chaos Emerald. Andrenilne surged through her as she started to pound at the ice, chipping it away bit by bit. Amy was a stubborn as she was determined, and continued to bore away at the ice. "Soon," she thought, "I'm going to get that Chaos Emerald." Shards of ice continued to fly as Amy kept breaking through.

The storm raged on, like a beast on the prowl.
