REVIEW RESPONSE
Nightw2: Thanks for explaining world's finest. I'm glad you like this story so far. I'll look out for your story.
Rock Raider: Thanks for those gift ideas. I might get Geist when it comes out over here, I'm not sure yet. I already have a couple of gift ideas for Jess and Zach. Your idea about a birthday present, I'll keep it in mind for FoxFang 5.
Tha Kalligrapha: You made an interesting point in your review actually. I'm not offended by your opinion, you are entitled to it. Creating Jess and Zach took a bit of work, which is why they have depth. Glad you like that.
PurpleCobra247: Actually, I kinda gave away who the Mr. Freeze spoofer would be in the last FoxFang story. Either way, she'll appear this chapter. What you said about Jess and Zach kissing under the missletoe, I can just picture that moment right now. They do make a lovely couple don't they?
acosta pérez josé ramiro: Yeah, batman and the Batmobile go together like… bread and butter. Besides, it was about time FoxFang and Cub obtained some vehicles. Thanks for the info about world's finest.
Iceberg on the airway
Late that night, a large passenger airliner was in the airspace of the Looniville airport. The airliner belonged to Toon Airways. Their symbol was a picture of a Condor with the Warner Brothers logo. The airliner was about 70 feet long and was mostly white with an orange strip just under the windows. The plane had two 35ft long wings, each with two large jet engines. On board the plane were a group of people either returning for christmas or coming to spend christmas with relatives. Among those arrivingg were Buster and Babs. They were returning from a week holiday in Australia. Just in time for christmas. They went because they needed a break from all the chaos that had happened recently. Also, during the holiday, Buster had finally popped the question to Babs. He proposed while they were watching the sunset at a beach. Baabs eagerly accepted and they couldn't wait to tell people back at home. They were sitting on the right most side of the plane. Both of them were wearing casual clothes. Babs was admiring the engagement ring Buster had brought her. It was a small ring with a beautiful diamond in the centre. Babs briefly looked out of the window she was next to. She admired the sitght of the city lights on. She began to daydream and began drawing imaginary lines around the lights to draw Buster's figure. As she was gazing around, she then caught a glimpse of something unusual. Snapping out of her trance, she had another look and saw a huge tower of ice, roughly 100ft tall, next to the landing strip. Babs immediately nidged Buster's shoulder to wake him up.
"What is it Babsy?" Buster asked.
"Buster, any idea why there's a tower of ice by the landing strip?" Babs asked. Buster had a peep as best as he could and saw the pillar of ice for himself.
"No idea. It's not that cold outside."
"Something is very wrong."
"It's probably nothing."
"Buster, my sense of danger had rarely failed me."
"That I can't argue with." The plane pilots seemed to ignore the pillar and just flew past it. However, as they did, a tendril of ice shot out from the pillar and grabbed the tip. The front was completely frozen and the plane was stuck. Another tendril caught the tail end of the plane to keep it level. The plane was now stuck in mid air, trapped by two tendrils of solid ice. Everyone in the plane began talking amongst theemselves but there was no word from the pilot.
"What is this?" Buster asked.
"I have no idea." Babs replied. They then heard a scream from the cockpit. Everyoone looked towards the front of the plane and saw the door leading to the cockpit freezing solid. Nobody could say anything as the door suddenly shattered, revealing a mysterious figure on the other side of the doorway. The figure was about 5ft tall with eyes that were silver but glowed red. The figure wore a blue suit that had an array of pipes on the outside. There was also a glass hood through which the eyes were visible. There was ice on the inside of the hood. The figure was holding a brown sportsbag, the handle of which was beginning to freeze.
At the Foxcave, Plucky, Shirley, Jessica and Zach were passing time playing a simple game of ludo. Egghead Jr. was working on the computer designing plans for a new vehivle. This new vehicle was some sort of helicopter. Codenamed the FoxChopper, it was an aerial vehicle which would be used to airlift people from dangerous areas or chase villians attempting to leave the city. It was hoped to be twice as fast as any military shinnok class chopper. Another intention was that it could drop nets attached to the chopper by winches. They would be able to capture fleeing criminals and airlift them to the police station. This new vehicle was still in the designig process and construction was intended for after christmas. During the game of ludo, Plucky decided to start a conversation.
"So, what are you guys doing for christmas?" Plucky asked.
"I thought we already told you." Zach replied. Plucky then remembered the brief conversation the night before.
"Oh yeah."
"But I'm curious as to what your plans are though."
"We were going to have a christmas party with the rest of our friends."
"Friends like?"
"Buster, Babs, Furball, Sweetie, Hamton…"
"So basically, all the Tiny Toon adventure stars." Jessica finished.
"You might say that."
"Anyway, I think it's your go Jess." Zach said.
"Ok…" Jessica picked up the dice and was about tto throw it when the Fangwave sounded. Everyone looked up at the mother computer to see what was going on. What they saw astounded them. The screen showed a picture of the plane that had been trapped by the ice pillar as it was landing. Plucky and Shirley looked awestruck, Jessica looked surprised while Zach looked shocked.
"I thought I'd finally gotten used to the ways of this town." Zach muttered.
"So had I." Jessica replied.
"If I'm not mistaken, a freak of nature has trapped that plane with ice tendrils." Plucky said
"Plucky, that is not natural." Shirley snapped.
"But who could do something like that?" Jessica asked.
"Some kind of mutant with ice powers." Zach replied.
"I hope that's not the case.
"Shirley, was that the plane Buster and Babs were on?" Plucky asked.
"Yeah, it was." Shirley replied.
"Right, let's go help." Zach said
"Right behind you." Jessica replied. Jessica and Zach quickly changed into their FoxFang and Cub attire. They leap to the Fangmobile and, with FoxFang driving, went as fast as they could towards the Airport.
Back on the plane, everyone was staring in terro rat the figure that had entered the plane. The figure looked around at everyone on the plane and smiled with glee.
"Bingo, I should have some pickings here." The figure said. It's voice sounded very cold and sent shivers down the spines of eeryone. A man at the front of the plane stood up.
"Hey, whoever you are, you are not welcome!" The man snapped.
"The name's Ice…Miss. Ice."
"The pilots can kick you off you know!"
"I highly doubt that, they're too cold." Miss. Ice stepped aside so everyone could look inside the cockpit. The pilot and Co-pilot had been frozen solid. Everyone gasped ni absolute horror.
"W-w-what do you want?" A passenger asked nervously.
"Ice…"
"Ice?"
"You know, Diamonds, Jewels, those things." Miss. Ice then aimed her arm into the air. A blast of ice shot from her hand and froze one of the overhead storage compartments. Miss. Ice then pulled out a small needle. She touched the frozen storage compartment with the needle and it shattered instantly. Everyone screamed in terror. Babs secretly removed her engagement ring and dropped it down her top.
"Now, give me your ice!" Miss. Ice demanded. She dragged the frozen pilot out of the cockpit and held the needle an inch away from the head. Everyone began panicking and got out all the jewels they had, except Bas who just pretended like she didn't have anything. Miss. Ice walked down the passage with the sports bag open. When she passed passengers, those that had jewels out dropped them in the bag.. She then reached Buster and Babs.
"Anything?" Miss. Ice asked.
"Nothing." Buster replied.
"Nothing." Babs added. They both pulled out their pockets and showed their arms. Miss. Ice just nodded and walked on. Buster was a little surprised but said nothing. Eventually,Miss. Icehad reached the back of the passage.
"I thank you for your co-operation. Have an ICE chrstmas." Miss. Ice said. She froze a portion of he plane and then shattered it. She then seemed to jump out of the plane. One urious passenger looked out of the broken portion and saw Miss. Ice creating a path of solid ice and walking towards the city. When she was gone, everyone gave a huge sigh of relief. One person called the authorities while others began trying to defrost the pilot and co-pilot. While doing this, they noticed a doorway made of icee in the cockpit. It led to the ice tendril that supported the front of the plane. Buster and Babs were looking around with shocked expressions.
"I thought we'd escaped these weirdo's." Buster said.
"So had I." Babs replied.
"Hey, where's your ring?" Babs opened the top of her shirt a little and gestured Buster to peer down. He saw the diamond ring in Babs' bra.
"You can get it out later." Buster and Babs' shocked expressions turned into sly smiles.
A few minutes after Miss. Ice left the scene, the authourities arrived. The area was surrrounded by the police cars. Helicopters scoured the nearby land looking for any sign of Miss. Ice. Onboard the plane, police were talking to the passengers whlie paramedics were seeing to the pilot and Co-pilot. They had both been thawed out but were suffering from hypothermia. They were both shivering like leaves, wrapped in electric blankets and had cups of hot coco. Everyone was shaken by the incident. The paramedics with the pilots were both very surprised by what had happened.
"This is strange, the patients appear to have been flash-frozen." One of the paramedics said.
"Like they fell into a freezing lake?" A police officer asked.
"Yeah." Buster and Babs were talking to Police officers Eric and Lucy about what had happened.
"Look, this weirdo has power over ice. She can create it at will!" Buster said.
"What do you hope to do against someone like that?" Babs asked.
"We can only do what we can." Eric replied.
"But that person is a total freak of nature."
"I understand that. When we catch her, we'll have to ask her where she came from."
"That's if you catch her."
"If we can't catch her, I know someone who will."
"But our boss wouldn't be thrilled if he took the credit again." Lucy said.
"Look, FoxFang does more good than bad. I can't see why we can't work with him. We may have better luck."
"Mention it to your boss." Buster suggested.
"About working with FoxFang?"
"Yeah."
"Worth a try." Everyone was unaware that FoxFang and Cub were on top of the plane listening through a hall. They had learned everything that they needed to know, as well as some other things.
"So, whoever this Miss. Ice is, she has power over ice." FoxFang muttered.
"That explains everything that has happened." Cub added.
"But where did she go?"
"My guess is to go and get some more jewels."
"And the only jewel store in the city is…" FoxFang and cub leapt off the plane and were back in the Fangmobile before anyonne knew they were there. The fangmobile was hidden behind a warehouse near the airport. When they reached theFangmobile, FoxFang opened a communication link to the Foxcave.
"Shirley, what is the status of the Diamondo De Francais?" FoxFang asked.
"According to the scanners, everything is ok." Shirley replied.,
"Any sudden drops of temperature anywhere?"
"Well, if you count a path of ice heading towards the centre of town."
"Cub, let's go. We need to get to the Diamondo De Francais before this Miss. Ice!"
"I'm on it." Cub replied. He started off the engine and the Fangmobile drove off towards the centre of town.
A/N: Well, the villian appears. I hope this isn't deleted as I'm taking a gamble with a review response. Anyway, please review.
