REVIEW RESPONSE

Rock Raider: To answer your question about Buster and Babs, in this fic, they have finished at high school. I may do a FurballxRita fic but I have so many ideas I may not have time. You'll see how Pepe and Fifi fare in this chapter.

PurpleCobra247: Yep, action starts in this chapter. Hope it will be good enough.

Nightw2: I think the review response issue has been sorted now. I'll try and make some good action, please enjoy.

acosta pérez josé ramiro: Yep, you wouldn't want to meet Miss. Ice in a dark alleyway. I already have an idea of whoshe'll attack but thanks for the suggestions either way. Good explanation regarding the crime nicrease, didn't think of it myself.

The Confrontation

About half-way into the city, FoxFang and Cub came across a trail of seemingly mindless destruction. Most of the buildings had been froxen solid, as well as some citizens. Paramedics were there treating the frozen and thawing them out. There were also some police officers interrogating the witnesses. The road has also been frozen, making it very slippy. Cub had to drive slower than he'd like to avoid slipping. Cub kept the wheel steady while FoxFang prepared to throw a Fox glare if an officer attempted to get close. To her surprise, the officers that saw the Fangmobile either ignored it or just gave a friendly wave. FoxFang was tempted to wave back but decided against it, keeping prepared should anything happen. The icy trail kept on going towards the centre of town.

"Well, at least she left us a trail." FoxFang muttered.

"How could someone become capible of this?" Cub asked.

"Don't know. We'll have to ask her."

"Hmm, that won't be easy."

"I know. This city seems to be getting more and more freaks."

"Have the officers tried anything?"

"Oddly no, a few of them waved but they mostly ignored us."

"I wonder why."

"Perhaps they like us."

"We know one person who doesn't."

"Yeah, what a grouch."

"I'm actually thinking about what those two officers in the plane said."

"About us working with the police?"

"Yeah."

"It would never happen. I just don't trust them."

"But the police trust us."

"A difficult situation, but I believe it would be easier if we didn't work with them."

"Ok." Cub said no more and continued to follow the icy trail. Shortly after, the Fangwave sounded. FoxFang grabbed hers and had a look. The alarm was indicating trouble at the Diamondo De Francais. As she saw this, a shiver went down her spine.

"Cub, Miss. Ice has beaten us there. We need to hurry."

"Don't worry." Cub decided to increase the speed a little and they sped off towards the Diamondo De Francais.


At the Diamondo De Francais, Miss. Ice had arrived well before FoxFang and Cub. She had destrroyed the front door by freezing it and then shattering it. She was currently opening the display cases and putting all the jewels into her sports bag. She was unaware that she had triggered a silent alarm. It was this alarm that had activated the Fangwave, as well as alerting the police. The alarm had also alerted Pepe le Pew and Fifi la Fume. The diamonds that Miss. Ice had taken varied in looks, but they were all beautiful to her. She had so far stolen a total of $20,00,000 worth of jewels, including the jewels from the plane. She wasn't finished quite finished yet. She went to the back of the store and approached a large vault. It was about 10ft tall with a large wheel in the centre. The wheel looked a little like the wheel on board most ships. The whole vault was coloured grey and had a code lock on the right hand side.

"Hmm, the best prizes must be in the freezer…" Miss. Ice said evilly. She used her power over ice to freeze the vault door and then used the needle to shatter it. On the other side was a huge ammount of jewellery, the most valuable in the city. Miss. Ice walked nto the room and looked around. She picked up a diamond neckless and admired it before throwing it into the sports bag. After a few minutes, she had cleaned the vaultout and was holding the last piece of jewellery in the store, a diamond ring.

"What a prize this is." Miss. Ice was about to place the ring into the bag when a sharp object flew out of nowhere. The object was moving too fast for her to clearly see it but it cut the strap of the sports bag, causing it to fall to the floor. She turned around and saw FoxFang and Cub standing at the doorway to the vault, both armed with Fangmerangs. Miss. Ice just looked back at them intently.

"Why FoxFang and Cub. I wondered when you two would show up." Miss. Ice said.

"So, you expected us?" Cub asked sarcastically.

"Who wouldn't if they lived a life of crime."

"Whatever."

"Now, if you'll excuse me…"

"You're going nowhere!" FoxFang snapped.

"Very well, just try not to freeze." Miss. Ice raised herhand and tried to blast FoxFang and Cub with ice. The blast was easilly dodged with a leap to the side. The blast ended up hitting a wall on the opposite side. Miss. Ice ran out of the vault and was promptly tackled brom behind by Cub. Before he could do anything, Miss. Ice leapt to her feet and threw him to the floor.

"Not so fast." Miss. Ice raised a hand straight up and sent an icy blast throughout the whole room. FoxFang and Cub leapt behind a display case to avoid being caught in the blast. When Miss. Ice had finished, the entire store was covered in snow.


Pepe le Pew and Fifi la Fume were driving in a silver citroen Xzara Picasso. Pepe had drivel round to Fifi's house to pick her up when they had learned about the silent alarm being triggered at the store. Along the way, they passed the trail if ice left by Miss. Ice. Paramedics were still there treating the injured but all the police had gone. The whole sight got Fifi worried. Pepe, while he was driving, noticed that she had a troubled look.

"What is wrong Fifi?" Pepe asked.

"I don't know, but zis sight troubles me." Fifi replied.

"It troubles me too. What kind of mutant could do this?"

"I hope he or she isn't at ze store."

"If so, we may actually see zis FoxFang."

"Maybe, but what if he isn't there?"

"Then, we call ze authorities."

"And hide?"

"I suppose we could, but I want to protect the store!"

"But how could we do it alone?"

"I don't know, we'll think of a way."

"But what if FoxFang is there?"

"Then we let him solve the problem."

"Er…ok." Fifi was very nervous of what to expect when they arrived at the store, and Pepe's words didn't do much to boost her confidence. She decided to say no more and sit quietly until they arrived at the store.


Back at the store, Miss. Ice had filled the entire room with ice and snow. FoxFang and Cub were ok but they were getting colder and colder. They pressed their attack regardeless. FoxFang leapt onto one of the display cases and right at Miss. Ice, who was caught completely off guard. FoxFang was able to punch her in the chest and knock her to the other side of the room. Miss. Ice just stood up and began laughing evilly.

"Hahaha, as good as before." Miss. Ice complimented.

"What do you mean?" FoxFang asked.

"You have improved since the last time."

"The way you're talking, you'd think we'd met before."

"We might have, then again, we might not have." Miss. Ice fired an Icy blast at FoxFang, who evaded the attack but found herself breathing heavily, as did Cub. Cub came out of hidding and threw a Fangdart at Miss. Ice hand. Miss. Ice just fired a blast of ice and froze the dart before it reached her. She then noticed FoxFang and Cub breathing heavily.

"Breathing heavily? That would be the hypothermia starting up. I think we all know the symptoms." Miss. Ice began. FoxFang and Cub kept their guard up, but found themselves moving slower than normal.

"First comes heavy breathing, then a slowed reaction time, and then…the big chill." Cub noticed a huge iccicle hanging above where Miss. Ice was standing. Without a second thought he threw a Fangmerang at the Iccicle. The Iccicle broke and fell onto Miss. Ice. Taking the opportunity, FoxFang leapt at her and landed a foot to the face. Miss. Ice was sent flying from the force of the kick. She crashed into one of the now empty display cases. Her hodd had cracked. FoxFang and Cub both jumped over to her and were amazed at who they saw under the hood.

"Vanessa Icle?" Cub asked. Within a second, the hood had re-frozen solid. Miss. Ice regained her composure and caught FoxFang and Cub off-guard. She fired an icy blast at FoxFang, freezing her up to her shoulders. Cub's right hand was also caught in the blast.

"Yes, it is me, Vanessa Icle!"

"But how? You're supposed to be dead."

"Technically, I am. I am a zombie with the power of ice."

"Explain more."

"Very well, you remember that incident at Wile E's lab don't you?" Cub just nodded, all this time struggling to get his arm free. FoxFang was pounding at the ice around her desprately trying to break it.

"Let me tell you what happened…"


Flashback

It was the beginning of December. Wile E was examing the stasis pod that contanied Vanessa Icle. It was hooked up to a computer in another part of the lab. Wile E was looking at the computer with a sad expression on his face. There were no life signs being recorded from the pod. Eventually, Wile E gave a sigh.

"No point, she will never live again." Wile E muttered. He was about to leave the computer when he heard a hissing sound. He looked around and saw, through some malfunction, that the pod was opening. Wile E looked in horror as Vanessa Icle stepped out of the pod. With every step she took, the floor beneath her feet froze. She looked at her hand and saw it freeze. She clenched her fist to break the ice but it just refroze. Wile E's look of horror had turned into an expression of interest.

"Fascinating." Wile E muttered. Vanessa turned and gave a harsh glare at Wile E.

"I supppose you are Wile E Coyote." Vanessa asked.

"Yes, I am."

"Well, I need you to do a favour. Build me a suit to contain this ice powerof mine."

"What will I get from it?" Vanessa walked over to Wile E and held her hand out. Her hand was covered in ice.

"If you don't, I will use my uncontrollable ice power on you." Wile E gulped in fear.

"Ok, you win!" Wile E ran to the computer and began drawing up plans. Vanessa just looked at her deformed body.

"My blood must have frozen at the same time as mt electrocution, causing a mutation."

End Flashback


"Indeed, my body had mutated. I was no longer alive but I am not dead either, something in between." Miss. Ice finished. FoxFang was now breathing extremely heavily. Cub was also feeling the effects, but he still struggled to get himself and FoxFang free.

"And this is all thanks too you." Miss. Ice added. Cub felt a rage build up inside him.

"What do you mean!" Cub shouted.

"If it wasn't for you two, I would never be what I am now. Thank you, now farewell!" Miss. Ice reached out her hand but before she could do anything, there was a noise from the entrance of the room. Officers Eric and Lucy had arrived on the scene. They both had their guns drawn and were aiming at Miss. Ice.

"Freeze!" Luck shouted. Miss. Ice just turned and looked at them.

"It's Ice, not Freeze!" Miss. Ice scolded. She fired an icy blast at the officers but they were able to jump to the side.

"Fine, I shall go now. Another time FoxFang, unless you die now." Miss. Ice said evilly. She picked up the bag of jewels and jumped out of the window, quickly making her escape. Eric ran up to the window and caught a glimpse of Miss. Ice jumping down a sewer.

"Damm, she got away." Eric scolded.

"We'll get her next time." Lucy said reassuringly. Eric glanced over at FoxFang and Cub. In defence, Cub had armed a Fangdart in his left hand. His right hand was still trapped while FoxFang's breathing was getting heavier.

"You guys need a hand?" Eric asked.

"Keep away officer!" Cub scolded.

"Hey, I'm only trying to help."

"Like you tried to arrest us before?"

"Hey, I have a grumpy superior. That doesn't change the fact that I respect you." As he said this, Eric picked up a nearby chunk of ice. Lucy nodded and Eric slid it along the ground as hard as he could. It collided with the ice that trapped FoxFang. This was just the vibration that she needed to break free. FoxFang nearly collapsed from hypothermiabut Cub caught her. She was eventually able to steady herself.

"Will you need paramedics?"

"No! We'll be ok."

"I hope so."

"But thanks for your help all the same."

"Now go, before our superior comes." Lucy instructed. Taking the opportunity, FoxFang ran as fast as she could back to the Fangmobile. Cub soon followed, but gave Eric and Lucy a friendly wave before joining FoxFang. FoxFang had leapt into the drivers seat but Cub put a hand on her shoulder.

"No, let me drive, you're hypothermic." FoxFang nodded and moved over to the other side. Cub jumped to the drivers' side and drove off, leaving Eric and Lucy watching them leave.

"Our boss is so going to kill us if he finds out about this." Lucy muttered.

A/N: Well, that's that done. I hope you liked that chapter. There's more action to come later. For now, please review.
