REVIEW RESPONSE
PurpleCobra247: Yes, I get the joke. I should expect these ice puns considiring the villian. You'll see what FoxFang and Cub do in this chapter.
Rock Raider: You''ll have to wait a little to find out Miss. Ice's next victim. That will occur next chapter. I know who I'll spoof in the next FoxFang, you'll find out at the end of this story.
Nightw2: The action was a little bbit harder in this chapter as I was using Miss. Ice's abilities. I'm glad you liked it. There's more action and dialogue to come.
acosta pérez josé ramiro: Yep, I agree with what you said about the villians. I saw a Batman episode where he faced a giant being that nearly killed him. Bruce had to build a giant robot to defeat him. Hope you enjoy the rest.
Recovery
Soon after FoxFang and Cub had left the Diamondo De Francais, Pepe le Pew and Fifi arrived at the store. As a result of the battle, the entire store had been turned into something that resembled a freezer. The outside was also slowly freezing. The whole sight brought tears to Pepe's eyes. The store he and Fifi had worked so hard on running had been turned into a giant freezer from Miss. Ice's attack. There were absolutely nothing left. Fifi was horrified at the sight. She had never felt so horrified and depressed. They both walked in and began to feel the cold. Eric and Lucy were still inside, also beginning to feel the cold. The teo turned to leave the building when they saw Pepe and Fifi. The officers walked up to the two skunks, both with shocked expressions.
"Monsieur, what happened here?" Pepe asked. The group walked out of the building where it was slightly warmer.
"I'm afraid that your store was robbed by some mutant crimiinal." Eric replied.
"Mutant!" Fifi exclaimed.
"She has control over ice and cold."
"But I'm sure that FoxFang would have stopped her." Lucy's expression changed again.
"No. When we arrived, he was half frozen and his companion was trapped in ice." Lucy said sadly.
"They could not stop her?" Before anyone could answer, another vehicle arrived. It was a news vehicle for the local news. Reporter Carol Cobra stepped out of the vehicle, accompanied by her camera crew. They approached the group.
"Can we ask what happened here?" Carol asked. She held a microphone at the face of Eric.
"This place was attacked by a criminal that calls herself Miss. Ice." Eric spoke into the microphone.
"Was she the one who attacked that returning plane earlier this evening?"
"Yes she was. She has power over ice and can freeze anything."
"What do you hope to do against a person like that?"
"We don't know. She was able to fend FoxFang off."
"What do you mean?"
"When we got there, he was half frozen and his companion was trapped next to him. Miss. Ice escaped soon after we arrived."
"Isn't FoxFang wannted by the police?"
"That is true."
"So I suppose that he is in custordy."
"No, when we reached them, they were able to break out of the ice and escaped." Lucy just smiled to herself at Eric's little lie. They knew what had happened but dared not say as they could lose their jobs if their chief knew the truth.
"What do you think has become of him?"
"Who knows. We don't know if he'll attack again or just disappear into urban legends."
"Officer, thank you for your time."
Cub had driven the Fangmobile back to the Foxcave. Along the trip, the heating was turned up to maximum. He was now feeling better but FoxFang was still quite cold. She had recovered a little and wasn't breathing as heavily as she was but she was still shaking. It was the first time that a criminal had come close to killing her. Her mind was being boggled by two things, the power of Miss. Ice and the act of kindness shown by Eric and Lucy. She had never trusted the police and didn't like the idea of teaming up with them, but she was now thinking differenttly. Those two officers had obviously disobeyed their orders out of respect. One part of her mind wanted to trust them more but another part told her not to. She was unsure of what to do and her low body temperature was affecting her thinking. When Cub arrived at the Foxcave, Plucky and Shirley were waiting for them. Pluckly was holding an electric blanket while Shirley had a cup of hot chocolate. Thanks to the computer, they knew that FoxFang had been fllash frozen and were extremely concerned. When the vehicle was safely parked, Cub took off his mask and opened the doors. He then went and helped FoxFang out of the car. They went up to the mother computer, where Egghead Jr. wsa working on some other plans, and sat down on the floor. FoxFang remover her mask and Plucky wrapped the electric blanket around her. Shirley gave Jessica her hot chocolate, which she took eagerly while Zach sat down next to her.
"So, who is this person?" Plucky asked. Jessica was too shaken by what had happened to talk about it.
"Zach, can you tell them?" Jessica asked.
"Ok." Zach replied.
"Well, who is she?" Plucky asked.
"She calls herself Miss. Ice, but we found that it's actually someone we've faced before."
"Who?"
"Miss. Vanessa Icle." Shirley gasped in horror while Plucky burst out laughing.
"Don't play silly games, she's dead."
"It's no joke." Plucky stopped laughing and looked serious.
"That wasn't a joke?"
"No."
"How is she still alive?" Shirley asked.
"Remember that accident at Wile E's lab?"
"Yeah."
"Well, that accident mutated her body. She's now some kind of zombie with ice powers." During this conversation, Jessica was slowly drinking her hot chocolate and was slowly warming up. Zach turned his head to her. Jessica looked back at him and smiled.
"How are you feeling?" Zach asked.
"I don't feel cold anymore." Jessica replied.
"But you look troubled." Plucky said.
"Oh, something surprising happened while I was froxen."
"What?"
"The police came but they didn't arrest us."
"The didn't arrest you?"
"They didn't even come near us. One of them said something abouut them respecting us."
"Then he slid a chunk of ice at us and broke the ice that was trappng Jessica." Zach added.
"Actually, that caused a vibration which helped me break the ice myself."
"Oh."
"Then, why didn't they arrest you?" Plucky asked.
"t's possible that the officers are rebelling against their superior's decision." Shirley suggested.
"But how can we be sure?" Zach asked.
"I don't know. Your best bet is to keep your guard up."
"Well, I'm not fighting Miss. Ice again yet." Jessica said.
"Jess, it's not like you to give up." Plucky protested, not quite catching the word 'yet'.
"I said not yet! I won't fight her until we can get some kind of protection against her ice abilities."
"Can't you just be more careful."
"Plucky, I don't fancy the idea of being a frozen Rabbit/Fox-sickle again!"
"I second that notion." Zach added."
"Oh, right."
"That's why I'm getting Egghead jr. to make add-on's to your uits." Shirley said, pointing to the mother computer. Jessica and Zach stood up and went over to the computer. Egghead Jr. was designing a suit of armor built of two layers. In between these two layers were a network of pipes. Coming off the armor were two other pipes, connected to unusual guns.
"Shirley, we don't use bullets." Jessica protested.
"Those guns won't shoot bullets, they'll spray fire." Shirley replied.
"Wow."
"And the armor provides protection against cold temperatures. You won't be frozen while wearing those."
"Nice, ohw long until they'll be ready?"
"I'd estimate that they'll be ready tomorrow evening."
"Ok. We'd better rest until then."
Jessica and Zach began walking away from the mother computer and went up to the tunnel that led to Jessica's house. When they got there, Zach grabbed Jessica's hand. Jessica turned towards him and smiled. Zach was relieved that she was ok but was a bit unsure about the situation.
"Jess, are you feeling ok?" Zach asked.
"I'm shaken, but I'll be ok after a good night's rest." Jessica replied reassuringly.
"I'm glad you're ok."
"What's wrong?"
"It's just,… back there,… I was worried that… I would lose you."
"It's probably my fault. I have to admit to underestimating Miss. Ice."
"You underestimated her?"
"Yeah, and it nearly cost me my life." Zach began to cry softly. Jessica pulled him closer to her and hugged him tightly. She began crying as well.
"Jess, I don't know what I'd do if I lost you."
"Zach, I feel the same. If you died, I don't think I'd b able to carry on."
"Oh Jessica, I just wish this city would be safe."
""So do I. It used to he safe here"
"Jess, if we do make this city completely safe, what should we do?"
"If we manage, we can spend more time together free from danger."
"Yeah, let's work together to achieve that future."
"Lets." They both looked at each other's eyes for a moment before they finally gave each other a compassionate kiss. This one lasted for 5 minutes before they pulled out.
"Zach, you go home and rest. I'll see you here tomorrow." Jessida said.
"Ok, we will beat Miss. Ice for sure." Zach replied. They them hugged each other again and gave another 5 minute kiss before finally stopping.
"Goodnight Zach, I love you." Jessica said as she began walking back home.
"And you Jess. Love you too." Zach replied. He began walking to the passage that led to his house.
Furball and Rita were sitting an the lounge at Furball's house. Runt was busy sleeping in the back yard. They two of them were sitting on the sofa in the lounge. The room was of a very modern design with a green carpet with cat designs. The sofa Rita and Furball were sitting on was a cream coloured sofa with enough room for three people. There was also a small fireplace on the side of the room. There was a picture f when Furball graduated hanging above it. Furball was standing there in a classic graduation outfit holding his diploma. Sweetie was just visible in the picture, with a giant mallet in her hands. Rita and Furball had their arms around each other and were watching the news. It was the broadcast of Miss. Ice's attack on the Diamondo De Francais. Rita looked horrified while Furball showed an expression of shock.
"That was my favourite store." Ritta complained.
"I know. We would always walk past there so you could look at the rings." Furball replied.
"Yeah, they were quite pretty, but now this happens."
"Whoever did this has to be tough."
"Especially to get the better of FoxFang."
"I know. I remember working with him when we were in the looniversity."
"And he kept your secret."
"Shame I don't know his identity."
"But what will he do now?"
"I don't know. I doubt he'd give up."
"But what can you do against someone like that?" Furball slowly took his arm away from Rita.
"Rita, I'm going to have a try."
"What?"
"This Miss. Ice is threatening to turn the city into a replica of Antartica. It must be prevented."
"But if she defeated FoxFang, what can you do?"
"Even if I could slow her down, I can't just sit here and do nothing."
"Ok, I understand."
"Rita, I promise that if things get too hiry, I'll retreat." Furball leaned up to Rita and kissed her on the cheek.
"Please, do what you must, but be careful." Rita turned to face Furball and kissed him on the cheek. Furball put an arm around Rita and kissed her on the lips. Rita was expecting it and returned the kiss. After a couple of minutes, Furball released the kiss and went over toewards his room.
"We can continue when I get back if you want." Furball suggested. Rita smiled with affectiion.
"I'd like that." Rita replied.
A/N: Did anyone expect this? Hope you enjoyed it anyway. Please review.
