Sonic the Hedgehog: The Greatest Chase

by MatchMaker Amethyst

Sonic and the crew had stolen the file of Eggman's new plans and a mysterious black key. The key is "the key to Eggman's success." Eggman is going to a man or animal hunt the heroes by sending a group of bounty hunters called the Deadly Six to get the key back. Our heroes are going around the world to escape Eggman and save the world from his evil new plot.

56. CH55: Ant1: Vinson Massif

Chapter 55: Antarctica I

3:39 pm (USA time: 3:39 am) at Antarctica, Team Sonic is flying above the country.

"Thank goodness, I'd packed us all jackets for this," said Tikal.

"Right. Tell us about Antarctica, Amy," said Sonic.

"On the southern-most tip of the planet rests one of the world's most massive and mysterious landmasses - the frozen realm of Antarctica. This icy expanse stretches out to cover more than 14 million square kilometers, making it the fifth-largest continent in the world. It is situated almost entirely within the Arctic Circle, which means that temperatures are consistently below zero throughout the majority of the year. Such conditions make life relatively sparse compared to other regions globally. Still, the animals that occupy this frosty landscape are well adapted to handle the incredibly harsh conditions seen regularly by explorers and scientists stationed there. While the landscape may seem somewhat desolate to the untrained observer, it is actually one of the most interesting places on earth."

"Where's the battery at," said Cream.

"At Vinson Massif," said Tails.

Then Amy says, "Mount Vinson is the highest mountain on the continent of Antarctica and the sixth highest of the Seven Summits, the highest mountains on the seven continents. It is an ultra-prominence peak with 16,050 feet (4,892 meters) of prominence (the same as its elevation), making it the eighth-most prominent mountain in the world."

"And I see the mountain," said Knuckles, takes some pictures.

On the top of Vinson Massif is a 4ft battery in a 4ft plug.

When Tails steadies the plane above the mountain, then Sonic says, "Knuckles, you'll take care of the battery while Amy, Tikal, Cream, and I will hold on to the rope."

As Knuckles ties the rope to himself and goes down to get the battery and plug, Sonic, Amy, Cream, and Tikal hold on to the rope. When Knuckles finish disabling them, he gets pulled back up into the plane.

"I'm guessing the Deadly Six aren't after us anymore," said Cream.

"Eggman probably fired them," said Sonic.

"What's our next stop," said Knuckles.

"Ross Ice Shelf. It will take 1 hour and 44.43 minutes to get there," said Tails.

"Hot Cocoa, anyone," said Amy, takes out a try of 6 cups of hot chocolate with marshmallows.

"Sure thing, Amy," said Tikal.

Team Sonic quickly finished their hot chocolate and flew off.
