Chapter IV
Frostbite
"Honestly, I get myself into the worst positions." Roll sat in a cave in an icecap, probably far from civilization. She shivered in the cold, then heard snow crunching. She looked out of the cave to see the Robot Master walk up. "Good news. We've got company. Bad news. You'll probably freeze before he gets here."
He then began chuckling as Roll flushed with anger. "What's the point of all this? You didn't even let Rocky know you kidnapped me!" The Robot Master shrugged. "Doesn't matter. When he finds out that your an icicle, he'll go nuts. After you, I think we'll go after the 'Sinister Six'."
He then began laughing his head off. "And don't start thinking that first-generation 'bots can beat me! They'll win when Hell freezes over!" He cackled some more before stopping and looking in the distance. "How 'bout that…"
Roll poked her head out of the cave and saw storm clouds closing in on them. "Apparently, things are gonna get pretty cold soon." The Robot Master then kneeled down to her level. "Welcome to Hell, sweetcheeks."
He stood up then began walking off. "By the way, name's Glacier Man. I figured that you'd want to know the name of the one who's gonna finish off your brother." Before Roll could respond, Glacier Man's shoulders, which were spiked with icicles, grew to an abnormal height briefly.
This gave Roll the impression that impalement was probable. "Feel free to try to follow me. I assure you, you'll freeze before you get a fourth of the way." With that, Glacier Man turned and walked off into the distance as snow began falling.
Elsewhere, Zero took a few steps into the icecap, then looked around. "Lovely. I hate the cold." He turned around and began walking off. A few minutes later, a motor was heard as Zero reentered the icecap on a snowmobile. "Much better."

Ready
Zero drove off of an embankment as snow began coming down harder than before. He then began going downhill, tearing through every Sniper Joe he came across. When he hit one of the last ones, it stuck on the front of the snowmobile, looked up, and waved at Zero, who promptly shoved it off.
He turned and began going down a steep slope as a small avalanche started behind him. He picked up and hit a small embankment, flying into the air. He broke through a wall of ice and began driving through a small ice cave as the avalanche continued on his left.
When he exited, he landed on another path while the avalanche turned right. He continued driving until the paths merged and he was once more pursued by the avalanche.
He picked up even more speed, then hit another embankment as fast as he could. As the avalanche fell into a ravine, he flew through the air and landed on the opposite side, right on top of a Sniper Joe.
He continued on his way as Sniper Joes on snowmobiles began riding alongside him. "Stupid ass robots!" Zero took his saber and spun it around, slicing both Joes in half. He then shoved their snowmobiles off of the road and into more Joes that were waiting for him to pass.
"Alright, asshole. Where are you?" He looked into the distance and saw Glacier Man walking along, minding his own business. "I'll show you stereotypical!" He slammed on the gas and drove as fast as he could.
However, he drove off of a cliffside and flew over a large ravine. Zero released the snowmobile and rolled in the snow when he hit it as Glacier Man disappeared and the snowmobile exploded upon impact.

Warning!
Several icicles met at one point in the air and formed a spiked ball, which fell to the ground and shattered, releasing Glacier Man from the center of it. "Freeze!" He then stood erect and smirked. Well, well. Blondie made it. Not bad."
Zero fired his buster again as Glacier Man jumped to the side. "Don't make me laugh. You could beat me if you're life depends on it! Oh, would you look at that? It does!" Zero fired at him again as he spun around cockily. "Just chill out!"

(A white bar passes the screen.)
"Is it getting cold in here?" He then waved his hands, causing Zero to move slower than usual. "What the hell? It's… freezing!" Zero growled and used Blast Radius to knock Glacier Man onto his back.
(A second bar passes the screen.)
"Hyah!" Glacier Man rolled under Zero, then spiral-uppercutted him into the air as snow flew from his fist.
(A third bar follows immediately after.)
"This is gonna hurt!" As Zero fell down, Glacier Man extended his icicles shoulders, impaling Zero. He then returned them to normal size and sidestepped Zero as he fell to the ground.
(A fourth bar passes the screen.)
"Freeze!" Glacier Man thrust his hand forward and froze Zero solid. He then walked over and kicked the frozen Zero with his cleated feet. Zero fell to the ground, where he slashed at Glacier Man's feet with the saber. Glacier Man jumped over it, but Zero caught him by slashing up and leaving a vertical gash in his chest.
(A fifth bar passes the screen.)
"Not bad. For a blondie." Zero stood up and used Bombing Barrage to pummel Glacier Man into the ground. As Glacier Man jumped to his feet, Zero used Power Surge, knocking Glacier Man into the snowmobile. He ignited and began rolling around frantically.
(A sixth bar passes the screen.)
"Agh! It burns!" Glacier Man quickly put out the fire and jumped to his feet. Zero spun his saber around and prepared for the final thrust.

(A seventh bar passes the screen.)
"That's real cold, man!" Glacier Man threw his arms as small chunks of ice began falling from the air. "Glacier Drop!" Zero charged a buster shot, then released it, ending the attack and knocking Glacier Man backwards. Zero released the second one, knocking him back further.
(Glacier Man's Health)
None
When he swung the saber, the blade went through him and he fell to his knees. "I'm… burning up!" Glacier Man fell on his face and exploded.

Zero closed his eyes and turned his back to Glacier Man's wreckage. "Serves you right. Cocky son of a bitch." He then beamed off.
You got Frozen Peak!
(Zero beams down as enemies appear above him. He draws his saber and spirals into the air as snow flies off and the saber becomes blue. Once he destroys the enemies, the saber becomes green again as he drops to the ground. He replaces the saber, then beams off.)
"I can't believe I'm doing this. I'm gonna die, I swear." Roll had decided to go for it and was now walking through a blizzard. She continued shivering as Protoman appeared. "Need a ride?"
Elsewhere, Zero was observing the unveiling of Titan Man. He stood at a whopping seven feet, two inches. His creator, Professor Flockhart, then went on to explain his abilities, such as his one million horsepower strength.
Zero soon got bored and left, but made a note of that. The next day, he heard rumors of the fastest Robot Master in existence. It's only until he went to the racetrack that he found him.
"What is 37,036,962,963 to the second power?" Within a second, the robot responded. "1,371,736,625,522,633,739,369." He smirked as he looked into the audience and saw their shocked expressions. "Give or take."
As the audience applauded, Zero left and returned to the destroyed base where he began repairing himself. "I don't care who he is. I don't care what he does. If there's a robot that can think like that, then he will be considered a threat, one which I will defeat thoroughly and completely."
Next time: Zero gets more than he bargained for.
