Frost groaned as he opened his eyes. He looked around and saw he was in a part of the DFF HQ. He got up and felt a sharp pain shoot up through his spine.
"Don't move a muscle. You were seriously hurt when I found you," a voice said. Frost saw a shadow standing in one of the corners of the room.
"Who's there," he asked weakly.
"Glad you asked." The figure then stepped out of the shadows and revealed himself as Walt Wallabee, leader of the DFFs.
"Walt Wallabee's the name," Walt said.
"Frost. Frost the Hedgehog. Barby probably told you about why I were here."
"Oh, she did. You can't go anywhere like that. You're a total wreck."
"Thanks for the vote of confidence. I really needed it," Frost said sarcastically.
"I'm serious. Broken back, scratches and bruises. You can't go anywhere in your condition," Walt said.
"But I have to disconnect that last missile. Otherwise, it's game over for my friends."
"Me and the others will take care of that. You just relax."
"No way! My friends are in danger! I can't just lie down here when I need to be there," Frost said.
"You're too injured to go anywhere," Walt said.
"Rocket has always told me to fight no matter how injured you are."
"Rocket the Hedgehog? You're friends with Rocket?"
"Pretty much," Frost replied.
"Why didn't you say so? C'mon. We gotta get to the location of the final missile before it's game over for Rocket," Walt said before leaving the room. Frost limped after him and both of them got into Barby's jeep and drove off. Frost worried that wasn't enough time to disconnect the missile and save Rocket.
"Don't worry. We're gonna get there in time to save your friends. You can bet on that." Frost and Walt stopped when they reached the edge of Downunda.
"There is pretty much where it ends. We can't just swim across," Walt said.
"We don't have to. Stand back, Walt." Walt did as Frost said and he saw as Frost froze the ocean solid.
"Think you can drive the jeep over that without breaking the ice," Frost asked.
"I can try." Frost and Walt then got back into the jeep and drove across the surface of the ice.
"Frost better get here fast. Otherwise, we're all pretty dead," Rocket said as he saw that he and the others had less than two minutes left. Seconds later, he heard the sound of a car coming closer and closer before Walt and Frost pulled up in the jeep.
"Rocket!"
"Frost, quick! You're almost outta time!" Frost jumped out of the jeep, turned his right hand into an ice blade, and sliced the missile straight down the middle. The countdown stopped and everyone else gathered around the currently defunct missile.
"That'll definitely stop a countdown," Sonic remarked.
"Nice job, Frost. I'm sure you had one hell of an adventure," Rocket said.
"I so did, but I think I'm not cut out for going solo on missions. I may be a Mobian, but I need others behind me to help me out," Frost said.
"Yeah. Like the saying goes: 'There's no 'I' in team.' Sometimes you can get things done by yourself and other times you need others to back you up. Together, everyone achieves more."
"OK, you got that off a poster."
"But it's still true, Frost. You need a team behind you to get the job done," Rocket said.
"Thanks, Rocket. You know just what to say. That's why you're the hero," Frost said.
"Come on. The day's still young. You need some time to relax after the adventure you had, dude." Frost followed Rocket into the main complex of the resort to get some R&R before the day disappeared. Today, Frost got the chance to be the hero and save the day. Today was the day Frost went on his own Solo Adventure.
