"We just have to find Cool Josh and that's the mission," Manik said.
"Nice plan, but you forgot one thing," Cool Josh said before Manik, Sonia, Lara, Shade, and Dominic turned around to see him standing on one of the nearby rooftops.
"What exactly did we forget," Dominic asked.
"You forgot the fact that I ain't going back with those other five stiffs. I like being part of the outside world and I'm not about to fuse back into one person."
"Too bad. You're coming with us one way or another, so it's probably smarter to give up now when you've got the chance," Lara said.
"Fine. You got me, officer. I'll come down right now," Cool Josh said before jumping down from the rooftop and landing on his feet.
"Let's go, buddy. And I want those shades back."
"Fine. You can have them back." Cool Josh then pulled his sunglasses off before handing them over to Dominic.
"There you go," Cool Josh said as he handed Dominic the sunglasses.
"Thanks," Dominic said before Cool Josh grabbed his wrist.
"What the...?" Dominic was cut off mid-sentence when ice covered his entire body.
"Think I'm called Cool Josh just because of how I look? Think again, losers! I'm able to freeze anyone on the spot before they have time to blink."
"You're not gonna get away with this, you know."
"I think I will and you'll let me," Cool Josh said.
"The heck we will. You're going down." Lara then morphed into action before bringing out her Omega Fans. The minute she tried to strike, Cool Josh froze her by stopping her Omega Fans short.
"Two down, three to go." Cool Josh then summoned a storm of ice shards and aimed them at Shade, Sonia, and Manik. Sonia and Manik were able to avoid the shards with ease, but Shade's shirt was torn by one of the shards.
"My shirt! That does it! Chaos Spear," Shade said before forming a Chaos Spear and launching it at Cool Josh.
"Nice try," Cool Josh said before catching the Chaos Spear before it could strike him and freezing it.
"You're gonna pay for that!"
"I like to see you try." Cool Josh then rolled up into a sphere of ice before launching himself at Shade and knocking him off his feet.
"Man, that hurt," Shade said as he lied on the ground.
"I'm glad it did," Cool Josh said as he freed himself from the ice sphere.
"Don't think you'll win. This battle isn't over yet." Shade then threw a punch at Cool Josh, who caught it before freezing Shade.
"It's over now. Just two more to go." Cool Josh then formed an Ice Bow before grabbing an Ice Arrow and aiming it at Sonia.
"Say good night," Cool Josh said before releasing the arrow and watching it launch itself at Sonia's heart. Seconds before Sonia could become frozen much like the others, Manik pushed her out of the way, took the shot, and felt the sheer coldness of the arrow freeze his body solid.
"Damn it!"
"Manik, are you all right," Sonia asked.
"He can't hear you. None of your friends can hear you," Cool Josh said before creating an Ice Hammer. "You're the last to fall, Sonia. If you're smart, you would give up right now."
"She is smart, but she'd never surrender to the likes of you," Josh said as he appeared as a spirit.
"Impossible," Cool Josh said.
"Josh, you're really here."
"I am, Sonia, but only as a spirit. That doesn't matter. It's about time someone taught this guy a lesson."
"How are we gonna do that," Sonia asked.
"Just stand completely still," Josh said before fusing himself with Sonia. The fusion caused Sonia's fur to become a mix of brown and black and one of her eyes to become golden.
"This is how we're gonna teach Cool Josh a lesson?"
'You guessed it. It's the only way. With my powers, it's a guaranteed victory.'
"A fusion with the spirit of your boyfriend won't do anything. I'm still gonna win and you know it, Sonia."
"That's entirely your opinion. You're the one who'll go down in defeat," Sonia said before her arms turned into Earth Hammers. "Amazing."
'This is the kind of power I have, hon. Just let me do the work, not being sexist or anything,' Josh's spirit said.
"It's alright. I know what you mean," Sonia said before using her Earth Hammers to send a shockwave through the ground that knocked Cool Josh off his feet.
"Uncool! That was seriously not cool," Cool Josh said as he got to his feet.
"What do you know about being cool?"
"You did not just ask me that question. Now you're really gonna get it! Ice Blade Slash!"
"Fire Shield," Sonia called out as she made a shield of pure fire that deflected Cool Josh's attack.
"Looks like that fusion did do something after all," Cool Josh said.
"You got that right."
"But that still doesn't give you the edge over me! Ice Wave!"
"Lunar Blaster," Sonia called out before shooting a beam of pure lunar energy and destroying the Ice Wave.
"Care to give up now?"
"Never," Cool Josh said, exhausted.
"Sounds like you're about to drop to the floor," Sonia said.
"Then you're hearing things. Ice Punch!"
"Electric Punch!" Cool Josh and Sonia's attacks met each other and created a blast of energy that knocked both of them back. At both ends, Sonia and C. Josh lied on the ground, each covered with dirt and bruises from the bout.
"Give up yet," Sonia asked as she and C. Josh got up from the ground.
"It ain't over until the fat lady sings," C. Josh said before collapsing to the ground.
"Game, set, and match. Now to get these Joshes fused back together."
