Chapter 14 Toxic and Trust
"so you're the guardian of the emeralds, then Freeze" said Sonic as he did some warm ups to keep warm while the others was near a camp fire. "yes" said Freeze as she sat on the shrine steps. "…so what happen to your world?". Freeze got up and took off her hood to reveal she a light blue cat. "look bud! We're not friends, so leave me alone" said Freeze as she left the room. "…what's her problem?". "don't let her get to you Sonic man. She just not that social with people" said Vector as he took off his headphones. "yeah Sonic. She will open up in time. She just need to know you guys" said Charmy as he was cooking some hotdogs. "I guess. She reminds me of someone…" said Sonic as he turn to Blaze. "…why are you looking at me Sonic?". "…o no reason". Sonic dash off where Freeze went and saw her looking at a wall filled with pictures of people and places. "…what do you want?". "…nothing". Freeze sigh and turn to Sonic. "…ten years ago, a monster made of water appear and attack the world and flooded it. A hedgehog in shiny white fur appear and tried to stop the monster but failed. So the hero use all his power to freeze the monster but in doing so, he froze the world. The hero disappear and the emeralds of ice fell from the sky where he was hovering. This underground city was made so my people could live". "…I see but where is everyone?". "…five years ago, a cloak figure appear above the city and demanded the emeralds but we couldn't give it to him because the emeralds were the power supply for the city at the time. Then he release a disease across the city. The last remaining soldiers fought him and was able to send him away. The top doctors made a cure for the disease but they could only make enough for one person. I was given the shot. I have no idea why I was given the cure…I was alone…" said Freeze as she started to cry. Suddenly Freeze felt Sonic hugging her. "…your not alone anymore. You can come with us". "…come with you?". "yeah. The person that attack your world is part of a group that follows a hedgehog name Nazo" said Sonic as he let her go. "…I don't know…I can't even trust you guys". suddenly the temple started to shake. Both of them return to the others and everyone headed outside to find a cloak figure shooting beams of green energy at the temple. "finally you answer! So it looks like a few survive my virus!" said the cloak figure as she landed in front of them. Sonic and the others was ready for a fight till Freeze ran up to the figure and stab her in the head with her sword. Freeze step back in shock to see the figure pull out the sword and toss it to the ground. "…someone ready to die!". then everyone saw the figure take off her hood to reveal a dark green bat. Suddenly green mist appear around her and slowly covering the park. "that mist! Everyone get out of here!" yelled Freeze. "what! We can't let you fight that batgirl on your own!" yelled Blaze. Freeze summon a wall of ice and block them from helping. "…just get the emeralds and go!". Freeze summon two ice swords and rush into the mist of poison and vanish. Blaze created a fireball and was about to destroy the wall but Sonic grab her hand and stop her. "Sonic?". "…lets get the emeralds and leave while we still have the time!". Blaze was about to say no but suddenly saw Sonic fist shaking in anger. "…okay…" said Blaze as the fireball disappear. Everyone enter the temple and ran to the chamber and got the emeralds. Sonic took out the yellow chaos emerald and use chaos control and everyone reappear next to the dropship. Blaze saw everyone enter the ship but notice Sonic was still looking back. Sonic turn away and was about to enter the dropship in till the ground started to shake and soon something shot out of the ground and hover above Sonic and Blaze. The batgirl was holding a badly injure Freeze by her leg and smile. "the names Toxic. Give me the emeralds or this girl is dead" said Toxic as she created a ball of poisoning mist. "Sonic!" said Blaze. Sonic took off his backpack and took out the emeralds. "good! Leave them there and will toss you the girl". "…don't! leave!" said Freeze in pain. Sonic didn't listen and place the emeralds on the ground and step back. Toxic hover down to the ground and toss Freeze to Sonic. Sonic caught her and saw Toxic picking up the emeralds. "…why?". Sonic look down to Freeze and smile. Toxic gather all the emeralds and was shock to see them vanish. "what! What's going on!" yelled Toxic at Sonic. Suddenly Toxic saw Sliver above them. "…nice…you use his power to create a Illusion". Soon the emeralds started to spin around Sonic, Blaze, Sliver and Freeze. "…Freeze! You got to trust others…if you don't then you'll always be alone…" said Sonic. Soon Freeze felt a old feeling she lost fives years ago and shed a tear. "…yes…trust my…friends…". soon a light blue flash appear and Sonic, Blaze, Sliver and Freeze fur were now shiny white. They were in their Freezing form. "…four on one…seems like a unfair fight…for YOU!" said Toxic as she sent out waves of snakes which are made up of poison gas from her body. Freeze summon her ice sword and slash a few, while Sliver blasted a few from attacking the dropship. "Tails! Get out of here!" said Sliver. Tails activated the ship and took off back to the Hyperion. Blaze shot a cold blue fireball at Toxic but Toxic summon a snake to take the hit. Unaware of Toxic, Sonic appear be hide her. "take this! Ice Blast!". soon a blast of ice hit Toxic and sent her to Freeze and Blaze. Both girls use their spin dash and tackle into Toxic a few times and kick her to the ground where Sliver was waiting. Sliver rose the snow around him and form four spears and stab Toxic in the chest. Toxic quickly blasted Sliver away from her and pulled out each spear and started to spin very fast and soon a tornado of poison was created. "get a load of this!" yelled Toxic as millions of snakes shot of the tornado and tried to grab Sonic and the others into the poison tornado. They tried their best to dodge the snakes but sadly failed and was drag into the tornado. They hold their breath and tried to attack Toxic who was in the center of the tornado but couldn't get through, thanks to the strong wind. Sonic and the others grab each other hands and started to spin. Soon a tornado of ice was created and chancel Toxic and their tornado outs and they landed on the ground. Toxic was about to attack but stop as a grey male lizard appear in front of her. "Steel? What are you doing here?". suddenly Steel touch Toxic and both disappear. Sonic and the others return to their normal form and saw the Hyperion in the sky. Sliver and Blaze wave to the ship while Sonic turn around and saw Freeze on her knees. "are you okay?". "…I am now…" said Freeze as she blush.
