"So, Sally threw her water all over you and you just stormed off out of the restaurant," Barby asked.

"Precisely," Rocket replied as he steered the Invisijet through the icy winds of the arctic.

"Then you started your relationship with Sally."

"Perfect. You understand the whole story."

"I just can't believe that happened," Barby said.

"Neither could I when I found out that Sally and Blaze traded bodies," Rocket said as the Invisijet landed in the middle of the arctic.

"That was some story."

"I told you it was an extremely long story when we took off."

"Well, you definitely warned me," Barby said before the exit opened up and the icy winds from outside made their way inside.

"Man, it must be freezing out there," Josh said.

"You're right about that, Josh. The Invisijet's thermometer detects extremely low temperatures in this region," Rocket said.

"Is there anything that can stop us from freezing to death?"

"I'm with Josh on this one. We shouldn't set foot out there until we have the right gear."

"Which is why I always come prepared," Rocket said before walking over to a panel on one of the cabin walls.

"What are you doing," Barby asked.

"Just getting the right equipment for this environment." Rocket stepped aside seconds before the wall slid open and several jackets and parkas revealed themselves to the others.

"Take your pick," Rocket said. Moments later, Rocket led everyone out into the cold of the arctic.

"Impressive. I'm not even freezing my tail off."

"That's just the kind of person Dad is. He's resourceful, quick-thinking, and is always prepared for any emergency," Josh said as he walked out of the Invisijet.

"That's me in a nutshell, Barby."

"And I'm sure Josh is the same way because he is your son," Barby said.

"I am. Most people say I'm just like Dad."

"Be on your guard, Barby. We're on unfamiliar territory and don't know what will happen," Walt said cautiously.

"Come on, Walt. There's no need to act like that. I don't see any danger for miles," Rocket said.

"Yeah. Cool it, Walt. If Rocket did sense something close to us, he would be doing the same thing you are."

"I would, but I'm not. I can sense anything that'll pop out and surprise us before it truly does." Rocket then shifted his head when he sensed the presence of a figure using the snow to hide itself.

"Show yourself. I know you're there, Guntiver," Rocket said before Guntiver stepped out into the open.

"How did you know he was there," Barby asked.

"I told you I could sense anything nearby."

"Your friend's smart," Guntiver said.

"Thank you and I'm truly sorry about roboticizing you before," Rocket said.

"It's all water under the bridge, Rocket. I've forgiven you and so has the rest of the team."

"What do you mean, Guntiver?"

"After I was deroboticized, I flew out to the arctic to personally apologize to Guntiver and his team about roboticizing them and you."

"Then why didn't you apologize to us," Barby asked.

"Honestly, I forgot all about you and took a nap after I had gotten back to New Mobotropolis," Rocket said.

"I told you he forgot all about us."

"I guess I should have listened to you, Walt."

"Why exactly are you here, Rocket," Guntiver asked.

"Well, it's a long story, Guntiver."

"Like the one you told me on the way over here," Barby asked.

"Not exactly, Barby," Rocket replied.

"We can talk about that over at home base."

"Great idea."

"Right this way," Guntiver said before leading everyone to A.F.F.H.Q.

"There you are, Rocket," Erma said as she handed a mug of hot chocolate to Rocket.

"Thanks, Erma," Rocket said as he took a small sip of his drink.

"No problem at all."

"So what exactly is happening?"

"Well, it seems an ancient spirit from Mobius' past has come back and plans to conquer our world like he has before."

"An ancient spirit? This sounds interesting," Guntiver said.

"Trust me, it won't be interesting once the Thunder Knight sets foot on your turf," Rocket said.

"The Thunder Knight? Is that the ancient spirit you mentioned a few seconds ago?"

"You bet your fur it is."

"So, what's the story on this Thunder Knight," Guntiver asked.

"Long ago, there was a knight that was a true hero in his time. His name was the Thunder Knight and he served his kingdom well. Sadly, the fact that he would never become king drove him mad. He schemed to overthrow the king, but his fellow knights stopped him before he could go through with his plan. The next morning, the knight was executed because of his treason. His spirit still remains in the helmet to this day, waiting for the right person to possess. Few tried on the helmet and were possessed by the Thunder Knight's spirit. Once they were taken over, the individual plotted to conquer Mobius but soon failed. That was their last failure before they were killed from the inside out by the Thunder Knight. Legends say the Thunder Knight still searches for the right person to possess," Rocket said.

"That was truly a story."

"Tell us about it," Walt and Barby both said before they, Guntiver, and Rocket heard hoofbeats nearing their location.

"Come out! I know you're in there," the Thunder Knight shouted as he stood in front of the A.F.F.H.Q.

"Great. He found us. Guntiver, you tell everyone else to stay in here. I'll take care of him."

"I'm on it," Guntiver said before Rocket walked out of the room.
