Connie the Hedgecat: I try, but they're villains so it's a little hard for me. Bad guys just seem most likely to curse.

Chapter 7: Ice Golem?!

After walking through the light, the two Hooligans saw themselves in a large room, everything made completely out of ice. The floor was frozen solid as were the walls surrounding the gap the two mercenaries walked themselves in. In the middle of the room was a straw nest with not one, two, but three white Chao Eggs with red spots on them.

"There they are!" Fang shouted as he began running towards the nest, but the weasel slipped on the ice. He slid across the room and slammed into the wall. Needless to say, Fiona was laughing like a mad woman. "Yeah, yeah. Yuck it up." the crossed sharpshooter mumbled.

"Sorry." truly, she wasn't, "But that was just too rich." Fang growled as he pushed himself onto his feet, wobbling slightly from the lack of traction, "Just help me grab the eggs! Remember: we get a good $40,000 per egg!" Fang was never that good at math, but even he knew 40,000 times three was some good cash!

"I hear ya." Fiona nodded as she, unlike her partner, skated gracefully across the ice as she landed next to the delicate nest. Fiona smirked as Fang rolled his eyes. "Don't be jealous, Nack. I'm just that good."

"Whatever. Just swipe the eggs and lets go!" Fang ordered. Fiona snickered as she grabbed an egg. Something was wrong.

The egg shook and rattled in her palm as it began to pulsate. Fiona was shocked by the sudden development of the eggs as they suddenly became incredibly cold. So cold that she felt a rush of pain to her palm as she dropped the egg onto the harsh, frozen floor.

"Watch it, Fox! The buyer won't want it if it's already scrambled!" Fang shouted as he slowly began to make his way toward the eggs.

"Hey! It's not my fault!" Surprisingly, the egg was unscratched.

"Oh, so it's the egg's-" the ground began to rumble as Fang nearly fell over. Both members looked at the egg on the floor as it glowed a powerful white color as well as the other two eggs in the nests. "What the f-" Fang couldn't finish as the ice on the ground began to form a very large creature. It stood on two feet and had a well built body of solid ice. It's arms were balled into fists as it's faceless head glared down at the two thieves.

"You have got to be kidding me." Fiona muttered at the sight of the Ice Golem. She, for the first time in a long time, was scared. Very scared. And why shouldn't she? A 20'0 tall monster made of ice was towering over her and Fang.

"Ya know what? $40,000 doesn't seem all that." Fang gritted his teeth as he grabbed a an AK-47 from his bag, "I'm gonna charge him double that chump change."

"Are you out of your mind?! We're ants compared to that!" Fiona's shriek fell on deaf ears as Fang unloaded a barrage of gunfire at the Ice Golem's leg, the golem unaffected as bullets bounced off.

"Hey! We're not going back without those eggs! Fang the Sniper doesn't walk away empty handed!" Fang declared as the golem lifted his leg to crush both the fox and weasel, the twosome pushing each other out the way as they slid to opposite sides of the room.

"This is crazy, Fang! You're going to get yourself killed!" The declaration was, once again, ignored as Fang shot more rounds at the beast, this time aiming for its face. This, however, seemed to only make it angry as it lifted his fist and threw it down at Fang, preparing to smother him in its frozen furry. "Fang, stop! Just run for it!"

The only thing Fiona could tell was the large ice fist crushing the spot where Fang stood, dust from the ice below bellowing in the air as the fox frantically tried to to see clearly. She was in complete shock as she fell onto her knees. Fang...was dead? He couldn't be dead! She bit her lip as she grabbed her head.

"Oh God...oh God..." she mumbled as she felt as though she was going to have a mental breakdown. The concept of death was not new to the fox, but actually watching your partner die right in front of you would put a great deal of stress on anybody.

"Hey ugly!" Fiona looked shocked at the sound of the voice. It was Fang's. But how!? She looked around and saw the weasel gripping onto the Ice Golem's face with one hand, the other holding onto a gun as he pointed it right at the monster's face with his toothy grin showing. "Smile." Fang pulled the trigger, a ball of fire shooting off. Fang had let loose another Flare Gun, which caused the large monster of ice to 'scream' as he tried to swat the weasel off his face.

Fang was quick to jump away and onto a wall, using his tail as a spring to propel himself to the ground as he tucked and rolled to a wall. Fiona was shocked to see Fang's quick reflexes and thinking and turned back to the golem. The middle of its face was melting and it seemed to be groaning. He swung his hand to slap away the two thieves, the duo were quick to avoid the strike: Fiona by skating out the way and Fang by using his tail to spring himself over it.

"How was that?" Fang asked with a smirked as he pulled out a second Flare Gun.

"You idiot!" Fiona shouted, "I thought you were dead!"

"What? No way I'd die like that!" Fang shouted back he aimed his gun at the Golem, but the ice Golem punched the ground, ice spikes coming out the ground rapidly. "Aw nertz!" Fang cried as Fiona and him tried to avoid the ice spears, one piercing Fang's left leg as the weasel fell over, screaming bloody murder as he grabbed his wounded limb.

"Fang!" Fiona cried as she rushed over to her ally, the weasel unable to stand as his leg dripped blood, the weasel had grit his teeth to prevent more screams, "Are you alright?"

"Y-yeah." The purple weasel mumbled as he tightened his grip on his gun, Fiona quickly swiping it from his hand, "What the hell are you doing?!"

"Shut up." the fox scolded, "You need to stay down. You can't even stand. I'll take care of this." Fiona didn't know why she was doing this. She was ready to quit less than five minutes ago. Maybe seeing Fang fight such an overwhelming opponent, even if its for a petty cause, made her ashamed to fight. Maybe she felt a sudden desire to protect her ally. Whatever the reason, she wasn't gonna let Fang fight.

"Aim for its legs!" Fang shouted as Fiona skated across the ice, Fang slowly trying to do the same. The Ice Golem was quick to notice Fiona as it tried to flatten her with his giant fist. However, Fiona was quick to avoid the punch as she pointed the gun at the Golem, shooting at one of its legs as the fireball burned cleanly through the ice, the golem losing its as it began to fall over, shattering like glass when it hit the floor.

"Nice going, Fiona!" Fang shouted as he dug through his duffle bag, having pulled out some gauze and wrapped it around his leg so he could stand.

"Of course. I'm Fiona Fox." she said smugly as she began walking towards Fang. "Looks like we can collect our eggs and hit the bank!" Fiona cheered. As she walked, she began to hear rumbling.

"Fiona!" Fang cried as he pushed himself forward, knocking himself and Fiona out of the way as they slid across the ice. Fiona was shocked by the sudden save from the wounded Weasel, not quite use to someone risking their own neck for hers.

"Thanks..." the fox thanked awkwardly.

"Whatever. I owed you one." the weasel said back as he helped her up.

"HEY GUYS!" called the familiar voice of the demo duck. Fang and Fiona looked up and saw Bean and Bark on the Marvelous Queen, Bark in the driver seat with the bike mounting a drill on its front. "Get your tails in gear and lets go!"

"Bean! You almost killed me!" Fiona shouted angrily.

"Yeah, watch it!" Fang shouted with her.

"Yeesh. We found ya, didn't we?" Bean asked back.
