Brr...where am I? It feels like the Antarctic! Looking around, I thought I really was in the Antarctic. Snow fell in all directions, ice covered the ground I was on, and I saw a river with patches of ice on it. Now how do I get out of here? Then I saw her. Ale? "How do you find your way around here?" I asked her, my hand on the ray gun. I'm not taking anymore chances! She looked me over and said, "Mister Fear led me here." I was confused. "Who's Mister Fear?" She didn't answer and she took off running! "Stop!" What is she doing here anyway? I rushed after her, hoping over ice patches, rocks and and the river, determined not to lose her. Not this time! Not this time!
Just when I thought I caught up with her, she did something I would never forget: she melted! No, I'm not joking! She melted before my eyes! The puddle that was once Ale slid into a crack into the wall. She's getting away! Before I could finally catch her, she vanished. "Crap!" Now where do I go? That's when I saw 3 glowing balls that had smaller balls floating around them. They look familiar. Placing them in my backpack, I wandered around for quite a while now. Not knowing where I was at the Mutant's headquarters was bad enough! "Hey..." A weak voice echoed around the halls. I saw what looked like a bunch of molecules floating around in a corner of the area. It looked like they were incomplete. A light bulb would have popped over my head at this point. Collecting the three balls together, I placed them over to the bunch. To my astonishment, the Molecule's took the form of a very familiar looking villain. "Yes! I am complete!" As he laughed maniacally, he looked down at me and stopped. "Magnificent Molecule Man," I said with a frown. "I wondered what happened to you. Did the Mutant finally catch up with you." He looked like he was going to blow himself up like an atomic bomb, but he cooled down. "No. I was doing a few, shall we say, 'searching for clues.'" "You mean snooping?" He glared at me, but he still nodded. "You see, I was wondering why Frightmare wanted to bring me and the Mutant back after your last visit to the comic book world, and what I found was...unspeakable."
The Magnificent Molecule Man had finally lost that loser the Mutant. But he had no time to relax. He had to find the League of Good Guys, tell him what he found and pray that they will let him be an ally...for a while. The Horrifyer, if that thing gets lose, there's no telling what power he will do! Suddenly, he saw him. A figure wearing a black hooded cloak, gloves, hat and boots. The hat hid his face, but Molecule Man could see a pair of orange eyes shining under the hat. "I know why the Mutant and Frightmare are working for you," he shouted. "I swear, if it's the last thing I do, Mister Fear, I won't let you hurt anymore people!" The figure, Mister Fear laughed. "Why do you insist on fighting us, Molecule Man? What I have in store is the only option for this world and the next." "No! What you will do will destroy everything! You have no idea about the power that will be unleashed!" Mister Fear laughed. His voice was ice. "Such bravado for a bunch of atoms. I thought you were different than the rest, but maybe not. You have served your purpose." "What?!" Three molecule balls burst out of Molecule Man's body and split into three directions. Mister Fear said, "If you're incomplete, you can't stabilize your form. That's your one weakness." In an instant, Molecule Man fell into a pile of atoms, unable to move. "Now go join Skipper. I believe Mutant and his friends already sent him to his own prison."
"And that's how I ended up here," he concluded. I looked up at him in suspicion. "Who is this Mister Fear? And what's a Horrifyer?" Molecule Man tapped his chin with his finger. "I believe that he might be the master mind behind all of this, and he's using Frightmare, the Mutant and his goons to create the Horrifyer. As for what it does, I have no idea. The blueprints were either incomplete or were deleted by Mister Fear." I still wasn't convinced. "And you're telling me this why? I thought you wanted to rule the world." He snarled, "Not if someone else is in my way! And besides...I hate being a henchman. Where's the fun in being someone who takes orders, when you can tell them?" He laughed a little, then he frowned. "And there's also the fact that you and I are in a life debt now. You saved my life, so I have to save yours. Blech!" "And why should I trust you with helping stop this evil plan?" "Because you wouldn't last long in this ice box without my help!" I looked down for a while and thought this over. As much as I hated it, Molecule Man was probably my only chance of getting out.
"Fine. But no tricks." He traced an X on his chest. "Cross my heart." As we traversed across the ice path, I had one last question for him. "Have you seen a girl?" He shook his head. "About my age, wears purple clothes, has a hat, sunglasses and a scarf hiding her face? Name is Ale?" Again he shook his head. "Sorry, haven't seen anything like that. Why?" "She's the reason why I was brought here, although, I can't tell if she's working for the Mutant, or against him. I mean, she did show me a few ways out of traps and led me to you." "Why can't you find her?" he asked. "She keeps disappearing. And I think I figured out how. She's a changeling like the Mutant." Molecule Man thought this over. "Very interesting. Well, she's not the Mutant in disguise, otherwise you'd be dead by now." "And Frightmare isn't her. He did say that if he finds me, he'll won't be merciful." He paused. "Do you think it's...Oh, no, not you!"
Chinchilla was standing on an ice berg above us with an army of penguins on each side of her. "Oh, goodie!" she sang. "We have new players! Warriors!" The penguins armed themselves with hockey pads, helmets, sticks and pucks. "Attack!"
