Stanford's new hairstyle will be there. Have enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 9

The next day, the MBF5 were in the Training room practicing for their fighting skills and control their mutations. One of the team is missing; Stanford, "Where the heck is Stanford," Agura asked, "Probably over slept and fixing his hair," Spinner joked, "That's not funny big bro," Sherman groaned, annoying his older brother's stupid jokes.

"Sorry, I'm late everyone," Stanford walked in the Training room, "'Bout time man. And… whoa, Stan?" Zoom said just as he sees the new hairstyle from Stanford. The mutant serpent teen's new hairstyle is neck-length with bangs almost covering his left eye, "Whoa, dude… your hair looks… looks," A.J. began, "Great," Spinner finished Stanford smiled at that, "Thank you."

"Stan… did you went to the salon to have a haircut," Vert asked, "No. I just cut my hair myself," he said and that shocked his team, "Really? How do that," Spinner asked before the serpent teen could answer, Sage's voice suddenly rang up, "Mutant Battle Force 5, report," the MBF5 rush to the Hub's command station and once they got there, "What is it, Sage?" Vert asked, "I detected another Mobi. It's in the Ice Zone," when Sage mention "ice" that made Zoom mutter hating about ice, "Ice… why have to be ice?"

Vert told the Cortez Bros to stand by. So A.J. come along the mission. As the team went through the StormShock portal they arrived the Ice Zone, "Okay guys. Let's find that Mobi," his team nodded and drives throughout the icy canyon. While on their way to search the Mobi, Stanford's eyelids began to feel heavy, "Huh? Why am I sleepy? I've just took a nicely sleep last night." He muttered himself.

Suddenly, two flare wheels appeared out of nowhere as they hit the icy cliff causing an avalanche, "Whoa! Avalanche," A.J. exclaimed Vert and his mutant teammates drove away fast before it crash on to them, "Looks like the RS5 are here," Agura said, "Stanford, A.J., you guys find the Mobi. Agura, Zoom with me. Let's go!" The team splits up. Stanford and A.J. drives through the icy canyon, "Yo, Stan. Have you pick up somethin'?" The arctic fox asked, "The Mobi is somewhere around," Stanford said trying to ignore his heavy eyelids.

As Stanford tracks down the Mobi using the echo-map to find it. "The Mobi is inside the ice cave." Stanford informed rubbing his eyes, "Dude, you okay man?" A.J. asked, "Yes, I'm fine don't worry," he said as Stanford and A.J. went in the ice cave. "I just hope the other are okay," A.J. said, "They'll be fine," the mutant serpent teen said with a yawn, "Dude, are you sleepy?"

"Of course not." He said, "It's look you're really sleepy. Have you get a goodnight sleep," the arctic fox said, "Of course I have a goodnight sleep. But I dunno why I'm so sleepy when we enter this zone," Stanford said then a beep sound was heard, "I think we found it, lad." Stanford activate his sonic cannons a blast and it hit something causing the invisible Mobi to visible, "Alright! We found it," A.J. said.

The two mutants drove inside the Mobi Stanford typed the password by using the five prime numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11. The Mobi's systems are now online, "Okay. Now we have to help the others" Stanford said before rubbing his right arm, "Stan, are you alright," A.J. asked feeling worry about the mutant serpent teen, "So… sleepy…" Stanford suddenly collapse and A.J. caught him just in time, "Hey! Stan, wake up!" He shakes him hard but Stanford was very heavily sleeping.

With the MBF5, Vert and his two teammates were able to defeat Krytus and his teammates, "Nice work, guys. Now let's find Stan and A.J. if they already found the Mobi yet," Vert said when A.J.'s voice is heard from the com-link system with a panic tone, "Vert, guys, do you read me?"

"We read you, A.J. What's wrong," Vert asked, "It's Stanford!" He yelled causing his team in shock, "What's wrong with Stanford," Agura asked, "I dunno. But he's heavily asleep now and I can't wake him up!"

"We're on our way. Sit tight buddy," Vert said A.J. gave their location and they immediately went over there. As they arrived they see Stanford deeply asleep in A.J.'s arms. Agura place a hand against Stanford's forehead, "He's so cold. A.J., what happen when you and Stan found this Mobi," the mutant leopard asked, "I… really don't know. Before we found the Mobi, Stan started to feel sleepy and I could see his eyelids were getting heavy."

"This isn't good…" Agura muttered she placed her fingers against Stanford's neck which shocks her that his heart rate is getting lower, "We need him back to Earth now," she said, "Agura, what's wrong with him," Vert asked, "His heart rate is lowering. And if we don't get back to Earth, Stanford will freeze to death," shocking the three mutants the immediately start up the Mobi and went back to Earth portal.

In the Hub, the team and Sage were in the Medical room. Sage was trying her best to help Stanford, the team look so worried Vert turn to face Agura, "Agura, do you know anything about Stanford?" He asked, "Yes. I should have realized. I read about the wild life about snakes. Snakes have weakness about cold. Like winter day snakes are going to sleep the whole winter day until summer comes. But they need to find shelter to keep them warm but if they didn't find shelter they would die if they sleep during winter day." She explained, "Since Stanford is the mutant serpent he got effected too, by the Ice Zone. And very close to death."

Shocking team they look over to Stanford who still asleep. Tezz walk over and stand next the bed, "Sage, how is he?" The mutant wolf asked, "He'll be fine. His heart rate is still very low. Stanford will wake up in 5 days tops," Sage said, "That's a long sleep for him," Spinner said, "Maybe we shouldn't bring Stanford in cold place Battle Zone for now," Vert said looking down at Stanford, he sleeps very peaceful alright.

"I've never seen sleep so peaceful," A.J. said, "Yeah. He looks cute," Spinner said with a grin, "Let's not disturb him. Leave him in pace once he's fully better now," Tezz said. The team leaves the Medical room while Sage monitor Stanford's state.

Stanford main weakness is cold. It would be very a bit scary when he almost freeze to death. The next chapter will come up soon.
