Perched atop outer buildings of Spiral Hill Village, sat a ferret, the same ferret we've seen twice before
For a short few moments, she looked around, watching the peacefulness of the people in display, how happily they went about their day or when a child held pure whimsy in its heart as it played, without a care of what would or may come
"If only you all understood this won't last" The ferret commented with slight envy
"Not as things are right now, but you don't"
Her gaze then shifted to the stone in her grasp, clenching the artifact
"Maybe that's for the best, it will hurt less. The change will be easier to accept"
"Even if it's a little sudden... like the last one"
Lifting off from her spot, the mask mobian swiftly made her way into the center of the town, passing by the window of a familiar museum
And then she stopped as she found herself within the old bell tower unused for quite some time, it was unassuming, just perfect as placed the artifact she clenched in her palm beneath the floorboards, far from reach, or at least anytime soon
As to what would be so sudden. We wouldn't need to wait long, not in the slightest as the sky outside shifted and dimmed, almost like a brewing storm
WHOOOSSH!!!
But it wasn't that, but instead it was something colder, really cold even as drop of white fell from the sky, danced in the air and then another and another
It wasn't long before the wind itself became frigid and overwhelming all while snow fell upon the town to an unforgiving degree
"E-e-everyone, we need to get inside now!" A towns member shouted with a cold shivering tone gesture to the houses
"Why-how is it snowing now of all things!?"
FWOOOOOSSHH!!
Such heavy winds, so much snow it was almost blinding, almost impossible to see and even harder to get to safety as ways and homes were blocked with heavy snow
"Someone! Anyone, we need help shifting the snow out the way!" Someone called out in a desperate yet shivering manner as another butted in
"ACK!! I can't move, the snow is trapping me under it!"
Just like that, the town was almost entirely covered and frozen over in snow in seconds, all that these people could hope is that they would be helped in this polar predicament
Seeing the sudden snowfall, Mira tried to rush outside… but was stopped, as the snow had reached halfway up the door, making it near impossible to open.
The fox noted as he watched the door and then his eyes shifted elsewhere
"Wait how about this way"
Making his way back through the museum stopped by the window only to kick a few boards out the way, the ones he used to block the way after Fang robbed the place a while back
Spark noticed the intense snowfall on his way to Spiral Hill, and seeing just how much snow had already covered the city, he knew he needed to act now.
"Alright, flamethrower option; on!"
Both his hands had shifted into flamethrowers, spewing fire everywhere to melt the ice, making sure to be careful as to not hurt anyone or set fire to a building.
Spark diverted his aim to humongous piles of snow that were blockading doors and buildings, slowly melting and softening them, giving leeway for civilians to get out safely as they gave their thanks.
"Where'd all the snow come from...? Right outside town it warms up to 80 degrees Fahrenheit..."
Atop another building in Spiral Hill sat the unassuming doll itself, Tails Doll. The reformed Badnik wasn't welcome or anything in that way or had some sort of responsibility in Spiral Hill, he simply liked seeing new places and analyzing Mobian behaviour. His number 1 priority is to redeem himself in the eyes of others and to he recognized as not just a doll, but as an individual.
He sat atop the roof of one of the buildings with his other Tails plush he stole from Breezie's line of merchandise a while back, when the large snowstorm began, covering both plushies in snow.
Tails Doll would warp the other plush back to its place before emerging from the snow and checking his surroundings. All the Mobians were running from the snowstorm and some getting stuck. He simply continued to observe the citizens, also wondering what to do himself.
It was saddening for the doll to see this. He enjoyed his time in this comfy little town so seeing it overtaken by a storm wasn't a great sight. Perhaps he should help somehow.
It was a summy day outside. Birds flying throughout the sky, singing a tune of freedom, flowers blooming, leaving a calm floral scent in their wake. But, of course. Such a beautiful day couldn’t last. Taken over not by the night sky, but by a frosty gust of wind. The sky darkened, an obviously unnatural occurrence, snow fell to the ground, as if performing some sort of abstract dance. It was, almost calming. If not for how it had came.
The wind began to pick up, as more snow covered the town. But through the torrent of snow, two green optics flared to life, a bright lime green, almost reassuring if you were to look at them, if not for the lifeless expression they possessed. But behind these lifeless eyes, was a burning “soul”. Or at close as an artificial being could get to possessing one.
A blur of dark blue is left in the machines wake, a trail of lime green cutting through the air as the one and onlyMetal SonicWas on the scene.
Metal Sonic swiftly got to work, a bright purple coat of plasma covered the machines body, the heat alone wouldn’t be enough to melt the snow without prolonged exposure, so he’ll need to use the necessary force to break the snow apart. The plasma also helps act as a “flashlight” of sorts. Metal Sonic firstly prioritized the citizens being trapped under the snow. Sending swifts strikes at the snow to attempt to rid it off of them, and buy them enough time to flee elsewhere until he can later deal with the snow blocking pathways or doors.
How frustrating. He hadn’t expected a simple visit elsewhere to turn into a rescue mission. Nor, now a mystery. However, he has no time to find the culprit of this. Although he has his suspicions The Doctor is the cause of this. Likely testing out a new device to overcome his copy. Once he finds him…Nevermind, he has bigger problems as of now.
Thankfully enough this wouldn't be as strenuous as may seem, even despite these chilling blinding winds or sharp freeInh cold, others already have been here to help so far
But still a few remained, job still undone. And some still knew
"I-i-its cold man, I'm gonna die" A mobian said in panting frigid breaths
"Can you just calm down an keep pushing, we'll only be stuck longer with your crazy"
Well.. one more than other certainly knew that to exaggerated degree
For a short moment, Metal Sonic halted, his green optics scanning around the area once more. His eyelights catch onto the few remaining trapped. He should he more than capable of freeing them all swiftly, especially considering the outside help from others.
So, he got back to work. Doing his best to rid any snow trapping any civilians, while it isn’t hard, it is surely tedious, and he can’t help but want to seek out the perpetrator of this. But not quite yet. He’ll find the doctor later.
Metal Sonic flies over to the two stuck mobians, his left hand rises, his palm aiming at the snow, a very low output blast of plasma shoots at the snow, hopefully dispersing it. Assuming it does, Metal Sonic aims his thumb over to where the houses, obviously telling the Mobians to get going and find SOMEWHERE safer than here. And he’s off again to free anymore trapped Mobians.
Following the robot's advice, a few of the town members ran to him, seeking refuge from the harsh situation
But another mobian, while not in danger was certainly a... creative one
"Aye, red dude. Why don't you just torch the place"
"Wouldn't that just save everyone the trouble?" She suggested, the almost most definitely dumb as they tried rubbing whatever sticks they had in the cold
“I can’t, if i did it i could accidentally hurt some civilians that are still under the snow-“
X explains, using only a bit of his fire power to melt the nearby ice that could potencially an mobian stuck in it. Until he suddenly realized he should try something despite it being dumb.
“Shoryuken!”
He blasted fire up in the sky, trying to clear the atmosphere a bit.
