Plot[]

(Cortex, Uka Uka, Zazz and Master Zik show up in the other side of Tropical Coast as they land on the cliff to spy on Sonic and Crash on their way to look for more fruit)

Cortex: Here we are again to the destination of the Freedom Fighters.
Uka Uka: This isn't the way to the Freedom Fighters.
Zik: I can clearly see Sonic and Crash leaving their group behind to look for more fruit and walking on their way to the cliff. I must be making my way to set up a introduction. *jump out of the Moon Mech to land on the cliff*
Zazz: What's the hold up? Are you going to distract them like you did with us during training?
Zik: Just wait and see for yourself.
Cortex: *hold his blaster gun* We are ready to shoot the bandicoot and hedgehog. I hope they like some toxic beams on their bodies. *evil laugh*
Sonic: Here we are Crash. I know this place got a bunch of fruits standing on the trees.
Crash: *itch his head and look at a glimpse of Master Zik* Uh oh.
Sonic: What's wrong Crash? Don't you want to bring in more fruit so we can make more fruit punch on the way back?
Crash: *point at Master Zik to Sonic* Ah!
Sonic: Like what in the name of pointing you want to show me for? *see a glimpse of Master Zik* What the what?
Crash: *confused* Ooh?
Sonic: What in the world is that thing?
Zik: Hello Sonic and bandicoot. We meet again.
Sonic: Am I blind? *close his eyes and open them eye to see Zik for a better close-up* Master Zik!
Crash: *shocked* Whoa!
Zik: Your time is almost over, brash hedgehog and bandicoot. I shall prepare for you a lesson in respect. A painful lesson. *throw his walking stick against Sonic and Crash as the two dodge with the Zeti grabbing it*
Sonic: Watch where you're throwing, old Zeti!
Crash: Grrr!
Zik: You need some training as well. With education.
Sonic: Oh, someone's gonna get taken to school, all right.
Zik: I have heard about the events in Desert Ruins. You fight so well with Zomom and Eggman and Cortex's forces.
Sonic: What about him and the forces of Eggman and Cortex?
Zik: Zomom is so kind. He can eat up a big sandwich like the mouth of a alligator. Eggman and Cortex want you dead and gone. *jump towards them and point his stick at them* I will punish you for failing the test!
Sonic: For failing the test?! Ha! We don't go to school anymore.
Crash: Ha ha.
Zik: Let's learn some karate, shall we?
Sonic: If you bet and say so. *fight Zik* Is that better?
Zik: No. I'll like to see more from you. *fight Sonic with his stick and point at Crash* Don't just stand here and do nothing. You have to participate to fight!
Crash: *gulp and scared*
Sonic: Come on Crash, just help me out.
Crash: *resigns and fight Zik* Aah!!!
Zik: Knock it off! *dodge Crash's punches and kick him to the tree*
Sonic: Crash! Oh, I'm going to rip your stick apart! *grab Zik's stick*
Zik: *grab the stick from Sonic* Don't make me break it.
Sonic: Oh, you will see how much your love for your stick will be crushed when we rip it in half together.
Zik: I may need some assistant here. Zazz, come here!
Zazz: *laugh while riding on his Moon Mech* I am back for more tricks! Don't you even think about getting away with my floating ball bot in the air! *laugh*
Sonic: Oh no. Zazz?
Zik: Follow if you dare. *hit Sonic and run off*
Sonic: Ouch. You're pay for this!
Zazz: Don't forget the bullets. *use his Moon Mech to shoot bullets at Sonic and Crash while laughing*
Sonic: The Moon Mech now shoot bullets out of the mouth? Come on! That's a lazy effort on the mech! I'm going after the Zeti!
Crash: Uh oh. *run with Sonic*
Zazz: Come back here! Don't you want a picture?
Zik: The battle has finally begun.
Cortex: I should have shoot them first on the way. But now the battle is getting serious. *chase the group with his hoverboard*
Uka Uka: Let's go!

(The background song "Dangerous Ground" by Crush 40 plays as Sonic and Crash are on the run by chasing Zik as Zazz continue to chase off the two heroes by shooting bullets out of his Moon Mech during the chase)

Zazz: You're not going anywhere on the beach! Stay in the position!
Sonic: I know better. *glow and curl up to a ball to hit Zazz's Moon Mech many times*
Zazz: My Moon Mech! You are not going to destroy my Moon Mech!
Sonic: Take it easy! You're not riding on a little toy's giant toy anymore. *proceeds to speed up and bash Zazz's Moon Mech* Boing! Over here! Over here! Ooooh, gotcha! Boing! *his final hit knocks a component loose, and he comes to a stop with it in his hand*
Crash: *fight Zik*
Zik: You need to learn how to chop. *chop Crash*
Crash: Ah ah. *feel the pain on his head*
Zik: *punch Crash* Hyaa!
Zazz: *hold Sonic's ball form* Slam dunk! *slam Sonic to the ground*
Sonic: Ugh, I hurt the back of my quill.
Zazz: Now let's see what you are made of as the doctor is here.
Crash: Grrr. *punch Zik and throw a apple at Zazz's Moon Mech*
Zazz: Watch my Moon Mech, sicko!
Sonic: A apple a day keep the Zeti away. *throw a apple at Zazz*
Zazz: Ah stupid. I'm gonna crush you like a cannonball. *crush a apple and eat it*
Sonic: You don't have to be picky like Zomom. *roll and smash Zazz*
Zazz: Gah! *fall off the Moon Mech to the ground* Stop comparing me to people I know like Zomom.
Sonic: *spin around the Moon Mech to bash it* Man, how built is this object with extra protection?
Zazz: *get up* Heh heh heh. You'll never destroy it in seconds. *slap Sonic to the wall*
Sonic: *crash to the wall and fall off* Ow... Seriously?
Zazz: Crazy cool, brother!
Zik: *dodge Crash's hits and knock him out* You lose! Good day sir.
Aku Aku: *show up* Not if I taught you a lesson. *float the rocks and throw them at Zik*
Zik: *get hit by the rocks* A spirit mask! Where are you coming from?
Aku Aku: I'm going to whip you like a beard. Don't come near my guardian.
Zik: Are you related to Uka Uka? Cause you look like a relative to the evil spirit mask.
Aku Aku: Uka Uka is my brother you whip! Why are you sneaking up like that?
Zik: In that case, I will be telling Uka Uka on you and informing Eggman and Cortex about your team's arrival. *run off*
Aku Aku: Oh no you don't. You're not leaving without a snap! *chase Zik*
Crash: Uh oh. *chase Aku Aku and Zik*
Sonic: You guys are leaving? Wait up! *chase his group*
Zazz: Don't leave hedgehog. You haven't even finish the battle yet! *use his Moon Mech to chase his group*
Cortex: Wait up!
Uka Uka: The hedgehog and bandicoot are on the run!

(The background song end as Sonic, Crash and Aku Aku chase after Master Zik as Zazz is still chasing them with his Moon Mech all over Tropical Coast through the sand and islands)

Zik: *hop through the rocks* Sneaky little tattle tails are trying to get on my back. They don't deserve noodles and fortune cookies for dinner tonight! *punch the palm trees at the team*
Sonic: Whoa! *dodge the palm trees* Watch the nature there, teacher Zeti!
Zik: You still haven't completed the training yet.
Sonic: Are you trying to cheat yourself?
Crash: *suspicious* Ooh.
Zik: You never know when to ask! *spin kick at Sonic*
Sonic: Gah! *crash on the tree*
Crash: Whoa!
Zazz: I got you now! *grab Crash*
Crash: Oh no!
Zazz: Ha ha ha. I got him! I got the bandicoot. Yes! You are coming with us.
Sonic: Hey. You let go of my bandicoot friend or else.
Zik: Pay attention to me, not on the bandicoot.
Sonic: Oh yeah. Stop pay close attention to the other side and focus on me! *jump and about to punch Zik as Cortex show up by shooting Sonic* Oh. *crash down*
Crash: Ah!
Zazz: Yes!
Cortex: I got the hedgehog first. I knew the toxic beam could work on him.
Uka Uka: With two down, we got the rest to catch up.
Zazz: Alright bandicoot. This Moon Mech is gonna make you a nice snack of burger bits on the inside. Get in there, fool! *throw Crash to the Moon Mech*
Crash: *hold on to the Moon Mech's mouth* Ah!
Zazz: Bite it you big mech! *hit on the Moon Mech*
Crash: *dodge from the Moon Mech as the mech shoot everywhere* Whoa!
Zazz: Come on you mech! Stop shaking around like a Pinata!
Uka Uka: The bandicoot is attempting to escape!
Zik: I won't let him get away without a spanking. *jump and spank Crash* You're spanked!
Sonic: *glow his eyes with energy as he curl up to a ball to destroy the Moon Mech, crashing Zazz and Zik down to the ground*
Cortex: You can't escape or leave, hedgehog.
Sonic: Race me to the finish line! *run fast*
Cortex: You can't get away, hedgehog! *chase after Sonic*
Uka Uka: Here we go again!
Zazz: No one going anywhere! *chase the group*
Zik: Wait up, fast boy!
Crash: Uh oh.
Aku Aku: Hold onto me Crash. We'll follow the hedgehog. *Crash hold on to him to follow the group*
Omochao: Wait! Don't leave me all behind! *chase the group*

(Sonic run all over Tropical Coast while being chased by Cortex with Cortex shooting toxic beams all over the islands with the hedgehog jumping back and forth with Zazz and Zik chasing him by jumping over the rocks and floating platforms. Sonic reach on his way to the spot where his friends are as he is blocked by Zazz and Zik on the way.)

Zazz: Come to papa.
Zik: Return to the teacher and your paperwork.
Sonic: Not in class. *zoom fast at Zazz and Zik and reach to his friends*
Coco: You're back! What's with the hurry?
Sonic: You guys gotta go. There is no time to explain.
Tails: You didn't grab all the fruits in time with Crash?
Sonic: *throw a ring to open up a portal to Desert Ruins* Get to the Tornado and pick me up there.
Knuckles: You're crazy. You're doing this as a trick, right?
Sonic: The Deadly Six are back. Now go!
Crunch: Already?!
Tawna: Let's just get this over with.
Amy: To the Tornado! *she and her group jump to the ring portal to Desert Ruins to get on the Tornado as the ring portal closes with Sonic confronting Cortex*
Cortex: You tell your friends on us and make them escape to prevent us from killing your friends? Shame on you hedgehog. You are no better than a wombat and bandicoot combined.
Sonic: I'm protecting my friends as always. You can't find them all over the Hex because of you. Let's play a game of cat and mouse on the islands. *run all over Tropical Coast.
Cortex: You won't get away with this hedgehog! *chase Sonic*
Uka Uka: Wait up! Zetis, this way! *chase Sonic with Cortex, Zazz and Zik*
Crash: *see Sonic running all over Tropical Coast* Uh oh.
Aku Aku: The hedgehog is running all over the coast. We better keep up on where he goes.
Omochao: It's like the hedgehog is taking on a free ride!

(Sonic run all over the islands as he race pass the water with Cortex chasing the hedgehog with Uka Uka as Zazz and Zik swim fast to chase the hedgehog)

Sonic: I can run on water? Sweet. I hate water. Why it always have to be water when I'm running? *dodge the shots* Whoa! Watch the water!
Cortex: Don't go hedgehog. I got a surprise for you!
Sonic: Uh? *Zazz and Zik pop up on him* Yao! *Zazz and Zik grab him in the water as they fight all over the sea and jump on a underwater tube to grind on a grind rail* Whoosh, that was a big snooze water fest.
Zazz: *pop out of the water to grind on the rail with Zik* I'm going to make you a lollipop for you, hedgehog!
Zik: Grinding on the grind rails may be fun, but how about tripping on the rails with the tip of your toes! *throw a stick a Sonic*
Sonic: Hey! *jump around the rails with Zazz and Zik chasing him*
Zazz: Come back here! I wanna bite your nose!
Zik: Eating a hedgehog would taste like a fried rat.
Sonic: *ride on a minecart* You still can't catch me! Do you.
Zazz: *ride on a minecart with Zik* You're not going anywhere!
Zik: Get back on the spot, student!
Sonic: I'm no student. I'm a free man! *throw a ring to open up a portal to the island as he ride on the minecart to the island while being chased by Zazz and Zik*
Cortex: I found him!
Uka Uka: How about the rocks block the hedgehog from going. *use his powers to move the rock edges to block Sonic*
Sonic: *pass by all the rock edges with Zazz and Zik* Nailed it again!
Zazz: What was that?
Zik: I don't know. The rocks are moving like a rolling pin.
Uka Uka: Double drat! The hedgehog passed them.
Cortex: But the good news is, Zazz and Zik didn't get hit!
Uka Uka: You do realize, the hedgehog is going into our spot.
Cortex: Uh oh. We gotta warn Eggman. Eggman!

(Eggman and the other bad guys are chilling in the beach as Eggman eat his ice cream with Orbot and Cubot using the leaves to give him some air with Metal Sonic picking up the trays)

Eggman: Alona, Tropical Coast. The Lost Hex just got a whole new vacation spot to chill in.
Orbot: You need some fresh air?
Eggman: I already got air. Don't you see me chilling while you guys hold the leaves up?
Cubot: Should we grab a bigger one?
Eggman: You guys don't understand my questions. What am I going to do with you two?
Metal Sonic: Eggman, the hedgehog is about to make his arrival to our spot.
Eggman: What?
Sonic: *about to run into Eggman's spot* I got you now Eggman!
Eggman: Oh no! Sonic's coming and we gotta hide!
N. Tropy: How about we escape back?! *open a portal up to Lava Mountain*
Metal Sonic: This way my friends. *he and the group rush back into Lava Mountain via a portal*
Cortex: Wait up Eggman!
Eggman: Let's go!
Sonic: No. You won't escape without a attack.
Zavok: *block the portal* Here come the pain. *power punch at Sonic to destroy a rock edge*
Aku Aku: Sonic!
Crash: No!
Omochao: Oh brother.
Zazz: Ha ha ha ha! We got him again!
Zik: Lesson learned. The hedgehog have failed the training.
Zavok: Where did your Moon riding mech go?
Zazz: It blew up in pieces. I need a new one.
Zavok: Dr. Eggman will build you a new one when we come back. *he and the Deadly Six get shot by the bullets* Stupid bullets!
Tails: *show up with the Tornado and his team* We got you surrounded, Deadly Six!
Zavok: No! *roar*
Eggman: That's it. I'm outta here. *head back to Lava Mountain via a portal with N. Tropy*
Cortex: Wait for us! *ride on his hoverboard back to Lava Mountain via a portal with Uka Uka*
Knuckles: The villains are escaping. Hope we can take down the Deadly Six together.
Zavok: Deadly Six, throw the rocks at the biplane!
Zik: Let's play some rock. *throw the rocks with the Deadly Six at the Tornado*
Tawna: Watch the rocks, Zetis!
Amy: Watch where the rocks are hiding.
Tails: They're everywhere. I don't know what to do.
Crunch: You have a chance of shooting the Deadly Six. Now go shoot them like chickens.
Tails: I got you covered. *shoot bullets at the Deadly Six*
Zavok: *roar* Make them suffer!
Zomom: One big rock coming up. *throw a big rock at the Tornado*
Knuckles: Dodge!
Tails: Hold on! *move the biplane to dodge a big rock throw*
Zomom: I missed!
Zazz: The plane is getting away!
Zik: Where it turning now?
Aku Aku: Over here! Over here!
Crash: Ah ah ah!
Tails: Crash! We gotta get to Crash!
Amy: But where did Sonic go?
Sonic: *get up* My friends... *trip down*
Coco: Sonic is tripping down. We gotta get outta here and retreat to another place.
Tails: I'm on my way. Just hold on tight while I'll go get Crash and Sonic to safety.
Crash: *land on the Tornado with Aku Aku and Omochao* Ha ha.
Aku Aku: We made it to safety. Do you see Sonic right here? Grab him and let's go.
Tails: But I can't reach when I'm riding on the plane.
Aku Aku: Well one of us have to go get him.
Zavok: You won't pick up the hedgehog that easy. *run to the island*
Zeena: Zavok, they're escaping again!
Zor: It's gonna be even more lamer when they escape off to various places.
Zavok: I got the hedgehog right now! *jump to the island*
Tails: We're too late!
Sonic: Uh oh. *Zavok show up in front of him as the Zeti grab him*
Zavok: You are coming with us to the Lava Mountain, fast boy! *Tails trap him with electric wire ropes* No! Deceiver!
Aku Aku: Sonic, over here to the plane!
Sonic: *curl up as a ball to roll around the island and pop into the biplane as Crunch grab him*
Crunch: Home run! *place Sonic down*
Sonic: *get up* Thanks Crunch.
Crunch: Any time.
Zavok: Curse you all! *break out of the electric wire ropes*
Sonic: Thank you very much you guys. There is always another chance on stopping the Deadly Six.
Knuckles: Man, you almost got taken away by that red Zeti.
Tawna: You would have been crushed by Zavok by now. But you manage to save yourself.
Sonic: We're all back together after the chase. Tails, where are we going next?
Tails: *hold his Miles Electric to locate another area to travel to* According to my readings, the next destination we're about to go to is the Frozen Factory.
Sonic: We're going to the Frozen Factory? Ooh, it's gonna be chilly on the way out.
Coco: We may have promise to bring a sweater, but we forgot.
Amy: We're good without sweaters. We survived many snow themed areas without sweaters.
Aku Aku: We're better off safe without freezing on a ice cube.
Omochao: No cold weather is gonna freeze our bodies to the ground.
Knuckles: You never know when to freeze on a cold wind.
Sonic: Once the snowballs start rolling, we'll be turned into snow cones.
Crunch: We will never be snow cones in a million of years, right Tawna?
Tawna: I would be turned into a orange flavored ice cream instead.

(After the escape, the rest of the Deadly Six comfort Zavok after a failed attempt to catch Sonic at Tropical Coast)

Zik: Are you alright Zavok?
Zavok: No I'm not.
Zazz: You're more than alright.
Zavok: I lost. I lost my chance to capture the hedgehog. I know where they are going next and we know where they are.
Zomom: They could be heading over to the Frozen Factory.
Zavok: Are you sure Zomom?
Zomom: I don't know. You tell me.
Zavok: You asked the question first and I was suppose to answer it. But you didn't give out a full answer.
Zomom: Never mind then.
Zavok: What do you mean "Never mind then?"
Zeena: He thinks the Freedom Fighters are heading over to the Frozen Factory.
Zor: Yeah. I think we should inform the news to Eggman and Cortex.
Zavok: Ugh, even with those two dorks running the empire. Alright. We'll go tell them if they pick us up. If not, we'll just go out by ourselves to chase after the Freedom Fighters.
Zik: I should say, we should go and track down after the heroes.
Zavok: You got it. My group, follow me while we jump around the islands and take down the pesky Freedom Fighters. *jump on the islands with his group*

(Back at Lava Mountain, Eggman and Cortex's empire have returned after the encounter with Sonic and Eggman and Cortex give the group a heads up and ask about the Deadly Six's whereabouts)

Eggman: Oof. We escaped.
Cortex: We almost got blasted away by the hedgehog. Is everyone okay?
Nina: Yes Uncle Cortex.
Komodo Joe: We are more than okay.
Komodo Moe: Glad we didn't get hit by one shot.
Pinstripe: The hedgehog didn't cut my Tammy gun in half. Am I right?
Dingodile: Do you really have to care about your guns?
Pinstripe: No. What is your problem then?
Metal Sonic: Where did the Deadly Six go?
Eggman: They were here. They must be taking a long time to get back while fighting the hedgehog.
Cortex: I should say we should track down the Deadly Six on where they're going.
Eggman: You got a point there Cortex. To the computer.
Uka Uka: We should have pick them up by one use of a portal.
Eggman: *use his computer to locate the Deadly Six* With the computer on, I still got the map of the Lost Hex and now locating the targets of the Deadly Six.
Orbot: The red dot shows that they are moving.
Cubot: The same happen with the Freedom Fighters.
Eggman: *locate the Deadly Six* There it is! I finally found them.
Metal Sonic: They must be jumping all over Tropical Coast and making their way to the Frozen Factory.
Cortex: The Frozen Factory. Eh. It freezes like ice. Do you think the Zetis would survive all the cold weather from going through the big winds?
Eggman: They are made to be unstoppable. I'm pretty sure they survive hot temperatures and cold temperatures after all these years of ruling the Lost Hex with their own power.
Cortex: Something tell me the Freedom Fighters are on their way to the Frozen Factory with the Deadly Six following along.
N. Tropy: This could be a good time to catch up with the Deadly Six as we are about to spy on the Freedom Fighters even more.
Uka Uka: Yes. We will end their lives for good.
Eggman: We'll see about that Sonic and Crash. You'll never find us in the Frozen Factory. *evil laugh*

(Back with Sonic and Crash's gang, Tails is riding on the Tornado with everyone as they are about to suffer some cold temperature by flying into the big clouds on their way to the Froen Factory)

Tails: It's starting to get chilly here.
Sonic: So cold. It's like being stuck in a fridge.
Crash: *cover himself from the cold weather*
Aku Aku: It's okay Crash. We'll find a warm place to chill once we get out of the cloudy sky.
Omochao: But we are in the cloudy sky.
Aku Aku: I know. You don't have to remind us.
Omochao: At least, it's starting to snow in the surface of the sky.
Tails: I can see all the snowflakes falling. Can you feel it?
Knuckles: *feel the snow* Yeah. Little drops of snowflakes.
Coco: Aren't they like ice leaves?
Crunch: It's just a flake. The ice flake is called a snowflake for sure.
Tawna: We heard that. When are we going to get to the Frozen Factory? I can feel the connection within the weather.
Amy: *use the Miles Electric to locate Frozen Factory* Good news you guys. We are about to arrive at the Frozen Factory.
Sonic: Already? Take a look at the icy wonderful Frozen Factory.

(Sonic and Crash's gang arrive at the Frozen Factory, a floating factory around an ice-themed area, which is seen to have snowboarding sections, rotating gears and crushers inside it. Like other worlds in the Lost Hex, there are also other separated zones with their own features, such as a casino-themed zone.)

Aku Aku: It got a floating Frozen Factory and down below is a snowy valley with icebergs and frozen rinks.
Omochao: This place is like a mix of Ice Factory or Frozen Forest combined.
Knuckles: Pffft. You can never compare other ice places like the Ice Cap Zone.
Coco: Unless you wanna take a icy ride on the Polar Pass.
Crunch: Where are we going to land?
Tawna: There is a parking space, just like how a jet park on a pad in a secret agency place.
Amy: I see one right here.
Sonic: It's gotta be at the factory.
Crash: He he.
Tails: We're making a effort. Time to head for a parking space.

(Sonic and Crash's gang land at the Frozen Factory with Tails parking the Tornado with the gang getting out and exploring the whole Frozen Factory on tour)

Omochao: Some paths will require to skate on a skateboard.
Sonic: On a skateboard? Since when?
Knuckles: He's joking. We're suppose to ride with a snowboard!
Omochao: Ah. A snowboard. I see what you mean there, echidna.
Tails: Skate along the icy paths of Frozen Factory at lightning speed as the mechanical arctic islands turn into a casino filled extravaganza.
Coco: There is a casino?
Tails: Yeah. It got a casino. It's like a big city with a bunch of games to play.
Crunch: Never knew they built a casino inside of a factory.
Tails: The casino is separate from the factory. We still got time to hang out before going to the casino.
Tawna: We're not in a rush to save the world while we're on tour.
Amy: Whatever Aku Aku decides if we can explore all the fun in the Frozen Factory or not.
Aku Aku: I should say, let's go have some fun in the icy factory.
Everyone: Yeah!
Sonic: Aku Aku is right. We're going to have a holly jolly joyride with it.
Tails: This just in, we're about to celebrate with a snowy and icy joyride on the snow land.

(Sonic and Crash's gang celebrate at Frozen Factory as Sonic and Crash slide with their snowboards all over the factory as Tails and Knuckles jump around the tubes with Coco and Crunch ice skating on the ice rink and doing pirouettes when jumping on ice. Tawna and Amy push the tubes to unlock a lot of treasure to grab a bunch of ice balls. Sonic curl up as a ball to bump through the Bumpers and Springs as Crash follow along by jumping on the platforms. Aku Aku and Omochao dodge the crushers in the factory as they catch up with the group as the group snowboard all over and sliding their way to the ice-themed zone outside of the Frozen Factory. The gang then skate on the ice rink as Sonic hold Amy up in love and later on, the gang throw a snowball fight together as each of the team hide through snowmen to throw the snowballs at the base as one of them keep getting knocked out during the snowball fight. The gang then make a lot of snowmen-themed ice sculptures such as a gem, wumpa fruit, log, Polar, Pura, Spear, dollar and a ring. The gang land on the snow together to make some snow rakes as they laugh in celebration together. The Deadly Six arrive at the Frozen Factory as they keep on looking around the factory to search for the heroes as they keep breaking down all the engines and doors to find the heroes.)

Zavok: Where are the heroes?! *slam a door* No!
Zomom: *open a chest* Not in there.
Zik: *open the windows* Not on the window on a afternoon hour.
Zeena: Not on the walls. At least my nails are dried up.
Zazz: *break through the ice walls* They're not frozen! They can't be in there.
Zor: Not in the whole factory. So lame you guys that, I have to give you all the bad news for a misery of bad luck.
Zavok: You guys are killing me. Where are the Freedom Fighters?! Answer me!
Zik: Boy, we're late to the party. They're not in the Frozen Factory.
Zavok: Well there got to be! They better not be sneaking up on me and throwing sharp snowflakes on my back! *look at Zeena filing her nails* Why are you still here?
Zeena: I'm just getting ready.
Zavok: Well, you seem to be taking your time.
Zeena: Well, it is my time to take now isn't it?
Zavok: Well what if I told you that you were the only one I trusted to be fast enough, smart enough, and pretty enough to beat the blue nuisance?
Zeena: Well, I'd say you have the right girl for the job! *giggle*
Zomom: What about us?
Zavok: Stop asking the same question when you already had a chance! *push Zomom to the wall*
Zazz: Whoa, easy there! You're not going to go crazy over a lady, are you?
Zavok: Of course not. The lady should have been first as usual. I should have tell you all earlier before the return of Eggman with his French fry friend and his coworkers.
Zik: There is no right and wrong answers, Zavok.
Zomom: What is wrong with you? Why you didn't give me a sandwich when we got out of the Tropical Coast?
Zavok: Cause we didn't return home yet! *roar*
Zeena: *snap* You guys are so loud. I'm going to finish my nails in a quiet place before I take down all the Freedom Fighters. *flips her hair and jump off the factory*
Zor: Lame.
Zavok: What's so lame about it, Zor?
Zor: They're all lame days. Nothing can be better without a win.
Zavok: You know son. We always win and lose. It's part of winning and losing in your strengths. I want to see some character in your heart and kill it by going for a triumph on beating all the Freedom Fighters. If Zeena loses, you have a chance on defeating the Freedom Fighters next.
Zor: Yes! I will have a chance to strive my grand prize!
Zazz: *shake his tongue* Wow.
Zomom: I'm still not ready to fight again without a sandwich.
Zik: We got a bright future for all of us, right Zavok.
Zavok: Well, yeah. That was so easy I almost feel guilty. *glare*

(Back at the snowy valley outside of Frozen Factory, the Freedom Fighters make a bunch of igloos as they set up a camp there with snow sculptures of blocks to act as a base)

Sonic: We got a snow fortress in the making!
Crash: He he. *make a snowman*
Coco: That's a good sample of a snowman, Crash.
Crunch: We got all the igloos in place. Build with lot of love.
Tawna: We add in a lot of care into those ice houses.
Amy: They are igloos. That's where a penguin would reside in.
Tawna: You mean like Penta and Gurin Penguin? That's a fact.
Tails: *make a snowball* I made the biggest snowball in the world! Who else could top on this big boy?
Knuckles: A big snowball? This give me a idea. How about a two-foot snowman?! *place a big snowball on top of a big snowball*
Tails: Really Knuckles? Now you made a two-feet snowman. That doesn't even count as a snowman without another snowball in the middle.
Knuckles: Duh, it's still a snowman. You know, like making a scarecrow with a puppet face on top including a pumpkin on top of the face.
Omochao: The pumpkin is the face you know, for a scarecrow.
Knuckles: *caught Omochao* Dude!
Omochao: I wasn't trying to be annoying.
Knuckles: You're messing with me! Now I mess with you!
Tails: Stop. Take it easy. Omochao isn't meant to annoy people like Eggman.
Knuckles: He's far worse from Eggman. Why couldn't we pick up Emerl for the trip over Omochao.
Omochao: I am far the better ally than Emerl. You can always count on me.
Knuckles: *facepalm* That's it. I'm done. I'm giving up for the day.
Tails: But you can't just give up over a argument.
Knuckles: I can make my own promises. We'll stop here and continue the quest tomorrow morning.
Sonic: Oh brother. Me and Crash are going to take a walk.
Crash: Ooh?
Aku Aku: Oh, you want a walk? You should take a break by walking.
Sonic: We heard. We just needed a break from the group for a while.
Omochao: That's what we like to hear from you.
Tawna: Do whatever you have to boys. We'll still be here, waiting for you to come back.
Sonic: We'll be right back. Just needed some time-off still.
Amy: Stay safe. Don't talk to any stranger you don't know.
Sonic: Stranger? We're like the only ones in the Lost Hex including the forces of Eggman and Cortex. The Deadly Six are still here using their abuse of power to destroy the world. We're not leaving the Hex without kicking all the bad guys out of the lost continent.
Amy: Do whatever you have to. Just don't freeze in the middle of the snow.
Sonic: Me and Crash won't freeze in the snow, right bud?
Crash: He he.
Coco: I know I trusted you two on this one as always.
Amy: You know, they always fall into situation traps like the time they encounter Metallix late at night in the woods.
Aku Aku: That's another story. Let alone have the boys go out in the snow forest.
Sonic: Come on Crash. We'll have a moment in the snow forest together.
Crash: *walk with Sonic* He he he.
Omochao: I wonder where the boys are heading to. As long they don't fall on a frozen rink which freeze them into fridge ice cubes.
Aku Aku: You guys are in good shape.
Knuckles: Thank god, that annoying Chao is gone for a while, so I can sit back and relax on my shoes.
Tails: Have you been wearing the same shoes for all your life like the Echidna tribe?
Knuckles: They been wearing shoes like mine for centuries. Still the sharpest in shape.
Tails: Nice. I bet you roll yourself into a nice candy wrapper.
Knuckles: Beats a bubblegum.
Tails: I'm so over a lollipop.

(Zeena arrives at the snow forest as she stand on a tree stump to fill her nails while Sonic and Crash are walking on their way where they are about to meet her at her spot)

Zeena: So quiet, so cold, so peaceful. I can finally get my nails done by filling and drying them like paint. *see Sonic and Crash walking on the way* Ugh, I can't with those two. I'll just ignore them like a normal lady. *fill her nails*
Sonic: I never expect to come to a forest with all the snow covered up like ice cream with frosting on top.
Crash: He he.
Sonic: I've seen people putting whip cream on their ice cream sundaes. It tasted amazing as a ice cream bar. Could a ice cream with fruits on top worked? That's a yes.
Crash: Ooh. *see Zeena at the tree stump* Err.
Sonic: Oh, man. It's Zeena. Even through it's a woman, I gotta make up her way in her beauty image.
Zeena: *distracted by Sonic and Crash's arrival* Uh, hello? Can I help you?
Sonic: Hello sweetheart. Still trying to make a snowcone?
Zeena: Excuse me? Are you trying to call me a sweetheart? Also, you're disturbing my nail drying moment!
Crash: Huh?
Sonic: Move it or beat it. I know you're trying to work alongside the Deadly Six.
Zeena: I am. What make you think of a stalker you are.
Sonic: You're calling me a stalker now? What is wrong with you and what have gotten into you lately?
Zeena: I don't like your attitude here hedgehog. Zavok want you destroyed. *get up* Now you made me distract my nail filling moment and you're going to make me fight you into the snow hill.
Sonic: Oh my gosh, are you serious? I'm so, so sorry.
Crash: *embarrassed* Uh oh.
Zeena: You're not sorry for ruining my nail art. You are just throwing me off the coat. How about we have a little dance between you and me, and your bandicoot friend.
Crash: *confused* Huh?
Sonic: Crash, I don't like the looks of her. She sound like one edgy girl from her 10s.
Zeena: Well, in that case...You're going to pay for that... As soon as my nails dry!
Sonic: *embarrassed* Oh no, what I meant to say is I am so sorry that you have nothing more important to do in life.
Zeena: I have more important in my life than running behind your shoes! *jump and smash on the ice to drift Sonic and Crash*
Sonic: Whoa! It's a shuffle on the ice.
Crash: *shake around*
Aku Aku: It's okay Crash. It's just a shuffle like a rumble and earthquake.
Omochao: It's a ice shuffle!
Sonic: *charge up with lightning* Let's see how a big boy play with a big girl.
Zeena: Your superpowers are too good to fight a woman Zeti.
Crash: Grrr!
Sonic: You and me, over here.
Zeena: Time to play with the big boys.

(The background song "Down and Dirty" by Crush 40 plays as Zeena fight Sonic and Crash with Sonic punching Zeena as Crash throw snowballs at Zeena by spinning with Crash spinning to charge a electric attack with both of them blasting at the tree from the damage)

Zeena: Nice spin with thunder, bandicoot. But you are far from being defeated. *get up*
Crash: *get up* Grrr.
Sonic: Now it's my time to shine. *fight Zeena*
Zeena: *punch Sonic* Ha ha ha. Take it easy, blue hedgehog.
Sonic: *dodge the punches from Zeena* You forgot this! *power punch at Zeena*
Zeena: *crash on a snowman* Ugh! You ruined my nail art even more!
Sonic: Your nails are already dry on the cold weather! Stop being so spoiled like a whiner.
Zeena: Let's play something big, like a snowball fight! *throw snowballs at Sonic*
Sonic: Snowball fight! *throw snowballs at Zeena*
Crash: *throw snowballs at Aku Aku* Ooh ooh ah ah ha.
Aku Aku: *annoyed while arriving with Omochao* Not on me Crash! The Zeti girl!
Crash: Oops. *throw snowballs at Zeena*
Omochao: I'm glad he didn't mistake me for a enemy.
Zeena: Ow! Stop throwing snowballs at me! What is wrong with you two?
Sonic: You want a bigger snowball? Here come the bigger snowball. *form a big snowball to throw it against Zeena*
Zeena: *roar with Chaos energy to blast all the snow at Sonic and Crash* Go away!
Sonic: Whoa!
Crash: Aah! *crash to the iceberg with Sonic*
Sonic: *move away from the water on the iceberg* Aah! Not water! Even worse, frozen.
Zeena: *land down on the iceberg* Hey baby, how about we tip on the iceberg like all seals do. How about that?
Sonic: You wanna tip? Let's tip for more fun. *curl up as a ball to tip on the iceberg*
Crash: *try to stay still while avoiding falling off to the water* Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa.
Zeena: You're going to get my nails done after ruining them a third time! *Sonic bounce on the ice to lift Zeena up to the cliff* Moron!
Sonic: *curl back* Man, I can't with that girl.
Zeena: How about a big iceberg smash? *jump and smash on the iceberg*
Sonic: Holy ice! *crash to the water with Crash*
Zeena: *swim with Chaos energy while burning off the ice and snow while swimming and grab Sonic and Crash out of the water by throwing them in the ice river as she get up on one of the icebergs* Are you choking with water?
Sonic: *spit some water out with Crash* How are your nails now?
Zeena: Still horrible. You are such a creep.
Sonic: You can go easy on me if you want.
Zeena: Let's see about that, fur boy. *jump around the icebergs to fight Sonic and Crash*
Aku Aku: I better break these icebergs to trip the female Zeti over. *shoot lasers to break one of the lasers*
Sonic: Whoa. Why are the icebergs breaking? *Zeena punch him to the snow*
Crash: Uh oh!
Aku Aku: Oops.
Omochao: Aku Aku.
Aku Aku: I should have know better.
Zeena: *jump and punch Sonic in the snow* Any last words before I end the fight?
Sonic: No. I'm good. *glow and spin with Zeena all over the snow*
Crash: Ah! *chase after Sonic and Zeena fighting*
Aku Aku: I don't know what is put into the fight, but I gotta go check on them. *follow Sonic, Crash and Zeena*
Omochao: Don't leave me behind!

(The background song end as Sonic and Crash continue to fight Zeena while chasing on the snow with Aku Aku and Omochao following them to the snow hill)

Sonic: *run with Zeena to slap each other out* So rude. You keep on slapping like what a teenage girl always does.
Zeena: You leave me alone or else! *slap Sonic*
Sonic: Oof. *roll over as a snowball as the snowball keep on getting bigger*
Crash: *see a snowball getting bigger* Uh oh.
Zeena: Ha ha ha. *jump on Sonic rolling as a snowball* You're a big snow cone now. That's for disturbing my nail polish moment.
Crash: *grab a half-log and snowboard to chase Zeena as Aku Aku catch up with him*
Aku Aku: No worries Crash. I'm on your side.
Omochao: Let's go!
Crash: He he. *throw Aku Aku at Zeena*
Zeena: *get hit by Aku Aku* Hey! Watch where you're throwing, bandicoot!
Crash: Grrr. *jump on the snowball to fight Zeena*
Aku Aku: Be careful Crash. You're going to destroy the whole Frozen Factory!
Crash: Uh oh. *get punched by Zeena*
Omochao: Oh!
Zeena: What are you looking at? Look at me, not on the snow.
Crash: Err. *fight Zeena*
Zeena: Jeez, you are bad at punching.
Crash: Aah! *slap Zeena*
Zeena: Can you learn how to treat a women with dignity? *kick Crash*
Crash: Oof. *trip on the snowball as he get roll over on the snowball*
Zeena: *ride on the snowball* Ha ha ha. Now it's time to crash the entire Frozen Factory into pieces.
Aku Aku: Oh no. That is going to smash the whole snow valley into a mess of piles.
Omochao: We gotta go warn the Freedom Fighters about the big Avalanche crash coming into their hideout!

(Back at the snowy valley camp site, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Coco, Crunch and Tawna are still in their igloos, chilling with warm air as they got out of their igloos to chill more with the cold air)

Tails: Ah, yeah. Feel the chill.
Knuckles: We got the snow fever on our igloos.
Amy: The ice never melt in the cold weather. Those igloos will always last long in the camp site we just made.
Coco: It could have been a snow fort.
Crunch: Judging by the size, those snow blocks are good spots for us to hide so the Deadly Six don't see us on the way by stalking.
Tawna: They'll never stalk us with one glimpse of their eye.
Aku Aku: *show up with Omochao* Guys, we're in trouble!
Tails: You're in trouble? Where did Sonic and Crash went?
Knuckles: Did you leave them behind?
Omochao: Stranger danger coming ahead!
Tawna: What is the stranger danger have to do with you two? Everything is just fine.
Tails: *see the snow and ice shuffling* Now I see the snow and ice shuffling to set up a rumble and earthquake.
Aku Aku: Well look at yourselves to see a big Avalanche coming this way.
Crunch: *his group watch a big snowball coming ahead with Zeena rolling it* Holy snowballs!
Zeena: Stay here! Let me make you a nice snow cone out of your faces!
Coco: What should we do?
Tawna: That big gigantic snowball is gonna kill us. It also will crush the whole snow valley apart without any chance on stopping it.
Knuckles: Back up a little! It's going to get a bit snowy. *glows and power smash at the big snowball, spreading snow all over the place by crashing Zeena down with Sonic and Crash coming out of the snowball*
Zavok: *in Frozen Factory finding out about the attack* Zeena.
Zik: What happen my boy?
Zavok: Zeena is in trouble. I know the power of the echidna have done all the damage in her with the snowball effect.
Zazz: Well we gotta save her for nothing.
Zomom: Yeah. Let's go pick up Zeena and get out of here.
Zor: You know she's calling for help.
Zavok: Let's destroy the Freedom Fighters for ourselves. *his group jump off the Frozen Factory to catch up with Zeena*
Sonic: *get up with Crash after the blast* Iceberg snowballs! I almost got sick!
Crash: Hoo hoo hoooo.
Amy: Sonic!
Coco: Crash!
Tawna: Thank god these guys are awake.
Knuckles: What the hell have happen with you two?
Zeena: Ugh! You ruined me! You even crack my nail art! Now you're going to pay another nail prop with a nail dryer!
Sonic: My head. I got a brain freeze.
Crash: *break the ice out of his skin* Ooh.
Aku Aku; Wake up! You two are okay. Tell me, what it feel like to be roll over by a giant snowball?
Omochao: You guys are staying alive.
Amy: The Zeti is still on the run as she is about to give us a cootie.
Zeena: Can you really defeat a Zeti without a group? I don't think so.
Sonic: That's it Zeena! Your nail polish hour is over! *curl to a ball to charge at Zeena, only for the rest of the Deadly Six to show up to throw a wind blast at Sonic* Whoa! *crash on the snowmen*
Knuckles: Zavok.
Zeena: You guys are late! Where were you when the hedgehog and bandicoot show up at my face?
Zavok: We heard all the power noise from down below. We came here to help.
Crunch: Now what does these guys want?
Tawna: Still looking for trouble with Eggman and Cortex, huh?
Zik: You all ran off out of the beach to prevent getting threaten by us. You were skipping class!
Amy: Uh uh uh, not in the classroom.
Tails: You hurt our friends, we'll hurt you more.
Zazz: Talk about what happen at Tropical Coast earlier when your friend broke my Moon Mech!
Tails: Let's hope it won't happen again. *shoot a dart gun at Zazz*
Zazz: Ah! The pain!
Zavok: Battle station! *roar and fight the Freedom Fighters*
Crunch: *punch and kick Zor and Zomom* You guys are so big.
Zor: You calling us big? *kick Crunch*
Zomom: Smash! *smash the snow to overthrown at Coco*
Coco: Hey. Knock out the snow! *spin to kick snow at Zor and Zomom*
Zazz: *fight Amy* Stop using that stupid hammer to pow at my legs!
Amy: You're going to feel it on your toes. *use her hammer to slam at Zazz*
Zazz: Yak! *crash on the ice*
Zik: *use his stick to fight Knuckles* You look like you need some improvements on your knuckles.
Knuckles: Seriously? Calling out a strong echidna who have trained for years to fight big foes like you? This is a rip-off! *lightning punch at Zik*
Zavok: *fight Sonic* Don't move! *get hit by Sonic many times* Stop it!
Zeena: *spin at Crash* You are good at spinning. Let's see how good of a spinner you are. *spin a snow wave at Crash*
Crash: Whoa! *get blocked by the snow*
Zavok: *throw ice cubes at Sonic* Eat all the ice cubes you want on your coffee mug!
Sonic: *dodge the ice cubes* Uh uh uh. I am not paying that on my book. *dodge many ice cube throws*
Tawna: *shoot arrows at Zik* You're too weak. Now let me try on the big bad Zeti. *try to shoot a arrow at Zavok as Zavok punch a arrow out* What the? Are you kidding me?
Zavok: I can never be defeated by warriors and animals. Feel the taste of my smash! *glow with Chaos power and smash on the ground to destroy the snow valley, wiping off the snow and ice by blowing the Freedom Fighters and the Deadly Six out*

(Zavok's big smash affected the whole snow area, only to be watched by Eggman and Cortex's empire at the Lava Mountain on the computers)

Eggman: The Deadly Six is still at the snow valley. Turn out Zavok spread out a big blast at the whole snow area, not effecting the Frozen Factory, but everything.
Cortex: It cracked frozen lakes, frozen cliffs and frozen mountains. It break everything like chalkboard markers.
Orbot: Impressive.
Cubot: Did they kill off the Freedom Fighters yet?
Eggman: No. But they are still alive somehow after being blown away.
Orbot: Drat. We were close.
Cubot: They're too strong enough to defeat them all in one day.
Cortex: Darn it. We should have been there to shoot them all.
Metal Sonic: We'll be waiting for the final battle to come.
Uka Uka: I wonder where the Deadly Six would be after the big snow smash at the whole snow area.
