Sonic the Hedgehog and the Space Ace Transformers - Episode VIII by Space Ace Part 2 The next morning however we awoke to a surprise we were not expecting at all. Sir Charles Hedgehog "Chuck" came into our bed chamber with shocking news to tell us both. CHUCK: My lord, my lady. You got to come see this. ACE: Huh, whuzzit? CHUCK: It's all white stuff outside the castle, my lord. ACE: White stuff, huh? What are you talking about? CHUCK: Come, I'll show you. Puzzled I followed the robotic hedgehog father of Sonic to the bedroom window that looked out onto the grounds of Castle Acorn and sure enough there was indeed snow covering everything for as far as my eyes could see. Confused, disbelieving I shook my head to clear my mind before looking again. ACE: Snow, does it always get winter on your planet? CHUCK: Not always, lord Ace. At least, not to the best of my knowledge that is. SALLY: Honey, what is it? CHUCK: My lady, take a look at this. SALLY: What-the?! Huuuuuuuh! ACE: It's snow all right. SALLY: No, no way... that's not possible. When did this happen, Chuck? CHUCK: Probably last night, your highness. SALLY: Oh, far out. ACE: I heard that...NOT! SALLY: Oooooooh...KILL! She made a lunge to grab me around the head & neck in a playful choking manner before bopping me on the forehead, laughing teasingly as she whacked away on me, Chuck watching this with humor. ACE: Okay, okay! Ease off, he? SALLY: As you wish...NOT! CHUCK: Good grief, you two always have fun together. We both leered at Sir Charles Hedgehog and nodded in reply before looking out the window again at the snow covering the grounds of the castle. By this time my parents had awoke in the guest bedroom across the way and joined us at the window to view the sights for themselves. EMMETT: Great Scott, it snowed last night? HEATHER: I didn't know it snowed on Mobius. SALLY: No, we hardly get snowstorms or blizzards on Mobius, at least I don't think we do. HEATHER: Really? Just like being in California, Florida or the Hawaiian Islands back home. EMMETT: Exactly, dear. But what could've caused a sudden storm to hit without warning, I wonder. CHUCK: That I cannot explain at first, Dr Brown. EMMETT: Maybe we can find out from Nicole at HQ. SALLY: Good idea, Doc. I'll summon her immediately to get to the bottom of this mystery at once. HEATHER: What about the babies, who's going to watch them? Sally thought about that before asking Mrs. Brown if she would do the honors of taking care of the newborns while she and her king were busy, to which the secretary agreed to take care of the twins since she loved doing that ever since she gave birth to Dexter Brown/Space Ace long ago on Earth. That settled, Sally and I got dressed quickly and rushed off to Freedom Headquarters with my dad in tow. Chuck offered to help Heather look after the babies but she said she would be fine for now, the robotic hedgehog agreed and accompanied Ace, Emmett and Sally to headquarters instead. Meanwhile while that was taking place...at the same time outside Freedom HQ the Freedom Fighters and Power Ranger Autobots were outside looking around at the snow-covered landscape before their shocked-confused eyes. AMY: Gee, this is the first snowstorm we got in a long time. BUNNIE: Aye, very weird if you ask me. NARUTO: Hey, check out that strange looking snowman. GOKU: Yeah, that's the ugliest looking snowman I've ever seen, he-he! SONIC: Oh, yeah? I'll show you a ugly looking snowman, ha! Suddenly it shimmered-glowed with golden light as the hedgehog hero used one of the Warp Rings to make the snow explode off his body, it flew in all directions to splatter onto Naruto, Goku, Bunnie and Amy who cried out in shock, falling onto their butts or sides in the snow as he, Sonic appeared before them to leer-smirk playfully down at them. SONIC: And the flurries in a hurry, at-tah. AMY: Oooooooh, why you... I ought to bash you good. BUNNIE: Thanks, I get the drift. SONIC: Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha...sure you do, cyborg. NARUTO: Augh, he got me! GOKU: Me too, ack! That made Sonic laugh again playfully at the martial arts masters of Ninjitsu and Kung Fu who laughed back with him. Just then other figures stepped into view, that of Tails, Rotor, Antoine, Chris, Cody, Kimberly, Kim, Ron, Ash, James, Jesse with stupid leers on their faces, snowballs in their hands, cocked and poised to throw. KIM: Snowball fight time! RON: Ready snow projectiles, fire! TAILS: Yeehaaw, there they go! Instantly snowballs went sailing back and forth through the air to impact their targets, human and mutant alike who laughed, cried out, ducked-dodged, threw projectiles, etc. This did not go unnoticed by myself, Sally, Emmett and Chuck upon arriving at home base happened to stumble upon this war games in progress. We stood like statues, eyes wide and mouths open in disbelief. EMMETT: Jumping jiggawatts, what on earth? CHUCK: Are they having a snowball fight? ACE: Looks like it, cyborg. SALLY: Good grief, HEY! That got everyone's attentions, human and mutant alike stopped their war games and spun about to see a glowering Sally with arms crossed defiantly staring at them all. SALLY: What are you fools doing, he?! SONIC: Oh, Sally. We were having some fun. TAILS: Yeah, a harmless game of snowball fighting. ACE: I can see that, it looks like you scored hits on each other. AMY: We sure did, tee-he-he. KIMBERLY: No harm. SALLY: No harm?! You could've been hurt doing such a thing like that. EMMETT: Yes, at least take it easy when throwing snowballs so you do not hurt yourselves or worse. ANTOINE: Yes sir. ROTOR: Me too. TEAM ROCKET: We hear and we obey! CHUCK: Good one, you two. The others also apologize for being stupid or reckless in their harmless little game of snowball fighting, Sally relaxed her posture and expression into a friendly gesture and forgave each and every one of them in return, laughing in relief before suddenly an idea popped into her brain, she leered playfully and without warning scooped up a handful of snow, molded it into a snowball and still leering, chuckling to herself turned around snuck up behind me, unseen...called out. SALLY: Oh, Ace? ACE: Yes? SALLY: Take that, ah-ha! Got you, yes! EMMETT: Huuuuuuh?!! CHUCK: Holy cow?! ACE: SALLY: He-he-he-he-he, ahem-hm-hm-hm-hm-hmm-hmmm... SONIC: Uh-oh, you're gonna get it. Without warning I picked up a snowball and tapping Acorn on the shoulder, just as she looked up I let her have it full in the face this time around. ACE: Eat this, butt-head. EMMETT: Junior! CHUCK: Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-haah! SALLY: Ooooooooh, this is WAR! Then she jumped on me, tackling me into the snow and we started wrestling, rolling about as the others whooped it up, forming a ring-circle around the two combatants, Emmett and Chuck unable to stop us from getting out of control while we smacked each other in the face with handful of snow, snarling-grunting and grappling fiercely. Finally dad broke us apart. EMMETT: Enough, already! Quit making an embarrassing scene of each other, shame on you. ACE: Sorry, dad. SALLY: Yes, sorry Dr Brown. KIMBERLY: Whew, saved by the bell. That made everyone laugh again before we all retired into headquarters where Acorn summoned Nicole to begin a world wide weather report of the entire planet. In seconds the computer program came back with the following. NICOLE: Temperatures now at 10 to 15 above zero but falling rapidly, entire planet freezing... ACE: But what can be causing it? SALLY: It must be the heat energy from the planet's core that's being somehow drained away. NICOLE: I believe so, Master Sally...whether it's natural or caused by interference of sorts I cannot say for sure. ACE: It must be the New World Order at it again as usual. Borf must be behind this scheme of his, not to mention Dr Eggman who's helping him as well. EMMETT: Great Scott, those terrorist aliens up to their no good tricks. SALLY: Grrrrrmph, here we go again...NUTS! NICOLE: I shall continue the search pattern to see if it is the nWo Empire at it again... CHUCK: What are those terror bullies up to this time?
