After running through some more of Ice Cap Zone, Sonic found himself alone, near the icy water. "Man, this place is so cool." Sonic says aloud to himself. That's when, a cold wind brushes the hedgehog, making him shiver. "A bit cold though." Sonic says, clutching his body to protect himself from the cold. Sonic started to look around, and he noticed something glowing from inside the snow. "No, it can't be..." Sonic thinks. As Sonic got closer to the glow, it got stronger, until he was right on top of the glowing object. Sonic looks in the ground, and sees the purple Chaos Emerald. "Weird... Why didn't this show up on the emerald radar..?" Sonic asks himself. Sonic thrusts his hand toward the Chaos Emerald, and actually hits ice that had frozen around the Chaos Emerald. "OW!" Sonic yells out in pain as his hand hits the ice. He shakes his hand in pain, and huffs. "How am I gonna get this Chaos Emerald?" Sonic thinks. Sonic thinks for a moment, then comes up with and idea. The blue blur jumps up, and attempts to spin jump through the ice. An even worse decision then trying to punch the ice. As Sonic's spin jump collides with the ice, his head hits the ice, and doesn't make a crack in it. But it does hurt Sonic's head. "OW! OKAY THAT'S FUCKING IT!" Sonic yells out. The blue blur jumps up as high as he can, and attempts to homing attack the ice. The homing attack makes contact with the ice, and does scratch it, but doesn't make a crack. "YOU ARE FUCKING KIDDING ME! WHAT THE FUCK IS WITH THIS ICE!" Sonic yells out. As the blue blur starts to swear, he doesn't notice the light forming behind him.

When the light is fully formed, it is clear that the light is a communication spell, and the one communicating is Princess Celestia. Celestia clears her throat, and arouses the suspicion of the blue blur. Sonic turns around, and sees Princess Celestia. At seeing her, his eyes shrink in embarrassment. "How, how much did you hear?..." Sonic asks in embarrassment. "I had heard most of it. Now, what is thou doing?" Celestia asks Sonic. Sonic rubs the back of his head. "I'm trying to get a Chaos Emerald from inside the ground. So far, no dice..." Sonic says to Celestia. Princess Celestia looks around, and notices that Tails and the others are not with Sonic. "Do tell, where are the others?" Celestia asks. "Don't worry about them, I left Twilight and Rainbow Dash with Tails. They'll be fine." Sonic tells Celestia.

(Meanwhile)

Back with Tails and the two ponies, Twilight is still unconscious. Suddenly, the purple pony wakes up yelling. "NOOOOOO!" Twilight yells out, arousing Tails and Rainbow Dash. "Twily! It's okay!' RD exclaims, hearing her friend yell. Twilight looks over at Tails and Rainbow Dash, and smiles weakly. "Yeah, you're right..." Twilight says to the others. Unknown to the other two, Twilight had the same dream of Rainbow Dash being slowly crushed by one of Eggman's creations, and she is trying to keep it secret so Rainbow Dash doesn't freak out...'

(Back with Sonic)

Sonic is still trying to break through the ice that contains the purple Chaos Emerald with Princess Celestia watching him. "Are you sure thou does not need my help?" Celestia asks. "No way! I got this!" Sonic exclaims, homing attacking the ice around the Chaos Emerald, with still no avail... "Okaayyyyy... Yeah, you don't "Got this"..." Celestia tells Sonic. Princess Celestia uses her magic, and is somehow able to move the sun in Sonic's world closer. The heat from the sun melts the ice around the Chaos Emerald, and Sonic grabs the emerald. "One, thank you. Two, can you move the sun back to its original place before the ground melts away?" Sonic asks as he feels the ground start to melt away at his feet. "Oh, okay" Celestia says to Sonic as she uses her magic to move the sun back into place. "Thanks, now I gotta go, see ya." Sonic tells Princess Celestia. Sonic runs off back to his friends, and the communication portal closes.

(Later)

Sonic finally reaches his friends after a few minutes of running. When he sees his friends, what he sees happened to them, horrifies the blue hedgehog...

Sonic sees his friends in horror, as they are frozen in blocks of ice. "WHO THE FUCK DID THIS!" Sonic yells out. That's when, the blue blur hears a familiar voice coming from above. "That would be me..." The voice says. Eggman, in his Egg Mobile, lowers from the sky, and the Egg Mobile seems to have gotten new attachments. The bottom has this lowering platform, that shoots ice from its sides, and the back of the Egg Mobile has two tanks of gas ice attached to it. (Author: What is the gas form of gas called folks? Honestly, I don't know.) "EGGMAN! HOW DARE YOU DO THIS!" Sonic yells out at his nemesis. "Hmph, well now, it is just me and you, hedgehog." Eggman says. As Eggman finishes his sentence, a bright light comes from Twilight, still frozen in her ice block. When the light disappears, Twilight is free from her block, and she has transformed into Burning Twilight. "Wrong Eggy. Two against one, and you can't freeze fire." Twilight tells Eggman. Sonic turns his head, and his happy expression of Twilight being free quickly turns to fear, as the blue blur remembers his first encounter with that form. "Twilight?... Are you sure you are in control?" Sonic asks. Twilight looks at Sonic, smirking. "Don't worry, this time, I won't try and kill you, Sonic." Twilight tells the blue blur. Sonic gulps, and turns his attention back to Eggman. "Lets do this." Sonic says. Sonic jumps up at the Egg Mobile, hopping to get the first shot. His first attack proves to be useless, as the Egg Mobile rams Sonic, sending the blue blur back to the ground. "OW!" Sonic yells out as the Egg Mobile rams him. Sonic lands back on his feet, and looks at Eggman annoyed. "Now, I'm mad..." Sonic tells Eggman. Sonic starts to run around Eggman, confusing the mad scientist. "WHY YOU!" Eggman yells out, only concentrating on the blue blur. While Eggman is distracted, Twilight starts to charge up an fireball. When Twilight's fireball is fully charged, Sonic stands in front of Twilight and smiles. "HEY EGGY!" Sonic yells out at Eggman. Eggman looks at Sonic, and smiles. "Now I got you, you annoying hedgehog..." Eggman say, inching closer to Sonic. "Nope, I got you" Sonic says to Eggman, smiling. The blue blur jumps away, revealing Twilight, who's fully charged up her fireball attack. Twilight fires the fireball at Eggman, destroying his machine, and sending the mad scientist flying away. Sonic looks at Twilight, and gives her his signature thumbs up. "Thanks Twilight." Sonic says to Twilight. Twilight deactivates her Burning Twilight form, and smiles at Sonic. "No problem." Twilight responds. Sonic looks over at his other two frozen friends, and back at Twilight. "We better unfreeze them." Sonic says to Twilight. "Yeah." Twilight says to Sonic.
