Iced Over

[spike]

Angie flew down onto the island. She looked around, waiting for the others. She then saw a bunch of scenery up ahead, but it was covered in a blanket of ice. She shivered as a gush of wind blew past her. "If only I knew what I was in for…" She mumbled.

[Doug]

Doug squatted down and charged his light, a faint glowing aura of pure white slowly fading in around his body. He was a gifted runner thanks to his Photokinetic abilities enhancing his speed abilities, but he could not at all run at the speed of light. Doug took a deep breath, muttering something under his breath as he then got up and began running, then a sort of flash effect occurred as Doug began sprinting at high speeds after the others toward the island. "Come on... Come on!" Doug muttered and then shouted. "We can make it, guys!" He said to induce optimism and motivation.

[Symph]

It was a shame, realizing that out of all four of them, she was the slowest, but Symph kept dashing as fast as possible. Arthur had pointed out an island far ahead, barely visible through the snow, which wasn't too far away.

Her foot slipped on the ice, causing her to tumble forward. She sent out her hands in front of her, bracing her impact onto the solid ice. The wind was knocked out of her, causing her to temporarily freeze, attempting to find her breath. Symph scrambled to find a foothold to push herself off the ground with, but her heels slipped on every surface around her.

"Guys!" she called out. Just great. This was the second time she needed saving, and she didn't like it one bit. Making herself look weak was the last thing she wanted to do in front of two guys, especially when she knew she could take them on in combat.

[Doug]

Doug skidded to a stop, falling back and quickly bouncing back into standing. He then ran over to her and scooped her off the ground, then spun around and pulled her along as he went into another "Light Burst Dash" which created another flash as he ran off for the island again. He took a breath of relief, knowing the new friend or ally or whatever he could call her would be okay. "Well, good thing I got ya, eh?" Doug said with a relieved smile as he continued running along toward the island, having a grip on her arm or somewhere on her... XD

[TheMindsofTheMany]

Their little running around seemed to have attracted the attention of a helicopter. Most likely who ever was piloting thought they were just a group of skiers having trouble with thin ice and began to lower to offer assistance. As a repel rope dropped down at the island a blond otter slid down it till the crunch of his boots signaled he had reached the bottom. As the rope lifted back up the wind from the helicopter cleared a small area of snow but also sent some up a bit in a light foggy appearing wall.

The otter waited for those returning to the Island as he fixed his gloves. His coat looked warm but not exactly up to this standard of cold, yet he didn't seem to be bothered by it, most likely wearing the proper underwear for these kind of situations.

Angie continued to look around on the island. She took out a granola bar and nibbled on it. She was starving but wanted to conserve her food supply. She then saw them running up to the island. She still had a low amount of food but was at least willing to share some with her. She also remembered she brought hand warmers.

[Arthur]

Arthur dove onto the island as the ice broke apart rolling to his feet, anger seethed inside of him as he gritted and grind his teeth walking towards the bat that caused the ice to break apart "You stupid ignorant child!" he yelled, gaining volume as he converged on her, he had half a mind to kill her, but stayed his hand and clenched it tight as he noticed a helicopter landing
"You stay the hell out of trouble I'm not done with you" he said pointing at her as he made his way towards the pilot of the helicopter
"Who are you and what is your business?" he asked as he approached.

[Symph]

The island, emerged from the icy terrain, seemed larger than the others, by its lonesome self. Previous palm trees were now bent into arcs with snow, and a smaller cliff resembled a mountain under ice. Symph sighed, being relieved that she was alive, but yet again, saved by someone. This would have to stop soon, otherwise, it would be impossible to take on any sort of demon.

Her attention was pulled to Arthur, who yelled at the female bat with enough volume to hurt Symph's ears. She rubbed them, looking to the bat, who seemed shocked. As much as she wanted to scream at Arthur for doing such a thing, she clenched her fists and watched as he addressed the pilot. Hopefully that wasn't the administers of Emerald Slopes...

Symph looked over at Doug, who was quickly catching his breath. She grinned to him and said, "Thanks again," wishing that she never had to have said it.

[Doug]

As guessed, Doug was taking a slight breath to rejuvenate himself. He looked over at her and smiled warmly. "You're welcome." He simply said in response. Doug was rather irritated by Arthur's rude outburst much like Symph was, but he kept it to himself in order to not cause any sort of ruckus or trouble among the team. He took another breath and stood up more straight. "I wonder if there might be anything of interest on this snow capped island..." He said out loud in wonder, seeing if anyone may respond.

[spike]

Angie sighed. She felt like she could never do anything right. The bat walked off somewhere else. She then found a cave, she looked at the others that were coming. She decided to wait for them before exploring anywhere that could get her more lost.

[TheMindsofTheMany]

"I am Specialist Ryan, we were flying over when we saw the ice begin to break and decided to hover low just in case one of you were sucked into the water, thank goodness not, this water will suck the life out of you quick." he rolled his shoulders as he took his hat off and stuffed it into his coat pocket "So what are you three doing running around here on the ice like that? Don't you know its dangerous? This one here, the bat, what kinda outfit is that? She is gonna freeze to death."

He watched her walk off before looking back at the others "It seems like tension is high, you guys want a flight back to the resort?" he asked them as he fingered a Sub-machine gun slung over his shoulder. He was armed for combat, so he wasn't just flying over on a pleasure trip.

[spike]

Angie saw what was going on. "Wait! Please! Get me out of here!" She ran to the others. She did not like such a dangerous place and wanted to leave. She flew over to them, hoping she could get a ride back as well.

[Arthur]

"I'm sure we'd appreciate that Specialist but we're currently searching for the source of this weather. The bat over there, not the one I yelled at, is leading us too it, if your military then your probably affiliated with Doug over there." said Arthur jerking his thumb over his shoulder to the others, he noticed their negative reactions to his yelling but didn't care, he wasn't here to make freinds, he was here to finish the job, go home and be with his wife and kid.

[Doug]

Doug waved when he pointed his thumb toward him and the others. He proceeded to slip his hands back in his baggy pants pockets. He glanced around the island more, still curious as to what this island may hold in store for their little subzero adventure.

[spike]

Ken was walking around, looking for Angie. He managed to find the island they were on. He ran over to it. He then walked up to them and asked. "Hey uh, have you seen a female bat around here?" He waited for an answer.
