Josh the Hedgehog X: Ancient Adventures/Episode 5: Incoming Ice Age

This is the fifth episode of Josh the Hedgehog X: Ancient Adventures. This episode depicts Dr. EggRey's pursuit for the the Cryogenic Crystal for mysterious plans. Josh & co. went to the Freeze Cave to stop EggRey from causing an ice age. Or WAS IT?! As they enter the cave, they strategize their ambush. After that, they met Jealousy. The battle ignites. Jealousy was in the cave, for he told the heroes that the Freeze Cave was his "home". Apparently, ghosts wander in dank places, duh. Jealousy asked the heroes why they were in the cave. Alice retorted that it is a mystery that he will discover after his defeat. Jack accidentally spoils the mystery, causing Jealousy to develop the desire of getting the Cryogenic Crystal. They intend on stopping him. Will they succeed or will Dr. EggRey accomplish his goal?

Storyline
Josh: (hears a beep in the office) Hrm? (runs to the office)

Rey: Huh? Come on, everyone! To the office!

In the office...

Josh: (captures some transmission in the radar) There's danger in Freeze Cave? (sees Dr. EggRey's symbol in the map) Not good...

Yuki: What's the matter?

Josh: Now EggRey's looking for the Cryogenic Crystal.

Rey: What's the Cryogenic Crystal?

Josh: It's a mystic crystalline beryl that is imbued with ice energy that has the potential of freezing a whole town. The Freeze Cave's the host of the crystal.

Jack: Sheesh, no wonder EggRey wants to freeze this town so badly, I'm starting to get the shivers just thinking about it.

Patricia: Prehaps it's now time to get some help

Metal Patricia: Right, let's contact Jackbot Nega & Combot Nega.

SPARKY: (in her holographic form) Very well, we need all the help we can get.

Jack: I just hope EggPlankton is not too far away just to help EggRey. Cause the last time he tried to take the treasure, he & EggRey nearly succeed

Josh: Hope so.

Alice: We must stop EggRey, together!

Jackbot Nega & Combot Nega appeared from a portal.

Jackbot Nega: Jackbot Nega & Combot Nega, at your service

Combot Nega: We're here to help.

Chroma: The more the merrier.

Ultravia: Let's do this!

Thomas: Onward!

Jack: We must stop the ice age! Cause I don't wanna do that ice age incident again, especially from Evil King Frost.

Josh: Two ice ages... One has happened and solved, and another is incoming. (That King Frost sounds familiar...)

Jack: We better be careful or else this ice age would turn us all into popsicle sticks

Rey: Did you do the ice age incident, eh, Jack?

Jack: Yes, everyone has been frozen in ice by Evil King Frost, except Blaze the Hedgecat & my new wisp friend, Yacker & his wisp friends. And Evil King Frost is the reason why there's an ice age on mobius, because he made that ice age with his ice powers.

Josh: Hence that name "Frost".

Ultravia: (Hm... "EVERYONE" has been frozen. In Mobius.)

Patricia: Ok then. Is that what we're calling him in short?

Rey: Jack! You're a villain?!

Josh: (He's like that again... Rey...)

Jack: What? No way! Why'd would you say that?

Josh: Eh, Rey? That bummed King Frost started the ice age incident, not Jack.

Rey: Uh, I thought he said, "I don't wanna do that ice age incident again".

Josh: We're not perfect. It's a grammatical error, or according to me, just me, a "gramma". LOL

Rey: XD

Jonathan: Does that sound like grandma? XD

Josh: Ah oh yeah, kinda! XDDD

Jack: Sometimes a grammer error can give the wrong messages.

SPARKY: Indeed, prepares we can practice our grammer once we stopped this new ice age.

Metal Patricia: Right or else we'll be frozen solid in blocks of ice.

Josh: Yep. Shall we move out?

Chroma: Preparation is vital.

Jack: Right, we need snow clothes.

Josh: Fur coats, I suppose. (gets fur coats from a closet) Here, get one coat each.

Jack & Patricia: (grabs one fur coat each & puts on their fur coats)

Josh: Okay, nice.

Jack: We're ready.

Magna: (in xyr humanoid form) Patricia, is Sage fine?

Patricia: Yes she is, she is safe & sound. I put her in my skunk tail in order to keep warm.

Sage: (flys out from Patricia's skunk tail & lands on Patricia's shoulder) Chirp (nuzzles Patricia's cheek)

Magna: Thank you, Patricia. Uh, can I talk to you about the Phoenixes later? There's a story about our kind. Oh, and Sage has NO gender... Sage is generally a masculine name, so there's NO female with the name Sage.

Patricia: Sure ^^

Josh: Alright, guys, let's move out!

Magna: Yes, your Majesty.

Jonathan: Right!

Nitro: Yessir!

Rey: Awright!

Patricia: Okie dokie

Sage: Chirp!

Jackbot Nega, Combot Nega & SPARKY: Understood.

Jack: Anything to stop this blizzard.

Josh: Ancient Control! (warps everyone including himself to the Freeze Cave)

In the pathway to Freeze Cave...

Josh: Alright, guys, we're here. Is this temperature "-12 degrees Celsius" uncomfortable? I'll give you a fur coat.

Jack: I'm already wearing one & I'm really need another one cause I'm still shivering.

Josh: Oh? Here. (gives Jack a special fur coat) It's a fur coat made from an elder Arctic Lupine's extraordinary fur.

Jonathan: Cool.

Magna: (soothes Sage by wrapping xer gently on xer everburning feathers) There, there...

Chroma: Brrr, grrrreat.

Fiera: I forgot to t-t-tell...

Josh: (passes two fur coats to Chroma and Fiera)

Chroma: T-t-thanks-s-s... (wears fur coat) Whew...

Fiera: T-t-thanks a l-lot..! (wears fur coat)

Jack: (wearing two fur coats, one is the original & the other is the Arctic Lupine's extrordinary Fur Coat)

Josh: Feeling good, Jack?

Jack: Much better, thank you.

Josh: You're welcome.

Jack: (smiles)

Sonaria: (plays her harp an instrumental song named "Song of Warmth")

Fiera: Thanks Sonnie!

Sonaria: You're welcome.

Patricia: (smiles)

Combot Nega: Are we there yet?

Josh: We're nearby.

Alice: (points to the entrance of the Freeze Cave) There.

Chroma: (observes the snowy road) A pathway, I see... Impressive natural infrastructure.

Ultravia: Shall we venture forth?

Jonathan: I'm in!

Jack: Me too

Patricia: I'm in as well

Jackbot Nega: I'm in

SPARKY: And I as well...

Combot Nega: Me too, nobody gets left behind...

Aerether: I AM in! Tally ho to Freeze Cave!

Arthur: Heh.. Seems like it, I'm in with you, guys.

Nitro: Let's shoot that bad boy outta the sky.

Rey: Yeeeaaah, beat down!

Metal Patricia: Count me in as well...

Josh: Alright, guys. I will take charge of the plans on the "scout-and-ambush" tactic. We need fast and alert ones to sneak in.

Aerether: I'm in. I'm aether-type, so I can make myself... invisible.

Arthur: Sneaking tactic combined with eldritch-powered distraction.

Josh: Okay, nice. You two come along. When they finish scouting, they'll make a signal. However, traps may be in the way, so beware. Healers must support the ambush division. Rey, try your best not to be hasty.

Rey: You got it, bro.

Josh: All-around characters, come with me.

Jack: That would be me, Patricia & SPARKY...

Jonathan: You got it!

Chroma: Roger.

Josh: By the way, strength-type guys, wait for Aerether's signal to go all in.

Thomas: You can count on us, bro!

Rey: Let's beat 'em down!

Jackbot Nega: Very well

Combot Nega: Yes Josh the Hedgehog

Metal Patricia: We will wait for the signal & further instructions...

Josh: Alright. Tally-ho!

Aerether: (turns invisible)

Arthur: (disappears from a dark light)

Josh: Strength-type Squad, be on your guard on the entrance. Healer Squad, scatter and go to each squad and take part in healing the injured. Stealth Duo, as I said, they already know what to do. Sneak in (scout) and distract the enemies using their eldritch abilities. And Libra Squad, we have multiple roles in combat. Do your best and be vigilant. Libra Squad, tally-ho! (enters cave with high speed)

Jonathan, Chroma, Jetris, Yuki, Alice, & Magna: (follows Josh)

Jack, Patricia & SPARKY: (follows Josh)

Metal Patricia: And about the Strength type guys? I'm a girl !

Thomas: Strength-type SQUAD, not guys. :/

(Suddenly, Donkey Kong 64 - Mad Jack (Factory Boss) begins to play as Jack hears a strange & loud voice coming from the cave)

????: What are you doing in my cave?

Jack: Wait stop ! Did you hear that?

Josh: Hrm?!

Jonathan: Be on your guard, this might be a crazed creature. (loads buster and charges it)

????: (appears to be Jealousy the Ghosthog) Do I look like a wild animal to you?

Jack: Jealousy?! What are you doing here?

Jealousy: What are you, blind? I live here you idiot.

Patricia: A Ghosthog living in a cave? Who knew.

Alice: Now you have the gall to steal one of the ancient properties of this continent?!

Josh: Calm down. According to rune encyclopedias in the famous library of Crygen, stray spirits live anywhere. They prefer dank, quiet, dark places like caves. [to Jealousy] YOU, Jealousy, are one of them, as described in the reference. A mighty wyvern rests here, and you might make it go berserk. Now scram or face consequences.

Jealousy: (sarcastic) Now I'm really scared (normal voice) But seriously if I've run into you guys, I'd might scare the souls out of you & say "Get outta here your miserable creatures you!"

Patricia: We like to see you try

Josh: Dude, you're acting like a baby. "Get outta here your miserable creatures you!" You're just like that dumbwit Tensai.

Jealousy: That's it ! (summons his ghost minions) Take care of them personally!

Ghost Minions: (charges at the heroes)

Jack & Patricia: (gets ready)

SPARKY: Be careful, be on your guard.

Josh: Move! (fires wind orbs at the ghost minions) 'They're aether-type...

Jack: (uses Chaos Ninjago at the ghost minions)

Ghost Minions: (got hit by the attacks & uses invisibility to prepare an ambush)

Patricia: Where'd they go?

SPARKY: Ghosts can use invisibility for their advantage for an ambush. Let me try & scan them to see if the ghost minions had escaped or just tricking us (scans for the ghost minions)

Josh: ''While invisible, they cannot be attacked by physical skills... ''

Jonathan: (scans for the ghost minions) Specters, you freaks...!

Suddenly, a hoarse roar was heard from the halls of the cave.

Chroma: Hrm?

Jack: What the heck is that?

Josh: See?

Alice: Um, are we all asking?

Jetris: No time for banter, a monster is approaching!

Josh: ''Hrm... Behold, the fruit of your idiocy, Jello!''

''There arrived a icy-blue dragon, causing gusts of chilly wind using its enormous wings. It roared much louder in rage when it saw Jealousy. Due to being born from miasma, it was mindless, so it attacked the villain in wrath.''

Jealousy: You can't fight, what you can't see (uses invisibility to try & dodge the attacks)

Josh: ''Cheater... (eyes glow viridian green) (slashes an invisible Ghost Minion with an ethereal blade)''

Jack: How did you do that? I've never seen you do that. There's gotta be a trick

Invisible Ghost Minions: (ambushes at Jack, Patricia & SPARKY)

Jack & Patricia: (being held by the invisible ghost minions, trying to wiggle their way out, but their grips are too strong)

SPARKY: (being held by the invisible ghost minions as well) Let us go you green monster!

Jealousy: (still invisible) No way, your souls will go great for my collection that looks like they live in a zoo.

Ghost Minions: (goes inside Jack, Patricia & SPARKY, changing them into their green color & their faces)

Jack: (Jealousy's voice) I wish I was more intelligent like you! (points to Josh)

SPARKY: (Jealousy's voice) I wish I have my own body, like you! (points to Josh & their friends)

Patricia: (Jealousy's voice) I'm actually quite happy with my life.

Chroma: Shut the heck up, foolish apparitions! (blasts at Jack, Patricia & SPARKY with a radiant beam)

Magna: (charges at 'Jack, Patricia & SPARKY and casts a phoenix wave at them)

Jack, Patricia & SPARKY: (got hit & falls down)

Jealousy: (invisible) Go ahead, knock them down as many times as you like. They will be dead by now if you keep going. And speaking of which, what are you doing out here in my cave? I demand to know!

Chroma: (raises one eyebrow) Weirdo.

Josh: [to Jealousy] Don't say I didn't warn you, dimwit. I can still see your ectoplasm lurking around, trying to discourage me! Pathetic of you. (senses someone coming) Hm?

''Suddenly, another aethereal being tethers Jealousy inside an orb, revealing his presence. The orb disappears.''

Patricia & SPARKY: (gets up)

Jack: (gets up, still in control by the Ghost Minion) (Jealousy's voice) Your gonna be sorry that you take out our master, buzz boy! (growls as he tries to tackle at Josh)

Josh: You're gonna be very sorry that you're trying to attack me... head on. Foolish spirits, trying to control my friends. (swiftly reaches out hand at Jack's forehead)

Jack: (stops in front of Josh as he felt Josh's touch on his forehead & then falls down on his back with his eyes all swirly, meaning that he's knocked out)

Patricia: Huh? What happened?

SPARKY: I felt like my programing is corrupted, now it is cleansed.

Josh: (goes to Jack and casts a healing aura on him) Alright, commence attack!

Chroma: Leave it to me. (fires a radiant beam at Jealousy)

Jealousy: (got hit by the attack) That's it, because my invisibilty is done. Now I'm gonna be mad at you! (uses Sonic Roar at the heroes)

Jack, Patricia & SPARKY: (covers their ears as they tried to hold on)

Chroma: (forms a gamma barrier) 

Jack: We need some Ear muffs to resist the lound sounds from Jealousy.

Josh: We don't have much time, so someone must cast an ability that can nullify oscillating sound.

Jonathan: Got it! (inserts a SoundMan Chip on his buster & activates it) Battlechip Defense: Muff Barrier! (forms a translucent barrier) 

Jack: Ok, that'll do it. Say, about EggRey? Where is he?

''An aethereal entity tells Jack through telepathy. "Arthur's looking for him," he said.''

Jack: Oh thank you. (suddendly notice something odd) Huh? Who said that?

"Me," the aethereal entity speaks in Jack's mind.

Jack: Who are you?

"Don't you recognize my voice?! Am I too spooky and strange to your ears, mmh? I must go onward first to sneak in the treasure's keep to see what the mad doctor's up to," said the entity before his presence fades from Jack's mind.

Jack: Now where did I heard that voice before?

Patricia: Jack? Is something wrong?

Jack: I heard a voice inside my head.

Josh: You don't know how to communicate in telepathy.

Jack: Then how come I'm the only one I can hear someone talking to me inside my head?

Josh: You can hear the words of the one who is communicating with you in telepathy, but unfortunately cannot respond using the mind. Using the material voice in communicating in telepathy is not easily heard.

SPARKY: It appears that Jack has heard a familliar voice from before, but does not know who.

Chroma: Okay, shall we hurry & defeat this annoying spook?

Josh: Yeah!

Patricia: Very well, let's go stop Jealousy

Jack: Ok, but I wonder how Jackbot Nega, Combot Nega, Metal Patricia & the others are doing?

Jonathan: I guess they're coming.

Josh: Jack, transform to Aquos form. You can attack Jealousy head-on & weaken him.

Jack: Ok, (activates his Attribute Armbrace) Change of Attribute! Aquos! (transforms into his Aquos Form) It is done, but I do have a question. Do ghosts get weakened by water?

Josh: Natural elements do significant damage to them, but with no bonuses or deductions. Use your liquefication ability so that you can't get hit. When you're near him, morph back and full force!

Chroma: I'll distract him. ''Since I have an EM Jacket, I cannot be harmed by any attacks associated with the electromagnetic spectrum... ''

Aquos Jack: Alright then.

Patricia: Very well then. Let's go find Jealousy the Ghosthog & stop him & stop EggRey as well.

Chroma: He's still using Sonic Roar.

Aquos Jack: I'll handle it this time. (turns into water & sneaks behind Jealousy & reforms) Surprize!

Jealousy: (turns around to see Aquos Jack) What the?!

Aquos Jack: (fires pressured water at Jealousy)

Jealousy: (got hit & was blown back by the pressured water) Gah! (spits out the water) I've been ambushed!

Chroma: (fires a radiant beam at Jealousy)

Jealousy: (got hit by the beam) Yeouch! Watch where you swing that beam! (his eyes glows green & shoots green lazer beams out of his eyes at the heroes)

Patricia: Look out! (creates a barrier around herself & her friends) Is everyone ok?

Jack: We're good. But what the heck? Jealousy can shoot lasers from his eyes too?

Chroma: (enters barrier) That attack isn't gamma...

Jonathan: (shoots plasma bullets at Jealousy)

Jealousy: (tries to dodge them, but got hit) Ow! Why are you even try to stop me for? I was minding my own bussiness until you came along. What are you even here for anyway?

Magna: You don't really live in this cave.

Josh: Yeah, this is not your home, bro. You're straying in different places.

Jealousy: Then why would you come in this cave the first place, hm?

Alice: That's the mystery you will discover soon, after you get out of this cave you call "home". This sacred place is not a place to be an abode for evil apparitions like you!

Jealousy: What are you talking about?

Jack: Dr. EggRey is on his way to collect the Cyrogenic Crystal & we're gonna stop him, so leave us right now!

Jealousy: Cyrogenic Crystal? In this cave? (smirks evily) I like that. Now if you excuse me, EggRey will not be the only one to get that crystal. Ciao! (retreats deeper into the cave to find the Cyrogenic Crystal)

Jack: D'oh! I've gave the info to Jealousy!

Jetris: (slams the ground) Titan Wall! (summons a wall, blocking Jealousy's path) 

Chroma: Electromagnetic Membrane! (shoots a radiant beam at the wall, making it multicolored) 

Josh: Move! Move! Move! (charges at Jealousy in supersonic speed)

Jonathan, Chroma, Jetris, Yuki, Alice, & Magna: ('charges at Jealousy, ready to attack)

Jack, Patricia & SPARKY: (charges at Jealousy, ready to attack)

Jealousy: (smirks) See ya! (dissapears again as more ghosts ambushes at the heroes, trying to get inside their bodies, trying to possess them)

''An aethereal being encases Jealousy in a translucent cube before his presence disappears. The cube produces aether magic inside, causing him to be translucently visible.''

Josh: Nice. (fires wind orbs at the ghosts)

Yuki: (fires a solar beam at Jealousy)

Jack: (spindashes at Jealousy)

Patricia: (uses Iron Tail at Jealousy)

SPARKY: (uses electricity at Jealousy)

Jealousy: (got hit by all of the attacks) GAH!

Jack: Wait, aren't we forgetting someone?

Josh: Aerether, Arthur, go on!

An ominous wind passes by, meaning that the two went off to the depths of the cave.

Chroma: Radiant Dazzle. (envelops Jealousy with a harmless radiant aura)

Jack, Wait, what about the others like Metal Patricia, Jackbot Nega & Combot Nega?

Jealousy: What is the meaning of this? I was minding my own business.

Josh: Jonathan said they're coming.

Patricia: (notices Metal Patricia, Jackbot Nega & Combot Nega are coming towards them) And just in time too.

Jealousy: Hey! I'm waiting for my answer here!

Josh: (delivers a roundhouse-kick at Jealousy) 

Jealousy: Ouch! (to Chroma) Why kind of aura did you sent to me?

Chroma: Radiant Aura, duh.

Jackbot Nega: Activating new Ghost proof net! (dials the codenumber for "Ghost Proof Net" on his arm & activates it, firing a Ghost Proof net at Jealousy, trapping Jealousy inside it)

Jealousy: Yikes!

Combot Nega: You got busted, Ghost!

Metal Patricia: Capture complete, Jealousy is captured.

Jealousy: Hey! You can't do this to me! Let me outta here!

Josh: We can do it to you. Teleport to HQ! (forms a centripetal rift that pulls Jealousy along)

Jealousy: (from the rift) This isn't over yet!

Chroma: This is over yet!

The rift sucks Jealousy in to jail.

Jetris: Mission complete. Onto next mission.

Jonathan: Yeah, let's move out!

Josh: C'mon, guys, onward!

Jack: Ok, but have you forgotten that Jealousy can go through walls like a real ghost?

Chroma: Nope. He can't escape so easily. I removed his intangibility & made him more materialized than before using the Radiant Dazzle I used just earlier.

Flashback

Flashback End
 * Jealousy: Ouch! (to Chroma) Why kind of aura did you sent to me?

Magna: Ohh, works wonders.

Jack: Now to stop EggRey.

Josh: Onward! (moves out to the depths of the cave)

Jonathan, Chroma, Jetris, Yuki, Alice, & Magna: (they move 'out to the depths of the cave)

Jack, Patricia, SPARKY, Metal Patricia, Jackbot Nega & Combot Nega: (goes into the depths of the cave)

In the keep of the Cryogenic Crystal...

Equera Bots: (picking on the ice with their pickaxes) 

Equera Bot #1: Ice encasing target: Stone-hard.

Equera Bot #2: Laser: Hazardous. Protocol: Keep picking.

Jack, Patricia, SPARKY, Metal Patricia, Jackbot Nega & Combot Nega: (arrives)

Outside the room where the Cryogenic Crystal is located...

Josh: (facepalms) Now we're found out...

Yuki: (forms a light aura around herself and her 6 companions with her to keep them cloaked)

Equera Bot #3: Hedgehog, Skunk, A.I., & 3 Robots: Detected.

Equera Bots: (they fire plasma bullets at Jack & co.)

Jack, Patricia, Metal Patricia, SPARKY, Jackbot Nega & Combot Nega: (tries to dodge the bullets)

Jack: So much for a surprize attack (spindashes at the Equera Bots)

Patricia: (uses Iron Tail at the Equera Bots)

SPARKY: (casts electricity at the Equera Bots)

Jackbot Nega, Combot Nega & Metal Patricia: (fire bullets at the Equera Bots)

Equera Bots: (few bots explode, while stronger Equera Bots replace them) (they fire plasma bullets at Jack & co.)

Josh: (snaps finger, causing 2 Equera Bots to get sliced and explode)

Jack: (as he & his co. are trying to dodge the plasma bullets again) Nice one!

Patricia: (uses Iron Tail at the Equera Bots again)

Jackbot Nega: (punches at the Equera Bots)

Combot Nega: (kicks at the Equera Bots)

Metal Patricia: (slashes at the Equera Bots with her blades mounted on her forearms)

Equera Bots: ('few bots explode)

Josh: (fires a wind blade at the Equera Bots)

Equera Bot #4: (keenly fires a plasma bullet at Jack) (got stabbed by the back & explodes)

SPARKY: Jack, watch out! (casts electri city at the Equera Bots)

Jack: Huh? (notices a plasma bullet & got hit at the back, by the blast) Ow, my back! (falls down on his belly)

Yuki: (casts a healing light on Jack, healing his damages slowly)

Jack: Thank you Yuki. I thought I was a goner.

Yuki: Shh. (hides back from the corridor)

''The robots retreat strangely. 'There came Dr. EggRey, walking to the heroes.''

Dr. EggRey: Care to get this whatchamacallit crystal away from my big hands? Oh, you went to the wrong place, halfwits...

SPARKY: It's called a Cyrogenic Crystal. And we've been delayed only a bit by Jealousy the Ghosthog. But we've managed to stop him.

Combot Nega: Now then, are you going to surrender easily or are we gonna do this the hard way?

Dr. EggRey: Now, now... (chuckles)  [to Combot Nega] Watch your speech, Combot. You're not strong enough to take on me by duel. [to SPARKY] Thanks for the tip, hm. See what'll happen for few seconds. (hops on to the Equera Pod and it slowly ascends)

Arthur: (facepalm) Thanks to these idiots, we failed the distraction...

SPARKY: Oops, sorry everyone. Please don't hate me.

Dr. EggRey: Hrmph--

''The Equera Pod malfunctions. It falls down on the ground, causing Dr. EggRey to be blown to the sky.''

Dr. EggRey: NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! (appears as a twinkle in the sky)

Jack: Huh? What the heck happened?

Josh: LOL.

Jack: But that doesn't even make sence. How did this happen?

Josh: I... dunno.

Jack: You don't know?! Can someone tell me what's going on here?

SPARKY: Um Jack?

Jack: Yes SPARKY?

SPARKY: There's something I gotta tell you.

Yuki: Okay, SPARKY, please elaborate.

SPARKY: When i was dissapeared, I was the one that activated the self destruct button in his Equera Pod by using my nanos.

Josh: Nanotechnology is superb. Said so.

Jack: Then why did you gave away the infomation SPARKY?

SPARKY: I want Dr. EggRey to be distracted by our infomation long enough for my nanos to activate the self destruct button on the Equera Pod.

Patricia: Wow! It's a good thing that your here with us. Your important as well.

SPARKY: Thank you Patricia. I am glad to be your hand held computer & I'm so glad to be your holographic friend.

Josh: A magnificent tactic! Uh, but... Where's the crystal?

Yuki: It's not here.

Chroma: ?!

Jackbot Nega: Yuki's analysis is correct. It's not here.

Combot Nega: Where did it go?

Jack: Did Jealousy return & stolen it right under our fingers?

Josh: Nope. He's in jail...

Patricia: But wouldn't the other ghosthogs be really mad when they notice Jealous is missing?

Alice: ... Surely you doubt? Ghosthogs tend to isolate themselves. They don't really have some concern. They're spiritual-material beings. Ghosthogs have no stable emotions.

Patricia: Oh sorry.

Alice: There is no need to say "sorry" for that. ^^

Metal Patricia: Where did the crystal get to?

Josh: Since Dr. EggRey got blown away... But the cave's temperature hasn't changed. Strange.

Yuki: I'll go find EggRey for more analysis. (flies away)

Jack: Ok then, good luck Yuki.

Josh: Shall we head back to HQ to check if Yuki has found that EggRey? Actually, I didn't bring my radar here. And maybe you guys are shivering from cold.

Jack: Actually the fur coats had actually helped me & my friends.

Josh: That's really great. Whew...

''Meanwhile... ''

Yuki: (sees some wreckage on a rocky hill) Mmh? (lands on the mountain & sees Dr. EggRey from afar, running away) Got you. (flies to Dr. EggRey)

Dr. EggRey: (spots Yuki) You again?!?! O_o

With Josh & co...

Jack: So Josh, do you know how to play cards?

Josh: We don't play suit cards at all. Cards are prohibited in our law.

Jack: Aw, I was hoping for a game of "Go Fish".

Alice: That's okay, we'll just have a game without using cards.

Jack: Right, point taken.

Jackbot Nega: Rock, Paper, Scissors?

Josh: Try another cool one.

Combot Nega: Yeah, besides I always get Scissors in that game!

Metal Patricia: Checking games in my database.

Rey: (with the Strength-type Squad) Hey guys!

Josh: Heya doods and girls.

Jackbot Nega: Greetings.

Metal Patricia: How is your positions going?

Rey: Actually, there was no signal for this whole hour, so we decided to get outta our post.

Thomas: Yeah, we're bored, too.

Combot Nega: I see...

Ultravia: Hmm... (meditating) (opens eyes) I think her Majesty has been... successful.

Combot Nega: Uh...I'm sorry, but your point being?

???: Just in time, everyone.

Combot Nega: Wait, who said that? (looks around)

Yuki: Hey. I just finished retrieving the Cryogenic Crystal. (holds the Cryogenic Crystal) (puts it on the ice pedestal)

Patricia: Well done sister. (hugs Yuki)

Yuki: (hugs Patricia back) Thanks..

Magna: Patricia, now's the time I tell you about the Phoenixes, or in complex terms: the Homofenixians.

Yuki: Sis, go ahead, talk to Magna. ^^

Patricia: Oh ok Yuki. (goes up to Magna) Ok, I am ready.

Magna: We Phoenixes are legendary creatures. We are immortal. Currently, there are few of my kind living in Pyramus, while most of them are in Pyronia. We can revive dead creatures with souls, but we can only revive them when the soul is still in their bodies. If the soul had left, only dark magic or high ancient magic can do the trick. However, when you use dark magic, the body is animated by the user of the dark magic spell. They have no emotions or anything that is left within their souls or minds. And if you might ask why can we revive beings, hm? Our down feathers do the trick, but we can use spells associated with light revival, like our everburning flames. Also, we are genderless.

''With Dr. EggRey in jail... ''

Dr. EggRey: Grrrmph...! ONE DAY, I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE, JOSH THE HEDGEHOG!!!

With the heroes...

Patricia: Wow, the Phoenixes are amazing. Prehaps there is so much more about the Ancient Dimension that we don't know.

Magna: Sage is my offspring. I don't call xyr a "boy" or a "girl", which you Mobians refer to your kind.

Patricia: I see.

Magna: Neither am I, y'see. Genderless, to be exact.

Patricia: Whoa, I never knew that either. So how is Sage doing today?

Magna: I'm keeping xyr warm with my flames. Xe smelled weird, since you kept xyr in your... tail. Right, you're a skunk.

Patricia: That's right, I can't help it. Skunks are supposed to smell a bit weird, it's only natural. My friend Jack the Hedgehog learns how to cope with my skunk scent & he doesn't mind at all.

Magna: I know. Even the others do so, I observed.

Patricia: (smiles) And about keeping Sage in my tail? I really love to keep Sage comfy & cozy in something soft, snuggly & cuddly.

Magna: And have you known that if you keep xyr in your tail for a long time, your tail might get burned? Be careful, xe is covered in fire. 'Kay?

(JTH: Can I control Sage just in this episode?)

(SB100: Sure)

(JTH: Thx.)

Patricia: I'll try to remember that.

Magna: Sage, come.

Sage: (flies from Patricia's tail and perches on Magna's shoulder) Chirp chirp

Magna: Hm.. Okay, so the cave's getting colder... Shall we go now?

Jetris: Yep, anytime.

Jack: Anything to get out of this cold cave. It's freezing in here!

Josh: Overcomfort is irritating... ''Ancient Control! (teleports everyone to his castle)''

'???: (hiding behind an ice stalagmite) '(as a silhouette) Heh. Thanks to EggRey, he distracted those heroes for me to acquire the power I currently needed. In my calculations, he's in jail. Therefore, an ambush and rescue is needed to regain his trust. Now, when my preparations are complete, I shall be close to grasp the Amulet of the Arcane Annulus!''

Preview of Episode 6
Josh: (sees posters everywhere) What are these?

Yuki: Seems to be... a missing baby.

Rey: We must save the baby from all costs!

Jack: Right, uh...how do we do that?

Rey: Let's investigate, of course. Uh, SPARKY?

SPARKY: Yes Rey?

Rey: Let's tag.

Josh: Good plan, I think. Everyone, let's do this mission.

Patricia: Okie dokie then.
