Marcus turned to the neon green hedgehog and nodded in affirmation. "It would be to your benefit to do so. However, I shall leave such trifling details to your judgment. Whatever the case may be, I advise you to decide upon this quickly."

With that, he reached for the switch to open the Raker's doors. "I wish you the best of luck."

Jason lifted his mobile to his ear again and said, "Well, Captain, it looks like we're about to go in; the plan's as rudimentary as you could imagine, but I don't think we have the time to deliberate on this."

Ash noted the trace of unhappiness in his friend's voice and replied, "She's fine, Jase--I'm sure of it."

"You're right. Listen, do us a favour: see if you can't distract our frigid friends from our entry with a little firepower on the other side of the glacier, eh?"

The fox grinned widely. "I think that can be arranged."

Inside the Mobile Glacier, the Frizonians were in, to put it mildly, a state of consternation.

Thermal scanners had indicated the arrival of several hotbloods outside the Glacier. That alone was cause for suspicion. Then there was the unexpected plasma bombardment from above; that had severely damaged the external shields. As if the day were not bad enough, a giant mech had run slap bang into the Glacier, causing a critical failure of the electric systems on that side of the Glacier. The presence of a tiny hole in the ice large enough to fit several intruders was the least of the Frizonians' concerns.
Jason and Arikyrenne hurried inside the Glacier. Jason kept one paw on the hilt of his longsword as he peered around in the frosty interior. Clusters of icy spikes hung on the walls menacingly. Though there were overhead lights in the Glacier, it remained quite dark inside.
"Ready?" he breathed. Ari nodded and contemplated reactivating her AEGIS device.
"Do you know where we're going?" she asked. Before Jason could respond, a beeping in her pocket alerted the both of them. She fished out the communicator given by Marcus and listened carefully.
"Marcus to all agents," came Marcus's voice on the communicator. "The two-way transmission system should be working fine. The temperature produced by the cold fusion reactor is reaching dangerously low levels. Everything indicates that the Frizonians inside will be armed and dangerous. One group should proceed to the central reactor and plant explosives there. Another team should move to find the SONIC operatives."
Jason looked at Ari and exhaled, his breath curling up in the air. "I'll leave it to you. Strike at the core or find the prisoners? Pick one and I'll follow you."

"Biff, you take the left. I'll take the right," ordered Leon, manouevring his gaudy pink mech around a hill and setting it to stealth mode.
"It's Butch, not Biff. How many times do I have to remind you?" protested the gruff voice of the other mech pilot on Leon's radio.
"Whatever," Leon said dismissively. "I'm sure that birdie will fetch a pretty penny when we demand ransom for him. Those dolts in Sega City hate to see anything done to one of their own."
Butch's mech was a black and red construction, and it also switched into stealth mode. Both mechs were now invisible to the naked eye, but would be easily picked up on any electromagnetic or thermal scanners.

It was with this in mind that Ash frowned when he saw the mechs on the move. He had temporarily ceased firing on the Glacier when Kane's mech flopped onto one side of the edifice, curious as to see what purpose--if anything--the whole snow angel bit served.
"Dizzy?" the fox said.
"Uh-huh?"
"Do a--hang on. Dizzy, do a heat scan in the area of those trees. I swear I saw two mechs there just a moment ago."
"Okei~! Beginning scanning!" Dizzy declared in a sing-song manner. "Two mechanised armours standing by in stealth mode containing pilots and one warm-blooded avian on foot."
Ash drummed his fingers on the arm of his chair. "Bring up a visual of the traveller on foot."
He got a closer shot of Mobius moving along in the snow, apparently unaware of his stalkers. Ash frowned and considered his next course of action...
