//------------------------------// // Chapter 6 // Story: Sonic and Equestria Girls in Freezer Burned // by SonicAKG //------------------------------// "THIS. IS. THE. WORST. POSSIBLE. THING!!!!" Rarity cried out loud in a very dramatic manner along with a dramatic pose as she then began to weep as she buried her face in her arms. Fluttershy began to shiver heavily from the cold as she had Pinkie Pie's arms wrapped around for warmth but even with the two of them, it wasn't doing much to help. "ˆI-I w-w-wish I h-had m-m-my j-j-jacket!" She managed to say as her teeth began to chatter as she gripped her shoulders tightly. Suddenly, Pinkie and Fluttershy saw Shadow's hand, holding his jacket, stuck out towards the two of them. "Here." He offered the two girls. "Oh, but Shadow, you'll get cold too." Fluttershy brought up. "Take it. You two need it more than I do. I'm the Ultimate Lifeform. I'll manage." Shadow insisted as Pinkie took the jacket and placed it around her and Fluttershy. She then flashed him a large grin. "I knew you were a big softie!" Pinkie exclaimed, making Shadow turn away from her quickly. "Don't be absurd. I was just annoyed by the noise your chattering teeth was making." He answered, making Pinkie giggle. "Wow, Shadow, you're blue." Sonic told him, causing Shadow to give him a slightly annoyed look. "You are." "No, you're literally turning blue right now." It was true. Shadow looked at his arms and realized that they were beginning to turn a blueish shade as he then gripped himself quickly to warm up. "What the?" He said in a confused tone. "Of course! Shadow was cryogenically frozen for 50 years, so his body must be really sensitive to the cold." Tails deduced, making Shadow sigh. "This is embarrassing. Me, the Ultimate Lifeform, possibly done in by a simple freezer of all things!" Shadow bitterly said. "Well, I've heard a quote that every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness and dies by ch-" Tails began before Shadow cut him off. "Shut up, Tails." He said harshly before he was grabbed into a hug by Pinkie Pie along with Fluttershy. Shadow was too cold to fight back and just let it happen. Meanwhile, Sonata was jumping up and down as she tried to reach the ceiling of the freezer with her tongue stuck out. She did this a few times before Aria and Adagio took notice. They both sighed. "I know I'm probably going to regret asking this but Sonata, what are you doing?" Adagio asked her in a tired tone, making Sonata land in front of the two of them. "I'm thirsty, so I'm trying to jump and lick one of those icicles on the ceiling." She explained, making Adagio just simply turn away from her due to her cluelessness while Aria lowered her eyelids. "What happens if your tongue gets stuck the top and you end up like the meat in this freezer?" Aria asked. Sonata paused a bit to think about it as Aria facepalmed. She then turned to face Trixie. "Trixie, was it? Can you get me another drink? I'm kinda thirsty." She cluelessly asked. Hearing that made Trixie's eyes widen as she then grit her teeth in rage. "Get you another drink?! Trixie'll get you another drink!!!!" She angrily said as she then began to march over to Sonata, who yelped as she backed away from her. Trixie was held back by her fellow people in the freezer. Sunset looked around to see people in the freezer. They either had glum looks on their faces, were sobbing or getting angry with each other. She then formed a determined look on her face and immediately walked over to the door. Twilight noticed what she was doing. "Sunset? What are you up to?"She asked. "Getting things under control." She replied as she was now in front of the door and could see everyone. She then cupped her hands in front of her mouth. "EVERYONE, LISTEN UP!!!!" She yelled as loud as she could. Unfortunately, her yell fell on deaf ears and everyone else just resumed with their own business. Knuckles noticed this and he looked down at the spikes on his gloves. He then began to drag them on the ground, making a loud screeching noise as he walked up to the door with Sunset. Everyone winced as they now saw the two of them at the entrance. "Thanks, Knuckles." Sunset said. "No problem. Now, you had something to say?" Knuckles said. Sunset turned around to the crowd and cleared her throat. "All right. I understand that we've been in here for a very long time. It's getting cold and we're all frustrated and worried about what could happen. The thing is, we can't just start to panic. We need to be able to put our heads together and think of a way out. Listen if we..." As Sunset started to continue her speech to the crowd, the door suddenly opened, revealing a very confused Bon Bon as she entered and saw everyone trapped inside. The crowd saw her enter from behind Sunset and all gasped, causing Sunset to turn and see the door slam behind Bon Bon, who still wore a confused expression. Sunset looked at her dejectedly as the crowd all groaned again. "Uh....What's going on? I thought this was the bathroom?" Bon Bon asked, which just made Sunset walk away from the door and she sat down next to Twilight and she cradled herself back and forth in shame. "It's not. It's the freezer which everyone thought was the bathroom and now you're stuck inside with us." Sonata explained, making Bon Bon face gain a look of panic. "What?!" She nearly screamed as the entire crowd went back to being chaotic again as they murmured amongst each other. "Everyone please, I know the situation doesn't look good, but Sunset had a point. We need to focus." Celestia called out. "Focus on what?! There's no way out of here!" Rarity called out as she lifted her head from her arms. Suddenly, she noticed that she has trouble opening her eyes. They had been frozen shut due to her tears and all the mascara running down her face. She then clutched her face. "My eyes! I can't see! Someone, help!" Rarity said in a distraught tone as she flailed around. Silver then came and tried to keep her under control as she continued to freak out. Manic then felt Sweetie Belle's arm wrapped around him, huddling at him for warmth. He looked down at her and raised an eyebrow as she smiled. ".Wouldn't you be warmer if you were back to huddling with the rest of the crusaders?" Manic brought up. "No, I'm fine here." She answered. In actuality, she was even colder than before but at least she was with Manic. More people started to huddle with each other for warmth such as AppleJack and her siblings, Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo alongside Sonic and Tails and Filthy Rich with his daughter and her friend. As he was with her, his eyes light up and he stood up. "I know! There's a knob to control the temperature in this room!" He suddenly yelled, making him on the receiving end of many bewildered looks. "What?! Why didn't you say anything earlier?!" Sonic yelled in an annoyed manner. "It slipped my mind until now. If we find that switch, we can keep warm until help arrives." Filthy suggested as he then grew a greedy smile on his face. "However, I'll charge everyone 15 dollars for use of it." This was met with loud groans and protest from everyone in the crowd. "Dad!!" Diamond Tiara yelled. "What?! It's business." Filthy said before his collar was grabbed by a very angry Knuckles. He gulped as he saw the infuriated look on his face. Knuckles wasn't having any of his greedy antics. "Where...is...it!?" Knuckles asked in a menacing tone as Filthy's face grew even more nervous. "I-I don't know exactly! It should be somewhere in the back!" He quickly answered "I see it!" Flim said as he pointed to a red knob that was slightly hidden by some cardboard boxes in the back. The rest of the crowd turned to see the knob...and Sonata reaching towards it. "I'm close. I can turn up the heat! I'll save the day!" Sonata declared as her hand touched the knob. "No, Sonata, don't!!!" Manic yelled with his arm out as the rest of the room objected as Sonata turned the knob with so much force that it reached the other end of the temperature and snapped off the control box. The entire room was silent as they all saw Sonata with the broken dial in her hand as she looked at it and then at the crowd, which was in total disbelief. "..............Oops." Sonata said softly as her entire face burned with embarrassment. Back in the restaurant, Spike yawned heavily as his eyes began to flicker before he fully opened. He stretched out his paws as he stood up. "Wow, what a great nap!" He exclaimed. Spike then looked around and he noticed the table. No one was there, not even Twilight. He then became confused as he started to look around and he saw that it wasn't just the table. The entire restaurant was empty and completely silent. "Hey....where is everybody?" He wondered out loud. Suddenly, the restaurant door swung open and Spike turned around to see Flash Sentry enter in. "Man, how could've I have left my jack-" He began before he stopped in his tracks. He saw that there was no one in sight in the restaurant except for Spike standing in a seat. "Uh....what's going on?" Flash asked. The temperature of the freezer was now the total reverse of what it was before. It was now burning hot, maybe 100 of degrees Fahrenheit. Everyone was now hot and sweaty as the ice in the freezer melted and formed large puddles. The room was filled with loud moans coming from the crowd as they leaned against the walls or lied down on the ground. Some people such as Sonic, Sunset, Manic, and Rainbow Dash removed their jackets and vest but it didn't do much. Sonic squeezed his jacket and he found a puddle of sweat dripping from it, much to his disgust. "Sonata, you really are the worst!" Aria spat at her fellow siren, "It was an accident.....again." Sonata said in an attempt to defend herself. "Trixie doesn't know what's worse...the heat or the cold." Trixie said as she tried to fan herself. "Am I on fire!?! I think I'm on fire!!" Lyra cried out as she started to panic as Bon Bon tried to calm her down. Manic took his vest and tried to fan her with it, but she shot him a dirty look. "I don't want your help!" She snapped, making Manic sigh. "Come on, Lyra. Just let it go!" Manic pleaded. "No, way!" Lyra insisted. Sonata then turned around and she was face to face with Lyra. "Uh, why do you hate him so much?" Sonata asked. "Why?! Why?!" Lyra nearly yelled. "It's because on our first date last year, this jerk took me to the amusement park! Then, while we were waiting in line for our tickets, I asked him to hold on to my money and his so he could go get us food while were in line. You know what he does?! He spends both of our money on some stupid drum kit and he doesn't even come back for me! I was waiting for 4 hrs in line. And when I decided to go home, I had to walk in the rain for almost 2hrs just to get home! I was soaking wet and a mess by the time I got back!" Everyone in the room turned around to give Manic dirty looks after hearing Lyra's story. "Hey, hold up. I called you and asked if I could use it. I thought you said yes. I couldn't hear you properly. over the all the noise in the store. I've said sorry like a hundred times. " Manic tried to explain but Lyra just turned away. "Wow, that's a really mean thing to do." Sonata commented, which made Manic turn around quickly with a furious look. "I don't want to hear that coming from an evil siren who tried to take over the world and is the reason we're in here in the first place!" Manic screamed. As soon as he saw the look of hurt on Sonata's face, he immediately regretted what he said and facepalmed. "Look, Sonata, I'm sorry, that wasn't fair." Manic tried to apologize as Sonata just rubbed her arm and just headed to the back of the room. "Wait, Sonata!" Manic said but Adagio came in front of him. "I think you've done enough." She harshly told him. Manic groaned as he fell back on the floor and covered his face with his hands. Because it wasn't hot anymore, Rarity was able to open her eyes again. As she was trying to remain cool, she then smelt something awful coming from the room as she pinched her nose. "Just what is that horrid smell?!" She cried out loud. Silver noticed the smell and covered his nose with his hands as well. "What died in here?" The strong odor began to fill the room and soon enough, the entire room began to gag due to it. Two people actually passed due to how bad the smell was. "Where's it coming from?!" Twilight demanded as she and Sunset turned around.They then saw the source was coming from all the meat that was in the freezer. "It's...it's the meat!" Sunset said as heads turned to see that she was right. When Filthy Rich saw it, his face broke out into one of horror. "Oh, no! All the meat for our service is ruined! It's going to cost me a fortune to fix!!" He cried as he began to sob as he buried his face into his arms as Diamond Tiara tried to comfort her father. Sonata felt even worse due to the situation now. She tried to think of a way to help. Suddenly, she snapped her fingers out loud. "Everyone, I have an idea to keep cool! All we have to do is blow on each other. You know, like how we blow on food to make it less hot!" Sonata happily suggested as everyone just stared dumbfounded at her clearly terrible idea. "How do you function?!" Shadow yelled at her. "How do I what?" Sonata asked. Her answer just left Shadow speechless as a little blood trickled down his nose at how much of an airhead she was and he just stood there, motionless. Meanwhile, Adagio's hair had lost its poofy look thanks to the heat and sweat and was now long and straight. When she noticed, she didn't look too happy "My hair! It's ruined!" She complained as she ran her hands through it. "Oh yeah, that's the worst thing to happen in here." Sonic sarcastically said, as Adagio gave him a menacing glare, which made Sonic back up a bit. Manic was on the ground and he managed to pull himself against a wall. Next to him, he saw that he was near Lyra again. When she saw him, she started to get up and leave. "Lyra, wait!" Manic called out and she reluctantly turned around to face him. "What?! I told you, sorry doesn't cut what you did!" She reminded him. "I know. I know it won't change what I did, but I still want to let you know how sorry I am, ok?! I'm sorry our first date wasn't great and I'm sorry that I let you down and it was all my fault as I was stupid enough to go after some dumb drum set instead of the amazing girl who actually took the time out of her day to hang out with me! I'm sorry that I wasted your time! Someone like you deserves way better! You deserved to be treated in a way that is as great as you and I'm sorry that I wasn't able to do that to you." Manic blurted out as he then sighed. Lyra looked at Manic and she saw the sincerity on his face. His words had really meant a lot to her actually and she really didn't know what to say as she blushed a little. "Y-you, really mean that?!" She began. "Oh, Manic. I've been too hard on you! You deserve another chance!" Lyra added as she pulled up Manic's face to look into his eyes. Both of them flashed smiles towards each other before Lyra began to lean in for a kiss. "Uh, what are you doing?!" Manic yelled as he jumped back from her. "Don't kiss me, you're all gross and sweaty!" Lyra's face turned into one of utter shock before she grew an angry look on her face. "You jerk!" She shouted as she slapped Manic, leaving a red mark that stung more due to the heat. She then marched away in a huff, leaving Manic to hold his cheek. Manic then sunk as he realized he had blown it again. "Real smooth, Manic." He grumbled as Derpy came next to him and patted him on the back. Fluttershy noticed how down Manic was looking and she came over and sat down next to him. "Um, Manic, are you ok?" She asked as he sighed and turned to her. "Not really. I haven't been doing well today. I've made myself look like a jerk. Twice." He glumly explained. "You're not a jerk, Manic. Sure you did do things that weren't very nice, but the thing that doesn't make you a jerk is that you feel bad about it and try to make it up to the people you hurt. That's pretty nice if you ask me." Fluttershy said in a comforting tone, which made Manic look at her and he flashed her a short smile and she did the same thing. Knuckles was lying on the ground before he saw that Applejack wasn't looking too good herself. He managed to lift his head and he called out to her. "Hey, Applejack. Something bothering you?" He said weakly. "Sort of. When I invited y'all to dinner, I was hoping it would've gone much better than this." She said with a slightly disappointed tone. "Don't feel bad. No one could have seen this coming. Besides, I appreciate that you went out of your way to preparing dinner and invite us." Knuckles praised, which lifted AJ's mood a little as she gave him a small smile. "Thanks, Knux." She said before she gained a concerned look on her face as she saw how badly he was sweating. She then went over and began to fan him with her hat. "Ya look terrible, sugah cube." She said with a slight smile, which made Knuckles chuckle a bit. "I've been through worse." He replied. "But don't stop." Rarity and Silver were both leaned against as they started to pant due to heat. Silver's hair was no longer standing up due to the heat and sweat and covered his face entirely. When Rarity saw this, she became mortified. "Silver, darling. Your hair, it's ruined!" She cried out as she tried to get it to stand up, but it just came over his face again. "What a terrible thing to happen to such a wonderful hairstyle." Rarity moaned as Silver raised an eyebrow. "You think my hair's wonderful?" Silver asked as he removed the bangs from his eyes. "It's usually the receiving end of a lot of jokes." "Of course. It's so unique, and you pull it off so well." Rarity said as Silver rubbed the back of his neck before he laid down on the ground due to heat. "On the bright side, my messed up hair makes for a good cushion on my head." He managed to say as Rarity made a small laugh. Pinkie's hair had also lost its frizziness and was down all over her face as she tried to fan herself. Shadow had his eyes closed as he sat down with his arms folded as he began to sweat immensely. "How do you like the burning in the heater party?" Pinkie asked Shadow, who opened his eyes after hearing her voice. "Even at a time like this, you still think of parties?" Shadow answered. "What can I say?" Pinkie said as she shrugged. "I live to party." "Though I have to admit, it is pretty admirable how you manage to stay upbeat in situations like this," Shadow said, which made Pinkie form a huge smile on her face. "Awwww, come here, you!" She said as she wrapped around Shadow in a tight hug. "You know this is going to make us warmer, right?" Shadow pointed out and she quickly let go as he was right. Shadow turned and next to him was Aria. She looked at Shadow for a while as she felt a flurry of emotions in her. She wasn't used to feeling like this but she felt that she had to tell him something. "Hey, Shadow." She said and the two of the made eye contact, which made Aria blush a bit. 'Since we don't know if we're going to make it out of this place anytime soon. There's....something I have to say..." "What is it?" Shadow asked, which made Aria's face turn redder as she felt the same array of emotions overcome her, though they were getting stronger the longer she waited to tell him. "I-I-" She started to say before she began to feel a little dizzy due to the heat and how nervous she was feeling. "If you have something to tell me, then tell me." Shadow said, which made Aria's emotion skyrocket. Along with the heat, Aria's dizziness increased as she started to see multiple afterimages of Shadow before she ended up passing out on the ground. "Aria?" Shadow questioned as he saw that she was out cold and panting due to the heat. Sonic looked around at the whole situation and wondered himself how good things have gone bad to worse. As he leaned back, he found himself back to back with Rainbow Dash. "So...how're you holding up?" Sonic asked. "This........is the worst situation I've been in. You?" Rainbow replied. "I've been in worse. But it kinda sucks that I could die trapped in some dumb room instead of by one of Eggman's robots or something. That's like 20% less cool." Sonic told her, making Rainbow chuckle. "Nah, cuz it's you, you'll always be 20% cooler." She assured him. "And 20% faster." He added. "I don't know about that." She said in a defensive manner. "Well if we die, guess we'll never find out. But I'll admit, you're pretty fast. It makes me proud knowing someone of your speed." Sonic admitted. "Wow, coming from you, that means a lot." Rainbow said. She then squinted and noticed that Scootaloo wasn't doing too good in this heat and she stood up. "Looks like Scootaloo needs some help over there, excuse me for a sec." Rainbow said as she went over to Scootaloo. As she did, Sonic too rose up and he saw Sunset with a fed up expression. He then walked over and sat down next to her. "I noticed you haven't thought of any more ideas to get us out of here." Sonic said as Sunset looked at him. "What can I do?  At this point, it looks to be pretty much hopeless." Sunset said in a defeated tone. "Maybe. But it was pretty cool of you keep everything under control. If I'm stuck in here, I'm at least glad it's with someone like you." Sonic said, which made Sunset's face brighten up a little. "Really? You think that highly of me? You know, Sonic-" Sunset started to say before she was interrupted by Twilight yelling. "Oh, no! Spike! He must be all alone at our seats!" She cried as both Sonic and Sunset turned to see her. "Wait, maybe Spike could somehow get us out of here." Sonic said as both Twilight and Sunset looked at him strangely as if he was crazy. "He's a dog." Twilight said. Meanwhile, Aria felt a splash all over her face as she coughed a bit and looked to see Sonata standing over her. She glared at her. "Wake up, sleepy!" Sonata told her cheerfully. "Ugh, couldn't you have just shaken me? I'm all wet." Aria began. She then felt a terrible taste in her mouth and sniffed her arm. "Gross. This water tastes bad and smells funny too." Aria said. "Oh, it's not water. People has already drunken up most of the puddles made by the ice, so I found a puddle of sweat instead." Sonata said as Aria formed a very disgusted look. "What?! I'm covered in other people's sweat?! Sonata, you-" Aria screamed before the door was open by a two teenage girls, one with dark raven hair and another with bright yellow hair. The two girls looked confused as the door began to close but Sonata suddenly lunged towards it. "I got!" Sonata said as she stopped the door from closing. The entire crowd cheered out loud. Finally, they could leave this horrid freezer. "Now, let's get out of here, everyone!" Sonic instructed. As people began to head to the door, the door suddenly slammed shut, stopping everyone in their tracks as they all formed looks of disbelief. "What just happened?!" Tails cried out loud. "She locked us in?!" The Flim Flam brothers said in unison. "Why would she do that?!" Luna exclaimed. The crowd started to panic again, but this time, Sonic kicked the metal door with much force, making a loud noise throughout the room. Everyone turned around to see him next to Sunset. "Ok, I admit that I don't know why Sonata just left us in here, but I am certain that when she comes back, she'll open the door and get us all out!" Sunset explained to all the residents. As she finished talking, the door swung open again to reveal Sonata, with a happy face as she sighed in relief. Immediately, the door slammed shut behind her, making everyone's faces sink. "Wow, I feel great! I found where the real bathroom is everybody!" Sonata announced. She looked and saw all the angry faces staring directly at her as her smile vanished. "Uh......what's with those looks?" She asked. Trixie stormed through the crowd and came face to face with Sonata as she grabbed her by her shirt. "DO YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU'VE DONE?!!!! YOU'VE RUINED OUR ONLY CHANCE OF GETTING OUT OF THIS AWFUL PLACE! WHY DIDN'T YOU LEAVE THE STUPID DOOR OPEN!!!!!" Trixie screamed as Sonata shrank back and Trixie violently let her go. "Oh.......ooops." Sonata said in a low voice. "OOOOOPS?!!?!!?!!?!!!" Trixie roared. "It's all her fault, she trapped us in here in the first place!" Diamond Tiara yelled. "She also turned up the dial and made it burning hot!" Flim and Flam added. "Not to mention she ruined all the food!" Filthy Rich brought up. " These sirens will never change!" Octavia added. "She's been nothing but trouble ever since we got here! Trixie says we should get her!" Trixie yelled. An angry mob had formed and was coming for a very frightened Sonata. Sonic then came in front of the angry crowd. "Woah, woah, woah, everyone chill out. What happened to not playing the blame game? I mean sure all the stuff you guys said it's true, but it was all an accident, remember?" Sonic said in an attempt to defend Sonata. "Accident, schmaccident!" The Flim Flam brothers yelled. "Getting Sonata isn't going solve anything!" Twilight pleaded. "No, but it will make us feel better! Now can it, needle mouse!" Filthy Rich said as the mob continued to push forward but Principal Celestia stood defiantly in front of them. "Enough!" Celestia yelled, making the mob stop. "Don't you people have any shame! Where do you go off acting like a bunch of animals against one girl?! Everyone makes mistakes! And as long as Sonata is here, she will be under my protection!" Hearing this caused Sonata to jump for joy slightly. "Thanks, Principal Celestia. I'm sorry for getting us trapped in here, I'm sorry for turning up the heat and I'm really sorry for taking your coupon for that gift basket earlier this evening!" Sonata said quickly. Celestia suddenly froze as she then slowly turned around to Sonata with a cold stare. "Wait.....that was you?!" Celestia said, her tone rising with angry. "Uh......oops." Sonata said with a nervous grin. "GET HER!" Celestia declared as she now joined the angry mob who rushed to Sonata as she yelped and tried her best to escape their wrath. Sonata then ran to the door, which was still slammed shut as she was now at the mercy of the entire crowd who were closing in on her. Sonata started to sink to the floor as her eyes began to fill up with tears and she buried her face in her arms. "(Oh, no! Now everyone hates me! I didn't mean to get us all trapped in here. I just wanted a second chance to make everyone like me and I failed. Maybe this a sign...that I'm not cut out for a second chance...)". Sonata tearfully thought. "Not so fast! No one's hurting Sonata!" Sonata heard Sunset's voice yell. She lifted her head and saw her standing in front of the crowd. "Yeah, otherwise you'll have to deal with me!" Sonic added. "Sunset...Sonic?" Sonata said. "Leave her alone!" Twilight joined in. "Yeah, don't touch her!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "No one messes with ma friend or family!" AppleJack shouted. "You jerks want some? Then come closer!" Knuckles dared. "Back off!" Tails ordered. "Twilight.... Rainbow Dash.....Tails....Knuckles....Applejack?" Sonata continued as she counted the figures. "If any of you come for her, I'll destroy you!" Rarity threatened. "It's no use trying to get her because we're here!" Silver declared as he was facing backward due to not being able to see because of his hair though Pinkie turned him around in the right direction. "Don't pick on my friend, you meanies!" Pinkie stated. "I wouldn't like it if you hurt my friend." Fluttershy said in a soft tone. "Pinkie...Rarity...Silver....Fluttershy?....." Sonata observed. Shadow came in front of the mob as he crossed his arms and said nothing. "We Sirens stick together no matter what!" Adagio said. "Yeah....Sonata's an idiot...but she's our idiot!" Aria yelled, which made everyone else give her a subtle glare. "Shadow...Adagio and Aria?" Sonata uttered. Lastly, Manic stepped in front of the crowd with a very determined look on his face. "What's wrong with you guys?! Look, Sonata messed up big time, I get that, but the thing is, we all do! Everyone has their days where they just feel like a giant screw up! I know that feeling all too well...but that doesn't mean it's fair for all of you to just shun her like this! The thing is, she's trying to make an effort to be nice and we all should give her a chance! No one deserves it more than her!" Manic lectured. Sonata was in complete awe at Manic's incredibly kind words. Her tears dried up as she stood up from the ground. "Manic........." Sonata said as she wiped from lingering tears from her eyes. "Even after all she's done, you still defend her?!" Filthy Rich asked. The entire group nodded firmly and faced the angry mob. "Then they're all going down, let's get them!" Filthy Rich declared as the group got ready to fight off the angry mob. "Ok, guy, stand your ground!" Manic instructed. Before an all-out brawl could happen, the door suddenly swung open. Everyone turned around to see a surprised Flash Sentry holding the door with Spike on his side. "Told you they all went to the bathroom. Though it doesn't look like it." Spike said. "IT'S OPEN!!!" The entire crowd screamed as they quickly rushed out like a mad herd of animals. Flash saw all of them coming in his direction as his eyes widened. "Gaaahhh!" Flash yelled as he was overrun by the entire crowd as the freezer was now empty. When everyone had left, the group and Spike looked down to see Flash lying on the ground as he moaned in pain weakly and was covered in bruises. "Flash!" everyone except for Shadow yelled out as they came out of the freezer to check on him as the door slammed behind them.
