   The hangar doors opened and a wave of cold air swept throughout the room. Jason headed to the exit.
"Okay, guys." said Jason, turning to his group. "There's a whole lot of white out there to get lost in, so let's stay in a group. Okay?" Everyone nodded in agreement. "Let's go."
The air was chilly. Everyone had a heavy jacket on and, those who could wear them, had earmuffs. Wave pulled out a tracking device.
"Where are we headed?" asked Jason.
"It should just be up here." Wave responded.
They continued walking in the same direction until they came to a cliff. The air started to clear.
"Well, the snow storm's over." said Wave.
Jason pulled his hood off and peered down the cliff face. "You sure it's here?"
"I'm sure of it." said Wave, pushing some buttons on her device.
"Well, there's nothing here." said Jason.
They all heard something behind them and turned around. It was Metal Sonic.
"Where's Mekk?" asked Sonic. "Too scared to fight us himself?"
Metal raised his arm and it morphed into a rocket launcher.
"That's new." Sonic said.
"Everybody split up!" Jason said, loud enough for everyone to hear. "You search for the Emerald! Leave Metal to me."
The group split up. Now it was Jason against Metal Sonic. Metal launched a rocket. Jason dropped to the snow and the rocket flew over him. Metal pushed a button on his arm/rocket launcher.
"Dodge this." said Metal, and fired another rocket.
Jason stood up and jumped to the side. The rocket flew past him but turned around and came back.
"Aw, crap." said Jason. "Heat-seeker."
Jason started running, the missile following close behind. Jason spun around and, using psychokinesis, caught the rocket in mid-air. He walked towards it, spun it around, and grabbed onto it. As soon as he "let go", the rocket flew forward, propelling Jason through the air with it. As he approached Metal Sonic, he released his grip on the missile and fell to the ground, sliding on the ice. The rocket continued flying forward. Metal dodged the missile but Jason used his telekinetic powers to change the rocket's direction and hit Metal's back with a big bang.
The others were scattered all around the cliff, searching for what appeared to be a Chaos Emerald. Blaze ran to Silver.
"Hey, Silver!" she yelled. Silver looked up at her (he was looking over the edge of the cliff). "I think I found an e..."
Just then she slipped on the ice and fell over the edge. Silver dove forward and grabbed her wrist.
"What were you saying?" he asked.
"I was going to say 'I found an Emerald' but..." she looked at the cliff face in front of her. There was a small green glow emitting from inside the cliff.
"But?" asked Silver still holding on to Blaze, trying not to roll off the edge.
"I think I found something." said Blaze. She placed her hand on the spot that was glowing and the ice started to melt.

Jason punched Metal Sonic in the face. Metal stumbled backwards. Jason ran at Metal, slid under him, and kicked his legs. Metal hit the ground with a thud. Jason stood up, walked over to Metal, and slammed his foot down on Metal's head. Metal was soon covered in sparks then blew up. The explosion was massive.

Blaze was finished. She reached in the hole she had just made and pulled out a green Chaos Emerald. Then an explosion knocked the Emerald out of her hands. The explosion knocked everyone of the edge. Wave, Jet, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Blaze, Silver, and Jason all fell over the edge of the cliff but hung on.
"Is everybody here?" Jason yelled.
"I'm here!" yelled Wave. Jason looked over and saw her a few feet away.
"Me, too." said Blaze.
"Just barely." said Silver, still holding on to Blaze. "Blaze found something."
"What?" asked Jason.
"I found something!" yelled Blaze.
"What did you find?" yelled Jason.
"A Chaos Emerald!"
Jason hoisted himself up onto his feet. He then proceeded to helping the others. Silver helped Blaze up. Jason got to Wave last since she was the furthest away.
"Hey, Wave. How's it hangin'?" asked Jason.
"Ha ha. Very funny. Will you help me up?" she asked.
Jason smiled and knelt down. "Here." He reached out his hand. Wave reached to grab it but slipped and fell.
Jason dove down after her. Both were in a free fall now. Jason tucked in his arms to fall faster. The icy bottom was getting closer.
