SNT Vs. Sonichu 2: The CWCining

Chapter 18: Crystalline City Zone

All of us where back on the road after Magi-Chan trapped SNT into the Moonscape but we had to keep moving. The Chaos Emerald was still waiting for us to collect it but we were still many miles away from it.

SNT was sleeping in the backseat of the car, Courtney was sitting in front and of course I was driving once again. We were not really that far from Chicago, Iowa was really a pit-stop for me, I knew the Midwest pretty well.

Soon enough, at Davenport, I cross the Mississippi into Illinois and I knew we were almost there. All we had to do was cross the state. But knowing this trip, All of us caught on to the fact that there had to be some gimmick tied to the Chaos Emerald's location. What crazy thing stood in our way this time?

Once we were about halfway across the state, I started to notice something... off.

"That's weird." I said out loud. I was looking at the dashboard on the car.

Courtney looked over at me. "Is there something wrong."

"Well, I really don't know." I responded. "I was just happening to notice the temperature outside of the car. It's been plummeting."

"What?" Courtney then looked to see what I was talking about. "Wow... 35 degrees? "

"Yeah, In Davenport the Temperature was in the 60s but its has dropped hard." I mentioned.

"Hmm..." Courtney thought to herself.

A few minutes pass. Courtney and I are looking ahead on the road. The car then starts climbing a hill and over the hill, something was then revealed. There was a line of precipitation ahead.You could see there where a little flurries outside that were forming all around us. A wall of snow was ahead and you could see that visibility of the road ahead was disappearing the deeper you looked into the weather. It was also getting foggier. The temperature went down to 30 degrees. Courtney and I looked to see the line of snow showers. I slow down the car and pull over to the side.

"Why, I am not dressed for this!" Courtney mentioned. "Look, I grew up in the south where it never snows. I never seen snow where I live."

"Honestly, we didn't pack any clothes." I mentioned. "Not even me."

"Guys why did we stop?" SNT started to wake up. I got out of the car and walked over to the line of snow. You could see on one side that there was brown grass clearly visible and on the other side was a layer of snow covering the ground. Courtney got out with me along with SNT to look around. All of them crossed their arms to respond to the cold weather and started to shiver.

There was a really cool breeze which blew our body heat away from us making it harder to stay warm. I went to the back of the car and got blankets and I gave them to my two colleges. "This should help."

SNT didn't really need the blanket as her fur kept her warm already, but knew since the wind was blowing, she shouldn't be moving.

I then sat on the car to think. "... We can't continue like this."

"What do you mean we can't continue?" SNT asked.

"I didn't expect to drive through snow or see it throughout this trip." I explained. "You know what, I should have now as I think about it. We have been through a lot of areas."

"But we can't stop." Courtney said. "The world hangs in the ballance."

"No... Courtney, I don't mean we should give up. I mean, we can't continue to go on... without any protection from the cold." I then go up to the two of them. "SNT can't move independently with a blanket over her."
