The story thus far:
Mario & Sonic were invited to the Olympic Winter Games, and Copter, Punchy, and Rainbow decided to crash the games as well! There, they met 2BIT, who claims to have created GeneX. They soon found a tailless dog under attack by Lospecter, and Copter ended up challenging him to a cross country skiing race. Copter had no experience skiing, but somehow managed to defeat Lospecter. Feeling cheated, Lospecter soon encountered a mysterious dark being, who offered him a chance to finally emerge victorious...
Now, on to the next chapter!


Copter, Punchy, and Rainbow, joined by 2BIT and Dog, continued exploring Frostown. Copter and Punchy were starved from their long journey, and hoped to find a restaurant. "Where's that Olympic cafeteria? They do have food at the Olympics, don't they?" Copter grumbled. "Let's ask him." Punchy said, pointing at someone ahead. Tails was there, talking to Cream, who was holding an odd piece of paper. SPOT, the robo-puppy, was standing beside Tails. Dog scampered over to SPOT to get a good look at him. "Hey... This robot kinda looks like me... With a tail." he remarked. "He's not supposed to..." 2BIT said. Tails glanced down at Dog. "Huh? Who are you?" he wondered. "Just a stray." said Copter impatiently. Tails and Cream looked over at Copter and the others and waved. "Hi, Mr. Copter! I wasn't expecting to see you here!" Cream said happily. "Great to see you, Tails!" Rainbow said. "Who's that hiding behind you?" Tails asked. 2BIT emerged from behind them timidly. "I-it's an honor to meet you... I-I'm 2BIT..." he said shyly. Copter and Punchy looked at him in confusion. "What's with you? It's just Tails." Punchy said. 2BIT attempted to hide his shyness by changing the subject. "Uh, what's that you have, Cream?" he asked. Cream showed the paper to everyone. "It's a map of Frostown!" she said. There was a big X on the map, at the northwest part of town. Dog stood up on his hind legs and examined the map. "Wow! A treasure map!" he said excitedly. Tails nodded. "Yeah. Cream brought this map to me to see if I could figure it out, but I don't really know this town either..." he explained. Suddenly, SPOT started beeping. "Huh? Oh! Sonic's nearby!" Tails realized after looking at SPOT's monitor, "I gotta go catch up with Sonic right now... SPOT, you stay with Cream and help her find the treasure, OK?" With that, Tails ran off, and 2BIT calmed down. "Wow... I actually got to meet him!" he whispered to himself. Rainbow took a look at Cream's map and came to a decision. "All right! Stick with us, Hoppy! We'll find that treasure!" she offered. Cream's eyes lit up. "Really?" she asked. Copter groaned with annoyance. "What about lunch? Aw, it's just like Tails to take off and leave me with all the work!" he complained. 2BIT glared at Copter. "Don't talk bad about Tails in front of me! Now, come on! We're helping Cream!" he said.

As the group started searching Frostown for the treasure, they were quickly interrupted by panicked screams! Several of the people running the local Olympic challenges started running away from a particular area of the town. Several Toads, Shy Guys, and Chao dashed past the group, running in random directions away from that particular area. "What's going on? These little guys aren't making it any easier to follow the map!" Punchy remarked. "We should go see what's wrong." Cream suggested. Dog stopped a Shy Guy as it passed by. "Hey, masked dude. What are all of you running from?" he asked. The Shy Guy was shaking as he spoke. "Th-there's some madman over there! He's probably gonna hurt someone!" he explained before running away. Copter groaned. "It's gotta be Gunner. Only he can cause this much chaos." he said. "That's what you think..." 2BIT grinned. "What're ya smiling about?" Rainbow asked. 2BIT wiped the smile off his face. "Err, nothing. There's nothing to smile about now. Let's hurry!"

Not far away, Katie the coyote was hiding behind her boyfriend, Chet the cheetah. She was holding an odd looking white ball with a strange marking on it. In front of Chet was the cause of the panic, a strange looking man with big, spiked hair, tiny red tinted glasses, and a white lab coat. He held in his hands what appeared to be a wizard's staff, but with a sort of mechanical quality to it. "Enough resisting, puny animal-people! You will give me that Orb, RIGHT NOW!" the man screamed. Chet raised a clawed hand at the man threateningly. "You can't talk to my girl like that! Who do you think you are?" he growled. The stranger laughed and struck a dramatic pose. "BWAHAHAHAHA! BEHOLD! I AM DR. SPIZZY! I am Conquer Corp's most BRILLIANT scientist! Conquer Corp's ONLY scientist! Now, gimme the Orb, or I'll be forced to force you with force!" Just then, Copter and the others arrived on the scene. "Well, well. In trouble again, huh, Katie?" Copter said. "I got this, Copter!" Chet assured him. 2BIT shook his head. "I wouldn't be so sure..." he warned. "Why? Who is that blowhard?" Punchy asked. Dr. Spizzy laughed and struck another dramatic pose. "I AM DR. SPIZZY! And I'm here to take the Orb of Wind for the GLORY of CONQUER CORP!" he screamed. Rainbow giggled at him. "Tee hee! Your name sounds fizzy! Like soda!" she said. Spizzy wasn't amused. "You DARE to mock DR. SPIZZY!? Now I'll just CRUSH you all with my Staff of DOOM!!"

"Oooooooh, the Staff of Doom again. Everyone's shaaaaaking, Spizz-soda!" said someone sarcastically. Everyone turned to face the speaker. "Huh? YOU AGAIN!" shouted Spizzy, pointing at the person dramatically. It was a teenage boy with brown hair. He had blue eyes, and wore blue armor with light green pants. He wore red bands around his wrists, and a white headband. The boy drew a sword from a scabbard on his back. The blade was quickly surrounded by a small tornado. "Leave this dope to me!" the boy said. Another voice came from above him, a booming voice with an air of sophistication. "Jimmy, is a loser. But even a loser can get a villain's attention." the voice said. The boy glanced up at the sky and shook his fist. "Narrator!! You spoiled my big dramatic entrance! For once, I was gonna look cool! Now cut it out! Don't embarrass me in front of Spizzy!" he groaned. "Where'd that other voice come from?" Punchy wondered. "And where can I get a cool sword like that?" Copter added. Dr. Spizzy looked from Jimmy to the others who were no longer paying attention to him. "HEY!! I'm STILL HERE!! Never mind that LOSER! Just give me that Orb!" he yelled. "As usual, Jimmy's arrival struck terror... in the hearts of those counting on him, knowing he would fail." the Narrator said. "That voice doesn't like that boy much, does he?" Cream observed. Dr. Spizzy nodded knowingly. "Yes, that Narrator really... HEY!! He distracted me! HOW DARE YOU!" he screamed. Punchy covered his ears for a second. "This guy won't shut up!" he growled, clenching his fist and approaching the scientist, "I'm gonna have to shut him up!" Chet shook his head. "You won't get the chance! He's mine!" he said, running towards Dr. Spizzy with his claws readied. Spizzy quickly swung his staff at Chet. Upon striking the cheetah, the staff let loose a powerful electric shock that knocked Chet away! "Aaaaa-OOOFFF!! Wh-what the..." Chet muttered from the floor. Katie ran over to him. "Chet! Are you OK?" she asked. Spizzy laughed manically at them. "MUA HA HA HA HA!!! He won't be OK for long! I call upon my Rockman of DOOM!! Smash all these hero WANNABES and get me that ORB!" At Spizzy's command, a creature burst out of the snow beside him! It was a large monster made of blue colored rocks, with powerful rocky limbs and glowing yellow eyes. Punchy and Jimmy stood before the Rockman of DOOM, ready to fight. 2BIT looked very serious. "Be careful, guys! Spizzy's not known for fighting fair!" he warned. Jimmy grinned smugly. "He's not known for winning, either. This should be fun!" he said. "Thus, Jimmy challenged the Rockman of DOOM. And I get to go take a coffee break until he's done." the Narrator narrated.

News Brief! > Jimmy Jim Jimerson lives in a run-down house that once belonged to a great hero. He is usually reluctant to embark on heroic journeys, but has a strong sense of justice.

Punchy started off the battle by running to the Rockman and launching a powerful punch at its chest. The attack caused the Rockman to wobble a bit, but left it undamaged. "Rrrrrrr!! You not so tough, little monkey!" he taunted. Punchy backed away a bit. "Monkey!? Did that thing just call me a monkey!?" he said in disbelief. Jimmy chuckled and swung his sword, pointing it at the Rockman. "Let's see him withstand my Windy Sword!" he shouted. The tornado extended from Jimmy's blade into the Rockman, causing it to wobble some more, but dissipating before causing any damage. "Rrrrrrrr! Why Dr. Spizzy have problem with you? You is weak!" the Rockman bellowed. Dr. Spizzy glared at his minion. "I don't have PROBLEMS with him! He just... MEDDLES!" he said. The Rockman of DOOM shrugged and went on the offensive, attempting to charge at Jimmy and Punchy! "Yiiiiiiikes!!" Jimmy shouted, diving out of the way while Punchy ran the other way. Spizzy started laughing and shooting thunderbolts from his staff at Jimmy. "NYA NYA, NYA NYA, NYA!! Not so TOUGH now, are you LOSER?!" he shouted. Punchy acted fast. "Chaos Avalanche!" he yelled, using the spell to lift some snow and hurl it at Dr. Spizzy, burying him! "BWAAAAAAA!!! HELP!!! IT'S COLD!!!" Spizzy screamed, flailing about in the snow. The Rockman turned around to see Jimmy stand up and point his sword in Spizzy's direction. He grabbed some snow and threw it at Jimmy to buy Spizzy time to escape the snow. "Aaa! That IS cold!" Jimmy yelped before turning to the Rockman again. "No more Mr. Nice Loser! Errr... I'm no loser! Take this!" Jimmy pointed his sword's tornado at the ground in front of the Rockman, which stirred up the snow and blinded the beast! "Rrrrrrrrr!!! Me perception!!" he shouted, flailing his arms wildly at nothing. Punchy took this chance to jump onto the Rockman's back and start punching, which annoyed the beast. "Rrrrr! You make me itchy! I swat you!" he growled, reaching behind his back to try to grab Punchy. While he was distracted, Jimmy ran towards him, pointing his sword's wind below him as he went to launch himself into the air! "Hey, rocky!!" he shouted, drawing the Rockman's gaze. "Take this!!" Jimmy lunged his sword into the Rockman's face, piercing one of his eyes! He and Punchy quickly jumped down as the Rockman began swinging his arms angrily before falling to the ground in a heap! "Rrrrrrrrr!!! I have a boo boo, Ma-ma!!" the Rockman cried. Spizzy groaned at his minion. "Quit calling me MA-MA!" he yelled. Jimmy sheathed his sword and laughed at Dr. Spizzy. "Looks like you lose again! And they keep calling ME a loser!" he said. Spizzy reached behind his back. "You FOOL!! No one can EVER defeat DR. SPIZZY!! I'll PROVE it... LATER!" He then threw a smoke bomb he'd been hiding on his person! Everyone heard him coughing as the smoke obscured their vision, but once it faded, Dr. Spizzy and the Rockman of DOOM were gone! "Good riddance!" Copter said, "That guy was even more annoying than Gunner." It wasn't time to celebrate yet, though, because Katie suddenly screamed! As everyone looked in her direction, she and Chet were tossed to the ground by a huge knight! He wore black and red armor, which covered his entire body, and stood even taller than the Rockman of DOOM. In his hand, he held the Orb of Wind that Spizzy had been after! "That worm is always pathetic, but was the perfect distraction. The Orb is mine!" said the knight with a deep, evil sounding voice. "W-who are you...?" Cream whimpered, hiding behind Copter. "I am... Jack..." Punchy chuckled. "Really? That's surprisingly normal." he said. The knight roared at Punchy. "You didn't let me finish!! I am Jack...l...ran....k....da! Jacklrankda!" he bellowed. "Even he has trouble pronouncing it." Jimmy snickered. Jacklrankda placed the Orb in his pocket. "Laugh all you wish, but know this. This world shall be mine! And this time, you won't get in my way, child! Farewell!" An intense darkness erupted from Jacklrankda, blinding everyone, and when the light returned, he was gone! "And so, Jimmy once again failed to stop Jacklrankda." the Narrator said, having returned. Jimmy glared upwards. "How come you never mention the times I was successful?" he muttered.

With the enemies gone for now, the group exchanged formal introductions and explained what they were up to. Cream showed everyone the treasure map, which Jimmy looked at with interest. "This town isn't very big. I know, I looked all over to catch up to Dr. Spizzy. Mostly 'cuz the Narrator made me do it. I bet I could find this treasure easy now!" he said. The Narrator was not so optimistic. "Jimmy's non-existent sense of direction would never let him find the treasure." he warned. 2BIT glanced upwards. "What do you base that on, exactly? I'm not aware of any problem with his sense of direction." Dog grabbed the map from Jimmy with his teeth. "Never mind that. I figured out where the map leads while you guys were beating up that rock-guy." he said. SPOT growled at Dog. "No he didn't, I did!" said the text on his monitor, which no one bothered to read. Punchy took the map from Dog. "Don't talk with your mouth full. We can all help look. I don't trust anyone's sense of direction after that time Rainbow got us lost in Darkegg Fortress." he said. "Huh? I was following you, One!" Rainbow protested. Katie and Chet looked around the group nervously. "Uh, gee, we'd like to wander around lost with you guys..." Chet began. "...But we'd better tell Razor about Dr. Spizzy and that creepy knight guy!" Katie finished. "Nice save, Kate..." Chet whispered. "That's fine, I still don't like you anyway, Chet." Copter said. "That's not very nice." Cream told him. "Well, anyway, bye!" Katie said, waving to the group as she and Chet went to look for Razor. 2BIT took the map away from Punchy and handed it back to Cream. "I think that's enough idle chatter. Lead the way, Cream." he said. "OK!" Cream smiled, leading 2BIT, SPOT and Rainbow away as the others just stared in disbelief. "I guess he doesn't trust any of us to lead..." Copter groaned. Rainbow waved for the group to follow. "C'mon! Follow me, One, Two, Doggie, Jim! 2BIT and Hoppy will leave you all behind!" she shouted. Jimmy groaned. "She calls me Jim, too..." As everyone followed Cream, the Narrator kept the silence broken with pointless narration.

News Brief! > Jacklrankda is the leader of 9 evil knights. He is also known as Jackalranking, or simply "Jack."

Cream, with assistance from 2BIT and Dog, managed to figure out the map, and led the group pretty close to the X. However, they soon found themselves faced with another obstacle. A wall of ice blocked their way, and Punchy quickly found he couldn't punch through it. "Ow, ow, ow... That ice is harder than rock..." he remarked. "Are you sure the treasure's that way?" Jimmy asked. "'Fraid so. And there isn't even another way over there." Dog said. "Jimmy had led the group straight to a dead end." the Narrator narrated. Jimmy made a face, but didn't say anything. "Now, Narrator, Jimmy wasn't leading. Besides, this ice wall isn't on the map. I think somebody put it there." 2BIT pointed out. The Narrator continued narrating. "Who placed this wall here? No one cared, for now the more important question was how they'd get past it. Surely, they couldn't think of anything as intelligent as flying over it." Cream smiled at the idea. "Yeah, I can fly over it! Good idea, Mr. Narrator!" she said. Dog looked up at the wall, which was tall from his viewpoint on four legs. "We can't all fly. And I sure can't jump it, either." he pointed out. 2BIT snapped his fingers. "This is simple. SPOT can fly you up, Dog. And Copter, he can carry Punchy. Cream can fly herself, and Jimmy can pull off that Windy Sword jump he did earlier." he explained. "No, I can't. That was a spur of the moment thing, I don't know how I did it..." Jimmy admitted. Cream scratched her head. "I guess I might be able to carry him..." she offered. Dog shook his head. "No, you carry me. I'm the lightest, and you're no weight lifter. Jimmy can ride on the robot." he said. Rainbow raised her hand. "What about me? And 2BIT?" she asked. 2BIT snapped his fingers, and a red jetpack appeared on his back. "I'll carry you, Rainbow. That should settle it. Let's go!" Cream picked up Dog while Jimmy waited for SPOT to shift to flight mode. "Boy, if only my neighbor was here..." Jimmy muttered. "If only my best friend was here, too..." Dog added. When everyone was ready, they flew over the ice wall, though Jimmy fell off SPOT once they reached the other side. As he landed face-first in the snow, the Narrator mocked him. "So, once again, Jimmy passed an obstacle by accident." Everyone chuckled as Jimmy picked himself up. "Yeah, sure, let's all laugh at Jimmy. Next time we gotta do something like this, I'm going ice fishing instead." he grumbled.

It wasn't much longer before they found a treasure chest, but it turned out that someone beat them to it! Metal Sonic was there, and a small turtle creature with a spiky shell and a cloth around his neck, Bowser Jr! "Aw, shoot, it's the metal moron." Copter groaned. Metal Sonic made some angry robotic noises in Copter's direction. Bowser Jr looked from Metal Sonic to Copter. "Huh? Do you know these guys? Well, it doesn't matter! They're not getting this treasure from us!" he said. "Awww, look at the cute little turtle!" Rainbow said cheerfully. Punchy looked at her like she was nuts. "You think it's cute?" Jimmy looked at Metal Sonic and chuckled. "Look at that thing... It kinda reminds me of the shopkeepers back home..." he said. Bowser Jr and Metal Sonic both began growling and buzzing angrily. "As comical as they looked, these villains were not to be trifled with. Of course, Jimmy foolishly insulted them." the Narrator said. "Give it a rest, voice." Dog said. Bowser Jr looked up for the Narrator, and when he couldn't see him, he became more annoyed. "Bah, that's enough! We challenge you! It's Nordic Combined time!" he said. "Nordic what? Aw, this isn't more skiing, is it?" Copter groaned. "Oh, yes... You COULD do that..." a voice interrupted. From under the snow came Dr. Spizzy, holding a shovel and gasping for breath! "No ice wall will keep me from MY revenge!" he said. "Did you tunnel under the wall!? You're even dumber than you look, Spizz!" Jimmy said. Bowser Jr and Metal Sonic turned to Dr. Spizzy. He popped out close to the chest, and they didn't like it. "Who do you think you are?" Bowser Jr asked. Spizzy laughed and struck a dramatic pose. "I AM DR. SPIZZY!!" he yelled. "Get on with it!" Dog shouted. Spizzy dropped out of his pose and growled at Dog. "Killjoy. Anyway, why risk LOSING an event to those cheaters? Just take the treasure and knock them aside!" Spizzy suggested. Cream stepped forward and confronted the villains. "Wait a minute! You can't do that! At least be sporting enough to try an event!" she insisted. Bowser Jr and Metal Sonic shook their head. "He's got a point! We're in a hurry, 'cuz we gotta stay ahead of Mario and Sonic! Let's just beat 'em the normal way, Metal!" Bowser Jr said. Dr. Spizzy laughed and spun his staff dramatically. "Count ME in, too! It's time THEY got beaten up for once!"

News Brief! > Dr. Spizzy is known for being a tad overdramatic. However, he is a competent scientist, and designs much of Conquer Corp's technology.

Copter stepped forward to challenge Metal Sonic. "Don't think I'll go easy on you just because you released me from Death Row!" he warned. Punchy moved to take on Bowser Jr. "You talk pretty tough for a little guy..." he said. Bowser Jr laughed at him smugly. "Of course I'm tough! My papa's the great Bowser!" he bragged. Jimmy raised his sword to challenge Dr. Spizzy. "All right, it's you and me! Man to soda!" he said. Spizzy shot him a dirty look. "I... AM... NOT... SODA!!!" he screeched. Without further delay, the battles began. Metal Sonic rolled into a ball and dashed into Copter, knocking him back. Copter responded with a quick tail whip, which sent his balled form rolling! Punchy ran to attack Bowser Jr, but was forced to back off as Bowser Jr blew fireballs at him! "Ha ha! Surprised ya, didn't I?" he teased. As Bowser Jr opened his mouth to blow more fire, Punchy tossed a snowball in. As Bowser Jr began spitting the snow out, Punchy grinned. "Cool off, hothead." he said. Meanwhile, Jimmy was locked in a swordfight with Spizzy, only Spizzy was using his staff, which was made out of a sturdy enough material to not get sliced. "Eh, you're not as good with a sword as the knights!" Jimmy said as he parried Spizzy's attacks. "Well... Neither are you, LOSER!" Spizzy replied. As the battles went on, Cream watched sadly. "All this violence... This isn't what the Olympic Games are supposed to be about..." she cried. 2BIT nodded. "True. Dr. Spizzy ruins everything. He'd be quite fun if not for that." he said. Soon, Copter managed to land a good hit on Metal Sonic, and knocked the robot into the hole Spizzy had dug. Meanwhile, Punchy leapt over Bowser Jr's fire breath and stomped on his head, causing him to withdraw into his shell to recover. "No wonder Mario jumps on everything..." Punchy said, noting the effectiveness.

Spizzy glanced at his failing comrades, and grew furious. "No one BEATS DR. SPIZZY!!" he yelled, kicking Jimmy back a bit before knocking him over with his staff! He then turned to Copter and Punchy and fired thunderbolts at both of them to gain the upper hand. "HA HA HA HA! This is my lucky day! Now, SAY GOOD BYE, JIMERSON!!" As Spizzy was about to strike Jimmy again, he was distracted by a loud yell. "CHEESE!! HELP!!" Cream yelled. Spizzy hesitated to puzzle over the meaning of this. "Huh? Cheese? NO DAIRY PRODUCT CAN DEFEAT ME, DUMMY!" Suddenly, a lone Chao flew onto the scene and smacked into Spizzy's hand, knocking away his staff! The Chao flew over to Cream and gave her a hug. "Thank you, Cheese!" she smiled. "Huh? That's no dairy product..." Spizzy murmured, rubbing his hand. Meanwhile, Bowser Jr and Metal Sonic were looking impatient. "Grr, we're wasting too much time!" Bowser Jr growled. Metal Sonic made a robotic sound in agreement. Bowser Jr laughed at the heroes. "Ha ha! It doesn't matter anyway! We tried to open the chest, and it wouldn't budge! Later, losers!" As Bowser Jr and Metal Sonic retreated, Spizzy ran over to the chest and tried to open it. "EEERRRGH!! He's right! I WASTED THIS TIME ON A CHEST THAT CAN'T BE OPENED!?" he screamed, devastated. Jimmy stood up and laughed at him. "That's just like you, Spizz." he said. Dr. Spizzy reached for his staff. "THAT'S DR. Spizzy! I AM DR. SPIZZY! And you can keep your useless chest! I'm off to find those Orbs! CONQUER CORP FOREVER!!" Once he was ready, Spizzy jumped into his hole to escape. "OWIIIIIEEE!!!!" It was a deep hole. Copter peered into the hole, but Spizzy already escaped by the time he got there. "That was weird..." he muttered. Punchy attempted to open the chest in the meantime, but he was tired from the battle, and couldn't force it open. "Great... What a waste of time..." he groaned. "As always, Jimmy's quest ended in failure." the Narrator said. "I wouldn't say failure... Exactly..." Dog pointed out.

After a rest, Cheese returned to the Chao he'd been visiting with since arriving at the Olympic Games, and the rest of the group tried to decide what to do now. "Maybe I can find a way to open this treasure chest. But I don't know... I guess I'll take it with me while I explore, just in case!" Cream decided. 2BIT looked to SPOT. "Anyway, I think you'll be safe now. I suppose I should return SPOT to the Tornado for Tails." he said. Jimmy and Dog waved farewell to the group. "I've got some friends visiting the games. I'm gonna go find them now." Jimmy said. "Me too. Plus I want to get out of the cold for a while." Dog added. Cream and Rainbow waved to them as they left. "And so, Jimmy somehow managed to survive Dr. Spizzy's attack, and make some friends in the process. Maybe there's hope for him yet." the Narrator said as Jimmy walked away. "Do you ever shut up?" Jimmy groaned. 2BIT turned to Cream next. "I guess I'll take you to Polastraits. It's as good a place as any to start." he decided. "Are there restaurants there?" Copter asked. Rainbow looked at her guide book. "It's mostly ice." she said. "Forget that. We'll go somewhere else next!" Punchy decided. 2BIT pointed to a large hole in the distance. "There's a cannon in that hole. It'll shoot you to Sparkleton. Might be a good place to check out. I'll catch up with you later." he said before escorting Cream and SPOT away. Cream waved as she left. "Bye! Thank you for everything, guys!" she said. Rainbow read the guide book's info on Sparkleton. "Oooh, this place looks like fun! They call it a dream island! Let's go, One and Two!" she said excitedly, dashing for the cannon. "Err, wait Rainbow! I don't wanna go by cannon!" Punchy shouted. "Come back with the guide book! Are there restaurants there!? RAINBOW!!" Copter yelled. One thing was for sure, Rainbow had already decided that Sparkleton was their next stop!

To be continued...
