Previous ChapterNext Chapter

There was deep, soft snow where Trixie had landed. "Now it's cold. Good thing I wear a hat and cape. Everypony who played Megaman X1 on the SNES a million times almost always went after Chill Penguin first - and for good reason. He's easy and his stage contains the very important dash upgrade.." She then walked through the snow. The first enemy she came across was a rabbit that shot a laser at her with its ears. After she got hurt, she kicked snow at it to explode it. Then she walked to meet a lumberjack robot that threw stumps at her. She kicked one back at him and exploded him. She climbed a wall and shot down another lumberjack before entering a cave full of bats. One uncharged shot was all it took to eliminate each, then she picked up the health refills they dropped. As three spiked wheels came at her, she exploded one with her cape and shot the two others before jumping off the wall onto a higher platform. She climbed up another wall to reach another Light capsule.

A hologram of Dr. Light appeared within the capsule to speak to Trixie. "Enter this capsule, X...err, Trixie. This Leg upgrade will increase your mobility when climbing walls and allow you to crush certain blocks. Your field of activities have now been expanded. Go destroy the evil, Trixie!"

Then as the hologram faded, Trixie was glad somepony in this game got her name right. She was being called X due to being blue and temporarily becoming the game's protagonist. She then stepped into the capsule to be bathed in another soothing light, followed by her hooves glowing. After she stepped out and climbed another wall, she noticed she could do it faster now. On her way out of her cave, she easily destroyed some small helicopter robots, jumped over a bottomless pit, and trashed ostriches that threw gears at her while also destroying the thrown gears. As soon as she left the cave, she found a ride armor like the one Vile used earlier, hopped into it, and started magically controlling it. Only this one had drill fists and could hover. She smashed an igloo to pick up another health refill before hovering over two pits and punching out two enemies piloting ride armors. But she didn't get to keep hers because it was too big to fit in the hole in another wall. She jumped out, climbed it, went through the hole, climbed up, and came across two more igloos. These igloos deflected her magic shots and cape slashes, and she hurt herself upon kicking one. Then when she used Speed Burner, the igloos exploded and one dropped another Heart Tank which extended her life bar.

The last enemies she encountered before reaching Chill Penguin were snowball throwers. After kicking one of their larger snowballs away, she levitated her own snowballs and threw them to take out the enemies, then reached Chill Penguin's boss door to meet him. Trixie asked him, "The Great And Powerful Trixie needs to defeat Sigma's eight bosses, including you, to escape this game. Why are you working for him?!?"

Chill Penguin told her, "Sigma has paid for the use of my power. Working for him is a million times better than piddling around on the South Pole with nothing to do."

Trixie told him, "Then don't just piddle around. Watch Trixie's real magic!"

The penguin's life bar filled up before he started spitting ice balls at Trixie. She shot back, but the balls deflected her shots. So she jumped over them before setting him on fire with Speed Burner. Then she jumped over him when he slid at her. Next, he froze her with his icy breath while also creating two sculptures. Trixie broke free as soon as the penguin jumped on the ceiling, grabbed a hook, and sent the two sculptures sliding. She just kicked them aside before hitting him with her cape. While avoiding the rest of his attacks, she shot at him more with her magic until he exploded from being set on fire again. Trixie told him, "Chill out."

Then she heard a voice in her head. "You got the Shotgun Ice. It splits in five upon hitting an object. Charge it to create an ice wagon."

Afterwards, Trixie gave both the uncharged and charged variants of Shotgun Ice a try. "Cool weapon." Then she went off to Storm Eagle's airport.
