Work Text:
A helicopter flies through the ocean on a dark and snowy night.
And inside that helicopter were the trio who had previously stopped a clan from launching themselves into space.
And their names were, Henry Stickmin, Charles Calvin and Ellie Rose.
And right now their on their next mission to a random place near the ocean.
“So Charles, what does the general want us to do now? Since it’s been 2 weeks since our last mission.” Ellie asked.
“Well I’m glad you asked. Remember this wizard?” Charles also asked as he pulls out a drawing of a wizard.
“Oh yeah, he was accidentally Let out with the other convicts from The Wall. I also remembered that his nam was Gastro the Toilet Wizard.” Ellie replied.
Although mentioning that place did give Henry a cold look on his face.
Considering it was in a snowy place,
And even the snowflakes on skies reminds both him and Ellie about their time at The Wall as convicts. {hence the name of one of the FTC endings: Convict Allies}
“Well we were able to catch him, but his twin brother was able to escape us. And is now going on a rampage at a random oil rig in the ocean we’re at now.” The pilot said.
“So does he have the same powers as the one from The Wall?” Ellie asked.
“Actually his name is Glacier and his powers are made out of ice. So we’ll have to find a way to capture him without getting hit by any of his ice powers.” Charles replied.
“Well thank god, you and the general were able to call us for this next mission. Right Henry?” Ellie said.
With Henry giving her a nod on the head {which means yes.}
But not before Charles sees that the helicopter is arriving at the oil rig.
“Get ready guys, this will be one of our most dangerous rescue mission yet.” He said to his 2 friends.
“Alright, let’s do this.” Ellie said as she and Henry give each other a fist bump.
And then after the helicopter lands on the oil rig’s helipad.
That is when the trio leaves the helicopter,
As they are now ready to save this place from the ice wizard.
————————————————————————————————————————————————
After they got outside of the helicopter,
They check the area to see if there’s any workers there that needs rescuing.
Or any signs of the ice wizard.
When suddenly, they see a crowd of oil rig workers running for their lives.
As they even nearly trample down the trio.
But thankfully none of them got hurt.
However the trio then hears an evil laugh coming from the crane.
And when they look up high, they are shcoked to realise that the Ice Wizard’s up there.
As he uses his ice powers to not only freeze parts of the oil rig,
But also freeze some of the works in ice too.
So they decide to put a stop to this and put him in jail once and for all.
“Hey you! Down here!” Ellie shouted at the ice Wizard.
Causing him to look down and see the trio.
“Oh great, more of those fucking government agents. Well I’m not gonna let you guys lock me up like you all did to my brother Gastro.” Glacier said annoyedly.
“Look, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. If you come down now and unfreeze all of the workers, we’ll still put you in jail but without the violence.” Charles tried to explain.
“Forget it pilot. I’m not coming down here until the entire oil rig looks exactly like an ice palace.” The ice wizard said to them.
Causing the trio to have a confused look on their face.
“Oh yeah? Well we’re not going down with a fight. Boys draw your weapons.” Ellie said to her friends as she pulls out a grappling hook.
With Charles pulling out a rifle from his back,
And Henry pulling out a Star Rod from his back too.
“Oh I see how it is. Well then bring it on. As it’s wizard time motherfuckers! Fireball!” Glacier said in a evil tone of voice.
Then he summons an ice ball and throws it at the trio.
Causing them to get hit by it and sent flying to a random office building of the oil rig.
Where they all smack into a window of it {while there’s a meeting going on, which looks embarrassing now that I think about it}
And not before they land back to the ground.
————————————————————————————————————————————————
After they recover from that attack, the trio need to figure out the next plan of taking down the guy.
“Jeez that was rough.” Ellie said while trying to recover from the attack herself.
“Yeah, also I think he said fireball wrong. Because he shot us with a ice ball not a fire ball.” Charles said.
“Hey, we still hav our weapons, so our best option right now is to attack!” Ellie said heroically.
And so they charge to the crane with their weapons.
While the ice wizard protects himself by creating ice golems form his powers.
And freezing more oil rig workers in ice so that the trio will have to save them, thus having them be distracted.
But thankfully they were able to find their way through those things with Ellie’s second weapon.
That being a fucking flamethrower.
But seeing that the battle is giving them no way of getting to the top of the crane.
Henry sees a spring {which looks like the same one from Sonic the Hedgehog}
And decides to use it as a boost.
So he brings it right net to the crane, steps on it and bounces to the top of it.
Where he was able to land on it with a superhero pose.
With the ice wizard noticing it due to the noise. {uh oh.}
“Well, well well. The one with the star rod is here to face me. Well I’ll give you a chance but be careful because I’m ruthless.” Glacier said.
So Henry tries to attack him with a spell {that being the death spell from Harry Potter}
And he was nearly able to summon the spell.
Until the wizard uses his ice pwoers to known the star rod out of Henry’s hands.
Then he uses his ice powers to freeze not only the ex-thief’s hands but also his feets.
And then after that, he surprises everyone by pulling Henry towards him.
“I saw that the girl had the pwoers to use the force. Turns out, she’s not the only one who can do that. And now that limbs are frozen, it’s time that you go for a swim.” Glacier said evilly.
And despite both Ellie and Charles’s protest at him to not do it.
It was too late,
As they watch the ice wizard throw their friend off the oil rig and into the ocean.
But not before he tries to attack them too upon seeing that their still there.
Hopefully things go well for our loveable ex-thief right?
Right?
————————————————————————————————————————————————
The first thing he felt while sinking in the water was how cold it was.
Like he knows that this season is Winter.
But holy shit was a fucking colder then a winter’s tits
But thankfully he was able to held his breathe before he was underwater in the cold depths of the ocean.
But who cares about how cold the water was?
As right now he needs to find a way to break the ice that are on his hands and feets
And swim back to the surface before he drowns.
But he needs to come up with a plan quick because boy is the ocean really deep.
And after landing on the ground, Henry sees the surface and realises how deep he was in underwater.
But nevermind that as he tries to get the ices of him.
But it was impossible.
That is until suddenly he sees a giant rock in the distance,
And realises that if he somehow gets to it then he’ll be able to break the ice and {if he’s lucky enough to still have some of his air left} swim back to the surface before he drowns.
So he tries to swim to it.
But that requires both the legs and arms to do so.
So the only options for him was to either hop towards the rock and move the ice there like his legs were chained to a metal ball {just like that one scene from Aladdin}
But then just when he was about to reach it,
He started to feel that his lungs were on fire
And the icy cold from the water was starting to make him shiver a lot.
Until eventually the cold shock was enough to cause him to lose all of his airs from his lungs.
Causing him to start inhaling waters.
And even though he tries to get rid of them by coughing,
That just causes more water to be inhaled.
Until eventually despite making it to the rock, he starts to black out.
While falling onto the ground due to lack of movements.
Hoping that one or two of his friends will save him.
————————————————————————————————————————————————
meanwhile-
Both Charles and Ellie were trying their best to battle the ice Wizard.
But were still worried about Henry being underwater in the ocean.
Not to mention the fact that he might’ve drowned or not.
Before eventually the battle was too much for the both of them to handle on their own.
“Ellie, what do we do? Now that Henry’s out of commission, I don’t know how we’ll ever take care of the guy.” Charles asked in a scared tone of voice.
But then Ellie sees a dummy {that ironically looks exactly like Henry} and gets an idea.
“Quick Charles, follow my lead. I’ve got an idea.” Ellie siad heroically.
With the pilot agreeing to help her.
And so with that their plan was set in motion.
As while thinking that they have been taken out.
The ice wizard starts evilly laughing.
But not before he sees a dummy and thinks that it’s Henry.
“What the? I thought I dropped you into the ocean. How did you escaped?” Glacier asked annoyedly.
But not before he blasts the dummy with his ice magic.
And once he do, he realises that something’s off and goes towards it.
Meaning that yes, he does get off the top of the crane.
Only to discover {by tapping it} that it’s actually a dummy.
“What the? That’s just a dummy. Which means {gasps} those two motherfuckers tricked me!” He said angrily.
And then he looks back at the crane and sees Charles on it while using a grappling hook.
“Hey Mr Freeze! Come and get me!” The pilot said.
“Oh while I gladly will!” The ice wizard said angrily.
Then he uses his ice powers to blast the crane with it.
With Charles barely escaping the hit thanks to Ellie using her force to pull him out.
Then once the attack freezes the crane, it starts to collapse.
Causing the ice wizard to realise that he just fucked up big time.
“Oh shit.” Glacier said nervously.
And then the pieces of the frozen crane falls on-top of him, which knocks him out.
And then when the dusts settles,
All of the oil rig workers cheers for the ons who had taken out the ice wizard and saved the oil rig.
But some of confused to where the government agents are.
As while that’s happening, both Charles and Ellie were still worried about Henry.
As he hasn’t surfaced from the ocean yet,
And even wonders what’s taking so long.
So with no choice, Charles grabs onto the railings and climbs on it.
“Wait Charles what are you doing?” Ellie asked with a confused tone of voice.
“Sorry Ellie. But as a member of the government agents, it’s my duties to save people. Meaning that yes, I’m going to find Henry, check if he’s still alive or not and bring him back to the surface.” The pilot said.
And then after that, he let’s go of the railings and falls into the ocean.
With Ellie witnessing it, and becoming more worried for her 2 friends.
Let’s just hope that the retrieval goes well.
————————————————————————————————————————————————
Despite the water being very dark and cold,
That didn’t stop Charles from quickly swimming to the bottom.
Which was the last thing he wishes to find Henry at.
And despite the ocean being really deep,
Thanks to a bit of training, he was able to find what he was looking for in a minute.
But was soon horrified when he saw the stuff he didn’t want to see.
That being his friend had drowned and is now {hopefully} unconscious.
But thankfully after a bit of calming down.
Charles grabs his friends and proceeds to swim back to the surface.
But due to how heavy the ices on Henry’s hands and feet’s are making
And the fact that the ocean was really deep.
It would take a few minutes for the helicopter pilot to surface.
Not helping the fact that a minute later, Charles starts to feel his lungs being on fire.
Like it was getting really hard to breathe.
So he tries to peddle to the meddle and swims faster.
But then just when he was about to reach the surface.
Suddenly he accidentally inhales a small amount of water,
Causing the helicopter pilot to lose all of the remaining air he had left in the lungs,
Replacing them with only water.
But thankfully, before he also blacks out.
Ellie arrived just in time to help Charles.
And was able to bring her 2 friends to the surface in no time.
————————————————————————————————————————————————
After they surface,
Ellie felt relieved to hear Charles coughing up the water he had accidentally inhaled.
But was also concerned about Henry, who wasn’t waking up.
So she waited until the helicopter pilot was breathing normally again and he realises what just happened.
“Ellie, you saved us. Thank you.” Charles said happily.
“You’re welcome. Now come on, let’s head back to the oil rig so that we can check up on our friend.” Ellie said.
And so after making their way back up to the oil rig,
They lay Henry on the ground,
Where Ellie was able to get the ices of his hands and feet’s by using a small sword.
But when they try to wake him up, they realise that he wasn’t breathing.
Which scared them,
And when Charles checked Henry’s pulse by both putting his fingers on his friend’s neck and trying to hear his heartbeat.
He and Ellie {who realised what’s going on} were both horrified to discover that their friend who’d always helped them along the way,
Has no pulse.
Combined with his heart not beating at all.
What are they going to do now?
————————————————————————————————————————————————
But then just when all hope seems lost,
Charles thinks of something that just might work.
So he starts to do CPR on his friend by pushing his chest 30 times.
Causing Ellie to be confused about what’s going on.
“Why are you compressing Henry’s chest?” She asked.
“Just like how I’m trained to rescue someone. I’m also trained to do CPR on a person if they stopped breathing. It’s basic medical stuff.” The helicopter pilot replied.
But even after he stops at the 30 mark, Henry was still dead.
So next up was the mouth to mouth procedure.
Which was embarresing to the helicopter pilot, considering it look like he’s kissing his own friend.
But it’s the only way to resuscitate a drowned person, so he does just that 4 times.
But despite that, Henry still didn’t dead.
Causing Charles to repeat the process over and over.
Then at the 5th round, the helicopter pilot accidentally breaks his friend’s rip,
Much to Ellie’s worries.
“It’s fine, it’s fine Ellie. His ribs will be just fine when he get him back to the base for some medical help.” Charles said to he friend while trying to calm her down.
And then by the 8th round of CPR, suddenly they hear noise.
It sounded like a weak gurgle,
And this causes them to realise where’s it coming from.
“Henry? Are you alive?” Ellie asked.
And then much to their relief, the ex-thief wakes up and starts to cough up water.
Which would’ve been fine,
If he wasn’t choking on the water he was coughing.
Which would've bring them back to where they started.
“Oh shoot, your’e choking!” Charles said in a scared tone of voice.
So he grabs his friend and puts him in a position that thankfully stopped him from choking.
And was back to coughing up water much to their reliefs again.
And so they went until Henry finished coughing up water and was starting to breathe again.
But then something else happened to him.
As due to being in the water for so long, he was starting to shiver,
With his body feeling really cold.
Which causes Charles to realise what’s happening.
“He’s freezing. That means that he might have hypothermia.” He said to his friend.
Causing Ellie to gasp in worries.
“Well what do we do?” She asked.
After she asked that, Charles stands up while holding onto a freezing Henry.
“Come on, let’s fly back to the base camp. I have some spare blankets in my helicopters, in case we have either a mission in a cold place or a mission in the waters.” The helicopter pilot replied.
And so the trio head back to the helicopter,
While they all hear the oil rig workers still cheering them on for saving the place and stopping the ice wizard.
Which causes Ellie to wonder.
“Hey Charles. What about Glacier? Are we just going to leave him there?” She asked.
“Yeah, but don’t worry I’ve signalled the other government agents to pick him up and take him to jail for the destructions he had.” He replied.
And so after that, they go inside the helicopter,
Where both Charles and Ellie wraps Henry in some blankets.
And the helicopter pilot drives the helicopter to it’s next destination.
That being the base camp for the government agents,
Where the trio will be staying at to recover from today’s missions.
————————————————————————————————————————————————
It wouldn’t until an hour later, that Henry would thankfully wake up after dying from dorwning for a bit.
And when Ellie sees that he was awake, she was really happy about it, that she gives a huge hug.
Which he enjoys since he already knew that his friends would rescue him.
But then when Charles saw that Henry was ok, he couldn’t stop himself from becoming teary eyed.
And it wouldn’t take long before he starts to cry {while piloting the helicopter, which might be dangerous}
With both Henry and Ellie seeing this and becoming concerned for him.
“Charles? Are you ok? Why are you crying?” She asked.
“I’m sorry guys. It’s my fault that this happened.” Charles said while crying.
“You mean the part where we almost lost Henry due to him drowning?” Ellie asked.
“Exactly! Oh I was so selfish into bringing you guys to this mission. Maybe I should’ve let some other government agents deal with that ice wizard. Maybe we should’ve caught him on time when he caught his brother, maybe-“ Charles tried to say.
But not before he hears this.
“It’s ok.”
“Huh? Who-?“ The helicopter pilot asked.
Only to see that it was Henry who said it.
“It’s ok, Charles.” The ex-thief replied.
“Yeah like Henry said. It’s ok. The only reason why you called us to join you on this mission s because well, we did amazing on that last mission. Plus it would've been completed if you didn’t have my help as well. Plus I think you’ve been trained well in both swimming and first aids.” Ellie said to her friend.
Causing Charles to stop crying and smile at his 2 friends.
“Wow, thanks you guys. And also nice job on saving those peoples at the oil rig. We all did so well today.” The helicopter pilot happily said.
“You’re welcome.” Both Ellie and Henry said.
And then after that the trio have a chat together to keep themselves occupied during the flight.
And it wouldn’t take until a few hours later,
When Charles sees both Ellie and Henry sleeping together while having blankets on them.
So, putting the helicopter’s control on Auto-Pilot mode,
He grabs a blanket from the glove box,
And sits next to them as he also drifts off to sleep.
Happy that they were able to complete the mission,
Or you could say it was a mission complete.
