[Scene 1 – The Blocked Exit]
The episode picks up where the last one left off. The brawlers, after making their way through the snowstorm and reuniting, now find themselves at the exit of the Ice Cave. However, their path to freedom is blocked—millions of snowflakes have formed an insurmountable wall of ice and snow. The door is completely frozen shut, and the cold air rushes in from the cracks.
Shauna (shocked):
“What is this? The exit’s completely blocked! We can’t get out!”
Kouchu (worried):
“We’re trapped again… but there’s no way we’re going to stay here much longer.”
Roaracryst steps forward, trying to use his heat powers to melt the ice around the door, but even his fire-based abilities can’t break through the thick layer of snow and ice.
Roaracryst (gritting his teeth):
“It’s too thick… I can’t get through.”
Sakuro (frustrated):
“We can’t just sit here. We need to think of something before we freeze!”
Kouchu, determined as ever, rallies the group.
Kouchu (thinking out loud):
“We’ve faced worse than this. There has to be another way out. Let’s go back into the Ice Cave and find another exit.”

[Scene 2 – The Dangerous Pursuit]
The brawlers decide to retrace their steps into the heart of the cave, but as they make their way back, they are suddenly attacked by a massive creature—Spikefist, a giant ice monster with spikes covering its body, lurks in the shadows. It roars loudly, and its spikes glint in the dim light of the cave.
Kouchu (shouting):
“Run! We can’t fight this thing here!”
Kouchu, Roaracryst, Mouselette, Ninecoat, Plantmore, and Squishing sprint as fast as they can through the cave, dodging the creature’s strikes. The cave walls shake as Spikefist relentlessly chases them, determined to catch them.
Ninecoat (nervously):
“I’m not fast enough!”
Mouselette (frantically):
“Get to the tunnel, hurry!”
The group finds a narrow passage, but Spikefist is right behind them, pushing through the walls. Roaracryst and Plantmore work together to create barriers of ice and plants to slow the creature down.
Roaracryst (focusing on the barrier):
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
“This should give us some time, but we need to get out of here fast!”

[Scene 3 – Shauna and Sakuro’s Search]
Back at the shelter, Shauna and Sakuro refuse to wait idly by. They know that Kouchu and the others are in danger and decide to venture out into the blizzard to find them. The winds howl, and the snow stings their faces as they navigate through the treacherous storm.
Shauna (worried):
“We can’t waste any more time. They could be in serious trouble!”
Sakuro (determined):
“We’ll find them. We have to.”
They push through the storm, using the faint light from the shelter as their guide. The two work together to avoid the worst of the snowstorm and locate the rest of the group. After what feels like an eternity of battling the elements, they finally spot the narrow passage where Kouchu and the others were last seen.
Shauna (shouting into the wind):
“Kouchu! Kouchu, can you hear us?!”
Just as they begin to lose hope, they hear a faint shout from ahead. Kouchu’s voice.
Kouchu (yelling back):
“Shauna! Sakuro! Over here!”
Relief floods over them as they rush toward their friends. They rejoin the group in the narrow passageway, but the situation is far from over.
?
[Scene 4 – The Escape Plan]
The group has barely escaped Spikefist, but the danger is far from over. They know that the storm outside is only getting worse, and they still have no way out. Kouchu is shivering from the cold, and everyone is growing increasingly weak from the harsh conditions.
Kouchu (exhausted):
“We need to find a way out… We can’t last much longer like this.”
Suddenly, Plantmore—using its ability to manipulate the environment—creates a small, warm pocket of air in the cave, buying them some time.
Shauna (relieved, but still anxious):
“That’s helping, but we can’t just stay here. We need to find shelter or we’ll freeze.”
Kouchu scans the cave, his mind racing for any possible solution. He remembers a faint passage he saw earlier on their way into the cave, one that could lead to the surface.
Kouchu (inspired):
“I saw a way out earlier. It’s a risky climb, but it’s our best shot. Let’s go!”
With no time to lose, the brawlers and their Crystal Monsters push forward, following Kouchu as he leads them toward the narrow, treacherous path.
?
[Scene 5 – The Final Push]
The path Kouchu leads them down is steep, icy, and fraught with danger. As they make their way up, the storm rages harder than ever. Every step feels like a battle against the elements. But the group pushes forward, determined not to give up.
Sakuro (panting):
“This better be the way out… or I’m not sure how much longer I can keep going.”
Kouchu (with determination):
“Just a little further! We’re almost there!”
At last, the group reaches the top of the cave, where the snowstorm has created a massive ice barrier. But with one final burst of energy, they break through, emerging into the bitter cold of the outside world.
?
[Scene 6 – The Shelter]
They stumble into a small shelter on the outskirts of the cave, exhausted and near freezing, but safe at last. The storm still rages outside, but they are no longer trapped in the ice cave. The brawlers collapse into the shelter, their Crystal Monsters curling up for warmth.
Kouchu (relieved):
“We made it… we’re out.”
Shauna (grinning):
“We never give up. Not now, not ever.”
Sakuro (teasing):
“Well, I’m ready for a nap, after all that running and freezing.”
Kouchu (laughing):
“Yeah, me too. We’ve earned it.”
The group shares a moment of relief, knowing that they’ve overcome another obstacle in their journey. The storm outside still rages, but for now, they are safe. Their journey continues, but they know that together, they can face whatever comes next.
