Doug felt himself get tagged again, this time from above. Who the...? he asked himself, his jaw tightening in determination. He turned his eyes to the skies, squinting in the glare of the bright wintery day, to notice an ominous vision. Like a scene from the movie "300", the sky was suddenly filled with arcing projectiles... in this case, snowballs. Doug's eyes grew as round as the missiles in the barrage flying through the air straight towards him. "INCOMING...!!!" Doug screamed at the top of his lungs, grateful that his voice didn't crack. Not even taking the time to dust himself off, he leapt up and begin sprinting-- grabbing at Kitty in the process, heading towards the monstrous snowfort. "Come on, Pryde..." Doug hissed, "It's time for us to take the Frost King Commando Headquarters down..." |

Letting out a sudden squeak when Doug grabbed her hand and started running, Kitty tried to keep up but running in snow was not the easiest thing in the world. She should have known! Of course Bobby would be the first one to break the ‘no powers’ rule. Considering it was a snowball fight it was an absolute given, though she was sure it wouldn’t matter what it was.
The floodgates were open now, though, and the gloves were coming off. Figuratively, of course. Making snowballs in bare hands was not a good idea.
“Take a deep breath, we’re going for the sneak attack,” she replied to Doug before the both disappeared into the snow covered ground. A few moments later they reappeared behind Bobby’s snow fort, and Bobby himself, raising from the ground like two spirits from the grave.

Jacob tapped Kitty on the shoulder.
"Cheater," he whispered. He stood behind her, arms crossed, his jacket wet, and his eyebrow raised. It had taken him painstaking effort to get up there, and all Kitty did was pop into the fort and float on up. It wasn't that she had done the job better than him - if he had wanted to, he could have gotten up there as easily - it was that she had stolen his idea. He had half a mind to just pick her up and chunk her off.
"Really. I thought you were better than that."

Doug nearly shit his pants right on the spot.
Had it not been for training against Logan with the rest of the New Mutants, Jacob's getting the drop on ninja-trained Kitty and him when they swam out of the top of the Fortress of Snow-itude would have inspired a loud startled scream.
Had he not had to suddenly hold his breath when Kitty charged through the fort, he was going mention to her that they should probably grab a dozen snowballs before they got to the top, because he was certain that Bobby had nothing but ice atop his crystalline tower.
Thus, Kitty and Doug now stood unarmed in the heart of enemy territory, with an opponent who had unlimited firepower.
Bobby had changed the rules. Now, to survive, Doug had to change the game.
And Jacob gave him the perfect excuse to do it and act as Doug's human shield should it fail...
Twisting around from Kitty's side, Doug jumped behind Jacob and began to push him at Bobby with all his might.
"KING OF THE MOUNTAIN!!!"

Bobby just continued to fire round after freaking round of snowballs high into the air, sweeping his arm back and forth to cover every square inch of territory. He peeked over the side and saw people ducking and running for cover and it just made him start laughing again so hard that he thought he was going to pee.
He didn't hear Kitty or Doug rising up behind him, but something caught in the corner of his eye and he turned just in time to see them standing there and giving him a menacing look.
Before he had an opportunity to react, Doug caught him off guard with a war cry and a mighty shove. Bobby went toppling over the side and landed with a thud on his backside in a mound of snow. The shock sent one last snowball flying out of his hand. It arced up and came right back down on his face.

In his continual glaring at Kitty, Jacob had kind of forgot that Doug was there. So, when all of a sudden something started pushing him forward, all he could do was try to turn his head around to see who was doing it. That and grunt a question that any man would understand as, "Wait, what?" Either that or, "Dude, did you see the rack on that chick?" It kind of depended on context.
All he saw as he turned his head was Doug's blonde hair, and then he was barreling into Bobby and careening over the side. So, he did what any man faced with a twenty-foot plummet into impending cold did: he screamed. Then he landed on top of Bobby in the mound of snow.
As he sat back up and rolled off of the Ice-man, his teeth chattering and a little bit of scraggly wet, white facial hair still left on his face, he turned to look at Bobby. "T-truce?"

Guido stepped outside rubbing his hands. He flung his scarf over his shoulder and pulled on what were probably the largest pair of Scooby-Doo mittens on the face of the planet. He inhaled deeply and sighed. Ah. Brisk, cold air, bright sun...
PAF.
Snowball in the face.
With what he hoped was crushing dignity, he turned slowly to face his assailant, wiping the snow from his goggles. He saw several of the team pelting each other with various wussy snowballs, and a giant ice fortress oversaw the carnage. The horror. The horror.
The ice sculpture was all he needed to see for a scapegoat. Scooping together a snowball the size of an oil drum, he hurled it at the parapet.
"Yer dead, Popsicle!"

Doug whooped in a loud victory cry, "I'M THE FUCKIN' JUGGERNAUT, BITCH!" and then proceeded to say it in several more languages, just in case the two at the bottom of the tower didn't hear him. Turning with his arms pumping vigorously over his head towards his partner in crime, Doug quickly felt his joy turn to confusion as a large shadow blotted out the mid-day sun accompanied with a loud whistling noise that grew in volume. Tearing his eyes away from Kitty, he looked skyward.
...shit...
He quickly turned back to Kitty, his eyes pleading with fear. "Hold me...?" he begged, arms outstretched...

Bobby lay there on the ground with a snow covered face and that was why he didn't see a plummeting Desperado headed his way until it was far too late. The wind was knocked out of him, and suddenly Bobby experienced pains that only a dude can relate to.
After Merando rolled off, he uttered a teeth-chattering 'T-truce?', and Bobby struggled to form a sentence as icy tears rolled down his cheek. He rolled over onto his side and grunted. "After I sock you in the nuts."
Doug's jibber-jabber victory cries were drowned out by a very angry sounding Guido. "Yer dead, Popsicle!"
And then the sun was blocked out by an eclipse of snow.
Bobby forgot his pain for a second as he watched with wide eyes as the enormous snowball plowed into the side of the ice fortress. "Maaaan," he said in partial horror at the thought of a Dougscicle and Kittypop. Then he smiled wide.
They'd thaw out eventually!
"That was awesome!"
