Chapter 16

**Snowbank Amid the Frozen Skies**

## Story

Ion says goodbye to her grandfather as she's about to continue the journey with Rodea. Before she leaves, Sonia comes to apologize because she's the one who told the machine soldiers about the location of the village, as Rylus tricked her into thinking she was talking to a bird. Rodea and Ion tell her it's fine.

Rodea and Ion travel towards the last Chronos Tower, and reach a snowy region. Ion is cold because the Ion Wave doesn't have a heater. They end up on an island where machines are generating a blizzard. Rodea stops the machines, causing the frozen rivers and waterfalls to melt.

## Level Description

The level starts with islands covered in snow and ice, with frozen rock arches. Later, there's an island equipped with 3 missiles launchers that are constantly firing missiles. Later, Rodea reaches a large island with many trees; on an elevation, among ruins, there's a warp point that must be activated with a switch.

The warp point leads to the bottom of a tall and large island, where 5 blizzard machines must be turned off with switches to end the level. The island is made of several levels, and holds many leafless trees of various sizes, as wells as frozen rivers and icicles.

There are 2 blizzard machines on the lower level, 2 on the 2nd level, and 1 on the 3rd level. At the top of the island, the 4th level holds metal installations and a frozen lake.
