I do not own Digimon.

Digimon Union

Last time, the goggle-heads beds crashed a lot earlier than the others, right into the freezing snow. A Frigimon start to attack them, but thanks to Daisuke's unexpected quick thinking, he managed to get the Black Gear off of Frigimon's back with Gumdramon's help. As a thank you, Frigimon helped them to reach an island Yamato, Ken, Koji, Kiriha, and their partners are located. But Koji is freezing to death from the snow storm and Gabumon give his fur to try and keep him warm.

Chapter 9: The Ice Beast Awakens

The sun starts to shine and Frigimon is still walking on the ice path it created towards an island, carrying a sleeping Taiki with the others sleeping on an ice sled Frigimon pulled. As soon as they arrive, Frigimon wakes the others up.

"Hey everyone, wake up. We've arrive on the island."

Everyone starts to wake up and walks into a forest at the middle of the island. While they're trying to find any clues that might find the 4 and their partners that are missing, Takato looks at Taiki with a worried expression on his face.

"Say Taiki?"

"Yeah?"

"…Are you, I mean are you feeling alright?"

"Yeah, why you asked?"

"I'm just worried whether your condition is alright, especially after what happen back during the Quartzmon incident that causes you to, you know."

"Ah, don't worry about it. I've recovered since that day. And besides," Taiki looks at Shoutmon, "Shoutmon had it worse, but still managed to hang in there."

"I guess you're right." Takato said, fully understanding what Taiki meant. Shoutmon overheard the conversation and think to himself, 'For now that is…'

"Hey guys!"

Everyone look up and found Biyomon flying at them. "What is it?" asked Sora.

"I found the beds just up ahead!"

"They must be nearby then," said Yuu.

"Hey Yamato!"

"Ken!"

"Koji! Can you hear me?"

"Kiriha!"

Meanwhile, back at the cave where Yamato, Ken, Koji, Kiriha, and their partners are, Koji is slowly waking up when he suddenly felt something that is quickly being pulled from his body. "Huh?"

He slowly gets up and saw Gabumon running behind a giant rock to put back on the fur. 'Did Gabumon give me his fur just to keep me warm?'

"Looks like Gabumon keep you warm last night when we're asleep huh."

Koji turns around and saw Yamato, Ken, Wormmon, and Kiriha also just woke up and saw what Gabumon did.

Gabumon then pokes its head from behind the rock and looks at the 5. "He he, at least you're feeling better Koji-AH-CHOO!"

"Sounds like you got a cold, Gabumon," said Wormmon, and Ken agree saying, "Well, Gabumon did give the only thing that keeps him warm after all."

Koji stands up and looks at Gabumon with, surprisingly a smile on his face. "Thanks for keeping me warm all night Gabumon, but I couldn't help thinking on how you look like without the fur on."

'Phew, good thing he didn't get a good look at me when I was running behind the rock'

"Hey! Are you guys here?"

"That sounds like Tagiru," said Kiriha, recognizing the voice.

Gabumon heard the voice also and say, "The others must be nearby-AH-CHOO!"

Yamato, Ken, Koji, Kiriha, and their partners runs out from the cave to be greeted by the others.

"We we're so worried something might happen to you guys," said Takeru, hugging his big brother.

"How did you guys managed to get on the island anyway?" asked Yamato.

Henry looks at Frigimon then at Tommy and say, "Well, Frigimon here was controlled by a Black Gear but Taichi, Daisuke, Takato, Takuya, Taiki, and Tagiru managed to get it out. He offered to get us here and Tommy created an ice sled for us to rest on."

"It's the least I can do as a thank you," replied Frigimon.

"AH-CHOO!"

"Hey! Watch where you're sneezing!"

"Sorry Gumdramon, but this is the second time I ever caught a cold. Sniff."

"Hmm, I've got an idea. Be right back," Frigimon said, and then leaves into the forest.

"AH-CHOO!"

"I didn't know Digimons could catch a cold, let alone you since you're the one with the fur on." Takuya said, when he suddenly felt someone pulling his arm. When he looks at who it was, he saw Koji right behind him, looking annoyed.

"Are you making fun of Gabumon or what, Takuya?"

"Hey, I didn't mean it. Can't you just lighten up a bit?"

"AH…AH-CHOO! AH-CHOO! Sniff."

"I think you'd better get inside the cave and rest for a while Gabumon."

"I guess you're right, Armadillomon."

"Koji, I know you want to fight Devimon, but think about it, the 6 of us Warriors don't even have our Beast Spirits with us, and Taichi's group doesn't have all of their crests with them. If we go into battle unprepared, we might not even be able to leave a scratch on him, let alone the rest of the evil Digimons we have to face."

"So? It's better than listening to your stupid plans that keep going wrong every time we followed it!"

"St…Stupid? The only thing stupid here is you!" Takuya tackled Koji to the ground and starts to punch him right at the face. Koji countered by punching onto Takuya's face. It goes on and on until both of them are rolling down the slope.

"Oh no, not another argument," Zoe said, looking worried.

"This isn't the best time for both of you to fight!" said Bokomon.

"Stop it, please!" demanded Tommy, but they still fight all the way until right above a cliff. Takuya is about to give another blow to Koji but,

"I'm sorry."

At first, Takuya thought he imagined it, but then he saw Koji's eyes that are filled with tears.

"I'm sorry, with all of these evil Digimons on the loose; I completely lost myself because I don't want Koichi to end up like what happen last time."

"Koji…So that's it."

Suddenly, the cliff starts to break, and everyone else is too late to save them from falling! Takuya managed to grab onto a branch before grabbing onto Koji's hand, saving both of them from the fall.

"Hang on guys, we'll save you!" said Agumon when Damemon suddenly heard something.

"Someone's coming!"

"What, now?" said Dorulumon, and a Mojyamon suddenly slides down to the cliff, holding an icicle.

"It's Mojyamon!" yelled Akari.

"With a Black Gear!" added Zenjirou, panicking.

"That means Devimon's controlling him!" said Jeri.

Ice Blow

The icicle pierced through the cliff, breaking it and causing everyone to fall!

"AHHHHHHH!"

Everyone then landed up on Frigimon that drops the things the Digimon was carrying upon collision with the Digidestined.

"What are you doing?" asked Frigimon, getting up. "You scared me, falling out of nowhere like that."

"You save our life!"

"Good thing you're right there or we're as flat as pancakes," said JP.

"Heh, how many time did I tell you to not land on my head when you fall like that," said Frigimon. "Here, I've brought some food for all of you."

"Alright!" said Daisuke, jumping up and grabbing the berries Frigimon is holding. "Let's eat!"

"You took the words right out of my mouth!" said Veemon, before starting to eat.

"Here's the medicine for your cold." Frigimon give Gabumon the herb and Joe say, "It's just what you need to get better faster."

"Well," said Gabumon, "you're the doctor here, so ok." Gabumon starts to eat the herb and then, "AH! BITTER!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing at the look on Gabumon's face when he takes the medicine, when Mojyamon suddenly appears.

"I'll take care of him!" Frigimon runs up to Mojyamon at full force.

Subzero Ice Punch

The attack misses, and Mojyamon launch a counter attack.

Boomerang Bone

Frigimon got hit hard, crashing to the ground.

"Let's help him out!" said Kazu as he takes out his D-Power and the rest take out their digivice when they saw Tommy already as Kumamon, running up to Mojyamon.

"When did Tommy spirit evolve?" asked Kenta, when Rika suddenly say, "It doesn't matter, let's just get into the fight!"

Crystal Freeze

Mojyamon dodge the attack and then,

"Tommy!" yelled Zoe, " Watch where you're aiming next time!"

"Huh? Why?" Kumamon looks at everyone and saw that his 'Crystal Freeze' attack ended up freezing everyone's legs, along with the digivices! "Oops, sorry guys. My bad."

Ice Blow

"Kumamon, look out!" Frigimon pushed Kumamon away from the icicle, ending up getting pierced right at the back!

"FRIGIMON!"

Frigimon crashed to the ground, blood dripping out of where the icicle pierced through, and data starts to appear around him. Kumamon being the only one not frozen, bend down near Frigimon.

"Why? Why did you take the blow that was meant for me?" asked Kumamon, tears start to appear in his eyes.

Frigimon looks at Kumamon, rubbing 1 of his hands on Kumamon's cheek, smiling and say, "I j-just can't let a Legendary Warrior be…beaten up…that…easily…" Frigimon turns into data, forming a Digiegg before disappearing right in Kumamon's paws.

"N-no…FRIGIMON!"

Out of nowhere, a bright icy blue light appears and starts to surround Kumamon.

"What's that light?" asked Miyako when suddenly Kumamon stands up with an angry look on his face.

"Mojyamon, you big bully! You're gonna regret doing that!" the light starts to get brighter and brighter that everyone had to close their eyes shut.

Execute, Slide Evolution

Korikakumon

The Xros Heart united being the only ones to have never seen any of the Beast Spirits before was shocked by what Kumamon just turn into.

"A-amazing!" said Tagiru and Gumdramon at the same time

"I didn't expect a little polar bear like Kumamon to turn into a giant beast!" said Nene.

"Well, just because Tommy and Kumamon are small, doesn't mean his Beast Spirit is also," said Koichi and the other Warriors nodded their heads agreeing.

"Sometimes big surprises come in small packages."

Frozen Arrowheads

Korikakumon managed to grab hold of Mojyamon and landed a direct hit, causing Mojyamon to crashed at the cliff behind him.

Korikakumon looks at Mojyamon before getting ready to attack again. "And now,"

Avalanche Axes

The 2 axes slashed right at where the Black Gear is located, destroying the gear in the process. As soon as the gear is destroyed, Mojyamon starts to shrink down into his actual smaller size. The ice that was surrounding everyone starts to melt and Korikakumon devolved back into an exhausted Tommy. Iori and Yuu help Tommy back up on his feet, slowly bringing him towards the others that are surrounding Mojyamon.

"Ugh, what happen to me?" Mojyamon slowly gets up, looking at the Digidestined that are surrounding him.

After telling what happen to Mojyamon, he looks really sorry for what he did earlier and was glad Tommy frees him from Devimon's control.

"I guess as a thank you and an apology, I'll lead all of you to outside of the snowy area of File Island."

Everyone follows Mojyamon out of the snowy woods, when Koushiro realized something.

"Hey JP, didn't all 6 of your spirits say that they sent their Beast Spirits to an island before sending a Trailmon to get us?"

"Yeah…Wait a sec, since Tommy found his Beast Spirit here, then that means,"

"The island the 10 Beast Spirits ended up at is File Island yes." Everyone is shocked when Mojyamon continued on what JP said. Mojyamon looks at everyone and say, "I heard a lot of Digimons keep saying about 10 strange lights landed at different parts of File Island, well, except 6 of them stay together."

"But why only 6 Beast Spirits stay together?" asked Zoe.

"I don't know," replied Mojyamon, "but I only heard it from some Digimons that saw the light. I only know of 2 lights. 1 that your friend found, and I'm taking all of you to near the location of the other light I saw."

"Wow, that way we can find the Beast Spirits in no time!"

Everyone agree with what Takuya say, but Tommy just couldn't help feeling really sad at what happen to Frigimon.

'Why did he save me? I could just block the icicle with my blaster or get away on my snow board, but why did Frigimon have to sacrifice himself for me?'

Without anyone realizing, Tommy's D-Tector gives out a faint icy blue light, and an image of Kumamon can be seen on the screen, looking at Tommy.

'Don't worry Tommy, you'll understand why when the time is right.'

(^_^)(-_-)

And that concludes the end of this chapter of Digimon Union! I'm sorry it took a while, but this is the earliest I can finish this.

Anyway, here's the preview on what's happening on the next chapter.

"Who's this?" "It's Andromon!" "Why is he attacking us?" "Look out!"

Next time on Digimon Union, The Android Attacks!
