SubZero Survival.

Previously on "When Destinies Collide"… The kids ran into trouble on their way up Infinity Mountain. But it was nothing their digimon couldn't handle. After the fight, they found a mansion in the middle of the forest. Once inside, they ate, cleaned up, and decided to relax. That's when an evil digimon named Devimon appeared. He created the illusion to lure the kids there and then dispose of them. Devimon used his powers to split up the island and the DigiDestined. Will they find each other? How can they survive apart? Find out what happens in "When Destinies Collide"…

Still floating on a block of ice, Tai and Mina, along with their digimon were headed straight for a huge glacier island. The small ice block crashed and the four went flying head first into the snow. Mina threw her blonde hair back and shivered. Labramon popped out of the snow drift along with Mina's cloths. Tai found his cloths frozen in ice blocks. Agumon thawed them out and Tai quickly changed. And so did Mina. They noticed that they were drifting further away from File Island. And further away from their friends.

Suddenly a huge snowman like digimon appeared. "That's Frigimon. But don't worry he's a good digimon." Agumon said.

That's is until he began attacking them. Tai and Mina noticed the black gear in Frigimon's back. The snowman digimon began chasing them, with one touch he could turn all of them into frozen statues. Soon they ran out of places to run. The two kids and their digimon slid out of the way of Frigimon's attack. Tai told Agumon to roll into a ball, once he did, Tai kicked Agumon. The dinosaur digimon landed on Frigimon's back and destroyed the black gear.

"Way to go Agumon!" cheered Mina and Labramon.

Frigimon was back to normal and apologized for attacking them. Tai asked if there was any of the other kids on the mini-island.

"Come to think of it," Frigimon said. "I saw another boy with a Gabumon fly over that way." the digimon pointed to another island further away. "And a girl with long black hair. Oh and a Tigermon."

"That's Piper!" Mina exclaimed.

"And Matt." Tai followed.

"Since you helped get that black gear out of my back, I'll help you get across the water." Frigimon said. Tai, Mina, Agumon, Labramon, and Frigimon began to walk across the ice bridge Frigimon created.

The wind was blowing fast and hard. Piper and Matt were walking close together, trying to keep each other warm. Matt was calling out for TK, and getting no answer. His calling out was hard on his throat, and he began coughing.

"Matt, you okay?" Piper asked, worriedly.

Matt didn't answer, but kept walking and calling for TK. He only got a few steps before he fell into the snow.

"Matt!" Piper screamed, she knelt down beside him. "Gosh, your skin is like ice." she sighed. She slung one of Matt's arms over her shoulder and semi-dragged him to a nearby cave. "Here, we should stay here till the storm passes, then we'll continue to look for TK and others." she voted, sitting down.

Gabumon gathered up a pile of leaves and lit them to spark a fire. Matt and Piper sat before its warmth, while Gabumon said he would go look for TK. Tigermon said she'd stay back and watch over Matt and Piper.

"I'll be back in two shakes of a digi-tail." Gabumon said, walking out of the cave.

Piper and Tigermon chuckled. Piper could tell that Matt was so worried about his little brother. She sighed. "Don't worry Matt, I'm sure TK's just fine." she said.

"How can you be so sure Piper?" Matt asked her.

"Because, given the size of our group and the shortage of smaller islands, TK couldn't have landed somewhere alone. Another Sailor girl or maybe one of the guys probably landed with him." she replied.

Matt looked at her, and smiled. "Thanks for trying to cheer me up Piper."

"Anytime." she smiled.

Frigimon, Tai, Mina, and their digimon were still walking across the ice bridge headed towards another island where Matt and Piper had landed. The kids were getting tired of walking. Frigimon, being the kind natured digimon he is, offered to carry them all the way across. Tai and Mina sat on one shoulder, and their digimon rode on the other shoulder. Mina's bag was over her shoulder and Airtimes was snug inside it.

In the blistering cold snow, Gabumon was walking back to the cave, depressed he couldn't find TK. As he got closer to the cave, he found Matt covered in a blanket of snow. Gabumon carried his human friend all the way back to the cave. Once inside he noticed that Piper and Tigermon were asleep by the fire. Tigermon yawned and noticed Gabumon enter the cave. The tiger digimon nudged Piper awake.

"Five more minutes Darien, I'm tired. And it's summer, a time for sleeping in." the girl mumbled.

"Piper wake up." Tigermon nudged Piper once more. This time the her eyes fluttered.

"Huh? What? What's going on?" she asked, half awake. When she noticed Matt she gasped. "Oh no. I was only asleep for five lousy minutes. Is he okay Gabumon?" Piper asked worriedly.

"He should be fine, we just need to warm him up." Gabumon replied softly. "But how?"

Piper gently lifted Matt's head to her lap. She dug out a black jacket from her duffle bag and draped it around him. She sighed. "That should help, I hope." her purple eyes quivered with worry.

"Maybe this can help." Gabumon said, taking off his fur. The digimon draped the blue striped, white fur coat over Matt's frozen body, then quickly ran behind a rock.

"Gabumon?" Piper asked.

The digimon didn't reply.

Piper sighed. She gently slid down so her body was equal with Matt's. She, nervously, wrapped one arm around him, making sure they were really close. "Piper what are you doing?" Tigermon asked, cocking her head to one side.

"Survival 101 Tigermon." Piper replied. "At night, especially during a storm like the one outside, huddle together to keep your body temperature at normal."

The digimon nodded. "Okay, that makes sense." Astrate nodded. Pretty soon the two felines were curled into little balls, asleep by the roaring fire. Piper could feel her eyes closing as well. She gently laid her head on Matt's chest and fell sound asleep. Her long, black hair covering her body like a blanket.

The sun was coming up just as Frigimon stepped foot on the island. "Wake up you guys we're here." he said.

"Hooray!" they screamed. Tai jumped off of Frigimon's shoulder. He held out his hand for Mina, who shyly took it. Tai then helped Mina jump from Frigimon's shoulder. Once she landed, Tai's arms had wrapped around her, to help keep her balance.

"Thanks Tai." Mina said, blushing.

"Sure thing Mina." Tai replied, blushing too.

The group headed for the forest, in search of Matt, Piper, Gabumon and Tigermon. They called and called and called some more.

In the cave, Matt was still shivering a little. Gabumon quickly took his fur back before Matt or Piper awoke. Matt was the first to wake up, and the first thing he noticed was Piper laying right next to him, one arm around his stomach. He also noticed that a black jacket was draped over him, that also belonged to Piper.

Matt slowly sat up. He gently tapped Piper's shoulder, "Piper wake up."

Piper stirred. He eyes fluttered open. Once she noticed her arm around Matt, she quickly sat up and turned so her back was to him. "Glad to see you're up. Feeling better?" she asked, her cheeks red from blushing.

Matt smiled and draped Piper's jack over her shoulders. "Much better, thanks."

Piper grabbed the sleeves of her jacket. "Glad to hear that." she breathed in and out and the blush faded away.

She turned back to Matt, who was already standing up and offering his hand to her. Piper smiled and took his hand. Matt helped Piper stand up. The two stared at each other silently for a few seconds until they heard their names being called.

"It's Tai and Agumon." Gabumon informed, recognizing the voices.

"And Mina and Labramon." Tigermon followed.

The four ran out of the cave and were greeted by their friends. Mina and Piper ran to hug each other. Tai and Matt high fived, and the digimon smiled. Tai and Mina informed how they met Frigimon and how he helped them cross the ocean to land on the island. Gabumon sneezed over and over again. Frigimon said he knew how to get rid of Gabumon's cold and went off into the forest. Agumon voted for Gabumon to lay down and rest, Gabumon agreed. Piper and Mina, along with their cats and digimon followed.

And out of nowhere Matt and Tai began fighting again. Mina and Piper sighed. Suddenly Matt turned and ran off, aggravating Tai. Tai ran to catch up with Matt and ended up tackling him to the ground. Matt turned over and slugged Tai right in the face. Tai lunged for Matt. Agumon and Gabumon were trying to get through to them but nothing seemed to work.

Piper and Mina sighed. "What do you think we ought to do Piper?" Mina asked.

"I'm thinking Sailor intervention." Piper replied.

"Same here." Mina said.

The two girls held out their transformation wands and shouted "Venus Star Power! Harmony Star Power!" in just a few seconds they became Sailor Venus and Sailor Harmony. But even that didn't make the guys stop fighting. The two boys tumbled down the hill and when Tai was about to slug Matt back, he hesitated.

"It's TK." Matt admitted. "He's out there on some strange island and he's all alone."

"That's it." Tai sighed.

"Matt! Tai! Get away from that cliff!" screamed the girls.

The rock gave out and Tai and Matt went over the edge. Mina jumped and grabbed Tai's hand. Piper grabbed Mina's hand with on of hers and she used her free hand to hang onto the ledge of the cliff. Suddenly a hairy digimon appeared. It had a black gear in its chest.

"Oh no, it's Mojyamon!" screamed the digimon.

"A Mojiya-what?" Piper screamed back. She nearly lost her grip on the ledge but quickly gripped it before she and the others fell.

"Mojyamon is a peaceful mountain digimon that doesn't like fighting!" Agumon said.

"You'd better tell him that. He doesn't look very peaceful right now!" Gabumon contradicted.

The yeti-looking digimon came straight for the digimon and the kids, about to use his 'ice cloud' attack. This broke the land a few feet away from the cliff and soon the kids and digimon were screaming and falling. The kids and digimon bounced off of Frigimon's head and landed safely on the ground.

"it's raining kids and digimon again, I need to star carrying an umbrella." Frigimon noted to himself.

"Thanks Frigimon." thanked the digimon.

"Great timing." Matt and Piper followed.

"Without you, we'd be flat as pancakes." Tai and Mina said.

Frigimon handed the food he found to the kids and digimon, and some herbs for Gabumon's cold. Suddenly Mojyamon slid down the cliff, ready to fight. Frigimon threw a few punches but was no match. Mojyamon threw his 'boomerang bone' and nearly hit the kids.

"Nice trick Mojyamon now watch ours." Tai said, his digivice glowing. Agumon then digivolved into Greymon.

"Don't leave me outta this." Mina/Venus said, her digivice glowing as well. Labramon then digivolved into Dobermon.

"There is no way you guys are getting in on the fun." Matt informed.

"Yeah." Piper/Harmony agreed. Their digivices glowed and their digimon digivolved as well.

Mojyamon was about to throw his boomerang bone again, but Garurumon grabbed it and crushed it. "That's it Garurumon." Matt yelled.

"Go Greymon!" Tai cheered. Greymon fired his 'Nova Blast' attack but Mojyamon dodged it. The yeti digimon then kicked Greymon, casing the dinosaur digimon to fall.

Frigimon came up from behind and held Mojyamon. "Quickly, aim for the gear." yelled the snowman like digimon.

"This one is ours." growled Bengalmon. The tiger and Doberman digimon aimed their attack and destroyed the black gear.

"Yeah! Alright!" cheered the Sailor Scouts.

Mojyamon shrunk back down to his normal size. Garurumon and Bengalmon saw a whole bunch of black gears in the mountain side and combined their attacks to render them useless. The four champion digimon changed back to their rookie forms. And explained to Mojyamon what really happened to him

Then the gears fixed themselves and the island was moving back towards Infinity Mountain. And Devimon.

Matt and Tai called a truce, for now. The girls smiled and walked to stand beside the boys. Their cats were set perfectly on their shoulders, and their digimon beside them.
