AVALANCHE!-2
"Matt." was all Mr.Ishida said as he skidded to a halt. He saw his son flounder, the sink into the cascading powder. Thinking quickly, Scott plowed into the powder, head on. He soon noticed a spike of blonde hair sticking out of the snow. Pulling Matt's unconscious form from the fray, he wondered what to do next. In a flash of enlightenment, Mr.Ishida remembered a cave on the other side of the mountain. Swimming through the sea of snow with his free hand, he managed to make it to the correct side.
A black speck became visible as he let the avalanche carry him further down the mountain. 'Just a few more seconds.' Scott thought as he got ready to spring. A few feet from the mouth, he jumped, and by some miracle, made it into the cave before the mouth was completely covered. Mr.Ishida set his son gently on the cavern floor. "Well," he said more to himself than to the sleeping figure "Looks like were spending the night." And with that he started to set up camp.
Back at the lodge
Mimi paced restlessly across the floor. Tk was trying to hold back tears of fear for his brother and father with Kari comforting him. "You're going to wear a hole in the floor before long." Sora joked trying to lighten the mood. "I'm sorry, Sora," Mimi said, looking out the window at the falling snow. "Its just…..nerves"
"Well, I hope they found some place to sleep," Izzy commented, "We're supposed to have another blizzard tonight." Mimi shivered at the thought. "Hey, wait a minute. He still carry's his digivice doesn't he?" she asked Tk. He nodded. "Well then, all we have to do is track it's signal. I can't believe we didn't think of it before!"
"Prodigious!" Izzy exclaimed as he set to work. "Got it!" he said a few minutes later. The rest of the group crowded around him. " They're in a cave about 35 miles from here. I'll print a map." As soon as the map was printed, Mimi grabbed it and her coat, running to the garage. "Where's she going?" Sora wondered, following her friend.
Mimi had just started the snowmobile, when Sora arrived. "What are you doing?" "I am going to find him." Mimi said matter-of-factly. Her friends eyes widened in surprise. "What?!?! Mimi, no! It's to dangerous! You could get hurt or lost or...or...""Sora," Mimi said, staring her best friend in the eye. "This is just something I have to do. Please understand." Sora sighed in defeat. "Alright, but please be careful." Mimi smiled and took off. A few minutes later Tai came running out. "Sora, where's Mimi?"
"She left to find Matt." She answered, still staring in the direction her friend had gone. "What?! We've got to go after her!" Sora turned to face Tai. "And how would we do that? She took the only snow mobile."
In the cave
Matt was awakened by the warmth and crackling of a small fire. Blinking he heard his Dad approaching. "Are you feeling ok?" Mr. Ishida asked, crouching next to him. Matt tried to get up, but yelped in pain as he put wait on his left leg." No, not really. What happened?" he said, taking in the cavern for the first time. "The last thing I remember is helping Tk."
" You got caught by the avalanche and were rammed into a tree, breaking your leg." He said, gesturing to the leg, covered in a bloodied bandana. " I turned around to help you and managed to get you in here. Unfortunately, the snow completely covered the mouth, so we're trapped. I've been trying to dig my way out for 2 hours now." Matt sat there, shocked.
Mr.Ishida sighed. "You should probably get some rest. I'll be here if you need anything. Not like I'm going anywhere." "Ok, and dad?" "Yeah?" "Thanks for saving me. I owe you one." Mr.Ishida just smirked and went back to work.
MIMI
She grunted in frustration as the snowmobile groaned and sputtered. "Keep going, keep going!" she urged the machine. There might be some irony here, but Mimi didn't see it, as the machine clanked to a stop, fuel gauge on empty. "Damn" she cursed softly to her self. Taking the same bag of supplies from the trunk, she kicked it once then set out on foot. "A 30 mile hike is JUST what I need."
