The boys and Digimon were walking along chatting when a strong cold wind blew. Shini pulled he shirt around his neck and shivered. Then it began to snow really fast and hard and they all ran looking for shelter; they found a cave and ran in. It was a bit snug but they were able to make a fire and stay warm. But a sudden avalanche covered the entrance and they couldn't get out. So they stayed and huddled by the fire and slept.
They awoke with the sound of scraping and they furiously dug too. Eventually the snow fell away and sunlight poured in. They crawled out and shield their eyes from snow sun glare. The entire area had been covered in snow! Snow was everywhere for miles! Then they noticed the Digimon who freed them. They were Agumon, but white. "We're Snow Agumon! We used to be regular Agumon but the snow made us change! Not that that's a bad thing but the evil Digimon made it snow everywhere freezing many little Digimon. He also froze anyone who seemed a challenge to him. We noticed you cause the snow was steaming!" Two Agumon pulled out some fur coats and gave it to the boys. "Tell us more about this, Digimon . . . " they all walked away.
In a log cabin,
The boys and Digimon were sitting around a fire, sipping hot cocoa, and talking about the new Digimon. "This place used to be a giant forest, where competitions were held to cut down trees. We could hold these contests cause new trees popped up every day. The winner was the person with the most straightly cut planks. But there were no hard feelings and everyone became friends. This went up to the extent where it even became called the Friendly Forest. But when Ice Devimon,"
"Ice Devimon!?" Rei interrupted the Snow Agumon, "Great another one, Devimon was hard enough!" The Snow Agumon looked at the boys in awe.
"If you beat Devimon, you can sure beat Ice Devimon!" they said excitedly.
"Yeah but we ha-" Rei covered Shini's mouth. "Have to share the honor of defeating this one so any digimon you know that are champions around here?" He muttered to Shini, "nobody needs to know that others helped us defeat him, cause then the'll think we cant defeat anyone? We got Ogremon by ourselves. Then we discovered it was more efficient to recruit others." Shini and Rei smiled pleasantly.
"Well, one strong and courageous Snow Agumon digivolved to save his clan from freezing. He's frozen now but we'll see what we can do. Then there's Frigimon and, um, I guess that's it. Everyone was frozen before they had a chance to evolve or they don't matter cause they can't survive the cold." The Snow Agumon looked sad.
"Cheer up mon! As soon as we get free this Digimon, we'll go and get that Ice Devimon!" They cheered and led the way to the frozen Digimon. But unknown to them, Ice Devimon was watching and flew through the snowing air, following them.
"Let's go white Shini! Guilmon armor digivolve to Gargomon!" Shini agreed and Rena turned into Swanmon. "White Statue!" tendrils of liqui-white-marble bore into the ice block containing the Digimon. "White Marie!" and the blast started to heat it up. "Little Blizard!" "Ice Chomp!" the Snow Agumon did what ever they could to help. About half the block had been melted away when,
"Frost Claw!" Icy cold claws slashed and hit Swanmon away from the block. "Zero Freeze!" the other hand grabbed Gargomon and slowly ice covered his body. "I am Ice Devimon and you shall freeze and starve till your death! Then you'll never get the egg!" "Black Statue!" Gargomon retaliated and a black marble hammer slammed down on Ice Devimon's hand. He let go of Gargomon.
"White Marie!" the blast knocked Ice Devimon to the ground and he tore through the ice, sliding. He stumbled up, but was knocked down by twenty or so angry biting Snow Agumon. He flew up into the air and clawed them off. Then he rained zero freezes on them all. Swanmon flew up to him and used a tornado of down, which knocked him out of the air, and he crashed into the ice black, cracking it in half. A Digimon popped out. "Aaah! I'm Hyougamon and I'm free! Too bad for your Ice Devimon! Icicle Toss!" He took two icicles out from his back and threw them at Ice Devimon, who barely dodged them. "He looks like a frozen Ogremon," Shini whispered to Rei. "Ice Club!" The sharp icicle whirled towards Ice Devimon who flew into the air to escape it. He flew off yelling, "You can't defeat me in my own element, no matter how many off you try!" All the Digimon retreated back to the cabin.
"So what next, look for that Frigimon?" asked Shini. "Yes he's probably trying to get through the ice spike wall again. We can all look around the wall for him." Said a Snow Agumon. "Wall? Well I guess building walls runs in the Devimon family." Everyone had a last cup of cocoa and headed out again.
Gargomon and Swanmon flew up and saw tall icy spikes suddenly fall down and smash. They fled back to the ground and led everyone to the disturbance. Eventually they were able to here, "Sub Zero Icepunch! Sub Zero Ice Punch!" They all ran over to him fast. Frigimon stopped and swept up the Agumon in his arms and spun them around.
"Hoho! How are my little friends faring? Don't worry you, I'll defeat that Digimon yet. Who are you five?" he suddenly took on a defensive stance.
"Ohoh, don't worry Frigimon!" said a little Snow Agumon, "They are going o help you defeat Ice Devimon! That's Shini and his partner Swanmon, and Rei and his partner Gargomon! And Hyougamon is one of us! A Snow Agumon digivoled into him to protect his family!" Frigimon patted Hyougamon on the back. "I knew you had it in you, now, go back home little snowies, and let the big Digimon handle the wall and Ice Devimon." The Snow Agumon went back to the cabin, and the other Digimon discussed a battle plan.
"We need to just surround him, and get him down on the ground. It's as simple as that. We need to be united and save any one before they totally freeze. I have a fire digimon, do you think that will be helpful?" ask Shini.
"Yes, so you'll be are antifreeze while we pummel him, Gargomon, you can use your marble to keep him from flying away. This could be easy, but we need to get him fast. Before he figures out everything." Everyone agreed and turned to the wall. Frigimon punched it, Swanmon turned to Lynxmon and heated it up, Hyougamon slammed his ice club into it and Gargomon formed a black marble scythe and cut the tops of the spikes. Eventually a section of the wall dropped away. Gargomon sucked in the marble and they all crept in. A furry of snow immediately fell upon them.
"Frost Claw!" Icy claws snatched up Hyougamon into the air and dropped him to a patch of spikes. But he was able to throw a bone club at them and smash them to save himself. Frigimon fired subzero ice punch at Ice Devimon but he dodged them all. "Zero Freeze!" ice started to creep onto Frigimon, but Lynxmon thermal flamed the ice away. Gargomon flew up after Ice Devimon with a liqui-black-marble lasso. After a few throws Ice Devimon snatched it and froze it, then threw it to the ground, where it shattered. The two flying demons charged each other and formed a dead lock. They wrestled and then flew apart. Ice Devimon fired a blast of ice, Gargomon a blast of black marble. The two blasts exploded together and Gargomon charged through the shards and slammed Ice Devimon to the ground. He flew around him, firing liqui-white marble at his feet, and Ice Devimon was stuck. Hyougamon charged at him and threw his ice club at him. Ice Devimon zero froze it. Lynxmon jumped over and unfroze it for him. Meanwhile Ice Devimon had caught Frigimons punch and has holding onto his fist, and quickly zero freezing it. Lynxmon ran back quickly to him and washed flames over them. The end result was two charred unhappy Digimon. "Oops,"
"Black Statue!" Gargomon formed a spiked ball and chain. And swung it at Ice Devimon. He ducked and swung his frosty claws at it. He caught it and swung Gargomon into the other Digimon, and they all landed in a heap. Ice Devimon Zero Frooze the marble and it cracked, freeing him. He flapped his wings a few times and picked up air. Snow whirled around him and he took off.
"He's heading to the cabin! We need to save them!" Frigimon yelled and he took off. Gargomon made marble chains and carried everyone over the wall and they all charged after him. Gargomon put on a huge burst of speed and reached the cabin before anyone. He told the Snow Agumon to run and hide, and then covered the whole cabin with white marble slabs. He then raced back to the other Digimon. "Follow my lead," he whispered to them. Ice Devimon reached the cabin and saw its marble protection.
"Ha! Your marble cant save them now! Zero Freeze!" An icy blast hit the front slab and slowly it began to crack. At this point the other Digimon arrived. "No! I have to stop you!" Gargomon rushed Ice Devimon, but he just turned up the cold and the slab cracked in half and fell away. Ice Devimon rushed inside the cabin.
"Now everyone, fire inside the cabin, we'll rebuild it later! Black Statue!" "Wild Nail Rush!" "Icicle Toss!" "Sub-zero Ice Punch!" The cabin was blown away and when the smoke cleared, a very hurt and weak Ice Devimon was left. Ferocious little biting clawing Snow Agumon then covered him as the ice swiftly melted away from the land and the Snow Agumon turned back into Agumon, and Hyougamon turned into a Tyrannomon. Lynxmon looked at the remains and saw that the only thing left was a perfectly unharmed tree trunk. She called Shini, Rei and Gargomon over and then hopped on top of the trunk. A rumbling was heard, and suddenly they were fired into the air! They hit the deck and clung to the edges of the log top and eventually a big net caught them. Then they tumbled heads over heels and landed on mattress; they looked around and saw a great big nice tree house.
A flash. "Ah, thank you so much for warming up the land and clearing the path to this tree house. Now all the festivities that once were held here can comeback, after many years. So, very impressive that you make so many lovely friends to help you defeat each Digimon. And I have created a test this time, has any one guessed the virtue?" Shini and Rei said unanimously "Friendship," "Very good. So in you go, see ya!" In a flash both boys disappeared.
This time we shall see the test from the Digimons' point of view, let's back up a bit . . .
"So in you go, see ya!" In a flash both boys disappeared. Then they flashed back immediately. "So it was obvious that one of you has more friendship than the other. And that is,"
That was from the Digimon point of view, Valkyrimon doesn't like waiting so he creates worlds where no time passes, now for the boys point of view . . .
Shini:
It was raining hard and the wind was blowing, but Shini was bundled up tight. He peeked out of his hood to look around him and saw his best friend, Chan running up to him! They did their o-so-secret handshake and greeted each other excitedly. Then Chan said, "Look! Game-boy Advance, and it's just across that bridge!" Chan and Shini ran up to the bridge and started to carefully cross it. All of a sudden a board broke and Chan fell through! He caught on to the bridge by one hand. Shini carefully bent down and grabbed Chan's other hand, and hoisted him back up, after much struggling. Then the bridged snapped completely and the two grabbed on to the bridge and slammed against the canyon wall. Slowly but surely, they then climbed back up to safety. *Flash*
Rei:
It was raining hard and the wind was blowing, but Rei didn't care. He raised a hand and looked around and saw his closest friend, Zen, running up to him. They greeted each other and exchanged news. Then Zen said, "Aha, Game-boy Advance, and it's just across that bridge." Zen and Rei ran up to the bridge and started to carefully cross it. All of a sudden a board broke and Zen fell through! He caught on to the bridge by one hand. Rei looked down and whispered, "Brb" and he walked carefully to the other side of the bridge and picked up the game boy and stuffed it inside his pocket. Then the bridge snapped and Zen slammed against the wall, and he climbed up to safety and wiped himself off. He then walked away, not looking back leaving Rei trapped on the other side. *Flash*
"So it was obvious that one of you has more friendship than the other. And that is, you Shini and you get to choose from six wonderful, and good tree cutting, Digimon. They are: Raidramon, Stegomon, Bitmon, Sepikmon, Rinkmon, and Togemogumon." Shini looked at Rena for a specific characteristic, and caught her stretching. He then realized how flexible and she was and how she could jump and climb nice and fast. So agility knocked off the stegosaur and the porcupine, and climbing knocked off the rabbit and the dragon one. "It's all a matter of aesthetic taste, so I choose Rinkmon!" 'who wants an ugly monkey?' Shini thought. "Great!" said Valkyrimon and he told Shini the rest of his little speech and in a flash he was gone and the four were back down on the ground with the rest of the happy Digimon.
I am happy to say that there are no strange antics in the forces of evil.
The four had bid their farewell and had gone off in search of the next egg. They were flying along what looked like an unused highway. A speck in the horizon approached and came closer. The four flew up to it, it was bird Digimon, and it said "Hi! I'm Biyomon and the results of the big match are in! Vilemon is still the champion of the ring! He cannot be defeated! Hello! This is Biymon," the bird flew on but Rei grabbed it by the leg and swung it back. "Wait one minute, who is this undefeatable champion? He doesn't sound too tough."
"Are you interested in fighting him? Well you can sign up right here! And here is a map of how to get to the ring." After looking at the map, Rei whispered to Shini "The ring is right where the next egg is. So maybe Vilemon is becoming a reigning champion to keep everyone away from there, let's sign up." And they did and Biyomon lead the way to the ring house.
They entered a large dark city with many rookie Digimon hurriedly entering their houses after they did fast errands. The boys saw glimpses of champion Digimon prowling around looking for trouble, so Shini guessed that this was a good city gone bad for some reason. A champion leapt infront of their path. "I'm Centarumon and where do you think your going?" Biyomon answered proudly, "We're going to the ring to fight Vilemon." "Oh good for you! I hope you defeat him cause ever since he became champion, the city's gone into a crime rut. Good luck!" the Digimon ran back into the shadows. Some one ran up behind them.
"Wait! I'm Leomon and I have traveled many miles to fight this pest. Let me sign up!" So he did and Shini suggested, "Why don't we become a team, and take each other's places if we don't succeed?" They agreed and it was settled. There was no way Vilemon had a chance now!!
When they finally reached the ring house, they found a table and ordered their soda, and when it came, they discussed who would go first. Leomon left to order fries. Then a figure flapped over to their table. It looked like a small runty Ogremon with wings.
"Hello you little pints? You wouldn't happen to be about to fight in the ring would you? I'll give you a chance for you rookies to get along home." Vilemon took careful note of the humans, but didn't say anything. "You little runts don't" Leomon tapped Vilemon on the shoulder from behind.
"What do you, ah, a worthy adversary I'll be glad to see you in the ring, now where was I," Vilemon turned back to the four at the table. He saw Rinkmon and Gargomon looking very pissed off. "I was just leaving," and Vilemon flew off to bother some other mon. Everyone dug into the huge bucket of greasy ketchupy salty fries, and it was eventually decided that the order was Leomon, then Rinkmon, and last Gargomon. They walked into the arena and waited for their turn. They picked out some good seats and watched the fights.
What Announcer says = {what he says}
{The First match all mons is the great Centarumon vs the current champion, Vilemon!} Cheers and boos echoed all around. A bell rung. The five good Digimon cheered the challenger on.
Centarumon rushed Vilemon but he hopped out of the way, "Nightmare Shocker!" the blow hit him in the back of the head. "Is that allowed?" Shini asked Leomon, "Yeah, how else do you fight? With your hands? Haha!" replied Leomon, Shini shrank back. Centarumon reeled around and reared up on his back legs and tried to smash Vilemon under his fore hooves. But Vilemon rolled out of the way and shocked him again. "Hunting Cannon!" The blast clipped Vilemon but he shocked Centarumon right in the chest, and he was blasted back into the corner. Vilemon threw himself at the ring net and bounced right back into Centarumon. The bell rung and the match was over. A few Digimon carried the unconscious Centarumon off the ring. The five left the ring.
"Ok I think we need some practice. Anywhere we can go to warm up?" Asked Rei, and Leomon lead the way to a large weight room. Leomon did some bench pressing. Gargomon did pull-ups, and Rinkmon practiced a few kicks and punches on a punching bag. While they were in that room exercising, another spectator walked into the arena.
"Where do you think your going, rabbit?" A Raremon blocked the way of the mysterious visitor. He batted away the slime ball into a wall with a flick of the wrist. No others bothered him. He walked towards Vilemon and started to talk.
So my little champion, in both senses of the word, how are things?
Vilemon gulped. "I'm wining all the time, some humans came, I beat another"
What? Humans?! Those are obviously the boys, you must be very wary of them and you have to defeat them. Unlike those other worthless worms, I will be here to personally supervise the fight. The stranger approached the benches and five Digimon offered their seat. He sat down in one of them. The five good mons and boys walked back into the rink.
{Everyone will you please welcome the ever famous king of the beasts, Leomon!!!} Cheers rose up on all sides. Leomon climbed into the ring. The bell rang, "Fist of the Beast King!" The Blast slammed Vilemon unawares, but when he glanced at the stranger, sitting angrily in his seat, he popped right back up and nightmare shocked him in the face. Then he spun around Leomon and shocked him everywhere.
Leomon reached back and snagged the little devil out of the air. With a smash of the fist Vilemon was slammed on the ring mattress and he barely had time to roll away as Leomon threw himself on top of him. Vilemon jumped on the back of the lion and shocked him right on the back of the neck. The bell rung and the match went Vilemon. He sagged and rested when the stranger sat back and folded his arms, content.
{I know its unusual but there is a team here today and Leomon was the first of three! Please welcome a totally new Digimon, Rinkmon!} The stranger sat up quickly as cheers and roars erupted from the entire building. Rinkmon jumped into the arena. And the bell rung.
"Nightmare shocker!" Rinkmon crouched and the energy ball whizzed by. He then leapt at Vilemon who screeched and flew out of the way. The crowd went wild as Rinkmon jumped to the center of the ring and held his arms out to the side. "Spinning CUTTER!" Rinkmon began to spin, then picked up speed and eventually became a dangerous tornado. He brushed by the left ring post and the top sailed off into an astonished audience.
{Hey watch it there!} The tornado rushed towards Vilemon and trapped him in the corner. "Hey! Hey! Be careful! Watch it!" pleaded Vilemon.
Worm, "Nightmare Shocker!" the blast hit Rinkmon in his feet and he fell over. He was then pummeled by many shocks. "Come on! Rinkmon you can do it!" yelled Shini. Rinkmon kicked up his legs, sending Vilemon sailing to the ground. HE raised an elbow and hurled himself towards Vilemon. Vilemon screamed and rolled out of the way. The spike on his arm dove into the floor and Rinkmon was stuck. He pulled frantically at it as the crowd booed.
"Haha! Loser! Nightmare shocker!" he continued his barrage of shocks. Rinkmon tried one last resort. "Quadruple storm!" Four large spikes, rackling with electricity raced towards Vilemon, the crowd went wild. But Vilemon dove through the center of the attack and the shards crashed into each other. Vilemon was about to shock him when Rinkmon reverted to Rena. Shini threw in the towel. Vilemon stepped back and Shini picked up a tired Rena. The stranger walked nonchalantly over to Vilemon and grabbed his arm, he then let go and Vilemon was full of new energy.
{The next and last member of this team, is, Gargomon!!!} Gargomon flew in from the ceiling and landed with a slam on the mat. He formed a black marble spiked ball and chain and swung it over the entire arena. The crowd stood up and jumped screaming, it was chaos. {Calm down everyone! Or the match wont start,} everyone grumbled and sat down. Gargomon towered over Vilemon. Exploit his weakness,
"Nightmare shocker!" the blast raced towards Gargomon, but he flapped out of the way. "Black Marble!" shards of sharp marble shot towards Vilemon, but he shocked them into dust. Gargomon picked up his chain and twirled it. "Give me your best shot!"
Vilemon shot the biggest shock he ever did but when it hit the whirling chain, he bounced back at slammed him into the mat. He lay there dazed. Gargomon whirle the chain above his head and brought it down on Vilemon. At that point the stranger established a psychic connection with Vilemon. He shocked the ball at the right angle for it to glance off and spin towards Rei. Color drained from Rei's face. Time slowed. Gargomon looked, oh so slowly at the ball, and his mouth dropped so slowly. He then dropped the chain as the ball reached three inches away from Rei's face.
Time sped up. Rei was splashed in the face by liquid marble. He stood up quickly and shook himself off and the marble evaporated. "White Marble!" white liquid marble gushed out of Gargomon's hands and the marble rose up to the ceiling and thickened. The arena was effectively closed off from all view. {This is an unexpected turn, thank goodness for ceiling cameras!} The crowd stampeded towards the view-screen of the overhead arena camera. The stranger blinked as his lost touch with Vilemon's mind. He sighed and walked over to the view screen.
Everyone saw Gargomon form a huge black scythe and swing it at Vilemon, and he deflected all the shocks. Then when Vilemon disintegrated the blade, he turned it into a sword and accidentally chopped another post down the middle as Vilemon dodged out of the way. {Contain yourselves mons!} Finally Gargomon blasted Vilemon through the marble wall with a spiked bat. The bell rung and the math went to Gargomon, the crowd swarmed over the ring and congratulated him. Biyomon threw the medal around his neck and he de-evolved into Guilmon. He, Shini, and Rena stood on the mat as the crowd cheered. Then the floor fell out from below them. The crowd rushed over and peered over, and in all the commotion no one noticed the stranger deleting Vilemon.
The four fell screaming and fell in a pool. They swam over the side and got out; alight came on and Valkyrimon flashed in. "Guess what? You guys get to take a written test on sincereity! Isn't that such a cool idea? Don't thank me now," He passed out pens and paper and the two boys got to work. 'Do you say your prayers?' 'Have you ever broken a window' 'Did you help out an unfortunate person?' were only some of the yes or no questions on the test. After twenty minutes the boys passed in the tests, and Valkyrimon ran it through a scan-tron. "Haha! Rei has more truthful yes's than Shini! So your choices, Rei, are: Yashamon, Ponchomon, Kabukimon, Frogmon, Shurimon, and Nohemon." Rei thought of how strong Growmon was and he looked at the muscular Yashamon. He chose that, the speech followed and in a flash the four were back above ground and he was gone.
Antieramon left the ring, pushing through many swarming happy Digimon. He got outside and walked into a very unhappy Diaboromon. "Not all isssss losst, the deviccce isss ready, let'ss go!" Diaboromon grabbed his shoulder and in a flash there wasn't a trace of both of them.
