First of all, I'd like to thank to all those who reviewed me. Next,
into this chapter, the digimons that I've created are the Snowmons,
IceFrigimon and MetalRaidramon.
5.Ice and Lightning
Matt realized after some moments that he was surrounded by ice.
"Not again.", he said.
"What's wrong Matt?", asked Gabumon
"Do you remember when we fought for the first time with Devilmon and we were separated?", Matt inquired.
"Of course I do but. Oh yes, I remember now. When I got cold."
"Yes", said Matt sad. He remembered that it was all his fault. He wanted to search T.K and he got lost. He felt down and Gabumon found him. He took Matt into a cave and took care of him too. He also gave him his fur. He wanted to be sure that his friend will be Ok.
"I'm worried about T.K", said Matt. "I wish I could protect him in these moments."
"Matt", said Gabumon with reproach, "could you please stop being so worried? He is big and strong enough to take care of himself."
"Yes but."
"No but Matt. Don't you understand? He wants to take care of himself. He doesn't like to be treated like a little defenseless child."
"Yes Gabumon, I know, but I'm worried about him. You never had a smaller brother."
"But he is big now. You still don't understand, don't you? He doesn't like to be treated like a baby. Not even Kari is so overprotected. Tai also cares about T.K more than about Kari. Or maybe not, but he still cares about T.K. But anyway, everyone wants to know that he is OK. And I understand him. And I'm sure that Patamon also does. So leave him alone to do what he wants to."
"Very well Gabumon. Now let's go and find a way out of here or at least some answers."
The two partners kept walking and walking and after half an hour they saw a forest. The trees were covered with snow and still, strangely, there were wild strawberries.
"I'm sick of eating fruits 24 hours a day", said Matt revolted.
"This is an average thing in the Digital World."
"You are right. At least we have something to eat."
Matt sneezed.
"You are cold Matt", said Gabumon worried.
"It's Ok. Let's just keep walking."
But after 5 minutes they saw a digimon inside the forest.
"Mojamon?", said Gabumon surprised.
"Gabumon! Matt!", said Mojamon happy. "I'm glad to see you. What are you doing here?"
"ArchDevilmon.", began Matt.
"Yes, I know. He is the source of all the chaos in this world. Alas, I escaped."
"But how did you escaped without becoming his slave?", asked Matt.
"It's a very long story. It begins in a shiny day when Meramon told us that."
"You should make defenses for any enemies that could corrupt the world.", finished Gabumon.
"How do you know?", asked Mojamon surprised.
"Elecmon told use everything. But he also told us that you were corrupted too and that you lead them with Unimon and Frigimon inside the forest", explained Matt.
"Well, first of all, I regret everything I did. But it really happened like this: ArchDevilmon really corrupted me but when we had tried to lead the others into the forest, Unimon's attack hit me and weakened the power that was controlling me. After they left, I told Frigimon and Unimon that I'm going into the forest to see if they really went there. After I was deep into the forest I managed to remove the shadow that was controlling me. So I escaped. I ran far until I arrived in the Ice land, here. Everything was peaceful and quite until ArchDevilmon created the islands and so I remained here. The only problem was that ArchDevilmon has put a master on each island to control the digimons. Can you guess who is the leader here?"
"Yes", said Matt. "It's Frigimon".
"You are perfectly right. The problem is that ArchDevilmon made him stronger and so he transformed Frigimon to level Mega. So he is now IceFrigimon."
"No, it can't be possible. He is too strong for us Gabumon. We are unable to defeat him", said Matt.
"I can lead you to his castle if you want", said Mojamon.
"Until that, could I check something Mojamon?", asked Matt.
"Sure, go on. Just that I hope it won't hurt."
"It depends on you. This will show us if you really aren't corrupted. Because if you are you will surely lead us into a trap."
Matt pointed his digivice to Mojamon chest and then he shouted "HOLY PURPOSE!". Suddenly Mojamon began to struggle.
"You lied to us!", said Gabumon angry. "Blue Blaster", he shouted at Mojamon hitting him.
"Yes, I didn't tell you the whole truth. I didn't wanted to lead you into a trap and I really ran out of ArchDevilmon here."
"Then why are you still possessed?", asked Gabumon.
"Do you remember when I told you that Unimon hit me with his attack? Well he didn't banished the shadow. I tried as hard as I could but it was impossible. It still possesses my body but it doesn't possess by mind."
"We can banish it for you if you really wish", said Matt.
"I would be grateful."
"But you must stay still", said Matt. "It will hurt a little, but after that everything will be OK. Are you ready?"
"Yes", said Mojamon a little bit scared.
"HOLY PURPOSE!", shouted Matt as hard as he could while holding his digivice pointed to Mojamon. The shadow was removed very fast. After that, Matt destroyed it.
"Thank you very much", said Mojamon. "As you can see, I wasn't trying to mislead you."
"Yes, we believe you now", said Matt.
"Now I will lead you to the castle. But beware, it is very heavily protected. You must defeat its guardians."
"Do you know what digimons protect the castle?", asked Gabumon.
"Well, I only spotted Snowmons and Frigimons. They are easy to defeat but they are very numerous. We must also cross a very big lake. I don't know how will we do it. Because I can't swim, the water is very cold and you can't either. We will have to find a solution."
"Let's just go there and defeat those digimons and then we will see what happens next", said Matt.
They arrived there faster than Matt had thought. Of course that riding on Garurumon was very comfortable and Mojamon wasn't slow at all. When they finally arrived to the castle they made a plan.
"We will have to save as many as we can", said Matt. "We are not killers. We are here to save the world. Don't forget that!"
"But we don't have many chances to save more then 100. Try to save the Snowmons. Frigimons are very hard to be saved. They are more powerful. And as you can see, the lake protects the castle. So we must defeat or save the digimons first. Don't let any of them escape, OK?", said Mojamon.
"Very well", agreed both Matt and Gabumon.
"Digi-armor-Egg of Friendship", Matt shouted.
"Gabumon, Armor Digivolve to. Raidramon."
"Cool", Mojamon exclaimed.
"Shut up", said Matt. "Let's go. If you don't mind, I would like to sit on your back Raidramon so I can launch the Holy Purpose easier."
"Very well", said Raidramon agreeing with what Matt had said.
"Holy Purpose!", shouted Matt at the Snowmons while Raidramon was entering into the clearing. He hit six Snowmons who ran immediately.
"Blue Lightning", shouted Raidramon killing some Snowmons and damaging some Frigimons. But the attackers didn't intimidate the enemies. They were contra-attacking in waves which were very hard to dodge.
"Snow touch", the Frigimons shouted while attacking Raidramon.
The attackers were advancing but there were still many digimons to defeat. After a long fight only a couple of Frigimons and no Snowmons remained. Matt could save only very few. Suddenly, the Frigimons attacked Mojamon, pushing him back. After some moments, Mojamon fell down.
"Blue Lightning", Raidramon shouted while destroying the Frigimons one by one.
"Mojamon!", Matt shouted while running to him.
"Don't worry about me", said Mojamon slowly. "I cannot follow you further but I'm sure that you will succeed in your quest. You must continue. I can't be saved anyway."
"No!", shouted Matt. "Holy Purpose". But his protection had no effect.
"I told you. Don't waste your powers with me. Remember just that after you have defeated his minions, you must face and defeat Frigimon too. Pass the lake, and defeat him. Good luck. May Azulomon shine upon you." After his last words, Mojamon died, transforming his body into simple dates.
"ArchDevilmon will pay for all he did to our friends. For all he is doing to this world. For all he did to T.K.", said Matt angrily.
"Let's go", said Raidramon who had finished with the Frigimons.
They arrived to the lake very fast.
"Look! The castle! It's so big.", remarked Raidramon.
"Stop that! Lets' just cross that stupid lake."
But Matt and Gabumon (who returned to Rookie level) didn't found any way to pass on the other edge. They searched for a bridge or an underground tunnel but it seemed that the lake was impossible to be crossed."
"For Joe would've been very easy. Ikkakumon would've just crossed the lake without any problems. Patamon, Pyomon and Tentomon can all fly so for Izzy, Sora and T.K would've been very easily too."
"Stop it Matt", said Gabumon sad. "Don't you think that I want to be able to fly or swim like the others at smaller levels? But I can't. And it's not my fault."
"I'm sorry Gabumon but I just."
"It's OK, Matt. I understand that you are sad. I wish I had been able to evolve further too, but first we must trust each other and try to do our best."
"You are right Gabumon. We must fight like a team, like partners, like friends."
"Who is disturbing master IceFrigimon?", asked a voice that seemed to come from the lake.
"I, Gabumon challenge your master to a fight."
"Ha ha ha", laughed the voice. "Very well. If you manage to pass. First of all, I will give you a riddle to solve."
"Very well", said Matt. "Let's hear it."
"He has wings but he can't fly
He is also very sly
He knows how to stop you bound
He will block you look around."
"I'm sure he is a digimon", said Gabumon.
"Yes, but how many digimons are in this world?", asked Matt sarcastically.
"Hundreds, maybe thousands, I don't know all of them.. ", said Gabumon innocently.
"Then, how do you think that I will know?", said Matt madly.
"Let's just stop fighting and think at the riddle", said Gabumon.
"Yeah, you are right. First we should think at a digimon that has wings."
"You mean a bird digimon", said Gabumon.
"Exactly. How many bird digimons do you know?", asked Matt.
"Over one hundred. But we must think only at digimons that have wings and can't fly."
They kept thinking for more than an hour.
"OK. Let's take the next part", said Gabumon nervously.
"Very well. Sly digimon?"
"Neah, it's too hard. Next!"
"He will stop you bound? That means that he is very fast, doesn't it?"
"Maybe", said Gabumon vaguely.
"And he can stop you look around. Maybe he can blind you or he can stop any source of light. Hey!"
"Yes?", asked the voice.
"Isn't he ArchDevilmon?"
"No!", said the voice. "Keep trying."
"Or maybe. I don't know", said Gabumon.
"Maybe it's just metaphoric. Maybe he is so fast that you can't see him."
"Flymons, have wings and they are insect digimons. Airdramons are insect digimons."
"He will block you move or look around", Matt kept thinking. "Hey, Gabumon, what if he. petrifies you?"
"No, you can't possibly think at what I'm thinking don't you?"
"Of course."
"Kokatorimon", they both said.
"He has wings but he can't fly.", said Gabumon.
"And he is very sly. Remember last time he tricked us?"
"Of course I do.""
"You are right", said the voice. "You may pass now." An enlightened bridge appeared and they crossed the lake.
"Phew, that was close", said Gabumon alleviated.
"Don't hurry up to rest so fast, we still have to defeat.", said Matt.
"IceFrigimon!"
Gabumon's words made the earth move and suddenly a huge block of ice appeared in front of them. Then the block broke and a digimon covered with ice got out of it.
"IceFrigimon?", asked Matt.
"Yes, Matt. I remember you so well. You came to fight me? You came here to die?"
"Speak for yourself", said Gabumon angrily.
"I remember you well too. The little helpless digimon who got cold. Are you the only one who is going to confront me? It will be very easy."
"DigiArmor-egg of Friendship", shouted Matt.
"Gabumon, armor digivolve to. Raidramon."
"Blue lightning!", Raidramon shouted but Frigimon blocked it single- handed.
"This is all?", he asked sarcastically. "Blizzard!". Blocks of ice began to hit Raidramon and they soon put him down. "Had enough?", asked IceFrigimon exactly like Meramon.
"Blue Lightning!", shouted Gabumon as hard as he could but IceFrigimon blocked it again.
"Oh please!", said IceFrigimon sarcastically. "I see you didn't have enough! Then maybe you want to taste more of my powers. Ice Nova!" Exactly like ArchDevilmon's DarkRing this attack expanded but not so much. Raidramon ran in front of Matt to protect him and so he got frozen.
"No, Raidramon!", shouted Matt. "Holy Purpose! Please, resist."
"Poor little digimon.", said IceFrigimon.
"Raidramon, you must fight. For all of us, for our friends the digimons. In the name of the DigiWorld." Suddenly, the white ray turned Blue and then suddenly the ice broke and then.
"Raidramon, Friendship evolution to. MetalRaidramon."
Frigimon seemed to be now more angry than scared.
"MetalRaidramon?", he said with his eyes full of anger.
MetalRaidramon wasn't very different. He was now covered with steel (somehow like MetalGarurumon), he was bigger and he was also faster. His lightning over his head was bigger too. It was now white and was shining in the darkness.
"Blizzard", shouted IceFrigimon.
MetalRaidramon dodged the blocks of ice very fast.
"Lightning Diversion", shouted MetalRaidramon while covering himself with electricity. After some moments, from the white lightning, two MetalRaidramons came out and began to run near IceFrigimon.
"Lightning Bolt", one of them shouted and a horizontal lightning came out of his own lightning over his head but IceFrigimon dodged it.
"Ice Shadow", he shouted and his shadow became blue, throwing with ice into them. One of the MetalRaidramons was hit and it suddenly disappeared. It was the MetalRaidramon who attacked IceFrigimon.
"Pitiful attack", IceFrigimon said while the shadow was disappearing. "And now, the final attack. Blizzard."
But MetalRaidramon was too fast.
"Lightning Bolt", he shouted and another lightning pointed to IceFrigimon. IceFrigimon dodged it but the lightning didn't continued his course very much. After about five seconds, while IceFrigimon was laughing at MetalRaidramon who was concentrated on the lightning, the lightning came back and hit IceFrigimon. It looked like MetalRaidramon was controlling the lightning.
"Now Matt", he said.
"Oh yeah, right. Holy Purpose".
The ray of light hit IceFrigimon, who was now transforming back to Frigimon and the shadow disappeared.
"Yeah!", said Matt and MetalRaidramon turned back to Gabumon. "You were great."
"You too. Without you I couldn't ha've done it. Thanks to you I am stronger."
"Hmm, who's there?", asked Frigimon who seemed to wake up. "Matt, Gabumon, I'm glad to see you. Where's ArchDevilmon. I remember that last time I saw him was when he inserted into me another shadow of darkness. I hope I didn't hurt you."
"Not at all", said Matt smiling. "But could you please give me my amulet? I really need it."
"Oh yes, the amulet", said Frigimon. "It's right here. Take it."
Matt took the amulet of friendship.
"Well, we'd better be going now. Take care of yourself", said Matt.
"I will. And by the way, thanks for saving me. And good luck in your journey."
"Thanks!", said Gabumon.
"Continent Sarba", shouted Matt and then he and Gabumon began to fly throughout the ray.
"Goodbye!", they said and then they disappeared.
The amulet of friendship and courage was shining once again. But where were the others?!
5.Ice and Lightning
Matt realized after some moments that he was surrounded by ice.
"Not again.", he said.
"What's wrong Matt?", asked Gabumon
"Do you remember when we fought for the first time with Devilmon and we were separated?", Matt inquired.
"Of course I do but. Oh yes, I remember now. When I got cold."
"Yes", said Matt sad. He remembered that it was all his fault. He wanted to search T.K and he got lost. He felt down and Gabumon found him. He took Matt into a cave and took care of him too. He also gave him his fur. He wanted to be sure that his friend will be Ok.
"I'm worried about T.K", said Matt. "I wish I could protect him in these moments."
"Matt", said Gabumon with reproach, "could you please stop being so worried? He is big and strong enough to take care of himself."
"Yes but."
"No but Matt. Don't you understand? He wants to take care of himself. He doesn't like to be treated like a little defenseless child."
"Yes Gabumon, I know, but I'm worried about him. You never had a smaller brother."
"But he is big now. You still don't understand, don't you? He doesn't like to be treated like a baby. Not even Kari is so overprotected. Tai also cares about T.K more than about Kari. Or maybe not, but he still cares about T.K. But anyway, everyone wants to know that he is OK. And I understand him. And I'm sure that Patamon also does. So leave him alone to do what he wants to."
"Very well Gabumon. Now let's go and find a way out of here or at least some answers."
The two partners kept walking and walking and after half an hour they saw a forest. The trees were covered with snow and still, strangely, there were wild strawberries.
"I'm sick of eating fruits 24 hours a day", said Matt revolted.
"This is an average thing in the Digital World."
"You are right. At least we have something to eat."
Matt sneezed.
"You are cold Matt", said Gabumon worried.
"It's Ok. Let's just keep walking."
But after 5 minutes they saw a digimon inside the forest.
"Mojamon?", said Gabumon surprised.
"Gabumon! Matt!", said Mojamon happy. "I'm glad to see you. What are you doing here?"

They kept thinking for more than an hour.

"He will block you move or look around", Matt kept thinking. "Hey, Gabumon, what if he. petrifies you?"
"No, you can't possibly think at what I'm thinking don't you?"
"Of course."
"Kokatorimon", they both said.
"He has wings but he can't fly.", said Gabumon.
"And he is very sly. Remember last time he tricked us?"
"Of course I do.""
"You are right", said the voice. "You may pass now." An enlightened bridge appeared and they crossed the lake.
"Phew, that was close", said Gabumon alleviated.
"Don't hurry up to rest so fast, we still have to defeat.", said Matt.
"IceFrigimon!"
Gabumon's words made the earth move and suddenly a huge block of ice appeared in front of them. Then the block broke and a digimon covered with ice got out of it.

"No, Raidramon!", shouted Matt. "Holy Purpose! Please, resist."
"Poor little digimon.", said IceFrigimon.
"Raidramon, you must fight. For all of us, for our friends the digimons. In the name of the DigiWorld." Suddenly, the white ray turned Blue and then suddenly the ice broke and then.

"Ice Shadow", he shouted and his shadow became blue, throwing with ice into them. One of the MetalRaidramons was hit and it suddenly disappeared. It was the MetalRaidramon who attacked IceFrigimon.
"Pitiful attack", IceFrigimon said while the shadow was disappearing. "And now, the final attack. Blizzard."
But MetalRaidramon was too fast.
"Lightning Bolt", he shouted and another lightning pointed to IceFrigimon. IceFrigimon dodged it but the lightning didn't continued his course very much. After about five seconds, while IceFrigimon was laughing at MetalRaidramon who was concentrated on the lightning, the lightning came back and hit IceFrigimon. It looked like MetalRaidramon was controlling the lightning.
"Now Matt", he said.
"Oh yeah, right. Holy Purpose".
The ray of light hit IceFrigimon, who was now transforming back to Frigimon and the shadow disappeared.
"Yeah!", said Matt and MetalRaidramon turned back to Gabumon. "You were great."
"You too. Without you I couldn't ha've done it. Thanks to you I am stronger."
"Hmm, who's there?", asked Frigimon who seemed to wake up. "Matt, Gabumon, I'm glad to see you. Where's ArchDevilmon. I remember that last time I saw him was when he inserted into me another shadow of darkness. I hope I didn't hurt you."
"Not at all", said Matt smiling. "But could you please give me my amulet? I really need it."
"Oh yes, the amulet", said Frigimon. "It's right here. Take it."
Matt took the amulet of friendship.
"Well, we'd better be going now. Take care of yourself", said Matt.
"I will. And by the way, thanks for saving me. And good luck in your journey."
"Thanks!", said Gabumon.
"Continent Sarba", shouted Matt and then he and Gabumon began to fly throughout the ray.
"Goodbye!", they said and then they disappeared.
The amulet of friendship and courage was shining once again. But where were the others?!
