Future Awakes-chapter 8

To Iniora Nackatori: Okay, I have that all figured out so you don't have to tell me... I have two more to write and I hope this turns out fine...

To blackmage718: Don't worry, Heather. You'll find your own BlackWarGreymon. If there's a will, there's a way! (Sarcastic) Okay, let's quit the sarcasm... Here's a kinda shabby chapter 8... Hope you don't mind... ;_;

To A-chan: You really think so? Well, I read the other half of this story by Iniora though and it sounds okay, I guess... I think that I need to polish up some words in here... And besides, a friend told me thru mail,(not Iniora. Some jerk in the Net who's my American pen pal! He's a jerk!!) that the action was corny. I HATE THAT COMMENT!!! Oh well, here's the chapter.

PLEASE REVIEW!!!!

P/s: Some words are created by Iniora Nackatori.

Once they reached Glacier Mountain, the place where they were climbing on sure fits the name. Bee, Beelzemon and Black were taking the 'airways' and flew up. Of course, they had to wait for the others...

"Man! When they say 'Glacier Mountain', they really mean it!" Jake said as a small chunk of ice he was grabbing broke off and nearly got him off balance. Nina was doing quite well seeing that she can make use of her sword as a pick and the rough soles of her shoes made her the lead.

"If anyone ever thinks about mountain climbing next holiday, I'll be sure to have his or her head on my wall!" Tosh said, almost slipping on his footing.

After a long climb, they reached a ledge where they sat down for a break. Kotemon, Wizardmon and Sorcerimon made a hole in one of the sides to make a temporary resting area so that the fire they'll build won't go off because of the wind.

Once they were done, everyone was gathering around the fire, warming themselves before continuing to search for the Wolfmons. So far, there was no sign of the wolf digimon.

"Okay, so how far are we going to climb, Beelzemon?" Ronfar said, rubbing his palms together in front of the fire. Beelzemon folded his arms across his chest and thought for a moment, trying to remember how much farther they would hike.

"It's been quite some time since I came here. If you're not careful, you're sure to be lost here. And if we're lucky enough, we should get to another ledge and Blizzard Wolves Territory should be around there." Beelzemon said, wrapping his wings around his body to keep warm. Man, even the thick leather jacket he had worn couldn't warm him enough! Or was it because he had stayed airborne too long?

"Are you sure about that? What you said wasn't so promising." Bee said, resting his head on his hand, looking at the rouge Beelzemon who was avoiding any eye contact.

"Hey, Beelzemon is nice enough to help us even if he's being hunted right now. He's a wanted digimon, remember? So, we should be thankful that he'll help." Kimber said, defending Beelzemon. Bee just gave an 'are-you-kidding!?' look and leaned against the wall.

After around an hour, they went back to climbing. By the time they reached the next ledge, there was a blizzard. Everyone stayed close together so that nobody would be lost in the storm. Black looked around, as if searching for someone and yelled over the howls of the wind;

"Where's Nina!?" The others suddenly noticed Nina's disappearance and decided to split into a few groups in search of Nina.

The storm had subdued when they reached an area which had snow reaching up to the DDs knees!

"Nina, where are you!" No response. The others were looking as well, but no sign of Nina anywhere.

"Say something, Nina!" Black said. With that voice, it would've echoed through the snow-covered cave nearby. Bee had a strong urge to just ram through the snow-covered cave and see Nina sitting there and he did it spreading his wings, he flew a few metres back and rammed right through the thick snow.

"Nina!" The Beelzemon said as he made his way through the snow. All he knew after that was almost being thrown off the cliff by Nina who had done a running tackle at him. He had to think and act fast to remain airborne or it'll be 'hasta-la- vista' for them. Black hovered over while the other DDs climb up a snow path where they were and suddenly heard the digimon say,

"He did what!?" They were taken aback at the sudden yell.

"What're they talking about...?" Kimber said. Rico just shrugged and said,

"Beats the hell outta me." Her twin replied, continuing to climb up the snow path.

"Nina, are you alright?" Jennifer, or Jenny asked, leading a concerned run with the others behind her.

"She'd say 'yes' if she could talk." Bee answered for her while Nina looked somewhat guiltily to the ground.

"What do you mean 'if'? She was talking fine before we got separated!" Rico cried in worry. He wasn't paying attention enough to hear Black mutter someone's name under his breath. The Impmon who had been on Black's shoulder blasted a small pile of snow to release at least some of his anger.

"He somehow stole her voice while we were apart!"

"Who's Elrond?" Ronfar, who had been listening tentatively to everyone asked. He really had sharp ears...

"And how do you know all that if you were apart?" Wizardmon questioned. He looked at the group of four in front of him in the eye, just to see all four avoiding his glare.

Nina picked up a stick nearby, avoiding using her fingers to spell in the snow. She then bent down and spelled what she wanted to say in the snow-covered ground. It read,

'Should we start the explanations from the top, or just explain the fact about them knowing what I can't say?'

Before Rico could say anything, Tosh cut in.

"From the top, please." For someone who has experienced street fights, he doesn't forget his manners. Black leaned against a rock near the cliff and said,

"Truth one, we fibbed when we said that we've known Nina for over a year. The most amount of time we've all known her has been a week at max."

"Truth two, Nina's an orphan. Elrond's her deranged adopted father, and he's after her for god knows what reason." Bee continued, looking at Nina who was turning pale while she nodded slowly. The others looked at each other as if conversing without saying anything.

"Truth three, the reason we all know what she's thinking is because somehow we can hear each other's thoughts." Impy finished dryly and almost in a bored tone.

Nina just sighed heavily as Bee tried comforting her.

"Any problems with it?" Bee finished the explanation as he walked directly behind Nina. The others just nodded silently.

"So, let's get back on the search for Wolfmon." Beelzemon, who had been standing behind the Digidestines group said.

"We'll be in the back of the line." Bee said. That part was Nina's request.

"Well, if that don't beat all, a girl who claims she's not afraid of anything so long as she's with her friends wanting to take the rear? Now I've seen anything!" Rosemon chided as she got into talking range. Nina turned towards the rosy digimon angrily, not noticing the rouge Beelzemon rub his temple, feeling a headache coming.

"What did you say about Nina?" Black growled, almost threateningly.

"That she's acting like a coward, not facing her fears. She's taking the rear so she won't be stared at and so she won't be able to hear us commenting on her past." Rosemon continued. If the digimon had eyes, Nina would've seen a pair of giddy and happy eyes seeing her in a fit of rage.

Nina drew her sword, writing sharply on the ground,

'Take that back, thorny.'

"No." Was the almost immediate response from the soon-to-be- wilting rose.

"Nina, calm down." Bee grabbed the girl's arms just in time before she charges at the rose, the sword's tip pointing at Rosemon.

"Oh? The little human wants to try and fight me? And for a minute ago, she was avoiding any fights." Rosemon chided, moving closer to Nina.

"I think you need to make up your mind and stop running." Those were the last words she heard from Rosemon when she broke away from Bee's grip and nearly charging at Rosemon.

"What do you mean, she's running?" Impy asked as he hopped in front of Nina.

"If she's willing to fight me, then why is she running from this Elrond guy's challenge?" Rosemon said, giving the group some time to let the words sink in, turned around and said over her shoulder,

"You coming or what?" Nina just looked at the rose in complete shock.

Nina still stood there, not knowing how to react. They looked like they were conversing for a second when Beelzemon called out to them,

"We'd better hurry or there will be another snowstorm!" Then, Nina and her digimon followed up the snowy path, searching for Wolfmon.

I hope this is good because I changed one thing here;

I made Nina with an Impmon, Beelzemon and BlackWarGreymon and made the rouge Beelzemon a whole different mon.

And, as I said, it's a shabby chapter. When I read it over, I still see it as a shabby one.
