Shadow-Assassin: OK WHERE IS IT! I WANT MY WALLET BACK!

Jayjmon: Stop yelling! Sheesh! It was probably Malo Davimon.

Chapter 14: Heart In The Ice
Ianumon
We'd been walking for nearly half a day already and we were all exhausted. We'd gotten up this morning and headed off right after breakfast. We did, however, have trouble getting Jayjmon up as usual. For a thief he sure was a deep sleeper.
We'd been going farther and farther into the winter lands and the cold wasn't helping us one bit. We where tired and frozen.
"Ok everyone. Time for a break. Lets rest here for a bit." I said smiling to the others. They smiled in relief. All except for Kimamon.
"We should keep goin. If we stop now we'll surely freeze." She said looking to me for approval.
"Hmm... Maybe Kima's right. The sooner we get out of these frosty mountains the better." I said looking over the exhausted group.
"Oh man. If I go any further I swear I'll collapse." Jayjmon complained.
"They are right though Jayj. If we stay here we might not make it to the other side." Jessamon said as she got up and stood by me and Kimamon.
"I guess your right." Saramon said as she picked herself up off the ground.
Mattamon got up as well and smiled indicating he wanted to leave as well.
"That is so not fair. Five to one." Jayjmon said.
"Quite your bellyaching and move it before you become a digicicle." Kimamon said shaking her head at Jayjmon.
Jayjmon sighed and got up to follow us.
"Tha's more like it." Kimamon said.
We walked on through the freezing wasteland. We where tired and hungry and cold but we all knew we couldn't let up now.
Everything was silent until Jessamon asked "Ianu, why do you take us to such dangerous places anyway?"
"I don't really know Jessa. I jut kind of... Follow my instincts." I replied thinking about it for the first time.
She looked at me stunned, "You mean we're here because of an instinct? We may die because of an instinct? I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!" She shouted as her eyes seemed to turn a bright red for a second.
I backed up from her, and so did the others. She took a deep breath and smiled at me.
"I'm sorry Ianu. I just got a bit angry. I hate it when I don't know exactly what I'm doing. It... Frightens me," She said looking to the ground sadly, "Please forgive me."
"Of course we forgive you. Right everyone?" I said looking at the others as they all nodded in agreement, "See. We forgive you. It's Ok."
She smiled sweetly, "Thank you. You are all so very nice." Then she kissed me on the cheek.
"Th... Thanks." I said feeling my face go hot.
I saw Jayjmon snicker and gave him a dirty look. He quickly stopped laughing and walked on.
We walked for about another hour before we felt the ground rumble underneath us.
"Ah! WHAT?!" Jessamon yelled out.
"EARTHQUAKE!" Jayjmon shouted.
"EVERYONE STICK TOGETHER!" I hollered and we all linked paws to withstand the terrible shaking.
Suddenly the ground underneath us shot up and we all went flying as a giant creature crashed through the very earth.
"GGUURRAARR!" It roared as it burst through the earth's crust.
I all but blanked out as I hit the ground hard and sunk several feet into the snow.
Mattamon
The attack caught us all off guard. We all went flying into the air as the large, menacing creature plowed his way through the very earth we where standing on.
As I looked around from my landing place in a flat rock I saw that we'd all been separated in different areas around the creature.
I looked at the large creature. It was white with light blue armor on it's back and face. 'Polarmon' I thought to myself. The Polarbear digimon with the ferocious attack called Icy Glare. One look from his cold eyes would turn any digimon to Pure Ice.
I watched unable to move as he walked up to Jessamon making the earth tremble under his weight.
He looked her over angrily, "You've trespassed on my territory and you will now pay!"
"B... But... But we didn't mean to!" Jessamon cried frightened.
"ICY GLARE!" He roared, ignoring her, as icy blue beams shot forth from his eyes straight at Jessamon.
I gasped in horror, unable to help my new friend.
"NO!" Came a voice as a figure stepped in front of the attack and was quickly turned into an Ice Sculpture.
The bear laughed, "Silly fool got in the way. Oh well. You would have all followed anyway."
I blinked once in shock and then realized who it had been who'd gotten in the way of the attack.
I looked at the clear shinning statue of ice and a tear ran down my face.
"NO!" Jessamon shouted along with the others.
Kimamon
I felt a tear roll down my face as I looked on. I began to tremble biting my lip and trying not to cry out.
The statue of Ianumon stood in front of Jessamon protectively. He'd was always thinking of others before himself. He'd put himself in danger to save someone he cared about, but at the price of his own life.
The bear digimon looked around for his next victim. We where all in shock and couldn't move to save ourselves. He slowly walked up to Saramon grinning at her.
"AH!" She shouted ducking down low to the ground.
"BLIZZARD BEAM!" Came a voice suddenly. The bear screeched as icicles and snow blew around him and into his eyes.
"GET LOST YOU OVERGROWN TEDDY BEAR!" Shouted the mysterious voice.
I looked around and then noticed the figure a ways off nearly hidden in the snow storm.
The bear growled and snarled at the lone figure but he was unable to see well enough to attack and ran away with his tail between his legs.
The figure walked up to Saramon and helped her to her feet, "Are you Ok?" The figure asked in a gentle female voice.
"Y... Yes... thank you so very much." Saramon replied.
The figure looked over at our frozen comrade, "Let me see... I think I can fix this." She said as she walked over and walked around the icy figure.
"Can you really help our friend?!" Jayjmon asked frantically.
"Yes... I can..." She said as she placed a paw on the statue, "Please come closer... All of you. I will need your help for this."
We obeyed and walked over to the strange digimon. She was a light blue with light blond haired tied up in a pony tail. She had no toes and no markings what so ever. Which seemed fit for this frozen wasteland.
She began to glow brightly and I felt a sort of tug inside myself. It was as if my heart where being pulled out of me, though it did not hurt. It felt calming and gentle like snow falling on a warm winters day.
The strange digimon seemed to suck up our energy into the paw that had been placed on the statue. A light formed over her paw and seemed to move on to the statue of Ianumon.
We all closed our eyes at the blinding light.
"Huh?! What happened!" Came a familiar voice.
I opened my eyes to see Ianumon blinking in confusion and looking at the light blue digimon who'd saved him.
"Who are you?" He asked.
"I am Jackiemon. The snow digimon. My attack Blizzard Beam is nothing to sneer at." She smiled.
"I guess I owe you my life." Ianumon smiled.
"Just doing my duty," She replied as she nodded to all of us, "I must go now. Farewell."
"Wait! Please don't leave! You don't know our names!" Ianumon shouted.
"We haven't had a chance to properly thank you yet either!!" Jessamon added.
"Follow me." She smiled as she walked away. We quickly followed behind her.
Soon we came to what looked like a small handmade mountain of ice. It had a whole at the base and seemed to be hollow.
"Welcome to my home." Jackiemon said as she slipped through the small hole.
"What is this place?" Jayjmon asked coming through the hole.
"This is my Igloo. It's where I live." She stated.
"You live in this place all the time?" I asked feeling the cold ground beneath my feet.
"Yes. As a snow digimon the cold does not bother me." She said as she began to make a small fire in the center of the Igloo.
We all smiled at the wonderful heat that the fire gave off.
"I'd almost forgotten wha warmth felt like." I said as I pushed up closer to the fire.
Saramon
These frozen mountains had almost made me regret coming with Kimamon and her friends. I hated the cold more then anything, but now we where warm by the fire Jackiemon had made. She'd saved my life and Ianumon had saved Jessamon's life. I'd never though that anyone would do something so... brave. I'd grown up thinking everyone was cruel and evil, but my new found friends made me realize that I was only seeing half of the world.
"Thanks for saving me Jackiemon." I smiled to her.
"I heard that there was a group of digimon on a quest to stop the virus digimon. I've been waiting for you to come. I knew you would come here." She said as she placed a stick, with a large fish on the end of it, in the ground in front of the fire.
"You've been waiting for us?" Ianumon said, "But why?"
"I wish to join you on your journeys. I want to help defeat the evil that plagues this world." She said looking serious.
Ianumon smiled and the rest of us followed suit, "Welcome to the team Jackiemon."
We'd made a new ally and a new friend.
