Hi Guys! I've been busy writing up the rest of this story, and now I've completed it. Since I haven't been getting many reviews for this, I've decided to give the final five chapters all at once. That way, it's done and you take your time. Enjoy! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------

Chapter 10- Friends and Enemies

The next day, was bright and clear, the sun was up, and the birds of the Digital World were singing their morning songs. When TK awoke, he was in a cold sweat and his eyes were wide and ghostly white.

"Devimon was here!" he blurted out. "I saw him. He's come back. Patamon! Where's Patamon?"

Matt, who was awoken by TK shouts, came over and put a comforting arm around his younger brother. He could feel TK shaking as held him reassuringly. Even though, they defeated Devimon long ago, the time Patamon was almost destroyed by him still haunted TK.

"It was only a dream," Matt told him gently. "We defeated him four years ago, remember? You just had a nightmare, bro. That's all."

"But Patamon!" TK persisted. "Where's Patamon?"

"Patamon has been sleeping beside you this whole time," explained Matt. "Look!"

TK glanced over to the right side of his bed, and there was Patamon sound asleep, just like Matt had said he was. TK was confused. Had it really all been just a dream? He tried to remember more of it, but he couldn't. It was strange that he had hardly any recollection of his dream at all; and it had all seemed so real. Was Devimon really going to come back?

Finally, TK calmed down long enough to get out of bed. He and Matt headed off to join the others, who were already up, for breakfast. After a good breakfast, the group decided it was time leave. Quickly packing up what belongings they had with them, they set off out of the old abandoned house and back out into the forest.

After awhile of hiking, it started to get really hot and muggy. The sun burned down on them, making them all more tired than they actually felt. The DigiDestined looked so exhausted, that Davis decided to call a halt. No one argued with him and his suggestion, as someone normally would have, and they all flopped gratefully onto the ground, leaning against trees and resting.

It was about midday, when the gang noticed something strange. It had all of a sudden gotten real dark, and extremely cold and frosty. What was going on? One minute it was like they were in the middle of a heat wave in the Sahara Dessert, and the next minute it was like they were just transported to the North Pole!

"What just happened?" It's freezing!" Sora cried. She looked at Kari, who shrugged.

"I'm sure I have no idea," replied Kari.

"How about we try and find the source of this?" Izzy suggested.

Tai nodded and spoke for them all. "I'm sure we all agree on that, Izzy," he said. "This is definitely not ordinary. Something's wrong!"

After making sure that everyone was in agreement, they set off to find the source of this sudden change in weather. Normally, it would come as no problem for something to be different in the Digital World, but not this. Something was up. As they journeyed on their search, it started to get even colder. So cold, that it actually started to snow!

"Oh, that's just great!" Yolei stamped her foot down in frustration. "Now we're going to get frost-bite!"

"It could be worse, Yolei," Hawkmon piped up. "We could be caught in a blizzard."

"Yeah, I suppose it could be worse," Yolei agreed. "But I'm still cold."

"Yolei, perhaps it would be better if we kept moving," Hawkmon said.

"Why?"

"Well, one reason is because the others are leaving without you."

Yolei glanced around. Then she saw them heading off, without her. She snorted with resignation.

"Well, thanks for waiting!" Yolei shouted angrily, and she and Hawkmon darted off to catch up.

So, the DigiDestined continued to search for the answer to the sudden change in weather. Every once in awhile, they had to stop. Sometimes it was rest, and other times, to break up another meaningless fight or argument. For the umpteenth time, TK and Davis were fighting again. The rest of the team sighed, stood by, and watched. They were getting tired of those too bickering over almost anything. It was a waste of valuable traveling time.

"Would you just watch what you're doing you almost ran into me!" Davis was saying. "No wonder Kari likes me better."

"How would you know?" TK shot back. "She sometimes doesn't even see you. You think you're so great just because Tai likes you and made you leader."

"Yeah, and I doing an excellent job at it, if I do say so myself. I'm better for this team and you know it. You're just jealous that Tai made me leader and not you. I've done great things for this team as its new leader."

"Sure. No wonder, you've been nicked named the 'Goggle-head'. It goes with your obnoxious personality. Now we've got work to do, let's go!"

"You can't order me around TP."

"It's TK."

"Whatever. And just what makes you so smart about this team?"

"I've been on it longer than you. Why do wear those goggles anyway? I'm sure we could easily do without them."

"I wear them 'cause Tai gave them to me for information. Or have you forgotten? And anyway, if we could do without anything, we could easily also do without you hat!"

TK snapped. He leaped at Davis, pinning him flat to the ground. Davis grabbed TK's arm and pulled. TK was caught completely by surprise and he rolled over by his opponent's tug with a cry of dismay. TK gritted his teeth together, as he lurched his body to the side, causing the both of them to start to roll in the dirt giving grunts of struggle. They stopped with Davis still on top of TK. Davis now had the advantage and he raised his fist to strike at TK's face. TK quickly raised his foot to block the blow. Still keeping a firm hold on him, Davis winced slightly and prepared to strike again.

Tai rushed forward and grabbed Davis's fist in mid-swing. Matt ran over to help out his friend. He grabbed TK in an arm lock to restrain him, and Tai did the same with Davis just in case. It was difficult to hold them back, but both boys were older and stronger than their younger teammates; that soon Davis and TK gave up trying to struggle out of Matt and Tai's grip.

"Now look," Tai said reasonably. "There's really no cause for fighting, so just knock it off. We don't have time for this useless fighting and bickering all the time."

"Especially, when the cause is as stupid as yours," Matt agreed.

TK and Davis looked at each other. Now that they thought about it, it did sound kind of stupid as to what they were fighting over. Davis and TK then just started to laugh. They smiled, clasped and shook hands. Matt and Tai were right. They should be focused on getting to the bottom this weather problem, instead of fighting.

Glad that the incident was settled, the DigiDestined commenced their search again.

It was around four-o-clock in the afternoon, when they started to make some progress. They arrived at the end of the forest and saw a range of mountains. Big, tall, pointy peaks of solid rock, snow, and ice.

"There's something very odd about that mountain in the middle," Izzy piped up after awhile of silence.

Kari looked at him plainly bewildered. "Which one?" she asked. "I don't see it."

Izzy pointed to the center of the range of mountains. "That one! The big one! Isn't it strange that only the middle one is surrounded by a blizzard and not the others."

Kari thought for a moment, looking at the mountain that Izzy had shown her. "Now that you mention it, it does sound odd. I wonder what's wrong."

Tai glanced at the mountain too. "Guys," he said, "I think we just found the problem. That's no ordinary blizzard you know. It's a controlled-made one!"

"You mean someone's controlling that blizzard?" inquired Cody.

Tai nodded. "Yep. Exactly."

Sora looked at Tai. "New enemy do you think?" she asked.

"Could be," Tai replied. He turned to the others. "What do you think you guys? Should we go and check it out?"

There was a hesitant pause. Then, Kari stepped bravely forward, a confident smile across her face.

"I'm with you, big brother. Let's go!" she said.

TK then followed her example and joined them. "I'm with you too. After all, if it is a new enemy, we'll have to face it sooner or later."

Everybody nodded in agreement with TK. He had made a good point. So, they set off for the mountains. Would they be heading into danger?
