Jake: Ok, so we just kidnapped these people to do one recap?
I_NUKEM: You have a problem with that?
Jake: Well what if they get the cops to come after us?
I_NUKEM: I've already thought of that. *holds up a plane ticket*. I'll be safely out of the country when that time comes.
Jess: What about us?
Jake: YEAH!!!
I_NUKEM: I didn't ask you to stow away in my luggage did I?
Jake: Well...
I_NUKEM: I didn't think so, now finish the recap before my plane starts boarding, or else I won't be here to buy you tickets.
Jess: I blame you Jake. *rolls eyes* With the aid of the newly evolved ultimate digimon, our heroes traveled even closer into the winter wonderland.
Jake: What? Why blame me? *is elbowed in the gut* oh uh.Jason and the others searched high and low for the entrance to the mountainous cavern, housing the evil snowmon.
Jess: Upon finding it, the digidestined fought numerous doors, and other icy barricades until they reached the inner sanctum. However, Yetimon was ready for them.
Jake: He and his followers laid waste to the good guys, and girls, leaving no means of defense.
I_NUKEM: Great job. Well here are your tickets, *hands them numerous tickets* I got them super cheap.
Jake: *looks at ticket* Yo Nukes, something's wrong with this one, it says we're flying to Hong Kong.
I_NUKEM: Right, then Moscow, Warsaw, Berlin, Madrid, and then New York with 5-minute layovers in each city. What's the problem?
Jess: Well, where are you going?
I_NUKEM: I've got a nonstop flight to LA then I'm flying to Denver.
Jake: What?????
Determined to Win
Yetimon's chuckling echoed throughout the sanctum. The digidestined were cornered, with their backs to the wall. It seemed like nothing would save them.
"It seems that nothing will save you now," Yetimon chuckled.
(A/N: Didn't I just say that?)
The Weregarurumon watched their leader from across the room. They did not want to get in the way of Yetimon's victory. He had made it clear that the victory was his alone.
Thus, they occupied themselves by tossing Cubmon around like a football, passing him again and again, warily watching their leader who was intent on savoring his victory.
__________________________________________________________________________
"Any bright ideas Johnson?" Sarah demanded.
"I have a few, but none of which will enable all of us to set foot out of here alive." Jason replied.
"You planning on trying to be the martyr again?" Savannah asked rolling her eyes.
"Er...yes. Have I used this plan too much?" Jason sweatdropped. The digidestined began nodding.
"Give up. You can't possibly hope to defeat me." Yetimon boasted.
Michael cracked a smile. "You can't possibly expect us to go along with that can you?"
"You are vanquished! There's no point in defying me any longer!" Yetimon gloated.
"You're preaching to the wrong choir!" Michael shouted. He grasped the hilt of the sword on his back. "You should've observed us more closely." He drew the golden blade. "If you had, you would've realized...THAT I NEVER GIVE UP!!!!" With a burst of energy, Michael raced forward, the sword reflecting the glow coming from the icy surroundings.
"MICHAEL!!! DON'T!!!" Medusa screamed, as she began racing after him. Jay and Jason grabbed her shoulders and pulled her back to safety.
"ARE YOU CRAZY MEDDIE?" Jay demanded. "You can't just go risk your life like that. I mean its ok if the Nerdy Brit's trying to get himself killed, but you should know better."
"This trial is for him alone," Jason said as he saw Michael raise his sword and thrust at Yetimon, who easily deflected the blow. Upon hearing that comment, the digidestined turned towards Jason, raising their eyebrows.
"Geeze, you're sounding more and more prophetic you know that?" Pixie rolled her eyes. "Its really starting to be annoying."
"If you guys won't remember the prophesies, then I'll have to...and since we're in a life threatening situation, I'm gonna say the abbreviated version." Jason sighed. "See Michael..." He pointed to Michael. "See Michael run...Run Michael Run... See Yetimon." He pointed to Yetimon. "Yetimon is the third carrier." He held up three fingers. "See Michael Attack Yetimon..." He pointed to Michael fighting.
"OK OK WE GET IT!!!!" Lauren shrieked. "We're not two year olds."
"So you're saying that by attacking Yetimon..." Savannah said. "...his prophesy will be fulfilled and..." She glanced towards the limp forms of Tentomon and Bladeramon sprawled into a heap. "...Something's gonna happen to the blue guy."
__________________________________________________________________________
Michael slashed with his sword, although it appeared to be no more than a dagger against the bulky mega digimon.
However, the mega barred his teeth, blocking the blow effortlessly with his shield.
"Pathetic," He spat.
Michael scowled, raised his sword, and lunged again. Yetimon countered by slamming his fist into the ground. The resulting force was enough to make the attacking teen lose his footing, fall to his back, but keep moving forward.
Michael began cursing as he slid under Yetimon's legs, and into the far wall. Each of the digidestined winced upon impact.
Michael rose to his feet, grimacing slightly.
"When will an insect like you realize that you have no chance to defeat me?" Yetimon scoffed. "Why don't you just accept your fate?"
Michael said nothing as he raised his sword again. He turned it so that the edge was pointed towards his hairy opponent. He shot forward, and rather than fighting to gain control of his footing, he merely shuffled his feet, sliding across the icy floor on his sneakers. Yetimon chuckled at the determination of the 15-year old. He formed a ball of ice in his hand and threw it at the teen. Michael narrowly avoided the missile by diving to the side, which caused him to slide into another wall. He stood once more. Unbeknownst to him, the blue rookie digimon began stirring from his place on the ground.
Yetimon stopped chuckling. "This is beginning to bore me," He said. He let Michael approach him, using the ice-skating method that he had used before. Then he placed his free hand on the icy floor. Using his power to manipulate ice, he covered Michael's path with an additional layer of ice, effectively entrapping everything on the surface, even the feet of the attacking human.
"Time to end this," Yetimon growled. He formed a large mace in his free hand. Raising his icy weapon, he swung downward.
A purple light narrowly deflected the weapon, causing it to strike the ice right next to the teen, freeing his feet, but the shockwave knocked the young man to a crouching position. Both Yetimon and Michael turned towards the source of the purple light. There, on the ice, stood Bladeramon, standing rather uneasily with his knife drawn. His black sunglasses sported numerous cracks. He was breathing rather heavily.
"You shall not prevail," Bladeramon rasped between breaths.
"A rookie stands against one of the most powerful megas?" Yetimon burst out laughing.
"You shall not prevail," Bladeramon repeated.
"You're pathetic," Yetimon raised his weapon once more.
"Nope, he's just like me, stubborn. We won't be defeated by the likes of you, and we'll be sure to prove it to you," Michael said smiling slightly. The red visor that shielded his eyes began glowing. First the light shot towards his eyes from the top to the bottom, then from side to side.
*Scan approved*
Then a red beam of light erupted from the visor and struck the icy floor below the blue rookie.
"Bladeramon Time Warp Digivolve to..." The knife-wielding rookie stated. He began glowing red. First he grew to the size of a fully grown human, twirling a large staff. He grew in girth as he reached his next level. His shiny armor was virtually indistinguishable due to the light. The major difference lay in the form of the large broad sword that he held in his right hand. Finally his muscles began bulging once more, straining against his metal suddenly the metal along his thighs shattered, as did the armor covering his arms covering the majority of his arms. Soon all the only remaining metal on his body could be found on the torso, a sliver extending up his neck, the back of his head, his forehead, the palms of his hands to just past the wrists, and his shins. He took the blade of his sword in his left hand and began straining. Soon enough, the material making up his sword gave way, adding more shards to the area around him. Soon, the metal fragments converged on the digimon's waistline with a glow. "Wardaggermon!" He shouted. The glowing ceased to reveal a large blue digimon, with a belt comprised of a multitude of daggers. He crossed his arms.
"Is this supposed to frighten me?" Yetimon demanded. "Your friend was a mega, but he was defeated by my strike force." With that his shield dissolved. He snapped his fingers and the four Weregarurumon came to attention, dropping Cubmon, their makeshift football.
"Kill him," He said pointing towards the newly evolved mega. "He's just a warrior, he doesn't have tolerance for the cold; you'll still have an advantage."
The wolves barred their teeth and lunged for Wardaggermon. He stood rock solid, allowing their first blows to connect, though when they came, he didn't even flinch.
"And Grizzmon got beat by you four? Those body slams through solid ice must've taken a lot out of him," Wardaggermon shook his head. "Either that or he was weakened after Yetimon tossed him...Or he could just be a weakling." He grinned as he grabbed two of the unexpecting werewolves by their legs and slammed them into each other. He then threw them into the other two digimon.
"Payback's a bitch ain't it?" He demanded. "RAPIER TRANSMUTE" The knives shot from his belt towards the four ultimate-level digimon. As soon as the points struck their targets, the knives grew, and instead of being stabbed by rapiers, the Weregarurumon found themselves impaled upon full-length swords. Due to the searing pain, they could do nothing except scatter their data throughout the icy fortress.
Wardaggermon cracked his neck, and then miraculously cracked his fingers underneath the metal coverings. "You're next," he said addressing Yetimon. The mega merely grinned. "If you think that you'll be beating me, you're sadly mistaken."
"I don't think I'll beat you," Wardaggermon said rather calmly. "I KNOW I will."
Yetimon let out a roar of laughter as he walked towards his opponent. Then, still smiling he leapt into the air, his target was obvious as he swung his mace with both hands. "ICE MACE" He yelled.
Wardaggermon watched his opponent's trajectory carefully, and he brought his left arm up to block. The impact of ice on metal let off a crunch as the spiked head of the mace broke free of its handle and clattered to the ground five feet away. The armor on the blue mega's arm was slightly dented, but no other damage could be seen. Unfazed, Yetimon continued his attack by kicking Wardaggermon's armored torso, causing him to skid back a few yards.
Yetimon looked at the icy handle and grimaced. He glared at Wardaggermon, who met his gaze. As the two megas sought to stare each other down, Yetimon began adding to the handle, first forming two icy chains, followed by a large spiked ball attached to each. He raced towards his opponent twirling his newly formed morning star. Wardaggermon raced forward to meet his opponent. As the two digimon met, Yetimon succeeded in wrapping a chain around the digimon of determination's left arm, as well as his neck. Yetimon chuckled. "At last, you are vanquished." He was surprised to hear his entrapped opponent chuckling as well.
Wardaggermon placed his free hand on Yetimon's hairy chest. "I've still got a few tricks up my sleeves. Or rather in my hands." He smiled. "RAIN OF POWER"
A ball of energy formed in the palm of his hand, but because his palm was against Yetimon's chest the energy had nowhere to go, thus, it blasted the icy mega across the room. He collided with his fortress's major support.
Effortlessly breaking the icy chain, Wardaggermon pressed his advantage. He formed another sphere of concentrated energy in his left hand, and threw it at Yetimon, and then another came from his right. Soon it was, pardon the phrase, raining energy spheres. Yetimon propped himself up against the support through each and every collision, scowling as yet another attack struck his face. He spat out a bloody tooth and snarled. He considered forming a barricade of ice, but the idea was swept off of his mind as he saw Wardaggermon standing in front of him, tossing a final ball of energy into the air and catching it over and over again before throwing it. The ball soared towards the evil carrier, who braced himself for the impact. But it never came. Instead Wardaggermon had been aiming for the large icy pillar and when it struck, it effectively shattered it. Yetimon's eyes went wide.
"YOU IDIOT! THIS COLUMN WAS THE ONLY THING KEEPING THIS FORTRESS STANDING! WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE TIME RUNS OUT!" Yetimon exclaimed.
A rumbling surrounded them. "That was the idea. But I'm afraid your time has already run out!" Wardaggermon shouted. "Rapier Transmute"
The daggers from his belt flew towards the mega digimon. Yetimon suffered the same fate as the Weregarurumon, agonizing pain caused him to scream out, shaking the cavern even more than it was now. And then he evaporated.
Realizing that they were victorious, the digidestined cheered for joy as they gathered their partners. It wasn't until chunks of the ceiling began falling that they realized the length of time that Yetimon spoke of.
Wardaggermon gathered his partner, Medusa and her partner and led the way to freedom. Jason stood at the entrance to the hall, pushing everyone he could past him; Sarah and Lauren were the first out. When Pixie approached him, she gave him a look that told him that she wouldn't leave without him. So he forgot his role as leader, took her arm and raced out of the room. Jay and Savannah brought up the rear, several meters back from everyone else.
__________________________________________________________________________
The collapsing tunnel made it hard to navigate, Wardaggermon cleared the way as best he could, but the rumbling was getting more violent. When they reached the mouth of the cave, they could all see snow rapidly flowing past it. Wardaggermon held his passengers tighter as he jumped out into the snow.
"EVERYONE OUT!" Jason yelled, pushing Sarah and Lauren to get swept into the snow. He grabbed Pixie's arm and jumped through the opening. Jay and Savannah were about to follow them...until the ceiling caved in.
__________________________________________________________________________
On the snow-covered mountainside, all was silent, and all was white. The snow had fallen so evenly that you would have never guessed that there had been anything other than a mountain of snow. That was until a gray glove pushed up out of the snow by the base of the mountain. An arm followed the glove, and then a head rose from the depths. Then a second head rose from the snowbank directly under the first.
*Cough*
"What a rush! LETS GO AGAIN!" Jason Johnson said smiling. Cubmon was still out of it, as he rode on the gogglenecked teen's head. Jason raised his other hand up, pulling his other traveling companions to the surface. Pixie coughed as well. Her other arm was wrapped around her pink partner.
"You've got to be kidding," she murmured.
"Ok, who's still alive here?" Jason called out, his voice echoing in the quiet snowy wasteland.
The snow to the right of them began rustling; the snow fell to the side, revealing a gray coat with a blue symbol on the back. Lauren pushed herself up while cradling her limp feline partner. "I'm here!" She said.
Two sets of gloves, one with red backing, the other with burgundy, burst through the snow. The reds were grasping a small blue creature, whereas the burgundy were holding a small creature with long ears.
They released their limp cargo above the snow, and then clambered up after them. "Michael, the guy who just saved everyone is still alive and kicking." The red clad boy smiled.
His companion merely sweatdropped. "I'm here too, in case you were wondering." Meddie stated.
"I'm alive too," Himon squeeked.
The final beings to rise were the girl clad in purple and her partner. "Nekomon and Sarah reporting for duty," the small digimon stated.
Sarah looked around for more signs of movement. "Where's Jay?" She demanded.
"Maybe he and Savannah are just a bit deeper," Lauren supplied.
Jason looked around. "They would have surfaced before us," He stated. "They were right behind us..."
"You don't think they got trapped inside the cavern, do you?" Medusa asked.
"Only one way to find out," Michael stated. "MAP," he said. The visor that was still attached to the side of his head began displaying a holographic map of the area. Sure enough, the green and orange dots were further up the mountain, and as far as he could tell, inside it."
"JJ, we may have a problem," Michael said. "I don't think that they got out."

I_NUKEM: OOH the dramatic tension, I love it...especially when it comes right after I put someone's life in danger.
Coyomon: Like you do in each and every chapter?
I_NUKEM: ...uh...YES! ^_^
Coyomon: *sweatdrops*
I_NUKEM: Well, what do you think happened to Jay and Savannah?
Coyomon: Well, I'm sure they're inside, digging their way out. They realize the sheer incompetence of all of the conscious digidestined that escaped.
I_NUKEM: WHY YOU LITTLE! *begins choking Coyomon*
Coyomon: *makes gagging noises*
I_NUKEM: *smiling* Please excuse the tardiness, as well as the brevity of this installment.
Coyomon: *between gags* Not to mention the lateness and shortness of the chapter.
I_NUKEM: *glares at the coyote* I think it gets the job done, though I know I could've probably done a better rendition. Anyway review or I'll make sure your character has no speaking parts in the next chapter.
Coyomon: WOW FINALLY A THREAT HE MIGHT ENFORCE!
I_NUKEM: You have a problem with that?
Jake: Well what if they get the cops to come after us?
I_NUKEM: I've already thought of that. *holds up a plane ticket*. I'll be safely out of the country when that time comes.
Jess: What about us?
Jake: YEAH!!!
I_NUKEM: I didn't ask you to stow away in my luggage did I?
Jake: Well...
I_NUKEM: I didn't think so, now finish the recap before my plane starts boarding, or else I won't be here to buy you tickets.
Jess: I blame you Jake. *rolls eyes* With the aid of the newly evolved ultimate digimon, our heroes traveled even closer into the winter wonderland.
Jake: What? Why blame me? *is elbowed in the gut* oh uh.Jason and the others searched high and low for the entrance to the mountainous cavern, housing the evil snowmon.
Jess: Upon finding it, the digidestined fought numerous doors, and other icy barricades until they reached the inner sanctum. However, Yetimon was ready for them.
Jake: He and his followers laid waste to the good guys, and girls, leaving no means of defense.
I_NUKEM: Great job. Well here are your tickets, *hands them numerous tickets* I got them super cheap.
Jake: *looks at ticket* Yo Nukes, something's wrong with this one, it says we're flying to Hong Kong.
I_NUKEM: Right, then Moscow, Warsaw, Berlin, Madrid, and then New York with 5-minute layovers in each city. What's the problem?
Jess: Well, where are you going?
I_NUKEM: I've got a nonstop flight to LA then I'm flying to Denver.

*Scan approved*
Then a red beam of light erupted from the visor and struck the icy floor below the blue rookie.
"Bladeramon Time Warp Digivolve to..." The knife-wielding rookie stated. He began glowing red. First he grew to the size of a fully grown human, twirling a large staff. He grew in girth as he reached his next level. His shiny armor was virtually indistinguishable due to the light. The major difference lay in the form of the large broad sword that he held in his right hand. Finally his muscles began bulging once more, straining against his metal suddenly the metal along his thighs shattered, as did the armor covering his arms covering the majority of his arms. Soon all the only remaining metal on his body could be found on the torso, a sliver extending up his neck, the back of his head, his forehead, the palms of his hands to just past the wrists, and his shins. He took the blade of his sword in his left hand and began straining. Soon enough, the material making up his sword gave way, adding more shards to the area around him.

"Is this supposed to frighten me?" Yetimon demanded. "Your friend was a mega, but he was defeated by my strike force." With that his shield dissolved. He snapped his fingers and the four Weregarurumon came to attention, dropping Cubmon, their makeshift football.
"Kill him," He said pointing towards the newly evolved mega. "He's just a warrior, he doesn't have tolerance for the cold; you'll still have an advantage."
The wolves barred their teeth and lunged for Wardaggermon. He stood rock solid, allowing their first blows to connect, though when they came, he didn't even flinch.
"And Grizzmon got beat by you four? Those body slams through solid ice must've taken a lot out of him," Wardaggermon shook his head. "Either that or he was weakened after Yetimon tossed him...Or he could just be a weakling." He grinned as he grabbed two of the unexpecting werewolves by their legs and slammed them into each other.

"Payback's a bitch ain't it?" He demanded. "RAPIER TRANSMUTE" The knives shot from his belt towards the four ultimate-level digimon. As soon as the points struck their targets, the knives grew, and instead of being stabbed by rapiers, the Weregarurumon found themselves impaled upon full-length swords. Due to the searing pain, they could do nothing except scatter their data throughout the icy fortress.

He raced towards his opponent twirling his newly formed morning star. Wardaggermon raced forward to meet his opponent. As the two digimon met, Yetimon succeeded in wrapping a chain around the digimon of determination's left arm, as well as his neck. Yetimon chuckled. "At last, you are vanquished."

"What a rush! LETS GO AGAIN!" Jason Johnson said smiling. Cubmon was still out of it, as he rode on the gogglenecked teen's head. Jason raised his other hand up, pulling his other traveling companions to the surface. Pixie coughed as well. Her other arm was wrapped around her pink partner.
"You've got to be kidding," she murmured.
"Ok, who's still alive here?" Jason called out, his voice echoing in the quiet snowy wasteland.
The snow to the right of them began rustling; the snow fell to the side, revealing a gray coat with a blue symbol on the back. Lauren pushed herself up while cradling her limp feline partner. "I'm here!" She said.
Two sets of gloves, one with red backing, the other with burgundy, burst through the snow. The reds were grasping a small blue creature, whereas the burgundy were holding a small creature with long ears.
They released their limp cargo above the snow, and then clambered up after them. "Michael, the guy who just saved everyone is still alive and kicking." The red clad boy smiled.
His companion merely sweatdropped. "I'm here too, in case you were wondering." Meddie stated.
"I'm alive too," Himon squeeked.
The final beings to rise were the girl clad in purple and her partner. "Nekomon and Sarah reporting for duty," the small digimon stated.
Sarah looked around for more signs of movement. "Where's Jay?" She demanded.
"Maybe he and Savannah are just a bit deeper," Lauren supplied.
Jason looked around. "They would have surfaced before us," He stated. "They were right behind us..."
"You don't think they got trapped inside the cavern, do you?" Medusa asked.
"Only one way to find out," Michael stated. "MAP," he said. The visor that was still attached to the side of his head began displaying a holographic map of the area. Sure enough, the green and orange dots were further up the mountain, and as far as he could tell, inside it."
"JJ, we may have a problem," Michael said. "I don't think that they got out."

I_NUKEM: OOH the dramatic tension, I love it...especially when it comes right after I put someone's life in danger.
Coyomon: Like you do in each and every chapter?
I_NUKEM: ...uh...YES! ^_^
Coyomon: *sweatdrops*
I_NUKEM: Well, what do you think happened to Jay and Savannah?
Coyomon: Well, I'm sure they're inside, digging their way out. They realize the sheer incompetence of all of the conscious digidestined that escaped.
I_NUKEM: WHY YOU LITTLE! *begins choking Coyomon*
Coyomon: *makes gagging noises*
I_NUKEM: *smiling* Please excuse the tardiness, as well as the brevity of this installment.
Coyomon: *between gags* Not to mention the lateness and shortness of the chapter.
I_NUKEM: *glares at the coyote* I think it gets the job done, though I know I could've probably done a better rendition. Anyway review or I'll make sure your character has no speaking parts in the next chapter.
Coyomon: WOW FINALLY A THREAT HE MIGHT ENFORCE!
