Disclaimer: Okay, question, who honestly believes a 14 year old, would own digimon? Hmm? Nope, I don't own the show; if I did I wouldn't be writing fanfics.

Chapter Twelve: The Plot Begins FINALLY! (GG: I got way to side tracked…)

"I think my food just moved."

"I don't feel good."

"The eggs ate my fork!"

"This toast is as hard as cement."

"I've been poisoned!"

Kouji shook his head slightly as he watched the children in front of him. You see the children had forced Takuya to cook breakfast. Now Kouji knew Takuya well enough by now, and after their experience at the Burgermon Village, Kouji knew well enough that neither he nor Takuya could cook. Cat also knew this seeing as she was the Frontier Fanatic of the group, so she wasn't touching the food. The two children watched as Tony, Kira, Hex and Tails complained and poked at the food. Tails was dissecting it while Hex stabbed a piece of toast with his fork err well, attempted to stab. Tony was turning green as she rushed to the bathroom. Kira was currently staring at her eggs slightly disturbed seeing how her fork had vanished into it poking it nervously with a knife.

"Hey I told you all I couldn't cook! Stop complaining," Takuya glared at everyone crossing his arms with a 'huff'. Cat rolled her eyes as Tony came back glaring at Takuya.

"Man Takky take cooking lessons!"

"It was your idea to make me cook! I told you I couldn't but nnnooo you still made me!" There was a glaring match between the children as everyone sweat-dropped. The morning continued as such. Kira and Cat were cheering Tails on currently while the young girl tried to hack into Toei system… Why you might ask? To make them have another season, plus the fact that the two cousins wouldn't leave her alone until she did. Hex was, you guessed it, sorting through his 'Magic' cards trying to get the Loner to play another match but, after getting his butt kicked fifty times, Kouji didn't really want to play. Yea he seriously didn't want to get his butt kicked again. The morning continued as thus as the children goofed around and Tony and Takuya continued to glare at each other. Tails eventually managed to hack into Toei's system and, tried her best to work it so that they would make a new season of digimon, however she knew very well that it wouldn't work. But hey, Kira and Cat wouldn't leave her alone until she tried so she had no choice! Kouji sighed watching everyone as he and Hex watched TV. The young Loner sighed wondering seriously whether he and Hex were the only two sane people in the room. Then again, after last night… He doubted ANY of them were sane. And so as if on cue Alex floated down into the room and began to bug the Loner. Now I'm sure you might ask 'how can a ghost bother Kouji?' Oh it's quite easy. For you see, Alex was a master of annoying people. And so the morning continued with Alex singing annoying songs, saying the stupidest things and just about anything else to annoy the Loner. Oh yes, this also caused Kouji to throw multiple things through the ghost and that resulted in Tony yelling at them both. Yea, it was a normal morning at Tony's house.

Around noon the group decided to depart. Now, since none of them had a decent breakfast thanks to Takuya, they stopped at a 7 eleven. Walking inside the group purchased food and drinks. Takuya, Kira and Cat got large slurpies, Kouji knew this would lead to no good. Hex and Kouji got bagels while Tails purchased a muffin, then a cupcake and then she created the mufcake! Okay, actually this authoress's friend created the mufcake, but in the fic Tails did! This kind of disturbed the children a bit, and here we all thought Tails would be the sane one. We lost another one to the dark side…. So, the group goofed around at the 7 eleven that is, until the owner yelled at them a kicked them out. Yea, three hyperactive kids, one child ranting about mufcakes and other creations, an irritated Loner and Hex who complained about the bagels being stale. That really doesn't lead to any good. So after being mortified and kicked out, the group set out to their actual destination.

It was around one pm now as the group finally reached their destination. Tails's house! Now why Tails's house? Quite simple, Cat's older brother was having the football guys over for the night, which meant Kira and Cat, were running to Tails's house for sanctuary. Hex was just hanging out at her house for the day seeing as his house was getting cleaned. Yea, he was avoiding the evil known as cleaning duties! And then, Takuya and Kouji just get dragged around. Poor guys. So yea, the group stopped outside Tails's apartment as the young girl yawned opening the door. Yea, they were all still pretty tiered, with the exception of the three who had slurpies. Takky, Cat and Kira were wide-awake! Kouji nearly collapsed a few times and Hex continuously yawned. There were mutters and stifled yawns as the group walked into the house pulling off their shoes. Tails's mom seemed to be out, and her older brother was at Cat's house. Takuya looked around silently as the other children walked inside to the corner. Tails's house/apartment was small, a loft upstairs. However, it was cozy, and one could really feel at home.

"Aw it's so kawaii!"

"Speak English Kira!"

"I said 'Aw it's so cute'! Sheesh I'm aloud to speak a foreign language you know!"

"Well speak a language we can understand!" There was an argument/discussion as the children crowded around a small cage, Tails holding a fluffy cinnamon colored ball. Now, Takuya and Kouji were too busy looking around to notice, and the four children had forgotten one thing. One important thing.

"Okay guys, stand back, she jumps really high." Tails warned which caused Takuya and Kouji to look towards them. Kouji gulped slightly staring at the bunny Tails was setting down. Now, you all remember the game of truth or dare the children had at Tomato Patch? Remember Kouji's worst fear? If you've forgotten, then here's the answer. The great Legendary Warrior of Light's greatest fear is… BUNNIES! Don't ask why; let's just say there was a freak accident in kindergarten. Takuya blinked looking at Kouji a bit confused while the Loner hid behind his friend, almost using Takuya as a human shield. It took a moment or two before Takuya recalled how his friend was afraid of bunnies. This also caused Takuya to make a mental note for later. Yea, he was going to get revenge. He wasn't sure what he needed revenge for but, eh… Blackmail was sweet. Kouji gulped watching as the bunny hopped around the room before towards them. Takuya stifled his laughter hearing Kouji give a small whimper of fear as he gripped Takuya's shoulders. It was at this moment the four oblivious children remembered that Kouji was afraid of bunnies. So, of course, they pulled out cameras and video recorders from nowhere. Man, by the time the guys return to there world, these children are gonna be millionaires thanks to ebay. Kouji sweated slightly as the bunny hoped towards them. It looked up at the pale Loner its cute little nose twitching cutely as it moved closer to Kouji. Kouji backed up slightly still using Takuya for a human shield while the Goggle-Head sweat-dropped. Everyone watched silently as Kouji backed up into the wall staring down at the little rabbit. It hoped over to him gently sniffing his foot. Takuya had his bite his tongue hard to keep from laughing. It was so funny just watching his friend freak out like this, over a small cute bunny. Honestly! Who was afraid of a bunny? Takuya had to figure that out later. Kira readied her camera silently waiting as the bunny hopped onto Kouji's foot sitting there. And Kouji could no longer stay calm.

-

Tony blinked looking up from her cheeseburger. Tanya stood next to her, in her waitress uniform also looking up. Tony was having lunch currently at Tanya's parents' cafe. Tony was the café's best costumer. Tanya sighed cleaning a cup as Tony sipped her coke.

"Sounds like Kouji met Tails's bunny," Tony stated as Tanya nodded sighing slightly.

"That guys got lungs…" The crazy blonde stated. Tony nodded in agreement. There was silence for a moment or two before Tanya added on. "They better have taped it…"

"Yea, they better have… Can I have a refill?"

"Yep sure! Another Coke, coming up!" Tanya smiled bouncing off to refill Tony's drink as the other girl chewed her food.

-

"Kouji I'm really, really, really sorry! I forgot!" Tails apologized though at the same time stifled her laughter. Kouji was ridged as the orange haired girl set her rabbit back in the cage. Kira and Cat were laughing like heck while Hex replayed the scene on his video camera. How he obtained one will remain a mystery. Takuya couldn't hold his tongue any longer as he laughed hysterically, though also cringed in pain. You see Kouji still was using Takuya as a human shield, and currently the Loner's nails were cutting into his shoulders. It had been such a funny scene though. After all, who thought Kouji Minamoto could scream like a girl! Kira recovered though was still giggling as she helped pry Kouji's fingers off of Takuya.

"Now that was funny!" Hex stated grinning while Kira waved a hand in front of Kouji's face. Kouji snapped out of it blinking slightly before shooting Tails's rabbit a death glare. Hex and Cat immediately hid their cameras both stifling giggles as they all sat down. Takuya rubbed his sore shoulders plopping down on the couch.

"Sheesh Kouji, your nails are sharp!" He whined as Kouji rubbed the back of his neck a bit sheepishly.

"Sorry…" Was all the Lone Wolf said as he looked at the ground. The children continued to stifle their laughter as Tails cleared her throat.

"Well, why don't we play a little play station?" Takuya grinned nodding enthusiastically as Hex and Cat grinned as well. Kouji remained emotionless, er, well embarrassed while Kira stared at a shiny object that happened to be close by. And so the remainder of the time at Tails's house was spent playing video games. Takuya was glomped to death by Cat after the Goggle-Head beat Riku for her in Kingdom Hearts. She had been working on it forever, and that cut scene before it was REALLY annoying after like 50 times. Hex and Takuya had multiple rematches in Soul Caliber Two while Tails played Sonic. Meanwhile, Kira and Kouji took naps (Kira's sugar high wore off). It was an enjoyable time period and once 2:00 pm came the stomachs of each child were growling. Tails sighed looking up from the game frowning seeing that everyone was hungry.

"Well, seeing as we're all hungry, I can't cook, Hex is too lazy to cook, Cat and Kira are banned from all stoves for life, Takky gives us food poisoning and I do not trust Kouji's cooking abilities. Let's go out to eat!" After some discussion the group decided to go to Tanya's parents café. Kouji sighed, as long as there were no evil bunnies he was okay with anything. Takuya shrugged not actually caring as the children walked outside. Cat and Hex bickered about something while Kira rooted them on. Tails sighed playing peacekeeper while Kouji and Takuya yawned. The walk was uneventful, however Takuya noticed that Kouji kept looking around his hand in his pocket, where his D-Scan was located. Takuya frowned remembering similar actions as he walked next to Kouji the four children walking ahead of him goofing around.

"Something wrong Kouji?" The Goggle-Head asked glancing at Kouji as he sighed slightly.

"Not sure, I just have a bad feeling, like at the AnimeCon…"

"Oh great, well, let's hope nothing bad happens… And if it does, and a digimon appears, then will spirit evolve and kick its butt!" Kouji shook his head at his friends' enthusiasm. Takuya just looked at Kouji grinning slightly as he looked ahead again. Kouji sighed again looking at the sky for the moment or two as the group began to walk through a park. Something was coming that's all Kouji knew. And most likely, it wasn't something good.

"Okay, do you get it now Cat?" Hex asked Cat who, currently had swirly eyes. Hex had tried to explain how to get a drop down music list on your xanga and, since Cat was kind of dense. It only confused her more then before. Tails sighed sweat dropping with Kira as they walked. Takuya moved a hand to hold his D-Scan. If Kouji's feeling was right he was sure the two of them would have to spirit evolve quickly. That was also a bad thing seeing as the two were sleep deprived. Well, Takuya was, Kouji got a nap at Tails's, even though it wasn't a good one (the others kept waking him up). Takuya only prayed his friend was wrong but, after the AnimeCon, Takuya had a feeling he was right. Kouji looked around silently before stopping dead in his tracks. This of course caused Takuya to stop turning to look questionably at Kouji along with the others.

"Kouji, what's wrong?" Takuya asked curiously. Kouji stared at the ground before at Takuya and the others.

"I can't move…" Kouji hissed. Takuya stared at him a bit confused before his eyes widened as he saw icy bindings wrapping around Kouji's legs. Takuya's hand flew into his pocket drawing out his D-Scan a bar code appearing around his hand. The four other children stared a bit confused before screaming out as Takuya was sent flying into a tree by a white claw. Hex looked up gulping slightly seeing a white digimon that resembled Devimon. However, each child knew this digimon was Icedevimon. The children all knew that. Takuya groaned slightly pinned to the tree by the digimon. He looked up struggling to get his arms unpinned from his sides. He had to spirit evolve, and quick. Kouji growled as the ice bindings wrapped their ways around his body. The Loner shivered slightly remember the same exact feeling when they had fought against Icedevimon in the Digital World. Well, the others. He and Takuya at the time had kinda been trapped in an icy dome thing. He bit his tongue trying his best to ignore the pain as he looked ahead at Icedevimon glaring.

"Wh-what do you want?" He snapped his voice shaking slightly as he shivered due to the icy ropes. Icedevimon looked at him smiling smugly at him.

"All you little kids dead. I'll start with you two, then your friends," he nudged his head over towards Kira and the others who, stared a bit bewildered and confused. Kouji glared a bit more struggling to get free as he spotted something creeping up behind the four kids. His eyes widened slightly as he looked at them

"You guys duc- umf!" His voice was cut off as icy bindings gagged his mouth. Kira stared at him curiously before back. Her eyes widened slightly as she grabbed her cousin and Tails. In turn Hex ducked as well sensing that's what he should do. Cat blinked before yelping covering her head with Tails as an attack flew over them. Kouji watched the attack gulping slightly. Since the kids were in front of him, the attack was flying straight at him now. 'Wait, this could be good… The attack could get rid of these stupid ropes… Of course that would also include me getting hit but… I'll be free to spirit evolve.' Kouji braced for the impact of the hit hearing Kira and Takuya call out to him as the attack collided. He bit back a cry of pain as the icy ropes disintegrated the young warrior being sent flying backwards. Kouji hand gripped his D-Scan as a bar code appeared around his hand. Takuya's eyes widened realizing his friends plan a small smile forming across his face.

"Execute! Spirit Evolution! Lobomon!" The Legendary Warrior of Light quickly rebounded off the tree he had been about to hit with his feet flying back towards Icedevimon. Takuya waited silently as Lobomon aimed his laser beam thing at Icedevimon's hand. "Howling Laser!"

The attack hit its target dead on. Icedevimon recoiled his claw in pain freeing Takuya. The young boy wasted no time a bar code appearing around his hand. "Spirit Evolution! Agunimon!"

The four children couldn't help but grin as they readied to see the two warriors in action again. Hex eyes moved behind him as he quickly nudged Tails and Cat. "That who I think it is?"

"Kokatorimon… That's the evil chicken dude that turned people to stone in first season, ne?" Cat asked her eye twitching. Cat didn't like chickens, so an evil chicken looking digimon that turned people to stone didn't make her feel to good. Then again, it didn't make anyone feel good besides random people who actually liked that type of stuff… But that's beside the point! Tails frowned nodding in conformant.

"The guys are gonna have there hands full," she stated as the four nodded. Kira frowned helping Cat up as Hex helped Tails.

"Let's get out of the way," the elder cousin said. The group nodded slowly moving out of the way, hoping not to get caught. Agunimon glanced at them before the chicken digimon then Icedevimon.

"So buddy, who you wanna take?" Agunimon asked as Lobomon stared towards Kokatorimon silently before Icedevimon.

"Both."

"What? Are you crazy?"

"Not sure yet, but you have to get the others out of here. I can distract them and by you time to get them out of here." Agunimon looked at his friend but nodded realizing his plan. He nodded slightly though, he still didn't like this. Lobomon glanced at his friend drawing his swords. "I'll be okay, just get them outta here fast."

"Right, I'll get back as fast as I can." The two nodded slightly at each other before the fight began. Agunimon moved quickly avoiding Icedevimon and Kokatorimon as Lobomon attacked drawing the two digimon to attack him instead. Kira blinked wondering whether Kouji had lost it or not as Agunimon stopped in front of him.

"C'mon you guys! We gotta run!"

"And leave Kouji there along? Takky your gonna leave your friend behind?"

"No, I am going to make sure you all get out of here safely and then help Kouji out. Its his idea not mine!" Agunimon stated. Tails opened her mouth to say something but gulped slightly. Agunimon gave her a questioning look before turning his head himself crying out in pain as an icy attack hit him hard forcing him back slightly. Mentally the Warrior of Flame cursed. Of course, they weren't going to fall for the plan. If there had been one of them maybe but nnnooo, there had to be two opponents! This wasn't their day. First they are tortured at Tony's house, then Takuya has to cook, then they get kicked out of 7 eleven, then Kouji is attack or well frightened by a cute widdle bunny and now this! What else could happen? Agunimon glared slightly as he locked eyes with his opponent, Icedevimon. "Get out of here you guys."

"Takuya…"

"Go!" The group looked at him but listened quickly running away. Icedevimon looked at the young boy laughing slightly.

"You know once we kill you and your friend we will hunt them down at kill them."

"And that's why I'm gonna kick your butt and scan your data." Agunimon stated simply as fire sparked around him. "You're going down Icedevimon! Pyro Tornado!"

-

Lobomon gritted his teeth in pain as he was sent back by another one of Kokatorimon's Feather Sword blocking half the attack barley with his saber. His eyes moved silently at Agunimon who was fighting Icedevimon, the other children had managed to get a safe distance away, though they remained in seeing distance of the fight. Lobomon's attention was brought back to his fight as he ducked another onslaught of attacks. He used his sword to swat away the attacks and block them. He thought silently trying to come up with a new plan, normally, Takuya and he would have no problem with these two digimon. Well, okay they would have some problem, but not as much as right now. At the moment, the two were sleep deprived, they couldn't risk using their b-spirits and there was no way they could fusion evolve now. Also, nearby four children were watching the fight, four innocent bystanders who could get hurt if they messed up or were defeated. They couldn't risk endangering them, or any other person in the park. Lobomon sidestepped another attack hitting his attacker over the head hard. Kokatorimon ruffled its feathers angrily looking at Lobomon who gave a small smirk.

"You little- Stun Flame Shot!" Lobomon managed to dodge the attack by jumping into the air. However, Kokatorimon fired off another attack as he landed. Lobomon released a small cry of pain, as he was stunned, unable to move.

'Dammit, I can't move. What the hell did this thing do?' Lobomon thought mentally trying to mover. However, it was like he was tied in place by something. He couldn't move any thing.

"Not so tough now are you? Petra Fire!" Lobomon cried out in pain as Kokatorimon fired multiple 'Petra Fire' attacks at the frozen child. Agunimon spared a glance over towards his friend his eyes widening as he fought to get over to help his friend. Icedevimon laughed slightly grabbing Agunimon's hair pulling him back to the fight. Agunimon released a small cry of pain and surprise as he fought to get to his friend. This fight wasn't going to end well.

"Let go of me!" The Legendary Warrior of Flame shouted as fire erupted from the vents on his wrists. "Pyro Tornado!" The attack forced Icedevimon to release his hold as Agunimon ran towards his friend not wasting any time as he shot off another 'Pyro Tornado' knocking Kokatorimon away from his friends. Agunimon moved in front of his friend glancing over his shoulder at him. He could see the tolls of the attacks on Lobomon, cuts and bruises littered the warriors' body and part of his armor had become cracked. Lobomon's eyes darted to Agunimon though he couldn't say anything. He was stuck like this until the effects of the attack wore off, and he wasn't sure how long that would be. Both boys knew that they stood no chance here the digimon had the advantage. Thoughts raced through Lobomon's mind, questions, failed plans, the past… The others. Agunimon kept his eyes on his two opponents.

"Frozen Claw!"

"Feather Sword!"

Both attacks hit their targets as Agunimon rammed into Lobomon the two warriors being sent flying. For a moment or two the two remained in a heap a try breaking over them. Data surrounded both child as it revealed the two beat up Warriors of Flame and Light. Kouji groaned slightly the effects of the attack wearing off as he managed to move slightly rolling Takuya off him. Takuya currently had swirly eyes as he blinked shaking his head recovering. Takuya cried out in pain again as he was hit by another icy attack while another Petra Fire hit Kouji attack. Takuya laid on his side taking shallow breaths as he felt frost coat itself over his shirt and arms. The boy managed to lift his head slowly looking towards his friend. Kouji was lying sprawled on the back holding his left side, where the attack had hit. Takuya couldn't help but frown worriedly seeing blood seeping through Kouji's yellow shirt. Kouji's breaths quivered slightly as he coughed trying to slowly sit up. The four children watching the fight had their hands in tight fists as they watched. This was not good; Takuya and Kouji could not continue to fight. Takuya managed to get himself to his hands and knees shivering gently.

"Still want to fight boy?" Icedevimon stated in his chilling voice. Takuya took another shallow breath as Icedevimon lifted his chin with a sharp claw-finger, almost as if taunting Takuya. The Goggle-Boy glared slightly his hand gripping his D-Scan as he forced himself back to his feet nearly falling over again.

"I'm not beat yet," Takuya managed to say weakly as another bar code appeared around his hand. "Execute! Spir-" Takuya stopped as Icedevimon shot a blue beam out of his finger. The beam hit his D-Scan freezing it, which in turn forced Takuya to groan. "Not again!"

"Takuya," Takuya's eyes darted to Kouji who was getting to his feet his teeth gritted in pain. "Got any plans?"

"I was hoping you had one," Takuya couldn't help but laugh slightly as Kouji rolled his eyes. Icedevimon kept his finger pointed towards Takuya. Meanwhile Kokatorimon kept his eyes locked on Kouji. Both boys sighed slightly looking at their predicament Kouji leaning slightly again Takuya. Takuya couldn't help but laugh lightly glancing at his friend. "Looks like this is it… Who would've thought…"
"Don't lose hope Takuya it doesn't suit you Takuya. Besides we aren't gonna lose here…"

"Oh then you got a plan?"

"Yea, you get out of here. Your D-Scans frozen so you would only get in my way. I can hold them off while your D-Scan thaws out." Takuya glanced at Kouji gripping his D-Scan with his gloved hand.

"Kouji, I don't think I like that idea. Your hurt after all…"

"Yea, but I can still fight, look Takuya, if both of us die here the others back in the Digital World are dead meat, along with Kira and the others. One of us has to make it out of here." Takuya looked at his friend silently before nodding. It was the only thing they could do. "Alright, when I'll hold them off."

"Be careful," Takuya stated. Kouji looked at him but gave a small smirk to show that he'd be alright. They remained silent as multiple bar codes surrounded Kouji's hand as he brought his D-Scan across it.

"Execute! Fusion Evolution! Beowulfmon!" The new warrior stood tall with renewed strength as he looked towards the two opponents holding his blade at the ready. "Frozen Hunter!"

Takuya hesitated for a moment before running quickly towards the others, all the while trying to force his D-Scan to thaw out. Icedevimon shouted out its claw flying at him as Beowulfmon quickly diverted it with his Cleansing Light attack. Takuya could hear the sounds of battle in the background, the attacks flying at his friend, the screams of pain from Beowulfmon. Tails looked up seeing him as the Goggle-Head panted stopping in front of them.

"Takuya! Are you okay?"

"Uh, yea I mean I'm not dead. But that damn digimon froze my D-Scan…" All eyes moved to look at his frozen digivice as Takuya glared down at the ice. As if his glare would melt it.

"… Kouji's still fighting?"

"Yea, but he's not gonna last much longer, he got beat up more then I did… Dammit! Why can't this thing thaw out?" Takuya cursed tempted to through his D-Scan into a tree. Kira frowned looking at her friend as Tails and Hex thought for a moment. Hex snapped his fingers quickly turning to look at Cat.

"Cat you little pyro, give me your lighter!" Cat grumbled slightly fishing through her pockets before handing it to Hex. Hex took it flicking it as the flame appeared. Takuya looked at him as he took the D-Scan from Takuya holding the flame under it. Everyone watched in silence as the ice slowly began to melt. Takuya's hands were in fists as he heard Kouji's cries of pain. The fire wasn't melting it fast enough. Meanwhile, as Takuya was trying to come up with a plan, Cat, Tails and Hex were shouting 'Thaw, Thaw Damn You!'. Yea, that didn't really help Takky.

(Toni: I'VE INVADED! GG: That was REALLY random… Get away from the computer Toni!)

Takuya's hands were in fists as he glanced over his shoulder hearing one last cry of agony from the Warrior of Light. Then, there was nothing. Takuya placed a hand over his eyes to block the sun out as he strained to see what had happened. His eyes widened slightly as he made out the data that surrounded Kouji before it vanished, revealing an extremely weak longhaired boy. Kouji swayed doing his best to remain conscious as Takuya watched.

"Kouji!" The brunette shouted as his eyes widened as he watched Kokatorimon attack Kouji again. The Loner gasped slightly out of pain as the attack hit. His eyes widened in pain as his arms, legs, body turned into granite stone. Takuya couldn't help but stare in shock; his friend had been turned to stone! Everyone's eyes stared at the statue-form of the Warrior of Light. Takuya stared, unable to believe it before crying out in a mixture of surprise and pain. Icedevimon laughed coldly his pointer finger directed at Takuya. The young boys legs were both frozen solid Takuya stared down at his legs before the other children. "Dammit! Run!"

Everyone hesitated before Kira nodded running away dragging the other children behind her. Hex stopped looking back at Takuya throwing him the half way thawed D-Scan. Takuya caught it knowing it would come in handy. He looked at it pressing some of the unfrozen buttons trying to spirit evolve. If he was Agunimon, he could thaw out this ice easily. However, before Takuya could a blue beam shot from Icedevimon's finger freezing his right arm, before his left. Takuya mentally cursed as he squeezed his eyes shut.

'So this is how I'm gonna die? Getting turned into a ice cube? Dammit! How am I getting myself out of this mess? I mean, Kouji can't help; he's a damn statue now! Kira and the others can't do anything to fight, and the others in the Digital World… No, I can't lose, they need me and Kouji back, we need to defeat Lucemon, we need to save the Digital World!' Takuya thought quickly. But soon, his thoughts were cut short as the rest of his body turned into ice, the boys' eyes wide with pain. Tails turned her head glancing over her should stopping dead in her tracks when she saw what had happened. Cat turned wondering why Tails had stop but froze seeing Takuya.

"No…" Was all either girl could say as Hex and Kira too stopped. Kira covered her mouth while Hex cursed. Icedevimon smirked slightly looking down at the two statues.

"Hmm, should we keep these and give them to our master or should we smash them into little bits? Decisions, decisions…" The ice devil said as Kokatorimon clucked slightly.

"I say we smash 'em! Then go after those other little kids!" The chicken digimon stated looking at the two frozen boys ruffling its feathers.

"Very well then, Frozen Cl-"

"Arm Bomber!" An attack cut off Icedevimon as he was sent flying. Kokatorimon squawked in surprise as he turned to look at another digimon. Tails couldn't help but stare wide eye. Antylamon, the ultimate form of her favorite digimon Lopmon, stood right before her. Hex mouth hung open as did Cat's as Kira just stared in shock. Antylamon stood up tall, only an inch or two shorter then Icedevimon. Tails stared in awe as she stared at the digimon. Antylamon glared at Icedevimon and Kokatorimon speaking. "You have no right to be here, go back to the Digital World! The Real World is no place for you!"

Icedevimon scoffed slightly looking at the other digimon speaking. "We are here to kill the Warriors of Flame and Light along with their four friends."

"Yea, what he said!" Kokatorimon copied as Antylamon glared slightly its eyes darting in the direction of the children, then from Takuya to Kouji then to the two digimon. They were both champions, while Antylamon was an ultimate however, most likely, they could take her down easily. Tails frowned looking towards the fight as did Hex the two thinking of a way to help, of something to do. Nothing came to mind though, this was not good.

"I will not allow you to harm anyone, Bunny Blade!" Antylamon shouted aiming at Kokatorimon since he seemed to be the more stupid out of the two. Kokatorimon screeched out in pain as the attack hit, the evil chicken turning into data. The four children gave off small cheers however Cat frowned. Kouji was still stone. Shouldn't defeating Kokatorimon have turned him back to normal? That's what happened in that episode of Digimon Adventure. Right? Antylamon wasted no time turning to look at Icedevimon. "One down, one to go. This is your last chance, leave now or be destroyed!"

"There's no way I will lose to you! Avalanche!" Antylamon moved to dodge but stopped. She was still in front of Takuya's frozen body, if she moved, he could get smashed. The digimon growled slightly bracing itself using her Bunny Blade to cut some of the impact of the attack.

"Antylamon!" Tails screamed. She wasn't sure why but something inside her made her cry out. Something she couldn't explain. Antylamon heard her turning its head to look at the young girl as the attack hit. Snow covered the area as the group stared Tails covering her mouth in shock. A sudden light emitted from her pocket as the girl pulled out her toy old school digivice (GG: My name for the first seasons digivices). Everyone stared a bit in awe but mostly confused as the light erupted from the device and towards Antylamon's form. The device changed colors turning into a creamy pink with light pink hues. Tails stared down at it before towards Antylamon melting the snow. Tails stared wide eye as Antylamon absorbed the light seeming to feed off it as the rabbit digimon got to its feet.

"Good bye Icedevimon. Arm Bomber! Bunny Blade!" The attack combination hit Icedevimon as the devil cried out in pain. Everyone stared in awe as they watched the digimon burst out into data. The snow melted as the four children timidly walked over. The ice around Takuya and the stone around Kouji however remained.

"Shouldn't they have gone back to normal?" Cat asked glancing at her friends before Antylamon.

"Maybe it's different in the Real World then in the Digital." Kira suggested as the group nodded slightly. Tails looked up at Antylamon as data surrounded the digimon revealing a winded brown and pink rabbit. Lopmon sat on the ground yawning slightly a tag and crest around its neck. In the tag was a crest with a peace sign. Tails squatted down looking at Lopmon smiling slightly.

"Thanks a lot Lopmon, you save our butts." Lopmon looked at her smiling brightly.

"Well I had to do something! After all, I wasn't gonna let Icedevimon and Kokatorimon kill my partner!" Partner? Tails stared at Lopmon as the rookie smiled pulling the tag off from around its neck handing it too Tails still smiling. "I'm your partner Tails!"

"I-I have a partner?"

"Wha? Tails is a digidestin?" Cat and Hex shouted looking at Lopmon as Kira blinked.

"When did this happen?" The older girl asked tilting her head to the side. Lopmon looked at them all answering.

"When Takuya and Kouji came, they were summoned more then you all thought. They were brought here to guard the Bearers of the Four Principles. Tails is the Bearer of Peace. I am her partner, she's a digidestin!" The children stared at Lopmon a bit curiously and confused as Lopmon laughed. "I'm not a good explainer."

Everyone nodded agreeing with it as Lopmon laughed slightly. The children then looked towards Takuya and Kouji frowning as Cat spoke. "What are we gonna do? I mean… How are we gonna turn them back to normal?"

"I donno," they said as Tails thought for a moment before looking at Lopmon, her partner.

"Lopmon, can't you use your Blazing Fire attack to unfreeze Takuya?"

"Um, I can try. Blazing Fire!" Everyone watched as the ice around Takuya vanished slowly.

"Aaah! Stop! Drop! Roll! Stop! Drop! Roll!" Takuya shouted as he thawed out rolling on the ground seeing as Lopmon kind of set his shirt on fire. Everyone laughed at this as Takuya stopped looking at the still stone Kouji, to the four kids then to Lopmon. "Uh, what I miss?"

"A lot, stay here, I'm gonna go call Tanya. She can give us a ride outta here, doubt we could carry Kouji." Hex stated stepping off a little ways pulling out his cell phone. Takuya blinked shivering slightly seeing as his clothes were kind of soaked thanks to the ice. His eyes moved to stare at Kouji's stone figure. Kouji's eyes were wide with pain his mouth opened slightly as his hand held his injured side. The other arm was limp as he looked like he was about to collapse before he had been turned. This was turning out to be one strange day.
