Chapter 5: Kumamon's Deep Freeze (Part 2)
The inners were staring in shock at what they were seeing. They were currently at a daycare helping out the teacher. When she went to get some supplies, Rini started playing a game with the kids, pretending to be Sailor Scouts. At one point in the game, a giant yellow teddy bear which the girls recognised as a stuffed toy that the kids were so fond of had appeared on the slide and as dressed a lot like Tuxedo Mask. The only difference was that the kids called him Tuxedo Bear.
"Fear not Sailor Scouts!" the bear spoke bravely, but his voice sounded a little goofy. "This monster is no match for our teamwork!"
It as all kind of dramatic in a sense. Of course, that kind of faded when the stuffed bear ent down the slide and made a mad dash for Rini and the little girls who were pretending to be the Sailor Scouts. He then stopped next to Rini and stood beside her in what seemed to be, for the kids, another dramatic pose.
"Rawr," growled the boy in the youma mask. "Even you aren't a match for me Tuxedo Bear!"
"We'll see about that!" the bear smiled. "Hearts Attack!"
The bear opened his arms wide and to the scouts' surprise, large pink heart-shaped bubbles started shooting out of his tummy. The basketball-sized bubbles were launching at boy in the youma mask. The boy started leapeing and running, trying to dodge the bubbles while trying to sound evil, but his snickers kind of ruined the effect. Some of the bubbles that missed did hit the kids who were pretending to be dead. The bubbles popped against them and the kids who were hit broke out into uncontrollable laughter.
"Okay, just how is this happening?" asked Mina.
Amy had already taken out her Mercury computer and was scanning the oversized plush animal. After a moment she gave a reply to Mina's question.
"Well, it isn't giving off even an ounce of negative energy," she reported. "There isn't anything even remotely resembling it."
"So then he isn't evil!" Serena concluded proudly.
"Definitely," Raye nodded. "I can't sense anything dark about him. Whatever he is, he's a good person."
As the scouts talked, the bear kept shooting his heart bubbles. The boy in the mask kept dodging until he misstepped. That as when he got hit with one of the bubbles. The kid was rolling in uncontrollable laughter before he even hit the ground.
"Got him!" the bear cheered ith a smile, the audience cheering along with him. "Finish him now Sailor Moon!"
"Right!" Rini smiled, having to much fun to care about the weirdness level. She then stepped in front of the other kids with a stick that one of them had handed her.
"Moon Heart Spiral Attack!" Rini called, all the while mimicing Serena's moves when she unleashed the same attack.
"Noooo!" the youma boy cried in between his laughs before he fell down backwards, pretending to be dead.
"Yay!" the kids and the bear cheered.
The kids suddenly flooded the play area and began clambering to Rini and he bear. Apparently Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon were the favorites here.
"Monze, Monze, Monzemon!" the kids cheered as they began hugging his legs and crowd around him.
"Monzemon?" pondered Amy. "Doesn't that sound like a name for a Digimon?"
"Maybe," Raye replied. "What do you think Sere-Serena?"
The four scouts turned to where their leader had stood but a second ago, but she was sudden;y gone in the blink of an eye. The girls immediate turned their heads to see where their leader had gotten to and immediately found her. Serena apparently couldn't contain herself against such a large, cuddly, and apparently not-evil toy and caught it in one of her super-glomps. The power of this devestating move would have killed or seriously mauled some lesser folks. This plush bear on the other hand seemed to enjoy the huge show of affection and was hugging her back. The girls could only seatdrop at the sight. Only Darien had been known to survive that hug until now.
"Meatball head," Raye sighed quietly.

After the teacher had returned, and the bear snuck back inside to where he was before she left, the scouts immediately went to Lita's appartment. They had to consult their resident expert on all things Digimon. That was why the girls were all seated on Lita's furnature while they were circled around Bokomon. The little white Digimon as searching through his book for what the girls had described to him. Lita had brought out some brownies earlier but Serena and Neemon had pounced on them like a bunch of sharks.
"Found him!" Bokomon exclaimed happily. "Monzemon!"
"Well?" asked Raye. "What does it say?"

Monzemon
Monzemon are loveable toy Digimon who's greatest joy is to play with others. Their Hearts Attack leaves everyone feeling happy and bursting with laughter.
"So he isn't dangerous?" asked Amy.
"Heavens no!" Bokomon laughed. "A Monzemon will only fight if there's a game that involves it. They would never hurt hurt anyone on purpose. Especially a child."
"I knew it!" Serena squeale in delight from her seat, her face covered in crumbs. "Nothing that squishy and soft can be evil!"
"You know, I'm starting to feel jealous that you got to hug him," Mina pouted.
"Well, Mozemon are very well know for their gentleness and ho they love to give hugs to their friends," Bokomon explained further. "I suppose their hugs would be something to enjoy."
"Now I really want a hug," Mina whined after hearing that.
"Oh don't worry about it," Lita smiled. "Didn't that teacher say she wanted us to come back tomorrow so she could get the rest of her supplies? That ay we can talk to him tomorrow."
"Oh yeah!" Mina smiled as she heard this. "Hey, do you think that a Legendary Warrior might show up?"
"Then Neemon and I shall go ith you," Bokomon stated frimly while closing his book.
"Huh?" the orange Digimon in question asked as he looked up with crumbs all over his face like Serena. "Did someone say my name?"
He as only met with giggles from the girls, further confusing him.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
It waas a cold dark alley that he was met with hen he arrived. It wasn't much to see, but fortunately he wassn't there to sight see. His misson as to find the Digimon that those idiot Vilemon had let through to the human world thinking it as him. Those Vilemon were complete idiots if they coildn't tell him between the dip they let through. The project leaders excuse was that someone botched writing his name. Now thanks to the goof up, he not only had to take the dip down, but also find a base for his master.
What really bothered him was the thought if the dip managed to find either those Sailor Scout chicks or the Legendary Warriors. That would probably mean trouble for their orginization. If their enemies found out anything about them then they might get a good idea on how to stop them. No way he ould let that happen. He would have to clean up the loose end. He so loved to clean up loose ends like this one.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
It was a new day and the girls were heading back to the daycare. This time they were bringing Bokomon and Neemon in backpacks with the intent to talk to Monzemon. They arrived at the school on time with the children geeting them happily. They waited patiently for the teacher to leave. When at long last she did, Rini and Serena ran interferance hile the others went inside to talk to Monzemon. They found him right here they left him yesterday. He was even in the same classroom as before.
"Monzemon?" Amy asked quietly while stepping closer to the big bear. "Are you awake? We know you're a Digimon."
Monzemon blinked before his face became the portrait of surprise.
"Really?" he asked. "Who told you?"
"No one," Mina giggled. "We just figured it out on our own."
"Wow," Monzemon smiled. "You're smart."
Seeing that everything was under control, Lita let Bokomon out while Raye had to shake her backpack to ake up Neemon before she could get him out. Bokomon took one look at Monzemon before he ran over to him while Neemon stumbled along behind him in his half-asleep daze.
"So how did you get to the human world?" asked Raye.
"Hmm," Monzemon pondered. "I'm not quite sure. I as playing with some Toyagumon when I found this neat jack-in-the-box. I decided to play with it when it suddenly opened and a bunch of Vilemon popped out. Next thing I remember is waking up on the plaground with a boy poking me with a stick. Boy was he surprised when I got up. I like it here anyway. There's a lot of people to play with so I'm not lonely."
"Ohhh, you poor thing," Mina cooed before she collected Monzemon in a large hug.
"Yay, another hug," Monzemon smiled as he returned it.
The sweetness in the room would have been enough to cause a cavity. Maybe diabetes in the most extreme cases. The scouts could now tell without a shadow of a doubt that Monzemon wasn't here to cause trouble. Amy figured that he accidently got pulled through by Daemon's men. The others were drawing a similar conclusion. Of course, as is almost expected ith the life of the Sailor Scouts when dealing with something strange, something bad was signaled when they could hear the kids outside screaming in terror.

Takuya and Tommy were currently lost in Juuban. They were looking for the temple that Bokomon and Neemon were supposedly staying at, but Everything looked different to Takuya at ground level and Zoe as the only one who knew they way there on her own. Too bad Takuya was paying more attention to Zoe than the path he was taking. Tommy was coming along so he might be able to get his spirits back so he could help out. He didn't like hearing about the fights Takkuya and Koji took part in and be unable to help. Even if the Sailor Scouts did help them out. So far, both their plans were a bust.
"Do you think we'll ever find it?" asked Tommy.
"Sure we will!" Takuya laughed. "We just have to find out where we are first."
Both boys stewed on that for a moment before they both heaved a huge sigh. Finding out where was looking like it wasn't going to happen anytime soon. When they moved down the sidewalk, they heard screams of children cut through the air at a building ahead of them.
"What was that?" asked Tommy with concern.
"Dunno," Takuya replied with a fron. "But it came from the place ahead. Come on!"
The two boys ran towards the sound to see what was happening as fast as they could. When they got to the gate they both gaped at what they saw. A large group of children along with two older girls that Takuya could have sworn that he'd seen before were being cornered by a large black bear that was covered with stitches, had a real bear's claw and a tattered red cape.

Warumonzemon
This is the evil version of the lovable Monzemon. His Heart-Breaker Attack will leave you weeping while his Bear Claw will leave you six feet under.
"Oh no," Tommy groaned. "Not him again."
"Don't orry about him," Takuya frowned as he took out his D-tecter. "He's not taking anyone this time!"
Execute! Spirit Evolution! Agunimon!
The warrior of fire leaped out of the residual fractal code before running at his target.
"Okay runts!" Warumonzemon growled. "Where's Monzemon?"
The children whimpered under the evil bear's glare. Rini was whimpering right along with them with Serena not too far behind.
"I know he's here!" Warumonzemon barked. "This is the only place that he would like that as close to where he came out!"
"Hey! Ugly!" a ne voice shouted. "Pyro Punch!"
"Huh?" Warumonzemon grunted while turning only to get blasts of fire in his face. "Gyaaaaahh!"
Warumonzemon began rolling on the ground to snuff out the flames. The children cheered at their sudden rescuer while Serena and Rini gaped. Warumonzemon rubbed his eyes as the flames went out and looked up to see the red clad warrior of fire.
"Great," he growled. "Just what I needed."
"Tough," Agunimon smirked. "I'm here now so just deal with it!"
"I will!" Warumonzemon growled. "Bear Claw!"
The evil bear lunged forward with his claw aimed at Agunimon with unexpected speed for his bulky plush body.It was thanks to his reflexes that Agunimon managed to avoid being impaled as he leaped out of the way. Warumonzemon had put too much force into the attack and couldn't stop immediately. Agunimon took advantage of the stumbling enemy to turn his gaze to Serena and the kids.
"Get inside!" he ordered. "You'll be safer in there!"
The kids didn't need to be toldtwice as they ran for the doors. Serena and Rini were watching to make sure that everyone got inside safely. While Warumonzemon got his balance again, he managed to see inside the windows of the building. He found himself staring right Monzemon looking right back at him.
"You!" he snapped. "Found you at last you dip! Bear Claw!"
Warumonzemon lunged at the school with all the force he could muster. Agunimon was too far away to be able to stop him in time. The kids who had gone into the classroom to see the fight began to scream in terror.
"Jupiter Supreme Thunder Crash!" a female voice cried out.
A thunderbolt rained down from the sky and nailed Warumonzemon before he could actually hit anything. He cried out in pain before he slumped to the ground. He as still for a moment before he groaned and got to his knees. His fur was smoldering from the attack.
"Who did that?!" he shouted angrily.
"We did!" a female voice shouted back.
Agunimon and Warumonzemon turned to the source of the voice and they saw the Sailor Scouts standing in formation.
"Only a real monster would terrorize innocent Children!" Sailor Moon said angrily. "This is an unforgivable act and in the name of the moon..."
"We will punish you!" all the scouts finished.
"Feh," Warumonzemon spat as he got to his feet. "Me beaten by a bunch of frillly humans? Impossible."
"You so sure about that?" Jupiter frowned.
"Of course," Warumonzemon grinned. "Heart-Breaker Attack!"
A black heart-shaped bubble as launched from Warumonzemon's tummy where a hole was evident and raced towards the Sailor Scouts
"Look out!" Mercury warned as the scouts began to move.
Venus couldn't move fast enough and the bubble burst on her chest. The result was instant. She began to tear up before she slumped onto her knees and start to bawl loudly.
"Venus!" Mars snapped. "This is no time to be a crybaby!"
"I can't help it!" Venus sobbed. "I'm just so depressed and I just don't know whyyyyyahhhh!"
Jupiter ran to her bawling side friend's side. She tried to move her but Venus was just too depressed to do much of anything rather than cry.
"Time to cry baby!" Warumonzemon laughed as he took aim at the standing Jupiter. "Heart-Breaker Attack!"
He launched another black heart and it successfully collided with Jupiter. The usually storng young woman imediately fell to her knees and began to cry just as loudly as Venus.
Agunimon grimaced at the sight. He remembered all too well the effects of that attack. It as one of the stronger memories of his trip into the digital world. He knew it would wear off over time, but Warumonzemon would have more than enough time to hit them all and finish them all off.
"What kind of attack is that anyway?" Mars frowned.
"A sneaky one," Mini-moon frowned. "That's what it is!"
"Well I've had enough of it!" Sailor Moon frowned while she summoned her scepter.
Sailor Moon ran forward to face Warumonzemon with a determined look on her face. The evil plush bear turned to face her and smirked. Moon didn't waste any time in attacking.
"Moon Heart Spiral Attack!" Sailor Moon cried.
"Heart-Breaker Attack!" Warumonzemon roared.
Sailor Moon unleashed her giant pink heart while Warumonzemon shot another black heart. The two attacks soared at each other and collided. The result was a bright surge of light as a result. It was quick to fade, but there as no result that there was even an attack.
"Hey!" Sailor Moon cried. "What gives?!"
"They must have nullified each other!" Mercury reasoned. "Sailor Moon's attack uses the power of the heart but Warumonzemon's attack specifically breaks hearts!"
"Wha ha ha ha!" Warumonzemon laughed. "Not even the great Sailor Moon can bring me down. I thought Master Daemon said you'd be tough!"
"Daemon again," Mars frowned.
Any further talk as halted when Agunimon decided to get back into the fight.
"Pay attention ugly!" he shouted as he leaped into the air. "Pyro Tornado!"
Agunimon began to spin in the air before erutping into a tornado of fire. it rushed at Warumonzemon with impressive speed. The black bear's gaze had narrowed as he saw it coming. He raised his clawed arm ashe watched it coming.
"Bear Claw!" he roared as he thrust his claw into the centre of the spinning flames.
The claw was pushed into the fire and met something solid. The force of the two blows connecting snuffed out the flames and made dust clouds. Warumonzemon was quick to react as he grabbed Agunimon's leg and hurled him at the remaining Sailor Scouts.
He missed Mercury completely and Mini-moon as short enough to miss being hit. He did mange to hit Moon and Mars. The to scouts and Legendary Warrior hit the ground in a pile of tangled limbs.
"Oog," Sailor Moon groaned.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Inside the school, Monzemon, Bokomon, Neemon, and the kids were watching with rapt attention. They were either cheering for the scouts and the Agunimon or booing at Warumonzemon. It was mostly booing after the failed attack the Agunimon launched before he was thrown into the Sailor Scouts.
"Oh no!" Bokomon gasped. "What are we going to do? He's to strong for two scouts!"
"Uhhh, keep booing?" suggested Neemon.
"Boooo!" Monzemon called out the window.
Knowing he wasn't about to get a good suggestion, Bokomon turned to his book. He quickly turned to the section overview of the Ten Legendary Warriors. He then set the book on a table and stared intently at it.
"Oh please ancient spirits," Bokomon begged in prayer. "Grant us a miracle!"
He got his miracle.
Mist began to collect over the pages of the book as the pages turned to the entry on the warrior of ice. When the bages settles, two idols rose from the pages. The one on the left looked like a snow bear wearing a bit of armor. The idol on the left looked like an animal in a ball with it's on dreadlocks wrapped around it.
"The spirits of ice!" Bokomon cheered as he saw them.
"Yay!" Neemon cheered.
"We're saved!" Monzemon smiled.
The spirits seemed to hover a moment to give a sense of ease to the three Digimon before they went out the open window.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Outside, Mercury dodged another black heart when she felt it. A feeling similar to having snowflakes fall on you. Slightly cold,but oddly peaceful. The feeling filled her entire body, but she could guess what it might be. She looked to her bow and found the centre glowing a pale blue. This confirmed what Mercury was already guessing.
"My Legendary Warrior partner," she gasped quietly. "He's here!"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Tommy felt absolutely useless as he watched the battle unfold. He winced as Agunimon as tossed like a stuffed toy. It as ironic since he was tossed by a stuffed toy. While he was watching, he felt something shaking in his pocket. He pulled out his cell phone to find it glowing and changing into his white and green D-tector. He smiled as he looked up and saw the familiar spirits of ice coming towards him.
"Aright!" Tommy cheered as he held out his D-tector and the spirits entered it.
When they were safely inside, Tommy looked at the screen in anticipation. When the symbol on the screen brightened, his face broke out into a huge grin. He held out his hand as the blue ring of fractalcode appeared around it.
Execute! Spirit Evolution! Kumamon!

Warumonzemon snickered in anticipation of his victory. He had taken down four of the scouts and a Legendary Warrior. Not a bad track record for one of Daemon's men. Better then the royal knights anyway. He might get a promotion after this was over. But he kne that could wait. He turned his gaze to Mercury and Mini-moon who were a fair distance from each other.
"Who's next?" he chuckled. He looked at his targets before makind his decidion. "I know! You small fry! Bear Claw!"
Warumonzemon lunged at Mini-moon with intent to run her through. Mini-moon as frozen in terror To be killed by a giant stuffed to was a pretty cruddy way to go. Before the claws could even scratch her, a white blur came forward and snatched up Mini-moon before getting her out of harms way.
"Hi," Mini-moon's rescuer greeted. "Are you okay?"
Mini-moon looked and found herself looking into the eyes of a hite bear that was wearing a little armor. She also noticed that his feet were a pair of skis. He was about her height as well.
"Um, yes," Mini-moon nodded. "Who are you?"
The white bear set Mini-moon down as Mercury came up to them. He grinned brightly before intoducing himself.
"I'm Kumamon," he smiled. "Legendary Warrior of ice."
He pointed to his symbol to prove it. As Mercury stepped closer, it started to glow blue.
"Wow," Kumamon muttered. "That hasn't happened before."
Any furthr speculation was further halted when Warumonzemon started gatting back up from his tumble of a missed attack.
"Not another one," he groaned.
"Yup" grinned cheekily. "Another one."
Warumonzemon growled and raised his bear claw to attack.
"Blizzard Blaster!" Kumamon roared as he pulled the weapon off his back and shot hardened snowballs at Warumonzemon.
"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Warumonzemon cried as he was hit.
"Go!" Kumamon shouted.
Mercury and Mini-moon raced to either side of Warumonzemon who was sufficiently distracted. Being hit by high velocity snoballs would complete that task quite well. Mercury had stopped a good distance from Warumonzemon and saw Mini-moon who was taking position near her. They both nodded in silent agreement before they turned back to their target.
"Aqua Shine Illusion!"
"Pink Sugar Heart Attack!"
Warumonzemon, who was still being pelted by snowballs, was suddenly hit in the back with sub-zero ice and pink hearst. Needless to say that it wasn't a pleasantexperience.
"Raaah!" he bellowed. "That hurts!"
Warumonzemon began to spin on the spot. He was going at a rapid pace which one couldn't tell exactly what part of him was where. It was also sufficientto deflect the attacks. Seeing that they wweren't effective anymore, they stopped the assault.
"Darn!" Kumamon frowned as they stopped. he then brightened when he got an idea. 'Hey, Agunimomn said that he and Sailor Mars did a combined attack. So did Lobomon and Sailor Venus. Sailor Mercury's bow was glowing near meso maybe we can do one too!'
He looke dto see his opponent's status and grinned to see him stumbling in a dizzy walk. Kumamon didn't waste time as he dashed over to Mercury and Mini-moon. He was soon at Mercury's side with his idea.
"I think a combined attack might work," he suggested. " It worked for Agunimon and Lobomon anyway."
"A good idea," Mercury nodded with a smile. She and Kumamon then turned to face the quickly recovering Warumonzemon.
"Aqua Shine Illusion!"
"Crystal Breeze!"
The icy ater was engulfed by Kumamon's freezing breath as it soared at Warumonzemon. The attack grew bigger as the to attacks merged fully. It became like a concentrated blizzrd that was going for Warumonzemon.
"Graaaaaahhhhhh!" he bellowed as he was engulfed by the concentrated force of nature.
He was losing ground as the sheer force was pushing him back. Frost was forming over his fur before layers of snow followed. Soon he couldn't hold up anymore and he was hurled off his feet. He travelled several feet before he collided with the gate wall with a loud thud. He wordlessly slid to the ground. he then turned deep black as a ring of fractal code surrounded him.
Kumamon was fast to react as he got in close with his D-tecter.
"Now you won't make anyone cry ever again!" Kumamon said with a frown. "Fractal Code! Digitize!"
He drew the data into his device and the shadow vanished before shoing a wwirefram egg for a second. That vanished a second later. With Warumonzemon gone, Venus and Jupiter snapped out of their bout of crying. Agunimon, Moon, and Mars even managed to get up at long last.
"Who's this guy?" groaned Mars and she and the others stood up.
"I'm Kumamon," the warrior of ice smiled. "I'm one of the ten warriors."
"Really?" gaped Jupiter. "You?"
"He is," Agunimon grinned. "We've worked together plenty of times."
Kumamon grinned again at the praise. That was until he heard to voices squeal in a happy voice.
"So cute!" Venus and Moon squealed before capturing Kumamon in a hug. They were nuzzling the sides of his face with theirs.
"Ack!" Kumamon cried in shock. "Help!"
"Kumamon you ladykiller you!" Agunimon snickered, getting laughs from everyone around.
To Be Continued.
