Infinite Ice Ridge - Is He Really...?

[YolkaEd]

In the Digital Realm of Yggdrasil, there is a castle forged from nothing but ice, where one of the Olympus Twelve resided five years ago. Now...

@neptunmon@

"MERUKIMON!!!" Emerging from a portal was another member of this group, Neptunmon, who glared around him with a snarl. "WHERE ARE YOU?!"

[Ninetalesuk]

@apollomon@

He landed into the area, glancing around. "Stop hiding and come out!!!"

@dianamon@

"Don't bother telling these two to perpare for the worst..." She sighed sadly.

[Candescence]

Ikuto emerged on Crowmon's back. "He's not here, I told you."

@crowmon@
He nodded, as he went on ahead, towards the throne room, with Ikuto on his back. "Come on! He was killed in the throne room."


Marsmon came out of the portal, and his eyes narrowed, as Crowmon began leading the Olympians, and then followed.

[YolkaEd]

@neptunmon@

"Damn it, boy, he was not killed!" Neptunmon growled, as he quickly followed Crowmon.

[Ninetalesuk]

@apollomon@

"We shall prove to you that Merukimon is not dead!!!" He bellowed. "To the throne room!!!"

@dianamon@

"Dramatic idiot..." She grumbled as they walked towards the throne room.

[Candescence]

They would soon end up in Merukimon's 'throne room'. Even after 5 years, it was an absolute mess. The signs of a five-year-old battle was still here.


"I'm surprised Marcus didn't clean the place up while he was in charge..." He muttered, as he hopped off Crowmon, and walked over to where exactly Merukimon made his last breath.


He placed Minervamon against the wall, and examined the signs of battle. "These signs of battle were here when I visited last..."

He then looked to where Ikuto was standing. "Was that where Merukimon was deleted, boy?"


He nodded. "His final act was to allow me to defeat the abomination that had dealt him the fatal blow, which allowed me and my companions to escape."

@crowmon@
He quickly devolved...


To Falcomon. "I still remember it like it was yesterday..."

[YolkaEd]

@neptunmon@

"...no, that cannot be true!" Neptunmon roared, as he glared at Keenan. "Merukimon would never have allowed anyone to lay a finger on him! He-"

@@

"GIGIGIGIGIGIGI!"

@@

"TETETETETETETE!"

@neptunmon@

Hearing those laughters, Neptunmon glared around him. "Who's there?!"

[Ninetalesuk]

@apollomon@

"COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP OR I'LL BURN YOU TO..."

(Whack!)

@apollomon@

"OW!!!"

@dianamon@

"We're in a cave full of ice!" She snapped. "If you use all your fire attacks, you'll just melt it you idiot!"

@apollomon@

"Ugh..." He rubbed his head.

[Candescence]

"We were in the middle of a conversation, and his guard was down against an enemy he didn't know was there! I-" Then the laughters came. "What the?!"


"We might be in for a fight!" He raised his fists. "I do not like this."


"Good thing we can go Burst Mode here, huh?"


He nodded, but he was no less worried.

[YolkaEd]

"Gigigigi! What are you doing in Lord Merukimon's castle?"

@@

"Tetetete! Don't you know that a hero perished here?"

@neptunmon@

Snarling, Neptunmon glared towards where the noise came from. "Where are you?!"

@@@@

"Right here!" At that point, two figures revealed themselves...

[Ninetalesuk]

@apollomon@

"Oh great... two grinning idiots..." He muttered.

@dianamon@

"Ultimate-level Giromon and Tekkamon..." She muttered.

[Candescence]

"Apparently, Marcus didn't think about putting security on this place, either... A few days, and..."


"Ikuto, just get ready to fight!"


"It seems these two also say that Merukimon perished here. Though I doubt they'd make reliable testimony... Why are you two here?"

[YolkaEd]

@giromon@

"Gigigigi! We guard the place!" Giromon said, as he lifted his chainsaw up.

@tekkamon@

"Tetetete! We make sure it doesn't fall into disrepair, or that no one else resides in it!" Tekkamon chimed in, waving his sword about.

@neptunmon@

"...if you're here to keep the castle from crumbling..." Neptunmon grumbled, as he glanced around the throne room. "...then explain this mess."

@giromon@

"Gigigigi! We could never dare to defile the location of Lord Merukimon's last stand!"

@tekkamon@

"This area stands as a memorial to the Digimon who gave his life to save the child he raised as his own son..." Tekkamon uttered, as he glanced at Keenan. "...and speak of the devil, there he is!"

[Ninetalesuk]

@apollomon@

"HE'S NOT DEAD, YOU GIGGLING IDIOTS!!!" He yelled.

@dianamon@

"....."

[Candescence]

His eyes narrowed. "I honestly doubt Marcus let you do this."


"I have neeeeevvvveeeeerrr seen these guys before in my life, and I occasionally come here... But everyone in the area knows what happened."


"So. It seems the evidence and testimony suggests is that Merukimon was killed here, and was never revived via Digi-Egg..." He looked at Neptunemon and Apollomon, frowning. "I loathe to say it... But it seems that it is indeed true. Merukimon is dead and gone."

[YolkaEd]

@neptunmon@

"...no..." Neptunmon growled, as he glared at Giromon and Tekkamon. "NO!!! It's lies! Naught but lies! Where is he?!"

@giromon@

"...we've told you..." Giromon uttered, as he looked down at the ground. "...he's dead."

@tekkamon@

"Now, begone!" Tekkamon said, pointing his blade at Neptunmon. "His resting place must remain untainted!"

@neptunmon@

"...you..." Snarling, Neptunmon brought out King's Bite, and with a roar, hurled it right at the two Ultimates...

@@

...only for a well-timed slash of a blade to knock the spear away. "That will be enough."

@neptunmon@@giromon@@tekkamon@

Everyone could only gape at the sight of who deflected Neptunmon's attack...

[Candescence]

His eyes opened wide at the sight. This should be impossible. But Merukimon was standing RIGHT THERE.

"Merukimon... You're... You're alive..." Tears were streaming down his face...


"Merukimon... Is this... A miracle...?" Falcomon was crying as well.


"How..." He was shocked as well.

[Ninetalesuk]

@dianamon@

"M-Merukimon!!!" She cried.

@apollomon@

"I KNEW IT!!!" He whirled at Keenan and Falcomon. "YOU LIED!!! YOU LIED, LIED, LIED, LIED, LI-"

*BAM!!!*

@apollomon@

"OW!!!"

@dianamon@

She grumbled as she tapped her hand with her staff.

[YolkaEd]

@merukimon@

With a slight nod, Merukimon approached Keenan, kneeling by him. "...it's good to see you again... Keenan." he said with a smile.

@neptunmon@

"...he... is alive..." Neptunmon uttered, as he glanced at Giromon and Tekkamon.

@giromon@

"...gigigi... I can't believe it!" Giromon said happily. "He's alive! Lord Merukimon's really alive!!"

@tekkamon@

Tekkamon, on the other hand, was silent.

[Candescence]

At this point... Ikuto just hugged Merukimon's leg, crying his heart out. "Five... YEARS... I thought you were gone forever... I'm just so happy to see you again..."


Falcomon was also doing the same thing. "Please tell me I'm not dreaming! TELL ME I'M NOT DREAMING!"


A smile creeped up. "Merukimon... It is good to see you again, as well. I am curious, however... If they claim your data was corrupted... How did you...?"
