Who: Rin Okumura, Ratchet, Alec Edwards, ??? [Later: Haku Yowane, Dart Volgue, Yukio Okumura]
What: A very cold and rude awakening from the end of the world
When: Feb 19th, mid-day on
Where: Meria

Fuck it was freezing. Beyond freezing. That kind of cold where you swore your bones were going to freeze inside and leave you a statue in the barren white wasteland that created the cold.

Rin grumbled to himself as he slowly picked up one foot in front of the other, up to his mid-calves in the hard packed snow that only gave when he brought his foot down on it. His tail was wrapped underneath his tattered shirt for whatever warmth he could manage from it, and on his back was a barely conscious Lombax.

All around them, whiteness seemed to stretch out for miles with the wind only whipping up more white, blocking any sense of vision from further out than a few hundred feet. As much as Rin could resist and regenerate from, he was already starting to feel a heaviness sinking in to his lungs and dragging weariness down in to his bones even more than the cold itself. Ratchet was still breathing, but barely, and at this rate they would be lucky if they survived another few hours.

Was this hell? Had Chaosmon succeeded in destroying everything, including them? He didn't know. He just knew that he had to keep going, keep moving, and hope to whatever deity was listening that something would take pity on a half frozen half demon and a Lombax.

Alec looked up at the strange creature. His parents had warned him about speaking to strangers, but it was possible this thing could help them. "Iunno...I was thinkin' that we wanted to be here, rather than way over there in the snow. And here I am."

What an interesting power the boy seemed to possess. Perhaps this could be used later to his advantage. But he said we, so there were other people near?

"We? And where are these others? Are they where that blue light was?" He pointed off to the distance where he saw a moment ago.

Off in the distance Ratchet just held Rin, his eyes growing heavy. He wasn't strong enough to lift the half demon on his own and carry him that far. But he did have one thing; the hover boots. He pulled Rin as close to him as he could, trapping the unconscious boy's arms around his shoulders. He hit the thrusters and started the boots. They picked him up out of the snow and they started making their way forward, the wind still whipping at the Lombax and the half demon.

Ratchet only got a few feet, however, until the boots shorted out and both when tumbling into the snow, the Lombax landing face first in cold powder. It was too much; too cold, he was too tired, and the world was spinning too damn fast. All he could do was close his eyes and let the darkness take him.

Nodding, Alec looked over the creature. He'd gotten used to the comic like characters that ended up in the Digital World. He wasn't like anyone he'd seen so far. "Are you gonna help us?"

The doctor nodded and snapped his fingers. "Yes, I will." A tall Black XV-mon exited the bunker behind the doctor and a golden ring opened up not far from the three of them.

"Black, there are some unfortunate souls out there we need to bring inside. Fetch them for us and I'll take Alecander here inside. Shall we?" He motioned to the door for the boy to enter first while the digimon stepped through the ring and vanished.

"It's Alec." He said with a pout. It was only when he was in trouble that he was called by his full name. Wobbling, Alec pushed himself up, only to fall back down into the snow.

"Here Alec, let me help you." Finitevus reached down and picked Alec up before walking into the bunker. It was much warmer in the structure, a warm fire flowing in the pit in the middle. He set Alec down on one of the chairs before grabbing a blanket to drape over him.

Black XV-mon soon returned, pulling Rin, Ratchet, and Alec's partner into the bunker and closed the door with his tail. The digimon put Buwny down first before setting both tamers down on cots away from the fire and began to undress both of them.

"We should get those wet clothes off of you Alec, else you will get sick. I will fetch you a pair of new clothes."
