The Past Revealed

Flashback

Frigimon was walking through the snowy forest near her home when the sound of an infant wailing alerted her.

"You sweet little thing." She cooed, picking up the crying Keenan. "There, there, it's okay."

"Keenan!" Michelle's voice sounded from the other side of the Digital Gate as Frigimon turned to see the glowing portal. "Keenan!"

"Keenan?" Frigimon echoed. "Wow, that sounds like a fine name for you."

"Keenan!" Michelle screamed as the portal closed.

"Oh dear." Frigimon noted.

"You like me, do you?" the snowman Digimon smiled at the gaggling child. "You want to come home with me? Well, come on then. I can never say no to someone as cute as you."

"You fight no more!" Keenan told Merukimon.

"Keenan, you ought to stay out of this. It's a fight between Marcus and Merukimon and you can't stop it." Agumon stopped him.

"Me no care!" Keenan retorted.

"Well, me do." Agumon replied.

"Me must stop fight, Agumon!" Keenan insisted. Tossing the orange dinosaur off, Keenan rushed off to stop the two.

"Merukimon!" The boy shouted. "Me know truth now! Me meet real mother in Hu-mon World! Me know me hu-mon! But me not afraid to stand up to you! Me not let you fight friends!"

"Keenan." Merukimon looked at the child. "I've always known the truth. I've always known that you're not of this world."

"But just because he's different, that doesn't give you the right to attack him!" Marcus rebuked.

"What do you mean?" Merukimon frowned.

"Don't play me!" Marcus retorted. "Gotsumon practically brought an army of Digimons to the Human World to try and take Keenan down!"

"If he did, he wasn't following my orders." Merukimon replied.

"So, what are you saying?" Thomas asked.

"Do you that Gotsumon acted on his own?" Falcomon inquired.

"Among Digimon, there are many who despise all humans and few hate more than Gotsumon did." Merukimon informed the group.

"Me used to hate hu-mons just like Gotsumon." Keenan confessed. "But then, me meet Marcus and all his hu-mon friends and me realize not all hu-mon is bad."

"Thanks kid." Marcus remarked.

"And before that," Keenan added. "Me become good friends with Falcomon, so that prove that Digimon and Hu-mons no have to fight each other. Right?"

At that, Kurata chuckled.

"Friends." He mocked. "Yeah right kid. You're joking and you don't even know it. Digimon are the monsters under your bed, nothing but horrible beasts that threaten to destroy all mankind."

With a wave, he summoned his troops.

"What trick is this?" Merukimon demanded. "Who are all of these intruders? Speak up!"

"Wait." He noted. "I see what's going on now. I misjudged you, Marcus. I let you get close so you brought the wolf right into my home."

"What are you talking about?" Marcus was confused.

"Don't play me." Merukimon rebuked. "That man was the one who attacked my comrades and he's the one who's responsible for deleting Frigimon's data and destroying her!"

"What? Kurata!" Marcus spat.

Kurata chuckled.

Flashback

Frigimon was cuddling the baby Keenan when a quake shook the ground and the snowman Digimon ran out of her igloo.

"Right this way, Merukimon sir." Gotsumon told the Mega level Digimon as he stood beside Frigimon.

"Hey wait up!" EmperorGreymon called out.

"It's been quite a while since I last saw you, Frigimon." Merukimon bent to see the snowman Digimon better.

"Yes, but why would a member of the Olympus Twelve and Royal Knights come to see little old me, Merukimon?" Frigimon asked.

"I've come to put out a fire." Merukimon told her.

"Fire?" Frigimon echoed.

"He's talking about this human infant." Gotsumon supplied.

"Digimon and humans were never meant to interact with one another." Merukimon pointed out. "And that's the reason I've come to see you. You must give me the child."

"No!" Frigimon protested. "No matter what you do to me Merukimon, I must refuse!"

"What?" Merukimon demanded.

"I believe that this baby came to me for a reason." Frigimon replied. "So, I'm going to raise him, no matter what you say."

"What?" Gotsumon was astonished. "It is considered treason to speak so disrespectfully to our revered leader, Merukimon!"

"It's okay." Frigimon rocked the wailing baby in her arms. "There's nothing to be afraid of. See? It's okay."

"I have heard of this before." Merukimon noted, seeing the tender scene. "Apparently human mothers act like this when they're protecting their children. Are you planning on being this child's mother then Frigimon and raising him?"

"Mother?" Frigimon echoed as she looked at the gaggling Keenan. "Mother. I like the sound of that. Okay, starting from here on out, I'll be this child's mother."

"Frigimon loved Keenan from the very bottom of her heart." Merukimon narrated. "It was as if he were truly her own son. They were made for each other. And then, that man came along and ripped Frigimon and Keenan from each other's arms forever!"

"Don't be fooled by this monster's lies." Kurata scoffed. "You're only hearing his side of things. If there's a victim you should feel sorry for in this little story, it's me."

"And just what you mean by that, Kurata?" Thomas asked.
