Chapter Four
The Flame of Phoenixmon
Mimi and Sora had landed, most annoyingly, in Freezeland. They were both freezing as they trudged through the snow.
"I still don't understand why you did it." Mimi said in an irritated voice.
They had been arguing about Sora's mistake since they had come around.
"Mimi, I made a mistake. I was really angry, and I wanted to hurt him. I wish to heaven that I hadn't, but now it's too late."
Mimi glared at her.
"It was stupid."
"I know that! I knew that as I was doing it! In fact, I knew it as soon as Tai opened the door, but I couldn't stop myself."
"So, now you've wrecked your own relationship, your friendship with Tai, and his friendship with Matt."
"I KNOW!"
Her cry echoed across the icy wastes as they trudged through more ice.
Biyomon shrugged at Palmon. Neither of them were keen to say that they could have stopped the entire situation.
"Do you reckon it will all work out?" Palmon asked her pink bird friend now that the two girls weren't talking to each other.
"I hope they will. I'm not sure they will though. They're all very hurt."
Palmon moaned.
"This colds affecting my roots."
"And my feathers are frozen." Biyomon said.
"Well, you two are the ones who live here. How long until we're out of this little slice of paradise?" Mimi demanded.
"Don't snap at us. We're just as confused as everyone else is. One minute everyone's happy, the next Ghoulmon's taken over and you lot have all fallen out." Biyomon said.
Mimi cooled a bit.
"Sorry. It's not you I'm angry at. It's the stupid person beside me."
Sora cracked.
"RIGHT, COME OUT AND SAY WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY!"
"ALRIGHT, I WILL! I THINK YOU'RE AN IDIOT! YOU HAD MATT, WHO WAS HEAD OVER HEELS FOR YOU, AND BECAUSE OF A STUPID FIGHT YOU'VE LOST HIM! AND YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TAI AS HE KNEW FULL WELL YOU WERE ONLY USING HIM FOR A ONE NIGHT STAND!"
Sora was taken aback.
"You really think all that?"
"Yes! You're an idiot! And now you've lost both of them!"
Sora looked hurt, and she turned away from Mimi, who took a deep shuddering breath to calm her down.
"You shouldn't have done that." Palmon said.
"She deserved it. She's being stupid and she needs to acknowledge that before we go any further!"
"But the more you lot fight, the weaker we are! We cant save the world from Ghoulmon if you're all at each others throats!" Biyomon crowed angrily.
"I'm sorry, but I have more immediate worries at the moment." Mimi said.
The two Digimon shot her dirty looks. Then, the ground rumbled.
"Did I do that?" Mimi asked.
"No." Biyomon said worriedly.
Then SkullMammothmon burst out of a snowdrift.
"Oh no!" Biyomon squeaked.
"Not good!" Palmon shouted.
The massive skeletal elephant cackled.
"Your little shouting match made it so much easier to find you. I thank you." He said in a gravely voice.
"What do we do?" Sora asked.
"Run as fast as we can in the opposite direction and hope he gets cold feet." Biyomon said.
SkullMammothmon laughed.
"You could try. Spiral Bone Crusher!"
He then threw a massive bone with his trunk that span straight towards them.
"Oh no!"
"Biyomon digivolve to…Birdramon!"
"Palmon digivolve to…Togemon!"
SkullMammothmon cackled as the two blocked the attack.
"When will you ever learn? Stampede Dash!"
He then moved so quickly that he knocked the two of them into a pile of snow.
"Oh, we're in trouble!" Mimi said.
"Digivolve!" Sora yelled.
The evil Mega laughed.
"I think not! As soon as you arrived Ghoulmon sucked up the last of the power of the DigiCores. You can no longer go beyond the Champion stage unless you can DNA digivolve!" he gloated.
"And as we cant do that…" Birdramon moaned.
"We're in a sticky situation." Togemon finished.
They didn't let that stop them as they leapt at the evil elephant.
"Meteor Wing!"
"Needle Spray!"
SkullMammothmon cackled as the attacks hit him.
"Try harder!" he said as he stampeded at them.
The two Digimon were knocked into the icy waters and he turned on the two girls.
"Sora, I'm sorry for what I said!" Mimi said.
"Don't worry, I deserved it. Run!"
He charged at them, and they started to run. But they were much smaller than their massive opponent, and he soon skidded to a stop in front of them.
"Spiral Bone Crusher!"
This time two crimson lights shot out in spiral form from his tusks. The two girls danced out of the way before it hit.
"Hold still while I kill you please." He asked and raised his trunk to crush them.
"Meteor Wing!"
"Needle Spray!"
The two attacks crashed into him and didn't even leave a mark. He then whipped the two down with his trunk, picked up Togemon and started to squeeze.
"No! Let her go!" Mimi shouted.
SkullMammothmon, in response, only stood on top of Birdramon's wing to stop her attacking him.
"Once she's gone, I shall finish the other then come for you two!"
"Run!" Birdramon implored them.
"Don't worry about me!" Togemon shouted in a choked voice.
"No! I wont leave without you! I wont! Togemon!"
A green light then blared out of Mimi's chest and crashed into SkullMammothmon, knocking him away and making him release his captive.
"That's not good!" he shouted.
"Togemon digivolve to…Lillymon!"
The little flower pixie glared at him, and then swooped down.
"Flower Wreath!"
She flew around his feet, tying them all together. As he took a step to avoid her, he toppled over, ploughing up tons of snow. As he collapsed, they heard the ice below him crack.
"Meteor Wing!"
"Flower Cannon!"
Both attacks hit the beast, who snarled as he got back to his feet, skidding as he did so. He then stamped his feet, making the ice rack more, and used his trunk to knock Birdramon out of the sky.
Lillymon was on her own.
"If he cracks the ice, he'll fall in!" Mimi said excitedly.
"But will he do it before he kills our Digimon?" Sora asked anxiously.
"Flower Cannon!"
The bolt hit the beast on the head, but he laughed.
"You're pathetic. Let me show you how its done! Spiral Bone Crusher!"
But before he could attack, he was cut off.
"Giga Blaster!"
"Wolf Claw!"
The two attacks hit his flank. He turned in fury as MetalGreymon and WereGarurumon arrived, and as Tai and Matt rushed towards the girls.
"Sora! Mimi!" Tai yelled.
The three Ultimates faced the Mega, and were then joined by Birdramon.
"Fools."
He then raised his trunk.
"Trunk Cannon!"
A black beam lanced out of his trunk and hit the four Digimon head on, knocking them to the ground.
"They're no match for him!" Tai said worriedly.
"Matt, I'm sorry." Sora said.
"I know. But we have more immediate worries. Birdramon look out!"
It was too late as SkullMammothmon stood on Birdramon, cracking the ice in two and drowning the massive bird in the frigid waters.
"Birdramon!" Sora yelled.
There was then a glow, and she reverted back to Biyomon.
"Sora!"
"HAHAHA! This is what happens when you challenge the Covenant! First she will die, and then all her friends will follow!"
MetalGreymon, WereGarurumon and Lillymon struggled up to their feet.
"Let's get him." Lillymon said.
It was too little, too late as his trunk knocked them all to the ground.
"You cannot destroy me!"
Biyomon was drowning and freezing in the cold water.
"Let me go to her!" Sora cried.
"NO! You'll freeze!" Matt said, keeping a tight grip on her.
"Matt, I love you, but Biyomon needs me more! Let me go!"
And with that she slipped free. And that was when it happened. Sora's crest shone, as did her Digivice.
"That's interesting!" Biyomon said from the water.
"What?" Sora asked in confusion.
"It's things like that that make you wish you stayed in bed." SkullMammothmon moaned.
A punk beam then shot into Biyomon.
"Biyomon warp digivolve to…Phoenixmon!"
Gone was little, pink Biyomon. In her place was a massive, golden flaming bird, that had already melted the ice.
SkullMammothmon was now reduced to a single island, and he didn't look happy.
"Oh Digidoos!"
Phoenixmon: The mega form of Biyomon. She is a Mythical Bird Digimon that rules the skies, and fights evil with her Crimson flame and Starlight Explosion.
"Wow! Little Biyo went to Mega!" Sora said in awe.
Phoenixmon shot up into the sky with a screech and turned to her nemesis.
"Bad move SkullMammothmon. Very bad move indeed."
"Spiral Bone Crusher!"
His attack shot at the bird, but she just flew over it.
"Now you will pay for your crimes. Crimson Flame!"
A massive pure red flame lanced out from her mouth, blowing him up into the air.
"Starlight Explosion!"
Her massive golden wings glowed pure glowing white. She then flapped them. A massive, glowing, multi coloured fireball shot at SkullMammothmon and knocked him flying through the air.
"I'll get you for this Digidestined!" he cried as he cart wheeled through the air towards the icy waters of Freezeland.
Phoenixmon screeched, swept down and picked up the kids, picked up their Digimon, and flew them out of Freezeland, just as they heard a large splash.

SkullMammothmon eventually managed to pull himself out of the freezing water.
"Y-y-y-y-you'll p-p-p-pay f-f-f-for that insolent b-b-b-b-brats." He said, his bones chattering.
He then started the long walk back to Infinity Mountain, to explain that four crests were now active, and another one could now reach Mega at will.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
They landed in Misty Trees, where Phoenixmon reverted back to Yokomon.
"You were spectacular!" Sora said as she hugged her friend.
"I was wasn't I?" Yokomon asked, her eyes twinkling.
Sora then turned to Matt.
"I'm sorry for what I did. And to you Tai." She said.
Tai shrugged.
"We all make mistakes."
"Yeah, yours was getting up." Agumon said cheerily, until Tai clipped his ear.
"What I want to say is…I love you." Sora said.
"And I love you too." Matt said.
And then they kissed.
"Oh, we're all one big happy family again." Palmon said.
"Geez, get a room." Mimi moaned.
They stopped a second later.
"Right, we've got to find the others, find out how our crests are back, and get rid of the Covenant." Matt said.
"Sounds like a plan." Gabumon agreed.
And with that they set off, their relationship better than ever.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Ghoulmon cursed as SkullMammothmon delivered the news.
"This is not good news my friend. However, it is only a minor setback. They cant stop what is to come. And besides, if everyone else does their job correctly, we don't have anything to worry about."
Yes, he thought, they would soon learn exactly who they were dealing with.
Biyomon went to Mega! Hope you liked the chapter. I intend to write another chapter or two of this and Spyro before I go back to Dark Times.
So, what is Ghoulmon's evil plan? Why are the crests coming back? Will anyone else go to Mega? Only time will tell! So, until we meet again, please read and review!
P.S I may be a bit delayed for a while, as I've got prelims this week, which sucks a tad, and I'm doomed on Friday as its the Maths one, but I'll try my best!
