Mukuro: Yeah! 100+ reviews! More than I expected! Let's see how Ren will fare in this fight after one with Riyo.

Digimon: Dawn of the Shadow
Chapter 23: The Climax, Part 3
"So, Ren, you want to fight me, huh?" The giant sentinel said, possibly smirking.
"Yeah, I have to. I can't just let you fight them." Ren said, holding out his digivice.
"Raimon digivolve to V-Raimon!" Raimon said, turning into a large dog.
"So, that's the best you can do after battling Riyo, huh pal?" Ren asked, sweating.
"Yeah, sorry master."
"I tell you, don't call me master." Ren said, frowning.
"So, do you really think that a champion level can defeat me, a mega?" The sentinel asked.
"I can try." V-Raimon said.
"V-Raimon, let's go!" Ren said.
"Fine, if you want to fight me, then perhaps I should be in a more… appropriate form." The sentinel said, shifting its form into that of a humongous sea-serpent.
"This is my true form… my true, unbeatable form, Leviamon!" Leviamon shouted, roaring.
"Wow, that… was unexpected." Ren said, looking up.
"Wave Cannon!" Leviamon shouted, blasting a wave of water towards V-Raimon.
"Ren… I can't… move…" V-Raimon said, before getting drenched by a wave of water, slamming him into the ground and de-digivolving him back to Raimon.
"I know all about your weakness of water, Ren." Leviamon said.
"Darn… I miscalculated…" Ren muttered.
"Now, Lightning-" Leviamon started, but was suddenly silenced.
"Leviamooon~" A voice said.
"Master Mukuramon!" Leviamon said, looking in the air.
"Now, you know I can't have you defeat little Ren here, so just pull back for now." Mukuramon said.
"But, I can end him now…"
"No. He's too powerful to kill right now. We'll need him later." Mukuramon said, the threat thinly veiled in his voice.
"Fine. I'll let you go for now, but next time I see you, brat, you're dead meat." Leviamon said, transforming into a bird and flying off into the distance.
"That was way too close for comfort." Ren said, sitting down.
"WOW!" Sakura shouted, jumping on top of Ren.
"Wow wow wow! That was so cool how you protected me from that large giant!" Sakura said, her eyes shining brightly.
"No… it was nothing… really…" Ren said, trying to push her off.
"But it was so cool how you used your body to shield me…" Sakura said, blushing.
This girl might be fantasizing a bit too much. Ren thought.
"And then when you fought off that dragon with your beautiful steed, it was so romantic…"
Fantsizing nothing, she's delusional. Ren thought.
"I wonder if Lauren's okay." Ren said, walking over to where Lauren was lying down and helped her to her feet.
"Oh, thanks." Lauren said, smiling.
"No problem."
"Gasp! It can't be that you two are like that, can it?" Sakura shouted, pointing an accusing finger at both of them.
"No, we are not like that." Ren said, irritation mark appearing.
"Um, maybe I should go…" Lauren said, running off towards the forest.
"Wait, Lauren!" Floramon said, running after her, with Gulmon following the two of them.
"Great, you chased off one of our allies." Ren said,
"Ren, are you mad at me?" Sakura asked.
"Well…"
"It's okay if you're mad at me… I'm an M anyway…" Sakura said, blushing.
"Where do you learn this stuff?" Ren asked.
"Never mind! So, Ren, where are the two of us going?"
"Well, first off we have to meet with a few friends of mine…" Ren muttered. I am going to look like such an idiot walking back there…
"So, on to Rens' friends!" Sakura said, smiling.
"So, Ren, what are you doing back here so soon?" I asked, looking up from the fire.
"Well…" Ren started.
"And who's the kid?" Ari asked.
"I'm Sakura, Rens' girlfriend. Who are you?"
"I'm Ari. Why?" She asked, frowning.
"What sort of relationship do you have with my Ren?" Sakura asked.
"Ren, can I speak with you for a second?" Ari asked.
"Sure."
"Ren, what exactly happened in the HOUR YOU WERE GONE?" Ari asked.
"Nothing! I just kind of… saved her life, that's all." Ren said.
"I see. Sakura, can we talk for a second?" Ari asked, pulling Sakura towards her for a second.
"Sure."
"How exactly do you view Ren as How exactly do you view Ren as our boyfriend?" Ari asked.
"Oh, it's simple. Ren is the handsome prince who comes to rescue the beautiful princess from the dragon, but when the princess asks for his hand, he becomes quiet and withdrawn due to his shyness, but eventually caves in and agrees." Sakura said, smiling.
"Yeah. No. Ren is quiet for a different reason, one due to how he got here. It has nothing to with shyness, as far as I know."
"Yeah, sure. Just keep your hands off my Ren." Sakura said.
"'Your Ren?'" Li asked. "That's funny. I thought Ren was just Ren! It never occurred to me that someone owned him."
"Yeah, maybe she should get him a collar and take him out for walks!" Kai said, laughing.
"You're just jealous that Ren has a beautiful girlfriend like me." She said, brushing back a lock of brown hair.
"Look, since you guys seem to handle her so well, can I leave now?" Ren asked.
"Wait, Ren! Where are you going?!" Sakura asked.
"Wherever the wind takes me!" Ren said, walking off.
"Well, that was productive." I said.
"Listen, Sakura?" Ari asked.
"Yeah?" She said, turning to Ari.
"I'll help you out in digivolving your partner, Lunamon, and at the same time I'll tell you some things you need to know if you want to get close to Ren." Ari said, bringing her into the forest.
"I don't think this'll turn out well." Marcus said.
"Yeah, what was your first clue?" I asked.
Mukuro: So, the climax chapters are over. I wasn't sure if I could get away with saying THAT WORD in this story, so I just said M. If anyone knows the real word, YOU KNOW. I'm not sure if I should have made Sakura like that or not, but I just decided to stick with it. And Leviamon is going to remain a mystery. I'm also not sure if I should pair Ren and Sakura together or not. You guys tell me if I should.
