Sakuyamon looked to the window again and found something moving in the shadows. She heard a light, but heavy footfall behind her and she turned. Thankfully, it was only Beelzemon dismounting Behemoth. Sakuyamon rushed up and embraced him.

"You're okay!" she exclaimed.

"Yeah, but these weak humans have invaded my home. I won't let 'em get away with it".

Sakuyamon released him. "Don't kill them".

"I'll try not to. But if they harm you in anyway" Beelzemon flashed his claws, "I'll destroy 'em".

"We have a home to defend".

"Shall we?".

"Yes, let's".

Behemoth was left outside when Sakuyamon and Beelzemon stormed the castle. He made his way to Gatomon, who was shouting commands.

"How we doin'?" he asked.

"We stand on the bridge between victory and defeat, Beelzemon".

"How?".

"The minority humans have been chased off successfully, but that one Ryo guy...".

"What about him?".

"He managed to get away from us. I think he's looking for you. LEFT FLANK, STOP SLACKING! Gabumon, what am I paying you for?!".

"Umm…you aren't?".

"Well, still, stop slacking. We're at war here!".

"Yes ma'am" Gabumon saluted.

"You better go. We can handle things down here. You have your own sanctuary to defend" she turned to Beelzemon.

"Thanks Gatomon, you rock".

"It's my job, Beelzemon. Now hurry. Azulongmon only knows what Ryo could be planning".

Beelzemon took Sakuyamon's hand.

"Come with me" he said, "To battle".

Sakuyamon nodded. "I will".

"Thank you".

The two headed to the west wing, where Ryo and Cyberdramon were waiting.

"So…you've betrayed us, Renamon. What's Rika gonna think of this?".

"I have betrayed no one".

"Then you wanna explain why you're with him?".

"She's with me 'cause she has a loyalty to this place and to me" Beelzemon was more than glad to answer.

"Fine, we'll take both your data".

Ryo and Cyberdramon biomerged to become Justimon and took on both of them. He was able to outdo Sakuyamon and tried to destroy her for her data, but everything happened in a heartbeat.

Beelzemon covered her body with his own and took the deadly hit for her.

"Beelzemon…why?".

He didn't answer her immediately. Rather, he tripped Justimon with his tail, managed to stand, and threw the mega leveled Digimon off the balcony. When he was sure they were gone, Beelzemon fell to the ground and Sakuyamon came to his side.

"Why?" she asked, trying to fight back tears.

Beelzemon managed a weak smile. "Because guys do crazy things…for the ones they love. I'm sorry to be leavin' ya like this, but hey…we had fun…right?".

"Please…please don't die on me" Sakuyamon dedigivolved back to Renamon.

"We'll be alright…don't worry. I know we'll be okay. Just have faith. Renamon…I owe you everything. For thousands of years I was plagued by the dark" he shifted a little in pain, "It was my destiny, so I was told. Nothing else mattered but that. Then I…met you and Rika…everything changed. I fell in love with you Renamon…when I never ever believed I could. Just have faith, promise me you will".

Renamon nodded, to tearful to speak.

"Thanks…never lose it. And never forget it…I love you, Renamon…my vulpine goddess".

With that all said and done, the Demon Prince of the Dark passed on…in the arms of the one he loved.

"Please don't go…I…" Renamon struggled to say it, so she kissed the demon lord's head "I love you too".
