Now what you've all been waiting for.

Ch. 23 Sakuyamon vs. Ice Devimon

Matt's POV (because it think it's more fun)

I can see Sakuyamon floating above us facing Ice Devimon staring each other down. Around me everyone was trying to break out of there ice prison after awhile of trying myself I realized it was useless and decided to watch the fight instead.

He was the first to make a move flying at her claws extended. "I've always wondered Rika what is your fear!"

In one motion she blocked his attack with her staff smoothly going into the offensive. She made a sequence of jabs he easily dodged.

"Who the hell do you think you're talking to! I fear nothing, I regret nothing, and I won't be broken again!"

I can hear the younger Tamers cheering her on they have absolute faith in her and as I watch her fight one vicious strike after the other so do I.

Ok normal POV now

The ice demon was getting frustrated with the lack of fear the girl was showing. Of course that's why she has to be mine. He launched spikes of ice that she blocked by spinning her staff at an amazing speed then using it like a sword to slice the iceberg sent her way.

He was playing with her, she knew that, trying to make her think she was putting him in a corner waiting for her to get careless, cocky then it'd be his turn. Henry may be the brains but she was a damn good tactician that's why despite what it might look like she was using as little energy as possible. Let him think I'm getting tired it'll work to my advantage.

"If I delete the fox while in this form it will delete you as well won't it? I'll just have to separate you then." He made a dive toward the priestess digimon who was hovering closer to the ground. "Think of how lovely you'll be when we reach that form together. You and me Rika as one." He extended an arm poised to attack.

The image flashed through Sakuyamon's head distracting her enough for her to take a blow the stomach sending her crashing into wall of ice. She could hear her friends cries of concern but ignored them focusing on not throwing up after that more than a little scary image.

Now is not the time to be distracted.

Easy for you to say! If we lose you aren't the one who'll end up looking like hermaphrodite with fangs and red eyes. I'll sound like a girly man with a manly build but with boobs!

Are you saying that there is a possibility we will lose?

No! But you have to admit the image alone is enough to scar anyone for life.

He's coming!

Damn it!

She jumped out of the way in time to avoid his claw kicking his back sending deeper into the wall then she had reached. Knowing it would take more than that to be rid of him she flew further away while staying right above where she guessed he would emerge from.

He came out of the hole barreling towards her when he got close enough she extended her arm towards him a flash of light blinding him making him hesitate. Her staff was brought down hitting him in the chest another flash of light sent him to the ground.

"It's over now." The ice demon looked up to see her walking towards him he tried to make his escape but another tap from the staff to the ground had glowing chains shooting out from the ground keeping him trapped in midflight.

"Have you ever heard the saying 'If you cage the animal the animal gets angry'?" She was in front of him looking up into his face her voice was her own no longer mixed with her partner's. "When the animal gets free it tends to hurt the one who caged it. Renamon has always understood that I don't do well with restrictions it makes me cranky and she taught me that just because something yields it doesn't make it weak something you never understood." She watched him struggle against her chains then walked away from him.

With her back still to him she continued. "I am what I am because of her." Her grip on the staff tightened she spun around to face him her voice ringing with fury. "And this is the second time you tried to take her from me! For that you will pay! No mercy this time your data will be wiped from the digital world forever there is no chance of you ever coming back!"

She put everything into her final attack. "You wanted ruthless and cold hearted wish granted! I am the Digimon Queen and you will bow before me!"

Swinging her staff dragons of different colors burst forth each snarling swelling with power. The attack hit Ice Devimon full on turning him into data almost immediately. The sound of shattering glass was heard as the teams were released the ice surrounding them disappearing. Henry threw the device given to them by Yamaki to get rid of the evil digimon's data making sure like Rika said he would never come back.

Sakuyamon watched as the data was deleted when the last of it disappeared she sighed letting herself separate from her partner. Once human again Rika felt her legs give out she had used too much energy in the last couple of days. She felt herself land against soft fur.

All I want to do now is sleep I'm so tired.

Then sleep I will be here to protect you.

You should rest too.

I will when I'm sure your home safe.

Home. I want to go home Renamon.

You will soon Rika. It's over we won.

We won. I'm glad I didn't lose you Renamon I don't know how I've lived without you.

Renamon smiled down at her sleeping partner then noticed the worried blonde hovering over her and tried not to laugh.

"She's asleep she has used a lot of energy she needs rest." She said it like she was talking to everyone but most could tell it was mainly for Matt.

"What about you?" the foxed looked at the boy kneeling by her and was amazed by how similar the two humans were even if they wouldn't admit it.

"I'll rest when she's home and safe."

Izzy was the one who spoke this time "Then what do you say we go home?"

Cheers broke out among the group they were going home and everything was finally ok again.

I hope you like this I tried to make it as good as possible. No this is not the last chapter but the next one probably will be we'll see. Review please.
