Chapter Thirty Seven: IceDevimon's Trick

"Ophanimon was a fool to waste her powers on the likes of you" Cherubimon said.

"Actually Cherubimon, you're the fool." EmperorGreymon said.

"What?" Cherubimon asked insulted.

"You think you can run the world by yourself, but you're going to destroy it yourself. You're so greedy that you're going to destroy it instead." EmperorGreymon said.

"Don't worry, we're going to stop you before that." MagnaGarurumon said. "

You foolish humans, what do you know about the digital world?" Cherubimon questioned.

"Apparently more than you do, all of us can see: your selfishness is going to destroy the digital world." EmperorGreymon said.

"But with Ophanimon's power behind us, we will stop you" MagnaGarurumon said.

"Whenever you're ready" EmperorGreymon said.

"Then prepaid for you're doom, whatever power you have, you'll never defeat one of the celestial digimons." Cherubimon stated. "Storm of Judgement" Cherubimon said and thunder bolts appeared and fired rapidly and wild. One lightning bolt hit right in front of us.

"That is a little bit too close for comfort." J.P said.

"We have to get the others to safety" MagnaGarurumon said.

EmperorGreymon flew over to us and we all climbed on.

"How about I royal evolve and help?" I asked.

"No it's too dangerous." EmperorGreymon said.

"But I can help" I whined.

"No, neither I nor Koji will allow it" EmperorGreymon said sternly.

"Fine but don't worry about us anymore, I'll take care of it." I said as EmperorGreymon dropped us off. "Okay, I'm counting on you." EmperorGreymon said and flew off. "You still haven't beaten this guy?" I heard EmperorGreymon said.

"What are you going to do?" J.P asked.

"Royal evolve, right Relemon?" I said smirking. Relemon pounced up and down ready to battle.

"Aww it's so cute." Zoe said hugging Relemon. Relemon struggled out of Zoe hold.

"Ex-Cute Royal evolution" I said. Data appeared on my hand with six loops with two large ones making an X. I threw my D-tector up and Relemon jumped in front of the screen and went in to my D-tector. I grabbed the D-tector and scanned the data. D-tector's screen showed Relemon in lines. It then showed Relemon digivolve into Sakuyamon. Sakura petals were place over by body and they merged into black leather. Armor appeared over my skin. I screamed and the chains on the wings shattered, the wings wrapped around me and the armor squeezing the armor into place. The wings then shattered into thousand of Sakura petals. "Sakuyamon"

"Wow" Tommy said.

I smiled. "Crystal Sphere" I said and a crystallite sphere surrounds us. "What's this?" Koichi questioned.

"A Shield." I stated.

"Izuna" I summoned four foxes each carrying an element, one's fire, others is wind, water and lightning. The foxes stood tense ready to attack and defend. Two on either side of us.

"Wow, are these real?" Tommy asked pointing at a fox.

"They are mystical fox spirits imbued with an element." I explained.

"Sakuyamon has pride in her divination skill. She has the role of executing the will of God, and she uses four elemental foxes for attacking and data gathering. She keeps them in tubes on her belt on her waist. When inquiring about the will of God, she changes to her 'shrine maiden form'. It is said in this form, her power to expel malice becomes more powerful." Bokomon explained and went back to cheering for EmperorGreymon and MagnaGarurmon.

MagnaGarurumon fired many missiles with his launcher. After the smoke cleared and MagnaGarurumon appeared in front of Cherubimon and fired at him. He then dumped all his armor and flipped back and sat on EmperorGreymon's shoulder. Cherubimon crashed into the side of the tower. The structure shook. We lost balance and fell backwards. The foxes caught us.

"Are you done yet?" EmperorGreymon asked.

"Never. Storm of Judgment" Cherubimon said as thousands of lightning crashed around. Tommy covered himself and shuddered.

"We're going to smashed to slithering" J.P said. The foxes tensed.

"Not exactly J.P, those thunders are as wild as Cherubimon. There is also this shield. I think we are safer than we think." Bokomon said as a thunder bolt crashed down on the shield. The shield crack. The foxes jumped to the crack.

"Nice shooting, unless you are trying to hit us." EmperorGreymon mocked.

"Are you ready to surrender?" MagnaGarurumon questioned. "This is incomprehensible, that attack should have annihilated you." Cherubimon said.

"What can we say? We're too powerful for you." EmperorGreymon mocked. "

You are too powerful? I was ruling this world even before you feeble creature were even born." Cherubimon said.

"That may be true, but we have the power of Ophanimon and our friends behind us." EmperorGreymon said.

"You don't even know our secret weapon yet." MagnaGarurumon said.

"You only have the power of Ophanimon and you're spirits, and that won't be enough to stop me" Cherubimon said. "Storm of-"Starbrust Hunter" MagnaGarurumon interrupted running through Cherubimon.

"Pryo Dragon" EmperorGreymon said and he stabbed his sword down and eight dragons appeared and attack Cherubimon. The place started to collapse. "Cherubimon" EmperorGreymon shouted.

"Not now, we have to get the others out." MagnaGarurumon said.

"The shield isn't going to hold" I stated as a piece of rock fell on the crack of the shield making the crack bigger. The fox with the fire element charged at it burning the rock away and disappeared. EmperorGreymon appeared and I disperse the shield. I load Bokomon and Neemon on to EmperorGreymon. Zoe climbed on. "What are you two waiting for?" EmperorGreymon asked. "You go first" Koichi said. J.P climbed up and Koichi ran up. The ground under Koichi broke and he fell through the cracks. I turn to see Koichi fall. "Koichi." We shouted and pointed forward and two foxes ran towards Koichi. The foxes where a little way away ready to battle in case Cherubimon appeared before they were safe. MagnaGarurumon grabbed Koichi and helped him up. We drifted from the building. "Look out" Tommy said and smoked and the debris blew us away.

"Nnn…" I said as myself again.

"Is everyone alright?" Takuya asked. Everyone else was dusting themselves off the remaining three foxes disappeared into smoke.

"Yea we're all fine" Koji answered.

"What's no one's hurt? That's a first" Takuya said.

"Well there's a first for everything" I giggled.

"No one's hurt what about me?" Neemon asked, getting a wedgie.

"I'll help you." Patamon said tugging on Neemon's ear. We started to laugh.

"Do you think we defeated Cherubimon?" Zoe asked.

"No. I know Cherubimon, he wouldn't be defeated so easily" Koichi said.

"Well anyway, we destroy his hideout and I bet we did a lot of damage to him. He's probably hiding somewhere licking his wounds" J.P said.

"Thanks to Takuya and Koji" Zoe added. "

Well we couldn't have done it with out you." Takuya said.

"You help us a lot" Koji added. We all started to blush at the praise.

"We just have one more problem." Takuya stated. We sighed. "Don't worry it's not anything, it's just I wonder how we can give you guys back your spirits." Takuya said and his D-tector glowed and so did Koji's then our spirits flew back to our D-tectors.

"Hey I got my spirit back" Tommy said.

"Well I guess they heard what I said and decided to go back." Takuya said.

"Kazemon welcome back." Zoe said.

"Gee Whiz, I never thought I'll be this happy to see something I can't eat." J.P said and we all started laughing.

We sat around talking and waiting in silence having no idea what to do. I was playing with Relemon until Zoe encouraged Koichi to talk to Koji. Just as they were about to talk. Patamon started to scream while Relemon growled.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Something bad is coming." Patamon said.

"Cherubimon?" I asked as ice appeared. Ice spikes appeared. I grabbed Relemon and jumped out of the way. I landed beside Takuya and Koji. I looked up to see IceDevimon.

"Cherubimon sent you to finish us up." J.P accused.

"Cherubimon don't compare me to that weakling" IceDevimon said.

"If you're not with Cherubimon then what do you want with us?" Zoe asked.

"Just destruction and death. You don't want to know." Bokomon answered reading from the book.

"How will I know that before I know" Neemon said. "

You make my brain hurt, just trust me you don't want to know." Bokomon said.

"What?" we all shouted wanting to know.

"Well if you really want to know, IceDevimon went on a rampage over the world. He ate the data of all the digimon's he could get. He was eventually captured, and even Cherubimon couldn't defeat him so he was sentenced to imprisonment without end. Are you happy now, Mr and Mrs. Pushy pants? Wait imprisonment with out end? It seems like it ended to me." Bokomon explained.

"So does the book say anything about where he is?" Tommy asked. "No it doesn't but I'm pretty sure we found it." Bokomon stated

"Well let's un-find it." Neemon said.

"You guys are human right?" IceDevimon said.

"Yea, what's it to ya?" Takuya question standing up.

I stood up and shooed Relemon behind me.

"I just want to express my gratitude to those who freed me from that tiresome prison." IceDevimon said.

"You're welcome" Neemon said hanging on an ice spike getting a wedgie again.

"I didn't know that humans can digivolved to digimons. Do you have tasty data like those other guys?" IceDevimon questioned.

I shuffle backwards to hide Relemon from IceDevimon's view.

"Whatch it, bud." J.P cautioned.

"Those digimons Cherubimon fed me were delicious." IceDevimon said liking his mouth.

"You did that?" I questioned angrily.

"You bettcha, but I wonder if you're data will be sweeter." IceDevimon said licking him mouth with his tongue. I shuddered and pulled back.

"You'll never find out as long as we have a say in it." Takuya said.

"And we do" Koji said they both took out their D-tectors and I reach for mine and drew it out.

"First I must give you a gift for free me." IceDevimon said and three little ice shot out of his finger and it froze our D-tector.

"My D-tector, this is a thank you?" Takuya said pressing buttons. "You're powerful, so I'll save you for last." IceDevimon said. "So I can get rid of the distractions first. This is going to be the most excruciating day of my life." IceDevimon said.

Everyone else spirit evolved while Relemon snuggled to get out of my hold. I grabbed her and try to hide her as much as possible. Beetlemon did Thunder Fist and IceDevimon dodged it. Kazemon used Hurricane winds and missed, Kumamon turned into a spike and IceDevimon grabbed it and licked him. Kumamon started to shiver. Kazemon went to save Kumamon but was capture instead. Beetlemon demanded him to let them go and IceDevimon did.

IceDevimon flapped his wings many times and froze Beetlemon and Kazemon to the ground. Loewemon and Kumamon slide evolve to JagerLoewemon and Korikakumon when IceDevimon refuse to come down and told them to go up and get him. Korikakumon attack IceDevimon with Avalanche Axes but he dodged it.

IceDevimon went down and pick Koji and Takuya up and place a sharp finger on Takuya's head. Everyone else froze. I took Relemon and place her on the floor. "Hey Mr. Vampire emo bat thing." I shouted. IceDevimon glace over to me. I gulp "If I give you my data will you let everyone go?" I questioned.

"Sakura don't" Koji shouted.

"Shut up." I commanded.

"Let's see, a human affected with the X-antibody, this should be a delicious feat." IceDevimon said advancing towards me.

"Sakura" Kazemon tried to reason with me.

"Look, if I'm dead or going to die anyway, then let me do something useful" I stated. "Let them go and I'll hand myself over." I negotiated.

"Sakura don't, this is stupid." Takuya said. IceDevimon put them in a blue sphere.

"I'll let them out when I get my data…Hey haven't I seen you before, long time ago. Seems like you grown up. You escape that time, but I'll still get to you" IceDevimon said. I flinched.

"You have seen me in the digital world before, where do you know where I went?" I questioned.

"Yes, I was going for you when I was captured, but I'll tell you for one thing, seems like you won't give me you're data no more so how about you help me get another one of you're friend's data, if you do that I'll tell you." IceDevimon said.

I looked down and weigh my options: Say no and not get info on my spirit and die or say yes and get info on my spirit for the cost of a friend. I know what I got to do.

"Sakura?" Kazemon asked.

I swallowed and my eyes fogged. "…Give me a weapon…" I said.

"Sakura?" Kumamon asked.

IceDevimon made an ice scythe and hand it to me. I looked over my shoulder with a sadden but evil face. My eye gleamed. "I'm sorry but I'm afraid I'll have to give that up info for now." I said smirking I jumped and twirl the scythe and slash down on IceDevimon's arm. He screamed. The gang smiled.

"Sakura!" Kazemon said.

"I won't hurt my friends, no amount of info can do that" I said as the scythe broke.

"You little brat" IceDevimon said punched me. "I'll be taking you're X-antibody for that" He said and drill his fingers at my stomach. I hunched over and coughed.

"SAKURA!" They shouted as a glowing sphere started to appeared from my stomach. "Let us out" Koji and Takuya shouted.

"O I wouldn't be worrying about you're friend but I think you should be worrying about yourselves." IceDevimon said and drilled deeper. I coughed out blood as a fractal code started to appear.

"Koji" I heard Takuya shout. I look over to Koji tied up and screaming.

"Koji" JagerLoewemon and attack IceDevimon getting his attention. JagerLoewemon charged forward and IceDevimon dodge but JagerLoewemon bit on to my top and yanked me from IceDevimon's hold and charged at the blue sphere the sphere broke and Koji was freed. JagerLoewemon dropped me beside Takuya and Koji. Relemon jumped towards me and started to lick my wounds.

"We got to help." Takuya said. "

No we'll only get in the way. We got to get out of here." Koji said. "Sakura can you stand?"

"I think so" I coughed and tried stand but slipped. "I got you" Takuya said and helped me stand.

JagerLoewemon went and attacked IceDevimon. The fought inside a tornado. Korikakumon freed Kazemon and Beetlemon the two slide evolved to their beast and help defeat IceDevimon. IceDevimon laughed said that he lied about knowing where I was but he did see me before.

Our D-tectors unfreeze. Zoe took some bandage and medicine and cleaned my wounds. I got scold by the group about what I did and had to explain to Takuya and Koji that I was just a mere body. We saw the top of the building where the data is going to changed and we knew what was inside: Cherubimon
