Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ Ancient Warriors ❯ A Chilling Reception ( Chapter 10 )

Ch.10

Three tall digimon stared with hatred at the large dark digimon that stood before them. Cherubimon sneered. "Celebrate when you can, for I will destroy you and take your spirits," he laughed.

"You're a fool Cherubimon," EmperorGreymon shouted.

"What!" Cherubimon roared. "You think that you will rule over the Digital World by yourself, but you will destroy it instead," MetalAngelicmon said angrily.

"Your selfishness will be your downfall, but thankfully with our friends and Ophanimon's power backing us, we will defeat you," MagnaGarurumon said.

"You will pay for that insult you whelps! Storm of Judgement!" Cherubimon raised his arms as the streaks of red lighting rained down. The three digimon easily dodged the attack, but one bolt nearly fried the group on the roof!

"Uh, guys! That was a little too close for comfort," Acqua shrieked as she looked at the gaping hole where the bolt had stuck.

"Takuya! Take the others to safety! Koji and I will take care of Cherubimon," MetalAngelicmon shouted and EmperorGreymon answered," Right." He flew off and Cherubimon sneered as he watched. He opened his mouth and let loose a blast of energy. Just as it was about to hit EmperorGreymon, MagnaGarurumon jumped into front of it. Cherubimon laughed for he thought that MagnaGarurumon was destroyed, but then his eyes widened as the smoke cleared. MagnaGarurumon smirked as he emerged from the smoke unscratched.

"Don't be so quick to gloat, with your friend gone, it will be easy to destroy you both," he smirked but then a voice shouted," Purified Javelin!" A bright white javelin streaked through the air and sliced a thin cut across Cherubimon's wrist. MetalAngelicmon smirked as she watched Cherubimon roaring in pain. He spun around and roared," Lighting Spear!"

"MetalAngelicmon's smirk remained in place as she shouted," Purified Reflection!" A shining sliver crest shield appeared with a mirror like surface and she held it in front of her. The shield absorbed the red bolt and it shot out as a white bolt and struck Cherubimon.

"You guys should be safe up here," EmperorGreymon said as his friends climbed down.

"Just be careful Takuya," Lance said as EmperorGreymon answered," I'll do my best, which as we all know is awesome!" As he flew off Tommy shouted," Give him one hit for me." Bokomon said," and two hits for me." EmperorGreymon got back to see that Cherubimon was still there.

"What, haven't you guys already beaten him," he asked in surprise and MagnaGarurumon said," not quite." Cherubimon at that moment spat out another blast of energy.

"And that's why!" MetalAngelicmon shouted as the three of them managed to dodge the attack.

Meanwhile on top of the roof, everyone was worriedly watching the explosions taking place down below. Lance and Acqua were greatly worried because they knew that MetalAngelicmon was really two people, Raze and Mercuremon. Bokomon and Neemon were playing cheerleader until they heard EmperorGreymon shout," Trying to concentrate here!" Kouchi thought, "I should be fighting. I have to do some good to make up for all the evil that I have down." Zoe noticed that Kouchi was in deep thought and made a mental note to ask him about it.

"You will perish before no matter how powerful you are! Lighting Spear!" Cherubimon yelled as he hurled yet another bolt at them. The three easily dodged it.

"Actually, perishing is your job! Dragon Fire Crossbow," EmperorGreymon shouted as he pulled out his sword and it transformed into a crossbow. A beam of fire shot out of it and slammed into Cherubimon who gave a roar.

"Magna Missiles!" MagnaGarurumon shouted as Cherubimon reeled back in pain. "Barrel Blast! Magna Rockets!" Cherubimon opened his eyes to find that now MagnaGarurumon was now in front of him. A huge blast echoed and MagnaGarurumon flipped backwards without his armor and landed on EmperorGreymon's shoulder. Cherubimon was hurled backwards into the wall of the castle.

"Do you think we got him," MetalAngelicmon asked and they heard Cherubimon's voice roar," Never!"

"Good, cause we're ready to fight some more," EmperorGreymon shouted as the three of them landed a good few feet in front of Cherubimon.

He pulled himself out of the rubble and roared at them. " You are done for! Storm of Judgment!" The bolts rained down yet again.

"We're going to get fried if we stay here," JP shouted and Bokomon replied," Actually, you can notice that Cherubimon's attacks are unfocused like he's fighting scared, we might actually safer then we have ever been!" At that moment, however, a bolt nearly struck him.

"Good shot, that is if you trying to hit us," MetalAngelicmon smirked as the three of them stood unharmed from the attack.

"This is incomprehensible! My attack should have annihilated you," Cherubimon roared in rage.

"Admit it Cherubimon! We're too powerful for you," EmperorGreymon shouted.

" You haven't even figured out our secret weapon yet. Your powerful, that is true, but you're all alone. We have our friends by our side," MagnaGarurumon explained in a voice that dripped with sarcasm.

"Don't be fools! Your power only comes from the spirits and Ophanimon's essence! I will crush you! Storm of," Cherubimon snarled in anger as he readied his attack.

"Star Burst Attack," MagnaGarurumon howled as he streaked forward and struck Cherubimon a painful blow.

"Heaven's Judgement," MetalAngelicmon yelled as her silver lance appeared in her hand and lighting streaked down to collect on the tip. She then pointed it at Cherubimon and a huge lighting spear shot out and hurled him backwards.

"Pyro Dragons," EmperorGreymon roared as he slammed his sword into the ground. A pinwheel of fire appeared around his. Each of the lines then rose up to reveal that they were dragonheads! A lump appeared beneath the warrior of fire and he leaped up to reveal an even bigger head! The heads reared up and streaked at Cherubimon. He gave a howl and disappeared in a cloud of dust. The others yelled in terror as the castle wobbled dangerously.

"Cherubimon," EmperorGreymon yelled and MagnaGarurumon prevented him from charging forward.

"No Takuya! We have to save the others," he yelled. They flew up to where they had placed the group. Lance and Acqua leaped into MetalAngelicmon's arms. The others, except Kouchi, were already in EmperorGreymon's arms. Kouchi charged forward when the ground beneath him collasped! He gasped and began to fall before an arm grabbed his. He looked up to the see the narrow face of MagnaGarurumon. They soon were all in the air looking down at the collapsing castle.

"You think Cherubimon has been defeated," Lance asked and MetalAngelicmon shook her head.

"It's never that easy," she said when Tommy suddenly shouted," Look out!" A great blast of smoke slammed into them.

Patamon could be seen on the ground coughing from the smoke when suddenly Takuya burst out from the rubble. "Ow my head, that's the only part of me that isn't hurting." He looked up to see the others dusting themselves, except that a shaky Raze was being held up by Mercuremon, and Neemon was stuck up on a pillar of rock. "Everyone alright?"

"Yup," Koji said as he readjusted his bandana.

"What about me," Neemon whined and everyone laughed as they watched Patamon attempt to free Neemon. No one noticed the small fire that sprouted from a hole and suddenly ice began to grow from it. A pair of red eyes stared at the laughing group and a voice said," ah! Fresh meat!"

"So how are we going to return your spirits," Takuya asked just as the D-tecters lit up and the spirits came flying out and went back to their owners.

"So, where do you think Cherubimon is," Lance ask as he dusted the last bit of dirt on his shirt.

"Probably off somewhere licking his wounds and maybe his ego," JP smirked as everyone laughed again except for Kouchi. His thoughts were interrupted as Zoe stood in front of him.

"Looks to me like you got a lot on your mind," she asked and he sighed. "Ah come on, were all friends here right?" Kouchi got a determined look on his face and approached Koji. Everyone stared, including Lance who had been bothering Raze until Mercuremon threatened to bean him with one of his shields, as Kouchi asked," Um, Koji?"

"Yeah," Koji asked curious and Kouchi answered," what I wanted to say was."

"Yeah, go on," Koji pushed and as Kouchi was about to answer, Patamon's scream shot through the air.

"What are you screaming about," JP yelled, as Patamon was perched on his head screaming.

"Something's coming!" Patamon yelled and everyone gasped," Cherubimon!?"

Raze, suddenly alert, shouted," beneath us!" Everyone looked down as they saw ice beginning to spread. Lance and JP fell over as a pillar of ice sprang beneath their feet, it was the same with Raze, Koji, and Takuya. They landed some feet away and a large shadow fell over them. They looked up to see a white devil looking digimon. "IceDevimon!"

"Did Cherubimon send you to finish us off," Takuya yelled.

"Cherubimon? Ha, I wouldn't compare myself to that weakling," IceDevimon sneered

"Oh great not him again," Acqua shouted as she looked at him and Lance nodded.

"What!? What's the big deal about him," Tommy asked panicked as IceDevimon laughed at them.

"Oh trust us, you really don't want to know," Mercuremon, Raze, Lance, Acqua, and Bokomon said at the same time.

"Come on what!" JP insisted and Raze glared at him.

"If you really want to know, IceDevimon went on a rampage long ago, destroying digimon and eating all the data me could get his hands on. He was finally captured and since he was too powerful even for Cherubimon to control, he was sentenced to imprisonment without end. Now are you happy Mr. PushyPants," Bokomon said.

"You guys are humans are you not," IceDevimon asked and Koji shot back," yeah, so what!"

"Hold your tongue little creature, I just want to express my gratitude to those who freed me from that tiresome prison," IceDevimon laughed.

"Well, your welcome," Neemon said and everyone glared at him. "Oops."

"You know, I never knew humans could turn into digimon. Do you have tasty data like those others? Yummy," IceDevimon said as he licked his lips.

Meanwhile the gears in Raze's head were ticking when she realized something.

"The data of those digimon that Cherubimon destroyed was so sweet," IceDevimon continued.

"So are you telling us that it was you, who destroyed those digimon," Raze shouted as her hand strayed toward her D-tecter.

"You betcha, and now I have a gift for those who freed me," IceDevimon smirked as three beams of ice shot from his finger and hit Raze's, Takuya's, and Koji's D-tecters. They could only watch in shock as their D-tecters froze!

"Hey! You call this a gift," Takuya yelled as he struggled to thaw his D-tecter.

"You three are powerful, so this guarantees that we get a good fight after these distractions have been eliminated," IceDevimon said as his gaze went to the others.

"Listen, the only person around here who's going to get eliminated is you," Zoe said as she pulled out her D-tecter. "Spirit Evolution!"

"Kazemon!"

"Beetlemon!"

"Kumamon!"
"Lowemon!"

"Tsunamimon!"

"Hayabusamon!"

"Lets get this goon you guys," Hayabusamon yelled as he charged forward.

"Thunder Fist!"

"Hurricane Wind!"

"Shadow Wheel!"

"Tidal Wave Strike!"

"Lighting Slash!"

IceDevimon easily avoided the attacks and as Kumamon shouted," Frozen Tundra!" he grabbed Kumamon and licked him!

"Eww! That guy is nasty," Tsunamimon yelped.

"Tommy," Kazemon shouted as she rushed forward to help, but IceDevimon caught her.

"Your look of fear makes you look so much prettier," he sneered as he tightened his grip.

"Let them go," Mercuremon shouted from where he had been forced to stand for he had little offensive abilities in his human spirit.

"As you wish," IceDevimon snickered as he released both Kumamon and Kazemon. "Now, how to make your suffering longer? Ah! I know! Trust me your going to love this." He flapped his wings and the group shielded their eyes from the stinging wind." Beetlemon, Kazemon, Tsunamimon, and Hayabusamon soon discovered that they were frozen from the waist down and were stuck! "Now I can destroy one by one and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it!"

"Crystal Breeze!"

"Shadow Lance!"

IceDevimon dodged the attacks of Kumamon and Lowemon and shouted to them," very well then, if that's the way you want it! Let us begin your beautiful destruction!"

"Come on down and fight," Lowemon shouted back and IceDevimon shook his head.

"I got a better idea, you come to me," he sneered back.

"Right," the three unfrozen replied.

Slide Evolution!

"KaiserLeomon!"

"Korikakumon!"

"Sakka kumon!"

"We must stop him now," Korikakumon roared as he jumped into the air. "Avalanche Axes!" IceDevimon easily avoided the attack.

"Ebony Blast!"

KaiserLeomon's was blocked. Sakkakumon fired off a combination of attacks, but that failed too.

"This is no fun at all, your attacks are boring me," IceDevimon yawned when he looked down and suddenly grinned. He flew down to where Raze, Koji, and Takuya were still struggling to try and thaw out their D- tecters. They yelled in surprise when IceDevimon grabbed them and held one of his claws close to them. Sakkakumon, Korikakumon, and KaiserLeomon froze. "Ha, I knew you were the kind that wouldn't attack if their friends would get hurt. So I propose a little game. Let's see how much cold these guys can handle and how much you are willing to let them freeze." IceDevimon placed them on the ground and a blue bubble surrounded them.

"Fight you coward," Kazemon yelled from where she and Beetlemon where still stuck.

"Coward? A coward runs from pain, but I embrace it," IceDevimon snickered as he smacked away the others.

"You let us out and we'll give you a real fight," Takuya yelled and IceDevimon smirked back," Oh, you already have a fight." Koji noticed the tendrils of ice that were creeping up on them and he pushed Takuya away. Raze noticed too late and the ice snagged her, Koji snagged as well. They yelled in pain as the grip of the ice tightened.

"Koji," KaiserLeomon moaned as he watched his twin brother being in great pain.

"Raze," Sakkakumon muttered as he watched his beloved yelling in agony.

"What a beautiful sound. That's what you get for trying to save your friends," IceDevimon grinned as he watched the two yell. Suddenly a voice roared," Ebony Blast!" Another shouted," Atomic Inferno!" IceDevimon didn't even flinch as the attacks hit him in the back. He turned to see that KaiserLeomon was glowing a furious purple while Sakkakumon was glowing an icy gray.

"Let's see how you face me," KaiserLeomon snarled as he sprang for IceDevimon. IceDevimon jumped aside and KaiserLeomon slammed head on into the ice bubble. Raze and Koji fell weakly to the ground while Takuya looked over them worriedly. Raze managed to get on her knees, but Takuya had to help Koji up.

"I hope that your ready for the fight that is to come, for it's going to be your last," IceDevimon laughed as he glowed black.

"We have to fight," Takuya yelled but Raze shook her head.

"We'll only be in the way," Koji muttered," we have to get out of here." Takuya managed to drag him to safely while Raze basically had to crawl.

KaiserLeomon had jumped for IceDevimon again, but IceDevimon created a whirlwind of ice and the group could see the shadows of the two battling inside. It didn't take long before KaiserLeomon was hurled out. IceDevimon smirked as he watched KaiserLeomon struggle to get to his feet.

"KaiserLeomon," Korikakumon said worriedly, but KaiserLeomon shook him off.

"Free the others," he snarled.

"But," Korikakumon was about to argue until KaiserLeomon shouted," Now!" Korikakumon nodded and walked off to free the four who had been frozen. IceDevimon reached out to stop him, but suddenly Sakkakumon wrapped around him like a strange snake and began to squeeze. IceDevimon struggled to free himself, but Sakkakumon refused to let go. The others had been freed by now and had evolved to their beast spirits. Korikakumon let loose a breath of ice while SpikeSeadramon and Zephyrmon strengthened the ice. SpikeSeadramon shot froth water that wrapped around the ice breath while Zephyrmon whirled around and caused the small breath to get larger. Sakkakumon released his grip on IceDevimon.

"You think that cold is going to stop me," IceDevimon smirked as he watched the ice spread around him, suddenly he noticed MetalKabuterimon and StormDragamon standing in front of him. "No way!"

"Think this might stop you? Electron Cannon," MetalKabuterimon roared and StormDragamon roared," Lighting Needles." Red cracks began to form all over IceDevimon.

"No way! I'm cracking up," he howled in fear.

"Dark Master," KaiserLeomon howled as he rushed forward covered in a shadow in the shape of a lion and he punched right through IceDevimon. IceDevimon yelled as his fractal code appeared. KaiserLeomon slide evolved back into Lowemon. "IceDevimon, your evil data has been long in need of this purification! Fractal Code Digitize!" He scanned up IceDevimon's code and then collasped in exhaustion.

"Well, I have to saw after that Kouchi, you are definitely one of us. You to Mercuremon," Takuya grinned.

"Yeah, welcome to the party," Korikakumon added and suddenly a wind blew across them. They cried out as the stinging sand hit their eyes.

"Hey what's that," StormDragamon suddenly roared pointing with one claw. They saw the top of the castle floating in the distance and they watched as it burst and changed. They could hear a rather familiar laughing echoing from it.

"I'll give you guys three guesses," MetalKabuterimon said darkly as he looked at it.

"I just need one, it isn't over yet guys," Takuya shouted.
