[File Island] The Wrath of the Snowmon

[Android 17]

Xander and DemiDevimon turned to the origination of the enraged cry. Behind them, the frozen wall of the cave exploded outward, throwing the duo across the cavern and onto the solidified lake. The pair of human and digital creature?s wide-eyed gazes quickly began moving from one another to the splintering ice beneath them. Without a word, they rolled away from each other and started crawling on their hands and knees across the partially broken ice. Before they could escape the confines of the lake, their assailant landed in front of them. Letting out overlapping yelps of surprise, both Xander and DemiDevimon quickly push their bodies away from the attacker until they realized his identity. At only three feet tall, the stout dinosaur was far less intimidating then the massive snowman the adventuring duo had previously encountered. With a body covered in taut, white skin, the beast flexed its tiny hands and legs and shot blue fire into the air from its mouth.

?SnowAgumon!? It cried loudly, making its identity known to both Xander and DemiDevimon, ?and for entering my dominion, you shall suffer!? The blue mini-dino unleashed a small torrent of fire in Xander?s face, both chilling his skin and reddening it. The human cried out, unsure how to react to the dual sensations dealt upon him. DemiDevimon, angered that his new buddy had been assaulted, attacked the small reptile. After inhaling, the flying Digimon unleashed his patented ?demi-dart? directly into SnowAgumon?s face. The minute tyrannosaurus cried out in surprise as the attack sent him sprawling across the ice chamber and into the far wall. Capitalizing on his startled opponent, DemiDevimon exploded forward, slamming directly into the frosty dinosaur?s sternum. SnowAgumon stumbled backwards, but then he retaliated by brutally slamming his three-clawed hands across the bat?s forehead. DemiDevimon squeak angrily, but the force sent him back into the chest of Xander, negating any chance of a counterattack.

The startled human stumbled backwards for a few steps before completely losing his balance and falling back onto the frozen lake. Although the large pond?s shield of ice cracked and sighed beneath the weight, it stood strong. Taking the initiative, SnowAgumon leaped into the air in preparation of dealing the final blow. Xander, still holding DemiDevimon against his chest, jumped up and dove beneath the high-flying dinosaur. Spinning as they landed on the partially iced path around the perimeter of the lake, DemiDevimon unleashed a final demi-dart. This projectile crashed into the airborne tyrannosaurus, sending him crashing down to the splintering pool of ice. Beneath the impact, the frozen pond imploded, and SnowAgumon was lost in the dark blue unknown. Before the duo could relish their possible victory, a horrific rumbling shook the cavern. Across the pond, the icy wall collapsed, revealing a solitary beam of light?signifying a new path to the surface.

?Let?s get a move on,? Xander said, rushing around the large pond and making his way to the new opening with DemiDevimon in tow.
