[File Island] The Wrath of the Snowmon

[Android 17]

Xander awoke to the sound of DemiDevimon beating him in the face with his wings. Issuing his discontent with a low moan, the youth swung weakly at his companion. The bat Digimon squeaked playfully and bit down on his partner?s hand, brining Xander to full attention a scream later. Bolting of the cold ground, the man brushed the snow and dirt from his hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans. He took a moment to survey the surrounding area and realized that both DemiDevimon and he had fallen into a strange, underground cavern.

?Where are we now, DemiDevimon?? Xander asked, overriding the fear of the situation with an overdose of his all to latent curiosity. The free-floating bat creature did another playful back flip and motioned towards the ceiling. Xander looked up, realizing they had fallen about two stories, and that escape was so close, yet so far away, ?anyway out of here?? The human asked again, raising his eyebrows and contorting his mouth into an uneasy smirk.

?Nope,? DemiDevimon said, without a single care in the world, ?I haven?t really traveled to these parts since the legends, you know, talk about the giant snowman that rules this land. You remember him? He was the one who just made us look like little noobs back there,? Xander flashed his companion a playful grin. The man was amazed at the dry humor the Digimon was displaying. Actually, it was the same sardonic wit that Xander was so prone to dish out upon his brother, Tidus.

?Well then,? Xander said, patting the hovering bat on his skull tattoo, ?before we get ?pwned? by another snow monster, we should get a move on,? DemiDevimon bobbed his body, and his fang-filled mouth curled up into a smile. Xander swatted a few shards of ice away from his boots and led the way down the only pathway he could see. Although the chamber was relatively calm, within a few minutes, the fa?ade was cast away. Another howling roar exploded through the icy catacombs, causing the path the duo of human and Digimon had just traveled to cave in on itself. Both Xander and DemiDevimon let out sighs, and then they started scampering down the path in fear of whatever was screaming. Their charge brought them to a wide, underground spring. In the center of the high room, a frozen lake sparkled oddly.

?Seems calm enough,? DemiDevimon thought aloud. As if luck itself was out to mess with the duos head, the comment triggered another ungodly roar to pierce the confines of the wide room.

OOC: Post whoring, away!
