I'm having a block with the Digimon Overlord right now. Even if I didn't, I can't find the file that had the next chapter. Anyway, while trying to find the file, I thought another story. So I figured to get started on it before someone else does.

The Demons are Watching

In a world deep within the Dark Ocean, isolated from the Digital and Human Worlds, a dark figure watches through a mirror. But not just any dark figure, it was a digimon!

"Ugh, the peace and tranquility…Sickening!" scoffed the digimon.

This digimon was incredibly beautiful, and she looked more human than anything else. She wore a lot of black with a purple scarf draped around her arms. The only thing that was out of the ordinary was her right arm. It was a decayed claw that remained hidden in the scarf. This was Lilithmon, the Demon Lord of Lust. She was watching the Human World through a mirror, and she wasn't pleased.

"I'd rather watch soap operas than this trash!" she grunted as she smashed the mirror with her claw.

"Hey! What's with the smashing, Lilithmon?" asked a gruff sounding voice.

A digimon dressed like a biker approached her. He wore all black with a red scarf on his right arm. He had sharp claws and red eyes to compliment his arrogant smile. This was Beelzemon, the Demon Lord of Gluttony.

"What do you want now, Beelzemon?" Lilithmon snapped at him.

"Nothing. Just wanted to see what got my little beauty upset," Beelzemon teased her as he put his arms around her neck.

Beelzemon had a crush on Lilithmon, but unfortunately for him, Lilithmon wouldn't even give him the time of day.

"Darkness Love!"

Lilithmon blew a kiss, which confused Beelzemon on the spot.

"Lay off, you pig!" she exclaimed as she struck him with her claw, sending him flying a few feet away.

Beelzemon got up, holding his jaw. The effect of Lilithmon's Darkness Love wore off quickly. He was hit by it so many times that he built a little immunity to it.

"Man, love hurts…" he groaned.

"Will you nimrods stop this idiotic behavior!?" yelled another voice.

A digimon in a robe appeared, holding an evil looking staff. This was Barbamon, the Demon Lord of Greed.

"Demon Lords don't act like rookie digimon! The both of you disgracing us," he said as approached the two.

"Oh, shut up, you old fart!" Beelzemon snapped.

"Go bother someone else, Barbamon. We don't have time to hear what an old coot like you have to say," Lilithmon followed up.

"To have the chance to be as young and feisty again," Barbamon chuckled.

"Even if you were young again, you'd still be a smelly windbag," said a snarling voice.

Something suddenly burst into the scenery. It was a giant red crocodile with a long snout, two whipping whiskers at the end, and a tail that was split into two. This was Leviamon, the Demon Lord of Envy.

"Shouldn't you be out eating a Whamon?" Barbamon teased the giant digimon.

"Don't remind me. I'd rather be out at sea, eating any little digimon that I can snap up out of the briny deep! Why couldn't they have sealed away some other sea digimon? Why just me?" Leviamon snarled.

"Geez, Leviamon. Out of all of the Demon Lords, you're the only one who takes his signature sin way too far," Lilithmon gloated.

"Yeah, you may represent envy, but no need to be such a good student at it," Beelzemon agreed.

"Shut up or I'll eat you both!" Leviamon roared.

"Really? I've woken up just in time to see this!" said another snarling voice.

A giant digimon appeared. He was a hairy beast, somewhat like a hybrid between a bear and a goat. Chains were tied around his giant arms as he floated on giant wings. This was Belphemon, the Demon Lord of Sloth.

"Well, well! The baby's thousand-year nap is finally over. And he's in his Rage Mode too!" Barbamon cackled like the old man he was.

"Barbamon…" Belphemon snarled, instantly making Barbamon clam up.

Belphemon was incredibly ferocious, so the other Demon Lords respected him out of fear, except for one: the Leader.

"I'm up and ready for some destruction. So when can we go and attack the Digital and Human Worlds?" Belphemon asked as he cracked his knuckles, which was surprising since he had claws.

"As soon as Daemon is finished with his punishment," answered Beelzemon.

"Punishment?" Belphemon questioned.

"That's right, you've been asleep all of this time. Daemon went to the Human World without the boss's permission. And what made it worse was that he lost to such inferior digimon," answered Leviamon.

"Is that so? Daemon was never much of a team player, at least to my knowledge anyway," Belphemon said, scratching his head.

"I hope his punishment will be even more intense than his crime! I'd like to have a go at him myself," Beelzemon said as he put up his dukes.

"If you listen carefully, you'll hear everything that's going on," Barbamon suggested.

So the digimon kept quiet for a moment until they could hear screaming, followed by zapping and slashing sounds. The scream echoed, bringing delight to the other Demon Lords. They listened more closely, until they heard someone yelling an attack name.

"Divine Feat!"

The scream was louder. Apparently, Daemon, the Demon Lord of Wrath, was chained facedown to the ground. And he was being tortured by the attack a digimon with a surprising look. It was an angel digimon who looked like a young boy. It was Lucemon, the Demon Lord of Pride. Lucemon was using his Divine Feat, a sword made of energy, and he was slashing at Daemon's back.

"Lucemon, please…Have mercy!" Daemon begged.

"Demon Lords don't beg for mercy! Not even to me!" Lucemon shouts as he hit Daemon with another Divine Feat.

"Lucemon, I didn't mean for those kids to beat me!" Daemon groaned.

"Still begging? Where is your pride!?" Lucemon attacked again.

Barbamon appeared behind Lucemon.

"Lucemon, don't you think you should digivolve, so you can really punish this pitiful excuse of a Demon Lord? Besides, only in your Chaos Mode are you really the Demon Lord of Pride," the wizard asked.

"You question my methods, Barbamon? Maybe I should digivolve so I can punish you instead!" Lucemon threatened, sending fear into Barbamon.

"No, no. I'm originally here to tell you that Belphemon's awake. So we're ready to move out on your orders," Barbamon said as he knelt down.

"Good. Tell the others to get ready to depart for the Digital World. Daemon's going on a different mission," Lucemon told the wizard.

"Yes, sir," Barbamon replied and then disappeared.

Lucemon turned his attention back to Daemon, snapped his fingers, and the chains disappeared. Daemon was freed from his tormentor.

"Rise, Demon Lord of Wrath!" Lucemon commanded.

Daemon struggled to his feet as he arched forward. He slowly turned around to face Lucemon, groaning with each move he made.

"Daemon, I'm gonna send you on an easy mission. I want you to go to the Human World and destroy the kids who hold the power of Hope and Light,"

"The kids of Hope and Light?" Daemon questioned.

"Yes, destroying them means that you would destroy the power that keeps my powers at bay! With them out of the way, I can digivolve in the Human World and cover it in the darkness of the Dark Area, understand?" Lucemon glared at the cloaked digimon.

"Yes, I'll leave at once," Daemon replied and then disappeared.

Lucemon smiled deviously as he looked onto the horizon of the dark world.

"Daemon, you better succeed. If you come back to me in failure, then you'll die," he said to himself with an evil grin.
