Author's notes:

This story take place before Digimon Frontier.

Music Suggestion: The Inquest by Larry Groupe.

Rating: T+
Warnings: Language, intense creature violence and dark images, and graphic content. In one of the chapters, I will include an ACTUAL TORTURE SCENE, so, once I get to that chapter, I will place a warning for those who want to skip it.

Also, co-writing this fan fiction with me is Stinfkly3 amd we are tying this to another fan fiction we are writing together called "Revenge of the Virus". It will also become somewhat of a Pokemon crossover, but if your wondering why, you'll have to wait and see. It also has some ties to our Fan Fiction series Pokeology.

Rise of Lucemon Chapter 1

On another world, things appear to be peaceful and alright for its inhabitants. Yet, it won't be like this for long...

There is a feeling of tension in the air of this world...

This world,known as the Digital World, will soon be shattered by the fury of war.

Yet, it has its protectors, known as the Legendary Warriors, who guard this planet and its inhabitants from those who would want to harm and destroy it.

And at this moment, the leader of the Legendary Warriors, known as EmperorGreymon, was training within Lady Ophanimon's castle walls,with AncientGreymon, who was his mentor, as the two of them heard Lucemon, one of the Celestial Digimon, grumble something about lady Ophanimon bring an outside creature to the Digital World. "That creature Lady Ophanimon brought with her from that planet she went to, is going to cause trouble. And why would she bring such a small and pity being here." Lucemon grumbled as he walked past AncientGreymon and EmperorGreymon, who had stopped training and were now listening to what the Celestial Digimon was complaining about. " I wonder what Lady Ophanimon brought back with her that is making Lucemon upset. " AncientGreymon pondered out loud to himself. " I don't know, but maybe we should find out. " EmperorGreymon suggested as the two of them began to walk towards Lady Ophanimon's throne room.

There was a small rodent-like creature in the room. Its fur was very short, and was pale yellow in color. The tips of its large ears were black, and it had additional black markings on its neck and tail. Its tail was short, but still had some resemblance to a lightning bolt shape. It had pouches in its cheeks, which were pinkish colored. Its nose was extremely small, almost like a dot. It also had three spikes at the tip of its left ear.

When the creature saw the two Digimon, it waved at them. "Hi, I'm Sammy!" it said in a feminine voice

" Hello then Sammy, welcome to Lady Ophanimon's castle, and our home. " EmperorGreymon said in a friendly tone to her. Thats when Lucemon walked in, who stared at the new creature with disgust as he scoffed " What in the digital world is this...pathetic creature doing here." EmperorGreymon tensed slightly, not liking the way Lucemon was eying Sammy, as if he was looking for trouble. " Lucemon, is that any way to treat our guest. " AncientGreymon rumbled.

Sammy looked at Lucemon as her left ear twitched. "I was brought here by Ophanimon a while ago," the rodent-like creature said. "Now can you please go away before you do something bad to the this nice place?"

"I would do as she says Lucemon, I have a feeling you don't want to find out what happens if you make her mad. " EmperorGreymon said to Lucemon as he glared at the Celestial Digimon, who finally grumbled at them as he walked off, diseappering down the hallway.

After the meeting, EmperorGreymon approached Lady Ophanimon. " During the meeting, I noticed Lucemon seemed like he was ready to cause trouble with Sammy. Im worried that if he gets to her at any point, he may try to harm her." EmperorGreymon said to Lady Ophanimon with concern in his voice. " Then perhaps, EmpeorrGreymon, you should become her mentor." Lady Ophanimon said to the Legendary Warrior of Flame, who looked at Lady Ophanimon in surprise as he then nodded to her, " I'll accept being her mentor for her time here. "

Later that same night, Sammy had what was to be the worst nightmare she ever had.

In her dream, she could see the figure of two warriors, and they were in the depths of a castle somewhere. Then one of the warriors let out a scream of pain as a sword was used to stab the warrior that was tied up. " Tell me, what do you know of my plans for this world. If you tell me I'll let you live, if not..." the warrior speaking then drove his sword again in the wounded warrior side, making the warrior scream again, but this time, he looked at the warrior torturing him as he growled " I will never betray my fellow warriors so you could complete your twisted plot!"

Yet before Sammy could see any more of the dream, the dream faded away into blackness...

The rodent-like creature woke up in alarm, her left ear twitching crazily. "A dark shadow will betray us!" she squealed in fear.

EmperorGreymon also woke up when he heard Sammy squeal. " Sammy, are you alright? And what do you mean a dark shadow will betray us ?" EmperorGreymon asked in concerned when he noticed how startled Sammy was.

" We have a traitor among us," Sammy explained. "His rise to power will lead to the separation of the Legendary Warriors." Thats when the other Legendary Warriors showed up, hearing the commotion. " Wait a minute, maybe AncientShpynxmon could possibly be the..." KendoGarurumon said as he eyed the ancient spirit of darkness, as did the other warriors.

"What?" AncientSphinxmon asked in alarm. "I would never betray any of you!" " Guys, AncientSphinxmon is right. We've known him long enough that he never do such a thing!" EmperorGreymon said as he stood infront of AncientSphinixmon, putting himself between the other warriors and the ancient spirit of darkness. " If there is a traitor among us, we need to work together to try to figure out who it is as a team, not go at each others throats!" EmperorGreymon growled at his fellow warriors. "But what if the yellow creature is right?" AncientMermaimon asked. "And AncientSphinxmon will betray us?" " AncientSphinixmon maybe be the traitor, or he may not be. But if Sammy is right, we need to keep an eye on the castle and each other to make sure that we are in touch with each other so we know what is going on, and to alert the others if we find the traitor." AncientGreymon told AncientMermiamon.

With that, every one left the room, except for EmperorGreymon, AncientGreymon, AncientSphinxmon, and Sammy.

" Don't worry AncientSphinxmon, we'll find the real traitor and prove that your not the traitor Sammy was talking about. " EmperorGreymon said reassuringly to the ancient spirit of darkness, as Sammy also was gonna help out as well.
