"Something is afoul in the Digital World this day," I muttered, looking down at the enormous black book laid out in front of me. Beelzemon, my friend and lieutenant, frowned and looked over my shoulder, looking down at the papers through the light of my six weirlights, floating around my shoulders.

"Um…excuse me, Master, but isn't everything foul in this god-forsaken land we call the Dark Realm?" I stared over at Beelzemon and let out a long, low chuckle.

"I'm not talking about the Dark Realm, Beelzemon. I'm talking about the Digital World in general. Myotismon, the Damned, is out there, wrangling an army of the most demonic Digimon in the world, and HaloSeraphimon is doing nothing about it! In fact, he's cut off all relations to us of the Dark Realm, despite the fact that we are among the few Dark Digimon that shall never stand beside Myotismon!" Frowning, I closed the book, the six silver demon eyes on the cover snapping open to watch the book and keep it safe. "I don't understand why HaloSeraphimon would do this to us."

Beelzemon shrugged, rolling his leather-bound shoulders back in exhaustion. "Eh, who can tell, what with that crazy bastard in control these days? I swear, things were better when Azulongmon was in charge, and the other four Sovereign Beasts, and not this Golden Council of Order HaloSeraphimon had cooked up for us."

"The Golden Council may not be perfect…" I started, but I stopped, shaking my head slowly. The Biker Demon beside me smirked, clapping me on the shoulder.

"See, Master PhantomDevimon? Even you can't admit his Council is stable!" I nodded again, stepping away from the large, velvet throne I had been sitting in, and walked back out into the center of the room, Beelzemon right beside me.

"Yeah, but that makes me worry even further, Beelzemon. If the Council is so unstable…why has HaloSeraphimon cut off connection to one of the closest allies to them?" I paused, looking around the room a bit. "It worries me, Beelzemon. With Myotismon growing in strength, and HaloSeraphimon turning a cold shoulder to us…it scares me."

"You, scared? Never, Phantom, it's simply not possible."

My heart skipped a beat, and slowly, I looked up towards the voice. Sitting in the curve of one of the stained-glass windows, silver hair falling down her back, dressed in a dress of shadows, was positively the most beautiful being I had ever known. She was as ruthless as she was tender, as vicious as she was peaceful, as sarcastic as she was sincere. I smiled faintly, my shadowy cloak swirling behind me slightly.

"LadyDevimon. You know it's rude to listen in on conversations that do not involve you." The Fallen Angel Digimon laughed, jumping off the windowsill and landing a ways off from me. Slowly, she sauntered over, her hips swaying ever-so-slightly, until she stood beside me and Beelzemon.

"Oh, come on, Phantom, you know that there is nothing I love more than listening to gossip." I smirked, glad that more than half of my face was hidden under the dark, skull-like mask I wore.

"This isn't gossip, LadyDevimon. We were just talking about how odd it is that HaloSeraphimon has cut off connections with the Dark Realm." LadyDevimon gave me a frown and turned away, a hand on her hip as she looked out the window into the dark sky.

"Oh he has, has he? Well, that isn't too good for us." Smiling, she winked at me and unfurled the two black wings that swirled behind her. "Leave it to me and BlackWarGreymon, Phantom. I'll go to the Light Realm and figure out what all this is! Don't worry, you can trust me with this, right?"

I nodded, slowly, looking down at the ground a bit. "Of course I can trust you, LadyDevimon," I said slowly. The Dark Digimon smiled and placed one of her hands on my shoulder, smiling at me.

"Then don't worry. I'll figure out what's going on!" Smiling, she stepped back and flew up to the window. "I'll be back soon, Phantom!" Without another word, she was gone. I sighed, watching her go into the moon light. However, a certain Dark Digimon, still in the room, tore me from my moment.

"Geeze, it's a wonder one of you hasn't professed love for the other yet! Honestly, do us all a favor, Master, and just tell her you love her!" I shook my head at Beelzemon, walking back to my throne.

"No, I could never do that, Beelzemon. Besides, she's just toying around with me. She doesn't actually love me…" Slowly, I looked up at the Biker. "…Does she?"

Beelzemon shrugged, pulling one of his handguns from his belt and playing around with it a bit. "Who am I to tell you if she is or not? You'd have to ask her yourself, Master PhantomDevimon. Though, I suppose that ship has sailed already."

I frowned, looking back at him. "What do you mean by that, Beelzemon?" The Biker Demon frowned and pointed his pistol at the vase at the far end of the hall.

"Well, she's going to speak to HaloSeraphimon with BlackWarGreymon. Halo has cut off all connection with us, so he obviously sees us as enemies now, which confounds me to no end…but continuing on. If LadyDevimon and BlackWarGreymon, two of your highest-ranking Generals, show up at his front door, he'll assume we're attacking…" Suddenly, he squeezed the trigger of his pistol, firing all twelve shots in the magazine at the vase, shattering it. Sighing, he turned back to me, slipping the handgun into his belt. "…and he'll kill them."

My eyes widened in shock. I had not thought of that. Groaning, I slumped into my throne, my head in my hands. "Ohhh, Beelzemon, what am I going to do? What can I do?" Sighing, I looked up at my friend and shook my head. "A life without LadyDevimon…could be the death of me, my friend."

"Don't worry, there is still hope, Master," Beelzemon said, resting his gloved hand firmly on my shoulder. "LadyDevimon isn't stupid. She'll rest somewhere before travelling all the way. And our closest ally she can stay with is…" My vision cleared, Beelzemon's words seeming more simple to me. Nodding, I stood up and grinned to him.

"The Lady of Ice! Beelzemon, of course! I'll have her stay in the Winter Realm, and I'll go and try and show my love to her." Grinning, I stepped down from my throne, and then shook my head, stepping up to the seat again. "No, no, I can't leave. Love may be important to me, but I am master of the Dark Realm of the Digitial World. I can't just up and leave to chase some fantasy of finding love in the middle of darkness!"

"Oh, like you would be leaving it in incapable hands if you did, Master!" Beelzemon said, smirking. "Myself, SkullGreymon, Phantomon, and Diabolicamon are more than capable of keeping this place safe without you. You need to do this, man. So, go and do it!" I nodded, smiling back at him. Slowly, I stepped back from the throne again, and walked back to the doors of the throne room. Slowly, I looked back at him, and smiled.

"Thank you, Beelzemon." The Biker shrugged and sat down on the arm of the throne, shrugging.

"Hey, no problem, Master. Just go get what your heart desires most in life!" I nodded, walking out into the hall. Once I was far enough away from him, I plucked one of the weirlights from around my shoulders and held it out in front of me. Smirking, I closed my eyes and thought of the coldest, darkest of nights. Instantly, the usually bright purple flame turned icy blue. I grinned, and stared into the depths of the fire.

"Lady WinterNekomon. Are you there? It's your old friend PhantomDevimon…Yeah, yeah, I know we haven't talked in about a month…yes, yes, I understand, but listen…I have a favor I need of you…"
