"Duskmon? Are you sure about this, Nanimon?" Cherubimon asked.

"There's no mistaking it; crimson sword, black armor covered in eyes," Nanimon said. "But it gets even weirder; Seraphimon was there!"

Cherubimon turned around and looked at Nanimon with a blank look on his face. "You…must be mistaken…"

"I'm only telling you what I saw, and I saw Seraphimon and Duskmon!"

"I know, I know; it's just that…it's very difficult to believe…"

"Sir, isn't it possible that it wasn't Seraphimon that he saw?" Commandramon asked.

"Why won't any of you believe me? I saw Seraphimon and Duskmon, go damn it!"

"I didn't say that you didn't see them. Didn't Tommy say that Beelzemon had captured him in hopes of reviving Ornismon and Murmuxmon? And then two of his minions came and told them they had found Murmuxmon, but he had escaped. Maybe he shifted into either one…or both."

"It may have been Murmuxmon morphed into the shape of Duskmon, but definitely not Seraphimon; it would take too much power; power that he doesn't have," Cherubimon said.

"Sir, is there something you'd like to share with us?" Commandramon asked.

"Yes. Commandramon, my most loyal subordinate; Nanimon, my dear friend; and Nefertimon, I also believe you deserve to hear this," Cherubimon spoke to the Digimon who remained silent throughout the conversation. "What I'm about to tell you is of utmost importance, and it could very well change the outcome of this war, so I do not want this to be heard by anyone else, except for the Legendary Warriors, in case an evil Digimon is nearby; they could easily use this information to their own advantage. It is said that the two Demon Lords, Daemon and Lilithmon, are born when either a Seraphimon or an Ophanimon have fallen from the path of light. The other Demon Lords obviously knew this, and so they have captured the Seraphimon and Ophanimon belonging to the group of the Three Great Angels, each of them being the strongest of their species. I doubt the enemy knows that we know this, and I'm sure this is what SlashAngemon learned before he was…anyway, if the enemy knew they knew this, they would go to all costs to protect the lives of Daemon and Lilithmon. Since they don't know that we know yet, we can track down either one and defeat them. Once the Daemon or Lilithmon are defeated, they will go back to being Seraphimon or Ophanimon, therefore saving their lives and increasing the number of allies we have. However, once we free one of them, the other will be more difficult to free."

"So, in other words, we'll just have to pick whichever one we find first and free either one, because I'm sure both of them would say to free the other one, first," Commandramon said.

"Commandramon, do you think you could go to BlackWarGreymon's house and tell the Legendary Warriors what I just told you? I need…to go do something while you're away," Cherubimon said.

"It won't be a problem at all, sir."

"Nanimon…did you tell any of them…about SlashAngemon's murder?"

"No sir, I didn't. I didn't have the courage to do so."

"I see…they'll find out one way or another; I just hope it's not from one of those Demon Lords…"

Cherubimon and Nefertimon watched as the Trailmon drove Commandramon farther and farther away from them and closer to the Legendary Warriors.

"Nefertimon…there's something I need your help with," Cherubimon said slowly.

"What do you need?"

"I'm going to Ophanimon's castle to research whatever it was that SlashAngemon was researching, and-"

"And you need my help to locate the books," Nefertimon finished.

"I know this is asking a lot of you; nobody likes being in the same room as those damn books. They seem to suck out everyone's happiness and emotions, even if they aren't reading them. But SlashAngemon learned something from those books, and that's what got him killed. If I can learn what he learned, then we just might be one step closer to defeating the Demon Lords."

"…Very well, I'll help you."

It was now night as Commandramon walked past building after building to get to the next train station.

Hmm…fresh meat… A large shadow in an alleyway thought as he saw Commandramon pass by. It jumped out of the alley without making a sound. "You know, it's really not safe for a low level Digimon like you to be wandering around here at this time of night."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine," Commandramon said dismissively.

"You never know what kind of deranged Digimon might be wandering around…the most dangerous of which, I'd have to say…is SkullScorpiomon!" SkullScorpiomon lunged at the little Rookie, his poison-tipped tail extended.

"M16 Assassin!" Commandramon, hearing his attacker leap at him, swiftly turned around and shot him with his sniper rifle, all of his bullets hitting where he intended them to.

"Whoa! Wait a minute!" SkullScorpiomon struggled to say.

"DCD Bomb!" Commandramon threw a bomb at SkullScorpiomon, which exploded in his crotch upon impact. "Strike Claw!" Commandramon fired a beam from his claw, which pinned SkullScorpiomon against a wall.

"Jeez…you attacked with absolutely no hesitation…and you're about as strong as those damn humans, too…"

"You know the Legendary Warriors?" Commandramon asked.

"Yes! Twice, they broke into my factory, the Wind Factory! The nerve of those brats!"

"The Wind Factory…" Commandramon said absently, and his Strike Claw attack ended, dropping SkullScorpiomon on the ground. "That's where the Demon Lords Lilithmon and Leviamon attacked them…" Commandramon turned to face SkullScorpiomon. "Do you know if the Wind Factory has any sort of connection to the Seven Great Demon Lords?"

"Something to do with the Demon Lords?" SkullScorpiomon repeated, laughing. "The Demon Lords have everything to do with it! After I was reborn and at my Champion level, they sought me out, having heard of my brutality. They gave me the power to Digivolve to the Ultimate level, and in exchange, they use my factory as a base!"

"So, what are you doing out here? It's so far away from the Wind Factory," Commandramon said.

"Well, you see…I kind of failed to eliminate several intruders, which I'm sure pissed them off. I'm sure if I go back, they'd only have me killed…or worse…"

Commandramon was silent for a moment. "Strike Claw!" Commandramon fired another beam from his claw, except this time, it acted as a rope, which he used to tie up SkullScorpiomon.

"Hey, what the bloody hell do you think you're doing?" SkullScorpiomon asked.

"I am a servant to the great Cherubimon. I have many questions that I must ask you, but first I must find my Lord."

"Well, why the hell did you tie me up?"

Commandramon turned to look at him, a small smile on his face. "I can't let such a rare find get away from me, now can I?"

Do you think SkullScorpiomon will tell the truth, lies, or nothing at all?
