Even though the Demons and Devils were all outside, the Twins were still wary to hide in the shadows.
They ran through the halls of the Chaos Castle, searching for a quick way out without being seen. Suddenly, they heard footsteps, loud multiple footsteps. Forcing them to hide in the shadows, putting their backs against the walls.
No NO! They were so close. The Footsteps were getting closer, and closer, and CLOSER...!
"Shade?"
"Ken?"
The two emerged from their hiding space in complete shock. Those voices... Can it be?
Once they got out, they were met by the surprised yet relieved faces of their Digimons. Both sides ran towards each other and sandwiched each other in a warm hug. The other Digimons and Sovereigns happily watched the scene, some with tears in their eyes.
Suddenly, Ken broke the hug in realization, "Guys, we got to help Spencer and Theo."
"S'up!"
Everyone cried in surprise when they turned around, only to find the other two Digidestined... eating a plate full of donuts?
"How did you guys escape?" Ken asks.
"They didn't enchant the doors." Theo grumbled under his breathe. Ken shared his annoyance while Shade and Spencer tried to hide their chuckles.
"Okay. We should get going." Huanlongmon advised.
"And warn the other Digidestined." Zhuqiaomon added.
The Devil. The Ruler of all Evil. The Dark Lord. Right in front of them. Dismounting off the alicorn and smirking at them as if he knew they were already going to fall. As if.
The Dragon Demon growled impatiently, prompting Satan to pet his head to calm him down, "Patient, Coward. They're not going anywhere."
This seam to convince Coward, as evidence by his wicked chuckle. Horus and Zeus noticed, and they did not like it one bit.
"Ra Old Friend." Satan beamed, slowly approaching the glaring Sun god, "I see you still have that, sunny disposition of yours. Can't say the same though for the others."
"And you're still have that annoying devilishly attitude." Ra remarked.
The two winged dogs growled in defiance, but before they could advance, Satan pushed them back.
"Shame Mother Nature isn't here." Satan pointed out, "Daddy was looking forward to seeing her again. Right, Pitch?"
Pitch just crossed his arms and glared at the Devil.
"She's needed somewhere else." Zeus replied before raising his arm in front of the Devil, "Now. My Thunderbolt."
"And what about those, Digidestined?" Satan asks, "Were they 'needed' somewhere else too? Shame. And I was looking forward to seeing him again."
"Why don't you just take off that stinkin' hood, and face us like a real Devil?!" Ares snapped so much that he set himself in fire... only to be slammed to the ground by a shadow hand.
"Now." Satan rubbed his hand, "Who's next?"
"Well this stinks." Davis complained, "Those guys get to beat up the Big Honcho of all Bad while we're stuck here moping with a bunch of..."
Davis stopped when he noticed the, offensive faces Jack, Bunny, North and Sandy were giving him.
"If it makes you feel better, you're also stuck with us." A female British voice spoke.
Davis turned around only to meet two teenage girls, one redhead, and one spiky-haired brunette.
"I'm Liz." The redhead spoke in a British Accent before turning to her companion, "That's Emma."
"Priestesses of the Sun God Ra." The other girl, Emma, finished.
"You guys literally work for the Sun god?" Izzy asks.
"Well we did help him get his, godliness back." Liz replied.
"These days we work with the Oracle of Delphi." Emma added.
"The Oracle of who?" Izzy asks, only for a blond boy to accidentally bump into him.
"Sorry. Excuse me." The boy gattered his scrolls before continuing on his way, prompting the others to follow him.
They followed him to a curly redhead girl painting on a rock. She lifted her brush off the rock as she examined her painting, wondering what she was even painting. Upon seeing the painting, Liz and Emma, along with the boy holding the scrolls, began discussing quietly with the curly redhead they called Rachel.
The painting was mostly made out of blobs. Its as if the redhead just dipped her brush in paint and splatter it around the rock. Despite the weird artistic method, if one could look closer, the middle of the painting looks like a phoenix...
A phoenix...
An Angel...
A Shadow with eyes, striking...
Neo jumped when a hand touched his shoulder. He turned around only to meet the curly redhead.
"Hey sorry if I paint on your rock." The redhead sheepishly apologize, "The guys who run this place don't mind, right?"
"No. No." Neo assures, "Oracle purposes, right? After all you're... The Oracle of Delphi?"
"The Oracle of Delphi, Rachel..." The blond announced before being elbowed on the stomach, "Sorry. I'm still new to this, humility."
"Octavian. My, Most Humble Assistant. As he insisted." Rachel introduced, "How'd you know I was an Oracle?"
"You hang out with those two." Neo glanced at Liz and Emma who were debating on what kind of bird the painting was, "And they did say they were working with The Oracle of Delphi..."
Rachel gave an impressed smirk, "Smart, Kid."
"For a human." Octavian remarked before turning to the Chaos Castle, "Still; we should've been there..."
"Ah, you know Zeus." Rachel pointed, "Plus you know he's still shaken about, what happened..."
"Bet his mother wouldn't accept his beh..." Octavian cried in pain when Rachel punched him on the arm, glaring at him to silence him. We swore not to speak about it, or the gods would disintegrate us, REMEMBER?
"If you guys asks us, you guys should be there, joining the fight." Liz pointed out.
The Digidestined looked up in surprise.
"Seriously?" Davis asks.
"Yeah." Emma agrees, "Your friends are in there probably scared and anxious. They need you to be with them, telling them everything's gonna be alright. The gods? They'll probably creep them out to death."
"Or worst. Bore them to Death." Rachel joked, causing the group to chuckle.
"Now that's just rude." Octavian interrupted, smirking, "You know very well that Ares can bore them to death, single-handedly. Even without his hand."
This caused the girls and the Spirits to chuckle even louder.
"Now you're getting it!" Rachel exclaims, patting him on the back so hard that he almost toppled over.
"Still; They shouldn't have pushed you away from the fight." Emma reasoned.
"Yeah. Who knows how, deadly The Devil can be." Rachel added.
This made Neo look back at the Chaos Castle. Why does he still have this nagging feeling that someone needs him there? And not just his friends...
If you think the Battlefield was intense before The Devil came in, then what do you think of THIS DISASTER?!
It started with a huge army of Gods, Demigods and Magicians charging at The Devil at the same time. The next minute, the Battlefield was littered with Gods, Demigods and Magicians. And maybe a few animals, and... Are those skeleton bones?!
One Demigod, Reyna, reached for her sword, only for it to be stomped by The Devil. Using only his feet, he skillfully kicked the sword into his hand, running his finger against the edges of the blade.
"Well what do you know?" Satan muse, "You were able to influence your own religion, and craft decent weaponry over those years."
The fallen warriors watched in mixed surprise and horror as Satan transformed a 'simple' Roman sword, into a taller, darker sword that really screams, "DIE!".
Which Reyna will be since Satan is bringing down the sword...
Reyna closed her eyes and braced for the worst, but it never came. She opened her eyes, only to find the goddess Nephthys before her stopping the blade with a water shield. Satan just smirked as his shadow took form behind the Demigod and goddess, its sharp pointed end striking at them. But before it did, the two were swept away by a sand tornado, courtesy of the Egyptian god of Chaos.
"I never knew you'd turn out to be a gallant god, Set." Satan smirks, dropping his sword inside his shadow.
"What can I say? We're starting to agree on a lot of things." Set replied, smirking at Nephthys who smirked in return.
Suddenly, Satan was tackled from behind before being turned around by Ares and the Egyptian Lion goddess Sekhmet. Ares grabbed the edge of his hood while several vines struck him from behind. When the vines were inches away from their target, the two gods grabbed them, before being electrocuted. This allowed Satan to knock them far away.
"Sorry, but I don't want any of you to ruin the surprise." Satan pulled down the edge of his hood to cover his eyes, "You already ruined my plans when you pushed him away from me."
Weapons started raining from the sky. Satan skilfully dodged every one that Ptah, the Egyptian god of creation summoned. He grabbed a large sword that almost struck him and flung it at the other weapons. He then grabbed two swords and flung it at Ptah who managed to dodge it. Yet for some reason, he was impaled. And the swords were barely an inch away from him.
"E-lemental... Darkness." He managed to mutter before collapsing to the ground.
Satan smirked in amusement before turning around, only to...
"BOOO!" A half-naked dwarf god cried.
The scene was quite terrifying and nerve-wracking. But Satan...
"'Really terrifying' Bes." Satan commented sarcastically, giving a look of indifference.
He summoned a weapon and charged at Bes, only to clash with the Greek Wisdom goddess, Athena.
"Kronos' Scythe." Athena angrily mutters before Satan pulls away.
"Can you believe my Luck?" Satan asks, running his finger against the edge of the blade, "I was just taking a stroll in Mount Olympus, when I came across this, abandoned by its owner. I was all; 'What was Kronos thinking? Letting go of his most powerful weapon?'' Really."
As he finished, the blade of the Scythe glowed black and he struck it at the ground. A wave of Dark energy charged at Athena before knocking her out with Bes.
"Mom!" Annabeth cried.
"If you thought that was intense, wait 'til you see this." The Scythe disappeared from his hand, and was replaced by another object, which he used to blast the Greek god of Death Hades who was sneaking up behind him from the shadows.
"The Eye of Horus." Horus gritted his teeth. His Eye, The Original Eye he lost in his Battle with Set.
"What is it with you gods leaving behind such powerful weapons? Then again, they're nothing compared to this." The Eye of Horus disappeared from Satan's hands, leaving one hand free to reach into his neck and pull out a cross with seven different colored gems.
"Is that...?" Ptah mutters.
"It can't be." Poseidon awed.
While the others gods were surprised, the Demigods and Magicians were baffled by the fact The Devil would wear a cross, the very thing that drives him off. Seriously; Crosses are symbols for The Good and Angels. The Devil? I don't think so!
From the shadows, hidden from everyone else, Amber looked at cross with greed and anger in her eyes. It should have been hers. It should have been HERS!
Satan smirked as the cross began to glow and transform into a sword. The hilt of the sword looked like angel wings with seven different colored gems in the end. The sight of the weapon enraged Zeus and Horus so much that they began charging at The Devil.
Boy they were stupid.
Once they charged, Satan just took them out in one swoop, literally.
"You know you can do better than that." Satan pointed the tip of his blade at the ground. From the shadows emerged the Egyptian god of Death, Anubis, his hands up as a sign of surrender. Or as it seems.
With his back turned, Satan was unaware of the Egyptian Cat goddess striking at him from behind. But someone else did.
Before Bast can lay her claws at the Devil, the Turtle Demon, Ignorance, tackled her to the ground.
"Very sneaky, Kitty." Ignorance smirked.
"Bast!" Sadie tried summoning a spell, but it was no use; she still doesn't have her magic. Frustrated that she couldn't be any help, she grabbed her brother's wand and charged at The Devil. But before she could, she was frozen to the ground by the Wolf Demon, Nemesis.
"Sadie!" Carter cried as he and his friends rushed to his frozen sister's side.
"Stand back everyone! Things are about to get hot!" Leo set himself on fire before touching Sadie, freeing her from her icy prison. While Carter tended to his sister, Leo began to shiver, "Weird. I never feel this cold after burning up."
"Let us help you with that." The Cheetah Demon, Stigma, offered before she and the Tiger Demon, Atrocity blasted them with a combination of Wind and Lightning respectively.
Using the vines that sprouted from her shell, Ignorance flung the Cat goddess at Anubis. Ares charged at her but she stomped on the ground, causing the War god to be trapped in a cluster of giant crystals.
Hazel used the Mist in order to sneak up at Stigma undetected, planning to throw Hank, who was currently a scorpion, at the Cheetah Demon. Just as she was about to throw him, somebody caught her wrist.
"Your little Misty trick doesn't fool us, easily." Kibosh taunted before Hank transformed into a wolf and tackled him. The Demon struggled at first, but then stretched his horns and grabbed Frank before tossing him to Hazel.
Leona released her spirit from her body in order to posses Kibosh like she did to previous other Demons. But to her horror, she couldn't.
Kibosh then grabbed her by the throat. Just as he opened his mouth, dragging her closer...
"Kibosh!'" Satan berated, "You're going to ruin your appetite for the Celebration."
Kibosh sighed impatiently before throwing Leona back into her body.
"Is this what you foolish gods are reduced to?" Satan's eyes glowed red as he filled his sword with immense dark power.
The Demigods and Magicians rushed over to help, but the Demons and Devils got in their way.
"Come on guys. Are they even worth it?" Heat asks.
"Well... you guys are out to destroy the world."
Zeke appeared riding on Zero, leading a parade consisting of Freak, Zero, Hannibal, Mrs. O'Leary, Arion, Tempest, Blackjack, and other mythical and non-mythical Animals. Even Sadie's pet cat Muffin was in the mix.
Then, they charged...
"Enough fooling around, Devil!" Zeus bellowed as he and the other gods attacked with all their powers.
Satan grinned as he extended his arms, as if accepting the attacks before he skilfully jumped out of the way. Once, a sword was flung at him and he landed on the sword before kicking it back at the gods. One of the Egyptian gods, Babi, attempted to wrestle Satan to the ground, but the Devil grabbed him first and twirled him around before knocking him at Bast.
Once more, The Devils spread his arms, one hand holding the sword raised to the sky, glowing with Dark Energy. What's he doing? Preparing for a dance routine?
"Enough games, Devil!" Zeus demands as he and the other gods radiated with energy. The energy was so bright, that the Demigods, Magicians, Demons and Devils stopped just to cover their eyes.
All at once, the gods attacked The Devil. But then, it happened so fast...
How to explain it; The attacks. They were... eaten. No, seriously. Eaten. Before the waves of energy were even inches away from their target, Satan opened his mouth and ate all the attacks in one big GULP!
While Satan's followers marveled at their Master's powers, their adversaries were filled with shock and complete horror.
With the last of the light consumed, Satan gave a satisfied burp before smirking at the gods, "Thank you."
Then, he swung his sword...
The Digimons and The Digidestined have finally got out of the Chaos Castle, when they saw it ; a wave of pure dark energy. They were in a hurry to reunite with the others, but the blood-curling cries triggered them to go to the opposite direction.
Percy tried to get up, but he couldn't. Nor could any of his friends. He tried raising his sword, only for it to be snatched away from his hand.
"Riptide." Satan mused, examining the blade, "A very suitable name for such a powerful weapon." He threw the weapon on the ground, where it seam to be absorbed by his shadow, much to the horror of its owner.
"What about this one?" A dark orange male Devil, Roar-lphie, asks, waving Carter's wand.
"Such powerful Magician to wield such weapon." Satan mused, sensing the wand's power, "Throw it in."
Following his master's command, Roar-lphie threw Carter's wand on the ground before it was absorbed by Satan's shadow. Carter could do nothing but berate himself for his failure.
Despite their current state, the gods weakly lifted their heads, glaring at The Devil. No. They can't give up just yet. They were so close. They've been through so much. How could this have happened? They shouldn't have lost like...
Zeus gave out a painful cry as Satan stomped on his hand.
"You never learn to give up, do you?" Satan taunted, "Still as stubborn as always. Just like that Little Ticking Time-Bomb."
Satan sensed an angry presence charging at him. But it never touched him.
He gave a face of indifference as he turned around, only to find Amber thrashing in the arms of a black armored viking. A black ax materialized in the viking's hand which he uses to strike at Amber, knocking her out. He dropped her on the ground before turning into a shadow and slithered towards The Devil.
"Well done, Wrath." Satan patted the shadow's head before it joined 6 more blobs of shadows that appeared behind Satan.
"The 7 Deadly Sins." Bes muttered under his breathe.
"You're lucky I didn't use them." Satan chuckled as he petted another one The Sins, "You wouldn't have survived anyway."
Zeus and Horus gritted their teeth in defiance.
"Geez, Am. Don't you ever give up?" Caster remarks as he and Victoria pulled her up by the arms and made her face The Devil.
"What do you think?" Satan asks as his sword turned back into a cross. He smirked as if the cross answered, "My thoughts exactly."
Amber wanted to pounce at Satan but the two Devils held her back. She was too enraged to notice the disappointing looks the other Devils and Demons were giving her.
"Well don't be shy. Come on out." Satan called to, whoever he was calling.
The Digimons quickly dove back behind the earth fragments that were scattered by the wave. There was no way they could face The Devil now. Not in their state.
Yet, Shade revealed herself.
Ken rushed in to get his sister, but Spencer pulled him back. He could only watch worriedly as Satan approached her, hand outstretched... to, pat her on the head? Not good!
"You little Sneaks." Satan mused, "You had it planned all along; When The Devil's away, the Little Ones run away."
Mummymon and Arukenimon rushed over to save their partner, but Satan already pushed Shade back to them, "Now go back to your friends. They're probably worried about you."
The Digimons were surprised and skeptical. Once Shade and her Digimons returned to the others, they began making a quick get-away.
"You forgot something." Satan called, stopping them on their tracks.
From afar, Neo and the others could hear blood-curling screams...
