Digimon Tamers X
Chapter 5
"Clash of the Demon Lords-Beelzebumon vs. Belphemon"
In a dark castle on the Continent of Darkness, Lucemon discusses his new plan to the Demon Lord, Beelzebumon. "Beelzebumon, I need you to go to the continent of Server and take care of some 'business' for me." "I don't think that would be necessary, Belphemon's strong enough to take care of that human and his Digimon slave." Beelzebumon smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong I'd kill for the chance to destroy those two, but if I don't really have to, I'd like to just stay out of this." "Heh, you'd kill for the chance you say?" Lucemon chuckled thinking of Beelzebumon slaughtering Seiryuu and Guilmon X, "Then I've got a job for you. Go to the continent of Server, and kill Belphemon." Beelzebumon is shocked gasping at Lucemon's surprising proposal. "What'd you say? You're jokin' right? He's one of us." "I'm well aware of that, but if our plan is to be successful, we must make certain sacrifices, and Belphemon is a sacrifice necessary for things to work properly." Lucemon points to an engraving on the wall "See that, that is an ancient legend telling of Belphemon's ancient power, he is said to sleep for 1000 years and then awakens at his full power which he will use to destroy everything." Lucemon turned around facing Beelzebumon, "So you see, if he destroys everything then all of this would be for nothing, plus he'd be stronger than all of us, so being down one Demon Lord wouldn't be too bad would it?" "Yes sir, I'll take care of it." Beelzebumon got on his motorcycle the Behemoth and drove off, heading towards the continent of Server. "Beelzebumon, the weakest of us all, could he possibly be able to destroy Belphemon? Heh, it doesn't matter who wins, like Master said, only one of them needs to die."
The Cavern of Darkness, a mysterious cave located on Server, it is said that the Demon Lord Belphemon resides there, which is why Seiryuu and Guilmon X have arrived there, to seek out and destroy Belphemon. "So, this is it. All we have to do is go in, find Belphemon and destroy him." "It's gonna be hard. Are you sure we're ready for this?" asked Guilmon X doubting his strength. "Sure," said Seiryuu reassuringly, "if he is asleep like I think he is, he'll be easy to beat." Guilmon X smiled gaining confidence from Seiryuu's words, when a strange sound was heard in the distance. "That noise kinda sounds like a motorcycle." Seiryuu squinted, trying to find what was causing noise. The sound grew closer and closer, until Seiryuu could see what was causing it. "Look," Seiryuu said in a excited sounding voice, "it's Beelzebumon!" "Get outta my way punks!" Seiryuu and Guilmon X jumped back as Beelzebumon drove passed them into the Cavern of Darkness. "Let's follow him!" Seiryuu ran after Beelzbumon into the darkness and Guilmon X reluctantly followed. "Guilmon, where do you think he's going?" "Probably to meet up with Belphemon." They kept running until they entered an enormous room where they saw Beelzebumon standing in front of an enormous winged beast. "Belphemon! Wake up you lazy bum!" Belphemon opened his eyes and scanned the room seeing Seiryuu and Guilmon X staring at him trembling before him, and Beelzebumon, pointing his Berenjena shotguns at him. "What's the meaning of this Beelzebumon? Why did you bring those two here? Have you turned your back on the Demon Lords?" "Nope," said Beelzebumon, ready to pull the triggers of his guns, "just takin' care of business."
"Double Impact!" Beelzebumon rapidly fired his shotguns at Belphemon; the bullets hit but they don't do any damage. "Beelzebumon, you fool what are trying to prove by challenging me? You are the weakest of the Demon Lords, do you honestly think you can beat me?" "Lord Lucemon seems to think so; he's the one who sent me here. He wants me to take you out, he seems to see you as some sort of threat." "Ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha!" Belphemon let out a loud laugh that caused the cavern to shake. "You want me to believe that Lord Lucemon sent you to destroy me. Ha! Even if I believed your ridiculous story, why would he send you to do the job, it would make sense if he sent Leviamon even Barbamon, but you!" Beelzebumon using his amazing speed ran up to Belphemon, "Darkness Claw!" Beelzebumon stuck his blood red claw into Belphemon's chest. "You are the one who is weak, all talk, and no power." Beelzebumon jumped back and kicked Belphemon's head off his shoulders. "Whoa. That was…interesting." Seiryuu turned his head, looking at Belphemon's head as it, and the body, was deleted. "Lucemon, I hope you're happy, is this how things are, is our goal really this important, is it all worth it?" Beelzebumon hopped on the Behemoth and turned to face Seiryuu and Guilmon X, "Just wait you two, the day will come when we will fight, when that day comes I'll kill you both!" Beelzebumon rode out of the cavern and headed East going wherever the wind carried him. Seiryuu and Guilmon X exited the cavern soon after, thinking of where they should go next, "So, where do we go next?" asked Seiryuu, scratching his head. "Oh, uh, we should go the continent of Folder; 4 Demon Lords rule there." "Fine then, we're going to Folder."
Meanwhile, in Lucemon's castle, Lucemon is talking to a glowing orb, in a chamber located in the lower level of the castle. "It seems that Beelzebumon isn't as weak as we thought." Said Lucemon staring deeply into the orb. "I'm surprised he didn't absorb Belphemon's data for himself." The orb began to speak with a deep mysterious voice, "It is amazing he was able to defeat Belphemon, though it is sad to have lost a comrade. However, the power I received from Belphemon's data increased my power; besides, I bet the Royal Knights would have done the same." "Is that why you needed one of them to die, to get their data?" asked Lucemon. "No, it's all part of my plan, you will see soon enough; but for now, we have other things to worry about, the human and his pet are headed to Folder, make sure they don't cause any trouble." "Don't worry Master, there are 4 of us there, I'm sure they will take care of things." "Excellent."
