Davis was speechless to say the least, he watched the two young girls that had appeared out of the blue with curiosity, he couldn't believe that his partners were two
children. He looked to the side at Wisemon and with a nervous smile he said;
"It's a joke right?"
"What do you mean my dear king?" said Wisemon
"Dude, I'm supposed to be partnered to digimon, D-I-G-I-M-O-N! And no offence to you" he said looking at the two girls; "But you don't look that strong, heck you
don't even look like digimon"
The two girls looked at Davis with a poker face and stood there for some time while the destined tried to make sense of the situation he was in. One of the girls came
closer to him, her hair was gold as the finest of minerals, her eyes a deep ocean blue that shinned like stars, her cream colored skin made her look even more
beautiful, she had a petite body and wore a white dress that resembled the gothic lolitas from the Akihabara district, in her totality she looked like an angel like the
ones in mythology. When she stood face to face with him she looked up and smiled;
"Let me introduce myself, I am no human or ordinary digimon I am the demon lord of Pride, my name is Lucemon and I will serve you until you desire me to do so"
said the child
"W-W-ait, who? WHAT!" Davis couldn't say any coherent words for he was far too shocked from what he had just heard how could this small child be so powerful and
what did she mean by demon lord?
The remaining child decided that it was her turn to step up and introduce herself, unlike Lucemon this child had deep black hair that resembled the darkest of the
nights, her eyes were a bright hazel color and just like Lucemon's they could put the most expensive diamond to shame, her skin was a little more tanned than the
lord of Pride's but was still very clear, she resembled a roman goddesses and just like the other she had a petite body and was wearing a gothic Lolita dress with the
only difference being that this one was black instead if white.
"Hello my lord, I'm the demon lord of Lust, they call me Lilithmon, and just like pride I will serve you until my last day"
The child of the dark hazard was in shock, he glanced back at Wisemon who was busy reading his old book and then at the children who by the time looked like they
were expecting some kind of response or a sign of life for the matter. He looked at Lucemon and swore he had seen her before;
"She looks familiar; I've seen her before, but where? Where? Of course, the airport she's the same child, but how is that possible?" Davis thought
"If you are trying to remember the incident at the airport, then I must confess that it was me indeed master, I was the one who gave you that necklace" said
Lucemon breaking Davis's concentration
Lilithmon looked displeased with this; she glanced at Lucemon and said;
"HEY! You cheater we agreed to wait for him, and yet you met him at the airport"
"Oh calm down Lust it's not like I got mad when you went after the girl of light"
Davis froze after hearing this, what had Lilithmon done to Kari? Was she okay? No, he knew that he needed to stop thinking like that, his mission was to get revenge
and bring justice not care for those who had betrayed him. He hoped that with the personality fusion that would happen if the crest chose him he would finally be
able to feel no remorse for anything that happened to his former friends.
"What did you do to her" he said "You didn't kill her, did you?"
"Of course not my lord, I was just very angry after the death of Veemon and I thought I should teach the child of light and her partner some well-deserved lessons"
Lilithmon answered
"So you didn't hurt them"
"No, I just gave her a little nightmare to her and her Gatomon, I was never a fan of light to be honest" said Lilithmon finishing her sentence with a short giggle
"Pfff, always so merciful, Lust, but oh well it was necessary to keep her alive, congratulations on that prank" spoke Lucemon glancing at Lilithmon while giving her a
half-smile
Both demon lords continued to make conversation with each other while Davis merely looked at them, they are a unique pair he thought, even though it wasn't in his
nature to perform bad deeds, he would be lying to himself of he didn't admit that he was happy that Kari and her partner had gotten what they deserved.
Wisemon finished researching his book and seeing as both the king and his partners were already making alliances the training and separation that would come would
be easier for them, the book explained that in order for the crest to test the child, he needed to become stronger, smarter and simply better at everything he did. So
Wisemon had decided that he would train the child in all subjects from fighting to thinking, he would turn this broken child into the most fearsome king that the
dimensions had ever seen, but for that he needed his cooperation, he still wondered if the child would be able to withstand being inside the dark castle for such a long
period of time. He cleared his throat and approached Davis and his partners;
"My king, it seems that you have met both of your partners, tell me, do you understand why they are your partners or do you have any doubts?"
"Actually I do, first, what is a demon lord? Why did they get chosen to be my partners and why do they look like human children? Asked Davis bombarding Wisemon
with questions
"We can answer that master" interrupted Lilithmon before Wisemon could speak
"The demon lords are seven of the most powerful creatures of the digital world, they reside in the dark area and can travel freely thru the different dimensions, in the
past they committed acts of destruction and cruelty but today some of them have been partnered to humans and others have been destroyed" spoke Lucemon
"The only ones that still continue to cause trouble are Daemon of wrath, Barbamon of greed and Leviamon of envy, both Pride and me belonged to the group but
deserted to find our own way, which led Pride to try and conquer the frontier dimension and me to try and destroy the celestials of this dimension, after we both
failed we were given a choice" said Lilithmon
"We were given the chance to be reborn but we saw and felt the pain, sorrow and anger that we caused, it nearly drove us mad, it was the digital world's punishment
to us. After many centuries we were captured by the sovereigns and trapped in this castle along with Wisemon, we discovered the existence of the crest of the dark
hazard and realized that only our power would be able to withstand the force of the dark crest, with the hazard present on me and the mark of darkness on Lust it
was only natural for us to be partnered to you, we observed you and your pain and to be honest you reminded us of ourselves" Lucemon spoke
"Indeed, you were betrayed, you were fooled and you just wanted to belong and have a purpose just like us, we are not very different my lord, by freeing us you
have given us a new chance to live and a new purpose to complete, and for that we thank you" finished Lilithmon
Silence, only silence was present after the words of Lilithmon and Lucemon, Davis did not want to judge the digimon's past's because he would become just like his
former friends, he looked at the girls straight in the eye and realized that they were sincere about what they had said, he then proceeded to say;
"I'm not going to ask you anything else, you did what you did but we all make mistakes, you now have a purpose and I promise you that unlike your other
experiences, this time you are not going to be betrayed or mistreated, if you offer me loyalty then I will give you my undying friendship in return"
Both the demon lords and even Wisemon himself were shocked at the level of dedication that they boy showed, both Lucemon and Lilithmon had never seen anything
like that;
"Thank you master, you have shown me a side of humanity that I thought was inexistent" said Lucemon
"Loyalty is the most precious trait a living being can have, you truly are one of a kind my lord" said Lilithmon
"Now stop that before you make me blush" said Davis laughing lightly, while his partners praised him
"My king, I overheard you asking about the reason why both of your partners look human" spoke Wisemon
"Yes, I'm curious to know how is it possible for them to look so humanlike" said Davis
"Well, the reason is because both Lilithmon and Lucemon are shape shifters, meaning that they can take the appearance of a human as well as a digimon, their true
forms are almost exactly like the ones you see before you"
"WOW! So cool! Could you show me, please, please"
"It would be our pleasure" said both Lucemon and Lilithmon
They began to shift in front of Davis, on her back Lilithmon grew a beautiful pair of black wings that resembled those of LadyDevimon but unlike hers, these did not
look battered and broken, in fact they looked breathtaking as they spread in all their glory, finally a strange mark that resembled the one on Devimon appeared on
both of her arms. Lucemon also had wings, not one or two but six in total, they looked just as stunning as Lilithmon's, on her arms appeared the symbol of the
hazard and half of her face was covered by a tattoo that made her seem mysterious and attractive.
The child of darkness was in awe of the beauty in front of him, they weren't human, no, they were too perfect to be considered human, he could not understand how
such lovely creatures could cause so much chaos and destruction;
"So master, what do you think" spoke Lucemon
"I-It…I...You"
"Is something wrong my lord?" asked Lilithmon seeing the boy's confusion
"You're beautiful, both of you" said Davis finally
"Thank you, we are glad you like it" said his both his partners as they smiled warmly at him
Wisemon decided it was time to continue with the task at hand and so he approached Davis and said;
"My king, I must train you in order to prepare you for the test that the crest will give you, unfortunately you must come alone I am afraid"
"Why can't my partners come with me?" asked Davis
"This training is designed especially for the chosen of the dark hazard, meaning that any outside interference could provoke the stability of the crest's power resulting
in the death of its chosen" said Wisemon
"So, what kind of things are you going to show me?" asked Davis
"Once you complete this training you will no longer be a mere human child, you will be as strong, fast and intelligent as the best of the best, you will defeat ultimate
level digimon with ease and you will not let anything or anyone stop you, you will still be mortal but you will be like a God or in this case, a true king"
"There is no time to waste then, the sooner I am able to get the full power of the crest, the sooner I can go searching for the sovereigns and their minions" said Davis
"Very well, bid your goodbyes and prepare yourself because this training will take many digital centuries to complete" explained Wisemon
Davis went and said his goodbyes to both Lucemon and Lilithmon, the digimon's weren't too happy with separating from their partner so soon but they understood
that it was needed in order for him to become stronger.
"Bye, and don't be sad because I'll see you real soon, ok" said Davis
"Yes, we will be waiting for your return" answered both digimon
Sovereign Plateau; Central Quadrant
Inside a prominent crystal castle on top of a plateay stood a Boarmon who looked terrified to death as he spoke to a gigantic fenix that was covered in flames;
"I-I'm sorry my lord, he's gone, and from what Gennai has told me not even the digidestined have a clue as to where he is" a Boarmon nervously said to the ruler of
the southern quadrant
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE'S DISSAPEARED?" Zquiaomon's screaming echoed thru the land; "YOU ARE NOTHING BUT AN INCOMPETEN FOOL, NOW BURN! BURN!"
The fire surrounded the boar digimon as he was consumed by the incandescent flames that burned his data until he was deleted completely, the silence that followed
was interrupted by the angry growling of Zquiaomon who was furious with the results that his minions had given him;
"ARRRRRGHHHH! I'm surrounded by imbeciles"
He was so entangled in his rage that he did not notice the other four sovereigns that presented themselves, Azulongmon from the east, Baihumon from the west,
Fanglongmon from the center and Ebonwumon from the north, the most powerful beasts of the digital world. They ruled their quadrants with iron fists and were
feared and obeyed by all those under them. They were the god's of the digital world and its respective dimension.
"Calm down Zquiaomon, what has occurred this time?" asked Fanglongmon
"It seems that the child has escaped, not only did both Leomon and Wizardmon fail, but the rest of our pawns have had no luck finding him" he answered
"Well, then it seems that he is smarter than we thought, do you think he already knows the truth?" asked Ebonwumon
"No, not yet, I have personally spoken to Gennai and apparently he had a clash with the destined from my quadrant and after his partner was deleted he went solo"
said Azulongmon
"We must track him down fast, if he were to find out about the crest and our connection to the death of his parents that would be the end of us" spoke Baihumon
"Are you afraid of a mere human boy, Baihumon?" Fanglongmon taunted
"I understand what Baihumon's angle is, although he is a mere child as of now he still possesses the potential to destroy us all if he were to acquire the crest, after all
the prophecy doesn't lie" defended Ebonwumon
"I can assure you that there is nothing to worry about, it is only a matter of time until they find him and when they do, they will end his pathetic life just like they
should of done the day they ended with his parent's" spoke Zquiaomon
The laughter that followed was raw and sinister, the sovereigns were not only afraid of the child but they would try to end him before he got to them and just like
they said it was only a matter of time, a matter of time until the king of the dark hazard finally rose.
The sovereigns have appeared and they will hunt Davis so that he cannot hunt them. What will Davis do? Will his training help him complete his
journey? What is that prophecy that the sovereigns speak of?
Ok, So your probably asking yourselves. Why is Lucemon female? This will be revealed in later if not in the next chapter, the only hint i can give you
is that it has to do with the Yin-Yang and the existance of light and darkness.
