???: - The Language of Murder

[Candescence]

"Tsk... He's late. You'd think escaping from the Knights and Mephistomon would make it easier for him to be on time..."

In the darkness, in an unknown world, a single figure leaned against a pillar. There was a single light source in this unnaturally dark place, a single lit candle on the floor, but it was not enough for anyone to make out the figure besides his human silhouette.

"...well, do excuse me for taking the time to get myself reacquainted with the worlds I can enter." a voice hummed, as a portal opened into this darkness, carrying a dark light into the dark void...

@lucemoncm@

"...now... what is it that you want?"

[Candescence]

"Heh. I guess I can forgive you for that." The figure crossed his arms. "The power you gave me was fantastic. I can't use it lightly, of course, but neither the Digidestined nor the Gods have a clue what I'm doing. And I think I've got a few ideas on how we can proceed..."

However, he frowned behind the darkness. "But there are a few things I'm not happy about. Tai and Davis' partners can form Omnimon on Pokearth. And if we don't work quickly, Imperialdramon Paladin Mode may come next. As masterful as Lilithmon's plan was, it won't work twice."

[YolkaEd]

@lucemoncm@

"...so, worried about Lilithmon, are we?" Lucemon chuckled. "She's acting under some other force at the moment; I'll pull her under my control if the time calls for it, along with the other Demon Lords." Then, he folded his arms. "But if you're so worried about Omnimon and Imperialdramon Paladin Mode... why not just remove one of them from the equation?"

[Candescence]

"Hey, you know me, it would be kinda a shame to see a babe like that get snuffed out so soon. I haven't even gotten the opportunity to hit on her yet. She's a succubus, what sane man WOULDN'T want to?" He chuckled.

However, on the topic of removing one of them... "Forcing either Tai or Matt into a confrontation would blow my cover completely, you know, surely you-" Then he stopped... And chuckled. "Nevermind. I have a better idea than fighting them. A MUCH better idea. When I get the opportunity... Oh, this is gonna be beautiful. On the flip side... I do have good news. Our 'pet' has more potential than I realised... Much better than the weakling. Plus, I heard an interesting tibit... Does the name 'Izanagi' mean anything to you?"

[YolkaEd]

@lucemoncm@

"...Izanagi..." Lucemon hummed. "...I've read a little on mythology of the earth. Isn't that one of the deities that serve as the cornerstone for Japanese mythology?" He knew more of a different certain deity he had clashed with, and mercy be with anyone who reminds him of that certain deity.

[Candescence]

"Japanese creator deity, alongside his wife, Izanami..." He rubbed his chin. "That guy, Souji Seta... He's a Koemon tamer too, and his partner may be the reincarnation of the Digimon equivalent. If that's correct... We may be able to use this to our advantage."

[YolkaEd]

@lucemoncm@

"...hmph... how so?" Lucemon hummed, raising an eyebrow.

[Candescence]

"Our pet... Actually, you know, nevermind. I'll show you when the time comes. We still need to confirm it first, otherwise we'll just be chasing after a red herring." He replied.

"Though... We do have two major problems, in addition to Omnimon. Mephistomon and Duskmon. Mephistomon seems to be mucking everyone's s**t up for s**ts and giggles, and I am getting sick and tired of it, plus, the last thing we want is for him to start destroying worlds. We need to ice the bastard as soon as possible, preferably before he evolves." He took a breath. "Duskmon? He's got his Human Spirit, but no Beast Spirit, but he has possessed a Pokemon, and has a mind of his own. If we can control him like Cherubimon did, he may be a very potent weapon. Of course, that's a pretty big 'if'. And with my kind of darkness... If we control him, who knows how powerful he can get?"

[YolkaEd]

"...you certainly haven't been doing your homework, if Mephistomon and Duskmon are your biggest concerns." Lucemon shrugged. "Thanks to a valuable contact, I've learned of so many more that can make things sour for my plans." As he spoke, he created several images from his hands.

@megadramon@@mermaimon@@cherrymon@

"The Dark Masters."



"Myotismon's troupe."



"Team Rocket."



"Even the other Demon Lords."



"And those are just from the top of my head." Lucemon hummed. "We have more competition than you think, my friend; something we need to take into account."

[Candescence]

"When you only have the Digidestined as your source..." He sighed, as he looked at the images. "So the Dark Masters have revived MetalSeadramon? That's gonna be a problem. But the Digidestined are gonna make an attack on their base of operations. Knowing them, the Dark Masters don't stand a chance, especially without Piedmon."

He looked at Myotismon's ranks. "Well, damn, so Myotismon has Dru under his wing, eh? A girl after my own heart... If she weren't so oblivious. She thinks it's all just a game, from what I figure. Shame, really. Myotismon himself has been rather elusive and under the radar."

Team Rocket made him frown. "Yes... I did hear about Team Rocket from the tamers. That chick... Domino, I think it was? She's recruiting thugs on one of the Earths, with Shin in cahoots with her. Shin isn't gonna be a problem with the Digidestined already focusing on him. He's just pathetic." Then he saw, among the images...


Was the face of none other than Kurata.


"Well, I'll be damned, Kurata's alive. He's an asshole, but he's got potential, if we can somehow make use of him."

However, on the point of the other Demon Lords... "I can understand Beelzemon, but why the others? Do you guys all have Chronic Backstabbing Disorder or something?"

[YolkaEd]

@lucemoncm@

"They are unruly and scheming; much like myself." Lucemon hummed, folding his arms. "We cannot even trust each other. Daemon has his own agenda, Lilithmon serves another master, Leviamon has sworn a vendetta against us all, and Barbamon... he doesn't even like us." Then, he sighed. "Better to distrust those close to you, than to risk being consumed by another scheme entirely."

[Candescence]

"True, true. But there is one Demon Lord we can control, if we can revive him... Belphemon." He smirked. "After all... If Kurata could do it... And even then, Belphemon, when awakened, is just a rage-filled beast. We could devise a plan to seal him back into his sleep mode whenever we need to, and/or control him, point him at a target, and let him wreck everyone's day. That is, if we keep him away from the DATS tamers. We don't want ShineGreymon Burst Mode killing him again... Unless we can corner him on Pokearth, where Burst Mode isn't available to him right now."

[YolkaEd]

@lucemoncm@

"I wouldn't keep my hopes up." Lucemon murmured. "The other Demon Lords seem dead set on the fact that Belphemon is long gone... but no matter. We've discussed the matter of the Digidestined forming Imperialdramon Paladin Mode, the ones who oppose us, and a surprise regarding your pet... is there anything else you would like to bring up?"

[Candescence]

"Yes. Missingno." He sighed. "Since we're bringing up enemies... Missingno is a major problem, probably our biggest. He brought back the 'D-Reaper', something that couldn't be brought down by brute force alone, through that Jeri kid somehow. And he plans on eliminating all Pokemon, an all Digimon by extension. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if he decides to 'extend' his parameters to all humans as well. Sooner or later, we will need to deal with him. I take it you or the other Demon Lords are trying to devise a way to take him out?"

[YolkaEd]

@lucemoncm@

"As I said, you should do your homework." Lucemon scoffed. "Missingno is a primary agenda of a lot of villains, these days... Mephistomon included. He is a key factor we must rid ourselves off."

[Candescence]

"Better safe than sorry." He finally moved from his position, and moved away from the pillar. "For now... I think I'll try and test out our pet's potential... And perhaps have a night on the town, on Pokearth, maybe. I might be able to pick up a hot chick... I'll let you know how well that goes. Seeya."

And with that... He was gone.

[YolkaEd]

@lucemoncm@

"...fool human." Lucemon scoffed. "He's too trusting..." Then, he glanced behind him. "...you know what to do."

@@

"Yes, my lord."

@lucemoncm@

"...now... time to go into hiding..." With that, Lucemon and his hidden servant vanished.
