After consuming his hors d’oeuvre, the nefarious Digimon Slasher skulked in the shadows for his next meal. Even becoming one with the shadows himself. His red eyes glowed as he let out a sinister chuckle.

“This is too easy. One delicious meal after another.”

Then as he passed by an opening in an alley, he caught a quick glimpse of a creature he had never seen before. Quickly back tracking, he saw her. His next victim strolling through the street. The former Princess Celestia herself.

“My. Something new to try,” The slasher said. Already feeling his mouth watering from the thought of eating her.

Blending into the shadows of the surrounding buildings, he began to speed towards who he hoped would be his next meal. All the while rapidly growing more eager to feast on her.

‘Yes! YES!!! SO CLOSE!!!’

But just as he got within fifteen feet of the unsuspecting anthro Alicorn, he immediately paused. Instinct forced him to stop. The reason why. Because he realised where his pray was wondering towards to. His red eyes went wide in fear. Just up ahead of him, was the home of one of the Seven Great Demon Lords.

Sensing her immense power, the Digimon Slasher backed off.

“No. If I go further, she will sense me. I don’t want that.”

The Digimon Slasher had to withdraw. He may be nefarious, but he was no match for the local demon lord. Before he departed, he made one more glance at the wondering Celestia.

“Soon, my dear. I look forward to see what you taste like.” He threatened before vanishing into the shadows.

The Alicorn suddenly felt a cold chill up her spine as she looked over her shoulder. A confused expression on her face.

“Strange. It felt like someone’s watching me.”

But seeing that no one was there, she continued her stroll through the street. Having no idea that she almost became someone’s meal.

“It must be around here somewhere,” She uttered. Unsure if she was going in the right direction. Surrounded by tall yet almost featureless buildings.

But as she exited the street and into the open, a bright light caught her attention. Glancing to her right, her eyes went wide in astonishment as she gasped. What she saw was a massive building. All the windows fully lit from within. And above the entrance were giant neon letters attached to the building. Spelling the word ‘Layla’.

She had found it. But the type of building it was betrayed what Celestia was expecting. It looked far grander than she thought.

“This is a night club!? It looks like a mansion!”

What she was seeing was just the front. The rest of the building was unseen to her. But it was vast. Making her think that it had its own hall. Much like her castle in Canterlot.

Finally, having found the place, she paid attention to the entrance. Just in front of the stairway to the large doors was a bouncer. A type of security to guard the entrance. The Digimon in question was a SkullMeramon. Muscular, tall and imposing. Ideal for a bodyguard even. Beside him was a line formed of all sorts of Digimon. Clearly the visitors and patrons who want to have fun.

Celestia felt a little discouraged. The line looked long. It could be a while. But she knew that it was best to join in before the line could get longer. Plus, with the effort she went through to get to the nightclub, she couldn’t just back down. When she saw another large crowd approaching, Celestia decided to take her chance and joined the line before they could.

‘I-I did it. Now… I just need to wait.’ She thought to herself. Already feeling nervous.

Little by little, the line moved forward. But the pace was relatively consistent. Celestia already felt as though she was getting close to the entrance. All the while she kept gazing at the building. She wondered if it really was once a mansion that then became a nightclub. Or was it designed that way by the demon lords of the Digital World? Either way, she found the building impressive. She was even looking forward to seeing how it looked once inside.

As she waited, her ears caught the sounds of a very familiar voice. Peering her head to the side, she was surprised to see the same Impmon from before. She was just close enough to hear him as she approached SkullMeramon.

“Hay. I’m here for my act.” He said to the Ultimate.

The chain-covered hulk glanced down at the Rookie before speaking.

“And you are?”

“Who do ya think!? It’s Impmon!”

After a quick check of the schedule on the clipboard in his hand, SkullMeramon replied back.

“Right. You’re in.” He said as he gestured the Rookie towards the stairway.

“Sweet!” Impmon said as he joyfully marched towards the doors.

Celestia was surprised. Impmon was able to get in without even getting in the queue. That was when she remembered what he had said earlier.

“That’s right. I guess those who perform go straight in to get ready.” She quietly said to herself. Seeing the logic to such a system.

Eventually, Celestia reached the front of the queue. She could see the entrance. Being up close, she could see the detailing on the doors themselves. It all looked stunning, even though it was demonic in design. If the building was designed by the demon lords, they had good taste.

But just as Celestia was about to approach the entrance, the large chain-covered arm of SkullMeramon blocked her path. Startled by the action, the Alicorn turned towards the much taller Digimon.

“Hold it. Do you have a reservation?”

Celestia froze. She had no idea that one must make a reserve before entering. Shocked by the sudden bad news and not wanting to make a scene, she stuttered as she tried to answer.

“Umm… well… I didn’t… know I have to…”

Already knowing the answer, SkullMeramon laid out the entry rules for the Layla night club.

“This club is for members and reserved customers only.”

“M…Members?” Celestia asked. Remembering what AncientVolcanomon said back in the lift that took her to the Lust Ring. Mentioning about being a member and even showing her the blue badge he had.

‘So that was what he was talking about.’

She then bought her attention to SkullMeramon as he made the rule much clearer. But doing it in a more menacing way.

“No membership. No reservation. NO ENTRY.” He said as he leaned down towards her. His red pupils glowing brighter as his body gave off blue flames. Clearly showing to Celestia that she wasn’t wanted.

But before anything happened, a stray voice caught the attention of the two.

“W-Wait! Wait a second!”

Following the voice that came from the entrance, both Celestia and SkullMeramon were approached by Candlemon. One of the workers of the nightclub. The floating candle-like Digimon then approached the Alicorn.

“Excuse me, miss. Are you by any chance new here?”

Puzzled by the question, Celestia answered regardless.

“Y-Yes. My first time actually.”

“Then please, come right in,” Candlemon said as he gestured Celestia to the entrance.

The former Sun Princess was confused. SkullMeramon made it clear what without a reservation, she was not allowed in. Yet, one of the other workers was telling her it was alright. It turned out that her confusion was shared with SkullMeramon himself. The Ultimate speaking back to the Rookie.

“Hold on! What’s the big idea!?”

Candlemon glanced over to SkullMeramon as he answered.

“It’s our new policy. Here,” He said as he used his wax-like hand to hand the Ultimate bouncer a piece of paper.

Grabbing the paper, SkullMeramon read the new policy out loud.

“Free administration for beginners!?”

He then sharply turned towards Candlemon.

“I never heard of this!?”

“That’s because you were late to team brief… again,” Candlemon retorted.

SkullMeramon was about to argue back, but paused when he couldn’t find a comeback. Candlemon pointed out the fatal error he made earlier today. Arriving late for work.

He went back to double check the new policy. Reading it again.

“Well… since this is legit…”

After glancing down at the puzzled Celestia, the Ultimate level Digimon gave in and stood aside.

“Alright. You can go.”

“T-Thank you,” Celestia replied as she walked past the digital bouncer. Unable to hide the little smug on her face from the fact that the big strong Digimon got told off.

“This way, please,” Candlemon said. Urging Celestia to follow him.

As the two made their way towards the entrance, Candlemon made an apology.

“Very sorry about him. He may be scary, but he’s quite a slacker. I hope you’re not discouraged.”

“Oh no. It’s fine,” Celestia said. Reassuring her candle friend.

Walking on the red carpet and up the steps, Celestia was just moments away from entering Layla. Her first night club. Just the simple fact was making her nervous. But she was not going to turn back.

Almost as if it were automatic, the large doors opened for the two. Celestia took a deep breath as she followed Candlemon inside. Nervous, but excited. But the second she set foot in the building, the Alicorn felt as though an invisible force had suddenly washed over her. The atmosphere inside the building felt very different from the outside. After being briefly startled, Celestia began to feel warm. But not from the temperature of the building. The sudden warmth came from within her. The former princess let out a little huff as she began to feel hot under the collar.

“Mmm? Is it getting warm in here?” She asked as she adjusted the collar of her shirt.

“Oh. Her energy has an effect on all who are new here,” Candlemon explained. But Celestia was only half listening.

“Huh?”

‘Must be the room temperature.’ She thought to herself.

What Celestia failed to realise was that she was reacting to the digital energy of the Demon Lord Digimon.

Within seconds, Celestia began to get comfortable with the sudden change. Then followed Candlemon through a well-lit hall. All the while admiring all the décor around her. Even the carpet. If not for Candlemon calling out to her, she would’ve gotten lost.

“Right this way, miss.”

Seeing Candlemon beside a dark blue curtain, she walked over to him as he opened them up. Celestia let out a gasp of astonishment at the room the had entered. It was a massive hall filled with numerous tables and chairs. The room was well-lit for arrivals to find their tables. The walls and curtains were in many shades of purple. Flame-lit lanterns adorned the walls. Looking up, Celestia’s eyes widened from the fact that the ceiling was see-through. By seeing the flying Digimon passing by on the other side. It was clear that while she could see out, they couldn’t see in. But the centerpiece of the room was the golden stage. It was vast in size. Large enough to support even a giant.

“Wow,” She said as she took in the sight around her. Almost mesmerized by it all. She even felt that just being in the room was worth all the trouble.

“You like it?” Candlemon asked Celestia. Noting her stunned expression.

“It’s incredible.”

“Good. Lady Lilithmon would be pleased to hear that.”

Celestia almost flinched from what Candlemon said. Especially when he addressed the Demon Lord as ‘lady’. Firstly, it showed that the Rookie Digimon held her in high regard. And secondly, reminding the Alicorn that Lilithmon was the only female Demon Lord Digimon. Again, feeling baffled by the revelation.

And thirdly, he spoke as if he knew her personally.

“Oh, you know her?” Celestia asked.

“Know her? She’s my employer. As well as my master.”

Celestia felt particularly reassured. The employer part made sense, since the club was owned by Lilithmon personally. But was puzzled when he called her ‘master’. But Candlemon spoke up again. Preventing her from thinking about it too much.

“Follow me, and I’ll take you to your seat.”

Not wanting to be rude, Celestia followed Candlemon. As he led her to a table, he pulled her a seat. Letting her sit down.

“Do you need anything? A Drink?” He asked her.

“Umm, just water please.”

After receiving her order for water, Candlemon quickly bowed his head and made his way to the bar on the side of the room. As she waited, Celestia took the time to look at her surroundings again. Still amazed by the room’s aesthetics.

“Yes. It’s far bigger than what we have in Canterlot,” She said to herself.

As she looked around, she saw that the empty seats were steadily being filled with all sorts of Digimon. Some were obviously demon types. But she was surprised at how many she recognized were from the surface. Further showing how popular the Ring of Lust was.

Moments later, Candlemon returned with a glass of water. To which Celestia accepted.

“Thank you.”

“Would you like anything else?” Candlemon asked.

“Not right now, thank you,” She answered with a smile.

Letting Candlemon be on his way, Celestia was again pleased by the hospitality of the Digimon. She never thought that the kind that dwell in the Digital Underworld would be so nice. It was almost a shame that they got a bad reputation because they were demon types. She even felt a little guilty for initially judging earlier.

As more Digimon began to gather in the room, Celestia decided to use her magic to sense their power.

‘Yes. All sorts of Digimon are here. Quite a lot of Champions and Ultimates. I wonder what kind of acts they like to see on stage.’

But as she kept using her spell, her eyes went as wide as they could as she let out a quiet but shocked gasp.

‘W...WHAT IS THIS ENERGY!!? TH…THERE’S SO MUCH OF IT!!!’

Her concern was valid. Her magic was sensing a tremendous amount of digital energy. She could feel it flowing all through the room. The floors. The walls. The air. It was all rich in demonic power. But what had shaken Celestia the most was the simple fact that it was all coming from one individual.

Cautiously, she moved her head to try and pinpoint the exact origin of the flow of energy. But because the building was bathed in it, trying to find the source was difficult. But as she looked around, she spotted that there was a single balcony behind her up high in the wall. With dark purple curtains closed. With the balcony being the only one in the room, and positioned perfectly parallel to the stage in front of her, Celestia knew who the balcony was for.

‘Up there. Could that be… where she sits!? This energy… is it… hers?’

Despite not knowing what Lilithmon looked like, Celestia was imagining her up there on the balcony. Sitting upon her throne. Being amused by the acts on stage below.

She was too preoccupied from the thoughts that she failed to notice that someone was sitting with her at the same table. But her thoughts were interrupted by the sudden cold chill in the air.

‘Wait. Why is it getting colder?’

Turning back towards her table, she was surprised to see that she was not alone. Sitting in the chair beside her was quite a tall demon type Digimon. With the pointed horns on the sides of his head and his tattered bat-like wings, he looked like a devil. But his body was mostly white with a pinkish purple bat like symbol on his chest. Which somewhat took away the fear factor about him.

As she eyed him, the tall white devil looked just as curious of his surroundings as she was. But when he glanced over to her, he was surprisingly apologetic.

“Oh sorry! Was this seat taken!?”

Surprised by his humbleness, Celestia tried to calm him down.

“No. It… it’s alright. The seat’s free.”

Being reassured, the tall Digimon sat back down. Breathing a sigh of relief.

“Sorry. I should’ve said something before sitting. I’m IceDevimon, by the way.”

Not just humble, but polite. Again, the anthro Alicorn was baffled by the Digimon. After learning his name, she replied in kind.

“It’s fine. I’m Celestia.”

Having been acquainted, IceDevimon became curious.

“Hay. By chance, is this your first time here?”

“Umm… yes. That’s right.”

IceDevimon seemed enthralled by the answer.

“Sweet! This is my first time here too. I’ve actually wanted to come here for a really long time. But getting a reservation here is almost impossible. So when I heard that they’ve got this newbie free entry thing going on, I jumped at the chance. I mean, why wouldn’t I? This is a dream come true.”

As Celestia watched him rambling on, she noticed that the water in her glass had become frozen. Seeing that it was a side effect of IceDevimon’s powers. She was quick to use her magic to defrost the ice before taking a sip from the glass. Seeing that the devil Digimon next to her was the talkative type.

After a quick drink, Celestia saw some movement to her side. Looking over to the other end of the room, she saw a familiar Digimon emerging through the crowd. AncientVolcanomon.

“It’s him from before,” She said to herself. Remembering him from earlier.

She silently watched the Mega level Digimon waddle through the crowd and sat down on a large chair that looked as if it was made for him. All the while being greeted by other Digimon around him.

As she stared on, she heard IceDevimon talking to her.

“Incredible, aren’t they?”

“Hmm?”

“That table is exclusively for members only. Oh, how I wish I was a member!”

As she kept their sights on the group of Digimon, she spoke to IceDevimon.

“They’re all members?”

“Yep. You can tell by their badges. With them, they can enter here without reservations. Without waiting in line. And even get exclusive perks.”

After a closer inspection, Celestia could see that like AncientVolcanomon, all the other Digimon at the same table all had their own badges. All blue with the same black bat symbol on them.

As she watched them socialize, she turned to IceDevimon with a question.

“Don’t suppose you know how to become one?”

IceDevimon pondered as he replied.

“A member? Well… there is only one way to become one. All you have to do is impress Lilithmon. Only she can make one become a member.”

Celestia was not expecting such an answer. Sounding easier said than done.

“Impress her?”

“Yeah. You know… like an act. Or sing a song. Or something. But she has to really enjoy it.”

Celestia paused in thought. Not about the rules of the nightclub. Or even about the membership program. Her thoughts were on Lilithmon herself. The more the other Digimon spoke about her, the more Celestia became intrigued by her. With what little she knew of her, she already sounded interesting. With IceDevimon seemingly knowledgeable of the Layla nightclub, she turned to him for information.

“Umm… I was told that… Lilithmon owns this place. Is that right?”

IceDevimon blinked in surprise from hearing what Celestia said. Then gave his reply.

“Oh, she doesn’t just own this place. She lives here.”

The news took the white Alicorn completely by surprise. The nightclub that she had been to for some time was in fact Lilithmon’s home. Her place of residence. She looked at IceDevimon in complete shock.

“Really!? Th…This is her home!?”

As she paused in thought, it was much like her old castle in Canterlot. She lived there, and it was a place where she hosted all sorts of parties. So, it wasn’t that much of a surprise. But she was still startled that such a thing existed in the underworld. Plus, with the club also being the Demon Lord’s home, Celestia felt more certain then ever that the demonic energy she felt belonged to her. Then IceDevimon piled on the surprise.

“Not just that. But on rare occasions, she even performs on that very stage,” He added as he pointed at the main stage in front of them.

Celestia stared at the stage in intrigue. Trying to imagine what kind of performance the Lord of Lust could do on stage. A dance? A Song? Or something else? She kept on looking as IceDevimon continued with hope in his voice.

“But again, she only does it on rare occasions. Oh, I pray that we get to see her today.”

Pray. An ironic thing for him to say. With him being a devil type Digimon.

Then to the surprise of the two, the main lights began to dim. The only source of light being from the fire lanterns and the stage lights. Being their first time being in Layla, Celestia and IceDevimon had no idea what they were expecting. But a womanly voice echoing throughout the room gained their attention. The two looking at the stage along with the rest of the audience.

“Ladies and gentlemen! I see we’re getting a full house tonight!”

Then descending from the ceiling above the stage was a single metal pole. Landing in the heart of the golden stage. Then, sliding down the pole to the bottom, was a Digimon that barred an almost identical resemblance to LadyDevimon. Celestia was a little startled at first. Recalling her past experience with others like her. But unlike the others, the one on stage was wearing red clothing. A red LadyDevimon? She then spoke out to the crowd with a microphone in her hand.

“Welcome one and all to Layla! The number one nightclub in the Digital Underworld and the gem of the Lust Ring! Home of the famous Lilithmon herself! Now lets give her some love!”

As the crowd went in an uproar of excitement, cheering and clapping, Celestia was still perplexed by another variant of the same Ultimate level Digimon.

“There’s a red one?” She asked herself.

But as she turned her head to the side, she was surprised to see IceDevimon trying to conceal his face behind a menu. Trembling in fear and sweating profusely.

“Oh no! Not her!” He uttered to himself. Not wanting to be heard.

“W-What’s wrong?” Celestia asked him. Surprised to see quite a fearsome Digimon like him cowering in fear.

Glancing over to the Alicorn, IceDevimon revealed why he was so afraid. Speaking in a harsh whisper.

“Up there! That’s… my ex!”

Celestia felt flabbergasted at what she had just been told.

‘What!? As in… his ex-girlfriend!?’

She refrained from asking any more about the subject. Instead, she turned back towards the stage as the demoness introduced herself.

“I am the great RedLadyDevimon! Some of you know me as Lilithmon’s right hand lady! Number one assistant to the Lord of Lust herself! And… ready to obey her every command.” She explained. The tone in her voice sounded more suggestive in the last sentence. She then went on to explain what was in store for the crowd.

“We have a great line up for you tonight! Acts from far and wide had all gathered here for your entertainment.! Let’s hope they be good!”

As she paused, RedLadyDevimon saw that some Digimon were yet to find their seats. Meaning that they were not ready yet. So she began to stall for time.

“Now as everyone is getting settled in, get this. Did any of you hear what happened in the Frozen Mountains up on the Surface World?”

As most of the crowd chuckled from the knowledge, Celestia paused. She did recall what Gatomon said earlier. That the Digimon were planning on showing the Alicorn the mountains. But an unexpected avalanche caused those plans to be canceled.

“That’s right. That did happen,” She said quietly to herself.

But the sounds of frightened mumbling brought her attention back to the cowering IceDevimon. Not only he was scared, but the expressions showed guilt.

“Oh, I hope they don’t find out,” He whispered to himself. But Celestia’s sharp ears caught every word he said. And then pieced the two together.

“Wait. Did you have something to do with that, today?” She asked him.

Feeling pressured, IceDevimon confessed his sins.

“Well… how was I supposed to know you weren’t supposed to sneeze up there? Plus, my powers of ice didn’t help.”

Celestia didn’t know how to respond. While IceDevimon seemed apologetic, not making loud noises up in snowy mountains was basic health and safety knowledge. He should’ve known that. What’s more, the discovery had answered the mystery of what caused the avalanche.

But then as RedLadyDevimon calmed down the crowd, it became clear that she too knew who was responsible for the trouble.

“Tell you what. I know full well who was responsible for that. And I wish he was here… so I can give him a piece of my mind!”

The latter of what RedLadyDevimon said sounded very personal. There clearly was a rift between them. Making IceDevimon cower even more. Whatever happened between the two, he seemed to be the one responsible.

Sensing that she had gotten personal from her previous sentence, RedLadyDevimon regained her composure and tried to brush it off.

“Still. With all that snow means more time in those hot Jacuzzis. If you know what I mean.”

Some Digimon smirked in response. Knowing what kind of activities one could do while being submerged in a hot bubbly pool. The steamy aroma making contact with the bitter cold from the air as it touches the skin. Even Celestia was aware of such things. Making her blush from the thought.

Seeing that everyone had been seated, RedLadyDevimon was able to get the show started.

“Now without wasting anymore time, we have an opening act for you! Fresh talent from the Gluttony Ring, let’s have a round of applause for Impmon!”

As the crowd applauded, Celestia was surprised. She was going to see Impmon’s act already. The former princess being curious as to what the Rookie would do.

As he walked up on stage with his large brown sack of items, Impmon waved to the crowd before lowering a microphone down to his level.

“Right everyone! Prepare to be amazed, by the new rising star! Me!”

Without wasting time, Impmon reached in the bag and pulled out three plates. Then with a mental count to three, the imp-like Digimon began to… juggle.

Despite the Rookie level Digimon putting effort, the crowd looked less pleased. It was just a juggling act. As much as Celestia wanted to give her support, even she felt a little underwhelmed. She was expecting something different. Even Pinkie Pie could make juggling more exciting.

Seeing that he wasn’t wowing the crowd, Impmon went to his next phase.

“Hold on, folks! We’re amping it up!”

Firstly, he began to juggle the plates with his left hand and his tail. With his right hand free, he reached into the sack again and pulled out three long sticks. Then with a flick of his tail, he tossed the plates in the air and placed one of the sticks on his nose while holding the other two in each hand. When the plates descended back down, Impmon caught them with the three sticks. Balancing them as he steadied himself.

“Eeh! EEH!?” He said. Trying to get a reaction from the crowd.

But the most the audience could give were a few claps. Again, they weren’t wowed by something that could easily be a party trick.

Seeing such a lack luster reaction made Impmon lose his composure. All the while balancing the plates.

“What! Ya think this is easy!? It took me weeks to get this right!”

Seeing that he had no choice…

“Alright. Plan B!”

With an aggravated yell, he tossed the plates back in the air. As they got to a good height, Impmon flexed his fingers. Forming flames of darkness in his hands.

“BADA BOOM!!!”

Throwing his hands up, he fired three fireballs up in the air at the plates. When the attacks struck, the plates exploded like fireworks. Shards of plates then exploding in numerous colours.

The makeshift mini firework display had got a response form the crowd. All of them letting out ooos and aaahs. Even Celestia was surprised by the spectacle. Impmon let out a secret grin.

‘That’s right! You can thank my big brother for getting these plates made with his gunpowder!’

Having got the crowd’s attention, Impmon kept up the pace by grabbing all the other plates from the bag and one by one threw them up in the air. Then proceeding to make each one explode with his Bada Boom attack. The plates exploding in colourful blasts. The crowd was dazzled by the scene. Especially Celestia, who loved all the colours.

Then as a finisher, Impmon placed three plates together and threw them up as one. Then after firing another flame attack straight up, the three plates exploded in a blaze of glory. Lighting up the stage in a sea of colours before dying down. When the performance ended, the audience cheered. Loving the spectacle. Impmon was stunned. The crowd applauded his efforts. Something HE had done. A bright smile grew on his face. The feeling of acceptance flowing in him.

“Ha. HA! HAHAHAHAHAAA!!! I did it! I made it big!” He cheered.

With the act over, RedLadyDevimon walked back on stage to end Impmon off.

“That’s Impmon and his… firework plates everyone! And now for our ne…!”

The ultimate was interrupted when Impmon rushed further on stage. Fame getting to his head.

“And that’s just the beginning, folks! This new rising talent from Gluttony will rock the world!”

He then received a nudge from the foot of RedLadyDevimon. Hinting to him that he was overstaying his welcome.

“Alright! But there’s time for that AFTER the show!”

Brushing himself from the nudge, Impmon retaliated in a irritated tone.

“Alright! Alright! I can take a hint, ya dumb braud!”

Impmon became startled by an audible gasp from the audience. He looked over to them to see that a lot of them had looks of shock on their faces. All staring at him.

“What? Was it something I said?” He asked.

But the reply he got was a frightening chill up his spine as he sensed a terrifying presence behind him. Slowly turning around, he saw RedLadyDevimon. A fiery red aura burning around her body as she glared down at him in unbridled anger.

“What did you call me!?” She asked with a demonic voice. But clearly already knowing the answer.

Seeing that he offended her, and by seeing how scared some of the crowd were, angering RedLadyDevimon was probably a very bad idea.

“W-Wha! Easy there! I didn’t mean anything! Just a slip of the tongue!”

But the tall Ultimate level Digimon was having none of the excuses. She surprised Impmon by picking him up by his head with her left hand. Then she called over to one of the nightclub members.

“Hay AncientVolcanomon! We got another one for you!”

Forming a small black portal below the held Impmon, and a second appearing above the volcano of the Mega Digimon, RedLadyDevimon shoved the Rookie through the portal and deep into the Digimon’s crater. Impmon’s legs were seen wiggling as he tried to get out.

“Hay! Let me out of here ya overgrown meatball!” He protested. But much to the enjoyment of AncientVolcanomon.

“Get ready, little guy,”

“Alright everyone! Start the count!”

Upon RedLadyDevimon’s command, the crowd began the countdown starting from ten. As the number five was said, AncientVolcanomon’s top began to shake. Much like an actual erupting volcano. All the while the rebellious Impmon tried to climb out. But it was futile.

“Three! Two! ONE!!”

When the countdown ended, AncientVolcanomon erupted. A stream of lava fired from the crater. Launching the yelling Impmon high towards the ceiling. Where a target board was waiting. As the lava got near, the middle of the target board opened up. Letting Impmon and the lava to spew through it and out of the building. The crowd cheered as the nuisance was ejected from the club.

“Haha! Another bullseye!” AncientVolcanomon claimed.

Celestia was the only one who felt bad for the Rookie. But because he was being rude and insulting, she couldn’t help but feel that the punishment was justified. It was the Digimon’s way of kicking unruly people out of the establishment. Not unlike what happens in Equestria. Plus, she guessed ejecting wrong doers was what got AncientVolcanomon his membership.

If one were to look at the target board on the ceiling, the edges were dripping with leftover lava. Just near it was a floating ball of golden light. But it got carelessly close to the board. One of the lava droplets landed on it. The ball of light giving off bell-like chimes of distress as it fluttered downwards. Almost as if it was in pain as smoke vented off of it.

As the crowd calmed down, the crowd turned back to RedLadyDevimon on stage.

“Now let that be a lesson to any newbies! Don’t mess with me!”

The crowd laughed with understanding. Some were laughing nervously. Not wanting to get on RedLadyDevimon’s bad side. Sadly, for IceDevimon, he already was.

The red demoness continued.

“Now for our second act for the evening! This one is a special one! Because it is a gift for the very lucky gentlemen at table twelve!”

Seconds later, a spotlight shined on the named table. Sitting at it was a lone Digimon. A humanoid insect Ultimate named JewelBeemon. The said Digimon flinched in surprise for being called out.

“What!? Me!?” He asked in confusion.

As RedLadyDevimon moved to the side, a second spotlight lit up the centre of the golden stage. And there, standing by the metal pole, was a feminine fairy type Digimon. She was giving JewelBeemon a loving smile as she playfully winked at him.

“L-Lilamon!?” He asked. Surprised to see her on stage.

“JewelBeemon. This dance… is for you,” She replied.

‘Background Music’ ‘Let’s get ready to Rumble by Jock Jams’

As the music began, Lilamon got in position on the pole. Her hands gripping the pole above her head. The crowd were getting restless. They knew what kind of performance the Ultimate was about to do. Much to their excitement.

She was about to pole dance.

Then as the main part of the music began to play, Lilamon didn’t hold back. Dancing and swinging around the pole with moves so smooth and fluid. Her movements had gained the full attention of the crowd. But mostly JewelBeemon. Proving that it was possible to make an insect man blush. Especially the positions she was showing.

On the side-lines, RedLadyDevimon too marvelled at the performance. But as she looked among the crowd, she spotted a familiar face of a certain white devil. Much to her annoyance as she clenched her fists.

Celestia and IceDevimon watched the Digimon having at it. For Celestia, it was her first time seeing a pole dance. While a little questionable with the poses, she could see the joy on Lilamon’s face. And as it was for her love interest, the dance was her expressing such love. She was doing it for him. That the Alicorn loved. She smirked from the thought that it could be something that Cadence would do for Shining Armor.

As the dance continued on stage, the sounds of bell chimes caught Celestia’s ears. Surprised to hear such a sound, Celestia tried to pinpoint the source of the sound. It sounded so small, so she had to be precise. Then as she looked to her right, she saw a small ball of golden light rapidly descending beside her. Landing hard on the floor by her feet and smoke seen emanating from it.

“Huh?” The Alicorn uttered as she leaned down to get a closer look at the light.

As Celestia was distracted, she failed to notice that IceDevimon suddenly got abducted. A red clawed hand reached out of a black portal, grabbed him by his left horn and forcefully pulled him in the portal. Yanking him off his seat.

As Celestia leaned down to get a closer look at the glow by her feet, the said glow eventually faded. The Alicorn was surprised at what she saw. Lying on the ground was a tiny Digimon! Being less than a foot tall, she was the size of an In-Training level Digimon. But she clearly wasn’t. Possibly a Rookie. She was essentially a tiny fairy Digimon. Wearing short green and yellow clothes. Possessing pointy ears, long blonde hair with a ponytail tied by a green bow. Four fairy wings. A pink heart tattoo on her left leg. A necklace with a small yellow bell tied to it. And surprisingly sharp looking red nails that looked like claws. Plus a single red spike on her green boots.

Unbeknownst to Celestia, the very small Digimon was named Tinkermon.

After getting over the surprise of the Rookie’s size, it was there that Celestia noticed trouble. Tinkermon was in pain! Her eyes clenched tight as her body twitched. Trying to resist the pain. The cause of the pain was a nasty burn mark on her upper left wing. Which was caused by the lava droplet earlier.

‘She’s hurt!’ Celestia thought to herself.

Seeing the helpless Digimon in pain, the concerned Alicorn was quick to act. Reaching her hands down, she gently scooped the tiny girl in her hands and lifted her off the floor. Celestia’s eyes widened in disbelief. The tiny creature was so light. She almost weighed nothing.

The feeling of being lifted caught Tinkermon’s attention. Opening her eyes. But seeing that she was in someone’s hand and looking at the face of who it belonged to, the tiny Digimon panicked as she tried to back away. Fearful of the stranger, her rushed movements caused her bell to chime.

“I…It’s ok. I’m not going to hurt you,” Celestia said to her. Trying to reassure the girl.

Tinkermon didn’t know why, but she felt at ease from Celestia’s words. She could sense the genuine care in the anthro Alicorn. Was that the reason? As well as the look of concern from her? But such questions didn’t help quell the pain in her wing. She looked saddened at the burn mark.

That was when the tiny Rookie level Digimon sensed a flow of energy. It wasn’t data. It was something else. Looking up, she could see that Celestia’s horn was glowing gold. Then suddenly, she felt the pain numbing away. Looking back at her wing, she was surprised to see the same golden glow on her injured wing. That and the black scorch mark was fading away. Then within seconds, the burn was no more. As well as the pain.

When Celestia’s healing spell had finished, the glow faded away. She could see Tinkermon blinking in surprise as she began to flex her fairy wings. The look of happiness grew on her face as she felt no pain. Her wings slowly beating harder. To a point where she could hover in the air. Lifting off the Alicorn’s hand. Celestia smiled from seeing the joy on the tiny girl’s face.

“Better?” She asked her.

Tinkermon expressed her answer in the form of zooming around in circles before stopping in front of Celestia’s face. Then proceeding to rush in to hug her right cheek. Her tiny bell rang from all the movement. Celestia couldn’t help but giggle from the affectionate fairy. With the Digimon’s tiny hands against her soft thin fur.

“You’re very welcome,” She said to her.

After feeling gratitude from the Rookie, Celestia saw Tinkermon pulling away as she hovered in the air. Again, her face was bright with a smile. The tiny fairy then let out an expression that looked as though she was giggling. But instead, her tiny bell rang in such a manner. Celestia then watched Tinkermon flying away. The Alicorn closed her eyes in joy. Feeling that she had just made a new friend. And being in a form of a cute little fairy.

But as she turned to face the stage, IceDevimon fell out of a black portal and landed on his seat. To Celestia’s surprise, he was covered in bruises and scratches. The Champion looked weary as he tried to sit up.

“Wha… What happened!?” She asked him. Wondering how he got hurt? When? And how she didn’t hear a thing?

But IceDevimon responded in a way that confused the former princess.

“It’s fine. I deserved that,” He said before he fell flat on his face on the table.

If Celestia paid more attention to Tinkermon, she would’ve noticed that the tiny fairy was flying up to the balcony and flew behind the closed curtains.

As she emerged through the other side, Tinkermon landed on the arm rest of a chair that resembled a throne. A giant throne compared to her size. A throne that was being occupied by someone sitting in it. Someone much larger. As the fairy Digimon sat down, the larger Digimon moved her arm and with her golden gauntlet-like hand, caressed the tiny Rookie’s head with her index finger. Tinkermon smiled in ecstasy from receiving her head pats. But then the hand paused. Almost flinched. Moving towards Tinkermon’s back, the golden index finger slid along the fairy’s wing. Upon contact, the wing gave off a golden glow. As if it were a water droplet, the glow was wiped off the wing and rested on the claw-like finger.

The hand was then brought up for the person to inspect the gold glow. She could sense that it was magic. But magic that was foreign to her. It didn’t belong to any kind of Digimon. The icy blue eyes of the person narrowed inquisitively. Curious of what kind of magic it was. And who it belonged to.

“Hmm?”

Back in the crowd, Celestia was surprised that IceDevimon refused to speak about what happened. He even refused to be healed. All he said to her was that it was punishment for his past act. Something of which he also refused to speak of. But bringing their attention back to the stage, the performance was ending. By the time the music was over, Lilamon finished her act by doing several quick spins on the pole and doing a finishing pose.

“I love you, JewelBeemon,” She said with a bright smile. Huffing for breath from pulling off such dance moves.

The crowd were in an uproar. Cheering and clapping for what they viewed was a stellar performance. Thoroughly enjoying the pole dance. But none were more amazed than JewelBeemon. Who was mind blown from the experience.

“Wow! That was incredible!” He said to Lilamon as she ran over to his side.

But the plant-type Digimon surprised him by tugging on his arm. Trying to get him to stand up.

“And that’s only half of it,” She said as she was giving the insectoid Digimon flirtatious eyes.

“Oh. OH!!!” JewelBeemon uttered. Understanding what his girlfriend was implying.

Leading her boyfriend away, Lilamon giggled as she dragged him to one of the private rooms alongside the stage room.

Seeing how the room was labelled private, and from seeing how flirty Lilamon looked, Celestia could only guess what the room was for. Blushing deeply from realisation. Which was further implied by RedLadyDevimon.

“Ooh! Looks like a certain someone is in for a wild ride tonight!”

The audience chuckled in amusement. Knowing full well what was going on behind closed doors. As for the white Alicorn, it reinforced one of her expectations.

“T-They really are doing it? Aren’t they?” She said quietly to herself. Not wanting to seem to out of touch of what was going on.

Yet another reason why the Layla nightclub was so popular.

As the crowd settled down, RedLadyDevimon was about to continue.

“Now, for our next performa…!”

However, she was interrupted by a sudden flash of green flames right above her. Looking up in surprise, she and the audience silently stared at the ball of fire. Only to see it transform into a miniature version of the Crest of Lust. Then a scroll suddenly emerged from the magic ring. RedLadyDevimon caught the scroll almost immediately. Knowing full well who it was from, she was quick to open the scroll to read what was written inside.

“W-What’s going on?” Celestia asked.

“No idea,” IceDevimon replied.

After taking a minute to read, RedLadyDevimon received a look of surprise before addressing the audience.

“Attention everyone! There has been a change of plans!”

The crowd paid close attention to the red demoness. Celestia felt concerned at first. But the sound of excitement in RedLadyDevimon’s voice showed that the news wasn’t bad. Then, like the others, paid close attention to the announcement.

“This is you’re lucky night! Because gracing us all with her performance, will be the great Demon Lord Lilithmon herself!”

There was a collective gasp coming from the audience. A clear sign that they weren’t expecting such a news so suddenly. Or even knew that the night would be THE night. Within the overwhelmed crowd, Celestia froze with the look of shock on her face. It was the last thing she expected to happen. Let alone on her first time venturing the Digital Underworld.

‘What!? As in… one of THE Seven Great Demon Lords of the Digital World!? L-Lilithmon herself!?’

The stage lights began to dim as RedLadyDevimon spoke to the crowd again.

“So please, give us five to set up the stage!” She said as commotion was heard on stage. Extra pair of hands helping with setting up.

There was a mass of activity from the audience too. Virtually every Digimon in the massive room were tidying themselves up. Celestia looked around at them. Surprised at how everyone was acting. As if they were trying to smarten themselves up for the demon lord to come. Making themselves look more presentable. And to the Alicorn’s surprise, some of the female Digimon were doing the same.

The sight of it made her think. Since Lilithmon was the Lord of Lust, did that mean… the concept of gender had no meaning to her?

She spoke as she looked over to IceDevimon.

“Wow. With how everyone is acting, this Lilithmon must be…!”

She paused when she saw that even IceDevimon was sprucing himself up. As if all his bruises meant nothing, he was spraying aftershave on himself while happily humming. Celestia couldn’t respond to what she was seeing. Why was he putting aftershave when he never had a beard. In fact, where did he even get the aftershave from?

Rather than dwell on it, she turned her attention back to the stage. The stage lights partially lit up. Just illuminating the stage. But one of the spotlights were on a smaller secondary stage. On it looked like a musical band. All set with their instruments.

Then on the main stage, RedLadyDevimon reappeared. Ready to give the introductions.

“Right, everyone! Now is the moment you all been waiting for!”

The crowd were getting restless. Celestia had never seen anyone look so excited. The closest she could compare was whenever her citizens were waiting for her to make an appearance at grand events. When the audience tried to settle down, RedLadyDevimon continued. Finishing the introductions.

“Here to sing for you tonight, is your Digi-host! The Goddess of Darkness! The Queen of Hell! The Embodiment of Lust herself! Lilithmon!”

With RedLadyDevimon retreating in the shadows, the stage was set. The crowd were deathly silent. No one made a peep. As for Celestia, she felt incredibly nervous. Out of place even. She was just moments away from witnessing a live performance of one of the Seven Great Demon Lords. And if the energy she was feeling truly belonged to her, than the Lord of Lust was also very powerful.

All she could do was wait.

As the spotlight grew brighter on the musical band on the secondary stage, most of the crowd turned their sights on them. Celestia included. There on the piano was a Troopmon. Dressed in its custom black tuxedo and red tie. It first looked out to the crowd to see if they had all quieted down. Seeing that the audience were waiting, the Troopmon flexed its short stumpy fingers before hovering his hands over the keys. Ready to play.

‘Background music’ ‘Forsaken by Dream Theater’ (Music only)

The Troopmon began playing the piano. As it continued, there was a little sway in its movements. As if it was enjoying the tunes. Then as it continued, two of the other band members began to play. A pair of Vilemon’s in matching tuxedo suits. One on electric guitar and the other on the drums. The music was loud. Much to the approval of the audience. Then after a couple of seconds, the final member of the band, a second Troopmon on the bass guitar, joined in. Playing together in electric harmony.

After their loud musical solo, the theme died back down to how it was. With the piano playing with the odd beat from the bass. In the audience, Celestia smiled from seeing the band. They were an odd bunch that one wouldn’t think could play instruments. Especially so very well. But they pulled it off and were clearly having a blast. Enjoying themselves. Plus, seeing them in matching suits made them look cute in an odd way.

But she was then distracted. For her ears caught the sound of a womanly voice singing a melody.

“For a time, you thought I was asleep.”

Hearing such a voice caused Celestia to snap her sights back to the main stage. There, along with the rest of the crowd, she saw that the stage was illuminated in night-time blue. There the curtain was closed. But a thick purple mist was seen pluming from the gaps. Steadily filling the room in its haze. There the voice was heard again. Catching the audience’s attention in its alluring tune.

“Lying, everlasting, like a dream.”

In the middle of the curtains where the mist was emanating, a golden clad hand emerged. Gleaming in the light as the fingers folded on the drapes. Then in one swift motion, the hand threw open wide. Opening the curtains and unleashing the mist upon the crowd. Though harmless the mist was, the sudden actions caused the crowd to be surprised. But smiles returned along with a steadily growing cheers as a silhouette began to take shape within the mist. The music also began to explode in unison with the singer.

“Then rising suddenly, you all were quick to bow before me.”

Celestia could only just make out the silhouette as it moved closer across the stage towards the crowd. At first, she felt nervous. For the voice and form belonged to the demon lord. Seeing the red glowing eyes through the thick mist. But confusion began to set in when the form took on a humanoid shape. Much more so than she thought. Quite similar to other humanoid-type Digimon. Even her own kind in Equestria.

“I softly whisper in your ears.”

With a sudden flare of her demon wings, the following blast of air dispelled the mist. Celestia had to close her eyes to the sudden gust. But then she opened them again and looked at the stage. She was met with an unexpected sight. Demon Lord Lilithmon herself!

“Here I come!”

Standing in the heart of the golden stage, the ten-foot-tall demoness was revealed for all to see. She wore an open toed black latex catsuit under long purple robes. Practically resembling a demonic priestess. Plus golden tipped ribbons draped over her curvaceous body. Moving up her body, she had four black demonic bat-like wings on her back. One small pair on her shoulders, and the second larger pair attached just above her waist. The latter of which was adorned in gold rings. Both her feet and her left hand had long purple nails. Her right hand however was a golden gauntlet that travelled up her arm. Further up her bewitching body, one would see that she had pale white skin, ice blue eyes, a pair of golden demon horns on the sides of her head. And her long black hair held up by a series of hairpins. A closer look showed that she had a black bat symbol on her forehead, and also wore purple eyeshadow and lipstick.

Overall, according to every Digimon in the theatre-like nightclub, the sexiest Digimon in the entire Digital World.

“I will prey on you, tonight.”

As Lilithmon continued her song, Celestia couldn’t help but stare in surprise and awe. The Digimon in front of her was nothing what she was expecting. She thought that, because of the diversity of Digimon body types, the Lord of Lust would be good looking only in the eyes of Digimon. But no. She was good looking full stop. Beautiful even.

“So beware!

Gaze in my eyes and hold my hand!

Now surrender to me!”

Ending her first chorus, as the music continued, the crowd erupted in cheers of joy. Already enthralled by what was one of the best performances of their lives. As for Celestia, who remained stunned by Lilithmon’s true appearance, leaned over to IceDevimon for confirmation. All the while staring at the stage.

“Is that really… the Demon Lord Lilithmon?”

“The one and only,” IceDevimon goofily said as he looked as if he had hearts in his eyes. Resting his chin on the palms of his hands. Holding his head up.

The startled Alicorn sat back up straight in her chair. Still not processing what was true.

“She’s stunning,” She quietly uttered. Not expecting the demon lord to look so radiant.

Lilithmon then continued her song as she walked down the stage steps and into the audience. Much to their excitement.

“You waited patiently, for me to rise again.

Hoping to harness the lust within me.”

Lilithmon began to express what she was born to do. As she sang, she began to flirt with the crowd. Moving to one table, where the eagerly waiting BlackWereGarurumon sat up from his chair, the Lord of Lust playfully scratched the underside of his chin with her golden fingers. The werewolf-like Digimon felt all tingly from feeling her fingers. By the time she finished, the Ultimate fell on the table in ecstasy.

“Strolling through the crimson mist, you felt my stinging kiss.

And saw that lipstick stain on your lips.”

Moving over to another table, she placed the index finger of her left hand against the lips of Piximon. The action caused the small Digimon to faint. Lilithmon smiling in response. Having the entire crowd within her palm.

“All through the night and day, be in the sunlight or the dark!”

With the snap of her golden fingers, the fires in all the lanterns went out. Bringing the room in near total darkness. Celestia felt spooked by the sudden lack of light. Almost panicking even. As she darted her head around to try and see anything, her ears could hear Lilithmon’s lullaby.

“My darling don’t you be afraid!”

All the lanterns suddenly were engulfed in purple flames. The fire rose almost as high as the ceiling. Once more illuminating the room, but in purple light. Of which was Lilithmon’s doing. The demon lord twirling with her arms stretched wide. As well as appearing on the other side of the room.

“Here I come!”

Following the sound of Lilithmon’s voice, Celestia looked to her right shoulder and saw the demoness among the crowd. Again, stunned by her performance and, again, how beautiful she looked.

“I will prey on you, tonight!”

The tall demon once again mingled in the crowd. Teasing them with the lustful glare of her eyes.

“So beware!

“Gaze in my eyes and hold my hand!”

As she sang, she tempted one Gazimon into holding her hand. But as he jumped to reach it, Lilithmon pulled her hand back. Leaving the teased Rookie to fall down as she chuckled from his enthusiasm. Levitating off the ground, she twirled as she made her way back to the stage.

“Now surrender to me!”

Landing back in the centre of the golden stage, a dark purple aura began to appear around her. Spreading across the room like growing tendrils. All for show.

“I’ll guide you far away!”

As Celestia watched on with the rest of the crowd, she could see the smile on Lilithmon’s face. She was enjoying herself as she was giving her all.

“Close those eyes, and hold on tight!”

Then the fingers of her golden gauntlet hand began to spark in green energy. Rapidly glowing brighter as it flowed throughout her arm.

“To the edge of the world!”

Throwing her arm up towards the air, Lilithmon fired the green energy bolt seemingly through the ceiling. With the inside of the ceiling being see-through, the energy bolt could be seen sailing higher into the sky. Upon reaching a certain height, it exploded. The blast wave formed the Crest of Lust as it expanded all throughout the Lust Ring. For all to see.

As the song paused for the musical solo, the audience roared in excitement from the spectacle. Applauding, even though the performance hadn’t ended yet. Celestia kept looking at the sky as the giant Crest of Lust faded away. Then averting her gaze down to the Digimon who made it happen. Amazed that someone like her was able to make every Digimon around her putty in her hands. Deep down, she felt a little envious that Lilithmon was making her attraction look so easy. Likely a perk for being the embodiment of lust.

She became lost in her thoughts as she watched.

‘I see why everyone here is fawning for her. Just look at her. Full of confidence. She’s… actually incredible. And she’s…!’

The Alicorn princess’s thoughts froze when it happened. As Celestia kept watching, she saw Lilithmon about to move towards the crowd. However, when the demoness looked in her direction, she paused with a look of surprise on her face. Celestia flinched with wide eyes of shock.

‘…LOOKING RIGHT AT ME!!!’

The Sun Princess didn’t know what to think as she was being stared at by the Demon Lord Digimon. Had she not seen her kind before? From not being a Digimon, was she not welcome? Could Lilithmon sense it? That she was not a Digimon at all? Will she be chucked out? Be punished? Was she trespassing? All sorts of questions filled Celestia’s mind. Uncertain what Lilithmon was going to do.

But something did happen. At first, Lilithmon stared at Celestia in surprise. Then a smile grew in its place. A soft toothy grin plastered on her face as the music solo ended. The demon lord resuming her song. Walking towards the edge of the stage.

“Here I come!”

Celestia blinked in complete surprise. Lilithmon was resuming her song. But the way she was singing while looking right at her, it looked as if she was singing to her. And was further startled that the demoness was walking in her direction. All the while being unsure why she was smiling at her.

“I will prey on YOU tonight!”

Using her demonic magic, Lilithmon vanished into black smoke. Then immediately appearing in front of Celestia. The startled Alicorn flared out her feathered wings in surprise as she stared up at Lilithmon. Who was standing on the table looking down at her.

“So beware!”

While surprised, the shock Celestia was feeling was replaced in confusion. Lilithmon truly was singing as if it was to her. All the while entertaining the crowd with her performance. She froze in response. Unsure what the demon lord was going to do.

“Gaze in my eyes and hold my hand!”

Lilithmon began to lean down towards Celestia. IceDevimon rose up from his seat. Excited to see the Demon Lord of Lust up close. But as soon as he did, Lilithmon placed her golden right hand on his face and shoved him aside. All the while locking her eyes with the anthro Alicorn. Nothing getting in her way as she leaned closer.

“Here I am!

Fly away with me tonight!”

Extending the back of her right hand towards the surprised Celestia, Lilithmon gently caressed her face. The golden index finger moving aside some strands of the mane as it slid down her cheek to the bottom of her chin. Celestia felt a tingle up her spine from the touch. It felt so soft. So… tender. All the while staring at her illuminating blue eyes.

“Now beware!”

With her finger under Celestia’s chin, Lilithmon tilted her hand up slightly. The Alicorn let out a surprised yelp from having her head held up. Almost standing up from her chair. Despite it, the shocked princess continued to stare silently into Lilithmon’s eyes as she smiled back. Getting rather close with her new guest.

“Renew my life, now you are mine!”

Lilithmon then pulled away to stand back up. As the demoness pulled her hand away, almost sliding her finger away from Celestia’s chin, the Alicorn suddenly felt a strange sensation within her body. Through her back and out of her shoulders. Causing her to jolt forward on the table. The look of complete surprise on her face from the sensation. In time for Lilithmon to close off her song.

“Now surrender… to…me!”

With a wave of her hand, Lilithmon turned into clouds of black magic. Hopping from one table to another as she made her way back to the stage. The crowd roared even louder than before. Applauding as the band played out the closing music. The four musicians had done a brilliant job enhancing the song with their music.

Back at her table, Celestia was breathing heavily from the shock of what had happened. The experience caused her to heat up and her face to burn red. Sweat began to form as she tried to calm down. Staring at the table. But her thoughts were all over the place. Confused and surprised, all she could do was tilt her head up to look at the stage. As the music began to die down, she saw her. Retaking her physical form, Lilithmon motioned towards the side curtains that led backstage. As Celestia watched her, Lilithmon pushed the curtain aside to walk through. But before she did, she slowed down and without moving her head, stole one more glance at the Alicorn. Smiling at her before disappearing from view.

‘Music end’

Celestia froze again. She could’ve sworn that Lilithmon just glanced at her one more time. With a rush of emotions coursing through her very being, completely confused at all that happened, Celestia needed to cool down. Unable to bare the heat she was feeling from her head, she rushed to find the nearest restroom. Quickly following the other female Digimon to find one.

Back by the table she was at, IceDevimon remained on the floor. Despite being shoved to the ground, the look of ecstasy was plastered on his face.

“Heeheee… she… touched me…”

Author's Note

Wow. It's been 5 months since I was last on this story. Glad to be back.

I hope you all like the different roles I gave to several Digimon here. With her only appearance being in 1 or 2 episodes of Xeros Wars, I think it's high time someone gave RedLadyDevimon some love.

As for Lilithmon's entrance, I tried to think of all sorts of ways to finally introduce her. But the best I could think of is have her do a musical number. To which I faced a problem.

According to the rules of this website, songs can only be used in fanfics if...
1: Are not copyrighted
2: Are from MLP:FIM series
3: Have the word pony in it?
Or 4: Completely invent your own
(Which is strange since I've read some stories with copyrighted songs but are still on this site.)
So when it came to writing this chapter, I had to go with option 4. With 'Forsaken by Dream Theater' as a baseline, but with the lyrics heavily altered to suit what was going on in the story. And make it different as possible. I'm confident it still counts. I hope.

(If you have free time, try grouping the changed lyrics together and read them while listening to the original song. Preferably the female cover. I tried it myself and I think it's brilliant. But I'm not a song writer, so I hope I did good for my first ever attempt. It did took me a long while to put it together.)

But anyway, I hope all of you enjoy Lilithmon's introductory. As well as look forward to what could come next. Please leave a comment. Leave a like. And I'll see you all later.
