Show me your smile [Beelzemon x Reader]

4: Church of Hell

At the altar a lot of Bakemon seem busy. A bigger digimon at the back of the altar seems to be commanding the Bakemon. You see the egg at the center of the altar, in between two flags that hang from the ceiling with a weird printed symbol. It looks somewhat similar to what a car's gear map is drawn like, but not really since it's all weird and yellow. You skulk around in between the benches, slowly reaching the front of the altar.

The gun and the scarf are right next to the egg but on a separate table. Now the bigger digimon approaches. It has a scythe and it's wearing a hood to cover its head.

Phantomon
Ghost Digimon
Level: Ultimate
Attribute: Virus
Attacks: Shadow Scythe, Words of Death, Diabolic Star

Ultimate level Digimon... It's the first time you heard of one. Nonetheless you skulk to the altar and reach for the gun. No, your hand is blocked by a scythe. "The human has arrived I presume." You get up and shake your head. "No, I'm not human" you try to convince. "What are you then? A digimon?" Phantomon asks. "Yes. I'm... uhh.. BanchoLadymon and those are my gun and my scarf. Got a problem with that?" Phantomon looks at you with distrust. "Those are the fallen Demon Lord's possessions. How could you have gained them?" "Well I was powerless and I almost died, but the Demon lord told his pride wouldn't have let a dweller of darkness like me die before his eyes. Then he gave me the gun and the scarf to help me protect myself. He left after that."

"Unbelievable... So you're one of our cult?" Phantomon asks you with enthusiasm. "Yes, I could say I'm one of you. But I thought that I'd take the Demon Lord to the Village of Beginnings to save all of you from such trouble" you lie with a great talent. "But didn't you know? If we find the human and make it a sacrifice to the Demon Lord, he'll awaken with his full power immediately!" You smirk. "I was the one entrusted with the egg. Would you like a duel with me, Phantomon?" The Digimon chuckles. "Yes of course. But without any external resources to help you fight." You spit. "And the winner keeps the egg and can do anything with it. Deal."

The two of you get out to the graveyard. It seems to be the battlefield. You have nothing but your fists now. Now it's not time to be nervous. You believe in your own abilities - you have trained self defense since a pre-schooler though. A Bakemon on the side is shouting the start sequence.

Start. Phantomon comes at you with the scythe. You do a backflip and kick it towards another direction. It gets stuck in the ground. Phantomon tries to get it off as you charge in with a double-elbow-downwards-hit. You're still struggling on how to name it. It didn't have much of an effect though. Phantomon gets its scythe off and you jump backwards. "You were right, you are weak. How I mourn losing such a devoted Demon Lord follower like you." You spit on your right and your eyes set aflame. "I'm not losing to a dirty old cloth like you..." Your Digivice starts emitting a light and it wraps around your fist. You know just what to do. The energy turns purple and concentrates at your palm, forming a non-solid energy gun, similar to Berenjena. You inhale and grin with a mean look in your eyes. As you rush towards Phantomon, it panics. The left hand is also covered with a mass of purple energy. It cuts the scythe in two and the right hand just places the gun on Phantomon's forehead and shoots. "There. Am I still a weakling?"

Phantomon evaporates. "BanchoLadymon has won!" Bakemon shouts out. The other Bakemon back away. You look at your hands amazed. "Wow..." You glare at the Bakemon after you stand up. "Retrieve me the egg of the Demon Lord. I'll look after it. Sacrificing a human won't help you resurrect him. He himself trusted his egg to me. If you bunch want to be useful, keep this place in a good condition so we can return here and possibly make this his lair." You get the egg, the gun and the scarf. You tie the scarf around your neck and place the gun where it was before. "I'll be off. Contact me if you've got problems. We'll help if we're close." As you wave to them and walk down the hill, the sun starts to rise. The purple energy shapes itself as a black bancho-style jacket on your shoulders, as if it mimicked a cape.

You arrive at a crystal city. It's as empty as your wallet after a night out. According to your Digivice, the Village of Beginnings isn't far. You start wondering why the city is so empty. A small Digimon from the shadows whispers. "Hey.. Get over here! Otherwise they will find you!" You look at the direction and hide there. "This way." It leads you to an underground passage.

The Digimon in front of you was all white, with blue clothes. 'A reverse smurf???' you think to yourself. It brings you to a huge underground facility, like an overgrown bomb shelter with too many luxuries. You see it turn around. "I'm Spadamon. This is the Crystal City's shelter. You were lucky to have me find you."

Spadamon
Level: Unknown
Type: Weapon Digimon
Attribute: Unknown
Attacks: Sugar Pound, Blue Brave, Aurora Blazer

"I used to travel around the Digital World, but then I stayed helping these Digimon. These are Icemon, the original habitants of the city. Keramon came about to this town a long time ago, multiplied and evolved. Now they are multiplying and eating away any Digimon they see. We're making up a plan to overthrow them, but all the plans before this one have been in vain and we've lost many great Digimon."
