Author's note: this will be the new one after Demonic Partnership that contains the same characters as my Demonic Partnership but from now on because of how the story has developed it will now be known as Demonic War. This is a work of fiction with the villains though the bits within the nightmare later on in this chapter is based on what I go through as a male sexual abuse victim. Enjoy.

The next day at 7:00am
Slamaria awoke to being in bed alone as Simon was nowhere to be found. Slamaria walked through the mansion in her demon form, due to Slamaria going to bed in her demon form. She couldn't feel Simon at all even through the mark which means he was either unconscious or he was supressing his side of the link keeping himself hidden. Slamaria was walking down a empty corridor as there was a gym down one of the corridors that no demon uses, however the humans that live with the demons used the gym though the humans wouldn't been using the gym at this time in the morning.
When Slamaria got to the entrance of the gym she could see random dark clouds appearing around the punching bag mounted from the ceiling. Slamaria didn't know it but it was Simon as his shadow sphere was mutated to such an extent that he could now teleport exactly like Nightcrawler in X-men. Slamaria could see the punching bag which could be calibrated to whatever the person desired as a way of showing the humans that lived with them once they received the injection, which would give them a demons power in such a extent that they would become homo-sapiens+ the next evolution of humanity.
Slamaria checked the setting on the punching bag which was by the doorway, she found that it was set up for a demon bigger than any she had faced besides the sovereigns of course. "Simon?" Slamaria said loud enough to be heard over the sound of the bag being punched. Upon saying this Slamaria saw that the person teleporting had stopped as he was standing in front of the punching bag.
"Didn't you get any sleep?" Slamaria asked Simon.
"I slept for a month and I couldn't last night as I am trying to master my new abilities as well as the old ones." Simon replied to Slamaria's question.
"Would that be due to the radiation you absorbed a month ago?"
"Yes it is Slamaria."
"Have you managed to learn how to use your abilities my love?"
"Some of them Slamaria, I learnt to Teleport, transform, absorb, change their minds to my will, stop time, accelerate time to a precise spot but those are the only ones I have mastered though I can still use my old abilities."
"You can also manage to hide the fact that your half demon really well. I could hardly sense you at all even through the mark." Simon didn't realise that he was doing it he then removed the block that he placed there un-consciously. They were both leaving the gym when the reborn Madison Ivy was walking into the gym though the rebirth knocked the mind altering out of her about only having sex with Simon.
As they past Madison said. "Lord Simon." Simon nodded in acknowledgement as he got to his and Slamaria's study. He marvelled at the fact that in the year since he became a demon lord his plan to allow both humans and demons to live and work in harmony, this was the plan and he hoped that the rest of the world could do this. Simon had been keeping up with the news and since his mutation of spheres he could identify the demons even while they are in their human forms.
Simon got to the study where him and Slamaria handled business when he noticed that the communicator in his ear was buzzing signalling a call. "Hello."
"Simon glad I caught you we have made a breakthrough with the mutant spawn though we are thinking about renaming them Meta-humans based off the DC tv series & comic books the flash." It was Jess that much Simon could figure out from the voice though he realised how much he missed that voice among all of the voices of everyone at the mansion after being held hostage for a month.
"What's the breakthrough?" Simon asked.
"Better if you see it as it is remarkable."
"I am on my way." The conversation ended as he sent a message to Slamaria via the mark.
"My love there has been a breakthrough with the experiments Jess, Rebecca and all the other scientists have been doing meet me in the labs."
"Sure thing."
With that Simon headed to the lab where he was shocked to see the lab in so much commotion due to the breakthrough. Simon couldn't remember a time where all the scientists human, demon and half breeds were all excited. Simon was just about to walk into the lab when Slamaria was approaching from behind. Slamaria was also in her demon form as in private she didn't use her human disguise.
As Simon and Slamaria walked into the lab together they noticed that the equation that was on the board at the far back of the massive room had changed. The equation was a simple on of trying to isolate a specific gene in humans when Simon left nearly 2 months ago, "Simon." Jess shouted her voice dripping with excitement. As she ran over to Simon and Slamaria they were both greeted by a bubbly, happy Jess followed by the other scientists and Rebecca.
"What's your big discover?" Simon asked the group.
"We have done it! We've figured out how to safely combine the power of a demon with human DNA, while keeping the human as much as a human being so he or she could walk the streets and no one would know." Jess replied with excitement in her voice.
"That's a big jump are you sure it will work?" Slamaria asked Jess.
"Yes we are completely sure we ran simulations, doubled checked the equation. We even tried it on Caty with the power from a speed demon that we acquired thanks to the co-operation of the ripper who extracted it from one of Malcolm's demons that was sent to us. With remarkable results." Jess stated showing Simon and Slamaria to the screen where the footage was of the last session only a few hours ago. Complete with scans on the right hand side of the screen that showed Caty's life signs.
As the footage was played both Simon and Slamaria noticed that while Caty was using her new abilities her life signs were holding steady. Jess was right they did achieve what was deemed unachievable, the footage was a few minutes after those minutes were up Jess waited for it to sink in before she revealed another breakthrough that was made by accident.
"We have also configured the same equation and formulae to cure cancer." Jess said to Simon and Slamaria.
"WHAT!" both Simon and Slamaria said in unison completely amazed at these discoveries.
"We have found a way to cure any types of cancer, all be it by a mistake but nevertheless we can cure cancer." Jess replied in response to their question.
"How do you know it will work in practice other then the theoretical work." Slamaria asked Jess. As Jess and the other scientists in the room looked at Slamaria quite shocked that she wasn't just a demon that was for show, she could hold her own with a scientific discussion which she was doing with Jess.
"Send the prototype of the drug according to the equation to the United Nations so they can test the usefulness of the drug under the two conventions." Simon said when they all noticed that the siren was being sound. This meant that all the demon lords/ladies were being summoned for an emergency session, according to all the demons this meant that they is a huge threat of war.
"We need to get the portal active ASAP so we can be where the Sovereign is to attend the emergency session." Slamaria said her voice filled with terror and urgency.
"Come on then Slamaria let's go and face this together." Simon replied to Slamaria.
As Simon grabbed Slamaria's hand he teleported and within a matter of seconds they were in the dispatch room where all portals are sent both coming into the mansion and going. It is heavily guarded by wrath demons but there are a few ascended demons who have mastered the use of matter manipulation which means they can make you do whatever they want or just explode you from the inside. However they chose to kill you once they lock onto your unique body signature you are at their mercy. Similar to the Teller in the Time Heist, Doctor Who series 8 except instead of your mind turning to soup as they did in Doctor Who you could end up with no bones or your very existence is snuffed out.
As the portal was opened without the use of the scroll as during the night while Simon wasn't sleeping he created a working model of the prototype he lashed together while in Malcom's domain. Though Simon had addressed the total destruction issue that happened at Malcolm's mansion upon them leaving, which Simon and Slamaria was informed of by one of the people in the tactics room as real time footage showed the entire mansion in flames. This was down to the cooling not being right after use as the scroll they used to open portals tore a hole, briefly, in the time-space continuum. The cooling Simon had created a few hours before addressed that and this was the second testing of the machine as the first on was to pick up the mail from his house in Wolverhampton fully clothed of course. Where he picked it up mostly just bank letters, a few bills and a weird letter written in a language that Simon could only think was the forgotten language of demons. Simon had teleported back to the mansion seeing if his teleporting power had grown to a degree which let him teleport over long distances. He could though he wanted to test it coming from where the Sovereign was. This idea would have to wait as they needed to get to the court where the Sovereign resigns. As the portal opened both Simon and Slamaria stepped through, this portal took them to the court as they were greeted by the black mass that was the sovereigns shroud.
At the Sovereign Court
All around the court portals were being opened and one or two demon lords/ladies were stepping through them none of them talked to each other as everyone besides Simon was on edge as this must've been dire to be summoned. The Sovereign was on his platform as he was during the court though the platform was stationary. The Sovereign started talking after a few minutes as all the relevant demons were present to begin the emergency session.
"I have called you all here as the threat we have been expecting is coming quicker than myself and other sovereigns in this region are having these sessions to come up with a plan of combating this."
"Who are the ones who want to start the war?" Someone shouted out from all the demon lords and ladies who are present.
