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.
