As the two were trying to get their report ready, Daichi sat at a table wide enough to show all of the realms, taking notes on the situation at multiple places but on in particular. The part of his grandson stealing a boat for the so called "Hero of the Realms", the old God of the Sun, and a pirate they had just met. He brushed his chin as he looked at the information before, without moving his head, looked to his left to see his pupil bowing to her master and asking if he was busy. As he sighed softly, he waved his hand to make the table drop down to be apart of the floor, standing up straight before speaking softly,"You..failed me, child.." He wasn't in the mood for being kind as he turned to his left, directly toward Jezebel and Lucifer. He walked toward his pupil before stopping inches away before placing one finger against the black jewel on her crown before speaking once again,"I saw everything...you let Vincent trick you..my smartest pupil...being tricked by a boy.." Daichi moved his hand down to his sides before taking in the small amount of silence. He was beyond angry but didn't show it. All he did was look at the ceiling for a few moments before looking back down to his pupil with his emotions within his eyes,"You...FAILED ME!" The daemon king, with lightning speed, swung the back of his right hand against her right cheek hard enough to make her fall against the ground. Electricity flowed around him in a violent manner as he brushed off the blood from the back of his blue hand before beginning to walk back to his throne with a soft sigh,"You had such potential..and yet you broke my dead heart.."
"You may think you have the upperhand but now I call Checkmate.."
Hearing the sad words come out of his mouth, hurt her deep down. She has never disappointed Master Daichi before but this time she has and it was killing her inside to have to come back with such bad news for him when he trusted her to get a job done for him. When he said that it was actually Vincent that had tricked her, she put all of the pieces together and closed her eyes to the disappointment that she had in herself as she thought about it. No wonder him and Lucifer were not on the best of terms when she had to leave. If only Lucifer had told her so she would have not been so confused when they had to leave so abruptly. Why was she the one being left out of important little details like this when they needed her most to look into it.
When Master Daichi yelled out just how angry he was with her she opened her eyes just in time to see his back hand connect with her right cheek and with so much strength that she fell to the floor beside Lucifer. Her eyes went wide and pushed herself up from the floor with her arms and reached her right hand up to cup her cheek from the pain she was feeling from the impact. Tears threatened to escape her eyes but she blinked her eyes enough for her eyes to look teary but not one rolled down her cheeks or else Master Daichi would see that as a weakness and be even angrier at her. Her hair was covering her face thankfully so that he wouldn't be able to she the facial expressions she was going through and the embarrassment she felt. Feeling something running down the side of her mouth, she brought her right hands index and middle finger to wipe at the corner of her mouth to see the damage. She brought her hand out in front of her to see and the blood was running down the side of her middle finger just to tell her that it was bleeding quite a bit for it to run down her finger with her just touching it. She wiped her mouth with the side of her hand to try and not have it look so bad as she started to stand back up. Lucifer could only whine in agony to see how Jezebel took the blame for what he had done. His ears were flopped down to show how distressed he was at the time. Jezebel put out her left hand with her palm facing him in a 'stop' gesture so that nothing else would anger Master Daichi and their punishment would be even worse than what he would think of now.
Fixing her hair to not be in her face she stood up again with her head still down to not look at him but didn't say a word until he said that she broke his dead heart. Logically she didn't know how she could break a dead heart but it didn't stop her from feeling guilty about it. She softly spoke in a whisper loud enough for him to hear but was on the verge of choking on the words to come out "I'm sorry Master that I have severely disappointed you..." somehow she was able to speak that much but was still fighting back the tears her eyes wanted to release from the hurt she was going through emotionally and physically.
Daichi heard her stand back up, seeing how he was facing away from her but he knew that she needed to be punished. Sitting back in his throne, the daemonic king glared his electric blue and golden eye toward his pupil. While he sat there, a portal opened behind his throne chair before showing a new face to Jezebel. A man with red hair shined bright with aura as powerful as Vin's only dark. Daichi looked at his apprentice before speaking up,"Karuma...what did I have you do when you failed to kill Vincent Angel..." The apprentice sighed softly as he took off his organization xiii coat to show that there was burn marks against his wrists. He sighed softly before speaking up,"Daemons...Daemons took me to the island for a week straight..beat me..cut me...made me bleed, Master..." Daichi nodded softly before looking back toward Jezebel with a soft smile on his face. He knew he had to make an example. He stood up tall before looked down at the ground below them just as daemons appeared with chains in their hands behind Jezebel. The chains had enchantments written all around them which Daichi spoke once again,"Put on the chains, young one.."
"You may think you have the upperhand but now I call Checkmate.."
Feeling another presence in the room made Jezebel a little more nervous as to what her punishment would be for disobeying their Master. She knew she shouldn't look up for too long so she looked up with her eyes slightly to see that another man was in the room with Master Daichi. Averting her eyes back to look down with her head still down she listened as Master Daichi asked the person what happened to him as he failed to kill the exact same person. No wonder their master was so angry, she was not the only one that had failed to kill the person he needed to be assassinated to keep his world in peace. When the red headed man started to explain what had happened to him she couldn't help but look up to see the awful burn marks that were on his wrists. She grimaced slightly looking at them but she put her head back down with too many thought running through her head as to what her punishment would be because she was trusted with the very same mission but failed him.
Something or someone appeared behind her and she quickly turned her head to see that more daemons were there and one in particular held a pair of chains in his hands that was signaling it was just for her. Sure she loved chains just like any other daemon, but not these. These chains had ancient writing on them as an enchantment for her to be like a mere human with horns on her head. And if she was looking at it correctly, this one might even deplete her of any energy she has which would make her even less capable of doing anything than a human. When Master Daichi told her to put the chains on her wrists, she spared a glance back to him before turning back to the daemons and reaching both of her arms out with her hands in a gentle fist with her wrists upwards in a cooperative gesture. The daemons put the chains on her wrists tightly and she slowly turned back to face the throne that he was sitting in with her head still faced down as she started to feel the chains take effect on her magic and strength. She knew this was only a part of her punishment so she awaited what the other part of her punishment would be. More than likely it will be just like the other man in the room, which she would dread but would take it head on because she messed up his plans.
She looked over to see that another daemon was putting a chained collar around Lucifer's neck that had a chain attached to it like they were going to put him against something, which had her heart sink because he was going to be punished by possibly watching the whole thing but not being able to do anything about it.
Daichi watched as his daemon apprentice was cooperative with the chains, making him brush his chin before speaking up,"You will be sent to the Island of Daemon Tears where you'll be hanging by your arms for a week. Each night, there will be a new punishment for you that you'll have to go through. Do you have any questions?" Daichi leaned forward in his throne chair with his hands covering his lips as Karuma kept his arms crossed. He knew what she was about to go through so he almost felt sorry for her but it was better than being brainwashed by his master. Looking down, Karuma spoke softly to his master,"How about next time, you'll send us both there to kill the Angel?" "If I wanted your opinion, boy...I would ask for it...why would I take two failed apprentices together to do the same mission they've tried two times before?", Daichi spoke to Karuma with a little bit of harshness in his voice. His eyes shined bright in anger as he continued to speak,'There is a chance you two will succeed..but there is also a chance you two will die by his hand...and from what I saw, the corruption has already begun...his eyes, my child...his eyes are showing the corruption of darkness..."
"You may think you have the upperhand but now I call Checkmate.."
Taking a deep breath in she got the courage to lift her head up to Master Daichi and look him straight in the eyes to show she was ready for any punishment that was brought her way "I have no questions over my punishments." It was better to not know anything coming her way so that she doesn't dread it even more. And as for the place he was sending her to, she hasn't heard very good things about the place but she was willing to get her punishment over with so that she can put it behind her and go on in life. As long as it didn't have to do with her abilities after the fact she will endure with whatever she had to. But the chains were now starting to slowly feel heavier and heavier and she let her arms relax and go limp in front of her to try not to use too much energy since she will definitely need it later.
When she heard the other man ask a question her eyes travelled to him for a second until she heard Master Daichi speak harshly to him. Her head bowed down again as to not be on the receiving end of anger again. Who knows what might happen if she were to anger him even more than he was now with her.
Corruption? Jezebel was a bit confused as to what he meant by his eyes looking like they were corrupted. All she knew was that his eyes were the color of her madeira citrine crystals that she had in her box in her room. If that is what he was talking about then could the color of his eyes mean the opposite of what the crystals had meaning for? Did that mean he was going to be on Master Daichi's side? But if that was the case, why would he want him dead if he was going to turn into the person he is wanting him to be? She took it out of her mind since she was more than likely not going to see him again so she will just leave it at that and not worry about it. And since she wasn't able to use her abilities when the chains were on she awaited to be sent out of his sight especially since her face was not in good shape and was beginning to turn red and blood still running down her chin from her lip.
Daichi looked back his female pawn before sighing softly, opening a portal that lead to the Island of Daemon tears. He rubbed his temples on his head as Karuma asked politely,"With the darkness taking over him, why would you still want to kill him??" "The darkness doesn't have a master..", Daichi explained as he watched his daemons drag the chains connecting to her wrists toward the portal. As the four daemons went through the portal, the chains began to pull against Jezebel to slowly drag her to the portal, long enough for her to listen in on why he needed to die,"The darkness will only take over a host..darkness will consume everything into nothingness but the same thing is...so will the light...the son of Arigane must die because if he were to take over the throne, whatever side he is on...there will be a disruption against balance..."
"You may think you have the upperhand but now I call Checkmate.."
As Jezebel was dragged off to the portal that Master Daichi she looked over to her left to see that Lucifer had his head held downwards and stood walking beside her. She hated to see him like this but there was nothing she could do to help him in this predicament since he was stuck with her. All she could do was give him encouraging words "Keep your head up, don't let this get to you. I'm a tough girl I can handle it." she tried to assure him even though her thoughts were running wild with if she was going to be able to handle it or not.
As they departed through the portal she caught what Master Daichi and the other man were saying at the last minute and decided to keep it on her mind for safe keeping for if something were to go wrong in the future. Taking a deep breath she lifted her head up and walked through the portal with no fear on her face to take her punishment head on.
Karuma watched as the woman was dragged off into the portal, not showing any emotion for he knew exactly what was going to happen to her. He turned his head slightly toward his master before speaking,"I shall head back to Lucis.." Daichi watched his apprentice being lead into the portal with eyes piercing toward her. He knew this would be good for her to understand that decisions have consequences as he made the portal disappear from his throne room after the daemons disappeared with Jezebel. The rest of his daemon followers bowed to their king as Daichi turned his head toward Karuma before speaking softly,"Let me know when it is done.." Karuma bowed his head slightly, showing respects to the daemon king turned god. He turned around before going through a portal of his own. He held a briefcase in his right hand as he went through for his new look as he disappeared into the darkness. Daichi sighed softly as he closed his eyes, watching through the jewel of Jezebel's tiara to see what happens to her.

The door was open to reveal the worn out Arachne with her damaged arm and sleeve. She held her burnt arm with a lot of cuts as she winced, she approached to Daichi and hang her head in shame, "I have failed you to grab your grandson, my army were outnumbered by four astral gods before Bahamut appeared," she reports her mission to him. She winced once more because of Mitsuki's purification power and Ramuh's Judgement Bolt combine with Chirasengo damaged her arm.
Daichi closed his eyes as he could see a new vision. A vision of his apprentice taking over the throne within Lucis, blood staining everywhere around him. This made the daemon king smile softly before hearing the large doors open to show who it was. Arachne was bleeding and was hurt viciously which meant she was hurt and could have been killed if she didn't leave fast enough. Luckily, she did which only made him stare at his goddess. It wasn't the same stare as the one for Jezebel for he saw that she was not hurt and came empty handed. Brushing his chin with his index and thumb, Daichi looked at his daemon followers before they rushed to her air, giving her the treatment she needed as she explained what had happened. He learned of these Astral Spirits back when he was in chains down below, making him only sigh before speaking,"Have a seat, Arachne..we'll step back and plan for another attack.."

Arachne was appreciated for daemon gave her a medicate treatment, before she sat on her throne. She sighed deeply, but she's not happy about Mitsuki defeating her with Astral Gods help. She listened to Daichi about step back and plan for another attack. She closed her eyes, "Very well, and Mitsuki wanted me to deliver a message to you before this happen," she replied and added about the message, before she lifted her damaged arm.
Lord Daichi chuckled softly at the message that Mitsuki told Arachne to give to him. He knew that Mitsuki will be tough to defeat but he also knew that day or night, he will get his prize back to him. He felt as though this child could still be manipulated or, if he truly was determined to stop him, he could always give him the brainwashing treatment like Karuma. Daichi sat back in his throne chair, looking over at Arachne getting her arm treated by the daemons around her. There were about five of them staring at her pretending to help her but Daichi knew that the creatures were just looking at her figure in which Daichi growled loudly, making all the daemons run away into the darkness in fear, waiting for Daichi's next orders,"I'm sorry for that, goddess..don't worry about the boy for I might have an idea.."

Arachne closed her eyes from Daichi's reply, "She wanted me to tell you that you may have took over the entire realms, but she won't allow you to get your own claws on Ardyn," she said to deliver a message to Daichi, Arachne seems to aware that Mitsuki was serious when it comes to child. She did learn about her past, some of men, like her adopted grandfather, Atticus, Kyle, Desmond, and Vincent, were look after her. Arachne can tell that she's just a teenager, so that might have explains why Mitsuki decide to follow their footsteps to look after Ardyn. She glanced at daemon, aware that they were looking at her figure, but she choose to ignore that. She glanced at him about he might have the plan, "You might have some thought of your mind?"
"We could use an old trick of mine to trick the boy..this might be fun..", Daichi spoke softly as he stood up from his throne, summoning a hologram into the middle of the throne room. A man was in chains within Hades' dungeon, darkness pulling him back from the past. Fighting against Daichi's son, Atticus, who was basically his equal. The man groaned softly as Daichi could use his brainwashing to create a killing machine,"This boy...he was my favorite..fighting for order until..until Atticus confused him and took him off the path of being the true ruler of the realms...my favorite son.."
"You may think you have the upperhand but now I call Checkmate.."
