One Step Forward.

Everett and the Virtues stand as they face the 4 members of The Order of the 7. Time is ticking as the ritual is almost complete.

"Ahhhh" Everett charges straight at Luxk. He begins to swing his sword rapidly at Luxk. Luxk dodges all the advances and swings that Everett has thrown at him. "Interesting blade you have here the legendary 7-branched sword," Luxk asks as Everett is swinging his sword. Luxk then looks at Everett's crest on his forearm "Ahh I see so he has chosen you 7." "So you know who we are now," Everett asks. "The Heavenly Virtues," Luxk says. "That doesn't mean anything if-." Luxk stops Everett's blade mid-swing with his hand "-you don't know what you're doing." Everett is in shock as Luxk holds his blade "Courage, The Chosen One, no. After a short pause. "All I see in front of me is a fool with fear in his eyes. I admire your Courage but that won't stop me and it won't stop the sins when they arrive" Luxk says.

Everett steps back and points his blade at Luxk "We will stop you." His blade then delivers and giant blast straight at Luxk. But he opens a shadow and disperses the blast somewhere else. "Hmm, interesting sword. I' 'll have fun for a bit."

"There must be a way to stop the summoning ritual," June asks as she asks the others.

"Maybe we can try to remove the bodies or defeat the mage who controls it Everett seems to be attempting that," Mae says.

"Well looks like that's what imma do," Marx charges and blitzes toward the bodies."

"That idiot." June says "Alice what do you think we should d-".

Alice is already ahead of them trying to remove the bodies Dillia follows close behind.

June was distraught "Dang there off too. What should we do?" Mae opens multiple portals to teleport on the bodies. "Here let's just remove the bodies the others aren't going to grab."

The 6 all attempt to remove the bodies from the ritual but they got get stopped by marionettes. "Come on guys it's not going to be that easy," Dxn says. "You guys really thought you could do it while we're here," Xella says. "Show us what you guys have gained Heavenly Virtues."

Alice, Dillia, and June move by the statues where the bodies are held against Alexia.

Marx Chonsee and Mae face both Dxn and Xella.

"You ready for round 2" Alexia taunts the 3 girls.

"Oh, it will go much different this time," Alice says.

FZZZZZ

Everyone stops almost as if time had frozen.

Luxk stops in his tracks "Ahh the time has come to welcome his legion to the new world."

"WHAT," Everett says "I had thought we had time."

"Oh dear, you guys were passed out for quite some time now," Xella states.

"It was very tempting to not make you guys into one of my marionettes but I didn't expect you guys to wake up," Dxn says.

"It is time," Xella said.

The whole atmosphere in the room changes the seal to the demon realm now opens. There now is a hole in the ceiling of the temple as the moon is clear. The moon begins to turn crimson red. Thunderstorms begin to form. The Virtues get chills sent down their spines as the temperature of the room begins to drop. They can't move as their bodies didn't allow them too. The Order of the 7 also is stunned and nervous to bear witness to this power.

7 shadows emerge. 7 demonic beings. Their roars and cries are heard and echo across the temple. They begin to grow soft as these beasts begin to shift into a more human form.

Voshh

The first demon appears with an appearance of a young man with messy curly hair and red eyes. He lays on the throne with a crown barely on his face. With lower-ranked demons named imps carrying him on a throne. "The human realm" Yawn "It's been ages I can't wait to make everyone work for me. Am too tired for this do we really have to do this plan now." "Oh humans I am The Sin of Sloth Belphegor," he says.

June begins to move as she runs towards Sloth.

" When you guys are defeated this sickness shall end" June yells.

"PLANETARY WINDS"

Sloth looks towards June with an unfazed look.

"STOP," Sloth says "Go down."

June goes face-first into the ground as it makes cracks around it.

"JUNE" the other virtues yell.

"Mae can you get her outta there," Chonsee says. Mae stands in complete shock.

"Marx?"

"Ye-ah I can."

Sloth then looks at Marx and gives him a sinister smile.

"I can't. This guy is on a whole nother level " Marx was completely frozen in fear.

Vosh

Vosh

Vosh

Vosh

4 more appear but they aren't like the first one that is spoken. In fact, they remained all silent and calm as if there waiting for orders. The silhouettes are three males and one female.

VOSH

A figure emerges. "How slothful you are Sloth! You should get up and teach them a lesson. Hell, make them your slaves. You dont have to waste time on this small fry." A jacked-up man with tattoos all over his arms. With fiery spiked red hair thats in a bad mood.

"Oh no Wrath these are the Heavenly Virtues I just defeated one with ease but they will be no small fry in the future. That is why I must dispose of them now." Sloth says.

VOSH

"Silence," a soft but commanding voice says from the shadows. The last of the demons to appear. The demon takes a form of a man in an all-black fitted tuxedo. Their hair slicked back with a calming but scary demeanor to him.

"Sloth. Wrath. return in place with your fellow lords."

"YES, MY LORD." The two hurry in position.

The man proceeds to walk forward. "You four. I give thanks for reviving all of us." As he talks to the 4 members of the Order of the 7. "Yes my Lord," Luxk says. As they all kneel as if there bowing before a being with unimaginable power.

"You 4 may follow us as you will be useful in the near future. But these bodies will be getting used to and are in a weakened state. No matter these other mages will be no match." Pride says.

Pride walks up to Everett as he is closest to Luxk. Everett is sweating with abnormal breathing. "Could you be Courage by the looks of it your afraid, aren't you? Does Courage have a name?" as he stares Everett in the eye. "E-Everett" Everett responds stuttering.

"When the time comes Everett me and you will do battle, and so will your other Virtues with one of my Sins. Virtues will always face Sins no matter what time period. If you wish to save this world and the people you must beat us all. The reason why people in this land were getting sick is because of the seal getting weaker the demon realm merging with this one. It will get worse and worse if you don't stop this. In the meantime, we shall leave you with an example with Miss Justice here". "Get stronger Virtues we must evenly balance this imperfect world." Pride leaves.

One by one The Sins Leave dispersing into the night sky. The moon turns back to white. The weather clears up.

"Chow sees you guys next time Virtues," Xella says.

"Maybe we can have an even fight next time," Alexia says.

"Good night shows over." Dxn says.

"See you later Mr. Chosen One," Luxk says as the Order of the 7 left with Luxks magic. The dark veil was lifted. All that remains is a broken temple and a shaken-up class of mages.

"JUNE the other virtues go to her side"

"Is she ok?" Mae asks.

"She should be fine she has a pulse," Dillia says.

"Marx goes see if everyone is alright outside," Chonsee says.

"Got it"

Zoom!!

"I couldn't do nothing I couldn't do anything to help her" Alice mumbles to herself with a blank look on her face.

"Milady," Dillia says as she goes by her side.

"GUYS IS EVERYTHING ALRIGHT," Mr. Kaneda said.

Everett looks around the room seeing the chaos that just had transpired with a defeated look as he looks down at his blade and sigil. "I guess my Normal Days are over."
