Chapter 4 (final ) trial envy, verde and krystal vs glas part 1 and 2
As the smoke cleared Verde could be seen on his knees bleeding heavily from top to bottom breathing largely from exhaustion, on the other side Chi stood firmly with a couple of bruises and bleeding spots on her body. Chi then smiled placing her hands on her hips as she spoke " That was a good attack indeed i must admit I'm impressed you pushed me to use 50 percent of my power, if i hadn't done so that would have stung a little bit more than i wanted it to. "
Verde spoke faintly still trying to catch his breath and stand from the intense clash " S-so then i take it i passed correct? cause to be honest i don't think I'm ready for a round two. " he says with a light chuckle as Krystal rushed over to heal his deep wounds with her semblance.
Chi laughed as she began stretching and releasing the tension and stiffness in her muscles as she replied to his question with a bright smile and laugh " Trust me even if i wanted to i already know the outcome of that one, you would die and that's not fun for me at all. I want you to be at your best, to ripen and season so that you'll taste delicious when i break you in the end! "
Verde shudders at her words hiding behind cinder as he replied " You are starting to make me feel uncomfortable in ways that i didn't even know existed! " Sinclaire chuckles before adding to his comment " Well she is a barbaric animal that only knows violence so i would be worried too."
" I don't think i asked for your opinion slut! " Chi replied in anger towards her words." Sinclaire simply giggled swiping her hair back as she responded " That's Ms. Slut and besides someone has to keep a leash with how wild you are. " The two sins bickered back and forth for quite a while as Verde, Krystal, and Cinder watched in awkward silence.
Just then several beams of darkness descended on to the area spreading out in a circle around them one by one as 6 figures appeared on the scene, the purple light of Pride, the green light of envy, the orange light of greed, the light green light of sloth, the yellow light of gluttony, and the white light of lady Bianca.
Both Chi and Sinclaire get on they're knees and bow with the other 5 sins as lady Bianca steps out from the light with a smile as she bows then placing her hand on her hip introducing herself " I am lady Bianca leader of the seven deadly sins, it's nice to make your acquaintance. I see you have been having quite a lot of fun with my children quite an impressive display if I do say so myself."
" So I assume you are done testing me then? Or are you not done making me go through bullshit to live up to your expectations? " Verde stated with an amount of hatred in his voice. Bianca appeared right in front of him without warning placing a hand on his head and rubbing it with a smile, she spoke in a rather sot tone that was also menacing in a way " We don’t like weak opponents so we had to roughen you up a bit that’s all." Verde shocked at her sudden appearance he leaped back to gain some distance but then turned to see that she was already behind him as he responded " H-how did you get behind me so fast!? "
" By using sloth's ability, for a limited time you will be moving slower than me creating the illusion that I am moving too fast for you to see. But how am I using sloth's ability you ask? As leader of the sins all of their abilities are at my disposal no matter where they are or if they are already using it." Bianca stated slowly walking back over to her sins as they stand and gather around together, she then speaks again to tell him one last thing " Oh and to truly answer the question you had I do have one more ordeal for you to go through before I give you the right to challenge us but I will not announce what it is. It will happen when you least expect it so be prepared I do hope you put on a good show for us." The group became cloaked in their beams of light rising into the sky and disappearing one by one as Chi smiled staring into Verde's eyes and Sinclaire winking and blowing a kiss at him before they too disappeared as well.
A day after the confrontation Chi and Sinclaire were chatting in the main hall of the castle when Glas walked into the room with urgent news to report as she spoke " Glad to see the main girls are here you two will be the perfect people that I break the news to." she snickered a bit specifically staring at Chi with a giant grin on her face, Chi raised an eyebrow as she responded to being looked at " I don’t know why you are giving me that goofy annoying look but I suggest you tell us what this big urgent news is! " she stated with base in her voice as Glas slowly walked over towards her leaning up and whispering in her ear of the news, Chi's eyes widened suddenly as she growled in absolute anger.
" You're going to what! " The sin of Wrath Chi shouted in anger at Glas statement as the Sin of Envy repeated herself once more " You heard me, I'm going to head over there to him to provide final test of sorts to see if he really has what it takes to tackle us sins surely you don't mind sharing your sparring partner do you? " she said with a smirk and quiet giggle.
Chi growled with irritation as she slammed her hand down on the table and retorted " He is MY prey! Who gave you the right to even lay a hand on hi- " Glas interrupted her sentence to reply to her last words quickly " I have already gotten permission from Lady Bianca to perform this deed, you'd dare go against the lady's orders? "
" I swear if you do anything to take my prey away from me I'll make you regret it until the day you die! " Chi states as her aura grows ready fight. Glas smirks raising her aura as well as she responds " If that's a threat i will be happy to indulge you in your request! "
Sinclaire quickly appears between them creating a blast of energy that pushes them aside as she crosses her arms flipping her hair back finally speaking up " As entertaining as this is why don't you two just kiss already? lesbian joke aside we should not be fighting among each other. Glas you were given your mission so i suggest you stop fooling around and get going before i MAKE you leave." Glas sighs but smiles and nods disappearing from the area.
" Why did you let her go aren't you worried she'll break your little crush in half? " Chi stated to Sinclaire. Sinclaire then responded to her question with a confident smile and mouth lick " For one thing the mistress orders are absolute and must be followed so they always come first before personal desires, secondly i have faith that our little ghost boy will survive this last test."
Chi starred at her for a moment before asking her a question " And just what is it that makes you so sure of his victory? " Sinclaire sat down in a chair crossing her legs together and placing her hands on her knees as she responded " While I was unlocking the second stage of his drive i noticed traces of a deadly snake hidden deep within his aura, that very symbol holds the key to unleashing his true power that will finally provide us with the challenge we seek and i believe that he will unlock it in this test. "
Chi pondered at first but then began to smile the more she thought about the situation and spoke " So in other words. This battle needs to happen in order for him to grow, and the more experience he gets the stronger he will become until our fated battle! "
" I just cant wait to embrace him in my arms and show him such great pleasure…with a hint of pain of course I wont give myself up to him that easily." Sinclaire said with such glee on her face and slowly licking her lips of the anticipation as she then spoke once again " I might even be generous and share him with you my sweet Chi."
" Heh you know me and romance don’t mix especially with my violent nature, a person would be half dead before they could even get a piece of me. Maybe when he actually gets strong enough to take me head on at full power I'll consider it…but I'm only interested in fighting him nothing more so don’t get your hopes up princess." she stated with a smile and snicker as she cracked her knuckles together.
At the shadow of a corner the sin of Greed stood silently listening to the conversations that had been taking place with the other three sins, she smiled sinerstly as she spoke in a deep tone " Look at all the little birdies flocking together making plans to claim their prizes…but in the end it will be me who claims EVERYTHING! What's yours is mine ladies I suggest you watch your backs." she crosses her arms with a smile on her face walking away into the shadows, Sinclaire looks over in her direction and gets the feeling that they were being watched and glares giving off a menacing aura around her body.
VAST Chronicles Chapter 4 part 2
After discussing a few more plans with Chi Sinclaire returned to her chamber walking further down the steps and stopping at a lone door with a powerful lust barrier. She unlocked the barrier and entered the room after then placing the seal back on and closing the door behind her as she proceeded forward, she then came across a figure wearing the same cloaks as her and the other sins wear.
The figure was sitting down on a rock at the pool of lust energy as an artificial sun beamed down on it, the figure was meditating when it looked up seeing Sinclaire as it spoke in a soft tone " So...you have been to see him once again have you not? " Sinclaire crossed her arms and closed her eyes as she responded to the figure's question " Are you sure you are ok with this? he's up against Glas it wont be an easy battle."
The figure only smirked slowly standing up and pulling off the top of the cloak to reveal a woman with long blonde hair, a yellow left eye, and a red right eye with a katana on her back as she responded to Sinclaire's question " He'll make it after all, the ancient goddess Allura resides inside him and you have given a portion of sin energy so why are you suddenly so worried about the condition of my son's well being? "
Sinlcaire sighed before opening her eyes crossing her arms as she responded " Glas has a tendency to push a bit too far showing off her power, she might end up pushing him to become strong like her which could mess with his mind and cause him to do something really stupid that could kill him." Dawn stretched a bit after yawning as she gives her a positively bright smile while speaking once again " While I do understand you're concern my son will not fall so easily…ever since he was a little boy he has always been curious about life around him and has always cherished and respected that life, in his heart he has always wanted to protect those things that he cherishes and that has since been his motivation to be a strong huntsman who can protect the things he holds dear."
Sinclaire's heart pounded twice as she turns around blushing red hearing about Verde, Dawn laughed as she placed an arm on Sinclaire's shoulder and gave a sly grin as she whispered in her ear " You want to do naughty things to him don’t you? " Sinlcaire blushed once again angered by her teasing she retaliates by generating lightning through her staff and sending volts of electricity to the ground. Dawn quickly dashes backwards and preforms a backflip dodging the electricity just in time however, soon after a large fire ball headed in her direction. She then unsheathes her sword in a quick draw technique as she slashes the fireball in half with a vertical cute however, Sinclaire closed in as she thrust her staff forward as the area in front of her became covered in large layers of ice.
As the mist created by the ice disappears Dawn appears behind Sinclaire with her sword positioned close to her neck while Sinclaire's tail is positioned right next to Dawn's neck, Sinclaire smiled and began to speak "No mater how many times I see it it's beauty and power always gets me falling in love with it. Your semblance, Rising Sun which boost all your abilities under the sun rays. However, it is also a double edged sword that causes you to spend more aura than normal which is why you use it in small burst."
Dawn simply sighed and put her sword away as the two shook hands and smiled as Dawn gave a response " A simple I don’t want to admit that I'm in love with your son would have been fine but noooo you had to go all psycho killer bitch on me! I mean it's written all over your face that you fell for him so why not just let you're feelings come to the surface?
Sinclaire turned away crossing her arms with a saddened look on her face as she replied to her " Lady Bianca's orders come first my personal feelings and goals come second, what Lady Bianca wants is all that matters. "
Dawn sighs and walks up to her placing a hand on her shoulder as she speaks " That may be what your master wants Sinclaire but what I want to know is…is that what YOU really want? " Sinclaire stood in complete silence unable to give her a direct answer as she was not sure of it herself just yet.
" What ever the case the show is about to start soon so I suggest you be on your way you don’t want to miss you're darling's big moment now do you? " Dawn stated as she leapt back on the rock she was sitting on before and went back to meditating, Sinclaire sighed softly but smiled as she surely did not want to miss this battle so she quickly left the room closing and locking the door behind her.
A few days had passed going into the night of the last day before the final test with both Verde and Krystal sleeping in separate rooms, both were struggling to sleep as voices called out to them naming themselves Allura and Valda. Allura responded first " So this kid is my master huh? Well you've got the looks down." Valda then responded to Krystal " I sense great kindness and potential in you, I think we will get along well." after the two had spoken Verde and Krystal both asked the same question to the two " Who are you people and what is this place!? " The two goddesses laughed a bit before answering their question both speaking at the same time " We are the Zodiac Goddess Allura and Valda the snake and the rabbit, you have been chosen to wield our divine power to use it to your ends. Light and Dark are no concept to us we simply follow the wishes of our masters without question."
" Question! What if your master tells you to ignore that rule? " Verde responded to them. Allura pauses for a moment before bursting into a great laughter and nearly falling over, she then whipped her laugh filled tears away and responded to his question " You…I like you! You're definitely a match to my personality, I'm Allura your snake Zodiac Goddess I'll do whatever it is you ask even bending our own rules since I love a little chaos once in a while. " Valda shook her head and giggled a bit before turning to krystal and speaking to her " I am Valda your rabbit Zodiac Goddess, tell me is your friend always this charming? "
" W-well he can be reckless and a bit over aggressive at times but deep down he has a kind heart and a great need to help those who need it most and I really love that about him." Krystal stated turning red after revealing her feelings for him to her, Valda smiled and softly rubbed Krystal's head as she responds to her answer " You have a good strong heart, in more ways than one hehe. Continue to love him as much as you do for that love and passion will make you stronger, now it's about time we get down to the real business at hand Allura."
Allura smiled and leapt back with valda as she began explaining the situation to Verde and Krystal " Listen up well newbies the current opponent you are up against is on a whole other level! " Valda added to her sentence " And because this is so we zodiac gods are going to be aiding you in this battle however, understand when I tell you this…this is the only time we are helping you directly." Verde's face became puzzled and confused at that last part as he interrupted they're speech " Why specifically only one time? Is their a reason why you must abide by that rule?
Allura quickly answered Verde's question " Traditionally our masters are supposed to undergo a special trial for each symbol and rightfully earn our approval to use the divine powers however, in this case you two have not earned that right yet we are letting you use them regardless of this rule." Valda once again added to Allura's explanation " All of that unregistered divine energy flowing through the human body is like a double edged sword, your body is used as a sacrificial pawn in exchange for all that divine energy which will most likely destroy your body after use."
" Hmm… so in other words we'll have to defeat Glas before our bodies reach their limit on the circulation of the divine energy huh? That’s not going to be easy…I've already fought against two sins and one was still standing even after my strongest attack hit her at full force. " Verde responded, Krystal then held his hand and smiled as she said to him " Don’t worry remember this is a test we don’t HAVE to win at all, we just need to show this woman that you have what it takes to fight against them! "
Allura coughed slightly and decided to cut their conversation short " I hate to break up this happy touchy moment but you two need to prepare for combat, seems your opponent grew a little impatient and changed the battle date to right now this night at Silver moon falls we shall teleport you there good luck! "
The two goddesses use their divine power to transport the two to Silver Moon Falls as they disappeared leaving them the chant they needed to activate the power. Verde slowly walked forward and looked at the waterfall as it reflected the shining moon in the sky through the water, he simply smiled but then giggled as he spoke " This is where we first met, although back then you were wet and naked hehe." Krystal turned red covering her eyes and turning away as she panicked and responded to his comment " Verde please! Why'd you have to make me remember that moment! " Just as they were re collecting memories an ominous aura filled the air as a woman's voice could be heard in the distance " So you didn’t chicken out after all? That’s great cause I would have went out to drag you here myself! Ah, and I see you brought a friend two heads are better than one ya know."
" You just couldn’t take the wait anymore could you? We haven't even gotten our beauty sleep yet! " Verde responded with a snarky remark. Glas smirked as she took off her robe as the level of her aura increased greatly and spoke with such confidence in her voice " Come now don’t be upset…because I'm going to put you right back to sleep! " Verde and Krystal stood their ground and both nodded at each other to use the chant now, the two spoke these words as stated " Ancient Gods of the Zodiac hear my will, awaken the beast that sleeps within me so that I may bring ruin to this world Zodiac Drive! " The zodiac signs of the snake and rabbit appeared on their hands as a projection of Allura and Valda could be seen from behind them as Verde and Krystal's hair and eyes changed colors while being wrapped in divine aura.
Verde's hair turned neon light green while his right eye became a darker toned green and his left eye became white, Krystal's hair turned to a glowing white color while both her eyes turned blood and the moon's color turned red. The two starred down Glas for a few seconds before Verde swiftly dashed forward in a flash swinging his swords downward at Glas creating a blast of wind that broke the ground beneath her, Glas nearly escaped leaping into the air but was then bombarded with ice shard projectiles coming from Krystal's direction. Glas shrouded her hands in demonic aura slashing through the shards with her bare hands, Verde then Jumped off of a tree and preformed an X shaped attack of wind and fire that hit her in the back causing her to drop her guard and knocked on the ground by Krystal's attack.
Glas stood up dusting herself off and observing the two as she made an analysis based off their movements " I see…being a close range fighter Verde makes the first move and comes in close as you would expect one to, then Krystal being more of a support type who stays at bay providing long range support as a minor distraction while the heavy hitter boy serves as the main course of the assault. However, they can also switch it up and Verde would be the distraction while Krystal is doing the main attack…these two obviously have great chemistry together so much that Sinclaire would get jealous hehe. Looks like I'll have to get serious for a bit two can play at that game literally!"
Glas created a tentacle of aura from her back as it shot out next to her and transformed into a clone of herself, Verde and Krystal's eyes widen in shock at the sudden development. Glas snickered and began speaking " Say hello to my sin ability Octagon of Death! With it I can use my tentacle strands and transform each of them into aura projected clones of myself each with the same level of power and skill as the original 8 in total, now lets see how well you work together when you each have someone to worry about! " The original Glas dashed forward and tackled Verde into the waterfall while Krystal nervously dodged attacks from the clone keeping on defense.
" Heh you're strategy has been broken up now how will you approach me now boy? " Verde smirked and responded to her question " I wouldn’t underestimate our skills if I were you." Glas was confused by his statement as Krystal suddenly appeared behind her and kicked her several feet away off Verde as she helped him up. " B-but how! She had her hands full with my clone and she's supposed to be the support fighter." Glas stated then looked in the direction she was in before and saw that the clone was frozen solid and couldn’t move as she spoke again " So she's no ordinary bunny…I'm being to lenient on this matter it's time to give them a full taste of hell." Glas pulled back the first tentacle and re created it with 6 other tentacles as there were now 7 clones of her surrounding Krystal and Verde.
All 7 clones charge orbs of green energy in their hands and rapidly shoot them out towards them, Verde darts around with speed slicing the energy orbs in half with his swords while Krystal makes spread shots of ice shards hitting the orbs. While they were distracted Glas shot a blast of energy in their direction that when it hit the ground it caused an explosion that damaged and knocked both of them to the ground, the seven clones then hold Verde down as they charge orbs of energy in their hands ready to shoot them out at him from close range.
Krystal's anger grows stronger as she quickly stood up and waved her staff with great power flowing as a wave of ice splashed over the clones and she swiftly kicked every one of them off of Verde and shattering them into pieces. Krystal took heavy breaths as she had reached her limit on the divine aura circulation and had collapsed on the ground from the pain after reverting, Verde stood up starting to breathe heavily as he was starting to reach his limit as well looking sadly at Krystal.
" I'll admit this little game has been very entertaining I haven't had a fun battle like this in ages…sadly all good things have to come to an end, looks like you couldn’t make it all the way like you thought you would it's time to say goodbye! " Glas created 8 tentacle strands from the back of her body as they all point towards her hands forming a massive orb of envy energy while she snickers.
Verde continued to stare down at Krystal as he walked a bit closer with his left arm limping to the ground, he slowly placed his hand on her head transferring some of his divine energy into her and spoke softly " H-hey no sleeping on the job…I got energy for one attack left in me but I cant do it without you, alone it's strong but together it can be stronger." Hearing Verde's words faintly Krystal's divine energy had risen back up, she then slowly stood up smiling as she responded to his words " Where ever you go or when ever you need me I'll always be there for you…you big idiot." The two gave bright smiles at each other as they stood together and turned to face Glas.
Glas had finished charging up her attack as she retracted the tentacles and smirked as she released the orb of energy towards them shouting " Disappear! " Verde locked his left hand with Krystal's left hand as they held their weapons out with the other hands, both of their aura shrouds radiated brightly as wind and ice dust energy formed and fused together the two shouted out the birth of a new attack together " Wind Ice combination: Ghost Blizzard! " a blast of ice cold energy shot out from their weapons wrapped around in a snake shaped stream as the two attacks braced for impact.
The two attacks collided as it whipped up great wind speeds and chills through out the air the intensity of the two energies one of angelic and one of demonic shook the ground and caused violent waves to ripple in the water. Gla's attack grew closer and closer pushing back the hero's attack little by little as she smirked insuring that her victory was close the massive energy continuing to push Verde and Krystal back. The two hunters stood strong against her assault but were slowly reaching their limits just trying to keep the attack going, an image of Allura and Valda was being projected behind them as they placed their hands on the two's backs giving them an extra boost of divine energy.
With the extra energy that was given to them Verde and Krystal poured every last bit of energy they had into the attack collapsing after the released boosted energy quickly shot back up pushing Gla's attack upward with it as it was spiraling directly at her in a matter of seconds as their attack pierced through hers. Glas glanced on in shock as she prepared to block the blast with her bare hands however, Subarashi the sin of gluttony appeared in front of Glas as he opened his mouth wide and absorbed the full blast burping after finishing his meal.
" Subarashi! I don’t believe I asked for your help this is my mission scram! " Glas proclaimed to subarashi however, he merely rubbed his mouth and sighed as he turned to her with dissatisfaction on his face as he responded " This WAS your mission until you screwed up and let your guard down these two almost ended up passing the test, now I'm here cleaning up your mess you should be happy you're sweet brother decided to help you out when you needed it most. " Glas grunted turning away she mumbled these simple words " Just get it over with and we never speak of this again are we clear? "
Subarashi grinned and turned to the direction of the two unconscious Huntsman on the ground " Naturally…their energy tasted quite delicious too bad I'll have to kill them with it even stronger than before! " He shouted as he opened his mouth and released the same blast of energy he ate with boosted destructive power, as the blast grew closer and it seemed that this was the end for the two huntsman a woman wearing a white coat with red, orange, and yellow flames designed on to it drew her sword and swung it with swift precision and power of sun light flames as it cut directly through Subarashi's attack down the middle with him and Glas quickly evading the aftershock.
" I don’t know who you are woman but interfering in our business is a death sentence, just who the hell do you think you are? " Subarashi stated angrily not amused by the sudden intrusion. The woman smiled then softly chuckled as she placed her sword behind her back with one hand and the other on her hip as she responded to his statement " Lets just say I have certain connection with the handsome lad and his sexy bunny over here and that I'm about ready to drop a can of whoop ass on you for ganging up on them when they cant even fight back asshole! " She proclaimed to the sin of gluttony with a burning fire in her right dust implanted eye.
To be continued in Epilogue: Resurrection of the Sun
Verde spoke faintly still trying to catch his breath and stand from the intense clash " S-so then i take it i passed correct? cause to be honest i don't think I'm ready for a round two. " he says with a light chuckle as Krystal rushed over to heal his deep wounds with her semblance.
Chi laughed as she began stretching and releasing the tension and stiffness in her muscles as she replied to his question with a bright smile and laugh " Trust me even if i wanted to i already know the outcome of that one, you would die and that's not fun for me at all. I want you to be at your best, to ripen and season so that you'll taste delicious when i break you in the end! "
Verde shudders at her words hiding behind cinder as he replied " You are starting to make me feel uncomfortable in ways that i didn't even know existed! " Sinclaire chuckles before adding to his comment " Well she is a barbaric animal that only knows violence so i would be worried too."
" I don't think i asked for your opinion slut! " Chi replied in anger towards her words." Sinclaire simply giggled swiping her hair back as she responded " That's Ms. Slut and besides someone has to keep a leash with how wild you are. " The two sins bickered back and forth for quite a while as Verde, Krystal, and Cinder watched in awkward silence.
Just then several beams of darkness descended on to the area spreading out in a circle around them one by one as 6 figures appeared on the scene, the purple light of Pride, the green light of envy, the orange light of greed, the light green light of sloth, the yellow light of gluttony, and the white light of lady Bianca.
Both Chi and Sinclaire get on they're knees and bow with the other 5 sins as lady Bianca steps out from the light with a smile as she bows then placing her hand on her hip introducing herself " I am lady Bianca leader of the seven deadly sins, it's nice to make your acquaintance. I see you have been having quite a lot of fun with my children quite an impressive display if I do say so myself."
" So I assume you are done testing me then? Or are you not done making me go through bullshit to live up to your expectations? " Verde stated with an amount of hatred in his voice. Bianca appeared right in front of him without warning placing a hand on his head and rubbing it with a smile, she spoke in a rather sot tone that was also menacing in a way " We don’t like weak opponents so we had to roughen you up a bit that’s all." Verde shocked at her sudden appearance he leaped back to gain some distance but then turned to see that she was already behind him as he responded " H-how did you get behind me so fast!? "
" By using sloth's ability, for a limited time you will be moving slower than me creating the illusion that I am moving too fast for you to see. But how am I using sloth's ability you ask? As leader of the sins all of their abilities are at my disposal no matter where they are or if they are already using it." Bianca stated slowly walking back over to her sins as they stand and gather around together, she then speaks again to tell him one last thing " Oh and to truly answer the question you had I do have one more ordeal for you to go through before I give you the right to challenge us but I will not announce what it is. It will happen when you least expect it so be prepared I do hope you put on a good show for us." The group became cloaked in their beams of light rising into the sky and disappearing one by one as Chi smiled staring into Verde's eyes and Sinclaire winking and blowing a kiss at him before they too disappeared as well.
A day after the confrontation Chi and Sinclaire were chatting in the main hall of the castle when Glas walked into the room with urgent news to report as she spoke " Glad to see the main girls are here you two will be the perfect people that I break the news to." she snickered a bit specifically staring at Chi with a giant grin on her face, Chi raised an eyebrow as she responded to being looked at " I don’t know why you are giving me that goofy annoying look but I suggest you tell us what this big urgent news is! " she stated with base in her voice as Glas slowly walked over towards her leaning up and whispering in her ear of the news, Chi's eyes widened suddenly as she growled in absolute anger.
" You're going to what! " The sin of Wrath Chi shouted in anger at Glas statement as the Sin of Envy repeated herself once more " You heard me, I'm going to head over there to him to provide final test of sorts to see if he really has what it takes to tackle us sins surely you don't mind sharing your sparring partner do you? " she said with a smirk and quiet giggle.

Sinclaire quickly appears between them creating a blast of energy that pushes them aside as she crosses her arms flipping her hair back finally speaking up " As entertaining as this is why don't you two just kiss already? lesbian joke aside we should not be fighting among each other. Glas you were given your mission so i suggest you stop fooling around and get going before i MAKE you leave." Glas sighs but smiles and nods disappearing from the area.
" Why did you let her go aren't you worried she'll break your little crush in half? " Chi stated to Sinclaire. Sinclaire then responded to her question with a confident smile and mouth lick " For one thing the mistress orders are absolute and must be followed so they always come first before personal desires, secondly i have faith that our little ghost boy will survive this last test."
Chi starred at her for a moment before asking her a question " And just what is it that makes you so sure of his victory?

After discussing a few more plans with Chi Sinclaire returned to her chamber walking further down the steps and stopping at a lone door with a powerful lust barrier. She unlocked the barrier and entered the room after then placing the seal back on and closing the door behind her as she proceeded forward, she then came across a figure wearing the same cloaks as her and the other sins wear.
The figure was sitting down on a rock at the pool of lust energy as an artificial sun beamed down on it, the figure was meditating when it looked up seeing Sinclaire as it spoke in a soft tone " So...you have been to see him once again have you not? " Sinclaire crossed her arms and closed her eyes as she responded to the figure's question " Are you sure you are ok with this? he's up against Glas it wont be an easy battle."
The figure only smirked slowly standing up and pulling off the top of the cloak to reveal a woman with long blonde hair, a yellow left eye, and a red right eye with a katana on her back as she responded to Sinclaire's question " He'll make it after all, the ancient goddess Allura resides inside him and you have given a portion of sin energy so why are you suddenly so worried about the condition of my son's well being? "
Sinlcaire sighed before opening her eyes crossing her arms as she responded " Glas has a tendency to push a bit too far showing off her power, she might end up pushing him to become strong like her which could mess with his mind and cause him to do something really stupid that could kill him." Dawn stretched a bit after yawning as she gives her a positively bright smile while speaking once again " While I do understand you're concern my son will not fall so easily…ever since he was a little boy he has always been curious about life around him and has always cherished and respected that life, in his heart he has always wanted to protect those things that he cherishes and that has since been his motivation to be a strong huntsman who can protect the things he holds dear."
Sinclaire's heart pounded twice as she turns around blushing red hearing about Verde, Dawn laughed as she placed an arm on Sinclaire's shoulder and gave a sly grin as she whispered in her ear " You want to do naughty things to him don’t you? " Sinlcaire blushed once again angered by her teasing she retaliates by generating lightning through her staff and sending volts of electricity to the ground. Dawn quickly dashes backwards and preforms a backflip dodging the electricity just in time however, soon after a large fire ball headed in her direction. She then unsheathes her sword in a quick draw technique as she slashes the fireball in half with a vertical cute however, Sinclaire closed in as she thrust her staff forward as the area in front of her became covered in large layers of ice.
As the mist created by the ice disappears Dawn appears behind Sinclaire with her sword positioned close to her neck while Sinclaire's tail is positioned right next to Dawn's neck, Sinclaire smiled and began to speak "No mater how many times I see it it's beauty and power always gets me falling in love with it. Your semblance, Rising Sun which boost all your abilities under the sun rays. However, it is also a double edged sword that causes you to spend more aura than normal which is why you use it in small burst."
Dawn simply sighed and put her sword away as the two shook hands and smiled as Dawn gave a response " A simple I don’t want to admit that I'm in love with your son would have been fine but noooo you had to go all psycho killer bitch on me! I mean it's written all over your face that you fell for him so why not just let you're feelings come to the surface?
Sinclaire turned away crossing her arms with a saddened look on her face as she replied to her " Lady Bianca's orders come first my personal feelings and goals come second, what Lady Bianca wants is all that matters. "
Dawn sighs and walks up to her placing a hand on her shoulder as she speaks " That may be what your master wants Sinclaire but what I want to know is…is that what YOU really want? " Sinclaire stood in complete silence unable to give her a direct answer as she was not sure of it herself just yet.
" What ever the case the show is about to start soon so I suggest you be on your way you don’t want to miss you're darling's big moment now do you? " Dawn stated as she leapt back on the rock she was sitting on before and went back to meditating, Sinclaire sighed softly but smiled as she surely did not want to miss this battle so she quickly left the room closing and locking the door behind her.
A few days had passed going into the night of the last day before the final test with both Verde and Krystal sleeping in separate rooms, both were struggling to sleep as voices called out to them naming themselves Allura and Valda. Allura responded first " So this kid is my master huh? Well you've got the looks down." Valda then responded to Krystal " I sense great kindness and potential in you, I think we will get along well." after the two had spoken Verde and Krystal both asked the same question to the two " Who are you people and what is this place!? " The two goddesses laughed a bit before answering their question both speaking at the same time " We are the Zodiac Goddess Allura and Valda the snake and the rabbit, you have been chosen to wield our divine power to use it to your ends. Light and Dark are no concept to us we simply follow the wishes of our masters without question."
" Question! What if your master tells you to ignore that rule? " Verde responded to them. Allura pauses for a moment before bursting into a great laughter and nearly falling over, she then whipped her laugh filled tears away and responded to his question " You…I like you! You're definitely a match to my personality, I'm Allura your snake Zodiac Goddess I'll do whatever it is you ask even bending our own rules since I love a little chaos once in a while. " Valda shook her head and giggled a bit before turning to krystal and speaking to her " I am Valda your rabbit Zodiac Goddess, tell me is your friend always this charming? "
" W-well he can be reckless and a bit over aggressive at times but deep down he has a kind heart and a great need to help those who need it most and I really love that about him." Krystal stated turning red after revealing her feelings for him to her, Valda smiled and softly rubbed Krystal's head as she responds to her answer " You have a good strong heart, in more ways than one hehe. Continue to love him as much as you do for that love and passion will make you stronger, now it's about time we get down to the real business at hand Allura."
Allura smiled and leapt back with valda as she began explaining the situation to Verde and Krystal " Listen up well newbies the current opponent you are up against is on a whole other level! " Valda added to her sentence " And because this is so we zodiac gods are going to be aiding you in this battle however, understand when I tell you this…this is the only time we are helping you directly." Verde's face became puzzled and confused at that last part as he interrupted they're speech " Why specifically only one time? Is their a reason why you must abide by that rule?
Allura quickly answered Verde's question " Traditionally our masters are supposed to undergo a special trial for each symbol and rightfully earn our approval to use the divine powers however, in this case you two have not earned that right yet we are letting you use them regardless of this rule." Valda once again added to Allura's explanation " All of that unregistered divine energy flowing through the human body is like a double edged sword, your body is used as a sacrificial pawn in exchange for all that divine energy which will most likely destroy your body after use."
" Hmm… so in other words we'll have to defeat Glas before our bodies reach their limit on the circulation of the divine energy huh? That’s not going to be easy…I've already fought against two sins and one was still standing even after my strongest attack hit her at full force. " Verde responded, Krystal then held his hand and smiled as she said to him " Don’t worry remember this is a test we don’t HAVE to win at all, we just need to show this woman that you have what it takes to fight against them! "
Allura coughed slightly and decided to cut their conversation short " I hate to break up this happy touchy moment but you two need to prepare for combat, seems your opponent grew a little impatient and changed the battle date to right now this night at Silver moon falls we shall teleport you there good luck! "
The two goddesses use their divine power to transport the two to Silver Moon Falls as they disappeared leaving them the chant they needed to activate the power. Verde slowly walked forward and looked at the waterfall as it reflected the shining moon in the sky through the water, he simply smiled but then giggled as he spoke " This is where we first met, although back then you were wet and naked hehe." Krystal turned red covering her eyes and turning away as she panicked and responded to his comment " Verde please! Why'd you have to make me remember that moment! " Just as they were re collecting memories an ominous aura filled the air as a woman's voice could be heard in the distance " So you didn’t chicken out after all? That’s great cause I would have went out to drag you here myself! Ah, and I see you brought a friend two heads are better than one ya know."
" You just couldn’t take the wait anymore could you? We haven't even gotten our beauty sleep yet! " Verde responded with a snarky remark. Glas smirked as she took off her robe as the level of her aura increased greatly and spoke with such confidence in her voice " Come now don’t be upset…because I'm going to put you right back to sleep! " Verde and Krystal stood their ground and both nodded at each other to use the chant now, the two spoke these words as stated " Ancient Gods of the Zodiac hear my will, awaken the beast that sleeps within me so that I may bring ruin to this world Zodiac Drive! " The zodiac signs of the snake and rabbit appeared on their hands as a projection of Allura and Valda could be seen from behind them as Verde and Krystal's hair and eyes changed colors while being wrapped in divine aura.
Verde's hair turned neon light green while his right eye became a darker toned green and his left eye became white, Krystal's hair turned to a glowing white color while both her eyes turned blood and the moon's color turned red. The two starred down Glas for a few seconds before Verde swiftly dashed forward in a flash swinging his swords downward at Glas creating a blast of wind that broke the ground beneath her, Glas nearly escaped leaping into the air but was then bombarded with ice shard projectiles coming from Krystal's direction. Glas shrouded her hands in demonic aura slashing through the shards with her bare hands, Verde then Jumped off of a tree and preformed an X shaped attack of wind and fire that hit her in the back causing her to drop her guard and knocked on the ground by Krystal's attack.
Glas stood up dusting herself off and observing the two as she made an analysis based off their movements " I see…being a close range fighter Verde makes the first move and comes in close as you would expect one to, then Krystal being more of a support type who stays at bay providing long range support as a minor distraction while the heavy hitter boy serves as the main course of the assault. However, they can also switch it up and Verde would be the distraction while Krystal is doing the main attack…these two obviously have great chemistry together so much that Sinclaire would get jealous hehe. Looks like I'll have to get serious for a bit two can play at that game literally!"
Glas created a tentacle of aura from her back as it shot out next to her and transformed into a clone of herself, Verde and Krystal's eyes widen in shock at the sudden development. Glas snickered and began speaking " Say hello to my sin ability Octagon of Death! With it I can use my tentacle strands and transform each of them into aura projected clones of myself each with the same level of power and skill as the original 8 in total, now lets see how well you work together when you each have someone to worry about! " The original Glas dashed forward and tackled Verde into the waterfall while Krystal nervously dodged attacks from the clone keeping on defense.
" Heh you're strategy has been broken up now how will you approach me now boy? " Verde smirked and responded to her question " I wouldn’t underestimate our skills if I were you." Glas was confused by his statement as Krystal suddenly appeared behind her and kicked her several feet away off Verde as she helped him up. " B-but how! She had her hands full with my clone and she's supposed to be the support fighter." Glas stated then looked in the direction she was in before and saw that the clone was frozen solid and couldn’t move as she spoke again " So she's no ordinary bunny…I'm being to lenient on this matter it's time to give them a full taste of hell." Glas pulled back the first tentacle and re created it with 6 other tentacles as there were now 7 clones of her surrounding Krystal and Verde.
All 7 clones charge orbs of green energy in their hands and rapidly shoot them out towards them, Verde darts around with speed slicing the energy orbs in half with his swords while Krystal makes spread shots of ice shards hitting the orbs. While they were distracted Glas shot a blast of energy in their direction that when it hit the ground it caused an explosion that damaged and knocked both of them to the ground, the seven clones then hold Verde down as they charge orbs of energy in their hands ready to shoot them out at him from close range.
Krystal's anger grows stronger as she quickly stood up and waved her staff with great power flowing as a wave of ice splashed over the clones and she swiftly kicked every one of them off of Verde and shattering them into pieces. Krystal took heavy breaths as she had reached her limit on the divine aura circulation and had collapsed on the ground from the pain after reverting, Verde stood up starting to breathe heavily as he was starting to reach his limit as well looking sadly at Krystal.
" I'll admit this little game has been very entertaining I haven't had a fun battle like this in ages…sadly all good things have to come to an end, looks like you couldn’t make it all the way like you thought you would it's time to say goodbye! " Glas created 8 tentacle strands from the back of her body as they all point towards her hands forming a massive orb of envy energy while she snickers.
Verde continued to stare down at Krystal as he walked a bit closer with his left arm limping to the ground, he slowly placed his hand on her head transferring some of his divine energy into her and spoke softly " H-hey no sleeping on the job…I got energy for one attack left in me but I cant do it without you, alone it's strong but together it can be stronger." Hearing Verde's words faintly Krystal's divine energy had risen back up, she then slowly stood up smiling as she responded to his words " Where ever you go or when ever you need me I'll always be there for you…you big idiot." The two gave bright smiles at each other as they stood together and turned to face Glas.
Glas had finished charging up her attack as she retracted the tentacles and smirked as she released the orb of energy towards them shouting " Disappear! " Verde locked his left hand with Krystal's left hand as they held their weapons out with the other hands, both of their aura shrouds radiated brightly as wind and ice dust energy formed and fused together the two shouted out the birth of a new attack together " Wind Ice combination: Ghost Blizzard! " a blast of ice cold energy shot out from their weapons wrapped around in a snake shaped stream as the two attacks braced for impact.
The two attacks collided as it whipped up great wind speeds and chills through out the air the intensity of the two energies one of angelic and one of demonic shook the ground and caused violent waves to ripple in the water. Gla's attack grew closer and closer pushing back the hero's attack little by little as she smirked insuring that her victory was close the massive energy continuing to push Verde and Krystal back. The two hunters stood strong against her assault but were slowly reaching their limits just trying to keep the attack going, an image of Allura and Valda was being projected behind them as they placed their hands on the two's backs giving them an extra boost of divine energy.
With the extra energy that was given to them Verde and Krystal poured every last bit of energy they had into the attack collapsing after the released boosted energy quickly shot back up pushing Gla's attack upward with it as it was spiraling directly at her in a matter of seconds as their attack pierced through hers. Glas glanced on in shock as she prepared to block the blast with her bare hands however, Subarashi the sin of gluttony appeared in front of Glas as he opened his mouth wide and absorbed the full blast burping after finishing his meal.
" Subarashi! I don’t believe I asked for your help this is my mission scram! " Glas proclaimed to subarashi however, he merely rubbed his mouth and sighed as he turned to her with dissatisfaction on his face as he responded " This WAS your mission until you screwed up and let your guard down these two almost ended up passing the test, now I'm here cleaning up your mess you should be happy you're sweet brother decided to help you out when you needed it most. " Glas grunted turning away she mumbled these simple words " Just get it over with and we never speak of this again are we clear? "
Subarashi grinned and turned to the direction of the two unconscious Huntsman on the ground " Naturally…their energy tasted quite delicious too bad I'll have to kill them with it even stronger than before! " He shouted as he opened his mouth and released the same blast of energy he ate with boosted destructive power, as the blast grew closer and it seemed that this was the end for the two huntsman a woman wearing a white coat with red, orange, and yellow flames designed on to it drew her sword and swung it with swift precision and power of sun light flames as it cut directly through Subarashi's attack down the middle with him and Glas quickly evading the aftershock.
" I don’t know who you are woman but interfering in our business is a death sentence, just who the hell do you think you are? " Subarashi stated angrily not amused by the sudden intrusion. The woman smiled then softly chuckled as she placed her sword behind her back with one hand and the other on her hip as she responded to his statement " Lets just say I have certain connection with the handsome lad and his sexy bunny over here and that I'm about ready to drop a can of whoop ass on you for ganging up on them when they cant even fight back asshole! " She proclaimed to the sin of gluttony with a burning fire in her right dust implanted eye.
