warning: levi hurts a triple-headed doggy.
i. Kill me because I can't respond to you guys today either? /Cries/ I'm very sorry I started writing at 12AM because party and I wanted to update early. It's 3AM now, and so I'm very lazy and tired. Sorry ;-; But I did read through the reviews. I got really happy thanks to you guys- I had a nightmare where this story got extremely hateful reviews due to the previous chapter, and when I woke up, I immediately checked my mail. So good. SO. GOOD. THANK YOU.
There was once an archangel
Who was rumored to be the most
Wise, intelligent and kind of all
Well respected, treated like a sweet Princess
The archangel traveled near the Gates of Abyss and Heaven
And fell in love with an idiotic demon
The archangel asked Lilith and pleaded her
Not to tell anyone about her leave
In trade, the archangel gave Lilith her weapon: a scepter
And with that, the archangel allowed itself in,
And never came back.
Hitch skid across a large field of red roses seemingly without thorns, ripping down the center and creating a large gaping pathway. Her body shook in shock as she trained to regain her bearings, shaking uncontrollably as she felt something bubble up her throat. Hitch's eyes widened as she coughed a few times, her lungs out of oxygen. She breathed in and out in quick gasps as she felt liquid spew out from her stomach and mouth. She rose a hand and put a a thick, long finger on a corner of her lips, wiping her face to see if that liquid was her own saliva. Cold emerald eyes widened in shock as her eyes met a dark, red color which stained her fingers. Hitch's shock immediately turned to anger as she gritted her teeth, her vision fading for a quick moment as she realized she had used too much of her power to break Levi's cuffs. She grunted and slowly pulled her upper body up, her shaking ceasing as she clenched her shoulder, her nails digging into her shoulder and making crescent marks on her pallid skin which tore slightly and began to bleed. She shut her eyes for a moment, trying to figure out the amount of energy she had in her body to see if she could summon her Cerberus here to help her out until a ominous presence made itself welcome to her senses.
"Well," The raven haired King snickered, "what a nice turn of events, no?" His eyelids fluttered shut as he rolled his neck from side to side, rolling his shoulders shortly after as fresh, new energy coursed through his veins. It had been quite some time- a thousand years, to be more precise, since Levi had this much power flowing through his veins. Even though it wasn't much, Levi felt as though he was reborn, kicking and glowing with energy. He opened his eyes and lazily eyed Hitch as she struggled to stand up, "No more playing around with you," he stated as he drummed his fingers on the handle of his blade. His grip was loose; it was a part of his style of dueling. If he used both blades, his grip would be tight, but as of now, he had only one of his weapons out.
Hitch hissed and scowl, her typical grin and spark of mischievousness in her eyes gone as if they were never there to begin with. That spark was replaced with a kind of seriousness which Levi had only seen once or twice in his life, both moments of when he had seen them being when she was absolutely surprised or unsettled with her current situation. Her agitated look gave Levi more confidence and satisfaction in his success of regaining his powers.
"Fine," Hitch growled as she resumed her fighting stance, sticking a hand out and gripping onto the curved blade she loved so dearly as it reappeared, "no more playing. I'll get serious," Hitch launched herself at him in full speed, "now!" As soon as Hitch neared Levi, she leaped up in the air, soaring for a few seconds before throwing her weight downwards to her sword and descending directly above Levi. Once she had landed, she almost screamed. Levi had already disappeared.
Levi, as a child, was always so slow and weak with his attacks, but now that he had grown into a man, he was most likely the third strongest of all the Sins, sitting beside Greed who took second place, and next to Gluttony, whom he was currently dealing with. Levi was the swiftest of all, and delivered quick, strong blows before giving his enemy and himself distance in order to deflect any attacks he would receive immediately after his attacks were given and received.
Levi took the time for Hitch to realize his absence of presence to deliver a playful, hard slash on her left arm using the blunt edge of his blade. He then threw himself backwards, a knowing, cocky smirk on his face as he watched Hitch flinch in surprise at his attack, his silver eyes gleaming with amusement. He stood straight, raising his arm up and slicing a few roses off their stems as Hitch shrieked in irritation.
"How dare you mock me!" Hitch shrieked as she took her sword out of the broken earth below her, her eyes a bright, dangerously vivid crimson color as she reverted her position back into battle stance, her blade glowing green and leaving trails as she rushed towards him again, slightly breathless due to the fact that she had already thrown most of her strength into the one attack she had done previously for she felt absolutely confident about her accuracy and chance to strike. Levi blocked her attack using his blade tilting his elbow upwards as he skidded slightly. He found the rage inside her unusual: Hitch was usually never serious about her work and attacks, but seeing as though she was throwing all of her strength into the past two attacks she had desperately tried to deliver so far, she was really giving it her all.
Levi furrowed his eyebrows as he felt a wave of seriousness flood through him, his eyes turning sharp as he suddenly felt more focused onto the fight before him. He felt this not because of the fact that he felt the urge to win, but because he knew that if she got any more angered than she already was, she would show her true self and possibly wreck everything in her path. Any of the Seven Sins, when set aflame, would let themselves loose; their powers would burst from within themselves and they would be able to dual cast their powers and use several things at once- something which was rather hard to do- even for demons. This was highly intolerable in Abyss, it was a sign of weakness. The Seven Demons shared the pride to march forward without having to use their 'ability' for it was a sign of weakness, however, some of the Sins such as Envy and Hitch herself depended on this. They abused their privileges greatly, which earned them nothing but the loss of respect and a degrading image.
Levi jumped backwards and found that there were three spears behind him, aimed at his back, preparing to thrust themselves forward with a simple snap of a finger or with the simple motion of waving one's hand. He was momentarily caught off guard by this and barely missed the curved blade which was being swung from right to left in front of him. Levi's silver eyes quickly averted to his right upon seeing her little waving gesture, deflecting the spears thrown at him by using his sword. His was reflexes caused him to blockade Hitch's attack from above, Levi's blade gaining a scratch due to the impact and friction. The raven haired male hissed. He would have to waste a bit more of his power now. He wanted to make a swift, quick ending to their battle, with him as the winner, of course. As soon as Hitch jumped off him, she was being encircled with miniature daggers. Levi urged the daggers to come towards her as he ran towards the fallow haired woman, his sword out, blunt edge facing her.
Hitch skillfully diverted the daggers using her curved sword within one, swift motion, her balance faltering slightly as she watched the daggers shatter and disappear like stardust due to the impact of the blades hitting her thick blade. Levi took this moment to attack her while she was still regaining her balance, striking her once, managing to make a slightly deep cut in her right shoulder. Within seconds, Levi had latched onto her shirt, pulling her towards him, and let his fingers on his right hand slide out of the slots they belonged to on the handle of the blade. He took his left hand and slid his fingers back into the slots after the sword flipped over so that the sharp edge faced Hitch once more. He let go of her shirt, and made another quick, deep cut, although this time it had landed its hit on her back.
The Queen of Gluttony fell forwards in pain, her sword vanishing as it hit the floor yet again, leaving its master's hand and losing all contact with her. Hitch gasped in shock as her sword disappeared, her whole body freezing as Levi put a boot on her chest, pushing her down onto the bed of roses as he stuck his sword beside her head. Her eyes widened in fear at the thought of death welcoming her.
"Well," Levi grunted, "are you going to give up and leave, or are you going to sleep in a flower bed?" His voice was casual, his silver eyes sharp, and they almost seemed as though they were forcefully drawing the answers out of Hitch without effort.
Hitch began to shake with the emotion of rejection of defeat. She wouldn't allow this. She was better than him, and she knew it. Back then, she would always pick on Levi- she would always beat him up when she was bored, and he would sit there and simply take it all in. A cold, empty laugh escaped her throat and fell from her dry lips, "I won't accept defeat." She growled, glaring up at him as she gritted her teeth, her jawline visibly tensing as she repeated her words in a hiss, "I won't accept defeat," the word 'defeat' sounded like venom on her tongue. Hitch's eyes turned crimson yet again, alarming Levi as he prepared to kill her then and there- until, that is, when he realized that black, tattoo-like marks began to extend from the sides of her face, reaching her eyes- and once they reached her eyes, Levi found himself paralyzed.
He couldn't move. He couldn't even blink.
The black marks colored the outside of her eyes black- and it seemed almost as if ink had found its way into her sclera, staining them with such a color which was unnatural to all beings.
Hitch let out a feral scream, an explosion which had colors that consisted of dark shades occurred, causing Levi to become pushed back. Crimson petals floated about due to the blast of power and blocked Levi's sight, causing his mind to momentarily go hazy. It wasn't until he had seen a glint of green and black to his right that he realized where Hitch had been. He managed to block her attack, looking at the image of her for a brief moment. She was completely mad: out of her senses, and it looked as if she didn't care about anything anymore. She craved and hungered, like the gluttonous beast she was, for one thing and one thing only at this moment: to have Levi's head in her hand. Hitch let out an inhuman screech of anger as she attached most of her strength into another hit she was sending to Levi, dashing forwards in a quicker speed than she had been before she had used her ability. She spun for a moment and managed to cut Levi's left arm, grinning manically as soon as she saw the droplets of red ooze out from the cut. Hitch multiple more times after her hit, watching with amusement as Levi danced in front of her, parrying some of her attacks. There were some attacks that he couldn't dodge, and those attacks landed deep cuts on his sides and arms, but never did he once flinch or let out a pained hiss. He was focused on finding her weak point, and the only reason why he wasn't attacking back was because he was busy analyzing her tactics.
Hitch had a pattern: Dash, attack, attack, and pull back.
She never bothered to defend herself- not unless Levi attacked, anyway.
Levi smirked as he finally found a way to land a blow on her. When she would pull back, he would abuse his capability to run fast and shower her with daggers from left and right while attacking her simultaneously. He waited until she dashed forwards and pulled back a few times, watching her routine of hits as he continued to blockade her attacks using his sword, and once he found the right time to strike along with the correct amount of courage and confidence, he sprung forwards, catching her off guard. Levi dashed past her, confusing her for a brief moment until she realized that he had summoned daggers from above her, and on her left and right. She took her demonic sword out and prepared to deflect them, shock coursing through her veins as soon as a dagger hidden from her view had stabbed her directly on the leg before vanishing.
"Now!" Levi inwardly told himself as he ran forwards, flipping his sword around with the sharp edge turned directly at her.
Hitch let out a piercing cry as Levi made a broad cut on her side, her eyesight blurring as the edges of her vision turned black. Levi waved his hand and beckoned the daggers to stab her. Obediently, the daggers did as they were told, stabbing her arms whilst the dagger above her encircled her, cutting her legs. Levi slid his fingers out of the slots yet again and switched hands, making another cut to her other side as he dashed around her, making the cut shallow. Levi thought for a moment that the battle was over until she let out a weak whistle. Levi's eyes widened as he tried to skid to stop upon seeing a dark ball cast in front of him. He leaped backwards, barely missing an attack which one of the three heads of the Cerberus had tried to land on him.
The mammoth sized Cerberus' paws scratched at the roses below it, sending a bunch of red roses flying backwards, its dark blue fur glistening slightly as its yellow eyes remained focused on Levi.
"Finish him off!" Was Hitch's hoarse cry, commanding the Cerberus to kill Levi as she doubled over, her eyes fluttering shut.
"Fuck," Levi cursed as the three-headed dog rushed at him, their long, rough tongues out, their mouths wide open, showing off their sharp canines and the disgusting pieces of meat stuck in between them. Levi leaped upwards, seeing that there was no choice but to summon his other blade. Using up almost all of the power he had left, he summoned his other blade. Together, his twin blades were death itself. He gripped onto both blades tightly as the Cerberus leaned back on its hind paws, preparing itself to leap upwards as Levi waited patiently for it to launch itself upwards, his arms forming an 'x' as he began to descend.
The Cerberus then leaped up, and Levi initiated his attack. He threw all of his weight downwards, pulling his swords forward as he met the dangerous, livid Cerberus. All three heads missed Levi as he spun around in an inhumanly fast speed, traveling around the beast's back, making deep-seated indents marking his spot using his blades as he spiraled downwards, slicing up what he could before falling down, slicing up a few roses while he was at it. Cerberus let out a pained cry as black blood escaped it, growling at Levi, its saliva dripping from all three heads as it turned around to face the King.
"Tsk," Levi hissed in disgust, "filthy mutt blood on me," he prepared himself for another attack, only becoming aware of the extra, powerful presence in the area with him once a bright, light of spear formed from beside the beast, stabbing its side before fading into nothing. Levi quickly diverted his attention, looking at the slow approaching male wearing a robe of white and red, his hands tucked neatly beside his back as he let a wrinkly smile show on his face.
Levi rose an eyebrow at the bald old man with wrinkles all around his face, his eyebrows and mustache grey in color. "And," Levi showed no signs of relaxing, "you must be?"
"Dot Pixis," the old man chuckled as he neared Levi, introducing himself with a smile, "I am Erwin's right hand," he nodded, "and I am not here to fight you, but I am here to simply assist you."
"Yeah, right," Levi scoffed, "assist kill me, you mean?" Levi didn't notice the humungous beast in front of him charge at him, and by the time he had averted his eyes back to the beast, it was too late.
Pixis proved himself as Levi's currently ally for the moment as he created a large, circular wall of light in front of Levi, blockading him from the Cerberus. Pixis then stuck a hand out, bright, light yellow swords forming around the Cerberus until he urged them forwards, causing the Cerberus to get hit from all around.
The Cerberus jumped backwards, disgusting, ink-black colored blood staining its fur as it growled.
Levi didn't say 'thank you' to the man. He only prepared himself to launch at the Cerberus yet again, responding to Pixis' actions. "Well," Levi snickered, "I'll work with you, then." With that, Levi charged forwards, summoning six daggers while meeting the Cerberus half way and spiraling around it yet again, taking full control of his blades. His blades then began to glow an eerie shade of purple as he used his powers to heat his blades up. The daggers struck the Cerberus as Pixis aided Levi by summoning a few more swords.
Pixis chuckled, "That looks like fun, spinning around and all," he joked as he cast out a few more swords, knowing that the Cerberus was already almost at its peak of death. The blades of light thrust into the beast as Levi pulled away, his swords disappearing as he fell to the ground, exhausted after using almost all of his powers.
The Cerberus let out a roar before weakly falling to its hind legs, preparing to launch itself towards Pixis and Levi.
Pixis muttered underneath his breath as a large equilateral box of light formed above the Cerberus before quickly descending, preventing the Cerberus from attacking them yet again as bars formed, caging the tamed beast in a large box-like jail.
Levi scoffed as the mutt tried to paw through the cage, standing back up. He looked over at his supposedly dead sister and neared her. He bent down slightly, knowing that even if she was still alive that she wouldn't be able to get Levi. She had used all of her powers, draining herself completely. All she had to do now was to either sleep to regain her energy back, like any being would, or she would have to follow her title's namesake. She would have to eat lots. This second method of gaining energy was a method only the King of Lust and the Queen of Gluttony could do: follow their title's namesake.
Levi rose a hand up, feeling the pulse beside her neck, and once he realized that she was just asleep from fatigue, he pulled away and let out an annoyed sigh. "Listen, bitch, I know that you probably can't hear me, but I never want you intruding my special day with my mate, do you understand?" Levi hissed, his eyes flashing red for a brief moment, "I'm kind of pissed at you for making me have to take my Eren's energy to kick your ass, but I'll forgive you. So, for now, I won't kill you. I'll gracefully hand you over to Erwin and let your ass be handed until someone will free you- which I doubt anyone would do, since you're such an annoying little ungrateful shit." He ranted, giving the sleeping female a disgusted, dark look, "And your Cerberus will be with you, too. Have fun with the restraints." He sarcastically said before turning away and stalking off.
"King Levi," Pixis began with a smile as he cast a powerful bind on Hitch in case she woke up, "was it? I shall assist you to the palace, and I hope you don't mind, but.." Pixis cast cuffs over Levi's hands, "I was told to do this right after."
Levi rolled his eyes, "Of course," he spat venomously, "because I'm a demon and I cannot be trusted in any way, whatsoever," he scoffed, "whatever. What about the mutt?" Levi rose an eyebrow, "Is he just going to enjoy the sight of Eden and drool all around the flowers? I thought he was going to be taken away," Levi's sharp eyes looked into light brown ones.
"I will ask for my guards to take him away, but for now," Pixis sighed, "we have more pressing matters- such as cleaning up the bodies of respected soldiers outside," the bald headed man walked beside Levi, ambling down a path which Pixis disliked. "Why are all the trees cut off in this one, straight line?" He queried Levi with utter curiosity, "Did you throw the Cerberus around?"
Levi snickered, "No," he denied, "that gluttonous garbage made me.. upset." He chose his wording carefully, not wanting to sound immature, for he was usually calm and collected rather than enraged and crazed.
"May I ask you what made you so mad?" Pixis interrogated Levi further, his curiosity increasing as he awaited for the raven-haired male's answer. Pixis stepped over some particles of the broken tree beside him, shaking his head because he would have to replace many things in Eden.
"..She touched my mate," Levi bristled in annoyance at the memory of Hitch touching Eren, "and she also tried to reap his soul." He noticed Eren's slumped body where he had left him a few yards away from him, and he immediately raced towards the tan skinned male.
"Reap his..?" Pixis stopped in his tracks as soon as he found the young nephilim ahead of him. He narrowed his eyes in familiarity, and suddenly, a thought hit him. He frowned for a moment before smiling upon remembering Eren Jaeger's mother, "Ah, the son of Carla, I assume." He hummed silently to himself before approaching both males. "Did she manage to tug at his soul?" Pixis questioned Levi with a serious undertone in his voice.
"Yes," Levi agreed, brushing pieces of Eren's brown hair away from his sweet-looking sleepy facial expression, finding the way that Eren looked on his sleep as of this moment different from last night's. Eren looked more relaxed and in peace, for some reason. Levi had drained most of Eren's energy out, and usually, this would cause the victim's muscles to tense. Eren's reaction was unusual, but he decided to ignore it.
"If she tugged his soul very hard, then he would remain asleep for a week. If she tugged lightly, he would be asleep for a maximum of three days," Pixis confessed, his facial expression thoughtful, "his soul might take some time to reattach onto his heart, and even if it did, it would still be in the state of shock for awhile."
"I see," Levi responded with a frown. This would mean that he wouldn't have anybody to talk to or sleep with until then. Levi sighed and carried Eren up bridal style, feeling rather fond towards the brunette cradled in his arms. He smiled slightly and planted a quick peck on Eren's forehead, whispering his 'thanks' to Eren. "Thanks to you," Levi quietly chuckled as he began to walk towards the direction where the Gates of Eden lay, "I beat her, and thanks to you, I'm still alive." Levi's clutch around the younger male tightened slightly as a devious smile tugged on Levi's lips, "Now, I know for sure that I won't let you go.." He whispered into Eren's ear, "So you may or may not have just made a turn for the worst, Eren.."
Pixis hummed a tune to himself, trying vainly to ignore the Cerberus' loud whines. He was a dog-lover. He loved dogs, and hearing the Cerberus whine in such a sad voice made Pixis unsettled. He thought of several things in his head, letting his mind travel to the back of his brain as he tried to remember some important information about the demon in front of him, holding the infamous nephilim in his arms. Pixis narrowed his eyes at Levi's back. He would have to keep a close eye on these two in case anything happened in the near future.
As soon as the trio arrived to the palace, archangels and angels alike surrounded them, their swords, bows and arrows and spears directed at Levi and Eren. Pixis rose an eyebrow whilst Levi merely brushed them off. He was used to such rough treatment now. Not wanting Eren to get hurt, he stood still.
"King Levi," an archangel took a step forward, "the main demon of the Sin called Lust, who reigns over the Seventh Abyss," he cleared his throat as soon as Levi glared at him, "you are to be executed within four days."
"Why?" Was Levi's sharp, irritated and rather angered response. He had practically saved everyone in Heaven, yet here they were, arresting him yet again and declaring that his execution would happen within four days.
"The Demon of Gluttony, who reigns over the Fourth Abyss, was sent here to save you, was she not?" The archangel didn't even allow Levi to object, "Therefore, you are to receive your ultimate punishment: death." The male archangel's chocolate brown eyes glared down at Levi.
Levi paused for a moment, his jawline tightening. He thought, and thought, and thought for a moment before feigning a scowl, "Yes, that's right," he lied knowingly, "she was sent to save me, and she failed at that task. My execution is happening in four days?" He let out a little scoff, "Fine. I'm tired of living in that cell anyway," Levi accepted his punishment. The angels and archangels cheered, glad that one of the main demons would finally die over millions of years of fighting. Levi kept his scowl thin on his face as he looked over at Eren's face.
He would commence his plan starting today. Hopefully, Hanji was done with her mixture, and hopefully, Eren would be awake by then.
