Hey guys here's another chapter. I just want to get as many out as I can before I go off the grid for about two weeks so be grateful. Now on with the story!
Gluttony III
I couldn't believe Greed had to do that there. I understand that he wanted a follower but to do the ceremony right in front of the Elements was a bit much.
Personally I think he did that on purpose just to screw with us. Asshole.
Right now I was sitting in my room in Sweet Apple Acres while the Apple family slept in the surrounding rooms thinking about what we were going to do.
These ponies were weak. They may think they're tough but that's only because they haven't faced the real bad guys.
All of their enemies so far were either underestimated them or were just too weak to properly fight them.
Take Sombra and Moon for example, they were powerful and could have easily killed the Elements but chose not to because they thought that they weren't worth the time to do so. If they had taken them as serious threats then the Element's would be six feet under without a doubt.
Discord was just a playful if arrogant fool who just wanted to cause mischief.
Lastly Chrysalis. Even though she had been stealing love From Shining Armor she was not truly at full power and was taken by surprise because she too underestimated the Elements. Sure they got some recognition from taking down a shit load of changelings. But those were just drones, workers. If they had come across a warrior changeling things would have been a lot different.
All of their previous foes all had one thing in common. They lacked the need to kill the Elements.
Now things had changed. Now that Moon and Sombra were back they were going to do what they should have done in the beginning and get rid of any and all opposition.
We couldn't fight them and their lackeys while at the same time protect the Elements. It just wasn't possible. I knew what we had to do but I don't think the other Sin's will like it. But they had to agree or we were all screwed.
It was time for a meeting. I sent a quick call to the Sin's via mind link and headed to the Everfree forest for the meeting.
The Sin's didn't need to fear anything in the forest since our presence scared away any and all creatures that would even think about attacking.
I arrived at the clearing where all of the Sin's already were with an extra. Apparently that vampony of Greeds was attached to him at the hip and refused to leave him. She was perched on Greed's shoulder like some type of pet bird and was snuggling into his neck which brought a smile to his face.
It was strange to see Greed smiling without a bloodthirsty look in his eyes.
"What's the deal Gluttony I was having a good dream about a warlord and a rusty spoon," said Pride clearly annoyed.
"I have to go with the stupid male on this one. What gives," said Lust.
"Well I think we may have to do something about our charges."
That got their attention. Every pair of eyes were on me even the vamponies.
"I know that you've all noticed that we can't protect our charges and fight at the same time. Something needs to be done about this."
"Well what did you have in mind Gluttony," asked Envy.
Now here came the hard part. I only hoped I kept my head after this.
"We should make the Elements our follower's."
Everything seemed to stand still for a moment. Nothing in the forest I think even breathed before there was a collective roar of, "WHAT!?"
It took a while but I eventually calmed them down enough to explain my reasoning's.
"Listen guys this is our best option. With being our followers they have a better chance at defending themselves and we can better protect them."
"You forget one thing Gluttony," this time Greed spoke, "in order to fully become our followers they will need to take the life of another. And we all know for a fact that most if not all of them will go against that. There is no way they could become our follower's."
Sloth stepped in then, "actually it may not be as hard as it seems guys. If we can show them the right target's then it would be easy to get them to accept. I may have the perfect way to do this as long as they accept."
After that we agreed to do the ceremony tomorrow collectively. I just hope this goes without a hitch or else not only the Sin's will have my head but my mistress will as well.
time skip
We all met up at the Ponyville spa the next morning even with the protest of the guys. I think I speak for every man when I say that we hate that damn puppy dog look and all of it's effect's!
So here we are in the steam room when we agreed to ask the question to the Element's.
"Girl's we need to ask you something," began Sloth.
"We want to ask you to become our follower's," finished Lust.
The girls just sat there with shock displayed on their faces.
"But what would happen if we do? And why us," asked Dash.
"Well first off you weren't our first choice for being our follower's since you lack certain... qualities. But nevertheless this is the best option for us if we hope to protect you. When you become our champions you will gain our abilities only to a lesser extent. Physical changes will vary from each-other. You girls should accept if you hope to last in this world," I stated matter of factly."
The girls formed a group huddle and I just now noticed the vampony with them again as if she had been there the whole time.
Me and the other Sin's looked to Greed who just shrugged his shoulder's and said, "what? She comes and goes as she pleases. She even declared herself my personal servant. Just this morning I woke up to her spooning with me and Pinky."
"Wait you sleep with Pinky," asked Pride.
"One more word and I'll gut you," responded Greed which shut Pride up for the moment.
Finally the girls turned to us and said in unison, "we agree."
"Great! Now let's start the ceremony," said Lust as she stood in front of Rarity.
We all stood in front of our charges and readied our claws, hands, or horns before plunging them into the chests of our charges and began the ancient chant. Greed had to use both claws since he was doing it to Pinky and Vinyl.
It was a few minutes later and the ceremony was complete.
When we all finally released the girls They all passed out from the intake of our power's.
"Ha told you! Pay up Lust," said Pride with a triumphant smirk on his face while Lust just grumbled and tossed him a small bag of what I assumed was money.
I shook my head at Pride and Lust's childish antics but couldn't help but smile at it also.
"Alright well let's take them back to their homes. The physical changes should be coming up soon so be ready for it and we'll see the result's tomorrow," I said with finality before picking up Aj and walking off.
I hope I don't get a buck to the nuts for what I did. Man the things I do for my mistress.
Well next chapter is done guys. Review and/or Pm. Until then, Nicranger out.
