In a lush private room, a portal opened on the ceiling with Jacoby falling out of it then having Balrog land on top of him. Jacoby groaned then asked,"Please get off me." to Balrog. The two then looked up to see Hezekiah staring at them with his hands in his pockets.

Balrog stood up then she said,"Hezekiah, why did you do that?!" in an angered tone.

"Because you were causing a scene, plus Jacoby was defeated by that guy in the white and I couldn't bear to watch you both get beaten.",Hezekiah said while crossing his arms over his chest. Balrog gritted her teeth as fiery orange and blue flames erupted from her being then she looked to the side as she heard Cleo say,"I told him to do it Balrog."

Cleo came into the room this time having a different appearance. Cleo's hair was now platinum blonde, she had an obsidian headpiece which went around her chin and her head and a headband that had two horn-like portions on the sides of the head band (one on either side of her head.), and her eyes were now pitch black save for her yellow irises and pupils. Cleo currently wore black armor that had an obsidian like appearance with the shoulder pads having curved spikes on the ends and being connected to the torso armor that only covered down to just below Cleo's breasts, gauntlets that stopped at the elbow and had three angular curved blades coming out of the forearms and that covered Cleo's hand with clawed tips on the fingers, an armored skirt that went to half of Cleo's thigh and had a diamond like spiked appearance on it, and she had knee high armored boots that had wedged heels and spiked tips. Under this armor, Cleo only had on a torn faded yellow suit which was torn just above her abdomen, above her thighs and just under her shoulders, each torn part showing her skin.

Balrog turned to Cleo and said,"Why do that when I had Rose right there?!" angrily, causing the flames around her to flare.

"Because, as usual, you're blindly going after someone without thinking of the consequences. What would happen after you kill Rose and that man huh? You'd have exposed yourself to the public as Wrath.",Cleo said in a rather perturbed tone. Balrog scoffed then she said,"Why should I care about that? Humans are too stupid to believe anything they can't understand."

"You forget that there are those who do believe what they can't understand and if they see you, they'll ask questions and start coming after you. Knowing you, you'd kill 'em dead and throw more suspicion your way.",Cleo said, raising her tone. Balrog gritted her teeth then was about to speak when Hezikiah said,"Not to mention the lot of people who'd see you on the internet. Some of whom will know you're a demon and will start praying to God. Unless you want the bloody heavens to come down on us."

Balrog looked between Hezekiah and Cleo then her flames died down and she said,"Whatever." before storming off, her jacket having been burnt off during the exchange. Jacoby then stood and reverted to his human form while saying,"Ouch, she's heavier than I thought."

"As for you Jacoby,",Cleo said while turning to him, causing the man to jump in fear and try to hide behind his jacket. Cleo sighed then said,"How many times must I tell you that you need to stick up for yourself with Balrog?"

"Several thousand, but but. She's REALLY scary and every time I do anything to stand up for myself, she tries to kill me.",Jacoby said while pointing to where Balrog once was.

"Eh that's understandable, you should still say no though. Or run away. Yeah running away is good for you bud.",Hezekiah said while patting Jacoby on the shoulder. Jacoby nodded and said,"Run away from Balrog. That can work."

"Of course it will. Now go make another demon and be sure not to be seen in your transformed state.",Hezekiah said with a grin. Jacoby nodded then left the room. Cleo sighed then said,"Why is it that the only ones of us that are competent enough to think things out are you and I?"

"Well we were the ones who reported to the king back in the day. Plus the bloke taught you and I personally.",Hezekiah said casually. Cleo sighed once more then changed to her human form, which made Hezekiah comment,"Aw, and I was enjoying seeing you be Lust."

"Shut up.",Cleo said with a smirk as she exited the room, leaving Hezekiah alone.


At Devon's home, Rose sat next to Devon, looking at him up and down while he was watching TV. Devon looked at Rose with a questioning gaze then asked,"Is there a reason why you've been looking me up and down for the past half hour?"

"I'm trying to figure out how you can't remember being in that armor.",Rose said, continuing to look Devon up and down. Devon nodded slowly then he said,"Well could you maybe not molest me with your eyes? It's creepy."

"Oh shut up, it's not as creepy as you staring at pictures of people on your phone.",Rose said. Devon gained a questioning gaze again then said,"You mean when I'm looking at Instagram?"

"No, I mean when you're swiping through that thing on your phone where you can put hearts on photos and watch the moving pictures.",Rose said.

"That's Instagram.",Devon said in a deadpan tone.

"Oh… I knew that.",Rose said, trying not to look Devon in the eyes. Devon chuckled then his eyes turned light blue and his voice became like when he was Crusiad when he said,"If you're wondering how he cannot remember what he did, it's because of me."

Rose's eyes widened and she simply muttered,"Whoa."

"Hello Rose, I would have spoken up sooner but it's rather difficult to talk through this young man outside of the Crusiad armor.",Devon said. Rose nodded then she said,"Who are you and why are you possessing my friend?"

"I am an angel, sent to pursue the seven deadly sins. I am possessing your friend because it's the only way I can communicate with you and stay on Earth inconspicuously.",Devon said. Rose's eyes widened then she asked,"So how come he can't remember anything after you take over?"

"That is because me and him are two entities with me taking over his body. I put him into a sleep-like state and take over in order to do what I must. Eventually, he'll be able to use my power without need of me but until then I must use him.",Devon said while picking up a water bottle and drinking from it. Devon's eyes then changed back to their original color and he gained a confused expression as he said,"When did I pick up this water?"

Rose's jaw was dropped then she said,"Okay, and I thought the future was weird before. Now I have to deal with an angel."

"An angel? Where?",Devon questioned as he set his water bottle down. Rose groaned in frustration while saying,"Oh this is gonna be torture!"


Out in the city, Jacoby looked around while walking and said,"Come on, why is it so hard to find someone that is extremely jealous in a city like this?"

Jacoby then faced forward and he shouted in terror when he saw an annoyed Balrog standing in front of him, now having a new jacket. Jacoby held his arms out with a terrified expression on his face as he fearfully said,"Balrog, hi. You heard Cleo, you shouldn't be out because you'll cause too much of a disturbance."

"What was that you little!",Balrog ragefully said through gritted teeth while nearing Jacoby. Jacoby squealed then he ran away from Balrog. Balrog gritted her teeth and was about to chase him but Hezekiah put his hand on her shoulder while saying,"Hold on there Bal."

"Ugh, why are you here?!",Balrog angrily said.

"I'm here to make sure you don't go disobeying orders again.",Hezekiah admitted in a nonchalant tone. Balrog scoffed then she threw a punch at Hezekiah, and he easily caught it then put the blade of a hook sword to Balrog's neck before saying,"Ah ah ah, calm down Balrog."

Balrog gritted her teeth in anger as she looked at the blade then she said,"What do you want?"

"As I said, I am making sure you don't disobey orders. Only way to do that is to send you home.",Hezekiah said before snapping his fingers. This caused a portal to open under Balrog, and she fell through it before it closed. Hezekiah let out a satisfied sigh before he had his hook sword disappear and he began walking; disappearing in the crowd.

Meanwhile, Jacoby had stopped and was panting while having his hands on his knees. He looked up then said,"I can't keep doing this. I gotta make it so things can go back to being normal."

"JACOBY!",Jacoby heard someone say behind him. He stood up straight and turned around to see Rose and Devon standing several feet behind him. Jacoby yelped then he ran away from the duo. Rose and Devon chased after Jacoby with Rose shouting,"Get back here!"


Inside a building that was under construction, Jacoby ran into the building and frantically looked for a place to hide before he said,"Dammit, nowhere to hide. I can't go outside because Rose is close. What can I do, what can I do?"

Jacoby then began to hear something coming from all around him and he gained a confident expression as he said,"Yeah, yeah I'm a deadly sin, I'm the sin of Envy."

Jacoby begins to stand up straight while looking around him before saying,"Huh, that can work. I'll show her what it means to be envious. I'll show them all." as his eyes glow red and lime green aura radiates from him.

Outside the building, Devon and Rose ran up to the building under construction with Devon saying,"Where'd he go?" while trying to catch his breath.

"I don't know for sure but he is around here. I can sense him.",Rose said while looking around, her killer instinct on display. It was then that the unfinished building was destroyed by an explosion of lime green energy and flames. Rose and Devon gained surprised expressions as they slowly turned to the now destroyed building and saw Jacoby, now as the sin of Envy, step out with his halberd in hand.

"Rose! You want to fight me, well I am here and I am ready for you.",Jacoby said while brandishing his halberd and having every demon he created appear on either side of him, now with them all being lime green with red eyes.

Rose and Devon continued to stare at Jacoby and his group of demons with surprise and some apprehension.
