Jet was relieved to see Wendy and Velkan, Sloth could not keep up with him but Jet did not have a lot physical power, so his blows to Sloth barely affected him. Sloth was incredibly slow but he had a lot of power. He had hit Jet twice and Jet was still wincing form the pain. Velkan showed up and Sloth's eyes widened, he looked scared and panicked. Jet almost felt bad for Sloth, Sloth seemed so young.

"Shit," Sloth said.

"What's up, kid?" Velkan responded.

"Let's get this over with," Sloth said while standing up.

Velkan did not answer he ran ahead and punched Sloth in the gut. Sloth slumped over his fist and heaved up blood. Sloth sank to his knees, he knew that Velkan hated hurting kids, and because of his appearance he was often considered a kid, that meant that was half of Velkan's power.

"Who sent you?" Velkan asked.

"I don't know, I was just following Wrath's orders" Sloth said, while trying to catch his breath.

"I have no use for you," Velkan said.

"I know," Sloth said. He tried to put his best kid face on, he normally hated that he stopped maturing at 16 but right now he was thankful. The Gospels were notorious for inflicting pain when it meant Sonja's life or whenever she ordered it.

Velkan shook his head, "I am sorry, Sloth, you aren't a bad kid." Velkan hated this, he told Wendy to turn around and reached around and broke Sloth's neck. The Sin shattered into a million pieces and turned mostly to ash before he hit the ground. He walked back to Wendy, he offered her a shy smile, and she returned his smile. He picked up Lucy's unconscious body and walked out the door, trying to forget the pain of hurting a child.

"Come on we are going to go find Erza and a friend of mine," Velkan told Jet and Wendy.

Lucian where are you? Velkan thought.

Dang someone is cranky, I am with Erza, Lucian thought back.

I hate killing Sloth, he looks like a kid. I am with the others. Meet outside, Velkan told him.

On the way, Lucian responded. Lucian didn't try to offer much support, the Gospels each had their own history and Velkan was very touchy about hurting children. None of the Gospels ever tried to pry into each other's past lives, they each had their own secrets on how and why they wound up being attached to Sonja. No matter the back ground it always ended up the same way, Sonja saved them and they owed her so much they sold their souls to her forever serve and protect her.

Once all of the members met up, Wendy decided to try to heal Lucy. Velkan pushed her away, "No, you have used enough of your power," he told her protectively. Wendy nodded her head.

Velkan and Lucian decided it would be easier for Lucy to stay the way she was than to be awoken. Sonja we are all together, everyone is fine. Lucy is still unconscious but everyone else is fine, Velkan told her.

Sonja let out a sigh of relief, I will talk to you later, I just found Gray. Stay together, if I need help I will ask you guys.

30 minutes before…

Natsu and Envy circled each other, Envy had a wide sadistic smile on her face. Natsu had wasted a lot of time trying to fight her. He probably should have contacted Sonja for help but he had too much pride to give up, he knew he was strong enough to defeat his target.

"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" Natsu shouts as he lights his fist on fire and punches the Sin in the face. Envy was shocked, he had actually hit her. Not many people were brave enough to actually hit her.

"Fire Dragon's Flame Elbow!" Natsu shouts as his elbow crashes into Envy's jaw. The Sin now understood that this mage in front of her was going to continue to hit her. She admired his guts but the pain in her jaw made her want to coat her hands in his blood. She reached up and wiped away the blood stream that starting to flow out of the side of her mouth.

Envy advanced on the pink haired mage, she brought her fist towards his face, Natsu dodged her attack. She anticipated he would avoid it, she quickly brought her knee up and hit him in the gut. Natsu took the hit, he took advantage of their close range and shouted "Fire Dragon's Sword Horn," as he head butted Envy. Envy hit her knees on the floor as she collapsed. She struggled to get back up, she was normally more powerful because her power would take effect on her opponent. Natsu was not affected by Envy at all, he rarely envied anyone, his personality made him more proud and his other fault was his anger so he was the perfect opponent for Envy. She tried to get back up but staggered her head was splitting , she started to rise when she noticed Natsu building his magic power, Envy was ashamed that she lost so easily. She started relying way too much on her magic and stopped training her physical strength so she was a lot weaker than she had hoped.

The last thing Envy heard before everything went black was Natsu shout, "Fire Dragon Secret Art: Crimson Lotus: Fire Dragon's Fist," than she felt the sharp pain as Natsu hit her in the back of the head.

Natsu looked down at the now unconscious Envy with pity. She seemed so proud and he had knocked her off of her high pedestal. He had just turned around about to contact Sonja when he heard her running past the room he was in, she did not stop.

"Sonja?" Natsu called to her, she didn't hear him. He figured she was going to do something important.

Sonja had finally reached Gray, she was happy that everyone was safe and that four of the Sins had been taken out.

"Gray?" Sonja calls out. She looked at the pink room there was a massive hole in the room that lead to the foyer. She walked out into the foyer through the hole, "Gray?!" she called out a little louder.

"Sonja, you look beautiful on this fine day," Gray said with a lustful look in his eyes.

Gray slowly advanced towards her, she put up her defenses, he had been affected by Lust's power. She swore at herself. She should have left Lust to someone else, anyone but the exhibitionist that was standing in front of her.

"Feeling okay Gray?" Sonja asked, hoping she could reach him.

"I would feel a little better if we were a little closer," Gray said now just a few feet from her.

Gray reached to touch Sonja's face, she stepped to the side, she was trying to figure out a way to stop Gray without really hurting him. If she called out any of her Gospels they would kill Gray without her ever getting the chance to tell them not to. She hoped Natsu had finished with Envy, Natsu and Gray fought all the time so he would know how to take care of Gray.

Natsu? Sonja called out.

Sonja, why does it sound like you are inside my head? Natsu asked. She had a feeling that he said that out loud, she would have giggled if she wasn't dealing with Gray. They had already communicated like this before and he still didn't get it, sometimes his childish ways and his innocence was adorable to her.

I am speaking to you through thoughts, I really don't have time to explain. I need your help. Gray might try to attack me, I don't wanna hurt him. Please come help me, Sonja asked.

Shit, where are you? Natsu asked. He knew that Gray was fighting Lust, and Sonja was beautiful, both he and Gray had lustful thoughts about her without Lust's spells. He hoped Sonja would stop him, even by force, if he tried to do anything.

I am going to show you, close your eyes. Sonja concentrated and uploaded a map of the castle into Natsu's head, she pointed out where she was. I am going to give out a lot of magic energy so it will be easier for you to find me.

I will hurry, don't let that Popsicle touch you, okay? Natsu said. Sonja sensed something different in his voice.

Natsu started running towards Sonja. He could not explain it but he was drawn to her. And the idea of someone else touching her pissed him off. He was slightly scared that he would hurt Gray because of how angry he was at the thought of him trying to touch Sonja, especially that way.

Sonja was avoiding Gray while waiting for Natsu to get there. She was trying to focus and find Lust. The blonde must be close by, Lust normally avoided any physical fighting but she would make sure Sonja was stopped before she ran away.

Sonja could not focus, she had to keep side stepping Gray. She was thankful he wasn't using magic to try and keep her in place. She could tell that Gray was beginning to become angry, "Would you stand still," he shouted.

"Stop Gray this isn't you," Sonja tried to reason with Gray.

"How do you know? You never pay attention to me, you only pay attention to Natsu," Gray said jealously.

Natsu showed up, he seen Gray reach for Sonja's face. His keen senses allowed him to see that Sonja was tensing for impact. He felt his anger raise, "Fire Dragon's Roar!" he shouted. The river of flames hit the ice-make mage head on.

Sonja breathed a sigh of relief that Natsu was there. "Natsu please take care of him, I am going to find Lust," Sonja shouted at Natsu.

Natsu nodded, Gray did not even look like himself. His eyes seemed zoned out. If Gray's head wasn't all there Natsu could be able to defeat Gray. "I am not going to hold back," Natsu said.

"Good flame-brain, I won't either. I guess we will fight over the Princess, "Gray retorted.

Natsu had no intention of fighting over Sonja, he didn't think of her as a trophy to be won. He could tell she would be furious if she ever heard anyone talk about her that way. But he was not going to let the ice-make mage think that she was available, he felt extremely protective over her.

Gray attacked first, "Ice-Make: Knuckle," Gray shouted. Gray froze the ground, as Natsu started to slip five huge fists shot out of the floor and hit Natsu. Once Natsu was air-born he used his fire dragon's roar to melt the fists.

"Fire-Dragon's Iron Fist," Natsu slammed his fist into the side of Gray's face. The ice-make mage flew into the wall. The ice-make mage flew through the wall and crashed outside of the castle. Gray walked back into the castle and retaliated with "Ice-Make: Ice Cannon," He screamed as the ice cannon ball ripped down the hallway at Natsu. Natsu lit his hand on fire and said "Fire Dragon's Crushing Fang," he swiped his hand a crossed the ball, his flame was hot enough to melt the ball but it was able to drastically reduce the size of the ice ball, it was mostly water when hit finally hit Natsu so the damage was limited.

Gray was tired of fighting with Natsu, he was not in the mood to deal with the Fire Dragon Slayer. He wanted to find Sonja, he wanted her like crazy. "Come one, Natsu, we can share her. I just want to go find her," he said trying to make Natsu leave him alone for a while.

"Like hell, I won't let you touch her!" Natsu yelled at him.

"What you want her for yourself?" Gray asked. Neither of them know that Lust was listening to them. Lust had completely hidden herself, Sonja would kill her, probably painfully, once she found her. She was looking for an easy way out, and the boys had just given it to her. All she needed was for Gray to be out of the picture.

"Dragon Slayer's Secret Art: Crimson Lotus: Exploding Flame Blade," Natsu said, he knew that Gray would not be able to withstand that attack. As the fire flowed around Gray, Gray tried to lessen the blow by freezing the water particles the air, his move did not work. The flames danced around Gray high enough that Natsu could not see Gray, once the flames cleared Gray was left on his knees looking up at the ceiling of the old castle. He had burns all over him, he was on his knees but fell forward. Natsu moved to catch his friend and rival, he caught Gray just before he face planted. Natsu moved Gray and propped him up against the wall.

Sonja came back to the same room as Natsu and Gray. "I can't find Lust, can you smell her?" Sonja asked.

Natsu put his nose up in the air and started to sniff, he wasn't sure what Lust would smell like so he just searched for an unfamiliar scent. He inhaled deeply and caught a faint scent of roses he figured that this was her, "she is close," he said.

"Are you okay?" Sonja said while she looked around the badly beat up hall way, she glanced up at Gray. She felt bad, he did not look to good. Natsu's fire had burn him in several times and he now had a very large burn on his chest, she figured it would scare. She walked over to Gray and put her hand on his check. She adjusted him so he seemed more comfortable.

Natsu watched Sonja very closely, he was jealous of how gently she was touching Gray. She had a lot of care in her eyes. "He will be fine," Natsu told Sonja hoping she would stop touching him.

As soon as Lust seen that it was only Sonja and Natsu, she continued to sneak closer. She surprised them and placed her curse on them, she hid herself again inside of the wall.

Sonja felt something sharp pulse through her entire body. She knew exactly what happened. She looked around for Lust hoping to kill her before the curse took over. She didn't find Lust but her eyes landed on Natsu, he was staring intently at her.

Natsu felt something go through his body. He felt his body heat rise. He figured he was just hit but Lust's spell. His eyes went straight to Sonja.

"Natsu?" Sonja asked.

"Yes?" Natsu responded. He looked almost in pain. Natsu was holding back from the urges that now ran through his body.
