Hey guys sorry for the late update but that's how it is. I still need followers for the sins so if you got an idea send it in and maybe I'll use it. With that said let's get on with the story!

Sloth III

"DAMN! DISCORD GOT HIS ASS BEAT," screamed Pride in excitement.

It had been a couple minutes since the incident with Discord but Pride still wouldn't let it go. He seemed to like how the Spirit of Chaos was basically turned into blood and bone pudding because he fucked with the wrong mare.

Right now we were sitting in Fluttershy's cottage drinking tea. The rabbit that was Fluttershy's pet, Angel I think its name was, had tried to push me and the other Sin's out but quickly stopped when Greed threatened to eat him along with Gluttony.

While all of us were talking about how to deal with the new threat of the original Sin's coming back Greed and Spike were I guess having a brotherly chat in the corner. No one bothered them because the Sin's knew to leave Greed be while the Element's were just too scared to go anywhere near him without their specific bodyguard.

"So what do we do now guys? I mean if the Sin's spirits are in the bodies of a bunch of random ponies and other miscellaneous creatures how are we supposed to find them? And when we do then what," asked Lust.

"Yeah I was wondering that to. I mean how can we even tell who has the spirit of one of the Sin's in them," agreed Gluttony.

I put a hoof to my chin in thought. How did we find out? Hell on of them could be in this room right now and we would never know.

Then Twilight spoke up. "Wait, aren't you guys able to sense each-other? I mean that is one of the rumors about you guys isn't it? Your able to sense each-other's presence so you don't get in each-others way?"

Oh. My. Lady. Of. Sin.

I grabbed her face and gave a huge kiss before pulling back and screaming out, "Twilight your a fucking genius!"

I then saw her extremely shocked and red face that would put a tomato to shame and realized what I had just done. I had just kissed her out of the blue like an idiot! Alright calm done Sloth keep it cool. Just change the subject.

Giving a cough I say as calmly as I could while trying to get rid of my own blush, "yeah well what Twilight said is true. It is possible for us to sense another Sin. So if we ever do come across a one of the original Sin's we should be able to sense them. But we would have to try really hard since they would no doubt be trying to stay incognito. They aren't stupid and will probably try and attack when we are most vulnerable."

Everyone was nodding in agreement as I looked over at Greed and Spike to see if they were paying attention.

Spike looked deep in thought before nodding in what I assume was agreement.

Greed then turned to look at me and the look in his eyes told me all I needed to know. Looking at the other Sin's I know that they got the memo as the moved closer to their charges.

I saw Greed raise his claw as if about to strike and apparently Twilight saw it to and asked, "hey what is Greed-," but her words died in her throat as Greed burrowed his claw into Spike's chest.

Everything seemed to slow down before all of the girls even Fluttershy let out cries of pure rage and sorrow before trying to leap at Greed.

That was where we came in though as we all grabbed our charges and held them back while I also used my magic to hold Pinkie who didn't look as angry as she was confused at Greed's actions.

"LET ME GO! LET ME GO! HE KILLED SPIKE! HOW CAN YOU BE HELPING THAT MURDERER," screamed Twilight. It hurt me deeply that she felt like I was betraying her but if I let her go then things would go wrong.

Greed then began to speak in the language of Sin's and before all of our eyes Spike began to change.

"About time Greedy chose a follower," muttered Pride as we all agreed.

Spike began to grow until he was eleven feet tall, he grew a pair of black horns that curved backwards and looked extremely sharp, his bright green spines became sharper and became a forest green instead of the usual neon green. His light purple scales darkened till they were almost black while his tan underbelly stayed the same but now displayed a more defined musculature.

When the change was complete Greed pulled his claw out of Spikes chest and the wound instantly healed but left a scar. When spikes eyes opened all that it revealed was to blood red irises and a neon green slitted pupil.

Spike took a look at himself and said in a much deeper voice, "damn bro you were right. I do feel great!"

"But... you.. Spike.. dead... WHAT," screamed Twilight completely oblivious to what happened.

Even though this was probably horrifying to her it was hilarious to me and the other Sin's. Yeah we may have a dark sense of humor but hey we kill people for a living so its only natural to fine the darker sides of life somewhat funny.

Greed looked over at the Elements as if they were insane and said, "what? You think I would kill my own brother in cold blood? Even I am not that heartless or crazy!"

All of the Element's promptly passed save Pinky for she just walked up to him and gave a huge slap while screaming, "don't ever do that crazy shit again!"

Alright that was WAY out of character for her.

As I looked down at Twilight I muttered to myself, "thanks a lot Greed. You just put me in deep shit. It's not enough that I now have to have a talk with her about why I kissed her. Thanks a lot you ass."

time skip

After that little incident we all went our separate ways with our charges once they woke up and we promised to explain what happened later.

Twilight was silent the entire way back and I was sweating bullets knowing I wouldn't like what would happen when we got back to her house.

As soon as we got inside her house though she pointed at the couch and said, "seat. Now."

I didn't say a thing and did as she said.

She stared at me for a minute before saying one word. But that one word held so much meaning my heart nearly stopped, "why?"

Now most guys would be clueless to what she meant but fortunately and unfortunately I was not one of those guys. I know what she meant. She wondered why I had kissed her and if I knew her as well as I thought I did then she wouldn't stop until she got an answer.

I was thinking about lying and saying it was a spur of the moment thing but I knew that I couldn't do that to her. So instead I grew a set and got ready to tell her the truth. She deserved that much no matter what the outcome may be.

" *sigh* listen Twi. I'm not really an expert at this sort of thing so I'll just come out and say it. I love you. I have since we were foals and just never got to tell you. I figured you could do a whole lot better then a guy like me. Then when I saw you again after I became a Sin I wanted to tell you then but then I realized that you wouldn't want to be with a murderer like me. I'm sorry for not telling you sooner Twi, and I'm sorry that you had to find out this way. I understand if you don't want to see me again but I will still do my job of protecting you. I hope you can forgive me in the future."

It was silent for a minute. Then out of nowhere I felt Twilight's hoof connect to my face for a huge slap. Damn she hits harder than most stallions I've killed can punch!

Then she did something that really shocked me, she kissed me!

When she finally pulled away with a small smile on her face she laughed at my shocked expression.

I finally snapped out of my daze and said, "but. I thought you wouldn't want anything to do with me?"

She giggled a little bit and said, "silly I always knew you liked me."

Alright that through me for a loop. It also made me slightly angry.

"Then what the hell was with all of this shit then! You scared me half to death with thinking that you were angry at me!"

"I wanted to here you say you loved me. And I wanted to mess with you."

I think I just got trolled. Damnit.

"So now what happens sparkle butt?"

"Well I guess now you take me out on a date and we see where it goes from there. Night Sloth."

As she walked up the stairs to her bedroom I sat there with my mouth hanging open wondering if that really just happened.

Finally I sighed and said, "why can't life ever be simple."

Well Sloth finally grew a pair and confessed and Spike became Greed's follower. Hoped you liked the chapter. Review and/or Pm. Until then, Nicranger out.
