Sorry that this is so short, but nothing really happened in Gluttony besides the Cerberus battle and Hall of Gluttons parts. I won't be surprised if you don't like it, but this was the best I could pull for Gluttony without going exactly how the game does. Also, the person Lelouch will meet in Greed is said at the end of this chapter and this chapter also has a small breaking of the fourth wall in it.
Chapter 6: Indigestion
Lelouch kept on walking down the flesh-like path of Gluttony. The silence was beginning to annoy Lelouch so he decided to break it. "What condemns people to Gluttony?"
"Souls who were condemned here suffer for trying to constantly appease their indulgences. What these souls tried to satisfy in life, in death, they shall be denied for eternity." Diethard said, without even looking at Lelouch, trying to act like a guide while the camera on his staff was facing and recording Lelouch.
"What's their punishment, in a more physical sense?"
"See for yourself." Diethard said as he looked into the distance where the circle of Gluttony was.
Lelouch looked and saw souls suffering in some brown, liquid substance. "Dare I ask what that is?"
"Fecal matter. This makes up the mud and rain of this circle that the souls constantly have to wallow in."
"I'm definitely going to need a bath after all this is over." Lelouch said as he saw a pile of souls being eaten by a three-headed, worm-like creature. "What…is that?"
"Cerberus, the great worm. He is the guardian of this circle and if you want to get through this one to the next circle, you'll have to go through him."
"Very well then." Lelouch said when they reached the end of the path, with only a two-story drop from where he is to where Cerberus is.
Lelouch jumped down with ease and looked at the creature, that was gorging on a pile of souls, until the left, Lelouch's left, to be exact, noticed Lelouch and then all three heads looked at Lelouch and roared at him. All three heads and long necks, no other facial features besides a large mouth, and had smaller heads around each of the heads that looked the same as the main heads. They were placed on the left, right, upper-left, and upper-right sides of each head. 'So that technically makes it fifteen heads in all.' Lelouch thought as he pulled out his scythe to challenge Cerberus. Cerberus' right head then ate some souls, which the other two regurgitated at Lelouch. Lelouch was almost paralyzed at how gross this was, but dodged when the smell of the souls entered his nose and brought him to his senses. It's going to be hard to kill if that's all it will do.' He thought, but as luck would have it, Cerberus' left head leaned back and shot itself at Lelouch trying to eat him. Lelouch easily missed because of how well telegraphed that attack was, but he saw that the left head was moving back slowly. Lelouch didn't waste a second and quickly jumped onto the left head's neck. Lelouch stabbed his scythe into it, thinking that if he stabbed deep enough that the spinal cord would be cut, but the left head reacted to quickly for Lelouch to succeed and shook its neck violently. This caused Lelouch to get knocked into the air, but this didn't falter him and, to get a slower descent to the ground, stabbed his scythe into the left head's neck again, but the momentum of the fall continued and caused Lelouch to swing around the whole circumference of the neck, his scythe stabbed in the whole way. When Lelouch came to the ground, the left head and most of its neck became completely severed and fell into the muck next to it. What was left of the neck that was still attached to the beast quickly disintegrated into ashes.
'Well, that was convenient.' Lelouch thought as the other two heads got angry at the fact they lost one. The right head began to eat more souls and the middle head spat them out at a faster rate. Overall, they were seriously pressuring Lelouch. 'Damn, if I could just get one of them to get in close.' Lelouch thought and when the right head went to eat more souls, he saw his chance. Lelouch fired a cross attack at the pile of souls, causing it to explode. This greatly angered the right head which lunged forward just like the left head did. 'Perfect.' Lelouch thought as he dodged the lunge and jumped and grabbed onto the side of the neck. Lelouch turned his scythe into its sword form and stabbed the right heads neck. This made the right head shake violently and Lelouch did the same thing he did to the left head: After he got launched into the air, Lelouch stabbed his scythe into the neck as he fell, using the momentum to his advantage and swung around the neck, cutting it off from the rest of the body.
However, before Lelouch could land onto the ground to deal with the middle and final head, the middle head lunged forward and swallowed Lelouch whole.
Lelouch has died.
The End
…
"Yeah right!" Lelouch's shouted at the beings beyond the fourth wall.
Suddenly, a flash of holy light shot out of the middle head's mouth, which then got brighter as the middle head began to vibrate violently. Suddenly, the middle head exploded with Lelouch falling to the ground, cross in hand. "You can't kill the hero that easily." Lelouch said as the got up, walking down the path opened up to him with the death of Cerberus.
Soon, Lelouch found himself standing by a pool of fecal matter with souls suffering in it. "Please help me!" One of them called out.
"Why should I?" Lelouch asked coldly.
"I am Ciacco, I understand how sinful appeasing one's indulgences can be, but while I haven't understood why, I wish to repeant." Ciacco said.
'Ciacco, I believe that's what one would name a pig by in Italy, but regardless, he looks sincere, no skin off my back if I absolve him.' Lelouch thought. "Very well, Ciacco, I'll absolve you." Lelouch said shining his cross light on Ciacco.
"Oh thank you!" Ciacco said before vanishing into light.
Later, Lelouch found a strange looking mirror at the end of his path. "What is this?"
"This leads to the Hall of Gluttons." Diethard said, appearing next to Lelouch. "This place was made for those of royalty that commit the sin of gluttony."
Lelouch entered the mirror like portal and found himself in a lavish, white hall. The place looked pristine compared to the rest of Gluttony. Lelouch's attention then turned to the scene before him: Three immensely obese creatures, three of them, were devouring on the souls that were in a pile in between them. The creatures were humanoid and, as stated earlier, very obese. Their skin was pale white with stains of what were likely souls on them. Instead of hands, they had mouths at the end of their mildly long arms. The main head was quite big and had two rows of teeth, two on top and two on the bottom. On both sides of the head was a long, thin face that kept its mouth constantly open, but it didn't seem alive, just a…decoration, one could say.
"The punishment here is that the souls are constantly eaten, excreted, and eaten again by these creatures, the Gluttons." Diethard said, noting to make sure to remove the scene of the Gluttons' feast from the final product of his recording. "Like those women in the circle of Lust, Gluttons are their sin incarnate. As shown here."
The Gluttons then noticed Lelouch and started to wobble over to him, but Lelouch quickly fired cross bolts at them, but they did nothing except jiggle the Gluttons' fat. 'These guys are tough.' Lelouch thought. 'However… that doesn't mean their insides are also tough.' Lelouch turned his scythe into a spear and jumped over one of the Gluttons, who still had its mouth open. While above him, Lelouch stabbed his spear down the Glutton's throat, turned the spear back into a scythe, causing it to stab out of the Glutton's stomach, and as Lelouch fell, he pulled on the scythe, ripping it out of the Glutton, and when he did, it fell down and dissolved to ash.
However, one of the other Gluttons grabbed Lelouch, picked him up, and opened its mouth, clearly showing that it's trying to swallow him. "Oh no! I am NOT getting swallowed again!" Lelouch said kicking the Glutton in the head, causing it to let go of Lelouch and stagger back. Lelouch turned his scythe into a spear and stabbed the Glutton into the stomach. Lelouch saw the other Glutton charging at him and threw the Glutton he skewered at it, causing them both to tumble backwards. Lelouch took this moment and launched his spear at both of them, piercing both of their heads and thus destroying them. "At least I know for sure that I'm not sinful for gluttony, cause there's no way I could end up like them and yet be so thin when I was alive."
"Yes, well, not being gluttonous doesn't mean you're any less sinful." A voice said. Lelouch turned around and saw that it was Lucifer, or at least his projection made from black smoke.
"I know." Lelouch hissed. "But that doesn't mean I'm going to accept my belonging in Hell just yet. Not until I save C.C."
"How noble." Lucifer said mockingly. "You should be careful though. In the next circle, there will be someone from your old life that would go crazy at you saying that, but then again, I think you should. Things might get quite amusing."
"You bastard. How much longer do you plan to mess with me?" Lelouch said, his patience, clearly run out.
Lucifer grabbed Lelouch by the throat and lifted him up. "Mess with you? Oh, but my dear Lulu, I could do far worse to you than that; it's just that I enjoy watching you squirm. Here, I am king, here, I hold all the power. There's no one here that can help you. All you have is that scythe you stole, that cross blessed by my Father, and…whoops, that's it." Lucifer said laughing afterwards before disappearing and dropping Lelouch to the ground.
"You ok?" Diethard asked, sad at how he can't support Lelouch in his battles.
"Yeah." Lelouch said before getting up. "Lets get out of here."
Diethard nodded and led Lelouch to the exit which looked the same as the entrance to the Hall of Gluttons. After passing through the mirror-like portal, Lelouch saw a giant structure in the distance with gears turning and screams echoing.
"What circle is this, Industrialism?" Lelouch asked, half-jokingly.
"No, this is the fourth circle, Greed." Diethard said as they walked towards the giant death machine in the distance.
Meanwhile
"Soon my dear, our wedding shall be announced to all of Hell." Lucifer said to C.C., who was still bound at her hands and feet.
"I'd sooner marry Mao." C.C. retorted.
"Oh yes, Mao. Interesting one, that one. Your savior should be confronting him any moment now and don't think he's just a regular soul, he seemed quite anxious to fight when he heard that Lelouch would be stopping by his circle. He wanted to kill him so badly that I couldn't do anything, but help him accomplish that." Lucifer said and then smiled in such an evil way that only the Devil, aka Lucifer, could pull off.
Yes, Mao is who Lelouch faces and in all truth, Mao truly freaks me out, so don't expect him to be absolved. Also I'm still accepting requests for potential bosses for Anger and Heresy if you have any, but they can't be Lelouch's parents. Also, I'm gonna do a poll real soon to see if I should make a sequel for this. Taking place in Purgatory. Not sure how I should do it, so don't expect it right after this story ends if enough of you vote yes.
