" I am a shadow, the true self!" -All Shadows, July 10, 2008
Chapter Synopsis: Lola faces off against her insecurities, Binding Of Isaac style
A familiar voice is heard.
"This is the story of a woman named Lola. You see, Lola here was a bit of an impudent young tyke in her youth. But in the 30 years that have passed, she had become a mother, and was raising 2 kids. She wanted to be a better person for them, and so, she went to a strange hospital-like building, where she met an enigmatic young woman, who is only known as the Doan-pleganger. She hooked up our heroine to what she called the BOI Machine, to help her deal with her personal problems, for you see, Lola here has NPD, and people who have this disorder usually have some insecurities. And now, we resume our story with The Binding of Lola."
Lola wakes up in a room, not unlike the room she and Lana once shared. Every detail is correct. From the poster that said "Princesses Rule!", to her teatime set, her dolls are in order, her twin size bed outfitted for a queen is displayed proudly, and her narcissistic pictures from beauty pageants past are outside. She was there for about an hour and 15 minutes while IRL Lola was answering the long questionnaire. She looks in a mirror and sees that she looks like she's 6-years-old again. This must be the avatar that she was talking about. Well, the door isn't locked anymore so I guess it's time for her to venture out.
Lola moves down and enters a room that looks like the Depths II. In it are pedestals for a few items that Lola will need throughout her mental trials and tribulations. She picks them up.

There are 2 items that particularly caught her eye. The first one is a sleek sky-blue item. She picks it up.
Tear Gun
To defend yourself with
When she test-fires it, multicolored discharges consisting of blue, red and green electricity fire out of it. They discharge in a pattern of concentrically circular rings.
"Huh? I thought it would fire water, not electricity."
Glancing at the second item, it is a simple ornate crown. It gives off a cyan hue.
"Ooh." Lola said with a reverential awe "Such a dazzlingly beautiful crown. I have to try it on!"
She picks up the crown, which is also the last item in the room.
Crown of Light
The untainted gain power
She figures it's time to enter the next door. It's a pallor grey frame with a skull on top. Such a foreboding door. Lola knows that this is going to be bad for her, and yet, she must continue.
Lola steps into the door. A Blondish-Yellow essence flows out of her. And there in the center of the room is a figure that resembles Lola but is coated in a whitish matter. It looks almost as if the humanoid creature is…melting? The white Lola turns to face the original, and in a raspy voice it says:
"If it isn't Lola. Welcome to the mindscape. As I'm sure you're aware, humans can use 100% of their brain. Well, I am the manifestation of 90% of yours. I am going to make sure I colonize all 100% of your brain and turn you over to the dark side! You won't retake your mind, I will assure you that."
It notices the Blond Yellow essence. It gazes at it.
"Oh, so that's one of your insecurities? Maybe it's time to test you." It says as it breaks a part of itself off.
"I'll see you at the end, Lola. If you can even make it that far. Au revoir, mon rival!" It says as it teleports away, but not before spraying Lola with some sort of violet liquid. Lola reads the bottle it dropped.
"Eau de Attraction?"
Meanwhile the blob of itself absorbs the Blond Yellow essence and shifts into a familiar figure, though this construct of Lola's mind is so big that we can only see its legs. In a booming voice, it shouts:
"LOLA!"
She recognizes that voice…it's
…
…
…
Rita?!
It seems that there's no way around this. Lola tries to dodge the giantess' stomps. The boss doors start sending gapers to attack her.
"Mom! Please, stop! I don't want to hurt you!" Lola shouted at her, to no avail
The gapers close in on her, while Rita's foot gets ready to crush her! Just when it looks like Lola will give up, a voice shouts:
"Remember, that's not your real mom! It's just a manifestation of your insecurity!"
Upon hearing this, Lola snaps out of it and starts to fight. She kills the gapers surrounding her and just narrowly dodges the construct's stomp! Lola counters by firing at the leg of the fake! Eventually, Lola manages to kill it. The Blond Yellow essence returns to Lola and the door to the next room opens. She enters the door and is in a fleshy colored room, decorated with viscera! Is this the Womb?
This time, a Dark Blue essence flies into the heart in the center of the room. It starts pumping vigorously, during which 2 fetuses are emerging. One of them has what looks like a crown formed out of the heart's myocardium, while the second one has what looks like a cap formed out of the heart's pericardium. Surprisingly, they can talk. The coronated one speaks.
"You. You pale in comparison to the filthy one."
The capped one interjects.
"Please, stop sis…"
"Not now, I'm scolding." It says to its twin "Now where was I…." It glances at Lola "Ah yes, you. You think you're so clean? Ha, you're even filthier than she was. Inside…I can see it, an empty void where your heart should be. Why don't you just admit it to yourself, you've been holding her back. Your twin is kinder, smarter and way more beautiful than you can ever be!"
"Stop that, you're just going to make her mad!" The capped one pleaded
"I want her to get mad!" The coronated one responded, as it focuses on Lola. "Come on, bitch! Do it already and kill yourself! You'll make the world a better place! Or better yet…
"What are you doing…" The capped one cautiously asked
"Let me do it for you!"
"Go ahead, I won't help you." The capped one said to its brethren
"Fine, I don't need you!"
Lola aims her weapon at the crowned fetus. She focuses fire on it.
"Pathetic! My turn!"
The heart drops down and sends down a wave of blood shots. Which Lola tries to dodge, but gets hit, disabling her shield.
"Lola, this is the end of you!" It continues to boast
Lola ignores the braggart and continues to electrocute the little twat.
"Grr. Time to die, you little brat!" It continues
The heart ejects 8 brimstone lasers, the diagonals reach the span of the room while the cardinal directional lasers reach half of the room. The lasers start rotating in a circular fashion. Unfortunately, Lola gets hit by one of the lasers. She manages to take advantage of the temporary invincibility frames and kill the coronated fetus. But oddly, the heart is still active!
The heart slows its heartbeat to 4 beats per minute. But the capped fetus is still there, hugging the heart tightly. She listens closely and hears crying. It's shown shivering…Lola feels terrible she has to do it, but in order to get further, she has to finish off the boss.
"I'm sorry."
Lola begins attacking the second fetus until it goes down. Its last words were:
"Mom? It's so cold…but…I guess it's time for me to rejoin her, right? Lola…I'll be with you soon."
The heart explodes in a flurry of gore as the Dark Blue essence returns to Lola. Lola feels like the scum of the Earth. After all, not only did she commit duofeticide, she also committed coricide! A heavenly light shone on the spot where the heart once was. Lola heads toward the light, tears in her eyes, and ascends to the Cathedral.
Upon entering the Cathedral, she meets up with Lana's ghost.
"Thank you." It said "I know you feel bad, but you did the right thing. Now, the third trial is at hand, step forward when you're ready…"
Her soul dissipates in to thin air. Lola steps forward and gets ready for the third trial. A Pink essence exits her, and enters the third boss, which is…herself?! It's in a fetal position, crying. Miraculously, her tiara is still atop her head. Lola begins to attack and sees that the boss counters her attacks. She managed to take 2 hits during this, disabling her shield and losing her first soul heart!
She manages to take down the first phase of herself with relative ease.
In the second phase, the boss now summons angelic baby enemies to help deal damage, which Lola dispatches of easily! Though, she does lose a soul heart during this phase, her Celtic Cross activated, which she takes advantage of in the third phase!
In the third and last phase, Lola heads to the upper left corner as the boss starts summoning beams of light to strike her down. The shield wore off during the time the attack was executed, but Lola moves out of the safe spot to periodically damage the boss. All throughout the fight, an ominous Latin song booms:
Deus x7
Quod puella, x7 (alternate with below)
Sectator Satanas x7 (alternate with above)
Quod rosea puella, quod vehementi unum
O, Deus!
Non let eam lucror
Absolvo eam a peccatum
O, Deus!
Vos oportet dimiserunt eam exsisto liber
Vos oportet terminus eam miseriae!
Eventually, Lola deals enough damage so that the boss doesn't die, but rather ascends! She drops the Pink essence, which Lola reclaims. A massive stone staircase heads downward from the Cathedral. Lola walks down the stairs. Its steps being 666 by 616. After a long while, 410,256 steps to be exact, Lola manages to enter Sheol, the Dark Lord's domain! A Purple essence exits Lola and emits a bright flash of light, transporting her into the throne room within Sheol. On the throne, Lola is sitting in a slouching position.
"Well, you made it here, me. Congratulations, but now it's time for pain. Come out, my servant!"
A very ugly looking creature emerged from the shadows. It looks like it has black angelic wings, with 2 horns protruding from its head. It also has an inverted cross on its forehead. It looks at Lola with its blood red eyes.
"Go, attack her!"
The creature tries to attack Lola, but Lola evades it and easily destroys it.
"Every time. Well, let's skip to the main event."
The Lola on the throne explodes violently, revealing the boss' true form, Satan! Coated entirely in black, he has red eyes and an inverted cross on his forehead just like The Fallen. But unlike him, Satan has a goat head and a pale brown cloth, which he now sheds as he goes into his first phase, revealing he's extremely buff!
Lola immediately responds by shooting at him, but he counters by coughing up blood, which Lola gets hit by, disabling her shield. Lola stands in front of him and focuses her fire on him. Satan takes notice and charges a brimstone laser, but Lola manages to drive him back and send him into his second phase!
In his second phase, Satan grows so massive that Lola can only see his legs. He tries to stomp on her with his hooves! He also starts to summon kamikaze leeches to attack her. Lola takes out the leeches while dodging and countering his stomps by shooting his hoof. Lola takes another full soul heart of damage, but she manages to take down Satan's legs. A platform reacts to her presence in the room and lights a tiara flare to mark itself. She steps on it and it starts moving. Eventually, the platform breaks off and levitates. It starts moving to a red platform far off in the distance, but before she can get to it. Satan's head emerges from the shadows and starts to send a volley of projectiles to shoot her down!
Lola manages to dodge the barrage of red tears, grey tears, brimstone lasers, flame breath and razor blades as she makes it to the red platform. She sees a pentagram in the middle of the arena. She pauses for a brief respite to catch her breath, and then steps on the pentagram, which fills with blood and slots itself in. A booming, demonic voice shouts:
"Alol!"
Suddenly, Satan's face and hands reveal itself and starts to attack Lola. He sends out a wave of 4 blood shots fast, which Lola dodges and counters by attacking his hands. She manages to disable them both and it allows her to focus fire on the face! After dealing enough damage, he retreats into the background as a big black book with a black pentagram falls. His hands grab it and pull it into the background. He starts to speak in the old tongue.
"Quod unum in quod alba equus. Has oblivionis habet rediit ad lucror iterum magis! Lucrandum adversus vos erit eius quondam coronatam factum!" -Exitium Unum
Suddenly a blue sigil appears on the floor. Lola takes a look at the insignia for it and is horrified at what she saw. The image displayed shows Lola standing over Lana, a bow in her hand. The figure that resembles Lana looks like it was pelted with arrows. A pool of blue is under its body.
"Now, arise! Forgotten harbinger!"
The sigil lights up and a pale blindfolded creature is summoned from it. He is riding a white hobby horse. It looks as if he's yelling something like "Hey, you damn kids get off of my lawn!"
Lola begins to fight the forgotten one. He starts by summoning copies of himself and charges at her! She dodges and counters, as he begins firing a cross made of homing shots. Lola manages to outrun them and shoot back. The horseman tries to summon beams of light to strike her down. They miss as Lola finishes off the pallor rider!
"Orior ex quod sol praeparandum terra, usibus la potentia ex quod sol ad adolebitque auferetur omnis spes apud quidam nimius siccitas! Esurierit enim charitas." -Exitium Duo
"Unum de carne et sanguis. Quod equitem, indutus a lorica de ruber. Est luravit ad suus gladio. Eius pugnator spiritus voluntas secare vos descendit!" -Exitium Tres
"Vos scio eum. Quod sceletus vestitus apud a nigrum vestimentum. Apud eius falx, euis occidere omnis!"-Exitium Quattour
The sigils light up, summoning Famine, War and Death, the remaining members of the 4 harbingers. Though, War looks bigger than normal, for some reason. Lola begins to fight off the 3 horsemen.
"I should worry about copyright, but I'm Satan, so screw it. I'm playing a fitting song for this battle."
War by The Temptations starts to play and override Satan's theme.
Lola attacks Famine first, and takes him down in about 6 shots, he got killed so fast, he didn't even get to separate his head to attack her! Next, she moves on to Death, who attacks by throwing scythes! Lola tries to dodge, but gets hit anyway because Death's scythes are homing! The caveat is that Lola used the invincibility frames to knock Death off of his horse.
In the meantime, War charges at her, but Lola effortlessly dodges and counter fires. By sheer luck, she managed to destroy Death's mount! As Lola destroys War's mount, Death got caught in the crossfire and was killed. War charges at her, but Lola runs circles around him, literally, until he tires out, and Lola can use this opening to deal damage. She takes down the last horseman as Satan ends the song.
"Quod princeps de prenuntiae, erat creatum per humani generis progressus. Perambulat quod terra, relinquo a trahentium ex mortem in eius excito! Habet distenti sunt sursum a altiorem corporis numerare quam omnis de alii!" -Exitium Quinque
The fifth and final sigil appears. The insignia displayed shows smog.
"Now, arise! Pestilence, make her resolve decay away!"
The final sigil lights up and summons the fifth harbinger. It looks to be a rotting corpse, coated in sickly, decayed green skin. Lola can see that the right side of its head has completely rotted away, exposing a part of its skull.
Lola stays away from him and fires. Pestilence takes enough damage that he becomes headless and starts firing explosive shots. Lola evades them and finishes off Pestilence.
"Grr. Try these on for size!" Satan yelled at her
"Sic, vos cogitare vos sunt eiusmodi calidum supellectilem?! Fortasse vos oportet habet a gustum de vester agnosco medicinae! Post omnis, sunt vos non quod opitmus membrum de quod Loud House?! Haec erit vester labes!" Exitium Sex
A brilliant flash of light illuminates the field. It appears Satan has summoned his disciple, Lola! She irradiates a dazzling gleam around her.
"Facere fatigo, Lols. Ego adduxistis a pauci amicis secus apud mihi." She said as two very familiar people step out of the shadows "Haec est Edmunster Mcmillet et Delorean Tinsel."
"Now, Ultra Pride, show our guest how she really acts!"
"Sic, dominus."
The Ultra Prides begin to attack Lola, with Edmunster firing triple explosive shots, Delorean firing single blood shots, and Lola firing a continuous stream of blood shots. Lola slips by the projectiles and easily takes out Delorean and Edmunster.
"Mcmillen down! Mcmillen down!" Satan shouts from the background
Lola begins to focus on the true Ultra Pride. It was a difficult battle, as Lola had to dodge many Trisagion and Crack the Sky beams, especially since Ultra Pride had marked Lola and was able to focus fire on her. She got hit once, bringing her life counter down to 9 hearts, but she eventually took down the first Ultra Sin!
"Satanas' geminos de exitium. Quod maxime infamis membra de Loud House! Ea est intelligentes ad malus, faciendo unethical et fornicatoribus experimenta indu euis sua familia! Quod est a pyromaniac, et quod optimus pars? Est omnis vester culpam eium convertit ad malum!" -Extitum Septem
Two more Ultra Sins get summoned.
The left one is wearing a charred patchwork-like mask, as well as a burnt orange shirt and blue jeans coated with ash. He starts to speak.
"Scis, Lola. Ego oportet gratas tibi. Agimus ad vos, Ego scio quails dolor est. Omnis quod dolor vos habet vulneribus disperierant en mihi super quod annorum, illud fecit mihi intellego, ego diligitis dolor. Obsecro nocere mihi, mea regina!"
The right one is wearing clothes of the cardinals, but is wearing a purple hollow mask. However, Lola can still see her auburn hair, green shirt, brown baggy pants and old brown loafers. For some reason, Lola feels an immense sense of dread when near her. Surprisingly, she doesn't speak in Latin like her brethren. But it doesn't sound like a "language" either…

"Ultra Wrath, Ultra Envy! Make her taste true strength, unleashed!"
"Sic, dominus."
"Go ahead and try, the kid inside will set you free!" Ultra Envy taunted
Lola tries to electrocute her, but the discharge got absorbed!
"That won't work!"
Ultra Envy takes out a gun, holds it in front of her head, and shoots 3 times. The bullets deflect off of her mask. She throws the gun into the abyss below.
"See, projectiles don't work on me!"
"Fine, maybe THIS will work on you!"
Lola lays down a bomb and runs away.
"Does she really think that will…?"
While Ultra Envy was boasting, Ultra Wrath walks over to the bomb and gets blown up. He doesn't take damage, but he does get charmed!
"Ahh, mea regina, Ego voluntas pugna enim vos!"
Ultra Wrath starts attacking Ultra Envy!
"What are you doing you bloodthirsty idiot?! I'm on your side!"
"Ego pugnare enim fortissimum latus!"
"Then rejoin us!"
"Ego erat non loquitur fere vos!"
Ultra Envy retaliates by firing fear shots at him!
"Ahh, effugium!" He says as he runs away from the ultimate evil
Lola begins to fire on Ultra Envy, who takes notice and counter fires! Lola gets hit and is inflicted by fear! She flees from Ultra Envy. Ultra Wrath regains his senses and snaps out of his charmed effect!
Lola snaps out of her fear effect and dodges the minefield that Ultra Wrath is laying and continues firing on Ultra Envy! At half health, she swaps weapons!
"Cerebrum de Bob?! Vos voluntas occidere tu ipse!" Ultra Wrath shouted at her
Lola is forced to play a dangerous game of cat and mouse, avoiding Ultra Wrath's bombs and Ultra Envy's explosive projectile. After a long battle of attrition, Lola takes down Ultra Envy. After that, she focuses on Ultra Wrath, who's significantly easier than his partner. Though Lola did get careless and lost another soul heart, bringing her down to 8, she did manage to defeat him.
"Grr. Annoying brat! Die already!" Satan boomed
"Quod quadruplex de chao voluntas dilacerant quod mundum seorsum! Tempus a cuso vester exitium apud diligitis. Ego affirm vos, vester fame erit loco a quis!" -Exitium Octo
The remaining Ultra Sins get summoned.
In the top-middle, is a vaguely humanoid form that resembles Lola's sister, Luna. She kept her brown hair, paperclip earrings, and purple outfit. The only difference is that her purple outfit now has streaks of green on it. She summons a purple guitar with green highlights on it.
In the bottom right is a creature that looks like Lynn Jr. The "1" on her jersey has become a trident. She licks her lips upon seeing Lola. She maneuvers on the icy-cold bedrock all spider-like. She even excretes a spindly, sticky, adhesive substance from her fingers. It says "ego consumo omnis" to her.
If all the sins look disfigured in some way, what would the last sin look like? Lola imagines a hideously deformed creature with every type of STD known to humankind, a figure with some type of venereal disease, or at the very least, a slutty looking humanoid.
Lola looks to the bottom left and sees…
…
…
…
Probably the most "normal" of the Ultra Sins.
The sin looks like a prismatic form of Lola's sister, Leni. Her body is made up of a pink hard-light and it seems that there's nothing that outwardly makes her sinful. She seems to be unnerved by the consumer.
"Ultra Gluttony, Ultra Sloth, Ultra Lust, it's your turn!"
Ultra Gluttony tries to lunge at Lola!
"Ego miror quid vos gustum ad modum. Fortasse a parfait?"
Ultra Lust runs away from Ultra Gluttony as fast as possible. In the blink of an eye, she teleports to the other side of the arena.
Ultra Gluttony charges a brimstone laser, as Lola begins to attack her. She tries to evade Ultra Gluttony's utterly MASSIVE attack, by evading in a diagonal direction. The attack fires, unleashing a giant laser in all 4 cardinal directions! Lola keeps focusing on Ultra Gluttony until she eventually managed to kill her.
"Ultra Sloth, make her count the stars!"
Ultra Sloth summons a platform, which she rides alongside the outskirts of the arena. She starts shredding on her guitar, producing a salvo of musical note shaped projectiles to bombard the arena with.
No matter how hard she tries, Lola's electric shots will always fade away before getting to Ultra Sloth. That means there's only one target left. Lola tries to lock eyes with Ultra Lust, but she can't find her!
"I just want to make everyone happy!"
Wait, that voice! Lola recognizes that voice from somewhere once before…
"In a way, yes. I'm the light of your mind."
"So, you're in my brain? Cool!"
"Yes, but he's also here."
"Who?"
"Delirium, the darkness of your mind."
"What does it all mean?"
"It will come to fruition in due time, my dear Lola."
Could the time be…now?
Lola calls out to that person.
"Leni!"
For some reason, Ultra Lust reacts to that name and stops running away.
"Huh. Did someone call my name?"
Lola tries to approach her.
"Dang it, this is a trick to get me to stop running, isn't it?"
"What, no! Isn't your name Lust?"
"Actually, it's Libidine, the Latin word for lust."
"Then why did you stop when I said my sister's name? Also, isn't your partner supposed to be attacking me?"
"Oh, I want to hear this, so your safe until she's done explaining." Ultra Sloth said from afar
"To answer your question, well isn't "Leni" your sister's name?"
"Yes, didn't I just tell you that?"
"You did. You see, our true forms are wisps of concentrated sin essence. And we take the form of the person that is closely associated with our assigned person's sins. It is called the Sin Matrix, and it is how everyone on Earth has the same 7 sins."
"Because we have existed since time immemorial, we can speak every language. Though most of the sins are old-fashioned and speak in the old tongue, Latin. I prefer English or the new tongue, Italian."
"Now, there is a sin that is most closely associated with a certain person, called a Patron Sin, and it just so happens that I'm yours. We usually offer advice to our person, but it's up to them to follow through with it."
"But aren't the Seven Deadly Sins evil?"
Ultra Lust scoffs and seems somewhat offended at this claim.
"Maybe if you're not human, then you can get rid of us. But maybe I can change your mind. You see, us sins are on a spectrum. You need to have a balance to lead a healthy lifestyle. Too little, and you die. However, too much, and your life will spiral out of control."
Ultra Lust shows Lola a slideshow.
"This is what happens when there is no sin for a person."
The person in the slideshow is shown sulking.
"Why even bother? Everything I make is trash!"
He is shown with a massive amount of designs for some amazing prototypes.
"No Pride."
Next scene shows Viacom.
"Well, it has been 50 years, but we have monopolized children's entertainment! Those kids will watch any mindless drivel we put on air!"
The executives laugh evilly.
"Can anyone break the stagnation and degradation of all kid's entertainment?! Not without Envy, you can't."
Next scene shows a classic.
"Come on, kid! Give us your money!"
The kid has an evil glare, scene cuts to a news broadcast.
"We are here covering the worst school mass shooting in history. The assailant has brought 2 AR15's, 2 M16's, 2 Uzis, 2 AK47's, and a massive amount of ammunition."
"Poor kid never stood a chance. Without Wrath's ability, he exploded in a fury! What's the ability? Catharsis, of course."
Next scene, it shows a person with bloodshot eyes, rocking back and forth in paranoia.
"You probably saw this one coming, no Sloth means no sleep, which means sleep deprivation and death."
Next scene, a homeless guy is shown on the road.
"Ok admittedly, this one is a bit egregious, but he has forgone EVERYTHING material, for fear that taking ANYTHING would be considered greedy. No food, no water, no clothes, and soon, no life."
Next scene shows a skeleton.
"Yep, starved to death. Without Gluttony, there's no hunger pangs to remind you to do that thing you need to do to not die. So, you can accidently starve to death."
Ultra Lust continues with her explanation.
"While on the subject of Gluttony, I don't care much for her, but she's locked in an eternal battle with the harbinger Famine. Those two hate each other! Famine is winning, by the way. Let me ask you, do you know why people fast?"
"Because of religion?"
"Well, yes. But what the texts don't tell you is that it is an offering to Famine. It's basically saying "I don't need this food, you can take it." Those humans are playing a dangerous game with him. Just wait until Famine decides to take drinks, too. Luckily, he's appeased at you starving yourselves, so he won't take all of your sustenance…for now."
Last scene, it shows a guy.
"Oh, it seems normal now, but without Lust, there's no love, no love equals no sex, no sex equals no children, no children equals the death of an entire bloodline once our favorite harbinger approaches!"
The slideshow ends.
"I understand now."
"Good, it seems humanity isn't completely lost yet. But there's a more pressing issue."
"Delirium?"
"Yes, Lola. Right now, he has about 41% of your mind still under his control. I want to help you get through this sector of your brain."
"So, does that mean…?"
"Yes, it does, Lola. I'm going to help you."
Ultra Lust hugs Lola. She feels warm to the touch.
Satan claps in the background.
"Ha, ha, ha. So precious that it almost made me cry." He sneered "Libidine, are you really going to betray me?"
"Yes!"
"You've always been a spoiled little sin, but maybe I should unleash my secret weapon."
"Can you hurry up? This noose chafes!"
"Alright, come on down, super sin!"
Satan cuts the noose. Allowing the final sin to land on the bedrock floor. It takes on the form of Lola's eldest sister, Lori. Instead of her usual cyan tank top, this sin is wearing a cyan V-neck, which seems to be both exposing her cleavage and accentuating her breasts. A dark blue "V" is emblazoned on it. She is also wearing very short khaki shorts that accent her labia. It also has a cellphone with a cyan case surrounding it. Finally, her noose morphs into a beige scarf. It hums a familiar tune, which Ultra Lust recognizes.
"Ah, Ecstasy of Gold by Ennio Morricone. Seems fitting when fighting against Ultra Greed, but aren't you dressed a little bit differently to be humming that?"
"Oh, you're just jealous that I, Ultra Greed, look even sexier than you, the one who's supposed to look sexy, right Libidine?"
"Well, it seems to me that someone somewhere thinks that you're a slut, Cupiditas."
"Isn't it ironic that my name has the word "cupid" in it? The messenger of love…it seems too perfect to me. Since according to that twerp there, I'm the only one of her sisters to be in a relationship!" Ultra Greed said, not hearing a word Ultra Lust said
"Ultra Sloth, how about a warm up performance for our "guest" here?"
"Vos surrexit illud, bulla homine!"
She looks at me…
"You might have heard this one before."
She starts belting out a spooktacular tune.
Eternal darkness unto Sheol
For those eager to pay death's toll
You don't want to end up dead
You used to be the one to deride
Now it's time to kill your drive
They just want some company
Perhaps it's time to flee
Every room, on every floor
To spill your blood evermore
Sorry sis, you'll get nixed
You'll get nixed
With thrills and chills
As you rack up kills
You'd better leave now
I can hear them growl
Nixed, nixed, nixed
You'll get nixed
Be aware of Hosts and Vises
Else you'll wind up with the fishes
You'll never escape
Want me to write your eulogy
You don't know how happy that makes me
Where's your bravado now?
Spilling guts across the floor
Clean up on aisle 4
Hurry Lols, it's almost noon
Sorry sis, you'll get nixed
You'll get nixed
With thrills and chills
As you rack up kills
You'd better leave now
I can hear them growl
Nixed, nixed, nixed
You'll get nixed
You'll get… nixed
Lola can't help but applaud the amazing song. Even if Ultra Sloth is her enemy, she can lay down amazing tracks just like Luna can.
"Aww, it looks like I attracted a fan. Well I'm glad you love my music…
…
…
…
"Because it's the last thing you're ever going to hear."
Lola looks at Ultra Sloth and sees a massive array of music notes. While we were all were listening to the awesome music, Ultra Sloth was busy forming an attack! The notes form an outline of Hank and Hawk, or as Lola knows them, those two big stinkers that ruined Halloween for the entire Loud family that one time. Ultra Sloth even manages to synthesize their big, dumb laughter!
Note Hank and Hawk try to do a football tackle on her, which Lola tries to dodge, but there are so many notes that it was inevitable she'd get hit.
("Hmm, Lola can't deal with attacks like those while fighting off Ultra Greed. There's only one thing to do…")
"I challenge you to a music duel!" Ultra Lust yelled to Ultra Sloth
"Really? You're not exactly the musical type. But ok, I can humor you, sis."
Ultra Lust summons a platform and steps on it to head into the background. She summons a guitar and starts to strum a soft rock ballad. Ultra Sloth mocks her.
"Seriously, you think playing "Morituros" will beat me? Here's some real music!"
Ultra Sloth begins shredding a frenetic, fast paced heavy metal instrumental! The force of the soundwave knocks Ultra Lust back a few feet, but she manages to recover. She notices that white colored notes are heading toward Lola! In desperation, she mimics the instrumental that Ultra Sloth is playing and manages to destroy the oncoming projectiles!
"Perhaps you're better than I gave you credit for, what song are you playing, because it doesn't sound like mine."
"It's… a remix! I call it "Menicide"!"
"Mind Killer, huh? How fitting. But I won't be beaten by your little remix!"
Ultra Sloth plays harder, eventually overpowering Ultra Lust, and once again knocking her away!
("Grr…no matter what I do she'll counter me by playing something from her playlist! Maybe…maybe it's time to cover a track she can't. The song is so epic that it might kill me, but there's no choice! I have to play that song if it's the only chance we have to beat her!")
"Give up and recognize me as the better musician, sister?"
"No, I have a track I know you can't cover!"
Ultra Lust starts strumming a soft rock instrumental.
"Huh? That song…I feel like I've heard it before…"
Ultra Sloth realizes what song she's playing and starts to panic.
"Are you seriously playing THAT song?! If you play any of the 29 forbidden songs, you'll die. I know because I tried playing the final boss theme and I literally died playing it, so please, don't play it!"
Ultra Lust continues to play, and now, she starts to sing.
It's time to purge your dark thoughts
Wash away those ink blots
Make peace with your sins
And find the strength within!
Listen to me
I am not
Your enemy
My gift, my song
Just follow along
You know you aren't wrong
You are so close
I can see the repose
With this song's dose
You will have arose
You are the one who knows
The time to fight is nigh
Now it is time to do or die
But with my help you will fly
Here's a gift to remember me by
Just try…
I know I'm not strong
Just your tag-along
But with me by your side
You'll finish this crazy ride
[Instrumental]
The Fourth trial's end
Will you upend
And win
Or be overtaken by sin?
With Greed, Sloth and Lust
I haven't
Broken your trust
Proceed, you must
Even though
The fights are intense
You must reclaim
Your fourth essence
Is it your fate
To continue to manipulate?
We hope it abates
You'll continue your streak
Mental punishment to mete
Survive, and rejoin your family
Create everlasting memories
It's the end, so I urge
Press on!
You're on the verge
Ad Victoria!
Ultra Sloth is absolutely shocked! Nothing has happened to Ultra Lust during the entire time she's playing the song, and she knows this song can kill those unworthy to play its melody, as she's tried it before. Does that mean…Ultra Lust is worthy to play it?
"A…A…Antibirth?! Impossible!"
Upon looking at Lola, she has an orange aura around her with a red, an orange and a cyan heart orbiting around her as she fights Ultra Greed!
"This power? Libidine, what did you do?"
"Motivate you with a rocking song!" She replies happily "Beat that, Ultra Sloth."
"I will."
Ultra Sloth starts playing an ominous and menacing theme.
It is time for her to die
Come on now, do not cry
Her plan to turn you, so sly
It won't fly!
How pathetic, she can't read
This song will make her ears bleed
This warning, you should heed
She's done evil deeds!
Listen to me!
She'll want more!
On every floor
Destruction in her wake
From her, no escape!
Please, I don't want to hurt you, Lust
But if I have to, I must
Stop your rebellion
And leave that little hellion
I will remove that thorn
Even if it will bring your scorn
I'm so torn…
[Instrumental]
It is our divine right
To continue the fight
It is our destiny
And we can't flee
Exterminate that pest
Cause widespread unrest
This action is the best
[Instrumental]
What is wrong with you, Lust?
How can I earn your trust?
No need to cause a fuss
Your cause is a bust
[Mini-instrumental]
Come on, use your head
And help end the bloodshed
Stop being her shield
And we'll force her to yield
Emotions inundated
From a fight that's fated
No way to abate it
My blood's coagulated…
Cracks start to emerge on Ultra Sloth's entire body! They ooze a purplish fluid…could this be her blood?
"Ultra Sloth, stop playing, or else you will die!" Ultra Lust shouts out
Stop your ceaseless prattle
As she slaughters neurons like cattle
Let us finish this battle
Confuse her and make her addle
Please, come about
Don't make me clout
You, as you are
The best of us
Cede your bout with me
Let Lola either die or flee
And we can finally be happy!
Ultra Sloth charges at Lola, firing a barrage of white, grey and silver notes.
"LOLA!"
Lola just narrowly dodges Ultra Sloth's kamikaze attack on her! Ultra Sloth didn't survive the attack, however. That only leaves one big sin left, Ultra Greed! Ultra Lust rejoins the fight on the arena.
"So, it's up to me, as I'm literally the only one left. Well, it wouldn't be a Greed fight without money, and I literally have an infinite supply so…"
Ultra Greed takes out a box with a slot in it.
Lola scoffs at this "So?"
Ultra Lust knows what that item is and reacts with fear.
"Lola, that item is called Magic Fingers. It deals damage by sacrificing a coin to use it."
"And?"
"Ultra Greed has infinite coins."
Lola realizes they might be screwed.
"We have to destroy it."
Ultra Lust tries to get close enough to destroy it while Lola tries to attack her.
"It's time for a little demonstration." Ultra Greed says as she puts in a coin and presses a button. The item sends out a damaging shockwave and knocks Ultra Lust and Lola away. But, in doing so, Lola's Celtic Cross activates, which Lola takes advantage of by unleashing a massive amount of damage on her, and making her go into her bronze form and the second phase of this boss. While that was happening, Ultra Lust managed to destroy the Magic Fingers!
Lola and Ultra Lust use a few combination attacks to force Ultra Greed into her silver form and her third phase. Ultra Greed responds by showering the battlefield with silver shrapnel. Ultra Lust protects herself and Lola with the Trinity Shield, a useful item.
They wear her down into her fourth phase, the golden form. Upon this phase taking more than 50% of her health, she morphs into a semisolid amorphous blob of gold.
"Don't let that blob touch you! You'll die a very painful death if she catches you!"
"I won't."
Both of them evade the pool of gold until it reforms into Ultra Greed. They continue to attack until she's forced into her fifth and final phase, the platinum form!
Ultra Greed uses her cellphone and shoots out an array of blue "V"'s to damage them. Both of them dodged the attack, but when Ultra Lust tries to attack, Ultra Greed intercepts her with another item.
"What the…?! I can't move!"
"That's right, you can't!"
Ultra Greed begins to deal damage to Ultra Lust. Eventually the freeze effect wears off and she swats her away.
"Traitor!" She yelled as she takes out a piece of electrified metal, coated in platinum. She rushes at Ultra Lust trying to deliver the final blow. But she manages to parry Ultra Greed's attack with the Trinity Shield.
"Lola…It looks like it's the end for me."
"No…it can't be true."
"Don't worry about me, after all, it takes more than this to kill off a sin."
Lola starts to tear up…
"Now listen to me. Once this attack destroys my body, there will be something to pick up. I want you to have it, as it will help you on your future trials. Think of it as me being with you in spirit."
Lola can barely stop her tears from flowing. The shield cracks…it looks like it will be shattered at any moment!
"Luna was right, all you need is love, love is all you need."
Ultra Greed breaks through the shield and delivers one final blow to Ultra Lust. Her body shatters, and leaves behind an item. It is a pink heart with a pink aura around it. Lola felt like she had reunited with an old friend, only for her to be ripped apart from her grasp. Lola does what Ultra Lust told her to do, and grabs the item.
Self-Intimacy
Love yourself
Lola's eyes are now set aflame!
"Libidine, I will avenge you."
Ultra Greed may have killed the traitor, but in doing so, she made one fatal mistake! She made Lola mad. No one makes Lola mad and lives.
Suddenly, Lola begins to dodge and counter Ultra Greed's attacks perfectly! Eventually, she deals enough damage to kill the final Ultra Sin!
"Impossible! You even managed to beat Ultra Greed?!"
"In statera de lux et tenebris. Quod reprobi angeli numquid percutiat vos descendit! Quod amictorium de alba et ruber congrego…" -Exitium Novem
The fallen angels descend!
The white scarfed angel has what looks like "black hair", While the red scarfed one has what looks like "white hair". Even though Lola's rage has worn off, she easily takes down Pre-Gabriel and Pre-Uriel.
"Grr, I see I have to finish you off myself!"
Satan comes out of the shadows and slams the arena with his hand, causing jagged precipices to arise and cut Lola. Lola responds by disabling the hands and focus firing on his face. Eventually, he sinks back into the darkness and reemerges as a skeleton! But it seems he has one last trick up his sleeve.
"Quod Agnus dei. Quod symbolum de martyres ubique. Apud septem cornibus et septem oculi, humanity's cultro habet imbutus illud apud magicis potentias! Nunc illud quod tempus enim a pluviam judiciam in omnis de vos!" -Exitium Decem
He summons a ram.
"Is that it?"
Lola sacrifices the ram, just as ancient texts from long ago have done so.
The ram's corpse begins to shed its flesh. Its bones turn carbon black. It seems that Lola has incurred the wrath of the lamb.
It begins shooting out shots in a scattered pattern, which Lola dodges. She begins counter firing, and in response, the lamb shoots out cardinal brimstone lasers, which miss her. Lola deals enough damage to force it into its second phase.
In this phase, its head detaches from its body, creating two targets for her to attack! She focuses on the head first. The head charges at, but narrowly misses her. She takes advantage of the opening to deal damage to it! The body just fires off a quintuple shot aimlessly and at completely random intervals. The head spits out a quintuple homing shot, which Lola outruns. She continues to focus fire on the head until it's defeated. Finally, she is directly below the body and just fires at it until it's dead. Her electrical attack can reach the other side of the screen, so she can be far away from the body's attack. Eventually, Lola managed to beat it.
Satan lets out an eardrum shattering yell as he begins to fire a massive wave of red and grey shots. Lola deals a massive amount of damage, gets hit by one of the projectiles, takes advantage of the invincibility frames and eventually fully destroys Satan's upper half! Satan has been killed and Lola has FINALLY reclaimed the Purple essence!
The arena starts to crumble away without Satan's presence. Lola makes haste to the pentagram platform, which has been drained of blood during the onslaught. She makes it there as the platform descends into a blue room and eventually breaks apart once it lands there. This barren place…it's the Blue Womb…isn't it?
Lola enters the Blue Womb's door. A Lime Green essence exits her and goes underground. Lola sees a version of herself, but unlike her doppelganger at the Cathedral, this one seems to be blue. It has the same attacks as that boss, with the added effect of moving around a little bit. Like the Cathedral boss, it also has an ominous Latin song in the background!
Nos sunt vester quintus iudicium
Nos sunt quod Caerulus Infans
Nos sunt legione
Vos sunt unum
Nos sunt fere qui decies centena
Novem centum milla fortis!
Est tempus, Lola Loud
Enim vos a faciem quod musicorum!
Est vester timor
De nostrum opinio
Lola, adepto rid de vester post miseriam
Est tempus enim vester crucifixio
Proditione de familia, a scelus pejus mortis
Andrzej voluntas dicere id quoadusque vester finalem spiramen!
Eventually, Lola manages to take down this boss.
"Ha! Is that it?"
But as any Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth + fan knows, no…it's not.
A spot in the middle of the room seems to grow larger and larger. It looks like a fibrous bundle of tissue forming a face. The face on it now? Lily's. It speaks the only words Lily would have known at the time.
"Poo-poo."
Lola attacks it. The creature delves underground and pops out with a new face, this time, it's Luna's. This time, it speaks in a raspy breath.
"Sister…"
It begins firing several patterns consisting of mono, double, and triple shots, easily avoidable. Lola continues firing at it until it burrows down and chooses a new face. This time, it's Lisa's face.
This time, it summons flies to attack Lola, but she easily shoots them down. It resumes firing a random pattern of shots.
"Interrupt…research…"
It takes enough damage and pops out with its fourth face, this time, it's Luan.
"How…you! Lincoln told me…read my diary! Is this…repay me? All I did…ask for a dollar!"
It alternates between the fly spawning attack and pattern shot attack, but Lola manages to lower it to the next threshold, the fifth face it takes on is Lori.
"Did you steal my…lipstick again?!"
Now it summons about 20 blue gapers from its mouth, which Lola eventually kills. She deals enough damage to force it to use a new face. The sixth one is Lynn Jr.
"That's unnecessary roughhousing! You're grounded…running over…car."
It fires shots that wrap around the screen, but they miss Lola. She deals even more damage to it, forcing it back underground and popping out with a seventh face, it possesses Leni's face.
"Lola, I think he liked me!"
It spits out 3 projectiles and burrows underground as it fires a massive number of projectiles. Lola is forced to dodge, as she can't hit it when it's underground. But she gets hit and is down to her 7 red hearts. Once it pops back up, Lola attacks it enough for it to change into its eighth face, Lucy.
"What have you done to Edwin?!"
"That's my least favorite…"
It tries more of the same, but Lola dodges and counterattacks, it burrows underground and pops out with Lana's face.
"I'm so sorry I…to be you!"
It shoots out all 3 of its projectile attacks at once. Lola tries to use the teleporter, but the bullets encompass the entire screen! She gets hit, but Celtic Cross activates, which Lola takes advantage of, piling on as much damage as possible! It has about 10% health left when it takes on its final face, Lincoln!
"Because reading with my clothes on is uncomfortable and distracting."
Lola tries to bomb it. It responds by sucking up the bomb and spitting it back out at her. It blows up in her face.
"Can't something go my way for once?"
Lola continues to try and attack it. But it seems it has a new trick up its sleeve. It sinks into the ground and tries to suck her down like a quicksand pit. Luckily, Lola manages to evade it and attack it once it pops back out! The face stealer explodes in a flash of light, leaving a burn mark of Lincoln's face on the floor. The Lime Green essence returns to her. Suddenly, a black and lilac black hole like object appears. This portal…the entrance to the Void…Lola steps inside.
Once inside the Void, Lola sees a glitchy amalgamation of every floor layout. In the center of the room, Lola comes face to face with the melty faced doppelganger!
"Ahh, how did you get here?! My copies should have killed you!"
"It's over Deliri-Lola!"
"On the contrary, it's only just begun!" Deliri-Lola said as she subdivides into 4 smaller parts. Lola looks around and sees 4 boss rooms in the cardinal directions.
Lola enters the upward room. It sends her into a wooden basement, set ablaze! In the room there's another Delirium copy, this one takes the form of Luan.
"Ha, maybe it's time for you to go relearn the fundamentals." She mocked as she summons Monstro, Gurglings, Larry Jr., Steven, The Duke of Flies, Rag Man, Gemini, Little Horn, Dingle, Turdlings, Pin, Fistula, Widow, Gurdy Jr., Blighted Ovum and The Haunt all at once!
Lola cuts through all the summoned Delirium bosses and defeats Deliri-Luan.
Lola enters the downward room and appears in a cave submerged in water. In it is the second commander, Deliri-Lana. She summons the bosses one at a time in this order: Chub, Gurdy, Mega Maw, Mega Fatty, C.H.A.D, Rag Mega, The Hollow, The Husk, Dark One, Polycephalus, Carrion Queen, The Wretched, Peep, The Frail, The Stain, The Forsaken and Big Horn.
Lola defeats this set of Delirium bosses and moves on to Deliri-Lana.
"Ah, I really don't want to fight you, I much prefer eating these churros."
It says as it eats 16 of them in no time at all.
"Welp, see ya, kid."
It presses a detonator and it blows up.
Lola moves on to the leftward room. It's a very dark, dank and musty looking area…the Delirium commander this time is Deliri-Lucy.
"You won't win." She says as she summons the bosses in pairs. The Cage and Monstro II, The Gate and Gish, The Adversary and The Bloat, The Mask of Infamy and Loki, and finally Brownie and the Sisters Vis.
Lola destroys this set of Delirium bosses. She had the easiest time with this set. She moves on to, and defeats Deliri-Lucy.
Lola moves onto the final room, the rightward one. The room is coated in viscera. The Delirium commander is nowhere to be found. Lola walks forward and hears something.
"Now!"
Lola instinctively backflips out of the way and attacks forward. Taking down the Delirium form of Mama Gurdy.
"So, you evaded the trap? Well maybe THESE will end you!"
The commander summons the last of the bosses in these waves. Scolex, Mr. Fred and Lokii, Daddy Long Legs, and lastly, Blastocyst, Teratoma and Triachnid.
The commander reveals himself to be Deliri-Lincoln. He starts trying to violently attack Lola.
"Why won't you crack, little egg?! Just die already, you little brat!"
Lola dodges and kills the final Delirium commander. Heading back into the main room is Delirium in its true form. Lola shoots at it one more time…
BZZZAAAPPP!
And finally kills off the darkness plaguing her mind.
She did it.
She confronted and defeated her inner demons. She's dealt with her insecurities and has moved on from her past.
The Doan-pleganger deactivates the machine and we return back to reality. It's about 1:45 PM.
"So, do you feel better?"
"You know what, I do."
I leave the building and head back home.
"So, did you finish that thing you were doing?"
"Yes, I did, Leif. I have a surprise for you."
I show him his surprise, which are 2 handguns.
"One for me, and one for you. And just so Lyle can't get into it…"
I put it on a ledge high above anything he can reach.
"There are 2 keys to the case. One for me and one for you." I said as I hand one of the keys to him
"Aw, thanks Lola."
"You're welcome."
I retreat back to my room and relax a little. After all, I earned it.
Preview
"So, have you understood the story so far, detective?"
Author's Note: Lola's insecurity essences are as follows:
Blond Yellow: Maternal Neglect
Dark Blue: Twinferiority Complex
Pink: Past Regrets
Purple: Manipulativeness
Lime Green: Opinionation
White: Paranoia
The white essence was originally used for the Delirium fight, but it was scrapped when I decided to split the final battle into 4 mid-boss battles. Besides, technically speaking, ALL of the bosses are Delirium, in one form or another.
All of the bosses HP are listed below:
Deliri-Rita: 700
They Live: 2000 (100 for the Heart itself, and 950 for both fetuses)
Lola: 2500
Satan: 1337 (666 for both phases, plus 5 extra for the Fallen mid-boss before the fight)
Mega Satan: 7700 (616 for hands (that can regenerate, killing both deals 250 damage to the main body), 3600 for the first phase, 4100 for the second phase)
Conquest: 1025
Famine: 750
War: 999
Death: 900
Pestilence: 1250
Ultra Pride (Lola): ?
Ultra Pride (Edmund): 600
Ultra Pride (Florian): 450
Ultra Wrath: ?
Ultra Envy: ?
Ultra Gluttony: ?
Ultra Sloth: ?
Ultra Lust: 5400
Ultra Greed (Lori): 15000 (with 5 phases, 1000 for the first phase, 2000 for the second, 3000 for the third, 4000 for the fourth and 5000 for the fifth)
Lux: 1800
Tenebris: 3000
The Lamb: 8000 (4000 in the first phase, 3600 for the head, 400 for the body)
Asphyxilola: 3200
Hush: 6666 (swaps heads each time 606 damage is taken, except if the face is Lily. It still has damage scaling)
Delirium: 10000 (you deal 1666 damage to it every time a major boss is defeated, for the last 1666, it subdivides itself into 4 Delirium commanders that have 416.5 HP each, it is left with only 1 HP after all the commanders are defeated)
All Delirium bosses have their HP quartered. For example, Monstro normally has 250 HP. Delirium Monstro only has 62 HP.
All of the music that would have been used in these fights are all remixes, and most of them have Delirium's theme in the track somewhere. Here are all the track names.
Woeful Wrath: (Thine Wrath + Delirium)
Tachycardia: (Be Done + Delirium)
Stigmata: (Infanticide + Delirium)
Dominicide: (Hericide + Delirium)
Ego Concupiso Omnis: (Chorus Mortis + Delirium) (Flesh form)
Wrought Iron: (Chorus Mortis + Sacrificial) (Bronze form)
Silver Lining: (Chorus Mortis + Lament of the Angel) (Silver Form)
Gilded Glints: (Chorus Mortis + Greed) (Gold form)
Platinum Power: (Chorus Mortis + Ante Lucem) (Platinum Form)
Martyrdom: (Loud House Intro Theme + The Fallen Angel + Delirium + A Mourner Unto Sheol)
Hypoxia: (My Innermost Apocalypse + Delirium)
Serene Suffocation: (Morituros + Penance)
Darkness of the Mind: (Delirium + Loud House Intro Theme)
Tachycardia was originally called "Coricide", meaning "heart killer."
Lola also had Cricket's Body, Cricket's Head, Sad Onion, Blood of The Martyr, Ipecac, Stigmata, Squeezy, Dark Matter, Torn Photo, Eden's Blessing and Tech X. All of those item's effects were incorporated into the tear gun that Lola has. The Eau de Attraction that Deliri-Lola sprayed on the original granted a permanent charmed effect onto her for the entire first battle. It would have made the enemies directly target Lola. If Lana was in The BOI machine, she would have also had to fight They Live, only this time, the capped fetus would be the one attacking. Even though the song for the Cathedral and Chest bosses are supposed to be matched to Infanticide and Ascension, respectively. Oddly, it sounds better with the opposite track. When in the background, Mega Satan summons the mid-bosses by reciting passages from the Book of Destruction, the Satanic counterpart to the Book of Revelation. It has the mark of the Book of Belial on its cover. It has to be spoken in the old tongue (Latin) for the spells to work. The Self Intimacy item has the same effect as the Placenta. Lux is a darker form of Uriel with Lucy's hairstyle, while Tenebris is a darker form of Gabriel with Lincoln's hairstyle. They're even called Pre-Uriel and Pre-Gabriel.
Two Easter eggs in the Stage 4 battle, if you have any of the spider items, Ultra Lust will stay far away from you. This is because the person she copied is an arachnophobe. You need a weapon with extremely high speed and range to even damage her. Second, in the Cupiditas fight, if you get hit by one of Ultra Sloth's music note projectiles and get inflicted with fear, you will see the original Ultra Greed, the hitbox is different since it checks for Lori's hitbox and not the original Ultra Greed, the effect wears off when the status does.
Asphyxilola contains the Lime Green essence, which is Lola's insecurities of opinions, or rather, what people think of her. Essentially, she is 1.38 to 2.28 million people sharing one body. I rounded it to 1.9 million when this was originally written but it is up to 2.57 million as of now. She is a culmination of the entire Loud House fandom's opinions on her. While most of them are just fans buried amongst one another, one semi-stable consciousness is dominant. Andrzej is a 28 year old machinist from Wroclaw, Poland and his motto is "being hated by family is worse than death". Lola's defining characteristic is being hated! That's why the writers made her the bratty character!
Deliri-Lana didn't eat churros, she ate DYNAMITE. She's so lazy and unwilling to fight that she kills herself for you.
Each major fight with a Delirium final boss is held in a corrupted part of Lola's brain.
Deliri-Rita: Hypothalamus
They Live: Corpus Callosum
Lola: Amygdala
Satan/Mega Satan/The Lamb: Cerebrum (all of it)
Asphyxilola/Hush: Medulla Oblongata
Delirium: Basal Ganglia
The Sigils that signal the appearances of the Harbingers all start with "S".
Subjugation: Conquest
Sun: Famine
Sword: War
Scythe: Death
Smog: Pestilence
The Ultra Sins are also connected to one of Lola's organs.
Superbia: Face
Iro: Hands
Invida: Brain
Gula: Stomach
Teporis Torporibus: Liver
Libidine: Heart
Cupiditas: Eyes
Being extremely vain, Superbia would care the most about appearance, which is why she represents the face.
Iro represents the hands because not only can Lola beat people up with them, it's also useful for manipulating things, which is one of Lola's favorite pastimes.
Naturally, Invida would represent the brain, as not only is she trapped in there, you also need to actively think about being envious of something.
Gula represents the stomach, self explanatory, really.
Teporis Torporibus represents the liver. Being an underrated organ that secretly does everything fits very well with Ultra Sloth's personality! Originally, the organ to represent sloth would have been the ears.
Libidine represents the heart. She is the only one of the 7 sins to be considered "good". She only wants what's best for everyone.
Cupiditas would obviously represent the eyes. After all, you need to literally see what you want in order to covet it (unless you're blind, in which case, you covet either eyesight or a dog that sees for you, either way, it still fits).
Originally, after reclaiming the Purple essence, Lola would have been teleported to an arena similar to the Glitz Pit from Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. She would have been summoned by AnimeChampMaster8, who would have explained to her that there are a lot of people she pissed off with her bratty attitude. He formed a group called L.O.L.A, or the League Of Lola Assassins. He would have tried and almost succeeded in killing her if not for the interference of the Doan-pleganger. The group would have been a recurring nuisance for Lola. They were ultimately cut out for just being a distraction to the main story.
And now, we move on to the Ultra Sins. Here are their dossiers:
Superbia: It looks like Lola wearing a white dress. She appears all sweet and innocent, but it's really a guise to hide her true nature. Nicknamed the "angel killer", she is one of the worst Ultra Sins. She won't hesitate to strike down anyone who gets in her way! Being the embodiment of pride, she can't refuse a challenge. She has a smug air of superiority around her and thinks she's more perfect than you.
"It seems there is one angel left (shows a picture of Lincoln). Well, partner? Shall we eradicate our mutual enemy?
YES [NO]
"No? Unfortunately, regarding that..."
"YOU MADE YOUR CHOICE LONG AGO."
Superbia has Crack the Sky, Filigree Feather, Marked and Trisagion
Iro: Not to be confused with Iroh from Avatar: The Last Airbender, this Ultra Sin takes the form of Lincoln. Lola worries that her abuse of Lincoln will eventually turn him into...this. Iro loves pain...in fact, he's addicted to pain, and thinks pain equals pleasure. Lola's repeated abuse of him has caused him to associate Lola inflicting physical, mental and psychological abuse on him as a sign of Lola showing that she loves him! Even if Lola shows him kindness, he literally can't process Lola being kind to him. However, he is a generally noble person, despite having an affinity for explosives and arson.
"I remember all the love you've shown me through your psychological torment. I know what it really means. That's just how you express love, isn't it? Do you still love me?"
Iro has Fire Mind, Gimpy, Mr. Mega, Pyro, Pyromaniac and Sacred Heart
Invida: Portrayed as a meek, shy version of Lisa, this Ultra Sin is buried within the deepest recesses of Lola's brain. She has reality warping powers, but fears that she might accidently kill someone because of it. So, she hides as a preventative measure. Not much else is known about her. I guess the machinations of Lola's mind are an enigma.
"You're here? But I might hurt you! Are you sure you still want to play with me? Seriously? You don't know how happy I am to hear that."
Invida is never fought
Gula: It Looks Like Lynn. Having the metabolism rate equivalent to the power of a nuclear reactor, she needs food, and a lot of it! She can stalk prey by mimicking certain animals. She is in a Hatfield-McCoy-esque blood feud with the harbinger Famine. And yes, before you ask, she did try eating the other Ultra Sins to see what they taste like. She is a bit of a gourmand, being able to tell how something tastes with scary accuracy.
"Mmm, Meatball Subs..."
Gula has Black Hole, Brimstone, Isaac's Fork, Maw of The Void and Mega Blast
Teporis Torporibus: It mimics Luna. This Ultra Sin is supposed to represent sloth, but when you actually fight her...well, she isn't slothful, that's for sure! She attacks from the background and pelts the player with a massive amount of projectiles! Like the person she's copying, Tor has an affinity for music. Her favorite is hard alt rock! All of her projectiles can inflict random status effects. Since she is the only Ultra Sin with two words for her name, most people refer to her by her nickname, Tor.
"Are you ready? Cause this will be a show to remember!"
Teporis Torporibus has the 3 Dollar Bill
Libidine: It resembles Leni. This Ultra Sin is a bit of a black sheep, since it prefers to help others and not hurt them. As such, she is the most "rebooted" sin. Even though she's supposed to be Lust, she is the exact opposite, as she practices 6 of the 7 Heavenly Virtues (the missing one is humility, because she usually doesn't do anything that warrants praise anyway). She is the second strongest of the Ultra Sins and is quite an adept fighter. She appears to teleport a lot, but it's just her going really fast! As she says herself, all she wants is for everyone to be happy. She is Lola's Patron Sin.
"Don't worry, I'll help you!"
Libidine has Goat Hoof, Purity, The Halo and the Trinity Shield
Cupiditas: It looks like Lori. It is the strongest Ultra Sin. The reason why Cupiditas looks like a slutty version of Lori is because Lola kind of sees her as such. The real Lori flaunts her boyfriend around every chance she gets, manipulates Clyde to stroke her own ego and would have let the real Leni die in a car crash just to feel needed (not even Lola is that evil). Lola is just taking it to its logical extreme. By the way, Lola thought Lori's Halloween costume was a seductress at first, then a dominatrix, finally, she settled on "slutty vampire". Whereas the real Lori can't stand Clyde, Cupiditas would gladly have a foursome with Bobby, Clyde and Hugh! Cupiditas has a little bit of every sin, to be honest. She's so hedonistic that Libidine, the sin who's SUPPOSED to be the hedonistic one, calls her out on it. She does have an affinity for fashion, surprisingly. She thinks the beige scarf she wore was stylish!
"Come on, is that all you got?! This battle is supposed to be interesting! Come on, give the people what they want!"
Cupiditas has Magic Fingers, Money=Power, Spear of Destiny and The Stopwatch

Here is what Gluttony says the other Ultra Sins taste like:
Cupiditas: Foie gras with caviar on top
Gula: MSG infused Kewpie mayonnaise
Invida: Kelp jerky
Iro: Carolina reaper peppers
Libidine: Metastatic diabetes
Superbia: The rare fruit of the Kazook tree
Teporis Torporibus: Fish 'n' Chips
Needless to say, the other Ultra Sins weren't happy that Gula was trying to eat them, so Satan rebooted her so that she'd stop eating her allies.
With All the talk of the Sin Matricies and Patron Sins, here are the Loud Siblings' Patron sins.
Lori: Pride
Leni: Wrath
Luna: Envy
Luan: Lust
Lynn: Wrath
Lincoln: Sloth
Lucy: Greed
Lana: Gluttony
Lola: Lust
Lisa: Pride
Lily: Pride
The Ultra Sins' true forms are vapors of concentrated sin essence, encapsulated in a vessel. The sin can change the vessel into whatever they want. Superbia, Gula, Ira and Invida are female sins, so when they shapeshift into a male body, they are Superbio, Gulo, Iro, and Invido. Cupiditas, Libidine, and Teporis Torporibus are gender neutral, so they can be called that whatever form they take.
Ultra Lust and Ultra Sloth's songs in the music duel are titled Secondary Heartbeat and Shattered Bonds. Because I'm a masochist, I'm going to transliterate it in Latin.
Pulsatio Secundarium:
Est tempus ad purgo illi tenebris cogitationes
Lavo a illi atramentum deleos
Planto pax apud vester peccatorum
Et invenio quod robur intra!
Audio ad me
Ego sum non
vester hostis
mea munusculum, mea canticum
tantum sequor secus
Vos scio vos sunt non iniuria
Vos sunt ita prope
Ego queo video quod requies
Cum haec canticum's dose
Vos volountas habo ortum
Vos sunt quod una qui scios
Quod tempus ad pugno es propter
Nunc es quod tempus ad facio uel morior
Sed qum mea auxilium vos voluntas praevolo
Hic est a munusculum ad memini mea per
Justo tendo...
Ego scio Ego sum non fortis
Justo vester socium
Sed apud mea per vester latus
Vos voluntas perago hic insanus equito
[Instrumental]
Quod quartus iudicium's finis
Voluntas vos upend
Et lucror
Uel exsisto praeoccupatus per peccatum?
Cum Cupiditas, Teporis Torporibus et Libidine
Ego habeo non
Fractus vester fiducia
Procedo, vos mustum
Etiam quamquam
Quod pugnat sum acer
Vos mustum reposco
Vester quartus essentia
Est vester fatum
Ut persevero ad manipulate?
Nos spero es cados
Vos voluntas pergo vester virga
Mentalis poena ad metrum
Superstes sum, et resequor vester familia
Creo aeturnus memoriae
Est quod terminus, sic ego hortor
Apprimo in!
Vos sunt in quod ora
To victory!
Praefringo Vincula:
Est tempus enim sua ad mori
Venio in nunc, habeo non clamor
Sua consilium ut verto vos, sic vafer
Illud nolo pervolito!
Quomodo pathetics, sua potes lego
Haec canticum volutas planto sua aurises sanguinem
Haec montum, vos oportet ausculto
Sua habet malum actus!
Audio ad mea!
Sua voluntas cupio magis!
In quisque area
Exitium in sua excite
Ex sua, non effugium!
Obscero, Ego habeo non cupio ad nocere vos, Libidine
Sed si ego habeo Ad, Ego oportet
Subsisto ad rebellio
Et relinquo quatenus parum hellion
Ego volunta aufero quatinus spinam
Usque si illud voluntas apporto vos spretio
Ego sum ita scissa...
[Instrumental]
Est noster divinus ius
Ad persevere quod pugno
Est nostrum fatum
Et nos potes fugio
Interneco ut pestis
Causa pervagatus tumultus
Quatenus action es quod optimus
[Instrumental]
Quatinus es iniuria cum vos, Libidine?
Quam potes ego mereo vester fiducia?
Non indigentia ad causa a turba
Vester causa es a duco
[Mini-Instrumental]
Venio in, utor vester caput
Et adjutorium finis quod caedes
Subsisto exsistendum sua scutum
Et nos voluntas cogo sua ad cedo
Adfectus inundati
Ex a pugo qui es diebus fatalibus
Non via ad subsido illud
Mea sanguinem es coagulatum...
Prohibere vester continuus congarrio
Sicut sua caedes neurons similis boves
permitto nobis perago quatenus proelium
Confundo sua et planto sua profligo
Obscero, venio circiter
Habeo non planto mea accudo
Vos, sicut vos sunt
Quod optimus de nobis
Cedo vester pugna apud mea
Sino Lola alteruter morior aut aufugio
Et nos potes denique exisisto felix!
The 29 forbidden songs Ultra Sloth mentions are the 29 Antibirth tracks. Playing one will grant bonus effects to the person playing the song, but if you are unworthy to play it, the song will kill you. Some people can play 1 of the 29, some can play more than one, but only the chosen one can play all 29 tracks without dying. Who is the chosen one? None other than the creator of the tracks himself. No one knows his real name, but people know him by his YouTube username "mudeth". The effects of Mudeth's Antibirth tracks are listed here, at least, the ones we know of. When you stop playing the songs, the effects go away.
08-Gloria Filio: In Antibirth, this is Mom's Heart's theme. The effect when this instrumental is played is that you get a 50% speed increase, 25% shot range increase, 5% damage increase and any non red, soul or black hearts will be filled up with adrenal-hearts until the life counter is maxed out. Adrenal-hearts are hearts that can take damage, but their recovery rate is 4 times faster than that of the placenta in Rebirth! This song represents second chances, as in Antibirth, there is an alternate Mom's Heart fight that's way harder than the original! It's a valorous instrumental that motivates you to never give up! Just what Lola needs when fighting both Tor and Cupiditas!
15-Machine In The Walls: Not used in this chapter, but anyone who's played Antibirth adores this track. It is the theme for the mausoleum. This instrumental makes it so that all projectiles have a random status effect (similar to the 3 dollar bill) and that all of them will home in on their target! An enigmatic instrumental...I wonder what status effect you'd get hit by...
16-Memento Mori: The final boss theme in Antibirth. The effect of this instrumental is that your attacks are super powerful, but once you stop playing, you immediately die. The song is that powerful. It also lowers your health to one heart, effectively making the user a glass cannon. Only Mudeth himself can play this song and not die immediately after. With harsh and deep chords, this is an all or nothing type of instrumental.
26-Misericorde: This track is not used in this chapter. It is Isaac's theme in Antibirth. This instrumental completely nullifies tear delay, maxes out amount of tears and surrounds the user with 2 sacrificial daggers, one moving clockwise and one moving counterclockwise. It also changes all projectiles into mom's knife.
I bet most of you figured out that what Ultra Envy is saying is in a vigenere cipher. For those that don't know cryptography or watch Gravity Falls, A vigenere cipher is encrypted with a key word. What is the key word for this cipher? Well, you're going to have to find it in someone else's story. This person doesn't know they have the key word, but they are an inspiration for this cipher. Here is a riddle for you to help you find it.
Cum tenebris cadit in quod domum ex Loud
Circum omnis anguli, timore abundo
Hic hominem, quod Loud familia's labes
Sollictus historiarum de euis infigendus
Historiarium ex horror, causas de noster vae
Enim quod fortem unums, haec estne code
Unum duo quattour tres unum quinque octo unum
What? You thought it would be in English? That would be too easy. Besides, even if you figure this part out, you still need to find the key word. But all will be revealed eventually...
Update: As of February 12, the person who had the key to this mystery died (Ok, in all honesty, he "retired", but for all intents and purposes, his account is dead). So, I'll just tell you that the codeword was "stigmata", and that you'd go to CaptainDarko2.0's story, "The Prodigal Lincoln: Stigmata" and crack this code I made for you, but since he deleted all of his stories...we're stuck. The message would reveal that Satan has summoned HIS LISA into the OBS dimension to fight Lola, similar to Galacta Knight in the Kirby games, as both of them would be dangerous beings from another dimension.
There are a lot of references in this chapter, I wonder if you can spot them all? Either way, something is bound to happen soon, just wait...
