"So, let me get this straight, he places a helmet on the whole town to put them to sleep in order to grow powerful. And the only way to free the others was to "shock" them from their dreams?" Scanty asked after hearing the story.
"Yeah. I was wearing the same helmet. My dream was to have everyone accept me and, this was long before I met Stocking, had Sam as my girlfriend. Strange enough, that work me up." Danny said.
Stocking huffs a bit, understanding what Danny told her.
"And she had the same dream?" Steve asked, confused.
"Trust me, I was surprised too," Danny said, remembering how he work her up.
"Well, at least Sloth doesn't need the power of dreams to grow stronger," Kneesocks said.
"Trust me, fighting Notucre was not easy when he had the whole town asleep. It was only after we destroy his machine that we stood a better chance." Danny said.
"So, he makes you dream what you want the most?" Panty asked.
"That's what it feels like. Though I get a feel if I do have that dream again, Stocking will replace Sam in it." Danny said, causing the goth angel to smile.
Steve turns away, trying to keep himself under control. He looks up and saw the factory ahead.
"There it is." He said.
"Good! I was getting a little tired of walking." Panty said, taking a breath.
They would have driven, but the streets were blocked with cars and people thanks to Sloth's power. The group of six walked up to the door, but Scanty heard something above them. She looked up and spotted some huge flies on the wall.
"Stop!" She said, causing everyone to turn.
"Company." She said, pointing.
Everyone looked up and Stocking sighed.
"Flies. I hate flies." She groans.
"Especially when they fly around your head for no reason." Kneesocks agreed.
"Never thought I hear you two agreed on the same thing," Danny said.
Both Stocking and Kneesocks shrug. Danny looked at the flies and notices how softly they were buzzing.
"I think they're asleep." He said, unsure.
Steve looks at them and had to agree.
"Yeah. I get the feeling the minute we open this door they're going to wake up." He said.
"Might as well phase through then," Danny said, taking Panty's and Stocking's arms.
Steve growls before taking a breath. He took Scanty's and Kneesocks's arms before both groups phased through the door.
Panty held her nose once they were inside. The place was not like it was. Instead of soft nice mattresses, the whole place was filled with trash.
"Okay, I know Solth is lazy but I didn't think it will be gross!" She said.
"Tell me about it!" Scanty agreed.
"Let's keep moving," Steve said, sighing.
The group walked down the factory, keeping an eye out for anything. Though everything seemed quiet, they were all on guard. Stocking handed Danny Stripes 2 which he nods in thanks.
They soon came to the biggest room which was the area where the mattresses were made. They then spotted something in the middle of the room, relaxing.
"Oh, guests. It's been a long time since I had someone come to see me." It said.
"You must be the Sin of Sloth?" Danny asked.
"Very good, I see not all humans have forgotten us," Sloth said.
"Yeah, well, we're also aware that all seven of you have been freed. The rulers of both heaven and hell task us to stop you." Steve said.
"Oh? So the boy and his demons returned. Pride will be saddened. But, why worry about that?" Sloth said.
"MY demons? Scanty and Kneesocks are not mine!" Steve said, looking at the Deamon Sisters.
"Listen Sloth, you are obviously not going to try anything. So do us a favor and surrender peacefully." Stocking said.
Sloth could only laugh at that.
"Forgive me. But I'm Sloth, the sin of mankind. I chose to do nothing. Thinking is not my thing. However, I can see you six are very tired. I would like you all to take a moment of rest." Sloth said.
"Nice try, fly head. But Angels don't rest." Panty said, aiming Back Lace at it.
"Oh, but you have. Since you angels have been living on earth, you have lived as the humans do. So, you do rest." Sloth told her.
"And same for those demons. You'll act more like humans than you know." It added.
However, Danny could hear something buzzing and acted. He jumps towards Kneesocks, pushing her to the ground as a giant fly flew past him. Kneesocks looked surprised before Danny jumped off her. The fly started to head for them before Scanty shot it with her gun. It blew apart before more flies started to attack.
Scanty and Panty waste no time shooting the flies that drive towards them as Kneesocks and Stockings slash the ones that close. Danny and Steve switch before shooting and slashing the flies part(Kneesocks leads Steve one of her scythes). Sloth just watched, not even moving or caring.
While the flies outnumber the six, they were dropping like...well...flies. However, Sloth could see it. They were growing tired, allowing his power to grow strong in them. With one last fly killed, the six panted before turning to Sloth.
"Well, what do you have to say to that?" Panty bragged.
"Are you tired?" Sloth asked.
"Tired?" Danny asked, confused.
"All that fighting must have been draining. You all look like you can use some rest." Sloth said, feeling his power grow in them.
"Well, it was pretty tiring," Scanty said, growing more tired.
"I guess a small rest won't hurt," Kneesocks said, also tired.
"I...think nap won't hurt," Steve said, yawning.
Soon, Danny and Anarchy sisters felt tired as well. The six sway as Panty dropped her Back Lace. All six of them fell on their backs, feeling too lazy to move. Sloth smiles. Without them getting in it way, it looks as if the sins have won.
Suddenly a gunshot rang out, slashing past its cheek, breaking the hold it had on the six. Danny shot up, turning to see Jazz standing above them, holding Back Lace.
"Jazz?!" He asked, seeing his sister shaking her head.
"Laying down on the job? Geez, Danny I thought you were a better hero than that." She said, helping her brother to his feet.
"How?" He asked.
"Not fully sure, but Garterbelt thinks that God has some hope for me." Jazz said.
"Wait, Mom undid Sloth's power?" Stocking asked.
"Yeah. Sloth was trying to tire you all out so his power could take hold. He was also right about everyone being more like a human. However, I think I can take him." Jazz said, surprising everyone.
"YOU?! You're just a human! You have no powers of your own!" Scanty said.
"Maybe, but that doesn't mean I'm powerless." Jazz said, holding up Back Lace.
"Are you sure about this?" Panty asked.
"Yeah. I can do this." Jazz said, walking up to Sloth.
"So, you're going to stop me? Surely that walk here tired you out..." Sloth started before another gunshot flew past him.
"Actually, I got all the rest I needed earlier, thanks." Jazz said, twirling the gun in her hand.
Jazz started to walk back and forth, still twirling Back Lace.
"It was said that you are one of the weaker sins. And most might be put off by your size. But I know better." Jazz said.
"Thinking is..." Sloth started, only for Jazz to fire again.
"Sorry, Sloth. But all that talking has to be tiring for you. So, how about you shut the fuck up and call it a day?" Jazz said, still aiming Back Lace at the sin.
"As you wish," Sloth said, seeing more flies at her.
Jazz sighs before taking aim once again. She fired and the single shot boucle around, killing all the flies. Sloth was surprised as Jazz smirked.
"I may be human, but I'm friends with some angels. I may not be in the same league as them or my brother, but that doesn't make me the weak link of the group." She said.
Sloth looks at her, seeing that something was blocking his power from reaching her. Jazz stood ready, knowing that Sloth had a plan.
His throne started to shake before a group of spider-like legs push him up. Jazz rolled her eyes and waited. Sloth charged at her, but Jazz quickly rolled out of the way. Sloth tried to use his long staff to strike Jazz, but she easily dodges it. Jazz then shoots at one of the legs, causing it to break and force more weight on one side.
Smirking, Jazz kept her plan up. Let Sloth charge at her, dodge, shoot the legs, repeat. Soon, all the legs on the right side were gone, and the throne tipped over, carrying Sloth with it.
"TIMBER!" Jazz shouted as Sloth hits the ground.
Roaring, Sloth breaks free from his throne, charging on his own feet. While a bit faster off his throne, Jazz was still quicker. She dodges another charge before running after Sloth herself. Sloth turns around before swinging his staff. For a moment, Jazz disappeared. However, Sloth heard something running down his staff and turns to see Jazz doing that.
Jazz ran down the staff before shooting Sloth in its eye. Sloth screams in pain before throwing his staff up. Jazz jumps and lands on its head. She wastes no time in shooting Sloth's head, causing more pain to the Sin.
"You little BITCH!" Sloth shouted, trying to grab her.
Jazz jumps to the side of Sloth's head to dodge the hand before unloading Back Lace in its head again. Jazz finally jumps off of Sloth, landing on the ground. She turns around to see that Sloth was tired.
"You look like you could some rest." Jazz mocked.
Sloth glares at her, it's head bleeding.
"How about you lay down?" Jazz asked, aiming Back Lace at it.
"Repent..."
"MOTHERFUCKER!"
Jazz fires, the single shot tearing through Sloth's head, causing the huge sin to fall to the ground, dead. Jazz smirks before turning around, posing by acting like she was a secret agent.
Everyone looked surprised before Danny smiles.
"Nice work, Jazz," Danny said, walking up.
"It was a bit tough as I had to keep myself from being tired, but I felt that he was a bit slow." Jazz said, finally showing how tired she was.
"Still, nice work girl friend," Panty said as Jazz handed Back Lance to her.
Kneesocks walked up and held up the Sin Amlet, absorbing the falling sin.
"One down, six to go," Scanty said.
"Can't believe we fell to its power because everyone is far more human than they admit," Steve said, groaning.
"If Sloth can do that, then we need to work on curing our other sins," Kneesocks said.
Steve turns to see the others cheering for Jazz, making him think of his little brother.
"Steve?" Scanty asked, seeing him sigh.
"Let's move." He said, not wanting to deal with Danny right now.
The Deamon sisters nod and follow Steve out of the factory as it magically cleans itself and turned back to normal.
"Well, at least the mattresses can be soft and clean again," Panty said.
Let's get out here before someone sees us." Jazz said, knowing they shouldn't be here.
"Alright, everyone grab on," Danny said before noticing that Steven and the Deamon Sisters were gone.
"Huh? Where did they go?" He asked, looking around.
The others notices and looked around.
"Let's worry about them later. I already saw what they did with Sloth." Jazz said, clearly ready for a real nap.
Danny sighs before the girls grab his arms. Danny soon flew them out of the factory, seeing many people getting up. He only hopes that the next sin would give them time to recover.
Okay, I'm going to stop here. So they found Sloth and dealt with Sloth's minions, pointing out that Panty, Stocking, Scanty, and Kneesocks spend a lot of time on Earth, making them a bit like a human. Luckily, Jazz caught up and deal with the sin by herself. I made the fight as best as I can, having a human overpowering a sin in her own way. Not sure when the next sin will be but I do have an idea for the next chapter. I'm bringing in two angels I made up called Bra and Gloves for it. I'll cover them in the next chapter. But they do have one thing over Panty and Stocking, they are of a higher ranking than Panty and Stocking.
