N/N: Hey readers! SkyFlame and duo here for this week's chapter. Unfortunately, college classes have begun once again for me, and soon for duo, so Fridays should become the regular upload day. That's all I have to say for now, so here's the new chapter!

The New Fairy Tail

Chapter 4: Battle Against Lust and Gluttony!


Our group, minus Akiko, is running up the stairs. They come to a huge room filled with food beyond belief. They see a big (not exactly tall) guy. He has green skin and is devouring food at an unbelievable rate. Seeming as if he won't stop, Jarvan decides to speaks up, "Yo piggy, you gonna just eat or are you gonna fight?" The guy stops eating for a second then wipes his mouth, which doesn't actually do anything for the mess on his face. He then speaks in a deep, constipated voice, "None of you seem worth the time for me to stop eating." He then picks up another plate and starts eating.

Jarvan starts to yell out in anger, but is interrupted by Lucio who says, "Don't let this glutton anger you. I'll take care of him; you guys go on ahead." He then turns to Hikari, "Since you're the smartest, I assume you've figured out their little secret." She nods and Lucio grins, "Well then, I'll leave the rest to you." He says as he turns back towards the man. "Follow me!" Hikari calls out as she starts to run towards the door. With mixed emotions on his face, Jarvan shouts, "You better not lose Prince Charming!" and runs off to catch the others. With a smirk on his face Lucio asks, " Are you ready?"

The rest of our group is running up the stairs. Duo, curious about Lucio's comment, asks, "So, Hikari wanna let us in on what Lucio was talking about?" "You remember the names of these guys, right?" Hikari responds. Silvia then says, "They're the Eight Gates of Hell" Nodding, Hikari continues, "Right, the Eight Gates of Hell, as told in mythology, are supposed to hold their own sin." Beginning to understand, Silvia concludes, "So, more than likely, they get a boost if the person they're fighting is full of the sin in question."

Jarvan and Duo both look at the other two still confused about what's going on. Even still, Hikari presses on, "Right so from here on out, it's a matching game. We had Akiko take out Luvistia, who had to be Lust. Now we have neat and proper Lucio taking on that guy who had to be Gluttony. Next up is Greed followed by Wrath, Heresy, Violence, and Fraud."

Duo, now catching up, says, "So, we match up with the sin that is the most opposite to us and take them out." Jarvan finally gets it and says, "Why didn't you say so? Let's get this party started!" As they're running, Hikari ponders, 'But in the stories there are nine stages of hell before the center, is there someone we don't know about?'

*With Lucio*

"So by your appetite I'm guessing you really are Gluttony and you guys are the embodiment of the deadly traits?" Lucio asks. Groaning, Gulisto mutters, "Great I end up with the skinny know it all." The guy gets up and says, "Gulisto is the name and gluttony is my game twiggy. What magic do you use: wind, fire, water? Doesn't matter I'll eat them all! Jehahaha!" Lucio looks at him with a serious look, then smirks while saying, "Well this should be interesting since you can't eat my magic." Lucio gets into a samurai sword stance and out of thin air a sword in a blue and white sheath appears on his side.

Gulisto is surprised at first, then gets an excited grin on his face, "Well well well, a swordsman. It's been awhile since I got to eat one of you." Lucio grips his sword tightly then with a determined look says, "Now you'll learn why they call me Lucio of the Seven Blades." As he finishes his sentence he lunges forward leaving behind a crater.

*With Akiko*

Akiko is on the floor trying to catch her breath; she is covered in cuts that are dripping blood. Luvistia is standing not too far from where Akiko is. She looks to have taken little damage, if any at all. Laughing, Luvistia says, "Are you finally done little fairy? Are you giving up?" Akiko musters up the power to yell, "Never you stupid witch!" Worried thoughts flood Akiko's mind, 'At this rate she'll definitely kill me. Whenever I go in for a physical attack she makes that wind shield and when I launch an attack she redirects it.'

Luvistia starts to walk toward Akiko; with a grin she licks her lips and says, "You know, now that I get a better look at your body you are a magnificent woman indeed. In case you and your friends hadn't figured it out, all of us embody a sin. Mine is lust; I feed off of people wanting me. I would have rather had I man who fought me, but this feeling I'm getting from you is a new delicacy I haven't tasted. Tell you what; become my plaything and I'll let you be by my side as we recreate this world. What do you say?" Akiko then responds, "I say go stick it where the sun don't shine!"

A disappointed Luvistia then says, "Too bad; guess I have to kill you." Akiko starts to panic as Luvistia is now almost right in front of her. 'Come on Akiko think!' she shouts in her head, 'There has to be something I haven't tried yet. Maybe if I attack with both attacks at the same time then one should hit. But how do I do that? Think think THINK!'

*Flashback*

Akiko walks out of the guild and happens to pass by the training field. She looks over and sees dummies scattered around the field all in pristine condition; however, in the blink of an eye they were all cut in half. Then, out of nowhere, Lucio lands in the center of all the dolls. Akiko rushes over and asks, "What the hell was that!?" Shocked Lucio says, "Ah! Oh Akiko it's just you, can we sit down? I'm exhausted." Akiko nods, "As long as you explain what you just did."

They both head over to a nearby bench. Lucio grabs a water bottle and begins to chug it. Akiko looks closely at Lucio sees he is drenched in sweat and has scratches all over his body. Akiko tried to remember the last time she had seen him that dirty, but can't find an answer. Lucio finishes his drink then speaks, "So you wanna know what I was doing, huh?" Akiko, looking as if she just got out of a trance, nods. "Well it's simple really. I'm trying to create a super finisher."

A puzzled Akiko asks, "But why? You have a finisher: your Sept Grèves des Cieux. Why do you need another one?" Lucio scratches his head, "Well I do, but there it's not perfect. It is way to slow and is focused on one enemy. I would never be able to take down an enemy that is fast or a whole army."

Amazed at the determined look in his eyes, Akiko asks, "Can you teach me your move then?" "I'm thinking of calling it Croissant de Lune Barrage." He looks over at Akiko who looks confused. "It's French for Crescent Moon Barrage." Realizing he has not answered her question, he adds, "Come on; I'll teach you how to use it."

*End Flashback*

'That might work, but we never finished perfecting it and there's no way she'll let me charge up enough energy to do it. Unless...' Akiko thinks as she kneels. Luvistia looks pleased and comments, "So you finally decided to bow to your new queen." As Luvistia approaches Akiko, thinking the fight is over, she fails to notice the trap that has been set. Immediately lightning forms around her making a cage.

Caught off guard she asks, "Just what do you think you're doing? Do you think this will hold me?" Akiko gets up and says, "Not forever, but just long enough." Akiko closes her eyes and begins to concentrate. Feeling the rise in Akiko's power, Luvistia asks, "You think that will save you?!" In one swing of her arm Luvistia destroys the cage and sends a huge wave of air at Akiko.

Akiko opens her eyes; instead of being their usual green, they are now a golden yellow just like lightning. Right before the wave hits her, Akiko vanishes. Confused and annoyed Luvistia yells, "Where are you little fairy? Stand still and let me kill you!" "I'm right here!" Akiko's voice echoes throughout the room. A bolt of pink lightning zooms past Luvistia, hitting her. Luvistia is taken back by this unexpected attack.

She looks at the spot where she had been standing, then to herself and finds a large cut on her hip. Still not comprehending what just happened she angrily calls out, "What did you do little fairy? Where did you go?" The same bolt of pink lightning comes racing back, but this time Luvistia was ready. She started to warp the wind around the bolt to make it change directions...

But this time it didn't work!

The bolt once again zooms past Luvistia causing another big cut across her hip. Now really confused she screams, "What have you done!?" "It's simple really" Luvistia looks up and sees Akiko standing in midair, "I concentrated all of my magic into my body, then used it to increase my speed and strength to an all-time high. Doing this with my magic has basically allowed me to become-" "A living lightning bolt" Luvistia finishes in horror. "That's right" Akiko says with a grin on her face, "Now it's time for some payback."

Akiko disappears again and unleashes several more attacks on Luvistia. "ENOUGH" an extremely pissed off Luvistia screams, as she rises into the air. "You have made me angry little fairy. This time I will kill you!" She gathers a large amount of wind around her body until it takes the form of a griffin. "What will you do now? This is my ultimate combination of attack and defense! There is no hope for you" Luvistia's voice booms throughout the room.

Akiko, surprised but not worried, responds, "I guess it's time for the grand finale." Akiko summons four bolts of lightning that become clones of herself. Seeing this, Luvistia yells, "I don't care if it's five, or a hundred you won't defeat me. Akiko and her clones turn into lightning and charge at Luvistia. Luvistia, in her griffin form, flaps her wings creating a shockwave of wind that takes out two of the Akiko clones, then as Akiko and her remaining clones get really close, the griffin spins taking out the final two clones.

Luvistia looks around for the last Akiko. Unable to find her, Luvistia yells out, "WHERE ARE YOU!" " Right here!" Akiko yells as she blasts straight through the griffin and Luvistia. This is followed by several other blasts from all sides. The griffin roars as lightning is going through it from all angles. Akiko stops right in front of the giant griffin. She can clearly see a struggling Luvistia who is trapped inside.

"So how does it feel getting beat by a little fairy" Akiko says with a very angry look. Now in a frantic panic to escape, Luvistia looks at Akiko and yells, "Go to hell!" "After you" Akiko says as she turns into lightning and pierces straight through the beast.

"Léidiàn de Shândiàn Gōngshì"

As she passes through, light starts oozing out of the griffin followed by an explosion that allows a blinding light to fill the room. When the light fades, Luvistia's unconscious body lies in the middle of the room battered and bruised, and on the other side of the room is Akiko in not much better condition. "Two down six to go then" she says panting. She tries to walk but collapses. "I hope the others are doing better" She mumbles before blacking out. Looking back at Luvistia, a red tattoo that was on her chest, in between her breasts, vanishes.

*Twenty Minutes Earlier*

We now see Lucio being blown back. He has burn holes on his clothes and minor burns on his skin below the holes. Gulisto is on the other side of the room with scratches on his huge belly but nothing too serious. He picks up a drumstick from a random pile of food and takes a bite, while chewing he says, "You know with a toothpick like that you're never gonna be able to damage me." Lucio gets up, takes his glasses off, then says, "You may be right, I love this blade; it's a family heirloom, but against a monster like you…I may need to take more drastic measures."

As he rolls up his sleeve, a mysterious tattoo on his forearm is revealed. He lifts up the hair covering his left eye to reveal an eye patch. He removes the eye patch, revealing a glowing green eye. Suddenly, the room trembles and Gulisto can feel Lucio's power rise. Lucio says, "You see unlike my companions I have a horrible time holding back. That's why I have these limiters that do the holding back for me. One to suppress my magic," He lifts up his arm with the tattoo, "And one that limits my access to my armory. NOW! Open the Gates of Heaven and grant me the holy sword!"

The tattoo disappears along with his previous sword and in his hand appears a sword in a gold and crimson scabbard, the hilt of the sword is golden and has a lion head on the end. He unsheathes it to reveal the blade is made of pure gold. Gulisto licks his lips and says, "I've never eaten a sword made of pure gold; sounds tasty." With a serious look, Lucio says, "Well I guess you're gonna have to wait a little while longer." Gulisto eagerly yells, "Come on then!"

Lucio rushes at Gulisto who starts spitting huge balls of mucus and spit at him. Lucio had learned from the past and dodged all of them, as the balls of disgustingness landed they burned huge holes into the floor. Once Lucio was in range, he began his attack.

"Croissant de Lune Barrage!"

Lucio disappears and starts hitting Gulisto several more times in the stomach, but even with the new power release he still does little to no damage. Gulisto grabs him by the head, even though he is moving at an impossible speed, and flings him into a pile of food across the room. Gulisto laughs and says, "You think just because you got a stronger sword you could get through my belly defense." A still determined Lucio says, "It doesn't matter. Eventually it'll work and I'll finish you!" He then lunges at him once more and does the same move.

Gulisto allows the chain of events to happen a few more times before he's bored of it. "Enough! Time I finish you!" He yells as he lifts his head and a huge magic circle appears above him. All the food starts to be sucked into his mouth. Lucio just stands there battered and bruised, but doesn't seems to be worried. Once all the food has been ingested, Gulisto looks down on Lucio and says, "Ready to die fool!?" He then belches a humongous beam of...disgustingness at Lucio.

Quick to react, Lucio puts his blade up to block the attack, which seems impossible. Gulisto laughs and says, "What do you think that toothpick will do?" The beam impacts the sword and Gulisto thinks he's won, but a few seconds later he notices that the beam is shrinking. Confused by what's occurring, Gulisto looks more closely and sees Lucio's sword absorbing the beam. Soon, the beam is no more and Lucio stands with his sword that is now glowing red.

"W-what is that thing and what did you do!?" Gulisto asks being way more tired than he usually is after doing that attack. "It's simple really. This sword is named Grand Lion Crocs which means Great Lion Fang. One thing you two have in common is that it has a great hunger and feeds off of my opponent's energy. So, can you guess how it does that?" Gulisto now realizing what he has done says, "So that's why you kept on attacking even though it was futile: you were feeding that thing!" Lucio snaps his fingers and says, "Bingo and thanks to that last attack he's full and ready for action." Terrified Gulisto tries to move, but doesn't have the energy.

Lucio starts to walk towards him as his blade starts to change from a standard Viking sword to a great-sword made of pure energy; he says, "It was your hunger that led to your ultimate down fall. Now prepare to die!" He lunges at a terrified Gulisto who can only scream, "NO!" Right before he runs into Gulisto, Lucio calls out:

"Sept Grèves des Cieux!"

Lucio does one solid, clean strike landing on the other side of Gulisto. Lucio puts his sword, which is now back to its original form and not glowing, back in its scabbard. Just as the last piece of the blade is sealed, seven huge slashes appear on Gulisto's body. He falls to the ground dead.

Lucio puts his sword away and falls down right where he was standing. "Too bad the sword also drains the wielders power as well" Lucio mumbles to himself. "Good luck you guys" He mumbles before blacking out. After he blacks out, a black tattoo that was on Gulisto's stomach disappears.


Sept Grèves des Cieux = Seven Strikes of Heaven

Léidiàn de Shândiàn Gōngshì = Raiden's Lightning Barrage

Croissant de Lune Barrage = Crescent Moon Barrage
