Chapter 24 - Family Needs Family ALL

It was the same dream with the same people at the same location. The only dream they will ever have. The dream in HADES. The seven demons stood in the same position as the first time and their father 'Lacertus the Crystal Dragon' stood before them with his big shining eyes.

SLOTH: 𝘐𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘥! 𝘐 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘨𝘶𝘺𝘴! Belphegor was happy for one second until he relized, 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘯...

ENVY: "Wait wha...!" Levi was shocked from Belphegor's thoughts.

WRATH: "Idiot! Why did you put the ring on! Don't you you get it?! Our father is our rival! Stan was angry, becaus of Belphegor's stupidity. "Unless this is an emergency, you fucked up!"

SLOTH: 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘐 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵?! Belphegor screamed.

WRATH: "I left you a letter! Were you to slothful to read it or something?! And how did you not figure that I killed Martin! I am number six and you are seven!" Stan could not stand Belphegor's sloth.

LUST: "Dramaaaaa..." Asmodeus said.

SLOTH: 𝘠𝘰𝘶... "You killed Martin!! Belphegor ran towards Stan and punched him in his face.

PRIDE: Lucifer got between the two and ordered, "Belphegor enough!"

SLOTH: "He killed him!" Belphegor lost his strength and let himself fall on the sharp ground and tears started to roll over his face. "He killed him..." 𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦? 𝘏𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴. 𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘪𝘮!

PRIDE: "I'm sorry Belphegor, but it had to be done eventually." Lucifer placed his hand on Belphegor's shoulder. "Martin was an obstacle and I did not trust the man at all. He was doing everything I asked without thinking and I never even met him before. Also... we are demons... killing is what we do. We are born evil and we have to kill to become stronger."

SLOTH: 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘰 𝘤𝘳𝘶𝘦𝘭

GREED: "I think I am with Lucifer on this one. We have to kill everyone we see. I want all the power we can gather." Mammon agreed with Lucifer.

PRIDE: "We should not kill anybody we see. We do not know what is out there. If we triger any alarms we will probably die. Well I will find a way out with ease of course, but don't take to much risks."

SLOTH: 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘨𝘶𝘺𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴...

ENVY: "I don't like this idea... but I think we have to... we are demons after all." Levi did not want Martin to die, but he knew it could not be avoided anyway.

LUST: "Don't look so serious you guys... Why don't just get out of that silly village and start our adventure?" Asmodeus was bored of the village and just wanted to explore the large world.

PRIDE: "We will Asmodeus, but we have to collect the Family Sword first."

GREED: "Agreed! Who lost the sword anyway?" Mammon asked.

WRATH: "Our slothful idiot over here," Stan said pointing at Belphegor.

SLOTH: "I was panicked! Why do we need that sword anyway? To kill more?!" Belphegor countered.

GLUTTONY: "Ehm..." Belzu was shaking the whole time. "We can also get try to be friends..."

WRATH: 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨.

𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘉𝘦𝘦𝘻𝘭𝘦𝘣𝘶𝘣. 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘦r.

WRATH: "Hold up! Before you tell any of your mysterious sayings. Why did you want us to become stronger than you? If you want to use us as puppets to entertain you, I refuse your desires!" Stan was not the only one who wanted to know the answer on the big 'why' question. Every demon waited for the dragon's response.

𝘝𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭... 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘙𝘦𝘶𝘣𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘦. Lacertus's reason with all this was to end his own life.

Everyone went silence from that answer except for...

LUST: "If you want to die so badly, do it yourself. I'm not gonna make my hands dirty for your desire." However Asmodeus's words sounded kind of cruel, he was deadly serious about this question and every demon agreed with it.

𝘐𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘮𝘦. 𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘐 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘮𝘺 𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦. 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘐 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘙𝘦𝘶𝘣𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘸 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘮𝘦.

GREED: "Then why did you gave us just one percentage of your power? If you want us to kill you that badly, why did you not give us the full hundred percentage?" No one knew if Mammon spoke out of intelligence or greed.

𝘏𝘮𝘮... 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘚𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵. 𝘐 𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘙𝘦𝘶𝘣𝘦𝘯 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘺 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵.

WRATH: Pffft!

GREED: "But why should we do what you say? What is in it for us?

𝘚𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘙𝘦𝘶𝘣𝘦𝘯𝘴 𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘣𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘰, 𝘙𝘦𝘶𝘣𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘢𝘴 𝘧𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘢.

Reuben will be able to live forever by killing The Crystal Dragon.

WRATH: "Killing you will gives us infinite time?" After Stan lost al motivation of killing Lacertus, he got it all back with that one word 'immortality.'

GREED: "...The Six Great Beasts." Mammon interrupted.

LUST: "Nerd!"

LUST: "Hahaha, loser!" Asmodeus laughed at Mammons failed interruption.

GREED: "Oh shut up!" Mammon was irritated by Asmodeus's behavior. Well it was kind of his specialty to be annoying.

SLOTH: "𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘉𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘴?"

WRATH: "Why don't you read sometimes idiot!"

PRIDE: "Excuse me father. Since Satan killed Martin, how strong did we get from him?

𝘍𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘐 𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦. 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘯 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘦. 𝘏𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭, 𝘩𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳... 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘯'𝘴 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘻𝘦𝘳𝘰 𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵 𝘧𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘺 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘴.

GREED: "So that equals our fire power to one point five percentage."

PRIDE: "Martin was a weakling. Killing him was a waste," Lucifer sighed.

SLOTH: "Wait what... Are you telling me Martin died for nothing?" Belphegor was in shock of Lucifers words.

PRIDE: "Basically yes."

SLOTH: "M-martin died for nothing..." Belphegor was on the point to turn crazy when Belzu interrupted.

GLUTONNY: "He did not die for nothing Belphegor. Every percentage counts right?" Belzu tried to calm Belphegor, however...

SLOTH: "I see... So you are on their side as well, huh?"

GLUTTONNY: "I'm not say..."

SLOTH: "So you think Martin was a stepping stone?! I hate you! I hate all of you!!" Belphegor felt hatred, he loved Martin, he wanted to live with him forever.

WRATH: "Shut your mouth!"

ENVY: "You can't just escape destiny."

SLOTH: "So this is what everyone expects from me huh?" 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘥𝘰 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘨𝘶𝘺𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰. 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦. Belphegor sat on the floor and said nothing more.

Belzu and Levi felt bad for Belphegor, but Asmodeus, Lucifer and Mammon did not care too much. Only Stan was happy with it, he finally got him to accept it (sort of).

GLUTTONY: "Ehm... I think we should call each other by nicknames. Martin already asked to me about one." Belzu tried to change the conversation in something nicer.

ENVY: "Yeah me too, I'm Levi by the way."

WRATH: "I had chosen for Stan."

LUST: "I still like the name Daddy. No I'm just kidding, call me Asmo."

GREED: "I want to be called Momo!"

PRIDE: "Lucian."

ENVY: "Wow... I wish I could've called me Lucian."

PRIDE: "Cool right."

GLUTTONY: "Nice to meet you all. I am Belzu." Belzu looked at Belphegor and said, "and what is your name?"

SLOTH: However Belphegor was still mad, he kind of liked this conversation with his brothers. It was how he actually wanted his family to be like. 𝘐... 𝘐'𝘮 𝘈𝘭𝘱𝘩.

GLUTTONY: "Nice to meet you too Alph."

After a lot of fighting, the seven demons finally stared to talk nice too each other. They were brothers. They were brothers for always and had to work with each other. If there is someone they should count on, it is each other. Caus after a long time searching they finally found their real family. They were Reuben. They were The Seven Deadly Sins. They were FAMILY.
