Chapter 12 - Heavenly Virtues

The seven all awaken. Confused about where this mysterious place may be.

"Wha" Alice awakens "Gasp" she runs over to Dillia."

"Dillia you ok."

"Am alright milady."

"Thank goodness," Alice says holding and hugging Dillia in her arms. As both smile.

"Everyone alright. "June asks.

"Yeah should be, what is this place," Mae says with her hand on her head. Mae looks around and see's a sea of stars and the universe.

"In one piece," Chonsee replies.

"Damn, that combo was pretty deadly," Marx says.

"Where are we and who are you?" Everett asks.

"The Edge of the Universe. I am The Almighty one. The one who brought life The almighty one who knows all." The man says. He proceeds to create these images and tells a story.

"In the beginning, there was the universe. I created all of Adam and Eve. The Garden of Eden. This planet has all the galaxies, life, and death. There are 7 heavenly virtues Courage, diligence, Respect, Honor, Justice, Kindness, and Loyalty. With these heavenly virtues, 7 deadly sins were created Pride, Sloth, Envy, Lust, Wrath, and Gluttony. In those times the gods and the demons from hell fought my 4 angels of light vs their 4 horsemen of the apocalypse. And of course the virtues vs deadly sins."

The Almighty One then turns to the 7 young mages. "You seven have been chosen to defeat these 7 evils once again." Everett steps up "So you're telling us we have to fight these 7 demon lords to protect not only these islands but the whole world too?".

"Wait that's crazy," Marx says.

The group is conflicted with this revelation.

"So if we stop these 7 demon lords and the gate to the underworld the people who got sick will be cured," June asks.

"Yes," the Almighty One says. June with a fiery look of determination.

"What if we're not successful in this," Chonsee asks. "Then life as you know it will cease."

"How long do have to complete this task?" Mae asks the group.

"7 months."

"Almost half a year. "Marx says.

"Is that enough time?" Chonsee says.

"It may be sooner if we don't act quickly," The Almighty One says.

The group with thoughts running through their minds. Alice steps forward. "HEY, Almighty One how do we know that you're telling the truth and not tricking us."

"Lying is a sin I cannot Lie," the Almighty One says.

"So all we have to do is stop the 7 demon lords and 4 riders of the apocalypse."

"Yes, sir Everett that is correct."

"Do you even what it takes to beat him with our current powers."

"Good question sir Everett. "I will now bestow you all the virtues you have been assigned. With your never-back-down attitude and no fear I present you Everett C Sage Virtue of Courage." An orange sigil shaped like a C with a sword in it surrounded by 6 stars gets implanted on his forearm. "I've also granted you this." A sword appears floating in front of Everett. The legendary 7-branched sword. As you grow stronger each of the 7 edges of this blade will unlock a new power.

"Woah."

"With the respect you give adults and your peers Marx Cortez the Virtue of Respect". Yellow sigil glows with thunder and a Re with 6 stars around it. It gets engraved on his calf.

"Sick. Do I get a sword too?" Marx asks.

"Marx your abilities have also improved as well so you should be able to conjure up one" This goes for everyone who turns into a Virtue your Magic Rank is now Class A or greater. "You will also gain halos."

"With the Justice, you wish to serve June Juniper I grant you the title of Virtue of Justice." A green sigil goes on her neck as it has the wind drawings with a J with 6 stars around it.

"Alright, this will help me defeat the ones behind this," June says.

Alice and Dillia look upon as the 3 who had just received their virtues.

"What of us oh almighty one," Alice asks.

The almighty one turns and looks at Alice and Dillia.

"Ah yes, the heir in the Alexandria family and her assistant I was about to get to you two."

Two sigils appear in front of them a red and a blue one. The two gradually fall onto both Alice and Dillia. The red has a H surrounded by 6 stars in the back along with graphics of flames on it. That appears on her right hand. On the other hand blue holds a L also with the stars in the back as well this appears on Dillia's left hand.

"The Virtue of Honor will be bestowed upon you, Ms.Alexandria. With the honor you serve as the heir of the Alexandria family, it's only fitting that you can have. Alice looks surprised and confused. As for you Dillia you'll be granted The Virtue of Loyalty. Your sworn loyalty to always be with Ms.Alice and to protect her is almost meant for you."

"Wow, this power milady," Dillia says.

Alice snaps outta that trance that she was in. "Right, now I can crush that cocky assassin girl by myself."

June looks upon Alice with concern.

The Almighty one gives an "ok" expression and moves on to Mae.

"Miss Takeo. The Virtue of Kindness has found its place with you. The sigil glows purple with a K and 6 stars around it like the others with a galaxy dimension effect to it. It appears on her outer left thigh.

"You should be able to do more than just stay in the background." Almighty One says.

"Amazing," Mae says.

He then turns and looks over to Chonsee.

"The final and seventh sigil belongs to you Mr.Chonsee with your quick wits and your ability to think on the spot I display The Virtue of Dilliegence to you" A white sigil appears and sticks gets placed onto Chonsee's shoulder. It has images of trees and overall nature in them. This is located on Chonesee's left arm.

"ALRIGHT"

"Remember Chonsee you are the land make use of it. Almighty one says.

He then comes in the center as the 7 virtues now tune in to listen to what he has to say.

"Now the sins are not to be taken lightly if you thought those Order of the 7 members were tough it's nothing. Each of the seven sins can open a reality marble. A pocket of space in which they can reign. Luckily for you guys, the sins will need some time to regain their full strength. Since there possess the 7 dead bodies that they were given their magic need to be charged back up. This gives you guys ample time to prepare for their first assault."

The 7 virtues listen attentively to the speaker. Like students listening to their teacher, they all took this into account and kept this in mind.

The Almighty one continues to speak. "The sins aren't the only issue too when the time comes the 4 riders of the Apocolypse will arrive as well. Not only them but any other demon may come out. Which is why I currently bestowed others powers from the other Isles as well. Although they won't be like you guys, these helpers have possessed vessels to allow them to be there. First Adam and Eve, will have both awakened. They are at Twin Star Valley Island. While my 4 arch angels are housed at Stardrium Isle. Remember your island isn't the only one at stake this entire island chain and the world as well.

The 7 realize what they have to do. The 7 turn to each other and form a circle.

"We got this guys!" Everett says.

"Since we got these upgrades we can do it," Marx says.

"Let's go," Chonsee says.

"I'll give it my best," Mae says.

"Anything to save the world," June says.

"I will truly save the world and show them the strength of the heir of the Alexandria family," Alice speaks.

"I'll aid you milady," Dillion says.

"Excellent, you 7 will be brought back to the temple at that time the sins will soon arrive don't be distracted try your best to fend them off. When they flee. We'll take more after.

"YES," all 7 say.

"Good luck my virtues the weight of the world is on your shoulders". The Almighty one taps the ground and the seven regain their consciousness.

Back at the temple, the 4 orders of the 7 members await the arrival of the 7 princes.

"They're almost here," Xella says. "Closer and closer," Dxn says.

"Be quiet Luxk is almost done," Alexia says.

Luxk looks back at the bodies and his eyes widen. The rest of the Order of the 7 are in shock.

"WAIT just a moment"

The seven are on their feet ready to take battle. The seven virtues glow and illuminate an Orange, Yellow, Green, Red, Blue, Purple, and White coat of magic around their bodies.

Everett steps forward and puts his hand in front of him. He summons the legendary 7-branched sword the Shichishitō and points at the Order of the 7 members.

"We are The Seven Heavenly Virtues and we came to put an end to this," Everett states proudly as Order 6 gets ready for battle as part 2 ensues against Order 7.
