(editting) Minecraft's 7 Deadly Sins

94: False Memories

Envy's eyes slowly opened. "What just happened?" he muttered. He was falling and the last thing he remembers was everything turning black. He sat up and then touched his face and chest, realizing he was still alive and breathing. Before he could call out to check on Jason and the others, his head throbbed.

"W-what..." He recalled things–as if old memories were resurfacing. His time in the Overworld, hanging out with the other Virtues... He was pulled into the Mirror Realm and then come face-to-face with... himself. These memories and the emotions that came from them intertwined with his own, making it seem as if they were really his.

Envy knew better, his face twisting in realization. What he was remembering were Jason's memories. The warmth and happiness that he had 'recalled' was not his.

Of course... It's reasonable that Jason was happy a lot... Envy told himself. He couldn't help but feel jealous, the same feelings that he had at the beginning. In the more recent memories, he felt the same warm and fuzzy feelings.

Jason... The Virtue had truly seen him as one of his friends. Envy can feel himself tearing up. He paused, realizing that now isn't the time for this. He took a look around, unable to figure out where he was.

"This... is this the result of the merge?" The area was in disarray with debris littered across the region from buildings, trees, and alike. The sky isn't completely gray like in the Mirror Realm, instead, it has a touch of blue. "The two regions merged but I didn't know our memories would merge too..."

"Jason... everyone–are you alright?" Envy called out.

"Ugh... Acheron...?" Jason's voice seems to be coming from nearby. His eyes went to a pile of rubble, seeing Jason's arm sticking out. He hurried over, pulling the Virtue out. Envy breathes a sigh of relief as it looks like Jason only got minor scratches.

It didn't make sense–they were falling downwards yet somehow managed to be on the ground safely. The merging must have saved us... had the Mirror Realm collapsed in on itself... Envy doesn't even want to think about it.

"Why... what... what am I...?" Jason grimaced as his head pounded. "I... I remember you, Acheron... wh-what is—"

Before he could finish his sentence, someone let out a shout. The two looked over to see Ant and Brice.

"I-I'm dead!" Ant shouted out, eyes wide with shock. "I got into an accident a long time ago... y-yet I'm still here..."

"Seto... and everyone..." Brice whispered, tearing up. "I... I remember... that I passed away..."

Of course, it's not just Virtues and Sins, everyone would have their memories merged. "Calm down, everyone! These memories and emotions—it's just what your counterpart had experienced!" Envy exclaimed quickly. "They're not yours!"

"Not... mine...?" Sky repeated as he let the emotions that he 'remembered' sink in. All of his counterpart's emotions, feelings, and thoughts had become one with Sky. He couldn't help but feel bad for Wrath.

"M-my head..." Ty slowly got up and pain shot through his body. "O-ouch!"

"Ty... is... is that you?!" Sky called out as he sees Ty struggling to stand on his feet. He couldn't see any indications that Pride was there–no purple eyes, horns, wings, or tail. "Are you back?!"

"Sky...?" Ty tried to smile but all he could do was grimace. "You... I was... I was fighting you... and...?" He was extremely confused. It was so hard to think about, especially with the pain and headache. He collapses to his knees, feeling faint.

Sky was about to call Jason but he was already coming over. "Ty! I'm so glad you're alright!" Jason cried out. He hasn't seen him in a while. "Oh–y-your injuries! What happened?! Just stay still, I'll heal you as fast as I can."
