Apollo strolled through the Underworld, his heavy footsteps causing multiple demons to scurry out of the way. Behind him followed Chris, Miya, and Ariana. He glanced back at the group and sighed.

"My dear comrades," he began, "Thank you for helping me and bringing me to where I am now." Miya furrowed her brow at this and inched back, the movement not going unnoticed by Apollo. "Why Miya, surely you don't think that I'd turn my back on my battle partners?" he drawled upset. Miya stood straight and searched his face for any lies.

"No your Highness. I must have confused this moment for a different vision. Forgive me sir." She bowed slightly and stood back up. Apollo's face remained stoic of emotion but Miya caught sight of an emotion fleaing through, what exactly, she isn't sure. Apollo nodded and turned back to the Underworld.

Below him, the ground was a deep red caused by the blood of tortured spirits. Random screams filled the Underworld as Apollo glanced beyond the cliff. The buildings seemed to be crumbling in the distance with only seven towers still standing tall. They were old buildings, with columns and dome ceilings. Criss crossing each tower was a chain with blue sparks lighting up every once in a while.

"Do you understand the meaning of the seven towers?" Apollo asked nonchalantly. After a moment of silence, Chris spoke up.

"The Seven Deadly Sins. Each tower houses a sin which are locked inside due to the curse placed by the Natus. But why does that matter?"

"The curse is weakening dear comrade. Soon, the Sins will be able to run rampant in the world they were born in."


"Kylie!" Marisol yelled out as she blocked another hit. She glanced to the side and saw Kylie pushing herself off the floor. She turned back to catch a Wendigo baring its antlers at her and Marisol grabbed her daggers, plunging them in it's eye. With a squirt of black blood mixed with other juices, the Wendigo disappeared. A sigh escaped Marisol's lips as she rushed to help Kylie out with a stubborn Harpy, who seemed unable to understand the concept of death it seemed.

"Marisol, where's the rest of the team?!" Kylie yelled out, slashing at a demon that inched too close on her.

"I don't know! I came here right away and didn't catch anyone!" Marisol yelled back. She heard Kylie mutter a dark, 'Fuck this' and pushed Marisol behind her. Kylie immediately thrust her hands out and uttered a spell. Marisol gaped at her and saw as how each monster yelled and withered before falling into a pile of sand on the ground. "You aren't supposed to use dark magic!" Marisol told her accusingly.

"I've gotten better with controlling the other me, c'mon, we need to find the rest of the gang." Marisol sighed but nodded, moving quickly beside Kylie. 

"Candy! Move!" Arianna yelled out, lunging herself to the left while Candy lunged right.

"Where's Diana?!" Candy demanded, pushing herself up and slicing at a demon nearby.

"I don't know! What are we going to do with these demons?! We can't hold them off forever!" Ariana growled back, swinging her scythe and cutting off three demon heads.

"We fall back," Candy muttered, stepping back. Arianna looked at her as if she was crazy but stepped back too. "C'mon! I got a plan!" Candy yelled before running off, Arianna close behind her.

"What's the plan?" Arianna asked Candy.

"We drown them."

"What?"

"We build a forcefield around them and either drown them or set them on fire, I'm not sure yet," Candy responded easily. Arianna stared at her quizzically but agreed.

"Fine. I'll follow your lead." Candy smirked at that response and nodded. Time to find Diana to get this plan in action. Quickly, Candy made a sharp left at the end of the hallway and pushed herself harder to run faster.

"Arianna, quick! Fly off and tell the rest of the girls the plan and head towards training room Tribus!" Candy demanded as she took another sharp turn. With a nod, Arianna spread her wings and flew off, searching for the rest of the crew. Almost immediately, Arianna saw a tuft of dark blue wings and she smiled.


Something wasn't sitting right with Miya. Over and over again, her visions are telling her something, but she can't tell what. It's just telling her of a betrayal that will happen soon but she doesn't know which side it'll happen. Someone will be betrayed, and someone will have to escape. Miya sighed and ran her hand through her long black hair, hoping for her visions to give her answers instead of just leaving her in the dark. But alas, since she's half human and half Vetal, her human side messes with her creature side. Not to mention being a banished Volatus as well. Miya stood up from her bed and started pacing, wishing for her visions to be more clear.

"Miya?" a soft voice called out, causing Miya to jump slightly.

"Ariana, what are you doing here? I didn't even hear you walk in," Miya told her friend before motioning Ariana inside her room. She stuck her head out and looked around, making sure that no one else was in the halls. Once she saw the coast clear, she closed the door and locked it. Turning back, she saw Ariana eating cookies. Miya gave her a deadpanned look before walking over and taking it from her and plopping it in her mouth.

"Hey! I was eating that!" Ariana whined.

"And you're allergic. Plus you didn't answer my question."

"Fine. I saw you out of it when Lord Apollo took us to see the Seven Towers. Plus the way he responded to you stepping back is a bit worrisome. A penny for your thoughts?" Ariana asked as she laid back on the bed.

Miya opened her mouth and was about to respond until she saw a dark corner. Miya sighed and placed a hand on her hips. "Come out now Chris. You know I hate it when you eavesdrop." With a moment of nothing happening, the black shadow shifted and revealed a lean man, his dirty blonde hair sat on his head messily.

"Sorry," Chris apologized, moving to sit next to Ariana. Miya sighed and waved it off. She took a deep sigh.

"I might as well as tell both of you so that we can plan our next step."

"Without Apollo?" Ariana asked incredulously. Miya nodded and breathed in deeply. 

"I—" Miya hesitates and takes in Chris' worried face. "I keep on getting visions and it's frustrating."

Ariana glanced at Chris before moving closer to Miya. "What do they say?"

"They tell me that someone is going to be betrayed."

"Who is?" Chris asked. Miya glanced at the two and struggled to find the words.

"Miya," Ariana inclined.

"I think Apollo is going to betray us."
