Lilith
After spending nearly four thousand dollars in a scanty hour and a half, Lucifer's messenger finally found them.
"Viki! Come along, darling; your uncle needs us. Grover, you can take our things back to the room. Thank you for all of your trouble."
She looked up from the graphic novel she'd been reading, a cute little pout already forming on her lips. We should break her of that habit. Can't have our little girl turning into a greedy little thing. That'd be worse then a prude.
"But Aunt Lilith..."
Lilith's voice hardened into a sharp whip.
"Now, Viki. And put that lip of yours away. It is starting to annoy me and you most certainly do not want that."
Viki put the novel away and it amused Lilith to discover that it was an adult graphic novel in a language that Viki almost certainly did not speak. She and Lilith hurried off to the control room.

Justice
Justice remained kneeling though he had stopped praying in a long dead language. The gleaming sword, it was actually Excalibur, before him solid and ready to do it holy work.
"I've heard that poem before. The only one I've heard from that man." Justice raised his eyes to the door and waited, he started counting milliseconds, he knew that he would have to plunge that deadly blade into an innocent person, but it was the only way. The path of peace is stained with the blood of Martyrs.
"It begins." The door exploded inwards, splinters warping around Justice's body, a field of light keeping potentially deadly shards from hitting him.
"I have Wrath." Two flaming black swords came down onto Excalibur's shining blade.
"You vile beast, your minutes are numbered. Prepare to return to the hole you came." Justice pushed the sin from him and they began a deadly dance of swords.

Wrath
"Kill, that's all we need to do, kill everything between us and her." Wrath front kicked the door to the room, it was a reinforced steel door, it splintered like wood. He charged the kneeling Virtue and thought he had an easy kill. That gleaming blade. That gleaming blade had ended one of his most loyal followers.
"I see you have brought your Master's holy blade back to the plain of the living. I'll see it shattered." Wrath was pushed back, but then he found his footing and began pushing Justice back.

Lucifer
Lucifer had a bird's Eye view of the destruction in Las Vegas. It was quite interesting and then it switched to one of the new ball robots. It was controlled by a ranger about ten miles away. The picture was growing fuzzy as it neared the extreme power being expended. The door to the room opened and he turned. It was his girls.
"Love, what do you think of the modifications. The Staff decided to melt under the pressure. So I replaced them with some familiar faces." He motioned to the skeletal guards standing around the room. He chuckled as the image on screen went blank.
"Send in a squad and have them report back what is happening. Greed is on his way there to neutralize Wrath and Envy." He was speaking to the Colonel now in charge of the battalion.

Lilith
"Hullo again, boys."
Lilith gave them a smile, ignoring the whimpering of their innocent and frightened little Viki, who was clinging to Lilith's arm desperately. She joined Lucifer at the console, watching the tiny colored dots move and weave through the destruction.
"Just Greed? Sweetie, there are two Virtues down there as well. Justice and Strength. Are you sure he can handle all four? Wrath and Envy are good, but they can't kill the two virtues. At least not alone. Why doesn't Lust go and help him? Those two would be more then enough for the survivors."

Envy
"Hullo again, b***h. You owe me a ******** gun."
Envy pushed into the room, and then was yanked rudely back against the the wall near shattered door; hundreds of needle fine slivers of metal and other things embedded themselves in her emaciated body. She bite back a howl of pain and pulled one of the slivers from her eye, calling on the power from the city to push out the rest and heal up. Envy grinned and climbed back to her feet.
"Clever. But this is my city, and you are in the way of something I want. And nothing stops me from getting something I want; it is in my nature."
She cut off her words abruptly when Ysane closed the distance between them.

Ysane Ixil
Ysane gave a hard smile when she saw Envy stumble into a one of the many traps around the room...although the smile did fade away when the Sin pushed the shards out of her body, healing up perfectly in moments. In his city, she's practically invincible. What now? She lept to the attack, her swords a whirling pattern, just missing Envy by hair distances...or not at all, in some cases. The red lines (often opening to the white of the bone) closing as soon as they appeared.

Lucifer
"If I was going to send Lust I would send Pride, since they have cozzied up together. No greed will do. Sin City is rife with Greed and Envy, and so he will be filled to the brim. The two virtues should be either dead or weakened and vice verse for our former allies." Lucifer watched as the gold dot that represented Greed grew closer to the battleground.
"Come here Viki, there's nothing to be afraid of, this is just our real home, soon to be your home. You'll be the second living being invited to live here, immortal, powerful." The little girl pulled away and ran into his arms.
"My little princess, only three months. You'll be the most perfect hellion for my son." Lucifer held her in his arm as he wrapped one around Lilith.
"Then I will take the Diamond throne and rule the universe. All shall be well, for revenge will be had, the humans will be in their place and I will look upon them with joy as they slave away to make my existence easier." Lucifer stated to chuckle, it was evil and dark and Viki whimpered at the sound.

Wrath
Wrath was again on the defensive when his foot touched something, he glanced down, there was nothing. Then a spike exploded through his foot. The raging inferno built, closing to the peak limit before it would blow through his body. The spike melted, even the holy power that made it yielding to rage.
"You know what, I'm not going to kill Strength, I'm going to sodomize her, over and over till she begs for me to make her c**, then I'll cut off her c**t and feed it to her. I'll leave her in the streets with a sign that says rape me. Yeah." Wrath laughed as Justice faltered, then instead of acting with divine power reacted to sinful hate. It fueled Wrath and he turned the hate into a blazing inferno around his black swords and began driving Justice to the wall.

Justice
Justice realized he was being baited and yet he took it anyway. Even Angels sometimes faltered when provoke past their breaking point. Lucifer was testament to that, and his ilk. Justice remembered that at one point Wrath and Envy had been Angels, then they had been corrupted, lied to and turned into these monsters. Justice forced the rage from his mind and let the clean light of the holy father filter in. He stopped retreating and brought Wrath to a dead-lock. Justice couldn't win, it was time to provoke them, bait them into mistakes.
"You cannot bait me anymore you foul thing. I am Justice and it is time you have some shown to you. I shall enact the ultimate Justice." Wrath was thrown away by a forced channeling of power and wings burst from Justice's back, real ones as Salvador's body was given the ultimate change. He walked over to Kandy and held his sword over her heart.
"The path to peace is bathed in the blood of the Martyr. Let this innocent life hasten the victory that is ours." The blade plunged, but a black blade stopped it." Justice looked at Wrath, the leer there turned him away. Wrath spoke now.
"That trick won't work twice Justice, you pulled that off when I was Zeus." Wrath started powering the now changed Justice to the wall.

Lilith
"It's alright, Viki; he won't hurt us here. It's our home."
Lilith dropped a hand onto Viki's shoulder, caressing the skin gently there. Slowly, she could feel the trembling in Viki cease and the girl was looking around her with wide eyes.
"Keep in mind the so called prophesy, how we will only rule for seven years before god comes again. When we put Him down, we need to make sure He stays down."

Ysane Ixil
Ysane heard Wrath's words, nay, his threats, but dismissed them almost immediately. 'There is no emotion, there is peace. Keep your head, Justice.' She jumped back from a sudden lunge from Envy; the former over extended and ran across yet another trap. Ysane left the sin to free herself from the caltrop, and hurried towards Kandy; Justice had already sanctified her, all that was left was the actual killing. Ysane's twin swords began their decent.

Envy
Envy grinned and pressed the attack, not caring about her own personal well being; she'd just heal up as quickly as it happened. She took the bait from one of Ysane's many feints and stumbled when the Virtue wasn't where she was supposed to be; her foot meet a hard, metal caltrop. Envy bit back a curse; the thing intruded into a place where it shouldn't be. She ripped her leg off of the spiked and barbed trap, leaving a good deal of her flesh with it.

Lucifer
Lucifer manipulated the screen with gestures and it changed to the POV cameras on the rangers, who were not rangers anymore. They were skeletal warriors from his army. He watched as they neared the building and saw the carnage caused by Wrath. It was stomach churning to normal humans. Then he heard words, Justice from the intonation. He set Viki down and listened intently. He rewound the words and amplified them and then smirked.
"They are going to sacrifice an Innocent to stop Wrath and Envy from corrupting her. How quaint, but, I've never seen the same trick work on Wrath twice." Lucifer turned away and opened a massive tome on a podium. It was a list of every body possessed by him or one of his sins. He turned to Greece and found the name of Zeus, that had had been Lucifer himself and Wrath had been Ares.
"Right there they sacrificed the Oracle of Delphi and it broke our power." Lucifer recalled the incident and knew that Wrath would work to stop it.

Wrath
Wrath brought his blade around and stopped another attack from Justice. He lashed out with a front kick and the virtue cratered the wall. Wrath turned and saw the twin swords start to drop and he moved, a swirling motion brought both blades up and locked with his.
"You two are starting to get annoying I'm getting pissed off." Flames weren't just licking from the blades, they were coming from his nose, eyes and mouth. Green flames licked from his hands and white ones had replaced his hair.
"Let's finish this." Wrath blurred at the edges and then he was two, not really though. He had moved fast enough to attack both of them at the same time.
