~~~ Y/N POV ~~~

     I saw someone swinging a sword at me. I lifted my hand and caught it. I looked at this person with wide eyes.

???: "No one has managed to catch my blade before. Not when I am enhanced to this degree. I commend you for that. I guess this does mean that this will be a great fight."

     The person smiled as they tried to reel their sword back, and then frowned when they found that they couldn't pry it from my hands. The took their fist and clenched it, swinging at my stomach, I let go of the sword and jumped back. They stumbled back as the sword suddenly swung up.

???: "Hmm, I guess we could save the spar for some other time, but for now, we must welcome you back to the group. Gluttony."

(y/n): "What? Wait, you're one of the 7, oh, I remember now. I actually had a hard time recognizing you with this light. You were, you were 1, Purple."

Pride: "The name is Pride, excuse you. Now we haven't much time, Lust will be back soon, and they, well no offense, but they want to rip your head off."

(y/n): "Oh is that all?"

Pride: "Interesting reaction."

(y/n): "Honestly, I have been through so much I already feel like my head has been ripped off many time. Getting shot through the brain doesn't help."

     They stopped and looked at me, looking me up and down, before smirking and continuing.

Pride: "Very few can say they were shot in the head and survived."

(y/n): "Also, by the way, while I don't exactly get the murdery vibe from you, I just wanted to know. Why don't you want to kill me?"

Pride: "Well this is a rare occasion, one of us managed to die, and yet live on at the same time. Whether you like it or not, you are the new Glutton. He is apart of you until you die."

     As we exited the throne room I saw a pile of blood and a gruesome body next to the doorway. I grimaced and reeled back.

Pride: "Yes, of all of the sins, Gluttony is I would say, the ugliest."

     I looked at them.

(y/n): "I did that? Not again."

Pride: "Yes, you will get used to it. We all naturally were able to accept and become the sins that were planted into us, being original hosts, but I did not realize that the same could not be said for future generations."

     We made it to another room, there were four other people there. One of them was Envy, the one who tried to take my abilities. Another one stood up, she made her way toward me.

Wrath: "It seems you gave Envy there a bit of a scare. Something about being too hard to handle."

Pride: "Oh trust me Wrath, they stopped my blade, with their bare hand at that."

     The two others, who were minding their own business looked my way.

Wrath: "Really now? Just now? In the other room. Damn, that's some power."

Pride: "Oh please, you caught my blade before."

Wrath: "Yes, but you have a lot more followers now. This could be interesting."

(y/n): "Is it really that big of a deal?"

Pride: "Oh trust me, it's a big deal."

     I looked around the room. I wonder what they would think if I told them, that I actually have the ability to stop almost any attack. One of the two people I haven't met yet stood up. She frowned.

Greed: "So, you really are one of those gems. A successful experiment then?"

(y/n): "What?"

Greed: "I have been trying to take that eye of yours ever since you walked in. The fact that it isn't in my hands is proof that you are the real deal. So how many experiments did it take to perfect?"

(y/n): "None. I was not an experiment. Just an accidental product of war."

Pride: "This is taking too long. We need to get the introduction over with before the buzz kill comes in and ruins it."

Wrath: "Yeah yeah. I can't wait for the spar."

(y/n): "The what? Wait I never really agreed to this."

Pride: "Well again, whether you like it or not, you are Gluttony, and now you will be officially recognized as a sin after the party."

(y/n): "What party?"

Wrath: "The blood party!"

Pride: "We did not agree to call it that. It's just a party we like to have every now and then, so we decided that if someone were to join somehow, like an 8th sin, then we would introduce them to the group with the said party. And at the end of the party, is one person is chosen to be the defender, and they must defend against the rest of the sins until either they are knocked out, or until morning comes."

Envy: "We are all excited to see your potential for the trial of the night."

Pride: "Without further ado, let's party!"

      Pride went somewhere, and then came back with a fancy glass of wine. Wrath and Greed were arm wrestling while Greed was gambling on who would win. Sloth was enjoying the show, Envy was just looking at me, I assume he was thinking about my abilities or something. The the doors burst open as Lust came in.

Lust: "I knew it! You guys are having a party without me! And with that wretched thing here as well!"

Pride: "Oh calm down Lust, it is almost time for the fighting section of the event."

Lust: "Perfect, I want to take on our new member myself."

Wrath: "No fair, we all want to check them out. Why do you get all the fun?"

     Lust and Wrath continued to argue as Pride made their way to me.

Pride: "Don't mind them. Let's get it started. Obviously as this is your first party, you will be the defender, but we will go easy on you. A one vs. one gauntlet trial. You will fight in order of number, from seven to one. Skipping six of course."

      They led me to a small arena area.

          ~~~ 3 Minute Time Skip ~~~

     I stood in the arena as Sloth entered. She sighed before relaxing a bit, taking a step forward. My vision started to turn a bit blue, I started to relax.

Haunting Voice: "Yes, relax, let me take over. Let me over come you, so that I may consume everything."

     My gem started to glow orange as I stood up.

Gluttony: "Well, well, well, long time no see Sloth."

     Sloth slowed down.

Sloth: "Gluttony? So you really are back. Which means that you died in the first place."

Gluttony: "Oh of course not. Vlad died, I didn't. And I quite like this host, I kind of want to see what I can do with these abilities. Do you have any clue what it's like to be a full fledged Diamond? The power, the aura oh the aura. So wonderful, what you guys have is a knock off. A fake, a wanna be. This is real Diamond shit. Don't get me started on the void. So many tricks, so many abilities. This, this body was the ultimate feast. I am glad they were drawn to me."

Sloth: "So what now? Now I actually have to fight? Damn."

Gluttony: "No, you won't be fighting, you will simply be losing."

     With that Gluttony surged forward, throwing a hefty punch. I sat in my void watching this, looking around, when I found something. A glowing orange ball. I made my way to it in this endless darkness. I grabbed the orb and looked at it, the outside battle no longer part of my focus. The orb reacted when I touched it. It pulsed and formed a drop shape, toward my gem, before receding back into a sphere. I smile as I brought the orb to my gem and focused. You live in my body, and you will obey me. No more controlling the front wheel. Now, first of all, you are going to keep them from effecting me, and next, you are going to give me control again.

Gluttony: "As if I would give you control again."

     I glared at the nothingness. You forget, this is my void. And nothing can ever change that. Now give me my god damn body back! I was suddenly in my body with a beaten Sloth walking out of the arena. Pride was in the highest row of the seats of the arena.

Pride: "With a wonderful display of power coming from Gluttony, let's see how well they fair against Lust!"

     As I was stretching feeling more comfortable in my body once again I heard a voice.

Gluttony: "Unfortunately, even if I wanted to help you, I can't fully stop them from taking over you. I guess I can try to weaken the effect a little bit, unless you indulge in my sin, then I would grow strong enough to over come the other sins, but you would have to be constantly eating."

     Lust walked into the arena, looking angry.

Lust: "I know you're just a fake. You aren't the real Gluttony!"

(y/n): "You are right, I just put Gluttony back into his cage. Sorry about that."

     They glared at me.

Lust: "I am going to enjoy this."

      My vision started to become a bit pink, before it became more orange instead. I summoned my bow, I looked down at it and drew back an arrow.

Lust: "Oh no, this fight is going to be very close and personal."

(y/n): "Nice try but I, can just go over there."

     I teleported to the other side of the arena, releasing my arrow at them. The barely dodged as I knocked another arrow.

Lust: "How do you disappear like that?"

(y/n): "Like I am gonna tell you. But I bet Envy knows. Why don't you ask him?"

     I released the arrow and continued to fire, most of the shots missing, but some barely grazed them. Lust got angry and stepped toward me. Their effect started to effect me a bit. I started to feel lonely. I slowed down, allowing them to step closer even more. I slowed to a stop, my weapon disappearing. I felt so lonely, it was as lonely as back then, when I was stuck in my void, so alone. No one could see me. No one heard me. No one helped me. That loneliness, that yearning for someone, makes me so, so angry. I hate it, I hate it so much.

          ~~~ Lust POV ~~~

     I watched them as I drew closer. Their gem was glowing orange, but now it's pink. I have them now. I looked at their eye and saw a little bit of orange on one of the edges of their gem. Interesting, I guess they really did absorb him. What a shame. I stepped closer again, their weapon gone, they were done for, until, I saw something else in their gem. One of the edges went from a dull grey color, to Red. What's this? That looks like, her color. Before I could take another step, they clenched their hands and glared at me. I looked up at Wrath in the arena. That's impossible. She is still there. And she isn't even effecting them, so how do they have that color in their gem? How are they overcoming me? And with that, they lunged at me.
