Sunlight and Sunset were arrived in front of the building where their next target, Called the Snoozer, was located.
“Ugh, they are arrived already, said Snoozer, yawning. What a bother...Guards, give our dear intruders a welcome comity they won’t forget. Wake me up when they are neutralized.”
“Right sir!!” said one of them.
He then fell asleep again. Sunlight was about to enter when Sunset stopped him.
“There are a lot of guards waiting for us inside, said Sunset. It seem like our friend have been warned of our arrival”
“So, they must have noticed our existence, said Sunlight. Was about time, we won’t have to brain our way to them. I will open the way for you, just run to the last floor. I am handling those security guards.”
Sunlight melted through the reinforced metal door with a fire beam. He entered first. The guards started firing magic beams at him, that he blocked easily. He smiled and took down half of the guards on the floor with diverse karate moves. He then lifted 5 other near him and lauched them through a wall. He finally took down the remaining guards on the ground level with a powerful wind that sent them flying outside the building. Sunset followed him, impressed.
“Are they going to be fine?” she asked.
“Don’t worry, i went easy on them, he answered. They will wake up with scratches and maybe fractured bones for those fives i sent through this wall. They will live, though. Let’s take the stairs, the elavator might be trapped.”
They walked to the next floor.
“No guards on this floor” said Sunset.
“Fine to me, said Sunlight, let’s go.”
He made his way through the 100 floors without any problem, making quick work of the traps in his way.
“How....How tall is this tower? Asked Sunset, out of breath. I’m tired of climbing stairs...”
“We should be at the top floor, now, he answered. Now, just have to find our target’s room.”
They explored the whole floor, but didn’t find the room of their target.
“It’s impossible, said Sunset. We checked every room on each floor. Where is he?”
“Did we? Asked Sunlight. We looked everywhere from the first floor to the last one. But i didn’t checked the ground floor.
“Of course!! Said Sunset. Oh crap, don’t tell me we will have to walk down all the way...”
Sunlight teleported himself and her on the ground floor.
“Oh, she said. Yeah, i forgot you can teleport to place you already visited.”
Sunlight and Sunset looked everywhere on the floor.
“Brother!! I found a secret passage!!” said Sunset.
“Good job” he said.
They opened it and entered in a secret room where Snoozer was sleeping. Sunlight lifted him out of his bed and bound him with magic ties.
“Discord?” asked Sunlight.
The body disappeared.
“He will have a surprise when he’ll wake up in jail, said Sunset. So, the sin of Lust’s next, right?”
“Yes, said Sunlight. Bloody Hooves told me she have a secret hideout under a building called the Thousand Pleasures.”
They both walked their way to the Thousand Pleasures club. Meanwhile, Twilight was disturbed from her duties by her guards.
“Princess, A certain Sunlight Blaze sent us this weird guy. He still didn’t woke up.”
Twilight saw a note on the pony and read it.
“Send him to the dungeon, ordered Twilight. This guy is one of the Thousand Eyes’ deadly sins. The sin of Sloth, i must presume...”
Sunset and Sunlight made it to the thousand Pleasures and were waiting at the entrance. Inside, a very sexy Unicorn mare was looking at the camera.
“Hum..., well I guess it’s my turn, she said, looking at her pendant. Let’s test their will, shall we. Girls, give our two guest a warm welcome. Seduce the male and capture the female. That mare will be a fine addition to our club. As for the stallion, i’ll keep him as my sex slave.”
“Yes, ma’am” said a mature mare.
“Whatever you do, said Sunset. Please don’t let them get to your mind. They will most certainly try to seduce you and then try to put their hands on me...”
“I won’t let them put their hands on you, he said. I mean, their hooves! Beside, you forget who we are talking of...Those temptresses won’t get to me. Are you ready? Then let’s do this.”
They entered the building and were immediately welcomed by beautiful mares and sexy stallions.
“That will be harder than i thought, said Sunlight. Those stallions are sure well-hunged”
”Sunlight!! She said in his mind. This is not the time!! But i do have to admit that they are well-hunged.”
“We won’t resist, said Sunlight. Take us to your boss, Lady Desire. I couldn’t possibly damage such perfect bodies?”
Sunlight let himself get tied up by two stallions. Sunset looked at him and saw that he had a plan, and let herself get tied up as well. They were brought to Lady Desire’s room.
“I know why you two are here, she said. I was expecting you to resist, you are not as dumb as i thought. Those ropes nullify your magic, so don’t even think about freeing yourselves...”
“What’s your deal? Said Sunlight. Wait, don’t tell me, i know. And i forbid you to touch my Sister with your filthy hooves. You can make me your slave, i don’t care, but let her go. Oh wait, did i told you i can turn myself into a mare?”
“Oh...That is really interesting, she said. But you won’t trick me into freeing you, even if it was true. And do you think i will let your dear sister go away? She know too much to be left in the wild.”
She showed them her pendant.
“Now, please don’t resist and look at my pendant” said Lady Desire.
“Wait, That pendant, said Sunlight. It’s a relic, right?”
“Yes, she answered. It’s the Pendant of Hearts. A powerful relic that have the power to bend a being’s will, mind and of course, heart, to the holder’s orders and desires.”
“I see, then all of them, they must be under your control, said Sunset. Right?”
“Yes, she said. Well, except my right-hand lady, Miss Candy. She follow me on her own will. Now, enough questions, time for you two to become my slaves until you die.”
“Sunlight!! Said Sunlight. If you have a plan, Now would be a good time to execute it!”
“Don’t make me laugh! Said Lady Desire. You are tied up and unable to use your magic, what could you possibly do?”
The Pendant she was holding was struck by a magic beam. Sunlight smiled.
“It’s over, said Sunlight. The beam that hit your pendant was the Magic Cancellation spell.”
Sunset looked at him and smiled.
“How could you cast a spell? Said Desire. Those bounds should be preventing you to use magic!!”
Sunset looked at Sunlight with a surprised face.
Lady Desire and Miss candy were suddenly tied with their own anti-magic bounds. Another Sunlight appeared in the room, smiling. The Sunlight beside Sunset turned into a pile of ashes.
“I believe i should explain you what happened, said Sunlight. The Sunlight that entered the place with Sunset was a magic clone of mine. You see, on our way to your hideout, i told my sister that i had to do something urgent. This was a pretext to get away from her and use my Magic Multiplication spell. I saw and listened to everything through his eyes”
“A... Cloning spell? Said Lady Desire. Such spell doesn’t exist.”
“This is exact, said Sunlight. It is a forgotten spell...Now, it’s over...”
“So, this is the second spell you learned, said Sunset. Impressive...But why didn’t you told me about it?”
“Probably, he answered, freeing her from her bounds. Let’s bring those 2 to Twilight, Discord?”
The two mares disappeared and reappeared in the court of the castle, not far from the throne room. They were confused.
“Twilight? Said Spike. Why are there 2 mares in the center of the room?”
Twilight arrived. One of the mares, Lady Desire, had a message taped on her flank. She immediately deduced it was one of the Deadly Sins.
“So, the other one is her second-in-command, she said. That mean there is only 3 left”
Sunlight and Sunset were taking a break.
“The next one is the sin of Envy, said Sunlight. Unlike the 4 other we defeated, she and the two last don’t rule a part of the city’s economy. They instead have control of illegal markets. The Sin of Envy, White Mane, control the drug traffic. The sin of Wrath, Wrecker, is the hitman of the organization and is responsible of assassinations. Finally, the Sin of Pride, named the Golden Eye, and the leader of the deadly sins, is according to Bloody Hooves, responsible of the corruption in town.”
“So, said Sunset. Then he is the one who is buying the authorities and the mayor so they don’t meddle with the Thousand Eyes illegal activities.”
“Yes, said Sunlight. Now, let’s get White Mane. According to Bloody Hooves, she passes a lot of her time at the White Swan, a luxurious maiden Coffee shop. It is not that far of our current location.”
They got up and walked to the Maiden Coffee. They entered and immediately looked for a white-maned mare. A maiden welcomed them. To avoid drawing suspicion, Sunlight ordered coffee for him and Sunset, and then sat a a table. A couple of minutes later, they saw a white-maned tomboyish pegasus enter in the shop.
“It’s our pony, said Sunlight. No doubt about, white mane, Pegasi, tomboyish, with an envious look. It’s her.”
Sunlight immediately immobilized the pegasi with a magic spell.
“The heck?!” said the mare.
Sunlight lifted her in the air and looked at her, Sunset looked in her memories.
“Release me, you jerk!! She said. You don’t know who you are messing with!!”
“We know exactly who were messing with, said Sunset with a smug face. White Mane, the Thousand Eye’s Sin of Envy. Queen of the drug market. Sorry, but you are under arrest!”
“Good luck taking down the two last, said White Mane. They won’t be that easy to defeat.”
“Discord!” said Sunlight.
She disappeared. Sunlight left the coffee shop with Sunset and they laughed.
“Well, that was easy! Said Sunset. So, now we are down to 2 sins: Wrath and Pride. Where can we find them?”
“The sin of Wrath will come to us, said Sunlight. To try assassinate us. To avoid unnecessary damages to the city, let’s take this somewhere free of people and buildings.”
As they were walking, Sunlight avoided instinctively a magic bullet coming his way.
“Look like he is already on to us!! Said Sunlight. Get behind me, Sis!!”
He made a magic barrier around them.
“Up there!! Said Sunset. He is on top of the blue building!!”
Sunlight casted a powerful whirlwind around the hitman, but this one teleported on a nearby building. The unicorns started chasing the criminal down the streets. The assassin looked at them and entered through a secret passage underground. Sunlight quickly found the passage and opened it with a blast of magic. They landed in a dark tunnel with multiple galleries.
“Forgetten Magic Arcane, said Sunlight. Multiplication!!”
Sunlight created 4 copies of himself and ordered them to explore the tunnels. Then he told Sunset to stay with him, protecting themselves with a forcefield.
“Let’s go, he said. Let’s be careful.”
They began exploring with precautions the galleries. After a while, they finally made it to a large room. He informed his clones of the location and they joined him shortly after. Feeling a danger coming, he ordered them to scatter around the room and casted a forcefield for him and her. Him and his clones avoided a series of magic attacks.
“Goddamnit!! Said a voice coming from nowhere. Why is this so hard to hit you people!!? How i am supposed to kill you if you keep dodging my attacks!!”
“Shut your fucking mouth, dumbass!! Said another voice. Those guys are different from your usual targets. They can actually defend themselves.”
2 ponies showed up in the middle of the room. Both were Unicorns. The first one, tall, black and with a grey mane, was wearing a mechanic aim scope on his left eye and a sort of rifle on his back. The other one was white with a golden mane, incredibly charming and cool-looking. One of his eyes was covered by his mane. Sunlight told his clones not to engage now.
“You made it to us, congratulation!! Said the white Unicorn. We’ve heard that you defeated 5 of the 7 deadly sins. I’m impressed. But i am afraid that your winning streak stop here...And by the way, this black ball of anger is Wrecker, the sin of Wrath and i am Golden Eye, the leader of the 7 deadly sins, the sin of Pride”
“We are 6, you are 2, said Sunset. You are fairly outnumbered.”
“Really? Said Golden Eye. We’ll see...He he he he...”
Golden Eye created multiple copies of himself that he sent after Sunlight’s clones.
“What? Said Sunlight. That’s...impossible...”
“Do you think you are the only one with a special talent? Asked Golden Eye. Wrecker, show them what you can do!!”
Wrecker turned his rifle into a small gatling and started blasting at the duo a rainfire. Sunlight smiled and knocked the ground with his front hooves. Many stone and metal blades came out of the ground under the 2 ponies, forcing them to stop their attack and dodge. The two enemies dodged the attack like Sunlight predicted and summoned a violent gust of wind that sent them against the roof. He then sent the enemies crashing violently on the ground. Before Sunlight could throw his next spell, Golden Eye casted a barrier around him and his pal, then summoned rock and metal blades below Sunlight, Who lifted the ground below him and Sunset to take height and avoid the attack. Wrecker didn’t let them time to breath and blasted a magic missile at the duo. Sunlight and Sunset jumped from the plateform and landed on the ground.
“Damn those two, said Sunlight. How can this Golden Eye use the same spells as i do?”
“You want to know, uh? Said Golden Eye. Well, i won’t tell you. I am sure you will figure it out by yourself.”
Sunlight grinded his teeth and stared at the two enemies, then smiled.
“Now, you got me mad, he said. You two are going to have a bad time...”
