//------------------------------// // Dark Clouds Gather? // Story: Equestrian Judges! // by Zeno the Masked Writer //------------------------------// "HAHAHAHAHA!" After returning to the judges headquarters, Siegfried had just informed his mistress of the fall of Envy and how Mako had been the one to defeat him. Needless to say, she found his little story.........humorous. "I should have known old smoky would be the one to do him in! But boy I'm surprised that he would ask a favor from ME of all people!!" "Yes, mistress....It is rather strange that he would ask a favor to save the old stallion after working so hard to make sure he was punished." Siegfried said with a bow as his mistress spun around in her chair. "Well Smoky does have his own weird way of dealing with cases! But whatever's! We managed to take down one of the sins so why don't we celebrate!!" She said with a giggle while Siegfried sighed. "Once again she's ignoring the point..." "Danny! Make me something to eat! HAHAHA!" "DAMMIT!!" The room shook viciously as Wrath pounded the walls with his giant fists. Sloth ignored the constant shaking as she continued to read her manga while Pride tried to read a book. "WHY IS EVERYONE SO CALM RIGHT NOW! ENVY DIED!!!!" Wrath shouted as he slammed his fist into a table shattering it into pieces. "Because Envy was a complete idiot." Lust said passively as she turned the channel on the tv to a teen drama. "WHAT WAS THAT!!!" Wrath shouted in a rage as a red mist began to surround his fist. "Wrath that's enough." "B-BUT PRIDE WE CANT JUS-" Wrath tried to say before being cut off by a vicious looking scythe was placed around his neck. "Envy was a fool.....As a sin he knew what to expect, however, he got careless and reckless. So in the end, whatever happened to him has nothing to do with us." Wrath sat down slowly as pride took his weapon away from his brother's neck, meanwhile, Greed was listening with a smile plastered on his face as he talked with someone over his phone. "I see so *He* was the one who took Envy out? Hehehe, well then I think it's almost time for a family reunion." Greed thought as he hung up the phone and slowly dissolved into the darkness. "However, what you said was true Wrath." Father said as his image appeared before the sins. "No doubt the Judge association had something to do with this. So in turn, we must return the same pain of losing a loved one." Father explained as the sins bowed to him. "Yes Father." Now with one sin gone the gears of fate are turning and the sins have begun to make their move. The Judge association, still covered in mystery, has still a very strange interest in Mako and the Sins. What side will win and which side shall lose? TO BE CONTINUED!
