*epic snip* Temptation took a couple seconds to catch his breath, then slowly went to grab Lord Fear's sword and approach Lord Fear. He seemed to lay there unconscious, but Temptation was cautious in case he had any tricks.
"I'm not afraid of you, Uncle. I have your sword, and now's the time for you to surrender." Temptation said. He wondered if he had finally won. He turned Lord Fear's body over, but suddenly stepped back. He looked at Lord Fear's mouth, and it was full as if he had eaten something. Then he looked at Lord Fear's hands, and he held cookie with a bite out of it.
"Oh no, he's taken a bite of the Maximus Tentaculous cookies! I thought I destroyed them all!" Temptation cried out.
Envy slowly stepped towards Joy, while Joy took a few steps back. Luckily with her dress shortened, she could actually see where she was stepping, avoiding the rubble that's on fire. She looked around herself for something to fight Envy's rapier. The dagger she found earlier wouldn't do. She turned and found a tall three-pronged candlestick stand. She grabbed it and pointed it at Envy like a pitchfork with sticky candles.
"You're lucky to have gotten a wedding, Joy." Envy cried out. "Why would you miss your chance at marriage?"
"Cause your brother is nothing but a spineless chicken with no brain." Joy shouted as she thrusted her pitchfork-candlestick-stand at Envy, who blocked it with her rapier.
Envy slashed her rapier at Joy, who parried and blocked all her moves. As Joy swung her pitchfork-candlestick-stand around, the sticky candles caught onto some more bits of rubble from the air and the floor, making it more flammable. When Joy swung it around, the fire trailed behind her moves, and the longer it trailed, the more Envy stepped back.
Meanwhile, towards the center of the aisle, Temptation and Lord Fear continued fighting with their swords. Temptation was starting to grow tired, but he kept on with all of his might. Lord Fear swung one huge strike with his sword, but Temptation struck back, and Lord Fear's sword flew from his hands. Temptation had finally caught him off guard and kicked him with his foot. Lord Fear fell back a few feet, and lay in the rubble face down.

He wouldn't! Actually never mind he would... WHAT ARE THEY GONNA DO ABOUT THAT!?!
A rasping chuckle came from Lord Fear. "I'd have thought you'd know better by now, kid." Teeth flashed as he rose his head and grinned. "I always have another trick up my sleeve." His body suddenly spasmed. A strangled gurgle came from him as he rolled in strange twitches on the floor. Temptation felt horror grow from the pit in his stomach. He staggered back. The body of his uncle was changing--growing--expanding. His lavish dark robes were ripped apart. The color and texture of his flesh was changing to something paler, more alien. Meanwhile Envy was still throwing herself furiously at Joy. At was all Joy could do to fend her off with the candlestick stand. Several times she nearly tumbled over her own feet, staggering over the rubble in her heels. She finally tripped back as one heel snapped. Envy's rapier only just managed to slice her cheek. The dark-haired girl advanced. "Get back!" Joy waved the blaze of flames at her opponent. Envy stopped. "It's no use fighting," she sneered. "I don't need to get any closer to you." Joy ignored her. Instead, she observed the large slab of stone she had fallen off of. Envy stood over her on the higher slab. Joy saw there was a narrow space where the two pieces of rubble didn't connect--a hole, essentially. She'd been lucky not to have fallen in it when she tripped. It was big enough for someone to be trapped in... "You know, Envy," she spoke, trying to keep her voice from shaking. "It doesn't matter what you do. I'll always be better than you, even if you kill me." "What?" There was a note of malice in the reply. "I mean, look at me: I was born of higher breeding. My family was noble and rich." She raised her head, feigning pride and contempt. "Better yet, my parents love me. And I have a boyfriend. Compared to me... you're nothing." Her heart pounded, but she kept going. "Even my name is prettier than yours. You'll never be as good as me." Envy's eyes flashed with tears--and wrath. "How dare you! I deserve so much more than you!" She raised her rapier and lunged forward. "I'll rip your pretty face to pieces!" Her foot stepped into empty space. Envy plummeted into the hole with a shriek.

1. Yikes! O.o 2. Savage. Oh I get it! Envy was envious, good one.

Ooh, nice part! Like what NFM said, I like how Envy became envy. Oh yeah, it's all coming together.

Joy let out a big sigh now that Envy had disappeared. She ran back to Temptation, who just stared with his mouth wide open as his uncle becoming more and more like the Maximus Tentaculous.
Lord Fear's limbs slowly morphed into tentacles, and his body size was quickly increasing until he was as big as the church's former ceiling.
While Lord Fear grew, Temptation and Joy quickly updated each other on their situations.
"What happened to Envy?" Temptation asked Joy. "Let's just say...she became more down to Earth." Joy replied. "So, how are we going to take out your uncle?" She asked.
"I have no idea." Temptation said.
Lord Fear had now finished his transformation, and looked towards Joy and Temptation. He swung one of his tentacles at them. Temptation and Joy avoided his strike, but fell back a bit. The shockwaves of Lord Fear's strike knocked over some of the remaining church structure, opening up an exit.
"I think we should just run." Temptation said.
"Good idea." Joy replied, and they ran as fast as they could out from the exit and as far as they could, but Lord Fear was following them, crawling on his tentacles like a spider with thick legs.
"We can't outrun him for too long!" Joy shouted as they ran down the road. Lord Fear followed closely, hurling whatever he could find towards them.
Eventually they had no choice but to climb up a steep hill, and Temptation and Joy climbed as fast as they could. They reached the top edge of the hill and got both of their hands on the edge when suddenly one last tentacleful of debris landed in near them, and its impact made them lose their grip.
"AHHH" They both shouted, feeling like they lost their grip and about to fall, but miraculously, they didn't. They soon realized that someone else had grabbed onto their hands.
"We got you!" They said as they pulled Temptation and Joy up the edge of the hill, and they were in shock.
It was Joy's parents who pulled them up onto the hill, and behind them was all of the former slaves, legions of the Kingdom's army, and other people they had met before.
"We got help and alerted everyone in the kingdom, including the king, queen, and the army." Joy's father said.
I love that picture. 
Actually never mind he would... 
WHAT ARE THEY GONNA DO ABOUT THAT!?! 
I love that picture.

Sorry for the late update. It's been a very busy year of school and other things.
