POV: Y/n

We were looking for Ban and King since Time Step wouldn't allow my to carry everyone as time slowed.

Diane: Geez, where did those two go!?

Me: I know they started going this way, but I'm not sure after that.

Hawk: Why isn't there a single ghost or anything in this so-called Capital of the Dead? Right, guys?

Elizabeth: If there were any, I'd be scared.

Me: You'll be fine M'lady, I believe the ghosts are only visible to those they choose.

Elizabeth: Lord Meliodas, why did Lord King chase after Lord Ban?

Meliodas: I'm wondering about that myself. But then again what was Ban chasing after?

This made Hawk and Elizabeth freeze full of fear, wondering what would happen.

Me: Well, Ban was originally arrested for the death of the Saint of the Fairy King's Forest, maybe King is looking for revenge, but it's just an idea.

Diane: How do you know that?

Me: Remember, I'm a high-ranking Holy Knight, and I had a friend guard him for a few years, I managed to learn a few things.

Meliodas: That's on the edge of knowing too much Y/n.

Me: Sin's law, I presume.

Meliodas and Diane: Yeah

Me: Fair point.

Meliodas: I've got a bad feeling about this,

I then heard screaming coming from ahead of us, before I could dart towards the sound, a raven haired female in purple armor and a rapier

Elizabeth: Lord Meliodas?

Diane: Oh! Who's that? Where did she come from?

Me: Guila? How the hell did you get here?

Guila: I got here by dying. Greetings, Dragon's Sin of Wrath, Meliodas, Serpent's Sin of Envy, Diane, Deserter Y/n. I am Holy Knight Guila.

Hawk: Just, just now she said 'I got here by dying' does that mean she killed herself to chase after Elizabeth and the Seven Deadly Sins?

Elizabeth: Lord Meliodas, there's something about her that,

Guila: If it's for justice, my life is worth nothing more than that of a pig.

Me: And what about the young one?

Hawk: The hell do you mean, nothing more than a pig!? You pig! Hey Meliodas, say something!! Isn't there something wrong with her?

Meliodas: Yeah, really wrong.

Me: I agree.

Hawk turned around to face us and I saw Guila reach for her rapier, I then activated my magic and darted towards her drawing my short sword and striking her rapier as she swung it upward. I saw a spark fly off of our clashing blades, and I caught the crystal we stood on start to crack. Before I could react an explosion ensued sending me backward along with Hawk and Elizabeth.

Meliodas: Y/n, take Hawk and Elizabeth and run away, as fast as you can.

Y/n: You can handle her, Elizabeth, hop on Hawk and lets run.

Elizabeth: Ye- yes!

Elizabeth then hopped on Hawk and I used my Magic to slow time as we started running as fast as we could. After a moment I stopped using my powers, assuming we were far enough away.

Hawk: Y/n, that Holy Knight Guila, I sensed something really dangerous!! It's just my animal instinct though.

Me: I could sense something off, she used to care a lot for her brother, I don't know why she's different now though. I think we'll be fine here.

Hawk: Do you think we went a little too far?

Just then the crystal above us shattered and Meliodas was flung through and landed on a parallel crystal.

Elizabeth: Lord Meliodas

Me: I don't think we went far enough

Meliodas: What are you stil doing here? RUN FARTHER AWAY!!!

Me: Let's get running, now!

Hawk: Seriouslyyyyy!!?

Me: DON'T HOLD BACK YOU GUYS!!!

We then started running again, this time I used my magic longer and I found Ban, encased in stone with a spear coming from his chest. I stopped using my magic and had them hide behind a collection of crystals as I listened to the conversation.

King: To the very end, not even a word of repentance huh. Just like you Ban. then at least, in the Capital of the Dead, not allowed to die or find peace, all alone, just live in agony for the rest of eternity.

The spear lodged in Ban's chest then came out of his chest and changed into the polearm I saw King with earlier.

King: That's a fitting fate for you, in return for stealing everything from Elaine. By the way, Knight, I know you are there. I won't kill you if you come out now.

This gave me no choice but to leave cover with Elizabeth and Hawk.

Me: What did you do to him? I know he killed the Saint of the Fairy King's Forest. Who was it to you, a sibling, lover, friend, or some other form of kin?

King: Her name was Elaine, and she was my sister.

Me: Sorry about that.

Hawk: What's that light?

King then looked behind him, and we looked and saw a collection of lights gathering in front of Ban. King then flew down to the ground as if he knew what was happening.

Elizabeth: What's happening?

Me: I'm not sure. Let's watch.

King: What? Is that? Some kind of trick by Ban? No, that's impossible, Ban shouldn't be able to do anything.

King's polearm then fell into the ground.

King: No way, this feeling is! Ela...ine? Is it really you?

The statue of Ban was the shattered, revealing Ban underneath.

King: What!? The petrification was released!!?

Hawk: What the hell's going on?

Me: Let it play out.

Ban: Yo, Elaine.

Me: *So Ban knows the Saint,*

King: Ban, how can you see Elaine? Is, is that really Elaine!? No, no! If that's the case, how can you see her while I can't.

Me: The relationship goes both ways, she likely is upset with you.

Lights: Ban, how did you get that scar?

Ban: Keh, so you haven't been watching from this world at all?

King: Tha, that voice really is!! Elaine, it's me!! You know, right? Please! Let me see you, too!!

Ban: You should let him see you.

Elaine: This so-called 'Capital of the Dead' is where the soul and memory are tied together, those who still live and those who have passed on, the strong bond created by their shared memories is what allows the deceased to be seen.

King then looked down before mumbling to himself.

King: You're still mad at me huh. That I abandoned everything, you, the Kingdom, I threw it all away!!!

An explosion then echoed throughout the area, causing all of us to turn our attention.

Ban: This feeling, a Holy Knight?

Elaine: Ban, wait! Why, did you come to see me?

Ban: No reason, I just wanted to say one thing.

King: Fine, I'm alright with whatever you think of me! But that's no reason for you to save Ban!! He's the one who stole everything from you!!

Ban: Someday, I'll definitely make you mine.

King: Ban! What the hell do you think you're doing to my sister!?

Elaine: Thank you, Ban.

Hearing that made King fall to his knees as Ban ran off. I walked up to King to ask him to either help the Sins fight or to watch over the Princess.

Me: *kneeling* Lord King, I ask you to lend your strength to the others to fight this Holy knight.

King: No, I won't help them.

Me: Then watch over these two while I help them myself.

King: Why would I do that?

Me: Because my name is Y/n L/n, Sapphire Rank Holy Knight, and I am begging you to guard Lady Elizabeth and Hawk with your life.

King: Y/n, you made to being a Holy Knight. Meliodas spoke highly of you. Very well, I will guard these two until the fight is over.

Me: Thank you M'Lord.

I then ran off using my magic and I found Ban holding Guila back.


Okay, so before this part there were 1,234 words, I find that hilarious. Also I recently ended the second season of the anime, and *SPOILERS* I planned on giving Jericho her brother's magic because I figured, hey, this is her brother's magic, so it makes sense that she can use it as well, and I don't plan on changing when she gets the magic simply because it had such an impact and drive for her as a character, so BIG things are coming, eventually. 

Also I know this is a a short chapter simply because this is a really short arc, and I didn't want to step too close on copying the manga page for page, since a large portion of the chapters in this arc focus on characters, [i.e. Ban and King, Elizabeth and Hawk, and the battle between Guila, Meliodas and Diane]

Anyway, God bless y'all, good luck with life, I'll see y'all next time.
