《Greed and Despond (Ban x Sin!Reader)》21

"WITH A HEIGHT OF 5 FEET AND A WEIGHT OF 110 POUNDS, ITS MELIODAZZZZ! AND LETS NOT FORGET ABOUT HIS OPPONENT AT 6'9" AND WEIGHING IN AT 170 POUNDS, BAAAA'AAAAN!!!"
The crowd cheered loudly, obviously itching to see this fight after the let down that was King's. I was nearly deafened by the crowd's cheers alone, but Diane and King wanted to join in.
"Go Cap- er, I mean... Meliodazzzz! Do your best!" Diane almost screamed, which is 100% great because she's right next to me. I winced at her volume, edging closer to King involuntarily.
"Ba'an If you lose and get humiliated I'll tell Elaine!" King shouted, his face turning slightly red. I laughed, just after I flinched once more, this time moving slightly toward Diane.
"Beat his ass, Ba'an!!" I shouted after recovering, pumping my fist and whooping.
"It would've been nice if the ring was bigger," Ban spoke, grinning as he rolled his shoulder. It cracked loudly.
Meli laughed, "Well, it was about this big last time."
The two continued to talk, but in more hushed tones, so I couldn't hear them talking. I watched intently, waiting for the two of them to begin fighting.
In what seemed to be a split second, Meli jumped forward. He rammed his fist into Ban's chin, causing his face to twist as an unnatural angle and his body to fly backward. He slid backward along the wood of the ring, making a large indent in the arena under he had slid. He stopped just before he reached the edge, and was most certainly lucky to not have lost right there.
The entire crowd was quiet for a moment, but it cheered loudly after seeing Ban was still in the ring. People were whooping and screaming, either yelling at Ban to get up and kick his ass, or at Meli to knock Ban out and get it over with. Obviously, I was with the people cheering for Ban.
The captain charged forward again, kicking Ban upward so that he raised into the air. He reared his fist back, ready to punch the crimson-eyed Sin, but before he could, Ban reached out and grabbed Meli's torso. He shoved the blonde downward headfirst, the crowd roaring loudly as a crater formed where the captain's head made contact with the floor of the ring.
Meli pushed up on his hands, almost in the form of a handstand before hooking his legs around Ban's neck. The man's eyes widened at Meli slammed him downward, his stomach crashing into the floor. The crowd cheered louder.
"STOP STEALING MY MOVES, CAPTAIN!" I shouted, grinning from ear to ear. I knew Ban wasn't going to go down easy, and there was a 50/50 chance that he would win. I pumped my fist in the air and continued to cheer.
Ban made contact with the ground and immediately shot upward, standing straight upward in a fraction of a second. He grabbed the captain's foot, since he was mid-air, ready to punch Ban, and slammed his small body downward. I cheered louder, causing my cheeks to flush lightly, as Ban's foot made contact with Meli, which made the captain to soar upward. It was a glorious scene, seeing the man get dropkicked. Ban launched himself up off the ground, a small web of cracks weaving out of a crater that had formed where his feet were. He shouted something inaudible before punching Meli straight in the gut, sending him slamming downward.

As they fell, Ban continuously punched Meli. The only better hand-to-hand combat fighter than me, in the Sins, was Ban- we might even be the top two in the kingdom. We used to duke it out all the time, see who could outmatch the other. Two hundred seventy three wins each, and one hundred forty eight draws in four hundred twenty one rounds. I should really challenge him again. I'm a bit rusty.
I lost count at around eighty four punches, which was when they had reached halfway down. Ban had gotten a few more in before Meli turned the tables, flipping them so that Ban was below him. He threw one massive punch, sending the pale blue-haired male crashing downward. When he hit the floor, there was a sickening crack, almost deafening. It didn't sound like bones- it was too loud.
"The.... THE GREAT BYZEL ROCK HAS BEEN SPLIT IN TWO!" The announcer shouted over the crowd, only to causing them to cheer louder. I wondered vaguely how long some of them had been screaming. I had been shouting almost the entire time.
There were a few inaudible shouts about Ban's physical state, and about how great the fight was. It took a moment for Ban to get up, which was a moment longer than it usually took. In that moment, my smile faltered, and I was tempted to ask the announcer to call the match. I know these two beat on each other a lot, but I still couldn't help but falter slightly. Ban always stood up right away- never hesitant.
When he stood up, my breath released, and my furrowed brows unfurled. I allowed myself to enjoy the fight again, seeing the two Sins charge at each other. They threw kicks, meeting each other half way every time.
I felt a tap on my shoulder, and I turned around. The roaring of the crowd distracted me from his voice slightly, but I could hear the Holy Knight pretty clearly. "This is awesome, right? They're like monsters!"
I flinched a little bit at the word monster, but smiled anyway. "Mmm, not monsters. Just two friends fighting." I laughed, then faced the battle again. "You hoping to fight the winner, Hauser?"
"Not really," he laughed, sweatdropping slightly. I could feel his eyes on me. He was quiet for a moment, almost hesitant to speak again. "So, uh... how to you know Meliodaz and Ba'an?"
"Hm?" I asked, cocking my head to the side at him. "Oh, they uh.... they helped me out of a really bad situation. We've been friends ever since. Matrona and 'Old Fart' hang with us too."
"Is that really his name?" He laughed, and I joined in with him.
"No," I grinned, "His name is Harlequin- Ba'an decided to be a dick when he was signing him up."
"So, uhm... what's your name?"
"Amelia," I spoke immediately, then cringed at my name choice. I had to go with it now. "Amelia Molexion."
"Amelia Molexion," he echoed, muttering the words. He furrowed his brows slightly.
"Any reason for asking?" I asked, my voice sounding sweet. He was suspicious. Ban made his and Meli's names too obvious, now I have to cover their asses from a Holy Knight. Not to mention, what's probably happening later. If we already have a Knight on our ass, it'll be a hell of a lot harder.

"Nah," he grinned, "just curious."
I nodded, then turned my attention back to the fight. Ban had recovered fully, there were no longer any cuts or wounds in his body, as expected. He and Meli were throwing punches that went so fast even I could barely see their hands flying.
Meli threw a particularly hard punch that sent both him and Ban flying backward. Ban shoved his feet down to stop himself, while the blonde used both his hands and feet. Both of them were panting lightly, as they stayed in kneeling positions, looking at each other.
"HAVE THEY BOTH GONE DOWN?" The announcer shouted, causing a few annoyed and confused grumbled to interrupt the previously loud shouts and cheers.
Ban extended his hand, reaching out toward Meli. He didn't move forward, though- he stayed in the same sitting position, as did the captain. He muttered something, but I couldn't hear it over the chatter in the audience. If I had to assume, he was using Snatch and stealing Meli's physical strength.
He shot upward, beginning to stand. He jumped forward and charged at Meli, who was still struggling to rise. When Ban was in front of him, he threw a punch, which was significantly slower and weaker than all of his others. Ban dodged it easily. He stretched his wrist for a second, then threw a punch. Meli was sent flying. He was dragged across the ground as he went forward, slowing down just before hitting the edge of the ring.
"GO BAN!!" I whooped, cheering as I laughed. Hauser gave me a weird look and I began to sweat a little bit. "WHOOP HIS ASS, BA'AN!"
He continued to stare at me, but eventually stared back at the battle. Ban laughed, "Man, I feel great!"
That might've jinxed him.
Meli came flying up, his knee making contact with Ban's jaw with a sickening crack. You could hear his neck and jaw snapping, and the sight wasn't exactly pretty either. I'm pretty sure I saw one of his teeth fly out of his mouth, and when he faced Meli, baring his teeth, I could see, for a split second, that his left canine tooth was missing. After that moment, he grinned, tugging his upper lip upward to show off the tooth that had regrown.
Meli went in for a kick, his foot extended outward. Ban swayed out of the way, then swung back forward head first, head-butting the captain in the spine and sending him crashing to the floor again. He dragged him along the ground, creating yet another canal to add to the seemingly endless amount that covered the arena.
Meli continued to throw kicks and punches, and Ban continued to dodge and counterattack. The captain was becoming more sluggish, unable to keep up with Ban. He was definitely using Snatch.
Ban threw a notably strong punch, hitting Meli in the jaw. He did a half-backflip midair, grabbing Ban's forearm. He swung him back and forth, making a semicircle with Ban's body as he continuously smashed him into the ground. The cheers of the crowd had turned into screams again.
Ban quickly regained his footing, and stood up, shaking off Meli's hand. He outstretched his hand toward the blonde again, and this time he began to get bigger. His muscles expanded, making his jacket look as though it was ripping at the seems. He grinned, laughing hoarsely.
"Physical Hunt," He spoke maniacally- loud enough so that I could hear it over the shouts of the people around me. It helped that he was close to the edge that King, Diane, Hauser, and I were standing at. I never commented, but I could see Hauser glancing between us five sins pretty regularly. "The feeling of the Captain's strength coursing through me..! It's ecstasy!
"Let's test it out~"
Ban jumped upward, and as he fell, he extended his front fist toward Meli. He charged toward him at the full speed of his fall. When he was about a foot away from the captain, he threw a punch back, so that their fists connected. There were several sickening cracks as Ban's hand practically crumpled, his fingers bending at impossible angles and his palm caving in.
His eyes widened as the captain shot forward, his other fist connecting with Ban's torso. The crimson eyed man was sent flying backwards, his body snapping and cracking in disgusting ways as he flew.
"MELIODAZ IS ABOUT TO WIN!" The announcer shouted, and the crowd roared with a combination of approval and shouts of unfairness. "BA'AN WONT STOP!"
I saw it- maybe a second before everyone else. His foot shot down just before he flew out of the ring. He balanced on his toes as his torso bent backwards. His arms and stomach were snapping back into place, and the blood covering him was steaming, and then gone.
"You've got to be kidding me~" Ban spoke in a sing-songy, almost childish tone. "Just how bottomless is your power, cap? Y'know what... I've decided."
"Decided to give up?" Meli asked, grinning widely as he began to charge toward the man across the ring. "Or to wait until you get knocked out of the ring?"
Ban began running as well, "Yeaaaah, well~ It doesn't look like I can end the fight simply by stealing some strength and speed here and there, soooooo.... I guess I'll take it al-"
Meli charged forward before he could finish his sentence and extend his hand all the way. He began throwing a barrage of punches, which all landed on Ban's face and torso. He continuously bombarded the crimson-eyed man with punches, not stopping to give him a chance.
I grinned. Good, this match is almost as good as decided.
Meli's attacks became weaker, to the point where he swung slowly, and his hand lightly tapped Ban's cheek and chest. Ban grinned insanely, standing tall over the captain and he stared down at him. Meli collapsed, weakly falling to the ground as he released a sputtering cough.
"That was delicious~"
