(M/n): Morning Grandpa Floyd!!

Grandpa Floyd: *Looks at (M/n) while he cooks breakfast* Morning, kid. You seem chipper today.

(M/n): *Looks at Grandpa Floyd* You think so?

Grandpa Floyd: *Nods in response* Yeah. Ever since you first came to town, you've always had a frown on your face.

(M/n): Well, not anymore. And it's a good change of pace too.

Grandpa Floyd: *Nods in agreement* Sure is.

(M/n) then walks over to the dining table, grabs a piece of toast, and then gobbles it down fast before washing it down with a glass of milk.

(M/n): *Sighs in satisfaction* Aaah!! That hit the spot!!

(M/n): I'll see you later, Grandpa Floyd!!

Grandpa Floyd: *Looks at (M/n)* Where are you going?

(M/n): To the Boar Hat. Meliodas asked me if I'd like to help him the other day and I said yes.

Grandpa Floyd: So you got a job now?

(M/n): *Shrugs* Guess you could say that.

Grandpa Floyd: Okay, have fun then.

With that said and done, our young hero then leaves the house for the Boar Hat.

________________________________________________________________________________

????: Come in.

The door of the room then opens and a man clad in shiny armor enters and walks up to this mysterious individual masked in the shadows.

Holy Knight: Sir, our scouts at Lyboruo have returned with news.

????: *Looks at the knight* What is it?

Holy Knight: The Seven Deadly Sins are there.

Almost immediately, the man covered in shadows stands up from his seat upon hearing the name of the Seven Deadly Sins being said.

????: All of them?

Holy Knight: No sir. Our scouts have only found Sir Meliodas, Sir Gowther, Sir King, Lady Merlin, and Lady Diane.

????: What of Ban, the Fox Sin of Greed?

Holy Knight: He's nowhere to be found.

????: I see.

The man then walks up to a table with a helmet and a sword. Momentary silence occurred and after almost a full five minutes of silence....

????: Prepare my horse and gather a squad of our finest men immediately.

Holy Knight: *Nods to his orders* Yes sir, right away.

Upon receiving these orders, the knight then leaves the room.

????: Even if the king himself trusts the Sins again....

????: ....I on the other hand, see them for who they truly are.

????: *Puts on his helmet* And I will prove that by taking their heads.

________________________________________________________________________________

It's been about five weeks since Meliodas and the others arrived at Lyboruo Village. Thanks to (M/n)'s help from days earlier, his friends now have a new destination to reach and they plan to hit the road once more tomorrow morning.

(M/n) does know about this, yet something was not right. Instead of being happy that Meliodas and the others will be leaving, he's disheartened. Sad. And this has been boggling his mind ever since and is unsure why.

Could it be that (M/n) really does want to go with Meliodas and the others on their quest? Or is it something else entirely?

Elizabeth: There sure is a lot of people here today.

(M/n): Probably here to have some booze or a taste of the food.

Elizabeth: *Looks at (M/n)* I didn't know you can cook Sir (M/n).

(M/n): Well, a guy's gotta take care of himself right? And that includes cooking his own meals too.

Elizabeth:I guess you have a point.

Since Ban left Meliodas and the others after what had happened back in Liones, the Boar Hat needed a cook to whip up it's meals. Meliodas asked (M/n) if he can cook and the young lad said yes.

And the next thing that happened, the Boar Hat got a new cook, thankfully since Meliodas isn't the most experienced in the culinary arts.

Diane: *Walks up to (M/n)* Hey (M/n), is the meat pie for Table Two ready yet?

(M/n): *Hands Diane the meat pie* Here ya go. Fresh out of the oven.

Diane: *Takes the meat pie* Thanks!!

Diane then leaves the counter for Table Two.

(M/n): That reminds me. Where's Meliodas, Gowther, King, and Merlin? I haven't seen them since I got here.

Elizabeth: Sir Meliodas and the others decided to go to the village market to buy some groceries. Just in case we run out.

(M/n): When will they be back?

Elizabeth: *Thinks for a moment* Probably not for long, I think.

(M/n): *Shrugs* Okay.

As (M/n) continued cooking, Elizabeth stood there looking at him. Ever since she comforted our hero after telling her his tragic backstory, she developed feelings for (M/n).

Elizabeth didn't realize this until yesterday and has not told anyone about it yet. Not even to Meliodas or any of the other Sins. It didn't take long for (M/n) to notice Elizabeth staring at him and he was confused as to why she's doing this.

(M/n): *Looks at Elizabeth confused* Elizabeth?

Elizabeth: ....

(M/n): Elizabeth? Hey!!

(M/n): *Snaps his fingers at Elizabeth* Hello? Earth to Elizabeth!!

Elizabeth: *Snaps back to reality* W-What?

(M/n): You alright? Ya looked like you zoned out for a sec while staring at me.

Elizabeth: *Blushes in embarrassment* I-I was!?

Then, out of nowhere, a massive explosion fills the air outside as the ground beneath the Boar Hat shakes vigorously. Scaring all the customers and also (M/n), Diane, Elizabeth, and Hawk.

Elizabeth: What was that?

(M/n): I don't know, but I'm gonna find out. *Runs towards the front door* Come on, Elizabeth!!

Elizabeth: W-WAIT FOR ME!!

With that said and done, (M/n) and Elizabeth then head outside to find out what's going on and what they discovered made horrified expressions appear on their faces. What did they see? Large pillars of smoke coming from Lyboruo Village's market place as the air was filled with the screams of people in terror.

Not only that, Meliodas and the others are there too and whatever caused that explosion, they're probably dealing with it right now.

Elizabeth: Who or what's causing that?

(M/n): *Looks at Elizabeth* I don't know, but there's only one way to find out.

(M/n): *Looks at Elizabeth* Elizabeth.

Elizabeth: *Looks at (M/n)* Yes?

(M/n): Stay here, I'll go to the marketplace and see what's going on there.

Elizabeth: If you're going, then I'm going too.

(M/n): *Shakes head in disagreement* You can't, it's too dangerous.

Elizabeth: I appreciate the concern, Sir (M/n), but I'll be fine. I've been through many situations like this in the past.

(M/n): But-

Elizabeth: Trust me.

*Brief silence occurs*

(M/n): *Sighs* Okay, you can come. But stay close to me alright?

Elizabeth: *Nods in reply* I will.

(M/n): Let's go.

Without any further ado, (M/n) and Elizabeth then head to Lyboruo to see what's going on in the village's market place.

________________________________________________________________________________

Meliodas: *Smirks* Not bad for an old timer.

????: Didn't your mother ever tell you to respect your elders?

Meliodas: Eh, no.

The Captain of the Seven Deadly Sins then breaks the clash between him and his enemy and jumps away to safety afterwards. As for what the man Meliodas is fighting looks like? His face can't be seen due to the helmet he's wearing, but his armor is light cyan with some red and gold designs on it.

The symbol of Liones can also be seen on the right shoulder pad of the armor.

Meliodas: Stop this now.

????: And why should I do that?

Meliodas: My comrades and I are not guilty. We were framed by Hendrickson so we wouldn't interfere with his plans to destroy the world.

????: *Scoffs at this* Say what you want Meliodas, but I will not fall for your lies.

Meliodas: *Takes his battle position* Then you leave me no choice.

After saying this, Meliodas then runs up to the knight and engages him once more as sparks appear and fly everywhere from the clashes of their blades. Every blow they dished caused the earth to shake and winds to occur, showing how powerful these two are.

Slash after slash, block after block, Meliodas and the knight gave it their all until the fiend caught the Sin of Wrath off guard via a knee kick to his stomach and then hurls him towards a wall.

????: Let's see if your Full Counter can neutralize this.

The knight then raises his sword high and conjures up energy in the blade of his sword. Once the sword reached it's limit at charging, the knight then launched a powerful energy attack towards Meliodas.

Not fazed by the incoming attack, a smirk appears on Meliodas' face as he stands up and readies himself to use his special move.

Meliodas: This'll be a piece of cake.

When the attack got close to Meliodas, he swings his sword at his opponent's attack and uses Full Counter. But something's wrong, Meliodas' ability didn't affect the knight's attack at all!! With no time to fall back, the Sin of Wrath was then hit by the attack and sent flying in the air.

Making sure Meliodas didn't have time to recover, the knight jumps towards Meliodas and then attacks him with countless sword strikes. Left, right, over, under, the man attacked every single part of the Sin of Wrath's body.

Meliodas tried to fight back, but for some odd reason, something's denying him of making that move and soon, the Sin of Wrath was then down kicked towards the ground and crashes afterwards.

????: *Lands back onto the ground* Is that all you got?

Meliodas: *Struggles to get up, but collapses onto the ground* I-I can't get up!! What's going on?

????: That is the work of my Blast Triumphant. Anyone who is hit by this attack will have their energy drained and will be unable to fight back no matter what they do or try.

After saying this, the knight then walks up to Meliodas, grabs him by his hair, and then lifts him up as the captain struggles in pain from his opponent's grip on his hair.

Meliodas: You'll never get away with this.

????: Oh, but I already have. *Looks to his left*

Meliodas: Huh?

When Meliodas looked to where the man was looking, horror appeared on his face. What did he see? Gowther, King, and Merlin lying on the ground possibly unconscious and covered in all sorts of bruises.

Meliodas: GOWTHER!! KING!! MERLIN!! *Looks at the knight in anger* What did you do to them!?

????: The same thing I did to you with my Blast Triumphant.

(M/n): HEY!!

Upon hearing this, the knight and Meliodas find (M/n) and Elizabeth running towards the Sin of Wrath and then stop upon seeing the threat in front of them.

Elizabeth: *Looks at Meliodas and the others* SIR MELIODAS!! SIR GOWTHER!! SIR KING!! LADY MERLIN!!

Meliodas: GET OUT OF HERE!! NOW!!

(M/n): No can do, Meliodas!! Me and Elizabeth aren't going anywhere without you and the others!!

????: *Looks at (M/n) and Elizabeth with interest* Interesting.

The knight then throws Meliodas aside and faces our hero and the princess of Liones.

????: Are you two acquaintances with the Seven Deadly Sins?

(M/n): First things first, bud. Who the heck are you?

Panzerfon(): I am Panzerfon, Holy Knight of Liones.

Panzerfon: And if the two of you are in cahoots with the Seven Deadly Sins, then I ask you to surrender immediately. Do that and I will spare your friends from a painful demise.

(M/n): Tch!! Like I'm gonna fall for crap like that!! Especially when it's coming from a bastard who hurt my friends!!

(M/n): Let them go right now!! Or so help me, I'll-

Then, out of nowhere, Panzerfon runs up to (M/n) in a flash and catches him off guard.

(M/n): *Eyes widen in shock* WHA?!

Panzerfon: Silence.

(M/n):

After receiving that lethal punch from Panzerfon, our hero then takes flight and crashes into a nearby house with a large dust cloud following afterwards.

Elizabeth: SIR (M/N)!!

Panzerfon: *Looks at Elizabeth* Princess Elizabeth. *Elizabeth looks at him* Why are you working with these criminals?

Elizabeth: Sir Meliodas and the rest of the Seven Deadly Sins are not the enemy!!

Panzerfon: So you trust them too, hmm?

Elizabeth: *Gets grabbed from the shirt by Panzerfon* GYAH!!

Meliodas: ELIZABETH!!

Panzerfon: *Readies his sword* I'll give you to the count of three to neglect your aid with the Seven Deadly Sins before I slice your head off.

Panzerfon: One....

Panzerfon: ....Two....

Panzerfon: ....Thre-

Then, out of nowhere, a chain whip flowing with energy wraps around Panzerfon's left hand and sends him flying into a few shops in the marketplace afterwards.

When Meliodas and Elizabeth saw this, they had no idea where this came from, until the source came out of the dust clouds.

________________________________________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________________________

Elizabeth: S-Sir (M/n)?

(M/n):

Holy Knight: *Shocked expression appears on his face* W-WHAT!?

Holy Knight #2: IMPOSSIBLE!! THAT KID HAS A SACRED TREASURE!?

Panzerfon: *Looks at (M/n)* Unless....

Panzerfon then examines (M/n)'s body and then finds a symbol on his right arm. A scorpion symbol. Upon finding that, this meant one thing and one thing only....

Panzerfon: *Eyes widen in shock* I-IMPOSSIBLE!? YOU CAN'T BE!!

(M/n): I sure am.

Panzerfon: W-WHO ARE YOU!?

(M/n): I am (First Name) (Last Name)!! Member of the Seven Deadly Sins and the Scorpion's Sin of Vengeance!!

After saying this, Panzerfon's men trembled in fear and without hesitation, they all ran away in fear like cowards. Making (M/n)'s job in defeating Panzerfon easier.

(M/n): Pfft!! Wusses.

(M/n): *Looks at Elizabeth* Elizabeth.

Elizabeth: *Looks at (M/n)* Y-Yes?

(M/n): Get Meliodas and the others to safety.

Elizabeth: What are you going to do, (M/n)?

(M/n): *Looks at Panzerfon* I'll pick up where Meliodas.

She didn't understand at first, but after putting the pieces together, Elizabeth knew what (M/n)'s talking about. He will be facing Panzerfon and finish the battle.

Elizabeth: Be careful.

(M/n): *Looks at Elizabeth* Yes ma'am.

Elizabeth then runs up to Meliodas, picks him up, and heads for Gowther, King, and Merlin next while (M/n) prepares to duke it out with Panzerfon.

Meliodas(In thoughts): *Looks at (M/n)* Well, it's about time.

Panzerfon: Best you remember my face, Sin. *Takes his position* It'll be the last thing you'll see before I kill you.

(M/n): *Takes ready position* That ain't happening, pal. And you know why?

Panzerfon: Why?

(M/n): *Looks at Panzerfon in anger* Because vengeance will be mine.

After saying this, (M/n) and Panzerfon then run towards each other and commence their fight.
