Two Sins Collide
Ban, Meliodas, (Y/N) and Hawk were looking at a map on where to go next, while Diane and Elizabeth where outside as Hawk's mum was walking to their next destination.
"So, Elizabeth meat me and (Y/N) at Cain's village," Meliodas said.
"Then we found Diane in the forest of white dreams," (Y/N) added.
"And now we're on the mountain road heading east of Dalmary, huh, *Pugo*" Hawk said.
"But don't we want to head southwest to get to the capital?" Ban said.
"Nope," Meliodas said, "we're heading away from the kingdom, we brought down Solgates and Baste, we are going to catch their attention if we get to more trouble,"
"But we already have their attention," Ban said.
"If that is the case, then we will be heading to..." (Y/N) said only for Hawk's mum to come to a complete stop.
"That giant woman and giant pig," a knight said, "stop right there," the group looked to see two knights standing in the way of them, "we are holy knights of the kingdom, you must answer our questions, from the reports we know that Diane the serpent sin is a giant, we also have heard of a giant pig carrying a house on its back."
"Huh, security," (Y/N) said.
"Holy knight?" Ban wondered, "those are clearly some apprentice holy knights, let me at them," Ban said as he headed out the tavern to stopped by Meliodas.
"Hey there, security guys," Meliodas said "I'm the owner of this traveling bar, "Boar hat," what can I do for you,"
"Traveling bar?" knight 1 said "then what are you doing with a giant girl and a human girl,"
"They are my bar's attractive waitresses,"
"What an unbelievable lie," ban said as (Y/N) sighed.
"WOW INCREADABLE THIS MUST BE A NEW TREND,"
"Seriously?" Ban said.
"It worked because they are dumb," (Y/N) whispered.
"True,"
"Well then move along," Kight 2 said.
As the boar hat got back on the road and the knights were out of sight Meliodas said "the destination is the capital of the dead, we'll look for King there,"
"Are you kidding cap'n...? Didn't you hear that fatass is dead," Ban said.
"It is the only lead we have got,"
"Besides it is only a rumour," (Y/N) added.
"Exactly,"
In the capital of the dead, Gilthunder is talking to a little boy.
"Today I have brought you some interesting news, Fort Solgales was destroyed including Baste, and the weird fangs were annihilated, and now the sins gather to four, now that Ban has joined them,"
"Really... I don't know why they've decided to move now... but if he had stayed quiet, he wouldn't have become my target,"
"don't you dare betray my trust... King,"
"...trust..."
The sins had finally gotten to the capital of the dead and were preparing to open.
"First, we have to gather information about king or the capital of the dead, from what I have heard this place is the closest, so we better open shop,"
"So, the cap'n really is wait'n tables,"
"Did you expect him not to?"
"Captain is dreamy when he's working too,"
"you're all going to work too, you're in charge of attracting customers big waitress,"
"Me," Diane said happily.
"You will be collecting food," Meliodas said pointing at (Y/N).
"Got it captain," (Y/N) said as he ran to the forest.

"And I'm counting on you to make your great food jailbreaking cook."
"Who, me?" Ban said in shock.
"don't you mean terrible food?" Hawk asked.
"No great...his food is delicious, alright let's get to work."
"Please sir Meliodas let me help too," Elizabeth said emerging from the tavern.
"Okay, just don't push yourself, too hard, oh Ban the pa... he ran away,"
Further down the down Ban was walking through the place to see what the abandoned looking town was like.
"The cap'n must be joking, what kind of information can we find in a run-down place like this." as ban was going down, he saw a little girl, "Elle..." the girl turned her head towards him "...no, never mind...that's impossible," only to see the girl fall over.
Back at the boar hat.
"By the way sir Meliodas, what kind of person is Sir King?"
"Hmm...what kind of person... in a nutshell he's kind of like the seven deadly sins mascot,"
"Hey, hey, hey... you've got to be kidding me, what kind of food establishment keeps an animal inside?" Hawk said as Meliodas, and Elizabeth stared at the pig.
"No, not that kind of pet,"
"Then what kind?"
"Come to think about it there was a time where ban was into collecting stuffed animals," Meliodas said making Elizabeth snicker.
"that's adorable,"
"When King found out he wouldn't stop crying, and the moment Ban passed out, King returned the toys to their owners,"
"He... Seems a little different, but... it sounds like Sir King has a kind heart,"
"That just makes ban a good-of-nothing, I bet those too fought a lot,"
"What makes you say that... those too were joined to the hip, but now that I think about it, he probably did that to clear up Ban's messes,"
Back with Ban.
"Hey kid wake up," Ban said holing the kid in one arm,"
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY SISTER?" a little boy yelled, "ARE YOU PLANING ON TAKING MY SISTER,"
"She just passed out that's allll,"
"WHY?... WHAT DID YOU DO?"
"Hey, if you're her brother... then are you at least giving her enough food to eat?"
"SHUT UP, AND GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY SISTER,"
"If you are not going to listen, then... I'll take her,"
The boy then charged at ban pricing him with a pitchfork, "brother stop, this man was trying to help me," the girl said as ban removed the pitchfork.
"I'm really sorry, how can I erase my sin?"
"Erase your sin...? You're just a brat what are you talking about?"
"But I ..." he then saw that Ban had not wound, "your wound is gone?"
"Listen kid, real sins, can't be erased no matter what," Ban said as a spear priced both of Ban's lungs.
"It sounds like you know that pretty well, hey, Ban," a boy said laying on his spear "don't have anything to say to me? This is our reunion,"
"Who are you?"
"Who am I? Have you forgotten that?"
"Nope, haven't seen you before,"
"Oh well that doesn't matter, all that is," the boy said as the spear started to spin and shot out of Ban's back and flew into the air as the boy landed on the spear as the two floated, "you're Ban the Fox Sins of Greed, or should I say," as Ban started to heal from the giant hole in his chest, "Ban, the Undead,"

"you've got a smart mouth kid, who the hell are you?"
"You can't remember me, but you can remember your sin, right?" the boy said, "that deep, deep sin that you committed, to satisfy your own "greed" ... as for the price of your immortality, you killed the saint of the fountain of youth,"
"Hey, brats get out of her," Ban said as he got angrier.
"I'm right, am I not?" the boy said flying down to strike Ban only for Ban to appear above him,
"I've asked you already who the hell are you?" as the boy dodged Ban making him shatter a stone wall.
"Maybe you will remember ," the spear moved incredibly fast trying to hit Ban as he dodged not moving off his stop.
Ban jumped and went to kick the boy "sorry, doesn't ring a bell either," as the boy dodged the kick.
"In the capital of the dead, where she lies... I want to show her, the sight of her murderer cowering," as the boy went higher into the air, "and writhing in anguish,"
"Like I said," Ban said as he raised his hand to him.
'This is...'
"Who the hell are you?"
"Bad ban," Meliodas said hitting Ban with a mug.
"What was that for Cap'n?"
"What do you think you're doing? Skipping out on work,"
"what'm doing? This punk came out of nowhere and picked a fight with me,"
"what's all the ruckus about?" Diane said as (Y/N) followed behind her.
"What going on here?" (Y/N) said after delivering his haw to the tavern.
"Huh,"
"KING," all three yelled apart from Ban who just won't believe that the boy is king.
"HOW THE HELL IS THAT KING,"
"Maybe he lost a little weight,"
"A LITTLE WEIGHT, THAT'S NOT EVEN THE MAIN ISSUE,"
"King," Dinae said, "we've been looking for you, I'm so happy to see you again,"
King just turned and flew off into the forest leaving the sins wondering what is going on.
The sins had returned to the Boar Hat.
"Here you go, eat up," Ban said as he gave the small boy and girl food.
"It smells good,"
"If you are not going to eat it, I will feed it to the pig," Ban said making the pig exited.
"let's eat," the kids said as the pig fell to the floor in disappointment.
"Okay, now it is your turn, tell me where the capital of the dead or whatever is."
"Hay ban, we found King, we don't need to go to the capital of the dead," Meliodas said.
"There is no way that is King,"
"He was real,"
"He was a fake,"
"Real,"
"Fake,"
"So, you are trying to get the capital of the dead too?" the boy said.
"Too?" Ban and Meliodas spoke.
"That kid asked a few times too, he wants to go to the capital of the dead no matter what,"
"So king is also looking for the capital of the dead?"
"Yea, we call it the necropolis, the entrance to the necropolis is in the village, but you can't go there just because you want to." the boy said confusing them all.
"I not good with riddles kid," Ban said.
"I see... in other words," Meliodas said strapping a fishing rod with leftovers on the end to Hawk, "it's kind of like this,"
"I don't think that is what he meant captain," (Y/N) said.
"The necropolis is a place where the dead my go to rest." the boy said.
"So, like an afterlife?" Meliodas said.
"How are we going to get there," Elizabeth wondered.
"There aren't any bugs there?" Diane asked.
"Have you been there?" Ban asked.
"No way, it is all just a superstition."
"a priceless memory shared with the dead will open the path to the necropolis," the girl said, "that is what the old man said, sorry that is all I know,"
"Thanks kid, you just paid your meal and then some," Ban said rubbing the girl's head.
"Why do you think King wants to go to the necropolis captain?" (Y/N) asked.
"Well... I'm sure we will find out once we get there,"
"But why did King run away?" Diane wondered.
Further in the forest King was griping onto his pillow.
"I'm so stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid," King said as he tried to hide his shame in the pillow, "I made it look like I ran away because I saw Diane, I couldn't help myself, especially when she said something like that," King said as he smiled remembering what Dinae said, "Diane is as cute as she ever was," he said spinning in a circle, "what should I do?" he just then snaped out of it, "but then, the captain hasn't changed a bit in the ten years, how is that possible? Then again neither has (Y/N), have those two reached their max? Well at least those three are doing well, it was good to see them," then he turned angry, "I won't let that monster fool them, Ban, I will never forgive you," King had then heard the voices of familiar people.
"The entrance is around here?" (Y/N) asked.
"isn't it just a superstition?" Diane asked, "what are we doing here?"
"How do we even get there?" Hawk asked.
"By dying," Meliodas joked.
"Are you serious?"
"a priceless memory? Maybe I could see my mother, as I couldn't get to meet her as she died shortly after I was born," Eizabeth said.
"That wouldn't work then as you have no memories with her," (Y/N) said.
"Right,"
"Oh... look," Diane said seeing flowers that have just bloomed.
"Have they just bloomed a second ago?" Meliodas asked.
"Who cares, even if you were to eat them, you'd never get full,"
Then each of the flower petals flew into the air as King sat bay knowing what was happening as he jumped in without anyone noticing, as the petals spun around them, they could eventually see, the necropolis.
"Captain," Diane said
"...yeah,"
'So, this is the capital of the deal, what does this mean?' King thought 'I've tried so many times, so the memories belong to one of them.'
"Is it possible that my longing to see my mother brought us here?"
"no... it must have been my memories of the leftovers that I never got to eat,"
"My mind was blank," Meliodas said.
"Same here," Diane said.
"Sort of," (Y/N) added as Meliodas looked at him confused.
Ban just stood in silence as his eyes caught a figure in the distance as he began to run.
"BAN," the sins yelled.
"STOP," King yelled as he flew in the direction that Ban was heading.
"Huh, King,"
"That is Sir King?"
"Captain, what should we do?"
"we'll case them I guess,"
"I won't let you get away," Ban and King said running to a figure in the distance.
"Wait sir Meliodas, where is (Y/N)?"
"Where has he run off too?" Hawk yelled.
"I'm sure he will turn up soon,"
With (Y/N)
"Hello there, it's been a while, Siara," (Y/N) said seeing a woman that had long blond hair, silver eyes and red armor, with a black under hall.
"(Y/N)?" Siara said as she wrapped her arms around him "it's been so long," as she started to tear up, then punched him in the gut as (Y/N) fell to the floor.
"Why did you do that?"
"Humph, that is because you have changed again... However, I am happy to see that you are traveling with friends again,"
"Well, I wouldn't say that they did get me to join their group, I have something to ask of you,"
(Back outside the Necropolis)
"Did you see that they disappeared," the boy said.
"yea," the girl responded.
"I see so the capital of the dead does exist," a woman appeared from behind them.
"BAN,"
"The fox sin of greed, take your hand of my repairer,"
"I take offence to that, I not touching anything of yours," Ban said with hand out, pulling back his one finger making the repairer pull towards Ban.
"I see this is your power, , I better give something fitting of a thief such as yourself" Guila said firing an explosive ball at Ban as it explodes in his face,"
"Ban," Elaine said watching from a distance.
Ban was laid on the floor unable to move "I heard that you are indestructible, but even that will keep you out of the fight,"
Meliodas charged at Guila an slashed her with his blade only for her to create a smoke screen as another explosion appeared behind him sending him into Diane. "I think I should end this," Guila stated.
((time skip Elaine tries to convince King to go help, then Elizabeth convinces King, but trying to fight while King stays behind as King raises his spear from the ground))
"Well, well, the toughness of the giant race is something to behold." Guila said as the three were laying in defeat while Diane covered Meliodas from the explosion, as she prepared another explosion a kick to the side of the head hit her sending her into a crystal.
"(Y/N)," the sins said.
"Sorry I'm late,"
"I see the ape sin of despair, if I am correct, your power in , not very effective in this battle, seeing as it requires you to recover from your injures to gain a boost in power,"
"You sure are a book worm aren't you,"
"I just did my research, but you will be a disappointment just like the other," Guila said sending an explosion at him only for him to appear next to her with a red aura. "Interesting, you are not like the others,"
(Y/N) thew punch after punch as Guila countered with an explosion sending (Y/N) back, "you are strong apprentice holy knight,"
"I am a holy knight," Guila said in annoyance.
"You might have a holy knight's power, but I can tell, you haven't had much combat experience, have you? That makes you an apprentice to me,"
"Then I will gain that from beating you,"
(Y/N) just waved his finger at her, "sorry but there are five of us you have to deal with,"
"Huh," as a spear hit her sending her flying.
As king appeared on the floating spear "hey,"
"Got over your little problem? Or is it still there?" (Y/N) asked King.
"I guess it is over," King responded.
An explosion from Guila's position occurred as she appeared from the rubble "wow," ban said not very impressed.
"Well, grizzly sin, your betrayal was expected, but it is too bad,"
"What are you saying, I had no intention of siding with you from the start, the kingdom wanted the sins destroyed, and I wanted Ban destroyed, we had a common interest, but things have changed."
"Now then " Guila said sending multiple bombs at them as King sent his spear deflecting each one, "splendid, so this is the power of Spirit Spear Chastiefol, said to be forged by the sacred tree in the fairy realm, I heard that is more durable than steal, and the power is draw is by your power, , feel free to come at me five on one,"
"No, it will be a one on one will be fine," King said.
"What a show King," (Y/N) said.
"Are any of you hurt?" Elizabeth said riding Hawk.
"We are fine," Meliodas said.
"that's good,"
King turned to see that Elizabeth was happy that they were okay only for Guila to have survived and charge at King. "At this range even the spirit spear can't save you," as she sent a full powered explosion at him only for Meliodas to get in the way.
"Full counter,"
"No," and then Guila disappeared as if she didn't exist.
"what happened?" Ban asked
"She has been sent back, unlike you all who came as flesh, she seemed to be in spirit only,"
As on time everyone started to fall apart as if their body was disintegrating, "this world is rejecting you, the living is not meant to be in this world," a voice called out to be the boy and girl. "you managed to see the person you wanted to meet,"
"Hold on your," Ban and King said.
