The sins stood minus Ban around as Meliodas and Escanor were laid out on some tables, and the man who claimed to be (Y/N) was laid down on the floor next to the two out of his armour and in his gambeson and the one thing about him that stood out was the man's tail.

"To be perfectly honest our situation is dire," Merlin said, "the damage Escanor suffered is much greater than the captain, sunshine is an extremely powerful magic, in order to stop the captain, he used far too much power. He probably burnt up the entire store of energy that he'd built up all these years all at once. But that makes the captains condition all the more dangerous, now that his emotions have been stolen by the demon king, he's regressing to the Meliodas of old... and his cruelty and strength are even greater than back then... plus with the fact that this man claims to be (Y/N), though he has no form of an injury, it is clear that he won't be waking up soon,"

Just then Meliodas woke up, only for merlin to knock him out with shock stinger making him go unconscious as the sins look in shock.

"Meliodas," Elizabeth said, "Merlin please stop," as she goes over to him raising him into her arms.

"Elizabeth, move away from there," Merlin orders, "I'm going to encase Meliodas in my perfect cube."

"That won't solve anything," Elizabeth said.

"WE'RE IN A RACE AGAINS TIME RIGHT NOW," Merlin said, "if we leave him as he is... the power of the darkness is mending his wounds."

"Merlin please..." Elizabeth said.

"NO," Merin quickly responds, "we need to isolate him immediately,"

"Then lock me in together with him," Elizabeth said.

"Sis-sis," Merlin said

"WHAT," both King and Diane yelled.

"Fine," Merlin said.

"Thank you, Merlin," Elizabeth said as the perfect cube forms around her

"However," Merlin said getting closer to the perfect cube, "I will be saying by your side to keep watch just in case the worst should happen."

"But... now it's not just the Captain, Escanor and (Y/N)" king said, "but even Merlin and Elizabeth will be away from the front lines... what are we supposed to do?"

"We will head towards Camelot just as planned," Merlin said, "our mission, as the eight deadly sins, is to free Camelot from the control of the ten commandments, and liberate the people of Liones, above all else, now that Elizabeth's memories of her past lives have returned, we only have three days remaining. We have no time to just stand here and do nothing, during those two days left until we reach Camelot, while we wait for Escanor and (Y/N) to recover, I will think of a way to return the captain to normal. Of course, it is altogether possible that Zeldris and his Demon followers may attack us... so King, Diane, Gowther... you are the only ones we can count on..."

As the three leaves the room heading to the roof top, Merlin begins to find a way to bring back Meliodas's emotions back, while giving quick glances at (Y/N) body. Elizabeth notices this.

"You are thinking that this person isn't (Y/N), aren't you, Merlin," Elizabeth said.

"No matter what I can think of there is nothing that would make sense in to why (Y/N) could change appearance, there should be no-one that can do that,"

"But it is him,"

"How can you know?"

"Back in my first life, I can remember the Fire, they are foggy, but the memories of him are there, he never looked like the person that we knew,"

"And how do you know this?"

"Before I met Meliodas, the Fire was the one who protected me, when we met, he was killing both demons and goddess's alike, that was when I asked him to stop, I don't know what was going on in his head but he agreed, and then he looked after me and he even showed me his TARDIS and took me to a few places before returning back, saying something like, 'I better return you back, before your race thinks that you are dead', before leaving saying that he would return one day, and when he returned him and Meliodas got into a fight, Meliodas thought that he was an ex-boyfriend of mine, and Fire thought he was going to kill me, Fire knocked Meliodas out and was going to kill him before I stopped him and explained everything to him, of course he apologized to me before heading off saying 'he won't want me to be the first thing he wakes up to,' and that was the last time I saw him, before I was cursed,"

"I see, but that doesn't explain why he looks different,"

"Well, his race don't die, they regenerate,"

"So that giant explosion was him regenerating, but that wouldn't make sense, as he was not injured thanks to Ragespikes special ability lifesteal, allowing him to do damage to someone and then take that damage and turning it into healing for himself,"

"I guess that he was dying when he returned from his trip."

"That maybe it," Merlin said staring down the Saiyan, 'just how much are you hiding? Fire.'

A few hours passed as Merlin continues her research only for her to fell an immense presence.

"Someone has engulfed the entire region with their magic," Merlin said, "Everyone prepare for an attack,"

"M-Merlin," Hawk said scared seeing a man pressing his face on the perfect cube, "wh-where the heck did that old man come from?"

"o-oooohhh, my... sweet, sweet young master Meliodas, being locked away in a place like this... how sad... poor thing..." the old man said only too then see Elizabeth holding Meliodas.

"Wh-who are you?" Elizabeth asked

"ohhh it's you, the insolent goddess that kidnapped the young master... I am going to kill you," the man said. "Goddess Elizabeth, laden deep with sin... the nasty feline who stole my dear young master Meliodas away from me... I will never... ever... ever... ever... ever... forgive you," as the old man taps his cane on the perfect cube removing the spell.

"h... HE POPPED MERLIN'S BARRIER AS IT WERE A SOAP BUBBLE," Hawk yelled.

"So, he can use absolute cancel," Merlin said as she prepared a spell, "this is not an opponent to be taken lightly, GET DOWN BIG SIS-SIS," as merlin fired a at him only for him to wave his cane at the spell sending it back, "that technique is Meliodas' but how?"

"What did you expect?" the man said, ", I'm the one who taught full counter to the young master,"

As Merlin disappeared and her clothes and sacred treasure hit the ground.

"M-M-M... MERLIN JUST DISAPPEARED

"Hmph... Magic seal, was it?" the man said, unfortunately you were the one that ended up being sealed... and it appears the magic you had cast upon yourself has been dispelled now, mmm," only as the clothes began to move as a little girl emerged from the clothes, "so, that's your original from...? Quite adorable, aren't you? Hohoho."

"For this to happen to me of all people," Little Merlin said.

"ohh... what is this? I believe I recognize this face...hmmm?" the man said, "could you be... Belialuin's Daughter?"

Only for a giant hand to burst through the door grabbing onto the Meliodas and Elizabeth pulling them out.

"It's alright now, you aren't hurt, are you?" Diane said.

"We are fine, but Merlin's in huge trouble," Elizabeth said.

"Huh? Wh... What's happened to Merlin?" Diane asked.

"Who was it that attacked you, Elizabeth?" King asked.

"a giant girl with a power level of 8,000, a fairy with a power level of 40,000, ohh amazing, and with a power level of 35,400, a huma...hmm?"

"He is" Gowther said as the group look up seeing the old man flying above them

"You are... Gowther? No, you are Gowther's doll, are you not," The old man said, "why are you, who withdrew from the ten commandments, together with these people?"

"Is that old man... the one that has been attacking us?" Diane asked.

"Gowther do you know him?" King asked.

"... he is the highest ranked demon, Chandler," Gowther said, "and the one who taught Meliodas how to fight, his true Master."

"Th... the captains... MASTER," The two yelled.

"Captain...?" Chandler said, "although I'm sure that it's impossible, would you happen to be talking about young master Meliodas would you?"

"Young master?" Diane said confused.

"Which means that you are the eight deadly sins that demon king spoke of, hohooo- I see, I see... the demon king had been trying to figure out exactly how to deal with all of you... but to be honest, I'm not interested in any of that at all... in other words, you are extremely lucky, if you hand over young master Meliodas and the criminal Elizabeth peacefully, then I'll be willing to let you all go... what do you say?"

"We Refuse," Diane yelled, "both the captain and Elizabeth are our irreplaceable comrades

Chandler stares at Diane before waving his hand, "Microscopic,"

Diane felt her clothes becoming too big for her as she notices that she has become tiny

Merlin could be seen in the boar hat trying to walk up Escanor before giving in and trying (Y/N)

"Come on, (Y/N) if Escanor is unable to wake up then surely you should," Merlin said as the Boar hat began to shake causing Merlin to be flung into a wall closing her eyes bracing for impact only to be caught in someone's arms

"Seems that there is a problem going on outside, feels like some meteorites came crashing down," the voice said casing Merlin to open her eyes to see (Y/N) standing there as he held her in his arms.

"(Y/N)?" Merlin said.

"The one and the only, the ape sin is back in action," (Y/N) said.
