《The Eight Deadly Sins》Chapter 21
Advertisement
A few years have passed, or decades, or centuries since both Ban and (Y/N) entered Purgatory. (Y/N) could be seen running as fast as he could as a demon fox chases him trying to kill him. The fox goes to sing at him as (Y/N) jumps onto his arm then running up it to punch him in the face. The fox falls to the ground as (Y/N) uses this to get some distance between them.
(Y/N): COME ON SNAP OUT OF IT
The fox rises from the ground charging at (Y/N) grabbing hold of him holding him over a pool of lava, (Y/N) struggles to breath and get out of the foxes grasp as the fox starts to breath heavier, the fox then drops (Y/N) as the fox grasp his head in pain. (Y/N) breaths in causing him to be in some pain. The fox screams before his shape changes before he then becomes Ban with a long beard and hair.
Ban: what the. What have I been doing?
(Y/N) (still struggling to breath): you became a beast of purgatory
Ban: whoa, that was no joke. A little longer and I would have become a full-fledged resident of purgatory, how long has passed?
(Y/N): a few centuries. I think.
Ban: DAMNIT, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU CAP'N!!
The two continue their way as the heat burns them and the frost freezes them at the same time
Ban: you know Merin was not kicking about purgatory, this place is intense.
(Y/N): no kidding, honestly, I think the only reason me and you are still alive is because of your immortality and my biology.
(Y/N) then falls over as Ban catches him
Ban: I got you
(Y/N): thanks. We better keep moving we need to find the cap
(Y/N) moves on as Ban follows behind
Ban: how come you haven't turned into a monster yet (Y/N)? I mean haven't you felt despair as, you know, you are the sins of despair.
(Y/N): I think it might have to be that I am in constant despair
Ban: huh
(Y/N): I honestly think that ever since the incident I have always been in despair, making my mindset the best for someone in purgatory, though I think that it is the same for you too.
Ban: and what does that mean?
(Y/N): didn't you tell me once that you grew up in a terrible place?
Ban: mmm. Oh yea, it was when we went passed it when the two of us were sent to deal with a tribe of rouge giants. Hold on, in that mission you left me to deal with the giants by myself didn't you.
(Y/N): Nooo. I just was dealing with some... wildlife.
Ban: wildlife my ass.
(Y/N) but I was, seriously
Ban: I am not buying it.
(Y/N): of course you don't, you steal it
The two start to laugh
Ban: man, I miss those easy days
(Y/N): me too
A giant worm then comes out of nowhere before it eats them both, it then rises as the two then beat up the worm from the inside as it drops to the floor killing it.
The two appear covered in the green looking blood of the creature
(Y/N): come on, we need to find the cap and get out of this hell hole

Ban: yeah
The two keep on waling as the ground gives way causing the two to fall
(Y/N): great
Ban: just our luck
The two falls continue to fall bouncing down the side of the cliff before they hit the ground
(Y/N): ow
Ban: you said it
(Y/N) get up as Ban continues to lay down before he punches the ground
Ban: Cap'n, where the hell are you?
The two then feal a presence as a demonic dragon jumps down, (Y/N) backs away as it then crushes Ban, it looks as if Ban is returning into the demonic fox before he turns back to normal
Ban: like hell I am giving up.
Ban lifts the dragon's foot off him, moving out from under it and kicking the dragon in the face, the dragon retaliates by shooting fire at Ban causing his bearded to be burned off and his hair to turn back to normal.
Ban: alright then, I have some time to spar with you, BRING IT ON
(Y/N) takes up the cliff as he watches the two fight for a day, then a month, then a year, then a few decades strait
The two become exhausted as the dragon goes to sleep
Ban: seriously, you are just getting on my nerves now. How many decades do you think we have been fighting like this, (pants) we are in the middle of searching for a friend right now.
Ban then collapses to the floor exhausted
Ban: right now, I am exhausted
Bans eyes then close as (Y/N) watches from a distance with a smile as the dragon pulls Ban in as it then goes to sleep.
As the day goes by, Ban wakes up seeing the dragon sleeping
Ban: what the? This thing's actually grown attached to me now? (sigh) c'mon cap'n, let's go home already, right now everyone is waiting for the three of us to return, and they are holding out for us, giving it their all for you. Besides, there's a woman precious to me that I must see again.
The demon fades away as a voice calls out
???: yeah... me too.
Bans eyes shoots open
Ban: what the hell was that
(Y/N) then slides down the cliff to join Ban as he looks around.
Ban: hey, (Y/N) do you know where the dragon had gone to?
(Y/N) points next Ban as he looks, he sees someone
Ban: so, this is where you were
Meliodas: Elizabeth, I want to see you.
Ban picks up Meliodas as (Y/N) punches a cave in the cliff to protect them from the storms. Ban puts Meliodas down before he sits down next to him as (Y/N) joins them.
Ban: we did it we found the cap'n
(Y/N): yeah
Meliodas slowly starts to wake up as he looks up at Ban
Ban: hey then, how are you feeling?
Meliodas: why, why am I seeing an illusion like this? There's no way he'd be in purgatory
Both Ban and (Y/N) start to chuckle
Ban: WE are the real deal baby, or should I say, cap'n
Meliodas looks at Ban in shock before running over crying into Bans shoulder
(Y/N): without a doubt, this is our cap
Meliodas slowly calm down looking at (Y/N)
Meliodas: and who are you?

(Y/N): come on cap, that is not funny
Ban: that is (Y/N), he changed shortly after the fight you had with Escanor
(Y/N): oh yeah, I forgot I did that
Ban: how could you forget that?
(Y/N) simply surges at the question
Meliodas: wow, to think I had seen everything.
(Y/N): it's odd, I can tell you that.
Meliodas: I had given up on ever getting out of purgatory to the real world, I thought that I would never get to see Elizabeth, you two and the rest of the sins again. But what are you too doing here did some take both of you out?
(Y/N): as if
Ban: nope, we came all this way to get you out of here
Meliodas: wait does that mean you know a way out
Ban: nope, but (Y/N) got to.
Meliodas: do you?
(Y/N): ermm
Meliodas: though so
(Y/N): I had a plan, the first step was to find you
Meliodas: and then?
(Y/N): and then I would think of the next step
Ban: are you kidding me
Meliodas: you two really are a moron. Without a plan, you jumped into here not knowing a way out.
Ban: what where we supposed to do? Just leave you here alone in a place like this.
(Y/N) nods his head
Meliodas: guess it pays to have idiot friends then nishshi
Ban: heh
(Y/N): you be right
The three start the run off.
Meliodas: well, we go pleeeenty of time
Ban: yeah, let's get to thinking
(Y/N): then we go to save the relm
The group start to look down on two creatures
Meliodas: there are two types of creatures here in purgatory, the first are the souls that have fallen to purgatory and been transformed by their rage and despair, they will disintegrate on death as well.
Ban: so, the things that we turned into, right?
Meliodas: right
(Y/N): so, the other must be creators that were born here, right?
Meliodas: correct, those are the once that we need to hunt down.
Ban: so, we are after their materials then.
They watch as a giant demonic centipede goes to kill a rabbit dog, only for it to vanish as they see it running off
Ban: that thing can move.
(Y/N): no kidding
Ban and (Y/N) start to give case as they then go to strike it the rabbit dog changes direction and heads to Meliodas
Ban: Cap'n it is coming your way.
The rabbit dog keeps on going ploughing through Meliodas. Making (Y/N) and Ban look at him in shock
Meliodas: man, I should have expected that.
Ban: what the hell was that, where is all that monstrous strength you have
Meliodas: at the most, I'm only Meliodas' emotions, kind of like his soul. Even if we try to escape purgatory together, in the end I am only going to slow you down.
(Y/N): not with that attitude you won't
Meliodas looks at the two confused
Ban: (Y/N) right, if that is the case then we will carry you
The group continues for day trying to kill the rabbit dog as ban gets first hit and killing him.
Ban: I GOT HIM
The three find a cave as ban and Meliodas start on making some clothes for them as (Y/N) sits by a fire watching the meat cook
Meliodas: hey, Ban. (Y/N)
Ban: what's up
Meliodas: you two really are incredible
(Y/N) gets a look of shock on his face
Ban: what's with that, all of a sudden?
Meliodas: just wanting to say thanks
Ban smiles as (Y/N) continues to watch the meat as shadows cover his eyes.
Ban: you know, when Merlin said that you were captured by the demon king, so I assumed that you were held somewhere.
Meliodas: yeah, at first I was being confined by the demon king under close watch, since I was trying to look for an escape route from here to the real world. But in the end, I wasn't able to find a way out, so I succumbed to despair and gave up turning to a monster, he felt it was safe to just leave me here to wonder then.
(Y/N): if that is the case, wouldn't that mean that there is an escape, I mean, why would he need to watch you if there was no way out.
Ban: yeah, and wouldn't that mean leaving you alone means that you can't just bump into it randomly?
Meliodas: that's true
Meliodas then gets struck with an idea
Meliodas: hold on, couldn't we use (Y/N) blue box?
Ban: I forgot about that.
(Y/N): I would work for me and Ban, but not you cap
Meliodas: why is that
(Y/N): I mean, you are here and not here at the same time, that alone will cause the TARDIS to not be able to function, it is a safety protocol after all.
Ban: could you remove it
(Y/N): can't, too dangerous. She won't allow me to remove any of the safety protocols that had put in, besides even The Time God couldn't pull you out of time right now.
Meliodas: Time God? Are you saying there are more gods that the demon king and supreme deity?
(Y/N): oh yes there are many gods, The God of Destruction, The Time God, God of Life, the God of Death, The Twin Gods, God of Thunder, Fire, God of Water, God of Earth, God of Wind. The list goes on forever, and if you were lucky, you can find that some of them are killable.
Meliodas: hmm
(Y/N): anyway we have gone off trace, the demon king wouldn't know of the TARDIS as Hawk never saw it, so there must be another exit.
Meliodas: true, if he feared me leaving, and then left me on my own, wouldn't that mean that it would be close to him then.
Ban: well, it wouldn't hurt to check it out right?
Ban and Meliodas continue to make the clothing as (Y/N) finishes of cooking the meat before making his own set of clothing. Making a simple short sleaved black top with red claw marks coming from the bottom of the top to the middle and black shorts with a hole in it to allow his tail to be out.
The three head off in the direction of the demon king
Meliodas: well then, let's begin our escape mission.

Single Mother Cultivator: Determination to deny her naïve son a terrible destiny
Lucia Martinez had to fight for every little victory in her life, especially when she was responsible for raising a teenage son by herself. But when the teen gets summoned to another world by a dysfunctional martial sect as their would-be savior, she’ll have to fight harder than ever just to get him back. Brought along to a world of Eastern fantasy, Lucia finds herself face to face with obscure magical creatures, various rich cultures, and a familiar yet unique chi-based magic system that every faction has their own way of looking at. Single Mother Cultivator is as the title suggests, a Cultivation novel. Unlike other Cultivation stories, this one focuses on multiple Asian mythologies rather than just Chinese myth, and isn’t just a generic power fantasy. It explores the very nature of strength itself, and how it could and should be used. The foundational power system is the same for both major factions, with differences in their philosophies on how to pursue it. New chapters on Mon-Wed-Fri
