We open this story to a familiar ship, the Galaxy King, as it flies towards a familiar world.
"Wait...this is the Sins' world isn't it?" Indigo asked.
"Yep. According to the scroll, one of the Youseiken is down here." Vera said.
"Yeah. The Suzaku Soutenzan." Sunset said.
"And as luck would have it, the Sins recently returned to this world so we have a place to head to." Jexi said.
David stares into his phone.
"Checking on your recent rise in bounty from the whole Urizen incident?" Mayumi asked.
"Well, that and there's also something else." David said. "I also got a text...from Ty."
"Ty? It's been some time since we've heard from him. How's he doing?" Gemini asked.
"He's been doing well since the whole Jump Force incident. He said that he went to the Sins' world to ...gather ingredients?" David said. "Ah, that's right. The King's birthday is around this time, isn't it? No wonder."
"Guess he and the others got caught up in the celebration prep for Bartra, and are helping out with getting some top quality food." Hope said.
"Hey, I think I see the Boar's hat. Huh? Whoa!" Tails said as piling beside it was an octopus, a squip, a scorpion, a snake and a couple of eggs.
"What the heck have these guys been gathering?!" Jesse asked.
"Yo, guys!" a voice said as Ty was seen outside with Elizabeth. "Sorry about it raining ingredients. Everyone just came back from hunting."
"I hope you're all not hurt." Elizabeth said.
"Nope. No injuries here, thank goodness. Though, we didn't expect to be caught in a game of Seafood Tetris." David said.
"Heh. Welcome to my life." Ty said as the others arrived, and close behind them were six of Ty's first recruits, the Seven Deadly Sins.
First up was Ban, the Fox's Sin of Greed, then was Gowther, the Goat's Sin of Lust, then Merlin, the Boar's Sin of Gluttony, then Escanor, the Lion's Sin of Pride. Then came King, the Grizzly's sin and Sloth, and following that was Diane, the Serpent's Sin of Envy.
"Looks like the gang's all here." UlforceVeedramon said.
"Not all of them… Meliodas is missing." Leopardmon said.
"Nope. I'm right here." Meliodas said looking up Elizabeth's skirt. "Hey guys!"
"Get outta there!" Ty said grabbing Meliodas by the shoulder and pulling him away from Elizabeth.
"*sigh* You never change, do you, Meliodas?" Francisca asked.
"Nope. Once a pervert, always a pervert." Hawk said walking up.
"Hey captain, didn't you say you were gonna hook a fish that flies through the sky?" King asked as the others walked up.
"Yup, a Sky Fish." Meliodas said.
"Isn't that what you were referring to when we were looking for our new base?" Primrose asked Ty.
"Yup. That's what he was looking for. I know we came all the way out here to hunt for it but...he has yet to catch it." Ty said.
"The captain did say it might be in this area." Escanor said.
"Of course, he was basing this off a 1,000 year old legend." Merlin said.
"Maybe he just wanted to slack off, like usual." Sting said.
"That sounds like something he would do." Diane agreed.
"I gotta be honest though Ty, the way you were talking about this Sky Fish being a bunch of baloney, I thought you wanted outta this." Lector said.
"Hey, it may be baloney, but I gotta admit, I'm curious about it." Ty said. "Besides, you and Frosch fly all the time. If cats fly, why can't fish, am I right?" he joked.
"Yeah but we're Exceeds. We got magic to help us fly." Lector said. "Besides, isn't there already a Flying Fish species?"
"Yes, but they mainly jump, not fly." Fluttershy said.
"Well...not like I'm gonna see it anytime today." Meliodas sighed.
"Okay, that's enough joking around. It's time to train." Ban said.
"Train?" Sunset asked.
Inside the Boar hat…..
"I'm gonna knock the socks of Bartra with my cooking." Meliodas said spinning a knife.
"Ha! You who make numerous leftovers thinks you can cook within a day?" Hawk laughed as the knife was tossed very close to him.
"I gotta agree with the pig on this one, Meliodas. You don't exactly have a great track record when it comes to cooking, well, anything." Ty said.
"I'll ignore the negative vibes you guys are sending me. I'm ready to learn, Ban sensei!" Meliodas said.
"Well. Nice to see you recognize my talents. Okay. We'll start with something simple. An apple pie." Ban said.
"Sounds like a plan. Elizabeth, will you be my assistant?" Meliodas asked.
"Oh the lovely Eliza…" Mineta said before seeing it was Gowther.
"Gowther? Wait, you stole Diane's uniform again?!" Ty said in shock.
"Okay. First off...we peel the skin." Meliodas said as he quickly diced up the apple as it fell to the floor.
"You were supposed to peel it, not chop it up." Ban said. "And don't pick it up off the floor!" he said seeing the two pick up the pieces.
"Uh… You sure you don't want Kirumi to help you out with that?" Omnimon asked.
"Nah. I got it now." Meliodas said.
"Now a bowl of flour." Gowther said placing the bowl.
"And a pinch of salt." Meliodas said tossing a handful of salt.
"That was way more than a pinch!" Lemon said.
"Then you mix it up!" Meliodas said spinning the flour around.
"You're supposed to add water before that, you moron!" Sanji said.
"Then we stretch the dough." Meliodas said spinning and stretching the dough like he was making a pizza.
"We're making a pie, not a pizza!" Emo said. "Somebody stop that crazy idiot!"
"Then fill it with apples." Meliodas said as Gowther poured in whole uncut apples.
"Hey, those apples aren't even cut yet!" Erica said.
"And finally we bake it." Meliodas said putting it into the oven.
"You can't do anything right, can you?" Sting said.
"Oh, goodness…" Escanor sighed.
"It's all over." Merlin said.
Though to everyone's surprise, out of the oven came a fresh and visually appealing apple pie.
"Whoa, it turned out perfectly!" Hagakure siad.
"Unbelievable." Ban said.
"How the freak did that happen?" Mark asked in shock, inspecting the inside of the oven.
"Okay, so...who wants a taste? King?" Meliodas asked.
"Me? Uh...I haven't been feeling well since this morning, actually." King said.
"Okay. Diane?" Meliodas asked.
"Uh...I just ate." Diane said.
"Ban?" Meliodas asked.
"I'd rather die." Ban said.
"Not Gowther, he has no sense of taste." Meliodas said before looking to the others. "Any of you wanna try?"
"Oh uh...we can't. We uh...recently swore off apples." Jexi said.
"We did?" Ed asked before Moltar punched him in the shoulder.
"(Just play along.)" David thought.
"I'm daring, but not suicidal. I'm not eating that." Ty said.
Meliodas then looked to Lector and Frosch.
"No way! We aren't Scrap Knights, pick somebody else!" Lector said before turning to Merlin. "How about Merlin, she can eat it!"
"No...I shall eat the pie." Escanor said.
"Escanor? You sure about that?" Omnimon asked.
"I am sworn to protect Lady Merlin from all that may harm her." Escanor said ripping out a slice.
"I guess I'm not the only one that thinks this pie is poisonous." David muttered.
"Oh, this should be good." Amethyst said as Escanor took a bite of the pie.
"Whew. So far, so…" Ty said before Escanor started flashing from his mouth and eyes as he let out a scream. "Oh crap, never mind… TAKE COVER!" he said leaping behind the bar. It was after this that Escanor went and...lost his lunch.
Later….
"Ugh… That was rancid." Leopardmon said cleaning himself up.
"Tell me about it. That pie was straight up poisonous." David said.
"Now you know why I don't eat things like that...from Meliodas." Ty said.
"Well that was a bad taste in his mouth." Griffon said.
"Meliodas…" Mark said to the Sin of Wrath. "...You are banned from the Galaxy King's kitchen."
"Yup, got it pretty rough, don't we?" Meliodas asked.
"Escanor's the one who REALLY has it bad." Hawk mentioned.
They arrived at a spring along with David, Leopardmon, Kirumi, Mark, Fox, Panther, Ichiro, Nekomaru, Luffy, Usopp, Chopper, Brook, Natsu, Asta and Izuku.
"Let's hurry and get this stuff off." Hawk said.
"Hey, why don't you just lick it off yourself?" Meliodas asked Hawk.
"You crazy? I can't eat the stuff that's all the way on my butt." Hawk said.
The spring soon started to glow as they got close.
"What? No way, that's crazy. The Spring is glowing." Hawk said.
"Hey, I think I see something under water!" Asta said looking into it.
"Whoa!" Panther said as they saw fish with large feathered wings flying under the water's surface.
"Those fish… could they be?" Fox asked.
"Sky Fish! Yes! Okay, guys. Let's go and snag us some!" Meliodas said.
"I'm on it!" Luffy said jumping over the lake.
"You can't swim, you idiot!" Usopp shouted.
"Oh yeah." Luffy said falling in.
"We're coming!" Chopper and Brook said jumping after.
"You can't swim, either!" Usopp said.
"Fine. We'll do it. Come on." David said as he and Leopardmon jumped in.
The rest soon followed with Meliodas and Hawk closing the gap. As soon as the spring stopped glowing, the only one to emerge from the spring was a boy with an appearance similar to Meliodas'.
"Okay, Kagura and Saaya need some water to clear out their skin, so…" Ty said with some buckets as he saw the boy in the spring.
"Who is that?" Jesse asked. "Are you...the guardian of this spring?"
"Hmm." the boy said as he ran off.
"H-hey, wait!" Jesse shouted as the boy ran into the clearing.
"This is...the surface! This is where the great Oshiro…" the boy said looking out upon the land.
"Hey, kid! You can't run off like that!" Ty said as the others caught up with him.
"Wh-who are you people? Did you chase me through the spring too?" the boy asked.
"What? We don't know what you're talking about but there's no need to be alarmed. You're amongst friends." Ace said.
"Wait...you...most of you have no wings. Then that means...Demon Clan!" he said taking off.
"Hey, wait a second!" Ty said grabbing him. "Look, you're obviously…Huh?" he said only holding the boys cloak before seeing him in the sky flying with a pair of white wings.
"An Angel?" Ace asked.
"Wait!" Scarlet said. "Um... what's the Demon Clan?" he called after the boy.
"They're a race of demons from this world." Jexi said.
"Like Meliodas?" Spade asked.
"Yes. Meliodas is part of the Demon Clan. But...its obvious this kid is not Meliodas even though they look the same." Sci Twi said.
"Can we talk about this later? We gotta calm that guy down!" Ty said as he ran after him before he flew into an invisible wall conjured by Merlin.
"Do you think that might have been a little too rough?" Merlin asked.
"No...that was just enough." Saki said.
Meanwhile, with the spring group, they soon reemerged from the spring.
"Well, this is a fine mess you three got us in. We're trapped in some dank cave and we can't use the spring to get back." Natsu said.
"But… Where are we?" David asked.
"No clue. Weren't we diving for fish?" Mark said.
"Shh." Izuku said as they heard noises.
"This way." a voice said as several people entered the cavern. "There he is! He must have come back...with some bizarre creatures with him."
"Look at that one, it has wings!" another said. "Is he one of us?"
"It could be one of the Demon Clan." another said.
"P-please. Calm down. Leops may seem intimidating, but I assure you. He means no harm." David said.
"..." the guards looked at each other. "You. State your name and your rank." one of them said to Leopardmon.
"Forgive my intrusion. I am Leopardmon, of the Royal Knights." Leopardmon said.
"Royal Knights. We've never heard of any royal knights." one of them said.
"Wait, he might be...of course. He must be one of the great Oshiro's personal knights." another said.
"Must be." another said.
"Oshiro?" Kirumi asked.
"Look, we won't arrest you but these others need to be arrested. This is a sacred spring." the first one said.
"Um...okay." Mark said. "Just out of curiosity, what do you call this world?"
"Silence! You're with Solaad, and that's all the more proof we need you are violating the law." they said.
"Solaad? Who are you talking about?" Nekomaru asked.
"Him. He is Solaad." the guard said pointing to Meliodas.
"Look, this is all just one big misunderstanding. I'm sure we can sort this whole thing out." David said.
"Oh we'll sort it out." the guards said before they surrounded them and escorted them out of the cave as a large man approached. "Master Zoria!"
"Why have you done this, Solaad?" he said.
"Solaad?" Meliodas asked.
"Detain them and take them to the temple." Zoria said.
"Yes sir!" they said as they took them down a path past some strange stone statues.
"What's with these statues? More importantly, where are you taking us?" David asked.
"Uh...guys! Look!" Asta said as they saw a sea of clouds right under the land.
"Holy moley!" David said.
"An entire kingdom in the sky?" Leopardmon asked.
"Guys…. I don't think we're in the Magic Universe anymore…" Ichiro said.
"Hey! Look!" Luffy said as leaping from the clouds was a gigantic fish with large feathered wings.
"A sky fish!" Chopper said as the fish parted some clouds concealing a small town ahead along with a giant stone egg sitting on a hill.
"Wow." Mark said. "What is that place called?"
"You have no clue and you've lived here your whole life? This is the Sky Temple, you fool." one of the guards said.
"We were just passing by. We had no idea about any of this." David said.
"Save your lies for the lady of the temple. She'll want to see you." the guard said.
"Well...I'll say it...we're in a most amazing place! We're above the clouds!" Meliodas said.
