(This is my first fanfic, a What If universe to the Seven Deadly Sins, changing the story as I can, I'll try to edit the story when the manga gets curveball's, because I'm rebuilding a world from another that is already amazing on its own.

Rated T(for swearing and whatever else may come into it).
Prologue:The Day of Exile
(10 years earlier)
The seven famous knights of the Kingdom of Liones were betrayed as they were accused of the death of the Great Holy Knight Zaratras. However, some of them met people who causes different decisions to be made. Decisions that weren't intended in the first place. Decisions that would change what might've happened. Decisions that created the reality where things would be completely different.
(In the Kingdom of Liones)
The groups of misfit Knights stood in the room by themselves, accompanied only by the hanging corpse of the former Great Holy Knight. A strong, growing presence filled their senses as reality brought them back from one shook to the next.
"We're surrounded by all the Knights of the Kingdom!"
"Shit... They're starting to attack! Captain!"
"We'll figure this out later. For now, disperse! We'll regroup afterwards."
"Understood!"
The small, blond-haired knight started to run off, only to stop as he heard words aimed at him.
"Captain...I'm sorry..."
The Captain of the Seven Deadly sins fell to the ground as a woman hovered over him, a crystal ball levitating in her hand. The magician looked down at the small knight, a small feeling of guilt ringing against her insides...

A tall knight in red armor took the heads of two Holy Knights as he leapt from side to side of an alleyway out of the Kingdom. He stopped his quick movement and started to walk along the path. The Fox's Sin of Greed hummed to himself an old tune as he tried to not think about how he'd miss the ale imported to the Kingdom,
"A lick will add ten years to your life,
A swallow will add a hundred years to your life,
Drink it all, and you'll live foreveeer!"
The man kept humming in his head, taking the hearts of a few Knights who charged him from behind, his nunchakus spinning around in his hand across his shoulder. The Holy Knights fell to the ground, blood bursting from their mouths and their chests. He twirled his weapon in the air, his humming transformed into whistling as he nonchalantly walked towards the exit gates of the kingdom.
"That's a fine tune you know." A new voice echoed into the air.
The knight turned in reaction to the new comer, his grip tightening with surprise "Why thaaanks. Now where are ya?"
"Look above yourself."
The red-clad knight looked up and saw Holy Knight Sir Dreyfus staring down at him, wearing his own scarlet armor. He wore a face of humor and arrogance.
"Hey there Dreeeeyfus, gonna try and kill me?" Ban inquired.
"Not today" the smug knight replied, his arms crossed, "However, I would like to speak with you about a bargain I had in mind."
The Fox's Sin of Greed's face was emotionless underneath his helmet as he returned the gaze of the Holy Knight, "Somethin in it for me?"
"Certainly. Specifically, the Horn of Cernunnos if you fill out your end of the bargain."
"That rusty old goddess hoooorn? Why the hell would I care bout tha..." The knight's sentence was cut off by a train of thought, as Ban remembered what exactly the horn was, and what it was rumored to do.
An Apprentice Holy Knight wandered through an alleyway to wear Sin stood, "Hey you! Drop your...whatever it is and surrend…"
The young man was cut off as his windpipe was ripped out of his body faster than the boy could blink.
"Quiet kiiiid, this is grown up stuff."

At the same time, a fat man in armor was floating in the air over a giant body also in armor. Standing on a building close-by was a man with shoulder-length silver hair, his confident smile causing discomfort for the Grizzly's Sin of Sloth.
"…It's really not that hard of an arrangement to understand. Either you go off on your own and leave your comrade behind or you stay. Whichever you choose, I will still have her dead by the end of my own goal and mission. This death is only the beginning. You Seven Deadly Sins have been branded traitors by the kingdoms today and even if there was someone who believed that you weren't the ones who killed the Great Holy Knight Zaratras, you have still slaughtered several of the Holy Knights residing in the Kingdom of Liones. Families, friends, Knights who may have even looked up to you. There is no escaping this fate set before you. Whatever your choice, you will be hated and hunted by those resisting the future. So, King, the Grizzly's Sin of Sloth, what will it be?"
"…I'll do it."
And that concludes the prologue for this idea I've been toying around with for a long time. Comment if you can please, I'm willing to hear the good and the critiques coming to me for my first story. Hope you all are intrigued so far and I hope to have those who decide to keep reading will enjoy it. I'll update it as much as I can.
