Back with the others, the boy they found was starting to stir inside the Galaxy King's Med Bay.
"Had a nice nap, kid?" Ty asked as the boy, who was the one the guards called Solaad, opened his eyes.
"Are you alright?" Ace asked.
"We're all so glad you're awake." Elizabeth smiled.
"Huh? Ah!" Solaad said in shock as he grabbed Elizabeth. "Ellatt? What are you doing here?! And why are you in that outfit."
"Who's Elatt?" Hope asked as Ban grabbed Solaad by the head.
"And what have you done with the Captain?" Ban asked as Solaad laid his eyes on the rest of the Sins and the Hero alliance.
"Listen Ell, you need to run and stay away. I'll take care of the Demon Clan." Solaad said.
"What's he talking about?" Leonora asked.
"But...they have a...she must be an enslaved Celestial." Solaad said.
"Close. I'm a Valkyrie. Well, not an official one. I was born human." Leonora said.
"Whatever the case, you need to help me take care of the demon clan!" Soladd said.
"Hey, hey hey! Easy there, hot wings!" Ty said waving his hands. "We aren't demons, relax."
"He's right. We're mostly human but others are of different races. But none of us are of the Demon Clan." Merlin said.
"Uh… actually…" Hope said before Jexi smacked him.
"You want him to run again? Keep your mouth shut." Jexi whispered.
"Right, right. Got it." Hope said.
"You're telling the truth?" Solaad asked.
"Yup. Escanor's human. Ban's formerly a human. Merlin… uh, I dunno what she is but I think she's human. Gowther's a sentient doll, King's, well, king of the Fairy Clan, and Diane's of the Giant Clan." Titanica said.
"But...that's impossible. The Humans, Fairy Clan and Giant Clan were wiped out by the Demon Clan during the Holy War. Does that mean the legends we have been told are wrong?" Solaad said.
"What are these legends you speak of?" Ace asked.
"On a better note, who are you?" Takeshi asked.
"He is Solaad. A Celestial of the Celestial Clan." Gowther said.
"How did he…?" Connie asked.
"He's got Magic that lets him read minds." Ty said.
"Yes. I peeked into his memories while he slept. What does...time of ruin mean?" Gowther said.
Meanwhile in the sky…
"Wow...look at all these people. Are they preparing for a festival?" Hawk asked.
"Maybe it's one where they eat you?" Meliodas joked.
"Hey! I would not let them do that! Well, maybe a taste." Hawk said.
"I'm not even going to comment on that." David said with a sweatdrop.
"Uh, don't look now, but I think everyone's staring at us…" Izuku said as the citizens were looking at them and whispering words.
"Just stay calm. Don't do anything sudden." Leopardmon said.
"He's right. If we talk this over with their elder, we might get them to let us go." Usopp said.
They soon entered a temple where guards lined up to show them to a strange statue.
"What is that? Looks like an obese pig." Hawk said.
"So it's your brother." Luffy said.
"What? I am way slimmer than that!" Hawk said.
"Listen here, Solaad and strangers of Solaad. You all have broken one of our most sacred laws." a voice said.
"Gah! The statue's talking!" Asta said.
"Down here!" the voice said as they looked down to see a short yet old woman standing there.
"Are you...the elder of this village?" David asked.]
"Yes. I am Vaness. And you have some nerve to mess around at a time like this." Vaness said. "I know you detest training Solaad, despite being the successor of the Winged Sword. However...in order to defend our village from the Demon Clan, you must inherit the Winged Sword and fight for your people. That is the law we Celestials must always obey."
"(Winged Sword?)" Nekomaru said taking a look at a silver blade shaped like a wing. "(Could that be Suzaku Soutenzan? No, it can't. The Design on the map is different from this.)"
"Look, this is all just a big misunderstanding. We're not who you think we are." David said. "We're just a bunch of travelers passing by."
"Ha! Just an apparent lie. If you are travelers, then where do you hail from?" Vaness demanded.
"Tokyo, Japan. In the Standard Universe." David said.
"Tokyo? Japan? Standard Universe? What is with these bizarre made up words?" Vaness said.
"You mean to tell me you don't know about the other universes up here, Granny?" Meliodas asked.
"Ah!" she said before the guards pointed spears at them.
"How dare you speak to Mistress Vaness like that!" one of them said.
"Solaad, you bastard!" the other said.
"Wait, we can prove this isn't who you think it is!" Mark said.
"Has Solaad returned?" a voice asked as running in was a girl who looked very similar to Elizabeth.
"Who is she?" Asta said.
"Elizabeth?" Nekomaru said.
"Nah, it's not her. Just someone who looks like her." Meliodas said.
"Great, nothing we say is going to prove our innocence." Leopardmon said. "These people know nothing of the other Universes. What are we supposed to do? Get them to bow before us?" Leopardmon said as Vaness gasped looking at the group.
"Its...it cannot be. It's...it's them!" Vaness said. "The Knights of Oshiro!"
"The knights of...who now?" Asta asked.
"The Knights of Oshiro, as shown in the ancient drawings!" Vaness said pointing to a painting on the wall showing ancient versions of the current group there.
"Whoa… What the heck are we seeing?" David asked.
"You don't have any ancestry in this world, do you?" Izuku asked.
"No. None that I know of." David said.
"It's not us. Clearly we just happen to look like the people in that painting." Brook said.
"Alternate versions... just like the other Eds you talked about." Mark added.
"Hehe. I just got an idea. You all...you are sadly mistaken! We are not those people. However...we are their long long descendants!" Usopp said.
"What're you doing?! Lyings not gonna help!" Nekomaru said.
"No, Nekomaru. I think he might actually be going somewhere with this." Leopardmon said.
"Is this true?" Vaness said.
"Indeed. Long ago, our ancestors after accomplishing their mission, left for lands far beyond this one. We may have grown up apart and not knowing of our roots but as time passed, we soon relearned them upon grouping up through no need to mention means. And now, we find ourselves here by accident, here to protect your village from evil!" Usopp said.
"Our saviors have come!" Vaness said in shock.
In the confusion, the girl who was being held back was able to break free of her cloak and take flight.
"Whoa, she has wings?!" Hawk asked.
"Solaad!" the girl said landing and hugging Meliodas. "Why did you have to do this? Wait... no, it can't…" the girl said removing Meliodas's cloak. "Ah! Solaad's wings...they're gone!"
"Uh...yes. Uh…"Usopp said.
"You dare to toss aside your wings? Unforgivable!" Zoria said.
"You ran from your succession ceremony and decide to come back with your Celestial Wings missing?" a guard said.
"I've heard enough! Toss him into a cell until a verdict has been decided!" Vaness said.
"No wait! We can…" Izuku said.
"Eh. I don't really mind." Meliodas said.
"But… Meliodas." David said.
"Don't worry. I'll be fine." Meliodas said. "Just be sure to bring some food and sake for me."
"Solaad, after everything you've done. You are no longer my son." Zoria said.
"Your son? Oh no big deal. I wasn't your son to start with." Meliodas said being escorted to a cell.
"Just...what the heck is going on around here?" David asked.
"You all can stay in my quarters, along with this bizarre creature." Vaness said looking to Hawk.
Later that night and back on the ground…
"It's so weird. He looks like the captain, but he's a completely different person." DIane said.
"So, we calmed down now?" Hope asked.
"Yes, and… I'm sorry for running away before." Solaad said.
"It's quite alright. We'd probably be running scared too if we were in your position." Sachiko asked.
"So, lemme see if I got this right." Starlight said. "Meliodas went with David and the others into the spring at the same time you did, and now you're on Earth with us, and they're in this Sky Temple?"
"That's basically it in a nutshell." Gallantmon said.
"So basically you went the way of the wimp and ran away from your duties." Ban said. "All cause you're afraid of the Demon Clan resurrecting."
"I didn't run away!" Solaad snapped.
"Then why did you come here?" Ty asked.
"Well, it's just…" Solaad said. "Only the great Oshiro can save us and we need him now more than ever."
"Great what now?" Applejack asked.
"Great Oshiro, and the time of ruin. This is certainly interesting. Could you tell us about it more?" Merlin asked.
