Acnologia sat atop the Boar Hat's bar, watching as the Sins stood vigil over their fallen comrades grave. The small brown haired boys name was Harlequin, or King as he went by... was openly crying his heart out to the skies. He had noticed the grievous injuries the girl had received and was mildly curious as to how she had considering he had felt the power emanating from her friends. Truth be told however, he could not have cared less about the girl herself. Acnologia was simply biding his time and waiting for his magic to return, and once it had, he was going to search for a way to return to Earthland. 'I will have to play along for now... Anyone here could easily kill me in this weakened state. Attacking them would be a mistake.'

Acnologia watched for almost an hour before he jumped off of the roof of the bar, and headed back inside where he knew Gowther had already retreated to. When he entered he approached Gowther who was sitting in a corner of the bar reading a book. "Gowther, the one who died out there. Who killed her?" the pink haired boy continued to read his book as he answered. "Judging by her wounds, she was likely killed by Derieri of the Ten Commandments. Her body was pulverized by sheer brute strength. The likelihood of this is ninety-two percent." Acnologia kicked his chair back, half leaning against the wall and resting his shoe-less feet on the table.

"The Ten Commandments eh? And who are these Ten Commandments?" Acnologia asked while staring at the ceiling.

"That is correct, the Ten Commandments. The elite of the Demon Clan, The Demon King's Chosen Ten who were bestowed with a commandment. They strike fear even into the Goddess clan." Acnologia cocked an eyebrow and smiled.
"The Elite of the Demon Clan eh? I heard of a group like that once. The Nine Demon Gates. They died pitifully, I would have reveled in it if I wasn't otherwise preoccupied." Gowther ignored him and continued reading his book.

"So Gowther, where are these 'Ten Commandments'? I would like to pay them a visit." Gowther finally tore his eyes away from the book.
"That is a terrible idea. The Ten Commandments are brutal and would likely kill you on sight." Acnologia smirked, must be pretty powerful if they can kill one of these monsters... they were nearly as powerful as himself if not a bit stronger. This didn't disturb Acnologia as he thought it would if he ever encountered someone more powerful than him, it only served to excite him.

"Of course they are. Well, interesting talk Gowther." Acnologia stood up and left without waiting to see if Gowther even acknowledged him. He approached a window near the front door of the building and looked outside, the other members of the Seven Deadly Sins were still hovering over the girls grave. "Foolish." he muttered to himself. He walked out the door and began walking in the direction opposite of the Sins, into the forest. He needed to clear his head and reflect on the events of the past two weeks. Had it really only been two weeks? Two weeks since the Black Mage entered his hideout on Mt. Zonia, and the war between Alvarez and Ishgar started. It didn't matter now, he continued walking deeper and deeper into the forest. He kept walking until he reached the meadow where he had first arrived into this world.

For what seemed like an eternity he floated in the crystal clear water, lying on his back and staring into the sky. It was moments like these where he felt almost normal, almost like the man that he was four hundred years ago. He reminisced on his past, mainly on the day that he became The Dragon King. His close friend drank from the goblet, and his body quickly began to convulse and shake... an explosion of hell fire, and when the smoke cleared it was not his close friend who stood there, but a massive dragon. The events of that day had lead him to fiercely throw himself into battle, to protect what little he had left. He eventually lost himself, lost himself to his bloodlust, he fell into a trance and for seven days, he killed, and he killed, and he killed. He killed until The Dragons were gone, forever. He had won the Dragon King Festival, and claimed the title of Dragon King for himself, he had changed his name on that day. Akuno the street rat from the lower districts of Crocus, became Acnologia The King of Dragons. "If I had to do it all again... I would... no mercy." he smiled at the thought. Acnologia still thought of himself as the Supreme King of The Dragons.

"But there were no dragons to be ruled. You killed them all didn't you?" Acnologia, startled, erupted from the water and with blinding speed, he rushed the man who had so effortlessly snuck up on him. Now standing behind him, an orb of magical energy barely contained within the palm of his hand and nearly pressed into Gowther's back.
"Gowther, why were you invading my thoughts?" Acnologia growled into his ear, even Gowther surely recognized the threat behind his words. Gowther ignored the veiled threat and spoke plainly "I was not able to see everything before you closed off your mind. Why did you kill the dragons?" Acnologia scowled and let his magic dissipate. "None of your damn business." Acnologia began to stalk off towards the Boar Hat once more. "There was once dragons on this continent. They have long since disappeared. I wonder if they are the same dragons you killed." Acnologia ignored Gowther and continued walking along with a scowl.

as Acnologia trampled through the forest, his mood soured by Gowther's intrusion, he paid no heed to his sense of direction. After an hour had passed he had realized that he had climbed up the mountain behind the Boar Hat, and was nearing the peak. He looked down and smiled happy to be near the familiar realm he called his own. He was the King of Dragons, and no matter what world, the skies... well they belonged to him. He shifted into his preferred form, that of The Terrible Acnologia, King of Dragons. He launched himself into the bitter cold air, and took it into his lungs, relishing the chance to stretch his wings and explore. He flew for almost a half day exploring the skies of Britannia and mapping out the land below him, it would take more than one flight but he would eventually memorize the countries lay out. Eventually this entire world.

After a half day had passed he began flying back towards The Boar Hat. His injuries, although healed a fair bit, had still left a little bruising and he needed to return to rest.
out of the blue a shock wave knocked Acnologia's flight pattern off and he had to re-steady himself, not long after a second, third, fourth and fifth shock wave fired off followed by five gigantic rapid booms. Judging from the delay they had to be a few hundred miles off the shore.
Acnologia chose not to investigate, he needed rest and nothing he thought, could pose any true threat save maybe the sins he had met and possibly these commandments he had heard of. But surely he flew high enough that neither would have even noticed him.

ROARRRRRR!

A colossal sound struck Acnologia's ears, and dread filled his heart and mind. "Dammit! The Hunters found their way into this world..." Acnologia increased his speed, this was extremely disturbing to the Dragon King. The Hunters were the only dragons he had not managed to kill yet, five enormously powerful dragons that rivaled even him, their only purpose was to hunt down and kill Acnologia, they had tried many times in the past and failed, but their arrival in this world was not a good sign. He continued to fly, comforted by the fact that the hunters would not seek him out immediately, they would lay low for a few weeks, months even before making a move. This however did change his plans, he would have to make allies in this world if he intended to survive, he was not as strong as he was on Earthland and he knew it. He had lost roughly thirty percent of his original power in addition to his time rift powers. The Sins would be his only hope to survive. "Making friends with mortals... how disgusting." he snarled. It had to be done in order for him to find his way home eventually.

As he drew closer to the Boar Hat over the next few hours, he noticed ten more energy signatures, rapidly approaching the Boar Hat, "Those must be the commandments... they are indeed impressive." he thought outloud. "This will be my chance to gain their favor then, let's hunt some hell freaks."
BOOM!

Just as Acnologia landed upon the far side of the mountains, an explosion of energy erupted from the boar hat. "REVENGE COUNTER!"
Acnologia smiled, the battle had started not three minutes ago and listening to the sound, it seemed the sins had lost. Acnologia aimed his jump, and erupted from the mountain side, destroying the entire top half of the mountain in his explosive wake.
ROARRRR!
He landed directly behind the ten demonic figures, the sins all laying nearly unconscious behind them.
The Demons eyes grew wide, as a magic circle appeared directly above them, shining light erupted from it and when the flash cleared. The Demons were gone, The Dragon tensed his wings, and flung himself to the skies, circling once and then firing off a blast at the mountain, completely disintegrating it.

He flew into the night sky, a sound akin to laughing erupting from his mouth.
He would return the next day to check on his new friends.

A/N: I wanted this to come out sooner, but I got a bit lazy. Hopefully next chapter will be out sometime in the next 7 days! Thanks for the support! :D
