"A Giant suit of armor?" Hope asked.

"Yes. Supposedly it's been rampaging across the countryside at night. Its description bares resemblance to the suit that Gowther would wear. He's one of the sins as well." Meliodas said.

"Is Gowther that intimidating enough to wear a giant suit of armor?" Flamberge asked.

"Nah, Gowther isn't like that at all." Ty said.

"And how would you know? You never even met him." Meliodas said.

"Well… I've heard about him through rumours." Ty said.

"Either way, it's worth checking out." Meliodas said as they started approaching an area filled with fog.

"I can't see a damn thing." Zelos said.

"Which means were going in the right direction. Any area with a lot of cover is good for a giant." Hope said. "We just need to find the armor and…" he said before feeling the ground shake. "You guys feel that too?"

"Sure did." David said.

"Were getting close. Keep your guards up." Vera said.

"Right. We just need to find the….armor." Ty said before seeing a large suit of armor standing in the middle of the fog.

"Oh my god…." Hope siad.

"Please don't kill us!" Happy said.

"Calm down...that is quite enough." a voice said as out of the fog appeared a young man with short pink hair and glasses. "There is no need to act out."

"So… this Armor is immobile?" Happy asked. "Phew."

"I'm guessing this is Gowther." Francisca said.

"That is absolutely right. He is the sin of Lust and….wait...that doesn't make sense. If he's here...then who's in the armor?" Ty said.

"I dunno. It might as well be an empty suit." Hope said.

"Wrong." Gowther said as he went and ripped the helmet off the armor to reveal the head of a man with some demonic tendrils attached to it as the armor stood there.

"Wait...is that...Dale?" Meliodas said.

"Dale? I heard he was a promising Holy Knight but...why does he look like this?" Ty asked.

"Because he has demon blood too right?" Francisca asked.

"Yes. I found him deformed like that and sealed him inside my armor to keep the power contained." Gowther said.

"Wait… This guy. Could he be...Guila's father?" David asked.

"Yes. He is." Gowther said. "But the way he is now...it is time for him to die right now."

"Damn it… I feel bad for Guila, but we can't let him suffer like this anymore." David said. "Gowther's right. Killing him now would be a mercy."

"Then let's get to it." Hope said.

(Cue-The Stains of Time: Maniac Agenda Mix)

Suddenly feeling threatened, Dale let out a roar as the large armored giant started attacking them left and right.

"We gotta end this fast!" Hope said blocking a strike. "Jude, go!"

"Here goes. Beast!" Jude said as he strikes Dale with intense force, creating a blast of energy in the image of a lion's head.

"We need to take out its limbs to minimize its attack options." Gowther said.

"I'll take the legs. Ice Devil's Rage!" Gray shouted as the attack froze a lot of the area including the armor's legs as the beast screeched in pain. "Since he's partly a demon now, my magic is super effective against it."

"Yeah. That's probably the sad part." David said as he fires a hail of bullets at the arms.

"Now...to deal with the heart of the creature." Gowther said.

"I'll take it." Francisca said holding her weapon up. "It's better he die fast and no longer in pain." she said pulling it back. "Icy….Spear!" she said tossing her weapon as it changed into a spear as it pierced through the giant's chest.

"First mercy kill?" David asked.

"Yes…" Francisca said.

"Trust me. Those deaths are always the hard and emotional ones." David said.

(End song)

"I know one thing, Guila is not gonna be happy when she finds out about this." Hope said.

"Still...it is puzzling. The new generation of knights are incredibly powerful. And the monster was rampaging for awhile. So...why didn't they send someone down to deal with it?" Colette wondered.

"They're obviously preparing for something. To re-ignite a war, or something else." Hope said.

"No...its like something else is going on." Meliodas said. "Either way...I already know the next stop….we're going to the capital of the kingdom. We're taking the fight to them."

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" David asked.

"I need to get that sword back. The one with the dragon hilt." Meliodas said.

"Ah, that's right. You lost it when the knights attacked Vaizel. There's no telling what they'll do with that in their possession." Dark Metaknight said.

"But it's now or never. If we have any chance of stopping the New Generation and preventing Notcurne and Zane from finding Vulcanusmon… this all has to end at the capital." Hope said.

"Oh sure, fight a thousand strong army of Holy knights, a generation of them infused with demon blood, and two titans." Ty said.

"You got any better ideas?" Dark Metaknight said.

"No." Ty said.

"There you go." Dark Metaknight said.

"Ty, you asked yourself if you were a dragon, right?" Hope said. "Well i know one thing, a Dragon would never show doubt in himself. The Dragon never backs down from any odds. It doesn't yield…. It fights."

"Okay, you sold me." Ty said. "Guess here we go. Onto the capital then."
