Part 14:
In an open area surrounded by grass, Meliodas, Elizabeth, Ban, Elaine, King, Diane, Gowther, Griamore, Veronica and Hawk stood outside the boar hat facing the lion sin of pride Escanor.
"I see you grew a mustache since the last time we saw you" said Ban.
"Wait this guy is siriously one of the seven deadly sins" said Veroncia surprised the man in front of them is one of the seven deadly sins from the way he looked.
"I know he doesn't look like it but he's really powerful, even as strong as me" said Meliodas then looking back at Escanor, "I guess those glasses Merlin gave you really worked" he said.
"Merlin, if you are all here is she with you" asked Escanor urgently.
"Sorry but we haven't heard anything about where she could be" said Elizabeth.
Escanor then looked at Elizabeth, "Those wings, you're from the goddess race" he said.
"Yeah it can be surprising at first, but Escanor what are you doing all the way out here" said Diane.
"Uh I was trying to start my own bar somewhere in a mountain, but I was having trouble finding a supplier, so I thought I would go around and ask other people to help, but it's good to be with you all again" he said smiling.
"Well why don't we all go in and have a drink" said Melidoas poiting to the entrance of the boar hat.
"Of course" said Escnaor walking into the the entrance of the boar hat.
"Is that so, well I'm glad your both free of your curse" said Escanor after Meliodas explained his and Elizabeths past and how they were once cursed.
"Have you ever thought about the reason why your curse was broken" asked Griamore?
"We've had one idea, but why would someone want to start another holy war" said Elizabeth.
"You said Hendrickson was the reason for Dale being tuned into that monster right" asked Veronica looking at Gowhter.
"Yes, if I remember correctly the blood from the demon he got was a red demon" said Gowhter making Ban and Elaine look shocked.
"Then what I sensed was true" said Elaine.
"That red demon was the one I killed a long time ago, damnit" said Ban clenching his fist, "I should have destroyed that thing completely" he said.
"Ban, you shouldn't feel bad, you didn't know what was going of happen" said Elaine placing her hands on his shoulders.
"Why would Hendrickson do something like this" said Veronica when there was rumbling sound coming from Hawk.
"It's a sign, I think I'm getting a sign" said Hawk lifting his head up.
"That you gotta poop" said Ban looking confused.
"The seal is about to be broken" said Hawk moving close of the door of the boar hat.
"Hey are you alright" said Veronica moving close to Hawk.
"Hang on" said Hawk shaking a little, "I get why their going after the sword, but I don't see what they want with Elizabeth" he said as everyone in the boar hat then had a look that meant they were thinking on their face.
"It's simple really" said Female voice suddenly behind Veornica and Hawk, there was woman wearing a red dress, had a silver helmet with a hole for one eye and neck armour, "Shes one of the pieces to breaking the seal, if you want the princess back you'll hand her over along with the sword" she said.
"Get away from her, princess Veronica" said Grimaore jumping towards them, when the woman, Veronica and Hawk vanished in a light, he then landed on the go find where they used to be, "NOOOO" he yelled with tears in his eyes as he then got up running outside the boar hat.
"The hell" said Ban standing up.
"That was proably a Mage, they can appear and re appear in different places" said Gowhter as the rest of them went outside.
"Captain what are we going to do" said Diane when everyone was outside.
"We're heading to the capital obviously" said Griamore.
"You all start heading there me and Elizabeth are going to Edinburgh" said Meliodas as his demon symbol appeared and two dark wings came out of his back. He then flew into the air where Elizabeth followed him.
"Are you going to do what I think your going to do" said King.
"Yeah, Escanor you should get ready to fight" said Meliodas.
Escanor removed his glasses and his body then grew. His shirt ripped open as his body grew and his muscles grew aswell, "Of course captain, everything should be fine while your gone just leave it to me" he said after his body finished growing.
"Is that really Escnaor" said Elaine surprised of the way he looked now.
"It's because of his magic power, he's like this during the day, but at night, well you see what he also looked like" said Ban.
"Will be back as soon as we can" said Elizabeth as she and Meliodas started flying away towards Edinburgh.
When the two of them were flying in the sky, two people on the ground, one person in amour wearing a helmet that covered his face, he was also on a horse. Someone in cloak was flying next to him, the person in the cloak Got a quick look of Meliodas and Elizabeth in the sky which made her stop moving.
"Merlin is everything alright" said the person in the armour and stopping the horse.
"Uh yes Arthur, let's continue towards that capital" said Merlin as they continue on their journey towards the capital of Liones, "Could it really have been them and that magical power I sensed not long ago, was it really him" she thought.
Back with Melidoas and Elizabeth, "Meliodas, about Escanor does he" Elizabeth started to ask but Melidoas knew what she was going to ask.
"Love Merlin, yeah he does, your going talk to her about him aren't you" said Meliodas smiling at Elizabeth.
"Yep, is that it" said Elizabeth looking ahead of them.
"Yeah, what's left of Edinburgh castle" said Meliodas as the two of them had reached a destroyed castle that had the top of it blown up, they flew down to the ground near it. When the two of them landed on the ground Meliodas made his wings vanish and the two of them walked along a wall that was one of the parts of the castle that was still intact.
"Here this should be it" said Meliodas pushing a piece of the wall in while back purple flames surrounded his hands and piece of the wall moved aside revealing a hidden room. The two of them walked into a room where there was one source of light, under it was a bed, where a woman was currnetly lying on it asleep.
"Is that her" said Elizabeth looking at the woman.
"Yeah, I should have done something a long time ago, if I had helped him he wouldn't have had to seal her away" said Meliodas when Elizabehth placed a hand on his shoulder.
"He will understand after we brink him back" said Elizabeth smiling at him.
Meliodas nodded and placed his hand on Geldas head. After a few moments her eyes opened up, Meliodas and Elizabeth stood back as she began to sit up.
"Meliodas" said Gelda looking at him and then her eyes opened wide seeing Elizabeth, "Are you the goddess he talked about" she asked?
"Yeah, listen were gonna need your help after this, Liones is in danger and were about to head to the Capital" said Meliodas.
"Very well" said Gelda standing up.
"There's more, we're bringing back Zeldris" said Meliodas which made Gelda look surprised, "We think he will fight with us after he sees you" he said smiling.
Gelda smiled, feeling happy that she would hey to see the person she loved, "Thank you" she said smiling with tears in her eyes.
Elizabeths goddess symbol appeared in her eyes and she pointed her hands at Gelda as a light sphere surrounded her, a few moments later the ligh sphere vanished, "That should do it, your no longer a vampire but you still have your magic power" she said while Gelda nodded, "I guess that leaves one more thing" she said. Then looking at Meliodas who removed the dragon handle from his back and taking off the broken blade attached to it.
Meliodas then put the dragon handle a bit away from them and then walked back to Elizabeth. The two of them pointed their hands at the handle, "With the power of the goddesses" said Elizabeth.
"The power of the demons" said Meliodas.
"We free the demon Zeldris of the Ten Commandments" said the two of them together, Elizabeth fired her light at the handle and Melidoas sent black purple flames at it. The dragon handle shattered into pieces from the power of the two of them, sending a blast of light through the ceiling.
When the light stopped shining someone the same size as Meliodas appeared, he wore the colour red, had sword at his side, black hair and smaller version of the demon symbol over his left eye. Both of his eyes were dark.
He looked at Meliodas with an angry look on his face, "You" he said as he jumped towards Meliodas bringing his sword out and pushing him to the ground by grabbing his throat.
"Zeldris wait" said Meliodas.
"There's no need to talk, only revenge for what you've done" said Zeldris raising his sword in the air when he heard a familiar female voice speak, "Zeldris".
His eyes opened wide as he looked at Gelda who was smiling at him. He let go of Meliodas as he stood up. He put the sword back in its holder at his side and walked over to Gelda while Elizabeth helped Meliodas up.
"Gelda, how is this" said Zeldris when she suddenly hugged him bringing his head into her chest.
"I've missed you" she said closing her eyes as she smiled with tears in her eyes.
Zeldris looked surprised, but then he had look realising what was going on, he hugged Gelda back as tears started to come out of his eyes aswell.
The two of them stopped hugging and Gelda then kissed Zeldris who kissed back. Meliodas and Elizabeth smiled, feeling happy for the two of them. The two of them stopped kissing.
"Your brother sealed me away so I could be healed someday and he brought a goddesses who healed me" said Gelda making Zeldris look surprised as he looked at Elizabeth who he recognised.
"They need our help" said Gelda.
"Zeldris" said Meliodas making Zeldris and Gelda look at him, "I'm sorry I didn't help you a login time ago, I understand if your still angry, but hopefully this helps, you should be with the person you love" he said.
Zeldris walked over to Meliodas, he then reached out his hand, "Thank you" said Zeldris and Melidoas looked to see him smiling, "I didn't do what I was told, so I guess we both betrayed our people for someone we love" he said.
"Yeah" said Meliodas shaking his hand, "So you wanna help us" he said smiling.
"Of course, we are brothers aren't we" said Zeldris nodding at him and Meliodas nodded back, he then looked at Elizabeth, "Thank you for helping Gelda, I hope you can forgive me for what happenned in the past" he said.
"It's alright, it's in the past" said Elizabeth smiling.
Gelda then place hand on Zeldris shoulder, "We should proably go now" said Gelda.
"Your right" said Zeldris smiling at her.
"Alright let's go meet up with the others" said Meliodas. The four of them left the castle, two dark wings came out of Meliodas back and two dark wings came out of Zeldris back.
Meliodas took off onto the air with Elizabeth while Zeldris put an arm around Gelda and took off into the air.
"So Melidoas, who are these people were meeting up with" asked Zeldoris?
"Some of the members of the seven deadly sins" said Meliodas smiling.
In the capital of Liones, somewhere in a dungeon Veornica was waking up after being teleported, she stood up, "Where did that woman take me, are we in Liones" said Veronica.
"Welcome back to the capital of Liones" said the Mage.
"You, why did you bring me here, take me back to the others" said Veroncia looking annoyed trying to reach the Mage when she vanished, "I hope Griamore is alright" she thought when the there was the sound of roar and she looked down to see it was hawk shaking.
"Hawk you're here too" said Veronica.
"What's going I have had it with this crap let's go, let go" said Hawk running at the metal door, Veronica looked away and after she heard the sound of metal falling to ground. She looked to see the door was kicked down, she then heard Hawk scream while there was the sound of a fart.
"Uh" said Hawk from outside and he reappeared at the entrance of the cell with blood coming out of his head, "Okay mission accomplished" he said.
"Uh your kind of bleeding there" said Veroncia walking to the entrance of the cell when a door away from them opened up revealing a guard who looked like he woke up from a nap.
"Huh what's going on" he said.
"Oh no we must have woken up, we better take care of him before he alerts the other" said Veronia reaching for the sword on her back.
Hawk then jumped into while spinning, "Super spin attack" said Hawk hitting the knight. The guard fell back against the wall knocked out.
"Okay let's find a way out of here" said Hawk looking at Veronica.
"Yeah let's go" said Veroncia surprised that Hawk was able to knock the guard out.
The two of them reached an area where there was a path to the left and a path to the right. They started walking down the path to the right.
As they went further down the path it started to get more dark since there weren't any more torches ahead of them.
"So where do you think we are anyway" asked Hawk?
"We're in one of the dungeons, but I don't know where we're suppose to go to get out of here" said Veronica.
"Veroncia is that you" said Female voice form one of the cells ahead of them.
"Wait that voice, Margaret" said Veronica walking over to the cell where she hard the voice from, she looked through the hatch of the entrance to see a woman with long hair and wearing a black dress, "Margaret is that you".
"Veronica, where have you been, both me and Father have been very worried about you" said Margaret.
"I've been travelling with some of the seven deadly sins, you need to know that they weren't the one who killed the holy Knights grandmaster and Elizabeth, there's something about her you need to know" said Veronica.
"Well isn't this such a touching reunion" said the Mage appearing behind Veroncia.
"You, release my sister at once" said Veronica.
"I think there's been a misunderstanding, your sister entered that cell of her own free will" said the Mage, "It seems you were able to escape your cell, so I have to move you somewhere else" she said reaching for Veroncia when someone pushed her back and made her fall down, "What was that" she said looking up to see Hawk.
"By completely masking my presence I was able to attack you without you even knowing it, anyway you've been ignoring me this whole time lady" said Hawk hitting one of his foot on the ground.
"Thanks Hawk" said Veronica smiling.
"A talking pig, a pig" said the Mage annoyed and Hawk vanished in light, the light also blasted Veroncia back at the entrance of the the cell knocking her out.
Hawk then appeared somewhere in the capital between two houses, "Hmm where am I" he said looking around.
Back in the dungeon, "Veronica" said Margaret concerned as she looked out the hatch of her cell.
"It seemed the blast knocked her out" said the Mage picking up Veronica, she then lifted her hand at the entrance of Margaret's cell and it opened, "As your sister requested I have opened your cell, so you may go wherever you want, that is if your okay with abandoning him" said the Mage while Margaret had a sad look on her face.
Back at the boar hat, Diane was walking next to Hawks mom, the others were standing in front of the boar hat. Escanor was now holding a big axe that was actually his sacred treasure. King was flying next to Diane, "I'll have spirit spears true power if I'm going to be stronger" he thought when suddenly he felt a pain in his back.
"Hey are you alright King" asked Diane concerned seeing King had a pained look on his face.
"Yeah, I'm fine don't worry" said King, "What was that" he thought when he looked into the sky noticing 4 people, one person he didn't recognised was carrying someone, "Their back" he said making everyone look into the Sky.
Meliodas, Elizabeth landed on Hawks mom first where Meliodas made his wings vanish and his demon symbol vanish. Zeldris landed on Hawks mom next with Gelda and made his wings vanish.
"So your Zledris" said King looking sirious.
"Iam" said Zeldris with a sirious look on his face.
"So you must be Gelda right" said Diane looking at the woman who was standing next to Zeldris.
"Yes" said Gelda.
"I hope there isn't any hard feelings about what happenned to the castle so long ago" said Escanor smiling.
"Of course not, I didn't wish to fight, in fact I wanted to die, but I'm happy that Meliodas showed me another way" said Gelda smiling as she looked at Zeldris.
"Hey while we're talking about that battle, did any of your people have the power to make people weak" said King.
"No I don't think so" said Gelda.
Ban suddenly looked away looking nervous, "So there's no problem between us" asked Ban trying to change the subject.
"No, like my brother I'm a traitor to demon clan since I didn't do what I was ordered to do" said Zeldris.
"We're getting close to the capital" said Griamore looking ahead of them with a determined look on his face.
The rest of them looked forward to see one of the entrance to the capital of Liones, there were already holy Knights standing in front of the entrance.
"How will we take care of this" said Zeldris.
"Our main objective is to rescue princess Veroncia and reveal the truth about what happened to holy knight Dale" said Meliodas looking at the Knights.
"Understood" said Gowther.
Zeldris looked at Gowhter surprised to see a former member of the Ten Commandments, "Gowhter is that you" he said surprised.
"Yes, it's been a long time hasn't it Zeldris" said Gowther.
"Here I will use my commandment to get us past them" said Zeldris putting his right hand up and pointed It at the Knights in front of them.
"There's a better way of doing this" said Gowther jumping down from Hawks mom.
"I guess we better follow him" said Melidoas jumping down with Griamore, Escanor and Zeldris.
"You better stay here" said Ban looking at Elaine.
Elaine gave him a quick kiss on the lips, "Be safe" she said as Ban jumped down from Hawks him.
The holy Knights started heading towards them, Gowther stood in front of the others as Hakws mom stopped moving, he then put his two hands up and two light pink bows appeared in his hand, "Sacred treasure, double bow" he said.
"Siriously" said Meliodas.
"Where is he hiding a sacred treasure" said Ban.
"Now broadcast" said Gowther as multiple light arrow fired out of the bows and each arrow went through one knight making them stop moving.
"Uh Gowther you know those arrows had no effect right buddy" said Ban looking confused.
"I sent into their minds the truth about what happened a long time ago, they also now know what happenned to Dale" said Gowther.
"The seven deadly sins are innocent" said one knight.
"That is what happenened to Dale, will that happen to the other members of the new generation" said another knight.
"New generation" said Meliodas.
"They were apprentice holy Knights who suddenly got stronger in just a few days time" said King.
"But they really got that power from drinking the demons blood" said Gowther.
"Not many people can take that power, if others tried they would die a few seconds after drinking it" said Zeldris.
"Everyone you must listen" said Elizabeth, the holy Knights and the other looked up to see Elizabeth flying in front of Hawks mom, "I know I may not look like her anymore, but I was once princess Elziabeth, you've been lied to about the seven deadly sins and princess Veronica has been kidnapped" she said.
"Pirncess Veronica was kidnapped" said a knight.
"Just how much have the grandmaster lied about to us" said another knight.
"I ask of you please fight with us so we can protect Liones" said Elizaneth as her goddess symbol appeared in her eyes.
"I will fight" said one knight raising his sword in the air.
"So will I" said another knight.
"Yeah" said the rest of the Knights.
Hawks mom dug into the ground with the only the boar hat above the ground. The Knights who now knew the truth stood behind the ones now leading them. Meliodas who now held the sword Elizabeth gave him to kill the big giant, Elizabeth, Zeldris, Gelda, Ban, Elaine, King, Diane, Gowther and Griamore.
"Hey what's that strange power" said Ban before they started heading to the two big doors, that would take them into the capital.
"You sense it right" said Zeldris looking at Meliodas.
"Yeah I do" said Meliodas.
"That magic power, is it yours Merlin" thought Escanor sensing the magic power that was on the other side of the capital.
"All right everyone, time to get started" said Meliodas as his demon symbol appeared on his forehead. He and Zeldris then both sent a ball of black purple flames at the doors making them fall down.
"Hang on Veroncia, we're going to rescue you" thought Elizabeth as she and the others started heading into the the capital of Liones, ready for battle.
