Chapter 8: Dark Pulse
Guila was staring at the strange figure with a familiar hourglass symbol on his chest. The figure in question is a silicon-based life form made of super-hard, green/blue diamond-like material, the body is composed of durable pale green crystals. He sports four crystal shards on his back, two upper parts are larger and has a sharp head. He has a large jaw, green eyes, two arms and legs. He wears black shoes with green on the bottom, clothing that is all black with one large green stripe down the middle up to his belt, and wears black pants. He has a green belt with white stripes on which he wears the Omnitrix symbol. His right arm is a large thin blade and the left has four fingers.
"Hmm, interesting in curiosity what do you call this particular form." Guila is curious about the form.
"I call this form Diamondhead and he will be guy that will be your match." Diamondhead praised with confidence.
Guila laughed a little in amusement. "My match? You think your feeble diamond body can survive my explosion." Without Ben knowing, Guila's hand slowly reaches for her blade.
"Aww, and I thought diamonds are girls' best friends." Diamondhead grinned. Guila fingers touched the rapier. A smirk appeared on her face.
"Seriously you could have stopped stabbing me in the back." Ban complained, while giving the fairy king an ugly look. King was not faced. "At least thank me for saving your life." King bluntly said to the fox sin. Ban was about to argue, but suddenly a green blur went past them and crashed into one of the crystal pillars. Smoke and dust covered the stalagmite. The four sins looked behind them and noticed a crystal-like being, whose body is stuck at a crater wall but they also noticed his arms shattered into small fragments indicating he might have used them to shield himself.
"Ow, I-I'm gonna...feel that in the m-morning." Diamondhead groaned in pain. "Ben? Is that you?" Diane asked the hero in concern. The Petrosapien releases himself from the crystal wall and drops to the ground as he safely lands on his feet.
"Yeah, I'm fine." The hero reassured the giant. "Oh my, your body did manage to handle my explosion." Guila slowly approached the sins, while she sounded impressed by Diamondhead's defense.
Ben's eyes narrowed towards the female knight, while the shatters on his arms were regenerating. "That was a trick shot, lady." Diamondhead mocked the Holy knight.
Guila laughed in amusement. "Don't say it like that Ben Tennyson, even if you defense is strong against my explosions, you lack skill and speed." The knight mocked. She was clearly mocking and underestimating the Petrosapien, due to his size and body structure. Guila eyes...well closed eyes then turned to King.
"King, I didn't fathom for you to betray the holy knights." Guila sounded disappointed, but didn't seem surprised at King's betrayal like she predicted it was pound to happen.
King just shrugged. "We had a mutual agreement.
"What can I say, I'm not much of a chivalrous type of guy?" Ben joked. Diamondhead then turned to King. "Hey, mind if we work together to beat this crazy lady." The hero offered the fairy. King bluntly stared at Ben. "I don't usually coexist with other people, besides the other sins but you can handle the 'crazy lady' by yourself." King moved his hand in a shooing motion or rather I don't care due to the expression he was giving.
"Sheesh, cold much." Diamondhead shrugged as both his arms turned into long blades. "Guess, it's just you and me. Princess." Ben grinned. Guila sighs in disappointment and boredom. "I guess there is no other way." The Holy knight raised her rapier towards the hero and made 6 small flaming orbs.
"I'll take my time in destroying you." Guila sent the orbs to the Petrosapien direction. Diamondhead jabbed his right hand on the ground, suddenly a wall made of crystal burst from the ground.
As the orbs made contact with the walls a giant explosion of smoke and flames followed. Sounds of crystals shatter and fragments of pieces flying everywhere.
"Ben!" Diane shouted in worry for her friend as she raised her body from the ground. Meliodas and Ban sat down on the ground, watching the battle transpire. King standing on his spear, which was still pierce through Ban's body.
"Umm, well that was easy and disappointing." Guila said, letting her blade down and turning around. But what I didn't expect was multiple crystal shards bursting through the smoke. Guila heard the upcoming attacks behind, she quickly spun around and used her explosive magic to destroy the shards.
"So, you're still ali...GAAAHHHHH!" Guila didn't expect a sharp crystal stalagmite to appear out of nowhere and stab her leg. The other sin also didn't expect a crystal trap to appear out of nowhere. "Heh, I apologize for that my lady." Guila heard Diamondhead's voice and stared at the direction of the smoke. As the smoke started clear, Diamondhead standing in his full glory stood on top of broken shards and fragments that used to be his wall. "You might have an explosive personality, but you are at a clear disadvantage here." Ben said with pride.
"What is he talking about?" Ban rubbed his head in confusion, not understanding what the hero was saying. "Oh, now I get it!" Meliodas said in understanding.
Diamondhead raised his hands up in the air. Then the crystal pillars and stalagmites started to shake and slowly raised in the air. Guila and the sins mouths opened in shock. The sky started to fill with flying large crystals and turn towards the holy knight direction. "Incredible." Guila said in amazement, then she grins with interest. 'I she why Gilthunder is interested in your powers, Ben Tennyson.' Guila thought.
"Now I'm going to give you a chance. Surrender now and your butt won't be kicked." Diamondhead warned, hoping that the female knight would surrender.
"Hmm, you want to kick my butt?" Guila turned her innocently. "Are you trying to flirt with me?" The knight questioned.
Diamondhead was taken back by surprise and blushed, even though he can't blush due to his diamond body. Meliodas and Ban whistled in amazement and smug. "I didn't know you into that kind of stuff Ben." Meliodas teased.
"It's not like that!" Ben argues in embarrassment as he turns to blonde sin, which was a bad idea in the hero part. Guila saw an opportunity and charged towards the Petrosapien at a blinding speed.
As Ben instincts kicked Diamondhead noticed Guila's quick approach and quickly turned his left arm into a shield to block Guila rapier. Nearly pushed back by the Holy knight's sudden strength, but the hero manages to push Guila with his own. Both Holy knight and the alien hero stared at each other with persistence.
"Did you forget something?" Guila smiled, followed by a small explosion that sent Ben flying. Diamondhead grunted as he skidded along the ground, but then turned both of his arms into blades again and dug them into the ground, tearing a pair of trenches in the ground before friction brought him to a stop. Diamondhead looked at his opponent and used his crystallokinesis.
The crystal then started to rain onto and towards the Holy knight. Guila noticed this and raised her blade high up in the sky. "Brilliant Detonation!" A giant flaming orb twice the size than Guila appeared above her blade. "That doesn't seem good." Meliodas sounded worried and hesitant.
The giant orb then exploded and split into smaller orb and went towards the crystals. Explosions after explosion of both flames and crystal fragments. But it didn't end their multiple crystal stalagmite burst out from the ground and try to stab the knight, but with her flexible body and militia skills she evaded the attacks.
Ben rushed towards Guila as his arms formed into spikes and started shooting the female knight with shards. "Very persistent, are we?" Guila smirks, while she summons her magic of explosive orbs and shoots towards the shards.
Both attacks were intercepted and destroyed, followed by a small explosion. Few orbs pass through explosions and shards towards the Petrosapian.
Diamondhead used his powers to summon crystal pillars under him and launch him in the air, avoiding the orbs. The pillar took the sacrifice. Up in the air Ben now transformed both of his arms into hammers. As he starts to descend from the sky, Diamondhead slams both of his hammers onto Guila but she blocks Petrosapien with her rapier. The knight stumbled back a little due to Diamondhead weight and superior strength.
Suddenly she flipped backwards and high kick on Diamondhead chin. The hero grunt as he flipped in the air and crashed on his stomach. Ben groaned in pain and rubbed his chin, while slowly lifting himself up.
Guila blade appeared in front of the hero's face. "This is the end, Tennyson." Guila smiled in victory and thought she had an upper hand. Diamondhead smug. "Look again." Guila was confused at first until she sensed something was off. The knight looked around her surroundings and noticed thousands upon thousands of broken shards surrounding both hero and knight, sharp edges pointing in their direction.
"Oh my...so your close range and distant attacks were just a distraction." Guila smiled with amusement. "Nice work Ben Tennyson, but it won't be enough to defeat me." The knight said with pride. "Your shards won't be fast enough to touch me, before I cut your head off." Diamondhead smug grew wider. "Why would I use my shards, if I can use your element against you."
Guila is taken back by confusion and shock, revealing what the hero's true strategy was. The crystal shards started to glow bright. 'What they can explode, when can crystal expl-'
BBBOOOMMM!
"Ben!" Diane, Meliodas and Ban shout in worry, shock and fear for their friend as a giant explosion followed by many more explosions took place at Ben and Guila's fate. King was only one silent.
Now the area is covered in smoke and dust clouds. "B-Ben...is...h-he." Diane's face appeared with full shock at her friend's devastation.
"Man, I never thought that the kid was suicidal." Ban sighed in grief, when he actually started to like the hero, but he also wanted payback for that prank Ben pulled earlier.
"So long Ben Tennyson..." Meliodas bowed his head in respect and grief for his friend.
"Well, I call dibs on his watch!" Suddenly Meliodas' mood changed into joy and excitement. Diane, King and Ban were shocked and stupefied at the blonde's response.
"Captain!" Diane was about to argue at her crush, not until the giant and the other sins heard coughing coming from the smoke. As the smoke started to disperse, Diamondhead appeared out of the black cloud walking towards the sins. His body had cracks and pieces started falling off, but luckily Ben wasn't concerned as Diamondhead's body started to regenerate.
"Cough...cough. Seriously dude you were about to take my watch, after you thought I was dead." Ben sounded disappointed at the leader of the sins, while he smeared ashes off his body.
Suddenly he felt two large bare hands grab his body and he felt something soft on his hard diamond skin. "Ben you're alive! I thought you were dead!" Diane hugged Ben in joy and relief, but she hugged the hero on her breasts. "D-Diame...cnt breehhfff." Diamondhead's face smothered in the giant's breast cancelling his access to breath air...if he can actually breathe in this form, since he is made out of diamonds and doesn't have a nose.
"Uh? Oh, sorry Ben?" The sin of envy realized what she was doing and pulled Ben from her chest, before gently putting the hero down on the ground. The giant felt embarrassed from her sudden reaction.
"Man, you have a way with ladies Ben." Meliodas teased, while Ban whistled and smirked at the hero. "Shut up, can't believe you said that." Diamondhead crossed his arms angry at the sin of wrath.
"Ben, how did you survive that explosion?" Diane was curious how the hero survived his own trap.
Diamondhead was about to explain, but was interrupted as he and the sins heard footsteps in the smoke.
"You really are special, Ben Tennyson."
The hero and sins were taken by surprise as Guila arrived out of the smoke screen, but her armor and clothes were a bit destroyed while also covered with burned marks.
"Man, you don't know when to stay down." Diamondhead growled in annoyance as he transformed his arms into blades again. He was about to charge towards the knight, but suddenly Ben and everyone else heard a beeping sound coming from the hourglass symbol on his chest. Then the hero was surrounded in green light and turned back to normal.
"Really! Now Omnitrix of all times!" Ben argued at his watch. Guila started giggling in amusement. "So, you have a time limit in your transformation, this will be easy for me to defeat you." Guila summoned a line of small orbs from her blades. "Short Bombs!"
The orbs heading straight towards the hero and the sins. King decided he had enough and raised his hands. The spear in Ban's chest burst out from his body and started spinning while heading towards the orbs.
The spear intercepted and passed the orbs which explosions followed. The spear kept spinning as it dispersed the flames and smoke of the explosions.
"Amazing...the spirit spear Chastiefol. Forged by the holy tree located in the fairy realm." Guila admired King's magical weapon as it slowly spun giving its full glory. "More durable than steel, possessing the awesome power of the holy tree itself."
"Your magical abilities can summon all those properties. Disaster." As Guila kept informing of King magic, the spear spun faster and stopped next to the fairy sin. Ben was amazed and admired from the information, before he felt again a giant pair of hands grab his body, then drop on Diane's leg. "Um, Diane? What are you doing?" Ben questioned the giant.
"I think it's safe for you to just bugle up here, this might become intense." Diane warned, but showed a gentle and reassuring smile to the hero. Ben took her advice and stayed quiet, while witnessing the fight that was about to begin.
"This will make things a bit more interesting." Guila positioned herself in a sword stance. King slowly floats towards the knight, while giving a blunt glare.
"Whenever yo-" Suddenly King spear passed through the right side of the knight at a blinding speed. A strand of her hair was cut and flew off, a cut appeared and blood on her right cheek. "Now that's no good, try to dodge a little." King bluntly said, unimpressed of her lack of evasion. 'Did I misread him!' Guila processes through her thoughts taken back by Chastiefol speed.
Guila quickly turned ahead to see King spear coming around towards her again. The female knight barely dodges the fairy weapon as she was pushed by the shockwave and force when blade contact the ground. 'His speed, his power. It's nothing like the other sins.' Guila started to slowly panic and worry from the inside.
"Oh man! That thing is fast." Ben's face was filled with shock and amazement witnessing the power of the fourth sin. 'But wait!? He put her off the edge, while me and the sins could barely scratch her. Why is that?' The hero realized that the sloth sin was much stronger than other sins combined.
During the battle sparks and sound metal clanged together. Guila could barely handle Chastiefol speed, the female knight forced to dodge and black the magical weapon. Guila decided to put distance between her and the spear, so dashed away from the sin. King commanded his spear to spin and head straight towards the holy knight.
Guila looked behind again and avoided the blade of the fairy weapon. The weapon instead destroyed a crystal, but it didn't end there. Chastiefol continued to pursue the female knight, while she kept on blocking and avoiding the spear when she stopped.
Guila then starts to jump and climb each of the crystal stalagmite pillars as she is still blocking and dodging. She leaped into the air until she reached on top of a crystal tower, the biggest of all the crystals around.
Chastiefol speed towards Guila from behind, but she immediately turns around and uses explosive magic to reflect the spear away. The magic weapon hit the ground.
King looked up at his opponent as he saw Guila raise her rapier and summoned her magic. "Brilliant Detonation!" The giant ball of flames appeared again.
Ben and the sins flinched from the sound of the attack again, since they knew how powerful it was and felt like they wanted to keep their distance. King on the other hand wasn't faced by the power of magic.
The giant splashes again into multiple orbs of explosion and dash towards the sin. The spear vertically spins. "Chastiefol 5th consideration. Increase." King called, as his spear separated into multiple spear heads like daggers. With a flick of his fingers the daggers dash towards orbs and are intercepted. A line of explosions, flames and smoke followed.
Everyone was taken back in amazement by King power. Guila was one of those people that was amazed, when she suddenly heard something behind her.
She didn't need to look behind knowing she already lost as the daggers already appeared pointing the blade at her.
King grasped his fist, then a rain of daggers fell upon the defenseless knight and demolished the tower. The whole tower falls and breaks apart into an explosion of dust and fragments, only what's left is rubble and dust. Ben's eyes and mouth widened in shock, while the other sins smiled at their old friend.
"Hey! You were making ruckus!" Ben heard a Hawk voice as he turned and noticed the pig running towards the hero and the sins with the princess on his back. "No one got hurt, okay?" Elizabeth asked the group with concern.
"We're okay." Meliodas reassured the princess with a simple wave. King stared at the rubble and the destruction he caused, before he turned his head and looked at the sins, princess, pig and hero were happy to see each other again and felt relieved that the threat was gone.
Without them knowing Guila pushed the rubble of her and she was right behind King. "At a range as close as this." King was too shocked to defend himself as Guila dashed towards him with her blade ready to stab him. "Even the power of the spirit spear can't save you now." She activated her magic and thrust her rapier towards the sins.
Suddenly in a blink of an eye, Meliodas appeared between them and reflected on Guila rapier with his broken blade. Meliodas smirked. "Right back at ya."
"Damn! Full Counter!" Guila realized her mistake as she was involved and consumed by her own but stronger explosion that incinerated her body.
Ben is still sitting on Diane's lap, now accompanied by Elizabeth and Hawk.
"Sir Meliodas?" Elizabeth was amazed by the sin of wrath speed and power, but she also felt worried at the possible danger he was in.
"I don't sense Guila anymore." Diane stated, which actually worried Ben. The hero wasn't very fond of killing someone, because he always finds a way to beat his villains. He kind of felt sorry the female knight even though she did try to kill him and the sins. Suddenly the hero became shocked when he noticed a young girl appeared from multiple ball of lights. "That blast must have sent her to the living world. She appeared as a ghost, but you arrived in flesh and blood." The spirit of Elaine explained of Guila demise. Ben sigh relief that she didn't die...we'll she was dead and she is...alive. The hero rubbed his head in confusion.
"AAHHH! My ears! I'm disappearing!" Hawk panicked as his ears started to glow and disperse into the sparkle of lights.
"Hawk!" Ben and Elizabeth call out in worry, before they notice their arms were having the same fate as Hawks ears. "Hey, what's going on?" Ben questioned, slightly worried. "Tell me does it feel better when I do this?" Meliodas for some stupid reason grab and fold Elizabeth breasts. Ben was immediately on the blonde side and restrained the sin by the arms. "Pervert!"
Diane didn't appreciate Ben hurting her crush, but she is grateful that the hero is looking after Elizabeth and teaching Meliodas a lesson. The giant and the other sins were also starting to glow and slowly disappearing, confused on what's happening.
"The Negrobalish senses that you don't belong here and now it's pushing everyone out." A familiar voice spoke. Ban and King looked to their side and spotted Luigi and Alane, who the two children were glowing.
"That was great. You saw who you hoped too." Luigi congratulates the fox and grizzly sin for finding Elaine. "Eh, what are you two doing here?" Ben noticed the two children, confused on how and why they are here. Then a realization kicked in at the back of Ben's head. "What are you tw-"
Alane knew what the hero was about to bring up, so she responded with a nod. The two siblings then pay attention to Ban. "The cooking that you did for us was really yummy. Thank you" Alane thanked Ban.
"Sure." The fox sin smiled at the siblings. His eyes then looked at Elaine's. "Glad I got to see you Ban." Elaine smiled.
"Later Elaine." Even though they would part again, Ban was really grateful and happy to see the person he loved again. King looked away from his sister, having his own thoughts on what to do now, but he heard his sister speaking to him. "Thank you, brother, for protecting him."
At that moment, King wanted to speak to his sister one last time but when he turned around, everything turned bright and he was back in the living world.
"It looks like we're back in our own world again." Meliodas looked around the familiar environment.
"Man, that was strange and I thought the Null void and Ledgerdomain was weird." Ben rubbed his head in confusion, remembering other strange worlds or dimensions he visited. "Did you say something Ben." Meliodas overheard Ben and was curious about what he was talking about. "Nothing." Ben panicked a little, trying not to give himself away. The blonde eyes closed a little, staring at the hero, and started to have suspicions of the hero.
Lucky for Ben the topic was changed, when Elizabeth gasped and pointed at something or someone. It was Guila who was standing motionlessly, while her right hand stabbed her heart. "I see. She reached into Negrobalish by putting herself near death." Meliodas explained.
Ben, Hawk and Elizabeth are terrified of the explanation. "We should get out of here before she wakes up." The hero advised. "I say we kill her, while killing good." Ban grin. "Absolutely not!" Ben objects against the fox's sin intention.
"Why not?" Ban questioned Ben. "She has already been beaten, it's not necessary to kill her." Ben suggested. King raised his brow curious of the Omnitrix wielder.
"Can we talk about this later. We should get going." Diane advised and started walking away. The other started following. Ben was the last to follow, but he stopped when he noticed Meliodas staring at Ghila.
"Meliodas, aren't you coming?" The hero asked the leader. A devious smile appeared on Meliodas' face. "Hey Ben, Mind helping me with something." Meliodas asked, before he started laughing.
Ben turns his head in confusion.
...
"Awaken, Awaken now my apprentice." Ghila heard a male voice speak, which started to slowly open her eyes... even though they are closed.
"Sir Helbram." Ghila spoke her superior name, confused about what happened. She also noticed that tied against a tree by...spider webs.
"I see you have failed Ghila, you are not ready to face the seven deadly sins." The figure in front of Ghila was knight in a set of copper-colored full body armor, adorning it with a purple high-collar, cloak on top and a unique helmet that has hammerhead horns with a sky-blue crest on it. "Uh? What's that on your face?" Helbram spoke with superiority, but that changed into confusion when he noticed Ghila's face. Ghila couldn't explain to her superior since she is also confused.
A goofy looking drawing with open eyes and tongue hanging out her mouth. "Never mind, heh...it's not half bad actually." Helbram sounded impressed and amused by the drawing. "What?" Ghila became more confused, but it was ruined when Helbram started sniffing something.
"Gah!" Helbram covered his nose or in this case his helmet. "What's that awful smell? Ghila did you even take a bath?" He questioned the female knight.
"Eh!?" Ghila became more confused than ever, until she noticed the stench. 'What it can't be. I didn't smell that bad earlier.' She thought to herself as she felt embarrassed and humiliated by her superior. Then she felt something telling her at the back of her head. 'Why do I feel like Tennyson is involved?' The female knight gritted teeth in anger.
The group rested near a lake, after travelling far away from the town. They decided to camp and rest for the day, before they move to their destination. They surrounded the fire, drinking beer and eating food, while the giant pig stood behind them minding her own business.
"Here, captain, I brawl this just for you." Diane offered a giant smoke fish in a stick to her crush. "That's a little big." Meliodas didn't take the offer and drank his beer, while the giant persisted for the captain to eat her fish as she nudged the fish on his head.
King floated towards Diane. "Diane, are your injuries really healed now." King asked concern to the giant.
Diane is taken back by surprise and tries to cover her blush with the fish. "Sure, I feel fine."
"Dumbass. She only pretended to be hurt so that she could suck face with the captain." Ban mocked; drunk from a lot of beer he drank.
"Diane, not that kind of girl okay!" King protested. The envy sin averted her eyes and try to play innocent. "Hey, Diane." The giant attention was on Ben. "Mind if I try some, I'm kind of hungry." Ben asked politely and on que his stomach started growling for food. Diane blushed again and giggled. "Sure, here you go." Diane offered a piece of the fish.
"Thank you." The hero was grateful at the giant hospitality and took a bite. Though Ben is only interested in fast foods and drinks like burgers, pizza, fried chips and his favorite smoothies, he also likes to try something different except food that his grandpa cooked. He swallowed and savored the fish. "Hmm, this is actually good Diane." Ben complimented the giant. She blushed again, feeling appreciated that someone liked her cooking. "Thank you."
King glares at the Omnitrix wielder like he was some kind of threat, but he pushes that aside for now and turns to Meliodas. "Captain, I want to ask what your relationship is with this girl." King curiously asked and referred to Elizabeth.
"The lovers kind." Meliodas smirks, while he gropes Elizabeth breast. "No, it's not!" Elizabeth disagreed. "No grope, get grope kind." He then forced Elizabeth to touch his bare chest. "S-Sir Meliodas!" The princess blushed in embarrassment.
"Stop that!" In green flash of light appeared, before a web restrained and tied Meliodas into a cocoon, leaving head. Spidermonkey pissed at the captain's action again, wanting so badly to punish and beat that pervert into submission. The arachnichimp calmed down and sat on the cocoon Meliodas. "Sorry about that...and don't mind him." Spidermonkey reverted back to normal and gave his attention to the King.
"And as for your question, Elizabeth is actually a princess of the realm." The hero stated. Meliodas nodded. "The third one, I believe." The blonde calmly asked the princess. Elizabeth nodded.
"A princess! You should have told me, if I've known I should have been more presentable." King gritted his teeth and groaned. Ben raised his brow on the grizzly sin behavior.
"Gah!" Out of nowhere King transformed into a chubby person like in the wanted poster, but wearing fancier clothes. Both of the group were flabbergasted in shock, mostly Ben and Ban. Ban spat his beer and Ben's eyes widened. "Wow, you change your clothes." Meliodas was amazed by King's clothing fashion, but did not even comment on his actual appearance. "Look closer!" Both Hero and fox sin shouted at the captain.
"You know it takes a great deal of mental effort to change into this form." King felt offended by Ben and Ban's reaction, but he also sounded different.
"What a pig." Hawk mock King form, while eating his food. Ban stared at the pig.
"Hello, I am King, the grizzly sin of the seven deadly sins. Glad to make your occasions." King bowed to the princess. "The pleasure is mine. I'm sure." Elizabeth politely greeted, but she felt uncomfortable of King 's appearance.
"I didn't know that you were a princess. Please forgive my bad manners in the Negrabolish." King apologized to the princess as he started moving closer. "Think nothing of it. Also don't let yourself be stressed out, feel free to relax and just be comfortable." The princess reassured the sin.
"If you insist...your majesty." In a puff of smoke King went back to normal, but he was exhausted and fell, just as his pillow caught him. "Err, that took a lot out of me." He said in exhaustion.
"Whow, his clothes have changed back." Meliodas comments on King clothes again. "Look closer, Dammit!" Ben and Ban shouted again.
"I must say you're really one powerful individual, truly on your own you took down an opponent that Sir Meliodas and the others had trouble with together." Elizabeth admired and praised King powers, while the sin floated around on his pillow.
"Yeah. I guess I'm pretty powerful, but any of you could have taken care of that Holy knight if you used your full strength." King referred to the sins, which kind of surprised the hero. "Wait, you guys were holding back?" The Omnitrix wielder questioned and glared at the sins, since that would have helped to defeat Ghila with less effort.
"Oh, don't give me that look. You were holding back too." Diane said to the hero, knowing how Ben functions and how secretively he can be with his powers. The hero responded in silence and averted his head to look into a different direction, while nervously sweating. "See." Diane claimed her statement.
King sighs, but suddenly his face becomes serious. "Now fest up where are your sacred treasures." King questioned the sin.
"I lost mine." Diane said first, while covering her face in embarrassment and giving a goofy expression.
"Sold mine." Meliodas smirks, while giving an okay sign which somehow one of his hands broke free from the webs.
"Mine got stolen." Ban smiled, not even ashamed that his treasure got stolen.
King transformed again as he gave the sins a disappointing and disgusting look. "Shame on you." He snorted.
In a different location, the kingdom of Liones, a meeting was held. On the property of Elizabeth's old home or rather castle was filled with various holy knights of different sizes, armor and color paint.
"Though a king has overseen the coming of a holy war. He had ordered us to lay down our arms in hope of avoiding the conflict, but he was gravely mistaken. we are a blade defending the kingdom of Liones." A Holy knight announced in his speech. The knight attire consists of a set of red colored armor that has a spike on each shoulder. He has long burgundy hair that reaches up to his shoulder, with a short beard. "Holy knights' duty to man is to hold our skills and this I swear. We our grandmasters shall lead the holy knights to victory and together we shall Liones."
The Holy knights in the area cheer in pride and glory of their grandmaster speech and the future.
"Little over the top, huh? Dreyfus?" A knight bluntly spoke up next to the red armored knight known as Dreyfus. The knight wears a set of full-body armor which is covered by a robe. He has short white light-colored hair and a goatee.
"Always so critical, Hendrickson." Dreyfus mocked the knight known as Hendrickson.
"Grandmaster." A random knight approaches his superior and gets Dreyfus and Hendrickson's attention. "Sir Gilthunder and sir Howzer have just returned from putting down the savages from the north." The knight reported.
"Good send them to my chambers." Dreyfus announced and instructed the knight.
...
Later in a different part of the castle where Dreyfus' chamber is located. The knight already reported to Gilthunder and Howzer for their meeting with their grandmaster. Both holy knights already arrived in their grandmaster chambers.
"Well done Howzer and Gilthunder." Dreyfus congrats the two knights. "So, grandmaster Dreyfus, when will the great holy war happen, sir? Because running all these errands is kind of making me soft." A knight known as Howzer was asking his superior in curiosity. Howzer is wearing standard Holy knight armor. He has dark blond hair, usually styled into a messy quaff, light skin and violet eyes.
"Yes, when in deed?" Dreyfus smiled at Howzer's antics, but even he questioned himself about the upcoming Holy war. "You don't, not even who we are fighting against?" Howzer questioned again, but his voice raised a little.
"You need to mind your tone, Howzer." Gilthunder suggested to his ally, but at the tone of his voice it sounded like a threat with a growl.
"It's alright." Dreyfus reassured. "Now what of the seven deadly sins?" The grandmaster asked.
"Sir, King has forsaken against the realm and the sins are gathered far stronger." Gilthunder reported. "I see." Dreyfus put his hand on chin in thought. "And what of the shapeshifter?" The grandmaster of knights was then curious of Ben. "He started to show new forms and appeared stronger than the last time I encountered him." Gilthunder reported, still remembering the first time he met the hero and started to become curious of the hero's power, even interested in the weird object he found in the church, which is now in a small pouch on his side. The design and shape of the object gives familiarity to the shapeshifting hero crest, but Gilthunder felt negative intention from the object itself.
"Hold on for just a minute. Are you saying the next Holy war will be waged against the seven deadly sins and...some shapeshifter." Howzer was surprised by this information and seems like he didn't believe Gilthunder stories, but after hearing rumors and stories of other Holy knights encountering the seven deadly sins that allied with a shapeshifter. It was no longer farfetched.
"That future remains clouded for...there is one thing that concerns me about." Dreyfus' face became serious. "The sins who have gathered, empathically Meliodas the dragon sin, are great threats to the realm and must be eliminated."
"Yes, grandmaster Dreyfus." Howzer easily agreed with his superior.
"I assume you knew the kingdom of Danefall. A kingdom that rivals Liones itself in military and power itself." Dreyfus asked the two Holy knights if they knew the story of the fallen kingdom.
"Well, wasn't it destroyed by some disaster?" The blonde knight answered.
"It was completely erased by the hands of Meliodas, who fell victim to his own wrath." Dreyfus announced the true story of Danefall downfall. "You can't be serious, assuming if the story is true the holy knights outnumber the sins thousands of times over, plus we have the new generations now so they don't stand a chance." Howzer said in pride of the Holy knight title.
"Howzer, I think your being optimistic." Gilthunder bluntly said. "And you being too pessimistic." Hozwer padded Gilthunder's shoulder. "I got a braille engagement, if you excuse me." He started before he left the room.
"A new generation? Huh?" Dreyfus said in interest and curiosity. Gilthunder walks over towards Dreyfus and moves close to his superior. "There are reports of Hendrickson fractions snaring Holy knights and working for him." Gilthunder whispered to his superior.
"I see." The grandmaster adjusted to the new information and decided to have a closer look at Hendrickson. "Sir, about the shapeshifter, do you still want to capture him?" Gilthunder asked. "Yes, his powers might be the key to help us defeat the seven deadly sins and...it might help tell us something about that thing you carry around all day." Dreyfus pointed at Gilthunder pouch, which started to blink and glow red in the pouch. Gilthunder looked at the pouch and in the back of his head, he felt drawn towards the object like calling for someone or something but the knight shook the thought away. "You might be right, grandmaster Dreyfus."
"The new generation, what's that?" Meliodas asked, who was finally out of the webbed cocoon. Ben became curious.
"There have been a few failed apprentices, who found a way to gain full powers of a holy knight in a space of only one day." King explained. "Guila for instinct, she became stronger over knight."
'Wait, one night and she is powerful to handle the sins and my transformation.' The information surprised the Omnitrix wielder. The hero raised an eye on his watch as he processed something in his mind. 'Guess I can't hold myself anymore, if there are more powerful opponents than Guila.' Ben grip the palm in his hand. 'I have to be stronger.'
As both King and Meliodas, King decided to change the topic. "So let me get this straight. You took a sacred treasure bestowed by King Liones himself and YOU SOLD IT!" King shouted.
"I need money for the tavern." Meliodas explained, but it seems like he didn't regret selling his treasure.
"Yours was stolen!" King looked at Ban.
"When they threw my butt into prison." The fox sin explained, while he laid on top of Hawk. King then turned to Diane, but froze when he spotted the giant gave him the innocent puppy eyes.
"Am I a bad girl." Diane innocently cried. "If it got misplaced then it's not your fault." King nervously said to the giant, hesitant to scold her for losing a sacred treasure. "So King what are these sacred weapons and why do the sins need it, they seem powerful on their own." Ben questioned the grizzly sin.
"Sir Ben." King turned to the hero, before he paid attention to the lake. "Let's say that this lake represents the magic power that is used by all the sins. How much water can you scope out with just using your hands?" King said to the hero. "I-Is this a rhetorical question, because kind not good with those?" Ben became confused by the sloth sin explanation. Diane and Elizabeth giggled.
King ignored the hero and decided to continue explaining. "As what I was saying. You are actually limited by using your hands, but if you have a weapon especially a sacred treasure. You can draw out an incredible amount of magic." King raised his hand. Water started to flow out of the lake surface and gather into a sphere.
"Sacred treasure is pretty awesome." Meliodas complimented. "That kind of made sense." Ben understands the King's explanation. Hawk also understood the explanation, which the pig then started shaking and shouted at Meliodas.
King stopped his magic and the water flowed back into the lake. "In any case, you have to get your sacred treasures back, assuming you are seriously saving the realm." King suggested.
'Sacred treasures, huh? Sounds pretty cool to me. Maybe I can get one to defend myself when the Omnitrix timed out.' Ben thought to himself, while Elizabeth was having a conversation with King about her family in the castle. King sadly disappointed the princess when he explained that he had no information about them. Ben noticed Elizabeth's reaction. He hated when people, especially girls were upset about something, it actually hurt his heart. He wanted to cheer up the princess, but was stopped when he noticed King staring at him.
"Hmm, can I help you?" Ben asked, started to feel uncomfortable and senses were warning him. "I kind of have questions Ben, how did you achieve that kind of power Tennyson?" King questioned the hero, which caught everyone's attention. Diane knew this might happen one day, when someone will question Ben's powers.
"Well...you see I somehow unlocked when I was 10 years old, but the magic was unstable so a guy named Azmuth created a seal and store my magic in this watch." Ben lied about his story to the sin, not fully trusting the other sins about the Omnitrix. He sense that Meliodas knew about something was off about watch awhile, since Ben caught the blonde eyeing the Omnitrix a few times. Diane already knew of Ben's history and the Omnitrix, she promised to keep quiet until the hero can fully trust the other sins and tell them the truth someday. For now he has to keep it as secret as possible.
King eye glare at the hero with pure focus like he is inspecting the hero. The fairy did notice a twitch on Ben's left eye. 'I can't tell if he's telling the truth or not, but I can tell he is keeping something.' King thought of the strange shapeshifting hero and decided he will investigate more on Ben.
...
It became very late at night and everyone started to go to bed. Diane slept soundly on the giant pig side, while Ben was resting on Diane's arms. "Why am I in this room!" Inside the tavern in one of the rooms where Ban sleeps now, King started arguing at Hawk. "Cause there is nowhere else to put you." The pig answered.
"Then I'll go outside and rough it out there. At least I'll be with Diane." King whispered at the last sentence. "Fine by me, at least Ben and Diane will have company outside." Hawk shrugged and about to walk away. "Wait, what was that...with Ben and Diane?" King asked. "Oh, well they have been sleeping together for some time. We offered Ben to sleep in the quest room, before we retrieve Ban but he insisted that he is okay sleeping outdoors." Hawk explained. King became shocked. 'Wait...s-so that means...they are s-sleeping...t-together!' King mentally panic and wanted to fly outside to see for himself that the giant and hero are sleeping together, but he was grabbed by Ban. The fox sin still in his sleep use King as a teddy bear. The sloth sin tried to escape the foxes trap. "Well, I guess you're stuck here then." Hawk again shrugged and walk out the room. "Oops, before I forget. I need to tie Meliodas up with that stash of webs that Ben offered."
Outside Ben was looking at the stars admiring the beauty of the sky, but his mind was starting to drift somewhere else. 'This is troubling. This world is filled with strong and powerful opponents that may or might not surpass my aliens.' Ben thought in worry. 'Guila can handle herself better against me and the sins combined.' The hero started a flashback of the female knight's power, speed and skills that nearly surpass them. 'Not only that, but Diane was good against my heaviest hitter and she didn't use her full strength.' The hero then flashbacks when they first met and the fight they'd engaged in. 'If more enemies shows up and that they are far stronger than us, then...I can't be able to help the sins or worse.' Ben gritted his teeth in anger and wanted to be angry at himself for not being stronger, but he took a deep slow breath and calmed his mind. The Omnitrix wielder then looks up in the distance and then to his watch. A determined look appeared in his eyes.
The hero jumped off the giant arms and landed safely on his feet, before he started walking towards the woods. As the hero walked deeper into the forests, the darkness shade of the woods consumed his body and he was gone.
On the next few days the sun rose up in the sky and the sins started heading off again with a now second objective in mind. Retrieving the sins of lost sacred treasures and the first sin who will retrieve their weapon is Diane. Now the sins and the group camp near a town.
"That town over there by the side of the mountain is called Vaizel. It's a merchant town." Meliodas explained. "Do you think it's there?" Hawk questioned the sin of wrath. "Not too long ago, one of our customers said that a hammer was brought in and it was so big nobody could wield it. Don't you remember." The blonde reminded the pig, but also explained how he got the information.
"So nobody can wield it?" Elizabeth sounded surprised, but also at the same time interested and curious of the hammer.
"It could be Diane." King exclaimed, floating around the air. "The hell with that." Ban complained. "We got to do something about my clothes." Ban only wearing his pants and shoes, only showing his exposing a lot of muscles and skin on the upper body.
"Just cover your six-pack with an apron." Meliodas suggested, but didn't care much of Ban's situation.
"That is not important now!" Diane shouted as she slammed both her arms on the ground. A shockwave forced the princess, hawk and sins into the air. Hawk and Elizabeth gave a surprise shout (or squeak), while the three male weren't bothered or affected by the giant wrath. Even in the air Meliodas somehow got a view under Elizabeth's skirt. Luckily everyone landed safely.
"Why do I have to stay and mind the bar?" Diane complained with tears in her eyes. "Look Diane, ever since a giant went wild at their festival a few years ago. They all have been banned from town." Meliodas explained the reason why Diane had stayed behind. "But we'll come right back up and see what's up." He reassured the giant.
"But it will be boring!" Diane cried as she shook her head.
"You know I think I'll stay behind too." Elizabeth said to the captain, which surprised the giant. "What really?" Diane asked.
"Sure, it will be nice to have a little girl time for a change." Elizabeth smiles, wanting to spend time with her new friend and the only other girl in the group. "Yeah, just girls." Diane giggled in excitement.
"Okay, let's hit it." Meliodas said, before marching towards the town. "But..wait a second, where's Ben." Hawk questioned, now realizing Ben is not around. The sins and the princess also notice Ben's absence. "Yeah, you're right, where is he?" Diane looked around, feeling a little concerned.
"I'm over here." The group Ben voices and looks where the hero was approaching towards them. The Omnitrix wielder yawned as he joined the group.
"Man, you look terrible...have you been sleeping alright?" Meliodas asked in worry as he noticed rings under Ben's eyes. "I'm fine, just had an uncomfortable bed, that's all." Ben reassured the leader of sins, but the hero felt two pairs of eyes piercing the back of his head and skull. Ben turned and spotted, an angry giant glaring at him.
"So Ben ready to go?" Melidios didn't need to ask twice as he felt pushed by Ben towards the town. "Yeah, let's go." Sweat appeared on the hero's head.
...
The town of Vaizel was lively and filled with many merchants and people gathered together, while the town people are either enjoying their day shopping in the markets. Ben was amazed by the amount of artifacts, weapons, tools, foods, books and many more, but his goal was not look around and buy any merchandise. He and sins are looking for Diane hammer and maybe get some clothes for Ban (since his actually wearing an apron). The hero and sins looked around the town to find any clues where the hammer might be located. Meliodas walked passed by a green haired individual with glasses, who looked at Meliodas and the sins with a surprise look but he then minded his business. During the search Ben accidently bumped into a cloaked figure, who overpowered the hero in height. The hero apologized to the figure, but in response the cloaked figure's red eyes narrowed and glared at the Omnitrix wielder. Ben, feeling a bit uncomfortable decided to leave the individual and continue helping the sins. It only took a few seconds when an old man got their attention and they decided to ask about the hammer.
"Ah, that's easy enough. Right there behind that big rock." The old man, who appeared to be drunk pointing to the direction where the hammer was held. A boulder size rock that has a bridge attached to the side of the mountain.
The hero and sins thanked the old man and headed towards the rock. When they finally went behind the rock. A gigantic war hammer designed for a giant that laid behind on the rock. It is as tall as Diane, its head being double-sided with one side being a typical hammer and the other being a warpick. It also includes a pommel on its other end.
"Look, it's Diane Gideon." King recognized the giant weapon.
"It was here all the time." Meliodas sounded relieved.
"Man, that thing is huge. How are we going to carry it back to Diane?" Ben questioned himself, due the size and weight of the weapon. It won't be an easy task to do or considering he could use Humungasaur or some of his heavy hitters can carry the hammer.
"Alright, it's time to begin our annual Vaizel festival now." A very small man shouted in a squeaky voice, announcing the start of a type of celebration. The very tiny man, with a helm covering his face, a red cloth that draped from the helm that covered his body, and very thin limbs, which were the only parts of his body not covered including his mouth.
The people shouted in excitement. "The use of weapons is strictly forbidden. Men who use fist for talking to sign up straight away." The tiny man announced. "The winner will get a hundred gold coins, but that's not all you'll get that giant war hammer." The announcer pointed at Diane's sacred treasure.
"What a barbaric gathering." King was disgusted by the type of behavior for the excitement of fighting. "Right captai-" King didn't finish when noticed that both Ban and Meliodas were excited to join the festival.
"We're about to put our names in, right captain?" Ban grinned.
"Let's see who got it takes." Meliodas smirked. Ben noticed what was about to transpire and even though he liked the thrill of going hero and having a good fight, but right now he is tired and wanted to take a nap. "Sorry guys, but I'm gonna stay out of the-GAHHH!" Ben was interrupted, when Ban suddenly grabbed him by the back of his shirt and dragged him to the register. He wasn't the only one, King was also forced to join being dragged by Meliodas.
"Hey, count us in!" Meliodas shouted. "You can count me out." Both the hero and fairy disagreed. While Meliodas was dragging King, the blonde was suddenly lifted up by a large man. King was getting terrified, since he was still held by Meliodas.
"Hey, this isn't a festival for little kids." The very muscular large man growled. The man bald with tanned skin, muscular body and few strand of facial hair. The clothing he wears are pants, shoes and a pair of gloves that look similar to Dianes.
"Sorry, didn't see what the problem is?" Meliodas was confused and not intimidated by the large man size.
"Hey, there friend." A hand gestured to calm the large man down. The hand belongs to Howzer, but his clothing is different. He wears a sleeveless wrestler-type civilian outfit, along with purple pinstripe pants and brown boots. "This is a festival. Just relaxed." Howzer said in a calming tone.
"What..who..do you know who you are talking too. You know my name is Tiazoo right." Tiazoo angrily introduced. "I've been the winner three years in a row." A vein popped on his head in anger and wanted so badly to teach these people a lesson, but he wanted to save his strength at the start of the festival and decided to leave them alone.
"Okay." Howzer scratched his head, before he pumped his fist in excitement. "Man, My job as being keeping me away from here, until now. My dream here is to become fighting here is coming true, at last." Howzer his muscles in anticipation. "So let's do this you guys." He said, before he moved to the arena.
"I've seen him somewhere before." King instructed the others.
Now everyone registered their names and went on top of the rock where the arena is located and where the festival will begin. "The fighting festival elimination round will now begin." The announcer spoke. "Fighters into the ring."
"That rotten little punk." Tiazoo looked at Howzer, who combed his hair. Meliodas and Ban jumped on the ring. "I'm too tired for this." Ben sighed, but the hero then noticed the same cloaked figure join the arena, while giving Ben a glare. The hero would have questioned what he did wrong with that guy, but for some reason the way the figure is looking at him is more like a type predator looking at his prey and for the hero it felt familiar somehow.
"The seven deadly sins. I thought they would show up." A woman said, investigating an eye on the seven deadly sins. "Gramoire."
"Right." The man next to her knew what the woman wanted to say and went to enter the ring.
"You ready, Ben." Meliodas smiled at the hero. Ben looked down at the sin and smiled in return. "Let's get Diane's sacred treasure back." The hero said in confidence. Determined to bring back the weapon back to the giantess.
A few days before the festival. Somewhere underground of a different location. Two individuals were standing, while their heads were covered with bags. Then the sacks were removed from two individuals. One of them is Jericho and the other is a very large man with a peculiar curly mustache and thick plucked eyebrow. He has a fairly ordinary buzz cut hairstyle and angular face. He wears heavy armor with color of both silver and dark red, metal gloves, spikes on his left shoulder plate. A very large shirt popping out his armor by the waist and neck.
The two Holy knights adjusted their eyes through the dark cave and looked around their new surroundings. They became surprised when both spotted Helbram and Ghila, the latter holding the bags in hand.
"Bloody Cuts! Why are you here!?" The man shouted in a demanding tone. "I have no obligations to answer you." Ghila respond with a smile. "Conclusion, I'll strangle you later." The large knight said, like he is on a mission.
"I thought our sole purpose was to speak to lord Hendrickson?" Jericho the two knights on why they were brought here.
"It was indeed." A voice spoke behind them.
Jericho and the large knight turned around and saw their superiors Lord Hendrickson himself, but his sudden arrival didn't catch their attention. It's what behind him. "I believe you two are...Twigo and Jericho. Am I correct." Hendrickson said in a blunt tone.
"What the-" Jericho started
"Heck is that." The large knight known as Twigo finished Jericho's sentence.
Both knights eyes widened in shock witnessing something they haven't seen before. A dead carcass of a red demon with one broken horn and other missing and no eyes. The body was raised and chained by the ceiling of the cave. "Welcome brave knights, who want to grave the power of the Holy knight." Hendrickson spoke, before he picked up a dagger and cut the flesh of the carcass. Purple blood spilling from the wound and Hendrickson filled a cup with blood.
"Here today the two of you will be reborn." Hendrickson handed the blood over to Jericho, who was still in shock but also started to feel other emotions. Fear and worry.
"Drink. This is the blood of a demon." The superiors knight instructed.
Both Jericho and Twigo looked at the cup as the blood boiled inside. "The blood of a demon." Jericho sounded shocked.
"Strangely the fairy forest, what came to light." Hendrickson explained. "When by all accounts they have been sealed away forever. After their defeat by the goddesses and other races during the holy war." He told the history of the Britannia holy war and the enemies they faced.
"Now that after drinking this, if you prove compatible. You will be able to summon and control more magic than you ever have before." Hendrickson explained when the knight drinks the blood. "Like Ghila." The name of the knight surprised both Jericho and Twigo. Both turn their heads towards the explosive user knight.
"You do want to desire power?" Helbram questioned Jericho, but it also sounded that he was luring her to drink the blood.
"Yes, all of it." Jericho said, gritting her teeth in anger. She remembered the humiliation and embarrassment when she encountered Ban. Jericho wanted revenge. She wasn't the only one who thought of revenge. Twigo also wanted revenge after his encounter with sir Meliodas, who made the fool out of him and defeated Twigo with a single blow. He wanted revenge, but there was one questioned. Why didn't wasn't he offer the demon blood?
Twigo turned to Hendrickson. "Pardon me Lord Hendrickson, but may I ask. Why wasn't I allowed to participate with the blood to make me stronger?" The large knight questioned his superior. Hendrickson turned to Twigo.
"Because I have something different in mind for you." Hendrickson turned to Helbram and respond with a single nod. Helbram took that as a sign and picked up a bag. The knight reached his hand in and took a hexagon-shaped object. Glowing red with eerie similarity to the demon itself. "Gilthunder handed that object to me not too long ago. He wanted me to study it's strange behavior, but it also might be linked to the shapeshifter that we've been hearing about." Hendrickson smiled in curiosity and interest. "So I'm testing something."
"Testing something?" Twigo was confused and wondered what was Hendrickson's intention on using that weird object. The large knight suddenly heard screams next to him. Twigo turned and just when he spotted Jericho vomited blood from her mouth, before she collapsed on the ground.
Twigo eyes widened in shock. "Hmm, she wasn't compatible." Hendrickson sounded disappointed. "No, she was not." Helbram agreed.
The large knight wondered how Jericho died, before his eyes moved down to see broken glasses of the cup. 'D-Did she drink it.' He became more shocked and worried, while his instincts told him to run before it was too late. But it was already too late.
"AAHHHH!" Twigo suddenly felt a pain sensation at the back of his neck, but also felt his body being electrocuted and...changing. He moved eye to the object attached to his and Helbram's hand away from him.
"Now let's see what happens." Helbram spoke with interest, but also sounded excited.
"Y-yo-you...b-bastaaAAAAARRRRGGGHHH!" Twigo's body suddenly started to expand and mutated, while glowing red. Twigo's appearance changed more, growing with unknown size and expanding as pieces of his armor and clothing were being torn apart.
"GH HAARR HHHH!"
Jericho's eyes opened with new sudden emence power flowing inside her. She picked herself up from the ground and looked up towards her allies with the dull look in her eyes. Ghila's hand gently touched her chin. "Welcome, now you're one of us." Ghila greeted.
Jericho looked up again, noticing her Ghila and her superiors but also something new. A large creature loomed over the knights, it's red eyes staring down to his new allies or enemies.
"GGGGRRRROOOOAAAAHHHHHHHHEEEEERRRRHHHHHH!"
