We're back in the next story of I'd like to now call the Re:Route timeline where Sora ends up in a world that surprisingly I can't believe no one has done before. The world of the seven deadly sins, aka, Nanatsu no Taizai. Here, Sora travels to Britanna, alongside Ryuko and Satsuki who followed him from Honnouji to find the next guardian of light and the next fragment of Kairi's heart to bring her back, while also getting caught up in Elizabeth's search to find the seven deadly sins and save the kingdom from the holy knights, and as well as the forces of darkness that are gathering.

(10 years ago)
It was supposed to be a normal festival like every year to celebrate the founding of the kingdom, everything was going well until the knights of the kingdom were suddenly called into duty out of the blue. Now a lone young knight was wandering through the streets to see why he and his brothers in arms were called to duty, the many buildings making up the town were either damaged or collapsed, like a battle had just occurred, putting the young knight on edge as he kept his hand on his sheathed sword should he'd be forced to defend himself.
"Hey!" A nearby voice called out and startled the young knight, and then claimed down when he saw the source of the voice belonged to a more elderly knight down another street. "You there, boy! Come here and give me a hand." The elder knight said.
"Yes sir!" The young knight said as he rushed over and the two knights began moving down the street.
"So, where are you from?" The elder knight asked.
"Cains, sir." The young knight answered.
"Cains? I've been serving this kingdom for 40 years now. I never heard of the place." The elder knight said as the two of them were getting closer to a tower in the middle of the town.
"That's not surprising,sir. It's way out in the boonies."
Well, you mustn't get flustered, if you ever want to be a holy knight apprentice." The elder advised which caught the younger knight by surprise.
"I couldn't be a holy knight in a million years." The young knight said with a small chuckle, although a small part of him wanted to become an apprentice.
"Then this may be a rough job for a young fellow like you." The elder said as the two knights came to the end of the street, near the tower as they came across a sight that terrified the younger knight. Dozens of dead knights were lying in the streets, in pools of their own blood.
"W-who are these?!" The young knight asked with fear as he looked over the dead bodies.
"Holy knights, one and all."
"Wh-what happened to everyone? I don't understand." The young knight said as he backed away from the bodies.
"What happened? They were all mercilessly butchered." The elder knight explained, which made the younger one even more terrified. "In just the blink of an eye at that. By just seven people." He said as he looked upwards at the tower where massacre began.
This is a tale of ancient times, an era before the human and non-human worlds were forever divided. When the holy knights defended the realm, wielding their magical powers, they were feared and highly respected. But among them, a group emerged that betrayed the kingdom and became mortal enemies to all holy knights. They were known throughout the land, as the seven deadly sins!"
(Present day, near Cains)
(Music: Kingdom of Corona field theme)
"I CANNOT YOU BELIEVE YOU TWO!" Sora shouted as he, Ryuko and Satsuki walked through a forest while shoving away any branches in his path. "Do you have any idea what you've? I can't just take people to other worlds! That's interfering with the order!"
"Sounds like a pretty stupid rule if you ask me." Ryuko stated as she and Satsuki followed Sora.
"If anything, those rules were already broken when we both discovered your true identity. It's already too late." Satsuki said.
"I could've at least stopped any more damage from happening. Why did you two follow me anyway?" Sora asked.
"Because you shouldn't be doing this on your own. We could properly help in some way." Ryuko said as Sora shook his head in disagreement and the scene froze when he looked at the screen.
"Hey. It's me, Sora. You're properly wondering why I'm yelling at these two girls. Well, their Ryuko and Satsuki. Although they didn't act like sisters before we found out they were." Sora said as he pulled in a photo of Ryuko and Satsuki with their kamuis activated while Ryuko was breathing fire and Satsuki had an annoyed look before Sora pushed away the photo. "So I just helped them save their world and now they think it's okay to just follow me to other worlds, even though it's against the world order. Now I'm trying to figure out how I can explain this to Donald without getting strapped to a chair so I can listen to his 12 hour world order guideline video." He said as the scene resumed and the dream eater spirit, Chirithy suddenly appeared on his shoulder.
"You brought me along, so what's a couple more friends to offer some help? I don't see the downside." Chirithy said.
"*sigh* Okay, fine. But if we end up back in Honnouji, you two are staying home." Sora said to the sisters.
"I doubt getting rid of Ryuko that easily. Especially when she-" Ryuko's Kamui, Senketsu tried to speak, before Ryuko gave him an annoyed look.
"Senketsu, washing machine." Ryuko stated which made her kamui panic.
"I'm sorry! I'll stop talking now!" Senketsu cried out as Satsuki looked at her own kamui, Junketsu.
"If only me and Junketsu had what you Senketsu have, Ryuko." Satsuki said with a sly laugh while Junketsu's eyes looked in another direction and Sora saw a source of light up ahead.
"Hey look. I think that's a way out." Sora said as the trio walked out of the forest and stepped out onto a cliff that overlooked a large massive plain with a small village at the bottom of the cliffs with the daytime sun shining over it.
(World logo: Britannia)
"So now what?" Ryuko asked as the trio walked up the edge of the cliff.
"Well, we gotta find another guardian of light, since that's how I can find the next piece of Kairi's heart." Sora said.
"You found the first piece within Ryuko. That could mean someone might have the next one as well." Satsuki said.
"Oh, yeah. Chirithy, you did say that the pieces of Kairi's heart might be inside hearts similar to her's, right?" Sora asked the spirit.
"Yep. The pieces may have sought out those hearts for protection, until they could be awakened again." Chirithy explained.
"Could that mean the people that have the piece could be having dreams about Sora? Just like I did?" Ryuko asked as she referred to the dreams she had of Sora's memories. "So what do we do? Just ask every girl we meet if they had any dreams of him lately?"
"Uh...No. That's properly a bit creepy. We'll just ask about the other guardians of light. Hopefully one of them is already in this world." Sora said.
"We could start there." Satsuki suggested as she pointed to a small building on top of the hill that was in the shape of a hat. "Hopefully someone inside has seen a person wielding a keyblade."
"Good idea. And if that doesn't work out, we could just go into town and ask someone there." Sora said.
"Wait a moment. If there's a town at the bottom of the hill, why is there just one building at the top all by itself?" Ryuko questioned the location of the hat shaped building.
"Perhaps there is no room in the town." Senketsu guessed, only for Ryuko to look down the hill at the town.
"I don't know, the town's actually kinda small. Seems like there's plenty of room."
"It'll be fine. We'll be in and out to ask questions real quick. Oh, by the way,Senketsu. Try not to talk so much when we're around other people, they might be able to hear you, and clothes don't talk in other worlds." Sora suggested.
"I understand. I'll talk only when it's just us." Senketsu said as Sora then looked at Chirithy on his shoulder.
"Chirithy, you should probably stay hidden."
"No need to ask, I've done this before." Chirithy said as he disappeared in a puff of smoke and the trio walked up the hill towards the building, where they were able to make out the name of the building as the "Boar hat" and smelled something.
"Hey, do you smell that?" Sora asked, infact, the smell reminded him a little too much of Jack Sparrow.
"*Sniff* Oh god, don't tell me." Ryuko groaned as they opened the door to the building and were greeted by the sight of many men drinking and hollering at the tables, the boar hat was a tavern. "It's a goddamn drink tank."
"So much for reliable information, most of the men are drunk and it's not even noon." Satsuki said.
"Well, someone should have a clear head around here." Sora said as the three trekked around the tables while looking for someone who wasn't drunk, while Ryuko stopped when she felt something touch her rear and looked behind her to see a bar 's hand on her backside.
"Oops, sorry beautiful. My hand must've slipped." The bar said with a drunk laugh, which made Ryuko angry.
"YEAH RIGHT!" Ryuko yelled as she punched the man in the face with enough force to send him flying out the front door. "That is exactly why I don't go into bars." She said as she dusted off her hands and looked around to see everyone staring at her. "Get back to drinking, ya drunks!" She shouted as the bar patrons went back to drinking like nothing happened.
"Way to be subtle, Ryuko." Sora said.
:Oh, geez. Was Bob at again? That's properly why we don't get many women in here." A voice from behind the trio said.
"Well what kind of woman would wanna come into this place any-Huh?" Ryuko was to yell until she turned around and saw the voice belonged to a young boy, who had blond hair and was rather short, wearing a tavern uniform and a sword on his back, with the hilt resembling a green dragon. "What's a kid doing here?"
"Actually, I'm the owner of the bar." The young supposed boy answered with a smile, much to the trio's surprise.
"You're the owner? No offence, but you look even younger than me, and people still think I'm ten." Sora said.
"Eh, you actually kinda look like you are." The tavern owner said, which made Sora slumped at the response. "Sorry, I can't serve you guys, you're all obviously underaged, so I can only give you food."
"We're not here for food or a drink, we're actually here for-Excuse me a moment." Satsuki said as she kicked a bar in the face for trying to grab her rear like the other did with Ryuko and straight out the door to land on the first one. "We're here for information." She continued while Sora and Ryuko were surprised by Satsuki's sudden action.
"You are definitely my sister." Ryuko stated.
"Hmm, hold that thought would ya? You made a little after you kicked that guy in the face." The tavern owner said as he paid attention to the spilled meat pie on the floor. "Hawk! Get out here!" He called out as a large pink pig with an earring on its ear came out from behind the main bar.
"Ugg, twice in one morning, what did I do to deserve this?" The pig spoke which caught Ryuko and Satsuki by surprise.
"What...the..hell?" Ryuko said while Satsuki remained in a state of stunned silence while Sora remained unsurprised since talking animals were just another Tuesday for him.
"That's right, I'm a talking pig. Get it out of your systems." The pig named Hawk said and began eating the spilled meat pie. "Scrap disposal is tough business." He said between bites until the floor was clean without a hint of a mess. "Next time, there better be some decent scraps."
"You guys sure you don't want anything to eat? I got a family recipe for whole roasted hog." The bar owner asked which Hawk understood as a veiled threat and did a one sixty.
"I am so full! Those were the best scraps I ever had!" Hawk said in a cheery auditude.
"Well, enough about talkings pigs right now. We wanted to ask if you might've seen some certain people. Their dressed almost like me, and one of them might have red hair and is a little loud." Sora described the guardians of light, including Axel, which made the former organization member sneeze somewhere.
"Hmmmm….." The bar tavern owner hummed as he put his hand on his cheek to think while Sora and Ryuko leaned in anticipation. "Nope! Sorry, I would've remembered people like that." He answered with a cheeky smile that disappointed Sora and Ryuko while Satsuki simply sighed.
"Are you even sure? You hardly pay attention to anything anymore." Hawk commented.
"You could have a point there, Hawk. You could have a point." The bar owner said.
"Well, guess we'd better go into town and ask around." Sora said as the tavern owner began to think of something.
"Hey, hold up a second. I think we could work something-" The bar owner offered when suddenly the front door slammed open where everyone looked to see a man out of breath with a terrified look on his face.
(Music stops)
"I-I saw it! I saw it with my own two eyes! I swear by all that's holy, it was the wandering rust knight I saw!" The man exclaimed.
"Wandering rust knight?" Sora questioned with a puzzled look.
"Really? It's here in Cains?" A bar asked.
"Oh, come on. It's just a made up story people use to scare their children into behaving." Another bar said in disbelief. "If you don't do what I tell you, the seven deadly sins in blood rusted armor. Ohh, ahh! Hahahaha!" The laughed, along with a few other men.
"Seven deadly sins?" Sora questioned with curiosity now hanging over his mind.
"You mean you never heard of them, kid?"
"Their wanted posters are hanging everywhere. Like over there." A man pointed out the bar wall where several wanted posters of seven people were hanging, with the names of Meliodas, Diane, Ban, King, Gowther, Merlin, and Escanor written under the drawings. "When was it? Ten years ago?"
"Dozens of holy knights from all across the land were butchered so fast, they didn't even have time to defend themselves. The seven deadly sins were the ones responsible for it." A bar told the tale.
"Why were they fighting in the first place?" Ryuko asked.
"Because they killed the holy knight's grandmaster in a coup to overthrow the kingdom. From what I've been told, the way the grandmaster was murdered, was too gruesome for anyone to even look at."
They say their captain, Meliodas, was the scariest one of them all! Their saying he's even brought down entire counties before." A man said as Sora, Ryuko, and even Satsuki could only imagine what kind of power this Meliodas might have.
"So, where are they all now?" Sora asked as he looked at the wanted posters
"Actually, none of them have caught yet."
"I've heard rumors they've all been dead." One bar guessed while the bar owner left the conversion to go behind the bar to begin pouring beer into a few pitchers.
"Of course they're dead, they have to be. The new generation of holy knights would never let them live after they did."
"Yeah, you got a point there. Even now, with the king sick in bed, you can bet their gonna make sure that the kingdom stays safe for all it's people."
But those notices that are up on the board get updated every single year. Doesn't that mean those seven criminals are still out there?" The man who rushed into the bar questioned which made the other patrons think for a moment.
"Yeah, well, some spooky knight walking around in rusty armor sounds pretty ridiculous to me, come on!" A man laughed it off while Sora was putting together a theory of the so-called rust knight.
"Hey, guys." Sora whispered to Ryuko and Satsuki. "I think this rusty knight guy isn't one of those seven deadly sins people, I think it might be one of the guardians."
"What makes you so certain?" Satsuki asked.
"Three of them, Terra, Aqua and Ventus have this special armor they use. Maybe people have been seeing them wearing it." Sora explained.
"I guess there's only one way to find out for sure. We gotta find this rust knight guy." Ryuko said.
"That man that came in here to say he saw it. Perhaps the knight is nearby." Satsuki suggested when the loud sound of a metallic chatter caught the whole bar's attention and looked towards the door, where the sound came from, which seemed to be right outside.
"I think he might already be here." Sora said as the sound approached closer and put everyone on edge while Hawk sniffed the air.
"That smells an awful lot like rust to me." Hawk said with confirmation as the door opened slowly to reveal a large figure, wearing rusty knight's armor and a cape.
"The..seven..deadly..sins.." The knight spoke with an echo as it stumbled into the bar and terrified every bar inside the tavern.
"IT'S HERE!" The entire bar screamed in terror as they all began running past the rust knight and partially tripped over themselves and each other trying to get out the door, leaving only Sora, Ryuko, Satsuki, the bar owner, and a terrified Hawk alone in the tavern.
"Let me guess, that isn't one of them." Ryuko asked as she, Sora and Satsuki got ready to fight and summon their weapons in case the wandering rust knight was hostile.
"Definitely not!" Sora confirmed as the rust knight stumbled closer to them with the tavern owner stepping in front of them. "Hey, hold up!"
"Now who are you?" The owner asked the knight and ignored Sora's warning. After a few moments of a silent staredown, the wandering rust knight suddenly began falling backwards and fell to the floor with a loud crash, causing the knight's helmet to fall off and reveal their true face, much to the surprise of everyone, the knight was actually a young girl with long silver hair that covered her right eye and an a single earring on her left ear, and had fallen unconscious from the fall.
"It's..just a girl?" Sora said as he, Ryuko and Satsuki put down their guard and Hawk moved in to get a closer look at the fallen girl.
"This kid is one of the seven deadly sins?" The talking pig questioned.
(Later, upstairs)
After the girl in armor had fallen unconscious, the tavern owner asked for Sora and the others to help get her upstairs. After setting the girl down into a bed, they removed the girl's armor to see if she might be injured, only to find the girl was unharmed, meaning the girl may have passed out due to exhaustion. Without the armor, the girl seemed to actually be around Sora's age, wearing a dark leotard and stockings.
"She's a girl, definitely." Hawk confirmed as the girl laid sleeping on the bed.
"What was a girl doing in some old armor?" Sora questioned.
"She mentioned the seven deadly sins before passing out. It must have something to do with that." Satsuki guessed.
"Let's double check." The tavern owner said.
"Double check what?!" Hawk questioned as the owner began eyeing the sleeping girl.
"The sweet gentle face. Those buxom curves. This perfume." The tavern owner observed as he continued by grabbing the sleeping girl's chest. "The frim springness.." He said he continued grabbing the girl's chest until Ryuko decided to put a stop to it by grabbing the owner from behind and tossed him into a wall.
"The hell do you think you're doing to her, ya freakin' prev?!" Ryuko yelled.
"Don't worry, I'm also a doctor. I'm just checking her heartbeat." The owner claimed with a smug smile, despite the fact he was stuck in the wall.
"LIKE HELL YOU ARE!" Ryuko shouted.
"I always warned ya your previness was gonna catch up with you one day!" Hawk said to the owner as Sora looked at the bed and noticed the girl was starting to stir.
"Hey, she's waking up." Sora said as the silver haired girl rose from the bed to see the scene of Ryuko about to punch the bar owner further to the wall, which she stopped when she noticed the girl was awake.
"Um...Pardon me, but..what's going on?" The girl politely asked as Ryuko let go of the bar owner.
"Well, uh, you see.." Ryuko stuttered as she tried to think of a good way of not to scare the girl, while the bar owner already came up with a good story.
"That'll be a good place to put the new shelf. Thanks for helping out with that." The bar owner said as he jumped out of the imprint of himself on the wall like nothing happened and Sora walked up the girl.
"Hey, are you alright? We thought you were hurt for a moment." Sora said as he offered the girl a hand to get off the bed.
"Oh, thank you. I'm just fine. But, where am I?" The girl asked.
"You walked into my bar, and then you passed out cold on the floor." The owner explained.
"Your bar?"
"Yeah, the boar hat. It's my tavern."
"You're the owner?" The girl questioned with surprise.
"Is that so weird?" The owner asked.
"No, I mean, I just saw that sword on your back, so I naturally assumed.."
"Oh, this thing?" The owner said as he drew his sword from the sheath, which made the girl flinch from the sound of the weapon being drawn, only for her fear to be mute as she saw the sword had a broken blade as the owner held it in the air.
"Did I scare you? If all you see is the handle, guess it would look intimidating, doesn't it?" The owner said as he put the broken sword back in it's sheath. "Makes our patrons think twice before skipping out on their bill."
"Wait, you're just carrying around a busted sword? Why don't you just get it fixed?" Sora asked.
"Well, mainly because I don't feel like it." The owner answered, which made Sora's group sweatdrop at the answer while the girl looked at the keyblade wielder and his friends.
"Um, excuse me, but are you working here too?" The girl asked.
"Huh? Oh, no we don't. I'm Sora, this is Ryuko and Satsuki. We just got here when you passed out." Sora introduced himself, along with the two sisters. "We were just asking questions about finding some people I know. Maybe you might've seen them? They're kinda dressed like me, and a few might be carrying a piece of armor on their arms or shoulders."
"Oh, I'm sorry. But, I haven't seen anyone like you're describing." The girl answered as Sora signed in disappointment.
"Well thanks for the help anyway. It was worth a try." Sora said.
"Does that mean you're gonna get going now? If you guys stay here any longer, we're gonna charge you for lollygagging." Hawk commented while the girl smiled at the talking pig and ran over to hug him.
It's a talking piggy! He's so cute!" The girl said, happily as she cuddled Hawk.
"Hi there, my name's Hawk."
"A long time ago, I pestered my father to give a piggy like this for my birthday!"
"So, did you like having a pet pig?" The bar owner asked as the girl stopped hugging Hawk and suddenly had a sad expression on her face.
"Didn't get one…" The girl answered.
"Hey, are you all hungry at all? I could put something together." The bar owner offered some food as Hawk suddenly became horrified.
"Some food? Well, I guess we could have a bite before hitting the road. What you girls say?" Sora asked Ryuko and Satsuki.
"Sure, I guess we could." Ryuko said.
"I'm not sure…" Satsuki said.
"Come on, what's the harm in a little food?" Sora asked.
(Downstairs in the bar)
After being offered a meal from the bar owner, Sora and the others followed him and Hawk back into the bar while the mysterious girl stood in front of the wanted posters of the seven deadly sins with a sad expression, Sora took notice of.
"Hey, is something wrong?" Sora asked.
"Huh? Oh, sorry, but nothing's wrong." The girl said.
"Come and get it!" The bar owner called out from behind the bar counter and got everyone's attention as the girl walked over to the bar and left Sora with Ryuko and Satsuki.
"I think you were onto something, Satsuki. I think this girl was in that armor because of these guys." Sora said as he looked at the wanted posters.
"You think she might know them?" Ryuko guessed.
"Whatever it is, I think we should follow up on it." Satsuki suggested as Sora and Ryuko looked at her in confusion. "It might be a long shot, but I think finding the seven deadly sins might be the clue you need to find the keyblade wielder, Sora."
"Hmm, well...I guess it's worth a shot." Sora agreed.
"Hey. You guys coming to eat?" The bar owner asked.
"Huh? Sorry about that." Sora said as he, Ryuko and Satsuki sat down on the bar stools along with the mysterious girl as the bar owner set down some meat pies.
"First you nurse me back to health, now you're feeding me? How can I possibly thank you enough?" The girl asked.
"You might wanna taste that first, before saying thanks." Hawk advised.
"Are you kidding me, pig? This looks pretty good." Ryuko said as everyone, except Satsuki since she had a bad feeling about the food, took a bite of their meat pies, and immediately regretted it.
"Mphp?!" The girl said with a muffled and disgusted sound.
"HOLY-Braaag…" Ryuko groaned as she nearly puked out her meat pie at it's disgusting taste. "God! That was horrible! How can you let us eat this crap, Sora?! Sora?" She questioned as Ryuko turned to the keyblade wielder to see he had fainted with his face fallen into the meat pie. "OH CRAP,HE'S DEAD!"
"I knew I had a bad feeling about this." Satsuki stated as she reached into Sora's pocket to pull out a panacea and lifted up his head to put the recovery item into his mouth and woke up the keyblade wielder from his food poisoning.
"What did I miss?" Sora asked, completely forgetting about his poisoning.
"Apparently the chief isn't that great in the kitchen." Satsuki said as she looked at the bar owner.
"Not a surprise. The boar hat has a reputation for having great booze, the food..not so much." The bar owner said as Ryuko grabbed the owner by the shirt.
"You could've told us before we ate your crap! What are you trying to do?! Kill us?!" Ryuko questioned, angrily.
"Ah, ah, ah. Read the sign." The bar owner said he pointed to a sign on the wall behind him.
"Killing the bartender will only double your tab?" Ryuko read the sign outloud.
"I like to think ahead." The bar owner said with a smile as Ryuko let go of his shirt while the owner turned his attention back to the mysterious girl after she was done gagging on the food. "What do you think? Awful, isn't it?"
"Yes…" The girl said.
"Knew it was." Hawk and the bar owner said at the same time while the girl suddenly started crying.
"But still...It's delicious. More than I can say.." The girl said as she wiped the tears from her eyes.
"So, what were you doing walking around in that old armor?" The bar owner finally asked.
"I'm on a quest. To find the seven deadly sins." The girl answered while Sora and Ryuko looked at Satsuki, realizing her hunch about the girl was right.
"Why would you do that? No one has any idea whether those guys are still alive or not, and their serious villains." Hawk commented. Suddenly, there was a loud knock on the front door, surprising the girl.
"Open up! The villagers told us who's in there!" A knight outside the bar, along with a small squad demanded as he knocked on the door. "We are the order of the beard of the mountain cat. Serving under the holy knights from the foot of the mountain! Wandering rust knight, member of the seven deadly sins, Come out! And do so peacefully!" He ordered while the girl became fearful and Sora's group was put on guard.
"What's the matter with everyone today?" The bar owner asked.
"Holy knights…" The girl said with fear.
"Hey, Sora. What do you wanna do?" Ryuko whispered.
"I don't know. But I don't want those knights to arrest this girl for doing nothing." Sora said.
"Don't worry about it fellas. I got an idea." The bar owner offered while the knight squad outside were becoming impatient.
"I don't think they're coming out." One knight with a stuffy nose said.
"This is kinda strange. When did someone put a tavern on top of this hill?" One knight with a beard questioned.
"You know, now that you mentioned it, I don't even remember seeing this place three days ago." Another knight agreed on the sudden appearance of the boar hat.
"On your guard! Because we're about to go up against a holy knight who answered directly to the king ten years ago." The lead knight advised.
"Come on, there's nothing to worry about, Allioni. I'm sure he's old by now." The knight with the stuffy nose said.
"That's right. He's no match for fighters like us, who were trained by sir Twigo himself." A knight said, much to the annoyance of Allioni.
"How many times have I told you? Don't underestimate them! During the uprising in Liones, dozens of holy knights were butchered in an instant!" Allioni warned.
""About that, I kinda wonder if things were a little exaggerated a little bit." The long nosed knight said.
"And? What are you trying to say?"
Well, they say one holy knight is as powerful as a hundred ordinary soldiers. But dozens of them murdered? I don't know.." The bearded knight said with skepticism as Allioni became angered.
"I saw their bodies with my own eyes!" Allioni yelled.
"Everybody, calm down! For now, just stand back, Allioni. I think we can handle one old man." The long nosed knight said as he turned back to the bar door. "Hey! Get out here!" He yelled as the bar owner opened the door and walked out.
"Yeah? What's up?" The owner asked, which surprised the knight squad with his young appearance.
"Who are you, little kid?!" Allioni questioned.
"Well, I'm the owner of this place."
"The wandering rust knight's here. Send him out!" Allioni ordered.
"Better come out." The bar owner said as he turned his attention to inside the bar.
"Mwahaha!" Hawk laughed as he came strolling out with the girl's armor on him. "Who has called for me? I am sir Hawk! The rusty knight!"
"So...this pig is one of the seven deadly sins?" A knight questioned as the knight squad became dumbfounded.
"Well of course not!" Allioni said.
"How about a little respect? I'm the captain of the order of scrap disposal!" Hawk said.
"There is no such order!" Allioni said while Sora, Ryuko and Satsuki watched the scene while the mysterious girl was attempting to sneak out.
"Wow. I know you were droning on about pigs in human clothes before, Satsuki. But I never thought I'd see the day when that actually came true." Ryuko commented.
"Neither did I." Satsuki said as the knight squad took notice of Sora's group.
"Huh? Who the heck are you three?" Allioni questioned as he turned back to the bar owner. "They better not be customers, they're too young to be drinking alcohol."
"Oh, we're not here for that. We're, uh...Uh…" Sora stuttered as he tried to think of a good excuse.
"Their family of a good friend of mine. They needed jobs and this is their first day here." The bar owner answered, much to Sora's and the other's surprise.
"Uh, yeah. We just got here before you guys came barging in." Ryuko said as they went along with the made up story.
"Our uncle did us a favor." Satsuki went along with the story as well.
"Their also too young to be any of the seven deadly sins as well, Allioni." The long nosed knight said.
"Tch. I guess they are." Allioni agreed.
"If this pig is what you're after, you can grill him if you want." The bar owner offered.
"Give a rest, will ya?!" Hawk yelled as Allioni reached the end of his patience and grabbed the bar owner by his shirt.
"Why you, little punk! You got some nerve making fun of knights like this!" Allioni growled while the mysterious girl made out the back door, and made a run for the woods. Unfortunately, one of the knights caught sight of her.
(Music: Apprehension~2.5~)
"Allioni, look! A girl ran out the back!" The knight said as Allioni dropped the bar owner.
"What?! We have to inform sir Twigo! She must be the wandering rust knight! Get her!" Allioni ordered his squad as they began chasing after the girl.
"YES SIR!" The squad replied as they ran into the woods.
"Oh no! Come on, let's go!" Sora said to Ryuko and Satsuki as they made a run out the door.
"Patron us! Coming though!" Ryuko warned as the trio rushed past the bar owner and knocked down Hawk and made the armor he was wearing fall on top of the pig, while the bar owner was watching Sora's group run off after the knights with interest.
"Which way did they go?" Sora asked as he looked around for the girl and the knight squad.
"SEIZE HER!" Allioni's voice yelled out further into the woods.
"That way!" Satsuki said as the trio ran after the source of the knight's voice. Meanwhile, up ahead, the knight squad was closing in fast on the girl and Allioni was getting excited.
"A member of the seven deadly sins can't escape, I gotta capture her! If I manage that, then I'll be made into an apprentice holy knight!" Allioni said with excitement, which faded when the girl suddenly vanished in a blur. "What the?! Where did she go?!"
"Uh, Allioni?" The long nose knight spoke up as he pointed behind the squad as Hawk was quickly charging at them at high speed.
"You're not getting away!" Hawk yelled.
"AHHHHHHHHH!" The entire knight squad screamed with terror as Hawk began chasing them further into the woods, while the girl that vanished had suddenly ended up in the arms of the bar owner, atop a tree branch, alongside Sora's group.
(Music stops)
"Huh, guess they're not so tough." Sora commented as he watched Hawk chase the knights away.
"I don't how I could ever thank you for saving me, not once, but two.." The girl said as the bar owner was groping her chest again. "...Times?"
"You don't have to." The bar owner said as Ryuko punched him in the back of the head.
"Are you serious right now, you pervert?!" Ryuko yelled.
"Hey, how come you're so scared of those knights? Are they the reason you were hiding out in that armor?" Sora asked the girl.
"Well, yes. And also because what usually follows after them. I wore that armor not only to disguise myself, but for protection." The girl explained.
"From the knights?" Satsuki asked.
"Not just them, but the monsters that have been appearing lately." The girl answered as Sora, Ryuko and Satsuki exchanged looks, having a small idea of what monsters the girl was speaking of.
"Hey, take from us as people who are not from around here. What monsters are you talking about?" Sora asked.
"No one knows where they come from really. They usually appear out of nowhere. Mostly after the holy knights do." The girl said as dozens of yellow eyes suddenly glowed in the trees above the group, which only the bar owner noticed.
"You mean like those guys?" The bar owner asked as everyone looked up as creatures that resemble bats descended in front of the branch they were standing on.
(Music: Kingdom of Corona battle theme)
"Oh no!" The girl screamed in fear as she clung on the bar owner tightly.
"Heartless!" Sora said as the group of heartless, known as flutterings hovered in front of them.
"Oh great, they're here too?" Ryuko questioned as she and Satsuki were ready to fight.
"You know what these monsters are?" The girl asked and then turned her attention back to the heartless when a few of them began spinning like drills and charged as the girl closed her eyes, only to hear a slashing sound and opened her eyes again to see dark smoke where the heartless once were and looked down to see Sora on the forest floor with his keyblade, the kingdom key in hand while the heartless began floating around him.
"We can take these guys!" Sora said as he got into his battle stance while Ryuko joined in as she drew her weapon, the rending scissors and Satsuki drew her sword, bakuzan, which was still a double edged blade after being upgraded.
"Hey, perv! You might wanna take the girl a few steps back from this spot!" Ryuko advised the bar owner as she held her scissors ready.
"No problemo! Someone's gonna keep the damsel in distress safe." The bar owner said while the mysterious girl took a closer look at Sora and his keyblade.
"Could he? He must be the answer.." The girl said, just as the bar owner suddenly slung her over his shoulder, which was surprising considering his short stature. "Wait! Hold on! We can't just leave them alone!"
"Maybe, but I got a feeling these guys could handle it." The bar owner said as he began hoping from tree to tree with the girl to get away from the battle zone.
"Waaaaaiiiittt!" The girl yelled as she was carried away.
"Okay guys, we're clear!" Sora said after watching the bar owner and the girl get away from the battle.
"Just in time, here they come!" Ryuko warned as the flutterings began bombarding the trio with feather projectiles that were easily deflected by Sora with his keyblade while Ryuko jumped into the air to cut down some flutterings with her scissors and destroyed the minions of darkness as they turned into dark smoke. "So how come they're here in place too?" She asked as she swatted a fluttering away."
"Heartless go to different worlds all the time!" Sora answered as he blocked a fluttering's dive attack and countered with a smack from his keyblade.
"They go wherever darkness lurks." Satsuki stated as she dodged an attack from a heartless and pointed Bakuzan at it. "Freeze!" She commanded as she shot a chunk of ice that flew at a group of flutterings and came into contact with one and exploded into a sharp ice crystal that destroyed any heartless that were close proximity.
"My turn now!" Sora said as he was enveloped in a blue aura and dashed at a tree branch with airstep and began spinning around in a loop until he shot off it and charged into a few heartless.
"Here's something from me too!" Ryuko said as she tossed her scissor blade in a straight line that cut though a couple heartless and ended up lodged in a tree. "Yeah! On the mark!" She cheered and then was suddenly struck on the back of the head by a hard object. "Ow! The hell was that?!" Ryuko asked as she turned in the direction of what hit and saw powerwilds in the trees with coconuts in their hands and seemed to be giggling. "What are you laughing about, smartasses?"
"I got 'em!" Sora said as he dashed at the base of the tree and began spinning around it upwards and knocked the heartless down to the ground, allowing Sora to follow up with a spinning horizontal slash that destroyed the grounded foes. "How did you like that?" He said with a smirk, until many more flutterings and power wilds appeared.
"Sora, I think it's time you stop playing with them." Satsuki advised.
"Guess I should." Sora responded as he twirled his keyblade and released a small shockwave from his body as he transformed into second form and gained access to old powers. "Bring it on!" He gestured to the heartless as a few powerwilds attacked with sliding kicks that Sora managed to block and retailed with counter slash to knock the heartless into the and jumped after them to continue the combo with powerful swings of his keyblade. "Get out of here!" Sora said as he performed aerial finish and attacked with four fierce slashes in midair and destroyed the heartless.
"Sora, watch out!" Ryuko warned as the flutterings began unleashing a barrage of feather shots at Sora, which he was prepared for.
"Defend!" Sora called out as a reflectga barrier formed around him and the feathers bounced off it harmlessly and were launched into the trees surrounding Sora. "Come here!" He said as he covered himself in a magic orb and drew in the flutterings with magnet burst and unleashed a burst that destroyed that heartless he drew in. "And here's the finish!" Sora announced as he suddenly rushed forward at high speed with sonic blade and began attacking the group of powerwilds with rapid thrusts, destroying many heartless with each pass until one was left, which caused it to panic and tried to run away until Sora cut it down with one last thrust and turned back into his normal form.
(Music ends)
"That's the end of that." Sora said as he dismissed his keyblade.
"So how come the heartless are here too?" Ryuko asked as she pulled out her scissor blade from the tree she lodged it in and then shrunk to the size of a normal pair of scissors before putting it in her pocket.
"The heartless are made from the darkness in people's hearts. They're always gonna be in places where there's trouble, it's not just in Honnouji of course." Sora explained.
"I believe the girl we helped escape said they would appear after those holy knights do." Satsuki said as she dismissed bakuzan in a blue flash as Sora suddenly remembered the mysterious girl and the bar owner that escaped from the heartless.
"Oh yeah! Where did they go?" Sora asked as he looked around the woods.
"I think they might've gone that way." Ryuko said as she pointed down a path.
"Alright, we better go check." Sora said as Ryuko and Satsuki began following the keyblade wielder towards the edge of the forest, where they only found Hawk standing at the edge of a cliff. "Hawk! There you are."
"Well look who it is. While you were hiding like swines, I bravely fought off the holy knights and earned some extra scraps tonight!" Hawk said.
"Hey,we weren't hiding, there was some more trouble in the woods besides those knights, and who are you calling swines when you're one yourself!" Ryuko stated.
"I have no idea what you're saying...swines."
"Okay, before Ryuko decides to turn you into bacon, have you seen the others?" Sora asked.
"Up here!" A familiar voice announced as everyone turned to see the bar owner and the girl up on a tree branch and then descended back down to the ground and set the girl down. "And you're welcome to roasting Hawk, I might actually agree to the idea of bacon right now."
"Not funny!" Hawk shouted while the girl walked up to Sora.
"Thank you for saving us from those monsters, I'm sure you fought very bravely." The girl said.
"No problem, it's nothing I can't handle." Sora said as he put his hands behind his head while his statement made the girl think about him and the heartless.
"This might be a wild guess, but have you fought those monsters before?" The girl asked.
"Yeah, plenty of times, why?"
"Well, I guess I should explain." The girl said as she walked over to the edge of the cliff. "It mainly has to do with my quest."
"Oh yeah, why are you searching for the seven deadly sins?" The bar owner asked.
"I want to ask them, to help me stop the holy knights." The girl answered, much to the surprise of everyone else.
"Are you serious? Why in the world would wanna do that? The holy knights are the king's men. They're the knights that protect liones, real heroes!" Hawk exclaimed.
"But...What if they were behind a plot to start a war in our country?" The girl said, which made the pieces fall together to Sora for why the heartless were apparently following the holy knights around. "The other day, expect for the king himself, the entire royal family was arrested, and is being held by the holy knights."
"Does that mean the king isn't really sick in bed?" Hawk asked as the girl shook her head.
"So the king's men arrested his family? Why would they do that?" Sora asked.
"They accused the royal of a connection to the monsters that have been appearing in our land, claiming they were summoned by the seven deadly sins themselves. But I believe the accusations are just another cover story to keep them out of the way, I don't know what the holy knights hope to accomplish by starting a war." The girl explained.
"Okay, so might be happening and no one knows why. But does that have to do with the heartless?" Ryuko asked.
"Those monsters began appearing after the recruitment of men around the kingdom started, everywhere the holy knights went, those monsters followed." The girl explained the connection between the heartless and the holy knights. "But my father told me that the monsters can be defeated. He said that a warrior with a key to the stars will light the way and drive the darkness from our land."
"Huh? And you think that's me because of my keyblade?" Sora asked as he pointed at himself.
"It must be! The fact that we met and that you have the knowledge of these monsters, must mean you have to be the one I'm looking for!" Elizabeth stated as she held Sora's hands in a begging manner. "So I must ask you, to help me search for the seven deadly sins and save our kingdom!" She begged as Sora looked at the ground after hearing the plea.
"When you put that way…" Sora said as he considered joining the girl on her quest, it might even help him on his own.
"Hey, just checking here, you're trying to find the seven deadly sins, even though you know what kind of people they are?" The bar owner questioned as the girl let go of Sora's hands.
"The seven deadly sins...The most vile order of knights the kingdom ever produced, made of seven vicious bloodthirsty criminals, each one branded with the mark of a beast. Ten years, when they were suspected of trying to overthrow the kingdom, the knights of the realm launched a full force attack, scattering them to the four winds." The girl described the wanted knights.
"Well, if you believe the rumors, they each died a long time ago." The bar owner stated.
"Such amazing people couldn't possibly let themselves get killed!"
"But they are criminals, aren't they?"
"The holy knights are the ones causing the people to suffer right now!" The girl exclaimed while Sora, Ryuko and Satsuki were speaking among themselves.
"Should we help her? I mean, the heartless are here anyway, and she's asking for our help." Sora said.
"I kinda thought you would be on board already. You are the hero type." Ryuko stated.
"I believe you already decided to search for these knights for clues before that girl showed up anyway." Senketsu reminded the trio quietly so the bar owner and girl wouldn't hear the kamui.
"Senketsu is right. I think accompanying the girl is the best course right now." Satsuki said as the trio turned back to the bar owner and girl.
"Hey, I think we will be helping you find those sin guys. Don't want you to be all alone for it." Sora said as a happy smile came across the girl's face.
"Thank you very much! I'm so glad you can-" The girl was about to thank Sora, until the ground suddenly began rumbling and the side of the cliff began falling to pieces.
"Oh,give me a break!" Hawk yelled as he, the bar owner and the girl fell to the bottom of the cliff and disappeared in the rubble.
"Guys!" Sora yelled out as he ran to the edge to find the fallen people, only to see they had vanished.
"The hell just happened?! Cliffs don't just fall apart for no reason!" Ryuko stated while Satsuki was glaring at the edge of the woods.
"You can thank that man right there!" Satsuki said she pointed out a large man in red knight armor with a moustache on his face and a sword drawn, it was clear he was another holy knight and the one responsible for the cliff falling.
"Oopsie, I forgot to confirm whether or not they were the people named in the report." The knight said as he sheathed his sword. "Conclusion! Two individuals of unknown origin dead! What do you think, men? Does that sound about right?" He asked Allioni's fellow knights who had just arrived.
"But sir! Allioni is still under the cliff!" The long nosed knight stated.
"Well then, simply put three fatalities on the report." The head knight ordered, much to the other knight's surprise.
"You can't! Sir Twigo, that's too far, even for you!" The beard knight stated as the knight named Twigo glared threateningly at the knights.
"How about seven fatalities, instead?" Twigo threatened.
"HEY!" Sora's voice caught Twigo's attention as he turned to face Sora, Ryuko, and Satsuki with their weapons drawn and ready to fight. "You got a lot of nerve doing that! I thought knights were supposed to have honor, or at least some chivalry, or, whatever it is you're supposed to have!"
"Hmm? What are children doing here?" Twigo asked.
"They were in the tavern along with the owner, we assumed they work there." The long nosed knight explained.
"You there children! Lay down your weapons. Threatening a holy knight is a crime! If you leave now, I won't mention this in our report!" Twigo ordered the trio.
"Kiss our asses!" Ryuko shouted as Twigo became annoyed.
"Men, it may just be six fatalities instead!" Twigo said as he drew his sword.
"Aw, we only get to stomp on you?" Sora said as the trio got ready to fight the holy knight when suddenly, the bar owner with Hawk, the mysterious girl and even Allioni had jumped up to the top of the cliff behind Sora's group. "Hey, you're alright!"
"Look! It's Allioni!" The long nosed knight pointed out as the bar owner set down the unconscious knight, along with Hawk and the girl while Twigo was dumbfounded at their survival.
"You there! How dare you survive without my say so! I will not revise my death tally conclusion!" Twigo said.
"WHO ASKED YOU TO ANYWAY?!" Hawk shouted at the knight, a little upset after nearly getting crushed by rubble.
"Hey are you awake?" The bar owner asked the girl as she realized he had saved her from the falling cliff.
"O-oh, yes!" The girl answered.
"Okay, when I give the signal to you, run into the forest, got it?" The bar owner asked as the girl nodded.
"Tell me. Which one of them would you believe to be a member of the seven deadly sins? None of them bears any resemblance to the wanted posters." Twigo stated as he looked over Sora's group and the bar owner, until he caught sight of the mysterious girl and looked at her earring and the symbol engraved into it, and was shocked when he recognized it. "Ah-ha! Fate is smiling upon me today!"
"Get back you freak!" Ryuko said as Twigo stomped towards the group, but he only paid attention to the mysterious girl.
"The crest on that earring you're wearing is of the royal family, which means that you...conclusion! Are princess Elizabeth!" Twigo addressed the mysterious girl by name, revealing her identity.
"Princess?" Sora said with surprise as he turned to the apparently princess. "You're a princess?"
"Is that moustached douche kidding?! An actual princess?!" Ryuko said with surprise.
"I don't think he is." Satsuki said.
"Wait, are you really princess Elizabeth? You're the third princess in the royal family!" HAwk stated as Elizabeth began backing up in fear as Twigo came closer.
"A decree has been issued to determine your whereabouts. The order was to capture you alive and in healthy condition. But if you lost your life in an unfortunate accident…" Twigo said with hostile intent.
"Go! Now!" The bar owner signaled as Elizabeth and Hawk quickly ran into the forest.
"I mustn't afford to be captured! I mustn't give up yet!" Elizabeth said as she ran.
"Conclusion!" Twigo said as he charged his sword for a large attack that Sora took notice of.
"GET DOWN!" Sora shouted a warning in Elizabeth's direction.
"ACCIDENTAL DEATH!" Twigo shouted as he released a giant sword wave that uprooted every tree in the forest, leaving behind no sign that there ever was a forest in the first place. When Elizabeth opened her eyes, she found the bar owner over her after he pushed her out of the way of Twigo's attack.
"Hi there! You alright, Hawk? You seem alright." The bar owner said, despite the fact a small tree branch had lodged itself into the pig.
"Seriously?! I'm shaved pork on a skewer! MOM!Oh,Mommy!" Hawk cried out as he ran away from the scene.
"A pig? No matter!" Twigo said as he dismissed Hawk running away while Sora and the others were relieved that no one(Mostly no one) was hurt.
"Whew! That was close." Sora sighed.
"Wasn't that prev just right next to us?" Ryuko questioned how the bar owner was suddenly able to save Elizabeth from the holy knight's attack.
"I'm beginning to think that tarven owner is much more than he says he is." Satsuki stated.
"Well I wanna take that bully down a peg! Come on!" Sora said, only for multiple soldier heartless to appear around the group to stand in their way. "Oh, come on already!" He complained while Elizabeth began to believe her situation was hopeless.
"Elizabeth?" The bar owner questioned as the princess stood up and began walking towards Twigo. "Hey, what are you doing?"
"There's no escape.." Elizabeth said.
"Wait, hang on. You just said you couldn't afford to be captured or give up."
"Maybe if I surrender myself peacefully, he'll agree to take me back with him and your life will be spared." Elizabeth hoped, only for Twigo to respond by raising his sword and launching another sword wave as the bar owner rushed over to push the princess out of the attack's way as it ripped off the owner's left sleeve. "Please! Try to get away while you still can!"
"I think he wants to make sure none of us get out alive." The bar owner said as Elizabeth started crying.
"Why..I was so happy when I met you, Sora and his friends. I set out searching for the seven deadly sins all alone. It was hard, traveling all by myself, and I felt so scared! Walking around in that rusty armor, hoping no one would recognize me, there wasn't anyone I could turn to for help!" Elizabeth cried while Twigo walked close to her and the bar owner to finish them while Sora's group was busy with the heartless.
"Oh no! They're in trouble!" Sora said as he saw Twigo getting closer while blocking a soldier's claw and countering it.
"We kinda got our own problems right now!" Ryuko reminded him as she cut down a heartless.
"You've shown so much kindness to me, someone you never met before. I don't wanna see you hurt, that's why I don't want you involved with my problems anymore, not when I know your name!" Elizabeth said as the bar owner flashed back to a memory in his past where a girl with pink hair was dying in front of him.
"Meliodas. If you really wanna know." The bar owner gave his name with a smile as Elizabeth stopped crying when she realized the bar owner's name was the same as that of the captain of the seven deadly sins.
(Music: The seven deadly sins~The perfect time~)
"I don't believe it…" Elizabeth said in disbelief until her eyes drifted to the bar owner's exposed shoulder where there was a tattoo of a dragon biting its tail, removing all doubt in the princess' mind that the young boy in front of her, was indeed Meliodas of the seven deadly sins. "You can't be!"
"Hee hee!" Meliodas giggled.
"How can you...You're just.." Elizabeth stuttered while the knights watching over Allioni were surprised when their leader suddenly awoke.
"Where did he go?!" Allioni asked.
"Allioni?" The long nosed knight questioned his leader's sudden fear.
"That boy with the sword on his back!"
"Take it easy, alright? Sir Twigo is about to take care of him."
"You idiots! We mustn't dare anger him! The whole kingdom could fall!" Allioni exclaimed as his fellow knights only looked at him confused. "When he saved me from the cliff, that's when I saw it! He's the real thing, the most dangerous one of them all! The symbol is right there on his shoulder! It's right there!" He exclaimed while Twigo was getting closer to Meliodas and Elizabeth while Sora's group still fought off the heartless and noticed the holy knight getting closer.
"Oh no! He's getting too close!" Sora exclaimed as he was about to make a break past the heartless, only for Satsuki to put a hand in front of the keyblade wielder.
"Sora, wait!" Satsuki said. "I think they'll be fine."
"Huh?" Sora questioned while Twigo brought down his sword and created a powerful blast, leading him to believe he had killed Meliodas and Elizabeth, only to notice a scratch on his cheek and was blown back by an unseen force that seemed to come from Meliodas since he had his broken sword drawn.
"How is this possible?! My technique was flawless, I'm certain my blade struck him! But the one who felt the force of the blow..how could it possibly be me?!" Twigo questioned as he noticed Meliodas' weapon, which confused him further. "And what is that in your hand? A broken blade?!"
"Meliodas? Is that actually who you are? Really?" Elizabeth asked.
"Wait, that little pervy shrimp is the guy everyone is so scared of?!" Ryuko questioned.
"I thought there was something off about him when he saved the other's from the cliff." Satsuki said.
"Then I guess he can handle this on his own." Sora said while Twigo was starting to put together the pieces.
"Wait a minute, now your face is starting to look familiar. But, if that's who you truly are, how can you look the same as you did?!" Twigo questioned which Meliodas only responded with a battle stance.
"Alright, times up! Figure it out yet?" Meliodas asked with a smile, much to Twigo's anger.
"No! It can't be! And yet, you still dare to exist!" Twigo yelled as he raised his sword above himself and brought it down in an attempt to smash the former captain, only to miss when Meliodas stepped to side to avoid the attack and respond with a small swing of his broken sword that made a ringing sound, while Twigo sensed an attack coming when an unseen force began building up in power. "C-Conclusion! This incomprehensible, extraordinary power is that of the legend!" He yelled as a powerful explosion formed that not only sent Twigo sky high and broke his armor, but also destroyed any heartless left in the forest from the force.
"The seven deadly sins: The sin of wrath. The dragon sin-Meliodas!" The former captain announced his identity as the most feared member of the seven deadly sins, much to Sora's, Ryuko's and even Satsuki's awe.
(Music ends)
"Whoa...he really is strong like everyone says." Sora said.
"Still a perv though…" Ryuko commented.
"Yeah, that's definitely true. But other than that, he doesn't seem to be a bad guy. Maybe everyone was wrong about these sins guys." Sora commented as Meliodas sheathed his sword and turned to Elizabeth.
"Well, Elizabeth. Guess this means you found your first sins, Doesn't it?" Meliodas asked as the princess nodded in agreement. "So listen, as far as the six others go, I got some business to discuss, I started looking for them myself. I've been using the tavern as a way to gather information. But, if I had a pretty girl to pull in a larger crowd, I bet we see a lot more info heading our way."
"Of course that's what he's offering." Ryuko said with annoyance.
"It may be crude, but it's actually an excellent plan of his." Satsuki stated as Meliodas turned to Sora's group.
"Oh yeah, that reminds me. You three are looking for some people too, right? I was gonna ask you to come along earlier to help you out. It's possible your friends already met with the other sins." Meliodas suggested.
"Wait, you want us to come with you?" Sora asked as Meliodas nodded.
"Yep. You already agreed to Elizabeth out anyway, but you work in the bar too. So…" Meliodas said as he extended his hand towards the keyblade wielder. "Deal?" He asked as Sora smiled in response.
(Music:The seven deadly sins~7tsuno:the1~)
"You got it!" Sora exclaimed as he took Meliodas' hand and formed a strong handshake like he would with Hercules. "So, how are you going to find the other sins? You got a ride or something?"
"You could say that. *Whistle!*" Meliodas answered by making a loud whistle noise as a strange noise could be heard from above as Sora's group looked up to see a large creature crash down on the ground near them, which was revealed to be a giant lime colored pig with the boar hat tavern on its head.
"Holy crap! What is that?!" Ryuko questioned as a rope ladder was thrown down below with Hawk on top of the giant pig.
"Perfect timing, isn't it, guys?" Hawk shouted from above as Meliodas grabbed on to the ladder.
"Hey, Hawk's mom! Way to go!" Meliodas said as he held onto Elizabeth.
"Wait, Mom?! Why the hell is he a normal sized pig, and his mom is the size of a building?!" Ryuko questioned.
"I have no idea!" Hawk responded.
"Alright then, Let's head out to the next town guys!" Meliodas announced as he hauled Elizabeth up to the top of the giant pig.
"So, Sora. Do you still want me and Ryuko to go home? Or have you changed your mind and want us to come along?" Satsuki asked.
"I guess it's too late anyway. Just promise me you'll help me out with an excuse to get out of Donald's lectures." Sora said as the scene switched a chibi Sora tied a chair with his eyes clamped opened as a chibi Donald Duck grinned evilly as the chibi Sora was forced to watch a very, very boring presentation film on the world order while a chibi Goofy was eating popcorn.
"TURN IT OFF! TURN IT OFF!" Chibi Sora begged for mercy for chibi Donald to turn off the flim and the scene switched back to normal Sora.
"Well, come let's go!" Sora said as the trio began walking towards the rope ladder, only to stop when an object crashed behind them, which was revealed to a battered and beaten, but angry Twigo as he rose off the ground.
"Oh, come on! This guy again?" Ryuko said.
"Hahahaha! You can't beat a holy knight so easily! And now that you've become allies with one of the seven deadly sins, you'll be hunted down to the edges of Britannia! But not before you face..SIR TWI-Oof!" Twigo grunted as he was hit in the head by a rock, and easily knocked out. But the rock didn't come from Sora, or even Ryuko, but actually Satsuki as the two former looked at her in surprise.
"Even I get tired of speeches myself." Satsuki stated.
"Okay, well let's get going for real now!" Sora said as he jumped up and ran up the side of Hawk's mom while Ryuko and Satsuki climbed the rope ladder to join Meliodas, Elizabeth and Hawk while the giant pig began trotting along the countryside, leaving behind the awestruck holy knights that were still conscious.
"W-we're...gonna need a lot more knights…" Allioni stated as he watched Hawk's mom stomp off into the horizon. Meanwhile, on top of the giant pig, Sora couldn't help but look at the passing sights as Hawk's mom was on the move.
"Wow! This is amazing!" Sora said while Elizabeth walked up behind the keyblade wielder.
"Excuse me, Sora?" Elizabeth spoke up to get his attention. "I just wanted to thank you again for agreeing to help me on my quest. It's so relieving to have you helping."
"Hehe. No problem, I help people all the time, Elizabeth. Oh! I mean, your majesty!" Sora said with a bow.
"Oh, I'm sorry! You don't need to address me as the princess. Just Elizabeth is fine." She said as Sora stopped bowing and gave a sheepish smile.
"Sorry, force of habit." Sora apologized as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Oh geez, you're a hopeless case." Ryuko stated as Sora looked at her confused and then both smiled.
"Hahahahahahaha!" Sora, Ryuko, Meliodas and Elizabeth laughed while Satsuki smiled at the scene, while Hawk was confused.
"Uh..what are we laughing about again?" The talking pig asked while Elizabeth looked out towards the horizon.
"Was our meeting the work of chance? Or Providence? What awaited us? Despair or hope? That is how the adventure began for Sir Meliodas, Sora and me, as we started our search for the seven deadly sins, and one of the guardians of light so Sora could find the one most important to him." Elizabeth's voice narrated. Meanwhile, far in the distance, a lone figure was watching the giant pig walk across the countryside, a tall dark figure, covered in an aura of darkness, concealing most of its features, except for a pair of horns on its head and it's weapon. A keyblade known as the chaos ripper. As the figure watched hawk's mom in the distance, a corridor of darkness opened up behind it as a new face walked out. Sora's dark double and the figure's master, Vanitas.
(Music stops)
"Huh, you actually managed to find him real quick. I'm impressed." Vanitas said as the figure remained silent for a moment.
"...Yes…" The figure responded as Vanitas smiled evilly.
"You know what to do, right?"
"Yes…" The figure said as it gripped its weapon tightly. "Destroy the usurper!"
(Meanwhile, above Britanna's orbit)
Above the world of the Britanna, large asteroids were floating in the void of space passing the planet, only for the space rocks to be blown to pieces by crimson lasers. The source of the lasers came from a floating colossal object that was shaped like a head with two rings around it, in reality, the giant head was actually a space station and inside the station's main bridge watching Britanna get closer was it's master, The robotic evil mastermind, .
"Ahh, our first destination! It's quite a lovely sight. LAWRENCE!" Nefarious shouted.
"Right here, sir." Nefarious' butler, Lawrence announced from behind the evil genius.
"Lawrence! Prepare a ship! I will personally search the planet's surface for the secret Maleficent is looking for, and make sure we can't be detected!" Nefarious ordered.
"That won't be hard at all sir, this world has no technology whatsoever. It seems to be in a medieval era." Lawrence responded.
"Ooh! I love myself a renaissance theme! Did you know I put together all the Shakespeare plays back in high school? Of course I got beaten up after every play."
"Sir, the time period of this world might be a problem. Maleficent found data from the age of fairy tales. If this world has no technology, we might not recover it here." Lawrence advised.
"Don't worry about that, Lawrence. There's more than one way to keep secrets. Hopefully, we can find a relic on the planet's surface, or maybe someone we could force the information out of! Mwhahahahaha!" Nefarious laughed wickedly until his shoulder was tapped by a nervous looking robot with an oval shaped head.
" , your twelve o'clock massage is ready." The robot trooper reported.
"It's about time! I'm not going down to a backwater planet and getting my gears rusted! I need to be prepared! Lawrence, prepare the ship and some troops while I'm getting pampered!" Nefarious ordered as he walked out of the control room.
"Of course, sir. Wouldn't want you rust because someone threw a bucket of water at you, although I'm pretty sure that would be quite the sight to see." Lawrence commented.
