Chapter 2 X First Battle


"I can't." King told himself as he wondered through the Fairy King's Forest. The face of his deceased sister flashed in his mind. "I don't have the courage to look at Elaine's face the way I am now."

Suddenly a stone flew at his face, halting him in his steps. He looked to his side to see the other fairies look at him with resentment and betrayal.

"Get out of the forest!" One of them yelled.

"Ban-sama may have forgiven you, but we won't!" Another one shouted.

"Traitor! It's your fault that so many fairies and animals died!" Another rock got thrown. More and more branches and stones flew at King, who looked down at his feet, taking every hit.

"WOOF!"

A loud bark rang though the area, scaring the fairies off. King looked up to his loyal dog stand protectively over him. "Yamete, Oslo!" King called him back. Oslo became smaller, standing before his master. King gave a small smile. "Arigatou, but they're not wrong."

Together they walked a bit further, until they decided to sit on the edge of the forest that overlooked the trees. "It's just like they said. I abandoned this forest and my sister all in order to save my best friend and the others. But it the end, I couldn't save anyone. And on top of that, I killed my best friend with my own hands."

King buried his head between his legs; he was so ashamed of what he had done that he could not stop the tears of guilt. He placed the helmet he inherited from Helbram on his head.

"Tell me. Who… Who am I now?"

"You are you."

King looked around in confused, to his biggest surprise he could see Helbram floating in front of him. As if he were alive. "The same old crybaby."

"H-Helbram?! B-But you're dead…" King stuttered out. He removed the helmet with a gasp, thinking that his mind was playing a trick on him, as he looked around. But Helbram was nowhere to be found. "Huh? Was that a hallucination?"

"No, it wasn't. I reside as a soul inside this helmet. You can only see me when looking though the helmet."

King listened to the voice and placed it back on his head, seeing that Helbram stood in front of him. "B-But… how?" He questioned. "I couldn't just leave my best friend like that. You start crying over the smallest things, get depressed, mopey and even lazy." Helbram smiled a bit as the tears drip down the face of King. "You're also a pipsqueak."

"That last one was just you being mean." King said while whipping away his tears with a small smile. Helbram chuckled. "Your sister asked me to do her a favor and stay by your side for a bit longer." His eyes quickly glanced to an approaching figure. "Also, I have a message from her for you: "Protect Ban."."

"Mattaku, Elaine, why do I have to protect a savage like-"

"Oi, King! Who're you calling a savage?"

"King-sama? What were you doing?"

"N-Nothing!" King quickly replied as he removed the helmet and flew to them while Oslo went back.

"I'm going to leave the forest as soon as I'm done with my thing. I'm heading out to look for a way to revive Elaine. The kid is going with me." Ban said as he nudged his head to Elizabeth who was looking at some flowers.

"I'm coming with you!" Jericho exclaimed. The two looked at her with question. "S-Someone has got to protect the princess!" She quickly blabbered out as she looked away. "You've got nothing to do with this." Ban glared at her.

"I do!" She retorted. "You saved my life." Ban glanced away. "I don't care." King decided to ignore the young knight and turned back to Ban. "Why don't we talk to Merlin about Elaine? And I'm sure the captain and the others would help!" He proposed.

"I don't intend to go back to the Seven Deadly Sins." Ban started walking and glanced over at Elizabeth who happened to look their way, he motioned for her to follow him. "If you have time to meddle in other people's business, go back to Boar's Hat."

"There's someone who loves you and is waiting for you to go back alive. "If King isn't with me, I'd die of loneliness." Is what she said." King caught up to him. "Don't think I'm gonna fall for the same-"

"It's true." Ban said as he recalled the memory. He smirked as he turned to his partner. "Go back to her."


"He really said that?!" Diane looked shocked at Kagome as they walked through the town, with Diane in human form. The raven-haired giggled as she nodded. "Hai." Her eyes went up to the sky as a pink dust covered her cheeks, ever so slightly. "It was the first time I truly saw that side of him, like he really didn't want to lose me. With Hendrickson, I think he somehow knew that he would be able to save me, but this time… he looked so worried…"

"Isn't that a good thing?! You two really got closer after that!" Diane leaned forward as she faced her friend and smiled brightly. Kagome looked at her with a small smile, however it faltered as her eyes went to the ground. "It's actually what scared me… he looked so afraid. It makes me wonder whom it is that we're dealing with."

Diane smiled as she placed a hand on Kagome's shoulder. "Have more faith in yourself and Captain, I'm sure through any danger he will save you. Any of the Sins would save you!" She said confidently. "And otherwise you'll show them who's boss!"

Kagome laughed at the enthusiasm of the small giant. "But I do envy you." Diane said softly as her eyes wandered to the empty street in front of them. "You two are aware of each other's feelings. King has yet to know of mine… Who knows when he'll come back…" She strayed off.

It was Kagome's turn to comfort Diane, and she did. She held Diane's hand and walked closer. "I'm sure that King would do anything to stay by your side. Trust him, he'll be there for you."

The two girls stared at each other, both having their understanding and experience in love what had always been such a mystery. "Oh, Zeal!" Diane noticed the small boy walking aimlessly at them.

"There's something odd about his aura…" Kagome whispered to herself as she caught up to Diane who had already made her way to the boy. "What's up, Zeal?" Diane smiled as she greeted the boy.

Zeal looked at her with confusion. "Who is that?" He suddenly asked, making to two girls gasp. "I don't know…" Zeal grabbed his head in frustration and pain, as if something was screaming from inside. "I don't know who I am!" He started crying.

Kagome's eyes narrowed as she placed her hand around his head. She looked shocked at him. "This is…" Diane leaned in. "Eh, nani, nani? What's wrong with him?"

Kagome turned at her. "Diane, you bring Zeal to his sister." She stood up and handed the child to Diane, who looked with questions at her. "I'm going to Merlin, and pray to Kami that Gowther is there with her." She started running towards Merlin's little shed.


-Meanwhile-

"Gowther, take this." Merlin watched Gowther put a little, purple block in his mouth. "Good." The wizard nodded. "Make sure to take on every day. I'll hurry up with your armor." She said as she handed over a bottle with more of his medicine.

"Understood." With that Gowther walked out of the small building, he halted for a moment and spat out the block he just had "eaten" and threw the bottle with it at the ground.

"Yo, Gowther." The pink haired boy turned around to see Meliodas. "We're heading out tomorrow or the day after. Make sure you're ready." He said.

"Is that an order?" Gowther question. "It's not really an order." Meliodas said with a slight confused tone. "Then I refuse." Gowther turned around and kept walking, leaving his captain behind.

"Sorry I kept you waiting." Gowther said as he unexpectedly met up with Guila. "It's okay." She said with a light blush and the pair continued walking.

"That's an odd pair." Meliodas thought to himself. "Oh, this stuff is good." He heard Hawk said and looked to the side. The little pig was eating something off the ground, but Meliodas couldn't quite see what it was. "What are you eating there, Hawk?"

"I'm nawt eazting aniting!"

Meliodas ignored him and went inside the building. "Yo." He said as he saw Merlin. "I thought you'd come by soon, Captain." The woman said with a mysterious grin as she turned around, stopping with what she was doing.

"Merlin, I'm here to take back what you took from me, when we were exiled from the kingdom ten years ago." Meliodas said in a serious manner, his eyes narrowed as he watched Merlin like a hawk.

"This is related to the giant shock wave the other day, isn't it?" She asked. "That was a sign that the seal on the Demon Clan is opening." He answered, Merlin sighed. "So Hendrickson was still alive, after all. This poses a problem for Kagome as well, doesn't it?"

Meliodas shook his head. "He's not the real problem. The problem is that those who came from the seal are the worst bunch. It's the Ten Commandments."

Upon hearing the name, objects started floating in the air as a wave of power went through the room. "Gomen, it seems like my emotions got the best of me. I didn't expect the Demon King's elite guards." She calmed down, letting the objects go back to their place and her power concealed again.

"Now then, Captain, let's get to the matter at hand."


"Guila!" Diane shouted as she saw her. She noticed that Gowther was with her but paid him no mind. "Zeal is acting weirdly! Kagome said I should bring him to you." She placed the boy in front of his sister while he kept crying.

"Who is that?" Guila asked with the tilt of her head. "What are you talking about?" Diane returned the question surprised. "Your otouto is in trouble! This is your brother Zeal, isn't it?"

Guila shook her head. "Iie, this is the only other member of my family." She said as she pointed at Gowther besides her. Diane glared at the Goat Sin of Lust. "Gowther, don't tell me you…" She felt her anger rise. "No wonder Kagome told me to stop you."

"Did you manipulate their memories?" Diane asked him, her voice filled with anger. "This was a necessary action in order to complete the process. In order to build my relationship with Guila, I needed her brother removed from the picture." Gowther confessed.

"I want a heart. A heart that understands feelings." His eyes looked away. "I tried learning friendship with the Captain and Ban, but in the midst of the big fight, I discovered an emotion that surpasses that. And that is love."

"I assessed that I should love rather than friendship. And she was conveniently there." Diane's anger slowly made its way to the surface as she interrupted him. "So you pretended to help Guila, who was turning into a demon!"

"I did indeed save her." Gowther corrected her with his unchanging face. "What caused the upheaval of the demon blood in her was her feelings of inferiority, and her anger towards her weakness." He lifted Guila's chin up and turned it towards him. "After I removed her memories of those, I replaced them with memories of being raised happily as my betrothed and disciple, and of her becoming a Holy Knight on her own merit. It took time, but the treatment worked perfectly."

"Even if that was the situation, it's still no excuse to manipulate a person's memories!" Diane shouted. "The memories of the previous Guila were filled with suffering. Are you saying that despite that she'd be happier with her real memories?" Gowther questioned.

"Of course!" Diane immediately answered. "No matter how painful they may be, the memories of the time Guila and Zeal spent together are irreplaceable!"


"Get ahold of yourself! This is what happens when you eat everything you find on the ground!" Meliodas was hitting Hawk on his back, trying to wake him up.

"What did he eat?" Merlin asked as she watched the scene with interest. "Something rom a small bottle that was on the ground." The blonde answered, she sighed. "That was probably the magic stabilizing medicine I gave Gowther. This is going to be trouble, Captain."

"Merlin!" They looked at the door and saw Kagome catching her breath. "Has Gowther been here?" She asked them. "Did something happen, Kagome?" Meliodas asked. Kagome nodded and walked closer to them. "Zeal's memories are gone. I think Gowther has something to do with it, but I had to make sure."

Merlin and she made eye contact. "So I was right." Kagome said and her friend nodded. "We need to stop him."


"I don't understand that." Gowther replied. "They're unnecessary for the love between Guila and I." Diane gritted her teeth. "We can't get anywhere like this." She began attacking Gowther after she placed Zeal to the side.

People started to gather around watching the two knights fight. "Sacred Treasure, Twin Bow Herrit: Blackout!" Gowther summoned his weapon and spread out his magic over Liones. People fell to the ground, unconscious.

"What did you do to them?!" Diane questioned as she looked around. "I rendered all living things unconscious within a three mile radius of me, whose spirit level is under 400." Gowther explained. "Memories are nothing but data. They're easy to create or erase. What I want to understand is what's beyond that. The feeling."

"I'd also forgotten my precious memories of my time with King for some reason." Diane began. "And I can't forgive myself for it. But I got them back! It was surely because they were engraved deeply in my heart. Nobody can erase the precious memories!"

"I don't understand."


Kagome looked around, seeing the unconscious people, as she, Merlin and Meliodas quickly made their way to they action. "Gowther must've knocked everybody out in the kingdom with his magic." Merlin noted.

Kagome nodded and they quickly arrived at the scene. They saw the two golems of Diane attack Gowther who had blocked it with his Sacred Treasure.

"Knock it off and wake up already!" They heard Diane say as she flew into the sky, punching Gowther to the ground. A big flash happened, as they got closer to the pair. "Diane, are you alright?!" Kagome asked as she kneeled by the girl.

"Ah, Kagome-chan you came back…!" Diane smiled while she spoke the words tiredly. Kagome smiled as she began healing the girl of her physical wounds.

Merlin and Meliodas walked over to Gowther who was sitting to the side with his head low. "Gowther, do you realize what you've done?" Meliodas questioned. "Lock me away to where no one can find me." The Lust Sin stated. "…Before I lose myself."

"Merlin," Meliodas started without looking at her. "We'll continue our conversation later." She nodded


"I gotta be frank with you, I don't get it." Derieri confessed. The Ten Commandments had found themselves a place to call theirs near a small village… or at least what was left of it.

"It's shocking enough to see a castle standing on this hill where there was nothing 3000 years ago. But even more, it doesn't make sense to see its land in such a sorry state." Monspeet said as he looked with little interest at the gigantic grater that existed there.

"Looks like there was a radical magic explosion from the heart of the castle, of some rather considerable strength too." Melascula said as she decided to take a peek at the seemingly bottomless pit. "Deep… similar… 30000 feet… lingering magic…" Fraudrin spoke slowly, informing the others.

"No mistaking it, this is Meliodas' work." Zeldris stated with a strict look. "What on earth was he doing at this place?" Melascula looked at him. "What's the big deal, Zeldris? Let's first take our time and grow our feathers. It's been so long since we've bee in the outside world."

Zeldris ignored the woman as turned to the laid-back looking guy who was leaning on their newly created base. "Estarossa, what do you think?" Zeldris eyes narrowed as he got ignored. "Aniki!"

The said man opened one eye lazily, but no words came out of his mouth, instead a small smirk was made.


Gowther returned Guila's memories, who in turn was obvious angry at his deed, but did forgive him. She left them together with Zeal.

"What's with all the commotion?"

Another voice had joined them from behind. "Ah, it's Slader from the Dawn Roar." Kagome recalled. "Perfect timing." Merlin said with a grin as she walked up to him. "There's a favor I have to ask of you."

"He only takes order from the King, you know." Meliodas commented, but Merlin paid him no heed, seeing that Slader kneeled immediately. "Your wish is my command."

"You, Slader…" Meliodas whispered with suspicious in his ear. "Does Merlin have some kind of dirt on you or what?" Slader slightly turned his head to the blonde. "Don't be silly. She rescued the King with her magic while nobody else could. It gave me goose bumps."

He then stood up and inched closer to Merlin. "Please… let me call you Onee-sama."

"Call me what you like." Merlin answered immediately without even batting an eye, making Kagome sweat-drop and giggle a bit.

"Now then, Onee-sama." Slader went back on his knee. "What was it that you wanted of me?" The woman motioned for Gowther to come closer and he did. "Absolute Cancel." She said as she stretched out her hand to him letting it glow with her magic.

Gowther suddenly shrunk and disappeared within his clothes. "Gowther's magic is absurdly powerful, I can only return him to his original form temporarily." She explained. Kagome came over to take a look and saw that his body was oddly constructed. "He's… a doll? I never noticed…"

Merlin nodded and turned back to Slader. "Gowther was created by a great sorcerer in the past. I hope that you can watch after him while we are carrying out our master's mission." She handed Gowther over to Slader.

They all return to Boar's Hat to rest. "Ne, Captain… did you know about Gowther?" Diane asked. He shook his head. "No, I didn't." Diane looked at the ground, guilt was in her heart as she remembered Gowther's wish. "I want a heart."

"I had no idea. I just denied him from the very start. Gowther must have really meant it." Meliodas smiled brightly at the words of the little giant. "Don't worry about it, Diane. Gowther will be fine."

Diane giggled a little at his reply. "You're amazing, Captain. You are not ruffled in the slightest." The man sighed in response shrugging up his shoulders. "Well, I've seen all kinds of characters in my life… and no matter what Gowther is, that doesn't change anything about the Nanatsu no Taizai. He's our precious ally."

"You are such a lucky fellow, Gowther." Slader sighed as he looked at the doll. No one noticed the quick change in Diane's eyes as it was gone the following second.

"Hey Slader!" Meliodas called the attention to him. "Care to join us a bit? Two of our members are missing and I'd really appreciate having you on board." He proposed.

Slader nodded his head. "Sure… his highness told me to give aid to the Nanatsu no Taizai whenever I can." He answered. Suddenly a sound went off coming from Merlin who had been analyzing a glowing orb.

"Change of plans." She said as she stood up. We'll head to the capital of Camelot immediately. I've confirmed an abnormal magic activity coming from there."

Kagome looked at her with her eyes wide. "Matte, Merlin… don't tell me we're gonna-"

Merlin cut off her best friend with a smirk. "Yes, we are."

Within a blink of an eye they disappeared and then reappeared in the sky. Flying over a city, but it wasn't the beautiful sky that caught their attention, but instead the giant monster that was hovering over them.

"What's with that colossus?! It's as big as a mountain!" Hawk shouted when they all went outside to see the problem. "He's even bigger than you, Okaa-san!" He yelled to his mother.

"I never saw guys like this among the giant clan!" Diane said, her eyes wondering over the monster that appeared to be white and covered with moss. Dark red eyes terrified the citizens.

"I've detected multiple magical reactions coming from it. But no sign of a life force. It may be a Golem." Merlin explained as she skillfully lead them through the sky. "Yeah, it's Albion." Meliodas nodded as he watched the monster eyeing the city. "It's a weapon that was created by the Demon Clan during the old Great War."

His eyes narrowed, in anger. "It probably awoken along with the resurrection of the Ten Commandments. I'll explain later." He said to the confusing looks of Diane and Hawk.

"A-Are you for real?" Hawk stuttered as he looked at the stats of the monster. "Meliodas' combat class is 3370… even Merlin's combat class is 4710! But this monster… has a combat class of 5500?!"

The Golem opened its mouth and shouted at the giant pig. Huge waves of air passed them as well as the people in Camelot with Arthur leading them on top of the wall that surrounded his kingdom.

It lifted its arm and struck down upon the city, however it got stopped mid-air by a purple barrier. "It's Merlin's magic!" Arthur smiled brightly with hope as he watched the green pig evade the attack.

"Good thing that I shielded Camelot with a magical defense wall ahead of time." Merlin said, watching proudly at her work. "I'm impressed Merlin. I honestly didn't think you would be able to control a barrier on such a large scale." Kagome complimented as she watched the barrier spark with interest.

"But having to cover such a large area… it can probably only take one or two more strikes." Merlin replied, and just as the words left her lips the Golem stroke two times and the barrier fell apart. "And now it's gone." She commented dryly.

"Oi! Merlin!" Kagome shouted at her while she just looked away with an uncaring shrug.

"Air strike force one! Fire! Don't let him touch a single hair in Camelot!" They could hear Arthur order his knight. Watching the two forces collapse. "Sir, we can't handle a second strike!" one of the knights announced.

The Golem was about to charge up for another attack.

"Merlin! Faster!" Meliodas ordered. Merlin snapped her fingers and her captain disappear just when Albion attack. Suddenly a soft bell-like sound was heard, and then the attack backfired.

"Yo! How've you been, Arthur?" A voice suddenly said behind the King. The young man's face lit up with relieve as he turner around. "Meliodas-dono!"

The Dragon's sin grinned before turning to the still flying pig. "The timing was perfect, Merlin!" Meliodas sent a thumps-up her way, to which she smirked.

"Hear the call of your master, Devona!" Kagome shouted, and her hands got indulged in light until a bow appeared in her hand. She drew back the string, as an arrow appeared made out of pink magic.

Merlin turned to look at her friend, before she had a chance to fire. "Kagome, would you mind placing a temporary barrier? Yours are stronger in situations like this." Kagome nodded in understanding and slowly released the tension of her bow and placed it on her back before she spread out her arms.

The people of Camelot could see a light pink wave wash over them, protecting them from any harm. "I'm leaving the rest to you, Meliodas!" Kagome shouted as she was locked in her stand with the task to protect Camelot from any harm.

"Ah!" Meliodas smirked as he jumped on the arm of Albion who had attacked upon Kagome's barrier, the other knights following him. "Albion's weak spot is the core hidden in his chest! We need to scale him and crush it in one blow!"

They released a battle cry as they tried to climb the arm up, however they Golem noticed them and his terrifying red eyes followed them like a hawk until he decided to act. His free arm slammed down upon the group of knights, grabbing Arthur in the progress.

"Arthur!" Meliodas exclaimed as he came to his rescue. Albion cried out in pain and released the King Knight, letting Meliodas to catch him. Meliodas was falling with Arthur in his arms, because of the force.

The blonde stabbed his sword in the skin hoping to slow down their fall. They finally came to a stop, the remaining knights held Arthur steady. "Thank you very much, Meliodas-dono!" Arthur said gratefully as he looked up, his eyes widen at the state the sword of the man was in. "Meliodas-dono! Your sword!" he exclaimed.

Meliodas eyes also went to his weapon. "Sumimasen, because of me your precious sword is damaged…" Arthur immediately apologized. Meliodas just smiled while he kept on looking at the sword. "Don't worry about it. It got pretty much beat up from the battle against Hendrickson."

Flashes of a pink haired Elizabeth when through his head, followed by Kagome's face. 'You've done a great job carrying on this long. Arigatou.'

"B-But without a weapon…" Arthur stammered in shame as he nervously looked around. "Well, well, what do we do we do know?" Meliodas pondered.

A shadow casted over them, they looked up just in time to see the Golem's arm crash down upon them. "Captain!" Merlin raised her voice in order to get the attention. "We'll discuss about returning "that" to you later. In the meantime, I'll give this back to you."

She snapped her finger with a smirk; and an object got thrown towards Meliodas who had caught it with ease. In his hand was now the sacred treasure: Lostvayne, his sword.

"After you sold it to a pawnshop in Camelot 10 years ago, I bought it back." Merlin explained. "The interest on that is high, you know?" Diane looked in awe at the weapon in her captain's hand. "Captain's sacred treasure… you had it with you, Merlin?!"

"That came as a surprise…" Kagome muttered as she eyes her friend with a raised brow. Merlin narrowed her eyes but did not turn to the priestess. "It sure wasn't cheap." She said.

"Invoking sacred treasure!" They could hear Meliodas chant as a sudden pulse radiated through his surroundings. Arthur, who was back at his city wall, stared confused at the battle. "That's strange… For a second, I thought I saw Meliodas-dono's body…"

He couldn't finish the sentence as Albion made another attempt to harm Meliodas. The blonde swiftly evaded the attacks before slashing down on the arm of the stone monster, cutting it in pieces.

"What a cut! And he's so fast!" Arthur exclaimed widen eyed. "In just one flick of his sword, he chopped up that monster's arm!"

Albion screamed out in pain, while something new was growing out of his body. "Something is wrong with Albion!" Diane shouted, five long things sprouted around his body facing the front. "He's growing giant horns!" Hawk panicked as he quickly hid behind Merlin.

Kagome's eyes quickly narrowed and another wave went over her barrier, creating a second layer. Merlin smirked as she watched on. "Interesting." She said. "So it learned the Captain's "Full Counter"."

Suddenly the horns charged up with power, pointing at Meliodas who was in mid-fall. "Oh no! Even for the Captain, it's impossible to handle that many at once…" Diane looked anxious, as more power seemed to gather around the tips.

"Don't worry Diane." Diane snapped her head to Kagome. "Demo-" Kagome didn't let her finish as a soft smile came on her face, her eyes still locked on Meliodas. "He'll be fine."

A flash occurred, blinding the audience for a second before disappearing. When they looked back at the continuing battle they could see that Meliodas was no longer alone, instead there were four more of him.

Albion released his attack, aiming at the demise of Meliodas. The five Meliodas shared one single look before raising their arms that held the sword and striking it down.

"Full Counter!"

The blast was so big that it blew several knights a couple of feet back. Meliodas calmly landed back on the ground and looked at his work. "Oops, did I accidentally blow him away with his core?" He snickered.

"Meliodas-dono!" Arthur came down and run to him. "What was that move, just now?!" He asked excitedly. Meliodas smiled and noticed the pink barrier disappearing. His eyes went towards the green pig that also decided to land.

"H-He is way to extreme!" Hawk complained. "He brought that thing down all on his own!" Slader, who had been quiet up till now, was also staring intensely at Meliodas. "This… is the true power of Meliodas when in possession of his sacred treasure?!"

Kagome grinned proudly at the man who was smirking happily at her with a thump up.


'"Well then, Oslo." King began as he patted his dog on the head. Jericho was leaning against a tree not too far from them. "Can you open up the entrance to Liones?"

*Bark*

"I know. But it's fine." King replied. "The Fairy King's forest doesn't need me anymore." He turned towards the female knight one last time. "Jericho, are you sure you are staying in the forest? You might regret it." He warned her.

"Leave me alone." She huffed. "I'm not a Holy Knight anymore. I'm sick of that suffocating life with my Aniki." She turned her head away. Suddenly the earth began to shake. Trees began growing and flowers began blooming.

"The forest is growing…" King muttered as he looked around seeing a bit more life come back to the forest. "What are you saying?!" Jericho questioned as she stared in shock at the tree she was leaning against a minute ago. "Forests don't grow like this!"

"No, typically the don't." King replied. "Even though this all came from the seed of the Great Tree, there's no way a forest would grow like this in only 20 short years. Especially, since the fountain of youth no longer exists."

"It does." A sudden voice interrupted. King turned around to see a fairy floating besides them. "Ende!" He called out. "Once every many years, he comes to the forest to give it life." She continued.

Ban's voice went through King's head as he remembered what he said. 'I'll leave here as soon as I take care of my business.'


"Sugoi, Ban-sama!" Elizabeth looked on in fascination as Ban's blood was flowing smoothly into a pool at the bottom of the tree trunk, near the flowerbed where Elaine was lying. Ban's wrist sizzled a bit before closing the wound.

"Ban-dono, thanks to your years of sacrifice, the forest is returning to its former glory." Ban turned around to the voice that spoke to him and saw another fairy, she was dressed in a green and yellow dress. With her hat covering one eye. A face with brown hair and a purple eye stared at him.

"You don't need to thank me." Ban replied as he put his coat back on. "I'm only doing it for Elaine." Elizabeth looked back and forth between the two, feeling some kind of tension rise.

"You said, you've served the Fairy King for generations? Wouldn't the other fairies prefer it if you become the King?" He asked of her. "It's different from humans. The Fairy King cannot be chosen by someone, not assumed by one's own volition." The fairy explained. "He is only chosen by the Sacred Tree."

"Then I'm not the King either." Ban responded without looking at her, his eyes remained focus on Elaine lifeless body.

"Of course not, ningen." The fairy's tone changed. "Harlequin is most fit to be Fairy King. You're nothing more than nourishment for the forest."


"The forest' is suddenly making a ruckus. What's going on?" King whipped his head around as the ground began to shake once more, however there was no sign of nature growing with life.

His eyes narrowed as he realize that there was danger approaching.

"Emergency! Emergency! Ban-sama! There's a monster in the outskirts of the forest!"

King could hear some of the fairies yell in distress as they flew towards the Sacred Tree. Jericho and King made eye contact before King flew up to the sky. Before his eyes laid a very tall and pale monster, long arms and legs made the most out of its height.

"A-Are you kidding me?!" Jericho stuttered out, her voice trembled in fear as she saw the monster move slowly towards the heart of the forest. "That monster is as huge as the Sacred Tree of the Fairy King's Forest!"

Some fairies mustered up the courage and flew over to the thing, shouting that it should leave. The monster took a mere glance at them, it raised its arms and swoop it down, causing a bunch of trees in the distance to fall down due the impact.

Fortunately were the fairies spared, but it left them terrified with no hope. Again the monster attacked, the other side of forest got the destroyed.

"The forest is going to disappear again!" Ende exclaimed as she watched the monster attack in fear. It raised its arm and was about to attack the Sacred Tree before a bolt of light hit it midway. Fairies stopped to stare at the one who dared to stand against it.

A huge sunflower revealed itself as the smoke lit. Ende's eyes lit up from relieve. "Th-That's the Sunflower that blooms in the tree of the Fairy World!"

The eyes of the many fairies traveled up, seeing a lone figure fly above the plant.

"H-Harlequin!" They all yelled simultaniously

The powers collided blasting King against the Sacred Tree.

"It's reckless against such a monster! There's no way he can win!" One fairy shouted.

However King got back up and flew up in the sky once again. Images flashed through their heads as they remembered how they treated him. They threw things at him, called him names and said horrible things to him, but he still was their Fairy King.

"Don't do as you please in my hometown!" King exclaimed while wiping away some blood.


"Ban! Ban! There's trouble!" Jericho shouted as she made her way to the Undead and the others. "Outside there is a huge monster!" She halted, together with the young fairy that lead her, in front of the suppose entrance which was blocked off with roots.

"Oi, wasn't this the entrance to the hall?" She asked him, the fairy couldn't answer as Jericho continued shouting, hoping that Ban or even Elizabeth could hear her. "Ban, you're in there, right?!"

"I had my hopes up that you would at least be surprised by my attitude a little, but you are a human with a lot of guts." Gerheade spoke as she was spitting out venom.

Ban laughed. "It's not like I'll be surprised. I know there are members of the Fairy Clan who do not approve of me being called the Fairy King." He said with an indifferent face. "Though I never remember asking to be called the Fairy King. According to Elaine, humans have never had a good perception of the fairies or of the Fairy King's Forest from a long time ago. Even if you hate me, there's no mystery behind it."

Gerheade's smirk widened. "Iie, Ban. Even with this, I am grateful to you. You revived the forest, burnt and lost by the abominable Demon Clan. It's not something any human can do. However, a human cannot become the Fairy King. The Fairy King must be chosen by the Sacred Tree. All this forest needs is Harlequin!" She said as she attacked Ban.

He quickly jumped out of the way after pushing Elizabeth closer to Elaine to protect. "Like I said, I have no interest in becoming the king." His voice spoke in a bored tone as he swiftly dodged the roots coming his way. "I don't know what you're thinking, but I would stop if I were you."

He decided to counterattack and destroyed the roots the fairy controlled until he stood in front of her. "Gerheade, you better listen up." He started. "Even without you asking me, I am planning to leave this forest."

"That's going to be a problem."

He heard her whisper beneath her breath. He glanced over at her and saw a root growing besides her, it twisted until is became a sharp weapon. He waited for its attack, but his eyes went wide when he saw which direction it went. The root was flying at full speed towards Elaine and Elizabeth.

"Teme!" Ban shouted as he sprinted to the pair.

The young child saw it coming and tried to spark her powers to create a barrier, but with little success. Elizabeth quickly gave up and moved her body to protect the person beneath her.


"It's not bulging!" Jericho sighed frustrated as once again her attempt failed. "What's up with this?!" She exclaimed. "This magic is Gerheade's." the young fairy, Puora, answered. "But why? I have a bad feeling about this." He told her earnestly.

"Move." She commanded him and took a hold of her sword. She began slashing through the roots until she could enter. The moments she passed the entrance she could hear cries of a child.

"Oh, the other human who wandered in with Ban." Gerheade greeted. "You should leave this forest immediately, before you regret it." Jericho's eyes went passed her and widen upon what they landed on.

She saw Ban hovering over Elizabeth and Elaine, blood still dripping from his chest where he was impaled. Elizabeth was crying as some of the blood came on her cheek and dress.

"Don't worry." Gerheade said. "This man will continue to live for the forest as the new Fountain of Youth. Next to the one he loves. For eternity. I advise you to take the bawling child and leave."

"What have you don to him?!" Jericho yelled as she quickly ran over to them, scooping Elizabeth in her arms as a mean to calm her down.

"I supported the true Fairy King who was chosen by the Sacred Tree and worked for the prosperity of the forest. I merely carried out my duties." Gerheade explained, she turned to the small fairy that had joined her side. "Puora, what did you come here for?" He wavered but told her regardless. "T-There's a monster outside that's-"

A loud rumble caused the earth to shake and Jericho to hold on to Elizabeth even tighter. "This clash of magic powers…" Gerheade muttered. "what is the Fairy King-sama fighting?" She decided to fly out to see what was going on.

Her face went pale on the sight of the demon that was before her. "Why?! What is a Demon Clan's weapon that was sealed 3000 years ago doing here…?!"

"Spirit Spear Chastiefol, Form 2, Guardian!" King shouted as he sent out his bear to fight the Albion. He kept on attacking but it seemed like little damage was done. Albion raised his arm and slammed it down on King, sending him to the ground.

"Harlequin-sama!" Gerheade shouted out.

'There's no way I can lose this forest twice! And… I'll definitely go back to where Diane is! There's no way I can lose here!' King brought up two fingers, summoning his Sacred Treasure. "Form 5, Increase!" However it did not work as he was once again blown away.

Fairies looked on with fear as they watched their former King fight a hopeless battle against the Demon.

'Diane… I want to see you again. I want to see your face.' He thought as he fell to the ground. He landed on another body that was trying to keep them both afloat. "I'll save you right now!" Gerheade voice spoke into his ear.

"Don't come!" He shouted but it was too late. The Albion had swung his arm once again, this time hitting the Sacred Tree. They watched shocked as their source of life was cut down and fell to the ground.

"The Sacred Tree…" Whispers passed in the forest.

"I'm sorry, everyone…" King muttered apologetic. "I really am, a bad…" He didn't finish as he looked over his shoulder, seeing Ban move Elaine closer to him.

The fairies suddenly surrounded him and flew towards the monster. "Gerheade-sama, please leave this place to us and take him away." Ende requested and followed after the other fairies.

"Harlequin-sama, please run away!"

"You're really our king!"

"Please don't die!"

Gerheade took King away despite his complains. "It's too reckless! Yamete!" He shouted. In helmet fell on his head admits his harsh movements. "Gerheade let me go!" He shouted full anger.

"I will not!" she immediately retorted. "If the Fairy King exists, the forest will eventually revive. However, if we lose the one and only Fairy King, what will happen to the Fairy Clan and the forest?! Please do not let everyone's feelings go to waste…"

"It's just as Gerheade said." A distant voice King recognized all to well began and time seemed to stop. "While everyone is holding it back, you should run away. To be honest, this monster is too strong. The Fairy Clan was lazy. Without trying to face troubles or threats ourselves, we put that duty off. We pushed it onto the Fairy King, thinking that the Fairy King would solve any difficulty."

Helbram smiled a bit. "However, they finally regained their pride after seeing you, called a traitor, fight with your life on the line. You had sacrificed yourself too much until now. I don't think it's bad to be more self-indulgent, Harlequin. Go back to where the big cutie is."

A single tear left King's eyes as he saw Helbram smile widen. He was brought back to reality and felt his body being carried away. But he couldn't… he wouldn't.

He stopped Gerheade by stretching out his arm to Albion. He bited through his tears as he summoned his power. "Fairy King-sama, w-what are you doing…?" She stammered. "Please, I'm begging you, it only needs to be once… please work this time! Sacred Treasure release!" He shouted and his spear began to light up with power.

The force grew stronger, pushing the helmet off of his head as well as Gerheade. "Since I'm a greedy king, I want to protect everything; the forest, my comrades and Diane!" His powers kept growing, flaring around him.

"In addition, I want to save Elaine's heart, that I couldn't protect and Ban, you as well, who continues to protect her!"

Fairies could see his spear growing and glowing until it manifested into a new form.

"True Spirit Spear Chastiefol!"

He saw Albion charging at him and immediately sent the spear to it. Cause an explosion of wind, until the Albion disappeared into ashes. The Sacred Tree began growing back.

King, Harlequin, the Fairy King had won.

Lorelei evans: Here is the update, love! I hope you enjoyed it and yes I agree, Elizabeth is kinda useless, especially in the first two seasons. So I wanted to make Kagome more daring, but I also needed a reason why things would happen the way it would, so I'll you here bluntly because I don't I wrote uhm… clear (…? XD) enough. But like Kagome won't be able to use her full power because, well… she is the arch enemy of the demons so I thought that the sins wanted her to be a secret a bit longer… or something that XD But like that is the plan with Kagome.
