A/N: Heyo guys, I've returned! I just wanted to make another clarification.
This is for AButterfly'sTrueColors who reviewed chapter 4. I just wanted to say first of all to not just to AButterfly'sTrueColors, but to everyone, thank you for reviewing. It makes me so happy to read everyone's comments.
I'd like to say that I have not fully decided whether Ellie will age properly like a human. What I think I plan on doing is having her grow up till maybe 16, if I even further this to something like sequel. And then she stops and due having Elaine's fairy linneage and Ban being immortal, she either becomes immortal or just doesn't age for about tons of hundred years.
That's all for now, but don't worry. When I make a final decision I'll inform everyone in one of the chapters. Bye and enjoy! ^-^
P.S. I'll try to upload even sooner for you guys, my peeps.
Chapter 5: A Declaration
"You both will pay for this!" Jericho screeched trying to cover herself.
Both Ban and Ellie walked down the long corridor, laughing like hyenas. "I can't believe you did that. That was so mean!" Ellie chuckled.
"Now I'm not the only one. You helped too, besides Jeri gave me a nice cut," Ban replied moving his hand to his chin and over it.
"Jeri?" The crystal blue haired girl questioned. "When did you two get on a nickname base?"
The bandit smiled and just laughed. "Well, I mean Jeri did cut my hair. I think we're closer than ever," he joked playfully.
"Hmm...that makes no sense whatsoever!" Ellie declared taking the lead in front of Ban. She turned down the dark and stuffy hall to another dark corridor lined with jail cells. Her hands touched against the rough cobblestone walls as a footsteps came from the other direction.
The bandit walked up and grabbed Ellie, whispering, "Stay behind me." She did as she was told and stayed behind her father. The footsteps got louder till a decent sized man in armor walked up.
"Fox sin of greed Ban, this is the end for you," he said. "For you will be disposed by me, Jude of the Weird Fangs," he declared.
Right now Meliodas, Elizabeth, and Hawk were running to Baste prison when they came up on Diane standing in the middle of the valley. They all came to a stop upon Diane's figure. "Hey, Diane, whatcha doing out here?" Hawk asked.
The giant before them was staring out in to nothingness, caught in a trance. She heard Hawk's voice and snapped out, looking down at the three of them. "Huh? Oh, well...I was going to Baste prison, and I...don't remember," she replied, rubbing her temple.
"Well, never mind that. Let's go," Meliodas said.
They nodded but as they were walking Diane looked towards Meliodas's direction only to see a man clad in armor take his place. "Who are you?" She asked.
"Me? I am the knight Rune and leader of the order of the Weird Fang," he answered.
Diane didn't like his answer and pressed further, but in a more distressed tone. "Where's the Captain?"
"He's not here. I took him away from you," Rune explained, "but you can engage me in battle."
"You'll pay for messing with me and the Captain!" She yelled clutching her fists together and smashing them down to where Rune was standing.
"Woah, Diane what are you doing?" The blonde yelled as he dodged the giant's fists. "Hey! Diane, can you hear me?!"
Diane started breathing heavily and looked at her Captain then once again saw Rune. "You..." she gritted her teeth.
"What's going on? Why is Lady Diane acting this way, I don't understand," Elizabeth commented staying closely by Hawk. "Sir Meliodas, do you know?" She exclaimed.
"Hmm," he mumbled, "I have an idea." He replied. "I believe an outside force is hypnotizing her, or something like that."
"Give me back the Captain!" Diane yelled as Meliodas grabbed Elizabeth and Hawk moving them out of harm's way.
He turned his back to the giant for a moment to face the two. "Stay here you two, okay? I don't want you two getting caught up in this," and as quickly as that the blonde disappeared from there vision to where Diane was standing.
"Diane," Meliodas started, but soon her image was replaced with a big guy in armor, "who're you?" He asked taking caution.
"I am the holy knight Rune," he replied.
"Where's Diane?" Meliodas inquired.
"She's gone."
"Then I'll make you disappear." The blonde charged at Rune and started engaging in battle with him, while Diane, surprisingly, was doing the exact same thing.
Back in Baste, Ban had just disposed of Jude, and him and Ellie were walking through the halls. "I'm excited," she said.
"Excited? About what, me taking care of Jude," Ban responded.
She laughed and shook her head. "No. Doing someone in even if to protect someone else is still wrong." Ellie turned to him. "But that's not what I'm excited about. I'll finally get to meet your captain," she explained running her fingers against the cobblestone walls.
"That is true. You didn't get to meet him ten years ago. I guess you're gonna finally meet him and everyone else," he replied.
The crystal blue haired girl crossed her arms and pouted. "It's your fault for putting it off so many times."
"Did not."
"Did too."
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
Both heated at one's faces, they're fangs starting to show. Ellie jabbed her finger to Ban's chest. "It was your fault!" She declared.
He crossed his arms. "Was not!"
They both crossly stared back at one another, glaring viciously, until Ellie cracked a smile and Ban started to laugh. "You would use an excuse like that," the bandit said.
She crossed her arms in a pout, much like Elaine. "Your no fair," she replied.
The bandit slowly smiled. 'Your already a lot like Elaine. I guess you can't help it,' he thought. "Let's get out of here," Ban told her walking down the hall faster.
Right now while Diane was still fighting with Meliodas, Elizabeth was with Hawk, and currently walking through the storm of bugs to reach the little boy being attacked by Freesia.
As the bugs were scratching and cutting her skin she moved through them to reach the boy and cover him from the bugs. The bugs dispersed and Elizabeth looked at the boy with glee, happy to see him okay.
"Thank you lady," he said. "But it doesn't matter anyway."
"What? I don't understand," the princess responded. She let go of the boy only to see him transform into Ruin.
Soon he explained on how it was a trick, but he admired Elizabeth's bravery, but wouldn't spare her. He grabbed her head and drew her closer to him.
He hit her against her staff and threw her away. Much like an old rag doll. But she only smiled, to spit out the bell attached to it. And once this was done, Meliodas and Diane were released from the trance.
In an instant Freesia was stomped on by Diane and Meliodas engaged Ruin. While the princess was injured she accompanied the sin of envy and the swine to follow the blonde to Baste.
Once there they ran into Meliodas again and entered the prison, and only to have the entrance on them.
"Well, I guess this is a one way road," Hawk commented walking through with the three others.
Footsteps sounded throughout the prison which caused the two sins to be on their guard only to see a very familiar man and unfamiliar girl walk up into their line of vision.
They both glared at one another making the hall very quiet.
Meliodas, after seeing his old teammate, gushed. "Ban~"
The sin of greed did the same. "Cap'n~"
They both smiled and ran to each other clapping their hands all over the place, which started to make the prison unsteady. Then, the sin of wrath, pushed Ban into a wall, making it collapse.
He jumped joyously up and cheered, "Oo, oo, me next!" And jolted to the blonde and pushed him back.
They both went against the ground getting into the form of arm wrestling. "Now, let's see Ban. How many times have I won? 361 wons," Meliodas said.
"And how many times have I won? 361 too," Ban replied, as both went more intensely into the match. "Well, then let's see who can break the tie."
As they did this the whole prison started to break apart and collapse.
Later on, everyone was in the home of Dr. Dana and his family, enjoying a meal together.
"Hello your majesty," Ban said bowing, "as you may know I am the sin of greed, and it is a pleasure to be in your presence."
"It's a pleasure to meet you as well your majesty. I've never really met royalty before so this is a first for me," Ellie explained by her father's side.
"Oh- a- please, don't worry about formalities. Your both fine," Elizabeth replied.
The blonde moved towards Diane and whispered, "You see the little girl too right?"
Diane nodded. "Of course Captain. She was in the prison with Ban."
While they were talking it seems they that Ban and Ellie found out about Hawk. "See, look! Dad, it's a talking pig! Your so cute, Hawk!" The crystal blue haired girl gushed running over to the swine and hugging him.
"Dad?"
"Dad!"
"BAN!"
