Byzel

When the Sins came to Byzel they never thought they would find Diane's scared treasure here or fight in a tournament to get it. The thing that shocked them the most today is the fact that Diane is currently the same size as them. Currently the four sins were heading into the waiting room where Lucy was resting to get some answers as to what happened to Diane and where Elizabeth was.

Once inside the shack, Virgo looked at them as Lucy was still out cold.

"Diane, what happened?" Asked King curious.

But before Diane could say anything, they heard Lucy groan as she slowly got up.

"Ah, Lucy how are you feeling?" Asked Meliodas forgetting about Diane for the moment.

"Like Mama Hawk walked all over me." Answered Lucy as she rubbed her eyes. When she moved her hands away and looked around the room her eyes landed on Diane. She blinked her eyes several times before she spoke.

"Am I still sleeping?" Lucy asked the others confused.

"No." Said Ban grinning as he understood why she asked that.

"Then how is Diane the same size as the rest of us?" Asked Lucy confused as she then realized something. "And where's Elizabeth?"

"I'm right here." Said Elizabeth but her voice sounded weak. Everyone, but Diane looked around confused.

"Where are you Elizabeth?" Asked Meliodas confused.

"Right here." Said Elizabeth as the ribbon on Diane chest moved revealing Elizabeth.

Seeing this everyone stared at Diane's chest in surprise. Seeing this Diane backed up a bit and covered herself a bit.

"Perverts." Said Diane as she didn't mean it for one person.

"No, no! That's not what I was trying to…" Trailed off King as he waved his arms around and was blushing.

"What happened to you two?" Asked Lucy curious.

"Well…" Started Diane as she explained that when they went into town, they went into the nearby forest looking for ingredients for dinner. That was when they found this weird giant mushroom that neither have seen before. Diane punched it thinking she could use it for their meal when it released it spores, that covered the two. When it cleared the stood there in a pool of their own clothes as they saw they had shrunk. With no better idea Diane put on Elizabeth's clothes and headed into town to find the others.

"So for now, I'm borrowing Elizabeth's clothes and such." Finished Diane.

"And there are no clothes my size…" Trailed off Elizabeth as she sat on Diane's chest.

"So that's why you're between Diane's boobs." Said Meliodas as that's what he took away from the story.

"I can fix that." Said Virgo suddenly as everyone looked at her.

"What do you mean Virgo? Can you make them their right sizes?" Asked Lucy hopeful.

"No." Said Virgo. "But I can give Elizabeth some clothes to wear."

Hearing that Elizabeth agreed as Virgo gave her an outfit. Soon Elizabeth was wearing a white strapless dress with blue highlights on the side. She also had white legging that went up to her upper thighs. And white detached sleeves that had a blue ribbon at the top. And finally, she had a blue ribbon tied around her neck.

"Thank you, Virgo." Said Elizabeth as she felt better clothed now as she stood before the other. Seeing it Meliodas gave a thumbs up as he liked it.

"But what caused this in the first place?" Asked Lucy curious as she never heard of anything like this before.

"It was probably a king trumpet-type mushroom, the chicken-matango. It's a timid monster, so you hardly ever see it, but when it's in danger it releases spores that shrink other living beings!" Explained King as he had heard of them, but never seen one.

"Is it permanent?" Asked Elizabeth worried.

"No, it only lasts for a few hours I heard." King told her making her better.

"All that aside, why didn't you two tell us right away?" Aske Meliodas curious.

"I wanted to surprise you, Captain!" Said Diane as she jumped towards Meliodas as she landed in his arms.

"NNOO!" Cried out King as he watched the scene before him.

"Saw that coming." Said Ban with a grin.

"Yup." Agreed Lucy.

"Wow! To be held by the captain like this is a dream come true for me!" Said Diane as she felt like this was a dream and if it was, she didn't want to wake up.

"It more like you tackled me." Said Meliodas not amused by this.

"I was always jealous of Elizabeth." Said Diane as she then realized something. "Oh, that's right! Put me down! Hurry! Hurry!"

"You sure are busy today." Said Meliodas as he let her down much to King's relief.

"Here, Captain. Grope me all over! Just like how you do it to Elizabeth." Said Elizabeth as she lifted up her skirt to Meliodas. Seeing this Meliodas fell over anime style while King had a nose bleed.

"Come on, even if you tell me to do it…" Trailed off Meliodas as he wasn't going to.

Hearing that wasn't what Diane wanted to hear as her eyes started to water up.

"That's not fair! It's always Elizabeth! What am I to you captain!?" Asked/demanded Diane as the others felt bad for her.

"Just when… Just when I finally became smaller… Because I'm so big, captain doesn't care about me…" Said Diane in between sniffles, but then Diane felt a hand on her head.

Looking up Diane saw it was Meliodas's hand. "There, there." He told her.

"I can't do something like that to someone so important to me. Just be happy with this for now, alright." Explained Meliodas.

Hearing that did make Diane better. "Okay! I'll be fine." Diane told Meliodas.

"So in the end, we all ended up entering the fight festival, huh?" Said Meliodas as they all but won Diane's scared treasure.

"Looks like it." Agreed Diane with a giggle as she then got a serious look on her face.

"Oh! I forgot about the most important thing!" Diane suddenly said gaining the other attention.

"What is it?" Asked Meliodas curious.

"We can have kids now!" Diane told Meliodas as she stuffed Meliodas into her chest.

"Were you listening to me at all?" Asked Meliodas with a dead pan look.

"In one ear out the other." Said Ban as he shook his head.

"She's just like Juvia." Said Lucy as she could see Juvia doing the exact same thing to Grey.

All the while King was still out of it, but Elizabeth had a concerned look on her face.

Meliodas was able to get out of Diane's grasp as he took a few steps back.

"Well, the semi-finals should be beginning soon." Said Meliodas as he grinned at Ban who grinned back as their fight was first.

Lucy looked down at Elizabeth. "Want to ride with me?" She asked Elizabeth.

"Ok." Said Elizabeth as Lucy held out her hand as Elizabeth jumped on. Lucy then brought her hand to her shoulder as Elizabeth sat down on it. As everyone headed out Virgo went back to the Celestial spirt realm.

Soon all of them were out in the crowd as Lucy felt like someone was watching her. But when she looked around she saw nothing.

"Everything ok?" Asked Elizabeth wondering if everything was ok.

Lucy gave another look, before answering. "Just felt like someone was watching me." She told Elizabeth but in such a crowd anyone could be watching them.

"Alright folks!" Said Love Helm as he was in the arena. "Let's continue!"

Hearing that the crowd cheered as Ban and Meliodas were already in the ring.

"On one side we have Gajeel and on the other we have Natsu." Said Love Helm as the crowd cheered.

"Cap…" Stared Diane but stopped when she caught her mistake. "I mean Natsu do your best!"

Hearing that King frowned as he spoke up. "Gajeel! If you lose and get humiliated, I'll tell Elaine!"

Lucy and Elizabeth just stood there listening to the two cheering.

"Well then, let the fight begin!" Declared Love Helm as the crowd cheered.

"It would've been nice if the ring were bigger." Said Ban as she stretched a bit getting ready to fight.

"It was about this big back then too…" Said Meliodas as he was remembering something.

"What's up with you? Are you that excited to fight me?" Asked Ban as he cracked his knuckles.

"You lose if you get knocked out of the stage." Said Meliodas with a thoughtful look on his face. "It reminded me of something from long ago."

"A long time ago? Stop beating around the bush and just tell me." Said Ban as the crowd was getting annoyed with their talking.

"Don't worry, you'll remember right away." Said Meliodas making Ban wonder what it was.

But he next thing the audience knew Meliodas was already on Ban. He punched Ban in the face so hard he nearly went out of the ring. But that's when Ban remembered. This was like when he and Meliodas first meet.

He was in prison for burning down the Fairy forest. When Meliodas came for him he refused, but Meliodas said he would use force to make him come. Ban though he was joking since he though Meliodas was a kid. Boy was he wrong. The next thing Ban knew he was outside laying on the ground with the bricks of his cell laying about. And that was the start of their friendship.

Back in the present Ban quickly regained his footing as he grabbed Meliodas by his side as he then tried to slam his head down on the ground. But Meliodas quickly used his hands to stop himself. He then used his legs to grab Ban's head as he flipped ban over him and slammed his head into the ground.

Ban then without missing a beat grabbed Meliodas's right leg as Ban flipped himself over. Ban then kicked Meliodas into the air and then Ban followed him up as he unleased a flurry of punches on Meliodas. Meliodas had raised his arms to protect himself. But when he saw an opening, he delivered a left haymaker on Ban sending him down to the ground.

The force of the blow then caused the rock they were fighting on to split in two as everyone was shocked by this.

Lucy and Elizabeth were shocked by what they just saw. Sure, they saw them destroy a prison by arm wresting. But this was them having a fun fight. I made the two wonder how powerful the two were and if they were this powerful and they weren't the strongest of the group then how strong was Escanor?

"This is the power of the Seven deadly sins?" Asked a man beside the girls making their eyes go wide. Lucy then turned to the side and saw Howzer there watching the fight.

"It's you." Said Lucy surprised. Hearing that Howzer looked over and was surprised to see Lucy and even more so the see Elizabeth.

"You're that girl with the sins." Said Howzer in a hushed tone as he added. "And what did you do to the princess?!"

Lucy looked at Elizabeth. "This is a freak accident." She told Howzer before added. "So your going to spring your trap now?"

"Trap?" Asked Howzer confused. "What trap?"

"The trap you set for us here." Said Lucy as her right hand slowly went to her keys.

"What are you talking about?" Asked Howzer generally confused.

"Lucy he's telling the truth." Said Elizabeth as she believed him.

"How can you be sure?" Asked Lucy as she looked at her.

"I know Howzer, he's friends with Gilthunder. He hates when people are dishonest and cheat." Explained Elizabeth as Howzer would never set a trap when people could get hurt.

"What are you talking about?" Asked Howzer confused.

"You mean you didn't leave Diane's Warhammer here?" Asked Lucy as she was getting confused.

"Warhammer? What are you talking about?" Howzer asked her.

"The grand prize." Said Lucy.

"Oh, I just wanted to take part in the tournament. Been wanting to for years." Howzer told them as he was wondering if this was why princess Veronica was here.

Hearing this made Lucy curious. "But the grand prize is Diane's scared treasure. And she left it behind when she fled the capital. So someone from there had to place it here to lure us." Lucy said to herself out loud.

Hearing that Howzer started to fell like something else was going on here.

"Why would the Holy knights set a trap where people could get hurt?" Asked Howzer mostly to himself.

"Why are they preparing for war then?" Countered Lucy as this confused Howzer even further.

"What do you mean?" Howzer asked her as he was getting really confused.

Hearing this both girls looked at each other confused. "You really don't know what's going on, do you?" Asked Elizabeth concerned.

"No, I've been on the border, defending it from invaders for the last few weeks." Howzer told the princess.

"Then when was the last time you saw the King or princess Margaret?" Asked Lucy curious.

"Um…" Thought Howzer as he couldn't remember.

Hearing that Elizabeth spoke up. "Then do you know about what's happening with the people. How men are being trained, woman and children to gather food and the elderly to build?"

Hearing that Howzer eyes went wide. "Your lying! Even if I wasn't here, Gilthunder wouldn't let this happen." He told them as both girls looked at each other worried.

"Lucy put me on his shoulder." Instructed Elizabeth as Lucy did what she was told.

"Howzer." Said Elizabeth in a low tone near his ear, but due to her size it was like she was talking normal. "Gilthunder knows what's going on but can't do anything."

"What!" Said Howzer shocked, as he couldn't believe it, unless.

"They have my sister Margaret prisoner and are constantly watching Gilthunder." Said Elizabeth confirming what Howzer thought. Those two cared for each other greatly, so it made sense to control Gilthunder they had to grab Margaret.

But then Howzer realized something, how did they know this. But before he could ask, they heard the crowd gasping.

Curious everyone looked at the ring as Meliodas was laying on the ground as Ban stood over him looking stronger than ever.

"What happened?" Lucy asked herself as she was occupied with their conversation.

"Here." Said Howzer as he gave Elizabeth back to Lucy. He didn't trust himself right now as a great fight was before them.

Ban swung his fist down as the floor exploded near Meliodas's head. Seeing this both girls gasped.

"This fun little fist fight is coming to a close, Captain." Said Ban with a smirk on his face. "Which will it be? Give up with honor? Or get thrown to the floor of this rock?"

While Ban seemed to be cocky here, that was the farthest thing. He respected Meliodas enough to give him this choice.

"In your dreams." Said Meliodas with a grin. "I'm going to win this."

Hearing that shocked the crowd as it looked like Meliodas had no way of winning this. Hearing that Ban started to laugh in joy.

"I knew it. The Captain and I are the perfect match." Said Ban as he was enjoying this fight.

"Well then, allow me to deliver one last blow!" Said Ban as he got ready.

Seeing this the crowd yelled out to Love Helm to stop the fight.

"Yes." Love Helm agreed with the crowd, but there was one problem. "But if he isn't conscious and chooses not to give up…" He explained as he was following the rules.

"If you survive this, let me know what you think. Of the taste of my fist that combines our powers!" Said Ban as he was ready to let Meliodas have it.

"Lucy! Please stop them!" Pleaded Elizabeth as she could bear to see this.

"I wish I could." Said Lucy as she knew nothing she did could stop them.

Ban then brought down his fist and in a flash, there was a huge explosion of dust and rocks. But the surprising thing was something went flying out of the ring, but no one saw it.

"He seriously finished him!" explained Howzer in shock. "Aren't they supposed to be allies!?"

Elizabeth could only look on in shock, but she screamed out Meliodas's name.

"Elizabeth, not so loud." Said Meliodas as he stood there in the ring ok.

Seeing this shocked everyone, even the other sins as this made no sense to anyone.

"Natsu is the only one in the ring." Announced Love Helm as everyone was wondering what happened and where was Ban?

"Where did Gajeel go?" Someone in the crowd asked.

"He's over there." Said Meliodas as he pointed at the hill.

Seeing this everyone looked over to where he was pointing. And sure enough there a hole in the hill. Those closer to it looked in it confused as they saw a beaten and bloody Ban laying in it. But he wasn't upset, rather he was grinning.

"Aw, he got me." Ban said to himself as he coughed up a bit of blood.

"Well now… this can only mean Natsu is the winner!" Declared Love Helm as the crowd cheered.

But as the crowd cheered the other sins and Howzer wondered what happened. But somehow Lucy did see what happened. She wasn't sure how, but it was almost like Meliodas wanted her to see as the dust was clear in her line of sight only.

She saw Ban's hit connect, but then Meliodas's left hand grasped Ban's arm. Meliodas then looked different as he had a weird black tattoo over his right eye. And with one hit he sent Ban flying.

'Is this the power of a demon?' Lucy asked herself as it scared her.

"What did you think?" asked Meliodas as he was suddenly before the girls, startling Lucy.

"Meliodas what happened?" Asked Elizabeth confused.

"Just used my secret weapon." Answered Meliodas indirectly as he looked at Lucy. "What did you think?"

Hearing that Lucy knew Meliodas did that on purpose, to show her a sample of the power of a demon.

"It's hard to put into words." Lucy told him as it was. She then remembered some facts to tell Meliodas.

"Meliodas we learnt a few things just now about the Holy knights." Started Lucy gaining Meliodas's attention.

"That Holy Knight Howzer knows who we are, but he doesn't realize what's happening in the kingdom." Said Lucy as Meliodas thought about it.

"It must have been the other Holy knight who told him." Said Meliodas as that was the most likely reason. "But what do you mean he doesn't know what's going on?"

"He said he was on the border till just recently, so that's one reason. The other is someone keeping what happened to the King and princess Margaret quite." Said Lucy as that made the most sense to her.

Meliodas thought about what Lucy said. And if some knights were in the dark about what's really going on then Dreyfus and/or Hendrickson were involved in this somehow. But how and why is the main question.

He knew both men and he would never think either of them would be able to do this. But ten years was a long time, so maybe.

"Ok let's get to final fight of the semi-finals!" Announced Love Helm breaking Meliodas's train of thought.

In the ring both Diane and Howzer stood there ready to fight, but Howzer looked away from Diane. He then pointed to his chest confusing Diane for a second before she realized what he was doing.

"Oh. I forgot" Was all Diane said as her chest was somewhat exposed since she wasn't hiding Elizabeth in there anymore.

"Whoa, Howzer! What a gentleman! He let Matrona know that her button was undone!" Announced Love Helm as the crowd Booed Howzer.

"But he receives a hail of boos from the crowd!" Love Helm added.

"It's a distraction for my eyes and I wouldn't be able to fight!" Howzer defended himself.

"Despite his looks, does Howzer actually have a pure heart!?" Asked Love Helm as Howzer glared at him for the cheap shit he took.

"Begin!" Declared Love Helm as Howzer charged at Diane.

A small tornado then formed around Howzer right fist. "Rising Tornado!" Said Howzer as he swung at Diane who barely moved out of the way.

Diane watched as the debris in the arena got sucked up and thrown out of the ring.

"Oh, it's the move we saw earlier." Said Ban as he laid on Hawk's back looking exhausted.

"Welcome back." Said Meliodas as he wasn't expecting Ban to ride Hawk.

"If I take a hit from something like that. It won't be good." Diane said to herself out loud as she saw how strong that move was.

"Looks like you get it!" Said Howzer with a grin as he swung at Diane again.

"But if you stay still it won't hurt!" Her told Diane who rolled out of the way.

"Stop struggling and leave it to me! Just go with the flow!" Howzer told her as Diane dodged again. "It'll feel great! Like flying through the sky!"

"That guy… He's amazing!" Said Meliodas causing the girls to look at him. "So many double innuendos in a row!"

Somehow Howzer heard him as he fell on the ground in disbelief and shock.

"Tha…That's not…" Started Howzer only for Diane to cut him off.

"Is that true?" Diane asked him as she covered herself up.

"Hell no!" Yelled Howzer as he stood up. "I just dislike hurting woman, that's all! No matter how strong they are!"

And with that Howzer unleashed a furry of attacks on Diane, causing her to dodge or get hit. Seeing this Howzer knew he had to step things up a bit.

"There's no choice! I didn't want to force a woman into anything, but…" He trailed off as Diane saw she was at the edge of the ring with a tornado on each side of her.

"NO!" Cried out King seeing this.

"Whether you try to jump up or hunker down low, twisters will hug the ground and rise to the skies." Explained Howzer as many in the crowd thought Diane was done for.

"Checkmate!" Said Howzer as he rushed at Diane. But when his fist was about to make contact something happened, he didn't expect.

Diane caught his fist as she was fine. Seeing this shocked everyone in the crowd, expect the other sins.

"Hey, no way. You can't be serious." Said Howzer shocked as Diane dodged everything up to this point. "Just back then, you said it wouldn't be good if you took a hit?"

And all he got was a back hand from Diane as Howzer fell to the ground.

"I borrowed these clothes, so I didn't want to get them damaged!" Explained Diane as her clothes were nearly ruined.

Hearing that Howzer chuckled as he got up. "Looks like I can go all out for the first time in a long time! How exciting!" he told Diane.

"It's not exciting! You'd better pay me back after this!" Diane told him as there was no way Elizabeth could wear this now.

But Howzer didn't care as Diane was pushing him more then he thought she would. For Howzer this was the first time someone wasn't fazed by his magic Tempest so that mean he had to go all out. Though he had no idea that Diane was a member of the Seven deadly sins since she was normally giant.

As such Howzer started to ready on of his strongest moves, but since this was the first time he was doing it without his weapon it was going to be weaker. Soon what looked like a cyclone started to form in front of him.

"Run away if you don't want to die." Warned Howzer as he was almost ready.

Seeing this King cried out to Diane. "No! Run!" he told her as Howzer launched his attack.

"Whirl Shock!" Cried Howzer as a what looked like a disk of compressed air flat side shot towards Diane.

It made contact as Diane cried out. Seeing and hearing this the crowd was shocked as they thought Diane was died.

But when the dust cleared Diane stood there her cloths even more wrecked and her hair a mess. Seeing this the crowd was shocked and some of the Sins relieved.

But for Howzer it confirmed his thoughts that Diane was indeed a member of the Deadly Sins. In his eye it was most likely the one who always wore his amour, since she bore no resemblance to Merlin and was the wrong size for Diane.

"I'm not done yet!" Yelled Howzer as he slammed his fist into the arena.

Soon the wind picked up again as it started to cover the whole arena. It was getting so strong Love Helm jumped out to avoid it. Soon it covered the whole arena and went high into the sky.

"Super Cyclone." Declared Howzer as no one could see inside, even the other Sins.

"How does my strongest storm taste?" Asked Howzer as he didn't move at all. "Well, I suppose you can barely breath right now, let alone talk. Don't even think about fighting through it! If you resist the centrifugal force, your body will be ripped to shreds!"

Diane heard all this, and he was right. It was taking everything she had to stay in place. Then Diane felt it, her right foot slipped a bit and that resulted in her going flying in the sky.

Howzer saw this and grinned. "It's my win!" He yelled out as he watched Diane struggle.

But Diane wasn't finished yet. Right as she was over Howzer she acted.

"Heavy Metal!" Said Diane as her entire body was coated in metal.

Not only does this technique give Diane a higher defence it also increases her weight. And since she was right over Howzer she fell down as Howzer could only look on in shock as Diane kneed him in the stomach. The blow was so strong it caused the whole hill to split down the middle and a little bit outwards shocking everyone around.

"Howzer is completely down!" Declared Love Helm as he was able to see. "The Winner of the last semi-finals match is Matrona!"

Seeing the fight was over Diane then rushed to Howzer side to make sure he was ok. "Are you ok?" She asked him as she helped him up.

"It's…It's my utter defeat." Said Howzer weakly.

"I lost my self control and got serious. I'm sorry." Said Diane but Howzer chuckled hearing that.

"I was taken serious by a member of the Seven deadly sins… I'm honoured." Said Howzer as it was an honour for him.

But for Diane she was shocked that he knew who she really was.

"Uum, I'm just a girl that happened to be passing by this area." Diane told him as it wasn't a lie.

"Yeah right." Said Howzer with a chuckle as he wasn't buying it.

But on the sidelines King saw how close Diane was to Howzer without knowing what they were talking about.

"Diane! Get away from that man know!" He told her as he really didn't care for how close they were.

"Geez!" Was all Diane could say as King might as well said she was a member of the sins.

"Diane?" Said Howzer as he didn't quite believe it, but her powers matched. "I knew it."

Hearing that Diane dropped Howzer as she walked off, but not before saying. "I'm really sorry."

Hearing that Howzer was starting to question a lot of things. But the biggest one was who in the Holy Knights he could trust. Afterall the sins were following the rules and weren't breaking any laws right now. And if they were right about Gilthunder, then that made things worse.

Diane then headed over to Lucy and Elizabeth.

"Sorry Elizabeth I ruined your clothes." Apologized Diane as her top barely covered her and her skirt was nearly destroyed.

"No, it's okay! But anyway, are okay looking like that?" Elizabeth asked her as her clothes didn't cover much.

"I could get Virgo to get you some new clothes." Suggested Lucy as she saw some men eyeing Diane, including King.

"There just one more round left. I should be good." Diane told them as she was right.

With both Meliodas and Diane in the finals the sacred treasure was as good as theirs.

"Well then, it's the moment you've all been waiting for! The Byzel fight festival finals!" Announced Love Helm as the crowd cheered. "We had a parade of monstrous contestants, but only two are left standing to decide who the champion of them all is!"

Hearing that Meliodas and Diane started to make their way to the ring.

"Now, the final fight that you've all been waiting for… Natsu vs Matrona!" Announced Love Helm as both of them were ready.

"Listen, listen! How about once we've lightly hit each other two or three times, you kick or punch me out of the ring in some kind of cool way?" Suggested Diane quietly so no one heard her.

"Huh? Are you sure?" Asked Meliodas surprised.

"Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! I want you to win captain!" Said Diane with no problem at all.

But then they heard three people calling out to Meliodas. Curious Diane and Meliodas looked over to where they heard it and were shocked. For standing there were three women flaunting themselves while calling out Meliodas name.

"Captain… who are those women? They seem really friendly with you." Said Diane in a dark tone.

"I have no idea who any of them are." Said Meliodas unaware of danger he was in.

"A climax should be exciting." Grinned Ban as he paid those three to act like that earlier.

"So, you play around with so many women that you don't even recognize them all, huh." Said Diane as she cracked her knuckles.

Seeing this Love Helm spoke up. "Let the fight begin!"

"You, cheater!" Screamed Diane as she punched Meliodas into the ring causing the ground to shake.

"What did you do Ban?" Asked Lucy as she saw the grin on his face.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Said Ban trying to play dumb, but his grin gave him away.

"Will this stage, hold until the fight is over?" Asked King as it's been through a lot today.

At that moment Meliodas got himself free as Ban spoke up.

"Now that you've made Diane snap, you'd better man up and take this seriously." Ban told Meliodas with a grin on his face.

"Is see." Said Meliodas with a dead pan stare. "So, Ban's behind all of this. That bastard."

"Really?" Was all Lucy could say with a slight glare that Elizabeth copied.

"What?! They were going to fake it. But now we have a real fight." Said Ban as he watched the fight before him.

Lucy looked at the fight and Ban was right. This was a real fight. Lucy's been in and saw dozens of fights before but nothing like this. This was a fight using only their strength in their fists to fight. One wrong move would mean the end for them.

But as they fought Lucy's shoulder where Elizabeth was felt heavier to her. Looking over she saw Elizbeth was getting bigger somewhat.

Meanwhile with Howzer he couldn't believe the skills he was seeing right now. But at the same time a bit hurt since Diane said she got serious on him but compare to this he didn't believe her. But then Howzer noticed that Diane seemed bigger than she did with his fight.

'Wait isn't Diane supposed to be from the giant clan?' Howzer asked himself in the head as he couldn't look away.

As the fight went on the crowd got a bit scared as the ground would shake from their blows.

But then the two suddenly stopped fighting. On the side Ban, King, and Lucy went rigged too.

"What's wrong Lucy?" Asked Elizabeth as she felt Lucy got rigged.

"Something's coming." Was all Lucy said as she felt a large source of magic coming this way, and that could only mean one thing.

"Enough dancing around." Said Meliodas confusing everyone. "It's time we took over the town."

"Looks like something gotten in Natsu." Love Helm said confused.

"Is he playing around?!" Someone in the crowd asked.

"What the hell is that brat talking about?" Another person asked.

"Take a good look at this symbol, you scum!" Said Meliodas as he pointed to his tattoo.

"My true identity is the captain of the Seven Deadly Sins, the Dragon sin of wrath Meliodas!" Declared Meliodas as Ban and King joined them in the ring as the crowd was shocked and scared.

It was then that people saw the tattoos on the others as the crowd started to realize that these were the real Seven deadly sin's.

"We've taken a liking to this town. And I'm in a good mode so I'll give you a chance. Get your sorry asses out of Byzel in one minute. Or else, we, the Seven Deadly Sins, will massacre every one of you!" Meliodas told them in a no-nonsense tone.

Hearing this shocked the crowd as some started to run away in fear.

"You guy, what has gotten into you?" Asked Elizabeth sacred as she turned to Lucy. But on Lucy's face was a stern expression making her confused.

Meanwhile off in the distance was three manta rays like creature flying through the air carrying three Holy Knights as their destination was Byzel.

And with that the tournament part of this arc is over. And now we have the Holy Knights coming in the spring their trap on the sins.

To be honest I wasn't sure how to change the fights from their cannon counterparts. So I added Lucy and Elizabeth talking to Howzer in the middle of Meliodas and Ban's fight to spice it up a bit. Sorry if this chapter wasn't as excepting as you hoped.

Until next time.
