It's over…Right?

Fairy Tail guild hall
It was another normal day at Fairy Tail as everyone was smiling and laughing. Lucy was sitting with her friends as she told them about her job.
"No way that's true." Said Cana as she took a drink.
"It was Cana. I was summoned to another world to save it." Said Lucy proudly.
"Didn't you say you were summoned to gather the team to save the world?" Questioned Levy with a teasing grin.
"Yeah, but I did help." Admitted Lucy.
"You did a wonderful job Lucy." Praised Erza.
"Thanks Erza." Said Lucy happy for the praise from her.
"Still I wouldn't mind testing my power against that Meliodas guy." Said Natsu as he punched his fist into his palm.
"Natsu take it from me. He's out of all our weight classes." Said Lucy as she was Meliodas's power first hand.
"And he's out of mine." Said a voice out of nowhere.
That was when Lucy realized the guild hall was quite all the sudden. She looked around and gasped in shock. Everyone was dead as their bodies laid over all the place.
That was when she heard several people laughing. She looked for the source but gasped at what she saw. 10 shadows, each one vastly different from each other, all of them laughing as they slowly started to move in on her.
Lucy then shot up screaming. As she put a hand to her head as she was breathing hard. She then saw she was in still in Britannia, in the room Elizabeth gave her in the castle.
"Just a dream." Said Lucy as her breathing was now under control. But that dream felt so real.
The next morning Lucy was sitting with Bartra and his daughters as they had breakfast together.
"Lucy I heard you screaming last night. Is everything ok?" Asked Elizabeth worried.
"Just a bad dream." Said Lucy as she ate her meal.
"Lucy I've heard you scream from a bad dream before, this was different." Stated Elizabeth as Lucy sighed.
"I think the stress form the last battle was more then I thought." Admitted Lucy as she never dealt with anything like that before.
"That is understandable." Agreed Margaret as when she woke up this morning and feared what happened the other day was a dream. Something she was worried was going to happen for a while.
"Maybe you should see someone?" Suggested Veronica as she was talking to Lucy, but Margaret thought about it herself.
"Maybe." Admitted Lucy as that sounded like a good idea.
"Lucy." Said Bartra as he gained her attention.
"Elziabeth has told me all you've done for her. From being her friend, to protecting her, to even teaching her how to fight. For this I can never thank you enough." Bartra told her making Lucy smile.
"Elizabeth is my friend. And I'm sure she would have done the same for me if our roles were reversed." Said Lucy making Elizabeth smile hearing that.
"Still she has told me of your magic and power. For that I wish to make you the new great Holy Knight!" Declared Bartra making all four girls stop and look at him with shocked expressions.
"I can't be the new great Holy Knight. I know nothing about your lands, I know nothing about your knights, I…I" Panicked Lucy thinking of ways to get out of this.
"Clam down Lucy I was only joking." Said Bartra laughing calming her down.
"Father that wasn't very funny." Said Elizabeth in a slightly scolding tone.
"I'm sorry dear." Said Bartra with a smile on his face.
"But in all seriousness Lucy I wish for you to become Elizabeth's personal knight." Requested Bartra in a serious tone.
"Your majesty I'm honored that you trust Elizabeth with me. But I came here on a job and the job is done…" Trailed off Lucy with a sad look on her face.
"And you're going home aren't you." Finished Elizabeth as she already knew this.
"Yes." Said Lucy sadly.
"I see." Was all Elizabeth could say.
"But I'll talk to the king. Maybe I can come and go between our worlds." Lucy told Elizabeth hoping the king would say yes.
"I hope so." Said Elizabeth as she doubts that she'll ever find a friend like Lucy again.
That was when Bartra coughed into his hand to regain their attention.
"I understand your reasons Lucy. And while I would have preferred you stayed here, I understand you have responsibilities back where you came from." Bartra told her as he did wished Lucy would have stayed to protect Elizabeth, due to the trust the two shared.
"Thank you, your majesty. And don't worry about Elizabeth she already has a knight who would tear apart a kingdom for her." Said Lucy as they all knew who she was talking about and chuckled as he kind of already did that.
Meanwhile in another part of the city Meliodas sneezed.
"Catching a cold?" Asked Merlin as the two were in a mushroom shaped building. The odd thing was this building wasn't here yesterday.
"Nah." Said Meliodas as he looked around, not daring to touch anything a he didn't know what could happen.
"So this is your new mobile lab." Said Meliodas impressed.
"Yes I got the idea from your bar." Admitted Merlin as it made working easier.
"But on a serious note captain. I can't find the coffin of eternal darkness." Merlin told Meliodas shocking him.
"You can't!" Siad Meliodas surprised as that should have been something easy to find for her.
"That's right. I've already checked my former manor and Hendrickson's research lab. Even the sites Tiffany told me about. But there was no sign of it. I even expanded my search the entire capital, but I found nothing." Explained Merlin making Meliodas frown.
"Then where did it go?" Meliodas asked himself mostly. As this could get bad really fast.
"I don't know. But I do know this. There were eyewitness accounts of some sort of menacing bird-like creature flying east following the battle with Hendrickson." Merlin told him.
"East, huh?" Repeated Meliodas as it might be important enough to head that way.
They then heard a knocked on the door.
"Enter." Said Merlin as Tiffany entered the building.
"Hello Merlin, Meliodas." Greeted Tiffanny as she bowed to them.
"Well, I think I'll check on the girls." Said Meliodas as he got up and left.
"Merlin…" Started Tiffany as she tried to find the right words to say.
"I'm sorry. I thought I had everything under control. But in my arrogance, I didn't even see what was in front of me. If I did, I would have tried to stop this from happening." Admitted Tiffany as she held her head low in shame.
"But you were in the right mind to make a cure for this." Merlin reminded her.
"One good thing when I have watched dozens die due to the blood." Muttered Tiffany with shame and regret.
"Tiffany what I'm about to say goes against teaching. But between you and Vivian, you were my favorite. You studied hard, researched until you couldn't find anything else, worked so hard you'd collapse from exhaustion. You even made me see a few things differently. So when I say this, I mean it. You made a mistake. Did it cost lives yes but think of all the lives you saved." Merlin told her as it seemed to work a little on her.
"I guess this is how you and all the Sins feel isn't it." Said Tiffany as she will never let herself forget what she did.
"There are better day and then there are worse days." Admitted Merlin.
"I see." All was Tiffany could say.
"Merlin, I came here for three reasons today. The first it to give you a copy of all my research." Started Tiffany as she snapped her fingers as copies of her research appeared around them.
Merlin looked at them and smiled at the organization she saw.
"You always were good at organizing your work." Stated Merlin as this could be an interesting read later.
"Second I am leaving the kingdom for an unknown amount of time." Tiffany told Merlin making Merlin curious.
"What for?" She asked Tiffany wondering if it was some form of self banishment.
"There are still new generation Holy knights out there with demon blood in them. So I'm heading out to find and cure them all." Answered Tiffany with a firm look of resolve on her face.
"It will be dangerous." Warned Merlin as she knew nothing she said or do will stop her.
"I know. That is why Asher and the others volunteered to join me." Tiffany told her as some help would be good.
"Then best of luck with your hunt." Merlin told her as she knew Tiffany kept a record of who had the blood and where they should be. After all she taught her that herself.
"And lastly… I hope I can still be your student." Said Tiffany unsure as she wouldn't be surprised if Merlin no.
"Why would I say your not? After all the research you've done on the red demon in impressive and it will take me weeks, maybe even months to go over everything you learnt." Merlin told her as Tiffany couldn't help but smile.
"Thank you master." Said Tiffany grateful.
"No thank you Tiffany." Merlin said in a low tone that Tiffany couldn't hear.
"I hate to run, but I need to gather everything I need for the journey." Tiffany told Merlin as she turned for the door.
"And grab what you don't think you'll need. You never know what can happen out there." Warned Merlin as you never know what could happen out there.
"Then I'll never be done packing." Joked Tiffany as she knew anything and everything can happen out there.
The shared a laugh at that as Tiffany really had to leave to get ready. Her journey was going to take her all over the kingdom and maybe even beyond it.
Once Tiffany was gone Merlin put the notes away for later. But she thought about what Tiffany said.
"Arrogance huh." Said Merlin as she thought about her goals. That then made her think about the glare the Celestial spirt king sent her way.
' There's no way he knows what I'm planning, right?' Thought Merlin with a frown as she went back to work.
Elsewhere in the kingdom King sat on top of a large tower. He looked out at the kingdom as he saw the repairs being done to it. The kingdom was lucky their goal was mostly to rescue Elizabeth, so the damage was contained mostly to certain area.
"Helbram." Said King sadly as he brought out the helmet Helbram gave him.
These last few weeks have been hard for him. He first finds out that his kingdom, the one he failed to protect and was destroyed has been rebuild. But by Ban of all people. And he doesn't blame them for hating him. When they needed him the most he wasn't there. And he had to kill his best friend Helbram not once, but twice.
It was enough to make him wonder if he dissevered to be a king. It felt like he was failing in that role all over the place.
"Don't give up now." Said a voice that sounded like Helbram's confusing King.
"Helbram?" Said King confused.
But then he realized the voice was right. He came too far to give up now. He knew it was going to be a rough hard road, but it was one he had to travel. Rearguards how long it was going to take.
"Thanks Helbram." Said King as he attached the helmet to his hood and flew off.
But standing behind where he was, was a ghostly image of Helbram in his fairy form, grinning at King as he vanished.
Later that day the current members of the Seven Deadly Sins, Lucy and surprisingly Hawk stood before Barta along with his daughters. Around them stood normal knights and Holy knights. But the knights were whispering amongst themselves in harsh cold tones about the Sins.
"The Seven Deadly Sins." Started Barta as he looked at them all. "You protected the kingdom from a terrible threat, and so I am here to commend your efforts with a medal of honor."
"Objection!" Said Meliodas out of nowhere confusing everyone.
"What!?" Said everyone in the courtyard.
"I object to those medals of honor!" Explained Meliodas as even his own team gave him odd looks.
"W... What?" Said Bartra confused.
"Meliodas!?" Said Elizabeth equally confused.
"At least, that's what some folks here would like to say. Right?" Clarified Meliodas as he looked at the knights around him.
"There've been a few people whispering under their breaths. If you got something to say, then out with it. I'm all ears." Challenged Meliodas as the Sins agreed with him.
"Are you sure Meliodas?" Asked Lucy worried that something bad could happen.
"This needs to happen." Stated Meliodas.
"He's right there a lot of bad blood out there right now. Best to deal with it now." Agreed Ban as the others agreed with him.
Lucy said nothing as three knights walked forward.
The one in the middle has lavender hair that went to his shoulder and a matching mustache. He wore a pain shirt that went down to around his knees with a yellow jacket. He wore black pants with armoured boots that went to his knees. He wore forearms guards on each arm and had a sword on his hip.
The one on the right was a tall man as well as muscular. He had short hair and no eyebrows with the start of a bread on his chin. He wore an open green shirt with nothing underneath. Finally, he wore some drowns tripped pants.
The one on the left was a very short man but with a strong looking body. He had blond hair in a bob cut and a mustache. He wore a salmon-coloured shirt with a high collar and black pants.
"Hey those three work under the assistant Chief Holy knight Denzel. They're the Pleiades of the Azure sky." Said one knight in the crowd.
"Who?" Lucy asked King who could only shrugged as he didn't know either.
"Platinum Dogedo, Platinum Waillo, and Diamond Deathpierce." Continued the same knight as he introduced them.
"Hmm. I got the impression there were others who had complaints, but… either way, I guess just three of you are going to be honest about it. So, what can I do you for?" Asked Meliodas a tad disappointed that others wouldn't speak up.
"I want to see just how strong the legendary knighthood is that rescued the kingdom from evil! How about it? Captain of the Seven Deadly Sins, Meliodas." Asked Deathpierce with a small grin on his face.
"Sir Deathpierce! Please remember your place. You are in the audience of his highness!" A random knight yelled at him.
"Following those traitorous Chief Holy knights' plans, we were posted to the remote regions of the kingdom. Until I see firsthand what they are made of, I cannot condone their decoration." Stated Deathpierce as Meliodas and Bartra saw the determination in his eyes.
"Very well. Do as you wish." Said Batra as he knew this could help calm many knights worries.
"Father!" Said Elizabeth surprised by this.
"I appreciate it your highness." Said Deathpriece.
"I'll go first." Said Dogedo, the tall man, as she crake his knuckles.
"Magic:290, Force:470, Spirt:100, Combat class:860." Said Hawk randomly confusing nearly everyone around him.
"Who's the pig?" Asked Dogedo as he looked down at Hawk confused.
"Pardon his manners." Said Meliodas as he didn't see to mind Hawk butting in.
"That new earing the scraps captain is wearing… is an evil eye, is it not." Stated Gowther looking at the earing on Hawk's left ear.
Confused most of the Sins looked at Hawk's ear and saw what looked like a small eye with three curves curling out of it making a triangle.
"It's Baril's evil eye." Merlin told them confusing them.
"Baril's evil eye?" Repeated King, Diana, Lucy and Elizabeth confused.
"It's a magical item that breaks down a person combat power into Magic, Force, and Spirt. Add those three together shows a person's total combat power." Explained Merlin as they thought about it.
"Then what's mine?" Asked Lucy curious.
Hawk turned to her and gasped in surprise.
"Magic:500, Force:100, Spirt:750, Combat power:1350!" As he wasn't expecting that.
"Wait, what?!" Said Lucy as she wasn't expecting that either.
Dogedo looked at Lucy in shock as she was stronger than he was.
"I'll take him Captain." Said Ban getting back on track.
"You sure Ban I have no problem doing it." Said Meliodas.
"Yeah. This ceremony was getting boring." Said Ban looking bored.
"You ok with this?" Asked Meliodas looking at Dogedo.
"Is this an insult. I wanted the leader of the Sins not a flunky." Said Dogedo with a glare.
"Then shouldn't Deathpierce be the one fighting Meliodas?" Asked Hawk using Dogedo logic against him.
"The pig does have a point." Admitted one knight as others agreed with him.
"I see what you mean." Said Dogedo as he lost the support of his fellow knights.
"Don't hurt him too badly." Said Meliodas as he stepped away from them.
"I'll let you throw the first punch." Said Ban with grin on his face.
Seeing the grin made Dogedo furious as he unleashed a powerful punch at Ban. But when it got close Ban caught it easily.
"What!?" Said Dogedo in shock as he couldn't pull his fist back.
"I said you can throw the first punch, not that I would take it." Said Ban with a grin as he then punched Dogedo in the face while releasing his fist.
Dogedo flew through the air as he hit a wall. He then fell revealing an indent in the wall of his shape. Dogedo got up as he cracked his neck.
"Is that all?" Asked Dogedo with a grin.
"That was lighter than a mosquito bite. If that was all it took to defeat Hendrickson and Dreyfus, they must have been no big deal!" Declared Dogedo as this made everyone who dealt with the situation glare at him.
"Those two were nothing more than small fry stand ins after the sudden death of the former Chief Holy knight. They weren't actually cut out to be Chief Holy Knights! If I'd known I'd have said a requiem for the deceased." Mocked Dogedo as several knights wanted to deck him a new one.
That was when Elizabeth walked over to Dogedo and stopped before him. She then shocked everyone as she slapped him across the face.
"You dare call yourself a Holy Knight!" Declared Elizabeth surprising the Pleiades of the Azure sky with her action.
"You claim you be superior to everyone here, yet when we needed you all none of you were here!" Said Elizabeth making Dogedo take a step back in shock.
"And then you mock those who die! Tell me why you should be allowed to be a Holy knight!?" Demanded Elizabeth as her tone and words shocked everyone.
"Go Eli." Said Veronica proud of her.
"Your majesty…" Started Dogedo only for Deathpierce to put a hand on his shoulder.
"Dogedo the best thing you can do right now is to shut up." Warned Deathpierce as Dogedo then saw every knight in the area glaring at him.
"Fine." Said Dogedo as he stepped back.
"Princess, I know you have no reason to but please forgive Dogedo. All of us in the Pleiades of the Azure sky are upset that we failed the kingdom when we were needed the most. And we lost friends in the battle as well. So we're all dealing with that anger and shame in different ways." Said Deathpierce as he meant what he said.
Eilzabeth sighed as he wanted to punish Dogedo for his words. But they needed Holy Knights right now, to show the neighboring kingdoms that they weren't weak.
"Very well. But if I hear anymore of this talk from your knights there will be a punishment." Warned Elizabeth as Deathpeirce didn't doubt her.
"Thank you for your kindness princess." Said Deathpeirce as he turned and left with his group.
Once gone the knights started to clap for Elizabeth for standing up for them. Seeing this Bartra smiled as while he wouldn't handle things the way she did. But the result was better than he hoped.
And with that the ceremony went one and was over before they knew it. As the Sins were about to go their separate ways Meliodas spoke up.
"Hey can we have everyone meet up at the Boar hat in about an hour or so." Meliodas told the others confusing them.
"Why?" Asked King curious as he convinced Ban to take him to the new fairy forest and they were going to head out.
"Just a quick meeting." Answered Meliodas.
"Why not now?" Asked Diana confused.
"I have something I need to get done first, that needs to be done." Said Meliodas as the others were curious what he needs to get done.
"Sure." Said Merlin as she had nothing better to do.
"I will be there." Said Gowther.
Hearing that the other agreed as they then walked off. Seeing this Meliodas then headed into the castle. And before he knew it, he was in front of the horn of Cernunnos.
"Come out!" Order Meliodas in a serious tone and with a serious face.
But nothing happened making Meliodas mad.
"I know your there. Hawk told me about everything. How you said you bring back Ban's love if he killed me. Cause we both know that's a lie." Growled Meliodas only to be meet with more silence.
"Fine then." Was all Meliodas said as he drew his sword.
" What do you want monster?" Asked the spirt of the horn.
"That's rich coming from you." Said Meliodas as he put his sword away.
" I said what I must have to get rid of an evil like you." Countered the spirt.
"And if Ban did follow through, what would you have done then?" Asked Meliodas as he knew Ban's anger. But he was meet with silence again.
"That's what I thought." Said Meliodas.
" Like I said I had to do what I had to, to get rid of your kind." Said the spirt with venom in her tone.
"Don't act like your clan is so pure. I remember you executing prisoners in front of their loved ones." Growled Meliodas as his anger at the time was unmatched.
" We were just getting rid of vermin." Was all the spirt said as Meliodas was fuming.
"Don't let this scum get to you." Said a new voice. Confused Meliodas turned around and saw Loke there.
"Loke? What are you doing here?" Asked Meliodas confused.
"The Celestial spirt king wishes to talk with you. And for the collection of this sprit." Said Loke as he walked over.
" The coward king. I refuse to see him." Said the spirt.
"Like you have a choice." Said Loke as he placed a hand on the horn. He then held out his other hand to Meliodas.
"Shall we?" Asked Loke.
"I need to meet with the others soon. This won't take long will it?" Asked Meliodas curious.
"I can't say. I don't even know why the king wants to see you." Loke honestly told him.
Meliodas looked at Loke's hand and sighed. He owed the king for finishing the last fight so fast. Not that he couldn't have done it himself. But his way had major risks involved.
"Ok." Said Meliodas as he took Loke's hand and they all vanished.
When Meliodas looked around, he saw stars and planets all around him.
' What a world.' Thought Meliodas as he looked around in awe as it was nothing like the demon realm.
"Welcome." Greeted the Celestial spirt king as he stood before them.
" Oh the great coward king is here." Spat the spirt as the king just looked at the horn with pity.
"I did what I had to, to protect my realm and my people." Said the King as he wasn't sure if it was the best choice, but it was the choice he made.
" Said the coward." The spirt said as Meliodas gave the horn a quick jab.
"If keeping his people alive makes him a coward, then I hope more kings will be cowards." Said Meliodas making the king smile.
"Thank you Meliodas." Said the King as he turned to the horn. "I'll talk with you later."
And with that the horn vanished.
"Loke can we be left alone." Said the king.
"Sure." Said Loke as he jumped away.
"Thank you for coming Meliodas." Said the king as the planet they were on started to move.
"No problem." Said Meliodas curious where they were going as there was nothing near them.
"What are you going to do with the horn?" Asked Meliodas curious.
"Send it to a world where hopefully the spirt in there can't do anymore damage." Answered the king confusing Meliodas.
"There's more then four worlds?" Asked Meliodas as Merlin would love this.
"You see those stars out there. Nearly each one is a gate to another world." Said the king shocking Meliodas.
"Each star is a world you can access!?" Said Meliodas as he couldn't hope to count them all.
"Not all of them. Some gates are sealed shut by their worlds, others had to be destroyed due to the dangers of their worlds, while others ask to be left alone." The king told Meliodas as that was a lot to take in.
"I have so many questions right now. But I'll ask this. Why not try to separate the goddess and demon clans and put them into other worlds?" Asked Meliodas as that seems like the less bloody way.
"Meliodas do you really think those two would allow the other clan to leave your world or remain there alive?" Asked the king as Meliodas understood that.
"But I did hope that they would see reason, only for them to laugh in my face and for them to tell me to get lost." Said the King with a sigh.
"Why not try to relocate them by force?" Asked Meliodas as he's seen the king's power along with several spirts.
"I could have tried that. But do you really think that if I tried to move one of them by force the other wouldn't try to capitalize on that?" Asked the King as Meliodas sighed.
"They'd be all over it." Answered Meliodas as they take every chance they get.
"But now for the real reason I called you here Meliodas." Said the King making Meliodas curious.
"I know of your and Elizabeth's curses." Said the King as Meliodas eyes went wide.
That was when he remembered that the king said he was on the same level as his father and the supreme Deity.
"Can you break our curses?" Asked Meliodas hopeful as he was tired of this life.
"It's not that simply Meliodas." Said the King with a sigh.
"What do you mean?" Asked Meliodas as he wasn't sure if he should be furious or heartbroken.
"You may not realize this but the curses they placed on you two were made by both your father and the supreme Deity together." Said the king shocking Meliodas.
"I knew they worked together to curse us, but to mix their powers…" Trailed off Meliodas as he never thought they work together.
"I cannot undo both your curses as it would be too much for me." Stated the King as Meliodas understood.
"But I may be able to undo one of them." The king told Meliodas shocking him.
"Undo Elizabeth's." Said Meliodas without hesitation.
"I can, but I won't right now." Said the king making Meliodas glare at him.
"Why!?" Demanded Meliodas.
"Because it would be fatal to do so at this time." Siad the king as this caused Meliodas to calm down.
"What are you saying?" Meliodas asked him confused.
"When I break that curse all her memories will come flooding back into her. That alone will cause her mind to break. And that's not including her magic returning either." Explained the king making Meliodas sigh.
"Then why bring it up?" Meliodas asked himself defeated.
"Because she can trained to handle it." Answered the king making Meliodas look up at him with hope.
"It will be a long road. But after what I saw today and in the last battle she's well on her way." Continued the king bringing a new hope into Meliodas.
"How long will it take?" Asked Meliodas as he would make sure it would be shortened.
"I can't say. We all grow differently. And sometimes we grow faster in extreme situation." Said the King as Meliodas knew he was right.
"But with Lucy leaving how can I contact you?" Asked Meliodas worried.
"Use this to keep in touch with me." Said the king as he gave Meliodas a button.
"Press the button to talk to me. And when she's ready I'll bring you both here to break the curse." Explained the king.
"I don't have the words to say how thankful I am." Said Meliodas as he couldn't.
"Then as thanks make sure to keep your world safe for all clans. And we'll call it even." Said the King with a grin.
"I will do my best." Said Meliodas as it was a bit of a tall order.
"That's all I ask." Said the king as he knew it too.
"Let's send you home." Said the King as Meliodas vanished from his realm.
Meliodas then found himself in front of the Boar Hat. Shrugging he went inside to find all the Sins inside already.
"Diane!? Your human sized?" Said Meliodas surprised as Diana was sitting next to King.
"Yeah!" Beamed Diana happily.
"How?" Asked Meliodas curious.
"Remember that mushroom from the fighting festival? Well Merlin made a pill based of it's spore." Answered Diane as she was happy she could join everyone inside now.
"By the way captain your late." Said Ban a little annoyed.
"I am?" Said Meliodas surprised.
"Yes by about half an hour." Gowther told him.
"Oh." Said Meliodas not realizing he was in the Celestial spirt realm so long.
"Where were you anyway?" Asked Ban now curious.
"Meeting with an old friend who gave me some really good news." Meliodas told them keeping what it was about quiet.
The other Sins were curious, but they all agreed that they were entitled to their own secrets.
"So what did you want to talk to us about?" Asked Merlin curious.
"Well you see…" Started Meliodas as he told them.
The next day Lucy and Elizabeth were heading to the Boar Hat after they got a message from Meliodas to meet them there.
"What do you think this is about?" Asked Elizabeth curious.
"No idea." Admitted Lucy as he could need servers to anything else.
Soon they reached their destination and walked in. Inside they saw all the Sins minus King and Ban.
"Where's King and Ban?" Asked Elizabeth as they couldn't see them.
"They went to the fairy forest last night." Diane told them as part of her wished to go with them. But this was something King said he had to do on his own. Something she had to respect.
"I see." Said Elizabeth as she knew King had a huge challenge before him.
"So what did you need to see us about?" Asked Lucy curious.
"We had a meeting yesterday about you Lucy." Started Meliodas making Lucy nervous.
"Normally we need all seven members for this vote. But seeing how you're leaving soon, and we have no idea where Escanor is." Continued Meliodas making both girls curious to what was going on.
"So with a unanimous vote Lucy Heartfilia you are now an official member of the Seven Deadly Sins." Declared Meliodas shocking Lucy.
"What?" Was all Lucy could say dumbfounded.
"After everything you have done for us, your part of the team." Said Meliodas as Lucy didn't know what to say.
"Thank you." Was all Lucy could say as she never imagined this happening.
"Let's have a drink to celebrate." Said Meliodas as he went to the bar to get some drinks and glasses.
As he did the other Sins congratulated Lucy on joining them. Or at least until they heard a weird beeping noise.
"What's that?" Asked Diana confused.
"A problem." Said Merlin as she brought out a device that was flashing and beeping.
"What's going on?" Asked Meliodas as he stopped getting the drinks and walked over to them.
"I gave Arthur a device that would allow him to contact me, in case of an emergency." Explained Merlin as she never expected it to go off so soon.
"What's happening?" Asked Elizabeth worried.
"I don't know. This is just a prototype and doesn't including a way of communicating just yet." Merlin told them.
"Ok then let's go." Said Meliodas surprising Merlin.
"Are you sure captain?" Asked Merlin as they had no idea what was going on.
"Arthur helped us. It's time to return the favor." Stated Meliodas as the others agreed with him.
"Thank you." Said Merlin as she got ready to teleport the Boar Hat.
"You ok Lucy?" Asked Hawk as he walked into the room and saw a worried look on Lucy's face.
"I have a bad feeling about this." Said Lucy as she thought about her dream from a few days ago.
That was when the Boar Hat vanished as it headed to Camelot.
The Sins think the battle is over. But they're about to find that it hasn't even started yet. And I know I skipped over the part where Gowther and Diane fight. But I just didn't know how to include it in. And Lucy is now officially a member of the Seven Deadly Sins. And the Celestial spirt King has offered Meliodas a way to break the curse for Elizabeth. But right now she can't handle the strain.
And a huge shot out to Warmachine375 for making a Troupe page for this story. You can read it here. /Fanfic/TheSinsAndTheFairy
