The Red Demon Corpse

"What the..." Your eyes were wide as you stood on Diane's shoulder looking down at the decimated castle wall, Ban landed at the foot of the hole and as the smoke cleared, you all peered inside. You gasped as you spotted the gigantic red demon corpse hanging from the roof of the dungeon, hundreds of metal stakes in its arms and body to hold it off the ground. Its eyes were blank like pits and one of its horns had been ripped clean of its head.

"EWWW!" Diane cringed, "Its all flabby and gross!"

Gowther rocked on his ankles, "the magic emitting from the cadaver is identical to the demonic powers I felt from Dale and the New Generations" he looked up at the creature, "this is no doubt the source of it all".

"Diane, I've been meaning to ask" you patted the side of the giant's cheek to pull her attention away from the corpse, "where is Arthur?"

"I'm right here!" You hear his voice call from the cliff behind you all. You turn your head to glance over your shoulder and you spot the young king's auburn hair as he climbs up to you from the village below, "miss me?"

He grins and stands, resting his sword on his gold-armoured shoulder. 

"So demons really do exist" King caught your eye as he flew past you to see the monster's hanging body. 

"It all began 15 years ago, when I discovered him in the burned down Fairy Forest" Hendrickson curled his fingers around the handle of his sword. You stepped off the giant's shoulder and landed in a crouch. As you stood to your full height, Arthur was beside you.

You flicked your hand out to block a deadly vine of black energy as it had sped to rip through Arthur, it disappeared tunneling into your glowing palm. Then it retreated back into Hendrickson's body. The other sins had all blocked similar attacks, accept for Ban, who let it pierce right through his chest.

"The embodiment of demon powers?" Ban snickered, walking up the magic until his chest met the end of Hendrickson's arm, "then you cant win" he spit blood from his mouth onto the Holy Knight's arm. He flipped forward and kicked the Knight over the head, the ground cracked beneath them and Hendrickson's body disappeared down a holy, "I'M THE ONE THAT KILLED THAT LARD!"

"I feel a breeze" Gowther's back bent slightly as he examined the dark hole in front of all of you where Hendrickson had fell down from, "there must be a cave down there".

Meliodas flashed behind you with incredible speed and picked you up bridal style, one of his hands squeezing your boob as you yelped, "Well! Lets go!" He grinned and jumped down into the hole.

Diane fell to her knees, hands either side of the abyss in the rock, "wait you guys! I'm to big to go down there!"

"Stay up there and keep watch!" Meliodas called.

You looked up and cupped your hands either side of your lips, "Arthur you stay up there too you hear!"

"Got it!" Arthur laughed and turned to look up at Diane, "so... your the sin of envy I presume?"

Meliodas let you go and you felt the ground underneath your feet, "its pitch black down here"

Someone placed a thin over-shirt around your shoulders, you heard Gowther's voice behind you so it must've been him, "Ban, are you really going to flick a booger at the Captain?"

You heard Ban chuckle, "Gowther you can see?"

A thousand little blue plumes of flame magically appeared around all of you, illuminating the cavern. One hovered over your open hand and you realised Gowther had taken off his over shirt to put on you, leaving him only in his long sleeved singlet.

"Your Will of Wisps configuration sure is handy angel-cake" Meliodas winked at you and you twirled your hair with one finger shyly.

"Thanks Melio"

(8+ years ago)

Gowther walked into your bedroom in Liones to check up on you, since you had returned from a mission, you hadn't been looking well. Unfortunately, you hadn't been able to control a lot of your powers. Your Angel Sleep ability, for example, was no longer something in your control, others now became drawn to you, seeking a peaceful slumber.

Inside your room, he found you curled up with Meliodas; your foreheads pressed together, the only part of your bodies not covered with sheets. Beads of sweat on your feverish face as you wiggled your nose, feeling agitated in your rest.

"(Y/n)?" Gowther puttered over to your bedside, leaning his hands on his knees so he could look down on you both. The sin of lust was confused, there seemed to be more shapes under the sheets than just your two bodies. As his hand grabbed the corner of the sheet, he drew it back. 

Hidden under the sheets, were several other sleeping figures. Ban was pressed up against your back, his arm snacked around so his palm was flat against your stomach, under your shirt. King had his head against the back of Meliodas' blonde hair as he snored quietly, a bubble drawing in and out of his nose. He hugged himself, his Chastiefol no where to be found. Behind him, a shrunken Diane (human size now) had her chin resting in the crotch of the fairy's shoulder and neck, humming in her sleep.

Merlin had her arms slung around your shoulders, pressing her boobs against your back, Ban's head and shoulders smooshed between your back and her lower stomach. Next to her, a meek looking man with a moustache and glasses was lying flat on his back, snoring loudly.

Gowther was perplexed, "how odd for them all to be sleeping with you". The sin noticed the small bit of space where your slim legs had drawn away from Meliodas in your restless sleep, and he crawled over the bed to lie there. He slipped his body between you and the sin of wrath, holding his hands against his own chest, his face centimetres from your upper stomach, just above where your shirt had been drawn up by Ban's greedy hand.

The sin of lust pulled his glasses off his face and yawned, "why am I tired?" he smacked the side of his head lightly, "I don't get tired". Perhaps its due to this smell, this sweet aroma coming from you. He snuggled the side of his cheek into the mattress beneath him, closing his golden eyes.

"There is blood everywhere" Gowther looked around the large cave, pools of dried crimson decorated the stone ground.

"Oi Hendri!" Meliodas held a hand against him mouth as he called out, "quit hiding and come out!"

Ban spun his nun-chucks over his shoulder, boredly.

"Captain, there's something up ahead!" King called. 

Your face turned pale, a grey demon...

You totally missed what happened next, everything moved to fast and before you knew it, Ban's legs, the only part left of him, fell back to the ground. And in his place, a reformed Hendrickson now stood. Only he looked very different, his skin was grey like cement, horns sprouted from the top of his head, and small leathery wings from his back.

And then the climactic fight began.

(I've decided I'm going to skip the whole scene 'fighting Hendrickson' because its so long and boring to write, but I'll flashback to it in future chapters in smaller segments so you can enjoy it!)

You picked yourself up off the ground, reaching out to help Meliodas to his feet. After the use of his greatest power "Revenge Counter", he was completely battered, blood trickled down his body and he was covered in massive bruises and deep cuts. You hugged him to your chest, white symbols glowed and as you let the blonde go, all of his damage was healed instantly.

"I didn't know you could do that (Y/n)" he grinned sheepishly, you smiled.

"Sorry for using Divine Aura on you, even that was probably a bit much for your Revenge Counter". He patted you on the head.

"You did your best, I see Arthur gave you your ring back!" 

You looked down at the gem Stardust ring on your (left/right) hand, holding it up so the sun reflected off the gems and illuminated them, "yeah, it was my mother's after all, I'm not just going to desert it".

"Ahem"

You were caught off-guard by an elderly man's voice and you gazed over to the King, standing casually beside Merlin with a fist to his lips in a coughing motion. Elizabeth gasped and clutched her hands together happily, her goddess eye no longer glowing.

I have to talk to Elizabeth, now that I'm sure of what I saw during that battle.

"Father! Are you feeling better?" She smiled, you tucked Gowther's over-shirt into your soft shorts comfortably. 

"Merlin" Your eyes were wide, "I didn't think you had any healing magic?" You blinked, Arthur tackled you to the ground before you could hear the sin of gluttony's answer.

"Mum your ok" He peppered kisses all over the side of your face, "I was so worried because Merlin pulled me away to help her and I couldn't sense you or Meliodas".

Once he detached himself from you, Meliodas pulled you to your feet and Arthur hugged the blonde sin, "I thought you died" he said quietly.

Meliodas chuckled and patted the auburn-haired boy on his back, "yeah that's not gonna happen!"

The King began to talk to the Holy Knights that gathered around him to bow, pleading their apologies for trusting Hendrickson for so long. The King waved his hands, "Enough, now is the time for the Kingdom's Holy Knights to put all their efforts into reconstructing the Capital and aiding the people!" The Knights agreed with hopeful yells. "Hereafter, we will work with all our might to avoid a Holy War, and make sure that mistake is never made again!"

"By our swords!" The Holy Knights chanted, on their knees for their king.

"Meliodas and (Y/n)" The elderly King walked over to you both, resting a hand on each of your shoulders, "and the rest of you sins" he smiled, "I am forever in your dept."

"We just did what any good friend would do right!" Diane smiled.

Elizabeth looked fondly up at the giantess.

"Elizabeth" The King rested his hands on her forearms, "you were very strong. Thankyou for finding the Seven Deadly Sins all on your own. I'm very proud of you". Elizabeth broke down into tears.

"But its my fault that Hawk is dead!" She cried, "he was one of my closest friends".

Meliodas tried to comfort the girl as you and Ban walked over to Hawk's black, charred body. Ban poked the pig's side with his foot. "Master, I didn't mean those things I said".

You bent down and relaxed on your knees next to Hawk's body. Meliodas walked over to you and crossed his arms, "Hawk... if your quitting the bar on me, I'm not going to forgive you".

"Who's going to clean up all the leftovers in your place" you smiled and sniffed, wiping a tear from under your (E/c) eye.

Ban chuckled breathlessly, "this victory and all our spoils belong to the master. Right Cap'n?"

"Yeah. Now come back Hawk. I'll feed you three times as many leftovers".

"Don't forget those words now!"

All your eyes grew three times their size and as you reached to touch Hawk's body, it disappeared in a cloud of ash. Leaving behind a tiny pink thing in the grass.

Your face inched closer to the little moving thing, "Hawk? Is that you"

The now tiny-pig lifted up his head and snorted mist into your face, "Yep!"

"Hawk!" Elizabeth leaned over Meliodas as the sin crouched down. Ban was on his hands and knees in shock, inspecting the small pork creature, "you alive?!"

"Looks like it"

"MASTER!" The sin of greed tossed the tiny pig high into the air in excitement, "This is the best! I don't believe it!!"

Meliodas gave the pig a thumbs up and you hugged Ban, laughing. Elizabeth tapped the Captain on the shoulder and she wrapped her arms around him, "your always doing crazy things, Sir Meliodas".

He smiled and closed his eyes.

You pinned Ban to the ground, grinning in triumph, "got you!"

He smirked devilishly, "nah, I win!" He held up a black bra, you screamed and flew off him.

"So are you going to be joining us again Merlin?" You asked, brushing down the pale pink dress you had been given by one of the castle maids, to replace your damaged clothes.

The Boar Sin of Gluttony smiled and fixed her lipstick with a swipe of her thumb over her lip, "yes, of course. And I have a surprize for you".

Before you could ask what, you were on the ground and two identical bodies hovered above you, both wearing identical clothing and smiles on their auburn-haired heads. 

"Hi mum!" "Hi mum!"

TWO ARTHUR'S?!?!

TO BE CONTINUED MY LOVES!!!!
