POV: Y/n

Me: *Whispers* "Follow my lead King"

King: "Okay? Why am I doing this?"

Jester: "Follow me to be registered we'll get to the fight from there."

Me: *whispers* "Use a fake name for safety, I've already been identified."

King: "Okay. What do you have planned?"

Jester: "Turns around with a clipboard* "Name, height and weight. Both of you."

Me & King: "Okay."

After about five minutes King and I had filled out the paperwork and we were brought to the arena and stood on opposite sides.

Jester: "In this side we have Harlequin! Standing at 5.4 Feet and only weighing 5 pounds. Good lord you're small."

Me: "I didn't think you were so small."

Jester: "And in the other side we have Y/n! Standing at 5.10 feet and weighing 145 pounds. May the best fighters win!!!!!!!!"

I activated Time Step and dashed in to King smashing him towards the edge before knocking him down into the floor and ending my magic.

Me: "What's wrong Harli? Don't want to fight back?"

King: "Shut up." *throws a weak punch*

I activated Time Step as King made contact with my torso and threw him towards the other edge and dashed to the other end, waiting for him to reach me. When he reached me I grabbed his face, slammed him into the ground, and ran to the center. I left him there and got back to where I started. I ended my magic and waited for King to stand up.

Me: "Hit me with everything you've got. This'll be the last chance you'll get."

King: "You're asking for it!!!" *Rushes at me*

As King got close I activated my magic around myself and him.

Me: "They won't hear us King. Tell me, why are you joining the fight?"

King: "You'll find out when I beat you!" *Weakly punches me*

Me: "You're doing this for Diane aren't you? Getting on her good side? Flirting? I can't blame you, if Jericho was here I'd do what I can. Very well. Use my magic to your advantage."

I ended the magic around me as King surprisingly punched me a few dozen times and I was sent flying out of the arena. I activated my magic as I hit the ground and ran back to the Boar Hat, trying to avoid contact with the others.

When I got there, I only found Diane's clothes lying on the ground. I looked around and couldn't find any of them inside the bar. I was panicking and continued to walk around for about half an hour until I felt a large power source heading towards the town.

Me: "Fuck..."

I activated Time Step, quickly threw on my armor and weapons, and dashed all the way to town, stopping by Hawk as the Meliodas, King, Ban and Diane [who was small] stood on the arena.

Meliodas: "Get your sorry asses out of Byzel in one minute. Or else, we the Seven Deadly Sins, will massacre every one of you!!

Elizabeth: *faintly* "Yo, you guys... what's gotten into you guys?"

Me: "Elizabeth, I don't know where you are, but know that this village is in danger from others, if we don't fight. Everyone here could die."

Meliodas: "GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!"

Me: *Jumps before them* "DUMBASSES LEAVE I'LL HOLD THEM OFF! I'M A HOLY KNIGHT RUN NOW AND YOU MIGHT LIVE!!!"

Villager: "LOOK IN THE SKY!"

As I looked into the sky I saw fireballs flying towards the village, some aimed at the arena bust most aimed at random homes. I saw Meliodas use Full Counter on one of the fireballs.

Meliodas: "Damn, they're already here."

I looked up and saw Guila, Jericho, and an unknown knight in red armor on two manta-like creatures. I couldn't tell what Jericho was wearing, but it looked different than normal.

Me: "Fuck, she's here. Well, I couldn't run forever. Even though I brought her up half an hour ago."

Villagers: "It's our lords, the Holy Knights!!! They've come to save us all!! Please hurry and defeat the Seven Deadly Sins!!!!! Who do they think they are, reflecting the lord Holy Knight's attack like that?"

I heard one other villager start to speak reason before Ban scared them all off by threatening to feed them to the pig. I thought I heard Elizabeth speak, but her voice was covered by the screams of the villagers as they fled the town.

Meliodas: "They're better equipped, on par with the level of Sacred Treasures. And they're probably incomparably stronger than the Guila back at the Capital of the Dead. And this time there's three of them. We need to split up for now!!"

Me: "I'll try to get the remaining villagers out of here, and once that's done, leave Jericho to me."

I activated Time Step and ran around the town grabbing what villagers I could and putting them closer to the outskirts. I was runnin in the upper sections when I noticed two people I didn't expect to see. Ending my magic I hit behind a stone and listened to Princess Veronica and Griamor as they spoke.

Veronica: "This is earlier than what we planned! They got started even though we haven't found Ellie yet. How dare they!!"

Griamor: "If I may, we have found Y/n so she must be nearby."

Veronica: "Even still, we need to find Ellie and protect her!"

Griamor: "Understood!!"

I activated Time Step and ran back to town, trying to find anyone to explain what I found out. I ended my magic trying to find anyone, thinking I saw Ban walk around a corner. I piped up only to be slammed into a wall.

Me: *spitting up blood* "What the?"

Jericho: "I've waited for a long time for this." *Stabs her blade into my chest below my heart* "Does it hurt? I'm just going to carve my name into your heart, where it belongs."

POV: Meliodas

I stood on the arena facing down Guila as King, Diane, Ban, and Y/n had left to do their own things during the attack. I could tell Guila got stronger, not just because she had new armor and a new sword, looking more like a lance than a rapier.

Guila: "It's been a while Meliodas."

Me: "Yo, Guila. What's the occasion?"

Guila: "The events of the Capital of the Dead a while back were very instructive. I'm here today for more learning opportunities."

Me: *reaching for my blade* "You mean opportunities for revenge? It doesn't really matter. I'll fight you."

Guila: "Nope, it won't even be a fight anymore!"

Guila held out her lance as a volley of explosive balls left and surrounded me, looking like minefield before me.

Me: "It doesn't look like they'll attack... but if I make a wrong move and touch them they'll explode... is that it? It'll be annoying, but I'll have to get rid of them all!!" *Dashes towards Guila*

Guila: "Oh, I'd be careful if I were you." *Explosion goes off and launches me to another* "They'll go off on their own. And the first explosion will trigger multiple explosions depending on where you go. It traps the target in a cage of infernos. Chain explosion!! Oh, that's right, there was something I meant to tell you.... The haircut you gave me, the person most important to me complimented it. Thank you."

POV: King

I flew around the damaged city looking for any survivors as I heard the large explosion from the edge of town where Captain was. I saw the announcer crawling on some rubble before going down to get him.

Me: "I have to hurry, I'm pretty sure that was Guila."

Announcer: "Whoooaa, my back. It's completely out!!!!"

Me: *Picks him up* "You don't need to keep announcing!!"

POV: Diane

Me: "Captain, Elizabeth, stay safe!"

I ran towards where Gideon was stored so I could use it to defend the town, but it wasn't where I thought it would be.

POV: Y/n

I stared into Jericho's eyes as she slowly pushed her blade deeper into my chest. Her eyes seemed hollow and empty, but had a strange fire to them.

Me: "J-jericho, w-why are you doing this??"

Jericho: "Don't you remember what you did to me, what YOU SAID TO ME at Baste!??"

Me: "I told you I liked you." *Has the blade pushed deeper inside and winces in pain*

Jericho: "YOU TOLD ME I WAS TOO WEAK, THAT I WAS A PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A HOLY KNIGHT, AND THAT YOU HATED ME!!!"

Me: "I could never hate you Jericho. You've been my best friend since we were kids. I've always looked to you as my rival and my best friend."

Jericho: "LIAR!! I HEARD WHAT YOU SAID, I KNOW WHAT I HEARD. YOU MADE ME EVEN MORE POWERFUL, AND I WILL SHOW YOU HOW POWERFUL I'VE BECOME!!"

Me: "Jericho," *coughs up blood** "I-i know what I said, and I believe you need to hear this. Y-you are the light-t of my world, and I know you won't believe me, but I-i love you." *Pulls in Jericho for a kiss*

As I kissed Jericho, I felt the blade start to fall out of my chest as what felt like ice surrounded my wound as ice formed on the side of Jericho's face like a tear forming from her eyes. I activated Time Step and kicked her away, a tear in my eye as I smashed down a healing orb on my gauntlet allowing it's magic to heal my wound. I scanned over her armor, though a bit faster around her chest as her cleavage was out. Around her neck was a green incantation orb so she could heal herself.

Me: "Sorry Jericho," *coughs up last bit of blood* "Your name's already on my heart, just not the way you were going to put it there. And if I have made you more powerful," *activates shield and draws sword* "Show me how strong you've become."

Jericho: "I'll show you the power of a reactor! Godspeed Cross Slash!!!!!!!"

I activated Time Step as I watched Jericho deliver countless slashes like how we were taught in training by Dreyfus. I made my way closer to Jericho and grabbed the incantation orb on her neck removing it before stepping back and deactivating my magic.

POV: Jericho

I watched Y/n get close to me before jumping back. And preparing a strong attack.

Y/n: "Piercing Stab! Allow me to show you what I was taught!"

I watched as Y/n dashed towards me and stabbed, missing me by an inch as I countered by stabbing his sternum.

Me: "You missed fool."

Y/n: "No I didn't. Ban, you need to stay out of this."

Ban: "Noooowwww, where's the fuuuuun in that?"

Y/n: "This isn't about fun, Ban. It's about honor, something you seem to lack."

Me: "STAY BACK BASTARD!" *Freezes ban in ice up to his head* "W-what? I can do this?"

Y/n: "Seems you've unlocked you magic. Let's give it our all!"

Me: "My rage towards you pushed me to a new step in my career." *Wipes Y/ns blood over my lips* "Allow me to show you the woman you've made me."

POV: Y/n

I activated Time Step and ran towards Jericho, flipping my blade over to use it non-lethally. I started to swing for her arm as I saw Ban free himself and start to rush Jericho. I tackled her out of the way, and ended my magic to stop Ban.

Ban: "I'm FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! Oh come on!"

Me: "Ban. Do not interfere."

Ban: "Fuckin spoil sport."

POV: Jericho

I was flung back after Y/n dashed towards me before standing between me and Ban before I watched an explosion launch Meliodas towards Ban and Y/n, having them be picked up by his momentum.

Guila: "Are you done with your boyfriend Jericho? Oh, what happened to your lips?"

Me: "Fuck off, he's not my boyfriend. Besides, I was just getting warmed up."

Guila: "Same here, but delivering the final blow to one of the Sins is just a perk of the mission."

Me: "Besides the main enemy we need to be wary of is still remaining. I should be able to freeze these idiots in no time."

I held out my hand, attempting to freeze the three in place, but I couldn't get my magic to work.

Me: "Oh com on, I cannot have performance anxiety."

???: "Heeeeey, Captaaain!!! Everyone's done evacuating!!!" *Yawns loudly* "What a chore. Huh? Captain!? Ban! Y/n? What happened to you three?"

Guila: "Jericho, it's him, that's King."

Guila then aimed her lance in the air and sent up a volley of explosive balls in an attempt to kill King. She surrounded him in a minefield of her explosions before setting off the Chain Explosion and having the recoil send her closer to the ground. As the smoke faded, as swirl of cyan and silver was revealed, which shrouded King from the damage. I jumped up and made an attack at King. I had knocked down a number of the small blades before getting an opening to strike his back, but I felt the flat of a blade send me into the ground after it caused me to land on my back, knocking the wind out of me. I weakly watched Guila send another volley of explosions at King. Snapping his fingers he turned his spear into small blades which targeted Guilas explosion sending it back to her causing us both to lose consciousness.
