POV: Y/n

Elizabeth, Hawk, Meliodas and Diane were wrapped in lightning, I wasn’t hit because I could see it coming down.

???: We finally meet, Sin…

Diane: This power… He’s…!!

Meliodas: Yeah… no mistake about it, he’s a Holy Knight.

Me: Gilthunder! Why have you betrayed the King?

Meliodas: Wait that’s Lil’ Gil?

Gilthunder: Y/n? I thought I sensed your power, is it possible I miscalculated my aim.

Me: You miscalculated your speed. That lightning was too slow. I don’t see why the others were caught.

Meliodas: That lightning was traveling too fast for us to react.

Gilthunder: I see you trained your reflexes to make up for a lack of magic.

Elizabeth: Gilthunder! Why have you done this? You treated my like a real little sister… you are like a big brother to me…!

Meliodas: Hey… this lightning, the dammed river at Bernia, and the attempt to wipe out the village… it was all you, right?

Elizabeth: Lord Meliodas!! That’s a terrible thing to say!! He’s not the kind of person who would do such a…

Me: HE IS LADY ELIZABETH! If it wasn’t him, I could have pulled his sword out more if it had been any other Holy Knight, I’m sorry Lady Elizabeth but Gilthunder isn't the the same anymore.

Gilthunder: Elizabeth… the Kingdom’s top priority is to ensure your safety.

Me: It is my duty and you will not harm her!

Gilthunder: That has nothing to do with me. Whether she lives or dies… is like a grain of sand in the path to the Holy Knights’ rule. I will release the princess I only care about the Sins.

Me: I will not let you harm the Sins!

POV: Elizabeth

I saw Y/n charge at Gilthunder trying to kill him. Gilthunder tried to fight back, but Y/n was able to make it behind him and attack

Gilthunder: Gaah! How did you?

Y/n: You’re too slow!

Gilthunder: Grr. RAITEI NO SHUKUSEI! [Purge of the Thunder Emperor!]

Gilthunder then swung his sword in the air in a slashing manner. He then placed his hand to his blade as lightning then approached Y/n and he was surrounded but right before it hit him he disappeared and struck Gilthunder.

Y/n: Just speed up.

Gilthunder: HOW ARE YOU DODGING MY ATTACKS!

Meliodas: I think Y/n has unlocked his magic, Speed!

Gilthunder: If that’s the case, RAITEI NO SENDO! [Fast Movement of the Thunder Emperor!]

Gilthunders movements were enhanced as he was almost able to disappear when running, Y/n did the same, only it wasn’t as fluent as Gilthunders, with Y/n poping in and out of the fight.

Gilthunder: H...how are you faster than me!

POV: Y/n

Me: Why are you after the Seven?

Gilthunder: Fine, you won’t live to tell the tale. Some say it’s because the Holy Knights want to purge the Traitorous knights who tried to overthrow the kingdom… while others say it’s because we want prove our strength by fighting the Legendary Seven.

Me: I was the later, which are you?

Gilthunder: I am both. I seek revenge for killing my father, the Great Holy Knight Zaratras, who was once called the strongest Holy Knight. And by killing all of you, I can prove that I am the stronger than my father.

Meliodas: You sure have grown in ten years Lil’ Gil.

Gilthunder: That’s all in the past, I’m stronger than any of you Sins, now.

Me: HAHAHAHA, You can’t even hit me!

Meliodas: That might be true, but you don’t know that for sure.

Gilthunder: … Then I’ll let you go and we’ll see.

Meliodas: Nah, don’t bother.

Meliodas and Diane then broke free from there electric shackles, to the shock of us all.

Me: Don’t tell me you could have done that earlier.

Gilthunder: If I felt like it, I could wipe you out along with the entire forest.

Meliodas: Hmmm… That’s impossible.

Gilthunder: Then I’ll kill you.

Meliodas: Right back at you. Diane, Y/n please don’t interfere.

Me: Only if you are on the verge of death.

Gilthunder: Are you too embarrassed to lose a fight, even if it’s three against one?

Meliodas: I’m trying to be polite here. I hope I can get some information out of you at some point.

Meliodas and Gilthunder then got into fighting stances, Gilthunder still had his sword drawn and Meliodas placed his hand on the hilt of his sword. Lightning struck as their swords clashed. Meliodas was able to redirect the lightning into Gilthunder.

Meliodas: Didn’t I say? Right back at you.

Gilthunder then approached from behind Meliodas, the lightning gathered at the tip of his blade.

Gilthunder: Didn’t I say? I’ll kill you.

Gilthunder then slashed Meliodas knocking him to the floor, breaking his satchel and sheathe. I started to run in but Diane topped me from entering.

Me: Meliodas is dying, I can help him!

Gilthunder: Y/l, you still have much to learn, it is wise to not rush to your demise. Meliodas, the Dragon’s Sin of Wrath, any last words?

Meliodas: The other… s… the other Sevens… the rest of our group… I wanted to know what happened to them.

Gilthunder: Very well. Of the remaining five, the whereabouts of three are remain unknown. … but we already know where the other two are. The Fox’s Sin of Greed is imprisoned in the Baste dungeon, and the Grizzly’s Sin of Sloth perished in the Capital of the Dead.

Meliodas: Thanks! Ho.

Meliodas then jumped to his feet as if nothing happened.

Me: REALLY?!?!

Meliodas: So the Grizzly’s Sin is in the Capital of the Dead…? Thanks Lil’ Gil! We’ll pay them a visit!

Gilthunder: … I see. You let yourself be hurt in order to find out where your allies were…

Meliodas: We’ll continue this at some other time… Alright?

Gilthunder: As if.

Gilthunder then slashed at Meliodas, but I jumped in redirecting the attack to the ground.

Me: You’re fighting me now!

As I was fighting Gilthunder every attack seeming to go at a snail’s pace. I decided to maneuver myself towards Diane in the hopes she would throw him away. When I was within two meters I stopped and let Gilthunder swing at my neck.

Gilthunder: I have you now!

Me: Nope! Lady Diane, if you please.

Diane: This is for the Captain!

Diane then grabbed Gilthunder and prepared to throw him.

Gilthunder: Release me…! That is an order Giant!

Gilthunder then tried to use his magic and shock Diane.

Diane: I thought I told you that “shocking” men aren’t popular with girls?

Gilthunder: B… bad joke.

Diane then threw Gilthunder as far as she could, but destroying her gauntlet in the process.

Me: Lady Diane, if it makes you feel better, I thought it was funny. Oh, Meliodas, take this, it should help with that wound.

I pulled a green health incantation orb off my gauntlet, so that Meliodas could heal.

Hawk: HEY, YOU!! You’ve got a lot of nerve messing with me!! You bastard pig IT’S MY TURN NEXT!!

Elizabeth: Are you three alright?

Meliodas: … What do you mean your turn, bastard pig?

Hawk: Huh? Where’s that bastard pig…!?

Me: Hawk, you’re the only pig in the area, heck, we haven’t seen many pigs in general.

Elizabeth: Lord Meliodas… What about that wound?

Me: I gave him a healing orb

Meliodas: Oh… it’s no big deal

Elizabeth then moved closer to the wound to see if she could do something.

Elizabeth: But you’re bleeding so much!

Diane: He… hey, don’t get so touchy with the Captain!!

Hawk: I’m injured too! He really kicked my ass!!

Me: Let’s head back to the bar, we can discuss our next steps.

Meliodas: Sounds good, come on Diane.

We were standing outside the Boar Hat as Momma Hawk was walking along our path next to Diane who was too big to fit in the bar. Meliodas was showing Diane their wanted posters.

Meliodas: The Fox’s Sin, Ban, was thrown into a dungeon… and the Grizzly’s Sin, King, is dead and buried… Diane… what do you think?

Diane: I don’t care… I have no interest in men other than the Captain. Enough about that! Look! I’ve become such a fine woman during thee ten years!

Meliodas: That wanted poster is just a sketch… I only kept it just in case.

Me: Meliodas, if I may intrude, I know Ban is in Baste Dungeon, I can go ahead and see if I can get him out, and if I can’t we can break him out.

Meliodas then jumped off of Diane’s shoulder, much to her disappointment.

Meliodas: Alright! I’ve decided! Let’ go pick up Ban at BASTE DUNGEON first!!

Diane: Alright!!

Me: I’ll tell Jericho that I am coming, you guys can wait for my cue.

Meliodas: Sounds like a good plan, just don’t be gone during the lunch rush.

Hawk: Wait, why exactly are we going to Baste Dungeon first? We have a source in there, but we don’t entirely know where this King is.

Meliodas: Baste Dungeon is closer to our current position than the Capital of the Dead.

Hawk: That’s it!? Even if that Holy Knight was telling the truth, isn’t this like jumping into the lion’s den?

Meliodas: Either way, someone’s keeping track of our movements. Lil’ Gil even went out of the way to find us in a forest that Holy Knights are supposed to avoid.

Diane: That’s… true… You’re so smart, Captain!

Hawk: Well we have a Holy Knight in our party! Maybe he’s to blame!

Me: Look, Pig! My loyalty remains to the King, and Princess Elizabeth. If she believes that the Seven can save our Kingdom, then I will do whatever it takes for her goal to succeed.

Elizabeth then stepped out of the bar.

Elizabeth: STOP ARGUING!

Me: *Kneeling* Yes Milady.

Elizabeth: I… I’m against… this!!

This grabbed everyone’s attention.

Elizabeth: Instead of going to the dungeon, shouldn’t we treat your wound first? If you fight a Holy Knight with a body like that…!!

Meliodas then hid under Elizabeth’s dress. Getting looks of disapproval from Diane.

Meliodas: Maybe I’ll get better if I do this.

Hawk: That’s a lie!!

Me: If you weren’t a Sin, I would kill you!

Meliodas: Elizabeth, Don’t worry. It’s nothing. I’ll be fine once I get some rest. Good night. Before I forget, Y/n, when did you unlock your speed.

Me: I don’t think it’s speed, I was still faster than Gilthunder when he used his magic, but something strange did happen every time he swung,

Diane: What happened?

Me: Time seemed to… uh… slow down… every time I saw his blade moved to attack, I thought I could use my shield, but I think it’s busted, it won’t open, I’ll work on it in a second.

Elizabeth: That explains why you kept appearing and disappearing

Meliodas: Maybe instead of Speed it is Temporal Dilation. We can test it tomorrow after getting Ban.

Me: I’ll go join him, I’ll write my letter and get some rest, we have a big day tomorrow.

I went to walk inside the bar, but as soon as I opened the door, I noticed that Meliodas was on the floor. His sword was in his hand and there was some blood on the floor.

Me: Guys! I think Meliodas is dying, there’s blood on the floor, we need to hurry to the nearest village!

POV: Jericho

I was guarding the prisoner wondering when Y/n will come to the dungeon.

Guard: Apprentice Holy Knight Jericho, did you hear about what happened to Fort Solgales?

Me: No, I don’t think so.

Guard: Really? It was reduced to a mountain of rubble in a single night.

Me: H… how? It took forever to build this place.

Guard: Supposedly, the Captain of the Seven Deadly Sins did it!

Me: I… I thought he was dead! This is bad!

Guard: We have one locked behind this door, is he going to try and leave? Is it going to be alright?

Me: Don’t be so scared, this dungeon is a fort built in preparation for battles to come. It won’t be conquered or destroyed so easily, even by the Seven Deadly Sins. Besides, we have four Holy Knights chosen from the best of the kingdom, I was a Holy Knight, until demoted, the Weird Fangs are here…!! Plus, I have a friend coming in to help us get some information out of this Sin. So there’s no way anyone would take such a huge risk just to save this man.

Guard: Yeah, that sounds right.
