POV: Y/n

As I handed him the orb, and he threw it down, I heard a faint cough. But it wasn't coming from Elizabeth. It came from Ruin, the man I thought I killed. Meliodas still had Elizabeth in his arms as Ruin swung at him.

Ruin: HE WHO STRIKES FIRST WINS!!!

Ruin was able to knock Meliodas away from Elizabeth and darted after him trying to kill him, is if I wasn't his target.

Ruin: To think that you would show your back to an enemy during a fighty... the Seven Deadly Sins sure have lost their edge.

Me: How are you still alive!? I split your gut wide open!

Ruin: I was healed by the incantation orb. This is ridiculous... to think that the Kingdom is terrified of such a small child.

Ruin had Meliodas held by the head, but Meliodas punched Ruin sending him straight to the dungeon, spooking everyone in the area, I could barely hear the people, but I think they were scared of Meliodas and what he could do. I could tell they were fighting because the dungeon started shaking. I knew the fight was over when I heard Ruin laughing.

Me: Diane! Please take care Elizabeth, I'm heading back to help Meliodas.

POV: Ban

Me: ~cough~ gaha.

Jude: Is it painful? Didn't I say it already? Fox's Sin Ban... you've already fulfilled your role.

Me: Do you know why I was captured by you five years ago?

Jude: Hmph, you say it like you got captured by me on purpose.

Me: Back then... I wanted pain. I wanted the feeling of pain that would make me feel aliiiiive. But I'm already sick of it. Your pain.

Jude: Wha....

I then stabbed Jude with the spike after pulling it out of my chest.

Me: Since now I knoooow that Cap'n is alive... if he's alive, then more stuff will happen, right? There's no reason for me to stick around in this boring place anymore!!

Jude: You... you... are you plotting the same thing you did ten years ago... to overthrow the kingdom!?

Me: Overthrow the kingdom? Oh yeah, there was something like that.

Jude: Ku... kuku... just try to do something like that... This time, for sure... every single Holy Knight in the kingdom will... declare all-out war on the Seven Deadly Sins!!

Me: Sounds exciting.

POV: Y/n

Diane and I had finished killing the bug-like holy knight.

Me: Squished like a bug. Bad joke, okay.

Diane: You tried.

I then ran over to Elizabeth and knelt beside her, making sure she was still alive.

Me: Elizabeth, I didn't know, I'm sorry, if only I was able to help you.

Diane: Move over. We have to take her to the town right away.

Elizabeth: Wait... please... take me to Baste with you... where Lord Meliodas... and Lord Ban... are...

Diane: Princess, alright then, we'll go together... it'll be a bumpy ride, but you can rest inside my bag...

I then noticed a man walking away as if he didn't want to be seen.

Me: HEY! You, stranger, aren't you a soldier from Baste, you look familiar.

Man: I only came because I was ordered by Lord Holy Knight to play along with this!!

Hawk: So you think this isn't your fault at all!?

Man: Ah... no... a little...

Hawk: The location of the captured Sin in the dungeon, and the doctor's daughter... let's hear it!

Me: That won't be necessary Hawk. I've already gathered the locations of both Ban and the Doctor's daughter, although at the time, I was unaware of who she was.

Man: Thank goodness, that means I will live!

Me: Oh, no no no, my good man, you won't live. Even if I told them you were innocent, they will hunt you down, no matter where you go.

After a bit of walking, we met up with Meliodas outside of the dungeon.

Meliodas: So Y/n, did you find out where Ban is?

Me: yeah, both he, and the Doctor's daughter are in the round building on the right side, that is, if they haven't moved.

Meliodas: What do you mean?

Me: Ban was entering into a fray at the time, so he may not be in the same area.

Meliodas: By the way, where's Elizabeth? Is she back at Dalmary?

Diane: She said she wanted to go with you, captain. She's sleeping inside here.

Meliodas: thanks, Elizabeth.

After discussing that and fighting, well, more of scare off, some knights, we entered the dungeon in search of our two guests.

Diane: It sure is empty in here.

Meliodas: It's probably because their boss was sent flying.

Hawk: What a cowardly bunch.

Me: This is just the entrance, it's odd that I can't hear anybody. Now that I think about it, it was fairly empty earlier today.

I thought I heard Jericho speaking outside to someone else but I wasn't sure. I went back towards the entrance to see if I could find anyone. I could see a knight holding something up, but I couldn't hear what he was saying. I saw the knight throw down something, likely an incantation orb since after it hit the ground, a weird field appeared and headed towards the dungeon.

POV: Meliodas

Y/n: Time Step!

Hawk: Did Y/n abandon us! I guess I heard a cue for him to leave us!

Me: Hawk calm down, I'm sure Y/n has his reasons.

POV: Y/n

Knight: It was a last resort, in case we couldn't stop the Seven Deadly Sins from breaking in. Even ten Tyrant Dragons couldn't destroy this magical containment barrier.

Jericho: Ty- Tyrant Dragons! Those wild, uncontrollable monsters that could level a town on their own and ten of them.

Me: This could be a problem. Hey Knight! You missed one!

I then ran out and slashed at the knight, turning around and first seeing the dungeon get covered with a weird blueish purple energy field. I then saw Jericho rushing in to strike me. I activated my shield blocking her attack as I pushed her away.

Me: You're not my target Jericho!

I then had an idea to get rid of the knight in front of me. I placed my hands on the knights head.

Knight: Unhand me traitor!

Me: Corrosion!

As I said that I created a bubble around just the knight's armor and it started to rush as time sped up in that bubble.

Knight: Your attack had no effect!

Me: No, it worked. You just can't see the results. Let my help you with THAT!

I then threw an uppercut at the knight knocking him on the ground and his helmet flew off, cutting his cheek on the way. The knight then went invisible. I then waited for him to step close to me, I closed my eyes and listened

I heard steps and the sound of rusted metal from behind me so I jumped up and swung down bringing myself into the ground, knocking dust and blood into the air. When the dust settled, I saw the knight dead.

Jericho: Y/n! You murderer!

As Jericho shouted that she rushed at my swinging her sword at my head. I blocked her attack and parried her sword out of her hands. I threw my short sword and shield away so I wouldn't use them on Jericho.

Jericho and I then starting fighting with our fists. She managed to knock me to the ground and when she jumped on top of me, she spoke with each punch.

Jericho: Why did you kill him? Why did you tell my I was too weak! I should've let you die in that cell!

I then grabbed her arms and rolled over, placing her on the ground and myself on top of her. I made sure to pin her arms down to stop her from punching me.

Me: I killed him in self defense. I never said you were too weak, I said I liked you. I'm sorry that I've hurt you!

Just then the dungeon started falling apart. Some of the knights started running away. From the rubble I could see Meliodas and the prisoner I was with talking, I then saw Diane holding someone.

Me: Jericho, take your troops, and run. I don't want to know what these guys will do to you. I'll see if I can hold them off.

Jericho: How can I trust what you say?

Me: I had the chance to kill you and I didnt take it. I don't want you getting hurt.

Jericho: Fine. Men, those of you who remain, retreat, we have lost this battle.

I ran off as Jericho gave that order, I grabbed my weapons before reaching my comrades.

Meliodas: Y/n, where did you go?

Me: I thought I heard something, I went to check it out. Turns out that it was a Holy Knight that could go invisible. I slayed him after rusting his armor.

Ban: And the brat?

Me: Fled, I won't kill her.

Meliodas: Let's just return to Dalamary. I think the doctor should be fine by now.

Me: We can get him to look at Elizabeth, I dont know if I have any more incantation orbs, well, health ones at least.
