Poetic Reunion
(Y/n): Tch... pathetic.
You didn't even need to unsheathe your weapon as the soldiers either ran from Meliodas or turned tail as you approached the building. Then again you were quite the sight to behold. Your armor in tatters splattered in your own blood as well as others. Your slicked back hair dripping crimson down your face. You finally reached the towering structure to find that knight from before critically injured.
(Y/n): Meliodas is taking all the fun.
You pouted slightly. Turning you continued to look for a proper entrance until you found what seemed like a large set of stairs leading to an opening.
Meliodas: Hey (N/n)! Do something with your hair?
(Y/n): Why yes actually. Have you secured the area?
Meliodas: Yeah. All those other knights ran off after a beat that guy.
(Y/n): Then let's continue on. I told Diane and Hawk to take Elizabeth back into to-
Diane: Hold it right there!
You turned to the massive girl as her rumbling footsteps grew closer.
(Y/n): What are you doing here? And where is Elizabeth?!
Diane pulled her bag from behind and held it up to show you its contents. Inside housed the injured princess.
(Y/n): I thought I told you to take her back to town!
Diane: I tried to take her, but she insisted that she come with us.
(Y/n): We need to keep her safe!
Meliodas: Well what is safer than being with us?
(Y/n): Well I... you're right. Just keep her protected in your bag, please.
Diane: Of course.
Meliodas: So it's this tower right?
Diane: I'm sure of it. That knight didn't seem like the type to lie to my face about this.
You looked in the doorway.
(Y/n): It's awfully empty in here.
The five of you continued to move forward. Luckily for Diane, the doorway was quite large, but it was still a little cramped.
Meliodas: It's probably because I sent their boss flying.
Hawk: What a cowardly bunch.
You continued down the corridors of the prison walking by empty cells until you encountered a cell with a young girl.
(Y/n): Who is she?
Hawk: The doctor's daughter.
(Y/n): I feel like I'm missing a part of a story.
Meliodas: Let's take her with us. Can another person fit in your bag?
Diane: Yep, should be fine!
As Diane reached for the girl, she awoke from her slumber and began to scream. Diane ripped the bars out of the wall before taking a hold on the girl. She promptly fainted making it easier for Diane to place her in the bag next to Elizabeth.
(Y/n): I hope she will be ok.
Diane: It looks like she fainted.
The others looked down the hall drawing your attention as well. A figure approached from the shadows. Once light shed on the figure's form it revealed the target of this mission.
Melodias: Ban.
Ban: Ah, Cap'n!
The two entered into a stare down.
Hawk: They just reunited, what's with the tension? I have a bad feeling about this...
Diane: Yep. You should hide behind me. You too (Y/n).
(Y/n): Alright.
You followed Captain Hawk and took shelter behind the giant girl. Silence filled the air as you wanted to peak from around Diane, but decided against it not knowing what would happen.
Meliodas: Ban!
Ban: Cap'n!
A safe feeling filled you and you finally managed to convince your brain to let you look around Diane's arm. Meliodas and Ban were... high-fiving each other? It seemed like fun until-
Ban: Cap'n!
Ban hit Meliodas smashing him through the nearby wall. Ban jumped excitedly waving his arms.
Ban: Come on, Cap'n!
Meliodas came back through the new opening and headbutt Ban in the stomach sending him flying through the opposite wall.
Hawk: What in the world?
Diane: Just let them be.
(Y/n): Does anyone else feel rumbling?
Ban crawled back through the wall and gripped Meliodas's hand and dropping onto the ground.
(Y/n): Are they really arm wrestling?
Diane: Yep.
A force unleashed from their match as the floor began to crumble and the walls fell apart. Hawk jumped into Diane's arms while you held onto her arm slightly terrified.
Diane: Those two have always been like this.
(Y/n): What do you mean like this?!
Hawk: Yeah!
The floor finally fell through as Meliodas and Ban continued their game, Diane watching on with a smile, and you and Hawk screaming.
Timeskip.
???: Dad!
Hawk: Are you ok (Y/n)?
(Y/n): Y-Yeah I'm fine. My head hurts a little and my body aches, but I should be fine with a nap. what I'm really worried about is my armor.
Meliodas: Yeah you're practically naked. Hmm...
(Y/n): I swear I'll punt you through that window if you do what I think you're about to do.
Meliodas: I wasn't going to do anything. You're so mean (N/n).
Hawk: Did you visit Elizabeth?
You sighed out a painful breath as your aching sides squeezed on your bruised midsection. A guilt weighed down on your heart as you looked down at the pig.
(Y/n): I did. She's calmed down and now she's getting the rest she needs.
You softly banged your fist into the wall with a light thump.
(Y/n): Damnit... if I was a better guardian none of this would have happened. I let her get hurt.
Meliodas: It is kinda your fault.
(Y/n): That's not comforting!
Meliodas: But without you there her injuries could have been much worse.
Diane: You did amazing (Y/n)!
(Y/n): Heh. Diane, could you let me down?
Diane nodded and gripped you softly setting you on the ground from the roof outside Elizabeth's window.
Diane: Where are you off to (Y/n)?
(Y/n): I'm going to go back to town and see if I can't find a blacksmith. I need to see if my armor can be repaired or else I'm going to be stuck in these forever.
You gestured to the simple shirt and pants you wore. Common dress shoes on your feet. Your hair was free of the sticky red substance and your lust for conflict had subsided with your Reaver abilities.
Daine: Hey (Y/n)?
(Y/n): Hmm?
You looked up at the girl.
Diane: When you get back... can we talk? It's been a while since we sat down and talked.
A smile managed to grace your tired features.
(Y/n): I'd like that. I'll be back before you guys know it!
You began to walk back towards the town away from the tavern. The sin of greed Ban was rescued and you were one step closer to saving the kingdom you held so dear. One step closer to revenge.
A/n: Hope you enjoyed folks! If you liked the chapter please tell me how I did with a comment and also leave your choice of whether our character keeps his armor or has to obtain a new one. I'll tally up the votes the next time I update this story and I'll decide on what to do. Alright, thank you and farewell!
