With a massive collision, the remaining members of the Ten Commandments appeared on the battlefield.

"Meliodas?! Sir Meliodas?!" Elizabeth yelled out as she began to panic.

"What happened?! Something just came out of the sky from every direction..." Arthur mumbled as he too watched horrified.

"Su-Such magic power..."

"It's like a tidal wave of killing intent just hit the battlefield..." Gowther muttered as he watched what was unfolding.

"Th...This is the worst possible scenario!" Hendrickson gasped out as he realized what was happening. As the dust cleared, everyone was then able to see the situation Meliodas was now in. Every member of the Ten Commandments was there now, minus Galand. So, Derieri, Drole, Estarossa, Fraudrin, Gloxinia, Grayroad, Melascula, Monspeet and Zeldris all stood there around Meliodas. With Zeldris right in front of his older brother. "He's surrounded... by the Ten Commandments..."

"He...hey Gil! That's...!" Howzer tried to say as he looked into the crystal ball. "Great Holy Knight Dreyfus?!"

"Father..." Griamore mumbled as he held onto Hendrickson's arm.

"That's the man with whom you plotted the downfall of our country, Maraiga. What are you planning this time with all of those monsters?! Answer me, Hendrickson!" One of the assassins yelled out.
"Back off!" Arcadia growled at the shorter man with her power flaring up to ward off the man. He took a step back from them and went back to being silent.

"It's alright, Arcadia."

"No, it isn't." The girl argued back. However, she then turned her attention back to the fight between Meliodas and the Ten Commandments.

Meliodas now had one arm and kicked at his brother. He tried to get his arm back, but Zeldris stopped it from returning to him.

"Get him," Zeldris ordered instantly. Grayroad then wrapped chains around the blond man that quickly faded into his body. Meliodas continued to fight, and when he saw a chance he tried to escape, only to magically appear back where he'd started.

"These are the 'Chains of the Accursed Resentment'. Once you have been cursed, you become unable to leave this place. Death is inescapable." Grayroad explains in her creepy voice.

The next Ten Commandment to fight Meliodas was Derieri. Her attacks were relentlessly one after another.

"S-Something's going on!" Hendrickson noted in shock as he watched.

"The course of her blows is steadily rising..." Howzer finished for the older man. Sure enough, her attacks were getting stronger with every blow.

After she attacked him, Monspeet did his part with Meliodas cutting his throat in the end. Next up was Fraudrin's turn.

"It seems that your fight with Gloxinia and Drole took more out of you than I expected..." Fraudrin spoke with a smile on Dreyfus's face. "I have not forgotten the shame of losing to you at Danafor... However, not finishing me off was also the end of your luck."

"You need to send me there." Arcadia finally spoke up.

"What? You'd only die." Gilfrost snapped back instantly.

"Dreyfus or Hendrickson would not have had to ruin their lives so..." Fraudrin continued to speak as the girl argued with Gilfrost.

"I'm a half-demon and half-goddess. I can handle myself!"

"Arcadia, you can't!" Hendrickson commented, afraid for his friend.

"Send me there. Now." She ignored Hendrickson's words and approached Gilfrost. "Please."

"Fine. You'll probably die, so say your last words." Arcadia nodded her head and turned to Hendrickson and Griamore.

"I might not return. So, I'm sorry." Arcadia patted the crying boy on his head and then stepped closer to Hendrickson.

"Make sure you come back. I don't..."

"I'll try my best to return... to you." With that, Arcadia disappeared. She appeared right in between Meliodas and Fraudrin.

"Stay back!" Arcadia threatened as she pointed her sword at the demon.

"Arcadia?" Meliodas had his sword in his mouth so her name was hard to understand.

"Arc?" Fraudrin questioned a bit startled that she appeared there. He took a step forward only to have her swing her sword at him.

"I said, stay back!"

"Fraudrin, deal with your woman. She's in the way." Derieri grumbled from the sidelines.

"Shut up!" Arcadia snapped angrily at the woman.

"Why are you here? Are you stupid, woman?" Fraudrin snapped showing his true colors.

"I'm stopping you!"

"You're shaking." Arcadia was indeed shaking. She said nothing and didn't get the chance to say anything as the demon just shoved her out of the way and continued to talk. "You know Meliodas, trying to talk to him won't work. No matter how many times you plead to his heart. It will not reach..." However, the mark on his face disappeared and it seemed like Dreyfus came through. "Lord Meliodas..." A tear came from his eye as he raised his sword and attacked Meliodas, sending him flying backward.

"Fraudrin, stop!" Arcadia yelled as she stood back up. The demon then grabbed the girl and pulled her close to him as Gloxinia began his attack.

"You betrayed me."

"You betrayed me first! You killed my mother!"

"She was just a reincarnation of your mother, that's all. Don't tell me, you don't love me anymore?" Fraudrin grabbed her chin and pressed his lips to hers. She instantly shoved him away and turned to see Meliodas powering up. Arcadia got the point and quickly flew out of the way.

"Well, this isn't good," Monspeet spoke as he wrapped his arms around Derieri.

"Damn you... are you saying I will lose to you again?!" Fraudrin growled angrily. Meliodas then swung his sword, only to be stopped by Estarossa. Instantly the power the blond had built up was gone. With that, Meliodas fell backward and landed on his back.

"Hey, Meliodas. To be honest, I don't want to do this at all. I'd rather die." Estarossa then stepped strongly down on Meliodas. "You understand what I'm saying, right? It's because I love you."

"Stop it!" Arcadia cried out and flew back over to shove the tall demon away. "Uncle, please, I'm begging you, stop this now!"

"Back off, Arcadia. Don't make me tell you again."

"Please..."

"Then I'll just kill you first." Estarossa reached out to grab the girl but was stopped by a voice.

"Don't touch her!" Fraudrin snapped instantly as he stepped closer. "You are not permitted to lay a hand on her."

"If I want to kill my niece, I will."

"Arcadia... Don't..." Meliodas choked out painfully. "Get... away..."

"I can't just leave you!"

"Hey, Estarossa. I've got something to say, right from the ass..." Derieri suddenly spoke up, ignoring Arcadia now.

"Alright?"

"I take it this 'something' pertains to how you've been feeling a strange gaze upon us for quite some time now... and it's most likely Meliodas's friends and you're wondering if it's really okay to just leave them be?" Monspeet spoke next for the girl.

"Yeah."

"The Seven Deadly Sins... Meliodas's new comrades..."

"His new comrades, you say..." Estarossa began as he lifted up his hand shoved Arcadia away before leaning down to grab Meliodas. "So... when were you planning on betraying these comrades? You know, kind of like how you stabbed us in the back and abandoned the Ten Commandments back when you were our leader... During your reign... your strength, your ruthlessness, your callous disregard for life... it was terrifying and majestic sight to behold. In the face of that back then, even the goddesses could do nothing but cower, crippled by your presence. Everyone accepted and acknowledges you as the most worthy successor to the demon king. Even I yearned to be like you."
Estarossa was now holding Meliodas up by his neck.

"Stop it, let him go!" Arcadia yelled as she stood up and moved to stop the demon.

"Then, out of the blue, you blindsided all of us... leading to the evisceration the demon world... leaving it in ruins before you so deftly disappeared. To add insult to injury, you slaughtered two of the Ten Commandments in your wake...And until Drole and Gloxinia recently joined, those two slots for the Ten Commandments had remained empty. Your actions tipped the scales on the balance of power that we'd maintained between the demons and goddesses. Seeing an opening to crush the demon tribe once and for all, the goddesses leaped at the opportunity and incited the rest of the races against us. You lit the fuse that started that war 3,000 years ago. So tell me... how was it you thought up something so incredibly fun?"

"Dammit, Uncle, let him go!" Arcadia was stopped by Fraudrin before she could fly any closer. He grabbed a hold of her and pulled her down.

"So in the Ten Commandments stead, you've got the Seven Deadly Sins this time? You're probably so excited you can hardly bear it... trying to decide how, where, and when your net betrayal will unfold... You really are a twisted fuck." He then dropped Meliodas onto the ground once again.

"Let me go!"

"I cannot." Fraudrin sounded almost sad to have to say that to the girl. "I know you cannot stop me either, so just watch." Melascula was yapping as she was about to eat Meliodas's soul when suddenly her neck snapped. It was Ban, thankfully, who'd appeared only moments ago.

"You mind repeating that? I didn't hear you the first time!" Ban practically sung as he ripped out all her hearts next.

"You goddamned idiot... why the hell... did you come here? Take Arcadia... and go..." Meliodas choked out yet again.

"Idiot? That's rich coming from you... quit tryin' to act all cool."

"You truly are... the biggest fool I've ever known..."

"Ah, well. You know what they say... birds of a feather... flock together"

"That's the Seven Deadly Sins, Ban!" Fraudrin gasped out, loosening his hold on Arcadia for a second. She was able to break free and run to Ban and Meliodas, which was not standing together. Before she could even reach them, Estarossa already passed Ban and stabbed Meliodas.

"No!" Arcadia quickly put herself in between Estarossa and Meliodas. "Stop it, now!"

"After I kill you, Meliodas. Your daughter will be next, but first..." Estarossa stated as he stabbed Arcadia, right into a heart, then shoved her away to fall to the ground. She coughed up blood and got back up, putting her hand over her wound. She couldn't heal herself though, she didn't know how to yet.

"Arcadia!" Fraudrin yelled out, horrified at what had just happened to his former lover.

"Allow me to fill you in on something. We superior demons all possess seven hearts." Estarossa then stabbed Meliodas again. "That makes two. And one for your child. No matter how powerful the demon, once all their hearts are destroyed their death is imminent." By now, Ban was trying to choke out Estarossa, and Arcadia stood in front of him again.

"Not if I break your neck first!" Ban tried hard, he really did, and so did Arcadia. However, the girl was stabbed yet again and tossed to the side. Her powers were nothing compared to Estarossa. She never even got the chance to fight. This time, however, Fraudrin pulled the girl to her feet.

"Don't you dare die on me, Arcadia!" The demon yelled out as they watched another of Meliodas's hearts get stabbed.

"Three, four, five." Estarossa counted as he stabbed each heart perfectly with a new sword each time.

"You'll have to kill the captain over my dead fucking body!" ban yelled out as he tried even harder to break Estarossa's neck.

"Six."

"Don't do it..."

"Don't kill him, please Uncle!" Arcadia couldn't move with Fraudrin holding onto her protectively.

"Farewell... my precious brother... my beloved... Meliodas." With that, the last heart of Meliodas was pierced. Ban yelled out loudly with tears flowing down his face. "You know... with all that shouting you've been doing... you're liable to pop my eardrums. Gnats should know their place..." With that, Ban popped like a balloon.

"No!" Arcadia cried out, falling to the ground. Fraudrin let her go and watched as Estarossa stood proudly.

"Meliodas, as of now, has finally met his demise. Britannia is now the demon tribes' for the taking... let the show begin." With that, the Ten Commandments, minus Fraudrin flew off.

"Join us. We can be like the old days again." Fraudrin held out his hand to the crying girl.

"You killed my mother, and then let my father die, are you fucking kidding me?!" She smacked his hand away from her and glared up at him with hate in her eyes.

"I see..." With that, the demon bent down and kissed the girl's hair before speaking once again. "I..."

"Don't even say you love me, because I know you, a demon, doesn't love me at all..."

"Very well." Then, with those words, Fraudrin flew off as well, leaving the girl all alone with the dead body of her father. The next thing she knew, she heard Elizabeth's voice calling out for Meliodas and Hendrickson calling out for her.

"Over here..." Arcadia managed to call out to them. Instantly, she was able to see the man and the girl. Elizabeth quickly made her way to Meliodas, as Hendrickson made his way to Arcadia.

"You're still alive... I thought you..." Hendrickson gasped out shocked as he dropped to his knees.

"I'm not dead yet..." She smiled up at him, as she leaned against his body. "Please heal me..."

"Of course. That's why I'm here." Hendrickson instantly began to heal the two wounds where her hearts used to be. He couldn't save the destroyed hearts, but he could heal the wounds to stop them from bleeding.

"I didn't die... I came back to you..." Arcadia whispered to the man as he healed her.

"You did a good job of not dying."

"Where's Griamore?"

"With Gil and Howzer. I didn't think he needed to see such a sight." He was referring to the state Meliodas was in.

Elizabeth was now crying and screaming over Meliodas's body. The two adults didn't know what to do, but they knew that they needed to be with her now. With Arcadia now healed, she stood up and walked over to the crying girl.

"Elizabeth..." Arcadia started as she sat down next to the girl. "I'm so sorry I couldn't save him..."

"You called him your father... Can you explain that to me?"

"I can't..."

"I understand..." Elizabeth didn't fully understand despite what she said, but she knew the girl wasn't going to say anything. Suddenly, Gilfrost appeared there.

"Let's go. I'll take you back to Liones."

"No, take me and Meliodas to the Boar Hat... Bring Hawk too..."

"I want to come with you!" Arcadia stated, but Elizabeth just shook her head.

"No, you need to stay with Hendrickson and Griamore."

"I..." There was something Arcadia wanted to say, but she couldn't. So, she just turned to look at Hendrickson and smiled sadly at him. "What now?"

"I... I'm not sure..." The two adults just looked at each other in confusion. They'd just suffered a terrible loss, and now they weren't sure what they were going to do. However, they knew they were going to do it together.
