Ryu: Well, you're lucky you aren't as pint sized as uncle. I can't really find many ways to give to you funny knockout.

Diane: Good! None of that on me!

Meliodas: Remind me to hit Ryu over the head.

King: Yeah, but now it's him be Diane. Who do you think has this.

Meliodas: Ryu.

King: Again with that?

Meliodas: I'm just saying, you saw him beat Ban right? Unless he's got a thing for her I don't think he'll throw the match.

They both ran at each other with Diane throwing the first few punches. Ryu dodged them either according mindset.

Ryu: 'A One-ie and a Two-ie and a you know what to Do-ie.'

He caught her last punch with a burst of air going behind them. That's when he pretty much did a three hit combo.

Ryu: WHAM, BAM, THANK YOU MA'AM!!

He knocked her away with Diane stomping her foot into the ground to not go further.

Diane: Not gonna be that easy!

Ryu: Oh really?

He rose his hand up and pointed two fingers at her.

Ryu: Thundering Hail.

Shards of ice went towards Diane with electricity surrounding them.

Diane: AH!!

King: What?

Ban: Wolfy uses ice and lightning?

Meliodas: He has all Elemental Magic. He can use it all and fuse them at his will.

She jumped into the air barely avoiding some of the shards. That's when Ryu appeared in front of her smirking.

Ryu: That was predictable.

He slammed his fist in her stomach making her cough. That however proved to be a miscalculation of Ryu's part as she grabbed his arm and pulled him in close.

Diane: So was you coming in closer to attack me. FULL METAL!!

Diane's whole body turned into a heavy iron as they began to do a free fall.

Shojo: Ryu-

Ryu: Yeah I know shoulda seen that one coming.

Diane heard her voice somehow confused.

Diane: What?

They were getting closer to the ground until wings of flames formed behind Ryu. With a single mighty flap they were stopped as he continued flapping hovering in the air.

Midget: WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT, TAIYO HAS SPROUTED WINGS OF FIRE SAVING BOTH HE AND MATRONA FROM THE FALL!!

Elizabeth: What?

Meliodas lifted the scarf that was covering her rear end.

Elizabeth: AHHHH!

Meliodas: There he goes again. He always finds creative ways to do stuff like that.

Ryu: Right then as much as I like being this close, GET THE HELL OFF!

He spun her around getting her dizzy and land on the ground. He stopped using the black and white flames landing on the ground.

She got up slightly recovered before all the sins noticed something. There was a bit of silence before Meliodas Ban and King, who had gone fat, came on the stage. Meliodas left Elizabeth with Hawk confusing her.

Midget: What going on here?!

Meliodas: ALRIGHT LISTEN UP!! WE'RE THE EIGHT DEADLY SINS!! THIS TOWN IS OURS NOW!!!

Hawk and Elizabeth were even more shocked when they saw the look Ryu had in his eye. An almost emotionless grin.

Elizabeth: 'No... No this just can't be true.....'

Ryu: You all have about till the count of 5 before I destroy this place!! ONE~!!!

He cracked his knuckles as his eyes glowed.

Meliodas: LEAVE NOW!! HURRY!!!

Ryu: 'Oh for Gods sake he's making it too obvious.' TWO~!!!

He rose his hand with 5 large balls of black and white fire forming over his hands. At that point everyone started to panic before they all noticed even more fireballs in the sky.

Shojo: Skip the count man.

Ryu: 'Ah shit.'

He formed another 5 and threw them all that the fireballs in the air with explosion happening.

Meliodas: Ryu, get Elizabeth and Hawk somewhere safer!

Ryu: Right!

He vanished before appearing to where Elizabeth and Hawk were.

Ryu: No time to explain we just gotta run!!

He grabbed Hawk and the tiny Elizabeth running and avoiding multiple explosions.

Ryu: OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT!!

Elizabeth: Ryu what's going on?!

Ryu: Holy Knights! Who else could be doing this while we're here?!

Hawk: THEY'RE HERE?!

Ryu kept running until they were a good distance away.

Ryu: Stay here. Also Ellie-

He waved his fingers making an outfit for her.

Elizabeth: Clothes?

Ryu: These'll grow when your back to normal size. TIME TO KICK THE CRAP OUTTA SOMEONE.

He bolted the other way remembering another thing.

Ryu: MY SCYTHE!!

He sped up even more getting to the top of a mountain where his scythe laid.

Ryu: Sorry son, but I'm back!

Shojo: Your too attached to that thing.

Ryu: Fuck off.

Before he could even touch the handle he was hit from behind into a house. Conveniently he was knocked into Ban as well.

Ban: Wolfy what just happened?

Ryu: WHO HAS THE BALLS?!

He looked up seeing that it was Jericho, but she had a different look. Much more feminine than before.

Jericho: You two.

Ryu: 'Ahhh shoot it's Jericho. I don't wanna kill her but she knocked me away from essentially my damn child. Fuck it bodily harm it is!'

He immediately dashed up to her more than a bit irritated.

Ryu: You know I'm seriously pissed right now. I was only trying to retrieve what was mine.

Jericho: And I'm here to get my revenge.

Ban: Revenge? Sorry but I don't think either of us know you.

Jericho: I was the Knight you both humiliated.

Ryu: Ok now let's not get it twisted. Ban humiliated you, I freed him, stabbed him a few times in the side, and then gave you my shirt to cover yourself up. 'And saved a mental image but she doesn't need to know that.'

Jericho: Still, you witnessed my shame and you can't be allowed to tell of it further.

Ryu: Whatever helps you sleep at night Jerry. Though you might need to keep an eye out for Tom. That cat's REAL persistent.

She gritted her teeth and slashed at him.

Jericho: Godspeed Slash!!

Usually Ryu would be to easily move out of the way of attack like those, but there was definitely something different as Jericho moved much faster. That resulted in him actually having to create an ice sword deflecting everything with a back grip.

Ryu: Looks like you improved a bit.

Jericho: I have been reborn.

Ryu: Well that's all well and good but I've got a little something to do. BAN TAG IN!!

He switched places with Ban getting him confused.

Ban: What the hell?

He didn't have much time to say anything else as he was stabbed through by Jericho.

Ban: W-What?! That actually hurt!

That's when Ryu went to his scythe reaching to it but Jericho tried to interfere again.

Keyword:

TRIED.

An electrical aura pushed her far back shocking her. Soon enough temperature even changed to go below zero.

Jericho: What?!

Ryu: Missed you too. Didn't ya know Jericho? The Scythe Shonen is Sentient.

Jericho: WHAT?!!

He grilled the handle and pulled it out rising the Scythe into the air.

???: Long time no speak Ryu, Shojo.

Ryu: You seem to be doing great yourself too Shonen.

Ban: Are you talking to that thing?

Ryu: Fuck off only I hear him.

Shonen: Anyway. You said that was Jericho? Seems she's changed quite a bit.

Shojo: Yeah it was pretty shocking to me too.

Ryu: Ban, stay clear.

Ban: Don't have to tell me twice.

He jumped out of the way with Jericho looking at Ryu.

Jericho: Getting that weapon won't do you any good.

Ryu: Whatever helps you sleep at night. But Imma need you to freeze for a bit.

Jericho: What-

Ryu: Invoke Sacred Treasure: Shonen.

A pulse seemed to come from Ryu as the air got colder.

Jericho: W-W-What is this?!

Ryu: I told you. You about to freeze.

He flicked his wrist bringing Shonen's blade up freezing Jericho up to her neck in a block of ice.

Ryu: Try not to move or else you'll be broken like a toothpick.

Jericho: D-D-Damn y-y-y-you!!

She tried to move struggling as Ryu appeared in front of her. He reached his hand out making Jericho flinch and close her eyes but she was surprised to feel his hand rubbing her cheek.

Ryu: Seriously. Believe it or not I don't wanna kill you. Or hurt you for that matter.

Jericho's eyes widened recognizing his touch before blushing.

FLASHBACK!!

A young Jericho and Ryu were sparing with Ryu easily dodging her attacks.

Ryu: Common Jeri, this is getting boring.

Jericho: *Grunts* Why you little- Grrrr!! Stay still!!

He smirked hearing that.

Ryu: If you want.

He stopped moving and caught her punch. That's when she pulled back his fist throwing a punch at Jericho. She flinched closing her eyes but opened them back up feeling Ryu rubbing her cheek. That's when she blushed.

Ryu: What's the matter? You getting sick or something?

Jericho: N-NO! Don't do that idiot!

Ryu deadpanned hearing that.

Ryu: What a freakin Tsundere.

FLASHBACK OVER!!

Ryu: And I still stand by that statement.

Jericho: R-...Ry-

Ryu: BAN LET'S MOVE!!

They dashed of before she could even finish his name.

Ban: You really not gonna let her know Ryu?

Ryu: *Sigh* After the no brainer move I just pulled there's a REAL good chance she does know.

Ban: She's the girl you like, why not confirm it.

Ryu: Would you let Elaine know it was you she was fighting while shit was going this south?

Ban: Fair point but I've got forever.

Ryu: I mean if no one that comes along who can actually overwhelm me in strength so do I.

Ban: What?

Ryu: Later.

Ban: Right~. Anyway go on ahead, your faster than me.

He nodded before a lightning aura surrounded him making him go at the speed of sound.

Ryu: 'Damn still nowhere near the speed I want.'

Soon he arrived at were he sensed Elizabeth.

Ryu: Oh hey Ellie your back to full size.

Elizabeth: Ryu!

Ryu: Yeah that's me.

???: No way...

He turned to two familiar people.

Ryu: Veronica? Griamore?

Veronica: Ryu, it that really you?

Ryu: Y-Yeah...

Griamore looked at him in disbelief.

Griamore: I thought so, but I didn't want it to be true...

Ryu: Elizabeth, where's uncle?

Elizabeth: In here! Veronica trapped him in this!

She held out a purple gem making Ryu's blood boil a bit.

Ryu: Is that a Goddess Amber?

Elizabeth: Yes!

Ryu: Veronica, how do you release the spell?

Veronica: Don't tell me he brainwashed you too... That's too far!

Ryu: Veronica, again, how do you break it?

He was getting increasingly angrier trying not to explode.

Shojo: Blood pressure Ryu.

Shonen: Breathe pal, just breathe.

Veronica: You know what this is! It only works on truly wicked creatures to seal them away! Meliodas is the worst of the Seven Deadly Sins and I can't believe that you'd join them willingly! Not for a second!

Ryu: VERONICA!!

Everyone was a bit shocked by his change in tone and shouting. Whenever he did take such a tone was when he was clearly pissed.

AND BOY was he an angry boi.

Ryu: I'm not gonna sit here and let you badmouth Meliodas like you know anything! If he was really as bad as you say then I wouldn't be alive!! He saved me and raised me for 10 years of my life!! Sure he could be a perv sometimes and his cooking sucked, but he always tried his hardest!!! But that man, THAT'S the real Meliodas! The Meliodas your talking about is nothing like him!!

He had a slight white aura surrounding him as his eyes glowed.

Ryu: Let him out right now! I won't repeat myself a 3rd time!!

Veronica: Sorry but even if I wanted to, I have no idea. Griamore.

Griamore: Yes Ma'am. Perfect Shell.

He encased both Elizabeth and Ryu in purple shells.

Shonen: Ryu, seriously, before you commit a crime-

Shojo: Be a Leaf! A Leaf in a calm stream!

Hawk: This is nothing! I put my trotters can bust right-

Ryu: Hawk, get the fuck back.

Ban: Don't move.

Griamore looked back seeing Ban had Veronica.

Ryu: Griamore, Veronica, I'm in a VERY FUCKIN foul mood. If you don't let Elizabeth go and find a way to release Meliodas, I'm afraid of what I'll do to you both.

Ban gulped seeing this.

Ban: You must've REALLY pissed him of to make his curse in that tone.

Soon enough Ban was cut in the back by Jericho who somehow was freed from the ice. This made him release Veronica into Griamore's arms.

Ban: The heck? How'd you get free Jericurl?

Ryu at this point was near the breaking point of his anger as Jericho stepped on Ban's back.

Jericho: That's Jericho.

Soon enough another face from Ryu's past showed up.

Ryu: Guila?

Guila: Long time no see, Ryu.

That condescending tone was something that the Wolf Sin didn't want to hear at that moment, especially since that confirmed Jericho's suspicions.

Jericho: So it really is you...

Ryu: .....

Ban at this point was actually nervous.

Ban: I really wouldn't say anything at this point. Seriously, I'm immortal so you should listen when I'm actually scared. 'First sign is the tone, that's when he's trying to give you a chance to not push him the wrong way. Second is the silence. That's when you should know you can't push him further. Just please don't let this silence last for more than a minute...'

Guila: I'll be taking Princes Elizabeth now. So please, release your Spell Griamore.

He nodded undoing the orb around Elizabeth. That's when Veronica got between the two.

Veronica: Wait, your objectives were the Meliodas and the Sword. I'll be escorting her home.

Guila still had a smile on her face as she pointed her Lance at Veronica and Elizabeth.

Guila: Be a good girl and hand over Princes Elizabeth.

Ban looked over at Ryu noticing he was still silent and shaking. That's when his eyes widened as he actually began to clasp his hands together praying.

Ban: 'Please Wolfy you've gotta keep it together!'

Griamore encased the two knights in the his Perfect Shell.

Griamore: I will not allow you to speak to the Princes in such a manner!

Elizabeth began to run from the chaos looking back at how angry Ryu was.

Ryu: 'Can't... Lose... Control.....!!!'

His fangs began to grow alarming Ban who was still on the ground.

Ban: YOU'VE GOTTA COOL IT RYU! COME ON!

He saw the veins bulging from Ryu's arms and the white aura flickering on and off.

Shojo: Ryu, we're here, just let yourself be calm.

Shonen: Think happy thoughts.

Just as Ryu seemed he was about to calm down, Guila launched an explosion as the two. His slow motion state triggered as his eyes glowed. Ban saw this immediately panicking.

Ryu: NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

A white light filled the shell as it cracked. Before the explosion set of and the two were both hurt Ryu pushed both girls away. The explosion set off with no one seeing what had happened. All accept Ban.

Griamore: PRINCESS VERONICA!!

Hawk: ELIZABETH!!

The smoke cleared to reveal Ryu there. Though he had grown about 1 and a half feet making him 7'10. Also, he didn't have a scratch on him.

Ban: No...

Guila: He- But when could have-

Ryu seemed to be grunting hard.

Ban: WE GOTTA GO!!! WE'RE ALL IN DANGER WHEN HE'S LIKE THIS!!!

CHAPTER END!!
