Elizebeth: So Whats this new outfit for?

Elizebeth was currently wearing a different outfit than before.

Meliodas: It's the Tavern uniform.

Ryu: Thought up by yours truly.

Hawk: Way to put your pervy thoughts into motion.

Ryu held up knives at Hawk.

Ryu: Were you saying something porky?

Hawk: NO NOTHING! NOTHING AT ALL!!!

Ryu put the knives away much to the relief of Hawk. Meliodas started "Inspecting" Elizebeth's new outfit. Much to her confusion. She ignored it and started asking questions. And what was Ryu doing?

Well, he was admiring Elizebeth's features silently.

Ryu: 'And thankfully, I'm sneaky enough for her to not even notice.'

Shojo: A little to sneaky if you ask anyone else.

Ryu: So Elizebeth how long ago did you leave home?

Elizebeth: Oh well it was about-

Meliodas lifted up her skirt surprising her.

Elizebeth: Ah!

With speed faster than they could perceive, Ryu went right next to Meliodas and looked at the view before going right back to his original spot.

Ryu: 'And image saved.'

Meliodas: Oh don't worry I just need to conduct a size check.

Hawk then pulled Meliodas away by his hair.

Hawk: YOU MORON! YOUR SCARRING AWAY THE ONE PERSON THAT CAN BRING PEOPLE IN BESIDES RYU!!!

Elizebeth: Um excuse me? Sir Meliodas, there's something I've been meaning to ask you. The Seven Deadly Sins, are you really that wicked? Are you all terrible criminals like the rest of the world says? And if you are, what awful crime did you commit?

Ryu places his hand on Elizebeth's shoulder.

Ryu: Elizebeth, do you really, REALLY want to know?

Ryu had a very evil grin of his face which made Elizebeth go paler than he already was.

Elizebeth: Actually, I don't think I wanna know anymore.

Ryu's original smirk dawned on his face.

Ryu: Thought so.

The Hawks mom tipped over causing the Boar Hat to go horizontally. Elizebeth was about to fall over until Ryu caught her by the back of the shirt.

Ryu: Careful.

Meliodas: Oh hey we're here.

They all stepped out of the Boar Hat and looked to see a village.

Ryu: This is Vanya village our first place for info on the Sins. Also I here we replenish our Vanya Ale supply.

Hawk: Well it used to be. Now that waters are all dried up.

Shojo: Wait what?

Ryu: Ok we're getting to the bottom of this.

They all went to the village to see many people in the town square. They immediately saw some men drinking at the Boar Hat yesterday Meliodas was the first to speak up.

Meliodas: Hey guys, what's with the festival?

Man 1: Does this look like a damn festival to you?! We're trying to pull up a sword some Holy Knight jammed into the ground!

Ryu saw about 10 Men trying to pull it up.

Ryu: Is that all? Piece of cake.

Ryu walked over to the sword with the men still struggling to pull it up.

Ryu: Move your weak asses out of the way.

They did as he instructed and with just two of his fingers, he pulled the sword out of the ground. Everyone had their jaws dropped to the ground at the fact that a single person pulled the blade out with ease so apparently it was ridiculous. A water geyser sprouted up and filled up the lake. He looked at the sword before flinging it away in a random direction.

Ryu: That fixes the problem right?

All Men: HOLY-

Time Skip!

Man 1: To Ryu and Meliodas!

Men: CHEERS!

Men from the village drank from the Boar Hat in Celebration.

Ryu: Don't worry Elizebeth, everything's gonna be fine. I'll do all the cooking while Uncle does the beer poring.

Elizebeth: I'm just so nervous!

Ryu: I get that it's your first time but you've got nothing to worry about.

Shojo: Uhhh, Ryu, do you wanna rephrase that?

Ryu: 'Yeah I realized the moment I said it. And I thought Uncle Meliodas was the biggest Perv on this face of the earth.'

Elizebeth started working and instantly, not really to Ryu's surprise, she started slipping up and sometimes even slipping and having drinks, and food fly onto people, repeatedly apologizing.

Ryu: 'She's to precious.'

Time Skip!

Elizebeth was outside looking at the sky when Ryu and Meliodas came outside. Ryu kept silent as he motioned for Meliodas to not move. He appeared behind Elizebeth and covered her eyes.

Ryu: Guess who?

Elizebeth: Oh, Ryu.

He uncovered her eyes and smiled.

Ryu: Ding ding. Give the lady a prize.

Elizebeth: It's not that hard since you always did the same thing when we were kids.

Ryu: Eh, old habits die hard.

Elizebeth: I know I'm supposed to be working but-

Ryu: Let me guess, seeing the villagers and the kid brought up some memories of you and your dad?

Elizebeth: Yeah...

Ryu: Well don't worry I'm here so you can at least say you have a little bit of home with you now.

She smiled at him and his claim.

Elizebeth: Yes, your right.

Ryu: Plus with Uncle and I, the chances of the Kingdom being free of the control of the Holy Knights is 100 percent!

He held up his finger making an 100% out of flames.

Elizebeth: You've really gotten-

Ryu: Actually, hold that thought.

A flash of lightning came out of the sky as a spear with lightning around it came at the three. With a single hand, Ryu grabbed it, stopping it from going any further, while creating a shockwave going behind him from the force the spear had gone.

Ryu: Yeah sneak attacks never work on me.

He turned the spear around and aimed it were it came from.

Ryu: Ora.

He threw the spear with so much force it pulled the air around it as in a mere instant, it was out of sight.

Elizebeth: Ryu, was that spear from the Holy Knight that left his sword in the ground?!

Ryu: Probably. It's also are cue to get the hell outta here.

Elizebeth: But what if Vanya Village is attacked again?

Meliodas: I think they'd be in a lot more danger if we were to stay.

Ryu: He's not wrong. Plus I probably nearly decapitated someone so they'll be hunting my ass for a LONG time. So I have one place I think it's be a good idea to get too.

Meliodas: Were's that?

Time Skip!

Hawk: I've said it once and I'll say it again, this was a bad idea.

The 4 were currently making there way in the Forest of White Dreams.

Shojo: Ok for some reason I heard the forest of wet dreams. Now I can't stop thinking about it.

Ryu: 'Join the club.' Hawk I literally could take down Meliodas like he isn't even a challenge. I'm strong enough to deal with anything that comes out way.

Elizebeth: I guess but do you really think we'll be able to find one of the Eight Deadly Sins in this forest?

Ryu: Liz, I told you I smelt a familiar cent at this place. Trust me, my nose is never- Woah.

Hawk???: ALL WE'RE GOUNG OFF OF IS YOUR SENSE OF SMELL?!!!

They all saw multiple Hawks.

Hawk: It's a heard of me's!!

Other Hawk: I know!!

Elizebeth: This is the monster of the forest?

Meliodas: I for one find it terrifying.

Ryu: Don't worry I got this.

Ryu extended out his hand creating a stone sledgehammer.

Ryu&Shojo: Hammer time.

He sped around knocking all the fake Hawks on the head leaving the real one standing.

Hawk: Wait how did you know it was me?

Ryu: I think you already know.

Hawk: *Sigh* Your nose is never wrong.

Ryu: Exactly.

The fake Hawks turned right into Hide and Seeks.

Ryu: Yikes, just some little imps that like pulling pranks.

Meliodas: Kinda like you.

Ryu: Accept your more of an imp and my pranks aren't as boring. Anyway, this way.

Ryu started walking as everyone else followed. They soon made their way to a Giant Girl sleeping.

Ryu: Yeah that's Diane.

Diane!!

Meliodas: Looks like she's asleep.

Ryu: Whatever gave you that idea?

Ryu was thinking of the funniest way to wake her up when a lightbulb went of in his head as he dawned a devilish grin while growing tiny horns and a tail.

Hawk: Uh oh, he's got that look on his face again.

Meliodas: Weird, usually it's just the smile and not the horns.

Elizebeth: Is that a tail?

Meliodas: Uhhhhh Ryu? What exactly are you planning?

Ryu: Oh you'll see.

Ryu teleported behind Diane and smacked her southern end. Hard. Her eyes shot open and without even looking, she was about to hit whoever was behind her.

Diane: YOU PERVERT!!

Ryu immediately switched places with Meliodas who immediately saw Diane's fist about to connect with him and his brain went into a slow moving state.

Meliodas: 'You know I should've expected this, but I just couldn't figure it out for the life of me.'

Diane's fist made contact with him as there was a big explosion.

Ryu: Ahhh. It's the simple pranks that are always the easiest, and the funniest.

Elizebeth: Is he gonna be ok?

Ryu: Who, Uncle? Don't worry he'll be fine. It'll take more than that to keep him down.

After a very long beat down by Diane, she finally stopped and looked behind her.

Diane: Who are you?

Ryu: Oh come on you don't recognize me? I mean I know it's been a long time but don't I at least seem familiar.

Ryu came up closer and jumped up to Diane's nose.

Ryu: BOOP.

He poked her on the nose before landing.

Diane: Wait a minute, Ryu?

Ryu: That's me!

She immediately grabbed him in her hand started cuddling him.

Diane: OH MY GOSH ITS REALLY YOU!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW BIG YOU'VE GOTTEN!!!

Ryu: Still tiny compared to a Giant but yeah. By the way we should probably get Uncle Meliodas out of that hole.

Diane: THAT WAS THE CAPTAIN?!!!

Time Skip!!

Ryu: So yeah, that's pretty much what's happening. The Kingdom is going to hell, Elizabeth and us are trying to gather the sins, and I'm pretty much invincible.

Diane: Well I guess I'll come along, but only cause it's you and Captain.

Ryu: Great! Now let's get-

Crow: CAAAAW!!!

Ryu: Oh son of a-

They were all bounded by lightning.

Elizebeth: My bodies gone completely numb!

Hawk: I can't move at all!

Shojo: Wait this lightning seems familiar. And just just from the spear yesterday.

Ryu: Wait a hot damn minute. Is that you over there Gay Thunder?!

A Holy Knight with pink hair and silver armor came out of the tree's wielding the same sword Ryu flung yesterday.

Gilthunder

Gilthunder: I see you still have that mouth on you Ryu.

Ryu: Finally someone who recognized me without me having to say or do something completely obvious.

Elizebeth: Gilthunder why are you doing this?!

Meliodas: Wait who's this guy again?

Ryu: You trained him once in a while with me. He Elizebeth and I grew up together. We were pretty much like family. Well until the whole "The Seven Deadly Sins are the greatest Criminals in the Kingdom!" Bull crap that I somehow got roped into. He was the son of the grandmaster too so that's why he was always around.

Meliodas: Son of the grandmaster? Hey wait a minute are you Little Gil?!

Ryu: Oh right we trained together. 'Never once remembered loosing to him though.'

Shojo: That's because you didn't. The only people that were able to beat you were the sins and your father.

Ryu: 'Sometimes I forget how strong I was back then.' So I'm guessing you came here looking for a fight?

Gilthunder: You know me well. I want to prove that I am superior to the Seven Deadly Sins, or now the Eight Deadly Sins since your alive, and avenge my father.

Ryu: First off, they didn't kill him, second of all, I might be inclined to do so if you meet some demands.

Gilthunder: Name them.

Ryu: First, let Elizebeth go.

He snapped his fingers and Elizebeth was free.

Ryu: The pig too.

He kicked Hawk away before snapping his fingers.

Ryu: Elizebeth, go after Hawk, the grown ups need to play.

Elizebeth: Your only a year older ya know.

Ryu: Still older though.

Elizebeth ran after Hawk and Gilthunder looked at Ryu with a looked that said "Anything Else?".

Ryu: Second, do ya know where I can find Ban and King?

Gilthunder: Since this information wont go any further than here, The Fox Sim of Greed is being held capture at Boste Prison, and the Grizzly sin of Sloth has already been slain.

Ryu: HA! Good luck trying to kill that sly jackass! Alright I'll let you have a little bit of my time. 1 minute is all you get.

Gilthunder: And 1 minute is all you'll have left when we start. First I'll get rid of your bindings.

Meliodas: No need.

The three easily broke the lightning binds.

Ryu: You realize we could have easily broke out at any time right?

Gilthunder: And I could have killed you with much more ease.

Gilthunder readied his sword while Ryu handed Meliodas a stopwatch.

Ryu: You'd die trying. Alright Uncle keep the time, this wont take too long.

Gilthunder without warning started to attack Ryu as he effortlessly dodged the blade.

Ryu: You have about 50 seconds left.

He started moving faster as lightning surrounded he and the blade. Still Ryu dodged the attacks without even looking directly at him.

Ryu: So Diane how's it been the last 10 years?

Diane: Oh you know, just pretty boring. Sleeping eating, staying fit, the essentials.

Ryu: Neat.

Gilthunder: Will you take this seriously?!

Ryu: Huh? Oh sorry I thought you were still warming up. 30 seconds and counting.

Gilthunder began to grow more irritated by the second as they jumped in the sky with Ryu dodging every slash.

Ryu: Ya know if you actually tried pushing yourself to the limit instead of following the ordinary Knight routine, you might actually hit a little closer to home.  20 Seconds by the way.

They landed on the ground with Gilthunder being absolutely livid.

Gilthunder: Will you stop dodging and actually fight?!

Ryu: Fine I won't move out of the way.

Ryu rose his finger and pointed it at Gilthunder.

Ryu: 10 seconds left.

Gilthunder waisted no time in rushing at Ryu. Ryu however expected this and blocked the sword slashes with the finger he rose. The flurry of attacks continued as in one last attack, Gilthunder yelled out and swung his sword with all his might, only for it to be blocked again. He jumped back in frustration.

Ryu: And that's 1 minute. Sorry GT but looks like I'm still to much for you to handle.

Gilthunder: This isn't over!

Ryu: Yeah it is. Diane?

She immediately grabbed him and brought amber arm back.

Diane: You heard the man, some other time.

Gilthunder: Unhand me!

He discharged Electricity from his body not affecting Diane in the Slightest.

Diane: Here's a tip for you okay? Girls get really annoyed when sniveling little runts try to SHOCK THEM!!

She YEETED Gilthunder as hard as she could in a completely random direction.

Ryu: Nice throw.

Meliodas: Woah. That brace is ruined.

Meliodas pointed to the brace of Diane's arm that was destroyed by thunder.

Diane: Aw.

Ryu: Don't worry, a can fix up a new pair for you some time.
