Read the Authors note at the bottom of this chapter when your done!!
Thank you!!

"Julianne.....no.....tch! Come on! We need to go and save her!!"

My hand glowed a vibrant dark purple color and I touched the barrier around my feet. I did the same with my friends and summoned my sword.

"We need to go! Now!" I yelled.

"W-wait, Abby! What about Meliodas!?"

I turned around quickly to look at Meliodas's beat up and bloody form. He was struggling to stand as Ban and Hawk walked up to him. That's when I noticed Ivette run our way.

"Guys! Thank god you're okay! Where's Julianne?" She asked.

I clenched my fingers around my sword tightly and looked away. I could feel Ivettes eyes stay on me waiting for an answer.

"Hendrickson took her away!" Meliodas yelled.

"...w-what...who's Hendrickson?! What does he want with my cousin?!"

"There's no time to answer questions! Meliodas! You rest up and me and Ban will go rescue Julianne! Ban let's go!" Hawk yelled.

But Ban stood his ground and stared at Meliodas with a smirk plastered on his face.

"Ban? Oh I know! We have to rescue Diane and King too!.........Ban....you're not planning anything weird are you?" Hawk continued.

"B-Ban? Why aren't you talking? What's up?" Meliodas asked.

".......well..... I really do love you captain!"

As Ban said that he swung his nun chucks around and sliced Meliodas's arm off his body. Ban caught it in his hand and frowned.

"Don't resist, I'll make this as fast as possible!" Ban said.

"Never!" Yelled Meliodas.

Meliodas then punched Ban getting his arm back in the process.

"We don't have time for this crap so stop messing around!" Meliodas yelled once again.

We stared at the two, no, more like glared at the two men for acting like morons.

"We can't wait for these two. We need to-...ah!!"

I fell to my knees in pain while clutching my shirt.

"Abby!"

"Abby! What's wrong?!"

I felt someone kneel down next to me and rub my back.
The burning sensation was starting up again. Was it because I was in this weak state or was it because of the negative emotions all of us were feeling moments ago?
It didn't matter. I still need to fight.

"I-I'm fine.... We need to get Julianne back...!"

I tried to stand up but my legs gave out on me and I fell over again. Lizzy caught me and set me down on the ground.

"No, you're not okay. You can't fight like this." She said.

"B-but, Julianne.....she's."

"We know, but you can't fight Hendrickson at the moment. You need to rest." Al stated.

I looked at my friends with pleading eyes but they wouldn't let me move from that spot. The only thing I could do was just sit there and think about what was happening around us. Julianne was taken away again, Ban wants to kill Meliodas, and all of the new generation of holy knights have turned into monsters. I can't sit around and let things continue.

"Julianne, she would sacrifice herself without a second thought. Knowing that, how could I abandon her. I won't die here, not now." I heard Meliodas say.

My fists clenched again as tears prickled at the corners of my eyes. I can't let Julianne die here. She's my friend, my sister. We need to get Julianne back.

"H-hey Hawk?! Where are you going with Meliodas?!" I heard.

I turned to look to my left to see Hawk carrying a sleeping Meliodas on his back. Lizzy was in front of him worry spread across her face.

"We're going to save Julianne. You guys need to rest up and stay here with Elizabeth and the others." Hawk said.

He then started to run off disappearing from my view.

"I'm going to borrow this, and this." I heard.

I felt the back of my shirt tugged on and I my body was now being dragged.

"Ban? What the hell are you doing?!" Al asked.

Ban then launched me into the air giving me a good view of the land. Next to me was Gil Thunder who was also thrown by Ban. That's when I felt my body make impact with a very large object and I groaned in pain.

"Ban! Why did you throw them!" Diane yelled.

"Because they looked Like they needed this. Hyper Recovery!"

A giant ball colored green covered me, Gil, and Diane. The wounds we all had started to vanish and the pain in my chest disappeared as well.

"Oh, I should've used this on the captain, whoops." Ban said.

"Ya think! He was a mess when Hawk carried him off!" Ivette yelled.
_________________________________________

"Dreyfus?....." I mumbled.

"Lady Julianne, stand back...."

I only nodded my head and took a few steps back from my original position.
Hendrickson was taking me somewhere but Dreyfus appeared stopping him in his tracks. I knew they were about to fight, so I got to try my best not to get hit by anything. And I know my friends would tell me to fight alongside Dreyfus but this is his fight, not mine. It was his to begin with.
I stood behind an almost broken pillar and watch the two fight. I don't know who will win since me and my friends have messed up the story so much. Maybe the outcome is the same, if it is then Dreyfus will die.

I was so cooped up in my thoughts that I didn't even notice Hendrickson use one of his powerful attacks on Dreyfus. Out of reflex I came out of my hiding position and looked for any signs of Dreyfus's life.

"Grandmaster Dreyfus!" I yelled.

My worries disappeared when I saw him through a cloud of smoke. I smiled at this knowing he was still alive. That's when his sword started to glow white. Hendrickson only smirked at his friend and made what looked like a purple and black ball in his hands. They launched their attacks at each other and the balls of different colors clashed. It made a huge explosion hitting me. That idea of not getting hit went right out the window at that moment.

Pain is what I felt then. My body hit the ground and I sat against a broken wall. Once most of the smoke cleared, I saw the deep wound in my side. It was bleeding a lot. But why? I was able to heal so why isn't it healing? I held the bleeding wound as I felt myself get weaker by the second. Hendrickson's attack must've hit me. His demonic power must be one of my weaknesses as an angel, it makes sense.

That's when Dreyfus ran up to me. He quickly took out a cloth and put it on my wound. I held the cloth in place and nodded up at him with a smile as a thank you. He only stared down at me with shock on his face.

"My what a pity, I better take her away before that blood dries up huh?"

"It's over Hendrickson!!" Dreyfus yelled.

They immediately started to fight again. But this time, Hendrickson basically destroyed Dreyfus's sword.

"Yes, it is over."

"N-no.....Dreyfus... Get away from....him." I said.

But, he couldn't hear me. My voice was like a whisper at this point. I've already lost too much blood.

"Now that you're magical powers are depleted you have now chance, and you were so close Dreyfus." Hendrickson started but was punched in the face by Dreyfus.
This didn't affect him a single bit and he continued to talk.

"Admit defeat, you're the one person I don't want to kill."

But Dreyfus punched him again.

"You were an outstanding mentor, friend and rival. But, I'm afraid that this is it."

That's when it happened. Dreyfus's body slowly started to disappear into ash. I closed my eyes not wanting to look at this.
Even with how messed up the story is now, Dreyfus still ended up dead. There's nothing any of us could've done about it.

"Well Meliodas, just as I thought. My acid has no affect on the sinister powers of demons." I heard.

"M-meliodas....?" I whispered.

"Julianne!!!!" Hawk yelled.

Hawk? He's here too?
Slowly, my hand slipped away from the cloth on my wound and it fell. I was probably at my weakest point ever. The demons power is really powerful.
That's when I was lifted up bridal style in someone's arms quickly. I felt the person use incredible speed to move to a different spot.
I forced my eyes to open to look at my savior and saw that it was Meliodas. He had one of the most saddest and angriest looks I would ever see in my life.

"Julianne...I'll end this fast...and when it's over...we'll run the tavern together again....okay?.........Hawk, can you take her with you?"

"R-right! I'll be as fast and safe as possible!"

"What are you planning?" Hendrickson asked.

"Now get going." Meliodas said completely ignoring Hendrickson.

Hawk yelled a little bit before I felt him start to run.

"Don't you dare die on me Julianne! If you do, I'll never forgive you!........whoa what the?! Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!" Hawk yelled.

I heard a crash and Hawk stopped running. I kept my head down on his back still clearly weak from the blood loss.

"Oh, you're a life safer." Hawk said.

"Julianne? I'll never forgive you Hendrickson!" That was Diane.

She probably saved us from that blast I heard. I felt us being set down and someone grabbed me. They placed me on the ground leaning up against what seemed like a wall.

"Damnit! She has already lost so much blood!"

"Everybody move! I can heal her!"

So many voices. They sound like my friends.
That's when I felt someone put their hand on my wound. Right after that I suddenly felt so alive that I literally jumped up in place and stood. My eyes that were now open looked around. My friends were in front of me with very pissed off and worried looks.

"Damnit Julianne! I told you not to do something like that again!" Al yelled pulling me into a hug.

"I know....I know... But, I couldn't just let everyone die."

"Julianne, if you died, life would just be a living hell for me." Abby said.

"Same here." Lizzy agreed.

"I would never forgive myself if you died. I promised tank I would protect you." Ivette added.

"Thank you guys, I'm sorry. How about we do things as a team for now on. We are The Black Sins of Britannia right." I said.

"Right!" Everyone yelled.

I smiled at them but then finally realized what was going on.

"Yooooooo! Heyyyyyy Hendy, would you mind telling me where you got that thing?" Ban asked.

We all turned to see Ban in front Hendrickson with an almost demonic smirk plastered on his face.

"What was that?"

"Come onnn you heard me.....I SAID I WANT TO KNOW WHERE YOU GOT THE DAMN THING SO YOU BETTER SPIT IT OUT ALREADY!!!!!!" Ban yelled while furiously hitting Hendrickson in the face with his nun chucks.

Hendrickson then slammed into a rock wall and it crumbled making a huge opening. Inside was a demon, the dead red demon that Ban killed so many years ago.

"It can't be.."

"Is that?"

"Hehehe, this thing is the start of it all!"

Boom! Slam! Done!
Who else thinks this chapter was awesome!
Welp! I bet some of you know that this story is coming to an end soon but I might be making a sequel depending on my readers if they want it. But anyways until that happens here's a question.

What do you think happened to James and when do you think he'll appear next?

And as a bonus question.
My birthday is coming up soon, what day do you think it's on?

That was just a random question but whoever gets that first question close or to exactly right gets a shout out.
Okay, is that good with you?
GREAT!
Until next time!

✌✌Peace✌✌
