Chapter Twenty Five

"It's the goat sin?! Gowther?!"

"Yes, it is me."

I looked at Gowther as he set me down. He was the one that saved both me and Guila. I'll have to thank him later.
Gowther jumped off the roof we were on and landed in front of Grandmaster Dreyfus.

"Grandmaster Dreyfus. I look forward to defeating you." He said.

I smiled down at him amused at his statement. But my smile quickly went away when Dreyfus plunged his sword into Gowther stomach. But Gowthers hands somehow managed to touch Dreyfus's head. The stood there frozen, like time has stopped.

After a few minutes of them just standing there. I jumped off the building gripping my weapon tightly.

"They've been like that for so long. What did Gowther do?" Howzer asked.

"I don't know. Maybe it was part of his plan." I said.

Right after I said that Dreyfus pulled his sword out of Gowthers stomach and stood upright.

"I'm sorry, but I was the one to wake up. You on the other hand will sleep for all eternity."

Gowthers body fell, his eyes dulling to a dark gold color.

"Gowther! No!"

I stared at Gowthers body shocked. I thought he was able to regenerate or something like that. I clenched my teeth in anger. Dreyfus will pay for doing this.
But, I guess karma bit his ass because he fell to hit knees in pain. Whatever Gowther did to him must've taken a toll on his body.

"He's hurt... Thank you Gowther." I whispered.

But, just as I said that. I saw a flash of light to my left and Gil thunder was helping Dreyfus stand up.

"Helbram, I leave the rest to you." Dreyfus said.

"I'll do my best." Helbram replied while taking off his ripped and tattered cloak.

"Ha. Thanks to Gowther, we only have to deal with lord Helbram." Guila said.

"Do you really think it would be that easy to kill me? Call of inferno!"

Once he said that, a black fog surrounded the streets.

"This....this is the call of death!" Howzer exclaimed.

Blood started to pour out of my mouth as the inside of my body felt like it was crippling away.

"S-stop! What if there are still people around!" I yelled.

I coughed making more blood come out of my mouth. But, I stood my ground. I can't let this continue!
That's when Diane's fist crushed the ground where Helbram was. I used the opportunity to make a barrier around her fist to make sure Helbram stayed under the ground.

"I DON'T THINK SO!! WON'T LET ANYONE DIE!!......Guila..... Howzer.... I want you to take this boy and run far away from here...." Diane said.

"Stop joking around..... Why are you always protecting others?.... You should care about yourself for once..." Howzer struggled to say as tears formed in his eyes.

"We both care more about others than ourselves..... It's who and what we are...." I stated.

I looked over at Howzer hoping to get an understanding response but I never got one.

"You two are really stubborn girls!!" I heard.

All of a sudden, my barrier burst and I was blast back with crystal shaped ice in my shoulder and thigh. I cried out in pain as I landed on Diane's leg.

"Diane! Lizzy! No!"

My body slumped over. I was too weak to fight anymore. I stayed in that place waiting for death to come my way again. I could hear more of those ice crystals being made by Helbram. He's preparing for another attack.

"No! Stop!"

"Please! Don't hurt them anymore!"

I smiled. It's been a good life. Abby, Al, Ivette, Julianne. I'll surely miss you. I wish I can live longer. To have more good memories with you guys. Like the day we all became the best of friends. Or the time we broke into an abandoned elementary school for Halloween.

And, I'll also miss King. Even though we talk to each other privately where no on can see us. I've still enjoyed our time together. He's the sweetest guy I've met in my life. I'll never forget him, in life or death...

"Who did this?..."

My eyes slowly opened at the familiar voice that belonged to King. He was standing a few feet away from me and Diane. His back was turned but I can tell he was getting angry.

"Who did this horrible thing to Lizzy and Diane! Was it you? Or you?!"

King was now yelling at Guila and Howzer.

"No.....King..." Diane started.

"Those two..... were protecting....both of us." I ended.

I watched as King walked up to Howzer and started punching his armor covered chest.

"Well they didn't!!! They didn't protect you two at all!!"

"H-hey kid!"

Howzer grabbed Kings wrist and saw his bloody knuckles.

"Why......why can't I protect the ones I love?" King questioned himself.

I closed my eyes not wanting to see King suffer like this. He's such a caring, lovable person. He doesn't deserve any of this.

"Well, this isn't anything new. You never show up in time. You're always too late. The great fire of the Fairy King's Forest twenty years ago...and that time seven hundred years ago...and now, this time, two girls will die because of you."

"Shut up!!"

That's when I heard a crash of a building and groaning of pain. But after that, all I heard was more crashing and screaming before I finally blacked out.
_________________________________________

"Geez! Ivette, Ban, and Meliodas leaving me alone! Who do they think they are!"

I ran past some more buildings trying to find Meliodas. He ran off somewhere leaving me behind, alone.
I'm alone because Ban and Ivette went off somewhere leaving me with the short, blonde headed, pervert. NOW the pervert left me! Like what the hell?!
I slowly came to a stop and I leaned up against a nearby wall. I know I shouldn't take any breaks but this is like a huge work out.

*CRASH! BOOM!*

"*sigh* I guess it's back to battle then."

I summoned my scythe and took off running again. Only to get hit by a body covered in golden armor. I fell on my back closing my eyes tightly in pain.

"Ow....." I said.

"Oh my goodness! My lady! Are you alright?!"

I slowly opened my eyes and saw violet ones staring at me. I blinked a couple of times before finally realizing who it was. King Arthur of Camelot!!

OH GOSH!! OH GOSH!! OH GOSH!!! IT'S HIM! OKAY OKAY OKAY CALM DOWN!!! DON'T FREAK OUT AL!!

I stared up at him as he held out his hand to help me up. I slowly grabbed it and I was pulled up lightly.

"Y-yeah, i-i'm f-fine." I stuttered.

"Great to know. I thought I hurt you when I was knocked into you." He said.

"Oh, well, how did that happen?" I asked.

"Are you really getting distracted while we're fighting?"

I looked behind Arthur and saw Hendrickson. Oh it's on now!
I gripped my scythe tightly as I walked up to him.

"You sneaking son of a bitch!! Where is Julianne and Elizabeth?!!" I yelled.

Hendrickson just smirked at me.

"I'm sorry panther sin, but I don't know what you're talking about."

"Panther sin?.....wait! Are you one of the Black Sins of Britannia?" Arthur asked.

I looked at him and slowly nodded. I turned back to Hendrickson and held my scythe in a battling position.

"Yes, I am. But I'll tell you more later. I have something important to do."

I quickly ran up to Hendrickson and slashed my scythe at him. Our weapons clashed together and he pushed me away. From there, we were just slashing at each other at the fastest speed possible. I got hit a couple of times before he grabbed me by my throat.

"Your effort in defeating me is impressive. But you'll need more skill to put me down." He said.

"Y-you.......ass......hole....." I stuttered.

I was gasping for breath. I tried to pry Hendrickson's hands off my neck but they wouldn't budge. That's when the pressure on my neck disappeared and I fell to the ground.

"I hope you know that's not the way to treat woman Hendrickson." I heard.

I coughed a bit before looking around. Arthur was fighting Hendrickson with a smile on his face. But Hendrickson just looked annoyed.

"You both are fools." He said.

"Well, you're an idiot for taking my friends!" I yelled.

Arthur then pushed Hendrickson away from making him stumble from the force. I then ran up to Arthur's side with my scythe ready.

"Oh, I almost forgot. But my name is Arthur Pendragon."

"My name is Al. But maybe we can talk later."

"Sure thing!"

Thus the battle between the two of us and Hendrickson began.
