Elizabeth runs through the forest, the Holy knights chasing after her.
"Seize her!" Allioni says "I can't let a member of the Eight Deadly sins escape, I gotta capture her. If I manage that, then I'll finally be made into an apprentice knight" A knight fly past them.
"What's going on?! What's happening?!" Allioni and the other small Holy Knight look behind them to see Hawk and Y/N chasing after them.
"The pig and the Wolf are attacking!"
"You're not getting away" Hawk shouts. Y/N barks. The two knock all the holy knights away except Allion. He comes to an opening,
"You leave me alone!" Allioni gets to the edge of a cliff and stops "Where's the girl?" Y/N continues to run and knocks Allioni off the cliff. He screams as he falls. Y/N poofs back into her human form.
"Nothing personal mister wannabe. But I've just earned twice the booze tonight"
"I don't know how I can ever thank you for saving me. Not just once, but two. Times" Elizabeth says. She is in a tree with Meliodas, who is groping her breast.
"Meli!" Y/N shouts, looking up at the "Stop touching the poor girl!"
"I'm telling you, lady, feel free to hunch off and punch him," Hawk says. Later, Elizabeth is standing near the cliff.
"So, why are you looking for the Eight Deadly Sins anyway?"
"I want to ask them to help me stop the holy knights "
"Are you serious?" Hawk asks "Why in the world would you wanna do that? The holy knights are the king's men. They're the knights who protect Liones? Real heroes"
"But...what if they were behind the plot to start a war in our country," Elizabeth says "The other day, except for the king himself, the entire royal family were arrested and is being held by the Holy Knights" Y/N and Meliodas look surprised.
"Does that mean the king isn't sick in bed?"
"That's just a cover story the Holy Knights are using," Elizabeth says "I don't know what they think they can accomplish by driving the nation to war. But now they're drafting the people of the kingdom. They're taking men to wherever they can take them. They're preparing for war everywhere you look. Soon, their reach will extend out here"
"That's not good," Hawk says.
"Yeah, tough break huh"
"You've got no empathy to have you," Hawk says.
"So, how does this tie in with the Eight Deadly Sins again?" Y/N asks.
"If there's even the slightest hope of preventing the holy knights from doing this" Elizabeth faces the others "I know they're the only ones who can"
"Just checking here. You're trying to find those guys even though you know what kind of people they are?"
"The Eight Deadly Sins. The vilest order of knights the kingdom ever produced. Made up of Eight vicious bloodthirsty criminals. Each one branded with the mark of a beast" Elizabeth explains "Ten years ago, when they were suspected of trying to overthrow the kingdom, the knights of the realm launched a full-force attack, scattering them to the four winds"
"Well, if you believe the rumors, they each died a long time ago"
"Such amazing people wouldn't possibly let themselves get killed!"
"But they are criminals, aren't they," Y/N says.
"The Holy Knights are the ones causing the suffering of the people right now!... Long ago, when I was small only 5 or six years old, my father would tell me stories about them. And that's when I learned, that they were the most powerful knights-" They are cut off by the ground shaking. Next thing they knew a large piece of the ground is cut and they fall. Elizabeth screams. Meliodas and Y/N stay calm and Hawk panics.
"Give me a break!"
"Oopsie, I forgot to ask them if they were the people in the report," A holy knight says, putting his sword back into its scabbard "Conclusion, three individuals of unknown origin, dead!" He turns around "What do you think men? Does that sound about right"
"B-But sir, Allioni is still under the cliff?"
"Well then, simply put four fatalities in the report"
"But you can't!"
"Sir Twigo. That's even too far for you"
"How about Eight fatalities instead"
"No, you don't need to do that. Forgive us!" Meliodas and Y/N then jump to the top of the cliff. Meliodas holding Elizabeth and Hawk, while Y/N drops Allioni "Look! Its Allioni!"
"You there! How dare you survive without my say so. I shall not be revising my death tally conclusion"
"Who asked you to anyway" Hawk shouts.
"Hey, are you awake?" Meliodas asks Elizabeth.
"O-Oh, yes"
"Okay, when I signal you, run into the forest. Got it?"
"All right, got it" Elizabeth gets out of Meliodas's hold.
"Tell me, which one of them do you believe to be a member of the Eight Deadly Sins. Neither one of them bears any resemblance to the wanted posters. Maybe the brown-haired girl because of her scar but-" He then sees Elizabeth's earing and his eyes widen. He walks towards them "Fate is smiling upon me today. The crest on that earing your wearing is from the royal family, which means you...conclusion, are Princess Elizabeth!" Her eyes widen. Hawk, Meliodas, and Y/N look to her.
"Hold on, you're a Princess?"
"Wait, are you, Princess Elizabeth, you're the third princess in the royal family!" Hawk says.
"An official decree has been issued from the capital to determine your whereabouts" He continues to walk closer "The order to capture you alive and in healthy condition. But if you lost your life in an unfortunate accident"
"Go now!" Meliodas shouts. Both Hawk and Elizabeth run.
"I must not let myself be captured! I can't afford to give up yet!"
"Conclusion!" He grabs his sword and swipes at the forest "Accidental death!" The whole forest is destroyed. Elizabeth opens her eyes to see Meliodas and Y/N above her.
"Hello!" Y/N says.
"You all right Hawk?" Meliodas asks, looking at him "You seem okay"
"Seriously! I'm shaped pork on a skewer" Hawk has a small twig in his back "Mom! Mommy!" He shouts, running past Twigo, crying.
"Pig? Well, no matter" Elizabeth closes her eyes in defeat and stands up.
"Elizabeth?" Y/N asks "Hey, what are you doing?" Elizabeth walks to Twigo
"There's no escape"
"Wait, hang on. You just said you couldn't afford to be caught or give up"
"Maybe if I surrender myself peacefully, he'll agree to take me back with him and your lives can be spared" Twigo takes out his sword and sends a slash to Elizabeth, only for Meliodas to tackle her away.
"Please, try to get away while you two still can!" Meliodas's left sleeve has been ripped off. Y/N, who walks over, looks down at Elizabeth.
"Think he wants to make sure neither of us gets out of here alive"
"Why" Elizabeth cries "I was so happy...when I met you two. I set out, searching for the Eight Deadly Sins all alone. It was hard, traveling by myself and I felt too scared" Twigo walks towards them "Walking around in that rusty armor, hoping nobody will recognize me" She cries more "But there wasn't anybody I could turn to for help. You two have shown such kindness, to someone you have never met before. I don't want to see you hurt. That's why I don't want to involve you in my problems anymore. Not when I don't even know your names. Meliodas and Y/N start remembering before smirking.
"Meliodas! If you really wanna know"
"And Y/N! Hello!" Elizabeth's eyes widen and she gasps.
"I don't believe it. You two can't be" They smile down at her "How can you? Your just?" Elizabeth looks to Meliodas's shoulder and Y/N's neck, where her collar has lifted to reveal her mark "Those symbols on your shoulder and neck there, some kind of beasts. Wait, that's a dragon! And a wolf!" Twigo is about to swing down on Meliodas and Y/N, only for it to push Twigo back and cut his cheek.
"How is this possible!" Meliodas and Y/N are standing, facing Twigo "My technique was flawless, I'm certain my blade struck them. But the one who felt the force of the blow, how could it have possibly been me! And what is that in your hand!" Meliodas has his sword out "A broken blade"
"Meliodas? Y/N? Is that who you are?"
"Wait a minute. Now your faces are beginning to look familiar. But if that is who you two truly are, how can you look the same you did?!"
"How kind of you to say," Y/N says. Both her and Meliodas get into a fighting position.
"All right, times up. Have you figured it out yet"
"No! It can't be" Twigo lifts his sword to bring down "And yet, you still dare to exist!" Y/N is in her wolf form and bites down on Twigo's sword, stopping the speed, and Meliodas counteracts with Twigo's "C-Conclusion. These are incomprehension, extraordinary powers. It's those of a legend!" Twigo then fly's up in the air, his armor breaking.
"Eight Deadly Sins. The Sin of Wrath" Meliodas says "The Dragon Sin, Meliodas!"
Y/N poofs back into Human.
"The Sin of Death," Y/N says "The Wolf Sin, Y/N!"
