Previously,
"N-No you're supposed to be dead, how are you here!?" She demanded angrily.
Ryoko chuckles coldly "Correction I was dead, but I'm back now and here to save both Meliodas and Zeldris from destruction" Ryoko declared her eyes glowing menacingly, shocking Elizabeth.
"W-What do you mean?" She stuttered, Ryoko frowns.
"You exactly know what I mean, don't play innocent" Ryoko blurted getting straight to the point, Elizabeth scowls at her.
Ryoko looks behind her shoulders glancing towards the Sins.
"I see they wouldn't happen to be my beloved Meliodas's team?" Ryoko asks curiously and Elizabeth glares at her.
"He's not your beloved and that's not of your business" Elizabeth stated firmly.
Ryoko chuckles "Technically before you bewitched him, he was my beloved and he will still be mine once the spell wears off and from the looks of things it is my business since he is their Captain plus they need to know the truth and I doubt they trust you now" Ryoko stated confidently, Elizabeth scowls even deeper.
"You're not the only one who could sense emotions Elizabeth" Ryoko bluntly stated and Elizabeth frowns.
"And I sense a lot of distrust and doubt in them, Elizabeth and it's about time you receive your karma" Ryoko muttered coldly true she was hurt by Meliodas for abandoning her but she was completely disgusted by Elizabeth's selfish actions.
Ryoko turns to face Luciodel who was coming her face "I thought I have recognized that dark magic anywhere so you're still alive Nightshade?" He blurted getting straight to the point.
Ryoko giggles "Straightforward as always Ludociel but yes I'm currently using Princess Margaret as my vessel in exchange for saving her lover, you know me I have always been a romantic at heart, true love should always be treasured as always" Ryoko remarks sadly her purple eyes reflecting sadness and loneliness before forming back into aloofness.
Elizabeth frowns looking at the witch "What do you mean saving Meliodas and Zeldris from destruction?" She blurted and Ryoko remained impassive.
"I don't have to answer to you Elizabeth" Ryoko coldly stated, Elizabeth's face formed into a further scowl.
"But you do have to explain your return, especially with the Archangels forming an alliance with the Holy Knights and The Seven Deadly Sins I have heard many stories about them protecting the Kingdom from Demons although I'm surprised their Captain was Meliodas himself" Ludociel interjected with a smirk.
"I haven't been aware of it until now, a lot has changed since I have been dead" Ryoko deadpanned towards the Archangel.
"Certainly you were aware of the Holy War 3,000 years ago weren't you?" Ludociel bluntly stated to the witch.
"Yes I was and forgive me for being so cold but my coven were mostly neutral and wanting nothing to with the war. If to be blunt the war was a bunch of nonsense between two clans who wanted superiority over another and many lives were loss in the crossfire" Ryoko coldly stated her usual warm amethyst eyes were now a frosted gray.
As expected Ludociel had a scowl on his face but she could careless about his feelings she was more concerned about saving the Kingdom from destruction as well as saving Meliodas from destroying himself.
"So you're back to finish what you have started, to end the Holy War?" Ryoko blurted.
"And to eradicate the demon race once and for all" Ludociel added.
"I'm here to save Meliodas not to kill him, I won't hear otherwise." Ryoko blurted.
"I agree with Lady Ryoko" Merlin remarks.
Elizabeth was shocked turning to Merlin's direction "What?!" She sputtered and Merlin gives her a cold stare.
"To be blunt the Seven Deadly Sins and I don't trust you Elizabeth considering you have lied to us about what really happened 3,000 years ago" Merlin spat coldly, Elizabeth scowls.
Ryoko's eyes softened at the thought of Meliodas suffering she still loves him regardless but it still hurt.
Ryoko turns to Ludociel "Although I don't like this however, it won't be easy to fight the demons on our own especially now that Meliodas is back to his former self. So I'm going to join with the Seven Deadly Sins forming an alliance with stigma" Ryoko declared and Ludociel smirks.
"This is a first Nightshade will be joining us, be prepared because there's no turning back after this" he warned.
Ryoko frowns "So be it than" she interjected with determination.
Ryoko turns to the Boar Sin "If it's alright with you and the others that I joined you, I swear to you I will bring back Meliodas even if it cost me my life" Ryoko promised and Merlin could see Ryoko was genuine.
"Very well than" Merlin answered nodding her head, the Sins nodded in agreement placing their trust into the witch and Ryoko smiles, the only one who wasn't happy was Elizabeth.
"I won't let you all down" Ryoko swore.
Ludociel chuckles "I see we all have agreed?" He asked and Ryoko nods "Yes" she answered.
He took out his sword forming a blade of light "In the name of the Supreme Deity" he declared.
Ryoko formed a blade of darkness "In the name of the one I love" she declared.
The two blade crossed "As of now both The Seven Deadly Sins and Stigma formed an alliance" they shouted throughout the castle walls.
Meanwhile,
Meliodas standing on ledge of a cliff in the outskirts of Liones baffled, recognizing that surge of magic.
"R-Ryoko it can't believe it you're alive!" He muttered to him in disbelief, tears formed in his black eyes falling down his face.
After 3,000 years of suffering the love of his life was back in this world.
Later,
Ryoko was alone outside Liones Castle, she looks up at moon tear forming down her eyes and she started to sobbed loudly she could feel both Meliodas and Zeldris suffering throughout those 3,000 years.
Even if it's temporary she wants to see them one last time before she passes onto the next life that's all she wants.
"I want to see you both one last time before I die" Ryoko muttered.
Flashback
Ryoko lays dying she looks up too see Zeldris crying this was the first time she has seen him crying, she was used to seeing him being so strong and proud, to see him so broken makes her heartache it was the last sight she ever saw before she die.
Flashback ends
"I will save you both no matter what" she muttered to herself with a sad smile on her face, her purple eyes glancing at the moon.
