The Eighth Sin Of Chaos and Mystery

Chapter 10: Dark Pulse

Tsubaki's pov

I stared at King, who was standing on his spear which was still embedded in Ban's chest. "Hey, Ban." He greeted, "Hey now, King. What's the deal?" Ban questioned, "Isn't it obvious. I came to save you." The way that King was teasing Ban, suggested that he didn't like him one bit. But, why? Why does King hold so much hatred towards Ban? He hasn't seen him for years, and all the sudden he wants to murder Ban. What the hell? This doesn't make sense unless they ran into each other over the years we were all separated. "Save me, eh? Much appreciated." Ban responded, making me roll my eyes. "You're most welcome." King stated, "I'm doing this for Captain, Tsubaki and Diane." He added, making me look back over at the two. "Guys, I hate to cut your argument short, but I think you need to focus on the person who's trying to kill us." I snapped, making Ban look to me with wide eyes. I've always a short temper, which often got me into trouble with Meliodas, because I always fought with him. He often would smack me up against the head if I started arguments with others, in order to get me to stop. "Well, I see, you still have that same temper as you did back then. You really haven't changed, have you, Bean?" King teased, making me growl at him. "How many times do I have to tell you to not call me that?!" I snapped, "You are not going to get me to stop calling you that, Bean. It's your nickname, so deal with it." I let out an agitated growl, nearly losing my temper. "King!! You little brat!" I snapped, making Ban chuckle as he grew amused.

"I always figured you would betray me. But it's still a shame, Grizzly's Sin of Sloth, King." Guila said, making me look at her. I looked back at King, growling under my breath as I realized that he had teamed up with her.

"You really call this a betrayal?" King asked, "I had no intention of siding with you from the start." Ah, I see what he did. He played with Guila. "It just so happened that the Kingdom's goal of defeating the Seven Deadly Sins coincided with my goal of defeating Ban. But the situation's changed." I glared harshly at him, which he seemed to take notice of and slightly sweat dropped. "I really couldn't care less, but would you stop literally talking about me behind my back?" Ban asked, "I swear when this is over, King will have another thing coming. And he won't know what the hell hit him. Trying to kill Ban.. He'll pay for that." I glared at King, which he noticed. I could see a little drop of sweat roll down his temple, as I glared at him. I then turned my attention away from him, shifting my eyes onto Guila, who was standing just a few feet away from me.

"I see. That's quite the assumption you have there." Guila spoke, before holding up her sword towards us. I immediately put up my guard, knowing that something was about to happen. "Short bomb." I slammed my hands onto the crystals in front of us, creating a large ice shield as the attack collided with it and Chastifeol. "Amazing.. So that's the legendary Spirit Spear, Chastiefol, a holy weapon crafted from the Sacred Tree found only in the Fairy Realm. They say it's stronger than steel, and that it holds the mysterious qualities of the Sacred Tree. And your power to evoke those qualities is... "Disaster". Seems like this might be fun after all. Please, come at me five-on-one." I quirked an eyebrow at Guila, not trusting her motives.

"No, it'll be one-on-one."

"Is that a joke?" Guila questioned, "Yeah? Who says you can fight her on your own? I was fighting her first." I snapped, glaring at King. King shifted his attention to me, sticking out his tongue which made me go to pounce on him. "Yeah, you're not fighting her anymore. She's going to fight me. So why don't you go stand by Captain and not do anything else?" I growled, getting frustrated with King but before I could do anything, I was dragged back by Ban. "Let me go, Ban!! I want to strangle that fairy!! Let me at him!!" I shouted, but he refused to let me go. He simply threw me over his shoulder, taking a spot next to Meliodas. I zoned out of the fight, not bothering to watch it since I was too pissed off with King. I could tell that Guila was having trouble fighting him, because I could hear her struggling to dodge him. I let out a loud cough, as smoke blew past us making Ban set me on my feet. I heard King shout something, which was followed by a loud explosion.
