Demon Princess (Meliodas) (On Hold)

~17~

Third Person's POV

"He's turned into some kind of hideous beast." Elizabeth's voice shakes as she says that as everyone glares at Chandler. Hawk lifts Gowther onto his back telling everyone to fall back as Chandler hold his cane with both hands unsheathing his sword. "Increase!" King shouts throwing his Spirit Spear which changed forms at Chandler. I jump to landing beside Ban as dust rise. "I'm gonna stay right here and buy you some time, alright? So, you take the others and run, Ban." King tells the tall man. "Are you crazy? I can't just leave you here all by yourself." Ban yells at the Fairy. Dust covers the Fairy's face for a second before clearing. "You'll only get in my way, so, go!" King yells. 

"Lady Elizabeth, take Diane!" He throws his girlfriend to the goddess who catches her easily. "No way! I'm gonna stay here and fight with you!" Diane tells the Fairy. "I'm sorry. Not this time." He says not looking back causing the Giant to gasp. "I may be a lame excuse for a king..." King says tears running down his face. "...but even if it's only at the end, all I want...is to protect you and the others!" "No, you can't! Please, no!" Diane shouts back with tears in her eyes while Etheria looks back and forth at them. "I'm begging you. Just get out of here!" King shouts back, then Chandler's sword comes straight for him breaking his spear and slicing straight through the ground. 

Chandler hums seeing mama Hawk floating on a sunflower and landing gracefully on the ground. "Always trying to carry the whole burden alone. Kings can lean on people too. There's no shame in doing that from time to time." Gloxinia announce his presence. Etheria and everyone else looks up from Drole's hand seeing the two Kings. "Princess it's good to see you've come to your senses." Gloxinia greets with a small smile. "What are you talking about. I'm the one who told you to not listen to what the Commandments say about Meliodas." Etheria laughs summoning her demon wings and flying up to Gloxinia with Meliodas. "It's King Gloxinia and King Drole!" King says. "I can't believe came here to help us out!" Diane yells surprised. "The future of Britannia, we're leaving it to you, the Seven Deadly Sins." Drole announces.

 "Additionally, they're our oldest and most cherished friends. So, protect Princess Etheria and Meliodas, Elizabeth too." He finishes putting them down onto mama Hawk's back. Etheria hugs Gloxinia and Drole before landing beside the Sins. They two Kings bow to Etheria, "It was a pleasure seeing you one last time." Gloxinia says on behalf of them both. Etheria nods, "It was nice seeing you both too." She smiles with teary eyes. "All right, then. Let's do this!" Gloxinia says with determination as they both turn to face Chandler. "We kings of a begone age... Are proud to set the groundwork for the future!" Drole yells getting in a fighting stance. "Well, well, the Pacifier Demon Chandler. I'm excited to find out just how powerful you truly are." Gloxinia greets.

"You're Gloxinia and Drole. How fascinating. Now, tell me. Why did you two rescue the Seven Deadly Sins?" Chandler asks already knowing the answer. "I don't think we have to answer any of your questions." Gloxinia counters. "While that nay be true, we're still dealing with quite a powerful Demon." Drole informs his fellow king. Gloxinia does some hand movements then they yell, "Combo Skill, Ore Tree Orudora!" Chandler yells as he get's trapped in some kind of stone tree.  "Amazing!" King yells amazed by what he just witnessed. The tree moves from side to side as Chandler tries to break free. "You can just leave Chandler to the two of us." Drole tells them. "Now's your chance to make a run for it." Gloxinia adds shooing them away with his hand. 

"No, I'm gonna fight with you guys. That monster, he's too strong!" King floats up to them with Diane on his shoulder missing the way Etheria's hand formed a fist when he said that. "Then count me in too!" Diane yells with determination. "Huh?" King looks at the tiny Giant. "And there's nothing you can do to stop me, you got that?" "Diane, really?" King asks as the two kings stare at them. "Ban! Do you think you could take care of the others for me?" King asks. "Sure, no problem." Ban doesn't protest this time. "Gloxinia, Drole, you can't!" Elizabeth tries stopping them. "Nothing you say will change our minds." Gloxinia tells her. "This is our opportunity to atone for betraying you." Drole says with his back turned to her. "At the fighting Festival, I assumed the resemblance was coincidental and simply ignored it." Drole starts.
