   "Time for the match to get under way!" The ref called out. Ban was stretching out his shoulders.

   "Sure would be nice if we had more room to move around." Captain laughed, "So what's with the laughing? You really looking forward to fighting with me that much Captain?" Ban switched to cracking his knuckles.

   "I was thinking back to the old days. We had about this much space then, didn't we?" Ban grinned, which made me give off a soft smile myself.

   "It's been a while. Which time are you talking about?"

   "Don't worry, cause you'll remember it soon enough!" The Captain held up his hands before moving at incredible speeds and punching Ban in the face before he could even react.

   "Oh yeah!" Ban answered, grinning, "I think I remember now!" The ref almost calls it early but Ban changes everything by snapping back into the fight at the last second and stopping himself with his feet. Then, catching Meliodas, he slams him towards the ground only for Meliodas to catch himself with his hands and grab Ban's head with his legs, slamming the taller man into the ground head first, throwing up pieces of the ring. Ban, however, continues instantly by throwing the Captain into the air with a kick and then attacking with a flurry of punches, leaving the Captain to use his arms to defend himself.

   "That's nothing!" The Captain stops Ban dead in his tracks, launching him back into the ring. Ban hits so hard that I feel the ground shake as a crack digs through the ring and I can only imagine how it's affected the ground below. Questions from the crowd ring out, wandering if Ban is dead. Of course, seconds later Ban sits back up, unharmed. The expression on his face is a dull one.

   Suddenly, they're both moving lightning fast again, throwing punch and kick at one another only to be blocked. Finally, Meliodas hits Ban in the stomach and then in the face, sending him flying as blood squirts out of his mouth. Ban falls back down on his back and seconds later Meliodas is on his hands and knees. Ban sits back up in the unnatural way he always does.

   "You jerk. You've gone and done it now," The Captain tells him. Ban chuckles, his throat dry. Ban stands back up, rolling his back to swing his head up. His injuries have already healed. He rushes at the Captain and the Captain throws a punch, but stops dead in surprise. Meanwhile, Ban, who's ran behind Meliodas, punches him downwards, into the ring.

   "I'm floating like a butterfly now," Ban announces, hopping on his feet as he gives the air light punches. A smile printed on his face. Meliodas replies by punching his face from the side, sending teeth flying but Ban stops himself from going to far.

   "You knocked out one of my teeth! Or not," Ban jokes, showing off how his canine has already grown back. Meliodas jumps at him with a kick but Ban headbutts him away. Meliodas stops himself once more on one knee.

   "You guys see that?" Diane interrupts, her voice soft.

   "It's getting harder for the Captain to follow Ban's movements now," King answered.

   "Do you think his stamina's starting to run out then?"

   "Once the Captain started slowing down, then Ban's agility shot through the roof," King answered.

   "And remember, the Captain said, 'You jerk. You've gone and done it now.'" I reminded.

   "What are you trying to say?" Elizabeth asked.

   "Ban's magic ability, Snatch, is able to capture opponents physical skills like speed and power," King explained.

   Ban ran at Meliodas, punching him in the face, but Meliodas did a flip and threw Ban over his head and into the ground over and over again.
