The Demon's Forever [Meliodas]

044

Ban's P.O.V

"...Nd Live... For Ten... Drink one mouthful... years longer... Drink it all... Eternal Life~" I sing as I walk around Purgatory in a fox form. I turn into my human body, my hair has grown too long along with a beard and moustache. I'm drowning in my hair, I cough, "What have I been doing?!" I question.

I place my hand against my face with my eyes wide, "...That was no joke!! A little bit longer and I would have become a full-fledged resident of this side!! Just how many decades, no, centuries have passed since I came to Purgatory!?" I question and move my hand down to my side and look up, "CAP!! Y/N!! Where are you?! ANSWER ME!!!" I shout.

I feel pain within my shoulder and cough up blood, panting, "Cap'n...!"

I walk around here looking about for either of them and I see a Purgatory creature not far from me. The creature attacks me, so I throw a rock trapping the creature until it breaks and the rock. I punch the creature and somehow I'm chopped in half. As my body regenerates, the long hair I had is all cut off, "If you want a piece of me that badly, then let's dance! Bring it on, monster!"

I take a look at the monster as I punch it and I notice it's in the form of a dragon. The dragon and I fight together, I pant as the dragon lays opposite me, "Damn, you are one hell of a tough, persistent bastard! We must have been fighting for decades..." I say looking at my hair that's grown long again, "I'm in the middle of searching for my friend right now... But man... I'm really sleepy," I say and the dragon lays down with its tail around me.

I look up to see the dragon laid down, "What the heck? This thing's actually grown attached to me?" I question, "C'mon Cap'n~ Let's go home together with Y/N already. Back on the other side, everyone's holding out, doing their best all for you. Besides," I close my eyes and see Elaine, "There's a woman precious to me that I'm dying to see again."

"Yeah... We can..." A voice says.

My eyes widen hearing a voice, "What was that just now?" I question as I look ahead of me then I look beside me to see the dragon gone, "Speaking of which, where's that bastard dragon gone to?" As I look to my right I stop and my eyes soften, "So this is where you were..." I say softly as the Cap'n lays beside me naked as well.

The Cap'n starts waking up, "...Hey there, partner. How you feelin'?" I ask as he slowly sits up.

"Why... Why am I seeing an illusion like this...? There's no way he'd be here in Purgatory..." Meliodas says.

I chuckle looking at him, "I'm the real thing, baby... Or should I say, Cap'n," I smile looking at him.

The captain gets up and wraps an arm around me, he starts crying, "WAAAA!!!!"

After he's finally calmed down we look out at Purgatory, "We had completely given up," Cap'n says and I look at him, "We figured we were never going to be able to get out of Purgatory or get back to the real world ever again," He grins, "And I figured I'd never again get to see you again, Ban..." He looks at him, "But what are you doing in Purgatory? Has the immortal Ban finally kicked the bucket after all?"

"As if, dummy," I chuckle, "I've come to get you Cap and Y/N... Where is she?" I ask.

"Don't tell me... You know of a way to get back over there... to the real world?!" Cap'n questions, "Y/N is nearby, she's never far from me," A points up and I look up to see a phoenix hovering over us.

"Yes... Well..." I say.

"Thought so," Cap'n says.

"You really are a moron!" A voice snaps and I look to see the phoenix landing beside the Captain. I watch as the creature changes into Y/N, her H/C long covering her also naked form, "Without even knowing how to get back, you just recklessly dove into Purgatory?" She looks up at me with her big E/C.
