"So in summary you're going to serve me, and in turn I will allow you a home, a place if you will."

I lunged at the Demon Lord again, only to be held back by his two sons.

"Like hell I'd serve you! Filthy demon!"

"I see you are still brainwashed by what the goddesses make you believe. Tell me, what makes demons so wrong?"

"You attack all the other races, drive them into out conflict!"

"Who brought the other races in this war?"

"..."

"Precisely, so you see, we are in right."

"Do you know why the Goddesses are winning the war?"

"Please enlighten me."

"We work together. We are organized and work as a unit. There is less hate and anger in our ranks."

"But you were cast out from anger."

"...fine. It's a deal, on one condition."

"What?"

"I'm not touching my brother Mael."

"I won't make you, but in a time of war the unexpected can happen."

~Present Day

Alicost felt shivers go up her spine as she sensed Meliodas transforming back to his younger self. His power was growing by the second, but she sensed another presence was keeping it at bay... for now. What concerned her more was the sudden appearance to two familiar figures. No doubt Cusack and Chandlers were back. Alicost new Chandler would go to his old master as soon as possible. She had previously worked alongside the old man. He taught Meliodas magic while she taught hand to hand combat and sword play. She began to ready a spell to teleport.

Alicost appeared on the scene just as Chandler showed up. She immediately drew a golden sword and went hand to hand with Chandler.

"Why no magic?" the old demon cackled.

"Do you take me for a fool? I'm not planning on being on the receiving end of anymore full counters from you!" Alicsot said angrily. Black magic began to swirl around her as her hatred grew.

"Well I don't like the idea of being on the end of any of your malice!" Chandler said before jumping back and turning to his true form. 

"MALIFICAUNT!" she yelled as darkness was shot out at Chandler.

"FULL COUNTER!" he said, but it didn't work. He was thrown back and crashed on the ground.

"My the demon magic of hatred was a gift from the Demon Lord himself! Not even you can stop it!" Alicost yelled, charging at Chandler. The two continued to trade blows, and the dark presence that surrounded Alicost became more and more ominous.

"If she keeps this up she'll lose control, we gotta get out of here!" Merlin yelled to Hawk's Mom.

"Merlin!!!!!" Elizabeth shouted as Meliodas exited the tavern with her in his arms, not even giving any of the sins a single glance.

"Chandler. Let's go." he said firmly.

"Now you wait a second you little blond bastard." Alicost said, flying up to go face to face with Meliodas.

"How dare you talk to the young Master that way!" Chandler said angrily, but Meliodas motioned for her to stop.

"I think you have things to attend to Alicost.... little bottle of hell, RELEASE!" he said, and the bottle on Alicost's belt opened up. Black tendrils wrapped around Alicsot, and the thick sent of malice blanketed the air. Meliodas had forced her out of control. He ignored Elizabeth's pleas and continued.

"I'm certain you felt it, the archangels returning. Don't you want revenge for what they did to you?" he said with an evil grin.

"N-no... I dd--don't." Alicost gasped.

"Don't fight it Alicost... it's only how you really feel."

"Shu--t up... you-- lii-ttle... bra.." Alicost stuttered as her eyes flipped to be black as coals. "Kill. Kill Ludsheil. Kill for what he did."

"There it is... now go and seek your revenge." Meliodas said as he turned in left. "Oh, and take your toys with you."

Alicost snapped her fingers and Dreyfus, Ban, and Hendrickson appeared in their demonic forms. With another snap Alicost had transported them back to Leones.

"We have to go after Meliodas!" Diane yelled to Merlin.

"No. We have to return to Liones before Alicost burns the city to the ground." Merlin said, thoughts of her home returning to her mind. Leones would not be the next Belruin. With a flash of light Merlin transported the sins to the capital.

Meanwhile...

Alicost appeared above the three archangels.

"It's time for you to answer for your sins Ludshiel." her voice rang out. Gil jumped in front, but Alicost just batted him away.

"So this is what you've become. I'm glad I cast you out!" Ludisheil yelled, readying himself for a fight.

"No! Meliodas did this to her! She isn't this way normally!" Merlin yelled as she flew towards the scene along with her other sins.

"ALPHA ARK!" Alicost yelled out. What appeared looked exactly like the archangels's omega ark, but it was made of pure darkness. Alicost focused the magic on the three archangels, and their screams could be heard throughout the kingdom. Tarmiel and Sariel were down for the count, while Ludosheils stood up to fight.

"If you do this you can't reverse what has happened."

Both angels turned to see Gowther.

"You can't save him if you continue like this." he continued. It stunned Alicost long enought for him to peer into her mind.

"L-ludosheil... give m-me my... soul." Alicost stuttered. "Be-before I hurt anyone else."

"So this is just some twisted scheme for repentance?! That sickens me." Ludosheil said. Gowther was blasted back as Alicost reacted to the sly remark.

"I HAVE NEVER ONCE ASKED FOR FORGIVENESS! I HAVE ONLY ASKED FOR HELP FROM MY OLDER BROTHER. BUT APPARENTLY I CAN'T EVEN GET THAT!" Alicost spat as she charged up more magic. Ludosheil dropped his sword and took out a small jar from his belt. Something inside it glowed brighter than the sun. It was a beautiful soul. He slowly unscrewed the lid, and the soul made it's way towards Alicost.

"ORIGINAL SI-" she paused as the soul entered her body. She dropped to the ground and her eyes returned to normal. She was out cold. Ludosheil walked over and grabbed the black bottle from Alicost's belt. 

"OMEGA ARK!" he yelled, and the bottle exploded in a brilliant blaze of light. The bodies of those controlled fell to the ground. Alicost coughed up dark energy, and began to stand up.

"Don't get the wrong idea. I'm still pissed at you." she said to Ludosheil. "There's just more important things right now. Meliodas is planning on becoming demon lord using the commandments, but we've got an advantage."

"What is it?" Ludosheil reponded.

Alicsot held out something in her palm.

"It's the commandment of truth. I stole it from the stone body of Galland I while back, just in case. They'll have to kill me if they want this... and I really suck dying."

Ludosheil stayed silent, just looking out on the horizon.

"So how long are you planning to stay in that body. Seeing my older brother as a woman is pretty fucking weird."

Nothing.

"You know what? Keep on giving me the silent treatment. You never apologized for anything anyway. Some brother you are." Alicost said, before swiftly turning around, her wings creating a small breeze.

"Alicost..."

"What? You going to apologize for what you pulled?"

Silence.

"Yeah, I didn't think so." Alicost said, a single tear slipping down her cheek.
