Sunshine and Moonlight | Seven Deadly Sins [DISCONTINUED]

X

Meliodas begins cackling, but I'm not too worried. "This is it!" he grins. "I've got my power back!"

I look around, and see that everyone else looks terrified.

"Just kidding." Melio says, and Howzer and Gilthunder fall over, quickly jumping back up.

"Your turn now, Salomea." Jenna says brightly, and I step closer, Jenna summoning another Goddess Amber, roughly the same size, but filled with a bright white liquid, with a few spots of black in it.

"Hey, Lady Jenna! I thought you said Salomea's Goddess Amber would be bigger than yours!" Howzer yells, and I can practically see Meliodas's smirk.

"Oh, this is only half of my power." I say offhandedly, and I hear a thud, presumably from Howzer and Gilthunder falling over again.

"Speaking of with, Jenna, when do I get back the rest of my power?"

"Oh, you have to do another test for that." Jenna says calmly, and I fall over in shock.

I get back up, dusting myself off, and walk up to Jenna, who breaks the Goddess Amber. I'm engulfed in a bright white light, and my body begins to absorb it...

*Third Person POV*

As they all look back, the white light no longer burning their eyes, they notice that Salomea looks very different. She's wearing a beautiful white dress, and emitting a faint white light.

"Goddess Salomea." Jenna says, stepping forward.

"She's a Goddess?" the others, except for Meliodas, gasp.

"Hello, Jenna." Salomea nods curtly in a way of greeting, her gaze then flickering to the others.

"Aaah, Daughter of Belialuin." she says, turning to Merlin, who looks utterly perplexed. "It's been a while. And hello to you too, Howzer, Gilthunder, Gowther, King Arthur, Fairy King Harlequin, and, of course, Meliodas."

"Hey, Merlin." Meliodas begins. "Could you send Sal and I to the Ten Commandments?"

"Are you crazy? Throwing yourself straight into the enemy's camp is suicide!" Gilthunder cries.

"I can do it." Salomea states, everyone turning back to her.

"I can confirm the exact point of drop-off. We will end up in point-blank range of Galand. But once we teleport there, there will be a ten second time lag before we can teleport back. It is hard to imagine that during that time that the Ten Commandments will be quietly doing nothing." she continues emotionlessly. "In other words, we have ten seconds to last on our own against them. Do you still want me to do it?"

"Yeah, get on with it!" Meliodas exclaims.

"You're taking this so lightly!" Howzer miffs.

"Very well." Salomea sighs.

"Meliodas... Gil and Howzer are right." Hendrickson pleads. "The Ten Commandments are just too strong!"

"I'm just going to give them a little greeting." is his only response, before the two disappear.

*Still Third Person*

"Yo!" Meliodas gives a two-fingered salute to the Commandments, a bright light shining behind him.

Ten.

"Meliodas?!" Zeldris yells, drawing his sword.

"Wait!"

Galand jumps in front of Meliodas, giving him a cold look.

"Nobody make a move. This is the prey I failed to kill last time... so I'll be the one to finish him off!" the armoured man says.

"Are you sure about that?" a cold voice comes from behind Meliodas. "Do you really think you can take on the both of us?"

Nine.

Zeldris's breath hitches in his throat as he recognises who it belongs to, Melascula leaping in behind the figure.

"He won't have to." Melascula smirks, the light disappearing to reveal Salomea, standing gracefully, still in her Goddess form. "I'll take care of you for him."

Meliodas punches Galand, sending him flying, as Salomea whirls around, kicking Melascula in the stomach. The two back up, ending up back-to-back.

Meliodas then leaps up, driving Galand's head into the ground, as Salomea sends a burst of white light at Melascula, the Demon being hit in the same place as she was kicked, falling backwards.

Eight.

"You're... a little different from last time, aren't you?" Galand asks.

Galand then whirls his scythe around him, but ends up with Meliodas on the edge of his scythe. The boy says: "I only came back for a little while, that's all." as Salomea leaps up, jumping over to Melascula and picking her body up, whirling it around.

Seven.

Meliodas then kicks Galand in the face, before punching him, as Salomea releases Melascula, the Demon flying through the air to land on top of Galand.

Six.

Meliodas continues punching Galand, while Salomea brings out Order, using it to absorb the blows Melascula are sending at her.

"Anything less... and I'd be bored!" Galand cries, as Meliodas draws Lostvayne, bringing it halfway out, before slamming it back into the hilt.

Suddenly, blood spurts out of multiple gashes in the armour, the Demon crying out in pain.

Five.

Melascula manages to get out of Salomea's grasp, saying "What a bother." as she flies back to Edinburgh Castle.

Meliodas walks closer to the rest of the Commandments.

Four.

"Zeldris..." Salomea murmurs, but Zeldris just ignores her.

Three.

"Don't glare at me like that." Meliodas teases, hands on his hips. "It's been so long since I've said hi that I figured I'd take some time to catch up."

Two.

"There's nothing to talk about." Zeldris seethes, still ignoring Salomea, who by now has faint tears in her eyes. "What there is, Meliodas, is resentment towards you and the desire for revenge against the four races."

Salomea steps closer, moving next to Meliodas, finally speaking up. "You're so cold, Zeldris." she teases, although there is no light in her eyes. "We were friends, remember? At least hear us out."

Zeldris just turns his head away, and Salomea looks down, crestfallen.

"The war ended long ago." Meliodas continues. "Britannia's a land of peace now. But if you guys try to continue what you started 3,000 years ago...."

One.

"Then the Eight Deadly Sins and I will crush you with everything we've got." he finishes.

"I told you, there's nothing to talk about." Zeldris retorts.

"I'm not talking, I'm warning you." Meliodas says simply.

Fraudrin leaps, landing just behind Meliodas, while Zeldris jumps right in front of Salomea.

Zero.

Meliodas and Salomea disappear into thin air, leaving Fraudrin hopelessly slashing at nothing, while Zeldris has his hand out, as if to caress Salomea's cheek, but she's no longer there.

The façade finally gone, he slowly crumbles, standing there, a tear dripping from his cheek.

"Salomea..."
