The holy knight walks over to Meliodas bed and rips the blankets off of him, revealing a shirtless Meliodas who was gripping his sword tightly in his hand


"Theres a bit of an age difference there mate, besides i don't really think he's into men" Arcadia grins at the holy knight though on the inside she was fuming as was ready to rip the mans head off


"it seems that there is no reason for you to keep this sword any longer, so i shall take it with me" the knight says and grabs onto the hilt of the blade in Meliodas hand though no matter how hard he tugged on it the sword wouldn't come lose



*12 years ago*


"come on captain... whats the big deal? Just show me your sword already" Ban whines as his pink cheeks went even redder from the amount of alcohol that the man had consumed. At this moment Arcadia, Ban and Meliodas all had a mug of booze in their hands and they were sat around the camp fire while the rest of the sins slept


"why are you so interested in looking at this hunk of junk anyway?" Meliodas asks


"well last time i checked, you were one of the two captains of the eight deadly sins so... why the hell are you walking around with a sword like that? i mean look at Bug, her swords are freaking awesome" Ban laughs and gestures over to the girl who was downing booze like there was no tomorrow


"I told you not to call me that, asshole" Arcadia mumbles out though everyone knew that Arcadia enjoyed the name, even though she would never admit it so Ban just kept on calling her that anyways


"I mean come on captain... did you really think that i wouldn't be curious about it?" Ban asks ad stands up, making his way over to Meliodas who was sitting across from him. Arcadia watched Ban in interest, curious about how this was going to turn out, though she already knew it wouldn't end well for Ban


"Come on, just let me have a little peek" Ban says and grabs ahold of Meliodas sword. Meliodas dropss his mug and a blank look covers his face as his hand appeared on the sword and stopped Ban from pulling it out of the sheath


"let go Ban" Meliodas says, the blank look still on his face though Arcadia could feel the anger radiating out of him


"come on Banzy, just leave the captain alone, you know he doesn't want anyone touching the sword, your only going  to get yourself hurt" Arcadia tells the boy as she began to worry for him, Ban was immortal, but then again, so was Meliodas


"Just step away Ban, you don't want to make me angry" Meliodas tells the blue haired man which only makes Ban grin wickedly 


"make you angry? are you serious? You Bug and i have been hanging together for a lot of years now and in all that time i have never seen you get mad once. Bug was always the one to get angry and then somehow you were always able to calm her down" Ban says and still doesn't let go of the sword


"I mean it Ban, let go" Meliodas demands


"that reminds me, I'm also interested in how you ended up being called the dragon sin of wrath, i mean if anyone should be the sin of wrath its probably that little chaotic angel over there don't you think?" Ban asks and gestures towards Arcadia who rolled her eyes at him


"Come on Banzy seriously, just quit it already" arcadia tells the boy, knowing that Meliodas was getting angry with him and that it would end up well


"If doing this means that i get to see what you look like when your angry, then i want to see it even more" Ban grins "No i want to steal it"


Suddenly the sound of a sword being unsheathed is heard and blood splatters everywhere. Meliodas was now standing up and his sword was reshethed, ban had blood all over him and was chuckling


"well what do you know Captain, its like i just saw a hidden side  of you, cool" Ban says with a laugh


"Boys" Arcadia mumbles under her breathe and rolls her eyes as she looks between them


Meliodas looks at the ground as he says"Im sorry about that Ban, but this sword is..." 




"Stop. what do you think you are doing to sir meliodas!" Elizabeth excaims in worry


"Fine then, if i cant get it out of your hand, then i guess your hand will have to come along with me too" The holy knight says and grabs his own blade and then goes to swing it down on Meliodas arm but it is stopped when Arcadia appears in front of him and catches the blade in her fingertips, though nobody could see her face as she looked towards the ground and parts of her hair covered her face. Extreme amounts of power began to flow out from her


"impossible, no one could survive after that much poison" Dr Dana says in shock as everyone stares at the  girl in disbelief and astonishment


"too stuborn to die i see. But i will be getting that sword" The holly knight says


"you wont be getting that sword and you definitely wont be hurting him. Id die before i let anyone kill  meliodas or get that sword" Arcadia growls as she continues to stare at the ground


"lady Arcadia" Elizabeth mutters out softly


"spout all of the nonsense you wish but the princess and the sword will be mine" the holy knight laughs 


Arcadia looks up to make eye contact with him and everyone gasped as they looked at her face, she had dark empty, purple eyes and a black marking on her forehead and then suddenly A similar marking appeared on Meliodas forehead and his eyes shot open and the colour matched arcadias 


"Ill kill you before i let that happen" Arcadia growls and goes to kill him but stops when she is pulled into the embrace of Meliodas and she feels herself begin to calm down and both of their eyes went back to normal and the dark markings disappeared 


The holy knight took this as his chance to jump out the window of the room and start running away


"I thought i told you not to heal me" Meliodas mumbles as he buried his head in her neck and she just lets out a soft sigh


"you knew that i couldn't help myself" Arcadia mumbles back and they pull apart from the hug with matching soft grins
