The Star Blessed Twelve (SDS Fic)

Chapter 11

Eventually the group found themselves in what looked to be a small valley, jutting rock walls raising up on both sides of them. In front of them there was a beast in large purple armor with a group of Holy Knights in front of it.

"Perhaps it's no surprise. But to think that he made short work of wiping out the Vanguard we sent in..." A female knight said as she stood in front of the giant with a sword held tightly in her hands.

"Those scrubs who let him wipe them out were just too spineless. Right, Slader?" Another one of the knights said- this one having long silver hair and red armor.

In front of him, Titus watched as Meliodas, Ban, and King jumped forwards not wanting to be left behind Titus jumped alongside them and the four of them landed between the knights and the armored giant.

"Gowther! Are you alright?" Meliodas asked.

"Slader, are they...?" The silver haired knight stared.

"No need for superfluous thoughts or inquiries. Our job is to eradicate our target in solemn silence. Concentrate." The masked man- Slader- said.

"Captain-" King started.

"Whoever moves, loses." Meliodas said, and everyone on the battle ground was completely still, even when it started to drizzle nobody moved. Until someone walked right onto the battlefield.

"There you are! I apologize for being so late. I searched all over town, but was unable to find any glue." The newcomer said and Titus looked behind him to see a green haired boy walk right up to the giant. It took a second before the newcomer looked behind him to see what was happening in the clearing. "What is it?"

"You mean, what's up with you!" Ban shouted out in utter shock.

"Me? I'm-"

"Damn it we're too late!" Another voice shouted and everyone in the clearing looked towards the edge of the forest, seeing two women walking onto the clearing.

"Aarona, Brooke! You made it!" Titus exclaimed as the two walked onto the battle field.

"This situation was so tense just a second ago... now it just feels like some kind of gathering." King said.

Suddenly the armored giant started to shake, drawing attention towards it. "Afraid..." It muttered. "Gowther... Afraid..." He suddenly sprung into action and raised his fist into the air. Without hesitation he swung down towards the ground making the sins and Titus jump out of the way to avoid being crushed.

"Kill him." Slader said, and the Holy Knights jumped up into the air, only to be send back down towards the ground by Meliodas. The said blond jumped towards Slader, most likely planning on taking down the leader of the group. Though as he did that the other knights started to try to attack 'Gowther'. Keyword 'try'.

Brooke had created a brief updraft around the armored giant which caused the attacking Holy Knights to be sent back, and no matter how many times they had tried to jump towards it Brooke would create a harsh wind to send them flying back. One of the knights noticed what was happening and rushed straight towards Brooke, her sword drawn.

She swung towards the bluenette, though each time Brooke managed to dodge the attack with ease. Though as Brooke was dodging the attacks the silver haired knight had jumped towards her in hopes of taking her down while she was distracted. There was a sudden sound of metal clashing with metal and Brooke glanced over her shoulder to see Aarona standing between the two of them, a giant golden Battle Axe with red jewel-like details in her hands as she blocked the knight's blade.

"Thanks Aarona!"

"No problem!" Aarona shouted, then she looked at the silver haired knight, "Don't you think ganging up on a girl is a little unfair? She'd be able to take the both of you down with such ease that it's be unfair to Titus and I. We want to fight as well." She pushed forwards with her weapon and made the knight jump back, creating distance between the two of them. "Now, let's dance." Aarona swung down with her axe, which the Holy Knight dodged. Though as it made contact with the ground the rock split in half, thin cracks reaching out from the larger crack that had been made upon contact. The silver haired knight looked at the axe with wide eyes, a look of terror appearing on his face as he watched Aarona pick up back up with ease as if it didn't just almost make the valley they were standing in larger. With a grin she jumped closer, swinging towards the man again, continuing the fight between the two of them.
