Purity's Greed

Chapter 1: Unexpected Allies

A black hole appeared in the sky above a forest. "OHHHH SHIIIT!!!!" Out fell a man screaming. He landed in a tree then fell into a bush below. The man groaned in pain and stood up, rubbing the back of his head. "God, that was unpleasant. Where am I?" he said. The man has pale, blue, spiky hair, red eyes, a tall muscular figure, and a red fox tattooed on his waist. He's wearing a red fur jacket with black spots and green pants.

"How long was I in there?" he questioned while looking around the forest. "Geez, Purgatory definitely did a number on me." He wandered around the forest until he came across a trail. He decided to follow it. "God damnit, Captain. Why do you always have to be like that, huh?" he whispered to himself while walking along the path. 

Suddenly, he felt an immense amount of magical power coming from the opposite direction he was walking in. Feeling curious, he turned around and started running towards the source.

"Shut up! Hellblaze!" A ball of fire erupted in the middle of a village, completely destroying one of the houses. "Idiot! Your weak flames will never hurt him," a woman said. She has short, dirty blonde hair with darkness covering her chest, right leg, groin, and left arm. Two men stood in front of her, one holding the other in a choke hold. Monspeet, the one in control, has wavy brown hair, a small moustache, and a muscular build with stripes of darkness covering his torso and arms. Estarossa, the one subdued, is much larger than Monspeet. He has silver hair, with a style similar to his older brother, and a black crest above his left eye.

"Wait a second. These presences, they feel familiar" the man said as he continued running down the trail. "It feels like three Commandments. Am I near Camelot? What the hell is going on?" He kept running and running until he came across a village and saw a huge cloud of smoke rising towards the sky with flames spread out all across the ground.

Estarossa was struggling to breathe. He was coughing and desperately trying to remove Monspeet's grip from his neck. "Damnit. Let me...ahh!" Estarossa said as Monspeet tightened his grip and continued to lecture him. "Just give up your selfish desire to become the Demon King. If you were Meliodas or Zeldris, it would be an entirely different scenario." Estarossa gasped for air. "AHH...AHH!" Monspeet continued, "If you ever dare to absorb another Commandment, you will be consumed by the darkness, and die.  " His hold got tighter and tighter. "GAHH UGH...AHH!" Estarossa reached out towards the sky and took one last breath. His arms fell to the ground. He's dead...or so they thought.

"That settles things. What should we do?" the woman said. "Stay back! Get away from him!" Monspeet yelled to her. "Wha- AHH!" Estarossa grabbed her neck and lifted her off the ground with his left hand, readying his right to punch right through her chest. Monspeet panicked. His only option was to swap places with her but he was stopped by a familiar voice.

"Vanishing Kill!" a pink beam of light struck Estarossa's arm, cutting it clean off. The woman fell to the ground gasping for air. The three looked at the door frame to see the silhouette of a man. He walked towards them with a three-sectioned staff hanging over his shoulder.

"Well well well, what is going on here?" he said as the three Commandments stared at him in shock. "Ban?!" both Monspeet and the woman said simultaneously. Ban walked over to her, offering to help her up. "How goes it, Ms. Purity? You good?" He said. Her name is Derieri of Purity. She grabbed his hand while holding her neck. "Yeah. W-why did you help us? We're enemies." Derieri said and Ban shrugged his shoulders. "Dunno. I just didn't want to see you get skewered, that's all." he said. "Oh...thanks," she said. "No problem, and besides, I got a little score to settle with this asshole," Ban said as he shot a glare at Estarossa.

Monspeet walked over to them. He thanked Ban and shook his hand in agreement to fight Estarossa together. He told him their current situation.

Estarossa was kneeling on the ground while holding his stub of an arm. He started chuckling as  darkness spewed out of his shoulder and reattached the rest of his arm to his body.

Estarossa said while laughing "I never thought I'd see the day. One of the Seven Deadly Sins and two of the Ten Commandments teaming up...to fight me." 

He stood up. "Tell me Fox Sin, or should I say, Ban... How were you able to harm me? You should've been stricken with the effects of my Commandment." Estarossa questioned while Ban said "There's no need for me to hate a little scrub like yourself." Estarossa said, "Is that so? You're starting to sound like Escanor." There was a slight pause. Estarossa vanished and reappeared in front of Ban, punching him in the chest sending him flying back, hitting a boulder outside. "Ban!" Derieri yelled. Monspeet  faced Estarossa, who had fallen down on one knee. "W-what's going on? W-why do I feel completely drained?" Estarossa questioned. "Hunter Fest!" Ban yelled as he emerged from the dirt cloud. Derieri and Monspeet turned to Ban who is now bigger than before with purple mist emanating from his body. He walked back towards his new allies and said, "Nice try demon, but you're gonna have to do a lot better than that!"

"Now, let's get started!"

Well, here you go. I hope you enjoyed. Comment down below to let me know what you guys think. I have the next seven chapters completed so I want to know how this does before I upload the rest. This is sort of a "test" chapter per se.  If this does well, I'll start uploading on a weekly basis, probably every Sunday. 

Hope you enjoyed! :)
