Narrator's p.o.v

A lighting struck.

Capturing the group in some lighting bolts and someone decided to receso themselves. It was a handsome looking man, with long pink hair that got down the neck almost touching his back he also had blue eyes. He wore a grey and dark blue armor a belt to put his sword in.

"I've finally found you... Seven Deadly Sins" He speaked calmly but also with hatred towards the group. More specifically to the 2 menbers of the Seven Deadly Sins.

"This power.. Yep, without a doubt this is a Holy Knight" said Meliodas refering to new revealed Knight in a calmed way.

"Gilthunder..." said Elizabeth at first to herself but then she asked the Knight "You're Gilthunder, right?" she said anxious, confused and with worry tonthe pinked-haired man. She then continued to así "Why... Why are you..." she asked to the man and yet it also sounded like she was asking herself again.

Meliodas noticied this of course and decided to ask away "Do you know him Elizabeth?" she inmediatly replied "Yes. He was one of the Knights that my father..." She started but a certain blonde, buff, Vampire had already went in thought by that time and wasn't really listening. Gilthunder said "I'm stronger than the Seven Deadly Sins" (*Cough* *Cough* Escanor *Cough). Meliodas aked him why all this hatred. Gilthunder said it was Revenge from his father's Death and told him the story. Meliodas replied with "I don't have that much memory of that day...

But all I remember was that The Grand Master of the Holy Knights had called all of the Sins to the castle but when we got there only his corpse was there. Knights from all over the Kingdom were waiting outside and started to attack the place. We decided to split up and the last thing I remember were the words 'Sorry... captain...' and I passed out. I woke up in a hole and there's were I met Hawk." he finished explaining but of course the fantasy coloured-haired guy didn't believe it. He was letting Elizabeth to but she decided to stay and try to protect his friends Hawk said that the electricity was making him numb and after he said that Gilthunder kicked him away and Elizabeth went behind him.

Then had let Meliodas free to show him his power. The Battle started with a slash of the sword of the pinked-haired man towards Meliodas.

Meliodas decided to block ir with his own broken sword and got pushed away from the force of the attack. He had landed in a rock a few meters away but Gilthunder had followed him and this time he used Magic combines with the attack of his sword and again Meliodas blocked it. The rock he was standing in broke from Gilthunder's power. He kicked Meliodas in the chin making him elevate from the ground just to be waiting up of Meliodas and attack with thunder which was effective and send him to the ground making a little crater from the impact. While Meliodas was standing up he was ready for a counter-attack but Gilthunder was behind now and had slashed him. While all this happened DIO was still in thought

'This human... Is he mocking ME? This isn't even doing any damage. This doesn't restricts my movements at all. If I was attacked with this kind of technique 100 years ago it would've at least given my opponent seconds to finish me off but... Now it isn't even funny' thought DIO about the Knight's ability. DIO noticed that Meliodas lost on purpose and he could only let a sigh escape his lips. The Vampire broke free from the "restrains" easily. And said in a bored tone

"Is this truely all a Holy Knight can do?" he said "Pathetic. Dissapointing. And mostly... USELESS" he yelled that last word before appearing infront of him in a insane speed and punching him sending the Knight some meters away and following giving him another punch in the head making his body bent towards DIO and did a piroutte where using his right hand for support and using his left leg to kick he sended him towards the air above 10 meters over the ground and jumping towards the Knight to uppercut him towards the ground not enough to kill him but enough to leave him unconscious for a good 2 days and other 2 of healing in the best case scenario.

"So? Aren't we leaving?" said DIO to the giant which was the only present with impatience to leave that place since there was nothing else to do there.

"I truely don't understand you" he said to the severely injured captain of the Seven Deadly Sins then started to walk away. "Bring the human and the pig too. I think he won't like you leaving them here he would be upset" DIO said and he was already away from Diane.

*KING CRIMSON!*

In the Boar's Hat

Hawk's mom was walking and Diane was besides her. Inside the tabern was Elizabeth using a piece of cloth with hot water to take care of Hawk's bruises. "Ah.. that's the spot" he said relaxed and feeling better "That Knight... I'll never forgive him!" he exclaimed angry to the fact of how that guy treated him "By the way, you said you knew him?" he now asked Hawk to Elizabeth.

"Yes. He originally was my sister's Margaret's escort. Even after his father's death he was still on his loyal service" she explained. Meanwhile in the outside of the tabern Meliodas was speaking with Diane about the other Sins and their current status.

"Ban, the fox of greed. Was captured 5 years ago and it's now in a prision. While King, the Grizlly Sin of Sloth is dead and buried. Which one should we check on first?" he asked Diane. "I don't care for orher men that aren't the Captain" she started "I've really changed in this ten years" she said showing a póster saying "Wanted" and a sketch and the name of the giant. "You do know that's only a sketch, right?" (yep it's what I just said) "Well let's get Ban first" Meliodas proposed "Why?" Diane asked why would he choose him over King "Beacause he is closer" he replied honestly... way too honest like other times. "I disagree" exclaimed Elizabeth "We should let Lord Meliodas wounds heal before going to the prision. What would happen if you fight a Holy Knight with your current state?" she asked worried about her "friend"

"Don't worry, I'll be fine with some rest. That should do it." he replied to Elizabeth's concern "Good night" he said calmed and going inside to get some rest.

Inside the tabern was DIO sitting against a wall with his eyes closed. He didn't open them when he heard someone get inside he only talked "You are foolish" he said serious. "Meliodas, I don't know what exactly are you but you are imprudent by fighting like that" DIO refered to his previous encounter with the Holy Knight Gilthunder. "Don't worry about that I've had worse" he said trying to not worry the blonde Vampire he had a smug face while he grinned and saked "What? Are you worried about me?" he asked trying to make DIO mad and joke around a little "Not exactly. I just see you as a important piece in this journey" he replied to Meliodas' comment. Meliodas giggled a little while he walked to the stairs, he staggered a little in his footsteps and began to fall but DIO  moved just in time to catch Meliodas from falling to the ground. 

"Careful" DIO said to Meliodas who smiled weakly and replied with a silent "Thanks..." before closing his eyes going to sleep.
"... Oi! Woman!" DIO yelled enough for Elizabeth, Hawk and Diane to hear. Soon enough the previous mentioned people except Diane got inside and watch the scene and quickly understood what was going on. "I'll place him in his bed, You look after him" DIO said before picking Meliodas taking him upstairs towards his room. Elizabeth and Hawk soon followed behind the man. DIO was in the room and placed Meliodas in the bed and left right after that.

Baste Dungeon

"A report from the Royal Palace. We've confrimed the presence of two Sins at the Forest of White Dreams. I fear that they will be comig here in search of a certain someone" a woman with light purple hair in a ponytail hair style and a lock of her hair fell on her forehead, she wore a purplish  clothes over a grey armor with a gold color line on her waist

She was talking to someone while she was on one knee and with her fist on the ground. She was talking to two other Knights which seemed to be her superiors. The room seemed to be the place were the Boss would be but appearently all four of the Knights were in charge. It was made out of bricks and some candels illuminated the room, the chairs were made of stone instead of a wood. There was a table with  They all looked intimidating or more like their armors gave some bad vibes coming from them.

(Sorry if the image it's to small on your device)

"Are they finally coming little Sins" said the one in red armor with a spider inspired helmet in a femenine voice. The one infront of her which helmet seemed to be smiling and aldo had horns spoke "Whether he comes here to the prision or the city nearby we should be ready to welcome him." he said while moving his piece and taking one of the girl's. "Oh come on Golgius. What an unpleasant move!" she complied about the loss of her piece. "Huh? It's your turn Fresia" he said to his partner and at this time opponent in chess. "Um" the purple-haired woman was about to say something to her bosses but was interrupted by Fresia. 

No need to worry, Jericho. You see, this dungeon was built in preparations to battles to come. An experimental fort, you could say." Fresia explained to her subordinate with confidence in her voice "Even for the Seven Deadly Sins won't be easy to conquer this place" she finished her explanation. "That's true" someone behind Jericho said. It was the golden faced Knight. "Don't forget we, Weird Fangs, are here as well. "O-Of course not, Lord Ruin" said Jericho trying tonot get in trouble. 

"However, I wonder if they'll really come" said the one with Hermit Purple- I mean purple creepers(?) with spines as a cover for his face. (Honestly this, at least the style, is cool) "You are right, after all who would take so much risk to save him. Since we captured him 5 years ago, he hasn't basked the sun, nor has he moved an inch or been allowed to speak a word. He hasn't been fed anything worth eating, either. He is just going to be tortured until the day he dies." Fresia finished her part and as this was being said... someone with iron bars all over his body, and those said bars being connected with chains was this person with only some pants with a lot of patches all over it. "Although he was one of the Seven, I don't know why they'd bother saving him" said the one with the purple creepers. 

"To think he was the legendary Fox's  Sin of Greed... How pitiful" Ruin finished. Outside the cell of this man were to guards doing their job but something caught their atttention. Someone was humming a melody, although at first none of the two guards knew were it was coming from, if you payed close attention you would see, or hear, it was coming from the cell this mysterious man was. He had long mesy hair in a light blue relaxing color to the eyes, he had a thick mustache light blue as well. Big red eyes which seemed to be glued to the door infront of him and at the same time they seemed to be looking into a void... not really seeing any near end.

Dalmary Town... near the Baste Dungeon

"You are not coming, Lord DIO?" asked Elizabeth to the tall blonde. "No, since I don't see that you will need the help of I, DIO,... do this by youselves" he replied to Elizabeth in a bored tone. Ever since that dissapointment of Holy Knight he has been down a little. But he also didn't feel any dangerous energy nearby so he won't waste those 2h and 30min in saving someone he doen't even know. The only reason DIO had went to search Diane was because  the sun woudn't be a problem all the time. He had expected to fight someone but they were all a lost of time. "Please Lord DIO, what will we do if we find someone too strong for Diane, she is the only one in conditions to fight for us" Elizabeth said with corncerned about the safety of the group. "Why should I help you? I won't get anything from helping you" DIO said getting slighly irritated about the fact that this woman was so persistent. "Aren't you worried about Lord Meli-"

"No" he asnwered quickly and with honesty. "B-But..." Elizabeth tried to think of something to convince DIO to come and help them. But Elizabeth coudn't really think of anything, DIO didn't gave any clue of what he likes or what his goals are yet. So thinking of something is really hard when all he wants id to fight strong- "Wait! What if you become stronger?" Elizabeth asked hoping the Vampire might listen to her if she said that. "Hmmm... I'm listening. But if you don't convince me right now I'll leave this pathetic Jouney and go back to my bussines" DIO menaced with not only not helping in this mission but never help in any and not come back again. "I-I... Well..." Elizabeth started to shake a little and she started to stutter from the fear that they will lose such a powerful ally. "Well...?" DIO said impatient of the Elizabteh's answer to convince him to help.

"Holy Knights are really strong, right? W-Well m-maybe not so much for you Lord D-DIO but the Seven Deadly Sins ARE the strongest Knights so... What if they helped you get stronger by fighting them?" Elizabeth soon noticed what she said. DIO had shown how powerful he was, he was stronger then any of the Holy Knights and even the Seven, he could kill any of them in an instant! (Well... Escanor) Elizabeth started to shake even more and curse herself in her thoughts for proposing such a foolish idea to DIO. "Fine. I'll go, but I, DIO, shall show you that there are no training partners for me. For there is no on greater, stronger and most important of all... None in this Kingdom has a STAND LIKE MINE, DIO's!!!" he exclaimed and this made Elizabeth smile with joy to see not only that DIO won't leave but that he will help get Ban out of prision. But... What's a Stand User? that's ELizabeth asked herself.
