We Piss Off the Commandments

"You idiots! Why were you two fighting each other?" Jenna hissed.

Meliodas shrugged. "We were debating whether boobs or butts are better, and it got out of hand. Right?"

King scoffed.

"All right, back to business! Can you restore my power now? I've got things to do." Meliodas asked Jenna.

Jenna groaned. "To be honest, I seriously want to tell you 'No way'." Her staff appeared in front of her. "But I have no choice."

She began chanting, raising her staff in the air. A cloud appeared above us, and within it was a humongous shell-like orb.

"Is that a goddess amber too?" Howzer asked. "It's huge!"

"Sir Meliodas' power is in there?" Hendrickson asked.

"Getting it all inside was pretty tough," Jenna said. "All right everyone, step back."

We all moved back, watching the orb in awe.

"Now, are you ready Meliodas?" Jenna asked him.

He gave her a thumbs up. "Sure!"

She chanted again, and the Goddess Amber glowed brightly and began to crack. The power inside was so immense that all it needed was a small crack before it exploded.

Suddenly it was dark. I looked to the sky and it was completely purple. Was that all his power? Damn!

Jenna chanted once more, and began glowing white. The power that hovered in the air suddenly beelined for Meliodas.

It crashed into him with a bang. The force caused the water around us to become uneasy, large waves emerging. The wind picked up significantly, and we all held our hands up to lessen the effects. I think someone was blown away, too.

My eyes adjusted, and I watched Meliodas, eyes closed, hovering in the air as the power filled him. He began glowing purple.

Then the darkness of the sky gave way to light again as the last of the power got sucked in by my brother's body. When it was all gone, the telltale red lightning began to emit from all over his body, much stronger than it was when we were fighting Galand.

He looked down, fists clenched, and laughed an evil laugh.

Oh dear God, please, no.

"This is it. After all this time my power has finally been returned!"

Everyone around me started mumbling nervously.

My fists clenched in anticipation.

Then he lifted his head. "Ha! Gotcha!"

I sighed in relief, then narrowed my eyes.

"Thank goodness," Gilthunder said.

"You know, he doesn't seem all that different to me," Howzer added.

"Oh, he is. I get to kick his ass without pulling my punches anymore," I smiled sweetly, ignoring the surprised faces the two of them were giving me.

Fists still clenched, I walked up to Meliodas.

"Hey, I know what you're gonna say. It was just a stupid joke, I didn-" he started.

I punched him in the gut, and he flew back all the way into a stone column.

"Ow," he mumbled, holding his stomach.

"Congrats on getting your power back, Meliodas," I smiled, putting my hands on my hips.

He stood and made his way to his clothes, sliding on his Boar Hat jersey.

I picked up my own clothes and slipped them on. When I was done, I noticed Meliodas next to me. He looked at me, and I nodded.

"Hey, Merlin," Meliodas called. "Think you can send Prel and I over to the Ten Commandments?"

She moved closer to us. "Well, it's not that I can't, but..."

"Are you serious?" Gilthunder asked incredulously. "You two can't just waltz into enemy territory like that. It's suicidal!"

I strapped on my scabbard. "You can do it, though, right?"

"Indeed. There's just one thing, though. Once I teleport you, there'll be a slight delay before you can be teleported back here. In other words, Captain, Prelialduis, you two have to survive for more than ten seconds on your own. If an attempt is made before that, you'll be reduced to a lump of meat. Still want to go?"

"Hell yeah!" we said together.

"Very well," Merlin said

"Hold on! Why don't you take a little more time before you—" Gilthunder started.

"Relax, we're only going over there to say hi," Meliodas laughed. "Oh, and Prel?"

I looked at him.

"Would you kindly do me the honor of fighting with me?"

"My pleasure," I smiled. "Thanks, that would've been embarrassing."

I took his hand, and felt a rush going through me. The scenery changed suddenly. We were no longer surrounded by comrades, but by the Ten Commandments, looking very pissed off.

My hands entered my hoodie pockets and I smiled. "Hey, everyone!"

Meliodas did a little salute. "Yo!"

Zeldris leaned forward. "Meliodas!"

"Hey, what about me?" I mock-whined.

He turned to me sharply, his eyes narrowing. "You did exactly what I predicted. Now you can both die together, as you wanted."

"Wait!" A presence dropped in front of us. Galand.

My eyes narrowed. I was so going to kill him.

"Nobody here lifts a finger. These are the prey I failed to kill."

He leaned forward to look at us closer. "I'll make sure they die this time-"

I punched him in the face, denting his disgusting little head and knocking him to the side.

Meliodas jumped up in the air and grabbed his falling face, slamming it into the ground and creating a crater with the force.

"Seems you two are a little different from our last fight," Galand said, once he was able to pull his face out of the ground.

He got up quickly, and Meliodas jumped out of his way.

"Chaotic Judgement!" He lunged his scythe at Meliodas repeatedly, but my brother had no problem dodging them.

As he was distracted trying to pummel Meliodas, I jumped in with both feet and kicked him to a wall, which shattered on impact.

We both landed in front of him.

"Just got a little more power, that's all," Meliodas clarified.

He reached out to attack us, but Meliodas kneed him in the opposite direction of the wall and he fell to the ground. Then Meliodas landed on his gut to bring his head back up and kicked it back down again.

I walked over to them. Galand began lifting his head again but I punched him and he plowed through the ground for a couple of meters.

Heads down, we both walked towards Galand again.

As we got closer, he got up on his feet again with some difficulty and looked down at us.

"Now that's more like it! This is how it should be, or things would get dull."

Meliodas lifted his sword slightly from its scabbard, then placed it in again.

Suddenly Galand spewed the purple demon blood from all over his body.

I turned back to the other Commandments, Meliodas following suit.

"What's with tall the angry looks, guys?" I asked.

"Yeah. We just wanted to say hi and talk a little. It's been so many years," Meliodas continued.

"There's nothing for us to talk about. Just know that you're both hated. We will take vengeance on you and the four races who wronged us," Zeldris growled.

"Oof, cold," Meliodas said. "You are our brother, aren't you? If you guys plan on picking up where you left of 3,000 years ago, Prelialduis, the Seven Deadly Sins and I are gonna do whatever it takes to stop you."

"You know I'm looking forward to our fight, Zeldris," I smirked.

"Like I said, there's nothing to talk about," he said.

"Oh, this isn't talk. It's a warning," I clarified.

Zeldris' eyes widened, then narrowed. He growled in anger.

Time's up.

He and Fraudrin lunged at us, but just before they got to us we were teleported right back to Istar.

"Whoo!" I shouted, adrenaline coursing through my veins. "That was a trip!"

Meliodas and I high-fived each other.

He walked to everyone else, waving. "Yo!"

Everyone looked extremely surprised to see us. It was pretty amusing.

"Didn't I tell you guys? We only went over there to say hi."

Jenna stammered. "B-But I want to know exactly what kind of greeting you gave them."

"Oh, that's simple," I piped in, approaching Jenna. "We just warned them that if they did something stupid, then we'd go there and beat 'em up."

King gasped. "You guys are the ones being stupid! Cause what you did was go and pick a fight with them!"

Meliodas scratched his head. "Hmm, well, I guess that's true."

I rolled my eyes. Meliodas had no idea when it was time to be serious.

"ONLY A MORON WOULD INTENTIONALLY GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO WAKE A SLEEPING GIANT!!!" Jenna screamed at us.

Meliodas looked at her, unamused. "C'mon, do you have to yell?"

"I have every right to yell at you!" Jenna yelled.

"She has every right to yell at you!" King shouted at the same time. "How could you?"

I sighed. "Okay, stop screwing around, Mel."

"The kingdom of Britannia is full of different nations and towns. They'll be able to raid them all pretty easily if they split up. And soon, they're going to realize that," Meliodas explained.

"If the Ten Commandments are all in one place, frankly, we don't stand a chance against them...us included," I continued.

"That's why we're going to separate them! That way, we can start crushing 'em one or two at a time," Meliodas finished.

"That plan's sweet!" a familiar voice said behind us. We turned and saw Hawk. But he looked different. He had horns now, red pointy ears and red legs as well.

"This means you finished up all your training too, Haw—" Meliodas had started, but then he turned too, and his train of thought got lost.

He stared at the pig for a few moments, then turned back to the Druids. "Yo, Zaneri! If you're out here, then does that mean Elizabeth is done with her trial too?"

"Oh, um..." Zaneri mumbled.

"Are you ignoring me?!" Hawk yelled.

"Hey, looks like the others are done too," Howzer said.

We turned to the cave and saw Arthur, Gowther and Slader emerge. Arthur had a white lumpy thing on his head, and Slader held a child in his arms.

Damn. Seems everyone went through hell during these trials.

Merlin looked at Arthur. "What is that peculiar thing sitting on top of your head?"

"A mystery," he and Gowther answered.

The child Slader held began crying.

"There, there, such a good boy," Slader comforted the boy.

"Who is that?" I snorted.

"G-Gria..." Gilthunder began.

"...more? Is that you?" Howzer finished.

The huge muscly guy? I snorted.

"Sir Meliodas!" Elizabeth's voice called out.

We turned to her and watched her approach. She had changed her outfit, now wearing a more fitting armored dress.

"Hey, there you are," Meliodas smiled, waving. "How's it going, Elizabeth?"

"I'm sorry. It took me a while to get changed. Lady Zaneri said what I was wearing would be hard to move around in. Wh-What do you think?"

I rolled my eyes. Meliodas wasted no time in sticking his head under her dress.

"I like it!" he said, muffled in between her legs.

"Well, I didn't want her hindering you  any more than she already does. At least her outfit would be an improvement," Zaneri said.

"There's a sight for sore eyes," Howzer said, walking towards Elizabeth.

Suddenly Meliodas was wrapped around Elizabeth's torso, and he poked his fingers in Howzer's eyes.

"Don't you have any self control?" he scolded.

"Hey, I can see that you were able to power up too, Elizabeth!" Hawk moved to her.

"Hawk..." Elizabeth said. Then she turned to Meliodas, who had his head buried in her tits. "So has your power been restored, Sir Meliodas?"

"Excuse me!" Hawk screeched.

"Yup!" Meliodas mumbled. Then he dismounted her. "So, tell me Elizabeth, how did all your training go?"

"Oh." She smiled sweetly, closing her eyes.  "I completely failed."

My jaw dropped. The trio behind me collapsed in shock.

"You failed?" Meliodas asked, unamused.

"I failed," she said.

"Completely?"

"Completely."
