Lilith heads downstairs to see Meliodas and the others looking at a flier.

"Mornin Lil" Meliodas greets when he notices her

"Good morning Meli" Lilith smiles

"So apparently the Great Vaizel Fight Festival will be held in a few days. The winner gets any wish granted" Meliodas tells her

"Any?" Lilith asks

"That's what it says" Meliodas hands her the flier "What a tempting prize though, doncha think?"

"No, no, no! This is definitely suspicious!!" Howzer speaks up

"Are the Ten Commandments behind this?" Arthur asks walking up

"Probably" Meliodas replies "What other groups would do something like using a demon to send out flyers"

Hawk jumps up "Come on, Meliodas! No matter how you think about it-"

"No matter how you think about it, it's a trap!" Hendrickson says

"Don't steal my line!" Hawk shouts

Howzer places his hand on Gilthunders shoulder and the two talk.

"We can't sense Escanor anymore, so let's swing by and take a look" Meliodas says

"A-Are you serious? Unless... Do you have a plan?" Hendrickson asks

Meliodas punches his fist into his other hand, grinning like an idiot "Nope! It just looks like a lot of fun!"

"I don't think that's a very good idea" Lilith sweat drops

"I never said it was dear" Meliodas says

Lilith sighs "you dummy"

"only the captain would find this kind of thing fun" Gowther pushes his glasses up "going straight into unknown enemy territory is not a smart move, especially this early in the game when their is surely a trap waiting"

 "But you're going to fight as well won't you?" Meliodas questions

"I suppose" Gowther replies

Hawk mama soon stops and the group looks outside

"Looks like we're here" Meliodas says

They all leave the tavern and get off the giant pig to look at the maze in front of them.

"Girls are you sure you want to come" Meliodas turns to Elizabeth and Lilith "It's going to be dangerous"

"I may not be useful, but still.. I'd like to come" Elizabeth says

"Alright" Meliodas looks at Lilith

"Well sneaking around enemy territory is something I'm use to I guess" Lilith says "both in my past and current life"

Meliodas chuckles "you're right about that"

They all walk into the maze.

"Lilith" Elizabeth says to the girl walking next to her

"hm?" Lilith looks at her

"Um.. where have the others gone?" Elizabeth asks her

"What do you mean?" Lilith looks around to see only herself, Elizabeth, and Hawk "Eek! We got separated!"

"oh no" Elizabeth says worriedly

"Meli!" Lilith shouts looking around

"I didn't even realize that they were gone until now" Hawk says "I can't believe it"
