Meliodas and Hendrickson stand off in the middle of the battlefield, Hendrickson speaks first.

"It's been a long time, Captain of the Seven Deadly Sins. Are you alone?"

"Yeah. I lost the others somewhere along the way" Meliodas glares

"And yet you still think you can handle me? You're as confident as ever"

"Where's my wife? Give her back to me right now!"

"Unfortunately, that's not possible" Meliodas jumps up, going to knee him in the face. Hendrickson catches his leg, Meliodas then pulls his sword out, slicing at Hendrickson's head but to no avail. Hendrickson finally strikes, hitting Meliodas back, back towards Arthur who is still sitting amongst the rubble.

Gilthunder falls to the ground, dropping his wooden sword along the way.

"What's the matter, Little Gil? Down for the count already?" Meliodas asks hitting his wooden sword against his shoulder

"I'm never gonna make it, I know I'll never become as strong as Father and you, Meliodas"

"Come on, now. First, you gotta go something about that negative attitude"

"Your eyes can see through evil. Your mouth utters the truth. Your heart is filled with justice, and your sword shall crush evil. To stand by what you believe is right till the end.. isn't that the most important thing for a knight?" Margaret walks up with Alex by her side

"Margaret!"

"It has nothing to do with your dad or Meliodas, you're you! Just like I'm stronger than Meli, any day!" Alex points to herself proudly as Meliodas gives her a glare

"No need to point it out"

"Someday, you're gonna be the kindest, most powerful knight of all, Gil. That's what I believe" Margaret tells him as he blushes

"Okay"

"Jeez, get a room you two" Meliodas says and Alex hits his shoulder

"You ruined it" she crosses her arms and pouts as the kids blush even harder


"A thundercloud?" Arthur questions as a big cloud fill's the sky, lightning strikes and Gilthunder comes down with it, hitting Meliodas from above, but he blocks it. They continue fighting, mainly Gilthunder striking and Meliodas defending. Gilthunder finally gets a kick landed and Meliodas goes flying, Arthur catches him.

"My bad, bro! That helped me!"

"Hey, it's nothing!"

"Would you mind lending me a hand a little while longer?"

"Sure, it's my pleasure! By the way, my name is Arthur Pendragon. I'm pretty sure I know your wife! She's told me all about you"

"Eh?"

"I'll explain later"

"Gotcha! Alright then, wanna pick up where we left off, Little Gil?"

"I'm only going to do what I must do... nothing more" Gilthunder replies

"I better warn you, I'm not gonna hold back!" They fly at each other, each attacking at the same time, sending lightning through the air

"The speeds of their strikes are unbelievable! Alex was right! He is amazing! They're barely even trying!"

"We have some unfinished business. Right, King Arthur?" Meliodas finally lands a blow, sending Gilthunder back a bit, then he catches his footing

"Lightning beast chase!" A dragon made of lightning falls from the sky
