"Matrona has started things off with a ferocious preemptive strike!" Love Helm shouts. "I'm not gonna let you get away with any of your excuses today!" Diane yells, punching the air in front of Meliodas, who is now kneeling. "Look, those girls have the wrong guy. I don't remember them at all, okay?" Meliodas tries explaining. "That's enough out of you!" Diane shouts, punching Meliodas, who dodges. "This might get ugly if I don't fight for real!" Meliodas says, getting into a fighting stance. They go back and forth for a while, destroying the ring even more. Diane knees Meliodas in the stomach, and Meliodas retaliates by punching her in the head. "You're such a jerk, Captain!" Diane shouts punching the blonde who blocks the attack. Then they suddenly stop. "Why'd they-" Celeste gasps, looking back. "What's going on?" A man asks. "Is it over?" Another asks. "Don't leave us hanging!" A third shouts. "Start fighting!" A fourth guy shouts. "Did those two strain themselves so hard, they peed their pants or something?" Hawk asks. "Princess." Celeste mumbles, kneeling beside Hawk placing Elizabeth on his back, as Ban and King join the others in the ring.

"What's the matter? What are you doing?" Elizabeth asks. "Don't worry, just stick by my side, Hawk." Celeste tells the pig. "My real identity is Captain of the Seven Deadly Sins. I'm Meliodas, the Dragon Sin!" Meliodas shares, causing everyone to gasp. "We're taking over Vaizel, everything here belongs to us now!" Meliodas informs. "Hold on? What? Why'd that idiot tell them who he really is? Do you know what's going on, Celeste?" Hawk asks. "You'll see soon enough." Celeste tells him. "What's that supposed to mean?" Hawk questions. "I'm giving you less than one minute to clear out of this town! Understand! If you don't, we're gonna kill you all!" The blonde shouts, raising his hand in the air. "You're not fooling anyone, you brat!" A man shouts. "What he said, you don't look a thing like 'em!" Another joins in. "Wait, given how strong they are it might just be true..." Someone else says. "Oh boy." Celeste sighs, rubbing a hand over her face. "Get the hell out of here!" Meliodas yells, scaring everyone. "Hey, what's that?" A man points to the sky, seeing fireballs heading right for them.

The fireballs hit the village, and one was headed right for the ring, but Meliodas deflects it with 'Full Counter'. "Damn, they're here already?" Meliodas questions. "That equipment is sacred treasure class." King points out. "It sure is. I bet Guila's gotten a lot stronger than she was in the Necropolis." Meliodas agrees. "And what's worse is there's three this time. Let's split up for now." Meliodas tells them. "Let's go, Hawk." Celeste says, sitting on the pig's back, giving his butt a small smack causing him to start running.

Hawk ran through down a path with Celeste and Elizabeth on his back. "Even if I end up as roast pork, or a pork kebab, even if there's nothing left of me but my trotters, I'll still make sure to protect you, Elizabeth! Celeste!" Hawk tells the two. "There's no need for that. I'll keep us all safe." Celeste tells the pig. "Wait, did you hear something?" Hawk asks, coming to a stop. "It's sir Meliodas and sir Ban!" Elizabeth shouts, seeing the two hit each other in mid-air before falling. "Oh no." Celeste sighs. King goes over to check on them but is attacked by Guila's fireball, however, he uses Chastiefol's fifth configuration to protect him. Jericho slices through the daggers, but King smacks her into the ground with Chatiefol's spear form. Guila tries attacking King again, but Chastiefol's daggers are thrown at her and Jericho. King stretches and looks down, seeing the two knights defeated. "Good job, King!" Celeste compliments as Hawk approaches the other two sins. "They're not dead yet, though. And I've got a couple questions for these ladies, so look after those two, okay?" King instructs. "Okay. Hawk." Celeste pats the pig's head, and he grabs the sins by the collars, dragging them with him. "Please try to be safe, Sir King." Elizabeth whispers.
