Former Friends Assemble

(Back in the tavern)

Diane:"ELIZABETH, ARE YOU REALLY PREGNANT?!!".

Elizabeth:"Yes, but Merlin how did you know?".

Merlin:"I can feel a slight sign of life inside you.Congratulation.Does Meliodas know about this?".

Elizabeth:"Not yet. I wanted to surprise him during the feast we had a few weeks ago".

Merlin:"So that was the announcement you wanted to say. Looks like now we have another reason to look for the Captain".

Diane:"I still can't believe your pregnant and didn't say anything sooner".

Elizabeth:"I tried but those people who attacked us didn't give me a chance to do so".

Merlin:"Anyway, I have some good news. I know how to open the portal to the other worlds".

Elizabeth:"Really?!!".

Diane:"Then, what are we waiting for. let's go save the Captain".

Merlin" However. I still can't track where the Captain and Ban is".

Diane:"Aww man. So what do we do".

Merlin:"I have an idea however we will discuss this after everyone has gathered here".

(A few hours later)

King:"We're back".

Diane:"Gosh what took you so long".

Gowther:"Elaine was extremely upset and insisted that she came over. We tried to force her to stay in the forest but".

Merlin:"But what?".

Elaine:"I'm going to help you look for Ban".

Merlin:"I see. Alright then now we can discuss our plan".

King:"Plan?".

Merlin:"But first congratulations Elaine on being pregnant".

Everyone:"HUH!?!".

Elaine:"H-How did you know".

(King's jaw dropped)

Merlin:"Looks like Elizabeth isn't the only one having a baby".

King:"Elizabeth. You too?!!".

Elizabeth:"Yes".

Merlin:"Despite this wonderful reunion. I'm afraid it will have to wait. We have to save the Captain and Ban".

Elaine:"Alright then. What's the plan?".

Merlin:"First, We need all the help we can get so I'm planning to get a few more friends over".

Diane:"Friends?.You mean like Gilthunder or Howzer?".

Merlin:"Yes and No. We don't need them however we could use some help from someone from another world".

King:"Another world?.You don't mean!?!".

Merlin:"Yes, I'm going to get the assistance of Great Rimuru".

Gowther:"He is a wonderful asset to the team however what does he have to do with any of this?".

Merlin:"He is the only one use to going to different worlds and he could be useful in nailing down the specific world The Captain and Ban could be in".

King:"But I thought you said he won't remember us?".

Merlin:"That's where Gowther comes in. He can return the memories they lost after they left. Also I'm going to bring back Hawk".

Diane:"Hawk?.Why Hawk?".

Merlin:"His nose could be useful in the search and also he is a monster from purgatory and seeing as Meliodas has close ties with purgatory they could be linked".

Elaine:"That's not a bad idea".

Merlin:"I and Gowther will go to Great Rimuru's world while King, I'll leave Hawk to you".

Diane:"Wait but purgatory is dangerous. He could die in there".

Merlin:"Perfect Cube".

Merlin:"He should be fine now. Perfect cube will follow the direction you fly in and use this".

King:"An earring?".

Merlin:"It's connected to hawk. It will lead you to him. I'll open the portal there now. Good luck".

(Portal opens)

King:"Alright I'm going".

Diane:"Be careful".

King:"I will".

Merlin:"Goodbye and Diane. Protect Elaine and Elizabeth".

Diane:"Right. Leave 'em to me".

(Merlin and Gowther enters the portal and the portal closes)

(Meanwhile in Rimuru's world)

Rimuru:"Benimaru,Did you feel that?".

Benimaru:"Yes, I did Great Rimuru. It feels powerful, It could be dangerous".

Rimuru:"Right. Prepare the soldiers. We might be having a serious problem on our hands".

New Friends?

(2 weeks have passed since Kuro said he'd become the best Theif there is and he has been training nonstop since then)

Ban:"Come on Kuro. You'll never kill anyone like this".

Kuro:"I'm trying!!".

(Kuro constantly tries to cut Ban down with a combat knife he stole)

Ban:"Forget it. You'll never beat me in a million years".

(Kuro falls on the floor from exhaustion)

Ban:"Too bad. Maybe next time Kuro-".

(Kuro got up and held the knife to Ban's neck)

Kuro:"I win".

(Then Ban took his hand and threw him across the room and smiled)

Ban:"Hehe. I win".

Kuro:"Oww. That was dirty".

Ban:"You played dirty too. Hehe. Looks like your learning".

Kuro:"Let's go again".

Ban:"Nah,im hungry.Lets eat".

Kuro:(pouts)"fine".

(Ban and Kuro headed towards a nearby Chinese restaurant)

Ban:"Order whatever you think is good and order for me too".

Kuro:"Ok".

(a few minutes later)

Kuro:"Ban, How did I do today?".

Ban:"Your improving. I didn't think you'd trick me into thinking you were done then attack me. Your getting smarter".

Kuro:"Well, I did try to copy you lying and tricking people so I thought it would come in handy".

Ban:"Hehe, The Captain once said I'm a bad influence on kids and when I find him, I'm gonna make him eat his words. I'm a perfect influence for kids".

Kuro:"I wouldn't say you're a perfect influence".

Ban:"Huh?".

Kuro:"Nevermind".

Ban:"Are you done eating?".

Kuro:"Yup".

(Ban sneaked his hand into the pocket of the man behind him and took his wallet)

Ban:"Excuse me. Can I have the bill".

Worker:"Sure.That'll be 3,748.13 yen,Please".

Ban:"Here you go. Let's go".

Kuro:"ok".

(They left the restaurant and headed further down the street)

Kuro: Ban, Where are we going?".

Ban:"I heard there is a bar somewhere here. I wanna get us some drinks".

Kuro:"But I can't drink and I won't be allowed in cause I'm underaged".

Ban:"Who cares about that. It's on me. Let's go".

Kuro:(Perfect influence my ass)

Ban:"I think this is the place".

Security:"I'm gonna need to see some ID".

Ban:"ID? The name's Ban. Now let me in".

Security:"I'm sorry sir but I need some ID in order to let you in".

Ban:"Don't have one".

Security:"Then,I'm sorry sir but I can't let you in".

Ban:"I came here to get drunk and I'm going in one way or another-".

(Right before Ban attacked the security guard a random man stopped him)

"Stop sir. If you want drinks, I can get you some".

Ban:"Huh?.Who the hell are you?".

"I apologize for the late introduction. My name is Kurogiri. I am a Bartender and I can get you some drinks if you would follow me".

Kuro:"He doesn't expect us to actually follow him right?".

(Ban started walking in the same direction as Kurogiri)

Kuro:"Wait, Ban!!.Ughh".

(Kuro chased after him)

Kuro:"You can't be serious. This guy could be dangerous".

Ban:"Wherever there is Beer, There is me

Kuro:"You're hopeless".

(Kuro and Ban followed Kurogiri to an underground Bar)

Kuro:"Oh, so he wasn't lying".

(They both sat down on the barstool)

Ban:"Hey Kurogiri, give us two Beers".

Kuro:"For the last time. I can't drink, I'm underaged".

Ban:"If you want to be like me, you'll have to deal with alcohol eventually so better earlier than never".

Kuro:"That's not even how that phrase is pronounced".

Ban:"Like I said Two Beers for each of us".

Kuro:"Two?!!".

Ban:"Hehe yes, You have to increase your alcohol tolerance".

Kuro:"Now you're just giving excuses".

Ban:"Down the hatch".

(They both started drinking)

Kuro:"Huh? This doesn't taste so bad".

(Kuro drank three mugs of beer and he was instantly drunk)

Kuro:"Ban, you.(hiccup)idiot. Why didn't you fight me seriously last(hiccup) time".

Ban:"Hehe. Just three beers and your already this drunk".

Kuro:"Fuck off".

(Just then a man with hands all over his body came into the room)

"Kurogiri. What's the meaning of this?".

Kurogiri:"These are our customers, Shigaraki".

Shigaraki:"We're not a bar Kurogiri".

(Ban noticed Shigaraki)

Ban:"Hey man, You must be extremely happy with the number of handjobs you can get. Hehe".

Shigaraki:"You got a death wish?"

Kurogiri:"Don't, he's just drunk and besides he will be extremely useful".

Shigaraki:"You know him?".

Kurogiri:"He has robbed many places from banks to restaurants and other facilities and he has never been caught. Not to mention that most of the time he knocks out hundreds of security guards. He could be a valuable asset to the team".

Shigaraki:"I'm not interested in working with him".

Kurogiri:"It's just for the time being".

Shigaraki:"Alright".

Kurogiri:"Excuse me Mr. Ban".

Ban:"Hmm?".

(Kurogiri explained their plans and who they were in hopes of recruiting him on their team)

Kurogiri:"Will you join us?".

Ban:"Nah, I'm good but I'll still come over for the drinks".

Kurogiri:"hmm..Very well".

Ban:"Anyway we gotta head out but we'll be back k".

Kurogiri:"Alright. See you next time".

Shigaraki:"Why are you allowing this?".

Kurogiri:"We need to slowly build a close relationship with them, then they will be indebted to us and will help us".

Shigaraki:"It's a waste of time".

Kurogiri:"Perhaps however we still have to take risks and I'm risking it all on Ban and that boy".

Shigaraki:"Fine".
