Protectors of Chaos Arc

The fourth major arc of "Seven Deadly Sins: Role Play Sagas" follows the origins of "The Protectors of Chaos" while simultaneously telling the goals of the awakening Demon King and the awakening Supreme Deity.

## The Demon King's Slumber

"*Chaos is sapping my magic as we speak... Though at the rate I'm recovering, I'd give myself a few more millennia to fully recover my strength... Nonetheless... I welcome you into niche, my obedient child of Love."* **The Demon King sat abruptly, his eyes just passing over Karma, getting a gentle read from her aura. A blanket of Darkness escaped from underneath his throne, splashing itself over Karma, "cleansing" her from any thoughts of impurity or malice towards him. As he expected, Karma remained unfazed, further encouraging the Demon King to speak his next choice of carefully rehearsed words.**

*"Karma... as you already know, your brothers and sisters have took it upon themselves to complete their own selfish agendas. Do they not understand that "Chaos" is everywhere around us, occupying every single little aspect we call "life"? Ever since being sealed by that putrid divinity of an entity, I have only been able to split a small portion of my power, once again labeling them as the "10 Commandments" all for the sake of ridding the world of "Chaos" before my reawakening..." [**Quote by the Demon King himself]***

It is revealed that Karma, the Commandment of Love is indeed the direct daughter of the Demon King himself. Because of this fact, she is able to absorb and act as his vessel. After noting that the Commandments have “lost their way”, Karma was given permission to do as she pleases even if that meant killing her own brethren to attain the Demon King’s rightful power. She later returned to the Demon King alongside Yami, the Commandment of Piety. Here, she attained a portion of the Demon King's power to unlock "Assault Mode". Yami remained quiet, hating the fact that he had been bowing before the King himself considering his troubled past.

**The shroud of Darkness twirled and hopped around the Demon King's body, though always making sure to hide the majority of his face. His beard was long and gray, his breaths weak, prompting just how weak he had been without the use of all his magic.** *"The Commandment of Piety belonged to my youngest child, Zeldris. You bear striking similarities to my boy. Perhaps it was fate to bind you with such a power given your social rankings. Even so, my power does not discriminate. It will gloriously give strength to those who can handle and possess it..."* **The Demon King then opened his palm yet again, a piece of his Darkness spinning to create another projection, giving Karma and Yami visible sight to a blond haired young man bearing the ancient sword of Excalibur.**

*"I was wrong. The man you see before you is the current vessel of Chaos. Instead of using the Commandments to regain my strength, I will attain even greater power with CHAOS."* **The Demon King let out a weak cough, the projection vanishing as the bit of Darkness jumped onto his face, seemingly giving off more magic to help him recover his lost strength.** *"Karma... in my name, you will lead the remainder of the Commandments to combat Chaos. If you fail, I will gladly take my power back and handle the matter myself... Given the current state I am in, I'd rather not cause a ruckus with my presence. We do not need the Supreme Deity in this battle..." [The Demon King is appointing Karma the leader of the Commandments in order to capture and attain a "Protector of Chaos" to hold even more power. She also has orders to kill the Four Archangels on sight should they interfere]*

### The Supreme Deity's Son

"My son..." **The one called "Supreme Deity" had not been sealed unlike her divine sibling, the Demon King. Even so, Chaos decided and judged her divine presence to be dangerous. And so, Chaos sealed the Supreme Deity as well, however not before striking a deal to not eradicate the respective races within Britannia. But now... after having split her power into 4 individuals called the "Four Archangels", the Supreme Deity is slowly regaining her power, slowly but surely will she be strong enough to assume her rightful place as Queen of Britannia, her purpose to create a bright and white future.** "My sweet son... It's been close to 1,000 years since you've been born..." **A divine light flashed before Saikō, her presence almost blinding. To anyone else not an Archangel, her presence could prove to be fatal. Beyond the radiance of light, a smile graced her face, her eyes burning with both innocence and authority. [Quoted by the Supreme Deity herself]**

Saikō responded in earnest respect, appearing immediately after his mother’s specific summon. The Supreme Deity begins to speak about the Demon King, explaining how conventional of a being he was which is evident in him wanting to kill the deity known as Chaos. However, she reveals that Chaos is no longer a “single” deity, but in fact split into four vessels otherwise known as The Protectors of Chaos. Saikō proposes a solution to working together with the Demons in order to stop Chaos considering their goals were alike. However, the Supreme Deity immediately knocks him down, stating that Demons never had good intentions and they could not be trusted. “If we kill Chaos, my death is also easily guaranteed.” [As quoted by the Supreme Deity]

The Supreme Deity waved her hand, a cloud appearing over her shoulder as a projection revealed a blond boy wielding the sword of Excalibur. He was in fact a Protector of Chaos. She ordered Saikō to bring the vessel of Chaos to her so she may attain all of her strength once again with goals to create a better future with the sealing of Chaos.

## The Two Protectors of Chaos: Kiriko Pendragon and Sir Gawain

**Having been smacked straight across the face, Kiriko immediately sat up, his hair an orange mess, blinking a couple of times before becoming aware of his surroundings. He widened his eyes, jaw having dropped, not believing his eyes. Camelot has been turned into some sort of mushroom-like kingdom. The people became mushrooms with feet! He heard nothing but cheers and laughters. Despite how weird everything look, he could literally "feel" an optimistic like atmosphere. Even so, no one was made aware he was literally at the center of town, sitting up from a bed which seemed out of place compared to the surrounding mushroom-like kingdom.** [A confused Kiriko realizing he had woke up to a Chaos created Kingdom of Camelot]

Kiriko's long time and mysterious best friend, Gawain, sat on the opposite side of Kiriko’s bed, reminiscing on the days of the past in which he and Kiriko battled as children to become King of Camelot. Kiriko couldn’t utter a word. Reality hadn’t been reality around him before getting smacked with a real soccer ball, reminding him that he was in fact in reality. Gawain laughed, the scene immediately changing back to Kiriko’s bedroom in Camelot. The young man couldn’t fathom it at all. He noticed Excalibur sitting on Gawain’s lap, questioning why he possessed it and why he didn’t arrive with their other childhood friend, Palomides. Gawain simply answered in a cryptic way, saying that as humans, people regret and make mistakes. He revealed that he couldn’t save Palomides. However, he quickly changed the topic, stating that he didn’t have time to side track in other meaningless conversations. Gawain went straight into the conversation, not giving Kiriko any chance to mourn his dead childhood friend. Gawain stated that he and Palomides left the Kingdom of Camelot because it was their destiny. Once they turned 18, they were chosen to become vessels to hold the power of Chaos. He stated that the world cannot be at peace with Chaos running rampant. Chaos wants to finish the job and to seek vengeance for the selfish sealing performed by both the Demon King and the Supreme Deity. He then revealed that the vessels chosen to house Chaos would one day combine together to form the absolute divine power that is Chaos.

"You're a *Protector Of Chaos*, Kiriko. Just like me, once you turn 18, you'll be able to wield a 1/4 of Chaos. Though, I'm just not sure what dormant ability you'll be able to possess..." **Gawain raised his palm, his entire arm bending abnormally, turning into some kind of cyborg robotic weapon wielding arm.** "I possess the ability to create anything with my mind. Arthur Pendragon mastered this form of Chaos when he first utilized it. It's a bit wonky for me and I'll sometimes lose control if my emotions are all mixed up. It's why only Humans are able to possess and manipulate Chaos. It's called *Reality Warping*." **Gawain then lifted "Excalibur", twirling the blade upside down, offering it towards Kiriko.** "Any who, I won't be needing this useless blade considering how awesome I am." **Gawain smiled brightly, raising his robotic arm, prepared to snap.** "And oh! Don't die!" [Gawain revealed that he was a "Protect of Chaos" while also gifting Kiriko the ancient royal blade of Excalibur]

## Sacred Tree Spiritual Hub

In Comet's deep slumbers, the voices of every Fairy King echoed within the dream world, or better known as the "Hub of the Fairy Kings", an area of space only exclusive to those chosen by the Sacred Tree. Each Fairy King presented themselves before Comet, their features and demeanor rather elegant and authoritative. Finally, Harlequin stepped among the line of Kings, hovering slowly over the spirit self that was Comet. The current Fairy King was obviously confused, not quite sure if the spirit world had been a dream or not. King Gloxinia made himself present as well, his long red hair coming down his shoulders as his body remained covered in large green octopus-like tentacles. He explained how their purpose had been to keep the Fairy Forest safe. That is until after the original battle which pit the “Seven Deadly Sins” against the Demon King. The purpose of the Fairy King was to not only protect the Fairy Forest, but all of Britannia. Comet wore a smug smile, looking rather cocky, hoping the whole conversation would fly by so he could go along with what he had planned - reunite the Seven Deadly Sins - except with a band of new faces. King Harlequin continued Gloxinia’s explanation, adding that Chaos is the creator of the Demon King, the Supreme Deity, and the Sacred Tree of the Fairies. Comet made wrong assumptions, throwing Harlequin off before he finally sighed, raising his palm which triggered Gloxinia to puncture a hole within Comet’s gut. A rainbow of memories sprayed from his belly. In several seconds, he found himself in an entirely new realm. A more wonkier looking Britannia. A funeral had been in progress, the citizens of Camelot mourning their King of Kings, Arthur Pendragon. This is when Comet realized he had been shot back into the past. Before Comet could react, Arthur sat up from his casket, his eyes glowing an ominous purple as his stare focused towards Comet. He pointed his arm towards Comet's direction, a beam of light shooting towards him and past him. Except, the attack wasn't meant for Comet at all. Tristan, son of the Dragon's sin of Wrath Meliodas, had been shot backwards, fumbling towards the ground, his body lifeless. Except, it wasn't. His body shook hysterically, the power of Chaos seeping into his blood and soul as he became the new vessel of Chaos. Arthur's eyes turned dark and lifeless as he succumbed back to the casket, marking Tristan the new vessel of Chaos. Suddenly, a man named Mordred ordered Holy Knights to capture Tristan, accusing him of stealing the power of Chaos. "He stole the power of Chaos! Tristan, the Horseman of War, will pay for his crimes today!" Comet grew frustrated, not being able to do a thing. He simply waited, experiencing the scene unfold before him. However, unexpectedly, Tristan then turned towards Comet, Mordred doing exactly the same as the both of them spoke, calling Comet "King Harlequin". This is when Comet realized he was experiencing a past Britannia as King himself.

"King Harlequin... Please help me... I didn't steal Chaos! Arthur is trying to tell us something! I have to go to Liones... Dad will know what's going on!" **Mordred then spoke as well;** "My King! Please! He's a Horseman of the Apocalypse! HE STOLE CHAOS! WE MUST KILL HIM BEFORE IT RUNS RAMPANT ON US ALL!" [Both Tristan and Mordred begging King Harlequin to believe in them]

Comet realized he had to make a choice. He decided to leave the Kingdom of Camelot with Tristan. Mordred halted his battalion, allowing Harlequin and Tristan to leave. Tristan did just that, his right shoulder sprouting Darkness as his left shoulder sprouted the beautiful wing of a goddess. Together, they blitzed towards Liones in hopes of achieving a solution to the forthcoming of the prophecy. After bursting through the Castle of Liones, Meliodas commanded his son to stop. Merlin, in tears, created a Perfect Cube, trapping Meliodas and his son, Tristan. Tristan had no idea what was going on. Meliodas simply walked up to his son, commenting at how much taller he had gotten, stating how proud he had been to be his father. Comet was even more confused, desperate to find clues to figure out what exactly he needed to do. Meliodas removed his fur coat, revealing his scarred body. He lost his full Demonic powers ever since sealing the Demon King. Even so, his power was indeed terrifying. Tristan sniffled, contemplating about the current situation, not sure what was going on. Then, he dropped to his side, squirming as a radiance of power leaked from his body, Chaos beginning to take form and gain true possession. Meliodas looked towards King, his eyes vulnerable, obviously not wanting to go through with this. Merlin stood idle, waiting for Chaos to overtake Tristan while keeping up her Perfect Cube. Meliodas then commanded King and Merlin to grab Elizabeth and leave. A wave of terrifying aura then washed over the castle, taking everyone's breath away. Tristan stood tall, towering over his father, his body having completed the Chaotic Transformation. Meliodas lifted his chin, the mark of the Demon slowly slithering its way up his cheek and forehead as a smirk appeared over his face. Before King could escape, the exit warped to the opposite side, Tristan manipulating Chaos to bend whatever thought he had into reality. His face was then immediately met by Meliodas' crushing knee, sending the boy towards the opposite corner of the Perfect Cube which broke instantly. Tristan spat blood over his shoulder as he turned towards King, eight arms immediately tangling King up as Elizabeth walked towards her only son. Elizabeth walked with elegance, her white long hair bouncing freely as her eyes glowed with the orange goddess insignia. Meliodas attempted to deliver another ferocious punch before he began to sink in some sort of quicksand. Tristan then made a remark, speaking in a foul deep projected voice; "Offspring of the Demon King... and Offspring of the Supreme Deity... You will both pay for the crimes of your fathers." Elizabeth's wings sprouted from her back, her eyes as determined as ever. Meliodas used Darkness to escape from the sinking sand's effect as well, sighing as he and Elizabeth both prepared to battle against the reincarnation of Chaos. Then, a deep yell could be heard from outside the palace, an entrance forming from the castle's walls. Mordred stepped into view, wielding a sword which became enveloped in Chaotic energy. He stated he stole a piece of Chaos which had actually became the sole reason as to why the Horsemen of the Apocalypse were chasing him. Though, seemingly turning a new leaf, he stepped up in order to seal Tristan’s Chaos with his own fragment version of Chaos. Meliodas shouted towards him, denying any assistance, simply commanding him to seal Tristan’s ability to use Chaos. However, by doing so, he was willing to even sacrifice his own stolen piece of Chaos. Mordred took notice and demanded the rest of Chaos’ power back, though being immediately frozen in place by Queen Elizabeth’s Ark which allowed Meliodas to deliver a blunt punch to the face. Right when Mordred began the sealing process by swiping his sword upwards, Fairy King Harlequin’s daughter (member of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse) who so happened to look like King Comet’s wife, Azula, came into the fray, tackling and attempting to execute Mordred for stealing the fragment of the late Arthur Pendragon’s Chaos. Now at crossroads, King Comet had to decide between choosing to protect Mordred or assisting his daughter and execute him. Instead, Comet petrified Mordred, choosing neither side. Then, Comet’s hallucinations became undone, revealing what actually happened during the battle between the Sins and Chaos. Fairy King Harlequin had actually murdered Mordred, dooming Chaos’ sealing. Now standing parallel to the past Kings of the Fairy Forest, Comet wondered what had happened.

    "I killed Mordred. But you didn't. Because he died, he wasn't able to seal the power of Chaos. In that battle, Meliodas and Elizabeth successfully absorbed Chaos and freed their son from its overwhelming power. The power of Chaos was divided into four pieces to make the sealing easier. However, one day they would awaken and find four new vessels to one day claim vengeance against Britannia. The only man who can successfully seal Chaos permanently is the one with the power Arthur Pendragon once possessed... and Mordred was a terrible man who stole a piece of it. But I killed him." (Fairy King Harlequin realizing King Comet could be the King to choose the right decision and help create a peaceful world within Britannia)

King Gloxinia then revealed that Mordred had been secretly alive for centuries now, waiting to one day reclaim the powers of Chaos. However, Mordred if forced to wait until the vessels hit the age of 18 which awakens their dormant Chaos abilities. King Harlequin then proceeds to giving King Comet’s purpose from here on out. He must find “Mordred” and stop him from collecting the vessels of Chaos or else if he were to succeed, Britannia would be no more. So far, they only have knowledge of Kiriko who is currently still 17 years old.

“In one year, the powers of Britannia will combat Chaos. The Seven Deadly Sins will resurface yet again to face this looming threat.”

King Harlequin then states that Comet is to help Kiriko train and wield the power of Chaos as he is fated to one day encounter Mordred, hopefully strong enough to take him down for good. King Comet agrees to this and begins his plan to gathering members to his cause, recreating the legendary “Seven Deadly Sins” as their leader.
