Demon Y/N's P.O.V
                          
I go up behind Meliodas and place my hands on his shoulders, resting my chin on my hand, "Meli... Come on now, I think they all realised now," I kiss his cheek, "For me?" Meliodas glances at me and his darkness is retracted back to him like a jacket that isn't covering much. Estarossa starts getting up laughing, "Is he actually related you to you?" I question.
                          
"I apologise for calling you a coward!" Estarossa says laughing, "You are without a doubt, the Meliodas. The son whom the current Demon King still speaks of, the demon whom even the four archangels fears and the older brother whom I looked up to," He says with a smile.
                          
"Your smile is creepy, put it away," I say.
                          
"Don't give me that crap, Estarossa! Even you accept him, I won't! I absolutely will not!" Zeldris says standing up with a wobble, "Meliodas! The only reason you even want the Demon King's power... Is so that you can dispel the curse that's been placed on you, Y/N and that woman, isn't it?!" Zeldris glares in anger at Meliodas.
                          
"That's right. That's why I cam here to take the power that our father, the Demon King, had lent to you. It's what will make Y/N happy as well as myself. Though, just now, I realised... I hadn't expected it... But even if I took that strength you've borrowed, it wouldn't have the power to free this curse," Meliodas says.
                          
"Shut up..." Zeldris punches the ground still trying to get up, "Shut up!!" He gets up and goes to attack Meliodas, "The one that's going to be Demon King... is me!!" 
                          
Meliodas blocks Zeldris's attack and throws Estarossa away from trying to take Elizabeth. Meliodas goes behind Zeldris, grabbing his right arm, placing it behind his back with his sword, "Zeldris... I know the reason why you're so obsessed with becoming Demon King." Meliodas says.
                          
I walk to them, "Can I?" I ask and Meliodas nods, I go into of Zeldris, placing my hands on his shoulder, I lean into his right ear, "We know where Gelda is, help us and we'll tell you where she is," I whisper and kiss his cheek, "Please, Zeli?" I step aside and Meliodas realises Zeldris who walks forward a little.
                          
"Ma...Master Zeldris... Is everything alright?" Cusack asks. 
                          
"Fine. I suppose I'll help you both..." Zeldris says and I walk to Meliodas, "Though, I'm still not thrilled about it."
                          
"And just what way have the winds of change blown now? Did she blackmail you or something?" Estarossa says with amusement in his tone.
                          
Zeldris looks back at us, "But just as you said, the power that I've borrowed doesn't hold a candle to father's own. Are you planning to train until you reach the level of the Demon King?" Zeldris ask.
                          
"That would take too much time," Meliodas says.
                          
"We have less than three days left, though I don't care if she dies, we can't do this another time, we want it over," I say.
                          
Meliodas nods pulling me into his hold and I rest my head on his shoulder, "When our father, the Demon King, decided to bring the vast, chaotic demon world under his reign... He split his own strength in half and granted it to his servant with the plan to take control all of it at once, but the power was so great that it could even threaten his own position. So our father devised a much more efficient method of controlling the demon world without ever granting any one person too much power. He split that power into 10 fragments and granted it to 10 warriors," Meliodas explains, "Those warriors became the Ten Commandments."
                          
"Zeldris, Estarossa... I want you two to go recover all of the Commandments. With all of the commandments recovered, I will be able to gain power on par with the Demon King," Meliodas says.
