(Back to where the others)

Meliodas POV

"Now that I remember all the things about (Y/n)... The last time that I saw her was in the purgatory. She helped me to escape... So maybe she's still in there. Tell me she's there, Nerobasta!" I paused and turned to Nerobasta, who cut me off by saying, "She's gone." "What do you mean by gone?" my frail voice inquired. "She's no longer in this world. (Y/n)'s existence has been banished from this world, and we can't feel her power at all," Nerobasta stated, as if she were ready to quit. "(Y/n)... (Y/n) why did you leave us!!" I screamed desperately, "I think you people have to know what's the strength and weakness of (Y/n)..." Nerobasta responded, "It's not the time for talking about those!" I exclaimed, "It's connected how to bring her back, because (Y/n)'s weakness is Meliodas and her strength is Zeldris." She responded, "I am... Her weakness and Zeldris is her... strength? Heh, don't **** up with me! Why can't I be both? I could also be her strength." I disagreed with them. "Because Zeldris is having more time to (Y/n) and he strengthens (Y/n) when she's becoming weak, his words strengthen (Y/n). Your weakness is because she loves you so much that she doesn't want to lose you... And I don't know what happened—that she became too weak and lost her existence," Nerobasta clarified. "You win, Meliodas. And I lost, but I'm glad that I spent time with her." Zeldris confessed, his voice filled with genuine remorse. "I never wanted her to become weak or lose herself. All I ever wanted was to be there for her and protect her. But in doing so, I unintentionally made her dependent on me. I failed to see that true strength comes from within, not from someone else's presence. I understand now that my actions hindered her growth, and for that, I am truly sorry." As tears streamed down his face, Zeldris vowed to change and become the support (Y/n) needed, while also helping her find her own strength and independence.

"I've seen (Y/n) with my own eyes, and her true strength lies within herself," I argued passionately. "She doesn't need anyone else to define her or determine her worth. We need to focus on finding her, not debating over her weaknesses and strengths." Nerobasta looked taken aback, but before she could respond, I added, "Let's gather our resources and devise a plan to bring her back. Together, we can bring her home where she belongs."

Nerobasta looked conflicted for a moment, her eyes betraying a flicker of doubt. But as my words sank in, her expression softened, and a spark of determination ignited in her eyes. "You're right," she admitted, her voice filled with newfound conviction. "We've wasted enough time doubting her. It's time to rally our forces and bring her back. From this day forward, we stand united in our mission, supporting (Y/n) every step of the way." With renewed purpose, we began to strategize, knowing that our combined efforts would be the key to her safe return.

And this time we abandoned the battle in order to find (Y/n). We realized that our previous doubts and hesitation had only hindered our progress in locating her. As we set aside our differences and past conflicts, we understood that finding (Y/n) was now our top priority. With a stronger sense of unity and determination, we were confident that our combined efforts would lead to her safe return.
