The Jade Blade

Rude Awakening

Author's Note: This chapter is mainly taking place at Delacroix Manner. A cold and desolate place.

~Delacroix p.o.v.~
They don't know that I'm watching there every move from my little minion's necklace. I got up off of my thrown walking over to my glass orb looking into it. I saw Matrox and the boy flying back towards the Under Lands. I called for Salos who is my son. "Yes father." He said. I want you to take care of the Under Lands for me, I want it to be nothing but ashes once your done. And don't forget to kill all of the scum that lives there. I want you to handle that before they get back there.

Then he said "Yes father." with an evil smirk on his face. It took me a day to defeat those little Protectors and now they're mine. I walked down the hall into a room where there were four stone men standing with their hands behind their backs. They were the Protectors who had been killed that day. Herx I called out and my youngest son came running to me. I have called you in here so I could tell you the story of these four men. The first one is Calibus his weapon was gloves that had a long sharp knife that came out of it.

Next was Texnar he was a great fighter, his weapon was a whip with spikes on the end that thing had to hurt. Then there is Dassy she was the only woman Protector her weapon was the great hammer but this hammer had a dagger on the handle part. Last but not least is Cass the greatest fighter of them all. He was the only one who could stand a chance with me. His weapon was two chains that had hands on the ends. But those hands had the sharpest claws on the end and the hands would disappear and these two swords would be on the end.

Ahhhh what a battle that was only if you were born then. None of you were born yet. But your mother was on my side, she was one of my Masters Of Destruction before she retired from fighting. Before your mother died she wanted me to go good and fix the world but I just couldn't. "What was her name father?" He asked. Her name was Salestia that is where your brother and sister's names came from. She was turning good and she got sick before she could stop me and she died.

I have raised you all myself, I raised you all to be as evil as you could be but it seems your sister is forgetting all about that. But I have something planned for her and for now I have to delay their arrival to the Under Lands. Then I whistled and Three Sweeps had came flying through the windows of my thrown room. You three I want them bring them to me and if you don't win they surely will destroy you and if they don't I will. Then the Sweeps flew away.

We made it out of the hole just in time before it exploded now we are on our way back to the Under Lands where I get to see my mother again. I really missed my mother this is the longest I stayed away from her. Then I looked over at Saleste she had a dark glow coming from around her. But as I looked closer it wasn't her glowing it was the three Sweeps that was coming at us fast.

By the time I got Johnny's attention they had already knocked us off of his big hands. We had flew pretty far and by the time we hit the group we had been split up. I saw the monster coming straight towards me so I got up and ran as fast as I could. While I was running I fell through the group and when I looked around it was an old house.

I ran through the house and hit in a bedroom. I went under the beaten down bed and held my breath. I could hear the monster walking and grunting in the room that I was in.Then out of nowhere my eyes and hands began to glow that bright blue color. Then the monster threw the bed and grabbed me by the leg then flew through the ceiling.

I summoned my soul weapon and threw it through the back of the monster. I used my big hands to drive the sword all the way to the tip of the Sweep cutting it into two pieces but it was still connected at the lower torso. The monster dropped to its knees and fell. I got up and began to walk away but I heard growling right behind me. I turned around to see the monster now had two upper bodies. One of the bodies grabbed me but I summoned my hands and punched it so it dropped me.
