Chapter Fourteen
I tried drawing Liam and Rada. I kinda did well, maybe the rest of you can do better.
Now on with the story!
"Oh no, guys! Come outside! We have a problem!" Diane yelled.
All of us turned around before heading to the front door of the Boar Hat. I opened the door quickly before jogging over to Diane.
"Diane what's wrong?" I asked.
"Yeah? You sounded like you were getting attacked." Ban said with Ivette by his side.
"I'm not getting attacked. The town over there is!" Diane exclaimed pointing to a town nearby.
Smoke, and fire were clearly visible from here. We could also see, what looked like lightning attacks being used. They looked really similar to Gil Thunders lighting bolts.
"We need to do something!" King exclaimed floating next to Diane.
"I agree, let's go." Meliodas said before running back inside to get his sword.
"Ivette, you stay here with Tyler. Don't let Crow loose! No objections!" I said.
"I know I know! Just be careful."
"We will!" I yelled before jumping off of Hawks mom and landing on the ground.
"Let's go kick some ass!" Al yelled sprinting to the town.

"Lightning Kings Sword!" Liam yelled slashing his sword at more demons.
I threw my nun chucks around, hitting three more demons in our path.
My back then came into contact with Liam's.
"What's the score now? 15 to 10?" I asked launching myself in the air.
I slashed down hitting my targets and landing on my feet.
"No way! Its 18 to 14!" Liam yelled hitting another demon.
"Heh, you wish cotton candy." I replied.
That's when the twins ran past me and hit a demon sneaking up behind me.
"Be more careful!!!" They both yelled.
"Ugh, okay I will." I mumbled running in the opposite direction.
Liam eventually caught up to me and we ran side by side.
"You need to take this battle seriously. What if one of us gets hurt." He said looking at me.
"Then I'll kick some more ass, then help you."
I smirked at him but he just rolled his eyes and smiled.
We kept on jogging for a few minutes but didn't find anymore demons in sight. Slowly, we came to a stop and looked around.
"Where did they all go?" I mumbled.
"I don't know, but I don't like how quiet it is." Liam said gripping his sword tightly.
"*sigh* we should go fi-- AHHHHHH!"
Blood spilled out of my mouth and I looked down. A demon sword was stabbed into my stomach. My blood dripped off of the sword making the cobble path a crimson color. The sword was then pulled out and I crumbled to the ground.
"TYLER!!!" Liam yelled.
I struggled to look up at him but when I did, I saw him get punched in the face and thrown into a wall. He twitched as he sat in a pile of rubble before opening his eyes. A black eye already started to form on the right side of his face.
I groaned as the wound in my stomach slowly started to heal.
"No, no, no. We can't have that healing now? Can we?" I heard.
That's when I felt the sword being plunged into my stomach. The pain came right away and I screamed.
"That's right, scream. This is what you get for ruining our plan."
I struggled to look back up. I wanted to give this demon a piece of my mind but I was helpless. I can't just talk smack. It's very clear that I can't do anything!
"Any last words for your friend to hear." The demon said taking out another sword.
I smirked up at the demon. I could feel the blood in my mouth start to pour out.
"Go......back to hell." I said laying my head on the ground.
The demon chuckled and raised the sword. I closed my eyes and smiled. Maybe death won't be that bad. I could finally be with my parents......I think?
That's when I heard two weapons clash together. My eyes opened and they widened at what I heard and saw.
"You stupid demon. If you mess with my nephew. You mess with me." This stranger said.
I could only see his back, but he wore god like armor, had a magic based weapon, brown hair, and from down here he looked pretty tall.
He pushed the demon away sending him tumbling to the ground. The man adjusted his weapon without even holding it before looking down at me.
"Sorry I couldn't get here sooner kiddo, but I'll finish this demon off. Just wait for me." He said smiling at me.
My eyes stayed wide as he moved his hand down to my stomach. Water enveloped his hand before it wrapped around me. When it dispersed, the severe wound on my stomach was gone and I was able to move properly again.
"Now, if you will excuse me. I have to finish this." The stranger said before taking off at top speed to fight the demon.
I immediately stood up and ran to Liam. His black eye was clearly visible and I could see a whole bunch of cuts on his face.
"Tyler, thank god you're alive." He said as I helped him stand up.
"Heh, I would be dead if it weren't for that guy." I said pointing at the amazing fighter.
The stranger seemed to know how to fight demons the right way. Not a single scratch was on him as he attacked the demon more and more. That's when he used the blade of his weapon to cut the demon in half and it caused it to turn to ash.
The stranger stood upright before his weapon disappeared and he turned to walk back to us.
"All done. It's great to see you not dead Tyler." The man said still smiling.
"Uhh, how the hell do you know my name?" I asked clearly confused.
"Oh! I'm sorry! Well, my name is Tank. I'm your uncle."
My jaw dropped, I also ended up dropping Liam as well.
"WHAT?!"

"Wow.....there weren't many demons at all." I said gripping my sword.
All of us were on patrol looking through the big town just in case we found more demons to fight. Of course, me and Meliodas paired up because we're pretty powerful together.
"Hey Meliodas. I have a question." I said looking at him.
He looked back at me smiling.
"Ask away." He said putting his arm around my shoulders.
"Um, did you hear the voices when you touched that burned tie?"
Meliodas stopped in his tracks making me stop as well. He stared down at me before nodding slowly.
"Yeah, I did. One of the voices sounded like you." He said tightening his arms around me.
"I know, it was actually pretty creepy..." I mumbled looking around again.
"We should go back to the others. I don't think there's anymore demons here." Meliodas said turning us both around.
I only nodded now deep in thought about the burned tie.

"Liam! Thank god you're okay!" I yelled hugging him.
Mary also ending up hugging him but she was really small. She ended up hugging his leg.
"Yeah I'm fine. That guy named Tank over there helped us." Liam said pointing behind him.
I looked over his shoulder and saw the guy known as Tank. He had brown hair, except for one white strand sticking out in the front of his head. Very detailed armor, and a smile that gives away how nice he is.
"Rada, I need to talk to you." Tyler suddenly said.
I looked over at him. He looked back at me with pleading eyes, what could be wrong?
"Sure." I said.
Tyler then grabbed my arm, grabbed Tanks arm, and started to drag us into the woods.
"H-hey? Where are you guys going!" Peter questioned floating in the air.
"We're going to talk, we'll be right back." Tyler replied and continued to drag us.
While he dragged me I took a good look at this Tank guy. He looked very familiar to me.
"Okay, we're far enough. Rada, meet our uncle Tank." Tyler said gesturing to the man.
My eyes widened and I took a step back.
"Uncle?! I don't have an uncle!" I exclaimed.
"Ugh, tell her what you told me." Tyler spoke to Tank before turning around.
"Okay, look. I am your mothers cousin and Ivettes little brother. I was killed in battle protecting Julianne so she can get away unharmed. After I died, I was sent to Necropolis, home to the dead. I was greeted by a blonde headed fairy, her name was Elaine.......Anyways, I stayed there for the longest time. Ivette and Julianne only visited me once. But I had Elaine as a friend to keep me company. As time passed I lost track of the days and focused on watching over my family. Heh..... Julianne and Ivette have grown so much since then. But that leaves how I'm back alive. Tyler can be thanked for that. The other day, when he spilled some of his blood on my grave. He said he wanted me to be alive so he can thank me for my sacrifice. Well, his wish was granted, only because he really wanted me to be alive again." He explained still smiling.
I only stared as he continued on talking. I never knew I had an uncle. Mom and dad never told me anything about their family. Ivette was an exception.
"So now I'm here and I'm going to help you finish your goal!" He exclaimed.
"Thank you Ta- I mean uncle Tank. You are welcome to join us." I said smiling.
"Thanks!" He replied before starting his walk back to the group.
I sighed as I leaned on a tree.
"Uncle....heh, that's something I now need to get used to." I said closing my eyes.
"I need to get used to it too. We're family after all." Tyler said plopping his hand down on my head.
I chuckled and looked back up at him. He smiled down at me until we heard voices.
"There are no more demons around, thank god."
"Awwwwwww! I wanted to kick some more ass!"
"Al please, the less demons there are the better."
That sounds like......
Tyler and I made our way to some bushes and we hid behind them. We looked over to see the Seven Deadly Sins and The Black Sins of Britannia talking to each other.
"They're here.... That means we need to leave..." Tyler said creeping away.
"Yeah....." Was my reply.
I kept my eyes on the group as I backed up more. That's when I saw a shadow creeping up behind my mom. A demon!!
"No! Mom!!" I yelled taking out my sword.
"Rada!" Tyler exclaimed as I launched myself at the demon.
My sword went through its chest and it stared at me. The demon then crumbled to the ground turning into ash.
I sheathed my sword and stood upright. That's when someone cleared their throat startling me. My eyes widened as I turned around. The two powerful groups were staring at me surprised.
"You! You're that girl we've been chasing!" Al yelled.
I only sighed as I bowed.
"I am deeply sorry. I just wanted to help." I said placing my hand over my heart.
"Uh, right. But if I may ask, did you just call me mom?" My mother asked.
My hands balled into fists as I looked up to face her again. I placed my hands to my sides and and nudged my head in one direction.
"I need to talk to you..... Julianne to be specific.." I said avoiding the question.
"No way-"
"Meliodas! I'll be fine, I promise."
Mom kissed dad on his cheek before walking next to me. We walked away from the group until we were out of ear shot.
"What is it that you want to talk about?" She asked crossing her arms.
I looked at her before looking down at my waist. With shaky hands I grabbed the phone that was in my pocket and held it out to her. Her eyes widened and she quickly put her hands on her pocket.
"Wha- how did you?!"
"I didn't take it, you know that. The phones are the same but also different. Some of my best memories are kept in this object."
I turned the phone on and went to my gallery. I clicked on a picture of me, mom, and dad when I was a child and showed it to her.
Her eyes widened more as she took the phone and scrolled through more pictures. When she finished scrolling she looked back up at me and slowly handed the phone back to me.
"You....You're...."
I stared at her as she looked up and down before landing on the hand that held my phone.
"You deserve more from me than a worthless phone and a troubled life........ I'm sorry....." She said.
My eyes widened and tears started to form. I put my head down hoping my bangs could cover it up. But, she noticed it and put a hand on my shoulder. I looked back up at her, I couldn't take it anymore.
"Mom! Mom......." I exclaimed hugging her.
She hugged me back letting my tears fall freely.
Finally..... She finally knows the truth.
