Chapter Ten – 10 Reasons to Love Jeff Hardy
The Sandbox
In the living room Jeff Hardy laid back on his favorite scarlet red couch relaxing before he went to pick up Stephanie from work. It wasn't his couch it belonged to Amy but he claimed it as his own whenever he came over for a visit and it drove Hunter crazy. The Game couldn't understand the relationship between Amy and Jeff but that's because everything between him and Jeff was a competition back then, now whenever he came over Hunter didn't mind at all. Jeff gave a big stretch followed by an even bigger yawn.
"Okay ten more minutes and then I'm off to DX Inc to pick up Steph," Jeff said before resuming his relaxed position. He didn't stay that way for long as Spy his pet Spider dropped down from the ceiling and crawled over his face. "Quit it Spy can't you see that I'm sleeping?"
Spy was persistent apparently there was an unexpected guest that Bebe, Jeff's pet Bumblebee had spotted outside and Spy and Bebe wanted permission to attack this person.
"Why would you guys want to attack a visitor?" Jeff asked Spy as he headed to the door, when he opened the door he saw why his pet bugs were so defensive: it was Garrett Calloway. "What are you doing here Calloway?" Jeff said to Undertaker's son.
"You interfered in my business so I thought I should pay you a visit," Garrett said, his green eyes flickering with mischief. Spy asked Jeff if Garrett was a ghost.
"No he always looks like that," Jeff replied and Garrett frowned.
"Who are you talking to?" Garrett asked him.
"That's none of your business," Jeff replied and Garrett rolled his eyes.
"Wow you really are nuts," he said derisively.
"At least I'm sane enough to know I should respect my father's wishes and not mess with black magic," Jeff replied.
"Well that's kind of the reason I'm here Jeff. Apparently you have a Gift from God right?" Garrett said.
"Its not apparent Garrett it's a fact," Jeff replied.
"Well since you felt the need to use your Gift from God to interfere in my business yesterday I thought I'd challenge you to a battle – your powers against mine. I will perform ten magic acts, if you can use your Gift from God to counter them all I'll leave your family and the WWE alone, how does that sound?" Garrett said and Jeff liked the sound of that very much.
"Bring it on Calloway," Jeff said confidently and Garrett looked at him with an evil smile.
"I'm glad you're up to the challenge and I hope you won't mind if I go first," Garrett said.
"Be my guest," Jeff said stepping outside the house and closing the door behind him. Garrett pointed his hands to the ground and the garden split and all these worms and invertebrates came out.
"Attack him!" Garrett commanded them and they went to attack Jeff as he instructed but Jeff raised his hand to them before they could come near him.
"Peace to you creatures now return to the earth from whence you came," he said and the creatures obeyed him and went back into the ground. "That's one for me," Jeff said to Garrett who was startled by what Jeff had done.
"So you can talk to bugs let's see how you handle birds," Garrett replied but Jeff stopped him.
"I wouldn't try your magic on the birds you'll only end up embarrassing yourself," he said but Garrett ignored him and he raised his hands to the sky and called for the birds of the air to come to him which they did.
"Birds attack him!" Garrett commanded them and Jeff rolled his eyes as the birds came towards him.
"Guys get out of here and go back to the sky where you belong," he said to the birds and they obeyed him while Garrett scratched his head baffled. Jeff called a robin back to him, "Tell the other birds never to listen to anything Garrett Calloway says ever again,"
The robin obeyed and went to spread the word the Garrett Calloway was trouble as Jeff shuddered to think the kind of black magic Garrett performed on animals when no-one was around.
"You didn't even speak peace to them that time, you just told them to go back to the sky and they obeyed you," Garrett said puzzled.
"What you think this is some kind of trick? Garrett I have a Gift from God and the birds of the air and creatures of the earth obey my voice no matter what I say, as long as its line with the will of God of course," Jeff explained. "What else you got?"
"Oh I've got plenty don't you worry about that," Garrett replied and he picked up a stone and made blood come out of it.
"Ew," Jeff said scrunching up his nose in disgust and he stopped the blood from coming out of the rock. Garrett looked at the rock amazed that the blood was gone.
"How did you do that?" he asked.
"I can control liquids," Jeff replied and Garrett threw the rock down in disdain.
"Oh really? Well control this!" he yelled and threw his hands up in the air and it started to rain blood. Jeff turned the blood into water and then stopped it from coming down and Garrett stamped his foot annoyed.
"I'm getting really annoyed with you!" he snapped and he pointed to a tree and it came out of its roots and he pointed to Jeff. "Spear him!" he commanded and the tree came straight towards Jeff and he jumped up into the air and avoided it.
Jeff then forced the tree to go back into the ground and it stayed there and Jeff came back down to the ground. Garrett turned to the tree angrily.
"How dare you disobey me?" he said to the tree angrily. "I curse you!"
Garrett put a spell on the tree and poisoned it so that it would die. Jeff ran over to the tree and laid hands on it.
"I pray that you will live and not die in Jesus' name!" Jeff declared and the tree was immediately healed.
"I didn't know you could heal?" Garrett said frowning.
"I can't but Jesus can and He's not about to let my prayer go unanswered because you want to kill one of His trees, what's the matter with you?" Jeff said disgusted.
"Well if you think that's bad watch this," Garrett said and he pointed to the Sandbox. "No wait I'll save that one for last," he said and pointed to the tool shed and drew a chainsaw towards him. "Attack that man!" he said pointing at Jeff and the chainsaw came straight towards Jeff who used his Gift from God to melt the metal tool down to a liquid substance.
"Great now I'm gonna have to buy a new one," Jeff said and Garrett drew one of LC's collection of antique weapons towards him. It was a nineteenth century gun and he loaded the bullets into it.
"Fire at him!" Garrett demanded and the bullets shot out at Jeff from the antique gun and Jeff had no choice but to melt the bullets down to nothing. He did the same to the arrows from the antique crossbow Garrett manipulated into attacking him.
"Sorry LC," he said.
"Oh I'm sure she'll understand after all you're fighting for your life," Garrett said and he pointed towards Jeff's clothes. "Strangle him!" he commanded them and Jeff's clothes became so tight he couldn't breathe. Garrett laughed as Jeff choked, "Looks like I finally got you Jeff, this will teach you to meddle in my business," Garrett said evilly but Jeff wasn't done yet and he tried something he'd never done before.
He looked at the pool of melted metal that used to be a chainsaw and said "Regenerate," as the command left his lips the chainsaw came back together, "now cut me out of these clothes," The chainsaw obeyed and it began to cut Jeff out of his clothes while Garrett watched in amazement. "Carefully!" Jeff said to the chainsaw and the motor on the chainsaw ran a little quieter and finally Jeff was free. He then told LC's antique gun and crossbow to regenerate and go back into the cabinet with the other weapons.
Garrett was stunned and his jaw was on the floor, he truly had no idea how powerful Jeff Hardy's Gift from God was until now. "That's nine out of ten Garrett, now what was it that you were saving for last?" Jeff asked as Bebe brought some clothes down for him to put on. Garrett looked at the giant bumblebee with disdain. "He's a friend of mine," Jeff explained.
"Please you don't have to explain," Garrett said putting his hand up and shaking his head, "It figures that Jeff Hardy would have a giant pet bumblebee for a friend. Now for my last trick, I really didn't want it to come to this but you've bested me nine times out of ten and now I have no choice but to tear the house down with this final trick,"
Jeff didn't know how literal Garrett was being as he raised his hands towards the Sandbox and commanded it to come down on Jeff. Jeff knew that he could fly out of the way but that wasn't his concern, his concern was saving the Sandbox from being destroyed.
"No Garrett don't do it!" Jeff cried out but he needn't have cried out as no matter how hard he tried Garrett couldn't seem to get the Sandbox to fall down. There was something protecting it, something stronger than Garrett Calloway's evil powers and that something was the collective prayers of Cameron, Cheyenne and LC. The ARK Angels of DX had arrived just as Garrett was about to topple their home and they prayed that he would not be successful. Garrett finally gave up when they emerged from the distance. He then realized what had happened.
"You interfered, that's why I couldn't bring the house down!" he snapped at the ARK Angels.
"Please I already beat you nine times out of ten you lost the battle way before the ARK Angels got here Garrett, now are you going to make good on your promise to leave my family and the WWE alone or not?" Jeff said and Garrett was about to respond when he felt the angry hands of Cheyenne Michelle pulling at his jacket.
"How dare you try to destroy our home!" she said disgusted.
"I think you've outstayed your welcome Garrett and its time for you to get going, Chey make sure Garrett gets home as soon as possible please," Cameron said to his sister.
"With pleasure," Cheyenne replied and with her Phenomenal Strength she hurled Garrett Calloway across the sky with so much power that he was in Houston moments later.
"Now that's a Gift from God worth celebrating," Jeff Hardy said applauding Cheyenne Michelle who was still angry about what Garrett Calloway had done.
"Are you okay Jeff?" LC said coming over to the colorful wrestler and Jeff gave her a hug.
"It sure is good to see you guys, what made you come over?" Jeff asked them.
"God did, He told me you might need our help," Cameron answered.
"Well thank God you listened to Him, I don't know what I would have done if anything happened to the Sandbox," Jeff said.
"Yeah like we'd ever let anything happen to the house we all grew up in," Cameron said and Jeff looked at his watch.
"I have to go pick up Steph, she's not gonna believe what Garrett did. You guys wanna come with me?" he asked the ARK Angels.
"No we'll wait here for you," Cameron replied and LC and Cheyenne watched as Jeff flew to DX Inc.
"Why did you say that, I wanted to go with him?" Cheyenne said and Cameron put his arm around his sister.
"We need to talk sis," he said and Cheyenne raised her eyebrow suspiciously.
"About what?" she asked her brother.
"About your newest admirer, Garrett Calloway," Cameron said and Cheyenne gawked at him like he was crazy.
"What?" LC said in disbelief.
"Why would Garrett Calloway be interested in me after what I just did to him?" Cheyenne asked.
"He's attracted to power and you might be exactly what Stephanie is looking for, in fact you may be the answer we're all looking for," Cameron said and Cheyenne furrowed her brow.
"Brother what are you talking about?" Cheyenne asked Cameron.
"Yeah Cameron quit being cryptic and make it plain," LC said.
"Okay you want it plain, here it is – I want you to start being nice to Garrett Calloway, so nice in fact that you end up making Tristen Nash jealous and he'll start resenting Garrett so much that Garrett won't want to work with him at Best in the World anymore," Cameron explained.
"Then he'll want to work with his father instead at the WWE?" LC asked and Cameron nodded.
"Exactly," Cameron said.
"And all I have to do is be nice to him," Cheyenne said.
"Yup it's as simple as that," Cameron said.
"If it's so simple why do I feel like throwing up?" Cheyenne said.
"You might feel that way for awhile, in fact you might want to let Roderick Strong in on the plan, that way you'll have someone to hold your hair back when you're throwing up," Cameron said and LC laughed while Cheyenne put her head between her knees and LC rubbed her back. It was like a rehearsal for the nauseous days that lay ahead for the Girl with Phenomenal Strength and Cameron and LC would be there to support her like always.
