Joy and Death

Chapter 11

A.N.: Hello! Chapter 11 of Joy and Death coming right up! I know it's been a wait and I do apologize. I do however, tend to try to update over 5 stories within a week…. XD Also, hope you guys know what satellites can do. :) ( I do not own slenderman or any of his brothers.) (….Unfortunately.)

Genderman grumbled under his breath incoherently. "What's wrong?" Viola asked.

Gender sucked in a breath. All at once, the brothers turned oddly rigid.

"By satellite… do you mean they are going to aim explosions at us?" asked Gender warily.

Viola nodded. "More than likely. How do you know?" Gender turned away, silent. His gaze was turned into the distance.

Slender answered "Gender once came across such a thing. Light poured from the sky, then intensified and everything exploded."

Viola nodded. "That gentlemen, is what is called a laser beam."

This was the first time she had ever seen the brothers so uneasy. She finally understood why and what they were thinking. They were sitting ducks because they were down here. On earth. If they were up in space, that thing wouldn't last two seconds near one of them due to their effect on technology. Viola made a choice then. She needed to move quickly though. As she decided this, she could see a thin sliver of light targeted on the roof of the mansion. Everyone else followed her gaze and cursed.

Offender growled. "Pests."

Splendor: "Wow they really want us dead huh?" Viola turned to Slender.

"Can you teleport me to the top of your mansion?" Slender looked at her. He knew he plan.

"Are you insane?" he hissed.

Viola of course, deadpanned. "Probably, why do you ask?" Before Slender could retort,

Viola reached a hand out to him. "Please."

She said it as if there was no asking. There wasn't. He finally complied after a minute long harsh stare.

Slender had teleported me up to the roof, right where the bright beam of light. I'd noticed it had gotten a little bigger. That meant time was ticking until it fired. Slender stared at me strangely.

"You should go back down to you brothers. Please try to stay in the courtyard of the mansion…" I trailed off, looking up at the sky.

I extended a hand out to my side, and my bandaged sword appeared for me. Its sight thump vibration told me it was ready for action and responding well.

"What are you planning to do exactly?" He emphasized the last word.

He knew the general thoughts running through her head at the moment, but that was all.

"What I can." Viola replied softly.

Just then, the ray of light intensified noticeably from the size of a two dollar coin to the size of a barrel.

"Go!" I hissed at Slender.

He stared at me, before disappearing. He actually listened this time. My bandaged sword and I wasted no time. Its web poured forth, strands and strips of bandages pouring forth from the weapon. The mansion was now protected by a large white dome. Her sword could be seen visibly now without its bandages. She noted, making sure that Slender and the brothers where inside. She saw them below, looking up at the dome. Now, she could concentrate knowing they were out of harm's way. Her sword responded to her will once more. Her sword began to glow azure-blue. She closed her eyes, intent on her task. A faint whirring noise could be heard from the air. The satellite was going to fire. The azure glow intensified, and she strengthened her grip on her sword. Then silence struck. Silence spoke to Viola in volumes telling her that in ten seconds, it would fire. Viola roared in rage as the beam struck the dome of bandages. The dome couldn't hold. Viola however, planned on that. The beam was goring itself through her bandaged dome. By now, the azure light from her sword had illuminated the entire mansion fiercely. The beam broke through the dome.

I growled out. "Sacred Wheel of Fate: Azure Mirror Reflection!" Several magic circles in the color of flashing azure appeared before her, all resembling a cog wheel.

One below her was the largest. I stood, poised for the brunt of the attack. It hit, and I forced my sword straight above my head against the force of the Satellite's beam. My energy ate up that of the satellites, then raced all the way back up in the sky. Even from here, I could make out the explosion from space. I felt my body failing. The satellite's attack had been destroyed, along with the metal monstrosity itself. My bandages retracted swiftly, back onto my sword. My pupils became tiny as I take in the sight of the landscape in shock.

No way! My brain argued.

My ex will suffer for this. I growled to myself before I fell off the roof.

I couldn't hold onto my sword as I fell. It separated itself from my grasp. What caused my shock was the burnt trees, other broken and splintered. Most bore the latter, some were on fire. The wind passed my face through my hair as I fell, and was glad I blacked out before I could hear anything.

Slender gawked at the damage in his family's forest. He recalled his past, how many referred to I'm and his brothers as the monsters. But these humans as of late… Trender screamed, and snapped Slender's attention to his youngest brother. Slender followed the Gaze and is eyes popped wider before he acted. He teleported in the air right close by Viola, grabbed her, and then teleported back to ground level. She stirred slightly in his arms, and he realized that she was unconscious. Then he realized, she had saved him and his brother's lives. Gender appeared by his side. He held the sword that Viola had used with care. Then he shifted into his female form. Slender looked away from his-now-sister, and gazed down at the odd mortal he carried. He also began to realize, that for the first time in hundreds of years, he owed a human being a debt of gratitude.
