Chapter 1: The Awakening

Who is Jack Seaeagle, exactly? He is the light of all worlds and is loyal to his friends. He's the warrior that fights against the darkness alongside his warrior friends, the Bladebearers. Their recent battle with the darkness ended up with Jack sacrificing himself to shield the world from the blast that could destroy it. And, who was John Skyfish? He was the light half of Jack's soul and heart...he was Jack's memories.

As Jack jumped out of the pod and landed on the white floor, he yawned and asked a simple question. "What happened to me? One second I feel dead, the next I feel lively. What's up with that?"

Del and Gastro didn't try to answer his question. They knew there was already trouble and that if they didn't hurry, the world would end.

"No time to explain. Just come with us before they get here." said Gastro. Confused, Jack replied, "Who's they?"

Out of nowhere, an echoing voice called out, "You called us?" All of a sudden, five black coated men appeared out of dark holes and stood from the above platform!

"Ah, thank you for awakening the hero my friends. You saved us a lot of trouble there." The five men laughed.

Del yelled worriedly, "What do you want, you strangers?" Smirking, the leader of the men said, "Strange? We're not strange. We're positively human." The five men laughed once again.

Jack Seaeagle then yelled out, "Then if you're not so strange, why don't you show us your faces?!" The leader then said, "Hello, Jack my brother. It's been a long time."

Jack looked both shocked and confused. "You're not my brother!!" The leader then said, "Oh, how sad that you don't remember your own brother. I suppose that you won't remember that I was taken away from our family too then."

Jack then replied, "You're lying! I don't have a brother, at least not in my memory! I would never forget one of my own family!"

"Really? Then, tell me...do you remember our mother or father?" Jack looked speechless. He then shook his head. "Exactly. Here's my side of the story... that fateful day when we were taken away, I was whisked onto a barren beach with no food or inhabitants. I was positively stranded. Then, the darkness came to me." said the leader. He continued, "It asked me if I wanted food. I said yes to it and waited for a reply. He then told me that if I wanted it, I would have to become one with the darkness myself. I refused again and again. Until, I realized...the darkness is too powerful to be struck down. With it, you could do anything. I finally agreed and I was given total power. The darkness made me a Dark Bladebearer and gave me the task to defeat all Bladebearers of Light. And, here you all are including my brother."

Jack didn't know what to do. Would he fight his brother? But, what if this man wasn't his brother? He had no choice.

"I'll fight you. Brother against brother. And, no help from your men over there." The man looked surprised that Jack had it in him. Perhaps Jack was stronger and braver than he originally thought. Nevertheless, he summoned his blade and got into his ready stance.

Jack also summoned his blade and readied himself with his stance. The two brothers would fight to the death unless one of them gave up. There was no escaping for either of them. The man's men stepped into the sidelines and so did Del, Gastro, Mark, and Jack Sparrow.

The battle was about to begin.
