El Monstruo was once a peaceful villager living on Padres del Fuego. One day, walking down the beach, he spotted a black and dark green sword. When he picked it up, the name came to him. La Espada Cactus. The name came in Jolly Roger's voice. Juan collapsed, and undertook a horrible transformation. When he awoke, he was lying, half buried in the hardened lava of Padres voclano. He got up, and walked to the water. When he looked at himself, he saw a monster. He jumped into the water, hoping to drown himself, but could not.
