“I’ve heard about these,” David told him. “They’re element creatures, I’m sure you’ve heard of them too. After all, you’ve only listened to stories from Sparkerita your mother. Telling you they were real creatures, your younger brothers and sisters back in Tetris believe they exist as well. When I heard of it; I thought it all just fairy tales...” David looked down to the electric yellow creature with a night coloured one just like it. Both had stood up instantly and kept away from each other, they acted like they were Sparker and David meaning they didn’t like each other either. “But then I heard a secret, their race was almost wiped clean from the universe. These must be the last of them, and according by how these element creatures are now. They had been put into hibernation until... these artefacts find.” David put on his artefact gloves on that were still glowing warm, once his second was on his hand, the glow stopped. He looked at Sparker in amazement, beside them the night coloured creature had been given a shadow glow around him. Once the glow disappeared, David held up and looked at his covered hands of shadow. His power had become stable.
“So you found out how to harness your shadow power, big deal.” Sparker and David suddenly looked into the cave of darkness. Galax joined them to see what all the commotion was about. Kayleigh and Riowner kept Pinpon and Pequra behind for safety; Pinpin looked up and got startled by the little fox jumping up and sitting on her shoulders, hiding behind her head and ginger brown hair. Besides the element creatures in yellow, black and red; the smaller creatures ran behind Riowner and Kayleigh except the watery blue ran to hide behind Galax. She was then certain who was speaking but wasn’t exactly sure. It would be ‘F.O.D’.
Your next challenge is here.
The voice from the cave was sounding like a young adult, but then taunting laughter from them became seven different voices. Some voices belonged to women and laughed more villainy than the others. Riowner and Kayleigh looked at each other in confusion; they thought that ‘F.O.D.’ would be only one like Midnight and Magnent that work solo, but not like this.
“Your unity will be crushed by ours!” One of the women’s spoke, the laughter stopped. “Links in other teams have snapped, torn, cut, like string that had been sent here to defeat us. By being paid, we also caused catastrophic destruction which had given our name and sent it to the top of the most wanted ever. We are, 'The Forces of Destruction' or just, ‘F.O.D’.” Her final line struck Sparker and David hard. Snapped, torn, cut links in a team; Snapped means friendships break, torn means they split up and given up, and cut means killed. If they haven’t lost one fight, their strings are strong, tough, and unable to break. They do have a powerful unity, because they work together. If my friendship with strengthens up, we won’t stand a chance against them, unless we make them solo. David has a lot of experience on solo, Kayleigh works best as a team, Riowner and I work as a team and solo, Pinpin and the other two may not have any experience to fight and then there is Galax. Sparker thought hard to thing of a plan to face them, but getting their unity to break was hard.
“We’ve been told how your unity and friendship is like, your friendship and unity had snapped years ago, Sparker and David.” Another woman spoke but she was younger than the other one. “Your bond with Riowner is like ours Sparker but we specially tear that one apart. Fine links besides the snapped except... links to one.” Pinpin knew exactly which link it was to, she looked towards Sparker, David and Galax especially. “Yes, thin strings link to Ozaskger or should I say... Galax Night Star right now. I’m sure you’ve heard someone call you Yasae,” Galax was stunned, they’ve heard of that name as well, someone had told them. Her [Tantrum]. “If someone is called this, they are lost children of darkness. The walking dead that must return to the underworld.” As she kept describing on what Yasae meant, Galax felt drowsy, falling into a state of sleep. Words murmured and faded slowly, in their place were hypnotising words forcing her forward.
Come child, return home to me.
“Tira ish, des aran ketuf, orra san memor” Galax contained no control on she was saying or that she was starting to walk towards the stone cave. Sparker suddenly noticed Galax head for the cave in shock. She was about to enter until Sparker ran over to her and her back.
“Snap out of it, you don’t know what you’re doing here!” Sparker shouted to her, her eyes were just plain green. “Wake up, they are trying to get yourself killed or make you join them. Galax, Ozaskger come on!”
“How dare you keep her away from her true home!” A third woman screamed out from the cave, an arrow of energy flew out from the back of the cave heading towards Sparker and Galax. David gasped when he saw a small point light up in the darkness.
“Sparker, look out!” He shouted, inside Galax’s head came a jolt of warning. She finally woke up and saw the lit point heading for them, she was unable to move because Sparker had ignored David and keeping her still. Galax couldn’t do anything to stop the arrow from stabbing Sparker into the back. Everyone else gasped, a shield of darkness covered the mouth of the cave. They watched an explosion on the other side as the arrow hit the impenetrable shell.
“What, that’s impossible. David’s power or that shadow creature couldn’t make a shield that big. Someone else helped them.” The first voice spoke, his voice couldn’t be heard because of the blanket of night and the exploding light before them.
High above the cave, Navy and Crimson had left some time after the team got there. In black as night with their hand stretched out to touch the ground, was Tantrum. I actually want the chance to defeat you Yasae, because I helped you, I will get that chance since they will fail. Your true power is unstoppable but not seen yet. That is when I fight you, when you regain your true powers.
“David? Did you or that one...” Kayleigh asked, looking towards David and pointing towards the shell in front of Sparker and Galax but he shook his head. Sparker realised that she was trying to get him off; when he looked at her, she regain her proper sight. He looked behind him just in time to see the shield of night disappear. The electric yellow creature ears twitched and looked up, it looked puzzled as it saw Tantrum above them and walking away.
Sparker and Galax separated themselves from each other and returned back to their group. Looking back into the cave, seven figures with strange looking weapons were heading towards them in an arrow alignment. They stopped just behind the light boundary of where the sun shone. The end right stepped into the light, it was the women that last spoke and the one that fired the arrow. Everyone noticed her bow in hand and her other hand empty. Hair like sand and face plain white. Pinpin was startled though, she wore same colours and materials, and even her bow was sandy yellow.
“Arres I am, I’ve analysed that all of you own a different element and contrasted our past battles. They were just plain normal. We also have element powers like you, so we set which user of their element is greater. As you can tell my element is sand and I know that Pinpin! Will be my opponent in this battle.” Arres pointed at Pinpin with her little sand fox on her shoulders. Sparker was shocked, they’re going to out our untrained ones. Pinpon and Pequra will be next.
“No, leave them out of this Arres. They aren’t prepared for element battles, fight me instead of Pinpin.” Sparker shouted but a cloud of lightning struck him off his feet and onto his back. He struggled to get up until he caught sight of a figure using his stand of calling electricity.
“Are you deaf? We made the rules here, element verse the same element only. It will hardly seem fair if they were different. Whether they are or not fit to battle, they will soon learn how to battle using their element.” It was a male speaking to him, Arres just looked at him. “You must be patient and wait for your opponent to enter the arena. For now though,” He looked at the far left figure beside him and nodded, the other figure stretch his arm out and a slight move of his palm heading up. He lifted everyone except Pinpin and magically pushed back to the other end of the arena. Arres stepped forward while Pinpin stepped backward away from her. Arres stopped after Pinpin was near the centre of the arena.
“So Pinpin, are you afraid. Afraid of your first element battle, you better learn fast though. I fire quickly.” Pinpin was too scared to move away far from her, she didn’t know how to gain access to her power. Arres saw right through her thoughts, she gave a little smile. “I will give a chance to fight back, and may give you hints to battle me. But first do you know the sand elements call.” David got onto his feet in surprise as he watched Pinpin shake her head in reply to Arres’ question. Arres chucked her bow aside and took an arrow out from her small arrow case. Her arrows were the size of her hand, her left hand palm was underneath the tail of the arrow and her right palm covered the point of the arrow. She held the arrow in position in front of her chest and closed her eyes. “Take out your artefact from your pocket and do the same as me.” Arres finally said, Pinpin took out her plastic case with the Egyptian watch inside, holding the watch right way round, she copied Arres.
