The Rise of the Seven Masters (NosferatutheDeathwing)

== Rise of the 7 Masters (Don't Steal Please) ==
=== By: NosferatutheDeathwing ===
=== Plot Line ===
The story takes place in a world similar to Pyrrhia except the kingdoms are on separate continents. Ignitia (Kingdom of Fire), Aerocia (Kingdom of Air), Keraunogea (Kingdom of Lightning), Hydracia (Kingdom of Water), Geocita (Kingdom of Earth), Cryia (Kingdom of Ice), and Biolocia (Kingdom of Plants). When the Ignitian King Magma dies of poisoning, his sons Smoke, Scorch, and Ember fight for the throne and the rest of the world(similar to Blister, Blaze, and Burn). Smoke got support from Keraunogea and Ignitia, Scorch got Cryia and Aerocia, and Ember controlled Hydracia and Geocita (Biolocia stayed neutral because it had plenty of resources and a neutral population). The war was terrible and hundreds of thousands of people died (there are humans instead of dragons, but they can change into dragons) and many thought it would never end.
Then, a Keraunogean named Thunderbolt wrote a prophecy:
“When the war is in its 50th year, and the land groans with struggle and fear…
Our saviors will come…
First, find the child of the Ocean Blue, and master of Lightning will come to you… Search on the mountain of Sky, and controller of Wind take wing and fly.. Look through the Earthiest dirt of caves, and master of Plants will stop the digging of graves… Look on the land of Fire and blood, and Heat will rise from the mud… Finally on a southern ship filled with vermin and mice, holds the future ruler of Ice…
Our saviors are coming to us..
7 children born in the midst of gore
7 masters will rise to end the war
Our Masters are coming…”
An organization similar to the Talons of Peace called, the 7 Elements raise those 7 children in the Vine Cave on the relatively safe Biolocia.
They are…
Iceberg, Heat, Gamma, Piranha, Kite, Earthquake, and Clover and this is their destiny… if they can survive…
About the Characters
Iceberg
Iceberg is the leader of the group and like any leader he is devoted to his friends and always knows what is right. He is the master of ice and is the heir to the throne of Cryia. He was found on an abandoned ship in the Sea of Storms as a baby.
Heat
Heat is the master of fire and one of the more mature ones in the group. He is sometimes bad tempered and sarcastic which can cause him to heat up dramatically (hence his name).
Gamma
Gamma is the master of lightning and is faster than some gamma waves of light (hence the name Gamma). Because of his speed, he think he's the greatest and is sometimes cocky and overconfident (though sometimes he can be sincere and think about others).
Piranha
Piranha is the master of water and is one of the only girls (there are two others) in the group. She is a great swimmer and refers to herself as the leader and is sometimes envious of Iceberg though they are still good friends (P.S. she has a crush on Gamma).
Kite
Kite the master of air and another one of the girls in the group. She is very supportive of Piranha and they are best friends. Being an Aerocian, she has her own glider and when in her dragon form she is the best flyer.
Earthquake
Earthquake is also a girl in the group and is the master of earth. She is very kind and responsible despite her great strength (she sometimes thinks she is too much of brute) and is often look up to by others as a big sister.
Clover
Clover is the master of plants and the artist of the bunch. He is shy and reserved but has mega talent on a canvas. He has a pure heart and loves to help others (he has a crush on Amber). He is very intelligent and loves nature, often using it in experiments and paintings.
Book 1: The Master's Journey
Part 1: The Beginning
Iceberg was in a plain filled with ice and snow. “This is amazing!!” he shouted as the sun’s warm rays kissed his face. All of a sudden his teacher Meteor starts yelling at him. He yells, “Do your homework!!” “Brush your teeth!” “Use your ice powers!!” Suddenly Iceberg woke to a yelling Meteor shaking him back and forth in his bed to wake him up. “Wake up Iceberg, or you’ll be late for training!!”, he screamed. “Alright alright I’m up okay.”
“Well then hurry now!”, Meteor said with a softer voice. Meteor was a retired general who fled from the war with his family and joined the 7 Elements. Despite his old job, he was kind and soft on the inside, but still pushed others to do what is right. He was Iceberg’s favorite teacher, even though Cryians and Ignitians don’t usually get along. “Alright then, eat your breakfast and meet Sparks downstairs in 15 minutes.” Meteor said.
Iceberg was the master of ice and the lost heir to the throne of Cryia (even though he doesn't know it yet). He ate his breakfast of pineapples and strawberries. “I prefer frozen fruit instead.”, he complained.  He slid down the rail on the carved cave stairs to the training room where he saw his friend Heat. “Ugh, what took you so long?” he groaned.
Heat was definitely a Ignitian with a attitude. He always seemed to be grouchy, stubborn, sarcastic, and bad tempered. Although on the inside he was very considerate and worrying for his friends. “Come on we got to get inside before Mr. Bossy gives us his version of a “reward” for being late.”, he said sarcastically. “Mr. Bossy”, was their training teacher, Sparks who was a lot like Gamma in many ways.
He was a P.E. teacher for Lightning City High School and like many gym teachers that make up stereotypes he was bossy, cocky, and super athletic. It was no wonder Gamma and Piranha, the two most arrogant, stubborn, and athletic members of the group, were his star pupils. Inside the hall they saw Piranha, Gamma, Earthquake, Clover, and Kite already inside. They quickly rushed over to their friends before Sparks could notice.
“Just where do you think you’re going!”, he shouted as he saw them sneaking around. “Get in line while I explain what today’s activity is.” he said as he took point off of Iceberg and Heat’s names on the chart above them and walked to the front of the line. Both boys put their heads down while Gamma was about to burst like a firecracker with excitement for the next activity. “Today’s exercise is simple, last as long as you can in the ring.” Spark’s said as he pointed towards the small ring. “Two will compete against each other and if one wins that person moves to the next round until the final round.” he instructed.
“First up are Clover and Earthquake.” he said pointing toward the two. Both entered the ring and began to spar with each other. Earthquake shot a rock hurtling towards Clover and hit him in the face by accident. “Sorry bud!” she said with a worried tone. “It’s okay.” Clover replied as he healed himself with his plant powers.
Clover was out and next up were Gamma and Kite. Gamma tried to shoot a bolt of lightning at her, but Kite leaped into the air and flew away to dodge it in time. She blew a gust of wind at him, which he dodged. Unfortunately he went so fast he broke through the lining of the ring and fell out, getting disqualified. He went to the bench with Clover and tried to nurse back his pride after being beaten by a girl who was younger than him.
“Nice job out there.” Clover said with a smile on his face. No one knew why, but Clover was always cheerful and upbeat about everything, and always tried to make people feel better. “Thanks.” Gamma replied. “Next up was Piranha and Heat, which would definitely be intense.” Iceberg thought to himself. He was worried that he wouldn't do good in his turn.
After about 15 minutes of sparring, it was the final round: Iceberg vs Heat. Two bests friends that were complete opposites fighting each other. Iceberg sighed, knowing although Heat didn't want to hurt him, he would still try to beat Iceberg. It began with Heat shooting a fireball at Iceberg. Iceberg put up an ice shield but it instantly melted when the fireball hit it.
When Iceberg got knocked back, he plucked up his courage and rage and stomped down hard, causing ice to spring up out of the ground and knocked Heat out of the ring. When he released what he had done, Iceberg jumped out of the ring and ran towards his friend. “Heat, I am so sorry, I didn't know what happened!” he said. “It’s okay, you did great.” Heat replied as he got up. “Alright class is dismissed, so all of your go to the main hall for lunch while I mark down your grades.” Sparks stated in a calmer tone.
The group raced each other up the stairs to the main hall. “Mmm… this fruit... is amazing!” Clover shouted with his mouth full of berries. “Hmm.. I've had better.” Kite said. The clock rang and the group was about to head to their next class when Meteor called them for a meeting in the living area. “What do you think it is?” asked Kite. “I don’t know, but it’s probably some surprise pop quiz or something.” said Heat as the group followed Meteor to the living area.
Part 2: The Secret
Iceberg was surprised to see Thunderbolt and the other members of the 7 Elements all waiting in the living area. When the students seated, Thunderbolt announced, “Welcome students, you are probably wondering why we called you here.” “Not really.” Heat thought in a sarcastic mood. “We have some big news for you all.” Thunderbolt said. “Well then what is it?” Kite asked. “Yeah don’t keep us waiting, we’re soooo excited.” Heat said.
“We have called you all here to announce that you seven are… the Masters of the Prophecy.” “Wait, what!?!?!” Iceberg yelled. “It is true, we have raised you all to fight like real masters.” Meteor said. “Even though some of you kept show up late for class!!” Sparks remarked. “Wow, I can’t believe it. Does that mean we’ll have to save the world!?!?” Clover quietly said. “Yes Clover.” Ammonite, the science teacher, said.
“You've trained well, and we think you are old and experienced enough to leave the cave and start your journey.” Thunderbolt said. “Well, I guess, but only if you think we are ready.” Iceberg stated. “We do.” Thunderbolt replied. “Alright, then we will leave tonight.” Iceberg decided. “We wish you luck and have the utmost faith in you all.” Meteor said.
Ammonite came up to Clover and gave him a map. “Here’s a map to Arbor City. It should take you two days to get there.” she said. “From there you will get a boat to Lightning City and talk King Shockwave into becoming peaceful.” she added. “Thank you, and we will not let you down.” replied Clover. That night after they packed their belongings, Iceberg said, “Guys, our journey begins now.”.
Part 3: Road to Lightning City
It’s been two days since the future masters left the Vine Cave and they are now approaching Arbor City. “Wow, this place is amazing!!” Earthquake said. “Look at all the food!” Kite yelled. “Don’t stuff yourselves. Remember why we are here.” Heat said. “He’s right, we have to get to the port before nightfall, or else we’ll miss the next boat.” Iceberg added.
“Ooo look, fresh pineapple and coconut drinks on sale!”, Clover excitedly shouted as he rushed over to the stand. “No, wait, Clover, get back here!”, Piranha shouted. While running towards the store, Clover accidentally runs into a local named Amber. “Oww!”, the young Biolocian yelped.
“Oops! Sorry!”, said Clover as he apologized.  “I didn't see you there Ms.-”, “Amber, my name is Amber.” the girl said as she got back on her feet. “It’s okay, I can see why you were excited.” Amber said as she pointed to the stand. Clover blushed and hid his face under his over-sized hat. Amber giggled and asked, “I’ve never seen you before, are you new around here?”
Just before Clover could answer his friends came rushing to him. “Clover don’t run off like that, we need to stick together.” Earthquake said with concern.  
“Okay.” Clover sighed while glancing over to Amber. “I got to go, see you later.” Amber waved goodbye to the shy little plant master. The group reached the port and caught the next boat to Keraunogea. Iceberg thought of how the kind old man at the ticket booth reminded him of Meteor. After about four days on the Sea of Ashes, the group arrive at Lighting City.
“Ugh finally, even I was getting seasick.” Piranha mentioned. After spending all day walking through the city, they arrived to the palace. “Yeah, we made it, even through all of that terrible traffic!” Kite complained. “I thought that in a city full of electricity would be faster than me.” Gamma added. At the door to the palace were holographic guards.
“Halt, who goes there?” one asked. “We are here on official business to see King Shockwave.” Iceberg stated. “You may enter.” the other said. “Thanks!” Kite shouted eagerly. The guards gave Kite a long, hard, and suspicious look until Heat gave them a similar glare to back off.
The group walked through the halls to the throne room where they saw King Shockwave and Ember talking. “Welcome travelers, what business do you have here in Keraunogea?” he asked. “We are the 7 Masters of the Prophecy Thunderbolt wrote” explained Iceberg. Before King Shockwave could reply with anything, Smoke dropped down from nowhere with seven guards. They quickly threw smoke bombs and kidnapped the masters and took them outside where they {took dragon form and} flew away for Ignitia’s Flame City.
Part 4: Battle to the Death
Once they arrived in Flame City Smoke and his guards threw the masters into the dungeon. “You can’t does this to us, don’t you know who we are?!?!” Piranha screamed. “Yes, a bunch of pathetic brats that should have never left home.” Smoke replied harshly. “Now nothing can stop me from controlling the world!” he laughed evilly. “What’s going to happen to us?” Iceberg asked as he felt himself about to burst into tears.
“You will be put in my Inferno Colosseum, where you will fight each other… to the death!” Smoke replied. “What!?!” Iceberg thought. “The battle will begin at sunrise, and, if one of you is to survive, you will be let free.” Smoke said with an evil smile. Iceberg was heart broken. There was no way he could even bare the idea of fighting his friends.
“See you all tomorrow.” Smoke said as he walked away. Iceberg looked around at his friends. Earthquake banged her head on the wall thinking, Gamma and Heat were talking, Piranha was trying to break out with little success, Kite was about to burst in tears, and Clover was…. surprisingly sound asleep. Iceberg slept that night with a lot of questions on his mind: “How would they get out? Would any of us survive? Do we really have to fight each other?
On the morning of the battle, Heat woke up everyone and said, “Whatever happens today, I want you all to know you've all been the greatest friends.” Heartbroken, Kite rushed over to him and hugged him so hard he would pop like a balloon, but instead of getting mad, he and the others all hugged each other. However Clover was still tired and after the hug he curled back up in bed. Then the guards came and took them to the Colosseum.
A crowd of a thousand people cheered and screamed. Smoke came into his booth and announced, “Welcome all, to the 7th annual Inferno Colosseum battle.” Iceberg again tried to be brave, but it was useless. “Today we have before us, the all powerful “Masters of the Prophecy” who will fight each other to the death!” Smoke said.
Up first were Kite and Earthquake. Earthquake tried to throw rocks but she was heartbroken and missed every time. Then, Iceberg tried to throw  balls of ice at Smoke to distract him, but it only made him more angry. “How dare you!” he said. He took dragon form and flew down into the arena to kill Iceberg himself.
Iceberg thought he was done for, and shouted, “Nooo!!” All of a sudden the supposedly sleeping Clover changed into his dragon form, ran out into the arena, and shot a poisonous shard at Smoke’s heart, instantly ending his life (similar to how Glory attacked Queen Scarlet). Smoke screamed in agony and everyone was in shock. Iceberg seized the moment to get he and his friends out of the arena.
Part 5: The End?
“Come on let’s go!!!” he said while holding the door out. He and the others fled through the city towards the docks and jumped onto the boat at the last minute. Once they were safe they all hugged each other in relief. That’s when Iceberg asked, “Hey Clover how’d you do that, I thought you asleep?”. “Did you all really think I was asleep that whole time, I was just waiting for the right moment.” Clover replied.
“Well how’d you do it?” Piranha asked. “Oh well I sure there’s a very logical scientific explanation, and seriously right now you want to have this conversation!!” Heat sarcastically remarked. “Alright now, let’s not forget our mission, we still have to go back to Lightning City and talk to King Shockwave, not to mention we have to deal with Ember and Scorch.” Earthquake said. “So how exactly will we talk to them?” Gamma asked. “I don’t know, but I do know that the world is resting on our shoulders, and we cannot let everyone down.” Iceberg said.
“After all, we our the Masters of the Prophecy, and this is our destiny.”
Book 2: A Piranha’s Tooth
Book 2: A Piranha’s Tooth
Prologue: The Masters have just escaped the Inferno Colosseum and killed Prince Smoke. They are now on their way to Hydracia to help King Current reclaim his throne from Ember. It is a peaceful and beautiful sea kingdom, but when Piranha gets kidnapped, can the group conquer their fears of the abyss and save her?
Part 1: The Plunge
Piranha has always been adventurous and brave and when Iceberg says that they are headed to Hydracia she almost pops with excitement. She was excited to see her own kind for the first time and learn about their culture. Soon the ferry approached the archipelago. “Attention all passengers we are approaching Hydracia and will be porting in ten minutes.” the captain said. “Oh my gosh I’m so excited!” Piranha yelled. “Careful, don’t let your head blow up.” Heat remarked.
“Oh shut up!” Piranha shot back. “Alright you two don’t sink or burn down the the ferry.” Clover said. “Ugh, fine.” they both said in unison. The boat docked in Tidal City and the group headed towards the partially submerged River Palace. It’s a beautiful aquamarine palace with pure water pouring out of the sides to fill a glistening moat.
“Wow this place is cool!” Kite shouted. “Hmm… I’ve seen better.” Gamma told her. They went inside to talk to King Current but when they got to the throne room he wasn't there. “Where is he?” Piranha asked. “How should I know?” Heat replied.
“I’m sure he’s just in the underwater part of the palace, so we should go down there.” Clover suggested. “Alright if you say so.” Earthquake said. Iceberg, Heat, and Gamma took the elevator, Clover, Kite, and Earthquake took the stairs, and Piranha just swam. “Ewww, what is this green stuff in the water?” Kite asked. “It’s algae. It’s like plants, but it is very small and grows on the surface of water.” Clover said
“Well it’s disgusting!” Kite complained. The group got down to the crossroads of hallways and Iceberg suggested they split up into groups. “Heat and I will go to the left, Piranha and Gamma will go to the right, and Clover, Earthquake, and Kite will go down the middle.". “Alright then Sparks Junior.” Heat remarked. The group went down each hallway until Clover shouted, “Guys, I think I’ve found something!”
The others raced towards him and he told them what he found (Or in this case, heard). “I hear moaning coming from the prison over there.” Clover whispered. Piranha slowly opened the door and led the group down the eerie hallway of prison cells, with the moaning getting louder as they drew closer. Soon they found the source, King Current, locked in chains in a small cell at the end. “King Current! What are you doing down here?!”
King Current began the story. “I made an agreement in that return for support him, Ember would give Ignitian land to Hydracia but he went back on his promise and threw me in prison.” he said. “Why that little-!” Piranha said as she was about to erupt like a volcano. “Alright, calm down, don’t blow up and sink the whole palace.” Heat said. “Wait! What if we free him!” Kite suggested with a smile on her face.
“It’s unlikely, Ember hid the key and these bars are too strong.” Current said. “Maybe I can try!” Earthquake shouted. She grabbed the bars and easily bent them in half to make a hole for Current to escape through. “Well that was easy.” Earthquake said. “Thank you masters, I am eternally grateful and will let you sleep in the palace tonight.
“Yeah! I call bunk with Gamma!” Kite joked. Piranha didn't think it was a joke and got a little jealous. “Sounds great, but we can't stay for too long. We still have to stop Ember and Scorch.” Iceberg added. “Can we at least stay for one night, please!” Clover begged. “Okay fine, you know I can’t say no to that face.”  Iceberg replied.
Part 2: The Abduction
That night the group slept in fancy rooms lined with jewels and fish tanks as walls. Iceberg had the dream of playing in the snow again. He’d never seen snow in his life, only pictures of snowy landscapes in their science textbooks. He wanted to play in it so much and go back to Cryia to experience it first hand. All of sudden the snow melted and he woke up as he heard Piranha screaming from her room.
He peaked outside his room and saw a Hydracian man about a foot taller than him drag Piranha out of her room kicking and screaming. He then shot a tranquilizer dart at her, tied her up and took her away. He ran after them but they vanished into the darkness. He woke up the others and went to King Current. “King Current, help, Piranha was kidnapped by someone and we lost them!" he said.
King Current looked worried. He told them that when Ember heard of the Prophecy he hired assassins and kidnappers to stop the masters. Piranha’s abductor was Abyss, an old kidnapper that was never relieved of his post. “Abyss is taking Piranha to the depths of the ocean to lock her up and let her rot there.” Current said. “Then we got to go after them!” Kite yelled.
“Alright but be careful, for Abyss is very intelligent and dangerously cunning.” Current added. The group went outside and into town to get diving gear. “We’ll need a lot of supplies to save Piranha.” Gamma said. “Or you know we could always take a submarine like the one right behind you.” Heat remarked. They all jumped into the sub and submerged into the water.
Part 3: In Hot Pursuit
They looked for Abyss, but the water was too murky to see anything from a distance. Clover switched on the radar and found Abyss’ heat signature. They went down further in hot pursuit, but Abyss was in dragon form and was very agile in the water. He tried to hide in the kelp, but his heat signature gave him away. The group soon found themselves going into a deep sea trench.
Then, out of nowhere, a person in dragon form runs into the side of the sub by accident. “Ah, we've been hit, we’re all going to die!!” Kite screamed. ‘Uh Kite, it’s just a dent.” Clover said to the overreacting Kite. “Oh, sorry.” Kite said as she sat down and blushed. The unidentified person in dragon form turned out to be Seaweed, Ammonite's first born son and Piranha’s cousin.
“Ugh, my head.” he said trying to regain balance from the impact. “Why did you do that!” Earthquake said. Seaweed came inside the sub. “Sorry about the impact there but I was just trying to save whoever was in that bag Abyss is carrying.” he said. “Piranha!” Gamma shouted. Then Seaweed thought, hasn’t he known whose name was Piranha?
After talking to Seaweed, the group continued their rescue mission and found Abyss’ hideout in a small bunker at the bottom of the ocean. They dropped anchor and went inside. They looked around and saw the holding cell. They found Abyss talking to Piranha as she swore and cursed at him. “Let me go you slimy little piece of tuna! I’m going to rip your head off and stuff it down a burning volcano!” she said.
When Abyss walked away, the group seized their chance and tried to rescue Piranha. In the blink of an eye, Ember and his guards came out of nowhere and trapped the group. “Wait, this was a trap!?!” Iceberg said. “Gee, I’m surprised we didn't notice a bunch of weirdos hanging from the ceiling ready to drop down on us, because this only happened for like, the second time already!!” Heat remarked. “You know Heat, if I had a coin for every time you used sarcasm in a life or death situation I’d be the richest Keraunogean alive.” Gamma said.
Earthquake managed to rip off her handcuffs and destroyed the circle of guards. However she also brought down a support column and the whole building started to collapse above. The others untied Piranha and ran to the exit.
Part 4: Swim for Your Life
“Ah!! We’re going to get crushed!” Kite screamed. A large piece of the ceiling fell down and was about to crush Piranha. Then, Seaweed pushed her out of the way, but couldn’t save himself. “No!” Piranha said as Earthquake picked her up and escaped through the exit. The whole building was gone.
The guards, Abyss, and Seaweed, vanished with it.
The group and Ember managed to escape. Before any of them could grieve over Seaweed, they had to stop Ember before he made it to the surface and escaped. They chased him in their submarine, and, unlike Abyss, he wasn't a good swimmer. The almost had him, but something came up on the radar. It was too murky to see far away, and the radar was blurry.
“What do you think it is?” Kite asked. “I don’t know, but then again I can’t even see.” Clover said. They turned on the headlights. They didn't see anything. Then, they saw a large, fish-like silhouette in the water, then another, and another.
Soon they were circling around the sub. They were sharks, giant, man-eating, sharks. These were Megalocharcaros, the largest sharks ever, and they were hungry. Each of them took turns ramming and charging the sub. The group tried to break out of the circle, but the sharks would attack every time.
“We gotta get out of here before they destroy the sub!” Iceberg said. “I got an idea. If we escape through the emergency exit on the bottom, they won’t see us.” Earthquake suggested. “Yeah but unless we swim correctly, they’ll sense us and eat us, and I’m pretty sure no one but Piranha knows.” Heat said. “We could change into our dragon forms and fight them.” Gamma said. “Unless we did it all at once at the alpha, it’s a suicide mission.” Heat said.
“Can you for once not be so sarcastic!! We’re doing it anyway!” Piranha shouted. She was still upset about Seaweed dying. “Piranha, calm down, we need to get out of here.” said. “Fine.” she replied. “Come on let’s go.” he said.
They all took dragon form and went outside. At first the sharks were unsure of what to do, but eventually they attacked. Clover once again shot a poison shard at the alpha, but the old male drove on. He lashed out at Gamma and Clover, but Piranha bit him with her jagged teeth. The bit was so deep, you could see a hole right through the shark.
The alpha bled to death and sank to the bottom of the ocean while his pack swam into the abyss to eat his bloody carcass. The group changed back to human form and swam for the surface. When they got there Ember had already got on a boat to his secret base in Geocita. “Darn it, he got away!” Gamma said. “Well, the important thing is that we’re all alive.” Clover said.
“Thanks for biting that shark Piranha, we owe you one” the two said. “Don’t mention it, but I wish I could have saved Seaweed. I hardly knew him and now he’s dead.” Piranha said. “We all miss him, but we have to keep going to stop Ember.” Iceberg said. “Yeah, I guess you’re right.” Piranha said. “Ow! Hey, I think I lost my tooth when I bit that shark, I hope it grows  back soon.” she said.
Book 3: Earthquakes, Sandstorms, and Bandits
Book 3: Of Earthquakes and Storms
Prologue: The group has driven Ember from Hydracia to Geocita after a building almost collapses on them and Megalocharcaros almost devour them. They now must brave high magnitude earthquakes and sandstorms to his hideout, but can Earthquake keep her sanity in the dry deserts?
Part 1: Land of Giants
After weeks of island hopping, the group has reached the coast of Geocita. “Ugh, finally, dry land. I was starting to get seasick.” Earthquake complained. She was happy to be on solid ground for once. “I think we should rest a bit before moving inland.” Iceberg said. “Well I know someone sure likes being here.” Heat said as he pointed to Earthquake making a sand-angel.
Clover and Kite thought it would be a good time to ask for directions or a guide for the desert. They knew from Ammonite’s geography lesson that the interior of Geocita can be harsh and extremely dry. They went to the travel stand, where Kite asked where Ember’s secret hideout was. “First of all, I don’t know where that is. Second of all, even if I did know, it wouldn't be much of a secret if I told you now would it.” the man said. “Can we at least have a guide for the desert?” Clover asked.
“Well why didn't you just say so! That will be 15 elemental cash please.” he said. “Darn it I’m one short! Hey Clover could I borrow one?” Kite asked. “Ugh, fine, but you owe me back.” Clover said as he gave her the coin. They and the rest of the group hopped on their camels and followed the guide into the desert.
“Hey look over there!”, Kite said. The caravan had came upon a herd of three-humped camels migrating to the north. “Cool!” Clover said. Suddenly the herd broke out and ran away in a stampede. The cause- a pack of agile and deadly wolf-like  animals called paracanis. Luckily for the group, these predators don’t attack humans and are very wary.
The pack ran off into the dunes. The group then sees why. A herd of giant giraffe like animals over 36 feet high. They are migrating to their summer breeding grounds in the north. They are so big that they almost step on the caravan.
“They’re so big!” Kite said. “Well, Geocita is the largest continent, so everything is big.” Earthquake said. The ride lasted for four hours before they arrived at an oasis. “Finally! Water!” Piranha said as she raced to the pond. Before she could jump in the herd of giraffe-like animals from earlier came rushing down to drink and almost stepped on her.
She managed to get to the water and swim away. She climbed back in the cart soaking wet. “That, was close.” she said as she fainted. “Hey you, fish girl, get out! I can’t have anyone getting the seats wet! They are very expensive!” the driver said. Piranha got out of the cart and dried off with a towel.
“What a cheapskate!” she murmured. She got back in and the caravan continued. After three minutes, Kite sensed something wrong. Like all Aerocians, she can sense a change in wind, and even predict storms. “Guys, I don’t feel good. I feel like something bad is about to happen.”
Part 2: A Storm is Coming
“It’s probably nothing, I mean look, the sky is completely clear.” Gamma reassured. “It’s not an ordinary storm… I think it’s a… SANDSTORM!!” She shouted. She was right, the wind picked up thousands of pounds of sand. Sandstorms are common in Geocita and are usually mild, but not this one. It was a super sandstorm, higher than any tree or building, with enough sand to bury all of Lightning City twenty feet deep.
The storm ripped through the caravan. The wind strong enough to knock over a skyscraper.  “AHH!!” the group screamed. A mountain of sand was dumped and buried the caravan. When the storm retreated, Earthquake woke up to an eerie sight.
Part 3: All Alone
The caravan was gone, her friends nowhere in sight. After hours of digging through the sand she couldn't find them. She almost thought the worst when she noticed footprints in the sand. She knew they didn't belong to her friends, since she knew what theirs looked like. Earthquake was at a crossroad: either play it safe at the site of the incident, or, follow the tracks into a world of danger and uncertainty.
She took her chances. She followed the tracks for miles in the empty desert. There was nothing but sand, sand, and… more sand. It was unbearably hot, and no water for miles. The only thing keeping her going, was her determination to find her friends. She’ll have to use her strength and smarts, her brain and brawn together, if she was to survive the harsh and unforgiving land.
A few times she collapsed, only to get back up again. She was becoming weak, to weak to even take dragon form. And, in this state, she’s as vulnerable as her friends were. Even the paracanis were beginning to take interest. She came to a cliff where the tracks mysteriously ended, so she knew she had to climb.
A pack of paracanis ran out of nowhere and started circling her, trapping her from escape. She gathered up all of her remaining strength and took dragon form. When the alpha male jumped at her, she smack him with her tail club, killing him instantly. The pack retreated at the alpha’s collapse. However, Earthquake too, also collapsed.
For a while, she thought she was dead, until she open her eyes at a curious face. It was a face she has never seen before in her life, yet somehow it was eerily familiar. The face belong to a nomadic boy named Dodo, because he couldn't fly in dragon form. He looked around Earthquake’s age, but with freckles and blue eyes. He called for his sister Sandstorm, who came running towards him and the half-dead Earthquake’s body.
“Hello there, who are you?” Dodo asked. “My name is Earthquake, master of earth.” she said as she found her balance. “What happened?” she asked. “I was getting water from my well when I heard a roar, so I came over to where I heard it and found you.” he said. “Well, thanks, you saved my life.” she said.
“Don’t mention it!” he said. His upbeat attitude and kind-hearted nature reminded her so much of Clover. “Well I better get going so I can find my friends.” she said. “Oh please, take some water. You look dehydrated and we have more than enough.” Sandstorm said. “Thank you.” she said.
She didn't know it, but those two would affect her for the rest of her life. She follow the tracks day after day, until they mysteriously stopped. She looked around for more, but couldn't find any. Tired, she sat down on a stone, which turned out to be a secret pressure plate. A hatch open with a ladder leading down.
Earthquake knew she had no choice. “Oh well, here comes nothing.” she said. Then she climbed down.
Part 4: Lair of Thieves
She climbed down so deep that it became pitch black, before she saw the faint light of a torch. She got down to a hallway which she walked down. “Who lives here?” she said. Then she saw who. A painting of Ember was at the end of the hallway.
She knew only Ember was vain enough to put a picture of himself in his lair. She turned down a corner and saw what she’d been looking for. He friends were all in cages and Ember was talking to Iceberg. “Okay, okay, okay, since you obviously won’t give in, I’ll give you a bit of money to stop trying to stop me from taking over the world.” Ember said. “You mean you’re bribing us.” Heat said sarcastically.
“No, not bribing, giving you money to stop.” Ember said. “Uh, that’s what bribing means genius.” Heat said. “Shut up you little brat!” Ember snapped back. Ember just broke the number one rule the group had: never… ever… snap back at Heat! Heat got some mad he literally almost melted through the metal chains he was in.
Earthquake seized her chance. She took dragon form and pounced on Ember, knock him over. “What! How did you find this place!” Ember shouted furiously. “Next time, cover up your tracks you conniving little-” Earthquake said as she restrained herself from cursing. She smacked him with her tail club.
Guards came rushing in to stop her. Like the with the paracanis, Earthquake knew she had to knock out the leader, so she used her powers to cause a massive earthquake. Big mistake. The walls and ceiling began to collapse and sand leaked through from above. She broke her friends out and they all ran towards the exit.
They all managed to escape, and, unlike in Hydracia, Ember didn't come out. “Yay, we finally got rid of Ember! I hated him.” Gamma said. “I’m just glad you’re all alive.” Earthquake said. “Thanks for saving us!” Clover and Kite said. “Alright, let’s go to Cryia to stop Smoke. This desert is making me crazy!” Earthquake said.
Book 4: A Clover in a Field
Book 4: A Clover in a Field
Prologue: No one in the group is happier and kinder than Clover. Even more of a mystery… why? This is the story of why and how this master of plants became the kind-hearted friend he is today. The group travels back to Biolocia to find a route to Cryia to talk to King Frostbite but accidentally fall into a sinkhole. With little way of getting out, the masters reveal their secrets to each other. They are about to find out… the secrets… of the clover in the field.
Part 1: Heading Home
The masters have just returned home from Geocita and have killed Ember in his secret hideout. Now they are at the port in Arbor city. “Ah, it’s so go to be home again.” Clover said. “You said it, but remember, we still have to get to the second port farther south to get to Cryia.” Iceberg said. “Oh, right.” Clover said.
“According to the map, we should go this way.” Earthquake said as she pointed down the east path. “Come on, we better sleep in an inn so we don’t have to travel in the dark.” Heat said. That night the group slept in the Palm Tree Inn, with the boys sharing one room and the girls another. Iceberg couldn't help but notice that Clover was having trouble sleeping. He kept kicking and turning in his bed as is he was having some type of disturbing nightmare.
“Something wrong Clover?” Iceberg asked. “Oh it’s nothing.” Clover said with a grin on his face. Iceberg wasn't so sure, but he was too tired to think about it, so he drifted off into sleep. He kept having the same dream, of playing in the snow with his friends. He was in the middle of the best part, a snowball fight (or at least what he thinks it would be like since he’d never seen snow), until the snow suddenly melted and he woke up to Gamma and Heat shaking him.
Part 2: The Runaway
“Iceberg wake up! Clover’s gone!” Gamma said. “What! Okay, okay I’m up!” Glacier said still half asleep. They got the others and raced downstairs only to find the door open and footprints leading outside. “Excuse me, ma'am, have you seen a little boy, about this tall, giant hat, clover symbol on his shirt?” Earthquake asked the lady at the front desk. “Oh yes, he just left five minutes ago, and it looked like he was headed for the jungle.” the woman replied.
“Thanks!” Earthquake replied. “Okay, maybe we can still find him!” Kite said. They all ran outside to find that the footprints changed from a human’s to a dragon’s, suggesting that Clover took dragon form. Then the footprints ended in the middle of the road. “He must have flown away! We got to find him!” Piranha said. “Can we at least have breakfast first?” Gamma asked.
Heat and Piranha both slapped him across the face. “How in the name of Cryia can you think about food when our friend is missing!” Iceberg said furiously. “Sorry but I’m hungry.” Gamma said. “Ugh, for the love of-” Piranha said. “Come on, we gotta find Clover.” Kite said as she held back Piranha from punching Gamma.
The group search everywhere but still couldn't find him. “Wait a minute. If Clover flew, then we should look up.” Iceberg said. “Oh sure genius that’s a great idea, it makes sooo much sense. Heat remarked. “Can you stop being sarcastic for five minutes!” Piranha said. “Wait, I think I see him!” Kite said as she pointed.
The rest of the group looked up to find Clover hiding in a tree with his eyes full of tears. He then climbed down and walked over to two gravestones. Just before any of the others could say anything there was a loud rumbling. “Uh, Gamma, was that your stomach, because I know you didn't eat anything this morning.” Iceberg asked nervously. “Wasn't me.” Gamma replied.
All of a sudden the ground beneath them collapsed into an enormous sinkhole. The group fell in the gaping hole. When they realized what had happened, they all panicked and tried to climb out. However the walls were too steep and they were too far down. “Guys, I think I know what to do-” Gamma said.
“SOMEONE COME HELP US!” he screamed. Heat, again, slapped some sense into him. “Can you all calm down, clearly there’s no way out, so we should wait for someone to come. After all, this is the busiest path in Biolocia, so someone is bound to show up.” Iceberg reassured them. “Well in the mean time I guess we should tell each other our secrets like in the movies.” Heat suggested. “I don’t like your tone Heat.” Earthquake said.
“Actually that time I wasn't being sarcastic.” Heat said. There was a long silence in the group. “Well…. okay then,.. I guess we should. Who wants to go first!” Kite said. “I think Clover should, since he’s got some explaining to do.” Piranha said will looking at him. Clover blushed, and began his story.
Part 3: The Secret
“It all started ten years ago, before I was chosen to be the master of plants.” he said. “My parents were Rose and Terradiem, and my four baby siblings were still newborns. However, everything was about to change. When Scorch heard that the Masters of the Prophecy were hiding in Biolocia, he set out to find them and their families. You guys were safely hidden underground, but Smoke found my family and I.
My parents wouldn't admit that I was the master of plants, so Scorch and a gang of Cryians took us to a secret underground prison nearby hear. I managed to escape with my younger siblings because we were small enough, but my parents weren't so lucky. My mom said to run and protect my siblings at all cost. I left that night with my baby brothers and sisters crying in my arms, as I watched my parents be burned alive by Scorch. I was traumatized for months, not talking to anyone and becoming an outcast.
That’s when I found Bouquet and Arbor, who took me and my siblings in and introduced me to Thunderbolt. For then on I swore to protect my siblings with my life. I studied hard in school so I could teach my own siblings. I fed them, taught them to read and write, and loved them more than anyone could ever love. They looked up to me, and I always had to be a good role model.
I taught them to be polite, to never steal or lie, and to stay truthful to themselves. In doing this, I too became so accustomed to it I became the nice person I am today. I named my siblings Sakura, Motley, Bloom, and Willow. When they were little they used to call me big-leaf because I used to shade them with giant leaves I found. And that’s basically the story of me guys.” he finished.
“Wow that’s sad.” Piranha said. They all gathered around Clover and hugged him. Heat even began to cry. “Heat are you crying?” Kite asked with a smile. “Uh, no. There was just a bug in my eye.” he said as he pulled himself together.
“Yay right.” Gamma said. Heat slapped him… again. Then there was the sound of footsteps, then a grappling hook with with rope was thrown down. The thrower was Sakura, and behind her were Willow, Motley, and Bloom. “Hey big brother, are you okay.” Sakura asked. “What the heck are you guys doing here?” Clover replied with a smile.
“We heard you guys were back in town, so we came to find you, but we didn't see you at the city.” Bloom said. “We were walking through the woods when we heard someone telling a story, and it turned out to be you!” Willow said. “So we went back to town to find rope to get you guys out of there.” Motley said. “Thanks guys.” Kite said. “You’re welcome!” they all said in unison.
They all got out, only for Gamma to race back to town for breakfast. “Should I go slap him again?” Heat asked. “Nah, I think he’s deserved it.” Clover said. “Well lets get moving to town so we can get to Cryia.” Iceberg said. “Okay, let me just say goodbye.” Clover said.
He walked over to his siblings. “Guys, I need you to be good while I’m gone, so be on your best behavior. That means you too Motley.” he said. “Fine-” Motley replied. “You’ll always be our big brother.” Sakura said. Clover smiled.. even more than he has before.
Book 5: A Kite in the Wind
Book 5: A Kite in the Wind
Prologue: The group is now in Cryian waters but have landed on the Evergreen Isles, a small archipelago in the Frozen Sea controlled by Aerocia. On one of those islands has a mysterious force that prevents Kite from flying. Can the group stop the mysterious force and help Kite fly again, or will she be flightless for the rest of her life?
Part 1: Stranded and Grounded
“Ugh, where the heck are we now!” Gamma complained. “According to Ammonite’s map, we’re on Blizzard Island in the Evergreen Isles.” Clover said. “There’s a port to the south that we can go to.” Iceberg said. “Yay, road trip! Even though we’re not in a car... or on a road.” Kite said. “Seriously?” Heat said.
“Fine.” Kite said. “I’ll just fly us across.” she said as s took dragon form. “Wait, you can carry all of us?” Clover asked. “Yep, I’ve been practicing.” Kite replied. “Are there any liability waivers in case of injury?” Heat asked. “Oh shut up Heat, can’t you just give her a chance?” Piranha said.
“Alright.” Heat said. They all hopped on Kite’s back while she struggled to get off the ground. “Kite, are you okay?” Iceberg asked. “Yeah, I’m just having trouble taking off.” she replied. She told them to get off but she still couldn't take off.
“That’s odd, we can still fly, but you can’t.” Gamma said as he flew easily in dragon form. “What’s going on? Why can’t I fly!” Kite said. “Calm down Kite I’m sure it’s alright.” Earthquake said. “Don’t you tell me to calm down, I’m an Aerocian, flying is my whole life!!” Kite said angrily as she turned blue from lack of oxygen. “Kite, please by all means be hysterical but don’t forget to breathe!!!” Piranha said as she patted Kite on the back.
“Alright, obviously Kite can’t fly, so we’ll have to carry on until we get to the port on the other side of the island where we can find a doctor.” Iceberg said. “Okay.” Kite said. The group walked along the beach instead of cutting through the thick evergreen forest that covered the island. They reached the port where the travel guy said that the reason Kite can’t fly is because there is a mysterious force on the island that prevents any Aerocian from flying, which is why no Aerocian ever comes here. “And if you don’t find the cure by sunset, you can never fly again.” the man said with an eerie voice.
“Can you excuse me a moment?” Kite asked as she walked around the corner. “NOOOOOOO!!!.” she screamed at the top of her lungs. “Kite, don’t worry, we’ll get that cure, I promise.” Clover said reassuringly. “And if we can’t, we can always build you a flying aid or something.” Gamma said. This time everyone took turns slapping him in alphabetical order.
Part 2: Over the River and Through the Woods
The man had said that the cure lies deep in the forest, where no one has ever gone before. The group took their chances and made their way through the dark thicket. “Aah! Snakes! Get them off me!” Gamma screamed. “Dude, they’re just vines and branches.” Heat said. “Uh, I knew that.” Gamma said trying to keep his pride.
They got to a small but fast flowing stream. They took turns hopping on stepping stones. All of a sudden Kite slipped and fell into the river where she got swept away. “Kite!” they all said as they rushed to get her. Clover magically grew a vine and tossed it into the stream.
“Grab on!” he yelled. Kite did as she was told and grabbed the vine. The group all pulled together and got her out of the stream. “Thanks but I’m soaking wet!” she said. “Should we build a fire and dry you off?” Earthquake asked. “No, let’s keep going.” she replied.
That wasn't the last time of bad events. They almost got crushed by a falling tree, got stung by bees, and had one or two bad encounters with a bear. Eventually though, they reached the heart of the forest. It was a rocky outcrop with sparkling water spewing out of its bowels. “Are you sure this is it?” Kite asked.
Part 3: The Wind’s Voice
“Of course, the travel guide said that there were no trees at the heart of the island, and there are no trees here.” Clover said. The group walked around when Kite began to hear a noise. It was one she had never heard before, but still beautiful. She knew it was singing, but didn't know who. There was also a harp playing with it, and the song went:
“O Beautiful birds that sing songs in trees
Heavenly angels that float in the breeze
They fly so high and far, but yet so near
They fly in the sky that is bright blue and clear
The wind blows in their feathers, that are lighter than air
You can see them in ones, flocks, or pairs
Some sing their songs from dusk to dawn
Some sing in forest, others on your lawn
Beautiful birds that sing in the trees
Heavenly angels that float in the breeze
O Heavenly angels that float in the breeze….”
Kite found herself walking to a hole in the rocky outcrop. “Hello, is anyone there?” she asked. Two glowing eyes shined in the darkness and a body of a dragon soon followed behind. The dragon transformed in a boy, around Kite’s age. “Hello, my name is Wind.” he said.
“Hi there, my name is Kite. I like your singing.” she said. Wind blushed and said “Thank you.”. He sounded just like her. Obviously more like a boy, but he had the same pitch in his voice. “Hey can you tell me where a cure for the island’s curse is?” she asked.
“Actually, I’m the one causing the curse.” he said as he put his head down. “What! Why?” Kite said. “Well it all started four years ago..” he said.
“I came to the island where I fell in love with the bizarre and beautiful birds that nest here, many of them existing nowhere else. However, other Aerocians came and hunted them for their feathers and meat. Since Aerocians don’t use guns or cannons since it is against our beliefs, people took dragon form and stabbed the birds in midair. Thousands of birds were slaughtered. I was disgusted by it, and decided to do something about it.
I learned magic and cast a spell over the island, preventing any and every Aerocian but me from flying, whether in dragon form or not. And ever since then, I’ve lived on the island protecting the birds.” he said.
“Please Wind, you have to lift the curse, or I can never fly again.” Kite said. “The the island became a national park and no one can hunt here anymore. And besides, I’m one of the masters of the prophecy.” she said. “Oh, sorry great master.” Wind said as he blushed and bowed. “It’s okay, but I need you to lift the curse.” she said. “You promise the birds will be safe?” he asked.
“I promise.” Kite said with her hand on her heart. “All right then.” Wind said. He took dragon form, flew into the air and sang with his harp:
“O great spirit of the wind I call to you now
In respect to you I say your name and bow
I’m grateful that the hunting of birds here is now ban
And so I plead that you lift the curse I’ve set upon this land…”
:and with one flap of his wings a gust of wind blew across the island (even the travel guide was thrown off his feet). Kite then took dragon form and flew into the air, happier, faster, and more graceful than ever before. She flew straight to Wind and hugged him so hard he almost popped.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!” she said as she constricted him like a python. “N-n-n-o… p-problem.” he said as he tried to free himself. Kite flew down to her friends more excited than ever. “Guys, guys, guys! I can fly again!” she said. “Great!” Piranha said as she hugged her friend.
Wind came flying down and they both took human form. “Ooo, and it looks like you met a boy too.” Piranha said as she elbowed Kite. “Shut up!” Kite said. “Kite’s got a boyfriend!” Gamma taunted. Kite slapped him, took dragon form, flew him into the air and dropped him only to catch him at the last second just before he hit the ground.
“Sorry.” Gamma said as he fainted. “Alright now let’s not get too excited, we still got to get to Cryia.” Iceberg reminded them. “Okay. Bye Wind thanks for everything.” Kite said as she kissed him on the forehead. Just before Gamma could taunt Kite raised her fist at him and he ran away. She laugh.
“When will he learn?” Heat said.
