## History

Before Gizzy's Arrival

King Alpha and his army, containing Barath, Elizabeth, Divine, Voice and Witch, fight together against a powerful demon threatening to destroy the Overworld. The battle is long fought, as the king and his army fight valiantly, but aren't able to kill The Demon. Eventually, The Demon severely injures Witch and attempts to finish him off, but King Alpha sacrifices himself and takes the hit, killing him. Upon his death, his body releases his powers and are split into four elements: fire, water, air and earth. These elements are gifted to four of the knights, where Barath is given fire, Elizabeth with water, Voice with air and Witch with earth. Empowered with the strength of the elements, along with Witch's magic, the four manage to end the battle by imprisoning The Demon within the gates known as the Prophecy by using four items, including the Air Element, which was later named Voice's Aura by Witch. After the battle, seeing as how they each have a quarter of Alpha's powers, the four knights decide to rule the universe like the king and become known as the Guardians. ("Origin", "The Green Bloods")

The Guardians manage to control their newfound powers with ease, except one: Barath the Fire Guardian. The fire element's revealed to have started burning him from the inside, creating uncontrollable rage and insufferable pain. While he's pacing back at the kingdom, trying to control the element. Elizabeth walks in and asks what he's doing. Barath to her his aching dilemma and tells her to go away. The Water Guardian tries to help him, but instead, Barath loses complete control and kills Elizabeth in rage, all while destroying the kingdom. Shortly after, Voice and Witch are shocked to find the castle in ruin and learn of Barath's actions. In order to protect anyone else from getting hurt, Voice executes Barath for treason and takes the two elements. The two decide to find replacements for the Fire and Water Guardian, where Voice decides to go to Letvia, and Witch decides to go to Inferno, both of which agree and take the elements upon themselves. ("Origin")

During Gizzy's Arrival

Learning of the one person who can end The Demon through a vision, Voice and Witch try to find this person who's in another universe. Using Aurona's special ability of teleporting to different universe, the trio arrive in another universe on a cruise, where they summon a tornado that sweeps the person back to their universe, along with Voice and Witch. Upon their return, the two Guardians realize that Aurona didn't make it back. They start arguing about the situation, while Witch's Right-Hand Man, Ratchet arrives to his master's side. In order for Voice to learn a lesson about using people as pawns in his plans, the sorcerer uses his magic to turn Voice literally into a voice, making his body disappear. As punishment for attacking another Guardian, Voice dethrones Witch from the Guardians, and gives the earth element to Ratchet. ("Origin")

Volume Two

After a series of events leading to Ratchet killing multiple innocent civilians and stealing from Voice's kingdom, Ratchet is put on trial by the other Guardians at Cloud Temple for his actions. During the trial, Ratchet reveals that he killed another civilian, this time being Witch's father, Gypsy. He tries to explain the whole situation, but fails to convince the others. Seeing as how he's been given too many chances, the Guardians decide to dethrone him. They strip him of his powers by taking away the earth element, leaving it in Voice's possession. ("Ratchet and the Ritual")

With there being no Earth Guardian, the ground of the Altered Universe starts to collapse and Voice must quickly find someone to replace Ratchet. ("Take Back Your Life")

King Alpha, resurrected by the touch of a power born, is convinced by Voice to become the next Earth Guardian. Summoning Inferno and Letvia for the occasion, the Guardians host a ceremony at Cloud Temple for Alpha's crowning as the new Earth Guardian. The rite is successfully completed as Alpha is given the Earth Element, becoming a Guardian and abandoning his mantle as king. ("Passage of the Earth")

Volume Three

After learning Gizzy has obtained three Prophecy items, Voice goes into hiding at the Broken Church to keep the last item, his aura, safe and away from Gizzy. With Rascal's help, Gizzy, along with Divine, find Voice and convince to join them to defeat the Demon instead of having to kill him. Although he was the one who brought him to Altered, Voice isn't sure he's ready to unlock the Prophecy. No longer wanting to open the Prophecy either, Gizzy relinquishes his items to Voice, but suddenly, Witch arrives to force Gizzy to kill him. Seeing no other option, Witch injures Divine, triggering Gizzy's split personality. In the heat of the moment, Gizzy knocks Divine out. Meanwhile, Inferno arrives at the church to obtain Voice's Aura himself. Planning to frame Gizzy for the murder, Inferno kills Voice, and while Witch sees the killing happen, the sorcerer decides to keep it a secret. Upon the Air Guardian's death, his corpse drops all four Prophecy items, including his aura. Once Gizzy reverts back to his normal self, he realizes what happened to Voice, and suggests that it might've been himself that killed him. Needing the items, Gizzy mananges to picks up the objects and escape the church with Divine. Although inadvertently, by obtaining Voice's Aura, Gizzy became the Air Guardian since Voice's Aura is also the Air Element. ("Hear My Voice", "The Green Bloods", "The Final Betrayal")

Having promised Witch the position of the Air Guardian by Alpha, the Guardians, accompanied by Rascal, arrive at Cloud Temple, with Witch already there, to host the ceremony for the new Guardian. Once the ritual is ready, Alpha grants Witch the Air Element, but soon enough, Witch realizes that nothing happened. The Earth Guardian explains that as Ratchet presumed, when Gizzy picked up Voice's Aura, Gizzy inadvertently became the Air Guardian since the aura is also the element. Angered by the Guardians' deception, Witch casts a spell to imprison Alpha and Letvia within a Lucky Block cage to dampen their powers. The magician quickly reveals that although he was the one to bring Gizzy into the Altered Universe, it was not the whole plan, as he intended to become the new king of Altered by teaming with the Demon, but to do so, he must first obtain one of the elements. Lifting Rascal with magic, Witch threatens Letvia to relinquish the Water Element to him, or else Rascal we'll be thrown into the void. Unable to have the blood on her hands, Letvia gives the element to Witch, making him the new Water Guardian. Still, Witch sends Rascal flying into the deep abyss as penance for the Guardians tricking him before. As for Inferno, who's been patiently watching the events unfold, he's begged by the prisoners to help them, but Witch argues that the Fire Guardian would rather want to liberate his father. As comfirmation of which side he's on, Inferno reveals that it was not Gizzy who killed Voice at the Broken Church, it was the Nether Champion. ("The Final Betrayal")

## Types of Elements

### Air Element

The air element ressembles a wind gust curling in a shape of a circle. It was dropped by King Alpha's corpse and selected Voice to protect it, making him the Air Guardian. If there's no Air Guardian, meaning no one's wielding the air element, the universe will suffer storms breaking out while the air starts to dissolve.

### Earth Element

The earth element ressembles a circular piece of dirt with green crack all around it. It was dropped by King Alpha's corpse and selected Witch to protect it, making him the Earth Guardian. Witch was dethroned from the Guardians and stripped of his element when he committed treason for disemboding Voice. The element was later passed on to Ratchet. After Ratchet had been the reason of the death of multiple innocent inhabitants of Altered, Ratchet was also dethroned. It was then given to King Alpha who was resurrected. The earth element seems to be capable of changing the physical appearance of someone, as it altered Alpha's appearance, but didn't change Witch or Ratchet's. This may also be a sign of the process of Alpha regaining his powers and turning back to his former kingly self. If there's no Earth Guardian, meaning no one's wielding the earth element, the ground of the universe will start to collapse.

### Fire Element

The fire element ressembles a spark of fire being lit. It was dropped by King Alpha's corpse and selected Barath to protect it, making him the Fire Guardian. After fusing with the element, his body suddenly turns red and becomes extremely angry. The fire element seems to be the most powerful of the elements as it is very difficult to control and can bring pain upon those who do not wield it properly. The rage it creates can bring the wielder to kill someone, even another Guardian. There are very few people who can control its power, like Inferno who's the current Fire Guardian because he's the Nether Champion. If there's no Fire Guardian, meaning no one's wielding the fire element, fires will break out all over the universe.

### Water Element

The water element ressembles a large rain drop. It was dropped by King Alpha's corpse and selected Elizabeth to protect it, making her the Water Guardian. The element was later passed on to Letvia when Elizabeth was killed by Barath in rage. If there's no Water Guardian, meaning no one's wielding the water element, the water of the universe will become poisonous.
