Chapter 4 - Training

3 months later

Pele sent out 3 huge fire balls toward Geb, Sedna and Kore. Geb brought the earth up from the ground be dry his feet to block the flame, it's splattered against it breaking apart into small flames. Senda sent out a stream of water from the top of her fingers, it swelled the ball of flame entirely extinguishing it. Kore concentrated and stopped the flaming ball in its tracks, she span it towards Pele. Pele could feel the heat of it and dogged fast knowing she couldn't control it, Kore had grown exceptionally powerful in such a short period of time. She's gone from level 2 to a high 3, not only could she create fire and lava but she seems to be stronger at it than even Pele. "Great work guys" Pele said with a smile, "guess I'm up against you both now" geb said eying Sedna and Kore excitedly. He placed his feet firmly and dragged a huge vine from the earth, it was huge, the size of a tree with the same thickness. He sent it right towards Kore, she just dogged it before it smashed the floor where she was standing. She sent out a a flame thrower style blaze but geb chuckled "sorry my dear but fire won't help you this time" he said while creating sand and forcing it to smother the flame, it was working. The once full bursting flam simmered down to a gentle heat, Kore refused to lose. She stuck her hands out and tried to burn it full blast, she felt a warm tingly feeling coming from her finger tips. She opened her eyes she had held so tightly closed but was shocked to see that it was not flames shooting out from her finger but lightning, shocked by what she had done the lightning stopped and in it's wake was the destroyed vine scattered around the floor. Geb stared open mouth and Pele came charging up and punched Kore in the arm joyfully "that was amazing! How did you do that!?" She asked amazed but Kore couldn't answer, she fell to her knees exhausted. She felt as though she just ran a marathon. Senda ushered her to a chair and handed her a drink, gasping it down Kore spoke "thanks sedna, I needed that" after catching her breath she told them the feeling she had felt "it's incredibly rare but fire elects can produce lightning, each element has is own specialty technique" Pele went on talking "like Sedna can freeze water" Geb jumped in "earth elements can control the blood flow in our enemy's but it's exhausting so hardly anyone can do it" "what's the wind power?" Kore asked "I think they can alter the air in your lungs but I'm not sure" Sedna said softly. Dark. Kore thought to herself, she told Senda and Geb to carry on. Pele sat up next to her giving her a wink while they watched on. Sedna created a pool of water that wrapped around her ready to be used however needed, Kore noted how she was more of a defensive fighter than an offensive fighter. Geb smashed the ground and sent a dozen flying rocks straight to Sedna, she twirled the water around her and created a whirlpool which caught all the rocks and filtered them back to the floor. This time Geb sent out 2 smaller vines, his goal was to catch Sedna legs and stop her moving. She created stepping stones and jumped up onto them avoiding the earth, the vine came and knocked her off the bubble of water she was stood on. Pele stood ready to catch her but Senda created more water and caught herself inside it, she then sent the water around Geb however she froze the water keeping him in place. It grew up encasing him to his neck, but he wasn't finished. He shook the ground making the ice crack enough for him to smash his way out, creating sand and forcing it towards Sedna. She once again brought the water up to her creating a veil protecting her from his attack, she broke the water off into frozen daggers and sent them flying towards him. He was kicked off balance, falling to the ground. Water wrapped around his legs and arms freezing" you win" Geb said exhaustedly, the frozen water melted away so he could sit up. Sedna pulled him to his feet "great job, I honestly didn't know what else to do" she said with a warm smile " you were amazing!" Pele jumped in looking at them both. "I mark that time to eat!" Kore said hoping they'd go to their favourite restaurant 'poppings'. After scoffing the most amazing burger, she hoovered down a chocolate brownie. Walking out into the crisp air Pele stretched out, "must admit, it's nice not cooking for others all the time" she patted her belly, Sedna giggled and grabbed her arm hugging into her. "You and your stomach, I do love you. Fool" she said "I love you too beautiful" Pele said kissing her.

A scream broke their peaceful evening "it came from that direction!" Pele shouted, they all ran towards it. A young woman was being taken by three masked assailants, Geb sent out vines to catch them. One of them sent out fire, the second person sent out vines to fight back at gebs. Unfortunately for the kidnapper Geb had been oaractacing with us for the last three months and completely dominated over the weaker vines. He pinned the guy to the floor, Pele and Sedna went for the fire element. The tallest of the three sent out a tornado. Wind element. Kore hadn't seen one before, she sent out a flame but it was engulfed in the wind. They fire started dying down, she pushed further but the wind was so strong. She tried the lightning but couldn't get the spark, she pushed everything she had. The flame turned blue and heated up significantly, the wind element looked fearful. He could feel the heat of her fire, he did everything he could to force it back with his winds but he wasn't expecting the lightning to spike off the fire. It smacked him into the wall knocking him unconscious "damn girl you fried his arse!" Pele shouted looking at the slightly frazzled guy sprawled out on the floor. "Thanks Pele, where's your guy?" Kore looked towards where they were fighting "Sedna froze his arse" Pele said laughing. Kore started laughing looking at the man stuck in a frozen blob, "Geb, you doing okay?" Kore asked walking over to him "yeah dear, got this guy tied up" he was struggling against gebs vines desperately but to no avail. The girl who screamed thanked them and ran off home. "What were you doing to the girl!" Kore said to the man in Gebs vines, "I'm saying nothing!" He grunted. "That's fine, my mrs here is a water element. Do you know they can freeze the water in your body?" Pele said pissed. He looked at Sedna and winced but didn't say anything,"I'll take a wiz first if that's okay?" Kore said stepping towards him reaching out. She closed her eyes bringing forth that tingling lightning to her tips and touched his face. He screamed out as his skin started to blister from the burns "feeling talkative yet?" He screamed out in pain once more before saying "we're collecting elements" he grunted " we already know that!" Pele shouted "all I know is my boss is working for some dark dude, he wants the elements for their powers but I don't know why. I swear!!" He cried out. "I think he's telling the truth" Sedna said, "where are you dropping them off to?" Kore asked. "To trunder, we are suppose to drop them off for collection" he squeaked. Kore released him "we need to go there" she said as they Nodded in agreement "I'm coming too" Geb Said edgily "I can't stand by letting this go on when I could help"

They set off to trunder
