"You do not have to do this!" Fire shouted at the elements the origanals created. Lightning spoke to roaring Fire as he was held in place by Dark.

"Calm yourself, we will never gain anything from just raging on." He said. That seemed to calm down Fire just a bit. Water walked forward and stopped in front of Stone. She was the only one who was bound with heat. "Why do want to imprison us? We have done nothing except care for the world."

Stone nearly boiled with anger. After all, Stone was a child of Fire and Earth. "No! You have not cared for the world, you have nearly destroyed it!" He pointed to the world which looked like it was burned and pounded. "You have done that!"

Ice stood up for her mother. "No, you did that! We were trying to protect it, not destroy it!" The room burst into argument as the elements shot out comments about the others.

"Silence!" A voice rang through the room, bouncing off the walls until it slowly died down. Wind stepped forward, looking menacing as he approached the younger elements. "Do you not know what you are doing?!?" He looked at all of the older elements, then turned back to the younger ones. "You are making an act of war. Stop this now and we shall go the way we used to."

Sound looked at her feet, then stared back at her fellow elements. "Maybe we should not do this." She whispered. Metal walked over to his cousin. "They overthrew their parents, now it's our turn. Do you not want this?" Sound looked back up to him. She sighed, then smiled at her cousin. "I'll do it." She looked at the only element that hasn't chosen a side yet.

"Nature," reluctantly, Nature raised it's head. The elements weren't really sure what gender Nature was. Nature was the newest element, and also the one to make the wisest decisions.

"Do you want to join us? It is our time to take what is ours." Stone was the one to speak those words, but he spoke them with caution. He knew if he didn't phrase that correctly Nature would choose the other side. Nature looked at him.

"With every right I have, I will join whoever is right." Nature looked at the older elements. "I will join the oldest of us, for the younger will never overthrow them. No matter what happens." Nature walked over to the older ones. Nature faced the younger elements. "If this is it to be fought by strategy, and mind, then so be it."

Now Stone was boiling with anger. "Fine! But know this: you will not be here again!" He waved his hand. The elder elements began to disappear in a white mist.

"What is happening?" Earth walked into the room, looking at her fellow elements.

"Pick a side: your siblings, or your children." Stone said. He didn't say anything about overthrowing to his mother. Earth looked at him worriedly. "Please son, tell me what is happening!"

"Pick a side!" Stone shouted. He trembled with both anger and fear. "Your children, or your siblings, mother."

Water was the one to speak up. "They want to overthrow us. They are sending us we know not where to get rid of us. Now, you can choose a side. Your children," She indicated her brothers. "Or your siblings."

Earth looked skeptical about choosing a side. Finally she straightened her back and regained her posture. She walked over to her son, who now looked in triumph. Earth slapped him across the face and joined her siblings, niece and nephew.

The rebeling elements waved their hands and the older elements vanished, being sent to Earth, the planet.

Interesting, right?

Well, the next one will be out soon. I bet your thinking,

Who are these people?

Why is a guy named Stone trying to take their place?

What the heck is going on here?

And, my classical favorite,

Are they going to eat anytime soon?

Well, lucky for me, I don't have those answers.
