The Four Elements

Element 30

/Hunter/

Pakiusap, gabayan niyo nawa ako. Ayoko pang ma-evict sa mundong ibabaw.

Oo, seryoso, ayan talaga ang iniisip ko. Kahit sabihin pa nating lalake ako at medyo mas malakas ang mga lalake sa mga babae, masasabi kong hindi ko malalamangan ang kalakasan niya. Bukod sa isa siyang royalty, kumpleto din niya ang Four Elements.

Natumba naman ako bigla. Dapat magfocus ako! Nasipa na pala niya ang binti ko! Tae, ang sakit tatayo na sana ako para lumaban sa kanya pero nasuntok niya ako kaya napaupo akong muli. Babae ba talaga 'to?! Bakit anlakas niyang sumuntok?!

Pero kailangan kong lumaban, para naman mapatunayan ko na kaya ko siya. Na hindi ko sila mapapahiya sa oras na maging miyembro nila ako. I'm willing to give anything I can just to surpass this test.

Tumayo naman ako tapos akmang susuntukin niya ako uli ng gumawa ako ng water blades at nasugatan ang kamao niya. I even saw her smirk when I did that.

Sumugod uli siya sakin pero gumawa ako ng panangga na gawa sa tubig. Napaatras naman ako sa lakas ng tulak niya sakin pero hindi naman ako natutumba. Ngumisi ulit siya tapos pumikit. Naramdaman ko na naging matigas bigla ang tubig na ginawa kong panangga, naging yelo ito.

Paano niya nagawa 'yun? Ngumisi lang siya tapos naging yelo na?

/Greya/

I almost laugh at his expression when I turned his water shield into solid ice. He is so amused and when I tried reading his mind, I was just trying not to let them see me laugh so I just smirked again.

'Ngumisi lang siya tapos naging yelo na?' That's what he said in his mind. Imagine that? If they're not here around me, I might laugh my ass off.

Ever wonder how I did that? If you think that's why it turned ice because of my ice element, well to tell you, you are definitely wrong. Using my wind element, I turned the water's temperature into -15 celcius so that's why it turned into solidified ice. Got it? I learned these things when I'm training myself. Yeah, hindi pa sinabi ni ate na magtraining kami, I was secretly training myself. I even practiced how to make swirls, tornadoes and some air attacks. I also discovered I had this eagle that is connected to my wind element. For fire, well, I just discovered I have a phoenix. Ice? It's connected between wind and water so there is no power auras. For water, I have this water dragon but I still can't control it since he is naughty and doesn't obey what I say.

But I must say I am impressed when he throw me those water blades when I'm in the verge of punching him. Cool attack but needs more improvement.

He tried punching me but I was just running else where. I don't use my teleportation since I haven't worked it out well and I might faint. I don't want to be anybody's burden.

I surrounded a fire around us which made the others step back. I also heard my sister's voice sayin, "Is she really serious in this fight?" But I want to ask you, when am I not serious about what I'm doing?

I put more oxygen to make my fire grew higher. I heard his gasped and he was trying to get rid of the fire around us using his water but it was no use. The fire was too big and he haven't discover his weapon of ability yet.

But he didn't even bother to stop, I saw his eyes were burning with desire. A desire that he wants to prove us that he is worthy to be our member and with that, I know that he is the one.

No, don't get me wrong. What I mean is my parents are right, he is the one that who could help us win between those evils from Dark District. I'm sure destiny or fate brought us here but whatever it is, I'm sure the game is starting to get nice.

I used my wind element to speed up and when I reach his back, I hit his back hard using my arms. Damn, it hurts too. Because of what I did, it made him kneel on the ground. I know he is tired and the fire was taking up the oxygen. He is out of breath and he is breathing rapidly. It's because we are surrounded of fire and the fire is using the oxygen which is for us.

He suddenly roared and screamed. Hmm, he is upgrading and I knew this would happen. Ready for the next level of yours, Hunter.

/Hunter/

Putspa, ano 'to?! Nawawalan ako ng hininga tapos sumasakit na yung katawan ko. Pakiramdam ko din luluwa na yung mga mata ko. Ansakit din ng ulo ko! Pero nakangisi padin si Greya, demonyo ba siya? Natutuwa pa siya sa lagay ko?

"Don't be dumb, Hunter. You're upgrading that's why it's normal for us to feel that pain. We passed that painful upgrading, too." sabi niya tapos umiiling-iling pa. Upgrading? Nagu-upgrade na ako? Normal lang na itong nararamdaman ko? Pero pucha, ansakit talaga!

Sigaw lang ako ng sigaw dun at medyo lumamig na ang paligid. Iwinala na niya pala yung apoy na nakapalibot samin kanina.

"G-Greya? Anong nangyari?" sabi ni Xyper kay Greya.

"Don't bother him, he's upgrading." cold na sabi niya kay Xyper tapos nilampasan na niya ito. Pero nung palakad na sana siya, bigla siyang humarap sakin at may kung anong itinutok sakin na dahilan upang tuluyan akong matuma. Nagdilim na ang paningin ko.

/Greya/

I stop the fire ring I made the earlier in order for him to breathe. I know he is running out of air and I still have mercy for him.

But then I suddenly felt an unexplainable feeling, and I know it was evilish. I concentrated and I felt that evil aura was from Hunter. A devil shadow is fighting inside him and the good side is pushed out. Damn, I need to stop this!

"G-Greya? Anong nangyayari?" Xyper asked me. I looked at him coldly and sighed.

"Don't bother him, he's upgrading." I stated coldly. I was about to take a step when I felt that the devil shadow was about to eat him up. I turned around and shot my air balls at him which made him fell into the ground and lose his concious.

I walk towards him and carry him using my wind element. They run towards our direction and my sister faced me with an angry face.

"Bakit mo ginawa 'yun, Greya?! He was upgrading then you suddenly postponed it?! What kind of Leader are you?! Alam kong bago pa siya pero hindi mo sana siya ginanun!" she screamed angrily. I suddenly have the guts to slap her face. She looked at me with her eyes saying "She's unbelievable."

"You don't shout like that on me. I may not be that good but I care for everyone around me. If I haven't done that, Hunter would be eaten up by an evil." I coldly stated. Ha! She's the one who's unbelievable. I can't believe she can say those things without even asking me properly! She's a royalty yet she's acting like an immature brat who only cares for herself!

"I traced a devil shadow inside him playing with his good side. He isn't upgrading, that pain was different from ours when we upgraded. That evil aura is from the Dark District whose been spying here. I know he already escaped the moment I shot him with my air balls and all I need is to find that stupid devil." they all nodded while my sister is looking at his foot. And I know she's crying.

I started walking into another direction when I felt Tredle and Freeze was about to follow me.

"I'll be back, don't you follow me or else I'll burn you into ashes." I said and then continued walking.

I need to find that devil shadow and if I'll caught him, I'll make sure he'll beg for his life.

/Hunter/

"Hunter..." lumingon ako sa pinanggagalingan ng boses at nakita ko naman sila. Hindi sila nagpapakilala sakin pero may espesyal akong nararamdaman tuwing nakikita ko sila. Alam kong nananaginip na naman ako.

"Ano po 'yun?" pagtatanong ko. Ngumiti naman sila sa akin.

"Naalala mo ba na may itinutok na kung ano si Greya sayo?" tanong nung lalake sakin na kasing edad ata ng papa ko. Patay na ang papa ko, namatay siya dahil din sa mga taga-Dark District. Lahat kami, pinatay ng Dark District ang mga mahal namin sa buhay.

"Opo." sagot ko. Ngumiti naman siya. Dalawang tao sila, isang babae at isang lalake. Sila din ang nagbigay ng misyon ko na dapat sumangguni ako sa Future Element Leaders.

"May devil shadow na tumutugis sayo, at yun ang pinaputukan niya ng air ball niya. Naramdaman niyang hindi dahil sa pagu-upgrade mo ang dahilan ng pananakit ng buong katawan mo, dahil pala dun." tumango naman ako. Akala ko may galit siya sakin kaya niya ginawa 'yun, eh.

"Ang kapatid mo na si Xyper ang tutulong kay Greya sa pagpuksa sa devil shadow." tumango ulit ako.

"Bago ka magising, pakisabi kay Greya at Rhailen na miss na namin sila." sabi nung lalake. Naguluhan naman ako, kilala ba sila nila Greya at Miss Rhailen?

"Anak namin sila." at pagkasabi nun nung babae ay bigla na silang naglaho sa paningin ko.

Nagising naman ako nung may maramdaman ako sa may ulo ko. May face towel na basa sa may noo ko tapos may kung anong nakalagay sa katawan ko. Tatayo na sana ako ng biglang kumirot yung mga sugat ko. Hindi ko padin pala naimumulat ang mga mata ko.

Dahan-dahan kong iminulat ang mga mata ko at pinikit-sara ko pa ito ng ilang beses bago naging maayos ang paningin ko.

"Ayos ka lang ba?" isang babaeng nag-aalala ang sumalubong sa akin. Grabe, si Freeze pala iyon. Bigla namang bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko. Putspa, ano 'to? Siguro dahil sa magkamukhang-magkamukha sila ni Snow kaya ganito. Tama, ganun nga lang.

"Kamusta ka na? Anong nararamdaman mo? Tungkol sa ginawa ni Greya sayo--" inilagay ko naman ang daliri ko sa may labi niya. 'Yung parang pinapatahimik ko siya? Ganun. Ewan ko kung anong sumapi sakin eh ambading nga nitong ginagawa ko.

"Okay lang ako at tungkol kay Greya, alam ko na ang lahat." sabi ko sa kanya tapos ngumiti pa ako. Nakita ko naman kung paano nag-iba ang ekspresyon ng mukha niya. Biglang pumula ang mukha niya at ang cute niya tignan.

"P-Pero pano mo na-nalaman?" sabi niya tapos huminga pa siya nang malalim. Muntik na nga akong matawa sa kanya eh, pero pinigilan ko lang. Masabihan pa akong baliw nito kasi bigla nalang akong tumatawa.

"Napanaginipan ko .. yung mga magulang nila Greya." sabi ko sa kanya. Bumalik na sa normal ang mukha niya tapos hinawakan ang dalawang kamay ko na ikinabigla ko.

"M-May iba ba silang kasama? Huh? Huh?" tanong niya na parang maiiyak siya. Umiling naman ako. Binitawan na niya ang kamay ko tapos nagpaalam na magpapahangin raw muna siya. Ano kayang nangyari dun? Hindi ko manlang natanong kasi pagkapaalam niya, tumakbo agad papalabas. Baka umiyak na yun? Hala. Wala naman akong ginawa sa kanya ah? Umiling nga lang ako, eh.

"Hoy!" halos mapatalon ako sa gulat dahil sa pagsigaw na 'yun. Pagkalingon ko, si Miruh lang pala. Takteng bata 'to, ginulat ba naman ako?

"Anong kailangan mo?!"

"Oh, easy ka lang. Wag mong sabihing crush mo si Vice President?" sabi niya. Vice President? Sino 'yun? Teka, si Freeze ba tinutukoy niya?

"Hindi ah! Hindi ko-- Wala akong gusto kay Freeze!" pagde-deny ko na ikinatawa niya. Anong nakakatawa dun? Baliw na ata 'tong batang 'to.

"Wala naman akong sinabi na si Freeze ang tinutukoy ko pero siya ang lumabas sa bibig mo. Hahaha!" sabi niya. Oo nga, 'no?

"T-Tinawag mo kaya siya nang ganun k-kanina!" pagdadahilan ko. Sana makalusot.

"Ganun ba?"pagtatanong niya. Tumango naman ako. Mukhang naniniwala na siya. "Lokohin mo lelang mo! Hindi ko siya tinawag ng ganun! Hahaha! Paalam!" sigaw niya. Takte, hindi pala naniwala! At hindi niya raw tinawag ng ganun si Freeze kanina!

Magsasalita pa sana ako pero bigla nang nawala si Miruh sa tabi ko. Ginamit na naman niya ang wind element niya. Kaasar!

Ano na kayang nangyari kay Greya?

/Greya/

I have this feeling that I was followed but everytime I look back, I see nothing but trees. Whoever she or he was, she or he is good at hiding huh? But I swear I'll caught him/her.

I run fast and used my wind element to speed up and I know she/he is running fast to catch me up so I grab the oppurtunity and looked back.

And he turned his back, too! He was about to run when I speed up and held his shirt. It was no other than Xyper.

"Hehe, hi?" he said while scratching his neck.

"I told you not to follow me, right?" I coldly asked which is purely a statement. He nodded then I smirked. A naughty idea came up in my mind.

"Then why are you here? Are you going to do something naughty?" I said playfully and my smirk grew bigger and evilish. I saw him gulped and I know he was nervous.

That's what you've got for following me.
