Elementals

Chapter 7 - Why do I have to be the one explaining this?

"You mean to tell me that one of the maids I took in was one of Drew's drones, who used her powers to infect my other maids with parasitic larvae that controlled them, and had this all planned out so that while I was out, she would carry this out and then proceed to try and infect me?" questioned an incredibly puzzled DDio. They were sitting on chairs that one of the few awake maids had brought them. DriDo was escorting the unconscious maids out of the room, including Bayla and Vaspina.

"Yep." a tired and nonchalant Aidan answered.

"But you found this out because you could... smell... her?"

"Mhm."

"So, the very day after I leave, you took care of all of it?"

"Yeah."

"He really did plan this all out." DDio said in defeat. "He nearly got me."

"Now that I get a good look at you." Aidan spoke while looking closely at DDio. "You look pretty banged up. The fuck happened?"

"Drew destroyed another reality. A gothic world full of the undead. It was quite a beautiful world, but he found out that an Undead Elemental-"

"There is no fuckin' way in hell there's an 'Undead' element." Aidan interrupted.

"Ah, now might be a good time to tell you this." DDio sat down on a piece of rubble. "Sit down, it's time for another lesson in elebiology"

"Elebiology? Elemental. Biology?" Aidan asked as he kicked another piece of rubble over and sat on it.

"Correct. You see, elements are very broad things. Fire itself doesn't just mean fire, it means the heat of everything. For example, I could remove all the heat from this room in an instant. I could even snuff out a star if I wanted to."

"So, let me guess, there's 'subelements' where an Elemental focuses on a certain aspect of their element over others?"

"Not exactly right. Elementals born with a subelement, as you called it, cannot use the rest of the element. Lori is an Elemental of Gravity. Gravity is a subelement of force, but she can't use the other parts of force, like momentum. On the other hand, the Night Hunter is an Elemental of Momentum, but cannot use other parts of force, like gravity."

"I see. So, where the hell does 'undead' fit into this?"

"I was just getting there. You now know that there are subelements, but what about mixtures? Two or more elements combined into one? That's where a dual-element comes in. A Dual-Elemental has access to two elements at once, and they combine into one element in their soul, making a dual-element. The undead element comes from the combination of life and death. Undead Elementals are incredibly strong and useful due to their immense capabilities. They could raise the dead, bring life to a barren world, or immediately end the life of anything they want. The strongest Elementals of Death are capable of instantly ending the life of another Elemental with a thought. It makes sense why Drew went after her."

"..." Aidan looked DDio in the eyes. "Got anythin' else I should know? Some other super versions of Elementals?"

"Crown Elementals."

"Of course you do."

"Crown Elementals are the strongest gods in an entire plane of existence, beating out even All-Gods."

"What the FUCK is an All-God?!" Aidan was getting annoyed at this point.

"Ah, sorry, it seems no one told you."

"Seems that they were expectin' you to tell me everythin'." Aidan responded.

"There are three All-Gods in a plane of existence. The All-God of Heaven, who rules over the omheaven, the resting place of dead gods. The All-God of Hell, who rules over the omnether, the eternal hell for gods. And finally, the All-God of Existence, the one who rules over the entire plane of existence, and is responsible for making sure everything is alright within."
