Elemental: Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Crystal

"Next stop, Element City!"

Kia Gemstone stared at the window as she looked at the city beyond the horizon. She was moving in from another town called Crystaltopia and she is starting a new life in the town. She was nervous about going into the big city because she wanted to see what kind of elements they have. Her homeland doesn't have any trees, crystal shaped water, luminescent light crystals, and often lives with the other residents.

This is her first time moving since Element City is home to Air, Water, and Earth. The only ones who are not welcomed here are Fire and Crystal. First, Fire often burns branches, makes water boil and smoke would billow out. Second, there is no information about Crystal Elements, which is like Kia and her family.

She was nervous to start her day, find an apartment, get a job, and make money so she could save up.

Looking past, she saw someone searching for something. She was wearing a black dress with a hood covering her head. Confused, Kia began to follow her as she started to follow. Before her eyes, the girl melted the glass and slipped out of the window. Shocked, the crystal element started to head into the second train car, and by the time she got there, it was already pitch black.

She couldn't see where she was but she could feel that her body was orange. That was when the train burst out of the tunnel. As light flooded back the train car. Kia turned and saw the young woman touch her. That caused her to yelp in surprise and began to drop her headphones she had listened to. She began to reach to get it only to be touched by the young woman who made her wince.

"Sorry," she answered.

Kia looked at her eyes as the orange glow formed on the face. Something is strange about this Element. It glowed like an amazing lovely flame on a candlestick.

"What are you?" Kia asked her. "I never seen any Element like this before."

She began to introduce herself. "I'm Ember."

"I have never seen an element in my town before," she said as she stood up as soon as the train lurched. "What is going on?" Kia asked her. "Why are you in a hurry?"

"This water guy is trying to close my shop," she glared, "And I had to stop him."

"Well, let me help," Kia insisted.

"No way," she refused. "I would burn you."

"I am made of Crystal," Kia said. "So fire won't affect me. Except Water that is. It makes my skin crack if I stay in there for a few hours.."

Ember began to think about it. This new element seemed to be a little nice and brand new to her. She never heard that the Crystal Elements are not from here but maybe she could trust her. She motioned her to come along. Excited, Kia started to grab her luggage and started to follow. Pushing through the crowd to allow the fire woman to get past, Kia spotted a water element at the end of the train, his back turned. He held a thick stack of tickets, the one that could shut down the ship.

"I'll get it," she said. Kia began to preach over but when the light rippled around the water guy's arm, he panicked.

The element whirled around and whipped the rickets away from Kia and Ember and raced out of the train car.

"Oh, man!" Kia moaned. "He ran off!" She started to climb out of the train car and started to go after him.

Ember exited too, dodging passengers boarding the train and apologizing along the way.

The water guy streamed easily down the crowded stairs, but Ember struggled to follow. As she tried to hurry, she collided with other passengers. She called out again, but Wade was too far away. Kia began to run down the stairs and onto the slide tube where Air elements are exiting out of. She reached the street at the same time as an Air Element, who floated into the path of a passing car.
