Spectrum

Chapter Four

After a moment, the radiant glow vanished, and in its place, the room was awash with a comforting white light, bathing the still figures of.
It was the room that Sable had pulled Diana in before.
Piper, Rusty, Stella, Emi, Robin, Nyx and Diana stood, all dressed in new and magical outfits, with Sable in her original form standing in front of them, clapping gleefully.
"Welcome to the Spectrum," Sable announced, her eyes sparkling with delight.
"Uh, what?" Stella asked, staring at her new attire in awe. Each outfit was a unique blend of colors, shimmering with an ethereal glow.
Piper and Rusty's outfits leaned more to the superhero genre, with tight bodysuits with decorative trims, while the others wore more puffy and feminine.
"Superheroes?" Nyx asked, scoffing. Diana shot a quizzical look at Sable, who simply smiled mysteriously and gestured to the mirrored walls around them.

Each wall lit up with a color, flashing a corresponding element.
Red, with a paw. The beast. Red light illuminated Piper, who wore a bodysuit with fur; reminiscent of red riding hood.
"With the power of the beast, Piper here is able to use her magic to shapeshift." Sable explained, gesturing to Piper, who looked embarrassed, covering her body with her hands.
"She can transform into any creature she so desires," Sable continued, her voice tinged with pride.
"Any creature?" Piper asked softly, as she squeezed her eyes closed. In a flash of red, she transformed into multiple animals in a short span of time. A wolf. A fox. A dog, and then a lion. Each form was coated in the dark red fur that was the same shade as Piper's coiled hair.
Finally, she shifted back to her human form, panting and disoriented as she steadied herself against the mirror. She looked down to her waist, where a red crystal hung from her belt like a keychain.
"This is where your powers come from, so always keep this crystal safe." Sable exclaimed, before she went to the mirror and tapped the screen.

The mirror flashed orange, the light swirling around Rusty.
Her outfit was an orange suit and tie, with the fabric shimmering like flames. A symbol of fire burned into the mirror.
"With the power of the blaze, Rusty here is able to manipulate fire." Sable said, as Rusty began shooting fireballs at the mirror, and moving a flame around her fingers.
"Careful!" Sable extinguished a flame that hovered too close to the other girls. The orange flame reflected on the mirror's surface, casting a warm glow on the girls' faces as they watched Rusty's fiery display.
"Cool." Rusty said, smirking, balling her fists up. Her knuckles were encased in flames, and she threw a punch towards the opposite wall, sending a stream of flames to scorch the wall, much to the shock of the others.
"I'll have to... teach you." Sable said, clearing her throat as the yellow light fell onto Stella.

Stella's eyes widened as a yellow aura enveloped her, radiating with an intense brightness. The light condensed into a luminous dress that shimmered like sunlight, and her hair seemed to flicker with golden sparks.
Her outfit was short, frilly and laced with various star themed decorations.
"You embody light." Sable proudly explained, a tornado of stars cascading down Stella's body. "You have power of the dream dimension and can freely manipulate light."
"Light manipulation?" Stella tilted her head, before her blue eyes landed on the light source in the room.
Smirking, she waved her hands around, catching the light with her fingers, causing the light to flicker through her fingers.
The light began to thicken, turning into a cloud-like substance, which began to shape shift into various objects.
"Ah, dreamweaving." Sable remarked, watching Stella with wide eyes. "You may need to practice with that."
"Practice?" Stella asked, waving the dust towards Nyx, who gazed at her with proud eyes.
"Eventually, you will be trained to be the sandman, well in this case, sandwoman." Sable explained.
"So like, I send people dreams?" Stella asked, her face lighting up.
"Precisely." Sable then faced Nyx, who was smirking down at her new outfit, before an indigo light cascaded over her. "And you, will be the Niterror."

Nyx looked up, her dark eyes speckled with confusion. Her outfit consisted of a black hooded cloak over an indigo dress. In her hands was an indigo scythe with a blade that looked like a dark galaxy.
"With light, must always come darkness." Sable said, calmly. "And those who are usually given this role normally have a crisis at the idea of plaguing such darkness in people-"
"Hold it right there." Nyx put her hand up at Sable. "I'm a girl who knows the balance."
"She's right!" Stella piped up.
"Good and evil exist in everyone. There's no such thing as pure darkness and pure light." Nyx said, gently reaching for Stella's hand. "And we both know-"
"Wait, don't touch hands-!" Sable shouted fast, using her hands to gently push the girls apart.
"Hey!" Stella whined, her fingers still outstretched for Nyx.
"Listen to me." Sable said, her yellow eyes darting between the two girlfriends.
"If you two touch, it may upset the balance." She said sternly, her face telling the truth. "I know you believe true darkness doesn't exist and stuff, but that is earth logic."
"But-" Nyx tried to interject.
"Trust me." Sable said. "I know this is a difficult situation, but hear me out."
Stella and Nyx stared at each other from the other side, before Sable moved to stand in front of Nyx, blocking Stella's view of her girlfriend.
