Becky: Listen, I don't claim to know everything about elemental wielding, but I'll try to explain what your father told me. It's a forbidden mythical energy that was... well, illegally obtained, passed down through countless generations over millions of years.
Charisma: (puzzled) What do you mean by "illegally obtained"?
Becky: I was trying to be polite. What I really mean is... "stolen".
Charisma: Wait, what?!
Becky: See Elemental wielding originates from a mythical treasure known as the Universal Manifestations. Its origins-where it came from or how it was created-are shrouded in mystery.
Charisma: So, what you're saying is this treasure 'gave birth' to the elements?
Becky: (smirking) Now I see why your father adores you so much. You truly are brilliant.
Charisma: (giggling, joyful) Thanks, Mommy!
Becky: Anyway, as I was saying, most records about it have been erased or locked away. Some still hunt for the treasure, but whether it even exists is uncertain-it could just be a myth at this point.
Sara: (softly) Everyone, synchronize attack...
(Suddenly, Samantha gets yanked back by a massive ice hand appearing from thin air.)
Samantha: (frustrated) Oh, come ON! WHAT THE FU-
Samanthaa: (laughing) Calm down, idiot. You're not trying to get yourself killed, are you?
Samantha: (shy, while being dangled by the ice hand) Uh, of course not! I totally know what I'm doing...
Samanthaa: (rolling her eyes) Sure you do.
Samantha: (pouting) Stop patronizing me!
Samanthaa: (mocking, squeaky voice) Aw, did I hurt your little tiny feelings?
Samantha: (muttering) Shut up, okay?
(The rest of the crew surround the creature, readying their elemental techniques. Each points their palms forward and chants their attack name.)
Kizramomosuki: Netherite Form: Hands of Defense!
Sara: Lightning Form: Electrical Anarchy!
Lory: Teleportation Form: Planetary Catastrophe!
(Kizramomosuki manifests colossal black-metal arms, hurling them at the creature's back with incredible force. Sara launches a barrage of lightning strikes at its core, and Lory tears open portals above, releasing massive asteroids. The crew leaps clear as the combined assault slams into the creature. Causing a rumble across the land of Zaha, as it echos throughout the atmosphere. The surfaces tear open with numerous cracks forming, as the creature roars in agony, disintegrating into nothingness.)
Charisma: (amazed) WHOA! That... was.... incredible! Do it again!
(The trio reappears near Becky and Charisma, who are watching over the injured General from a safe distance.)
Kizramomosuki: (smirking) You liked that, huh?
Charisma: (jumping on his back, hugging him) LIKE it? I LOVED it! You guys were all like "whoosh", "kaboom", "kapow!"
Kizramomosuki: Right? I was like "wa-cha!" and "keeya!"
Becky: (laughing) You two really are two peas in a pod.
Kizramomosuki: (rolling his eyes) Obviously.
Becky: (playful) Yeah, whatever.
(Lory opens another portal, from which Aunty Samantha and Samantha step out. She tosses Samantha on the floor using her ice hand she menifested, as it resumes to disappear afterwards)
Samanthaa: (smirking) Now I see why you named this rascal after me.
Samantha: (shocked) Wait, Dad, you named me after "her"?!
Kizramomosuki: (looking away, pouting) Well... yeah. You reminded me of her, so I thought, why not?
Samantha: (whining) Daddyyy! Why?!
(Everyone bursts into laughter.)
Kizramomosuki: All right, enough joking around! Check the area for survivors. If you find any injured individuals, help them out. Got it?
Everyone: Roger that!
(Meanwhile, meters away from the rest of the crew, Timberlane walks alone as she thinks to herself.)
Timberlane: (staring back toward the crew) "Oh well, it looks like I wasn't needed after all." (She resumes her stroll, eyes fixed ahead.) "Let me see what I can find."
(She approaches a dark cave. Inside, treasure is scattered everywhere. As she ventures in, something catches her eye.)
Timberlane: (mischievously smirking) "Jackpot! Finally found you."
(She picks up a book with a worn, black cover that exudes an ancient aura.)
Timberlane: (still smirking as she opens it, speaking to herself) "Now this is more like it..... it's time I resume my training.
(A distance away from the cave, Kizramomosuki approaches General Kliptonite, injured on the ground. He extends a hand to help him up.)
Kizramomosuki: Long time no see, old friend.
Kliptonite: Indeed. I thought you'd given up on this whole "saving the multiverse" thing.
Kizramomosuki: (sighing) Some callings you just can't escape. That's what they always said, anyway.
Kliptonite: (dubious) Who's "they"?
Kizramomosuki: Uh... my ancestors, I guess?
Kliptonite: (sarcastic) Sure.
Kizramomosuki: (chuckling) Forget about me. What about you? What've you been up to?
Kliptonite: Nothing worth mentioning. And why am I even answering you? Screw you-get outta here.
Kizramomosuki: (laughing) Worth a shot...
[Meanwhile, in a hidden realm off from the multiverse...]
Grand Priestess: I welcome you, gods and goddesses, to this gathering. New intel has surfaced.
God of light: What kind of intel?
Grand Priestess: I believe I know how we can obtain the Universal Manifestations.
Goddess of Darkness: Stop stalling and spit it out!
Grand Priestess: It's simple... The Mazuki Clan.
To be continued...
