Welcome to the Flames! saga, a two-shot story where we look at what's going on with Bea and her uncontrollable fire powers, and how she gets rid of this problem.

===

Bea: *breathes* Okay, I can do this. Just do whatever Tristan told you to do. First, clear your mind... wait was that the first step or the second?

Angel: First.

Bea: Right, right... *breathes* Okay okay... clear your mind of every impure thoughts... think of nothing but the energy of your powers, let it all go... then once you've cleared your mind, focus yourself on gathering your energy... focus... focus... focuuuuuuusssss!!!

Princess: Is this really gonna work...?

MJ: *shrugs* I don't know.

Bea: Then finally... let it BURST!!!! *sets herself on fire* Not again! I was supposed to focus them on my fists! Not my whole body!!! *screams in agony*

Erica: Perhaps something went wrong with you clearing your mind, young one. Thy mind must be clear at all costs, after all.

Bea: That can't be! I didn't even think of anything at all! This is hopeless!!

Princess: *sighs* How are we supposed to be helped by you if you can't even control your own?

Mary: Now, now, be nice.

Angel: Hmm, maybe we can think up an alternative solution for you to be able to gain control of your powers?

Bea: No! I almost had it that time! Let me try again!

Hannah: S-she's having a p-pretty bad time...

Rhian: Hey Tristan, isn't there anything you can do?

Tristan: ...Let her be. She should learn about this all on her own. I'm only here to help her, and besides- *collapses unto sofa*

Rhian: Are you okay?!

Angel: She's having one of her moments again... I'll take care of her.

Rhian: A-are you sure? I mean, I can help you carry her into the infirmary or-

Angel: *glares at Rhian while smiling* I said I'll take good care of her.

Rhian and Hannah: *gulps*

Bea: *sets herself on fire* OH COME ON!!! What am I doing wrong?!

Erica: Calm down, young one. There is much more time for you to learn.

Bea: But I wanna learn NOW! The phone can ring at any moment!

Everyone else except Angel, Bea and Tristan: Phone?

That moment, the telephone rang.

Bea: Oh no.

Angel: Didn't you tell them we're still not ready?!

Bea: I'm pretty sure I did!

The telephone kept ringing.

Bea: Wake Tristan up! She'll know what to do!

Angel: *shakes Tristan* Wake up, come on!

Tristan: *groans* What the- *sees phone ringing* Tch. Sh*t. *goes to answer phone* Hello?

"Greetings. I've received news that you've already gathered the seven other elements. Shall I state your first mission?"

Tristan: Sadly, sir, I cannot allow you to do that

Tristan: Sadly, sir, I cannot allow you to do that. Some of our members still needs some help controlling their emotions along with their powers, and not all of us are mentally and physically prepared for battle. You may call us again soon, but I cannot guarantee anything. I'll report back to you as soon as I can.

 I'll report back to you as soon as I can

"Very well, Aqua. But I do hope that the next time I call, you are prepared for your first mission. The different worlds and its people are in need of your help, dear Elementals. Alright, that would be all. Have a good day."

Tristan: *hangs up* Problem solved, now let's get back to business.

Princess: Wait up, who the hell was that anyway?

Bea: That's the General. We were chosen to lead a group that has been torn apart for centuries, but in order to do so, we must find the remaining members, and that's you guys!

Angel: He's supposed to give us missions in order to save different worlds, dimensions and even time itself! But to do that, we have to fight, and our powers alone aren't enough, that's why we needed to reunite the whole team!

Tristan: We are the new generation of the former Elementals that's been doing their job fifty years ago. When everything was finally restored, they had to revert back to being mortals, and had their life spans extended according to their age. So to say that they were around 20 when they started fighting, several years later, they were still twenty, and when everything was back to normal, they had to live their lives normally as 20 year olds, up until now.

Hannah: Does... does that mean we'll be like them? A-and does that mean the former Elementals still lives up to this day?

Tristan: Yes, it may be the case.

Bea: Yep! You never know when they might even be around the corner!

Princess: T-Then... that means that by the time we finish fighting... mama and papa'll be of old age, soon to be d-dead... and I'm still living as a 15 year old kid... Tch! Everyone else we know and care about'll be gone by the time we finish! And we're wasting our precious time over here! It's your fault! Hurry up and just master it already!!!

Bea: I know that. That's why I want to master it. It'll be the fire who's bowing down to me! Just you wait! I will be able to control it, you'll see!!

To be continued...
