Grand Showdown

Volume Zero

As time exceeds beyond humanity's initial expectations, only a few have survived the cataclysmic conditions of global warming, overpopulation, war, and insufferable judgements.

" Only those with a burning desire to fight for their lives stays above ground. " -Lt. Aka

Today, humans are deemed endangered from all cataclysm and phenomena, everyone is vulnerable to death. But overtime, humans were able to steadily reproduce and keep the population stable for a while. Genetically-engineered humans with supernatural abilities were fabricated by a plethora of test experiments that eventually lead to a groundbreaking discovery, thus four elemental humans were born.

Through numerous experimentation and life-and-death encounters, the four primordial elements manifested into physical being.

Phoebe's mental torment gifted her the ability to manipulate Fire.

Umi's nihilistic behavior evinced her the strength to control the flow of Water.

Livingstone donned the power of Earth.

And Charles Sydney obtained the element of Wind through a withered promise from his late wife.

They are a favor and a curse to mankind, in order to withstand natural disasters and grant a miniscule chance to restore humanity's former prosperity. Finally, these elementals met one another and eventually conceived new branches of elementals that uniquely surpasses the primordial elements.

As time went on, millions of new inhabitants established a society, and had a goal, to maintain balance and ensure the safety of everyone. But it lasted only for a few years, chaos eventually broke down, caused by none other than those who demanded leadership. Rebellions seeking domination and power-hungry individuals united as one, while the innocent people were forced to take action. Everyone settled with War, with each super-human equipped with their own unique element, everyone fought, thousands lost their lives during battle, some were able to uphold justice. But in the end, neither side felt victorious. The survivors dubbed it as The Purge.

The population was cut in half after the War, major cities were buried in craters from man-made explosions, some areas eroded and sunk below the surface, man-made volcanoes that spewed magma were also created by the power of Unity from the Lava elementals. Civilians remained traumatized from the loss of their family and friends. The world fell into ruin once more. But dozens of various elementals who fought for the country came into an agreement. In secret, they evacuated the country using a Ferry. Without a word to the public, they abandoned the City and drifted away, in search of an uninhabited Island to reestablish peace, prosperity, and the safety of their future. It's uncertain if they have any chance for survival, despite the world's constant ruination.

They roamed the seven seas nonstop, every single day, the passengers scouted for hilltops from afar, but none of them succeeded. Until one day, one of the Lava elementals lost his patience and devised an alternate Plan but in order for it to work, everyone in the ship has to cooperate.  With everyone on board, and in agreement. The Lava elemental went outside the Ferry and stood by the edge of the bow. " That area looks good enough. " He says, and called his brothers and sisters. They gathered at the bow, stood side by side and interlocked their hands together, they chanted their ultimate abilities, synchronizing with every syllable, only then a huge artificial mountain started ascending from the ocean, but it was not big enough because their powers were limited as a few. But an Earth elemental approached them and joined hands, the mountain grew larger every second, although not enough, more Elementals joined the chant, ranging from Nature to Ice. They held hands and as one, were successful in creating an artificial island, filled with natural landmarks such as Palm Trees, and Waterfalls. In their success, they boarded the Island where they lived for the rest of their lives. As time went on, more Elementals were born, everyday the adults would chant together, erecting more Peninsulas and expanding the mainland by elevating more ground. The Lava and Earth Elemental created an active volcano that rests miles away from the mainland, to help increase the resources for renewable energy, and to fertilize the soil nearby. Steel Elementals built a strong bridge under the sea to connect the Peninsulas together, while Earth Elementals would wrap the bridge using reinforced dirt. The society was reestablished, and the population grew stable.

Decades later, the Elementals were no more, as they continued merging with the Elements. It became far too specific due to new developments, "Talents" were born. Every human that lives on the Island now has their very own special talent, varying from Clairvoyance or the ability to foresee the future, to Seance or the ability to communicate with spirits. The Island eventually settled with a Leader that is fully committed in taking full responsibility of the people. The start of a civilization.
