Recently
on Fires of the sky, the El Monte students returned to Earth only to find it
still frozen. As they return to Arkon’s Magic, the six main students, Matt,
Yessenia, Jaime, Alex, Venus, and Winny all enter a bridge that leads them to
the Elemental Challenges! Without further delay, they were forced to attend as
the six members for the challenges, but are they ready? After finishing the
first match, the El Monte students find that they have humiliatingly lost
against all the other four schools. Even worse, one of the members of El Monte
seemed to have mysteriously run away with Benny, a member from Rosemead. What
does this all mean?
Episode 222 – Vanishing Students, Rosemead Infiltrates
El Monte
“Who’s there?!” Shirley exclaimed.
She looked up into the sky and her friends did so as well.
“One of the Elemental Guardians. We
have spoken from a caller by the government that there has been some
interference in the challenges.” The voice answered. The students were utterly
shocked. “In an attempt to not interfere with the challenges even further, we
have made it so that only you students can hear us.”
Van and Maggie hugged each other.
Jon said to the guardian, “What are you planning to do?”
“We shall not let you escape this
one.”
“What does that mean?” Jenny had her
hands over her chest which indicated her fear.
A large lightning appeared above all
of the interfering students. Van, Maggie, and Jenny screamed as loud as
possible. Shirley knelt down. “What the heck was that for?!”
“As a member of the Elemental users,
you shall not disobey the rules of the Elemental Challenges especially even
knowing the consequences.” A large aura appeared over each student.
Emmy was shaking in fear. “Oh my
gosh… This cannot be happening. Please, if you can listen to me, don’t do this!
Don’t hurt them!”
“We will not hurt these students any
further. We have an interesting incentive for the El Monte students. As you may
know, they are in last place and it seems they are not playing at their best.”
The voice continued speaking, “As a matter of fact, the El Monte students in
the game right now are glitching due to the excess amount of participants
playing in this challenge.”
Shirley screamed at the voice,
“Fine! If it means protecting our friends from losing the challenges, take us
away. I don’t care.”
“Oh we will. We’ll also let your
friends know about this. As for Emmy, she is joining along as well.”
“What?! Why me?” Emmy panicked. “I’m
a part of the challenges!”
“For conversing with the intruders,
you shall be imprisoned along with these students as well. Luckily for your
school, the next match will just have to exclude you. This may be a problem
though. I sense seven El Monte students still in the challenges aside from you
five. I will have to look into this further.”
Shirley thought in her mind, “Crap!
Michael is one of them. Then… who is the other?”

Winny crossed by a tiny little frog.
“Oh, how cute! What’s a frog doing at a place like this?” The frog headed for
the sidewalk. “Oh, oh! Stop right there, little cutie!” She then turned to her
Changmin ball, “Don’t worry, I’m not leaving you. That froggy will be our
little boy, or pet if you want.”
The frog suddenly made a poof and
smoke appeared. It turned one foot larger and then it squealed at her, “You
leave me alone! I’m not just some little frog!” It used its legs to run.
“What? You’re even cuter! COME BACK
HERE, THING!!”
“It’s ‘Pochi’, weird girl!! Go
away!!”
Winny grabbed onto the frog and then
she squished it against her cheeks. “What a cute froggy!!! Oh my gosh, you’re
going to be our son. Is that okay?”
The frog bounced out of her arms and
then it tackled her face. Winny was almost knocked over. “Take that, weirdo!”
Winny felt her cheeks. “Did you
just… Did you just…?!”
“Haha! Mad already? That’s what
happens when you mess with a little frog like me!”
Winny closed her eyes. “Ergh… I
can’t believe it… A cute little frog tried to attack me!! That’s so cute!!!
Come here!” She began chasing after Pochi.
“WHAT?! But why?!” Pochi began
running away, crying.
Winny and Pochi headed down long
hallways and alleys. After several minutes, they ended up at a park, and then a
lake, and even over bridges. It took about ten minutes of running. Pochi
stopped on top of a bridge. “Why do you keep chasing me?! This is not cool!!”
Pochi opened its mouth and out came a large bubble that flew towards Winny.
“Bubble magic? What does that do?”
Winny only stood still. The bubble surrounded her and she was unable to move.
“Oh no! I can’t get out!”
“Hah! Gotcha! Time to run. Bye bye!”
Pochi began running away while Winny tried to follow, but the bubble only
stayed in one place.
“Ermph! Dang it…” She frowned.
~~~
Matt headed for the next student that
he would find. Johan and Ghoul appeared in front of him. Matt took a step back.
“Oh crap. Where did you guys come from?”
Ghoul yawned. “Mwah… We were hiding
in a tree until someone came by.”
“And look what we have here, an El
Monte student. Could you be hiding our key?”
Matt gasped. “What? I don’t know
what you’re talking about. Bye!”
Ghoul threw a drone at him. Matt
exploded it with his fireball, but flames stayed around his body. Johan became
confused. “That is some weird fire move.”
Matt made Nix appear again. “Can you
fight?”
Nix
said slowly, “Not really… I am really tired for some reason. I’m sorry, giant
man…”
Matt
clenched his fists. “Damn. What’s going on?” He decided to create another
Vermillion attack towards two of them, but a voice was heard from above. “I
found one of the participants of El Monte!”
Matt’s Vermillion vanished. Johan
stared at Matt with a blank expression. “Are you trolling us or something?”
“Matthew Tran, so it seems you have
been cheating this whole time, haven’t you?” said the voice.
Matt said to the sky, “Who are you?
What are you talking about, ‘cheating’?!”
“That soul partner of yours counts
as an extra member. And from the beginning, you had seven participants because
of him. One extra participant may not affect your powers, but as more keep
appearing, you will become defective. In order to stop this, I must take Nix
away.” The voice stopped and the three students were silent. “But it seems I
cannot just take your spirit animal away by itself. I will have to disqualify you instead.” A large lightning appeared
above Matt.
“ERGH!!!!! You didn’t need to do
that!”
“That was to weaken you in case you
tried to escape. Matt, you are out of the challenges.” A large aura appeared
all around Matt and then he suddenly vanished. The South El Monte key was
dropped and left on the floor.
Ghoul’s mouth was gaped open. “What
just happened? Who was that? Where did he go?! Mwah!”
Johan headed for the key. “Who
cares. That idiot didn’t even bother to fight back. But look at this, the South
El Monte key, hehe.”
Ghoul took a look at the key which
Johan was holding now. “Mwah. It’s so beautiful. Shall we head back?” Johan
agreed with him.
~~~
After over thirty minutes, the
telescreen rang and South El Monte was first in its victory. Alex, Jaime,
Yessenia, and Winny were in awe. They could not believe that a school could
finish a mission so easily. This victory gives South El Monte the highest
possible score so far: 10.
Sammy arrived at El Monte. Jaime
noticed that she was wandering off on her own. “Isn’t that the girl that Matt
was talking about? ‘Sammy’, was her name?” He then remembered Benny’s story
between Sammy and Venus. “Wait, that’s her!” He thought to himself.
Sammy closed her eyes. “You can come
out now.”
Jaime appeared from his shadow. “How
did you know I was here?”
Sammy shrugged. “I have the ability
to foretell what goes on. For example, I can see you fighting another boy right
here at this very spot pretty soon.”
Jaime laughed. “So, you’re the girl
who left after finding out about Matt and Shirley’s powers, huh?”
“What if I am? I never told anyone
since, heh. I kept my promise. You must be Matt’s friend. Nice to meet you, I’m
Sammy.”
“I know that. You are the girl who
spoke to Venus since the time you left and now, right?”
“Oh? You know Venus on a personal
level? Wait, don’t tell me. I already foretold you saying ‘yes’ to that
question.”
“How ironic. The girl who had to be
told if someone has fire or ice powers, is now able to foretell things before
being told.”
“What a rude thing to say to a lady.
According to my foretelling, I see us winning-…” Jaime created a shadow behind
Sammy and she negated by stabbing the ground with her scythe. “You have
forgotten that I can foretell your actions, didn’t you?” Jaime then turned into
a shadow. “I foretold that as well. Hum, hum!~”
“You probably can foretell me, but
can you predict me based on where I am?”
Sammy shrugged. “Hmph.” She stabbed
the ground with her scythe in a large circle so that Jaime could not reach her
regardless of his shadow powers. She cut the ground in a way so that she was on
a narrow pillar. “Don’t underestimate me just because I am a woman.”
Jaime stood still. He wondered what
his next battle plan should be. Sammy continued to speak, “Before I make matters
worse, I would like to propose something.”
“And what is that?”
“You tell me who has the key, and I
will leave this building alone.”
“Isn’t that more of a threat? Or a
lost cause – on you?” Jaime appeared from his shadow since he could not attack
while being on shadow mode. He then quickly threw a Shadow Ball at her by
surprise. Sammy stabbed through the ball and it vanished.
Sammy fixed her glasses. “You’re an
interesting rival, but I don’t have time for this.”
“Were you always this uptight,
missy? I’m sure Matt and Shirley wouldn’t want to see you like this.”
“Tch, don’t even go there!!” She ran
towards Jaime with her scythe. Jaime turned into Shadow Mode and then he ran
near the building. Sammy ran towards the building as well. “I can predict where
you’ll de-shadow yourself!” She stabbed through the building and the wall began
to crack.
Jaime appeared from his shadow and
then another man came from behind the library with an explosion towards the
same wall that Sammy stabbed. Jaime jumped away from the sudden surprise. “Damn
it. Who the hell are you?”
The boy, who resembled Romeo from
the beginning of the Elemental Challenges appeared in anger. “I hate people!! I
can’t stand them all!!!” He grabbed a piece of rubble and then he threw it at
Jaime and Sammy. The rubble turned larger.
“Crap. He’s here already?” Sammy
commented. She then thought about something as she suddenly ran away. Jaime
turned to her, “Hey what are you d-…” The large boulder almost attacked Jaime,
but Jaime quickly turned into Shadow Mode.
Romeo yelled again, “You bastards!!
Ungrateful bastards!!!” He punched the ground several times and it turned into
vines. Each vine gripped onto Jaime.
“Who are you and what did you just
do?! Let me go!” Romeo constantly destroyed the library simply by punching the
ground next to it. Jaime examined him closely. “Those powers… It’s as if he
could manipulate rubble… But why is he so angry?”
Romeo began crying. Blood ran over
his face and arms. Jaime said to him, “Hey, stop what you are doing! What
happened to you?!” Romeo then took out a knife from his pocket. Jaime tried his
best to clap his hands together in order to create a Shadow Imitation of
himself. “(This is the first time I will try this. I hope it all goes well!)”
Another shadow in Jaime’s form
appeared and stopped Romeo from stabbing himself. The knife fell to the ground
and Romeo began to cry out loud again. “WHERE IS THE KEY? GIVE IT TO ME, NOW.”
Jaime’s Shadow Imitation disappeared
due to instable usage, so he tried to strike the vines with his shadows which
were successful. Jaime pointed at Romeo, “Dude, calm down! I don’t have the
key, and I won’t hurt you either. What’s up with you?”
~~~
After several minutes of calming
down, Jaime and Romeo sat down together. Romeo wiped the blood off of his face
with his own sleeves. “My… My dear Juliet has been kicked out from the first
match.”
“Is that a reason to go berserk?”
“No, that’s not it. Dracula told me
that if we don’t win first place, Juliet will die and disappear forever. I
thought it was utterly cruel to participate in this, knowing that my dear
Juliet will be dead.”
“Dracula told you that?”
“Yes… and it’s terrible!”
“Dude, are you new to this?” Jaime
questioned him as Romeo nodded. “From what I’ve heard, they only return back to
Arkon’s Magic until the whole challenge is over. Are you sure Dracula told you
all of this?”
Romeo looked at his bloody hands.
“Yes… He told me everything, and none of our friends said anything. They looked
worried for Juliet, but that was it. I feel so useless. Everyone in my team is
so much stronger than I am!”
Jaime stood up. “That lying fiend.”
“What do you mean?”
“It makes sense now. He must have
lied to you and taken advantage of you because you are new. It seems Mountain
View must be eager to win this for some reason.”
“They really like their powers, so
they want to keep it. I honestly just want it to go away so Juliet and I can
live in peace.” He looked up at the sky. “But, it’s too late.”
