A/N: Okay, since I live in Southern California and we are getting pummeled by rain, lightning and tornadoes. I got the idea to start this story...well, watching xmen evolution helped too, but that's besides the point. Anyways, there are a lot of footnotes and I suggest you read them because I will explain more about their individual powers later on in the story. Especially Sora's because his is the only one that isn't fully used yet. XD anyways. I hope you like it. ~Enjoy

Elements, Shadows, Light

Roxas sat on his bed looking out the window at the thunderstorm raging outside. It was uncommon for there to be such storms in Southern California, but strange weather had been occurring recently. The blonde remembered a few days ago when it had snowed with water spouts seen on the horizon from his window. He had lived in Huntington Beach (1) for his whole life and had never seen anything like that before. The weather casters and scientists couldn't explain the random weather patterns that were occurring. According to them, these storms just formed out of nowhere and seemed to be focused on just the Huntington Beach area during the night.

He heard a scream coming from his identical twins room as he felt the ground start to shake. Earthquakes were common in Southern California, but this would be the first one he would have experienced firsthand. The last earthquake that happened in Southern California was during the summer he was visiting his older brother Cloud in New York. The blonde ran to his twins room to see that he was screaming in his sleep and not because he had awaken to an earthquake. He ran over to his brother, Ventus, and shook him awake. The moment Ventus' eyes opened not only did the earthquake stop, but also the storm outside. Their brunette brother, Sora, came running in and jumped on the bed only to hide under the covers shaking. Ventus, Roxas and Sora were triplets, but Ventus and Roxas were also identical twins. (2) The two identical twins stared at each other knowing that Ventus had something to with these weird weather patterns and probably the earthquake as well.

Roxas rolled his blue eyes as he went to the window to open it to a now starry clear night without a single cloud in the sky. He looked around to see if their neighbors were awakened by the earthquake, but no one was screaming or panicking like he expected. The light to Ventus' room was turned on as their parents came in asking if they were all okay. The three brothers nodded and asked their parents if the three of them could sleep in the same room for the rest of the night. Their parents agreed that it was a good idea and helped them lay out sleeping bags in the living room. When the three boys were all lying in their sleeping bags, their parents left to return to their master bedroom upstairs. The moment Sora's head hit the pillow he was out like nothing had even happened.

"Roxas…" Ventus whispered softly as he turned to face his twin. "I think I'm causing all these weird things to happen, but I don't know why." Roxas looked at his twin knowing full well that Ventus was probably right. Every time Ventus went to sleep was when all the strange weather would appear. Then there was tonight when he started screaming the earthquake started.

"Maybe you're some kind of superhero," Roxas smiled trying to make his twin feel better. "All you have to do is learn how to control your powers and then you'll be fine." He saw his twin's face light up at the idea of being a superhero from the comic books they read together. Their favorite superhero was Batman, but he didn't have superpowers, just a lot of cool gadgets.

"Then what would my superhero name be?" Ventus asked as he turned to look up at the ceiling. "I can control the weather I guess…probably make earthquakes…neither of those really go together though." He stared at the ceiling as if it would give him the answers he wanted. Roxas turned to stare at the ceiling as well trying to find some kind of relation between earthquakes and storms. They were both things that naturally happened on earth.

"Maybe you can control the elements of the Earth." Roxas concluded. "I mean think about it. They are both things that happen naturally…er… supposed to happen naturally until some little punk called Ven decides to mess with it." They both laughed making Sora mumble something in his sleep and roll onto his left side.

"I guess my superhero name could be Elementum. (3)" Ventus said in a deep voice trying to make it sound threatening. Roxas laughed at his twin because it didn't sound like a good superhero name. "What? It means The Element in Latin. I think it works out just fine."

"Elementum?" Roxas snickered, "It sounds like 'eliminate him'. Besides, nobody would know it was Latin. It's a dead language and stupid for that matter."

"It's not stupid!" Ventus argued, "My name means wind in Latin thank you very much."

"And Sora means sky in Japanese," Roxas shrugged, "And my name is from a video game character, big deal. It only proves that our parents are weird like that. I mean, they named our big brother Cloud because the day mom went into labor she saw a cloud in the shape of a baby." Ventus just glared at him like he had insulted the twin bond of trust or something of that matter. Roxas sighed as he rolled his eyes before returning to staring at the ceiling.

"Well at least I have powers." Ventus said trying to rub it in to make his twin feel jealous. Roxas was a little jealous that they were identical twins and only one of them had powers. For all he knew Sora could have powers too that just hadn't awakened yet which led him to wonder if he had some dormant powers inside him. "I'm sorry," he heard his twin say, "I didn't mean to gloat…"

"It's okay," Roxas chuckled, "I shouldn't have made fun of your superhero name. I think I'm just a little jealous is all. You have these amazing powers that can control the elements of the Earth and I have nothing." He heard his twin scoot closer so that their sleeping bags were touching.

"You shouldn't be jealous," Ventus whispered, "because for some reason I get the feeling that your powers are about to awaken as well." He held his twin's hand letting out a soft yawn as he rested his head on his pillow feeling safe with his twin next to him. "Night Roxas…"

"Night Ven (4)," Roxas yawned before falling asleep into a dream of shadows. As Roxas dreamed the shadows in the room started to move and take the shape of unknown creatures. These creatures marched slowly to Roxas, fusing together and engulfing the sleeping blonde into the world of shadows.

When Roxas awoke the next morning he was no longer in the living room, but in the garage of someone else's house. He knew that it wasn't his garage because neither of his parents owned a Toyota Prius or a Honda Civic. The blonde looked around trying to figure out how he ended up in someone else's garage and where he was so he could get back home. The faint orange glow of light coming from under garage door meant that it was still too early for the sun to be up and that the people who owned the house were probably still asleep. With a sigh he went to the door that took him outside into the backyard of one of his friend's house. He knew it was Hayner's house because there was no one else he knew that had a backyard with a tether ball (5) in it. It was still dark outside, but there was a faint light on the horizon signaling the sun was about to rise. The blonde shook his head before exiting Hayner's backyard and walking the two blocks back to his house. He got to the door of his house only to realize he didn't have his key on him.

"Shit," Roxas groaned as he sat himself on the porch steps. There was no way he was going to get back inside without having to wake someone meaning he would have to try and explain something he couldn't. He thought of his empty sleeping bag next Ventus not noticing he was sinking into the world of shadows once again. When he realized he was sinking into the shadows it was too late and he looked around at a world that was similar, but everything was in black and white while the shadows were a dark purple color. Trying to convince himself he was in a dream, he walked up the steps to his porch and just walked through the door of his house so he could see himself still asleep next to his twin. However, when he got there his sleeping bag was empty with Ventus and Sora still asleep next to him. He looked around at all the purple shadows and touched one to see what would happen. When he touched it his arm disappeared into the purple nothingness. Figuring things couldn't get much worse he jumped into the shadow to find himself back in the world of color with everything normal looking. He turned back to the shadow he had just came out of and poked at it to see his hand disappear back into the shadow.

"What?" Roxas questioned as he pulled his hand out looking at it. "Powers of the shadows?" His powers had finally awakened and he was able to use the shadows to go anywhere he pleased. He went over to his twin to wake him up, but when he touched Ventus he felt something strange happen (6). Ventus woke up in a start holding his head with his eyes closed shut. Before Roxas could ask what was wrong he got his answer. A huge storm was now forming outside, but this time it wasn't just lightning and heavy rain. He ran to the window to see long cylinder clouds coming down from the sky. There were now tornadoes forming in Huntington Beach getting ready touchdown and wreak havoc. (7) He ran back to his twin placing his hands on Ventus' shoulders.

"Ven!" Roxas yelled, "You have to stop this! Tornadoes are forming and you have to stop before they destroy the city!"

"I can't!" Ventus cried as if he was in pain, "Something is wrong!" He shook his head as tears stained his face before falling to the ground. Roxas glanced out the windows to see the tornadoes disappear, but only to be replaced with a horrible earthquake. He knew it wasn't safe for them to be there so he grabbed Sora's hand and wrapped his other arm around Ventus focusing all his powers on transporting them to the shadow world. Right as the entertainment center was about to crush them, they all disappeared into the world of black and white. Ventus relaxed as he rested his head on Roxas' shoulder panting. The world of shadows didn't contain the elements of the Earth so Ventus' powers didn't work there. It also stopped everything Ventus had unleashed in the real world. Sora yawned as he stretched and rubbed his eyes looking around a bit baffled.

"Ven!" Roxas screamed, "Are you okay?" His twin only nodded clinging to Roxas' shirt trembling. Sora blinked as he looked at his two brothers.

"What happened?" the brunette asked not realizing they were all sitting in the middle of the entertainment center that they should be crushed under.

"I don't know…" Roxas admitted hugging his twin. "All of the sudden Ven lost control of his powers. I think it has something to do with me touching him earlier."

"You two have powers too?" Sora yawned once again. "I thought I was the only one."

"You have powers?" Roxas asked raising a blonde eyebrow. "When did you get them? And why didn't you tell us?" He was surprised that the brunette, not being the smartest of the three, seemed to act like having powers wasn't a big deal at all.

"For like a few days." Sora smiled, "I can control light…kind of…" He looked around at the black and white world of shadows. "Although, there isn't really light here so I can't really show you." Their conversation was interrupted by the sounds of their parents screaming thinking the three of them had been crushed by the entertainment center. Roxas sighed as he took his brothers' hands and took them back to the real world next to the fallen entertainment center. Their mother let out a surprised gasp before running over to hug and kiss them.

The five of them went outside to see nothing but destruction everywhere they looked. Cars were flipped over, parts of houses had collapsed and there were even parts of the street that were ripped apart. Ventus let out a soft moan knowing that this was entirely his fault. Roxas was going to take his twins hand, but didn't when he felt the same strange sensation tingle through his body. The last thing he needed was for Ventus to lose control of his powers again. Sora started running down the street to a house that collapsed.

"Sora!" their mother yelled, "Get back here! It's dangerous!"

"I have to help them!" Sora yelled back, "I know I can." Roxas sighed and followed after his brother knowing that he could probably help the trapped people with his powers as well. The sun was already starting to rise in the east and Sora just stood in front of the collapsed house with his eyes closed. The moment the sun's light hit him he started to glow so bright Roxas had to shield his eyes. Sora stopped glowing with a smile as he started lifting up the heavy rubble of the house like they were pieces of paper. Roxas scowled remembering that Sora told him he could control light, not have sudden super strength. (8)

"Wait!" Roxas yelled, "You don't know where they are! If you keep doing that you might make matters worse." The brunette stopped and looked at Roxas with the expression of 'what else could they do?' The blonde shook his head, "I'll travel to the shadow world to and pull them out that way. It is probably safer." Sora thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"But you're taking me with you!" Sora exclaimed. Roxas had no choice but to agree with his stubborn brother. After ten minutes of going through the three houses that collapsed they managed to get everyone out and safe. Thankfully no one was seriously hurt just a bunch of cuts and bruises which seemed more like a miracle after the chaos that just happened. Instead of getting everyone thanking them, everyone just looked at them like there were freaks. However, that is what they were…freaks of the elements, shadows and light.

A/N: 1- Yes I live in Huntington Beach

2- Okay, since I've been playing Birth by Sleep over and over again like an idiot. I had to put Ventus in and since I love Sora and Roxas being twins I had to make them triplets.

3- My sister is obsessed with Latin so all of them will have Latin names.

4- For all of you that have yet to play Birth by Sleep. Everyone calls Ventus Ven. That and he tells every fucking person he meets that too. "Hi my name is Ventus, but call me Ven." God I got sick of hearing that.

5- Tether ball consists of a metal pole with a string attaching it with a ball. You hit it around the pole with another person and whoever gets the ball completely around wins. I used to play this all the time in elementary school

6- This is another part of Roxas' powers. He can place hexes on people making them have bad luck or if it is another mutant then their powers go crazy. So pretty much everything is Roxas' fault.

7- Okay, for all you peoples that don't watch the news. There was a tornado in Huntington Beach/ Sunset Beach okay. See where I got the idea? I almost pissed my pants when I saw that shit. Fuck, I'll have an earthquake any day over a fucking tornado. Us Cali people aren't prepared for such things.

8- Okay, so part of Sora's power is he can absorb light from the sun and turn it into some kind of energy. Here he is turning it into super strength, but if he wants he could turn it into beams of light and what not.

So that is it for the footnotes. I know the first chapter is kind of slow and weird, but we'll meet the rest of the gang in the next chapter when they go to the Mickey Institute for gifted youths. Yes, It is call the Mickey Institute, don't get crazy with me okay. I hope you enjoyed it.

Until my next installment. ~Byes
