Ever wonder how the Elemental Heroes came into being? Well this is how it happened if they were real…

Chapter One: The Choosing

My name is Avan, or at least that's what my friends call me. My real name is Eamon, but for some reason, I always spelled my name Avan, so that was my nickname. I was just a normal kid, about 16. My friend Parker (we call him Sparky) was calling to me from across the front circle of Duel Academy.

"Hey Avan, whats up?" Sparky said, slapping me a high five. I shook my head, "Nothin much. You?" He grinned.

"Trixie and Clayton are coming back from that other school, ummm?" he scratched his head, "uhhh… oh yeah, North Academy!" My eyes widened. I hadn't seen Trixie or Clayton since we first came to Duel Academy. They moved I think because they're parents were about to move north, but I was never sure.

"Alright!" I exclaimed. Sparky and me slapped another high five, and for the next week or so, we planned a party for Trixie and Clayton.

One Week Later

"SPARKY! AVAN!" Trixie called to us from the ship. I ran up and hugged her around the waist. It was a bit emotional, but she didn't mind. Clayton ran down in his usual funky way, tripping over a screw or something and barreling into Sparky.

"Yeah Clayton, its great to see you too…"Sparky said awkwardly. I let go of Trixie and helped Sparky up. But before he got up, Clayton, Trixie, Sparky and me suddenly jolted away from everything else.

"OHHH MYYY GGOODD!" Trixie screamed before we all slammed down on a hard metal surface. I groaned. It felt like a truck had slammed into my head. I looked around at Sparky and Clayton. For some reason I never figured out, Clayton seemed unaffected in anyway.

"WELCOME!" a booming voice roared. It was so loud it shook the room, which was completely black except for a single light shining around us. Sparky jumped up, and started twitching, which was always funny to see.

"Who's there?" I asked, and I got my answer before I even thought of the question, because I was staring right at it.

"Welllll, look who we have here" an old man said. He had a hunched back and some hypnotizing wheel in his hand, or that's what it looked like.

"Who the hell are you?" Trixie demanded. The old man silenced her. "I am the Fusion Sage. I safeguard the universe with a team of heroes, known as the Elemental Heroes.

I laughed, so hard a fist was punching me from the inside. "Please, Elemental heroes. Yeah right." Before I knew it, he smacked me across the head. He growled, "This is no laughing matter. Damn it, if you don't shut the hell up, your planet will be destroyed!"

"What?" I asked. "Wait before you answer that, why are we here?" Sage, looked down. "My original heroes were destroyed, by our greatest enemies, the Destiny Heroes. You're here to replace them. Sparky shook his head, "No way man. We are not risking our lives for some guy who beats people up and cusses them out. That is just damn wrong."

"Why did you choose us?" Clayton asked. The old man seemed amused by the question, and pulled out a small piece of cloth. He began what I could already tell was going to be a long speech.

"I started observing you all, when you were beginning to shape up like heroes. Avan, you caught my eye when you jumped across a hole in a dig site to save a construction worker. Sparky, I noticed you when, you risked yourself by saving a cat stuck on a live electrical wire. Trixie, you ran inside a burning building to save two young girls from dying a fiery death. Clayton, you stepped in front of a punch by a hulking bully to protect someone from harm. Because of what you did, you were given a Elemental Hero name."

"Trixie, your fearlessness of fire, grants you the name of Elemental Hero Burstinitrix. Clayton, your powerful structure gives you the name of Elemental Hero Clayman. Sparky, for braving electricity, your name is Elemental Hero Sparkman. And Avan, for flying across your death to save someone else, your name is Elemental Hero Avian."

The weird sage shot a beam across the room, that enveloped us. The light changed my clothes into something else. I could feel my muscles expanding. Wings grew out of my back, and my shire changed into a green color with a white center. Small claws grew out of my hands, and a bird themed mask grew over my face.

The light faded and died away. The sage was smiling at our changed selves. Clayton looked like a clay doll, brown rounded skin with a small stubby head. Trixie looked like a Barbie doll with a mean attitude, a mask similar to mine over her face, and a red jumpsuit over her body. Sparky looked like a Power Ranger with a the upgrade. A conducting glass helmet was over his head, and a metal suit covered him.

"Ahh, my new team. You are the new Elemental Heroes." I grinned. What the heck? I looked at the others. They nodded to me and I said, "We'll do it!" The sage smiled and sighed. "Then meet the other Elemental Heroes. Four others appeared from the darkness around us. One was large, almost bigger than Clayton, with a gold body and two blades on the bottoms of his arms. One looked like a bug, standing upright, with a black and red body. Another looked like a Scot from Braveheart, with a large sword across his back. The last one looked like me, with a bigger sense of authority.

The gold one said, "Im Elemental Hero Bladedge. Im the strongest of the Elemental Heroes." The Braveheart one said, "Im Elemental Hero Wildheart, the fiercest of the Elemental Heroes." The bug shaped one said, "Im Elemental Hero Necroshade. Im the darkest of the Elemental Heroes" Finally the last one said, "Im Elemental Hero Neos, the most powerful of the Elemental Heroes."

The sage smiled again, "The Elemental Heroes are back together!" We all cheered. He said under his breath, "We'll work out the details later."

So what do you think? I'll update as soon as possible, when I get over five reviews. Thanks for reading!
