Most Mobians know the abilties of the 7 Chaos Emeralds: possessing enough energy to destroy the entire moon, enabling people with the power of super transformation, powering large mechanical devices/airships with the power to destroy the world, traveling through/freezing time with Chaos Control, and probably other uses no even knows about. But, thousands of years ago, when Mobius had tons of erupting volcanoes, clashing tsunamis, harsh blizzards, and destructive earthquakes, the 7 emeralds had been created by the gods to calm the natural disasters. So, the emeralds absorbed the intense energy of the weather and coverted it into chakra to pacify the destruction, and became the the 7 Elemental Emeralds. The chakras that they contain are:
Water(Blue Emerald)- Can control all forms of water ( ice, rain, clouds, fog, etc.) and create powerful storms, tsunamis, and large maelstroms to use to their advantage. If combined with someone possessing the ability of earth, both users can create waterfalls and use mudshots as weapons. Healing is also an ability associated with this element, but, depending on either the type of water ( i.e dirty water, salt water, purified water) or the experience of the user, the healing power may vary. When the moon happens to be out, that chakra is amplified.
Fire(Red Emerald)- This element is one of the more powerful elements. With this emerald, the user is able to create fire at will, along with control over volcanoes and even lightning since some traits of fire exist in lightning (a.k.a. heat). Depending on the the vibes or emotions of the user, the color may vary, with red being the weakest, green being stronger, and blue being the most powerful of them all. Like the moon powers up water, fire is instead amplified by the sun.
Lightning(Yellow Emerald)- One of the two more powerful elements of all 7 elements. Lightning can be used for both offensive AND defensive purposes. The offensive uses include: lightning blasts, strikes, and creating orbs of lightning to throw. Defensive abilities are: magnetic shields, absorbing lightning into your body to get more power into attacks or get more energy, and transform the user into real lightning to escape at high speeds.
Air(Gray Emerald)- The element of air is used for both defensive and offensive purposes, like lightning, but mostly defensive. The users of this emerald can create tornadoes and powerful air currents to knock people off their feet, or, create an air bubble for shield uses or breathing underwater.. The Air Emerald also allows users to control ice, since there is water in the air and cold air creates ice.
Ice(Cyan Emerald)- The Ice Emerald chakra seems to be one of the more weaker chakras of the 7, since it can break or melt very easily (unless the user reinforces it with unbreakable ice or metal, or if the user is very experienced with the element).There are some strong points with this element, too, such as: creating harsh blizzards or snowstorms, creating icicle kunai or weapons to use against opponents, and making avalanches to completely cover the person in snow. Users who also use this emerald have some control over water.
Earth(Green Emerald)-The Earth Emerald has an immense amount of chakra used for controlling all forms of ground ( i.e. rocks, mountains, mud, and even sand) and plants ( since the roots of the plants are connected to the ground.) If the user is focused enough, they can try and manipulate metal ( since metal is just purified rock and some of the impurities are still found in it.) The Earth Emerald chakra can whip up sandstorms and mudslides to their will. However, if the emerald uses too much power, it will become too corrupted by the loss of power and go out of control.
Metal(Purple Emerald)-The Metal Emerald is the last created of the Elemental Emeralds. This chakra can provide the user with the ability to bend metal into any shape they want to, such as throwing knives, shuriken, and other weapons. The user can also turn plain earth into metal so they can have an unlimited source of weapons to be able to use.
The Elemental Emeralds are now referred these days as Chaos Emeralds, since they were at first guarded by Chaos and gained negative and positive energy from the Master Emerald, so no one truly knows if those elemental powers still exist. But if someone were to discover these presumed hidden abilities if the emeralds, the results might be explosive...
