Chapter 1: Practice
The Five, now calling themselves the Elementals, were down on the beach, by the familiars' cave, practicing with their powers. Although Merlin could not physically appear to any of them, he did all he could to help them in their minds. The Elementals had grown pretty close to Grandfather Merlin during this time period. Samantha had grown the closest to dear old grandpa, and it seems that she got the most attention from him. The others weren't jealous, but they couldn't help but wonder why Samantha got the most attention.
Anyway, the Elementals were currently working with their powers separately. Chelsea was in the ocean working on move the water. Samantha was flame target practicing on the Elementals' homemade drift wood and seaweed dummies. Bethany was shooting lightning into the distance, away from Chelsea that is. Amelia was practicing on blowing the sand around, and Jimmy was working on moving rocks around the cave. The had made it a routine that they practice separately before having a free- for- all battle with each other. The familiars of course, also did their parts in assisting the Elementals in their practice, and they agreed to be referees for the free-for-all spar.
"Alright, you five that's enough individual practice for now." Arrow stated.
"Time for the free-for-all already?" Bethany asked.
"Yes, you all have been practicing for nearly an hour now." Abhay stated.
"Wow, time sure does go by fast." Chelsea stated.
"Okay everyone, take your positions." Claw said.
So the Elementals stood in a pentagon formation and took their fighting stances.
"Okay let's review all of your individual rules." Skye stated. "Amelia, no trying to blow people away; you can knock them down, but you can't try and remove them from the beach." Amelia nodded to her phoenix.
"Samantha, no burning peoples' feet that would be considered an unfair advantage." Claw stated. Samantha nodded to him with a wicked smile on her face. "I mean it." Claw stated.
"Jimmy, no taking head shots at anyone." Gollum said. Jimmy gave a knowing nod to the gnome.
"Chelsea, not freezing people, or stretching the ocean." Arrow stated. Chelsea gave the kelpie a smile and a nod.
"Bethany, no taking any shots to anyone's chest." Abhay stated. Bethany nodded to the acromantula.
"Ready, Fight!" Claw yelled.
So the Elementals literally began throwing everything they had at each other.
Samantha tried knocking Chelsea off balance by repeatedly throwing flames at her. However, Chelsea tried to stop her by extinguishing the flames.
Jimmy and Amelia were going at each other more than any of the others. Jimmy threw has many rocks as possible, and Amelia was trying so hard to knock him on his backside. It was as if they were doing whatever was possible to make the other lose their balance.
Bethany broke up the fight between Jimmy and Amelia and started going after both of them, mostly Jimmy though.
Samantha, who just knocked Chelsea on her feet, interrupted the battle and targeted Jimmy and Bethany. Chelsea got up of her feet and started going at Amelia. They continued like that for about half an hour; until the familiars called for them to stop.
"Alright, weapons out." Claw shouted.
So the Elementals pulled out the weapons that Merlin had given them. Samantha pulled out a long jagged sword, Chelsea took out a mace, Amelia pulled out a bow and arrows (with the points removed from them), Bethany pulled out a club, and Jimmy took out a long wooden staff.
"Okay, remember to follow the rules that are in place when you have your weapons on hand." Gollum said.
"No hitting in the head or any sensitive areas and no drawing blood." Abhay stated.
"And Samantha, do not hit anyone with the sharp side of the sword." Claw stated. Samantha knew the rule, but she stuck her tongue out at the dragon anyway.
"Also, if anyone gets hit with one of Amelia's arrows near the heart or on the thigh you're automatically out." Skye added.
"Last two standing are the winners." Arrow stated.
"Ready, begin!" Abhay shouted.
The Elementals immediately went at each other, each determined to be the victorious one of the fight. Jimmy and Bethany were currently going at each other like it was a fight for survival. Bethany shot lightning at him like she really wanted to electrocute him, and Jimmy through multiple rocks in her direction in order to block her blows, but he shot so many that by the time he could see clearly again, Bethany had disappeared from his sight.
"What the hell?" Jimmy said in shock.
Suddenly Jimmy heard something from behind and turned to see Bethany coming toward him, about to hit him with her club. Jimmy thought fast and hit her in the leg with his staff, which caused Bethany to fall backwards on her back. She quickly recovered and aimed for Jimmy's arm but he just blocked her with his staff. Amelia saw this and thought it was the perfect opportunity to attack; she knotted on of her arrows and shot in Bethany and Jimmy's direction. The arrow hit Jimmy right in the thigh.
"Ouch!" Jimmy yelled.
"Sorry Jimmy, but it looks like you're out." Amelia said in a mocked tone.
Meanwhile Bethany and Samantha were fighting each other, putting everything they had into their fight. Bethany went right for Samantha's arm, but Samantha blocked her with her sword. Samantha used her superior strength to knock the club out of her hand. Then she hit Bethany in the same spot where Jimmy had hit her earlier and she fell to the ground.
"Ooow, my leg!" Bethany groaned in pain.
"Looks like you're out Bethany." Samantha stated.
So Samantha went over to fight with Chelsea and Amelia, who were exhausting themselves from all the fighting they were doing. Amelia was trying to knot one of her arrows but Chelsea knock the bow right out of her hand. She was just about to aim for Amelia's now unprotected arms, but she was unexpectedly blocked by Samantha's sword. So Samantha and Chelsea once again resumed fighting each other.
"Why still fight us Samantha, there are only three of us left, you can still win either way." Chelsea said.
"Still, that doesn't mean one of you two wouldn't try to stop me." She stated.
Just then Chelsea felt something hit her in the thigh. She looked down to see Amelia's arrow right in front of her.
"Damn." Chelsea cursed under her breath.
"Well, it looks like Amelia and Samantha are the winners!" Claw announced.
Samantha and Amelia both gave each other a high five before going to help the others up.
"Jimmy, Samantha, you guys hit so hard; I'm going to have a bruise that will last for weeks." Bethany stated.
"Sorry." Jimmy said.
"I think you should put some ice on that leg Bethany." Abhay said.
"Yeah, it should help." Chelsea stated.
"Hey, those arrows didn't cause any serious damage to you two, did it?" Amelia asked Chelsea and Jimmy.
"No, it just stung a lot." Jimmy stated.
"It will probably just leave a scratch, but other than that I'm fine." Chelsea stated.
"Well, I don't know about you guys, but I'm exhausted." Samantha stated.
"Me too, how about we have some lunch, then we can rest for a while." Chelsea suggested.
"Now that sounds like a good idea." Bethany replied.
"I agree." Samantha said.
Hey, here's chapter 1, just thought the readers might wonder how the Elementals spend their summer vacation. Thanks again to DevilDragon8, my co-author, for helping me with ideas. Please read & review the first story if you haven't done so yet.
