Chapter 8

Together at Last

"Did I really do all of that?" Daimon asked.

"We're still not sure. The behemoth talked about you like a separate person, and it said that you would be free 'for now.' Do you have any idea of what that means?" Thunder asked.

"Well, when I was unconscious, I heard the name Charlie. Maybe that's the guy's name and he was using me to interact with the physical world?" Daimon shuddered at the thought.

A week had passed and they still had no idea what happened, though Daimon agreed to join the Elementals. "At least he hasn't come back. I also haven't gotten angry in this past week. Maybe that has something to do with it." Daimon tried.

"Possibly, but I think that we should stop being gloomy and go do something as a team!" Shade put in, "Maybe we could go bowling!"

"Sure! I love bowling!" The Guide answered.

The Elementals went walking to the nearest bowling alley, since no car could hold them in their changed forms. They arrived at the bowling alley and paid for one game. As they walked over to their lane, Daimon and the Guide were discussing how to get the bowling shoes on, but they eventually decided it would be impossible to put any on.

"With or without powers?" Shade asked when they got to their game, "Sabotage or no?"

"Yes, and no. Yes, to the powers, but no to sabotaging other people." Guido answered.

"Awww. It would be a cool experience, though. Protecting our ball from others, making sure it gets all the way there." Shade tried.

"Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt to practice with our powers." Guido grinned.

Shade was up first, and when he rolled his bowling ball, Daimon made a short wall to block it, but its shadow let Shade transport the ball through the shadow and get a strike. Next up was Guido. He rolled his ball, using heat to keep it in line, but Thunder made water push the ball into the gutter. Daimon was third, so he made a slide to roll his ball, but Guido melted the ramp and it rolled to get three pins.

Last of all came Thunder. She rolled the ball directly down the lane, and when Guido tried to melt the floor, she cooled it down. Daimon tried making a wall, but Thunder's water made a path in it. As her ball was passing through the wall, there was a slight shadow that caused it to fall, appearing behind the pins and getting no points.

The game continued in this manner until it was finished. Shade had won with the maximum score of three hundred points. "Good game guys!" Shade said as they were walking back to Chance's lab.

"Yeah, sure." mumbled Daimon, who had gotten no points, "I guess it was fun."

This stopped the conversation until they got to the lab, where they all immediately went to their individual rooms and fell asleep, exhausted from using their powers.
