Toasty heaved a sigh of relief as the first recruit arrived. It had only been a day since his letter had reached the eyes of the people of the realms. High above him, the sky churned and spewed lighting. The youthful fire spirit moved fluidly as a bolt of electricity struck the ground, revealing the only easy patron he would acquire for his mission. Toasty flinched in surprise, as the figure, who was only little bit shorter than he was, raised his arms in the air. Lighting shot from his finger tips as he cried out. "KID THUUUUUNDERRR!".
After this unnecessary display was finished, Toasty could truly see how the child spirit of lighting had changed over the years. Kid Thunder now appeared as a teenager of about 16 or 17 years of age, and had grown to be very lean and agile youth. Toasty stood with his firm jaw half hanging open, as Kid Thunder approached him and grappled him in a crushing hug. "TOASTY!" He exclaimed.
With one eyebrow raised, Toasty peeled the excited teen spirit from his body, and brushed off his clothes. "It's been quite a while Kid, how's everything holding up?" Asked Toasty, trying not appear like a prude. "Oh it's been a hell of a time." replied Kid Thunder, taking off his straw hat and balancing it on one finger. "Oh really?" Toasty used his acting skills to make it appear that he had interest in the teen's experiences. "Training with Raiden, keeping up with the politics of the elder gods, watching competitions, it's a wild ride." Kid Thunder said sarcastically, clearly bored of his usual duties as a spirit.
"So when are we going to get to the action, the fighting, the boom-boom-pow?!" He added quickly while playfully punching Toasty in the arm. Toasty reproached the teen by swatting him away. He put one of his fists behind his back and began to pace out and back as he spoke.
"This isn't about the fighting, it's about something much more important. It's about finding our warriors, and saving the realms from certain destruction. Working as a team, learning new skills and-" Toasty cut off as he realized that Kid Thunder was mocking his speech, making one of his hands appear to talk to the other. "Why am I wasting my time on you?" Toasty scoffed and turned away from Kid Thunder. "Oh come on Big-T, I'm just excited, no reason to be sore."
Kid Thunder walked over to Toasty and put one hand on his shoulder. Toasty in turn shrugged it off. "This is just very important, the single most important thing in the universe, I just want to make sure you understand that and can take it seriously." He said, staring down Kid Thunder. "I CAN do this, you just have to trust me" Kid Thunder replied with a stern, mature smile. "Now lets do the Electric Slide!" He added grinning from ear to ear. Toasty frowned and, heaved a heavy sigh and said "This is no time for fun and games Kid, this is serious business, life and death- aww fine, one time and then that's it" Kid Thunder bounced a little. "I'll get my tennis shoes" He said with a squeal.

((I've decided to write short chapters but update frequently. I always though it would be interesting to make "Toasty" a real character. Kid Thunder, in case you might not know, is featured as one of Raiden's fatalities called a "Friendship" in one of the older Mortal Kombat games.))
