Fire, Earth and Water

More questions than answers
It had been days and the three boys hadn't attacked Earth again. Fire, Earth and Water were assigned to train and work on their powers in each of their own terrain. They had already trained in the canyons that Earth often used to train. They had already trained in the canyons that Earth often used to train. Fire and Water discovered that their abilities to control fire and water respectively, had it's own symbiosis. Now they were even more interested about how this symbiosis would work in Fire's terrain and only home.
"Welcome to my home," Fire said formally when right after exiting a portal all was fire and ash.
Earth and Water looked around in surprise. Fire had told them that her home held no other living life but herself. but they never expected to see what they saw as a burning wasteland.
Fire however saw it as her paradise. A glowing wonderland if one dare go that far. The volcanoes were her main habitat where she mostly lived and slept with the exception of eating, going outside and sometimes reading. Also she often trained and improved upon her abilities outside the volcano. But always within her domain, which also had a lot of boiling lava on its floor along with hardened igneous rock. It was on this igneous rock that the three females stood upon.
"How can you live here?" Earth asked as she looked around mystified.
"Like you can live in your precious canyons," Fire responded, "I just do."
"I'm not always in those canyons," Earth responded and she sounded offended, "and I don't like the way you refer to them," she continued, "I doubt you'd want me to say 'oh I guess you hang around lively volcanoes and darling ash," she added.
"Actually I wouldn't give a damn," Fire told her, "after we destroy those boys we won't have need to communicate with each other anymore," she said, "hopefully never again."
"I don't mind making new friends," Water said softly.
"I know you don't Water," Fire said frankly, "I just don't want any," she told Water.
"Guess that's why you love this place," Earth spoke, "very no guests wanted," she added.
"Just the way I like it," Fire said, "and from what I've heard and read about you, you're not a big time socialite yourself."
"You read about me?" Earth asked in surprise and Fire nodded.
"What about me?" Water asked enthusiastically.
"Abba mentioned you," Fire said with absolutely no enthusiasm in her voice.
"God Abba," Water corrected her.
"I don't usually call him that and you know it," Fire said to Water, "you have to learn to accept that."
"Well you could at least call him God," Earth spoke to her, "he did after all provide you with everything you have," she pointed out.
"Then why does he understand that I don't call him God Abba and you don't?" Fire demanded.
"Maybe he doesn't want to waste his time with obstinate girls," Water said.
"Or maybe he knows that it takes more than a name and a position for someone to be considered worthy," Fire fired back.
The other two females gasped.
"Are you questioning God Abba's worthiness?" Earth asked in disbelief.
"I knew you weren't faithful!" Water shouted.
"Listen to me bitch!" Fire exploded at Water, "I'm not taking anymore of your crap!" she cried, "just 'cause you worship Mr. Abba twenty-four seven doesn't mean that I have to!" she shouted, "do you do things like read or socialize or does that take too much out of your worshipping the Great God Abba?" she spat at a shocked Water.
"God Abba deserves to be called as such," Earth said suddenly.
"You and I currently have no qualm Earth," Fire said warningly, "you might not want to change that."
"I'm not looking for a quarrel," Earth responded, "I just think that you could respect God Abba more."
"Well that's just too bad," Fire countered, "we are to work together," she said, "not invade each other's personal lives and try to commit personality reconstruction," she added darkly and glared at Water.
"What, you're talking to her!" Water cried.
"But you started this whole 'call him God Abba' thing," Fire reminded her, "just leave me alone pretty girl." She told Water.
"It's Water," Water corrected her darkly.
"It's gonna be steam if you don't leave me alone," Fire threatened.
"Steam?" Earth asked in confusion while Water gasped and suddenly looked scared.
"When water becomes steam it's no longer Water," Fire said simply, "well at least it's…"
"How dare you threaten to hurt me!" Water exploded.
Earth's eyes widened incredulously as she finally realized what Fire meant.
"Then keep your personal opinions to yourself," Fire snapped.
"You're nothing but a shameless monster!" Water shouted.
"And you're a shameless poster girl who should go discover some shame!" Fire shouted back.
"Shut up both of you!" Earth shouted suddenly.
Both females became quiet and turned to Earth.
"We are supposed to be this planet's saviour!" Earth shouted at them, "look at us!" she cried, "we can't even be around each other without quickly breaking into arguments!" she cried, "how the hell are we supposed to save this planet together!" she demanded.
"Maybe we can't," Fire said.
"What do you mean by we can't?" Earth asked her.
"Maybe we can't defeat them," Fire said simply.
Earth and Water looked at Fire incredulously. They couldn't believe what they were hearing.
"Are you saying that we might lose?" Water asked softly.
"in many great wars good has lost to evil," Fire said frankly, "being stronger or weaker than their enemies didn't matter," she made sure to add.
"Are you saying that those three boys might beat us, destroy Earth and God Abba?" Earth asked not believing her ears.
"I'm saying that there is no guarantee that we'll win," Fire responded, "these boys not only have extraordinary strength," she continued, "but they also know each other and worse, they seem to think that they possibly know about us," she reminded them, "it might sound psycho but this Blossom that they called me was an unusually bright kid like myself," she told them, "it's strange that they'd know such information right off the bat without knowing anything about me," she pointed out.
"Maybe they heard about you," Earth suggested.
"From who?" Fire demanded, "only the spirits and God Abba knew about me before you two."
Well neither the spirits nor God Abba would've blabbed," Water spoke up, "this is getting really creepy," she announced in a fearful voice.
"It was already creepy," Earth said frankly, "the possibility of losing God Abba made it so at the very beginning," she added.
The other two nodded in agreement.
"Hey!" Water cried suddenly, "you said God Abba without being angered or annoyed into saying it Fire," she said happily and giggled.
Fire mentally reviewed her last few statements.
"I guess I did," Fire said.
"Not like swallowing bile now is it?" Earth asked her with a smile.
"Only if I'm asked that," Fire responded with a look of disgust on her face, "and don't get used to God Abba coming out of my mouth," she told them, "I'm not doing it all the time," she added.
"That's okay," Water said happily, "I guess," she added less enthusiastically.
"We have all the time in the world right now to change her mind," Earth said now to change her mind, "Earth said reassuringly to Water.
Fire simply turned away from both of them and rolled her eyes.
"Let's continue training," Fire said formally and the other two agreed.

(Meanwhile in Hulo)
God Abba walked around as he thought about everything. How his entire world was at risk thanks to three boys who were created by the very evil that attacked his Earth years ago.
He also thought about the three heroic girls who almost died in their fight against that very evil which they defeated. God Abba recalled how he saved each girl, and gave each of hem a new life and body. Erasing their past memories so they'd never question their current lives and how each in their own way loved and respected him. Their loyalty to him unwavering. And that's why when the planet was attacked; each went to ensure Earth wasn't destroyed. But now things had changed. One of his own doubted him. Fire, the logic of the group.
"If she figures out her past," God Abba said, "it could unravel everything."
"How could he tell them that he removed them from another life. Another life in which they were obviously loved, cared for and raised to do the right thing. How could he tell them that their very father and creator, this Professor Utonium; now was on the side of these destructive boys and wanted to destroy him God Abba and the Earth he'd created. How could he tell the three females who had been loyal to him for so long, that he'd been disloyal to them by not telling them the whole truth. That in saving him and Earth, they might have to destroy their father and stepbrothers.
