THE ELEMENTS PART TWO: THE ROCK FORMATION CHAPTER ONE

The group looked around the area in amazement. Sure enough, trees from the nearby forest could be seen in the distance, but it was the rock formation itself that was amazing. Just as Kaz thought, it was a castle, but not every hypothesis is completely correct. The powerful beings there were not creatures, but humans.
"What is this place?" Sarah asked, taking in the sight. Preteens and teenagers were seen through the many windows. It looked like a school.
"Well, this is my old home," Raven smiled. "This is a magic school, hidden here two years ago because our old planet was destroyed. That is how I've been able to port back and forth between your world and Perim: I have powers."

"What is that one called, ubber-creepy?" Peyton asked. Raven gave an amused smirk.
"Funny, Peyton, but it's called apparition. I can go anywhere I want with that power, except to my childhood home," Raven whispered. She sighed and her eyes clouded with nostalgia.

"What happened?" Sarah asked.
"The original school was called Hogwarts. A powerful student went there named Harry Potter. He was called 'the boy who lived' because he survived one of the most potent curses of all time. Well, he attended the school despite Muggle, or regular, adoptive parents, and he stirred up so much trouble by the time he left. He left in his sixth year, and the seventh year of his schooling went crazy. He may not have been there, but other people were, evil people. They caused a major battle to erupt, and it killed students and teachers, but also the great force which caused this mess to begin with. Well, a few months after the battle, some of the evil guys from before wanted revenge because someone killed 'their master' there, and they destroyed the just-completed school. Because they swore to return, the current headmaster found this place and used the natural rock formation to create this castle. Now, we're here because our old home was destroyed."

"You called it your planet. Was the old castle your childhood home also?" Tom asked. She nodded.
"I died there in the battle, and I made it my home. When we moved here, I became a person again. The church family that Sarah saw adopted me in your world, but I use more of my magic to keep them from finding out about Chaotic and my past. I hope they never find out because…they won't understand. This doesn't fit with their definition of reality," Raven whispered.
"So, by saving Chaotic, we're saving your school, your home, and you from being discovered by your family?" Tom asked. She nodded.
"Dude, you have way too much going on," Peyton whispered. "But hey, we might as well check this place out!" The group agreed and followed Raven inside. They were greeted with stares and silence. Raven led the group into a small office with 'headmaster' written on the heavy, wooden door in front of it. The door was carved with four symbols that none of them could interpret. After a moment, Raven and the group were let into the headmaster's office. They created her with a nod and Raven stepped forward quietly.
"Good day, Madam. I bring these Chaotic players who wish to help save the game. I wish to ask you for the means to help increase the traffic flow and help solve the problem so that they do not destroy this planet," Raven asked diplomatically.
"I understand your desires, Raven, and I have received the predictions of numerous students here, but the answer is clearly no. What you ask for are powers for players, and they are not the ones who perform the superhuman acts, the creatures do. I cannot interfere with their world without exposing ourselves," the headmaster replied.
"But Madam, if I may say so, without something like this, Chaotic will die away. The writers have stopped writing and creatures are no longer being created, so what are we to do? This game is my life, this world is like my own, and these people that I meet here are like my family. Without your help, I'll lose everything. We've already faced separation before, but Raven helped get us back here to make this journey to see you. I hate to be rude, but we're going to have to rely on your help or we're all screwed," Tom said sternly. The headmaster looked back to Raven.
"That was not rude, that was the truth," the headmaster whispered. "This can be done without drawing much attention to ourselves. We already had the means to cloak our school, and now, with the help of some locals, we can magically create more creatures, but first, the problem with the system. Players have been locked out for weeks now, which is what caused this frenzy to begin with. The one way to fix it is to fight the cause. The cause is a powerful yet evil wizard who has taken advantage of the magic here. When we moved here, we expected the local magic to slowly blend with our own, but not like this. Powers are shifting from wand to the person, and the abilities these children have are absolutely amazing. They all revolve around the elements that exist here, and the same ones can be passed onto you without much incident. There are four of you, which helps immensely. You, the one who spoke before, you are like an immovable rock, so you are Earth. The one with red hair, you will naturally be linked with this element, so you are Fire. The girl, you love power by the looks of you, so you are…Water, and the final boy is Air. Each of you will drink a potion that Raven will bring to you. While she is gone, I will give you an overview of your powers." Raven left the room quietly. Tom, Kaz, Sarah, Peyton, and the headmaster moved to a seating area. The headmaster pulled out a book and placed it on the center table for everyone to see.
"The powers have existed for longer than the tribes, who in the beginning fed off of them to give them more power. This explains why certain tribes have certain abilities and why certain creatures do not necessarily fit with other tribe members. One gets to chose their element unless it is chosen for them. You all will be connected only with your assigned element, but the creatures are able to chose for themselves as soon as they are able. Some even chose to rely on personal abilities that involve other items. For example, the Mepedians use invisibility, which is merely a light trick and the Danians rely on electricity to send messages to each other. The four of you might also have these abilities, but remember the basis of your powers, and respect them.
"I teach the students here to fully understand their powers before they go into a duel or into a fight, but you do not have the time. I will send my best with you to fight this wizard, but otherwise you are on your own," she whispered. Raven then returned carrying four bottles of potion. She gave the red one to Kaz, the blue one to Sarah, the green one to Tom, and a hazy gray one to Peyton. She then stood back.
"You'll be unconscious for two hours, and when you wake up, you'll have powers. Any last words?" Raven asked.
"Is it okay if you're full?" Peyton asked. "I loaded up on like six burritos before I came here, and they don't usually agree with me."

"Peyton, just drink the potion," Sarah whispered.

"Okay," he sighed.
The four then lifted their bottles and drank their potion. After a moment, they passed out and fell into their chairs with an odd look on their face.
"Thank you, Raven," the headmaster whispered. "You've brought such strong fighters, except for the fat one. He we may have a problem with, but the rest can tackle the demon that is trapping everyone outside of this world."

"I'll watch over them. Are you making them figure out the powers on their own?" Raven asked. The headmaster nodded.
"Leave them in the forest with their devices. Download this file onto each of them. Inside is everything they'll need to know to understand their powers. When they are ready, apparate to the forest and tell me immediately. I'll hold those powerful enough here until they are fully prepared. Hurry, now, we only have an hour."

Raven conquered each person individually, taking Peyton first and ending with Sarah. She then downloaded the files using her powers, and then she went back to the castle's highest towers to watch the group as they awakened to discover amazing powers. The biggest problem with waking up with these powers would be that that Raven separated them, so they would wake up alone.
