Introduction
***
The Land of Elenia was once a peaceful world, the different elemental races working together once they set their differences aside to make a better future. Different races even forming friendships and more between other races. Apart from the different elemental races, the Land of Elenia was also separated into two kingdoms, The Kingdom of Darkness and Kingdom of Light. Despite their differences, they kept a peace between each other. But this time of bonding and peace was coming to an end when a dark threat emerged. One that began once the ruler of the Kingdom of Darkness was assassinated and his son took the throne, bringing about a Dark Age within Elenia.
Under the Rule of King Rune, The Dark Kingdom began a surprise conquest of all Elenia. This surprise move caught the other races off guard, allowing him to quickly capture almost half of all of Elenia under his power. By this time, the Kingdom of Light managed to unite the elemental races to create a force to fight back. But the King, Rune, had managed to gain forbidden power that he had been using to create a military power of dark soldiers and generals, being a strong match for even the combined races. The Kingdom of Light was left with one choice, a legend of 6 gems, each kept safe within each race's temples. This legend showed signs of hope, but also of fear, since the legend spoke of a Dark Gem as well, leading to believe that this gem is the source of power that the Kingdom of Darkness is using to create their army. But thankfully, the Kingdom of Light and the 4 Elemental races have gained their Gems. As they were found, the Gems chose themselves a wielder to use it's powers at it fused into it's new host's body. Now with their "Chosen", the united races plan to make a comeback in this war. But an unexpected event takes place that as one of King Rune's sons leaves his kingdom. The reason was never found out by anyone. Some believe that the prince, cause of what his race has done so far, is simply wishing to turn against his own father, like Rune before him. But little do they know, the Prince, Ryu, escaped with the Dark Gem, having been chosen by it as the other 5 have done.
Now the biggest question is made. Will the other races trust the Prince of their enemy? Or will they continue their attack on their own without the help of the 6th wielder of the Gems?

The Plot Thickens
Legend says when 6 gems are brought together, they can bring about a great change to the world. However, whether thatโs true or not remains to be seen. The 6 gems of power and their 6 chosen wielders have come together to bring peace, but nothing is ever so straight forward in the time of warโฆ
They all ascended from different backgrounds, united by the call of the gems in a place called Rivercliff. In this grave time, challenges arose when Tess Liadan, the chosen of Light, Dugon Stonesworth, the chosen of Earth, Crim, the chosen of Fire, and Prince Ryu Striker of Dark Elenia, the chosen of Darkness, came together. They were quickly thrown into the chaos of a battle against one of the eight deadly commanders of King Runeโs army. Allied with an appointed knight and guardian from the Light Elenian Kingdom, Sir Sydo Reemdel, they defeated the commander, and escaped with their lives. All the while a young girl named Marina Caspian, also the chosen of Water, discovered a man looking to restore the honor of his clan. This man was called Zetiskue Krovi.
After barely evading death from the blades of Dark Elenian soldiers, Zet and Marina rushed to the aid of Dugon and Tess. Then soon after when Crim rescued both Sydo and Ryu, Marina took the task of helping to heal the five soon-to-be allies. The last wielder to be found was a young woman named Raiyla Vaupen, and she was the chosen of Wind. She journeyed far and wide across Light Elenia, however she barely made it to their camp before passing out. As they all scattered to help one another and gather food, introductions were held, and bonds were formed.
All was not well though. When Sydo learned of Zetโs family name, the guardian decided to confront him. In the past Zetโs ancestor was deemed a traitor for slaughtering his allies to achieve power. Zet denounced those accusations toward his family as a whole, and bickered with Sydo. The two men were broken apart by Raiylaโs words of truth, and they both realized it would be better to work together. At least for now.
Once everyone was healed and together again, they decided upon their next target. The Light Elenian Capitol. Zet and Ryu would surely be un-welcome there, and even Crim may receive grief if found out. However that almost seems like the least of their problems. Not everyone can control the gems yet, and their teamwork needs much work. However, if they can band together as one, they might just be able to overcome this war after all. Perhaps theyโll just die in the process, or maybe even the gems will consume them.
Well only one way to find out what happens next. And so now, their journey truly begins.

World
Elenia has different land terrains to go with the elements of the four races, but during this war, with the Kingdom of Light and Kingdom of Darkness having half control over this land, the world is practically divided. the side the Kingdom of Light controls has kept it's natural landmarks, while the half the Kingdom of Darkness has gained has turned the land barren. The earth torn, the waters dried, and the plant life dead,; a typical wasteland with dark clouds overhead.

They also have fins along the side of their arms and behind their legs, used for swimming. Another thing about their race is that there are more females then males.
Blazians - The Race that bonds with Flames. They are a race known for their pride and fighting strength. Living at home in the dessert regions, they live off of military and marketing businesses. A feature they all have though is that their right arm is reptile like, scaled a bit, with claws. Also, there are more males then females in their race.
Sorians - The race that bonds with the Sky. They are a race known for their speed and agility. Living at home in the jungle and forest, they live off of hunting, planting, and medication. A feature their body has is a pair of wings on their backs, just big enough for gliding, and smaller, fin like wings on the side of their arms.

What's that matter? Are you in some sort of shock that this isn't the Ryu you once knew?
He knew about the other Ryu, he seemed to know him well... surely that meant the real Ryu was still there? But she didn't have time to consider it as the Terran stopped Ryu attacking her, moving out the way just before Zet intervened.
She knew that Zet had stopped the attack to protect her, but it meant they had more time to try and find out what was happening with Ryu. Marina felt sure that the real Ryu was still inside his body, maybe just the magic of the demon was holding him back. If they pushed hard enough, it might be possible to bring him back into control. She didn't want to kill him, not while there was still the possibility to help him.
Then Ryu dissappeared again. Her hand tightened on her whip as she stared around, hearing his voice but not spotting him until the dark sphere started to form.
Ryu's power was like nothing she had ever seen before, if she didn't know better she'd have believed that it was the power of the dark gem. But Arienna had that so how could he have power like this? What was giving him this energy?
As she saw sparks of dark magic flowing in all directions, seeing the damage it caused, she knew they had to do something. It didn't take a genius to work out that the sphere could cause alot of damage to the area, and the civilians wouldn't have been able to move that far away so they may still be in the line of fire.
Her eyes suddenly hit the floor, noticing one of the puddles in the street... and she had an idea.
"Zet, I need you two to stay behind me." She said, stepping in front of the two men and putting her whip back in her belt.
When Ryu launched the sphere, she lifted her hands in front of her and a large, thick wall of water formed in front of them, stopping the sphere before it could hit them. Some of the surrounding buildings still got damaged but the wall stopped the worse of it.
Marina felt the force of it but held her position, her hands shaking slightly with the effort. This was the first time she had really used the water gem's magic and she knew she wasn't strong enough to dispel the magic. But if she held it back long enough, Marina was sure she could rob it of enough force to prevent any innocent lives being lost.

Ragnar's face snapped upwards to the voice, his dreads flailing around his head, readying his glaive for a throw, but this time he was aiming for a non-lethal area, Ryu's upper thigh. However, he didn't toss the glaive, instead waiting to see what the demon would do, as well as his former friends. Particles of unstable energy began to form in Ryu's right hand, bits of it sparking off and colliding into nearby buildings and the village wall, causing bits to shatter and fall off. Ragnar doubted that it would cause him anything more than a few scrapes, but he knew it would hurt the other two, who were sure to have a much smaller amount of damage they could take. But, he was surprised when the Aquarian stepped in front of the both of them, and told them to stay put, before forming a wall of water just in time to block the sphere of chaotic energy.
"What do you two want to do to him? Is there a plan?" Ragnar asked, the first words he had spoken to either of them. If this was their friend, or had been before he became possessed or whatever, they definitely wouldn't want him killing Ryu. But if he kept on acting like this, Ragnar wouldn't have much of a choice.

Ryu's attack was reckless, and meant to just destroy and kill. They couldn't let his attack go through, but what could he do? Melee attacks and even at the range he could throw his daggers, there was nothing he could do to stop this. That's when Marina stepped up. This was the first real time he had witnessed the power of a gem in action. It was really an amazing sight to behold. "Marina..." Was all he could say as she blocked Ryu's attack. He didn't have the time to sit there and discuss how cool that was though, if Ryu had to concentrate even a moment on his attacks then Zet saw the opening. Him and the Terran needed to keep the pressure on him. Don't give him a chance to gather himself, and don't give him more then a split second response time. They weren't going for the killing blow, just enough for Ryu to slip up. Maybe even drawing his attention would allow Marina to overcome the attack she was holding at bay easier.
When the Terran spoke Zet looked at him for a moment only. "We need to stop him. I'd prefer to knock him out and try to capture him, to see if we can retrieve the friend who may still be inside of him. However, if that isn't able to happen... We can't let him kill anyone else. I think we can keep the pressure on him, and hope to see an opening or a slip up. Capturing is much more difficult then trying to kill someone." he last part was loud enough for the Marina and the Terran to hear, but was more to himself.
Zet sprinted in forward. He pulled two of his throwing Daggers and threw them straight for Ryu, after amplifying them with his ability. His sleeves were almost completely soaked at this point, and he could really start to feel the pain. He was used to it though, and could fight through it. The Daggers were headed straight for Ryu. He wouldn't want to be hit with them, since they could pierce steel in their current condition. They were merely distraction tools though. His main target was Ryu's leg. He whipped the chain he still held around and straight at Ryu's leg. He was hoping for it to wrap around Ryu's leg and he could tear him down from the sky, slamming him into the ground. Then it would be up to the Terran to keep the pressure on Ryu. Of course Ryu would probably retaliate somehow on his own. Zet was kind of fearful that he'd channel some of those sparks through his chain. However if he brought Ryu to the ground, it would be worth taking the hit. It wasn't one that would kill him, he knew that for sure. Zet could take a beating and got stronger from them. As long as they pierced his skin that is.

Ryu growled more, almost monster like as he forced himself off the ground, glaring at Zet. "Your dead!!" Once he yells that, a swarm of ten blades, all beonging from the soilders her had killed, appeared around Ryu, all covered in a dark aura and all aimed straight at Zet. Filled with rage, he sends the wave of blades at Zet in high speed.

But she had noticed Zet moving towards Ryu so she needed to keep it up, if only to buy him a bit more time.
It was hard to believe they had been reduced to this, fighting their friend. How had this happened to Ryu? No matter what they did, he just didnโt change back to the way he was. Surely he wasnโt completely lost? There had to be a chance.
Marina heard Ryu shout and suddenly felt the force of the sphere lesson, realising that he must have lost focus on the energy. Gritting her teeth, she pushed as hard as she could with the water, finally dispelling the sphere altogether but almost collapsing in the process. It was way too much of a drain to her system to use that much magic.
Closing her eyes a moment and taking several deep breaths, she tried to regain some strength. Even she could tell the battle was far from over.
Her head snapped around as she heard Ryu's words, seeing the blades heading towards Zet.
"ZET!"
Using what little energy she had left, Marina sent a ball of water towards the blades, trying to knock them off course.
