The Elements... The many forces that make up our way of life. They have also given birth to a new form of the human evolutionary genome, The Elemental.
They are beings that can control the very elements that are around us all. Since the beginning of time itself, Elementals have hid from existence, hiding throughout different periods of history. Until now...
Humans and Elementals are at constant war with each other. Experiments took place, in an attempt to discover their latent powers. It was not long until a peace treaty was formed, and Elementals were able to live in peace.
A prophecy tells of a unique individual, an Immortal. This individual is a man, a man birthed from a unknown union. And it is said, that he will lead a team of Elementals against a common threat. And will save the lives of both Human and Elemental alike.
And so begins the tale of The Masters of Elements...
Antarctica 10:27pm.
As the snow falls to the ground and the cold air runs through the night sky, a jet can be seen landing in the middle of a snowy field. The bottom hatch opens and nine individuals step out, into the cold weather.
They are called Elementals, humans with extraordinary abilities. They are on an errand for their master, to find a mysterious elemental, that has been sleeping for over one-hundred years. As the cold air runs through their skins, they find it tough to walk through the harsh conditions of the environment.
"So how far is this mountain anyway?" asked Trent, shivering from the cold air.
"Not too far, my tracker says that we should head west." said Dominic.
"What's the big deal with this immortal anyway?" Ken questioned, while adjusting his coat.
"I don't know, but Master Yuki says we need him, we find him and we bring him back to Miami with us," replied Raven, while looking at her necklace. The Elementals arrive at the location and they find a tomb made of Ice. The tombs door is decorated with the statues of the fabled Elemental Elders, the fabled creators of the elemental genome.
"That, is a big tomb!" Michael exclaims.
"You mean to tell me, our guy, that we are looking for, is inside there?" Asks Samantha.
"Yep, our immortal is in this tomb, deep down in the lower levels." says Dominic.
"So we are going underground? Oh Damn..." Trent groans.
"Luckily, I brought us all flashlights and glowsticks, as they say, always be prepared,"
said Raven. Dominic opens the door to the tomb and the Elementals enter inside the compound. As they enter, they witness the sheer size and scope that incases the tomb, being in pure awe of it's construction.
"Wow, so this is his tomb huh?" Jordan asks with amazement in her voice.
"This looks like more of a cavern than a tomb." Bryant replies, touching the surface of the walls.
"Well appearances can be deceiving..." Raven retorted. The group ventures deeper into the tomb. When they get down to the lower levels, they see a coffin made of crystalized ice in the middle of a platform.
"This must be what we are looking for." Ken guesses.
"It seems to be covered in some form of ice." Shawn says, inspecting the coffin from head to toe.
"Not a problem, stand back..." said Samantha. Samantha punches the Ice Coffin has hard as she could, but it does not budge or break.
"Ouch! That Ice is dense as hell!" Samantha shouted, holding her hand in slight pain.
"She's right, this ice is not normal, even I can't manipulate it." explained Shawn, who tried to lower the ice, but to no avail.
"Hey guys, look at this!" Dominic exclaimed, calling everyone over to the rear of the Ice Coffin.
"What is it?" asked Raven.
"It looks like a seal of some kind." says Dominic, investigating the coffins rear.
"There's another one here on the left side." retorts Bryant.
"There's a seal on every side, the question is, what are they for?" questioned Jordan. Dominic dusts off the snowy powder on the seal and he sees a handprint, with a colored gem inside it.
"Well people, I think I know how to unseal this coffin. It appears that these seals react to our elemental powers, if we put our hands on them, the ice may melt." explains Dominic. The nine elementals place their hands on each seal respectively, bringing forth the energy of the gems. Seconds later, the energy from the gems smoothly transfers into the ice, melting it quickly.
"Wait... Do you guys feel that?" Trent asked with caution in his voice. Suddenly, the cavern begins to violently shake, with the force of an earthquake. The tomb begins to form cracks in it's walls, beginning to collapse on itself.
"Everybody get out here!" screamed Bryant.
As the tomb cracks open, shards of ice start to fall from the ceiling. As Raven runs for cover, an giant ice pebble hits her in the head. As Raven slowly gets to her feet, a large ice rock begins to fall. Just when it is about to crush her, Shawn shatters it with a quick gesture of his hand.
"Thanks!" Raven says, as Shawn helps her up.
"Let's get out of here." Shawn replies. The group quickly escapes the tomb, dodging various debris of ice and snow. As they check to see if everyone made it out, a shadowy figure appears in the smoke like fog.
"Guys look!" shouts Raven, looking out towards the distance. The shadowy figure appears from the fog, it has the appearance of man. The man was wearing only black trunks, with tattoos covering his chest and arms. The man suddenly falls down to the snow. As he lays there unconscious, Raven tends to him.
"Get the jet guys, I think we found him." said Raven. Dominic and the others get the specimen on the jet and they fly back to their home, Miami Florida.
While on the jet, Dominic and place The Man on top of an operating table. Raven looks at The Man inspecting his tattoos. She wonders about their meaning and what they symbolize.
"These look like tribal tattoos, but they are not those at all." Raven takes a closer look and she turns on the ultraviolet light to get a deeper idea of the substance of the tattoos.
"Strange... no ink marks. Looks like our mystery man tats are birthmarks." confirms Raven.
"Hey, the mark on his chest looks like some sort of diamond, I wonder what that means?" Dominic wonders.
"I don't know, but it looks like we have a lot to learn about this guy." Raven tells Dominic.
"I just hope our Master is right about this guy. If he is not, I officialy reserve the right to call him crazy." Ken says to the group.
"He has to be right, I don't doubt him for a second. Besides, he looks pretty cute for a man who was asleep for many years." Jordan comments, making everyone else, except Raven, roll their eyes in annoyance.
Moments later, the group arrives at a large penthouse, in the middle of a beach near south central Miami. Landing behind the penthouse, they take The Man inside the structure, so he can get some heat in his system and eventually wake up.
***
Five days later, The Mysterious Man awakens in a room and he looks around, wondering where he is.
"What? Where am I? What the hell is going on?" The Man asked himself, observing his surroundings. The specimen sees a button on the wall near a door. He pushes the button, thus opening it. The Man ventures off into the living room area of the large penthouse.
"Good morning Mr. Elemental." said Dominic, who enters the room with Raven and the rest of the group.
"Don't worry, you are among safe individuals. Why don't we take you back to your room..." Raven assures the man. As Raven grabs The Man by the wrist, he kicks Raven hard in the stomach, sending her flying through a wall.
"Raven!" exclaims Trent. Ken quickly turns around, to see that The Man has disappeared.
"Raven, are you okay?" asked Dominic.
"We have to find him, before he causes anymore damage!" Raven says, struggling to get to her feet. Meanwhile, on the streets of Miami, The Man then sees a Macy's store. He walks in and the store clerk notices him, appearing shocked by his appearance.
"Hello, can I help you?" The Clerk asks the man.
"I need clothes, do you have any?" questioned The Man.
"Yes, what are you looking for? A suit? A tie?" The Clerk asked. The Man picks out a black T-shirt, black Levi's jeans and Black 13 sized Jordan Air shoes. The Man walks away, stealing the clothes.
"Hey! I need you to pay for those..." The Clerk says, while grabbing The Man's arm. In a reflex, The Man throws the clerk into a wall, knocking him unconscious. He quickly runs out of the store and teleports onto a nearby skyscraper.
While on top the skyscraper, The Man puts on the clothes he stole. A jet appears in the sky, sending down Raven, Ken and Dominic to the rooftop.
"Stop right there!" shouts Ken.
"Who the hell are you people? What is this place?" The Man asks.
"You are in Miami Beach Florida. My name is Raven Kyoto, these are my friends Dominic Dragonheart and Ken Lionheart. We mean you no harm." Raven explains.
"How do I know that I can trust you?" asks The Man.
"Because we're elementals, just like you," retorts Dominic.
"What the hell are you talking about?" The Man questions.
"Come with us and we will tell you everything you want to know." Raven says calmly to him.
"Thanks, but I'll pass." The Man says scornfully, turning his back and preparing to walk away.
"Hey! Where do you think you're going?" Ken asked, while grabbing the man's arm.
"Take your hand off me..." Warned The Man, with intensity glowing in his eyes. When Ken ignites his hand, The Man blocks his punch and he kicks Ken in the side, sending him into a billboard sign.
"Ken!" Raven exclaimed. As Raven went to Ken's aid, Dominic uses his hands to trap The Man in a rock like clasp.
"Ken's okay but he kicked him hard in the ribs," says Raven.
"Well I managed to trap our guy, he's not going anywhere." assures Dominic. When Dominic lowers the rocky clasp, they then see that The Man is gone, not leaving behind a trace.
"Shit! Where did he go?" wonders Dominic.
Raven looks down the left ledge and she sees the mysterious man, on top of a flying truck.
"Wait here, keep the engine on the jet running." orders Raven.
"What are you gonna do?" asks Dominic.
"I gotta catch him somehow, I can't let him get away!" Raven dives backwards off the edge of the skyscraper and she lands on top of the truck, confronting The Man.
"I thought I told you no thanks!" The Man snarls.
"Yeah well, I am a stubborn bitch. So it seems to me, you have two options; option A: You come with us quietly... Or option B: I'll make you!" The Man then tries to punch her, but Raven quickly blocks it.
"Wrong choice!" The Man and Raven begin to trade attacks rapidly with each other. Raven manages to hold her own against him, but the mysterious man overpowers Raven with a vicious punch to her chest. As the mysterious man punched her, electricity emitted from his hand upon impact.
"Damn! That hurt." growls Raven.
"Last chance to give up and leave me be!" The Man warns her.
"I don't give up that easily!" Raven suddenly uses her elemental power, to slide over to The Man, thus tackling him in the process.
When Raven tackles the man, they fall off of the flying truck and onto a flying car. Raven places the mysterious man in a Rear Naked Choke, but the man bites her in the arm and he throws her, into an incoming flying taxi cab.
Recovering from the crash, Raven blasts The Man with a water beam, that renders him stunned. Jumping from the taxi, Raven binds water to her feet to dropkick the man in the face, knocking him down. Raven mounts on top of the man, pinning him down by placing her hand on his chest.
"Do you yield?" asks Raven.
"You fight well, for a stubborn bitch."acknowledges The Man, as Raven let's him up to his feet.
"I had a good teacher, you're no slouch yourself." Raven flirts, with a grin.
"Look, I don't know where I learned how to fight like that, I don't know how I even got these powers of some sort, hell, I don't even know my name." says The Man.
"Well, maybe our master can help you," Raven assures him.
"This master of yours, what makes you think he can help me?" asks The Man.
"He said he knows a lot about you, that he has spent his whole life looking for you." explains Raven.
"If he has any information about who I am, then I suppose it is best that you take me back to your home." realizes The Man.
Raven nods her head in acknowledgement.
"Okay, guys, bring the jet around." she says into a wrist communicator. Ken and Dominic bring the jet around to the damaged car and Raven brings the man onto the jet. While flying back to the penthouse, the elementals try to talk to The Man.
"I apologize for attacking you guys." The Man says.
"Hey man, it's all good, you were just scared and confused. I promise you, all the answers you seek will come to you." says Ken.
"You can trust us, you can trust me." said Raven, grabbing the man's hand, as a sign of trust and saftey. The jet then arrives back at the penthouse, with the others waiting outside. The jet carefully lands on the landing pad, opening the doors for the team.
"We're here, don't worry, you're safe," Raven assures the man. The team exits the jet and they walk towards the penthouse elevator. As they enter the elevator, The Mysterious Man starts thinking three questions to himself... What am I, who am I and what is my purpose?
