"No. But these cuts and bruises are why I'm back. Something crazy is coming. No, something BIG is coming."

"Uh, are we all about to just sit in a circle around a campfire and listen to his tale or something? This guy murdered hundreds of people!" Tristen asked pointing at Ethan..

"I understand, Tristen. I'm sorry. I really am. I want to be redeemed and I was in over my head. Please just listen to me." Ethan said as he sat in the grass.

Tristen stared at Ethan with anger for a minute and sighed.. "Fine."

Everybody else sat down and listened to Ethan.

Ethan began explaining the encounter he had on the moon with Xe Den.

Ethan stood up. "We have to prepare for this, guys!"

"Hah! You're going to jail, bud."

Tristen made his way towards Ethan but was stopped when Jalai grabbed his arm. He looked back, opening his mouth to protest. Jalai looked into Tristen's eyes. He closed his mouth.

"Tristen," Jalai started. "just...let him. There might actually be a big problem." Tristen looked at Ethan.

"Bruh!" Tristen said as he stomped on the ground.

Ethan laughed.

"Any funny business, Ethan, and," Tristen slammed his foot on the ground, a stone spike bursting out of the ground, stopping an inch from his neck. "You get the message."

"Yup."

"Alright. Let's get ready for the Space Police or whatever." Jalai said.

"How did they know you were on the moon anyway?" Sydney asked.

"I don't know. All I know is that this guy is looking for us and is not playing around." Ethan said.

"Remind you of someone?" Tristen said under his breath.

"Tristen, let's not be a d-" Jalai said before being interrupted.

Melissa, Cole, and Stacy Sho ran in the yard. "Huh?!" They all said at once.

"Ethan?!" Cole said surprised.

"Yup. I am here." Ethan quipped, raising his hand up.

"I thought you died?!" Melissa added.

"Nah, I almost did though, Tristen can catch you up."

"Shut up," Tristen spat at Ethan. "yeah, I can catch you up."

"So, should we kill him with our super cool new powers?" Stacy whispered to Jalai.

"Nah, Tristen tried already." Jalai responded

"Wait, powers?!" Ethan screamed.

"How'd he hear me..." Stacy uttered.

"Yes, you remember when you blew up that robot? The one with the crystal? Well, when you guys blew it up, your powers had an effect on us. Now we too have powers. They branched from your powers."

"Wait, what?!" Ethan screamed again.

"You missed a lot in the past few months." Tristen said.

"Yeah. Melissa's powers adapted from yours, Ethan. She can use acid." Cole explained.

Melissa dropped to the ground and a clear liquid dripped from her fingertips and onto a flower. The moment the liquid hit the flower, it decayed.

"My powers derive from Jalai. I can turn into gasses and manipulate the gasses in someone's body. I could literally fill a room with lethal gas if I wanted." Cole said.

"But if you do, we'd be forced to kill you." Jalai assured.

"Yes, ma'am."

"And my powers derive from Tristen," Stacy Sho shared. "I use energy. Using Earth's energy, I am able to channel some of it and..."

Stacy waved her hand and a green orb flew into a tree. The tree burst open and left shards of wood to fly everywhere.

"So. Here we are. The New Elements. It is time to save our lives!" Jalai said as she flew into the air.

"Huh," Tristen said as he side-eyed Ethan. "I guess it is."
