Hide row

“Ugh, damn, a dead end!” The boy thought as he turned in horror to face the soldiers with steel armor, as they aimed their guns at him. In rain, and lightning flashes, the soldiers were like terrible demons stretching out their claw. Without, warning, the boy’s blue clothes turned turquoise, his light blue eyes turned a brightly colored ocean blue and glowed with his hair, as it changed from black to cerulean. The boy snapped, his fingers in front of the soldiers, the rain began to swirl in a small wave around the soldiers, who were obviously confused. “STEP ASIDE!” yelled a voice from behind the soldiers. The soldiers all moved aside proudly stating “sir” as he proceeded past them, a figure appeared from the shadows of the dark night. The outline of the figure’s: clothes, hair, and eyes began to glow a bright purple. “You!-“barked the glowing blue boy as he raised his hands to his chest then out towards the glowing purple man. Instantly the rainwater all around swirled into individual and violent twisters focusing their attack on the purple man. His reactions were quick and precise, he moved just when he was about to get hit. Water splashed on the ground ferociously shaking the areas around. Some rain became sharper than most blades, slicing the tops of houses with clean cuts as the purple man evaded. The boy in blue was riding on top of the water, controlling the ferocious waves that thrashed about. In midair a wave turned into a hand clenched the purple man in its grasp. “I’ll kill you Flick!” Screamed the boy in blue, when the man in purple replied, “Hide, you were always the weakest out of all of us!” without warning a lightning bolt came from the sky and engulfed the water hand, channeling back to the boy in blue, who let out a scream as he was being electrocuted. Darkness began to fill the corners of his eyes as he could no longer hear himself yell. He could feel himself fall as his consciousness faded into a complete darkness.
“So this is the Aqua Mani…Hide Row.” “Is he really that much of a threat to us?” “Of course, he is much more trouble than he appears, but not to worry, he was always the weakest.” “Is that so?” “Yes, he couldn’t even beat the fire mani, which he is supposed to be strong against.” “So come, Flick, we have plans for the fire mani’s in the northern parts of the Lotus Plains” “Yes, sire.”
Ugh….who….who’s there? Hide muttered as he struggled to stand. The sound of silence was broken by the sounds of dripping water. Looking around the room through the bars on the cage, he sat down and tried to think of a plan to escape. After several minutes of pondering, Hide stood and tried to activate his mani mode, only to discover an agonizing jolt of electricity waiting to shock him. Hide flung back against the cage with a thud which caused him to cough small amounts of blood. In pain Hide clutched his sides, which were injured after he fell to the ground unconscious. Feeling regret, he began to wish he had never separated with his friends, who were traveling with him and the water mani at the time. Hide slowly regained his steady breathing and closed his eyes.

It was nice outside, yellow-green grass swayed in a pleasant breeze across the Lotus Plains as the young leader of the water mani tribe walked in front of the hundreds of water mani’s, leading them to the fire mani city. Hey, Erik, why don’t you go ahead and tell them were outside of the city walls. Erik nodded, then turned around and yelled the message, the water mani’s responding with a massive cheer celebrated by playing music, some dancing as they walked. A group of children ran up to the young leader and joyfully asked, “Master, will you teach me about the mani?” A woman ran up behind them “Oh-“ she exclaimed “I’m sorry young master, I’ll keep better track of these hooligans.” The young leader smiled replied with a chuckle “No, no its quite alright, I could use the company!” The woman then nodded and returned where she was previously. “Does mani mean tribe?” asked a curious little girl from the group of children. “No, not exactly, mani is short for manipulator.” The young leader replied in a soft and calm voice. “Oh….then, how many mani types are there?” another child asked, sounding confused. “Well, there’s one of each element, the elements revolve in a circle balancing the power between them. “The young leader pulled a parchment with a diagram drawn on it. “The balance of elements: water beats fire, fire beats ice, ice beats wind, wind beats earth, earth beats lightning, and lightning beats water.” “Ok, thanks!” and with that, the children all ran off. Erik turned and looked at the young leader “Wow you really have a knack for that.” “Thanks.”

The gates to the city of fire mani then opened before them, they were led by a parade to the top of the great stone steps where the leader of the fire mani would greet the of the leader of the water mani. “Thank you, water mani, for traveling so far, to visit us!” Announced the fire mani leader in a powerful welcoming voice, “Here you are our honored guests, and I do ask that you please, make yourselves at home.” The fire mani welcomed “But first, take some time to know your fire mani brothers and sisters, because all mani are connected, through the great balance that intertwines us all.” The fire mani’s tone then changed “The fire mani are in a golden age!” he exclaimed, pausing for effect “We have reached an all time high in power, and why I invited you here in the first place, I want to see if this power could defy the element balance itself, and so, I challenge your leader, to a battle of honor, the significance of the element balance lies in the hands, of your leader.” The young leader looked at the fire mani in suprise, as he did not know that he was there to fight the fire mani leader. “Now please, my fellow mani, enjoy your stay.” And with that the fire mani and the water mani leaders both disappear into the fire mani temple.

That Night

“Wow I never thought I would be this bored.” Erik says with a sigh as he looks toward the fire mani temple. Tight security, only a cunning and devilishly good looking master of stealth could get past that.” Erik approaches the barred gates and swiftly snatches a tool from his kit, spinning it on his finger and putting it away just as quickly. Carefully removing the square that he silently cut, he slips in past the guards unnoticed. Stopping at a patch of grass he examines the area. “Hmmm there is grass with rocks scattered over the yard, and bars on each side so no going around it.” Erik brainstormed for a minute “Grass makes noise when you move, so I’ll have to jump from stone to stone and then scale up the wall to a balcony that isn’t too steep to climb up to.” Erik leaps from stone to stone without wavering. Reaching for a bottle and some leaves he places the gel in the bottle on both sides of the leaves, and uses them like a suction cup to scale the wall to a nearby balcony. Peeking through the open balcony door, Erik notices that there are shadows on both sides of the lit hallway, and as smoothly as they come he slides through the shadows and into the next room. “Now I just have to…” Erik covers his mouth in shock upon the sight of the fire mani leader snoring, fast asleep in his bed. “Oh, ****.” Erik thought as he opens another door and leaves the room only to realize he ended up in a closet. After struggling for a minute to find a light, he tripped, his fall revealing a secret room of treasure that made his mouth water like a dog. “No, I shouldn’t…well…maybe just a few things…” *Plunder* “WOAH!”

Meanwhile…

“The fire mani challenging me…he must be stronger than ever…no matter, the elements wont let me down…but what if I lose? What if I’m not strong enough!” frustrated with thinking, the young leader stops pacing and throws himself on the bed staring at the ceiling. “What should I do?” “I would decline the challenge and leave along with the rest of the water mani.” Erik suggests while leaning against the wall just outside of the balcony. “I don’t have time for your jokes right now Erik!” snaps the young leader, “You mean you don’t have time for friends!?” There was a pause between them, the young leader could feel his heart turn black. “No I don’t.” “But I found something-” “Please leave, or I’ll call the guards.” Erik changed his expression immediately, “Fine, you know what, go ahead, fight the fire mani leader, but don’t expect me to be there when you lose.” And just as Erik is about to leap off of the tiny balcony, he turns his head “Just remember, we were friends before you became a mani leader.”

The day of the duel

“Hurry everybody hop to it grab your elements communication orb and find a place to be the battle we’ve all been waiting for is here, people literally flooding the stadium to see it in person and others rushing for orbs to view this rare event!” The young leader prepared himself for battle as he tried to calm his nerves. “I will win, what am I so nervous for?” Walking out into the boiling sun on top of the massive rooftop battle arena the crowd roared with excitement. “3, 2, 1, FIGHT!” the fire mani leader turned his short red hair into scarlet with a glow, along with his red dragoon armor and eyes. The young leader glowed with his blue colors. In the middle of the battle field the 4 way spring of water leading to 4 different corners of the battlefield was the water mani’s weapon. Then as fast as the eye can blink the fire mani rushed towards the water mani with his lance formed out of fire attempting to impale him. Using water 4 spiraling currents that act like they have a mind of their own, the water mani smashed into the fire mani. Unaffected, the fire mani hurled a palm of fire at the water mani. The water mani dodged but the fire spread shooting up like a rocket and hit the mani right in the stomach. “Why, Char, are we having this pointless fight?” the mani leader sputtered, blood sliding down chin. “You’re not even trying, fight me.” Char leaped up and thrust his lance in the ground flames shot towards the mani leader “YOU’VE CHOSEN TO DIE LIKE A FOOL HIDE!!!” PSHhhhhhhh the sound of steam shot from the place where Hide was. “It’s over you can’t survive that.” Char boasted. WHIPASH as water from the smoke attached itself to Char’s lance, snapping it in two. “You want me to fight? I’LL MURDER YOU!” Hide screamed as his intent to kill Char skyrocketed. Water attached

itself to char binding him, as Hide summoned water on his arms to act as blades, piercing Chars red armor and causing him to bleed from two deep wounds. Hideaki, riding on the waves he created used water from them to create three copies of himself with blade arms made of water. Each one rushed at Char from a different angle. Just before the water copies struck Char a massive ring of fire to all directions turned them to steam. “Folks this match is heating up its making me sweat buckets of water!” “Oooh that has got to hurt, Char just interrupted Hide’s wave and struck him in his midair fall!” “The crowd is cheering like crazy! He blocked it! I don’t believe it!” “It looks like its going to be a close one, they both look exhausted!” “Hide you give the mani a bad name, you’re the weakest mani leader out of them all!” Char taunted “I’m sorry that blood is by accident!” Hide cleverly replies “So ignorant, 1000 suns: Fire wyvern!” A giant dragon appears around Char, its neck growing in size until it looks like a bubble, then releasing an incredible spitfire Hide desperately gathers water to block it with. A white flash causes everything to blur….”Folks, this match is over!”
Hide wakes up in his cage, remembering he is a prisoner. He is reminded of a pain in his side as he tries to move too suddenly. With a heavy sigh Hide leans against the cage. “I’m no mani leader…” “That’s right… You’re just Hide.” Replies a familiar voice. “Long time no see pal!” Erik says while hanging upside down on top of the cage. Hmm “Hey, how come they have you glued to the top of the cage?” “uh-oh.” Erik says as he slips and falls catching onto the bottom of the cage. Erik pulls out a tiny knife and quickly cuts the bottom of the cage. “Hurry up, I’m supposed to meet this chick, and I heard you were in town, but this is not the place I want to meet her cause, I might be getting lucky!”
