The great Fenghuang tucked her wings closed and stood as tall and proud as possible for a bird. She closed her eyes and nodded her head as Chesi began to talk. Up until a certain point. Frankly, on top of being indisputably the wisest sorceress in the land, Fenghuang also considered herself the most beautiful and most powerful and smartest. And most famous. And the most humble, of course. Not to mention the most gracious, as she had the tact not to call Chesi out in the middle of her explanation.

As for the others, she didn't interfere in their connecting with the summoned boys. Why would she? Although she was a little miffed that Denali had declined her want to swap charges. Then again, she couldn't deny that she already felt the draw of her element towards the reddish haired boy. Not her first choice for sure, but she supposed it could have been worse. With a sigh, she hopped towards him.

As for Eli, he had scrambled to his feet as soon as the bear appeared. His queasiness was long forgotten now in the face of talking animals, magical transformations, and imminent danger. If things had been normal, if they'd still be on Earth, he would have told everyone to jump around and shout and scare the thing off (and hoped it wasn't the 'play dead' kind of bear). It was way too late for that now though. Besides, his pals were actively fighting it. With elemental powers!

So long story short, everything was happening so much.

And Eli couldn't just stand around and do nothing! Conner and Gray were casting magic, David and Milo were pretty much flying and cutting, and even Noah was chucking shit. Eli wanted to help out too.

He looked down at Fenghuang as the colorful little bird approached him. Their eyes met, and Eli held his hand out towards her.

"We're partners, right? Everyone else teamed up with a little animal and we're the only ones left," he said. Fenghuang's eye twitched. "You guys are magic, or something? Give me some of your power so I can help my friends!"

The bird jumped up, hovering the air in front of Eli. Her feathers began to shimmer until they heated up, flames licking the edges of her wings. Eli looked on with wide eyes and braced himself, but with a small flash Fenghuang dismissed her fire and flew up to land on Eli's head. She made his hair even more of a mess, bending down to peck his forehead. "Ow!"

"How dare you speak to me so casually? And you demand things? Of me?" She scoffed, incredulous. "It is true we are connected, but I will have you prove yourself before lending you my power!"

"H-huh?" Eli lifted a hand and rubbed the spot she'd pecked. Could she just do that? Didn't the other animals say stuff about saving this world? Although Eli was glad to be here with his friends to support them in this weird abduction, he had to wonder why he'd even been taken along if his "partner" wasn't going to help him out. "How do you want me to do that? Do you expect me to throw hands with a bear...?!"

"...'throw hands?'"

"Like, punch it? Fight it bare-handed? Pun not in-"

"Yes yes. That sounds amusing~!" Fenghuang lifted a wing to cover her mouth, muffling a pretty and petty laugh.

Fortunately, Eli was not actually dumb enough to try that. He cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted at the other boys as they fought. Offering encouragement and suggestions was apparently the only thing he could do at the moment. "This bird's not cooperating! But you got this, guys! Just get it in the snout! The snout!"

Milo vehemently denied touching an Ursa Minor. Chesi narrowed her eyes. She would accept that for the time being, but she still thought this kid was strange. “I’m watching you…”

Conner wasn’t paying attention to his dolphin companion call out Milo. He was busy studying David. He gets wings, he gets a cool sword, and no struggle with magic at all. David always gets everything. It wasn’t fair.

“Yeah, I hate Denali.” Chesi whispered. “She thinks she’s so holy because she controls the element of light. She’s a self righteous bitch if you ask me.”

An annoyed expression crossed Conner’s features. “I guess… But don’t worry about her. You’ve got me. We’ll show both of them what real power looks like!”

“Both of them? Is somebody jealous?” Chesi teased.

Conner rolled his eyes. “No… I just want to prove myself. That’s all…”

In the background, both Eli and Noah hadn’t transformed. In fact, Noah threw his little dragon friend at the bears face. That didn’t help at all.

“Guess it’s up to me…” Conner muttered. He raised his arm with the trident in his hand, and thought of a happier memory. He thought about surfing on the beach, riding the waves. Instantly, a wave of water appeared beneath him. Conner rode the wave. “Surfs up dudes!”

While riding the wave, he heard Eli shouting to aim for the snout. Conner aimed the tip of his trident directly at the bear’s snout.

The wave crashed into the bear with incredible force, sending it stumbling backward with a loud roar of pain.

As the wave subsided and the Ursa Major lay stunned on the ground, Conner hopped off, and landed gracefully. He proudly raised his trident high. “Tridents are better than swords, eh Davey?” He gloated.

“Yes yes, that was very nice.” Chesi said. “Although, you need a little more control. You could have caused a lot of collateral damage. I’m sure some of your friends got wet from that attack.”

Conner rubbed the back of his head and laughed sheepishly.

You’ll never be good enough. Conner heard in his head. He raised an eyebrow, wondering where that voice was coming from, but no one responded, so Conner shook it off.

“Alright, most of you did well…” Chesi declared, glaring at Noah and Eli who didn’t transform. “But you all have a lot to learn if you want to have any hope of saving our realm, and getting back to yours.”

She then looked at the unconscious Ursa Major. “It’s such a shame. Ursa Major are usually gentle creatures. Guardians of Celestial balance in our world. The only thing that would drive them to violence would be their young being threatened… or they have been corrupted by a dark force… That is the threat you face children. A dark entity has been unleashed, and threatens to consume and corrupt the magic of this realm. This corruption is spreading throughout Arcanum, endangering not only it’s inhabitants but the very fabric of magic that sustains us. The darkness has likely corrupted this poor creature… It has the ability to corrupt beings by amplifying their darkest tendencies and desires, bringing out the worst parts of themselves. Beings under the influence of this corruption act in ways that are harmful to themselves and others. I implore all of you to be on your guard, and don’t give in to temptation.”

But Conner wasn’t listening. He was still hearing that damn voice in his head. You’re only a burden to them. They don’t care about you at all.

“Anyway, I think it’s time we take you lot into the city.”

After attacking first, everyone else jumped into some kind of action. Gray pretty much froze afterward and watched as Conner, Milo, and David in order confronted the beast. Conner with a blast of water, Milo with cutting wind, and David with a burst of light as he slashed it with a sword. Gray just watched astonished. And couldn't help thinking how very fitting these elements were... Guess that's why they were chosen. Neither Noah nor Eli transformed but they gave their support in different and quite fitting ways especially Noah hurling one of the small creatures toward the bear. Finally, Conner came in on a wave and finished it off with a stab creature through its snout. The aftermath of the water attack doused him and snapped him out of his stupor state. He was far enough away for him to only get wet by the attack, fortunately. Standing there dripping, he listened to the dolphin creature obviously scold a few of them and explain in more detail what was happening. This was information Gray fully comprehended since the haze in his head had pretty much left after that event. His currently crimson eyes locked on to Conner as he got an odd feeling about his aloof expression. Though as he was about to speak up he felt something completely different.

The combination of too many alcoholic beverages in his system, an adrenaline dump, sudden movement, and extreme emotional stress was too much for Gray's stomach to handle. He rested an arm against a nearby tree bent over and violently vomited. After a small coughing fit, he straightened and rubbed the back of his hand across his lips. There was an awful taste in his mouth, his throat burned, and he wasn't feeling all that great but he turned back to them with his pretty standard relaxed body language.

"...... I'm never drinking more than two beers again..." He vows in a calm tone, trying to ignore the throbbing in his head. His eyes turned toward the aquatic mammal. "So basically... we need to defeat this dark entity in this place, Arcanum, that's turning normal calm beings aggressive by awaking their darker tendencies and is consuming this world's magic thus destroying it before we can return home. And we should be careful not to be pulled into the dark side ourselves. ...Honestly, this sounds straight out of a fantasy novel." And Gray would know, he read tons of novels in his free time when he had to stay home and supervise his younger siblings. After Gray summarizes the magical dolphin's spiel on their mission, he massages his aching temples as he tries to soothe his obvious hangover. While doing so he felt a slight pull on his clothes. He glanced down to see Reyenne scaling up his body.

"At least someone willing to listen and understand that fish's long-ass explanation. I think she just loves hearing her own voice." The black frog rudely stated as she continued her climb and eventually settled on Gray's shoulder. She didn't seem to be bothered by the moisture on his clothes. "I will admit you're lack of ability, Rags. You took the initiative but squandered it by doing nothing afterward. If you are going to fight then fight, otherwise just hide so you don't die gawking like a fool." It was her evaluation and advice to the teenager. Other than its haughty tone, it sounded like pretty solid advice.

"Oh... fighting is not something I'm used to, but I don't think there's anything wrong with being a support member. Also, my name is Gray, Ms. Reyenne." Despite the curtness pointed toward him, Gray kept his temperate and polite attitude towards his frog companion who seemed to come off as a cranky jaded adult. He found courteous works best with those sorts of people. Though with the annoyance he heard in her exhale after he finished talking, it currently wasn't effective.

"Whatever. Can we hurry it up and just get going to the city already?" The impatient irritation in Reyenne's voice was easy to pick up on. With that statement, she seemed done communicating with the boy as she just silently laid on his shoulder without another word. Gray held back a sigh as he strained to keep a smile on his face as stared at his animal companion. His eyes eventually turned outward.

"Is everyone okay?" Gray inquired as he let his gaze slowly scroll over everyone before pausing on Conner. There was a look of concern reflected in those bright red eyes.

... Yeah, tossing a tiny-ass lizard at the rampaging monster bear turned out to be just as effective as you'd expect — as in, not very. At all, actually. Maybe he should've thrown it at the bear's snout? According to Eli, screaming right next to him, that might've worked.

It sure worked when Conner did it, but then again, the dude did have a trident. And a tidal wave? Man... Noah looked over at his lizard, who was busily trying to eat the unconscious bear's ear or something, and wondered whether the thing could really bestow powers to him too. He wasn't... entirely convinced. The others were having actual conversations with their little Pokémon, while his was stuffing his face with a bear's earwax.

"C'mon, you'll fuck up your stomach," Noah scolded as he bent down to pry the lizard off of its 'prey'. "Like him," he jabbed a thumb over his shoulder to point at Gray. Poor guy wasn't doing so hot. Reminded him of the first time he made the guy drink.

"I'm telling you, the beer wasn't the problem here!" Noah called out to him, lizard now safely held in one hand. "The transdimensional travel was. Anyway..."

He turned over to Conner and cocked his head. "Good job, dude. Great getup, too." Despite the sarcastic sounding tone, he did mean it. It seemed like Conner could've used some compliments right now anyway, for whatever reason. Was he okay? This wasn't like the guy. "Now, uh, wanna stab that fish next? It's pissing me off."

He gestured at the condescending, floating SeaWorld escapee. The lizard, who Noah increasingly wanted to dub Dotori, but that sounded like Dorothy, so maybe Muk, fuck if he knew, in his arms roared approvingly. At last, they were on the same page about something.

"Should probably head for that city too, I'm not itching to find out whether that bear really is a gentle creature once it wakes up."

The pessimist complains about the wind;
The optimist expects it to change;
The realist adjusts the sails.


Prior to their arrival in the strange new world--Arcanum? That was what the dolphin called it-- Back on the beach. Before all of this insanity. Milo knew, without a doubt, that he wasn't the only one among his friends sitting in that space of the pessimist. With their lives all barreling headfirst at breakneck speeds in vastly different directions, it felt only natural to sit and complain, even if they all hid it. Optimism came with their arrival in the world, as they all sat expecting something to happen. Optimism came with the creatures explaining their situation. Optimism came with the imminent danger of the corrupted creature that was driven to attack them before they even had a full grasp of what the hell was going on. With everything happening all at once, it was a wild whirlwind--excuse the pun--of infinite possibilities all just out of reach. The fall of the bear was the peak of this point in their progression. The danger defeated. The adrenaline dissipating as quickly as it had come about. They were left with only that optimism. Expectation. The change they somehow knew would come. Waking up? Coming to grips? Snapping the hell out of whatever the fuck drug trip they were on?

Milo could only hope. It was that optimism he was stuck in. He found that all he could do was expect...something. Though what he expected was hard to really grasp. Naturally, it made sense to expect to be woken up from this wild dream-like series of events. He fully expected to feel the gentle shaking of David pulling him from his slumber for a morning run, just before the sun, so they could watch the sky take on a million shades of pink, orange, and violet as they raced across the sand. He expected to have water dumped on him, yanking him from unconsciousness after having passed out buried in the sand. He expected to wake up in his bed at home, his friends moved on with their lives, and he left behind...

Milo expected anything, really.

He expected the bear to regain consciousness and rip them all to shreds. He expected another, more powerful beast to come crashing out of the woods. He expected the creatures that spoke to them to laugh and turn on them in the blink of an eye. He expected the air of Arcanum to turn out to actually be poison to them and for he and his friends to suddenly start dropping like flies. He expected the elements to suddenly reject them as their wielders and blast them all into the ether. How was this optimism?

All Milo could do after Connor's defeat of the bear was just stand there. He stared at his friends. Taking in each of them and how they were holding up with all of the insanity that had befallen them. No one was alright. Absolutely no one. In the heat of the battle, sure, they have been great. But now? Anything but.

And those creatures just pushed on like all of this was normal.

Milo caught a glimpse of the moth coming near him and quickly turned its way, throwing out his hand in its direction. He had meant only to gesture for it to stay back, but a blast of wind shot out with his movement, sending the insect swirling backward like a leaf on an autumn breeze.

"Shit...sorry," he murmured, though wondered if he actually was. Sure, the creature hadn't hurt him in anyway, and sure, being afraid of bugs was no excuse to hurt one, even a large sentient one that apparently used to be a sorceress or something? But this creature was also, apparently responsible for everything he and the guys were dealing with-- As though they hadn't already been dealing with enough.

Nevertheless, Vlinderbelle merely righted herself in the air and gave a gentle sigh, "Never a worry, young one," the moth cooed softly, "You are in a very emotional state right now. It's only natural to lash out."

Milo watched the bug for a moment, still uncomfortable, then turned his attention to the others, looking over his friends once more, before focusing on the dolphin He cleared his throat as he took his turn to speak, directing his words at the aquatic creature as he absently fiddled with the fabric of his weird pants, "Um...Miss Chelsea?" he started, uncertain, then shook his head, "...wait, no, it was something else, huh? I'm sorry, I'm...not good with names-- I-I just, I...c...can we have like...five minutes to ourselves?" the question was asked with shrug as Milo spread his arms in a small gesture at him and his friends, "To like, adjust...?" he went on, "b-before you go throwing us all into...whatever's next..." with a sigh, Milo dropped his arms and looked down at his feet...or rather...his rollerblades, shuffling one uncomfortably before he went on to say, "I'll agree with Noah that we should probably get the hell outta here before that thing wakes up, but like...I dunno, can you all just like...point us in the right direction and let us have that time to each other so we can fucking wrap our heads around what the hell is going on?" his head shot up once more to meet Chesi as he threw his arms up, "For fuck's sake we just landed in an alien world, talked to a bunch of animals, got attacked by a bear, and got magic powers! I think we deserve a moment to recenter and take everything in!"

While many unfamiliar with Milo, or only familiar with him on a surface level would find this outburst out of place for him, his friends would know this state very well. A Milo Meltdown. They were rare and far between. After all, Milo was the happy-go-lucky chaos gremlin, nothing got to him. Right? Wrong. Milo was like a balloon where every hiccup in life was another puff of air blowing into it. Eventually, the pressure was just too much...

Eli waited just long enough to see that the bear wasn't going to stand back up anytime soon, then he hooked an arm around Noah's shoulders and let out a celebratory whoop. The bird on his head squeezed its talons a little tighter to avoid being thrown off by the sudden movement. Now that the action was over, the little pinpricks of pain from her claws was the final confirmation Eli needed to really, really realize this wasn't some shared dreamscape or alien illusion. Well, it still could be alien, but it wasn't an illusion.

"You guys did it!" He was glad everyone was alright. And if any of them was acting a little weird, it could be chalked up to the completely crazy experience, right? Eli felt Chesi's annoyed glare on him, which only compounded the slight guilt he felt at being unable to really help. But what could he have really done? Pushing a small grin to his face, Eli said, "I've got the next one. Miss... uh, Fenghuang will help me out."

In response to that Fenghuang huffed. Her feathers poofed out a little but she didn't argue. A little respect showed to her was a good first step to getting her charge ready for the power of fire. Although truthfully, Eli hoped there wouldn't be a next one... at least anytime soon.

He dislodged himself from Noah as soon as he heard the telltale signs of retching. Poor Gray, that was never fun. That had almost been Eli earlier, though he'd managed to keep it down. It might still be if Gray started a chain reaction. Even so he crossed the distance toward Gray and put a hand on the other boy's back, a gesture that had always made himself feel better when he was sick. As soon as he recovered, Gray went on to summarize the situation for everyone - which was great because Eli had understood about half of what was explained so far.

Sensing his apprehension, Fenghuang sighed and shook her head. If she was going to be stuck with this one, she might as well help out a little. Especially if he was going to make an effort as well. She leaned froward, spreading out one of her wings to cover the faces of herself and her charge. "I'll answer any questions you have later on," she whispered. "Do as I say and you'll be fine."

She didn't mention his friends. The other mages could handle their own boys. It was unfortunate she ended up with this boy, but it was lucky for him that he'd ended up with her - the best option, surely. Fenghuang hopped into the air, gliding down to the ground and preparing to head into the city with the everyone else.

Eli blinked. He didn't know what to make of Fenghuang and the other animals, but if they had called everyone here to save their world they were probably trying to help, in a weird way. There wasn't really any reason not to trust them. Eli looked at his friends with a shrug and a small smile. Might as well follow them, right? his expression said. Although his smile started to slip when Milo finally spoke up.

It always sucked when Milo got into this state, though for none more than the the boy himself of course. Honestly it was surprising that more of them weren't freaking out. Eli was just letting everything wash over him, letting what was happening filter into his brain then right back out of it like he usually did to stay calm. Pushing stuff off and thinking about it later was kind of his specialty. So at least he was good to try and calm Milo and anyone else down. Thank god they had the whole crew though, since there were much better people among them for this kind of thing.

"Go on ahead," Eli said to the former sorcerers. The animals might be mad (they didn't all seem like the most patient bunch), but the boys could follow at a distance for something.
