Fire, Earth, Air and Water

Dyfro began to move in a fluid dancing motion, avoiding the falling hail. He saw a fire spirit, weakened from the rain, being pounded by the ice. Dyfro moved in closer and tried to help the injured spirit, but another fire spirit arrived, and began to attack Dyfro, forching him to move away.
 
Vendetta touched a finger off the bare stone beneath him. He plugged himself in to the Earth to try and detect the Earth's brightest area.
 
Kasumi gazed up at the hail, thinking.
Hmm... those hailstones are too small...
He closed his eyes in meditation, and used his power to increase the size of the stones, still watching the Air spirit boy.

Oh... I forgot...
He moved the hail away from the boy, so he didn't have to waste effort blocking hail.
 
((Ah, then that's okay ^^))

Reaching some trees, Istar started to search for herbs and other healing plants.

"Oh look, some Rionu berries, myth's said that it would heal burns completely, but what it really does is absorb the heat..." He muttered as he found a small plant, maybe just 5 centimeters high, with red berries. He continued walking, letting the plant grow in peace.

"Ah..." He said after a moment of walking. "Runter's berries. Exactly what I need." He picked up a plant with broad leaves and white berries. He braced himself and greased the berries on his wound. At first, it stung and hurt, but then he kind of lost the feeling in his shoulder. He tried moving it, it did still hurt, but he could endure that. He placed an arrows in his bow and shot it in a tree.

"Good enough." His aim was slightly worse, but the wind would guide it to it's target. Then he went back to the battle ground.

He saw an earth spirit and shot an arrow in it's only eye, blind, it fell into the river and drowned.
 
Vendetta felt the greatest concentration of sunrays were falling on a valley in the west. He pulled out the Tablet and wrote in the question What is this valley? The Tablet took a moment, as if to make a dramatic pause.
It is the Valley...of Death.
Vendetta blanched.
"Sounds like a fun place."
 
"Bzzt," Fade growled. He opened his mouth, and moments later, lightning-quick (obviously) lightning was shot at Zephyr's whirlwind.
 
Vendetta touched the backs of his gloves together and they started to cover his body. Soon he was cloaked in fluid, yet solid, shadow-born armour. He raised his palm and sent a pulse of energy into the ground. The pulse cracked the floor enough for Vendetta to use his powers to start drilling through. As he drilled he walked down, travelling through the Earth in his self-made tunnel. His other hand was trained behind him, sealing the tunnel as he created it.
 
Zephyr saw the lightning approaching him and increased the power of his whirlwind, but even wind was not strong enough to block lightning. He yelped as the fork of electricity him his side and spread all over his body, temporarily paralysing his physical body. He used his still-concious mind to create a gust that flew at the annoying thunder dragon.

He hoped someone would help him out before he was killed...
 
Dyfro saw an air spirit, one he had seen earlier, pinned down by lightning. Dyfro swung his arms behind him and blasted jet of water, propelling him at high speed. He crashed through the wind and lightning, snached up the trapped spirit, and, wounded, skidded to a halt, losing hold of the air spirit in the process. He lay, breathing heavily, in the ground
 
There was the sound of fighting coming from just ahead. Saria flew a bit further, then dropped onto the ground and looked.
It was loud and confusing, spirits everywhere..
There were two that looked like they needed help. She ran up to the water spirit and looked a bit lost, wondering what to do and feeling stupid.
Well, I'm useless. Do something, idiot!
Saria made up her mind and punched the ground. Two huge stone shields appeared, protecting the water spirit.

Dyfro looked up to see a confused looking spirit, in the form of an elf, standing above him.

"Where's the air spirit. Go and make sure he's OK," he panted, before rolling onto his hands and feet and attempting to stand. He did it, and looked at the side of him that had been on the ground. The lighning had burnt the robes black and the skin uderneath was torn.

It'll heal soon enough
 
"Right."
Saria turned and looked for the air spirit. After finding Zephyr, she knelt down next to him, feeling surprisingly calm.
"Are you okay? I can help you."
 
((He's not injured much, just paralysed.))

Zephyr became vaguely aware of a Water Spirit rescuing him from the lightning, and then dropping him. He then heard an Earth Spirit asking him if he was okay. Still stunned solid, he merely glanced at her with bright blue eyes and tried to tell her through that look that he was okay.
 
Fade was blown back by the gust. He did a backflip, and then righted himself. He was tired out from all the lightning.

In the meantime, he soared overhead and circled the spot in which Zephyr had been.
 
Cyra hit her head against one of the hailstones, causing it to hit a nearby Fire spirit. She was slightly dazed and began to fall, but regained herself and flew up, resting shortly on the soft cloud before taking off again. The clouds were slowly diminishing, and soon it would be sunny again. Suddenly, she caused the hail to become soft snow.
 
Kasumi saw the spirit get electrocuted, and decided to help, seeing that he was paralyzed.
He jumped on top of the earth wall, and created a thick dome of fog around the wall and spirits.

He closed his eyes in concetration, and angling the cloud particles just right, reflected the light around them, making the dome and everything in it invisible.
 
Dyfro saw the air spirit, which didn't seem to be moving. He tried to move but the blast had been powerful, and his side was still sore, making it painful to move.

A thick fog had appeared around him, and Dyfro new for the moment that himself, the immobile air spirit, and the two spirits that had come to help were all safe. But the cloud cover would only protect them from being seen directly. The cloud would be obvious, and even if it wasn't they could still be hit if an attack or spirit was to enter the cloud.

Wincing, Dyfro walked over to the air spirit. he didn't have any physical injury, and appeared to be allive, but he wasn't moble. Dyfro reached out to touch him, but pulled his hand back immediatly as an electric shock passed through him. Being a water spirit, he had always felt electrical energy more keenly than others, and there seemed to me some of that energy in the air spirit.

Taking a deep breath, Dyfro grabbed the shoulder and roared.
 
Hearing someone roaring behind him, Istar turned and saw an elf-like Water Spirit holding the Air Spirit who had spared his life before. The Water Spirit seemed to be in pain, as it roared, and small, yellow sparks emerged from his body.

Istar took an arrow from his bag, put it on his bow, then strung it.

"Prepare to die..." He murmured and let go of the arrow.
 
Dyfro couldn't hold on any longer, and separated from the air spirit, throwing it away from him as he went backwards.

An arrow shot between them, and Dyfro swung round to see the elf-form spirit facing him.

"What do you want?"
 
As soon as the arrow entered the cloud, Kasumi felt it.
"No..." he mumbled, freezing the section of the cloud around the arrowhead into a large hailstone, which weighed it down, making it land next to Zephyr.
