Prologue 1: The Royal Elements' Introduction

A black void full of stars fills up the view of a few who have come together to watch something they created unfold. The Earth is seen in this sea of stars as various dark entities tower above the planet. As the figures loom over the planet, a woman's voice begins to ring through the void.

"In our world, there are various dangerous monsters and creatures that desire to disturb our peace. They wish to take over the world and rule over us. They want to make the Earth their own and ruin it for everyone else."

The entities grab onto the Earth, shaking it around and fighting for it. The woman's voice continues. "However, there's someone here to stop them. It's our mission to prevent these demons from accomplishing their goals."

The figures are suddenly hit and disintegrated by a series of fireballs, lightning bolts, rocks, and water projectiles. "Together, we control the five elements of the planet. Under our rule, we vow to use our power to protect the Earth's fragile peace from these beasts." The voice says.

Everything goes black as the silhouette of five figures resembling princesses appears. The voice, coming from the central silhouette, talks. "Now, how about we introduce ourselves to you?"

A yellow spotlight appears under the middle-left shadow, revealing a princess with blonde hair tied into a long ponytail that flutters in the air. She puts her hand on her yellow dress. "I'm Royal Air, ruler of the winds!" the blonde woman explains.

Royal Air holds out her hand and swiftly blasts a cloud out of nowhere. "I'm the one who blows away any foes!"

Then, a second, blue spotlight unveils the middle-right shadow. The second princess has medium-long, wavy blue hair, blue eyes, and a dress that resembles a waterfall. "I'm Royal Water, ruler of the seas!"

Just like Royal Air, Royal Water spouts out a small geyser from her hand, this time a lot more slowly. "I'm the one who sinks our enemies."

A third, red spotlight reveals the rightmost shadow, showing another princess with short, red hair that swoops to the left of her face. On her, she has a warm, red princess dress. "I'm Royal Fire, ruler of the flames!"

Royal Fire points up and summons a flame from her index finger. "I'm the one who turns any opposers into ashes!"

The fourth spotlight appears to the far left, this time being green, showcasing a green-haired princess with a feathered hairstyle and green eyes. Her dress is green. "I'm Royal Earth, ruler of the stones!"

Royal Earth creates a rock out of thin air and tosses it up a few inches before catching it. "I'm the one who grounds our opponents!"

Finally, the last spotlight appears in the center, showing the last princess, who has dark, purplish hair and grape eyes. She has a purple dress that’s more decorated than the other Royal Elements. "And I'm Royal Aether, ruler of the stars. I'm the leader who oversees the elements and voids any adversary's takeovers."

Royal Aether pulls out a purple, ornate wand with a sculpture of the sun on its top and summons a nebula out of it. "Together, we form..."

"...The Royal Elements!" The five say in unison.

  "We're magical women who vow to protect Earth from domination and destruction." Royal Aether adds.

"If any world-threatening horrors or house pests is going about in your area, feel free to contact us below!" Royal Air adds as a phone number appears below her. "We're the Royal Elements, and we'll overthrow anyone who gets in our way!"

"And if you want to harm anyone, then we'll kick your butt!" Royal Fire continues.

After Royal Fire spoke her last few sentences, everything turned to black.

The five Royal Elements are sitting in front of a TV, staring at it. Inside the home they're in, there is a light purple wallpaper all over the place as well as two purple couches. Royal Aether looks at her other partners. "So, how was the commercial, everyone?"

"It wasn't bad," Royal Earth replied. "Maybe we can get some publicity from this."

Royal Fire is crossing her arms, her expression skeptical. "I dunno, I find this to be a stupid idea."

"Hey, Fiamma, I still think this could help thousands!" Royal Air responds to Royal Fire, her voice sounding hopeful.

"We're just posting a random commercial onto the internet, though!" Royal Fire, or Fiamma, argues.

"It's better than nothing at least," Royal Earth says. "I agree with Aria, since how else will anyone know about us whenever some threat enters town?"

"I mean, yeah, Tierra, but I'm still uncertain about this ad," Fiamma replies, looking away.

Aria looks at Royal Aether curiously. "Say, Celeste, when do you think we'll get a call?"

"Oh, we're bound to get one, just hopefully not anytime soon," Celeste answers.

Royal Water quivers a bit in her seat. "I agree, leader, we'd better not get one soon."

"Yes, Marina," Celeste addresses. "We'd rather not deal with a monster trying to attack the city, would we? We're supposed to stop that from happening, Aria, not wanting it to happen."

"Right, right, of course!" Aria says anxiously. "I was just curious!"

Fiamma is staring at the others as she leans on the couch’s edge, holding up her head with her forearm. "So, since we're done with that commercial now, what do we do?"

"Why, we simply wait for a call," Celeste answers. "Whenever the town needs our help, we'll be there to save it."

The five Royal Elements sit around in awkward silence for several seconds. Tierra then breaks the silence. "You know, that commercial took us a lot of takes to do everything perfectly."

"Well, none of us w-were exactly made for acting," Marina replies.

"I mean, yeah, but how the hell did we mess up our lines so much?" Tierra replies.

Silence radiates through the living room again. "Welp, I'm bored. Do any of you want to head somewhere to eat?" Fiamma asks.

"Oooh, let's get some chicken!" Aria answers.

Fiamma groans. "Aria, you and I already eat enough chicken at that fast food place we work at. I'm thinking burgers."

"Yeah, that sounds good," Tierra answers, looking at Fiamma.

"I honestly don't really care what we have," Marina says timidly.

"Alright, let's get some burgers," Celeste answers. "This time, let's just eat out so Aria doesn't misremember our meals again."

"Yeah, uh..." Aria giggles a bit. "I probably shouldn't be picked for remembering stuff."

"You know, that commercial took us so long to get right," Marina says. "Who knew that following a script could be so hard to do?"

Tierra looks at Marina. "Eh, we weren't exactly made for acting. We're made for protecting the earth and being regal while we're at it."

"True..." Marina says before the five royals get up and leave their home.
