The child noticed me take a step back. He asked, "Mister, what are you doing? Talk to me. "

I looked back at Air, who was still playing on the swings.

The child muttered, "C'mon, play with me. "

At that point, I remembered Water telling me that third party interventions was allowed up to a point. I ran and yelled, "Air! Get out of here! Go to Mevis, she might be in trouble. "

Air looked at me, nodding. Wings appeared behind her, Air flying back.

Before I could run away, the ground loosened and I sank into it. The child was grinning as he closed the gap. I cursed, the ground hardening. I exploded myself, getting myself out right before The ground beneath me stabbed up into my gut.

I turned into flames, but the rocks beneath me blocked my path and squashed me into the ground.

"Play with me, Fire. " The child said.

Citizens were running away, sirens blaring in the background. I appeared in front of him and patted his head, "Earth, you shouldn't be playing like this. "

"Space said I could fight you. " He pouted.

"Well... " I muttered.

A hammer appeared in Earth's right hand. He swung at me, my entire torso was blown off. Earth cheered and laughed. I healed, repairing my clothes with fire. I threw a fireball at Earth, he took it head on, laughing insanely. I cursed. It probably would have been better if Air had fought him instead. Earth turned and swung his fist, the air pressure twisting to destroy my body from a distance.

"Dammit. " I whispered.

Earth hopped at me, singing an nursery song. I waited for him to be directly above me. I reached out and touched his arm. It turned red. Earth stared at it and then glared at me, his childish behaviors paused. He whispered, "Don't. "

"I will. "

"You wouldn't dare. "

"I will. "

"Can I convince you otherwise? "

"Maybe. "

"I can give you some of my candy. "

"Too bad then. "

His arm blew up, his hammer falling on the ground. Earth stared at his missing arm and shivered. He had tears flow from his face as he cried, "It hurts... "

He collapsed on himself, still crying.
