"I apologize greatly for leaving you alone. " I said, bowing.

Mevis waved her hand, shooing me away. She thanked Air with tears for saving her. Air stared into nothing and suddenly lit up. She rummage through her pockets and pulled out a tag. On it was the tag of Space. Mevis cheered and hugged Air again.

Air walked towards me and gave it to me.

I took it and kept it in my pocket. Now, our team had five tags, the opponent had three. We planned the next form of attack that night. Air stayed with Mevis while I went out. The plan was to go over to Water's place and offer a deal.

I knocked on their door, Victor answered.

"What are you doing here? " He asked.

I bowed. "I'm here on behalf of my master. We offer to return the tag your team lost if you agree to never attack my master again. "

Water popped his head out. "I knew it was a good idea that Space went. "

He walked out, his master behind him. He faced me head on said, "I'll agree if you guys refuse to attack our masters too. "

I gave him a small smile. "Why would I agree to that? I'm here to assure my master's safety, not yours. If you wanted to also make a deal, trade a tag for each master. "

Water glared at me, his easy-going expression gone.

"How about I attack you and take the tag? " He asked.

"Be reminded, your team has two masters while my team has only one. " I replied. "We can always protect our master and attack at the same time. In that case, the moment one of you is not around, we can attack. "

"Then if we trade for only one? "

"I promise that neither Air nor myself will lay a finger on him. "

Water thought about it and looked behind at Victor. He pulled out his tag and raised it out. He told me, "The difference in tags will not change, so I might as well. "

We switched tags.

Time, who was aware of the deal, would make sure it was kept. I went back, mission accomplished. Back at the mansion, Mevis cheered, having been safe from the other two Elementals.

Air wrote: That means we can attack?

"Yes. " I replied.

The next day, we left the mansion, all but one tag with Mevis. She waved us goodbye.
