Bio:
In an alternate universe on a Planet called Kratix…
As Nate ran, he could here nothing but the pounding of his feet on the ground and the soft thumps of his rapidly beating heart. Today was the day. As he rounded the final turn on his path, he found himself before a large building, looking as if it hadn't been occupied for years. But he knew better. This was the laboratory of Professor Doc, a brilliant scientist and inventor. Nate had befriended him at an early age, and they had been close ever since. Today was the day he finished with his new invention. Nate suddenly heard shouting behind him, and he immediately recalled why he had been running. He had been on his way to Doc's lab when he had run into the local thugs, a wily group called the... well, no one ever knew what they were called because no one ever found out and lived to tell about it. He made a dash for the door, but a mere three steps from freedom, he felt a sharp pain in his arm. He collapsed to the ground and curled up as the throbbing in his arm sent him into convulsions. He saw the gang running toward him, and then he saw nothing...
When Nate came to, he was laying on a sterilized examination table in a brightly lit room. Doc's lab. Before he even had time to question what had happened, Doc strolled into the room.
"Ah, Nate! Good to see you awake, my boy." he beamed with delight.
"Ughhh..." groaned Nate, "How long have I been out?"
"Oh, about a week and a half now." Doc replied.
"What!?" Nate exclaimed, then, catching on to Doc's petty joke, searched for something to throw at him.
"Oh, come now, It was merely a joke!" Doc stated with mock indignation. "You've come to see my latest invention, I suspect?"
Nate, suddenly remembering the purpose of his sojourn, nodded his head enthusiastically.
"Follow me, then."
Nate hopped off the table and followed Doc down a fluorescently lit corridor to a room that contained all of his most ingenious inventions. It was filled with all sorts of machinery, from insignificant little trinkets to hulking masses of metal, but the feature that most caught Nate's eye was a lit pedestal smack in the center of the room. On it laid a ring adorned with elaborate designs and a beautiful gray gem.
"As you know," Doc said, snapping Nate out of his trance, "the crime rate in this province has been spiraling out of control recently. This ring is a revolutionary technology that will completely reinvent the criminal justice system. Each ring contains-"
"Each ring?" Nate cut him off. "You mean there's more than one?"
"Oh, yes, there are many. You wouldn't think one would be enough to completely evolve weapons technology as we know it would you?" The professor fished in his pocket and pulled out a small remote with one button. He pressed it and the walls of the pedestal began to lower, revealing rack upon rack of rings, each with their own intricate design and an intoxicating jewel. They came in a myriad of colors. "Each ring," Doc continued, "holds the technology to control its own specific "element" as you would put it. Each unique, each powerful beyond comprehension. Some of them are even so powerful as to where I wouldn't dare tamper with them. They control the fundamental forces of the universe, and if they were to fall into the wrong hands, whoever was in possession of them would be capable of ruling the entire planet of Kratix. Those are the ones cased in fiberglass.” Nate glanced down and, sure enough, there was a fiberglass container containing twelve more rings. Doc resumed, “So, aside from those… choose one.” Nate merely stared on as Doc waited patiently for him to come out of his shock. Finally, Nate came back to his senses.
“Ohhhhh, nice one, Doc. You almost had me, there.” He studiously analyzed Doc’s features for any sign that he might be joking, but the expression on his face was one of only the most authentic seriousness. “You’ve got to be kidding me!” Nate shouted, “Me!?”
“Well,” said the professor, “if you don’t want one, I’ll just-” Doc suddenly stopped, noticing that Nate had sat down and was holding his head in his hands. Perhaps this was just a little too much for him. “Nate, what’s the matter?”
“This…” Nate mumbled, then suddenly jumped to his feet and gave a shout, “This is AWESOME!!!” Doc sighed with relief. He had worried that his words had had a traumatic effect on the young lad, but now his worries were erased as Nate slowly shuffled up to the pedestal and began examining each ring. They were all exquisite and all quite distinctive, but none had such a mesmerizing effect on him as the one he had seen originally, the one with the stunning gray gem. He gradually slid the ring onto his finger and felt energy flood into him. The ring was now inseparable from him. It was part of him. It had memorized his DNA and now would allow no other master but him.
“Terrific choice, Nate.” Doc’s voice ringed in from behind him. “You now have power over neutral energy. No elements will have any exaggerated effect on you, but you have no extra effect on them either. You are standing on the point in the exact center of the elemental spectrum. As you learn, you will also develop the capability to copy the energy properties of the other rings. By the way, did I mention that it also functions as a mood ring? It will change color to match your emotions.”
“…Cool.” was all Nate said. It was all he could say. I mean, come on, what would you say if you harnessed such a power as this?
Nate meandered through the halls of Doc’s lab until he came to the test area. Here, he would have enough space to safely practice his newfound powers. He foolishly decided to start off big. He conjured up as much energy as he could and sent it hurdling at the far wall. A speck neutral energy came out. Nate dropped his head and heaved a heavy sigh. He felt the weight of Doc’s hand on his shoulder.
“Don’t feel so down.” Doc said, “No one gets it on the first try. With enough practice, you could do amazing things.” Nate looked back up, gathered his energy, and tried again…
Three Weeks Later…
Nate was in the test room, practicing his powers. They had developed considerably from the first day. He could now summon an energy ball of considerable strength as well as neutral energy objects. Doc had also provided him with weapons to channel his energy. After practice, Nate went to speak with Doc.
“Hey, Doc,” he said bluntly, “I think I’m ready to take this thing to the next level.” Doc glared at him with skeptical eyes, but he couldn’t hold the serious expression for long, and a smile slipped through.
“You think you’re ready for a fight?” He asked.
“You bet!” Nate answered enthusiastically. After a moment, Doc nodded hesitantly.
“Alright, but I expect you to come back. Alive, mind you.”
“I was planning on it!” Nate replied. He left the room, feeling like he could face down the world…
"He's gone now." Doc muttered, gazing back at four concealed figures in the back of the room. One stepped forward, a lion wearing a black, sleeveless shirt and a red pair of shorts.
"Finally" he growled. I was getting tired of waiting. The rings?"
"Right this way." Doc replied, gesturing toward the door. The four figures followed him into the invention chamber and stared at the rack of rings that were about to be their own. Flare, the lion, stepped forward and selected a ring with a fiery red crystal embedded into it. The three others followed suit. Chip the monkey, Chase the rabbit, and Conner the raccoon selected three more rings: one with an emerald green jewel, one with a yellow gem, and one with a crystal the color of sapphire. Each gaped as they felt the power flow into them. Chase ecstatically aimed an elemental blast at the far wall of the chamber and let loose with his energies. A gust swooshed through the chamber. Chase gawked as he contemplated. So, he had power over wind, huh? With a little more experimentation, the other three soon discovered their powers as well. Flare could command fire, while Chip could make nature do his bidding. Connor could influence water. Unlike Nate, the command of the elements seemed to come to them naturally.
"This is incredible!" Connor stated as he fixated his full attention to the ring on his finger. It was surprising that such a small, insignificant object could contain such incredible energy. Chase seemed to take well to the use of his newfound abilities and quickly decided that he was ready to fight some evil-doers or something like that.
"C'mon, let's go!" He cheered. He rushed out of the building, followed closely by the others. Doc was left alone, mourning. How could four teenagers wreck so many inventions so quickly?
