25- EGF

Jumping right into his first lesson Saige stood up from his desk and started talking. "As you all already know we are currently on Academy Island, the main base for the Earth Galactic Force. The island is massive, and every day we are increasing it's size. The island is home to many people, not only members of the EGF, but also students like you, and civilian personnel that run the businesses and organizations."

Saige talked about the history of the academy, and the devastation caused by the Scions attack. "The Scions are a ruthless species, they roam the galaxy taking whatever they want and enslaving other species. The Earth, and more specifically the humans were targets of the Scions due to our ability to adapt and evolve. Were it not for the interference of the Celestials, the Earth and humanity would have been enslaved."

"The Scion invasion was well thought out, and the invaders were ruthless," Saige made some taps on his datapad then swiped up on it and a world map appeared on the board. "Here you can see that they simultaneously hit strategic points all over the world in order to force us to surrender. Were it not for our alert system the death toll would have been higher. New York was ground zero, where the Celestials battled the Scions."

"General Thomas and his wife Anna Thomas, were present at the battlefield, they fought with the Scion prince who led the invasion and risked their lives to save an injured Celestial." At the mention of the Thomas family, all the students glanced towards Kaius. Saige ignored this and continued his lecture. "With the arrival of the other Celestials the Scions realized the battle was lost, in a last ditch effort, they activated a device that would destroy the planet. Compelled by the Thomas's sacrifice to save the the injured Celestial, A Celestial woman risked her life to save the planet."

"Unfortunately, the Celestial did not survive the explosion, but by giving her life she was able to save the planet. The Celestials life blood drenched the planet, forever changing it. This was an unexpected side effect that created the circumstances we find ourselves in today. Were it not for the energy rich atmosphere, the Elementals may have never come to the planet."

"The Elementals are a symbiotic species, beings of energy that require a host body to evolve and grow. Their species were slowly dieing, the changes to the Earth, as well as the ability of the human body to evolve and adapt provided the perfect home for the Elementals."

"Who here can tell me about the different types of Elementals." Saige asked. Zane raised his hand as Saige nodded at him to go ahead and answer. Zane stood and began to speak, "There are 7 different types of Elementals, Fire, Wind, Water, Earth, Lightning, Space, and Time." glancing over at Kaius, he added. "Actually there are 8 types because we can't forget about Kaius who is a Chaos Elementalist" he said taking his seat.

"Right" Saige yelled out "and also wrong" he added. All the students wore a confused look on their faces. "I see you are all a bit confused by this perhaps Kaius would like to explain, or better yet maybe your Elemental can" Saige said looking to Kaius. Kaius waved his hand and a little black fox appeared on his desk.

At the site of the little black fox Alex scoffed, "what a weak looking Elemental" he mumbled to his two brother's who had finally been released from the ice cube and were now seated next to him.

Stretching out Chaos spoke, "got some mangos for me" he asked looking at Kaius. Hearing the little black fox speak everyone except Skye and Zane were shocked. "Well, well, isn't this something," Saige said. "An Elemental that can talk while in animal form." Chaos turned to Saige and puffed up his chest "that's right" he said "I am Chaos a Chaos Elemental"

Saige wore a big smile on his face, "I am Saige Kaius's, as well as your instructor. It's very good to meet you, I was wondering if you would be willing to tell us about what makes Chaos Elemental's different form other Elementals."

Chaos looked Saige up and down then jumped on his desk and sniffed him. "Hmmm," he said "you smell nice, but I don't know, I was hoping Kaius called me out to eat some fruit" Chaos said laying down on the table.

"Perhaps I can help with that" Saige said. Opening one of the boxes on his desk, he pulled out a package of blueberries and offered them to Chaos. "I'm sorry, I don't have any mangos but will these be good enough" Saige asked setting the package down in front of Chaos and opening it.

Chaos had a big foxy grin on his face and looked to Saige, "I've decided that I like you, but next time bring me mangos ok" Chaos said. Saige laughed and nodded "you got it", Saige said.

Chaos ate a few blueberries then sat on the desk looking very majestic. "Listen up noobs, my name is Chaos" he started, "and I am a Chaos Elemental." I am an Elemental like most other Elementals, but there a few key differences that set me apart from the others. Unlike other Elements, I am made up of energy of all the elements, think of me as a jack of all trades. I also wield a higher authority of the elements compared to the other Elementals. For example, if a fire Elemental is controlling fire elements I can pull those elements from him and use them how I see fit or just disperse them all together. So don't even think of challenging me noobs."

"There are only ever very few Chaos Elementals at one time, in order to keep the balance. I am the last Chaos Elemen-" When Chaos said he was the last, for a quick second he seemed to make a sad expression that only Kaius noticed. "Well, there are a few other things that set me apart, but I won't reveal all my secrets to you scrubs." Then he turned into his wisp form and floated into Kaius's chest.

The other students didn't know what to say, they had just been lectured by an actual Chaos Elemental, a thing believed to be a myth. Saige understood Chaos's words better than the students and realized that the little Elemental just described the ability to negate other Elementals, it was fascinating.

"Please thank Great Chaos for me will you" Saige said looking to Kaius. Kaius nodded "I will" he said. Kaius didn't bother to apologize for Chaos's behavior or abrupt departure, like Saige said, Elementals were proud beings and no one was more proud of their abilities than Chaos.

"Ok everyone let's stop here for the day, head off to lunch then report to your Elemental courses. Tomorrow we will be discussing EGF ranks and how they play into Elementalist ranks.

"You are all dismissed, Kaius please stay behind for a moment" Saige said. "We'll wait for you outside" Zane said to Kaius, as he and the rest of the students left the room.

When all the students left Saige went up to Kaius's desk and sat down in the seat next to him, "I don't need to tell you how strong your Elemental is, based off the ice block and the way you teleported Mr. Bloody nose I can already tell you have a good grasp on your power. what I want to tell you is to keep some of your abilities to yourself, it's always a good idea to hold some abilities and skills close to the chest, know what I mean" Saige asked winking.

"Take good care of Chaos and if there is anything the two of you need feel free to reach out to me." Saige tapped his datapad on Kaius's then got up from the desk. "Go catch up to your friends" he said.

Kaius got up and started to leave, but when he reached the door he stopped. This was another person offering him support, but this was clearly different than how Lt. Taylor acted. Kaius had a good feeling about Saige and even Chaos said he liked him, but Kaius couldn't be sure if the fruit bribe had anything to do with that. Kaius turned and looked back at Saige who was sitting on his desk tapping away on his datapad. "thank you sir, Kaius said, then he turned around and left to catch up with his friends.

Saige looked to Kaius as he left and smiled. Looking back at his datapad, he had a screen of Kaius's record pulled up. There was a tab titled skills and abilities which listed all the information on the skills Kaius had. The list was long, Saige clicked on it and deleted all the information the tab had, then he scrolled to a lock icon on the corner and clicked on it. A notification screen popped up [Are you sure you want to lock the selected detailed file to all ranks below: General, Tri-Master Elementalist.] Saige clicked on yes and the screen flashed indicating that the update to the record had been made. Looking at the record again it only showed that Kaius was a Chaos Elementalist, and other basic info such as age, dorm, and blood type.

Saige got up from the desk, leaving his boxes behind he started to leave. As he was walking his datapad started to ring and he looked down to see who it was, smiling he tapped the communicator behind his ear "Pat you old devil, we still on for drinks tonight or what, I can't wait to tell you about how your nephew teleported a kid and locked two others in a block of ice" he said laughing.
