“Hey Rissy, penny for your thoughts?” Cassidy asked, hugging the dark haired woman from behind and resting her chin on he woman’s shoulder. Funny how things worked out, before she died, she was actually shorter than Nerissa, yet for some reason she was now the same height.
“Is that all they are worth, Cassidy?” Nerissa sighed, breaking her gaze away from the gem set in her staff. The group of ex-guardians were standing on a balcony overlooking the gardens of the castle on Meridian. All five were young again thanks to Nerissa’s magic, but the woman could feel it taking a toll on her body.
“I’m still sorry we didn’t believe you all those years ago.” Yan Lin sighed, sitting on the railing swinging her legs back and forth, looking depressed.
“It is all right, we talked it out and I understand why you girls believed the lies of my killing Cassidy out of jealousy.” Nerissa sighed.
“I still say we should get some payback for all those years you were locked away.” Kadma grumbled.
“Don’t forget, I spent a lot of time here on Meridian after breaking out of my prison. It was actually child’s play. I even have a son here.” Nerissa admitted getting wide eyes from the others.
“Ooooo, details!” Cassidy cried out as she hopped around Nerissa to give the dreaded puppy dog pout.
“Cassidy, we have been like sisters ever since before preschool.” Nerissa said, her eyes narrowed at the energetic water guardian.
“Yeah, so?” Cassidy asked, cocking her head to the side in confusion earning a chuckle from Nerissa.
“Name one time that look has worked on me.” Nerissa said, a smug grin growing.
“Well…there was that…no, but then there was…” Cassidy said, crossing her arms and reaching up with one hand to tap her chin in thought. “Nope, I got nothing.”
“That’s because I will never fall for that look.” Nerissa replied, shaking her head in amusement.
“Awww, come on, Rissy!” Cassidy pleaded.
“Perhaps when this is all over.” Nerissa sighed, not telling the others that she planned to sacrifice herself to take out the one person who made her life as horrible as it was. She needed the others to help present an opportunity, but she would make sure in the end they came to no harm. She would end the cycle soon, not for revenge, but for justice.
“When are you ladies heading back to Earth?” Elyon asked, walking out onto the balcony with Caleb following closely behind while glaring at Nerissa.
“Soon, your majesty.” Halinor said, bowing before the girl. “The guardians are going to be meeting at their usual training space shortly. If Sunset accepts the invitation and shows up, we will attack them.”
“I really don’t like this plan.” Yan Lin groaned, “But we do what must be done for those we love.”
“Are you ready, your majesty?” Nerissa asked as she walked over to the teenage queen.
“Not really, but like Yan Lin said, we do what must be done.” Elyon sighed.
“Your majesty, how can you trust this woman after everything she’s done?” Caleb asked incredulously.
“Because I’ve seen the same things she’s seen and I know what is at stake. I’ve blocked off unauthorized scrying and folds from outside sources so I know everyone will be safe here. And I know you will take care of our people while we do this.” Elyon said, leaning up to kiss Caleb before moving to Nerissa who absorbed the girl back into the gem set in her staff.
“Let’s go girls.” Nerissa said, opening a fold for the group, minus Caleb, to enter and go to Earth.
After a quick breakfast, Susan had to hurry off to take care of something, the woman seeming a little worried leaving Sunset to wait for Twilight and Martin. They said that they would be over later in the afternoon and the wait was driving her insane. It was this reason Sunset was walking toward the bridge where Hay Lin had called and begged her to come hang out and practice their powers a little so they could see what each other can do in their new forms. She almost declined, but deciding it would make time go quicker, Sunset left to meet up with them.
“Sunny, you made it!” Hay Lin cried out, tackling Sunset as soon as she was in view.
“Hey there, Hay Lin.” Sunset greeted the energetic girl, the other coming up from behind her to join them.
“I’m glad you came, Sunset.” Cornelia said, giving an almost shy wave, which was a little out of character for the girl. Then again, so was what happened at the mall.
“All of us are, Cornelia. We really need to start working together more if we are to stop Nerissa, or whoever the big bad is.” Taranee said, pushing her glasses back up her nose from where they were sliding down.
“I’m just not too sure who to call a fire starter anymore.” Irma giggled, also acting a little nervous.
“Don’t act nervous, Irma.” A new voice chuckled, getting the girls to look up to see Nerissa appear out of a teletransport surrounded by four other women.
“Wow, what face cream are you using? I want to avoid it, it’s actually making you uglier each time we see you.” Irma joked, recognizing the staff which held Elyon imprisoned inside.
“Why thank you dear, but I thought it best I introduce you to my team of guardians.” Nerissa chuckled, holding up her staff causing them to change into guardian outfits similar to the others including fairy wings.
“Why are you doing this?” Sunset asked, shock lacing her voice as the aggressive stances the others were making toward Sunset and the girls could only mean one thing. They wanted a fight.
“Why don’t you change and find out, child? Because it is time for the kid gloves to come off.” Nerissa said, “And don’t forget to channel extra energy into the Heart like you did the other day, you girls are going to need the boost.”
“Guardians UNITE!” Sunset growled, thrusting the Heart out and transforming them into their new outfits and boosted powers. Before Sunset could say or do anything a powerful gust of wind blasted the others away from her with Nerissa’s group giving chase to them.
“I guess it is just you and me now, child.” Nerissa said with a wicked smile. “Hope you are ready to learn your lesson.”
Over with Yan Lin and Hay Lin, they were flying in air with their eyes locked on each other as they flew around in circles ready to fend off any attacks from the other. Hay Lin finally asked in a shaky voice, “Are you really my grandmother?”
“I am, my little Hay Lin.” Yan Lin said with a sad expression.
“Then who is that at the restaurant?” Hay Lin sobbed.
“She is my altermere. She is kind of an advanced astral drop, only this one has all of my memories making her a copy of me. She is as much a living, breathing Yan Lin as I am.” Yan Lin explained.
“Why grandmother?” Hay Lin cried.
“Because it has to be done, this has to be done. Be strong my little Hay Lin and all will be revealed soon enough.” Yan Lin said. “Tell me granddaughter, you know how to turn invisible to be stealthy as well as listen to voices over the wind for recon. You know how to control wind to bluntly protect yourself and to act as a blunt weapon. But did you know wind can also be used to create a cutting blade so fine that it can slice through nearly anything with much greater precision than any physical blade?”
“What are you talking about, grandmother?” Hay Lin asked, forced to dodge at the last second as a blade of air shot through the space she was just in cutting off a single strand of hair. “That could have hit me!”
“As can this.” Yan Lin said, throwing two more blades of air towards Hay Lin who barely dodged once again, small cuts left in her clothes. Not enough to reveal anything, but enough to get Yan Lin’s point across.
“It’s so simple to do, just have to compress the air to a super fine point and wham!” Yan Lin smiled, making Hay Lin blink in confusion.
With Cornelia, she was hard pressed dodging a rock golem’s fist swinging at her as the thing once again barely missed. “Are you freaking nuts?”
“It isn’t really that hard to make a golem child, but I do admit it is a little harder to maintain in the middle of a battlefield.” Kadma said, hovering as a glow surrounded her. “All it takes is a bit of focus and you can easily conjure rock and earth to create a warrior to fight in your place.”
“Like this?” Cornelia asked, grinning as she slammed her hand down on the ground and pulled it back up as a misshapen form of something slightly resembling a humanoid rose up.
“Not very elegant looking child, but passable for your first try.” Kadma said, sending her golem to strike at Cornelia’s who managed to block the strike by some miracle. It didn’t survive striking out on its own as it brought its rock shaped fist down on Kadma’s and ended up shattering in the process while the darker woman’s remained not only intact, but looking as if it didn’t even take any damage.
“Well, that sucked.” Cornelia groaned, panting from the effort it took just to manage that.
“You better hope you have more than that in you girl, or you are going to end up as a splat on the sidewalk!” Kadma snapped, her golem charging at Cornelia.
With Irma and Cassidy, the two were circling each other much like Yan Lin and Hay Lin. Unlike the other two, they were smirking at each other as they waited for either one to make a move. “Your control over water and your abilities are excellent, Irma.” Cassidy smiled, “Yet I have to wonder if you know that you can heal with your water?”
“What now?” Irma asked, her eyes going wide as her stance loosened up.
“Just as I said.” Cassidy said, pulling a knife out and holding it as if ready to attack.
“Hey, no bringing a knife to a water fight.” Irma chuckled nervously.
“Watch closely.” Cassidy said as she drew the blade across the back of her free hand before holding it up to show the cut to Irma who blanched at the action. “You have to make sure you make your intent is perfectly clear, to concentrate on what you want your water to do.”
“Are you insane?!” Irma cried out in a mixture of shock and worry. Her worry changed to awe as Cassidy created a ball of water and encased her cut hand in it, the cut slowly fading away to nothing, not even a scar as it healed before her eyes.
“Now let’s see if you think you can handle that!” Cassidy said as she lashed out at the still in awe Irma managing to make a small cut on her arm.
“What did you do that for?” Irma cried out, only to get an arched eyebrow in response. With a heavy sigh, Irma followed the other woman’s directions encasing her wound in a ball of water. At first nothing was happening as Irma concentrated as hard as she could, just as she was about to give up she felt a tingling gaining her attention. Her wound was healing up, getting her to let out a whoop of joy.
“Good girl!” Cassidy said with a grin, getting ready to slash again only for Irma to dodge. “Practice makes perfect.”
Taranee was looking at Halinor as if the woman was insane, she had to be as she bathed her own body in fire like a bird and flew toward the younger girl. “Great, I have to deal with the firebird.”
“I personally prefer to be called a phoenix myself, child. In case you didn’t notice, you can’t really be harmed by your own fire unless you let it. Of course you are going to get burned if you’re afraid of it. If you expect it to happen you are telling your magic and body to react in that way. If you trust your own fire you can not only bathe yourself in it, you can make it act as both a weapon and armor against your foes.” Halinor lectured.
“Wait, why are you telling me this?” Taranee asked suspiciously.
“Do not voice your suspicions out loud, child. Anything can have ears.” Halinor chided.
Back with Sunset and Nerissa, the older woman just leaned on her staff waiting for the girl to make a move. “If you wanted to hurt us, you could have ambushed us instead of announcing yourself.”
“Perhaps, but where would the fun be in that?” Nerissa yawned, “You know, I have a feeling you could even teach me a few things.”
“So?” Sunset asked defiantly, her red bangs getting in her eyes making her brush them out giving Nerissa the opening she needed to get close on the teen and take one of her hands.
“Maybe you should keep your wits about you in battle.” Nerissa chuckled, letting her hand drop while smiling at seeing the girl’s nearly unnoticeable nod of confirmation while tightening her hand.
“Maybe you should follow your own advice.” Sunset said, energy crackling around her other hand. “Tell me something, why did you send Shagon to protect me?”
“Because I saw a potential ally in you after our first encounter opened my eyes to Harmony.” Nerissa said, “An ally I wasn’t sure could protect themselves.”
“Shagon feeds off of hate though. That sounds like something a villain would do.” Sunset accused the woman.
“I might be a villain, but I know when a line is crossed. Matt and Shagon are of the same body, but different minds. Shagon’s is just a magical construct with basic programming to feed off hate and follow my commands.” Nerissa said, an apologetic look crossing her features.
“So whatever Shagon says is…” Sunset started, only for Nerissa to finish. “Is separate from Matt’s true thoughts and feelings.”
“Why not free him then?” Sunset asked.
“My dear, all the princess has to do is kiss the frog to change him back.” Nerissa chuckled, earning a blush from Sunset. “Now I think it is time we danced a little. See just how good you are at dodging.”
“It has been fun guardians, but we have bigger things to deal with.” Nerissa chuckled, the group teletransporting away leaving Sunset and the other girls regrouping. As they changed back it left them not looking as dirtied and beat up as they looked while transformed, but the exhaustion and bruises still remained.
“What was that about?” Cornelia groaned, collapsing on the ground. She almost shrieked when a dog ran up and started licking her and barking.
“Spike?” Sunset asked, a familiar girl running over to them calling her dog as well.

That's true, I do believe harsher punishments is needed both in real life and in my story. I was thinking of putting the villain in the hotsprings to be beat down like I said and maybe show him a week later during the invasion and have a couple of Orochimaru's snakes chasing him ad one of them catching him and eating him. The second one asking how he tasted, and the first saying it was gross and he thinks he's going to be sick. Still, way too leniet and death is far too much a mercy on him. I do like the Infinite Tsukuyomi idea and those punishments does sound good. Too bad we couldn't have something like that in real life to make these people feel the pain and emotions they cause their victims, only ten times worse.
That's true, but as much as I think the castle needs a fresh coat of red paint I don't think Celestia could bring herself to do it. Luna on the other hand Just another reason Luna is best pony.
11504200
Twilight's wasn't as bad as Sunset's, but the only one I really hated was Sunset's demon form for some reason. Just something about the look with that hair didn't sit right with me. It just looked so wrong and I can't really pinpoint why, it just looks really weird to me.
That is true, and the main three do have some kind of vehicles with some kind of base.
11504210
Yep, she's going to have to face what she's done and have a long look at herself as well and decide what changes need to be made.
11504372
I think before Luna came back it was partly (in canon and partly in my story) she was too scared to get close to those she cared for until she realized she bucked up with Sunset so badly while at the same time feeling pretty depressed and apathetic because of Luna being banished which makes her just try and keep the peace and balance everything out at first. I really hope I did a decent job trying to explain what I mean, I really need to figure out how to get my thoughts on paper more clearly and easily. Sunset should have never been punished for self defense, and Celestia really should have given Sunset a chance to defend herself instead of just listening to the reports of the headmare and the angry parents over what happened.
Welp that was an unexpected transition ... and information exposition ...
I can understand why Elyon would avoid contacting guardians since they are kinda compromised if unknowingly, but how she was able to contact Twilight and Martin and avoid detection ... oh right, I.T.C.H don't have contact with Twilight in addition to having negative perception scores ...
Also Caleb&Elyon ... that's a new one ... someone has a name for this ship?
Heh Nerissa thinks she's immune to dreaded puppy-eyes-no-jutsu ... until she receives the equestrian graded version ... or worse their equivalent of anti-heart-nukes:
CMC puppy-eyes-no-jutsu
Ouch, Nerissa had her own Anon-a-miss moment ...
Also Nerissa come on, Lord Frieza said that suicide is cowards way...
Also also, nice plan to train heroes by playing villains... but C.H.Y.N.K actor skills are kinda pathetic ... Are they even trying?
They could at least throw one-liners while doing Maud Pie's impression...
Yan Lin gives nice tip for another type of air attack, after all it's good to have access to all three physical damage types (Blunt, Slash, Pierce). Besides air compression is the first step to give an air user access to the ability to create and throw miniature suns...
Well, that is one thing I would not like to give into Hay Lin's trigger-happy hands ...
But if an enemy is dangerous next logical ability should be to "Zaheer" them if you know what I mean ... It is after all very ... thorough killing move...
Shame that Cornelia got the worst teacher, I mean come on stone golem is so ... basic, she didn't even use a mixed materials version.
Where is Crystal's creation and manipulation?
Where is Plant manipulation and mutation that would make Hashirama weep in jealousy?
Where is bone manipulation?
Lava? Magnets? Seismic sense?
Cornelia should ask for a refund... Or to speak with manager, Apeture Science Style (After all her mother gives Karen impression quite well , almost like she's natural)
Irma got Pinkie-Lite as a teacher ... and that is a terrifying image if Cassidy and two other Pinkies get to one place, woe upon this cluster of worlds if Cassidy learns to disregard the laws of reality.
Water healing acceleration, a nice and useful ability to open water lessons. Leads to introducing all concepts that Katara learned in Avatar-Verse ... including ichor,resin and blood manipulation, and all of that leads to biomancy: magic/ability that manipulates life and biological processes, and that is OP, shame it also requires to have the scientific or medical knowledge to be at least slightly useful.
Halinor gives Teranee a glimpse into elemental mantling via phoenix armor ... sweet that is high tier elemental skill. And also a nice warning to watch out for observers.
It's actually good that Nerissa and Sunset didn't fight, whoever is observing (That is almost guaranteed) now has no information on their true capabilities, and the two managed to exchange some information. Besides it's not like Nerisaa has anything (except some tips on quintessence) that Sunset doesn't know better about magics.
All around girls got nice starting lessons ... except Cornelia, she got the short end of the stick.
And here's the best doggo, and Dark Angel of Mad Science Twilight Sparkle is introduced to the group, now we need Rainbooms and the magical task force that will replace Kandrakar in about one year's time is officially a go.
11504798 I actually loved Witch, both what I've read as well as the cartoon. This story is mostly based off the cartoon which kind of taken away a lot of stuff from the books and comics and made it a bit more kid friendly, as if the comics/books wasn't. They changed a lot of stuff such as Yan Lin actually not dying as well as adding more characters such as Blunk, a passling. For this story I am using mostly the cartoon with some stuff mixed in from the books and comics. As for Dean, I changed a lot when it comes to him as he became both a tool and a victim to try and drive a wedge between her and Will so he could try and gain control of Will which he actually came close to succeeding.
For this story, it ultimately began about in season one of the cartoon where Cornelia is really pissed at Will and the other girls where to drained to deal with the arguing between them and brushed it off saying they would talk about it the next day. Going home Will had a huge argument with her mom that was caused because of mental manipulations Dean was putting in her head as he himself was being controlled. Thinking she had no one and just wanting to end it, Will did what the villain wanted and went after Phobos herself and pushed herself so hard she was shifting between her ultimate elemental form and her normal form. (The ultimate elemental form is from the finale of Season 2 where the guardians became the elements themself at the cost of losing all sense of themself and their friends and family had to talk them back.) Will managed to defeat Phobos and Cedric by tapping into the power and it impressed the Spirits of Kandrakar (the nymph and dragons) and using all the ambient magic they were able to manifest themselves before Will and gave her a wish. She basically wished to go back in time and have a second chance at life away from all the pain and suffering. They managed to converse with the Spirits of harmony and they agreed to allow Will to be brought to Equestria and given a chance there.
The magic from the Heart didn't synch with harmony as easy as planned though and it caused a wild magic surge that was killing Sunset. When Celestia came to intervene the magic pretty much pulled a Transformers bit and scanned her giving Sunset a large chunk of DNA from the Princess in effect turning Sunset into Celestia's biological mother though neither knew that fact at the time. It managed to stabalize Will's transformation into Sunset and Celestia took the Heart to be studied to make sure it didn't pose a threat. She knew it was the heart and didn't really trust it because of what some of the poeple on Kandrakar did to them.
Fast forward to the more present timeline and Sunset was reunited with the Heart (the original plan was the Heart recharging and returning to Earth to choose a new keeper who would be strong enough to become it's avatar and do what has been trying to do since Nerissa which for now can't go into because of spoilers. The timeline is later in the Nerissa arc/season 2 of the cartoon.

If you mean Twi having materials, she met Elyon through Susan who introduced the two. When Susan was told what happened to Will, Elyon was there too as was itch. Elyon has kept contact with Susan in case new information was discovered about Will and Twilight met her and they did become friends. Elyon supplies Twilight with excessive materials they don't need for experiments and Twi helps come up with ideas to help reform education and the government.
I want to think they actually became a couple later in the books but I might be mixing it up with a fanfiction. It happens more than I would like to admit.
I bet she would have a hard time resisting either of those dreaded attacks.
Kind of, I changed what actually happened in the book/cartoon and I can't give away a lot of the changes because of spoilers, but safe to say Nerissa did not kill Cassidy at all, it was a pure accident that looked like murder from a certain vantage point the other three saw it happen from. I'm sure Nerissa will come out of it all right though.
I wasn't sure how to give them clues without blowing their cover so that was actually a bit more my fault than theirs lol.
Thanks, I don't think I've ever seen Hay Lin use air in any way such as this so thought it would be a good starting point for her. Might want to avoid giving her anything that powerful for awhile though as you said she is a bit trigger happy.
Cornelia is getting a bit of the short end as I couldn't come up with a good lesson for her. I'm pretty sure I've seen her use something like vine whips before though the crystal creation would have been pretty good. I kind of thought the basic golem might be an ok starting point until she gets the hang of it and teach her more advanced ones. I thought giving her something that could be defensive and distract their enemies while the regrouped would help a little though. I do agree though, Corny did kind of get the lowe end of lessons here.
It might be a fun image though. It is scary though thinking of her becoming Pinkie's apprentice at reality warping. Sometimes I have to wonder if she is related to Discord somehow. Thanks, I thought having a healer might be a good thing and those other skills could come in handy. I'm pretty sure Cassidy wanted to be a pediatrician so may know some of the biological proccesses needed to use those skills. The problem would be beating it into Irma's head.
Thanks, that was the best lesson I could come up with. I figured if Taranee could learn this she could possibly use it to do other things than just a phoenix armor.
I'm glad you thought so too, I had a lot of the same thoughts on this one.
Thanks and again I do agree with you on Corny.
Yep, and the introduction is going to go good though a pretty bad thing will happen at the end with a good thing happening because of it. Hope everyone likes it in the next part.
11504902
Nah, I just thought that Elyon kept contact after "necklace imprisonment", but you just reminded me that she had time before that event to keep in contact and what later happened is meaningless since without Heart of Kandrakar or Elyon herself girls were cut off from Meridian so it was impossible to check. I was just momentarly confused but you clarified it.
My memories might be spotty but in the cartoon, it was ... Caleb and Cornelia? I think ...
I mean C.H.Y.N.K might be terrible actors, but kandrakar council is full of idiots so it kinda balances out?
Yeah, Hay Lin was a stealth/fast attacker, and as far as I remember except for tornado and collaborative attacks nothing like air blades in the original arsenal.
As for sun throws, I kinda wrote it as a joke, it is a legit and possible skill but I don't think Hay Lin even with Sunset and Yan Lin's help could learn it in a stable way in the timeframe of the decade since it requires obnoxious amounts of control and energy (Techically Hay Lin should have enough power for one shot at this point in time but it would be weak short distance version and would send her from the full battery straight into magical exhaustion). So chocking someone or creating vacuum pockets is much easier... if probably too ruthless for Hay Lin to consider(I'm not sure if chocking isn't classified as a war crime, someone might know better than me)
Don't get me wrong, the ability to create golems or summon earth elementals is a nice skill, but it just doesn't do anything for Cornelia because of her "build" ... or for any guardian for that matter.
Even if you can make golem/elemental autonomous so you don't need to steer it manually and divide attention, they have a crucial weakness: They are strong and durable but also freakishly SLOW. When you summon a minion for help it needs to be faster than creator to draw aggro and not let his summoner be attacked. Cornelia has access to "evasion skill" in the form of flying so even if the elemental wanted it can't keep up to protect, besides guardians often fought fast enemies, or ones that could fly making earth golem even more obsolete. It can still be a siege weapon or something for big monsters or swarms of small enemies but defender it is not in its base form.
With crystal manipulation it is possible to make a golem that shoots crystal shards or lasers by bending light.
With lava manipulation it is possible to give a golem a spray attack.
With plant manipulation it is possible to give golem spore attacks, bigger reach or even water blasts making it more useful summon.
There is also a part where Cornelia as an earth user can modify terrain into a dangerous zone (stone spikes, poison/spore clouds, lava pits for some examples) making potential summons even more obsolete to keep the enemy at distance.
In conclusion: Golem is a nice option for the defender but not for someone who flies and has better options. What would be nice for Cornelia is new methods of attack, not just some vines or rock throws.... Twilight's dammit, once again I'm ranting...
But it is also in character for Kadma to rely on those since from the cartoon I got the impression she liked to do grandstanding with those Zambalan treants, so her creating "enforcers" to not dirt herself with beating someone up is believable as something that she will try to pass on to the student.
Tiaaaaa, Irma's case is the same as Hay Lin, Biomancy is waaaaay out of the close time frame, and requires more than a pediatrician can know. Healing is a nice path and each team needs a designated healer, and maybe it will open Irma to the simple fact that steam, ice, and blood are also water-ish enough that they can be controlled or even shifted between different matter states.
Biomancy is so a powerful skill that if by some chance Irma could master it then it is game over for villains, hell she could probably take on all alicorn princesses in 1v4 and win four out of ten times , so long as "planet buster attacks" are not in use, since that is one thing in that is not in biomancer arsenal (and replication of zombie apocalypse/the flood/necromorphs/zerg infestation doesn't count as planet buster).
Do you know Alex Mercer from Prototype games?
A fully realized biomancer makes Alex look like small fry in comparison. That kind of biomancer is basically biologically immortal, can heal any biological issue or create it (including old age and cancer), modify his/her body (gender at this point is obsolete) just like, if not more than Blacklight's infected, on the spot change a city park plants into armies of fleshy monstrosities seed new life/races and so much more...
Not without reason it's OP, restriction of this art lies within the needed knowledge and time that the caster needs for creating "templates" to later replicate.
On the plus side they are also the best healers period ... if crazy most of the time ... So yeah, maybe it's better for Irma to stick with sending opponents to a watery grave by water way.
Elemental mantling is actually one of the steps to what girls did at the end of season 2 . but in a stable way.
Elemental Armor ->Elemental immunity -> Replacing body parts with element and back(Elemental Mantling) -> Becoming Element.
Besides Teranee being telepathic and a pyromancer and not doing Phoenix Cosplay is a simple crime that needs to be rectified.

I never watched the show (too cringe for my taste) but at least this was informative.
