Princes of Element (A collab story with SeanHiruki)

“Hey you four! Quit fighting and get inside this instant!” Yelled a woman in her late twenties. She was wearing a white skirt and blazer with white high heels and long black hair.
“Just a moment teach, we’re busy teaching these scum buckets what happens when they try to trespass on our school grounds and start acting as if they own the place.” Replied a muscular dark-skinned male.
“Hey, enough talking more fighting!” Snapped a tall slim, but muscularly athletically toned caramel skinned male.

The two of the four boys stood back to back as they were surrounded by twelve other guys. There were two other students out in the courtyard, they were watching their friends do what they do best. One was a white male, shorter than the others but his temper made up for his size. He had blonde hair that was combed back, he wore a pair of sleek rectangle rimmed glasses. Next to him stood another black male, his hair in dreads and pulled back into a ponytail, he too wore glasses.

“Come on Alex! Jerrel!” Called the blonde Caucasian male.
“Yeah, hurry and finish these weaklings off so we can get to class already.” Smirked the black male with glasses.
“What was that?!” Growled one of the trespassing students.
“Come on guys let’s show these bookworms how weak we are.” Said another.
“Great Kenji, now we’re in the middle of all this.” Sighed the blonde boy.
“Oh what ever Marcus, you know you want to exercise a little.” Kenji said looking down at his blonde friend. “Plus, this’ll end quicker this way.”

Six of the trespassers surrounded Kenji and Marcus. Not too soon after, all the students were hanging out of windows or were standing in the entrance way so they could see what all the commotion was about. The vice principal stood next to the teacher who had tried to stop Alex, Jerrel, Kenji, and Marcus.

“Oh, vice principal Kuroshi, I tried to stop them! I really did.” Whined the young teacher.
“It’s okay Ms. Kouha.” The vice principal replied. “Let them be, it be better they hand these ruffians from our rival school than to let them run wild.”
“Hey isn’t that Marcus O’Byrne?” One of the students asked.
“What, you mean Marcus O’Byrne, from the Writing Club?” replied another student.

Marcus took a step forward and cracked his knuckles and began stretching his arms and legs. Three of the trespassers charged forward, as did Marcus, who lunged forward hitting the center student in the gut with his knee. Marcus then fell backwards as he dodged a kick from his left side. His stance was very strange, it seemed like he was drunk, but was still trying to do Muai Thai at the same time. The two remaining trespassers that challenged him charged from his left and his right, Marcus spun to his left, using his right knee to hit the attacker on his left in the chin, and he brought his left elbow across the face of the attacker on his right.

“Wow, who would have thought he could fight like that!” commented a student.
“Hey look over there!” cried a female student, she was pointing at Alex.
“That’s Alex Jedeson of the Cooking Club!” Cried another girl.

Alex roundhouse kicked one of the trespassers in the face, and axe kicked the second student on top of the head, the third was Spartan kicked straight in the chest. During the whole fight Alex had his hands in his pockets.

“Hey that’s the Rat Pack down there!” Said one of the students.
“Rat Pack?” Asked Ms. Kouha confused.
“That’s right Ms. Kouha, the Rat Pack.” The Vice principal smirked. “They are the most ragtag group here in this school, but are the strongest among the gangs.”
“But why ‘rat pack’, why not something else, something more intimidating?” Ms. Kouha asked vice principal Kuroshi.
"They believe in honor and discipline." The Principal smiled as he took a step forward. "Boys! You have three minutes before homeroom starts! I suggest you hurry!"
"Sure thing Vice P.! Let's do this!" Jerrel said taking a boxing stance.
"That's more than enough time." Kenji said looking over his shoulder at the vice principal.

Jerrel hit the first opponent with a 1-2-3 combo, then spun around and hit the second opponent with a straight punch square in the nose. The third opponent aimed a roundhouse kick at Jerrel’s head, but Jerrel ducked then came up with a massive uppercut.

“SHORIUKEN!” Jerrel yelled as he rose into the air causing the student body to break out into a fit of laughter.
“Hahaha! That’s Jerrel Kenton for ya!” Laughed one of the students.
“Yeah, no wonder he’s part of the school’s comedy troupe.” Replied another student.
“You’re such a show off.” Kenji sighed as he shook his head.
“Hey it’s Kenji Question, the guy from the art club.” Said a student rather surprised.

Kenji raised his left hand, jabbing his fingers into the underside of his attacker’s wrist, then he spun around hitting his opponent in the center of the shoulder blades, causing his opponent to freeze in place. He did the same to the other two, disarming them with ease.

“One minute left, if I were all of you I’d get back to class.” Kenji said loudly as he grabbed his backpack. “Come on you guys, we’re gonna be late.”
“Right behind you Kenji.” Marcus replied as he, Jerrel, and Alex grabbed their bags and headed into the school amidst murmuring.
“Well, I’ll catch you guys after school then.” Jerrel said as he headed toward the stairs, he was a Junior so he'd have different classes then the others.

Alex, Marcus, and Kenji waved to their friend as they head off to the Freshman-Sophomore side of the high school. Alex and Marcus were both Sophomores while Kenji was the only Freshman of the group. The only classes where all four grades ever interacted together were the in elective classes. One such class that the "Rat Pack" had together was a class called 'Historical Fantasy: The Legends and Lore of the Ages.' The first half of the day passed by so uneventful since that morning, the last few periods of the day were electives.

"Okay class, today were gonna learn about a particularly favorite of mine." Ms. Kouha said as she pulled a strange leather bound book with the four elemental symbols on the cover.
"What type of story is it?" Asked a female student.
"It's story of romance and adventure." Ms. Kouha replied, all the girls sighing with awe, and most of the guys groaning.
"Is there any real action in this story?" Asked a male student.
"Of course there is, lots of battles and destruction." Ms. Kouha said shaking a fist at an imaginary foe.
"Sweet, sound like this won't be such bad class after all." Laugh another male student, among the sighs of disappointment from the female students.

The ‘Rat Pack’ sat at the back of the class, this was an easy class for them since all they did was read and discuss all forms of Mythology, and the fact that there was no homework or tests in the class. Ms. Kouha started reading the story, it was about royal family that ruled the land with love and compassion. The king had four wives, they were said to be the bringers of light. They each gave birth to a son, each with different abilities of the four elements.
