Just a few hours later, John walked down the stairs of the bunker. His mind was sharp, focused on his goal: to save Rave. One after another the elemental girls materialized. Gnome appeared first, "Finally we are back," she said with a smile, "let's hope what we did pays off, and don't lose your patience down there."
"I won't," John promised. The stone elemental hesitated for a moment and then kissed him on the cheek, blushing and then quickly retreating to the rear of the group.
"Man, I remember bathing this staircase in fire," Salamander said as she suddenly started floating next to his head, lying in the air, arms folded behind her head. "Sadly, that wasn't very effective then," she complained, "but now we will reduce that bloody bitch to cinders."
"I want to hear her story first," John told Salamander. "Maybe she does have a good reason after all."
"You do you, I am just ready to do what I want to do," Salamander cackled.
