Premonitions: Smoke of War (Part 1)

The sky was black, save for the few streaks of red that symbolized a raging battle. There were seven. Seven fighters, seven losers. Seven bringers of chaos and disarray. Seven to fight, and seven to fall, this was the day.

Subject 9 had fallen prey to the experiment and was no longer in control of her own body. Klarese had also fallen prey to her crystal.

This was the battle that ensued.....

The room was large and dark, the only light coming from a large monitor that showed the raging battle outside of the ship, down on Azeroth. Everyone fighting to get to their friends but to no avail. Inside the monitor buzzed, the control panel below the large monitor, railed stairs led down to the floor that held five bound bodies. They looked beaten and were breathing harshly, their eyes were covered by thick black cloth that gave nothing away. Walking down from the monitor were two females, one was a short elf that was the same side as the human to her side. The human walked over and yanked the five to their knees before ripping their masks off.
"Klarese... Rima... How could you do this?" Mindee, a gnome, asks between gasps for breath.
The elf looks at them with an emotionless expression. The human chuckles as she circles the group.
"You lot always were naive. Always hoping, but why should any of us listen to someone else when we could so easily crush them beneath our feet. You guys should have worked with us and not only could we stop the stinking invaders, but we could have conquered so much more!" The human laughs.
A male worgen growls, snapping his maw at the human, "Filthy wench!"
The female human jumps back, disappearing into the shadows.
"What about you, Rima? Why are you doing this? We trusted you." Alex says, glaring at her with feral red eyes.
The young elf, Rima, turns her emotionless gaze towards the bound human female. She walks over to her and speaks quietly, but the voice that speaks was not that of her own.
"Because chaos is fun." Rima's lips twist into a grin. 
"Rima! You have to control it! Don't be the puppet!" Sheikaris,a tall male elf, shouts, covered in sweat as he is bound by enchanted rope.
Rima held her head as tears poured down, backing up as she shouts, "I can't! Moros will punish me!"
Sitting on the railing beside the struggling child was the sleek rogue, Klarese, who held a maddening grin.
"Fuck Moros! Fight it you twat!" A human male, Gidrian, shouts at her as he manages to get to his feet.
Rima's eyes flash a sickly looking purple, her lips twisting into a sneer, "Eh? Who are you to talk?"
Gidrian tries to charge into Rima, in hopes to jog her mind, but gets tripped by Klarese.
"Gidrian!" Alex shouts before glaring at Klarese.
Rima walks forward, picking up the man by his throat and lifting him off the ground. Gidrian gasps as his life begins draining from him.
"Rima! No!" Sheikaris shouts at her.
Forming into their physical forms were the crystals Ervus, Lybria, and Pira. With the appearance of the crystals they manage to draw out the crystal Moros. Once out of her head, Rima drops Gidrian and falls to the ground, coughing up blood.
Ervus, the obsidian earth elemental, along with Lybria, a wind/water elemental, and Pira, a flame elemental, they began circling the shattered crystal, Moros, in a speed that made it difficult for their holders to see anything other then a blur.
Klarese grows alarmed, "What are they-" before she could finish her question, Rima began screaming as Moros began disintegrating.
Gidrian cracks a grin as he breaks from his bonds, shifting into a worgen. He throws Klarese into the monitor and runs over to grab Rima's sword and throw it towards Sheik. Thinking fast, the elf man jumps to his feet, using the thrown sword to cut his bound wrists. Quickly the two men begin unbinding the other holders. Klarese holds her hand up, using telekinesis to use the sword in the air and aim it towards the group in a threatening manner.
"Nice try, Klarese." Sheik flashes a grin as the sword melts into nothing.
Glaring the woman yanks Rima up by her arm, speaking harshly she says, "Move and I'll turn her into a mindless puppet and have her jump off this air ship."
Hearing this, Moros forces Rima's body to suddenly shimmer and begin fading from this plane of existence. By doing this, the three elements stop and eye the broken crystal.
"Wh-what?!" Klarese shouts as her hand closes around nothing.
"Game over." Greg says as he cracks his knuckles.
Together, the five crystal holders use their powers in unison to take the crystal, Phronous, from Klarese. The shard forms high above them, just out of reach. Klarese falls on her hands and knees, gasping.
"Is the nightmare finally over?" Is all she can manage to say before falling unconscious.
Sheik turns to Greg, "Try to see what you can do with the machi-"
An alarm began to blare loudly, red lights flashing in the room obnoxiously.
"Aw fuck." Alex says, shifting into a large white wolf.
"You guys hold them off." Greg says, running up the short steps and to the control panel.
The ship began to rock and the sound of explosions going off could be heard, the monitor growing fuzzy and unable to see anything below. Greg begins working with what he could as the door across the monitor begins ringing as people bash against it.
