Chapter 1
On the other side of the galaxy, there lies a planet in turmoil ravaged by a group of space pirates, their sole purpose is to kill and plunder. They had been at war with this planet for almost Fifteen years, terrorizing its citizens, robbing, raping and murdering them in cold blood. This planet was known as Fieria, its population was made up of sentient creatures that were resistant to most forms of fire. The group of pirates were a reptile like species from a neighboring planet, its name is not pronounceable in English, or almost any language except their own. They basically hated anyone who was not of their own kind, and would do anything to eliminate them and steal their technology to better themselves.
Not too long ago, at the start of the attacks, Fierian scientists were hard at work developing a way to fight back at this menace, as before these attacks they were a peaceful, non violent race of explorers. They developed light speed warp engines before they even made their first weapon. That first weapon was just a laser mining machine and hadn't even been thought of to be used to cause harm until they met these reptiles. That day didn't fare well for anyone. These creatures were approached with good intent, the Fierians hoping to establish some sort of trading system with them upon discovering their planet and finding it was inhabited.
This journey came to an abrupt end as the creatures attacked them, ripping them apart limb from limb. After they murdered the good natured Fierians, they stripped their ship apart, taking anything they could to advance their own technology. One of them, not realizing the danger involved with the machine he was about to touch, fired the laser mining equipment, destroying the hillside in front of the ship. Realizing its potential, he tested it on one of his own, and it instantly ripped a hole in his companion. The rest of this group decided it was best to take the entire thing back with them to discover how it actually worked. So they packed it all back to their nearest base and started to tinker with all of it.
A short while later, these creatures were now using pistols based on the laser mining equipment and terrorizing the entire planet of Fieria. Now Five years after the war had started, the Fierian scientists had finally come up with an answer to their prayers, creating a gems, when worn by the user, would grant them the power to control fire itself. The scientist who created these gems only made Five in total, Red, Blue, Yellow, Green and Black. The Black crystal has a story all of its own that we will get to later. The Green one had been locked away, and was thought destroyed in one of the attacks. The others had been given out to three Fierians, Two brothers and their sister, willing to fight to save their planet as the scientists had no desire to risk their lives themselves.
When they were first given the Gems, an unexpected thing happened, their physical forms changed as well, not even their creators predicted this. Their muscle mass increased, they could now create fire from thin air, their raw physical power increased, and so did their speed as well, not only that, they could now fly. They were cautioned by their Queen, who was present at the time of their new gifts being bestowed on them, to not use their powers recklessly as there were innocent lives that could be put in danger. They all agreed with her that using caution would be for the best. Now they were off to test out their powers and try to save what was left of their race.
Hunting the creatures down proved to be a task in itself as there were so damn many of them. There were countless populated areas across the planet, thousands of the creatures and only three of them to deal with it. One on One, the creatures stood no chance, small groups of them fair a little better, but massive groups were still an issue. The lasers fired from the pistols are not a product of fire, and our heroes invulnerability was made useless. Sure they have their speed, and incredible powers, but in order to deal with a massive group of these creatures on the level that is needed, they would have to kill many innocents in the area too, and that they would not do. Their only resort in these situations was to run.
