The next morning Shades was already at the training site. He waited till everyone was there, and then pressed a button. A humongous temple rose into the air, above the atmosphere in space. There were more than a million steps leading up to it. "Your next test will be to climb these stairs without passing out, sleeping, or dying. There are three challenges waiting for each of you along the way. At the top, inside the throne room there is a weapon of legend for each of you, previously wielded by the original element of royalties and myself hundreds of years ago. If you make it to the top, it is yours. If you fall down or rest at all then you must start over. Also, you can not use your powers once you start the journey. There is an invincible legend field that goes to the bottom of the steps that disables all your powers. You will have to rely on pure skill and clever thinking to win. Good luck. Oh, and before I forget, you only have two days to complete the climb, otherwise you'll be thrown back down. Begin." Shades said. RACE began to climb from the first step. He reluctantly kept going, wondering what challenges were in store for everyone this time.
Melody thought for a moment, then remembered something in her forest book. She made a small puddle of water, and made a purple leaf appear. She dipped it in the water and ate the leaf. Shades was looking at her, so she started climbing. She crawled up the stairs, saving her energy. Not that she needed to anyway. She had eaten a energy-forever leaf. It kept her alive for two days without eating or drinking. She got to the (whatever number is a third of a million XD) step. There was a room with her name on it, and a poison monster inside. "Not this again." She muttered. Melody took a leaf from a nearby tree, and mixed it up with a few other plants and some water. She threw the potion, inside a tiny hollow tree stump, at the monster, and it disappeared. She continued up the stairs.
(I'm just going to skip to the challenges. My weapon will be a...I dunno.)
The second monster Melody faced was a ghost-shaped monster made out of plasma energy. It grabbed a hold of Melody, starting to drain her power. It wouldn't let Melody go either. RACE faced his first opponent. It was a three-headed dog that kept trying to eat him. RACE got some rope nearby and tied its heads together. Then he jumped on top of it and took some of the leftover rope, making it into a whip. He whipped the monster, making it take him up the steps rapidly. He came to his second opponent quickly, which was a giant with a large, blunt object. RACE told the monster he was riding on to fetch it. Before the giant could pull his weapon away, the monster and RACE took it from him. RACE slammed the weapon on the giant's toes. The giant yelled in pain while grabbing its foot. RACE rode behind him and blew some air, that made him fall down the steps. He continued to ride upwards on his monster, passing Melody easily.
Melody squeezed out of its fist, because she was so small. She spotted a small hollow tree stump and filled it up with water. She splashed it with water, making it disappear. She raced up the stairs, passing everyone else. She got to her third and final challenge.

(Just to let you guys know, I'm going to a party sometime tomorrow, my mom doesn't know when, so if I stop posting that means I'm there.)
RACE finished beating up the third monster he faced with the giant, blunt object which was a dinosaur made out of steel. He whipped the monster and continued to the top. He reached the top before anyone else did. He got off the monster and petted it gently. RACE was sad to have to say goodbye, but he did. The monster barked, letting RACE know they would be back whenever RACE needs them. Then they left down the stairs and disappeared. RACE entered the throne room, going to where his label was. He picked up a legend weapon. It was a sword made out of diamond. He was automatically teleported back to the ground by Shades. "Congratulations, RACE. You're the first to complete the challenge." Shades said. RACE went over to some nearby trees and began practicing with his diamond sword.
There was a fire monster in the middle of the room. There wasn't any tree, only grass. Melody dodged its attacks, and threw all of the grass at it. It disappeared, and she got to the top. There was a sword made out of leaves. She touched it and got teleported to the bottom of the tower.
(I had school, I apologise for my absense. This time I will not skip all the challenges but beware that this will be a long post. To keep Kumadon's energy up, I'm using something that's not magic. Hehe. :3)
Kumadon quickly drank a cup of the strongest hot coffee available and started to climb the stairs. She was excited for the challenges that were about to face her. Three hours later she reached her first opponent, a electric type monster.
"You have got to be kidding me," Kumadon whispered.
The monster began to charge at Kumadon, however, she managed to dodge all of the monster's attacks thrown at her. She began to use hand-to-hand combat, each attack affecting the enemy drastically. When the monster was extremely weak, Kumadon found a sword and stabbed the monster's chest with it. The monster screamed and then quickly died.
Kumadon continued to climb the stairs. About two hours later, she reached the second challenge. It was a steel type monster. For Kumadon, it would have been easy to defeat this monster. However, she was not allowed to use her powers and there was no water or anything water-producible in the area. She still had the sword with her, but how would it be good at that time, considering that it would not be as effective as a water-based sword?
The monster stood still like it was awaiting Kumadon's attacks. It began to slowly come closer to Kumadon. By that time Kumadon was running out of options, she had to attack. Kumadon began to hit the monster with the sword. It did little effect. She tried hand-to-hand combat and that surprisingly did more damage than the sword did. She continued to punch and kick the monster. She jumped on it's head and it screamed in a ghostly, girly tone and disappeared. Now one left.
This time, it only took an hour for Kumadon to reach the final challenge. It was an air type monster. Without Kumadon's powers though, it would be a difficult battle for Kumadon indeed. She tip-toed to the back of the creature and jumped on it, which made the monster flinch and fly. Kumadon was never good at holding onto moving creatures. She began to continously stab the creature. The creature began to scream and lose control of it's flight. Kumadon screamed as well. Two minutes later, the creature and Kumadon were only 200 metres above the ground. Kumadon pulled the creature's skin and the creature took it's final breath.
Kumadon got to the ground safely and saw a sword 50 metres in front of her. It was a water sword. It had the ability to summon waves, icebergs and storms. Kumadon went to RACE, Shades and Mother Melody.
(School is inflicting with this roleplay, I won't be roleplaying much and i'm skipping my fight scences cause I'm lazy)
Blues reached the top of the tower and there was an Air Sword "Cool" He picked it up and got teleported to the others.
"Congrats to you all, goodbye." Shades went to his housed and locked the door. Melody said, "How about we test our swords on some trees? There's a spot I want to clear off." She lead them to what looked liked a jungle and started practicing,
RACE swung his sword at some vines. His sword shot diamonds at more of them to help clear the area and to help him practice. RACE put his sword back in the case. "It's almost midnight. We should each get some sleep." RACE said. The four went back to their homes and went to sleep.
Three months later, they were in Legend Town, ready to fight the Halloween Spirit. Melody took out her walkie talkie. "Keep an eye out, he could be anywhere." She said.
All of a sudden the Halloween spirit came out of the ground and looked at RACE. "Fakers!" The Halloween spirit began to choke RACE. "H-hurry, Kumadon, say the spell!" He said, struggling.
Kuma immediately ran to RACE and the spirit started to tackle Kuma. She tried to freeze the spirit, however, the spirit immediately stabbed Kuma multiple times with the sword his hand shape-shifted into.
Kuma felt pain in most of her body but she tried to ignore the blood squirting out of the wounds. She began to speak the spell. "Halloween spirit, to me you're only a lonely, sick freak. You failed to make me jolly every year. I never saw the point in Halloween except to dress in pitiful costumes to receive expired lollies. You are simply not worthy to be here. BEGONE!"
The spirit screamed and disappeared. Kuma immediately fainted due to the blood loss.
Kuma was unconscious but still healthily alive. Two hours later she found herself laying the couch with bandages wrapped all around the wounds. She saw RACE sitting on the other side of the couch. "Hi!"
"Hi, maybe this will help." RACE said. He went over to Kumadon and put a hand on her, healing her completely and refueling her energy. A fear gem landed in RACE's hand. He put it in a slot next to the slots the death, time, and storm gems were in. A new book landed on the ground. RACE picked it up. "It says our fifth opponent will be the crime spirit in Gang Town." RACE said. "It also says Shades will have to say the spell to defeat it." He added.
