We begin with a voiceover
explanation from the protagonist with establishing shots. The voiceover
explains about the four nations of the world, the Earth Colony, Fire Kingdom,
Water Nation and Air Tribe. This voiceover also explains the magic system
within the world of the film where around 60% of people are born with the power
to control one of four elements. Fire, Air, Water, Earth and how the
re-incarnation of the Power Spirit is the only person who can control all four
elements and keep the world at peace.
Our
story begins in the Earth Colony. The protagonist (Shu) is in school.
The bell has just rung for lunch and all the children are leaving the classroom
to go and eat. The headteacher stops Shu when he's about to leave the class
and important looking people enter the room. These people turn out to be
government officials who inform him that he's the new reincarnation of the
Spirit of Power and the only person who has the power to stop the Water Nation
from creating a war.
Since Shu has already got the power
to control the element of earth, he sets out on a journey across the world to
find masters of each element to help him fulfil his destiny.
Act 2 –
Rising Action
Shu travels to the Fire Kingdom to begin learning the
second element, fire. Shu is told that the master of fire is waiting for him in
a town, but he must be the one to find them. Shu runs around the town searching
for the master and ends up in the marketplace. He asks an old man who’s running
a fruit stall if he’s the master Shu is looking for, but he shakes his head
informing Shu that he’s never seen a fire master anywhere in this town. A young
and very attractive girl, who looks to be a native to the land of fire, about a
year older than Shu, approaches him and claims to know the master of fire
personally. The girl introduces herself as Lio and begins to explain how she is
the fire master Shu has been searching for. Shu stares in disbelief since he
never expected his teacher to be someone around his age.
Lio begins to teach Shu how to control fire. Although it’s
not going very well since he isn’t able to create a burst of fire larger than
his index finger. Shu’s confidence is then deflated. Lio explains to Shu that
his inability to create fire is due to his confidence and emotion. Since fire is the
element of power and a mainly offensive element and since Shu is a timid
person, he isn’t particularly inept with this element.
Act 3 –
Climax
There’s screaming coming from the town. Shu and Lio rush to
find out what’s creating this commotion, only to find Water Nation soldiers destroying the town. Shu and Lio begin to fight off the soldiers. Only to be captured and put onto a Water Nation ship after a second battalion of troops flanks them from either side.
Act 4 - Falling Action
In chains, Lio and Shu struggle in an attempt to get free. Shu gradually grows more angry to the point where he screams at the top of his lungs. Due to his heightened emotions and anger, at the moment he screamed he began to breathe fire. With his newfound connection to controlling fire, Shu melts the chains away and runs to the door of the room they're being held in. Being on a ship, there is no Earth for him to control so his only hope in making it out is to use fire. Shu and Lio run in an attempt to find an escape route. They turn a corner and are greeted by 2 Water Nation soldiers. Shu explains how he now has a chance against them since he's able to control fire. He throws a fireball at one of the soldiers only for it to be rendered completely useless by their manipulation of water. Lio instructs Shu to get behind her since she's a fire master. She makes an attempt to fight off the soldiers but is injured badly.
After seeing his new friend hurt so badly, it sends Shu into a state of shock. His eyes turn white, and his body is taken over by the Spirit of Power which uses its knowledge of past its lives to control fire to perfection, his senses and strength are also heightened and he is able to single-handedly fight off the soldiers on the ship. Due to the sheer power used, Shu blacks out and is left laying on the ship. At this point, survivors from the town come aboard searching for Lio and Shu. The survivors bring them both back to the hospital.
Act 5 - Denouement
Shu wakes up the next day and is made aware of why he's in hospital. Shu asks to see Lio and is told that she is in critical condition and may not make it. He asks the nurse if he's allowed to see her. The nurse then agrees. Shu enters the Lio's hospital room and kneels down on the side of the bed and begins to cry and explain how he never wanted any of this to happen and if he wasn't the reincarnation of the Power Spirit, none of this would have happened. He also explains how he has to leave to learn the next element in the cycle, air, and how he hopes Lio will be able to join him on his journey after she recovers.
