But one thing had changed.

The discovery of the StarDust had created a global movement, led by the Seven Shapes.

While the Five Elements had until now acted solely for their own individual benefit, this was the first time that mutual support had begun to take shape.

The strengths of each element were finally being brought together for a goal that was shared by all.
