Elemental Gelade

After a raid by the Red Lynx sky pirates, young Coud rummages through the loot. He finds a dusty box with Ren sleeping in it. Cisqua, Rowen, and Kuea, three members of Arc Aile, board the ship offering money for Ren, but Coud refuses. The ship is attacked leaving only Coud to protect Ren. But while Coud is protecting her, Ren decides to react with Coud.

The Red Lynx airship crashes after the attack forcing everyone to evacuate. On the ground, Ren explains she is on a journey to Edel Garden. Coud decides to accommodate her. With no money or food, the three Arc Aile members tag along because it's their job to protect Ren.

Ren is kidnapped in the middle of the night by Beazon, while the five stayed at an inn for the night. Coud, Cisqua, Rowen, and Kuea infiltrate his castle to save her. After they do, they make their escape only to be intercepted by Beazon and Parl.

Escaping from Beazon and Parl, they are trapped by an army of giant beasts called Laguras. They find Parl being attacked by one of the beasts. Saving her, she explains she wishes to escape and she'll help them. She leads Coud and the others to the exit except she tricked them by leading them to Beazon.

Coud meets an old friend named Rig. Saying their hellos and goodbyes, Rig is attacked by two Sting Raids. Coud asks Cisqua to help him train, but they are attacked by the Sting Raids who are using Rig's body as a shield.

The group find shelter and Coud continues his harsh training and Rowen finds a part time job. Coud is unable to control his power when reacted with Ren so he asks Rowen for help. While Rowen is at his job, the remaining four are attacked by masked men.
