Fire Flyers

"His enemies were ahead of us. They dispatched an army of flaming little buggers called FIRE FLYERS to keep the orbs away from Omegaton."
― Zephyr's comment towards the Fire Flyers^[src]

Fire Flyers are small rambunctious fire elementals, who have the ability to possess any living or non living objects.

Appearance[]

Fire Flyers are small fire elementals engulfed in flames, characterized by their yellow and orange color scheme. They have solid white eyes, and their face is colored in a brownish-red hue.

Character Bio[]

Wreaking havoc on two worlds might make the Fire Flyers seem evil by nature but maybe they're just misunderstood. They are mischievous little buggers with no capacity to understand the consequences of their actions. To them the incursion of Earth is nothing more than an endless game of hide and seek, but their actions on Earth cause more chaos and challenges for our unlikely hero than he'd hope for. Fire Flyers posses important powers which is why Zephyr needs to find them, collect them and ultimately destroy them.

Origin and History[]

When Omegaton was sent from his dimension into ours, he brought with him a squad much like the Wind Warriors called the Fire Flyers. They are doing everything they can to prevent Omegaton from retrieving his orbs and returning to his own universe.

Collecting[]

When you are near an object they are hiding in, you may hear a glittering sound. They scream when captured; this lets you know you're holding them and can help you time your Fire Flyer chains.

Relationships[]

Zephyr[]

Zephyr and the Fire Flyers share an unusual relationship towards one another. In the beginning of the game, the two neither hated nor liked each other. They offer to refuel the L.O.A.D. STARR by having Zephyr capture in a destructive game of hide and seek. Zephyr, is shown to have sympathy for the little creatures, as he carried out an order to free them from Omegaton's orbs in the level Showdown with Omegaton.

Nimbus[]

Nimbus and the Fire Flyers were initially hostile at first, as they had launched an attack that left him incapacitated. They explain to Nimbus about who Omegaton really was and in return for hearing their side of the situation, they would dig an underground sanctuary to protect him from the sun's deadly UV rays.

Wind Warriors[]

Like Zephyr, the Wind Warriors partake in an endless game of hide and seek with the Fire Flyers. In return for the destruction and capturing, they offer to refuel the L.O.A.D. STARR. Following the incapacitation of Nimbus, their relationship becomes severely strained. Though, the two parties would eventually reconcile at the end of the game.

Omegaton[]

Despite originating from the same dimension, the Fire Flyers and Omegaton are hostile towards each other. Omegaton's enemies summoned the Fire Flyers to prevent him from retrieving the powerful orbs that they had taken away from him. Zephyr and the Wind Warriors, who were initially sworn to help Omegaton, were tasked with capturing the Fire Flyers under the belief that they were posing a threat to Earth. However, Omegaton's plan to retrieve the orbs by demolishing the Totems ultimately led to his enslavement of the Fire Flyers. He used their fiery essence to fuel his armor. Zephyr and the Wind Warriors eventually realized the truth and succeeded in rescuing the enslaved Fire Flyers, which ultimately led to Omegaton's demise.

Trivia[]

(Spoiler) Since they come from the backwards universe, they are villains in their own dimension but heroes in ours. This explains their devilish appearance despite them being on the side of the Wind Warriors.
The Fire Flyer is the only elemental that has the ability to possess humans and animals.
