Turn Coat woke to find himself facing a poster of some flashy flying team. He could not stand to tie himself down to a group. The Element of Betrayal emerged.
Hot Rod woke in the middle of a schoolyard, watching a group of older colts taunt and bully the younger students. The Element of Wrath was born.
Heart Breaker woke to the sound of an animal in distress. She found the wolf caught in a bear trap, and laughed at its pain. The Element of Cruelty surfaced.
Sneak Step woke at the museum, and saw the advertisement for Equestria's largest diamond. The Element of Greed took it for herself.
False Witness woke in the Canterlot Palace. She found herself expertly speaking her way past a royal guard. The Element of Deception escaped.
Fragment Soul woke alone in the forest. Nopony around to speak to him. The Element of Solitude arrived with no friends. . .

His revenge will begin soon enough. . .
