Episode 1: Legend of the Elemental Gems
Description
This story was started on January 7, 2011, and finished on March 3, 2011. So far, one year has passed since the events of The Last Story, and the world has been at peace ever since. That is, until Dr. Robotnik returned after his defeat in Robotnik Strikes Back, with yet another world domination plan. This time, he's bent on obtaining the three mysterious, powerful Elemental Gems, which each contain a powerful Goddess with control of one of the three basic elements; fire, water, and ice.

Miscellaneous Facts
- Part 14 was originally intended to be the final chapter of the story.
- This is the only Elements of Power episode so far where Honey the Cat does not appear. The same thing applies to Squash, Seedra, Shock, and Storm (even though they were mentioned).
- The concept of Mephiles' revival being incomplete (as well as the gibberish and garbled phrases that he often spouted) was parodying Sigma from Mega Man X6.
- On the subject of Mephiles, his, as well as Iblis' (and thus Solaris') and Wechnia's appearances were last-minute additions to the story, since they originally were not going to appear (since they were presumed dead after the events of Knuckles' Chaotix: The Last Story).
- The Christmas Special aside, this is the only episode so far that doesn't have an ending that's split into two parts.
- On a related note, this is also the only story so far, where the nineteenth chapter was not split into five different sections.

Episode 3: The Goddess of Destruction
Description
The third installment of SolarBlaze's Elements of Power fanfic series, started on August 17, 2011, and finished on June 23, 2012. In this episode, Dr. Robotnik (as always) resumes his plans for world domination once again. Before putting them into effect, he has decided to sniff out the spy who has been leaking information behind his back for the past month. That person turned out to be none other than Slush, the Goddess of Ice. Determined to make sure that information about his latest project, "EG-005" (pronounced "Eee-Jee-Double-Oh-Five") doesn't get leaked, Robotnik has decided to capture the Ice Goddess by turning her into a card, using Dr. Nega's camera. A week later, after almost completing EG-005's development, the doctor tried infusing the power of the Chaos Rings with the Multi-Element Gem that he created, but his machine, the Egg Merger, began to go haywire. Before exploding, it managed to fuse the two powers together, resulting in the creation of the "Elemental Chaos Rings". As the machine exploded, it scattered them all throughout Angel Island. Will Knuckles and the Chaotix be able to rescue Slush, and retrieve the Elemental Chaos Rings in time before Robotnik can? Find out as the saga continues!

Miscellaneous Facts
- This is the first story in the Elements of Power series where neither Mephiles or Iblis made an appearance.
- This is also the only numbered episode that did not feature Dr. Nega.
- Originally, SolarBlaze intended for Nack and Bean to escape from the police in Part 5, but ended up deciding against it.
- On a somewhat related note, Amy stated in the ending that she was once used as a shield by Nack during a battle against Knuckles. That was a reference to the Sonic X-Treme-based fanfic that SolarBlaze is currently planning.
- This is the only story in the Elements of Power series so far to contain a fancharacter made by someone other than SolarBlaze (which he was given permission to use).
Christmas Special
Description
This is a sort of "filler saga" that SolarBlaze wrote, which takes place between the third and fourth Elements of Power episodes, consisting of four chapters. It was started on December 9, 2011, and finished a few weeks later on December 31, 2011. So far, six months have passed since the events of The Goddess of Destruction, and it is now the month of December. During this time, Cream the Rabbit and her mother, Vanilla decide have a Christmas gathering, inviting many of their friends in the process (which, of course, includes the Chaotix team). To everyone's surprise, Dr. Robotnik shows up...as a party guest! Even more surprising than that, the doctor claims to have changed, and relinquished his evil ways for good. Is he telling the truth, or is this a clever way of gaining the heroes' trust in order to lure them into a trap? Find out as you read on!
Chapters
Miscellaneous Facts
- This is the first story in the Elements of Power series where Part 1 did not contain a volcanic setting of any sort.
- In Part 3, Sonic and Tails expressed surprise at the fact that Dr. Nega was behind the Chao kidnappings during the events of Sonic Rivals 2; this stems from the fact that neither they, nor Knuckles or Rouge, ever found out his true identity during their respective stories in the game (since Nega was disguised as Robotnik).
- This story has the distinction of being the only one in the series where a new Elemental Goddess was not introduced.
Episode 4: Dimensional Chaos
Description
The fourth episode of SolarBlaze's Elements of Power fanfic series, started on June 28, 2012. Taking place seven months after The Goddess of Destruction and one month after the EoP Christmas Special, a mysterious Scorch look-alike, who claims to be from another dimension, invades Dr. Robotnik's base to steal the blueprints for the EG Experiments (Squash, Seedra, Shock, Storm, and Silvra), as well as the Egg Merger, the machine that was used to create them. Who is this mysterious look-alike? More importantly, who sent her, and for what purpose has she stolen these things? Find out as the saga continues!

Miscellaneous Facts
- This episode has the distinction of being the only one where neither Knuckles, Scorch, or Dr. Robotnik made an appearance in the first chapter.
- The scene in the fourth chapter where Sonic sarcastically states (to Nack) that small knives are his weakness was a reference to a scene from The Amazing Spiderman.
- In this aforementioned chapter, Mina Mongoose was also given a mention, making that the first and only time throughout the Elements of Power series that the Archie comics were referenced.
- During Scorch's conversation with Amy in the tenth chapter, the former recalled a time where she was being stalked by Denomi for "protection"; this is a reference to a roleplay that SolarBlaze has done on another website.
Christmas Special #2
Description
Taking place one year after the previous Christmas Special, Cream and Vanilla decide to have another Christmas gathering, and invite their friends over. Somewhere along the way, Metal Sonic Version 3.0 makes an unexpected, dramatic appearance. Shortly after his arrival, he immediately begins targeting Vanilla, of all people! Why has Metal Sonic 3.0 come, and for what reason is he after her?
Chapters
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4a Part 4b
Miscellaneous Facts
- This story is notable for being the only one in the Elements of Power series that did not feature Dr. Robotnik.
- On a somewhat related note, this marks one of two stories in the Elements of Power series (with The Goddess of Destruction being the first) where Dr. Nega did not make an appearance.
- Although this was not the first Elements of Power story to exclude Mephiles, this is the only one where neither he, Iblis, nor Solaris were mentioned in any way, shape, or form.
- Originally, SolarBlaze had no intention of writing a second Christmas Special, due to how hectic he found things to be while writing the first one. However, once he pondered about the possibilities of a sequel, it became harder him to resist the urge.
- On a related note to the above, this story's plot was actually planned out from the start, unlike the first one's, which was entirely improvised.
- The new character, Syndra, was originally intended to debut in the fifth Elements of Power episode, Chronological Chaos (which has not been started yet, due to the fourth episode still being in progress). However, since the events of EoP Christmas Special #2 were set to take place after both of those stories, SolarBlaze decided to have her appear earlier than originally planned.
- Sometime during the story's development, SolarBlaze once considered getting permission to add some of Azuroru and BluesManZero's Number Line and EG Set 1 characters, but ended up deciding against it, since he was unsure of how they would fit in the story.
Trivia
- The name of this story was inspired by Kameo: Elements of Power.
- On a related note, this story was originally under the working title of "Knuckles' Chaotix: Elemental Gems of Power".
- The squabbles between Amy Rose and Tiara Boobowski that often take place throughout the story were inspired by the various fights and arguments between Ryoko and Ayeka in the Tenchi series.
