So, as I've been working on DRAGOONS Chapter 1, I've been having trouble with one particular scene where I introduce both the sorry state of the world and the Dragoons' powers and duties and knights and caretakers of their world in which they save a village for ma flood (later shown to be sent by the villains as a distraction as they try to swipe the MacGuffin.) For some reason, it hasn't been clicking for me as I go back and revisit it and I think I finally realized a reason why it isn't quite working for me....
I can't think of a logical way for half of the team to logically be useful with their powers in such a situation.....
The big problem I realized I'm having with the flood scene in DRAGOONS chapter one is that I'm having trouble figuring out who to show off everyone's powers in a way that doesn't feel tacked on. Like, I can think of how naturally useful Auster and Selena would be in a flood situation (Use earth powers to build dam, use water powers to redirect water away from people.) But I can't think of a way to implement Flare's fire powers or Fubuki's ice/wind powers in a useful and sensical manner in such a situation if that makes sense. I mean, Flare could use his powers to dry up the waters, but other than that, I'm not really sure what else to do with such a disaster, hence my umping and erring over it recently.
What do you guys think would be a better situation for the heroes to encounter in which they could better use their powers together to solve said problem?
Thanks for the help and advice.
