Hoggish Greedly and Rigger are drilling for oil in a protected area, and their drilling wakes up Gaia, the Spirit of the Earth; Distressed at the destruction going on all over the planet, she calls in five young people from all over the globe, and gives each a powerful ring: Kwame, from Africa, with the power of Earth; Wheeler, from North America, with the power of Fire; Gi, from Asia, with the power of Water; Linka, from the Soviet Union (later to be referred to as Eastern Europe), with the power of Wind; and Ma-Ti, from South America, with the power of Heart.
