~ Fifth Element
Its finally Thursday, the day we pack our bags for our great adventure ahead. As I continue to write, can't help but feel that the posts that my fingers dance to have really evolved from my first posting. I write what my mind thinks and for a while now it has been all about her. I admit I can't really remember the last time my mind did not think of her or when did my post did not mention her. Time really does fly and blinking my eyes, its the eve of the first item on our list. Today, I'm thinking of Bruce Willis and the Fifth Element, and decided to tear up my entire script to rewrite this. You're absolutely right baby that we can choose how to use and do with what is given to us, I would rather choose to smile for you. So I'm writing this for you today baby, this is our Fifth Element.
The movie, Fifth Element tells that every five thousand years, aligned with the movements of the planets, a 'Great Evil' whose purpose is to destroy life will appear. This great evil has been prophesied to appear exactly on the 1st of July in the year of the Cow according to the Great Annals of "Utterly Stupid Jobs & Tasks at AirAsia". The great evil was....
In preparation for the appearance in 2009, a group of aliens called the Friends of EvilJanet (FoJ) arrived on Earth in 1983 to extract the only weapon capable of defeating the Great Evil, a collection of four stones representing the Classical Elements of wind, water, fire and earth and the eponymous mysterious Fifth Element that kicks start the other four into life. After taking the weapons, the FoJ present a key to a priest and tell him to pass the information regarding their mission through future generations in preparation for the coming of the Great Evil's arrival.
In 2009, as prophesised, the Great Evil appears and destroys an entire colony of ants. When the FoJs attempt to deliver the Elements back to Earth, they are ambushed by another alien race, the shape-shifting Megatrons and are taken captive. The fifth element unfortunately was missing. Earthly scientists are able to recover a portion of the Fifth Element and use a reconstitution device to recreate it, whereupon it takes the form of an elf named "EvilJanet" described as "the perfect being".
EvilJanet, terrified of her unfamiliar environment, escapes the scientists and arrives in the care of taxi driver, Gu Mi, a former specialist in the Dreaded Army of AirAsia. Gu Mi is abruptly pulled into the entire chaos as the chasing Megatrons give chase but safely delivers her to Priest BoBo, the current custodian of the FoJ knowledge. Gu Mi, BoBo, and her acolyte, FeiChuYuk help EvilJanet recover, though Gu Ming is forced out of BoBo' apartment before learning her purpose. Bobo learns from EvilJanet that the four Elements were not carried by the FoJ but instead entrusted to Diva Singlikecrap, a singer currently performing on a luxury space liner at LCCT, and that EvilJanet must recover the stones from her.
Meanwhile, wealthy industrialist King Tron who attempted to gain the stones as urged by the Great Evil was dealt a serious blow. After learning that the Megatrons' attack on the FoJs was unsuccessful in recovering the stones, King Tron betrays and kills them, unknowing allowing some of the Megatrons to feign death. The surviving Megatrons decide to take revenge and gain the stones for themselves as King Tron leaves them assuming them for dead.
Gu Mi finds a pleasant surprise with the transmission of a hologram of General Munro waiting for him in his apartment. General Munro informs him that he has been re-drafted into the Army in order to travel to meet the Diva, having rigged the annual Gemini Croquette Contest to allow Gu Mi to win. The contest is the only way to obtain the tickets to meet the Diva. The general has plans for Gu Mi to also meet with the Diva and recover the lost stones.
The transmission is interrupted by the arrival of BoBo and EvilJanet. Gu Mi, learning of EvilJanet's need, offers to help, but is knocked out by BoBo, who steals his winning transportation tickets and departs with EvilJanet. Gu Mi accepts the assignment from General Munro and hurries to the Airport, intercepting BoBo, FeiChuYuk, and EvilJanet before they board their flight, and escorts EvilJanet. The Megatrons and King Tron's assistant are rebuffed and refused entry by the ticketing agent when they try to pose and impersonate Gu Mi. BoBo instructs FeiChuYuk to prepare the temple before successfully sneaking aboard the passenger spaceplane to follow EvilJanet and Gu Mi before it leaves.
On the flight, Gu Mi meets interstellar radio personality Prince, who escorts him for being the contest winner. Upon arrival at LCCT, Gu Mi is taken by Prince to prepare for the show, while EvilJanet waits near the Diva's quarters in order to retrieve the stones from her after her performance. The Diva's show is interrupted by the Megatrons, and the Diva is fatally shot. Gu Mi learns from her dying words that the Diva has hidden the stones inside her body; after she dies, Gu Mi extracts them, giving them to Prince to hold as he defeats the Megatrons and saves the rest of the passengers and crew.
EvilJanet is also able to defeat another pack of the Megatrons that attempt to ransack the Diva's quarters. King Tron, having flown himself to LCCT, confronts EvilJanet at the Diva's quarters, injuring her and forcing her to retreat as she leaves behind a case assumed to be holding the four stones entrusted to the Diva. King Tron allows her to leave believing he has the case contains the stones while starting a time bomb.
When Gu Mi goes to recover EvilJanet, at the same time, King Tron finds the case to be empty. King Tron re-enters the liner just as Gu Ming, EvilJanet, BoBo, and Prince leave it on King Tron's ship. King Tron is able to stop his bomb; but the defeated Megatrons activate another bomb, destroying King Tron and the liner.
The four return to the temple on Earth as the Great Evil rushes towards the planet. There, Gu Mi finds EvilJanet disillusioned and unwilling to perform her role, believing that humans will destroy themselves despite her rescuing them. As they arrange the stones in the temple to form the weapon, they are briefly confused by their ignorance of the weapon's operation, but discover that each stone is triggered by the presence of the Classical element to which it corresponds. Everything was in place pending the role of EvilJanet who was still reluctant to save the planet.
Gu Mi convinces EvilJanet to perform her role, embraces her, and kisses her saying that the world is worth saving and that he would always be with her. At this, EvilJanet releases the weapon's "Divine Light", causing the Great Evil to become a new moon in Earth's orbit.
Some say that they perished when they unleashed the four elements. Some say they drifted to space never to be seen again. Some say they found a measure of peace and fell in love to the end of days.

PS. Bie, you're my fifth element, compared to the three essentials of life; you, water and air, I can hold my breath for moments, survive without water for days but you, I can not live without you even for a second. That baby, is how much I need, how much I love you. I treasure you now and for a lifetime.
