Gathering of the elemental warriors, helping the water village, elemental possessors connecting, Ashura's midnight walk, and Ashura's Training regiment

Both Ashura and Kameo reached the water village around the afternoon. Ashura looks around and notices that most of the houses reside in the water. He even notices several squid like creatures that belong within the water village. He collects the runes from Kameo and the two begins to look around. Ashura dives underwater after gathering the items that he and Kameo needs and found all the elemental fruit in the area. He uses his underwater abilities and opens up a batch of clams and finds a pearl.

He grabs the pearl and takes it to a set of starfish with the owner. The owner says, "Thank you. I needed three pearls to set up here, but I couldn't find any. Can you please look for the others?" Ashura nods and places the pearl on the farthest star from the owner. He then dives into another section of water and begins to look for the rest. After 30 minutes, he collects the other 2 pearls and after giving them to the clerk, he was rewarded with three elemental fruit. The clerk's wife came up and says, "There is an elixir waiting in our home. You can have it." Ashura bows to her in thanks and heads over to grab the elixir. After that, he looks for other people to help out and take challenges from and was rewarded with 9 more elemental fruit. With that done, he looks for Kameo.

When he meets up with Kameo at the entrance, the two begins to look through their equipment. Kameo also notices the extra elemental fruit and asks with a smirk, "Helping people out, are we?" He nods, "Yep. Hid my signature to prevent others from seeing my foreign abilities. I have the ability to see and breathe underwater to get a set of pearls for a manager to get an elemental fruit along with two elixirs of life." He hands her one and the two drinks it up to get extra health. Kameo thinks, 'He is smart to use his abilities like this. He is careful when he is alone and he knows what people needs when they need it. He is a pure warrior.' Packing the equipment up, the two possessors head out to find the next shadow troll.

After a bit of searching, the two finds a pair of shadow trolls with a pair of boulder like creatures inside them. Kameo states, "That's Major Ruin. That elemental warrior is very useful to get up ramps and other objects and is also known for their hopping and cyclone abilities. We better follow them." But before she could move, Ashura says, "Hold up. They destroyed the main path into the cave up their. We need to destroy the rock creatures to break them apart, and then use rubble to get them back into place." True to his word, the path was destroyed and three monsters came to life from the path. They were pillar like and were just moving around with slow movements. Doing as Ashura suggested the two breaks the three creatures apart and repaired the path into the lobster cave. After that, the two heads into the cavern, looking for the shadow trolls.

When they entered the cavern, they notice flame statues on the pillars in the caverns. Kameo looks at Ashura and asks, "What should we do here?" He replied, "Use Ash to light the wall pillars. His Wildfire ability can climb up walls and light those kinds of things for us." The two warriors switches to Ash and lights the pillars, opening the lair entrance and heads inside, ready to catch the next elemental warrior.

In the lair, Kameo warns Ashura, "The next 8 shadow trolls, four for each of us, will take three hits from now on. The final will have to take 4 hits to die." Ashura nods, but notices something strange. All of his warriors are in his shadow troll, and the troll splits into 5 trolls. He speaks, "Now I have my work cut out against me. I have to fight 5 trolls now." She speaks, "Do so and you will be closer to completing your hybrid form." He nods, "I know, but when you said that the fifth has to take 4 hits, how should I know which one will take the certain amount of hits?" She replies, "Thermite is the last warrior. He is the red one. Good luck." And Kameo heads off to fight her shadow troll.

Ashura looks at the trolls and focuses his spirit energy into his body and does a spin attack, knocking out 16 troll spirits at once and throws them at the 5 shadow trolls, killing them instantly. One shadow troll was lucky to survive and Ashura has one more spirit to use. He runs at the shadow troll and uses the spirit to kill him by slashing his head off. The five elemental warriors stand in front of him and he absorbs them one by one. When he finishes absorbing them, he notices their changes.

Major Ruin's youngling self ate a light orb and begins to bounce around while changing colors to match Ashura's hair color with spikes matching his aura. Deep Blue, one of the 2 water creatures, melts into the ground and begins to take another shape, bigger and meaner with 2 jet ports from his arms like two hoses while the other tentacles are for walking on land. He also notices Flex's body change by compressing into an orb of water with his eyes in the middle before growing 4 tentacles for his arms while 1 tentacle for his leg with his two eyes growing out from the top on a pair of stalks. Forty Below, the creature of ice, begins to turn into a giant snowball before the ball begins to shrink with a bigger figure getting on top of it for his leg. Thermite, the last fire creature, ate a light orb like major ruin and turns into an ant like creature. Then a cannon filled with lava lands on top of him and he lifts it up, completing his transformation. Major ruin is black with blue spikes and gold eyes, deep blue with black skin and gold claws and hoses and blue eyes, flex with black skin, blue ends on his tentacles and gold eyes, Forty below with black skin, blue snow patches along with a blue snowball, and brown eyes, and Thermite with black skin, blue antennas, gold cannon with white lava, and gold eyes, completing the set.

Ashura notices that he has two warriors remaining and he knows that he has to help rescue the ancestors to receive them. He even notices his body changing with his wings becoming more durable to withstand anything and not break or tear, his arms becoming bulkier, becoming taller, now at 6 feet, along with longer hair that reached the base of his spine, Elvin ears, and blue eyes. He notices Kameo finished with her shadow troll and collected her warrior. With that, the two leave.

After the two left the layer, Ashura transforms into major ruin and smashes the lobster cages, grabbing the extra runes. Leaving the cove and finding more elemental fruit, the two begins to upgrade their warriors' abilities. Ashura bought all the abilities of his warriors and Kameo bought all of the abilities of her major ruin. With that, Kameo says, "We have to head towards the next shadow troll. Do you see him?" Ashura growls, "I can sense him. Follow me." The two transforms into major ruin and scales up a ramp into a different area. With that, the climb for the shadow troll begins.

After 2 hours of rugged climbing and fighting all the enemies, thankfully Ashura's healing abilities came with his evolvement, the two found the cave for the next lair entrance. After gathering the deep blue elemental warrior for Kameo, the two went back into the village. Seeing that it was night, the two decided to rest for the night. But as the village went into a deep sleep with Kameo included, Ashura stayed up, pondering his thoughts.

He thinks, 'This is getting harder than I thought. I already received 4/5 of the elemental warriors and Kameo only has half of what I got. I got to help her use these warriors more effectively. I noticed huge amounts of potential untapped within her along with all the warriors. I got to train myself and create a huge variety of moves for them. I myself have to train to get used to this transformation. I am near my completion and I got to learn about these elves.' He looks at Kameo and smiles, 'She is so beautiful. Her body's tone color is glowing in the moonlight along with her hair, being smooth and black, like mine. Not only that, but she is strong, fast, confident, courageous, and many other things.' He sighs, 'Maybe Halis is right. Maybe I do have a thing for her, but I don't know about her having the same feelings.' He gets up and heads out around the village, getting some fresh air. Unknown to him, Kameo was watching him ever since she heard him sigh and leave.

She thought, 'I know that Ashura was thinking about helping me out with the warriors and learn new moves to help me out with advanced maneuvers. I don't blame him for what is happening right now.' She smiles and thinks, 'He is the only boy that has ever gained my attention. He has the same abilities as me along with the same characteristics, perhaps even more than I could think. He has the same skin and hair colors that I do and is extremely well built for his age, even if I am the same age as him.' She gets up and follows Ashura into the night, wondering what he is going to say when he stops.

After 30 minutes of walking, Ashura stops at the waterfall that has an underwater entrance to the temple. He sighs. He knows that he has to rescue Lenya, Kameo's second ancestor, from Kalus, but he was thinking so hard on his feelings for Kameo. Kameo comes up behind him, knowing what he is thinking and sat by him near the water. She says, "Lovely night isn't it?" He nods, "Yeah, it sure is." The two possessors look at each other and felt the tension between the two. He sighs, "Have you ever found love in your life while you fought the trolls?" She slowly shook her head, "No I haven't. I have been fighting for so long that I do not know the feeling at all. That is, until you came along." He looks at her confused as she continues, "You have the same characteristics that I have that are capable of stopping the trolls. Not only that but you are similar to me as the opposite gender. You have captured my heart ever since we rescued Halis." He says, "Same with me for you." Now it was her turn to be confused when he says, "I never found a heart for any girl back at my home. A few were attractive, but I shook them off ever since when I knew that I could never win their heart. When I met you, I was changing. I have the same powers that you have, and I have many unique abilities ever since. I tried to hide myself from the others to not scare them, but I was failing when I'm around you. You won my heart ever since the beginning, but I hid it until you said the exact same thing towards me."

Kameo smiles, "Well then, it looks like we both have feelings for each other." Ashura smiles, "Yeah, and I was still shocked when Halis embarrassed us both because of this." Kameo giggles, "Yeah, Halis tends to do that every now and then. He can always be a romantic sometimes." Ashura grins, "He reminds me of a friend back home, and he used to be a romantic, even with being a bit of a perv at times." She giggles, "Wow. We have some similar friends and relatives as well. I am surprised." He softly smiles, "So many characteristics that we share. I can't believe that a princess was able to win my heart." Kameo grins, "Yeah, but you are a prince of aura and prince of champions. I automatically knew about them and I was surprised that you have those abilities, Handsome." With that she kisses him on the cheek. Ashura begins to blush like mad, but turns his head to her and says, "Well now. Seems someone has a hard time controlling themselves. My turn, beautiful," and kisses her passionately on the lips.

Kameo closes her eyes and moans into the kiss. She knew this would happen. She wraps her arms around his neck and pulls him closer to her. After a while they break the kiss, a thin trail of saliva connected to their lips. Ashura blushes like mad and says goodnight before finding a place to lay down at in the shade and falls asleep. Kameo heads over to where he is sleeping at and lays down beside him, her head resting on his chest, falling asleep in the moonlight.

The next morning came and the two possessors of the elemental warriors came up at a secluded spot and all of the warriors came out of the wotnot. Ashura tells Kameo, "We got 5 weeks until the water queen is summoned. Might as well train the warriors here." Kameo nods, but asks, "How do we do that?" He says, "Leave that to me." He walks over to the warriors and tells them of what he wants them to do. After 5 minutes of explanation, the warriors nod and move into separate areas and begin training. Ashura walks to Kameo and says, "We will work on our close combat procedures just in case if we can't use the warriors in certain areas. Are you ready?" Kameo nods and says, "I sure am. Teach me what you know, Ashura Satoshi Ketchum." Ashura nods and begins the 5 week training period.
