Under the tutelage of the current Guardians, the new successors train rigorously. Kai trains under his father, learning to channel his fiery spirit into controlled bursts of power. Lila practices her healing abilities and learns to communicate with aquatic creatures. Terra hones his connection with the earth, gaining the ability to manipulate plants and summon the strength of the land. Zephyr trains in high altitudes, mastering the art of wind control and strategic combat.
Their training is a mix of physical, mental, and spiritual challenges. They must learn ancient techniques, face simulated battles, and meditate to understand their elemental connections. Despite their efforts, the young Guardians struggle with self-doubt and the pressure of living up to their predecessors.
Their training is cut short when the Shadow King's minions launch a surprise attack, stealing the elemental crystals and plunging the kingdoms into chaos. The once-protected lands are now vulnerable, and natural disasters begin to threaten the kingdoms as the balance of magic is disrupted.
