After Ace spotted two colossal monsters…
In the midst of the chaos, with fear echoing in every heartbeat, Ace dashed toward the nearby pet store. Time was a merciless specter, and it allowed him no respite. His purpose was clear—to secure the means to fortify his pets, the faithful companions he depended on in these dire times.
At the pet store, he acted with urgency, purchasing a decade's worth of pet food blocks of each type, stacking them with a determination that mirrored his unwavering resolve. The precious sustenance for his beloved creatures was now safely stored in his inventory.
The clamor outside grew louder and more frenzied. Panic was spreading like wildfire, a contagion of terror that drove people to flee their homes and seek refuge. Everyone, it seemed, was racing toward the shelter, their faces etched with a mixture of dread and desperation.
But Ace knew his duty extended beyond his own safety. He had responsibilities to bear, not just to himself but to his family and his loyal pets. After securing the necessary provisions, he rushed back home.
His family, visibly shaken by the impending peril, was already waiting for him. He wasted no time, picking up his communicator and dialing Nik's number. The urgency in his voice was unmistakable as he instructed his friend to bring his family to come to the 28th shelter, where safety could be found amid the looming danger.
With his family and Nik's family gathered, Ace led them to the designated shelter. It was a sanctuary from the chaos that had gripped the city, a place where they could take refuge until the storm had passed. As they made their way, Ace couldn't help but feel the weight of responsibility on his shoulders. Protecting those he held dear was his paramount concern.
Once inside the shelter, Ace's mind was consumed by a singular thought—he needed to boost the strength of his pets. They were his most loyal companions, and in these hard times, they would play a crucial role in defending their loved ones.
In the depths of determination, Ace initiated a process he had long prepared for. With meticulous care, he fused together five years' worth of dragon elemental blocks and an equivalent quantity of ice elemental blocks in his inventory. The alchemical reaction was a sight to behold, as the blocks merged and transformed, yielding something extraordinary.
From the fusion process emerged two remarkable creations. The first was a shining Dragon element block adorned with the emblem of a dragon symbol. It seemed to hum with latent power, as if it were an artifact forged by the gods themselves. The second was a shining ice element block, featuring the distinctive ice symbol, its surface glistening with an aura of frosty energy.

Ace cradled these newfound treasures, feeling the pulse of energy within them. They were not mere blocks of substance but reservoirs of elemental might, each one holding the potential to unleash a torrent of power.
With reverence, Ace approached his Dragon Turtle and Ice Phoenix, With a sense of ceremony, he bestowed upon them these remarkable food blocks, the shining Dragon element block and the sparkling ice element block.
The connection was instantaneous, as if the pets had been waiting for this infusion of power. The Dragon Turtle embraced the dragon's gift, its scales shimmering with newfound vitality. The Ice Phoenix absorbed the icy essence, its feathers aglow with an otherworldly frost.
With the tumultuous events unfolding around them, Ace couldn't afford to waste a moment. As Dragon Turtle and Ice Phoenix peacefully entered their slumber, he knew that their rest was but a prelude to their forthcoming power.
Ace had set his sights on a clear goal—10 days from now, he would have not two, but four pets at the Adolescent Phase, standing ready to confront the looming menace. The very thought of their progress filled him with a sense of pride and reassurance.
But Ace's responsibilities didn't end there. He recognized the importance of ensuring that Allie's pets were equally prepared for the trials that lay ahead. He had always been one to extend a helping hand, especially when it came to his family and friends. With that in mind, he approached Allie.
In the midst of the anxious atmosphere permeating their shelter, Ace quietly handed over 500 strange energy stones to Allie. It was a silent gesture, an unspoken promise of solidarity in the face of adversity. These precious stones, each brimming with potent energy, were to be placed within the pet space, where they would serve as a source of sustenance and growth for their loyal companions.
Amid the chaos and uncertainty that had engulfed their world, Ace sought solace in the shelter that had become their sanctuary. The radio, a lifeline to the outside world, broadcasted reports of the ongoing battle against the monstrous invaders. As he listened intently to the updates, one piece of information struck him like a thunderbolt—the two colossal creatures were not merely in the Adult Phase; they had surpassed even that formidable stage, reaching the Ascendant Phase. This revelation sent shivers down his spine.
The Ascendant Phase, a realm beyond the Adult Phase, was a realm of unimaginable power. These creatures, now in their Ascendant Phase, were forces of nature, capable of wreaking havoc on a scale that defied comprehension. Ace couldn't help but feel a sense of trepidation at the prospect of facing such formidable adversaries.
In the shelter, as the days dragged on, the battle outside showed no signs of abating. The relentless clash between humanity and the invading beasts continued unabated. Fear and uncertainty permeated the shelter's atmosphere, with each passing moment heightening the tension.
Yet amidst the turmoil, Ace held onto a glimmer of hope—a beacon that guided him through the darkest hours. He knew that in just seven more days, the evolution of his two remaining pets would be complete. With each passing day, they drew closer to their full potential, a potential that might prove crucial in the days ahead.
