After a virtual battle in a virtual grand canyon against a virtual bat monster our main fire hero and light girl become closer friends and the group decides to head to a pool party. While they swim there is talk of a bounty hunter and the sister investigates witch legends. After the lightning hero gives the mastermind lady every single woman's name that starts with M, our heroes fight her next monster: a Bowser-like turtle made of comics with an arm cannon. After fighting this monster in an unusually honorable battle the mastermind lady sends her umbrella, with a hologram of herself included, to kill it and prevent it from giving spoilers and taunt our heroes. Our heroes ponder what she's really after out of all this then check up on the sister's investigations then vow to stop the mastermind lady.
I liked this chapter quite a bit. We get clear personal development. We get development on the mystery of villain front. The comic monster even aesthetically feels different and fresh while the story uses what's been established well to make the context of the fight easy to understand.
Favorite Part: The monster. It's made of comics, it's basically Bowser-shaped, it has an arm cannon, and it reacts more respectably than anything before.

As we get use to the Hub and see that Western hero's at least are known in this story, but while we don't have a Man of Steel or a Wall Crawler, but we have Luka and she seems on the level so far.
Jake can handle dummies, but time to see if his title as the Radiant is just for show as things heat up with Christina.

Hey Crimson, look at stories here and there and so landed on Elements so here we are. we ignited to a fun introduction, Jake quickly kicks things off only to even quicker realize he might be a tad over his head.
Lets see if he can be prepared for when Mistress M makes her next move.

This is a fun chapter where we discovered quickly what the plot is about, the main threat and how our main characters became a hero.
The chapter gives a lot of information, but not too much and left a lot to guesses for now. At the same time, it doesn't give the feeling that we have an info dump on us as it is spread out and makes it pretty fun to read.
The fight is short, but it is the first one against a weak enemy.

I'm surprised Blair/Kali didn't break down. Then again she's focused on the mission at hand. Mirror Blair/Kali was uhh...something. The whole bit on them making sure it was them was pretty entertaining.

Okay. I loved that chapter, and was great to see Kali actually interact more with the other radiants. A dark mirror huh? Little bit unexpected there, but honestly I like this villains plan. Plus a pretty clever trap. Though Blair is probably going to be bearing herself up over such an obvious trap.

After showing that the training doll being put to use, our heroes discuss how the people who were the sources of the rage monsters are basically fine now and don't remember anything weird. Then they do their usual mutual friend teasing over past events thing. The lead's little sister is shown the control room. Our heroes see a movie they don't give good reviews and get an arrogant/mocking confrontation by the girl the ice girl doesn't like. The lightning guy offers pranks as a solution, with no signs of accepting his offer. The lead's little sister shows her brother her somewhat unorthodox detective work about the mastermind lady's name. The mastermind lady sends a message to the ice girl using an owl as a phone to try, though not very hard, to tempt her. Our heroes then discuss the owl chat and then personal drama. We don't get a monster-of-the-chapter this time, but we do get a cliffhanger into the mastermind lady's next move with 2 purple coins this time.
Not much to add beyond my abridged description. I'm a bit confused by the little sister's detective work scene. I can't fully tell what parts of what she's doing are supposed to be working or in-character silly. I also have trouble following the past drama explanations, I feel like I'm getting more of the whole story each time with the drama scenes, but they do not seem relevant to the main magical hero aspects of the plot (at least not yet).
Favorite Part: The owl chat. That's definitely a creative and low-risk way to get a villainous message across.

Okay. Interesting chapter and loved seeing more of Blair. The conspiracy theorist doesn't know just how much on the nose he is, but about the wrong individuals. I'm not surprised she's called the Midnight Maiden. Anyways fun chapter and looking forward to more.

Our wind hero is in recovery from brutal training apparently involving a snake and there is an announcement that important visitors on the dimensional alien side of things are coming later. The mastermind lady seeking angry people finally turns to drivers. The water girl's uncle comes to town with an interest in a revealed race with questionable legality. The wind guy has a cousin in this race as well. During the stakeout on the race the water girl and wind guy discuss drama that comes with relatives involved in illegal activities until they're greeted by a hologram of the mastermind lady. After the chat with her, our heroes have a meeting to clarify that this is how she's evaded capture for so long. Then our heroes meet the uncle and can tell he's a bad guy from the red in his eyes. Then the cousin appears revealing he's a villain too. Then they find it's a whole group of people who are the villain. By their rage powers combined the monster is basically a transformer robot lizard in disguise. The robot lizard attacks with strikes and oil. Once covered with oil the fire hero is able to use a kind of new attack to deal a big hit. With combined effort our heroes proceed to finish the monster by shoving water and electricity down its throat, and the monster is destroyed in a fiery explosion. The crowd seems unconscious but mostly fine this time. The mastermind lady has a bigger energy ball now.
Now that the party is gathered we get an episode that escalates things a bit. Several people are used to form the monster this time. The people that spawn the monsters are getting more personal by being related to the heroes, likely by coincidence but time will tell on that. The fight scene is more a little more involved than the previous recruitment battles.
Favorite Part: The discussion about how the Mistress M has been avoiding them all this time. I was curious about that. I also liked the part about using oil to power up the fire attack.

A possible personality arc for the ice girl comes to light. The aliens like nachos and may have a new subplot developing. More of the light girl's past arc is revealed. Our heroes talk to a guy about boxing lessons who turns out to be the wind guy. The boxing lessons scene is basically a drill sergeant scene. The guys share personal mantras with the wind guy. Then a giant boxing beast attacks. The girls who sat out the boxing lessons crash them to engage the monster. The wind guy gets his new wind power. The heroes all attack the monster. The monster is defeated. New party member acquired, and the roster is declared full.
The characters seem to respond more to the dialogue in the combat scenes than what's going on like the monster trying to destroy stuff. Of course they do respond to the threats, but the dialogue seems to take priority when there is talking to be done. Example: The boxing coach responds to what the man who spawned the monster has to say once he talks like he has full understanding that the man is responsible for the monster and isn't just crazy. Though this is par for the course for the story.
Favorite Part: Let's Plays specifically of old games were mentioned as pop-culture in a story? It's like I do that or something...

Our heroes eat lunch and talk. As the bully boy decides to chat with them. We get implications that he may be creepy in addition to being rude. The ice person is then found using the power of social media. Then we cut to the future ice girl and find that she's got a rich father and that she's unhappy about certain arrogant people. Then our heroes investigate a series of murders and the water girl happens to remember enough from watching this to figure out that the next target is the ice girl's lawyer father. The mastermind asserts her dominance/authority in her quick villain meeting. The ninja alien girl and our heroines manage to infiltrate the staff (by having 3 of the original staff knocked out in advance) for the birthday party of the lawyer father. As the staff the heroines are requested to meet with the ice girl by her mother. The sudden conversation understandably gets slightly awkward as personal mantras are exchanged. Then the monster, a screeching harpy spawned from the guy who went to jail for a crime he didn't commit, attacks. As the ice girl is worried for her attacked she requests that the bad guy stop, not even baffled there's a monster doing the attack. The fire and lightning heroes then break in to attack the harpy. The ninja KOs the angry guy pretty easily. The ice girl has a bit of confusion about accepting the power, but ultimately does and turns the tide with an ice move. Then the heroines at the party finish the harpy off with a combined attack. Then everyone goes about what they were doing before basically, but there may be more drama going on here.
There are a few conversations that feel like they were just jumped to without any logical segway that I could see. This is particularly the case for some of the verbal teasing jokes in this.
Favorite Part: Knocking out the waiter staff in advance to infiltrate. No questioning of ethics, it's just done.

I had a feeling and while not confirmed seem to at least mention The Phoenix. And the doors open...of course it is. The bit on learning how those Mana seeds work was pretty funny, and hearing Blair actually threatened her was equally funny.
