Through Allen's research, they head for the Temple of the Divine Beasts Cores and learn from the ghost living there that three Divine Beasts Cores can stabilize the great merged realms, with Flare, The Gorynych Bros (Gidor, Broadhorn, Nimrod), Valkyrie, Byakko, Genbu and Adam going for the Pink Divine Beast Core in African Savannah, which they acquire after a brief interference from D.A.R.W.I.N Agents, and return to Apex with Chamel, Valkyrie, The Gorynych Bros (Gidor, Broadhorn, Nimrod), Byakko, Speed, and Phoenixia, where a resistance group recruits them to expose Emperor Typhon and Empress Echidna of their lies, she retaliates by creating a Great MergeQuake Storm.

His Mother is Penelope Acharya, a Hindu-American women who was born in Bali India and lived with her parents but then when she got older they moved to California. one day she met a handsome man on the beach, It was love-at-first-sight so after dating for 3 weeks he proposed to and she said yes so they got married, she got pregnant but when she went to the hospital the docter showed her the results and
She was shocked. Inside her womb was a shining light like a star, she was frightened and shocked because she dosen't what to make of it so she asked the man/husband what is going on but all of a sudden he vanished so she visited a Hindu Priest and told him about her womb. She showed him the X-ray scans given by her docter, at first she worried but that is until the priest told her that the ball of light means that its a blessing by the Gods at least in legend so she decided to go back to the hospital on her bed to think about it but then at dawn she started to give birth. Every docter and nurse gather right away to help her she pushed as hard as she can, with the help of the docters and nurse the baby started to come out and it was the ball of light but then the ball transformed into an huge egg the size of big watermelon. Everyone was so shocked but then the Hindu Priest and Oscar Williams showed up to investigate, an hour want by and studies shows that she has given birth to a Demi-God
And her husband/egg's father is Garuda: the legendary Hindu, Buddhist and Jain Bird God.
After hearing this she dosen't what to make of this at first she layed an egg and second she's married to a Hindu God. But then the egg started to hatch and thus Flare was born, Oscar told her that you should be proud of this blessing and she smiled with happiness and started crying with tears of joy realizing that she has given birth to a Demi-God but she's also sad that Flare's father isn't here to see his son fortunelly the priest told her he is here looking down from the heavens, he also expained that the reason why he vanished it's because he is Vishnu's Noble mount so his job is importent but he's sure that one day he will visit to his son and he and her will guide him to a good-hearted path and good future.
Years later after he's born, in 2020, Oscar Williams assigned Flare a task to search for scrolls related to the Great Coalescence. Flare was perplexed by the concept and couldn't quite grasp its meaning. Flare casually placed the scrolls he had found next to Oscar Williams and asked if that was satisfactory. He then reassured him that he was available if he needed any further assistance. Oscar Williams addressed Flare as his student and nephew, hoping that Flare would excel as the future Master of the Mythical and Man Peace Monastery. He emphasized the importance of family and the role it plays in their journey. Flare, taken aback by Oscar Williams' words, couldn't fathom the idea of surpassing his uncle's wisdom and experience, considering that Oscar Williams had been in the Mythical and Man Peace Monastery for thousands of years. Suddenly, their conversation was interrupted by a violent quake. They hurriedly made their way to the courtyard, where the rest of the Monster Rebels Team were already gathered, their attention fixed on the Great Merge occurring. Flare, bewildered by the commotion, demanded an explanation for what was unfolding before them.
Flare and the rest of the team used the Legendary Bounty with the aim of rescuing as the citizens, making their way towards New York City. Amidst the chaos, he managed to save a young boy named Adam, ensuring his safety by returning him back to his neighborhood. Adam was concerned for his parents, who were trapped in the midst of the Great Merge. With unwavering determination, he assured Adam that their mission was to save everyone, including his parents. Unfortunately, the proximity to the Merge caused Flare to become separated from the rest of the mythical monster heroes once the Great Merge was completed and had lost his helmet. Flare found himself back at the Monastery of Mythical and Man Peace. As he delved deeper into what the Great Merge unfolded, he discovered that all the realms converged into one. He believed that he was the only mythical monster heroes to survive. Flare realized that the Great Merge was the very subject that Oscar Williams had been tirelessly researching. Unfortunately, the scrolls containing the knowledge had been destroyed, leaving Flare unable to decipher the true nature of his work. The only clue he had was that the Source Divine Beasts were somehow involved in causing the Great Merge in the first place. Weeks later, he found the Legendary Bounty. As Flare approached the Bounty, he saw a silhouette and instinctively launched an attack. However, upon closer inspection, he realized it was Chamel. Feeling remorseful, Flare promptly apologized for his mistake. Chamel, relieved that it was all a misunderstanding, expressed his joy at reuniting with Flare.
The Great MergeQuakes started to materialize. Flare and Chamel stumbled upon the realization that his fire powers had the ability to halt the destructive events.
However, Flare and Chamel soon came to the realization that if a significant number of Great MergeQuakes were to occur simultaneously, it would result in a catastrophic event known as the Great MergeQuake Storm, which would not only replicate the Great Merge but instead obliterate the realms entirely. Understanding the gravity of the situation, Flare and Chamel understood that they couldn't face the problem alone and sought help. Flare decided to stay behind and ensure the safety of everyone, while Chamel boarded the Bounty to explore the realms in search of a solution.
== History ==
=== The Great Merge Part 1: ===
Flare alongside The Gorynych Bros headed to the Crossroads and noticed Adam using Dual Techno Swords, mistakenly identifying him as one of the mythical monster heroes.
Infiltrating a prison train, Flare and The Gorynych Bros unexpectedly encountered two Tengu Claw Hunters and successfully defeated them. As he emerged victorious, he came face to face with Adam, Frost, Smoky, Valkyrie, Maximus and Kodai. He confidently claimed ownership of the helmet that Adam possessed.
=== The Great Merge Part 2: ===
While inquiring Adam, Frost, Smoky, Valkyrie, Maximus and Kodai about the mystery mythical monster hero, which was the former, a hunter surprised him from behind and pushed Flare into the car before he fights him, using his to cut the six kids' restraints before knocking him out. Adam then explained he found the helmet after the Great Merge, but Flare was repulsed by the helmet's lack of maintenance before they exit the car, intending to jump off, but Frost refused to leave as they were holding Zouyu hostage before they encounter Captain Tsuchigumo and find themselves surrounded. When Adam took down the hunters behind them, Flare was surprised that he used Techno Power and learned from Frost that the former trained himself before she tries to show Flare she has powers herself, but nothing happens. Learning she needed Zouyu the Sabertooth tusked-cat, Adam heads for the car containing him, with Flare misinterpreting it as him leaving, until he came back with Zouyu, who gives Frost a boost power, which she used to inadvertently turn the hunters’ swords into bombs before they jump off the train. Flare soon assessed about how he is surprised that Adam knows Techno Powers, Smoky had fire powers like his sister Phoenixia, Valkyrie had shadow powers and bat form, Maximus and Kodai had Elemental Powers and Frost has Ice and Technology, powered by Zouyu. Frost then tells how they must want the herd of Snow Dragons in Mount Himalayas before seeing him assemble some debris into where his home was.
=== Beyond Mountains ===
While observing Adam's progress through the obstacle course, Flare used Fire Tornado skills to rescue him after he fell. As Adam began to believe that he was the worst student ever, Lloyd countered with a story about how Squid Girl destroyed the Monastery's south wing just by training there. He commended Adam for learning a version of Techno Power on his own but advised him to unlearn some of his self-taught techniques to achieve a more balanced approach. Flare and Frost discussed their powers of between ice and technology. Flare shared that it took him a while to realize his True Potential. Frost expressed confusion about between Ice Power and Technology Power and whether or not she had an power. Lloyd admitted that he was unfamiliar with Frost's dual element, but emphasized his lifelong study of Double Elemental Powers and the belief that true power lies within oneself. Frost, on the other hand, believed that the powers belonged to Zouyu and that she merely borrowed them. Flare pointed out that during his encounter with Zouyu's Matriarch, he was enhanced by divine beast energy and that it amplified his own elemental powers, not those of the Matriarch. He then went on to explain that every Elemental Master was unique. Flare and the others then joined Zouyu on top of the wall and were surprised to see the old Bounty hurtling toward them. The ship crashed, and the group inspected the damage. Flare observed scorch marks and questioned whether Chamel was responsible. He then confirmed that the notes found belonged to Chamel and that he was in the process of filling in a map. However, he only made it to one of the lands, which happened to be the direction the Bounty was coming from. Flare concluded that they must investigate further to uncover the truth behind Chamel's disappearance. Upon boarding the new Bounty, Adam raised the question of whether Chamel was in trouble, leading Flare to suggest that Chamel may have sent the Bounty back on autopilot to find help. The team speculated that the seriousness of the situation must have prompted Chamel to abandon the ship. However, Flare introduced the idea that it could be a trap. As Frost found Flare's notion amusing and questioned the likelihood of such a scenario, Flare responded by stating that it's occasionally true based on his past experiences.
=== Beasts VS Machines ===
Flare found himself evading relentless attacks of Phoenixia and Javi Fuentes, attempting to clarify that he was merely in disguise. However, Phoenixia remained unconvinced and persisted with her assault. Flare then accused Phoenixia of being an second fire power like his brother Smoky and Javi Fuetnes had Elemental Warrior of Nuclear and Allosaurus form, having witnessed her projecting redish-orange flames and greenish flames. Phoenixia was perplexed by Flare's accusation and more concerned about her family's abduction. Flare was taken aback to learn of Javi Fuentes and Phoenixia's plight and vehemently denied any association with Apex. Despite their initial disagreement, they joined forces to combat the Apex Wendigo Guards. Phoenixia and Javi Fuentes was surprised that Flare saved them and started believing that they are on the same side. They both continued their fight against the guards.
As he, Javi Fuentes and Phoenixia successfully defeated the guards, Flare suggested escaping through the sewers, but Phoenixia insisted on saving her family. They eventually come across the Apex Prison, and Phoenixia identified one as the location of her family. However, she failed to open the door, and Flare shot Fire Ball at the control panel, successfully opening the door. Inside the cell was a legendary vermilion phoenix named Suzaku, who Phoenixa greeted happily. As Flare thought Suzaku was just Phoenixia's nephew, also Javi Fuentes saving lost mythical friends such as Blue Eastern Dragon named Seiryu, the White Tiger named Byakko, and Black Tortoise named Genbu, Phoenixia explained to him that Suzaku is her family and that she was raised by him in the Arizona Desert. Flare was surprised but acknowledged that Phoenixia being raised by Suzaku in the Arizona Desert was the reason for her agression.
=== The Great Power ===
Flare implored Typhon and Echidna to rethink her decisions before the Great MergeQuake Storm struck, but she brushed off his warnings and accused the Monster Rebels Team and Elemental Warriors of wanting her power. As Typhon and Echidna unleashed more Great MergeQuakes, Flare regrouped with the other Monster Rebels Team and Elemental Warriors, with Chamel worried about their next steps. Flare assured the team that they would do what they do best, leading the Monster Rebels Team and Elemental Warriors to swiftly confront Typhon and Echidna in battle, harnessing their distinct powers. After being pulled into a rift, Smoky saw his sister, Phoenixia's disappearance prompted the Monster Rebels Team and Elemental Warriors to find refuge while Typhon and Echidna continued to create more rifts. Adam was informed by Flare that they must retrieve the Great MergeQuake weapon from Echidna's possession. Adam devised a plan to use his grappling hook to seize the weapon, but a rift unexpectedly opened behind them. Fortunately, Flare swiftly grabbed onto Adam, saving him from being pulled in, although the grappling hook was lost. Together, they successfully escaped. As the the Great MergeQuake Storm was minutes from happening, Adam firmly held the belief that getting close to Typhon and Echidna was an impossible task. However, Flare had devised a plan to aid them. Using remote autopilot, Flare summoned the Warrior and Divine Beast Mechs into action. Taking control of the Warrior Mech, Flare successfully separated the Great MergeQuake weapon from Echidna with a powerful punch. Flare and Adam engage in a fierce battle with Typhon and Echidna, aiming to gain possession of the Great MergeQuake weapon. Just as Echidna created a rift behind them, Flare and Adam swiftly eject from their mechs, narrowly avoiding being pulled into the rift. Typhon and Echidna intended to eliminate Flare and Adam once and for all, but Frost tapped into her True Potential and obliterated the Great MergeQuake weapon. When Flare saws Typhon tries taking Quinn hostage, but get punched by Genbu freeing Quinn from Typhon's Grasp, Genbu throws Typhon to Maximus, who tail whips Typhon back into Genbu's grasp, Rosie looks to Maximus try to finish him, Rosie freezing Typhon alive and get slamed by Genbu into the ground and shattered into pieces, Adam knocked Echidna into a Great MergeQuake. Flare acknowledged Frost's Ice and Technology Powers, expressing his belief that she possessed it all along. However, Speed urgently pointed out that Great MergeQuake Storm that had begun.
Along with Monster Rebels Team and Elemental Warriors sailed on the Legendary Bounty towards the Crossroads. Lloyd was resolute in preventing the disaster, focusing on acquiring the pink Divine Beast Core to complement the yellow and purple ones they already had. Unfortunately, their progress was impeded when the ship's engine malfunctioned and the sails tore, leading to a dangerous descent. A manticore named Morty intervened by showcasing her latent abilities, enlarging herself to lift the Legendary Bounty towards' the Crossroads. The storm threatened to engulf many citizens, but the Monster Rebels Team and Elemental Warriors came to their rescue. Flare worried about retrieving the pink Divine Beast Core in time, but Speed reassured him that he had arranged for Nue to deliver it. When Nue arrived with the core, Flare praised him as the dependable Assistant Keeper of the Monastery of Mythical and Man Peace. The Monster Rebels Team and Elemental Warriors hesitated on their next move until Speed brought up the Source Divine Beasts, prompting Frost to propose that Flare, as a conduit, could tap into the Divine Beast Cores due to his connection to the life force of Source Divine Beasts. Adam voiced worries for Flare's well-being, Rosie helps Flare for good, but Flare remained resolute in his decision to proceed. Despite facing chaos, Flare persevered, drawing strength from the Monster Rebels Team and Elemental Warriors' ethos of never giving up. Recalling Oscar Williams' teachings on finding inner peace, Flare powered up, triggering a shockwave from the Divine Beast Cores that sealed the rifts and stabilized the Great Merged Realms. Flare was taken aback when Chamel, Phoenixia, and Zouyu unexpectedly landed on top of him, discovering that those who were sucked into the Great MergeQuake were not obliterated as they had thought. Everyone else who was sucked in returned unscathed. Frost suggested that the Monster Rebels Team and Elemental Warriors should bring the Divine Beast Cores back to the Temple of the Divine Beast Cores, until Rosie Fuentes, Javi Fuentes and Kage the Crowlverine, Jun Liu and Quinn Liu ride on griffon named Kuro and Iggy ride on Sphinxia, but Flare says goodbye to Rosie Fuentes, they go home to the Land of the Junkyard, but Flare insisted on sacrificing them to release the captive Source Eastern Dragon. He believed that the Divine Beast Cores could prevent the adverse consequences of the Source Eastern Dragon's liberation, just as they had done with the Great MergeQuakes.
Flare was determined to venture to the Kingdom of Apex alone, but Zouyu was eager to accompany him, particularly to meet the Source Eastern Dragon. The Source Eastern Dragon, in turn, questioned Flare's grasp of the immense power contained within the Divine Beast Cores, highlighting their potential and capabilities. Lloyd confessed his lack of understanding, prompting the Source Eastern Dragon to explain that all Powers of Mythical Gods and Elemental Powers stemmed from his kind, emphasizing the mythical power condensed within the Divine Beast Cores held by Flare. Surprised, Flare inquired about the origins of Mythical Gods, learning that the Source Eastern Dragon was one of the seven responsible for such powers. Despite the Source Eatern Dragon's curiosity about Flare's selfless act of freeing him, Flare insisted it was the right thing to do. The Source Eastern Dragon hinted at someone being correct about Flare, leading Flare to ask for clarification, but the eastern dragon diverted the conversation by questioning Zouyu's identity. Ultimately, the Source Eastern Dragon accepted Flare's sacrifice of the Divine beast Cores, resulting in the eastern dragon's liberation from the glass core.
Upon their return to the monastery, Flare found Adam practicing Object Techno Power with throwing stars at a Desertmelon. Flare complimented Adam's throwing skills, but Adam was frustrated at not being able to perform Object Techno Power without fear. Flare reassured Adam that it was natural to feel scared, especially after losing a lot in the Great Merge, and encouraged him to channel those emotions into something positive. Meanwhile, Allen and Speed talk about the experiences of Monster Rebels Team and Elemental Warriors with Oscar Williams' ghost, causing Flare to believe that they're just scratching the surface of the secrets of the Great Merged Realms.
