## *Reckon Crystal*

Before formally appearing in the story, Sting Samuray is mentioned on Lancerrow's origin story. They are possessed by a Negative Crystal and almost leads Ryonsen Village to ruin. However, Auromio frees them from their rampage and saves their -and Zuyara's- life. Sting Samuray acknowledges his heroic gesture and permits the wedding between him and Zuyara after the village gets restored, allowing the latter to live with him.

Upon Lancerrow, Earthstar, Ka, and Lavoamy's arrival at Ryonsen Village, Sting Samuray, despite being possessed by the Blue Crystal, is meditating on top of their temple. At one point, they get down and to its garden. Their messenger warns them about a challenger willing to face them, much to their relief, due to the possibility of getting the Blue Crystal out of them.

Drathan shows up and attempts to kill Sting Samuray, making them draw their blade and stop his Wisp energy. The messenger notices this and leaves to notify the rays in charge of the force field -who were kidnapped. Before he attacked again, their attention is caught by two cranes who were with Lancerrow. They order them to escort Drathan out of the temple and Sting Samuray fights Lancerrow.

### Samurai showdown

At first, Sting Samuray has the advantage, almost leading Lancerrow to fall into the garden's ponds, but they strike back and stagger them for the first time. Sting Samuray integrates a second blade and powers both with Brown Wisp energy, escaping to the blossom lakes to wait for Lancerrow, who catches up to them.

The Crystal's possession empowers Sting Samuray and they damage Lancerrow's armor, hurting them. With them falling to the lakes and having their body grayed, they encourage them to give up. Desperately, Lancerrow staggers Sting Samuray a second time, and after recovering, they mount a horse-like creature whilst integrating a bow in place of both blades.

Fully possessed, Sting Samuray waits for Lancerrow to appear at the shrine. Earthstar, Lavoamy, Ka, Moku, Kin, and Nichi arrive at it, making them tell them to leave. As the former three prepare to fight, Sting Samuray is further provoked until Lancerrow arrives, and the final phase of the fight begins. While they focus on Lancerrow, their mount is distracted by Ka's flares, leaving them when one of its legs gets bitten. Because of this, Sting Samuray integrates their blade again and attempts to massacre Lancerrow, unaware that Lavoamy would be the savior as he takes the Blue Crystal out of their possession, defeating them.

### Recovery

Sting Samuray's wounds get tended by Moku, Kin, and Nichi while they congratulate Lancerrow for being a strong warrior despite losing blood and Wisp energy. After being partly healed, they bow to the group before going back to the temple with the rays.

Later that day, before the team arrives at Structral City, Sting Samuray -under their real name Sasuke- contacts Lavoamy -who was already in the area, at a luxurious restaurant and tells him about their past. They hang up after they tell Lavoamy they were going to get busy.

### Harmony

Sting Samuray returns to the bunker to notify Zuyara and the rays that the Shadow Monster has been defeated and the Energy Crystals were restoring Streamisp. They, along with Lavoamy, Rollathorn, and Sir Intercia, carry Lancerrow and Earthstar to Lezara Town. As the latter was the first to wake up, Sting Samuray helps them set up their new room, gifting them a low table and a pestle, reuniting with the rest of the formerly possessed Streamispians to set up an altar in honor of Auromio and Bombshell.
