- Max Steel: "what if... Sydney fused with Ultimate Elementor" ( Max Steel 2013 TV Series - Episode The Truth Hurts)
when Sydney struck Ultimate Elementor's core there was a slight burst of energy, this energy wouldn't have done anything if they hadn't been trying to assimilate Max Steel, max's turbo energy and steel's Ultralink tech with the rays energy caused a feedback that struck both Sydney and Ultimate Elementor, causing a massive energy explosion, when the dust cleared max and steel saw Sydney standing, but she was different, she now had four different coloured core's along her collar (red, blue, white and brown), a light green armoured body suit with light yellow highlights and a yellow visor covering her eyes, but most apparent was the extra set of arms, a serpent like tail and her hair was now flowing yellow energy, cautiously they all examine her body only to suddenly have four familiar voices call out in confusion, that's when the four cores detached from her into slightly different looking Ultralink's and floated around them, they were the Elementor's, that's when they realised she had fused with Ultimate Elementor.
N-Tek soon showed up and they went back to base for more tests, the Elementor's tried to run but when Sydney shouted at them to get back here she willed them back to her like a magnet, the four were stuck with her and her being in control, after the tests they deduced that it was a combination of the machine with max's turbo energy, steel's tech in making their turbo suit and Sydney's own will power that created not just the suit but also this new bond between the five of them, the Ultralink's tried to argue and fight back but after Sydney but her foot down and gave them some good lumps they decided to just go with it for now, surprisingly earth was more alright with it than the others, more like a curious kid in Sydney's eyes.
Forge wanted to keep her locked up, not out of malice but caution of the Ultralink's being known enemies, but that was shut down by everyone, especially Sydney who could be as scary as Molly, especially with her new element powers, she also seemed to have access to the Elementor's memories and began working things out, this lead to max and steel learning about their histories/origins sooner, they were upset at first but Sydney helped them calm down and get through it, they also learned that she could change forms from her Elementor form into her normal human form, with the four cores looking like a four gem neckless.
Over time they help her train with both Molly and Katherine's help, soon the Ultralink army makes it to earth with Dread's help, by this point the Elementor's have come to slightly like Sydney's presence and working with her, they got fewer losses being on her team, it was near the end of the war that Metal Elementor tried to assimilate the five only for all of them to work together and assimilate him instead, adding his core to the middle of the gem neckless as a silver colour, adding some more armour to her battle suit. After some more pounding into Metal to keep him in line they ended the war, after the war with things calmed down they found a balance between normal life and hero work, continuing to help Max, steel and their future team as the elemental hero Gaia.
