Perfect! Let's continue with Chapter 4, incorporating your 5-year time skip, Kurafuto's mass Zoid creations, the bonding system enforcing loyalty to Wave, and his development of combat and elemental techniques inspired by his memories from his previous life.

Chapter 4 — Five Years of Creation
Five years had passed since the day Kurafuto first arrived in Wave. The boy who had once been an exile, wandering forests and rivers alone, had grown into a confident young master of creation. His crimson hair was longer now, his eyes sharper, carrying the weight of someone who had forged entire armies of life.
Wave had changed with him. The city's harbor now brimmed with Zoids of all sizes — from tiny mechanical birds and wolves no larger than a sparrow to towering beasts that could rival the tallest structures in the city. Kurafuto had not only created them; he had bound them. Each Zoid responded to him, and any unbound creature entering Wave now required his approval to survive outside the city.
> "None shall leave Wave without loyalty," he murmured to Drago, now massive and fully grown, wings stretching wide across the training grounds. "All who are unworthy or disloyal will be denied. The city must be protected."

Zoids in Mass
Kurafuto had spent the past five years creating Zoids en masse, populating the land, sea, and sky. The land was patrolled by massive quadrupeds, serpentine guardians, and armored beasts that could dig or leap across mountains. Rivers and oceans now teemed with massive aquatic Zoids, their bodies armored in glimmering plates, capable of crushing ships or defending the city's borders. The skies were alive with mechanical dragons and bird-like Zoids, moving in formation with near-perfect coordination.
Each creation was bio-mechanical, capable of shrinking to two inches outside combat, or growing to hundreds of meters for war. And while they were alive, they were bound to Wave, unable to leave without a bond to a Trainer or Kurafuto himself.
> "They are alive, yes," Kurafuto said during a demonstration in the central plaza, "but they are also guardians. Their bond to Wave ensures that they will protect it, and only it."

Combat and Elemental Techniques
Kurafuto did not stop with the Zoids themselves. Drawing from memories of his past life — martial arts, combat strategies, and elemental abilities — he developed new fighting techniques for his Trainers and Zoids alike.
He called them Rokushiki Techniques, adapted from his memory of martial arts forms, granting enhanced speed, reflexes, and precision in battle. Even humans could apply them partially, but when combined with the Zoid Transformation Technique, they became devastatingly powerful.
> "Technique is not just power," Kurafuto explained to a group of advanced Trainers. "It is precision, efficiency, and synchronization. The human mind and the Zoid body must move as one."
He also recreated elemental techniques, using chakra-infused machinery and his knowledge of elemental forces from his previous life. Fire, water, wind, earth, and lightning — each could be channeled through Zoids, weapons, or even through Trainers themselves.
Fire: Dragons and lizard Zoids could breathe flame or superheat scales for armor.
Water: Aquatic Zoids could manipulate currents or generate high-pressure water jets.
Earth: Subterranean Zoids could collapse tunnels or raise walls of rock.
Lightning: Raptors and aerial Zoids could release bursts of electrical energy.
Wind: Flyers could summon cutting gusts or create vortexes to disrupt enemies.
Kurafuto demonstrated a combined technique during a live exercise: Drago unleashed a jet of fire while Quartos split into four, each head generating lightning, and Subtera manipulated the earth to create a moving battlefield. The crowd gasped, realizing that the boy had not only created life, but a new form of warfare entirely.

The Birth of Trainers in Mass
With his mass-created Zoids and new techniques, Kurafuto began forming a formalized Trainer profession. Trainers were now citizens who had bonded with Zoids through the Gemstone system. Those who had achieved basic mimicry could enhance their physical abilities. Those who mastered the full Zoid Transformation Technique could enter man-beast form, combining human intellect with Zoid might.
> "Every Trainer is a protector of Wave," Kurafuto explained to a new class. "Your duty is to bond, to grow, and to defend. Every Zoid you bond with is not only your companion, but part of our nation's future."
Trainers learned combat through Rokushiki forms, elemental techniques, and coordination drills with their Zoids. The plaza, once a place for demonstrations, had transformed into a sprawling academy, filled with Zoids and their human partners moving in perfect unison.

Kurafuto's Vision
As he watched from the center of the training grounds, Drago coiled protectively around his arm, Kurafuto's gaze swept across the hundreds of Zoids now inhabiting Wave. From the smallest sparrow-sized creations to towering dragons and hydra-like beasts, every creature was alive, loyal, and bonded to him.
> "Five years," he murmured. "And this is only the beginning. Land, sea, sky… every corner of this nation will be protected by life I created. And every Trainer will be a guardian of Wave."
He closed his eyes, imagining a future where:
Trainers could wield multiple Zoids, all synchronized and deadly in combat.
Zoids could be expanded, repaired, and even procreate — biological reproduction incorporated into their bio-mechanical systems.
Elemental techniques combined with Zoid transformations created armies capable of repelling any threat.
> "This world," Kurafuto said, opening his eyes to the horizon, "will see the age of Zoids. And Wave will lead it."

If you want, I can continue Chapter 5, where Kurafuto finally meets the royal family, Himeko is introduced, and he creates her personal Zoid Azure, teaching her the Zoid Transformation Technique and beginning their bond.
Do you want me to do that next?
