Summary: The Lotus' mission to prevent the Kraang from delivering a shipment of mutagen to Shade causes the mutagen canisters to scatter into the city.
Under the dark night sky, the Lotus Ninjas hopped across the city rooftops with loud cheering. It has been a month since they defeated the Kraang on their outstanding victory.
"We are awesome, baby!" Ella smiled at her sisters.
"You got that right!" Donna agreed with a grin.
"Yes we are!" Ellie laughed.
"What about mother? Wish we could've seen her take out Lady Shade." Lee said with a grin.
"So are we gonna stop by Casey's?" Donna asked. "He's having pizzas at his apartment for us to celebrate on our victory."
"Let's go." Lee said quickly.
Few minutes later, the Lotus Ninjas arrived at Casey's apartment. Donna tapped on the window very carefully and Casey opened up the windows.
"Hey, ladies!" Casey greeted. "My dad left with my little sister earlier, so I can break down some pizzas with my ninja girls."
"Thanks, Casey." Ellie smiled, stepping in the window with her sisters. "Shade and those little squishy alien brain freaks are long gone."
At the Shadow Clan HQ, Kage came into the main room and stood behind the Kraang projector. Lady Shade placed her silver metallic crowned mask on her face and sat down on her throne chair. The Kraang projector set up a projected screen and a full screen image of Kraang appeared in front of them.
"Greetings, one who is called Lady Shade." Kraang greeted.
"Do you have my shipment?" Lady Shade demanded silently.
"The shipment that is secret will soon be transported to the one called Lady Shade." Kraang replied.
"And what about the complications you have to deal with?" Lady Shade questioned.
"Kraang complicates the complication with greater complications." Kraang informed.
Lady Shade and Kage watched as the full screen showed a foot of some kind of ape before the screen ended.
"Now, it's time to test out my new additions to the Shadow Clan." Lady Shade said. "Girls, your first mission is ready!"
Kage gazed up at the ceiling to hear laughter filling the air and saw three pairs of feminine eyes glowed in blazing bright black with evil determination.
Meanwhile, the three Lotus Ninjas locked in a game of dodgeball inside the fortress living room. But the ball is actually a white communication orb that Donna took from the Kraang facility. Speaking of Donna, she was too busy testing out some of mechanical parts for her future inventions until she saw the orb hit on Phantom's head, causing the marionette robot to glare at Lee, Ella, and Ellie in annoyance as she and Donna marched out of the lab with irritated looks on their faces.
"Stop throwing the orb!" Donna shouted, walking out of the lab with the orb in her hand. "This is a rare and fragile piece of alien tech! It's not a toy to play with!"
"You need to calm down." Ella said.
"Yeah, all that science stuff had really got into your skull." Ellie agreed.
"My daughters, I know you are still joyously reveling in the defeat of our enemies. But a great question remains." Saldana said as she entered the living room from the dojo. "Are our enemies truly defeated? Lady Shade is a crafty and patient foe who bides her time."
"Mother, there's nothing to worry about. Lady Shade had already lost her sense of honor." Lee pointed out. "We'd never see her again."
"Yeah, and if she shows up, we'll be ready." Ella agreed cockily.
Lee, Donna, Ella, and Ellie went to leave the fortress, but the exit was blocked by a white energy shield. They all turned to their mother as she wasn't gonna accept her daughters' responses at all.
"You four have become cocky and overconfident. You will continue your training." Saldana bellowed. "Starting now!"
The Lotus Ninjas groaned, but obeyed their mother's orders as they stood their feet at attention and bowed with respect when their mother left the room into the dojo.
"Maybe mother's right." Lee said. "We are getting too cocky."
"No, we're not." Ella protested. "It's not cockiness when you got the skills like..."
Ella's words were interrupted when the communication orb suddenly began to beep loudly in alert.
"That thing's working again?" Ellie questioned in disbelief. "It's been silent for weeks."
"It must have received an incoming signal that can mean only one thing." Lee said in a low voice. "The Kraang are back."
At Donna's lab, Casey and the girls gathered round as Donna was researching the message on her computer.
"What'cha got, Donna?" Casey asked.
"The encryption was tough to crack, but it seems like the Kraang are transporting some kind of cargo." Donna explained, typing in her laptop and a picture of the stealth drone popped up on the screen.
"We've gotta find out what that cargo is." Lee said.
"But how do we track a ship that turns completely invisible?" Ella pointed out.
"We can track it with this." Donna said proudly as she showed her sisters and Casey several metallic circular discs attached to each building on the laptop screen. "It's aligned to the radar dishes we placed throughout the city. It will detect the Kraang spaceship." Her face turned to Casey. "Casey, can you stake out a rooftop and feed us the Kraang ship's coordinates?"
"Sure." Casey grinned. "Casey Jones is on the case!"
Casey took out her hockey stick and left out of the lab.
"The bigger question is, how do we stop that ship, Donna?" Lee asked.
"We'll need something fast to catch it." Ella added.
Donna let out a proud smile as she led her sisters into the garage to show them on her greatest invention.
"Ladies, I give you the...Extreme Copter!" Donna announced.
Donna pressed on the button attached to the wall and the light revealed the coolest and amazing futuristic invention that made Lee, Ella, and Ellie's jaw dropped down to the floor. The rocket was a black futuristic helicopter designed to hit speeds and equipped with two advanced plasma cannons.
"Amazing." Ellie smiled. "Are we really gonna fly in that thing? Awesome!"
"Casey, are you in position?" Lee asked through her L-Phone.
"I'm ready when you are." Casey replied through his cell phone. He immediately tracked down a high radiation from the discs attached near him and looked up to spot the sudden Kraang stealth ship passing overhead. "The Kraang is at my watch. Better get here quick."
"We're on our way." Lee said from the L-Phone.
Meanwhile, the Lotus Ninjas got inside the Extreme Copter and Donna powered up the helicopter. The Extreme Copter blasted off through the fortress garage exit at high speed and out into the city through the open air. Donna pressed a button for autopilot on the helicopter and found the Kraang stealth ship flying right below them. The girls quickly launch themselves out of the helicopter and landed themselves onto the invisible ship just in time to stop the Kraang from their evil scheme.
"Booya!" Donna grinned.
The Lotus Ninjas entered inside the ship and faced the three Kraang droids piloted the ship.
"It is the ones who call themselves the Lotus." One of the Kraang droid said.
"Kraang, we must alert Kraang!" Another Kraang droid cried.
"Wow! Three little floating blobs of brains against four awesome kunoichis?" Ella smirked. "This should be easy."
"We could take these guys in our sleep." Lee snickered.
In quick seconds, the Lotus Ninjas combined their elemental powers to deliver a powerful colorful energy blast at the Kraang droids, destroying all of the three alien robots all at once. Before the girls started to become cocky again about their first victory, they heard three female voices echoing around the ship.
"Actually, I'm your real opponent for tonight." A female voice spoke sinisterly. "And this is gonna be fun."
The Lotus Ninjas turned around behind them with their elemental powers blazing on their palms. Then, three teenage mystic kunoichis had emerged out from the shadows and revealed themselves in the ship. Lee, Donna, Ella, and Ellie's eyes widened in shock. The mystic leader has black hair which had been tied up in a bun with bangs falling on either side of her face and blue eyes. She wore a metallic silver full-body armor with silver wrist guards on her arms beneath her black midriff-baring crop top with a black mini skirt and black thigh-high boots. Another mystic has long black hair styled into two horn-like bangs at the top of her head fastened with dark grey ribbons and blue eyes. She wore a metallic silver full-body armor with silver wrist guards on her arms beneath her black midriff-baring crop top with a black mini skirt and black thigh-high boots. The third mystic has braided black hair and blue eyes. She wore a metallic silver full-body armor with silver wrist guards on her arms beneath her black midriff-baring crop top with a black mini skirt and black thigh-high boots.
"Hello, girls. I'm Amora." A mystic kunoichi leader grinned evilly with a strict feminine voice.
"Pleasure. I'm Selina." The second mystic kunoichi greeted dryly with a dull feminine voice and an extremely bored look on her face.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Diana." The third mystic kunoichi leader smiled sweetly with a cheerful feminine voice.
"And we are the Shadow Sirens." Amora, Selina, and Diana declared in unison. "The daughters of Lady Shade."
"Aw, this can't be good!" Ellie exclaimed to her sisters.
"Since when Lady Shade had three daughters?" Ella questioned in shock.
"So, you're the kunoichis that mother was talking about." Diana smiled. "I'm so glad that we were able to meet you officially."
"Diana, we're here to battle them. Not getting to know them better." Selina groaned.
"Selina's right." Amora grinned. "Let's get this party started!"
"Okay, I guess we're a little cocky!" Donna admitted to her sisters.
The Shadow Sirens charged forward to the Lotus Ninjas. Lee's hands began to glow watery blue and jumped in the air to shoot out a large ball of water energy at Amora, who swiftly dodged the attack and delivered a rapid series of kicks at such speed that she stirred up harmful dark energy currents at Lee, sending the blue mystic kunoichi crashing to the ground. Ella launched in the air and unleashed a sudden barrage of flames in high and low directions at Selina, who quickly avoid the attack and delivered a series of dark energy ripple-like waves at the spot where Ella was standing, sending the red mystic kunoichi crashing towards Lee. Ellie cartwheeled towards Diana and delivered a series of four high-damage powerful wind somersaults to the dark mystic kunoichi, who leaped out of the way and released six black glowing bombs with bat wings that will begin to explode at Ellie, sending her flying towards Lee and Ella. Donna ran forward to release one-legged driving earth kick with deadly force multiple times at the Shadow Sirens, who rapidly bolted away from the incoming attack and unleashed a combined series of rapid punches to Donna, sending her slammed into Lee, Ella, and Ellie.
When the Lotus Ninjas smashed together to the wall, the small cabinet opened up to reveal the shipment of canisters holding a glowing green chemical substance.
"Is that what I think it is?" Lee asked with a groan.
"It's the mutagen!" Donna exclaimed.
"And I think that's for us to figure out why and for the Kraang to know." Ellie remarked in fright.
Outside, Casey was watching the now visible Kraang ship flying out of control in the air above him.
"Come on, girls." Casey muttered. "Take it down."
Back to the Kraang stealth ship, the Lotus Ninjas were having difficulties against the Shadow Sirens. The dark mystic kunoichis are much stronger and faster than the four heroines combined. Diana kicked Ellie with her fist engulfing in blazing bright black energy, sending the orange mystic kunoichi crashing onto the keyboard as her back accidentally pressed a button from behind. Then, a door started to open from the wall that caused the ship going side by side for the seven mystic girls to keep their balance. Donna quickly turned around and immediately realized that all of the mutagen containers are falling out of the cabinet.
"The containers!" Donna shouted.
"Get them!" Lee shouted quickly.
Lee, Donna, Ella, and Ellie quickly ran to catch the containers one by one. But it was too late! All of the containers fell out of the Kraang stealth ship.
"NO!" The Lotus Ninjas screamed in horror.
Outside, Casey watched all of the mutagen containers falling across the city in terror like falling stars. He then saw one of the containers falling toward him.
"Uh no!" Casey said to himself. He then hid himself in the rooftop doorway to take cover. "This is not good!"
Meanwhile, the Lotus Ninjas and the Shadow Sirens continued their fight back in the ship. They paid no attention to the Kraang stealth ship flying out of control in the air.
"I can't believe those containers are out to the city." Ella yelled in frustration.
"And there's gonna be even more mutants out in the city if they come contact to the mutagen!" Donna added with a shout.
"Girls, fall out!" Lee shouted.
The Lotus Ninjas spun around to notice that the Shadow Sirens are blocking their path to escape the ship as three Kraang droids are trying to fix the ship from spiraling out of control.
"Sorry for breaking out a fight, but we have to let you heroes finish this job." Amora smirked.
The Shadow Sirens jumped out of the crazy flying Kraang ship and landed on the rooftop of the building near the ocean. They closely watched the Lotus Ninjas escape the ship before it crashed down to the ground in the ocean water.
"We totally blew it." Selina said expressionlessly.
"Luckily, my hair or my outfit weren't ruined." Diana wailed.
"Give me a break, girls!" Amora chided. "We have bigger problems right now! Mother is not gonna to forgive us for this. Let's jet."
Selina and Diana nodded their heads as the Shadow Sirens hopped onto each rooftop to head back to the Shadow HQ.
The Lotus Ninjas landed on the rooftop that Casey was standing on as they caught their breaths for a moment. Then, Casey ran out of the rooftop doorway and helped out his four mystic friends.
"What happened back there?" Casey asked. "And what's with the canisters falling from the sky?"
"Those canisters are mutagen." Donna replied. "The Kraang were shipping them in their ship, but I don't know where exactly."
"What can be worse than this?" Ella complained frustratingly.
Meanwhile, the Shadow Sirens walked into the main room and approached their mother and older brother as they bowed down to their presence.
"So, where's my shipment of the mutagen sample?" Lady Shade asked threateningly.
"Unfortunately, the Lotus Ninjas destroyed the Kraang ship." Amora reported.
"And the containers have spread over the city." Selina added calmly.
"Obviously, those girls will find the containers around the city." Diana concluded.
"The Kraang are useless." Lady Shade said. "It's time for me to create my own mystic mutant army and I know just the person who's right for the job."
Back in the Crete Fortress, the Lotus Ninjas and Casey sat on the couch in silence after Lee explained Saldana about their mission in the living room.
"This is all very bad news." Saldana said. "Very bad, indeed."
"I still can't believe this is happening." Donna said.
"More mutants for Casey Jones to smack on." Casey said, cracking his knuckles loud and hard.
"Of course." Ella chuckled slightly.
"Do not dwell on the past." Saldana said firmly. "You must find every last canister of mutagen. You must search every street, every park and playground, every building and rooftop before we have even more mutants on our hands."
In the city alleyway, a bat flew down towards a broken glass container with mutagen spilling out. The bat stared at the liquid mass and took a sip of the mutagen curiously. The liquid slowly affected the bat once its eyes suddenly turned into vicious white.
