Summary: It is Halloween night, and the Lotus Ninjas are celebrating by scaring trick-or-treaters. Inside the lair, the Turtles, April, and Casey fail to scare the mystics, and the Lotus Ninjas claims that nothing can scare a mystic because mystics are "the queens of Halloween". To prove them wrong, Raph proposes a challenge to see who can tell the scariest story, but the Lotus Ninjas amps it up by choosing to hold their contest in their great-grandfather Logan's abandoned mansion.
In the dead of Halloween night, the New York citizens were strolling around the city for trick-or-treating. But there's one building that caught all of the trick-or-treater's attention as they walked inside the main room with curiosity. The main room has black and dark orange tiled floor with pumpkins floating across the ceiling. The trick-or-treaters were very amazed and impressed by the room.
Then suddenly, a black hopkinsville goblin stood on top of the large floating pumpkin above the trick-or-treaters. The creature has a pink hard candy body with sharp claws and teeth, dark pink gemstone-like eyes, and a red gemstone on its chest. It jumped down from the giant floating pumpkin and growled wildly. The trick-or-treaters screamed with terror as they ran out of the building and dropped their candy bags to the floor. The goblin creature snickered as he grabbed all of the candy bags off the floor and walked to the large floating pumpkin that revealed four mystics on the top. The Lotus Ninjas have their hair styled in drill-like pigtails and they wore form-fitting black dresses with long sleeves and two high-cut leg slits that show off their legs along with black low-heeled shoes.
"Awesome job, Pink Hallow!" Ellie giggled as she and her older sisters jumped off the floating pumpkin.
Pink Hallow turned around and jumped into Ellie's outstretched hands. Ellie cuddled her goblin pet to her chest as Pink Hallow looked up at her with a happy smile.
"Not bad for your first Halloween, Pink Hallow." Lee said with a grin.
"I'm telling you, guys, we hit the jackpot." Ella said as she stared at the candy bags in Pink Hallow's hands. "Now, we've got thirty candy bags. Better than last year. This is why I love Halloween."
"You and me both." Donna smiled. "Oh, which reminds me. Donnie wants us to meet them at the lair."
"Okay." Ellie said. She looked back at Pink Hallow. "Time for you to head back home, Pink Hallow. But save us some candy when we get back."
Pink Hallow nodded his head and jumped off from Ellie's arms. Lee lifted up her left arm and summoned a blue swirly portal on the floor, making the mutant goblin jump inside before it disappeared out of sight.
"Now, let's head to the lair." Lee said.
The Lotus Ninjas snapped their fingers to return the building back to normal.
"Ōpunpōtaru." Lee, Ella, Donna, and Ellie casted.
At their command, a yellow swirly portal appeared right in front of the mystics. They hopped swiftly inside, leaving the portal closing itself shut.
As the portal had opened itself in the lair, the Lotus Ninjas entered the middle of the living room and looked around the place. They stopped in front of the dojo to see the room was cloaked in darkness with confused faces.
"Wait a minute. Why would Splinter and the Turtles turn off the lights in the dojo?" Lee asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah, that's odd." Donna agreed.
"Maybe they wanted to scare us." Ellie said in a whisper.
"Now, who'd be stupid enough to try and scare us?" Ella asked as she and her sisters walked inside the dojo cautiously.
The Lotus Ninjas stopped past the entrance and the lights turned on to find themselves greeted by their friends. April dressed up as a beautiful vampire and Casey dressed up as a wicked werewolf while the Turtles didn't dressed up at all because they are mutants. As the Turtles, April, and Casey tried to scare the Lotus Ninjas as best they can, the four mystics raised an eyebrow without any hint of being easily frightened. Lee and Donna exchanged looks as they shook their heads with smiles.
"Oh wow, how terrifying." Ella said dryly. "I don't know how am I gonna sleep tonight."
"Happy Halloween, guys!" Ellie beamed.
"Aw, come on!" Mikey whined.
"And you said this was gonna scare 'em, dude." Casey said to Mikey.
"I told you it wouldn't work." April said.
"Admit it, girls. Weren't you even a little bit scared?" Leo asked.
"Leo, mystics don't get scared. We do the scaring." Lee pointed out.
"And that's why the four of us are the queens of Halloween." Ella added with a proud smile.
"I bet we can find something that will scare you girls off." Raph snorted as he crossed his arms over his chest.
"Oh, really? And what do you have in mind, Raph?" Ella asked with a hint of mischievous in her voice.
"All of us telling scary stories all night long." Raph replied.
"Yeah, stories to make your blood run cold. Stories to terrify you. And whoever shall last through the night shall be named the king or queen of Halloween." Donnie explained.
"I accept." Ella said with a sly and smile. "Does anyone else want to join our little contest?"
"I'm in!" Casey said excitedly.
"Bring it!" Mikey grinned.
Leo, Donnie, and April raised their hands in agreement.
"Well, that settled. We all accepted the challenge, Raph." Donna said, placing her left hand on her hip.
"Okay, I shall begin." Raph said. "Once upon a midnight dreary..."
"Hey, hold on, Raph." Lee interrupted. "We didn't say we were doing this here."
"Uh, what?" Raph asked in confusion.
"You named the terms and we name the place." Ella said.
"Okay, fine. Where we gonna do this?" Raph asked.
"Oh, I know just the place." Lee said with a sly smile.
A minute later, the Turtles, April, and Casey have followed the Lotus Ninjas to a haunted mansion with lightning striking around the area.
"This place is dope, yo." Casey grinned.
"Welcome to the Count Mansion." Lee said.
"This is where our great-grandfather Logan used to live." Donna explained. "And died few years ago."
"Our family believe this mansion is haunted by his ghost." Ellie added.
"But of course if you're all too scared to go in, we're just claim our winnings and be on our way." Ella smirked.
"Wait a minute!" Raph snapped. "We can last in there just as long as you girls can."
"Fine. Come on then." Ella said.
Inside the mansion, everyone gathered around with the fireplace blazing behind the Lotus Ninjas.
"Well, then. This ought to be fun." Lee said with a devious smile.
"All right, buckle up, everybody." Donna grinned. "Get ready for the time of your lives."
"Yeah, the quicker we scare the wits out of you, the sooner I can be home, cozy in my bed with candy." Ellie smiled.
"Unless anyone else thinks they've got what it takes." Ella challenged.
"Oh! Pick me, pick me!" Mikey yelled as he quickly raised his hand in the air. "I have a scary story!"
"This isn't the one about your head getting trapped in the sewer pipe again, is it?" April asked. "Because that's not scary."
"Well, actually, if you look at it from my perspective..." Mikey said.
"Well, guess what, Mikey, no one cares!" Donnie yelled. "Get ready to send these guys home, girls, 'cause I've got a story...and it's all true! Ahem...it was a dark and stormy night..."
