In Japan, an eighteen year old mystic was meditating throughout the balance of the universe. She wore a golden-amber cloak with a hood. She shut her eyes and began to inhale and exhale slowly and deeply. It was time for her final peaceful mediation of the day. Time to banish all thought, to ignore the physical reality that engulfed her-the sky, the beautiful cherry blossom forest, the soft whisperings of passing birds, and her hammock slung three hundred feet above the ground in the canopy of a silk-cotton tree. Suddenly, a thought long tucked away entered her longtime consciousness: home. It's almost time to return home. The mystic smiled before once again beginning the process of emptying her mind of heading down her now nearly effortless path toward the universal consciousness of no mind.
Just then, the mystic heard loud screaming ring out. They seemed to be coming from a small village not far from where she is. And she knew her time for quiet and calm would have to wait.
"Pitiful human race." A female humanoid plant monster said to a cowering group of villagers. She has light green skin, long wavy deep bluish-purple hair styled in voluminous curls, and lilac eyes. She wore a metallic green dress covered with a layer of pink glittery tulle petals. "Now, you all shall feel wrath of Amanita!"
Two giant plant golems joined Amanita with dangerous narrowed eyes as the villagers-men, women, and children-are becoming vulnerable on what Amanita is capable of.
Most of Amanita's long plant vines already wrapped themselves around all of innocent children. Actually, Amanita was extremely powerful plant mystical monster who's very concerned about the environment. She was armed with magical plant powers. Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted a little girl hiding behind her mother.
"Boys, bring that girl to me." Amanita ordered to her golems. "Now!"
Two golems began to approach the little scared girl when suddenly-whoosh! All anyone saw was a glint of a heavy chain made of blue energy as it flew through the air and wrapped itself around the arms of both golems. The golems immediately slammed to the ground unconsciously.
Suddenly, Amanita and the villagers looked toward the edge of the forest.
"The mystic spirit." A nine year old girl whispered as her initial fear quickly gave way to feelings of hope. "The mystic spirit that punishes those who prey upon the weak."
"Show yourself!" Amanita shouted, still staring at the forest with a glare. "You can't defeat a vast plant being! I am not afraid of a spirit!"
At that moment, a pair of blazing blue eyes opened in the darkness right in front of her.
"Actually...I'm a mystic, freak." The mystic said with a grin.
Amanita lifted her arms in front of her and shot several thorns from her palms at the forest, but the mystic jumped out of the darkness and dodged all of the incoming thorns coming in her direction. The mystic aimed heavy kick at the plant mystical monster that hit Amanita sixteen times by an unseen force.
"You...you are no spirit." Amanita stammered, struggling to lift her hands up in the air.
"And I'll show you how we deal with freaks who harm innocent people." The mystic said, pointing her finger to Amanita.
The mystic leaped straight into the air and delivered a roundhouse kick to the Amanita's stomach simultaneously. With a groan, the plant mystical monster fell to the ground and passed out. The mystics created several shuriken made out of blue energy from her hands and tossed them to free the captive children, who ran over to their parents with happiness and relief.
"The mystic spirit!" The same nine year old girl shouted, rushing toward the mystic and hugged her with a smile. "Thanks for saving us."
"Not a spirit, child." The mystic said with a grin. "A mystic kunoichi."
With that, the mystic faded out into the darkness.
"There. That's where I saw her." A young girl said, pointing her finger to the forest.
The Caucasian American woman took off her sunglasses and squinted up at the forest area. She has brownish orange hair and green eyes. Her name is April O'Neil. She was known for her work as great reporter and archeologist.
"Thank you." April said. "You better get home now."
"Do you know the spirit?" The young girl asked.
"You don't know the half of it." April smiled kindly.
April walked through the forest on the search for the "mystic spirit" as she looked around to notice that the bushes rustling around her. When April traveled farther into the forest, she suddenly caught herself in blue chains made of energy wrapping around her body tight until she was pulled up to the high trees and landed on the hammock.
"Heh, I've never thought I'll see you here." A familiar elegant voice spoke.
April looked at the person who was holding the blue energized chains and couldn't help but smile at the sight of her female friend. She has long straight black hair worn in a ponytail with longer bangs neatly framing her face and golden-amber eyes. She wore a blue one shoulder sleeveless qipao dress tied in a green obi sash, dark blue patent leggings, dark blue elbow-length gloves, and black combat boots. Her name is Leona.
"Hello, Lee." April smiled happily.
Lee unwrapped the blue energized chains and evaporated them out of thin air.
"So why are you here in Japan?" Lee asked as she sat on her hammock.
"I'm here on a scoop on the local legend for ancient artifact." April explained.
"Ancient artifact?" Lee inquired.
"Yeah, a rich industrialist have an interest on collecting 3000-year-old statues." April replied.
"Well, you do have a habit in archaeology." Lee smiled.
"And you have a habit of coming back to your old home." April smiled back.
Lee's eyes widened and knew what April meant. Japan was her first home that taught her everything about its culture and ancient times of magic, but her new life in New York was more adventure and exciting that stored for her. Especially when she first met the mutant ninja turtle Leonardo. When they first met, they formed a magical attraction from eye contact that was a mystic finds their soul mate called Soultouch. After the defeat of her arch-nemesis Lady Shade, she got together with Leonardo and the two became couple. But she was away for a year on a secret journey by her wise mother Saldana to hone her mystic ninjitsu skills in order to become a more efficient leader of her team. Deep down inside her heart, she missed him and his brave smile. But that doesn't mean that she missed her family.
"Besides, your sisters have been quite separate lately since you girls graduated high school and you left home." April said.
"Like what? I'm sure Donna has her business under control." Lee said reassuringly.
Well, Donatella definitely got her business under control alright. After she graduated high school, she got a job as an IT specialist that paid her a lot of money, especially when it's the summertime in New York City. She has long brown waist length hair with messily bangs and chocolate brown eyes. She wore a purple tank top with green patent pants and large purple boots that goes up her calves.
"Hello, sir." Donna spoke into her headset. "I'm Donatella, your professional IT tech support here to help you 24 hours a day. How can I help you?" She leaned back into her seat. "I see. I can help you with that. Since your computer is on, you have to plug your phone cord for the USB screen to pop up on the screen." She let out a proud smile. "Okay, good, let's get started."
Lee gave April a confused look on her face as she wasn't exactly sure why her intelligent sister didn't try to do something more incredible with her scientific brain.
"I know Donna's a genius and all, but why would she take a job as a IT specialist?" Lee asked.
"On the bright side, it's keeping her busy for the summer." April admitted.
"Then, who's keeping a close eye on Ellie?" Lee inquired.
"Ellie's gotten into the pop star business for stardom and entertainment." April stated.
Michelle rubbed her hands together and held out a shiny golden microphone in her hand as her gydroid band got their positions with their instrument on the stage. After she graduated high school, her cute rocking voice got her first career as a pop idol singer in New York City, bringing out many attention for the civilians with her concerts. She has long blonde hair worn in twintail braids with somewhat longer bangs that frame her face and blue eyes. She wore a sleeveless orange shirt that exposes the midriff, green and gold drum-like shorts, and orange stiletto ankle boots.
"Hell-o New York City! Tell me who you love!" Ellie shouted through her microphone.
Everyone chanted her name and Ellie can feel the sense of excitement around herself.
"That's it! Are you ready for a coolest song ever?" Ellie asked.
As everyone cheered happily, Ellie was amazed by the cheering crowd and began performing an awesome song for the crowd.
Lee let out a tiny smile as she was glad that her fun-loving sister wasn't causing any trouble with her crazy schemes.
"She turned to be the center of attention around the city." April said with a shrug.
Lee released a low sigh as she was ready to hear the last sister of her family.
"Okay, how's Ella doing?" Lee asked.
"Not sure." April replied. "All she does is work out all day."
"Well then, what keeps her active all night?" Lee wondered.
The dark night was set for the brilliant full moon. Rafaela smirked as she looked at the city on the rooftop of the tallest building. After she graduated high school, she has spent her nights as an armored vigilante known as The Night Star. She has short red hair reaching her neck with very long strands on the sides of her head and dark hazelnut eyes. She wore a black collared trench coat over a black corset-like bodysuit, black fingerless gloves, and black combat boots. She also has silver visor in place for her eyes that will help her on the job.
"2802, 2802, burglary in progress at Fulton Street. Suspects considered armed and dangerous." The police spoke through the radio hidden in Ella's visor.
"Time to have some fun." Ella said with a smile.
Pulling out her grey high-tech inline skate-like wheels under her boots, Rafaela quickly began to jump off the building and skated off on her skates. She immediately spotted the criminals started to get away with a bag of cash over their shoulders in the alley. The criminals were a group of five human sisters. They all have tall, athletic figure and they all wore black catsuit and black combat boots. One has long red hair down her back and green eyes. Another has short auburn hair with white streaks as bangs in the front of her hair, grey eyes, and purplish-black lipstick. The third has has long chocolate brown hair and dark brown eyes. The fourth has short wispy blonde hair with bangs, blue eyes, and pink lip gloss. The fifth has long brown hair usually pulled up into a ponytail with layers that frame her face and light blue eyes. Ella swiftly threw two exploding red energized bombs at two women and dashed forward to send them away into the alley darkness with fast speed. That made three women aiming their handguns up at the darkness.
"Who's out there? Show yourself!" The long red-haired leader demanded.
Suddenly, the red-haired leader got punched in the face and sent flying into the wall by a powerful kick. Rafaela then launched herself forward and cartwheeled through the air to kick the long brown-haired woman harshly multiple times before kicking her to the wall with a final kick.
"Looks like it's just you and me." Ella said as she turned around to face the last woman standing. "Go on, attack me from wherever you want.
The brown ponytailed woman dropped the bag and her handgun down to the ground as she got into a fighting stance.
"Ha ha ha ha ha! Gimme all you got. Try and break me." Ella smirked.
After Rafaela and the brown ponytailed woman clashed together in a quick fight, the police pulled up in the alley and looked up at the four unconscious criminals glued on the wall that Rafaela attached them with a high-tech electric net in astonishment through their eyes.
"The Night Star." The first cop said. "This is the third time she's been doing her job for us this week."
"I've bet sooner or later the Nightwatcher and the Night Star will become the fighting duo." The second cop said.
Unknown to the police, Rafaela stood above them on the rooftop and heard the small talk from them.
"Nightwatcher, huh? Interesting." Ella said. "Now that sounds like someone I can break bones in mere seconds."
Lee felt the sense of curiosity in her mind as if she knows that her hotheaded sister is doing secretly dangerous back in the city.
"Saldana told me that you don't contact with her telepathically anymore after your training journey ended a year ago." April stated.
"The whole reason my mother send me down here to become a better leader and many people need me more than my sisters. As a leader, I can't let them down no matter what." Lee said determinedly. "Besides, the more I stay here, the stronger I'll be for any one who needs me."
"Lee, you know in your heart that your sisters and your mother need you. They even felt lost whenever you're out of their sight." April said.
Lee thought what April said and finally knew what she has to do.
"Thanks, April." Lee said. "But I just need the moment of peace before making my decision."
"Anytime." April smiled.
