Summary: The Lotus Ninjas are transported to an alternate dimension, where they meet the gypsy weather mystic: Marisa.


Two fierce mystics are standing on an idyllic, grassy field across from each other. One was a handsome demonic creature. He has a large, muscular build with bright scarlet skin, long white hair resembling a lion's mane, dark red eyes, and sharp teeth. He wore a shiny black chrome plate armor on his chest and lower legs worn over black trousers with a dark red cover over his right leg and a pair of silver wrist bands. Another mystic was a beautiful African-American gypsy woman with a tall and curvaceous figure. She has long, wavy shoulder-length white hair and blue eyes. She wore a white top with a dark navy blue and gold bodice along with a navy-blue sarong and white petticoat. She also has golden hoop earrings, golden anklets on her right ankles, and black flat shoes. The demonic creature unleashed a giant fireball from his palm that hit the ground just in front of the female mystic, forcing her to jump out of the way. The female mystic raised her arms in the air to release twin tornadoes rising from the ground and attacked the beast. The demonic creature produced a giant ball of flames between his hand and swung it forward to throw a mighty burst at the female mystic, who dodged out of the way and fired a ball of lightning from her hand that hit the demon in the face. The female mystic kept dodging the demon's attempt to crush her with his giant fireballs until one fast-moving fireball managed to score a direct hit on the female mystic that dropped her down to the ground.

"You demon!" The female mystic spoke with a dangerous face. "You will never defeat the mystic of weather!"

"Unfortunately, Marisa, I'm not here for you." The demon creature said. "What the child of the empress have concealed, she shall become!"

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Marisa asked with a raised eyebrow as she got up on her feet.

"When I found out the child's magic, I was very impressed. All this time, I had no idea. The power lurking inside her. The glorious destiny that awaits." The demonic creature explained. "But time won't wait forever. The empress can't deny from who her child really is."

"That's a lie! I won't let this happen." Marisa argued.

"Your optimism is precious, Marisa. But this is what the child were born to do. To rule the world at my side." The demonic creature said with a grin. "Her destiny will be fulfilled. I'll make sure of it!"

With that, the demonic creature's eyes flared red as he slowly sank through the ground and disappeared entirely.


In the ancient temple, Marisa walked into the throne room and approached the empress as she knelt her knee down to the floor. The empress has a slim figure with an athletic build, fair skin, long voluminous wavy violet hair, and dark grey eyes. She wore a white dress with long kimono sleeves and high side seam slits. She also wore a pair of black flat shoes.

"Empress Azara." Marisa reported. "I'm afraid I have some bad news."

"What is it?" Empress Azara asked calmly.

"I fought the Demon King Slade and he says something about your child will rule the world by his side." Marisa explained grimly.

Azara looked concerned with wide eyes as if she knew this day will come for her child.

"I'll sent defenses around the palace at once." Marisa continued.

"No." Azara replied. "The promise of my daughter's birth was absolute, especially when I've brought my child into this world along with Slade."

"Forgive me for asking, but did you fall in love with the Demon King years ago?" Marisa asked skeptically.

"Yes, but that was before I knew he was the Demon King in his human form." Azara explained. "After I gave birth to my daughter, I was able to raise her in the peaceful ways of life. Even knowing what she was destined to become. That's why I'm assigning you to protect my daughter and escort her to the Pyramid Temple at all cost."

"I'll accept, my empress." Marisa said with a nod.

"But I must warn you. There's a sadistic sorceress named Adeline." Azara warned.

"I have never heard of her." Marisa said.

"She is Slade's apprentice who shares the same magic as him." Azara explained. "My mystic guards inform me that she ransacked almost to every temple looking for my child but could not find her."

"You have my word, empress." Marisa said as she stood up on her feet. "I promise to send your child to the chamber for her safety."

"Thank you, Marisa." Azara said. "Taissa."

A nine-year-old girl stepped into the throne room next to Azara with an emotionless look on her face. She has pale grey skin, short violet hair, and violet eyes. She wore a free flowing off the shoulder indigo peasant dress along with a black sarong and black ankle wraps with indigo linings.

"This is Marisa, the mystic of weather. She will deliver you to the Pyramid Temple." Azara said to her daughter. "Do what she says and she will protect you."

"I don't want to leave, mother. I'm...afraid." Taissa said with a hint of sadness in her voice.

"You forever had the love of your people, Taissa, even knowing what you would become and what that would bring." Azara said sincerely. She hugged her daughter and looked back at Marisa. "Make sure Slade and Adeline don't take her away from you."

"Understood, my empress." Marisa said with a bow.


As Taissa was waving her mother a farewell good-bye, Marisa snapped her fingers and magically generated tremendous amount of clouds to fuse into a large one. She grabbed Taissa by the hand and stepped on the cloud along with her as it took them high into the sky.

Unknown to them, two large dark red flaming werewolf-like creatures were watching the whole thing from the tree branch in the forest nearby the hidden temple. They ran back to the tip of the dark, morose mountain and approached Slade, who was floating in the air and breathing deeply in a meditative position. They both informed Slade that Marisa is escorting Taissa to the Pyramid Temple that caught Slade's attention from his meditation.

"So, Azara manages to send Marisa to hide our daughter from the glory of her destiny." Slade said with a malevolent smile. "I'll need powerful mystics to destroy Marissa and deliver Taissa to me."

Slade levitated himself down to the ground on his feet and closed his eyes shut as his hands started glowing to create a large red pointed pentagram in the center on the ground.

"Mistici puternici, puternici. Privește-mi chemarea și ieși la mine!" Slade chanted.

The pentagram shot put a huge red surge of energy into the air that opened a portal in the ceiling. The Lotus Ninjas suddenly came falling through the portal with loud screams. Ellie slammed into the ground face first, Donna slammed onto Ellie on her back, Ella slammed onto Donna on her stomach, and Lee slammed onto Ella on her back. The Lotus Ninjas quickly picked themselves up and then realized they're inside the mountain cave.

"Whoa, where are we?" Lee gasped in surprise.

"Are you messing with another portal spell again, Donna?" Ella snapped.

"You can't obviously expect this whole thing was me!" Donna snapped back.

"Ahh, legendary mystic warriors." Slade greeted in a calm tone. "It is an honor to meet you."

"Do we know you?" Ellie asked with a raised eyebrow.

"No, but you will soon enough." Slade replied. "I need your help. I was attacked by a vicious witch. She is pure evil who corrupt innocents to her will. Save me from the wrath of this wicked witch, please."

Unknown to the Lotus Ninjas, four glowing red circle appeared at their feet. Before Lee's aura sense could detect the evil aura, the circles became a column of red energy that rushed up around the mystic kunoichis when their eyes slowly became hypnotic by Slade's magic. Their hair transformed into flames and their eyes became yellow with no pupils. They wore a skintight red bodysuit with tight red arm sleeves that went almost up to their bare shoulders, a matching mini skirt, black tights with red circles on the sides, and knee-high, high-heeled red boots.

"We can take care of this evil witch for you, master. You can count on us." Lee said with a dark voice.

"Hunt down and destroy the weather witch, but bring the child to me." Slade ordered with an evil smile. "Now, go and destroy the one called Marisa!"


Meanwhile, Marisa and Taissa sat down on the ground inside a dark cave as a resting spot under the starry night. Marissa sparked on the logs with her lightning finger to set up a campfire for heat and warmth.

"Marisa, can I ask you something?" Taissa asked.

"Of course." Marisa replied.

"Do...you don't think I'm...a monster?" Taissa asked.

"What makes you think that?" Marisa asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Because I already know who I am." Taissa explained. "Ever since I've been having strange nightmares about the Demon King, I knew right away that I have a mysterious connection to him until he told me that he is my father. I refused to believe it at first until I overheard your conservation with my mom. I know what I'm capable of. My emotions are dangerous. My powers are controlled by emotions. The more I feel, the more energy is released."

"Then no. I don't think you're a monster, Taissa" Marisa said. "You are dark and darkness is often misunderstood. When I was your age, I worshiped as a weather goddess in my tribe with tribal spirituality. I always knew that my magic over weather will be affected by my emotions, but that didn't stop me from controlling it through practice. So, you can say that we have something in common."

"Thank you for understanding." Taissa said with a small smile.

Taissa suddenly heard a whooshing sound approaching to the cave and looked through the trees with narrow eyes.

"Something evil is heading towards us." Taissa said.

Marisa stood up and walked out of the cave to see the Lotus Ninjas standing on the tree branches above her. They summoned their magic and jumped down to attack Marisa, who pushed the demonic mystics away from her with a huge gust of wind. Ella unleashed a sudden barrage of dark red psychic energy waves at the weather mystic in low and high directions. Marisa dodged swiftly from the energy waves and summoned a large pillar of lightning to electrocute Ella from beneath that sent her flying into the huge tree. Donna telekinetically summoned numerous dark purple orbs of psychic energy to surround Marisa and then launched them in different directions at the weather mystic one by one. But Marisa trapped Donna in a tornado that launched her away into a tree. Ellie began swinging blades of bright orange energy at Marisa in fast succession. Marisa radiated a field of lightning bolts around her to attack Ellie that threw her into Ella. Marisa turned around to clash her weather magic with Lee's psychic energy magic until she zapped the blue mystic kunoichi with her lightning hands that sent Lee flying into the tree next to Donna.

The Lotus Ninjas jumped back up on their feet and got up into their fighting stances with their blazing magic. Before they can prepare to attack Marisa, the Lotus Ninjas suddenly were surrounded by a black aura that disabled them from moving. Taissa levitated herself to her feet in front of the surprised Marisa with glowing black eyes and the Lotus Ninjas yelled in pain as two red-orange fireballs reached forth from their chests, returning them to normal in the process. Taissa's eyes stopped glowing as she and Marisa watched the Lotus Ninjas were struggling to stand on their feet.

"What the? What happened?" Lee groaned as she rubbed her head with her left hand.

"What did you do?" Marisa asked Taissa.

"These mystics were under an evil spell from my father, so I broke the spell and set them free from his control." Taissa explained.

"Oh, man, I got a massive headache." Ella said with a groan.

"All I remember is some red guy telling us to find this weather witch." Ellie pointed out.

"That red guy is the Demon King." Marisa said calmly. "His name is Slade. He had you under his spell. Please, share our campfire."

The Lotus Ninjas joined Marisa and Taissa around the fire inside the cave.

"Thanks, Marisa." Lee said. "So, what's your story?"

"Born in a Tanzanian tribe, I discovered that I possessed the mystical ability to control the weather." Marisa explained. "I used my magic to rain to my tribe during a severe drought and they honored me as a goddess. When she left the tribe, the empress Azara found me and made me her bodyguard to protect her kingdom. But now, I am charged with taking her daughter to the Pyramid Temple for her safety. So, where do you come from, mystic warriors?"

"Well, it's kind of hard to explain, but my sisters and I came from a place far away." Lee answered.

"Please don't tell me that we traveled back in time again." Ella said with a groan.

"Not really. We must have been transported to a different dimension, where only mystics are inhabited instead of humans." Donna explained.

"Definitely my kind of place." Ellie said. "But how can we get home?"

"Well, the powerful monks of the Pyramid Temple may know your way home." Marisa said.

"If your guys are willing to help us, then we must know everything about each other." Taissa said. "So, begin sharing with your story."

"All right." Ellie said with a smile. "My sisters and I were once powerful warriors called the Four Dragoness."

Taissa listened Ellie's story with wonder in her eyes while Marisa, Lee, Donna, and Ella listened with small smiles.


The next morning, the Lotus Ninjas walked through the forest along with Marisa and Taissa.

"Hey, Donna, can't you invent something that can send us back home now that we're stuck here?" Ella complained.

"I could." Donna replied. "But it would only take me approximately 60 years to build a portal to get back to our home dimension with all of the ancient wires and components in this Romani Europe period."

"Well, it's good thing we have very long life spans as the Four Dragonesses." Ellie said as she placed her hands behind her head with a grin.

Suddenly, Marisa stopped walked and held her hand out that signaled the others to halt.

"Listen." Marisa said.

The Lotus Ninjas and Taissa looked around with cautious faces as they heard the sound of wind whistling in the air.

"What is it, Marisa? I don't hear anything." Taissa said with a raised eyebrow.

"No, Marisa is right." Lee said as she closed her eyes to detect dark auras. "I sense dark auras approaching fast."

The Lotus Ninjas, Marisa, and Taissa quickly hid up in the trees. They looked down to see transparent black leonine-like creatures marching behind their leader. The creatures had long gold and black mane extending from their forehead to the whole length of their bodies, azure irises with black pupils, and mostly black body with light grey legs, tail tip, chest, and face. The leader was a female mystic with long white hair and light grey eyes. She wore a skintight black bodysuit over a sleeveless grey crop top, a grey mini-skirt, and grey thigh-high boots.

"Taissa, is that Slade's apprentice who's after you?" Marisa asked Taissa.

"Yes." Taissa replied. "That's Adeline."

"If we're gonna find out what her plan, you four need to disguise yourselves." Marisa said to the Lotus Ninjas.

"We're mystics. We're experts at disguising ourselves." Lee whispered with a little smile.

Lee waved her hand back, Ella twisted her hand into a fist, Donna moved her index finger in a circle, and Ellie waved her hand back and forth with a grabbing shape as they pointed their magic at themselves to alter their clothing. Lee wore a blue shirt with ruffles at the ends covered with a dark blue shawl, long emerald green skirt with a black belt, golden chain necklace, and black flat shoes. Ella wore a red shirt with ruffles at the ends covered with a dark red shawl, long kelly green skirt with a black belt, golden chain necklace, and black flat shoes. Donna wore a purple shirt with ruffles at the ends covered with a dark purple shawl, long brownish green skirt with a black belt, golden chain necklace, and black flat shoes. And Ellie wore an orange shirt with ruffles at the ends covered with a dark orange shawl, long light green skirt with a black belt, golden chain necklace, and black flat shoes.

The Lotus Ninjas stealthily jumped down to attack some leonine-like creatures with their magic, but Adeline turned around to notice them just when Marisa and Taissa jumped down from the tree. Adeline snapped her fingers and the leonine-like creatures started surrounding the Lotus Ninjas, Marisa, and Taissa as they gathered around the mystics with fierce growls.

"Give me the girl." Adeline said.

"No way!" Marisa snapped.

"You don't really have a choice in the matter. I'm taking her." Adeline said. "Kaenjishis, attack!"

The Lotus Ninjas, Marisa, and Taissa quickly scattered out of the way before Kaenjishis can launch themselves at the mystics.

One of the Kaenjishis lunged forward at Ellie, but Marisa blew him away with succession of winds. Marisa blew another Kaenjishis with another wind succession. Ellie fired multiple blasts of bright orange energy into the air that rained down on the entire Kaenjishis at once. Marisa generated tremendous amount of clouds into a large one. Taissa, Ellie, Lee, Donna, and Ella quickly stepped on the cloud along with Marisa as it took them away from Adeline and her Kaenjishi army. But Adeline and some of her Kaenjishi army started to chase after them.

"Uh, guys, we've got company!" Ella cried.

Donna turned around to knock five Kaenjishis with purple blasts of psychic energy while Lee fired blue beams of psychic energy at eight more Kaenjishis. Marisa fired balls of lightning from her hand that hit ten Kaenjishis. Ella unleashed red beams of psychic energy from her eyes that hit the three Kaenjishis. Marisa narrowed her eyes when she caught Adeline coming at her sight.

"Move ahead, Lotus!" Marisa called out. "I'll take care of Adeline!"

Marisa jumped off the cloud and generated winds around her feet to float in the air. She shot out several crescent-shaped blasts of lightning that took down the Kaenjishis before hovering above Adeline.

"You can protect that little girl all you want, but it's time for you to take her place at her father's side." Adeline said as she shot out a spreadshot of fireballs from her hands at Marisa. "And I will deliver her to my master, whether she like it or not."

Then, Donna came teleporting in the air and attacked Adeline with a huge purple blast of psychic energy that knocked her into a rock with a groan. Marisa and Donna returned to the large cloud just when Ellie and Ella both combined their magic to finish the rest of the remaining Kaenjishis while Taissa clutched herself onto Lee in fear. Donna looked up to see what's up ahead with wide eyes.

"Uh, guys!" Donna cried. "We got another one!"

One Kaenjishi came out of nowhere and launched a large flaming orb of red energy from his mouth at the cloud that evaporate the visible condensed water vapor mass out of the cliff.

With that, six mystics fell out of the sky with loud screams.
