Summary: The Lotus Ninjas look for a way to eliminate New York City's Cyberflies problem.
On a dark starry night, the Sonicruiser was driving hurriedly on the road. Ella wore a dark red catsuit that has black over the chest and elbows areas and black high-heeled boots with red stripes. Donna wore a dark purple catsuit that has black over the chest and elbows areas and black high-heeled boots with purple stripes. Lee wore a dark blue catsuit that has black over the chest and elbows areas and black high-heeled boots with white stripes. And Ellie wore a dark orange catsuit that has black over the chest and elbows areas and black high-heeled boots with orange stripes.
"Alright, ladies!" Ella spoke. "Hart island's graveyard has been swarmed with Cyberflies. So, let's get on!"
The Lotus Ninjas immediately arrived at the cemetery just in time to witness screaming people running away. The Sonicruiser parked right in front of the entrance as the Lotus Ninjas walked through the entrance with black gun-like devices in their hands. The devices have a dark gray horn-like barrel with a jagged neon green stripe around the barrel and a semi-cube end of the handle. A swarm of Cyberflies were flying everywhere around the gravestones, but the entire place was nearly empty.
"Okay girls, remember the plan." Ella ordered. "Capture the Cyberflies, so nobody gets transformed."
"Roger that!" Ellie grinned.
Ellie twirled herself around the gravestones in rapid speed and began emitting a powerful stream of bright green energy that sucked some of the Cyberflies inside the semi-cube container. Ella sprang into the air with a twisting reverse back flip and started sucking some of the Cyberflies with bright green energy stream. Lee twirled her upside-down body and began sucking some of the Cyberflies with bright green energy stream. Donna held up a bright purple hexagonal sphere in her hand and tossed them to trap the last remaining Cyberflies. She then jammed her device into the sphere and began sucking the Cyberflies with bright green energy stream.
The Lotus Ninjas gathered together with successful smile.
"You know, this plan has really coming in together." Lee said with a proud smile.
Unknown to them, someone was watching them with interest.
Suddenly, a massive black demon-like beast stood behind the Lotus Ninjas out of nowhere. He has a large, muscular build with numerous white tiger-like stripes on his body, long white flowing hair, red pupilless eyes, pointy ears, fanged teeth, long black bull horns, and hoof-like feet. He wore a black loincloth around his waist with a silver belt set with black stones and steel black wristbands. The demon beast's growling made the Lotus Ninjas turn around in fear. He slammed his fists to the ground that delivered a massive black shockwave to hit the Lotus Ninjas. The shockwave also destroyed the devices that released all the Cyberflies to their escape.
"Yeah, remember what I just said a minute ago? I take all back." Lee said to her sisters with a deadpan look on her face.
"Don't harm them, my love."
The Lotus Ninjas whipped around to see a mysterious woman walking out of the shadows and standing next to the demon beast. She has pale skin, long black hair that reaches down to her waist, and violet eyes. She wore a black gothic lolita ruffled dress with short sleeves and black flat shoes. She also has black mascara and black lipstick.
"No need to be afraid, fellow mystics." The mystic woman said with a warm smile.
"How did you know we're mystics?" Ella asked with a confused eyebrow.
"Through your auras." The woman replied. "Only the descendants of the Dragoness have the ability to sense mystic's auras."
"Whoa! That's so cool!" Ellie exclaimed. She then realized what the woman just said. "But wait. We are descendants of the Dragoness and we couldn't even sense your aura since we arrived here."
"Oh my. Then, it's an honor to meet my seventh great-granddaughters." The mystic woman said as she gave a curtsy pose to the Lotus Ninjas. "My name is Raven. And this beast is my husband Azazel. Come, we'll give you a grand tour of our home."
Azazel approached towards the central grave that has a lotus flower symbol on it and pushed the lid off the grave that revealed a staircase going down. He, Raven, and the Lotus Ninjas walked down in a partially flooded chamber lined with skeletons. Azazel, Raven, and the Lotus Ninjas arrived into a complete underground town filled with mystics and mystical creatures.
"This place is amazing!" Ellie exclaimed.
As the Lotus Ninjas began exploring, the Shadow Quartet saw them as they were drinking shakes in relaxation.
"OMG! Hey, girls, it's them!" Cressida cried. "The girls that fought us!"
"What are they doing here?" Artemis wondered.
"I don't know, but let's get some intel on them." Aphrodite said. "Stealth mode only."
"Right." Athena agreed.
As the Lotus Ninjas arrived at the Raven and Azazel's home that resembled as an ancient pyramid-shaped temple, they walked up to the stairways all the way to the entrance and headed into the egyptian style room that led them to the black crystalline office.
"Doesn't this seem surprising to know one of our ancestors have lived so long and we didn't know?" Lee questioned.
"Did Azalea used to live here?" Ella wondered.
"No, and she'll never find out about my location." Raven replied with a sad frown. "She was the one who imprisoned me and my husband in a crystal prison when we fought three hundred years ago."
Raven lifted her hand in the air and pulled up holographic images of the Yamiramis, Cardcaster, Crimson Dazzler, Weather Queen, Mira, and the mystical cosplayers above her.
"But I should've known her Cyberflies were the cause of these mystic humans. After my magic helped me and my love escape from the crystals, we kept ourselves on a low profile here." Raven continued.
"You know, we can help you catch the Cyberflies." Lee said. She placed her hand on Donna's shoulder. "Donna is the tech genius. She can create a device to capture the Cyberflies."
"Really?" Raven asked as she stared at Donna with a huge smile. "You can really do that?"
"Yup. I guaranteed it!" Donna replied with a proud grin.
"Well then, go for it." Raven said. "Catch those Cyberflies and bring them to me. I'll safely secured them to the hidden vault. But I also need you four to look up a location spell from your spellbook."
"Our spellbook?" Ellie asked with a raised eyebrow. "Our mom got a spellbook, but why do you need a location spell for?"
"I need a location spell to find my daughter." Luna answered.
"Your daughter?!" Ella, Lee, Donna, and Ellie exclaimed in surprise.
"Oh, I know. It's a lot to ask. But my husband and I haven't seen our daughter in three hundred years. Finding her is our only hope." Raven explained as Azazel placed his hand on his wife's shoulder with a frown on his face. "Your mother is lucky to have your four on her side. I've tried many times to locate my daughter on my own, but none of the spells worked."
"What's your daughter's name?" Ellie asked.
"We have two daughters named Luna and Ophelia." Luna replied.
"Wait a minute. Ophelia?" Donna gasped. "As in the Dragoness known for her potential in cosmetic magic and endless celebrations?"
"Yup, that's her." Raven said. "She's pure mystic from my side, but she got curved horns from her daddy. Despite her cheerful outlook, Azazel taught her to be a capable fighter for the greater good. Her existence led her future generation all the way to you girls today."
"Whoa." Lee said in awe.
"I always love Grandma Ophelia." Ellie said with a smile. "Her party tips are off the chain."
"Don't worry, Grandma Raven." Ella said with an assuring smile. "We got you covered. We promise."
The Lotus Ninjas walked away out of the room, leaving Raven alone with a frown. Azazel placed an assuring smile on his face that made his wife look up at him with a smile.
The next morning, the Lotus Ninjas drove the Sonicruiser down the street.
"Okay, girls. I managed to analyze up on the Cyberfly's feeding behavior. They are usually attracted to Marjoram Blossoms." Donna stated.
"Let it rip, Lee!" Ella called out.
Lee stood on top of the Sonicruiser with a black shoulder mounted rifle in her hands and started to release Marjoram Blossom scent into the air.
"Alright, Donna, you're up!" Ella shouted.
Donna began running onto the rooftops to see one Cyberfly flying in the air at her sight.
"I'm on it!" Donna said with a grin.
Donna pulled out one purple shamballa bead from her bracelet and tossed it in the air to create a dark purple horn-like barrel with a jagged neon green stripe around the barrel and a semi-cube end of the handle. She then pulled out one more shamballa bead from her bracelet and tossed it in the air to create her dark violet futuristic jet-like broom. She jumped on the broom and began soaring near the Marjoram Blossom scent as she pulled down her high-tech sunglasses to see several Cyberflies coming through the scent at her sights. Donna fired a bright green energy stream that sucked all the Cyberflies inside without any problem and zoomed back into the Sonicruiser just as Lee jumped back inside the vehicle.
The Lotus Ninjas gathered together to stare at a large jar filled with captive Cyberflies.
"Nice job getting all the Cyberflies, Donna." Ellie said with a smile.
"Boo to the yah!" Donna cheered. "This was easier than I thought it would be!"
"Nice work, ladies." Ella said with a grin. "Now, let's head home to get the spell from mom's spellbook."
Ella hopped back to the driver's seat and started driving all the way home. But the Shadow Quartet were silently watching the Sonicruiser from the tallest tower.
"Looks like they have successfully collected the Cyberflies." Athena said as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"Oh, Azalea isn't gonna like this, not one bit." Cressida said in worry.
"But whose gonna tell her?" Artemis asked.
"I'll tell her." Aphrodite replied. "Then, we'll ambush them with a surprise attack they'll never expect."
With that, the Shadow Quartet sprang into the air to head back to the Hidden City.
As the Sonicruiser stopped in front of the cemetery, the Lotus Ninjas arrived at Raven's temple as Donna was holding a large jar of Cyberflies in her hands.
"Whoa, you actually got all of them!" Raven said with a relieved smile. "Do you retrieve the location spell?"
"Yup!" Ella replied. "Mom was surprised and happy when we told her about you, so she gave us the location spell to search for your daughter."
"Oh, I'll be honored to meet her when this is over." Raven smiled warmly. "Now, let's perform the spell."
Donna handed over the jar to Azazel, who pressed his hand to the wall that appeared to a large shiny obsidian safe. He entered the code that appeared to be a zigzag Z motion. The safe slowly opened and Azazel placed the jar inside at the center of the room as he then swept his hand to close the safe door. Azazel placed a gentle kiss on Raven's forehead and exited the room to guard the door for any trespassers.
The Lotus Ninjas and Raven gathered together in a circle and held out their hands to concentrate on the spell just as their eyes started to glow brightly.
"Runa o mitsukeru!" Ella, Donna, Lee, Ellie, and Raven casted.
Suddenly, a large glowing magical circle was formed on the ground under the mystics' feet and a large crystal ball appeared at the center of the circle. Ella, Donna, Lee, Ellie, and Raven opened their eyes with small gasps as they saw an image of Luna sleeping in some sort of capsule from the crystal ball.
"Alright! We did it!" Ellie cheered.
"Luna?" Raven spoke softly. "She's alive. After all this time."
"Aww. What a lovely family reunion."
Unexpectedly, the Lotus Ninjas and Raven got trapped inside a large glowing navy-blue sphere-shaped cage to the wall. Azazel quickly came into the room to rescue the mystics until he was tied tightly with glowing indigo chains around him. The Shadow Quartet stepped forward from the shadows with evil smirks on their faces.
"Oh, not them again!" Ella groaned.
"You better let us out of here right now!" Lee demanded.
"Oh, but you're about to meet the Dragoness Queen herself." Aphrodite said with a smile.
A large black swirling portal appeared at the ceiling and everyone looked up to see Azalea levitating herself down from it in mid-air as she floated in front of the cage.
"Hello, Raven." Azalea said.
"It's been a long, long time." Raven said with narrow eyes. "Whatever you're doing right now, you can't do this, Azalea!"
"And why not?" Azalea questioned. "You should've join me when you have the chance. The Cyberflies are my masterpiece."
"So, what, you're just going to conquer the human race as slaves to your glory?" Raven retorted.
"Something like that." Azalea retorted back. "Shadow Quartet, recover my Cyberflies!"
The Shadow Quartet sprinted around the room to search for the jar.
"My Cyberflies will transform the entire human population forever. I will not let you, your husband, and our descendants stand in my way!" Azalea declared.
"Not on my watch!" Raven said.
Raven's eyes glowed brightly as the cage crumbled into dust that freed herself and the Lotus Ninjas. She lifted her hand in front of her and fired a powerful skull-shaped blast of dark indigo energy to strike Azalea, who blocked the attack with a force field and fired a concentrated beam of black energy that made Raven block the attack with a large dark indigo shield. Raven striked Azalea with continuous arcs of dark indigo energy in a rapid succession. Azalea leapt forward to strike Raven with her black magic at full force, but Raven kicked Azalea to the wall with dark indigo magic energized leg.
The Lotus Ninjas combined their magic to break the chains that freed Azazel just as the Shadow Quartet finally took the jar out of the safe on the wall.
"We got what we came for." Azalea ordered the Shadow Quartet. "Let's go."
Azalea and the Shadow Quartet levitated themselves into the opening portal at the ceiling.
"They're heading to the portal! Let's go!" Ella ordered urgently.
The Lotus Ninjas, Raven, and Azazel quickly went through the portal that took them to the building rooftop, where Azalea and the Shadow Quartet were looking over the city. Ella, Lee, Ellie, and Donna unleashed multiple colorful crescent-like blades of psychic energy from their hands at the Shadow Quartet in fast succession.
"I got it!" Azazel called out as he levitated the jar to his hands.
Azalea summoned two large black magic circles from her hands and two floating massive mechanical hands started firing black laser beams at the Lotus Ninjas, Raven, and Azazel. But Azazel blocked the beams with his huge beam coming from his eyes as Raven unleashed a massive dark indigo of magical energy that pushed Azalea and the Shadow Quartet away to the edge of the roof. But Azalea then summoned a large black magic circle from her right hand to summon two floating massive mechanical hands that grabbed Lee in the air to drop her onto the street as a threat.
"Let my sister go!" Ella demanded threateningly.
"Oh, such sisterly loyalty." Azalea mocked. She turned her attention to Lee. "My older sister and I used to have a strong one until she became a fool to stop me from accessing full conquest. But I'm quite surprised that she didn't got the guts to tell her own descendants about our alien heritage."
"What?" Lee gasped with wide eyes.
"It's true. My sister and I are part of an alien race of pure mystical energy from a distant planet. That makes all of my sister's future descendants aliens too." Azalea said. She turned to Raven, Ella, Donna, Ellie, and Azazel with narrow eyes. "Now hand over the Cyberflies and I'll let her go."
"You can forget it, Azalea!" Raven snapped.
"So be it." Azalea said with an evil grin.
Azalea snapped her fingers and two massive mechanical hands clapped together squarely on Lee. She moved the mechanical hands away and Lee became badly disoriented from the hit. One mechanical hand slammed the weary groaning Lee off the roof at full speed.
"No!" Donna and Ellie cried in shock.
"Leona!" Ella screamed in horror.
Ella sprinted high in the air and jumped off the roof after Lee, leaving three mystics and one demon beast along against Azalea and the recovered Shadow Quartet. Before Donna and Ellie could rush after their sisters, one mechanical hand began firing a black laser beam that made them dodge out of the way while the mechanical hand quickly snatched the jar away from Azazel. Raven was about to strike her magic at the mechanical hands until Azalea fired a concentrated blast of black energy that sent Raven flying to Azazel's hands.
As Ella was falling down to save Lee, a bright red heart-shaped birthmark suddenly started to manifest on Ella's forehead area. A pair of large of angelic psychic fire wings appeared blazing on her back. She dove straight down in swift speed and reached out to grip Lee's hand before taking off back to the rooftop.
Azalea snared Raven, Azazel, Donna, and Ellie in mechanical hands as the Shadow Quartet watched with satisfaction.
"Struggling only makes it worse, you know." Azalea said with a sinister grin. "It's over. I win."
"I wouldn't think so!"
Everyone turned their attention to Ella, who was hovering in the air with burning red eyes while holding an unconscious Lee in her arms. Ella lowered Lee gently to the ground and began unloading a machine-gun barrage of psychic flame bolts that only hit the Shadow Quartet with massive damage. But Azalea moved through them all without so much as getting burned. Donna, Ellie, Raven, and Azazel were now free from Azalea's mechanical hands as they looked at the battle with awe faces. Ella began channeling her psychic flame around herself and then fired the psychic flames forward in the shape of a giant dragon that heavily burned Azalea with a loud roar on impact. She took deep breaths and slowly descended to collapse her knees on the roof. Her birthmark and the flaming angel wings disappeared out of thin air.
Lee then woke up from her consciousness and looked at the breathing Ella with a smile.
"Thanks, sis." Lee said.
"What was that?" Raven asked.
"I have no idea what I just did, but welcome." Ella replied.
"Hey, where's Azalea and the Shadow freaks?" Lee wondered.
Everyone looked up to see Azalea releasing the Cyberflies high above them. The Shadow Quartet were sitting on the mechanical hand next to Azalea with massive pain.
"Go and cyberize the humans!" Azalea declared.
Then, Azalea generated a large black energy sphere with her hands and placed it on herself and the Shadow Quartet as they vanished out of sight.
"Everyone okay?" Raven asked.
"We're fine, but the Cyberflies got away." Ella replied. "But I think it's time for a little family reunion back home."
In the Crete Fortress, the Lotus Ninjas have explained Saldana about the whole thing in the living room. Saldana began hugging Raven while crying tears of joy.
"Oh, Grandma Raven! I can't believe it! You have been alive all along!" Saldana said with a smile. "But how long have I been hiding?"
"Like three hundred years." Raven replied.
"Three hundred years?" Saldana gasped in shock. "Oh my. And yet, you have stayed so young for the past couple years."
"I've been living in underground cities with my husband to keep my existence away from potential threats from the surface." Raven explained. "But whenever you and your daughters need us, we'll always be there anytime."
"Even though Azalea may have released her Cyberflies, we'll get them again." Donna said. "Once I located more Marjoram Blossoms."
"What was that crazy power-up, Ella?" Ellie asked with a childlike interest as she sat on Azazel's shoulder. "It was so cool!"
"I don't know." Ella replied with a casual shrug. "I just knew Lee was falling to certain doom and I went down to save her. Then, after that, I sorta unleashed my psychic element to defeat Azalea."
"Speaking of Azalea, she told me that she and her sister were aliens from outer space." Lee said. "She told me right before she threw me off the roof. So, that means all this time we're part alien and we didn't know.
"What?" Ellie said with wide eyes. "So, all this time we're actually from outer space and not from this planet all along?"
"Whoa." Donna and Ella gasped in awe.
"I've spent so long developing a number of magic techniques that I would never think our very first ancestor was an alien." Raven said with a cautious look on her face.
"And that could be the reason why our Dragoness birthmark made us different from standard mystics in this city." Saldana pointed out.
"Until we have the true answer, we'll have to be on our guard the next time we see Azalea again." Raven said determinedly.
Back in the Hidden City, Azalea stood in front of the glass globe inside her repaired lab as she was staring at the sleeping female mystic locked inside. She has pale white skin, long thick white curly hair that reaches to her waist, and violet eyes. She was wearing a black sleeveless dress with a high neck and two slits on top of the dress.
"My plan must continue. My bugs need to transform human into mystical robot for my conquest." Azalea stated.
"Cyberflies." Athena corrected.
"What?" Azalea asked in confusion.
"It's Cyberflies. At least, that's what those Lotus Dragonesses kept calling them." Athena explained. "Which I'm not gonna lie. The name is pretty catchy."
Aphrodite, Artemis, and Cressida nodded their heads in agreement.
"Millions of humans will be cyberized." Azalea said. She looked at the sleeping mystic closely. "If I don't get rid of the Dragonesses, they'll ruin everything. I will eliminate them."
HAPPY NEW YEARS!
