Summary: When the Kurage Queen returns, Saldana must overcome her fears of being controlled by Kurage Queen in order to defeat her enemy.
Casey, April, and Eliza walked out of the Barcade arcade center and left the place into the alley.
"I seriously love that new arcade game they brought yesterday." Eliza smiled. "The graphics were super wicked."
"You two have been really close lately." April said. "Due to the fact you two shared the love of competing arcade games."
"It's part of my everyday drive." Eliza replied.
"Hey, you're not slightly jealous, are you, Red?" Casey smirked as he was wheeling his bike.
April smirked back as she and her friends walked into the opening alleyway until a black creature ran past them that made April jump in fear.
"I can't believe you out of all people in my life is afraid of something so small." Eliza teased with an amusing grin.
Casey walked forward to the trash cans and picked up a black Hopkinsville goblin in his hands. The goblin creature has pale blue gemstone-like eyes, a purple gemstone on its chest, and sharp claws and teeth. The creature looked at Casey with a friendly smile.
"Cool. It's a goblin." Casey said with a happy smile. "But why would it be doing here?"
"Don't know." April said with a shrug. "It looks lost."
"A strange goblin lost in the city?" Eliza said. "Imagine the press when they found out about this thing."
"Don't worry, I know just the person who can help this creature." Casey said as he got onto his bike. "Catch you later, Eliza."
Eliza waved her hand out as she watched April hopping onto the back of Casey's bike and Casey immediately pedaled away onto the street.
"Casey has been ditching me with April every day and I'm gonna find out why." Eliza muttered.
Eliza wasn't aware that there was a large creature creeping up closer from behind until she spun around and didn't have time to scream.
In the Crete Fortress, Lee was standing on her position towards Saldana for today's training lesson while Donna, Ellie, and Ella sat on their mats to watch the blue mystic kunoichi against the white mystic.
"I don't know about this, mother." Lee said uncomfortably. "Are you sure this is good idea?"
"I assure you it is." Saldana replied as she summoned a white blindfold cloth over her eyes and stood casually with her hands folded behind her back. "Let us begin."
Lee took a deep breath and transformed her hand into a claw composed of ice. She lunged forward and attacked her mother, who vanished out of sight and reappeared behind her daughter in remarkable speed. Donna, Ella, and Ellie couldn't help but cheering for Saldana as Lee kept striking her blindfolded mother with her icy claw.
"The lesson of Blind fighting allows the mystic to rely on perception and giving the illusion of control." Saldana explained as she levitated herself to circle around Lee. "It also can detect and overcome any foe with your keen senses."
Lee quickly transformed her other hand into an icy claw and leapt into the air. Saldana sensed her daughter's movements and moved away with a backflip, causing Lee to strike her claws to the ground. Lee charged forward and slashed her icy claws in every direction to strike Saldana, but the white mystic kept vanishing out of her daughter's sight many times. As Saldana reappeared behind Lee, she surrounded her left foot with white energy and kicked the blue mystic kunoichi's back that sent Lee crashed face first on the dojo's wall.
"Oh snap." Donna muttered.
"That gotta hurt." Ellie said.
"Well, at least it wasn't us." Ella said with a shrug.
Suddenly, Saldana appeared behind her three daughters and burned her blindfold cloth with unnatural anger within her. With her eyes are now deadly pink, Saldana drew out her white energy powers from her fists and raised them up to strike her daughters. But before she can attack them quickly, Saldana's unexpected anger mysteriously vanished and she lowered her arms down with exhausting breaths. Ella, Donna, and Ellie spun around just in time to notice their mother unexpectedly tired.
"Mother, are you okay?" Lee asked.
"I'm fine." Saldana replied. "It's just...something is not...right with me. I need some meditation right now. We'll resume this training later."
Donna, Ella, and Ellie exited out of the dojo. Lee looked at her mother with one last look and walked out of the dojo with her sisters.
In the lab, Donna was working on her new retromutagenic potion with Phantom and Ellie sat on a chair and licked a hard-strawberry lollipop in her hand.
"Do you know what's wrong with mom, Donna?" Ellie asked.
"Maybe she has a headache of some kind." Donna guessed. "Either way, she always need mediation to calm herself down."
"I hope so." Ellie said. "Are you still working on the retromutagen?"
"Pretty much." Donna replied. "I already sent my regards to Donnie earlier today and he's also doing the same thing."
"What's sup, ladies!"
Donna and Ellie turned around to see Casey and April walking into the lab.
"Hi, Casey! Hi, April!" Donna smiled.
"What are you working on, Donna?" April asked.
"The retromutagen, as usual." Donna replied. "What brings you two here?"
"We were wondering if you two can examine this creature." Casey said, holding up the goblin in his hands.
"OMG! It's a Yamirami!" Ellie gushed as she took the goblin from Casey and placed it over to the lab bench. "They're the rarest mystical creatures on the planet. Can we keep him please?"
"I don't think mother would agree to this." Donna said.
"We don't know anything about that creature." April said. "We need to be very cautious if you're gonna keep it."
"My point exactly." Donna agreed.
As Donna kept chatting with April and Casey, Ellie turned back to the goblin just in time to see him drinking up the batch of mutagen she had accidentally dropped her lollipop in. But it was too late for Ellie to do something as the ooze caused the goblin's body to harden into a pink crystal. Ellie's eyes widened wide when she saw the goblin was alive and broken out of the crystal in his new form. The goblin creature now has a pink hard candy body with dark pink gemstone-like eyes, a red gemstone on its chest.
"Oh man, I'm in big trouble now." Ellie muttered regretfully.
"Is everything okay, Ellie?" Casey asked.
"Oh yeah. Everything's fine." Ellie said quickly with an innocent smile. She grabbed the goblin mutant behind her back. "Well, see ya."
Ellie dashed out of the lab with quick speed, leaving her older sister and her friends exchange odd glances.
Back in the dojo, Saldana was quietly meditating in front of the family picture. But unfortunately, the meditation wasn't enough for her avoid mental contact with the Kurage Queen, who was trying to take control of her mind once again.
"No! I should have known it was you!" Saldana exclaimed. "I've defeated you! You were gone!"
"I was never gone, Saldana." The Kurage Queen giggled. "The reason I live is because of you."
"Get out of my mind!" Saldana yelled. "You have no control over me!"
"Oh, but I do." Vela said with an evil grin. "I already have what I came for."
Back to reality, Saldana found herself back to her dojo and breathed hardly with sweat.
Meanwhile, Ellie rushed into the kitchen and placed the mutated goblin inside the freezer.
"Okay, this will keep you from becoming sticky." Ellie said to herself. "Before I can find the right spell to turn you back to normal, I shall call you Pink Hallow for now."
The mutated goblin now named Pink Hallow stepped close and licked Ellie's nose, making her giggle in delight.
"Ellie." Lee called.
Ellie slammed the freezer door and turned to face her sisters and her friends with a panic face.
"What are you doing in the freezer?" Ella asked.
"Nothing!" Ellie replied quickly. "Nothing important."
Saldana walked into the kitchen that caught everyone's attention.
"Ellie, would you be a dear and took a bag of ice for my head?" Saldana said as she approached the orange mystic kunoichi. "And maybe something cold for me to eat."
"Uh, sure." Ellie replied. "You got a headache?"
"Not even close." Saldana said with an unexpected rage in her voice.
Saldana's eyes went deadly pink and she knocked Ellie maliciously away from the fridge. Three mystics and two humans watched Saldana shrieking ferociously in stunned horror. Lee waved her hand back and brought it forward, Ella twisted her hand into a fist and opened it in the air, and Donna moved her index finger in a circle as they pointed their magic at Saldana to restrain her with many chains.
"I already got what I've came for." Saldana said suddenly as if her own voice was accompanied by a sinister voice. "Soon, this city will be mine!"
Saldana let out a sharp gasp and the Kurage Queen's presence left her mind.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Lee asked as she, Ella, and Donna used their magic to release the chains from Saldana. "Are you okay?"
"No, Leona." Saldana said. "The Kurage Queen has returned."
Elsewhere, the Kurage Queen stood her feet on the rooftop outside in the city. On her side, a pink golem-like creature with several black dots in a hexagonal formation, long arms with three fairly human-like fingers, and short legs that end in a large black mossy bushes.
"Rise, my golem warriors." Vela said with a smile. "It's time for an immediate attack!"
The giant golem creatures obeyed their master and began invading the city to success the Kurage Queen's plans.
"Soon, this world will be mine." Vela grinned.
Back in the Crete Fortress, everyone had watched the entire city was invaded from giant golem creatures from the news report on TV.
"Whoa." April said as she fell back into the couch. "How do you guys even face these sort of things?"
"Like every day, Red." Casey said with a cocky smile. "But you'll eventually get used to it."
"We could really use your help this time, mother." Lee said as she turned to face Saldana. "You took that creep out once and you can do it again."
"That was different, Leona." Saldana said. "This time, the Kurage Queen has grown more powerful than before. I do not fear for myself but for what she would force me to do with her advanced powers."
Outside, the giant golems stopped their attack when they spotted their master's enemies driving through the streets. Lee, Ella, Donna, and April rode in the Turbo Karts through the city with Ellie skiing up behind them on her skates. Casey was riding his bike next to the orange mystic kunoichi.
"Remind me again why am I the bait?" Ellie yelled.
"One, to lead them away from the people!" Ella said. "And two, being bait is your best specialty!"
As the giant golem creatures started to follow after them, Lee pressed a green button in her kart and the Turbo Kart detached itself into four sidecars. Ella, Donna, and April drove up ahead as Lee turned her sidecar around to face the creatures with the human vigilante. Casey installed a pack of explosive marbles behind him, blowing up the deadly golem creatures. Lee shot out multiple rockets towards the incoming golem creatures that sent them flying away to the ground.
"Things are about to go crazy around here!" Lee said.
Meanwhile, Saldana was meditating calmly in her dojo as she was trying to build her mental strength against the Kurage Queen's control. But that didn't stop North from tormenting her inside her mind.
"Join me, Saldana!" The Kurage Queen echoed. "Together, we can rule in the whole new world!"
"No, I won't!" Saldana screamed as she grasped her head in pain. "Get out of my mind!"
"That's too bad." Vela smiled. "Sooner or later, you will join me like you did before."
Back in the city streets, the mystics and their human allies continued to fight against the golem creatures. One giant golem had managed to catch up to the Turbo Karts and sped close to grab Ellie, but Ella created a ball of lightning to electrocute the golem in the face as Donna and April released multiple rockets towards the golem from the Turbo Karts.
"I guess that took care of it!" April said to Donna with a smile.
Suddenly, another giant golem hopped on top of the Turbo Kart and snatched April off the sidecar by surprise.
"April!" Casey gasped as he watched the golem started running away with April in its grasp and then turned to face Donna. "Donna, let's follow that freak!"
Donna nodded her head and reattached the sidecar back to hers before turning around to follow Casey. April kept hitting the golem's arm desperately, but the creature's grip was too strong for her to break free. Casey and Donna rushed down the street to rescue April. But it was too late. They watched the golem dragged April up out of nowhere with fast speed.
"April!" Casey cried.
"Don't worry, Casey. We get her back. I promise." Donna said, touching the human vigilante's shoulder with her hand.
"Hey, April? Wake up!" A voice called out.
April opened her eyes and found herself locked in a cage with Eliza.
"Oh, Eliza, thank goodness." April said. "But where are we?"
"We're in some kind of an abandoned warehouse." Eliza replied. "Prisoners of the Kurage Queen."
April looked around and looked at several cages filled with innocent people. Before she finds a way to escape out of the cage, the Kurage Queen and two giant golems entered into the main room.
"Welcome, my wonderful guests." The Kurage Queen said with a scary smile on her face. "There's no need to fear. You all here for something spectacular."
"Let us out of her, you monster!" April said.
"I'm afraid I can't do that." The Kurage Queen replied. "I already unlock the secrets of the ultimate army and you all become that golem army."
The captive people gasped in terror as the Kurage Queen was ready to proceed her plan.
Back in the Crete Fortress, the Lotus Ninjas and Casey gathered together in the living room.
"The Kurage Queen entered into my mind again and I saw something more drastic than those golems." Saldana explained. "With the knowledge of her experiments, she will create an army of golem people."
"We've got to stop her, mother." Ella said determinedly.
"I already told you before." Saldana said sternly. "She's too powerful, even for me."
"But, mother, this is the right time we can really use your help." Lee said softly.
"No!" Saldana bellowed. "I can't put all of you in danger last time."
"We all believe in you, Saldana." Casey said. "But we need your help and April does too."
Saldana knew that her daughters and her human ally have faith in her, but she refused to join the fight and walked back into the dojo.
Meanwhile, the Lotus Ninjas and Casey managed to track the giant golems back to the Kurage Queen's lair.
"Hey, April's okay. I knew it." Casey said. He realized that the redhead kunoichi wasn't alone. "And is that Eliza?"
"Casey, you will have to free April and the people." Donna said. "We'll take care of the golems."
"Got it." Casey said with a nod.
Suddenly, a hand touched Lee on the shoulder. The mystic kunoichis and the human vigilante turned to face Saldana, who had come to join the fight.
"I knew you wouldn't let us down, mother." Lee said with a smile.
"It's time to dethrone the Kurage Queen." Saldana said.
The golem creatures detected the heroes and the Kurage Queen levitated herself in the air above them.
"Glad you finally come to your senses, Saldana." The Kurage Queen grinned. "Now, let me tap into your mind again, so you can destroy your daughters."
"I don't think so, Kurage Queen!" Ellie yelled. "Get her, Pink Hallow!"
Ellie waved her hand back and forth with a grabbing shape and pointed her magic to summon a bright orange portal in front of her. Pink Hallow flew out of the portal and landed on the Kurage Queen, swiping at the mystic scientist's face with his sharp claws so that North can't focus on her power to control Saldana's mind.
"Is that Casey's goblin?" Donna questioned.
"Absolutely not." Ellie denied quickly.
As the Kurage Queen was distracted, the Lotus Ninjas held off the giant golems while Casey made his way over to the control panel and lowered all the cages down to the floor. Casey ran over to the cage and got it open to set April and Eliza free.
"Thanks, Casey." April smiled.
"But how did you find us?" Eliza asked.
"Long story, but help me get everyone out of here." Casey replied.
The Kurage Queen threw Pink Hallow off of her and ran out of the room through the hole up above. Saldana saw the Kurage Queen's retract and decided to follow, leaving her daughters to take care the rest with their human allies.
As Saldana chased the Kurage Queen all the way to the rooftop, they faced each other from the distance. North used her mystic powers to take control of Saldana's mind, but the white mystic master was strong enough to resist it.
"It is over, Kurage Queen!" Saldana declared.
Saldana summoned the blindfold cloth around her eyes that left the Kurage Queen plunging into darkness. As North was stumbling through the dark without Saldana's eyes, the white mystic came charging at the Kurage Queen with a rapid series of kicks and punches that slammed her painfully into the ground. With a growl, the Kurage Queen swung wildly to hit Saldana. But instead her desperate attempt made her fall from the rooftop with a scream.
"Good-bye, my queen." Saldana said boldly.
Saldana took off the blindfold cloth and turned away to return to her family.
