Summary: Things go swell when the Lotus Ninjas try to help a down-and-out mystic.
Outside, the Lotus Ninjas are waiting for someone in the alley nearby from the building rooftops.
"Purple Lotus, do you see the target?" Ella asked.
"Scanning the target now." Donna replied.
Donna lowered her shield sunglasses and zoomed in on a female robotic mystic teen lurking around in the alley. She has a petite body with robotic ghost white skin, long wavy platinum blonde hair tied into two ponytails, and crimson eyes. She wore a skintight white long-sleeved leotard with neon gray butterfly on the right side, white metallic elbow-length gloves, and white lace up short high heel boots.
The robotic mystic slowly stepped out onto the sidewalk and looked down at the black letter in her hands. She then took off into another alley.
"Got her. She's in the alley by Pod 51 Hotel." Donna reported.
The robotic mystic took a deep breath and looked at the invitation letter.
"I used to be normal." The robotic mystic said sadly. "I was the best stage magician in town until those bugs showed up out of nowhere!"
[Flashback]
A stray Cyberfly landed on the magician's neck and fused itself inside, causing the magical energy to fill her entire body and her skin became robotic ghost white in quick seconds. The audience believed it was part of the show and began cheering to the robotic magician. She exited her dressing room and noticed an invitation letter on the floor, picking it up to read the invite with a huge smile on her face.
[Flashback Ends]
"Whoever this Raven Shiroibara is, she got quite an expensive taste in dark themes." The robotic mystic said with a smile.
The robotic mystic noticed four shadows from either sides of the alley wall and slowly turned around to confront them with a confuse face.
"Huh?" The robotic mystic said.
Suddenly, Donna held her high-tech taser gun in her hand and fired violet electrical blast to electrocute the robotic mystic, causing her to fall on the ground unconsciously.
"Donna!" Ella shouted. "Was that really necessary?"
"What? It worked, didn't it?" Donna said calmly.
In the Crete Fortress, the robotic mystic slowly opened her eyes and immediately sat up on the cold table to see the Lotus Ninjas smiling at her.
"Where am I?" The robotic mystic wondered.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" Lee asked.
"Who...who are you guys?" The robotic mystic demanded cautiously.
"It's okay. We're the Lotus Ninjas. I'm Ellie." Ellie introduced. She gestured her hand at her older sisters. "And these are my sisters: Donna, Ella, and Lee."
"Look, we don't want any trouble. We were actually trying to stop those Cyberflies." Lee explained.
"And I built my technological bug capture gun filled with Marjoram Blossoms to catch them all." Donna added.
"But we ran out of Marjoram Blossom and failed to capture them." Ellie continued.
"And that's when we were invited to Raven's Masquerade Gala." Ella said.
"You too?" The robotic mystic said. "You guys know her by any chance?"
"Yeah, she's our seventh great-grandmother." Ella replied. "She invited us for saving her and her husband all back. So, since you're gonna to the gala, you stay with us and we'll go together."
"Really? Thanks, girls." The robotic mystic said with a smile. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Mirana. But on the stage, I'm known as Opalite."
"I like Opalite better." Lee said.
Ellie was laying down plates of delicious cuisines in front of Opalite, who was eating all the plates with delight.
Opalite and the Lotus Ninjas were getting massages in the spa room. Ella got a shoulder massage, Ellie got a manicure, Donna got relaxed in the mud bath, and Lee and Opalite got pedicure. All provided by Phantom 2.0.
The Lotus Ninjas were cheering for Opalite as the robotic mystic was playing Dance Dance Revolution. Opalite was getting the highest score at 2,000 points. Ellie has second place with 1987 points, Donna has third place with 835 points, Ella has fourth place with 798 points, and Lee has the last place with 690 points. Despite Opalite winning the game, the Lotus Ninjas kept cheering for her due to Opalite's amazing dancing skills.
One week later, the Lotus Ninjas and Opalite gathered together in the kitchen on the day of a gala mission.
"Okay, tonight is Grandma Raven's gala and this is our chance to get some Marjoram Blossoms while having a good time at the same time." Ella said. "From Donna's intel, Marjoram Blossoms are the gala theme along with dark skulls and cobwebs. We dress to impress and grab the flowers for Donna's bug capture gun."
"Hey, Opalite. If you're now a mystic, what magic do you have?" Ellie asked Opalite.
"Auroras." Opalite replied. "I'll show you."
Opalite slowly surrounded her body in a veil of rainbow-colored aura.
"Whoa." Ella, Donna, Lee, and Ellie gasped in surprise.
Then, the veil of rainbow-colored aura had disappeared from Opalite.
"And speaking of dress to impress, I've finally finished my gala masterpieces." Lee said with a grin.
Lee snapped her fingers and five gala outfits appeared behind her. She telekinetically levitated each dress next to her sisters and her friend. Ella's gala outfit was a sleeveless red top with black and silver heart patterns underneath an ornate black cape covered in a red, black and white feather rose pattern along with a red and black mesh skirt overlaying dark red tights with silver speckles and open-toed black knee boots with dark red studs at the top and black feather wedge heels. Donna's gala outfit was a simple purple, white and gray plaid dress that faded into shadowy black club-shaped patterns along with the bottom of the dress being bell-shaped that got significantly larger towards the base, dark purple stockings, and black heeled boots with silver chains across the front. Ellie's gala outfit was a light orange undershirt completely covered by her golden and dark orange striped jacket with a black collar and black cuffs that has a black four layered skirt with gold curlicues patterns and dark orange pants with gold diamonds on them, white stockings also covered in orange diamonds, and large black heeled boots. Opalite's gala outfit was a pearly white bodice is patterned with gold intertwining branches and dark grey chiffon sleeves that has three dark grey skirt layers joined at the middle of her dress along with black mesh leggings and black high-heeled laced boots. And Lee's gala outfit was a blue and black dress with the blue top covered in gold spade patterns that has a gold lace hem which continues to a large navy blue skirt with a black overskirt covered in gold flecks and black high-heeled shoes with white pearls decorating them.
"Whoa. You definitely got style, Lee." Opalite gasped in awe.
"It's a gift." Lee smiled proudly.
"Now, let's hit the party, ladies!" Ella said.
The Lotus Ninjas arrived at the Raven and Azazel's Masquerade Gala inside the ancient temple in their gala attire. They were standing at the entrance of the gothic ballroom that was filled with mystics and mystical creatures. Some of them were dancing on the dance floor while most of them were chatting with delight.
"Whoa, this place is awesome!" Ellie gasped in awe.
"You got that right." Lee agreed. She looked to see several Marjoram Blossoms hanging from the ceiling as decorations. "Donna, what are the odds we can pull this off?"
"About 50% due to the fact we're gonna have a hard time to focus on the mission while having a blast at this wicked party." Donna replied with a smile.
Suddenly, a tall satyr came out of nowhere right in front of the Lotus Ninjas and Opalite that startled the girls. He was half-man and half-goat with two goat-like horns on his head, light skin, brown hair with a cowlick, and deep blue eyes. He wore a dark gray buttoned vest over a cuffed pure white shirt with a long blue bow tie.
"Greetings, ladies. Welcome to the gala." The satyr spoke. He then turned his attention to Opalite, making him blush in quick second. "Oh hello. My name is...is Jason."
"Oh, um, my name is Opalite." Opalite said with a blushing smile.
"Greetings, my great-granddaughters."
The Lotus Ninjas, Opalite, and Jason turned their heads to Raven and Azazel walking towards them. Raven was wearing a long dark purple starry dress with cobweb sleeves, long mauve gloves, and black high-heeled shoes. She also has maroon-colored lipstick and black mascara.
"Hey, Grandma Raven and Grandpa Azazel!" Ellie smiled.
"Welcome to the gala, ladies." Raven said. She looked at Opalite with a smile. "I haven't seen you before. Are you new here?"
"Yes. Thanks for the invitation." Opalite said with a bow.
"Well, enjoy the party." Raven said. "Have fun, ladies."
With that, Raven and Azazel walked away to their throne seats.
"Hey, Opalite, uh, do you, uh, wanna dance with me?" Jason asked shyly.
"I would love to." Opalite replied with a shy smile.
Suddenly, Jason and Opalite walked into the middle of the dance floor surrounded by the guests just as colorful neon lights brighten their feet.
"Oh, this is gonna be good." Ella commented.
Opalite placed her hand on Jason's shoulder with a soft smile. Jason looked down at the dance floor shyly and immediately let out a confident grin. He spun Opalite around in a rapid speed and dipped her, leaving Opalite to kick a leg into the air just as Jason performed a pirouette.
"Whoa." Ellie, Lee, Donna, and Ella said in awe.
Opalite placed her hand on Jason's chest as he spun around towards her. She took his head and twirled around before resting her back against his chest with Jason's hands on her lower hips. Jason bent down and lifted Opalite up in the air. He spun her that led Opalite flying into the air to strike a split pose as her entire body was illuminating with rainbow-colored glow. Opalite then landed on Jason's shoulders as Jason smirked with a dab.
The crowd dropped their mouths in shock, but then they cheered excitedly while clapping their hands for the performance.
"Those two got some moves!" Ellie cheered.
Suddenly, a large puff of sparkling green, blue, red, and pink smoke came out of nowhere at the entrance. Only the Lotus Ninjas, Raven, and Azazel recognized them immediately.
"Shadow Quartet?!" Ellie, Donna, Lee, and Ella exclaimed.
"Looks like my intel was correct." Athena said.
"We know you four are here for the Marjoram Blossoms to capture the Cyberflies and we can't let do that!" Aphrodite said. "Shadow Quartet, attack!"
The Shadow Quartet sprang into the air and headed right towards the Lotus Ninjas, who went charging towards them. They tackled down each other to the ground and began fighting with their magic. While the guests gasped at the battle, the Lotus Ninjas got barraged by lightning-like bolts of plasma energy from the Shadow Quartet that knocked them to the wall. The Lotus Ninjas immediately got back on their feet.
"Athena, Cressida, burn the Marjoram Blossoms into crisps. Artemis and I will take care of the losers." Aphrodite ordered.
"Right." Athena and Cressida said with nods.
"Not on our watch!"
Aphrodite, Artemis, Athena, and Cressida turned their heads to the source of that voice. Opalite jumped into the air and released a multicolored energy beam from her hands that hit Cressida and Athena to the ground. Next, Azazel summoned a large magic circle to barrage Artemis with bolts of black lightning. Jason then fired a hail of missiles at Aphrodite from his horns. Finally, Raven summoned a black skull-like dragon in front of her and fired a powerful dark energy through the dragon to strike the Shadow Quartet at all once to the wall.
"You four are clearly outmatched." Opalite said threateningly.
"This isn't over. Not by a long shot. We'll be back." Aphrodite warned with a glare.
With that, the Shadow Quartet disappeared in a large puff of sparkling green, blue, red, and pink smoke.
The guests cheered and clapped for their heroes' victory just before the demonic beast DJ started dropping music beats from his station that made everyone groove on the dance floor.
Opalite, Jason, Raven, and Azazel began to approach the Lotus Ninjas.
"Thanks for saving us, guys." Ella said. "Oh, since you're new here in the mystic world, we've been thinking about it and you're welcome to stay with us anytime you want."
"Thanks for the offer. But I've decided to stay here for now. I may be a stage magician, but I think I found my next passion through dancing." Opalite said with a smile as she grabbed Jason's hand that made him blush shyly. "Unless my dancing partner agrees to join."
"I'll be delighted." Jason smiled back.
Opalite and Jason walked back to the dance floor.
"Yeah, you go, guys!" Lee cheered.
"As a token for saving the party, Azazel and I will give you all the Marjoram Blossoms to start recapturing those nasty Cyberflies." Raven said.
"Thanks, Grandma Raven." Ella smiled gratefully.
"Are you sure you don't wanna join us?" Ellie called out. "Cuz I was all set to turn Donna's lab into a permanent guest room."
Suddenly, a strong surge of violet electricity electrocuted Ellie that made her to fall on the ground. Everyone turned their attention to Donna, who was looked away with an innocent face while holding her high-tech taser gun in her hand.
"Good girl." Azazel commented as he patted Donna on her head.
Donna let out a devious smirk.
