Summary: Ellie tries to get Azalea to tolerate humans.
Alisa walked forward in front of a vanity mirror inside her dome. She watched as the reflection screen was swiping images of all mystical locations in the search for Azalea.
"Pathetic." Alisa spoke. "Azalea has been found guilty of crimes against mystickind. Illicit mystical machine creations and unleashing dark mystic forces in an effort to destroy humanity. And especially tampering with her sister's history and omitting the truth from her family for generations!"
Alisa turned around just as the reflection screen shut off from the vanity mirror.
"She can hide all she wants, but she will pay for taking my life away from me." Alisa said. "But first, time to prepare for a family reunion."
Ella and Angel played video games in Angel's apartment. But a loud crash interrupted their game, causing the girls to pause their game.
"What the heck is that?" Ella asked.
"It's my new neighbor." Angel groaned in frustration. "I don't know what's going on there, but the noise is driving me crazy! But when my mystic katana was reacting crazy, the neighbor must be a mystic now that I'm mentioning it out loud."
Ella placed the game controller on the mini table and stood up off the couch.
"Then, let's go and check this mystic neighbor out." Ella said.
Few minutes later, Ella and Angel stood in front of the door.
"So, what are we gonna do if the neighbor won't open the door?" Angel asked.
"Then, I can just use a spell to sneak inside and we seek out any mystical evidence." Ella replied with a smile.
"Fair enough." Angel smiled with a shrug.
Ella knocked politely on the door.
"For the last time, Daniel, I don't want to join your art and crafts club!"
As the neighbor opened the door, Ella and Angel's eyes widened in shock. The neighbor was other than Azalea. She was wearing a black satin belted robe and black criss cross fluffy slippers.
"Azalea?!" Ella exclaimed.
Ella summoned her magic in a form of small growing masses of red energy that created a sphere around Azalea, restraining her from moving or breaking free.
"I don't know what you're up to, but..." Ella said.
"Ella, what are you doing? Release Azalea!"
Ella turned around to see Ellie standing behind the dining table. Ellie was wearing a teal green jacket over a dark orange romper, teal green tights, and black high heel boots.
"Ellie?! What are you doing?" Ella asked as she released Azalea from her magic with a snap of her fingers.
"And why in the world are you helping Azalea?!" Angel cried.
"Look, just hear me out. I can explain everything." Ellie said with a sheepish smile. "It all started when I found Azalea living on the street."
[Flashback]
Azalea was walking in an umbrella under the rain, looking accurately homeless.
[Flashback Ends]
"Then, I helped her set up this apartment with a mystic touch." Ellie finished.
Ella and Angel looked around the apartment. The place has glass window with a butterfly design, black tiled floors in a diagonal checkerboard pattern, a luxurious kitchen, an elegant dining room, and a stylish living room with a flat screen TV.
"To keep her out of sight from the Hidden City, I've decided to turn Azalea from being a bad witch to a good witch!" Ellie smiled as she pointed her thumb to herself.
Ella quickly pulled Ellie close to her face.
"Ellie, are you outta your mind?!" Ella hissed. "Have you already forgotten on what she did to our family's history? Azalea is our sworn enemy!"
"I know that." Ellie said with a frown. "But despite all of that, she's still part of the Dragoness family. I believe there's good in her somewhere and I'm the right mystic to make that happen."
The door suddenly knocked, making Ellie gasp with a smile.
"Yay! They're here!" Ellie said.
"Who?" Ella and Angel asked with a confuse eyebrow.
Donna, Saldana, and Lee bursted in the apartment. Donna wore a jade green jacket over a dark purple romper, jade green tights, and black high heel boots. Saldana wore a sleeveless white qipao dress and white high heels. And Lee wore a lime green jacket over a dark blue romper, lime green tights, and black high heel boots.
"Hiya!" Lee greeted.
Saldana suddenly gasped as she saw Azalea at the end of the room.
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!" Saldana demanded. "I thought we were invited to Angel's family dinner!"
"Sadly, no. Unfortunately, we're helping Azalea get back in shape." Angel said as she placed her hands on her hips.
"Ha! Told ya! Pay up!" Lee grinned as she held her hand out and
Donna groaned reluctantly and passed her cash to Lee.
"What kind of nitwit invite Azalea out of all people?" Saldana asked angrily.
Angel and Ella immediately pointed their fingers to Ellie, who stared at them with a deadpan expression.
"Thanks." Ellie said with a pout.
"Ellie, explain yourself." Saldana commanded.
"Mom, Azalea's not our enemy anymore. She's family like she once was before." Ellie explained nervously. "And once she gets some family love, I promise you she'll feel right at home."
Donna, Lee, Ella, Angel, and Saldana glanced at each other skeptically.
Azazel looked at the letter in his hands as he and Raven stood in front of a grayish-green geodesic dome-shaped building outside.
"Well, this place she wants us to meet." Azazel said.
"I'm still nervous about all of this, but let's hope she's really in there." Raven said.
Raven and Azazel cautiously entered Alisa's palace. They found themselves in a huge room with an impressive high ceilings, a chandelier, and glittering walls decorated with vanity mirrors. To them, the palace was amazing, but it was absolutely still and eerily quiet.
"Alisa?" Raven called.
"Mom. Dad." Alisa replied.
Raven and Azazel followed the sound of their long lost daughter's voice and saw her at the throne floating on top of a stepped lotus flower-shaped altar. They were surprised by Alisa's new appearance.
"Alisa, you look beautiful." Raven said. "And this place is amazing."
"Thank you. I never knew what I was capable of." Alisa smiled. She was having a hard time containing her tears as she quickly stood up from her throne and ran forward to hug her long lost parents. "I can't believe it! After all this time, it's really...!"
"Yes, Alisa. It's us." Azazel said with a smile. "It's been a long time, my daughter."
"Mom, dad, tell me. I already know about my past, but did I have other relatives I should know about?" Alisa asked as she released the hug.
"Well, you did have a little sister named Ophelia, who produced descendants of her own." Raven explained. "Including Saldana and her daughters that you've encountered before. They are certainly getting the hang on the Dragoness magic much quicker than I've expected."
"And now we're together again, we're going to have everything we've ever missed out on." Azazel added.
"Like what?" Alisa asked.
"I don't know." Raven replied. "What would you like instead? You can have anything you want."
"Revenge on Azalea." Alisa answered.
"I'm...afraid that's not possible." Raven said nervously.
"But you said I can have anything I want." Alisa said with a hard glare.
"Yes, but revenge is not ours to give." Azazel said.
"But she stole my birthright!" Alisa protested. "She took me and raised me to destroy you two and my true family!"
"Look, Alisa. A lot has changed since we've been separated, and we have each other now. You don't need this revenge." Azazel said.
"Are you telling me...no?" Alisa asked.
"Yes. We are." Raven replied.
"Then...I'm sorry." Alisa apologized.
Alisa aimed her hand at her parents and fired a powerful grayish-green energy blast at them. But Azazel held up his hand and summoned a shield of black energy for protection. But Alisa refused to quit. She waved her arms and unleashed waves of grayish-green energy that forced her mother onto the throne altar. Azazel was still coming after Alisa with his black energies ready to shoot. But Alisa waved her hand and created a series of energy spikes, pinning her father against the wall. The energy spikes came right up to Azazel's jaw, barely allowing him to breathe.
"Alisa, no, please!" Raven called out as she ran up towards her daughter. "We love you! Please, Alisa, we come back to us! Don't be the monster of fear just to claim your birthright!"
Alisa saw the fright in her mother's eyes and hesitated. As she looked down at her hands, the energy spikes retreated and Azazel fell to the floor to catch his breath.
"Sorry, mother." Alisa said. Her eyes narrowed with vengeance. "But I can't let you, father, or any one stop me from avenging my task at hand."
Alisa waved her hand and conjured a giant butterfly raising from the floor in front of her. The butterfly grew and grew until it towered over Raven and Azazel. It has grayish-green fur with black stripes, a grayish-green head with blue-gray eyes with large dark seafoam green antennas, large dark seafoam green arms, and largely sized dark grayish-green wings with black dot spots with blue-gray edges at the end.
The butterfly flapped its wings and fired multicolored beams to hit Raven and Azazel unconscious from their positions.
Meanwhile, the Lotus Ninjas, Angel, Saldana, and Azalea were eating dinner together in the dining room. But the atmosphere of the dinner was becoming increasingly tense as everyone was completely silent in an awkward manner. Ellie began to notice that her older sisters and her friend were very uncomfortable, especially Saldana and Azalea, who were staring at each other edgily while chewing their food.
"This is sweet, huh? We all should get together like this more often, huh?" Ellie smiled.
"Yeah, like the time Azalea dropped me off a building." Lee replied as she was chewing her food.
"Or the time she ambushed us at the botanical garden with the Shadow Clan." Donna pointed out.
"And the time she have stolen the Akuma Rings around the city." Ella added.
"And don't get me started when she collected the Akuma Rings for ultimate power." Angel concluded.
"Look, we're here to have a nice family dinner." Ellie sighed heavily as she crossed his arms over her chest. "Now, could you guys please suck it up and enjoy it while it last?"
"I rather lived in the afterlife with my ancestors." Saldana said with a glare as she slammed her hand onto the table.
"I can help you with that!" Azalea snapped with a glare.
"Okay!" Ellie shouted as she interrupted the incoming magic showdown between two powerful mystics. She turned her head to Azalea. "Listen, Azalea, in order for you to like humans, you need to spend some quality time with them. And I know just the place!" She held up a flyer for a clearance sale at the DestinyUSA mall. "Who wants to join me and Azalea to the mall?"
Everyone quickly looked away, but Ellie leaned next to Ella with a wide smile.
"Say what?!" Ella exclaimed with a glare. "No way! I'm not going, and that's final!"
Ellie, Ella, and Azalea arrived at the shopping center of DestinyUSA mall as they stood in front of the mall store. Ellie was wearing a white jacket with orange gems on the collar, an orange tank top, dark orange thigh-high shorts patterned with black stars, and brown boots. Ella was wearing a black denim vest over a red crop top with dark red stars, red leather leggings, and black boots. And Azalea was wearing a backless black halter top that cuts just above her navel, a midnight blue mini skirt with a black belt, and midnight blue wedge sandals.
"Ellie, are you this plan is gonna work?" Ella whispered to Ellie.
"Trust me, Ella. I know what I'm doing." Ellie whispered back with a smile. She grabbed Azalea by the arm. "Now, let's get our shopping on!"
Ellie and Ella dragged Azalea into the fashion store. Azalea was trying on various outfits that Ella and Ellie picked out for her inside the fitting room. She then showed on many outfits in front of Ellie and Ella. She puts on an one shoulder dark orange filly top with lots of ruffles and a blue star brooch near the shoulder, an orange skirt with a thin golden belt adorned with matching gold medals, and dark orange strap wedges. Then, she puts on a strapless, seafoam-green dress with pink stripes and a matching pink belt with a sparkly star-shaped buckle off to her left, and pink shoes platform heels. She finally puts on a dark red corset-style dress with dark purple lines at the hem of the skirt, matching dark purple gloves, and dark purple thigh-high boots.
Her appearance immediately attracted every male customers and employees in sight, making Azalea wink at them flirtishly. That made Ellie and Ella high-fived each other.
After that, the mystic trio began shopping endlessly around every store they set their eyes on. They went buying exquisite jewelry and exploring the indoor arcade. They even took selfies together. While the two mystics were enjoying themselves, Azalea quietly let out a warm smile as she felt herself having a good time.
Later on, Ellie, Ella, and Azalea sat in the food court as they were eating ramen noodles to satisfy their hungry stomachs.
"This ramen noodles are off the hook!" Ellie smiled in delight. "What do you think of it, Azalea?"
"It's magnificent!" Azalea smiled widely. She kept slurping more noodles in her mouth. "It slips down my throat like silk! Such delicate taste, such refined soup! It's delicious!"
"And the best is…that it's made by humans." Ella added.
"Really? Fascinating." Azalea breathed in awe. "After all my years in Hidden City, I would've never thought humans could be so creatively delightful like mystics and mutants."
"So, does that means you are willing to tolerate humans after all?" Ellie asked.
"Well, that you mention it, I..." Azalea said.
Suddenly, Ellie, Ella, and Azalea got pulled out of the food court by a mystical force that no human were enjoying themselves to be aware of it.
Ellie, Ella, and Azalea landed on their feet inside the dome just in time to look up at the person who summoned them at the first place. The sight of Alisa made Azalea put on a look of shock on her face.
"Azalea. At long last." Alisa said. "Now, I can finish you off!"
Alisa fired a grayish-green energy blast from her hands that made Ellie, Ella, and Azalea jump out of the way.
"Uh, Azalea, is that Evelina?" Ella asked Azalea.
"Not anymore. She's Alisa now." Azalea explained. "The long-lost daughter of Raven and Azazel."
"What?!" Ella cried.
"Look, it doesn't matter!" Ellie said. She turned to Ella. "Ella, let's stop her!"
Ella made the first move and darted forward with fast speed. Alisa charged forward and delivered a blast of grayish-green energy at Ella, who raised up a red energized shield in front of herself for protection. Ella then created red arrows of magical energy and fired them at Alisa, who quickly jumped in the air to dodge the magic arrows. Alisa released a lightning swing of grayish-green energy blades, which Ella immediately avoided the attack with swift backflip. With a smirk, Alisa swiftly held her hands together to gather a grayish-green energy sphere and fired a powerful energy beam that hit directly at Ella unconscious to the wall. Ellie formed an orange magical energy sphere in her hand that spread energy bullets at Alisa. But Alisa lifted her arm and redirected the incoming energy bullets, causing them to hit the walls instead. Alisa let out a wicked smile and formed a grayish-green energy sphere in her hand that made Ellie to gasp in shock and horror. Then, Alisa released her energy sphere at Ellie in the form of a destructive orb that exploded the orange mystic kunoichi upon contact.
"No!" Azalea screamed.
"Aww, Azalea. Don't tell me you're so focus on my sister's descendants that you've forgotten all about your former daughter." Alisa said with a sinister grin.
"Alisa!" Azalea exclaimed angrily.
"Isn't it ironic? All that time I was fighting after fifth great-nieces, I barely even noticed you." Alisa said tauntingly. "As it turns out, I was fighting after the wrong Dragoness!"
Alisa fired a powerful grayish-green energy blast at Azalea, who quickly dodged away from the attack. Azalea kept dodging more of Alisa's rapid energy blasts. Azalea charged a large sphere of black energy between her hands and fired it in form of a beam at Alisa and then attacked her with a black explosive energy sphere. Alisa quickly recovered and formed a grayish-green energy sphere in her hand that spread energy bullets at Azalea. But Azalea evaded the energy bullets and fired several black energy spheres continuously at Alisa from her hands. Alisa avoided the energy spheres and swiftly swatted her tail at Azalea before delivering a swift kick that hit the bionic sorceress to the wall. Azalea soared up around Alisa and extended her hand forward to create a multitude of hands composed of black energy that grabbed Alisa's arms and legs, but Alisa swung the bionic sorceress around the room and pinned her hard to the wall. Alisa blasted her grayish-green magic at Azalea again, but Azalea protected herself with a black magic barrier.
"End of the line, Azalea!" Alisa said.
"I get it! You're angry!" Azalea shouted. "But I've changed! Your sister's descendants helped me see the error of my ways! You don't have to do this! We can fix everything!"
"You can't fix what you have done!" Alisa spat.
"You're right! I can't!" Azalea said. "I can't let you do this out of revenge!"
Azalea focused her magical energy into a shape of a black decagram on her chest. She then shot it at Alisa that hit the mystic hybrid in a tremendous explosion.
Moments later, Azalea emerged from the rubble. She turned around to see emerging and stumbling around blindly from the sudden explosion.
"You bionic witch." Alisa groaned as she was struggling to stand on her feet. "Where are you?"
Then, a glowing dark indigo six-petaled flower-shaped portal opened behind Azalea that got their attention. Raven and Azazel ran out of the portal with determined faces.
"Raven! Azalea!" Azalea exclaimed with a shocking gasp.
Raven raised herself in the air and her dark indigo Dragoness mark glowed brightly on her right eye.
Then, Alisa approached Azalea from behind.
"Found you!" Alisa grinned.
Raven pointed her hand and formed a dark indigo skull-like dragon from her palm as she fired a powerful blast of dark indigo energy through the dragon to strike Alisa.
"Mother?!" Alisa gasped in shock.
"You saved me...? After all I've done to you? Why?" Azalea asked softly.
"Raven used her Eyes of Dragoness spell to view the battle when we went searching Alisa until we found her back here." Azazel answered. "We're still trying to get used to this, but you are part of the Dragoness family."
"And I know your sister Calluna is very proud of you for your change of heart." Raven added with a warm smile.
"Mother, why did you blasted me?" Alisa asked in confusion.
"You can't do this, Alisa!" Raven said boldly.
"But this...this is my revenge!" Alisa retorted. "She stole me from you!"
"So, what, you're just going to destroy her for what she did?" Azazel questioned.
"Something like that, father." Alisa answered darkly.
Alisa aimed her glowing intense hands toward Azalea.
"Stop!" Azazel said firmly.
Azazel attacked Alisa with continuous waves of black energy that made his daughter back further away from Azalea.
"You two are against me now?!" Alisa yelled angrily.
"Kuro Karasu Inferuno!" Raven casted.
Raven blasted a powerful beam of dark indigo energy that started wrapped around Alisa in the shape of an inescapable dark indigo sphere.
"Mother. Father." Alisa said tearfully.
The dark indigo energy sphere closed and trapped Alisa inside, where Raven, Azazel, and Azalea could see the mystic hybrid's silhouette through it.
"No, please!" Alisa shouted as she started pounding the sphere to break free. "Let me out!"
The sphere began engulfing Alisa in searing white-hot light. Alisa screamed at the impact from the searing light. As the white-hot light disappeared, cracks appeared around the outside of the sphere and its fragments crumbled to the floor that left only Alisa's sleeveless dress behind.
Raven started sobbing and fell to her knees just as Azazel ran and hugged his wife close to him with a tearful look on his face.
"I'm sorry, Alisa." Raven apologized.
"What did you do?" Azalea asked.
"What I had to." Raven replied sadly.
Ella and Ellie already awoken themselves out of their unconscious blackout as they helped each other walking slowly towards Azalea.
"Did we win?" Ella said. "We were blackout for a second."
"Yeah, we did." Azalea said sadly. "Thanks to Raven and Azazel. You two okay?"
"We are." Ellie said. She pointed her finger at Azazel and Raven. "But I'm not so sure about them."
Azalea turned to see Raven and Azazel were still on their knees in front of Alisa's crater as she began approaching them from behind.
"Raven, Azazel, you...you saved us." Azalea said.
"Azalea..." Raven spoke as she and Azazel turned around to face the bionic witch.
"I just want to say...I'm sorry." Azalea apologized. "Alisa was your daughter and she belongs to you. I've realized now that things haven't been right since I raised Alisa as your own child. The best thing I can do as part of the Dragoness family is return what I stole from you after all these years."
Raven and Azazel stared at Azalea's apology with surprised expression, but they nodded their heads to accept her apologetic words.
Suddenly, a child's cries was heard inside the crater.
"Uh, you guys hear the crying sound?" Ellie asked in confusion.
Raven and Azazel walked toward the source of the crying. They reached under the long sleeveless dress only to find Alisa alive in her child form. Alisa now has light purple curly hair tied into two ponytails, magenta eyes with slitted pupils, clawed fingers and toes, pale black-tipped ears, and a thin dark purple tail with a plume of light purple fur. Raven and Azazel gasped as they realized that the Dragoness spell reverted their daughter to a four year old child.
Alisa stopped crying and stared at her parents with a happy smile.
"Hello there, daughter." Raven greeted with a tearful smile.
"WHAT?!" Azalea, Ella, and Ellie exclaimed in surprise.
"Thank you." Azazel said to Azalea, Ella, and Ellie.
With that, Raven lifted her hand and opened up a glowing dark indigo six-petaled flower-shaped portal. Azazel carried Alisa in his arm as he and Raven walked through the portal. After that, Ellie instantly leaned close to Azalea with a smug smile.
"So, now you have a change of heart about living among humans?" Ellie asked.
"I'll admit you were right." Azalea admitted. "Since that I have no other choice, I suppose I might able to tolerate them for now."
"Now that Ellie got you an apartment, you're gonna need a job." Ella said. "You need a job that requires your attractive looks, your educational knowledge, and your need to be the boss all the time."
As the bell began ringing inside the high school, Azalea was writing her name on the chalkboard. Her hair is held up in an updo by a big silver pin with a black diamond at the front. She was wearing a long-sleeved midnight blue blazer with high shoulders, a matching midnight blue miniskirt, and black leather boots.
"Good morning, class." Azalea greeted.
"Good morning, miss Azalea!" The students greeted back.
Ellie and Angel watched Azalea's new occupation from their desks.
"This has bad idea written all over it." Angel said with a deadpan face.
"Come on, Angel, give her a chance." Ellie said. "She's perfect! Not only it's great cover, but she's becoming one dude magnet."
Every male student wolf-whistled with heart-shaped eyes that caught Azalea's attention.
"Hm, I can get used to this after all." Azalea grinned.
Meanwhile, Raven and Azazel arrived back at their temple home. They entered into Alisa's nursery room and looked at their sleeping daughter in Azazel's arms.
"Oh, Alisa. You're finally home." Raven said with a teary-eyed smile.
