Summary: After Aaliyah Maxx was offered to be a kunoichi, Rafaela takes her outside for a basic weapon training, and they encounter the Shadow Mecha Ninjas, who are now enhanced with cyber armor.
Notes: Sorry, I haven't update my chapters lately. I finally graduated from FAU since May 6 and I was taking a week off from my laptop because I was mentally exhausted from school, but I will continue doing this fanfiction. Bare with me. Thanks.
In the Shadow Clan tower, Sage walked through the sliding door and approached Rozu and Sierra. Rozu sat on her throne chair while Sierra stood next to her on the left side.
"You wanted to see me?" Sage asked.
"Yes, Sage." Rozu said. "You see, these kunoichis have proven themselves to be too skilled to my ninjas. Not to mention they even destroyed your robot project and your Nanocats. I'm putting you to work together with Sierra. Find these kunoichis and learn their magic. And if all else fails, destroy them."
"Of course. As you wish." Sage said with a bow. "In fact, I have already invented something that will be perfect for this mission."
In the Crete Fortress, Ellie was cooking at the kitchen counter while Saldana, Lee, and Donna are gathered together at the dining table.
"Dinner is served, ladies!" Ellie spoke.
Ellie lifted her glowing orange hands at two steaming pots and telekinetically levitated them over to the dining table.
"Thanks, Ellie." Donna said.
"Yes, the food looks great." Saldana said.
"Chicken and dumplings, and shrimp gumbo. Our chef has done it again." Lee remarked.
Ellie gave Lee a satisfied grin.
Then, Ella entered the kitchen. She paid no attention to the dining table and headed for the counter while listening to her rock music playlist on her mp3 player.
"Hey, Ella. Dinnertime." Lee greeted.
"She can't hear you. She's listening to her rock and roll again." Donna said.
Ella opened the refrigerator and looked inside. She located a can of soda on the top shelf, grabbing it and closing the door. She opened the can and began drinking the soda as Ellie popped up behind her older sister with a full plate.
"Hey, Ella. It's dinner time." Ellie said.
Suddenly, Ella's eyes went pure red for a split second. Through her eyes, an unexpected vision came into her view. In her vision, she saw a stocky, muscular teenage mutant turtle standing in front of her. He has emerald green skin, red ninja bandana for the eyes, brown elbow and shoulder pads, and a pair of sais hanging on his brown sash-like belt. He looked straight at her with narrow eyes.
After her vision ended, Ellie took Ella's headphones off her ears.
"Get your head out of the music and fill your stomach up to my delicious cooking." Ellie said.
"Give me back my headphone, Ellie." Ella warned.
"Sorry, sis. It's not music time. It's dinner time." Ellie said with a grin.
Ella growled in annoyance.
"Hey, girls!"
The mystic family turned their attention to see Aaliyah walking inside the kitchen.
"Oh, hey, Aaliyah." Ellie greeted.
"I know it's unexpected, but I'd called Aaliyah and invited her over for dinner." Ella said. She turned to Saldana. "Is that okay, mom?"
"Of course." Saldana replied. "She's the only one besides Irma who knows our secret. As long as she's trustworthy, she's always welcome."
"You weren't kidding, Ella! Your home's way more awesome than mine." Aaliyah commented.
"Hey, Aaliyah, what's the case?" Ella asked as she noticed the black leather sheath on Aaliyah's back.
"Oh, when you told me you and your sisters are ninjas, I thought I might intertest you with this." Aaliyah explained.
Aaliyah reached the sheath from her back and grabbed a black checkered handle, pulling out a short stainless sword in one hand. The sword was detailed with a beautiful etching of a dragon on one side and the handle has silver guard and pommel.
Ella, Lee, Donna, and Ellie looked at the sword in awe.
"How did you get the tanto sword?" Lee asked curiously.
"I got this when I was ten." Aaliyah replied. "My grandpa brought it at a local store on his cruise to Japan years ago."
Saldana looked at the tanto sword with interest.
"I see." Saldana said. She stood up from her seat and walked out of the kitchen. "Aaliyah, come with me."
Aaliyah puts her tanto sword away and followed Saldana into the dojo, leaving four teenaged mystics stare at them with confusion.
Back at the Shadow Clan tower, a kunoichi walked forward and stood next to Sage as she was wearing a cyber armored qipao over her black bodysuit. This time, Mira was sitting on the armrest of her mother's chair while eating a chocolate candy bar.
"Mistress Rozu, to prevent inefficient time and effort on future missions, my latest invention will capture your little mystical pest control problem." Sage said. "I give you, the Shadow Mecha Ninja."
The Shadow Mecha Ninja bowed to Rozu, Mira, and Sierra.
"It may have taken two full days to complete, but the results are worth it." Sage explained. "The cyber armor grants the wearer enhanced strength, enhanced speed, and increased stealth capabilities. But it also has a very important function."
The Shadow Mecha Ninja pressed a dragon head symbol on the chest area, cloaking herself completely out of naked eye. She backflipped in the air and snatched chocolate candy bar right out of Mira's hand.
"Hey!" Mira pouted.
"Impressive." Sierra said.
The Shadow Mecha Ninja flipped back next to Sage, who pointed her finger to the button.
"And thanks to a special mystical artifact I've collected, I guarantee my Shadow Mecha Ninjas will satisfy your powerful clan at its peak." Sage added.
"I see. Sage, you and Sierra will send them out and capture the kunoichis." Rozu ordered. "And do not fail me…again."
Sage nodded her head with an anxious face.
Back in the Crete Fortress, Aaliyah followed Saldana in the dojo. Saldana lifted her hand out and levitated Aaliyah's tanto sword before clenching it in her hands. Saldana engulfed her magic over the weapon and then handed it over to an awestruck Aaliyah.
"Aaliyah, this tanto was worn by the samurai class of feudal Japan. Very few mystic ninjas chosen this weapon that represents their strong, fierce souls." Saldana said. "Why would you say if I teach you to be a kunoichi like my daughters?"
"Really?! Yes! Definitely yes!" Aaliyah replied excitedly. She calmed down when she realized something. "I'm honored, but unlike your daughters, I don't have any magic."
"That is why I bestowed your tanto with my magic." Saldana explained. "But I must warn you. This training will drain you mentally, physically, and spiritually. Are you confident on your decision?"
"Well, if Ella and her sisters can do it, so can I." Aaliyah said. "I'm in."
"Good." Saldana said. "But first…girls. I know you're listening out there."
Ellie, Lee, Ella, and Donna flinched as they were indeed outside of the dojo. They opened the sliding door and walked inside the dojo.
"And since you heard the news, I will allow Rafaela to get her started on wielding our guest's mystical weapon." Saldana said.
"Really? I'm down!" Ella said.
"Let's go!" Aaliyah smiled.
Ella and Aaliyah quickly ran out of the dojo.
"Mom is seriously letting the hothead train Aaliyah? Oh, this outta be good." Ellie grinned teasingly as she placed her hands on her hips.
"I heard that!" Ella shouted from the distance.
Outside, Ella and Aaliyah stood on the rooftop. Aaliyah was sitting on the ground with her eyes glued to her tanto sword while Ella sat on top of the rooftop door.
"So, before we get started, have you ever practiced any fighting techniques with that sword before?" Ella asked.
"Sadly no." Aaliyah replied. "My parents were so overprotective on me using that sword that I ended up sticking to martial arts ever since."
"Wow, bummer." Ella said.
"Tell me about that." Aaliyah agreed.
Suddenly, Aaliyah and Ella heard a sound coming from a nearby alley. They looked down to see three Shadow Ninjas alone with their readied weapons.
"Shall we?" Aaliyah grinned.
"Oh, yeah." Ella grinned back.
Ella and Aaliyah jumped down as they landed together in front of the startling Shadow Ninjas, who quickly composed themselves and stood in their fighting stances.
One Shadow Ninja drew her katana sword and charged forward, swinging his weapon to attack Aaliyah in rapid succession. But Aaliyah blocked the katana blade with her tanto sword as fast as she could. As her tanto sword illuminated in a white light, Aaliyah then swung her weapon and fired white energy in an X shape that hit the ninja to the wall. The second Shadow Ninja charged forward to swing his bo staff at Ella, but the red mystic kunoichi kept sidestepping and blocking the ninja's swinging strike. Ella delivered with a fierce back kick that sent the ninja flying into a wall and dropped into the open dumpster.
Ella and Aaliyah turned to face the last Shadow Ninja standing. The third Shadow Ninjas charged forward and proceeded to strike his nunchucks at the girls. Unfortunately, Aaliyah and Ella were too fast for his strikes and tackled the ninja into a wall with swift back kicks.
"Ha! That's easy." Aaliyah commented. "This sword rocks. But I was expecting more out of these ninjas though."
"You might get your chance because they got backup." Ella said.
Ella and Aaliyah looked up to see a Shadow Mecha Ninja standing on the edge of the rooftop. The Shadow Mecha Ninja dropped down from the rooftops and landed into her fighting stance.
"Oh, looks like they've got a plus one." Aaliyah grinned.
"Two against one? I'm not exactly a fan of an unfair fight, but I'll make it an exception." Ella remarked.
Ella and Aaliyah charged at the Shadow Mecha Ninja, who instantly turned invisible in nanoseconds.
"Huh? Where did she go?" Aaliyah asked in confusion.
The invisible kunoichi delivered a swift punch at Aaliyah, knocking her to the ground away from Ella.
"Oh, great. Just what we need. A cloaking device." Ella said with a groan.
Ella looked around narrowingly for her invisible target, but the Shadow Mecha Ninja kicked her around three times and then stomped her to the ground with her boot on Ella's back. Aaliyah stood up and aimed a white energy blast at the Shadow Mecha Ninja from her tanto sword, knocking her away from Ella and dropping her narrow shield sunglasses to the ground.
Before Ella could get up, the Shadow Mecha Ninja took a short thin black stick in her hand and electrocuted the screaming red mystic kunoichis, causing her to fall down on the ground unconsciously. The Shadow Mecha Ninja turned herself visible again and looked over to Ella.
"Target apprehended." The Shadow Mecha Ninja said, looking down at Ella with a victorious smile.
"Oh no." Aaliyah muttered to herself. "I gonna get help quick."
Aaliyah quietly ran away and quickly grabbed the narrow shield sunglasses before the Shadow Mecha Ninjas took notice.
Meanwhile, Ella groaned as she slowly woke up. She looked around to find herself being strapped to a table with a bright light shining above her inside a dark room.
"Ugh, what happened? And where the heck am I?" Ella spoke.
"Join the club, sweetheart."
Ella turned her head to the source of that unfamiliar voice. Her jade green eyes instantly connected with the mutant turtle's black eyes. She felt her heart picking up speed. Her eyes glinted with a magenta shade just as it occurred with the mutant turtle, igniting an instant magical attraction between them.
A small gasp escaped out of her mouth as she quickly realized that he is the same mutant from her vision.
A machine started poking the mutant turtle and Ella with robotic prongs.
"Hey! Watch where you're poking those things!" The mutant turtle shouted.
"I'm telling you right here, right now! When we get outta here, we're gonna…!" Ella yelled threateningly.
A large, hulking man appeared next to the mutant turtle. He has blonde hair tied back in a braided ponytail, a purple dragon tattoo on his arm, a red symbol on his other arm, three scars on the side of his cheek. He wore a black sleeveless shirt, black pants with a red belt, and dark grey shoes.
"This is some nice steel." Hun commented as he held a sai in his hands. "How about telling me who gave them to you?"
"Yo momma." Raph smirked sarcastically.
Hun struck the sais at each side of the mutant turtle's head.
"Somebody's mad." Ella grinned mockingly.
"I'm sorry. I didn't quite hear you." Hun said as he pulled out the sais off the table. He tossed them onto the table and picked up a turtle shell-shaped device in between his fingers before crushing it. "You know, I get a little clumsy when people don't answer my questions."
The mutant turtle and Ella noticed the man's dragon tattoo on his arm.
"Hey, nice tat." The mutant turtle said. "Purple Dragon or just some big ugly chicken?"
Hun grabbed the mutant turtle's head and aimed the light close to him.
"Hey, get your greasy hand off him!" Ella shouted.
"Aww, isn't that sweet, Hun? She just met this creature and she's already defending him. That's so cute."
Ella, the mutant turtle, and Hun turned their attention to Sierra, who was walking out from the shadows.
"Oh, wonderful. It's you." Ella growled.
"I watch your mouth if I were you." Sierra said.
Sierra snapped her fingers. A long shadowy snake appeared from the darkness and winded its way around Ella's arms and legs that squeezed her tightly from casting a sneaky spell.
"I'm not the one strapped onto a table." Sierra grinned sinisterly.
"Now, let's start with just exactly what kind of freak are you anyway?" Hun said, turning back to Raph.
Back in the Crete Fortress, Aaliyah rushed into the living room, where the mystic family were watching TV on the couch together.
Lee was the first one to notice Aaliyah's arrival.
"Hey, Aaliyah, how's your training?" Lee asked.
"And where is Rafaela?" Saldana asked.
"Ella's got kidnapped!" Aaliyah replied. "Some invisible ninja fought us and took her away. And before you think I'm crazy." She showed the narrow shield sunglasses in front of her friends. "I've got this to proof it."
Donna got up and examined the narrow shield sunglasses.
"Wow, cool shades." Ellie commented.
"But the visor lenses itself are made from the opal white quartz crystal. Very rare." Donna said.
"But how are that gonna find Ella?" Aaliyah asked in worry.
"Not to worry. Lee can track Ella down." Donna explained. "If anyone could find our sister's aura, it's her."
Lee nodded her head and closed her eyes. She focused on detecting her younger sister's aura around the entire city until she finally sensed Ella.
"Interesting. I've found Ella's aura. She's in some sort of lab." Lee said.
"As long as Ella's located, that's all I care about. Let's go." Aaliyah said.
Meanwhile, Hun and Sierra continued interrogating the mutant turtle and Ella. From the booth above, Sage and a male scientist watched the scene. The African-American scientist next to Sage revealed himself as Baxter Stockman.
"We've been over this again and again, freak. I'm only gonna ask you this one more time. Who do you work for? How long have you been on this planet? What is the level of your technology?" Hun demanded.
"Planet? Technology? Boy, are you barking up the wrong shell." Raph said.
Hun slapped the table with his strength, causing it to rock back and forth.
"Answer me!" Hun shouted angrily.
Ella's eyes looked down and she noticed that the mutant turtle is trying to jiggle his right hand free, but she quickly looked back at Sierra, who loomed over her.
"Now, before I get really upset, you better tell me what I need to know." Sierra said with a threatening face. "Who. Do. You. Work. For? What's your connection to the coven?"
"Okay, listen to me and listen good." Ella said. "One, I don't know what you're talking about. And two, you're sadly stupid if you ever think I'm gonna telling you anything."
"Uh, come to think of it, who do you and your witch friend work for? I mean, you look way too dumb to be in charge of all this." Raph said to Hun.
Hun grabbed a buzzsaw and held it towards the mutant turtle.
"Your choice. You can talk, or you can let your DNA do the talking for you." Hun said threateningly. "Now, is there something you want to tell me?"
The mutant turtle finally freed his right hand.
"Just this!" The mutant turtle replied.
The mutant turtle punched Hun in the stomach. Before Sierra could strike, Ella blew out a stream of fire straight at Sierra from her mouth, making the Shadow Clan kunoichi back away. The mutant turtle then grabbed a gas mask that was hanging above him and held it over Hun's mouth.
"Sweet dreams, lard butt!" The mutant turtle said.
Hun coughed as he backed away with a dazed face.
The mutant turtle grabbed the buzzsaw and cut himself free. He ran over to Ella and freed her from the table. Ella stretched her arms and legs just as the mutant turtle grabbed his sais and his broken device.
Together, Ella and the mutant turtle made their way outside, which revealed that they are actually on a boat in the middle of the ocean.
"Good thing turtles are amphibious." The mutant turtle said. He then turned to Ella. "Need a ride?"
"Nah, I got my own ride." Ella replied.
Ella created a fiery pair of dragonfly wings on her back.
The mutant turtle stared at Ella's face as if he couldn't help it to see how beautiful she is. Ella then noticed that the mutant turtle was looking wistfully at her.
"Yes?" Ella questioned.
"Oh, uh, it's nothing." The mutant turtle replied. "I'm Raphael, but I go by Raph."
"Well, nice to meet you, Raph." Ella smiled. "You can call me Ella, even though my real name is Rafaela. I hope we meet each other again soon."
"I hope so too, fire girl." Raph smiled back.
Raph jumped into the ocean water and swam away.
"I don't know why exactly, but something about that turtle is so…so..." Ella said. She then put on an affectionate smile on her face. "Irresistible."
Ella then flapped her wings and flew away in the air.
Sage and Stockman entered the room with disappointment just as Hun helped Sierra on her feet.
"You fools! We were this close to obtaining a DNA sample." Stockman scolded.
"And you two let them escape!" Sage reprimanded.
"Precisely." Hun said with a sly smile. "We let them escape. To lead us to the others. Even as we speak, a squad of Foot Tech Ninjas and Shadow Mecha Ninjas are trailing them."
"And for your sake, you better hope your invisible troops won't blow it." Sierra added.
Stockman turned around and touched his eyepatch with his hand, while Sage crossed her arms with narrow eyes.
Outside, Donna drove Sonicruiser through the road. Ellie and Aaliyah watched as Lee focused on tracking down Ella's aura with her eyes closed.
"I've got good news. I've tracked Ella's aura and she escaped from the lab." Lee informed.
"And the bad news?" Ellie asked. "There's always bad news in everything."
"The bad news is that she's being followed." Lee replied. "And I doubt she's even aware of that too."
"Okay, so we can find her before those bums find out about your flying blimp. But how do we plan to fight someone that's invisible?" Aaliyah asked.
"Already got that one covered." Donna said. "All human beings carry invisible aura that surrounds them and only Lee can make it visible, even if they have a cloaking device. And lucky for her, I developed a spell to make it work."
"And all we have to do is contact Ella, so she could lead those ninjas away and take them down." Aaliyah added.
"Already on it." Ellie said, taking out her phone and texting her older sister with rapid fingers.
"And I know just the place for our lovely guests." Donna said.
Ella kept flying in the air above the buildings while remaining unaware of the Shadow Mecha Ninjas following after her. She halted and took out her phone just in time to read Ellie's text message. Her eyes widened in surprise, but she puts on a determined smile on her face and started soaring in a different direction.
As Ella led the Shadow Mecha Ninjas to the abandoned warehouse, she quickly flew inside into the darkness. The Shadow Mecha Ninjas arrived and carefully walked forward to observe the area. Ella, Aaliyah, Ellie, Lee, and Donna hid quietly behind the storage boxes.
Lee and Donna exchanged knowing nods.
"Ōra ga akiraka ni." Lee whispered.
A large blue magical circle appeared underneath the Shadow Mecha Ninjas, alerting them in the process. The magic circle expanded a blue force field and made glowing auras visible from the human ninjas that surrounded them.
"Now!" Lee shouted.
Ella, Aaliyah, Ellie, Lee, and Donna jumped out of hiding as they started fighting with the Shadow Mecha Ninjas, who charged at them with weapons of their own.
One Shadow Mecha Ninja held a kusarigama in her hand. Lee jumped in the air to attack, but the Shadow Mecha Ninja whacked her into the wall.
"Uh, Aaliyah, you could've told us they were strong too!" Lee said with an aching groan.
"Oh, yeah! My bad!" Aaliyah shouted with a sheepish smile.
Aaliyah charged towards the second Shadow Mecha Ninja, who swung a pair of nunchakus to strike swift attacks at Aaliyah. But Aaliyah blocked the strikes with her tanto sword.
Ellie summoned her air magic and charged into battle with the third Shadow Mecha Ninja. The Shadow Mecha Ninja swung her manriki-gusari and hit the orange mystic kunoichi with a counter-weight, sending her to fly a few feet away to the ground.
The fourth Shadow Mecha Ninja clenched her katana swords and attacked Donna with rapid speed, but Donna tried to dodge the attacks as quick as she can while unable to strike with her earth magic.
Ella faced the last Shadow Mecha Ninja, who fired several shurikens at her. Ella backflipped away to keep her distance, but she's unable to use her fire magic.
"Uh, girls! I hate to be a pessimist right now, but we're not winning this fight!" Ellie shouted to her sisters and her friend as she kept blocking the counter-weight of the Shadow Mecha Ninja's manriki-gusari.
Aaliyah briefly looked at her mystic friends that are having trouble keeping their focus and distance from the other Shadow Mecha Ninjas.
But then, Aaliyah got an idea.
"Hey, Donna, new spell!" Aaliyah ordered. "Let's beat those jerks into their own game!"
Donna nodded her hand and her eyes glowed bright purple.
"Mantomōdo!" Donna casted.
Five large purple magical circles appeared underneath the Lotus Ninjas and Aaliyah. The magic circles encased them in a flower bud and rendered them completely invisible. The Shadow Mecha Ninjas became worriedly alerted as they huddle together in a circle. Before they all used their visor sunglasses, each protective eyewear was levitated in the air and tossed away.
Ellie manifested dozens of spheres made of compressed solid wind at the Shadow Mecha Ninja. Lee released a concentrated beam of water from her hands to attack the second Shadow Mecha Ninja. Aaliyah's tanto sword glowed and she swung several white energy waves at the third Shadow Mecha Ninja. Donna jumped in the air and fired multiple glowing green seeds from her hands that exploded the fourth and last Shadow Mecha Ninjas on impact.
Lastly, Ella sprang high up in the air and her hands enveloped in blazing fire. She spread her arms wide and generated a series of fireballs.
"And that's for kidnapping me!" Ella shouted.
Ella then launched fireballs at the squad of Shadow Mecha Ninjas, hitting them in a large explosion on contact.
Once the smoke cleared, the Shadow Mecha Ninjas laid unconscious on the ground.
"Oh yeah! We won, y'all!" Ellie cheered.
"You know it." Aaliyah said as she and Ellie high-fived with smiles.
Donna lifted her glowing purple hands forward, producing a long chain to wrap around the unconscious Shadow Mecha Ninjas tight and hung them up to the ceiling.
"Well, I'm glad that's over." Ella said.
"You and me both." Aaliyah agreed, placing her hand on Ella's shoulder.
"I don't know about you guys, but I'm beat." Donna said as she began walking out of the warehouse. "Let's go back and finish our dinner."
"You read my mind." Lee said as she followed Donna.
"Same." Ellie agreed as she followed her older sisters. "I'll make more dumplings when we get home."
"So, does that means that I've passed my training?" Aaliyah asked Ella.
"Oh, yeah." Ella replied with a grin. She placed her hand around Aaliyah's shoulders. "My mom is gonna have fun with you."
With that, Ella and Aaliyah exited the warehouse.
Back at the Shadow Clan tower, Sage and Sierra stood towards Rozu and Mira.
"Another mission failed." Rozu said angrily. She moved her eyes to Sage. "Not only my ninjas failed to capture those kunoichis, but your plan failed miserably!"
"But it wasn't my fault! This Hun is the one to blame. It was his plan to let the girls escape!" Sage said, pointing her finger at Sierra. "And she even agreed on it!"
"And yet, your inventions failed to satisfy my interest." Rozu said as she rose from her throne chair and levitated right in front of a horrified Sage. She turned her head to Mira. "Take her away."
Mira nodded and snapped her fingers, conjuring a large portal underneath Sage and dragging her down out of the room.
"Wait! Wait!" Sage shouted in fear. "Where are you taking me? Give me another chance! Please?!"
With that, the portal disappeared in black smoke.
"What did you learn from your mission?" Sage asked Sierra.
"It might be a shock to you, but that kunoichi I've met doesn't have a single clue on your enemies. It's possible that she and her allies don't work for them either." Sierra explained.
"I see." Sage said. "In case of my enemies does exist, those girls could be useful to me after all."
Meanwhile, a male creature stood and looked at three female mystics that are sitting on a gothic style throne chair in the middle of the circular room. The whole walls have black curved bars around dark indigo hexagons while the floors have a dark grey circular lace design.
The female mystics looked similar in appearance as they have pale white skin, long black hair tied in a braid with gold and silver ribbons weaved in, purple eyes, and wore a floor-length pastel grey dress laced with golden trims and white patterns woven into them. Except that their age makes a major difference between the mystics. The youngest mystic sitting on the left appeared as a young girl, the middle mystic sitting on the right appeared as an adult woman, and the oldest mystic sitting at the middle appeared as an elderly lady.
The male creature, on the other hand, looked like a humanoid yokai. He has dark gray skin covered in light gray markings on his shoulders, dark blue messy hair, long silver-tipped horns, and dark blue eyes. He wore a black shirt, dark indigo baggy hakama pants with dull gold markings tied by a black tasseled rope, and a silver neck cuff. He bowed in front of his masters.
"Mistress, I've received news. After all these years, our enemy is investigating our presence." The male creature reported.
"And what about the four mystic ninjas?" A young girl questioned.
"I'm not sure." The yokai creature replied. "It's very unclear if those girls are either our possible allies or our new enemies."
"Seek out and learn about them as much as you can." An elderly lady ordered. "If they prove themselves to be allies, stand down."
"But if they are proven to our new enemies or associated with our old enemy…take them down." An adult woman added.
"Understood." The yokai creature said with a nod.
The yokai creature stood up and flew away.
