It was a cold evening in Xyndar located somewhere in Neo-Earth as the we head towards the main base of the Grand Empire. Inside the main building, we see Grand alongside two more figures making their way towards the lobby area.
The first figure is a teenage girl has a long waist-length brown hair with one strand tied in a single braids alongside a yellow ribbon, and has brown eyes. She wears a white & blue striped blouse with black trimmings and a brown buckled-belt wrapped around her waist, blue denim shorts, brown knee-high socks and blue & white sneakers. This is Kanna Artemis, the Chikara Master of the Elemental Arrows.

He wears a black uniform with a purple collar over an orange top with a dog chain around his neck, dark-brown slacks and red & white sneakers. This is Kyouhei Doujima, the Chikara Master of The Iron Gauntlets.

"So, the raid at the Kinya's domain is a success.'' Grand pointed out.
Kanna nodded, "Indeed.'' she confirmed, "Team B managed to rescue both Mercy and Shiro, and also capturing every members of the cult.'' she explained.
"And Tadakuni is the one who managed to take down Kinya.'' Kyouhei added with a blank look.
Grand chuckled, "Haha! Now that's a surprise.'' he mused.
The trio known as Tridem then enters the lobby area and were greeted by the sight of Johnny Test crying in pain on the floor while holding his wounded jewels with Ran standing next to him with an angry expression. Dib Membrane, Bubbles, Drake Mallard, Tadakuni, Hinomaru Izumo, Zoe Orimoto, Mercy and Shiro are seen gathered around with mixed expressions on their faces.
"What happened here?'' Grand asked in confusion.
"She kicked me... in the dick...'' Johnny squeaked, "Why? Why did she kicked in the dick?'' he cried in pain.
"Because you kept treating me like a child!" Ran yelled in response, "I told you before that I'm a not a kid! I'm adult cursed into a child's body!" she exclaimed.
"I can sense some sort curse-like aura around her, so she's definitely telling the truth." Bubbles stated.
Grand then spoke, "Anyway... I'd like to commend Team B for the success in their recent mission in both rescuing our comrades and taking down the cult.'' he praised with a smile.
"Thank you, sir." Drake replied in gratitude.
"And we're also happy that Mercy and Shiro are safe." Kanna added with a smile.
Mercy rolled her eyes, "Whatever..." she muttered.
"Sorry if we made you all worry." Shiro apologized while rubbing the back of his head.
Grand then turns to Ran, "By the way... who is she?'' he asked.
Dib then spoke, "Tadakuni found her imprisoned in the cult's dungeon.'' he replied.
"She claims that she's some sort of warrior from the World of Light.'' Tadakuni added.
"World of Light? First time I've ever heard of that.'' Grand muttered in admittance before turning to Ran, "Pardon me... but I haven't gotten your name yet?'' he pointed out.
Ran sighed, "My name is Ran and I'm a warrior from the World of Light." she introduced herself in a dignified manner, "And in a quest to bring peace in my dimension.'' she revealed.
This surprises everyone, "Quest? What quest?'' Dib asked.
"Quest to convince people that she's not a kid but she really is.'' Johnny grumbled only to be silenced once again when Hinomaru knocks him out with a palm strike.
"Can you explain to us what's your quest all about?'' Kanna asked.
Ran sighed, "As I said came from the World of Light, one of the eight worlds in my dimension, and my dimension is currently in disarray after the main core of our dimension suddenly began to grow weak from mana, so the priestess from my world gave me the task to collect the eight Peace Crystals to keep the balance of power in the world." she explained.
"What are these Peace Crystals?'' Grand asked.
"Her fancy word for candies.'' Johnny chimed in as Zoe knocks him out with a single punch.
"There are eight Peace Crystals: light, water, earth, air, fire, metal, darkness and wood." Ran listed off, "The crystals are divine artifacts that are used to balance the forces of nature and once in a millennium, the eight crystals are needed to be together, so it can power up the main core of our dimension with mana to keep it going for the next millennium.'' she explained.
''Interesting.'' Dib muttered in awe, "But if your on a quest... then what were you imprisoned in that cult?'' he asked.
"On my journey to the World of Gold, I came across a group led by a man named Dr. Dolan Danger.'' Ran replied with utter hatred in her voice.
"Dolan Danger!" Drake repeated.
"You know him?'' Ran asked in surprise.
"That guy is a big time criminal!" Drake replied, "A lot of heroic organizations are after him for the countless crimes he committed!" he stated.
"So, what happened when you came across him?'' Kanna asked.
"For some reason, he caught wind about my quest and wanted to use the crystals for himself.'' Ran replied in distraught, "I could have stop him but he uses some sort of sorcery and cursed me into this form!" she explained, "And then imprisoned in that dungeon of that cult!" she finished.
"Looks like Danger is affiliated with the cult.'' Mercy concluded.
"How old are you exactly?'' Bubbles asked.
"Seventeen." Ran answered.
Johnny then got up, "More like seven.'' he pointed out, "Oooooh!" he squealed in pain when Mercy kicks him between the legs.
"Is there any way we can help get her back in her original form?'' Kyouhei asked.
Bubbles then flew towards Ran, "Hmm... I think that's not going to be easy since we don't know what kind of spell Dr. Danger used on her.'' she explained, "I'll go talk to Zeya.'' she suggested, "Maybe she knows a spell that can turn her back to normal.'' she stated.
Suddenly, the doors slams open, "Did someone say my name?'' a voice asked as everyone turns to see a teenage girl dramatically posing by the doorway with a boastful grin, "Did someone called the Grrrreat and Mesmerrrrrizing, Zeya!" she declared.
Sorceress
Zeya
Zeya has a long lavish, waist-length dark-purple with purple highlights and has purple eyes, and a mole below her mouth. She wears a white collared long-sleeved shirt with a black ribbon tie underneath a black vest, purple office skirt and black boots.
"You just had to mention her name and the showboat made an appearance.'' Mercy muttered in annoyance.
Zeya walks towards them as Bubbles spoke, "Hey, Zeya.'' she greeted, "And I did mentioned your name.'' she confirmed, "Our new friend here has been cursed by unknown spell that turns her into a little kid.'' she explained, "I was wondering if you can help.'' she said.
Zeya examines Ran from top to bottom, "Hmm..." she let's out a hum, "An aging spell is something I haven't mastered yet, so it might take a while for me to come up with one.'' she explained, "But worry not.'' she reassured, "Because I...'' she spoke while placing a hand of her chest, "... had enough magical talent and I'll able to come up with a spell that will change you back to normal.'' she claimed, "Because I am Grrrreat and Mesmerrrrrizing!" she declared.
Ran sweatdropped, "T-Thanks...'' she replied.
Kanna then spoke, "So, what are you gonna do now, Miss Ran?'' she asked, "Are you still gonna continue with your request?'' she inquired.
Ran nodded, "I must.'' she replied, "The fate of my dimension is at risk but in my current state, I lost all of my abilities and powers.'' she stated, "So, that's what I ask for your help.'' she pointed out.
Grand smiled, "Well... don't fret, Miss Ran because the Grand Empire aren't one to turn down anyone in needs of help.'' he declared, "Your dimension is in peril and with Dolan Danger going after those crystals, we're not going to let this slide!" he explained.
Ran smiled, "Thank you very much." she said in gratitude.
"But Grand? Who's going to assist Miss Ran in her quest?'' Dib asked.
Grand thought about it before smiling, "Team B!" he called getting the team's attention, "Miss Ran could use a hand in her quest.'' he said, "Up for it?'' he asked with a grin.
Dib, Bubbles, Tadakuni, Drake, Johnny, Hinomaru and Zoe looks at each other for a minute before smiling, "You can count us, Grand!" Drake declared with a raised fist.
Grand nodded, "I'll help as well from time to time but I'm pretty sure you guys got this." he said with a smile.
"But Grand.'' Shiro spoke, "We have no idea where Miss Ran's dimension is located.'' he pointed out.
Ran then spoke, "Don't worry...'' she reassured before bringing out a small stone, "This stone allows me to travel all across different worlds in dimension." she claimed, "However... I can't use it right now due to my current state.'' she confessed.
"We can ask Stewie to create a portal machine with that stone.'' Bubbles suggested.
"An excellent idea!" Kanna said in agreement, "If there's anyone who can create such machines... it's Stewie!" she declared.
Kyouhei nodded, "I agree.'' he spoke, "Plus... it's more convenient that way rather traveling from one world to another, we can also go back and forth in this world.'' he explained.
Zeya nodded, "Then I'll go tell Stewie right away.'' she said as Ran handed the stone to her before leaving the room.
Grand then turns to Ran, "In the mean time, I suggest you meet up with the other members of Team B since they'll be the assisting you in the entire duration of your quest.'' he suggested.
Ran nodded, "I agree.'' she replied in agreement.
Bzzzttt...
A minute later, we see Team B alongside Ran walking in the hallways, making their way towards a certain area.
"So, how many members in this team you have?'' Ran asked.
"There's about fifteen members in our team.'' Dib replied, "I just don't know if everyone are present at the moment.'' he admitted.
The team and Ran then enters a room where they see three figure sitting at one table, a man, a teenage-looking girl and seal-like creature to be exact.
The man is tall and muscular. He wears a silver hexagon-shaped helmet with six holes, a silver-colored collared metal, a silver-colored body armor with black trimmings, black pants underneath a brown cropped cowboy pants, silver armored boots and gauntlets. This is Golem Head.

"Hey guys!" Bubbles greeted.
Golem Head, Mahoro and Popplio turns to them, "Oh! Welcome back!" Mahoro greeted back with a smile.
"How was the mission?'' Golem Head asked.
Drake then spoke, "It went well.'' he replied, "We rescued Mercy and Shiro, and Tadakuni took down the cult's leader.'' he explained.
Popplio turns to Tadakuni, "That's amazing, Tadakuni!" she cheered.
Tadakuni rubs the back of his head, "T-Thanks.'' he replied in gratitude.
Mahoro then took notice of Ran, "By the way... who is she?'' she asked.
Ran then spoke, "Greetings.'' she greeted, "My name is Ran and I'm a warrior from the World of Light." she introduced herself in a dignified manner, "And in a quest to bring peace in my dimension.'' she revealed.
"And Grand tasked us, Team B, to help her.'' Dib spoke, "Though... we would have announce it a lot better if everyone were present.'' he admitted while taking notice that a few members of their team are absent.
Mahoro chuckled nervously, "Sorry about that.'' she apologized.
"Can you give us more details about this quest of yours?'' Golem Head asked.
Ran nodded, "Sure.'' she replied, "But it's gonna be a long story." she claimed.
Dib chuckled, "We got time.'' he mused.
