When they arrived, Mia dismounted from Sapphire in a fluent motion and ran to her fretting friend.

" It's getting worse!" She said. " They really hate you ninja."

Mia sighed. " Here's the plan. Me and Rose go in there are TRY to reason with them. No elemental powers. You guys stay hidden."

Everyone agreed. Except Nelson.

But before he could object, Mia said, " And yes, we need the peace keeper with us."

" Wahoo!" Nelson cheered, jumping up and down.

The Realm of Endless Baths shimmered before them, a swirling vortex of pink and blue hues that distorted the surrounding sky. It pulsed rhythmically, like a giant bubble about to burst. Mia grimaced, picturing endless sudsy landscapes and mountains of bath bombs.

Rose, beside her, tugged at her braid nervously. "You sure this is the right place, Mia?"

Mia nodded, forcing a smile. "Positive. Now, remember, diplomacy. No wind powers, no fiery outbursts. Just charm and negotiation."

Rose swallowed. "Charm? Me? Okay, but if things get out of hand—"

"We run," Mia finished, her voice laced with humor despite the situation. "And hopefully, Nelson can distract them with his…unique brand of cheer."

A muffled yell emerged from Mia's backpack where Blackie currently resided.

Taking a deep breath, Mia straightened her shoulders and adjusted her gi. "Alright, let's do this."

Stepping through the shimmering portal, they found themselves in a world unlike anything they'd ever seen. Lush, pastel-colored hills rolled as far as the eye could see, dotted with what appeared to be gigantic bath tubs overflowing with rainbow-colored water. Gentle waterfalls cascaded into glistening pools, and fluffy clouds drifted lazily across the bubblegum-pink sky. Even the air smelled vaguely like lavender and chamomile.

A group of figures approached, clad in pristine suits and holding clipboards.

" Hello." One of the figures said. " We are members of the administration. My name is sub agent Tessa. Identity yourselves."

" My name is Mia Elizabeth Walker. These are my friends, Rose Cunningham and Nelson Decided."

" My last name is NOT Decided!" Nelson hissed.

" Well it is now." Rose muttered.

Mia stepped forward. " We are here to speak from the ninja."

" The ninja?" Tessa snorted. " Those so called ' heros' are just monkeys in disguise!"

" Hey! We- rather, they- are NOT monkeys!" Nelson shouted, stepping forward.

" WHY do you think the ninja are monkeys?" Mia asked.

Another agent ( Ella) spoke up. " Because, they stole a dangerous artifact, stole the equipment Zane, and keep defeating us!"

" What if you try looking at it in their view?" Rose suggested.

" Why would we want to do that?" Ella asked.

" Because, what you think or see may not be what we see!" Nelson piped up.

Mia took over. " What if that so called ' dangerous ' artifact was a weapon used to save the world and end merge-quakes."

Tessa sighed heavily. " Now that I think about it, the sky-ripping treamors have ended. There hasn't been a single one since two months!"

" And what if they're defeating you so they can go save the world? I mean, the day of the Blood moon, I did hear you guys were slowing the ninja down from saving some type of spell." Rose added.
