Lisa Lisa/History

A detailed chronological summary of the life of Lisa Lisa.

Phantom Blood
Elizabeth, or Lisa Lisa was born on December 1888. Elizabeth was present as a baby on the cruise ship attacked by Dio Brando at the end of Phantom Blood. Her mother was killed by a Zombie during the attack and she fell in the engine room holding Elizabeth in her arms, near Jonathan Joestar and Erina. Reminded of his own mother who died with him in her arms, Jonathan requests Erina to leave him and protect the baby. He shields them from an explosion and manages to trap Dio's head in his arms, allowing Erina and the baby to hide in the explosion-proof coffin.

Erina, Elizabeth and the unborn George II were the only living survivors of the destruction of the boat and were eventually rescued near the Canary Islands.

Post-Phantom Blood
Elizabeth was subsequently adopted by the Ripple user Straizo, and learned the art of Ripple from him until her 18th birthday. During this time, Straizo entrusted her with the Red Stone of Aja.

As a young adult, Elizabeth eventually married George II, and they had one son, Joseph. George, unfortunately, was not trained properly in the art of the Ripple, and was killed by his higher-ranking military official after discovering that he happened to be a zombie who had served Dio. Elizabeth murdered her husband's killer, split his body in two with a Ripple-infused karate chop and destroyed his body with the Ripple. However, a passing major witnessed the act. The military, unaware of such things as Zombies, thought that Elizabeth committed a simple murder and burned the commander's corpse. The army broadcasted news of Elizabeth's crime and she became a fugitive, taking the name of "Lisa Lisa" and hiding in Venice, in Air Supplena Island. The Speedwagon Foundation helped her to erase all evidence of her existence.

Afterwards, Lisa Lisa collaborated with Mario Zeppeli in order to find a way to stop the Pillar Men, but Mario was killed by a trap. Incidentally, Mario sacrificed himself for his own estranged son, Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli, who came to Lisa Lisa and underwent some Ripple training.

Battle Tendency (1938-39)
Lisa Lisa is first mentioned after the Pillar Men awaken and Joseph is defeated by Wamuu and obliged to participate in a rematch in one month. To train Joseph, Caesar thus brings him to Venice.Disguised, Lisa Lisa crosses path with Caesar and Joseph near the canals and recognizes her son. However, she fights him to test his ability. Lisa Lisa easily wins and although she is impressed by Joseph's natural level, she notes his lack of skill and forces him to wear a special Ripple-breathing Mask to force him to breathe the Ripple continuously. Lisa Lisa then brings the two men to her island and tosses them immediately at the bottom of the Hell Climb Pillar to force them to surpass themselves. Watching them without pity, Lisa Lisa sees Joseph trying to climb with a rope and cuts it. Lisa Lisa witnesses Joseph passing the trial in his own unique way and tolerates that Caesar helps him climb the last stretch of the pit. Joseph initially seeks revenge but Lisa Lisa gives him an upside down glass of water which Joseph can contain without effort. Impressed, Joseph immediately accepts her as his master. Lisa Lisa then subjects her two students to a month of hellish training with the help of her assistants Loggins and Messina.

Near the end of the month, Lisa Lisa reveals that she's in possession of the Red Stone of Aja and mentions that destroying it would make fighting the Pillar Men just that much more difficult hence why she keeps it on her person. Esidisi manages to steal the stone from her when she was taking a bubble bath and attempted to attack her while she was naked and vulnerable while possessing her maid Suzi Q but is saved with the help of Joseph and Caesar. Under a hypnosis power, Lisa Lisa manages to read Suzi Q's thought and discovers that Esidisi has sent the Red Stone of Aja to Switzerland.

In here, the Stone is intercepted by a squad of German soldiers and their mysterious commander invites the group to his chalet. That same night, Kars infiltrates the chalet and almost manages to steal the Stone. By following the exact address of Esidisi's package, the group discovers the lair of the Pillar Men: an abandoned hotel. Eager to fight, Caesar and Messina go first to the hotel, followed by Joseph and Lisa Lisa. However, Wamuu manages to kill Caesar and gravely wounds Messina. Lisa Lisa and Joseph sees that Caesar has been crushed by a rock and though she tries to keep her composure, she eventually cries for her student. Lisa Lisa and Joseph decide to head further into the hotel and are attack by a Vampire named Wired Beck. Lisa Lisa effortlessly kills the Vampire. She and Joseph finally enter a large hall where Kars and an army of a hundred Vampires wait for them. However, Lisa Lisa manages to bluff Kars by mentioning a time bomb that will explode if she does not return and negotiates a contest: two one-on-one battles for the fate of the Red Stone. Kars accepts and releases Joseph to bring the Stone. That night, the contest begins at the Skeleton Heel Stone, a large arena from ancient times. Lisa Lisa thus observes closely the deadly chariot race between Joseph and Wamuu commenting their moves. After Joseph wins, Lisa Lisa steps in. She fights Kars at the Piz Berlina Ruins, the ruins of another arena. Kars offers her several weapons but Lisa Lisa is set on using her special scarf as her sole weapon. Kars disappears in a flash of light. When he reappears to attack, Lisa Lisa seemingly defeats him with a Ripple kick to the head, but it is revealed that it was merely a double; she is stabbed in the back from the real Kars' light blades and loses consciousness. Kars takes the Red Stone and sics his Vampires on Joseph but the Speedwagon Foundation and Rudol von Stroheim's unit come to the rescue equipped with UV lights. It is eventually revealed that she is Joseph's long-lost mother, despite her youthful appearance. Joseph manages to protect Lisa Lisa but Kars manages to combine the Red Stone with a Stone Mask and uses Stroheim's UV light to activate the Mask. He becomes the Ultimate Thing.After Joseph fights and wins against Kars, he is thought to have died in a volcanic eruption. A funeral is organized and Lisa Lisa participates in it, only to see Joseph coming to them and reveal that he was alive all along.

Post-Battle Tendency
Lisa Lisa personally reveals to Joseph that she is his mother later after Joseph's "funeral". She eventually remarries a Hollywood screenwriter in 1948 when she is 60 years old. It is mentioned that Joseph talked to her about the Star Birthmark at an undisclosed period of time.

JORGE JOESTAR
Lisa Lisa is a primary ally in the light novel JORGE JOESTAR. She is originally named Elizabeth Straizo (エリザベス・ストレイツォ) but also has the nickname of Lisa Lisa since she was a child.

Background
While she was a baby on a ship headed to America in 1889, the sudden zombie invasion and death of her parents led to Lisa Lisa naturally breathing in a special way to protect herself. Erina saved the baby and escaped from the ship in Dio Brando's coffin. When Erina opened the lid while in the ocean, she found Dio's feet attached to the coffin. Dio managed to grab Lisa Lisa out of the coffin and cradled the baby by his chest, using her as a hostage. Dio offered to spare Lisa Lisa if Erina offered her blood to him. As Erina could not refuse, Dio handed back Lisa Lisa and drank a lot of blood from Erina without restraint. Dio cooked fish for Erina to keep her body healthy for blood, but Erina chewed the fish and let the baby Lisa Lisa eat it. Dio would also slip his fingers into Erina and Lisa Lisa's arms to inject water into their bodies.

After Dio realized that Erina was attempting to trap him in the bottom compartment of the coffin, Dio pushed Erina into the bottom compartment instead and took Lisa Lisa with him into the top compartment, threatening to eat her if Erina tried something stupid. Later, Erina eventually managed to get Dio into the bottom compartment. Erina and Lisa Lisa are saved by a ship and live at the. She raises both Lisa Lisa and her son George Joestar II for the next eleven years.

While in school, George was constantly bullied by Antonio Torres and his gang of friends. Lisa Lisa would severely beat them up each time but Antonio started getting used to it and continued, making fun of George even more for relying on a girl to save him.

1900-1905
One day in 1900, Antonio tries shoving dog waste into George's mouth but Lisa Lisa beats the bully up like usual. When George starts crying, Lisa Lisa is furious with George, lecturing him not to be so pathetic. She goes back home by herself and cries in her room, worried about George. Erina gives George a stern talk, letting him know that Lisa Lisa will be leaving them to go live in Italy with her adopted father Straizo, when she turns twelve. While George refuses to accept it at first, a strong speech from Erina and seeing Lisa Lisa cry for the first time convinces him to be brave. The next day, Antonio is found murdered and his friend, Julio Gonzales, accuses either George or Lisa Lisa as the culprit since they both left home early and Lisa Lisa wasn't at school yet.

Meanwhile, Tsukumojuku Kato, George's classmate, finds "Antonio" standing at the door. However, it is actually Lisa Lisa who was hiding inside the boy's skin in order to lure out the real murderer. Lisa Lisa steps out of Antonio's skin and introduces herself to the class. She describes four rules that George's classmates must follow in order to stay safe, warning them that they must be home before sundown, and need to stay there with their doors and windows shut until sunrise. Tsukumojuku then states that Lisa Lisa's plan had worked, and the sunlight-hating killer was already in the school. George notices that the hallway had turned dark and gloomy. Lisa Lisa, George, and Tsukumojuku walk down the hall and are confronted by a man who looks like Antonio, standing on the ceiling. The man's name is Alejandro Torres, and he asks if they've seen his son. Alejandro had already eaten Antonio in the morning but then heard he went to school afterwards. Lisa Lisa argues with the vampire and he decides to kill her, but is destroyed by Lisa Lisa's Indigo Blue Overdrive. As an attempt to be brave, George unexpectedly runs in front of her at that moment to Lisa Lisa's surprise, and is also knocked out by the attack.

Christmas arrives and Straizo and the other Ripple warriors go to Erina's house for dinner. Lisa Lisa and George are emotionally uninterested in the party. They talk to each other and she jokes about marrying George with both of them declaring they love each other. The next day, Lisa Lisa leaves with Straizo,, and the others, saying goodbye to George and Erina.

Throughout the years, Lisa Lisa trains with Straizo and travels with him and the other Ripple warriors to kill monsters. She stays in contact with Erina. In 1904, Erina tells Lisa Lisa that a girl named Penelope de la Rosa moved in with them. At some point, Lisa Lisa goes to England researching about Dio Brando's life. She goes to the remains of the Joestar mansion and talks to people in town, who tell her about Jonathan, Erina, and Dio. To Lisa Lisa's surprise, Dio is the most popular person in town and half of the town's citizens still believe that he is innocent. They also believe that Dio never had a girlfriend despite being popular with the ladies because he loved Erina.

After investigating reports of a Mothman sighted in the Canary Islands, Lisa Lisa heads back there with Straizo. She coincidentally finds George in the hospital with stab wounds on his stomach and worriedly asks if he's still being bullied. She doesn't believe that George would do it to himself but Penelope says that it's her fault, apologizing once more. The two women get off on bad terms after Lisa Lisa tries introducing herself, leading to George interrupting before Penelope could summon a clown and entrap Lisa Lisa. Lisa Lisa changes the subject and asks the doctor whether he's had any patients claiming to see a man like a moth. The doctor says several patients have been having nervous breakdowns and while at first he thought it was an illusion or some sort of mass hysteria, he then saw the man with black wings as well. Lisa Lisa warns the doctor not to do what the man says and to lock himself in his house that night.

The three walk back home and find Straizo and Erina inside sipping tea. Lisa Lisa tells Erina that it's time to tell George the truth about his father. Erina then describes the life of Jonathan and Dio Brando, leading to Jonathan's eventual death on their honeymoon. Straizo and Lisa Lisa wonder if there is a Stone Mask on the island because it's the second incident of something supernatural occurring. Lisa Lisa explains that she and Straizo had spoken to the fisherman that rescued Erina and the baby Lisa Lisa from the coffin years ago. It was a large coffin designed to shield the occupant from external blows and the fisherman witnessed Erina also holding something else, about the size of a human head, wrapped in a bundle of fabric made from the hem of Erina's dress. Lisa Lisa questions if Erina had actually brought Dio Brando's head to the island. Although George says Lisa Lisa is being ridiculous, Erina breaks her silence by saying it wasn't Dio's head but rather her husband's, Jonathan's.

Erina takes Lisa Lisa and the others to a secret room in the basement, showing them Jonathan's head. Despite being a baby at the time she was carried by Erina in the coffin, Lisa Lisa has memories of a fearsome man who was in the coffin with them. Erina has Straizo and Penelope go upstairs so she can tell the story of how she survived after the ship's explosion. Before Erina could begin, Lisa Lisa grows impatient and asks Erina if she saved Dio back then. Lisa Lisa suggests that Erina may have been in love with Dio. Erina emotionally scolds Lisa Lisa, saying that a little sixteen year old girl like her should never attempt to speak about matters such as love as if she could understand. She quickly calms down, realizing Lisa Lisa couldn't understand since Erina hasn't told them anything yet. Erina finally begins telling her story, describing Dio's vile personality and everything he did to Jonathan and herself as children, as well as what happened to her and Lisa Lisa in the coffin.

After the story, Lisa Lisa explains that the power Dio had sounded like a Stand, which she learned that some people have while she was training with the Ripple masters. Erina decides it's time for her and George to get off the island and move to England. They take Penelope with them when they move, and Lisa Lisa goes back to Italy with Straizo.

In 1905, Lisa Lisa and the Ripple warriors head to an underground temple in Rome where nobody had set foot in for over a thousand years, trying to retrieve the Red Stone of Aja. However, Lisa Lisa gets separated from Straizo and the others. Suddenly, George mysteriously teleports to Lisa Lisa's side, holding her hand. Lisa Lisa and George talk about George's new life in England and she hopes he isn't being bullied again. After talking about airplanes and how much fun George was having, Lisa Lisa went quiet. Suddenly, they hear a strange noise behind them like a monstrous creature moving against the ground. George realizes that Tsukumojuku brought George there because Lisa Lisa needed him, as she was afraid. George describes the creature as a, as if twenty gorillas were fused into one. George realizes that the monster was formed from Lisa Lisa's emotions and tries to calm her down. She wonders if George is actually real or if she is just imagining him as well and then kisses him, but accidentally uses the Ripple on her lips. George is shocked but is relieved that the gorilla spider had gone away.

In the darkness, Lisa Lisa feels the terrain with her Ripple and helps George walk through the temple. The two laugh at each other and kiss again. Eventually, they find a torch in a giant treasure chamber, filled with massive jewels, armor, and weapons. Lisa Lisa finds the Aja affixed to a pendant and has George put it around her neck. She tells George to promise not to tell anyone that she has it, as she has to protect the stone with her life. She hides the pendant inside her clothes and they leave. Finally, the couple exits the temple and reunite with Straizo. Straizo and the others are all shocked to see George and Lisa Lisa lies to them about being unable to find the Aja.

They all head back to the secret base of the Ripple warriors, where George calls home. Penelope answers and tells him that his new friend, Kenton Motorize, is dead. George's airplane was at the scene and Kenton had told her brother, Steven, that George invited her to the cliff beforehand. Shocked, George wonders if it was an accident. However, Erina fights back her tears to explain that Kenton was found with several stab wounds from a knife that bore the Joestar crest, and asks if George could explain what happened to the police and Steven.

George is instantly arrested when he goes back home, but Lisa Lisa secretly hides in his prison cell to keep him company. After the guard brings George back to his cell, Lisa Lisa transmits her Ripple through the ground, inhibiting the guard's thoughts. The guard ends up following his normal routine of putting George back into the cell, locking the door, and then leaving, but his mind couldn't comprehend seeing Lisa Lisa or why there was a refrigerator in the cell. George was unaffected by the Ripple because Lisa Lisa gave him socks made from Satiporoja Beetles. She brings George food, cleans the place, and teaches him things. Lisa Lisa leaves when it's night, thinking it would be improper to be alone with a boy. Six days later, George is visited by Steven. George is worried to see him but Lisa Lisa convinces him to go. After the police finish their report, George is allowed to return home and wait for the court trials. Lisa Lisa and George say their goodbyes to each other, as she has to head back to Straizo for work.

1912-1915
In France, Steven and his father, Ben Motorize, find the group of Ripple warriors while researching methods on how to revive Kenton. After talking to Steven's sister, Darlington, George contacts Lisa Lisa to inform her of Steven and Ben's plans. Lisa Lisa convinces him that the Motorize men are being watched so everything will be fine, and Steven having his own airplane design will come in handy for the upcoming war. She shows Steven and Ben a real zombie and they change their minds about reviving Kenton.

In 1915, George's plane gets damaged by a Gremlin and he has to make an emergency landing in the North Sea. While he's stranded there, Lisa Lisa soon arrives along with Steven. She leaps down from Steven's Motorizing plane, running across the water to ask if George is okay. Lisa Lisa hugs George, explaining that the Ripple master Tonpetty predicted George would crash in the morning and told her the location of where he would be stranded. Steven was the only pilot nearby who could fly her there so they rushed to find him. George suddenly becomes jealous of the thought of Lisa Lisa and Steven getting close, but Lisa Lisa reassures him with a kiss on the cheek.

The trio climb into the Motorizing and head to France. Steven flies the plane, while George sits behind him with Lisa Lisa on his lap. Although the two are embarrassed, they start talking to distract themselves. George tells them about the rumors of the gremlins and how the Motorize family's butler, Faraday, had seen one in 1905, just before Kenton was murdered. Lisa Lisa realizes that it must have followed George from the Canary Islands. They finally reach France and the Ripple masters take the trio to their secret underground lair.

Lisa Lisa realizes that Antonio's discarded skin had lived on as a zombie. Since fifteen years have passed, she calculates that there must be 16,384 (2¹⁴) clones of Antonio by now if all of them constantly cloned themselves every year. They also determine that not all of the gremlins that pilots have reported seeing were Antonio, since their descriptions didn't fully match up. Some descriptions of gremlins were short whereas others had different features. They were making up stories based on their fear and then their planes would get damaged just like they imagined, like how Lisa Lisa previously imagined the Gorilla Spider in Rome's temple. They recall how the Mothman incident was a similar occurrence of mass hysteria.

George and Lisa Lisa theorize about Antonio Torres and how he could operate in daylight by hiding inside human bodies. They worry about his capability of quickly creating zombies all over the world. Straizo asks how they can fight zombies inside fighter planes, but Lisa Lisa assures him that George will shoot all the zombies down. Just then, a Ripple warrior informs them that English zombies are attacking their base. Steven leads George and Lisa Lisa to two of his Motorizing planes. They get into one and Steven hops into the other. As they fly out of the cave, they notice at least a dozen English Air Force planes flying above them, dropping bombs onto the base. George and Steven engage in aerial warfare with the zombies, shooting them all down with their plane's machine guns. As Lisa Lisa praises George's skills, another Antonio appears, angry that George grew up into an adult before he did. Lisa Lisa suddenly declares that she and George should get married after this war, before grabbing Antonio and turning him into dust.

As they fly toward London, Lisa Lisa asks George for a quick rundown on how to fly planes. About an hour later, she gets the hang of it and pushes the flight stick to have their plane be directly in front of Steven's. She then jumps out of the cockpit and lands onto Steven's plane. She taps Steven's shoulder and uses the Ripple to extract his wings out of his back, as she thought it would be useful for him. Lisa Lisa then heads back to George's plane as the war continues. They promise each other that they'll both live and get married. George and Steven admire Lisa Lisa's fighting skills, as she jumps from plane to plane frying each zombie pilot with her powers. Lisa Lisa destroys the last zombie in the sky and jumps into George's plane, hugging him.

The Ripple warriors begin investigating England and institute a national health exam to make sure there are no zombies hiding inside citizens. Lisa Lisa travels with them and George continues fighting in the World War.

1918-1920
Tonpetty prophesies that George would die around the time he gets married with Lisa Lisa. Worried, Lisa Lisa starts distancing herself from George and they don't see each other or even contact each other in three years. In 1918 when the war concludes, George realizes that they were only together for two weeks in the last seventeen years, but it felt like they spent a lot more time together. Determined to revitalize his relationship, George heads to Switzerland after Erina tells him where Lisa Lisa currently is located.

As soon as George finds Lisa Lisa, he asks why Lisa Lisa wanted to marry him if she doesn't love him. He becomes speechless after realizing what he said sounded like an immature toddler, but Lisa Lisa just laughs and assures him of her genuine love for him. Lisa Lisa apologizes about not going to see George, revealing Tonpetty's prophecy. She starts crying but George promises that he won't die and leave her alone. After speaking with Tonpetty, the Ripple master suddenly claims that there is a god looking out for George and if George believes in this power, then he won't die. On the other hand, if he can't put his faith in it, he'll be brutally murdered by something terrifying. George realizes that he must believe in Beyond, which Tsukumojuku had told him about.

George and Lisa Lisa head back home and announce their engagement, while also planning for their wedding. George is relieved to see how happy Penelope is since she and Lisa Lisa disliked each other when they were younger. Penelope insists that if it was anyone else she would be jealous, but she's glad that George is marrying Lisa Lisa. After hearing that Lisa Lisa is pregnant, Erina, Penelope, and Speedwagon, are extremely happy. She decides not to tell Straizo just yet until things have settled down. Speedwagon starts sending them numerous baby gifts for both genders until the baby is born. They name their son Joseph Joestar and even as a baby, the boy inherited Lisa Lisa's Ripple talents. George would get shocked every time he tried holding him or changing his diaper, so Lisa Lisa gave him a scarf made of the Satiporoja beetle's thread. They set their wedding date at the end of the year so that Joseph would be big enough.

On the day of their wedding, November 11, 1920, George notices that Steven hasn't arrived yet despite being his best man. Thus, George goes to the Motorize home to investigate. After not hearing from George, Lisa Lisa and Penelope arrive at the Motorize residence and cry, assuming that George had died due to the shredded pieces of his uniform on the ground. Lisa Lisa tearfully kills Antonio and the body of William Cardinal he was possessing. Furious at George's supposed death, Penelope accidentally creates a locked room made from the 920,000 Antonios and torn up bits of them. The giant locked room surrounds the whole world, swallowing everything up.

Final Battle
fights in the skies of London, after both traveled back in time from the future through Cube House. Lisa Lisa sees a boy enjoying himself in Penelope's embrace and slaps his head, assuming that he's a pervert. Jorge Joestar introduces himself as a detective, handing over his business card. Lisa Lisa's ability to fluently speak Japanese impresses the boy. Although he decides not to tell Lisa Lisa about Kars in case it causes a time paradox, Penelope does so anyways. Penelope declares her resolve to Lisa Lisa that she will find George and bring him back. Meanwhile, Jorge is jealous that the other George has beautiful women who care for him. Noticing that the sun is setting, Lisa Lisa thinks that Dio has a strategy in mind and must be buying time for it.

flings a cape around Jorge but before it could cover him, Lisa Lisa punches Funny's cheek with the Ripple. However, the cape falls onto Jorge anyways and he is teleported to a parallel world along with Funny.

Later, the giant Antonio surrounding the country tries to save Dio. Lisa Lisa runs across Antonio's body upside down and dodges his giant punches. She places the Red Stone of Aja on Antonio's stomach and uses her technique, Sunset Orange Overdrive. Antonio shrieks from the Ripple traveling throughout his body and starts crumbling. Kars tells Lisa Lisa, Jorge, and Narancia Ghirga to stop killing the giant Antonio or they won't be able to return England back to its original timeline, so Lisa Lisa temporarily uses the opposite type of Ripple on his body to slow down the effects of her original attack.

Lisa Lisa follows Jorge and the others to Trinity Church in the second universe, where they confront Dio one last time. Erina shows herself to Dio first, fueling his anger. Next, Lisa Lisa steps out of the darkness holding Joseph in her arms. Dio roars with confusion as to why Lisa Lisa would bring her baby to a battle zone. Erina then calls for Jorge to show himself, surprising Dio even more. Jorge's plan of catching Dio off guard was working. Jorge eventually gets to the Saint's Corpse before him, which is actually Jonathan's body since Dio had previously split into nine parts during his battle with Kars. Jorge places 's head on the body and he revives thanks to Jorge's Beyond. Dissatisfied with his constant losses, Dio declares he does not want to associate with the Joestars anymore and vanishes into the darkness of the stairs behind him.

Erina and Jonathan have a tearful reunion. Erina hesitates mentioning what happened to their son, George II, and Jonathan looks confused. He had figured out that George was hiding inside a parallel world within the body of the 37th universe's Jorge. George leaps out of the parallel world, causing Jorge to fall down. They start arguing with each other so Lisa Lisa shocks them with the Ripple. She happily reunites with George and gives him a kiss, accidentally using the Ripple again. They join Erina and Jonathan in a family group hug.

Kars takes everybody back to their respective universes and timelines. However, Lisa Lisa and George stay separated because she is afraid of losing him again. The other Jorge assumes that she actually just went off on a big adventure with Joseph which she hadn't told George about. Since George is legally dead in England, he moves to America and becomes a screenwriter in Hollywood using the pen name "Motorize Jump", waiting for Lisa Lisa to come back to him.

Guatemala arc
In 1972, Lisa Lisa now works for the Speedwagon Foundation as the head of the Paranormal Phenomena Section after being a special advisor for many years. Around November 1972, she dispatches a team of investigators led by J.D. Hernández to Antigua, Guatemala, to capture a serial killer with supernatural powers. Hernández sends Lisa Lisa a report on the team's findings and she reads that Hernández predicts that the killer will strike during the biggest parade of the year in April 1973, the Semana Santa.

Lisa Lisa secretly flies off to Guatemala herself and during the festival, she disguises herself as a homeless lady. During the killer's attack, Lisa Lisa reveals herself and creates a massive electrified dome using the Ripple on leaves, flowers, and dyed sawdust from rugs. Dubbed "Thousand-Color Overdrive", the technique manages to stop all of the flies that the killer, Fabio Ubuh, was controlling via a strange ability. Fabio attempts to summon another horde of flies from his throat but Lisa Lisa redirects them using her muffler. She grabs Fabio by the throat and fills his body with the Ripple, rendering him unconscious. She confirms that Fabio's ability is not the Ripple, but something else.

Two helpers that were enlisted during Hernández's investigation, Octavio Luna Kan and Joaquín Ruiz-Jorruda, ask Lisa Lisa to employ them as official members of the SPW Foundation. Denying them at first, she gives them two tasks to complete before she can grant their request. The two succeed and Lisa Lisa hires them.

The SPW Foundation agents have discovered that Fabio's strange power is connected to a group of human traffickers. Everyone thus moves to the countryside to a small settlement where the human traffickers are rumored to be. A phenomenon later dubbed "Hopscotch" attacks the members by creating pits on the ground. Lisa Lisa escapes by using her Snake Muffler technique to make herself a spring and leap out of a pit. Lisa Lisa tells them that there's no need to retreat, since the user of the ability should be nearby. The group finds the culprit, an exhausted young girl named Izahela Mena-Mena who had obtained her ability Hopscotch after being shot with an Arrow. Her whole family was shot but she was the only survivor, and was kidnapped and enslaved afterwards. Finally, they left her behind in the village and had her hide in a water tank to serve as a security system, trapping any investigators.

In the group's briefing room, Lisa Lisa reveals that she's been investigating a strange kind of power for years, going back to an earthquake that happened in 1966 in Peru and which, she theorizes, must have unleashed a special pathogen from the ground and that someone must have turned some infected ore into Arrows. Lisa Lisa decides to capture the leader of the traffickers, a man named Alhorn, and to recover the arrows they possess.
