Biography[]
An Italian tour guide, Luisa was seemingly enjoying a day off when her green sports car plunged into a caved-in section of coastal road. She was helped out of her totalled vehicle by James Bond Jr. and I.Q., who deduced that the collapse had been cased by a makeshift boring tank trapped under her car. Using her knowledge of the local area, Luisa theorised that they could be trying to unearth the buried ruins of ancient Pompeii. Furious at the destruction of her car, the girl joined Bond in his hunt for the culprits. Driving through the tunnels in Bond's sports car, they happened across another boring tank and were chased to a dead-end. Using tyre spikes, Bond drove up the walls and across the roof of the tunnel - but Luisa fell from the vehicle and was promptly abducted by The Worm.
He took her with him to the buried city. As Bond engaged the villains in a hijacked tank, she managed to escape by ripping off the photosensitive criminal's shades. Bond and I.Q. swerved to avoid hitting the tour guide - sending a villain-operated tank crashing into a huge column. To save her from the falling pillar, the students blocked its fall using their tank and were trapped inside. As they all worked to escape, the villains tunnelled into the city's lost treasury and looted its treasures; accidentally triggering a volcanic eruption. As the cavern flooded with lava, Bond drove his car to their location by remote-control and they managed to narrowly flee to the surface above. As I.Q. and Luisa went to warn the authorities, Bond returned to the first damaged tank and used it to flood the tunnel system with sea water - quenching the lava and driving Worm's machine above ground to be surrounded by the Italian military.
