Summary: On the Lotus Ninjas' first trip to the surface, they witness Casey Jones get cornered by the Wuju Twins and then get abducted by the Kraang. Donna convinces the others that it is their duty to rescue Jones.

In New York City, there are several huge buildings and apartments with dark, empty streets that over thirty million human beings were living, working, and walking on their own business and life. The city maybe entertaining and busy, but it also has a much darker side that involved serious crimes for the cops to react.

Above the city was a cloaking metallic grey futuristic airship with several glowing white zigzag lines flying high across the sky as it parked itself above the bright illuminating city. It was called the Crete Fortress. Inside the airship was furnished with a kitchen, living room, individual bedrooms, lab workshop, dojo, and meditation room.

In the dojo, the whole place was completely done in an ancient Japanese decor. It has a large healthy crystalline tree in the center of the bamboo floor and a bedroom located on the other side of the tree. Four teenage girls sat on the floor in their mediated position as they are prepared to start their training in their mystic training outfits: the oldest sister wore a blue skintight leotard with emerald green striped cuffs and a dark blue hood; the second oldest sister wore a red skintight leotard with dark green striped cuffs and a dark red hood; the second youngest sister wore a purple skintight leotard with brownish green striped cuffs and a dark purple hood; the youngest sister wore an orange skintight leotard with light green striped cuffs and a dark orange hood. It was the oldest sister Leona against the youngest sister Michelle and the second oldest sister Rafaela against the second youngest sister Donatella.

The girls faced each other. Lee and Ellie jumped to their feet and both summoning out their elemental powers. Ellie narrowed her eyes as she put her hands above her head, already summoning the wind around her. Lee gritted her teeth and put her hands in front of her while streams of water were surrounding her. Lee made the first move and darted forward with a yell.

"Oh, yeah!" Ellie yelled, charging towards her oldest sister and delivered a blast of wind at Lee. "Michelle is on the move!"

Lee raised up a water shield in front of herself and successfully stopped the wind blast. She then created four arrows of water and fired them at Ellie, who quickly smiled and jumped in the air to dodge the water arrows as she spun herself so fast to create a strong tornado. Lee darted forward and released a swing of water-shaped blades as quick as lightning, which Ellie immediately threw out a large ball of wind to freeze the attack. Ellie started to run around the dojo in order to confuse Lee.

"Too slow! Denied!" Ellie smiled cockily with a confidence smirk on her face as she continued to dodge Lee's water-shaped blades and held her hands engulfed with air energy as an offense shield. "How could you fight your opponent who is quick on their feet?"

Without saying a word, Lee stood still just the right time to concentrate and predict her youngest sister's strategy. If she can just hit Ellie at the very point, she'll beat her. With a smirk, the thin air created a puddle of water and engulfed itself onto Lee's legs like armor. Ellie ran forward to attack with a wind blast. At the last moment, just when Ellie was going to reach her, Lee swiftly ran up to raise her left knee into Ellie's stomach, making her youngest sister falling to the ground in pain.

"Like that?" Lee answered calmly at her downed sister.

"Good move, Lee." Ellie wheezed as she held a thumb-up.

Donna was surrounded by the green petals that looked like snakes that are ready to obey every command the purple mystic kunoichi would gave them as she stared threateningly at Ella's face. Ella, on the other hand, just watched her sister with a bored look on her and now she tilted her head from side to side to crack her neck. She hadn't powered up her flames yet, which was unusual for her.

"Alright, Donna." Ella said. "Just stand down and no one gets hurt."

"Come on!" Donna replied as she rolled her eyes. "You always say that and the next thing you know, you HURT me and my plants!"

"Yeah…well…this time I won't." Ella countered defensively with a shrug.

"Yeah right." Donna snapped.

Donna moved her hands swiftly with her palm pointing at Ella, causing her plants to suddenly grow huge and aimed for the fire mystic kunoichi. But Ella dodged easily with a smile on her face when she kept dodging each plant at her sight over and over again. In a flash, Ella gave her younger sister a sly grin and burned the plant into ashes with her palms engulfed in flames that caused Donna to gasp in shock and horror.

"Should've stand down?" Donna asked shockingly.

"Should've just stand down." Ella answered slyly.

Ella snapped her fingers. Suddenly, the floors beneath Donatella's feet became heated, making the purple mystic kunoichi jump in the place.

"Okay, okay!" Donna pleaded, jumping out of the floor and rubbed her feet. "I'm out! I'm out!"

Out of the corner of her eye, Ella saw Lee stepping forward and stepped away from Donna to face her older sister. Donna crawled away to kneel next to Ellie, who stuck her tongue out at her. Lee and Ella kneel down on one knee and faced each other for preparation. Leona and Rafaela always had a strong sense of sibling rivalry on each other, constantly pushing each other to prove who's better and stronger.

"Kōun." Lee said.

"You too." Ella retorted with a shrug.

Getting to her feet, Lee engulfed her hands in water power as Ella did the same with her fire power.

Instantly, Instantly, Lee stood on her left leg and kicked Ella rapidly with her right water-powered leg extended out with incredible speed, but Ella quickly blocked with her flaming fists and dodged the second round of water kicks before jumping behind her older sister. Lee turned around with her eyes narrowing dangerously. Ella charged forward with a yell and hit Lee in the face with the punch of her fists. On the ground, Lee shot out a strong water ball at her younger sister that made Ella crashing down to the floor. Slowly getting to his feet, Lee turned and aimed another water ball at Ella. But Ella jumped back to her feet and managed to block the attack with a fire shield as Lee sent out another water ball at Ella from behind. Lee managed to get a lock on the fire shield and swung it from Ella's hands, but Donna and Ellie didn't even flinch as the shield hit the wall behind them. As the two continued to charge and clash each other, Ella unleashed a sudden barrage of fire bolts in low and high directions to send her older sister crash to the wall, ending the match with Ella the winner.

Groaning painfully, Lee looked up to see Ella standing over her.

"I win." Ella said with a smug smile.

"Yamè!" A serene voice commanded.

Suddenly, the girls quickly turned to watch the door to their mother's room slid open. Her name is Shiroibara Saldana. She was tall, beautiful woman with long black hair and dark brown eyes. She has a white star-shaped birthmark in the navel area. She also wore a white kimono with wide, bell-shaped sleeves and her clan's symbol are printed on the front and back of her dress. Her long forgotten clan are known for their mystical martial arts. Saldana was strict but also the kindest, bravest and wisest woman known to the four young mystic kunoichis.

Leona was the oldest sister and the water mystic kunoichi. She has a curvaceous body with a tall, slender built. She has long black hair that stops past her lower back with two blue sidetails and sapphire blue eyes. She has a blue spade-shaped birthmark on her chest that can only manifest when needed. She was the most serious and disciplined mystic who acts as a balanced kunoichi of strength, speed, and intelligence. Despite being the oldest, her height ranges between Ella and Donna's height.

Rafaela was the second oldest sister and the fire mystic kunoichi. She has an athletic figure with sturdier build and broad muscles on her shoulders. She has long red hair tied into a ponytail that has a large dark red band with two dark red sidetails and emerald green eyes. She has two red heart-shaped birthmarks on her palms that can only manifest when needed. She was brawny and aggressive with a short temper and sarcastic attitude who acts as the strongest kunoichi of strength. She has a four star-shaped pierced earrings on both ears and a small dark red skull shaped scar on her right cheek. She is the third tallest and shorter than Lee and Donna.

Donatella was the second youngest sister and the earth mystic kunoichi. She has a thin body stature with an extremely slender figure. She has brown shoulder length hair with two purple sidetails and brownish red eyes. She has a purple clover-shaped birthmark on her forehead that can only manifest when needed. She was quiet and inventive genius for mechanic and technology with her quiet and shy nature that comes across as the strong silent girl who acts as the smart kunoichi of intelligence. Despite being a mystic with magical powers, she only used her magic for her inventions and science. She is the tallest of her three sisters.

Michelle was the youngest sister and the air mystic kunoichi. She has a slender figure with a slightly more pudgy body. She has blonde midback-length hair tied up in pigtails clipped down by dark orange star-shaped hair clips with two orange sidetails and baby blue eyes. She has an orange heart-shaped birthmark in her bellybutton that can only manifest when needed. She was the most immature and social mystic with a wild, tomboyish attitude. As the best cook in the kitchen, she loves to cook amazing food for her family. She is shorter than her sisters and considerably shorter than Donna.

Saldana quietly walked into the dojo. The girls moved to the middle of the dojo and knelt down in their mediated position with honor and respect.

"You all have proven your skills very well." Saldana said in a congratulate manner as she walked past her four daughters.

"But I did better than them." Ella bragged smugly.

Donna and Ellie rolled their eyes while Lee looked at Ella with a raised eyebrow.

"This is self-improvement training, Rafaela." Saldana stated as she walked behind her daughters. "It's never about winning and losing."

"I know, mother." Ella said with a nod. She crossed her arms over her chest confidently. "But they lost and I won. So, win-win for me."

Saldana held the pressure point on Ella's neck, causing her daughter to cry out in pain.

"But the most important thing is that we all did our best. Great job, everyone!" Ella said quickly.

Saldana released her daughter and Ella fell forward to the floor while breathing heavily. Saldana chuckled with a tiny smile.

Meanwhile, Saldana and her daughters sat around the kitchen table as they are eating chicken roman soup while Ellie was stirring the pot with her usual cheerful smile. For her creatively, Ellie became an excellent chief when it comes to the kitchen.

"Does every one want some more soup?" Ellie asked. "Anybody?"

"Nope." Lee said.

"Not really." Ella replied.

"All yours." Donna responded.

"Okay, because I've made a cake for all of us." Ellie smiled brightly as she pulled out a vanilla cake out of the fridge.

"Whoa." Lee, Ella, and Donna gushed as they leaned forward and stared at it in awe.

"It's amazing." Donna smiled in amazement.

"Made of vanilla." Ella said as her index finger took a little amount of frosting and licks it. "Nice."

"Delicious." Lee smiled as she took a piece of the cake.

"Well, Seijin no Hi!" Ellie said.

"Seijin no Hi!" Lee, Ella, and Donna cheered.

"Yes, the day we all became a great family for fifteen years." Saldana smiled happily. "And the day that we have trained as mystic kunoichi."

"Can you tell us a story, mother?" Ellie asked as she sat next to her mother.

"But I've told you that story many times before." Saldana replied gently.

"Please? Please?" Ellie begged, giving her mother the pleading eyes. "Pleeeeaaassseee!"

Ella quickly launched herself over the table and clapped a hand over Ellie's mouth to silence her youngest sister.

"Please." Ella said. "It's only the way to get Ellie to shut up."

"Very well." Saldana said with a nod.

As Saldana's tale begin, it all started when she was walking out of the training room at her clan until she spotted a group of strange men surrounding the man named Caesar as they battled all of them in an engage combat. After the battle was over, Saldana and Caesar became attracted to each other, falling in love at first sight.

"And that's how we became a one great family." Saldana said, holding the family picture that was kept all those years ago. "That love between me and your father gave birth to you all."

"Good memories." Ellie said, grabbing the family picture and hugged it.

"Well, mother, now that we're officially fifteen. We are finally ready to go outside the world, right?" Lee asked hopefully.

Ella, Ellie, and Donna nodded eagerly for their oldest sister's hopeful words.

"Yes." Saldana said.

"Yeah! Alright! Perfect! Yes!" Lee, Donna, Ella, and Ellie cheered happily.

"And no." Saldana added.

"Naw! No way! No fair! I hate when she does that." Lee, Donna, Ellie, and Ella grumbled sadly.

"True, you all have become very powerful, but you're still young." Saldana admitted. "You all lack the maturity to use your skills wisely. You all aren't ready to face the danger of what's out there."

"Look, mother. We know you're trying to protect us, but we can't spend out whole lives living and hiding in here." Lee explained. "We always want to meet new people, go to school, and explore the outside. But if we keep staying in this flying fortress here, how are we supposed to know what life is really like?"

Saldana closed her eyes and used her future sight to predict the positive result for her daughters if they explore the outside world. When she slowly opened her eyes, her daughters stared right in front of her and looked her with big, pleading eyes. Saldana sighed reluctantly as her decision was made.

"You girls made go…tomorrow." Saldana said with a bit hesitation. "I'll assign you to go to high school on the first day in the morning."

The Lotus Ninjas released out cheers of triumph.

"High five, y'all!" Ellie hollered sassily.

With that, the girls put their hands together as high fives.

The next day, Lee was sitting on the coach watching her favorite TV sci-fi show called Battlestar Matrix in the living room as her eyes are completely focused was on the TV screen. Despite being a trained mystic kunoichi, Lee was a huge fan of science fiction and Captain Mila was the leader of the intergalactic team and her favorite hero, hoping that someday she'll be just like her as a leader. Corporal Camille was the weapon expert, Sergeant Morgana was the head of communications in the ship, and Private Tenaya was the youngest member of the team. On TV, Sergeant Mila was commanding her teammates to carry out her orders without question.

"I still fail to see how this show is so cool." Ella said, sitting on the couch next to her older sister while looking up from her comic book.

"Battlestar Matrix is an amazing show and Captain Mila is my favorite character." Lee said determinedly. "Her leadership reminds me of our father and someday I'm gonna be a great leader like him."

"Yeah, good luck with that." Ella said with a smirk as she went back to her comic book.

Lee rolled her eyes at Ella's words and turned back to see Donna and Ellie ran into the living room. Donna and Ellie stood in front of their older sisters as they both performed rock star guitar poses.

"It's go time, ladies!" Ellie cheered excitedly.

After channeling their magic within them, the girls transformed their training outfits into their school outfits in a flashy manner: Donna wore a light grey cross back tank top under a purple cardigan sweater, black skinny jeans, and purple sneakers. Ella wore a sleeveless red tank top under a black leather biker jacket, black ripped jeans, red high-top sneakers, and two rhinestone spiked bracelets on each wrist. Lee wore a blue asymmetrical one-shoulder shirt over a long white strappy tank top, black jeans, and blue caty wedges. And Ellie wore an orange tank top under a white leather biker jacket, black skinny jeans, and orange high top sneakers.

Lee, Ella, Donna, and Ellie stood in a firm line in front of their mother, who was pacing in front of them as if her daughters are lined soldiers.

"You're ready to experience the world you might embrace." Saldana said. "But I only have two rules: don't expose your powers towards humans and stay in the shadows at all times for danger."

"Yes, mother." The girls said with a nod.

"And good luck, my daughters." Saldana sighed with a tiny smile.

With that, the girls rushed towards the center of the living room and huddled together excitedly. They held out their hands into each other's and closed their eyes while casting a teleportation spell, moving instantaneously from the Crete Fortress to Roosevelt High School.

All Saldana can do is sigh in worry for her four daughters' safety.

After the spell made the girls land on the ground in front of the school building without being spotted, Lee pushed the doors wide open and walked inside with her sisters following behind her. They all stood awestruck as they could see lockers and classroom doors everywhere in one single hallway. The school seemed to be a three floor building from the outside, but it has a brown exterior and yellow hallways with green lockers in the inside.

"It's so cool." Ellie whispered.

The Lotus Ninjas walked through the plain hallways where all students were talking and finding book through their lockers. They went to find their locker number and it turned out to their locker are close to each other. After organizing their stuff in the lockers, the girls moved ahead away from the lockers and went out to search their classes. But Lee couldn't help but feeling excited on the first time.

"This school is so amazing with the rooms or the gym." Lee said excitedly as she looked around the corner of the school. "I don't understand why mother doesn't want us to come out here."

"Whoa, even the school has so many different computers." Donna gasped as she suddenly pressed her hands against the window door to see lined desks of computers with one eye. "Those laptops are the next generation of cadmium processor with quantum encryption."

"Wow, Donna. Even you would know such a thing." Ella said sarcastically.

"They're so beautiful." Donna said excitedly, looking back at the laptops and ignoring her older sister.

"Oh my. This school has all kinds of students." Ellie said as she pointed her finger at the stereotype high school students. "The goths, the jocks, the nerds."

"Let's go, Ellie." Ella said, grabbing her younger sister by the shirt and pulling her from the group of students.

"Bikers!" Ellie wailed as her older sister was pulling her away to where the girls are regrouping.

"So, how are we gonna find out classes right here?" Donna asked Lee.

"Yo, O'Neil!"

Lee, Donna, Ella, and Ellie suddenly found a school jock talking harshly with a girl. She has red hair tied up in a ponytail with a yellow headband, blue eyes with freckles on her face, and wore a yellow and white shirt with a 5 on it with a black t-shirt under it that has black sleeves and a black choker, blue jean-shorts with leggings under them, blue and yellow socks, and black boots. They know that they aren't allowed to expose their powers, but they can't watch some big guy bothering the little girl.

"What's the matter, April?" The jock said with a grin. "You can't escape me this time until you let me copy your homework now."

"Hey!" Ella shouted as she walked up to the jock and April. "Leave her alone! She doesn't want you to bother her!"

"Says who?" The jock growled as he turned to glare at Ella.

"Says me!" Ella snapped.

Ella swiftly moved in front of the jock and flipped upside down to rapidly rotate her body, attacking him with her boots that send the jock crashing to the ground. Lee, Donna, and Ellie noticed that all of the students are watching the fight as well as spotting the teachers heading the way to the fight. They quickly grabbed each other's hands and muttered a spell under their breath that only made the fight as an illusion for them and April to see. Once the jock got up and ran to deliver a punch with his fists, Ella quickly grabbed the jock from the air by the leg to spin him rapidly and hurdled him towards the wall above the door that knocked him unconscious. Lee, Donna, and Ellie secretly released their hands that worn off the spell.

"Are you okay?" Donna asked the girl.

"Yeah, thanks to that girl." The girl replied with a smile. "I'm April O'Neil."

"I'm Shiroibara Donatella. I'm from Japan." Donna said as she pointed her thumb to her three sisters with April. "And these are my sisters: Leona, Rafaela, and Michelle."

"Do you have any idea where are we supposed to go?" Ellie asked as she stood in front of April with a bright smile.

"Your classes, of course." April replied as she read the girls' class schedules. "And since you girls are new here, only Lee and Ella have the same classes downstairs while you and Donna have the same classes upstairs like my classes. So, Donna and Ellie will follow me to their classes."

"Thanks." Lee smiled.

Donna and Ellie followed April while Lee and Ella turned the other way to find the classes.

"I have to admit. Fighting bullies are kinda fun." Ella laughed.

"But we can't draw too much attention around here." Lee said as she looked at Ella with a firm face. "Let's get to class."

After two classes later, the girls sat at the empty table near the window on the right side of the cafeteria. Each of them were staring the same food on their trays: chocolate milk, applesauce, brownie, and chicken sliders.

"How are we supposed to know if these could be rotten?" Lee asked cautiously.

"Well, they are food." Donna said as she stared longingly at her tray.

"Not like any food we've ever ate in our lives." Ella said with a shrug.

"Let's try each one." Ellie suggested.

Lee took the chocolate milk, Donna took the applesauce, Ella took the brownie, and Ellie took the chicken slider in one hand. Donna, Ella, and Ellie slowly took a bite of their food while Lee slowly took a slip of her drink. Their eyes were widened in surprise as if their brains were set to explode. They continue to eat their lunch in excitement.

"Now, this I have to admit!" Ellie smiled as she ate the brownie. "The foods here are amazing!"

"I love this school!" Ellie yelled in excitement.

Two hours later, the girls ran up on the school rooftop and grabbed each other's hands to cast a teleportation spell, moving instantaneously from Roosevelt High School to the Crete Fortress.

The full moon started to shine on the dark night. The Lotus Ninjas began running across the rooftops of the city as they are jumping on each building while doing flexible flips and cartwheels. They also are wearing their official ninja outfits: Lee wore a blue tight-fitting leotard with quarter length puff sleeves that are wrapped around the elbow with a hoodie, tight emerald green leggings, and blue knee-high, high-heeled boots. Ella wore a red tight-fitting leotard with quarter length puff sleeves that are wrapped around the elbow with a hoodie, tight kelly green leggings, and red high-heeled boots that goes just past her ankles. Donna wore a purple tight-fitting leotard with quarter length puff sleeves that are wrapped around the elbow with a hoodie, tight brownish green leggings, and purple high-heeled, shin-high boots. And Ellie wore an orange tight-fitting leotard with quarter length puff sleeves that are wrapped around the elbow with a hoodie, tight light green leggings, and orange ankle-high boots.

Then, the girls stopped on the last building and looked over the city.

"Alright, girls." Lee said. "Today has been a great day. We should head to the arcade center before heading home."

Ella, Donna, and Ellie cheered happily. But Donna stared down at the empty sidewalk and saw someone that caught her attention.

"Hey girls. Look at that." Donna said, pointing her finger down from the building.

Lee, Ella, and Ellie looked down to see that Donna was pointing at a teenage boy walking casually down the sidewalk below. He has a slender build, long black hair, and brown eyes. He wore a black shirt, blue jeans, a black and white bandana, and black fingerless gloves. Donna had her mouth wide open with her eyes popping dreamily, making her sisters believing it was love at first sight.

"He's the cutest boy I've ever seen." Donna muttered as she stared down at the boy.

"And he's the only boy you've ever seen too." Ella pointed out.

Donna was snapped out of her romantic daydream and gave Ella a sidelong glare.

"My point still stands." Donna retorted.

Suddenly, the sound of evil giggle drew the girls' attention back to the ground. They could see him being halted by female street gang twins coming out from the shadows. One twin has a svelte figure with long black hair tied in ox-horns with two long braids in each sides and violet eyes. She wore a black sleeveless qipao dress over a white long sleeved catsuit and black combat boots. The another twin has a svelte figure with long white hair tied in ox-horns with two long braids in each sides and violet eyes. She wore a white sleeveless qipao dress over a black long sleeved catsuit and white combat boots. The girls watched as the twins moved closer to attack the boy, who doesn't want to fight them because he's a gentleman and can't find a way to escape from them.

"He's in trouble! We have to help him!" Donna declared with a gasp.

Before Donna can make a move to jump off the building, Lee put her hand on Donna's shoulder to stop her.

"Remember mother told us to not expose our powers towards humans." Lee reminded, not willing to disobey her mother's rules.

"Look, we know what mother said to us, but we can't just sit here and do nothing when the boy is about to get a beat down." Ella said.

"I know, but-" Lee explained.

"Well, I'm not gonna stand here and watch." Donna said, cutting her older sister off. "I'm going in."

Donna jumped off the building with Ella and Ellie immediately following after her. Lee rolled her eyes in disappointment and followed after her younger sisters. Ella punched the white-haired twin with her fist that send her straight to the wall that knocked her unconscious. Lee ran forward to deliver a swift leg at the black-haired twin while Ellie jumped in the air and swung her legs at her face. Donna quickly spotted the boy was getting matched by the conscious white-haired girl and swiftly kicked her away from the boy. Donna ran up to the boy and they looked at each other, but the purple mystic kunoichi was surprised that the boy wasn't somewhat freaked out about the whole thing.

"Who are you, ladies?" The boy asked.

"Please don't freak out." Donna replied. "My sisters and I won't harm you. We're the good guys. I mean, girls. You have to trust me."

"I do and I like the way you fight." The boy said with a flirty smile. "You got skills."

Donna offered the boy a sweet smile and held out her hand. The boy was about to take it when the van screeched on the street next to them. The defeated street twins quietly snuck out of sight before the girls can notice their escape. Four identical men got out of the van as one of them kicked Donna that send her flying into Ellie, who was flying into Lee and Ella as the four girls got hit against the building wall.

The men observed the boy silently and immediately grabbed him into the van before the van drove away.

"They're escaping!" Donna shouted as she got up and chasing after the van. "And they got the boy!"

Lee and Ella followed after Donna in a nick of speed.

"Any idea why those guys grab the boy?" Ella shouted.

"Not a clue!" Lee shouted back.

As the three mystic kunoichis raced after the van to rescue the boy, Ellie started running after her older sisters until she was confronted by one of the strange man. Ellie lifted her arms out in front of her and fired a strong concentrated beam of wind at the man, who was hit by the attack. Elle's eyes widened wide in shock as the man didn't move one inch from her power. Ellie growled as she swung her leg to deliver a kick, but the man quickly caught her leg with one hand and threw the orange mystic kunoichi towards the wall.

Without attacking back, Ellie ran away as quick as possible and the man followed after her. As Ellie ran into the dead end alley, she turned around to see the man walking up slowly behind her. Ellie screamed as she closed her eyes tightly in fear and created a saw disc-like solid air blade to attack the man, slicing his face in the process. The man covered his face with his hands and fell to the ground as Ellie opened her eye to see pink light illuminating at her sight.

"What the heck?" Ellie muttered as she walked over to the man to get a closer look at him.

Ellie gasped fearfully when she saw the man's face being torn away that revealed a half robot face. A pink strange brain-like creature jumped out of the robot man's chest and growled at Ellie, who screamed out loud and watched the creature running away with a screech.

Ellie ran up to her sisters, who were walking down an ally after the van had escaped.

"Girls, you're never gonna believe this! That strange man I've fought had a pink, squashy brain!" Ellie shouted.

"We all have brains, Ellie." Lee said in a serious tone.

"Not all of us, that's for sure." Donna remarked.

"But it was in his chest!" Ellie screamed.

"No Ellie, not in our chests." Lee said with a sigh.

"You're not listening to me!" Ellie shouted. She quickly got freak out when Lee slapped her face out of annoyance. "Why did you slap me?"

"I was snapping you out of this crazy talk." Lee responded.

"Well, that didn't work!" Ellie snapped as she led her older sisters to the alley where she fought the robot man. "You girls have got to believe me!"

"I'm not so sure we do." Ella said as she followed her youngest sister.

"Oh, yeah? Well, you'll change your mind when you see that he's..." Ellie said, pointing her finger into the alley.

"Gone." Lee, Ella, and Donna said as they peered into the alley.

"Gone?" Ellie repeated in confusion.

Ellie looked into the alley and the robot man was nowhere to be found. She looked at her older sisters as they walked away before she slowly followed them.

Back to the Crete Fortress, the Lotus Ninjas knelt in a row in front of their mother inside the dojo and reported their mission to Saldana.

"I see." Saldana said in a calm but strict manner. "You have work together as a team, but you four let them get away with the boy. That proves that you were not fully ready for what was out there. Maybe we can try again in another year."

"What?! Mother, he doesn't have another year! But we have to save him now." Donna demanded softly. "The boy was counting on us to save him. We have to go out there."

Saldana thought for a minute and finally made her decision.

"Hmm, very well." Saldana said with a nod. "But to fight more effectively, you're going to need a leader."

"My skills are going superior every day from my training. I should be the leader." Lee said eagerly as she raised her hand.

"Why you?" Ella said as she looked at Lee. "I'm strongest and the best fighter there is. I should be the leader."

"Oh please. I'm smarter than all of you girls combine! It should be me!" Donna voiced as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"No, it should be me!" Ellie scoffed slightly.

Lee and Donna stared at Ellie their blank looks while Ella glared at Ellie an expressionless glance.

"I may not have a reason, but I know it's gonna be me." Ellie smiled.

"Well, since you all trained very well, I will predict the future on it." Saldana said, closing her eyes to concentrate on her magical powers and opened her eyes to look at her daughters. "The team leader is Leona."

Lee smiled happily while Donna and Ellie congratulated their older sister as Ella got up and walked out of the dojo with a stoic look on her face, leaving her sisters staring at her with concern.

Meanwhile, the Lotus Ninjas are sitting on top of the apartment building. Lee told them the building has the same logo as the van that kidnapped the boy and they should wait long enough on the kidnapper's arrival. Ella, Donna, and Ellie nodded their heads in agreement. After few hours passed on, the girls became bored for a quick minute until they heard something that made them looking over the building below. They saw the van drove into parking area next to the building, but the driver was a different person.

"Alright, let's go, girls." Lee ordered.

The Lotus Ninjas jumped off the building and landed slowly in front of the man as they summoned out their elemental magic engulfing in their hands.

"Alright, big boy." Ella said. "We can do things the easy way or the hard way."

"Yeah, there's four of us and one of you." Donna grinned. "So what are you gonna do about it?"

The man didn't reply and pulled out a high-tech gun as he began shooting pink lasers at the girls, who quickly dodged away from each blast.

"You have to ask, didn't ya?!" Ella yelled angrily at Donna.

The man quickly ran inside the van and drove off into the streets. The Lotus Ninjas climbed on the top of apartment building and ran across the rooftops as they chased after the van.

"He's getting away!" Donna exclaimed.

"Not this time!" Lee said.

Lee unleashed out a sharp shuriken made of water from her palm straight down to the tire, causing the man to lose control of the van and crashed to the nearby lamp pole.

"Now, we're getting somewhere." Lee smiled to herself.

The girls jumped down the street and walked toward the back of the van for investigation. Ella opened the door behind the van and a canister rolled out of it to stop itself at Ellie's feet, causing the orange mystic kunoichi to stare surprisingly at the glowing green substance inside the canister.

"No way…!" Ellie muttered in shock.

I've decided to change the chapters and the characters a bit. Since Donatello instantly developed a crush on April, my OC character Donatella instantly developed a crush on Casey. Also, Casey will join the girls on their adventures. Please Review.
