Summary: Donna gets more than she bargained for after she enhances her sisters' intelligence.
Outside, Donna stood on the building rooftop edge and began scanning the Antiquorum building right across in front of her with her high-tech sunglasses.
"This is Purple Lotus. Everyone's in position?" Donna spoke.
"Red Lotus is in position." Ella reported as she stood on the building rooftop next to the Antiquorum from the right side.
"Orange Lotus is in position." Ellie reported as she stood on the auction house rooftop.
"Whoa, wait a minute." Lee interrupted from her ear communicator. "Why can we have cool codenames instead of using the word 'Lotus' all the time? I'm thinking Queen Bee. Or Astro Diva. No, how about...?"
"Shut up, Lee!" Donna shouted as her voice rang into Lee's eardrum. She then let out a slow sigh. "Can we please focus our mission here? We're dealing with one of the most ancient and powerful crystal in the mystic world. The Twilight Crystal."
As Donna started explaining about the crystal's capabilities, Ella took out her earphones to listen her rock music from her smartphone while Lee began sleeping in boredom.
"And according to my scan, the Twilight Crystal is right inside below you, Ellie." Donna said. "If that crystal falls into the wrong hands, our world as we know it will be catastrophic!"
"What? What did you say?" Ella asked as she took off one earpiece from her ear. "I was listening to my Xero Park playlist."
"Xero Park?" Lee asked. "Puh-lease. Lady Stardust's music are the best!"
"No, Onika Minaj's music are off the hook!" Ellie said.
"Girls!" Donna interrupted frustratingly. "If neither of you can focus on the mission, then I'm going in. As usual."
Donna pulled out one purple shambella bead from her bracelet and tossed it in the air to create a violet grappling hook gun. She fired her grappling hook towards the building rooftop and the rope dragged Donna forward into the main room just when she grabbed Ellie's arm to drag her inside.
"Well, while Ellie's helping Donna, I'll be with Ella playing my bejeweled puzzle game." Lee said to herself.
Ellie and Donna landed swiftly inside the main room as they looked forward at a bluish black octagonal star-shaped crystal with four short points inside a glass container on the pedestal.
"Hey look! There it is!" Ellie said.
Ellie began skipping nimbly towards the glass container.
"Ellie, wait!" Donna called out.
But Ellie stepped on a booby-trapped floor tile that lashed out two pairs of long steel tentacles that ensnared her and Donna to the floor.
"Red Lotus, Blue Lotus, we're in trouble! We need backup immediately!" Donna shouted to her ear communicator. She quickly noticed that Ella and Lee aren't responding as her sisters are paying attention to their phones. "Ella? Lee? We need _help!_"
Suddenly, three wall-mounted mechanical bees emerged to fly towards Ellie and Donna as they pointed their red stingers at the mystic kunoichis from their grey and yellow striped abdomen. Ellie and Donna gasped with wide eyes.
"Bees?!" Donna exclaimed with her right eye twitching. "This auction house installed my greatest fear as its security forces?!"
The mechanical bees then fired cyan energy beams straight towards the screaming Donna and Ellie.
In the Crete Fortress, the Lotus Ninjas had gathered together in the kitchen. Lee, Ella, and Ellie sat on the chairs to stare at their phones.
"Lady Stardust has won 45 awards for her music." Lee argued.
"Well, Onika Minaj's music won 115 awards." Ellie argued back.
"Are you girls kidding me right now?!" Donna yelled angrily. "It is because of you three so focus on your music playlist that we lost the mystical artifact at the hands of the auction house!"
"Uh, let's not forget about your fear of bees that didn't succeed the mission either." Lee pointed out. "So, we're even."
"No! We're not even!" Donna snapped. "It's not fair that I always have to come up with the plans while you pinheads goof around! There's times I wish I wasn't the only smart one around here!"
Donna moved her index finger in a circle and pointed her magic to levitate the red velvet brownie pie and a fork in her hand.
"Hey, that's my pie!" Lee shouted.
"WHO CARES?!" Donna screamed.
Donna took a bite out of the pie and walked away out of the kitchen.
As Donna walked inside her lab, she heard the sound of techno music coming from her phone and took it out to answer the call.
"Yo, Donatella here." Donna greeted.
"Hey, Donna. It's Donnie." Donnie said. "I normally don't ask for help, but this time I need your help."
"Funny, I was going to ask you the same thing." Donna said.
"It's my brothers." Donnie said frustratingly. "We were trying to receive the Dragon's Tooth from the Purple Dragons and of course they messed up by goofing off."
"Oh, tell me about it." Donna agreed as she rolled her eyes in frustration. "My sisters and I went on a mission to receive the Twilight Crystal, but we failed thanks to their stupid music antics. Sometimes, I wish there was a way to make them smart like us."
"And that's why I call you. I have been working on a machine that could solve both our problems." Donnie said. "You in?"
"Oh yeah. I'm down." Donna said with a sly smile. "But I've got something more stylish that may work on her sisters."
Meanwhile, Ellie was skating back and forth on the ramp as Lee was reading her fashion magazine and Ella was listening to her rock music.
Suddenly, a medium-sized bluish white portal appeared out of nowhere and Donna walked right out of the portal.
"Good news, ladies! Donnie has a huge surprise for us!" Donna announced.
Ella took off one earpiece as she and her sisters stared at Donna.
"Surprise? What surprise?" Ella asked.
"Donnie and I have created something that will make us totally unstoppable." Donna said
"Have you finally finished the bead bracelets?" Ellie asked in awe.
"Uh, no." Donna replied. She began to push her sisters into the portal. "It's even better than the bead bracelets."
The Lotus Ninjas stood right in front of a large purplish black brain-shaped machine inside Donnie's lab. Ella, Lee, and Ellie looked at the small window to see Raph, Leo, and Mikey cheering loudly inside.
"Uh, Donna, what's this?" Ella asked.
"Donnie created the Pizza Fun Box for them to try out." Donna responded.
"Pizza Fun Box! We're down!" Ella, Lee, and Ellie cheered happily.
Ella, Lee, and Ellie started running into the machine until Donna pulled them back with a large purple hand made of psychic energy from her right hand.
"Now, ladies, chill down. Before you can go in, I want to give you these." Donna said.
Donna moved her index finger in a circle and pointed her magic to summon three pairs of black screen len goggles at the palm of her hand.
"What are these?" Ella wondered.
"They looked a little stylish for my taste." Lee commented.
Donna's right hand glowed with purple energy and she forced the goggles over her sisters' eyes. In an instant, their lenses blazed with purplish light that sent them into a hypnotic state.
"Everything's going to be brilliant, four times as brilliant!" Donnie laughed as he pulled down the lever to activate his Mental Intelligence Reprogramulator. "Evil laugh!"
The Mental Intelligence Reprogramulator began to spark electricity everywhere around the lab. Donnie rubbed his hands together with an evil laugh while Donna looked at their siblings' intelligence levels increasing on the screen. After the sparking process of the Mental Intelligence Reprogramulator was complete, Donnie's brothers stepped out of the machine and landed on the ground. Donnie lifted his goggles with a gasp and stared at Leo.
"Did it work? How do you feel?" Donnie asked Leo.
"I feel..." Leo replied. He pulled up a Rubik's cube in his hand and began solving it with quick speed in a British accent. "Smarter."
"By Hawking, it worked!" Donnie cheered in amazement. "You dumb dumbs are as smart as me now!"
"Are we smart as you?" Mikey questioned as he was reading a book in his hands. "Or as intelligent as you?"
"You know, it might seem like semantics, but it is an important distinction." Raph spoke as he was writing down formulas on the board.
"This is the greatest day of my life." Donnie commented quietly. "Relishing chuckle."
"Now, it's my turn." Donna said. She moved her index finger in a circle to concentrate on her magic. "Chinō o sai puroguramu suru!"
Donna pointed her magic at the goggles that ignited the lights on them, causing her sisters' eyes to glaze over as they fell under Donna's wicked spell. Lee, Ella, and Ellie began to groan as just after the lights faded from the lens.
"So, how are you girls feel?" Donna asked her sisters.
Lee projected her blue touchscreen pad with a wave of her magic and began constructing several formulas on the screen.
"You know, with these fascinating equations, we can achieve wonderous possibilities." Lee said.
"I have successfully created a powerful spell that can increase the strength, duration, and potential of potions to its fullest potential." Ellie said as she was surrounding by glowing colorful potions around her.
"If I can fuse the combination of plutonium and nitrogen, we'll be virtually unstoppable for our oncoming battles." Ella said as she pointed her finger at two elements from the periodic table.
"OMG. My Mind Goggles have successfully worked!" Donna cheered. "Science rules!"
"Now, who is ready for a...second try?" Donnie asked.
Meanwhile, the Lotus Ninjas went back to the Antiquorum and jumped inside the main room in stealth mode just as several silver gray mechanical bipedal, rabbits emerged from the ceilings.
"Alright, ladies. Let's go get that Twilight Crystal." Donna announced. "Ellie!"
"I'm on it." Ellie said.
Ellie charged forward towards the first group of rabbit robots, who started firing red lasers at her from their eyes. Ellie created several orange blades of psychic wind that made the rabbit robots explode one by one and she then landed near the glass container on the pedestal.
"Ella!" Donna spoke.
"Ready to move." Ella said.
Ella sprang high in the air and fired several fiery curved red psychic energy beams to hit the second group of the rabbit robots all at once.
"Lee." Donna spoke.
"All set." Lee said.
Lee swung her hand in front of the last remaining rabbit robots and formed psychic water into the shape of a massive pillar to destroy them from below.
Ellie stood in front of the glass container that encased the Twilight Crystal and carefully fired a small orange laser to cut out a circular section on the glass case before grabbing the crystal and holding it up for her older sisters to see.
"It's like a dream come true." Donna said with a wide smile. "I am so proud of them."
Back in the Crete Fortress, the Lotus Ninjas put their hands together as high fives.
"Now that we are finally an awesome team, I am pleased to announce our first successful mission dance party!" Donna hollered excitedly.
Donna waved her magic around the living room to rain confetti and summoned large speakers to blast out loud hip-hop music. She and her sisters started dancing to the beat of the music in happiness.
"I wonder what marvelous advanced technology that can cooperate with the Twilight Crystal." Ella wondered.
"Well, all I know is that we can only use it once." Donna answered.
"What if we could use the crystal to power up an one-woman hover vehicle?" Lee asked.
"Or we could use fragments of the crystal to create one-of-a-kind giant mystic weapons." Ellie suggested with a wide smile. "Just in case if our magic is dampen from battle."
"Magnificent ideas." Donna said. She let out a soft yawn. "But let's get that started first thing in the morning."
With that, the Lotus Ninjas headed to their own bedrooms. As Ella, Ellie, and Lee were sleeping peacefully on their beds, the lens on their goggles began to glow purple that was slowly making their brains smarter by the second.
The next morning, Donna was skating into the air and down the ramp to land at the other side on her hover skates. She noticed Lee, Ella, and Ellie are heading their way to her lab.
"Hey girls, ready for our big Skate Hockey game?" Donna asked with a wide grin.
"No thanks, D." Ella replied. "We got a lot of work to do today."
"Oh okay." Donna said with a confuse eyebrow.
Donna took off her hover skates and walked into her lab, where her jaw dropped wide open when she saw six four-dimensional purple cubes hovering above Ellie.
"Whoa, Ellie, where did you have time to build those cubes?" Donna wondered.
"Since I used some of your spare parts to built them." Ellie answered.
"You what?!" Donna shouted in shock.
"I also reorganized your hard disk drives by rotation speed and track layout." Ellie added. "Right now, I'm rewiring your systems."
"Rewiring my systems?!" Donna exclaimed as she looked over Ellie's shoulder. "You're messing with my tech!"
"Oh please! You actually call your piece of junk tech?" Ella laughed.
"My tech is not junk!" Donna snapped. "And what exactly are you planning to do in my lab anyway?"
"Simple." Ella replied. She looked at Lee and Ellie. "Shall we?"
Ella twisted her hand into a fist and opened it in the air, Lee waved her hand back and brought it forward, and Ellie waved her hand back and forth with a grabbing shape as they pointed their magic at themselves in a puff of red, blue, and orange smoke. When the smokes cleared, their turtleneck sleeveless leotards and knee-high combat boots are now blue as Ellie was wearing a pair of black shield sunglasses over her eyes.
"Now, keep yourself amuse with your skate boots and let us do the real work." Lee said.
"What...the heck...just happen?!" Donna said slowly with a shock look on her face as she stepped out of her lab.
Later that night, Donna was laying on her bed with a sad frown. A violet bubble started landing in front of the mystic kunoichi that revealed Phantom holding a plate of fried shrimps in one hand. Since Donna rebuild her robot from their previous encounter, Phantom 2.0 has the same skin, hairstyle, and LED eyes. But her body was shaped to appear to be wearing a dark purple thigh-length strapless dress with a white tulle petticoat and a pair of violet high-heeled boots that goes up her calves.
"I can't believe it, Phantom." Donna said. "I never thought having a team full of Donnas will be more of a nightmare. But I know what I have to do."
"Attack mode?" Phantom requested.
Phantom transformed her left arm into electric whip and her right arm into one-headed mace.
"Uh, sorry, Phantom. But they haven't provoke me to insanity yet." Donna said. "It pains me to say this, but I miss them. I want my sisters back."
Ella, Ellie, and Lee walked past the kitchen until they peeked inside to see a large plate of pizza sitting on the table. They took a deep smell of the delicious scent and began walking towards the pizza in delight.
"Such savory italian dish!" Ellie said with a smile.
As Ellie reached her hand out to the pizza, it started to glitch as a hologram. Donna came out of nowhere and pulled out one purple shamballa bead from her bracelet. She then threw it forward to create a large glass globe that trapped her sisters inside.
"Oh yeah!" Donna cheered. "My bead bracelet never fails!"
"Too bad it did, Donna 1.0."
Donna turned around to see the real Lee, Ella, and Ellie with a shock gasp. She then looked back in shock to see holographic Lee, Ella, and Ellie smirking inside the glass globe.
"You three may have outhologrammed me." Donna said. She moved her index finger in a circle with purple energy. "But it's time for you to be normal again. Sai puroguramu hyōjun!"
Donna pointed her magic at the goggles that suddenly hit blue, red, and orange hexagonal pattern shields to bounce off the spell into nothingness.
"What?!" Donna gasped in shock.
"We already know you will used that spell on our precious goggles, so we combined our magic to set up a firewall spell on them." Lee explained. "You snooze, you lose."
Lee, Ella, and Ellie laughed as they walked out of the kitchen when their holographic copies disappeared from the glass globe.
Donna stared at her sisters with a sad sigh.
Donna walked back into her room and sat on her bed.
"It's hopeless. I've lost my sisters forever. We don't always see eye to eye, but we sure had a lot of fun together." Donna said sadly.
Donna looked up at the group pictures of the Lotus Ninjas lined on the shelf hanging on the wall. Every group pictures are dated from their childhood to their adolescent.
"We were crazy, but man, we had so much fun." Donna said with a warm smile.
Donna then heard the sound of techno music coming from her phone next to her and grabbed it to answer the call.
"Yo, Donatella here." Donna greeted.
"Hey, Donna. It's Donnie." Donnie said. "So, here's a particular question. Has your sisters outsmarted you in any way?
"Yeah, why?" Donna responded.
"Because I have a plan that can help both our siblings." Donnie said.
"What are you talking about?" Donna asked.
"Think about it." Donnie explained. "I used my Mental Intelligence Reprogramulator on my brothers and you used your Mind Goggles on your sisters because we wanted them to be great assets to the team by increasing their intelligence."
"Uh, what are you going with this?" Donna questioned.
"If we wanted to get our siblings back, we don't need to outsmart them. We need to outsmart ourselves." Donnie replied.
"I'm listening." Donna said with a sly smile.
Donna walked back into her lab and stood next to Ellie, who was examining the Twilight Crystal inside a glass cylinder case.
"Alright, girls. You win. You three have already prove that you're too smart to be fooled by anything. So, I'm gonna leave you three with the Twilight Crystal."
"Does this apology have any trick up to your sleeves?" Ellie questioned as she narrowed her eyes suspiciously.
"Nope." Donna replied. She was holding a glowing metallic purple sphere behind her back. "Not at all."
"Then, what's that behind you?" Ella asked as she pointed her finger at the metallic sphere behind Donna.
"Whatever you do, don't touch that. It's just a prototype for a new smoke bomb." Donna warned.
"Such remarkable design." Ella said as she was examining the metallic sphere. "But it doesn't look like a smoke bomb prototype. I think it's more of a flash bomb to blind your opponents."
"Unless it's a slime bomb that shoots sticky goo to trap targets in sight." Ellie pointed out.
That's right. The classic Donna fascination. Donna thought with a grin.
"Ah, it has to be a perfume bomb that can fire different scents with different effects. I'm taking it." Lee said.
As Lee snatched the metallic sphere from Donna's hands, she tossed it up in the air and a swarm of mechanical bee began flooding all over the living room.
"You can do this, Donna. Don't let your fear distract you." Donna muttered.
Donna pointed her finger forward and the mechanical bees started flying towards Lee, Ella, and Ellie.
"Bees?!" Lee, Ella, and Ellie exclaimed.
The swarm of mechanical bees formed together into one giant rocket, causing three mystic kunoichis to run away with panic screaming.
"Get rid of them, get rid of them!" Ella and Ellie shouted.
"Why am I so scare of bees?!" Lee exclaimed.
Lee waved her hand back and brought her magic forward to attack the rocket-shaped bees, but instead the bees split back into swarms and continued charging at Lee, Ella, and Ellie.
"It's not use! Hurry before they immobilize us with their stingers!" Ella yelled in fear.
Ella, Ellie, and Lee kept running away from the swarm of mechanical bees just as Phantom stood right in front of them.
"Sorry, girls. But you're taking things way too far!" Phantom cried out.
Phantom lashed out with a glowing violet energy lasso and grabbed three mystic kunoichis with it. Donna moved her index finger in a circle and pointed her magic to open a glowing purple club-shaped portal. Phantom then threw Ella, Lee, and Ellie into the opening portal as Donna followed them through the portal.
Back in Donnie's lab, Donnie successfully led his brothers into his Mental Intelligence Reprogramulator and quickly slammed the door shut. Donnie turned around just in time to see Donna jumping out of the glowing purple club-shaped portal in front of him.
"You got your sisters?" Donnie asked.
"Oh, I got them alright." Donna replied.
Donna held the glowing violet lasso in her hands and pulled it to drag her tied up sisters from the portal, causing it to close itself shut.
"Okay, let's get our siblings back." Donnie said with a determined look on his face.
Donnie pulled the lever to start up the Mental Intelligence Reprogramulator, but he noticed that his brothers' intelligence levels are slightly decreasing.
Donna stood in front of her sisters and began moving her index finger in a circle with blazing purple energy.
"Sai puroguramu hyōjun zen shutsuryoku!" Donna casted.
Donna pointed her magic at the goggles that continuously bounced off the blue, red, and orange hexagonal pattern shields into nothingness. That left Lee, Ella, and Ellie laughing evilly.
"Haven't you remember anything?" Ellie asked.
"We casted a firewall spell." Lee said with a smirk.
"Not even your puny spell can break it." Ella grinned.
"Ah, it's not working. They're still too smart!" Donnie shouted. "I need more power! Donna, how's it going with you?"
"Nothing! I still don't have enough power to break this firewall spell!" Donna cried. "We need the right power source to free them!"
Donnie started looking around to see the Dragon's Tooth as his only option just as Donna quickly realized what she need to power up her spell.
"Alas, what irony. I must use the supreme power of the Dragon's Tooth to return my brothers to their blissful ignorance." Donnie said.
"You and me both. I have to use the Twilight Crystal to save my sisters from becoming annoyingly techno control freaks." Donna said.
Donna snapped her fingers to summon the Twilight Crystal in her hands, causing her sisters to gasp in shock.
"You wouldn't dare!" Lee, Ella, and Ellie said with glares.
"Oh, I would dare." Donna grinned. She then closed her eyes and began to concentrate on her magic within the Twilight Crystal. "Towairaitokurisutaru, watashi ni chikara o ataete. Towairaitokurisutaru, watashi ni chikara o ataete. Towairaitokurisutaru, watashi ni chikara o ataete."
Ella, Lee, and Ellie watched shockingly as the Twilight Crystal started to glow. Donna began moving her index finger in a circle and created a purple ball of energy at the end of it when the Twilight Crystal had infused all of its energy into the purple mystic kunoichi.
"Sai puroguramu hyōjun zen shutsuryoku!" Donna casted.
Donna pointed her magic to fire a powerful purple blast of magical energy that spilt into three blasts to hit the goggles that destroyed the firewall spell and the goggles themselves all at once. Lee, Ella, and Ellie blinked as the flickering lights in the goggles went out and the goggles disintegrated into dust. Breaking from the trance, Donna's sisters looked around and found themselves tied up together in the glowing lasso.
"Whoa. What happened?" Ella asked. She, Lee, and Ellie looked around the lab. "And how did we get here?"
"It worked!" Donna smiled. "Let it rip, Donnie!"
Donnie grabbed the Dragon's Tooth and inserted it into his machine that caught four mystic kunoichis' attention when the Mental Intelligence Reprogramulator began sparking electricity everywhere around the lab.
"Come on, come on, come on!" Donnie pleaded.
After the sparking process of the Mental Intelligence Reprogramulator was complete, Donnie's brothers were back to normal once they stepped out of the machine. Raph looked down to see the drained Dragon's Tooth and picked it up to stare at it with a wonder look on his face.
"Ten bucks if I shove up this up my nose, huh?" Raph asked.
"It worked." Donnie sighed in relief. "I'll give you twenty, brother."
"Girls!" Donna shouted happily as she looked back at Lee, Ella, and Ellie.
Donna ran over to lunge forward and hugged her sisters to the floor, leaving them to look at her in surprise and confusion.
"Isn't me or is Donna hugging us?" Ella asked Lee and Ellie.
"Oh, I promise I will never control your normal intelligence again." Donna said.
"What?" Lee, Ella, and Ellie asked in shock.
"Nothing." Donna replied quickly.
