Dakota had found an old book on how to repair damaged dolls and all the turtles pitched in.
They were done buy the last day of August.
The day that Dakota discovered her powers.
Dakota was struggling to find her powers.
She had to hurry and find her powers before Myra because until someone came in third, the race to find your powers was still on.
She at first tried to see if she had the same power as her older sisters.
She accidentally made Leonah flood her room when trying to bend water and set her skirt on fire when she tried to bend fire with Rebecca.
Things were not looking good and Dakota was getting frustrated.
She was in her lab mixing different chemicals to calm herself.
"Oh science, you usually have the answer to everything. So why don't I have any powers?"
Dakota asked herself.
She groaned as the two chemicals she mixed did exactly what she expected...so she wasn't amused...
"Dakota, my daughter, does something trouble you?"
Asked Tang Shen.
Dakota sighed.
"Yeah mom I'm fine..."
"I sense that you are the exact opposite of what you claim you are."
"How do you always do that?"
"Ancient Japanese secret. But that's not important, what is wrong?"
"Well I just can't seem to find my power. It isn't water of fire or even telekinesis."
"Maybe you should look for a power that isn't what you would expect to have. Nice sun flower by the way."
After that conversation, Shen left.
Dakota thought about what her mother said.
She glanced over at the sun flower that she planted two days ago.
It was already full grown!
"That's odd...it can't be full grown in just two days..." Dakota thought.
She started walking over to the plant.
"Maybe being grown in the sewers has some kind of weird affect on it?"
She kept walking to it and stopped for a moment.
"Did it just grow!?"
She walked up to it some more. It grew some more.
"Could...could this be it?"
She grabbed the now eight-foot tall flower and it started growing rapidly.
"I FOUND IT I WIN! I FOUND MY POWERS!" Dakota shouted.
Her family came rushing into the lab.
"Donna, what's wro- WHOA! THAT FLOWER IS SUPER HUGE!"
Shouted Myra.
The flower had grown vines that tangled along the floors of the lab and the flower was now tall enough to reach the ceiling.
"What, that's all you can do? Make plants grow really big?
Hahahahahahahahahaha! That's the lamest power ever!"
Rebecca snickered as she laughed uncontrollably until her named echoed throughout the lair.
"Sorry Sensie..." Rebecca said.
Dakota let go of the flower and it stopped growing.
"No Sensie, it's alright...she's right, what use is a power if all you can do is make plants grow really big?" Dakota asked as she left the lab and went to her room without another word.
"Donna, you okay?" Asked Leonah from the other side of the door after a few minutes passed.
"Yeah...you can come in if you want." Dakota answered.
Leonah came in and saw Dakota holding a book.
But not with her hands, little vines were coming out of her wrist.
She was holding a book, a cup of tea, paper and a pencil.
"WHAO!" Shouted Leonah.
Dakota yelped at Leonah's sudden outburst. She dropped everything.
Leonah helped lift the very heavy book off her sister's chest.
"Donna, you okay?"
"Yeah I'm okay. Thanks."
"I'll clean it up."
"No, the mess can wait. Did you want to tell me something?"
"I just wanted to tell you that your powers are not useless."
"They are too."
"No they're not! I can prove it!"
"How?"
"Well...I bet if bad guys ever tried to hurt us, you could pick them up with your vines and throw them far away!"
"...Go on..."
"And I also bet that you could even tie them up or something!"
"Really?"
"Yeah, and you know what else? If we ever run out of food, you can grow us more super fast!"
"Wow sis, I never looked at it that way. You're totally right!"
Dakota smiled before hugging her big sister.
"Thanks sis." She said.
"You're welcome Donna. So you want me to help you clean this up?" Leonah asked.
"Nah, I got it covered." Dakota said as she cleaned up the whole mess in a matter of seconds.
"There's another thing your powers are good for." Leonah giggled.
Dakota laughed too as she followed her sister out of her room.
They went into the living room to see Myra coloring in her coloring book on the floor with a sad look on her face.
For Myra, a sad face was odd...
"What's wrong My?" Asked Dakota.
Myra stopped coloring and looked up at Dakota.
"It's just that after you found your powers, I realized that that means that I lost the race." Said Myra.
Leonah hugged her baby sister.
"It's okay My. Maybe you'll find your powers tomorrow." Leonah said.
The next day, Myra found her powers.
It went a little like this:
It was Tang Shen's first time serving soup for dinner.
"Mom what is this stuff?" Asked Rebecca.
"It's soba noodle soup. I used to eat it all the time when I was a human. It was my favorite. I'm sure you'll like it. But you must blow on it first." Said Shen.
The turtles nodded and blew on their soup before eating it.
Myra pulled up a wad of noodles that had alot of hot smoke coming off it.
"I'm gonna need to take a deeper breath to cool this one off." Myra thought.
She took the deepest breath she could and held it for a while.
"My? What are you-" Rebecca was cut off when Myra blew her whole bowl of soba into her face.
Myra opened her eyes and saw what happened.
"How did my food get way over there?" She asked.
"My, I think you found your powers." Said Dakota.
