Summary: Sage's creation goes on a crime spree when she creates something upon a form of magical art of magic and technology.
In the Shadow Clan tower, Sage looked through the glass window to watch her creation's training cautiously inside the training room. A feminine humanoid automaton spent the entire evening skipping nimbly while avoiding energy balls at the same time. She has the height of a ten-year-old girl with a steel complexion, long black hip-length metallic hair, and glowing red eyes. She has pure black shoulders and legs, and long and slim arms with sharp, hooked protrusions on the fingertips. She also wore a long-sleeved deep grey blouse tied with a bow on the chest over a black knee-length dress and black shoes with silver-grey soles.
"When my Nanocats stole a mystical orb called the Heart of Ravenhelm, I took the opportunity to absorb its magical energies and install that power into my latest project: Project Ivanna." Sage narrated to herself. "And to make it fully functional, I connected my computer A.I. into my greatest creation. Sure, it took five days, but it was worth it."
Sage's eyes narrowed in annoyance when she caught the automaton backflipped away from a rain of energy bolts from the column-mounted cannons.
"You can't hit me, you can't hit me!" Ivanna taunted.
"Ivanna has great potential." Sage added with a disappointing sigh. "But unfortunately, she has the mental state of an immature child."
Then, Ivanna puts her hands together and generated an intense black burst of mystical energy that filled the entire training room. When it cleared, Ivanna jumped up and down with a childlike cheer.
"Unfortunately, I can't rewrite her personality even if I wanted to." Sage murmured. "But I must move on to her first field test." She pressed a button to talk to her creation through the microphone. "Ivanna!"
"What is it, Ms. Sage? You got more toys for me to play?" Ivanna asked.
"Ivanna, I'm sending you on a field trip outside the city." Sage instructed.
"Would it be fun?" Ivanna gushed.
"Tons of fun." Sage assured. "Wanna give it a go?"
"Yes! Hundred time yes!" Ivanna beamed.
Outside, Lee, Ella, Ellie, and Aaliyah waited impatiently right in front of their empty high school. They are waiting for Donna to finish up her latest project.
"Oh, come on!" Ella complained as she crossed her arms over her chest. "Where the heck is Donna?"
"Yeah, she was supposed to be here two hours ago." Aaliyah said, placing her hands on her hips.
"Yeah, I wanted our girl's night out to start already." Ellie whined.
"Be patient, girls." Lee said calmly. "We all know how Donna is when it comes to technology. She possibly needs another hour to double check and triple check her week-long invention like she usually does."
Suddenly, the loud honk was heard out of nowhere. The girls quickly turned their heads to see a black fourth generation Chevrolet Camaro pulling up in front of them.
Donna rolled down the window from the passenger side with a cool smile, while Irma was sitting on the passenger seat with a wave. Lee, Ella, Ellie, and Aaliyah looked at the vehicle with wide, awestruck eyes.
"Hey, girls. Sorry we took so long. So, what do you think?" Donna asked.
"Are you kidding me?!" Ella exclaimed with a wide smile. "This is so cool!"
"Super cool!" Aaliyah grinned excitingly.
"But how were you able to get a car?" Lee asked with a grin.
"Remember we passed our driver's ed three weeks ago?" Donna asked.
"Yeah." Lee, Ella, and Ellie answered.
"Well, mom granted her permission for me to choose a car when we told her the news." Donna explained. "I managed to save up money from tutoring lessons in elementary and middle schools around New York and I got this Camaro, and I modified it…with style!"
"And I've got the perfect name for it too!" Ellie exclaimed excitedly. "Let's call it…Sonicruiser!"
"Now, that's a perfect name. I like it." Irma said. "Let's get our girl's night out started!"
"You don't have to tell us twice!" Ellie squealed.
Lee, Ella, Ellie, and Aaliyah hopped into the vehicle as Donna drove forward with fast speed.
Donna drove Sonicruiser through the road all the way to Manhattan Mall. She parked her vehicle at the mall's parking lot area. The girls immediately hopped out of the vehicle and started running into the mall.
"Split up and start shopping!" Lee commanded.
"You got it!" Aaliyah, Ellie, Irma, Donna, and Ella nodded.
"Hey, Ella, race you to the music department!" Aaliyah shouted.
"Oh, you're so on!" Ella shouted back.
During the night, Ivanna stood on the edge of a building rooftop and looked over the city.
"Wow." Ivanna said with a wide smile. "Very pretty. I'll make it tons of fun."
Ivanna then perceived something that caught her attention.
"Oh, that's right. Miss Sage sent me out on a field test." Ivanna said. Her sclera turned black as a scanner vision. "Now, let's find my target."
In quick seconds, Ivanna detected a series of multi-colored lights that followed the aura signature of four mystics and noticed that the aura signatures are really close from her position.
Then, Ivanna giggled with excitement.
"Yeah, I've finally found out a group to play with." Ivanna grinned.
Meanwhile, the Lotus Ninjas, Irma, and Aaliyah began shopping endlessly around every store they set their eyes on. Lee spent her time taking on and buying new designer clothes, Donna and Irma spent their time looking up home movie DVDs, Ellie spent her time searching and buying comic books, and Ella and Aaliyah spent their time listening rock and roll music.
While the girls are busy enjoying themselves, Ivanna undetectably walked inside the mall. Neither Lee, Donna, Irma, Ellie, Ella, and Aaliyah didn't notice for a second that she was spying on them at every different store they've spent their time at.
Ivanna then watched them strolling their way to the food court from the second floor.
"Looks like they're my targets today." Ivanna noted. "I hope they're fun too."
After an hour and half of shopping, the girls gathered together at the food court as they enjoyed their burgers, fries, and milkshakes meals to satisfy their stomachs.
"Oh, this was fun." Ellie said with a smile. "We totally deserve our weekend night out."
"You and me both." Irma agreed.
"I'm glad we were able to save our allowances for this weekend." Aaliyah said.
"Agreed." Ella concurred.
"So, what should we do next after this?" Donna asked. "How about a movie night?"
"I'm up for that." Lee replied.
"Wait a minute. You can't leave just yet."
Lee, Donna, Irma, Ellie, Ella, and Aaliyah turned to the source of that voice, where they spotted Ivanna innocently standing towards them.
"Uh, who are you?" Lee asked.
"Aww. She's so cute." Irma smiled.
"Forget cuteness. She's coming to my lab." Donna said with a scheming smile. "I can't wait to see what makes you tick."
"Simmer down, nerd." Ella said.
"I'm Ivanna. A cute, kick-butting machine." Ivanna introduced. "And you girls happen to be my playdates for Miss Sage's field test."
Lee, Donna, Irma, Ellie, Ella, and Aaliyah's face went into utter shock.
"WAIT A MINUTE! SAGE CREATED YOU?!" Lee, Donna, Ellie, and Ella exclaimed.
"Well, that makes total sense." Irma said. "Even though she looks harmless than her Nanocats."
"Enough talk. I challenge you four to a duel." Ivanna declared, pointing her finger at Lee, Donna, Ellie, and Ella.
"Uh, what?" Lee said in confusion.
"Scuse me?" Ella asked as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"But it's six against one. it's not even a fair match." Ellie said.
"Then, here I come!" Ivanna said.
Ivanna lifted her hands forward and transformed her fingers into missile launchers. She then fired ten missiles at the Lotus Ninjas. Ellie quickly summoned an orange force field of air energy with both hands, protecting herself, her sisters, and her friends from the missiles.
Before anyone could notice, Donna's eyes glowed in bright purple light.
"Iryūjondeizu." Donna casted.
Donna lifted her right hand up in the air and radiated a purple energy wave, creating a powerful illusion to hide herself and the others from everyone, so that only the humans can't see the battle.
Ellie dropped the force field as she and her sisters glared at Ivanna, who was letting out a giggly laugh.
"Okay, that's it. This robot needs a beating." Ella said.
Ella dashed forward and released a stream of fire from both hands. Ivanna avoided the attack with remarkable speed, making Ella's eyes widen in surprising shock. Even Lee, Donna, Irma, Ellie, and Aaliyah became shocked too. Ivanna leaped high above the red mystic kunoichi and fired a powerful laser beam from her eyes that sent Ella flying to the wall.
"Ella!" Ellie shouted.
Ellie summoned a large tornado and directed it straight to Ivanna. But Ivanna avoided the attack by slicing the tornado in half with sharp fingers with remarkable agility. Ivanna then dashed forward and attacked Ellie that sent her flying to a nearby table.
"Ellie!" Donna yelled.
Donna summoned her earth magic from her hands and slammed both hands onto the ground, summoning a hail of boulders to rise up at Ivanna. But Ivanna managed to protect herself with a force field. Once she dropped the force field, Ivanna punched the ground with both hands and electrocuted Donna when an electrical current traveled down her arms that sent the purple mystic kunoichi flying to the floor past Irma and Aaliyah.
"Donna!" Lee cried. She looked back at Ivanna with a glare. "Okay, let's end this now!"
Lee summoned water out of thin air and solidified it into countless sharp, thick spears before aiming all of them at Ivanna with rapid speed. Ivanna dodged out of the way with remarkable speed in a ballet's style. She then extended her arms and rapidly released many energy bolts from her fingers towards Lee at once, sending the blue mystic kunoichi to fly onto a nearby table next to Ellie.
Ivanna looked at the defeated Lotus Ninjas with a victorious smile on her face.
"Huh? Finish already?" Ivanna said with a childish pout. She shrugged her shoulders carelessly. "Oh well. It was fun while it lasted. I started my field test and now it's game over."
Ella quietly regained consciousness and looked up to glare at Ivanna. She released a blast of fire from her mouth and fired it at Ivanna's back. Ivanna screamed in pain, catching Irma and Aaliyah's attention just as Lee, Donna, and Ellie have regained consciousnesses.
"Stop it!" Ivanna screamed. "That hurts!"
Then, Ivanna escaped from Ella's fire blast and out of the mall.
"Okay...what just happened?!" Ellie asked.
Ella walked up to help Lee, Donna, and Ellie on their feet. Donna then caught a piece of metal on the ground and levitated it to her hand.
"Maybe this should give us some answers." Donna said.
In the Crete Fortress, Donna was examining the piece of metal inside her lab. Lee, Ella, Ellie, Irma, and Aaliyah gathered together behind Donna, who backed up from the table.
"What did you find, Donna?" Ellie asked.
"Hold on." Donna replied. She lifted her glowing hands in front of the microscope. "Len purojekushon."
As purple energy surrounded the microscope, its objective lens projected a large image of magical circuit-like lines surging around the study metal.
"Uh, what are we looking at?" Ellie asked, placing her hands on her hips.
"Metallurgy." Donna answered. "That robot Ivanna did mention that Sage is the one who created her. This metal is none other than titanium. One of the strongest metals on the planet. No doubt Sage must have used it to make her."
"That still doesn't explain about her mass weapons." Ella pointed out. "Just because she's a kid robot doesn't mean she's dangerous."
"That's when I've learned that these circuits are powered by mystical energy." Donna said. "I haven't exactly found out the power source yet, but Ivanna does have a unique power signature."
"So, how can we trace her?" Aaliyah asked.
"With Lee's aura sense." Donna answered as she gestured her hand to Lee. "Since Ivanna is powered with magic, Lee can find her easily."
"And what exactly are we gonna do once we find her?" Ellie asked.
"It pains to me that I say this, but we have no choice but to destroy her." Donna replied. She pointed her thumb at Ella. "Thanks to Ella, we've learned that Ivanna is vulnerable to extreme heat."
Ella walked over to the microscope. She lit up her index finger with fire and fired it at the titanium metal, causing it to melt into a liquid puddle.
"Heh, that'll do." Ella said.
"Lee, do your thing."
Lee nodded her head. She levitated in mid-air and crisscrossed her legs in a meditative position. She took a deep breath and focused on perceiving Ivanna's aura throughout the city. In quick seconds, Lee detected the mystical robot's aura and opened her eyes in alert.
"I've found her." Lee said. "Let's go."
At the central park, Ivanna sat on a bench alone after she fully healed herself.
"Man, that hurt back there." Ivanna whined. "This field test was supposed to be easy, but that fire witch burned me. Miss Sage is gonna be mad at me for this."
Ivanna heard a noise and looked around until she saw the Sonicruiser driving in her direction. Once the Sonicruiser stopped few inches towards Ivanna, Irma and Aaliyah hopped out of the vehicle.
"Oh, it's just you humans." Ivanna blinked. "Heh, that's okay. I'll take care of you two myself."
"We don't think so." Irma and Aaliyah said.
Irma and Aaliyah tossed out several marble balls from their hands, sending them straight at Ivanna and releasing a large sticky substance to obstruct the mystical robot.
"Eww! What is this goo?" Ivanna cried.
"Now's your cue!" Aaliyah shouted.
Lee, Ella, Donna, and Ellie sprang out of the Sonicruiser.
"Huh? But I've defeated you girls!" Ivanna exclaimed.
"And we're ready for round two, tin brat!" Ella grinned.
Ivanna looked irritated. She unleashed electrical currents all around her, melting the sticky goo off of her. She then transformed her fingers into missile launchers and released rapid missiles at the Lotus Ninjas, causing the mystic kunoichis to scatter away.
Ivanna kept firing more and more missiles in a frantic manner. Irma and Aaliyah quickly took off running with the swarm of missiles flying everywhere until they safely dove back into the Sonicruiser. Lee, Ella, Donna, and Ellie kept dodging the incoming missiles that was flying at them from different directions.
Then, Ivanna fired a powerful laser beam at the Lotus Ninjas from her eyes. Donna and Ella backflipped into the bushes while Lee and Ellie moved out of the way. Lee rapidly released concentrated beams of water from her hands while Ellie delivered two high speed tornadoes coming straight in Ivanna's direction. Ivanna screamed in irritation. She transformed her arms into large cannons and attacked Lee and Ellie with huge lasers.
Ivanna flew in mid-air over Lee and Ellie, who laid on their back to the ground with groans.
"I win again!" Ivanna yelled. She noticed that two people are missing. "Wait a minute. Where's the other two?"
Right on cue, Donna thrusted her hand forward and grew out large vines that bind Ivanna's arms and legs, trapping her in place.
"What?! No fair!" Ivanna screamed angrily.
Ivanna tried to wrestle herself free.
"Ella, now!" Donna shouted.
Ella sprang out of the bushes and rushed towards Ivanna. She grabbed the robot by the arms and released a vast amount of explosive flames that greatly burned Ivanna.
"No! NNNNOOOOOOO!" Ivanna shrieked.
As Ella's fire magic encased Ivanna, Ella spotted the mystical orb and reached out to grab it, leaving the childlike robot incinerated into nothingness.
Donna, Lee, and Ellie recovered as they walked up to Ella.
"I know she was evil and all, but I feel kinda bad for her." Ellie spoke. "I mean, she was just a child."
"Who created by a mad scientist with no description of being a parent." Donna commented.
"True, but at least we have the power source." Ella said, holding the mystical orb in her hand.
"I'll take that." Donna said, taking the orb from her older sister.
"You're not gonna use that for your future inventions, are you?" Lee asked.
"Duh. Never underestimate my creative intellect." Donna replied.
"Well, I'm just glad this fight is over." Lee said. "Now, let's head home."
Ella, Donna, Lee, and Ellie waked back to the Sonicruiser.
The Sonicruiser parked inside the Crete Fortress's garage.
"We've got pizza, the soda, and a two-hour movie DVD!" Aaliyah cheered.
"What is it about?" Irma asked.
"Something about robots." Aaliyah replied.
Donna, Ella, Lee, Ellie, and Irma winced at Aaliyah's words.
"Uh, how about an alien movie instead?" Ellie suggested.
"Oh yeah, good idea." Aaliyah agreed sheepishly.
Just 2012 and 2018, the Lotus Ninjas's vehicle is a Chevrolet Camaro. That, and it's my dream car ever since I saw Bumblebee from Transformers movies.
