Summary: Donna finds her intelligence slowly plummeting.
In the Crete Fortress, Ellie, Lee, and Ella stood outside of Donna's lab.
"It's been days since she's been in there." Ella spoke.
"Even when she does come out, she barely talks to us." Ellie added concernedly.
The door opened, silencing the three mystic sisters all at once. Donna smiled brightly as she walked out of the lab and headed into the kitchen. She grabbed a glass cup of orange juice and walked back inside her lab without saying a word to her sisters.
"I'm handling this." Lee said.
Lee walked up and knocked on the door.
"Hey, Donna. You've been locked up in your las for days. We're worried about you." Lee called out.
With no response from Donna, Lee opened the door and walked inside. Ellie and Ella followed from behind. They looked to see Donna experimenting on a potion serum from the roseate brain-shaped flower head on her desk.
"Now, let's extract its chemical components for future research." Donna muttered as she held a syringe in her hand.
Donna carefully injected the syringe into the flower inflorescence and extracted the pink fluid into it. She smiled at the pink-colored syringe, paying no attention to her three sisters standing right behind her.
"What'cha doin?" Ellie asked.
Shocked, Donna screamed as she tossed the syringe up in the air. But she quickly caught it with her magic before it crashed into pieces on the floor.
Lee, Ellie, and Ella then looked over to the strange roseate flower on the desk. The flower's velvety petals looked exactly cerebellum-like along with a brainstem planting its roots into the soil on the flower pot.
"What kind of plant...is that?" Ella asked.
Donna composed herself and turned around to face her sisters.
"If you must know, it's a Celosia cristata." Donna informed. "Also known as a cockscomb flower or, in other words, a brain flower."
"Let me guess. It's one of those rare plants?" Ellie asked as she and Lee stared at the flower with curiosity.
"Super rare. With ever‐changing roots, shoots, and leaves, the cockscomb flower grows uniquely like the neurons and vessels of our brains." Donna answered. "With frequent attention, care, and time to heal, the faded flower can recover just like the resilient brain. Right now, I'm extracting its chemical components so I can study its properties for a new potion."
Lee and Ellie kept staring at the brain flower for a moment. Their eyes widened in surprise when they watched the brain flower turning white right in front of them.
"Hey, Donna. Why's your brain flower turning white all of a sudden?" Lee asked.
"Oh my. Probably needs some water." Donna replied. "Lee, you mind?"
"No problem." Lee said.
Lee lifted one hand forward and generated water from her hand. She threw it above the brain flower, spattering and raining over it. As the brain flower returned to its original color, its shimmering scent spread out and expanded towards Ellie's face. Ella, Donna, and Lee immediately took notice as they watched Ellie backing away and starting to cover her nose with both hands. But Ellie released a powerful sneeze that sent herself and her older sisters flying backwards across the lab. Lee landed on the desk, Ella and Ellie landed on the chairs, and Donna landed hard on the floor. Ellie's sneeze knocked Donna's grip on the syringe, which broke to the floor into glass pieces and a drop of pink liquid landed on her hand.
"Ow!" Donna screamed.
Ellie, Ella, and Lee quickly moved over to check their brainiac sister as Donna pressed her hand on her other hand from the string.
"Donna, are you okay?" Ella asked.
"I didn't mean to. It was an accident." Ellie said defensively.
"No worries. I'm fine." Donna said as she stood up on her feet. "I know it was an accident. I just didn't expect a brain flower to release a scent like that. Right now, I'm gonna get some antiseptic for my hand."
Donna, Ellie, Ella, and Lee exited the lab.
As Donna was itching her hand, a pink root-like vein started to appear faintly on her skin.
In the dojo, Saldana stood in front of the Lotus Ninjas.
"For today's training, you will defend yourself against your opponent of my choosing." Saldana said. "Lee will go against Donna and Ellie will go against Ella."
Lee, Donna, Ellie, and Ella engulfed their hands in elemental magic.
"Hajime!" Saldana said.
Ella charged forward and attacked Ellie with her fire magic. But Ellie blocked it with her large air shield that knocked her oldest sister away. Ellie dashed and fired blasts of solid air from her hands. But Ella leaped up in the air and kicked Ellie with a flaming leg. Across from them, Lee began attacking Donna with her water magic, which Donna shielded herself when she summoned a large rock wall from the ground. Donna then crushed the rock wall into pebbles and fired them at Lee in a bullet-like fashion.
Donna stopped fighting and caught a glimpse of Phantom standing next to Saldana for a moment. She waved at her robot with a happy smile and a spaced-out expression. Lee's water blast hit Donna that sent her crashing down to the floor.
Back in Donna's lab, the flower head of the brain flower began to move strangely. It expanded bigger and bigger until it started shaping itself as a tall, curvaceous feminine yokai. She has pale peach skin, wavy upper back-length dark pink hair with a pair of paradise pink brain-like flower buds held by golden hair ties on each side of her head, powder blue eyes, and deep pink lips. She wore a skintight pinkish-black leotard over black tights, black gloves, and black flats.
"Oh, wow. Took a while, but having a year-long sleep was worth it." The flower yokai said as she stretched her limbs. "Time to start my feast." She looked around the lab with a mix of curiosity and confusion. "But...where exactly am I?"
Meanwhile, Lee and Donna continued sparring with each other one on one. Donna dodged all of Lee's water tentacles and knocked the blue mystic kunoichi away with a large rock pillar that she stomped with her right boot. Lee crashed herself to the wall that made her water tentacles drop to the floor in a large puddle.
Donna's eyes stared curiously at the water puddle as she paid no attention to her irises glitching strangely.
As Donna was distracted, Lee walked up over to wave her hand in front of her sister's face.
"Uh, Donna? Donna?" Lee called out. "Hello to Donna?"
"Huh?" Donna said. She looked up at Lee from the water puddle. "Oh, right, sorry."
"Are you alright, Donna?" Lee asked. "You seem distracted. More so than usual."
"Your sister is correct, Donatella." Saldana said as she and Phantom walked over to Donna and Lee. "It's not like you to lose focus like that."
"I...I don't know." Donna replied as she wasn't sure what happened herself. "I guess being in the lab for so long got me distracted, which never happened for some strange reason."
Donna and Ellie walked out of the dojo and headed to the lab.
"Are you sure you're okay, Donna?" Ellie asked worryingly. "I can make you some tea that will calm your mind."
"I'm fine." Donna responded. "But I think tea will be nice. I was hoping a little training would clear my head from being in the lab for so long."
"But how exactly did you find that brain flower anyway?" Ellie asked.
"I didn't. Irma was the one who found it and brought it to me last night when we went to the botanical garden for our science assignment." Donna replied.
When Donna and Ellie opened the doors to the lab, they gasped with wide eyes. The brain flower was nowhere to be found on the desk.
"Where's the Celosia flower?" Donna exclaimed in disbelief.
"Well, don't look at me. I have nothing to do with this." Ellie said as she held her hands up defensively. "But let's find it. It's gonna be here somewhere."
"But that's not possible." Donna said. "I know it was right on my desk, Ella. How can it move on...?"
"Uh, Donna, I'm Ellie, not Ella." Ellie corrected. "Why did you call me that?"
"I did?" Donna said as she stared at Ellie with a confused expression. But she shook it off and moved over to her desk. "Oh, sorry. My bad. Let's just find the flower, Ellie."
Donna began looking around her desk. Ellie looked at her older sister with a worried look.
"You alright, D?" Ellie asked.
Donna stopped looking and turned around to look at Ellie.
"I'm fine. Why do you ask?" Donna asked.
"Because you got something pink growing on your arm." Ellie pointed out.
Donna raised an eyebrow in confusion. She looked at her arm and her eyes widened. Her arm was filled with pink vein-like marks rising halfway in the middle.
"What the?!" Donna exclaimed in shock. "But did this happen?!" She suddenly felt lightheaded and started falling to the floor, but Ellie caught her in a nick of time. "I'm not...feeling too good."
"You sat down and I'll be right back. I'll get you some ice and tea." Ellie said as she placed Donna on a chair. "I'll get Phantom while I'm at it."
Ellie exited out of the lab and ran into the kitchen.
Back in the dojo, Lee was drinking a bottle of water to refresh herself on a break. She suddenly detected a mysterious aura coming from behind. She placed her water bottle down on the floor and stood perfectly still when a feminine-looking shadow loomed over her. Lee turned around and prepared to strike, but a large plant vine swatted her and sent her flying to the wall. Lee looked up as she couldn't believe what she saw.
"What the heck are you?!" Lee exclaimed.
"I'm a Furawa." The flower yokai responded. "And I'm here to fill my stomach with human blood. But you. A soul of pure magic. It will nourish me well."
Lee charged forward and delivered multiple blasts of solid water at the Furawā. But her magical attacks weren't strong enough to strike the flower yokai, who began to dodge the water blasts.
Suddenly, the Furawā grabbed Lee's legs with a large vine. She swung the blue mystic kunoichi repeatedly around the dojo room. She then pinned Lee to the wall with two more large vines wrapping around her arms and throats that made her unable to move.
"Guys!" Lee screamed. "Help me!"
As the large vines kept tightening Lee, she slowly started to suffocate unconsciously that made the Furawā smile evilly on her face.
Luckily, Saldana and her three other daughters immediately came running inside the dojo. They arrived just in time to see the Furawā strangling Lee against the wall. Donna and Ellie's eyes widened when they recognized the plant yokai's appearance.
"Donna, is that what I think it is?!" Ellie cried out.
"It's the Cockscomb flower!" Donna exclaimed.
Ella looked to see Lee limping unconsciously in the Furawā's grip.
"Lee!" Ella gasped.
As the Furawā turned around to face the other mystics, she released Lee from the vines and threw her directly at the group. Saldana swiftly caught her eldest daughter and went over to heal Lee with her magic as Ella, Ellie, and Donna charged at the flower yokai. Ella started delivering a barrage of fireballs that sent the Furawā straight to the wall. Next, Ellie generated several crescent-shaped blades of compressed solid wind and fired them to strike the Furawā. Then, Donna channeled her earth magic around her hands and then summoned stones all around her before firing them to attack the Furawā heavily on impact.
The yokai recovered and charged forward at the three mystics at fast speed, leaving their eyes widened in shocking surprise. The yokai spun around rapidly and released glowing light green leaves from her body at the three mystic kunoichis, who protected themselves with their magic.
The Furawā dashed towards Ella, Ellie, and Donna. But Saldana charged straight for the flower yokai and delivered quick fast blows at the Furawā's limbs before swiftly firing a powerful white energy beam that blasted the flower yokai right out of the dojo.
"Is everyone okay?" Saldana asked.
"We're good." Ella responded with a thumb-up.
Ella, Donna, Ellie, and Lee quickly hurried after the Furawā, who slithered towards Donna's lab. But once they arrived, the flower yokai was gone. Saldana rushed into the lab and looked around.
"So, she was the yokai all along?" Ella asked.
"And who knows where she could've gone." Ellie said.
"We have to contact Irma right now." Lee said.
"I'm on it-t-t-t-t-t-t-t." Donna said eccentrically.
With dilated pupils, Donna's voice went distorted with unexpected static noises. Everyone stared at the purple mystic kunoichi with stunned expressions. Donna's voice and eyes soon returned to normal.
"Wait, what were we talking about?" Donna asked with confusion.
Meanwhile, the Furawā stood on the building rooftop and stared at the city lights.
"What a beautiful night." The Furawā said. "Perfect to crave the main course."
Back in the Crete Fortress, Donna was bobbing her head side to side on the chair in an eccentric manner. Everyone stared at her with bewildered and confused expressions.
"Uh, Donna? Are you alright? It's not like you to space out in a serious situation." Ella said as she moved closer to Donna.
"We really need to focus, so we need to find that yokai." Lee said as she grabbed Donna's arms that stopped her from acting weird. "Did you even know that flower was a yokai when you found it?"
"No. I didn't know. Irma was the one who found the flower and gave it to me." Donna responded.
"I already texted Irma while I was making tea in the kitchen." Ellie said. "She'll be here in a few minutes after she finishes with her history report."
"Alright. For now, let's head out and search for Furawa before she does any harm." Lee said.
Outside, the Sonicruiser drove on the road in the city.
"I'm tracing the Furawa's aura. She's somewhere close." Lee said. "Any info on the yokai, Donna?"
Donna didn't respond to Lee's question.
"Hey, Donna? Lee just asked you a question." Ella said, turning her head to Donna.
Once again, no response from Donna. Ellie leaned over to Donna from her seat. Donna wasn't focusing on the main task. In fact, she was actually playing a puzzle video game on her phone.
"Wait a minute. Are you playing Tetris right now?" Ellie asked.
"Donna, we don't have time for this!" Ella yelled with annoyance. "Just use your yokai flash drive!"
"Oh, right." Donna said. She took out her flash drive and stared at it with confusion. "Uh, um, how does this work again?"
Lee, Ellie, and Ella traded confused faces.
"Okay, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say Donna's brain isn't functioning." Ella said.
"Wait a minute. Remember when the fluid spilled on her skin when that flower scent made me sneeze?" Ellie asked. "It's possible that whatever that yokai has might've affected Donna."
"That's true." Lee said. "Well, until Irma finishes her assignment, we'll just have to deal with Donna's condition."
The Sonicruiser pulled into a stop into an alleyway and cloaked itself in camouflage mode.
"Alright, Furawa is just a block away." Lee said to Ella and Ellie. "Ellie, you stay and watch Donna. Ella, you're with me."
Lee and Ella exited the Sonicruiser. Ellie looked at her older sister with a worried expression as Donna began moving her head side to side with a goofy smile.
Lee and Ella leaped across the building rooftops until they arrived on a makeshift greenhouse. They quietly snuck inside and their eyes widened in complete shock. The entire place was filled with an illimitable number of plant-like tubes planted throughout the entire area. Lee closed her eyes and sensed several living auras within the plant tubes.
"This is bad." Lee muttered. "Furawa has captured humans."
"But why?" Ella asked.
"Earlier, before she attacked me, she planned to devour human blood for nourishment." Lee replied.
"So, she's like a plant vampire. Well, that's unexpected even for a yokai." Ella muttered.
"Right now, let's focus on freeing the humans." Lee said. "Good thing I created a little hypnosis for such a certain occasion."
As Ella stealthily hid behind one of the plant tubes, Lee aimed her glowing blue hands forward and fired several small blue crescent-shaped blades of water to slice each plant tube in half that released unconscious humans to the ground. Ella then waved her red glowing fingers around in the air, releasing red shimmering mist around the humans and sending them to walk out of the greenhouse and through the opened doorway in one piece.
Then, Furawa loomed her Shadow over Lee and Ella that made them spin around to face her.
"No!" Furawa screamed angrily. "You ruined my harvesting!" She managed to calm herself and drew out a sinister smile. "But I'm actually glad you two showed up. Since you have stolen my meal, I shall devour your blood instead!"
"Oh boy." Ella muttered.
With no hesitation, Ella and Lee quickly ran out of the greenhouse door. They began jumping from building rooftops to rooftops just before Furawa bursted out through the greenhouse and went after the mystic kunoichis.
In the Sonicruiser, Donna moved her head up and down while making mumbling noises. Ellie kept looking at her older sister worriedly, but her eyes caught the sight of pink root-like veins appearing on Donna's right arm.
"Donna, your arm!" Ellie exclaimed.
Donna looked down at her right arm with a childlike smile.
"Oopsie." Donna giggled. "I should've known better not to draw my arm with ink."
"Come on, Donna. This is serious." Ellie said as she examined the veins on Donna's arm. "And it looks like it's getting worse by the second."
Donna moved away from Ellie and sat on the driver's seat.
"Oh, what does that button do?" Donna asked.
Donna was about to touch the red button near the wheel with her curious finger. But Ellie quickly grabbed Donna's hand.
"Don't. Touch. Anything." Ellie warned.
"But, come on." Donna whined. "I just wanna touch it."
With an annoyed face, Ellie threw Donna away from the driver's seat.
"Man, she's almost beginning to act like me." Ellie said. "Minus the brain drain."
Lee and Ella continued sprinting across building rooftops while swiftly avoiding razor-sharp flower petals and plant vines from Furawa, who was still dashing after them from behind.
"We have to head back to the Sonicruiser!" Lee shouted.
"You don't have to tell me twice!" Ella exclaimed. She suddenly got an idea. "Hey, Lee! If that yokai's after blood, maybe we can bait her into a trap."
"Great idea." Lee said. "And we'll become the bait to make it work."
Lee pulled out her phone and dialed Ellie on speaker.
"Hey, Ellie. How's Donna?" Lee said.
"Finally managed to tie her up." Ellie replied. "Wasn't easy, though."
"Listen, Ella and I got a plan to take out the yokai. We're on our way to you right now." Lee said. "Once we get to the Sonicruiser, wait for our signal."
"No problem." Ellie said.
"Come and get us, flower bud!" Ella called out.
Ella and Lee then jumped down into an alley.
Furawa growled. She jumped down and landed on the ground halfway close to the cloaked Sonicruiser. She slowly looked around and then looked up to see Lee and Ella crouching on the fire escape stairs.
"Ellie, now!" Lee shouted.
The headlights turned on and the Sonicruiser revealed itself as it drove forward at full speed. When Furawa spun around with wide eyes, the Sonicruiser slammed straight into her and sent the flower yokai flying into the wall of a dead-end alley. The Furawa rose out of the crater, but it was too late for her to react nor strike an attack. Ellie pressed the brown button and the Sonicruiser unleashed a barrage of grenades that ignited and blew the flower yokai to crisps. Lee, Ella, and Ellie watched the flower yokai being engulfed in burning flames.
"Yeah!" Ella cheered.
"I'm glad that's over." Ellie said, poking her head out of the vehicle with a smile.
Donna poked behind Ellie and became completely mesmerized by the fire.
"Oh, wow. So pretty." Donna smiled childishly.
"I just received a text from Irma. She's at the fortress right now." Ellie reported to Lee.
"Good. Now, let's get Donna back home." Lee said as she and Ella jumped down from the fire escape stairs.
Lee and Ella walked inside the Sonicruiser with their younger sisters. The Sonicruiser drove away out of the alley and onto the road.
In the dead-end alley, Furawa slithered away from the burning flames and headed up to a nearby building rooftop. Her entire body looked somewhat shatterable with a glaring face. But her eyes started to glow with blazing energy.
"This…isn't over." Furawa hissed angrily. "I will harvest the blood of those mystics. Even if I have to go all out to claim it!"
Furawa laughed sinisterly as she started to grow and transform into a huge monstrous form.
Back in the Crete Fortress, Donna sat on the couch and looked into space with a far-off expression and a childish giggle inside the living room. Lee, Ella, Ellie, and Irma watched with concerned faces, knowing that the purple mystic kunoichi's mental state was already deteriorating.
"This is not good." Ella sighed. "She's getting worse by the second."
Ellie walked over and knelt down in front of Donna, placing both hands on her older sister's arms and forcing her to look at her in the eyes.
"Donna, please listen to me." Ellie said as she looked Donna deeply in the eyes. "We need you to come back. We need your big brain and your nerdy personality. Please, Donna. Come back to us."
Donna stared at Ellie for a moment and then released a wide smile on her face.
"Still funny as always." Donna giggled as she placed her hands on Ellie's cheeks.
Donna then stood up on her feet just as Phantom came behind the couch and grabbed Donna by the waist with her large clawed hands.
"It's no use, girls." Ellie said to her sisters and Irma.
"Irma, please tell me you figured out the problem." Lee said to Irma.
"I did." Irma replied. She and her friends looked back at Donna, who was struggling to break free from Phantom's grasp with a crazed smile and purple glitching eyes. "Phantom managed to scan Donna a minute ago. Her intelligent patterns are degrading. If we don't restore them, she can lose her IQ...permanently."
Ellie gasped in shock.
"We have to do something." Ella said.
"Any ideas on how to cure Donna, Phantom?" Lee asked Phantom.
"Exposure to the Furawa's blood shall reverse the effect." Phantom replied.
"I can do that. She told me that she extracted the yokai's blood with two syringes while it was in its plant form." Irma said. "With it, I should be able to create an antidote. You girls keep Donna occupied while I work on it."
Irma ran straight into Donna's lab, leaving three mystic sisters to look back at the squirming Donna.
"Keep her occupied, huh? Yeah, easier said than done." Ella remarked.
An hour later, Ella and Ellie sat on the couch while Lee stood next to Saldana as they collectively watched Phantom still holding Donna in her grasp.
"Phhhaaannntttooommm?" Donna grinned as she turned around and hugged her marionette robot. "Please let me go. Please? Please? Pllleeeaaassseee!"
"I'm getting worried, mother." Lee said.
"Have patience." Saldana replied. "Irma is working on a cure as we speak."
"It's like dealing with a three-year-old Ellie." Ella sighed.
"Hey!" Ellie snapped.
"It's done!"
Ella, Ellie, Lee, and Saldana turned their heads to see Irma walking up to them while carrying a bright purplish pink round beaker in her hands.
"Sorry for the long wait, but I've finally created the antidote." Irma said. She walked over to Donna, who stopped hugging Phantom and spun around. "Hey, Donna. Look what I got for you."
Donna stared at the purplish pink liquid with a wide smile.
"Is that…a milkshake?" Donna asked.
"That's right. Here, drink up." Irma said, holding the round beaker towards Donna.
Donna grabbed the beaker and drank the purplish pink liquid wholly. In an instant, she began to couch and dropped the beaker to the floor, shattering it into broken pieces.
"Donna?" Lee spoke.
"Say something, D." Ellie said.
Suddenly, Donna's glitching eyes crossed with a goofy moan and her tongue sticking out.
"What in the world?!" Ella exclaimed.
"I know what you're thinking, but hear me out." Irma assured calmly. "When I was working on the antidote, the combined juices of citrus fruits were the perfect ingredients to reverse the effects. Therefore, it's gonna take a while for the cure to work on Donna."
All of a sudden, Phantom projected a holographic image of the city through her eyes.
"High alert! High alert!" Phantom announced. "There's a major yokai sighting located near the fortress!"
Phantom showed another holographic image of a huge monstrous roseate-black dragon soaring in the sky with a loud screech.
"It's Furawa!" Ellie exclaimed.
"And she's heading this way!" Ella cried out.
"This is bad. But without Donna, I hate to think of the outcome." Lee said.
Phantom released Donna on the floor, allowing the purple mystic kunoichi to dance around the living room with a moronic mumble. Then, she stopped dancing and instantly fell asleep onto Phantom's arms.
"You three take care of that yokai dragon. We'll keep an eye on Donatella." Saldana responded firmly.
As the three mystic kunoichis hurried outside and climbed on top of the cloaking fortress, they turned their heads just in time to see Furawa hovering straight towards them.
"Let's take her down." Lee responded.
"Roger that." Ellie and Ella nodded.
Lee swiped her arms and released crescent-like blades of water at Furawa, slicing the yokai's left arm and right wing cleanly. Furawa regenerated her arm and wing with a wicked smile.
"Oh no!" Ellie yelped. "She's regenerating!"
"Let's see if this dragon can withstand the heat!" Ella shouted.
Ella lifted her arms forward and fired a number of fiery red beams towards Furawa, burning and scorching the yokai dragon on impact. Furawa screamed in pain, but she recovered and transformed her wings into long thick vines. She then launched the vines towards Ella and restrained her before releasing a shining pink powder around Ella's face and putting her to sleep.
"Ella!" Lee and Ellie screamed.
Furawa opened her mouth and shot out several glowing pink seeds at Lee and Ellie, who dodged each one with quick speed and reflexes. Lee released concentrated beams of water from her hands at Furawa, who shielded herself with both wings. Furawa then restrained Lee with her vines and released a shining pink powder from her mouth, instantly sending the blue mystic kunoichi to sleep.
"Lee!" Ellie screamed.
With Lee and Ella out of the fight, Ellie found herself the last one standing against the flower dragon yokai.
"All right, Furawa, it's you and me now." Ellie said. "You want me? Come and get me!"
With a loud roar, Furawa outstretched her wings and fired a hail of seed-like missiles at Ellie, who dodged out of the way with backflips and full splits. Ellie leaped onto a nearby cloud that made Furawa look up at her. Ellie created an enormous tornado, hitting the flower dragon yokai in one shot with great force. Ellie smiled while striking a victorious pose. But Furawa seized Ellie in one giant fist and held her close to her face. Ellie was struggling to break loose as Furawa slowly drifted next to the Crete Fortress.
"It's over, mystics." Furawa said. "I got what I wanted, and your blood is all mine."
Suddenly, a large rock fist was launched and hit Furawa. The flower dragon yokai screeched in pain and released Ellie out of her grasp. Ellie safely landed on a nearby cloud and looked down to see Donna standing on top of the cloaking fortress. She was carrying a high-tech silver-colored metal tin box in her hands.
"Get away from my sister, you blossoming freak!" Donna shouted.
Furawa hissed angrily, but Ellie smiled at the sight of her older sister.
"Donna!" Ellie exclaimed happily.
"It doesn't matter! I already took out two of you! You can't possibly hope to defeat me!" Furawa shouted.
"Maybe not. That's why I've invented this." Donna said.
Donna removed the lid and opened up a large vortex as she thrusted it forward.
"Goodbye and good riddance." Donna said.
Furawa screamed in agony as she was being pulled toward the portal. After the flower dragon yokai was finally suctioned into the box, Donna closed it by placing the lid back on tight. Ellie rode her cloud and jumped off to hug her older sister.
"Donna, thank goodness!" Ellie smiled happily. "You're back!"
"You and me both. Irma's antidote took a while, but my IQ is finally back." Donna smiled back. "Now, let's go find our sisters."
Back in her lab, Donna placed a tin box on the shelf.
"I've invented this box to contain all of the yokais that we've battled in their frozen state." Donna said. "Think of it as a dimensional prison."
"I'm glad Irma created the antidote to cure you." Ellie smiled, leaning her shoulder against Irma's shoulder. "The whole immature Donatella was starting to get on my nerves."
"And you should know." Ella remarked with a smile.
"Hey!" Ellie snapped.
"Yeah, thanks for that. I never would've thought the Flavonoids in the citrus fruits were the perfect reversing agent for the antidote. I owe you big-time, Irma." Donna smiled. "And…I'm sorry about the way I was acting earlier. Like Ellie-level immaturity."
Ellie pouted as she rolled her eyes.
"No worries, Donna." Lee smiled. "We're just glad to have you back."
"And besides, we have a way you can make it up to us." Ellie said with a grin.
"Really? Anything." Donna smiled.
"Five boxes of pizzas and six boxes of sweet treats." Ellie replied.
"Deal." Donna said with a shrug. She walked past Ellie and Lee. "But at least, I've learned something through all of this today. And it's that I finally understand how Ellie feels all the time."
"Aww, thanks, D." Ellie beamed. Her eyes widened as she quickly understood Donna's words of insult. "Hey, wait a second." She dashed forward towards Donna. "Donna!"
With a smirk, Donna looked at her younger sister over her shoulder and rushed out of the lab as Ellie kept running after her.
Furawā - Japanese for flower; a flower yokai OC
