TMNG (Book 1)

Iron Sage

Saldana was in the middle of quiet meditation in the dojo. As a mother and a mentor to her four teenaged daughters, she must channel her incredible mystical abilities throughout the universe. But she was suddenly interrupted by a loud noise coming from outside the dojo.

In the living room, Ellie was standing on the top of a makeshift skateboard ramp while wearing a pair of orange skates. Her plan was to view herself jump her skateboard over her sisters. She could hear them complaining about how Ellie had talked them into her stupid idea. Ellie then rode on her skates down the skateboard ramp until Saldana walked in the living room with a stern look on her face.

"What's going on in here?" Saldana demanded loudly.

Lee, Donna, and Ella quickly jumped on their feet nervously. But they turned around to see Ellie still riding on her skates, ending up crashing on them painfully once the ramp fell apart.

"How many times have I tell you not to skate around in the fortress?" Saldana asked firmly.

"We're sorry, mother." Lee apologized. She, Ella, and Donna gave the nervous Ellie serious looks on their faces. "We've definitely should have known better." She then turned back to Saldana. "And we deserve to be punished."

"It doesn't matter." Saldana scolded as she placed her hands on her hips. "Because you girls are grounded for a week in the fortress. Don't even think about sneaking off."

Lee, Ella, Donna, and Ellie sighed in disappointment as they went on cleaning the living room with their magic.

Two hours later, the three Lotus Ninjas are becoming bored by the minute. Lee was lying on the coach with her tired eyes, Ellie was playing her orange handheld game with no happy expression, and Ella was sitting next to Lee with her arms crossed over her chest.

"Ugh, I can't believe we're stuck in this dump for a whole week!" Ella complained with a groan.

Then, Donna ran quickly into the living room from her lab.

"Girls! Remember the other day I was rummaging through the military disposal dump?" Donna asked excitedly.

"Yeah." Lee, Ellie, and Ella answered in unison.

"Well, I was able to find an incredibly advanced microchip and finally created this." Donna said with a grin.

Donna showed out her latest invention to her sisters. It was a shiny, glossy silver oval-shaped music player with a curved surface that has a polished aluminum case and a larger screen. Lee, Ellie, and Ella immediately got up from the couch as they surrounded Donna's new high-tech invention.

"Whoa!" Lee, Ella, and Ellie said in awe.

"I've invented the most advanced music player in the world! So, who wants to try it?" Donna asked smugly.

"I do! Toss me the L-pod!" Ellie said as she immediately raised her hand in the air.

"The L-pod?" Donna said with a raised eyebrow.

"Lotus. Pod, L-pod." Ellie explained with a smile. "So, yeah."

Donna shrugged her shoulders and handed the L-Pod to Ellie, who inserted the vibrant orange earphones into her ears.

"You're really gonna plug a highly advanced music player directly into Ellie's head?" Ella said with a raised eyebrow. She then formed a sinister smile across her face. "Could it melt her brain completely?"
