TMNG (Book 1)

Special: Michelle's Hourglass

At the bottom of the ocean, the Lotus Ninjas arrived inside an underwater shrine temple filled with various hourglasses around the room. Each hourglass was enveloped in a transparent octahedral crystal. Four mystic kunoichis were looking for the hourglass that is perfect for them.

"Hey! How about this one here?" Ellie asked her older sisters as she looked at the smallest hourglass.

"Wait a minute. You want this one?" Donna asked as she walked over to Ellie and looked at the smallest hourglass.

"Yeah, it looks adorable." Ellie smiled.

"Ellie, not all legendary glass of time has to be small and insignificant." Donna explained. She walked over to the next hourglass. "All of them has to be beautiful and grand."

Donna then looked at a medium-sized hourglass excitedly.

"Like this one!" Donna smiled with star-shaped eyes.

"I'll take this one." Lee said as she looked up at the largest hourglass.

"Whoa!" Ellie gasped.

"That biggest one?" Donna said. " How are even supposed to get that back home?"

"I can shrink it." Lee replied.

Lee waved her hand in circles and pointed at her magic to the largest hourglass, causing it to shrink down into hand size. The blue mystic kunoichi carefully picked it up from the ground.

"Hey, girls. I've found mine." Ella called out as she picked up a diamond-shaped hourglass. "This one right here!"

Suddenly, the underwater shrine started to shake. The shrine's roof broke that poured a huge amount of ocean water into the temple to flood the place.

"Ella! You choose the wrong one!" Donna yelled.

"Oh, my bad." Ella apologized as she looked at her chosen hourglass. "But hey, it was worth it."

"We don't have much time." Lee said. "Let's move!"

Lee, Donna, and Ella dodged the water to the opening portal. But Ellie ran towards the tiny hourglass.

"Ellie!" Lee, Donna, and Ella shouted.

Ellie quickly picked up the tiny hourglass and ran back to her sisters, but a huge wave of ocean water flowed towards Ellie that made her older sisters panic.

"Hang on, Ellie!" Lee shouted.

Lee waved her hand in circles and pointed at her magic to shapeshift her right arm large enough for her to grab Ellie before pulling her away from the danger to the portal. The Lotus Ninjas quickly jumped into the closing portal right before a huge ocean wave have engulfed the temple.

In the Crete Fortress, the portal opened the Lotus Ninjas back into the dojo with a huge amount of ocean water. Saldana walked out of her room to find the ocean water soaking the whole place and her daughters being wet with a surprising face.

"Wow! That was awesome!" Ellie beamed as she floated on the water. "Can we go back again sometime?"

"Unfortunately, we can't." Donna replied angrily as she removed seaweed from her hair. "Lee and I will have to construct the water shrine if we can ever go back."

"You have a crab on your butt." Lee said with a smile to Donna.

"Huh?" Donna said with a raised eyebrow.

Donna looked down at her backside to find a crab on her butt and began screaming while trying to get it off, making Ella laugh out loud at her younger sister.
