K-5 (Full)

Iron Donna

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

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the living room, Talia 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 while her brother made a fire hoop for her. She could hear them complaining about how Talia had talked them into her stupid idea. Talia then rode on her skates down the skateboard ramp until Sage walked in the living room with a stern look on her face.

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

Kirana, Ariana, and Camilla quickly jumped on their feet nervously. But they turned around to see Talia still riding on her skates, ending up crashing on them painfully once the ramp fell apart. Ezra moved out of the way before Talia could crash into him.

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

"We're sorry, mother." Kirana apologized. She, Camilla, Ariana, and Ezra gave the nervous Talia serious looks on their faces. "We've definitely should have known better." She then turned back to Sage. "And we deserve to be punished."

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

Kirana, Camilla, Ariana, Talia, and Ezra groan in disappointment.

Two hours later, the three K-5 are becoming bored by the minute. Kirana was lying on the couch with her tired eyes, Talia was playing her orange handheld game with no happy expression, Ezra was playing catch by himself with a turquoise ball, and Camilla was sitting next to Kirana with her arms crossed over her chest.

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

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

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

"Yeah." Kirana, Camilla, Talia, and Ezra answered in unison.

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

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

"Whoa!" Kirana, Camilla, Talia, and Ezra said in awe.

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

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

"The K-pod?" Ariana said with a raised eyebrow.

"K-5. Pod, K-pod." Talia explained with a smile. "So, yeah."

Ariana shrugged her shoulders and handed the K-Pod to Talia, who inserted the vibrant orange earphones into her ears.

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