Hey guys! This is my first story Wild Cat, rewritten again just to get the story a little more straight and the grammar corrected, so, enjoy! ^^ Again!
"C'mon Chris! We have to save those lions!" puffed Martin Kratt as he ran faster. Martin was the eldest Kratt brother who was quite tall and had tan blond hair, and he was always the clown in situations. But, in this situation, he was dead serious.
"To the creature rescue!" called out Chris Kratt as he ran slightly past his brother. Chris was the youngest Kratt brother, who was almost as tall as Martin, and hard dark brown hair. He was more of the inventive type, so as he ran, he awkwardly worked on fixing the wing on his glider so he could get there faster.
Surprisingly, the brothers did not come to Africa to stop the evil plans of Donita, Zach, or Gourmand; they came to stop the evil plans of poachers. It was poaching season down in Africa, and thanks to Donita, lion fur had become one of the top things in fashion and decor. Finally, Chris finished his quick repairs on the glider, "Done!" he said quickly as he opened it and jump up opening it's wings. The glider had been invented by Aviva, so even if Chris just jumped up a few feet off the ground, he could take off.
Martin watched his brother sail ahead, and mumbled out loud, while panting, "Need... other... transportation...besides...running!" he tried to run faster, yet failed, as he tripped and fell in a mud hole.
A beep came from Martin's wrist communicator, and pretty soon a hologram of a Spanish girl appeared, staring slightly down at Martin, who was currently face down in the mud. It was Aviva, the Kratts main member of the Tech Crew, "Um, MK, you alright?"
"I'm fine..." you could hear underneath the mud, and slowly Martin lifted his head and blinked, but the froze and the hair on his neck stood up... because a sound that would terrify any Wild Kratt filled the air; Gun fires.
Martin jumped up, "The lions!" he and Aviva both said at the same time in fright. Martin tried to run, but, slipped in the mud once more and fell back on his butt.
Aviva face palmed at him as Martin blinked wondering how that just happened again. "MK, I'm having Jimmy Z teleport my cheetah racer, you have to hurry and help Chris!"
As the hologram faded, Martin could hear Jimmy in the background say, "Now teleporting!"
Martin then felt a shadow grow from above him. He screamed as he looked up and dodged the racer that fell into the mud where he had sat a few moments ago. Martin then could hear Aviva yelling at Jimmy for getting her racer dirty over the Creature Pod Communicator. Martin rolled his eyes, then quickly jumped, and took off on the cheetah racer as more gun shots fired in the distance.
Chris flew, and soon was very far ahead and out of sight of Martin. He personally wondered what was taking his brother so long, knowing this was an urgent situation.
Soon Chris heard the first fires of the guns, and quickly scanned the area hoping no animal was hurt. He saw a helicopter that had landed in the distance, and knew immediately it was the poachers. Uck, poachers; just thinking about them made Chris cringe. Poachers went and killed innocent animals all for money! It was terrible!
He landed close enough to see everything, but, far enough away so no one could see him. He had to act fast. The poachers where already bringing back a few dead lionesses, and one alive lion cub.
Chris gasped at seeing the dead lionesses, "Those poor, poor creatures..." he shook his head slowly, but he now knew that he had to save the cub while it was still alive.
As Chris was about to make his move, he stopped, noticing that as the helicopter took off, a lioness that had been watching ran and jumped- onto the copter clinging on! Chris smiled, "Wow, a grown lion can jump about 12 feet in the air... and this one has jumped 17 feet!" But his smile faded as he saw driver of the helicopter get out his gun. It was time to act. He quickly jumped up with the glider, and flew over to the lioness, being careful of the blades that spun to keep the copter up. The door off the helicopter opened, and a man with a large gun appeared... and instead of pointing the gun at the lioness, he pointed it at Chris.
The lioness had sprung into the helicopter once the door had opened, and had quickly retrieved the cub, which was now hanging in her mouth. When the lioness had returned to the open door, another shot rang through the air...
"CHRIS!" shouted Martin who was in the distance, and saw his brother fall from his glider. He put the cheetah racer on full speed, as he saw the helicopter all of a sudden crash because of something that had happened inside.
By the time Martin got there, he saw the helicopter in ruins, and on fire; but the poachers had escaped, and were nowhere to be found. Past the flames, and the helicopter, lay Chris motionless, with the lioness and cub sitting beside him, roaring and mourning, it almost seemed.
Martin quickly jumped off the racer, as he quickly signaled Aviva for help. Martin ran over to his brother and knelt beside him, "Chris! Chris!" he turned his brother over onto his back, and quickly checked to see if he was still breathing. Chris was breathing... just barely though... Martin sighed with little relief, and looked for what happened, and he soon found blood dripping down from a bullet hole in Chris's chest. Martin gasped in horror and picked up his brother quickly but carefully.
As Martin stood, waiting for help, a voice came from right beside him, "I'm so sorry this happened... I tried to save him..."
Well, that concludes the first chapter... AND TO THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY READ THIS AND KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN; shush XD and just review, savvy?
