"Hey Chris!" I shouted as I flapped my wings. We were in Africa looking for a hyena cackle. "After we find the hyenas-" I was cut off by a weird laughing sound.
"Found the hyenas!" my brother called on his Creature Pod. I landed and deactivated my peregrine falcon suit. Chris drove up in the Createrra and parked it behind some rocks.
Beep. My Creature Pod… I pulled it out; Aviva came up on the screen. "Did you find the hyenas, Martin?" she asked.
Yeah." Chris had said that while coming up behind me.
"Excellent. Do you have the tags?"
"Yup," I said, holding them up.
"Good; zap out." I put my Creature Pod away. "So, do you want to tag first, or can I?" I asked my brother.
"Sure you can," Chris replied, handing me the remote to the flycam.
After we finished tagging the hyenas, I took a peregrine falcon feather out of my pocket and activated my Creature Power Suit. Chris came up next to me and challenged me to race him back to the Tortuga.
"You're on, bro!"
I drew a line in the dirt with my talon. Chris (in the Createrra once again) drove up to the line as I flew right above him. "On your mark…" my bro called, revving up the engine. "Get set…" I replied, flapping my wings.
"GO!" And we were off! I was still above Chris; I flapped my wings harder. While flapping, I looked down, to see my shadow moving in front of the Createrra. Guess Chris noticed this, because he sped up. Soon, I hit a pocket of hot air, making me fly higher. Tucking my wings into a stoop, I angled myself so I would go further. The savannah raced below me. Wow- I could see only blurs of creature pelts- there was a cheetah at 6 o'clock. Wait- a leopard pattern blur seemed to be following me. When I pulled myself out of the dive, I looked behind me. Bad idea- because of my slowing down, Chris was catching up! I beat my wings harder.
The Tortuga was in sight! I closed my eyes and flapped as hard as I could. When my eyes opened again, it was just in time to see the… TORTUGA!
Ow… I thought, hitting the side of the Tortuga. Double ow. That was me, hitting the ground. Looking up, I saw Chris getting out of the Createrra, which was parked next to me.
"You okay, bro?" he asked me.
"Yeah..." I said as I sat up. "Guess the Tortuga was closer than I thought!" We laughed. Then, Aviva ran out of the Tortuga, looking alarmed and yelling "What happened?" Koki and Jimmy weren't far behind. Koki explained that they heard a loud crash.
"That... was me," I replied. Aviva crossed her arms over her chest.
"What was it this time, Brothers Kratt?"
"Well, Chris challenged me to a race, and..." I went on explaining what happened. Soon, we were all laughing like crazy. After the laughter died down, I saw how late it was- the sun was almost gone!
"C'mon guys, it's getting late," I said. Chris continued "Yeah, and I'm starving!"
"How..?" I asked. "I was the one flying! All you did was drive the Createrra!" We had to laugh at that.
"Come on, you two." Aviva pushed us from behind.
Once we were inside, Jimmy asked me a question.
"Martin, are you going to deactivate, or are we going to have to eat with a falcon?" I looked down and realized that I was still in my Peregrine Falcon suit. "Haha, No I'll deactivate" I replied. I deactivated and followed the rest of the team into the kitchen.
