A/N: Hi again everyone! This is The Fire Ninja and Waterfall13! ^^ This is our new story we're writing together all about Misty, Reef, and the Wild kratts kids of North America!
Disclaimer: We do not own wild Kratts. However the awesome plot, Misty, Reef, Kile, and the kids(except Gaven, Kayla, and Jenny) belong to us! Enjoy our creation!
It was like any ordinary day as the Wild Kratts kids just starting their meeting on what to do in order to save the endangered animals from around the world in their favorite place: their back wood's clearing area.
Before the meeting started, Brent- a 7 years old with short orange hair-raised his hand and said eagerly, "Oh! Oh! You know what we could do to make this meeting a little more exciting?"
"What's that Brent?" asked Kayla curiously. Kayla was 8 and had long dark hair that went way past her shoulders. Everyone looked over at him in interest.
"We all should go camping!" he announced excitedly as he practically jumped out of his chair.
Everyone in at the meeting snickered and laughed at Brent's enthusiasm and silliness which showed in his big, green eyes.
"That's a good idea Brent, but what would that do us?" asked Thomas, another Wild Kratts kid. Thomas was a 10 year old boy with short, curly blonde hair and light blue eyes.
"Well, for one, it would get us active, and it would help us get closer to the animals like what Chris and Martin do!" he instructed happily.
"Yeah! And it could be tons of fun!" 10-year-old Mathew- who was the twin of Thomas-added sticking his hands in the pockets of his jeans.
"It's still pretty early in the day. Not even 10am yet. So we can start getting ready and go tonight!"Jenny said standing up. Jenny was 9 and enjoyed adventuring just as the rest of us did if not more.
Brent looked at his friend next to him, "Whatcha think Reef? You goin' too?"
Another girl who was sitting cross legged next to Brent under a tall oak tree. She wore a blue hoodie and some khaki shorts.
Reef was oldest next to Sam who was also 14. They had been WK kids a lot longer than the others and were sort of the leaders of the troop who watched over everyone.
She stood up and looked at her group of friends, "Sure! Sounds awesome! I'm in. What do you say guys? You all want to go camping?"
Everyone in the small group cheered and shouted in eagerness.
"Yes!" Jenny said, first to answer.
"I'm in!" Thomas said from the tree he was hanging in with Samuel who answered, "Me too!"
Kimberly nodded eagerly, nearly making her big purple flower fall out of her long blond hair.
"Totally!" Kayla and Alexis said together, high-fiving each other as well.
"Let's go!" Brent shouted.
"Then let's get ready!" Reef said running off a little way back to their neighborhood motioning for her friends to follow her.
The others ran behind her, their faces all lit up with excitement, enthusiasm, and curiosity as it reflected brightly off their eyes.
"Okay, once we're packed and ready to go, we can meet back at the same tree as usual. Then we go in search for a great place for our camping trip." Reef instructed with a grin.
She was really eager for this camping trip as well as the rest of the young Wild Kratts kids.
"Oh this is gonna be so much fun!" Samuel announced excitedly running off down the sidewalk to his house.
"You bet! Okay see you guys soon!" said Gaven as he left to get packed.
"Yup! See ya later guys!" said Thomas crossing the street with his brother to their home.
"Later!"Alexis shouted, entering the house next door to Sam's.
As everyone went their separate ways for now, they went inside their homes to pack to prepare themselves for the great outdoors.
"Ok everyone! See you later!" Reef shouted before running through her backyard into the house her and her brother were staying in for the summer.
"I'm back!" Reef yelled as she went up the stairs to her room.
"Okay Reef! I'm down in the garage!" came the distant shout of Kile, her older brother.
Reef grabbed her pack and opened it on her bed. She went to her closet and started listing things off as she found them:"Sleeping bag, water canteen, map, compass..." after she had everything in her bag, she turned off the light and jogged back down stairs.
She went through the small kitchen and through the doorway to her garage.
"Hey Kile!"She said waving at her brother.
Kile waved back and said, "So what's up? Back from your meeting with the other kids already?"
Reef nodded her head and said, "I am! And guess what? Brent had this great idea about going camping in the woods around here! I was just getting packed so we could have our camping trip tonight."
Kile seemed a bit concerned about the idea of young children venturing out on their own in the woods might be a bad idea.
"You sure that's such a good idea? You're going without an adult?"
Reef was about to answer when the phone rang.
"I got it!" Reef said as she went into the kitchen and answered it.
"Hey Reef? We may have a small issue." It was Gaven.
"What's up?" Reef asked.
"My mom. She said that she wants an adult to go with us. I called a few others and most of their parents said the same thing: 'we're too young to go out alone' even with Sam and you being older. What are we gonna do, Reef?"
Reef pondered about that for a moment. Even though she and Sam were fourteen years old, she guessed it still didn't suit the mothers of her friends anyway. Then her eyes lit up and she snapped her fingers together in delight.
"That's it!" she said excitedly.
"What's it?" asked Gaven from the other end.
"My older brother! He can come camping with us because he's older than me by a few years! That ought to make them say we could go!" Reef claimed excitedly.
Gaven's eyes twinkled with delight. "That's great! I'm sure my mom would be happy to hear that! Just uh, hopefully your brother says yes." Gaven hoped.
"Don't worry Gaven, he'll come." Reef said reassuring her friend. She was already thinking of ways to persuade him to come.
"I'll see you shortly."
And with that, Reef cut off the connection and went over to Kile.
When she was right behind him, she smiled, "Kile?"
He looked up, "Uh oh. What is it this time? Last time you looked at me like that, I ended up stuck up in that oak tree of yours with Kayla's cat! I'm not going to climb that again, if that's what you're thinking. We can call the fire department."
"It's nothing like that! And besides, you volenteered to do that."
"Being forced up a tree in my pajamas by a bunch of little kids and their puppy faces does not sound like volunteered to me."
Reef gigged and went on,"Anyways, me and the others were just wondering...could you, ya know, take us camping?"
"Reef! I had plans tonight! Besides, aren't you old enough to go by yourselves? At least you and Sam should be."Kile argued.
"Yeah, but their parents said they can't go without another adult with us! And technically you are an adult! Pleeeeeeeease?"
Kile sighed in defeat, "Alright. When did you say we were going?"
"Tonight! So get ready! I'm going to get some supplies from Publix, ok? Thanks so much, Kile!"
Reef put her bag down and put a hundred dollar bill in her pocket, "Be back soon!"
And with that she ran out.
Kile sighed. Reef had a way with betting him to do things he didn't want to, but maybe it would be fun? He got up from his bike and went to go get ready for the camping trip.
As everyone got everything packed up and ready, they eagerly waited at the usual spot as enthusiasm lit up their faces.
"Oh this is going to be so exciting! I'm so glad Kile was able to be our chaperone!" Brent said excitedly.
"Yeah because our moms think we're too young to go venturing out by ourselves, what a bummer that is." Thomas said somewhat angrily as he kicked a fallen leaf that was on the ground.
"Parents, I think they're overly protective. We can take care of ourselves, right guys?" asked Mathew as he looked at his friends.
"Yeah we sure can!" said Kayla in agreement.
A few more kids agreed with Mathew.
"So when can we go? Can we go now?" asked Brent eagerly.
By the time Reef gets back with the snacks and packs them into her bag, Kile is finished packing. They head out through their back gate together and through a small part of the forest to the meeting place and find everyone there.
"They're coming!" Kayla said from her spot up in the tree. She waved and Reef waved back as the approached.
"Hey guys!" Reef said running the last few yards to the group.
"Ok! We're all here and packed! Let's go!"Jenny said excitedly picking up her backpack.
So the group began to venture out into the wooded area that was close to where their meeting spot was and they all grinned.
"We're going camping, we're going camping~!" Brent sang out.
Alexis giggled at Brent's enthusiasm. "Someone's eager for this trip." she said with a smile. She skipped along, every so often stopping and picking up stones and leafs which she put into the pockets of her blue jeans.
"Aren't we all Alexis?" asked Kimberly as she too grinned.
"Hey guys! I found a good spot!" Thomas announced as he pointed to a huge clearing that was in front of them.
Everyone looked at the clearing and their grins widened.
"Wow Tommy! This is great!" Sam said, his brown eyes wide with fascination.
"Great job Thomas! This is a perfect spot!" Reef praised as she ran up to the clearing.
"Awesome!" announced Mathew and he ran after Reef.
Kile walked behind them with his hands in his pockets. He was actually enjoying the hike. He remembered the times he had taken Reef on walks with him on his trips.
"Hey Kile! Could you help us set up camp?"Kayla asked waving him over.
"Yeah. We've got one tent for every two people: Thomas and Mathew, Kayla and Alexis, Brent and Gaven, Kim and Jenny, Sam and I. You're staying in the biggest tent with me and him. It's made a little bigger than the others so we should all fit comfortably."Reef informed. Everyone seemed happy with the pairings.
"Sure, I'd gladly help." Kile said with a smile as he assisted Kayla and the others in setting up a few tents.
Kayla assisted the best she could as well and once the tents were set up, everyone was pleased with the results.
"Thanks Kile!" everyone thanked sincerely.
Kile shrugged his shoulders, "You're welcome."
"Okay so we got the tents set up now what?" asked Mathew.
Kile looked at his watch, "Well, it's still pretty early. It's only two o'clock."
"So, what should we do till later when we set up the campfire?"Kimberly asked.
Suddenly, Gaven's phone started to ring.
Gaven answered, "Hello?"
"Gaven? It's me and Martin. Are you with the other kids?"Chris was on the other end of the line.
Gaven covered the mouth part of his phone, "It's Chris!"
Everyone started whispering to each other. Gaven put his phone on speaker.
"Yes. We're on a camping trip in the oak forest. You know our back woods."
"We need all of you to help us..." Chris started explaining.
Earlier that same day, in the wild Kratts head quarters, everyone appeared to be doing their usual routine. Chris and Martin were out creature-adventuring while the rest of the team was attending their own jobs.
A woman with long, waist-length raven hair and light blue eyes decided to take a call on her Creature Pod to contact the guys on their progress. With the press of the button on her Creature Pod, she saw Martin and Chris on the other end.
They appeared to be hidden behind a tree as they stared out into the pasture.
"How's the investigation coming along guys? Did you find the stallions yet?" she asked curiously as her eyes twinkled with inspiration to make the Mustang Power Disks.
"Not yet Aviva, we've been searching all morning and we still don't have any leads on where they may be." Martin said with the shake of his head.
Chris blocked the sun from penetrating his eyes by shielding them with his hand and squinted his eyes to look out into the open field. He grinned when he spotted the horses.
"Martin! I found them! They're coming into view now!" Chris reported excitedly.
Martin quickly shut off the connection between him and Aviva and jerked his head in the direction of where his younger brother was pointing at. His eyes lit up when he saw the herd of stallions gallop together into the field.
"Wow! Look at that herd! That's quite a pack!" Martin exclaimed with a grin.
Another girl walked into the lab where Aviva was working. She had waist length auburn hair with a pink and white striped headband in it.
"Hey, Aviva! Did the guys find the horse pack yet?" She asked standing next to her.
Aviva turned around in her chair to greet her friend, "Hi Misty! I think they have. I was just talking to Martin a minute ago and heard Chris say he had spotted some. I'm just putting the last few codes into the disks for them." Aviva said typing away.
Suddenly, Aviva's creature pod beeped and a picture of Chris showed up,
"Aviva? Misty?"
"Hey Chris." Misty said smiling. Her smile dropped when she noticed the look on his face, "What's wrong Chris?"
"Hey CK, Misty's right. You look worried." Aviva said holding it so Misty could see as well.
"What's up?"
"It's Donita! She's capturing the horses! We need help, fast!" announced Chris as his concern for the horses increased.
Aviva and Misty gasped out of fright and Aviva said, "Don't worry Chris! Mustang disks are heading your way now!"
"And I am too!" Misty announced determinedly.
"Thanks guys, Chris out." Chris said as he hung up the connection.
Aviva swiped the disks from the desk and threw them at Jimmy as she called out seriously, "Teleport now Jimmy!"
Jimmy was nearby and caught the disks in the air. He tossed them in the teleporter and pressed the red button on his controller.
"Mobile delivery." Jimmy gloated.
The disks teleported to the brothers in no time and Misty was slipping on her hot pink Creature Power Suit.
"Be careful out there Misty!" Aviva called out with a wave.
"I will!" Misty yelled back and she went running out of the Tortuga and towards the brothers as fast as her legs could carry her.
"Dabio! Hurry up! Those wild rats are bound to show any minute! We need to be out of here with all these horses when they do!" Donita Donata ordered.
"Okay Donita! I will get all the horsies!" Dabio answered idiotically while lassoing a few more.
Donita rolled her eyes, "Those other two morons better be keeping their ends of this deal..."
"This is last horsy Donita!" Dabio said proudly.
"Good! Now we can leave! Don't just stand there! Get it into the jet!"Donita said, annoyed.
"Hold it Donita! We'll be taking that horse!" announced Martin as he and Chris decided to leap into action and exposing serious expressions.
Donita and Dabio blinked at Chris and Martin in surprise but Donita soon regained her senses and she glared at Dabio. "Dabio bring the horse to me now." She commanded seriously, pointing to the floor under her feet.
Dabio blinked some more.
"Excuse me Dabio, but do you really want to listen to Donita? She's a crazy messed up woman." Martin stated matter-of-factly.
The horse was scared and it neighed with fright. It began to kick its hind legs, making Chris dodge the hooves of the horse just in the nick of time.
"Whoa! That was close!" Chris said with relief.
The horse began to run around with Dabio on top of it, and it desperately wanted him off.
"Dabio you bafoon! Control that wild beast!" Donita yelled.
"Me trying Donita! Horsy not stopping!" Dabio responded holding on for dear life.
"And we'll be taking the rest of the Mustangs if you don't mind." Martin said as he came up to Donita.
Misty finally came to the field where Chris and Martin were last and she breathed heavily for air. She however refused to take a break.
She saw Donita and Dabio trying to confine that poor horse and she ran as fast as she could towards them, ignoring the pain in her ribs.
Dabio was finally thrown off of the horse and the horse snorted in relief.
"Ugh! Do I have to do everything myself?" Donita yelled in irritation. She pulled out her suspended animation remote and froze the horse in its place.
However she had forgotten about Misty for the moment and got tackled to the ground.
"Hey!" Donita yelped. She and Misty wrestled for the remote.
"Give me the remote!" Misty yelled as she struggled to reach for it.
"Ha! In your dreams!" Donita announced as she tried to keep the remote out of Misty's reach.
"Okay I'm going in to rescue the other horses, Martin you should stay out here with Misty. She could use your help if needed." Chris instructed.
Martin nodded and went over to help Misty. Chris placed the Mustang disk inside his Creature Power Suit and gently touched the suspended horse. A green light engulfed Chris and he soon altered into a horse himself. Chris grinned and galloped inside Donita jet.
Donita noticed this and yelled out to Dabio saying, "Dabio you doof! Stop Chris from getting all the horses!"
Dabio regained composure and dusted himself off. He saluted Donita and ran inside after Chris.
"Duh, ok Donita!"
Chris ran down the hall, looking in each room he passed. C'mon! Where are the other horses?" Chris said to himself.
Near the end of the hall was a closed door with a padlock. Chris could hear the sound of the upset horses grow louder as he got closer.
"Here horsy horsy! Come to Dabio!" Dabio said walking up to Chris, calling him as if he were a dog.
Dabio threw the rope around Chris' neck.
"Hey! Let go!" Chris yelled pulling back, trying to break the rope.
Dabio stopped and gasped in astonishment, "Horsy can talk?"
Chris used this moment to kick Dabio back a few feet. Then he turned to the lock and looked it over. It looked like he needed some sort of key.
"Oh, c'mon! How I'm I suppose to open that without the key?"
He thought for a minute and just decided to bust it with his hooves. The lock on the door malfunctioned, unlocking in the process. With the rope still around his neck, Chris rushed up to a large pen that held about 20 to 30 of the wild horses in it.
"Oh no! Hold on, I'll get you out of there!" Chris called out to the horses as he tried to unlock the lock that was preventing the horses from escaping.
"Oh great another lock. This one ad a number pad on it. Let's see if I can undo the code..." Chris said with thought as he rubbed his chin and examined the lock.
The horses that were trapped inside desperately wanted to be free from the large pen that confined them. They neighed and snorted and a few watched as Chris tried to unlock the lock from outside the pen.
Misty and Donita were still going at it as Donita was on top of Misty this time. Martin divided his attention between the horse that was suspended and the fight between Misty and Donita. He was unsure if he should interfere or not.
He was also thinking of assisting Chris into saving the horses but he didn't know exactly what to do.
"Why must you do this to the horses Donita?" Misty wondered with a grunt as she tried to push Donita off of her.
Martin decided that it was time he helped Misty out. He grabbed Donita by her arms and pulled her off of Misty.
Misty got up and grabbed Donita's remote, "Thanks Martin. You keep her busy! I'm going in to help Chris!"
She pressed a button to unfreeze the stallion, which took of the second it realized it could move again. Misty, seeing the stallion take off broke the remote and ran inside. The horse ran off a little way and suddenly stopped. It turned back, glaring at Donita. Then it charged at top speed towards her.
Martin realized he was still holding onto Donita, and therefore in its path as well.
"Uh oh..." they said simultaneously.
The horse head butted the two of them and they went soaring through the air. Martin went soaring further than Donita however and collided into a tree trunk.
"Ouch!" Martin said as he rubbed his head gingerly.
Misty ran inside the jet, calling out Chris's name. "Chris? Chris where are you?"
Chris could have kicked the door down, but he didn't want to startle the horses and cause a stampede. He was still in his Mustang form as he soon felt something heavy on top of him. He blinked and looked over his shoulder to see Dabio on top of him. Chris neighed and tried to kick Dabio off of him, but Dabio stayed on.
"Slow down horsey! Donita needs you!" Dabio said as he tried to reach for the rope which still dangled from Chris's neck.
"No she doesn't now get off of me Dabio!" Chris yelled as he continued to try and get Dabio off of him.
Back outside, Donita had been pushed all the way back by her jet.
When she recovered, she stood up, "Ugh! Fine! Keep your horse! I have all the rest with me in my jet!"
With that, she ran inside to take her leave.
Misty ran down the hallway towards the sound of yelling and the horses.
When she got to the room, she nearly got knocked over by Dabio who went flying past her after being thrown off by Chris.
"Ha!"Chris said in triumph, "Now to free those horses!"
Before she could take in the scene before her, Chris had opened the cage and a stampede of horses ran out.
"Ah!" Misty yelped she put her back against the wall by the door as they all rushed out, Chris along with them. He did notice Misty in all the ciaos. When the horses had passed, Misty looked back in the room.
Dabio had somehow gotten backup and stopped about 12 of the horses from leaving the cage.
From the front of the jet she heard Donita yelling,"Dabio! Get us out of here!"
"Coming Donita!"
He locked it up and turned to leave.
Misty hurriedly looked around for a place to hide. She didn't want him to know she was there. She found a closet full of coats and manikins and hides in it.
She listened and heard Dabio pass her. She let out a sigh of relief. After a minute she decided it was clear and was about to leave when she heard the jet engine roar to life.
"Uh oh. Not good" she said to herself.
Chris came out with the horses and noticed his brother pushing himself up from the impact of the wild horse from earlier. He galloped over and asked his older brother, "Martin! Bro you okay?"
Martin gingerly rubbed his head and said somewhat in pain, "I will be, man that Mustang really can head butt ouch."
He looked at Chris and noticed that Misty wasn't out of the jet yet. "Dude where's Misty? Is she still in the jet?" He asked.
"Oh shoot, Misty's in there?" Chris yelled out with disbelief.
He turned around and saw that the jet was ascending towards the sky and took off in the opposite direction.
"Misty!" Martin and Chris called out in unison.
Chris stomped his hoof onto the grass and said seriously, "This isn't good! We need her out of there!"
Inside the jet, Donita and Dabio were in the main room with the pink couch. "I can't believe you let most of the horses escape Dabio!" She yelled out angrily.
Dabio scratched his head and said dumbfounded, "Duh, not every horsey got out Donita. We still have few horsies left."
Donita raised an eyebrow and placed her hand at her hip and asked, "Oh really? How many horses do we have then?"
Dabio stared blankly at Donita and said, "Uh twelve Donita."
"Twelve huh? That should be enough for our plan to work. Dabio, fly us to the oak forest. That's where we'll meet with Zach and Gourmand." Donita instructed.
"Yes Donita." replied Dabio as he left the room.
What Donita and Dabio didn't realize was that Misty managed to get in the room without being detected and she heard everything. She gasped silently to herself and decided to contact Chris.
"Chris! C'mon pick up!" Misty said into her creature pod as loud as she dared.
Finally, a picture appeared on the small screen, "Misty? I'm so sorry! I didn't even know you were on the jet! Are you ok?"Chris asked worriedly.
"I'm ok. What about the horses?"
"Their fine. I'm worried about you right now. Is there anything you can tell us? Any information that can help us find you?"
"Donita said that they were heading to the oak forest. In North America I think. She managed to capture a few while you were leaving."
" She did?" Chris sighed, "Alright, well we're on our way. See you soon. Chris out." He signed off.
"Martin, Misty says their heading for the old growth forest in North America. The one we usually visit." Chris stated seriously.
He deactivated his suit and started walking back to the Tortuga, "We have to go help her."
Martin grabbed his brother's arm, "Hold up Chris. I want to help Misty and the other horses too. But the Tortuga racing a jet? We won't make it in time. We need help".
Chris and Martin thought for a moment.
"Who do we know near there that can help us?" Chris asked.
Martin thought about it for a moment.
Then his face lit up, "I know who! The kids! The wild Kratts kids of North America! They're the closest and even camping there right now. Quick, call the kids and tell them about our problem".
Chris took out his Creature Pod and decided to call Gaven. Once he heard a "Hello?" from the other end, Chris said seriously, "Gaven? We need you and the other kids help..."
TBC...
