2 days later, they were all relaxing on the beach having a day off.
"Ah. Nothing like a nice relaxing day off on the beach." Aviva said laying on a lounge chair with some shades and in her beach outfit which is a yellow tank shirt, blue jean shorts, 3 bracelets, necklace with a small white shell, and yellow sandals with blue straps.
"Yep. This is something I needed." Koki said also in a lounge chair in her beach outfit with was the same shirt but with no sleeves, and similar yellow jean shorts, and red sandals with gray straps.
"Yeah. And the sand is nice and warm today." Jimmy said.
They looked over and saw Jimmy buried under a layer of sand. He was also in his beach outfit which was a white T-Shirt with the same video game character on his sweater, and gray shorts with a red stripe.
Close by in the water, Chris and Martin were as Amber was in the water as well. But was staying close to the shore where still can still stand. But already she was quickly learning how to swim.
And they were amazed of how she was doing it. Amber tucks her arms as she uses her legs and feet to swim, and looking from above, she almost looked like of how a Monitor Lizard would swim through the water.
"It's amazing how Amber can already swim." Martin said.
"Yeah, it takes most human kids to swim at 6 years old." Chris said.
"I guess she's the first dinosaur swim, right?" Aviva said.
"Actually, some dinosaurs can swim." Chris said.
"Really?" Koki frowned.
"Yeah, most scientists agreed that like most other animals, dinosaurs can swim just as well." Martin said. "Swimming across rivers, deep channels if they have too. As well as cooling off on hot days."
"You don't think that a dinosaur from Isla Nublar could swim to the mainland, do you?" Jimmy asked.
"Not likely." Martin said. "I mean, there's 120 miles of Pacific Ocean between Isla Nublar and Costa Rica.
"It's unlikely to make it through ocean currents, storms, sharks." Chris said counting his fingers. "All of those along with exhaustion would get them first long before reaching the mainland."
"I guess we have no trouble at all." Aviva said.
Then suddenly a shadow flew over them.
"Huh?" Chris frowned.
They looked up and saw a private jet with a pink color, and dark pink underside. And with 2 large thrusters on each end of it's wings.
And the jet flies over them and towards the forest as they were concern as they know that jet.
"Uh-oh." Koki said. "You recognized that jet?"
"Uh-huh." The others nodded.
"Not good." Martin said.
"We better go check it out." Aviva said.
They then rushed over through the trees.
Before long, they peaked their heads out from the bushes and found the private jet as it has already landed in a clearing of the forest.
And outside of the jet was 2 familiar figures to them.
One is a mid-aged woman of noticeably high stature with maroon hair, golden eyes, and tan skin. She wore a 60's or 70's outfit with a reddish-pink shirt adorned with spots, rolled up sleeves to her elbows, along with long, blue-green earrings and umber brown pants which are wore up to the waist. And in high-heels.
With her was a thick upper body man with a slim under body. Muscular and big arms, blonde hair, light blue eyes, turquoise t-shirt with a symbol in the middle, white pants with a brown belt. A brown band on his right wrist and gay dress shoes.
The Wild Kratts knew them because they are another villain.
Donita Donata and Dabio.
Like Zach, they too use animals. But instead of robots, Donita has a pashion to use live animals in her fashion line as a fashion designer. She uses Pose Beam Balls trapping animals of her interest into suspended animation. And Dabio was her henchman.
They're both almost like a version of Yzma and Kronk from 2000 Disney film The Emperor's New Groove.
The Wild Kratts had several encounters with Donita, like when she tried to use Draco Lizards for her line and kidnapped Martin. Catching Fireflies to turn them into a dress, and captured Martin in Firefly Power. Turning a Basilisk Lizard named Splash-Claw into a hat, a Cheetah named Blur into a shawl. Making a gown from Birds of Paradise as Dabio even captured Aviva in a Lawe's Parotia Power Suit mistaking her for a real bird. Also Golden Orb Weaver Spiders to collect spider silk for a dress. Almost used seahorses for earrings not decided not to after seeing them in yellow. A Blowfish as a crown, and many more.
"What's Donita and Dabio doing here?" Martin wondered.
"Whatever it is, not good." Chris said.
"Shh!" Koki shushed.
They remained quiet as they listened.
"So, what are we looking today, Donita?" Dabio asked.
"Well, Dabio." Donita said. "I just had an interested on these beautifully striped snakes." She showed him a notepad drawing of a Scarlet Kingsnake.
"Ooh, pretty colors." Dabio said.
"Indeed." Donita said. "I plan to turn them into bracelets and headbands, anything that says fashion." She then hands him a canister with a vacuum nozzle. "Now. Get out there, and collect as many of those snakes as you can find."
"Yes, Donita." Dabio saluted.
Dabio then runs off to find some Scarlet Kingsnakes.
And Donita sat down on a lounge chair and got to work on more designs.
And the Wild Kratts ducked down behind the bushes.
"She's using Scarlet Kingsnakes as bracelets?" Aviva said in disbelief. "That is so wrong."
"I know." Martin said agreeing with her. "I mean, these snakes have beautiful colors but they're not much to be jewelry."
"But how are we gonna stop, Donita?" Koki wondered. "She'll pose beam us the second she sees us."
They all think of a way as then Martin noticed a basking Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake a few yards away.
"I think I might got something." Martin said. "Okay, team huddle. Here's what we're gonna do."
They got in a team huddle as they whispered.
Meanwhile, Dabio has already captured a dozen Scarlet Kingsnakes, and even a few Scarlet Snakes which he didn't noticed since they looked similar.
"112, 113..." Dabio counted as his vacuum sucked 2 more snakes.
"Missed one." Chris's voice out.
"Huh?" Dabio frowned looking behind him.
Then slithering into view was a shadow of a large snake as a rattling sound was heard.
Dabio then nervously blubbered and quivered as in the shadows was Chris in the Rattlesnake Power Suit appeared and slithered off as Dabio saw movement and turns as he nervously whimpered.
Then dropping behind him was Martin also with Rattlesnake Power hanging from a tree branch appeared. And then he opens the bottom lid of the jar as the snakes slithered across his arm and on him. Once they were all on him, Martin quickly heads up.
Dabio nervously blubbered as he looked behind him and saw a shadow.
"G-G-G-G-G-G-G-Giant snake!" Dabio cried and rushed off.
Then Chris slithered out from the bushes and Martin joins next to him and chuckled.
Back by her jet, Donita was still designing on her snake jewelry.
And then Dabio rushed over to her.
"There's a giant snake, Donita!" Dabio cried.
"What?" Donita exclaimed. "Hmm..."
She looks around but saw nothing, and then she saw the jar was empty.
"Where are your snakes?" Donita demanded.
"Huh? Bu-Bu... I... I... was..." Dabio stuttered in disbelief.
"Don't make excuses, Dabio." Donita said dismissively. "'A giant snake took them". You lost your snakes. "Here, hold this!" She holds out another pack with Scarlet Kingsnakes and took Dabio's pack. "I'll fill this one myself."
Donita heads off to find more snakes, and Dabio straps the full one on.
And then Chris appeared and poked his right shoulder.
"Huh?" Dabio frowned.
Then suddenly Dabio zoomed off like a shot with a fright. "AHHHH!"
Somewhere ahead of him, Martin peaked from behind a bush hearing Dabio screaming.
And then he brought out his long snake body as then Dabio tripped and hits the ground.
Then Chris appeared and opens the jar as the snakes slithered onto him.
"Now this is how you collect snakes." Donita said.
Dabio groaned as Donita sucks another Scarlet Kingsnake into her jar and turns to him.
"Dabio!" Donita narrowed her eyes and went up to him. "You lost those snakes too?"
"Uh, the giant snake took them." Dabio said.
"Uggh!" Donita growled.
And then she noticed something.
"Hmm, what's this?" Donita wondered seeing a large line on the ground. "Hmm..." She thought of something.
Further away from them, the Wild Kratts were laughing a bit.
"Dabio should've seen his face." Aviva laughed.
"That was almost too easy!" Chris said.
"Yeah, and we did it without being-" Jimmy said.
Then suddenly a pink beam hits Jimmy as he froze with a panicked look and glowed pink. And before they realized what happened, Chris, Martin, Aviva and Koki were then hit as they then froze and couldn't move excepting glancing their eyes.
"Well, well, well." Donita said stepping out from the bushes along with Dabio. "It took me long enough to realize who was behind this."
Chris gulped.
"Well thank you for gathering up all of our snakes again." Donita said smugly and cackled.
Then she and Donita sucked up all the snakes, unknowingly to them, Amber was hidden in a bush and saw what happened as the 2 soon finished.
Then Donita and Dabio laughed as then suddenly Amber lunges into Donita's face as Donita was blinded as she struggled to pull the Raptor off her.
"Amber?" Martin said through his teeth.
Dabio then rushed in to help, and grabs Amber and manages to pull her off. But then Amber quickly got her and attacks his face as Dabio struggled to pull her off. She then jumps off as Dabio tries to smack her but ends up smacking himself. And Amber landed on the Pose Beam ball.
"Get that lizard!" Donita yelled.
Dabio then grabs a big branch from the ground, and then swung it towards Amber. But Amber quickly jumps off the ball as Dabio ends up hitting the Pose Beam ball. And it hits the ground and broke into pieces.
The moment it was crushed, the Wild Kratts were quickly free.
"We're free!" Koki cheered.
"Let's get outta here!" Aviva said.
"Amber, come on!" Chris said.
They quickly rushed as Amber turns to them, and then leaps off Donita's face knocking her over as she leaps onto Dabio as he trips over a log and hits the ground. And Amber quickly rushed off into the bushes as they disappeared.
"One of these days... They'll pay." Donita growled.
Later towards night, they were out in the shallow water as the Tortuga was in Sea Turtle and made sure Donita hasn't followed them.
"Wow, who would've thought Amber was the hero for us today?" Martin said scratching under Amber's chin.
"Yeah, it's usually us who saves you guys." Aviva said.
"Maybe Amber might 1 day save us again." Koki said.
"At least we stopped Donita for now." Chris said.
"I wonder where we should go next." Jimmy wondered.
"Any chance we can talk about that tomorrow?" Aviva asked and then yawned. "I'm a little beat."
And soon, the Tortuga's lights turned off as they went to bed.
Author's Note:
And here's Amber's first encounter with Donita and Dabio.
I felt like I need Donita for look for an animal with bright coloration. And so, I thought of Scarlet Kingsnakes. I mean, who knows, if they actually did an episode on Scarlet Kingsnakes, they might have Donita in it.
I've also added a reference scene from Secrets of the Spider's Web to humor things a little.
And For those who love African wildlife, I'll do 1 more chapter before they head to Africa.
And you will enjoy what I have in store.
Here's a hint for the next chapter.
Amber will meet a young whale, who will grow up to become the biggest toothed predator to have ever live.
