A clear sunny day casts over the Atlantic Ocean as a Sperm Whale rose to the surface like a great submarine and blows a strong jet of mist from his blowhole. And then the Tortuga flies above him as he then dives under.

Inside in the HQ room, Chris and Martin had most of the Creature Power Discs lay out on the floor as Jimmy sat by them eating a plate of chocolate chip cookies. And was next to Martin, and Aviva and Koki were sitting on the electronic table.

"Okay, how bout this?" Martin suggested. "I'll make you an offer ya can't refuse. I'll trade ya this one, for that one." He brought his Bat-Eared Fox Power Disc and pointed to Chris' Great White Shark Power Disc.

"No way!" Chris protested placing his right hand over it. "The Great White Shark torpedo swimming power is like my favorite one. I have to give me about 5 Creature Power Discs for this baby."

"It wasn't getting that bite force jaw power either." Aviva said.

"Yeah, 2 tons of pressure." Koki said. "That guy can bite through a steel chain." She pushed a button as the big screen showed a swimming Great White Shark."

"Okay, look you like to swim, right? Well check it out." Chris said held out his Sperm Whale Power Disc. "I'll give you this Sperm Whale Power for..."

"Honey Guide Power?" Martin brought out his Honey Guide Power Disc.

"Not what I was thinking." Chris said.

"Worth a try." Martin said.

"I'll do it for..." Chris said wondering through the Lion, Cheetah, Gazelle, Blowfish, and Lynx Power Disc. "...Your Lynx snow-walking power."

"Oooh, that's hurts!" Martin said. "I love that snow-walking power. Hmm."

"Chipperoo?" Jimmy offered a cookie.

They turned to him.

"What? I always eat when I'm nervous." Jimmy said.

Then a ding was heard.

"Hold that thought." Jimmy said and got up.

"Jimmy Z, how many of those chocolate chipperoo cookies are you gonna ask?" Koki asked as he ran by to the microwave.

"102 and 3 quarters is my record." Jimmy said grabbing a plate of fresh cookies.

"Well, they are his Grandma Z's famous recipe." Aviva said as she and Koki grab a cookie from his plate as his rush by.

"Okay, ready." Jimmy said sat by the brothers.

"Oh, I would sure like to dive deeper with Sperm Whale Power." Martin said.

Then beeping was heard, as Koki brought out her tablet and looks through it.

It showed a map of the Tortuga as it was flying towards a group of islands many miles west of Portugal.

Known as the Azores.

"Azores islands are coming up." Koki announced.

The Azores is an autonomous region of Portugal, an archipelago in the Mid-Atlantic. The islands are characterized by dramatic landscapes, fishing villages, green pastures and hedgerows of blue hydrangeas.

And the Azores is the perfect gathering place for a famous creature.

"Wonder what we got down there?" Koki wondered. "Guys?" She turns to the others.

However, they were busy with the trade.

"Come on, what do ya say?" Chris inquired. "This is the only Sperm Whale disc we have. And it's a valuable one. And we haven't used it much yet."

Martin thinks for a moment.

"I'll... do it!" Martin grabbing it.

And he held out the Lynx Power Disc as Chris grabs it.

"Nice doing business with ya, bro." Chris said as they both took their new Power Discs.

"Boy, I can't wait to try it out." Martin said.

Amber then sniffs the disc.

"Ya like it, don't ya?" Martin chuckled.

Then Amber playfully bites down on the disc trying to take it from him.

"No, no, Amber." Martin said pulling it. "It's not a chew toy. Let go."

They continued their tug-of-war match as then the disc slipped from Amber's teeth as Martin fell back a little as the disc slipped from his hand.

"Oops." Martin said.

The disc then bounced off the wall and then hits a button as a side door opens to outside as the disc bounced on the floor towards the doorway.

"Oh, no! Sperm Whale Disc on the loose!" Martin cried. "Save it!"

Aviva quickly rushed towards and made lunge towards it, she hits the floor but missed the grab as the disc bounced out from the Tortuga.

"NO!" They all yelled.

They all looked out as the disc fell towards the ocean below.

"No, that's our only Sperm Whale disc!" Aviva cried. "We have to get it back."

"Okay, you get the Amphi-Sub ready." Chris said. "I'll try to find with Dolphin Power." He brought out his Dolphin Power Disc.

Half an hour later, Aviva and Martin were the Amphi-Sub as they looked for the missing Power Disc. They were fortunate enough that the area where it landed in the water was near the shelf of the island and not in the ocean sea. But they also found some Sperm Whales around the bay.

Most Sperm Whales in the Atlantic gather here in these warm waters to have calves. And it's an area where males come to challenge each other to mate.

the Amphi-Sub slowly swims by passing 2 Sperm Whales not wanting to startle them.

"Okay, now go easy." Martin said. "Easy. Last thing we want to startle them."

"Don't worry, Martin." Aviva assured. "I built this Amphi-Sub pretty tough. Though not as tough as the Hippo Sub, but still."

"Even to a 60 ton whale, with a jaw armed with 8-inched teeth?" Martin inquired watching a Sperm Whale with a gaped mouth.

"Mmm... maybe." Aviva said having doubts. "So, let's just find the disc quickly then."

They then swam off as they soon came across a family pod of Sperm Whales.

"Okay, we gotta ease right into the pod." Martin said. "Only females with their calves. Bulls normally go it alone, but can but in small groups." he then grabs his Creaturepod. "Chris, come in."

"Any sign of the disc?"

"Nothing yet." Chris said as he was in the Dolphin Power Suit searching along the shallow seabed. "Has to be somewhere."

Meanwhile, Martin and Aviva were still looking for the disc as then suddenly the Amphi-Sub was bumped.

"What was that?" Aviva wondered.

And then swimming in front of them was a Sperm Whale calf. And Martin then recognized them.

"Bumper, is that you?" Martin smiled. "How you've been, buddy?"

Bumper is a young calf they've met during their Whale of a Squid adventure a while back. The brothers followed them during a deep sea hunt, but then ran into a Giant Squid as it snatched Bumper, and soon was in a battle with his mother. The legendary battle of the Sperm Whale and the Giant Squid has never been witness before, and as they followed them, the Amphi-Sub soon shuts down and sinks. And was soon getting crushed by the water pressure, but Aviva's robot arm quickly saves them.

Soon, they headed back down with Sperm Whale and Giant Squid Power. But shortly after they found them again, Bumper's mother was then caught in a drifting ghost net as she sinks down. They went to saver her, but then a Colossal Squid appeared and went after Bumper. Chris went to save him, but got caught himself as Martin was left sinking holding on to the whale and nears an underwater volcanic field. But soon joins up with Chris by a volcanic rock.

But the Colossal Squid snatched Martin as well, but then a sonic click stuns the squid as then a large bull Sperm Whale appeared. And soon the 2 were in an epic battle, and soon the whale won as he swallowed the squid whole. And the brothers quickly got the mother whale to the surface just in time.

Then, Bumper's mother appeared.

Then, another Sperm Whale mother and calf appeared. But the other calf was about 2 years old.

"Whoa, these whales are amazing." Aviva said.

"Yeah, and Sperm Whales are very social." Martin said. "Females have close family bonds they last for live."

Female Sperm Whales are also known to watch calves that aren't theirs while the mothers dive down. Family pods are made up of mothers, calves, aunts, sisters, daughters, even grandmothers. And are among the most social of whales.

"Hey, where's Bumper?" Aviva wondered.

Martin looks through the window, and saw him by the seabed.

"There!" Martin said.

Then Bumper started digging through the sand with his lower jaw as if he was trying to dig something out.

"What's he doing?" Martin wondered.

Bumper continues playing in the sand, and then grabs the Sperm Whale Power Disc and swims off.

"The disc!" Aviva said." Bumper found the disc!"

"Let's go!" Martin said.

They followed Bumper for 10 minutes as they near the surface.

"Follow that whale!" Martin said.

Then Bumper drops the disc near the edge of the sea cliff and swims to the surface.

"He's going up for air." Martin said. "Now's our chance!"

"Hold on tight, we're going in!" Aviva said.

They soon got next to the Power Disc, and Martin slips his arm through slot to grab it. But then suddenly the Amphi-Sub felt it was struck by a semi-truck as they hit the floor.

Then Martin got up and looks outside.

"I don't believe it." Martin gasped.

Outside, there was 2 bull Sperm Whales facing each other as they challenged each other for the rights with the females. It was a young bull against a 55 year old veteran.

"It's 2 bulls challenging each other." Martin said.

The young bull whale near them turns as his fluke hits the side of the Amphi-Sub knocking it aside as Martin hits Aviva.

Then suddenly the 2 whales charged towards each other with open jaws and crashed into each other as they locked jaws. And the 2 mighty leviathans clashed each other with jaws and teeth.

"We gotta get outta here." Martin said.

"I think we can slip around and get the disc." Aviva said.

"What?!" Martin exclaimed as if she was crazy as the 2 colossus ram each other again. "We can't get between these 2."

"We have to try." Aviva said.

Soon, the battle of the 2 sea monsters continues as the 2 bull locked jaws as they got to the surface as Chris appeared.

"Those jaws are like massive spears jabbing at each other!" Chris said. "It's like 2 freight trains ramming each other head-on. Are you guys getting out of there?!"

"I'm working on it, dude!" Martin said.

Then one of the tail flukes from the 2 bulls hits the side of the Amphi-Sub as it was thrown back.

"Aviva, we gotta retreat!" Martin cried as the Amphi-Sub rolled.

"Not until we get the disc." Aviva stubbornly said. "That's the point."

Then suddenly the Amphi-Sub felt it was struck by a freight train as a lower jaw of one of the bull whales pierce through the wall of the sub like butter.

"No, that's the point!" Martin said as the jaw pulls back as water pours in.

Then suddenly another jaw pierce through the wall behind Martin and between his legs as Martin jumps in surprise as Aviva caught him.

Then the Amphi-Sub was struck again as a fluke hits the windshield as it was thrown back like a baseball. And the Amphi-Sub was quickly flooding as the windshield was heavily cracked.

"Now are you ready to get outta here?" Martin asked.

Then another jaw pierce through the roof of the sub as Aviva realized she has underestimated the true power of the Sperm Whale. Despite being gentle giants, these underwater beasts are true sea monsters with a true force to be reckon with. Just like how she learnt with the hippos during their Race for the Hippo Disc adventure.

"Yeah, now's good." Aviva said. "Initiating emergency exit." She pushed a button.

The Amphi-Sub then quickly swims off with the remaining power as the 2 whales continue fighting.

At the surface, Chris watches as the older bull soon defeats the younger one.

"Whoa, it's a win!" Chris said.

Then suddenly the Amphi-Sub surfaced and quickly heads to the shoreline of the island. And Chris swam over and deactivated and rushed over as the damaged windshield opened as the flooded waters pours out along with Martin.

"Okay, okay, I get it." Aviva said stepping out of the wrecked sub. "Sperm Whales are true forces to be reckon with. I can see why a Sperm Whale was chosen for the story of Moby Dick."

"Yeah, but how are we gonna get the disc now?" Chris wondered.

"Hmm?" Martin pondered.

Then suddenly, a spout was heard as they turned and saw Bumper. And then he flips his head out and had the Sperm Whale Power Disc in his mouth.

"Bumper, you found the disc!" Martin said and laughed. "Way to go."

He then swam over to Bumper, and grabs the disc.

"Yes!" Aviva cheered.

"I've been wanted to try this out." Martin said and inserted the Power Disc into his suit.

And then he touches Bumper and pressed the activation button, and soon activates with Sperm Whale Power.

And soon they swam off, and soon found Bumper's mother. And nearby was the 2 year old calf and his mother.

But were unaware, that trouble was brewing.

Some distance away, a team of Killer Whales that have been following the social chatter of the Sperm Whales for several miles are beginning to close in.

If they isolated the young whale or Bumper.

They'll eat them alive.

Martin continues swimming with Bumper as the 2 year old calf nearby was with them. But then one of the Killer Whales emerges from the blue at over 30 miles per hour, and then takes a bite out of the right fluke.

"Huh?" Martin frowned turning to the commotion.

With blood in the water, the frenzy begins.

Soon the rest of the Killer Whales appeared as they started mobbed the injured calf, Martin and Bumper.

"Guys, come in!" Martin said.

Then his cockpit screen shows Chris and Aviva.

"What's wrong?" Chris asked.

"A team of Orcas are attacking us!" Martin said.

"Oh, no." Chris said. "Orcas are major enemies to Sperm Whales. Even to calves."

Then Bumper's mother and the injured calf's mother appeared as they got between the 3 and the Killer Whales.

They continue mobbing the group as 1 Orca begins to swim towards them, but then suddenly changes course as a Sperm Whale appeared as the injured calf's pod appeared from a deep dive.

The pod arrives, but the danger is not over.

They instinctively form a protective rosette around the injured calf along with Bumper and Martin which they thought he was a calf.

As the females gathered in a ring with their tails to stop the Orcas, one of them swimming fast rams the side of one of the females.

But the Killer Whales are relentless.

The Killer Whales continue swimming around the Sperm Whales and one of them swims at 30 miles per hour and slams his body against one of the Sperm Whales.

They can kill entire pod if they wanted too.

But not today.

Then suddenly, emerging from the blue came a large Sperm Whale covered in scars as he swam towards the pods.

Then suddenly, out of the possible he lets out a deep roar as it was enough to frighten the Killer Whales.

A full grown bull has arrived.

Then Chris and Aviva suddenly dropped in as they were in their wet suits, and saw what was happening.

Male Sperm Whales are 30% larger than, and carry over twice the weight. Unlike the females, they possess a formidable row of teeth.

Martin quickly joins Chris and Aviva as they watched the bull chase off the Killer Whales.

And bull Sperm Whales are one of the few creatures that can deter a pod of Killer Whales.

"Whoa." Chris said astonished. "That is a rarely seen moment."

He's 1 whale too many for the killers.

"Hey, wait a second." Martin said. "I think I know that whale. I think it's the bull that saved us from the Colossal Squid."

It's quite possible that the bull might be Bumper's father.

They then watched as the injured calf swam over to his savior and rubs his body against his.

For the first time, the young whale meets the giant he will 1 day become.

His life, is already changing.

Then, the 3 looked back over to the pod as then 2 females moved aside as then a newly born Sperm Whale calf was seen. And was barely 5 minutes old.

In the center of the melee, his mother has given birth.

A tiny sister.

"Aww!" Aviva said adorned.

They watched as the newborn turns to her extended family and chittered with small clicks.

"Welcome to the world." Chris said.

"Looks like her older brother is now beginning his ocean odyssey." Martin said turning to the injured calf.

The young bull will no longer have the constant protection of his mother.

He will have to start to face up to the dangers of the deep, on his own.

The young whale then turns to Chris, Martin and Aviva.

"Hey, that's what I'll name you." Martin said. "Odyssey. A young whale, beginning a big journey."

Later towards sunset, the Tortuga rests in Sea Turtle Mode as they were on the platform and Amber was in the water swimming near it.

And then Bumper rose up as she turns to him. And he even allowed her to climb onto his back.

Chris and Martin watched as it's the first time that a dinosaur and a whale meet.

"Guess their already friends." Chris said.

"Yeah." Martin said.

Then Bumper swam over to the platform, and Amber hops off his back as he turns away and swims off.

"See ya later, buddy." Chris said waving bye to the calf.

"Take care, it's a big ocean out there." Martin said.

Bumper swam off as he soon joins back with his mother, and the 2 swam off.

Author's Note:

This chapter is based on Race for the Hippo Disc.

The Killer Whale attack is from a scene of 2006 documentary Ocean Odyssey. And bull Sperm Whales are actually known to drive off Killer Whale pods attack pods of females if they show up in time.

I think one of my favorite gadgets from Wild Kratts is the Creature Power Discs, just as cool with the Power Suits. I think my personally favorite is the Sperm Whale Power Disc.

And there's also a toy line of Wild Kratts that I have a collection of them, 48 I think it was on the last count. Most of them I got from Toys R Us before it closed down.

Also today marks the 75th anniversary of the Hiroshima Bomb drop.
