Martin blinked, and slowly turned his head to look beside him. There, sat the lioness, and the cub, both looking straight up at him sadly. Martin froze and didn't say a word, he thought since he was in a panic, maybe his mind was getting to him.

"You are Martin Kratt? Aren't you?" said the lioness as she stood and walked in front of Martin. This, Martin could not comprehend, the lioness, was speaking to him, mouth moving and everything. Martin still was frozen, and seemed somewhat terrified, as he held lifeless Chris close to him.

Though even in his frightened state, he was still thinking of names for this lioness, and finally spoke, "Your name should be Scary... or Kitty..." The lioness blankly stared, and answered;

"Blah...Scary isn't a very nice name for me... and I think you've already named an animal Kitty..."

Martin nodded, still frightened, but not as frightened, "Well... what about Kitty Carlo then?"

The lioness nodded, "I guess that should work for a nickname..."

"Nickname?... Do you already have a name?" asked Martin, surprised.

And right before his eyes, the lioness transformed into a beautiful young woman with her blond hair in a ponytail, and shining blue eyes. "Hi, my name's Laura."

And with that Martin fainted, still with Chris in his arms.

Kitty looked down at the cub, "Great... now I have to carry both of them..." The cub seemed to nod slowly.

Soon, Martin woke up in his bed, in his room, in the Tortuga. He sat up and stretched, happy to know everything was just a dream. But, when he got up, he noticed he was still wearing his clothes, not his pj's, and his clothes had a bit of blood on them. His eyes widened as he ran out of his room, tripping over Jimmy Z, and landing on him.

Jimmy groaned, "Your tripping over everything today Martin, including me..."

Martin smiled nervously and got off of Jimmy and stood looking around the Tortuga main central. He didn't see Aviva or Koki. "Um...Jimmy, where is everyone?"

Jimmy pointed to Chris's room, "They are mending to Chris... he was hit pretty good... They are also talking to this weird girl we found guarding over you two when we landed the Tortuga...like, she said you fainted." Jimmy laughed a little and ate his piece of pizza, as Martin groaned and pushed pass him to Chris's room.

When he entered the room, he knew Chris's injury must've been pretty bad. Chris's room, didn't even look like his room any more, it looked like a hospital room with all the doctor machinery stuff around. Chris lay motionless on his bed, shirt off and chest covered in white bandages. Aviva sat beside him reading over a notepad as Koki stood in the corner questioning Kitty.

Martin blankly stared at everything, and especially at Kitty. Could she have really turned into a realistic lion? Without a creature power suit? Koki was apparently was trying to figure out the same questions, because Kitty must of told them she could do it.

The first one to notice Martin of course, was Kitty Carlo, and she smiled and crossed her arms and called over to him, "Ah, I see your up, do you still feel faintish?" she teased.

"Ha ha..." said Martin sarcasticly walking into the room putting his hands in his pockets. "I'm just checking on Chris, how is he Aviva?" He went over and stood beside Aviva, looking over at his brother.

Aviva sighed, "Not so good... the bullet hit pretty close to his heart, and his lungs... it actually landed right in between, it's a miracle he's still alive..." she laid her hand on Chris's chest gently.

Martin blinked, he never before had really seen Aviva so caring towards Chris. Martin always thought Aviva had more of a thing for him, though, he honestly didn't care and ignored it.

Though, Martin smiled to himself, thinking Aviva and Chris would be a cute couple.

Finally, Aviva removed her hand from Chris unwillingly, and turning her spinning chair to face Kitty and Koki, "So, Kitty, why were you a lion in the first place, and how may I ask did you become one, por favor?"

Kitty sighed, "Well... I suppose I was doing the same thing you all where doing," Jimmy stood at the doorway listening, as she kept speaking, "Trying to save those lions from the poachers. Though I wanted to blend in and get closer, so, I became a lion..."

"How?" Koki asked

"Ever since I was a little girl, I have been able to turn into any animal I wished, or just form certain animal parts..." she said rubbing her arm a little, she really didn't share this with anyone.

Martin thought of one last question, "Back at the destroyed helicopter, you apologized; why?"

Kitty thought back to when she first spotted the copter, "I'll just tell you everything... I was sitting in the savanna when I noticed a large Helicopter above, the first gun shots told me exactly what was going on. So, I transformed, and quickly followed the poachers. When I saw they still had the cub alive, I knew I had to do something. So, I jumped, right onto the copter. Then I noticed Chris flying about, trying to help. As soon as the door of the copter opened, I rushed in, right as the man got his gun. Once I had the cub, I came up from behind the man with the gun, but, it was to late, he had already shot Chris. I quickly attacked the man, and by accident caused the copter to crash. But before it did crash, I dove out with the cub, turning into a eagle. Once Chris fell, I flew down after him, and was able to catch him before he hit the ground, and would have surely died... I'm just sorry I couldn't of saved him sooner..."

Aviva put a hand on Kitty's shoulder, "Don't worry, you still saved him-... well, saved him enough anyway..."

The cub came out from under Chris's bed and yawned, looking up at everyone. Martin picked up the cub and smiled, "We'll have to find a good home for you, Survivor."

"You named him Survivor?" said Koki, "That's one of my favorite TV shows!"

Martin smiled and shook his head a little, "I didn't name him after a show, I just named him Survivor, for surviving the poachers... though... I don't think his mom did..."

Kitty looked down, and then looked at Martin, "I can take care of him..."

Martin looked over at her, "Really?"

"Yeah, anything to help the little guy."

"Okay then..." Martin said as he went over and gave Kitty the cub. Kitty smiled at Martin sweetly and left the room.

Aviva, Jimmy, and Koki all looked at each other.

Aviva went over to Martin, "I think she likes you..."

"What?" said Martin, as he looked where Kitty had just exited, "Really?" His face reddened a little.

"I think so..." said Aviva giggling as she walked back to Chris's side. And, it seemed Aviva was right.
