Chapter 2 -The Team Meets Ninja

The ninja starts to gain consciousness and hears people saying, "Is he alright? Is it a good idea to bring him here to the Tortuga? I wonder who he is under that mask. Should I look? No wait! He's waking up!"

"Hey!" Martin said, "You're okay!"

"Where am I?" asked the ninja.

"You're in the Tortuga, sir. My name is Aviva," said the Mexican adolescent wearing a t-shirt, yellow jacket, and blue jeans.

"I'm Kokie," said the African American adolescent who has an afro and is wearing a reddish maroon shirt with black sleeves that have a yellow star emblazoned on the front and khaki jeans.

"I'm Jimmy Z," said the Caucasian boy wearing a gray, short-sleeved shirt with a video game character emblazoned on the front over a long-sleeved shirt, plaid shorts, and a green baseball cap worn backward.

"And we're the Kratt Brothers! I'm Chris! And I'm Martin!" said both Chris and Martin Kratt.

"I don't believe it. I'm actually here, in the Tortuga, with the Wild Kratts Team!" the ninja pondered in amazement.

"Aren't you gonna tell us your name?" Aviva asked blushingly.

"I would love to, but unfortunately, that's classified," said the ninja, "however, you can refer to me as Ninja, if you'd like."

"Cool! So you are an actual ninja!" Jimmy yelled excitedly, "Oh, can you show me some of your cool moves like Hiya! Or Hoowa!?" Jimmy tries to show off his karate moves although sloppy.

"Classified information?" Aviva wondered.

All of a sudden, the Tortuga receives an incoming transmission.

Koki checks it out. "Will you look at this? Is it an incoming transmission from an unknown location by an unknown person? But who could this be?"

Suddenly, a middle-aged man dressed as an FBI appears on the screen.

The FBI agent spoke, "Is Ninja here?"

"And who's this," asked Koki.

"I got this," Ninja pushed Koki aside.

"Ah, so this is the Wild Kratts team you've been telling me about. Wow, this is more impressive than I can imagine," said the FBI agent.

"Wait, you talked about us," Aviva asked in shock.

"Sir, permission to explain and also to bring them to our headquarters," Ninja asked the FBI agent.

"Permission granted, and here are the coordinates so your driver knows where to go," said the FBI agent.

The FBI agent hangs up and Ninja begins to speak to the team.

"Okay, with that settled, I'm an agent at the infamous place you must've heard of. Area 51?"

"Wait, The Area 51?" Aviva asked, "That place is so secretive! You actually work there?"

Ninja responds "Yes, I am part of a project dubbed Mission Creature Rescue, or MCR for short."

Chris replies "Wait, Mission Creature Rescue? Sounds like you are a real fan of us."

"Yup, it's all inspired by you guys," Ninja explained, "just like you, we also save and protect natural habitats, wildlife, and the balance of nature from bad guys, including yours."

Jimmy so intrigued, "Wait a second, there are more bad guys than just Zach, Donita, Gourmand, and Paisley?"

"That's impressive. But why go through the trouble of recommending us?" Koki asked.

"You see, I'm the only active member who literally goes out there saving lives. The rest are scientists who locate villains and signs of negativity for me to investigate and build inventions. You guys have already proved yourselves by taking on three of our intended targets to turn in to the government. But, more villains are starting to arise and they will become too much for even either of us to handle. So what do you say, guys? Are you in?" after Ninja was done explaining.

The team agrees, nods, and says together "We're in!"

"Domo arigato," said Ninja.

"So, when do we start?" Martin asked.

"Unfortunately, my plan to bring you guys in still has to be pended by my high-ranking superiors. Only they can determine if you can join us. Even that FBI agent you met does not have the power."

"Whoa, now that's tough," said Martin.

The Tortuga begins to slow down and then levitate to the ground slowly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived in Area 51!" Jimmy exclaimed.

The team heads out, with Ninja unaware of a tiny Trojan hiding in his shuriken holster.
