A week has passed since the Jurassic Siblings first met Zach. And right now, they and Chris and Martin were at a huge pond in a North American temperate forest, called FrogWater Pond. And they were trying to catch Bullfrogs.
"Ha ha! It happens every time." Martin said. "Every time I take a step."
Then, a Bullfrog that they were about to try to catch jumped into the water and the Kratt Brothers laughed.
"Try it again." Chris said.
"We'll get him this time." Martin said, trying to catch another Bullfrog before it jumped into the water. "Or not."
Chris brings his CreaturePod with one end of a tape measure to the spot of the pond where the Bullfrog jumped to, while Martin, with the other end of the tape measure from Chris' CreaturePod, was at the spot the Bullfrog jumped and launched from. And they both gave each other a thumbs up.
"Whoa! A Bullfrog can jump 10 times the length of his own body!" Chris said, as the tape measure then goes back into his CreaturePod.
"That is some ultimate leaping ability. And this pond is loaded with Bullfrogs." Martin said as a Bullfrog nears Chris. "Incoming!"
The Bullfrog then jumps and smacks into Chris' face, causing him to fall backward into the water.
"Whoa!" Chris shouted.
Amber and Tyrana both made a snickering sound, and Skylie, Bumpo, Hornster and Grubby thought it was pretty funny too.
The Bullfrog then hops off Chris, and into the water.
"Yuck!" Chris said. "I think I licked him."
Martin laughed as he helped Chris out of the water.
"Frogs are such better jumpers than humans." Martin said.
"Much. If we could jump like a Frog, we could jump 60 feet!" Chris said.
"Then we could jump clear across this pond." Martin said. "Now that is creature power."
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Chris said.
"Oh, I think I'm thinking what you're thinking." Martin said.
"I think, I think-" Chris said, before being cut off.
"I know what both of you are thinking." Aviva said on Chris' CreaturePod, as she then appears on a holographic screen.
"You're thinking that we need a Frog Power Suit and I agree." Aviva said. "Let's collect some wow facts on these Frogs. Be right there!"
Aviva then instantly arrived on a Buzzbike.
"Hi, guys!" Aviva said.
"Whoa!" The Kratt brothers said in unison.
"That was fast." Chris said.
"So, where are the frogs?" Aviva asked.
"Well, everywhere." Chris said. "But here's the thing: every time we take a step, a frog launches into the water. They're a little tricky to get a hold of."
"That's because bullfrogs have a highly-sophisticated, highly-developed, anti-predator evasion system; legs that leap." Martin said. "And if you can't catch them, join them!"
He then jumped into the water as Chris and Aviva laughed.
"Well, from first observation, one thing is obvious. The secret is in the length of those legs." Aviva said. "Check it out! A frog's hind legs are twice as long as its entire body! This creature is designed for jumping."
"Hey, where'd he go?" Martin inquired. "I was just behind him and then he was gone!"
"If I take another step, this bullfrog will jump and then you can find the answer to your question." Chris said.
"Okay. One, Two, Three, Ready!" Martin said, as he then inhaled a huge breath and held his nose as he quickly went underwater and Chris took another step, causing the Bullfrog to leap into the water.
Then, once underwater, Martin watched as the Bullfrog quickly turned back and made a break to the shallows.
"Hmm?" Martin inquired.
Then, he saw and watched two Largemouth Bass in the deeper part of the pond pass by, before resurfacing for breath.
"Wow, he doubled back. And I think I know why." Martin inquired. "It's those Bass! The frog jumps into the water for safety, but he can't go deep because big fish will eat him. So he cuts back and heads to the shallows. That's how he stays away from land predators and fish predators at the same time."
Bullfrogs are prey for some animals, like the Largemouth Bass, but not many since they have great defenses, with one being that they taste bad, with nasty-tasting chemicals in their skin, and a lot of predators really don't wanna eat them.
"Hey, you all got to get in here and check this out!" Martin said, as he inhaled another breath and held his nose again, and then went back underwater.
Amber, Tyrana, Skylie, Bumpo, Hornster and Grubby jumped into the water after Martin. They've been doing really well with practicing their swimming lately, as they loved being in the water and swimming as much as Martin.
"Ribbit!" Aviva said, imitating a Bullfrog.
"Ribbit!" Chris said, also imitating a Bullfrog.
"Whoa!" They shouted, as they jumped into the water.
They then resurfaced.
"We've still got some things to learn about Frog powers!" Aviva said.
"Tell me about it." Chris said.
"Whoa!" Aviva shouted, as Martin playfully pushed her up from below the water, causing her to fall back into it.
And then the 3 laughed.
Then the 6 young dinosaur siblings looked curiously at the river, and wondered whatever was happening or going on up there.
Meanwhile, further upriver, Wild Kratts kids, Gavin, Ronan, Katie and Jenny, were having a paper boat race to FrogWater Pond. Ronan was just finishing his boat.
"It's ready!" Ronan said.
"Whoa, cool boat." Katie said.
"Okay, let's race." Gavin said.
The race had begun.
"Look at it sail!" Ronan said, watching his boat.
Just then, a shadow looms over them.
"Uh-Oh." They all said in unison.
Overhead, a large black plane with a big red V on the back of it flies over them. And that could only mean one, imbecilic person… Zach Varmitech.
"Spotless!" Zach's voice said.
Meanwhile, inside Zach's plane...
"Remember, I want this plane "spotless"." Zach said, as he was having his Zachbots clean the interior of his plane.
One Zachbot was cleaning one of the windows, when Zach came over and took the wrag and spray bottle it was using to show it exactly how it was done.
"Spotless!" Zach said.
He then tossed the wrag and spray bottle back and went to check on the other Zachbots to see how they were doing.
"Cleaner! Faster!" He demanded.
As the other Zachbots were busy vacuuming, the canister holding the waste suddenly started to overload. Suddenly, it then bursts, causing black ooze to splash out everywhere. Worse was to follow.
"Aah!" Zach shouted, as he recoiled and one of the Zachbots shielded him with a built-in arm umbrella from the black ooze.
Just then, a drop of it slips off the umbrella and falls onto the left sleeve of his sweater.
"Aah! You got black goop all over my black sweater!" Zach yelled. "Clean this mess up and get it off my plane!"
He lands his plane near the river.
Meanwhile, back at the pond, Martin, Chris, Aviva, Amber, Tyrana, Skylie, Bumpo, Hornster and Grubby were still observing the Bullfrogs.
"And that same leg motion that the frog uses for leaping is also used for swimming." Aviva said. "Recoil and push."
"Never thought about it that way before." Chris said.
"Recoil and push." Martin said.
"The Frog Stroke!" Both brothers said in unison.
"I've got what I need to get started on programming the bullfrog powers." Aviva said. "Now this will be a simple Creature Power Suit because frog power is all in the legs. Finally, a nice relaxing day of invention. No complications."
And she then heads off back to the Tortuga.
Just then, a low-pitched bellowing sound was heard.
"Did you hear that?" Martin said.
Chris, Martin and the Jurassic Siblings followed the sound across the pond, until they heard it coming from some reeds.
"Over there." Martin said.
And they soon found the noise-maker; a huge male Bullfrog.
"Whoa! This is one monster Bullfrog." Martin said.
"As big as they get." Chris said.
The Bullfrog continues bellowing.
"And if you're a mile away you can hear a big frog like him ribbit." Chris said.
"I'd call it more of a "baroop"." Martin said.
"It's a ribbit." Chris said.
"Baroop." Martin said. "Oh, he's not going anywhere because this is the best spot in the pond."
"Yeah, the water is warmest here." Chris said. "And warm water makes a bullfrog ribbit."
"Baroop. Deeper." Martin said.
"A deeper sounding ribbit is more attractive to female bullfrogs." Chris said, in a low-pitched voice.
"And that's why he's barooping in the first place, to attract females." Martin said.
The male Bullfrog continues his mating call.
"Wait, I know what that sounds like, not really a ribbit or a baroop. It sounds like… a tuba!" Martin said.
He plays a deep-sounding tuba note sound on his CreaturePod.
"And that's what I'm going to name you, Tuba." Martin said, naming the Bullfrog.
And Tuba continues his bellowing mating call.
"Hey, it worked." "Here comes a female Frog." Chris said, noticing another Frog approaching.
But then, things were about to take an unexpected turn.
"Uh-Oh. Correction: that's not a female Frog, that's another male Bullfrog. Chris said.
The other male Bullfrog is much younger than Tuba, but he could still be a rival, nonetheless.
"He wants to claim Tuba's spot." Martin said.
But Tuba then shows the younger male that he accepts his challenge and won't give up his spot without fighting for it.
"Oh, Tuba doesn't want to give it up." Chris said.
"We're heading for a Bullfrog Bash!" Martin said.
Martin, Chris, Amber, Tyrana, Skylie, Bumpo, Hornster and Grubby all watch in amazement as Tuba fights fiercely, and then manages to drive off the intruder as he retreats.
"Whoa, way to go, Tuba!" Martin cheered.
Then, Tuba resumes his mission in hand, but this time, by taking a more different approach.
"Whoa! And now he's blowing up his throat pouch."
Tuba inflates his throat pouch and produces an even deeper low-pitched sound.
"It's a resonating chamber. Just like Dinosaurs, like Amber, have." Martin said. "The sound bounces around in that bubble and comes out even louder."
"Now his call is super attractive to females." Chris said. "And it's working. Here comes one now."
Another Bullfrog who has heard Tuba's calls, a female this time, approaches.
"Are you sure that's a female bullfrog?" Martin asked.
"Yeah, look." Chris said. "The key difference is the male has a large tympanic membrane, that large circle behind his eye, and the female's is much smaller."
"Oh yeah, and this is the beginning of the frog's life cycle!" Martin said.
"Life cycle?!" Aviva said, panicked, as she had watched and heard the whole thing while working on the new Frog Creature Power Discs. "Oh no, I forgot about the life cycle."
She then raced back over to the pond on the Buzzbike. And her sudden arrival soon startled the others.
"Life cycle!" She said, panicked. "I thought frogs were going to be easy, but this might be my most difficult Creature Power Suit programming yet. They change shape and have different forms at different times of their lives, I have to account for all the genetic changes triggered by DNA codes at different times and-"
"Wait, wait, slow down." Chris said.
"Aviva, you can totally do this." Martin said.
"Okay, yeah, yeah." Aviva said. "I can do this."
"Let's just get a closer look." Martin said, as he then pulls out the Miniaturizer. "Miniaturization, anyone?"
"Amber, you and the others stay here, normal-sized, and protect the Miniaturizer." Chris said.
Amber, Tyrana, Skylie, Bumpo, Hornster and Grubby gladly and proudly accept.
And soon, Martin, Chris and Aviva shrunk down to mini-size.
"One word of warning to everybody: Frogs might not seem like your good old harmless green friend anymore." Chris said.
"Remember, Bullfrogs eat anything that fits in their mouths." Martin said. "And guys like Tuba, they have big mouths."
"Got it." Aviva said. "Let's get a closer look at this."
And they all jumped into the water as Amber, Tyrana, Skylie, Bumpo, Hornster and Grubby watched them, then resumed their guard duty.
"This way!" Martin said.
They then headed to another part of the pond, where another female Bullfrog was, before she jumped into the water as they approached.
"Hey, another female bullfrog." Martin said.
Then, they gasped at what they saw before them.
"She laid eggs." Aviva said.
"Yeah, about 10,000 of them!" Chris said. "The eggs are protected in a clear, gooey, slime-like substance. Predators find this stuff tastes disgusting and so the jelly protects the developing eggs."
"Ooh, jelly!" Martin said, as he sticks his finger in the substance and tastes it, before realizing his mistake. "AAAGH!" He then gargles to filter it out and get rid of the taste. "Eeugh! The predators are right. It tastes awful."
"But the good thing that can get past the slime is water." Chris said. "Fresh water can move easily in and out of the slime to freshen the developing eggs."
"And nothing is more important to frog eggs than being in healthy, clean water." Martin said. "If there's pollution in the water, it can get into the eggs. The slime can't protect them from that."
"Eggs that develop in polluted water develop into frogs with strange and sad deformities; five legs, three eyes and more." Chris said.
"Hey, there's something black and wriggling in the eggs over here." Aviva said.
"Yes!" Martin said. "This is the beginning of stage two of the frog's life cycle. The eggs are about to hatch!"
"Let's wait and watch while it happens." Chris said.
Meanwhile, back with Zach….
"This will work." Zach said, confidentially. "No nosy people around to complain. Alright, Zachbots, time to clean out my workshop. Roll out the barrels and let's pump this goo out."
He then began looking for somewhere to dispose of the ooze.
"Let's see, right in… there!" Zach said, eyeing the river.
And that's when Zach and his Zachbots do one of the worst and outrageous things possible to nature; Pollute river water by dumping the black ooze into the river.
"That's better." Zach said. "One thing I can't stand is a messy laboratory."
But little did Zach, with, literally, no brains at all, even realize was that by doing this, he was about to find out himself, the hard way, that he had bitten off more than he could chew and had definitely gone way too far, this time.
Meanwhile, back at the pond, the frog eggs were beginning to hatch.
"They're hatching!" Chris said.
"Yeah, we've got tadpoles!" Martin joined in.
"Stage two of the frog's life cycle has begun." Chris said.
"It's amazing that tadpoles are baby frogs." Aviva said. "They just look like heads with tails."
"Yeah, they don't look anything like frogs yet." Martin said.
Then, one of the tadpoles approached Martin, and started lightly pecking at his hair, mistaking it for algae.
"Hey! Does my hair look green to you?" Martin asked the tadpole.
Then the tadpole did the same with Chris' hair.
"Sorry, buddy! The algae's over there!" Chris said.
The tadpole then swims off.
"These tadpoles hatch hungry." Chris said. "And within a week, their transformation begins."
"Next they grow hind legs like this guy." Martin said, gesturing to a developing tadpole that has already grown hind legs.
"Then the tail begins to be reabsorbed into the body and tiny front legs sprout out." Chris said, gesturing to a developing tadpole that has also grown tiny front limbs.
"And then the tail is absorbed completely." Martin said. "The front legs grow, the body shape changes…"
"And Ta-Da! A Froglet!" Chris said.
And that's what a young frog is called; a Froglet.
And soon, the young Froglet hops out of the water and onto land, right in front of Amber, Tyrana, Skylie, Bumpo, Hornster and Grubby, who curiously observe him.
"And now this little frog is truly amphibious… living in the water and on land." Martin said. "He'll stay in this shape, but every year get bigger and bigger and bigger."
"And believe it or not, a Bullfrog can live for 25 years." Chris said. "Pretty cool, huh, Aviva? Aviva?"
"Aviva returns to normal size on the Miniaturizer."
"Oh-No. There are so many changes in Frog development." Aviva said, before she then heads to her Buzzbike. "Such precision timing and programming to integrate with DNA coding."
"Wait, Aviva, don't-" Chris said, before Aviva zooms off and heads back to the Tortuga to continue her work on the Frog Power Suit.
Just then, Tuba jumps out of nowhere and lands on Chris and Martin.
"Oof!" Both brothers exclaimed in unison.
"Oh, I love frogs." Chris said, as Amber, Tyrana, Skylie, Bumpo, Hornster and Grubby all watch over him, Martin and Tuba curiously.
Meanwhile, back with Gavin, Ronan, Katie and Jenny….
"Wow, it's still sailing." Katie said, watching her paper boat sail on.
"Go! Yeah, go! Mine is winning!" Ronan said.
"No way, mine is!" Gavin said.
Then, the pollution from Zach's plane appeared right in front of them.
"Ew, what is that stuff?" Jenny inquired.
"Whatever it is, it's not good." Ronan said.
"And it's heading to FrogWater Pond!" Katie said.
And so it was, as they gasped.
"We've got to do something!" Gavin said, as they quickly rushed off to FrogWater Pond.
Meanwhile, Tuba was still lying on top of Chris and Martin, who were waiting patiently for him to get off them, as Amber, Tyrana, Skylie, Bumpo, Hornster and Grubby still curiously watched over them. They then witness Tuba catching a passing mosquito with his long sticky tongue, and then eat it.
"Oh-No!" Gavin's voice said, as he and the others approached.
Tuba then jumped off Chris and Martin, who groaned a bit, and back into the water as both Kratt Brothers then got back up and headed to the Miniaturizer to get back to normal size.
And the 6 young dinosaur siblings turned to where the voice was coming from, as they recognized it, and then started to get excited.
"There's so much pollution!" Gavin said, as he, Ronan, Katie and Jenny made it to the pond, panting.
"What are we going to do?" Katie asked.
"It's going to ruin the pond." Gavin said.
"How about we call the Wild Kratts?" Ronan suggested.
Then, they heard a familiar screeching and chittering sound.
"Huh?" They all said.
Then, Amber suddenly appeared, screeching, jumping around and wagging her tail excitedly like a little puppy.
"Amber!" The four kids all happily cried in unison.
Amber then excitedly ran over to them and spun around a bit, as they laughed, and then rubbed herself against Gavin's legs and purred like a little kitten, before they all started petting, lightly scratching, and then hugging her.
Ever since the Wild Kratts have introduced the Jurassic Siblings to the Wild Kratts kids all around the world, they've been instantly loved and adored by them since then.
"Hey girl, how ya doing?" Gavin said, as he stroked her head.
"We're so happy to see you again." Ronan said, as Amber gently nuzzled him and purred.
"Hi, Sweetie." Katie said, as she hugged Amber. "You are so cute."
Amber then affectionately licked Katie's cheek as she giggled.
"It's great to see you again, girl." Jenny said, petting Amber's head. "So what've you been doing since last time we saw you?"
Just then, Tyrana, Skylie, Bumpo, Hornster and Grubby also approached the four Wild Kratts kids.
"Hey, and it's also Tyrana." Gavin said, as Tyrana approached and then nuzzled him, and Ronan then hugged her.
"And Skylie." Jenny said, as she hugged Skylie.
"And Bumpo." Katie said, as she petted Bumpo.
"And Hornster." Gavin said, as he petted Hornster.
"And Grubby." Ronan said, as he hugged Grubby.
"Our 6 baby dinosaur friends from Jurassic World that the Wild Kratts were specially permitted to raise and care for." Gavin said.
"It's so great to see you all again." Katie said.
"Yeah, even though it hasn't been too long since the last time we saw you all." Jenny said.
"And they're all a good thing." Ronan said. "Because wherever they are, the Wild Kratts can't be far away."
"You mean us? Hey, guys!" Chris said, as he and Martin then appeared by growing back to normal size on the Miniaturizer. "Wild Kratts here!"
"What?" Gavin said.
"How'd you get here so fast?" Jenny asked.
"Wait, we didn't even call you." Ronan said.
"Can you read our minds?" Katie inquired.
"Oh, no, we were just hanging out Frog-sized." Martin replied.
"Oh." Gavin said.
"Oh!" Katie, Ronan and Jenny all said in unison.
"What's going on?" Chris asked.
"There's some kind of pollution, or something, in the stream and it's heading this way." Gavin said.
"What?!" Both brothers gasped in shocked unison.
"That's the biggest danger to frog survival." Martin said, as he brought out a pair of binoculars to spot the approaching pollution.
"For all the frogs, and every stage of their life cycle." Chris added.
"Especially all the little tadpoles growing inside the eggs!" Martin finished.
Even the Jurassic Siblings knew that this meant trouble.
Meanwhile, back at the Tortuga HQ….
"Okay, I've calibrated for all the stages of the frog's life cycle." Aviva said. "But I should probably run through my program once more so…"
"Lil' Tadpole here, calling Frog Force. Come in, Frog Force." Martin then suddenly called, as Aviva responded. "We need those frog powers big time!"
"Hmm.." Aviva pondered, as she then printed and created the Frog Power Discs. "I think it's ready."
"Hurry! It's a creature emergency!" Martin said.
"I'm on my way!" Aviva said, before hanging up and then hurrying over with a worried look.
Martin and Chris had just finished putting on their Creature Power Suits, with the Wild Kratts kids and their young dinosaur compadres by their sides, when Aviva had just arrived on her Buzzbike with the Frog Power Discs.
"It was some pretty complicated programming with the life cycle and all, but I think I've got it to where it'll activate directly to adult frog powers." Aviva said.
"It'll be great." Martin said as Aviva gave him the discs. "We'll use our frog legs to head upstream to find the source of the ooze and stop it!" Martin said.
"While you guys try to contain the ooze and prevent it from entering the pond and reaching the frog eggs." Chris said to the Wild Kratts kids.
"Oh, and also, keep our dinosaur friends company and take care of them as well." Martin added.
"Got it." Ronan said.
"Alright!" Katie said.
"We can do that." Jenny said.
The Kratt Brothers then went up to Tuba and then touched him before activating Frog Powers.
"Activate Frog Powers!" Both brothers said in unison.
But things took an unexpected turn; only Martin managed to activate to adult Frog Powers, but Chris, on the other hand, only activated to Tadpole Powers.
"What?! Tadpole powers?!" Chris said, baffled.
"Oh-No, I was afraid of that!" Aviva said, as what just happened was exactly what she theorized. "It activated to the tadpole stage of a frog's life cycle."
"Come on, bro, we've got no time to lose!" Martin said, as he grabbed Chris and jumped into the water with him.
And soon, they were on their way, upriver.
"All I can do with tadpole powers is wiggle." Chris said.
"Chris, try to touch another frog and reactivate!" Aviva said.
"How am I going to touch a frog, and my disc, without any hands?" Chris inquired.
"Heads up, we've got creatures fleeing from the goo." Martin said, and then gasped.
"Beaver!" Martin said, as he quickly ducked underneath the fleeing Beaver.
"Bass!" Martin said, as he quickly dodged the fleeing Bass by swimming over it.
"Oh, and here's a Bullfrog!" Martin said, as he then noticed a fleeing Bullfrog.
"Oh, I know!" Chris said, getting an idea.
Chris then went up to the Bullfrog and quickly swam behind it.
"Activate frog pow-ow-owers!" Chris said, as the Bullfrog's feet hit him, thus, touched the Activation Button,
And so, he made it to Stage 2 of the Frog's Life Cycle.
"Oh-No, I just made it to stage two with hind legs!" Chris said. "And I still have to wiggle."
Then, Aviva appeared on a holographic screen.
"Oh, you're going to have to activate through every stage of a frog's life cycle to get frog powers!" Aviva said.
"What?!" Chris said.
"Hurry, Chris! Find another Frog." Aviva said.
Determined, Chris then found another fleeing Bullfrog and swam up behind it.
"Activate frog pow-ow-owowers!" Chris said, as the Bullfrog's feet hit him, thus, touched the Activation Button.
And so, he made it to Stage 3 of the Frog's Life Cycle.
"Okay, now I just made it to stage three with hind legs and tiny front legs!" Chris said. "I've still got to lose this tail!"
Just then, Martin arrived at the source of the black ooze and gasped as he saw it approaching him.
"Come on, finish the life cycle, bro." Martin said. "I see the ooze."
Just then, Chris gasped as he saw one more fleeing Bullfrog, emerging from the black ooze.
"Uh-Oh, this is my last chance!" Chris said.
He then went up to the fleeing Bullfrog and swam up behind it.
"Activate frog pow-ow-ow-owers!" Chris said, as the Bullfrog's feet hit him, thus, touched the Activation Button.
And finally, he made it to adult Frog Powers.
"Finally! Frog Powers!" Chris cheered.
"Uh-Oh." Martin said, as they saw the black ooze approaching. "Let's get these frog powers jumping."
"To the Creature Rescue!" Both brothers said in unison.
They then hopped out of the water.
"Huh? Zach?!" Both brothers said in unison.
"We've got to stop him." Martin said.
"Zach!" Chris shouted.
"What are you doing?!" Martin shouted.
Zach then turned to face them.
"Well, one thing I'm not doing is dressing up in tiny, weird animal suits." Zach replied, as he then raised his hand and tried to smash them.
"Whoa!" Chris yelled, as they quickly dodged his hand.
"You're polluting the environment!" Chris said, as he avoids getting stomped on by Zach.
"Who cares? It's already dirty!" Zach retorted as he kicks up dirt. "See?"
"Uh, that dirt's called Earth." Martin retorted. "It's natural, and animals need a clean environment to live."
"Aah!" Both brothers yelled as Zach tried to crush them both under his feet, narrowly dodging him yet again.
"Yeah, you created these poisonous chemicals, so you've got to find a way to clean them up and dispose of them in a way that doesn't make the water dirty and hurt frog habitat." Chris said, before he dodges Zach's foot again.
"Oh yeah? Who's going to make me?" Zach asked, retortfully.
Further downriver, Aviva, Koki, the Wild Kratts kids and the Jurassic Siblings have set up a barrier with a water-filtration system to hold back the black ooze from Zach's plane.
"Look!" Koki said, as she noticed the black ooze approaching. "Open the fish and water creature escape valve!"
Ronan and Katie, as well as Bumpo and Skylie, turn a wheel that opens that special valve that lets trapped fish and river animals fleeing from the black ooze through the barrier.
The escape valve opens up, letting some Redbreast Sunfish and Largemouth Bass and a Spiny Softshell Turtle swim though it to safety.
Then Gavin, Tyrana and Hornster surface.
"All the animals are through!" Gavin said.
"Close the valve! Race for filtration." Aviva said.
Ronan Katie, Bumpo and Skylie close the valve back up.
"Filtration on!" Koki said, as she activates the filtration system.
Everyone then starts hoping for the best as the barrier starts to filter as much of the black ooze as it can.
Back with the Kratt Brothers, Martin dodges Zach's foot, as he tries to stomp him.
"Trampoline!" Chris shouted, as he bounced across Zach's head.
"Sorry, Zach, but you leave us no choice." Martin said.
"Grrrrrrrrrrr…." Zach growled, before he noticed Aviva arriving.
"You might need this!" Aviva said, as she tossed them the Miniaturizer and they then grew back to normal size on it.
"Aah!" Zach said, as ducked as the Kratt Brothers hopped over him.
"Lift with your legs, bro." Martin said, as they lifted a boulder and placed it on the pipe to stop the black ooze from flowing out into the river, clogging it up, before turning back to Zach.
"This is your pollution!" Chris scolded. "You've got to deal with it!"
"Oh, I'll fucking deal with it alright." Zach retorted. "Zachbots, stop them!"
Chris and Martin then jumped up into the air, just as two of the Zachbots were about to attack them, and then come back down, crushing the two Zachbots under their weight.
"Hey Zachbots, over here!" Martin called, as the three remaining Zachbots charged towards him.
"Heads up, Martin!" Chris called as he launched one of the fuel drums with his frog feet, striking it into the Zachbots.
And then, Martin kicked the Zachbots back into Zach's plane, where, because the pipe is clogged so much, the canister containing the black ooze starts to overload again, and then explodes, splattering black ooze everywhere.
"You've got-" Zach said, before he got cut off, and was completely covered from head to toe in his own black ooze.
"Aah!" Zach yelled. "This is disgusting!"
"Exactly. Now you know how nature feels." Martin retorted.
"How fucking dare you mess up my sparkling clean plane?!" Zach berated. "I had it so shiny, shiny, shiny! the shiniest I ever had it-"
"Mayday! Mayday!" Koki contacted.
Unable to take much more, the barrier also overloads and the black ooze in the river breaches it and continues flowing downriver to FrogWater Pond.
"The pollution has breached our barrier." Koki alerted. "It's heading downriver, fast!"
"Retreat to FrogWater Pond!" Aviva announced.
"We've got to save Tuba, he's right at the entrance." Martin said.
"And all the frogs, eggs, tadpoles and other wildlife. Chris said. "We're on our way!"
Meanwhile, the team and Jurassic Siblings were evacuating FrogWater Pond of all its wildlife.
"Okay, second barricade is in place, but it's not going to hold back the ooze for long." Aviva said.
"We have to get as many creatures out of the pond as we can." Koki said.
"Unless I can improvise." Aviva said, as she then rushed back to the Tortuga to quickly experiment the black ooze.
"Hmm." Aviva pondered, as she placed a drop of science liquid on the black ooze, and it neutralized it.
"That's it!" Aviva said. "I think this is a counteractive agent that can break down and neutralize the pollution particles."
"Hurry, Aviva! The ooze is overloading the filter again!" Koki called.
Aviva then quickly got a sample of the counteractive agent and headed back just as the filter was starting to overload again.
"It's going to breach again! I can't hold it much more!" Koki said.
"Hang on!" Aviva said, as she arrived and injected the counteractive agent into the filter, which stopped it from overloading, and it started to neutralize the black ooze, thus, cleaning the water and saving FrogWater Pond.
"It's working!" Aviva and Koki said in unison.
"It worked!" Jenny said.
"FrogWater Pond is saved!" Gavin said.
Amber, Tyrana, Skylie, Bumpo, Hornster and Grubby all screeched, shrieked and bellowed in celebration.
"Release the creatures!" Chris announced.
And so they did. But while they did so, Tuba then hopped over to and onto the Miniaturizer. And then, unknown to anyone, the shadow of Zach's plane approaching looming over causes him to back up onto the button that sets the Miniaturizer to enlarge things.
"Uh-Oh." Ronan said, as Zach's plane arrives.
"Oh, this looks like a nice place for a plane wash." Zach said. "Bring it down!"
But before he could do anything, Martin and Chris quickly leap into his plane.
"Zach, stop!" Chris yelled. "If you land here, you'll ruin the bullfrogs' habitat."
"The only habitat that Zach cares about is Zach's nice shiny plane!" Zach said, ruthlessly.
"A pond full of wildlife is no place to dump your mess." Martin said.
"Yes, it is." Zach retorted.
"We can't let you do this, Zach." Chris said.
"And we're not gonna let you do this either." Martin said.
"Just get out of the fucking way so I can get to my controls and bring her-" Zach said, before he realized something Martin and Chris didn't. "WAAH!"
"Come on, think about the frogs." Martin said. "You like clean water to drink. They do, too. Plus, they need clean water to live in."
"F-f-frog–" Zach stammered, scaredly.
"Yes. F-f-frog." Martin copied, in his own way, unaware of why Zach was scared.
"B-b-big frog–" Zach stammered, in scared bewilderment.
Outside was the reason why Zach was frightened, unknown to both Chris and Martin.
"Yeah, they can get big, but they're not really called big frogs. Martin said. They're called Bullfrogs and, you know, just let them go on living free and in the wild, in clean water."
"Fine, fine, whatever you say." Zach said. "Just please let me get out of here now."
"Okay. It's a deal." Martin said.
"Wait! How do we know that you're actually going to do it?" Chris said, as he and Martin glared at Zach, unsure if he'll actually listen to them for once.
"Here, take my master remote control! And my invention notebook!" Zach said.
"Okay." Both brothers said in confused unison, before heading back out.
"Creature Mission accomplished!" Chris said.
"FrogWater Pond is saved!" Martin said.
"Uh, you guys?!" Koki said, as she, Aviva, Gavin, Ronan, Katie, Jenny, Amber, Tyrana, Skylie, Bumpo, Hornster and Grubby were all hiding behind a large tank and a crate. "Look!"
And then, everyone saw the reason why Zach was frightened off so easily; Tuba had been accidentally enlarged by the Miniaturizer.
"Oh, hi, Tuba. You've grown." Martin said.
"Uh, I'm pretty sure this is not part of the life cycle." Chris said.
"Uh, and did we get into how bullfrogs will eat anything they can fit into their mouths?" Martin asked.
"Even other frogs!" Chris mentioned.
Even amphibians, such as frogs, are cannibals.
"Aah!" Both brothers screamed as they took evasive maneuvers to avoid the giant Bullfrog's tongue as it lashed out at them.
Martin joined the others, while Chris tried to get to the Miniaturizing button to shrink Tuba back to normal size.
"Hmm? Aah!" Chris said as he dodges Tuba's tongue and then hits the Miniaturizing button.
And Tuba then shrinks back down to normal size and bellowed.
"Whew! That's much better." Martin said.
Eventually, things at FrogWater Pond were back to normal, and the Wild Kratts kids' paper boats have finally made it there, and some young Froglets hopped onto them as the kids laughed.
"Frogs have such an amazing life cycle!" Chris said.
"From eggs, through developing tadpoles, to froglets, to adult frogs." Aviva said.
"And it all takes place in, and depends on, clean water." Martin said.
"Can you give us Bullfrog power rides?" Ronan asked.
Chris and Martin bellowed like Bullfrogs.
"Does that mean yes?" Ronan asked.
"Nope, that means… Hop on!" Martin said.
So, Jenny and Ronan hopped on Chris and Katie and Gavin hopped on Martin.
"Yeah! Wahoo!" They cheered.
"Frog power!" Gavin cheered.
Author's Note:
I apologize for the temporary delay. This one's been difficult to create and the following chapters will likely be the same.
But I thank you all so much for your patience.
Anyway, who else feels like Amber, Tyrana, Skylie, Bumpo, Hornster and Grubby also have a connective bond with the Wild Kratts kids, like Gavin, Ronan, Katie and Jenny?
