The next day, somewhere in the Sonoran Desert, another one of the Wild Kratts kids named Javier steps outside his house onto his front porch, before he then notices something and gasps.
A Gila Monster then crawled right underneath his front porch and settled down in the shade of it in order to get out of the hot sun.
"A Gila Monster!" Javier said, before he scaredly crept back into his house, and then brought out his CreaturePod and contacted the Wild Kratts.
Meanwhile, at the Tortuga...
"Incoming creature alert, coming from right here, in the Sonoran Desert." Koki said, as she answered the creature alert.
"Wild Kratts, come in! It's me, Javier." Javier said. "There's a Gila Monster under my house, and I'm scared."
"A Gila Monster?" Koki said, worriedly, as she had a feeling of what might happen next.
"A Gila Monster?" The Kratt brothers said excitedly in unison, as they appeared.
The Jurassic Siblings, Amber, Tyrana, Skylie, Bumpo, Hornster and Grubby, perked their heads up in delight and excitement.
"Yeah, he's sitting under my porch and won't go away." Javier said. "What do I do?"
"Hang on, Javier!" Chris said.
"We'll be right there!" Martin said.
"B-but we were just leaving the Sonoran Desert." Koki said. "We have to get resupplied."
Skylie then gave Koki a stern squeal, not wanting a repeat of what happened during the Roadrunner adventure, 2 days back.
"Skylie's right, Koki." Martin said. "Besides, there's a Wild Kratts kid afraid of a really cool creature. We've got to straighten this out."
"And plus there's still a lot for us to learn about Gila Monsters!" Chris said.
Amber, Tyrana, Skylie, Bumpo, Hornster and Grubby agreed, as they liked the Wild Kratts kids.
Chris then pushed a button, and the electronic table lowers down, creating a giant hole in the floor. which the Kratt brothers and the Jurassic Siblings jump down, and then land into the Createrra VX. Martin then hit the gas pedal, and they instantly drove off to Javier's house.
"Creature Mission: To learn the truth about the misunderstood Gila Monster." Chris said.
Meanwhile, Zach, who had somehow managed to get rid of the Skunk stink spray smell from when he got skunked yesterday, was spying on Javier, and constantly rewinding and playing again what he said about being scared of Gila Monsters.
"There's a Gila Monster under my house and I'm scared." Zach mocked, before he then found out... "What? It's those Wild Rats. Hmm, let's see where they're going. Zachbot, put a tail on them."
Not getting the memo, the Zachbot pinned a fake animal tail on the screen.
"Huh?!" Zach said. "I didn't mean literally! "Put a tail on them" means follow them! And spy on them!"
Meanwhile, the Kratt brothers and Jurassic Siblings have made it to Javier's house.
"Martin! Chris! Over here!" Javier said.
One of Zach's Zachbots then begins to spy on them.
"Hey, Javier." Martin said. "You okay?"
"Yeah, but I'm glad you're here." Javier said.
Then suddenly, Amber and Tyrana jumped out of the Createrra VX and ran up, as Amber then lunged forward and playfully tackled Javier before she then licked his cheek several times over.
Javier laughed as she did so, until she then stopped.
"Amber! Tyrana!" Javier said, happily.
He then sat up and hugged the little Raptor and T-Rex as they gently nuzzled him and Amber purred.
"How've you been, girls?" Javier asked them.
Chris and Martin then chuckled.
"And we see you already remember Amber and Tyrana." Chris said.
"Yeah." Javier said.
Then, Skylie, Bumpo, Hornster and Grubby all went up to Javier as well.
"And Skylie, Bumpo, Hornster and Grubby too." Javier said. "How're you guys doing too?"
And they all embraced with him.
"And I definitely remember all of you as well." Javier said. "And I'm also glad you all are also here as well."
Then that brought Chris and Martin back to why they and the Jurassic Gang were here.
"Where's the Gila Monster?" Chris asked, as they looked around.
"Right under there." Javier said, as he pointed to where it was, underneath his porch.
Amber, Tyrana, Skylie, Bumpo, Hornster and Grubby hopped off the porch and Chris and Martin crouched down to get a better look at the Gila Monster, who was resting in the shade.
"Whoa!" Both brothers said in awe unison.
Even the 6 young dinosaurs were amazed and intrigued by this awe-inspiring lizard.
"My grandfather told me that if a Gila Monster bites you, it won't let go until the sun goes down!" Javier said.
"Well, it's true that Gila Monsters have a very powerful bite and jaw strength like a power wrench." Chris said.
"Aha!" Zach said, while spying on them. "Jaw strength like a power wrench?"
"But even a Gila Monster doesn't hold onto a bite all day." Chris said.
Gila monsters can bite with a standardized anterior force of 35.7 – 94.3 Newtons and a standardized posterior force of 55.0 –1 45.1 Newtons, with males biting harder than females. Their bites are forceful and can cause serious pain and injury. Gila monsters may also chew on the wound to release venom into it, and they may not let go for several seconds or until they feel safe. But even they do not hold on to a bite all day long.
"There are a lot of misunderstandings and myths about the Gila Monster, and you are lucky enough to have one living under your porch so you can get to know the real Gila Monster." Martin said.
"Jaw strength like a power wrench?" Zach noted. "Hmm, and the boy said they'll hold on till the sun goes down."
Clearly Zach had taken the old Gila Monster myth too seriously and literally.
Then, he gasped.
"I've just had another brilliant idea!" "I'm going to produce a line of Gila Monster power wrenches and sell them in hardware stores all over the world and make billions of dollars!"
He then cackled evilly.
"And this is what my Gila Monster power wrenches will look like!" Zach said, with a drawing of another one of his pathetically outrageous animal robotic designs. "Now I just need Gila Monsters."
"Okay, a Gila Monster is nobody to be scared of." Chris said. "For starters, a gila monster spends 95% of his life just resting in the entrance of a burrow."
"And you are just about the luckiest kid in the Sonoran Desert because this gila monster has chosen your porch as his burrow." Martin said.
"I don't want a Gila Monster under my porch." Javier said.
"Uh, okay. How about this?" Martin said. "Gila monsters are one of the few venomous species of lizards in the world with a poisonous bite but their venomous bite is a defensive bite. Gila monsters just like to hang out and be left alone."
"Nah." Javier said, as he went back inside his house and peeked out from behind one side of the door.
"I'm telling you, Javier, Gila Monsters are so cool." Martin said.
"I don't want a Gila Monster under my porch." Javier insisted.
Amber and Tyrana shook their heads and Bumpo and Hornster snorted dismissively.
"Oh, this is going to be a tough nut to crack." Martin said.
"I know." Chris said. "He is a big lizard."
"And to a little kid like Javier, he must look scary." Martin said.
"But if we were littler than him..." Chris said.
"And we weren't scared..." Martin added, getting what Chris was thinking.
"Then maybe he wouldn't be scared either." Chris said.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking, bro?" Martin said.
"I think so." Chris said.
"The Miniaturizer?!" Javier said, as he walked back out onto the porch, starting to feel rather more cheerful and excited.
"You got it, buddy!" Martin said.
"And we're going to get mini-sized." Chris said, as he pulled out the Miniaturizer.
"And go under your porch and prove to you that humans don't need to be afraid of Gila Monsters." Martin said.
Chris then deployed the Miniaturizer, and he and Martin then shrunk down to Gila Monster size.
"Alright, let's go visit a Gila Monster." Martin said, as they jumped off the Miniaturizer.
"Amber, Tyrana, Skylie, Bumpo, Hornster, Grubby, you all stay normal-sized and guard the Miniaturizer." Chris said. "Okay?"
The Jurassic Siblings each gave Chris a head nod.
"Be careful." Javier said, as they went up to meet the Gila Monster. "You said he's got a venomous bite."
"He doesn't want to bite anyone." Chris said, as the Gila Monster then closed his eyes and went to sleep. "He just wants to be left alone and asleep in his burrow." He then began to examine the Gila Monster. "Wow, look at that color. Most Gila Monsters are orangey-peach and black, swirled together into really cool patterns.
"And that color is a bright warning letting other animals know that this gila monster has a toxic bite so they don't mess with him." Martin said.
Then Martin noticed something, and gasped.
"Uh-Oh." Martin said.
"A Bobcat!" Both brothers said in unison.
A Bobcat stood before them with a hungry look in his eyes.
"The gila monster's sleeping!" Martin said.
"The Wild Cat can take advantage of that." Chris said.
The Bobcat slowly approached them.
"Wake up! Wake up!"
The Gila Monster then woke up and noticed and hissed at the Bobcat, who then quickly backed off.
"Whoa, Gila Monster held him off."
"Cool!" Javier said, impressed.
"The Gila Monster is a creature who makes peach a tough color." Martin said.
"Ewww, what kind of monster is peach color?" Zach said, disgustedly. "I'll just paint my Gila Monsters to be more red and tough-looking. That's better."
"So you see, a Gila Monster can be tough and does have a venomous bite, but having one under your house is nothing to worry about." Chris said.
"Yeah, I guess I am kind of lucky." Javier said, admitfully.
"No, I'm really lucky." Zach said, rhetorically, even though, really, they can't hear him. "You've led me to my next big thing: Zach's Gila Monster wrenches! Now I just need the Gila Monsters to power them. Hmm, but I'll leave that one to distract the brothers. You! Get out there, Zachbot. Collect all the Gila Monster Lizards you can find."
He then cackled evilly.
Meanwhile, Javier, Chris, Martin and the Jurassic Siblings were still observing the Gila Monster.
"See, Javier, he just likes to have his peace and quiet." Martin said.
"Yeah, he's pretty cool." Javier said.
"Told you." Chris said.
Then the Gila Monster awoke and got up.
"He's on the move." Martin said.
The Gila Monster then stopped and looked up at the Jurassic Siblings, who looked curiously at him, but still respected him, nonetheless. But he, himself, respectfully showed no signs of defensiveness and continued on his merry way as he crawled underneath Amber and through and between her legs.
"Let's give him some space." Chris said. "Actually, let's see what he's up to. Come on, Javier!"
Chris, Martin, Amber, Tyrana, Skylie, Bumpo, Hornster and Grubby then followed the Gila Monster.
"Are you sure?" Javier asked.
"Sure, I'm sure." Chris said. "It'll be fun!"
"Okay!" Javier said, as he caught up with them.
"This is so rare to see a gila monster on the move." Chris said. "Gila monsters only come out a few months of the year."
"In the spring... March, April, and May... they come out for a spring feast of small mammals, birds, reptiles, and... eggs!" Martin said, as they and the Gila Monster then came upon an abandoned bird's nest, and he takes one of the three eggs in it out and fits it in his mouth.
"A Gila Monster only has to eat three meals like this, and he's good for the whole year." Chris said.
"I have to eat three meals every day." Javier noted.
The Gila Monster then swallows the egg in his mouth whole.
"He's swallowing them whole!" Javier said in amazement.
The Gila Monster then takes another egg out of the nest and proceeds to swallow it whole, before taking the last one out of the nest.
"Cool!" Javier said, amazed.
"Yeah. Gilas really pack it in!" Chris said, as the Gila Monster finished eating and headed back to the shade of Javier's front porch with him, the Brothers and the Jurassic Siblings all following close behind.
"Wow. Gila monsters are pretty slow walkers." Javier said.
"Hey, why hurry when you don't have to?" Martin said.
Meanwhile, Jimmy was in the cockpit of the Tortuga, listening and humming to music, when he then noticed a Zachbot passing by outside.
"Hmm? Uh-Oh." Jimmy said. "Hey, Koki, Aviva, I just thought I saw a Zachbot. Do you see anything up there?"
"I'll go look." Aviva said, with a pair of binoculars.
She looked out through them on the Tortuga balcony, and spotted another Zachbot.
"Yeah, I got one over here!" Aviva said.
"And over here!" Koki said, spotting another one.
"What do you think, girlfriend?" Aviva asked Koki. "Let's find out what they're up to."
"I'm with you." Koki said, as they headed down to the garage.
They then came out of the garage and chased after the Zachbots, who were capturing Gila Monsters, on the Hoverbike.
"Stop!" Aviva shouted.
"Get back here with those Gila Monsters!" Koki shouted.
"Zach's capturing Gila Monsters, but why?" Aviva said.
"It says here that in the Sonoran Desert, there are only several thousand left in the wild." Koki said.
"Well, whatever he's doing, the Gila Monsters are in there." Aviva said. "Let's go!"
Zach's plane then landed and the hatch door opened.
"Now, that's my good Zachbots. You brought me lots of Gila Monsters." Zach said, before he then noticed Aviva and Koki. "Wha? But you also brought me two Wild Ratts! Bad robots! Bad!"
"Zach, put those Gila Monsters back, right now!" Aviva demanded.
"Or we'll either force you to, or put them back for you!" Koki said, strictly.
"Oh, of course, you're right." Zach said, retortfully. "I'll get right to that after I... fire Disrupto-Beams!"
He then fired a Disrupto-Beam at Aviva and Koki, which causes the Hoverbike to break and fall apart.
"Ha! How do you like it now, Bitches?!" Zach asked, vulgarously.
He then went back inside his plane, cackling, as the hatch closed back up.
"Ugh, I do not like seeing my inventions destroyed, especially by Dicks like Zach!" Aviva said, frustratedly. "Okay, now, I'm mad."
"Well, if he wants Gila Monsters, let's see if he can handle some Gila Monster Power Suits." Koki suggested.
"Great idea, Koki." Aviva said. "Come on, time to do some inventing."
They then headed off to inform Chris, Martin and the Jurassic Siblings of what is going on.
Meanwhile, they and Javier were still with and following the Gila Monster.
"We're almost back to my house." Javier said.
"Yeah, he's heading for the shade under your porch." Martin said.
But then, suddenly...
"Whoa! Hold on!" Martin said. "Another Gila Monster, 12:00!"
Another male Gila Monster, to be exact, appeared and arrived on the scene.
"Look out, both are males." Chris said. "When they meet, I think we're going to have a rarely-seen-before creature moment."
"A Gila Monster battle!" Both brothers said in unison.
The two male Gila Monsters approached each other menacingly.
The other male is much younger than the Kratts' male, but he could still be a rival, nonetheless.
The Brothers climbed up onto Javier's back as they and the Jurassic Siblings watched the Gila Monsters prepare for battle.
"Gila Monsters may be slow, but when they strike, they never let go." Chris said.
Their Gila Monster made the first move and clamped down on the other male's neck, before he then bit down on his left front limb, and then they started pushing and shoving each other.
"These are one of the heaviest lizards in North America, and they are throwing their weight around." Martin said. "This makes it easy, I'm going to name him Lockjaw! Because when he bites, he locks on."
But which one's Lockjaw? Chris asked.
He's the one that lives under my house, and he's awesome!
"Whoa, he got a hold!" Martin said.
"And he got a hold!" Chris said.
"They both got a hold!" Both brothers said in unison.
Amber, Tyrana, Skylie, Bumpo, Hornster and Grubby were amazed and intrigued by the battle.
"Wow! Gila fight!" Aviva said, as she and Koki had just arrived and were amazed by the fight as well.
"Okay, now this is some power that can easily take on Zachbots." Koki said.
"Powerful bites and tough, beaded skin to protect from bites. Add those muscular limbs, impressive claws..." Aviva said.
"Which give the gila monster his fantastic digging powers!" Martin said.
"This is exactly the kind of information I need in order to make my Gila Monster Power Suits." Aviva said.
"Oh, yeah!" Both brothers said in unison, as they then high-fived.
Soon, Lockjaw and the other male Gila Monster eventually broke their fight and continued on their merry ways.
"Okay, today it's a tie." Chris said. "This is springtime and Lockjaw and the other Gila Monsters are most concerned with filling up their bellies."
"Hey, Aviva, thanks for getting started on those Gila Monster pow- whoa- oof!" Martin said, as he then fell off Javier's back as he stood back up and fell onto the back of the younger male Gila Monster. "And don't forget, Gila Monsters have bumpy scales!" He then slid off the Gila Monster's by down his back tail. "Whoa- oof! Oh, and tails that store extra fat as well. It's going to be fun to try those suits out."
"Uh, fun will have to wait." Koki said. "We forgot to mention we've got a creature crisis. While you've been observing this Gila Monster, Zach's been collecting others all over the Sonoran Desert. And we're not sure what he's up to."
Amber and Tyrana lightly snorted in ponderation.
"I've got some good observations to start with, but I need my inventing equipment, pronto." Aviva said, before she then contacted Jimmy on her CreaturePod. "Jimmy, can you bring the Tortuga over to Javier's house?"
"Sure thing." Jimmy obliged.
"Great." Aviva said. "I'm on it!"
"Hey Aviva, when you're programming the creature powers, don't forget about tremendous bite strength." Chris said.
"And scales like round beads." Martin said.
"Tails that store extra fat, and a powerful strike." Chris said.
"Warning colors." Martin said.
"Ooh, venom!" Chris said.
"I've got it! I've got it!" Aviva said.
"Look! The Gila Monster's going back to my house!" Javier said, as he rushed back over to his front porch.
"Hey, how'd you guys do that?" Koki asked. "He really likes the Gila Monster now. How'd you change his mind?"
"It wasn't us." Chris said.
"It was the coolness of the Gila Monster!" Martin said.
"And as the day gets hotter, the Gila Monster has to find a cool place to rest." Chris said. "He's got that scaly skin to keep the moisture in, but even this lizard can't stand the intense heat of the high desert sun."
"That's why he likes it under my porch." Javier said.
"Yeah. But what does Zach like about Gila Monsters?" Martin wondered, as he then started pacing back and forth in thought. "Okay, now this cold-blooded lizard is the height of creature cool. There is no way we can let Zach collect them, and we've got to rescue the ones he's already caught. But what could Zach be up to? Whoooaaa!"
"Walk much, bro?" Chris asked.
"Uh, I tripped." Martin chuckled, awkwardly.
"Tripped? Over sand?" Chris inquired.
"No, over something in the sand." Martin answered.
He then started dusting off some of the sand to reveal what he tripped over is, and then gasped in delight.
"Gila Monster eggs!" Both brothers said in delightful unison.
"Cool!" Javier said. "I have Gila Monster eggs under my porch?!"
"And there aren't many Gila Monsters left." Chris said. "Every egg- every gila monster- is precious. We've got to stop Zach and return the Gila Monsters back, living free and in the wild."
"Koki, Javier, you guys stay here and protect Lockjaw and the eggs so Zach can't get them." Martin said.
"Got it." Javier said.
"If Zach tries to mess with the gila monsters, hmm- I'll bite him." Koki said.
The Jurassic Siblings, especially Amber and Tyrana, gladly, agreed and Javier laughed.
"And we'll go rescue the others. Real size!" Martin said, as he and Chris headed to the Miniaturizer to get back to normal size.
"Come on, guys!" Chris said to the Jurassic Siblings who all followed in suit.
Both brothers hopped onto the Miniaturizer, then Amber pushed the Big-Size button with the tip of her muzzle and they grew back to normal size.
"Thanks, girl." Martin said.
Amber lightly chirped to say "You're welcome."
"To the creature rescue!" Both brothers said in unison.
The Kratt Brothers and the Jurassic Gang then hopped into the Createrra VX, and headed off up the road.
"Uh, we're definitely off on a creature rescue, but where are we going?" Martin asked. "Where's Zach's plane?"
"Uh... good point, bro. I have no idea." Chris answered. "But there's always a good way to find out."
He then contacted Koki.
"Hey Koki, can you give us a location on Zach's plane?" Chris asked.
"Well, sure I could, if I was in the Tortuga." Koki replied. "But I'm under a porch guarding a Gila Monster.
"Oh, yeah." Chris said, remembering that.
"Hm. Okay, if I were Zach, where would I hide?" Martin wondered.
Chris then contacted Jimmy.
"Hey, JZ, can you give us a location on Zach's plane?" Chris asked.
"You're right on track, guys." Jimmy said. "Keep heading north."
"There!" Both brothers said in unison.
"We've got him!" Chris said.
And not a moment too soon.
"Bros, I've got good news!" Aviva said, as she contacted them. "The Gila Monster Power Discs are complete! Heads up, Jimmy!"
She then tossed the discs to Jimmy.
"Energize!" Jimmy said, as he teleported the discs to the Brothers.
"Awesome!" Martin said. "Gila Monster Powers. I can't wait to use them."
Meanwhile, in Zach's plane...
"Production of the Gila Monster power wrenches is going as planned." Zach said, as one Gila Monster was wrongly and irrationally put into suspended animation. "I am harnessing the Gila Monster's bite to power wrenches with incomparable grip!"
Zach strained as he did a test with one, which wasn't going so well, fortunately, until a Zachbot cheatfully helped him out
"It works!" Zach said. "Zach's monster-power wrenches are going to be the greatest power wrenches in the hardware stores! And I'll make billions!"
But as you and I know, little does Zach know, as usual, with literally no brains at all, that his plan was literally going to have a wrench be thrown into it once again.
Back outside, Martin, Chris, Amber, Tyrana, Skylie, Bumpo, Hornster and Grubby peeked from behind a large rock at different angles.
Martin then pulled out and looked through a pair of binoculars.
"How are we going to get past that bot?" Martin said, as he saw a Zachbot standing guard outside. "He's blocking the entrance."
"How about the old "video projection of a creature" trick?" Chris suggested.
"Ho-ho! Great idea, bro." Martin said.
Chris then projected a Gila Monster with his CreaturePod, which got the Zachbot's attention.
"He's falling for it." Chris said. "It doesn't know it's a video. It thinks it's an actual Gila Monster."
The Gila Monster video projection then began to lure the Zachbot away from the entrance.
"But if you keep moving slow and natural like that, he's going to catch it and find us out." Martin said, as he then took Chris' CreaturePod. "Hmm. Let's speed things up."
He then fast-forwarded the Gila Monster video projection.
Both brothers laughed a little bit.
"The Zachbot doesn't know Gilas walk slow on four feet." Chris said.
"So how about two?" Martin suggested, as he sped things up a bit more, only on two legs now.
And then…
"Fly away, little lizard, fly away!" Martin said, as he then made the Gila Monster video projection start flying into the air, as the Zachbot then chased after it.
Both brothers started laughing their heads off and the Jurassic Siblings thought it was funny as well as Amber and Tyrana each made a snickering, laugh-like growl.
"Okay, okay, pull it together, bro." Chris reminded his brother.
"Yeah, yeah, I know, I know, we're on a creature mission." Martin said, remembering their mission.
Chris then checked to see if there were other Zachbots in the area.
"The coast is clear." Chris said.
They and the Jurassic Gang then stealthily tip-toed over to Zach's plane.
"So what's Zach up to this time?" Chris wondered.
They then snuck into Zach's plane and hid behind some crates.
Chris and Skylie, with her long neck, peeked over from behind to get a better look and saw a Zachbot loading up Zach's Gila Monster power wrenches in a box.
"I can't stand how Zach uses animals as spare parts." Chris said.
"Yeah, and no better way to turn the tables than rescuing our lizard friends with Gila Monster Powers!" Martin said.
They then snuck over to where the other Gila Monsters were, and Martin and Chris then pulled out their Gila Monster Power Discs before inserting them into their Power Suits.
They were then about to touch one of the Gila Monsters when one then hissed at them.
"Shhh!" Martin shushed the Gila Monster.
"He's just reacting in his natural way." Chris said.
"True, but he's giving us away." Martin said, gesturing to a Zachbot that heard the Gila Monster hissing.
"Quick!" Chris said.
"Activate Gila Monster Powers!" Both brothers said in unison, as they then touched some Gila Monsters.
They both then quickly activated into Gila Monster Power Suits.
The Zachbots began to come at them from all different directions and angles.
"Ready for some Gila Monster combat?" Martin asked.
"Oh, yeah." Chris replied.
The Jurassic Gang then kicked in their natural battle instincts and made a stand against the Zachbots with the Gila Monster Kratt bros.
"Engage bite power!" Martin said.
"Wha?!" Zach said, as he then turned to the battle scene.
The brothers then use their Gila Monster jaws to clamp onto the Zachbots and throw them around, while Amber and Tyrana bite and slash them with their teeth and foot claws, and Skylie, Bumpo, Hornster and Grubby lash and strike them with their tails, while Hornster also rams and smashes them with his horns and frill as well.
"Grrr! Enough!" "I figured you two and your pathetic pet lizard-thingys would show up and try and mess up my plan, so I have a surprise for you while you're standing right there."
Martin and Chris glanced at each other, worriedly.
"Buh-bye." Zach said, mockfully, as he pushes a button on his remote, and a roof hatch opens.
"Uh-Oh." Martin and Chris said in unison, as a trap then triggers and bounces them and the Jurassic Siblings out of his plane. "Whoaahh!"
"Oh-No, this is going to hurt!" Chris said.
"Oof!" Both brothers said in unison as they and the Jurassic Siblings hit the ground, all piled up on top of each other, with Amber on top.
"And just so you can't mess with me further, I'm prepared to go underground!" Zach said, as drills then protrude out of his plane, and it digs into the ground.
"Hey, I've got to admit, that's pretty impressive, except that Zach should have been paying closer attention to Gila Monster Powers." Chris said. "Gila monsters can dig!"
"Let's show him how." Martin said.
And so, undeterred, they and their dinosaurs then began to dig after Zach.
"I've beaten them this time! My plan is foolproof!" Zach said, before he heard a crashing sound, as his rivals have dug and tore through the wall of his plane. "Ugh."
"Except if the "fools" you're trying to beat have Gila Monster Powers!" Martin said.
"Release our Gila Monster friends, right now, Zach!" Chris demanded.
"No! Forget it!" Zach rebuked.
Amber and Tyrana angrily hissed at Zach.
"Hey! Don't any of you two give me any of that, you little hissy-shits!" Zach snapped.
Insulted, Amber and Tyrana furiously snapped back at Zach, causing to yelp in fright and stumble backwards against the cage, containing those of the Gila Monsters he has who weren't put into suspended animation just yet.
"Yeah, hey, nobody ever calls our Raptor and T-Rex that!" Martin snapped back at Zach as well.
"Ever!" Chris snapped as well. "Not even you, especially!"
"Grrr! Oh, Whatever!" Zach growled, annoyedly, as he then sits on the cage of Gila Monsters. "Anyways, I can assure you all, very well, that these slow-witted lizards are totally under my control."
But Zach clearly didn't know what was coming to him… from behind.
"Uh, careful Zach." Martin warned. "Gila Monsters have a powerful bite."
"He can't bite." Zach retorted, underestimatefully. "He can't even move."
"I'm not talking about that one, I'm talking about-" Martin said, before…
One of the Gila Monsters in the cage then clamps its jaws down on Zach's behind.
"Waaahhh!" Zach yelled, as he leaped into the air and then crashed back down hard.
"That one." Martin finished.
"Zach, we warned you to be careful." Chris reminded.
"Owee! Owee! Owee! Owee! Get It Off! It Hurts!" Zach yelled in pain, as he started jumping around painfully.
Amber and Tyrana each made a snickering, laugh-like growl, and Skylie, Bumpo, Hornster and Grubby all thought it was very funny as well.
"That's because of the venom." "The venom makes a gila monster bite hurt worse than normal. Some people just don't pay attention to the warning colors and the warning hisses and have to learn the hard way."
"Yeah, but even though Zach is so annoying, we've got to help him." "I mean, you've got to help anybody with a Gila Monster locked onto his behind."
"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!"
"Okay, Zach, we'll take you to the Tortuga first-aid clinic as soon as you release the Gila Monsters." Martin said.
"Okay, okay, okay, fine, just hurry!" Zach said as he hastily tossed his controller to Chris. "Owee-ow, ow, ow, owee!"
And soon enough, they release the Gila monsters.
"You're free!" Chris said, as the cage Zach was sitting on opened up, freeing the Gila Monsters.
"And so are you!" Martin said, as he, Amber, Hornster and Skylie pushed over a box, containing Gila Monsters still trapped in suspended animation, now freed from it,.
Chris, Tyrana, Bumpo and Grubby did the same as well.
All the Gila Monsters then started making their way up the giant hole to freedom.
"Get it off!" Zach whined.
"Uh, we can't." Martin said. "A Gila Monster lets go when he wants to."
"But don't worry, he won't hang on all day." Chris said. "And we'll help you out."
Eventually, The Kratt Brothers and Jurassic Siblings bring Zach to the Tortuga in the Createrra VX and brought him in on a flat-topped medical carrier.
"Hey, everybody! We've got a medical emergency!" Chris said
Zach is still whining.
"How did that happen?" Aviva asked.
"I'm sorry for stealing your inventions and calling you "Little Miss Science Pants" and capturing creatures, just please get it off!" Zach said, dramatically.
"Zach, quiet and don't move, and the Gila Monster will let you go." Chris said.
Which, of course, the Gila Monster does so and then crawls off Zach.
"Ow, it still hurts." Zach whined.
"Yeah, that's the venom." Chris said.
"And here's my special antivenom." Aviva said, as she then injected it into the spot on Zach's behind where the Gila monster bit him.
"No, not a needle!" Zach complained.
"Zach, I already gave you the shot." Aviva said. "It should already be feeling better."
"It does feel better, but it's still all your fault!" Zach said.
"What?" Aviva inquired.
"Why did you give me the idea that Gila Monsters are good for anything in the first place?" Zach said
Then he noticed Amber giving him a smugful smirk and holding the Gila Monster on the top of her head, and screamed a bit.
The Gila Monster then growled and hissed at him.
"They're dangerous." Zach whimpered. "Ahhh!"
Then he took off running, out of the Tortuga, screaming his head off.
Amber and Tyrana each made a snickering, laugh-like growl, and Skylie, Bumpo, Hornster and Grubby all smirked smugly.
"Well, at least he won't bother Gila Monsters anymore." Martin said.
Just then, Javier contacts them.
"The Gila Monster eggs are hatching!" Javier informed.
A few seconds later, They all watch as one of the Gila Monster eggs under Javier's porch hatches.
"He's just like a big one, but cuter." Javier said.
The egg finally hatches completely, and the baby Gila Monster hatchling emerges into the world.
"Que lindo." Aviva said, adorned.
"This is incredible." Martin chuckled. "When a Gila Monster hatches out, she is an exact replica of her parents, just smaller."
Yeah, Gila Monsters are the only lizards in North America that lay their eggs so they develop over the winter and hatch the next spring. Chris said.
Male Gila Monsters compete in wrestling matches that can last for hours to establish dominance and who get mating rights to a female. If a female is receptive, she raises her tail and the male moves his tail under hers to bring their vents into contact. Copulation can last from 30 minutes to an hour. Before they part ways, the female digs a hole and lays 2 - 12 oval-shaped, leathery eggs, about 5 inches below the surface, then she departs and leaves the male in charge of watching over them until they hatch. The eggs are not buried very deep so the heat of the sun can help incubate them. Incubation lasts about 117 - 130 days, or nearly 4 months. The eggs spend the winter developing below ground and then hatch the following spring after 120 - 150 days.
"That's so that the eggs hatch when food is abundant." Martin said. "And she goes off on her own to find her first feast."
Young Gila Monsters hatch vibrantly colored and are about 4 inches long, also looking like miniature versions of the adults They crawl to the surface are independent and don't need any protection from their parents and, so, begin life, and look for food, on their own.
The Gila Monster hatchling then finds a Fall Field Cricket and eats it.
"I love Gila Monsters!" Javier said. "And I'm so glad they live under my house."
Author's Note:
Four down, one to go.
In this episode, I feel like that they really should've just let Zach got what he deserved and just let the Gila Monster put him out of his misery by just killing him off, considering that he never stops, every time he is defeated. But, I can assure you all one day, that something like that is going to happen to him and the other villains with the exception of Paisley, since she's now reformed.
