Are you guys ready for today's adventure? 15 00:00:50,479 --> 00:01:00,080 Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go. Calli was chasing Cassie around the 16 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: playground one day when she tripped over something sticking out 17 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: of the ground. Ouch, who was that? Callie yelped as 18 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,199 Speaker 1: she sat up after tumbling to the ground. She wiped 19 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: the dirt off her pants and went to find what 20 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 1: had tripped her. Cassie saw Callie looking around the ground 21 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: pushing dirt and wood chips out of the way, and 22 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: walked over to her. Did you drop something, Cassie asked. 23 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: Callie shook her head. I was running and tripped over something. 24 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:37,119 Speaker 1: Gotta find out what it was. Then Callie gasped, whoa, whoa? 25 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: What is that? Cassie exclaimed. Callie had revealed a large 26 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: circular rock that looked like a trapdoor hidden in the ground. 27 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: A carving of a paw with claws covered the entire doorframe. 28 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: What the is that a carving of a dog print, 29 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: wondered Cassie. Kelly frowned at that. I think it's a cat. 30 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: Look at the claws. 31 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 2: Shash. 32 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: Kelly had placed her hand on the pap print and 33 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: both girls had to jump back as the door opened. 34 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 1: Inside there was a steep ramp leading down somewhere beyond view. 35 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: We have to see where this leads, Cassie pleaded, So 36 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: the two girls climbed into the trap door and down 37 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: the steep ramp into a dark tunnel. Holy smokes, would 38 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: you be that brave? I don't know, that's pretty brave. 39 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 1: They felt their way along the walls with their hands 40 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: and took very careful steps, struggling to even see what 41 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: was right in front of them. There was a light, though, 42 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 1: coming from a small opening up ahead. It wasn't big 43 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: enough for the girls to walk through, so they would 44 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: have to crawl. Callie peeked in first, She laughed, and 45 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 1: then crawled through. What is it? What'd you see? What's 46 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: in there? Said Cassie, but Callie was already on the 47 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: other side. Cassie got in her hands and knees and 48 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: followed through. The girls were now standing in a large 49 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: room covered in furniture. There was a big red couch 50 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: with claw marks on the sides, potted plants that were 51 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: all the same, leafy, green, and cat trees of all 52 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: sizes lining the walls. Cassie opened the closet and was 53 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: greeted with superhero outfits and green and red and blue 54 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: and purple masks. The outfits looked small, much smaller than 55 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: your normal superhero, and when Cassie pulled went out, she 56 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: noticed it had four legholes, even a spot for a 57 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: tail rattle. Ng Umnscler growled a voice from the entryway. 58 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 1: They whipped around to see a black cat in an 59 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: orange superhero outfit, arching its back and staring at them. 60 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,919 Speaker 1: Its tail puffed out like a feather duster. Whoa, whoa, 61 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: you scared me a waiter? Are you a superhero kitty, 62 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: Cassie asked, still holding the costume. The cat jumped up 63 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: onto the nearest cat tree and looked down on them, all. 64 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 2: Them super cat How DoLS her found our secret layre? 65 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: Callie shrugged. Oh, I I was playing on the playground 66 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 1: and I tripped over the door. Just then a stream 67 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: of cats came through the door, wearing superhero suits of 68 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: all different colors. The black cat filled the other supercats 69 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: in on the humans that were in the secret Layer 70 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: and began introducing them on Karma. 71 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 2: Littles, Whiskers, crook Shunks, Salom, Panel, Ronald and all the 72 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 2: rest of the cats are still out that are following Adoster, little. 73 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: Dargles, Bano Bano Bano. An alarm cut through and interrupted 74 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: their conversation. Sars urmans roll it down a girl? Uh 75 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 1: popular to some Tatma Comet said, gesturing to the plants 76 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: all around the room. Then, with a chorus of meows, 77 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: the superhero cats sprinted out the door. Cassie was right 78 00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: behind them. Come on, let's follow them. I gotta see 79 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: what that alarm was for. The girls scrambled out of 80 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,359 Speaker 1: the cat door and saw an orange tail disappearing to 81 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 1: their left. This was not the same way they had 82 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 1: come in. There must be more than one trap door, 83 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: Callie whispered excitedly. They followed the sound of meowing and 84 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: claws scratching in the ground until they saw a light 85 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: above them. The cats were exing up a ramp nowed 86 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 1: onto a farm. Above. The girls watched with their heads 87 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: poking out of the trap door. The super cats were 88 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: surrounding a chicken coop, yowling and hissing out into the distance. 89 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: Calie squinted, seeing coyotes sneaking or around toward the chicken coop. 90 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: The coyotes heard the cats, but they weren't scared, not yet. 91 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: But when they got close enough, the super cats spring 92 00:06:54,640 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: into action. Cats flew through the air, leaping, kicking, and 93 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: scratching at the coyotes. A gray tiger striped cat landed 94 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: on the back of a coyote and covered the coyotes 95 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: eyes with its paw, Hey, where'd everyone go? Who turned 96 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: out the lights? Whine the coyotes that spun around. The 97 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: cats continued pouncing and hissing until every last coyote had 98 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: ran away with its tail between its legs. The chickens 99 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: all clucked, happily thanking the supercats or protecting them. Quick 100 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: they're coming back, Cassie squeaked to Calli, and the two 101 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: girls quickly snuck back into the door, hiding behind the ramp. 102 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: No sooner had they hid than the supercats began leaping 103 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: through the trap door and bounding down the tunnel. The 104 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: girls followed them, but the cats didn't head back towards 105 00:07:55,240 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: the cat door. Instead they ran pasted it, this time 106 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: making left and right turns through the tunnels until they 107 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: popped up at another trap door. Now they were in 108 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: a backyard. A grill was smoking and a pack of 109 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: dogs were prowling around it, licking their lips. A big 110 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: juicy steak was placed on a plate beside the grill. 111 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: Oh dear waiting to go on, screeched the cats as 112 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: they launched themselves at the trespassing canines. The dogs were 113 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: surprised and tried to scare the cats off, but it 114 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: was no use. These were the brave super cats and 115 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: they were not going to let these dastardly dogs steal 116 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: any steaks. A tabby cat leaped in front of the 117 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: steak and started waving its arms in what the It's 118 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: like a kung fu cat? What since when dow cats? 119 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: No gung Fu? The dogs backed away as more supercats 120 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 1: jumped down in front of the grill. They all hissed 121 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: at once, and the dogs jumped into the air, running 122 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: out of the yard as fast as they could away 123 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: from those supercuts. No dog, we'll steal dinners and the 124 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: supercats said, he shouted comet. The other cats cheered in response. 125 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: They began to make their way back down the ramp 126 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 1: as the girls hid once again. Then they hit it 127 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: through the tunnels back toward their lair. Cassie and Kelly 128 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: followed behind.

They caught up to comment 133 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: in the front of the pack, that was so cool. 134 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: Can we please come back again sometime?
