The Purple Ninjas ran 19 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: to the other side of the stinky blimp and looked 20 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,320 Speaker 1: through the freezer and the news was not good. 21 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 2: Boss. I think we're all out of the strawberry ice cream? 22 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 2: Is there anything else that you want? What?

Don't cry. We will 28 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 2: figure out a way to catch some Mars strawberry ice 29 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 2: cream right away. Just all that, Okay, don't cry. 30 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: Purple Ninjas, I'm counting on you. If you don't get 31 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: me the ice cream, does I want? 32 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 4: I will throw a big fit and cry and scream, 33 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 4: and then you'll have to clean up the boogery miss 34 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 4: after get to for Purple Ninjas. 35 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: Oh dear, yeah, the Purple Ninjas if they don't like 36 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: cleaning up doctor Stinkybreath's giant boogery mess after he has 37 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 1: a big fit that is disgusting. Well, meanwhile, down and 38 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: the ground, Calli and Macy were playing outside. They were 39 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: drawing with chalk on the driveway and having a ton 40 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: of fun. What's your favorite thing to draw with chalk? Well, 41 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: Calli and Macy they were playing a game kind of 42 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: like pictionary. Do you know the game where you draw 43 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,679 Speaker 1: something and then the other person has to try and 44 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: guess what it is that you're drawing. Yeah, and they 45 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: were playing the animal version animal Pictionary. Calli was drawing 46 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: a mystery animal, and it was Macy's job to try 47 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: and figure out what in the world that creature was. Uh, 48 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: is that a hippopotamus, asked Macy. No, that's not a hippo, 49 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: said Calli. Macy was standing above Callie's drawing, trying to 50 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: figure out what in the world kind of creature that 51 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: Calli was drawing. Had a very big belly, a short tail, 52 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: a strange looking head. And oh, oh I know, said Macy. 53 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: It's a rhinoceros. Nailed it, nice one, said Calli. All Right, 54 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: it's my turn, said Macy as she grabbed some chalk. 55 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, they both heard the same sound. 56 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: The two girls dropped their chalk and ran over to 57 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 1: get the walkie talkies. 58 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 5: Calli and Macy, this is HQ. We need your help. 59 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 5: There is an ice cream store in town that has 60 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 5: been attacked by butterflies. I know that sounds unusual, but 61 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 5: it is true. These butterflies have been stealing ice cream 62 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 5: all day long and the owners need help. Please grab 63 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 5: your gear and get to work over and out. 64 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: Sh Wait a second, what did he just say, said Cally. 65 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: Do they say, butterflies, said Macy. I love butterflies. I 66 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: can't wait for this one. Calli and Macy raced up 67 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: to get their spy gear, and boy are they in 68 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: for a big surprise when they get to that ice 69 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 1: cream store. I think this is a dream. I must 70 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: be dreaming. I love butterflies, said Macy. 71 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 2: Me too. 72 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: This might be the best mission we've ever gone on, 73 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 1: said Calli. Imagine a whole store full of butterflies that 74 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: need to be Oh, we gotta maybe they could be 75 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:38,239 Speaker 1: our pets, or maybe, oh maybe they'll be so friendly. Oh, 76 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,119 Speaker 1: I can't wait. The two girls got all their gear 77 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: and headed off to the ice cream store on their scooters. 78 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: As they were zooming down the street, they could hear 79 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:56,919 Speaker 1: screaming from afar Ah helper. Whoa where is that coming from? 80 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: Said Calli. It can't be from the ice cream store. 81 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: No one would be afraid of butterflies. But as the 82 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: two got closer and closer to the ice cream store, 83 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 1: they realized that that screaming was coming from, in fact, 84 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,359 Speaker 1: the ice cream store. What in the world could be 85 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: going on in there, said Macy. They're just butterflies. Who 86 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 1: is afraid of a little butterfly. They parked their scooters 87 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: and walked towards the door. Don't go in there, said 88 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: the store owner. These evil butterflies in there, and they're 89 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: ruining all my ice cream. Cally and Macy looked at 90 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: each other. They were confused. Wait, excuse me, sir, did 91 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: you say there's like evil butterflies in there? And why 92 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 1: are you afraid of them? Because they're shooting leva look. 93 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 1: The two girls pressed their foreheads against the windows and 94 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: cut their hands around their eyes so they could look 95 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 1: in better. And they couldn't believe it. There was lava 96 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: sprayed all over inside of the building. They could see 97 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 1: dozens and dozens of butterflies flying around, and it looked 98 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 1: like the butterflies were working together to scoop out the 99 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: ice cream into a really big bin. What are they 100 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: gonna do with that? Said Macy. Wait a second, lava 101 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: shooting butterflies. What planet are we on? Shouted CALLI. I 102 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: don't know, but there's gotta be something wrong with those butterflies, 103 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 1: and it's up to us to figure it out. They 104 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 1: both pulled out their spy gear and put on a 105 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 1: suit that would help the a little bit from the 106 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 1: lava but it wasn't exactly lava proof, but maybe it 107 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 1: would help a lot better than just the regular clothes. 108 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 1: They also pulled out a net blaster. That might be 109 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 1: a good way to catch them. All right, let's try 110 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,679 Speaker 1: and get one and take a closer look. Macy aimed 111 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: the net blaster and shooh, she was able to capture 112 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 1: two of them and pull them out and then close 113 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: the door again. It looked like the other butterflies were 114 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 1: getting angry that they stole some of their friends too too. Huh, 115 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: they're shooting lava balls at us. Look out, Calli and 116 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: Macy ducked for cover behind a rock as the butterflies 117 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: were still shooting these tiny little lava balls. They were 118 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: like the size of beads, but they were real lava. 119 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: How are they doing that? Said Calli. All right, we 120 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: need to capture them in something and take a closer look. 121 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe like a glass jar. Macy grabbed a jar 122 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: out of her backpack, and they quickly put the butterflies 123 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: into that glass jar from the net. Holy smokes, what 124 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: is that on there? Said Calli. You see on the 125 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: back of all of the butterflies or some kind of 126 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: look like a little backpack with a blast. Oh, that's 127 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: where the lava is coming from. There's like a lava 128 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: blaster that someone had put on the back of these butterflies. 129 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: How in the world old. 130 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 3: Our butterflies being controlled or shooting lava? 131 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: This is very confusing. Cally and Macy had never seen 132 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: or heard of anything like this. Have you ever heard 133 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: of lava shooting butterflies before me? Definitely not. Well, they 134 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: started to think and then came up with a really 135 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: great plan. Wait, Cally, don't we have some of that 136 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: a little bit of that magic sleeping powder left. Macy 137 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: was digging through her spy backpack, and finally there it was. 138 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: There was a little bit of powder in the jar 139 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 1: that they got from some unicorns a long time ago. 140 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: This was only for an emergency, and I think this 141 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: definitely qualifies. All right, let's test it first on these 142 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: butterflies in the jar here and see if it puts 143 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: them to sleep. They dropped a little bit of the 144 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: powder in the jar, and instantly the butterflies fell fast asleep. 145 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: Have you ever heard of butterflies? Nor me? 146 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 5: Neither. 147 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: That was pretty strange. While the butterflies were Calli and 148 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 1: Macy were able to remove that lava backpack blaster thing 149 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: from the backs of the butterflies, and then when the 150 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:13,599 Speaker 1: butterflies woke back up, they flew off happily as normal butterflies. 151 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 1: All right, that's what we gotta do. We gotta remove 152 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,559 Speaker 1: those backpack things from all the butterflies. I think we 153 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: gotta dump all that sleeping powder in the ice cream store, 154 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: and that will make all the butterflies fall asleep. As 155 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: Cali and Macy got to work, the Purple Ninjas were 156 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: very very sad. 157 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 2: Oh dear, do you guys see what's going on down 158 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 2: there at the ice cream store? Take a look at this. 159 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: One of the Purple Ninjas handed the other a pair 160 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: of binoculars. Remember they are up in the blimp, high 161 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: up at the clouds, right above that ice cream store. 162 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 2: Oh dear, is that one of the Spine team. Ugh, 163 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 2: Oh dear, somebody get the Kleenex ready. The boss is 164 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 2: gonna be really upset about this. 165 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: What are you talking about?
