Are you guys ready for part two 12 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 1: of today's adventure? Me too. Let's go as Monty and Kai, 13 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,879 Speaker 1: we're hiding underneath the tree trying to figure out uh, 14 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: two very big things. One how to not be seen 15 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: by the purple blip that was flying the sky above them. 16 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: And two, how in the world to get the stinky 17 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: crystal outside of the hippopotamus then at an accident least? 18 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 1: Well would it? Why cause you have to swallow the crystal. 19 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: Oh well, let's find out what happens. As Monty and 20 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: Kai looked at each other, they realized that they had 21 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,680 Speaker 1: to act quickly and fast. All right, I think if 22 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: we're gonna be able to do what we I think 23 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: we need to do with the Do Doo, we need 24 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 1: to get that hippo to eat a lot of food, 25 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,479 Speaker 1: said Kai. Do you know like what hippos like to eat? 26 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: Monty pulled out his Spye manual and turned over to 27 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: the page of hippopotamuses and looks like they like to 28 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: eat grass and watermelons. Did you say watermelons? Said Kai. Yeah, 29 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: it says right here that like one of their favorite things, 30 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: it's watermelons, said Monty. Let's see if Spology Squad can 31 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: send us something to help us with all these watermelons, 32 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: because I think we're gonna need a lot of them. 33 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: Shs Biology Squad, this is Manty and Kai. We need 34 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: you to send us like a lot of water melons. 35 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: Sh Did you say watermelons? Said Ava. Sh Yes. It's 36 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: kind of a long story and hard to explain, but basically, 37 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 1: we have a hippopotamus that has something in its belly 38 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: that we need and we so we need the hippopotamus 39 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: to eat a lot so then he will, you know, 40 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: go to the bathroom, and then we will be able 41 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: to rescue the thing. That's missing, but we just need 42 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: all a bunch of watermelons. Can you send us some, 43 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: sh Well, since watermelons are really heavy, we're gonna need 44 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: to dehydrate them, said Ava. I'll have Jaden send you 45 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 1: some on the drone, probably a dozen that are dehydrated watermelons, 46 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: and then you just need to pour a little bit 47 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: of water on them and then they will grow into 48 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,399 Speaker 1: real size watermelons. We'll get right on it as soon 49 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: as possible. Over and out sh While Monty was on 50 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: the walkie talkie with Spiology Squad, Kai was using his 51 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: binoculars to keep an eye and that purple blimp in 52 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,239 Speaker 1: the sky. Have you ever seen the purple blimp before? 53 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: In the sky, they are always flying around either looking 54 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: for very very stinky things or just you know, trying 55 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: to steal stuff. So if you smell something stinky or 56 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: you see the purple blimp, you've gotta let us know. 57 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: So down in the show nuts below find that text 58 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: sting number and you can text HQ if you see 59 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: or smell something super stinky. But just don't let that 60 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: number fall into the hands of the Purple Ninjas, because 61 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: we'll give it to doctors to keep breath, and then 62 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: we'll be in big trouble, Holy smoked Manty. Look at this. 63 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: Kai handed Manty the binoculars that he was using to 64 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: look at the purple blimp and pointed, and oh, no, 65 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: are those purple ninjas wearing scuba suits? Said Manty. Yeah, 66 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: it looks like they're about to jump into the lake 67 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: and start looking for the hippopotamus in their scuba suits. 68 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: That sounds dangerous. Those hippopotamuses can be pretty grumpy if 69 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: you come in on their territory, said Monty. And it 70 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: was just then that the drone from spiology squad arrived 71 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: and it had a little basket on it. Wait what's 72 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: inside there? Said Kai. They're sending us some watermelons. Wait, 73 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: these are not watermelons. They're super small, said Monty. He 74 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: was holding up about a dozen. It looked like golf balls. 75 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: Do you know what a golf ball is? That's how 76 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 1: big these watermelons were. You were a little confused. But 77 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: there was a note there that said just add water. Huh, 78 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: that's strange, said Kai. He picked one up and brought 79 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 1: it over to the lake and just dipped it into 80 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: the water and instantly, whoa, We turned into a diinormous, 81 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 1: delicious looking watermelon. How did they do that, said Monty. 82 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: I don't know, but it's genius, all right. We gotta 83 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,679 Speaker 1: start getting these watermelons back to their normal size fast, 84 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,840 Speaker 1: said Kai. They started throwing the watermelons into the water 85 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: and they were instantly poof. They expanded into a ginormous watermelon. 86 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 1: It looked very delicious. Okay, let's put these in this 87 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: grass field over here and hopefully that hippo will come 88 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: out and eat the watermelons, said Monty. Kai and Manty 89 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: both grabbed as many watermelons as they could, but it 90 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 1: was only one at a time. They had to make 91 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: a lot of trips back and forth from the lake 92 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: from where the watermelons grew from their golf ball seed 93 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 1: into the field that they needed to be in, and 94 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: pretty soon the trap was set. Well, it wasn't really 95 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: a trap, It was more just a really delicious looking 96 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: snack for that hippo, and it didn't take long before 97 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: that hippopotamus came sniffing up out of the water. Kai. 98 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,799 Speaker 1: We gotta get out of here. That hippo looks hungry 99 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: and don't want to get in the way of him. 100 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 1: And his watermelon, said Monty. Monty and Kai grabbed all 101 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: their stuff and climbed up a tree. You should have 102 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: seen it. That hippopotamus just started eating and swallowing the 103 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: whole watermelons, just like home, in one bite. His mouth 104 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: was ginormous. It was pretty impressive. There's no way I 105 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: could do that. That hippo blazed through all the watermelons 106 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: very quickly, and all of a sudden they heard a 107 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: rumble in his tummy. Manty, did you hear that? Said Kai. 108 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: Of course I did. That was the loudest tummy rumble 109 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: I've ever heard, said Monty. And then all of a sudden, 110 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 1: the hippopotamus did what he needed to do, if you 111 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: know what I mean, and it smelled terrible. Manty and 112 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: Kai couldn't believe it. That was a big pile of 113 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: stuff that they needed to to find. Well, hopefully the 114 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: k stinky crystal was in there. And just then, a 115 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: purple Ninja's head popped up out of the water. Remember 116 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,679 Speaker 1: he was in a scuba suit, and the hippopotamus turned 117 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: around and saw him. The hippo did not like seeing 118 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: somebody else in his territory and took off, charging towards 119 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: the Purple Ninja. Eh, so many, give me nymy. The 120 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: Purple Ninja took off, swimming as fast as he could, 121 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: being chased by that hippo. The Purple Ninja grabbed onto 122 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: a rope rope that pulled him out of the water 123 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: and back into the Purple Blimp. All right, as much 124 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: as I don't like saying this, but I think it's 125 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: time we get to work, said Kai. Hand me some gloves. 126 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: Monty put on some gloves and handed Kai a pair 127 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: as well. They needed to start digging through what that 128 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: hippopotamus left behind. Thankfully, it didn't take much longer and 129 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: they found the stinky crystal. It was very stinky, and 130 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: it made it even more stinkier that it was in 131 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: all that stuff from the hippopotamus. Oh. They cleaned it 132 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: off in the lake and put it in a bag 133 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: and sealed it up, put it in their backpack, and 134 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: off they blasted back to HQ to deliver the stinky 135 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: crystal up on the blimp lab. Doctor Sinky Breath was 136 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: not very happy Purple Ninjas. 137 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 2: Why are you so scared of a hippopotamus? He's so 138 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 2: fat and slow? 139 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: They're not slow, boss, I promise he trying to eat me. 140 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: He was so fast and the water. I don't care. 141 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 2: All I care is we don't have stinky crystal. And 142 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 2: it looks like it's gone now. It's not on our map. 143 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 2: The radar with that red blinking thing is gone and 144 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,559 Speaker 2: it's all your fault, Pa Ninjas. 145 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: Ah, great job Monty and Kay.
