Let's go as Monty and Kai, 13 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 1: we're hiding underneath the tree trying to figure out two 14 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: very big things. One how to not be seen by 15 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: the purple lip that was flying the sky above them. 16 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: And two, how in the world to get the stinky 17 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,959 Speaker 1: crystal outside of the hippopotamus that at an accident least 18 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: well would it? Why did he have to swallow the crystal? Oh? Well, 19 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,759 Speaker 1: let's find out what happens. As Monty and Kai looked 20 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: at each other, they realized that they had to act 21 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: quickly and fast. All right. I think if we're gonna 22 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 1: be able to do what we I think we need 23 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: to do with the Do Doo, we need to get 24 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: that hippo to eat a lot of food, said Kai. 25 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: Do you know like what hippos like to eat? Monty 26 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: pulled out his Spye manual and turned over to the 27 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: page of hippopotamuses and looks like they like to eat 28 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: grass and watermelons. Did you say watermelons? Said Kai. Yeah, 29 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,559 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 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: send us something to help us with all these watermelons, 32 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: because I think we're gonna need a lot of them. 33 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: Sh s Biology Squad, this is Manty and Kai. We 34 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: need you to send us like a lot of watermelons. 35 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: Sh Did you say watermelons? Said Ava. Sh Yes. It's 36 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: kind of a long story and hard to explain, but basically, 37 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 1: we have a hippopotamus that has something in its belly 38 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: that we need and we so we need the hippopotamus 39 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: to eat a lot so then he will, you know, 40 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,239 Speaker 1: go to the bathroom, and then we will be able 41 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: to rescue the thing that's missing, but we just need 42 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: all a bunch of watermelons. Can you send us some, 43 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: sh Well, since watermelons are really heavy, we're gonna need 44 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: to dehydrate them, said Ava. I'll have Jaden send you 45 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,679 Speaker 1: some on the drone, probably a dozen that are dehydrated watermelons, 46 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: and then you just need to pour a little bit 47 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: of water on them and then they will grow into 48 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,399 Speaker 1: real sized watermelons. We'll get right on it as soon 49 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 1: as possible. Over and out sh While Monty was on 50 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: the walkie talkie with Spiology Squad, Kai was using his 51 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: binoculars to keep an eye and that purple blimp in 52 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,280 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 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: for very very stinky things or just you know, trying 55 00:03:10,560 --> 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 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: Stinging number and you can text HQ if you see 59 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 1: or smell something super stinky. But just don't let that 60 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: number fall into the hands of the Purple Ninjas, because 61 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: we'll give it to doctors to keep breath and then 62 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: we'll be in big trouble, holy smoked Manty. Look at this. 63 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: Kai handed Manty the binoculars that he was using to 64 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: look at the purple blimp and pointed, and oh, no, 65 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: are those purple ninjas wearing scuba suits? Said Manty. Yeah, 66 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: it looks like they're about to jump into the lake 67 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: and start looking for the hippopotamus in their scuba suits. 68 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: That sounds dangerous. Those hippopotamuses can be pretty grumpy if 69 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: you come in on their territory, said Monty. And it 70 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: was just then that the drone from spiology squad arrived 71 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,440 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 --> 00:04:27,919 Speaker 1: these are not watermelons. They're super small, said Monty. He 74 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: was holding up about a dozen. It looked like golf balls. 75 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: Do you know what a golf ball is? That's how 76 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: big these watermelons were. You were a little confused. But 77 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: there was a note there that said just add water. Huh, 78 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 1: that's strange, said Kai. He picked one up and brought 79 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,400 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 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: delicious looking watermelon. How did they do that, said Monty. 82 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,119 Speaker 1: I don't know, but it's genius, all right. We gotta 83 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 1: start getting these watermelons back to their normal size fast, 84 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: said Kai. They started throwing the watermelons into the water 85 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 1: and they were instantly poof. They expanded into a ginormous watermelon. 86 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,200 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 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,279 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 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: was only one at a time. They had to make 91 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: a lot of trips back and forth from the lake 92 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: to from where the watermelons grew from their golf ball 93 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 1: seed into the field that they needed to be in, 94 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: and pretty soon the trap was set. Well, it wasn't 95 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 1: really a trap. It was more just a really delicious 96 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: looking snag for that hippo, and it didn't take long 97 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: before that hippopotamus came sniffing up out of the water. Kai. 98 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: We gotta get out of here. That hippo looks hungry 99 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: and I don't want to get in the way of him. 100 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 1: And his watermelon, said Monty. Monty and Kai grabbed all 101 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: their stuff and climbed up a tree. You should have 102 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 1: seen it. That hippopotamus just started eating and swallowing the 103 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: whole watermelons, just like home, in one bite. His mouth 104 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,359 Speaker 1: was ginormous. He was pretty impressive. There's no way I 105 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: could do that. But that hippo blazed through all the 106 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 1: watermelons very quickly, and all of a sudden they heard 107 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: a rumble in his tummy. Monty, did you hear that, 108 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: said Kai. Of course I did. That was the loudest 109 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 1: tummy rumble I've ever heard, said Monty. And then all 110 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 1: of a sudden, the hippopotamus did what he needed to do, 111 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: if you know what I mean, and it smelled terrible. 112 00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: Manty and Kai couldn't believe it. That was a big 113 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: pile of stuff that they needed to to find. Well, 114 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 1: hopefully the k stinky crystal was in there. And just then, 115 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: a purple Ninja's head popped up out of the water. 116 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: Remember he was in a scuba suit, and the hippopotamus 117 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: turned around and saw him. The hippo did not like 118 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: seeing somebody else in his territory and took off, charging 119 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: towards the Purple Ninja. Eh, somebony gimme enmy. The Purple 120 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: Ninja took off, swimming as fast as he could, being 121 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: chased by that hippo. The Purple Ninja grabbed onto a 122 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: rope rope that pulled him out of the water and 123 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: back into the Purple Blimp. All right, as much as 124 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: I don't like saying this, but I think it's time 125 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: we get to work, said Kai. Hand me some gloves. 126 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,440 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 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: hippopotamus left behind. Thankfully, it didn't take much longer and 129 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: they found the stinky crystal. It was very stinky, and 130 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: it made it even more stinkier that it was in 131 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: all that stuff from the hippopotamus. Oh. They cleaned it 132 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: off in the lake and put it in a bag 133 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: and sealed it up, put it in their backpack, and 134 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: off they blasted back to HQ to deliver the stinky 135 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: crystal up on the blimp lab. Doctor Stinky Breath was 136 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: not very happy Purple Ninjas. 137 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 2: Why are you so scared of a hippopotamus? 138 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 1: He's so fat and slow? They're not slow, boss, I 139 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: promise he trying to eat me. He was so fast 140 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: and the water I don't care. 141 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 2: All I care is we don't have stinky crystal. And 142 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 2: it looks like it's gone now. It's not on our map. 143 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 2: The radar with that red blinking thing is gone and 144 00:08:59,160 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 2: it's all your fault. 145 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: Ninjas. Ah, great job Monty and Kay. You guys saved 146 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:11,439 Speaker 1: the day and got that steaky crystal out of a 147 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,839 Speaker 1: hippopotamuss tummy.
