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