"Almost there," Aviva bit her lip, typing as fast as she could, "and... Listo!" A brand new, blue disc popped out of the disc maker, ending up in her grasp. "One green sea turtle disc ready to go!"
"Way to go, Aviva!" Koki cheered, before calling back the blue Kratt. "Martin, come in. The disc is ready."
"Finally!" Martin was still swimming, keeping up with the baby sea turtles for DNA activation.
"Send it Jimmy!" Aviva then threw the disc at the napping ginger guy, along with Martin's CPS.
"Huh, wha-" Jimmy suddenly woke up, just in time to catch the disc and the suits, "Woah! Got 'em!" He then placed them on the teleporter. "And zap it!" The items disappeared in the blink of an eye, before reappearing in front of the Kratt in blue.
"Alright, thanks Jimmy!" Martin caught his suit in mid-air, followed by the disc. He threw on his suit. "Insert disc, touch baby animal," his finger rested on one of the sea turtles' tiny heads, "activate green sea turtle power!"
A blast of blue encompassed the Kratt's form, morphing into a humanoid sea turtle. And just like that, he was ready to save the day. "To the creature rescue!" He used his flippers to swim at full speed toward East.
From his point of vew, Chris could see Gourmand getting ready to cook Emerald. His eyes widened as the chef approached the vulnerable creature with...a CLEAVER.
"Gourmand stop!" Chris let out just as he was about to use it. "You can't do that!"
"Yes, I can!" Gourmand spat, a shred of frustration in his voice. "I'll make a huge profit out of this meal," he grinned.
"Who would want to eat a sea turtle anyway?" Chris asked, in an attempt to buy more time.
"Me, of course, and people who will pay me for it," he shot him a malicious glare, sending chills down the green Kratt's spine. "And now..." He rose the large knife high in the air, Chris' eyes getting teary at the sight, before bringing it down at the turtle's neck.
"NOOO!" Chris looked away, his eyes closed shut, tears slipping from the corners. He waited for the sound of a blade slashing through skin... But it never came. Instead, was a sudden and unexpected-
BAM.
"Ow!" Gourmand shrieked, the cleaver flying out of his hand and into the water. Chris' eyes flew open as he took a look at the situation; Gourmand was holding his hand in pain, a metal object resting on the floor near him. Emerald seemed still alive. Immense relief washed over the green Kratt, followed by confusion.
"Where did that come from?" Gourmand growled, looking around for the source.
"The answer is right here."
A familiar voice came out of nowhere.
"Huh?" Gourmand looked puzzled. "Hey wait a second... I recognize that voice!"
"Martin," whispered Chris.
Out of the water, jumped a big blue turtle-shaped form, which was quickly surrounded by a blast of blue, blinding the chef. The form landed on the floor, not too far from the counter. Gourmand finally looked at the person, to find none other than-
"Blueberry?!" He was both flabbergasted and provoked. "Didn't expect to see yah anytime soon." He adopted a more defensive pose, as if he were preparing himself for a fight.
"Oh yeah, well I'm here to stop you from trying to cook our friend," Martin said proudly, none the wiser to the fact that Gourmand's hand, hidden under the counter, was feeling around for something that would help him deal with the disturbance.
