The Chupacabra

Chapter 7: What Now?

The sun rise in the clear blue sky as the Tortuga was now deactivating lock-down. The turtle ship stood tall before Chris and Martin exit out still wearing their creature power suit just for caution. The two brothers were looking around the desert area to see no sign of the monster they have encountered last night. Miguel quickly run out of the ship and went straight to his house. His patents follow him as they are aware the Chupacabra is still around the area. Koki, Jimmy, and Aviva stay put in the Tortuga for their safety and see through the cameras that were set at the house.

The young boy manages to enter the house to see it been invaded and trashed. His parents came behind to see the walls scratched at every counter, their family photos shatter and torn apart, and their belonging were either destroy or left alone on the ground.

"Everything thing we had, it's destroyed... ruined..." Miguel's father mumbles as his body fall to his knees.

"Miguel, check on the animals," asked Miguel's mother as the boy run to the back where the farm animals were being led by the Kratt Brothers.

"El Chupacabra, it has strike yet again," said the father as he look down to see one of the family photo on the floor. "This is going to happen to everyone else living nearby."

Miguel step outside from the back door as Chris and Martin walk besides the line of farm animals entering back to their home. With the animals safe and knowing what was attacking other farm animals of local people in a desert town, Miguel want to hear what the Wild Kratts was going to do about the situation.

"I know I want to have a creature adventure, but that was not I meant," said Martin in fear. "That creature was so scary. Its eyes were staring at me with hunger. I thought I was going to become its late night snack."

"I know what you mean. This creature is not like anything I ever since before," said Chris who sound worry.

"But we have to do something about the Chupacabra! Its killing many farm animal of the small town," mentioned Miguel.

'But Miguel, it almost cause harm to you, your family, and us. This is a bigger mission than we have ever done," replied Chris. "But we need to be fully prepared if we have to deal with the Chupacabra."

Martin looks at Chris with a surprised expression.

"You want to go back to face it?! I was close to its big jaws fill with sharp teeth! I'm going to stay put," said Martin as he cross his arms and close his eyes.

"But Miguel's right. We can just leave the defenseless creature put in harm's way. That is not what we do in a creature recuse," Chris replied as his brother was still not up to the task. "If you face the creature again, I might give you some of my creature disc powers."

From hearing creature disc powers, the blue Kratt brother opens his eyes with interest.

"I'm listening," he said as he looks at his brother.

"I can let you pick any creature you want, if you are up to the mission."

Martin looks at Chris again, but he was a bit scared to meet the monstrous creature he witness last night.

"Come on Martin, you are the awesome Kratt who like to go to adventures. No matter what was the mission was about. Heck, you fought robots from an evil genius, a mad chef with a crazy a, and crazy fashion designers who like to freeze people or take away their color," spoke Miguel as he look at Martin with puppy eyes.

Martin hear what the young Wild Kratt kid said about him, as he remembers the crazy adventures he and Chris has been task with as they have been helping one creature at a time. In the last second, Martin smile and pat at Miguel's had.

"Alright buddy, I'll do it for the creatures!"

Chris smile to see his brother up to the mission.

"By the way Chris, when we're done with this creature rescue, I get to decide which creature disc I want," said Martin with an evil grin, while Chris smile fade away in fear he was going to get some of the disc he enjoy to his himself.

"Whoa, look at this Jimmy," said Koki with Jimmy Z watching the footage they have capture from the cameras they have set on the Tortuga and on Miguel's house.

Jimmy was watching while eating potato ships in a bowl, and Aviva was watching the footage behind the two. The Chupacabra was seen at 1:43 am circling around the Tortuga where the whole group and Miguel with his family was taking shelter. Then three minutes later, it tried to claw at the metal turtle ship for access, but to no prevail. It even tried to climb on the ship, but it was not successful. Two hours into the video, a camera at Miguel's house capture the creature now running to the window and break through. This was must have cause the house to be invaded by hungry monster.

"Holy cow, I would not get close to it if it's that angry," said Jimmy in fear while continue to eat his potato ships.

"Me either. We have to be careful if we ever cross path with the creature again," said Koki as she was surprise of the feats the monstrous creature have shown in the camera footage.

"What do mean by again?" asked Aviva with a terrified expression. "We must not ever cross paths with it again. We almost died from it. Martin and Chris almost lost their lives just trying to protect the farm animals."

Koki and Jimmy at Aviva surprised to be this scare. They only see her happy, bother, or sad, but never in their lives they have seen their brilliant friend is this terrify. Aviva was scary close to death, knowing she has encounter with the creature before. After the incident, her life was scar and she never thought it would be forgettable, that is until she met the Kratt brothers when she was a preteen. In that moment, her life changed again, but for the best. She has found great friends who always want to save the animals from any danger. Then Koki and Jimmy Z join in, and the rest is history.

Aviva found happiness being with her friends, and being the smart person she is, she help them by inviting the gadgets and tools they need in creature rescues. The creature based vehicles, the creature disc, and the creature power suits. This was the life for, to provide her friends the support they need, and in return she would earn their happy reactions and their congratulation to her. She was finally at peace. That is, until the Chupacabra finally found its way to meet her again.

Her sweet happiness was turning into a terrible nightmare that night as the creature almost harms the people she cared about. She didn't want to happen, didn't want to see the creature, but now the creature was exposed to her, and see was beyond horrified to see one more time in footage.

"But we can't let the people here deal with the issue. They are in grave danger unless we do something about it," said Koki as she looks into Aviva eyes with determination.

"How about the Chupacabra? It almost got Chris and Martin. We can let ourselves get hurt from a dangerous animal," said Jimmy in fear.

"Then we have be ready next time," added Koki.

The two now look at Aviva to see what she would say. It was the choice to do something about the creature or to let the monster of the urban legend free in the wild and harming those that crosses its path. Aviva didn't know what to do. She didn't want to be near it or go investigate it, but at the same time, she doesn't want anyone else to go through the experience she once gotten from the time she was a little girl. She was conflicted, and she doesn't know what to say to her two friends standing in front her. They wait for her response. What will she do now?
