In a dark and shallow cave, the Chupacabra growls as it crawl through its habitat. It looks around to see many smalls scattered bones across its way. Its claws scratch the rocky surface of the cave with its stomach growling for more food, more blood. It looks out the distance to see the light of the outside world. It looks away to crawls further into the darkness of the cave. It can't go out now, too much light. It could be spotted, which it doesn't want to be seen. The night keeps it well hidden. Humans will be asleep and the food will be alone with no protection. The night is kind to the Chupacabra, and it will wait to strike back.

But those humans last night, they stop it from getting its food. They took the one good place it was able to get food for the night, and they made it irritate. It scratch the Rocky surface again in anger as it roar in the darkness. It will have its revenge against those humans, but for now it will sleep to save its energy for the night. It will strike again at night, but it must look for a new food source to search.

Meanwhile, Aviva was just in the main room watching a clip of the Chupacabra as she was checking on the Kratt brothers' creature suits. She checks that the suits were not harm from the monster, but she also need to add some new features for the suits to be able to avoid any attack from the Chupacabra. She wants to make sure that she makes something to weaken the monster, no matter what. This is the monster, the urban legend she believe in, the legend she has seen once.

Chris and Martin were checking on each of the creature disc in their collections. They figure if they were going to go against the Chupacabra, they have to get the discs that would help them battle such monster, but they need to focus on the types of animals on the region they are currently on. Jimmy Z and Koki were flying the Tortuga to search for a new hot spot so they could continue their secret search for the monster.

"How about we can use the Banded Gila Monster disc? They're painful bite will send poison into its system, which will cause profound discomfort," explained Chris holding a Banded Gila Monster disc. "And we can try using the Bighorn Sheep as well to fight it off."

"That could be good for defense, and we can have the Bobcat or Coyote disc to try outrunning it," Martin said as he put the two creature disc in front of him.

"That would not work like that," Chris added. "The Chupacabra can run more than those two creatures. Trust me; I was chased as the Cactus Pygmy Owl and it almost leap to the air to get me."

The two brothers look at the animal disc seeing how they could use some of the discs, but they have to be aware of the monster's abilities and features. They look around to see Aviva watching the clips seeing the Chupacabra trying to catch Chris. She was so focus her face was close to the screen. They walk to her.

"Um Aviva, are you alright?" asked Martin.

"Yeah I'm fine. I'm just observing its movement," Aviva respond.

"Are you trying to find a way to stop it or maybe slow it down?" asked Chris.

"That and I might need you guys to do one thing for me."

"Sure Aviva, say what you want us to do?" asked Martin as he looks at the Chupacabra in fear.

"I need you to get a sample of it. I'm planning to make a creature suit with its abilities."

"What?!" the two brothers said loudly.

"Yeah, if we can't use different animal's abilities to stop it, then we have to fight fire with fire."

Martin did not like the news as he was practically shaking in fear to meet the monster once again.

"But Aviva, that's-"

"It could be difficult, but we can do it. We just need to get a small sample and we can retreat," said Chris as Aviva was happy to hear his words.

"But Chris, this monster is hard to get close to. I almost I got eaten by it."

"I know Martin, but if it's actually dangerous to harm people then we need something to ensure that it will not harm a human. It almost got a Wild Kratt kid and his family. Who knows what else it can do?"

Martin was pasting back and forward as he thought about. It's a dangerous creature to confront, but it's also a threat to any citizen close to the area. He could get really hurt, but his brother did almost sacrifice himself to save him. He can repay his little brother and can also protect others if they can able to stop it.

"Fine, I'll do it, but I need you guys to be careful when we face it again. I don't want to because it's food again."

Chris and Aviva nod to agree with Martin as they prepare to face it. Chris then look back at the video clip seeing the Chupacabra leaving. He hopes that his brother and himself doesn't fall prey to the predator.
