Wild Kratts: Creatures of the Deep Sea Page #2

---

Up and back and-- ah!

Goblin shark!

(Both yelling)

MARTIN:

Easy, sharky.

We're out of here.

Did you see those jaws?

They shot right

out of his mouth.

MARTIN:

Where'd he go?

He could be anywhere.

He acted like

an ambush hunter.

Hunting by surprise.

Ah! Surprise!

Ah! I don't like these

kinds of surprises.

KOKI:

I can't get

a tracking on them.

Their GPS transmitting

module is not responding.

Uh-oh.

How are we

going to find them?

I don't know. We're in

the Midnight Zone now,

3,000 to 13,000 feet,

or around the length

of 20 skyscrapers down.

No sunlight at all

reaches this far down.

This is what they mean

by the deep, dark sea.

MARTIN:

Oh, no.

Whoa!

CHRIS:

He's sucking us in!

BOTH:

Whoa!

Whoa!

Oof! Guess he didn't

like the taste.

Uh-oh.

MARTIN:

Not again.

I got a scan of the jaws!

Check it out.

Ooh...

CHRIS:

The jaws have ligaments

like rubber bands.

When his jaws are closed,

they're all stretched out,

but when he releases them,

his jaws catapult

outward in milliseconds!

MARTIN:

Well, it was great to

know how he captured us.

Now, it'd be really nice to

know if he's going to eat us!

Whoa!

Ah!

Whoa!

CHRIS:

Not this time!

Now we know Goblin sharks

don't like to eat Amphisubs.

Lucky for us,

they prefer fish.

Where are you guys?

What's wrong with

your GPS modulator?

MARTIN:

Ah, funny story. It kind of

got crushed by a Goblin shark.

Goblin shark?

(Groaning)

We'll never see

the warm, dry sun again.

No problem.

We'll shine a beacon light.

See you soon.

Okay, look for their light.

MARTIN:

Uh-oh, there are lights

everywhere down here.

CHRIS:

It's like outer space

with stars all around.

Yes, of course.

Lots of creatures down here

have built-in natural light.

Remember that anglerfish

we bumped into one time?

Right. So if you head

to a light in the deep sea,

you never know what

creature you're going to get.

How are we

going to pick one?

CHRIS:

Eeny meeny miney might,

pick a light

and hope it's right.

MARTIN:

If it isn't,

what will it be?

Brand new species

or monster of the sea?

Ha! That's the Tortuga.

Okay, that light it is.

Let's go.

I have a good feeling

about this, Chris.

Me too, Martin.

Hey, it's coming into view.

MARTIN:

The Tortuga?

CHRIS:

Um, I think we picked

the wrong light.

Hmmm...

Now what have we here?

I bet nobody has

ever cooked you before!

Come here, tasty little morsel.

Hey!

What?!

You got me!

Now I got you!

And we'll see how you taste.

Now get back here,

weird little fishy.

(Chuckling)

KOKI:

I hope Chris and Martin

can see our light

with all the other

light-producing fish around.

Okay, but I thought light bulbs

made light, not fish.

It's bioluminescence.

Some sea creatures can make

two different chemicals

inside a special body part

called a photophore,

and when they mix them together,

they make a glowing light.

It's kind of like a glow stick.

Two chemicals inside

and when mixed... it glows!

JIMMY:

But why do so many

sea fish have it?

Jimmy, quick.

Shine the light there.

AVIVA:

Go closer.

Okay, so I know those

zooplankton glow

to find each other and stick

together in the deep sea.

That's one reason for

bioluminescence:
communication.

KOKI:

And the deep sea shrimp

knows they do that,

so they're attracted to

lights hoping to get a meal.

AVIVA:

But bigger predators

know that little predators

like the shrimp do this,

so another use of

bioluminescence:
hunting.

That anglerfish has a

built-in fishing pole.

Wow! He really

fooled that shrimp.

AVIVA:

And there's a third use

of bioluminescence:

defense!

Wow, there are so many uses

for bioluminescence!

It's only one of

the most important

chemical reactions in the sea!

And you know what that means.

I do?

It means I've got to

figure out bioluminescence

for my next

Creature Power Suit!

I guess it's up to you and me

to find the lost Kratt brothers.

Do I have to do

everything around here?

Wow.

A dragonfish.

We hit the jackpot, bro.

These guys are the masters

of bioluminescence.

They use it for everything.

CHRIS:

Tell me about it!

Those photophores on

the side are for communication

with other dragonfish.

He can turn them on at will

when he has something to say.

MARTIN:

And the light on the tip

of the barbel is sometimes used

to confuse predators,

but mostly,

it's used as a fishing pole.

And wait,

what's that under his eyes?

Oh, got to scan this.

Whoa!

It's a special red light!

A spy light that other

fish down here can't see.

Humans can't see it either.

So dragonfish have

invisibility power!

They're like spies.

They can see with that light,

but other fish, like predators

and prey, can't see them!

Wow! Are you thinking

what I'm thinking, bro?

I think I'm thinking

what you're thinking.

I think we're thinking

the same thing.

MARTIN:

Aviva, come in!

Dragon Chasers here!

Dragon Chasers?

We need a dragonfish suit!

They have the coolest

bioluminescence.

Dragonfish?

Okay, I'm already working on

bioluminescence, so no problem.

Listen, guys, I hate to burst

your light show bubble,

but we still don't know

where you are and--

(Alarm sounding)

Ooh!

(Both gasping)

BOTH:

And our power is dying!

Exactly.

This is serious, guys!

In just a few seconds,

your power will go.

Uh-oh. If the power goes,

all systems will shut down

and you'll sink

like a stone.

That doesn't sound good.

I'll check

the reserve power.

Uh-oh, it's falling fast.

CHRIS:

No, no, no.

Come on. Come on!

We've got to get

that GPS working

so they can find us and now!

I'm on it!

Maybe I can retro-engineer

something.

Yeah, with what?!

There's nothing

but water around here.

I don't know! If I can reload

the transmogrifying circuit,

and attach it to

the P24 modulator

through the electrostatic

bypass, it might-- oh.

What?!

It just needs

to be plugged in.

(Huffing)

Goblin sharks.

BOTH:

Plug it in! Quick! While

you still have some power!

CHRIS:

Here goes!

(Powering up)

Ha-ha!

BOTH:

Yes!

No!

We didn't make it in time.

CHRIS:

We're doomed!

Oh, this is horrible.

They're falling

into the Abyssal Zone,

the deepest,

darkest part of the ocean,

13,000 to 20,000 feet,

over 40 skyscrapers deep.

We may never find them there!

KOKI:

Got it!

I got their coordinates

just a millisecond

before the power ran out!

Wahoo!

JIMMY:

All right.

Awesome, Koki.

Let's go get them.

Full speed ahead!

Hey! What?!

Why aren't we moving?

Huh? Aahh!

Is that what

I think it is?

Well, it's

not fried calamari!

Aaaah!

ALL:

It's... a Colossal squid!

KOKI:

Like we didn't

have enough problems,

now we have to be caught in the

clutches of a deep sea squid

the size of a bus!

If we can hold him off

a little bit,

I just might have an idea.

CHRIS:

We must be in

the Abyssal Zone now.

We've never, ever

been this deep before.

Yeah, we made it to a new

creature adventure frontier

for humankind.
