CHRIS: On the continent of Africa, in the savanna and woodland regions, lives the mighty African leopard. And we're here in North America!

DESCRIPTION: Chris and Martin walk through a forest of tall trees. They both carry backpacks. Chris wears a green shirt, and Martin wears a blue shirt.

MARTIN: It's us, the Kratt Brothers. I'm Martin.

DESCRIPTION: Beside Martin, Chris is gone.

MARTIN: Chris?

DESCRIPTION: Chris’s backpack lies on the ground beside Martin.

MARTIN: Where's Chris?

DESCRIPTION: Martin looks around.

MARTIN SHOUTING: Chris!

DESCRIPTION: Martin starts walking. Elsewhere among the trees, Chris crouches.

CHRIS: If you're talking about leopards, it's all about stealth. Sneaking up on your prey, without being detected.

DESCRIPTION: In tall grass, a leopard pauses and looks around. In the forest, Martin furrows his brow.

MARTIN: Where's Chris? I think I know what my brother's thinking. He's tracking me down... and I'm the prey.

DESCRIPTION: In a field, a gazelle flicks its tail. In the forest, Chris creeps alongside a bush.

CHRIS WHISPERING: Of all the big predators in Africa, the leopard relies on stealth more than any other.

DESCRIPTION: In the tall grass, the leopard moves slowly. In the forest, Martin looks around.

MARTIN WHISPERING: Prey has to be wary when a leopard's around. They look... listen. A leopard could jump out at any moment.

DESCRIPTION: Martin looks behind him. Chris crawls on the ground,

CHRIS WHISPERING: The leopard's spotted coat is for camouflage. A leopard tries to get really close. Within about 6 meters, before...he pounces.

DESCRIPTION: Martin walks between the trees. Chris jumps out and grabs him by the shoulders.

CHRIS: Gotcha!

[Martin chuckling]

MARTIN: I knew it!

[Chris chuckling]

MARTIN: I knew you were in leopard stealth mode! One of the leopard's best powers.

CHRIS: Along with its amazing climbing power, of course! Even from a young age, leopard cubs practice their climbing power, with their brothers and sisters.

DESCRIPTION: A leopard climbs up a tree. Two leopard cubs wrestle in a tree.

MARTIN: Because they'll need to become masters of stealth and climbing, just like their mom.

DESCRIPTION: A leopard cub rubs itself against its mother.

[Leopard mother softly growling]

DESCRIPTION: Chris and Martin continue through the forest.

CHRIS: Imagine if we could stalk, prowl and climb like a leopard.

MARTIN: Imagine if we had leopard powers!

DESCRIPTION: Chris and Martin leap forward.

[Text reads] Created by Martin Kratt and Chris Kratt. Written by Chris Kratt. Directed by Chris Kratt and Louis Champagne.

[Grunting]

DESCRIPTION: Martin and Chris hike with large backpacks.

[Martin sighing]

MARTIN: So heavy.

DESCRIPTION: Chris drops his backpack on the ground and lies across it. Martin sits and leans back against a boulder.

[Chris and Martin groaning]

CHRIS: I need an energy break!

MARTIN: Me too.

DESCRIPTION: Chris sits on a log. He drags his backpack upright and pulls out a sandwich in a paper bag.

[Chris grunting]

CHRIS: Oh, I'm so hungry for this sandwich.

MARTIN: Me too.

DESCRIPTION: Martin pulls an empty paper bag out of his backpack.

MARTIN: Aw, but I ate mine already...

DESCRIPTION: Martin glances at Chris. He runs over and takes Chris’s sandwich. Chris falls off the log.

[Chris yelping]

CHRIS: Hey!

MARTIN: Sorry bro, I'm bigger, so...

DESCRIPTION: Martin tries to take a bite of the sandwich, and Chris steals it back.

[Chomping]

CHRIS: ...and I'm faster! Sooo...

DESCRIPTION: Chris bites into his sandwich.

[Munching]

[Martin grumbling]

CHRIS: Yum! I'm like the cheetah brother. Using speed to get food.

DESCRIPTION: Chris sits on Martin’s backpack and plays a video of a cheetah chasing its prey.

[Martin laughing]

MARTIN: And I'm like the lion brother. Using size and strength to get it.

DESCRIPTION: Martin plays a video of a lion.

CHRIS: Each cat has its different strengths.

MARTIN: That's how they coexist. Different roles in the same habitat.

MARTIN AND CHRIS: Different "niches".

DESCRIPTION: Martin and Chris fist-bump.

CHRIS: Okay, break time over.

DESCRIPTION: Chris pulls his backpack onto his back.

CHRIS: Ah! We'd better get moving if we're going to deliver our precious cargo to Koki.

DESCRIPTION: Martin drags his backpack onto his back.

[Martin grunting]

MARTIN: It's almost like they're getting heavier.

CHRIS: Not for me. Glad I just had that sandwich!

[Martin groaning]

DESCRIPTION: Elsewhere in the savanna, the Tortuga lowers to the ground.

KOKI: Setting Tortuga to rest mode.

[Tortuga powering down]

DESCRIPTION: Inside the Tortuga, the lights go out. In the middle of the room, dull light glows from crystal shards in the power system.

KOKI: Okay, we're on reserve power. Only essential functions, team.

JIMMY: Um... mini fridge?

DESCRIPTION: Jimmy stands in the light of an open mini fridge. He looks over at Koki and Aviva.

KOKI: Sorry Jimmy, just communication systems for now.

JIMMY: No! Hang in there, fridgster. We'll make it through this.

DESCRIPTION: Jimmy closes and hugs the mini fridge. He kneels, unplugs the fridge, and takes off his hat.

[Fridge powering down]

[Koki and Aviva quietly giggling]

KOKI: We have to conserve the last power from this tellurium crystal system until the bros get back with more.

DESCRIPTION: Dull light on the crystal shards in the power centre flickers.

AVIVA: Well, they know how important those crystals are to our energy systems, so I'm sure they're doing their best to get them here safely.

KOKI: If they don't, the entire Tortuga power system will shut down!

AVIVA: No! That'll put a stop to all our work.

KOKI: If this power reading hits zero power, we won't be able to restart the system...at all! Chris and Martin better not waste any time.

DESCRIPTION: The needle on a power meter moves closer to zero. Above Koki and Aviva, a Zachbot spybot hovers. An antenna pops out of the spybot, and a red light flashes.

[Spybot beeping]

DESCRIPTION: Elsewhere in the savanna, an antenna light on Zach Varmitech’s cargo plane flashes red. Inside, an alarm light flashes red.

[Alarm sounding]

DESCRIPTION: At the control panel, Zach watches a view of Koki and Aviva from the spy bot. Zach turns to a pair of his Zachbot robots.

ZACH: Did they say, "won't be able to restart their systems"? And "put a stop to all their work"? Well, that sounds nice! I, Zach Varmitech, genius animal robotics inventor, can finally stop those Wild Rats for good, if I intercept the Kratt Brothers's... "precious...cargo."

DESCRIPTION: Zach elbows one of the Zachbots and hits hard metal.

[Banging]

DESCRIPTION: Ow! But where are those Wild Rats? Mini spybot! Find the location of those brothers! And make it snappy!

DESCRIPTION: The spybot flies out of the Tortuga and snaps its claw grabbers.

[Grabbers snapping]

ZACH SHOUTING: I didn't mean literally!

DESCRIPTION: Elsewhere in the savanna, Martin and Chris hike up a hill.

[Martin and Chris groaning]

MARTIN: Almost...to...the...top.

DESCRIPTION: Martin slips on a loose rock.

[Martin yelping]

DESCRIPTION: Martin stumbles and falls backward down the hill.

[Martin grunting]

[Chris panting]

[Martin wailing]

CHRIS: Huh?

DESCRIPTION: Chris looks up. Martin rolls into him, and they both tumble down the hill.

[Martin and Chris grunting]

MARTIN AND CHRIS: Whoa!!

DESCRIPTION: At the bottom of the hill, Martin lands on top of Chris.

[Martin and Chris grunting]

[Martin and Chris sighing]

DESCRIPTION: Chris raises his eyebrows and knocks Martin off his back.

CHRIS: Martin!

[Martin groaning]

DESCRIPTION: Martin follows Chris’s gaze.

MARTIN: Whoa...

CHRIS: A leopard!

DESCRIPTION: A leopard stands by a tree ahead of Martin and Chris.

MARTIN: I thought that tumble was bad, but now, it's good! Wow.

DESCRIPTION: The leopard crouches low to the ground and creeps toward a herd of impalas in the distance.

[Chris gasping]

CHRIS: And there's its target. An impala! It's in the middle of stalking the impala!

MARTIN: Oh yeah, the classic stealth of the leopard.

DESCRIPTION: Martin and Chris set their backpacks down and crawl on all fours like a leopard to the tree. Martin’s backpack tips over, and glowing tellurium crystals spill out.

[Clanking]

MARTIN WHISPERING: Quiet, controlled power, awesome camouflage.

CHRIS: Yeah, you can hardly see it sneaking through the grass. Amazing!

DESCRIPTION: The leopard sneaks through tall grass. From behind the tree, Chris pulls out his creature pod and films the leopard.

MARTIN WHISPERING: Leopards hunt alone - and really take stealth to the highest level. I'll name him...Stealthazar! He's close now. Under 3 meters...

CHRIS: Striking distance...

DESCRIPTION: An impala in the leopard’s line of sight raises its head.

[Chris gasping]

CHRIS: Whenever the impala lifts its head, the leopard freezes.

[Soft, intense music plays]

DESCRIPTION: The impala looks around, then lowers its head and continues grazing.

CHRIS: Until his head goes down again.

DESCRIPTION: The leopard leaps out from the grass. It lunges and tackles the impale. The impala wiggles free of the leopard’s grasp and runs away.

MARTIN: Whoa!!

CHRIS: Incredible!

MARTIN: Whoo!

CHRIS: It's a miss! Whoo!

[Martin chuckling]

CHRIS: Predators don't have it easy. No meal is guaranteed.

MARTIN: Even when you have incredible powers of stealth and camouflage, like a leopard.

CHRIS: For a leopard, only about one in five attempts end in a meal. That's the way it is in the creature world. Resources are limited, and food is valuable! So he's gotta push on and try again.

MARTIN: That's right. This leopard needs food to power his body, just like we need the tellurium crystals to power the Tortuga. And we can't give up either. Back up that hill!

DESCRIPTION: Martin and Chris return to their backpacks. Chris grabs his backpack. Martin repacks the tellurium crystals and throws his backpack onto his back. He and Chris start their climb back up the hill. Behind them, Zach’s spybot rises from behind a bush. Outside his cargo plane, Zach watches the brothers on a large screen.

ZACH: Those Kratt Brothers are like leopards...weak! But, don't worry brothers, I will relieve you of your heavy burden. I just need a strong helper.

DESCRIPTION: Zach looks over at one of his Zachbots lifting a weight. Sparks flicker. The Zachbot’s arms break off, and it drops the weight. Zach frowns.

[Zachbot clanking]

ZACH: Ah, a helper more like...

[Hyenas growling]

DESCRIPTION: Zach looks over his shoulder toward a clan of hyenas.

ZACH: Those things!

[Hyenas grumbling]

DESCRIPTION: A hyena gnaws on a bone, and the bone snaps.

[Bone snapping]

ZACH: Ah, yes... you'll do perfectly! Let's get the Kratt Brothers' precious cargo, shall we, cat.. eh, dog.. um, thingy?

DESCRIPTION: The hyena tilts its head. Elsewhere in the savanna, Martin and Chris continue their hike.

[Chris groaning]

CHRIS: Oh, I thought that hill would never end.

MARTIN: My legs are mush.

DESCRIPTION: In the Tortuga, Aviva turns off her surveillance of Martin and Chris. Koki walks over with a cable.

AVIVA: Isn't there any way I can go help them?

KOKI: No way you can take a vehicle. I'm tapping into all our power sources to keep the tellurium system from shutting down.

DESCRIPTION: Koki connects the cable to the tellurium power system.

KOKI: Okay, Jimmy, connect it now.

JIMMY: Got it!

DESCRIPTION: In the garage, Jimmy plugs a cable into one of the vehicles and turns on a generator.

JIMMY: Powers from vehicles coming your way.

[Energy humming]

DESCRIPTION: The glowing energy flows through the generator to the cable connected to the power system. Light around the dull crystal shards pulses. Koki passes Aviva a fan.

KOKI: Here, hold this. The crystals last longer when they're cool.

DESCRIPTION: Aviva turns on the fan and aims it at the crystal shards.

[Fan whirring]

KOKI: Besides, the brothers are making good progress, and at the rate they're going, the system should last... hopefully. Keep cooling, Aviva!

DESCRIPTION: Koki checks a map with a red pulsing dot moving toward the Tortuga.

AVIVA: There you go, crystals. Last just a little longer...please?

DESCRIPTION: Aviva moves to the other side of the power system with the fan. On their hike, Martin and Chris continue their slow walk back to the Tortuga. Martin pauses and raises his eyebrows.

[Martin gasping]

DESCRIPTION: With his eyes closed, Chris bumps into Martin and falls.

[Chris grunting]

[Thudding]

[Chris groaning]

CHRIS: Hey, help!

DESCRIPTION: Chris lies stuck on his back and kicks his feet in the air. Martin runs ahead.

MARTIN: Whoa! Stealthazar. You did it! You caught some food.

DESCRIPTION: Stealthazar, the leopard, stands with an impala at his feet and looks around.

MARTIN: You look nervous, what's up? Oh, you're on the look-out for lions and hyenas, aren't you? If the find you with this big impala, they'll steal it from you, right?

DESCRIPTION: Stealthazar drags the impala away.

CHRIS: Steal food? Sounds like someone I know.

[Chris grunting]

DESCRIPTION: Chris kneels on his hands and knees with his backpack blocking his view. Martin runs over.

CHRIS: Let me see!

MARTIN: What are you doing down there?

DESCRIPTION: Martin sets his backpack on the ground and pulls Chris’s backpack off Chris’s back.

[Martin grunting]

MARTIN: I feel like a leopard dragging...

[Martin grunting]

MARTIN: This massive load!

[Martin grunting]

[Chris sighing]

CHRIS: Yeah, leopards have the strength and power to carry loads three times as heavy as they are. CHRIS: Kilogram for kilogram, they're the strongest of all the big cats.

DESCRIPTION: Chris walks backward and drags his backpack.

[Chris grunting]

CHRIS: You sure make it look easy, Stealthazar!

DESCRIPTION: Martin faces forward and drags his backpack.

MARTIN: I wish we had the leopard's strength and power.

DESCRIPTION: Behind Martin and Chris, Zach’s spybot flies out from behind a tree. In his cargo plane, Zach monitors the spybot’s location.

ZACH: Good work, Spybot. I have their location. And they aren't going far, not with those heavy loads. Loads that will be easy for my newest bots to steal.

DESCRIPTION: Two hyenas wear robotic harnesses. One hyena drops its bone and glares at the other hyena.

[Hyenas growling]

DESCRIPTION: A third hyena scratches its ear. A Zachbot flies over and places a robotic helmet on the hyena’s head. Zach takes a remote from the Zachbot.

ZACH: Give me that! Ah yes, my strong... uh, cat...dog...thingy...bots. Ah! Whatever!

DESCRIPTION: Zack presses a button on the remote, and lights on the hyenas’ robot harnesses light up.

[Beeping]

ZACH: Excellent!

DESCRIPTION: The hyenas stand up straight. Like robots, they turn to face Zach.

ZACH: Now, line up.

DESCRIPTION: The hyenas line up side-by-side in front of Zach.

ZACH: Good. You're fired!

DESCRIPTION: Zach glances at his Zachbots and walks away.

ZACH: You see, this is a job for serious robots

DESCRIPTION: Zach presses another button, and the hyenas follow him.

ZACH: And me, because I'm the most serious of all!

DESCRIPTION: Zach steps into a chariot. The hyenas connect their harnesses to the chariot.

ZACH: Okay, cat...dog... thingy bots...charge!

DESCRIPTION: The hyenas run out of the plane, towing Zach in the chariot. Elsewhere in the savanna, a view through binoculars reveals a lion.

CHRIS: Uh-oh, lion!

DESCRIPTION: Chris lowers his binoculars. Behind a boulder, he watches the lion with Martin.

MARTIN: Not good for Stealthazar.

DESCRIPTION: Across a field, Stealthazar stands by a tree with the impala carcass and looks toward the approaching lion.

CHRIS: He worked hard for that meal. But out here, lions will steal prey from the other big cats, whenever they get a chance.

MARTIN: No way to outrun it. He needs a strategy, a way to protect his hard-won food.

DESCRIPTION: The lion breaks into a run and sprints toward the Stealthazar. Stealthazar grabs the impala with his teeth and climbs up the tree.

CHRIS: Huh? What?!

MARTIN AND CHRIS: No way! Unbelievable! The power!!

DESCRIPTION: Stealthazar climbs further up the tree with the impala.

[Nails scratching on the tree]

DESCRIPTION: The lion reaches the tree. It leaps toward Stealthazar and swipes at him. The lion scratches the tree.

[Scratching]

MARTIN AND CHRIS: Yes!

DESCRIPTION: High in the tree, Stealthazar drags the impala onto a branch and flicks his tail.

CHRIS: Amazing! Go where a lion can't go. Lions are not as good at climbing trees as leopards. What a creature power! A heavy-lifting climber! Oh, how I wish I could climb like a leopard!

DESCRIPTION: Martin and Chris watch a video of a leopard climbing a tree with an impala carcass.

CHRIS: That's why this cat is, kilogram for kilogram, the strongest big cat on the planet!

MARTIN: And it's a creature power with a purpose. Lions can't climb well. Hyenas can't climb at all. So the leopard uses his heavy-lifting climbing power to protect his food.

DESCRIPTION: The lion walks away.

[Ringing]

AVIVA WHISPERING: Psst, Martin.

DESCRIPTION: Martin and Chris turn to Martin’s Creature Pod in his Creature Power suit glove and find Aviva on a video call.

AVIVA WHISPERING: Send me a scan of the leopard's head and neck musculature.

MARTIN WHISPERING: Sure thing!

DESCRIPTION: Martin scans the leopard.

[Whirring]

MARTIN WHISPERING: There!

AVIVA WHISPERING: Thanks. We never had this conversation.

MARTIN WHISPERING: Oh, okay. Why are we whispering?

DESCRIPTION: In the Tortuga, Koki closes her toolbox.

KOKI: As long as no one uses any power, we might just make it.

DESCRIPTION: Koki grabs her toolbox and leaves. Aviva climbs out from behind her workstation and looks around.

AVIVA WHISPERING: Psst, Jimmy, the coast is clear.

DESCRIPTION: From inside an animal suit, Jimmy opens his eyes. He takes off the animal helmet.

AVIVA: Thankfully, my mobile invention kit had a little bit of power left.

DESCRIPTION: Aviva starts typing on her mobile invention kit computer. Jimmy joins her.

AVIVA: So leopards have massive, oversized neck and shoulder muscles. That's what helps them carry those loads.

JIMMY: Makes mine seem kinda puny.

[Aviva giggling]

AVIVA: But that's not all. Their tail and low-slung body helps with balance for climbing.

DESCRIPTION: Aviva plays a video of a leopard climbing a tree.

AVIVA: See how their tail whips around for balance? And their super-strong claws give the gripping power to get up the tree with all that weight.

JIMMY: Sharp and strong, I get that.

AVIVA: Okay, I'm ready to test the claw prototype.

DESCRIPTION: Aviva grabs a robotic glove off the wall.

AVIVA: Where's the other one?

JIMMY: I don't know. Run the test anyway.

DESCRIPTION: Jimmy takes a seat at the control panel.

AVIVA: Okay. So, they're retractable. Most of the time, they're protected inside the paw. But when they need them... engage claws!

DESCRIPTION: Aviva presses a button on the glove. Claws pop out of the fingers and Jimmy jumps out of the seat.

JIMMY: Ow!

DESCRIPTION: The claws of a second robotic glove grip Jimmy’s bottom.

JIMMY: Found it!

DESCRIPTION: Aviva pulls the glove off Jimmy and rips his pants, revealing his pizza slice underwear.

[Fabric tearing]

JIMMY: Ow!

AVIVA: And when they don't need them anymore, they go in to keep them nice and sharp!

JIMMY: Oh, they're sharp all right.

AVIVA: Retractable claws. Claws out...claws in.

DESCRIPTION: Aviva releases and retracts the claws on the glove.

AVIVA: Well Jimmy, that's the last feature. I think the leopard disc is almost ready.

[Door opening]

DESCRIPTION: Koki walks in with her tablet.

[Aviva whistling]

[Jimmy humming]

DESCRIPTION: Jimmy and Aviva look around the room. Aviva closes the window with her leopard disc plans on her computer. Koki furrows her brow.

KOKI: Bros, I know you found a cool leopard, but you've got a get back here with those crystals...now!

DESCRIPTION: Koki walks over to Jimmy and Aviva with Martin and Chris on a video call.

MARTIN: But just a little longer...it...

KOKI: Move it, bros! We need that power!

CHRIS: But we...

AVIVA: Guys, get that stuff here for Koki ASAP, and a new Leopard Power Disc will be your reward.

CHRIS: A leopard disc!

MARTIN: Okay. We'll be right there!

DESCRIPTION: Martin and Chris take off running.

KOKI: A leopard disc, huh?

AVIVA: Um, I had a little power left in my mobile Invention kit.

KOKI: I'd be mad, if it wasn't such a good way to get those Kratt brothers moving.

[Koki chuckling]

AVIVA: Works every time.

DESCRIPTION: Koki and Aviva fist-bump. Elsewhere in the savanna, Stealthazar sits beside the impala carcass.

MARTIN: Enjoy your lunch!

CHRIS: Sorry, we gotta go. But we'll try to come back later.

DESCRIPTION: At the bottom of the tree, Chris waves up to Stealthazar. Martin and Chris start to walk away.

ZACH: Where are you off to in such a hurry?

CHRIS: Zach?! What're you doing out here?

ZACH: I thought I'd ask for your backpacks.

CHRIS: Sorry Zach, they're our backpacks.

ZACH: It's okay, then I'll just take them!

DESCRIPTION: Zach stands on the other side of the field. Martin and Chris share a look.

MARTIN: You can't just take them.

ZACH: Oh, yes I can!

DESCRIPTION: Zach presses a button on his remote, and his hyena clan walk up.

[Beeping]

[Hyenas growling]

[Martin gasping]

MARTIN: Hyena robots!

MARTIN AND CHRIS: Uh-oh...

[Hyenas growling]

DESCRIPTION: The hyenas leap across the field and walk over to Martin and Chris. Koki and Aviva watch from the Tortuga.

KOKI: No! Not the crystals!

CHRIS: To the trees, like a leopard!

DESCRIPTION: Martin and Chris run and climb partway up a tree. They lose their grip and fall onto their backpacks.

[Martin and Chris grunting]

MARTIN: Oof!!!

CHRIS: Ow!

DESCRIPTION: Martin and Chris slip out of the arm straps on their backpacks.

MARTIN: It's impossible!

[Ringing]

JIMMY: Use these, bros! Energize...and zap it!

DESCRIPTION: Jimmy teleports the new Creature Power discs to Martin and Chris.

MARTIN AND CHRIS: African Leopard Discs! Insert Leopard Power Disc.

DESCRIPTION: Martin and Chris insert the power Discs into their Creature Power suit vests and run over to Stealthazar’s tree. Martin lifts Chris toward Stealthazar, and with one foot on Martin’s head, Chris reaches for Stealthazar’s tail.

[Intense, upbeat music plays]

CHRIS: Touch leopard!

MARTIN AND CHRIS: Activate Leopard Power!

DESCRIPTION: Martin and Chris press on the discs in their vests, and sparks flicker. A leopard icon appears in the pawprint of the disc, and light spreads across Martin and Chris. Green light spreads across Chris, and blue light spreads across Martin as leopard suits form around them.

MARTIN: Oh yeah.

MARTIN AND CHRIS: Leopard Power!

[Hyenas grunting]

DESCRIPTION: Martin and Chris glance toward the hyenas, standing by their backpacks. Two of the hyenas run after Martin and Chris. A third glances at the backpacks. Martin and Chris run from the hyenas. Martin swerves left. In front of Zach, Chris pauses and leaps into the air. The two hyenas tackle Zach.

[Zach grunting]

ZACH: Not me!

DESCRIPTION: Chris lands on his feet and glances toward Martin, who sneaks through the grass toward the third hyena. The third hyena drags Chris’s backpack away. Chris runs over and grabs Martin’s backpack.

CHRIS: Oh no, you don't.

DESCRIPTION: Martin leaps out from behind the tree and onto Chris’s backpack.

MARTIN: They're ours!

[Hyenas howling]

DESCRIPTION: The other two hyenas run up and trap Martin and Chris.

CHRIS: Uh-oh, to the trees!

DESCRIPTION: Martin and Chris throw their backpacks onto their backs.

CHRIS: Claws engage!

MARTIN: Tail balance. And powerful muscles!

DESCRIPTION: Martin and Chris climb the tree with their leopard claws and tails.

CHRIS: All the way to the top.

MARTIN: And that's what you call...

MARTIN AND CHRIS: Leopard Power!

DESCRIPTION: High in the tree, Martin and Chris rest against their backpacks and fist-bump.

ZACH: No! Climb the tree, cat-dog-thingies! Climb!

DESCRIPTION: At the bottom of the tree, Zach walks up to the hyenas and presses multiple buttons on his remote. Martin glances at Chris.

CHRIS: Hyenas don't climb, Zach.

ZACH: Hyenas? What are hy-ee-nas?

MARTIN: Ah, those creatures that you should be leaving alone. That's why leopards have this awesome power-climbing creature power. Right, Stealthazar?

DESCRIPTION: Martin and Chris glance higher up the tree toward Stealthazar.

ZACH: Fine. We'll just stay here then.

DESCRIPTION: Zach grabs a lawn chair and a drink. He takes a seat by the tree with the hyenas.

ZACH: You can't stay up there forever.

[Zach laughing evilly]

MARTIN: Uh, you can't do that because uh...uh...why can't he?

DESCRIPTION: Martin looks at Chris, who shrugs. They both glance toward Zach and the hyenas.

MARTIN AND CHRIS: Uh-oh...

DESCRIPTION: In the Tortuga, the tellurium crystal shards in the power system flicker.

KOKI: Teleporting those discs took almost the last of our power.

DESCRIPTION: The needle in the power meter slips past zero. Aviva holds the fan beside the system. One of the crystal shards falls to the floor.

KOKI: We're at critical levels. We need those crystals... now!

JIMMY: Tortuga in trouble. The brothers stuck in a tree. Hyenas need a rescue from Zach. Could this be any worse?

AVIVA: Hmm...

DESCRIPTION: Aviva looks deep in thought. In the tree, Martin rests with his eyes closed.

[Ringing]

DESCRIPTION: Martin opens his eyes. He and Chris check their creature pods.

AVIVA WHISPERING: Chris, Martin, everybody, listen up. I think I've got an idea, but it'll take each of our skills to pull it off.

DESCRIPTION: On a video call, Martin and Chris smile. Koki and Jimmy join Aviva at the Tortuga control panel.

CHRIS: Well, if there's one thing the leopard has shown us, it's that everyone has its own special abilities.

MARTIN: Yeah, things you're good at, that help you get by. Each big cat does. And each of us does too.

AVIVA: Yeah! So here's the thing, if we all work together and take our time...

DESCRIPTION: At the bottom of the tree, Zach slurps his drink.

ZACH: I can't believe you can't even climb.

CHRIS WHISPERING: Okay, now!

DESCRIPTION: Martin throws his creature pod past Zach and behind a bush.

CHRIS: Yes! Outta of the park, bro!

AVIVA: Way to use that strong throwing arm, Martin. You're up, Koki.

KOKI: Creating a remote patch to connect to Martin's Creature pod. And...roll it, Jimmy!

DESCRIPTION: Koki turns away from her workstation. Jimmy types on his station and reaches for a knob.

JIMMY: Rolling lion roar.

DESCRIPTION: Jimmy turns the knob and plays a recording from Martin’s creature pod.

[Lion roaring]

ZACH: Huh?

[Lion roaring]

DESCRIPTION: Zach and his hyenas look around.

[Zach yelping]

DESCRIPTION: Zach jumps out of his seat and behind the hyenas. The hyenas turn to face the sound.

ZACH: What was that sound?

MARTIN: Distraction created. You're on, Chris.

DESCRIPTION: Chris climbs down the tree headfirst and leaps into a bush.

CHRIS: Leopard climbing power, impressive. Now, camouflage and the power of stealth.

[Lion growling loudly]

MARTIN: Ooh, sounds like a lion to me.

[Lion growling]

[Hyenas squealing]

DESCRIPTION: The hyenas run away.

ZACH: No, no, no. Don't run away!

DESCRIPTION: Zach presses a button on his remote.

ZACH: Stay, thingy bots!

[Beeping]

DESCRIPTION: The hyenas suddenly stop. They lower their heads and walk back to Zach. Chris rises from behind a bush in tall grass.

ZACH: That's better!

DESCRIPTION: Chris creeps out from the bush like a leopard on his leopard paws.

CHRIS WHISPERING: Closer...closer.

[Lion roaring loudly]

MARTIN: Those lions sound like they're getting pretty close, Zach...

ZACH: My bots will protect me.

MARTIN: C'mon, you can share the tree, it's pretty steep for a lion.

ZACH: My bots are superior to lions and every other varmint out here. Nothing can get to me!

CHRIS WHISPERING: Closer...like a leopard.

DESCRIPTION: Chris rises to his feet.

CHRIS SHOUTING: Leopard pounce!

DESCRIPTION: Chris tackles Zach.

ZACH YELPING: Ah!

CHRIS: I'll take that! Hey, Martin, catch!

DESCRIPTION: Chris tosses Zach’s remote to Martin. He leaps off Zach, and Zach rubs his forehead.

ZACH: So! I outsmarted you this time. I locked my remote with a special passcode, so you can't turn it off!

[Zach laughing evilly]

DESCRIPTION: Martin presses buttons on the remote.

[Beeping]

MARTIN GROANING: Aw!

AVIVA: No problem, Zach!

DESCRIPTION: Aviva flies in her Butterflier. She pumps the handles and powers the machine.

AVIVA: You forgot about my special abilities. Inventions, even low-tech ones that work on human power.

DESCRIPTION: Aviva lands the Butterflier on Martin’s tree.

[Zach groaning]

DESCRIPTION: Aviva hops out of the Butterflier and joins Martin.

AVIVA: And I'm pretty good at decoding tech, too.

MARTIN: Oh yeah, let's let these hyenas be hyenas!

DESCRIPTION: Aviva presses buttons on Zach’s remote.

[Beeping]

AVIVA: Ah-ha! Unlocked! Be free!

DESCRIPTION: Aviva aims the remote at the hyenas and presses a button. The lights on the robotic harnesses power down and fall off the hyenas.

[Beeping]

[Clanking]

DESCRIPTION: The hyenas run away.

ZACH: No! No! No! No!

MARTIN: Living free and in the wild!

[Lion roaring loudly]

MARTIN: Don't worry, Zach. It's not a real lion. It's just my Creature pod.

DESCRIPTION: In the Tortuga, Jimmy watches Martin.

JIMMY: Um, I didn't play that one.

DESCRIPTION: Jimmy glances at Koki. At the tree, Zach looks nervous.

[Lion roaring]

DESCRIPTION: Chris and Zach glance toward a trio of lionesses.

CHRIS: Ahh, this time, it's real lions! C'mon, Zach!

DESCRIPTION: Chris grabs Zach and leaps up the tree.

[Zach yelping]

DESCRIPTION: Chris climbs up the tree with Zach like a leopard with its prey. The lionesses run up to the tree. One of them swats at Chris as he escapes with Zach. As Chris climbs, Zach bangs his face against the tree.

ZACH: Ooh, aah, ouch, watch it!

[Lion growling]

DESCRIPTION: Chris sits on his backpack. Martin stands between branches. Aviva sits in the Butterflier. Zach clings to a branch.

CHRIS: You'll be safe and sound up here.

MARTIN: Let's hightail it outta here!

DESCRIPTION: Martin and Chris grab their backpacks and leap out of the tree. Aviva powers the Butterflier and flies away.

ZACH: Ah, hey, no fair!

DESCRIPTION: Zach glances toward the lionesses.

ZACH: Ah, nice kitty cats.

[Lion growling]

DESCRIPTION: Zach pulls out another remote.

ZACH: Zachbots, you're rehired! Come and get me outta here!

DESCRIPTION: In the tree across from Zach, Stealthazar remains beside the impala and flicks his tail. In the Tortuga, the Kratt Brothers team stand around the power system in the dark. Koki holds a tellurium crustal from Martin’s bag.

KOKI: Well, I hope this works. The switch has gotta be quick.

DESCRIPTION: Koki walks over to the power system and looks at the dull crystal shards.

KOKI: Uh... Uhm!

DESCRIPTION: Koki quickly swaps the crystal shards for the new crystal. The crystal shines brightly, and the meter needle moves to 100. The Tortuga powers up, and the lights come on.

[Whirring]

[Beeping]

EVERYONE: Wahoo! Hooray!

KOKI: The Tortuga is back to full power.

AVIVA: Way to go, Koki! You did it!

CHRIS: Mission accomplished. And that's teamwork.

MARTIN: Everybody's special abilities helped us on this adventure.

CHRIS: Including Leopard power!

DESCRIPTION: Jimmy runs over and hugs the mini fridge.

JIMMY: I knew we'd get through this, fridgester!

DESCRIPTION: In the evening, Stealthazar sleeps on his branch. In their leopard suits, Martin and Chris stand on the Tortuga balcony with Koki and Aviva.

MARTIN: Thanks, Stealthazar, for showing us the way.

KOKI: I had no idea leopards were such strong climbers.

AVIVA: And that they use that ability to protect their food from other predators who want to steal it.

DESCRIPTION: Jimmy walks onto the balcony with a sandwich.

JIMMY: Yup, and I'm just glad no predators are after my lunch.

MARTIN: A sandwich!

DESCRIPTION: Martin takes Jimmy’s sandwich and leaps onto the tree with Stealthazar.

MARTIN: Finally! Mine. All mine!

JIMMY: That's why I made two.

DESCRIPTION: Jimmy pulls out a second sandwich.

[Jimmy chuckling]

DESCRIPTION: Jimmy bites into his sandwich.

[Munching]

[Martin chuckling]

MARTIN: Thanks, Jimmy.

DESCRIPTION: Martin eats his sandwich. Chris joins him and Stealthazar in the tree.

[Chris chuckling]

CHRIS: Lunch in the treetops, like a leopard!

[Chris chuckling]

[Whooshing]

DESCRIPTION: In live-action, Martin and Chris continue their hike through the forest.

MARTIN: So, in order to catch food, leopards have incredible powers of stealth.

CHRIS: And to protect that food from those who'd steal it, leopards have unbelievable climbing power.

MARTIN: Yeah, on the African savanna, large, powerful super predators are everything. They're all competing for food. Food that is difficult to catch.

DESCRIPTION: In the African savanna, zebras and impalas graze in a field. Hyenas and leopards wander through the grass. A leopard sprints toward the impalas.

CHRIS: And when they do catch a meal, so many other creatures will try to take it from them, if they can.

DESCRIPTION: A lion runs up to a piece of an animal carcass.

CHRIS: African wild dogs, lions and hyenas will all happily steal a leopard's meal.

DESCRIPTION: In the forest, Martin brushes aside branches.

MARTIN: So leopards have a brilliant defence.

CHRIS: They take to the trees!

DESCRIPTION: Chris sits in a tree.

CHRIS: Leopards are great climbers!

MARTIN: African wild dogs, hyenas and lions are not good climbers. So the leopard combines its incredible strength.

DESCRIPTION: Chris jumps down from the tree.

CHRIS: With its masterful climbing ability to hoist its food into a tree!

MARTIN: Where the competition can't get it.

DESCRIPTION: Martin and Chris look up a tall tree.

MARTIN: Okay, now I am going to jump on Chris's back, and he is gonna climb that tree.

CHRIS: What? No way!

MARTIN: Come on. You're the climbing brother.

CHRIS: Yeah, but I don't have leopard powers of climbing. Even a leopard cub has me beat there. And I definitely can't climb while hoisting a load heavier than I am. That's a leopard's specialty. No-can-do brother.

DESCRIPTION: Leopards leap between trees and run across branches.

MARTIN: Oh, I know how we can do it.

DESCRIPTION: Elsewhere in the forest, Chris stands under a tree with a pulley system while wearing a harness.

MARTIN: You ready, Chris?

CHRIS: I guess so.

MARTIN SHOUTING: Leopard power!!

DESCRIPTION: Martin pulls the rope on Chris’s harness and lifts Chris off the ground.

CHRIS: Whoa-ho-ho-ho! Okay, you're hoisting me, but it's not leopard power, bro.

MARTIN GRUNTING: Lep-pard pow-wer...

[Martin grunting]

CHRIS: You're not even climbing, and you're using pullies. That makes it easier.

MARTIN: Okay, I admit it, I just can't match the leopard's natural hoisting power.

CHRIS: No doubt about it, the leopard is one amazing wild cat!

MARTIN: With powers that set it apart from all the other super predators.

DESCRIPTION: A leopard climbs up a tree.

CHRIS: Keep on creature adventuring!

MARTIN: We'll see you on the creature trail!

DESCRIPTION: Martin grabs his backpack and walks away, leaving Chris in the tree.

CHRIS: Uh, Martin, a little help here?

CHRIS SHOUTING: Martin! Get me down!
