In the dark night of the savanna in the middle of Africa, many of the animals are sleeping, others are active at night. It all seemed quiet except for some grasshoppers making noises and large animals snoring in their sleep. A cute elephant male calf was waking up and walks away from her mother to have some fun during the night. It made some giggle-like noises as he goes to a small waterhole. As he was about to drink from the water hole, a net was thrown over him and he began panicking and struggled to get free but no use. A strange silhouette came over to the elephant calf and the figure used a tranquilizer gun to keep it from calling for help. Same was for two lion cubs, four zebra foals, nine baboon babies, two wildebeest calves, a baby hippo and a rhino calf who were taken into a sack after other figures tranquilized their parents.

"That's all in the area, let's go. Our boss is gonna be pissed if we are not there before dawn!" a purple weasel said.

"Got that. But be quiet, some of the parents of these babies might wake up soon!" a red female fox said. She got into the truck with the animal babies and they drove away before the parents woke up.

---

The next morning, the elephant calf's mother woke up and notices her baby is not there, she trumpeted loudly to the other elephants like crazy. The male lion in the lion pack saw his cubs are gone and his mate was shocked.

Even the rhino mother was shocked at seeing her baby gone along with the hippo mother who just woke up. All the parent animals in the area then sees tracks from the truck during the night, they soon realized that their children has been taken from them. They all then howl, roars and bellowed in sadness.

In a jeep, a purple cat was reading a tourist catalog. She even had her pet non-mobian white-headed capuchin monkey on her shoulder that she adopted in Costa Rica 2 years ago. She named her Ember.

"Come on, Ember. I already gave you pieces of fruit 10 minutes ago" the purple feline said to her pet monkey on her shoulder.

"Miss Blaze, we are arriving shortly at the waterhole!" The driver of the jeep said to the feline.

"Ok. Just need my monkey to be in a leash" Blaze said.

Ember climbed up on Blaze's head for that she doesn't want to be leashed again because she hates it.

"Ember I know you hate the leash but predators might get you for food!" Blaze sighs and picks her down, putting the leash on. The monkey groans in annoyance and they got out from the jeep.

"Be careful Blaze, there are lions and leopards out there. I'll follow you" the driver said.

"Dude, I can handle this. I've known felines for a long time. I'm a mobian cat" Blaze said.

"Take this tranquilizer gun, it keeps you safe from predators. You better not trust the big cats, crocodiles, rhinos and even hippos. A hippo can bite you in two" the driver said.

"I don't need a tranquilizer gun. I don't wanna hurt the animals. If they see me with a gun they'll think I'm a hunter. I don't wanna scare them" Blaze said, "Sheesh" she rolled her eyes and walks in the savanna area to find animals.

"But be careful. They can attack you from behind so use your ears and eyes!" the driver called back.

"Alright. I'll show you when I come back!" Blaze shouted.

Blaze then came to an umbrella thorn tree to have a bit shadow over herself and Ember.

"Check the tree so there's no leopard there" Blaze tells Ember.

"Ouuu Uooo" Ember chanted and climbed up the tree. She jumps between the branches and saw no leopard in the tree. She then jumps down and then hangs upside down on her tail. Blaze turned and saw her.

"Raah! Ahhhh ho ho" Ember said and pointed up in the tree.

"No leopard? Good girl" Blaze smiled.

Then they go to the lake in the savanna and they saw the elephant herd drinking from the water and many other animals coming to bath or drink. But when they came closer, they saw that the matriarch is comforting the elephant female that lost her calf, this made Blaze concerned what she was thinking. She then looked around and saw a lioness walking in sadness to the lake, not in the mood to hunt, even walking past Blaze.

"Something is not right here. I got a bad feeling about this" Blaze said, "They seem.....depressed. But why?" she takes out her walkie talkie to talk to the driver of the jeep, "Driver, something is not right here. These animals look depressed. I'm gonna have to investigate this without your help. So don't worry about me"

"Okay. Our rangers have noticed that too. We believe that some of the animals have lost their kids during the night. We found track prints in the high grass early this morning. But we don't know the culprit behind this. Are you a detective?" the driver asked.

"Yes I am. But I never did one on wildlife animals. This could be my first time to investigate. Me and my partner Ember are going to investigate ourselves" Blaze said.

"Okay, call us if you have found anything" the driver said.

"Alright Rob, I will. See ya" Blaze said and turned her walkie talkie off. She continues to see the hippo mother laying in the water depressed and the rhino mother grunt in frustration, the zebras having saddened looks. Blaze then saw the tracks in the grass and looks down to find an empty dart.

"Tranquilizer darts, huh?" Blaze looks at it but then hears something behind her, "Damn it" she said quietly and turns around to see a strange ebony non-mobian lion with red streaks on his black mane and red eyes.

"What the hell?" Blaze gasped and slowly back away from the angry black lion.

"GRRAWWWWWR!!!" the lion roared at Blaze and she ran away with the black lion running after her and Ember. Blaze jumped up on a large rock and climbs up on the tree to get away from the strange lion. But he leaps up on the tree and tried to get up on it but slips and falls on the ground. He tries again and this time climbed up on the branches to get to her.

"Shit!" Blaze jumps down from the tree with her righting reflex to prevent injuries from her fall. Lucky for her that she's a cat.

"Grrrrrr!!!" the black lion jumps down and ran after her.

"Back off, big boy! I'm not your lunch!" Blaze screamed, knowing that this lion is getting closer. Just as the black lion was about to pounce on her, a white lion tackled the black lion down.

"What the? Huh?" Blaze stopped running and saw two strange colored lions fighting and roaring.

"RAAAAAAAAAAAH!" the white lion bites onto the black lion's neck and then got punched by his paw. Blaze then ran away from the lions to not get involved in the fight. Ember ran after Blaze and they left the two lions to fight. Little did Blaze know that after she left, the lions stopped fighting and began speak in their thoughts.

"Shadow you idiot! You scared the purple cat away!" the white lion said.

"Silver, enough! It's my job to protect wildlife and the village tribe from strangers!" Shadow growled in telepathy.

"She did nothing wrong! She is probably trying to figure out where the missing young animals are. She might be able to help our tribe" Silver said to Shadow through telepathy.

But Shadow growls at him and scoffs, "It is our rules to not allow any trespasser to get near our village. If you bring her to our village you are banished!" Shadow growled, turning away from Silver and walks away.

"I hate you, so much" Silver muttered and leaves. He then thought of something that Shadow can't hear, "Maybe I should find that purple cat and help her" he ran on all fours in his lion form.

Blaze then arrives back to the jeep and saw Rob in his seat.

"Well Detective Blaze, what did you find?" Rob asked.

"I found this dart. See if you can find fingerprints or something. Ember and I are still gonna investigate alone in the wildlife. I need a jeep to travel fast in the area" Blaze said.

"I can give that to the police, I need to transport you to the station to let you have a jeep with some stuff you need during this heat" Rob said.

"Thank you so much. Ready for adventures, Ember?" Blaze said and then asked Ember.

"Carrrrr! Ah ah!" Ember chanted happily.

A half hour later, Blaze was given her own jeep, this one had more supplies than the other one, including a tent for her to sleep in.

"I'll be back as soon I find more clues" Blaze said to the park rangers in the station.

"Okay. Tell us on the walkie talkie if you find something or need help" a park ranger said.

"I am always careful so no worries. Bye" Blaze said and then starts the jeep, heading back into the savanna with Ember. Silver was in the high grass and then ran after the jeep in the grass.

"Man, I've never seen colored lions before. Might be a new breed lion or something" Blaze said, driving her jeep while her pet monkey is using Blaze's iPhone to navigate.

"And who could've captured these innocent baby animals? This doesn't make any sense at all" Blaze said, she then saw the same while lion running on the left side, "Huh?"

"Rarrrrar!" Silver ran in front of the road and Blaze stops the car.

"Wait a minute, you are the white lion who prevented the black one from eating me, isn't it?" Blaze got out from the jeep. Ember chanted in panic that Blaze is going to Silver.

"It's okay Ember. Wait there" Blaze said.
