(Y/n) POV

Martin: Red.

Chris: Orange.

Martin: Red.

Chris: Orange.

(Y/n): Seriously, bros? Give it a rest. Let's just say we're off to see the great reddish-orange ape, the Orangutan!

Chris: People have to know about these amazing apes, the only great apes in Asia.

Martin: It's urgent. If something isn't done fast to save them, they could be extinct in the wild in just years!

(Y/n): Then let's not waste any time. Let's go!

The three of us start making our way into the jungle, when I remember something.

(Y/n): Hold it!

Martin: What? *stops* Why?

(Y/n): Gotta refill the first-aid kit, or we might be extinct in minutes.

Chris: Come on, we're on our way though.

(Y/n): Hey, we've been using the first-aid kit a lot lately, it's completely empty.

Like the time we bandaged Thornsly's foot, Platy's bill, that time Chris fell from a tree, or glided into one, that time boots fell on my head in the jungle, the time the brother's got knocked around in the Createrra by a rhino, that time Martin's bug rider suddenly stopped and launched him into a tree, the time Chris sat on a cactus, or the three of us got our legs taken out by a charging warthog, the time Martin got porcupine quills stuck in his rear and Chris got bit by a baby hyena, or the time I fell off a termite mound, or we fell off a waterfall in our canoe and the time I got washed away by the beaver dam bursting, and the, oh well, you get the idea.

Martin: Yeah, I guess you're right.

Chris: And it's a jungle out there. Full of venomous snakes, toxic plants, crashing trees and all sorts of dangers.

(Y/n): I'll go get the first-aid kit.

Someone must've read my mind because....

Aviva: (Y/n)! Take the Tortuga first-aid kit. *hands first-aid kit to me* You'll need it more than we will.

Martin/Chris: See ya!

(Y/n): Thanks, Aviva. *turns around* Huh? Hey! Wait for me you yobbo's!

Aviva: *giggles* Ciao!

Aviva POV

Aviva: *pleasant sigh* *looks at trees* Magnifico.

Koki: Hey, Aviva! *Aviva turns* Check out all this rainforest fruit.

I see Koki on top of the head of the Tortuga with a vine in her hand, she then swings on the vine and grabs some fruit from a nearby tree and swings back as I get up to her position on the Tortuga.

Koki: I think they're wild figs!

Aviva: We should check it first, just to be sure.

Koki: I'm on it.

Koki uses her Creature Pod to scan the fig in her hand.

Koki: Yes, a wild fig of the Ficus genus. It's edible. *takes a bite* hmm, and delicious!

Jimmy: *as he swings by* Fun! *laughs*

Jimmy swings on a vine to the same tree and grabs a fig with his mouth and eats it. I decide to get in on the excitement, I can see why (Y/n) and the brothers love doing their work outside. The three of us continue swinging and having fun.

(Y/n) POV

The brother's and I are continuing through the jungle and we even decided to make a race out of it.

(Y/n): Haha! You'll never catch me, bro's!

Martin: You have an unfair advantage!

Chris: You could've at least given us a head start?!

(Y/n): You guys started without me! How much of a head start do you need!

Chris: I'll tell you one thing, it's no wonder Orangutans travel through the trees. *we all stop* It's hard to get around down here.

Martin: Yeah, the peat forests are springy! *bounces on ground*

*rustling overhead*

(Y/n): Did you guys see that?

Martin: Something orange!

Chris: Orangutan?

(Y/n): Only one way to find out. *starts climbing tree* Come on.

We start climbing to hopefully catch up to whatever's in the trees.

Aviva POV

We're still having fun swinging on the vines, until...

Aviva: Ow.

We all land back on the Tortuga.

Koki: Ahh, my arms really hurt now.

Jimmy: Ugh, my fingers.

Aviva: Aie! Our muscles aren't used to all that swinging.

Now what do we do?

(Y/n) POV

The brother's and I have climbed a tree to try and figure out what we saw hopping through the tree's, and we finally tracked it down hiding in a bushy branch.

(Y/n): *whispers* Ready?

Martin: On three.

Chris: One. Two.-

Suddenly, a face comes out and kerhonk's at us, causing to jump back a little in surprise before falling off the branch. I grab onto a branch and tell the brother's.

(Y/n): Hang onto me!

The brother's hang onto my legs and we look up and see-

Martin/Chris/(Y/n): Schnozzle!

Martin: No matter how many times you do that, it always makes me jump.

Schnozzle is an alpha male Proboscis monkey that fell from a branch and was hurt in the fall, so, Martin had to take over as leader of the troop until Schnozzle got better.

Schnozzle: *honking*

Chris: Yeah, the proboscis monkey's noise-making nose gets me every time.

(Y/n): You ain't kidding, this monkey is the only animal in Borneo that can still make me jump in fright. But he's a monkey, not an ape.

Martin: Right, most monkeys have tails, but apes don't.

Chris: Yeah, great apes like chimpanzees, gorillas and the orangutan.

(Y/n): And us.

*beeping*

Martin: What's that?

(Y/n): It's mine, hold on.

I hang by one arm and reach into my pocket and reach for my Creature Pod, when I answer though, I see Aviva, Koki and Jimmy all looking like they're in pain.

(Y/n): Whoa, what happened to you guys?

Aviva: Why'd you take the first-aid kit?

(Y/n): What? You told me to take it.

Aviva: I was wrong!

(Y/n): *serious* What. Happened?

Koki: We were swinging on vines!

Jimmy: Way, way too much!

Aviva: Our muscles are sore! We need you to bring the first-aid kit back!

(Y/n): Alright, alright. Just hang in there, we'll bring the medicine back to you.

Martin and Chris agree and drop down to the ground before I join them on the ground, I take a quick look around and point down the forest trail.

(Y/n): Okay, Tortuga's that way!

We start running back with me up front.

Martin: We'll get the first-aid kit back to the gang in no time.

Chris: *concerned* Uh, guys? Problem.

Martin and I stop and turn around to see a full grown male orangutan holding Chris like he's a doll.

Martin: A huge orange problem!

(Y/n): Okay, remember guys, orangutans are as strong as 5 men, so stay on his good side.

Chris: Uh, *nervous* hey there, big guy. Those are some impressive cheek flaps you've got there. *chuckles nervously*

The giant ape suddenly lobbed Chris like he was a baseball-

Chris: AHHHHHH!

Martin: Can we panic now?

Then the orangutan grabbed Martin and I and did the same thing to us, in fact he threw us so hard that we caught up to Chris in midair.

(Y/n): Hey Chris.

Martin: Well, I believe it, orangutans are as strong as five men!

Chris: We're flying through the air, proof enough for me!

We all crash and roll across the ground and land in a pile, with me on the bottom, sigh, of course.

(Y/n): *groans* You guys okay?

Chris: Yeah.

Martin: I think so.

(Y/n): *sarcastic* Great, now get off me!

Martin: OH! Sorry.

We all stand up and recover a little from the fling through the forest.

Martin: Well, that was fun.

Chris: Only problem is he threw us in the wrong direction. Away from the Tortuga, and we have to head that way.

As Chris points out the direction of the Tortuga, I notice leaves falling and look up to see rustling branches.

Martin: Huh?

Chris: It's raining leaves.

(Y/n): *points up* Two orange leaf clouds.

Chris/Martin/(Y/n): An orangutan mom and baby!

We climb the tree and watch the pair from a distance so we don't disturb them.

Chris: Oh, we are so lucky!

(Y/n): Or maybe we're for a reason.

Martin: What a find.

The baby orangutan crawls along the thick branch and starts shaking a bushel of fig fruits, when Chris got a little closer, the baby then starts making funny faces and we all laugh. The baby then looks at the figs, sniffs them and goes to grab a green colored one, but then the mom grabs his hand and guides it to a yellow colored fig.

Chris: Oh, she's teaching what fruit is good to eat.

(Y/n): Yeah, green could make him sick, but the yellow is ripe and ready to eat.

Martin: And from the looks of him, it's delicious!

(Y/n): Cool! Orangutans teach their kids the knowledge of the forest.

Martin: Yeah, they have a knowledge of the plants, fruits, and trees that they pass on from generation to generation. But I noticed something else guys. Nobody teaches them to eat with their mouths closed.

We all get a little grossed out as the apes eat the figs and make slurping and chomping noises as they chew.

(Y/n): *to Chris* They sound like you when slurping up breakfast cereal! *laughs*

Chris: More like Martin sucking up soup!

I get a call on my Creature Pod and answer it to see Aviva in even worse pain than earlier.

Aviva: Where are you guys?

(Y/n): Uhm, we were thrown off-course?

Martin: Are you doing yoga?

Koki is seen trying to straighten up her back and we can here it crack.

Koki: Nope, we're stiffening up!

Jimmy: Just hold up the first-aid kit. I'll teleport it back here!

I do so and hold it up so Jimmy can target it, but as Jimmy tries to target the teleporter, it's clear that Jimmy's stiffness isn't helping as the target laser jostles to Chris' head, then back to the first-aid kit, then at my head, I try to bob and weave but the laser keeps pointing at me.

(Y/n): You're gonna teleport my head, Jimmy!

Jimmy: My fingers aren't working right!

Chris: You can't teleport living things!

Martin: Abort! Abort teleport, Jimmy!

Jimmy finally turns off the teleporter.

Chris: We're bringing the med-kit to you!

I turn off the call and the three of us hop down from the tree branch and start booking it back to the Tortuga.

Martin: Is this the way back?

(Y/n): Yeah, we're on course now!

We continue running, but then we notice that we aren't moving anywhere.

(Y/n): Uh?

Martin: Huh? Chris, we're moving but not going anywhere.

Chris: Huh?

(Y/n): *looks up* Oh no.

The brothers look up and we all see the same huge male orangutan from earlier who is now holding the brother's with his feet and me with one of his arms.

Chris: It seems his feet are just as strong as his hands.

(Y/n): *unamused* Interesting observation, Chris.

Martin: I think I'm gonna name him-

I don't get to hear the name because the giant ape throws me first back the way we came. I roll across the ground and then skid the last few feet on my face before coming to a stop.

(Y/n): *groans as I recover* OOF-

I then feel two forces hit me and drop my body back in the ground, I lift my head as I hear the brothers.

Martin: Talk about being thrown off-course!

I look up and groan as I see we are back with the orangutan mom and baby.

(Y/n): And he sent us right back here.

I push the brothers off me and get up

Chris: Yeah, now that's funny luck. A real coincidence.

(Y/n): Or did he do it on purpose?

I am shaken from thought process by the baby orangutan happily swinging on the vines.

Chris: Whoa, even as babies they're strong!

(Y/n): Yeah, at this age, about a year old, they already have the strength of an adult human. and most of that strength is concentrated in their arms. That's also why their big, so they can cover a larger area of forest easier, since they spend most of their time up in trees. Size also helps with competition with other arboreal animals like monkeys and birds.

The baby orangutan lands next to his mom but then grows an expression of discomfort and waves his arm and rubbing it. The mom recognizes what's going on and touches the baby's arm, to which it responded with a pained whine.

Martin: Aw, his arms must be sore from all that swinging.

(Y/n): Yeah, Orangutans spend up to 90% of their lives climbing and swinging.

Chris: And with all that climbing, even Orangutans get sore muscles.

My creature pod sounds again and I begrudgingly answer and see the crew in even worse condition than before.

Aviva: *whining* Guys?

Chris: Check it out, we just discovered orangutans get sore muscles from swinging and climbing just like we do.

Martin: Yeah, a baby orangutan learns that when he's really young.

Koki: *annoyed* Okay! Okay, we get it!

Aviva: We're sore and we're stiffening up! I can't even work on orangutan powers.

Jimmy: Please hurry back with the medicine!

Chris: Don't worry, we're on our way.

I hang up and remember that big male orangutan.

(Y/n): Uhm, I think I'm gonna stay here and watch, just to see what the orangutans do.

Chris: We need to get the first-aid kit back to the crew.

(Y/n): Yeah, well I don't want to get tossed across the jungle again just to wind up back here. That huge orangutan obviously wants us here for a reason, and I'm gonna find out why.

Martin: Huge-O!

(Y/n): What?

Martin: Huge orangutan, huge-o. Huge-O!

(Y/n): Whatever.

Chris: Come on, it was pure coincidence that we ended up here.

(Y/n): Fine then, go see what happens and I'll be here laughing when you get thrown back here.

I watch as the two idiots run back towards the Tortuga, then I turn and watch as the mother orangutan cradles her baby in one arm as she reaches and tears some leaves off a shrub.

(Y/n): Hey, I think that's a Dracaena plant.

I then hear Chris yelling and I don't even look as I hear him splash into a mud puddle, Martin was not far behind and landed in the mud as well.

Martin: Wait, let me guess. We're back with the orangutan mom and baby.

(Y/n): *sarcastic* And our winner is Martin Kratt, come down and accept your prize. *normal tone* I told you Huge-O is not letting us leave until we learn something, and I may have just figured it out. Watch.

Martin and Chris both look and see the mother chewing on some leaves-

Chris/Martin: Ewwww!

Martin: Why is she eating leaves that are so gross?

(Y/n): Chewing, not eating. She's not swallowing those leaves, just mashing them up into a frothy green paste.

We watch as the mother orangutan then pours the paste from her mouth onto her hand then rubs it on the baby's arms.

Martin: It's like a green, bubbly lotion!

Chris: I don't believe it! She chewed up those leaves into a paste, a lotion that took the ouch away. The orangutan made medicine!

(Y/n): Well, the orangutans are primates like us.

Chris: 98% of our DNA is identical.

Martin: So if that medicine works on an orangutan, it must work for people too.

(Y/n): Let's get some of these leaves back to the crew.

We all grab a handful and we start heading back to the Tortuga.

Chris: Oh, but how are we going to get past Huge-O?

Martin: Don't worry, he'll let us by.

Chris: Why? He hasn't before.

(Y/n): Trust me, once he sees these leaves he'll let us pass, I know it.

Chris: Oh no he won't!

Speaking of which, Huge-O once again stood in our path and we stop dead in our tracks, Huge-O then approaches us and looks us over, I then show him the leaves we collected, he then pushes us out of the way and continues walking.

(Y/n): Told ya, you both owe me a dollar. Huge-O was trying to show us the medicine of the forest.

Chris: No way.

(Y/n): Yes way.

Chris: Not possible.

(Y/n): Just happened.

Chris: Nuh-uh.

(Y/n): Yeah-huh.

Chris: Well whatever the reason, we've got this awesome natural medicine now.

Martin: Let's get it back to the gang!

The three of us rush back to the Tortuga and the crew seem to be almost paralyzed by their increasing stiffness.

(Y/n): We're back!

Martin: And we've got some medicine!

We set the leaves on the central table and we're pretty proud of ourselves, until-

Koki: You've got a pile of leaves!

Chris: A 100% natural cure.

Jimmy: What?

Martin: Orangutan-tested and approved.

(Y/n): Prescribed by Dr. Huge-O.

Chris: No he didn't.

(Y/n): Uh-huh.

Chris: Nuh-uh.

(Y/n): Uh-huh.

Aviva: Where's the first-aid kit?

Chris: Oh, it's right.... wait... where is it?

(Y/n): You lost it?!

Chris: Guess I lost the last time Huge-O threw us across the forest.

(Y/n): Ugh, you'll have to settle for the natural cure instead.

Aviva/Koki/Jimmy: It's a pile of leaves!

(Y/n): Ah, but it's a Dracaena plant with curative powers.

Martin: And if you know orangutan medicine...

Martin proceeds to take a small handful and toss it in his mouth to mash it up.

(Y/n): Martin, we're not Neanderthals. Let's just use the leaf press. But it's true, great apes use natural medicine for loads of things.

Aviva: Okay, fine. We'll try it.

(Y/n): Come on, when have I ever let you down.

I grab the leaf press, pour some water in it, then grab a handful of the leaves and use the press to make the lotion. I then rub said lotion onto Aviva's arms first, then move on to the rest of the crew until-

Koki: I'm not sore anymore!

Jimmy: No more ouch in these fingers.

Aviva: It worked! Whew! *goes to computer and brings up picture of orangutan* And now I can get back to work on those orangutan power suits.

(Y/n): Awesome!

Aviva: I love orangutans! They have such long arm bones, which give more leverage to the muscles-

(Y/n): And that gives them their awesome strength. Which they need when orangutans are the heaviest tree-living animal in the world!

Chris: Let's hear it for the orangutan, who swings through the forest vines, eats the forest fruits, and lives in the forest trees.

Martin: Who understands the plants of the forest and knows the right medicine! Give it up for Dr. Huge-O!

(Y/n): I'll drink to that!

Koki: Long live the orangutans!

Aviva: The awesome orange ape.

Jimmy: *looks at picture* And I really like your hair.

We all laugh at this until we hear what sounds like buzz-saws outside.

(Y/n): Huh?

I grab my Creature Power Suit, slip it on and climb to the balcony on top of the Tortuga and see something horrifying.

(Y/n): OH NO!

Zach: Timber!

I dodge out of the way of the falling tree that nearly squashed me.

(Y/n): Okay, now I'm mad!

I slide down the trunk and run towards Zach and his Zachbots who are cutting down trees.

Zach: Oh, it's too yellow! I want wood blacker than my sweater!

(Y/n): I'll give you something blacker than your sweater!

I jump and tackle Zach to the ground.

(Y/n): What in the world are you thinking?! These forest are the animals home and you think you can come in and tear that down?!

Zach: Yes, I can, because Zach can do whatever I want!

(Y/n): *growls* Not on my watch.

As I reel back my right fist, a Zachbot grabs it and tosses me away and I crash into a fallen tree trunk.

(Y/n): *groans* Ow, that hurt.

Aviva: Wild Kratts! Orangutan powers coming at ya!

I catch the flying disc and slip it into my suit and I joined by the brothers.

Aviva: We'll hold them for as long as we can!

The Tortuga flashes the Zachbots with solar flares from the solar panels to blind the robots.

Martin: Let's find Huge-O.

Chris: Hurry!

The brothers turn to run but bump into Huge-O and fall to the ground, I rise to my feet and look into this animals eyes, and I can see his meaning for being here.

(Y/n): You've helped us with your jungle knowledge. *raises open hand* Now we need your orangutan strength.

Huge-O raises his hand and touches mine, I smirk and stamp the activation button on my suit, the brothers follow suit.

Martin/Chris/(Y/n): Activate Orangutan powers!

The suits form the long powerful arms, short, but strong, legs, and the massive body of the orangutan suit around us. When the activation finishes, Huge-O show us how he battles threats by swinging his arm and fist in a hammerfist motion, completely pancaking the Zachbot.

Martin/Chris/(Y/n): Saving the planet with Creature Power!

The three of us split up and take down the remaining 4 Zachbots, I simply grab two and slam them together to destroy them.

(Y/n): No cutting down trees on my watch!

Chris body slams one, while Martin tossed the last skewering it on a tree branch.

Martin: Ha! Three points!

Zach grows frustrated and grabs a saw from, somewhere, and hovers on his platform towards some trees.

Zach: I will build a side table with black wood from this forest!

Zach is suddenly grabbed by Huge-O while he himself, hangs from some vines with a unpleased expression.

Zach: *nervous* You're a strong monkey.

Chris: Oh, I wouldn't call him a monkey. He's an ape.

Zach: What? I didn't know you lived here.

(Y/n): Get a real life, Zach. For all our sakes.

Huge-O then flings Zach far past the Tortuga and splashes into a river and dangles from a flimsy branch while surrounded by crocodiles. Afterwards, we all start the process of cleaning up Zach's mess, the brothers and I move the fallen tree off the Tortuga while Aviva and the others plant some seeds.

Chris: Orangutans where they belong, swinging free and in the wild.

Martin: In their forest home, which still exists, for now.

Koki: We can look after it a while longer while I repair the Tortuga.

Aviva: *plants fig seeds* From medicinal plants of the rainforest to who knows what else? Animals can take you anywhere in science.

(Y/n): And I can guarantee that the orangutan has so much left to teach us.

Jimmy stands next to Huge-O and once again inquires about his hairstyle, which cases us all to laugh. Later that night, I am getting ready for bed when I hear my phone ring.

(Y/n): Strange.

I pick up and see a military number on it, I answer the phone call.

(Y/n): Sergeant (L/n).

General: This General Newbright, Sergeant.

(Y/n): Yes, General, what can I do for you?

(A/N): And Cut! Heheheheheheh. Sorry, that is where we are ending this chapter. Hope you all enjoy and I'll see you in the next one. Have a great day/night. PEACE OUT!!!
