As Katrina and Hanni both stared at each other, they
both realized without even saying it out loud, that if
it's completely dark at night with no moonlight, purple ninjas
are gonna be able to steal a lot of things. Katrina,
what should we do first, asked Hanny. Pretty sure, it's obvious.

(01:03):
We need to get our jet packs. We need to
fly up really high as close as we can towards
the moon to figure out where it's gone. Has it
really disappeared or is there something else going on. They
both explained to their families that they needed to go
and save the world, and their families understood the importance
of being on the spy team and always needed to

(01:24):
be ready to jump to the next mission. They strapped
on their jetpacks, wave goodbye, and off they blasted. As
they were flying higher and higher and higher, Katrina and

I don't know. I got slapped in the Did you

onto her cheek. No hold on, let me turn around
and take a look. Hanny blasted her jet pack over
towards Katrina to take a closer look and see. Wow, yeah,

There's kind of some scratches there too, said Hanny.

tiny little bat flying right next to them, and it
looked very dizzy, right, a little talking.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
About a little slop on a little little smack mitroller
hard Oh my.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
We're so sorry, little bat, said Hanny. We're in a

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Katrina and Hanny couldn't believe what they were hearing. Wait

you and your friend's unlimited bugs to eat as long
as you flew over by the moon. How many of
you are there?

Speaker 3 (03:39):
Wers?

Speaker 2 (03:42):
I don't know. Are a couple of thousand of us?

Speaker 1 (03:46):
A couple thousand million? Oh that's a big number, shouted Katrina.
They're the ones that are blocking the moonlight, said Hanny.
See if there's really that many bats, I wonder if
they could fly up there and create almost like a
wall of bats flying around and blocking the moonlight. It's

(04:09):
almost like a big cloud. Well, little bat, we have
some bad news to tell you, said Katrina.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Proud laurels. I don't know bild lures.

Speaker 1 (04:21):

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Oh, hi, bat you. My name is Katrina and this
is my friend Hanny, and we're both in the spy team.
And I think we're gonna need your help to tell
all your friends to not block the moonlight anymore.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
Brod a little talking about full of bugs.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Yes, I know you get free bugs, but when they're
blocking the moonlight, they're trying to steal a whole bunch
of stuff in the darkness.

so that they know that they're just a part of
an evil plan of an evil doctor.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
Not scarting arm.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
As Katrina and Hanny now followed behind their new bat friend,
bat you, they flew higher and higher, past all the clouds,
high enough all the way towards outer space, which is
where the moon lives. And it's then that they saw it. Wow,

(05:41):
got all those bats, shouted Hanny. How in the world
are we gonna tell thousands of millions of bats about
all this.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
Oh that's little little tart thrills.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Other just heard on a second.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
And just then, Bat, you started chirping in a way
that I don't know what was going on, but every
single bat could hear him. And as they were flying
together in one ginormous cloud blocking the moonlight, bat used
message got through to all the bats, and they flew
away from the moon and back towards their homes on

(06:25):
planet Earth. Katrina and a Handy hugged, which was kind
of hard to hug when you both have jetpacks and
you're flying woo, it's kind of tricky, but they did
a kind of hug.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
Oh we did it.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
Now, let's let's get back to our campsite and finish
our awesome camping night with our families, said Katrina, come out, come,
Uh sure you can come with Come on. These three
friends all flew back to the campsite with the helpful
glow of this moonlight that was no longer being blocked

(07:00):
by thousands of millions of bats. But meanwhile, somewhere else
on planet Earth, there were some purple ninjas trying to
steal some ice cream.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
Hey, can somebody helped me carry all these times of
ice cream to the truck.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Go big, Steve. Wait, hold on, Steve, why can I
see my fingers? I thought it was supposed to be
dark right now, and all of a sudden I could
see my fingers. Don'thing wrong? What do you mean you can?
Oh near, I could see my fingers too, and oh oh,
there's the bone. We gotta get out of here.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
Something bad happened.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
The Purple Ninjas took off running because they were not
able to steal that ice cream with the moon's glow.
They were hoping for it to be completely dark, but
thanks to Katrina, Hanny and their new friend bat you,
they saved the day. Now our nights are safe again,
protected by the glow of the moon that will save

(08:03):
all of our ice cream from those sneaky Purple Ninjas.
