Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hello friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to kid
Short Stories. Right now, I need to make sure that
you've clicked the link in the description below so that
your parents can follow our Instagram page for either Hey
Mister Jim or kid Short Stories. This is where I
love to go live with you and hang out on
video and come up with some amazing story ideas and

(00:24):
we even play some games along the way. Well, friends,
are you ready for part two of Phoenix's adventure? How
is he gonna get out of that stinky school? Well,
let's find out. Let's go on the last episode. Do
you remember how Phoenix and all of his classmates have

(00:48):
gotten locked inside of Doctor Sinky Breath's new stinky school. Well,
after all the teachers were tricked to go outside in
the front to get their free lunch, the entire school
had been locked down and the playground out back had
also been turned into a real life floor his lava game. Somehow,

(01:10):
the Purple Ninjas had a lava spray and all the
wood chips were now a bubbling bath of orange lava,
and Doctor Sinkybreath was trying to train all of the
students to join his Purple Ninja team. Let's see what
happens next.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
All right, everybody, cop down, cap down.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Shouted one of the Purple Ninjas.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
We need everyone to report to the main conference center
and so we could talk about the new rules here.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
The students did not understand what was going on, but
Phoenix definitely did. You see, the Purple Ninjas and doctor
Sinky Breath are trying to take over the world, and
this is absolutely terrible. As they all walked into the
conference room together, there were several Purple Ninjas there. Oh
it smells terrible in here, said one of Phoenix's friends. Oh,

(02:05):
I understand why those ninjas over there plug their noses.
H this is gross. The whole time, Phoenix kept his
eyes moving around, trying to figure out not only a
way out, but a way to stop the Purple Ninjas. Unfortunately,
all of his spy gear was back in his classroom

(02:28):
in his desk. He had to find a way to
get back there and notify HQ so that they could
send out a rescue team.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
All right, everybody, quite down, quiet down, said one of
the Purple Ninjas. This is now a steaky school. You
see the illustrious career path towards becoming a purple Ninja
can now be yours.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
The purple Ninjas went on to describe how now all
the students had been a part of some kind of
training program to be I'm a purple Ninja, which means
you're on doctor Stinkybreath scene, which is terrible. Phoenix raised
his hand and asked if he could go to the bathroom. Yes, yes,
just come back quickly. We have a lot to go over,

(03:13):
said the Purple Ninja. As Phoenix left the room towards
the bathroom, he ducked down and snuck back to his classroom.
He had to find a way to not only save
all of his friends, but the entire school and the
world from doctor Sinky Breath. As he snuck his way
through the hallways and back to his classroom, there it was.

(03:34):
His backpack was still sitting on his chair, and inside
was a walkie talkie. Sh HQ, HQ, this is Phoenix.
We have a serious problem at my school. Are you there?
Sh yes, of course we're here. What's going on? Phoenix?
Sh okay? Doctor Sinky Breath has somehow taken over my

(03:56):
school and now there's purple ninjas everywhere trying to teach
us how to be staying it's I don't know, It's
not good whatever it is. And they've even transformed the playground.
All the wood chips are real lava. There's no way
out of here. What do we do? Don't worry, Phoenix.
We are going to send you a very special crystal.

(04:18):
We'll drop it on the lava, which will neutralize that lava,
creating a safe path for you to escape. Okay, I
gotta go. I hear somebody coming over. Sh He shoved
his walkie talkie into his pocket just in time.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Hey what are you doing here? I thought you're going
to the bathroom. Come on, we gotta get back there.
We're talking about some really important stuff like how to
make the stinkiest spray in the world. Come on.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Phoenix knew that he had to play along so that
the Purple Ninjas wouldn't get suspicious, But little did they
know that the spy team was all over this one
and going to save the day. As Phoenix was walking
with the Purple Ninja back to that big auditorium, he
glanced out the window and saw that all the teachers
had become completely frozen in the parking lot. It's like

(05:09):
they had played a game of freeze tag for real
or something. I don't know. It was very strange. All
the teachers looked like they were in mid bite of
that food and then they completely froze. Oh man, I
gotta figure out a way how to save them, too,
Phoenix whispered to himself. Over the next hour, all the
students were learning how to make a stinky stink spray.

(05:33):
It was absolutely terribly smelling. It smelled like the worst
dude in the world. Well, I think that's just the
beginning of the steps towards becoming a purple Ninja, which
we do not want to become. Those guys are not
the good guys. They are on doctor Stinkybreath's team. After

(05:54):
what felt like an eternity in that stinky room, Phoenix
finally got an alert in his that meant that that
crystal had dropped into the lava field out bag. That oh,
that's the first step to being saved, because remember HQ
was dropping a crystal that was going to neutralize all

(06:15):
the lava around the playground, which was going to be
the wave that they were going to escape that stinky school.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
All right, everybody, we're going to take a five minute break,
go eat some stinky snacks. Back there, there's a mud
pudding and a bugger pie. The Purple Ninjas had set
out some absolutely disgusting snacks, if you could even call
those snacks, and there's no way that anyone was going

(06:44):
to touch those things. But Phoenix was going to use
this as the opportunity to save the school. As he
walked towards the door that went to the playground, he
opened the door, expecting to see the lava completely gone.
But as he opened the door, the lava was still there.
What in the world, Oh no, wait a second.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
Look over in the sandbox in the middle of the playground,
he could see a bright orange, glowing crystal that was
sitting in the sand. That means the drone that HQ
sent when it dropped the crystal, it accidentally dropped it
in the sand and not in the lava, which means
the lava still there. Phoenix had to think fast. He

(07:26):
was running out of time. Has he surveyed the playground,
he realized that wait a second, he'd played this game before.
He had played Flora's Lava a hundred times. This time
was a little more serious because there was real lava.
Do you think Phoenix can do it? Do you think
you could do it? Well? Phoenix chose to be brave.

(07:47):
As he plodded out the path on the ground. He
counted out the steps and knew exactly where he needed
to jump because the lava hadn't destroyed all the playground
equipment yet. It was just like in the woodchips. So
as he started running his path carefully, jumping bounce to bounce, whoah,

(08:08):
he almost slipped right into the lava. That would be
the end of Phoenix. But don't worry. He held on
and kept jumping jump, jump jump. He had to make
it to that sandbox to get that crystal and drop
it into the lava that would surely neutralize and end
all of that lava for good. He had a few

(08:31):
more jumps before a purple Ninja spotted him. Hey what
are you doing out there? That's real lava. You gotta
get back inside, shouted the purple Ninja. Phoenix finally made
it to the sandbox and grabbed the crystal and shouted,
doctor Steiky breath. I know that you are in that blimp,

(08:53):
and you have to know that the spy team we
never give up, and there's no way that you're gonna
trick us into coming on your team. He could see
Doctor Stinky Brett's head pop out from the window of
the blimp. Ha, watch this, doctor. He dropped the crystal
into the lava field, which instantly turned it into rock.

(09:16):
All the students started running out to the playground. Go go, go,
shouted Phoenix. Now that the lava was gone, everyone could
escape that stinky, stinky school.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
Oh no, wait, come back here. Don't you want to
become a purple legion else like us?

Speaker 1 (09:34):
They don't think they do. I think it's just us. Uh,
what are we gonna do?

Speaker 2 (09:39):
Well, we gotta get out of here because I'm pretty
sure the Spine team must be close. Let's get back
up to the blimp bus is not gonna be happy again.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
Over the rest of the afternoon, HQ is able to
send Phoenix some more crystals to help the teachers unfreeze themselves. Wow,
great job, Phoenix. You not only say your school, but
you saved the entire world from that evil doctor Stinky
Breath and his purple Ninjas the end. Great job. You

(10:16):
listened all the way to the end, and you know
what time it is. It's time for kid shout out.
So I want to say hey to Jonathan and Joel
from Dallas, Ava from California, Lincoln, Lydia, Lily and Lydia
from Henderson, Nevada, August from Los Angeles, Aiden from Toronto,

(10:37):
and Adam from California. I'm so glad that you're all
in the Kid short Story's family and on our spy team.
We could not stop Doctor Stinkybreath and his crew without you,
my friends. Will you have a superduper day and I
will see you on our next adventure. Bye.
