WARNING: DONOT read this without having first read JK. It takes place after the events of that story.

"Home sweet home."said a feminine voice flipping on the light switches, illuminating a vast circular space decorated by various plants and full of state-of-the-art technology including a massive computer screen, a round teleporter, and a circular platform just to name a few. The voice came from none other than Aviva Corcovado, the inventor.

"We're back!"came two more voices from behind Aviva before two creature adventurers, Chris and Martin, almost pummeled the inventor in their excitement to return to their base. Not far behind the energetic Kratt Brothers appeared Koki and Jimmy Z, the pilot and technician.

The sun had almost fallen below the horizon before the Wild Kratts team set foot inside, welcomed by the familiar domed structure of the Tortuga H.Q.

"The good news is all the equipment and inventions are safe and accounted for,"announced Koki, returning from the invention garage. "but those good for nothing buckets of bolts sure made a mess of the Tortuga's outer shell–" here the technician stifled a yawn, weary from the day's events, "I'll–I'll just make repairs in the morning."

"Those Dino Powers were awesome!"exclaimed Martin, striking thin air with his fists, recalling the events of the evening. "Zachbots were falling like flies."

"You should've seen the look on Zach's face!"exclaimed Chris in a laughing fit.

"Oh yeah, I didn't think he could get that pale!"recalled Martin with a chuckle.

***Flashback...****

Upon returning to the InGen airlift after their stay in Jurassic Park, the Wild Kratts team were shocked to discover an army of Zachbots attempting to breach the Tortuga's outer shell. Their arch nemesis, Zach Varmitech was on a hovering platform close by, barking orders to his mechanical henchmen, unaware of the Wild Kratts team's arrival.

The two creature adventurers shared knowing glances.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"asked Martin, holding a massive, serrated tooth, wearing a look that Chris knew all too well.

Chris could barely contain the ever growing smirk on his face as he replied,"Oh, I'm totally thinking what you're thinking, bro." In his hand was a long, curved talon.

"Zach is so gonna flip this time."murmured Jimmy Z to Koki and Aviva, who chuckled in response, knowing full well what would happen next.

Touching the activation buttons on their Creature Power Suits, the two creature adventurers charged into the fray, briefly enveloped in a blinding flash.

"Activate Dino Power!"

The next thing Zach knew, his brilliant plan went down in flames as his robotic minions were being attacked and torn apart by two dinosaurs, a green lizard thingy and the unmistakable shape of a blue Tyrannosaurus rex, both being cheered on by the rest of the Wild Rats team.

"¡Destruyelos, Carińo!" cheered Aviva in Spanish, addressing Chris.

"Go Dino Bros!"added Jimmy Z and Koki in unison.

As Chris bit and slashed many foes in his Velociraptor form, Martin Rex crushed and trampled several robots with his stomping feet and swinging tail while pulverizing others in his powerful jaws, reducing them to scrap metal.

"I don't miss these guys," said Chris between strikes, "but I sure miss doing this!" That being said, the green raptor landed a swift kick to one of the few remaining Zachbots, and with one clean slash of his foot claw, spilled the robot's life circuitry on the ground, the disabled contraption collapsing with it.

"Hey, Chris! Check this out," Taking a deep breath, Martin then unleashed a blaring roar, causing three or four machines to simultaneously explode on impact.

"Whoa!"exclaimed a wide eyed Chris. "An infrasonic roar, just like a tiger has to stun prey and warn off rivals. Seems to me that T-rexes were doing just about the same. Alan's gonna be so surprised!"

As Martin thrashed a pair of Zachbots violently in his jaws, he noticed the evil inventor attempting to flee in his hovering platform .

"Oh no! Zach's getting away!"

We can't allow that, thought the green raptor. We need answers.. Thinking quickly, Chris' eyes then glanced downward at the pieces of scrap metal before an idea struck.

"Batter up, Martin!" The blue tyrannosaur obliged, legs firm, tail shifting, already knowing what his raptor brother had in mind.

"Fore!" The moment Chris threw a lifeless Zachbot his way, Martin swung his powerful tail and struck the flying hunk of metal with all his might, sending it hurtling straight for the retreating platform. The mechanical minion met Zach's platform with a crash, disabling the mechanism, causing it to come falling back down to earth. Picking himself off the ground, Zach made his way out from under the wreckage, but he didn't get too far when a flash of green sprung forward, pinning the inventor.

"Not so fast, Zach!"growled Chris, fangs bared, cutting off his escape.

"We have questions, and you're gonna answer them."began Chris venomously, grabbing Zach by the collar of his black sweater. Ever since the incident with the poachers, and countless other times since, the Kratt Brothers had all but given up on trying to make the villains see reason. Nine times out of ten, they simply didn't care and continued with their crimes against Nature. It was apparent that they only understood one language, and that was what they were deploying now. "Now, why did you hire Dennis Nedry to disable Isla Nublar's security?" With that, the green raptor brought Zach's face close enough to look him in the eye.

"What–what are you talking about, Green Guy?"

"Don't play dumb, Zach. We found this next to Mr. Nedry's console."answered Koki, holding up Zach's business card in confirmation. "Now talk."

"We can play this the easy way, or the hard way."said Aviva.

"Oh yeah? Well I'm not talking, Ms. Smartypants, and there's nothing you can do to make me."replied the pale inventor cockily.

At this point, the green raptor simply dragged him towards Martin, who slowly opened his mammoth jaws, lined with fifty serrated teeth.

"That's fine."said Chris calmly. "Then I guess you'll be joining us for dinner." At this point, the blue Tyrannosaurus began to slowly close his jaws dangerously close to Zach's head as the green raptor kept him subdued. The rest of the team was caught completely off guard by this new action and quickly looked away. As Martin's teeth came just a hair's length away, what little courage the inventor had quickly vanished, and it wasn't long before he hollered desperately, eyes shut tight, "Okay! Okay, I'll tell!"

Having heard what he was looking for, Chris nodded, signaling his brother to reopen his jaws. Once Zach's head was removed, Martin deliberately shut them with a SNAP! causing the former to shudder. The team then gathered around, awaiting to hear their enemy's confession.

"Alright. So I found out about Hammond's little prehistoric petting zoo some time ago. I hired Nedry to steal some embryos from their lab. Because he was a top-of-the-line hacker, he would disrupt the security to make things go a lot easier."

"Where is he now?"asked Aviva dryly, arms folded.

"I-I don't know!"responded her old rival nervously. " I really don't know! He was supposed to meet me at the East Dock last night with the embryos. He never came. And I certainly didn't know you Wild Rats would be there to interfere either."

"Really?"asked the Dino Brothers, inching a bit closer. Too close for Zach's comfort.

"Yes, I swear!" Varmitech whimpered. "Cross my heart, hope to live!"

The Wild Kratts team then exchanged glances before they all nodded in agreement. This interrogation was over. They had the information they needed to inform Mr. Hammond.

"Thank you," said Aviva almost sweetly before adding with hardened eyes, "but your services are no longer needed." With that, Chris released his clawed grip from the inventor's collar.

"Now get out of here, Zach."murmured the Kratt in raptor form. "But remember; if you ever come near the Tortuga or mess with InGen again, we'll see to it that it's not a 'calm conversation'." To make their point clear, the two theropods roared at the top of their lungs, shaking the very earth beneath them, sending the cowardly miscreant packing. Zach Varmitech ran away as fast as his scrawny legs could carry, yelling, "I'll get you next time, Wild Rats!"

"That's Wild Kratts!"roared the two Dino Brothers, seeing their rival's dark jet racing off into the sunset. The two then deactivated back into their proper forms, exchanged glances that said, Villains. When will they learn?

****End of Flashback****

"I hate to think of whatever use genetic power would have if it ever ended up in that maniac's hands."remarked Aviva as she inspected the gash Chris sustained in the fight with the raptor pack. "Like Dr. Malcolm said, it's definitely not something to play around with."replied Koki. "We'll inform Hammond about it first thing in the morning."

"So...were you really gonna eat Zach?"asked Jimmy Z from his place on a beanbag chair, addressing Martin who was setting both his and Chris' CPS safe in storage. The Kratt in blue cringed at the very thought.

"Gross! I may have been hungry, but I'd rather feast with the T-Devils than eat Varmitech for dinner," here his stomach rumbled. I'm still hungry..he thought. "And speaking of eating, hey Jimmy! Can you go ahead and order those pizzas? I'm starving!"complained Martin, rubbing his empty stomach.

"Don't worry, MK."replied the Tortuga pilot nonchalantly, Creaturepod in hand. "The pizzas are on their way."

The Kratt in blue set his backpack down on the Tortuga's medical table when he was startled out of his wits upon hearing his brother's cries of pain.

"OWW! That really hurt, Aviva."

"Don't move so much and it won't."replied the inventor, rubbing an alcohol-drenched rag gently on the creature adventurer's wounded side to prevent any infections. Luckily it wasn't as severe as she had originally feared. The Velociraptor's deadly toe claw would've gone deeper had it not been for the Creature Power Suit safeguarding him.

Aviva then glanced in Martin's direction before mouthing, 'You're next,' causing the older Kratt to shudder. He hadn't escaped Jurassic Park unscathed either. Being beaten by a pack of raptors and getting seriously mauled by an angry T-rex was not exactly something to brush off lightly.

Suddenly the doorbell was heard.

"Pizza!"exclaimed the Kratt in blue, who then raced for the front door. Saved by the bell.

"Don't forget about the tip!"yelled Chris with a chuckle, recalling previous times in which his older brother forgot to leave the tip. The Kratt in green then squealed in pain upon feeling another dab of alcohol on his cut. Aviva giggled before saying, "You big baby."earning her a mock glare from her boyfriend. It wasn't long before Martin returned with a stack of pizzas in hand.

"Bon appetit, you guys!"

**** Half An Hour Later...****

"..I thought we were dead for sure, until Martinosaurus came crashing out of the trees, scaring the female Metriacanthosaurs, and grabbing their leader, shaking him like a rag doll!" Everyone was gathered around the table, eyes wide as saucers as Chris recounted the Metriacanthosaurus encounter on Isla Nublar the night before.

"You didn't..well you know–?" Before Koki could continue with her question, Martin quickly answered, saying, "Nope. Only scared him half out of his wits."

"A Metriacanthosaur against Martin in a flipping T-rex Power Suit? Not really a fair match-up."remarked JZ.

"Neither was an army of Zachbots.."muttered the Kratt in blue, causing his brother to spit out his fruit punch in a fit of laughter. Martin soon followed before being joined by everyone else. Needless to say the laughing ceased when the Tortuga pilot nearly choked on his third pizza slice, prompting Koki to strike him sharply on the back, dislodging the unwanted bits from Jimmy's throat.

"Thanks, Koki."said JZ after catching his breath.

"You know, I've been thinking; Sure, the Dinosaur Power Suits are among the most extraordinary I've ever designed by far, but maybe they should only be used as a last resort. Just for the big emergencies. It wouldn't be such a good idea to use them to solve every single problem we come across. It's overkill. That, and it would probably draw unwanted attention." She then added, taking note of the Kratt Bros' dismay, "Besides, there's still so many other creature powers in the natural world waiting to be discovered." Koki and Jimmy nodded in agreement.

"Okay.." replied the Kratts in unison, albeit reluctantly in Martin's case.

"We solemnly swear on all we hold sacred that we will only use Dino Powers if there's no other option. Or at least in secret. Wild Kratt's honor."said Chris, raising his left hand while placing his right on his chest as though reciting a pledge.

"Though I doubt Zach's gonna attempt raiding the H.Q anytime soon."mumbled the technician.

Jimmy Z was just about to eat his fourth slice when a flash of orange suddenly snatched it right out of his grasp, earning a shriek from the startled redhead. The flash went by so fast that the only giveaway of its retreat was a rustling sound within Martin's backpack, likely making off with its prize.

"Umm... Am I the only one who saw that?"asked the pizza-eating pilot, wide-eyed as the pizza slice disappeared within the pack's dark depths. He was answered not by words, but by the stunned expressions written on the rest his teammates' faces.

As the entire team made their way to the bag, Chris then motioned everyone to be quiet as not to scare off their surprise guest.

"It's.."whispered the Kratt Brothers simultaneously.

"It's..."repeated the inventor and computer whizz.

They peered inside, where their eyes were greeted by two, large amber ones staring right back at them. Rows of sharp little teeth nibbled on whatever was left of the pizza slice held securely in its tiny, clawed grasp. The identity of the creature in Martin's bag left the Wild Kratts team flabbergasted. Of all the surprise encounters over the years, this one undoubtedly took the cake. Or pizza slice..

"A baby Velociraptor?"
