Panic! Protect The Wild Animals!!

 

In Kenya, a ranger is out and about when he sees a vulture flying around and believes that this is not a good sign. And then something catches his eye and he takes a look with a pair of binoculars to see a large stampede heading towards him, although strangely it's got lots of different animal types in it. He radios back to base to report where the animals are heading and soon they crash through a small village.
 

Shūta, Cab and Minerva have all returned to Japan and Cab has received a package from the Karin Islands where he used to live. Shūta and Minerva think that the package will be something important, given that Cab is a Prince after all, but it's actually coconuts. But since they taste so good none of them really mind the let down, and then their master braces start glowing meaning it's time for a meeting.
 

Hawk explains to them about the stampede in Kenya and that it was caused by the Decepticons. Phoenix has been asking the locals about what happened and they told him that they saw monsters, and from their descriptions, it was the work of the Seacons. Lander and Diver are already on their way and soon they are also off with the Headmaster Jrs going in a plane whilst Metalhawk jets off.
 

At the Decepticon base, Blood contacts Gilmer and Dauros who are in Kenya to start another stampede and that he will join them shortly. The Decepticon Headmaster Jrs say that they want to go because they want to crush their Autobot counterparts, but Blood doubts their fighting ability. In retaliation, Cancer says that Blood's new plan seems a bit small scale but he doesn't take this criticism very well and takes a swipe at them, and then says by making all the wildlife go crazy the balance of nature will be destroyed.
 

The Autobots arrive in Kenya and both Shūta and Cab like the fact that Minerva is wearing a different outfit than usual. The Autobots all meet up and Diver arrives in car with the ranger we saw earlier, who is known as Mr. Ricky. And what's the first thing Mr. Ricky does? Well, he grabs his rifle and takes aim...


...straight at Minerva!


Thankfully he's just showing off his awesome aim as he blows a scorpion off her shoulder.
 

The Autobots decide to split up and Mr. Ricky takes the kids back with him to see the condition of the animals now whilst the Pretenders split up and go to the areas where the stampedes were said to have started. They find jungle areas completely burnt out, and that the homes for the animals have been destroyed, causing them to stampede. They also find Decepticon detonators around confirming their involvement.
 

The others are with Ricky, and are watching a bunch of elephants walk past. He then takes the kids back to his own village and shows them a baby deer which was trampled on in the previous stampede and explains that a herd of deer was heading straight towards a school and to stop them, he killed some of the adult deer. It doesn't look like this baby deer will survive but Minerva says she'll take care of it and takes it back to her car for medical treatment.
 

Meanwhile Lander and Phoenix are attacked by the Seacons, but they deal with these pretty quickly and then Lander contacts Metalhawk to find out if they are under attack also. They are, but Metalhawk and Diver also beat their opponents.
 

As the Autobots regroup, the Decepticon Pretenders also show up and tell them to get lost, but of course Metalhawk refuses and says that they will stop their plans. But Blood reveals the ace up his sleeve and sends out a fleet of Krakens to attack the Autobots who start to fight them, but the Kraken keep them busy enough to let the Decepticon Pretenders carry out their plan without delay.
 

And the three of them casually walk up to a herd of elephants and Blood heads towards them and uses his own power to send a message to them, saying that humans are their enemies and they should go and destroy them. The elephants soon start a stampede and the Decepticons ride on some of them, and the Autobots don't dare shoot in fear of hitting the animals. Metalhawk sends a message back to the village about the stampede and as people start to evacuate, Ricky goes to try and stop the stampede himself.
 

Ricky tells the animals to stop but they keep charging and it's only thanks to Shūta and Cab that Ricky isn't crushed to death as they stop the herd. The other Autobots join in to prevent all of the animals from charging, and the Decepticons decide to retreat with their plan not working and the fact they the Autobots outnumber them.
 

With the Decepticons gone once again, the Autobots reflect on a job well done and then later on that night the baby deer is released back into the wild after being fully healed by Minerva. And as the sun sets the episode ends with the narrator saying that Africa is the mother Earth to many people and for it to forever live in peace.
