It all started when Master Red Panda called us to his office. He told us there was something wrong in Africa.

"The Gecko Effect, go to Tanzania, stat! Someone is controlling rhinos to destroy the Swahilis' homes, Master Red Panda told us super fast. "Go, stat!"

Once we got there in a plane, if we could get on top of Mount Kilimanjaro, we could see where the criminal was. It took forty hours to get on top. We couldn't see the bad guy. Lava Lizard was so mad he hit the top of the mountain with his pickaxe. Suddenly, there was a crack from the pickaxe! Lava Lizard started chipping rock and snow until there was a whole floor under the mountain! They found the bad guy's lair. It was the Trapp family house!

They were running down the stairs until they got to the bottom. They saw the whole Trapp family except for Sir Trapp. He was probably the bad guy!

When we got to where the rhinos lived in another plane, Sir Trapp was putting robot masks on the rhinos! We could see a remote control in his pocket. When he was finished, he hopped on a rhino and pressed a button.

The rhinos all started at the same time. They were headed towards more rhinos! We had to stop Sir Trapp before he destroyed more wildlife and before he destroyed homes. We finally caught up to the rhinos. We hopped on top of the rhinos and started to take off the robotic helmets. We hopped onto each rhino until we got to the leader rhino which had Sir Trapp on it. We fought until Sir Trapp dramatically fell off his rhino. It was all a trap. The rhino bucked us off his back.

The rhino picked up Sir Trapp and ran away again.

"What do we do now?" asked Mountain Creeper.

"We chase him," Black Jack shouted with triumph.

They chased him again with a plan. Lightning jumped and grabbed the controller, passed the controller to Lava Lizard, and Lava Lizard destroyed it. That made the rhino stop, and charge Sir Trapp all the way home.

Mud Palace

We had a big party and went to Master Red Panda's office. He said to go to Master Pangolin's Mud Palace. The Gecko effect were afraid that they were going to get punished. Instead, they got a zip line, a lasso, and even new backpacks!

"You did a great job, but...

Mud Palace

...Sir Trapp hasn't been stopped," Master Pangolin finished.

"My Sticky Candlestick Trap is finally finished. I'll give you two hours before the rhino stampede. You have to find a bottle of syrup to melt the goop. You don't have any. I scanned the palace," Sir Trapp said with a grin.

I'm awesome.

Master Pangolin knew where all the syrup was. He snuck it on to the Stage, which is underground. Psy-rup, one of the talking syrup bottles, was eager to use some of his syrup to help us. (Psy-rup)

"Charge!" said Master Pangolin when we got free from the sticky candlestick trap. Sir Trapp was holding his sword, Ambush, in the distance. Mountain Creeper drew his sword, Upside-Down, and started making flipping motions. That made Sir Trapp fly upside-down to space. We defeated Sir Trapp.
