Huh?

It looks like someone's been eating trillicakes

and they've left a trail.

Hmm.

Ha-ha, I should have guessed.

-Hi, Twigs!

-Tom!

There you are!

Er, I was going to share these delicious trillicakes with you...

-HE SWALLOWS

-..and the other Tree Fu Rangers,

But, er, I couldn't find you.

Twigs... We're about to join the other Rangers

so there's bound to be an adventure.

We need to do the moves that turn our magic powers on.

Come on, join in!

Time for Tree Fu!

Look! The sapstone in my belt is glowing! Moving turned our magic on.

Thanks for your help.

Come on. Let's go and find the Rangers.

Erm...

Hi, Tom!

Greetings, Rangers.

Oooh, he's going to tell us about a new badge!

I just know it!

How do we earn this amazing new badge, Rickety?

Please tell us, what do we have to do?

I think you need to lay off the trillicakes for a while, Twigs.

Ha-ha. I have an exciting announcement.

Today, you're going to learn some new skills, earn new badges...

Oh-ho-ho-ho, this is it! I knew it! Badges!

..and, most importantly, have fun!

I'm going to teach you how to play a Rangers game called

Beetle and Grubbles.

-Wowzers!

-I'll be the best.

-Cool!

-Ooh!

-Lovely!

One Ranger becomes the Beetle, the rest of you are the Grubbles.

The Beetle gets a head start, leaving a trail behind

for the Grubbles to follow.

If all the Grubbles catch up with the Beetle

then they earn special badges.

-Can't wait!

-Special badge!

-Wow!

-Exciting!

New badges for all!

But! If the Beetle makes it back to base

without the Grubbles catching up with him then he - or she -

will earn a very special Ranger badge.

-Yay!

-Cool!

Hooray!

The trail, left by the Beetle, will be made of special berry signs.

A berry arranged like this is a sign

that you should turn this way.

So, what do you think this sign means?

That you should turn that way?

Correct! And what about this one?

Oh, oh, oh! Go straight ahead.

Yes! Well done, Twigs.

Oh, that was an easy one.

Oh, OK, then, Chezz, what about this one?

Oh, well, that means...

Um, it means...

-Don't go this way?

-Correct!

I was just going to say that!

Can I be the Beetle, Rickety? Can I leave the trail? Can I?

But I want to be the Beetle.

I'll settle this.

If my stick points to you when it stops spinning

then you will be the Beetle.

Oh! Me, me, me, me, me, me.

Awwww...

Yes! I am the Beetle!

I get to leave the trail!

Here you go, Chezz. Some berries for your tracking signs.

I hope the Beetle doesn't lead us into anything sticky.

-Or stinky.

-Or we fall into a slime pool.

Or run into a real beetle.

Like the Big Foot Beetle. Eek!

Oh, don't worry, you two. It's just a game.

It's going to be fun! Right, Chezz?

He's gone, Tom.

And I'm going to go after him! Eh?

Not so fast, young Ranger.

Wait with the other Grubbles and give the Beetle a head start.

That's how the game works.

Huh?

Aww...

Ha-huh. Not that way.

But...

..straight ahead here.

Ooh, this is fun! Follow me, you Grubbles!

Follow the Beetle!

Hurry up, hurry up! Come on, come on!

I've got to go and win that badge.

Relax. It's a game. It's meant to be fun, remember?

No magic, Twigs! You can't speed up time.

That would be cheating.

Aww, but I just really, really, really want to win a badge!

-HONK!

-Aah!

-Whoa.

OK, Grubbles, that's it - time to go!

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Come on, come on!

-Yay!

-Hooray!

Enjoy the game!

This way. Not that way. This way. Straight ahead.

I am brilliant at this!

Come on, you lot, hurry up!

Oooh, look, Hazel - a sign!

What's it say?

Ummm...

"This way", I think.

-Twigs!

-What is it?

We should stick together.

But don't you want to catch the Beetle and win the game?

Yes, of course! We all do - the whole team.

Go, Team Grubble!

All right, all right. Go, Team Grubble.

HE GASPS

Look! There's the next one.

Oh! What does it say?

Um, let me see. It says..

-"This way", it says "this way"! Come on, come on!

-Yay!

Ha-ha-ha!

Ah-ha, this way next. Follow me.

DISTANT VOICES

Oh, the Grubbles! They're right behind me!

If they catch up with me then I won't win a special badge.

Unless...

..I lead the Grubbles this way to the sticky, stinky Fungus Forest.

That'll slow them down.

And I make the sign just a teeny bit harder to spot.

HE WHISTLES

Hurry up! Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up.

Come on, I think it's this way.

Erm... This way.

How do you know? Is there a sign?

Sprite Intuition.

Sprite Intuition?

Yes, Sprite Intuition! It's a thing!

Come on!

Uh-oh, Sticky Fungus.

Whoops!

Whoa!

Phew.

# I am the Beetle the big, brave Beetle

# Leading the Grubbles into trouble. #

SNUFFLING

It wasn't my fault we went the wrong way!

It was a bit.

We've all got to keep an eye out for signs and clues.

It's called tracking, Grubbles, tracking!

-Erm...

-Hmm.

Here! Look!

Good work, Grubble!

It points to the...

Fungus Forest!

I don't want to go that way.

Yeah, it's spooky in there.

Aw, come on! The Beetle's probably just around this corner.

We'll catch him and bam - badges all round.

-All right, Team Grubble?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

Keep your eyes peeled. The last sign said "this way", so...

My feet hurt.

My eyes are tired from all the looking.

And what if we run into the Big Foot Beetle?

Big Foot Beetle?! Where?!

Come on, we're Team Grubble, we're not afraid of the Big Foot Beetle.

Team Grubble stick together!

Well, apart from Twigs.

Where is Twigs?

Heeeeeeelp!

-BOTH:

-Aaaaarrgghh!

-Oooh, help! Help us, Tom!

-Please, we're stuck!

I'm stuck!

Sticky Fungus!

Don't worry, everyone! Try and keep still.

The more you struggle, the more you'll get stuck.

I'm going to try and pull you free!

Oh, dear.

It's not working, Tom.

-Aah!

-Whoa!

I can't do this all by myself.

We've got to use Big World Magic to pull Bertie, Hazel

and Twigs to safety.

So I need your help.

It's time to do the Super Pull Spell.

Are you ready?

Tree Fu, go!

Right, copy me. Into your spell pose.

Feet apart, arms up - like a strongman.

Imagine you're holding a rope.

On one side, grab and pull.

The other side, grab and pull.

Four pulls to the front.

One, two, three, four.

Crouch down, reach up and pull.

Really good.

Same moves again.

Strongman.

Grab and pull.

Grab and pull.

One, two, three, four.

Crouch, reach up and pull.

Now clap,

and say, "Super Pull," to send the magic to me.

Super Pull!

-Waah!

-Aaah!

Oof!

Whoa!

Whoooa!

Oh!

It worked! Thanks for your help.

Whoa.

That was scary.

Come on, team! Let's get back on the trail.

Keep looking for signs.

Twigs, Bertie and Hazel look like they want to go back to base

and I think we should all stick together.

But that means that Chezz will win the game

and collect a new Ranger Badge.

It's meant to be a fun game, and Bertie and Hazel don't look like

they're having fun any more. Right, you two?

THEY WHIMPER

Oh, OK, then. Bye-bye, badges.

Holopax, show us the way back to Rickety's base camp, please.

Ugh...

HE SNORES

Hi, Rickety.

Mmm... What? Who's there?

Were you asleep, Rickety?

Er, no! Just resting my eyes.

-Is Chezz here?

-Has he collected his badge?

No, he's not come back yet.

So he hasn't won the game.

Then he must still be out there.

-In the forest?

-All alone!

-Lost!

-We'd better stop the game.

Do you think you can find Chezz and bring him back?

-Don't worry, Rickety, we'll find him.

-Come on!

SNUFFLING

My last berry. I can't leave any more signs for the Grubbles.

And I'm not even sure where I am now!

Oh, why, oh, why did I come to the Fungus Forest?

Why?! All because I wanted to win a badge.

Huh. I suppose there's nothing else for it but to retrace my steps,

follow my own signs back to base.

Yep, that's it. That's what I'll do.

The Big Foot Beetle!

Ah!

IT SNIFFS

Whoa, whoa, steady on!

HE WHIMPERS

The Big Foot Beetle!

And there's Chezz! We found you!

Does this mean we've won?

Argh! Help! Get it away from me!

It's the berry!

The Big Foot Beetle just wants to eat the berry!

Drop the berry, Chezz!

What?

Drop! That! Berry!

Argh!

Aww, how you doing, friend? I haven't seen you for ages!

-What happened to Chezz?

-Help! In here!

He's inside this fungus!

I've never seen anything like this before. Do you know what it is?

Erm, I'm not sure,

but I think it might be a Cannonball Fungus.

Cannonball Fungus?!

Yep. Cannonball Fungus.

Help!

We've got to get Chezz out of there before...

Aaaaargh!

Too late!

Aaargh!

Chezz is heading towards the Slime Lake.

I've got to catch him - and fast!

So I need your help.

It's time to do the Helping Hand spell.

Are you ready? Tree Fu, go!

Right, copy me. Into your spell pose.

Push your palms forward.

Circle your hands one way. Circle them the other way.

Put one hand behind your head, other hand behind your head.

Reaching across, catch high.

Reaching to the other side, catch high.

Hands on hips.

Catch low in the centre and low in the centre.

Brilliant! Same moves again.

Palms forward. Circle one way.

Circle the other way.

One hand behind, other hand behind.

Across catch high, across catch high.

Hands on hips.

Catch low, catch low.

Now clap and say, "Helping Hand," to send the magic to me.

Helping Hand!

Heeeelp!

Ooh.

Whoa!

It worked! We did it!

We saved Chezz! Thanks for your help.

Thanks, Tom. You saved me from the Slime Lake.

No problem. By the way,

you've got something on you from the Cannonball Fungus.

What? Ooh!

Not any more!

Ha-ha-ha, nice one, big fella!

Hooray!

Chezz! Oh, thank goodness. Are you, OK?

Yes, Rickety. All thanks to Tom.

Hey!

And, er, Twigs, I suppose.

Now all that remains is to hand out the badges.

But nobody really won, did they?

Well, you laid a good trail...

Ha-ha-ha!

..you followed it...

Ha-ha-ha!

..and you two brave Grubbles really did catch the Beetle!

-Brilliant!

-Ha-ha! Yes!

-Thank you, Rickety.

-Woohoo!

It's time for me to head home,

but I'm looking forward to our next Rangers adventure!

Oh, me too! See you later, buddy!

Bye, everyone!

-ALL:

-Bye, Tom.

Thanks for helping me in Treetopolis!

See you soon for another adventure.

Bye for now!
