01x04 - The Secret of Anubia

[bunniefuu]

-[electricity crackling]
-[Kitti Katz] Meow!

[grunting]

Why are slip-on sneakers
so hard to, well, slip on?

-[screams]
-[thud]

[sighs] Great work, Ruby Kitti.

Totally get why you're the Chosen One.

"Destined to save the world."
Makes total sense.

Ah!

-Floor exercises. Good idea, Tabitha.
-[grunting]

Need to get in shape for our game
against the San Perro Tigers.

-They've beat us three games in a row.
-They sound tough.

-They are.
-Gotcha.

But now that we know
their strengths and weaknesses,

we can counter their strategies.

As my coach used to say,
"To be forewarned is to be forearmed."

Why would you want four arms?

-Kidding.
-[phone rings]

-Hello? Um, oh.
-[gibberish]

-Hi? Um…
-[gibberish]

Okay.

Sure. That's…

Okay.

-Thanks?
-[gibberish]

That was Charity.

-She wants to give me a ride to school.
-Don't look so surprised.

I know Charity has a bad rep.

Deservedly so.

But people can change.

[sighs]

[jazzy music playing]

[indistinct chatter over wrist radio]

Look, Director Ailuro, I'm sorry
I haven't answered your calls.

[indistinct]

No. No, I didn't get the Anubia gemstone.

Well… I don't know what happened.

All I remember are feverish dreams
where I was possessed by a demon goddess.

[Ailuro] Hmm.
Possessed by a demon goddess?

Huh. Interesting, Agent O'Keeffe.

But right now, I need you to do one thing.

Get me the gemstone!

Don't worry. I'm at the site
of the gemstone now.

Yes, I'm sure it's still here.

Readings on my psychic radiation meter
are even higher than yesterday.

[O'Keeffe] Oh, no.

The gemstone. It's-- It's on the move.
Gotta go. Call you back.

[Tabs] Meow!

[Tabs screams]

[horn honking]

Whaa!

When you offered me a ride to school,

I thought you meant we would drive!
Not scoot!

[Charity] Just trying to be nice.
As friends.

Thought we could be closer.

[horn honking]

[old lady] Hey, I'm walking here!

I know your mother!

This definitely does the trick!

[panting]

[Tabs screams]

[screams, groans]

[O'Keeffe] Director Ailuro
is not gonna be happy about this.

And then,
the evil Spirit Cats were like… pounce.

And Mr. O'Keeffe was like,
"Whoa, what's going on? Where am I?"

And the Kitti Katz,
trademark pending, were like…

-"Meow!"
-[Kia] Whoa!

"Hi-ya!"

-[Kia] Cool.
-"Hu-ha!"

-[Kia laughs]
-Thank you.

-Thank you very much.
-[laughs]

-Okay, Cisco.
-[horn honking]

-[Tabs screams]
-Whoa!

Am I seeing things?

[Tabs screams]

Looks like the Niceness Fairy
sprinkled all her magic dust on Charity.

There's a niceness fairy?

Come on.
Charity's making a real effort to be nice.

-[Tabs screams]
-I think she's liking it.

[tires screeching]

-Thanks for the ride.
-Of course.

Oh, I almost forgot.
I wanted to show you something.

Charity!

Uh, Charity,
I need to see you in my classroom.

Ugh.

Catch you later.

[chuckles]

-[student sneezes]
-[O'Keeffe gasps]

-Don't mind Finley.
-[coughs]

He likes to get in early,
finish up his homework.

-I know what this is about.
-You-- You do?

I'm failing
your boring history class. Duh.

I-I mean, "sir."

Ah, yes, that is also a problem.

But fortunately,
I can offer you some extra credit.

-You can write an essay.
-Ugh.

Describe a day
in the life of an ancient Egyptian.

Here are drawings of various Egyptians
you can choose from.

Ew, who did their hair?

That I don't know.

Perhaps you could research it.

[Finley sneezes]

[Charity] Wow, that is serious eyeliner.

-Ah!
-[gasps]

There you are, Charity.

Tabitha said you were here.
Uh, sorry to interrupt, Mr. O'Keeffe.

-That's grand, Ms. Birman.
-I need my forward at practice.

Let's go. Hop, hop, hop.

-No worries. Go beat those Tigers.
-[Finley sneezes]

Oh. [sighs]

Right behind you, Coach.
See you on the field.

[wrist radio beeps]

[indistinct chatter over wrist radio]

No, I-I haven't got the gemstone yet.

I'm not sure this is right.

Breaking into a student's locker.
Invasion of privacy.

We are the government, O'Keeffe.

We don't care about
an individual's privacy.

Now, get that gemstone.

Ah.

-[Cisco] There you are.
-[gasps]

Been looking all over for you.
Can you answer some Q's for my vlog?

Q's?

Vlog?

So, what do you think?
Those Kitti Katz, pretty amazing, huh?

Think they have secret identities?

Who knew? Spirit Cats
and superheroes right here in Los Gatos.

[hissing]

Ah!

[screams]

Hey, Finley.
You think you can get away from us?

[grunting]

-Let go of me.
-Oh.

Sure. We'll let go of you.

As soon as we dump you in the trash.
[laughs]

Hey!

[grunting]

[gasps]

[grunting]

-Help!
-Get me out of here!

Hey, Zami.

-I have something for you.
-For me?

Yeah. Um, remember when I borrowed
your lip gloss on the field trip?

I'm giving it back. Plus, I got you
a few more to thank you, or whatever.

[Aunt Lulu] Got it!

You might like them.

They're more pigmented,
not as gloopy as yours.

Um, thanks, Charity. This is surprising.
I mean, wow, I'm surprised.

You're welcome.

Have a good practice.

-Thanks.
-[whistle blowing]

[upbeat music playing]

Coach, shouldn't we be playing
a practice game instead of doing drills?

Why bother? We're never gonna win.
San Perro's so much better than us.

Exactly. We know they're better.

Knowledge is power,
and there's power in practice.

So, we keep practicing,

and we keep practicing teamwork
like those two.

[panting]

-All yours, T.
-[grunts]

[Charity] Yeah!

You ever think
there might be an alternate universe,

you know, where we exist,
but everything is the opposite?

I'm thinking maybe Charity's
alternate universe self snuck out,

and that's her.

-Yeah! Nice one.
-[laughs]

[sinister whoosh]

How dare you! Oh!

[barks]

[blows whistle]

-All right. That's it for today.
-[school bell rings]

I told Valentin I'd hang with him today,
but there's something I want to show you.

Maybe we can meet up
at the Neon Grill around seven?

Uh, you and me?

Um, sure. The Neon Grill?

Seven. See you there.

Great.

So, what's up with you and Charity?

Yeah. What do you think she wants?

Wh-What makes you think
she wants something?

Hello? Charity gave you a ride to school,

bought me lip gloss, let you score,
high-fived you, need I go on?

Well, maybe she just wants to be nice.

Cleo, what are you doing here?
Why weren't you home this morning?

Out all night. Look, no time to chat.
You're wanted at the Kat Kouncil.

Sounds good. I could use a little more
gliding practice off the training tree.

We'll meet you there after school.

Can't wait. There's trouble.
Need you there now.

But we still have class.

You also have a world to save.

Yes. Yes, Director Ailuro.
I-- I do understand.

You want the Anubia gemstone
possession of D.O.G.

so you can keep the world safe and…

Uh, I need to call back.

You three! Stop!
School is still in session!

Get back here!

-[screams]
-[thud]

[groans]

Oh…

Could this day get any worse?

Why didn't you tell us this before?

[yawns]

We were afraid you would react
sort of like you are right now.

[chuckles] Like scaredy-cats.

Scared? Just because
a powerful demon goddess,

who we thought
was permanently imprisoned in a gemstone,

has escaped
and now can take over the world?

You know, the way she says it
does sound pretty scary.

Sorry, didn't sign up for this.

There's still hope. You can fix this.

All you need to do is expedite your search
for the Anubia gemstone,

round up all the Spirit Cats and--

Expedite? This isn't an online order.

We can't just round up evil beings
at the flick of a tail.

[Meeyah] Oh, but you can.

[ethereal music playing]

[all] Meeyah.

The spirit of Anubia
grows more powerful by the day.

Soon, Anubia will choose
a permanent host body.

A host body?

Someone she can possess.

Someone who will do her bidding.

And once she has a host body,
Anubia will grow even more powerful.

Yeah. This is sounding really scary.

You're not helping.

For now, the spirit of Anubia is too weak

to remain away from the gemstone
for any length of time.

You must find the gemstone
before she finds a host.

And should you encounter
her Demon Dogs, do not forget,

I have given you three
the power to defeat them.

Remember. Hold tight.
And keep the dogs at bay.

Swat hard and send them all away.

[gasping]

[action music playing]

Wherever the spirit of Anubia travels,
her evil magic infects all in her path.

Take that! Ow!

And that! Oh! [groans]

Yeah, I was kind of getting
that impression.

I love my bike.

[screams] I hate my bike!

[gasps]

How can you not know
where my scepter lies?

-[Shani whines]
-And how have you not delivered it to me?

O great Anubia, we've searched,
sniffed out every suspect.

[Anubia sighs]

Without my scepter,
I cannot realize my true power.

What about the host body, O great Anubia?

You said you had selected one.

Their time nears.
And yours is running out.

Find my scepter. Or else…

As you wish.

[action music continues]

Trail seems to end here.

[Kia] Or here.

[Zami] The Demon Dogs.
Maybe they have the Anubia gemstone.

Only one way to find out.

[action music continues]

[Anubia screams]

It's the spirit of Anubia!

Yeah. I was kind of thinking that.

[Anubia laughs]

Let me guess.

You're the Cat Guardian's new Chosen Ones.

Yeah, but you can call us the Kitti Katz!

[purring]

[electricity crackling]

Ruby Kitti!

Emerald Kitti!

Sapphire Kitti!

[all] Meow!

All right, Anubia.
But not actually Anubia.

Just the spirit of Anubia.
Show us what you got.

Really? Trash-talking a demon spirit?

Don't worry. We got this.

[Anubia laughs]

[grunts]

[Anubia] Ha!

[Anubia cackles]

You know, fighting a demon spirit…
not as easy as I thought.

[laughs]

So, now what?

Now we show her what we really got.

[Anubia laughs]

[thrilling music playing]

Woo-hoo!

-Coming at you!
-[Anubia] Huh?

[laughs]

Look out!

[Anubia laughs]

Meow!

-[Anubia] Ha!
-[groans]

[cackles]

The Guardian said Anubia was still weak.
Hate to see when she's not.

What is it your aunt always says?

"To be forewarned is…"

"To be forearmed!"

Time to play defense. Wear Anubia down!

This I got.

Good. Because I think we're gonna be busy.

[Demon Dog barks]

[laughing, growling]

-[growls]
-[grunting]

-Meow!
-Meow!

[groans]

[groans]

[sighs]

[grunting]

-[wristband ringing]
-Oh, totally forgot.

[ringing continues]

Sorry, Charity, can't talk right now.
Running late. Gotta go.

You know…

[Demon Dog grunts]

…you guys make it really hard
to have a normal life.

What's the matter, Anubia?
Out of practice?

[grunts]

I sense a member of the Kat Kouncil.

You'll pay for your ancestors' actions.

If you can catch me.

[Anubia grunts]

Uh-oh. You seem to be fading.

[grunts]

This is not over.

I must go. Finish the fight.
Get rid of these felines.

[grunts]

[electricity crackling]

[grunting, growling]

[grunts] Whoa!

[laughs]

I think the Cat Guardian made a mistake
choosing you three to be the Chosen Ones.

[action music playing]

The Cat Guardian.

What was it she said?
About the Demon Dogs?

I don't know. Something about
she gave us the power to defeat them.

And, "Hold tight and keep the dogs at bay.
Swat hard and send them all away."

She gave us the power. She gave us…

She gave us our necklaces!

[grunting]

You are so done.

[Kitti Katz] Hold tight
and keep the dogs at bay.

Swat hard and send them all away.

-Whoa!
-It worked!

Meow!

Uh, what exactly did we do?

I mean, what happened to the Demon Dogs
when we just poofed them?

[grunts]

I hate it when that happens.

I really, really hate it.

[intriguing music playing]

[gentle music playing]

[Tabs sighs]

A little more to the left.

-Aw.
-[meows]

You must be tired after
wearing out Anubia's spirit. I know I am.

I still can't believe
we destroyed those Demon Dogs.

Banished. Not destroyed.

They'll be back,
and they won't be wagging their tails.

-[knocking]
-[door opens]

[Cleo meows]

Hey, Aunt Lulu. Working late again
at the homeless shelter?

Yeah, but even after
a full day of coaching,

still feels good volunteering
to help those in need.

By the way, great practice today.

You and Charity really had
some nice teamwork going on.

Thanks, but honestly, it was all Charity.

Charity! I almost forgot!

[sighs] Hmm.

See what I get for being nice, Dobie?
Stood up.

[phone rings]

-Oh, hi, Tabs.
-[gibberish]

Um, that's okay.
It was pretty last-minute.

[gibberish]

-No, really. I'm glad we're friends too.
-[gibberish]

Oh, that? I'll show you tomorrow
when I scoot you to school.

Yeah. Bye.

[sighs] I take it back, Dobie-wobie.

Tabitha's nice, and I want to be nice too.

It kind of feels good. And tomorrow,
I'm gonna tell her about this.

And then
I'm gonna return it to the museum.

Yeah.
Things are gonna be different, Dobes.

I'm gonna change. I can feel it.

[whining]

Whoa!

[evil grunt]
