Summary:

Chris and his brother Martin were in separable, thick as thrives, two of a kind, two sides of the same coin, both elements of nature, water and Earth. The only time Chris really remembers him and his brother being separated was when he started high school and Martin went off to college. While Martin went to college with Donita, Chris went to high school and college with their neighbour and childhood enemy Zachary 'Zach' Varmitech. Though they were both inventors and their inventions were both inspired by animals. One was about learning about the animals and the other about using said animals as a power source. The pair were as different as they were similar. They were like the sun and moon. They were like Gryffindor & Slytherin. Snakes & lions, natural enemies. But also like honey badgers and honey seekers, they had stuff in common and were complete opposites. So when Martin starts acting weird & clearly obsessing over someone, Chris realizes that it's time to find someone as well, only problem, he is part of a crew that is constantly traveling, how will he ever find someone.

Notes:

This story starts off the same as Martino Kratt's fall from grace, but from Chris' point of view, but will drift off from that and become it's own story, you only really need to read the prologue of the other one for context on why Martin did that.

Summary:
Martin has changed after the incident with the Dracos and basically goes into a little bit of a fashion teen phase.

Chapter 1: The start of something new

Chapter Text

It was just after Chris and the others had stopped Donita's fashion show, Martin should have been fine though, they stopped him from being forced to model for Donita, that was good right? But Chris knew that it wouldn't last.

It had been a week before his brother had finally snapped, and it had to be early in the morning.

It was just after 6 am at the side of the Murray River South Australia, it is Australia's longest river spanning 2508 KMs, running through Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia.

"Morning Martin" Chris yawned walking right past his brother without noticing anything different about the blond.

"Morning bro, not a morning person I see" Martin laughed seeing his brother's tired expression.

"Uh hey Martin, what did you do with your hair?" Jimmy Z asked causing the two girls to turn to him and really wake Chris up. Chris then noticed that his brother had his fringe dyed blue, a draco lizard charm bracelet and black and blue studded leather fingerless gloves on.

"Oh, you know, I found some hair dye in my bag and thought I would dye my hair, again" Martin explains sheepishly.

"What do you mean again, Martin? You've never had your hair dyed" Chris asked having no memory of Martin ever dying his hair.

"So you really didn't know?" Martin asked crossing his arms.

"Know what?" Chris asked confused.

"That I had my hair dyed in college" Marin vaguely explained.

"What, no. What colour?" Chris asked.

"Same colour as Donita's actually" Martin smirked at his brother.

"There's no way" Chris argued.

"Uh, yes way" Martin argued back.

"Any proof of that?" Koki asked distracting the brothers from their argument.

"Yes actually, here" Martin grabbed out the year book and flipped through the pages to his school photo.

"Any proof that it wasn't just a one off thing?" Aviva asked.

Martin flipped through the pages to the photo of him with Donita.

"Anyway, creature adventure, kayaking, let's go kayaking in the Murray River, how often are we at the river" Chris offered excitingly, trying to distract his brother from arguing with Koki and Aviva.

*Time Skip*

Further down the river from Plato’s home by the water stood the truck operated pop-up restaurant of Gaston Gourmand. Famous for using endangered wildlife in 𝘧𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘺 one-of-a-kind delicacies that are loved by the richest and hated by vegans, vegetarians and the wild Kratts.

The restaurant’s highest paying customers, Zach Varmitech and Donita Donata arrived at the restaurant to try the ‘platypus egg omelette supreme’ that chef Gourmand was going to serve them, Plato’s eggs to be exact. Zach Varmitech, always an impatient man called the chef for service to their table.

Notes:

Ironically the flight of the Draco lizard episode was also in Borneo, I didn't realize that 'till after I started writing this.
