MOANA
Moana - Patricia Vichman
Moana is the owner of Moana's Kiwi Kurios. A shop that contains collectibles, artifacts, and treasures. She is also a friend of Chase. Moana enters the Dino Bite Cafe. Chase greets her with a hug and asks how are you? It's been a long time. Moana tells Chase she needs his help. She takes Chase by the wrist and leads him away from his friends. Chase asks, what is it? Moana replies, I've had a vision. Someone is going to steal from me. Something of great value. Chase glances over at his friends and tells them, Moana is a Matapae, a Maori fortune teller from New Zealand. Moana told Chase she needed him to guard her shop. Shelby was skeptical. Really? Chase is going to guard it? Kendall adds, I hope you have fire extinguisher. The rest of Chase's friends laugh. Chase ignores them and asks Moana, what about the police? Moana tells him the police think she is crazy. You have special strengths Chase. Chase pulls out his Energem and they both look at it. Kendall is surprised Moana knows about the Energem as is Riley, Tyler, and Shelby. Moana tells Chase, only you can help me. Chase agrees to guard her shop. Moana grabs his hand and drags him out of the cafe. As he is being pulled along, he tells his friends he can handle this and then trips on the way out. At Moana's Kiwi Kurios shop, Chase is enjoying looking at the masks. Moana quickly grabs the mask and scolds Chase, touch nothing! Chase is simply amused by her reaction. Moana tells Chase, you must stay alert at all times. Chase tells her not to worry. I will protect your shop. Moana is reluctant to leave, but Chase tells her to go. Moana tells him she will be back tomorrow and leaves. Later Chase is in trouble. Koda, Shelby, Riley, and Tyler enter Moana's shop. Moana looks through a book and stops when she comes to the page that has a drawing of a pendant on it. She tells the teens, this is the pendant that was stolen. It was forged from an evil heart in the darkest corner of New Zealand. Destroy it! Or soon Chase will forget he is your friend and turn against you. Tyler tells her, we have a weapon that might be strong enough. But it won't work without Chase. Moana tells them, if he can focus, Chase can push the spell from his mind long enough to use your weapon. Riley is skeptical. I doubt it. Shelby adds, Chase has the attention span of a flea. Moana informs them, long ago, your friend Chase proved to me that he can focus, very deeply. Even in the most dire situations. It happened one day, just as I was closing my shop. Chase was sitting outside her shop as Moana was locking up. The baby carriage began to roll away. Chase immediately got on his skateboard and went after the baby carriage. The baby carriage rolls into the street just as a truck is driving down it. Chase leaps above the street and snatches the blanket wrapped bundle out of the carriage. Chase rolls to a safe spot, and clutches the small bundle as the truck rolls over the carriage. Moana is very grateful as she unwraps the blankets and sees that her cat is okay. Chase is a bit surprise to see a cat instead of a baby. I just risk my life...for the most beautiful little kitty. Moana takes Chase's hand and tells him, come to my shop. There is something I must give you for your bravery. Chase protests as he is lead into the shop. Moana pushes Chase along until they reach a cabinet. As she unlocks the cabinet, she tells Chase, such courage is rare. She takes out a small wood box and opens it as she tells Chase, and deserves something equally precious. Inside is the Black Energem. Chase asks, what is that? Moana tells him to take it. It's yours. Chase reluctantly takes the Black Energem. As he does so, it lights up. The energy flows through Chase. Chase gets an image of a Parasaurolophus Dinosaur.
