Welcome back, dinos. Great to write to you again. Don't forget that this is the prequel of Dinosaur King Out of Time and Space, so, make sure you checked that one out first (or else you'll have no idea about OCs, legendary crystals or the whole plot).

Hope you'll enjoy.

A brunette boy around his 13 years was lying on the bed, hardly sleeping and loudly snoring. A sunshine came to his hotel room long ago, but he didn't care.

Then a rock ringtone sounded through the room. Cole Taylor slightly opened his eyes, murmured something into his pillow. He picked up the phone. "Good morning, son," he heard from the other side. "D-dad? What's going on...?" he wondered. "You won't believe what your brother found!" his father said cheerfully. "Huh? Dad...?" "He, Rex, and Zoe found stones that can bring dinosaurs back to life!" "Dad... What are you...? Uh... Nevermind..." Cole sighed. "I know it sounds impossible, but it's true," his father assured him. "Yeah, yeah, yeah..." "Max now has his own Triceratops! But keep in mind it's a secret, don't tell anyone, not even your mom." "Okay...? If that's everything then bye..." "Bye, son!"

Cole put the phone next to him. He was still lying in the bed, processing what he just heard, thinking to himself it is just a dream. He sat up, scratched his head and yawned. He got up, putting on his slippers with cat ears from his mom. He really likes cats.

He headed to the bathroom. He was staring into the mirror for a while. His longer messy hair, bags under his purple eyes, his muscled half-naked body. "Stupid morning," he said.

Somebody knocked on the door. He went to open it and met a girl around his age with long blond and brown hair, pretty brown eyes, and a purple scarf around her head, 13 years old Kyra L. Komatsu. She immediately blushed when she realized her ex-boyfriend wears only his underwear and his cute kitty slippers.

"What do you want, Kyra?" he asked her. "Ethan and Ryan are already waiting for us down in the cafeteria," she explained, "take some clothes on." "Okay, give me some time," Cole murmured.

He turned back to his room and headed for his clothes and to brush his teeth. His ex-girlfriend didn't leave him not even five minutes, she entered the room and dragged him away before he could do something with his hair. "Kyra...! You can't be serious!"

They went to the cafeteria of the hotel. There was a purple-haired boy with a dark scarf on his head quite older than them sitting at the table, having breakfast. "Et!" Kyra called. "Morning, Ethan..." Cole yawned. "Oh gosh, Cole, your hair... That's terrible," Ethan said. "I know... I just woke up, okay? Kyra didn't give me much time..." Cole explained. They sat down.

Another guy walked to them with a cup of coffee in his hand. "Oh, Ryan, my baby boy!" Ethan cheered. Ryan blushed. "Told you not to call me like that," he snapped. "Sorry..." "It's okay." Ryan leaned to Ethan and kissed his boyfriend on the forehead. "Alright, save this for later, lovebirds," Cole growled. "You'd better do something with your hair, man," Ryan adviced him. "I take it positively," Cole laughed, "my friend has even bigger hair problems. No wonder... With that hairstyle she wears."

"Wait a sec, of course!" Cole was still bothered by the info from his dad, but he realized how he can make sure that's true, his brother and friends.

"Hey, I'm not hungry," he said, "I'm goin' up. See ya."

Cole went back to his room. First of all, he finally brushed his hair, then he fell on the bed and took his phone. He called his little brother first, but no one picked it up. "C'mon, Kid, C'mon! Why isn't he picking up? Bro, seriously!" Next, he tried to call his two friends his father mentioned are part of it too. Nothing. Cole didn't want to call his father, he wanted someone else to confirm it. There was the last person left, but it was a risk for Cole. She hates when anyone distracts her during her work. He didn't phone her.

"I still can't believe it. But this isn't a dream. If it was, Kyra and I would get back together. Maybe dad kinda lost it... But I hope not..." he told to himself.

Even though Cole was still trying to call them, it was useless. No one of them had their phone with them. From the excitement, Max forgot his cell phone home. It's similar with Rex and Zoe, but they didn't have time to take theirs, Max didn't give them time not even to have breakfast.

"So, you believe that?" 12 years old Max Taylor asked the blond woman working on her computer. "Yes, I do," she replied not looking away from the screen. "That's quite incredible since all of this is unbelievable," Rex Owen admitted, "I honestly still don't get everything." "But you will figure out what's going on, right, Reese?" Zoe Drake asked her sister.

"Probably. Except for anime, I never heard of something like that. First of all, I need to analyze the stone plates you found," Reese told them, "they can hold bigger power than we think. We'll try to get more information and talk about it tomorrow. By the way, didn't that Triceratops come with you?" The trio pause when she asked. "Y-yeah... Chomp's gone," Zoe realized, "but he was just here." "Max, you are supposed to keep an eye on him," Rex reminded his friend. "What? How is this my fault?" Max wondered. "Max. If Chomp breaks anything here, you're taking a responsibility for it," Reese said. Max took it as a serious threat and immediately went looking for his new partner. "Ch-Chomp?!"

"Do you think it's a great idea to let him keep Chomp?" Rex asked Zoe. "Maybe not, we know him," she laughed, "don't tell me you wouldn't want a dinosaur yourself." "I'd like to, but that would be taking care of two dinosaurs and Max for me..." Rex sighed. Zoe smiled. "But I'll help you with that," she said.

Cole was still nervously waiting for someone to answer the phone. Nothing happened.

He had to know if that's the truth. He anxiously grabbed his hair. He sat up and took the guitar in front of him. He started to play it. After a while, he heard a singing behind the door. When he went to open it, there was the lead singer and pianist of the band, Kyra.

"Cole, that... That song..."

"You remember, huh?"

"Of course I do! You, Ree, and I as the music trio used to play that song all the time!"

Kyra was right, she wrote that song for her friends.

"Don't try to say that in front of Reese," Cole thought, "you know how she hates your trios."

"I hope you packed your stuff already," Kyra said, "we're going to Taipei after lunch." "Yeah, yeah... I know, we must be at the airport two hours before..." Cole murmured, "give me some time. I'm tryin' to call Kid and the others, but they won't pick it up. I wanna know something." "You think Ree knows that too?" Kyra wondered. "I'm sure, Zoe would tell her immediately," Cole replied, "but... You know..." "You're scared of Ree, aren't you?" "N-no! Maybe..." "Don't worry, she'll sure answer my call!" Kyra winked at her ex-boyfriend and phoned her how she called her best friend.

"Hi, Ree~ Hey, Cole wanted to know something... Did anything weird happen lately? Okay. Love ya~"

After those words, Cole stared at Kyra. "So what?" "Ree said that nothing strange happened, nothing at all," Kyra explained.

When the call ended, Reese put the phone on the table, her cheeks turned a little red. Zoe noticed blush of her sister. "Um, Reese? Who was that?" she asked. "N-no one..." "Then why are you so... Sweet?" she keeps asking. Reese even more blushed, questions of her little sister annoyed her. "It was just Kyra," she said.

"They wanna keep it a secret even from her, huh?" Cole thought, "welp, not even mom knows..."

The band was on their way to the airport. When they got there, Ethan had a trouble to get his drums to move. Ryan rushed to help him. That's one of the last things Cole remembered. There were just too many things he could think of that after he got on the plane, he ignored everything.

Unlike him, Kyra thought about tour's new stop, a former part of China, Taiwan.

She was so happy that Ethan and Ryan choose them. Those two known as Taken Down To Heaven were looking for a talented singer and guitarist in their city. Now, she and Cole are on a great world tour for a half of a year.

She finally came back to the main room. Dr. Taylor desperately glared at her, since she walked away without any word after he introduced her top his flawless theory about the stone plates.

Reese brought a green crystal with her. She had to make sure her thoughts about the plates are right.

"Zoe's crystal?" Dr. Taylor wondered. "Yes," Reese answered, "I think there is a connection between the legendary crystals and the stone plates. Not only they have the same colors, they can be also called the same, lightning, wind, grass. That's a very suspicious coincidence. I'm sure the other stone plates fit the crystals as well, sound, the moon. All the owners are probably supposed to be involved in this, and the guardians too. We should meet all again." "I don't think so," he objected, "we shouldn't tell the others yet." "That's maybe right. It's a secret after all," she admitted. She took sister's stone plate. The green crystal changed in a beam and flew into the stone plate. "Just as I thought."

"But one of the guardians should know about that," Reese said, "call Dr. Owen. Three of us have to protect our owners. It's better for him to know that."

She put two fingers to the stone plate, a green beam came out and turned into the green crystal again.

"There is... Something I have to tell you..."
