Chapter 1- Fossil Mountain

POV: Rex

Location: Mountain Area

Time: 14:00

I look out into the valley below me. It's beautiful to say the least. I'm the typical introvert who likes to stay home, and be non-active. Though nature has away to show me a beauty I can't see at home… Despite how well I draw.

"Rex! Are you going to stare at the scenery all day?" I turn to look at the one who called for me. It's my twin sister Sarah. She has her blonde hair up in a pony tail, as per usual. She wears a light blue shirt matched with a darker blue short. Keeping the opposite color style to myself. She seems to be getting impatient with me, so I better hurry.

"Coming!" I run over to her. We proceed to find where Todd went. Todd, he's been my best friend for as long as I can remember. Not to mention, Sarah's as well.

"Sorry for the wait Todd." Sarah apologizes.

"Rex were you going to look at the scenery all day? Quit stalling, were burning daylight. You know why we're here right?" Todd scolded me. Though, it's not like I asked to come with. Not that I'll say it.

Sarah answers Todd's question before me. "Yeah! Rumors are that Vivosaurs live up in the mountain."

I know what Vivosaurs are… but just Sarah's sake. "Just to double check Vivosaurs are Dinosaurs that were revived with special powers."

"Correct as always Rex." Todd smiles. Though, I'm not that smart. "Man, I never thought that we could get the chance to see one."

Sarah yells in her loud voice. "Same I'm so excited! Let's go get some Vivosaurs!"

"*Sigh* we could have waited to become, actual fighters." I mumble, though not like they heard me. I mean Hunter became a Fossil fighter wen he was just fifteen. We are all thirteen by the way. It's not like we'll never get a chance to revive a fossil ourselves. The plan these two, made can get us killed.

Todd shouts out a bad idea. "Come on, race you to the top!"

"Alright, see you guys there!" Sarah without hesitation bolts past me and Todd.

WHY?! They know I almost failed gym! I start running to try keep pace with Todd. "Slow Down! I'm not athletic!"

Though my shout fails… why is it always like this. At least an hour or so passes and I find myself lost amongst the trees. It's not like I have no survival skills… its just I can't see the sun because of the trees... and I have no sense of direction… If I get home, I'm telling mom. Yeah it was also their bright idea to not tell our parents, where we were going. SNAP!

"What was that?!" I look behind me… it was just tree branch falling. I'm scared… "If I meet a wild Vivosaur I hope it's an Herbivore, those are the least violent right?" crap, I'm returning to talking to myself, to calm down. Rustle, rustle.

I turn to see a bush rustling. "Sarah? Is that you?"

Rustle, Rustle.

No response. Please let this be a prank from Sarah. "T-this isn't funny. Just come on out and let's go home."

The rustling stops, and a blue figure appears… It is… a lot taller than me. "ROAR!"

"heh. T-that's a-a…" Why am I talking?! RUN!

POV: Sarah

Location: Mountain Area

Time: 15:00

Ugh… who ever told Todd that there were Vivosaurs here was lying.

"Hey! I don't see any Vivosaurs around here! Somebody must have been lying!" Todd's shout confirms my guess. "Come on we should just go home."

Then its time for the two of us to head home… wait two? "Todd as you say that… Where's Rex?"

"He was right behind us. Wasn't he?" Todd also noticed Rex's absence now.

Thinking back that Race was a bad idea. "Todd why'd you suggest a race. We both know Rex almost failed gym!"

"Why didn't you remember when I suggested it?" Todd tries to shift blame to me, "You're his sister, aren't you?"

"You know how Competitive I get!" when I get competitive the world goes white. "Come on, we have to look for him."

"Great first we can't find any Vivosaurs." Todd Shouts. "Now Rex is lost."

Thump. Thump, thump.

Did the ground just shake? No, those are footsteps. I look over to Todd, he looks confused by this.

"AHHH!" I hear someone screaming… wait that's Rex's voice!

It wasn't too long till we found Rex running in our direction. Looks like he found a Vivosaur. Todd then yells "Th-that's an… ALLOSAURUS!"

"How did it get to this?!" I exclaim. Out of all Vivosaurs to encounter, it's a f***ing carnivore.

"It's going to eat us!" Great Rex is in panic mode.

"Stop!" we got chased to a cliffs edge by the damn Vivosaur. I may be a bad sister but… I get in front of Rex.

"What are you doing?" Rex showing concern for me.

"As if I'm letting my brother get eaten!" I shout at him. Crap… the Allosaurus is inching closer to us… the only thing I can do is just glare at it.

"Screech!" I hear something behind us… Don't look, if I look away this one's going to charge.

"Ah!" who just fell?

I turn to see that Rex is missing, "REX!"

"Screech!" That noise is made again. It's apparently a Pteranodon. Thankfully Rex is in its claws.

"Grab On! Both of ya!" There's someone Riding it!

"Roar!" That Allosaurs is going charge us.

"huh?" Before anything else I grab Todd's hand. I run towards the edge.

"Yee-haw! Hold on Pards!" the man yells after he helps us up. As we fly away the man asks "Are you folks alright?"

I look over to Todd, he nods. I'm okay myself… "Rex are you alright?"

"Can we just get to solid ground?" he's probably traumatized, but okay.

"I believe were good." I tell the man.

Before the guy could respond the Pteranodon starts to shake. "Whoa their girl! Weight seems to be too much for her. Prepare for emergency landing!"

"Why me?!" Rex is definitely going to be traumatized.

I yell to Todd, "Hang on!"

We stabilize a few times, then switch to being bumpy, soon we are over head some trees. The man then yells. "It's gonna be a bumpy Landing."

As if on que the Pteranodon disappears, and changes into a Coin! Crash!

"You folks still alright!" The man who saved us asks us again.

I get up, both spitting and brushing off dirt. Surprisingly I have no injury. "A bit dirty, but miraculously unharmed. Rex? Todd?"
"I'm fine." I look at Todd he seems to be in a similar state as me.

But what about Rex… Did he not land with us? "Rex?"

Crack!

I turn around to see a tree branch fall. Rex falling with it. Once on the ground Rex tries to get up. "I think I'm-. Nope! Nope! Ow! Ow!"

"Here let me see." The man goes over to check on Rex. Rex, flinches whenever his ankle is touched. "Well it's not broken. But you seemed to have twisted it."

Rex is struggling to not be angry at the stranger. "Doesn't make any less painful."

Todd then starts to yell "OH MY GOSH! Y-you're Joe!"

I look closer at the man. Yep that's Joe. "Yep, that's me. Surprised you know my Handle, kid"

"Of course, we know you!" I can't contain my excitement. "You're Joe Wildwest! The greatest Fossil Fighter on the Earth! Your Fossil Battle skills are Legendary." Well, maybe except for Hunter. Though I'll never say it to Joe.

"I can't believe I'm actually talking to you!" Todd Exclaims "This is amazing! Rex how are you not excited!"

"I'm feeling more pain than excitement. Thank you." Ah! Rex just got a Free bandage from Joe Wildwest. I'm so jealous!

"That should set the injury for now at least! Though I think you should have a Doctor check it out." My brother is getting treated by the Joe Wildwest. I can't believe this!

I can't hold it back anymore! "AH! I'm nerding out so much right now! Rex after your ankle heals can I have the bandage."

"No." gulp, Rex is pissed. This is a rare sight. "I almost died cause of the dumb idea you and Todd thought of. If anything, I'm burning it to not let you have it. I'm sorry to having to say that in front of you Mr. Wildwest."

Joes shrugged off Rex's comment. "It's no problem. Though I'll agree that it wasn't a smart idea to come to this here mountain."

Rex starts to snitch on us. "Well they thought it would be a good idea to try and get some Vivosaurs here… Though, why were you here?"

"I was here to check for any Vivosaurs, people may abandon here. I was just lucky to find ya" wow Joe's actions are so noble.

"ROAR!" that's the Allosaurus! Is it still Chasing us!?

"That Allosaurus is madder than a sack full 'a hornet." Joe said. "We can't let it leave the mountain all riled up like that, or folks'll be in a heap 'a trouble."

Todd starts to panic, "Shit. Rex can't walk well by himself right now! What are we going to do?"

"Ain't no other choice." Joe reached for something in his bag, "We gotta subdue the critter in a Fossil Battle."

A live fossil Battle! Neither me or Todd can contain our excitement. "Wow! We get to see a real-life Fossil Battle"

Joe turs towards us with a smile. Does he have something else planned? "how about it, small fries? Think you're up to it? I'll even loan ya one 'my Dino Medals For this fight. So how 'bout it?"

I look towards Todd. "Oh! My stomach! It hurts really bad… it must be my lunch coming back up from the fall. I want to fight, but I don't think I can…"

I ignore Todd's stomach ache. Rex stares at me, less angry. "Besides Todd's panic ache. I can barely stand. Win the battle and I might give you the bandage."

With the chance of getting that. Then hell yeah! "I'll do it!"

"Well, fair enough. I'll lend you my Dino Medal." Joe held out four medals. "Here I got four of 'em, so just take the one that fits your fancy."

"Ooh!" I can feel my eyes starting sparkle.

"Alright first there's Aerosteon. He's a power type that overwhelms foes with his sharp claws. Next there's Toba Titanosaur: fast growing and very well balanced, It's one 'a yer more fashionable types." Joe breathed in. I'm getting an explanation from Joe Wildwest. "Now that there's a Tsintaosaurus. It's a backup type that has great support skills. Finally, we got a Dimetrodon. It's a tricky technical type that confounds foes with special skills."

Thinking back to playing games with Rex… "I take Aerosteon. Raw Power is my forte."

"Grease my pants and call me slick! That's mighty fine choice. Now remember once you throw that Dino Medal at the Allosaurus, yer Vivosaur will be Released. Here I had an extra one of these." He shows me an earpiece, and a holo-watch. "With these you should be able to see the stats and Abilities of Aeros."

Oh, so with the Holo-watch I can see what Aeros can do, and the earpiece I can give Aeros orders… Wait. "I can keep these?!"

Joe starts to explain his thoughts. "The Allosaurus seems to be low level. And the Vivosaurs I was giving were ones I was planning on training. So, I don't see why you shouldn't keep 'em."

I am very much amazed. I grab the medal and the other things and yell. "Let's do this Aeros!"

"Also, the strength of a Fossil Fighter depends on how much of a bond they share with their Vivosaurs. So, make sure y'all trust each other, and try to have some fun. All right?" Those words remind me of Hunter.

I smile and look at the Aeros medal. Looks like he's ready to fight.

Soon the Allosaurus comes into view "ROAR!"

"Don't worry we won't be running away this time." I smile, and throw the medal. As the medal spins in the air it glows and a thirty-three-foot-long blue dinosaur appears. After Aeros landed the watch glowed, then a counter and a two bars appeared.

I look at the bars confused… Joe calls over to me "That's the Life points and Fossil points that you and your Vivosaur have. It will also show what you opponents life points and fossil points are at. I 'think you've played enough video games to know how to win. Though the ones with higher speed move first! To use an attack, you first need Fossil points to do so, but to declare it look under Aeros' name and you should see the moves it has."

"oh, Sweet!" I had seventy FP, just enough to use Aeros. I look at the name of the skill and call. "Aeros use Wind Blast on Allo!" From the gusts of wind shot by Aeros, the Allo lost over half its health.

As I end my turn. The Allosaurus roars in anger. "ROAR!" it charged forward at Aeros. It bit into Aeros, taking him down to half health as well.

"Hooey! That was right powerful strike there. But Now it's yer tort to hit back." You don't nee to tell me that.

"Aeros another Wind blast!" with that the battle was decided. From that last shot of wind, the Allosaurus fell to the ground. After that both Vivosaurs reverted to their medal forms.

"Hot dang! The Allosaurus seems to have settled back down." Joe calls as it reverts to its medal form, "Nice job Kid. You did really good."

"You did that like a pro Sarah! Your awesome!" Todd seems to have gotten over his stomach ache.

"Hey Todd where's your stomach ache?" Rex stumbles past Todd.

Todd nervously replies, "uh… hey it seems to have passed."

Both me and Rex roll our eyes at that. Whenever we get into something scary you always complain about a stomach ache.

"Nice going! Though with what you've got, I'm not sure if you want the bandage anymore." Ah so you want it too then.

I smile and say, "Too bad, I still want it."

Looking over to where the Allosaurus was. Joe is looking at the medal. This Allosaurus was abandoned by some cruel Fighter. Reckon that's why he had his shorts in a bunch. Vivosaurs need to be with Fossil Fighters they know they can trust. If abandoned the revert back to their instincts, feral. I came here to check what was going on." With that Joe turns around and re-addresses himself. "I know you know who I am but, I'm Joe Wildwest, Fossil Fighter. You guys would be?"

Todd introduces himself first. "I'm Todd Tocchi, these two are my friends. We always cheer you on TV."

I go next. "I'm Sarah Lucertola."

"I'd be her twin brother Rex Lucertola. We're all big fans… and we hope to be Fossil Fighters like you." Ah! Theres a nevous expression on Rex's face.

"Aw, Shucks." Joe smiled, "Y'all are gonna make me blush. But if ya aim to be Fossil Fighters, aim to be better than me."

"I definitely will." No, not just him. I'm going to be a better fighter then Hunter too.

"Well, I have one more thing to do up here. Do you think you could make your way home? Joe points to Rex's ankle.

"I'm the older twin. I can carry him home." I speak first. I look over to see an angry expression on Rex.

"Then, have a safe trip home." Joe said as he walked further into the mountain.

Once out of view, rex yells at me. "Over my twisted ankle you are older! Todd give me your arm."

"oh, okay." Todd kneels down, and picks up Rex "oh this is not easy."

Rex looks at both of us and states. "I am taking favors from both of you for today. Todd your favor is to help me home."

That sounds unreasonable. "What?! Why do we owe you favors?"

Rex responds in a sarcastic tone. "Oh, I don't know. It could be for me almost dying, and getting injured."

… I don't think that's a good enough reason. "I don't think that's any reason for us to owe you favors."

Rex then gives me a threatening look. "Then would you rather me tell all of our parents what transpired today. Or would you like me to come up with an excuse of how I twisted my Ankle!"

"…" Neither me or Todd could come up with a response.

Rex gives a confident smile. "That's what I thought."
I try to think of a retort… In doing so, I look down to my hand. Which had my new Aeros Dino Medal. "How are you going to explain the Dino Medal that I now have."

I see Rex go from happy to panic mode. "crap. I forgot about that… We're gonna get yelled at!"

"you worry too much. As long as we get back before midnight mom won't yell." I convince him.

Though in the end, we all got grounded for a month.
