Dinosaur King: New Battles

By: Aubrie1234

Aubrie's POV

"Ugh." I grunted as I woke up. I heard a soft growl beside me, telling me that A.J. was also waking up now.

"Last night was uncomfortable, wasn't it?" I asked. I heard a small grunt of agreement, then I felt her crawl out of the sleeping bag. I then felt her climb on top of me and lick my face.

"Alright, A.J.! I'm up, I'm up!" I told the Carno as she licked me. She then stopped, climbed off, and waited for me to sit up. After I did, rubbing the sleep and dino-slobber from my eyes, she licked my hand, telling me she wanted me to pet her. I after did, she growled out the best purr a dino could do. I chuckled as she did, then got up. I rolled the sleeping bag back up and put it into the backpack.

I then slung the pack over my shoulders and said: "We're ready to go, A.J.!" She didn't get a chance to answer, however, because of something that shook the ground. We both looked up and saw a dinosaur battle going on past some trees. It was a red Tyrannosaurus Rex, a blue-and-purple Spinosaurus, and a purple Saichania against a yellow Triceratops, a blueish-gray Carnotaurus, and a green-and-blue Parasaurolophus. I knew who was who as soon as I saw them, so I knew something was going on. I saw Paris and the Chomp get pushed back by Tank and Terry, then saw Spiny about to unleash a Water Tail attack on Ace. I knew I needed to help, and so did A.J. I turned her back into a card, then turned her into her normal form. We raced to the clearing where they were fighting and saw Chomp and Paris get turned back into cards by a powerful Red Tackle attack from Terry. That just made us madder. I brought out the Tornado Bash move card and slashed it across my dinoholder, making A.J. do the move. She instantly went for Terry and sure gave him a pounding with that move. Afterwords, it turned back into a card and she roared at the other two, standing protectively in front of Ace and Comp's and Paris' cards. All three dinosaurs were a bit shocked and surprised by the appearance of the new dinosaur on Ace's side.

"Rrrrrraaaaaawwwwrrrrr!" A.J. roared. I then slashed a Heavy Kamikaze Tackle move card across the dinoholder. She did this one to Tank and instantly turned her into a card. A.J. then snorted at Spiny, daring him to attack. He didn't back down, but didn't attack, either. This gave me the chance to give Spiny some payback by using the Piercing Blow move card. He didn't stand a chance. Afterwords, I turned A.J. back into a card, then her baby form. She was now jumping happily beside me, now that she had given the three dinos a whipping they would never forget. I then heard some footsteps coming from the direction of where Ace was. As I looked, I saw the D-Team and the Alpha Gang running up to the now battered battlefield. I could clearly hear Ursula shouting that she wasn't an old lady and Zoe arguing back, until they noticed that their dinosaurs were in card form. As the Alpha Gang ran to grab their cards, they vowed once again (yes, AGAIN) that they would one day have the D-Team's dinosaurs. As they ran off, I sighed in exasperation.

"Don't they ever give up?" I whispered, mostly to myself. A.J. just shook her head. I then turned to see Max and Zoe grab their dinosaur cards and Rex turn Ace back into his card form, then baby form. Max and Zoe also put their dinosaurs back in their baby from. As soon as Ace was back in his baby form, he turned to look at us, his gaze giving us a silent thank-you. He then turned back to Rex and cuddled his leg affectionately. Rex crouched down and petted him, smiling. As he petted Ace, I debated in my mind if I should go over and talk to them or not. I didn't get a chance to decide, though, because Rex then looked up from his petting and saw me and A.J. He silently stood up and looked at us, a trace of surprise in his gaze. I couldn't blame him either. He didn't know anyone else besides him and his friends knew about their dinosaur adventures. I caught his gaze for only a moment before deciding to run. I then turned and ran back the way I had come, A.J. following close behind. A few seconds after I ran, I heard shouts of "Wait!" and "Rex!" come from behind me. I just ran, not stopping until I thought I had lost them. I was wrong.

I heard a gentle voice from behind me, say: "Don't run off again, please. I just wanted to know who you were." I turned around and came face-to-face with that same gaze again, except it held curiosity instead of shock.

"I'm Aubrie." I answered. Then I gestured to A.J. and told him: "This is A.J., short for Aubrie Jr." He then held out his hand and said: "I'm Rex." I grabbed it and shook it, then let go and blushed. He made me feel uncomfortable for some reason. I could also see a faint blush on his cheeks as well.

"Are you the one who defeated the Alpha Gang?" he then asked, changing the subject.

"Yes, but why are you asking?"

"I wanted to say thank you for saving Ace from them, along with Chomp and Paris." he told me. Then, A.J. shot her head up and looked towards the bushes behind Rex. It was seconds after that we heard the sounds of stumbling and tripping, along with shouts of Rex's name.

"Oops. I guess I ran too far ahead." Rex said, sweatdropping. He then called to them, telling them where he was. Soon, Max, Chomp, and Ace burst from the bushes, accidentally landing on Rex and pushing them all to the ground.

"Looks like half of them caught up." I answered him, giggling. A.J. was laughing her head off at it, though. She was already on her back, laughing and holding her stomach with her small arms. Then, Zoe and Paris crashed through and tripped over Rex and the others, landing on top of them. I then burst into a laughing fit, doubling over.

"Oh, you're just too funny!" I told Rex in between laughs.
