Dinosaur King: New Battles
By: Aubrie1234
Aubrie's POV
After I had finished laughing, along with A.J., we helped the others get back on their feet. As I helped Rex up, I got that uncomfortable feeling again. I felt the blood rush to my cheeks as I helped him.
Do I... like him? No! He already fights over Zoe, so he probably doesn't like me anymore than a friend! I screamed in my head. But then, I saw him blushing a little, even though it was small and faint.
"Who are you, anyway?" Max asked. He just had to be the oblivious one, didn't he? Rex and I then explained to them who I was and I explained how A.J. defeated the Alpha Gang's dinosaurs, since none of them were there. All of them were pretty impressed, especially Max.
"Wow! You defeated the Alpha Gang with just one dinosaur! You've got to be really powerful to do that!" he said, stars showing in his eyes. I sweatdropped at that, along with A.J.
"I have to agree with Max on that one. You were really powerful, A.J." Rex congratulated the baby Carno, squatting down to her.
"If she could right now, I bet she would be thanking you, Rex." I answered for her. Then, I remembered something I had thought about last night..
"I almost forgot!" I exclaimed, bringing out my dinoholder. A.J. knew what I was going to do, but the others were just as confused as their dinosaurs were on what I was about to do. Rex then got up off the ground and gave me a questioning look.
"I need to switch you out for a while, A.J., so don't worry. You'll get to come back out again soon." I told her before turning her into a card. They all gave me a puzzled look.
"Every once in a while I switch my dinosaurs so that they all get a chance to do things besides fight." I explained to them as I switched A.J.'s card with another one in the black box before locking it again. I then swept the card across the dinoholder, which created a sky-blue flash of light, then Island, my Irritator, was standing beside me in his baby form.
"You didn't say you had other dinosaurs..." Zoe then said, squatting down and examining Island.
"I can't remember how many I have, but that they range from being strong to insanely powerful. You really wouldn't want to mess with the more powerful ones." I explained.
"What type of dinosaur is this, anyway?" she then asked, gently stroking her finger along the small crest on Island's head.
"His name's Island. He's an Irritator, a water-type carnivorous dinosaur." I explained, picking him up and putting him comfortably in my arms. Zoe got up as well, still stroking him.
"You seem to like him, Zoe." Rex told her, raising an eyebrow.
"He's so cute, who wouldn't think so?!" she told him, going into fangirl mode. I sighed, then remembered something else.
"Oh! I almost forgot to ask you guys again! Is it alright if I come with you for a while? I really don't have anywhere to go right now..." I told them, trailing off and looking down at the ground on the last sentence. I heard whispering in the background as they asked each other, then felt a strong, but gentle hand on my shoulder. I looked up to see Rex in front of me, holding my shoulder reassuringly.
"You can come and stay with me and Max at his house." he told me, letting go of my shoulder. Then, they brought out their dinoholders. I managed to whisper a 'thank you' before he continued.
"You need to set the coordinates on your dinoholder for Japan, Aubrie. We're going to teleport there." Rex then told me. As I typed in the coordinates, Max and Zoe disappeared in flashes of light, along with their dinosaurs. When I was finished, Rex, Ace, Island, and me were the only ones still there.
"Rex," I asked the blond, "why did you stay with me?"
"Because I thought that you needed someone to stay with you while you teleport. On the count of three, we go together, alright?" I nodded my head, then he started to count down.
"One..." he said as I got ready to push the teleport button.
"Two..." I tensed, ready to go.
"Three!" We then pressed the buttons at the same time, and were engulfed in flashes of light.
