Dinosaur King: New Battles
By: Aubrie1234
Aubrie's POV:
After a minute or so, I could hear faint shouts of "SOMEONE, LET ME OUT!" come from upstairs. Chomp had already run down the stairs a while ago, so I knew something was up.
"Do you think something happened?" Zoe asked.
"Probably." I answered as Max ran down the stairs into the living room.
"Don't open...my bedroom...door." he panted, leaning on his knees.
"What happened, Max?" Zoe asked.
"Rex...tried to KILL me!" he answered, wide-eyed and waving his arms for emphasis, "I was doing my own business...when he slammed the door open and...tried to kill me! I had to...lock him in there so he...wouldn't come after me and...kill me!"
"You could have asked for my help." I told him simply, not at all bothered by his rant.
"How?!"
"You would've seen if you let me."
"What about after you let Rex out, Max? He'll still want to kill you." Zoe interrupted. Max paled.
"Yeah, and he still needs dinner. Plus, your parents wouldn't like that, would they?" I added.
"Then you let him out! He'll kill me if I try!" he yelled, pointing at me. I shrugged and said: "Okay, if you say so. But, to make sure he doesn't mistake me for you, I'm going to get one of my raptors to come with me. Not in baby form, of course."
"Which dinosaur are you going to use?!" Zoe asked, going fangirl. I returned Island and switched him out, grabbing Neo's card. I slashed him across the Dinoholder and he appeared in a flash of whitish-blue light. He wasn't in his baby form and I was lucky that Max's parents weren't here right now.
"This is Neo, my Neovenator. He's a wind-type carnivorous raptor." I explained to them, rubbing Neo's head, "He'll be the one to come with me."
"Rex would love to see him I bet." Max said.
"He does like wind dinosaurs." Zoe put in, nodding. Neo rolled his eyes. I giggled at the dinosaur.
"Let's just go and get him so you won't have to deal with this stuff, alright?" I said, patting the dinosaur. He growled in agreement before we went up the stairs.
Alpha Gang Base:
"It was three against one! How did that Carnotaurus beat Terry, Spiny, and Tank?!" Ursula growled after they came back.
"Maybe they had help?" Ed suggested.
"No way! They didn't have anybody else with them!"
"Maybe they were hiding?" Zander put in.
"Those kids didn't have any help! I just know it! But it still doesn't tell me how they still beat us, three-to-one!" Not far off, Seth had overheard them.
"Hm..." he muttered before walking off. Back with the trio, their Alpha Scanners had gone off, detecting another dinosaur.
Rex's POV:
When I get out of here, Max is so dead! I thought. Right now I was sitting on his bed thinking up ways to get back at Max, after I had yelled for him to let me out. Wringing his neck was one of my ideas, though I would probably be arrested for murder. Suddenly, I heard footsteps coming up the stairs. I think it might have been Max, but Zoe or Aubrie seemed more likely. But, one set of the footsteps sounded heavier than the other pair. Either it was an adult or it was one of Aubrie's dinosaurs. Then, the footsteps stopped outside the door and there was a knock.
"Who is it?" I asked. I hadn't yelled my voice hoarse from earlier, but it was sore.
"Just me and Neo, Rex." Aubrie called. So it was her. But, who's Neo? Then, she unlocked the door and opened it, allowing me to see her and a Neovenator in the hallway.
"Rex, this is Neo." she said, pointing to the dinosaur. Then, she turned to the dinosaur and pointed at me, "And Neo, this is Rex." He looked at me before snorting.
"Neo, be nice. Don't laugh at him." she said. Wait, that dinosaur had just laughed at me? ...I don't think I like Neo.
"Why is he laughing at me?" I asked. She turned back to me and shrugged.
"I don't know. He just does it sometimes when he thinks something is funny or when he sees something he thinks is obvious, but the others who are there don't see it." Obvious? Nothing's obvious right now except for him laughing at me.
"Neo, I think you've made him feel embarrassed enough." she said before she returned her dinosaur. She then switched him back out for Island, who looked at me before leaving.
"Now where are you going?" she called to him. He didn't answer and she sighed.
"What a friend..." she muttered. I let out a little chuckle. Her dinosaur just left her here!
"C'mon, Blondie. Let's go back downstairs." she said. I growled under my breath before shouting at her: "THE NAME IS REX, NOT BLONDIE!"
Downstairs:
Zoe and Max were waiting when Island came down. Then, they heard Rex yell from upstairs: "THE NAME IS REX, NOT BLONDIE!"
"Opposites attract, don't they?" Zoe asked. Max shrugged.
Upstairs:
She waved off my yell before grabbing my hand and dragged me back downstairs. "After I get you back downstairs, you can do whatever you want. Just not kill Max." she said. At the last part, I pouted slightly.
"No fair..." I muttered.
"And if you want to do something, you can help me build my doghouse for my dinosaurs if Mrs. Taylor says 'yes'." Uh, how about... NO. Absolutely not! Nope, not in a million years!
Later:
I hate her. A lot. And I shouldn't have jinxed myself by thinking that before. I thought sadly after dinner. Aubrie had explained her idea to Mrs. Taylor, who had said 'yes'. And tomorrow, I was going to have to help her. Gladly, I had school tomorrow. But she didn't, since she was still having her summer break from wherever her school was. And I had to go and help her after school. I hate my life. At least she was going to help us by sorting our cards, though.
Aubrie's POV:
After dinner, I went upstairs and into the guestroom. When Zoe had said that she didn't know how they wanted their cards sorted, it kind of gave me the idea to sort my cards. But, when I got up there, I felt that something was amiss. Island seemed to feel it too, because his back arched and he made hissing noises, the same things he did when danger was near. I glanced around the guestroom before grabbing my Dinoholder.
"Island," I said quietly, "Where's the threat?" He sniffed at the air before making a flicking motion with his tail, which probably meant 'Outside.' I nodded, then looked out the window. The night seemed quiet, but it was always that way before Alpha Droids attacked. I was confused last time, which was pretty lucky for me, but this time I was alert. I looked around for anything out of the ordinary, but didn't see anything. But, Island's instinct was never wrong. Neither were any of my other dinosaurs. I turned back to the Irritator before jerking my thumb behind me, out the window. It was a skill I had devised for my dinosaurs to tell them that we were going to the place behind me, which at the time, was outside. He nodded, then ran out into the hallway. I followed him and we both went downstairs. I had just put my hand on the doorknob when I heard that familiar voice behind me.
"Where do you two think you're going this late at night?" he asked. I turned around and faced Rex. When our eyes connected, I felt him flinch. My eyes were probably icy with determination, since I got the comment a lot from my friends.
"There's something Island and I have to do." I said simply. I knew he would want to come along, but I just couldn't risk it.
"What? Walking off and leaving me here? I don't think so. I lost you out in the city once, I'm not letting it happen again." he said. For a second, I thought I saw my own determination reflected in his eyes, but then it disappeared. I shook my head, both at that and at what he said.
"No, I'll be fine. I was before, so you don't have to babysit me." I was trying to deter him, but it seemed my jab didn't have any effect.
"I don't care. This late at night, you could get kidnapped or hurt, dinosaurs or not." he said. This was really starting to get annoying.
"Rex, there's something Island and I have to do that no one else can, so you would just be in the way if you came along. So, just this once, stay out of it." I said. He looked me hard in the eyes and I saw anger flare up in them before it was extinguished by defeat.
"..." he turned away and went up the stairs, but not before giving me a 'I hope you know what you're doing' look. Once I was sure he was gone, I ran outside and followed Island to where he was sensing the danger. Innocent people weren't going to get hurt on my watch, you can count on that.
Uh oh. Do you think it's the Alpha Gang, a rouge dinosaur, or something(someone) else? Please, tell me in a review or a PM, and I'll see you guys later!
