~CHAPTER 9~

Dina disembarked off the helicopter and looked around.

"Man, it sure is…Ah…Ah…AHCHOO!" Dina sneezed. "…Dusty here…" she sheepishly finished. A man walked up to her. He had spiky black hair, a teal and white visor, a red scarf, yellow and teal over shirt with black shirt underneath it, black gloves, teal and turquoise pants, a red belt and pouch, and yellow boots.

"Welcome to Cranial Isle, the land where heat and passion swirl!" the man exclaimed, thumbing the bill of his visor.

"I'm Terry, the Staff Leader here on Cranial Isle. Nice to meet you!"

"'Sup, Terry." Dina replied, rubbing her nose.

"You must be Dina. Stella had a lot to say about you."

"Dunno why. I'm no one special." Dina shrugged off the compliment.

"Word on the street is that you took down some cheats who were scaring Fighters with a fake monster. That sure sounds like something special." Terry raised an eyebrow.

"It really wasn't much."

"Man, you are some kind of Fighter. Everyone's talking about your last match, you know?"

Dina blinked.

"They are?"

"Yea, they are." Terry then explained about the new VMM upgrades, and then disappeared into the islands Fighter Station.

"This CS Sonar is a right finicky devise! It has to be practically on top of a Slablet to get a reading!" A familiar voice said.

Dina started and looked to find Prof. Scatterly standing near the Fighter's Station in front of another building.

"I'd have to explore dig sites in a slow, painstaking fashion, and I'm too old for such tomfoolery. And I'm too fat to walk around for hours at a time. Perhaps it's time to lay off the pudding, wot wot?"

"…Pudding?" Tsuno questioned.

"Ooooooh! I want some!" Wild Winds cried.

"Shut up you two." Dina growled as she walked over. "And you guys better not disappear on my again!"

"Hello, Professor." She called.

"Oh, good heavens! If it isn't Dina!" Scatterly cheered. "Brilliant! I was hoping you'd come to Cranial Isle. How does Cranial City find you? Does its unfamiliar layout confuse and befuddle you?" He asked.

Dina shrugged.

"Yes, well, not to worry. I shall simply squire you about town as one scientific mind to another!"

"I have no idea what he just said." Tsuno sweat-dropped.

Scatterly pointed out the Fossil Guild, the Fighter Station, and Wildwest Tower, (where Joe lived.) Then he directed her attention towards the building behind them.

"And here is the crown jewel of the island, if I do say so myself…The Caliosteo Museum!" He put on a thoughtful expression.

"It would be a shame to leave without a tour of the museum, eh? Since you're so close and all? Come! Please! I would be delighted to have you as my special guest!" Dina reluctantly allowed him to drag her into the building.

"This is the Caliosteo Museum, a gallery of rare and wonderful discoveries made on the Caliosteo Islands! Yes, quite. Do your eyes spy my newest prize? It's the Calio Slablet we obtained together!

"I've also added a proper translation to the exhibit so all can bask in its glory and wonder. Hold no! You should not leave without viewing the first Slablet I acquired! Yes, of course. Quite." Dina stepped up to the table and read the plaque under Slablet #1.

'The Kingdom of Caliosteo was ruled by ZongaZonga. He was a sorcerer of overwhelming power and might. Such was his sorcery, that when he issued a command, the people had no choice but to obey. He even used strange magic's to resurrect ancient beasts from fossils.'

"Quite nice, yes? Of course, I'd give a kipper dinner if I could somehow find the full set of Slablets. They would give us an invaluable look at the full history of these islands, you see. I say, just the thought of it enough to make my heart go pitty-pat!" Professor Scatterly gave a dreamy sigh. "Yes, well, feel free to look around."

Dina, upon Storm Blade's rather annoying insistence, spent a few minutes looking around the museum. Scatterly, after realizing she was leaving, gave her instructions to the dig site Mt. Krakanak.


Dina had dug up a few new fossil rocks in varying elemental types as well as a few jewel rocks. She approached a covered, (and rather rickety,) bridge, where she was promptly glomped by Todd.

"Hey, Dina! You here to dig?" Dina raised an eyebrow and dusted off her skirt.

"Ah…Don't answer that. Anyways, this place is really awesome! There are tons of fossil rocks I've never seen before! Go ahead! Slam your pickax down anywhere and see what you find!" Before Dina could do more than nod, someone interrupted their conversation.

"…I knew you were here by the way the air was suddenly filled with high-pitched squeals of delight." Rupert walked out of the bridge, followed closely by a purple robot that looked a lot like KL-33N.

"Rupert! Are you looking for fossil rocks for Round 3?" Todd asked in his usual cheerful way. Rupert rolled his eyes.

"Please. Don't sully me with such accusations. My vivosaurs are already skilled enough to win Round 3 with little trouble." He shook his head and turned towards the robot.

"No, I simply came here to run some field tests on a new product. This is Di66-R, an automated excavation tool recently developed by FossilDig Inc." Todd looked at it curiously, while Dina blew air up her forehead to brush her bangs away from her eyes to get a better look. Di66-R floated forward and twirled.

"Good day, sir or madam. I am Di66-R." It stated. Rupert shot a smug look towards the two fighters in front of him.

"This robot contains built-in sonar and has the ability to locate and excavate fossil rock automatically." He said. "It is an important product for the company, which is why my father asked me to perform the field test. The sales potential of Di66-R is almost limitless. When Fighters see what it can do..."

Di66-R suddenly sparks, and all three teens looked at it to see smoke leaking from its head.

"Di66-R will b-b-be releas-s-s-sed!" It stammered. "W-w-welcome, sir! Go, madam! I am... I am-m-m-m-m... PLEASE INSERT TOKEN! YOUR CALL IS IMPORTANT TO US! I AM ERROR!" It then breaks down, and struggles to remain floating.

"What the hell?" Dina shrieked, jumping away from it. Todd jumped a few feet into the air when a large smoke-cloud popped out, quickly followed by a banging sound. He landed in Dina's arms, and yelped in fear.

"Dude! Get off of me!" Dina snapped, dropping him. While they were doing this, Rupert stepped forward to examine the 'bot.

"Oh, what now?" He asked irritably.

"404 PAGE NOT FOUND!" Di66-R shrieked. "BAD COMMAND OR FILE NAME! ABORT RETRY FAIL!" It suddenly spun around, hit Rupert and knocked him down before speeding off across the rope bridge.

"Holy-! Are you okay?" Dina asked frantically, crouching down next to Rupert.

"…No…No! No, no, no, no, no!" he wailed. "That idiot robot just ran off with my dino medals!"

"I don't see why that's such a bid problem." Todd said, confused.

"You don't get it! It's programmed with an automatic battle system!" Rupert shrieked. Dina's eyes hardened as Rupert continued to fret. She raised her hand and….

SLAP!

The sound echoed around the dig site, causing a few fighters to stop what they were doing.

"GET A GRIP, HOT-SNOT!" Dina shouted. "WHAT THE HELL WILL FREAKING OUT DO?!" Rupert gently touched his stinging cheek, looking up at the angry girl next to him.

"….You are right. I must stop it!" He tried to stand up, only to grunt in pain and fall back down.

"Don't try to move! You took a real pounding there." Todd exclaimed, gently holding Rupert down.

"Don't you see? If Di66-R starts randomly battling strangers with my vivosaurs, there will be chaos! The reputation of my father's company will be stained forever! I have to….I must…Gnnnh!" Todd once again held Rupert down.

"Don't worry. I'll go after it, right now you stay put." She put extra emphasis on the last two words.

Dina sprinted across the bridge, and looked around quickly. She spotted Di66-R Higher up on the path, and began sprinting again.

"Prepare for battle." She said aloud, her vivosaurs rumbling in agreement.

"Green alert!" The robot croaked when she approached. "Fighter located-ed-ed! Battle system i-i-i-initiated."


It sent out a Brachio, a Tophis and a Krypto, while Dina sent out Storm Blade, Tsuno and Wild Winds.

"Let's do this!" Dina shouted, getting the first move.

Storm Blade rotated to the front right position, then used Wind blast. Krypto took forty-four damage.

Krypto used Krypto Fang on Wild Winds, who took fifteen damage.

Storm Blade used Wind Blast on Krypto again, who took forty-one damage. Tsuno then used running smash on Tophis, who took thirty-two damage.

Brachio used Mighty Stomp on Wild Winds, who took sixty-two damage and reverted back to dino medal form.

"Don't worry, it's no problem!" Dina reassured her crest-fallen vivo.

Storm Blade rotated to the front left position, and proceeded to use Aeros Alert on Tophis, who took sixty-three damage total.

Krypto used Krypto fang on Tsuno, who took twelve damage.

Storm Blade and Tsuno rotated back to their previous positions. Tsuno used Running Smash on Tophis, who took thirty-two damage and melted back into a dino medal. Storm Blade used Wind Blast on Krypto, who took forty-six damage and reverted back to Dino medal form.

Brachio used Mighty Stomp on Storm Blade, who took thirty-six damage.

Tsuno rotated to the front-center position and used running smash. Brachio took thirty-one damage. Storm Blade rotated to the center-front and used Wind Blast, which delivered a forty-six critical hit.

Brachio used Mighty Stomp on Tsuno, resulting in a sixty-five critical hit and Tsuno reverting.

Dina caught the medal, and called out the next attack.

Storm Blade used Aeros Alert, causing thirty-seven damage total.

Brachio used Mighty Stomp, delivering a critical hit thirty-five damage and rotating Storm Blade to the back left position.

Storm Blade rotated back to the front-center and used Wind Blast again. Brachio took thirty-five damage and became a dino medal once again.

Storm Blade roared in triumph and Dina caught his medal, smiling to herself.


"SYSTEM FAILURE DETECTED!" Di66-R shrieked. "A WINNER IS YOU! REBOOT! REBOOT! REBOOT! ...System restored. Reboot complete. Full functionality has been restored."

"Wicked." Dina smiled.

"Woooo, Dina! Way to go!" Todd cheered, running up to her and glomping her.

"Eek! Get off of me!" Dina shook him off. Rupert limped towards them slowly;

"You…did it? You stopped the robot? Er, yes, well…I mean to say…You should not have taken matters into your own hands! I'm sure I could have dealt with the thing myself." Dina lightly slapped his arm.

"Dude, admit it~!" She sang, "You wouldn't have been able to do anything without your medals!"

Rupert blushed and looked at her.

"…Alright. I shall admit it. But, only because you saved my father's company from ruin!" He hastily explained. Todd smirked.

"Suuuuure. That's the only reason. Are you sure it's not because-! Mmph!" Rupert covered Todd's mouth with his hand.

"Yes, I am positive that that is the only reason." Rupert hissed.

"I…Don't want to know. Whatever, I'm gone." She was about to head off down the path, when Rupert stopped her by grabbing her hand.

Dina flickered her gaze between their hands and his face.

"A-Ah…" Rupert turned bright red, and instantly let go. He cleared his throat.

" Ahem, yes…When we launch Di66-R, I shall see that you receive the very first one."

"No need. I'm good." Dina declined.

"Come now." Rupert said. "There is no reason for hesitation. This is what field tests are for. With proper modifications, it will never do such a thing again. You... you will accept one, won't you?"

"No thanks, hot-snot."

"...I... I don't understand." Rupert stepped back in confusion.

"For a smart guy, you're not that bright." Todd told Rupert. "You know that? We don't want a robot because it would take all the fun out of it! No Fighter wants someone else to dig up fossil rocks. They want to do it themselves!"

"...It's...fun?" Rupert sounded confused. "...Fun. Hmmm..." He turned away from the two.

"Come Di66-R! We must be off." He walked down the path with Di66-R following him. Todd and Dina exchange looks before heading down the path together.

"I think I'm gonna sleep well tonight!" Dina joked, stretching her arms above her head as the entered town. They passed a boy talking to an older woman.

"Hey, did you hear? Someone just stole the Mammoth Vision video screen!" The boy exclaimed.

"I guess they have back-up unit." The woman replied.

Dina and Todd exchange looks before heading towards the center of the square. They were instantly separated by the fretted crowd. The Mammoth Screen flew into the town.

The screen turned on, showing someone with their back to the gathered crowd. They had a black cape, and a silver crown with gold edges sat on their head.

"Fools!" The person is a man, and his voice sounds like a maniacal cackle.

"Bow before Don Boneyard! The one true leader of..." He turns around. "The Bare Bones Brigade!"

Dina gasped and a few others screamed.

HIS HEAD IS A SKULL!
