"Ow, ow, ow..." Zander without his cape and shirt on sobbed in pain. Kyra was treating him in Reese's room, Sarah and Spiny played together. "Come on, be a man," Reese chuckled, her eyes closed to avoid looking at the blood. "Alright..." "Don't be a crybaby," Kyra said, "you know, you two by that caused Ree much bigger pain. Do you realize that a birth will be pretty painful and uncomfortable for her?" "No..." Zander honestly replied, "I-I... I didn't want to hurt her-" "It's okay like I said..." Reese put her hand on her belly. "It is worth it, I can stand a little pain in order to be happy with you and our little treasure."
"Aww... You have just the best girlfriend~ I'm so jealous!"
"Kyra, stop."
"Fine, fine..." Kyra finished bandaging Zander's wounds. "Ree, what actually happened? I'm not an expert, but these aren't wounds from a dinosaur, I'm sure of it."
"Can you keep it a secret?" Reese asked her, waiting for her to nod, "it was Zepar. She... She is back." "No way..." "Yes way, Kyra. She... I-I... Just don't say anything to anyone. I don't want them to know after sacrificing so much to defeat her, especially Zoe..." "B-but... Ree, how?" "I don't know... But she wants me, she wants her revenge. That's why you, Kyra, and the others must go home as soon as possible."
"And leave you behind with her? No way!" Kyra objected, "if she's here, she'll hurt you, both of you!" "Usually I wouldn't mind... I must wait 7 months and then I can fight her for the final time-" "No!" Zander shouted, "she'll kill you... T-that's the only thing she wants. You should go with your friends back home. Zepar isn't there, so, you two will be safe." "And leave you behind?" Reese said with tears in her eyes, looking at Zander, he nodded, "you can't be serious! I won't leave you!" "Angel, I'll do anything to keep you two safe, even if it means giving you up and letting you go..."
"He can't mean..."
"I am not leaving-" Reese quickly covered her mouth. "Ree? What's wrong?" Her skin was paler, she ran into the bathroom and yelled at them, vomiting: "Leave!"
"Oh, Ree..."
They obeyed her. Only Sarah stayed, walking to the door, worried. She pushed to the door, nothing happened. "C'mon, open. Open! Please!" After a while, the door really opened, Reese came to the bed, crying. "Reese!" Sarah followed her. Reese sat on the bed. "No, no, no, don't cry. There's nothing to worry about!"
"And we're where we ended up yesterday... I keep running in the same circles over and over again. I wish to stay here, but not to leave anyone... Why...? Why did he say that? He doesn't want me to leave, does he? What am I thinking?!"
Before she could break into more tears, her phone rang. When she picked it up, she heard a female voice: "Hi, I thought if we could meet up and talk about something." "I don't see a problem, but who are you?"
Kyra and Zander still worried were walking away. "Is it normal that she throws up so often?" Zander asked Kyra. "She's going to have a baby, it is often, but Wendy didn't that often. It can depend on the person. She's also afraid of blood, so, that very likely helped too and she's even stressed out, that can be bad for both of them," Kyra explained, making Zander more worried, she noticed, "don't worry, she's pretty tough and can handle every situation. Ree wouldn't purposely risk the health of her baby, I know that."
"...But... You faced Zepar's power before, right?"
"Kinda... She... I saw my family hurt when I looked into her eyes, but Ree saved me."
"So, she never forced you to hurt someone you love..."
"No... Only my broken mind does that-Don't even say-" He just nodded. Kyra gasped and covered her mouth. "She forced you... No! You wouldn't-" "She controlled my whole body, I couldn't do anything," Zander said sadly, letting a tear fall. "I didn't even know Zepar can do something like that..."
"She made Reese do even more horrible things."
"So, she really used Ree... N-no...T-that's what happened. When we arrived she was lying there, hurt, and Zepar was after her. Ree tried to betray her."
"This isn't the best topic for any of us. Kyra, can you make sure Zoe feels okay?" Zander asked Kyra, shocking her. "W-why?" "Reese told her something cruel... Now, they both feel bad because of that." "Now that you mentioned, she looked a little upset..."
"Thank you."
They didn't even notice amber eyes watching them, waiting for Reese to leave her room.
Later
"Here you have them!" Dr. Z snapped, giving D-team the Dinotector. "That's so cool!" Cole cheered, "let's try them!" "But we would need the new device for that," Dengyo stopped him, "am I right?" "Yes," Rex nodded. "Oh, I wonder who had to do that," Sue commented, looking at Alice and Justin. "We would have done that!" Justin objected, "but..." "Reese said she's tired, so, I got you guys to do some work and that's the only thing done on the devices," Alice explained.
Zoe grabbed Max's hand tightly. "Something wrong?" Max quietly asked her. "Then I talked to her and made her mad," Zoe whispered, "I can't even look at her...I hurt her..." "It will be okay." Max gave her a big smile.
"I haven't seen her since after that battle," Kenji realized, "do you think she's alright?" "...I'm... sure she is..." Dark said. "She needs some time," Kyra said, "I mean a pregnancy isn't the easiest. It can cause a big emotional instability, especially for someone like Ree. If she'll break into a cry or sudden laugh, it won't be surprising."
"I won't," a calm voice sounded behind them, Reese was standing in the door. Zoe looked away from her. "I can control myself, unlike someone."
She let go of Max's hand and quickly walked away. "Zoe?" "What's up with her?" Reese wondered. "I-I go after her," Max said and left. "I think somebody told her something hell bad," Sue murmured, looking at Reese. "Did I have another choice? It was the only way to open her eyes. Anyway, I go work on the device."
"Yeah... Everything is prepared, material, blueprints," Alice told Reese. "Thanks," the scientist said as she headed away, her Saurolophus following.
Zander was watching his angel at work, she finished one of the devices, then he decided to step in.
He started to sing: "Oh, my Angel. I love my Dinosaur.
But when I look into your eyes, I think I love you more.
Be my Jurassic Valentine."
"Huh?! Z-Zan?"
"Falling deep into your eyes, I love the way you archaeologies.
Angel stay with me forever moooooooor-"
"Zan, stop!" Reese growled. Zander immediately stopped. "I don't have time for this." "A-angel... Sorry I bothered you..." Zander said sadly and turned around. Reese couldn't stand it. "Zander, wait!" He turned back to her. She stood up but for some reason, she lost balance. "Angel!" Zander ran to her and stopped her fall.
"Are you alright? W-what happened?"
"I'm fine... Damn high heals! I must have step badly or something," Reese replied. "And you're really okay?" Zander asked her. "Yes."
"W-what's wrong?" Reese felt her feet unnaturally shaking and wobbling. It happened before when she got these shoes on when she came back from that meeting with-
"Angel?"
"I'm sorry, Zan, for acting like that. It's just... I must work."
"Is your work really more important than a family to you?" Zander wondered. Reese remembered. "What the... What is he trying to say? Why does he say the same thing as Zoe did?"
"N-no... It's not like that. Nothing's more important than family to me!" Reese said. "Not even me?" "Huh? What...?"
"Zan... What's wrong? He isn't pointing to that, is he? Something's wrong with him..."
"You used me-" "N-no! No, I didn't, I... Do you really believe that? Do you believe her?!" "No! I just..." "Back then... I wanted to keep my family safe. It was the only way. I love you and I wouldn't do that ever again. I'm not like Zepar. Like I said I'm not going to leave you."
"I'm sorry I doubted you, my angel," Zander apologized.
"No, I'm sorry... I don't want you to be sad. I know what will make you happier."
Reese hummed for a while and then she started to... sing?
"Oh, my sweet man, you love your dinosaur.
And when I look into your eyes, I know I love you more.
I'll be your Jurassic Valentine.
Falling deep into your eyes, I love the way you fantasize.
I'll stay with you forever moooooooore!
And love you like you love your dinosaur."
No, it was so out of the notes that it can't be called singing.
Zander stared at her, she was blushing more than ever before.
"Why did I do that? I made a fool out of myself..."
"Angel, t-that w-was..." Zander anxiously stuttered, he didn't want to hurt her, but he didn't want to lie to her either. "It was horrible... I know," Reese admitted, "I wanted to... You wrote me that song to express the love you feel for me and I wanted to do the same. I changed some of the words, but I completely ruined it because I can't sing." "No, no, no! It's okay, I love the words. And the singing... Wasn't the best, but... You can get better."
"I have an idea!" Reese took something from an inside pocket of her lab cloak. It was her silver flute. "A flute? What do you-"
"Shh! Just listen."
Zander obeyed her, watching her carefully. Once he heard the first note Reese played on the flute, a wide shining smile appeared on his face. It was his song.
Reese played it for a while. When she stopped, she was smiling as well. She fell into Zander's hug.
"That was... Incredible..." "Thanks... I guess you're going to sing and I'm going to play it as a lullaby for Parie." "I'm sure Gabriel will like it," Zander said, his hands on Reese's back slowly lowering down, making Reese's face totally red. "Uhm... Zan...?" He immediately put his hands off her. "S-sorry!" His face was even redder than hers.
Reese pulled him closer, taking his hand, putting it on her belly again. "Maybe it's too soon, but I think she likes that song," Reese said. "He," Zander wanted to correct her. Reese chuckled and replied: "I won't argue with you about that."
They looked at each other, leaning closer they kissed for a long time. Zander wrapped his arms around Reese, pulling her even closer. She was shaking with excitement. No... That wasn't just exciting, her feet were trembling again.
"What's wrong? I... I can't stand..."
They stopped when they needed an air. Reese was silent. "Did something happen, my angel?" Zander wondered. She didn't answer.
He grabbed her right hand and put his on her hips. "Uh...? What are you-" "You can dance, can't you, angel?" "M-maybe... But I'll never be an as good dancer as you are," Reese admitted. "I'm good just at single dancing," Zander told her, "...Ellie taught me how to dance in a pair." "Is everything okay?" "Yeah, yeah!"
Zander started to sing and dance with Reese. But halfway through the song-
"Oh no!" Reese heard and actually felt something cracking, she lost her balance. She let go of Zander to prevent his fall. He couldn't stop hers, he wasn't fast enough. When he realized what's going on, it was too late. Reese's head encountered the desk and her body hit the ground.
"No, no, no... Nonononono! What have I...?" His eyes widen in indescribable horror and fear. The blood flowing from her head didn't help him to calm down.
"Angel...? ANGEL! PLEASE, HELP! SOMEONE! ANYONE!"
Hospital, an hour later
Not even time that passed since he saw her helped him to forget that look and calm down. He was shaking more than ever, crying. He was standing in the corridor, in front of the room Reese was in, holding Sarah, Spiny nuzzling his leg slightly to comfort him, he couldn't go in. He knew he must, but he couldn't.
Rushing footsteps approached him. They stopped near him. He looked up from the floor and saw Zoe, Max, Rex, Sue, Kyra, and their dinos.
"Is she okay?" Zoe asked him. "I don't know." "What happened?" "I don't know..." "How it happened?" "I-I don't know..." "Where is she?" Zander pointed at the door in front of them.
"W-what did you do to her?!" Zoe snapped at him. "I-I didn't want to... She lost her balance and fell..." Zander sobbed, "I... I couldn't prevent that... I wasn't able to save her..." "You-" "Zoe, no..." Max took her hand, stopping her.
"But Reese is hurt! She's hurt because of him!"
"Girl, she'll sure be fine," Sue tired to assure her. "I would never purposely hurt her!" Zander objected.
Zoe turned to the door and started knocking. "Reese?" She took the knob, but the door didn't even move. "It's locked?" She knocked again. "Reese, it's me, Zoe!" There was a silence on the other side of the door. "Please... I know you're angry at me, but I want to know if you're okay..." She knocked more.
Suddenly a robotic voice spoke up and a dark blue robot moved on the door: "The patient doesn't wish to be disturbed, walk away." "...But I'm her sister!" "Walk away or else I will be forced to electrocute you."
"What... I won't stop until I see my sister!"
"Zoe, don't!" Rex tried to stop her. "G-girl, I would listen to him..."
Zoe didn't listen to them. "Zo, I don't think it's the best idea," Kyra said. Zoe continued hitting the door. "As you wish," the robot said. Sparks appeared near him. "Zoe, watch out." Max wanted to get her out of the way, but she pushed him away.
Before Zoe could get shocked, Zander, putting quickly Sarah on the floor, stepped in front of her, but nothing happened. Zoe stared at him in disbelief.
"Sorry, it did that again..." a young black-haired man apologized, holding a remote control. "You are that guy we met with that chick," Sue realized. "Who are you?" Rex asked him. "My name is Jeremy Ian Komatsu, I'm Ellie's younger brother."
"Komatsu?" Kyra wondered, carefully watching him.
"I-I am part of security... Sorry again, all the AIs are acting weird since that virus incident." "Still? It was eight years ago," Rex said.
"Zoe, are you-" "I'm fine," Zoe replied before Max could even ask. She turned to Zander.
While that was going on, Paris and Sarah ran to the door, they were happy, she was coming.
The scientist opened the door with her head bandaged, saying nothing, but letting everyone know she isn't happy.
"Ree, how are you?" Kyra asked her. Reese's answer was immediate and strict: "Fine."
She gave Zander and Zoe a death glare, even worse one than usual, scaring them. "You two."
"...Uh... Yes...?" They both insecurely nodded.
"Don't go on my eyesight," Reese said coldly. "What...?" "E-excuse me...?"
"If you can't stand in one room for five minutes without arguing, then I don't want to see either of you." With those, she left, Sarah followed her.
"I... I screwed up again..." Zoe sobbed, "everything I do is wrong in her eyes." "That's... Maybe true," Zander told her, "but despite that, she cares about you more than anything." "No... She cares about you the most and I was a fool I didn't realize that sooner and wanted her to leave," Zoe admitted, "I'm sorry and... Thank you... But why did you-" "I don't want to be a villain anymore and Reese would never forgive me that..." Zoe just smiled at him.
Toilets
Reese fell on her knees beside the toilet, her legs couldn't hold her. She started vomiting again.
"This is... This is horrible..." she thought, "I... Didn't even know it's that bad. And... I never expected to see people I love fighting. I must decide... Stay? Or go home? It's a terrible thought and everything because of this stupid little-I wish it would be over. I don't want to be worried about something inside me every time I do anything. I can't be myself anymore because I would hurt it and I don't want that... I just want this to be over, not to wake up and throw up, worrying about myself more than before. I want to stop this, I want to end this. I am too weak... I don't want this, I don't want it. Just remove it from me already, stop my suffering."
It took her some time to realize something is going on around her. She was washing her face to snap out of that. "What-what am I thinking?" she asked herself, "those are all lies. I would never want that... Come on, open your eyes, Reese!"
She stared at her reflection.
Alpha gang base
With that pool of blood, the room looked like a crime scene. Ed, Dengyo, Cole, Alice, Justin, Kenji, and Dark were investigating the place. Justin was trying to look away from the blood to stay conscious.
"How...? I... can't believe... that happened..." Dark whispered. "Don't cry!" Kenji hugged. Dengyo noticed something, he picked up a red heal. "That's Reese's," Cole realized. "It is scratched," Dengyo stated. "Zander said she fell, so, this isn't surprising," Ed said. "No... I don't think it was by the fall." "And if Dengyo says so, it's true," Kenji laughed, "he's the ultimate detective. Bro, you just need a hat and cut your hair to look like Shui-" "Kenji, not now."
Kenji changed his hair color to darker and shortened his hair. "If you won't cosplay him, then I will!" "Kenji, leave it on later," Justin told him, "if Reese's shoes were not damaged by the fall, then-" "Ugh! It was someone-Ugh..." Alice sobbed in pain, holding her head. "Sister! A-again?" "Don't worry... I..."
"Asu, you shouldn't... do that..." Dark murmured. "It's... it's fine... I... I see something... They actually really damaged it... They wanted to hurt Reese..." Alice explained. "Who?" Cole wondered.
"I don't know... I only see amber, no... hazel eyes..."
Ed immediately realized who is she talking about: "No... This is bad."
Hospital, toilets
She stared at her reflection, still snapping out. She saw something coming. She quickly dodged, seeing a pipe hitting the sink she stood a second ago at. Reese turned back, she didn't expect her to attack, but when she noticed those dark marks on her face, she knew.
Ursula attacked her again with the pipe, more aggressively than before. Reese made a few big steps back, hitting the wall. Another attack was coming, Reese ducked. She would run, but she couldn't risk another fall, the floor was completely wet.
"Zepar, let her be!"
No answer.
Reese straightened up, Sarah stood in front of her, growling. "Sarah, you can't fight here," Reese told her.
"If you wish for a fight." Ursula grabbed Reese, teleporting herself, the scientist, and her dinosaur outside.
"Ursula, snap out of it! I know you can!"
She didn't listen. Taking her Alpha scanner, she summoned Terry. Reese, scared of her life when he looked at her, picked Sarah from the ground. The T-Rex was coming closer, Reese was backing off until a tree stopped her.
It's happening again, she's useless. It was the totally same scenario as two years ago when she faced the Crylophosaurus now known as Nicolas' Ria. She was shaking with fear. Then a quiet voice in her head told her something: "The first time this happened, Zepar got all of her power back, the second time you were stronger and braver, what happened?"
"I won't give up," Reese said as she turned Sarah into a card and activated her. Sarah pushed Terry as far away from Reese as she could. Terry grabbed Sarah's tail and threw her away. "Sarah, no!" "And it will get worse, whahaha!" Ursula was ready to swipe her move card. "I won't let you do that!" Reese jumped at her, causing both of them to fall on the ground. "Ah! You... Get off me, creator!" She heard parts of Ursula's voice this time.
"I know what's this like! You must fight it! Ursula, you're slowly losing yourself!"
"How can you know what's it like?!" Ursula snapped. "Please, trust me at least with this..." She struggled, successfully shook Reese off and stood up.
"Wake up!"
Nothing she says will change this, nothing.
"Don't be her puppet!"
Nothing...
That devil was holding her on the strings, she couldn't fight. "What are you trying to do?"
Ursula grabbed the strings and tried to tear them apart, but the only thing she did was hurting and scratching her hands.
"You can't fight me.
She was right...
"You're going to kill me for this, old lady."
Her anger was awakened. She remembered.
She was just 6 years old, a man was standing in front of her. She was crouching in the corner, crying, it hurt her. He hit again, and again, it was her father.
Not long after that, they saved her and took her to the orphanage. She didn't talk to anyone for some time, she was suspicious of everyone.
One day when she was eating her lunch all alone, two boys came to her, one was almost 3 years old and the other one 8. They talked with her, had fun and later got into troubles together as siblings that they later became.
"Stop, lying to yourself."
No, she got the control back.
Ursula... No, Zepar picked the pipe up, heading at Reese, that was still lying on the ground. She was about to attack, when something wrapped around her wrists, it was some kind of lasso.
Reese recognized it. "That can't be..." A guardian... In the next second, it was confirmed that he isn't alone.
The words: "Ursula, my love!" made the dark marks disappear. Ursula let go of the pipe, got from the lasso, turned Terry into a card and started to running away from the blond man.
"No way... How? Dr. Owen?"
Before Reese could find an answer to that mystery, Aki and Spike came to her and helped her to stand up.
"How are you, Reese?" Aki asked her. "Fine, she didn't hurt me... She was-"
"Me?" Zepar's voice sounded behind them, then completely disappeared.
"I'm really glad to see you, but how did you get here?" Reese wondered. "It's a long story," Dr. Taylor replied, "what happened to you?" "It's a long story."
Sarah walked to them, nuzzling Reese. "Heh, thank you, Sarah," Reese said as she turned Sarah into a chibi form. The Saurolophus jumped into Reese's arms and licked her face.
"You have your own dinosaur, that's unfair," Dr. Taylor said. "Anyway, Zoe and the others are in the hospital, waiting for me. Please, don't mention this in front of them, okay?"
Hospital
"Reese hates us both for acting like enemies... So, can we be allies?" Zander asked Zoe, giving her his hand. "No... Friends," Zoe replied, shaking his hand.
Approaching them, Reese couldn't believe her eyes. The reaction of Sue, Max, Rex, and Kyra was the same.
"What are you doing here?" Max asked his parents. Before they could answer, both Zoe and Zander hugged Reese, making her blush. "We're so so sorry we acted like that," they said as one, "please, can you forgive us?" "You know I don't forgive," Reese chuckled, "so, you finally stopped fighting." "Of course, for you," Zoe said. "Anything for you, my angel," Zander replied, "and what about you two?" He looked at his sister and then back at his girlfriend. "Well..." Neither of them wanted him to know.
"You saved me, so," Ursula whispered to Reese. "No enemies," Reese quiet said. Ursula just nodded.
"Tell me, you four, why couldn't this happen from the beginning?" Kyra wondered. "Maybe because of that sibling love you mentioned earlier, Kyra," Sue suggested. "Aww. That's adorable."
"Not again, Kyra." Reese sighed.
"Is that all or did anyone come with you?" Rex asked. "Cruz and the owners are looking for the rest," Dr. Owen replied. "Great... We've got the hell whole crew," Sue commented. "Oh, not more brats," Ursula whispered. "What did I tell you?" Reese asked her. "Grr..."
"What exactly is happening here?" Dr. Taylor wondered. "It's complicated," Max laughed, "it's better to explain it when we'll meet the others." "Agree... I bet... Cruz went to find rather... Dark or Laura..." Reese said, her voice was slowly breaking, she looked much paler.
"Reese? Are you okay?" Aki wondered. "Y-yes... Sure... I just... I..." Reese collapsed into Zander's arms. "Reese!" "I'm fine..."
"Fine, maybe, but you're bleeding," Ursula noticed. "Bleeding?!" They saw it. There was a red spot on the bandage around Reese's head. "Huh...? That... That's nothing..."
"Nothing?" Kyra squeaked, "no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no." "Did you end?" Sue murmured. "No!" Kyra continued, "Ree you can't underrate this, you hit your head. This isn't the first time I see this. I'll gladly patch it for you." "With your shaky hands? No way," Reese disagreed. "I don't think that would be needed, I have a better idea," Zoe said, holding Nature's blessing move card. Reese smiled in relief.
Walking outside, Zoe summoned Paris into a full form. Zander was holding Reese, she closed her eyes and waited. "How can we know it will work and you won't hurt Zander?" Ursula wondered. "Because first, they agreed a few minutes ago to be friends," Sue snapped, "second, Zoe would never risk something like that, especially when it would hurt Reese, and third-" "It worked in the Akuno," Zoe finished, "why wouldn't it work this time?"
She swiped the move card. In the next second, Reese felt much better, the bleeding stopped. Zander wrapped his arms around her shoulders and asked: "How are you?" "Great." Paris came to her and nuzzled her. "Thank you."
Zoe turned her Parasaurolophus into a chibi form, Paris ran to Sarah to play with her.
"Did it at least heal your wounds?" Reese quietly asked Zander. "Yes, it did," he replied and kissed her cheek.
"Aww! Romance just blooms around here," Kyra cheered.
"Did you hear that, my dear Ursula?!" Dr. Owen wondered, "that's a sign we should get together!" He started chasing the Alpha gang member again. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" Ursula ran as fast as she could. "Oh, dad..." Rex sighed and facepalmed in embarrassment.
"Zan, what did I tell you? Not in front of my little sister," Reese reminded. "I don't care." He kissed her again, making her blush. "Aww~ No fair~ I wanna kiss you too~"
"KYRA, NO!"
Alpha gang base
Once the group entered, they heard someone arguing, they didn't expect less. Following the noise, they met the rest of the group.
The twins were fighting. "Oh, hell no..."
"Let me at him!" Alice yelled, Justin was trying to hold her back, but Cole was the one really holding her to not let her kill Nicolas.
"Holy dino, you too?" Cole said as he saw the guardians, he came to them and unfortunately for Nicolas let go of Alice. She was ready to punch him when Rex grabbed her hoodie and stopped her. "That was a close one..." "I'm not going to thank you, you know," Nicolas growled. "I'm not expecting more," Rex replied. Alice slightly blushed.
"How come every time a conflict stops, the other starts here?" Max wondered.
"It's nice to see you alive, guys," Andy admitted, "and in the time you're supposed to be in, not like the last time." "Hey, that wasn't my fault!" Alice snapped. "This time we were 2 months off," Cole said.
"Anyway, what happened that you're here?" Rex asked. "When we found out you went to the future we headed to the D-lab," Sabi started explaining. "Well, since they were trying to contact you, but were unsuccessful, we decided to go after you," Niki continued. "No, I decided," Cruz corrected her, "I told you to stay there. Ronwe had a little bit of her power to get us here."
"I'm hell curious how did you find out," Sue said, glaring at her cousin. "Don't look at me!" Ema snapped, "I didn't tell them." "I'm more curious how come they weren't able to contact us," Dengyo admitted. "We didn't have access to that," Aki remembered. "You should get better in answering for the next time," Dr. Owen told Dr. Taylor. "I guess..."
"No answer there was wrong," Reese said, "I made those questions to know who exactly wants to get to that. There's one for you, Kyra, Justin, Zoe, Max, and Rex." "That's sooo cool!" Kenji said. "What else did you expect?" Justin wondered.
"Hey! Can we go home now?!" Nicolas growled.
"I already asked and they have some reasons why not," Ursula, standing as far away from Dr. Owen as she could, said, she was obviously bored. "No one forces you to be here," Reese told her. "Great..." Ursula headed away. "Why does she still have that bad mood?" Zander wondered, "angel, you're a girl, don't you know what can be wrong with her?" "How can I know what's going through your sister's head, Zan? I don't even know what's my sis thinking."
"Because you are the best and smartest, my angel," he complimented Reese, hugged her shoulders and kissed her.
"Ugh... I'm outta here!" Nicolas walked away as well. "Grr... Idiot."
"Then why can't we go home?" Ema wondered. "Sister does not have enough crystal energy to take us home," Justin explained, "opening the time rift or if you prefer the time warp takes more than 50 % of her energy, more than a crystal move takes. In addition, that whatever it was... It took 30 % of her energy, not only that but-" "Um... Justin?" "Yes, sister?" Justin turned to his sister, Kyra was hugging her tightly, worrying about her.
"Justin, I think you kinda stressed Kyra out," Alice commented.
"Is that all?" Sabi asked. "No..." Dark replied, "the dinosaur cards that were in the Akuno... were stolen again... and taken here..." "There is someone who is still part of the Akuno that got the cards into this time period," Kenji said. "That's at least what we think," Rex joined, "also, all the dinosaurs are much stronger than ever before." "We had to attack twice with a fusion move to take down Feray," Max said.
"And that isn't the real reason why we can't go yet," Zoe mumbled. "What do you mean?" Dr. Taylor wondered. "There's more? What were you doing here without us?!" Andy snapped. "That's what you should ask Little Genius," Sue commented.
Everyone turned to Reese. "...I was here 2 months before the others," she started explaining, "there was no way for me to go back home, so, I stayed with the only people I know here. In short version..." She took Zander's hand, smiling. "Zander and I got together, I went on an operation to heal all of my injuries and now... We're going to have a baby."
"What?!"
"Why does everyone react the same?" she chuckled.
"I knew there was something up," Aki laughed and hugged Reese, "congratulations!" "Uh... Y-yeah... T-too," Dr. Owen nervously said. "Thank you."
Spike just stared at his assistant in disbelief. "Um... Doctor?" He still stared. Then Reese realized it, he knows what that means.
"Yes, I am staying here, no matter what you say," Reese confirmed.
"Are you serious?" Ema wondered. "You can't just stay," Andy said. "Can't it change our future?" Sabi wondered. "I guess you on the other can't go to the present, am I right?" Cruz asked Zander. "There's something I can't leave behind," he replied.
Reese felt like he grabbed her hand tighter, he was talking about Ellie.
"Well, we have no rights to tear true love apart," Niki said, "but I actually thought you'd end up with Kyra, Reese." "Ah, no way!" Cole rolled his eyes.
"Anyway, there's something I need to talk to you, just you, Dr. Taylor, Dr. Owen, Aki, Cruz, and the Alpha gang too if it's possible, Zan."
They all gathered in a different room. Even Rod and Laura wanted to join.
"Forget about that," their grandpa snapped at them. "Why won't you let us?" Rod wondered. "This isn't a talk for kids," Ursula joined. Laura coughed and into her teenage, into her form known as Kami Ike. "I don't know if you've noticed, but we are the oldest in this room," she reminded, "I'm not a kid anymore, I'm 116 years old." "It would be better for them to hear it too," Reese said. "Fine!"
"Then what is it, Reese?"
"...Zepar is still alive..."
