Cora shook her head. "Rupert really did not care for you, did he, Yang." She said looking at the status of Yang's body parts. "Let's see if I cannot fix that."

KL-33N was a sontant bather to her, always talking while she was focused on cleaning the parts. Yet Cora managed to tune him out as she meticulously cleaned each of Yang's parts. Cora spent a lot of time, and a few time plus add ons to clean that leg part. Once she had finished cleaning up Yang's pieces, Cora decided to take a break to prepare herself for what was to come.

What are you waiting for? Cera asked, voicing everyone in the team.

"I'm preparing myself to clean this miraculous fossil rock, I am not good with cleaning brittle fossil rocks." She turned back to the cleaning counter. "Okay, I'm ready."

Cleaning this miraculous rock was a task but Cora managed to clean it without damaging it. KL-33N took the newly clean golden fossil over to the revival machine, Cora followed. She wasn't going to risk loosing a vivosaur like Yang to something foreign like a botched super revival.

"Choose which vivosaur you want to integrate this miraculous fossil with, DEET-DEET." KL-33N said, turning to look at Cora as she stood next to him.

"Yang."

"Are you sure? A super evolver will happen."

"I'm sure, yes I choose Yang to super revive." Cora nodded, trying not to show any axiety about the whole ordeal.

Through the flashing lights and electric spraks, Cora watched the holographic image of Yang transform before her eyes. What Yang had transformed into was something larger, way larger, that a normal Yango. It was red, with an odd blue coloring mostly along a fring of blunt spikes from it's head to it's tail. THere were ten spikes in total, excluding the four large spines coming out of the tail. It resembled a cross between a turtle and a Yango, but it lacked a shell. This Dydomio was made for defense and with good support effects for her own AZ, Cora was pleased.

Am I good now, Yang asked as Cora placed the back in her medal case on her hip.

"You were good to start with, Yang. Now you are called Dydomio. That is unless you wanted to keep Yang as your name." Cora said.

I want to keep my name, Dydomio sounds too male to me.

"All right, now it's time to clean the rest of these rocks. There is that Machai that I want to find, it will be useful in battles because of it's useful support stats." Cora stated as she returned to the cleaning counter.

There was the head, the body and the feet. Machai was a large cat, larger than a modern tiger. Compared to Cora, Machai was a horse to her. Although none of the fossil rocks were brittle, they were oddly shaped so with a few dings in there, the stats for Machai was good.

It's a pleasure to meet you, call me Mach. The large feline said.

Where are you from, Yang asked as Cora went about cleaning the remainder of the rocks in her case.

I'm from America, the cat replied. So, am I going to be used in the main team?

Cora was very adamant about using you, so you'll be in good shape. Cera was more than ready for what was to come.

With all her jewel rocks cleaned, a few sapphires and double pearls, which meant another section of her tools was going to get upgraded soon, Cora headed outside. Her intentions were to get to the Fossil Guild where she can sell her jewels, but as she left the fighter station she sees Dina and Todd coming the Mt. Krakanak path. She was about to turn towards the Guild when she saw something flying towards the city center. It was a Mammoth TV from like from the opening ceremony. Othere were gathered around, expecting something to happen, what Cora didn't know, she had missed out on a lot of what was going on around there.

Joe's image appear on the screen. He was standing in his office in Wldwest Tower, which was located right there in the Fossil Station. Cora knew whatever happened before, when she wasn't around and during the bolder incident, it was bad.

"Howdy, fellow Caliosteo Cup Fighters. Now, ya'll may already know this but...It seems we're being hassled by a band'a thieves called the BareBones Brigade. They're tellin' us we gotta cancel the Caliosteo Cup and vamoose outta this park once and for all. Well horse feathers to that! This here Cup is my dream and I know it's shared by y'all. So if they want me to cancel it, they're gonna have to saddle up and make me! The Caliosteo Cup will never surrender! We'll beat them varmints, or my name ain't Joe Wildwest!"

People all around Cora were cheering, agreeing with everything Joe had said. Cora could even hear Todd from nearby acting all kinds of weird. As the Mammoth TV flew off she rolled her eyes before heading towards the Fossil Guild.

Who do you think will be your opponent in the next round of battles? Yang asked as Cora entered the Guild.

"Like I care at the moment."

Cora had upgraded her Tools, opting to get a bigger fossil rock case and got the last fossil chip installed into her sonar. She even had enough to expand her sonar screen. This would make finding all the pieces for Cera, Aeros and even Raja back in Treasure Lake easier. When it came time to prepare for the next round she opted to switch out some of her team, trading out a several for some others. She kept Raja, Yang and Cera but she switched in Mach and with the Lambeo Tank that her brother gave her in the last winning round gifts she got.

Will we be strong enough? Tank asked as e and Raja were in the reserve spots in the main team medal case.

I think so, Yang answered from her support placement with Mach, and Cera in the attack spot.

An FMS messafe sound from Cora's paleopager on her hip. "I'm going to have to fiz my tablet, I miss it already."

Cora's opponent was a girl, a teenager like Dina. Lily smiled at Cora in greeting as they met up in the common room. The girl was wearing a FossilDig Inc shirt that matched her black shorts with a matching pair of black boots to round out the outfit. She was also a blonde, like an ash blonde in coloring.

"Can't wait, huh?" Lily asked as the previous fighters in the match before them walked by, which Pauleen was a winner.

Glancing at the mask wearing, pink haired girl that had sauntered by, Cora spoke, "I just want to get this day over with. Tomorrow is another day." She responded.

Cora and Lily's match was announced for the audience. The doors slid open to reveal the Cranial Isle Stadium floor. Lily took her place at the opposite end of the field as Cora took her place on the field as well.

"All right, boys, let's go!" Lily yelled, throwing out her three chosen dino medals.

The three fire type vivosaurs made Cora worried. The Sungari was in the back support position, a Berto and a Machai were in the two attack spots. With her lone Cera in the front attack spot, Cora put Yang and Mach in the back support zones.

"Dang it, she has the speed advantage." Cora spoke, forming fists at her side. "Cera, when it's our turn, focus on the Sungari."

Got it, the lone water type replied.

"Alright, Sungari, do Sungari Beam on her Machai!" Lily called to the flying vivosaur.

Not too much damage was done. Mach shook off the attack, trying to stay in the game. Since Lily didn't have enough FP left for another attack it was now Cora's turn.

"Cera, Running Smash on Lily's Sungari!"

Flying types are usually weak, this one was no different. Cera managed to land a critical hit, taking out the Sungari instantly. That just left Berto and Machi in Lily's team. It also left Cora without enough FB to have a second attack.

"Okay, you can do it. Berto, Machai, Cambrian formation, Berto in the AZ." Lily commanded her two remaining vivosaurs.

Cera isn't a close combat fighter, Tank spoke up.

"She's a water type, so she won't be too terribly damaged if Berto attacks her. That puts the Machai in her range of attack, giving us the advantage." Cora replied, eyes focused on the match in front of her.

From his spot in the common room, Alex watched the younger girl. No emotion besides determination showed on her face. The teen knew she was good, that this was nothing to her. But she wasn't happy, she wasn't smiling, not like her first battle. He had seen her the first battle. She wasn't into the match on a whole, she was just going through the motions. Even if she was winning, she wasn't happy about something.

When are you going to talk to her? Plato asked, breaking into Alex's thoughts.

"After her match. Look, se just took out her opponent's Machai."

The crowd was thrilled. The little girl was owning the field, until the Berto took out her Machai leaving just Yang and Cera. Cera was at three-fourths full HP, no one tried taking on Yang the Dydomio. Now here was her chance to stun the audience even more.

"Cera, Yang, move to the SZ spots in the Jurassic formation. Leave the AZ empty." Cora called out onto the field.

"You don't have anything to attack Berto now." Lily yelled from her side of the field.

"I can attack from the SZ!" Cora yelled in return to her opponent. "Cera, do Tricera Combo on the Berto, finish this off!"

Finish it off she did. Cera charged the large meat eater, striking it twice. Berto stumbled back before glowing and turning back into its dino medal form. The entire stadium erupted in cheers from the audience. Cora just won her Round Three match, giving her a chance to win the Cup for sure now. The mere thought made the copper haired girl smile as she walked off the field once she had reclaimed her dino medals.

"That was a great match. Congratulations on winning." Lily said, once they were back in the common room.

"Thanks, you weren't half bad either. I have to go, so...bye." Cora said, not sure of what to say to the older kid.

"Yeah, I want to go get soemthing to eat. You should, too."

"I will, thanks." Cora smiled before heading towards the doors that would lead into the lobby.

Are you okay, Cera asked, knowing that her fighter wasn't acting as she had been.

"I don't know. Nothing feels right anymore."

"Cora!"

She twisted around so fast that Cora nearly fell over. It was Alex, he was there and there was no reason.

This can't be good, Yang said as the tall teen approached.

I know, I haven't updated in a while. Honestly, I sort of lost interest in this story, stuck on where to go with the story. Hopefully I can come up with a better part next. I'm not sure if I like how the story is structured so far.
