A/N: SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SORRY it took me so long to update! You see, school's been getting in the way, I didn't know where to end this chapter, and I've becobe obssesed with Pokemon Ranger: Guardian Signs for the third time. So, without any more delay, here's chapter 11!

Disclaimer: I don't own Fossil Fighters Champions.


Chapter 11: The BB Brigade's Final Plan

The next day I went over to the Fossil Guild to buy the final upgrade for my sonar, which was another Foossil Chip. It took a little bit because the shopkeeper wanted to thank me for the Bonehemoth thing. And once she was done with that, she started to complain about how we had to be thrown up to get out.

After I finally got my Fossil Chip, I headed out to get the final fossils for my vivosaurs. Cera became rank 9 while I was digging, and she then became rank 11 from the new fossil. Tro also became rank 11. Typhoon and Anubis became rank 10, and Bert became rank 9. I found a Wondourus Fossil Rock while I was out, and used it on Bert. Where he was origanally purple he became a redish purple0brown color, and his eyes and underbelly became pink.

How come you haven't used a rock on me yet? Anubis asks.

Because, if I did that it would get rid of why I named you Anubis. To make it up to you, if I ever find a fourth Miraculous fossil rock, I'll use it on you. I say.

Ok. But why only when/if you get a fourth?

Because, I've looked it up, and Tro, whose already evolved, Cera, and Typhoon can super evolve.

Oh. Okay.

I then head back out to Icegrip Plateau, since I didn't really get the chance earlier. While I was there, I found a MIraculous fossil rock, and immediatly headed back to the Fossil Station to clean it, but ran into Robinson on the way.

"Hi Robinson." I say as he walks up.

"Well, scale m'fins and and fillet m'belly!" He says. "It's the Fighter that knocked out Lord Tonzilla! I was hopin' the waves would cross our paths again. Got somethin' to tell you, see? I've decided to go back to the Bonehemoth."

"What?!" I ask.

"I s'pose I should be grateful for m'freedom, but I just can't get used to life on land." He says. "Guess me and Balliver are just meant for darkness and fish guts."

"But what if you get tired of it?" I ask. "What if you want to come back?"

"Oh, don't you go worryin' about me." He says. "I done figured out a way to get back whenever I want! I tricked the Bonehemoth into swallowin' one'a them fancy Teleport Tunnels. Now folks can come'n go from the Bonehemoth as they please." He points toward a path. "Just head to the end of that there path and you'll find it. Make sure y'come and visit, now! It won't be the same without ya! Whelp, good day! And may the fish always be bitin'!" He leaves.

I then get a FMS message that says: "The Caliosteo Cup semifinal matches will now begin. Pauleen has been selected as Dina's semifinal opponent. Please prepare, then check in at Iliums Village's Fossil Stadium."

So... I'll be fighting Pauleen... I think.

IT'S SO SAD! Tro says.

I head to the Cleaning Room before the match and clean the Miraculous fossil rock. I use it on Cera, making her evolve onto a Heracles.

I go in and find Pauleen waiting for me.

"Digadig! There you are Dina." She says as I walk up. "This is going to be my first battle in front of people without a mask. But that's okay, diga. Your faith in me has made me brave." She puts her hands on her hips. "It doesn't matter how many people are watching, digadig. I'm not going to be intimidated!"

"Okay." I say. "Good to hear."

Pauleen puts her fist in the air after we get called on. "I will prove to the world that I am reborn, digadig!"

Pauleen has a Pleasio, which is, well, a blue Plesiosaurus, a Synthos, which looks like a deer, and an Omias, which looks kinda like a unicorn, it's mainly white with a pink stripe down it's back.

I put in, Tro, Cera, and Anubis.

Pauleen has higher speed so she goes first. Her team slips so Omias is in the SZ by itself. She has her Plesio use Plesio Poison on Tro, doing 37 damage. She also has her Synthos use Synthos Strike on Anubis, doing 14 damage.

My team slips to where Tro is in the AZ. "Tro, Lugmos Tail on Synthos!" He does, doing 269 damage, defeating it.

Pauleen's team slips to where her Plesio is in the SZ. She has her Plesio use Poisonous Assault on Tro, which hits. She also has her Omias use Omias X on Tro, doing 41 damage.

My team slips to where Anubis is in the SZ. "Cera, Heracles Blade on Omias!" She does, doing 134 damage.

Pauleen's team slips to where both her vivosaurs are in the AZ. And she skips.

My team slips so Anubis is in the AZ. "Ok, Anubis, Krypto Combo on Plesio!" He does, doing 72 damage. And Tro takes 86 damage from poison.

Pauleen's team slips so her Omias is in the AZ. She has her Plesio use Poisonous Assault on Tro, which hits. She also has her Omiasuse Omias X on Aubis, which does 18 damage.

My team slips so Tro is in the SZ. "Anubis, AZ by yourself and use Krypto Fang on Plesio!" He does and does 58 damage, defeating it. "Ok, and Cera, Heracles Blade on Omias!" She does, doing 131 damage. Tro also takes 98 poison damage.

Pauleen's team slips so her Omias is in the far back SZ. She has it use Omias Dos on Anubis, doing 83 damage, and scares him.

My team slips so Anubis is in the SZ. "Ok, Cera AZ by yourself and use Heracles Blade!" She does, and does a critical 127 damage, defeating it.

Tro becomes rank 12, Anubis and Typhoon become rank 11, and Bert becomes rank 10.

"I lost the Fossil Battle, digadig. ...But I didn't lose to myself." Pauleen says after we go out to the lobby and before putting her hands on her hips. "All those people were watching me, but I never got nervous and flustered! Not once! And best of all, my face diga-didn't turn red. This is a pretty special day for me..." She walks over and grabs my hands. "Thank you, Dina. Thank you for everything. I'm looking foward to seeing you in the final, digadig."

"Thanks." I say. "I had fun."

Ok, I'm about to do something evil. I tell my vivosaurs.

What? Bert asks.

You'll see. I say.

"Hey, Pauleen, may I tell you something?" I ask.

"Sure."

"Todd has a HUGE crush on you."

Pauleen just stands there, staring at me for a second.

"Y-y-you mean it?" She asks.

"Yep."

"That's good..." She whispers.

"What?"

She turns red when she finds out I heard that.

"Daaah! Why am I turning red NOW, digadig?!" She says, letting go of my hands and taking a step back.

OMG SHE HAS A CRUSH ON TODD! All my vivosaurs say.

Apparently. That was fun. I think happily.

"Oh, wow. It's Pauleen!" A boy says as he and another boy walk up. "You became my favorite Fighter the moment you took off that mask!"

"...I LOVE YOU!" The other boy says. I try not to burst out laughing the second he says that. "Um... I mean... Maybe we can be friends or something. Heh."

"Uh... Um... I can't deal with this right now, digadig!" Pauleen says before running iff.

"Waaaaaaaaait! Pauleeeeeeeeeen!" The first boy says.

"I'm sorry!" The second boy says. "Am I moving too fast?!"

He and the other boy walk off. The crowd starts going crazy.

Wow. That was fast. Cera says.

Yep. And it looks like I'm about to find out who my final opponent is. I hope it's Rupert. I think before Rupert comes out and walks over.

"I won." He says. "So I guess that means we'll be facing each other in the final. Good luck, Dina. I'm looking foward to it."

"Me too." I say. "You bette make it a good battle."

"Don't worry. I will." Rupert says before he leaves.

"Nice work, little dude." Kent says as he walks up. "That was some epic ownage you dealt out there. Anyway, here's a prize for winning your semifinal match." He hands me some icons, which are what represents a Fighter in a battle. "Just one more match to go! I know you'll totally shred it, dude. I have faith." He leaves.

"Hey, Dina!" Todd yells as he walks up.

"Todd? I thought you had a cold. How are you here?" I ask him.

"If I missed your semifinal battle, I'd never forgive myself." He explains. "So I used my willpower to beat that cold! Yeah, what now cold?! Hah! Yeah, so I heard about how you went into the Bonehemoth's belly and fought Pauleen's mask. It's just crazy!"

"Yep." I say. "Did you hear about me getting thrown up by the Bonehemoth?"

"Yeah. That's gross." He says.

"At least you weren't one of the ones being thrown up."

"Good point. Anyway, you're a world class Fighter now! And I guess you'll be facing Rupert in the final, huh?"

"Yep."

He puts his fist in the air. "Well, don't worry. you're my best friend and I'll cheer you on with eerything I've got!"

"Thanks."

"Okay, I'm gonna go dig up a ton of fossil rocks and kame up for lost time."

"Okay, but before you go, I need to tell you something."

"Yeah?"

"I told Pauleen you have a crush on her."

"You did WHAT?!"

"I told Pauleen you have a crush on her. By the way, she has a crush on you."

"S-she does?"

"Yep."

"W-well then. I-I should go now. See ya." He leaves.

Wow. It'd be so cool if I can get Todd and Pauleen together. I think.

Yeah. Then they can get you and Rupert together. Bert says.

Be quiet. I think., which causes him to laugh.

I then get an FMS message that says: "A new did site is open: Dusty Dunes! Dusty Dunes is a desert dig site scorched by the glare of the tropical sun. You are urged to travel there and prepare for the final."

I head for Cranial City, and go to Dusty Dunes.


BB Brigade Base

-Lola's POV-

Cole, Lester and I were standing in Don B's office. Cole and Lester were, like, terrified, and I was explaining what happened.

"Sooooo, Operation Lights Out was kind of a bummer, huh?" I say.

"...THAT'S YOUR EXPLANATION?! IT WAS A 'BUMMER'?!" Don B. yells, making the room shake. And by that point, I'm, like, reaaaally surprised Cole and Lester haven't passed out from fear yet.

"Idiots!" Don B. continues. "Perhaps you're not aware that the Caliosteo Cup final is about to take place! I wanted Fighters slinkin away in disgrace, not sticking around and building excitment!" He looks away. "No bones about it... It seems I must take matters into my own hands. There is but one course of action left to me now, though I did not wish to take it... Well, no matter. My plan is all that can save us now."

"Um..." Cole says. "I'm not sure I like the thought of a plan even Don Boneyard finds unappealing."

"That's not cool, man. It sounds bad. Liiiike, bad bad, you know?" I say.

"GET YOUR TIBIAS IN GEAR FOOLS!" Don B. says, turning back to us. "...And understand this. Dissent or failure on your part will be dealt with most harshly." We, like, take a step closer. "It's time to bury the Caliosteo Fossil Park once and for all!" He then starts, like, laughing like crazy.


Dusty Dunes

-Normal POV-

When I get to Dusty Dunes, I see Prof. Scatterly further in, lying down. I run over to him.

"Good heavens." He says. "It seems I've bungled things up well and good this time! I meant to bring my water bottle, you see, but instead I grabbed a flyswatter! That will do me no good in this heat! Oh dear me, no..."

Seriously? Now I get why his name's Prof. Scatterly. I think. All my vivosaurs laugh.

"My legs are weak..." Prof. Scatterly says. "My eyes grow dim... My mustache withers... Yes, it seems death stalks me once more old bean. I need... W-water...Urgh... Tell science... I love her."

Science is a girl? Typhoon asks.

No. People just say that for some reason. Anubis says.

Oh. Typhoon says.

I bend down, and give Prof. Needs To Stop Forgetting Things some water.

"W-water! It's water!" He says after taking a sip. He drinks almost the rest of it, then jumps several feet in the air again. "I say, but that hit the spot! Thank you for pulling me back from the jaws of oblivion, eh wot? What's this then? ...You're Dina! Oh, it seems you have rescued me yet again, old chum. Well, you can trust that I'll not forget my water in such a place again."

"Okay." I say, not really believing him. "So, what are you doing here anyway?"

"...Eh? You want to know why I'm here?" Prof. Scatterly asks.

"Didn't I just ask that?"

"Why, looking for a Calio Slablet, of course! My sinar detected one of the fair beasties nearby, so I grabbed my shovel and made to dig. Er, but the soil is quite loose here, you see? So as quickly as I dig, it fills in my hole. I've buckled my garter trying to think of a solution, but alas! ...I have nothing. Say now! I heard you battled your way to the Cup final, yes?"

"Yeah..."

"Then I wager excavating here at Dusty Dunes should be little trouble for one of your caliber! According tomy sonar, the Calio Slablet should be just in front of me. I say, do your thing!"

I fo to where he says it is, and dig up the Slablet. I walk back over to him, and hand him the Slablet.

"Exclesior! That's Calio Slablet #4! Now we'll learn what happened to Zongazonga and the bodies that he seized! We'll finally know what happenend to the ancient Kingdom of Caliosteo! Well then! Let us decipher..." Prof. Scatterly says. He looks at it for a moment, and starts reading:

"The people finally rose up as one against Zoongazonga's reign of terror. Though the struggle was long and difficult, they ultimately succeeded in defeating Zongazonga. Th prevent him from ever sstealing a body again, his skull was sealed away in a stone chest. They then constructed the giant Stone Pyramid and locked the chest deep inside."

"Fascinating!" Prof. Scatterly says when he was done reading. "So Zongazonga was overthrown by his own people, eh? It does this old man good to see people taking it to a despot! Hmm... And then this bit about sealing his skull inside the 'Stone Pyramid.' Quite odd, that. I don't know what it is, but my scientific curiosity is quite piqued! Well then, now that I have all four Slablets, I suppose I should search out this Stone Pyramid place! Tallyhoooooooooo!" He picks up the Slablet and leaves.

I dig some more before heading back to Cranial City. When I got there, there was this huge earthquake.

"Eeeek! What's happening?!" Someone asked.

"It's an e-e-earthquake!" Someone else yelled.

The Mammoth Vision flew over, and Don Boneyard appeared on the screen He laughs.

"Behold, mortals!" He says. "I have returnrd! But not to worry. I only came to wish you all farewell... For you see, your pathetic Caliosteo Fossil Park is about to sink beneath the waves! All three islands will be swept away like grains on sand on the shore. So unless you're an exceptional swimmer, I would suggest fleeing for your life right... about... NOW! Oh, this just tickles my funny bone!" He starts lasughing again before the Mammoth Vision leaves.

HE'S INSANE! I think.

We are going to DIE! Tro yells.

Is it just me or did he sound less evil? Anubis asks.

What are you talking about? Cera asks.

What I mean is that he didn't sound to happy. He sounded... different. I don't know how to explain. Anubis says.

I see what you mean. Bert says.

You do?! Tro, Cera, Typhoon, Cera and I ask.

Yep. Bert says.

Our conversastion was interrupted when Pauleen came running over.

"D-did you see that, digadig?" She asks. "He said he's going to sink the islands! And right before that, there was an earthquake! I think he's serious, diga! I won't just stand around and let that skeleton ruin everything, diga! Let's go see Joe!"

"Alright." I say.

Pauleen and I run up to Joe's suite, and see Todd and Rupert already there.

"Rupert! Todd! You're here, digadig!" Pauleen says.

"Of course I'm here!" Todd says, turning around to look at us. "I came as soon as that stupid skeleton finished talking!"

"I figured this was a job for the Caliosteo Patrol Team, so I came right away." Rupert says, also turning around.

Pauleen and I walked up to Joe.

"I'm glad y'all feel that way, 'cause we're in a whole heap'a trouble right about now." Joe says.

"Is Don Boneyard telling the truth, digadig? Can he really sink these islands?" Pauleen asks.

"Ya got me there little lady." Joe says. "I'm afraid I don't know much 'bout that kind of thing. I asked one'a the local eggheads to ride by and help us out. Figured he would'a been here by now..."

Prof. Scatterly comes up in the elevator.

Of course. That's why the person Joe was talking about was late. I think.

"Ho! Pardon me for being so late! I had the most fascinating lunch, you see, and so..." Prof. Scatterly says. "Good heavens! It's Dina! I seem to run into whereever I go, eh wot?"

"Sorry to rush ya, doc, but we need ya to tell us what's goin' on with these here islands." Joe says.

"Hmm?" Prof. Scatterly says as he walks over. "Oh, yes, of course. Quite. Well then... I would deduce that the recent quake is a result of the Spinal Pillar being weakend."

"The... Spinal Pillar...?" I ask, confused.

"The Spinal Pillar, you see, is a massive structure that supports the Caliosteo Islands." Prof. Scatterly explains. "Theoretically, if someone were to chip away at this pillar, it would eventually snap in two. And this, of course, would ssend the islands plunging into the sea. ...All quite terrible, yes?"

"That's low, even for the BB Brigade." Todd says. "We can't let them get away with it!"

"We must stop them from eroding the Spinal Pillar further." Rupert says.

"Er, yes." Prof. Scatterly says. "Well, you see, I fear that stopping further erosion will not be sufficient. There's already been too much damage to the Spinal Pillarr, wot wot? We have to to find a way to reinforce it and repair the damage."

"And just how are we gonna do that?!" Joe asks.

"With calcium, my good man!" Prof. Scatterly says. "The Spinal Pillar is composed of an extremely hard type of an extremely hard type of calcium, you see? If we were to inject a similar substance into the pillar, it should be enough to save the islands! However, there's only one thing that contains the type of calcium we need... The prehistoric fish, Sardinisaurus! Yes, quite. Therefore, we have to find a Sardinisaurus fossil rock, and right quickly at that!"

"I reckon we can find Sardinisaurus fossil rocks deep inside the Petrified Woods." Joe says. "It's a dig site over on Ribular Island. We'd closed it for maintenance, but I'll open 'er up right now. Lemme see yer sonar there, Dina."

I hand him my sonar, and he does something to it.

"...Right." Joe says once he's done. "I done fiddled with yer sonar so it'll pick up Sardinisaurus fossil rocks. There's no time to waste! Get over to the Petrified Woods and find one'a them fossil rocks!"

"Okay." I say.

"Rupert? Pauleen? Todd? I got another job for y'all." Joe says. "Folks are in a right panic out there, and I'd like ya to help calm 'em down. The last thing we need's a buncha scared folks stampeding around!"

"Understood." Rupert says. "Come on, you two. Let's go."

"Digadig!" Pauleen says.

"You got it!" Todd says. We all leave.

I head towards Petrified Woods. I find the fossil at the top of the huge petrified tree thing, and become Fighter Rank 9. Then I head back to Joe's suite.

When I get there, Joe, Pauleen, Todd, and Rupert were waiting for me.

"Well, look who's back!" Joe says when he sees me. "And with a bit of treasure to boot!"

"Yep. Here you go." I say as I hand him the fossil.

"Well there, little pard, I reckon it's time to squeeze the calcium outta ya. Let's get a move on, shall we?" Joe says before he leaves to get the calcium out of the fossil. A few minutes later he comes back.

"All right then, pards." Joe says. He holds up something that looks like those things doctors use to give you shots. "This here's the Calcium Injector. Accordin' to the professor, we gotta drive this into the Spinal Pillar at the seafloor. I got Stella standin' by with a sub, so y'all go down there and..." He gets interrupted by a call. "...Oh, howdy, Stella. What's wrong?" He stops for a second. "WHAT?! Somebody wrecked the sub's engine?! Possum spit! Them dang BB Brigade boys are one step ahead'a us!"

Doesn't he mean BB Brigade boys and girl? I ask. my vivosaurs.

I don't know. But, what are we gonna do? Anubis asks.

"The Bonehemoth!" I answer out loud, which causes everyone to look at me oddly.

"Um... what?" Todd asks.

"I mean we can use the Bonehemoth to get to the Spinal Pillar." I say.

"Oh, hey!" Pauleen says. "That's a great idea, digadig! We can just use the Bonehemoth!"

"...Yes, of course! The Bonehemoth would be able to get to the seafloor with ease." Rupert says. "Of course, it might not be quite that simple. Perhaps we should ask Robinson for advice."

"Well, heck!" Joe says. "I can't believe how quick y'all are on your feet. Can't say I understamd your plan fully, but if y'all think it'll work, then I'm for it. Just get down to the seafloor and inject this calcium into the Spinal Pillar!" He walks over and gives me the injector. "Good luck, pards. I don't need to tell ya what heppens if ya fail."

"I'm going to get ready." Rupert says.

"Okay! Whenever you're ready, we'll meet at the Bonehemoth, digadig." Pauleen says.

We all leave and go get ready. Once I'm done, I head toward the path Robinson said leads to the teleporter that leads to the Bonehemoth. When I get there, everyone is waiting for me.

"The gangs all here, digadig! I guess it's back to fish-gut city for us." Pauleen says before we head into the Bonehemoth.

We go further in, and find Robinson.

"Well, shake m'fins and call me Flappy!" He says when he sees us. "What brings you landlubbers back here so soon?"

"We need to get to the Spinal Pillar." I explain.

"...The Spinal Pillar? You mean that big ol' thing holding up the islands?" Robinson asks.

"Yes we need the Bonehemoth to take us there right away." Rupert says. "Is that possible?"

"Can't say I've ever done it, but I suppose it can't hurt to try." Roobinson says before walking over to a part of the wall of the Bonehemoth's... wherever we are right now. "Now if we tickle this here spot, the whale dives deeper. Lemme give it a try." He picks up his fishing pole and starts to tickle the Bonehemoth, who starts to dive down. "That Spinal Pillar is a ways down, so we gotta dive this beastie a bit deeper than usual." He looks at Todd. "You there! Greenie!"

"...Huh? Me?" Todd asks.

"Yep, you, son!" Robinson says. "Get over here and help me tickle this here whale." Todd jumps up.

"Sweet!" He says. "I'm good at tickling!" He goes over and starts to tickle the whale.

"Now, listen up." Robinson says. "Beneath each one'a these island is a cave that'll take you to the Spinal Pillar. Seein' how we got three islands here, where do you want to go?"

"Hmm... I suppose it makes sense to split up." Rupert says. "Todd needs to stay here and help Robinson with the Bonehemoth, so... I'll take Cranial Isle, Pauleen can take Ilium Island, and Dina will go to Ribular Island."

"Got it." Pauleen and I say at the same time.

A few minutes later, the Bonehemoth stops.

"Righto!" Robinson says. "We're resting right outside Ilium Island's seabed cavern."

"I guess this is my stop, digadig." Pauleen says. "But...um...how do I get out? I don't want to fight Lord Tonzilla again if I diga-don't have to."

"Not to worry, little miss." Robinson says. "You don't have to fight the Lord no more. Turns out the Bonehemoth opens his mouth whenever you give Lord Tonzilla a little tickle. ...Welp? Whatcha waitin' for? Get going!"

"Wish me luck, digadig!" Pauleen says before she leaves.

A little while later, and after Rupert leaves, we arrive at the cavern under Ribular Island.

"This here's the seabed cavern 'neath Ribular Island." Robinson says. "Once you're out, just walk foward until you run into the Spinal Pillar."

"Okay. Thanks." I say.

"Rupert and Pauleen should be close by now." Todd says. "I'll stay here and tickle the Bonehemoth so it stays calm. Good luck!"

"Thanks Todd." I say before heading toward the Seabed Cavern.


A/N: Here's chapter 11. So, I put a little ToddXPauleen in this chapter. I hope that makes up for the long wait. Also, I just want to say this, but, LOLA'S POV WAS REALLY STIKIN' HARD TO WRITE! I made her think as little as possible because of that. Anyway I have 4 questions.

1: Does anyone else notice I'm the only one who's written/writting a FFC story and has had the BB Brigade behind-the-scenes thing written in their POVs?

2: Do you like how I'm doing those things in their POVs? If you don't get what I mean, I'm talking about the BB Brigade things.

3: Does anyone wonder how many Spinal Pillars there are? Because, in the game they act like there's only one. But, how come Rupert and Pauleen aren't there by the time you get there? Also, there's no way Don Boneyard would let Cole handle a mission like this. Also, if Rupert and Pauleen hadn't gotten there yet, shouldn't Lester and Lola also be there? 'Cause, like I said, there's no way Don Boneyard would let Cole handle this on his own.

4: How come there isn't a sardinisaurus vivosaur? I mean, Joe said you could find Sardinisaurus fossil rockS at Petrified Woods, but, you don't get to find more or revive one.

Anyway, 'cause I don't feel like writing all this down, thanks to the people who reviewed. Also, I can mainly only work on weekends now, so it may be a little bit 'til I get next chapter up. But I'll try to get it up next week. Also, review.
