Me: Hey guys, I'm back early for Ch. 12. Reason is I got a good idea once I uploaded Ch. 11 and had time on my hands to write and finish the next chapter. Let's go!
Disclaimer: Don't own Dinosaur King.
Within a dense jungle, the D-Team had just finished teleporting. "Here we are, Zeta Point. Oh, how I hardly miss this place." Zander said.
Zoe gazed at the surroundings and found something of use. "Hey you guys." She points over to a pipe, "I think that's the same pipe we used to get inside." The group heads for the pipe which was taped back into place. "Guess the others got lazy fixing the island?" Max wonders.
"Oh believe me, on Dr. Z's budget we could barely afford food." Zander sighed, "But that's something I can explain later, Dr. Taylor help me remove this pipe piece." With their combined strength, Dr. Taylor and Zander are able to lift the pipe and move be it out of the way.
"Oh man, this thing weighs a ton!" Dr. Taylor complains.
"Well we can drop it here." The two drop the piece and everyone looks down the hole. "I'll go first." Zander said before jumping into the hole. "I'll go next." Dr. Taylor hops on in, and then came Max, after him was Rex, then Zoe, and lastly the dinosaurs.
First was Chomp, "Yap yap (Woo hoo)!"
Next was Ace, "Growl (Cannonball)!"
Then Paris, "Roooar (Here we go)!"
Lastly Smokey, "Growl (Watch out below)!"
On their way down the pipes, the D-Team were going down different turns. "I don't remember heading down like this last time." Max said. "They must of redid the piping." Zander replies deadpan before seeing some light, "Brace yourselves!"
In the living room, Rod and Laura were just playing catch with Spiny and Tank. "Go get it you two." Laura threw the ball as the chibi dinosaurs ran off after the ball. All of a sudden they all hear something unusual.
"What is that Rod?" Laura asks her brother. Rod replies, "I don't know. But I think it's coming from…" The two look up at the ceiling at one of the vent.
The D-Team burst through the vent and crash landed on the floor. Rod and Laura wince as they land.
The chibi dinosaurs open their eyes. "Growl (Hey, we're okay)." But underneath them all, the rest of the D-Team were dog piled on top of one another with Zander on the bottom. "I'll be feeling this in the morning." He groaned. Everyone got up off the ground and dusted themselves.
Spiny was overjoyed to see Zander. "Rawr (Zander)!" Spiny roared as he ran up and jumped in front of Zander. He picks up Spiny and hugs him tightly while being licked. "Oh, I'm missed you too Spiny."
Rod and Laura were surprised to see Zander once again. "Zander!" They cheer while giving their uncle a hug. "What are you doing here Zander?" Rod asks, "You told me you were never coming back to Zeta Point." Zander's smile turned into a bitter frown. "Well, when Seth captured your aunt and brings her here you might as well want to save her." He explains. "Seth captured aunt Reese?!" Rod gasped as well as Laura.
Then enters Ursula and Ed. "Ed I've told you over and over again, I don't want to talk about…" Ursula stops arguing as she noticed her enemies.
"Um...Ursula?" She didn't answer to Ed, but instead turns his head for him. Now Ed knew why she went silent. He tries to greet his brother, "Oh, hey Zan-"
But Ursula shuts him up by slapping him upside the head. "Quiet, Ed!" She scolds, "You! Why are you back Zander?!" Zander shook his head, he didn't want to deal with Ursula right now. He simply tells his sister, "Seth stole Reese, so I'm here to take her back."
As usual, Ursula is stubborn as always, "Oh please Zander, you're better off without that wannabe of a doctor you call a wife." Zander's blood was really boiling now, but Zoe beats him to speaking first. "Listen good, old lady!" She snaps at Ursula, "No one calls my sister a wannabe, and we aren't leaving without Reese!" Ursula's eye twitched after Zoe called her an old lady. She then grabs Zoe by the collar of her shirt and scolds her, "CALL ME OLD ONCE MORE BRAT AND I'LL-"
"Will you give it a rest already!"
Ursula and Zoe look to Zander as he separates the two before anymore could be said or done between them. "Ursula I'm not wanting to start up a fight, but I'll do so if you keep on acting like the world owes you a favor. Right now all I ask of you is to just listen to what I have to say. I'm going to find Reese and take her away from this island for good...but not without giving you and Ed one final decision." Everyone was dumbfounded, what was Zander talking about? But he continues, "Ursula, Ed, ever since Dr. Z adopted us from the orphanage we've all held a strong bond with one another. But recently we've been growing more distant from each other after my decision to be with Reese and leave the Alpha Gang, and I'll be honest I don't want to lose the siblings I grew up with. Come with us you two, we can leave and be the sibling we once were. We don't have to worry about Dr. Z or his crazy experiments, we can lives the lives we want to without living in fear anymore. What do you two say?"
Ed gives in easily, "I'm in, and I'll be honest Zander I really am happy for you and Reese with the new baby." Ed walks away from Ursula and stands near Zander. As for Ursula… "I'm still not in. Besides, there's no way in hell I'm letting you get away this time!" Zander grunts in irritation for he has had it with Ursula's attitude, and just like siblings they argue.
"How come you're never happy with anything I do?!"
"Because you're a traitor, that's why!"
"I can't even believe you sometimes Ursula! I mean really, what's your problem?"
"Stuff it Zander! Go away and never talk to me, AGAIN!"
"JUST TELL ME WHY YOU'RE SO MAD?!"
"BECAUSE I WANTED TO BE THE ONE WITH A CHILD FIRST!"
"Huh?" Zander was confused. As Ursula turns her back to him in a huff, Zander began to process the situation he had now gotten into. He's never seen Ursula this stubborn or even reach this level of angry before. Then, it hits him…
"Ursula, are you...jealous of me?"
Ursula doesn't look back at her brother as she grunts once more. Never would Zander think that Ursula would be jealous of him, but he does feel sympathy for Ursula. He tries to talk to her, "Ursula, I never meant to-"
"Just go away." Zander got the point now, she wants to be alone. "Alright, I see how it is. But know this Ursula, I'm no longer your brother." He said. Ursula slightly cringed, that was mean even for Zander.
Zander turns to Rod and Laura and asks, "Rod, Laura? Will you help?" Rod and Laura looked to each other before giving an answer.
They simultaneously reply, "We're in."
Zander nods, "Alrighty then, let's head out." The D-Team and the ex-members head down one of the halls to find Reese. Ursula looks back and watched the group hurry off. Her mood slowly turns into one of sadness, she feeling sad but couldn't figure out why. Ursula then walks off ll alone.
In the Kitchen, Helga was preparing a meal for everyone when she could hears familiar voices.
"Reese? Reese, where are you my angel?!"
"Zander, keep it down. We don't want to draw any attention."
She recognizes one of the voices, Zander. She stops what she was doing and looks into the hall to see everyone searching for Reese. "Zander?" She said causing everyone to look at her. The D-Team took a step back since they don't completely trust Helga after last time. "Helga, it's so good to see you once again." Zander said.
"Zander, vhat are you doing here? I zought you left to be wiz your woman?" Helga asks. Zander tells her, "Seth took Reese hostage and brought her back here. By any chance have you seen her or anything suspicious around here today?"
Helga nods, "You're in luck, Zander. I happen to ov zaw zome driodz lock zomething in your old room. I believe ze room's unguarded for now, now iz a good time to check."
"Helga, why don't you come with us?" Zander offered, "You don't have to spend day and night on the island." As nice as it sounded, Helga declines the offer, "I zorry Zander, but my prime directive iz to stay here. But I'm zure ze ozerz will go vith you." Helga notices Ed, Rod, and Laura. "Iv you need me, you know vere to vind me."
"Very well, thank you once again Helga." Zander hugs Helga, then does Ed, and lastly Rod and Laura. "Okay so now we know where Reese may be held." Max said. Zoe points out to him, "But we don't know where the room is, everything almost looks identical."
"Don't worry Zoe." Rod reassures, "Zander's room is not that far from the kitchen."
"Yeah, let's go!" Laura cheers.
"Destroy your target!"
Seth was looking down in the battlefield where a dinosaur was practicing one of its move cards. But this dinosaur was different, it was one of Dr. Z's secret element dinosaurs. It was big, gray, and has lots of sharp teeth.
It was a Megalosaurus, and it was demolishing the dinosaur dummy. "Impressive results." Seth jots down the data, "Now let's see what the armor will do. Armor up!"
Megalosaurus began to glow as plates of metal armor and spikes formed around his body, a few spikes formed on the side of its face. Once the transformation was complete, Seth takes a look at Megalosaurus' stats and they were off the charts. Impressed, Seth continues to experiment, "Now then, Megalosaurus, Gigantic Fall!" Megalosaurus roars and with the power of telekinesis, it lifts boulders from off the ground and projects at the test dummy obliterating it.
"Excellent."
However, an alarm starts to go off. Seth checks the screen and sees a surveillance droid has spotted the D-Team and everyone else looking for Reese. This enrages Seth, "No! You're not getting away this time Zander." Seth then call us Dr. Z, "Doctor, we have a problem."
Inside the room that was once Zander's bedroom, Reese was crying into her hands. She couldn't believe what was happening, any minute now she'll lose both of her unborn babies and possibly could lose her life as well. "I never knew I'd end like this." She cries.
Banging noises then came from the door. "My angel, are you in there?" Reese looks up, she thought she heard Zander.
"Reese, are you okay?!" By now Reese was confident that everyone came to save her. "Yeah, I'm fine. But Seth and Dr. Z are planning to deliver the twins early and kill them, and they could start any minute now."
On the other side Zander tells his wife, "Don't worry Reese, we'll get you out!" Trying with all his might, Zander is struggling to open the door. "No use, it won't budge."
"Maybe it needs a passcode?" Max suggests, "Open sesame!" Nothing happened. Rex tells Max, "Max, just because that one time worked doesn't mean it'll work on everything." Max felt embarrassed, so he scooted off to the side.
Everyone tries to think of how to break Reese out, and Laura had it. "I know!" She pulls out an Alpha scanner and turns Tank into a card, "We can use Tank to smash through the door."
"I think that may be our only day option left." Zander bangs on the door, "Reese, stand clear of the door!" Reese follows and takes cover behind the bed. Zander gives Laura a nod of approval and she summons Tank into her full grown form.
"Alpha slash!"
A flash of purple light appears and then Tank is fully grown. "Tank, bust down the door!" Laura orders. Tank whirls around wielding her club and slams it into the door, completely detaching the door causing it to crash into the wall.
Once the door was down, Zoe and Zander rushed on in and immediately hugged Reese dearly as does she. "I'm so glad you and the twins are alright." Zander sighs in relief and Reese said, "Same here." Everyone else enters the room to see if Reese was okay. But once Reese saw Ed, she begins to panic. "Zander, why is Ed here?!" Reese questions while Ed explains, "I can explain. I know I cause trouble in the past, but now knowing that you and Zander are having a baby I want to show that I can be a better uncle. I'm sorry for the things I've done, but I can make it up by helping you escape." Reese looks at Zander, he nods. A sigh slips through her lips, "Alright, but no tricks." Ed crosses his heart, "Cross my heart."
Alarms start to go off, and the sound of alpha droids marching were growing closer. "Do not let them escape!" Dr. Z's voice was heard over an intercom. Alpha droids surround the door while repeating, "CAPTURE! CAPTURE!"
Luckily Tank was still full grown, so she roars and bashed away the droids for everyone to get out of the room and make a break for the exit. Many droids try to stop the D-Team, but they either got destroyed by Tank or got a blow from the heroes. One alpha droid tries to hold back Max, but he was saved by Rex and Zoe. "Thanks guys." He thanked. Everyone makes it to an elevator and calls for one, once it arrived Tank was called back into a card and everyone steps inside.
The elevator arrives in the jungle. "Think we're safe now?" Dr. Taylor asks. Ed replies, "Hopefully. The jungle is dense enough, so it'd take a while for the droids to-"
"They found us." Ed looks around and saw the alpha droids surrounding everyone. "Nevermind then." The alpha droids march closer to capture everyone when suddenly…
"HI-YAH!"
Ursula comes out of nowhere and ends up destroying every alpha droid surrounding everyone. The others watched in awe, they all thought it was a dream when it was actually reality. Once she was done and there were no more droids left, Zander walks up to his sister and asks, "Ursula I'm surprised, why did you save us?"
Ursula avoids eye contact and says, "I...have my reasons. I guess it'd be better if...if I go with you instead of staying here."
But Zander could see there was more to it by the tone of her voice. He smiles, "You don't have to say it. I know you still care for me even if we don't get along."
"N-no, I...I don't care." Ursula stutters with tears forming in her eyes.
"Are you crying Ursula?" Ed asks.
"I...I just have s-something in my eye!" Ursula then decides to look to her brother who had his arms opened up, "C'mon, I know you need it." Hesitant at first, Ursula clung to Zander and softly weeps into his shoulder. She whimpers, "I'm sorry." This really stuns the D-Team, Max whispers to Zoe, "This is so weird." Zoe agrees, "Yeah, I've never seen the o...Ursula like this before."
After a while of letting his sister letting loose, he looks to her, "Feeling any better?" She gestures with her hand, "A little bit."
"Don't worry, once we get off the island things will be much better for everyone." Zander takes his Alpha scanner out and tries to contact Droid to start the teleporter. But there was a problem. "Huh? Why am I not getting a signal?" Everyone else tries their devices but no luck. "What's going on?" Rex wondered.
"Your signals are jammed, there's no use for calling back up."
Everyone turns around to see trouble, Dr .Z, Seth, and a full grown Terry behind them.
Me: I leave you guys with a cliffhanger. Next time will be the big brawl, Dr. Z and Seth vs. The D-Team and the A-Gang. This is CarnotaursMan signing off till then. Bye! :)
