They appeared on a roof of a tall building, Zepar was standing in front of them. Before they could do anything, Zepar raised her hand that was rested on her stomach a second ago, they were lifted from the ground. They couldn't move.

"I'm not letting you escape this time. I'm going to kill you right here, but before I do, I want to talk. I've realized it too late..." She turned to Dr. Taylor. "You're pretty worthless, but I must admit, hiding lightning crystal in its owner was clever. That's why I can't touch him." She tiddled her head. "You should expect anything from anyone," he told her. "Huh?"

"We're still full of surprises." A grin on his face irritated her. This childish clown thinks he's a step ahead of her? How funny. There's no way someone's smarter, stronger or better than her. She's a goddess!

"Nothing can surprise me! I'm prepared for everything."

"It didn't look like you were prepared for an owner to come to save us."

Why does he keep talking? Isn't he scared for his life? Those kids are silent, but he's not... Is he such an idiot?

"That won't happen again. Everyone's busy fighting my new creations."

"Your creations?!" Max snapped, "you mutated dinosaurs!" "Of course, I've used my sister's creations to make my perfect ones. They're going to destroy everything done by my failed creations. Humans. Such an awful kind... Wars, genocides... Selfishness, hatred! You humans, my creations are the reason I am like this. Gods take over personalities of what they created. I'm vengeful because you are! I seek power because you do!"

"We're not like that!" Zoe yelled, "some people aren't like you. We don't kill anyone for no reason." "Oh, yeah? Then why do you want to kill me?" "You're trying to kill us and destroy all humanity," Rex said. "That you have a reason for killing doesn't mean you aren't a killer! I'll do you a favor. Before I'll kill I'll turn into someone you want to see in your last moments. What do you say?"

At that moment, Zepar got hit into the back, feeling like something's absorbing her power partly. She turned around, spotting a Saurolophus with its partner. The young blond woman stood there, this time with the green scarf around her neck.

"Don't touch my family," she said.

"Creator."

"Reese!" Everyone's eyes widened, she was there to save them and Zepar won't let her walk away unharmed.

Reese touched the iron plate pinned to the scarf, calling the Saurolophus back in the card that flew in her hand. "Thank you, Sarah. I can handle it on my own now. Let them go, Zepar."

"Are you seriously retrieving your dinosaur? Wait, how the heck did you even get here? You don't have a teleportation."

A slight smile formed on the researcher's pretty face. "Don't you know that angels can fly?"

"An angel?" Zepar sarcastically chuckled, "I've always found that nickname ironic. You're a liar, traitor. You are my sinner. You're no angel, no hero. How can he call you his angel?"

"Because that nickname wasn't meant for the creator. Zander's angel is the one who saved him in the desert. Someone kind, not a lair, someone brave, not a traitor. That nickname was meant for the real Reese Drake, Little Genius."

"Genius? Then why would you come here? Do you think I won't hurt you because of that brat? Wrong-"

"I know. You told me that you want my child as a servant to give me a false feeling of immortality against you."

"How did you-?"

"You attacked me. What if I didn't agree on helping you, it would die and you wouldn't risk anything like that."

"Fine, you might know that but know don't know everything about me."

"Like the fact that you cannot touch the legendary crystals? That's why you can't attack Max."

"And how do you know that?"

"When you touched Dark back in the Akuno. And when the guardians saved me when we first faced each other. I wanted to test that theory, so I let you absorb my body and it worked well. The left side of my body wasn't affected by you, only thanks to the grass crystal Zoe gave me before I left Akuno."

"But you cannot hurt me."

"And what if I can? I am the only human that can physically hurt you."

"And how did you figured that one out?"

"Very easily, but only thanks to Jeff. You're usually too fast to be hit by a normal human, but there were two times you weren't. When Jeff shot you, it showed as that something like that can't hurt you, you healed pretty fast."

"So what?"

"You're hand laid on your stomach gave it away. Does it still hurt you?"

"What?!"

"It does, right? From the moment I kicked you, you feel pain, right? I can physically hurt you probably because I am the creator, but I can and I will fight you. Now, let them go."

"How is it possible? Nobody's that smart to outsmart me!"

"Reese is!" Zepar looked back at her prisoners angrily. "It seems you underrated the smartest person in Japan," Dr. Taylor laughed.

"The smartest in Japan...?" Zepar grinned. "A failure like her? The creator that caused the end of humanity? Look around! This is a beginning of a new era! MY ERA!"

"I said, let them go."

Zepar's eyes fell back at Reese.

"You've just called back your dinosaur, you don't even take me seriously. Why should I respect you? What are you going to do, creator?"

"I'm not the creator. I am not your puppet."

"Shut up already."

"No. I won't repeat myself, let them go, now!"

"What can you do to me?"

Despite this seemingly impossible conflict to solve, Reese was totally calm. She knew what to do. She took off her glasses.

"Let them go and we'll have our final showdown. Just you and me. No one else and without your powers."

"Reese, no!" the others tried to stop her.

"You stay out of this! This might not be only my war, but if this is what's needed to be done-" "Don't do that! What about your baby? What about you?!"

"I'd rather let my child die then let it live in a world ruled by Zepar."

"So naive..." Zepar snapped her fingers, the D-team was dropped down. She then walked to Reese, grabbing her throat.

"Reese!"

"Gha-! Ru...run...!"

"Reese, no! I won't leave you!" Zoe told her sister.

"I said run!"

Max took Zoe's hand, dragging her to the staircase. "Sis!" The door behind them and Rex closed.

Zepar held Reese's throat tighter. The scientist didn't give up that easily, she grabbed Zepar's wrist, twisting into an uncomfortable position, squeezing it hard, causing a big pain to the queen. Zepar let go of her.

Reese made a few steps back, but Zepar attacked again. She slapped her and punched her. Reese knew why to take off the glasses. After a few more hits, Reese started bleeding, her lip and nose, horrible wounds all over her face. She was then pushed down. Her back hit the ground and a groan escaped her mouth.

"You little bitch. What do you think you can do, creator? Die? Pretty much. Death is your only future. Are you wondering 'is it really my fate to die to her'? It seems. I feel bad for that child, you won't even give it a chance." Zepar walked closer to her, her hand ready to punch her again, but this time a whip wrapped around her wrist, stopping her.

"And you shouldn't have underrated me," a male voice told her.

Reese didn't know he was still there, everything was fuzzy without her glasses.

"Dr. Taylor? What are you doing here...? I-I told you to run!"

"Don't expect me to let you do this on your own."

"You said just you and me, creator. I shouldn't have trusted you, lair!"

Every time Zepar called her like that the anger inside her grew.

"If you don't play fair, neither will I!" Zepar pulled the whip with all her strength, causing Dr. Taylor to fall down. Once he was on the ground it was easy. Those same ropes wrapped around him, he couldn't move.

"Leave him out of this," Reese said as she hardly got up.

"You still have the energy to continue? Impressive."

Something hit Reese from behind, knocking her down to the ground. She faced the cold roof of the building. Then she felt a foot stepping on her head.

"That's how I like it. You, absolutely powerless. Pray."

"Never..."

"What did you say?!"

"I won't obey you, Zepar..."

"You don't want to be spared?"

"I'd rather die!"

"That can happen if you wish."

Almost a minute of silence was interrupted by a strange sound. Reese knew it; her first guess was Paris, but that wasn't it.

Zepar covered her ears, it was so horrible for her, she was perfectly distracted. Reese took advantage of the situation and got up. She heard three different roars and saw several blurry spots. She took on her glasses and saw clearly.

Zepar backed away from T-Rex, Spinosaurus, and Saichania. The rope around Dr. Taylor disappeared, he was able to stand up. Reese then spotted the Alpha trio and Aki near the staircase, she caused that sound. Reese could tell that by the sound crystal in her hand.

"My angel!"

Reese wanted to join the others but Zepar already had a solution to her problem with the three dinos. She created dark illusions to keep Terry, Spiny, and Tank at least for a while away from her and Reese.

While the dinosaurs were distracted and the humans couldn't go through, Zepar drove Reese away. Every second she was one step closer to the edge of the roof.

"You're scared for your life, isn't that right?" Zepar laughed, "this is so perfect. This is going to be your end."

"You can forget about that, Zepar."

"Really? Do you have another plan? I don't think so. How can you know this all wasn't my plan? I can still control you. You're mine."

Reese stopped when she was one step away from her death.

"Reese! Terry, Spiny, Tank! Hurry!" Zander desperately begged the dinosaurs. He tried to run to his angel himself but his siblings stopped him. They held him tightly. "Hey!"

"The last time you did this we almost died!" Ursula reminded him.

"And we don't want you to die either!" Ed added.

"But I must save her!"

"Aki!" Dr. Taylor ran to them, hugging his wife.

"Oh, Spike! Thank goodness, you're okay," she said as she hugged back.

"Only thanks to you."

"Let's see if angels can actually fly."

"Are you going to kill me?" Reese wondered, "if it wasn't for me you'd be powerless."

"You're right."

Zepar smirked. "You helped me."

She stroked Reese's cheek gently.

"You and the princess of darkness are the only ones who understand me. The only ones by my side."

"What are talking about?"

"We've been together for a long, long time, my angel."

Reese gasped as she heard those words from the devil's mouth. Unlike usually when they warmly hug, this time they almost stabbed her heart. She noticed two dark wings on her back.

"No..."

"What was that?"

"No, I'm not yours. How dare you say that? Only one person can call me that," Reese growled, "and you are not him!"

Something in her coat glowed in a green light, she took it out. It was the grass crystal. Vines wrapped around Zepar's right arm. The wings disappeared.

"What the...?!"

New vines got her left arm and throat.

"Gha-!"

Thorns formed on the plant.

"I-I was right... You're the same as I am, creator... D-don't you have deja vu?"

Zepar's words made Reese realize that...

As she took the first step, her body paralyzed in pain. Something pierced her body through. Her glasses fell to the ground. In the limbs, she felt a stabbing pain, wrapped around with ropes, and finally around her neck.

"I'm not like you..."

"Yes, you are... You like seeing me suffer like this."

"Shut up!"

"So naive. You are mine, creator... Have you seen your scars? They mean you belong to me and only me! Stab me!"

"No!" Reese dropped the crystal and fell on her knees. "No... I am not you..." The vines disappeared.

Meanwhile, three moves defeated Zepar's illusions.

"I'm not a lair, I'm not a traitor, I'm not your puppet... I am not you!" Reese cried, "I've made a mistake, I've caused several deaths, only to make my sister and friends happy... This wasn't the best way, but...we all have good lives despite that...Things could have been completely different and worse...Everything bad is good something...all of this mess helped me realize who I am...and I am not your servant."

Zepar stared at her for a while and then vanished.

"Reese, are you okay?" The others retrieved the dinosaurs and rushed to her.

Tears ran down Reese's face, her tormenting was over. Before they came to her, she rolled up both of her sleeves, looking at her old scars caused by Zepar.

Zander hugged her tightly. "My angel..."

"I'm okay...don't worry."

"Oh, boy..." The others noticed the scars. Zander as the only wasn't surprised, he knew about them.

"Those look horrible..." Ed murmured. "Wait, did you-"

"No. When Zepar kidnapped Zoe she attacked me and caused these..." Reese sadly looked at her right arm. "Zepar was right..." Some scars made a letter 'z' with a closer look.

"It's going to be alright, angel..."

He stroked her cheek, looking at the wounds. "She's going to pay for hurting you..."

"Don't worry about it, Zan," Reese reassured him, taking his hands, "it's just a face, nothing serious. She didn't hit the belly." "Thank God..."

Reese got up. "Thank you for coming in time, especially you, Aki." She made her friend blushed. "T-that was nothing. It was all Cole's idea. If he didn't give me his crystal...the kids!"

They noticed the dark cloud forming again. "Since we have Zoe's and Cole's crystals the kids can't defeat Zepar. We must hurry!"

They ran down, meeting the rest of the guardian outside.

"Where are the owners?"

"They're after Zepar," Zakuro replied, "we have no time to lose." "They have a perfect opportunity," Lucy said, "can we get to them on time?"

"I don't think so..."

"You can't but I can," Jeff spoke up, "I can still hide in shadows, it's faster than walking. Give me the crystals."

Reese and Aki gave him the crystals.

"Don't waste your time."

He nodded and quickly disappeared...

The dark cloud flew over the city while the owners, Rod, Kami, Cruz, their dinosaurs, and Bel chased after it.

"We must attack now!" Ema said. "No," Cruz objected, "all the crystals must be used. Dark, you must turn into the angel of darkness." "What about me?" Kenji wondered, "I can't transform like Dark. How can I use my crystal?" "You have secret dinosaurs, they're related to the light," Dengyo realized, "it can possibly work."

"Hey! Wait up!" Cole yelled at them, his legs still hurt, so he tried to run behind them with Justing who wasn't the fastest of them.

"...I'll try..." Dark whispered, "but I'm not sure if Harc is going to cooperate." "It's in order to destroy Zepar," Sabi said, "she should agree."

Dark nodded, her crystal started to glow and black wings appeared on her back, her eyes turned black. "Did someone mention destroying Zepar?" Harc asked.

When he heard that voice, Rod stopped, looking at the angel. "Harc? Is that you?"

Her eyes widen once they fell on the boy. "Rod?"

"Harc, you're alive...?"

"Partly. I thought I'll never see you again..."

"So did I."

They gazed at each other for a while.

"Aww, so Rod has a girlfriend," Kyra said.

"Hey! She's mine!" Kenji snapped as he noticed.

"I'm glad you meet the love of your life again, but she's in my sister's body, so cut it out," Cruz growled.

"I case you guys have forgotten we must fight," Kami reminded them, "by the way, nice to meet you again, Harc."

"Moment, how did she survived?" Justin wondered, "that does not make sense." "It's weird you're still trying to find a sense in all of this," Andy chuckled.

"Who the heck is that?" Nicolas demanded. He saw a man standing in their way.

"Jeff?"

"I'm here to save your asses, kids," he told them, "catch." He tosses grass crystal and sound crystal to Zoe and Cole. They caught them. "And where are the others?" Zoe wondered.

"They were afraid they won't be fast enough. Everyone's still alive."

"Well, it looks like you're a hero, Jeff," Niki joked. "Don't think so. Just get rid of her for my little brother, okay?" Jeff asked them. "So, you do have a brother."

"I did... Michael."

"He was your brother?" Ema's eyes widened.

"You can talk about that later," Bel told them, "now, you must save the world."

"That's the right talk," Rex agreed.

"But we can't hit Zepar when she's like this," Alice objected, "she's too far away."

"Leave that to me," Kami said and ran ahead into a small alley.

"Zepar! Zepar, I want to ask you something."

"Huh? What is it?" The Dark Pterosaur looked back, slowing down.

"Zepar, please, hear me out!"

The queen stopped and flew to her. If anyone else tried to talk to her, she wouldn't care, but this was the princess of darkness; the girl that spent a hundred years with her. She treated Kami as her own daughter, as her future.

Zepar turned into her human form. "What is it, little princess?"

"Gundham. What happened to him?"

"He? He's dead. What you've seen was just an illusion."

"...I see...Now!" Kami yelled so the owners can hear her.

They all approached with their dinosaurs, their crystal glowing.

"What the...?!"

Owners' dinosaurs shot with everything they got.

Chomp the Triceratops, Ace the Carnotaurus, Paris the Parasaurolophus, Tashi the Pachycephalosaurus, Ria the Crylophosaurus, Karo the Dimetrodon, Ellen the Ampelosaurus, Annie the Daspletosaurus, Stegi the Stegosaurus, Star the Dilophosaurus, Aaron the Coelophysis, Shadow the Lufengosaurus, Jessica the Corythosaurus, Mitch the Compsognathus, Dino, Dano, and Sue the Deinonychus and Harc the angel of darkness attacked the Dark Pterosaur's human form. A multicolored beam hit her.

Everyone heard a horrifying scream of her pain. Their blood almost froze, their ears hurt from that terrifying sound.

As the beam disappeared, they could see Zepar clearly. Her eyes were wide opened. The beam made a huge hole through her torso.

"...ha...so, good wins after all...One goddess created a dinosaur...the other goddess killed a dinosaur...the goddess created a human...a human killed the goddess..." after those words escaped Zepar's mouth, her pale lifeless body fell to the ground.

They won...

The sky changed to normal.

"We killed her..." Sue murmured.

"...she was right..." Max whispered, clutching his hands into fists, "but there was no other way...we're no better than her..." Then someone touched his shoulder, he looked back. "She left us no other choice," Zoe told him, smiling. He hugged her. "It's all over..."

Kami looked over at Zepar. "I'm sorry..." she sobbed as she transformed into Laura.

Dark's wings disappeared and she started falling down. Kenji caught her before she could hit the ground. "Are you okay?"

"Si... Gracias."

The Spanish kissed his cheek, he blushed.

Cruz and Sabi glared at him.

"Well, maybe you should leave them alone," Niki suggested.

"...it won't bring you back, Miharu, but at least no one else will join you because of her," Ema mumbled to herself. Jeff heard her. "So, it was you he was talking about, Wada," he said. She looked at him.

"Why didn't he tell me he has a brother?" she wondered. "I didn't tell Wendy either... The guardians know just because I gave him the crystals and stopped being the guardian myself. Our parents divorced and I lived with our father while he was with mom. We didn't see each other much since then."

"It's nice to see you alive," Alice told Rex.

"Same."

"I knew you'll do great."

"Guess, you've seen the right future," Rex chuckled.

Alice shook her head. "I believed in you."

The dinosaurs slowly changed into their cards one by one, the only ones remaining were Atrox, River, and the Torosaurus.

Andy looked at his crystal and noticed something strange. The crystal had more cracks than before, it slowly broke into small pieces. A paralyzing pain ran through his body.

"Andy, buddy? What's going on?" Nicolas asked him. Andy Kato fell on his knees with a blank expression.

"Andy?!" Sabi rushed to him, but felt the same pain, falling to the ground with the same expression.

"Sabi!" "Hermana!"

The same happened to Niki and Ema. Jeff caught the brunette. "Wada?"

Cole looked around, grinning at his little brother, falling to the ground.

"I-I do not feel so good..." Justin murmured, before passing out like the others.

"The hell is going on?" Sue wondered the pain hit even her, she looked at Zoe, "girl...?"

"This is bad!" Kyra squealed, "b-bad..." She fainted as well.

Dengyo glared at his crystal that was in pieces just like all the others. "We used all power of the crystals...So, that's what happens..." He joined the others.

"I go to find the guardians!" Bel ran away.

"Damn it..." Nicolas whispered, feeling the pain too.

"R-Rex...help..." Alice fell into Rex's arms. "Alice? Wake up! This isn't time for a nap."

"She's not napping..." Zoe said, her eyes closing. Max held her.

"Kids!"

The guardians arrived, worried sick when they spotted the scene.

"Wen, we need a little help here," Jeff exclaimed.

Rex let go of Alice, falling to the ground beside her.

Max's legs broke under him, fainting as well.

"Max!"

"What is going on?" Sora wondered.

"Den said something about the power of the crystals," Kenji, as the only owner left since Dark blacked out in his arms, explained, "...are we...dying because of that...?"

Everything was so blurry for him, then everything turned black.
