Fossil Fighters- Paleo Legacy
Chapter 23- The Escape
(Play Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood: Let it Out)
Let it all out, let it all out
You don't have to act like everything's okay
(The sun shines brightly with the seagulls passing by. Five orbs of elements swirl before they shined softly and the title, "Fossil Fighters- Paleo Legacy" is seen before it turns to another scene.)
Pour it all out, pour it all out
'Cause I'm here for you
And you should know that I'm here to stay
(Tyrant is seen at the edge of the cliffs of Vivosaur Island, watching the ocean waves and the wind blowing around him, a soft saddened look on his face before looking at the medals of his dinos as they shined in his hands and he smiled softly.)
Know that you aren't the only
Person here who feels lonely
And that I really fully can understand
All of the things that you've been going through
(Rosie was seen with her arms behind her back as she watches the sun rise before she smiles. Holt looks at the cliff to see Ty as he smiles a bit with a clenched fist.)
Don't you ever give up on life
'Cause that's just not the right thing to do
(Ty walks through Knotwood forest as he recalls his past memories, before seeing memories of everyone he met on the island, smiling and looking up with his eyes shining bright, covering the screen.)
Just stay with me
And soon you'll see
If you would just live for today
(Twilight spins as she waves to the screen with a bright smile as her and Ty's parents were seen next with smiles.)
Forget the past
Make today last
That you'd surely be okay
(Ty was seen running through with the memories of his rich past before passing into the light of his bright future.)
Don't ever forget the bond we share
For no matter what I'll always be here
Next to you
And I know it's hard but you'll get through
(The scene was changed with Ty and Holt at the Fossil Arena smirking at each other as they tossed their medals out as their chosen vivosaurs were summoned and charged into a fierce battle of the century as they enjoyed their battle with bright energy.)
I'm here to stay
And here to say
That I promise I won't leave
(Peggy and Zoe ran to Ty and hugged him on each of his sides as the three laughed.)
Won't disappear
I'll always be here
And you'd better believe
(Dr. Diggins with his stego and Wendy were seen with smiles while the dino licked the scientist to the ground as Wendy laughed.)
Things aren't easy as they say
But just hang on in
And I'm sure that you'll be okay
(A young lady in a cloak was seen as she turned to the screen with yellow eyes glowing, as walked ahead and vanished in the darkness.)
Try your best because I know
You have strength within
(Ty was seen at the edge of the island with his vivosaurs in their anthro forms, snuggling against the fighter as he smiled at the setting sun and the five glowing orbs shined softly before the screen went black.)
Footsteps echoed softly around the steel walls. Duna was guiding Tyrant through the ship to the portal room in an effort to send him home. "How much further?" Ty whispered as the two turned another corner.
Duna breathed softly. "We still have a little ways to go, but it shouldn't take too long."
"Right," the boy nodded, "and...thank you again, Duna...you're a good friend for doing this for me. I know this isn't easy for you."
Duna flushed hidden from his view while she held her hand over her heart. "I just don't want to see you suffer. Even if it does hurt my people."
"We'll find a solution to save you all, I promise." The dragon hybrid replied with warmth in his words as his cloaked hand gently held her free hand. "Umm...there is one other thing though…"
"Y-yes?" Duna stuttered.
"How long before they realize I left my cell?" Ty spoke.
"Not for a while. Dynal trusts me enough to believe I will keep my eyes on you for a bit. I'll bide you and your friends some time until you find a solution to stop all this." She explained. The pair remained quiet for a bit as they walked throughout the the ship before reaching a large room. "This is it. Take the teleporter and you'll be sent back to the island."
Ty breathed in relief as he pulled the cloak hood down. "I can't wait to be home, I still gotta explain to the others what happened to-" The teleporter hummed to life...until three familiar faces popped out from it. "Me? Twi, Holt, Diggins?" The blonde girl perked up at the sound of his voice and spotted him.
"Ty!" She cried out before sprinting and hugging him tightly.
"Twi…" The boy breathed as he was filled with relief to see his little sister again. He embraced her back tightly. "Sis…" His sister teared up as she buried her face against his chest.
"I-I was so worried...I thought I would never...we thought you were…" The blonde sobbed in his hold.
The dinarian princess was shocked and walked over to Diggins and Holt who were trying to comprehend the fact that they were even in space. "How...did you three teleport here?"
Holt was the first to snap out of it and turned to her. "Well, from our last encounter after that dinaurian asshole turned Rosie into a tridoiant, she snagged this from him." He showed her a device that held a raptor symbol that would wrap around the neck of someone.
"Raptin's teleporter…" Duna blinked in surprise.
"Yeah, guess you dinaurians are wrong about us humans being dumb." The blonde boy glared. "And don't think I'm letting you off easy for what you did back at the lab."
The girl sighed as she dipped her head and looked away. "I understand."
Ty spoke up as he and Twilight approached. "Take it easy on her, Holt. She's been through enough right now, and she did help me bust out from the cells. Duna saved my life in fact."
Twi tilted her head. "But...wasn't she the reason you got kidnapped?"
"Duna was following orders." Her brother explained. "She didn't have any choice. I saw she regretted everything up to that point. Not to mention our last incident from Mt Lavaflow." His words caused a tiny smile to form on Duna's lips.
Before another word could be spoken footsteps from the next hallway could be heard. Ty panicked and covered himself with the cloak as the doors opened revealing a male dinarian.
"Looks like you three returned from the island." He spoke. "News is spreading that we got the boy and access to the cosmonite needed for our survival." The three humans still visible gave each other side glances and remained quiet. "Yeah, silent to be relieved. Anyway, you better turn off your human disguises, they're not allowed on while we're on the ship. Unless…" He leaned in as his face hardened. "You three are actual humans."
Holt chuckled nervously. "Right, like that could ever happen. A human getting onto this ship."
The dinaurian eased and laughed. "I agree. I mean seriously, what are the odds of that? Anyway, go ahead and turn the disguises off."
The humans panicked and sweated a bit before Duna spoke. "Afraid they can't. I checked their cloaking device bracelets and they were overheated by their exploration from the volcano on the island. They'll be rebooted shortly."
The male dinarian remained silent before groaning. "Again? Jeez, you'd think the engineers would've made them heat proof by now. Alright, guess I'll go and talk to them." With that he turned and exited the way he came.
Everyone in the room breathed in relief. "Whew, that was way too close for comfort." Diggins sighed.
Duna nodded. "You should all teleport back before anyone else comes." They nodded in agreement as each of them stepped back onto the teleporter. Ty was the last before he moved close to her.
"We'll be back. I promise." He spoke before pecking her cheek and teleporting away.
In a blinding flash of light, the four humans found themselves back in Mr. Richmond's office. The old man had a baffled expression on his face. "What the devil?! Diggins, Holt, Twi! Where did you three vanish to?!"
Diggins breathed. "We'll explain in a bit, but I think someone needs medical attention." He turned as Ty pulled the cloak off his head while Twi and Holt supported him.
The elder man gasped. "You found him!? Thank god! The others will be relieved."
That was when the elevator door opened as they saw Ty's mom and dad entering. "Richmond, any news of finding-" His father froze his words when he and his wife saw their son. "Ty!?"
The boy gave a sheepish chuckle. "Hey Mom. hey Dad. Sorry about making you worry." His vision was suddenly darkened when his mother tackled him into a tight embrace while she sobbed in relief. Tyrant felt the color leave his face. "Ma...Ma please...oxygen…" He groaned.
"I'm so happy you're okay!" She spoke with relief as she pulled back and started smothering his face with kisses.
Ty groaned. "Not in front of everyone." The others gave small laughs at the sight before she stopped and hugged him again, but more gently.
"Ty, where in the world have you been? You put everyone on the island on alert." His father spoke.
"Well you see I was kidnapped and brou-" He winced and grabbed his chest as he felt roaring pain flared up his side from when they cut into him. "Shit...that hurts." He hissed.
Diggins pulled Ty up as his mother took his other side. "We'll talk more about this later. Right now, you need medical attention and rest." The group rushed him to the elevator and brought him outside towards the hospital.
The doctors set him up treating his wounds and hooked IV's to him. Ty felt relieved to be home again, but knew he needed to keep his promise. As they finally patched the last of his wounds, he spoke to Diggins who was examining his condition. "How bad is it, Doc?"
The scientist shrugged. "Nothing permanent from what I can see, but they sure cut you open good."
Ty nodded. "Yeah, freaking carved me like a turkey."
"But why did they do it?" He asked curiously.
"Well, remember about the cosmonite I told you about?" Ty asked which made Diggins nod. "Well, shocking enough, the metal is fused with my body."
Diggins blinked as he soaked in this info. "Really?"
Ty nodded. "And apparently the metal uses my naturally occuring energy to regenerate. They were planning on keeping me as a living supply of the metal."
"Like livestock." Diggins shuddered a bit by the thought.
"Yes." Ty nodded before he gasped slightly. "Wait, where's Rosie?"
The scientist gave a knowing smirk. "She's fine, except for being worried sick about you. She was also grumbling about her big day being ruined."
Ty groaned. "The wedding...goddammit." He face palmed. "If only this didn't happen…"
"So that's what Wendy meant when she said something about being happy for you and Rosie. Good for you two." The man chuckled.
"Thanks." The boy chuckled slightly. "You think you could call her here? After what I've been through, it would be nice to see and speak with her again." Before the doc could move, a frantic knock shook the door. Diggins opened the door before a pink blur shot passed him and tackled Tyrant. "Gak! Rosie…" He wheezed when he recognized the pink blob of hair in his eyes. The girl sobbed and clutched him tightly as she spoke his name again and again. The dragon boy managed to get his breath before embracing her. "I'm happy to see you again too, Rosie." He spoke softly.
The pinkette sniffed as she moved to his face. "I'm just happy you're still alive and in one piece." She smiled warmly.
"It'll take more than this to kill me, my love." Ty chuckled softly before cupping her cheek and planted his lips to hers. She moaned softly before gripping his head and kissed him back.
Diggins chuckled. "You both know I'm right here still, right?" Rosie on her end simply waved a hand at Diggins as she only focused on Ty in her arms. This caused Diggins to chuckled again. "Ah, young love." He walked out and gave the two some privacy.
When he left, the two broke the kiss as Ty pulled her on his body. "I missed being by your side…"
Rosie blushed and nodded. "I missed you too." The boy chuckled softly and kissed her head.
"Sorry our wedding was canceled because of this, but once everything settles down, I'll make it the best one beyond your dreams." He cooed sweetly.
"I can't wait." Rosie giggled.
It was about a few hours later until Ty was healed enough to walk again. He along with his friends and family gathered in the room he stayed in as he explained what happened after being kidnapped. "And after Duna escorted me back to the portal room was when the others arrived. Nice timing on their part." Tyrant concluded.
"So these dinaurians kidnapped you because you're infused with the cosmonite that we used for generations, and they wanted to use you as livestock?" Ty's father asked.
The boy nodded. "Pretty much, yes. Although based on what I heard them say I was actually infused with the ore because of my frequent contact with it."
The mother of the boy only huffed before embracing him. "Wel, I refuse to let those beasts pluck a hair from my little boy."
Tyrant gave a soft sigh. "Its ok Ma, now that I know what's going on I can be on my guard."
"There's still a chance they'll come back for you though." Holt spoke up this time. "When they find out you escaped, no doubt they'll send an army to get you. You're a tough fighter to pin down, but this isn't going to end well."
"Well, not for nothing I could probably build my own army of machines if I needed to." The fighter spoke as he pulled away from his mother.
"That'll be slightly impossible." Diggins explained. "While you are skilled with building machinery and have access to your family's tech, we're dealing with a race of dinosaur aliens with far more advanced technology that we don't understand in the slightest."
"Wait...don't we still have those idols?" Ty asked. "Judging from how their king spoke of them they seemed pretty important."
Twilight shook her head sadly. "Sadly no. Duna and her companion Raptin stole them a few hours ago."
Her brother remained silent as his fists clenched. "We need to get them back, if they have them...they're practically ready to wipe all humans of the face of the earth."
Everyone was silent as they knew the crisis at hand. That was when Diggins spoke. "Not unless we take one of the four idols." Tyrant blinked in confusion. "When I had the idols, I studied them carefully and found they seem have a connection to the others, like a key or a battery. They need to work as one in order for something else or bigger to work from the wave reading I recorded. If we manage to take at least one of the idols back, we might be able to prevent the dinaurians from proceeding with their plan to end us."
"Then let's get to it, but how do we get back to the ship? How did you three get there anyway?" Ty wondered.
"We got there using a teleporter device they used on their necks, but apparently it ran out of juice." Holt explained.
"But I can use the pieces and the readings from the device to build a teleporter of my own to go from here to the ship." Diggins explained.
Ty thought for a second and grinned to himself. "Think after you're done with the original I'll add it to my tech. Could come in handy for me." Diggins nodded with a smile. "Good, then once the teleporter is set, we'll get in there and get one of the idols."
"And how do you plan to accomplish that?" Holt spoke in an unamused look. "You barely got out of there and we were lucky Duna kept our cover from being blown. If we return looking like humans, we'll be screwed. Not to mention they'll notice you immediately in your dragon form."
Twi muttered to herself. "Would be nice if we had some disguises…"
"I believe I can assist you, my fighter." A voice spoke as Twi perked to Igno's voice. "Remember that Frigi and I have the power to transform you and your friends as these dinaurians."
Tyrant blinked as he too heard Igno speak as a smile formed. "How about that, Sis. You actually have a good idea."
Twi giggled. "I guess so. With our vivosaurs, we should blend in perfectly."
"What about your vivosaurs that can help with this?" Ty's father asked curiously.
Both Ty and Twi gulped as nervous chuckles were heard. "Um...yeeeaaah about that...we've kinda been trying to keep this hidden from you two." Ty started.
"And what might that be?" The mother spoke with a small glare.
The siblings glanced at each other before sighing. "Okay..we'll show you, but please, don't freak out." Twi took out Igno's medal. "Come on out." She tossed the medal and in a warm light, Igno appeared in his anthro form. Shock took hold of their parents as their dad turned away and their mom flushed.
"He's naked…" The father coughed.
"We know, it's kinda how it is…" Twi blushed.
Their mom gulped as she looked Igno up and down. "And...you both have vivosaurs like...him?"
Tyrant winced slightly. "N-nooooo...not quite. You see, it turns out Twi has the only...errr...male."
The father turned back. "You mean…?" Ty nodded slowly as he looked at Holt. His friend nodded and tossed out one of his V-Raptor medals, revealing her in her own anthro form. As the raptor stood by Holt's side, Mr. Paleo flushed this time while his wife glared at him.
"Are you getting any funny ideas, mister?" She asked with a firm tone.
The male blinked before looking at his wife and glared back. "Like how you looked at the male vivosaur in front of you?"
Ty bit his lip as his parents began arguing. Deciding to end it before it got out of hand, he ran to them and got between them. "Hey hey hey! Come on. Don't fight about this. Come on, you're both better than this." The pair sighed before nodding at their son.
"He's right. I'm sorry dear." His father spoke.
His wife offered a small smile. "As am I sweetie." The two turned their attention to their son. "So how long has this been hidden for?"
"Well...kinda since the first day I came here." Ty answered. "And there's another thing about them. They...well...how do I put this…"
"The ones who awaken them with this form see us as their mates." Holt spoke. Once more the parents flushed as they glanced between Ty and Twi.
"A...are you saying you two actually…?" Their mother breathed in shock. The siblings slowly nodded in reply. "...oh my…"
"We're sorry for not telling you two about this sooner." Ty breathed. "But we had to. How can we explain we have anthro vivosaurs that bed us all the time?"
Hearing that made his mother's eye twitch while her brow arched. "You did what now?"
"Don't blame him." Twilight spoke. "They kinda made their first move on us the first time. We try to control it, but it usually gets outta hand...especially during the heat season."
Their mother tapped her toes on the ground and crossed her arms. "I thought we taught you two that doing something as intimate as that should only be done after you're married."
"It's not our fault." Ty spoke. "Everytime we dig up new fossils of our new vivosaurs, they all have this form. It's not like we wished for them to have this trait."
"Maybe so, but that's no excuse for you two to be doing that sort of thing. What would you do if you had gotten them pregnant?" Mrs. Paleo scolded them. Holts raptor giggled as Ty sweated a bit. "...you did not..." She breathed. Ty gulped and stared at the ground. "...I can't believe this." She glared with an angered expression. "I am very disappointed in you Tyrant Paleo."
Ty winced by the use of his full name. "But mom-"
"No buts." She spoke firmly. "I think we need to cover some punishments."
"I agree." Mr. Paleo nodded with his own scowl. "Ty, after the wedding, you and Rosie will leave the island and you will have to get rid of those medals to someone else. Letting you come here with Twilight was a mistake."
Tyrant's pupils shrank. "You can't be serious. You can't do that to me!" Ty protested.
"If we knew about this, then we never would've let you come here." His mother spoke with her glare. "We gave you and Twi too much freedom, so we're laying these rules down after the wedding."
Ty's body slowly shook with anger rising. "This is ridiculous! I won't give up my vivosaurs! They're apart of my life! They're one of the big reasons why I became more of myself than what I was back home! I love every one of them! They're family to me!" Rosie frowned at her fiance's outburst as she tried to calm him down.
"Do not give us that attitude young man." His mother spoke angrily. "You have no one but yourself to blame for all this. You will give those medals to Diggins right now."
"No." Ty growled.
Mr Paleo glared. "What was that, boy?"
"I said no!" The dragon hybrid snapped. "I am not giving them up!" Without another word Ty walked out of the room and slammed the door shut behind him as cracks formed in the wall.
The parents gave irritated and angered sighs before they saw Twi taking Igno back and walking to the door. "And where are you going, young lady?" Her mother spoke firmly.
"Out." She spoke bitterly as she opened the door.
"Twilight Paleo if you leave this room, you will be grounded like Ty." Her father spoke angrily.
Twilight growled and turned to them. "Is this how you're going to treat us now!? We told you two what has been going on and yet you can't even accept it!? The vivosaurs are apart of our family! Ty and I have been alone for so long back home before we came here and we have new friends! Just because we fucked our vivosaurs doesn't mean we're different! We're still the same daughter and son you two love...or maybe you never saw that because you were busy with the damn company than your own family!" She slammed the door shut as well.
The room remained silent as all eyes were at the door. Holt gulped. "Well...this got awkward...I'm just gonna…" He spoke as he made his way to the door as well.
Rosie followed behind him. "I need to go and calm down Ty."
When the teens were gone, the Paleo couple and Diggins were that remained. The scientist sighed, "Listen, I know you two are not fond with the events occuring with your children, but you can't stop them from what they love. It's more than just their events with thier vivosaurs, it's their love for what they found here. They found friends and those who care for them for who they really are. They've done a lot for the island. It wouldn't be as bad if you two had some understanding and try to take this more calm than rational." He sighed before walking to the door. "Think about it. Your children only want your support and happiness, not what you just gave them." The man left as the door softly closed behind him.
Now with just the couple in the room, Mrs. Paleo took a seat in a nearby chair and stared at the floor. "...August?"
"Hmm?" Her husband asked.
She started to tear up. "Did we really fail them that much? Are we terrible parents after all?"
Her husband sighed softly as he sat down as well. "..I don't know...but...I can't help but think we did...I can't remember the last time we ever did something with the kids before we sent Ty here…" Mrs. Paleo sobbed in her hands as she leaned against him. He frowned before pulling her in a tight embrace. "We were too hard on them...what we did was wrong…"
"They hate us now, I'm sure of it." The woman sobbed.
"They don't." He spoke softly. "They're just furious for what we told them. All these years, even though we never interacted with them much, they still love us."
"How will ever get the two of them to forgive us?" She sniffed.
"I don't know yet, but we will find a way." Her husband spoke an kissed her head.
The three exited the room as they went outside. Knowing that Ty's infuriated, they need to find him and calm him down. They split up to cover more ground, but there were no signs of him anywhere. They grouped back up at the mid section of the island in defeat. "Did either of you find him?" Rosie asked.
Holt hung his head. "I got nothing."
"Neither did I." Twilight sighed. "He has to be around here somewhere."
"Hey did you hear?" They heard a fighter speak as two passed by them. "Someone in a cloak ran out from the hospital not too long ago and he literally grew wings and flew into the sky."
"Seriously?" His friend asked in shock. "Where do you think he went?"
"Probably that old BB bandit island that was said to be public soon." The boy answered as they walked on.
"Guess we know now." Holt perked up. The group ran to the docks to see about getting a boat.
"Excuse me," Rosie started, "we need to go to the BB base. It's an emergency."
Sue clicked a few keys on her pad. "Well, the island is not yet opened to the public, but since you and your friends were there recently, Diggins allowed you three special passes there." All three nodded in relief before Traver's ship pulled up.
"Hop on." The captain greeted. The three hopped in as the boat set off to the island. After half an hour, they were getting closer to the island, but heard explosions going off far from the base.
Holt arched a brow. "The island isn't volcanic right?"
"No," Twilight shook her head. "When my brother is furious, he usually takes his anger out on anything he can. That must be him doing causing those explosions."
The boy grimaced. "We need to get there fast before he hurts someone." The boat sped up until they finally arrived at the base. They jumped off the ship and stepped onto the metal dock. The area shook from the explosions as they set off for the base.
As the fighters walked forward they were greeted by another trio. "Okay, which of you brats wants to explain why our home is getting mortared?" Vivian huffed.
The three gulped a bit before Twilight spoke. "Family issues...Ty...kinda blew up at our parents earlier today..."
Vivian growled. "So his first instinct is come here and bomb us?"
"He's kinda hot tempered." Holt spoke up. "You did see how he almost obliterated you three and that bastard you once called boss the first time he came here."
"One more word Blondie and I'll sick Rex on you." The woman huffed. "We're still trying to patch the holes in the walls from his last visit."
"Enough!" Rosie snapped. "We're not here to fight each other, we're here to try and calm Ty down."
Snivels stepped forward. "From what we can tell he's near the rear of the base. Bit of rocky out cropping back there."
"We'll take care of it." Twilight nodded as the three passed the trio. They went around the base through the rocks until they saw Ty smashing a fist into a rock as it exploded into thousands of pieces as he panted angrily.
"Can't believe they would do try to that!" He growled and smashed another, reducing it to rubble. "I expected them to be opposed to it at the very least, but are you fucking kidding me!?" The fighter let out a roar before a blast of energy shot from his mouth and pulverized a portion of a nearby cliff. "The fucking nerve! I hate them!" He grabbed a large boulder and threw it behind him, barely missing the three.
"Hey! Watch where you're throwing, man!" Holt yelled out with his arms flailing.
His reaction caused Ty to turn with a snarl. "You want say that to my-" He blinked before his rage dissipated. "Oh….it's you guys." The boy jumped before landing in front of them. "How did you guys know I was here?"
"You could say a birdie told us." Twilight answered.
Ty gave a sigh as he took a seat on a rock. "I can't go back there."
"You know you can't run from this forever." His sister explained while sitting next to him.
Her brother gave a sigh. "I'm done with this. I'm done with being their son. I just want to be free of this family."
His friend, fiance and sister gasped slightly. "Ty, you can't mean that." Rosie spoke.
"I am." He growled slightly. "They've done nothing for me and Twilight but give us the Paleo name that ruined our lives for so many years. All I wanted was to be a normal family, but look! We were born from a rich house! They never focused on us! Only the fucking company!" Tears slowly formed in his eyes. "Would it kill for them to at least spend one day with us!? Maybe even on our birthday or Christmas!? Nothing was normal for me! All because of being rich! I fucking hate it!" As he teared up Holt and Twi noticed Rosie beginning to shake where she stood. The pinkette started sniffing with small puddles forming on the rocks at her feet.
She clenched her fists before screaming. "YOU IDIOT!" Without warning she slapped Ty hard across the cheek. The force caused the sound to echo out and knocked the boy off his seat. "You think I wanted this life too!? You're not the only one who's suffered! My own parents never acknowledged me when it started! Not even the times I was hurt and alone! I had no one but my shadow! Don't talk shit like that, that you're the only one who's suffered of being a fucking rich kid!" She dipped her head as more tears flowed at a faster rate. "Besides...if it wasn't for them, you wouldn't have made it to this island. I never would have found the one person I love with all my heart…"
Ty slowly looked up while holding his cheek where she slapped him. The anger once burning reduced to nothing but embers. Pain and sadness flooded him now as he looked down and softly sobbed with his tears flowing. "I….."
"Promise me…" Rosie choked out with her sobs. "Promise me you'll never say you wish you were never born into your family again."
The young man choked on his sob as he nodded slowly, not looking up. "I...promise…."
Rosie cried harder before lunging at him and hugged him tightly. "If you really thought that...that would mean...you never would have wanted to meet me…"
"N...no...I don't mean that…" Ty whimpered as he buried his face into her shoulder. "I...I was just furious….I'm sorry...I'm so sorry…"
The couple stayed in each other's embrace for a while until they finally pulled apart. When they did, Twi dropped something in Ty's lap. "You might want to put that back on. I fixed it up for you."
Her brother picked up the object to find it was the pendant Duna gave him. "Thanks, Sis." He spoke with a very small smile before putting the pendant on as he was in his human disguise. "So...what now?"
Twi gave a smile. "We need to go back. Diggins is trying to build a new teleporter. Might be easier if he had help from a certain gear head." Her eyes widened. "Ah crap! We never told your other girlfriends that you came back! They're probably still looking for you!"
"Then we better get back." Ty nodded as he stood. The four left the island after Tyrant apologized to Vivian about the damages and left for the island. They quickly made their way back and went to the hotel before taking the elevator and got to the top level. Ty quickly unlocked and opened the door to find Zoe, Peggy, Bailey, and June sitting with teary eyes on the couch. Nevada was standing alone as she stared out the window with her arms crossed.
"...Hey girls." The boy finally spoke as he prepared for what comes next. Instantly their heads snapped up as they turned in his direction.
"TY!" Immediately, he was greeted by the girls tackling him in a huge group hug while he was smothered in their chests. The male fighter stood there and tried to hug and comfort them.
They finally let go of him after a few minutes as they dried their tears for. "Where the hell have you been? We were worried sick about you." Nevada scolded.
"Sorry about that. Wasn't anticipating getting abducted by aliens." Ty sighed.
"Aliens?" June asked. Ty sighed again and had the girls take seats before he explained what happened in the night he was taken.
"So the same girl that captured you in the first place was the one who snuck you off the ship?" Zoe asked.
"She didn't have any choice." Ty explained. "She was only following orders by her king...who also happens to be her father."
The others remained quiet until Peggy spoke up. "You mean that you got kidnapped by a princess?"
"...yeah." The fighter nodded while rubbing his head.
"Wow...you usually read these stories as it happening the other way around." June noted.
"Huh? What are you saying?" Ty asked curiously.
The red haired girl giggled. "Oh nothing."
"Riiiight." He rolled his eyes playfully before standing. "Either way, I can't stay long. Once Diggins has the teleporter up and running, I need to return to their ship and stop them before…"
"Before what?" Nevada asked.
"...before they put their plan into action by bringing us to extinction." He finally answered.
Hearing this caused the girls to pale. "H-how can that even be possible?" June gulped.
"Remember those idols I had in my room?" His question made them nod. "They're made of cosmonite, the metal my family has used for years. They're also machines, advanced ones at that. They're keys to a device or another large machine on their ship. When all four are used together, they have the power to eliminate the human race."
Silence filled the room before Nevada stepped forward. "Well, then for all our sakes I hope you can prevent that from happening."
"I will stop them. Besides, Holt, Twilight and Diggins will be joining me." Ty assured.
Bailey breathed before hugging the boy tightly. "Just...don't get captured or killed." The fighter nodded as he returned the embrace. The others joined the hug as well, giving their wishes and luck to their loved one.
Ty's watch beeped as he released the girls and answered it, it was Diggins. "Ty, I finished the teleporter. Meet me at the warehouse underground. Holt and Twilight will be there as well."
"Roger that, I'll be there shortly. Make sure you have everything you'll need." Tyrant responded. He hung up, bid his goodbyes to the girls and left the room. He quickly made his way to the fossil center as Wendy spoke.
"My husband is looking for you." She pointed to the door at the end of the hall. "Take that door and make a right. There's an elevator that'll take you to the bottom level to the warehouse."
"Thank you, Wendy." Tyrant smiled before walking away and pushed the button to call the elevator. It opened up and he stepped in. A moment later, he came to the warehouse area as Diggins was making final preparations to the portal with Holt and Twilight at his side.
Diggins turned as he stood. "Glad you're here. The teleporter only had enough juice for one travel. But, I made the modifications needed for us to return. I pinpointed the coordinates for the teleporter from the dinaurian ship to here. Once we step into their portal, we should be back here with no problem."
Ty nodded. "Alright, mind if I have the old teleporter if you're all set with it?" Diggins nodded. Ty turned to his sister and pulled Frigi's medal out. "Okay sis, you ready? Time to blend in as Dinaurians." Twi held out Igno's medal before the two legendary vivosaurs flooded the room with light. When it died the four humans resembled members of the alien race. Ty had been changed into an allosaurus based Dinarian, while both Twi and Holt resembled triceratops. Diggins resembled his favorite vivosaur, stegosaurus.
"Very impressive." Diggins breathed while examining his new form. "This is definitely something to study on when we get back." Ty chuckled slightly until the four stepped into the portal. Diggins pulled out a button device from his pocket. "Alright everyone...here...we...GO!" Pushing the button, the teleporter hummed to life as orange rings surrounded them until they phased into nothing.
Seconds passed before the human infiltrators reappeared on the portal platform of the dinarian mothership. The scientist looked among the group and breathed. "Good, we made it here in one piece." They nodded in agreement before they heard footsteps approach and saw the same dinaurian from before.
"Welcome back home, friends." The being greeted. "Well, home till we finish the mission that is." He glanced about the group with a tilted head. "Hmmmm, there's another one…? Weren't there only three of you?"
"There were." Ty spoke and motioned to Holt and Twilight. "These two found me in the deep ends of the ocean, surrounded by these fish that the humans call denture sharks. I would've been fish food if they didn't find us in time."
The dinarian nodded with a sigh. "Well that's good to hear. We've lost too many of our people as it is. We don't need anymore falling victim to the local wildlife." He turned and started walking away before stopping. "And one more thing, after the humans are eradicated, his majesty wants us all to be at the throne room for the ceremony."
Holt blinked. "Er, what ceremony was that again?"
"The engagement of princess Duna and the elite warrior Raptin. The king announced this a while ago." The dinaurian spoke before walking off.
When he was out of earshot Ty breathed. "Duna never mentioned anything about her being engaged."
"Maybe for a good reason." Twilight spoke. "From the way she interacts with that jerk, maybe she doesn't like him the way she likes you."
"Perhaps, but we can't focus on that now. Let's just get what we came here for and leave." Her brother sighed. The group moved forward as they attempted to navigate the ship. They passed a few dinaurians until they reached a large room. "Whoa, never seen technology like this before."
They stopped in front of a window that showed a chamber with several Dinarian shaped statues lying on beds. "What do you think these are?" Holt wondered.
"I'm not sure." Twilight pondered. "But maybe these are statues of the ones that were lost . Maybe they carved statues of them to remember them by."
"That's possible." Dr. Diggins nodded before seeing a device nearby. "Guys, look at this." They saw him walk to the device and joined him. There was a pad of some kind with buttons. "This looks like some kind of keypad for a computer."
Both Ty and Diggins stepped closer. "Think we can get any useful info?" Ty asked.
"If it had a screen..." The scientist spoke as he pressed a button. Immediately, a large green holographic screen popped up with information written in some language.
"Uh doc." Holt spoke. "Perhaps try in english."
"Right. Give me a sec." He started pushing the keys on the board until the language was translated to english. "Here we go. Let's see here...We have finally found what we have been looking for at the far reaches of space. This world will fulfill all of the requirements for Project: Mother Planet. The seeds of intelligent life have been planted. Now, we simply have to wait for them to grow…"
The humans paused for a minute or two. "Project mother planet? Seeds of life? What are they talking about?" Ty breathed.
"I'm not sure, but it has to be something to do with the idols..." Diggins replied before he saw something. "Wait, I found something else...We shall wait in our fossilized forms in the stone sleep chamber until the time is right.."
"Wait, so those are sleeping dinarians?" Twi asked in awe as they looked at the stone statues in the chamber.
"They made technology to put themselves in stone sleep...like freezing cryo chambers…" Ty spoke in amazement. "...I totally have to get the blueprint for this."
"We'll get to that later." Diggins spoke. "Right now, we need to move on before the dinaurians get suspicious of us."
"Ah man, fine." Tyrant grumbled in disappointment before deactivating the screen. The group moved on as they passed through more rooms filled with fossilized aliens. "How many do you think are on the ship?"
"Hundreds maybe." Hot theorized as Diggins walked to another computer.
"This computer might hold different information for us. Give me a second to open it and translate to english." Fingers danced around the keys as the screen appeared and the language was translated. "Okay, let's see here...We created special computers to coordinate our project-a main idolcomp and the four sub idolcomps. The sub-Idolcomps assist the main idolcomp. As we wait in stone sleep, the main idolcomp will carefully monitor activity on the planet. If any life form follow an unanticipated evolutionary path, the main idolcomp will correct them.."
"Looks like we were right. Those small idols appear to be needed to power a larger one. One that seems to be able to manipulate evolution itself." Ty noted.
"Scary…" Twi shivered as Holt rubbed her back.
"More of a reason to stop them before it's too late. Let's keep moving." He spoke. They nodded and pressed on, following the path around the ship. When they finally took another turn, they made it to a large door that radiated purple energy.
"This door must lead to the idols.." Ty spoke as he stepped forward.
"Hold it." A voice spoke as they jumped a bit to see a dinaurian approach. "Did you guys miss the space memo? King Dynal has given strict orders to stay out of the idolcomp room. If you guys get caught going in there, you'll have to deal with the roboguards...the dinomatons. Nobody wants that, so you'd best find somewhere else to be." With his words, he walked off.
"So were going in right?" Holt grinned.
"Definitely." Ty nodded. "And if we have face these dinomatons, we have some back-up vivosaur power." They nodded and entered the room. The chamber was massive compared to other rooms they visited. The ground and walls were purple with energy radiating through veins. In the center of the back wall was a massive idol with the four familiar idols hooked to four pedestals. "Alright Doc, your turn. Pick any one and let's take it."
"Right." Diggins walked up and examined the large idol. "Truly fascinating." He moved to one of the smaller idols and chose the blue one. Before he could start disconnecting the device, they heard footsteps approaching. "Someone's coming." The man spoke quickly. The teenagers scurried behind the pedestals seconds before the doors opened. As Ty peeked around he groaned in his head that the two people entering were Dynal and Duna.
"Father, I know you want me to marry Raptin, but why him? Why not someone I love than a male chosen to be my husband?" Duna asked.
"Dearest daughter." Dynal sighed as he strolled further into the room. "With our numbers as low as they are from our homeworld's cruel fate, we must focus on building up our numbers and ensuring stronger offspring for the future generations. Raptin is the best male warrior we have. Cunning and strong in battle. He is an ideal mate to provide you with young."
"But father-" Duna tried to speak.
"No buts Duna." He spoke as he turned to her. "I know this is hard, but you need to follow our code. Besides, you know I am aging fast, and I will soon pass. Not only will Raptin be your mate, but he will be the newest king of your generation. With you as his queen, our people will be stronger than ever. Please, do this for me, and for the future of our people."
Ty glanced at his sister who made eye contact with him. "Can you believe this? I thought humans were the only dumb ones to force marriage. Good grief." He mouthed. Twi nodded in agreement.
Duna on her end lowered her head and clenched her fists, but gently nodded. "..yes, father...I understand."
Dynal smiled and gently hugged her. "In time you will be happy for this." He turned to the idolcomps and breathed. "At long last, we can finally rebuild and take what is ours. Earth has lost its ways in evolution. It is time we fix that." The king turned to his daughter. "Duna, as my daughter and the future queen, you have the honor of flipping the switch."
Duna gulped as she sweated a bit before nodding. "...okay." She slowly approached the main idolcomp as a holographic button appeared on it.
As her hand slowly moved closer, Ty's eyes widened. "No...Duna please, don't do it…" He breathed.
"You hesitate." Dynal spoke gently, yet slightly firm. "Push the button." Duna took a shaky breath and moved ever closer. As it almost reached her, memories of Ty flooded her mind, the day she met him, the time she saw him smile, how he cared for her...and when he saved her life.
"...no...this is wrong!" She pulled her hand back and faced her father. "I'm sorry father..I won't do it."
Ty sighed until he heard a brief growl from the king. "What did you say?"
"What we are doing is taking the planet that belongs to the humans." Duna started. "They are not as vile and small brained as we believe. They are intelligent and strong creatures like us. We have no right to kill them and take what was theirs." The girl took a step forward and slightly glared at Dynal. "I'm sorry father, but I respectfully request to shut down Project: Mother Planet."
Dynal clenched his teeth as he approached her. "I gave you the honor of being the one to finally give our people a new homeworld, and you spit in my face." He stood directly in front of her with a glare. "If you won't do what is necessary for our race to survive then you leave me with no choice." He shoved her to the side and continued for the button.
"He's gonna push it." Holt whispered.
"Guys," Diggins spoke, "if I can disconnect the idol before he does, we can stop it. But I need you three to buy me some time." The three fighters nodded as they jumped out from their hiding spots as Dynal froze when he saw them.
"What are you three doing here? This area is off limi-" He froze before speaking again. "No matter, you three came at a perfect time. Take my daughter to the cells and I'll speak to her later." The three turned to Duna as she stared at the three disguised figures. However, they looked back at Dynal, glaring and stepped forward.
"Sorry, Scaley, not this time." Ty growled.
The king arched a brow in confusion. "Scaley? The last time I heard that insult was from-" His eyes widened before he moved closer. "Ah, I see you somehow managed to escape your cell, Tyrant."
The aura of the legends vanished, revealing him, his sister and friend in their human forms. "I brought back-up." Ty growled.
The king glanced at the other two and sighed. "I gave you a choice and yet you still wish to defy me. I see that now I'll have to let Raptin take your sister to breed for us as well."
Holt growled, stepping in front of her. "You lay one claw on my girlfriend, I'll tear you apart, asshole!"
"Hmmm." Dynal faced Holt as a chuckle escaped his lips. "You truly know not what you are dealing with here."
"Maybe not," the blonde spoke, "but if it means protecting my friends, family and loved ones, I'll fight even if it kills me!"
His statement caused Dynal to go silent as his gaze hardened. "At least I can agree with one thing you humans say. I too have my people that I must protect. Even if that means killing you three." He snapped his fingers as three silver colored coins dropped from the ceiling. "Farewell humans." In a flash of light, three dinomatons appeared and screeched at the three.
"Ready guys!?" Ty spoke while holding Frigi's medal.
"Ready!" Called back Twi and Holt.
"Frigi, show them your might as master of ice!" Ty roared as he summoned his ice legendary who bellowed upon arrival.
"Igno, burn them to hell!" Twilight called as her fire T-rex emerged from the flames and roared.
"V-Raptor, shred them apart!" Holt shouted as he summoned his speeding silent hunter as she screeched in between the two legends.
"Your resistance is futile." Dynal sighed. "Tear them apart, dinomatons." His three robotic lizards roared before sprinting towards their victims.
"Frigi, Sub-Zero Stomp!" Ty called. The ice vivosaur bellowed and slammed her feet to the ground, covering the ground in ice as the robots slipped and fell.
"Igno, use Bursting Flames!" Twi called. The fire rex roared and blasted the robots with a stream of fire. The Dinomatons screeched in pain as some of their armor melted revealing their circuits and gears.
"V-Raptor, aim within the robots! Lethal Poison!" Holt commanded. The feet of the silent predator stepped around the ice, using her claws for support until she slashed, kicked and blasted toxic wind inside the robots. Once more they screeched in pain before the lights in their eyes flickered and they fell motionless to the ground. Holt grinned and threw his fist in the air. "We did it!"
The three cheered as Duna approached them. "You three defeated the dinomatons...I knew I was wrong about you all...you humans are incredible."
Across the room, Dynal was seething with anger. "You wretched humans. I will capture you myself and this time make sure you never leave!" He was about to step forward until a zap and clank echoed from behind him. "What?!"
"Phew, finally got it." Diggins sighed happily with the idol at his feet.
"Way to go Diggins!" Ty cheered.
"You fool!" Dynal shouted. "Do you have any idea what you've done!?"
"Not really, no." Diggins replied as red lights flashed with horns blaring. "What's going on!?" Orange rings suddenly surrounded the scientist as he cried out in panic, Seconds later, he and the idol vanished into the air.
"Doc!" The three remaining humans cried out.
"Looks like the energy from the idol has sent him through time." Dynal spoke before gasping. "No! He had the idol with him! I need to track him." He pulled up a screen and pressed some keys on a holographic board. "...he's been sent back 150 million years..in the Jurassic period...Blast!" He punched the wall nearby.
Tyrant's head dipped at the loss of his friend. "After all this, you're still nowhere near accomplishing your goal. I hope you're happy with yourself." The fighter spoke bitterly.
Dynal turned with an enraged scowl. "You have enraged me for the last time." The gem on his neck glowed. "Now you and your pathetic humans will face my true wrath!"
While Tyrant glared at the king, Duna rushed for the trio and embraced them tightly. "No!" She screamed before teleportation rings encircled her and the others. In a flash, they vanished.
"Duna…" The king growled as the gem's glow faded. "...you will pay for your betrayal." He turned and saw many of his high elite dinaurians enter. "Hear me, my loyal dinaurians! The idol has been stolen from us! Without it, we can't continue with Project: Mother Planet! I have chosen you for a reason! Head to the surface of the planet and find the idol! Do not engage battle unless needed! And when you find Tyrant Paleo, report to me immediately! Now go!" The elite saluted their king and moved out.
Raptin stepped forward. "What happened, your majesty?"
"Duna..she betrayed us and our people, and sided with the humans." He answered. "My own flesh and blood, turned against me…"
"What do we do then? Will the wedding still commence?" Raptin asked.
"Yes." He nodded. "Even as such, we need to for the duty of our people. Raptin, this assignment is very critical to you. Find Duna and bring her back. Keep her unharmed though."
"And Tyrant?" Raptin questioned further.
"Bring him to me alive, as for the rest of the humans, do not let them stand in your way to completing the mission." Dynal spoke firmly.
"Understood, my king." Raptin bowed slightly as he too left to room. Dynal sighed softly as he looked away, in hopes that everything will turn up eventually.
