In the Swiss Alps of Switzerland, a herd of goats was grazing on the grass in a small field. One of the goats was sniffing a capsule on a small crack in the mountain. The goat stood up and tried to get a better look, only to knock the capsule away with its nose. The capsule rolled down the hill before landing right in front of the goat, which responded by kicking the capsule away. The capsule opened in the air and two cards landed on the ground. The wind blew and the grass swayed against the cards, and they started to glow green. The goats backed away as a dinosaur appeared.
The dinosaur was a hadrosaur like Paris, but lacked the large crest on its head. It was pink on its legs and the top of its body, while the rest of its body was tan. Its bill was a blackish color that looked like it was burnt. It also had a small spine on its back that had tan and pink stripes running down it. This dinosaur was a Maiasaura.
The Maiasaura reared up and roared at the goats. They all tensed up before the large hadrosaur turned around and began digging.
(Intro Theme)
"This season's fashion is so hot, I'll be the hippest villain in the criminal world!" Ursula cheered as she was shopping online. "This would look great on me, and this, and of course this!" She said as she continuously put many dresses on her shopping cart. Once she finished, she started typing in some numbers. "All I have to do now is enter the company credit card number and voila, purchasing!" She sang as she pushed the button.
Immediately after she did, another hand went onto the keyboard and typed in something before the window closed and the desktop background was in view. "Canceled?!" Ursula exclaimed in despair. "What's the big idea?!" She asked as she turned to however ruined her purchase, and immediately froze when she saw Helga looking at her sternly.
"No spending of company money on personal things!" She scolded the greenette.
"But it's an emergency!" Ursula whined. "You really expect a trendsetter like me to wear the same thing every day! Hmm?!" She then began to break down into tears. "It's a cruel and unfashionable punishment!" She said through her sobs.
Helga was not convinced. "Pretending to cry will not help." She simply said as she turned away. Ursula ceased her crocodile tears and slumped over in defeat.
On the other side of the room, Zander and Ed watched in amusement while they were doing their own things. "I love it when somebody else gets in trouble." Zander said as he and Ed chuckled to themselves. Their laughter was cut short when they saw Helga standing over them, looking pretty pissed.
"And you keep your hands out of Dr.Z's candy!" She told Ed as he took away the bag of candy he was eating. "You need to start cleaning up after yourself." She told Zander as she vacuumed up the device he was working on. In a matter of seconds, the table was spotless. Zander and Ed could only sob in defeat. Why were they the punching bags of the universe?
"Listen up!" Dr.Z said as he barged into the room. "A new dinosaur's appeared! Everyone to the control room!" He ordered.
After hearing this, the trio got to their feet and ran out in a second, most likely to get away from Helga. "Where is it?" Ursula asked before naming locations. "Paris?! Milan?! Somewhere with good shoe stores?!"
"Well, it is in Europe." Zander said as he got a closer look at the map. "But it appears to be in Switzerland."
"The Swiss Alps to be exact." Dr.Z confirmed.
"You mean mountains?" Ursula groaned as she slumped over in defeat again. "What'll I buy there, a snowboard? Gee, I can't wait to model my new thermal underwear." She complained.
"And that's not even the best part!" Dr.Z told them, ignoring Ursula's petty complaints. "I've already booked your flight! Just wait till you see, first-class all the way!" He exclaimed.
Ursula's eyes turned to money signs while Zander and Ed looked confused. "Eh, how exactly are we getting a plane ride when we live on an island in the Pacific?" Zander asked.
"You'll have a boat ride to the airport." Dr.Z explained. "And since I was feeling generous enough to give you professional transportation I expect something in return!" He told them.
"Aye, aye, Doctor!" Both men saluted.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Zoe exclaimed as she looked around the Taylor Household. The whole place looked like a tornado ran through it. Food, clothes, and all sorts of trash were littered all over the place. "How disgusting can these boys be?" She asked herself.
"Now you know why I always ask to stay at your place when Mrs. Taylor leaves for a day." Zoe turned to see Rex washing a dirty bowl in the sink. Ace was helping him by carrying other dishes to where he was on his head. "Hey, Zoe. I was hoping we'd clean up before you showed up."
"Rex, what happened?" Zoe asked before she immediately realized the answer to her own question. "Oh, right, Mrs. Taylor is still not back yet." She face-palmed at her stupidity. "When was she supposed to return?"
"Tomorrow night." Rex responded without looking up from his dishes.
Zoe's eyes widened in horror. "And you guys made all this in one night?!" Zoe exclaimed. "I expected this from Max and Dr. Taylor, but you, Rex?! You're the one I can rely on to keep this place clean!"
Rex sighed before turning to his friend. "Sorry, Zoe. Max, Chomp, Terry, and Dr. Taylor decided to celebrate their freedom last night. I, on the other hand, had homework to work on and all the noise kept me from finishing it."
"Even with my help it still took a long time. I think it was past midnight when we finished." Ace told her.
Rex nodded to confirm Ace's statement. "We didn't have dinner, so we made ours and ate before we fell asleep. I was so tired I forgot to clean my dishes, which is what I started doing before you showed up."
Spiny looked around and noticed something missing. "Where's Tank?"
"I took her to the D-Lab so she can spar with Coal before I did my homework. I must have forgotten to pick her up." Rex explained. Ever since she came back from China, not too long ago, the Carcharodontosaurus had quickly found a friendship in Tank due to their similar love of battling. The two would normally spar in the lab's gym for hours on end.
"Hmph!" Zoe just huffed in anger. ""Looks like not even the ladies here are responsible enough. Paris, you and Spiny go play with Ace. Rex, you go and pick up Tank. I'm going to see a certain someone." Zoe said before she stormed off to Max's room.
When she burst into Max's room, the brunette was seen reading a comic in a pile of other junk he pulled out of his chest. "Hey! Haven't you ever heard of knocking?" Max asked as he looked up from his book.
Zoe wasn't taking any of this. "Oh, no you don't! Don't go changing the subject here! We're supposed to keep this house clean while your mom's away!" She scolded him. "What'd ya think?! I'm going to do it all?!" She asked as she threw her hands out in exaggeration.
"Well, isn't cleaning a girl thing." Max whispered to himself, loud enough for Zoe to hear.
Needless to say, it made it worse for himself. "Oh, you like having fun? Well then, how's this for fun? I'd better see this room spotless in ten minutes if you know what's good for you!" Zoe yelled before tossing some of Max's clothes on his face and slamming the door.
Max simply removed the shirt that was covering his face. "Are you at least going to pay me?" He asked.
"Your payment is that I don't hurt you!" Zoe responded from the other side.
"Ooh." Max could only sigh in defeat.

Meanwhile, the Alpha Gang had just arrived at the airport, and they were ready for first class. Zander and Ed currently had on suits while Ursula had on a pink dress. (I'm sure there's another name for the outfit, but I don't know clothing) All three had on shades while they strut through the crowd. "If you're gonna travel first class, you gotta look first class." Ed said as the three of them walked down the corridor to confirm their flight.
"That's right, people, take it all in." Zander told them as he noticed the attention they've gained.
Ursula raised her hand to stop her partners when she noticed the one in charge of the flight check-in. She walked over and leaned towards the man at the desk. When she spoke, her voice was soft and seducing. "Can I speak to the person in charge? It's important." She finished with a wink.
The man at the desk blushed and gulped. "Y-yes, ma'am! Right away!" He said before going to his boss.
A few minutes later the man in charge arrived and Ursula told him her situation. "You don't want to fly first class?" He confirmed.
"Well, it's not me I'm worried about." Ursula explained. "I'm just not sure the two I'm traveling with will fit in." She added a little shake with every word she made.
"Well, I do have one other plane." The man said before calling someone up.
All this time, Zander and Ed could just watch. "This is really embarrassing." Zander whispered to his partner. "I bet she wants a cheaper flight so she can get some of the money back.
"So she can spend it on clothes." Ed added. "This isn't very first class at all."
Soon, an old man with a gray beard, large, bushy mustache of the same color, bald head, and a pilot's uniform came walking by. "Well, here's the economy class pilot now, ma'am." The man at the desk said. Ursula turned and saw the pilot. Needless to say, she was a little creeped out by the unstableness in his eyes.
Soon, all four of them were on a small, old-fashioned, propeller driven plane with barely enough room for them all, ready to take off. Zander and Ed shared a seat, while Ursula sat in the way back. "Um, excuse me, Mr. Pilot sir?" Ursula asked as the plane took to the skies, her hair and Zander's flowing with the wind.
"Hmm?" Was all the pilot responded.
"Tell me. This plane seems a bit out off date. Are you certain it's up to code?" She asked.
"I don't know. Good question." Was all the pilot said in response.
The Alpha Gang all screamed in terror. "Waaah!"
"I've figured I've lived me a full life. If it's time for me to head to that big airport in the sky, I guess them's the breaks."
Ursula wasn't amused by his comment. "You may be done living, grandpa, but I'm not! So your last flight better be a solo one!" She yelled at him. "Now shape up and fly right." She ordered. "You do know where you're going, do you?"
"They said something about Swiss cheese." The pilot responded.
"No, it's the Swiss Alps!" Ursula corrected. Zander and Ed moved away to avoid her smacking them silly. "Anything else you don't know, you air-brained aviator!?"
The pilot stopped to think for a minute. "Well, now that you mention it, I may have forgotten to fill up on gas." Suddenly, the plane stopped and began to fall from the sky. Only for the pilot to laugh and start it up again. "Just kidding." He replied. The Alpha Gang were currently holding themselves in terror. This flight better be worth it.

With Paris, she, Chomp, Spiny, and Terry were currently helping with cleaning up the house. Paris and Chomp were pushing a large garbage bag to the bin, while Terry was sweeping the tables with his tail. Spiny had the job of cleaning up leftover food, wich was easy as he just ate whatever he found.
While cleaning the table in the living room, Terry came across the radio and decided to put on some music while they work. Pushing the play button, some rock music came on and all four of the dinosaurs started swaying along with the music. Paris eventually tried to sing along with the music. Problem is, she's not very good at it in both her normal voice and in her dinosaur voice. And she was singing along in her dinosaur voice, so it came off more as screeching than singing. Spiny was blissfully unaware of Paris' terrible singing and continued swaying, but Chomp and Terry sadly didn't have the same advantage and cringed at her poor singing. "Paris? Paris?" Chomp asked as he shook her slightly. "Please stop." But the Parasaurolophus was too distracted by singing to notice Chomp's attempts to get her attention. Eventually, seeing this was going nowhere Chomp decided to bite down on Paris' tail. "Shut up!" He said as he did so.
"Ooow!" Paris screamed in pain as she shook her tail to get Chomp off. But Chomp didn't let go as he didn't want Paris to start singing again.
All of Paris's screaming got the attention of Zoe. "What's going on here?" She asked as she came into the room. She looked and saw what Chomp was doing to her partner. "Chomp! What are you doing to Paris?!" She said as she grabbed the little Triceratops and pulled him away from Paris.
"Her singing was so awful, it was distracting us while we worked." Chomp answered.
"So you decided to bite her tail instead of asking her nicely to stop." Zoe said. Chomp was about to retort but Zoe beat him to it. "And you simply couldn't try a little harder, could you?" Chomp just lowered his head, whimpering like a puppy, and hoped Zoe would find it cute. Needless to say, she wasn't amused. "Don't play that trick on me!" She said before she noticed Terry trying to sneak away and grabbed his tail. "Don't try and make it harder for yourself, Terry! You guys are acting just as bad as your owner." She said with a sigh. "Can you just try and not make a bigger mess?"
Before they could answer, she heard something from outside. "Heyaaah!" Zoe looked outside and saw Spike swinging a lasso around. "I got ya now, varmint!" He said before he released the lasso, only for it to go around the tree behind him instead of the post he was aiming for. "Hmm. I'd say it needs work." Spike told himself as he looked at his hands. "But if any other furniture tries to escape we'll know I can catch that easily." He said trying to cheer himself up as he looked at the lamp and bench he also lassoed. "This time I gotcha!" He said before he swung his lasso at the target again. "Yahh!"
This time the lasso landed right around Zoe. "Zoe! I'm sorry!" Spike apologized as he noticed where it landed this time. "At least it's not a shrub." He said jokingly trying to lighten the mood.
"Dr. Taylor, what are you doing?" Zoe asked.
"Trying out my lasso skills. I'm thinking if I can master this bad boy I can capture dinosaurs without hurting them. Nice plan, right?" He asked with a grin.
Zoe responded by simply removing the lasso from her head and sighing. "Ooh, Just come with me."
At the same time, Rex finally returned with a struggling Tank. "It's not my mess! Why am I being punished?!" She said as she kept on trying to get free.

Eventually, everyone was gathered in the dining room to await Zoe's instructions. "OK, everyone. We are going to make this place completely spotless, right?"
"Yes." The three boys replied, although Max and Spike responded more depressed than Rex.
Zoe nodded and looked over to Chomp and Tank, who were struggling to get their tails free from under Spiny's feet. "Chomp, Tank, You guys have ten more minutes of detention then you can go."
"Should I use the rubber glove?" Spiny asked.
"Only if they get out of line." Zoe told him before she went back to the others. "I'm going to clean the kitchen. You guys work here, and no funny business 'cause I will know." She gave a huff before walking towards the kitchen with her hands on her hips. Paris followed from behind, but not before giving the group a sorry look.
Tank looked at Chomp and they both silently came up with a plan. "Hey, Spiny." Chomp whispered. "I'm pretty sure the bathroom's pretty messed up, and I'm positive Zoe would appreciate it if you cleaned it up for her."
"Hmm. You're right! That's more important than watching over you guys." The Spinosaurus said before he went off to clean the bathroom
"Man, Zoe's even worse than mom." Max said once he was positive Zoe and Spiny were out of earshot.
"I agree." Tank replied. "Who made her queen of the house?"
Spike, who was currently sweeping, chuckled in response. "I don't know, Max, your mom can be pretty fierce at times. All women have a little something called maternal instinct."
"Maternal instinct? What's that?" Spiny asked, appearing from nowhere and disappearing once he got his answer.
"A good mother wants to be strong and protect her children. That's why Zoe's being so bossy." Spike explained as he swung his broom and handed it to Max.
Rex and Ace just looked at each other before the Carnotaurus spoke up. "That is, without a doubt, the dumbest theory I've ever heard." He told Spike.
"Wha! Why?!" Spike asked as Ace's words stuck his ego hard.
"Zoe's not a mother, she's not even in a relationship. How can she have maternal instincts if she doesn't have kids?" Ace told Spike. Spike could only slump in defeat. Another theory crushed by reality.
"Ace is right. Zoe just has bossy instincts." Max replied.
"I would say she more sees herself as the matriarch of our group." Ace responded, ignoring how that kind of proves Spike's earlier point he just insulted.
"Well, I must head to the laboratory." Spike said as he went towards the door.
"Dr. Taylor, I know Zoe's being extremely bossy." Rex told him. "But ditching your work will only prove to her that she was right."
Spike stopped immediately as he realized he was caught, and quickly tried to come up with a lie. "N-no, I'm not ditching work. Me and Max just have very important family business to take care of at the lab. Right, Max?"
Max quickly caught onto his father's plan. "Y-yeah! Lots of important D-Team stuff to finish!"
Rex looked at them unconvinced. "The answer is still no." He told them.
"Traitor!" Tank suddenly exclaimed. "That's it! Mutiny!" She said before she and the others charged at Rex and Ace.
A few minutes later, Zoe and Paris came into the kitchen when they heard the sound of struggling. "What's going on?!" Zoe asked. She was shocked to see a knocked-out Ace, and Rex tied up and gagged to a chair. "Rex!" She exclaimed as she went to untie him. "What on earth happened! Was it the Alpha Gang!?"
"No." The blonde replied once he took the gag out when his hands were free. "Max, Dr. Taylor, and the others decided to fly the coup."
Rex immediately covered his ears as he knew what was about to happen. "NO WAY!" Zoe exclaimed before she grabbed Rex in one hand, and Paris and Ace in the other. "WHEN I FIND THEM THEY'RE GOING TO WISH THEY WERE NEVER BORN!" She screeched as she dragged Rex away to find them.
All the way, Rex asked for Zoe to let go of his hand before she broke it. "Zoe, I kind of need my arm to function! Please give it back!"
Moments later, Spiny entered the room. "Hey, guys, the toilet's not swallowing. What should I do?" He looked around to notice the house was empty. "Guys?" He asked over and over as he looked for them. "I'm home alone." He said to himself as he realized his situation. "Welp, only one thing to do." Seconds later, Turn Down For What was blasting out of the radio as fireworks came out of the house. Anyone walking by could have sworn the house was bouncing up and down.

Back in Switzerland, the goats have become accustomed to the Maiasaura and began treating her like one of their own. The herbivore had also laid an egg which one of the goats stepped forward to lick it. The Maiasaura didn't see it as a threat and allowed the goat to do so, so long as the egg wasn't harmed.
Soon a loud noise came from the sky. They all looked up to see the plane the Alpha Gang was in flying towards them. Soon the engine of the plane started to stop as the propeller started to stop and even had smoke coming put of it. The pilot took notice of this. "Looks like we have a problem." He said before searching for something.
"What kind of problem?" Ursula responded.
The pilot responded by grabbing his parachute before turning around and saluting to them. "Farewell and good luck." He said before jumping out of the plane. The Alpha looked over the side to see that their pilot ditched them in their time of need.
All three of them immediately paled. "What're we supposed to do now?! First, there's no lunch, and now this thing's gonna crash!" Ursula yelled in fear and anger.
"Not to mention he took the only parachute!" Zander added just as the front started to combust.
"We'll just have to jump without one and hope for a miracle!" Ed said before leaping over the side. "Geronimooooooo!" He cried as he fell.
"If we die, I hope you're in hell!" Zander said to Ursula before joining Ed, realizing he had no choice but to take the chance.
"Don't you boys know the rules! Beautiful women and children first!" Ursula said before joining them.
"Aaah!" The trio screamed as they fell, trying to flap their arms to slow down the fall. "Flap for all your worth!" Zander desperately exclaimed. Thankfully, they landed on some trees and that broke their fall. OK, not the best luck, but at least they survived.
The plane continued to fall from the sky before the engine began to catch fire. The goats ran away in fear while the Maiasaura had to stay and defend her egg. She gave a loud roar of despair as the plane looked like it was about to crash right on top of her egg.

Max and Spike were currently walking to the D-Lab when Max's Dino Holder started to blink, indicating a dinosaur has appeared. Thankfully for them, they were right outside the D-Lab when it happened. "Come on!" Spike said before he and the others ran into the lab.
Once inside, they saw Reese looking at the map to determine the location. "The signal is coming from the Swiss Alps." Reese confirmed.
"Alright, let's get going." Max said to the other dinosaurs. He soon felt Chomp tug at his leg.
"Uh, Max? Shouldn't we wait for Rex and Zoe? I still feel bad for ditching them and tying Rex up." Chomp said.
"We don't have time to wait. They'll come after us when they arrive." Tank told Chomp. "You'll tell them right, Dr. Taylor?" She asked.
"I sure will." He confirmed before holding out his lasso. "Maybe you all could use the lasso? It might come in handy."
"Nah, I think we're good. See ya, Dad." Max said before he and the three dinosaurs teleported away.

When they arrived in the mountains, the first thing they saw was the Maiasaura was right on top of them. "Aaah!" They all screamed as it looked like the pink hadrosaur was about to crush them.
"Max, do something!" Terry said as he hid behind him.
"Got it! Let's go, Chomp!" He said before he got Chomp ready for battle.
"DINO SLASH! TRICERATOPS, ROAR!"
When Chomp appeared in front of her, the Maiasaura immediately stopped roaring. Knowing this intruder was a threat, she put a foot in front of her egg. Looking back to make sure it was still there she got ready to drive this attacker out.
DK
"How could they leave us behind!" Zoe shouted when Spike told her what happened a few minutes ago. Rex was currently sitting by a table, rubbing his hand and trying to soften the pain Zoe caused. Ace was now awake and standing next to Paris.
"Zoe, we would have wanted him to go ahead if we weren't here already." Paris said as she rubbed Zoe's leg. "If we go now, we can catch up to them."
"Maybe so, but that doesn't mean Max and the others aren't getting a piece of my mind! Let's go, Rex!" Zoe said. Rex got up and both he and Zoe pressed their buttons.
"Wait, you forgot the lasso!" Spike said as he ran up to the pad. But they were already gone. "No lasso? Maybe next time." He muttered to himself.

Chomp and the Maiasaura were currently locked in a head butting struggle, both trying to push the other one back. Deciding to use more force, both of them reared onto their hind legs and slammed into each other again causing a mass gust of wind when they collided.
With the Alpha Gang, they found themselves on a small hill and were currently climbing down from the trees they landed in. Their fancy clothes completely torn to shreds in the crash and were now in their regular, surprisingly unharmed, outfits. "My legs are sore." Ursula complained.
"Is that all? My whole body's sore." Ed added.
Zander was about to add his own thoughts when he noticed the battle below them. "The dinosaur! And it's fighting the Triceratops!"
Ursula and Ed looked down, and sure enough, saw Chomp and the Maiasaura still in a struggle. This made Ursula feel all better. "Perfect! We seemed to have crashed in the right place! I'll send in Gigas and get a dino-sized-two-for-one!" She cheered before summoning the Tyrannosaurus.
Once he appeared, Gigas already made his way to the battle. "Mind if I butt in?" He said before getting ready to leap down into battle. However, he soon noticed a small round object in the middle of the field; the egg. "Hello?" He said with interest.
The Alpha Gang noticed this object as well. "Is that an egg?" Ed asked.
"Well, if it is, I'd hate to see the chicken that laid that." Ursula commented. If she was seriously this oblivious to it being a dinosaur egg is anyone's guess.
Gigas decided to ignore the battle and began heading for the egg. Not with the intention to capture it, but to devour it. At the same time, Zoe and Rex arrived. "Look at that." Zoe said as she noticed the egg.
"It would appear that whatever dinosaur showed up was pregnant and laid an egg." Ace theorized.
Zoe looked around and noticed Gigas advancing towards the egg, and Chomp and the Maiasaura still battling. Zoe knew she had to do something or else Gigas would devour the egg. "Hey, Max, listen to me! That dinosaur's a mother protecting her egg!" She called out to Max.
Thankfully, Max was able to hear her. "An egg?" He asked no one in particular.
Terry sniffed the air a bit before picking up the egg's scent. "Yeah, I see it now. You need to call off Chomp, and let Maiasaura go and take care of it." He instructed.
Max nodded in understanding. "Hey, Chomp!" He called out to the Triceratops. "Leave her alone! Now you got to stop Gigas! Hurry!"
"What?!" Chomp yelled back while still fighting the Maiasaura. He couldn't clearly make out what Max was saying.
"Gigas is here! Stop him from eating the egg!" Max yelled, his face going red while doing so.
"I can't hear you!" Chomp answered before putting all his focus back into the struggle.
Seeing Chomp was clearly too distracted to stop him, Gigas slowly lowered his head down to devour the egg, licking his lips and drooling while he did so. "This'll be a meal to remember." He said before preparing to deliver the fatal bite.
Zoe noticed this and acted quickly. "You ready, Paris?!" She asked before getting her ready for battle.
"DINO SLASH! PARASAUROLOPHUS, BLOOM!"
"Knock him away from the egg!" Zoe ordered once Paris materialized.
The Parasaurolophus didn't need Zoe to tell her twice. She quickly ran towards Gigas as fast as she could and tackled him away from the egg, both of them landing on the ground. "Do you even realize what you were about to do?!" She asked the Tyrannosaurus as they both got up. "You were about to eat that baby!"
"It's called survival. I'd thought you'd have known that." Gigas answered as he shook the dirt off himself.
"That doesn't mean you should go around eating eggs! That's murder!" Paris said before she knocked Gigas away with her tail.
The force from both impacts was enough to cause the egg to roll out of its nest. "Ah!" Everyone gasped as the egg continued rolling until it rolled right off a cliff. When it did, it landed on the ground and continued rolling till it was stopped by a small rock. The minute it stopped, a small crack started to appear on it.
The Alpha Gang walked over to the cliff to see if the egg was still in one piece. "Look at that, it cracked." Ursula observed.
"And I'm really hungry." Ed said with a smile. "Think it'll look good sunny-side up?"
"Come to think of it, we haven't eaten anything all day. Not even a bag of peanuts on the plane." Zander told them.
"It would be a shame to just let it go to waste." Ursula said before they all finally craved in like Gigas. "Who wants eggs?" She rhetorically asked with a raised fist.
"We want some eggs!" The two men cheered while doing the same. "Let's go!" They all said before running down the hill to devour the egg.
With the D-Team, Max decided Chomp shouldn't battle anymore. "Chomp, no more battling with Maiasaura. Now come on back." He said before recalling him. Max swiped his card to call out Chomp mini-sized before asking him. "Why didn't you stop when I asked you to?"
"I couldn't make out what you were saying." Chomp replied.
The Maiasaura noticed her opponent left and quickly turned back to her nest. Only to realize the egg was gone. She had a surprised expression on her face before quickly running over to it. When it was one hundred percent positive the egg was gone, she gave out a loud roar of despair and anger.
"Um, she's looking pretty angry." Max said as he and the others backed away.
"Maiasauras were always known to be very protective mothers." Paris said getting in front of the team to protect them. "If anything harms their eggs, they'll go on a rampage in vengeance. Injuring, and sometimes even killing, any they find responsible."
"Whaaaaa!?" The kids screamed in horror
Paris's point was made when the Maiasaura looked at Gigas with murderous intents. She began to glow green before kicking dirt into Gigas's face. "Damn it!" Gigas cried out as he tried to remove the dirt from his eyes. The Maiasaura then leapt up into the air and slammed her head right onto Gigas' neck. The Tyrannosaur gave out a loud roar of pain.
"Wow, that thing just hit Gigas with a Diving Press." Ed observed before tripping on a rock. "Wa-ow! Oh!" Instead of simply falling over, Ed's round body made it so he was instead rolling down the hill.
"Well, that's one way to get down the hill quickly." Zander said.
"If you roll into that egg and break it you're toast." Ursula threaded.
"Mmm, toast." Ed said as he continued rolling.
The D-Team took advantage of the Maiasaura's rage and went to check on the egg. "Guys, the Alpha Gang's going after the egg!" Max told his teammates.
"We can't do anything from here." Rex said as he surveyed the situation.
"We have to do something!" Zoe urged.
Chomp and Terry looked down and seemed to have an idea. But before they could execute it, they all turned when they heard Gigas roar.
The Maiasaura tackled Gigas once more and sent him flying through the air. "Why me?!" He cried before he landed hard on the ground. He struggled to get up, but failed and returned to his card.
With Gigas defeated, Maiasaura quickly turned her attention to the next living thing in sight; Paris. The Parasaurolophus looked around and saw that she was the only one in sight. She quickly turned to the rest of the team and nudged them away. "Get out of here! It's me she wants!"
"But, Paris!" Zoe pleaded, trying to stop her best friend from sacrificing herself.
"I'll be fine, just grab the egg before the Alpha Gang does! If we return it she should calm down." She said before getting into a defensive position.
Zoe tried to argue again, but Max and Rex dragged her away, despite her best efforts to resist, before the Maiasaura charged straight towards Paris and head-butted her side. Paris fell over to the ground without any effort. She refused to fight her since she was at fault for her egg going missing.
Chomp and Terry took this opportunity to set their plan into action. They quickly ran to the cliff and jumped off of it. A bush managed to soften the fall, but it rolled them away from the egg in the process.
The Maiasaura walked over to the fallen Parasaurolophus and then began to lift her up with her head and threw her across the field. When she landed, Paris gave a cough before trying to reason with the raging dinosaur. "'Cough'! Please, Maiasaura. Your egg is fine. I didn't mean to harm it. Please forgive me." This only made the Maiasaura more angry as she charged straight towards her. Paris simply went limp and waited for the blow.
"Maiasaura! Paris didn't take your egg! It was me!" The Maiasaura turns and saw Zoe looking at her with bravery, but also fear in her voice and posture. The Maiasaura believed what Zoe said and turned her attention to the humans.
"Zoe, no!" Paris cried as she got back up to stop the Maiasaura. Her pain, however, was slowing her down.
As the pink hadrosaur got closer, Max decided to make a tough decision. "I guess Chomp will have to fight her after all." He said grimly before pulling his Dino Holder out.
But before anything, could happen a cry was heard. The whole world seemed to stop as they all tried to listen for that sound again. The cry was heard again and the Battlefield vanished as the Maiasaura's expression became a much more gentler one. The Maiasaura gave a soft roar in response to the cries that were heard.
"That sounds like a.." Zoe said before she and everyone else went over to the cliff and saw what made the cries. "It's a baby!" Zoe exclaimed as she and everyone else saw the little dinosaur and all its cute glory. Its color was similar to its mothers except it had purple where the pink was suppose to be. The baby Maiasaura gave off small babble which only made it even more adorable.
"The egg hatched. How cool is that?" Max whispered as he and the others looked at the baby dinosaur in amazement.
Tank had to admit the baby was pretty adorable. But her look soon turned to a much more serious one when she saw trouble. "It's the Alpha Gang." She said as she noticed them reach the bottom of the hill.
"Omelette, omelette, sunny side up! Scrambled, fried, and roast in a cup!" They sang as they approached the baby.
"Hmm, we'll need a frying pan." Ursula said to herself as Zander and Ed kept singing. Their expressions soon turned to one of disappointment when they noticed the egg was no more. "Oh, our egg hatched." Ursula whined.
"What'll we do now?!" Ed cried.
"I like my eggs firm, but this is just ridiculous. I refuse to eat that." Zander said firmly as he crossed his arms in an X fashion.
"But we can still catch it." Ursula said as she and the other two crept towards the baby, ready to grab it.
They didn't get the chance as soon Chomp and Terry arrived with an army of goats. They all arrived and soon stood in front of the egg protectively. The Alpha Gang backed away a bit at the angry looks they received. "Nice, little sheep." Ursula said as she lit her hands up to calm them down
"No, they're goats." Ed corrected her.
"Do you think I care?" She snapped before turning her attention back to the goats. "Just be gone, whatever you are."
The goats and dinosaurs didn't even budge a bit. "It would appear they're trying to tell us something." Zander suggested.
Ursula ignored his warning. "Too bad, be gone!" She said before attempting to shoo them away.
This was the signal for Chomp. "Charge!" He cried as he tackled Ursula.
"Aaaah!" Ursula screamed as Chomp bit her hand and dragged her dowm,
"Ah! Ursula!" Zander and Ed yelled before Terry attacked Zander from behind with a headbutt to the back. "Yeowww!"
Two of the goats then charged at Ed and rolled him away. "Baaaaah!" He screamed/bleated.
Already on the ground, Ursula felt crushing pain as Zander landed on her back. "Oww!" And once Ed landed it got even worse. "OWW!" Finally, the rest of the goats stampeded towards the trio and sent them flying away, spinning in their jumbled up mess.
"Chomp! Terry!" They both looked up to see Max and the others looking down at them with proud expressions. "Nice work, guys!" Max said as he gave them both a thumbs up. Terry and Chomp responded by giving roars of victory while the goats started jumping around.

After everything cooled down, the baby Maiasaura was able to reunite with his mother. The baby gave his mom's belly a rub while the mother responded by giving her child a lick.
The D-Team could only watch in silence as the scene played out. Suddenly, they all started glowing the colors of their respective stones. "Please." A voice said. "Take us back. We want to go home." They all looked up to see the Maiasauras looking at them with pleading eyes.
"We can do that." Max said. "Let's send them back to the card."
Zoe nodded in agreement. "Right, that way they can be together forever." She pressed a button on her Dino Holder and the two returned to their card. Zoe went to pick the card and Move Card up and smiled when she saw a picture of both dinosaurs on the card, together as a family.
"Huh, never heard a dinosaur speak like that without a stone before." Chomp said.
"Well, Tank and Spiny talked before we caught them." Terry said.
"Yeah, but the stones were right with them when they appeared." Paris said before she realized something. "Hey, where is Spiny?"
"He must not have been with us when we teleported." Rex said as he looked around.
Tank responded by tackling Zoe to the ground. "What have you done?! He can't be left unattended! He'll destroy our house!" She screamed.
DK
"H-h-how?!" Tank screamed as she looked around the house. The whole place was so spotless it was blinding. "You said you had a dance party! You said you used fireworks! How is this place so clean!?" The impossibility was beginning to hurt her brain.
"I must have been cleaning when I was partying." Spiny said in reply. Tank responded by hitting him on the head.
On the other side of the room, Spike was listening to what the kids experienced during the mission. "You saw a baby dinosaur hatch?" He asked with jealously. "Amazing. I sure wish I could have been there to see that."
"Yeah, and we saw how much mothers love their kids." Max said. "That's maternal instinct right?" He asked Rex.
"I guess so." The blonde said with a laugh. "That Maiasaura was ready to fight anybody for that egg."
"Exactly." Zoe said proudly, as she stood in front of the others with hands on her hips. "Because women are powerful. And unlike certain irresponsible boys, they don't run away from their duties." She said with a huff.
"But you run away from your duties all the time." Spiny said.
"What?! No, I don't!" Zoe said with a blush on her face. Everyone else looked at her, confused as to her sudden behavior change.
"But you always try and avoid cleaning your room as long as possible." Spiny continued. "You always give excuses like your back hurts or something."
"I never-"
"And when you do clean your room you just shove everything into the closet."
"Well, maybe a few years ago."
"A few years ago? This was yesterday." Spiny continued spilling the beans while Zoe kept trying to hide her embarrassment.
Max chuckled as the scene played out. "Hehe, not so much Ms. Responsible anymore, it seems." He wished the scene wouldn't end. This was so refreshing after hearing Zoe yell all day.
"And you have time to brush your hair, but your teeth apparently take too long."

At the D-Lab, the Maiasaura, now named Mia, was lying down while Salty and Coal were playing with her baby. "Isn't he a little cutie, Coal?" Salty asked as he let the baby play with his tail.
"Yeah, he's cute alright." Coal responded, trying to sound all cool, before looking at Mia. "So what's the little guy's name?"
Mia thought for a bit. "Well, since the goats helped me look over him, I think I'll call him Shep." She said before nuzzling the baby. "My little Shep."

With the Alpha Gang, they were currently walking down the mountain in defeat with their clothes all torn up. "I can't believe we have to walk all the way home!" Ursula shouted to the heavens, flailing her fists in the air.
"And to think we were supposed to travel in first class." Ed said.
"Before Ursula decided to trade it in for no class." Zander finished.
"Thank you." Ursula said sarcastically. "You've just reminded me that I haven't eaten all day. And Ed looks like a meatball." She said as she looked at the chubby man, drooling.
Ed gulped. "What?! Have you lost it?!" He exclaimed before running away from Ursula.
"Come back here you little roly-poly butterball! Just a nibble, I promise!" Ursula said as she chased after the meatball that was Ed.
Zander just watched the two and sighed. "At least if Ursula eats Ed, she won't be hungry for me. Oh, what's a guy have to do for a taxi around here?" He said before continuing down the mountain.
Next time on Dinosaur King:
Tommy: Today's theme is dinosaur kids trivia!
Spike: I'll hammer all of my dinosaur knowledge into your brains!
Dr.Z: I need that million dollars to fund my evil experiments!
Max: A dinosaur in the studio?
Zander: Activating Alpha Controller
Tank: It's about time!
A/N: Not much to say regarding this episode, other than this really is not one of my favorites. Zoe is just too bossy for my liking. The whole "Girl Power" message isn't a very good one anyway.
Though I do have somethings to clear up. One is why some of the dinosaurs can't speak until after captured. Well, like mentioned, they need the stones to communicate to the humans otherwise only the dino's can understand them.
Another is just a plot detail I forgot to mention that may or may not be important, but regarding the sanctuary, the reason it's able to function is because energy is stored from the stones like a battery. And they need to put the stones into the device so it can recharge or else it will vanish and the cards will be scattered everywhere. Thankfully only one stone needs to be in for the whole thing to charge completely, and every hour gives it power to last three whole days. More stones plugged in just gives it more time.
Anyway, see you guys next time.
