After arriving back at Zeta Point and telling Dr.Z the story about Utah's disappearance, the Alpha Gang misplaced the million dollars they earned. And like normal, Dr.Z was not at all happy about it.
At the moment, he was watching the episode of 'Gobble Gobble Brain Boggle' that the Alpha Gang was on when he addressed his minions. "Tell me again how you lost the dinosaur cards to those snotty kids? Not to mention the money!" He screamed. "I send you out on a simple mission and you come back with only one of the two things you had to acquire, and you lose it after two minutes! I can't take this humiliation anymore! It's infuriating!"
While the was going on, the A-Team was trying to sneak away from their lecture. "Do you what this makes me?!" Dr.Z asked them as he turned his attention towards his minions.
"Agh-a mad scientist?" They answered as they cowered in fear, Ursula and Zander using Ed as a meat shield. And they had good reason to when the doctor held up two electric rods in his hands.
"Negative results lead to negative energy." He told the trio. "And that's all I have gotten from you since these missions began, and I have a double dose of it right here!" He said as he gestured to the rods in his hands. "Listen up! If you three fail one more time-"
Dr.Z was unable to finish his threat as Ursula interrupted with. "Just try, try again?" She really didn't want to end up as either Tyrannosaurus food or on the receiving end of those rods. Not sure which was worse.
Outside, Helga was hanging up laundry while the dinosaurs drank from the island's only waterhole. Storm clouds began to form in the sky, but Helga didn't take notice. She did look up as it began to rain, however. "Ooh?"
Back inside, Dr.Z was continuing his message. "You know what happens when I feel negative?!" He asked them.
"No, not really!" They all answered. In reality, it would be people get hurt, but they didn't think that would be a good answer. Sadly, this one proved to be just as bad.
"Well, you're about to find out!" He told them before placing the rods close to each other. "Because when you put two negatives together, can you guess what you're gonna get? Not a positive!" He screamed before placing the rods together. The A-Trio huddled in fear of the awaiting electrocution.
At the same time, a bolt of lightning struck down on Zeta Point and the whole laboratory began to get shocked, including Dr.Z and his minions. "Aah-aah-aah-aah-aah-aah!" They all screamed as they were being electrocuted.
Once they were all done being shocked, the entire lab was pitch black. As was Dr.Z and his minions. "Oh, you three really burn me up." He said before fainting.
Outside, Helga looked unfazed by what happened, but she was having purple shocks running all throughout her body, and she responded by simply scratching her shoulder saying. "Shocking."
When the storm died down, the dinos came out of hiding and walked over to Helga. "What is your name?" Gigas asked her for some reason.
"Frank." Helga replied with as little emotion as her previous sentence, which was basically none.
"Uuuuugh." All three dinos sighed in annoyance. "I'll get the whiteboards." Armatus told them before walking off.
(Intro theme)
At Max's house, Max, Spike, and Rex were currently watching their dinosaurs have their breakfast. All that is except for Chomp. He was currently lying down in front of his food bowl and not even touching it.
"Hey, Chomp, what's the matter?" Max asked as he leaned forward.
"The...pain." Was all Chomp could say as he licked his foot. He didn't know why, but that helped loosen the pain a bit.
Spike picked up Chomp and gave him an examination. "Hmm."
"He seems sick, huh?" Max asked his dad.
"That's really weird." Rex told them. "He was fine earlier this morning when we walked through the woods."
"And Chomp never turns down food. He'd usually eat anything." Terry added before giving Chomp's food bowl a sniff. "Maybe something's wrong with his food?" He wondered.
"Let me try." Spike said before popping a few pieces into his mouth. As he chewed them he couldn't help but notice something. "Could use some salt." He said to himself.
"Uuh." Was all Max could say as he looked at his dad with a weird expression on his face.
"Let me try some." Tank said, thinking her herbivorous diet might be more helpful in detecting a problem, before taking a bite of the food herself. After chewing a bit and swallowing, she told them. "Yeah, doesn't seem to have any problems with it."
"So maybe something else made him sick?" Spike hypothesized.
"What- what do you think he has?" Max asked with a tone of worry in his voice.
"Well, I'm an expert on dinosaur characteristics, but there's not so much we can learn about stomachs from fossils." Spike told them.
"I'll tell you why he has a stomachache, Max." Rex said in an all-knowing tone. "It's because of all the junk food you feed him."
Max's eyes widened as he turned to look at Rex. "What are you talking about? When have I ever fed Chomp junk food?" He asked the Blonde.
"Just yesterday you feed him an ice cream sandwich." Rex replied instantly. "Oh, and how about the potato chips, and not to mention all the food you sneak him under the table." Rex listed.
"Yeah, but Max also feeds me a lot of that stuff too, and yet I'm perfectly fine." Terry told him.
"And...the food underneath the table is vegetables...I doubt they have a negative effect on my diet." Chomp said weekly.
"That's right!" Max told Rex. "And besides if he didn't want it he wouldn't eat it! Right Chomp?" Max asked his partner as he let his head.
"Yeah." Chomp said weekly, but proudly.
"I think you should let the vet check him out." Spike suggested. "Why don't you guys take him over to Zoe's dad's place?"
"Yeah." Max said as he picked up Chomp. Hopefully Zoe's dad could figure it out.

Once they arrived at the animal hospital, Max and Rex explained Chomp's problem to Zoe and her dinos. "What are you saying, Max?" Zoe asked him. "You think our dog food tastes bad?" She asked as she started to get offended.
"No, it tastes good." Max answered. "I mean, no I-"
"That's it! This partnership is over!" Spiny said as he jumped down from the tree he was sitting on. "Mrs. Drake! Max doesn't like our dog food!" Spiny yelled in the direction of Zoe's mom, who was examining a puppy at the moment.
"No, that's not what I meant! I didn't say that! I came here because Chomp might be sick and I need your dad to look at him!" Max interrupted as he flailed his free arm in the air. "I was just saying he didn't want to eat, not that he didn't want to eat the food because it was bad!" Max then turned around and smiled at Mrs. Drake sheepishly while waving and laughing nervously. "Ha, ha, ha, ha!"
"Really, guys, that is the truth." Rex told them.
"So he likes the food, and him not eating it is a problem?" Spiny asked. Rex and the others nodded in confirmation. "Oh, false alarm!" He told Mrs. Drake, who simply went back to work.
"Anyway, is the animal hospital open today? It looks all closed up." Terry asked as he looked around and noticed a lack of patients in the waiting room. This was not looking good for them.
"That's because Dad is taking a few house calls." Zoe answered. "But I think he should be back pretty soon."
Right after she finished that sentence someone announced. "I'm home!" They all turned to see a man wearing a doctor's outfit, carrying a suitcase in his hand.
"Dad! You have perfect timing!" Zoe said as she recognized her father.
Dr. Drake looked around and noticed the rest of the D-Team present. "Well, it looks like we have the whole gang here. Max and Rex. And Chomp, Terry, Tank, and Ace." He said as he beamed them a smile. "To what do I owe the pleasure "
"Dr. Drake, can you please take a look at Chomp?" Max said as he showed the bet Chomp. "We think he might be sick."
"Ugh." Chomp said as he rolled over in Max's embrace.
"Well of course. First, let me see if he has a fever." Dr. Drake said before placing a hand on Chomp's head. Once he did he immediately pulled it back. "Hmm, that's unusual."
"What?!" Max exclaimed.
"A rare disease?!" Terry asked.
"Oh, I don't know about that, but he's definitely sick." Dr. Drake told them. "Usually he tries to bite me." He explained.
"Oh, right." They both said, remembering Chomp having a habit of doing that to people he meets or likes.
DK
Elsewhere in Hawaii, a group of people were watching a bunch of hula dancers dance on a stage. "Look at those grass skirts." One man said.
"You don't see entertainment like this on the mainland." Another said.
While this was going on, a small puppy was digging a hole near a tree. Soon it managed to dig up a capsule. Curious of the new object, the puppy began to bite and try to open the capsule.
Soon thunder clapped and rain began to fall. Everyone groaned as they all retreated from the rain. The puppy managed to open the capsule, but whimpered and ran away when thunder clapped again. When it did, a piece of the capsule containing a card was knocked away and the card was carried away by the tide. Suddenly, the giant surfboard on top of the stage was struck by lightning and fell to the ground, and when it did the electricity moved to a tree and ran down to the ground caused the card to activate.
The dinosaur was a ceratopsian like Chomp, but it only had one long horn on its nose while the two others were basically bumps above his eyes. It was green with lighter green markings that looked like theropod teeth on its side and matching color stripes on its tail and some patterns of the same light green color on its face and frill. Speaking of which, it also had a frill with large spikes coming from the top, as opposed to Chomp's little stubs. This dinosaur was a Styracosaurus.

At Zeta Point, the power was currently out thanks to the thunderstorm so they had to use their backup generator, which was Zander and Ed.
The two men were currently in a giant hamster wheel running around to generate power. "Faster, you two!" Dr.Z ordered. "You call yourselves a backup generator? I've seen hamsters that generate more power." He scolded them while he was working to fix one of the actual generators. Behind him, his grandkids and Ursula were working on the other generator.
Soon the Alpha Scanner started to beep. "Hey, a signal." Dr.Z stopped working and grabbed the Alpha Scanner in his hands to get a closer look. "What'd you know? Another one of my dinosaurs has appeared." He said with a smile.
"Yeah, but without any power there's nothing we can do about it, Grandpa." Rod told him.
"Yeah." Laura added. "None of the machines are working, so we can't go after it." She reminded her grandfather.
"Hey, kids?" Zander asked suddenly. "Could one of you take over for me? I'll give you my fruit cup at lunch." He panted.
"Yeah, I don't think I can keep this up much longer!" Ed added.
"Sorry, I'm a lab technician, not a lab rat." Rod told them while he worked on the generator.
"Just think of happy thoughts while you work." Laura told them with a smile.
The only happy thought they could think of was stopping, which was what they did whisk they caught their breaths.
When they did, the little light they did generate faded away. "Grr, get back to running, you two!" Dr.Z ordered.
"You know." Ursula said with a smile. "As enjoyable as this is for me to watch, maybe they could use a break?" She suggested. Even she found this to be pushing the boundaries.
Dr.Z wasn't pleased by this. "You see?! This is what I'm talking about!" He yelled at her. "It's that kind of attitude which is why those kids get our dinosaurs every time!" He suddenly grabbed the two electric rods from nowhere. "So, what you need is some extra motivation!" He said before charging towards them.
The A-Team ran away screaming while the doctor chased them around the room. "Get back here! I'll teach you!" He threatened them as the chase went on. The trio decided to hide behind one of the generators. Dr.Z went after them, but tripped on one of the cables and landed on the generator, which caused all of them to be electrocuted again.
As the electricity surged through the generator, the lights all around the base turned back on. "Whoa!" Rod exclaimed as his fuse box had volts running through it.
"Hey, that worked." Laura told her grandpa.
"Maybe." Rod said. "You fixed the lights, but you fried everything else."
"Yeah, including us." The A-Team said as they were fried again.

At the animal hospital, Dr. Drake put Chomp on an exam table and put a stethoscope on his stomach. "Hmm, that's strange." He said as he took off the device.
"What's wrong? Is he really sick?" Max and Terry asked urgently.
"I have no idea." Dr. Drake replied, causing Max and Terry to fall over.
"What is wrong with him then?" Tank asked impatiently. This doctor was clearly not knowing what he was doing.
"I don't know much about dinosaur sickness." Dr. Drake told her. "It could be food poisoning or just a cold. I don't know. Dinosaurs are mysterious."
"Hey, Dad." Zoe said as she tugged his sleeve. "Let's keep that dinosaur talk to a minimum please?" She pointed to the door and noted the people waiting outside.
"Ah, Yes. Don't worry about that. I respect my patients' privacy. Not only that, me and my wife also gave Max's father our word to keep things secret." When your parents own an animal hospital, it's kind of obvious when something's not a dog.
Turning his attention back to Chomp, Dr. Drake said. "As for Chomp, since he hasn't been feeling well so well, I'll give him a little vitamin booster shot."
Chomp stopped licking his foot and looked up to see Dr. Drake carrying a huge needle that was larger them himself. "Nooo!" He screamed before leaping into Max's arms, trembling.
"Isn't the Death Needle better for elephants?" Spiny told him.
"Yeah, but I think it's about dinosaur-sized." Dr. Drake told him.
"Why...is it called...the Death Needle?" Chomp asked.
"Oh, it's not really called-" Dr. Drake was interrupted by Spiny.
"Because when you're injected with it your life flashes before your eyes like when you are about to die." Spiny told him. Needless to say, that didn't help ease Chomp's worries.
"Dad! Can't you just give Chomp some chewables or something?" Zoe asked as she lowered her dad's needle.
"Yeah, all right." Dr. Drake said in defeat. "I guess I'll have to wait for the next sick dinosaur to use my Mega Needle."
"Death needle." Spiny corrected.
Suddenly, the Dino Holders began to beep. "Huh?" Max and Rex grabbed their Holders and checked to see where it was. "Another dinosaur." Max said before squinting his eyes to get a better look. "In the middle of the ocean?" He asked anyone.
DK
Once they all got to the D-Lab, they had Reese and Utah plug in the coordinates. Due to her intelligence, Utah has been helping Reese with a lot of her work as a way to understand this world better. "It's coming from the Hawaiian islands." Reese told them as she enlarged the map so they can see.
Zoe clapped her hands together. "Awesome! I'm glad I packed my bathing suit!" To confirm this, she had a pink bag on her right arm.
"You did?" Rex asked her. Zoe responded by just giving him a smile.
"We're not sending you there on vacation, Sis." Reese reminded her.
"I just want to be prepared." Zoe told her with a frown.
"She does have a point. What if it's another Water Element and we'd have to chase it into the water?" Paris asked, not noticing Ace going a little pale.
Off to the side, Max was currently trying to feed Chomp some pills. "Take your vitamins, Chomp." Max urged as he held the vitamins to Chomp's face.
"Blech." Was all Chomp could say as he weakly turned away.
"Come on, Bro, they'll make you feel better." Terry urged with a nudge.
"No...they...won't." Chomp said before licking his foot again.
It was at that time Max's dad decided to enter the room. "How's Chomp?" He asked as he walked over. "Did the doc fix him up?"
"He gave us these vitamins, but Chomp won't eat 'em." Max told his father.
"I know why." Spike answered. "It's because Chomp's an herbivore, so he won't take dog vitamins." He reached into his bag and pulled out some brown leaves. "Try giving him some of these; numbtounge leaves."
"What's that?" Max asked as he grabbed the leaves.
"They were leaves herbivores ate when they got sick." Mia answered. "I would avoid trying it yourselves. When carnivores ate them, there was a whole range of sicknesses for them, from numb tongues to hallucinating." She warned them before adding. "I'm surprised they're still around after all these years."
"Well, it's worth a shot." Max said as he held the leaves for Chomp. The little Triceratops sniffed the leaves before taking a bite out of them. "He ate them!" Max said with a smile on his face.
"All right, that's great!" Spike said. "I guess you can say that was just what the doctor ordered." He said, not realizing his pun.
Rex was happy Chomp was starting to feel better, but he still had his doubts. "Max, if you want, you and Terry can stay here with Chomp while Zoe and I go." He suggested.
"Yeah, maybe you should stay and take care of him." Zoe told him.
Max wanted to answer no, but they had a point. Maybe he should stay here. Chomp responded to this by slowly getting up. "I...can...still...fight." He said weakly.
"Bro, I really-"
"Sorry, Terry...but I'm not staying behind." Chomp told his brother.
"You're leaving?" Spike asked them. "Another dinosaur?"
"Yeah, in Hawaii!" Zoe said excitedly.
"No way, in Hawaii?" He said with a shocked expression.
"Pretty cool, huh?" She said before they all went to the teleportation pad. "See you later!" They all said before they teleported away.
"Hawaii, no fair." Spike said depressed, before taking a bite out of the food in the bag he had, only to realize it was the numbtongue leaves.
As he grimaced, Reese looked over to his direction. "Did you eat the numbtongue leaves?"
"Yes, Reese, I did!" Spike answered with a numb tongue.
"Wow, good name." She said aloud.

Once they arrived at their destination, Zoe couldn't help but gush again. "I can't believe I'm in Hawaii!" She beamed with excitement.
"Remember we're not here on vacation, Zoe." Paris reminded her.
"Hey, look!" Max said as he pointed to something in the sky. They all looked up to see a colorful rainbow in the sky. "A rainbow!"
"Ahh." Zoe sighed in happiness. "It's as beautiful here as I imagined it would be."
Ace wasn't impressed. "It's just moisture refracting the sun's rays, same as anywhere else." He told her.
"Party pooper." Spiny told him.
As this went on, Chomp noticed something coming their way. "Huh?"
"What's up, Chomp? Feeling any better yet?" Max asked, looking down at his partner.
"No, it's something else." Chomp replied, squinting his eyes to get a better look.
Suddenly, a roar was heard. They all looked where Chomp was looking to see a dust cloud coming their way. On closer viewing, it turned out to be a large herd of cows. "Run!" Rex told them while he grabbed Ace and Tank in his arms, Zoe and Max copied him with their partners and they all ran up a hill before the herd could trample them.
"What are cows doing in Hawaii?" Zoe asked as they watched the herd run by.
"A lot of ranching takes place here." Rex explained.
Soon the roar was heard again. Max turned his head and saw the Styracosaurus running behind the cows. "Whoa!"
"That's not a cow!" Tank said.
"Styracosaurus!" Rex told them as he identified the dinosaur.
The Styracosaurus continued running until he noticed the D-Team on the hill. He stopped chasing the cows and took a moment to examine them.
"Uh-oh." Max said.
"It sees us!" Rex told them.
"If we don't move, maybe he won't see us." Spiny told them.
Obviously, this had no effect as the Styracosaurus soon started running up the hill. "The movies lied! He did see us!"
"Aah!" The D-Team screamed as they ran away from the charging dinosaur.
Max was in such a hurry he didn't notice the rock in front of him. He soon tripped and fell onto the ground, Chomp and Terry falling out of his hands. "Whoa!" He looked up to see the Styracosaurus charge straight towards them. "Oh, no!" Max cried as he closed his eyes, unable to see his demise.
Yet he soon heard the sound, not of pain, but of laughter. "Ha, ha, ha, ha,!" Opening his eyes he saw the Styracosaurus licking Chomp on the face. "Stop!" Chomp told him while laughing. "That tickles."
The rest of the team came out from behind the tree they were hiding from and looked at the scene play out. "Huh?"
Max slowly scooted away while the rest of the team came up to him. "Wow, not what I was expecting." Rex said.
"I'll say." Zoe commented. "Look at 'em. They act like they've been friends for years."
"That's right!" Terry said as he just remembered something he felt he should have earlier. "Ceratopsians seemed to share a really close bond with each other, regardless of herd origins or species."
"I bet he was chasing those cows 'cause he thought they were dinosaurs, too." Rex assumed.
"Could be. He's not that much bigger than them." Terry answered.
The Styracosaurus soon looked down at Chomp's paw and saw something wrong with it. Using his beak, he tried to remove the object attacking his foot, but it was no good.
"What's he doing?" Max asked as he walked up to Chomp.
Chomp winched at the Styracosaur's attempts to remove something from his foot. "I don't know. He says he sees something there. Can you check it out, please?"
"OK, let's see." Max grabbed his foot and took a look at it. His eyes widened when he saw the problem. "Chomp, you have a thorn in your paw!" He exclaimed. "Hold still, buddy!" He told him as he pulled the thorn out.
Once out, Chomp realized the pain was gone and stood back on his feet, wagging his tail like an excited puppy. "Thank you, Max!" Chomp exclaimed before he and the other dinosaurs started running around in celebration.
"Now he's back to his old self again." Max said with a smile as he watched the dinosaurs celebrate.
"The thorn caused all that?" Zoe asked, having a hard time believing that was his problem.
"Look, he's even got his appetite back." Rex pointed out. Sure enough, Chomp was seen chewing away on some grass to make up for lost eating time.
"I'm glad, but it was in his paw. Why would something like that make him stop eating?" Max asked his friends.
"I don't know." Rex told him. "Maybe it hit a nerve that affected his appetite?"
"Huh? Do you really think that could happen?" Zoe asked alarmed before looking down at her shoes. "Maybe I could start a new diet craze?"
"I don't know, I just made that up." The blonde told her.
Zoe gave him a look, while Max looked off to the side. "Hey! Check it out!" He said before running towards something he noticed, the others following behind him. "It's the beach!" He said with a smile.
They all ran towards the beach excitedly. Chomp and Spiny ran on top of the large surfboard that fell from the stage earlier and used it to put their feet in the water. It helped make Chomp's foot feel a lot better.
While this happened, the rest of the team and the Styracosaurus watched them from the side. "I love it here!" Zoe beamed.
"Yeah, me too!" Max added.
"Time to put on my bathing suit!" Zoe said before she started to grab her bag.
Rex thought that hanging out at the beach might be fun, but he then realized something. "Hey, hold on!" He told them.
"Something the matter?" Max asked him.
"Something's not right. We haven't run into the Alpha Gang yet." Rex told him.
"Yeah, you're right. They haven't shown up so I completely forgot about them." Max told him.
Zoe decided to see if they were on the island at all. "Hello?! Are you out there old lady?!"
All the way at Zeta Point, Ursula responded with. "Ugh! I'm not an old lady!"
Of course, since they were not even on the same island, the D-Team couldn't hear her. "Good." Zoe told them. "That pretty much confirms that they're not here. If they were, then we would have heard that scream of hers a mile away."
"Well, if there's no Alpha Gang around, then I think it's time for s little surfin' fun in the sun, Hawaiian style!" Max said. "Come on, guys! You too, Thorn!" He said to the Styracosaurus. The Styracosaurus took a moment to accept his new name before running after Max.
"So, is this gonna be the anime beach episode?" Spiny asked anyone.
DK
"That's it! You're just gonna stay there like some old beach bum?" Spike asked his son through the Dino Holder screen.
"Yeah! It's strictly science, Dad." Max told his father on the other side. "Since Chomp made friends with Thorn, we're gonna study them playing together."
"And to do that you'll need a surfboard?" Spike asked suspiciously.
Sure enough, Max was in a swimsuit he bought and was holding a surfboard. "Oh this, it's a nice one huh? Anyway, I got to go catch a wave, Bye! Aloha!"
"Wait! Hold on!" Spike said, but Max already turned off his screen. "Oh, I don't think he's studying anything but the surf report." He said angrily before looking depressed. "So not fair."
"As long as they come back with the Styracosaurus, I don't see the problem." Reese told him.
"Yeah, right. But I've never been to a luau!" Spike said sadly.
DK
With the sun high in the sky and the waves perfect for surfing, majority of the D-Team were currently on surfboards riding the waves. Max and Rex were currently on their own boards while Terry and Tank shared one. Using the large stage prop they found nearby, Chimp and Thorn were both able to ride the waves as well. Spiny was swimming through the reef trying to catch a fish. "Hello-AH!" Only to be repeatedly stung by sea anemones as he kept forgetting what his prey was hiding in. Meanwhile, Ace kept his distance from the tide, even the small ones.
Zoe and Paris were currently hanging around at a restaurant. Paris was drinking some juice from a plate while Zoe sipped some from a straw, she was also wearing a green swimsuit. "Ah." Zoe sighed. "Just what I needed. Now, this is Hawaii. Not cattle!"
"Surfing's really fun, Zoe." Max said as he and Rex walked up to her.
"Yeah, you should really give it a try." Rex added. "You're the one so determined to do Hawaiian stuff."
"Yeah, I know." Zoe said. "And that's exactly what I'm doing. Lounging Hawaiian style!" She cheered before taking another sip.
DK
Later, the kids dried up, put their clothes back on, and watched Chomp and Thorn surf. "Look at them." Max said. "You know, I think Thorn just wanted to have a friend."
"Chomp seems pretty happy about that." Rex commented.
"Yeah." Max agreed. "I mean just look at 'em. It's almost as if Thorn is his long-lost cousin or something." When Max said that, Thorn gave out a roar, like he agreed with Max, even though he couldn't hear him. "One thing's for sure, Chomp's definitely going to want us to take his new friend home with us."
"Of course." Terry told him. While he did feel a little jealous, it was nice to see Chomp and Thorn bonding.
Rex smiled as the scene played out. Looking to the side he saw Paris and Spiny playing in the water while Ace was off to the side. "Go in with them, Ace." Rex urged him. But Ace simply retreated when the tide ran up again. "Oh, no, he's afraid." Rex told himself.
If that wasn't bad enough, behind Chomp and Thorn, a shadowy figure emerged. "Look, guys!" Zoe told her teammates before using her googles to get a better look. Just as she feared, it was the Alpha Gang. "Gigas and Maximus." She told them grimly.
Both dinosaurs were standing on the deck of a boat-like device while Ursula and the others sat on a higher seat. "Grr, I heard what you runts said about me!" Ursula told them. "And now I'm gonna get my revenge!"
"Somehow Ursula's revenge always means more work for us." Zander told Ed.
"And more bruises." Ed responded.
"Would you two quit your whining?!" Ursula told them. "We're the Alpha Gang, who strikes fear in others, so start striking fear! Besides, if we don't bring back a dinosaur card today we'll be the ones getting struck!"
"Good point! Start the attack!" Zander told them.
"Listen up, brats! We're gonna grab that Styracosaurus and send you back on your sniveling way faster than you can say Waikiki!"
With that signal, Gigas and Maximus roared and a Battlefield appeared. The boat went closer to Thorn while the two dinosaurs went into pouncing mode. "Wait, I just thought of something!" Ed exclaimed. "If the boat's all balanced now, then what's gonna happen when they jump off of it?!"
"Now you decide to grow a brain?!" Ursula screeched as the boat capsized when both dinosaurs leapt off it.
"Your problem!" The two dinosaurs responded before they leapt off the platform. It was time to redeem themselves.
As the two got closer to them, Thorn took action and put his nose horn under Chomp. "What are you do-ING!" Chomp asked before Thorn used his long horn to toss the Triceratops away before the two enemy dinosaurs landed on top of him.
"Chomp!" Max yelled as he caught the Triceratops in his arms. "Thank goodness you're safe."
After surfacing in the shallow water and seeing his friend was safe, Thorn turned his attention back to his opponents. Gigas wasted no time and charged towards him and struck the Styracosaur's underbelly with his head, effectively throwing him onto the beach.
"Thorn!" Chomp cried out before turning to his partner. "Max, he needs me now!"
"You don't have to tell me twice. Terry, help us out!" Max said, placing Chomp down and getting out his Dino Holder.
"You got it!" He said before returning to his card alongside Chomp.
"DINO SLASH! TRICERATOPS, ROAR! FLAME UP, TYRANNOSAURUS!"
"You too, guys." Rex told his partners as he got them ready.
"DINO SLASH! CARNOTAURUS, BLOW THEM AWAY! SHAKE 'EM UP, SAICHANIA!"
With the target lying on the ground, Maximus charged in for the final blow. But before she could, Chomp intervened and knocked her away. "Leave him alone!" He screamed as he did so.
Maximus landed right in front of Gigas, who recoiled when she did so. "Damn it!" She hissed as she got back up.
Chomp, Terry, and Tank all stood in front of Thorn protectively while Ace stayed away from the battle. Where they battled was too close to where the tide comes in. "Ace, get over here!" Tank roared at him. Ace simply stayed quiet as he kept on watching from the back. "Darn it." She told the other two. "He's too afraid of the water to join us."
"What'd we do now?" Rex asked. "Ace still won't go in the water?"
"That's OK, guys, we still have Spiny and Paris!" Zoe said before she got them ready for battle.
"DINO SLASH! PARASAUROLOPHUS, BLOOM! GUSH OUT, SPINOSAURUS!"
As the battle continued, Ursula resurfaced and grasped what was left of their boat. "I try so hard." She sobbed.
Soon after, Zander joined her. "Hey, what's Ed doing?" He asked as he looked in his direction.
"Help me! Somebody, help me!" Ed cried as he was drowning.
"Oh, that's right. He doesn't know how to swim, remember?"
Ursula, peeved at Zander's ignorance, decided to take matters into her own hands. "Well, maybe you so go save him. Now!" She ordered Zander before kicking him into the water.
Once in the water, Zander started struggling. "I'm not much better!" He cried before the water soon receded 'till only their feet were submerged. The tide seemed to have gone down.
"What'd you know? Maybe things out looking up?" Ursula said.
"You could be right." Zander commented, right before they were all swept away by a wave. "Never mind!" He and Ed both said together.
Back with the fight, Maximus and Chomp were currently locked horns. Thorn tried to get up to help his friend but Gigas, dodging Terry and Spiny's attacks, knocked him back down. "Stay down if you know what's good for you!" He threatened the herbivore. "That goes for you two as well!" He said before knocking Terry and Spiny away with his tail.
Zoe saw Thorn's condition and decided to use her Move Card. "Nature's Blessing! Paris, heal Thorn!" She ordered.
Paris got her attack ready, and Tank got in front to guard her. But Gigas quickly noticed it too early. "Oh, no you don't!" He said before leaping over Tank and head-butting Paris away before giving Tank a kick before the Saichania could retaliate.
"Paris and Tank are hit!" Zoe announced.
"I've got it, Zoe!" Max told her. "Get ready to go, Chomp! Electric Charge!"
Before he could swipe his Move Card, he was interrupted. "Not so fast!" He looked up to see the Alpha Gang standing proudly on their boat while Ursula handed her partners two Alpha Scanners. "Spectral Punisher and Spectral Lancer." She said before Zander and Ed swiped both cards and purple mist covered the two dinosaurs before their extensions appeared.
But Max wasn't phased at all by this and resumed his attack. "Electric Charge!" He cried out before he activated the card. Lightning struck Chomp and he charged forward.
"Get ready, Gigas!" Maximus said as she fired her laser. Chomp dodged the attack, but the sudden change in momentum caused him to slip. Gigas took this opportunity to pick Chomp up with his lancers and throw him right into Thorn.
"Ah!" Everyone gasped as Thorn glowed yellow and returned to his card. "Thorn!" Chomp exclaimed before he raced after the card. But he was too late as the Alpha Gang used a Grappling Claw and picked up the card, despite Chomp trying to dive on top of it. They all smiled in delight as they had finally won for once.
"Hey! That Styracosaurus belongs with us!" Max yelled at them angrily.
"No, it doesn't!" Ursula mocked him as she held out their new card.
"Thankfully, the tide has finally turned for us." Zander said, right before another wave landed on them. "Shutting up."
Gigas and Maximus turned around and began to push the boat away. "You follow us, he dies." Gigas warned them as the Battlefield disappeared.
Chomp and the others ran to the water's edge and Chomp gave a roar of anger and sadness.
"Push faster!" Ursula ordered the two dinosaurs. "I can't wait to show Dr.Z this new card and collect our reward!"
"I wonder what it'll be!" Zander said before listing off rewards. "New offices? A big, fat check?"
"I'll just be happy if it's a big, fat dinner." Ed told them.
"There's more to life than food, you know." Ursula told him. "Like money."
"To buy more food." Ed added.
"Nooo!" Chomp roared as they vanished from sight.

As the sun set, the dinosaurs were returned to their small forms. "I'm sorry, you guys." Ace said sadly. "If I wasn't so afraid to go into the ocean then this wouldn't have happened."
"It's not your fault, Ace." Chomp assured him. "We're a team. And as a team, we just lost this time."
"Yeah, besides they would have beaten you up as well." Spiny added in a way to cheer Ace up, obviously not working.
Max looked down in disappointment, fearing what would happen to their friend, before he noticed something on the beach. Looking closer he saw an orange card with a lightning symbol on it. "Hey! Is that what I think it is?" He picked it up and got a better look at it. "It is! Lightning Spear!" He said as he looked at the Move Card.
"It belongs to Thorn." Zoe said.
"Must have gotten separated from his card somehow." Terry said.
"This is great." Max said. "All we have to do is use this on the Alpha Gang and we'll eventually be able to rescue Thorn from them."
This started to make Chomp feel slightly better as he looked at the sunset. There was still hope for his friend after all. "It's beautiful isn't it?"
"Do we really have to go home?" Zoe asked.

At Zeta Point, Dr.Z just put Thorn's card into the Alpha Controller before addressing his minions. "Well, well, well, well. You did something right. For that, you get a reward." The A-Team leaned forward and waited in anticipation for their reward, only for Dr.Z to blow them a kiss. Ursula and Ed dodged the heart that was formed, but Zander was smacked on the head.
"Eh, that was nice. But I was thinking our reward could just be a big dinner?" Ed asked as he and Ursula got back up.
"Or cash is good." Ursula added, both getting creeped out for some reason. "Cash can make a great reward."
"Well, I guess we could celebrate with a meal." Dr.Z said. "There's a problem with that, though. Helga got an electrical shock from the lighting, and now she has forgotten a lot of things, including how to cook. So until she snaps out of it, you three are on kitchen duty starting immediately."
"What?" They all said. That was their big reward for their first ever victory?
"And now that we're talking about food, you'd better get started on dinner right away. I'm so hungry I could eat a dinosaur." Dr.Z said before a massive rumble was heard that shook the whole island.
