The day started out normally at Zeta Point with Dr.Z playing his bone game. "Shake-a-bone, shake-a-bone, shake-a-bone, stew! Ride your own dinosaur two by two!" He sang before rolling the bones. "Reveal!" The bones slid across the map before one, either a tooth or claw bone, pointed at Japan. "Look at that. The bones have shown right where the next dinosaur will appear." He told his minions, who were watching from the couch with disinterest. "On your feet, you lazy slugs!" He ordered them. "Get moving, and don't come back without it."
"On our way!" The trio sprang to their feet and saluted before the floor opened up beneath them, leading to their transportation for the week, a large pink rocket. "Aaah!" The trio screamed before they landed right in the rocket seats very hardly. "Owww! Ugh, by now you'd think we'd learn to not stand up in front of that couch." Ursula groaned as she rubbed her behind.
The rocket activated and blasted off towards when the bones pointed. "Yaaah!" The trio screamed again as they were pushed to the back of the cockpit thanks to gravity. "Maybe someone could suggest that we have a few seatbelts put into this thing?" Ursula suggested as she climbed into her seat once the force from the blast off died down.
"The worst of it is that if it weren't for a bunch of old bones, we wouldn't even be out here!" Zander said as he and Ed climbed into their seats. "I didn't even have time to record the new episode of Game of Thrones."
"For a man of science, Dr.Z sure does believe in a lot of superstitions." Ed pointed out. "But for some reason, those bones seem to work."
"It all sounds like bunk to me." Ursula said. "But supposedly those old bones can detect vibrations from the other dinosaurs emotions." She mockingly suggested.
"Like if they were mad at someone?" Ed asked worryingly, not realizing Ursula's sarcasm.
"Or if someone were to have mistreated them?" Zander asked, also missing Ursula's joke.
The duo cowered in fear before they heard a loud roar. Turning around they saw a giant dinosaur skull surrounded by blue flames. "AAAAAH!" The duo screamed while Ursula bonked them on the heads and rolled up the picture.
"Grow some balls, will you? How can a bunch of bones detect emotions that are nonexistent?" She asked before she laid back on her seat. When she did so, the heel of her shoe accidentally broke off one of the levers up front. "Huh?"
"Waaah!" Zander and Ed screamed before the machine started going out of control.
"What's wrong with this machine?!" Ursula asked, tightly gripping onto her seat for dear life, an action mimicked by her teammates.
"You broke something!" Zander pointed out.
"That black stick thing?! Who needs it?!" Ursula asked.
"I'll explain after we crash!" Ed screamed as the out-of-control rocket flew to their location.
(Intro Theme)
With the D-Team, they were in a car being driven by Reese, heading for an airport. "It seems like going flying sure puts you in a good mood, huh, Reese?" Zoe asked her sister as she noticed the smile on her face and her humming while sitting up front with her.
"Yeah, I guess so." The blonde woman answered. "I really look forward to going up once a month."
"I bet flying an airplane must be pretty cool." Ace thought aloud.
"Yeah! Maybe once we're up in the air, she'll let us work the controls for a while." Spiny wished eagerly.
"We'd want to survive this flight." Tank told him.
"Hey! Look, there's the airport." Max pointed out as they approached their destination.
They parked the car and entered the airport. Once they did, Reese recognized a man that was passing by. "Oh. Hello, Mr. Stanley."
The man stopped and looked at who addressed him. "Oh, hello, Reese. Are you flying today?" He asked her. When he did, Zoe imagined him doing it in a charming way. But not because she thought he was cute.
"Yes. Can you believe it's already been a month?" Reese asked him.
"Well, the weather is perfect, so you should have smooth sailing up there." Stanley told her before looking down and noticing Zoe glaring at him. "Huh? Oh, this must be the younger sister you mentioned."
"Yes. That's Zoe, and the boys are Max and Rex." Reese answered.
"Hi, Mr. Stanley." Both boys said while their dinosaurs gave out a friendly chirp.
Stanley immediately tensed up when he noticed the dinosaurs in both their, and Zoe's hands. "What-what kind of animals are those?" He asked nervously.
"Uh, these are just dogs. Heh heh. Cute, aren't they?" Max said, gesturing to the dinos in his arms.
"Yeah. Do you want to pet one?" Rex asked.
"Agh. No way!" Stanley exclaimed as he back up. "Keep them away from me! I don't really do so well with animals." He explained.
While the dinosaurs understood this, phobia of dogs wasn't unheard of even though Tank still glared at Stanley and Spiny didn't understand what was going, Zoe didn't take kindly to this. "So, why don't you like animals?" She asked, narrowing her eyes at him.
"Sorry. Got to run, guys. Have a good flight today. See you later, Reese. Bye!" He said quickly and he ran to the control room.
"What is the connection between you and that guy, Reese?" Zoe asked once he was gone. Already getting to the point.
"I'm not sure what you mean by that." Reese answered, not understanding Zoe's attitude. "I'm a pilot, and he's an air traffic controller. So the connection is purely professional."
"Right." Zoe said as she narrowed her eyes with suspicion.
"Okay. This way, kids." Reese said as she led them to where the plane was.
"You know what, Reese? I really want to look around the airport. So I think I'll skip the flight." Zoe told her sister.
"Are you sure?" Reese asked.
"What's going on? Is there something wrong?" Max asked as he walked up to her.
"Never mind. You guys go ahead and enjoy your flight with Reese." Zoe told them.
"What about you two?" Max asked Paris and Spiny.
"I would like to stay with Zoe." Paris said, already knowing she'd need her help with whatever she was really doing.
"I don't want to crash the plane, as Tank's been saying I will, so it's best if I stay away from the flying thing" Spiny said.
"And we've got a little job we have to do." Zoe said as she gave a scowl.
"What kind of job?" Chomp asked.
"Don't worry about it. We'll see you later." Zoe said as they walked off.
"Is she okay?" Rex asked Max.
"She's up to something, but she won't tell me what it is." Max answered.
"Well, if Spiny's not going then that's good enough for me." Tank said.
"Hey, what's the hold-up? Let's get going." Reese told them.
"Coming!" They replied as they ran over to where she was.
Meanwhile, Zoe and her dinos were currently riding up an escalator. "So, why did you skip the flight, Zoe?" Paris asked.
"It's because I think the real reason Reese comes here to fly is so she can see that man." Zoe answered. "That's why she was so cheerful."
"And your sister being in love is a problem?" Spiny asked.
"When it's him, yes." Zoe told him before a determined and upset look appeared on her face. "We've got to separate them somehow."
"Well, mission accomplished." Spiny said. "They're not together right now."
"I didn't mean like that." Zoe said. "I mean we've got to stop their romantic relationship. What kind of man is that anyway? Imagine not liking animals. Right, guys?"
"I guess I see your point." Paris answered hesitantly.
The trio got to the top of the escalator and saw Stanley at a cafe. "There he is!" Zoe said angrily as her partners leapt out of her embrace.
"Should we put him down?" Spiny asked.
"Not yet, Spiny. Follow me." Zoe said as they went to the cafe.
Stanley was eating some food by the window when Zoe approached him. "Hello again." Zoe said as she took a seat with a drink. "Do you mind if we join you?" She asked, gesturing to Spiny and Paris taking seats near him, Paris next to him.
"Uh, Well, I, uh." Stanley said as he looked at Paris nervously, just expecting to her attack him.
"Don't worry. She won't bite. Unless she doesn't like you." Zoe assured him with a mischievous smile.
"Oh. Good." He sighed with relief, though it wasn't much relief.

On the runway, Reese's plane was getting itself into position to take off. "Tango 2-7-5, you are clear for takeoff on runway L-3, over." A man over the radio said to Reese.
"Roger. Thanks, tower." Reese said before the jets started to increase.
"Here we go, guys." Chomp said excitedly as he wiggled in his seat.
The plane started to speed up down the runway before finally having enough power to lift up into the air. Once they were off the ground, Chomp started freaking out. "Oh my god! We're all gonna die!" He screamed as he started flailing in his seat.
"Easy, Bro." Terry told him.
"Chomp, it's gonna be okay." Max told the Triceratops, holding his partner to try to calm him down.
"I know your tricks! You'll never take me in!" Chomp said before he bit onto Max's hand.
"Reese, Chomp's freaking out. We can't go." Max told her, ignoring the pain in his hand.
"I'll turn around." Reese said before contacting the control tower. "This is Tango 2-7-5. We have a sick passenger and request an emergency landing."
Once they were able to land, Max and his team exited the plane. "Hey, guys, you don't mind if we stay on, do you?" Rex asked them.
"No. That's fine." Max told him before they got off the ramp. "I'm sorry, Chomp. I didn't know you didn't like flying." The brunette apologized.
"Neither did I." Chomp admitted, looking down in shame for ruining it for the rest of his team. "But you guys really didn't have to come with me."
"Wouldn't have been the same without you." Terry said as he gave his brother a playful nudge. "Besides, there's always next time."
"I'd rather not have a next time." Chomp said as they watched the plane take off.
This time the plane was able to get high above the clouds. "So, do you like flying, Rex?" Reese asked as they both looked at the view.
"Yeah, it's really cool." Rex said. "Right, guys?"
"I'd never thought I'd see the day I'll be able to see what a pterosaur sees when it flys." Ace said. "Humans have come a long way."
"It's just the tops of clouds." Tank said, ruining the mod. "Nothing really special." She told them before noticing something. "Hey. What's that?" She asked, pointing to a large shadow in the clouds. "You guys see that shadow over there?"
"Probably just a larger plane." Reese said as she started to focus on a way to avoid it.
The shadow was actually the Alpha Gang, having gotten the rocket under control. "This rocket sure has a long nose on it. What do you suppose all that extra space is there for?" Zander asked as he looked down from the cockpit.
"Maybe it's storage. Go see if there are any sandwiches." Ursula told them.
"Too late. We're right over the target location now." Ed told her.
"Good! Take us down." She ordered.
Ed started to pull on the control stick that wasn't broken, but it broke off as well. "Oh, no! Not the other control stick!" Ed paled and screamed before his colleagues did the same. "Aaah!"
The rocket started to rise out of the clouds as it began losing control again. Reese and her passengers gasped at the size of the rocket before it hit them and sent them spiraling out of control.
Reese struggled to get ahold of the controls while Tank and Ace griped onto the seat tightly. Rex, meanwhile, started to freak out. As the plane fell out of the sky, he kept having visions of a baby crying in a wormhole. A baby that looked like him. "Aah!" Rex screamed as his fear increased.
"Don't panic, Rex." Reese assured him. "I can pull us out of this. We'll be fine."
It took Reese all of her strength to get the plane back under control before they crashed in a forest. Reese sighed in relief as she checked the damage. "It's okay. We're back to flying level again." She told her passengers. "The rudder's been damaged, but I think I'll be able to compensate for it. Are you all okay?
"Me and Ace are fine, but Rex isn't looking so good." Tank said as she walked up to him and started to nuzzle him while Ace gave him comforting licks. The poor kid was shivering in fear and was unresponsive to any outside communication.

Back at the airport, Zoe was having a conversation with Stanley about Reese. "What? I can't believe Reese would behave like that." Stanley said in shock.
"Oh, yeah. And she rarely brushes her teeth, either. I always have to remind her." Zoe said with an evil smile as she started spilling secrets about her sister. Well, made up secrets that were more her secrets than Reese's. "And she hates to bathe, too. And she butts in line." All this time, Paris watched with uncertainty while Spiny was looking out the window.
"You know, nothing makes me angrier than that." Stanley said with a massive from and clenched fists.
"Good thing I told you all this, huh?" Zoe chuckled while Paris sighed. Looks like mission accomplished.
Before Stanley could continue his meal, he received a call on his phone. "Hello?" He answered. When he heard what the other side said, his eyes widened. "Right! I'm on my way!" He replied before hanging up. "I have to go. They say Reese's plane collided with a UFO."
"No way!" Zoe gasped.
The group quickly made their way to the control center. "What's her status?" Stanley asked as he got his equipment.
"Her rudder's been damaged, but she has it under control." One of the employees told him.
Stanley nodded and tried to contact her. "Stanley here. How's it going, Reese?"
"So far so good, but it's hard keeping her level. Also, I've got a passenger here who's in urgent need of attention." Reese told them.
"Oh. I wonder who." Zoe said worryingly as she and her team walked up to Stanley.
"You've been cleared to begin an emergency approach." Stanley told her. "And don't worry. I'll guide you."
"That UFO! It's just entered our airspace!" Another employee told him.
"What!?" Stanley gasped before looking at the radar. "There it is! And it's completely out of control!"
"Shoot it down!" Spiny said, making employees confused where the voice came from.
Elsewhere, Max and his team came up from an escalator. "Zoe came this way, but I don't see her anywhere now." Max said before noticing the out-of-control rocket through the window. "What is that thing?!"
The rocket continued on flying until the tip touched the ground. If stated sliding across the runway, it's nose leaving a large ditch in its path before it literally flipped out and finally came to a stop in front of the control tower, those inside shielding themselves from the force of impact.
Somehow, inside the ditch was a capsule. And once the winds caught the three cards inside, they flew away before being activated. What came from the cards was another raptor. It was green, with yellow stripes on its back and legs along with a yellow ring on its tail, light tan colored arms and feet, and on its head and back was a crest that resembled a horse mane with yellow feathers that had pink tops, particularly large and bushy at the head where it was more pink than yellow. This dinosaur was a Megaraptor. The raptor roared before going into the plane storage.

The door to the rocket opened at the Alpha Gang slumped over the sides. "I don't care if that extra space has sandwiches in it or not. At least it protects us during our crash landings." Ed said, trying to lighten the mood again.
"Ugh! For once, I'd like to not have a crash landing." Ursula yelled as she punched Zander for some reason, almost making him fall off the rocket.
"Aah!" Zander screamed as he held on for dear life with just one arm.
As Ursula vented out her rage, she noticed Stanley from the window of the control tower. Immediately, her heart started fluttering. "Ooh. That's one hunk of a man." She blushed. "It's true what they say. When you see your true love, you just know. On my way!" She gave a kiss in his direction before using the seat to lower herself to the ground.
"Where are you going? We have a dinosaur to chase." Zander reminded her as he climbed back into the cockpit.
"I'll leave that to you. I've got a date with destiny." Ursula said as she ran towards the tower.
"All right. What are you creeps doing here?" Terry asked them as he and the others arrived on the runway.
"Get out of my way! I'm on a mission!" Ursula yelled as she leapt over them and ran inside.
"Bathroom, probably." Max simply said as he watched her run. This was interrupted by the sounds of workers screaming. They looked to see a group of men being chased away by the Megaraptor. "Ah! Megaraptor!" Max identified the dinosaur.
"That's a really dangerous dinosaur!" Paris said as she, Spiny, and Zoe noticed it as well.
"Aren't they all?" The worker next to Paris asked, both in shock of the dinosaur in the runway and the talking dog next to her, not realizing Paris is also a dinosaur.
"Listen, Reese, the runway is not clear to land." Stanley told her. "I'm waving you off. You'll have to circle around again. We'll get it cleared as soon as we can." He assured her. "Stand by."
"Roger that." Reese replied before turning around. As she did she noticed the large hole on the runway. "How's Rex doing?" She asked Ace and Tank.
"Still nothing." Ace replied. "What's going on below?"
"The runaway has a giant rocket on it, making landing not an option. We'll have to circle around to give them time to clear it, but I'm running awfully low on fuel." She explained.
On the ground, the Megaraptor walked right in front of the Alpha Gang's rocket. "A dinosaur, just like Dr.Z predicted." Zander said, in shock the doctor was right again.
"Guess we better catch it." Ed said before they both jumped off the rocket, wincing once they landed on the ground from the pressure put on their knees, and silently cursing themselves for not using their seats like Ursula did before getting to work.
"All right, Triceratops/Stegosaurus! Alpha Slash!" Both men said as they summoned their dinosaurs.
"Forget it. You guys are not gonna get that Megaraptor, so get lost." Max told them.
The Megaraptor noticed her opponents and ran. She could maybe take one of them, but both at once was pushing it. Maximus chased after her and pushed her into the airport lobby, scaring away the people inside. She then grabbed the Megaraptor by the tail and threw her into a desk. She quickly ran over to the Megaraptor and held her down with her forelegs while Armatus began hitting the dromaeosaur's gut with his tail. "This is going to be easy." Maximus said.
"Yeah, clearly Megaraptors aren't very strong." Armatus responded as he continued striking their target.
Max and his team quickly ran inside and did not like what they were seeing. "Two ganging up on one?! That disgusts me!" Terry said angrily.
His brunette partner couldn't agree more. "Terry, you need to go save Megaraptor from those two." Max said as he got the Tyrannosaurus ready.
"DINO SLASH! BLAZE, TYRANNOSAURUS!"
Terry landed and charged towards Maximus. He knocked the Triceratops off the Megaraptor with his large head, giving her the opening to smack Armatus with her tail.
In the control room, the team was still trying to figure out what to do about the rocket. "Reese is in trouble up there. You've got to get that UFO thing off of the runway so she can land." Zoe told Stanley.
"Yeah, but even if we move the UFO, there's still going to be a big hole in that runway." Stanley told her. "And then, if that weren't bad enough, Reese is flying an aircraft with a damaged rudder. It's gonna be a very tuff landing."
"But you can help her, right?" Paris asked, her worry constantly building.
"No." Stanley replied, eyes closing in shame and disappointment.
"So what do we do?!" Zoe asked fearfully.
Seeing how distressed the girls were, Spiny decided to act himself. "Move aside, buddy. I'm taking over." The Spinosaurus said as he hopped onto the panel.
Before Stanley could remove him, they all heard Ursula gasp. "Uaaaaah! There you are, you beautiful man. I've finally found you. And you're even more handsome than I thought now that I see you up close." She said excitedly. "My eyes weren't deceiving me at all." She said as she scooted uncomfortably close to him. "You're my knight in polyester armor. And I'm Ursula."
"What is wrong with you, you weird old lady?" Zoe asked angrily, figuring out quickly how she got here.
"You stay out of this." Ursula growled at her. "Anyway, I am not old."
"Whatever! Just get out of here! 'Cause now that you and your fathead friends have crashed your ship into the runway and blocked my sister's plane from landing, so you're not just old! You're old and dumb!" Zoe yelled at her.
"Wasn't that obvious?" Spiny asked as he tried reading the controls.
Ursula growled so much that steam was coming from her ears. "You annoying little runts! I will not stand here and let you ruin my date with destiny!" She yelled at Zoe, making her wince.
"You're a little distracting, ma'am. Please leave." Stanley told Ursula, surprisingly unaffected by her shenanigans.
"Are you talking to me?" Ursula asked in shock as she backed away, making Zoe grin from ear to ear. "B-but we're supposed to be meant for each other!" She pouted like a child before gaining a vengeful smirk. "In that case, I'll make all of you pay with an Alpha Slash!"
"Oh, yeah!" Gigas said as he rose up from the floor, at least until he hit his head on the ceiling. "Ow! Son of a-"
"Okay, so is there anyone else here who'd like to make some smart comments about me, huh?" Ursula asked as she dodged the falling debris.
And the workers ran for their lives, leaving only Stanley and Zoe behind. "Whoa!" Stanley gasped at the sudden appearance of the Tyrannosaurus.
"You need to get out of here." Zoe told him as Gigas' head slowly got closer to them.
"No. I have to stay here for Reese. She needs these instruments so she can land." Stanley said, refusing to show any sign of fear. "Zoe, I need you to get somewhere safe."
"Hurry, Paris!" Zoe said as they ran to the other side of the room. "Let's go!" She said as she got out her Dino Holder and grew Paris to full-size. Stanley gasped when he realized that these dogs were actually dinosaurs.
Paris and Gigas both roared before engaging in a struggle that shook the whole room. "Uh, Gigas? Do you mind moving this battle outside, now?" Ursula asked nervously, not liking them fighting so close to her in such a tiny room.
"Whatever." Gigas said as he grabbed her crest and dragged Paris out the window.
"Oh, no! Paris!" Zoe cried as both dinosaurs fell to the ground.
While they fought, Terry and the Megaraptor managed to force Maximus and Armatus outside. The Megaraptor roared before speeding towards Armatus with several duplicates appearing beside her. The Stegosaur's eyes widened when he realized what move she was using. "Oh, no! Not Ninja Attack!" He exclaimed before he was pelted by clones repeatedly.
"Why is she attacking us but not the T-Rex?" Ed asked Zander.
"Clearly they formed some kind of alliance." Zander said. "Which means all we have to do is destroy that alliance with some Spectral Punisher!" He said as she slashed the Move Card.
Max noticed Maximus' horns grow and acted fast. "Then I'll use Volcano Burst!"
Terry roared as his eyes and mouth caught fire, neither hurting him, before he lowered his head and sent the flames toward Maximus at the same time she fired her attack. Both attacks hit their targets and both dinosaurs hit the ground.
At the tower, Zoe watched as Paris still battled with Gigas. "Mr. Stanley, how's my sister?"
"This is bad. Our radar's been destroyed by the debris." Stanley said. "Blue guy, how's the other controls?"
"All are dead." Spiny replied. "I think she's fucked."
Running over to make sure the Spinosaurus was telling the truth, Stanley saw that he was unfortunately correct as all the other controls were in the same shape as the radar. "I'm afraid he's right. She's on her own now." Stanley told Zoe before Reese made another call.
"Tower, do you read me? This is Tango 2-7–5. Come in, over."
"Yes, Reese, I hear you. What's your situation?" Stanley asked.
"We can't stay up here much longer. Request permission for an emergency landing, over."
"Permission denied. I'm sorry, but the runway's still blocked." Stanley said.
"Tower, I'm almost out of fuel. I think I have a leak." Reese said with urgency.
"Jam it, quickly!" Spiny suggested.
On the plane, Rex started to wake up and overheard what Reese said. "Did you say our fuel is leaking?" He asked Reese.
"Oh, Rex. How are you?" Reese asked him.
"Not very good. It's like a bad dream only it's real." He replied. "I feel kind of sick."
"Try to hang in there. We'll be on the ground soon." Reese told him.
"So, are Max and Zoe battling dinosaurs down there?" Rex asked, noticing the change in the color of the clouds.
"And did I just hear Spiny on the radio?" Tank asked.
"I think so. But we can't concern ourselves with that. Prepare for an emergency landing." Reese said, making the group tense.
Back with the fight, Gigas grabbed onto Paris' neck and started to shake it around like a rag doll. "Paris!" Zoe cried.
"I don't care what you have to do! Get that runway clear, do you understand?!" Stanley told some employees over the radio.
Zoe then remembered her secret weapon that could clear the runway in seconds. "Big Foot Assault." She whispered as she swiped the card.
Gertie rose up from behind Paris, roaring to signal her arrival. "Not you again." Gigas said as he backed away from Paris. Gertie walked slowly towards him before putting a foot on top of him and carding him just from the weight alone.
"Why, you big-" Maximus said before she leapt at the Seismosaurus to get revenge, who defeated her with one attack from her tail.
"Uh, oh. I'm getting out of here." Armatus said as he slowly started backing up. The Megaraptor noticed this and activated her second Move Card.
Two small tornados appeared from behind her and picked up Armatus. "What the?!" The Stegosaurus said in surprise. The Megaraptor then leapt on top of Armatus and kept on repeatedly hitting him with her feet. This kept going on until she gave one last kick with both feet and defeated him.
"Was that?" Gertie started to ask.
"Hurricane Beat." Terry answered before telling her. "Gertie, we need you to move the rocket off the runway."
"Right away." Gertie said as she got into position. With one wack from her tail, the rocket was sent flying away, clearing the path.
"Yaaah!" The Alpha Gang screamed as they saw their rocket get tossed away like a piece of trash.
Zoe recalled Gertie and smiled at her work. "Awesome."
Ed and Zander both went and picked up their cards. "Okay. Please tell me one of you has the Megaraptor Card, yes?" Ursula asked as she rejoined her teammates.
"We couldn't take her out. No thanks to you!" Zander accused Ursula.
"W-what'd you mean?" Ursula asked nervously.
"'Oh, my! I have to go find my dream man! You two go chase the dinosaur!' Sound familiar?" Ed rhetorically asked.
"So what?! Even cold-hearted villains need to have love in their lives, too, you know?!" She yelled at them before she started to weep. "We were meant to be."
"He must've snubbed her." Zander smugly whispered to Ed.
"I guess so." Ed replied with less smug.
"Sorry to interrupt, but it's time for you to scream and run away now." Max told them. Turning around, the trio saw Terry, Paris, and the Megaraptor glaring and growling at them.
"Yaaah!" The trio shook with fear before doing as they were told and hurried to their rocket. "You win this time, pipsqueaks. But we'll be back with an even bigger rocket!" Ursula declared.
"And sandwiches." Ed added before the capsule shut and the rocket flew away.
The group watched them fly away before noticing Reese's plane coming in. "Reese, good luck." Zoe prayed.
As Reese came closer, she noticed a lot more holes in the runway than just one. "Careful. The runways got a bunch of huge holes in it." Ace told her.
"I know, Ace. But I don't have enough gas to go around again. So I've got to land it." She told the Carnotaurus. "We've got one shot. Brace yourselves!" She said as they got closer to the ground. She opened up the hatch, and the wheels came out.
"I just remembered something." Zoe whispered to herself as she pulled out another Move Card. "Please work. Metal Wing."
The Pteranodons appeared and began searching for the target. "Paris, what's going on?" Jet asked, noticing a lack of enemy dinosaurs.
"It's the plane! You need to help with its landing!" Paris told them.
"You heard her, men. Each of you grab a wing." Jet told them.
"Yes, Alpha!" The trio quickly grabbed onto the plane with their feet: Turbo took the left wing, Glider took the right, and Jet himself grabbed onto the vertical stabilizer. Once they each got their grip, the pterosaur trio spread their wings in an effort to slow down the plane's descent. As it approached one of the ditches, the Pteranodons crouched down and simultaneously flapped their wings in sync, giving the plane a boost and helped keep it slightly in the air until it was over the ditches, then they reared back up and started flapping their wings more quickly so the plane could come to a safe stop, just in front of another ditch.
"All right!" Max cheered.
"It worked!" Zoe beamed as she recalled the Pteranodons and Paris.
"Phew! What a relief." Reese said.
"That was a close one." Rex said.
Once they exited the plane, the rest of the team ran over to greet them. "You're back! Are you all right?" Max asked.
"It sure feels good to be able to stand on solid ground again." Rex said as he hugged his stomach.
"Wow! Did you throw up in the plane?" Chomp asked.
"No, he did just fine." Reese said, smiling at Rex to comfort him so he wouldn't get embarrassed.
"Oh, yeah." Rex agreed, not wanting to tell them about him fainting.
"Were you scared?" Max asked, noticing his behavior
"Um, a little." The blonde admitted.
"Then I guess you and me will have to take the bus from now on." Chomp joked.
"Hey, Reese!" Zoe called out as she and Stanley ran towards them.
"Are you all right?" Stanley asked.
"Yes. Safe and sound." Reese told them. "I really appreciate the help. Thank you."
"Glad you made it down safe." Stanley said.
"Obviously, I was wrong about you, Mr. Stanley." Zoe said to him. "When you said you didn't like animals, I didn't think that you could be trusted. But I was wrong 'cause you tried really hard when it came time with saving Reese and Rex."
"Just doing my job as a controller." Stanley said as he scratched the back of his head.
"So, go ahead." Zoe told her sister. "If you want to date him, I'm totally cool with it."
"Huh?" Reese and Stanley said in shock and embarrassment. "What are you talking about, Zoe? Mr. Stanley happens to be married." Reese told her.
"What?!" Zoe gasped.
"I knew it!" Spiny said.
"But I thought the reason you were so happy on the way here was 'cause you were going to see each other." Zoe said.
"Don't you remember me telling you I was happy because I enjoy flying?" Reese asked her.
"I guess I didn't believe you." Zoe admitted.
"Well, no harm done. But you need to learn to control your imagination." Reese told her.
"And as for you Reese, may I suggest that you brush your teeth and perhaps bathe a little more often, and stop butting in line?" Stanley told her, making Reese confused and Zoe nervous.
"What? I never butt in line. And I'm a fanatic when it comes to cleanliness." Reese said before putting two and two together. "Zoe?" She growled before realizing her sister had made a run for it with her partners, a sheepish smile on her face that knew she was in trouble later. "Zoe! You get back here!"
"Maybe you could let her off the hook just this once." Rex told her. "After all, she did save us from crashing."
"That's true." Max agreed. "And we've got a new friend, too." The brunette gestured to the Megaraptor approaching them.
The Megaraptor looked down and noticed Ace at Rex's feet. She gave him a low growl before turning into cards in Rex's hands. "What was that about?" Rex asked Ace.
"She wants to challenge us to a match." Ace told him. "Something about 'testing our element'."
"Wonder what she means?" Rex thought as he looked at the cards in his hands.
While this went on, Stanley just looked at the damage behind him. "Unbelievable. Is it really possible that all this damage was done by dinosaurs?"

Once they all returned to the lab, the match had begun. Both combatants were standing in a large field: Rex and Ace on one side, and Meg the Megaraptor on the other. The rest of the team was off to the side, watching in anticipation.
"All right, Meg! You wanted this duel! Let's see what you got!" Rex said as Ace charged forward.
Meg did the same and they both collided with each other. While they tried to knock the other down, Ace saw an opening and bit onto Meg's arm. The Megaraptor responded by not roaring in pain, but by throwing Ace across the field. "Ace!" Rex called out.
"I'm fine!" Ace replied. "She's a lot stronger than she looks." The Carnotaurus charged towards her again. But she was able to stop him by grabbing onto his horns. The Megaraptor then quickly let go and bit onto his tail and tossed him across the field again.
Meg started running towards him again. This time, activating Ninja Attack. "Ninja Attack? We'll counter with Ultimate Wind!" Rex told Ace.
Ace did as instructed and charged towards Meg like a bullet. The two dinosaurs picked up speed before their attacks collided. Once they hit, both stopped on the other side. Meg stumbled a bit, but Ace collapsed and returned to his card. "Ace!" Rex cried with concern as he ran towards him. "You all right?"
The powers of the sanctuary allowed the card to reactivate on its own. "I'm fine." Ace said as he slowly got back up.
"You are strong." Meg said as she walked towards them. "But there are many more dinosaurs yet to be found. And they will only be stronger."
"How do you know this?" Chomp asked.
"Before we were all separated across this planet, the ones who made us cards would hold tournaments to see which element was stronger." Meg explained as she recalled the events
Meg was standing on a podium, covered with medals. Next to her were Trooper, Coal, a three-horned ceratopsian, a small ornithopod, and a sauropod with the gold medals around his neck.
"We had common champions of each element." Meg told them. "The Carcharodontosaurus was the strongest Fire Element, the Ankylosaurus was the strongest Earth Element, and I was the strongest Wind Element."
What about Lightning, Grass, and Water?" Zoe asked.
"You haven't found them yet." Meg told her. "Nevertheless, since you were able to use an Ultimate Move, we seem to have new champions on the rise, it is the responsibility of the previous champs to train them."
"I mean, I could try." Coal said, not really sure how to feel about the new position of being Terry's teacher.
"Did you not remember anything?" Meg asked. Coal shook her head. "What about you?" She turned to Trooper.
"They never asked." The Ankylosaurus shrugged.
"Well, now you'd better start getting to work on training the Tyrannosaurus and Saichania." Meg told them.
"Do I have to?" Trooper whined.
"Yes!" Meg hissed at him, making the group laugh at Trooper's reaction of shaking in fear. The training had begun.
Next time on Dinosaur King:
Spike: Loch Ness Monster has been spotted in these lakes
John: Any who see Neesie's ghost will be cursed
Ursula: Behold! Lady Nessie!
Max: Actually, that looks a lot more like an Amargasaurus
A/N: Well this was out faster than expected. Bet that pleases a lot of you.
A little behind-the-scenes trivia was that Spiny was originally going to take complete control of the tower after Stanley was knocked out, but I just didn't see it working so I just had him helping.
So, I added the last bit for two reasons. One was to give the Megaraptor more of a battle, since she got her ass handed to her in canon. The other was to introduced the masters.
I forget what their original purpose was, some White-Lotus like group that had something involving the Cosmo Stones I think? But now they are the ones who will train the D-Team for future battles. Who are the other three? Guess! I'll have a new poll for you all to make your assumptions.
Speaking of polls, here are the results from the last one: One for the restraining order, one for Ursula rather going to Hell old, and one when someone thinks they'll live happily ever after. Poor naive fool. (No offense)
I'll also point out that any dinosaurs that reappear in season 2 will have their Move Cards from both versions. Which means no doubles will show up.
With nothing else to say, have a Merry Christmas, or Happy Holidays for the rest of you, and I'll see you all after Christmas, but hopefully before New Years.
