"Talking"

"Thinking"

"Flashback"

It was a normal day in Paris, France. People were going along with their normal activities. One of these was a small cruise across a lake. "Bonjour, Monsieur et Madame!" A male voice said over the intercom. "Welcome to Par-ee! Bienvenue a notre paquebot de croisiere, s'il vous plait! Please enjoy our little cruise."

One of the passengers was Ursula wearing a yellow and red outfit with a purple hat. She was reading a magazine when someone walked up to her. "Oh?"

"Mademoiselle?" The waiter bowed.

"Ohhhh! Non, non, non!" Ursula exclaimed as she got up, speaking with a french accent. "Why are all you Frenchmen so taken with me? For once, I'd like to come to your lovely city and not have to listen to your sweet nothings." She told him. "Sometimes a girl just wants to relax and take in the beauty-"

"Tourists." The waiter grumbled as he walked away while Zander and Ed walked over to where Ursula was. "I only was asking to take her drink order."

"Par-ee is stunning, isn't it?" Zander asked Ed, who was eating some ice cream, as he took pictures on his camera.

"Oh, it's not just you." Ursula said as she laid down. "Men the world over are helpless when it comes to my beauty!" She cried with joy before turning to her teammates, killing the mood. "So, what should we go see next?"

"Well, how about the Arc de Triomphe, or the Notre Dame Cathedral, or the Louvre?" Zander suggested.

"Or a French restaurant to get some real French fries!" Ed exclaimed as he finished his ice cream.

"Or we could just carry your packages for you." Zander said as he and Ed carried boxes full of stuff Ursula bought.

"Dr.Z is gonna be mad when he sees what this cost." Ed pointed out.

"Oh, don't worry about him. He'll say I deserve it." Ursula waved it off before realizing what she said. "On second thought, maybe I'll stay in Paris."

"That was sneaking telling him a dinosaur appeared here." Ed added.

"All right, already!" Ursula yelled at him, fed up with the whining. "Yes, I made it up. I'm a bad girl. Are you happy?!" Her mood suddenly changed from annoyed to pleased with herself. "But he doesn't know that." She said with a smirk as she recalled how it went.

Ursula was watching as Dr.Z was doing some work. "Nothing like playing with dangerous chemicals for fun and relaxation!" He said to himself. "When I combine these two, it ought to make a beautiful miniature indoor rainbow." He said as he combined two chemicals. The result was an explosion and his face getting fried. "Or a small nuclear blast."

Ursula took this moment to strike. "Dr.Z, another dinosaur has just appeared in Paris!" She told him as she ran into the room.

"How is that even possible?" He asked her.

"Not the brat's dinosaur. The city in France." She corrected him.

"Oooh. Well, get going then."

"Right!" She saluted with a smile as Dr.Z fell over in pain and fainted. "It really worked!" She clapped her hands in glee. "Thank you very much!"

"You know he's gonna through you in the dungeon when he finds out you lied to him." Ed reminded her, snapping her out of the flashback.

"Yes, but at least I'll look fabulous while I'm there!" Ursula retorted as she struck a "cute" pose. "Let's go look in this shop next. Hee, hee, hee!" Zander and Ed could only groan. When you go on a shopping trip with a stereotypical girl it will make you wish for death.

"Ain't that the truth." Zander and Ed said.

(Intro Theme)

At the Taylor Household, the D-Team, along with Spike, were playing a game of kickball outside, or at least trying to with Chomp, Terry, and Spiny constantly chasing after the ball, trying and failing to pin it and falling over more often. While they played, Zoe was watching a fashion report from Paris. "The latest fashion from Paris has taken a surprising twist." The Anchorwoman said. "As you can see, children and adults alike are wearing fabulous dinosaur outfits." She said as she showed many pictures of the outfits.

"Oh, wow, those are really beautiful!" Zoe gushed at the screen.

"Even the critics seem charmed by the new look-" While the Anchorwoman continued on speaking, the Alpha Gang walked on screen, heading for another store.

"Huh? No way!" Zoe gasped. "You guys, come look at this!" She told the others.

The others walked in, with Max a little frustrated. "It better be good 'cause we were just about to-" Max stopped himself when he saw who was on the screen. "What? The old lady!"

All the way in Paris, Ursula heard the comment. "Somebody just called me an old lady! Who said that?!" She asked as she looked around before shoving her face into the camera. "You'll never get away with it, pipsqueaks!"

The D-Team, only slightly disturbed by the knowledge Ursula could hear that, just looked at each other. "Alpha Gang." Chomp muttered.

"Yeah, but I wonder what they're doing in Paris?" Zoe asked.

"They're in Paris!?" Spiny exclaimed before racing over to the Parasaurolophus, flipping her over, and jumping on her tummy. "I'll save you!" He said as he tried to perform the Heimlich maneuver. At least that what it looked like what he was trying by constantly jumping on her stomach.

"She meant the city, Spiny." Paris said as she shook him off.

"Oooh. Yeah, I had a feeling that name joke would happen at some point." Spiny said, earning a whack from Tank.

"I'll betcha there's another dinosaur there!" Max said.

"If there was, it would have been detected in our Dino Holders." Rex reminded him as he showed them a blank screen.

"They probably got confused by the dinosaur clothes." Spike guessed. "They're not the brightest bunch, are they?"

"Maybe they're just on a shopping trip." Ace guessed. "I remember them carrying around boxes like that when we were in London."

"I don't know. But I do know that wherever Alpha Gang goes, trouble follows." Zoe said grimly.

Back in Paris, a thunderstorm had started. The Alpha Gang were forced to take cover under a bridge, but that wasn't why they were upset. "Oh. How can all our cash be gone?" Ursula complained. "And with everything we bought, you didn't even think to buy an umbrella?!" She yelled at Zander and Ed.

"But, Ursula, you didn't let us buy even one thing for ourselves." Ed reminded her. "You said it was your job to spend all the money."

"That's true." Zander added.

"But it was your job to stop me before I bought that last pair of shoes!" Ursula screamed that them both while she started freaking out.

Zander and Ed winced at her tone. "There was no stopping you." They muttered.

Just then the Alpha Scanner started beeping, indicating someone was calling them. The trio all went pale, having a pretty good idea who it was. "If-if that's Dr.Z, throw that thing in the river!" Ursula told Ed.

Before he could, the Alpha Scanner leapt out of his hands and Dr.Z's face appeared. "I know what you three weasels are up to!"

At the same time, lightning struck a tree and destroyed it. The rain stopped a fire, but it did open up a capsule. The electricity flowed through the cards and they activated. The dinosaur was a three-horned ceratopsian like Chomp, only the horns above the eyes were curved so they were facing downwards instead of straight ahead. Its frill was more squared shaped with little bumps going all around it, two other bumps on the side of its mouth. It was light green, with dark green on its back. On its head were also yellowish stripes mixed with the green ones. This dinosaur was an Anchiceratops. Once it appeared, lightning struck again, giving the dinosaur a better reflection in the river.

"I checked and there was never a dinosaur in Paris!" Dr.Z yelled at them. "The whole thing was a big...fat...lie!" He jumped all of their heads with the scanner.

Ursula grabbed the scanner and tried to find a way out. "Yes, but Ed and Zander had their little hearts set on a trip to Paris and I couldn't bring myself to crush their dreams." She smiled innocently. Zander and Ed gasped at the reasoning, but the woman gave them a glare that shut them up. "Stow it." She muttered to them before grabbing some of her purchases. "Oh, and guess what Dr.Z? I got you one of these new dinosaur costumes that are all the rage! Only the most hip and chic are wearing them." She said as she got closer to the screen. "I'd just love to rush it home to you right now, however, it seems we're a little short of cash for the trip."

Dr.Z growled at her attempts to bargain with him. "Have a nice walk home across the ocean, then, 'cause I'm not sending you one more nickel!"

Ursula fell over in defeat as the Alpha Scanner landed in Zander's hands. He then noticed it was blinking in a different tone. "Hey, Ursula, look at this."

"Can't you see I'm in the middle of something!" She yelled at him before he showed her the scanner. "Huh?"

"Oh?" Dr.Z looked at the map that appeared and saw where the dinosaur signal was coming from. "Impossible! A dinosaur has just appeared in Paris!"

Ursula saw this as an opportunity. "Like I was saying, we'll need some cash for expenses." She smiled slyly.

"Uh."

"Oh! And if you can arrange for a deluxe suite at a 5-star hotel, that should do it."

"Uhhhhh." Dr.Z began to sweat as he tried to figure out what to say. "Oh, you're breaking up! I'm losing you! Must be some-crxxsh! Problem with the-zzhhch-communicator shhk ehhh! Just go get that dinosaur! Beeeeeeeeeeeeep!" He held up a sign of a TV screen error. "Are you still there?"

"Hey! You can just forget about these souvenirs!" Ursula yelled at the screen.

In his room, Max and his dinos were sound asleep when the Dino Holder started to go off. "Wake up, guys! We got a new dinosaur sighting!" Rex told them as he entered the room.

"What're you doing with my cheeseburger!?" Max asked in his sleep.

"Huh?" Chomp and Terry asked as they got up and stretched.

"That one's mine! The one with the tomatoes and the pickles on it." He reached his arm out as he tried to grab nothing. "I was just-aah!" He yelled as he fell off of the bed with his dinos in tow.

"Paris, France." Rex said as he looked at the map in the D-Lab.

"Hey, that's where the old lady is." Spiny remembered.

All the way in Paris, Ursula sneezed at someone mentioning her age.

"How'd they know a dinosaur was going to show up there?" Max asked as he yawned, still trying to wake up.

"I think I was all pure coincidence." Reese said. "I doubt their detection equipment is any better than our own, and this one just appeared a few moments ago."

"Perhaps." Rex said as he turned to ask someone else. "Thorn, you were at the Alpha Gang's base for a while. Do you have any idea how their detection system works?"

Thorn thought for a bit. "If I remember from what I overheard Gigas and the others talking about once, it's pretty much the exact same. Only difference is the times when the old man plays with his bones to detect locations."

"What do you mean by that?" Reese asked, getting interested.

"He supposedly throws some dinosaur bones on a map and assumes where they land is where the next card will activate." The Styracosaurus explained.

"You mean he makes predictions?" Ace asked.

"That makes sense." Spike said. "They were at London right when Tank appeared."

"And their rocket crashed into Reese's plane before Meg was activated." Terry remembered. "So, it could be possible this was another one of his predictions."

"So that's why they always show up so quickly." Rex said as he gave a palm-fist tap.

"Seems pretty dumb if you ask me." Tank said. "How on earth can a bunch of bones actually predict the next dinosaur location?" She asked, finding big holes in this logic.

"Things work slightly differently for those clowns." Was Terry's answer, one which Tank had to agree with from what they've seen them go through.

"Well, now that we know why they're there, are you kids set to go?" Spike asked them.

"Mmm-hmm." Everyone nodded.

Except for Zoe. "Hey, wait, not so fast!"

"What's wrong?" Paris asked.

"I don't get to go to Paris very often!" Zoe said. "Shouldn't I wear something more fashionable?"

"Agh!" Max nearly fell down at the question. "We're not going for a photoshoot!" He reminded her.

"Fine." The pinkette pouted. Why must everyone always be such killjoys?

After the teleportation, the team had arrived in Paris. "Here we are, I guess." Max said as he looked around.

Zoe quickly ran to the nearest balcony with her team and gasped when she looked at the view. "Oh! I can't believe we're really in Paris!" She exclaimed. "Isn't this fantastic?"

"But it's such a big city that it's hard to know where to start looking." Rex pointed out.

"True." Zoe nodded, seeing this as an excuse to explore the city.

Max thought for a bit before turning to a man who was taking a picture behind him. "Excuse me, sir."

"Hmmm?"

"Have you heard anything about a dinosaur that might have shown up around here recently?" Max asked him, hoping he'd get a good answer.

"Of course! Paris is full of dinosaurs lately!" The man replied as he gestured to the people around them, all of them wearing dinosaur-themed outfits.

"Whoa!" Max gasped, surprised he only just know noticed then. It was then he also remembered there was a dinosaur trend going on in Paris.

Chomp yawned a bit, still slightly sleepy, before he noticed a cat ran by, dressed up like an ankylosaur." I think I found it!" He said as he started chasing after it.

"Hey! Hold on, Chomp! Come back here!" Max called out as he ran after the Triceratops. He then tripped and his Dino Holder slid across the ground. When Max got up, he noticed sparks flowing around it. "Oh! I hope it didn't break!" He said as he picked it back up.

"Guys, help me catch him!" Chomp told the rest of the dinosaurs as he ran right past them.

Aside from Ace, the rest of them joined him and they chased the cat into the bushes. "Hey!" Zoe and Rex exclaimed as they ran after them. "Come back!" But the dinosaurs couldn't hear them as they went deeper into the city.

By a lake in the park, the Anchiceratops was currently waking up from a nap. This was the only place in the whole area where she was able to get enough quiet to sleep.

With the Alpha Gang, they were currently searching the city for the dinosaur. "I'm starving." Ursula whined. "And we don't even have enough money to buy a croissant."

"Maybe we should try to sell back some of these clothes you bought?" Zander suggested and he gestured to the large green trash bags that contained the boxes Ursula bought the two men were carrying.

Ursula turned around and yelled at him. "Have you lost your mind!? Forget it!"

"It could take a long time to find the dinosaur." Ed pointed out. "It's possible we could starve." Just then, he noticed a tail poking out from an alleyway. "Hey! There it is!" He pointed out before they ran over to it. "Get ready for battle!"

"Should I call out Brontikens?!" Ursula asked as they slid to a stop.

But the tail was only part of someone's hat. The trio fell over in embarrassment. "Ohh!"

"People should not be allowed to dress like dinosaurs. It's confusing." Zander said as he got back up.

"Hey, maybe we should all get dinosaur outfits!" Ursula suggested, liking the idea of following the trend.

"Please, no." Zander and Ed replied. The last thing they needed was to be in debt from all this spending.

At a racetrack, two men were watching as some horseback riders ran by. They were soon followed by the Anchiceratops, who was wandering in the area. "Oooh!" They both gasped at the sight of her. Due to the trend, they thought this was just a horse dressed up. "That was one big horse."

"I'd sure like to know what kind of oats it's been eating"

The Anchiceratops continued on running until she stopped by a truck. As she caught her breath, a car drove by and honked its horn at her. Startled by the noise, the Anchiceratops jumped into the truck, which was conveniently carrying dinosaur models so the people wouldn't tell the difference, and was driven away.

Back with the D-Team, they were still chasing after their dinosaurs. "Stop, guys!" Rex called out to them.

"Come back, guys! It's not a dinosaur!" Zoe said.

Terry sniffed the cat a few times and realized it wasn't a dinosaur. "Okay, not cool, bro." He said to the cat.

Paris stopped when she heard Zoe's distress, but the others continued in chasing the cat into the crowd. Too distracted or too stupid to listen to their partners calling out to them.

The team looked over the balcony and gasped when they saw all the people and pets in dinosaur costumes. "This'll make it extra hard to find them!" Max said as he looked around frantically for Chomp.

"We can use our Dino Holders to call them back." Rex quickly remembered. He and Zoe pressed and button and Spiny and Tank were called back and then called back out. The two of them shrunk down from the glares their partners were giving them.

"Yeah, good idea, Rex!" Max said as he mimicked his friends. But it did nothing while Chomp continued on wandering in the crowd. Max continued on pressing the button until he realized what was going on. "Oh, no! It did break!" He exclaimed, shaking the device in hopes that might get it working "Not again!"

"Chomp's gone again, too." Spiny pointed out. "Talk about Deja Vu. Hey, that rhymed!"

Max ignored him and yelled out as loud as he could. "Hey, Chomp!"

With the Anchiceratops, the truck had stopped right by and building and opened up. The Anchiceratops opened her eyes and the bright light and noise ruined her nap. "Okay, back her out now, nice and easy!" A man said as a forklift moved the models out of the truck. "That's it! Stop right there! Now take her down!" All this time the Anchiceratops could only look around in confusion. She had no idea what was going on, or what was going to happen to her.

With Chomp, he was currently walking with a trio of women wearing Triceratops hats. "Okay, just blend in." Chomp thought. "Just pretend to be a dog, and hopefully no one will look at me funny."

He then stopped to give out a sigh of frustration. It didn't take him too long to realize he was chasing a cat, and that he was separated from Max again. "Maybe I should get a beeper for times like this." He suggested before he started following a woman dressed like a Pteranodon. "Hopefully, she'll be more helpful in finding the others."

"Ooh, a fashion show is about to start!" Ursula said with excitement was the Alpha Gang walked by the building.

"That's nice, but I think we're supposed to be looking for a dinosaur." Ed reminded her.

"Well, maybe it's inside the fashion show." Ursula retorted. "You don't know, do you?" She said as they walked to the entrance.

Once they arrived, a guard stopped them. "May I see your invitation please, Mademoiselle?" The guard asked Ursula.

"He's got it." Ursula said, pointing behind her.

"Monsieur?"

"Uh, he's got it." Ed told him.

"Monsieur?"

"He's got it." Zander told him.

A giant foot then stopped in front of him. "Huh?" The guard looked up and saw Brontikens rearing up. "Aaaagh!" He screamed before Brontikens was recalled. "Huh? What? Wha-" The guard asked as he tried to recollect himself. As he did, Chomp and the lady he was following showed the man her identification and entered the building. "Bonjour." He recollected himself and greeted with a bow.

In another part of the city, the D-Team were continuing their search for both Chomp and the dinosaur. "Oh, this city is too big." Max moaned. "We're never gonna find Chomp."

Back at the fashion show, models continued on strutting down the runway and showing off their costumes. One was dressed up like a red Pteranodon before one dressed up like a Orange Triceratops came in next. "C'est fantastique!" Ursula said with delight.

"Where are all the boys clothes?" Ed asked, getting kind of bored of only seeing women on stage wearing clothes he can't wear.

"Ooh, now that one has Ursula written all over it!" Ursula beamed as the next model started approaching. Well, if she would count as a model. "Isn't this better than chasing some old dinosaur?" The greenette asked her teammates. It was then they realized what the next model was. "Huh?"

"What's this?" Someone asked, thinking this was part of the show, along with the rest of the audience. In reality, this was the Anchiceratops.

"Another design I guess." Someone else replied.

"Must be a plus-size model." A woman said.

"I think it's fantastic!" Another woman said.

"Look at that!" Ed exclaimed while Ursula gasped, being the only ones who knew it was an actual dinosaur.

"An Anchiceratops!" Zander identified.

All the bright lights and camera flashes were starting to get on the Anchiceratops' nerves. She waved her head around as she tried to get them to leave like they were flies. "I'll bring out Armatus to take on this guy." Ursula said as she got out her Alpha Scanner.

"Excuse me!" Chomp said as he bounced on her head to get onto the stage, landing in front of the Anchiceratops. "It's okay, Sister! They're just having fun." Chomp attempted to assure the Anchiceratops before he started barking and dancing to distract the peoples attention.

Everyone applauded and cheered for the performance, but all the noise made the Anchiceratops even more agitated. Having enough of it all, she reared up and gave out a loud roar. The audience gasped at this change of events. "Oh, shit." Chomp muttered as he saw where this was going.

"That seems real." A woman said.

"Something's wrong."

"This isn't cute anymore!"

Another roar gave the audience the right idea to make a run for it. This gave the Alpha Gang an advantage. "Perfect! Now we can capture him without all these people-aaaah!" She couldn't finish before a whole crowd of people stampeded over them. "Parisians are quite fast." Ursula muttered as the dust in the room cleared, leaving behind three pancakes.

"Uh, oui, oui." Zander muttered.

"This could take forever to find Chomp." Max sighed.

"Can't you just look him up on a Dino Holder that isn't broken?" Terry asked.

"We don't get signals with you guys like this." Rex said as he showed that only the new one's signal was showing up.

"I say we should find the new one first, then look for Chomp." Tank suggested. "Maybe the battle will attract him to us."

Before anyone could respond to the Saichania's idea, they heard some people talking about something on TV. "They look so real too." Someone said.

"Check out the dinosaurs."

"Ah, tres jolie."

The D-Team looked to see the fashion show being shown on a jumbo screen. Chomp and the Anchiceratops were both in the center of the camera before Chomp led the Anchiceratops away. "You guys, that was Chomp!" Max exclaimed.

"You're right! And he's with an Anchiceratops!" Paris exclaimed with a bit of worry. "They're known to be a bit aggressive at times." She informed them.

"Then let's hurry!" Max said as they ran to where the Anchiceratops was.

Back with Chomp, he and the Anchiceratops were currently in the middle of the street, dodging all of the incoming cars. The people remained inside the cars, refusing to come out or even drive with a dinosaur on the streets.

Chomp looked around before turning to the Anchiceratops. "It's okay!" He assured her. "They are not trying to hurt you. Just follow me, and we'll get somewhere safe." The Anchiceratops nodded as they both left the streets.

By the time the D-Team arrived where the fashion show was, there was no sign of the dinosaurs. "Excuse me, Mister?" Max asked the guard from before.

"Oui?"

"Do you know where that dinosaur went?"

"Oui, it's somewhere over there." He pointed in the direction the Anchiceratops and Chomp went.

"Awesome. Thank you!" Max said as they ran in that direction.

Chomp and the Anchiceratops had managed to find shelter under the bridge the Alpha Gang was under earlier. "See? I told you'd we find someplace nice and quiet." Chomp told the Anchiceratops. "We just need to wait here until my friends show up, and we can leave this city completely."

"Well, well! It looks like fate has provided me with a couple of new canvasses to turn into living works of art!" A familiar man dressed up like a painter said. "Ha! This shall be my masterpiece!"

"Excuse me?" Chomp asked as he recognized the man as the one who gave them the Card Folio.

The man ignored him and got out his brush. "Hmm! Hya! Take that, Picasso! I'll show you genius!"

When he was done, both of them were covered in many patterns of paint, Chomp particularly looking like a clown due to being in chibi-form. The Anchiceratops clearly showed a disliking for this as she started shaking her head around again. "Well, my work here is done." The man said. "Off I go to find new objects to transform with my brushes of brilliance!"

"Hey! We didn't-"

"No need to thank me! Farewell, my loyal subjects!"

As he left, many people noticed the duo of ceratopsians and started taking pictures of them, thinking they were statues. The Anchiceratops shook her head around again in agony. "This is not good." Chomp said as he looked around for a means of escape. He found one in the source of the river. "Quick! In the river!" He told the Anchiceratops as he jumped in, with her soon following with a huge splash that nearly swept Chomp away. "Whoa!"

The Alpha Gang were currently on the top of the Arc de Triomphe looking for the Anchiceratops. "If you were a dinosaur, where were you hide?" Ursula asked as she and Zander looked around with binoculars.

"I would hide anywhere I wanted to." Zander answered. "I mean, who's gonna stop me if I'm a dinosaur?"

Just then, the ground started to shake. The Alpha Gang looked down in fear due to their great height. "Does Paris get earthquakes?" Ed asked.

"No. I think that sound came from the manhole." Zander said. The manhole then burst as the Anchiceratops and Chomp both exited from it.

"Well, today is our lucky day." Ursula smirked.

"It sure isn't for those people stuck in traffic. That manhole just became a dinosaur-hole." Zander said.

The cars began honking their horns at the Anchiceratops in order to get her to move off the road. All this did was agitate her even more. Roaring in anger, she charged until she collided with the arc, causing the whole thing to shake. "Whooah!" The Alpha Gang screamed as the whole arc shook. The Anchiceratops Just continued on hitting the arc, again and again, creating a large hole where she attacked. "Are you looking for a fight!?" Ursula rhetorically asked as she called out Armatus. Once the Stegosaurus landed, the Anchiceratops stopped attacking the arc and turned her attention to the challenger.

The D-Team quickly noticed as the Battlefield activated. "It's a Battlefield." Terry said.

"Then that's where the dinosaur will be." Ace told them.

"How do we find it?" Max asked the others.

"I know." Zoe said before calling out. "Hey, you! Old lady! Listen up! We all know that you're like 40 years old!"

"How dare you!" Ursula yelled back all the way from their location, thankfully within the D-Team's eyesight. "I'm still sixteen, and I have been for years!"

Rex immediately identified where the source came from. "The Arc de Triomphe!"

Back with the fight, the Anchiceratops was currently hitting Armatus in the face with her front paws. "Ooooh! What was it I'm supposed to do in this situation?" Armatus muttered as he tried going into a defensive curl. The Anchiceratops just continued on hitting his side.

"40 years old! She's got some nerve!" Ursula growled at the insult.

"Never mind that. We've got a problem." Zander told her.

"Yeah, Armatus is losing, and bad." Ed added.

"Huh?" Ursula looked down and saw that the Anchiceratops was still hitting Armatus. "Armatus! Get up and just dodge its attacks!" Ursula yelled at him.

"Oh, that's what I'm supposed-" He was cut off when the Anchiceratops roared, hit him again, and sent him rolling away, knocking down some trees in the process like they were bowling pins.

"He bowled a strike!" Zander joked.

"Hey, will you get serious?!" Ursula yelled as she hit him on the head.

Seeing her opponent was down, the Anchiceratops started to kick her hind legs around like a mad bull. At the same time, the rest of the D-Team arrived. "Oh! She's furious!" Paris gasped. "The Alpha Gang must have really upset her."

"Guys!" They looked and saw Chomp coming towards them.

"Chomp! Where have you been? You really scared me!" Max scolded the Triceratops.

"I'm sorry, but we don't have time for that! I have a plan to calm her down! Just be ready to run!" He told them before he ran back to the Anchiceratops. He made some chirps and he started spinning around, hoping to get her attention.

"What are you doing?" Max asked him.

Chomp ignored him and continued on trying to attract the Anchiceratops. Eventually, he got her attention and began to lead her away from the arc and towards the D-Team. "Move!" Chomp told them as they ran away from the dinosaur now right behind them.

"You idiot! You're gonna get us trampled!" Tank yelled at him as they ran from the Anchiceratops.

"We've got to turn around and battle!" Terry said.

"No! I've got a plan that can avoid us a fight! Just trust me on this!" Chomp assured his Tyrannosaurus brother.

Back with the Alpha Gang, Armatus was currently stuck on his back again. "Well, that's it for Armatus." Ursula said as she recalled him, knowing that even if they did flip him over he'd still get defeated. "So, use Gigas and go get that dinosaur, now!"

"We're on our way!" Zander and Ed saluted.

Back with the D-Team, Chomp continued on leading them deeper into a park that was right by the Eiffel Tower. "How much further are you gonna take us, Chomp?!" Max asked, starting to get tired from all the running.

"We're here!" Chomp said as he stopped in a clearing.

"Where are we?" Tank asked.

She didn't get time for an answer, as the Anchiceratops appeared behind them and roared at them. "Aaaah!" The rest of the team screamed as it poked like there was about to be a fight.

Chomp saw this and quickly jumped in front of her, rearing up on his hind legs with his forelegs spread out. "Stop it! These are my friends I was telling you about! Don't you realize where you are?"

The Anchiceratops stopped and looked around at her surroundings. Gone were the many cars and annoying people, replaced with the tranquility of the forest. The rest of the team was able to calm down when they saw the tension leave the Anchiceratops. "Well, whatever you did, it's working." Tank told him.

"You knew what was her problem the whole time, didn't you?" Ace assumed.

Chomp nodded in confirmation. "Coming from the prehistoric world, this world would be completely different for her. She would have to adapt to all the cars, noise, and people in just a couple of seconds. And given how Anchiceratops are a normally angsty species, she could have easily gone on a rampage and gotten herself and many others killed." He explained.

"What'd we do now?" Spiny asked.

"I know." Zoe said.

A little while later, the kids were dressed up with headpieces of a Triceratops, Carnotaurus, and Parasaurolophus respectively. "This is weird." Max said as he and Rex both found this way more embarrassing than Zoe did.

"Yeah, but now that we're all dressed up like dinosaurs, I'm sure she'll be more comfortable with us." Zoe explained.

The Anchiceratops looked at them before she gave a small roar. "This is probably even more upsetting." Max joked.

"Maybe." Rex commented.

"See?" Zoe told them as she pointed to their dinosaurs playing near the Anchiceratops. "Now everyone's happy and peaceful. What can go wrong?"

Out of nowhere, Gigas suddenly appeared from the trees. "Gigas!" The D-Team exclaimed.

"That's me!" He said arrogantly before he lifted up the Anchiceratops with his head and threw her across the park.

"We'll take that dinosaur now, thank you!" Ursula told them as the Alpha Gang revealed themselves.

"Then you'll have to get through us first!" Max said as he removed his headpiece and got out his Dino Holder. "Oh, man. I hope you work." He said as he pressed the button to recall Chomp. The process was a success as the screen lit up and Chomp's card soon appeared in his hand. "Yes!"

"DINO SLASH! TRICERATOPS, ROAR!"

Chomp landed and distracted Gigas from his main target. Getting back up, the Anchiceratops looked at Gigas will complete furry. She roared before she charged up Her Move Card. She charged toward Gigas before hitting him with her tail, knocking him down to the ground. She then went to his stomach and started pushing him across the dirt in a U-shape before stopping. "That Death Grind was helpful in damaging him." Chomp told Max.

"Then let's add the finishing blow! Gatling Spark!" He said as he swiped another new Move Card.

Electricity once again flowed through Chomp's body before he attacked Gigas. He began jolting and pricking him and tiny bolts of electricity flew out from behind the Tyrannosaurus before Chomp smashed him away, defeating him.

"Aaah!" The Alpha Gang gasped before getting hit by a stray spark and fainting. "Fried again?" Ursula moaned as Gigas' card flew into her hands.

"I thought that lightning never strikes twice." Ed commented.

"Au revoir, Pa-ree!" Zander said as they crawled away.

Chomp gave out a roar of victory before turning to the Anchiceratops. She was panting heavily before she gave out a roar and returned to her card. They both landed on the ground and were picked up by Rex. "Yes." He quietly celebrated another success.

"That was great Max, but I thought you said your Dino Holder wasn't working." Zoe said.

"Yeah, I guess I fixed it myself." Max thought before shrugging it off with a smile. "Who needs Reese?" He said, making Zoe groan in annoyance.

Once everyone was home, Max decided to have his parents dress up like everyone else in Paris. "You guys look great!" He told them.

"Now this is how a man should dress!" Spike said with pride at his outfit.

Aki was a little more embarrassed. "It's a lovely gift, Max, but are you sure women actually walk around like this?"

"Mm-hmm." Max nodded.

"Excuse me, everyone." They all turned to see Reese, wearing a dinosaur outfit as well, come into the room. "I'm on my way out for the evening, but I wanted to drop off Max's Dino Holder. I checked it out and there's nothing wrong with it."

"But for a while, it was totally dead." Max told her.

"Most likely it suffered some kind of physical shock and shut itself down but then was able to re-boot itself after a while." Reese told him.

"So it did just fix itself." Max said, making Zoe look at him funny.

"You'd fit right in Paris, Reese." Rex told her.

"Yeah? Thank you." Reese said with a blush.

At the D-Lab, the dinosaurs were trying their own fun with fashion. But instead of dresses, it was paint. "Come on, guys!" Terry said as he was pushing Trooper and the Anchiceratops, known as Francine, to where Utah was painting the others. "It's not like the paint is permanent or anything."

"I'd rather not get covered up with that paint again." Francine said as she tried digging her feet into the ground, but it didn't do much since Terry was bigger. She really did not want to ever be reminded of that accursed city ever again.

"I swear, can anyone let me sleep in peace anymore?" Trooper mumbled as he tried laying down, but that proved pointless.

At Zeta Point, Ursula was showing Dr.Z the gifts she bought him. "Oh, you look so handsome, Dr.Z." She told the doctor.

Dr.Z was currently wearing one of the outfits Ursula bought for him, a green theropod suit. "I do look younger in this, don't I? Hee hee!"

"So we didn't bring you back a dinosaur, but we brought you back a nice gift, right?" Ursula asked him, hoping they would make him not want to punish them harshly.

"Yes, yes!" Dr.Z agreed.

"No hard feeling about the large credit card bills, I'm sure?" Ursula asked him again.

"I'm feeling very forgiving and dinosaur-y!" Dr.Z told her, making Ursula smile in victory.

"Yes!" She cheered, having dodged a bullet there.

Or so she thought. "Well, I'm not feeling very dinosaur-y!" Helga said as she came into the room, making Ursula and Dr.Z tense in fear. "You went to Paris, maxed out the credit cards, and all you brought me back was this great big mess?!"

"No, you got a dance!" Dr.Z and Ursula told her. "Ready? Alpha Gang went off to France! And brought Helga this can-can dance!" The duo were soon joined in by Zander and Ed. "Alpha Gang went off to France and brought Helga this can-can dance!"

"So, you couldn't even get me a t-shirt?!" Helga asked with furry.

Next time on Dinosaur King:

Ursula: What's Alpha Metal?

Dr.Z: It's a rare and valuable resource used to power up our machines

Zoe: A Futabasaurus Card?

Tank: Spiny! Get that thing under control or else!

A/N: And so we have the first chapter of 2018. Hope you all enjoyed it.

So some interesting BTS trivia would be that Francine was originally supposed to go on a rampage after defeating Gigas. She would have defeated Chomp before Spiny defeated her. But it didn't feel right so it was cut. Another cut scene would be the part where Francine farted on Gigas as part of her Move Card. But I found it to be completely stupid so I removed it.

Speaking of Francine, we got someone on the poll who guessed she was the lighting Champion. Sadly, that's not the case. Keep on voting guys!

See you all next chapter.
