DK
In one of the ancient temples in Cambodia, a group of tourists were admiring the artwork of the place. "Welcome, visitors to the temple at Angkor Wat." A man said to them. "We hope you will enjoy your tour of this ancient and grand place built in the early 12th century, and now world-famous as the very symbol of Cambodia. The temple is admired for its architecture and the bas-relief sculptures which adorn its walls."
One of the sculptures was of a goddess defeating a serpent with plates on its back. In a crack, a capsule was hidden before it fell from the crack and landed on the ground. The capsule opened up and two cards fell to the ground. Once they made contact with the earth, they activated and the dinosaur appeared, confusing many tourists and locals.
The dinosaur was a light purple, with the top of its back being a very dark purple and the legs being tan. On its back were plates like the ones from the serpent, colored dark purple and mixed with light purple and cyan. The plates went from tiny ones at the tip of its neck to the start of the tail. The tail had four purple spikes at the end. This dinosaur was the same species as Armatus. It was a Stegosaurus.
Once the glow faded and the Stegosaurus was able to be clearly seen, the tourists began to panic and run for their lives. "Aah! This was a bad idea!" Someone screamed as all the tourists ran out of the temple.
The locals were terrified as well, but for a different reason. "Oh, as it was written." The leader gasped. "The mythological beast has returned! Sound the alarm and evacuate these tourists immediately!" He ordered the others.
The sounds of gongs being rung was heard throughout the temple, indicating a state of emergency. The constant ringing caused the Stegosaurus to become agitated and annoyed. Roaring in anger, she smashed down a wall before running into the jungle and vanishing from sight.
(Intro Theme)
"So how'd you do on that pop quiz we took today, Max?" Zoe asked as she, Max, and Rex walked home from school. She knew that Rex did good, he was one of the top students in their class. And she had been studying hard with both him and her sister, so she was not worried about herself. But Max seemed to have a problem with both paying attention in class and studying.
"Uh, good enough." Max answered, showing a bit of nervousness. "I was the first one done. Heh, heh, heh." He chuckled nervously before he heard the familiar beeping of the Dino Holder. "Huh?" They pulled it out and saw the signal coming from a spot that looked like Southeast Asia. "Cool. Another dinosaur's appeared." Max said as they ran to the D-Lab.
DK
Once they arrived, they already saw their dinosaurs waiting for them by the platform. "Where's the dinosaur this time?" Max asked as he ran over to Chomp and Terry.
"Cambodia in Southeast Asia." Spike answered while looking at the map.
"Cambodia?" Max asked as they went over to see the map for themselves.
"Angkor Wat, to be exact." Reese confirmed.
"Which is a famous temple, by the way, surrounded by dense jungle and ancient ruins." Spike added.
"Awesome. Let's go." Max said as they tossed their bags to the ground and went to the teleporter.
When Max's bag landed, a piece of paper fell right out of it and caught Spike's attention. Looking down at it, he noticed a big, red 45 on it. He grabbed the paper and noticed it was a math test. "Rrgh." He said as he quenched the paper in his hands. "Tell me you didn't really get a 45 on your math test!" Spike said angrily.
"Oh!" Max gasped before he quickly grabbed it from his father's hands.
"That explains why you were the first one done. You didn't put any thought into it." Zoe accused the brunette.
"Yeah, I did." Max grumbled in embarrassment as he crumbled up the test and put it in his pocket. "I thought I knew the answers." He said before joining back up with his friends.
"Listen to me, young man. When you get home, you're hitting the books." Spike told his son before he teleported away.
"Surely he can't be that bad at math." Utah said as she walked over to him.
"Considering this score, I'm positive a wild dinosaur would know math better than him." Spike answered.
DK
When the D-Team arrived, they found themselves in the exact spot the Stegosaurus was released. "So this must be Angkor Wat." Chomp said as he looked around. "Do you think we should start looking for the dinosaur inside the temple?"
"I don't think so." Terry said as he gestured to the hole in the wall the Stegosaurus made with his head. "Judging from that hole, I'm assuming it's already gone into the jungle."
"Well, that makes things much easier." Tank said sarcastically. "What better place to find a dinosaur in the modern-day than in a jungle filled with wild animals."
"Uh.."
"Don't answer that." Tank told Spiny before smacking his head again.
"Children, the temple is closed." The village leader said as he and a group of villagers carrying shovels and pickaxes walked over to them. "A mythological monster has awakened. You're not safe here." He warned them.
"What mythological monster?" Max asked.
"It's a terrifying beast that came out of the jungle many centuries ago and destroyed entire villages in this area." The leader explained.
"This is it, huh, in this picture?" Rex asked as he and Ace walked over to the artwork that the capsule came out from, not that they knew that last bit of information.
"Yeah, but look." Ace pointed out. "It shows some woman steeping on its head."
"That is the goddess Lola who arose in human form to defeat the creature." The leader told them.
"Lola, huh? Maybe she'll show up today and help us catch the dinosaur." Max said sarcastically.
"Very funny." Tank said, unamused by the joke.
"You guys, I think it's pretty obvious they think the dinosaur is this monster of theirs." Paris said as she looked at the monster in the picture.
"I agree. Let's just play along with them for now." Chomp said before turning to the villagers. "We'll help you fight this monster."
DK
At Zeta Point, Rod and Laura were currently doing their homework when Seth walked in. "Laura, Rod, another dinosaur had appeared." He said as he held up two blinking scanners.
"Yeah?" Rod asked as he quickly got up. "All right. Come on, Laura." He said before running out of the room.
"Are you kidding me, Rod?" Laura asked while poking her head out of the room, making her brother stop in confusion at her hesitation. "If Helga catches us sneaking out before all our homework is done, she'll blow a major fuse." She reminded him, looking around to make sure the maid didn't already see them.
"She's too busy cooking to notice you as long as you're quiet heading for the aircraft hangar." Seth assured them.
"Perfect." Rod said as they went for the hangar. Even though Laura still had her concerns, she'd rather go on another mission than study all day.
As they approached the kitchen, they heard Helga humming, signaling that she was busy. Rod and Laura quickly peeked in to make sure that she was still busy stirring the pot before quietly running past the door.
But once they reached the other side, Helga appeared in front of them from nowhere. "Aah!"
"Just where do you think you're running off to?" Helga asked them.
"Uh, we were just going out to do some research, right?" Rod quickly responded.
"Yeah. That's right." Laura answered with the same level of fear as her brother. "We're doing a report on the Angkor Wat Temple."
"If it's a fact-finding trip you're taking, then I shall accompany you." Helga told them.
"Huh?" Rod and Laura gasped. How are they supposed to get the dinosaur now without Helga busting them in the act?
DK
"Yaah!" Dr.Z groaned in pain. "My back is killing me, and you three are only making it worse!" He accused his minions. Ursula was currently sitting on the bed with a bowl of porridge while Zander and Ed watched. "Why are you here when you should be in Cambodia getting me that Dinosaur Card?"
"Because we can't leave until you eat this porridge." Ursula answered as she finished cooling it down and handed a spoonful to Dr.Z, who was whimpering in pain from all that shouting.
"Helga thinks it's our fault that you won't eat, so she's refusing to feed us until you eat every bite." Zander explained.
"But if you need help with that porridge, just let me know." Ed volunteered.
"Open up the hangar. Here comes the airplane." Ursula smiled as she moved the spoon closer to the doctor's mouth.
Dr.Z opened his mouth and Ursula put the spoon in. Immediately, he felt like his mouth was going catch on fire. "Yaah! That's hot!" He screamed as he threw up his porridge all over Ursula.
"You little, spoiled brat!" Ursula exclaimed in frustration, forgetting she was yelling at her boss. "Do you realize how long it'll take to get this out of my hair?"
"Well, you burned my mouth!" Dr.Z shot back. "Now get out of here, and don't come back without that Dinosaur Card!" He yelled before throwing everything he could reach at them until they ran out of the room.
"For someone with a bad back, he's got a mean fastball!" Ed said as they ran to the hangar.
When they arrived, they saw Rod and Laura leaving with Helga driving their craft. "Well, at least Rod and Laura already got the message. So that's good news." Ed said.
"But why is Helga with them?" Zander asked. "I doubt they invited her of all people to come with them."
"Who cares why. With them taking care of the dinosaur, they'll be able to bring it back like that did last time." Ursula reminded them. "So, you know what that means for us?" She asked.
They all knew exactly what she was thinking. "Free day!" They cheered as they jumped into the air with joy.
DK
Back in Cambodia, the villagers were hard at work digging a hole to capture the dinosaur in. "They're gonna try catching the dinosaur in this hole?" Max asked.
"Yeah." Chomp answered. "They say they'll chase it in with drums and gongs."
"I'm not so sure that's the best strategy." Ace said as he examined the hole. It was deep, but not deep enough in his eyes. "They'll have to dig a lot deeper if they want to prevent it from either climbing or leaping out. And that's even if it doesn't attack them when they try to scare it."
The digging soon stopped when the roar of the dinosaur was heard. "Over there." Max said as they ran to where it was.
"Grab your things, and let's put this plan into action." The leader told the others as the D-Team ran into the jungle.
The D-Team heard another roar that sounded a lot nearer than the last. "It's close." Terry said before sniffing the air. "That's funny. It smells familiar. Are we sure it's a new one?"
"If it was an Alpha Gang dinosaur they wouldn't keep it out this long." Rex answered.
"What does it smell like?" Zoe asked before they got their answer when they arrived near a small pound.
Drinking from the pound was the Stegosaurus. "Wow. Look at the size of that Stegosaurus." Terry said, clearly impressed by the build of his possible opponent. "That explains why she smelt familiar."
"Be careful, kids." The leader warned them as they caught up with them. "That's a legendary monster."
"Are you sure that plan is really the best course of action?" Tank asked them. "We've seen one of these beasts before, and they're not to be taken too lightly."
"The little creature is right. Shouldn't we wait to see if Lola returns to take care of it for us?" Another villager asked.
"There's no time to wait for that." The leader told him. "Now, make some noise, everyone, and begin herding the monster toward the hole."
Soon the sounds of drums and gongs being filled the jungle as the villagers slowly approached the Stegosaurus. "Argh! Begone!"
"Begone, foul beast!"
"Go!"
Stegosaurus looked all around herself and saw noise coming from everywhere. Having enough of it, she turned towards the only open space the noise didn't seem to be coming from and ran.
Up above the jungle, Helga flew the Alpha Craft over the Stegosaurus, allowing Rod to get a look at her. "Oh, look, Laura." He pointed to the charging dinosaur on the ground.
"Hmm?" Laura looked where he was pointing and saw the dinosaur herself. "Oh, it's a Stegosaurus.
"So now what?" Rod asked.
"Let's just tell her we can't do our research until we get rid of the dinosaur." Laura told him.
But their whispering caught Helga's attention. "What is this whispering?"
"Ha, ha, ha!/Heh, heh, heh!" The two kids chuckled nervously and sweat buckets before Rod answered. "Well, we came here because our history assignment was to study the Angkor Wat Temple, but there's a problem."
"What problem?"
"It looks like there's a big dinosaur running around down there." Laura answered. Helga looked down and saw that there was, in fact, a dinosaur down there.
"Which would be a little disruptive to our studying, right, Laura?" Rod asked.
"You're right. Maybe we should just go and take care of that dinosaur instead." Laura suggested.
"Nice try, but you two will not get out of your homework that easily." Helga told them. "I'll take care of the dinosaur."
"What?!" The two kids exclaimed before Helga opened up the screen covering them and jumped out of the craft.
"Ya da doo!" She yelled as she fell to the ground.
"She was serious." Laura said as they watched her fall before they quickly took control of the craft.
As she fell, she turned around and used her apron as a parachute before she crash-landed right in front of the Stegosaurus, scarring the dinosaur away as it approached the temple. "What's that thing?" Max asked as they approached the dust.
Once the dust cleared, they were all able to see Helga more clearly, rubbing her head, standing in front of the picture of Lola. While the D-Team were able to slightly recognize her, the kids at least, the villagers took her as someone completely different. "Ah, look. The goddess Lola has returned to vanquish the monster, just as the legend described." The leader gasped.
"And sure enough, the monster fled as soon as she appeared." Another villager noted.
"Hate to break it to you." Zoe told them. "That's no goddess."
"That's the cook from the Alpha Gang headquarters." Rex explained. "They're anything but gods."
"And it's Olga, not Lola." Max corrected them.
"Wrong. The name is Helga." She corrected him.
The villagers ignored the D-Team and started swarming the cook. "The prophecy is true." One man said.
"Wow, they think that old lady's a goddess." Max almost laughed at the scene in front of him.
DK
"Who said old lady!?" Ursula yelled as she jumped up from her seat. "I want their freaking head!"
"Ursula, you're frightening the customers." Zander said as he and Ed were serving the people of Monaco corn like the last time they were there. "If you can't keep your temper under control, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave."
Ursula growled in frustration before sitting back down. She didn't want to waste her free day by being in jail.
DK
After parking the craft, Rod and Laura jumped out and ran to where Helga landed. "Can you believe Helga would just jump out of the plane like that?" Rod asked his sister. "Do you think she could've survived the fall?"
"Yes. I'm sure she's fine, given the way she's built." Laura assured him. "In fact, I'd be more worried about if she landed on anyone."
"You're right." Rod laughed. "I bet wherever she hit, she left a crater in the ground the size of a bus."
"Ha, ha, ha!"
DK
Back with Helga, she looked around and took in her surroundings. "Hmm? Hmm."
All around her, the villagers were gasping in delight. "Oh, she is here."
"It's really her."
"She's not so pretty."
While the villagers admired her, the D-Team watched in suspicion. "What do you suppose the Alpha Gang is up to this time?" Rex asked.
"Obviously, they want the Stegosaurus, but why would they send their housekeeper to get it?" Zoe asked.
"Obviously, this is their plan to bribe the Stegosaurus onto their side!" Spiny exclaimed.
"That wouldn't seem like something they'd do." Max said. "Only a complete moron would think of something like that." He quickly corrected himself. "An even bigger moron than those guys."
"And now, let us join together and thank the goddess who has come to rescue us once again and go forth to drive the monster away." The leader declared.
"Ah, to the goddess!" The other villagers cheered.
"Ohh!" Helga, completely ignoring the villagers, yelled before charging into the jungle after the Stegosaurus, the villagers following her like sheep.
"I cannot believe how stupid these guys are." Spiny said. "And when I'm saying that, it means something."
"No kidding." Tank agreed. "A dinosaur's a mythological monster? The villagers from Peru know what dinosaurs are, so what's their excuse?"
"And the goddess in human form's just a cook named Thelma." Max added.
"The name's Helga! Get it right!" Helga yelled from wherever she was, surprising the team.
"We better follow them." Terry said. "Even if she doesn't look like it, she is still Alpha Gang." The others agreed and they all ran after the villagers.
As they ran through the jungle, they eventually noticed Rod and Laura running in the same direction. "Hey, what do you two creeps think you're doing here?" Chomp growled at them.
"We're here to get the Dinosaur Card, of course, just like we did the last time." Rod smirked.
"Oh, yeah? If you think you're gonna beat us twice in a row after the stunt you pulled, then you can forget it." Max told them.
"And I'll make you pay for shooting me!" Tank added angrily. While her foot was all healed now, only needing to wear a cast for a few days, that didn't mean the anger she felt was going away anytime soon.
As they picked up their pace, the crumbled-up math test Max had in his pocket fell out. "Hey, kid, you dropped something." Rod called out as he picked it up. "Looks like a math test."
"Yeah, but with that score, I'd say somebody doesn't know their algebra very well." Laura added mockingly.
"Good thing I'm not the brains of the team, then!" Max shot back as they continued running. "You can't trick me to do something stupid twice!"
"Seems somebody's pretty angry." Rod said to Laura as they took a different path.
"That's for sure. We were just trying to help him." Laura said, feigning confusion.
DK
Back with the villagers, they were continuing their original plan by chasing the Stegosaurus towards the hole with drums and gongs. However, the Stegosaurus saw the hole and planned to leap over it. "Lola, go now." The leader said as the herbivore approached the hole. Stegosaurus looked where she was running and saw Helga standing in front of the hole, holding a soup ladle.
The Stegosaurus continued on running, not thinking the maid would be a threat to her at all. Helga responded by charging forward as well before leaping into the air and hitting the Stegosaurus on the head with her ladle. The confusion impact caused the Stegosaurus to forget where she was running and fell right into the pit. Helga landed and looked at her work. "Hm-hmm!"
Rod and Laura finally managed to catch up with her and were surprised by what they were seeing. "Huh?"
The Stegosaurus was trapped in a pit while a group of villagers were bowing in front of Helga. "Thank you, oh great goddess." The leader said to Helga.
"Did I just hear them call her a goddess?" Rod and Laura asked simultaneously.
Once they were done praising her, they all grabbed ropes and started tossing them around the Stegosaur's plates to keep her from escaping. "Tie those ropes tighter." One of the men said as the Stegosaurus struggled against them.
While this happened, Helga and the leader watched the process. "I must say, you don't look like I thought you would, but you certainly did the job for us, dear Lola." The leader said to Helga.
"Please, just call me Helga." She responded before turning her attention to Rod and Laura. "As for you children, you will begin your studies now." She ordered them.
"Yes, Helga. Ha, ha, ha!" They laughed nervously. They needed a way to defeat that Stegosaurus before the D-Team showed up.
They got their window of opportunity when the Stegosaurus managed to throw all of the men off of her. "Aah! Run!" Due to the pits small size, the Stegosaurus was able to start climbing out of it with ease.
"Oooooh!" Helga gave a Tarzan yell before hitting the Stegosaurus on the head with her ladle again. But this time the attack did nothing. The Stegosaurus responded by swinging her tail at the maid and sent her flying into the air.
"That was a home run." Rod said as they watched Helga disappear.
The villagers, on the other hand, were horrified by what happened. "How could the goddess get beaten by the monster?" The leader stuttered. The Stegosaurus gave out an angry roar before turning her frustration towards the villagers. The villagers all ran for their lives as now it seemed all hope was lost. Rod and Laura tensed up as they prepared for battle.
Meanwhile, the D-Team were still looking for the Stegosaurus when they heard Helga's yell again. "Rex, where's the cook lady." Max asked from the back.
"She's dropping by!" The blonde responded before Helga crashed right in front of Max.
"You okay?" Paris asked while coughing as the dust from the impact started to clear.
"Did she hit you?" Zoe asked.
"No, but that was a close one." Max said before noticing he was holding something in his hands. "Hmm? What's this thing?" Holding it up, he realized it was Helga's decapitated head. "Oh my god! It's her head!"
Suddenly, the head started to be reeled back to her body by a long extension cord before it reattached herself. She spun it around to tighten it back into position. The D-Team were surprised at what they just discovered. "Wow, all this time she's been a robot." Zoe said in surprise.
"That would explain her personality." Rex deadpanned.
"Oh, excuse me." Helga said in embarrassment as she made sure her head was perfectly attached.
"Uhh, am I losing my mind, or did you just lose your head?" Max asked, still in shock from the whole ordeal as one could tell by the messed up look on his face.
"I'm sorry you had to see that." Helga apologized.
"GO, ARMATUS! GET STEGOSAURUS!"
Armatus appeared and landed right in front of the Stegosaurus. "So, you want me to battle this Stegosaurus?" He asked Rod.
"I have a plan, and you're the best dinosaur for the job." Rod answered as he began sending instructions to Armatus through the Alpha Scanner. "Just keep knocking the Stegosaurus to where we tell you to and we'll have the card."
"Mate, this'll be easy. I'm basically fighting myself." Armatus said smugly before tackling the Stegosaurus.
From their location, the rest of the D-Team were able to notice the change in the sky's color. This time, however, it was only the sky that changed, the ground and trees remained the same. "Let's go, guys. There's a Battlefield!" Terry exclaimed.
"Rod and Laura may need my assistance in that case." Helga said as she finished drilling in her ear with a screw that was in her finger before running off again. "Here I come!"
"Hold up!" Terry said as they ran after her. They believed that if she went up against the Stegosaurus again she'd get clobbered.
Back with the fight, Armatus and the Stegosaurus continued on tackling each other through the jungle, flattening many trees in the process. Every time one was knocked down, they would get up, leap at their opponent, who would respond by dodging, and tackle them when they tried again. This process continued until they made it near a cliff. "Perfect. We got her right where we need her." Rod said as they caught up with the fight. "Now she's trapped."
"Watch out, Rod. That tail is still very dangerous". Laura warned him.
"Don't worry. I'll use Spectral Stinger and finish this right now." Rod said as he got out the Move Card.
But before he could use it, the Stegosaurus started glowing purple before her tail started having purple static form around it. The others gasped in shock as the tail glowed an even brighter shade of purple before spikes from the tail were being fired right at Armatus. "Holy!" Armatus exclaimed as he started running from the attack.
"What's she doing?" Laura asked, shocked by the sudden change in the battle.
"That's Spike Arrows." Rod answered. "I'm pretty sure that's where Grandpa got the idea for Spectral Stinger."
The spikes continued being fired at Armatus until they managed to get a direct hit and defeated him. "Armatus!" Rod cried as he went to pick up the card.
"Well, this wouldn't have happened if you watched out for that tail, like I told you to." Laura grumbled before joining up with her brother.
Rod picked up the card before noticing the Stegosaurus slowly approaching them, clearly not happy at their little scheme. "Oh, no! W-wait a minute, Stegosaurus. We weren't trying to hurt you." Rod's words fell on deaf ears as the Stegosaurus continued on approaching them. "Uh."
After what they just saw, they knew. Maximus wasn't strong enough to take her on. And the weakness of the cliff made it so they couldn't call out Brontikens or Gigas without possibly causing the cliff to collapse. And they didn't want that to happen as it might kill the Stegosaurus. Their only chance was to lure the Stegosaurus away from the cliff so they'd be able to use their powerhouses against her without much risk.
But their plans were interrupted again when they heard a familiar yell. "Ooooooaaah!"
"Huh?" Turning to where the sound came from, they saw Helga running towards the dinosaur before getting in between her and them.
"Go. Get away. I will take care of this." Helga said as she raised her ladle once again.
"With a soup ladle?" The two kids asked.
The villagers, who were watching the previous battle in the bushes, all came out of hiding when they saw their hero return. "Here it comes. She's back."
"She survived the monster's attack and has returned." The leader said cheerfully.
"She must be indestructible." Another one said.
"Yay!" They all cheered.
As they cheered, the D-Team were able to catch up with her. "Are you really taking on that dinosaur?" Ace asked the android.
"Yeah. What does it look like?" Helga responded, keeping her eyes on the dinosaur, not showing any intimidation.
"She's a lot tougher than you guys." Rod told them.
"Because she's made out of metal." Max added.
"Watch out!" Zoe yelled as the Stegosaurus swung her tail at Helga again.
"Waaah!" Helga responded by doing a backflip high into the air before landing back on the ground, having dodged the attack completely.
"Whoa." Tank said, surprised by her skills.
"You cannot fool me twice." Helga told the Stegosaurus.
The villagers started cheering even louder. "She's even more spectacular than the legend tells." The leader said in awe of Helga's skills.
"She won't be able to take her down, even if she can dodge all of her attacks." Terry told Max.
"You're right. Ready, Terry?"
"DINO SLASH! YOU'RE UP, TYRANNOSAURUS!"
"Hmm?" Helga looked towards the glow and saw Terry emerge full-sized. This gave her an idea. "Ohh!" Giving another yell, she leapt into the air again and landed on Terry's head.
"What are you doing? Get off!" Terry told Helga as he shook his head to get her off, but she managed to stay on without needing to use her hands.
"Giddy up, big fella, und attack!" Helga commanded the T-Rex.
The villagers gasped in amazement again. "Now she has summoned her own monster for the battle." A man said.
"And she controls it like only a goddess could." The leader added.
"I've never seen such a thing as this." The man said.
"They think she controls me?" Terry thought angrily. "I'll show them something they've never seen before." He declared before roaring and charging towards his opponent. The vibrations from his steps caused the cliff to start slowly giving in.
"How do you like me now!?" Helga yelled at the Stegosaurus before Terry leapt into the air and landed right on top of her. He quickly got off and grabbed onto one of the Stegosaur's legs once she got up. "Try that on for size."
The Stegosaurus gave out a roar of pain before she swung her tail at Terry, forcing him to let go and jump back. The Stegosaurus then glowed purple before she started firing her Spike Arrows again. "Whoa!" Terry yelped as he backed away from the attack.
"Those are the same Spike Arrows she used to knock out Armatus." Rod told the others.
Tank watched the attack in fascination. "Terry, get that Move Card! I must have it!"
The Stegosaurus fired another batch of arrows that were aimed directly at Terry's face. Helga's eye gleamed before she went for the attack. "Hah!" She leapt of Terry and began deflecting all of the Stegosaur's Spike Arrows. "Hoo, hah, hoo, hah, hoo, hah, hoo, hoo, hah, hoo!" She yelled before giving another Tarzan yell.
Everyone just stared in amazement at Helga's skills, even Rod and Laura. "How'd she do that?" Rex asked.
"She saved Terry from that attack." Max said, nearly speechless.
"Hah!" Helga said as she landed in front of Terry.
"You are officially my favorite of the Alpha Gang." Terry told her before one of the arrows hit Helga on the shoulder. "Oh my god! You okay, Wilma?!"
Helga turned her head around and glared at him. "The name is Helga." She said before grabbing the spike and pulled it out and tossed it aside like it was nothing. "Hah!" She approached the Stegosaurus, who now backed up in fear from the android maid. The Stegosaurus only stopped when she realized she was at the edge of the cliff.
"Let's do it, Terry!" Max said before getting out a Move Card. "Neck Crusher!"
Helga moved out of the way as Terry glowed red before running towards the Stegosaurus, who prepared to hit him with her tail. But as she turned to make the swing, Terry lifted her off the ground with his head and tossed her into the air. When she started falling back down, Terry leapt into the air as well and hit her neck with his tail before they both landed. Once they landed, the Stegosaurus returned to her card. But the force from both of their landings caused the cliff to give in and for Terry to start to fall. "Terry!" Everyone screamed as he fell to the ground.
Helga saw this and immediately went to work. She started moving all the nearby large rocks together until they made a large square shape, and then she covered the square with leaves in milliseconds before Terry landed on the square, his fall softened. Terry slowly got up and looked at Helga. "Thanks." He said before going to meet his teammates.
While that happened, the villagers all ran down to congratulate Helga. "That was amazing!"
"Oh, ha, ha! Hooray!"
"Hurrah!"
The villagers all surrounded Helga and started lifting her up into the air and tossing her up and down in celebration. "I can't believe this." Rod said, still in shock at everything.
"Way to go, Helga." Laura smiled. "You're really awesome."
The villagers moved out of the way and allowed Helga to speak to Rod and Laura. "You two can study all you want now, and I promise you that dinosaur won't be giving you any more trouble." She told them.
"Huh?" Rod and Laura then remembered the whole reason Helga was with them to begin with. "I think we got enough studying in today." Rod lied.
"Yeah. We've seen what we need to, so let's just go home." Laura smiled.
"But you didn't do anything other than make poor Armatus battle the dinosaur." Helga said, gaining an angry look on her face. "You didn't even go to Angkor Wat."
"Uhh." Rod and Laura tensed up as they tried to find a way to get out of the inevitable punishment. "We did while you were busy."
"Ha! Like I've never seen that excuse used before. You two will stay here until I see that report." She told them, crossing her arms to let them know she wasn't joking.
"But, Helga!" Laura cried.
"Um, Helga? What exactly happened to the dinosaur?" Rod asked her.
"Oh, the nice red dinosaur caught the cards in his mouth when he fell." Helga answered casually.
"What?!" Rod and Laura exclaimed.
"So that's why I feel something stuck in my teeth." Terry said as he opened his mouth for Max to search. "A little to the left." He said.
"Okay. Lots of pointy teeth." Max said as he felt around before grabbing something that didn't feel like a tooth. "Hang on." He pulled his hand out and had the cards in them. "Yes! In your face!" He told Rod and Laura, leaping into the air in pride. "That's what you get for messing with the D-Team!"
Before Rod and Laura could lift their dropped jaws and retort, Helga started dragging them away by the shirts, like she did to the D-Team when they were at Zeta Point. "Come along, now. You've got some studying to do."
"Thanks, Helga!" Terry called out to her.
"No problem."Helga responded. "Someone had to make sure that these two trouble makers didn't get rewarded for skipping their studies."
"You mean you knew?" Laura asked.
"Ha! Looks like you're not so brilliant after all!" Max mocked them.
"You're not exactly one to talk with that math test." Rod reminded him.
"Oh, yeah? That was just a setup. I know math better than anyone." Max retorted.
"Really? What's twenty-five divided by five?" Rod asked.
"That's easy! It's seven!" Max answered.
"Wrong." Rod and Laura said before they disappeared into the jungle with the villagers following them, chanting Lola over and over.
"Wh-how was that wrong?" Max asked, confused by their answer.
"You really need to start paying attention in class." Zoe told him.
"Aww!" Max groaned in frustration. And it was all going so well, too.

Back in Monaco, Ursula was currently closing up shop while Zander and Ed went to go buy things with their money. "Of course." She groaned. "I attract all their dumb customers with my beauty, and I don't even get a penny." She then heard the Alpha Scanner beeping. Picking it up, she saw a pissed-off Dr.Z at the other side. "Yes?"
"Have you boneheads found that dinosaur?" He screamed from the other side.
"Yeah." Ursula lied through her teeth. "But it, uh, died."
"What?!" Dr.Z screamed so loudly the Scanner leapt out of her hands.
"Yeah. It fell off a cliff after this really epic battle. You should've seen it. It was awesome."
"You mean to tell me you let that dinosaur die?!"
"Would you rather the brats have it?"
"I'd rather have it in my hands!"
As they continued their argument, Zander and Ed returned with their waists full of stuff they bought. "Oh, yeah. Forgot to ask Rod and Laura how the mission went." Zander remembered.
"I'm sure they did fine." Ed assured him. "I bet they're heading back to Dr.Z with the Dinosaur Card right now."

Once they returned, Rod and Laura went to Seth and told him about their failure. "And that's what happened." Rod finished, his head down with shame alongside his sister. "Sorry, Seth."
"It's fine, Rod." Seth assured him as he put a hand on the boy's shoulder. "I wasn't expecting you to do this job flawlessly. Only a fool would expect to win every battle in a war."
"Still, it was pretty funny with what happened to Helga today." Laura said, trying to lighten the mood.
"She went with you?" Seth asked, noticing they left that part out of the story.
"Yeah. All the villagers thought she was a goddess! Ha, ha, ha!" Laura laughed as she and Rod went to their room for the night.
Once they were gone, Seth gave a cold glare. "Helga. Why's she involved? I'll have to see to it that she doesn't interfere with my plans anymore." He declared.
"Uh, Seth?" D.R.O.I.D said quietly as he rolled over to him. "I saw the tail move. He's waking up."
"Perfect." Seth said as he went to greet his patient.

Back at the D-Lab, Max was snoring away while he was covered in math books. But his snoring ceased when he was awoken by something smacking his desk. "Wha? Twenty-four!" He exclaimed as he quickly got up. Looking at who made the noise, he saw Lola the Stegosaurus glaring at him.
"No sleeping until you getting a higher score than me!" She said as she pointed to the results of a test Spike made her and Max take with her tail. Even with multiple choice answers, Max's score was way below Lola's, and she didn't do well either. "Now get back to reading!"
While this was going, Spike watched alongside Toro. "Nice to see somebody with some discipline." Spike said to the Torosaurus.
"Yup, she's definitely a powerful one. I like her. Reminds me of an officer from the army days" Was Toro's reply. Spike heard this looked knowingly at the ceratopsian, remembering thinking similar thoughts when he meet Aki.
Next time on Dinosaur King:
Max: That Mapusaurus is mine! She's gonna pay for destroying my lunch!
Rex: You're gonna find her in this city with just two dinosaurs?
Max: Good thing I don't just have two dinosaurs then
A/N:...What? Oh, you thought I'd let Rod and Laura win this? Yeah, considering Lola does nothing else in canon, I see no reason for the Alpha Gang to have her. And before you start thinking the same for Ampelosaurus, let's just say he's pretty important.
My god was this episode painful! The idiocy was too much to handle! Mainly the villagers! I mean no respect to the people of Cambodia, but I swear I almost wanted to let Lola, the Stegosaurus, just kill them all. Helga also got a bit dumbed in this episode, mainly near the end. Whatever happened to her BS detector? Well, she has it here.
Why did I change the final battle to a cliffside? I don't know, but it sure was cool.
I removed a lot of the math test bit since I wanted to show that Max has learned from last time and is taking things seriously. Not as stupid as some other anime heroes, is he?
And before you ask, ToroXLola is canon. Just not immediately since reasons.
Another thing. Dinosaur King is still on Netflix. The only change is that they added No Free Lunch, But not in English!
I'm just glad this chapter is over and I don't ever have to return to this episode!
