"Aaah! This place is a disaster!" Ursula yelled at the top of her lungs. Sure enough, the room they were in was completely trashed. Boxes, spare parts, food bags, and other junk were lying all over the place. The Alpha Gang looked over the room with depressed looks on their faces. All three were wearing maid aprons like Helga did. This was because they were taking Helga's place during her absence as punishment for going behind Dr.Z's bad back while Rod and Laura would capture any new dinosaurs since they actually succeeded in capturing the Saurophaganax, now known as Torch. "I swear, when Helga gets back, I will never take her for granted again."
"We'll just have to clean up ourselves." Ed said as he walked over to a pile of stuff and started picking things up.
"Yeah, for now." Zander said as he grabbed a vacuum and used it on another pile.
After what felt like forever, the room was finally spotless. "Finally. All clean again." Ed said before the trio collapsed as they were finally able to rest after hours of countless cleaning and scrubbing.
"We should be out doing evil villainy-type things. Not sweeping, and vacuuming, and playing nursemaid to Dr.Z." Ursula complained. "I can't do this anymore." She said before whimpering. "Seth and those two brats went behind his back too, so why do they get rewarded?"
Things only got worse when they felt the ground shaking. The door suddenly burst as Gigas ran into the room, followed by Maximus and Armatus. "Get back here, pea-brain!" Maximus yelled at him, sounding very embarrassed.
"Can't you take a joke?!" Gigas responded as he kept on avoiding her horns. "I said I was sorry."
"Guys, y'all need to chill out!" Armatus called out to them as they kept on running around the room.
The Alpha Gang coughed as dust filled the room from all of their stampeding. "'Cough! Cough!' Get out of here!" Ursula yelled at them.
When the dust cleared, the Alpha Gang were speechless to see the room they had just cleaned trashed again. "I guess it's back to cleaning." Ed sighed.
"When I get my hands on you three, dinosaurs will be extinct!" Ursula yelled at the dinosaurs, which already left to a different room.
In their room, Rod and Laura were doing their homework. Like the room the Alpha Gang was in, this room was filled with junk. "This room is getting really messy." Rod said as he kicked the stuff under their desk with his feet.
"Yeah." Laura agreed. "I was thinking, maybe we should move to a new room if no one's gonna clean up in here."
"Sounds good to me." Rod replied.
Back with the Alpha Maids, they had just finished cleaning the room again and exited once they made sure it wouldn't get destroyed again. The trio sighed as they went to their rooms to lie down. "That took forever, but at least it's clean now." Ursula sighed.
"Hey! Let's move into this room!" Rod said as he and Laura carried their computers into the room.
"Yeah, ours is too messy." Laura said as they entered and the door closed.
The trio moaned when they saw them enter the room they had just cleaned. "Do our room next." Rod told them as he looked his head out briefly. "And don't forget the bathroom." This made the trio all grumble in anger.
But before they could take their anger out on the kids, Dr.Z called out for them. "Hey! What's going on here? I'm still waiting for my lunch!" He yelled so loud that the trio could hear it perfectly. "And I've got a few things to say about that so-called breakfast..."
The trio all began sweating buckets when they knew someone had to go in to see their injured boss. "It's your turn to go back in there, Ursula." Zander quickly said.
"My turn? I've had enough abuse for one day." Ursula said.
"I'm not going in!" The tall man replied. "Last time he threw his meatloaf at me."
"All right, Ed, your turn." Ursula said to the short man.
"Get in here!" Dr.Z yelled at the top of his lungs, making all three wince even more.

In a field in Barcelona, a herd of pigs were grazing on the grass. One of them felt something bump again its snot and started digging. It happened to uncover an opened capsule.
The cards were carried away by the wind and a dinosaur appeared. The dinosaur was a carnivore that looked a lot like Torch the Saurophaganax. Its back was a dark blue, with spines as well, while its lower body was grayer. It also had two purple horns on its head, again similar to Torch. This dinosaur was an Allosaurus.
The Allosaurus sniffed the air before she caught the sense of the pigs. The pigs looked up to see the theropod drooling at them. Knowing what that means, they all quickly ran as fast as they could to get away from her, with the hungry Allosaurus giving chase.
(Intro Theme)
Back at Zeta Point, Dr.Z's stomach continued to growl loudly. "Ohh! I can't believe everyone is just leaving me to starve." Dr.Z moaned in pain. "If it weren't for this bad back, I'd give those three nincompoops something painful." He said before getting an angry look on his face and pulled out a whistle. "Grrr! That goes it! I will not be ignored!" He yelled before blowing the whistle.
A few minutes later, Gigas and the other dinosaurs entered the room. "Ya called?" Armatus asked.
"Fuck 'em up!" Dr.Z ordered the trio of dinosaurs.
The three dinosaurs knew what he meant and immediately charged out of the room.
In the room they had just cleaned, each of the Alpha Gang had grabbed cups of a small soup from the kitchen. "It's not much." Ursula said as she pulled off the lid, releasing the steam inside that made the meal more appealing. "But this soup sure looks good right now."
"This was the only thing left in the kitchen that's actually edible." Ed said sadly as he and Zander mimicked Ursula's actions.
"Don't worry." Ursula assured him. "I'm so hungry after scrubbing all day, this is going to be like a five-star meal."
"I'm with you. Let's eat." Zander said before they called grabbed their chopsticks. "Bon appetit!" They all said together.
But before they could even touch the soup, the dinosaurs ran right across the table and out of the room. When the dust cleared, the trio all had the soup on their heads, completely ruined. "This just isn't our day." Ed sighed.
"Well, if nothing else, at least the dishes are done." Zander reminded them. But right after he said that, the shelf holding the dishes started to fall right on top of them. "Aaaaaah!" The trio screamed before they were crushed.
From his room, Dr.Z could hear the sound of all the smashing. "That's what you get for not taking care of me." He huffed.
DK
"Aah! This place is a disaster!" Max yelled as he and his team looked over their home. The place was about as trashed as it was when Mia was found. There were trash bags and food scraps everywhere.
"Wow, you don't realize how much work someone does until they're not there." Chomp said as he looked over the room for something to eat. Things were getting so bad that even he and Terry were running out of food to eat, and they were not picky eaters.
"Yeah, guess that's why mom needed a vacation." Max agreed. "And why Rex is always at Zoe's when she's gone." He said before having a flashback of his mother leaving.
Aki has a bright smile on her face as she addressed her family. "Well, I'm off to Spain for my reunion. You boys take care of yourselves and don't forget to eat!" she said before she grabbed her suitcase and left for the airport, leaving Spike, Max, and his team flabbergasted at what just happened.
"Welp, that's our cue to leave." Rex said as he grabbed his own suitcase and left with his team.
"Man, I'm starving." Chomp said as he searched through the garbage. "Which bag did you put the pizza crusts in?" He asked before he started tearing into one of the bags.
"Cut it out. You're just making the mess worse." Terry said as he avoided the trash Chomp kicked out of his way.
"Oh, look who's talking. You're the one who put the banana peels in the refrigerator." Chomp reminded his brother.
"Better than on the floor." Terry defended himself.
"No, it's not!" Chomp shot back.
"You boys are hopeless." The trio looked to see Tank lying on the spine of one of the couches.
"Tank! Please tell us you're here to help!" Max exclaimed as he fell to his knees in front of her, starting to feel hopeful.
Tank quickly shook her head. "Rex sent me. He wanted me to get a damage check before Mrs. Taylor returns tonight." She said before hopping off the couch and running out the back door.
As she left, Spike walked through the back door. "Boys, come here for a sec." He waved to them. "I want to show you something."
The trio went outside and saw Spike working on something near a campfire he made. "What are you doing, Dad?" Max asked.
"As you know, I'm kind of hopeless in the kitchen. But I do know how to cook as long as I have an open fire." Spike explained to them.
"So, you're baking a rock?" Chomp asked as he looked at a rock sitting on top of the lid.
"No, that's just holding down the lid." Spike said before he removed the rock and took off the lid. "Let's see if it's ready." He said before revealing to be cooking rice.
Max and his dino's eyes widened in delight. "Wow! You've made steamed rice!" Max exclaimed.
"You didn't think your old dad would let you all go hungry, now, did you?" Spike rhetorically asked. "Add some sauce on the top and we'll be eating like kings."
"Yeah!" The trio said in delight and excitement.
"Your mother would be so proud if she could see us now." Spike said before thing and looking up at the sky. "I hope wherever she is, she's eating well, too."
DK
In Barcelona, Aki and her friends were eating as they watched a performer dance to flamenco music. The performer finished her dance and the audience applauded. "Wow, Spain has the best food I've ever tasted." Aki said as she took another bite of her meal.
"I've been looking so forward to taking this trip with you girls." One of Aki's friends said.
"And the food's just as wonderful as we hoped." The other friend said.
"Spike and the boys would love this ham." Aki said as she looked down at her food. "I can't help wishing they were all here now enjoying this, too."
"Come on, Aki." Her first friend told her. "Forget about home for a change and enjoy this; just us girls."
Aki giggled in response. "I guess you're right."
After they finished their food, the girls got into a taxi while the first friend looked at a brochure to decide their next location. "Next stop is the famous Sagrada Familia, and then we'll go out for dinner before we catch our flight."
"We're making such pigs of ourselves." The other friend laughed as the taxi drove away.
Right when it left, a pig ran into the building to get away from the Allosaurus that was chasing it. The Allosaurus continued on following the pig until she smashed through the building. When the dust cleared, the Allosaurus could not find the pig in the rubble. She looked around for her soon-to-be meal before noticing some ham on the ground. Noticing it smelt a lot like the pig, she thought it was the pig and grabbed one before swallowing it in one gulp. The Allosaur's eyes widened in amazement. This was the best thing she has ever tasted. And she needed more.

At Zeta Point, the trio were back to lying on the floor in agony when they heard the Alpha Scanner beeping. "Huh?" Ursula weakly grabbed the scanner and saw Barcelona blinking. "I'm really not in the mood for dinosaurs."
"Yeah." Ed agreed before realizing something. "But if we're chasing dinosaurs, Dr.Z can't yell at us."
Ursula perked when she heard that. "Oh, you're not as dumb as you look." She told Ed before getting up. "Now is not the time to be cooking and scrubbing and cleaning up after untrained dinosaurs. There's a dinosaur out there, and we should be capturing it."
"Off with our aprons!" Zander and Ed said before they all threw off their aprons.
In their now clean room, Rod and Laura got the report from Seth. "Another dinosaur, Seth?" Rod asked.
"Your target is in Barcelona, Spain." He confirmed as he held two Alpha Scanners.
"Let's get going!" Rod said as he was about to get up.
"But we haven't finished our homework yet." Laura reminded him.
"Yeah, you're right." Rod remembered. "And if Helga catches us again-" Rod stopped himself when he remembered that Helga wasn't there anymore. "Hey.. why isn't she back yet?"
"Yeah, Seth. You said she had some sort of business to do in Chinatown." Laura recalled what Seth told them. "When is she gonna be done?"
"How should I know?" Seth responded. "Could be a lifetime."
Before they could question what he meant, the door to the room opened and Ursula, Zander, and Ed ran in. "We're going on this mission!" Ursula declared.
"Hand over those Alpha Scanners!" Zander and Ed told them.
"No chance." Rod and Laura responded. "Brontikens and the others would rather go with us, anyway." Laura said as the dinosaurs conveniently walked past the room. "Right?"
"Definitely." Gigas quickly replied.
"It's nice to not always get beaten up." Maximus said.
"Still better than the three stooges." Armatus said before muttering. "But I would ask to not get hurt this time."
The trio were shocked to see their own dinosaurs turn against them so quickly. They all looked pleadingly at the chibi Brontikens to see if he was on their side. "I don't work with weaklings." He said before they all walked off.
"Gah!" The trio gasped as they lost their dinosaurs to those kids.
"Obviously they have a way with the dinosaurs that you three have never had." Seth told them, smirking at their misfortune. The trio responded by growling.
"Hey! I want my lunch, and I want it now!" Dr.Z yelled from his room, once again being heard by everyone.
"It seems you're needed here." Seth chuckled as the trio sighed.
A little while later, Rod and Laura boarded the rocket the Alpha Gang used to get to the airport Meg appeared at. The hatch opened up and the rocket flew into the air. "Lift-off!" Rod and Laura exclaimed as they began their trip to Barcelona. "Okay, I went ahead and set the autopilot for Barcelona." Rod told his sister.
"Nothing to do now but sit back and enjoy the ride." Laura said as they both laid down in their seats.
What they didn't know was that the Alpha Gang has snuck aboard the rocket and were hiding in the vents. "I'm not enjoying it." Ed said to his teammates.
"It's not first-class, but it beats cooking and vacuuming." Ursula reminded him.
"And Dr.Z." Zander added. "Hopefully he enjoyed the lunch we left him.
That lunch turned out to actually be a do-it-yourself kit. A very large one at that. Dr.Z growled in anger at the excuse of a lunch he was given. "I asked for lunch, not a do-it-yourself kit!" He yelled as he banged his arms on his bed. But by doing that, it caused the kit to fall right on top of him. "That hurt." He muttered.

At the D-Lab, everyone looked at the map to see where the signal was coming from. "A dinosaur just showed up in Barcelona?" Max asked. "That's where Mom is!"
"It has to be a sign!" Spike happily cheered. "Now I know Aki and I were meant for each other."
"Yeah, well we'd better get going." Zoe said.
"Right." The others agreed before they went to the teleporter.
"Wait!" Spike called out to them. "Kids, don't you think you ought to take me along this time? Your mom probably misses me a lot."
"I think you both can survive a few more hours apart." Terry assured him, really wanting to leave.
"All right, then. I'll write her a letter." Spike said before he quickly grabbed some paper and a pen. "Give me a second."
"But we don't even know where she is." Rex pointed out while Max groaned in annoyance.
"Come on. It's for true love!" Zoe urged them. "It's the least we can do." The others eventually agreed, though they were still unsure about this.
A minute or two later, Spike handed an envelope addressed to Aki to Max. "Now, Max, promise me you'll get this to her." He asked as his hand started shaking.
"I'll try." Max said, not wanting to make another promise again.
"Oh! And tell her to bring me back a pair of those bullfighter pants, okay?" Spike said before they teleported away. "I hope that she doesn't take what I said as an insult." He said to himself once they left.
"What did you say?" Romeo asked the paleontologist. "Given my time with Juliet, I should know if something's easy to be taken the wrong way with a woman."
"Let's see." Spike tried to recall what he said, but he was in such a hurry that he didn't even know what he put. "Aaah! I can't remember!" He screamed in terror, putting his hands on his head.
DK
One teleportation later, and the team found themselves in the center of a street. "Whoa. So this is Barcelona." Max said as he looked around.
"What a beautiful city." Paris commented.
"Even the air smells fresher here." Aki said to her friends as they walked behind the kids, neither group noticing the other.
First, the team decided to check out a large coliseum. "So that's where they have all the bullfights." Chomp said as he looked at the huge stadium.
"I would never go to one of those." Zoe said. "I think bullfighting is very cruel."
"Hey, it's an ancient tradition." Chomp reminded her, even though he had to admit killing the bulls was unnecessarily cruel.
"My point still stands." Zoe replied.
Ace was about to give his own thoughts when he noticed a red flag being carried by a man. As he looked at the flag, something inside him started to boil with rage. It was almost as if the flag was mocking him. "Rawr!" Ace hissed before he ran towards the flag and started attacking it and the man holding it.
"Ace, come back here!" Rex called out, surprised by his normally calm partner's sudden behavior change.
"Get this animal away from me!" The man with the flag said as he waved the flag to keep it away from Ace. All this did was make the Carnotaurus even more pissed.
"That red flag is driving him crazy, just like it does with the bulls." Max quickly realized.
"Then we'd better get him away from it." Tank said as Ace leapt at the flag.
After a little while, everything was able to be sorted out, though Ace did destroy the flag. "What was that for?" Terry asked as they continued their search.
"I don't know." Ace replied, sounding pretty embarrassed about everything. "Something about that flag really pisses me off."
"Well, Carnotaurus does mean 'Meat-Eating Bull'." Max said before smirking. "Guess you guys have something else in common besides the horns."
They continued on walking around until they came across the Sagrada Familia. "So this is the Sagrada Familia?" Terry asked.
"Yeah, it's really famous." Ace replied as he recalled what he read in a history book. "Antonio Gaudi started building it over a century ago, and it's still not finished."
"Wow! He must be really old." Spiny said.
"No, he's dead, you idiot." Tank said as she bopped him on the head.
After more searching, Zoe noticed a fountain that looked like a lizard's head. "I've got to get a picture of this." She said.
"Yeah, me too." Max said as they both pulled out their phones.
"Hey!" Rex called out to them, getting really impatient with everyone getting sidetracked. "In case you all have forgotten, we didn't come here to sightsee!" He reminded them.
"But the dinosaur hasn't shown itself yet, so what do you expect us to do?" Chomp asked.
"Oh, it's nearby." Spiny told him.
"How do you know that?" Terry asked.
"Wait for it." Spiny said as he pointed in a random direction. A few seconds later, there was the sound of an explosion and people screaming in that exact spot. "Bing!"
The D-Team quickly ran over to a balcony and were able to see the Allosaurus poke her head out of the cloud of debris. "It's an Allosaurus, and she's going nuts!" Rex identified.
The Allosaurus gave out a loud roar before she started charging forward. "Hey, isn't that where the old guy's building is?" Spiny asked.
"What?!" The rest of the D-Team exclaimed.
Zoe put on her goggles and zoomed in to see that the Allosaur's path was right towards the Sagrada Familia. "He's right! She's heading right for it!"
"Our national treasure." A woman sadly said.
"Cannot somebody stop it?" A photographer asked.
"Ohh, I can't bear to watch." Someone said as they covered their eyes.
Max looked around and saw that nobody else was able to take down the Allosaurus, so it had to be him. "We'll stop it!" He said as he recalled Terry.
"DINO SLASH! GO, TYRANNOSAURUS, BLAZE!"
"All right, Terry." Max said once he appeared. "You need to protect that building."
"Already on it." Terry replied as he leapt off the balcony to stop the Allosaurus.
The Allosaurus continued on heading for the building, expecting to see lots of meat inside such a large structure, when she felt something grab her tail and pull her down. Turning her head around, she saw her tail was grabbed by an unknown theropod. [Well, aren't you a strong one?] She said to Terry.
"You got that right." Terry smugly replied.
[I always did like males with strength.] She said as she got back up.
"Yea-wait, what?!" Terry asked, getting very flustered.
[I mean, I know a lot of males wanted me, but you're the first one to actually catch me.] The Allosaurus growled softly as she slowly started walking forward, dragging Terry with her. [You've got quite the teeth. I wonder how strong you are in other areas.] She winked at him and Terry immediately caught the innuendo.
Seeing he was too flustered to attack, the Allosaurus started to spin him around with her tail before she forced him to let go and he was sent flying towards the Sagrada Familia. "Nooo!" Everyone cried as Terry crashed into the building.
From the balcony of another restaurant, Aki and her friends were having their dinner. "So how about if we split up and meet back here in an hour?" One of Aki's friends suggested.
"Sounds good." Aki agreed.
"I saw some antique shops this morning that I would love to check out." The other friend said.
"Are you still going to go to the food market, Aki?" The first friend asked.
"Yes, I want to get some of that fantastic ham to take home to the boys." Aki said. What they didn't notice was the Sagrada Familia collapsing not too far away from where they were sitting.
In the wreckage of the building, the D-Team ran to where Terry was lying. "Terry, are you okay?" Max frantically asked
Oh my god, Terry! Do you realize how much this is going to cost to rebuild?!" Tank yelled as she looked at the debris from the building.
"Look what you've done!" A man yelled at them. "You've ruined the cultural landmark!" He said before they all started throwing stones at the D-Team.
"Wait! Stop it!" Max tried to reason with them, but fell on deaf ears.
The Allosaurus then stomped a foot on the ground before roaring and glowing. [Here I come!] She playfully said to Terry before she started picking up speed before completely disappearing. Terry frantically looked around and noticed a light blue circle briefly forming around him before he was pelted from all sides and angles by the Allosaurus. It stopped once Terry fell to the ground and the Allosaurus stopped in front of him.
"Terry, no!" Max cried out as he ran over to where the downed Tyrannosaurus was with his friends, still avoiding the rocks thrown at them.
[Nighty night!] The Allosaurus laughed as Terry returned to his card. Seeing her fun was over, the blue theropod sniffed the air and realized that the building had no ham. But she did catch the scent of more in a different direction and headed that way.
From the debris, Rod and Laura came out of hiding. "I'm surprised that Terry went down so fast." Laura said.
"Yeah. I was hoping he'd wear out Allosaurus a lot more than that." Rod sighed in disappointment.
"What'd we do now?" Laura asked.
"We're gonna have to come up with a plan B." Rod said.
From behind them, The Alpha Gang came out of hiding. "Wait, we don't even have a plan A yet." Zander pointed out.
"But our plan A's never work anyway, so it really doesn't matter." Ed pointed out.
"That's a good point. Let's just wait it out and see what these two brats come up with next." Ursula suggested.
After managing to grab his card and escape the mob, Max recalled Terry in chibi-form to see what happened. "Terry, what happened out there? You never go down that easily?" Max asked.
"...I was weak." Was all a disgraced Terry could say.
DK
Inside of a meat shop, a chef was working on a piece of ham when he noticed the Allosaurus looking through the window. The chef screamed and ran away as the Allosaurus broke into the shop and started eating the ham. In another meat shop, Aki looked over all the different-sized hams hanging from the rafters. "Oh, my. How am I ever going to pick one of these hams when they all look so good?"
Back with the Allosaurus, she was just finishing up the hams on the rafters when the D-Team managed to catch up with her. Once she ate all the ham in the building, she left to find some more. "Whoa. She eats fast." Chomp said, impressed by her eating speed. "I wonder where she's off to now."
"To the meat shop!" Rex quickly realized.
"I'd like a ham, please." Aki said to the woman behind the counter. "One that's very juicy and big enough to feed my whole family, but not so big that I end up with two weeks of leftovers." While she was explaining her order and looking at the hams, she was oblivious to the people around her running away in panic. "Let's see. How about- Oh, I don't know." She stopped when she felt someone breathing down her neck. "Huh?" Turning around, she found herself face to face with the Allosaurus. The shock from seeing the dinosaur in front of her made her freeze in fear.
It was then the D-Team arrived. "It's my mom!" Max noticed.
"It looks like she saw the dinosaur and froze in her tracks." Ace observed.
"Hey, Mom! Run away!" Max called out to her, not wanting her to get injured by the Allosaurus.
"Hmm?" Aki looked over, still shocked about the whole thing, and saw Max. "Well, hi, Max." She simply said, unable to comprehend everything that was going on at the moment. She looked back at the Allosaurus and revived a roar in the face before fainting.
Seeing that she was done with her order, the Allosaurus went and began eating the hams from the rafters. "Look over here, Ally." Rex called out to the Allosaurus, deciding to give her a name to make things easier, as he held out a large ham. "This one's much bigger! Unh!" He tossed the ham and Ally caught it in her mouth. Seeing they had more ham, Ally roared and went after them. "Get your mom while we distract her." Rex told Max.
"Good idea. Be careful." Max warned before he went to help his mother.
"Come and get it, Ally!" Spiny said as Rex and Zoe grabbed the rest of the hams they took and lead her away.
What none of them knew was that Rod and Laura were watching them again. "Looks like it's our turn now." Laura said.
"Then it's time for the Alpha Scooter." Rod said before snapping his fingers and summoning one of their scooters. "Here we go!" Rod said as they both hopped on and began to execute their fool-proof plan.
Rex and the others were still leading Ally away when Rex tossed her another ham. But before she could catch it, Rod and Laura flew by and snatched it. "Thanks!" Laura said as she grabbed the ham. Ally looked around for the meat before noticing it in the little girl's hands. "For the idea and the ham." She said as they lead her away.
"Get back here!" Zoe yelled as she was about to go after them.
"Wait, Zoe." Rex stopped her by placing a hand on her shoulder. "I think I have a better idea."
As Rex revealed his plan, Rod and Laura lead the Allosaurus back to the destroyed Sagrada Familia before stopping by a large hole. "We'll use the ham to lure the Allosaurus right into the hole." Rod explained to his sister.
"Good plan. Then we can send Brontikens and Armatus in there to attack her with all they got." Laura said before looking behind herself, seeing the approaching theropod. "Here she comes now."
From their hiding place, the Alpha Gang screamed in horror. "Aaaaah! They're actually going to take on that dinosaur!" Ursula exclaimed. Normally she would be fine with it, but after that Allosaurus defeated Terry so easily, she knew this one was above them.
"This looks bad!" Ed cried as he covered his eyes.
"I suppose we should save them, huh?" Zander asked as he pulled out his Scanner.
"ALPHA SLASH! YOU'RE UP, TYRANNOSAURUS!"
Once he appeared, Gigas immediately knocked Ally away from the hole. "Gigas, where did you come from?!" Rod asked, sounding both surprised and angry.
"Didn't you two summon me?" He asked in confusion.
"No! You totally ruined our plan!" Laura told him.
Before Gigas could retort, Ally stomped her foot in the ground and roared before charging forward. Gigas anticipated a tackle, but was surprised when she suddenly disappeared. "Where'd she go?" Gigas got his answer when he was repeatedly pelted by the Allosaurus before collapsing.
"What was that Move?" Laura asked, recognizing the attack from before in the battle with Terry.
"The Mayfly." Rod answered, still surprised by its speed and power.
Back in the meat shop, Aki was placed on a bench while the D-Team got their plan ready. "This'll work perfectly!" Max said as he pulled down a red curtain.
"You think four of these hams will be enough?" Zoe asked as she carried over four large hams to Rex, who was tying some ropes together to make a larger one.
"Yeah, we'll tie them together with this." He said before recalling Ace.
"DINO SLASH! CARNOTAURUS, BLOW HER AWAY!"
Back with the fight, Ally knocked Gigas away before he fell on top of the Alpha Gang. The trio screamed before Gigas smashed them and was carded. "Smashing." They all mumbled.
"So that's where Gigas came from." Rod said as he looked down at the trio with a annoyed frown on his face.
"Guess we should've taken the third Alpha Scanner after all." Laura said with equal annoyance, Rod nodding in agreement.
Ally gave out a roar of anger due to being cheated out of ham before she saw something run past her. She looked and saw Ace wearing a red curtain with four hams tied to the ends. "You know you want these." Ace said as he ran to a place where they could settle this without much damage, Ally following in pursuit of the ham.

Ace eventually lead Ally right into the bullfight arena from earlier. Once they made it to the center, Ace stopped and looked at Ally. She wasn't showing any signs of being tired yet, so he'd have to keep with up her a little more, much to his dismay due to wearing the red cape. Ally seemed to be feeling the same way about the cape as she roared and charged towards Ace. The Carnotaurus quickly moved out of the way, and the Allosaurus snapped at nothing. "That's the way to dodge, Ace!" Rex cheered as the rest of the D-Team caught up with him.
"Wow! Just like a bullfight, but with dinosaurs." Chomp said as the dinos hopped onto the higher seats and watched the battle continue.
Ally kept on constantly charging at Ace, her hunger and anger making it hard for her to think of a better plan. Ace responded by continuously dodging every attack with very little effort. "You can't keep doing this forever." Ace told her. His point was proven when Ally started panting. "Perfect. You're all out."
"Now's your chance to finish her off, Ace!" Rex told him.
Ace was about to go forth with the finishing blow, but he lost his train of thought when he saw a flicker of the cape in the corner of his eye. He looked back at the cape and felt the anger from before returning. The way it was holding the ham just felt like it was mocking him about how he can't have its hams. Ace growled before he started snapping at the cape to get the ham off. "Uh-oh. Ace is starting to lose focus." Terry noticed.
"Listen, Ace, get Ally back into her card and you can destroy that cape and take the ham!" Rex called out to him.
"Understood!" Ace roared in reply as he quickly regained his focus. Ally noticed his lack of focus and immediately charged forward. But she acted too late and Ace was able to lead her near a wall before he dodged her attack again, causing her to get her head stuck in the wall.
Rod and Laura showed up and gasped when they saw what was going on. Ace had Ally on her last legs. "Aah!"
The Allosaurus pulled her head out and decided to finish this off with Mayfly again. She powered up her attack before she charged forward. "We've got a counter for Mayfly!" Rex told her. "It's called Ninja Attack!"
Ace began running forward, causing the cape to fly off, and made duplicates of himself. The two carnivores eventually met and split off to perform their attacks. Ally began repeatedly pelting the air, not realizing she used it too early. And this proved to be the checkmate for Ace as he began repeatedly hitting her with his clones once she stopped. The speed of the clones picked up and eventually an enormous glow of white filled the whole arena, signaling the end of the battle.
Max quickly ran down from the stands to claim their prizes. "All right! Another Dinosaur Card!" He exclaimed as he caught the two cards.
Ace didn't hear him and started tearing up the cape before he started eating the ham. "You did it, Ace." Terry said as they ran over to him.
"So go ahead. Eat up. You deserve it." Rex told him.
"This'll teach that cape for mocking me!" Ace said as he swallowed a ham, making the others sweatdrop.

Back in the meat shop, Aki finally woke up. "Huh? What... happened?" She asked as she sat up. "I could swear I saw Max earlier, but... how?" She then recalled what she saw
"Mom!" Max cried as he ran towards her with a distressed look on his face.
"Max couldn't be all the way over here in Spain, could he? That's silly." She laughed as she shrugged it off as just being homesick. That is, until she noticed something next to her. "Huh? Where did this come from?" She picked it up and noticed it was a letter meant for her.

Back with Rod and Laura, they gathered the trio and flew back home in the rocket. Both had their arms crossed as they looked down at the three idiots who ruined everything. "We would've gotten that Dinosaur Card if you guys hadn't messed everything up." Rod scolded them.
"Yes, perhaps." Ursula weakly said.
"You should've stayed behind and vacuumed like you were told." Laura told them.
"This may look bad now." Ursula said with a sheepish smile. "But remember, there's always a bright side."
"What's the bright side?" Ed asked.
"We're not traveling in the luggage compartment." Zander answered. Rod and Laura responded by huffing at them. If they weren't in trouble before, they sure were now.

Aki returned home at around sunset and told her family everything while they sat around Spike's campfire. "It's true! It is! I could've sworn I saw you in Barcelona, Max." Aki said.
Everyone immediately started laughing nervously. "That's impossible, Mom. How could I get all the way to Spain and back in just one day without a plane?" Max asked.
"I know it doesn't make any sense, but it looked just like you." Aki said. "And that's not all, I found this letter from your father." She said as she pulled it out, blushing as she looked at it.
"Oh, Aki, wait!" Spike pleaded, not wanting her to read it.
"Let me read it to you. It's so sweet." Aki said before reading the letter. "'Dearest Aki, my love, without you here the house feels like a blimp with no hot air.'" The others all groaned when they realized how bad Spike's letter was while he chuckled nervously. "'No, wait, like a donut with no hole. No, more like a dinosaur without its roar. Oh, never mind please be safe and come home soon. P.S., the house is a disaster. Love, Spike."
"Oh, that's right. Gotta run." Max said as he quickly got up. "I didn't clean my room yet."
"Uh, I need to check on mine." Rex said as he followed him.
"I'll help you guys." Zoe said as she followed them both.
"Hmm." Aki said as she watched them leave. "But I still can't figure out is you got this letter to me." She said as she looked back down at the letter.
"The power of love, Aki." Spike answered.
"Love?" Aki repeated as Spike sat up.
"Mm-hmm. It was the sheer power of my love for you that carried that letter across the endless ocean.
Aki gasped when she heard that, getting a serious blush on her face. "Oh, Spike. That's the most romantic thing you've ever said to me."
"Welcome home, Aki." Spike said before they embraced.
"Glad to be back, honey!"
The kids and dinos watched the scene with smiles on their faces. "Better get to your cleaning, boys." Tank said to Max's team as she pointed to the mess inside.
"Huh?" The trio said before they remembered what they said. "Uhh! I guess that means you're not gonna help us." Max said.
"How come making a mess is so much easier than cleaning it up?" Chomp said before they all groaned while the others laughed. "That's our cue to leave." He said before he and Terry made a bolt for it.
"Hey, get back here!" Max called out to them. "There's no way you guys are making me clean this all by myself!"
Next time on Dinosaur King:
Dr. Owen: Spinoberg is impossible!
Max: You mean the guy that rips off Steven Spielberg
Camera guy: There's a live dinosaur here!
Spinoberg: I need that in my movie!
Rod & Laura: Helga?
A/N: Some interesting backstory about this chapter is that I'm writing it from this college summer camp. It's both fun and tiring. But they did make posting this challenging as well as anything else Fan-Fiction related.
Anyway, like with others, TerryXAlly will be canon. I got it from reading something on the Dinosaur King characters page on Wikipedia that the Allosaurus has a crush on Terry, which is BS by the way. It won't happen for a bit due to the same reason other couples aren't forming, and because Ally was mainly teasing him, she does that a lot. I'll be honest, I was worried about making that scene a little too inappropriate. I mean, this story is rated T, but that doesn't mean that there isn't a limit on how big of an innuendo I make. If I feel I took it too far I'll post a disclaimer at the top.
Another thing people might notice is how early the D-Team is able to tell the genders of the dinosaurs they encountered. Here, Rex could tell Ally was a female immediately, and Max could do the same with Sweet Tooth. If you're guessing that they've learned how to tell if a dinosaur's male or female then you are correct. The Alpha Gang can't since they're not as connected with the dinosaurs. Just some fun knowledge.
I did get someone asking about if the dinosaurs have voices. I personally don't give them any specific voice actors, nor am I gonna look for any, so give them whatever voice you want.
Have fun with that.
