It was night at the D-Lab when Dr. Owen gave the D-Team another call. "Ha, ha, ha, ha! Dug up anything new?" He asked Spike while giving him two thumbs up.
Spike giggled before doing the same. "Just a funny bone!" He said before they did their dance, this time Spiny and Chomp joining in for fun. "What makes dinosaurs extinct? Not taking a bath, we think! Yeah!"
While that happened, and Tank threw up again, the rest of the D-Team were conversing about Dr. Owen's location. "Rex! Your dad is where?" Max asked, still having a hard time believing what he heard.
"Oh, he's in Hollywood as an advisor on some dinosaur movie they're shooting." Rex said as he looked at the magazine he was given that promoted the movie.
"That's so cool!" Max exclaimed as he snatched the magazine and started to look it over.
"Not really when you take into account that the director of the movie is Stanley Spinoberg." Rex said.
"Are you kidding?!" Max looked at the blonde like he was crazy. "His movies are the best! First, there was Indiana Jones-"
"He did Illinois Joe." Rex corrected him.
"Oh. Well, he did do E.T. The Extra-"
"E.C. The Extra Clumsy Alien." Rex corrected him again.
"That garbage?" Max asked before looking at the magazine that shows the movie title 'Prehistoric Park', but had the Jurassic Park logo. "Wait a minute, is this the guy that does those cheap Spielberg rip-offs because he claims he can do better?"
"The very same." Rex sighed. "And, as you'd expect, Dad and the director do not get along in the slightest."
"Oh, come on. I know he has a reputation, but things can't be that bad." Spike said to his friend as they had their own conversation.
"Spinoberg is impossible!" Dr. Owen yelled at the top of his lungs, getting everyone's attention.
"What's going on, Dad?" Rex asked, already knowing the answer, though.
"Ohh! It's horrible! Every day, pouring all my dinosaur knowledge and passion into the project to try to make it the best dinosaur movie in history, and every day watching my efforts go to waste because of this fanatical director!" Dr. Owen cried as he remembered the incident from earlier that day.
The camera was all set onto a jungle-looking background as a large animatronic that looked a lot like Terry was moved into the set. But when Spinoberg saw it he was immediately livid. "No, no, no! Who's responsible for this ridiculous-looking dinosaur?!"
"It's accurate to the last detail." Dr. Owen proudly replied.
"Audiences don't pay to see accuracy!" Spinoberg yelled at him, making everyone jump back in fright. "I want a dinosaur that says, 'Look at me. I'm fantastic!" He said before grabbing many buckets of paint and started painting all over the dinosaur. "Something colorful! Something wild! Something like no one's ever seen on the big screen before! Not like those fogs of mist that Spielberg uses!" Dr. Owen watched in horror as the dinosaur model he spent hours working in was turned into a colorful abomination that would terrify anyone who saw it. "That's what I want!"
"No dinosaur ever looked like that, ever!" Dr. Owen yelled in frustration before running over to Spinoberg. "What are you trying to make, a movie or a cartoon? Actually, scratch that, because even cartoons do better than this!"
"I think you're forgetting that I'm the director here!" Spinoberg said as he pushed Dr. Owen down by the nose.
"Well, I'm the dinosaur expert!" Dr. Owen screamed before he started pulling the director's lips.
"Not for long if you keep this accuracy shit up!" Spinoberg screamed in reply as he started pulling Dr. Owen's face.
"And that's how it's been every day." Dr. Owen finished his backstory. "I'm not returning to the set until he apologizes! He can just forget it!" He screamed before he flopped onto his bed and covered himself with his blanket.
"Dad, you can't just give up like that." Rex told his father, not wanting him to be bested by Spinoberg.
"Yes, I can! You don't know what it's like..." He said before he started rambling.
Max and Zoe both had weird, embarrassed, purple faces from watching this go on. "He's acting like a kid." Max said.
"Or like a movie star." Zoe said. "I've heard that Hollywood can do that to people."
As Dr. Owen continued his tantrum, in Hollywood, a pickup truck pulled over to a set in the heavy rain. "Let's get this unloaded. We need it on the set in the morning." The man driving said as he got out and prepared to movie the robot parts out of the rain.
"Okay, okay!" One of the other men said as he lifted the cover and grabbed an arm before noticing one of the robots. "Aah! What is that thing?!"
"We found it down at the docks. Spinoberg wanted a weird, scary robot for his rip-off, so we got him one. Help me gather the pieces so when can put it back together." Lightning flashed to reveal this robot was actually Helga. Her head was still smashed, but very much repairable.
(Intro Theme)
Before he went home for the day, Spinoberg went to work and discovered a new set that was a barren wasteland. "This is my new set?!" He angrily asked. "It's boring! There's nothing on it!"
"Actually, Dr. Owen was very proud of it." The assistant said. "He said that's what the Jurassic looked like."
"Then the Jurassic is boring!" Spinoberg yelled at him. "Oh! Redo it and make it pop! Oh!"
"Hey, what if we keep the set, up shoot some kung-fu instead?" The assistant suggested before pulling out a nunchaku and waving it around. Smirking at his skills, he noticed Spinoberg attacking the set. "Huh? Hey, wait! What's going on?"
"Jurassic! Schmassic!" Spinoberg yelled, scaring the rest of the crew away as he started messing with the set. "What this set needs is more excitement!" He said as he removed the wallpaper to that of an old town. "More explosions! More everything!" He said as he grabbed a rocket launcher and started blasting around. What he didn't realize was that he caused a capsule to open in one of the explosions. "Box office, baby!" He declared while using a machine gun and laughing like a maniac. "Ha ha ha ha!" Suddenly, lightning struck the set's roof and caused a short outage. "Yikes!" Spinoberg exclaimed as fog went everywhere, covering up the card that was now flowing with electricity. "Now that's what in talking about! Ha, ha!" Spinoberg praised himself before leaving. "Have the same stuff ready for tomorrow, too, got it?" He told the assistant before leaving. The assistant just sighed in defeat before leaving as well.
When they did, the card finally activated. The dinosaur was a three-horned ceratopsian. Its huge frill, about as large as Toro's, was squared shaped and had many small bumps like Francine, but there was a groove at the top with two hook-like bumps near it. Its cheeks also had spikes, again like Francine. It was a golden-orange, with many light brown marking all around the body, particularly one outlining its face. This dinosaur was a Pentaceratops.
DK
It didn't take long for the signal to reach the D-Lab. "Where's the dinosaur!" Max asked.
"It's in Los Angeles, California." Reese answered. "Be careful; they have earthquakes out there." She warned the kids as they teleported away. "Not to mention kooky movie stars." She added.
"Wait! Movie stars?!" Spike asked.
DK
"We blew a fuse!" A man in one of the warehouses said.
"What was that, lightning?" Another asked.
"Somebody grab a flashlight." A third man said.
In all this chaos, none of them noticed Helga's eyes glow red. Her face had been duct-taped back together, and all of the gears they could find were thrown in. As the red died down, her eyes returned to their normal look and she stood up as another flash of lightning occurred.
DK
At Zeta Point, it was misery for everyone. "I'm hungry! Where's my dinner!" Dr.Z yelled as he laid on a sun chair on the beach.
"On its way! Coming right up!" Ursula replied as she ran past him.
"And did anyone wash my clothes yet?!" The doctor added.
"Yes, Dr.Z., I'm on it!" Ed said as he ran past with a large basket of clothes.
But before the old man could even breathe, he was suddenly getting pelted by one of the Velociraptors, who escaped the test tube, jumping on his back while the other two pulled his beard. "Get these varmints off me!"
"Let's go, you guys. Play over there." Zander said as he lead them away with a cattle prod, only to end up getting attacked by all three. "Yow!" He cried as he ran around with the raptors holding onto him with their teeth and claws, thankfully for Zander not making deep cuts.
"Somebody come turn me over!" Dr.Z continued to whine, waiting for one of his servants to come and flip him over.
From the sidelines, Rod and Laura watched the suffering in silence. "Grandpa's really cranky today. What's up?" Rod asked.
"Maybe he doesn't like the service now that Helga's gone." Laura guessed with a smile, indicating she was half-joking.
"I still don't know why Helga hasn't come back yet." Rod said before his Scanner started beeping and he took it out to examine it. "Huh? A dinosaur!"
"It's all yours, you two." Seth said as he walked over to them.
"Really, Seth?" Rod asked.
Seth crouched down and put a hand on Rod's shoulder. "Go capture it and bring it home. It might even help your grandfather feel better."
Really? Then let's go, Laura!" Rod said as he ran to the hangar.
"Wait for me!" Laura called out as she ran after him.
Seeing they were gone, Seth turned his attention to the raptors. "Now." When they heard him, the trio immediately stopped attacking Zander, who took this opportunity to limp away like a wounded animal, and stared cowering before their master. "I thought I told you three not to leave until you were done with training. I'd hate to have to have you three replaced with someone more obedient." When he said that, the raptors turned around and could see the eyes of a carnivore in the trees.
DK
After the teleportation, the D-Team found themselves in the studio lot. "Whoa! Look where we are! It's a movie studio!" Max gasped as he looked around.
"Yeah, and I think it's the same studio my dad's at." Rex said as he checked his Dino Holder to confirm the dinosaur was in the area.
"Aah! Look who it is!" Zoe suddenly gasped. "I'd know that face from anywhere. That's Johnny Zepp in his vampire makeup!" She pointed to a man dressed as a vampire walking past them, chuckling at the attention. "Oh, he's so hot!"
"Isn't he just a Johnny Depp wanna be?" Max sarcastically asked.
"No, they just have similar names." Rex replied.
Terry looked around before noticing an animatronic dinosaur approaching them. "Whoa!" He gasped when he saw a T-Rex that almost looked exactly like him, except it had no legs and was being driven by a truck. "Oh, for a second, I thought that was a real Tyrannosaurus." He said as he sighed in relief.
"It's not bad. What's Spinoberg's problem?" Ace wondered.
"Yeah, it would've scared me. Maybe they should use it in the next Jurassic Park movie." Max said.
"Hey, look over there! Is that George Lucas?" Zoe pointed out.
"I think it's actually George Looney." Rex said.
"I don't know who it is, but everywhere you look there's something cool." Terry said.
Chomp wasn't listening and looked at the disappearing float. "If that thing looks so real, what's to say that the dinosaur might not be among the other props?" He whispered to Spiny.
"Are you suggesting we go after it and search the studio?" Spiny asked.
"Any objections?" Chomp asked.
"No, let's do this!" Spiny exclaimed before they both ran off.
Only Tank noticed them leaving. "Are you both serious?" She thought aloud as she ran after them.
"So that's what a Transformer is." Terry said as they watched one turn into a robot. "Awesome, isn't it, Bro?" Terry said to Chomp, only to realize he wasn't there. "Uh, where did Chomp go?"
"Spiny and Tank are gone, too!" Paris realized.
"This is going to end badly." Max said before they quickly went to search for them.
DK
With the trio of runaway dinosaurs, they found themselves in a building and noticed the tail of one of the animatronics. "This has to be it." Chomp said as he bit onto the tail to see if he was right.
Tank managed to catch up with them and immediately whacked Spiny on the head. "You two idiots better have a good reason for wandering off."
Before Spiny could answer, Spinoberg's assistant came into the room, causing Spiny and Tank to hide under the cover of the tail Chomp was biting on. "Break's over! Get ready for the next setup!"
"All right." A man near a forklift said as he finished his coffee.
The assistant was about to leave before he noticed Chomp still latching onto the fake tail. "Hmm? Must be another prop." He said as he picked him up and carried him away. Before Spiny and Tank could follow, they were carted away.
DK
"Chomp!"
"Tank!"
"Spiny!"
"Where are you guys?!" The D-Team called out for their missing partners. Apparently, they forgot that they could just recall them at any time. Or maybe they assumed they were in a building and couldn't be called back.
"You lost them already?" The team turned around and saw Rod and Laura approach them in their scooters.
"Ugh." Terry sighed in annoyance. "What'd you two want?"
"Well, while you fumble around looking for your little lost friends, we're going to catch the dinosaur." Laura told them.
"Happy hunting!" Rod mocked as they drove away. "See ya!"
"Great. Just what we needed right now." Max groaned sarcastically. "I swear, if they beat us again I'm going to-"
DK
"And...action!" Spinoberg said as the clapboard slapped down.
The set was currently having rain come down as a lone jeep was in the center of it. There was the sound of heavy footsteps before a dark Tyrannosaurus appeared. The man in the jeep quickly got out and ran away as the dinosaur gave out a roar. This was obviously based on the jeep scene from the better dinosaur movie this was ripping off.
"All right, lose the rain and cue the moonlight." Spinoberg ordered. "I wanna see some serious Tyrannosaurus emotions."
Said actions were done and the set lit up to reveal the Tyrannosaurus, only it was Spinoberg's hideous model from earlier. The model then starting crying like an obnoxious mother while making equally ugly faces that would've offended any Tyrannosaurs watching. The assistant's jaw dropped to the ground at what he was seeing. Spinoberg was impressed by everything. "Good. Now bring in the lost child returning to its mother!"
Now ripping off the Lost World, Chomp leap out of the jeep and noticed the Tyrannosaurus in front of him. "My god, you're ugly." He said to the model.
"It's a heartwarming reunion." Spinoberg said as the model made a horrifying face that was supposed to be happy.
Chomp saw the face and was immediately disgusted. "That's it. You need to go." He said as he leapt into the air and grabbed onto the model's nose.
"I'm smelling an Oscar!" Spinoberg cried. "No one's ever made a dinosaur movie like this one!"
"Ignoring the complete lie in that statement, what about the realism?" The assistant asked.
"Huh?" Spinoberg growled.
"The mother and child dinosaur are completely different species. And-"
"Hey, how dare to second-guess the great Spinoberg?!" Spinoberg yelled at his assistant as his eyes turned red. "I don't make mistakes, and even if I did, they wouldn't be mistakes anymore once I made them. They'd be strokes of genius, and people would get popcorn while they watched them!"
While he was yelling, Chomp continued on pulling the model's nose until all of the skin peeled off. "Cut!" Spinoberg screamed in horror as he tripped in shock. "The lonely lost child is not supposed to bite its loving mother's nose off! You miss her, you want her to love you, remember?! Someone get a new mommy dinosaur in here now!" While he was giving out orders, Chomp ran off and Spiny and Tank came out of the red cloth that covered the model. "Well, look what we have here! Let's put some makeup on these two dogs and we can get them into the picture, too!" Spinoberg commanded.
"Pass!" Tank said as she and Spiny made a run for it.
"Aah! Someone catch them!" Spinoberg ordered, hitting his assistant with his newspaper in the process.
The trio continued on running until they noticed another animatronic. "You guys thinking what I'm thinking?" Chomp asked.
"Returning to the group?" Tank suggested.
"Using the fake dino to roam the set and get the real one to come out?" Spiny asked.
"It's like you read my mind." Chomp smirked at Spiny's idea.
"Uuuugh. Morons, I'm surrounded by morons." Tank could only groan.
DK
A wolf howled at the moon on a set for a vampire movie that was currently being shot. A princess looks out the window of her bedroom while Johnny Zepp, playing a vampire, crept up behind her. The princess turned around and saw Johnny about to pounce on her. "Aah!" She screamed.
"Yah!" Johnny yelled at her.
As the princess continued on screaming, the wall behind them burst and the Pentaceratops walked out. The princess froze when she saw the dinosaur, confusing Johnny, who kept on making scary faces at her, and fainted. "Huh?" Johnny was even more confused until he heard the roar of the Pentaceratops. Turning around, he was face to face with the dinosaur. "Aah! Aah!" He was so spooked that his upper fangs fell off before he ran away with the rest of the crew.
DK
After finding a way to knock out Dr.Z for a few hours, Ursula and the others went to Hollywood for an important mission. "We've been here for hours and nothing!" Ursula exclaimed in frustration.
"Yeah, where's the dinosaur?" Ed asked.
"Not that, you blockhead!" Ursula scolded him before bashing his face. "I'm looking for something much more interesting." She said with a mischievous smile and a blush on her face.
"We just passed the bathroom." Zander commented.
"Think about it. We're at a big-time Hollywood studio! That means there are films stars around here, and when I find one, ah, I just know sparks of love will fly." Ursula said before she heard someone screaming. Turning around, she saw Johnny Zepp running towards her. "And look! That's Johnny Zepp!" She exclaimed with heart-eyes before hugging him around the neck. "Oh, Johnny, I'm your biggest fan!"
"Yeah, well, talk to my agent, okay?!" Johnny struggled before throwing her off and running away.
"My love! Stop!" Ursula cried as the Pentaceratops showed up behind her.
"Ursula! Look! It's the dinosaur!" Zander told her and he and Ed started to panic and search for their Alpha Scanner.
"Could you two handle that one on your own? I must go where Johnny goes! Whee!" She exclaimed as she went after him, making him running from a real monster now.
"She's lost it for sure this time." Zander said as she left.
"And I think I lost the Alpha Scanner!" Ed added. What he didn't know was Rod and Laura took the Scanner to prevent them from screwing up another mission.
Zander tensed when he realized they were not completely defenseless against the Pentaceratops. "Ahh! Wait for us, Ursula!"
The Pentaceratops stopped when he saw them running away. "Johnny, my love! Come back!" Ursula called out as they disappeared. The Pentaceratops turned around, scaring a horse carrying a wagon away, before noticing a colorful Triceratops animatronic.
What he didn't notice was the hatch opening up to reveal Chomp and his friends controlling it. "Okay, no sign of it in that set." Chomp said as he crossed off another building on a map he conveniently found. "Let's try this one." He said as he pulled a switch and they drove into the next set. The Pentaceratops shook his tail like a dog in excitement and followed.
DK
"Where are my doggies?!" Spinoberg called out as he searched the studio for Tank and Spiny. "I need them!"
Just then, Spinoberg's assistant cane running towards him, looking very exhausted. "You've got to get out of here! There's a real dinosaur on the lot!"
"What?! A real dinosaur?!" Spinoberg asked in excitement before noticing the Pentaceratops walking right past the exit to the hall they were in. "Whoa! You weren't kidding! What a fantastic piece of luck this is! I've got to have that dinosaur in my movie!" He told his assistant as he grabbed him by the shirt
"And what if it eats us?" The assistant asked.
"Then I'll film that, too! This is perfect!" Spinoberg said as he tossed his assistant away like a rag doll.
DK
"Chomp! Where are you?" Max called out as they continued searching for Chomp and the other missing dinosaurs.
"Come here, Spiny!" Zoe called out.
"Tank!" Rex called out.
"Darn. If only I could find their scent." Terry said as he sniffed the air again, but not picking up their scents. But he did pick up another familiar one. "Huh?"
"Hiya, kids!" Dr. Owen said as he drove his yellow car over to where they were.
"Dad!" Rex exclaimed in relief.
"Dr. Taylor just called me about the dinosaur. Have you found it yet?" Dr. Owen asked them.
"Not yet." Ace said.
Things started looking up for them when they heard people screaming. "Run for your lives!"
"I think those screams will be a good place to start looking." Max said before they ran to see if either the Pentaceratops or their dinosaurs were there.
DK
In his search for the animatronic, the Pentaceratops found himself on a moon-based set before tons of spotlights were shined down on him, blinding the poor dinosaur. From the bright lights, he could briefly see a bunch of robots standing, and Helga approaching him. "Fantastic!" Spinoberg said from a crane nest as he was holding a camera. "A futuristic space showdown between a genuine dinosaur and a frightening robot! I can't believe the way I keep topping myself! And... action!"
The Pentaceratops and Helga continued on staring each other down when the D-Team arrived. "That's a Pentaceratops!" Terry identified.
"Look! Is Hilda in this movie, too?" Zoe asked as she pointed out the android maid. "And what's with the duct tape?"
"Aah! It's Helga!" Helga yelled.
"Look!" Laura pointed out as she and Rod entered the set.
"I don't believe it! You're back!" Rod said to Helga.
"Time to study!" Helga yelled before charging towards the Pentaceratops. "Aah!" She leapt at the Pentaceratops and hit him on the face with her spoon, causing him to fall to the ground.
"Egad! She just knocked out Pentaceratops with a soup spoon!" Dr. Owen gasped before noticing a familiar, and annoying, presence. "Agh! It's Spinoberg!" He growled as the director started listing out commands.
"I want more fighting, more destruction!" He told Helga.
"You must do your homework und-und finish your studies." She said as she started to sound like she was malfunctioning. The Pentaceratops got up and roared in anger before hitting her with such force that it sent her through the set's background. "Aah!" She yelled before she crashed. When the dust cleared, she was short-circuiting and her head was slowly opening up. "That was naughty. No more snacks for you. No more snacks." She struggled to say, clearly glitching.
"Helga!" Rod said as he and Laura drove over to her, both drastically worried about her.
"He-llo, children. Have you down your homewooo-" she said before she shut off.
"How dare you hurt her!" Rod yelled at the Pentaceratops.
"ALPHA SLASH! YOU'RE UP, TYRANNOSAURUS!"
Gigas appeared and knocked down the set as he went for the Pentaceratops, more out of redemption for his many losses than revenge for Helga. "I love it!" Spinoberg said as the crane lowered to get a better look at Gigas. "The robot's loyal friend arrives and attacks with another dinosaur!"
"Come on!" The assistant urged. "It's too dangerous in here! We've got to get-"
"Go bring up the lights!" Spinoberg yelled at him. "Can't you see this is the big climax?!"
The assistant obliged and quickly turned the lights up to their brightest. Gigas roared before he went for the Pentaceratops. "This is my moment of glory!"
The Pentaceratops was going to take him on, but stopped when he noticed the animatronic he was chasing. "Uh, guys? I think I found the dinosaur." Spiny said as he looked through one of the holes in the cover.
"Let me see." Tank said as she saw the Pentaceratops looking right at them, and she did not like the way he was looking at them or shaking his tail. "Chomp, get us out of here." She said frantically.
"On it!" Chomp said as he pulled a level and the animatronic moved out of the set.
The Pentaceratops saw this and quickly went after them, narrowly avoiding Gigas' bite. "What?!"
"How did you miss it, Gigas? Go after it!" Rod said as the three of them went after the dinosaur.
"We got to do something!" Max said as the Alpha Gang left.
"Yeah, they're going to hurt Pentaceratops!" Paris said.
"If Tank was here she'd easily have to problem getting in the middle of that." Rex said grimly.
"And Chomp could maybe calm the Pentaceratops down." Max said before they ran after the fight.
"Slow down! Let me get a close-up!" Spinoberg said as he ran after them with the camera.
"Stanley, stop!" His assistant called out as he ran after him.
DK
Meanwhile, Zepp was still running for his life from the crazed Ursula. "Johnny, we were meant for each other!"
"She doesn't give up!" Zepp said to himself as he looked back before he saw what was going on in front of him. "Now what?"
He saw the animatronic drive last him, then the Pentaceratops, then Gigas, then Spinoberg. "Fantastic!" Spinoberg said as he followed.
Zepp was shocked at what he saw, this place was becoming a madhouse. He looked back and forth and debated which way would be worse. He got his answer when he saw the horse carriage from before coming his way. "Yes!" He whispered before he ran after it.
"Wait for me, my love!" Ursula exclaimed as she followed. "I just know that I can make you happy!" She was so lovestruck that she didn't notice Zepp slip onto the carriage. This caused Ursula to break out of her lovestruck trance. "Huh?! Where'd you go? Now you've broken my heart!" She cried.
"Phew!" Zepp sighed in relief before he climbed into the wagon.
As that happened, Dr. Owen and Patrick ran down a street to search for the chase. "That Pentaceratops is in danger! We've got to help him!" Dr. Owen said to Patrick.
"Just leave it to me, Dr. Owen." Patrick assured him. "I'm very experienced in catching bulls." He said before noticing the Pentaceratops approaching them.
"This would be larger than your average bull." Dr. Owen dryly pointed out.
Patrick ignored him and pulled out his lasso. "Olé!" The rope tied around the horse, causing it to panic and Zepp to be thrown around. "Hee-ya!" Patrick yelled as he mounted the horse and rode it to the battle.
As the horse sped up, Zepp was knocked out of the wagon. "Aah! Ooh!"
"Aah! A vampire!" Dr. Owen screamed when he saw the actor lying in front of him.
Zepp quickly got up and grabbed him. "Do me a favor, pal." He said before putting his cape on him. "Put this on. Now lie down." He said before tossing him into the coffin that fell out of the wagon he was in.
"Oh. Hey, what do you think you're doing?!" Dr. Owen yelled as the coffin closed. Zepp didn't answer and continued to run before Ursula showed up. "Let me out of here! Let me out!"
"I can smell your cologne, Johnny." Ursula said as she appeared. "You can't be too far away. Hmm?" She stopped sniffing when she noticed part of Johnny's cape sticking out of the coffin Dr. Owen was on.
"Somebody open this thing! Let me out!" Dr. Owen continued on pounding the coffin, hoping it would open.
His words fell on deaf ears as Ursula ignored the voice and focused on the cape. "You waited for me!" She blushed heavily. "I knew you'd see the light!"
Dr. Owen stopped struggling when he heard Ursula. "Ah. That voice!" He then started having flashbacks of their many encounters: New York, Mexico, and...wait, that's it.
"I'm here, darling!" Ursula cried as she hugged the coffin.
"Just as I always knew." Dr. Owen replied. "You and I are bound by fate to be together, my dear!"
"Oh!" Ursula exclaimed in delight, still oblivious to who she was really talking to.
DK
As that happened, the chase continued between the dinosaurs. "I'll get that dinosaur!" Patrick said as the wagon sped up.
Spinoberg, who was riding in a cart his assistant was pushing, was loving what he was getting. "Yes! Now it's a wild Western dinosaur robot science fiction movie!"
"Hee-yaa!" Patrick yelled before giving his lasso another toss. But instead of going around the Pentaceratops, it instead grabbed onto Gigas' mouth.
"What the heck?" Gigas asked before he tossed the rope, and by extension Patrick, away.
"Ah-eee!" Patrick screamed as he was sent flying.
From their seat, the missing dinos were able to see Patrick flying. "Well, now I've seen everything." Tank said.
Patrick continued on flying until he landed in front of the D-Team. "Patrick!" Rex said.
"Uh, they went thataway." Patrick pointed to another studio where they saw the dinosaurs enter.
DK
Inside the studio, there were cameras and spotlights pointed towards a green screen. The animatronic stopped in the center and the Pentaceratops stopped right next to it. But before he could say anything to this new female, Gigas appeared and went towards them. "All right, no more running." He said as he stopped in front of the Pentaceratops. The Pentaceratops silently agreed by preparing to attack, moving in front of the animatronic to protect it.
"Whoa! The first dinosaur's really angry now!" Spinoberg said as he continued filming before realizing. "Of course! It thinks the phony dinosaur is a real one, and it's trying to protect it! Have you ever seen such devotion?"
DK
"Darling, tell me you accept my love and make me the happiest man in a wooden box!" Dr. Owen said to Ursula, who still didn't catch on it wasn't Zepp she was talking to.
"Oh, I do accept!" Ursula quickly responded, almost crying. "I can't believe you've chosen me out of all the women who adore you! And to know that I'm the one for you makes me so happy I could cry!" She was, in fact, crying a river of tears before a realization hit her. "I realize that you work every day with beautiful starlets who are much younger than I am. This will probably never work. You're still a young man, but I've got kids calling me old lady, and I might've seen the beginnings of a wrinkle this morning!" While she was busy talking, she didn't notice Dr. Owen's arm try to open the coffin, only to get crushed by the lid and forced back in.
"I don't care about age!" Dr. Owen told her.
"What?"
"Now that I have you, darling, wild dinosaurs couldn't drag me away! In fact, my love for you gives me the strength of ten men!" The doctor said as he started pounding the coffin with more strength, starting to get Ursula excited. That is, until he broke free. "Come to me, my love! I'm all yours!" Ursula squealed in horror when she realized the man she was pouring her heart out to was this creep. "Finally, our long and lonely wait is over, and we can declare our undying love for each other! Waa-haa-ooh!"
Ursula quickly punched him in the face and sent him back into the coffin. She closed the lid, flipped it over, and put tons of heavy objects on top of it to prevent him from escaping. She was growling in anger as steam was coming out of her nose. At that moment, Zander and Ed finally caught up with her. "Ursula, what's going on?" Zander asked. Ursula responded by hitting them both on the head. "Ow!" "Ow!"
"Come on. Let's go get that stupid dinosaur and get out of here! I hate men!" She yelled in anger.
"What did we do to her?" The two men cried as they rubbed their wounds.

Back in the studio, Spinoberg kept on filming as the Pentaceratops leapt at Gigas, to tried to avoid all of his attacks and attack back. "Yes! Brilliant!" Spinoberg said as he watched the fight. "Aah! Something's not right. Rrr! I want some CG backgrounds!" He ordered his assistant.
"Yes, sir!" The assistant replied before quickly pulling up one of a city.
"Not the city one! That's been done to death! Give me something else!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Guys." Chomp whispered to his friends. "Move to the legs and push it towards Gigas. We might be able to scare him."
"Sounds like a plan to me." Tank said as she went to work, dragging Spiny along. Both of them went to one of the front legs each and started pushing them until the animatronic lined up with the Pentaceratops, which was a lot harder than one might think.
The Pentaceratops saw his crush was helping him and both began to advance towards Gigas, who was backing away in fear from a supposedly living animatronic. "Uh, I don't like how the fake one's moving. I know what this leads to. I've played Five Nights at Freddy's!"
"Now that's what I call bravery!" Spinoberg said as the camera showed them in a burning village. Due to the weight of the animatronic, Spiny and Tank then collapsed due to the exhaustion of pushing it.
Gigas looked behind him and noticed Rod and Laura finally catch up. "Rod, Gigas, that dinosaur hurt Helga, so I really wanna capture him and bring him back to Grandpa!"
"All right!" Rod agreed and pulled out a Move Card. "Spectral Lancer!"
Two crystals formed from Gigas' sides as he went for the Pentaceratops. The Pentaceratops quickly ran in front of the animatronic and allowed Gigas to pick him up and smash him into the green screen. Instead of being angry that his set was being damaged, Spinoberg was thrilled. "He took that attack to protect his friend! Such courage! Such love!" He cried. "This is the kind of heart and soul that my movies have been needing all along!"
It was then that the D-Team finally caught up with them. "Oh! Tank!" Rex gasped.
"Spiny!" Zoe gasped as well.
Max looked at the head of the animatronic and saw Chomp by the controls. "Chomp, get down from there! We need your help!" Max scolded him.
"Oops." Chomp muttered to himself, realizing he was in trouble.
"I'll handle this." Rex said as he recalled Tank.
"DINO SLASH! GO, SAICHANIA! SHAKE THEM UP!"
Tank appeared and was immediately about to break up the fight, but the Pentaceratops saw her and immediately charged towards the Saichania and knocked her away. "Tank!" Rex gasped.
"Oh, no!" Paris said worryingly.
"The romantic rival, yeah!" Spinoberg said as he filmed that, too.
"What are you talking about?" Terry asked.
"The timeless tale of a lover driven mad by his own jealousy!" Spinoberg explained as he filmed the Pentaceratops nuzzling the animatronic, adding flowers and stuff in the background.
"But Tank's a girl." Rex pointed out.
"Perfect! Represents the LGBT community!" Spinoberg said, making the others groan with weird faces.
"Uuuuuh."
All the nuzzling was causing the lid above the controls to close down on Chomp. "Wait!" Chomp called out, but it was too late and he was trapped inside.
"Now, Chomp! Let's go!" Max said as he tried recalling him, but he was unable to get the card to come to him through the lid. "It won't work!"
Gigas went for the Pentaceratops again, but Tank hit him with her tail, which lead to her getting knocked away by the Tyrannosaur's large head. The Pentaceratops then charged at Gigas again and the two started trading blows while the backgrounds kept changing from an old dojo, monk statues, a guy about to eat something, Japanese waves, a spaceship landing, and a marketplace before Gigas hit the Pentaceratops with his tail and shoved him away.
The Pentaceratops slid back until he was next to the animatronic. He roared in anger before charging forward, something Rod wanted. "Magma Blaster!"
Gigas gathered the fire and fired. Rex quickly grabbed out a Move Card to counter. "Earth Barrier!"
Tank leapt in-between the attacks and created a shield with the ground. The magma hit the shield and bounced off, causing a strong wind throughout the whole studio that blinded everyone and forced them to shield their eyes, except Spinoberg. "That's entertainment, baby! Spectacular!"
The winds were so strong that they caused the animatronic to fall over, causing the lid to open and Chomp to fall out. The Pentaceratops turned around and roared with horror, complete with dramatic effects, to see his crush dead on the ground, also with special effects. With multicolored fire appearing behind him, the Pentaceratops roared the loudest he had and charged at Gigas with all his might. "I feel your pain!" Spinoberg said as a light-speed background was added to show the Pentaceratops striking Gigas with such might it sent him flying through the roof.
"Augh!" Gigas cried as he flew out of range.
"Time to go!" Rod quickly said.
"Oh, yeah!" Laura agreed equally as fast before they both drove away.
"Unbelievable." Max said in awe of the Pentaceratops' power.
Rex silently agreed, but saw that Tank was in trouble. "Tank!" He called out.
The Saichania was currently flipped onto her back thanks to the blast and had no way of being able to get back onto her feet. As she struggled to get up, the Pentaceratops pawed the ground and prepared for the final strike, complete with fire for dramatic effect. "Oh, no!" Rex exclaimed as it looked like Tank was doomed.
"Don't worry!" Chomp assured him. "I should be able to calm him down."
"Let's hope you're right." Max said before recalling him.
"DINO SLASH! TRICERATOPS, ROAR!"
The Pentaceratops continued on charging towards Tank until he noticed Chomp running towards the supposed corpse of his lover. Chomp quickly went over to the animatronic and flipped it back up with his horns. "See, Brother? She's fine." Chomp told the Pentaceratops. But the Pentaceratops saw something else. He saw Chomp making moves on his girlfriend. This only made him more livid as he turned his attention away from Tank and onto Chomp. "No, wait! It's not what it looks like!"
The Pentaceratops ignored him and gave a furious roar before picking up his pace. "Watch out!" Tank warned as he ran past her.
Max saw this and quickly acted. "Take him down, Chomp! Thunder Driver!"
Chomp went to the Pentaceratops before he threw him into the air. "I'm sorry." He said as he felt electricity surge through him before he leapt up even higher and came back down and drove the Pentaceratops into the ground before he finally leapt out of the crater. The Pentaceratops weakly looked up and saw that Chomp had defeated him and taken his love away from him. Tears fell out of his eyes as his head fell to the ground and he was defeated.
"What just happened?" Max asked.
"The Pentaceratops loved that fake dinosaur and thought I was taking it away." Chomp said as he helped Tank back onto her feet. "I guess he was jealous."
"Why would he be worried about a Triceratops stealing his mate, though?" Tank asked.
"I don't know." Chomp replied, but he secretly knew why thanks to his relationship with Paris.
"What a lovely and tragic story!" Spinoberg cried as he pulled out a handkerchief. "And I captured it all on film! I'd better go work on my acceptance speech!"
As that happened, Gigas was still flying through the air until he crashed through another roof. "This is gonna hurt." He said before he landed on a bunch of soft mattresses that were conveniently there. Gigas slowly opened his eyes and noticed that he wasn't carded. "Wait, I'm alive?" He said, almost laughing as he got up. "Hehehe! I'm ali-" He was cut off by a large boulder prop landing on top of him. "Still alive, just in pain."

It was at night when Rod and Laura made their way back to Zeta Point after finding Gigas and loading Helga. "Hey! You can't leave without us!" Ursula called out as they quickly ran to where the craft was taking off.
Laura looked over the side and saw the trio desperately calling for them to come back. "What'd ya think, Rod? Should we let them come back with us?"
"All right." Rod sighed as he threw down a ladder for them to grab onto.
The trio grabbed onto the ladder and were lifted into the air. "Couldn't we just once have a more conventional travel experience?" Zander asked. Answer: no. "Aw, come on!"
Ursula ignored him and continued to cry. "Oh, Johnny, my love. Farewell!"
As they disappeared, Dr. Owen, who escaped thanks to Patrick finding him, watched his crush go off. "Bye! Farewell, my dear Ursula! Mwah!"
"What a day!" Spinoberg said as he walked with the D-Team. "In just twenty-four hours, I've created my greatest masterpiece!"
"Let us know when it comes out." Max told him. "I'd see any movie with dinosaurs in it." His friends nodded in agreement. Though, they were all lying just to make him feel better about the mess of a movie he filmed.
"You won't be disappointed." Spinoberg told them before noticing Dr. Owen. "Oh! Ah, Dr. Owen, I owe you an apology. You were right: the real dinosaurs were much better than my fake ones."
"I accept your apology." Dr. Owen replied as he tipped his hat. "Because in all of the commotion going on today, I was able to confess my love to the woman of my dreams!"
"Not this again." Rex groaned.
"Next time, Spinoberg, let's make a realistic dinosaur movie based only on fact." Dr. Owen suggested as he held out his hand.
"What?! I've already decided I'm making a dinosaur comedy romance, complete with musical numbers! Pure box office magic!" Spinoberg smugly smiled.
"That's ridiculous!" Dr. Owen yelled at him. "You're a lousy hack!"
"What'd you know about artistic vision?!" Spinoberg yelled back before they started pulling each other's faces again.
"You're overrated!"
"You're under-brained!"
"I never liked your movies!"
"There they go again. Should we stop 'em?" Chomp asked.
"Let them fight it out for a bit." Terry answered. "It'll allow them to let off some steam."
"You Tinseltown phony!"
"You bookworm nosebleed!"
"At least I've read a book!"
"Ah, go back to your lab!"

Speaking of labs, there was still some business to take care of at the D-Lab. While everyone else was busy, Chomp and the other ceratopsians were looking at Comet the Pentaceratops in the jail cell. The cell was made to hold dinosaurs that were too aggressive to immediately join the rest of the herd, complete with bars strong enough to hold back twenty charging Triceratops.
Right now the Pentaceratops was still unconscious while they waited for him to wake up. "Are you sure you'll be able to get through to him?" Francine asked.
"We need to at least talk to him." Chomp replied.
"Then why didn't we just do that in the sanctuary?" Francine asked in confusion.
"We don't want him accidentally hurting the others." Toro reminded her.
"Guys, I think he's waking up." Thorn pointed out as Comet groaned and slowly got up.
"Ugh. What happened?" He asked himself as he looked around in his new surroundings. "Where am I?" He wondered before noticing Chomp. "You!" He roared before charging forward, getting stopped by the bars, but still trying nonetheless. "You already took the love of my life! What more do you want?!"
"Please! I just want to talk!" Chomp urged. "What happened before was all a misunderstanding."
"In more ways than you realize." Thorn added.
"What're you talking about?" Comet asked, his anger rising with the confusion.
"The dinosaur you were going after wasn't alive." Chomp explained. "She was a fake."
"First you steal my love, and now you call me crazy!" Comet yelled as he charged at the bars again, barely causing a dent, thankfully.
"He's telling the truth!" Francine yelled, getting Comet's attention. "I was in your situation once, too. I was confused by all the changes going on in the world. And I too thought that the humans were being cruel with all their fake dinosaurs confusing me."
Comet listened, but still didn't believe her. "I know what I saw. She was real."
"Physically; yes. But not alive." Toro said as he went back and pushed something towards Comet. Comet gasped when he saw that it was the animatronic. "The human that was following you with the camera was nice enough to give us this as a 'gift' as he called it."
Comet didn't know what Toro was talking about, but quickly went over to the animatronic. "My dear, I'm glad that you're all right! Please give me another chance to be with you!"
The rest of the ceratopsians watched in pity. "Brother, she's not alive. She's just a prop that humans use in stories they call movies." Chomp tried to explain. "Why do you think she never talks."
"She just can't speak!" Comet quickly shot back, starting to sound urgent. "That's the reason why!"
"Then what about this." Thorn said as he walked over to the cover and lifted it with his horn.
"Aaaaaaaah!" Comet gasped in horror as he saw that her head was ripped open. But quickly realized that there was no blood oozing out. He took a closer look and saw that it was filled with objects and unfamiliar substances that he'd never seen before, that being the gadgets and parts that made the animatronic function to those who knew. He looked at the other dinosaurs. "This is just something that's come when we evolved over the years. Right?" He frantically asked. The other ceratopsians all looked down in sadness. Comet looked back at the animatronic again, tears once again coming out of his eyes. "Why? Why would the humans do this?" He cried as he collapsed on the floor of his cell.
Chomp and the others looked at him in pity and knew they had to comfort him. With the press of a button, the door opened and the four of them walked over to Comet and laid down beside him. "There, there. The humans didn't mean to trick you like this." Chomp assured him.
"Maybe, but... but it still hurts so much." Comet said before starting to sob.
Francine went over to his face a nuzzled it. "I'm sorry. I know that the new world is overwhelming and scary at first. But things will get better. I promise you that. And you have us to help you get through it."
Next time on Dinosaur King:
Ampelosaurus: Where am I?
Rod: We can't let them get that Ampelosaurus at all costs!
Ampelosaurus: What is your name, young one?
Seth: Nice to see you again
A/N: YES! I've been waiting for the next episode, and now I can finally work on it.
I've gotten quite a few reviews and questions, but most, if not all, I've already answered in previous author notes. Also, all the season one dinosaurs, and the first batch of season 2 dinosaurs, have names. Please no more suggestions.
Why did I make Spinoberg a guy who rips off Spielberg? Because I don't want to insult Spielberg with this asshole. A better title for this episode would have been 'Lights, Camera, Douchebag!'
As for Comet, don't worry about him too much. He'll get better next time we see him.
Let's see, anything else to talk about? Oh, yeah, one last thing. I've done it! This is the most favorited Dinosaur King story on the site. Thank you all for your support.
I'll see you all next time!
