"Keep that thing away from me!" Terry screamed as he, Chomp, Ace, and Tank all frantically ran away from Dr. Drake, who was chasing them around the office with the Mega Needle. All four of them were currently sick with a bad cold, which could be noticed by the drops of mucus coming out of their noses.
"Come back here, you four, it's just a little shot!" Dr. Drake pleaded.
"That's what they all say before it turns out to be even worse!" Ace shot back, pun unintended.
"Hold still, you need your medicine!" Dr. Drake said.
While the chase was going on, the rest of the D-Team watched from the sidelines. "I think Terry and the others would rather have the cold than let your dad give them his flu shot." Max said to Zoe.
"Spiny and Paris should be lucky they didn't get it." Zoe gestured to the Parasaurolophus in her arms.
"One of the advantages to being an idiot is that I'm too dumb to get sick." Spiny said proudly as he was standing on the sink.
"That's not how sickness works." Rex told him. "It's all based on your immune system."
"Oh." Spiny said before falling off the sink.
"They must've picked it up while we were in Siberia." Paris assumed. "And from what I've gathered, the bad luck is starting to spread to the others. Almost everyone's got something wrong with them." She said before listing off all the cases she could remember from Reese. "Nessie's still having issues sleeping, Sweet Tooth and Sushi's mouths hurts, Rocko has a concussion from target practice with Charles, Glider broke a wing, Ally's starting to get more tired than normal, and Pawpaw's been having stomach pains."
Their conversation halted when they saw Dr. Drake stop in front of them, panting heavily, and pointing his needle at their feet. Looking down, they saw their sick dinosaurs hugging their feet and trembling, even Tank. "Dr. Drake, maybe we should hold off on the flu shots." Max suggested to the vet. "They seem to be a little scared right now."
"What are they afraid of?" Dr. Drake asked, somehow oblivious to the obvious.
"Maybe it's the giant ass Death Needle you're using!" Tank yelled at him before sneezing heavily and almost feeling like throwing up.
"Ohh." Dr. Drake sighed in disappointment when he realized that his chances of using the needle were gone.
"Don't you have medicine they could just consume?" Rex asked.
"But I was really hoping to try this thing out. None of your other dinosaurs would let me anywhere near them. And it's my own special vaccine." Dr. Drake said in disappointment before trying again. "Just one little shot of this and you're cured."
"No!" The four dinos said before they all ran out the door of the office.
"Uh, wanna think about it?" Dr. Drake called out to them. The D-Team members that didn't run off just sighed in annoyance.
DK
At the D-Lab, Beta and Guru were talking with someone on the phone. "Yeah, your brother's not exactly popular with the rest of us. So I was wondering if you'd be able to try and help." Beta said to the man on the screen.
"I could try. You guys have organs, right?" The man asked them.
Guru and Beta paused as they looked at each other. "What does that have to do with-"
"I'll take that as a yes!" The man beamed before hanging up.
"Are you sure he'll be able to help us." Guru asked Beta was they went to help with the others. Due to their experiences, they were voted as unofficial leaders of the herd when the kids weren't there. As a result, it was their responsibility to try and find a way for everyone else to get better.
"I didn't spend twenty hours, or just two, learning how to use a phone, and trying to find the idiot just so Ace and the others could continue suffering!" Beta responded, starting to get angry.
"But he's never worked with dinosaurs before." Toro pointed out as he and Lola joined up with them. They were the only other dinosaurs that weren't sick. "How'd we know he won't just get himself or the others killed?"
"Technically, no one has worked with dinosaurs before." Lola pointed out. "It'd be a learning experience for everyone."
"Better than having another stampede when Dr. Drake pulls out the Death Needle." Beta said, the others nodding in agreement.
(Intro Theme)
The door to Brontikens' sleeping section lifted up and the Apatosaurus steeped out to the rest of their living quarters. In the center of the room, he saw Gigas laying on the floor, moaning in pain. Looking near the trough with the plants, he saw Maximus and Armatus doing the same. As Brontikens took a mouthful of food, Armatus weakly opened an eye to see their sauropod comrade. "Well, lookie here. The great and almighty Brontikens is just fine and dandy." He said, the bitterness in his voice unable to be missed, before sneezing right onto Maximus.
"Thanks. I wanted more mucus on my face." Maximus replied with the same amount of bitterness.
"Will you two shut up?" Gigas asked as he raised his head. "Some of us are busy writhing in pain."
"Well, that's your fault." Brontikens responded as he took a mouthful of plants. "Should've had a stronger immune system. And you should get one if you survive this." He said before walking away.
"Easy for you to say." Gigas shot back. "You're not the one sick here."
"The strong don't get sick." Brontikens responded.
"But they sure do lose a lot to those they claim to be weaker." Gigas added.
"Gigas, stop trying to get him mad when you're sick!" Maximus hissed, but the damage had been done.
Brontikens turned around and looked down at the Tyrannosaurus on the floor. "What was that?"
"I mean, you go on and on about how the strong survive and the weak die. But I know that you've lost a fair share of battles: Kenya, Ninja Village, Las Vegas, Rome, Australia, need I go on?"
"Mate, we're trying to not get killed." Armatus warned him. If he wasn't in so much pain he would be running out the door right now.
Gigas ignored him and continued. "And finally there's your whole giving up against the Ampelosaurus the other day. I mean, what the hell was that all about? He smacked you to the ground and used a Move Card and that's enough to get you to give up. I thought you said retreating was a sign of weakness?"
Brontikens continued glaring at him and looked like he was about to attack. "Ingrates. If it weren't for me you'd be just as intelligent as the Alpha Droids." He reminded them before turning around.
Giga sighed before continuing. "Dude, I'm sorry, but you need to get a reality check. This survival of the fittest personality isn't healthy for you."
Brontikens wasn't listening and was already walking out of the room. "Brontikens-" Maximus tried calling out to him.
"I AM PERFECTLY FINE!" The Apatosaurus roared before stomping his foot in front of them and leaving in a huff.
Once he was gone, there was an eerie silence in the room. "Nice job, stupid." Armatus scolded Gigas.
"What? Everyone's thinking it. The guy has something wrong with him." Gigas retorted.
"That still doesn't mean to go accusing your friend of being mentally ill." Maximus said.
"I never said he was mentally ill."
"But you were thinking and implying it." Maximus sneezed before collapsing her head on the floor. "Where's Helga with that damn cure?"
"Probably giving it to some poor idiots who she thinks are dinosaurs." Gigas responded.
DK
In his room, Dr.Z winded as the trio all rubbed his back. "So, do my poor dinosaurs still have the sniffles and sneezes?"
"All except Brontikens and the ones that Seth has." Ursula answered.
"Not to worry. Helga's making them a cure right now." Dr.Z assured them.
"What?" The trio gasped as they stopped the rubbing. "Oh, no, not a Helga cure." Ursula pleaded.
Right when she said that, the door to the room opened up to reveal Helga, causing the trio to panic. "Yes, that's right, und no germ can withstand my sauerkraut-und-chili broth." She said as she held up the boiling pot.
"That sounds fantastic!" Dr.Z beamed, oblivious to the obvious unstableness. "Make sure you leave enough for us!"
"I don't want any, Ursula." Ed whispered to her worryingly.
"Me neither, ever since she came back from Chinatown, Helga's cooking's been more like atomic waste." Zander added.
"You first." Helga said as she grabbed Ursula.
"But I'm not even sick." Ursula tried to reason with the emotionless robot.
But Helga didn't listen. "After a few snorts of this, you never will be again." She said before putting a spoonful of soup in her mouth. "Now drink up!"
Ursula swallowed and her whole face turned red, like when they tried the spicy food in India. "Not too bad, right?" Ed asked nervously. His answer was Ursula burping out fire. Seeing that it was even worse than they thought, the two men tried to run for it, but Helga got in their way and forced some down their throats as well.
Dr.Z's eyes widened in horror when he saw his bad the food was. "On second thought I think I'll pass." He said as Helga walked over to him. "I'm feeling better now, thanks anyway!" Laughed nervously, hoping Helga would listen. But she didn't and forced another spoonful down him, leading to another fire-belch.
"Oh, dear, that was the last of it." Helga said as she looked at the pot. "I'll go make some more." She said before leaving.
Dr.Z fell off of his bed once he was done with his belching of fire. "That stuff could peel the paint off a battleship." He said as he climbed back into his bed.
"We won't survive another dose of it." Zander almost cried.
"Then go and find us a real dinosaur doctor before she finishes us all off!" Dr.Z ordered them.
"Yes, Doctor!" The trio responded by quickly running out of the room, wanting a real doctor just as much as their boss.
DK
Quickly making their way to the computer room, the trio wasted no time in looking up possible vets online. "Do you really expect to find a listing for a dinosaur vet?" Zander asked them.
"Whatever. Any veterinarian will do as long as they don't scream like a little kid when they see a dinosaur." Ursula sighed.
"Hope I spelled it right." Ed said before he clicked search and a list of vets from around the world popped up. Ed scrolled through the list before coming across a possible candidate. "Ooh! What about this Dr. Drake?" He suggested before reading the profile. "'I specialize in large animals.'"
"Well, most dinosaurs would certainly be considered large." Zander pointed out.
"Perfect." Ursula beamed. "This is our dinosaur specialist, I can tell."
"And how do you figure that?" Ed asked her.
"I just know it. Now, bring him here quick." She told the short man.
"Who are you planning to bring here?"
The trio gasped as they turned around to see Seth. "The dinosaurs are all sick so we need a vet."
"And we need to get one quick before Helga's 'cures' kill us all." Ed added.
"I may be able to help you out with this." Seth told them, making the trio confused.
DK
The next morning, the day at the animal hospital started out as normal. Mrs. Drake took three animals: a dog, an ostrich, and a pig for a walk. In their room, Zoe and Paris were still sleeping in her bed while Spiny slept in one of the drawers. In her bathroom, Reese was currently blow-drying on her hair before going to work. "Stupid hair." She grumbled. "I don't have time for this." And finally, Dr. Drake was humming to himself while he brushed his teeth.
DK
As the Drake family went about their morning, Seth and the trio meet in the engine room to activate their plan. "The machine isn't fully tested yet." Seth told the trio. "But I have successfully transported some insects and small items." He said before placing an Alpha Scanner in a slot near him to power up the machine. "This will be the largest object we've tried." He said before typing in the coordinates. "Are you sure your coordinates are correct?"
"I locked right in on the vet himself." Ed responded.
"But what if he's moved between then and now?" Ursula asked.
Seth responded by simply looking back at them. "It won't matter because I'm bringing the entire house."
"The whole house!?" The trio repeated in shock.
With the press of a button, a bright multicolored light shined above the house before it descended down upon it. Mrs. Drake was just coming back home when the animals she was walking suddenly stopped. She looked and saw her house covered in rainbows. And when it disappeared, the house was completely gone.
From their room, Spiny yawned as he hopped off the drawers to start his day. Walking out to the balcony, he saw that the sky had been replaced with rainbows. "Oh, boy. Was Dr. Drake using his needles on me last night?" He wondered before the lights disappeared to show them on a beach. "Something seems different here." He walked over to the bed and hopped on before shaking Zoe with his foot. "Uh, Zoe? You and Paris might want to see this."
Both girls groaned as they started to get up. "Okay, okay, Spiny, we're getting up." Zoe said as she rubbed her eyes and sat up.
"Mmm, why so pushy?" Paris asked as she did the same.
Zoe heard the sounds coming from outside and sighed. "It's so nice hearing the sound of the ocean waves when you wake up." She smiled before the realization hit her hard and she gasped. "Wait! What ocean waves?!" Quickly running onto her balcony, she saw that they were no longer in Sanjo City. "How in the world did we get onto this island?!"
Before they could continue on questioning what happened, a large group of Alpha Droids appeared at the front door. "Enter. Enter. Enter." They repeated.
Reese heard the commotion and looked out her window to see the Droids break down the door. "What's going on here?"
The Droids continued on searching into a they located Dr. Drake. "What're these things doing in my house?!" He exclaimed before the Droids swept him off his feet. "Ooh!"
As the Alpha Droids rounded up the house's inhabitants, the Alpha Gang waited outside for them to return. "Well, I have to hand it to Seth this time." Ursula said. "We wanted a vet, and he brought one."
"And the vet's office, home, and family." Zander added as Dr. Drake and Reese were carried out.
"What's going on here?!" Dr. Drake struggled against his captors. "Who are you?! Where am I, and what have you done with my mailbox?!"
"You're the dinosaur veterinarian, right?" D.R.O.I.D asked as he dropped him at the trio's feet.
This confused both Dr. Drake and Reese. "I'm a vet." Dr. Drake answered as he got back up and dusted himself off.
"Yes, and that will have to do." Ursula said. "Our dinosaurs have the flu, so cure them."
"Well, why didn't you just say so?" Dr. Drake replied with a smile. "I've got a dino flu shot already loaded up and ready to go!"
"That's great!" Ed beamed. "Looks like we captured just the right guy!"
"Uh-huh." Brontikens agreed, though not sounding convinced.
From their balcony, Zoe and her dinos watched as Dr. Drake talked with the Alpha Gang. "Why is Dad agreeing to help these people?" Zoe wondered.
Reese was wondering the same thing. "Dad, hold on!"
"As a veterinarian, Reese, it's my duty to help sick animals no matter what kind, or how they were brought to me. Or me to them." Dr. Drake told her. "But the best part of it all... I get to use my Mega Needle!" He cheered, laughing happily as tears of ioy escaped his eyes.
Reese sighed as she knew their was no convincing him otherwise. She looked up and gasped when she saw Zoe and the others looking down from the balcony, waving to let her know they were all right. She nervously gestured for them to get down, something that Zander noticed. "Hello." Reese nervously said as he approached her closely.
"Just what are you up to, little Miss sneaky-sneak?" He asked before he took off her glasses.
"Hey!" Reese shouted before opening her eyes at Zander.
Immediately Zander gasped in surprised when he saw who she really was. "Aah! You again! Ooh!" He then started to get so flustered he could barely stand, waving around like a kite.
"What'd you mean?" Reese asked in confusion. "Do I know you?"
Zander responded by taking her hands. "I knew I'd see you again someday, my angel."
"Huh?" This just made Reese even more confused.
"You and I are bound together by the steel chains of love!" Zander said.
"That doesn't sound very comfortable." Reese told him.
While this happened, Paris looked around, making sure she wasn't being watched before leaping off the balcony. She had some questions for a certain Apatosaurus.
DK
At the D-Lab, a truck drove away after dropping off something the D-Team ordered from Russia. "It finally got here from Russia." Max said as he and the other members that weren't sick looked down at the crate as Spike opened it up. "Wait 'till you see this thing, Dad."
The crate opened up to reveal to be the android. "Wow, that's one realistic-looking robot." Spike commented before he tried to grab it out of the crate.
When he did, it caused static to fly everywhere as everyone covered their eyes. When it died down, the android opened his eyes. "Tickets please, folks." He said, clearly malfunctioning. "I must see your tic-tickets." Before shutting off again.
"I wonder who made this android, and why?" Rex asked.
"I'll betcha anything it was the Alpha Gang." Max said.
"No." Guru told them. "The Alpha Gang had nothing to do with his creation."
"Then who did?" Beta asked.
"I'm afraid I'll need him to help me explain all that." Guru responded.
"And just when you thought we'd get answers, we're still getting denied." Tank grumbled before sneezing. "Achoo!" She and the other three chibi dinos were resting in doggy beds while the non-sick ones took care of the android.
"I'll call Reese." Spike said. "She'll be able to fix him up."
Max nodded before turning his attention to his sick partners. "Aw, guys, I guess that medicine you drank didn't help at all."
"Max, I mean no disrespect to Dr. Drake, but we need a new doctor." Rex told him.
"I know, but where would we find someone that can work with dinosaurs?" Max wondered. "Dr. Drake's the only vet in town."
"Did somebody say new doctor?!" Someone asked as the doors slammed open. Everyone looked at the entrance to the lab and saw a chubby brunette with a mustache and a goatee wearing a doctor's uniform and carrying a briefcase "Doctor Tokugawa's in the house!" He declared.
"Mr. Tokugawa?!" Max and Rex repeated before Max asked. "What're you doing here?"
"Heard you had some friends that were pretty under the weather." Tokugawa explained as he put down his brief case and opened it up, causing a mini doctors office to pop out.
"Me and Guru personally asked him to come when we saw that Dr. Drake wasn't working well enough." Beta explained. "Surprised he's already familiar with dinosaurs.
"Well, my brother wasn't exactly the best at keeping secrets." Tokugawa explained as he checked his equipment. "Asked him what the deal was with his Mega Needle, gives me an hours long explanation about the dinosaurs."
"Not that we don't appreciate the help, but are you sure you're up for this?" Rex asked him. "You're a human doctor last time I checked."
"True, but there's a motto in the family business." Tokugawa responded before pulling out a flag and playing an anthem music. "It is our duty to help the sick, no matter what kind, or how we found them!" He said proudly before putting the stuff away. "Any more questions?"
"Just one. Why are you named after a Japanese war general?" Toro asked.
"Oh, that's not my real time. It's a nickname I've gained since I apparently look like the guy." He held up a painting of the real Tokugawa to prove his point. "See what I mean?" He said before tossing the picture away and focusing back to his mini-office. "Now, we're going to do this in a perfectly, orderly fashion. Children come up first, and then the adults fight over who goes next."
"I'll go get Pawpaw." Guru said before walking off to retrieve the Pawpawsauruus. Being the oldest and wisest of the herd, despite only just arriving, it was decided he above all others should be Pawpaw's official guardian.
It was then that Spike's phone started to go off. "Doctor Spike Taylor here." Spike answered. "Oh, hello, Mrs. Drake, what a- whaa! What'd you mean it's gone!" Spike's surprise gasp shocked everyone.
DK
Confused murmuring filled the air at the scene of the disappearance. Tape shrouded the area the house used to be as detectives and police searched for any clues. Max and Rex rode their bikes and saw that what Spike has told them was true. "No way!" Max gasped.
"How could their whole house just disappear?" Rex asked.
"That's what we'd all like to know." A detective said as she walked over to Mrs. Drake. She had really long black hair, her back hair going down to her waist while her bangs were at her chest, and had what looked like a really large, yellow ribbon on the back of her head. Her skin was also very pale. "Ma'am, I'm going to need to ask you how exactly the house disappeared?" She asked as she pulled out a notebook.
"Well, all I know is that there was this bright multicolored light that was engulfing my house before is disappeared and my house went with it." Mrs. Drake explained.
"Multicolored light?" The detective repeated, her interest getting peaked. "And when it disappeared the house was gone?" Mrs. Drake nodded in confirmation. "Damn it." The detective grit her teeth. "Just when I thought they couldn't screw things up more."
"I know." Rex whispered to Max. "I'll get Zoe on the Dino Holder." He said as he tried calling her. But all he got was static as a result. "Nothing, no signal at all." Rex said in disappointment.
"Go somewhere with better reception!" Max urged him.
"Max, the Dino Holders aren't phones." Rex reminded him. "Wherever she is, something's blocking our communication."
DK
Back at the D-Lab, Tokugawa had a stethoscope on Pawpaw's stomach as he listened for what might possibly be causing the little guy so much pain. "Okay, I think I've figured it out." He said as he removed the stethoscope and went to one of his drawers. "You seem to be having problems with something you ate. Tell me, kid, what have you eaten recently?"
"Well, I had some leaves, some grass, pineapple-"
"Uh-huh." The doctor nodded as he wrote this down. "And are any of those something you don't eat often? Because I think you might be having an allergic reaction to something you ate."
"Allergic reaction?" Pawpaw repeated.
"It means you ate something that your body doesn't like." Guru explained as he comforted the Pawpawsaurus.
"Exactly. I'll have to look at your diet to see what was the cause of it so this doesn't happen again. Thankfully for you, I have something that should help with digestion. But it is going to have to involve you getting a shot." He said before searching for the right needle.
"What?!" Pawpaw's eyes widened in horror. "No, no! Please! I don't want to die!" If he wasn't in so much pain from his stomach he would've ran away as fast as his legs could carry him, but instead he just flailed his legs and thrashed his tail around.
From outside the mini-office, the other dinosaurs could hear Pawpaw's screams of terror. "I thought you said he'd be helping us!" Diamond yelled at Beta before coughing.
"And he is!" Beta responded, though not sounding completely sure.
"Relax, kid. It's nowhere near as bad as you'd think." Tokugawa turned around to reveal a regular sized needle in his hands, not even a quarter the size of Dr. Drake's. "Now, this'll only hurt for a second." He walked over to the flailing dinosaur, careful to avoid the tail, and quickly jabbed the needle in him and injected the vaccine before pulling it out and putting on a bandage. "All done."
"What?" Pawpaw said as he stopped flailing, having barely felt anything aside from a small pinch.
"I gave you your shot. The medicine should take about a half hour to kick in." Tokugawa explained. "And since you're such a brave kid, here's a lollipop." He said as he handed the kid a piece of candy. "You like apples?"
"I love apples!" Pawpaw beamed as he grabbed the candy in his mouth and started walking away, a little bounce in his step as he did so.
The other dinosaurs were shocked to see the little guy go from in massive pain back to his puppy dog-like self in minutes. "Told you he's perfect." Beta smirked as best an Acrocanthosaurus could at everyone else's expressions, feeling quite smug at being proven right.
"Next!" Tokugawa called out.
DK
The reason for this blockage was due to Zeta Point's forcefield that keeps the D-Team from constantly invading their island.
As that was going on, Dr. Drake made his way to Dr.Z's bedroom, where the dinosaurs were currently located. The minute he entered the room and pulled out his needle, all hell broke lose. "NOOOOOO!" Gigas screamed before he and the other dinosaurs leapt into Brontikens.
That may not seem like a problem, but he was in his chibi-form at the time. "Get off me!" He hissed, clearly feeling his back breaking and his legs about to give.
The dinosaurs obliged, mostly to get away from the advancing doctor, and started getting chased by the vet around the room. "Don't just stand there gawking!" Dr.Z yelled at Ursula and Ed. "Help him with the dinosaurs!"
"All right." Ursula and Ed sighed as they pulled out some weapons to help with catching them.
"Retreat!" Gigas yelled before he and Maximus bolted out of the room, creating a massive hole where the door's supposed to be.
Armatus was about to do the same, but was stopped when Helga grabbed his tail. "No, no! Let go, please!" He begged.
"Ah, now you may feel just a little bitty pinch." Dr. Drake said before he injected the needle into the Stegosaurus. Unlike with Pawpaw, Armatus' reaction was completely justified as he screamed loudly in pain. Dr. Drake ignored the screams and just sighed in happiness as he was finally able to use his Mega Needle. "That wasn't so bad! You'll feel better in no time!"
"You're a monster!" Armatus cried, making Ursula and Ed now scared of this man.
Brontikens rolled his eyes and walked out of the room. He had better things to do than watch his pathetic teammates cry over a tiny shot. He's been injected with needles that make that one look like a toy you buy for kids. "Finally found you." Brontikens stopped and turned around and saw himself face-to-face with Paris.
"What're you doing here?" Brontikens asked, not showing any signs of surprise, but still surprised nonetheless.
"You brought me here when teleported our house to your island." Paris explained.
"So the fat man's Zoe's father? Hard to see the family resemblance." Brontikens replied sarcastically. "Why are you even here? If I were you, I'd hide until someone stronger came to help." He said before walking away.
"I've been having questions ever since our battle in Siberia." Paris told him, making Brontikens stop in his tracks. "I just want to talk."
"What kind of questions?" Brontikens asked as he turned around.
DK
On the beach, Zander and Reese were walking along the shore while Zander was playing a familiar tune. "Oh, my angel! I love my dinosaur! But when I look into your eyes, I think I love you more!"
Reese listened to the song, and while it was endearing, it was also familiar. She remembered back to Mexico when she recalled a similar looking man singing the exact same song. "I know that song!" She gasped at the realization.
"Be my Jurassic valentine!" Zander continued singing.
"You're that man, from the desert in Mexico." Reese realized.
"Yes, I am, I knew you'd remember!" Zander said in delight. "My name is Zander and I'm at your service." He bowed.
"But I also remember that you're one of the Alpha Gang." Reese told him.
"Aah!" Zander exclaimed as he realized this complicated things. "Well, it's complicated. I needed a job and my dad would've kicked me out and..."
"How did you managed to get our whole house in this island, Zander?" Reese asked him. "I can't figure it out!"
"Me? Well, I, um..." Zander suffered as he tried to find the right words so he wouldn't blow a second chance with Reese, but also not get in trouble with Dr.Z. He eventually decided to stretch the truth a little. "Oh, it was just a simple teleporter that I, uh... built." He answered.
"Huh?"
"Don't forget this is the Alpha Gang we're talking about here. Our technology is first-rate. We're not some flimsy fly-by-night organization-"
"I'd love to see the teleporter." Reese suddenly told him.
"Oh, no, that's completely impossible." Zander told her.
"Oh, please, Zander, for me?" Reese put on the puppy-dog eyes, hoping that would break him.
"Uh... since you put it that way, what choice to I have?" Zander responded. "I suppose I can sneak you in there for just a minute." He then got serious. "But this has to be our secret, understand? You probably already know that some of us aren't exactly the most welcoming of strangers."
"Thank you." Reese said. "But there is one other thing I'm wondering."
"What?"
"Well, if it wouldn't be too much to ask, do you think I could change out of my pajamas first?" Reese requested. "I feel a little silly."
Zander gave out a crazed gasp. "Of course, my dear! Whatever you need!"
Back in the house, Zoe was trying to contact the others for help, but she was getting static as well. "My Dino Holder won't pick up anything." She said to Spiny.
"Maybe it needs a battery change?" Spiny suggested.
The door to the room opened and the two of them tensed before Reese came in. "Oh, hi, Reese." Zoe greeted her sister, relaxing at seeing a friendly face, if she could call her sister friendly.
"You two were smart to hide from them." Reese told the two.
"Yeah, we hid under the bed when we realized where we were." Zoe explained. "But I can't get a hold of the D-Lab. Something's wrong."
"And, on top of that, Paris is missing." Spiny added. "All we got was a note saying 'don't worry about me'. Which means we're worrying about her."
"There's a jamming device here on the island." Reese told them. "But don't worry, I'll take care of that and look for Paris."
DK
On another part of the island, Ursula and Ed were holding Maximus back with chains and bullhooks. "Let me pass!" Maximus urged as she tried to get around the hooks and brake off the chains. "I'm not dying today!"
"Just hold still!" Ed told her as he swung his bullhook around.
"Hurry with that needle!" Ursula said as she held onto the chains that were attached to a tree.
"Okay, here it comes!" Dr. Drake said as he aimed the needle at Maximus.
But before he could make the injection, Helga grabbed Ursula and moved her so her butt was in the path of the needle, which is what got injected again. Everyone else let out a surprise gasp as Dr. Drake quickly pulled out the needle. But the damage was still done as Ursula let out a painful squeal before running away, covering her throbbing butt in the process and yelping in pain. "Ow, ow, ow, ow!"
"Und you're next." Helga said as she grabbed Ed.
"Hey, I'm not a dinosaur!" Ed told her as he struggled. "I'm not even sick!"
Dr. Drake took this time to sneak up on Maximus, who was still shocked by Ursula's accident, and jabbed the needle into the Triceratops, making her scream and him sigh in happiness. "Aaaah! Why, God?! Why?!" She cried.
"Well, my Mega Needle is a huge success." Dr. Drake said proudly, once again oblivious to the pain he caused. "You can just call me Mr. Big Shot."
"How about Mr. Impaled." Maximus hissed, still crying in pain.
DK
Paris and Brontikens were currently walking along the beach. Both were a couple feet apart from each other, and both didn't say a word.
They continued on walking until Paris noticed the sand bulging in front of her. Getting a closer look, she saw the head of a baby sea turtle pop out. "Hey, little guy." She said to the newborn reptile. The baby turtle looked at her for a bit before it continued on trying to climb out of the sand. Eventually, it managed to completely escape the sand and began making its way to the ocean.
Paris looked around and saw turtles popping up all around her and making their way to the sea. But one baby was stuck on its back and was completely helpless. Paris walked over to the little turtle and flipped it onto its stomach, allowing it to continue to journey. "Why did you do that?" Brontikens asked her, finally breaking the silence.
"What'd you mean?" Paris was confused by the question.
"That turtle, why did you help it?"
"What was I supposed to do, let it die?"
"Yes." Brontikens quickly responded. "There's no room in the world for weakness. You should've let that baby accept its fate. That's what would've happened if you weren't there."
"But I was there. The least I could've done was help it." Paris glared at Brontikens. "Why is it that you're so against someone helping another?"
"Getting help is a sign of weakness, and weakness kills." Brontikens told her.
"As far as I know, there's nothing shameful about accepting help from someone." Paris retorted. "But I guess villains don't get help, do they?"
Brontikens responded by tackling her to the ground and placing a foot on her throat, almost choking her. "Who are you to go making such accusations about me?! You think I'm just as heartless as the rest of them, don't you?! You know nothing about me and what I've been through!"
Paris growled before she threw him off of her. "You're right, I don't! I know nothing about you, none of us do! So why don't you tell me? Tell me what you want me to know so badly!"
"Gladly!" Brontikens hissed.

"This machine is incredible Zander." Reese said as she looked at the engine to the time machine. She didn't think there was anything in the world like this. "I've never seen anything like it! Did you really design this all by yourself?"
"Uh, I had some help, of course." Zander shamefully admitted, translating to he had nothing to do with building it for those of you who can't translate lies.
Reese looked around before noticing some devices near the engine. "Hm, what's that?"
"That's our global communicator." Zander answered. "But it's not working right now because we have a device jamming all transmissions on the island. Keeps certain people from constantly invading us, if you get what I mean."
"And what's that over there?" Reese pointed to a pin-like object on one of the parts of the communicator.
"That's what's doing the jamming." Zander replied before turning his attention to the center of the room. "And here it is! This is the teleporter you wanted to see. It's a marvel of simplicity, really." Reese wasn't listening and was quietly creeping over to the jamming device. "You just enter the latitude and longitude into the keypad here, and the computer calculates all the necessary equations to make sure whatever you're teleporting gets there in one piece."
Reese pulled out the jamming device and the jamming ceased. "Zoe should be able call the others now." She thought before moving her planning to how to get the house back home.

"What about this one." Tokugawa asked Sweet Tooth as he tapped one of her teeth.
"Uh-uh." Sweet Tooth said in reply before the doctor went in her mouth deeper. "Are you sure this is safe?"
"Hey, you can't be a doctor without losing a few limbs." Tokugawa replies before trying another tooth.
"I'm pretty sure no one's ever said that." Spike said as he watched the doctor at work. The doors to the lab opened and Max and Rex ran back inside. "So, what'd you find?" Spike frantically asked them.
"It's true, their whole house disappeared!" Max told them.
"What?!" Tokugawa gasped as he accidentally tapped another tooth a lot harder than he should have, and accidentally caused it to fall out. The pain caused Sweet Tooth to accidentally close her mouth. "Aaah!" The doctor screamed as he clearly felt her bite his legs.
"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" Sweet Tooth apologized before she spit Tokugawa out.
"Well, that's one way to remove a tooth." He said before he took off the protection he had on his legs that prevented them from getting ripped off and moving to the next patient. Though the bite still did hurt.
"Yeah, along with Dr. Drake, Reese, Zoe, Spiny, Paris, and everything else!" Rex added.
"If I wasn't so sick, I'd celebrate Spiny's disappearance." Tank weakly said.
"They took Paris?!" Chomp said in shock. "I have to help her!" He tried to get up, but coughed heavily and fell back into bed.
"Bro, we're sick." Terry reminded him. "We can't even help ourselves."
"We wouldn't still be sick if someone would just cure us already!" Tank yelled at Tokugawa, who was currently stitching Glider's wing.
"Oh, so because you go on missions you think you're better than everyone." Tokugawa said mockingly to the Saichania. "It's not all about you! Wait your turn like everyone else."
Before the argument could continue, Max's Dino Holder started to go off. Max quickly pulled it out and saw Zoe on the other side. "You guys!" Zoe said from the other side, now in her regular outfit.
"Zoe!" Max exclaimed.
"I'm so glad I got a hold of you!" Zoe sighed in relief.
"Where are you?" Max asked her. "Did you know your house is gone?"
"Yes, I'm in it!" Zoe said in an 'Uh-duh' tone. "And somehow we're on the Alpha Gang's island!"
"What?!" Everyone gasped.
"Reese is here too, and she's working on some kind of plan to get us back, but I don't know how to help." Zoe explained.
"Listen, Zoe." Rex told her.
"Yeah?"
"Summon Paris and Spiny to their full-sizes. That should set off the dinosaur detector and we can come help you." Rex explained his plan.
"There's a problem with that." Spiny said. "Paris isn't here."
"What?!" Chomp quickly got up. "Where is she?!"
"We don't know. All we know is that she's somewhere on the island, hopefully away from the Alpha Gang." Zoe answered. "We'll go find her once you guys get here." She said before hanging up.
When she did, Rod and Laura appeared right at her front door. "What's your house doing here on our beach?" Laura asked before Zoe and Spiny bolted out the door, locking it behind themselves so the kids couldn't get in and steal anything. Not that they had anything they'd want anyway, but Zoe obviously was cautious with those two.
"We don't have time to mess with you guys, we're a little busy!" Zoe told them as she ran to a place she could summon Spiny, leaving the siblings confused as to what was going on before silently shrugging and decided to head back inside to study. That is assuming Helga didn't mess up their computers again.
At the lab, Max and Rex were waiting for the signal. "Come on, come on." Max said impatiently.
"Max, it's been five seconds." Rex told him. "In any rate, we need to decide how we're going to attack. Remember what happened the last time we were there?"
"You don't need to remind me." Max said, remembering their near death experiences on Zeta Point all to well. "What're you suggesting we do this time?"
"You and me will each bring a dinosaur, and we'll call for more in case things get ugly." Rex explained.
"We'll go with you." Toro volunteered himself and Lola.
"I have been wanting to fight that wannabe Stego again." Lola said as she smacked her tail on the ground to make a point.
"Perfect." Max said as he gave them a thumbs up.
DK
Back at Zeta Point, Ursula and Ed were lying on a fallen tree, waiting for the pain from their accidental shots to pass. "That was a real pain in the butt." Ursula groaned.
"I'll never be able to ride a bicycle again." Ed said both sadly and in pain, having the needle injected into him when Helga snatched it from Dr. Drake for a second.
"Old lady?" Spiny asked as he and Zoe came across them.
"Huh?" The two of them opened their eyes and saw Spiny and Zoe in front of them. "Stop calling me that!" Ursula yelled at them. "And anyway, what're you doing here?! Are you on vacation or something?"
"They must've been in the house." Ed realized. "And that quack of a doctor's her dad!"
"Hey! Don't you dare call my dad a quack!" Zoe yelled at them before recalling Spiny.
"DINO SLASH! GUSH OUT, SPINOSAURUS!"
"So, you wanna fight!?" Ursula smirked as she pulled out an Alpha Scanner.
"ALPHA SLASH! GO, STEGOSAURUS! CLOBBER 'EM!"
Armatus appeared and immediately tackled Spiny into the water. "Spiny, no!" Zoe cried.
"Don't worry! I'm in my element!" Spiny assured her before diving into the deeper water.
Zoe got what he meant and swiped a Move Card. Before Armatus could ask where he went, he saw geysers appear out of the water before a large tidal wave appeared behind Spiny as he slid towards him and meet him in a collision that sent him flying. "Ultimate Water." Zoe smirked.
DK
It didn't take long for the signal to reach the D-Lab. "There it is! Let's go, Rex!" Max said as they recalled both of their dinos and went to the teleporter. "See ya, Dad!"
"Be careful, boys!" Spike warned them as they teleported away.
DK
Back in the engine room, Reese was trying to see if she could figure out the teleporter, but she was unable to get anything to happen. "Why isn't it working?" She asked Zander.
"That's because there's no power connected to it." Zander told her. "One of our Alpha Scanners has to be plugged in before anything can be teleported."
"Oh." Reese then had an idea on how to get back without having to attempt to take one of the scanners. "I wonder if the stones in one of our Dino Holders would work the same way."
DK
Back with the fight, Max and Rex had just arrived. "Max! Rex!" Zoe said in relief.
"Oh joy, the other two brats." Ursula said sarcastically. "Ed, get rid of these trespassers!"
"Me?" Ed repeated before getting his own dinosaur out.
"ALPHA SLASH! STRIKE 'EM OUT, TRICERATOPS!"
"Let's go!" Max said as he and Rex pulled out their cards.
"DINO SLASH!"
"GO, TOROSAURUS!"
"GO, STEGOSAURUS!"
Lola and Toro wasted no time in getting in on the action. Lola smacked Armatus away with her tail while Toro and Maximus met in a headlock, with Spiny biting on the Triceratops' back.
As they fought, Reese was able to find them, with Zander following. "Hey, when did these other brats arrive!?" Zander asked when he noticed the battle.
Reese didn't answer and ran to Zoe. "I figured it out, Zoe." She told her sister. "I think there's a way we can teleport the house back home."
"Really?" Zoe said in response.
"But we need your Dino Holder for power so you'll have to leave the battle." Reese told her. "I don't think we can plug in one of your stones without the risk of losing it."
"But I can't leave!" Zoe told her.
"It's all right, Zoe." Max assured her with a thumbs up. "We can take care of these two."
"If you're sure." Zoe said before recalling Spiny.
"You ready?" Reese asked her.
"Yeah." Zoe responded before they both went back to the engine room.
DK
Brontikens paced back and forth while Paris laid down and waited for him to begin. "I suppose the best place to start is the beginning."
A nest of eggs laid under the hot Jurassic sun. Most of the eggs had already hatched into newborn Apatosaurus chicks, all except one.
"It may surprise you, but I used to be a runt; the weakling of my herd."
The lone egg started to crack before the head of a newborn Brontikens finally popped out. The rest of the egg cracked as the newborn was able to finally get out of the egg and begin to walk.
"Compared to my siblings, I was very tiny. Malnourished, as some might say."
The baby Brontikens continued on walking until he tripped over a small pebble. He fell to the ground and started crying as he struggled to get up.
"Many believed that I wouldn't last. But there was one who had faith in me."
Another Apatosaurus gently picked up Brontikens and put him back on his feet. The little sauropod looked up and saw a face he instinctively knew.
"My mother."
A few years later, and a herd of Jurassic dinosaurs were shown feasting on plants and game in a small oasis.
"You might not know this, but the Jurassic was a time very different from the Cretaceous. While you lived in paradise, most of us lived in endless desert. And even though I was lucky to spend my first five years in an oasis, the desert started to claim that was well."
The herd leader, a male Allosaurus, looked over the oasis on a small hill with other herd members. "Our home is starting to get smaller." A Stegosaurus pointed out.
"I've noticed." The leader said, looking over what was left of their oasis home: barely any plants and no game aside from the fish in the dwindling pond. "We've already had to lower the amount we drink in order to preserve the amount of water we have, but I fear that it won't last."
"Leader." A Shunosaurus spoke up. "I hate to have to be the one to suggest it, but I believe that it is time for us to move on."
"No! We can't!" Brontikens' mother exclaimed. "My children are too young to handle such a long journey! They'd surely die!"
"And the rest of us would follow if we stay here!" A Ceratosaurus sternly reminded her.
"Enough!" The leader yelled at them both before turning to the Shunosaurus. "You are correct, this place will become barren before the next full moon. We have only one option to ensure our survival, we must head to the North."
"The northern parts of the world were the only parts that weren't affected by the desert. It was a safe haven for any dinosaur that lived there. But getting there was the challenge."
The herd walked across the vast desert, the sun burning down on them all. Everyone panted heavily as they continued on walking.
"It was a long and painful journey. We followed the stars at night, and prayed we didn't go off course at day. We barely rested, only when there was food or water nearby."
A young Brontikens struggled as he tried to keep up with the rest of the herd. His short legs made it hard for him to climb the large dunes and walk in the sand.
"I would've most definitely have died if it wasn't for my mother."
Brontikens' mother picked up her youngest child and placed him on her back.
"She let me ride on her back with the rest of my family most of the time, and would always be at the rear, helping anyone else who started to fall behind."
The Apatosaurus mother noticed a Piatnitzkysaurus lying on the ground and gently nudged it, allowing the small theropod to get back on its feet and rejoin the herd.
"Your mother sounds like an amazing person." Paris said.
"She was to the untrained eye. But she and the rest of my family were about to pay the price for her kindness."
A huge sandstorm engulfed the herd as they struggled to move. "Hang on!" The leader called out to those in the back. "It can't last forever!"
Brontikens was currently standing under his mother with the rest of his siblings as she blocked out most of the sand from covering them. Brontikens' mother looked down and saw her youngest child coughing constantly from all the sand. "Leader, we have to stop!"
"No! If we stop we'll all be swallowed by the sand!" The leader retorted.
"Unfortunately for us, we were right in the middle of an ambush."
"An ambush?" Paris repeated. "But what could possibly ambush such a large herd?"
"Due to the lack of food, a number of carnivores had broken the law and started attacking and killing fellow dinosaurs for food."
Through the thickness of the sandstorm, six eyes shined through. The leader looked forward and saw that their were three other dinosaurs in front of them. "Hello! Do you need help?!" He called out to them. That was the signal they were waiting for. Out of the sand came a Piatnitzkysaurus and a Yangchuanosaurus, both being lead by a Torvosaurus. "Savages!" The leader cried out before he was head butted by the Torvosaurus to silence him.
The rest of the herd still got the message and started to panic. They all started running around in different directions, except for Brontikens' mother, who stood her ground in an effort to protect her children.
But Brontikens knew what the leader meant by savages and panicked as well. "We've got to get out of here!" He told his siblings before they all started to run away.
"Children, come back!" Their mother called out to them.
The young sauropods continued on running until they were stopped by the feet of the Yangchuanosaurus and the Piatnitzkysaurus. "Looks like we have ourselves some snacks." The Piatnitzkysaurus said as he hungrily eyed the baby sauropods.
"We don't need snacks, we need a meal!" The Yangchuanosaurus reminded her partner. "Those kids would barely last us a day!"
"That's long enough for me!" The Piatnitzkysaurus grabbed one of the young sauropods with his long arms and swallowed it whole.
The Yangchuanosaurus sighed in defeat. "Well, the boss says not to let food go to waste." She said before grabbing three more in her mouth and swallowing them as well.
Brontikens looked on in horror as his siblings were eaten right before his eyes. "And now for you." The Piatnitzkysaurus said before he reached out to grab Brontikens.
The little sauropod cowered in fear as it looked like it was all over for him. But before he could be picked up, a tail swung and the two and knocked them away. "Get out of here!" His mother yelled at the duo of carnivores.
The two carnivores got back up and looked at their attacker. "Now that's a proper meal." The Yangchuanosaurus said.
"You two did well in spooking the herd away." The Torvosaurus said as he joined up with his friends. "This one should keep us full for a while." He said before all three of them charged at her.
Brontikens' mother saw them attack her and quickly nudged her son away before the three of them leapt at her and each grabbed onto different parts of the body: the Piatnitzkysaurus started biting and scratching her chest, the Yangchuanosaurus bit onto the back of her neck, and the Torvosaurus started tearing at her throat. It was all too much for the Apatosaurus to handle. She gave out a loud roar of pain before she fell to the ground.
The Torvosaurus put a foot on her chest and felt it. "She's dead." He said before he began feasting on her corpse with his friends.
"MOMMY!" Brontikens cried.
"I was eventually able to find the rest of my herd, but I never said anything to them and kept my distance, so they might not have even noticed I was there. At first I blamed myself for my mother's demise, believing that if I hadn't run off she wouldn't have needed to find us and fall into the carnivores' trap.
But that's when it started to dawn on me, why did she save us? If she were smarter she would've ran and left us to die, then she'd still be alive. With that knowledge, I started cutting ties with my emotions, refusing to let them control me anymore. I also noted how I needed to get stronger."
A Saurophaganax gave out a loud roar before it fell to the ground and died. Around it, many other dinosaurs in the herd did the same, including the leader.
"They all relied on my mother's kindness too much. With her gone, they had no one to rely on when they couldn't take it any more. They had no one able to carry them the rest of the way. Eventually, I was all that was left of the herd and had finally reached the north."
A teenage Brontikens collapsed in the shade of the trees as he drank from a small pound. He was going to get his necessary fill before moving to find a place to call home. This lying down was making him look pathetically week.
He slowly got up before he heard something in the distance. "Stupid Ancient." A voice grumbled. "Telling me what to do just because he's popular."
The Apatosaurus walked towards the grumbling voice and saw Dr.Z sitting on a rock.
"Wait, Dr.Z?!" Paris said in surprise. "What was he doing in the Jurassic?"
"He came in a time machine with some other humans." Brontikens explained. "How do you think we all became cards?" He asked before resuming.
Brontikens didn't know what the man was and decided to ignore him. But as he walked away, he felt something cold bite onto his side and immediately began to feel drowsy. Before he could even wonder what had happened to him, he collapsed and fell asleep. This was due to Dr.Z shooting him with a tranquilizer. The doctor walked over to the Apatosaurus and grinned. "Well, if Ancient's not gonna let me have his kingdom, I'll just have to start making my own."
"He took me aboard this ship and went somewhere in the future were he began working on me."
Brontikens was injected with tons of needles at once with many tubes sending fluids inside of him as well.
"You've noticed that all the Secret Dinosaurs have some special power: the Pachycephalosaur's bright head, the Therizinosaur's claws, the Deinonychus and their ninja skills. My special power was strength."
A now adult Brontikens charged forward and smashed a whole boulder into tiny pieces.
"Whatever Dr.Z did gave me the power of ten Apatosaurs; making me the strongest of all dinosaurs."
Brontikens reared up before slamming his foot down on the head of a Tyrannosaurus that would later be named Terry, carding him on impact before roaring in victory.
"He eventually joined back up with the other humans and put me in many battles with other dinosaurs. Every single one I came out victorious. And he gave me the name Brontikens." He finished.
"I'm so sorry you had all that happen to you." Paris apologized as she went over to comfort him.
Brontikens responded by moving away. "I saw the truth. I knew with my new strength I could help get dinosaurs back the throne we rightfully deserve. So I trained myself everyday for when the time would come. You may think your human friends see you as equals, and maybe they do, but all the other humans will treat us no different than other animals. Possibly even worse."
"So your plan is to take over the world and kill all humans?" Paris asked, alarmed by the implication.
"Of course not!" Brontikens told her. "I'm not a tyrant like Dr.Z. The humans would all be spared and allowed to live their lives with barely any difference. But they would have less rights than dinosaurs. They do stuff like that to their own kind, so this would just be karma." He said before he started to leave. "You should join back up with your friends. They might need help. Hopefully I answered all your questions." He then disappeared into the jungle.
DK
"And whenever I close my eyes, I can still see that ugly face." Nessie explained to Tokugawa, recapping her encounter with Lady Nessie.
Tokugawa wrote this stuff down in a notebook. "And is that why you talk like a goth chick?"
Nessie shook her head. "No, I've always talked like this."
"Okay. Well, I have the perfect way for you to be cured of this nightmare. Whenever you see that old lady again."
"I'm not an old lady!" Ursula suddenly shouted at nothing, though no-one at the lab obviously heard her.
"All you need to do is hit her! Hit her with all your might! And you shall be free forever!" The doctor told her, almost sounding psychotic.
"That sounds like a great idea." Nessie agreed.
"You know what also sounds like a great idea? Curing us!" Tank yelled.
"Until you're next on the list I can't help you." Tokugawa said before looking at his next patient.
"Stupid fool." Tank muttered under her breath.
"I heard that!"
DK
Deciding to switch opponents, Toro tackled Armatus away while Lola smacked Maximus on the face with her tail.
While all that was going on, Dr. Drake was out hunting for Gigas. "Gigas! Come out, come out wherever you are!" He called out for the Tyrannosaurus. "Everyone's gotten their shot except for you, so come on out now!" As he looked around, he noticed the battle going on. "What?"
Toro and Armatus were currently in a headlock as Toro was pushing the Stegosaurus into the jungle. "That's the way, Toro!" Max cheered.
"Hey, is that Stegosaurus giving you and Toro a hard time?" Dr. Drake asked as he ran over to Max. "Let me switch chambers and I'll give you a hand with it then, Max."
"What're you switchin' it to, Dr. Drake?" Max asked as the doctor aimed he needle at Armatus.
"Watch and learn!" Was his reply before he threw the needle at Armatus.
It made contact with the Stegosaurus and immediately injected the chamber into him. Armatus gave out a roar of pain before he collapsed on the ground, fast asleep. "Wow." Toro said in shock.
"I gave it enough heavy-duty tranquilizer to knock out a whole herd of wildebeest." Dr. Drake bragged.
"That wacky doctor just put Armatus to sleep!" Ed said.
"Whose idea was it to bring that guy here anyway?" Ursula asked, forgetting this was all her fault. "And where are Gigas and Brontikens?"
"Oh, that's right." Dr. Drake quickly remembered. "There's still another dinosaur that needs a flu shot." He grabbed his needle and resumed his hunt.
DK
"Your Dino Holder should provide more than enough power." Reese explained to her sister once they reached the engine room.
"But how will I get it back?" Zoe asked.
"As soon as the house is teleported home you can unplug it." Reese said.
"Okay." Zoe said as she handed the Dino Holder to Reese.
The Dino Holder was plugged in and the screen came to life. "Three minutes should be the ample time." Reese said as she typed in the coordinates for the return journey.
"Teleportation sequence has been initiated." A voice from the computer said. "Teleporting in three minutes."
Reese and Zoe both quickly ran to find their dad and get back into the house before they were stuck permanently. "I'll stay here and unplug it when everything's done!" Spiny called out to them as they left.
DK
Back with the fight, Maximus backed away as both opponents approached her. "This is so unfair!" She whined.
"Last time I checked, there's never a limit on how many dinosaurs one can use." Toro told her.
Nearby, Dr. Drake was still hunting for Gigas. "Where are you, Gigas? Time to get your shot!"
"There you are!" Reese said as she and Zoe finally found their dad. "Get back to the house right now, I'm sending it home!"
"But there's still one more dinosaur I need to vaccinate." Dr. Drake pouted.
"You have to come, or you'll be left on this island." Reese said before she took his hand and ran to the house.
"But I was so close." Dr. Drake said sadly.
"Hey, Rex, how 'bout we finish them with a combo move?" Max suggested.
"Good idea." Rex agreed before they both pulled out their Move Cards. "Electric Spines!"
Both Lola and Toro glowed as their Move Cards activated. Toro shot lightning at Maximus while Lola fired her Spike Arrows. The arrows passed through the lighting and came out all yellow. "What the?!" Maximus gasped before the arrows struck her, electrocuting her and defeating her.
"Ugh. What's going on?" Armatus asked as he slowly started to wake up, only to get pelted by some stray arrows as well and got defeated.
Ursula and Ed both groaned in frustration. "Urgh! I knew that vet was a bad idea!" Urusla yelled.
Reese and Dr. Drake both made it back to the house and waited on the balcony for it to return. "I feel like I've failed in my mission." Dr. Drake sighed in sadness. "Huh?" He noticed something rustling in the bushes and saw some white as well. He knew it has to be Gigas. "Oh, there he is!"
"Dad, there's no time!" Reese tried to tell him, but he already grabbed his needle and leapt off the balcony after Gigas. "Wait!"
He landed on the front porch his and ran past the D-Team. "No, Dad, you have to get back into the house!" Zoe said as they ran after him.
"Teleporting in sixty seconds and counting." The computer said.
"Dad, where are you?" Reese called out as they all searched for the vet. "You've got to come back!"
Gigas quivered as he stayed perfectly still, hoping that he wouldn't get caught. Those hopes were dashed when he saw Helga standing right in front of him.
"I don't believe it, I've lost him again!" Dr. Drake said as he looked around for the Tyrannosaurus.
"Let me go!" He heard Gigas yelled at Helga. "You're insane!"
"Well, look at that, a perfect target!" Dr. Drake said before aiming his needle at Gigas and injecting in into his rear. Gigas gave out a roar of pain that could be heard throughout the whole island before fainting.
Dr. Drake chuckled as he was able to cure all of his dinosaurs. "Come on, Dad!" Zoe told him.
"I got 'em all, Zoe." He replied proudly.
"Teleporting in thirty seconds, twenty-nine..."
"Hurry, Dad, it's almost time!" Reese said as they ran back to the house. Dr. Drake followed until he tripped and fell to the ground. "Dad, get up!"
"You two go on without me." Dr. Drake told her. "I'm not gonna make it back."
"Quit being dramatic!" Reese told him.
"I'm being serious!" Her father shot back. "My life is complete now that I've used my huge hypodermic!"
"Sixteen, fifteen, fourteen..."
"Hurry up!" Paris yelled as she finally found them and jabbed her crest into Dr. Drake's rear. This was probably the universe's way of karma.
"Oh!" Dr. Drake yelled in pain before getting up. "All right, all right, I'm coming!" He said, holding his butt has he ran
"Hehe." Reese chuckled as her dad made it back to the house. "This is for you." She turned around and saw Zander offering her a flower.
"Oh?"
"It wasn't meant to be this time, my angel, but I know we'll meet again." Zander said before giving her the flower.
"Thank you." Reese said as she accepted the gift.
"Ten, nine..."
"Reese, come on!" Zoe frantically called out to her sister.
Reese gasped as she realized she had less than ten seconds left. "Goodbye." She said before running back to the house.
"Call me?"
"What were you doing with Zander?" Zoe asked as Reese entered the house.
"Never mind!"
"Two, one, initiate." The whole room started to glow as a rainbow light covered the house and teleported it back to where it came from.
"It worked!" Max cheered.
"Well, that was fun." Spiny said as he grabbed the Dino Holder and went to find the others.
What he didn't notice was Seth watching the whole thing from one of the platforms. "Hmm. So the teleporter works even better than I thought. Perhaps it can be used for more important targets." Thinking how they could use the teleporter for future missions.
However, as he went to check the machine, his eyes narrowed at the result. The teleporter had sustained heavy damage from within. "It would appear I've overestimated the teleporter's power. Transporting a such large object to and from Zeta Point so closely together has overrun the circuitry. Supposedly, the teleporter is linked with the machine's time travel ability, in that one stone can't handle that much power. I'll need to play it safe for now and not rely on the teleporter to obtain what I need. Still..." He smiled as he got an idea. "Perhaps it might not be completely hopeless."
DK
It was sunset when the D-Team teleported back to the lab. "It's good to be back." Zoe said. "And since you're here, Reese, I guess everything's okay."
"Man, I still can't believe they were able to teleport your whole house." Max said to Zoe.
"What's the big deal, Max?" Spike asked. "You teleport yourself all the time."
"Yes, but this teleportation device was powered by the energy in the stones from Zoe's Dino Holder." Reese explained.
"Ah, no kidding?" Spike said in surprise. "It seems the stones are more powerful than we thought." He realized.
The others nodded in agreement before Zoe noticed someone working on Rocko's head. "Oh, Uncle Tokugawa."
"Hey, Zoe!" Her uncle waved. "Glad to see you back in one piece."
"What're you doing here?"
"Called in to work on the others while we throw up all our organs." Tank said bitterly.
"You know, I might just skip you if you keep this attitude up." Tokugawa told her.
Paris looked at her sick boyfriend and quickly got and idea. "Zoe, come here."
Paris whispered something into her friend's ear, and the pinkette smiled. "That's a brilliant idea." She said before summing Paris to her full-size and activating Nature's Blessing.
The green energy engulfed the four sick dinosaurs, and they immediately began to feel the change. Their pain disappeared and they all felt 100% better when the energy disappeared. "It worked!" Paris cheered before she was recalled out in her chibi-form.
"Paris!" Chomp said as he quickly ran over to her and began nuzzling her.
"Chomp, others are watching." Paris said as she gestured to the humans and dinosaurs watching.
Chomp immediately stopped and backed away from Paris nervously. He hadn't yet figured out a way to tell the others about what was going on between him and Paris, and the blank stares were not making him feel comfortable.
Thankfully, Max was able to break the silence. "All right, Rex, pay up."
Rex sighed in annoyance before handing some money to Max. "This is why I don't gamble."
"Wait, what?" Chomp and Paris said in confusion.
"I told you they were a couple." Spiny said to the other dinosaurs.
"But, isn't that against the law?" Romeo asked.
"What law?" The kids asked.
"It is forbidden for two dinosaurs of different species to be in a romantic relationship like this." Juliet explained.
"Not forbidden, just frowned upon." Guru told them. "As far as I know, there has never been such a law created. It was just so unpopular, even amongst the Kings, that everyone believed that it was forbidden for mixed species relationships when the law to ban such relationships was never passed."
"But what about when they have children?" Juliet asked, making Chomp and Paris blush in embarrassment. "What would they look like?"
"Would they even be able to properly function?" Romeo added. This got the other dinosaur couple thinking. What would a mix of Triceratops and Parasaurolophus look like if it was possible? Would it be accepted as a true dinosaur, or seen as a disgrace to nature?
Thankfully, Guru put those concerns to rest forever. "I remember a friend of mine having a mate of a different species, and when they had kids, they were either one species or the other. However, the Kings still did not see this as a safe practice, and made us that knew have to keep it a secret." He explained before turning to the other dinosaurs present. "As far as I know, there is absolutely nothing wrong with having a mate outside of one's species."
Some of the other dinosaurs celebrated at this realization. Lola bumped Toro with her side, the Torosaurus doing the same. Terry smiled at everyone's happiness before he was picked up by Ally. "See, Terry? It can still work between us!" She teased, causing the Tyrannosaurus to flush even redder than he already was.
As the dinosaurs celebrated, Reese quietly looked at the flower Zander gave her, wondering if she'd see him again.

Back at Zeta Point, Dr.Z winced in pain as Ed and Ursula worked on his back. "Aren't there supposed to be three of you numbskulls?" He asked, noticing Zander's absence. "Did the other one get sick?"
"I guess you could say that he'd got bitten by the love bug, right, Ed?" Ursula joked.
"Yeah, right! Love bug!" He laughed.
Out on the beach, Zander looked sadly at the sunset. "Oh, my angel! It's more than I can take! Without you by my side, my heart will brake! Oh, it's you that I adore! Say you'll love me like you love your dinosaur!"
As he sung the same song again, Brontikens walked behind him, now full-sized. As the sauropod went to the sleeping quarters for the night, he noticed a baby sea turtle stuck on its back. He looked down at the young turtle in silence for a good minute before he helped flip the baby back onto its stomach with the spike on his foot. The Apatosaurus watched in silence as the baby crawled towards the ocean before getting carried away by the tide. He eventually made it back to his sleeping quarter and turned in for the night. What he and the others didn't realize was that he was crying in his sleep.
Next time on Dinosaur King:
Spike: There's a dinosaur here in Kyoto?!
Zoe: That looks like a Fukuisaurus!
Max: Why is it after a hairpin?
A/N: Am I uploading faster than expected? Well, when I'm approaching my Disney World vacation (cue all the have a nice trip comments) I'm going to have a whole week without internet while on the cruise. So I just want to make sure that I give people stuff so they won't complain. But who am I kidding, there'll be people that still do that anyway.
Now we've reached the 300,000 word mark. As well as have a new chapter with the title of longest chapter in the story.
So, where did I get the idea to make Tokugawa a doctor? Well, I alway did want to add him as Dr. Drake's twin brother, but I had a hard time figuring out what his job would be. I eventually settled for doctor when I had this idea if we have a vet the dinosaurs hate, and a human doctor that they love. It's supposed to be funny.
That detective. I feel I've Seen HEr bEfoRe somewhere.
And those three carnivores? Yeah, they're who you think they are.
I did get someone asking about carnivore/herbivore shipping, and I'll say that I have one planned. Maybe another, but that'll be brought up later.
I know people wanted some Zander and Reese in this chapter. Unfortunately, I just couldn't find anything that wasn't in canon to put in here that wouldn't feel forced. I'll be honest, the relationship's in a bad place right now. And it'll only get worse after season 1.
Let me see, anything else? Oh, yeah! Brontikens' backstory. Where I got it from is sure to remember, I wouldn't say it was Land Before Time. I think Prince of Egypt and Akame Ga Kill had more to do with it than that.
Hopefully this answered your questions about last chapter, and gave a new insight into one of our antagonists. See you all soon.
