Last time on Dinosaur King:
Seth: Bring then all to me alive
Jonathan: Dr. Ancient was your father
Rex: My father?
Dinosaurs: Help us
Dr. Ancient: I believe that it is possible to rebuild the dinosaur culture. That is my first decree as your king!
Dr.Z: Just wait till you see what I'm really planning
Jonathan: And it turned out to be a dreadful plan
Seth: Long live the king
Dinosaurs: All hail King Rex!
Amy: The Alpha Gang invaded with a whole army of dinosaurs! They've captured everyone!
(Intro Theme)
Max stumbled back and fell down when he heard what Amy told him. "They captured everyone?" He repeated. "Even my mom?"
Amy nodded in confirmation. "Why'd you mean by an army?" Rex asked.
"I couldn't count how many, but I saw tons of dinosaurs that I haven't seen with the Alpha Gang before, including Velociraptors and a Saurophaganax." Amy recalled. "The weirdest part was that they almost looked exactly like some of our own."
"What'd you mean exactly like us?" Lola asked. "It's not like they could just copy us."
"They did so before." Chomp remembered. "When they took over that carnival. They must've brought them back
"But those were made from memories of Brontikens and the other three's fights with them. They were designed for labor, not fighting." Rod said. "And Seth erased them from existence after the amusement park fell apart." This caused some of the others to gasp at Seth's cruelty, even after what they had all just learned.
"So that means these are new clones. But why would he make them again if they're only good for slave labor?" Grumpy asked as he continued scratching his itch.
Max watched as the Megalosaurus continued to scratch his shoulder. This got him suspicious. "Mind if I take a look at it?" He asked.
"Be my guest." Grumpy said as he laid down and allowed the brunette to climb onto his back.
Max looked around before noticing a something small on the place Grumpy was scratching. "I think I found it." He said before crouching down and looking at it very carefully. "Looks like a needle or something was poked into here."
"Let me see." Rex climbed up and saw what Max was talking about. "Do you think?"
"It's possible." Max replied before hopping off. "Anyone else have any itches that won't go away?" He asked the dinos.
"Now that you mention it, there is something that's bugging me on my side." Trooper said.
"Same with me." Marlin said. "Sure it's just a coincidence."
"When the Alpha Gang's involved there are no coincidences." Max told the Baryonyx. "At least we know where these clones came from."
"Were you able to see how many clones there were?" Rex asked Amy.
"It all happened so fast I couldn't tell how many. All I know is that they were lead by this new dinosaur. A large pink Acrocanthosaurus." Amy recalled what she saw.
"Did you say a pink Acrocanthosaurus?" Beta asked.
"I did." Amy nodded.
"Oh, no." Ace's eyes widened.
"What? What is it?" Kui asked.
"There's only one dinosaur with that description." Ace said before looking at Max and Rex. "Pyro's alive."
"Are you serious?" Chomp asked.
"Positive."
"Seems like everyone's here for this attack." Rex said as he thought about a strategy.
"Well, why don't we make sure that statement stays true?" Max asked with his trademark smile.
Rex looked at his friend and smiled back. "I was thinking the same thing."
DK
In the center of the town, the Alpha Gang had all their captures in the middle of a large circle of dinosaurs and Droids. The sound of many cries for help or those of little kids trying to find comfort in their parents filled the air. Many of the prisoners had tried to sneak out or heroically fight back, and were tied into groups with chains as a result. One of these prisoners was Aki. "I don't understand!" Aki yelled as she struggled in her chains, joined by at least ten others. "Why're you doing this?!"
"Why, revenge, of course." Ursula responded as she knelt down to her level. "The amount of times your brat and his friends have called me an old lady is uncountable!" She hissed as she pulled Aki's cheeks before smiling again. "Besides, you don't look that young yourself."
"Ursula, please don't open that can of worms." Zander said, already knowing if she continued it'd end badly.
Ursula gave him a glare that told him to shut up before going back to pulling Aki's cheeks, finding delight in messing with Max's mother.
In the back, on a small hill in the road, Brontikens and Pyro looked over all the prisoners. "You and your clones did good for a first mission." Brontikens said to Pyro.
"Well that's to be expected. We are more evolved, after all." Pyro gloated before looking up at the sun and growling. "It's been hours and they haven't shown up. I thought you said they would've responded right away?"
"I did. Something must be keeping them busy." Brontikens guessed. "All we have to do is wait."
"Bah! We've waited too long. I think we should start killing them now!" Pyro declared.
Brontikens' eyes slightly showed shock. "Don't waste your time killing a bunch of defenseless humans." He told the Acrocanthosaurus. "Especially if it's not needed."
"I disagree." Seth said as he approached from behind the two. "The D-Team clearly seem to be ignoring the call of duty. It only seems right that there are some punishments to go with that failure." He said before giving his cold smirk. "Besides, it wouldn't hurt to send a message."
Pyro agreed and gave out a roar to his troops. The prisoners trembled, and covered their ears if they could, when they heard that loud roar. "What was that?" Someone asked.
"I think that pink one's saying something." Someone else answered.
"Look, it's coming down here!" Someone yelled as they pointed to the advancing Acrocanthosaurus, causing panic to rise from the prisoners.
"What does it want with us?!"
"Please don't be hungry! Please don't be hungry!"
"Oh, he's not hungry." Seth assured them all. "But things are about to get hot in here."
Anyone who remembered what Pyro did the first time he invaded began to panic. Those in chains struggled desperately to free themselves. Those that could run tried to, but found every exit way blocked by a dinosaur. "Wait!" Torch spoke up, surprising many with that he could talk. "Let me do it. I can kill more at once with my new Move."
"Learn your place, bottom feed-" Pyro growled before Seth cut him off.
"Go ahead, Torch. In fact, why don't you and Pyro both do the executions?" He suggested.
"Oh! Oh! Start with the brat's mother!" Ursula suggested, raising her hand and leaping like a little kid.
"Perfect." Pyro said as he and Torch walked over to where Aki was to burn her alive.
Aki went pale with fear as the two carnivores approached her. Despite her struggles, she couldn't even budge from her chain prison. As they got closer, other prisoners that weren't chained up scampered away, not knowing they were still in the blast zone. Pyro stopped right in front of Aki and opened his mouth, giving her a great view of all his teeth. That view got even worse when she saw is mouth glowing orange while his sail lit up. Knowing what he was about to do, Aki closed her eyes and waited for the end. "I'm sorry, boys." She quietly thought as she waited for the blast.
"STOP!" A familiar voice called out, causing Pyro to stop charging his attack. Everyone looked to the top of a hill and saw The D-Team looking down at them, with looks that could kill directed at the Alpha Gang. "You wanted us so badly!? Well, here we are!" Max yelled at Seth.
"Ah, you took your time." Seth said in response before noticing the crown on Rex's head. "So, I guess they finally told him the truth." He glared at his nephew.
"Max! What're you doing?! Run!" Aki cried to her son, not wanting him to be captured or killed like she was about to be.
"Don't worry about me, Mom! I can handle these creeps!" Max assured her.
"Kids, you know as well as I do that none of you would be able to defeat any of us by yourselves." Seth told them. "So why don't you bring out your friends to do the job for you."
Not giving Seth a response, the three of them pulled out their Dino Holders and their cards.
"DINO SLASH!"
In another dimension, the six dinosaurs went through the transformations from chibi form to their true forms.
"Here we go!" Chomp called out as his eyes glowed yellow before he spun around and roared in a lightning dimension.
"Time to finish this!" Terry declared as his eyes glowed red before mimicking Chomp in a fire dimension.
"Your reign of terror ends here!" Ace declared as his eyes glowed white before leaping and growling in a wind dimension.
"Who's ready for an ass kicking?" Tank asked as her eyes glowed purple before rearing up and roaring in an earth dimension.
"I won't allow anyone else to be hurt!" Paris said as her eyes glowed green before copying Tank in a grass dimension.
"Spiny Powers activate!" Spiny said as his eyes glowed blue before he gave a roar in a water dimension.
Once those six appeared, all the rest of the dinosaurs the D-Team had followed. A chorus of roars filled the air as the sky changed to that of a Battlefield. The Alpha Gang dinosaurs abandoned their posts and grouped up together, joined by several Alpha Droids.
There was a deadly silence as both sides started each other down. Many of them starting glaring at their opponents, their eyes turning blood red if they already weren't. After about a minute, Rex gave the signal to attack. "Charge!" He ordered the troops of dinosaurs. With the command given by their new king, the dinosaur army roared and charged down the hill towards the Alpha Gang.
"Kill them all!" Seth ordered his troops, giving them the same signal of attack. The Alpha Gang dinos responded with their own roars before charging as well.
The ground shook as over twenty tons of dinosaurs charged towards the opposing side: horns were lowered, claws stretched out, and teeth were bared.
With Terry in front of the D-Teams army and Torch in front of the Alpha Gang's, the two of them finally made contact, causing a shockwave that everyone could feel.
This was followed by other dinosaurs making contact with each other while those that weren't occupied started smashing Alpha Droids to scrap. The only one that wasn't in the middle of this tussle was Pyro, who watched from behind the whole thing before charging up a Fire Blaster. His plan was to burn them all at once, but he was quickly discovered by the D-Team's eyes in the sky. "Look out! Pyro's charging up a Fire Blaster!" Jet quickly warned his allies.
Deciding to attack despite his cover being blown, Pyro breathed fire where the dinosaurs were standing, though most had moved out of the way when Jet warned them. What followed was a large wall of fire that was quickly spreading all over the city. "We need to move this battle!" Zoe said as she zoomed in on the whole thing with her googles. "I doubt the rescue team can get the people out of there with not only that fire, but all the fights going on!"
"Split up!" Rex called out to the dinos. "Don't all fight at the same spot!"
"You heard him!" Terry called out to the others to make sure they heard Rex's orders. "Split up! We have a whole city to fight in!" The others heard this and began to move to different parts of the city, the kids running down to help their partners the best they could.
DK
Once they split up, Tank found herself in the park they fought the Alpha Gang over the Card Folio that gave the D-Team the Pteranodons and Lucky and the Alpha Gang Brontikens.
Speaking of the Apatosaurus, she saw the he was also in the same location. "I would say I'm surprised you chose to fight me, but you've established you aren't the brightest of your team." Brontikens told her.
"Don't go feeling special." Tank responded, pawing the ground as she prepared to pounce him. "I only came here so the city wouldn't get destroyed."
"Oh, I know that. If he wasn't battling Torch, I'd be expecting Terry to entertain me. I just know that you'd rather fight me than leave it to someone more qualified."
"You saying I'm not strong enough." Tank growled at the Apatosaur's attempt at being funny.
"There're only three dinsoaurs that aren't Secret that can defeat me by themselves. Spoiler alert, you're not one of them."
"Well, be prepared for that number to change to four!" Tank screamed as she started glowing purple.
"So you're deciding to start with a Move Card. Seems you've forgotten we have a counter for that now." Brontikens said before giving out a loud bellow.
This bellow was a call for the Velociraptors to attack Tank while he looked for someone more entertaining. The trio were actually nearby and responded in seconds, already reaching their location and preparing to use Critical Block on the Saichania.
But before they could reach Tank; Dino, Danno, and Sue appeared out of nowhere and each one of them tackled a Velociraptor. "Yeah, you're not using that Move this time!" Dino told the leader, who she was tussling with. The leader didn't say anything in response to her remark. "Silent type I see."
"Thanks for the help!" Tank said to Dino as she finished charging her Spike Arrows attack. "Try and get your eye poked out!" She told Brontikens before she fired the arrows at him. Brontikens didn't even more and all the arrows made direct contact with him, none hitting his eyes. "Wow, you're even stupider than I-"
Tank stopped herself when Brontikens shook off the arrows like they were nothing. "Seems I was wrong about you. That actually hurt a bit." He said to her. "Looks like you'll entertain me after all."
DK
Another part of the city was experiencing the beginning of a large battle. On the D-Team were the trainers, minus Coal, the rest of the Secret Dinosaurs, and Lola. And on the Alpha Gang side were all the clones: except Pyro, the Carcharodontosaurus, and the raptors. At the moment, the two groups were staring each other down. "So, these are our clones?" Kui said as he looked at their opponents.
"Well, technically Grumpy and Trooper are the only one of us whose clones are here." Lola pointed out.
"Yeah. And she doesn't look like much," Grumpy said smugly, causing the clone to growl at him. "What? Is that your best remark?"
"I don't think they can speak english." Trooper guessed.
"And we're supposed to be scared of them?" Diamond laughed.
"Don't get cocky. They were made by Seth." Guru reminded them.
"Guru's got a point. Don't let their lack of vocabulary make you think they can't fight." Toro said.
"You guys need to stop worrying so much." Diamond said before turning to Teddy. "Teddy, show them."
"Why me?" The Therizinosaurus asked, intimidated by both the clones and Diamond.
"Aside from the fact I hate you, you're also a powerhouse." Diamond answered. "Now get in there!" She gave him a push to empathize her point.
The push was enough to get Teddy to overcome his fears and get into battle mode. With the swing of his claws, he went straight for the Clone Megalosaurus, who he thought to be the strongest. What he didn't realize was that the Clone Megalosaurus also had the Moves of the original until he was picked up by her telekinesis for Zero G Throw. "Waah! Help me!" Teddy struggled in the grasp as he got higher and higher into the air.
"I got ya!" Meg quickly replied as she went for the Clone Megalosaurus, only to get stopped by the Clone Baryonyx pinning her down with her mouth.
Seeing Meg was unsuccessful in stopping the attack, and Teddy was getting higher, Toro decided to fight the Clone Megalosaurus himself. "Leave it to me!" He yelled as he charged towards the Megalosaurus clone, too fast for any of the other clones to stop him. What he didn't expect was for not only his attack to make contact flawlessly, by for the Clone Megalosaurus to not even flinch. "What?!"
"She didn't even flinch?!" Teddy gasped before the Megalosaurus finally let go of him. "Aaaah!" He screamed before he crashed through the roof of a building, getting carded once he hit the floor.
"Teddy!" Many of the dinos exclaimed. This distraction gave the Clone Pentaceratops and Clone Anchiceratops the opening they needed to get a surprise tackle attack in Kui, sending him flying into a building where he crashed on a desk and was defeated.
"These things are tougher than we thought." Guru grunted as he tried to get the Clone Baryonyx off of Meg by pushing her off with his neck, with little success. This only worked due to the clone getting bored with his attempt and deciding to regroup with the others. "We'll need to fight a little differently." Guru said as he joined back up with what was left of his team.
"Hitting them really hard isn't much difference." Trooper pointed out.
"Depends on how hard you can hit!" Diamond said before they all charged at the clones.
DK
Back in the center of the city, the prisoners were still held captive by many buff Alpha Droids still guarding them. The number of Alpha Droids present was uncountable. It's a surprise D.R.O.I.D was able to control them all.
All they could do was watch as a large portion of the dinosaurs that were summoned by those kids, lead by Zoe and Paris, fought all the Alpha Droids. Where the robots lacked in strength they made up for in numbers. It was proving to be difficult to break through the barrier the smaller Droids made between them and the prisoners. Despite this, many of the captives watched the fighting in awe. "Who would've guessed all this time those kids are the ones who summoned the dinosaurs?" Someone asked.
"I sure didn't." Aki whispered to herself, having trouble processing that she's been living with dinosaurs for a whole year.
What none of them realized was that another group: composed of Amy, Hana, Lucky, Thorn, Iguano, Rod, and Laura were creeping over to the captives from behind while most of the Droids were distracted. "Coast seems to be clear." Rod said as he singled the others to follow him.
"Have we discussed what're we gonna do with the people once we free them?" Lucky asked.
"We'll lead them to safety across that bridge." Amy pointed to a large bridge not too far from their location.
"I think our main priority is getting past those Guard Droids." Hana said as they hid behind a corner so they wouldn't get spotted. "One false move and they'll alert the others."
"Probably should've asked the Pteranodons to take care of them." Rod said as he looked up to see the trio of pterosaurs flying over them. He couldn't risk calling out for them without being heard due to how close they were to the Droids.
Things only got more complicated when the Clone Carcharodontosaurus was revealed to also be on guard duty. "You've got to be kidding me." Lucky said in frustration. "How're we gonna get past him?"
Rod thought for a bit before coming up with an idea. "I'll distract him while you guys help the others."
"Rod, are you crazy? He'll catch you in a second!" Laura pointed out to her brother.
"Not if I'm on the Alpha Scooter." Rod said with the snap of a finger, summoning his ride.
"Rod-"
"Laura, I'm not arguing about this." Rod firmly told his sister as he hopped on. "I'll be fine."
"I'm coming with you." Laura said as she hopped on.
"Laura-"
"This mess is partially our fault." Laura reminded him. "We should both help clean it up."
Knowing he couldn't argue with her, Rod smirked before he flew the scooter towards the Clone Carcharodontosaurus. "Hey!" Rod called out to the clone, gaining his attention. "Brains the size of bees!" He and Laura mocked together.
While the clone couldn't speak english, he defiantly knew they were insulting him. Giving out a loud roar of anger, he attacked the two kids, jaws agape. "Here we go!" Rod told Laura as he start up the scooter, flying away just in time to miss the predator's jaws.
The Clone Carcharodontosaur's abandoning of his post and attack was enough of a distraction for the rest of the rescue team to spring the Alpha Droids. "Taste Quake Saber!" Hana yelled at the Droids as her tail lit up like a light saber before slashing most of the Droids in half. The rest were all knocked down by a headbutt from Iguano before being trampled.
Seeing the Droids were destroyed, Iguano turned to the crowd, slightly scared at the new dinosaur. "Come on!" He urged them. "Let's get out of here!"
Not needing to be told twice, those that weren't chained immediately got into their feet and ran to where Amy and Hana were. The real challenge were those in chains. Iguano ran up to one and tried to break them with his thump-spike, but had little to no success. "Thorn, Lucky, help me!" He called out.
"On our way!" Both of them said as they ran over and tried to break the chains themselves. "Don't move a muscle." Lucky warned a terrified group before bitting down on their chain, causing it to break and the prisoners to be free.
Thorn did the same with his horn, and the two of them were quickly able to free all the prisoners. "Come on! Let's go before they notice!" Thorn said as he grabbed some on the slower humans and placed them on his back, copied by Lucky, and ran to the rest of the group.
What they didn't know was that the trio were on top of a large platform of rubble and saw the whole thing. Well, Zander did with his rifle. "Looks like our prisoners are now escapers." He told Urusla and Ed.
"Them do something about it!" Urusla told him, not showing much interest. "Shoot down any dinosaurs helping them escape!"
"Understood. I'll start with the Iguanodon." Zander said as he aimed his rifle.
"What?"
"He's in the rear, so he hopefully shouldn't be noticed." Zander said as he put his finger on the trigger. "See ya later, lizard!"
"No!" Ursula cried as she tackled Zander to the ground. His gun still went off, but all it did was hit a building.
Zander got back up and grabbed his gun. After making sure it wasn't damaged, he turned back to Ursula. "What the hell was that for?! I had a perfect shot!"
Still on the ground, Ursula looked up to Zander with tears in her eyes. "Please, Zander! Please don't shoot Iguano!"
"But he's helping the brats, so he's an enemy." Ed pointed out.
"I know! But...I...he's still my friend!" Ursula sobbed. "Please. I know I boss you around many times, but I'm asking you not as a boss, but as a sister." She quietly cried.
Zander and Ed looked at each other in silence. It had been years since Ursula thought of them as brothers. Zander sighed before he pulled out his rifle and aimed it in the opposite direction. "I can't promise he won't get hurt, or that he won't take a bullet, but I promise I won't shoot him on purpose."
Ursula sighed quietly on relief, staying crouched so they didn't see her cry. "Th-thank...you."
DK
It wasn't too tricky to find where Pyro might have ran off to. All Max, Rex, and Chomp has to do was go to where the growing fire was largest and hottest, which was never a good sign given Pyro's nature. "Faster, Chomp!" Max urged his partner from atop his back.
"No! Rushing in will leave us open to a sneak attack!" Rex quickly opposed.
"No offense, Your Majesty, but I'm pretty sure I know what Pyro's doing right now." Chomp said. "And it's not good."
Things only got worse when they heard the sound of hissing. Out of the flames leapt the Clone Deinonychus, landing in front of Chomp and blocking his path. "Great. Just what we need." Max hissed.
Rex was annoyed at their road block, but a bit more worried at the implications. "I doubt they'd try to stop us if there wasn't someone else ahead." He guessed. "We'll have to get through them."
"Are you sure we can do that?" Chomp asked, remembering his fight with Dino, Danno, and Sue and how badly that went.
No one had time to answer before one of the sidekick clones leapt right at them, aiming for Rex. But before he could sink his claws into his throat, a blast a purple energy hit him on the head and knocked him to the ground. Looking up, the trio saw Spectre hovering over them before landing between them and the raptors. He stuck his hand out and motioned for them to approach him. "Come at me, bro."
The other sidekick took the bait and attacked the guardian. Spectre pointed his fingers at him like they were guns and fired another blast at it, though much smaller. The leader and remaining sidekick started repeatedly attacking the pirate, who countered all their attacks B-movie style. "WwwA! Hozah! Hazoow! Yaa! Yah!" The first sidekick he knocked out regained consciousness and tried to attack him from behind. But Spectre already knew this and punched him in the face without looking behind himself. "HhyEEOOWww!"
The lead Clone Deinonychus was getting tired of this stupid creature and decided to gather both of his followers to use a Move Card. But the second he started glowing he saw himself getting dragged by the tail by Jonathan. "No you don't!" Jonathan grunted as he threw the Clone Deinonychus with all his might into a food stand. "Master Rex, me and Spectre can handle these three! Go and stop Pyro! He's just up ahead!"
"You heard him! Hang on tight, boys!" Chomp said before he leapt over the battle and ran to where Jonathan told them.
Sure enough, Pyro was there, fighting against Ace and Beta, and winning. At the moment, he and Beta were currently exchanging snaps at each other, trying to get the other in their grasp. Eventually, Beta was able to get a tight grip on Pyro's neck, but suddenly let go when she felt her teeth burning. "Aaah!" She hissed in pain.
"Ha, ha! You only got that bite 'cause I felt pity for your sluggish ass!" Pyro mocked as his sail lit up.
"Leave her alone!" Ace yelled at Pyro. "It's me you want!"
"Oh, don't act all brave." Pyro told him as he turned to face the Carnotaurus. "I remember too perfectly that both of you played a part in my defeat." He said before mentally grinning. "You know, you look like you need a bucket of water thrown on you." Before Ace could reply, Pyro breathed fire on the Carnotaurus, engulfing him in flames. He up to and kept up his fire-breathing until he was close enough to headbutt Ace to the ground.
The Carnotaurus tried to get up, but Pyro stopped him by placing a foot on his neck, causing Ace to scream in pain from the heat it brought. "Aaaah!"
"Ace!" Beta and the others cried as they all ran to help him.
"So, there's more challengers?" Pyro said as he saw them all approach. "Looks like I'll need to even the playing field." He got off of Ace, the Carnotaurus too injured at the moment to get up, and begun to charge up a fire ball for Beta. "Sorry, Beta, but it looks like you're out of this match." He fired the attack and it hit her dead center, causing her to fly right into the column of a large skyscraper, destroying it on impact.
Without the column for balance, the whole building started to collapse right on top of the Acrocanthosaurus. "Beta!" Ace cried as she saw his mate get crushed by all the rubble. This gave him the strength he need to not only get back onto his feet, but also rejoin the fight.
When the dust cleared, there was no sign of her or her card. "I'll find the body later." Pyro said, turning his attention back to Chomp and the others, who were shocked at how he was able to defeat someone as strong as Beta without much trouble. "Sorry about that. Can't be too unfair, can we?"
"Nothing's fair when it comes to you creeps!" Max yelled at him. "You'll pay for that!"
"Since I don't have money, I'm assuming you mean in blood." Pyro joked before getting serious. "If what you just saw wasn't already a spoiler alert at what's about to come, then I hope you're ready to get your hopes burned."
DK
Back where the battle began, Terry and Torch were still fighting each other. The two carnivores were currently in a headlock, trying to get an opening on the other. Due to his larger size, Terry was able to push Torch back enough to grab him by the neck. Wasting to time, he charged towards a store and smashed Torch against the side.
Thinking he had enough, Terry let to and backed away to see the damage. Torch was panting heavily while still lying in the floor. "Had enough yet?" Terry asked, also starting to get tired from the fight.
"'Enough'? Please! I haven't even shown you my true power." Torch said as he got up and walked past Terry. He looked down the street they were fighting on and saw the large number of dinosaurs battling the Alpha Droids. "I think this lot should make a good example."
"Example of what?" Terry asked, not liking where this was going.
"Example of Seth's power!" Torch answered as he started glowing red and forming a meteor in his mouth.
Terry's eyes widened as he recognized the attack from Siberia. "Everyone, get out of there!" He called out to those bellow.
"Not going to work this time." Torch told him as the meteor grew larger. At that moment, a wall of fire surrounded nearly all of the dinosaurs and Alpha Droids bellow. "You can thank Seth for these upgrades." With that, Torch released the meteor.
The meteor slowly started to descend to the impact zone. Those below were too stunned by the heat to try and escape. With a large explosion, the meteor made impact, creating a huge fire that added to the already growing one. Caught in the blast were Bali, Sweet Tooth, Sushi, Delta, Marlin, Romeo, Juliet, Mia, and several Alpha Droids that were melted to scrap. The only ones of escape were Zoe, Paris, Rocko, Nessie, Charles, Gertie, D.R.O.I.D, and a handful of Alpha Droids.
Having been able to escape through the wall of fire, except Gertie and Charles who were just outside of it, Zoe and the dinosaurs panted heavily at their near death experience, especially Zoe. "Are you all right, Zoe?" Paris quickly asked.
"I'm fine, Paris." Zoe replied, still shaken up from the whole thing. "I just hope the others are fine."
"I doubt Torch killed them. We'll check on them after we send those scrap piles out of here." Nessie said before heading in the opposite direction.
"Where're you going?" Gertie asked the smaller sauropod.
"I need to take care of some unfinished business." Nessie replied. "Don't try to stop me! Doctor's orders!" She called back as she disappeared, confusing them all.
Moving on from what just happened, Rocko looked up at Charles. "Charles, load me." He told his partner.
"But, Rocko-"
"Damn it, dude, Terry needs help against that creep. Just load me the fuck up!" Rocko commanded.
Not wanting to anger his partner even more, Charles lowered his neck and signaled for Rocko to climb on. "Be safe." Charles told his friend before he swung his neck in Torch's direction and let go.
"LEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-" Rocko screamed as he flew through the air, only to fly right past Torch and Terry.
"Well, that was funny." Torch said before turning to Terry, who was still in shock from what he just saw. "What? No remarks?"
"How did you get that power?" Terry asked.
"Through Seth's hard training was I able to perfect it." The Saurophaganax answered. "Now I can use it without any negative side effects on my stamina!"
"You really seem to look up to that bastard, don't you?" Terry assumed as they started circling each other.
"What you see as evil, I see as amazing. Seth deserves to be crowned king. And I'll gladly follow him."
"If you're too blind too see his true nature, than I've lost all hope for you. If you won't come with us willingly, the only way to save your life is to take you by force!" Terry roared before they both charged at each other.

From atop their rubble pile, the Alpha Gang struggled to keep their footing. "Whoaaaaa!" This wasn't due to Torch's attack, but the fight going on right below them.
At the bottom of the pile, Gigas, Maximus, and Armatus found themselves fighting against Salty, Coal, Utah, Francine, and Comet.
The Pentaceratops was currently hitting Gigas repeatedly in the stomach with his horns. "Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!" Gigas yelped every time he was it. "I'm sorry for attacking you!"
"Tell that to the judge!" Comet said as he backed away to give Francine the opening to use her Death Grind Move Card.
She knocked him onto his side with her tail before dragging him across the ground in a U-turn before stopping and making him slide slowly away from her. "The jury finds you guilty." Francine said as she turned around and actually farted on the Tyrannosaur.
"My eyes!" Gigas cried in pain from the gas blinding him and causing his nose to burn.
"Was that really necessary?" Comet asked, slightly shocked, and disgusted, at what Francine just did.
"He deserves it after being so mean to you in Hollywood." The Anchiceratops answered. Comet didn't exactly know how to feel about that. On one hand it was sweet she cared, on the other she used farting as her way of combat.
Nearby, the other three were squaring off against Armatus and Maximus. "Think you could take out the Awesome Team, thick thighs?" Coal mockingly asked Maximus.
"I never agreed to that name." Utah told her.
"Oi! No one calls my Maximus fat!" Armatus yelled at the Carcharodontosaurus.
"I'm not your girlfriend." Maximus retorted.
"But you are screwed." Coal said as she grabbed Maximus in her mouth and tossed her away.
With the Triceratops out of the way, Salty started to charge towards Armatus. As he did, Utah leapt onto his back, ran to his neck, and leapt off it like a diving board before latching onto the Stegosaur's face and started clawing it like a cat. "Aaah!" Armatus screamed in pain. "Get it off! Get it off! Get it off!"
"Since you asked nicely." Utah said as she leapt off. But this was only due to Salty now pushing him right into the rubble pile the Alpha Gang was on.
"No! No! No! No!" The trio screamed before the Saltasaurus made contact with the pile, causing it to collapse. "Aaah!" The trio screamed as they fell to the ground.

The rest of the people were on a large bridge that went across a large lake when they all felt the explosion from Torch's attack. Seeing the fire grow in size, the people began to panic and started to pick up their pace. "Calm down!" Iguano told everyone while he guided them with any available police officers. "No pushing and shoving!"
"We'll all be safe once we get to the other side of the bridge." Amy assured the crowd as she lead the way with Hana, Lucky and Thorn at their sides to provide backup.
This calmed the crowd down slightly. Until a woman let out a loud scream. "Aaah!" Looking where she was pointing, they saw one of the Clone Deinonychus, having escaped from Jonathan and Spectre, on one of the towers. The sound of two more hisses revealed the other two on the tower across.
"You should've thought of a less obvious way to escape." An unfamiliar voice told them from nowhere. Looking around frantically, they finally saw the Clone Megaraptor climbing down the cables. "Of course, I've already got counters for all your escape routes planned." He said as he reached the bottom and hopped of the cables, landing in front of the group before being joined by the Clone Deinonychus.
"Get out of our way if you know what's good for you!" Hana ordered as she swung her tail to prove her point.
"You might want to reconsider that plan." The Clone Megaraptor warned her as the Clone Deinonychus started to surround the group. "Attacking me or any of the Deinonychus will leave the group unprotected to the rest of us. And I think you can finish the picture from there." This caused the people in the group to panic.
"So, what? We're your prisoners to use as bargaining?" Thorn asked, pawing the ground despite the clone's warning.
"Of course not. I never said anything about not attacking you regardless of your cooperation." The Clone Megaraptor said before roaring and going for the group. Thorn quickly responded by charging forward and blocking the clone with his horn. The clone slid back and gave out a roar that signaled the Deinonychus to attack.
The clone on Thorn's side went in for the kill, but was blocked by Lucky leaping over from his side to block his path. This only gave an opening for the clone on his side. He grabbed a child by the foot and started to drag her away. "Leave her alone!" Iguano yelled as he hit the clone away with his tail, causing it to let go of the girl. Thankfully for him, his side was covered by the officers, but the Deinonychus was faster than their bullets.
Knowing the officers would be killed without help, Hana decided to go and fight the clone at the end. "Everyone, move!" Hana warmed the crowd as she started to charge to where the clone was.
"Not so fast." The Clone Megaraptor said as he hit Thorn away with his tail. The Styracosaurus was sent flying through the air until he landed in the center of the group, thankfully not crushing anyone, but slowing down Hana from reaching the officers in trouble. "Quite the predicament you all are in. Going for offense will leave the defenseless humans open to attack, but using only defense will get you nowhere. It seems you all have met the end of the road." He said as he went in for the kill.
"Not quite, villain!" A voice called out to him. Looking up, the Clone Megaraptor saw Spike standing heroically on one of the towers, pulling out his ship. "I Dr. Spike Taylor will be the one to defeat you once and for alllll!" All the swinging from of his whip caused him to lose his balance and fall from the tower, face planting into the gravel.
"Some rescue." The Clone Megaraptor said as he placed a claw on the unconscious man's head and prepared to kill him.
"No!" Aki cried out.
"Oh? I'm assuming this fool is with you. Well, I wouldn't want to separate a couple. Deinonychus, kill her." The Clone Megaraptor calmly ordered.
One of the Deinonychus screeched and leapt into the air to pounce on Aki and Amy other humans in his path. But before he could sink his claws into flesh, he was struck by a flash of blue and disappeared. "What!?" The Clone Megaraptor said in shock. The other two Deinonychus clones were confused at what just happened and were open to attack by two other flashes of blue.
The flashes of blue turned out to be the Pteranodons as the regrouped over the lake. "Seems you still need to account for the fact that anything can happen in a battle!" Jet told the clone as he and his followers picked up speed. "Metal Wing!" He said as he sliced the Clone Megaraptor, followed by Turbo. The Clone Megaraptor was just barley able to dodge Glider's attack before nearly getting blown away by a plane flying right over him, courtesy of Reese. "Aerial Strike!" The trio said together as they flew towards the Clone Megaraptor like a meteor.
The clone had no chance to dodge this one as was knocked right towards Thorn and Lucky, who caught him with their heads and threw him off the bridge and into the lake below. The Megaraptor clone quickly resurfaced, but was struggling to keep his head above the water. "No! I can't swim!" He exclaimed.
It was then that Futaba's head appeared from beneath the water. "No worry. I help you!" Futaba said as he charged up a Super Cannon that hit the Clone Megaraptor dead center, causing him to be carded. The card floated on the water, joined by the Clone Deinonychus Card. "Two down." Futaba said as he dove back into the water.
Back on the bridge, Amy helped Spike onto Hana's back. "Is everyone okay?" She asked the group.
"We got a kid with a Deinonychus bite on her leg." Iguano answered as he helped the kid onto his back. "Aside from that and Spike, we have no over injuries."
"Then we better keep moving if we are to meet with Reese and they are to receive medical attention." Hana said as they continued to cross the bridge, the threat of the clone raptors gone.

Elsewhere, Helga was, for some reason, trying to put out the fire with gasoline. "Water. Water. Water." She repeated as she poured a watering can filled with gasoline onto a burning house, her head glitching like usual as of late. "That'll be 25, plus tax. No credit card." She said to the fire as she went to the next house.
Before she could reach the burning house, Rod and Laura flew out of the fire, the Clone Carcharodontosaurus bursting through a burning house. Despite having been chasing them for a while, the clone was showing no signs of being tired. Laura looked back at the clone, worried about his lack of exhaustion. "He's not getting tired at all, Rod. How much longer can we keep flying?"
Rod looked down at the fuel gag and answered grimly. "Not much longer. If we didn't lose him in the fire, I doubt anything will get him off our tails. We might have to resort to outrunning him in a few minutes."
"Look out! He's on top of us!" Laura screamed as the scooter decreased slowly in speed, giving the Clone Carcharodontosaurus a chance to almost have them in his jaws.
Rod didn't waste anytime increasing the speed to get out of his mouth. "Aah!" They both screamed as the scooter increased in altitude. The Clone Carcharodontosaurus leapt up after them and snapped his jaws, just barely missing the scooter.
Helga was watering the fire when she heard the sound of the kids screaming. "Oh, hello, children." She turned around and saw them nearly avoiding certain death. "Children?" She turned her head as she watched them avoid the Clone Carcharodontosaur's jaws. The more she watched, the gears in her head started to turn differently. Something about that scene seemed familiar.
It was like she was in this position before with these kids. Yes, sometime in a jungle with a Stegosaurus. But why did she remember that? Who were these kids? As she kept on trying to remember, her gears started turning faster and faster to the point of overheating. Her head was burning until the gears burnt out and her eyes glowed red.
Back with the kids, the Clone Carcharodontosaurus continued snapping at them every chance he could get. But before he could attempt to get them in his grasp, Helga appeared out of nowhere and kicked him in the face. The clone was knocked back and was sent crashing into a burning house. Rod and Laura looked at Helga in shock. Her face now had the familiar look of a raged bull. She flexed her muscles and steam came out of her nose. "I'm back!" She announced.
"Helga?" Rod and Laura asked, wondering if Helga had returned to normal.
Helga turned her head around like an owl and yelled at them "Do your homework!" She yelled before her face was replaced with a smile. "That's my usual line, but now there's bigger fish to fry. Go help your friends. I'll handle this bully."
Despite their protests, the kids knew better than to argue with Helga and flew back to the rest of the fight. Seeing they were gone, Helga turned her attention back to the Clone Carcharodontosaurus, who was getting up from the fire, small burns covering his body. "So, you want some more, huh?" She asked the clone as she grabbed a large piece of burning wood. "I'll show you!" She gave a Tarzan yell and leapt towards the clone and swung the wood at him, hitting him on the face and causing embers to blind him.
The Clone Carcharodontosaurus roared in pain from the embers. He snapped where Helga was, but the android dodged and hit him on the right leg, causing him to fall on his side. As he started to get up, Helga leapt high into the air. "You will get a timeout for this!" She yelled at the clone as she swung the wood down on his head with all her might.
The force from the impact knocked him unconscious and caused him to return to his card. "Hmph!" Helga said triumphantly. "I showed him."
DK
Elsewhere, the Deinonychus trio were still in a tussle with the Velociraptor trio. It was impossible for either side to use their Moves since there was always one member that was occupied by a member of the opposite team. "You scavengers just love getting on our nerves, don't you?!" Dino hissed at the lead Velociraptor.
"Don't you go calling us scavengers!" The Velociraptor yelled at her.
"Well you certainly have the brains of scavengers if you didn't see this coming." Dino told him.
"See what coming?" The Velociraptor asked before getting head-butted off Dino by Pawpaw.
"That'll teach you, meanie!" Pawpaw said to the leader before hitting the other two off Danno and Sue with his tail.
"Thanks, Pawpaw." Dino said as she got back up and regroup with her sisters, staring their enemies down. "Looks like the odds are tipped more in our favor." She told the smaller raptors.
"Doesn't matter how many of you we have to fight! We will not be going back into the tube!" The leader declared.
This got the four D-Team dinos confused. "What tube?" Danno asked.
"The test tube." The lead Velociraptor answered. "Everyday we are thrown into that tube and tortured without end. The man responsible doesn't even care if we live or die. If he says he does, it's only so our Move Card would keep working." Tears started to form out of his eyes as he recalled all the countless horrors he and his pack experienced since Seth found them.
The other dinosaurs didn't need to know that he was referring to Seth. "But why do you allow him?" Dino asked. Hearing his story made her remember the suffering they went through as hatchlings. "Why don't you stop him? Why don't you stand your ground and fight back?"
"Because we're too small." The Velociraptor answered. "Too weak. There's no way we'd be able to stand up to the other dinosaurs, much less Seth. Anytime we disobeyed him, he would get out the lightning rods." Just the thought started to make him cower in fear.
Seeing how terrified the Velociraptors were, Dino and Pawpaw slowly walked up to them. "Stay back!" One of the other Velociraptors told them, but unable to attack them due to fear.
The two dinos ignored them before they reached the lead Velociraptor, who was shaking in fear from the more powerful dinosaurs. "You don't need to face him alone." Dino told him. "Let us help you."
"You'd really accept us?" The Velociraptor leader asked.
"You bet! If they forgave me for helping those Alpha Gang creeps in Peru, the others would gladly accept you three into the herd!" Pawpaw answered, shaking his tail in excitement.
"But we can only do that if you let us help you. We're a herd, and herd-mates look out for each other." Dino said as she offered the Velociraptor a claw. The Velociraptor stood in silence more a moment before he accepted the claw with his own.

Meanwhile, the rest of the clones were still doing battle with the champions and Secret Dinosaurs. Meg was bitting the Clone Mapusaurus from his back, Toro was in a horn lock with the Clone Pentaceratops, the Clone Anchiceratops was repeatedly tackling Grumpy from all sides, Trooper and Lola were both in a tail struggle with the Clone Ankylosaurus, Diamond was repeatedly hitting the Clone Baryonyx in the stomach, and Guru was having his neck bitten by the Clone Megalosaurus.
Seeing her friends were in trouble, Meg tried to leap into the Clone Megalosaurus, But was stopped by the Clone Mapusaurus grabbing onto her tail and throwing her into a wall. "Someone help Guru!" She called out as she got back up and leapt onto the Clone Mapusaur's back again.
"Having difficulty getting anywhere!" Grumpy said as he was knocked down by the Clone Anchiceratops. "Trooper, Lola, why don't one of you two help him?"
"This blasted clone requires both of us to keep his tail down!" Trooper grunted in response, trying to keep himself from being flipped over.
"Don't worry about me! I'm fine!" Guru assured them as he hit the clone with his tail, forcing her to let go, before tossing her away with his neck.
Getting back up, the clone roared in anger before she started to glow. A glow that Grumpy recognized all too well. "Crap! Everyone to me! She's about to summon a meteor shower!"
"How is standing in the open going to protect-" Diamond started to ask before getting cut off by Grumpy.
"Now!" Grumpy's yelling and a shove from Trooper was all it took to get the stubborn Pachycephalosaurus to apply.
As the meteors started to rain down, the dinosaurs all huddled around Grumpy as best as they could. "Grumpy, if you have any plans to stop those things from crushing us now would be the time to use them!" Meg said with urgency as she noted several approaching their area.
"Just watch the master do his thing." Grumpy said smugly as he started glowing himself. "Zero G Throw!" He announced as he started catching and meteors aiming for him and his friends with his telekinesis. "Bet Seth didn't see this coming when he made the clones." The Megalosaurus bragged as he changed to course of the meteors to raining down on the clones instead of them.
"Using the enemies attack against themselves. One of the most ironic ways of defeat." Toro said.
What none of them realized was that meteors were also falling on other parts of the city, including where Terry and Torch were still having their battle. The two of them had separated from another struggle, bite marks now being shown on their faces, when the meteors started coming down. But the two theropods were so focused on each other that they either didn't notice the meteors or didn't care.
But someone did. "Look out!" Ally screamed as she pushed Terry out of the way before a meteor crashed right where she stood, causing her to roll across the ground like a rag doll before stopping.
Terry got up and saw what had just happened. His eyes widened in fear, especially when he saw Ally not moving. "Ally!" He cried as he ran over to check on her. "Please tell me you're alive!" He pleaded.
His response were weak coughs coming from the Allosaurus. "'Cough! Cough!' I'm... fine... Terry." She said as she started to get up. But she immediately collapsed onto her other side and screamed in pain. The Tyrannosaur's eyes widened even more when he saw that her side had been so badly burned by the meteor that he could see red from either her flesh or blood. Maybe both.
"Why'd you do that?" Terry asked her, still confused by her actions. "I could've handled that meteor."
"Still as prideful as always." Ally said before coughing again, this time coughing up blood. "That's one of the reasons I fell in love with you."
"So... you were being serious that time?" Terry asked, tears falling from his eyes from the regret. "Oh, Ally. I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have-"
"Save it for later." Ally told him. "I'll be fine. Just go back out there and kick that bastard's ass." She said before putting her head back on the ground.
"Just don't die." Terry said before turning his attention back to Torch. "Nice of you to let us have our moment." He told his opponent. "If you even think of touching her!" He growled.
"Not my call." Torch answered as the battle resumed.
After a few minutes, the meteors stopped falling down. The dust from the impact faded to show the D-Team dinosaurs standing tall, causing the clones to back away in fear from their attack completely failing. "Normal attacks don't seem to much against them." Meg told the others. "And I doubt a single Move Card will do much either."
"Than we need to attack them all at once together." Guru said as he reared up and activated his Move Card. "Aqua Vortex!"
The others wasted no time in following suit. "Hurricane Beat!"
"Lightning Strike!"
"Spike Arrows!"
"Mole Attack!"
"Laser Ray!"
"Gigantic Fall!"
The clones found themselves getting surrounded by the whirlpool and spinning around before they were either picked up by Hurricane Beat or knocked into the air by Trooper. Once in the air, they were hit by the lightning, spikes, a laser, boulders, and pelting by Meg.
When the whirlpool disappeared and the light faded, all the clones fell to the ground and returned to their cards. "We did it!" Lola cheered.
"That sure showed them!" Diamond cheered.
"Nature: 1, Science: 0!" Trooper said smugly.
"Don't celebrate just yet." Guru said as he gestured to the sky with his head, which still showed a Battlefield going on through the smoke. "There're still a few stains left to clean."

Fighting Pyro again reminded Chomp and Ace just how powerful he was. While he didn't seem to have the ability to regenerate his stamina after breathing fire, he made up for it by having so much stamina to spare. "Cyclone!" Rex called out as he slashed the Move Card.
A tornado formed around Ace before we grabbed Pyro by the tail and tossed him across the battlefield.
"Thunder Driver!" Chomp charged towards Pyro and knocked him into the air with his tail before leaping high into the air and coming down and forcing the Acrocanthosaurus into the ground like an electric jackhammer.
"Hopefully, that got him." Chomp said as he leapt out.
He got his answer with Pyro laughing maniacally. "Ahahahaha! You fools!" Pyro laughed as he grabbed Chomp by the tail and threw him towards Ace, too fast for the Carnotaurus to dodge, and made them both crash into a truck. "You honestly think I can be defeated by the likes of you?!" He breathed fire on the two downed dinosaurs. The gasoline from the truck caused it to explode, making the two dinosaurs fly through the air before crashing by Max and Rex.
"Chomp!"
"Ace!"
"We're fine." Ace assured them as they got up, panting heavily.
"So, you're still able to continue? Good, I don't like it when my toys break." Pyro said as he charged towards them.
"We need a new method of attack!" Rex said as they saw their opponent approach them.
"I think our only chance of doing damage would be using a Fusion Move." Max said.
"Maybe." Rex agreed. "But could just two dinosaurs be able to do it?"
"We're about to find out." Max said as he and Rex got out Cyclone and Thunder Bazooka.
"Together, Max!" Rex said to his friend as they both did their usual poses when using these Moves.
"Yeah!" Max agreed as they swiped the cards. "Thunder Storm Bazooka!" They announced together.
Both Chomp and Ace glowed before they both charged towards Pyro together with Chomp in the front. They both leapt into the air and started spinning, building both electricity and wind as they did so. "Do you really think combining your attacks will defeat me?!" Pyro mocked them as he met the attack head on. "I am much more evolved than you! I am the superior being!"
"You're not evolved!" Chomp told him as he and Ace struggled to force him down. "Evolution is a natural process! You're anything but natural! You're just a toy brought to life!"
"Save your soapbox speeches for the afterlife! Because that's exactly where you're all going once I'm done with you!" Pyro declared as he stared to push them back as the spinning started to slow down.
Suddenly, the back of his head was struck by a large support beam thrown at him. "What?!" He slightly looked behind himself and saw Beta panting heavily.
"When you kill someone, make sure they're dead." She told her clone.
Pyro was about to retort before he quickly realized that the whole thing was a diversion for him to let his guard down. "Oh, shit!" He quickly exclaimed before Chomp and Ace struck his side with an explosion of wind and started electrocuting him.
As the two of them hopped off their target, the Alpha Acrocanthosaurus twitched due to the electricity before returning to his card. "We did it!" Max and Chomp cheered.
Rex nodded at the results before he started to leave. "Rex, where're you going?"
The blonde turned around with a serious expression on his face. "I have a family reunion to attend." He said before running off.

The battle was anything but in Tank's favor. It was next to impossible for her to get a hit on Brontikens. The few times she was able to land a hit on the Apatosaurus were not even with half the force his hits were, and she was positive that he only let her hit him out of pity. "Damn it! Stay still and let me hit you!" She yelled at the Apatosaurus as she swung her tail at him again, which he dodged with ease.
"You can thank Terry for giving me some helpful advice when we fought in Vegas." Brontikens told her. "But enough about me, let's talk about you."
"Oh, brother. What? You gonna tell me that I should've waited for Terry?" Tank groaned in annoyance.
"Oh, you shouldn't even be here." Brontikens told her. "I can tell by the way you're fighting that your mind is focused on other things."
"S-shut up!" Tank retorted, the guilt from earlier returning.
"So I was right. I'm not going to bother asking what happened. I could really care less. All I can say is that this is your only chance. Leave now, and find somebody who isn't an emotional wreck to fight me." Brontikens told the Saichania.
Tank sniffed away the oncoming tears and stood tall. "I'm not going anywhere." She told Brontikens.
"I see you've chosen death. I guess the merciful thing to do would be to get it over with." Brontikens said before using his head to flip Tank onto her back before charging up Spectral Destroy. Tank struggled to right herself, but to no avail. "Don't try to save yourself. You've made your choice." Brontikens said as he fired the attack.
Tank closed her eyes and waited for the end. But before the beam could vaporize her, something leapt over her and landed in between her and the beam. "Shockwave!" A familiar voice called out. Tank's eyes snapped open and saw Spiny summon a whirlpool around him just before the attack hit.
"Spiny!" Tank cried out as the light blinded her.
When the light died down, Spiny was still standing with steam from the whirlpool surrounding him. "Oh my god. That actually worked." He said before glowing blue. "Tail Smash!" He called out as he hit Brontikens on the face with a massive swing his tail, causing the Apatosaurus to fall to the ground with a loud thud.
With opponent down for the moment, Spiny walked over to Tank and flipped her onto her feet. "Are you all right, Tank?"
"You saved me..." Tank whispered. "Even after all I did to you." She sniffed as she felt tears building up in her eyes. "Spiny, I'm so sorry for how I've been treating you! You deserve so much more than what you get! I guess I'm the retarded one." She muttered to herself.
This was met by Spiny smacking her face with one of his claws. She looked up and saw Spiny glaring at her. "There are two things in this world I don't allow. One is pancakes on mayonnaise. The other is my girlfriend calling herself retarded."
Tank blinked a few times as her mind processed what she just heard. "You still want me to be your girlfriend?"
"Look, Tank, I said some things, you said some things, we both said some things that were hurtful to the other. But one fight isn't going to be enough to get me to hate someone I have a crush on." Spiny gave as best a shrug as he could. "I guess I'm just too stupid to hold grudges."
Tears started to fall out of Tank's eyes, though this time for a completely different reason. Before either of them knew what was going on, Tank was nuzzling Spiny with all the force she could muster. "You may be an idiot, Spiny, but you're my idiot!" She cried in joy.
"Stop it! You're making me cry!" Spiny cried in response. This went on until they heard Brontikens getting up. "Damn it. I was hoping he'd stay down." As Brontikens got back onto his feet, Spiny leapt onto Tank's back, the Saichania somehow able to support the much larger theropod. "It's over, Brontikens! I have the high ground!"
"Not from where I'm standing." Brontikens got up and was looking down on both of them.
"I don't mean the literal high ground. I meant the moral high ground!" Spiny announced as he leapt off of Tank as she started to glow.
"Take Dino Toss!" Tank told the Apatosaurus as she grabbed Spiny by the tail and swung him around with Dino Swing before letting go of him.
The Spinosaurus flew towards Brontikens before latching onto his side. Climbing onto his back, Spiny wasted no time with bitting his neck and slashing his back. "Tastes like chicken!" Spiny told Tank.
"Tell me how he tastes after Quake Saber!" Tank's tail lit up before she slashed it across Brontikens' chest. The attack caused Brontikens to collapse on one of his legs.
"Still tastes like chicken." Spiny said as he hopped off the Apatosaur's back and landed behind him.
"Grrr!" Brontikens growled in frustration. "I will not stand for this! I will not be humiliated by some two actor clown show!"
"You'll never beat us!" Spiny told him. "Not when we shift into Maximum Overdrive!" He and Tank said together as they activated Ultimate Water and Ultimate Earth respectively. The two of them slid and charged towards Brontikens from both sides and struck him together.
When the light died down, the Apatosaurus was a glowing card floating to the ground. "Ha, ha! We showed him!" Tank laughed before nuzzling Spiny's leg. "You were amazing!"
"Aw, shucks!" Spiny blushed with giddiness.
The card floated to the ground before getting picked up by Maximus, joined by Gigas and Armatus. "Well, babe, looks like we've got some more volunteers." Tank said as she pawed the ground.
"Do I need the rubber glove?" Spiny asked.
"First of all, eww." Maximus said in response to Tank's comment. "Second, as much as we'd love to fight you, we can't really do that today."
"Why not?" Tank asked, not buying the supposed forfeit.
"Because, it's become pretty clear that we lost since all that's left are Torch and the Velociraptors." Armatus said, revealing that he had the cards of all the clones in his mouth.
"Plus my nose still burns." Gigas winced from the pain.
"What happened?" Spiny asked him.
"Unimportant." Gigas hissed, not wanting to relive the memory. "Just consider yourselves lucky. See you losers later." With that, the three of them took their leave.
"Boo!" Spiny called out to them. "Get back here and fail with dignity!"
"Let them go." Tank told her new lover. "Least now I know that thick-thighs really is a coward."

Seth quickly ran up the stairs to reach the top of a large skyscraper. His Dino Holder showed the signals of all his clones had vanished. No doubt they were overpowered and defeated. It was only a matter of time before they turned their attention onto him. He needed to find a way to escape and lay low for a while to think of a new plan.
He reached the door to the roof and opened it up. He ran to the edge and saw that the fire was starting to surround the building. He grit his teeth as he knew that he was trapped. Things only got worse when he heard the door slam open. He quickly turned around and saw Rex glaring daggers at him. "Murderer." He growled at his uncle.
Seth responded by giving his own glare. "Is that anyway to talk to your uncle after all these years?"
"When they're like you, yes."
Down below, the Alpha Droid army was still advancing. Even with two gigantic sauropods, Zoe and Paris were having a hard time keeping the robots at bay. "Zoe, there's too many of them!" Paris said as she knocked a few Droids away with her tail. "I doubt we can hold them off forever!"
"Don't let up, Paris! The others are counting on us!" Zoe reminded her friend.
"I doubt the four of us can stop them!" Gertie said as she tried to shake off the Droids that were now climbing onto her and Charles.
"Capture. Capture. Capture." The Alpha Droids repeated as they continued on climbing up the massive sauropods.
"Make that seven!" Foolscap announced as he flew towards Gertie. Pulling out his whip, which was disguised as a small, yellow blade, he swung it at the Droids, stabbing many through the chests, making them shut off and caused them to fall off the Seismosaurus.
Gavro flew down to one of the more muscular Droids and simply bashed his head with his enormous fist, resulting in the Droid's head popping out like a jack-in-the-box. And Sheer flew through the mass while tossing her ninja stars at the Alpha Droids, hitting many dead center. "Where were you guys?" Zoe asked Sheer as the pirate flew next to her.
"We were busy cleaning up Droids elsewhere until the Boss and Jonathan took over." Sheer answered. "Figured you could use some help."
"We could use all the help we can get at this point." Paris said as she charged through a large mass of Droids, sending many flying into the air. "I don't think we can stop these robots without an army of our own."
"Army of our own." Sheer repeated as she flew beside Paris, slashing Alpha Droids, before the idea hit her. "That's it!"
"What's it?" Zoe asked in confusion.
"We do have a counter for the Droids!" Sheer said before snapping her fingers. The Space Pirates' ship, which was in stealth mode above them, briefly appeared as several pink blobs started to fall from it and land in front of the girls.
The blobs started to form creatures with human-like structure. They were a bright pink with gray plates on their arms along with matching colored armor on their heads. They only had one eye that was in the form of the Spectral Pirates symbol. "What are those things?" Paris asked, taken aback at what she was seeing.
"These are the Gel Jarks." Sheer answered. "Basically our version of the Alpha Droids. 'Cept not as stupid."
"Can they fight?" Zoe asked.
Sheer responded with a smirk. "Just watch and find out."
Many of the Alpha Droids started running towards the Gel Jarks before punching them in the stomachs. But all that did was send their fists right through the goo robots. "Droid?" The Alpha Droids said in confusion.
The Gel Jarks made some inaudible noise in response before punching the Droids with a lot more force, causing some heads to roll. Not too far away, the Alpha Gang tensed when they saw the Gel Jarks appear. "Grrr! Where's Brontikens and the others?" Ursula asked in annoyance.
"I don't know." Ed said in response. "Maybe they're occupied with the brats dinosaurs."
What none of them noticed was that Nessie was looking down at them from the top of a very tall building. The Amargasaurus chuckled darkly as she looked down at Ursula. "Hehe. Time to die, old lady." She said before leaping off the building.
"Who called me an old lady?!" Ursula yelled as she frantically looked around for the guilty. As she did, Zander and Ed noticed a large shadow forming above Ursula. Seeing what it was, they both screamed and ran away. "Hey! What are you two running from?!" Ursula yelled at them before looking up and seeing Nessie right above her. The greenette's pupils shrunk. "Oh, no." She squeaked before Nessie landed right on top of her.
"That was for all the nightmares." Nessie said as she got off of Ursula, leaving her flattened like a pancake.
Zander and Ed slowly walked over to their flattened partner when they heard something flying through the air. "Hey, Ed, what is that noise?" Zander asked as they looked around.
"I don't know, but it's sounding pretty close." Ed responded.
"-Oooooooooooooooooooooorrrrry!" Rocko screamed as he flew right past them at such a speed that they were knocked over like bowling pins.
From a hidden spot, D.R.O.I.D watched as his troops were overpowered by the Gel Jarks. "No, no, no!" He yelled in frustration. "This shouldn't be happening."
"But it is." Someone said. D.R.O.I.D turned around, only to be met with a kick from Zoe.
The kick was with enough force to send the pink Alpha Droid flying into a trash bin. "Uuugh." D.R.O.I.D groaned as he pulled himself out of the bin. "Fall back!" He called out to his troops, accidentally causing the bin to fall over due to his pain. "Fall back!"
"Fall back! Fall back! Fall back!" The remaining Alpha Droids repeated as they turned tail and ran away from the advancing D-Team.
The trio were all lying in a pile when they noticed the Alpha Droids running away. "Where are you tin cans going? Turn back and fight!" Ursula ordered them.
Ed looked in the direction the Alpha Droids were running away from and tensed. "Uh, Ursula?"
"What?!" She snapped at the short man before he pointed her in the direction at what he saw. A large portion of the D-Team's dinosaurs, having regrouped, were chasing the Alpha Droids away. "Aaah!" The trio screamed as they struggled to get out of the ball of their bodies that they got themselves tangled in, before joining the Alpha Droids in retreat.
The dinosaurs kept on chasing them until they were almost out of eyesight. "Buzz off!" Gavro yelled at them.
"Yeah, yeah! Get out of here, and stay out!" Foolscap added before everyone heard a loud roar of pain. Looking where the fire was at its peak, they realized that Terry was still in his battle with Torch.
At the scene of the battle, Torch and Terry were currently in another headlock. "Terry!" Looking slightly behind himself, Terry saw Max running towards him. "How're you doing?" The brunette asked his Tyrannosaurus partner.
"I'm fine, Max! I can handle this guy on my own!" Terry grunted in response, feeling himself getting pushed back due to getting exhausted.
"Not from where I'm standing!" Max objected as he pulled out a Move Card. "Volcano Burst!"
Terry backed away as his mouth started to fill with fire. "So, you like to play with fire?" Torch said as he activated his own Move Card. "Magma Blaster!" Both carnivores fired their attacks before the met in a collision, resulting in a large explosion of fire that caused both of them to be knocked back.
"You all right, Terry?" Max asked.
"I'm fine." Terry assured his friend as he shook his head to get any stray embers off. "Just a little burn."
"Well this next attack will leave more than a little burn." Torch said as he stared to form a meteor in his mouth. Before Max could pull out a counter move, he was blinded by the light and heat from the fire that blocked him and Terry from escaping.
But before the meteor could fully form, Torch found himself getting pelted from all sides, causing his attack to be canceled. As the fire disappeared, Max saw that Torch was currently being attacked by the Velociraptors using their Critical Block attack. "Traitors!" Torch roared as he tried to get them off of him
"What? Are they helping us?" Max said in confusion at the sudden turn of events
"The answer is yes!" The lead Velociraptor said as he leapt off Torch and landed in-front of Max. "We've had it with Seth's cruelty. And after what the Deinonychus told us, we've decided to help you finish this."
"Thank you." Max said in response, glad they could finally save the Velociraptors.
But the moment didn't last as the other two Velociraptors were quickly overpowered by Torch without their leader were and thrown off like dolls. "That's it! I didn't want to have to do this! But it seems that you traitors have just signed the death warrants of not just yourselves, but everyone in this city!" Torch roared before he began charging up another Fire Scorcher.
"Torch, no!" The lead Velociraptor called out to the Saurophaganax, already knowing what he was planning. "The attack will use up all your energy and cause you to die!"
"Any sacrifice with worth it for the good of the cause!" Torch retorted as he began charging up the largest meteor he could.
Max's eyes widened. Not because of the fire wall that surrounded him, Terry, and the lead Velociraptor, but that fact that this attack could also lead to Torch's own demise. "Can't you stop it?" He asked the lead Velociraptor.
"Not in time, and not without my pack." The Velociraptor said in response. "There's no way we can stop this one."
"No." Max said as he grit his teeth in frustration. This couldn't be how it ends. Not when they were so close to victory. "No!" He said in a louder, more determined tone. "I will not allow anyone to die because of my mistake!"
"You're right!" Terry agreed as he scratched his foot against the ground. "If I let that attack hit then Ally would surely die!"
"You can't seriously be thinking of taking him on!" The Velociraptor leader gasped. "You won't stand a chance!"
"There's only one way to know for sure!" Max said as he got out another Move Card. "It's time to correct a mistake! Ultimate Fire!"
Terry erupted in flames before he charged forward. "You're too late!" Torch told him as he released the meteor from his mouth. "Once that touches the ground everything will be in flames!"
Terry's eyes widened in fear before narrowing with determination as he picked up speed. If he could just get to Torch and card him before the meteor hit the ground then it might disappear completely. But as he continued charging towards the Saurophaganax, it became undoubtedly clear that he wasn't going to get to him in time, especially with the meteor starting to block his path. "Wait a minute!" Terry quickly realized. "He said everything will combust once that meteor touches the ground. Which means I shouldn't get to Torch first. It's the meteor I want!"
With that realization, Terry leapt into the air and took the meteor head-on. "Terry!" Max cried for his friend before there was a huge explosion that swept everyone off their feet, even Torch.
The blast sent Torch crashing through tons of walls and rubble before coming to a stop. "Ugh." He groaned as he slowly got back onto his feet. But just as he did, Terry struck him with Ultimate Fire.
As Terry came to a stop, Torch fell to the ground with a loud thud before returning to his card. Panting heavily, Terry turned around and looked at the Saurophaganax Card land on the ground. "It's over."
From the rooftop, Seth saw the Battlefield colors disappear and get replaced by storm clouds. "No." He said as he realized his last dinosaur has fallen.
"It's over, Seth." Rex said coldly as he walked towards his uncle. "You've lost."
Seth grit his teeth in annoyance before smirking and turning around. "So, now what? Are you going to kill me?"
Rex stopped walking and looked Seth dead in the eyes. "No, I'm not."
"I knew it." Seth said, almost disappointed. "You're just like your father. Unable to take a li-"
"It's not because I can't kill you." The blonde cut him off. "It's because death would be too easy of a punishment for someone like you. I'm letting you live with the knowledge that whatever you and your evolved dinosaurs do, you will never defeat us. Now get out of here, and never show yourself again."
Seth didn't show any emotion and just walked past Rex. "Yes, of course. As you wish." He reached into his jacket and gripped the knife he used to kill Dr. Ancient. "Your Majesty!"
Before Rex could react, Seth slashed his knife at him. He dodged as best as he could, but the knife left a large gash on his side. "Aah!" The blonde hissed as he clenched his wounded side. This left him vulnerable to a punch to the face from Seth.
Rex was knocked back to the edge of the roof and only had seconds to react before he saw Seth's knife come down, aiming for his throat. He quickly grabbed the hand holding the knife and stopped it from stabbing him. His other hand grabbed Seth's free hand to keep his uncle from using it against him. "This is the same knife I used to kill your father." Seth told Rex. "It seems only fitting that it continues to be coated in royal blood." Rex said nothing, only gritting his teeth more and even growling. The two of them struggled as Rex tried to push Seth off of him with all his might while Seth tried to stab the blonde's throat, just like he did to his brother.
Eventually, after what seemed like hours of struggling, Rex was able to muster up enough strength to flip Seth over himself and off the roof of the building. "AAAAH!" Seth screamed as he fell to the ground. Rex looked over the edge and saw Seth lying in a small pool of blood. What was very surprising was the fact that he slowly started to get up, only seemingly suffering a broken arm. He weakly looked up and saw three silhouettes he recognized as the Velociraptors, angry looks on their faces. "Ah, my friends." He sighed in relief. "Please...help me."
"Friends?" The Velociraptor leader chuckled darkly, horrifying Seth at the realization of their betrayal. "I seem to remember him calling us expendable. Do you remember that, Veloci?"
"Yeah, that's what I heard, Victor. Right, Vincent?"
"I'm just hoping he tastes better than he acts." Vincent said as he licked his choppers before the three of them started to surround Seth with teeth and claws bared.
Seth tried to find a way to escape, but was completely surrounded. "No! No, l-l-let me explain! No, you don't understand!" He tried to plead for mercy, but his pleas fell on deaf ears as the raptors got closer and closer. "No, I didn't mean- no! No! I didn't mean- I swear, NO! AH!" All anyone else could see were the shadows of Seth getting mauled by Victor and his pack before Max recalled them to avoid them getting burned by the growing fire.
As the fire reached its peak and engulfed nearly the whole city, it soon started to rain. The rain fell down gently, but it was enough to put out the fire completely. From a rooftop, Spectre looked up at the sky. "Thanks for keeping an eye on us, Seikatsu."
Rex, still clenching his wound, walked down the street and saw Max and Zoe with most of the other dinosaurs coming out of their hiding places. "Rex!" Max exclaimed as he and Zoe ran over to him. "Are you all right?!"
"I'm fine, Max." Rex assured them before hissing when Zoe touched his wound, almost poking it as she spoke.
"This is not fine! Who did this to you?!" She demanded to know.
"It was Seth. We fought on the top of that building." Rex pointed where the battle took place with his free hand.
"What happened to Seth?" Chomp asked as he and a other few dinosaurs walked over to the king.
"He's dead." Rex replied calmly, barely showing any emotion. "The Velociraptors killed him."
"It is an honor to meet and serve you, Your Majesty." Victor said as he and his pack approached Rex and bowed.
"Thanks for helping us." Max said. "I doubt we could've beaten Torch without you three."
"Speaking of which, were is he?" Tank asked. "Me and Spiny didn't see him with the other Alpha Gang dinosaurs."
"He's right here." Max said, holding up Torch's card and Move Cards.
"They clearly have abandoned him." Ace told them.
This made the kids take pity in the Saurophaganax. Even after all he did, he didn't deserve that. Being left at the enemy's mercy so they could escape. If they were anyone else, Torch could be very well on his way to life in prison, or worse executed.
But they weren't anyone else, and they believed that the Saurophaganax was not a lost cause. "Then we'll make sure he finds a home with us." Rex said.
Max and Zoe nodded in agreement. "Yep." Zoe said.
"As of today, he's now one of us." Max said. "One of your subjects."
Meanwhile, Terry walked over to where Ally was lying. "Are you okay?" He asked as he tried to help the Allosaurus up.
"Hurts like a motherfucker, but I'll live." Ally hissed as she got onto her feet. "I don't know what exactly happened, but I already know that you saved the day." She said before nuzzling Terry. This time, Terry accepted and returned the affection.
As the rain continued to fall, Amy and her group lead the others back to the city. But the mood wasn't a joyful as they hoped. The fire destroyed most of the city, leaving many buildings in ruin and hundreds of citizens homeless.
Same feeling was going trough the D-Team as they gathered the cards of their defeated allies. "What's with the long faces?" Foolscap asked as the pirates flew down to them.
"Yeah, we kicked those Alpha Gang butts." Gavro added.
"Yeah." Rod agreed as he and Laura parked their scooter behind them. "But the whole city's been destroyed by all the fighting and fire in the process."
"He's right. It'll take forever to rebuild everything." Max said.
"Maybe under normal circumstances." Spectre said as he walked over to them with Jonathan. "But there are certain ways to speed up the process."
"What'd you mean?" Rex asked, still in pain from the fight.
Spectre said nothing and just summoned a pod that raised him up to the ship. The minute or so later, rainbow colored ripples started coming from the ship. "I see trees of green!" Spectre sang from the ship. "And skies of blue! Red roses too, for me and you! And I think to myself what a wonderful world!" All over the city, buildings were rebuilt, plants regrew, the entire place looked as it did before the battle. It was not just the city that was being repaired. The ripples reached all over the world: The head of the Sphinx reattached to the body, the rubble pile in the Great Wall of China disappeared, the Leaning Tower of Pisa returned to leaning, and the Sagrada Familia was rebuilt from the ground up.
It wasn't just the landscape that was healed, the wounds that Rex and Ally had received, along with anyone else hurt by the battle, healed themselves in seconds. Even the dinosaurs that were defeated in the battle, minus Torch, were released from their cards, looking around in confusion as to what happened while they were carded.
Once the ripples stopped coming from the ship, all the wounds of the battle were healed. The rain that was falling before was replaced with the night sky. Spectre lowered himself from the ship and hopped off his pod. "I believe your home should be repaired now."
"Spectre." Rex said as he looked around and saw the city repaired. "Thank you."
"I'm a guardian. I'm just doing my job." Spectre replied.
"Max!" The kids and dinosaurs turned to see Spike waved at them as he and the other citizens walked towards them.
This was the moment they all realized they had to come clean. They couldn't hide the fact anymore. They had to reveal the truth.
Yet, instead of hounding the kids with questions, or screaming in fear from the dinosaurs, the people actually started to clap and cheer, giving the heroes an applaud that filled the whole city.
Seeing the people were no long terrified of them, Terry decided to show his gratitude by giving out a loud victory roar. This action was soon followed by Chomp, than the rest of the main six dinos, before all the dinosaurs of the D-Team started roaring in unison with a strength that matched the cheers. Max, Rex, and Zoe all looked at each other and smiled. This was only the start. An age of humans and dinosaurs living together has begun.
END SEASON 1
A/N: I really don't know what to say. I can only hope that this chapter didn't disappoint.
I know there are some questions you probably have, and I'll say that they'll most likely be answered next season. I'll only answer them if I can PM you and they're not too spoiler related.
Anyway, since season 1 is now complete, I believe it's a good a time as any to start a fan art challenge. For all you artists, I would really appreciate to see some fan art for this story if possible. I will say that is will all be out of fun, so don't expect a reward outside of getting mentioned in an author's note.
Thank you all for following me throughout the first season. And I will see you all again in season 2.
