In the streets of Sanjo City, many people walked around, doing their everyday tasks. Suddenly, it gets dark like there's an eclipse. In the middle of the street appears a spot light that shines down of Sheer, Foolscap, and Gavro.
Sheer: Hail, your attention I crave! Oh, ye people of Japan. This is your lucky day.
Foolscap: Hail, high and low, great and small! Lucky people of Japan. Someone's coming to call. Take it away, Gavro.
Gavro: Someone who tamed Acrocanthosaurus. Then fought Deinonychus single hand.
Sheer: He's richer than Croesus.
Gavro: He goes where he pleases.
Sheer: And this time he's chosen your land.
(Foolscap proceeds to push her out of the way)
Foolscap: Oh-ho, your land! A-come on no- hehe. Nobody's coming.
Gavro: Probably because somebody was off key.
Pirates: So here he is now with his band!
(The pirates fly off as the light returns and the music starts to build up. A large float appears that is being pulled by Tank with Terry and Spiny standing on it. In the center of the float is a large platform that contains a box covered by a veil)
(Walking alongside the float is Paris, with Zoe riding on top of her. The two of them begin to pick up the pace as the song begins)
Zoe and Paris: Make way for his majesty! Say hey! Hey! Hey! It's his majesty! Say hey!
(Max slides from the top of the float before landing in the crowd)
Max: Hey, clear the way in the old bazaar. Hey, you, let us through! It's a brand new star! Oh, come the first on your block to meet his eye!
Make way! Here he comes! Ring bells, bang the drums! Oh, you're gonna love this guy!
Make way!
Chorus: Make way!
Max: Make way!
Chorus: Make way!
Max and Chorus: Make way!
(Ace pulls a string that opens up the veil)
(The veil opens up to reveal Rex in the box, looking very regal)
Max: His majesty! Fabulous he! Dinosaur King!
Genuflect, show some respect. Down on one knee.
(Walks over to a few disinterested teenagers and trips them into a bowing position)
(Rex rolls his eyes at his friend's excitement)
Max: Now, try your best to stay calm.
(From a rooftop, the Alpha Gang watch the parade in secret)
Max: Brush Up your Sunday salaam.
(Zander and Ed slightly dance along to the music before the are punched in the face by Ursula's fist)
Max: And come and meet his spectacular coterie.
His Majesty! Might is he! Dinosaur King!
Smarter than ten regular men-
Male chorus: Definitely!
Max: That's right, boys!
He once slew ten Alpha Dinos.
Mutant powers, sharp teeth, real jerks.
Who gave those bad guys the works?
Chorus: Why his majesty!
Max: Yes, he did!
Chorus: His Majesty!
His, his majesty!
His majesty!
Zoe and Paris: He's got seventy-five golden camels.
(Many golden camels are carried across the street. One of them accidentally crushing its carrier)
Tank: Where'd we get the money for that?
Zoe and Paris: Purple peacocks, he's got fifty-three.
(Many purple peacocks perch themselves on the float)
Tank: Seriously, how did we get these?
(A large balloon Triceratops gets inflated by Chomp, who accidentally grabs on one of the ropes and gets carried away)
Max: When it comes to one-of-a-kind animals, has he got the zoo, I'm telling you.
Chorus: It's a world-class menagerie!
Max: Wow! His majesty! Wonderful he! Dinosaur King!
Female Chorus: He's essayed quite a parade for you to see.
Max: He's essayed a parade.
So, get on out in that street. Got someone I wantcha to meet.
Chorus: Come on, start kissing the feet-
Max and Chorus: Of his majesty!
(Max starts dancing with a group of backup dancers)
Chorus: Sing hey, hey! Hey, hey! Hey to his majesty!
Max: One more time!
Chorus: Hey, hey! Hey, hey! Hey to his majesty.
Terry and Spiny: Ba-ba-da-ba-da!
Max: Sounding good, fellas.
Spiny and Terry: Ba-ba-da-ba-da!
Max: Hit me one more time.
(Max hops onto the float and starts dancing with Terry and Spiny)
Terry and Spiny: Ba-ba-da-ba-da!
(The two of them continue supplying the background vocals as Max sings)
Max: There's no question that he's impressive. Though his Entourage might be excessive. All those carnivores at once can quite unnerve one.
(Background vocals stop)
Max: Still the guy gives a parade new meaning. And the sight on all those peacocks preening. He's a king without a peer-
Max and Chorus: And we deserve one!
Max & (Chorus): (His majesty! Handsome is he!) There's no question, this guy's alluring. (Dinosaur King!) Never ordinary! Never boring! (That physique! How can I speak?) Everything about the man's just plan impressive! (Well, get on out in that square.) He's a winner, he's a whizz, a wonder! (Adjust your veil and prepare) He's about to pull my heart a thunder! (To gawk and grovel and stare at his majesty!) And I absolutely love the way he dresses!
(The group start to approach what appears to be city hall)
Max: He's got ninety-five white Persian monkeys.
Chorus: He's got the monkeys! Let's see the monkeys!
Max: And to view them he charges no fee.
(Rex throws money to the crowd. Mostly to prevent it all from covering him)
Chorus: He's generous, so generous!
Max: He's got slaves, he's got servants and flunkies.
Dinos: Proud to work for him!
Max: They bow to his whim.
Dinos: Love serving him!
Everyone: They're just lousy with loyalty to the king!
His majesty!
(The parade started to budge at the gate to city hall)
Everyone: Make way!
(The gates burst open)
Everyone: For his majesty!
As the song ends, the mayor is clapping his hands. "Wonderful performance, everyone. But all I wanted was to speak to your friend personally about future events." He told them.
"Don't go spoiling next season." Tank warned him. "Still not sure where we got all these props from."
"Don't question it!" Chomp called out as he still flew over them.

A large number of the D-Team's dinosaurs stand lined up in the lab's training room. In front of them, Toro walks to the center of the group with a purpose, Lola following behind him. He stops behind two pots before he tosses them into the air.
Toro: Let's get down to business to defeat our foes.
(He leaps into the air after them as smashes the pots with his tail)
Toro: Do you think you're ready to face those assholes?
You're the saddest bunch I've ever meet, but you can bet before we're through.
(He looks Thorn dead in the eye, causing him to shake)
Toro: Buddy, I'll make a man out of you.
("Figuratively speaking, of course." He tells the females)
(Lola's tail glows before she fires Spike Arrows at a target, creating a portrait of herself)
Toro: Tranquil as a forest, but on fire within.
(The other Earth Elements just look speechless before Tank just gives up and leaves)
Toro: Once you find your center, you are sure to win.
(Many pebbles are thrown at Toro, who deflects them all without even looking up from his phone)
(Next up is Delta, who is shaking)
Toro: You're a spineless, pale, pathetic lot. And you haven't got a clue.
(Many pebbles are thrown at Delta, which he narrowly dodges, only to be crushed by a large boulder that was thrown by Gertie)
Toro: Somehow I'll make a man out of you.
(Toro swings his horns into the water, catching a fish on both of them. Sushi and Marlin try to do the same, only for Sushi to accidentally grab Marlin and drag him into the water)
(A large machine gun starts shooting tranquilizers at any dinosaurs that are running across the field. Salty was the first to run across the field. He was hit many times, but his armor made it so that the darts bounced off)
Salty: I'm never gonna catch my breath.
(Coal was next, and she wasn't as fortunate)
Coal: Say goodbye to my fans for me.
(Coal collapses due to all the tranqs)
Iguano: Boy, was I a fool in school for skipping gym.
(Iguano hits a punching back, which hits him in knock back with much more force)
(Toro hit Terry with Lightning Strike, causing him to be sent flying into the side of the observation window where he kids were watching)
Rex: This guy's got 'em scared to death.
Zoe: Hope he doesn't go after me.
(Futaba looks up at the trapezes that he's supposed to jump from)
Futaba: Doesn't he know that I can only swim?
(The next exercise consists of the Fire Elements target Fire Canons at a target)
Chorus: Be a man!
Toro: We must be swift as a coursing river.
Chorus: Be a man!
Toro: With all the force of a great typhoon.
(As Sweet Tooth starts charging up her canon, she trips and fires in the wrong direction)
Chorus: Be a man!
Toro: With all the strength of a raging fire.
(The Fire Canon scores a direct hit on Spike, leaving him fried)
Toro: Mysterious as the dark side of the moon.
(An Alpha Craft flys over the ocean to Sanjo City, carrying a cage holding Gigas and Maximus)
Gigas: Time is racing forward until we arrive.
Maximus: Shut the hell up, Gigas, and you might survive.
Gigas: Maximus, are we there yet?
Maximus: No, Gigas, no, we're not.
Gigas: How 'bout now?
Maximus: No, god damn it, Gigas!
(Back at the lab, Toro and Lola watch as the dinosaurs spare with each other)
Chorus: Be a man!
W/ Toro: We must be swift as a coursing river.
Chorus: Be a man!
W/ Toro: With all the force of a great typhoon.
Chorus: Be a man!
W/ Toro: With all the strength of a raging fire.
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon!
Chorus: Be a man!
(The other Earth Elements make portraits of themselves with Spike Arrows)
W/ Toro: We must be swift as a coursing river.
(Terry knocks Toro out of the ring)
Chorus: Be a man!
(Futaba leaps from trapeze to trapeze by grabbing them with his mouth)
W/ Toro: With all the force of a great Typhoon.
Chorus: Be a man!
(All the dinosaurs do the same poses as Toro)
W/ Toro: With all the strength of a raging fire.
(Salty and Coal avoid the darts with ease)
W/ Toro: Mysterious as-
(Iguano knocks the punching back away)
-the dark side-
(Marlin and Sushi both catch fish in each of their claws)
-of the moon!
(Sweet Tooth's Fire Canon hits the right target)
(All the dinosaur burst through a large wall to end the number)

In the darkness of the laboratory, the clones went about doing their own business as Seth watched over them.
Seth: I never thought the Doctor essential. He's stupid, and unspeakably plain. Though, maybe there's a glimmer of potential if used to my vision and brain.
(Seth leaps down from his platform, leaping from platform to platform, before landing on the ground, the clones moving out of the way as he lands. As he walks, green steam starts coming out of the ground. He keeps walking until steam erupts right in front of him)
Seth: I know that your powers of retention are as wet as a warthog's backside.
(He walks over to the Clone Ankylosaurus, who is playing with his tail)
Seth: But thick as you are, pay attention!
(The Clone Ankylosaurus stands straight like a guard dog as Seth walks around him)
Seth: My words are a matter of pride. It's clear from your vacant expressions the lights are not all on upstairs.
(He waves a hand in front of the Ankylosaur's face to prove his point)
Seth: But we're talking kings and successions.
(From behind him, the three Clone Deinonychus giggle)
Seth: Even you can't be caught unawares.
(He startles the three, causing them to fall to the ground before being sent flying by steam vents)
Seth: So prepare for the chance of a lifetime. Be prepared for sensational news. A shining, new era is tiptoeing nearer.
Clone Megaraptor: And where do we feature?
(Seth grabs his cheek like a grandmother does with her grandkids)
Seth: Just listen to teacher.
(When he lets go, the Clone Megaraptor rubs his cheek)
Seth: I know it sounds sordid, but you'll be rewarded when at last I am given my dues.
(He leaps right behind the Clone Deinonychus, who are rubbing their wounds)
Seth: And injustice deliciously squared.
(He kicks the three off the platform into a pile of bones)
Seth: Be prepared!
Pyro: Yeah, be prepared. We'll be prepared. For what?
Seth: For the death of the D-Team.
Pyro: Why, are they sick?
Seth: No, dumbass, we're gonna kill them. And the Doctor, too.
Pyro: Great idea! Who needs democracy?
W/ Clones: Anarchy, anarchy! La-la-la-la-la-la!
Seth: Idiots, there will be a king!
Pyro: But you just said-
Seth: I will be king! Stick with me, and see the world fall under my control!
(The lighting in the room changes from green to yellow)
Pyro: Yeah! All right, Long live the king!
Clones: Long live the king! Long live the king!
(Yellow steam appears and disappears, revealing the clones goose-stepping)
Clones: It's great that we'll soon be connected with a king who'll be all time adored.
(Seth looks down on them from a podium)
Seth: Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected-
(He pulls up a screen that shows their targets: the D-Team, the Alpha Gang, and the Space Pirates)
Seth: To take certain duties on board. The future is littered with prizes. And though I'm the main addressee, the point that I must emphasize is-
(He leaps off the podium just as the room turns red)
Seth: YOU WON'T GET A SNIFF WITHOUT ME!
(The room starts to erupt as floors start to elevate, Seth leaping from step to step)
Seth: So prepare for the war of the century! Be prepared for the murder at hand!
(The platform he's on raises higher and higher into the air, passing the clones)
Seth & (Clones): Meticulous planning! (There'll be blood!)
Tenacity spanning! (Lots of blood!)
Decades of denial! (We repeat!)
Is simply why I'll- (Endless meat!)
Be king undisputed, respected, saluted, and seen for the wonder I am!
(Clone Mapusaurus and Anchiceratops wave around the skeletons of a human and dinosaur)
Seth: Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared! Be prepared!
Clones: Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared!
Seth and Clones: Be prepared!
Ahahahahahaha!

It's the middle of the night when Brontikens walks alone on the beach, clearly in deep thought over his conversation with Terry and revealing his past to his rival.
Brontikens: The stars shine bright on the beach tonight, not a footprint to be seen.
A kingdom of isolation, and it looks like I'm the king.
(Wind blows past Brontikens)
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside. Couldn't stay good, Seikatsu knows I tried.
Ignore the fear. Ignore the pain. No relationships. There's nothing to gain.
Conceal, don't feel. Don't let them know. Well, now they know!
(Brontikens rears up before slamming his feet back on the ground)
Let it go! Let it go! Can't hold me back anymore.
Let it go! Let it go! Turn away and slam the door.
I don't care what any of them say. Let the war rage on.
The pain never bothered me, anyway.
(As Brontikens continues walking, he imagines his enemies cowering before him)
It's funny how this power makes everything seem small
(He stops when he sees Terry standing right in front of him)
And the fears that once held me back can't get to me at all.
(A snort from the nostrils makes the imaginary Terry disappear with the rest)
It's time they see what I can do. To test my limits, and break through.
(He starts charging up Spectral Destroy)
No right, no wrong. No rules for me. I'm free!
(He fires the attack and starts making a symbol on the ground)
Let it go! Let it go! I strike fear into the wind and sky.
Let it go! Let it go! You'll never see me cry.
Here I stand, and here I say let the war rage on.
(Transition to Brontikens climbing to the highest point on the island)
My power flurries through the air and through the ground.
My soul is spiraling in harden fractals all around.
And one thought burns just like a lava blast.
I'm never changing back. The past is in the past.
Let it go! Let it go! And I'll rise like the break of dawn!
Let it go! Let it go! The naive kid is gone!
(He starts staring through the roof as he climbs to the top)
Here I stand! And here I say let the war rage on!
(He rears up in front of the moon)
The pain never bothered me anyway.
A/N: This chapter was just for fun. Please don't take this too seriously. Of all the songs, I feel only the last one really develops a character. The others are just funny shenanigans or completing references.
This idea mainly sprouted from the fact that I did have the idea to include songs in the main story. But the idea fell flat when I realized A: I was using too many villain songs, and B: They would disrupt the flow of the story. But there were ideas I liked, so I made this chapter to bring some of those ideas to life.
There have been some questions rising up since the finale. 1 is regarding if Torch was being kind controlled or not. He wasn't. Expect that to play a part in the next episode.
Others have asked for a chapter where Terry goes crazy and tries to kill Spiny due to JP3. That's not happening. It's stupid.
But the biggest one, no pun intended, was regarding the Black T-Rex's appearance since Seth is dead. I'll be straight about it, the Black T-Rex will still show up. Seth may be gone, but he is not the end of his line, and he will be avenged.
I believe that answers all of them. With nothing else, I'll see you all in December.
