Ren was hanging out at the Drake's house today. Zoe thought it was a good idea to dress Paris up in a cute yellow top and a blue and white striped scarf. "There all done! You look beautiful, Paris. The blue and white striped scarf was exactly the right touch." Zoe smiled. Ren nodded in agreement. "Doesn't Paris look cute, Ebony? You're next!" Ren smiled at the white Stegosaurus. Ebony tilted her head in confusion. Paris didn't look so happy about it. The green and blue dinosaur grabbed the scarf and began ripping it. Before either of the girls could stop Paris, Ebony decided that it looked like fun and joined in ripping the scarf. The two girls stared blankly at the dinosaurs. "I guess scarves aren't for everyone." Zoe sighed. Ren pointed at the destroyed scarf. "Wasn't that your sister's?" Ren asked Zoe. As if right on cue, Reese walked into the room. Ren and Zoe tried their best to hide the evidence. "Hi, Reese! Back from the lab so soon?" Zoe asked her sister nervously.
"Hi." Reese said walking over to the couch and putting her hand down on the spot where she thought she left her scarf. "That's odd. I could've swore I left my brand new blue and white striped scarf right here." She said. Ren and Zoe exchanged nervous glances. "Have you two seen it? A blue and white stiped scarf. Expensive too."
"Sure haven't!" Ren started.
"Yep! Haven't seen any scarves around here!" Zoe added on. Reese looked briefly around the area. "I suppose it will turn up eventually. Keep your eyes open, you two. I'd hate to loose it." Reese told the two before she left the room. Zoe looked to Ren. "Now what do we do?"
Scene change to Rod and Laura playing a video game against Ursula and Zander. It looked to be a battle of birds, and not very fair. "Let's go eagle!" Rod cheered as the virtual eagle swooped down at an albatross. Laura moved her joystick and a bunch of trash got dumped onto the albatross. "All right!" Laura said. Zander looked to Ursula in disappointment. "We're losing again." Ursula pouted.
"That's because we get stuck with the albatross every time." Zander added. The eagle flew up high. "Now let's finish it!" Rod said with determination. The albatross squawked. "Come on albatross!" Zander encouraged. Ursula laughed as the eagle neared. "We've just lured you right into our trap! Albatross, albatross kick!" Ursula said. The virtual albatross went to kick the eagle and missed. The eagle come swooping back around and attacked the albatross. A ding signified victory for Rod and Laura. Just then, Dr. Z walked into the room. "What is all this squawking going on?" Dr. Z hissed. The screen showed an "X" over the albatross and the eagle standing in victory. Rod turned around to face Dr. Z. "Hey, Grandpa, we're playing a new game I invented." Rod stated proudly. Laura nodded excitedly. "So far, Ursula and Zander's team lost 97 times in a row and we even gave them a head start!" She said eagerly. Ursula and Zander were fed up. "That's because you keep making us play as the loser albatross character!" Ursula hissed. Zander pleaded, "Let us be the eagle next time!"
"No way!" Rod scoffed. Laura shook her head. "Forget it!" She added on. Dr. Z looked at his two henchmen and shrugged. "No chance." He told them. Ursula and Zander were heartbroken. Dr. Z then turned to Rod and Laura. "Where is that dimwit, Ed, anyway?" He asked them. Rod shrugged his shoulders. "He said he had to search the internet for some top secret research he was doing." Rod explained.
Ed in another room was sitting in front of a computer. "Yes now I can finally watch Survivor of the Next Super Model in peace and quiet." Ed said, playing the video. "Don't worry, Bethany! I voted for you!" Ed said glued to the screen. Suddenly Laura popped up from nowhere. "Hey! I love this show! Is Ashley still on?" She asked. Ed began having a mental breakdown. "Is this a rerun?" Dr. Z asked appearing behind Ed. Next, Ursula was there too. "That Bethany girl is just rancid." She added. Rod was also suddenly there. "How's that secret research going, Ed?" He asked. Ed sighed. "Well, you see." He started before Zander popped up in front of Ed. He scanned the multiple tabs Ed had opened before pointing to one. "Hey, don't we know that man?" He asked. The tab was a screen of a man sitting on a blanket. The trio all gasped. "Well, who is he?" Dr. Z asked.
"It's the crazy pilot who flew us to Switzerland." Ursula said. Zander growled, "The old geezer who bailed on us at 10,000 feet!" He hissed. Ursula scowled at the screen. "And he didn't even serve us one measly meal." She said. Dr. Z leaned closer to the screen. "Look!" He pointed. The two kids looked confused. "What is it, Grandpa? Are you having one of your spells?" Rod asked.
"Do you know that man, too?" Laura asked the scientist. Dr. Z shook his head. "Not him, look!" Dr. Z pointed to a book full of dinosaur cards in front of the man. "It's a card-folio! It's loaded with dinosaur cards!" He cheered. Ursula had to lean in closer to get a better look herself. "How'd a pilot get something like that?" She asked angrily. Rod shrugged. "You never know, they could be fakes." He suggested. Dr. Z shook his head. "We should at least take a look! Alpha Gang, you have a mission!" He screeched. Ursula, Zander and Ed raised their arms to a salute position. "Aye-Aye!" They said in unison.
Ren and Zoe had arrived at the Taylor's with Zoe's brilliant plan. "You want to go to the Mega Mall?" Max asked unenthused. Rex shared the same expression. Ren smiled and nudged Rex. "Come on it'll be fun. There'd be lots of cool stuff!" Ren tried to persuade.
"Yeah!" Zoe added on. "And Max, I'll even buy you some sort of food on a stick." She said knowing Max's weakness to food. Max sighed giving into temptation. "Ok, I guess." He said. Zoe smiled. "Ok it's decided then!" She said holding up a bag. "These are for Chomp, Ace and Ebony!" Fast forward to a few minutes later, Ace was in a suit, Ebony was a knight, and Chomp was in a baby outfit. "They're adorable!" Ren exclaimed. Max looked dumbfounded. "You got them clothes?" He asked Zoe. Zoe smiled. "Yeah! They love 'em too!" She said proudly. Rex chuckled. "I don't know about that, but they don't hate them since they haven't ripped them off yet." Rex said. Ren and Zoe remembered the mishap with Paris earlier. "That's true." Zoe and Ren said in unison. Zoe looked to Paris. "See Paris, they like them." She told the Parasaurolophus. Paris turned away with what sounded like a "hmph." Ren admired the dinosaurs. "If you ask me, Ebony and Chomp should switch, but then Ebony's spikes would tear through the fabric." Ren laughed and rubbed Ebony's forehead. The metal was definitely a better choice for a Stegosaurus. "Why is it so important that they have clothes anyways?" Rex asked the girls.
"Because we're going to the Mega Mall! You have to look your best when you go there!" Zoe explained. Rex shrugged. "Well I'm just wearing this." He said. Ren shrugged. She was wearing a hoodie and sweats, but the dinosaurs were still looking as cute as ever. "So what's Paris going to wear?" Max asked Zoe. Zoe sweated a little from nervousness. "I'm getting Paris something new when we get there." Zoe made her excuse. "Well, let's get going!" Zoe smiled.
A little while later, the D-Team were on a train. Chomp and Ace began hating their clothes, so Ren and Zoe helped them take the clothes off. However, Ebony loved hers, so she kept hers on. Chomp and Ebony were looking out a window. Suddenly, the mask part of the knight's helmet came down on Ebony and she fell backwards. Ren caught the dinosaur. With a small laugh, Ren lifted the mask part back up. Paris was sleeping next to Zoe and Ace was sitting in Rex's lap. Meanwhile, Zoe was explaining the real reason they were going to the Mega Mall. "So we're going to get a scarf?" Max asked. Zoe sighed. "Yeah. The truth is I was messing around with Reese's favorite scarf and decided to put it on Paris, and Paris tore it to shreds. The real thing is probably way too expensive for me to afford, so I'm hoping to find a knock off." Zoe admitted. Rex was confused. "Why do that? Just tell her what's happened and that you're sorry. She'll understand." He said. Zoe looked to Rex with concern. "Really? Have you met Reese? She's not really the forgiving type." Zoe told Rex. Max coughed. "You can say that again." He mumbled. "Don't you remember the other day when Chomp and Ace were messing around in the lab, and Reese got upset and used confetti dynamite to scare them, so they'd stop messing around?"
A voice came over the intercom of the train. "The next stop, the Mega Mall!" Ren held Ebony in her lap. Ren looked to Zoe. "Well since you're going to be in trouble later, let's have fun now." She smiled hoping to raise Zoe's spirits. The D-Team slipped collars onto their dinosaurs and clipped leashes to them just before the train stopped. Chomp had a red collar, Ace's was blue, Paris's was pink, and Ebony had a purple collar. The kids were walking them and they walked by a robot cardboard cutout. Suddenly, Chomp jumped at it and began trying to eat it. "Chomp, cut it out! Get down!" Max tried prying the small herbivore off of the cutout. Meanwhile, Ace was trying to tackle a giant inflatable. He bounced back into Rex's arms. "Ace, behave yourself." Rex told his dinosaur. Max walked over after finally getting Chomp to stop attacking the robot cutout. "I guess we have to keep tighter leashes on these two." Max laughed. Rex nodded in agreement. "What's that place over there?" He pointed to a building. Max's eyes lit up with excitement. "Is that an arcade?" He asked before taking off. Rex was hot on his heels. "Let's see what games they have!" Rex said eagerly. Ren looked to Zoe and sighed. "Boys will be boys." Ren said.
"Their dinosaurs aren't the only ones that could use a tight leash." Zoe said sarcastically. Suddenly, she dropped Paris's leash. "A jewelry store!" Zoe squealed and ran off. Ren frowned. "Hey!" She called, but Zoe was already out of sight. Once Ren realized Paris was beginning to get away, she stepped on the end of the leash and bent down to pick it up. "I guess it's just us now, huh?" Ren asked the two best dinosaur friends. Suddenly, both the dinosaurs began to drag Ren. "Help!" Ren yelled. Zoe heard the yelp and looked to see her best friend being dragged by the two dinosaurs. "Ren!" Zoe ran to catch up. "Paris stop!"
"Ebony slow down!" Ren said as she struggled to hold onto the leashes. The two dinosaurs spotted a hamburger about to be eaten by a man sitting on a blanket. The two leashes slipped from Ren's hands and she went sliding into the sidewalk. Paris leaped and grabbed the burger. She grabbed the meat and flung it from between the buns. Paris and Ebony began eating the veggies on the inside. Zoe stopped to help Ren up. "Paris! Ebony! NO!" The two girls said in unison, but it was obvious that they were late. "That's not yours!" Zoe scolded the two dinosaurs. The man turned to the girls and smiled. "It's alright." He told them. Suddenly, both Paris and Ebony were rubbing against the man's legs. The man rubbed Paris's head and put his other arm around Ebony. "These two are good girls." He said. "Say, these are two cute dinosaurs you girls have."
"Thanks." They both said in unison. Instantly after, they froze. Zoe was quick on an excuse. "Hey what do you mean? They're dogs!" She said. The man looked up at the girls in confusion. "Dinosaurs? Here? That's silly!" Ren said.
"Wait a minute, are those all dinosaur cards?" Zoe asked pointing at the book. Ren noticed it too. "Yup, that's exactly what they are." The man replied. Ren and Zoe exchanged shocked glances. "Do you mind watching these two for a moment, we'll be right back." Ren said right before taking Zoe's arm and leading her to the arcade to get Rex and Max.
Soon, they were back with the man with Rex and Max. The kids were leaned over the card-folio while Chomp and Ace were playing off to the side, Paris was in the man's lap and Ebony was to his side. "Wow, I can't believe how many dinosaur cards you have, sir." Max told the man. Rex looked to Max. "Yeah, but who knows if they're the real thing?" Rex asked Max. Max looked up at the man. "Well there's one way we can know for sure." Max said. Ren nodded. "Sir do you mind if I take one of these for a second?" She asked. The man motioned to the book. "Help yourself." He told her. Ren pulled a card from a sleeve and pulled her stone from her pocket. She swiped the card over the stone. "Too bad, it's a bootleg." Max said. Ren flipped the card over. "It's a wind type. Here Rex, you should try it." Ren handed the card to her brother. Rex took the card. "Alright." Rex said as he took the card. Rex swiped it in his dino-holder. The full-sized dinosaur appeared in front of them. The D-Team stood in awe for a few moments in awe of the dinosaur. Soon, Rex returned it back into its card. "This one's real." Zoe told Rex. Max looked to the man. "Sir, if you don't mind telling us, where'd you get all of these?" Max asked.
"Well..." The man started. The D-Team leaned in. "I forget." The man finished. The D-Team sighed. "If you were to sell us all of these cards, how much would it cost?" Rex asked. The man pondered it for a few moments. A voice suddenly burst out. "Hold it, you!" Ursula yelled from a block away. The Alpha Gang approached the man's station. "It's the old lady again." Zoe said. Ren snickered. "I'm not an old lady! Stop calling me that!" Ursula snapped. Ed shrank slightly. "Sometimes old is a sign of respect." He told her. Ursula grabbed Ed by his shirt and shook him. "Respect this!" She hissed. Zander stepped behind the D-Team in front of the man. "Excuse us, do you remember us from that lovely flight to Switzerland?" He asked the man. Ursula slid in place next to Zander. "I've never enjoyed a more dangerous flight. The one you somehow forgot to fill up with gas. I'm sure you remember bailing out on us in the middle of the Alps with no pilot, yes?" She added on. The man thought for a moment. "Nope!" He said with a smile. The Alpha Gang stared at him blankly. "Doesn't ring a bell?" Ursula asked. Zander waved his hand. "That doesn't matter now. What does matter now is that we want that card-folio. Name your price." Zander said. The D-Team gasped before growling at the Alpha Gang. "We were here first!" Max said.
"And we were already working a deal!" Rex added on. Zoe jumped in, "So buzz off!"
"Too-da-loo!" Ren snapped. The Alpha Gang squared up to the D-Team. "Why don't you buzz off and too-da-loo. Go home and watch cartoons or whatever brats do!" Ursula told the kids before turning to the man. "Unless you're a worse businessman than a pilot, you'll sell them to us!" Ursula partially threatened. Max turned to the man. "Please sir, don't sell the cards too them, please!" Max pleaded. Paris and Ebony found the man's French fries and began eating them. "No Paris!" Zoe scolded.
"Don't eat his fries!" Ren added on. Chomp lunges at the man's bald head and began chewing on it. "No, Chomp, don't eat his head." Max said pulling Chomp off of the man's head. Ace was running around the place. "Ace, you settle down too!" Rex told the Carnotaurus. The man looked at the kids and smiled. "Don't worry about them. I really love dinosaurs." The man said. The kids let their dinosaurs down. The dinosaurs surrounded the book and began pawing at the cards. "Careful, Chomp." Max told his Triceratops. The man looked at the dinosaurs, then at Max. "He's alright, son." The man said before he looked back down at the dinosaurs. "Looks like they recognize some friends. Here, you kids take the card-folio." The man said pushing the book of cards towards the D-Team. The Alpha Gang were astonished. "Really are you sure?" Max asked the man.
"Yup, seems you kids love dinosaurs the same as me!" The man smiled. Chomp grabbed the card-folio and handed it to Max. Max took it and smiled at all the newly acquired cards. "Wow!" Rex, Ren and Zoe said in unison looking at the cards. The D-Team looked at the man. "Thank you so much, mister!" All four of them said at the same time. A robot hand took the card-folio and it landed in Ursula's arms. "Thank you so much, punks." Zander said before the Alpha Gang ran off with the book. "Let's go!" Rex told the rest of the team as they took off after the Alpha Gang. Their dinosaurs were right on their heels. The D-Team quickly lost the Alpha Gang. They smiled at each other and nodded. "That old lady sure disappeared quick." Max said. Rex took a couple of steps walking around. "She makes good time for an old lady." He called into the crowd. Ren looked around. "I agree, that old lady is quick for her age." Ren said. Zoe called in another direction, "You wouldn't think that an old lady would be so hard to spot!" she exclaimed. Ursula burst out from around a corner with Ed and Zander trying to pull her back. "Nice try, but it's not going to work!" Ursula lashed. Ursula had steam coming off of her. "It worked!" Max cheered and pointed to the Alpha Gang. The Alpha Gang quickly took off again. The D-Team followed closely behind.
They made their way downtown. The Alpha Gang posed as some mannequins. The D-Team stopped in front of them. "Where'd those creeps go?" Ren asked. Ed burped and gave away their position. "There they are!" Rex said. The chase continued until Zander, who was carrying the card-folio at this time, slipped on a banana peel. The card-folio went flying into Zoe's hands. "We got it!" Zoe cheered before the D-Team took off to gain distance between them and the Alpha Gang. Ursula and Ed ran after them. "Good going, Butterfingers, let's go!" Ursula hissed at Zander as she ran by him. Zander sighed before he picked himself up and followed the others. "You'd think tiny dinosaurs wouldn't be hard to spot." Ursula said. Right on cue, Max and Rex were running with their dinosaurs across a street. "There's those half-pints! Get them!" Zander said as the Alpha Gang chased after the boys. Zoe and Ren poked out from behind their hiding spot and walked the other direction. Zoe was holding the card-folio. Unfortunately, Ed seen them. "Hey there goes the girls and they've got the card-folio!" He told his fellow Alpha Gang members. Ursula and Zander stopped in their tracks and began chasing Zoe and Ren. "I hope you're right." Ursula grumbled.
"Quick over here!" Zoe told Ren as they scaled a small hill and she slipped through some bars in a fence. The Alpha Gang was hot on their trail. "Quick before they escape!" Ursula hissed. Paris slipped through the bars. Ren slipped through just after. "Ebony, come on!" Ren told the Stegosaurus. Ebony was trying to slip through, but her outfit was proving that to be difficult. Zander came up behind the dinosaur and grabbed her. "Ebony!" Zoe halted. "Let's go, Paris!" Zoe was about to turn Paris into a card and fight.
"Zoe, you need to continue with the card-folio! This is just time to stall!" Ren told her. Zoe nodded. "Right! Come on Paris!" Zoe told the Parasaurolophus. Paris was hesitant, but soon followed Zoe. "The twerp with the card-folio's getting away!" Ed exclaimed. Ren slipped back threw the bars and with the force of momentum, kicked Zander in the face. Zander flinched and dropped Ebony. Ren grabbed her dinosaur and took off the outfit quickly. Ren and Ebony swiftly slid and slithered through the bars. "There's a gate over there, let's go!" Ursula said. Meanwhile, Zoe hid the card-folio in a statue in the middle of a fountain. Unknowingly on her way there, a card fell out of the card-folio. Ren caught up with Zoe. "Where's the card-folio?" Ren freaked out.
"Hidden." Zoe responded. They turned around to come face to face with the Alpha Gang. "The chase is up, card thieves!" Ursula said. Zoe, Ren and Ebony began to run, while Paris let out an ear-deafening sound. "That sound I can't take it much longer!" Zander said. Ursula pulled out her Alpha scanner and Terry's card. "Go Terry!" She said. In seconds, a full sized T-Rex was there. Max and Rex spotted the giant dinosaur over the trees. They exchanged glances. "We gotta get over there!" Max said before the two ran in the direction of Terry.
"The man gave the card-folio to us!" Zoe lashed at the Alpha Gang. Ursula stepped forward. "And we've come to steal it from you. Wait! What did you do with it?" Ursula snapped. Zoe shrugged her shoulder and avertedly looked to the statue. Ed was the first one to spot it. "Over there! She put it in the statue!" He said. The Alpha Gang ran for it. "Victory is so close! I can taste it!" Zander said. They were only but a few feet away when the fountain that surrounded the statue launched it's water. The Alpha Gang went flying in the stream of water. Zoe pulled out her dino-holder. "Dino slash!" Zoe said as she slashed her card. "Parasaurolophus, bloom!" In a few moments, Paris was in her full size. The city transformed into a jungle. The Alpha Gang landed with a thud. "How'd we end up here?" Ed asked. Max and Rex were just arriving on the scene. Ren smiled to them. "Look Rex, the whole city's gone." Max said.
"Maybe a battlefield?" Rex suggested.
"Perhaps we're in the dinosaur age?" Ren shrugged. Terry launched himself at Paris. Paris dodged and rammed into Terry's side. "Good, Paris! Hang in there!" Zoe encouraged. Terry grabbed Paris by the crest and threw her into a rock. "Oh no!" Zoe said. Max and Rex ran up behind Zoe. "Leave it to me, Zoe." Max said as he put Chomp into attack mode. "Dino slash! Go Triceratops! Roar!" Max called. Now, a life sized Triceratops joined the battlefield. Terry was nearing in on Paris when Chomp rammed into Terry's side. Terry went rolling across the ground. Chomp ran over to Terry and slammed his front paws into Terry's side. Ursula growled. "Go Terry! Take them both down at once! Volcano Burst!" Ursula swiped a move card. Terry got up and flames came from his mouth. Both Chomp and Paris were surrounded in pillars of fire. "Chomp!" Max called.
"Paris!" Zoe called out onto the field. Ren and Rex were about to summon in their own dinosaurs. Zoe looked down to the ground and noticed a move card. "What's this?" She asked picking it up. Zoe swiped the card. "Please, we need your help!" Suddenly, three Pteranodons came out of the card and flew up towards the sky. Both sides were frozen, one from awe and the other in fear. "Where did those things come from?" Zander asked.
"Those are Pteranodons!" Ursula exclaimed.
"They're heading straight for Terry!" Ed said. The Pteranodons were straight towards the Tyrannosaurus Rex and one after the another, hit Terry with wings like steel. Terry fell and turned back into a card. The city came back replacing the jungle. "Hey we're back." Ren said.
"Look who has the card-folio!" Zander cheered before the Alpha Gang ran off.
"Oh no!" Max exclaimed. Rex put a hand on Max's shoulder "We can't stop them now. We should head back." He said. Back at the D-Lab, Zoe frowned at the one new card. "There were so many cards in that card-folio and we only made it back with one. I feel like we've failed." She pouted.
"Sounds to me that it's pretty cool you got one!" Dr. Taylor said proudly. Ren put an arm around Zoe. "There'll be other chances to kick the Alpha Gang's butt and get them back." She laughed.
"You got that right! I'm going to crème the Alpha Gang next time!" Max said full of determination.
"So Zoe, how'd you know that the cards where going to be at the Mega Mall? Your dino-holder responds to dinosaurs, not cards." Reese asked. Ren and Zoe exchanged glances. "Welp gotta go, bye!" Ren booked it out of there as quickly as possible.
