One morning in the Taylor household, Ren woke up shivering. Rex was already up and downstairs. Ren looked at the clock on the wall. It was 7:45 a.m. Ren looked to the window to see it open. Ren assumed that Rex must've opened it to get some fresh air. Since the siblings shared a room, it wasn't a huge mystery if something was touch or moved. Ren went over and closed the window. When Ren turned around, she noticed Ebony wasn't in the room either. She shrugged and assumed Ebony was downstairs eating breakfast with the others already. After a quick change of clothes, all Ren still needed was her signature purple hoodie. For some reason, she couldn't find it. Ren wasn't the most organized person, but she wasn't trashy like Max. However, the hoodie was always placed on the shelf closest to her bed. She ended up looking around the entire room and couldn't find anything. "No, no. no. no. no! My move cards are in there, as well as my stone! I can't fight with Ebony without them!" Ren said. This could just be a prank. Maybe it's something as simple as Rex moved it to get washed and set the cards and stone somewhere else. "REX! Get up here!" Ren called down for her brother. Rex was eating a bowl of cereal before hearing his sister call his name. Ace looked up at Rex. "Come on, Ace. Let's go see what the bedhead and Ebony need now." Rex and Ace went up the stairs. After he let out a deep breath, Rex pushed open the door to find Ren still scouring the room. "What are you looking for, Ren?" Rex asked. Ren looked to him. "You didn't move my sweatshirt did you? You know the one with my stone and my cards in it?" Ren asked frantically. Rex shook his head. "Where's Ebony?" Rex questioned realizing the missing dinosaur. Ren froze. Her heart pounded. "Y-You mean she wasn't down there with you guys?" Ren began to panic. Rex shook his head. Ren began to pace around the room. After passing by the window, she stopped. "You didn't open the window earlier, did you?" Ren asked. Rex shook his head again. "No. Why?" He asked and joined his sister by the window. They both looked outside and were horrified to see a ladder leaning up against the house to the window. They looked at each other before they raced down the stairs with Ace right behind them. Max looked at them as they quickly began to put on their shoes. "Where are you guys going?" He asked. Rex looked at him. "We'll fill you in later. Just follow us and call Zoe." Rex told Max. Max quickly finished his breakfast. "Come on, Chomp." Max said. The Triceratops followed Max to the door where he put on his shoes and followed the sibling duo and called Zoe.

After Zoe joined the team, Rex and Ren filled them in on what happened. "So you're saying somebody broke into your room and took Ren's sweatshirt with her cards and the stone in it, as well as Ebony and we don't know where they are? Why wouldn't they take Rex's too? It doesn't make sense." Zoe said. Ren looked around the neighborhood. "I don't know, all I know is that they took Ebony." Ren said. Suddenly, the dino holder began to beep. "Ren, duty calls, as important as this is, we'll have to look later." Rex put a hand on Ren's shoulder. Ren frowned, but this dinosaur wasn't going to get help without the D-Team. The D-Team walked to the D-Lab. Once there, Reese looked to them. "The signal is in town somewhere along Main Street." She said. The dino holders blinked again and the dinosaur moved as it walked along main street. "Let's go! We don't need the teleporter for this one!" Max said.

The D-Team arrived on Main Street to see an Olorotitan rampaging down one of the streets. "It's an Olorotitan! Paris, it's showtime!" Zoe smiled. Zoe pulled out her dino holder and was about to turn Paris into a card to slash it. Suddenly a boy appeared from nowhere. This kid had dirty blond hair and a standard body shape for a 15 year old. He wore a black tee shirt and standard blue jeans with a brown leather belt with a very familiar device hooked onto it. A black scarf was wrapped around his neck and it flapped in the very light breeze. He also had a familiar purple hoodie wrapped around his waist. "I know that kid. His name is Gabriel Dallison. He's in my class." Ren said. She pointed to the boy. "Ren Hounder, a surprise to see you out here." Gabriel told his classmate. Ren looked at her hoodie that was around his waist. "Where'd you get that hoodie, Gabe?" She asked. Ren folded her arms. "I retrieved it for an old man who said it had something valuable in it. His dinosaur cards and a stone that can make the dinosaurs become real. He said a group of kids have been stealing his dinosaurs from him. I didn't believe him at first until he made a Tyrannosaurus Rex appear in front of my eyes. It was a lot to take in at first, but I understand everything now. You four stealing from an old man? That's just wrong. You know those three dinosaurs shouldn't belong to you." He gestured to Chomp, Ace and Paris. "You've been lied to!" Rex shouted. Max took a step forward. "That old man is hurting the dinosaurs and we're trying to help them!" He added. Ren looked at the hoodie around Gabe's waist. "You stole it from me! You broke into the Taylor's house and stole it from me!" She yelled at him. Gabe untied it and pulled the stone and all four cards from the pocket, Ebony's card and her three move cards. "Oh your not worried about the hoodie, are you? You're worried about these, right?" He asked in a mocking tone. Ren growled. "Give her back!" Ren barked. Gabe put the move cards and the stone back into the sweatshirt's pocket. "No can do, but he did say I'd need a dinosaur in order to retrieve this Olorotitan for him. He also said that I'd need one of these." Gabe unhooked the device from his belt. The device was an Alpha Scanner. He slashed the card in his hand, Ebony's card. "Capture is on! Stegosaurus, let's go!" He called. Ren's eyes widened. Somebody else was using Ebony that was against her. That device didn't have the stone in it. The white Stegosaurus appeared and bellowed. Ren frowned. That wasn't a "ready to battle roar." It was a sign of pain and distress. "Ebony! Listen to me, this is Ren, get that scanner away from Gabe!" Ren called out to her dinosaur. Gabriel laughed. "Oh please! The old man told me this let's me control any dinosaur's even if it was one that you had. Your Stegosaurus is going to be returned to that man after we take down this Olorotitan!" He responded. Ren flinched. Gabe turned back towards Ebony. "Now Stegosaurus, charge Olorotitan and hit it with your tail!" He called. Ebony followed orders and attacked the Olorotitan. Ren sensed something was very wrong. There was no way to convince Gabe that they were telling the truth. Ebony struck the Olorotitan with her spiked tail. Gabe pulled out a move card and slashed it. "Mole Attack!" He called. Ebony roared before she burrowed underground. Ren looked to Max. "We have to do something, but we can't hurt Ebony! That scanner is hurting her enough!" Ren cried out. Rex put an arm around Ren's shoulder. "There's not much that we can do without hurting her, Ren." Rex tried to comfort his sister. Ebony appeared underneath the Olorotitan and flung it into the air. It landed on the ground with a thud. The gray and white dinosaur started to get up again. Ebony charged at it and repeatedly whacked her spiked tail onto the Olorotitan. The new dinosaur turned a bright green light and disappeared with its card in its place. Gabe called Ebony back to a card. He walked up and picked up the Olorotitan card. "Capture complete!" He smiled and readjusted his scarf. He put Ebony's card back into the hoodie pocket.

"Well, lookie what we got here." A familiar older voice said. Dr. Z and the trio were behind Gabe. Gabe turned around. "Oh it's you!" Gabriel said once he saw the older man. Dr. Z walked up to Gabe. "I see you did well capturing that Olorotitan. You may keep it for now to aid you with future captures. However, before we make you an official member of the Alpha Gang." Dr. Z started. Ed popped up next to them. "Which is a super exclusive club for only the coolest of dinosaur people." He said. Dr. Z pushed Ed aside. "Did you succeed in getting that Stegosaurus back for me?" Dr. Z asked. Gabe nodded and handed him the sweatshirt. "The stone, the dinosaur card, and three move cards are in here." Gabe stated proudly. Dr. Z grinned and greedily snatched the sweatshirt. Zander did a little twirl towards the newest Alpha Gang member before handing him a three inch wide, fabric wristband with a red Alpha Gang logo. "Limited Edition." Zander stated boldly. Ed frowned. "How come I didn't get one?" He pouted. Zander sighed nervously. "Limited Edition meaning so limited there was only one in stock." He said. Max looked to the others. "Come on guys, we have to get Ebony back!" Max said. Max, Rex, and Zoe pulled out their Dino holders and their cards. "Dino slash! Parasaurolophus, bloom!" Zoe called. Paris appeared and was ready to battle. Rex slashed his card. "Dino slash! Carnotaurus, blow them away!" Rex yelled out. Ace appeared ready to attack. Max swiped his card. "Dino slash! Go Triceratops! ROAR!" Max shouted. The three horned quadruped appeared and got ready to fight. The Alpha Gang in returned slashes their cards. "Alpha Slash! Gush out Spinosaurus!" Zander called. The bipedal roared ferociously as the opposing side. The atmosphere began to shift into a battlefield. "Alpha Slash! Shake 'em up, Saichainia!" Ed called. The earth attributed dinosaur appeared on the battlefield. It swung its clubbed tail ready for battle. "Alpha Slash! Fire up, Tyrannosaurus!" Ursula called. The fearsome T-Rex appeared on the field and roared. "And now they got one more! Odis, this is our first battle alongside each other, let's make it count! Alpha Slash! Let's mow these weeds, Olorotitan!" Gabe called as he slashed the card. Ursula looked to Gabe. "Ooh! Odis, I like that name." She said. Ren fumbled for her stone, but remembered she didn't have it. "They have the numbers, but doesn't mean we're going to be beaten so easily!" Max said. The two lines of dinosaurs eyed each other. Terry made the first move by swinging his tail at Chomp. Chomp stepped back and dodged the move. Odis lowered his head and hit Paris with his crest on her side. Tank and Spiny rush at Ace. Ace being the quicker dinosaur, swiftly moved aside. Ursula slashed a move card. "Volcano Burst!" She yelled. Terry unleashed some fire balls at Chomp. Chomp didn't have the time to move, so he turned his face away from the fire and let them hit on the side of his crest. Rex slashed a move card. "Ninja Attack!" He called. Ace ran at super speed and circled Spiny. Ace attacked the Spinosaurus from all angles. Spiny turned a natural blue color of light before his card floated in the air down to the ground. "Spiny!" Zander called as he ran out to pick up the Spinosaurus card. Ren tried to sneak around all the fighting to try to nab her sweatshirt from Dr. Z. Gabe slashed a move card. "Thorn Whip!" He called. A green vine sprouted up from the ground and smacked Pairs along her sides. Zoe slashed one of hers in return. "Metal Wing!" She yelled. Three Pteranodon flew from the skies and sliced at Odis with their wings. Odis whacked them away all at once with his tail. Ren looked over Dr. Z's shoulder to see him looking over Ebony's move cards. He had the hoodie on the ground with the stone and the Stegosaurus card on top of it. She quickly nabbed them. Ursula slashed another move card. "Neck Crusher, Terry!" Ursula called.

"Dino swipe! Let's rock and roll Stegosaurus! Help us out!" Ren called. Ebony charged into battle in attack mode and rammed into Terry before the T-Rex was able to use its move against Chomp. Dr. Z looked up from the move cards to see Ren next to him with the Earth stone in hand. "Hey that's mine!" Dr. Z yelled at the girl. He set the cards down and lunged at her. Ren jumped back and out of the way. Dr. Z got up and tried to run for her again. Ren backed up and ran towards Dr. Z and jumped over the short scientist. Ren bent over and scooped up the three move cards and her hoodie. She tied the hoodie around her waist. "No fair! I'm short!" Dr. Z complained. Ren shrugged her shoulders. "That's not my problem." She responded. Gabe slashed a normal move card. "Atomic Bomb!" He called out. Odis knocked Paris over before he jumped into the air. The Olorotitan landed on the Parasaurolophus and stomped on her until the blue and green dinosaur emitted a green light and turned back into a card. "Paris!" Zoe called she went out to retrieve the card. However, she was inches away when Gabe picked it up. "This card's going back to its rightful owner. Odis will take you all down and we will return those stolen cards to their rightful owner." Gabe said and took a couple of steps back before he pocketed the card. Zoe growled. "Give that back!" She demanded. Gabe shook his head. "You stole that card from an old man! What kind of person steals from an old man?" Gabe asked. He was obviously both disgusted and offended.

"You've got it all wrong! We're helping the dinosaurs!" Zoe said. Gabe folded his arms. "People like you always think you're helping when you're actually not, so just stop. Come on Odis." Gabe turned his Olorotitan back into a card and walked away. He looked to Dr. Z. "I'll be at the meeting place when you're done with this to claim your card." Gabe said before walking away. Ursula turned to him. "Where you going? We still have a battle to finish!" She called. Gabe just lifted a hand and waved without turning back or saying anything. When Ursula turned back to the battlefield, Terry landed right in front of her and turned into a card. Chomp stood on the other side. "Terry!" She exclaimed and swooped up the card. Ren pulled a single move card from her hand and swiped it. "Spike Arrow!" Ren called. Energy in form of a purple light shone on Ebony's back and moved its way down her back and to her tail. The spikes on her tail got engulfed by the light and the light shot out like arrows at Tank. Tank let off a blinding light before turning back into a card. Ed picked up the card. "You may have won this time, but we'll get all of my dinosaur cards!" Dr. Z called. The D-Team looked at each other. "They took Paris!" Zoe cried. Rex immediately took off running. "Let's follow that Gabriel person. He's got Paris." He said. The other D-Team members looked between each other before they decided to follow Rex. "They mentioned a 'meeting place.' That has to be where he's going." Ren said. Gabriel turned multiple corners, but the D-Team stayed in a close distance behind the boy. He turned into an alley way. When the D-Team followed into the alley, Gabe was facing them with his arms crossed. "He knew we were following him!" Max exclaimed. Gabriel chuckled. "Of course I knew. You four are the worst sneakers ever. I could've heard you from a mile away! Listen, I don't feel bad taking that Parasaurolophus. In fact, you shouldn't feel sadness. It's not yours. It's that old man's. He misses all of his dinosaurs dearly. I'm simply returning them to him. Now get lost before I make you." He said. The D-Team all took a step forwards toward Gabe. "Paris is mine and all of our friend! We're not leaving without her!" Zoe hissed. Gabriel shrugged. He pulled out his Olorotitan and the Alpha Scanner. "Suit yourself. Odis and I will take you all down!" Gabe said and slashed the dinosaur card. "Alpha Slash! Olorotitan, let's mow these weeds!" Gabe called out as Odis grew to full attack mode size. Rex stepped in front of everyone. "I can handle this. Try to get Paris back." Rex said full of determination. Zoe smiled and felt her heart pounding. "Right." She nodded. Rex pulled out his dino holder and Ace's card. "Dino Slash! Carnotaurus, blow 'em away!" He yelled. The Carnotaurus roared at the herbivore. Ace charged in towards the Olorotitan and rammed his horns into its side. Odis roars and he turns and smacks Ace back with his tail. Gabe pulled out a grass type move card. Gabriel slashed the move card into the Alpha Scanner. "Thorn Whip, Odis!" The boy called out. His scarf moved a little with the boy's intensity. The green, thorny vine came up from the ground. It hit Ace along his side. While this was going on, Zoe was behind Gabe and seen Paris's card in Gabe's back pocket. She reached for it when Gabe reached back and grabbed her wrist. "I don't think so." He glanced back at Zoe. Zoe pulled her wrist free. Then, the girl went quick for the card. Gabe had to turn from the battle to prevent Zoe from getting the Parasaurolophus card. The two had a back and forth match of getting closer and pushing away. This went on while the two dinosaurs fought until Zoe was able to barely start pulling out Paris's card from Gabe's pocket. Gabriel caught sight of Zoe's dino holder and caught her off guard and snatched it. Zoe grabbed the other end of the dino holder and now it was a tug of war. Zoe accidentally pressed the button that revealed her move cards. Thinking quick, Gabe snatched one randomly and let go of the dino holder. He looked over the card. "Nature's Blessing. Heal an ally's dinosaur to maximum energy." Gabe read before he looked up at Zoe. "Keep your dinosaur for now, I'll take this instead." He turned to the fight. He ran towards the battle and hopped onto Odis's back. "Let's get out of here, Odis!" Gabriel told his Olorotitan. The large herbivore slammed Ace to the ground. Ace emitted a bright light before turning back into a card. The dinosaur and his master rode off until out of sight. "Ace!" Rex picked up the card. He looked to Zoe. "Sorry I lost." Rex apologized. Zoe stared at him blankly. "Are you kidding me? If you didn't battle, I wouldn't have been able to keep Gabriel's mind at least half occupied so I could get Paris back. Thank you, Rex!" Zoe hugged the boy. Rex was in shock at first and a small blush came across his face. Rex slowly accepted the hug and hugged back. Ren and Max exchanged grins with each other before they giggled about it. Finally, Zoe broke the hug. "He still made off with one of my move cards." Zoe sighed. Max took a step forward. "Don't worry, Zoe. We'll get it back!" He stated boldly.

At a pier after dark, Gabe stood there with the move card in his hand. It's not exactly what the man wanted, but all the cards are his. His scarf flapped behind him in the night time breeze. "Gabriel, my boy, you still have that dinosaur card, don't you?" A voice asked. Gabe turned his head to see Dr. Z. "Sorry, those kids took it back from me. However, I do not aim to disappoint. I grabbed this from the girl with the pink hair." Gabe said and showed Dr. Z the move card. The scientist took the card and examined it. "Nature's Blessing. With this card you can heal your allies' dinosaurs to maximum energy. If you're going to stay an official member of the Alpha Gang, this might prove helpful to you in the future." Dr. Z said and handed the card back to Gabe. Gabe took the card and put it in his pocket. "Wow! Thanks mister!" Gabe told the doctor. The old man held out one hand while he kept the other behind his back. "Please, Gabriel. Call me Dr. Z." He said. Gabe took the old man's hand and shook it. "Alright Dr. Z. And please, call me Gabe." The boy said before they went their separate ways and disappeared into the night.
