The D-Team found themselves on a soccer team against a rival school. Zoe was nervously in the goalie's box. "How did I ever let them talk me into playing goalie?" Zoe asked. Rex looked over his shoulder. "Don't worry, Zoe. They'll never get past me on defense!" Rex said as he slid in front of the kid with the ball with his foot out. The kid tripped over his foot. Rex pushed himself up quickly and now he had control of the ball. "Way to go Rex! Now Southeast just needs to score a goal!" Zoe said and clasped her hands. Rex passed the ball to Max. Max weaved between a couple of kids before passing it to Ren. Ren kicked it between her feet a couple of times before she needed to pass it. "Max!" Ren said as she passed it back. She aimed it somewhat high. Max jumped and hit it with his head. The opposing team's goalie tried to dive for the ball. He missed and Southeast made a goal. The D-Team's school had won the match and overall, the game! "Nice shot, Max!" Rex told his best friend. Rex chuckled walking up to the goal. Ren was soon by his side. "That's what I call throwing yourself into the game." Rex joked. Max was tangled up in the soccer goal net. "Come on, just help me out here, will ya?" Max replied. Unknowingly, the dino-holders were beeping, showing the presence of a new dinosaur.

Gabriel was once again spending time on Zeta Point. He wanted to grow even stronger, but again, he found himself at another day on the island that definitely was not training. The Alpha Gang were all lounging around. Ursula was reading magazines. Zander was continuously combing his hair. Ed was eating some rice. Gabriel had Odis out in his chibi form and they were both doing push ups. "This is ridiculous! We should be doing something!" Gabriel hissed at the rest of the team. As if right on cue, Dr. Z called for them in the next room. Immediately, everyone dropped everything and went to go see what the doctor needed. Gabriel turned Odis back into a card. When the quartet entered the room, they immediately seen the giant missile that Dr. Z had made in the middle of the room. The four of them just stared up at it. "How do you all like the new missile I made for you? This puppy will get you to where you're going in no time!" Dr. Z asked. Zander quivered in his shoes. "But... if we crash land, it's over." He said. Dr. Z waved him off. "Would I do that to you? Ok, I might, but there is a sure fire parachute to prevent that from happening." Dr. Z ensured. The quartet looked at each other unsurely. Ursula then quickly brought the boys in for a group huddle. "I'll stay here and manage the flight. I'll be behind you on this mission all the way." She said. The boys all looked between each other. "Alpha Droids, help these four onboard the missile." Dr. Z said. Suddenly, Alpha Droids surround them and began to drag them up the stairs to the entrance to the missile. "I'm not booked on this flight!" Ursula said. She kicked in protest. "I didn't pack properly." Zander said. He squirmed to get away. "Well, maybe they serve lunch." Ed said. He wasn't resisting at all. "I don't think so unless you're on the menu!" Gabriel snapped. The Alpha Droids tossed the quartet into the missile. Rod and Laura walked up next to their grandpa. "Ignition!" Dr. Z cheered as he pressed a button. Suddenly, the missile took off towards their next location. "What happened to the count down?" Ursula screeched. Rod and Laura waved them goodbye. "Happy landings!" They cheered. The sibling duo began to walk away. "When did you program their parachute to open, Laura?" Rod asked. Laura turned to her big brother. "I thought Grandpa was supposed to program it." She replied.

The Alpha Gang crash landed in Africa. Their parachute opened after they landed. The quartet crawled stiffly from out from underneath the parachute. "So much for the surefire parachute." Ursula grumbled. Gabriel collapsed next to Ed. "I mean, it did open." He sighed. Ed sighed. "I'm just happy we all survived." He said. Zander looked up. "I wouldn't speak too soon." He said. The rest of the Alpha Gang looked up and seen a pride of lions standing in front of them. They immediately hopped up and began running. "What are we waiting for? Somebody call out their dinosaur!" Gabriel screeched. Unknowingly, they were being watched by some poachers nearby. "Hey it looks like there are some new poachers in town." One of them said. Another scoffed. "Not for much longer." He replied. Zander pulled out his Alpha Scanner and Spiny's card. "Alpha Slash!" Spiny appeared and scared off all the lions with one mighty roar. "Whew something went right for a change." Zander sighed with relief. Zander turned Spiny back into a card. The poachers could not believe their eyes. "What in the name of thievery was that thing? Where are these animals coming from?" asked the seemingly leader of this new poacher trio. "Now that I think about it, that creature could help us catch the other creature. Go invite those four to our camp." He demanded. "If I play my cards right, I could have two rare animals to sell."

The two other guys went up to the Alpha Gang and not long later, the Alpha Gang found themselves in a campsite. "Welcome my new friends to my campsite. My name's Ungaro of the International Covert Animal Hunting Organization." The leader said. Gabriel crossed his arms. "You mean you're poachers?" He asked unimpressed. Ungaro scratched the back of his neck. "We prefer the term 'collectors' if you don't mind." Ungaro said. Ed leaned into Ursula. "Ursula, these guys are crooks!" He whimpered. Ursula folded her arms. Ungaro put his hands on his hips. "Oh and I supposed you're just here sightseeing? You're after that big rhinoceros, the same as us." He told them. The Alpha Gang were suddenly intrigued. Something told them that this wasn't just a rhinoceros. "By that you mean?" Zander asked hoping to hear the word 'dinosaur.' "Don't play dumb. There's a rhinoceros around these parts the size of a small zeppelin." Ungaro said. He held out his arms to sign that it was huge. "The money we get for bringing in an animal as rare as that one, we'd all be millionaires! With the help of that unusual beast I seen you with earlier, we should be able to catch it easily." Ungaro laughed. Ursula raised an eyebrow. "Unusual beast?" She asked. Ungaro smiled cockily. "The one that scared off those lions?" He asked even though it was more of the statement. The Alpha Gang all turned into another group huddle. "So what do you think? See what we could find." Ursula whispered. Zander nodded. "They could help us find the dinosaur." He whispered. Gabriel shook his head. "What if he's after Spiny?" He whispered. Ed nodded. "I'm with Gabe on this." He piped up. Ursula narrowed her eyes. "We'll be long gone before they can try." She said. Ursula was first to break the huddle. The team all turned back to Ungaro. Ursula held her hand out to Ungaro. "Mr. Ungaro, looks like you made yourself a deal."

After the soccer game, Max heard the beeping from inside of his bookbag. He pulled out his dino-holder as was shocked to see a dinosaur had appeared. They rushed to the D-Lab. Ren immediately was glued to the giant map. "It's in Kenya! That's a country in Africa!" Ren told her teammates before climbing onto the teleporter. Dr. Taylor put a hand to his chin. "That rings a bell... I know someone in Kenya." He said. The D-Team teleported to Africa. They all looked around. "Wow! Look at all of this open space! Chomp, you'll love it here!" Max told his Triceratops who was in chibi form along with the rest of the D-Team dinosaurs. Chomp barked happily in response. "It's called a savannah. It's home to lots of plants and animals, so its a great place to start looking." Rex told the team. Suddenly, the D-Team were surrounded by rangers. "Hold it right there!" A voice called to them. The D-Team looked between themselves. A woman was walking towards them. "Don't try to run. We're rangers from the Wildlife Protection Team. Identify yourselves and tell us what you're doing here." She said in a stern tone. Max scratched his nose. "Well, it's kind of hard to explain." He told her. The lady took another step closer. "What are these animals?" She hissed. Zoe bent down and held Paris close. "These are our dogs. Why do you ask?" She told the ranger. Ren picked up Ebony. "See they can be held and they love being pet." Ren said. Chomp barked in order to try to convince the ranger more. "Dogs? I've seen dogs and these are unlike any dog I've ever seen. I suggest you better start telling me the truth and you better start now!" The ranger hissed. The entire D-Team flinched a step back. "We would, but it's a little unbelievable." Rex said. The ranger's eyes narrowed. "You're with Ungaro. You're poachers, aren't you?" She asked. The D-Team's mouths all flung open. "Poachers?!" They all asked at once. Rex took a brave step forward. "How could you call us that? We could never do such a thing!" He lashed. Suddenly, Max's dino-holder began beeping as he began to receive a call. "Hey, how are things going? Have you found anything yet?" Dr. Taylor asked through the other side of the screen. Suddenly, the ranger snatched the dino-holder away from Max. She looked at it closer to see Dr. Taylor. "Hey!" She said cheerfully. Dr. Taylor took a step back before going up to his screen. "Is that really you, Mary?" He asked. Mary, the parker ranger team leader, smiled. "Yes it is! I haven't seen you since the world lasso competition, Dr. Taylor." She replied. Dr. Taylor was broken into tears. "You stole that victory from me." He whined. Mary laughed. "Too bad you lassoed yourself in the final event. Hey, does that mean this is your son here?" She asked. Dr. Taylor nodded. "Yes that's my boy Max and his friends. I see you have all met." He said. Max leaned into view of the camera. "Yea, but she thinks we're poachers. And I don't think she likes our dogs very much." Max said with a small grumble. Dr. Taylor leaned into his screen. "Is this true, Mary?" He asked. Mary looked away with embarrassment. "Well, wouldn't you agree they're a little... strange looking?" Mary asked. She stole a glance over at the dinosaurs. Dr. Taylor sighed. "Listen, Mary. Let's talk privately for a moment.

"Lucky for us, the ranger knows your dad." Rex told Max. Mary was on call with Dr. Taylor while the rest of the ranger team were keeping a close eye on the kids. "Yeah, who knows what would've happened otherwise." Ren said. Mary was focus in on the dino-holder. "Listen, Mary. I can't reveal too much, but I assure you, the kids are there on an important mission." Dr. Taylor told her. Mary looked over to the kids and their dinosaurs. "Sounds very mysterious." She said.

After the call was over with, Mary handed Max his dino-holder. "Here's your strange device back, Max." She said. Max took it and smiled up at her. "Thanks!" He told her. Mary turned to her team. "And men. These animals are indeed dogs." Mary told her men. The D-Team looked at each other and smiled. "Thanks a lot, Mary." The four of them said in unison. Mary continued to look around at her team. They were all confused and walking between themselves. "Men, it turns out these kids are here to help us find Ungaro and his men." She said. The other rangers nodded and smiled upon hearing this piece of information. Mary turned back to the kids and put a hand up to her mouth. "Dinosaurs aren't my department, but I'll help you guys out any way I can." Mary whispered to them.

Meanwhile the Alpha Gang were helping Ungaro catch safari animals with the help of Spiny. Spiny chased a lion into a pit fall trap, made monkeys jump out of trees only to be caught in nets, and lifted up full alligators. They had cages full of animals just waiting to be sold. "That creature of yours really did the job! It caught all of these animals with such ease!" Ungaro praised the Alpha Gang. Gabriel looked to the animals. This wasn't right. "But we still haven't found this enormous rhinoceros you were telling us about." Ursula said. Ungaro smirked. "Oh it's still around. We'll find it again eventually. So, what do you call this animal of yours? If you ask me, it looks like a dinosaur." He told Ursula. Ursula looked at him. "Its ummm a hybrid really. Half Great Dane and half... crocodile!" Ursula said followed by nervous laughter.

Mary took the kids in her open-roof jeep across the savannah. She parked the cruiser in an open and flat part of the savannah. "Wow I've never been in such a big and peaceful place like this. I'm used to traveling from city to city." Ren told the others from her place in the passenger's seat. Zoe and Max nodded with agreement. It was a nice and peaceful terrain. "But then poachers come along and disturb that peace. Right, Mary?" Rex asked the adult. Mary nodded. "Right. They come to capture and sell the animals who live here. That drives them to the point of extinction. That's why most animals here are suspicious of humans and can be dangerous if you get too close to them." Mary said. Max stood up from his place in the back. "Well I think poachers are real creeps." He hissed. Zoe nodded firmly. "Me too!" She said. Suddenly, the entire vehicle shook and knocked Max off of his feet, dropping his dino-holder. "What was that?" Rex asked. They all turned around to see a rhinoceros ramming itself into the back of the jeep. When it backed up again, it stepped on Max's dino-holder. "Gah! My dino-holder!" Max exclaimed. Mary reached for the key in the ignition. "Let's go." Max got up and looked to Mary. "Hold on." He said. Max climbed out of the jeep towards his crushed dino-holder. Suddenly, a shadow loomed over the jeep. Mary and the three other kids looked up to see a Spinosaurus standing in front of the jeep. "It's Spiny!" Ren exclaimed. Rex's eyes narrowed. "The Alpha Gang." He hissed. Max picked up his dino-holder. "My dino-holder is totally busted! Sorry guys, but I can't get Chomp to his big size. I'll have to sit out on this fight." Max admitted. Chomp whined while sitting on the floor of the vehicle. "Then Ace, it's up to us. Ready?" Rex asked his dinosaur. Ace barked. Rex turned his Carnotaurus into a card. "Dino Slash! Carnotaurus, blow them away!" Rex cheered as Ace grew to his attack mode size. Mary blinked a few times. "That's actually amazing!" She exclaimed. Ace ran towards the Spinosaurus. Spiny swung his tail at Ace, but Ace easily jumped over it.

The Alpha Gang were approaching the battle with Ungaro. "Come on, Spiny, that puny dinosaur isn't any match for you!" Ursula called. Mary looked over to the approaching vehicle. "Ungaro!" Mary hissed and narrowed her eyes. Ungaro flinched. "Ah! The ranger!" He exclaimed. Ren pointed to the Alpha Gang. "The old lady's with him!" She said. Ursula shook her fists as Zander, Ed and Gabriel held her back. "Can't I just do one job without you mini meddlers messing it up?!" Ursula scowled. Chomp hopped onto the dashboard and barked at the Alpha Gang. "That tiny one looks like a miniature of the giant rhinoceros we found. Maybe they're related." Ungaro said. Chomp growled at the poacher and the Alpha Gang.

Meanwhile, Ace roared as he charged at Spiny again. He leaped up with mouth open, hoping to latch his teeth into Spiny's side. Spiny turned and whacked Ace away with his tail. Ace landed harshly on the ground. Chomp raced after the Carnotaurus, wanting to protect his best friend. "Chomp, no!" Max called after the Triceratops. Gabe raised an eyebrow. "Wouldn't it make more sense for him to make his Triceratops full size?" He asked. Ed nodded. "I'm surprised he didn't do that before sending it into battle." Ed said. Ursula put her hands on her hips and laughed. "That's not showing us any respect at all. So, smash that kid and his little runt too!" Ursula said and pointed at Max. Max picked the small Triceratops up. "I know you want to fight them, Chomp, but you can't." Max said glaring up at the Alpha Gang. Spiny roared before he began to charge at Max. Chomp hopped down from Max's arms and barked. "Max!" Both Zoe and Ren called out to him. Suddenly, another dinosaur rushed into the battle and rammed its crest into Spiny's side, sending the Spinosaurus flying. "A Torosaurus!" Zoe exclaimed. The D-Team kids all were now out of the jeep and standing together. Max looked at the other kids. "Do you think it heard Chomp and came to save him?" Max asked. The battle caught the kids' attentions. Ace leaped on top of Spiny repeatedly. "Yeah Ace! That's the way to do it! Woohoo!" The kids cheered. Unknowingly, the Torosaurus began walking away and Chomp followed it. Ursula growled in anger. "Get back on your feet Spiny!" She lashed before turning to Zander. "Don't just stand there, use a move card!" She commanded. Zander nodded and pulled out a water move card. "Right. Shockwave!" He called. Spiny roared before he surrounded himself with multiple ropes of water. He lashed them out towards Ace. Ace dodged swiftly. "There's no way!" Gabriel exclaimed. Ursula was fuming. "No one's fast enough to dodge that attack!" She yelled. Rex smirked. "Ace is!" He cheered. Ed tapped Ursula's shoulder. "We have a problem." He piped up. Ursula turned towards Ed. "What is it now?" She hissed out the question. Ed pointed to where the Torosaurus used to be. "The Torosaurus got away." He said. Ursula followed his finger and seen that he was right. "Where did it go? Zander, locate that thing!" She demanded. Zander nodded and turned Spiny back into a card. The Alpha Gang climbed back into Ungaro's jeep. "Follow the Torosaurus and step on it now." Ursula commanded Ungaro. Ungaro's eyes were wide open. "So these are all dinosaurs after all!" Ungaro said as he began to floor it. "Fantastic! We're talking real money now!" He cheered.

Rex turned Ace back into a card before resummoning him into his chibi form. "I can't believe it's an actual dinosaur! No wonder why Dr. Taylor made me promise to keep this a secret." Mary told the kids. Mary knelt down back the now small Carnotaurus. Max looked around. "Where did Chomp go?" He asked. The other kids began to look around to look for the small Triceratops, but none of them seen him. "Chomp! Come here!" Max called out into the open with his hands cuffed around his mouth. Ren and Zoe looked between each other. "Do you think he could've went off with Torosaurus?" Zoe asked. Ren put a hand to her chin. "It's a possibility." came Ren's reply. Max tried to open the cavity in his dino-holder where the stone lies. "If I could just get this open, I could call him back to his card." Max said. He tried as hard as he could to pry it open, but to no avail. "Forget that, the Alpha Gang is after Torosaurus. If Chomp's with it, they'll get to both of them before we could get that thing open." Ren said. Max looked from her to the ranger. Mary nodded. "I'll take you to where you need to go." She told them.

Chomp and Torosaurus were drinking from a pond when suddenly, a roar broke out over the tree tops from behind them. Chomp and Torosaurus turned around to be faced with an Olorotitan. Torosaurus nudged Chomp aside as if to tell him to stay back. "We got you now." Gabriel said. He held his Alpha Scanner in his hand. "Look there's the brat's Triceratops too!" Ed said pointed at Chomp. Zander smiled. "It's like a two for one special." He smirked. Ungaro smiled happily. "Yes this will be the big one! I'll make the poacher hall of fame for sure!" He cheered. Ungaro laughed evilly. Gabriel didn't like the feeling of helping out a poacher, but it meant retrieving the dinosaur. There wasn't any way to do it without teaming up with the poacher. "Let's go, Odis. Turn that Torosaurus into a card quick." He said. Odis charged the Torosaurus. His crest collided with the Torosaurus's forehead right between the horns. Torosaurus threw him off. "Chomp!" Max called as the D-Team was approaching the view. The ranger's jeep skidded to a halt and threw Max off over the side. "Paris, it's our turn." Zoe said as she pressed some buttons on her dino-holder to turn Paris back into a card. "Go! Dino slash! Parasaurolophus, bloom!" Zoe called as she slashed her card. Paris appeared on the battle field in full size and was ready to aid Torosaurus. "Bring Spiny out to deal with this one." Ursula told Zander. Zander pulled out his Alpha Scanner. "One Spinosaurus coming right up!" Zander said as he slashed Spiny's card. The Spinosaurus was now on the battlefield. "Aw man, I really wish I could bring out Chomp." Max said. Mary stared in amazement at the dinosaurs. "I can't believe what I'm seeing!" She exclaimed. Spiny made the first moved and rushed towards Paris and knocked her over. Paris recovered quickly before she began to charge at Spiny. Torosaurus charged with its head down at Odis. The two pairs of dueling dinosaurs collided and all four dinosaurs got pushed back. Paris whacked Spiny with her tail multiple times until her tail sent him flying into the air. Spiny landed in a pool of water nearby. Odis charged at Paris to seek revenge for his comrade. Torosaurus came over and stroke Odis's side with his horns. Odis turned and smacked Torosaurus with his tail and sent him flying. Torosaurus landed heavily in front of Chomp, and the vibration from the ground made Chomp flying up into the air like he was on a trampoline. Ungaro was there ready to catch Chomp. "Oh yeah, you're mine now little fella!" He smirked. The D-Team all looked over and their pupils shrank with horror. Mary pulled out a lasso and roped Chomp. "Not today, Ungaro!" She said as she pulled Chomp away from the poacher. Chomp went flying towards Max, who caught the Triceratops effortlessly. Chomp jumped down from Max's arms down to his broken dino-holder. The Triceratops used its horn to pop open the compartment the stone's held in. Ren rushed over to them and picked up the stone. She handed it to Max. "These things are extremely complicated. I hope you know what you're doing, Max." Ren said. Max looked at the stone before he handed it to Ren. "Then maybe you should summon Chomp." He said. Ren looked at him. "I could just summon Ebony, you know." Ren asked. She waited an extra moment before snatching the lightning stone. "But who am I kidding? Thanks Max." Ren said. Max handed her his move cards. She looked down to Chomp. "You ready?" She asked. He barked with approval. Ren turned Chomp into a card. "Dino swipe! Go Triceratops! ROAR!" She called out as she ran the card over the surface of the stone. Chomp appeared in attack mode. Ren smiled and did a little dance. "That was fun. I've never realized how much I wanted to say that." She smiled.

Odis was continually smacking Torosaurus with his tail. All of a sudden, Chomp ran over and sent the Olortitan flying. Mary pulled out her lasso again and roped Ungaro while his attention was focused on the battling dinosaurs. "It's all over, Ungaro!" Mary said confidently. Spiny was back on land and tried to bite down on Paris's neck. Paris dodged swiftly. Zoe held up her dino-holder and a green light emitted from it. She picked a move card and slashed it. "Metal Wing!" She called. Three Pteranodons flew from the sky and hit Spiny with their wings. The last one knocked Spiny to the ground. He glowed blue before shrinking into his card. Zander rushed out to pick up the card. "Odis, there's no way Torosaurus could stand another attack! Give it all you got!" Gabriel told his Olorotitan. Odis charged at Chomp and Torosaurus again. The two lightning attributed dinosaurs were standing side by side. Ren flipped through Chomp's move cards before selecting one. "Alright, Chomp! Lightning Strike!" She called as she moved the card over the surface of the stone. Suddenly, not only Chomp began to use the attack, but so did Torosaurus. "Wait, both of you are using it? That's not fair!" Ursula snapped. The D-Team kids except for Ren looked between each other and smiled. They already knew who won before the battle was over. The two electro-dinos' attack fused into a mega fusion Lightning Strike. The attack hit Odis and he almost immediately turned back into a card. Max ran up to Ren as she turned Chomp back into his chibi form. "Ren, you and Chomp were awesome!" He told her as his Triceratops jumped into his arms. Ren gave Max his stone and his move cards back. Torosaurus walked over and nuzzled Chomp. Suddenly, the big dinosaur wavered on its feet before it collapsed and turned back into a card. Ren picked it up.

"That's totally cheating! You can't have two dinosaurs use the same attack at once!" Ursula hissed at the D-Team. Max put an arm around Ren. "That's teamwork!" He called back. Ren smiled. The Alpha Gang began to blame each other for whose fault it was for losing. Suddenly, Paris used her special calling system to call a bunch of African animals to stampede in the way of the Alpha Gang. The Alpha Gang ran right over the edge of a cliff. They landed in a river and clutched onto a log for floatation. "Hey do you guys hear that?" Gabriel asked. He looked between the other members. "The only other time I've heard water like that was..." Ursula trailed off as the log went over another edge. "A WATERFALL!" The quartet exclaimed.

The D-Team were now at Ungaro's camp helping to free the animals he has captured. "I'm glad we can held these animals return to their families." Zoe said. Mary nodded. "Hopefully now they can finally have some peace around here. You know, we have pretty similar jobs at protecting animals." Mary told the kids. They all nodded with agreement. "Yeah, and Dr. Z's like a poacher." Max said. Mary tilted her head at him. "Dr. Z?" She asked. The kids just laughed as they knew the joke. "Anyways, these animals need you, Mary. Promise us that you'll keep on helping them." Rex told her. Mary looked at him and smiled. "I sure will. I'm not going anywhere. You keep helping the dinosaurs." She said. The D-Team nodded. "We will!"
