Chapter 2

Prehistory in the re-making Part 2

Elsewhere over the Atlantic Ocean that same night, in a laboratory on a certain island, something sinister was taking place. In its' lower levels, a man in a thick trench coat, Seth, was busy observing a purple stegosaurus inside a tank screeching in agony as various electrical shocks were being sent throughout its body from a laser hanging at the ceiling of the room. After several consecutive shocks the large armoured herbivore turned back into a card which fell gently to the ground. Despite that, Seth seemed rather pleased with the results he had acquired from that test.

Switching on to a camera, "Lab report 311, experimentation at 50% success. The subject's endurance levels have doubled at best though potential for even greater growth is still plausible." He stated as he finished his recording before taking out an Earth move card, "If the dinosaur can be made stronger perhaps the same can be said for its moves as well." He said to himself thinking what his next test would be, "Should I make the move itself stronger or perhaps reduce the move's recovery time?" He then thought to himself while weighing the costs and benefits of each experiment as well as deciding which would have more priority over the other. Regardless, there were endless possibilities for him and the new breed of dinosaurs he would one day bring to the world and he would be the one to usher in this very new age as he smirked to himself.

After that he switched over to another monitor to find a pair of siblings asleep in bed though not peacefully. Both children were dressed in warm pyjamas under thick wool blankets in their rooms with Icepacks over their heads and a rather large housemaid had just entered their room with a bowl of warm chicken soup. While Seth was pleased with Rod and Laura's recent efforts at acquiring him the new stegosaurus from Cambodia, he also was rather disappointed they would fall sick so easily to a few measly mosquito bites, though he then realised his expectations may have been a little too high, coming from young children, which made him feel a bit more sympathetic for them, "Perhaps I should make sure they are both properly equipped and prepared the next time I send them to capture dinosaurs in more hostile environments..." he thought to himself seeing them sleeping in bed, also making note of it so he wouldn't repeat the same mistake again. After that he went back to his research and experiments without a backward glance at the 2 children.

Meanwhile in another room, a large bedroom to be precise, things were going the same as usual for a certain trio of the Alpha gang, and by usual it meant really really awful...

"Bleach! Ptooi!" Cries Dr. Z as he spat back a mouthful of disgusting paste back into a bowl of black slimy mush. He then glared at Ursula, Zander and Ed who were in his bedroom before him as they both gasped, "That was the worst thing I ever put in my mouth! Just what were you 3 clods trying to make eat!?" He demanded while they sweated nervously.

"W...why it's a new health pudding we cooked up just for your dinner Dr Z..." squeaked Zander as he clapped his hands together.

"Yeah, made from magnesium and potassium rich foods," added Ed twiddling his fingers together, "Yams, potatoes, bananas and even a touch of ginger root! Making it perfect for relieving tension and not to mention it's 100% healthy!"

Finally Ursula, the leader of the bumbling trio, put on the biggest loving smile of all, "We made it just for you from the bottom of our generous hearts. Now come on tell us, no need to be shy now doctor, tell us how much you love us..." as she said that her 2 underlings shared the same bright smiles of hope as she did. As they opened their eyes eagerly to receive praise in return for their efforts, they were met with the exact opposite of what they expected.

"Are you nincompoops trying to poison me!?" Screamed Dr. Z furiously as he grabbed the entire bowl off his bed and flung it straight at the trio catching them off guard!

"Gaaah!" They screamed in horror as they leapt out of the way as the bowl smashed against the back wall and their hard efforts gone to waste as it slid down the wall to the ground.

"That batch of sewage will ruin me long before my back gets any better!" Dr. Z continued to rant shaking his fists while lying in bed wearing several pink beard Ribbons and Dino pjs.

"B...but Dr. Z...we deserve at least an A for effort right?" quivered Zander.

"Y…Yeah I mean it's the thought that counts right?" Asked Ursula rather nervously as the 3 got back together and crossed their fingers hoping for at least some sort of consolation prize, though unfortunately for them their string of bad luck had no intention of ending anytime soon.

"Out of the question! If it wasn't for his back of mine I would have shoved down every scrap of that mouldy mush down your measly little throats!" Dr. Z screeched shaking his fist with widened reddish eyes which made them all jump.

"Eeeek!"

He then shot them all a piercing scowl, "You 3 clods are just as capable at taking care of me as collecting dinosaur cards, and by that I mean completely incapable!" He growled before gasping for air from exhaustion as the trio's hearts raced uncontrollably.

"C...can we be excused now Dr. Z?" Squeaked Ursula pointing towards the back door.

"Th...that's right? I mean it's clear you want to be alone now right? No need for us to bother you anymore." Asked Zander shaking anxiously.

"Unless of course you want us to do something else for you instead?" Added ed, which awarded him some angry hissing from his 2 friends.

"Ed..." they glared at him which made him cover his head with his hands.

"Eek..." He squeaked.

"Tch!" Dr Z spat in disgust still trying to get the bad taste out of his mouth before looking around the room, "Where's Helga!? I asked her to come give me a back rub 5 minutes ago! Why hasn't she shown up yet!? And why am I stuck with you 3 in the first place!?" He yelled in frustration.

"Oh Helga? We actually passed by her just now." Said Ursula in response.

"Oh yeah that's right! She went over to take care of Rod and Laura who are sick in bed now." added Zander.

Dr Z's ears perked up and he blinked, "Say what?" he asked raising an eyebrow.

"She said something about them catching a fever due to a bug bite or something," continued Ed twiddling his fingers, "Then after that she forced all her usual duties onto us, which is why we're here taking care of you right now in her place."

Dr. Z then held his hands up to his face in shock as his eyes widened, "Gasp! My own grandchildren sick!? How can this be!?" He gasped as he jumped up on his feet to the surprise of the Alpha trio, "Don't worry children! Your grandfather is about to-" suddenly a loud cracking sound echoed through the room, its' source became known to everyone in the room as Dr Z's face tightened and cringed with pain.

CRACK!

"Ack!" Dr. Z croaked as his back ache rendered him immobile once more as he fell backward right on his bed again as the trio gathered around him with concern.

"A...anything else Dr. Z?"

"We're here for you always..."

"Say the word and your wish is our command!" His faithful minions said to him in unison.

Dr. Z then grit his teeth furiously and screamed his head off, "Gargh! You idiots have given me enough trouble for one day! Get out now this instant! Get out! Get out!" He screamed throwing a barrage of pillows in their faces which smacked dead on!

"Aaaaaaah! Yes sir doctor sir!" They all cried as they beat a hasty retreat out of his room! Despite being soft Dr Z sire had a lot of strength being so small, so each pillow felt like it was filled with bricks rather than feathers as they made contact!

A little while later the 3 stooges limped into the alpha gang living room as they each slouched over on the couches and chairs to catch their breath, panting deeply with exhaustion, "Phew...a second longer and we would have come out dressed like chickens..." muttered Zander falling face flat on the seat of a chair.

"I wouldn't mind, at least I can eat myself and not feel any regret about it..." added ed feeing hungry himself, rubbing his huge belly while lying down on the couch.

A tic mark then sprouted on Ursula's forehead as she stood up and placed both her hands on her hips, fed up with being disrespected for the last time! "Grrgh! Will you both get your heads screwed on straight!?" She growled before taking her anger and frustration on the guy nearest to her, "Ed this is all your fault! It was you who told us to make that disgusting mush in the first place! Now Dr. Z is going to put us through more trouble than ever thanks to you!" she yelled pointing to him as his heart skipped a beat!

"B...but it was supposed to be a guarantee fix for bad backs!" The poor boy whimpered as the lady glared at him menacingly, "I thought if we mix together the best health foods of all it'll cure any kind of ailment in no time!" He added trying to protect himself.

"And just who gave you that bright idea?" Ursula then asked raising her eyebrow.

"I looked it up on the internet, and the internet never lies?" he replied, as he began receives various sweat drops or 'are you serious?' expressions from his friends.

"Tch! You've got to be kidding me..." sighed Zander shaking his head in dismay before slouching back into depression, "Now Dr Z's madder than a bull in a china shop, just when we try to do something good for a change it bites us in the butt..." he mumbled through the seat cushion on the chair.

"Life just isn't fair is it? One minute you're at the top of the world and next thing you know you're in the down in the dumps…." Sighed Ed after that losing all motivation and slumping down, "If only there was something we could do to cheer him up and get us back on his good side again like before..." he said moping about the good old days when they were all growing up under his care, when he was actually nice for once, before dinosaurs came into their lives, now it seemed the kind man they knew was no more…..

"Yeah...keep dreaming you two..." gleaned Ursula who pretty much was questioning her purpose in life before suddenly brightening up with hope! "Ah! You guys! I just got the most brilliant and full proof idea of all!" She cheered as she jumped up full of energy and an idea lit up in her head, while her 2 underlings looked up at her uneasily.

"Oh boy, Ursula's got an idea..."

"And that's never a good thing..." they each said, as she overheard them and pouted.

"Oh just cut me some slack will you? Have I ever steered you wrong before?" She then asked while wearing a rather jolly smile and clasping her hands together.

They looked to each other in thought, "Should we answer her Zander?" Ed whispered.

"Better not ed, bad idea..." he replied shaking his head.

Noticing their lack of faith in her she then snarled and smashed their heads together, "How dare you!?"

Bang!

"YOW!" they helped as 2 huge bumps swelled on their foreheads and they whimpered like a pair of dogs covering their sore spots, "What did we ever do?" They both groaned before passing out on the ground with stars over their heads.

"Never mind..." Ursula replied with annoyance rubbing her temple before eying them both seriously, "Listen I have an idea that is guaranteed to put us back on the fast track to promotions and rewards, which will also both show up both those pipsqueaks Rod and Laura and make us look good! So are you with me or are you with me!?" She then demanded.

As they both looked up at her they looked to one another, "Do we even have a choice Zander?" Asked Ed.

"No Ed, we never do…..might as well go along with it..." his friend replied as they decided to at least hear her out.

"Good, glad you guys are on the same boat." She replied with a smile, "First off, a pop quiz. What does Dr. Z love most of all?"

"Ummm…." both men scratched their chins before answering.

"Making things explode?"

"Giving us a good thrashing?"

Ursula then face palmed in response, "No you dummies, it's adding new dinosaurs to his dinosaur kingdom!" She growled, "And what better new dinosaurs to add to his collection than those belonging to those bratty kids in the d team!?" she suggested with a sneaky grin.

What she said completely baffled the imaginations of the other 2, "Say what!?"

"I knew she was crazy but I didn't think insane!"

"I'm serious you two," She said to them, "Use your heads, if we bring Dr. Z the very dinosaurs who have been causing us all this trouble in the first place imagine how much he'd reward us for years to come!" She suggested as the 2 buffoons blinked in surprise, "See where I'm going? He'll be so grateful for us ending the bane of his very existence for him, he'll be rewarding us so much we may even have plenty money leftover to spare when we're retired!" She continued with a sinister grin while rubbing her palms, "Plus with Rod and Laura now sick as dogs and out of the picture, this is out chance to rub it in their faces and get back on Dr Z's good side too! Also with the brats unable to do anything to stop us anymore, it's basically 3 birds with 1 stone! Ahahahaha! Sometimes I even amaze myself..." she laughed to herself while indulging herself in several fantasies where she was walking over the defeated D team like a ruled out red carpet, for calling her old lady so many times, and receiving Dr z's generous rewards while Rod and Laura were crying in the background.

Both Ed and Zander then dropped their jaws in amazement, "You know Ed...I can't be leave I am saying this but...she actually does make a good point..."

"Yeah...who would've thought she'd come up with a big picture plan like that..." Ed added in agreement.

"Excuse me?" She then narrowed her eyes at them after hearing what sounded like an insult.

They then shook their hands out, "N...no no! We were just amazed at how well thought out your idea was!" Said Zander while Ed nodded frantically.

"Ohohoho! Why it's only natural of someone as perfect as me after all..." chuckled Ursula as she once again returned to what she was doing while they sighed with relied.

"You make a good point there Ursula," said Zander.

Ed though then realised something else that was just as important, "But still, those kids are stronger than ever, beating them for their dinosaurs won't be easy..." he pointed out.

Ursula then smirked in response, "Ehehehe, don't worry, I've got that covered." She said smiling rather deviously as an idea had hatched inside her mind.

As they observed her rather sinister expression their uneasiness soon returned to them, "I don't like where this is going Zander..." Said Ed nervously.

"The feeing is mutual..." the skinny sunglasses man replied.

A while later the 3 of them, already managing to snatch their alpha scanners back from the sleeping pair of siblings, entered Dr Z's private depot where a series of inventions laid scattered about, from all terrain vehicles and jets to lasers and other weapons lay around, though most of them unfinished or untested. There were also the remains of many of their former vehicles, including the torpedo they were shot in at Niagra Falls or their tunnelling drill which was destroyed by Altirhinus in Augusta, which had met gruesome ends due their never-ending string of bad luck and under Dr Z.

"Bad idea Ursula, bad idea..." Said Zander rather frantically, in fact being in that very room was beginning to give him the creeps.

"You know Dr. Z will get ten times as mad as he already is now when he finds out we messed with his stuff..." squeaked Ed.

"You mean IF he finds out," corrected Ursula feeling confident with herself, "Which of course he won't, and even if he did, he won't get the least bit angry because we'll have brought him 3 new dinosaur cards before that!" She said, "You see where I am going? When he finds out how we took initiative and used his inventions to bring him success he'll be all the more grateful for us, and we'll be on the fast track to fame and glory for sure!" She added proudly, "Fortune favours the bold after all!"

Her two friends weren't as enthusiastic but they could see where she was going, "I guess if you put it that way..." Said Ed scratching his cheek in thought.

Zander then looked around the entire lab and array of devices surrounding them feeling rather insecure about what they were doing behind Z's back, "But these are all Dr Z's inventions, you can't possibly believe they'll actuallyget the job done for this plan you've got?"

"Of course not you bums," she replied in annoyance still having bad memories over the many times their equipment or vehicles fell apart or exploded at the worst possible timings, "Which is why we'll be doing a little tinkering to these little toys to make sure there aren't any unfortunate accidents," she said with a smirk as she began walking off in another direction, "And by we of course I mean you."

They both stood back in surprise, "Eh!?"

"Excuse me!?" they gasped.

"Come on you guys, some of us, like you, were born to do manual labour while others like me were meant to supervise while making sure we maintain a beautiful complexion!" She said waving her hand at them, as she pulled out a beach chair from nowhere and lay down on it while sipping from a glass of iced orange juice, "Besides I just got my precious nails done and no way will I do so much as chip one of them off in any dirty man's work." She then said flashing her newly done nails to Ed and Zander's annoyance.

"Aren't we all grunts here though?"

"Yeah, why do we have to do all the hard work?" They both asked.

"Would you rather I take all the credit for the whole successful operation then hmm?" She then asked raising an eyebrow at them.

They both shuddered, "N…no of course not!" They both gasped in alarm.

"Then get to it you lazy slugs! None of us are getting any sleep tonight until everything's perfect!" She growled as they both gasped and headed off to fetch the tools from the garage, while she kicked back and relaxed, folding one leg over the other while reading the latest fashion magazine she picked up the other day, till eventually dozing off and a bubble began blowing from her nose.

(The next day)

Early the next morning, the sun began to rise over the hills and a rather medium sized blue minivan pulled up along the road before it came to a stop near the top of a hill. As the door opened, a rather energetic bearded man with a cowboy getup stepped out of the driver's seat and stretched out his arms and bellowed at the top of his lungs! "Well kids, here we are!" he cheered before taking in a breath of air, "SNIFF! Haha…..fresh mountain air with no trace of exhaust fumes," He then covered the top of his eyes as he peered around the area, "Trees and greenery as far as the eye can see and not a trace of architecture within a 100 mile radius. Isn't this just great!" he grinned with excitement.

"Ummm dad?" A groggy voice moaned from behind as 3 kids stepped out. All of them were rather tired and still sleepy with bags over their eyes, either yawning or still half asleep. "You woke us up like 6am in the morning, on a Saturday, just to bring us out to the middle of nowhere?" Max grumbled with annoyance as he looked around them and his eyes hardened.

"I knew you were always up for adventure and excitement Dr Taylor," muttered Zoe rubbing her eyes, "But isn't this a little much? I kinda need my beauty sleep…." she said. Speaking of beauty sleep, she knew her sister Reese needed it most, one time she got up on the wrong side of the bed because of Paris singing early in the morning like a rooster's crow and she really let them both had it…..

"Yawn….I haven't been this sleep deprived since that incident with the ankylosaurus a few months back…." Rex yawned covering his mouth.

As Spike turned around he placed his hands on his waist and grinned energetically, "Come on kids! You should be filled with way more youthful vigour than that! And you're not even half my age yet!" he bellowed pumping up his arms, "Besides, today's a special day! One that you 3 ought to engrave in your hearts for years and years to come!"

As soon as he said that, their interest was piqued as they did their best to fight back any leftover drowsiness in their eyes, "Oh? Why's that?" Max asked curiously.

Spike grinned eagerly as he came to the best part, "Because, today's the day your grandmother Grazelda first took me on my very first trip into the great outdoors! In fact, it was at this very spot she took me to long ago when I was your age." he said proudly folding up his arms and looking up at the blue skies above.

"R…Really?" Max went feeling quite touched.

"That's….kinda sweet…." added Zoe as she smiled.

"Yeah…." Rex breathed.

"That very day was what inspired me to love the great outdoors with all my heart!" Dr Taylor continued as he began scanning the horizon, "In fact, it was around this very spot we're standing that I once uncovered my very first dinosaur fossil!"

The D team kids then brightened up with amazement, "WHOA!" they all gasped.

"For real!?"

"No way!"

"You're kidding…."

"Oh no, it's very true kids." Spike smirked proudly before then scratching his cheek in thought, "Though I can't quite put my finger on what dinosaur it was…."

The kids' excitement soon died down and was replaced with disappointment, "Aww…."

"What a let down…." They went either face palming or falling down.

"Be that as it may, it was this very spot which set me on the path to become the man I am today." Dr Taylor continued.

Max then walked up to him, "That's….nice and all dad. But….is there any reason why you woke us up like really early this morning? We could have set out later couldn't we?" He then asked.

His dad grinned in response as he placed a fatherly hand on his boy's shoulder, "Well, you know the old saying the early bird gets the worm! Also best way to beat the traffic!" he cheered, "And I kinda felt nostalgic and really excited I couldn't contain myself, so I just had to bring you kids out here no matter what!"

Max and his friends then sweat dropped at the man's immature response, "Heh, typical dad….always going with his gut rather than his head first…." Max chuckled.

"One day Max, you'll be taking your kids up here to this very spot to continue our family legacy." Dr Taylor then added catching his ears as he turned to look to his son, "Won't you son?"

Max was taken a little aback by his dad's statement, but he said it in a way where he couldn't say no otherwise he'd hurt his old man's feelings…"Err….sure of course dad! Why wouldn't I? Heheh…heh…." he chuckled nervously, considering he decided to have kids in the first place that is.

Zoey and Rex then snickered behind his back, finding the thought of a girl who'd want to marry someone as hot headed as Max quite hilarious….though if his dad could find love maybe there was hope for him yet.

Rex then folded his hands behind his head, "Well in any case guys, we might as well enjoy it while we're here!" he said, which gave Max the lucky break he needed to get away from his dad's sensitive question.

"Y..Yeah of course!" He said, "There's plenty of room for Chomp, Ace and Paris to finally run and get some fresh air and exercise."

"They have been a little stressed out not being able to run around lately," Zoe replied in agreement, "This could be a great time for them to vent out some stress."

"Well then what are we waiting for guys!? Let's get them out here right now!" Max cheered as they took out their dinoholders. As they swiped their cards, they glowed and 3 chibi dinosaurs appeared before their respective partners as they stretched out or yawned.

"Come on! Let's go check out this part of the woods Chomp!" Max called out to his buddy who followed him excitedly into the forest.

As they disappeared from sight, Rex's partner couldn't help but stomp his feet with excitement and pant excitedly. Rex smirked understanding what that meant, "Want to race Ace? Heh, you're on!" he went as they both sprinted off after Max!

"H…Hey wait you guys! Don't leave us!" Zoe cried out as she and Paris hurried after them so they wouldn't get left behind.

"Be careful kids! Don't wander off too far!" Dr Taylor called out to them before recalling an important memory, "That's right! Now I remember! I buried that fossil in a time capsule!" he cheered with excitement before slumping back down again, "Though I can't seem to remember where it was….." It was then he perked up and headed to the back of the van, "Well then, guess it's a good thing I packed this just in case!" He cheered opening up the booth and rummaging through the many other things he had stored inside, as he began throwing out shovels, gloves and picks, "Let's see….I'm sure I packed around…Aha!" He cheered as he pulled out a rather large metal detector with blinking lights on it, "Hehe, now we're cooking! Dr Taylor's super ancient treasure hunt now begins! Oh how I feel so young again…." he said jittering with excitement before switching on his device and going off treasure hunting.

Meanwhile as they trotted along the forest path, Paris went to go sniff some flowers in some bushes nearby as Zoe supervised to make sure she didn't try munching on any poisonous toadstools, while Rex paced behind Ace who tried snapping at butterflies for an early morning snack. Meanwhile Max had just noticed Chomp dive into some bushes and he grinned knowing what he was doing, "Playing hide and seek Chomp? Okay, ready or not here I come!" he cheered as he reached his hands out ready to give the little trike a surprise from behind!

As Rex breathed in the clean mountain air he felt more at peace and relaxed than before, "You know, I think I can get used to this…." he said to himself willing to let Dr Taylor slide this once, as he was about to drift into dreamland himself, he got awoken by an unexpected wake up call.

"Hey Max! Rex! Look at this!" Zoe cried out as they quickly hurried to where she was, kneeling down and staring at a log it seemed. As they got closer through, they became quite amazed to see a Japanese stag beetle and Hercules beetle were engaged in pretty close combat with one another! It was rare sight almost no one had ever witnessed in the wild before!

"Whoa that's cool….."

"Yeah, it's not everyday you see something like this…." Max and Rex breathed with amazement as they didn't take their eyes off both insects for even a second as they continued to thrash about, each hoping to overpower the other with sheer strength!

"Who do you think's going to win?" Zoe asked.

Max grinned, "Hehe, I'm gonna bet 10 bucks on the rhinoceros beetle!

"Oh yeah? In that case I'll pit 10 bucks that the stag beetle will win!" Rex countered as he and Max fist bumped.

"You're on!"

As the 2 boys began rooting for their respective insect to win, Zoe couldn't help but sweat drip in response, "Seriously? You guys are betting your allowance over an insect fight?" she sighed face palming, "Boys….sometimes I don't understand them…."

While the 3 kids focused on the beetle battle, their 3 dinosaurs soon gathered together, Ace apparently had noticed a peculiar leaf had fallen on the ground and he sniffed it with interest before barking and calling the other 2 over. As they looked closer the white leaf turned out to be a feather, though not like any they've seen, in fact it seemed almost saurian in a way. As they looked up they caught sight of a small white fluff perched on a tree branch, which soon turned to look down. The 3 D team dinosaurs were surprised to see the white ball of fluff in the trees was in fact alive! The fluff however was surprised to have been seen as it quickly hopped over from tree branch to branch hoping to escape the unwanted attention she just got as the 3 chibi dinosaurs chased after her!

Meanwhile the D team was oblivious to the fact that their pets were running off from them, as their eyes remained fixated on the beetles where neither one had shown signs of giving up or tiring just yet. "Man these guys are really evenly matched…."

"Yeah, just look at them lock horns with one another….."

"I never thought insect fights could be this intense…" They each commented as the hercules beetle tried to jab its horn forward only for the stag beetle to clip onto it and hold it back!

"Hey Chomp! Come over here and take a look at this!" Max called as he turned around, but the second he did, he widened his eyes to see all 3 of their dinosaurs running farther away into the woods to their owners' shock!

"Huh!?"

"Ah!"

"H…Hey Chomp! Wait! Come back!" Max yelled as he raced after them.

"Oh no not again! Ace!" Rex grunted as he got up and hurried over.

"Don't go off on your own Paris! Wait for me!" Zoe cried as she followed the 2 boys after their friends!

Meanwhile, the 2 beetles were stuck together and struggled to pull themselves apart, only for the both of them to eventually tumble over the log and fall into the underbrush!

(Meanwhile)

Further off in the distance in the hills, a rather large reddish plane-like vehicle with tilting propellers on the ends of its wings had landed rather smoothly for once, as the wind it generated from its wings began flowing away several leaves off the tree tops as it then landed in the middle of a clearing. As it's back opened up Ed was first to step out as he wiped away some sweat from his brow, "Phew, thats the first safe flight we've had in a long while..." he muttered taking a breather as he got off first.

"Well naturally," replied Zander with a grin stepping out next from behind him, "Considering it isn't Dr Z sending us off its obvious we'd make the trip in one piece."

"Good point..." Ed replied in agreement, recalling the number of times Dr Z blasted em out of their vehicles or made them explode upon arrival whenever he sent them out to capture dinosaurs, every single one made him shudder, though for the first time arriving safely felt so unusual and out of place for him. His trial of thoughts was derailed as suddenly he and Zander suffered a serious kick to their rears which end them flying into some nearby bushes!

"GAAAAAHH!" They cried as they struggle hard to pull themselves out of the underbrush before managing to, though it ended up with them rolling across the field and they lay face flat on the ground!

"Alright guys enough chit chat, time to get to work, chop chop! Time to get to work!" Stated Ursula impatiently clapping her hands.

The other two looked up to her nervously while still lying down, "You really sure about this Ursula?" Asked Ed feeling insecure, while rubbing his sore bottom.

"Those modifications we made were pretty expensive," Added Zander with a pout, "If something goes wrong we can pretty much kiss our allowances down the toilet!"

"Relax you guys...listen," she said sighing having lost her patience over their paranoia, "Ever heard the saying big risks make big rewards, not to mention the best rewards come to those who initiate and make their opportunities rather than wait for them?" She then asked, "The time for worrywarts is over, the age of the Alpha gang starts now!" She boasted with fire in her eyes.

"But….How will we know the brats will come in the first place?" Asked Ed twiddling his fingers, which then earned him huge bash on the head by Ursula!

SMACK!

"Owie!" He cried as Zander shuddered.

"Newsflash Ed, how else do you think those kids show up in our faces everyone a dinosaur appears? The news?" she replied sarcastically,"By now you'd figure they'd have some sort of detection system like we do. And of course what easier way to bring them in than with a dinosaur, you get what I am saying?" She stated as the two men soon realised what she meant.

"Thats...genius..."

"How come we never thought of that before?" They gasped in amazement.

"Because your puny brains could never come up with a scheme that's as efficient and elegant as me." Ursula winked playfully before glaring at them like a demon! "Now get off your butts and get to work on those traps now!" She shouted pointing out as they shuddered.

"On the double!" They cried as they quickly rushed back in and hauled out the equipment off the jet and began assembling their devices and soon began looking for good places to set the traps.

As Ursula stood back and watched the 2 men work their butts off, she then grinned deviously to herself as she rubbed her hands together with her nasty plot which was soon coming together, "Hehehe just you wait you little ankle biters, when this day is over you'll rue the day you ever crossed me..." She thought to herself with glee knowing today would be the last day they ever crossed the Alpha Gang.

And now concludes chapter 2. Have to say I didn't expect to finish this so soon. In any case you're wondering, the aircraft the Alpha trio used is the one used on the dinosaur king arcade game.

P.S- Grazelda Taylor is actually the name of Max's grandmother in the anime, stated from episode 7.

Hope to be able to see this story through if I can.
