34. Amazing Treasure Race

Chapter 34

Amazing Treasure Race

"FIRE!" The Navy commander yelled out loud at the top of his voice! On his signal the warship's cannons took aim and fired 3 cannon balls in the path of the D Team's ship!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

They fell short of hitting their target as they splashed around the ship instead, but the fact remained that they were sailing right into the navy's line of fire!

"We're sailing right into the cannon fire!" Max cried out in a panic.

"Dr Z you've got to turn this ship around!" Rex gasped in alarm to the ship's 'captain'.

"The name is Whitebeard and I don't run from anybody! You got that you bunch of land lubbers!?" Dr Z retorted stubbornly as he maintained a straight course towards the other ship much to the others' alarm!

"We're facing a battleship from the British navy! We're gonna get blown up!" said Zoe with fear and terror in her voice, begging the old man to turn away, while Cera and Jim glared daggers

Very soon more cannons from the Navy warship were fired at them and all around them the cannonballs splashed, miraculously none were able to land a direct hit on their ship yet, but Cera could see that each shot was getting closer and closer and she didn't want to test their luck anymore than it already had been!

"GAAAH!" The Trio cried out in a panic, Zander and Ursula huddling together and Ed staying on his own near Dr Z, while the D Team held on as tight as they could to wherever they could secure themselves to.

"Ed you ninny, isn't there anything on board this tub we can fight back with!?" Whitebeard growled at the pudgy pirate who suddenly opened his eyes in realisation.

"Oh! Actually there is!" Ed he said as stepped on a certain spot near the wheel, causing a compartment to open up. Pressing it, a huge purplish dome suddenly opened up around the entire ship and enclosed them in a kind of air tight bubble much to everyone's amazement!

"Ah!"

"Submarine mode engaged! Prepare to submerge!" Ed announced proudly much to the D Team's awe and shock at the ship's capabilities.

"What!?" The ship soon began to descend beneath the waves and out of range of the Navy's cannons.

"You mean this thing can actually go underwater!?" Max gasped at Ed as he and everyone else either blinked, hung their jaws speechlessly or just smiled in amazement at his brilliance.

Truly the surprises kept on coming, even Cera had to admit the Alpha gang really outdid themselves this time, if only they could be like this more often. The Navy meanwhile up above could only gasp speechlessly at what they witnessed, for one no ship could ever go under water like that without breaking apart under the huge pressure of water. Furthermore their cannonballs were bouncing off the shields like ping pong balls as the ship sped away deep beneath the dark waters of the sea.

"That feature cost a little extra but since we put it on Ursula's charge card I figured why not?" Ed added rather smugly as Cera sweat dropped seeing Ursula get rather agitated at his careless remark.

"HAH!" she growled kicking him down with her boot!

"OW!"

"So that's why I'm maxed out and couldn't buy that new outfit!" she growled at him in response.

"For once that card was used for something useful…." Cera couldn't help but think to herself seeing Ed made a wise decision without a doubt.

"Enough bickering! Set a course for treasure island!" Whitebeard then yelled out as he pointed straight ahead in the direction they were heading in. As he manned the wheel and kept a full focus ahed of him, the rest of the crew couldn't help but walk around the deck of the ship while eying the view on all sides. Not once had they ever dreamed of seeing what things were like underwater and what they saw truly didn't disappoint as they smiled in awe and filled with deep emotion to this new experience.

"Wow, I've never actually been underwater before…." Jim breathed blinking his eyes and seeing schools of fish of many different colours, shapes and sizes gather around to greet some new visitors to their underwater home. "I never thought it'd be so amazing…." He then smiled seeing he had a new tale to tell his father and village, if he ever saw them again.

"Yeah no kidding…." Max whistled as he folded his hands behind his back and looked up, seeing the sun shining on the surface above them and a sunfish just passing by like an underwater alien or UFO. In fact under sea looked almost like an entirely different world.

"Look! Whales!" Zoe suddenly cried pointing out, as the others ran to the side to see a large humpback whale and calf were just at the surface several feet away from where they were, as they reached the surface and blew water out of their blowholes before descending deeper into the dark further away.

"And over there are some dolphins!" Cera gasped as a pod of dolphins went smashing together at the surface as the D Team smiled and gasped in awe at their underwater acrobatics before disappearing into the depths. It was hard to believe that this was the same planet earth they always lived on, how beautiful the ocean was and important to both marine life and people, all the more reason it had to be preserved and protected.

"Oooh! A school of tuna fish!" Ursula cheered as a large shoal of big fish passed right in front of them.

"I'm getting hungry just looking at them all." said Ed as his mouth began to water and his fingers began twiddling about wishing he could grab hold of one and sink his teeth into it raw like it was sushi!

Captain Whitebeard however didn't quite share the mutual feeling the rest of the group had as he gritted his teeth and yelled out to them, "This isn't an undersea safari tour people! We're on a mission here!" he growled shaking his fist at them and spoiling the mood, causing them to scowl or frown at him. "Now that we've got the map it's time we pressed our advantage!" He then added with urgency, reminding everyone they couldn't get sidetracked now with the goal in sight. He then focused his attention on Jim who shuddered a bit to see the vicious captain glare at him, "Tell us where to go next boy!" he yelled pointing at him.

"Aye aye sir!" Jim saluted him as he unfurled the map which he taped back together and spread it out on the floor, "Let's see….." Everyone gathered around him for a better look. Sticking out his finger on the map from where they last left off, he then traced it in the direction they were heading, before pointing straight ahead in the distance and everyone followed, "That way!" he said out loud feeling confident and assured that it was the right way.

"That way it is! Full speed ahead!" Whitebeard pointed out as they sped ahead in the pointed direction.

As they did, Max then folded his arms behind his head in a more lax manner, "We should be able to rest easy now, I mean no way they'd be able to follow and attack us while we're under water." he grinned with confidence.

"Yeah and we've got the map so there's no way for them to know where to go too." Rex nodded as the others smiled or snickered at the advantage they held over their foes this time, though Cera didn't seem as convinced as they were as she had a slightly more serious expression than the rest of them

"Is that enough of an edge though?" she thought to herself. Maybe they could beat the regular pirates, but the space pirates were an all too different story. Until they secured the treasure or stopped them for good, they'd always have the upper hand since they were the ones following after them this whole time so it's

A while passed by and soon Dr Z yelled out to one of his crew, "Ursula! Take a look now!" he pointed out.

"Aye captain sir!" she saluted as she brought up a periscope which began scanning the horizon. Looking ahead she caught sight of an island coming up in the distance. Upon sight of it she jittered with glee and post ned ahead with excitement, "There! It's dead ahead!" she squealed as everyone brightened up or gasped in surprise.

"AH!"

"Really!?"

"We're finally here!"

Jim then clenched one of his hands into a fist as it tightened tensely with determination, "Dad, I promise I'll get that jewel no matter what…for us and our people…." he vowed to himself as his expression hardened seriously.

"Ed! take us up now!"

"Right away!" he replied to Captain Whitebeard as he pressed a button causing the whole ship to surface and the dome around it lowered.

"Whoa! Looks like treasure island is straight ahead!" Max gasped looking ahead to see the legendary island right before his eyes.

"We actually found it!" Zoe followed in amazement.

"Yeah, and we're way ahead of Blackbeard and his crew too." Cera whistled seeing how far they had finally come after looking behind to see no trace of their enemies for miles, "Though I wouldn't rest on our laurels yet, not until we have it safe and secured." she then added seriously to which they all nodded in agreement.

Jim then took out the map and opened it up to read, "According to the map, the treasure is on the side of the island that has dangerous reefs." he said putting his finger on it and tracing along it form where they were currently approaching, "We can't sail to it, so we'll have to hike!" he said as he quickly ran to the side and lowered the life boat to the sea surface and then climb down the rope ladders to it.

"Hey wait for us Jim!" Max cried out.

"Yeah you can't go by yourself!" Rex followed as they ran after him.

"Either he really wants to get the jewel to help his village or he wants to impress Zoe by getting all the glory…." Cera muttered to herself in annoyance at his foolhardy attitude, before realising something else that was just as important as finding the stone, it was securing it and wondering what to do with it later, "Still, even if we do get it, will it really save his people? Also, what happens after that? We can't just leave it here for the pirates to snatch later…." she thought to herself curiously before shaking her head deciding to worry about it later.

As Max and the others prepared to enter the boat, Cera then held herself back at the last minute after looking down below and seeing the wooden boat couldn't possibly support all of them inside as she stepped back uneasily.

"You coming Cera?" Rex asked curiously noticing her hesitance as she then shook her head in response.

"I don't think there's enough room in that little boat guys…." she said, "I'll go my own way if you don't mind." She then took out her dinoshot and a card which she got from earlier while they were underwater, "Dino slash!" Upon slashing the card Spiny appeared in full sized form on the other side of the ship while down in the water. "There are 2 paths leading to it, I'll take the sea side through the reefs with Spiny and you guys go on land." she explained, "In case we face trouble on the island or by pirates at least one of us will be able to get to the treasure later."

"That makes sense….not sure I approve though…" Rex replied feeling uneasy about the D Team splitting up again, a feeling shared mutually with the others.

"You sure you want to go it alone though?" Max asked.

"Sounds dangerous, you sure you wouldn't want one of us come along with you?" Zoe suggested.

Cera smiled appreciating their concern but shook her head once more, "I can hold my own just fine." she assured them, "Besides, I think it'll take all 3 of you to keep Jim in line if he keeps acting on his gut like that just now."

As Max thought about how reckless Jim was in leaving him to take the gunfire earlier, Zoe recalling how 'honest' he was with his feelings for her and Rex recalling how stubborn and foolhardy he was they could see it'd take all 3 of them just to keep him in line and from running off on his own. If anything if left unattended they could easily get sidetracked having to pull him out of sticky situations he'd easily get himself into.

"Good point…." They all said to her in response.

"Hey! What are you guys waiting for!?" Jim suddenly yelled out from below catching their attention, "Hurry up or we'll lose our chance!"

"Coming Jim!" Zoe called out to him as she went down the ripe ladder first.

"Sheesh, that guy needs to learn patience and teamwork…." Max muttered in annoyance as he followed after her next.

As Rex followed last Cera waved to them, "See you guys later!" she said.

"Take care now!" Rex replied as he went down the ladder and Cera went to the other side where Spiny was waiting for her.

She then jumped off the edge and landed effortlessly on his neck as she petted him nicely, "Alright Spiny, let's go." The spinosaurus roared out obediently as he began swimming in the direction which would go across the reefs hoping it'd be a short cut to where the treasure was. Along the way, Spiny began snapping up any fish that came close to him, mistaking his sail for shelter from predatory seabirds only to get snatched up by a far larger predator instead! In fact even sharks in the water were warded off by his massive size and huge claws, which was more than a warning for them to stay clear of him. Spiny also effortlessly steered himself around the jagged rocks and reefs down below, truly he was in his element here and no other dinosaur could match him on such terrain.

"So far so good…." Cera thought to herself seeing they hadn't encountered any trouble along the way as they passed by some rather ragged cliffs and into a bay area. It was fortunate they didn't encounter any troubles along the way but she didn't want to count any of her chickens before they hatched, if anything big trouble usually showed up at the last second or when they would lower their guard. As they came near the bay, Spiny's eyes slitted and he hissed rather aggressively, as something in the air had triggered some primal instinct deep down inside and he went on high alert as he snarled looking around for something.

Cera blinked her eyes in surprise at his sudden behavioural change, "Hey? Is something wrong? You don't seem like yourself…." she asked him with concern as she petted hem gently on his neck. It helped calm him down a little but there was without a doubt something on his mind which caught his attention and was close by. She was getting suspicious that there were enemies in the vicinity, but a small shadow passing above them caught her attention, "Hmm?" Looking up she saw the trio were pedalling on a sort of flying pedal bike high above her and Spiny, "Oh it's the Alpha gang….what are they up to now?" she muttered before sweat dropping at their embarrassing mode of transport. Before long they had a kind of squabble while pedalling before they ended up crashing into the forest somewhere.

Crash!

Seeing their blunder for the umpteenth time made Cera groan in dismay as she shook her head, "Oh boy not again, guess we've gotta look for them too…." she moaned as Spiny let out a low growl in disappointment knowing he'd have to fight against these strange but enticing urges he's been having but it wouldn't be easy….

Before long Spiny caught sight of something coming in from the horizon further up ahead, as he roared out loudly to get Cera's attention, "Hmm?" Looking ahead she widened her eyes to see an all too familiar pirate ship come in from the open sea and into the bay area. She then urged Spiny to backtrack and treat behind some large stone stacks as they observed from a safe distance. "It's Blackbeard! How did he find us so fast!?" she gasped in shock before narrowing her eyes hardly at their enemies heading for behind the bay. Suddenly the skies soon turned multicoloured, a situation which she knew all too well, "Ah! A battle field!" she gasped before hearing roars coming from the island, "Tch! Those space pirates must have helped them find us…." she clicked her tongue seeing the answer all too clear.

Looking back to the forest where the Trio crashed she sighed deeply seeing she had no other choice now, "Sorry you guys, but I've bigger fish to fry now." she sighed with slight regret as she looked to Spiny firmly, "Spiny! After that ship!" she pointed out and he roared acknowledging her instructions. They shadowed the ship from behind but maintaining a safe distance and staying low, "Stay behind, we don't want them to see us and then unload their weapons." She said to him before noticing an opening in the cliffs behind the bay, "Hm? A cave….could it be a shortcut?" she asked herself curiously before a roar in the distance caught her attention.

ROAR!

"Huh?" As she looked over to the side she saw a female space pirate with a green raptor dinosaur was engaged in close combat with a carnotaurus! "Ah! It's Sheer and a megaraptor!" She gasped seeing the space pirate again whose dinosaur swung out her tail and knocked Ace close to the edge of the cliff! "Ace no!" She gasped before urging Spiny to go for them, seeing their situation as more urgent than Blackbeard. Chomp was soon summoned to back him up while Ace was recalled so he could recuperate. Despite their side difference the megaraptor was strong enough to throw Chomp by the tail across the ground.

"Tch! For a little dinosaur that raptor sure can hold its own…" Cera grunted as they came closer to the cliffs only to witness both dinosaurs fall form the cliff into the ocean below! Chomp was able to keep his head above but megaraptor struggled to keep afloat. Cera felt rather sorry for it but reminded herself that it was an enemy dinosaur under pirate control so it had to be defeated in order to be freed. She was about to have Spiny go in and finish it off, but the dinosaur was suddenly recalled to the pirate ship up ahead, where Sheer had landed before they disappeared inside!

"Tch! She was just distracting them the whole time…." she clicked her tongue in frustration, but soon widened her eyes as a boy from above the cliffs suddenly jumped down onto it! "JIM!?" Cera then exclaimed turning pale slightly at his outrageous and insane act. "He's either brave or just insane….probably both…." She thought to herself seeing him jump behind enemy lines so deliberately without any caution or concern. While she minded over what to do next, a set of whirlpools suddenly swelled and opened up nearby the coast further up ahead much to her surprise, "Hmm? Whirlpools, those look very dangerous…." she noted seeing that those could pull any vessel down into a watery grave, so they'd make short work of her and Spiny that much more easily so it'd be best they keep their distance for the time being.

The fact remained though that they suddenly appeared form out of nowhere and without warning, something like that doesn't just happen so there had to be more forces at work on this island than they first believed, "What's going on here?" he asked herslef with suspicion as Spiny grunted kicking away from the swelling torrents and maintaining a safe distance. Cera was about to consider going ashore on land where it might be safer, when their ship suddenly emerged from one of the larger whirlpools with Dr Z waving out to the kids higher on the cliff, "The water started swirling and sucked the ship down! Good thing I was able to go on auto sub!" he cheered, "Have you figured out where the treasure is yet?" he then asked.

"No but Blackbeard just went into that cave!" Rex answered him.

"Sheer and Jim are on board his ship too!" Zoe cried as she ran up and regrouped with her friends.

"Jim's on there!?" Max gasped in alarm while Cera face palmed at how staggering his reckless behaviour was, of all the times he acted tough in order to impress Zoe or get the treasure for his people, this time he may have bitten off more than he could chew.

"Well, what do you say we go catch them and have a good old fashioned dinosaur throw down!" said Captain Whitebeard feeling incredibly pumped and ready for action!

"I couldn't agree more." said a voice nearby which made them look to where it came from.

"Hmm?"

"Hey look! It's Cera and Spiny!" Rex pointed out as she and Spiny came up from the sea till she was below the cliffs where Max and the D Team were.

"I heard the whole story! We'll have to get a move on now!" she said with urgency.

"Hey Dr Z! Think you can bring the ship closer so they can jump on board!?" Rex cried out to him.

"The name is Whitebeard!" Dr Z yelled back in response before folding his arms and looking away from them, "And unless you call me that there'll be no ride for you. Hmph!"

"Fine, Captain Whitebeard….." Rex sighed almost painfully at having to give in to the old man's conditions who was acting so much like a fussy kid.

"There, now was that so hard?" Whitebeard replied smugly as he brought the ship in closer to the cliffs. As Max and the D Team jumped in, Spiny raised his head up allowing Cera to jump on board before returning him to card form.

As soon as they all were on board, Whitebeard turned the ship in the direction of the cave till they arrived at the entrance, "Alright! Steady she goes and now we charge!" he cried out loud as he charged straight in! As they entered the cave it soon began to turn dark and it was a straight but narrow path, with several sharp edges along the walls and hard stalactites sticking up in the water below.

Despite all the dangers surrounding them, Max gritted his teeth impatiently as he yelled out loud with urgency, "Come on! Can't this thing go any faster!? We're losing them! They could be at the treasure by now!"

Rex then put a hand on his shoulder to calm him down, "Max, if we go any faster in this narrow cave we could crash into the walls or hit something from underneath." he said with caution as he looked around seeing the various stalagmites hanging from above. One wrong move could potentially cause a cave in or even a crash.

"Yeah, it's pretty dark too so there's no telling when a tight turn will come up." Cera added on top of that seeing it was getting hard to see.

Those were the least of their worries, as suddenly the entire cavern began to shake violently, the rocks form the ceiling began crashing down and splashing around them and they were shaken up and caught off guard!

"WAAAAAHH!" Zoe and Max screamed out loud.

"Wh…What's going on!?" Rex gasped as he widened dish eyes and looked around.

"Earthquake!" Whitebeard then screamed as he began sweating bullets, "What should we do!?"

"Why are you asking me!? You're supposed to be the captain!" Max cried out just as panicky as he was!

As everyone clung onto something to secure themselves or stumbled about trying to stay upright, Zoe soon caught whiff of something behind her, "Huh!? AAAAAAHHHH!" she screamed out loud as a massive tidal wave suddenly erupted as a result of the huge vibrations shaking the cavern inside!

"AAAAAH!" everyone screamed as, like a massive beast, the sea wave itself spread out over their entire ship ready to engulf them in a huge swell and surge!

"Brace yourselves!" Rex yelled out as the wave came crashing down on them all!

SPLASH!

The massive wave of seawater soon blanketed the entire ship and swept over the entire deck and nearly wiping out everyone who was on board!

"Urgh…is everybody okay?" Max asked uneasily as he looked up after getting knocked down from the immense weight of water that fell on top of them.

"I am…but I don't see Zoe or Cera." said Rex as he stumbled into view nearby and held at the railings to stabilise himself.

"We're over here!" Zoe cried out as she and Cera looked up from holding onto the mast.

They made it out of one problem only to be greeted with another, "Grrrgh! We're caught in the current and I can't turn us around!" Whitebeard then grunted as he struggled to turn the wheel in the direction he wanted to, and they continued going in a straight line down the cave.

"Try harder!" Max yelled in response which only served to infuriate him even more.

"Don't you think I'm already doing that!?" he growled shaking his fist at the young boy.

Looking ahead, Cera caught sight of something ahead as she yelled out to them, "Wait guys don't! Look up ahead!" she cried catching everyone's attention.

"Huh!?" Looking ahead they find exactly who they were looking for.

"Ah! It's Blackbeard's ship!" Zoe gasped.

"Hehehe, time to show this antique pirate who truly rules the seas! Hahahah!" Whitebeard laughed cockily, though he soon changed his tune as Blackbeard brought a cannon up.

"How'd you like a cannonball down your gullet!?" he growled as he aimed the weapon straight at them!

"AH!" They all gasped as he armed the cannon with a cannonball and prepared to light the fuse!

"If he fires he'll sink the ship!" Max cried out in alarm.

"Everybody take cover!" Rex warned them as the pirate captain lit the fuse!

"Bon voyage!" he bellowed as the cannon began to unload! At the last second it turned around unexpectedly and ended up blowing up part of the cave wall next to the pirate ship! "Huh!?" Blackbeard gasped seeing he missed for some odd reason before looking down, "What the!?" In surprise was Jim who revealed his position from under the cannon!

"Take that!" Jim snickered before running off.

"Get him! Arrest that skipper rat men!" Blackbeard ordered as his crew mobilised and went after him in full force!

"Aw yeah! Jim!" Max grinned as he punched feared in excitement, rooting for him to do his worst to the price crew for a change.

"Be careful!" Zoe cried clapping her hands together in worry for his own wellbeing, even if he was smart and quick on his feet he was still up against several adult men armed to the teeth with guns and swords so there was always the chance he'd be too confident and end up making a life threatening mistake in the process.

"For a wild kid he sure is brave and has guts too…" Cera thought to herself feeling the same as Zoe as she narrowed her eyes overhearing the scuffle going on board the other ship, "Hope he isn't over his head…" Up ahead a bright light soon began to glow over in the front of the other ship as Cera began to narrow her eyes as it got rather glaring, "Hey guys! I think there's a light up ahead!" she pointed out.

"It must be the end of the cave!" Max grunted as he and the others covered their eyes at the glaring light at the end! As they passed through both ships soon were flowing gently down a kind of canal which spiralled along the mountain from where they came out from.

"I guess this river will take us back down to the ocean." Rex suggested.

"The way this is going….it's kinda like one of those amusement park water rides where there's a massive fall at the end." Max noted seeing they were all spiralling down the mountain in a swirling kind of way, which reminded him of a water park he and Rex once visited with his parents one time when they were younger.

The others turned to him with hard scowls, "Did you really have to jinx it Max?" Zoe muttered.

He however didn't seem so worried as he folded his arms behind his head in a lax manner, "Oh relax, what are the chances of that really happening?" he said rather cockily.

As soon as he finished though, the ship suddenly zoomed fast ahead as they travelled further and further down the canal! "WHOA!" They all cried as they and the pirates ahead were caught in some kind of swift current which felt close to that of a rollercoaster! What happened next made their hearts skip a beat.

"Waterfall ahead! I've got a sinking feeling!" The pirate parrot up ahead squawked out loud which made them all gasp in alarm.

"AAAH!"

"You were saying!?" Rex and Cera yelled to Max as he scratched his cheek uneasily.

"Err…." He then turned over to Dr Z hoping to shift the topic to someone else so the blame wouldn't be put solely on him, "Do something Dr Z!" Max cried out in a panic hoping he'd do something quick or they all be sunk!

"Captain Whitebeard's got it under control!" he replied with confidence as the button panel opened up on the wheel, "Prepare to dive!" The cannons on the ship then fired a set of streamers and even a few birds flew out from them, much to his surprise and the D Team's annoyance thinking he was just messing around with them, "Huh…wrong button I guess…" he muttered in surprised as he reached for another, "Err here?" Pressing another, the cannons fired out a set of colourful fireworks which exploded into sparkles in the sky.

"Fireworks!? What do you think you're doing!?" Max exclaimed both impatiently and in a panic as he and the others shot hard glares at Dr Z further pressuring him.

"It must be one of these stupid buttons!" he cried out as he began pressing randomly all over! Each button either unfurled sails, played music or even made them zoom faster towards the incoming waterfall!

"WAAAAAH!" Everyone screamed in a panic seeing how close they were to certain doom!

It was soon which Cera then began to realise an important detail she overlooked, "The only who knows this ship is Ed and he and the Alpha gang aren't anywhere for miles!" she cried before grasping the hair in her head in deep regret, "Maybe I shouldn't have left them hanging in the forest just now…." she moaned out loud in disbelief that of all the times they needed the trio it had to be now when their lives depended on it!

"AAAAAAHHH!" Up ahead the D Team widened their eyes as the pirate ship went down the waterfall and was followed by a huge splash which soon shattered it completely into debris and driftwood while scattering the crew!

Splash!

"Oh no Jim!" Zoe cried out covering her mouth in worry.

"HURRY!" Max screamed out loud waving his arms in a frenzy.

"If we don't act now we'll crash like them!" Rex added just as worried.

"Don't rush me!" Whitebeard shouted back at him as he too was having the pressure get to him and he could;t think straight with some much on the line!

Cera widened her eyes recalling where the button was, "Wait…." earlier when the Navy was attacking them Ed stomped on a certain point near the wheel which caused the button to reveal itself, "It's here! I remember now!" Stomping on that same spot the hatch opened revealing the big button inside.

"AH!"

"Press it now!" Zoe and Max shouted as the others quickly grabbed onto the side to brace themselves for the fall to come!

"Got it!" Dr Z yelled as he stomped on it just when they went over the falls! Fortunately the dome covered over them in time as they landed with a huge splash down below! Luckily thanks to the shielding of the dome they all emerged unscathed and in one piece unlike Blackbeard's ship, thanks to superior technology, as they rose up to the surface again and the shields lowered. "Ahahahaha! Didn't I tell you? Never underestimate the amazing Whitebeard!" Dr Z then laughed boastfully feeling proud of himself while Cera simply narrowed her eyebrows at him.

"Who wouldn't underestimate you?" she muttered softly out of earshot, "You didn't even know what your own ship did…." she sighed shaking her head before joining the others who were gazing over the sides of the ship. Around them the tops of what were once mountains were now poking out of the sea like stacks, it was amazing how quickly and drastically the scenery changed right after they entered the cave and the earthquake passed.

"Most of the island is underwater now…." Max breathed in amazement as he observed the scenery around them.

"So that earthquake we felt wasn't just a coincidence…." Cera noted as she narrowed her eyes, "But now how will we find the treasure?" she then asked seeing the change in scenery had brought up a new challenge which would render their current map obsolete.

"Ahoy there!" a voice suddenly cried out which snapped everyone out of their thoughts. Looking overboard they smiled with relief as they saw Jim was clinging on to a piece of driftwood which was floating on the surface of the water.

"Jim!" Zoe cried as she saw him and then began to blush feeling glad for him to be alive and in one piece, "You made it Jim!"

"It's a miracle he got out of that unscathed…." Cera whistled impressed at how tough he was despite being so young. Perhaps living out in the sea had tempered his mind, body and heart to be much tougher than kids his age would be.

"Grab ahold of this!" Max called out as he threw out a life ring with a rope tied to ti, which Jim quickly grabbed hold of as he was pulled in closer to the ship.

"Pedal harder you slugs!" An angry female voice suddenly growled which made the others look up, to see the Alpha trio were coming in from above, with the old flying bike which had been patched up rather poorly in a set of bandages and take which was only barely holding it together.

"The old lady!" Zoe gasped in surprise to see them.

"Hey they're okay too." Cera whistled having forgotten about them but nevertheless glad to see them alive too.

"AAARGH!" Ursula suddenly roared out upon hearing the forbidden words uttered out, "You take that back or I'm coming straight down there! You hear me!?" she growled but her resultless shaking caused their flying bike to crack apart and soon explode back into pieces reducing their hard work to nothing!

"Why'd you have to say that?!" Zander and Ed cried out in exasperation as they fell into the water, just when Jim had just climbed back on board.

SPLASH!

Seeing at how unlucky they were, Cera couldn't help but sigh in pity at the trouble they go through and for nothing, not even a stroke of gratitude from anyone.

"You find anything?" Rex asked looking over the side as the Trio popped their heads out from the water.

"We forgot our map, and even if we had it, the island has sunk so much that the map won't help!" Zander gasped as he struggled to keep himself afloat while.

"Oh no then how are we ever going to find the treasure?" Zoe cried seeing their new predicament.

"I can't believe we got this close and came up with no jewels! GRR!" Ursula whined like a spoilt child wanting to become rich hoping it'd help fill up her credit card which Ed emptied.

Jim however was worried about the treasure too, but for an all too different reason, "If the treasure is underwater now….then this map is useless…." he sniffled in pain as he squatted on his knees and held it up to his soaking wet head. Feeling utterly devastated at coming so close only to end up with nothing he dropped the map down onto the wet floor seeing nothing left to fight or even live for now that his only chance at saving his people was now sunk.

As the others eyed him with sympathy a hard voice further off caught their attention, "By Neptune's beard!" Blackbeard yelled out as he and Copper stood on what was left of their ship being the steering wheel, "I know that treasure's lying somewhere right here in briny blue! And I intend to find it!" he glowed as both men began scouting out their surroundings.

"Even with his ship and his men sunk, Blackbeard won't give up!" Zander gasped amazed at the pirate's persistence and determination despite losing everything.

"Well unless he's got a pirate scuba suit he won't find any treasure here!" Whitebeard remarked confident that now he was out of the picture for good and that he could boast about being the superior pirate now.

As Cera looked over the side of the ship she eyed the splashing trio pityingly, "Can't leave you guys down there…." she sighed as she slashed a card an summoned Spiny to full size who then appeared in the water and roared.

Upon his appearance the trio's eyes glistened with hope and joy.

"AH!"

"We're saved!"

"Ahahaha!" They laughed and cheered.

"Only if you promise to behave this time. Deal?" Cera added shooting a firm glare at them.

"Yes! Yes! Deal! Let us on now please?" They pleaded desperately waving their arms out as if they were drowning which apparently they were, seeing there was no point in arguing with her since she was offering them the last lifeboat and they were running put of time and energy to stay afloat.

After that Spiny scooped them up using his tail before straightening it out and lifting them back onto the upper deck, as they either gasped for air or began kissing the deck of the ship not taking it for granted again before Spiny was recalled.

Despite feeling grateful and joyful at being saved, Jim unfortunately wasn't as he began shedding heavy painful tears from his eyes.

"All hope for my village is lost…." Jim sniffled bitterly as the rest of the D Team began to sympathised with him. As much as they wanted to say comforting words to him they had nothing that could possibly lift his spirits at this point, as they'd only be saying empty words of false hope.

"This can't be how it ends…." Cera thought to herself as she clenched her fist hard. Every drop of blood in her veins refused to give up, but even so how could they continue when their only clue to this treasure was now null and void. "There has to be some kind of clue on the map…there has to be…." She breathed out as she eyed the map closely, but could see nothing that could give them any sort of hints…..

It seemed like they'd be stuck at a dead end and at a lot cause….when Rex widened his eyes noticing something upon hearing Cera's words from just now, "Wait a minute…." he said picking up the map. He then held it up to the sun and finally saw it, "Aha!" he cried out which caught everyone's attention.

"Do you see something Rex?" Max asked him curiosuly.

"When this is wet and you hold it up to the light a whole different map appears!" Rex answered. "And…." He began to survey their surroundings carefully, "And I think it matches with the parts of the island that aren't underwater!" he cried out as the rest of the D Team came in to look.

"Whoa! Does that mean?"

"It means this rock with the X on it is where the treasure is!" Rex pointed on it.

"Maybe it wasn't a coincidence that the island sank like it did." Zoe stated.

"The whole island was rigged to sink!" Rex gasped.

Cera blinked her eyes in amazement at what she just heard, "Incredible…" she then brought her fingers to her chin in deep thought, "That means an island like this couldn't have been made naturally for sure…." she said.

"Yeah you might be right Cera." Zoe answered her in agreement.

"Question is, who? Also how?" Rex then asked as he eyed the map again seeing it was made like some sort of Ancient Cypher or puzzle to solve.

"There sure are a lot of mysteries in the world and this is one of them." Cera noted folding her arms, "It's one that will have to be solved another time." she said at the end as she got back to thinking about the treasure they came here to find.

Jim, upon feeling another surge of hope erupt in his heart and veins felt empowered and the will to go on awoke in him once more. He stood up and took the map from Rex catching him a bit by surprise.

"Huh?"

"So if this peak is over there…." Jim read looking to one side, "And this one's over there…" he said looking to the other side, "Then the one above the X…" looking ahead, "Is that one!" he cried pointing straight ahead as everyone focused where he was aiming at.

"Get us over to that mountain peak doctor!" Max then cried out to Dr Z, making him scowl in annoyance for the umpteenth time.

"Call me Whitebeard or you're going nowhere!" Captain Whitebeard retorted stubbornly much to the D Team's annoyance.

"Okay Whitebeard! Can we go now?" Max grunted as he rubbed his temple.

As the captain twirled the ship's wheel and turned it in the direction of the island, he then folded his arms and huffed, "Fine, but you brats will bring back the treasure or you can forget about coming back on board!" he yelled out in frustration seeing that his own crew had failed so now he had to rely on the kids for this task as much as he hated it.

"Alright we got it! Sheesh…." Max hissed already having enough of the old man's squawking for one day.

"Sometimes I feel like throwing him overboard into a whale's mouth…." Cera grumbled to herself feeling tempted to do the deed personally if he didn't hold his tongue.

Before long they reached the shore, and hopping off the ship they ran straight to a clearing at the center of the island which was next to a rather tall hill, "According to the map, the treasure's right around here!" Jim spoke out as they arrived.

"Let's start looking!" Max added unaware they were being watched from above.

"All you're going to find is the end of the line!" a familiar voice spoke out against them from atop the hill which caught their attention.

"AH!" Looking up the D Team gasped to see Sheer was in fact waiting for them the entire time!

"Not you again!"

"We'll never let you get that treasure!" Max and Rex both yelled out angrily.

"Yeah? Well too bad it's not up to you!" Sheer gloated as she took out her dinosaur card and activated it against her choker, summoning forth her megaraptor once again which snarled viciously upon appearing!

"Dino slash!" Max and Rex both cried out as they slashed their dinosaur cards across their bracers, summoning Chomp and Ace to the field. Both dinosaurs charged straight towards their enemy in an effort to bring her down, but she ended up sidestepping them with ease as they charged passed her!

"You go search for the treasure Jim." Max told the other boy before looking to Cera, "Cera you back him up! The three of us will stay and fight Sheer!" The 2 of them nodded in response before looking to one another and hurrying off to search the area.

Seeing what they were up to, Sheer decided to make sure that they stayed put, "I think Meg needs some adornment! Spectral armour!" said Sheer as she activated her dinosaur's armour! After that she followed up with a wind move card! "And now, I'll unleash hurricane beat!" The huge raptor shot out a pair of tornadoes which ensnared a nearby boulder and carried it up, after that she leapt into the air and pounded at it with her hind legs rapidly and then smashing it into several piece with her tail sending the fragments straight at Jim!

"GAAAAH!" he cried in pain as he covered his head with the fragments pelting his arms painfully!

"Ge back Jim!" Cera yelled as she pulled him back out of the way of a larger piece before it smashed him down!

"Meg will take care of you while I go get the cosmos stone!" said Sheer smirking to herself before she took off down the hill she was at.

Cera blinked her eyes as the lady pirate's words brunet right into her memory, "C….Cosmos stone? As in…another one?" she blinked her eyes in surprise. As she thought about it carefully a memory flashed back through her mind, a massive meteor coloured in 7 auras of light before crashing down in Ancient Earth. It was then she began to realise that the yellow stone from before glowed a similar colour as to the yellow aura she saw in the meteor. "So there are more of them…." she realised seeing it may not have been a coincidence after all. Having seen the records, there was without a doubt that one stone was immensely powerful, which the space pirates already had, but if they had another in their possession who knows what might happen, and that could spell utter doom for anyone! "Then that means we have to stop her by any means necessary!" she said gritting her teeth angrily.

"I think it's going to be the other way around!" Zoe yelled as she took out her dinosaur card, "We're going to take care of Meg! Dino slash! Spring up parasaurolophus!" she yelled slashing the card and summoning out Paris to full size! As Paris appeared and charged ahead, Cera grabbed Jim's arm as he looked to her.

"Come on Jim, lets go while they hold off that dinosaur!" she said to him as he sweated anxiously, feeling worried for his friends in their battle before shrugging it off remembering what was at stake.

They were doing their part so it was time he did his as he nodded firmly in response, "Yeah…" he nodded as he looked to the D Team one more time, "Good luck you guys!" he called wishing them good luck before taking off with Cera to the other side away from the battle and to where Sheer had headed.

As they reached an area near the beach surrounded by tide pools and rocky stacks, "Let's check over here!" Cera then said as she summoned out Miku in chibi form who then landed on a nearby rock and squawked out loud, "Keep your eyes peeled Miku." she said as the trio began searching amongst the tide pools, grooves in the stone walls or close to the shore but could see no sign of a secret entrance or opening anywhere.

"We've looked everywhere but there's still no sign of it!" Jim cried out as he searched between a couple of rocks perched near the edge of the shore, "Argh! Where could it be!?" he then cried in frustration and impatience.

As Cera looked ahead she saw Chomp bite onto the megaraptor's arm before being thrown off to the side with ease! As Ace and Paris both charged at her, she responded with a swift tail swipe which caught them off guard as they were knocked back several feet away! "Tch! We'll have to hurry, they won't last much longer…." she clicked her tongue in annoyance before looking around more urgently. Sweating bullets as the pressure was getting to her, before eventually seeing something rather promising before looking to Jim behind her, "Hey Jim!" she called out to him as he turned from the tide pools he was wading through.

"Hmm?"

"I think I see something down there!" she said pointing down a large crevice she was at.

"Huh? You do?" he blinked his eyes curiously as then walked over to see. As he looked over the edge he saw an opening down below, "Hey! A cave!" he gasped as he edged in for a closer look.

"Tucked away and out of sight…." Cera commented as she put a finger to her chin in thought, "Seems like a spot to check out." she thought as she whistled to Miku who was nearby. She then looked to Cera who called her, before jumping off her rocky perch and gliding onto her her shoulder. Seeing Jim was rather dangerously close, "Watch out it looks pretty steep…." she said warning him.

Unfortunately her warning came a little too late as the edge he was standing on suddenly broke off under the pressure of his exerted weight, as he tumbled down hard to the bottom, "Argh!"

"Jim!" Cera widened her eyes and Miku squawked in alarm as he came to a hard fall on the bottom.

"Ugh!"

"You okay down there!?" she cried out in concern as he gritted his teeth, feeling some pain after tumbling down the rocky slope but mostly unharmed.

"Y…Yeah I think so….." he grunted as he pushed himself up to his legs again. As he looked ahead he widened his eyes as he looked at what was through the cave, from an opening at the top sunlight shone down illuminating the cave revealing all sorts of ancient treasures such as armour and weapons inside wooden crates all tucked around different corners of the cave. And on top of that, there was a treasure chest sitting directly under the light which meant that had to be holding the jewel they had come to find, "Whoa! I found it!" he cheated in excitement and filled with hope much to Cera and Miku's surprise.

"You did!?" she gasped widening her eyes and realising this was something she couldn't ignore. "I'll come too!" As Jim ran inside she slid down the slope steadily with Miku gripping not her shoulder as she followed him inside. As she did, Jim headed straight for the chest while she took the time to admire the other valuables that were littering the floors of the secret cave, "Look at all this…." she breathed in amazement seeing all the sacks of gold, jewels and antiques all around them. It was no doubt most valuable and what many would kill to get their hands on. Mike's eyes glittered as if her primitive bird instincts were being awaken within her somewhat, as she held her arms out and and squawked out in excitement at the riches before her eyes. Seeing how enticed she was, Cera couldn't help but chuckle to see her like that, "You want some Miku?" she asked as her dinosaur flashed a set of puppy dog eyes at her while cooing innocently. "Haha, okay sure, but let's not get too greedy okay?" She giggled in response considering she intended to take back some as souvenirs for this trip anyways. "Also, if we're lucky we might find that jewel somewhere in here too." She thought as she began picking up some of the most valuable or easiest to carry from the bunch, which included a red jewel necklace and some gold coins which she then slipped into her pocket much to Miku's excitement.

"The treasure!" Jim suddenly cried out snapping them out of their thoughts and catching their attention.

"Huh?" As Cera walked over to see, she widened her eyes in awe and shock at the blue jewel that was nestled gently amongst the many gold coins and jewels inside the chest! "AH!" Her jaw hung in amazement as she instantly recognised why it was so familiar, it was just like the stone Sophia had back in Rome! "It's just like…."

"I'll take that!" suddenly a boomerang slid under the chest and snatched it out of Jim's hands much to the boy's shock and alarm!

"AH! NO!" He and Cera looked up to see the boomerang return to Sheer as she now carried the chest and the stone inside!

"Ahahahaha! The cosmos stone is now mine!" she laughed sinisterly as she flapped her wings and began taking off through the hole in the ceiling which she no doubt entered from earlier!

Cera then gritted her teeth in realisation that they were playing into the palm of her hand from the very start, "She was waiting for us here the entire time…." she hissed realising she used them to find the jewel or intended to have them act as scapegoats for any possible traps that may have been lying around or rigged to blow!

"Hey come back here!" Jim yelled as he ran ahead only to see she was out of range as she flew far beyond how much he could jump. As she edged closer and closer to the opening, Jim's legs began to buckle as his best hope of saving his people and fulfilling his father's last wishes were slipping before his very eyes, "NO! She's getting away!" he cried out as he held his arm out, several tears falling from his eyes.

"Not on my watch!" Cera yelled angrily as Miku snarled mirroring her expression, "Let's go Spiny!" she yelled taking out her dinosaur card and slashing it! "Dino slash! Gush out Spinosaurus!" Spiny appeared in full form and roared out at Sheer leaping out and snapping at her, forcing her to speed away and out of his massive jaws, only for him to block her escape route out as she gritted her teeth in frustration! Unbeknownst to everyone, Spiny fixated his eyes at the treasure chest sensing a great power inside, power which he wanted to make his own as he roared viciously. "You're not getting leaving here with that!" Cera yelled as she, Jim and Miku shot angry glares at Sheer showing they weren't messing around this time!

Despite the opposition she faced blocking her exit, Sheer quickly grinned sadistically, "Heh, did you really think I didn't plan for this?" she snickered holding up another dinosaur card in her hand, "Come forth deltadromeus!" Placing the card on her necklace, a medium sized blue carnivore materialised before her which roared out viciously much to Jim's horror and Cera's frustration at another obstacle she was putting against them!

"AH!" Jim widened his eyes and backed away behind Cera who held her ground firmly.

"A deltadromeus…." she breathed before seeing Sheer was taking things a step further to ensure her escape was certain.

"A girl's gotta choose the right accessories and I know just what's perfect for my dinosaur!" She boasted as she equipped her signature weapon onto her dino, "Spectral armour!" The marks around the deltadromeus glowed before exploding into armour for it! Spiny roared and charged ahead, but the deltadromeus responded with a swift tail swipe which knocked him into a nearby wall as he roared in pain from the impact!

"Spiny!" Cera cried out as the deltadromeus quickly looked over to her and Jim and snarled at them both as it stood above them both, "Urgh!" They both grunted feeling overwhelmed by its presence as they were helpless before its' might!

"Way I see it you've only got 2 choices now." Sheer snickered as she hovered right above them and resumed her ascent to the opening up top, "You can either try to follow me and fail miserably." she said, "Or you can stay here and help your puny little friend because that's what you goody two shoes always do." She smirked already knowing the choice Cera would make, Cera herself knew it too and that was what frustrated her most because they're was nothing she could do to stop the pirate from escaping!

"Grrr…."

"Frankly I don't care which you choose because either way I've won! Hahahaha!" she laughed out loud in triumph before exiting through the rooftop.

"No! Get back here!" Jim yelled out desperately, "My village needs that gemstone!" he pleaded, which fell on deaf ears as she soon escaped from the top, leaving Jim to fall to his knees in despair, "No…." he breathed as he fell on his front too and could only free in place unable to comprehend what had just happened.

"Jim…." Cera and Miku eyed him with sympathy, understanding what he was going through. But looking at it another way, if the blue stone was anything like the yellow one, it couldn't be touched by bare hands and would no doubt do more harm than good. Of course there was the chance it could be different but with such great power it would be unwise to take such a chance for the risks were far too great.

ROAR!

"Ah!" The loud snarl of the deltadromeus got their attention as it rushed towards them! Fortunately Spiny was quick to respond as he rushed in and tackled the smaller dinosaur causing it to slam into the other side of the cave with a loud thud!

"Jim!" Cera yelled out loud before responding with her element booster! "Dino tector on!" Equipping it to her dinoshot, Spiny was enshrouded in water before blue crystal armour covered his body and he roared out powerfully! He then rushed forward as the deltadromeus tried desperately to hold him back with his arms, but the larger dinosaur soon overpowered him as he began stomping on him repeatedly! "Get out of here Jim! I can handle this!" Cera then yelled holding her arm out to him.

"But-" before he could say something in response (out of concern for Cera or feeling helpless and unable to make a difference now) Cera then shot him a serious look.

"See if you can do something to stop Sheer! There might still be time!" she said as he gasped at her words. After that she turned back to the battle to see deltadromeus manage to kick off Spiny before both dinosaurs began to square off with one another, "Meanwhile I'll make sure you get outside in one piece!" she added at the end as both dinosaurs roared fiercely at each other.

"Cera…." seeing no way to argue with her, Jim gritted his teeth hard and shouted out to her, "Okay! Good luck!" he cried running out through the other exit as fast as his 2 legs could carry. Meanwhile Spiny roared and rushed out, clashing heads with the deltadromeus as they each shoved at one another refusing to back down!

"Go for it Spiny!" Cera then cheered with Miku, spurring the spinosaurus to quickly swing out his tail and knock the deltadromeus to the other side!

(Meanwhile)

Chomp roared before rushing out at the Megaraptor with all his might, but unfortunately the armoured carnivore anticipated his charge and thrust and so delivered a surprising counterattack in the form of a somersault kick straight under his chin which sent him flying into a rock! He roared in pain as he slumped to the ground, exposing his underbelly, which the raptor took advantage of! Speeding towards him and leaping into the air, she delivered a strike like that of a martial artist and falcon combined, striking him directly in the gut an causing him to roar and cough out in agony before returning him to a card!

"Chomp no!" Max cried out sadly for his partner while Meg turned around to face Ace and Paris who remained.

"Not good, now we're down to just 2 dinosaurs…." Rex gasped feeling the pressure getting to him now.

"Tch!" Zoe clicked her tongue seeing their difficult battle just became even more difficult. Before long she caught sight of someone flying nearby at the top of the hill they were at as she looked up, "Hmm?" Blinking her eyes for a closer look she widened them before pointing out, "Up there! Look it's Sheer!" she cried catching the boys' attention.

"Ah!"

"Look what I've got!" Sheer gloated as she opened the chest she held in her hands, flashing a certain blue gem that was nesting inside the other treasures inside.

"The treasure!" Max gasped widening his eyes at the sight of the gem.

"It's like the yellow cosmos stone only blue!" Rex pointed out.

"Now that we have the second cosmos stone we'll be leaving this primitive pirate land for good!" Sheer smirked as she summoned her ship which was parked nearby on the island.

"They'll take our parents with them…." Max gasped realising they lost again.

"Since you've been so helpful I'll leave megaraptor here as a parting gift." said Sheer sending them a few parting words as she entered her ship, taking the treasure with her as well as leaving behind a huge mess for the D Team to clean up, ensuring that they still stayed several moves behind them as she jetted away into the sky and out of sight!

"Oh great…." Max grunted in frustration as he looked back to the battle.

Nearby, Jim had just made it out of the cave and as he climbed out of the ditch where the entrance was, he could only look on helplessly as Sheer escaped, along with what ma have been his village's last and only hope. "No…." His legs shook filled with despair, as his energy began to give out and he fell down to his knees. He came so close only to have his only chance being snatched away right before his eyes, all hope of ever saving his village as well as failing to keep his promise to his father, as bitter tears began falling out from his eyes painfully.

Nearby Meg swung out her tail at Paris, knocking her off to the side before rushing out at Ace! She then glowed white before splitting into several copies of herself while rushing at full force towards the carnotaurus!

Rex widened his eyes recognising the move, "Ninja attack!?" He responded taking a move card out, "I'll counter with ultimate wind!" Slashing the move card, a massive gust of wind surged through Ace as he rushed forward at full force towards the speeding raptors! Both dinosaurs soon collided past one another in what appeared to be a stalemate! Moments passed and Ace suddenly stumbled to his knees, but he soon managed to muster enough strength to keep himself on his feet. Megaraptor on the other hand wasn't as lucky, completely outmatched by Ace's superior move, she screeched in pain as her armour shattered to bits before returning to card form. "That was awesome Ace!" Rex cheered as his partner roared out in triumph.

(Meanwhile)

Back at her pod which was heading back to the pirates' mothership, Sheer scowled hard to see her dinosaur had been defeated much quicker than she thought as she placed a finger to her chin in serious thought, "Hmm….Those kids could prove to be a nuisance if they follow us…." she thought to herself before striking sinisterly, "Maybe I should take advantage of the situation and take them out once and for all." she thought to herself as she held up a wind move card which she fingered in her hand, "And this boomerang blow move card should do the trick." she chuckled to herself as she ordered her deltadromeus to go on the attack while the kids had just let down their guard!

(Meanwhile)

Before Rex could recall Ace to his card, a loud roar suddenly sounded from behind which caught the D Team's attention.

"Hmm?" They turned around to look at the hill where Sheer had came out from.

"What was that?" Asked Zoe nervously as Paris nearby had just managed to kick herself up to her feet and she and Ace were still staggering uneasily from their battle, which unfortunately wasn't quite over yet.

BOOM!

"Huh!?" They gasped as a huge explosion erupted from one corner of the hill, and flying out of it was a slender blue dinosaur equipped with purple armour! It kicked up and roar angrily, surprising the D Team.

"A deltadromeus in armour!?" Zoe exclaimed in surprise at the fact there was another Spectral dinosaur in the vicinity just when they barely managed to win against Megaraptor!

Another roar soon sounded from the cave entrance, and charging out of it was a large spinosaurus in blue armour, "It's Spiny!" Max gasped before their friend Cera soon ran out of the cave following him.

"And Cera too!" Rex pointed out as she stood her ground firmly while the deltadromeus got to its legs and roared at its larger adversary!

"Take him down Spiny!" Cera cried as Spiny roared and charged ahead, baring his teeth ready to sink them in!

"Back him up Paris!" Zoe punched forward as Paris rushed forward, while Ace held back hoping to recuperate after his last attack. Before Spiny could get a bite on the deltadromeus, it suddenly glowed white activating its move card, jumping up into the air and spinning like a boomerang and diving away from Spiny as his jaws snapped shut on a mouthful of air! "AH!" Zoe gasped as the deltatromeus spun right into Paris' side, shredding against her before blowing her off across the ground! She roared in pain before glowing green and returning to card form! "No Paris!" Zoe ran out to grab her partner's card.

"Zoe get back!" Rex warned her but she ignored it as her partner's safety room priority over her own! She held her hand out and grabbed the card from the ground, but the ground soon shook and looking up she stumbled back as the deltadromeus charged straight at her baring its own teeth and jaws open ready to snap her up!

She closed her eyes and held her arm out crying loudly in fear, "AAAAAAHHHH!"

"ZOE!" Cera and Rex both screamed as they ran to her despite knowing they'd never make it in time! Just when all hope seemed lost-

"I've got you!" A loud voice yelled as a figure jumped in front and snatched Zoe out away in time as the deltadromeus snapped and missed!

"AH!" Cera and Rex both gasped in surprise and Zoe soon opened her eyes to see herself in the hands of her unexpected saviour.

"M…Max?" she liked her eyes as he gritted his teeth painfully having just skidded across the the rocky surface while rescuing her though fortunately didn't scrape open any wounds as he looked at her.

"Urgh…you okay Zoe?" he grunted with worry as he panted with exhaustion.

Seeing him so close to her and how surprisingly heroic he appeared right now, Zoe couldn't help but blush and blink her eyes nervously as she looked away, "Y…Yeah…I'm fine thanks…." she squeaked unable to maintain eye contact with him for long.

Oblivious to how she was feeling now and more concerned with her wellbeing instead, Max simply smiled and let out a sigh of relief to hear her say she was fine, "Phew! That's a relief…." A loud roar suddenly broke them out of their moment as they looked ahead, to see the armoured deltadromeus approaching them and holding its claws out!

"AH!" Zoe gasped in alarm.

"Grr!" Max gritted his teeth and stood up, holding his arms stretched out widely and holding a firm stance as the predator closed in on them both!

When it seemed hopeless for the both of them, "Hey you! Back off!" Rex yelled out to the deltadromeus as it snarled facing him and Cera, who had both Ace and Spiny backing them both out now!

"Pick on someone your own size you coward!" Cera cried out towards the armoured carnivore as Ace and Spiny both roared out battle challenges at it! Enraged at their insults, the deltadromeus snarled and charged towards them both, as Cera then quickly turned over to her partner who stood next to her, "Rex! Time for a fusion move!" she said as he nodded back with a smirk.

"Just what I was thinking!" On cue the both of them each took out a move card and slashed them in perfect sync with one another!

"Freeze Sphere!" They both shouted as Spiny and Ace both glowed in unison! Spiny quickly shot out a sphere of water which swallowed up the oncoming deltadromeus and left it suspended helplessly in the air! After that Ace charged up a powerful sonic blast through his jaws and then firing it out as a spiralling funnel, swallowing the water sphere completely and causing it to freeze completely! After that Spiny roared angrily as he rushed forward and leapt, smashing through the ice sphere with ease and sending the deltadromeus flying out of it as it crashed into a nearby rock wall and the collapsing to the ground utterly overwhelmed by the cold and impact, as its armour shattered and it returned to a card.

"Alright!" Rex then cheered in triumph while Spiny and Ace both roared victoriously before being returned to their cards. After that Max went to go reclaim Chomp's card along with megaraptor's while Cera went to pick up the one with deltadromeus on it.

"A small victory….." she said with a hard expression on her face at the card she held before sighing at the sight of the D Team gathering around a devastated Jim who seemed to have lost all hope. "Too bad we lost the prize we came for…." For all she knew the pirates saw dinosaurs as no more than mere tools, so it didn't matter how many they lost as long as they got the prize they came for. And now that they had it, it seemed she and her friends were now once again steps behind them.

"Oh Jim…" Zoe said sympathetically as Max went up to him with Rex and Cera soon followed in.

"Are you alright?" he asked.

"I was so close…I had the treasure right in my hands…" Jim sniffled bitterly as he gripped the ground hard with his hands, feeling angry and hateful at himself for failing his people when they needed him most, and on top of that it was right in front of him too, "Now how will I save my village!?" As soon as he finished the island began to rumble all of a sudden.

"Huh!?" Apparently even after having suffered another defeat there were still many other surprises left in store for the D Team as the ocean around them began to recede mysteriously!

"The water's going down again!" Max gasped.

"Something must have changed!" Zoe cried.

"I'll bet it was because the blue cosmos stone was taken!" Rex suggested seeing it as the only possible explanation, perhaps it maintained control over the water in this area somehow.

Cera narrowed her eyes recognising a connection, if that was the case then perhaps the cosmos stones had some kind of affiliation with elements like that of the dinosaurs too….

That theory would have to wait, as there was a far more urgent matter at hand, which Max soon pointed out, "We'd better get off this island!" he cried out with urgency in his tone. "Huh?" As he looked ahead he widened his eyes to see their ride was leaving them behind! "Dr Z where are you going!?" Max yelled shaking his fist at the fleeing Doctor who was no doubt leaving them for dead if it meant saving his own skin!

"You can't just leave us behind!" Rex followed.

"Don't worry I'll be sure to send you a post card!" Dr Z snickered seeing this as his chance to get the D Team off his back once and for all, "And I told you my name is Whitebeard!" he yelled once more as his ship soon disappeared beneath the waves.

Before long the seismic shaking soon calmed down and Treasure Island returned to its original state much to the relief of the D Team as the worst was finally over, though there was still the matter of Dr Z abandoning them like garbage for someone else to pick up.

"Tch! Typical Dr Z….." Cera clicked her tongue in annoyance as the others began to mirror her scowl of annoyance, "Can't be counted on anything…." she then muttered rubbing her temple wondering how they were going to get back at him for ditching them.

"So then….What do we do now?" Jim then asked worriedly as he looked around to see no ships for miles, "Without a ship we're stranded here like shipwrecked sailors!" he then cried in a panic before falling to his knees and tearing up painfully once more, "Now I'll….never see my village again…." he wept painfully, fritting his teeth and pounding his fist on the ground multiple times in anguish. All the strife and struggles he, his father and friends went through to get this far….all for nothing? The thought of it was tearing him up inside and he couldn't see any reason to even live now that he had nothing left at all….

The D Team sighed sadly with him, understanding the pain he was going through if failing his most important mission, but not wishing for him to be hard on himself Max then went over to him and placed a kind hand on his shoulder, "Hey no sweat Jim, I wouldn't give up hope just yet." he said to him nicely.

"Yeah," said Rex as he knelt down and patted him on the back, "You shouldn't underestimate us you know?" Jim looked up to him with teary eyes and a slight wet nose, "Soon we'll be off this place and sailing back to civilisation in no time."

Jim then rubbed his eyes, "H…How can you be so sure?" he sniffled unable to see the bright side if there was one, "There's no ship around for miles….and….even one does pass by how will we ever let them know?" he cried looking around to see nothing but vast ocean for miles.

"Just wait and you'll see." Cera replied as she began dialling on her dinoshot, pitching in a call to the Backlander, "Hey Jonathan! We need you to come pick us up, I'm sending you our current location." she said through the COM.

"Roger that Cera." he replied on the other end as he began typing in commands on the ship's console, "One more thing," she then added at the end, "Later on could you tell Helga to discipline Dr Z real good when you pick him up? He actually ditched here on Treasure island."

"Did he now?" Jonathan brought a finger to his chin in thought, "Well then you can be sure this injustice will not go unpunished! You have my word!" he said bowing with respect to her.

"Thanks, see ya." Cera smirked as she cut the call off. As soon as she did, she began to snicker and the rest of her friends giggled rather sinisterly knowing Dr Z and the Alpha gang were going to get it now!

"Hee hee hee!"

"Hehehe!"

Jim blinked his eyes in confusion, "Hey what's that all about just now?" he asked curiously.

"Heh, let's just say it's our ticket off this island." Max replied to him with confidence.

Before Jim could ask again, Zoe suddenly caught sight of something in the distance as she pointed out, "Hey guys check it out!" she cried as the others looked to where she was focusing on.

"Hmm?"

Coming into view was a familiar warship, one which had pursued them for quite sometime, "Isn't that the British army ship?" Rex asked.

As it came closer Jim widened his eyes and cried out, "It is!"

"Is that a bad thing?" Max asked feeling rather unsure.

"That depends…." Cera answered him, "With Dr Z and his trash talking pirate squad gone, maybe they'd listen to us now and hopefully let us on board." As they focused a bit harder they could see the navy begin to fish out the scattered pirate crew which were spread out and drifted along with the remains of their former ship all about the ocean waves, before taking in Blackbeard and his first mate onboard last.

"And look, they're taking care of Blackbeard and his crew so that's one less problem to worry about." Rex pointed out seeing the winds were blowing more in their favour.

Despite seeing the pirates being brought to justice, Jim still couldn't help but frown a bit seeing it wasn't a complete happy ending, "I hope so…." the only thing that could make this perfect was if he could see his father once more, then again, since he only had bad news to bring him about losing the legendary healing jewel that could save their village, maybe it would be a good thing he wasn't around to hear that news, though it didn't make him feel any better.

The D Team would have to accept a rather bittersweet ending to their high seas adventure, when a familiar face soon appeared on board right next to the Navy commander, "Wait a minute…." Max muttered squinting his eyes closely before widening them and recognising the figure, "Guys!" he cried out surprising them.

"Huh!?"

"Look! On that ship! Isn't that?"

Jim soon recognised the man Max was pointing out, "It's my dad!" he gasped in amazement to see him not just fine but now on board safely with the Navy commander as they began loading Blackbeard and his crew onboard and taking them into custody.

As Rex and Zoe smiled happily for Jim, Cera placed a hand on her chest and let out a deep sigh of relief, "He's alive….." she breathed out loud before smiling brightly, "Thank goodness."

The rest of her friends soon heard her words as they looked to her in surprise, "Huh?"

"Cera? You know him?" Zoe and Rex blinked their eyes at her as she then scratched her head sheepishly.

"N…Not exactly….." she chuckled nervously seeing everyone was focusing their attention on her now, "You see it's a pretty funny story…." As she soon began to confess the whole story on how she rescued Smith from the renegade navy faction before meeting up with he rest of the gang, they widened their eyes in shock at her story as she concluded it.

The one who didn't take it well though was Jim, as he gritted his teeth and yelled out loudly in anger, "Seriously!? You knew he was alive this whole time and didn't tell us!?" he cried.

"Err did I forget to mention that? Hehe….." Cera sweatdropped nervously as Jim held a hard scowl at her while her D Team friends either sighed in disappointment or just smiled lightly and no more.

"Cera how could you!?"Jim yelled once more in anger and frustration at how worried he was the entire journey searching for the blue jewel and to think Cera herself knew the entire time that he was alive and well yet never said a thing.

She then gulped down nervously seeing Jim indeed had every right to be mad at her, "Well a lot came up you know, so it slipped my mind okay!?" she cried out waving her hands out in a frantic before lowering her head down in shame admitting she was indeed in the wrong, "S…Sorry guys….but all that matters now is that he's okay and we can now get off this place before it really does sink for good." she then suggested hoping they'd move on from it now and in case another unforeseen event would cut their moment short.

As the others looked to one another and considered her words they decided it'd be best they leave it at that for now and just take the good as it came without complaining about it, "Yeah, I guess that's something good I guess." Jim muttered to himself before taking a breath to calm himself down and then eying at her seriously, "Hey Cera."

"Yeah Jim?" Cera swallowed as a bead of anxious sweat dripped from her cheek

She braced herself for another stern rant from the young boy, but instead, he smiled and held a hand to her, "Thanks….I'm really grateful for what you've done…..now I know I'm not alone anymore in this." he said with gratitude in his voice and sincerity as the others looked on in surprise at how well he took it for a change.

Looking at the hand and then at his sincere expression once again, Cera smiled as she accepted his thanks, "Glad to hear that." she said as they shook on it.

"Oh Jim…" said Zoe smiling feeling touched at how he was opening up to the others now, as Max and Rex smiled with her too.

Max soon folded his arms behind his head an looked out to sea, "Well no way they'll see us from here, we'll have to get closer somehow before they pass out of range." he said.

"Well we can't swim all the way there from here, we'd never make it to them in time." Rex then added seeing their options were limited. There was no telling how much further the Backlander would take and by the time they finsihed building some sort of boat or raft the ship would be long gone by then.

Cera then folded her arms in thought of how they could signal to the men further off in the distance or get to them without having to swim there. Thinking about it for a bit she soon got the answer as she snapped her fingers in realisation, "Maybe not us, but I know someone who can!" Cera cried out as the others looked to her in surprise, "I've got an idea. Dino slash!" Slashing a card, Spiny appeared below them in the waters as he roared out in appearance. Looking up above he then raised his head till he could look at the D Team on the cliff edge as Cera climbed over his south and onto his head, "Hop on guys, we're ready to move out." she said waving her hand encouragingly to them to get on.

As the D Team looked at Spiny and then at the ship ahead they sweatdropped uneasily before looking at her unsurely, "Are you sure….about this Cera?" Max asked insecurely.

"I don't know if those guys are going to take seeing a dinosaur up close so lightly…." Rex added shrugging his shoulders feeling the same as Max as Zoe and Jim both nodded in agreement.

"Trust me, it'll be alright." she said to them with assurance, "Now we'd better hurry before they move off too far for us to follow." she added on top of that.

"Okay if you say so…." said Max seeing her point as he climbed on board Spiny's head and slid down his neck to the front of his sail.

"Better than staying here on this island doing nothing I guess….." Rex added as he did the same.

There wasn't enough room to sit on the front so they had to settle for resting on his tail, which they were rather anxious about where it's be safe. Cera thankfully reassured them that it'd be fine as she urged Spiny to swim towards the ship as gently as possible so he wouldn't accidentally throw off his passengers along the way.

As they approached the ship that was soon about to move on, one soldier who was looking through a telescope soon caught sight of Spiny approaching them from the front! "Was!" He nearly dropped the glass but grabbed it back in time to look again. Seeing his eyes were clear as day he cried out to his commander, "Sir! There's a sea monster approaching us from the south!" he yelled alarming the rest of the crew.

"What!?" The commander ran out and took the glass from his subordinate's hand. Looking through and seeing he was right, the rest of the men soon followed as they gasped in alarm at a sea dragon that was approaching their ship!

"AH!"

"Impossible! I thought those only existed in myths!"

"It's a dragon! Men! Prepare the cannons!" The commander ordered as some of the soldiers began to rush down to the lower levels and arm their weapons!

Smith came on the scene to see what the commotion was about, but as he looked over the edge and looked with a set of binoculars, he gasped in surprise upon recognising that same dragon, along with several children and his own son Jim! "AH!"

The commander held his arm out as he prepared to give the order of attack, "Take aim and-"

"WAIT! Hold your fire!" Smith yelled as he ran in front of the commander's line of sight waving his arms out!

"Smith!? What is the meaning of this!?" the navy leader exclaimed in surprise that he'd call off an attack on a monster that could potentially sink their ship!

"I know that dragon!" Smith added standing firmly, "It's the beast that saved me from the renegade faction!"

The commander widened his eyes along with he rest of his men who heard Smith's outrageous claim, "What? You can't be serious!" he gasped.

"I am…." Smith replied calmly as he handed the commander his binoculars for a closer look, "Also, there are children on board, including my own son!"

As the commander looked through and saw Smith was indeed telling the truth, he gasped in disbelief, "AH!" he couldn't tell which was more surprising, the fact he was about to fire on unarmed and defenceless children and at the fact they somehow managed to win over the trust of such a massive creature. Regardless, he held his arm out, "Men! Hold your fire!" he yelled demanding that they call off their attack.

"But commander-"

"That's an order! Stand down now!" he retorted silencing one of his subordinates as they saluted him.

"Yes sir!" They said in unison as Spiny and the kids soon approached the warship, the kids deeply relieved to see the Navy had indeed lowered their weapons and that Cera was right about them not being a threat.

"Lower the ropes! Let them on board!" He then ordered as he turned around, "In the meantime, I will question Blackbeard and his men." He said walking away with Smith, as the men lowered several rope ladders down from the upper deck to where Spiny was and the kids slowly climbed up them, with Cera going last as she returned Spiny to her card.

Her friends soon let out sighs of relief as they came on board, "Phew, the was close…." Max wheezed while Zoe, Rex and Jim all felt rather overwhelmed by the experience.

"Told you guys it'd be alright." said Cera to them with confidence as they smiled back at her with sweaty faces out of anxiety.

"Yeah, you sure did…." they all said before being escorted by the soldiers up front where the rogue navy leader was bound in ropes and the entire pirate gang was trapped in barrels while their parrot was pecking at them in frustration.

"Excuse me captain? But what about my father?" Jim asked the navy leader nervously who looked to him and his friends.

"We realised that your father was not part of the renegade group. And as such he is free to go." he said as he allowed Smith to pass, who eyed his boy with teary eyes, as though he hadn't seen him in over an eternity.

"My son…."

"Oh dad!" Jim cried as both father and son embraced one another closely.

"Jimmy boy…."

"Your map really did lead us to a hidden treasure just like you said…." Jim sniffled with joy that his father's map was indeed true, but soon came the hard part, "But right when I had it a pirate stole it…." he sniffled painfully feeling as though he let his dad and village down when they were all counting on him. He was expecting a harsh reprimanding from his father, but instead was met with kind words of encouragement which helped lift the weights of guilt from his heart.

"There's another lead I have Jim, on another healing jewel." said his father calmly in response thankfully.

"So there is hope for your village." Max commented as he and the others smiled feeling happy all wasn't lost for the Smiths.

"Dad, do you remember Max and Rex and Zoe and Cera? They helped me get back here!" said Jim pointing out to the D Team showing they deserved as much credit for their efforts, to which his father gladly accepted.

"Thanks for looking out for Jim." said Smith with gratitude, as he also looked towards Cera and smiled at her thanking her for saving HIS own life earlier in the woods.

"You're welcome and we wish you and Jim good luck in finding the other jewel that can help your village." said Max as he scratched his cheek bashfully at the phrase he was getting, while the others simply smiled feeling honoured they were able to help them. Before long a huge shadow drifted over them all as they looked up to see a familiar flying ship which had arrived on the scene.

"Ah the Backlander's here right on time." Cera smiled with her friends, though not everyone else was as pleased to see it as they were.

"Great ghosts! There's a ship in the sky!" Blackbeard exclaimed in disbelief as he and his entire captured crew looked up in horror. Over all the strange and bizarre things they saw over the past couple of days this no doubt was the one to make them give up their careers in piracy for good.

"I don't want to be a pirate anymore!" Copper wailed pleadingly crying his eyes out and wetting his pants while inside the barrel!

"Oh boy, I think those guys are scarred for life now…." Cera whistled though after looking at the situation it may be a good thing.

Now the time and come for them to part ways with yet another one of their new allies they made across space and time, "Time for us to go Jim." said Rex as the D Team gathered in a group to be teleported.

"I sure hope you find your parents and everything turns out alright for you." said Jim.

"Thank you, we're glad you found your dad…" Max replied as he and Jim both shook hands and finally and made peace with one another. Despite the struggles they faced along the way and in getting along with one another, it was all worth it in the end for a happy ending as both teams gave their farewells to one another wishing each other best of luck in their own missions.

"Bye, you be careful." Jim replied.

"You too." Cera nodded as they soon were enveloped in the bright light of the teleporter.

"See ya!" Max waved as he and the others were soon lifted up to the ship. Before Zoe could follow them though, she felt her hand grabbed by Jim much to her surprise.

"Zoe wait! I want to say something!" he said seriously.

"Okay but just don't go overboard." she replied hoping it wasn't anything too over dramatic like he acted last time.

He eyed her seriously before smiling warmly, even though the parting would hurt, he knew it had to be done as he decided to send off his dream girl with a smile and not a whimper, "I want to say….that I'll always remember you….And I hope we'll meet again someday…." he said to her, having no regrets about their adventure and time together, even if it was short he enjoyed every second of it and would value it even more than any treasure on the high seas.

"Thanks…." Zoe replied as Cera couldn't help but smile at what she witnessed. Friendships can indeed last lifetimes and transcend space and time, perhaps their actions here would echo across the scrolls of time and space from here on and reach deep into generations to come from here on. A treasure that would easily transcend others, so in a way, they may actually meet one another again someday, and for many more new people they would soon come to meet down the road.

The thoughts though were soon interrupted, as Jim quickly brought Zoe in for a quick kiss on her cheek, finally scoring his personal goal before letting her go back with her friends.

"WHAAAA!?" Max and Rex both cried out in surprise while Cera covered her mouth in surprise.

"Oh my…." was all she said unexpectedly as they disappeared into the ship.

Meanwhile the Alpha gang had just came out through the doors, shivering terrified after the stern punishment Helga put them through in scrubbing the barnacles off the ship they took earlier for leaving Max and the others behind, when the rest of the D Team soon appeared in the control deck. Despite being surprised by the unexpected kiss Jim have Zoe, Rex shrugged it off quickly as he yelled out his orders to Jonathan up front, "Jonathan set a course for our parents!" he said firmly as the android nodded back at him in turn.

"Roger that!" On cue, he pressed a lever forward causing the Backlander to speed away into the distance and then disappearing into the time stream, leaving the islands behind, closing another chapter in their adventures across Space and Time.

Later on, as the ship coursed smoothly through the time stream, Max gulped down hard, still unable to move past what he saw earlier, how Jim managed to give one of his close friends and actual smooch on her cheek. Inside his heart all kinds of newfound emotions he never thought possible were beginning to well up inside him, and he was worried about how Zoe herself was feeling about that, out of concern for her as a friend mostly, or so he thought, "H….Hey Zoe?" he asked her as she turned to him.

"Hmm?"

Max then swallowed hard as he began to say what needed to be said, "What was that about just now?" he asked with his words choking him as he forced them out of his dry throat.

"What was what all about Max?" Zoe asked innocently even though she knew exactly what he meant.

"You know what I mean, that thing that went on with Jim…" Max twiddled his fingers unsure of how to address it. He himself couldn't describe the emotions and thoughts running wild through his own mind now, as much as he wanted to know how Zoe really felt during that little intimate moment with Jim, he didn't want to give himself away or give the wrong impression in the process.

"What thing Max? I don't know what you're talking about." Zoe replied continuing to play coy in an effort to tease him.

"This is just like one of those romantic comedy films I've seen on tv once…." Cera snickered to herself as she and everyone else but Jonathan stared at the pair as a scene out of a soap opera or romantic comedy began playing before their eyes.

"You leaned in and then he leaned in and then-"

Zoe suddenly gained a rather dangerous look on her face as she leaned in sneakily to his face, "Are you saying you're jealous Jim kissed me on the cheek?" she suggested slyly which made Taylor all the more flustered and embarrassed.

"Of course I'm not jealous! No way! No way!" Max cried out as he waved his arms out in a flurry.

As much as he regretted asking and wanted to stop playing this game, Zoe wasn't about to let him off easily as she blushed red slightly while smiling cheekily at her friend getting all flustered and embarrassed, "There's no harm in a little kiss on the cheek. Here I'll prove it to you."

As she said that, Rex widened his eyes in shock while Cera blinked her eyes in surprise, "AH!?"

"Oh my, is she serious?" she said covering her mouth in shock. She knew Zoe was strong willed but she never expected her to actually get that gutsy and direct while being surrounded by so many people.

Zoe then puckered her lips and closed her eyes while leaning in playfully, causing Max's heart to race uncontrollably as he backed away anxiously.

"Err…STOP THAT!" he squeaked as he quickly backed away and ended up causing something to snap behind him!

BEEP BEEP

A loud sound suddenly came on making him look behind, "AAAAH! Oh no the controller!" he cried out loud in a panic as he looked behind to see he snapped some sort of lever in his effort to get away from Zoe!

THE EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN SYSTEM HAS BEEN ACTIVATED!

"Is that bad?" Max asked nervously upon hearing the computerised voice of the Backlander.

"Does that sound good at all Max?" Cera replied raising an eyebrow at him.

"If it shuts down now we'll break apart!" Rex yelled out in alarm as the warning sirens became louder!

WARNING! ONE MINUTE TO SYSTEM SHUTDOWN!

"AH!?" Everyone gasped seeing their ship was now in danger of being torn apart in the time space continuum for the umpteenth time!

Zoe then blushed red in embarrassment before looking around in a panic, "Oh, well I didn't think there was any harm in it…." she muttered in embarrassment as Cera narrowed her eyes at her in disappointment.

As the ship slowly began to spin out of control once more, Cera could only sigh deeply and facepalm as she scrunched up her face, "Not again…..for once can't something go right?" she whined in dismay wondering what they ever did to deserve this.

And thus concludes the Caribbean island arc. Stay tuned for Ancient China and the adventures to come, especially for Cera and Terry. Hope you enjoyed the battle I had here and the new fusion move too. Also each of the dinosaurs except Spiny were affected by the cosmos stones of their respective element so wanted to have that here. Also the deltadromeus that Sheer used was seen in Bad deal during Seth's flashback along with the carcharodontosaurus.
