Me: Finally my dinos, the wait is over! I've finally gotten out of my writers block and have written the next chapter for Wrath of the Enemy! I apologize for the wait, again it's the usual work and writers block and I hope you aren't too mad at me for the wait. But without any more delay, let's get rolling!
Disclaimer: I have not rights in owning Dinosaur King. If I did though, RexZo would be cannon. X3
Inside the D-Lab, Reese and the Alpha Trio were repairing the android from Moscow as a monitor displayed the reading of the old man android. As the four continue doing repairs, the android's eyes open as he begins to reboot.
"Rebooting...online." The android said.
"Well, looks like we finally repaired him." Ed smiles as Ursula says, "Good, those repairs took longer than needed to be."
"Running scans…" The android says, powering up, "Acquire data."
"Let's hope he still has data." Reese says. The Alpha trio nod in agreement.
"My name is...Johnathan." After having the repairs, the android begins to construct a theropod skeleton as the others watched him from afar.
"What is he doing?" Zoe asks.
"Looks like he's assembling that dinosaur skeleton." Dr. Taylor said.
"It's possible that he was programmed to be an expert on dinosaur bone structure." Reese hypothesized, "However, we couldn't get him completely back online."
"How come?" Menna asks, "Is he still messed up?"
"A little bit. We did the best we could, the only problem is his systems." Reese explains, "They appear to be more advanced than what Earth's technology could produce."
"You mean like outer space?" Max asks.
"Not entirely." Reese replies, "But definitely some futuristic technology."
"Well, us three can confirm that his systems are similar to the Alpha droids back at Zeta point." Ed says as Zander and Ursula nod.
Dr. Taylor assumes, "Seems to me that Jonathan was built by the Alpha Gang."
"It's possible, but I have my doubts." Ursula said. Everyone looks back up to see that Jonathan has completed the skeleton. "I say that because there aren't that many androids like him back at Zeta Point." Ursula continues, "There IS our Jonathan, but that's probably not him, and then there's Helga."
"Wait. Helga is an android too?" Rex asked. The trio nod, the others respond with surprised looks and a couple of light gasps.
All the while, Droid was seen walking up to the android and began to scan him before his eyes flashed red. "INCOMPLETE STRUCTURE!" He says. Everyone didn't get what Droid was talking about. They watch as Droid places his hands on Jonathan's head and says, "INCOMPLETE STRUCTURE, HEAD IS UPSIDE DOWN!" Then Droid flips the head rightside up as Jonathan's eyes glowed yellow for a second.
"Whoa, his head turned upside down." Amy said, shocked at what she just witnessed. Everyone else was shocked, but not as shocked as the Alpha trio. "Not only that." Zander said as he and his siblings simultaneously say, "That's our Jonathan!"
"What's this? I have no idea where I am." The android said as he began to look around, "Or who all of you are."
"Jonathan, you should recognize us." Ed said, "It's Ed, Ursula, and Zander."
The android tells them, "I'm afraid I cannot recognize you three."
"Well, do you at least remember your name?" Zoe asked him.
The android bows, "I am Jonathan, nice to meet you. But clearly, one of you must be my creator."
"No, not one of us." Max said.
"I will run a scan to determine which of you, uh...matches my parameters." Jonathan hesitated as he began to scan the D-Team. "How odd, my memory seems to be partially erased." He then notices Rex. The android scans his eye and they matched to someone he once knew. "Identity confirmed."
"Huh? Who, me?" Rex asks.
"Dr. Ancient." Jonathan said. The Alpha trio jumped a little as they heard that name.
Rex answers back, "No, my name is Rex Owen."
"Who is Dr. Ancient?" Amy asked.
"Uh, I don't know?" Jonathan replies, completely confused.
"But you just called me that name, you must know who he is?" Rex said.
"I'm afraid I have no recollection of saying that." the android replies, "You must be mistaken."
"You don't remember what you just said?" Meena asked, "Looks like his memory is badly damaged."
Then, Reese turns to her husband and asks him, "Zander, do you know of this Dr. Ancient." Zander looks to his brother and sister as they all gulp. "I do, he was a paleontologist that worked with Dr. Z." Zander explains, "But then one day he was gone, there was no trace of him."
"Did he leave the island?" Dr. Taylor asks.
Ursula responds, "We don't know. No one at Zeta Point knew where he went, and we really mean 'no one'." The others went silent for they didn't know how to respond to what they've been told just now.
All the way at Zeta Point, within the training room, fire roared as the Alpha Acrocanthosaurus performs a new move. It's sail glowed bright as it launched a massive fireball that grew larger in size, it descends upon a target before getting completely obliterated.
As the Alpha dinosaur roars, the sails glowed brighter as Seth was seen watching from afar. "The attack was effective, and Acrocanthosaurus can absorb all the energy. I'll have to thank Dr. Z for alphalizing this dinosaur before killing him." Seth smiled as he looks to his new move card, "It's finally ready." As he admired his scientific genius, Seth spotted something. "Huh?"
Across the room was Laura, who had just witnessed everything that happened.
Seth enters through the door as Laura turns around. "Were you watching?" He asked.
She asks back, "What was that move you were using? How did you even get Acro-" Laura went silent and her face went blank, Seth had used Dr. Z's gizmo to keep her in check. "The move card and Acrocanthosaurus is none of you concerns." He told her, "Now, I want you and Rod to storm the enemies base and bring the card back here. All of the dinosaurs you have will best the others and you should have no problems whatsoever. Understood?"
"Yes, Seth." Laura replies. Seth points out as Laura obeys and exits the room.
Outside, one of the aircraft soars away from Zeta Point and off to the D-Lab.
Back at the D-Lab, the Alpha trio were doing some more scans on Jonathan to see what was wrong with him. The others were lounged around waiting patiently for the trio to get their results, meanwhile Reese was making a call out to her parents. "Zander and I won't be back for a while, can you just watch the twins for a while mom?" She said.
'Of course, sweetie. Just let me know when you're on your way home.' Mrs. Drake said on the other end.
"Will do, and thank you for doing this." Reese said, "Bye."
As Reese hangs up the call, the trio arrives with Jonathan. The others gathered around them as Zoe asks, "Were you able to find out what was wrong with him?"
Zander shook his head, "His memory banks are still shot, but oddly not from the attack he took."
"What do you mean?" Max asks.
"Everything in his head is fine and still intact, none of that was damaged from getting hit by Magma Blaster. However, it's almost as if his memory banks were somehow stolen from him." Ed said. The others shared confused glances to one another. "Do you think the Alpha Gang stole it all?" Rex asked.
"That'd be my first guess as to who did it." Ursula said, "His hard drive contains valuable data, in the wrong hand it could spell disaster."
"GROOOOOOOOWL!"
Out of nowhere, the Velociraptor pack drops in and scares the D-Team. The chibi dinosaurs line up and stood their ground and roar back at the raptors. Then appear Rod and Laura. "Hey everyone, nice to see you all again." Rod mocked.
"I bet you all know what we're here for?" Laura said as she extends a hand, "Hand us those dinosaur cards, and we'll be on our merry way."
"Nice try, but that ain't happening." Max said as he and his friends had their dinoholders out.
"Wait!"
The D-Team turns around as the trio whips out the beacon and Ed plugs in the components. "What is that?" Meena asks. "No time for questions." Zander said, "This is going to be loud!" Droid knew what was about to happen, so he opens his chest, reached inside for a pair of earmuffs, and puts them on his head just as Zander flips the switch. A high pitch sound could be heard as as everyone covers their ears, even the chibi dinosaurs and Velociraptor pack tried to cover their ears. The microchips on Rod and Laura began to spark, and it was not long before they fell off their heads and the two collapse to the ground. Immediately, Zander turns off the beacon and the trio rushes over to their niece and nephew. "Are you two alright?" Ursula asks as she sits Rod up.
Rod rubs his forehead, "Oh, my head is pounding."
"I feel dizzy." Laura moans.
"Do you remember anything that happened these last few weeks?" Ed asked.
"Um...all I remember is we lived back at Zeta Point, and that grandpa was so happy to see us again." Rod replies as Laura says, "All I remember was what Rod said and that Seth was working on something nasty."
Hearing his name, Jonathan began to trigger memories of his fight with Seth on the train and having his memories stolen by him. Now he has a new motive, track down Seth and get his memories back. He slips past the others as Amy asks Laura, "Something nasty, like what?"
Zander helps Laura up on her feet as she explains, "All I remember was Seth testing a new move card on a fire dinosaur, and the move card was stronger than it looked to be. I think it completely destroyed the target on impact."
Everyone wasn't liking the sound of what this new move card was about. "If that's true, then we're in deep trouble." Max said.
"More than you think, Max." Zander said, "If Seth is making move card with tremendous power, then he must be up to something. Plus, I have a gut feeling he's the one behind Jonathan losing his memories. He might even be plotting behind Dr. Z's back as far as we know."
Rod and Laura gasp, "Jonathan's back?!"
"Yep, he's right over…" Ursula points to where Jonathan was only for him to disappear. "Uh...where's Jonathan?" Then the team hears the sound of roaring engines, they all scramble outside to see Jonathan has taken possession of Rod and Laura's aircraft and was taking off. "Where is he going?" Rod asks.
"I think we know the answer to that." Ed said.
Back at Zeta Point, a group of Super Alpha Droids have flown into the hangar with a crate of some sort. Seth enters the hangar and was doing some scans on it.
"Ha, it's a flawless tyrannosaurus skeleton." He said, checking some stats on a screen, "And it's DNA is in good shape as well, well done droids."
Soon his Alpha scanner picks up a call, Seth answers the calls for Dr. Z to say, 'Seth, I'd like to speak with you for a second. You'll find me in my lab.'
"I'll be there soon, doctor." He said before ending transmission.
In his lab, Dr. Z was still working on repairing Helga back to normal. His repairs for her were almost complete, he was tightening some bolts with a wrench when Seth enters the room. "You summoned me?" He said.
Dr. Z sets down his wrench and replies, "Yes, I did." Dr. Z hops down from his swiveling chair and makes his way to Seth while asking, "Now for reasons unknown to me, Helga went missing for a few days then was found by Rod and Laura after a mission almost scrapped by a dinosaur." He explains, "Normally I'd ignore the damages, but this time seems different. Her circuitry was fried when I first started repairing her, and I know for a fact no dinosaur could of caused this. Do you know what's going on?"
Seth could see Dr. Z was getting suspicious. He replies to the doctor, "I have no knowledge as to what has occured to Helga or how she got badly damaged."
Dr. Z placed a hand on his chin and began to stroke his beard. "Hmm, I don't think you're telling me the truth." He said.
"Doctor, do you honestly think I'd be the one to thrash Helga?" He asked.
"If we're being truthful, then yes." Dr. Z said, "Because recently I haven't been seeing you around as much and now I'm having a hard time trying to find my grandchildren. Speaking of which, where are they now?"
"I'm sure they're just playing around the island." He lied, "I'll keep an eye out for them…"
Then the alarms sound off as a screen shows Jonathan has landed on the beach. "What the?!" Dr. Z shouts, "What is he doing here?!" Seth scowls, he thought he'd gotten rid of that android.
Jonathan busts into Zeta Point, catching the Super Alpha Droid's attention as they try to capture him. But Jonathan takes them all on and defeats the robots, he then comes to an elevator shaft and jumps down. Dr. Z and Seth make it to the elevators as Dr. Z presses a button. "If we're lucky Seth, his power should be low." Dr. Z predicted.
But he was wrong when the elevator doors were smashed open by Jonathan. Dr. Z began to panic as Seth quietly sneaks away. The android approaches Dr. Z and asks, "Where is Seth?"
Dr. Z yells, "Are you blind?! Seth is right…" He turns around to see Seth had abandoned him.
"I'd hate to resort to using force, so please hand over your villain, Seth." Jonathan said.
"Oh, but I'll use force willingly! Alpha Slash!" Dr. Z said as he summons Saurophaganax to fight. "Destroy him, Saurophaganax!" Dr. Z commands. The allosaurid closed in the distance as the fire dinosaur roars.
In the teleporter room, Rod was seen doing some hacking as the others watched him. On screen what he was doing. Ursula and her brothers loomed over him as she asks, "About how much longer till you hack into the systems?"
"Shouldn't be all that long." Rod said as he finally hacks the systems, "There, the cloak has been shut down."
Then on screen, a red dot flashed on the world map in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
"Looks like we've found Zeta Point. Everyone ready?" Max asked as his friends all nod. The Alpha trio stand by the D-Team as Ed says, "We're going too."
"So am I." Rod said, "Seth has much to answer for."
"What about me?" Laura asks her brother.
He responds with a smile, "You stay here Laura, the last thing I want is for you to get hurt."
"Okay." She nods before giving her older brother a hug. Reese appears behind her husband and tells him, "Be careful over there, okay?" Zander hold her tight as he says, "Not to worry, my angel." Reese then proceeds to peck his lips, to which Zander lightly blushes.
"Hey, lovebird! Are you going to stay and make out or you coming with us?!" Ursula calls out. Zander frowns as he makes his way to the teleporter.
Saurophaganax tries to slam his tail into the android, but Jonathan parry's the attack. The android then taunts Saurophaganax as the allosaurid charges, but the dinosaur misses completely after Jonathan zips past him at supersonic speed. Then the fire dinosaur was grabbed by the tail and tossed aside by the android.
As Saurophaganax was about to crash down onto Dr. Z, he screams and gets out of the way. "Oh, why do these things keep happening to me?!" He yells, before noticing Jonathan walking up to him. He panics and says, "Okay, okay! What do you want?"
"Forgive my intrusion, but I'm simply looking for the bad guy, Seth." Johnathan explains.
Dr. Z was confused, "Huh?"
Bright lights then appear behind him as the D-Team, Alpha trio, and Rod appear after teleporting. "Rod?" Dr. Z asks.
"Grandpa!" Rod saya.
"Look, there's Jonathan." Rex points out.
Amy comments, "This is really confusing."
"Hey! What do you know about Jonathan?" Dr. Z asks, "And why are you three nincompoops back?!"
"Pipe down and listen for once!" Ursula scolds.
"Dr. Z, Seth has been plotting behind your back this time this entire time to take you out." Zandr explains.
"Plotting?" Dr. Z wonders, "What are you talking about?"
Seth enter's Dr. Z's lab as Helga was almost fully rebooted. "Finalizing reboot." Helga said monotonically. Seth sees a cord running through her brain, so he takes it and yanks the cord out as Helga says, "Reboot interrupted, shutting down~"
Seth exits the lab with the cord in his hand as he says, "She'll never be turned on again."
He starts to head down the hall but stops to see the others have caught up to him. "What's going on here, and why do you have the reboot cord?!" Dr. Z demanded.
"I've been looking for you, you're the villain who stole the data from my memory banks!" Jonathan confronts.
Ursula then asks, "So what are you, a double-agent?"
"I can assure you all it's not what it looks like." Seth replies.
"What is it then, what are you after?!" Dr. Z asks.
"All I'm after is pure dinosaur science, doctor!" Seth explains, coldly, "I don't intend to wasting my time chasing hopeless pipe dreams."
"Hopeless pipe dreams?! My plans for the future are no such thing!" Dr. Z proclaims.
"Wanting to build a vast dinosaur kingdom and rule it as the dinosaur king." Seth said, "Tell me, what could be more hopeless than that?"
"He's got a point." Max points out.
Dr. Z yells, "Who asked you?! But then again let's not forget that you're the enemy!"
"The only reason we're here is to save the dinosaurs!" Max says as Meena continues," Right, and our enemies are those who want to hurt them!"
Seth smirks, "As usual, you're completely wrong. My goal is to bring about the ultimate dinosaur evolution, which would lead no good into harming them."
"That's what you say, but it doesn't give you any right to force any animal to evolve!" Rex scolds.
Zoe adds, "And who are you to say what is good?"
"You ought to be locked up!" Amy says.
"What nerve." Dr. Z says, "Conducting experiments behind my back when you could of come to me to help you from the beginning."
"Doctor let's be honest, your specialty is stealing other scientists work." Seth replies, "If I would of told you what I've been working on, I would of ended up like Dr. Ancient." Taken aback by that remark, Dr. Z gasps.
"That name sounds familiar, doesn't it?" Meena asks her friends.
Amy says, "That's what Jonathan called Rex."
…"...Dr. Ancient."...
The others turn to the android who says, "It appears that you are now done talking. I would like to retrive the data this villain stole from me."
"OH NO YOU DON'T, NOT UNTIL i'VE DEALT WITH THE BACKSTABBER!" Dr. Z declares as he slashed a dinosaur card, "Alpha Slash! Destroy Seth, Saurophaganax!"
"Yeah, me too!" Rod says, "Alpha Slash! You're up, Velociraptor pack!"
The dinosaurs land on the ground facing Seth. "Go, my dinosaurs!" Dr. Z commands, "Show Seth what we do to traitors!"
"Oh come one, don't think I'm completely defenceless here?" Seth says as he summons his dinosaur, "Alpha Acrocanthosaurus!"
The D-Team was shocked to see the alpha dinosaur once more. "What, how did he get that dinosaur?!" Max wonders in shock. The Alpha trio then realize the mistake they've made, so they quietly scoot to the sidelines without the D-Team noticing. Dr. Z didn't seem fazed as he tells the dinosaurs, "Saurophaganax, Velociraptor pack, crush him now!" The four dinosaurs charge into battle as Saurophaganax and Alpha Acrocanthosaurus butt heads. The pack tries to do an aerial assault onto the alpha dinosaur's back, but his skin is too hot to do an attack off of.
"As usual you're in over your head, Dr. Z. Witness a new super move I've perfected."
"A super move I don't know about?" the doctor questions.
"I've forced Acrocanthosaurus into premature evolution so he could master this move." Seth explains before slashing the move card, "Behold! Fire Scorcher!" Flames surround Alpha Acrocanthosaurus and his sail lights up as he fires a massive fireball towards Saurophaganax and the Velociraptor pack. The fireball explodes on impact as as the dinosaurs are hit, the explosion causes everyone to have a hard time holding their ground. As the alpha dinosaur roars and his sail lights up, Saurophaganax and the Velociraptor pack turn back into cards.
"No, this can't be!" Dr. Z said as he takes the card and hurries off to another part of Zeta Point. "This isn't over, Seth!"
"Grandpa!" Rod calls out before giving chase to the doctor.
The rest of the D-Team then takes notice that Alpha Acrocanthosaurus is charging right for them. "You ready, everyone?" MAx ask.
"No!" Zander said as he, Ursula, and Ed get in front of the five and take out their Alpha scanners. "We got this." Ursula said, "This is our fault, we were trying to restore a few dinosaur but we forgot to bring that one home."
"So you five go, now!" Ed instructs.
"We can't leave you guys behind!" Meena says.
Ursula snarks, "We're not asking!"
"Alright, just be careful you three." Zoe says before she and the others make a break for it. As they ran they hear someone calling out to one of them, "Master Rex!" Everyone looks off to a corridor that Jonathan was standing by, "This was, Master Rex!"
"Master?" Rex asks. But he wasn't given enough time to think, his girlfriend grabs him by the wrist and says, "Not now, Rex. We need to go." The five then follow Jonathan.
The Alpha trio look to the alpha dinosaur as Ursula says, "Birds of a feather…" Zander and Ed finish, "Kick butt together!" Then the three summon their dinosaurs. "Alpha Slash!"
"Blaze, Tyrannosaurus!"
"Gush out, Spinosaurus!"
"Shack 'em up, Saichania!"
The three dinosaur roar at their opponent. "Time to feel the burn, Seth!" Ursula says as she, Zander, and Ed were about to use their move cards.
"I think not. Fire Scorcher!" Seth uses his move card again. The sail of Alpha Acrocanthosaurus lights up again as it fires another fireball towards Terry, Spiny, and Tank. As it explodes, the dinosaurs take damage and roar in pain before crashing to the ground and transforming back into cards. "Not again." Zander complains.
"Let's get out of here!" Ursula calls out, "Grab those cards! I got Terry."
"I got Tank!"
"I got Spiny!"
"Quick, to the elevator!" Ursula said. The three make it to the elevator and Ed bashes the buttons as the alpha dinosaur gets closer and closer. Luckily the door closes in time and the trio sigh in relief. Soon, Alpha Acrocanthosaurus is called back by Seth who smirks ominously.
On the beach where Jonathan had parked the aircraft, the D-Team was now boarding the aircraft as Jonathan takes the driver seat. "Come along now, children." the android says, "We must get going."
"Then please take us back to the D-Lab." Amy asks.
Jonathan nods, "Understood." He turns on the engine to the aircraft and begins to take off. The D-Team soon hear some odd noises outside, and what they witnessed began to shock everyone. Zeta Point was now being lifted out of the sea and into the air.
"Are you guys seeing this too?" Max asks.
Meena replies, "It's as if that island is turning into a spaceship." As Zeta Point continues to rise out of the ocean, Jonathan put a pedal to the metal and hightails it out of the area with the five D-Team members.
Me: There we go, starting to near the end of this story. I'm really excited to write these next few chapters and I promise I won't disappoint. For next time, Rex will learn the truth of his origins while the Alpha Trio tries to take down Seth. This is CarnotaurusMan sayin' goodbye! :)
