Me: Hello my dinos, It is time for chapter 9 of the story. Out of all the episodes, this one if one of my favorites due to Rex's backstory even if it was tragic. But anyways, on with the show!
Disclaimer: I don't own Dinosaur King, But I wish I did though. :(
The island of Zeta Point was seen flying over the ocean. Then bright lights glowed as the rock and vegetation around the base explodes and reveal the real Zeta Point.
Inside, the Alpha trio are seen peeking their heads out of the elevator door. "Is he gone?" Ed asks. Zander replies, "I think so."
"C'mon." Ursula, "Into the lab." The trio make their way inside of Dr. Z's lab where Helga laid lifeless. Ursula gets the reboot cord from outside and plugs it back into the robotic maid as Helga turns on and says, "Continuing reboot, please stand by."
"Hopefully Helga will finish rebooting soon." Zander said.
"Hey Ursula, Zander, look at this!"
The two siblings turn their attention to Ed who was holding a card-folio of many move cards. "Are those move cards?" Ursula asks. "Yeah." Ed replies. Ursula and Zander gather round Ed as the trio gazes through each page as they find more and more move cards. "Whoa." Zander says, "With all of these cards, there would be enough move cards for all of the dinosaurs that we have."
Ursula wonders, "You don't suppose Dr. Z was going to use these cards to take the card we have, don't you?"
"Maybe." Ed replies with a shrug.
"We'll worry about that later." Zander says while heading towards Helga, "For right now, let's keep working on Helga and keep an eye out for Seth. Who knows what devilish scheme he's up to now."
"And something's telling me, Dr. Z is going to confront him anytime now." Ursula guessed.
As predicted by Zander, Seth was in his lab chuckling sinisterly as lights flashed. The tyrannosaurus skeleton his droids retrieved was now bigger than before as rays of light beamed at it. "That's it, come to life." Seth said, "We will go down in history together!"
Then the door behind him bursts open, Seth turns around to see that Dr. Z and rod have assembled a small team of alpha droids to aid them. "Hey, Seth! You're going to pay for what you've done." Dr. Z yells, "You're going down!"
"Yeah, you're going down!" Rod said as he and his grandpa began a charge.
That is until a trapdoor is activated and the two are sent down the chute as Seth chuckles at their failure to stop him.
Dr. Z and Rod kept falling until they land in the garbage chute. "Eww, gross!" Rod said, disgusted, "We landed in the garbage chute."
"Who's the fool who said you're going down?!" Dr. Z yells.
Rod looks at him unamused and replies sarcastically, "Oh let me think, I think it came from someone with the last name of Z."
Dr. Z asks, "Are you saying it's my fault?!"
"Yep." Rod nodded.
Back at the D-Lab, showing a static screen Reese tells everyone, "All communication has been cut off from Zeta Point."
"I sure hope Rod and the others are okay." Laura spoke up.
Meena looks to the young girl and tells her, "There's nothing to fear Laura, I'm sure the others are going to be okay."
"I guess you're right."
Reese looks back at the screen and sighs heavily. "Are you worried about him?" Reese looks to her left and saw her sister besides her with a concerned look. Reese tells her, "I'm worried to death about Zander, I just want him back here safe and sound."
Zoe nods as she says, "I know you're worried, but it can't get the better of you Reese. We need to stay strong." Reese looks back at the static screen again, then turns to Zoe and agrees, "You're right Zoe, we all need to stay strong."
"Protecting me? From what?"
The others turn their attention towards Rex who was questioning Jonathan. "What are you even saying Jonathan, why are you protecting me if you don't even know who I am?" Rex asks, acting rather paranoid, "Stop being so mysterious and tell us who you are!"
After a few moments of silence, Jonathan says, "Now that I've got my head on straight, I remember that I was a butler working for your father." Everyone gasps at the news. Jonathan continues, "And as his butler, I was sent here under strict orders to watch over you, Master Rex."
Rex repeats, "Watch over me?" The android nods as he continues, "I come from a time a hundred years from now. The fact is that I have been sent from the future, and Miss Laura has come from the future as well."
"How is that possible?" Amy asks.
Laura looks away from everyone as she answers, "We came in a time machine."
The others look at Laura confused as Meena asks her, "Is this some kind of joke?"
"Zeta Point itself is a time machine." Laura admits.
The D-Team was shocked to hear what Laura had admitted to as Zoe asks, "That island we were on?!"
"I can't believe." Dr. Taylor says, "From the start, how can that be?"
"Augh! I don't get how any of this could be, it's just not possible!" Max groans, frustrated while pulling on his hair.
"Master Rex, your father was the preeminent expert on dinosaur research. His name was Dr. Ancient." Jonathan explains, "He worked with your mother, who was his co-assistent, Dr. Cretatia."
"You're telling me they were both paleontologists?" Rex asked.
"That's right. It's all coming back to me, so allow me to start from the beginning. And where this story begins is just before you were born, Master Rex." Jonathan said as he begins to tell the story.
"The year was 2126. Dr .Ancient and his team were working at an archeological dig from the Cretaceous Period when they discovered something in the soil formation."
In a rocky valley, Dr. Ancient, Dr. Cretatia, Jonathan, and several yellow androids were either digging or carrying fragments to a cloth for examination. As the team continues to dig, they discover a stone tablet buried in the dirt. Both paleontologist gasp as Dr. Ancient identifies it, "It's some sort of lithograph."
"It turned out to be a discovery beyond their wildest imaginations."
Dr. Ancient and Dr. Cretatia take the stone tablet back to their lab to translate the mysterious tablet. But then the tablet displays a screen showing a group of numerous dinosaurs. "What is this?" Dr. Ancient wonders.
The dinosaurs then constantly say, "Please, help us."
"I bet it's the same voices we've heard!" Max said.
"I don't believe it." Zoe said as she opens up her dinoholder to reveal her stone, "You mean this?"
"Yes, but that is just a small piece of the stone." Jonathan said, "The original stone consisted of six outer parts that resembled each element, and it had a centerpiece that would bind them all together."
"I think I can confirm we have most of the stones." Reese said, "The only piece we haven't seen yet is the centerpiece."
"So there's still one more out there." Meena says.
Then, Rex asks Jonathan, "So, what's the purpose of the stone?"
"Please, help us." The dinosaurs continue to say. Then another voice began to talk, "We have suffered hardships for a very long time before settling on this Earth and living in peace." The screen then changed to an asteroid tumbling towards the Earth. "Something terrible is about to happen. Unless we do something about it, the sky, the ocean, the land, and all life on Earth will perish." The asteroid crashes into Earth as a giant explosion happens and begins to destroy all life. "You have to...help us, please!" Then the screen disappears.
Both Dr. Ancient and Dr. Cretatia were shocked in awe as Dr. Ancient asks his wife, "Could they be dinosaur?"
"I think so." Dr. Cretatia says before realizing, "It's possible we're hearing what they were feeling as they approach extinction."
"There must be something we could do for them!" Dr. Ancient said with determination. Dr. Cretatia nods, "You're right."
"They both agreed to do whatever it took to save the dinosaurs, and immediately took action." Jonathan recalled, "The power within that stone was beyond anything those two scientists could have anticipated. After many test, they discovered they could use that power to create a time machine and then travel back and forth through time."
"What?!" The D-Team gasps.
Both scientists were looking over blueprints of the time machine that looked a lot like Zeta Point. The two then smile at each other, even Jonathan smiled as he was carrying some tea.
"They realized that if they could travel back to the Age of the Dinosaur, then they might be able to rescue them. They were excited by the idea and began to work building. It was one year later, on Christmas Day, the time machine was ready to embark on its maiden voyage."
Atop of Dr. Ancient's lab was the finished time machine. Dr. Ancient, Dr. Cretatia, and Jonathan rode an elevator up towards the time machine.
"I packed my bags and prepared for the trip. Involved with the project was their gifted assistant, Seth. Also joining us was another paleontologist, Dr. Z; his three assistants; Helga, their maid; and Rod and Laura, who didn't want to be left out on such a spectacular voyage."
Dr. Z filmed a home video with everyone in it. Everyone were giving peace signs as some of them tried to push in front of each other. Aboard the time machine, all of the humans were inside pods to protect them from the harmful effects of time travel. Jonathan and Helga were seen piloting the time machine.
"Filled with anticipation, we boarded the time machine, strapped ourselves in, and hoped for the best. And that is how we headed towards the Age of the Dinosaurs."
The time machine opens a portal, enters into the portal before closing it up and began to travel through space and time.
"Wait a minute." Meena spoke up.
Max asks, "Is something wrong, Meena?"
"What about Rex?" She asks.
"Oh, yeah." Rex realized.
"She didn't know it at the time, but Dr. Cretatia, your mother, was carrying you inside of her, Master Rex." Jonathan explains, "You were not born yet."
"I can't believe it." Rex said, still shocked.
Then Amy asks, "So, did you make it to the Dinosaur Age?"
Jonathan nods, "We did."
Many herds of dinosaurs roamed the fields of the Jurassic world. Inside of a cage was an Allosaurus that was being examined by the two scientists. Then a beam of light hit the Allosaurus and turned the dinosaur into a card that floated to the floor of the cage.
"We stayed there while the scientists continued their research. Somehow, they succeeded into turning real live dinosaurs into cards."
Another beam of light hits the card, which activates it and resummons the Allosaurus.
"We've done it, Cretatia!" Dr. Ancient cheers as they remove their eye covers.
"We sure have." Dr .Cretatia agreed with her husband.
"Let's celebrate!"
"With this device, they plan to transport the dinosaurs home to save their species from extinction. So, they turned so they turned dinosaurs from various time periods into cards."
Cages were then dropped onto many dinosaurs such as Stegosaurus, Iguanodon, Ceratosaurus, and many more. The cages were then sent to the time machine as Dr. Ancient and Dr. Cretatia jaught down on their electronic tablets.
"But, a problem arose."
A light shine upon a table as a Lightning Move Card was created. "Finally!" Dr. Z said happily as he raised his creation up high, "My move card is now complete." The Alpha trio clapped in the background.
"Let me be the first to congratulate you." Ursula said.
"Now the dinosaurs will be even more powerful." Zander says before complimenting, "You're brilliant!"
Dr. Z then laughs evilly, "And Ancient's a fool."
Outside in the jungles, an Acrocanthosaurus and an Ampelosaurus roar at each other, they were about to duke it out as the Alpha Gang cheered them on, "Alright! Yeah!"
"What is going on here?!" Dr .Z tensed up as Dr .Ancient appears right behind him and orders, "I want it stopped, immediately!"
"Will do, Dr. Ancient." Ursula said, as she and her brothers held their hand up before the trio heads off to separate the two dinosaurs. Dr. Ancient glares at Dr. Z and says, "I don't know what your game is Dr. Z, but I will not allow this foolishness on the team!" Then, Dr. Ancient walks off not in the best mood.
Dr. Z grits his teeth as he says, "Just wait till you see what I'm really planning. I'll turn all dinosaurs into card, and use them to create my own dinosaur kingdom!" Behind Dr. Z, various dinosaurs appeared and roared behind him as if they were willing to obey him. "And I will become Dinosaur King!" Dr. Z declared as he laughed maniacally.
"Dr .Z's diabolical plan severely caused delays. Dr. Ancient and Dr. Z were at odds the whole time. The card conversion was supposed to take about two months, but even after six months in we were only ten percent complete. Thanks to Dr. Z's defiance, the delays brought upon another issue."
Rex asks, "What?"
Cretatia was moaning in pain as she grips her stomach and collapsed to the floor. "Cretatia, what's wrong?" Dr. Ancient asks, worried for his wife.
"It's the baby, sweetheart." Dr. Cretatia says, "I'm afraid it's going to come soon."
"How soon?!" Dr. Ancient gasps.
Rex then realized that Jonathan was talking about him.
"That's right Rex, it was you." Jonathan said, "Apparently you wanted to come out and join us."
"Did you feel that kick?" Cretatia asked her husband who had put his hand on her stomach to feel a kick.
"He's going to be a football player." Dr. Ancient joked.
"Dr. Ancient and Cretatia were planning on returning home to the future for the baby's birth and continue their project at home. But when they let the team know…"
"We are not going to return!" Dr. Z told the trio.
"We're not?" Ursula asked nervously.
"No!" Dr .Z replied while pacing back and forth, "This spells trouble for us. Ancient want to return to the future just so he can kick me off the team!"
Zander then whispers to Ursula, "Apparently we're not the only ones who find him annoying and distasteful."
"Excuse me, what was that?!" Dr. Z yells, which caused the trio to jumps back startled. Then, Dr. Z got an idea. "I got it! We can't go anywhere if the time machine is broken." Dr .Z said. The trio look to him confused yet scared.
In the main core, Dr .Z appears with a wrench in hand as he laughs sinisterly. "And-hey!" Dr. Z's hand was grabbed by Seth who tells him, "He'll know you were responsible that way."
"Uh...so?" He responds.
Seth lets go of his hand and heads for a computer and began to type in something. Then the lights of the room turned red and the alarm went off. "ALERT, SYSTEM FAILURE." The computer said, "ALERT, SYSTEM FAILURE. CONTROL DATA HAS BEEN DELETED." Seth looks back at Dr. Z who grins, "Seth!" Seth then smirked back at the doctor.
"Unbelievable." Max said, completely shocked.
"So it was Seth and Dr. Z who destroyed their own time machine?" Amy asked.
"Yes, Amy, that is correct."Jonathan said, "And be of that were we all trapped in the Cretaceous Period, which is where Master Rex was born."
"Wow, my boyfriend is sixty-five million years old. I'll have to remember that when making a birthday cake for you." Zoe joked.
Rex smiled slightly at Zoe before focusing back to the story. "Tell me more."
Cretatia held Baby Rex in her arms as Dr. Ancient, Rod, and Laura look at the sleeping baby.
"Your mom and dad were very proud of you, Rex." Jonathan said, "They knew you would grow up and love dinosaurs, which is why they gave you that ornament around your neck."
Rex held his fossilized tooth up and said, "So that's where it came from."
"I still can't believe that you are the same person as Baby Rex." Laura said.
Jonathan continues the story, "It was then that the Ancient's secretly summoned me."
"Huh?"
"At this point, they knew they were in danger. They needed to protect Master Rex at all costs, they requested I return with him to their home world in case of an emergency."
Dr. Ancient spoke with Jonathan as Cretatia held Rex in her arms. Cretatia says something while looking down at her newborn son before crying. Dr. Ancient tried to calm her down as Jonathan eye's went wide.
"And their concerns became a frightening reality."
The D-Team gaps at the news.
In the engine room, Dr. Ancient and Cretatia were fixing the machines as Jonathan was watching over Baby Rex in a basket. Dr. Z and Seth watched in secret. "I wish they would stop working hard on those repairs." Dr .Z worried, "Once that time machine is fixed, my plans are ruined."
"There's nothing to fear doctor, I have a plan." Seth said.
"Huh?"
"It turned out to be a dreadful plan."
The time machine begins to lift into the air and picks up speed to open the portal into time and space again.
"Once the repairs were finally complete, we were taking the Backland through its final warp test."
Inside the vortex, everyone was in their pods including Baby Rex. Dr .Z eye's snap open as he leaves his pod while Seth watched. The doctor then walks up to the pods Dr .Ancient and Dr. Cretatia were in and says, "I still have things to do in the Age of the Dinosaur. So if you want to go back, you can do so on your own!" With the push of a button, Dr .Z ejects their pods off the time machine and into the vortex.
Dr. Ancient and Cretatia awoke to this as Dr. Ancient yells, "What have you done?!"
"Oh no!" Dr. Cretatia says, "Rex is still on the ship!" The pods disappear into the vacuum of space and time.
Baby Rex was now frantically crying for his parents. Seth was about to send him off the ship as well, but was then tackled by Jonathan. "Get your hands off of him!" the android yelled.
"Hold onto him, Seth!" Dr. Z commanded as he heads towards Rex's pod. He was about to finish the job, but then came Jonathan who shoved him out of the way. Resulting in Dr .Z hitting the device that held the stone table.
The table broke into pieces as Seth and Dr. Z gasped. Jonathan grabs a hold of Rex's pod as it began to eject off the ship. "Master Rex!" Jonathan said as he held on tight to the pod. As the pod left the ship, Jonathan began to lose his grip and was the separated from Rex. "No! Rex!" He called out before vanishing. Baby Rex wailed as he was all alone.
Rex just stood where he was in utter shock, tear forming in his eyes.
"Rex…" Max said, "This is all thanks to Dr. Z and Seth!"
"It's awful!" Amy sniveled.
"What...what happened to my mom and dad?" Rex asked.
Jonathan lowers his head and solemnly replies, "I'm sorry, I don't know. My memory bank doesn't hold any more information except for what I just said."
"What?!" Rex asked.
Max walks up to his best friend and tells him, "They're still alive Rex, I know they are!" Meena follows and says, "We'll never give up searching for them Rex, we promise!" Then comes Amy who agrees, "Yeah, we'll help you Rex. We're all friends after all." Then lastly was Zoe who clung tightly to Rex, he then hugs her back as tears finally fall. "We're all here for you Rex, don't you ever forget that!" Zoe said. As Rex cries softly, he tells his friends, "Thank you."
"I can't believe grandpa and Seth did those horrible thing." Laura told him, "When we woke, we were in this time period and on that island, and they never bothered to tell us where they went."
"This is all very interesting." Reese spoke up, "You know, Rex was discovered in New York City twelve years ago by Dr. Owen."
"You know, I still don't understand it." Dr. Taylor says, "Yes we know Dr. Z is a piece of work, but why was Seth involved with the plan."
"I know why, it's because he wanted to engineer all of those dinosaurs." Max answers, "I think he was trying to make a new species.
"Possible." Jonathan said, "But the truth is I had no idea what he was thinking and doubt any of us knew. Seth was always incredibly silent and kept his distance from us and the Ancients.
"Yeah, and Dr. Ancient use to get mad about that." Laura said, "He use to scold Seth for going off and doing things on his own. I remember one time when they were arguing…"
Laura walked the halls when she stumbles upon Dr. Ancient scolding Seth. She his behind the corner and listened.
"How dare you try and manipulate dinosaur DNA behind my back! I did not approve this, it's immoral!" Dr. Ancient yelled, "We're talking about the history of evolution, there should never be human intervention at all!"
Seth looks at Dr. Ancient with an evil smile.
"I remember the coldness in his eyes." Laura recalled, "I should've known he wasn't a nice man."
"It's okay, Laura." Rex said, wiping his tears away.
Back at Zeta Point, Seth was looking through a microscope as some tissue began multiplying as he chuckles sinisterly. In front of him, the tyrannosaur fossil has now been resurrected into a larger beast as shouts a terrible roar.
From the garbage chute, Dr. Z and Rod have freed themselves by using Iguanodon to burst through the wall. "Way to go, Iguanodon!" Rod said.
"Excellent, now that we're free we can get Seth!" Dr. Z says.
Then the alarm sounds as Super Alpha Droids march the halls. Ed watch and calls out, "I got a bad feeling about this."
"Get over her, Ed! Helga's awake!" Ursula calls out. Ed obeys and heads towards his sibling as Helga sat up. "Oh vhat is going on?" She asks before realizing who she was surrounded by, "Ursula, Zander, Ed, What are you doing here?"
"We'll explain later." Zander said, "Right now, we have to get out of here!" Helga nods.
Dr. Z and Rod enter upon Seth's lab yet again. "Hey, Seth! Now you're going to pay even more for what you've done to me!" Dr. Z said as he summons Iguanodon, "Alpha Slash! Get Seth, Iguanodon!"
Iguanodon lands on the ground as Alpha Acrocanthosaurus is summoned, and both Dr. Z and Rod are nervous. "Destroy anything in your way, Acrocanthosaurus!" Seth tells his dinosaur. Acrocanthosaurus lights its sail up and then sets Iguanodon a blaze with it's fire breath.
"Rod." Dr. Z says, "Take out your card, too."
"Okay." Rod says before summoning a new dinosaur, "Go, Ampelosaurus!" The sauropod appears, it roars then charges for Acrocanthosaurus which knocks him out of the way. "Aqua Vortex!" Rod said as Ampelosaurus uses its move. Alpha Acrocanthosaurus is surrounded by a giant water cyclone before being raised high and dropped to the ground. "Good going, Rod!' Dr. Z cheers.
"Ha!" Seth mocks before using his move card, "Fire Scorcher!": Alpha Acrocanthosaurus lights his sail and launched the destructive fireball. As it explodes, Ampelosaurus and Iguanodon transform back into card and while Rod and Dr. Z narrowly dodge the fires.
"As you can see doctor, I will allow no one to stand in my way!" Seth tells his newfound enemies.
"That's what you think!" Dr. Z says as Rod catches the dinosaur card. Seth growls as he commands Acrocanthosaurus to charge at the two.
But then, Terry, Spiny, and Tank ram into the fire dinosaur as Helga and the Alpha trio appear beside Dr. Z and Rod in the Alpha Jet. "Helga, Ursula, Zander, Ed?" Dr. Z asks.
"Get in, We don't have all day!" Ursula said. Dr. Z and Rod enter the jet as Terry, Spiny, and Tank are returned to their owners. Helga hurries to an electric box and smashes it with her fist creating and electrical shock as the door beside her opens. "Helga, hurry!" Ed calls out.
"Just save yourselves!" Helga calls out. The five startup the engine and blast of as they narrowly escape the jaws of Alpha Acrocanthosaurus. "We'll never forget you, Helga." Dr. Z says before complaining, "Can't this thing go any faster?!" Helga gives a peace sign as the Alpha Jet blast off.
Then, Helga wields her ladle and says to Seth, "You have disturbed my household for the last time, and now you'll get vhat you deserve!" Unfazed, Seth uses Fire scorcher once more. As the fireball get close to Helga, a huge explosion is seen outside of Zeta Point.
Back at the D-Lab, the radar picks up Zeta Point's location. "Zeta Point just showed up on the radar!" Reese informs everyone.
"That's odd." Dr. Taylor says.
She then adds, "And there's a flying object approaching." The others gasps.
Outside the D-Lab, the Alpha Jet lands and the hatch opens up as the trio says, "Too much excitement for one day."
"Is everyone alright?!" Max asks as the D-Team rushed to everyone's aid.
"Grandpa!" Laura calls out
Reese then calls out, "Zander!" Zander then leaps out of the jet and runs up to Reese saying, "My angel!" The two embrace in a hug.
"What do you think you're doing?! Get back!" Dr. Z threatens, "I don't remember asking help from any of you brats, I don't need help and i don't want it! All I want is to be left alone to create my dinosaur kingdom and become Dinosaur King!"
Meena asks, "You're still going on about that?"
"Yes." The doctor simply said before pulling out his Alpha Scanner, "Let's go, Saurophaganax!"
"ROOAR (YOU MONSTER)!" Smokey growls before biting down on Dr. Z's beard and yanking on it. "Ack! Get him off of me!" Dr. Z yells.
"No Grandpa, you can't use him." Rod tires to reason, "All our dinosaurs are way to exhausted."
"I don't care how tired they are, they'll do as I say!" the deranged doctor responded.
"Grandpa, I know what you did." Laura says rather mad, "The horrible things you and Seth did to Rex's mom and dad!"
Dr. Z was surprised by what he was hearing, "What?"
"We'd like to hear what you have to say for yourself."
"Mm-hmm!" The rest of the D-Team agreed as they glare daggers at Dr. Z who stutters, "Oh...I-uh...well…"
From behind him, Ace was enrage by Dr. Z action as he says, "Grrrowl (No one does that to my best friend)!" Then, he bites Dr. z's butt as the doctor yelps in pain as Ace and Smokey terrorize Dr. Z who yells, "Stop it! Get off of me!"
Then, Rex's dinoholder goes off as he says, "A dinosaur has appeared."
That's enough to make Dr. z stop screaming and say, "Alright, so where is it?" While everyone else was surprised.
Back at Zeta Point, Seth's tyrannosaurus burst through the room it was in to the outside world from a massive explosion and shouts blood-curdling roars. Seth then laughs maniacally, "I've did it, I've created my Black T-Rex!"
Then, a light flashed on the panel. Seth knew what it was about as he says, "Barge on in."
At the Drake household, two Super Alpha Droids bust the door open. Mrs. Drake rushed down the stairs and wonder, "What's going on-" Then is shot by a dart that makes her unconscious.
"SEARCHING! SEARCHING!" The droids were in search of something upstairs as they search each and every room.
They then enter the nursery as a small device shows a hologram of Seth. He looks inside each of the cribs to see Corey and Lily were in them both. Corey was still asleep, but Lily was wide away and begins to whimper she was scared.
"Oh don't worry, young one. I'm not going to hurt you..." Seth says before smiling wickedly, "Just yet."
Me: Chapter has been completed. Now I think I'm going to be getting a lot of hate for what I've done for the ending, and I don't blame anyone. Just wait till next chapter what'll happen. For next time, The D-Team heads for Zeta Point to take down Seth. Until then, CarnotaurusMan out!
