I decided to continue this story! So, here's chapter 17! Last chapter, Jonathan and Dina were in a fossil battle, both of them fighting as vivosaurs. After reducing both of the teams to only Dina and Jonathan, Dina used a special attack that resulted in Jonathan's death. She healed Jonathan and tried to convince him to join her side, only to find that he was actually fighting for his own reason. Jonathan tried to attack her, but she used her powers to enhance her strength and punch Jonathan hard enough to shatter his skull, killing him. Jonathan telepathically revealed that he knew he couldn't win, so he fought because he knew he would die in the end, which is what he wanted. After returning home, Dina and her friends decided to go digging. Argis' vivosaur team was also revealed to be the five chickens. This takes place upon their arrival at Jungle Labyrinth. On with the chapter!
Chapter 17: The Frightening Fossil
*Dina's POV*
When we got to the Jungle Labyrinth, everything seemed normal. We walked around and dug up a bunch of rocks, filling up our cases quickly. Once we dug up everything we could find in the jungle, we headed to the stone pyramid. There were no rocks in the hallway, so we entered the room with the stone chest that once held the skull of Zongazonga. We looked around, but our sonar systems didn't pick up anything. I walked by the door where the guardian once was and finally got a dot on my sonar. There was only one problem: it was on the other side of the door.
"Guys, I found something!" I said. "But it's in the guardian's room!"
"Don't even try to get it, Dina!" Rupert said. "It could be a trap!"
"I have an idea!" I said. "I can teleport in, get the rock, and teleport back out!"
"Like I said, it could be a trap!" Rupert said.
"If it is, I can use my new powers to escape!" I shouted. "I'm going in!"
With that, I teleported through the door. It was dark in the guardian's room, so I lit up the room with my electric powers. I used my sonar again and found the spot where the rock was buried. I dug it up and looked at it. The rock itself was a golden color and seemed to have a strange faint glow to it.
"Weird…" I said. I teleported back to the main room to show it to the others.
"I got it!" I said. "But it's kinda strange..."
The others walked over to me and I showed them the rock.
"The weird thing is that it glows." I said.
"I wonder why, digadig?" Pauleen asked.
"It's probably not a normal rock." Rupert said.
"I can sense energy radiating from it." Argis said.
"Maybe it's a fossil of a legendary type?" Banette suggested.
"Legendary types don't get fossilized." Argis said. "They turn into medals."
"Wrong." Selena said. "Frigi and Igno were once fossilized."
"That's true, but it's not either of them." I said.
"How do you know?" Banette asked.
"I can sense it." I said. "But I can also tell that it's a full fossilized skeleton."
"Which vivosaur is it for?" Todd asked.
"It's too small to be a dinosaur skeleton, digadig." Pauleen said
"I'll use my powers to try to see the fossil inside." I said. I used my abilities to look into the rock.
What I saw made me drop the rock, which landed on the ground with a loud thud.
I backed away from it, frightened by the sight.
"What's wrong?" Todd asked.
"It's not Zongazonga again, is it?" Rupert asked. I shook my head. "Why are you so afraid if it's not him?"
"Take a look and you'll see why." I said.
He picked up the rock and looked at it, then dropped it, as well. Several cracks appeared in it this time.
"Oh, my god…" he said
"What's in the rock?" Selena asked.
"I saw a human skeleton inside." I said.
"Why did it scare you so much?" Banette asked.
"Because I know who it was." I said.
"How?" Argis asked.
"It was a girl who was wearing a necklace." I said. "And I only know one girl who wears a necklace like that."
"Wait, digadig…" Pauleen said. "Are you saying-?"
"Yeah…" I said. "That person… was me!"
