Last chap:
"Yeee-haw! Hold on, pards!" And with that we soared away from that place and the crazy allosaur.
Disclaimer: I don't own Fossil Fighter Champions. Happy now? *sulking in a corner*
Just before it out of our earshot it roared again, out of anger or something else, I can't tell.
"Groooaarrr! RrraaAAAWWRR!" And then, for the second time today, my right eye twitched. Honestly I'm starting to get irritated "Why did I get the feeling that the crazy Allosaur trying to say something like 'I'll get you soon! MuhaHAHAHA!'..." And after that I was pulled from my train of bizarre thought. But hey, it's perfectly normal for kids to imagining things, yippy-yup! And I love muffins!
" . . . Whew! You folks all right?" Asked the man who saved us. Todd and me smiled and nod to him. I can't see his face clearly from the back but I can't shake the feeling that he seemed somewhat familiar.
After flying for a while we landed on another clearing far enough from the danger-zone earlier and there's when it struck us. Todd's the first to react when the man turned to face us.
" . . . OH MY GOSH!" said (more like screamed) Todd, and then he took a step closer "Y-you're... Joe!". The man only nodded and replied simply.
"Yep, that's me. Surprised you know my handle, kid." Replied Joe calmly despite earlier saying that he's surprised. And I began to think to myself again."Hmm... I think all of the cool fighters are just cool like that. Yup. But... Aren't they act cool because they ARE cool? But, then again, what's the point saying they're acting cool when they are in fact already are cool? And importantly, I love muffins! But wait, it doesn't even have anything to do with that! Ugh... I'm beginning to confuse myself..." Still deep in thought, I'm silent the whole time while Todd did the talking.
"Of course I know you! You're the greatest Fossil Fighter in the whole world! Your Fossil Battle skills are legendary!" Todd paused for a moment, inhale... then screamed.
"You're Joe Wildwest!" dramatically like he just saw a ghost. Then Todd continued. "I can't believe I'm actually talking to you! This is amazing! ... I must sound like a real nerd, huh?!" Finished Todd. Silently I agreed about the later.
Just a second later the ground shook a little and all of us can hear the sound of something like a big vivosaur or just a fat person stomping toward us from the distance.
"Graaaawl!" Uh-oh... looks like it's the former.
"EEEEEK!" Todd screamed. All of us turned, facing the source of the loud roar.
I ignored Todd's scream and squinted my eyes in hope to see better of what meanie that mean enough to disturb our 'Kids and their Idol' moment. And just a second later, I see a blue blur running towards us. And my right eye twitched.
There, standing a few meters from us, in all of it's cool blue but annoying-at-the-moment glory, was the crazy Allosaurus. It gave us a look, no, it gave ME a look that, to me, said something along the line of 'see? I told ya!' –insert menacing evil grin here- . *twitch* "Wha-?!...Just, what the heck?!"
"That Allosaurus is madder than a sack full'a hornets. We can't let it leave the mountain all riled up like that, or folks'll be in a heap'a trouble. Ain't no other choice. We gotta subdue the critter in a Fossil Battle." And after that said, Joe turned to us. "How about it, small fry? Think you're up for it?" We were surprised and looked at each other for a second, exchanging confused glance, and back. "I'll even loan ya one'a my Dino Medals for the fight. So how 'bout it?"
My eyes shone at the mention of fighting with Dino Medals, clearly exited. But short after, Todd spoke to me.
"Ooooooooh! Oh, my stomach! It hurts real bad..." -insert painful (but I know it's fake) whine- "It must be that rotten banana I ate this morning. ...Yeah, that's it. Oooooooh..."
I just sweat dropped and gave Todd my really?-then-why-the-heck-did-you-ate-it-in-the-first-place? looks. But Todd continued.
"I really wanna fight, but I don't think I can. So you'll have to fight in my place, Dina!" Said Todd while giving me his usual Dina-I'm-scared-so-please-help-me! looks, and to top that he added one more convincing act that's so convincing you wouldn't know that he was faking it if you didn't knew him since babies like I am.
"Ooooooow! Oh, my stomach..." there, whining again while clutching his stomach, and oh my god did I see puppy-dog-eyes there?
I 'sigh'-ed and gave Todd my also usual alright-Todd-but-remember-you-owe-me-a-cup-of-muffin-after-this looks.
Then Todd gave me his okay-Dina-what-flavor-do-you-want-today? looks.
Then I gave Todd a Let's-see-...-I-want-chocolate-with-vanilla-cream-and-cinamon-sprinkle-on-top looks.
And then Todd gave me Got-it-but-what's-with-all-the-looks-and-how-the-heck-you-can-tell-the-difference? looks.
And then I gave Todd What-do-you-mean?-how'd-I-supposed-to-know? looks.
We both sweat-dropped and gave each other this-is-stupid-so-let's-stop looks. And after that I turn to Joe and said
"It seems like Todd's still fighting with something in his stomach mister Joe! So I'll gladly battle the Allosaur in his place." and finished it with a smile.
But Joe gave us a what-was-that-before? looks.
So Todd and I gave him don't-start looks. Now's Joe's turn to sweat-dropped, so he continued.
"...Huh. Well, fair enough. Guess I'll be lending you my Dino Medal instead. I got four of 'em, so just take whichever one strikes yer fancy." After that Joe showed me four different Dino Medals on his right palm and began explaining each elements and it's forte. There's an Aerosteon, Toba Titanosaur, Tsintaosaurus, and Dimetrodon Dino Medal. At first I was about to chose Dimetro 'cause it's skill but then I remember what my cousin, Dino, said to me a week ago about a certain Hot Spring in the middle of a snowy area and fossils that can be found there. And if my memory right I remember that Toba's, Tsintao's, and Dimetro's fossils was mentioned with several other fossils he managed to dug there. Beside he promised to take me to that hot spring after he got back from his journey with Hunter, one of my childhood friend beside Todd. So with that thought, I choose Aerosteon. Those three can wait until my cousin come back.
(a/n: and yes, you can find Toba, Tsintao, and Dimetro all three of 'em in Hot Spring Height. But I don't know where to find Aeros. So for the sake of the copletion of my Fossilary, allow me to choose Aeros)
"Grease my pants and call me slick! That's a fine choice there, small fry." Said Joe, but I got the feeling he'd said that no matter what DM I choose. "Yeah, grease my pants but too bad I wore slack. Ooooh... whatever my muffin is waiting!"
"Thankyou...!" I exclaimed happily, though it's because the thought of the yummy muffin's waiting. Joe smiled at my enthusiasm.
"Now remember, once ya throw that Dino Medal at the Allosaurus, yer vivosaur will be unleashed. The strength of a Fossil Fighter depends on how much of a bond they build with their vivosaurs. So make sure y'all trust each other, and try to have some fun. All right?"
"aye-aye-aye cap'n Joe!" I exclaimed with determination while holding tight the loaned DM. Joe smiled and patted my head lightly. After that I nod and throw the Dino Medal, and in a flash of light Aeros appeared on the battle field. Then I saw Aeros tilted it's head slightly at me, then our eyes met.
"C'mon! We can do it Aeros!" I cheered him while jumping and pump my fist in the air. Almost looks like it understand me, it turned to our favored-most-important-not-to-mention-invited guest (NOT) today, the Allosaur, and growled, warning it. I began the battle with Joe guided me along the way.
"Okay, Aeros, Wind Blast to Allosaur!" After that command Aeros roared towards the sky and then a blast of wind appear and charged immediately at the Allosaur. Allosaurus was knocked slightly but I can tell it has lost about ¾ of it's health point. Annoyed, it charged at Aeros and bite Aeros at it's neck base. My eyes widen, worried that Aeros might gotten badly injured, I hurriedly gave it another command.
"Oh no! Aeros! swat Allo's fangs from your neck and use Wind Blast immediately!" Aeros did just that, and because of the close distance Allosaurus was thrown back rather violently by the harsh wind and went back to its Dino Medal form.
"That Allosaurus finally calmed down and went back into his Dino Medal." Said Joe while looking at the Allosaur DM. Then he turned to me "Nice job, small fry! You did real good. I'm impressed you can use a dangerous situation like that to yer benefits."
"ehehe... Thankyou. To be honest, my main intention wasn't to beat Allosaur but it was to protect Aeros." I replied while smiled sheepishly and scratch my neck lightly, I did that whenever I'm nervous or embarrassed.
Joe smiled again. "This guy's sure smile a lot..."
"That meant ya learned one'a the purpose of Fossil Battle, small fry. Protect and take care of yer partner. Congrats!"
"You ran that Fossil Battle like a pro, Dina! You're awesome!" When I heard Todd said that I immediately snapped my head to him.
" –insert menacing grin here- Aren't you supposed to still clutching your stomach Todd...?" Todd paled and backed a few step. Apparently I managed to look scary for the first time today.
" ...h-huh? Hey, my stomach doesn't hurt anymore. See?" Todd managed to stutter that nervously. Then he continued. " Yeah, well, who cares about that now, am I right?" I narrowed my eyes in a gesture that saying 'yeah riiiight...'. But Todd only grin sheepishly. "*sigh*what I'd do without you Todd?" I thought while smiling, no matter what he's the closest person to a brother that I have since I'm a the only kid and all, and I know he's always there when I need him. Just after that thought Joe explained to us that the Allosaur was abandonned by it's previous trainer, that's why it's running wild like that. And how vivosaur need to be with a trusted partner. And how the Fighter Association sent him to round up the wild vivosaurs, Joe looked like just noticed something and he immediately spoke.
" Aw, shucks. Where are my manners? You know this already, but I'm Joe Wildwest, and I'm a Fossil Fighter."
"My name's Dina! Nice to meet you Joe, and thanks for the help!" I introduced my self and smiling happily.
"I'm Todd, and Dina is my best friend. We always cheer for you on TV, Joe! Our dream is to become a great Fossil Fighters just like you!" Todd exclaimed and pump his fist in the air.
Joe laughed, embarrassed a little because of what's Todd said. " Aw, shucks. You small fries are gonna make me blush. But y'all oughta aim a little higher. Don't try to be as good as me. ...Try to be BETTER!" Me and Todd nod after that.
"Well I s'pose I should think about seeing you two home, but I ain't quite done with my job yet. I've still got one more vivosaur that need rescuin', ya see? But y'all seem pretty capable, so I trust ya can make it home." After Joe finished what he said I remembered that I still have one of Joe's DM.
"Wait, here, Aeros DM that I borrowed earlier. Thankyou for lending it to me, Joe!" Joe seemed surprised.
"Aw, bacon! I durn near forgot that DM I loaned ya! Tell ya what, Dina. What say you keep it as my way of sayin' thanks for all the help?"
"What?! Really?!" Man it shocked the wits outta me! I still can't believe this, I turned to Todd silently asking him if this real.
"Aw, man! If only my stupid stomach hadn't started hurting..." Said Todd, hint of frustration in his tone. Then Joe spoke again.
"Listen up, small fries! If you love yer vivosaurs and share their passion for Fossil Battles, then y'all can accomplish anything!" Todd and I nod with determination on our eyes of what Joe said. Then he continued. "I look forward to the day ya both become proper Fossil Fighters. But for now I gotta mosey on down the trail." Joe walked forward before turning to us and waved us good bye "Adios!" And with that, he walk down the trail to continue his job.
Just after Joe out of our sight Todd spoke excitedly. "Wow! We just got advice from Joe Wildwest himself! No choice now, Dina! We have to become Fighters!"
"Yeah! You bet'cha!" I replied and nod enthusiastically.
"Yeah, I know you want it bad. But not as bad as me!" I can only smile at what Todd just said, I really love seeing Todd's this determined. Then he continued. "Next time I see Joe, I'm gonna be a full-fledged Fighter!"
"YEEAAAHH!" We exclaimed together, jump as high as we can and pump our fists in the air, doing our usual pose whenever we promised to achieve a goal together. And with that. We walk down the trail together. Already planning to help Todd catch a vivosaur.
"And don't forget my muffin, Todd!" I pouted to him, holding back my laugh 'cause I know Todd never forget whenever he promised me muffins.
"Heheh. Race you down there. Win and you got two."
My eyes widen, and without waiting for any second we broke to run. Laughing along the way.
