A:/N Yo. I was bored, had my DS on hand, soooo, yeah. But I twas sad, no reviews last chappie, but I got a different review, to a different story, soooo, again, yeah. Annnnyway.

I woke up in my hotel room the next morning (A:/N skipped…A LOT! I know. But that's what you get when to try doing this without your DS…oh well.) I quickly got ready for the day.

Made a snap decision last night, hardly remember it…but it did involve me shredding all my sun hats, shame really. I spiked my hair anyway; don't trust not doing that yet, 'specially with an archenemies like Ethan trailing me. I made a serious look at my wardrobe options…wow, even in my head that sounded gay. I settled on the stranded issue uniform (sans sun hat, of course.)

There was a knock at my door. No idea who that could be, not like I have any friends here, just people who hate me. Eh, I'll chance it.

"Come in." I called. Dr. Diggings opened the door, and walked in. he had an armload of stuff in his arms; I recognized a pickaxe, and a circular object…okay, I only knew what the pickaxe was, but still.

"Hey there Jay, I forgot some stuff yesterday." He said closing the door with his foot.

"From what I hear, you have a habit of doing that." I said, kinda' snarky, I know. He stopped dead, and stated mumbling about deducting Wendy's pay.

"That aside, I brought you your official pickaxe, and sonar." He said laying the two objects on my bed. I nodded at him. His pager buzzed, and he hurried away without another word. I looked at both the items; I noticed the pickaxe had my name burned into it. The sonar was metal and very small; Most of the sonar screen was covered in metal though. I clucked my tongue and grabbed a sharpie, and my pocket knife. I drew a circle on the pickaxe's shaft, and then carved into it; it had to make it big enough to fit the sonar in.

I was finished in a matter of minutes; the sonar fit snugly, it would take some major force to knock it out of the pickaxe. I slung the pickaxe over my shoulder; I exited my hotel room and walked down the hall to the elevator. I made a short walk through the lobby, saying a brief hello to the manager. I walked out of the hotel, I walked down to the harbor, watching my back the whole time.

I said hi to Beth, well tried, she was ushering me onto the boat. Captain Travers was driving, he was silent though. I soon found myself in a very green plain. The place felt very…serene. Despite the gentle wind rusting the leaves of the trees, I heard a clamor of voices near the back of the dig site. I hurried to the back of the plain, behind a fence guarded by who I assumed was a worker, there were fossil fighters digging.

"Hello, I am an employee of the fossil center," The worker guy said to me. "The area behind me is rich with extremely rare and incredible fossils! But as the fossils are also very fragile-"

"No dip, bro." I had to interject.

"-fossil battles are strictly prohibited beyond this point. If you would please hand over your Dino medals before entering, you may proceed." He told me holding out a hand. I slid my two medals off my neck, and handed them over. He mumbled something about being free to enter, and moved out of my way, when I walked through the fence, he moved back to his post.

I touched the button on my sonar; immediately getting to small blips on the screen. I dug up one, it was a rock.

Rock

Rock

Surprise, another rock.

OH HEY…a rock.

Upon closer inspection, I discovered I wasn't the only one getting non fossil items. The other fighters were grumbling quietly to them selves, or yelling in distaste.

I stopped digging and leaned on my pickaxe, scratching my head in confusion. Of course as soon as I stop moving, someone is doing one of the few things I can't stand;

Circling me.

I noticed it was the girl from yesterday, no, not the one with red had who hit on me... it was her. It didn't bug me that it was her as much as I thought it would, I noticed, but…I wasn't about to die, like last time.

"Don't think I've seen you around here before. You a rookie? Anyway good luck!" She said so fast, I felt like I was being punched with words. She then proceeded to ignore me.

Jay.

I looked around; no one here knew my name. Weird, I must've imagined it.

Jay.

Hey, there it was again. I've snapped…this early too; I would've given it more time till I went insane but…

This is your Spinax, dipshit.

My Spinax is talking to me? MY SPINAX IT TALKING TO ME! And he's insulting me.

Now you're gettin' it. Okay you know the worker guy at the gate? He was a fraud. Hi-jacked people's meddles, left me and Shan. 'Parently we're too weak, come here and get us, or I swear we will eat you alive.

I walked to where I assumed the voice was coming from, I looked down, and sure enough, my meddles were there. And an unplaced Venator medal.

Good, found us. You seem to lack the freak-out capacity to have a dinosaur talking in your head throw you off the ballot.

Trust me. I thought to him, weirder things have happened to me.

I slid the two medals that belonged to me around my neck, for some reason, no one else keeps them on strings; they just carry 'em like poker chips.

"Wha- Wa- wait. Where did he go?" I recognized the voice as the girls.

Here comes trouble.

Wow, my Spinax is really rude. The girl looked around, and then walked toward me. There was a mixed look on her face…mostly anger though.

"The guy from the Fossil Center was here a minute ago…Where did he go?" She nearly yelled, I merely shrugged my shoulders as a response. "I wasn't the only one to hand my Dino medals over to that guy, was I? We've all been tricked!" She yelled, throwing her arms in the air, turning around, and yelling a creative slur of…colorful…words to the sky.

All yours buddy.

I inwardly sighed, I was about to reply to the very annoying voice sharing my cranial capacity, but I was pulled forward by the medals hanging from my neck.

"You've still got your Dino medals…how'd you manage that? Oh, I get it; you're a rookie, you vivosaurs are still pretty weak, that's why he tossed yours." Ouch, there goes my small amount of pride.

"And this medal?" I asked, holding up the Venator medal. She gasped before taking it from me.

"That's mine! Is that guy saying my Venator is weak? Oh, I'll show him!" she was on a slight rant, I would've stopped her, but I like having my skull in one piece.

"The guy said he worked for the Fossil Center." I offered.

"Good let's start there!" She said, grabbing my arm and pulling me toward the dock.

A:/N Wow…that…was… LONG! No idea when the next one will be up…but I'm considering leaving it in Jay's point of view…not sure on what to do yet though.
