PART SIX:
Styraco was wondering around the Tar-Pits base in puzzlement, he hadn't seen any of his fellow Tyrannos in what felt like hours. He had looked for them in all the usual places, such as the living quarters, labs and the main hanger but found no-one. So, he decided to go to the control room to get some answers and see if anyone was there. As he got closer to his destination Styraco became aware of a steady pounding noise echoing up the corridor. Listening carefully Styraco could also hear what sounded like Genghis Rex's angry voice mixed with the pounding.
"Open this door! Somebody open this door now!"
"Bossasaur?" Styraco said hurrying up to the closed control room door. "Is that you?"
"Styraco!" Rex said in mixed anger and relief. "Where on Reptilon have you been?! I called for assistance on my radio hours ago!"
"I had my radio switched off while doing some work in the hanger your Scaliness."
"Never mind the excuses!" Rex yelled through the door. "Get this door open! Ankylo reprogrammed the lockdown procedures and sealed me in here!"
"Ankylo?" Styraco said in disbelief. "I thought he was a mindless vegetable!? How the heck could he do that? What's happened to all the others?"
"It's a long story and I'll tell you when we go find that traitor! Now get the door open!"
"At once Chiefasaur," Styraco said taking the door control panel off from the wall.
"QUIT CALLING ME CHIEFASAUR!"
"Yes sir!" Styraco said hurriedly and started fiddling with the wiring inside the panel.
After a few minutes altering the panel wires, the control room door finally opened up revealing a VERY angry Genghis Rex.
"At last!" the Tyranno leader said in restrained fury. "Ankylo is going to PAY for this treason with his LIFE! Come with me Styraco we are going to find that traitor right now!"
"Where is he?" Styraco asked his leader as he followed him to the main hanger.
"I'll explain as we go," Rex said over his shoulder.

A while later in his base of operations meeting room, Ankylo was calmly sitting in his chair sipping tea when Princess Dei came hurrying in.
"Ankylo, we have a problem…a VERY BIG problem!"
"Oh really?" Ankylo said carelessly. "What might that be?"
"My brother Genghis Rex has escaped from the Tar-Pits, now he's on his way HERE to deal with you AND all of us for betraying him!"
"Don't worry yourself my dear Dei," Ankylo said taking a sip of tea. "It was obviously only a matter of time before that hot head of a Tyranno managed to escape the Tar Pits. No doubt that dummy had help from Styraco as he was the only other Tyranno who DOESN'T know what we're actually up to."
"Well what are we going to DO?"
"We're not going to panic for a start," Ankylo said practically. "Now," he went on. "Can you please go and tell the others to keep an eye on our…'guests,' then hurry back so we can deal with your brother."
"Alright," Dei said reluctantly. "I just hope you know what you're doing."
"Oh I do," Ankylo smiled. "I also know YOU believe me too, after all you ARE wearing the necklace I gave you."
"Oh so you've notice," Dei said blushing lightly from Ankylo's observation. "Well…it's such a nice necklace I felt it would be a shame NOT to wear it. Glad you like it."
"I like it," Ankylo said approvingly. "But your brother might not, which is why we must prepare for his arrival. Off you go," he said hurrying her away.

A few minutes later Genghis Rex and Styraco were standing outside the entrance of Ankylo's funhouse hideout.
"This is where Ankylo has been hiding?" Styraco said in disbelief to his leader.
"Yes," Rex replied angrily as he stormed down the stairs into the base. "But he won't be finding it so 'funny' in a minute or so longer when I'm through with him!"
"Wait for me!" Styraco cried as he followed his leader down the stairs.
"ANKYLO!" Rex yelled furiously looking around the perfect replica of his Tar-Pits base. "Where are you? You little snorting WART?!"
At the sound of the Tyranno Leader's voice several neon arrows lit up pointing a path to a door marked 'Dining Area.'
"Oh, VERY cute!" Rex snarled sarcastically as he and Styraco followed the arrows to the Dining Area. Inside the room they found a large banquet table surrounded by chairs with the other Tyranno's sitting in them enjoying a delicious feast. Sitting at the head of the table was Ankylo calmly drinking his tea and eating some buttered scones.
"Just what on Reptilon do you think you're all doing in here?!" Rex snapped to his fellow Tyranno's.
"We're having a meal to celebrate our success over the Dinosaucers," Ankylo replied calmly sipping his tea. "Feel free to join us," he added indicating the feast on the banquet table.
"Oh thanks," Styraco said eagerly coming forward. "I am feeling a little hungry."
"You're not eating ANYTHING this traitor offers you!" Rex said grabbing Styraco by the scruff of his neck and dragging him back to his side. "That goes for the rest of you traitors eating at this table too!" he added making the other Tyranno's guiltily stop eating. "How DARE you all let Ankylo hide what had happened to him from me!" Rex ranted on. "You not only did that…but you let him get away with building a new base, talk you into committing treason and then take action against the Dinosaucers WITHOUT my permission!"
Seeing his fellow Tyranno's all cringe in guilt over Rex's verbal abuse, with the exception of Princess Dei who seemed rather indifferent to it, Ankylo decided to speak up. "Excuse me 'Bossasaur,'" he said breaking into the Tyranno Leader's rant. "Although it IS true certain things WERE withheld from you on purpose, what exactly have we done wrong? If you think about it everything we've done is in support the Tyranno cause which is to defeat the Dinosaucers."
Rex stopped his angry rant in mid-sentence as he realised that Ankylo was quite right in everything he had pointed out to him. Taking a closer look at his most loyal Tyranno, Genghis Rex realised that this NEW Ankylo was no longer the snorting fool he had always taken him for in the past. He was dealing with a VERY intelligent and dangerous Tyranno, he would have to tread very carefully if he was to deal with him. Apparently Princess Dei had also come to the same conclusion and was slowly approaching Ankylo like she was ready to attack him. Rex was relieved to see that his sister was STILL on his side, but what she did next shocked not only him but all the other Tyrannos too.
As Ankylo turned at the sudden movement towards him Dei wrapped her arms around him and gave the short Tyranno a passionate kiss on the lips!
For a moment, there was a stunned silence from his unexpected move, then it was broken by Rex who was turning an alarming shade of purple. "Dei," he said in restrained fury. "What on REPTILON and EARTH do you think you're DOING?!
"You're taking me up on my offer, aren't you?" Ankylo said cheerfully to Dei ignoring the raving Genghis Rex.
"You bet I have," Dei smiled back at him.
"WHAT offer?" Rex demanded to know.
"To be my queen," Ankylo answered back simply. "Or rather my wife so to say."
"WHAAAAT?!" Rex screamed at the top of his voice making all the Tyranno's jump to their feet in alarm. "MY SISTER WANTS TO BE YOUR WIFE?! YOU'VE LOST YOUR MIND IF YOU THINK I'M GOING TO ALLOW THIS!"
Rex charged forward with the intention of rendering Ankylo to pieces with his bare hands, however he was restrained by all the remaining Tyrannos which was quite a feat as he was so angry.
"Calm down your Scaliness please!" Styraco begged his leader as he held onto him. "This isn't healthy for you!"
"Yeah Bossasaur you'll give yourself a stroke if you keep this up!" Quackpot added voicing his own concern.
"I don't know what you're getting so worked up about dear brother," Dei suddenly spoke up completely unimpressed by Rex's angry outburst. "I happen to LIKE this new brilliant Ankylo. He has brains, power, influence AND he's cute too."
"I think my dear," Ankylo said confidently to Dei. "That your brother will calm right down when I give him my pre-wedding gift to him. It's the ultimate peace offering that'll guarantee my status as his brother-in-law, the leader of the Dinosaucers Allo himself!"
Hearing this statement caused Rex AND all his fellow Tyrannos to stop dead in their struggle and look at Ankylo in amazed disbelief.
"YOU'RE going to give ALLO to the Bossasaur as a pre-wedding gift?!" Brachio exclaimed in amazement.
"Just how on Earth and Reptilon do you intend to do that?" Rex demanded to know.
"I'm glad you asked," Ankylo smiled. "Just you listen to this plan of mine…"

Some considerable time later Terrible Dactyl swooped down from the sky to land in a tree near the Lava-Dome, in his hands he was carrying a small metal case. Putting the case down the flying Tyranno opened it up to reveal another one of Ankylo's flying drones.
"Terrible Dactyl to base," the flying Tyranno spoke into his radio. "Terrible Dactyl to base. I'm outside the Lava-Dome and releasing the drone."
'Excellent,' Ankylo's voice crackled back through the speaker. 'Release it, head back to base and leave the rest to me.'
"Already doing it," Terrible Dactyl said turning the drone on. After allowing it to fly away towards the Lava-Dome the Tyranno closed the case, then flew away as fast as he could before anyone could see him.

In the Lava-Dome control room Allo was pacing up and down in worry for his missing team mates, while the Secret Scouts and remaining Dinosaucers looked on in silent concern for their leader and friend.
"It's been over two and a half hours since Tricero, Bronto Thunder and Ichy were captured by the Tyrannos," Allo said quietly to himself. "When will we hear from them? What do they want?"
"Uh…I think we're about to find out Uncle Allo," Bonehead said nervously pointing to the drone which Terrible Dactyl had released outside fly in.
"You're right," Allo said grimly as the drone started to project Ankylo's hologrammatic image in front of them. "I've got a feeling this is a message baring only BAD news."
"Greetings Dinosaucers," Ankylo said tipping his top hat politely to his enemies. "Thanks to your stupidity, you ACTUALLY fell for my ruse and got THREE of your friends captured. If you want to see them again ALIVE and UNHARMED you'll do exactly what I say."
"Really?" Allo said cautiously. "What exactly do you want?"
"It's very simple Allo," Ankylo said confidently. "In order to get your missing friends back I'm challenging you to a one on one duel! Thus, proving beyond any shadow of a doubt the superiority of my newfound brainpower once and for all. If YOU win my prisoners will be released UNHARMED without a scratch. However, if I win…you must not only surrender ALL your own technology to me, but ALL of you Dinosaucers have to leave Earth for Reptilon FOREVER and NOT interfere with out plans EVER again! So, what do you say?"
