Harvey stormed through the forest with Zoey and Josh not far behind him. The pair was struggling to keep up with his pace. The Dino defenders (minus Kyle) were hiding behind every bush they came across, hoping that Harvey wouldn't spot them.
Jack kept his eyes on Harvey despite the situation, he had missed this, the days where he and his friends would just walk into the forest and pretend that they were following someone, the days before the Lionheart and the defender powers.
Harvey suddenly stopped and looked down at the floor puzzled, "I'm standing on the X."
Harvey's two associates also looked confused. Harvey then started to stamp the floor hard like he was looking for a trap door. Josh and Zoey glanced at each other then back to the Harvey slightly concerned about his wellbeing. Harvey was now stomping the ground harder when he fell through the ground and landed with a thud into something hard.
"Ow!" He shouted as he got up.
Zoey and Josh ran to his aid, he was at least 10ft underground; there was no way they would jump down. There must be another entrance. Josh threw down a torch which Harvey grabbed. He shone it around and found out that he had a choice of two ways to go.
"Will you two hurry up!" He shouted, "We need to find this power!"
Zoey and Josh ran towards their supplies bag and grabbed something that was in a complete mess and looked like it had been squashed into the bag. Zoey threw half of it down to Harvey. It was a rope ladder. Josh attached the spare rope to the tree and the pair cautiously climbed down it.
The Jr defenders were still behind the bush when they saw this and secretly smiled to themselves, they now had a way down thanks to the enemy.
~Ooooo~
"Kyle!" Amy shouted, "Where on earth are you going?"
"Somewhere!" Kyle shouted back.
"Kyle!" Drake shouted as he ran up to him, "Seriously, what is wrong? Why did you run off?"
"My friends called, there's an emergency." Kyle told them, "Listen, I'll meet you guys at the smoothie bar tomorrow, 12ish."
Kyle ran back towards the castle leaving Amy and Drake slightly concerned.
~Ooooo~
"I bet it's an underground lair." Danny said as he crouched down and looked down the open ground door."
"It's an underground something." Jack replied, "Are we waiting for Kyle..."
"Up to you." Zsa-Zsa replied, "Danny's left him co-ordinates, he'll figure out where we are."
"But what if Harvey finds him first?" Annaka commented, "He can't fight him alone."
The 4 defenders pondered for a few moments. One the one hand they really wanted to go down and find out what is down there while on the other hand they wanted to wait for Kyle so he wouldn't be alone. Jack remembered James's words from the other day.
"Kyle never talks to us anymore." Jack said fixed the computer with James, "Like talk properly, he's always at his new friend's house. He only met them yesterday."
"Let Kyle have some friends. He only has you guys." James replied.
"I know it's just it feels like he's ditching us."
"Jack, let him hang out with his new friends and be independent. Anyway, you Jr defenders were only a 4 before Kyle came along. I'll bet it'll be like old times when he's not around."
Jack looked down the whole then at his friends. James was right, at this moment in time it felt like the good old days and they were on an adventure. Only this time Charles wouldn't be calling them in for tea or Annaka wouldn't be able to call time out when she felt like it.
"We'll go ahead and Kyle can catch us up. We'll leave a trail." Jack ordered.
The Jr defenders nodded as they began to deceased into the ground one by one. The wooden ladder was a foot off the ground, so Jack jumped down with a quiet thump. The others followed in his footsteps not wanting to alert Harvey or his companions.
"Who are the kids?" Danny asked out of the blue when they all made it to the ground, "I've never seen them before."
"I have." Zsa-Zsa announced, "Around town. Never spoke to them or seen them together though."
"You don't think they were spies?" Annaka asked.
"Doubt it or we'll have been destroyed a long time ago!" Danny replied.
Jack was about to remind him about JCD and Overdrive but felt that in this situation, a dark cave with your enemy inside, it didn't feel like an appropriate time. Jack looked around, like Harvey he had two choices. There were two paths- both leading in the opposite direction.
"Any idea which way to go?" Zsa-Zsa asked.
"Charles built this underground place?" Annaka asked.
"Let's presume he did. Why?" Jack replied.
"Well if I were Charles, I wouldn't just place two paths going in opposite directions leading nowhere. He built things for a reason so…"
"Either path can lead to something important." Danny concluded.
Jack then turned to the nearest path and started walking down it. There was some lighting but it wasn't that brilliant. Jack picked up some random pieces of wood just lying on the floor.
"Danny a bit of help." Jack said passing the wood to Danny who clicked his fingers setting the wood alight, "Thanks."
With passage better lit, the 4 Jr defenders set off at a faster pace. As they got further down the passage, it became clear that they had gone the wrong way as they familiar sound of mechanical beings was heard.
"Okay, guys, I'll go centre and stop them with my sonic boom. Zsa-Zsa, go left and override their circuits with your electricity and Annaka and Danny you go right. Danny, try to melt them while Annaka move them out of the way." Jack ordered.
"Or we could use our Dino powers?" Danny suggested, "Like when we always come across the robots."
"Oh yeah." Jack muttered, is this what Kyle's absents did to him, made him think like older times?
"Are you going to call it or is someone else?" Danny asked as they moved closer.
"You do it." Jack rubbing his temples with his head, he'll put it down as lack of sleep.
"It's Dino Time!" Danny shouted quietly.
"Pterodactyl!"
"Triceratops!"
"Vulcanodon!"
"Tyrannosaurus!"
The pink, blue, green and red coloured flashes caught the attention of the robosaurs, Josh and Zoey, and they rushed to the intruders. However this robosaurs were better armed with swords instead of the puny daggers they had before.
Annaka jumped back and ducked when one of the robosaurs tried to stab her. One of the swords did hit her arm but due to the material of her outfit it bounced off, leaving Annaka slightly bruised. She kicked one sword away and cart wheeled over to join Danny, who was struggling with his robosaurs as well. The pair tried to kick and punch but the swords got in the way.
Two of the robosaurs kicked them two the ground. They went down with a thud. A green and pink flash indicated they had powered down to defeat. Their Dino tubes flung out of their morphers and were rolled on the floor next to Josh and Zoey's feet.
They picked them up and looked at the two teenagers looking defeated and in a lot of pain. Something in them broke. The next thing they could remember was looking down at the ground and rubbing their eyes.
Josh looked around and remembered the two teenagers. The other two were still fighting but were also failing. They had destroyed some. Josh grabbed the Dino tube of Zoey and kicked it near the teenagers. He then pulled her away from the fight and back towards Harvey, for answers to what Ivar had done to them in the first place.
The robosaurs had surrounded Annaka and Danny, who were still in pain. The pair slowly stood up as the robosaurs were about to swing their swords. Annaka pushed her hands towards them. The robosaurs flew away due to the telekinetic powers of Annaka.
Zsa-Zsa and Jack witnessed this and powered down. The 4 Jr defenders followed Jack's plan to begin with. Zsa-Zsa fried her robosaurs circuits with her electricity burning them out. Jack broke them to pieces due to his sonic booms. Danny burnt the robosaurs and Annaka finished them off but throwing them against the far wall.
When all of the robosaurs were defeated the Jr defenders regrouped. It had felt like olden times. Their happiness was short lived when they heard another set of Robosaurs coming in the opposite direction.
The Jr defenders were ready to fight when the robosaurs seem to break down themselves. They fell to the floor in an electrical powered heap with water dripping of them.
"It's amazing how much trouble you guys get into when I'm not around." Kyle said walking over the robosaurs to them, "Lucky I was here to save your backs."
