Hey, I'm back once more with a new chapter. Since I did the Japan arc in one go I'm going to try to do the same with the last two arcs. Now for the reviews, Austin I don't think I can ever copy a great man like Robin Williams for this chapter and with the new weapons, I didn't think about adding any new armors, now on with the show.
"Man and we lost the Cosmos Stone," Max said depress as they and the Alpha Gang, after they escaped the bears, boarded the Backlander.
"I wouldn't be too sure about that little brother," Jake said holding up the new symbol on his necklace.
"How?" Rex asked.
"When Ace and I found the White Cosmos Stone I turned a normal rock into the stone then place it back like it was never touched."
"Nice now we have three Cosmos Stones," Zoe cheered.
But as they were cheering, Jonathan announced, "We have an incoming transmit ion from D-Lab."
But as they were talking, Jake sensed that other stones wished to contact him. In his mind he saw that the two new humans, male and female, were standing next to Thunderous; the male was wearing a monks outfit with the main color is purple and the female was wearing a kunoichi outfit only with the main color is white. "Nice to finally meet you wieldier," the man said.
"Yes it's really nice to meet you," the female purred.
"He does have a mate Alizeh," Thunderous warned her.
"Don't worry it's not like I was going to actually flirt with him," Alizeh waved her brother off, "But like Thunderous said my name is Alizeh."
"And I am Tremor," the other man introduced.
"I already told him of our origin story so don't go into it," Thunderous told them.
"But even then we won't have time for a story as the young man is about to wake up," Tremor said. And true to his word the world around Jake started to waver as he opened his eyes.
Looking around he saw Zoe, "What's up?" he asked.
"We've entered the next location for the Cosmos Stone." Looking around the only thing there was sand. "And where are we?" Jake asked.
"We're in the desert of Ancient Persia in the year 757," Jonathan answered. "Then let's deal with this in the morning with us being well rested," Rex announced getting nods.
So as the sun rose, Jonathan beamed them down to the sandy floor, after the group changed their outfits to handle the heat. But as they made a turn on a mountain, Rex had to back up as he saw a space pirate, "What's Garvo doing summoning an Afrovenator and having it attack a door?" Zoe asked.
"Probably has something to do with a Cosmos Stone," Jake answered, "Let's see what he does next."
But as the pirate returned the dinosaur and took off Rex had a confused expression on his face, "Garvo left but the signal is still strong."
"First let's see why Garvo wanted to bash the door open," Jake said as they searched the surface of the rock. "It probably has a password Open sesame," Max said pointing at the rock.
As soon as he said that the door started to slide open. Reaching the end of the tunnel, the group found a huge pile of gold, "Boo-yeah we're fucking rich," Rex cheered. But before they could cheer even further, the ground shook, "It could be the other dinosaur," Zoe said.
"And that's no sauropod either," Jake said.
And stepping out of the shadows was a long neck dinosaur, "That's an Isisaurus," Zoe said in awe.
"Miss get away from there before the dinosaur squashes you," Rex warned. But the person waved off the warning, "Genie isn't going to hurt anyone," the female voice told them.
"Genie?" they said confused but as she stepped out of the shadows the boys, minus Jake, blushed at the beauty of the girl (sorry I couldn't describe the girl so think Jasmine's princess outfit from Aladdin). That is until Zoe elbowed Jake and Max in the stomach, "If I have to remind you Max you do have a girlfriend. And I'm not afraid to tell Amy of what happened just now."
This got Max to pale saying, "I'll be good."
"How did you get Genie anyways?" Jake questioned the girl.
"By a magic lamp."
"Now the only thing we're missing now is a lost princess," Jake joked.
"Well I was lost before you four found me," she said, "I'm princess Zahrah," she introduced herself.
"Well I'm Jake," the magical teen introduced himself. "And that's my brother Max, girlfriend Zoe, and the blushing idiot is Rex," he said pointing to each one.
"How did you get here?" Rex, after calming himself, asked.
"I was taken by the 39 thieves," she told them.
"The 39 thieves," they yelled.
"Yes, they overpowered my guards and took me to this cave," she explained.
"And that's when you met Genie here," Jake said getting a nod.
"Yes at first I thought he was going to eat me but he just wanted to fill his belly," she giggled, "He also ate this red glowing rock as well," she added shocking them.
"He just ate a Cosmos Stone," they yelled getting a confused nod.
"Princess you must not tell anyone of what you heard just now," Jake said then explained, "We're on the hunt for the jewel Genie just ate to keep then out of the hands of thieves and protect them."
"Alright I won't tell a single soul," Zahrah said.
"But first let's get out of here before those thieves get back," Zoe said getting nods but what they didn't know was that as they left the Alpha Gang entered the cave.
But on the way, Max found a card capsule much to their surprise, "There were capsule even in this time period?" Rex asked confused.
"Well, the capsules were scattered when the Backlander exploded," Jake hypothesized. But as they continued they search the area turned its rainbow color as the roars of battle was heard from behind them. "What more dinosaurs?" Zoe asked.
"Most likely Garvo and the Alpha Gang," Max said. Then if things couldn't get even worse dust and rock from the ceiling started to fall, "Come on Zahrah it's not safe," Rex yelled but as they were running they ran into Garvo and his dinosaur.
Before Zahrah couldn't ask Genie to help Rex summoned Ace to battle then added the armor. Already they were stopped from their running as Garvo went for Zahrah but was stopped with the mini-gun from Jake.
Running they passed the Alpha Gang, who had the bags full of the treasure, but as they were within arms reach to the doorway Zahrah tripped on some rocks; however, before any of the rocks could crush her Jake blasted them away as he grabbed the princess. "We got a situation on our hands," Zoe called as the 39 thieves rode towards them. "We need to leave but how?" Zahrah asked.
Hiding behind some rock they overheard the leader say something about reporting to the minister. "Could he really be behind me being captured?" Zahrah, "If he is I'll need to report to my father."
"Then let's get going," Rex said.
Jumping on Genie the dinosaur started its walk through the desert; however, on their way to the Sultan's Palace, the winds started to pick up. "How long until we reach your father's palace?" Rex asked.
"Another day's journey on Genie," Zahrah answered.
"We need to find shelter fast," Jake said.
"But what's heading our way?" Max asked.
"Oh no a desert typhoon," Zahrah said in worry.
"We'll be swept away," Max yelled. But Jake had other plans using the wind Cosmos Stone he directed the typhoon away from them, "Nice one Jake," Rex cheered.
"But the only way to do that is with mystic powers," Zahrah said, "Do you have mystic powers, Jake?"
"Yes princess I do," the magical teen answered.
As Genie continued its walk more trouble arrived. "39 thief's dead ahead," Max announced as the bandits rode towards them. Getting off, Jake primed the mini-guns, "Stop if you know what's good for you," Jake warned.
"I'm ready for your monsters this time," the man said signaling to the Alpha Gang to come in front. "And when we win that girl over there would be an excellent slave after we break her of course," he said leering at Zoe much to the cheering of the rest of the group.
But this was immediately stopped as a heavy pressure fell on everyone. Chocking Zander let out, "This won't end well."
"YOU DARE SAY YOU'RE GOING TO RAPE MY GIRLFRIEND PREPARE TO BE ANILLATED," Jake growled, as his scare started to release a flow of power (similar to Black Rock Shooter), and a card appeared in front of him, "ANILLATE BLACK T-REX."
"What's going on?" Zahrah with a scared look on her face.
"Let's just say that whenever someone threatens Zoe in anyway Jake goes for blood," Rex said with a grim look on his face.
"Turn their bones to ash Fire Scorcher," Jake said as the Black T-Rex launched the attack killing 10 bandits as they were frozen shocked. "Time to fuse," he said as him and the T-Rex fused.
During the fusion process the feet of the dinosaur and fused with Jake as did the rest of the body doing a similar process but the flow of magic was still flowing even with the helmet on. The weapon was the tail turning to something similar to Kubikiribōchō from Naruto.
Before the leader could order a retreat, Jake started butchering any of the thieves nearest to him. "M-monster," one of them cried.
"I'm the monster?" Jake asked, "What about you people threatening to rape someone you're the monsters here so it takes a monster to kill a monster."
"Retreat, retreat," the leader cried out as the remaining bandits, which were only about 15 remaining, ran away.
"Zoe can you calm him down," Max asked.
Nodding she grasp her hands together and sang. (Fire Emblem Fates: "Lost in Thoughts All Alone" English Lyrics and I don't own)
You are the ocean's gray waves
Destined to seek
Life beyond the shore
Just out of reach
Yet the waters ever change
Flowing like time
The path is yours to climb
In the white light
A hand reaches through
A double-edged blade cuts your heart in two
Waking dreams fade away
Embrace the brand new day
Sing with me a song
Of birthrights and love
The light scatters to the sky above
Dawn breaks through the gloom
White as a bone
Lost in thoughts, all alone
As she sang Jake and the Black T-Rex separated with the dinosaur returning to Jakes body and as for the teenager himself, he fell to the floor. "Jake are you alright?" Zoe asked after she finished singing the first verse of the Fire Emblem Fates song. "Sorry everyone had to see that," Jake apologized.
"All is forgiven, you did that to save you, girlfriend," Zahrah said.
Then Jake's eyes widened staring at his shaking hands at what he just did, "Oh god I just killed today." Shaking him Zoe said, "Jake get a grip there's a difference between killing for pleasure and in self-defense. What you just did was to protect us," she said hugging him resulting in him to stop shaking.
After that situation they reached an oasis; however, Jake immediately went to sleep after setting up his tent. "Considering what he did today I'm not surprised," Rex said.
"Zoe stay with Jake he'll still get some nightmares," Max said getting a nod from the girl.
The next morning the couple woke up to the roar of Chomp. "What's going on?" Jake asked as purple putty-like creatures were getting smashed by Chomp.
"Hope you like your morning wake-up call," Foolscap announced.
"Foolscap if you're looking for the Cosmos Stone then we don't have it," Zoe told him.
"I don't buy it, come on out Pachyrhinosaurus."
And in return, the gang summoned their own dinosaurs: Rex summoned Ace, Kentrosaurus for Jake, and Paris for Zoe. After placing the armor, Foolscap used Anhanguera Dive to attack Ace, "Man this is bad," Rex said.
"Whirling Dash," Jake commanded getting rid of the putties. "With Jake and Kentrosaurus taking care of things there we'll take care of Anhanguera," Zoe said, "Diamond Wing." Summoning the three Quetzalcoatlus they easily overpowered Anhanguera.
"Comp finish this with Ultimate Thunder," Max said slashing the move card ending the battle and claiming the card as Zoe claimed the move card.
With that over with, the gang continued on to the palace. "The sooner we get to the city the sooner we can tell my father of the Minister," Zahrah said getting nods.
Upon reaching the city they only had a single problem, "We can't have Genie enter the city," Zoe said. "We can always return him back into a card," Jake said.
"Then let's do it," Rex said. After getting off the dinosaur, Jake pressed a couple of buttons returning Genie back into a card as well as reveal the Cosmos Stone, "Now we have the fifth Cosmos Stone," Jake said as a fire symbol appeared next to the wind symbol.
"Now let's enter the city," Max said.
Upon entering the city, they found a wanted poster with the princess's face on it. "Let her go," Zahrah demanded after seeing one of the members of the Sultans royal court members being manhandled.
"Shite I thought the princess wouldn't get here this soon," the man cursed.
"And I would listen to what the princess says," Jake said pulling out both tantos.
"Double shit it's you," he said as the man released the girl and both started to run.
After an unexpected meeting with the Alpha Gang, the group found out that when they made it out of the cave in they were held hostage and they wouldn't let Dr. Z out until they take the princess. "I'm sure if we hand over the princess we can get Dr. Z out of the prison via promotion," Ursula told them.
"Not happening," Rex said, "I promised I would protect her and I'm going to keep my crush on her."
"What did you say?" the female in question asked as they both blushed. On the way out the Alpha Gang diverted the bandits away from the D-Team.
"Man, where did the bastard get these many people soon after I . . . killed most of them," Jake asked but had to pause when he said kill.
"No clue," Max said, "Isn't there some sort of passageway that leads to the palace from the outside?" he asked Zahrah.
"There are rumors but I'm not too sure they're real, though."
"But first did anyone take some of the gold we found in that cave from a few days ago because I'm hungry," Rex asked.
"For a simple meal or a feast fit for a king?" Jake asked with a wave of his hand and four gold coins appeared. "Great job," they, minus Zahrah, cheered.
"Yeah, yeah I'm sure you guys also snatched some gold as well," he waved much to the blushes of ever one. Entering the city, after changing their outfits, they were able to get four sacks of food enough to last an entire month with the leftovers going to Helga. Moreover, as they were leaving they passed by a stand selling genie lamps, "Man I got to get one," Max said but was stopped by his brother. "You do know they're probably fake right?" he asked getting a depressed Max.
"Let's just leave and find a way into the castle," Rex said.
But it looks they had company, "Look there's the princess get her," one of the bandits screamed. As another bandit took off her head scarf revealing her face, the man from the stands blushed.
"Oh no Zahrah," Rex said.
"Take her friends in as well were getting that reward," another bandit yelled.
As bandits came from all around Jake let out a smirk. "What's so funny we have you surrounded?" one of them asked.
"Has no one ever told you not to judge a book by its cover?" he asked, "No. Well here's why come on out Jaws," he said summoning Baryonyx.
Roaring the dinosaur bared its fangs causing everyone in the vicinity to run screaming. "We have to hide," Zoe said.
"But where?" Rex asked.
"I happen to have such a spot," the teenager from the selling stand said walking up to them, "If you would please follow us." Seeing them run they followed, but the hiding spot was a run downed house.
"Why are you so willing to help us?" Zahrah asked.
"Do I have to have a reason to help?" the teenager asked.
"500,000 coins for the princess ring any bells," Jake said.
"Come on we can search for the secret entrance on our own," Rex said. But they all stopped when the teenager, Aladdin when he introduced himself, said, "That entrance it's hidden in a cave outside the city walls."
"Will you lead us there?" Zahrah asked.
"Of course let's get going," he said as they set out.
Entering the mountain way, they found themselves surrounded by bandits then also found out that the man that accompanied Aladdin sold them to the bandits.
But as they were being dragged off they heard, "No one man handles my future husband, go Lexovisaurus." As the dinosaur showed up and charged at the bandits, Jake felt something soft against his back. "I hope those ants didn't harm you to bad my future husband," Sheer whispered slowly dragging her finger down his neck.
"Let him go, Sheer," Zoe demanded.
"Why should I when you couldn't save him which goes to show you that I'm the better wife for Jake."
But the Jake in Sheer's grasp broke like glass and to the D-Team and Sheer the roars of an engine was heard. "What is that thing?" one of the bandits asked.
The vehicle was a silver blue with a long barrel and a smaller one on the right side of it (sorry for the bad description but it's the Formula Skell from the Xenoblade Chronicles). "Thankfully the bullets are set to stun," they heard Jake say through the bracers as the machine started to fire.
Transforming Jake aimed the rocket launch at Lexovisaurus launching three rockets at it sending the dinosaur flying. "Rex finish, I'll make sure none of those bandits come back," Jake said transforming back into vehicle mode and rrode towards the direction of where the bandits retreated.
"Well you heard the leader Ace," Rex told his companion, "Wind Hammer." As Ace ran towards the dinosaur he jumped and as he came down a hammer formed underneath ending the battle.
As Sheer was about to grab Zahrah Aladdin tackled the pirate. "You saved me," she whispered as Rex took her hand. "Come on princess, Jake told us that he's holding off the bandits but some were able to pass him so we have to go," he said as he was flanked by Max and Zoe.
Reaching the oasis from earlier, they saw Jake already there with Genie, neck deep in the sand, drinking water. "So you're saying that we're going to save Aladdin?" Rex asked. "Yes he did show us the secret passageway," Zahrah said.
"But he's a crook," Max told the princess.
"A cute crook."
"But now we need to find a new way into the palace," Zoe said getting them on track.
"Or we just knock on the front door," Jake said his opinion. But he wasn't the only one to agree with the option as Genie roared bringing his body out of the sand.
Not even saying anything else the princess jumped on Genie as Jake got back into the Skell and the others summoned their dinosaurs. And just like in Japan, they stormed the outer wall running or flying towards the palace.
Just entering the palace gate, they see the Alpha Gang summoning their dinosaur. Flying next to Genie Jake opened the cockpit to extend his hand, "Princess you should come with me things are about to get ugly." Nodding Zahrah got in the second seat in the cockpit.
"The princess is secure let's go wild," Jake announced to the others. "Dinotector on Element Buster," the four said equipping their dinosaurs with the armor as the Alpha Gang placed the armor on their dinosaurs.
"Poseidon's Wrath/Flower Cannon/Charge Ram/Ninja Attack," all four yelled. As the three dinosaurs were washed slamming the wall Terry was pushed through the wall as Chomp rammed him. Spiny was also blasted through the wall as the green beam slammed him. And Tank was the only one not being slammed against the wall as Ace constantly dashed through him.
"Ed, Zander, Ursula go find that Cosmos Stone," Dr. Z said as he exited the prison.
"Zahrah thank goodness you're alright," the Sultan said as Aladdin was behind them.
Landing the robot Skell Zahrah hugged her father. Running up to them was the royal guards, "Guards find those bandits at once," the Sultan demanded.
"You mean those bandits along with the Minister," Jake said pointing to said people.
After the arrest and the rest of the bandits captured and the Alpha Gang returning to the ship, they regrouped with Zahrah. "You alright princess?" Rex asked.
"Yes I'm fine, but I'm not too sure about the palace," she said looking at all the destruction.
"We caused it so we'll fix it," Jake said. Ignoring the confused looks, Jake pulled out a card as the seal appeared, "Hear me lord of time let me use thy powers to restore this area to its previous state," he said as a burst of magic flow from his fixing everything to the amazement of everyone watching.
"And Genie will be alright with you four?" Zahrah asked after getting over her amazement.
"Yup Genie's in good hands," Jake said as the Backlander appeared overhead. "See you later princess," Zoe waved as they were teleported up.
So the Persia arc is done, man that was hard. Well I'm closer to being finished as my throat is still sore, see you later.
