(Here it is bois! Act 2 baby! Woooooooooooo! Yeaaaaaah babyyyy! That's what we were waiting for! That's what it's all about! Wooooooo!
Also unrelated but there was this guy in the reviews named "The Nerdinator", awesome name by the way, I love it lol. Anyway, he was in the reviews saying that the Chasmosaurus wasn't found in Sweden even though I EXPLICITLY STATED in the chapter that I was bullshitting and that I had no idea where Chasmosaurus was found. He also said the Scolosaurus didn't have two spikes on it's clubbed tail. Yeah, and Spiny didn't walk on two legs and was more built for water. This is Dinosaur King, buddy, not the discovery channel…
…
He blocked me after I called him out lmao. I guess I broke his fragile ego.
Anyway, don't go harassing him for this, I just thought I'd call him out cuz of how much of a prick he was being lol. Onto the story!)
The Grand Master's hideout was shown fully intact as a Black Eagle Chinook flying overhead, rappelling down soldiers as Commander Blaise and Wrench could be seen standing on top of the roof. Several gunshots and roars were heard in the distance as a single flash of light lit up from near the hideout's base before four strands of light shot out from the ground, going in different directions. One specific strand of light flew to the east as it flew at the speed of light, passing by a forest, followed by a city, followed by a series of roads and minor cities before crossing what appeared to be the American-Mexican border wall. This was followed by presumably the Gulf of Mexico before crossing several Latin-American countries before landing in an unknown forest.
The strand of light landed safely on the ground as it soon materialized into a card with a Shadow symbol on it. From there, it laid on the ground for minutes. Minutes became hours. Hours to days. Days to weeks. Until finally, during the middle of the day, a leaf fell from a tree and covered the card in a shadow, activating it as a black glow with a white outline emitted from the card. Several trees were completely destroyed as a large sauropod foot landed on the ground as a devilish growl emerged from the unknown beast. The unknown dinosaur opened its eyes, revealing them to be red and black before letting out what was possibly the loudest and most ferocious roar ever to be heard. Several birds flew away upon hearing the roar as the forest had gained not only a new inhabitant, but also an apex predator. One that would eventually prove to be the biggest and mightiest, if not toughest, dinosaur to ever be created.

A seven nation army couldn't hold me back!
Dinosaur King: Prehistoric Peril
Yeah!
Several weeks after rescuing Mr. Mills from the Grand Master, things have been relatively quiet for the D-Team, hearing nothing from both Black Eagle and the Grand Army as Mr. Mills calls them. Not even a new dinosaur has popped up on the map, leaving the D-Kids to their own devices, busy with school and life. Max however has been conflicted with his feelings for Zoe ever since his failed confession during the Winter Formal, and ever since then he's been spotting his pink haired friend hanging out more with Francis every day. It also didn't help that Dr. Z had hired Francis to be the new member of the Alpha Gang through an unpaid internship, so that just meant that Max would be seeing more of his love rival even more.
Currently, Max was sulking in the middle of his room, browsing the internet and watching whatever videos he felt like watching on his computer. His moment of solitude was interrupted when Rex entered his room. "Hey, Max." he says to him in a solemn tone.
"Hmm." Max replies in a tone that completely lacked emotion.
"Your mom's worried about you." he tells his best friend. "Ever since the new year started a week ago, you've been cooped up in this room watching online videos and doing nothing. I- I think I even saw you growing a double chin at one point."
"What's the point? Zoe's with Francis now so there's nothing I can really do about it." Max depressingly claims as he hangs his head low.
Rex entered his room and sat down on his unmade bed. "Max," he starts off. "we're all worried about you. We all miss that hyperactive, optimistic kid that lives in this house. I miss the 'in your face' attitude you usually have. Your snarky comments and crude humor. I know it's too late to be with Zoe but that doesn't mean you should just give up on everything around you."
"Yes, I can. I'm doing it right now." Max mumbles as he leans back in his chair.
"See, even your defiance is lacking sarcasm. Max, I think it's time to move on. Maybe… Maybe see someone else?" Rex suggests.
"Yeah, like who?"
"Uh… Well, there's Amy."
Max turned to the blonde with a raised brow. "Rex, she's a lesbian." he tells her.
"She is?" Rex asks in a surprised tone. "Good for her."
Max went back to sulking in his chair. "Zoe was the only one for me. Her soft hair, her cute smile, her pouting face she does when she's mad. There's no other girl like her."
Rex sighed in defeat, standing up from Max's bed before finally coming to his last solution. "I didn't wanna do this, Max, but you've given me no other choice… Next week you go back to school and you're gonna get your mind off Zoe because of it."
"AW NOOOOO! I hate school." Max loudly proclaims as he falls on the floor.
Rex suddenly turned to Max's overflowed trash can full of tissues. "Hey, do you have allergies by the way?" he asks the brunet.
Max sat back down at his seat. "No. Why?" he asks him.
"Then why is your trash can full of used tissues?"
Max's eyes widened in response, suddenly in an awkward moment with no way of explaining to his oblivious friend. The awkward moment was suddenly interrupted when both their DinoShots began beeping in their pockets, much to Max's relief. "Oh, thank God! A new dinosaur appeared. Come on, let's go!"
"Wait, what about the tissues?" Rex asks as Max runs past him.
"You'll learn when you're older." Max says on the way out.
Rex raised a confused brow in response. "But I'm older than you." he says to himself.
The two best friends rode their bikes up the hill and to the D-Lab, where Zoe was already there along with Reese with Paris sleeping in her green, fluffy doggy bed. "Where's the dinosaur at, Reese?" Max asks as he and Rex enter the lab.
Reese didn't answer right away, instead typing on the computer for a while before finally answering the two. "Sorry, I was dealing with an error. Apparently the computer can't pick up the element of the dinosaur." she tells the two.
For a brief moment, the two teens were confused before turning to the D-Lab's super computer, where they saw the screen flashing the words UNKNOWN ELEMENT DETECTED on the screen. It was then they realized what this meant.
"Rex, do you remember when this happened last time?" Max asks his friend in a fearful tone.
Rex gulped in response. "I do. The Atrociraptor." he answers.
Zoe shudders in response. "Great. So now we have to battle another Shadow dinosaur. As if the Atrociraptor was bad enough." she shudders in fear.
"Where's the Alpha Gang?" Max wonders aloud.
As if on cue, the automatic doors opened, revealing the Alpha Gang along with Dr. Z and Francis, with an all new look as well. Francis was now wearing a brown sleeveless zipper hoodie with a white long sleeved shirt with the Alpha Gang's symbol on it followed by camo colored cargo pants with the cuffs stuffed inside a pair of leather boots. He still retained his car bolt necklace but now spotted a purple headband around his forehead along with black fingerless gloves.
"Ding dong! It's me!" Dr. Z loudly announces.
"Dr. Z, do I really have to wear this?" Francis asks the crazed doctor. "Long sleeves aren't really my thing. I'm more of a short sleeved type of guy."
"Sorry, but Ed wears the T-Shirt with the gang's symbol on it." Dr. Z replies as he crosses his arms and looks the other way.
Just by seeing Francis made Max growl in anger. Zoe, however, was more than pleased to see him, evident when she latched into his arm. "Francis, you actually look nice in long sleeves." she tells him.
"I do?" Francis asks with a smile. "Aww, thanks. That's nice of you."
"It's what I'm here for, babe." Zoe replies as she leans her head into his shoulder.
Max grinded his teeth in seething rage. "Babe?!" he growls.
"Let it go, Max." Rex tells his friend.
"Now that you're here, I must warn you guys." Reese tells the gang. "You're going to be dealing with possibly a Shadow dinosaur so be careful."
Just by hearing the news, the trio gulped in fear in response. "Great. More vicious dinosaurs that will actually kill us." Ursula grumbles in response.
"But now you have Super Terry and Super Spiny with you! I also upgraded Tank so now she's Super Tank!" Dr. Z loudly proclaims as she holds up Tank's new card which was now fully purple due to her element.
"Heyyyy! When can you upgrade Chomp?" Max asks the doctor.
"You haven't asked yet! I've actually been waiting for you!" Dr. Z yells at the teen.
Max was embarrassed on the spot. "Oh." he embarrassingly replies. "Hey, wait a minute! Why is Francis here! He doesn't even have a dinosaur! Or for that matter, a stone!"
"No need to worry, Max my boy. Huzzah!" Dr. Z yells out as he pulls out a fourth Alpha Scanner. "I already had Francis pick out a dinosaur so don't worry about him wasting air."
"Too late." Max mumbles as he glances the other way with lidded eyes.
"But wait, what about a stone? We're already using the elemental stones." Rex states aloud.
Dr. Z pushed a button and the back of the Alpha Scanner opened, revealing that the center plate of the Stone Tablet was inside. "I gave him the center plate." he reveals.
A brief silence loomed over the group. "Okay?" Rex replies in a questionable manner, not knowing how to respond.
Dr. Z handed the fourth Alpha Scanner to Francis afterwards. "Now you remember how to use this, right?" he asks the teen.
"I hope so. Helga made me read the manual for an entire week." Francis says as he takes the scanner.
The trio giggled in response. "Don't forget the call out phrase every time you summon your dinosaur. If you do, I'll be really mad. But I will be more mad." Bartholomew quickly adds.
Francis gulped in response. "Yes, sir." he mumbles in genuine fear.
"Well, that's all from me. I gotta go mad scientist things. KOKBYE!"
And with that, Dr. Z sped out of the room in literally a flash, leaving a dust cloud in the shape of him as it fell to the ground. The Alpha Trio clapped in response to this neat trick. "So where's the dinosaur, Reese?" Zoe asks her sister as she stands beside her.
W.E.S.L.E.Y.'s face suddenly appeared on the screen. ~the super duper scary dinosaur is at the Amazon Rainforest. be sure to bring an umbrella lolol~
"Oh, great. That place again." Ursula says in an annoyed tone as she rolled her eyes.
"Hey, that's the place where we got our very first wild dinosaur card. The Saltasaurus!" Zoe reminds the group with a smile.
Paris was suddenly turned into a card as said card appeared in the pinkette's hands before the two groups entered the teleporter. "Remember," Reese tells the group. "it's a Shadow Dinosaur so be very careful."
"Don't worry. We'll be fine." Max says with a smile. "And if anything, we can use Francis as bait."
"Wait. What?" Francis asks in shock.
"Good luck." Reese tells the group as she pushes a button, immediately teleporting the group.
Francis however was more scared than anyone there since this was his first time in the teleporter. "Wait, I've never done this beforAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"
And with that, the group had teleported out of the D-Lab. "Do you think he's going to be alright, W.E.S.L.E.Y.?" Reese asks the D-Lab A.I..
~we can use his body for compost if he doesn't make it.~
Reese lidded her eyes in response. "That's… morbid." she tells the A.I..
The group had teleported to the Amazon Rainforest and, as always, teleported 10 feet above the ground but by this time, the group were already used to it and gracefully landed on their feet. Aside from Francis whom fell on the ground. "Ow!" he yells in pain.
Much to Max's amusement. "Ha ha. That already made my day." Max laughs as he points at the unfortunate Francis.
"So where's this dinosaur at?" Ursula asks as she scans the entire area.
Unfortunately for the group, they were teleported right in the middle of the forest so all they saw were tall trees and overgrown vegetation, completely blocking the sky and ground. "I don't like how we're in a forest." Zander says in a fearful tone. "That Shadow Dinosaur could attack us from anywhere, like a predator hiding in nature. Remember how vicious that Atrociraptor was? What if this Shadow Dinosaur is more vicious than it!"
"Like it could pounce on us and rip out our hearts?!" Ed cries out in fear.
"I think we should summon our dinosaurs just so we're all ready when we do find the dinosaur." Rex suggests as he takes out his DinoShot.
"Good idea. I'll feel safer with Paris by my side." Zoe says as she mimics his action.
"DINO SLASH!"
"SHOCK 'EM, TRICERATOPS!"
"CARNOTAURUS, BLOW THEM AWAY!"
"BLOSSOM FORTH, PARASAUROLOPHUS!"
Chomp, Ace, and Paris roared into the air as they spawned into existence, much to Francis' awe. "Woaaaaaah." he says in awestruck, being this the first time he's ever seen a dinosaur being summoned in real life before.
"Our turn now! Francis, get your scanner out and remember the call out." Ursula tells the teen as the three grab their Scanners.
"Er, yes, Ursula! Don't worry!" Francis stammers as he pulls out his Scanner.
"ALPHA SLASH! IGNITE, TYRANNOSAURUS REX!"
"ALPHA SLASH! SURF'S UP, SPINOSAURUS!"
Ed held Tank's new and improved card in his hand, an excited smile on his face. "I can't wait to see what Tank looks like!" he enthusiastically exclaims as he slashes the card, summoning her.
"ALPHA SLASH! ROCK N' ROLL, SAICHANIA!"
In another dimension of some sort, the earth cracked as a huge mountain suddenly shot up from the ground, as a chibi sized Saichania shot out from the crack of the earth before finally transforming. While doing so, music that was fit for a female warrior that was not necessarily evil but also had a heroic side to her but also just wanted a good fight played in the background. The chibi sized Tank then underwent a transformation as her legs turned to rock before they grew to an adult size. Her clubbed tail was suddenly engulfed in a huge boulder before it broke, revealing a massive clubbed tail as her spikes on her armor sprouted to life before she finally landed on the ground. There, she slammed her tail so hard that the rest of the mountain behind her shot up from the ground as she roared loudly in the sky. Her new color scheme was completely different as well. Her hide was now purple as her armored back was now gray followed by bright purple spikes while her hide had a design that looked like to be a cracked rock.
"Taaaaank! You look awesome!" Ed shouts in joy of his dinosaur.
"Your turn now, Francis. Don't mess it up." Ursula warns the teen.
"I'll try not to." Francis replies in an unsure tone.
"ALPHA SLASH! RISE N' SHINE, PACHYCEPHALOSAURUS!"
A chibi sized Pachycephalosaurus floated towards the screen before shooting upwards where a ray of rainbow light extended his legs and his tail while finally a ray of light struck it's domed head before finally transforming the chibi dinosaur into a fully grown one. The Pachycephalosaurus landed on the ground and roared loudly in the sky as a bright light illuminated behind it.
"Wow, so you chose the Pachycephalosaurus card, huh Francis?" Zoe asks the teen.
"I liked it's design more than the others if I'm being completely honest." Francis replies with a smile as he scratches the back of his head.
"Great." Max says. "Now that we have all our dinos out, let's start searching for this dinosaur. Since it's the Amazon, I'm pretty sure we're gonna be here for a while."
"Well, better get started then." Ursula claims as the group begin their long hunt for the dinosaur.
And it proved to be a long hunt in the end because even two hours in the search, the team came up with nothing. No signs that a dinosaur was even in the forest at all and in two hours, they covered a lot of ground despite how large the rainforest was. At this point, the humans were tired of walking, judging by their trudging and lack of energy as well as Max falling to the ground in exhaustion.
"Can we take a break, please?" he asks the group.
"Yeah, we've been walking for hours now. My shoes are starting to get mucked up." Zoe says as she takes a look at the sole of her shoe.
"You know, usually I'd say we continue searching but even I need to take a break from all this walking." Rex says as he sits on a log. "Ten minute break, everyone."
Everyone blew a sigh of relief as they all fell to the ground in fatigue, aside from Ursula. "Ugh, finally!" she exclaims as she walks towards a rock. "Walking in these heels is probably the worst decision I ever made. My hair is frizzy, my clothes are dirty, and worst of all, my makeup is getting ruined."
"When Ursula's makeup starts to wash off, you better run for the hills." Zander warns the group as he lies face first on the ground.
"Yeah, ha ha ha. Laugh it up, Zander." Ursula sarcastically replies as she dusts off some dirt off her clothes.
"Why aren't the dinosaurs tired?" Francis asks as he sits beside a tree.
"They're used to walking long distances. You know, for migration." Rex answers the teen.
"Huh. What do you know? You learn something new everyday." Francis replies before downing a full water bottle.
"Yeah, I'm learning now that you suck at knowing dinosaur facts." Max mumbles in anger at the teen.
"I'm more of a pirate guy, Max, so sorry." Francis retorts with a raised brow.
Ed perked up upon hearing this information. "No way! I'm a pirate finatic too! I love pirates!" Ed exclaims as he sits next to Francis.
"Same here!" Francis exclaims happily in response. "I love their code of piracy and how cool they are with their swords and ships! Sailing the seas, taking whatever they want, living a free life! That's the kind of life I wanna live!"
"Yo ho ho and bottle of rum!" the two of them loudly proclaim with fists in the air.
"I see Francis has already made friends with Ed." Zoe says with a smile before turning to Max. "You should learn from Ed, Max instead of angrily glaring at him all the time."
"Pass." Max replies with rolled eyes.
Rex suddenly sat down next to his best friend. "Hey, Max, can I ask you something?" he asks the brunet.
"Those tissues are dirty from uh, food. Yeah, I ran out of napkins." Max quickly responds in a nervous tone.
Rex grew a confused look in response. "What? Ñ-No, not that." he replies while shaking his head. "Earlier today, you had no energy to even leave the house. But when you found out a dinosaur was found, you jumped at the chance to get it? Why's that?"
Max took a moment to think. "I dunno." he shrugs. "I guess finally getting out of the house and trying to find a dinosaur got my mind off Francis… Too bad he's here now and will always be here now that he's part of the Alpha Gang. It just means I'm gonna be seeing a lot of him more often."
"Maybe you should give up this whole rivalry with Francis." the blonde suggests. "I mean, I don't even think he knows there's a rivalry to begin with. Maybe you should try to find yourself someone like Zoe did with Francis. You know? Move on. I'm sure you and Zoe will still be friends regardless."
Max hung his head down low, pondering on the decision for a brief moment. "Yeah, I guess you're right." he admits to his best friend.
Back with Ursula, she was currently trying to get rid of some mud that were on her heels, much to chagrin. "Ugh. Great. Just great. And these are my favorite heels too." she grumbles in annoyance as she takes a seat on a rock.
However, as soon as she did, the rock suddenly moved a bit, freaking out the greenette that she immediately stood up. "Did that rock just move?" she asks the group.
"Last I check, rocks don't move." Zander replies as he leans against a tree.
"I know what my butt felt, Zander! Wait a minute…" Ursula says upon realizing her wording.
At that moment, a low growl emitted from the rock, this time scaring Ursula to the point where she backed away from the rock. "Okay," she says. "rocks DEFINITELY don't growl. What did I sit on anyway?!"
*Ships of Legend from Assassin's Creed: Black Flag plays…*
A large red eye suddenly opened on the side of the rock before it began to move, revealing that the rock wasn't a rock in the first place but instead a dinosaur. The group backed up as they watched the dinosaur slowly get up from its slumber, rising high in the air before eventually surpassing the trees as the group stared up at the dinosaur in not only utter shock and disbelief, but also in sheer horror.
"Oh… My… God…" Zoe gasps in complete shock.
The dinosaur eventually revealed itself as it now stood up in its legs, surpassing the trees while also revealing its species. This dinosaur was and will forever be the largest dinosaur both the D-Team and Alpha Gang have ever come across. A dinosaur larger than the Seismosaurus, larger than the Supersaurus, and larger than Brontikens. This dinosaur… was an Argentinosaurus. The dinosaur's hide color was a combination of black with gray splotches all over with a gray underbelly along with sharp teeth that looked to belong to a carnivore rather than a herbivore.
ARGENTINOSAURUS
The Indomitable Titan
The Argentinosaurus suddenly stood up on its hind legs before letting out the loudest, most ferocious roar ever that instantly drove away the surrounding animals in the forest. The roar could be heard from the next country over. The giant titanosaur landed on the ground which instantly shook it, knocking down several trees while creating an earthquake equal to a 6.0 Magnitude. The earth shook as everyone, including the dinosaurs, were knocked off their feet and fell to the ground.
"What is that?!" Francis yells in absolute fear.
"It's an Argentinosaurus! The biggest dinosaur that has ever walked the Earth!" Rex loudly identifies.
"You see the size of that?! We'll never make a dent in that thing!" Ed yells out in shock.
"We'll see about that!" Max exclaims as he grabs a move card. "Lightning Strike!"
Chomp gathered a significant amount of electricity in his horns before firing a large lightning bolt towards the large sauropod. However, due to its size, the Lightning Strike barely left a mark on the Argentinosaurus' hide, instead only pissing it off as it growled loudly at the Triceratops. Needless to say, this stopped Max's plans in its tracks.
"Oh." he said dumbfoundedly.
"Great. How are we supposed to fight this thing?" Ursula wonders angrily.
"Maybe we can try hitting it very hard?" Francis suggests.
"Screw it! Just attack blindly and try to use fusion moves! You know what they say: The bigger they are," Ursula suddenly grabbed a move card. "the harder they fall! Heat Eruption!"
Terry roared into the sky before summoning a storm of meteors that fell from the heavens, striking the Argentinosaurus, this time dealing at least some damage as the meteors left burn marks on its hide.
"Terry! Terry! He's our man! He can't do it! No one can!" the Alpha Trio cheered for the T-Rex.
Francis, having been the first time he's seen this, stared at the trio in confusion before turning to the kids. "Is this normal?" he asks them, pointing a backwards thumb to the trio behind him.
Zoe and Rex nodded in response.
Instead of going down like a wimp, the Argentinosaurus roared out aggressively, as would any animal after being brutally attacked by meteors conjured out of thin air. In response to this, the largest dinosaur ever recorded decided to retaliate by using one of its moves. It's entire back suddenly began to emit a white light as several spots appeared on it before finally large lasers shot out from the spots high towards the sky. The lasers, which were in the dozens by at least five times, shot up in the air before slowly coming down like they were mortars, striking the ground in different locations.
"Move!" Rex shouts as everyone jumps out of the way.
The lasers struck the ground, leaving holes in it while also simultaneously destroying the trees and knocking the dinosaurs down to the ground. "What move was that?!" Ursula yells loudly.
"I don't know! The Atrociraptor had original moves too so I guess the Argentinosaurus has some as well." Rex theorizes aloud.
"This thing is not gonna go down without a fight." Francis says as he picks himself up.
"If it's a fight it wants, it's a fight it'll get! Let's do this, everyone!" Max cheers as he grabs his move cards.
"Yeah!" Everyone agrees at the same time.
The world suddenly turned into a prehistoric battlefield, still retaining the large forest but changing the modern trees into prehistoric ones. The seven dinosaurs all roared at their large opponent while the Argentinosaurus roared back, its roar comparable to that of Godzilla in terms of decibels. Once more, the Argentinosaurus charged up its mortar attack before firing them off its back, shooting the mortars high in the air before coming straight back down.
"Earth Barrier!"
Tank glowed purple before summoning a shield made of purple crystals that surrounded all seven dinosaurs as the Shadow Mortars bounced off of it, reflecting it back towards the sauropod. The Shadow Mortars struck the legs of the Argentinosaurus, causing it to roar out in extreme anger, its tail knocking down several trees in response.
"Water Sword!"
Spiny conjured up a literal sword comprised completely out of water before slashing it towards the legs of the Argentinosaurus, making it roar out in anger once more. In response, the Argentinosaurus briefly stood up on its hind legs before slamming its forelegs on the ground, shaking the Earth while simultaneously sending a shockwave towards the seven dinosaurs. The shockwave was enough to knock them all down while the sauropod completely obliterated several trees while creating several cracks on the ground. Having enough of standing still and taking the attacks, the large sauropod began to slowly march its way through the forest but due to its large size, didn't make much progress.
"It's trying to run away!" Francis loudly observes.
"Pretty hard to hide when it's literally the largest animal to ever walk the Earth." Ursula sarcastically comments.
"I dunno, Ursula. It did a pretty good job hiding from you." Ed replies innocently.
He earned a whack to the head in response from the greenette. "Zip it." she tells him.
As it was marching through the forest, the tail of the Argentinosaurus smacked down several trees to the ground, blocking the team's path from its chase. "Terry! Burn it down with Magma Blaster!" Ursula commands as she activates the move card.
Terry gathered up fire and lava in his mouth before firing a beam of it towards the blockade of trees, immediately burning them to ash while clearing the way. The group and their dinosaur partners ran through the remnants of the tree and finally caught up with the Argentinosaurus, whom momentarily stopped to charge up more power. Shadowy flames suddenly ignited from its mouth before spewing out what appeared to be fire engulfed in fogged shadows. The Shadow Fire quickly incinerated several trees while leaving a huge wall of shadowy fire in front of the group, blocking their path.
"Metal Wing!"
Zander followed up with his own move card. "Tupuxuara Dive!"
Three Pteranodons and a single Tupuxuara flew high in the air where they immediately got into formation, heading straight towards the large sauropod. There, they quickly delivered rapid and successive strikes to the dinosaur before retreating away to deliver more blows, repeating the process. The Argentinosaurus loudly growled as it swung its tail, successfully knocking out the three Pteranodons while the Tupuxuara flew high in the air to avoid the attack. By this time, the shadow flames died down allowing the group to get back into the battle, this time more weaponry and armament on their side.
"Francis, you gonna stand there or use a move card?" Ursula impatiently asks the teen.
"Oh! I forgot I had one of those." Francis says as he pushes a button on his Scanner, ejecting a move card. "Laser Ray!"
The Pachycephalosaurus emitted a rainbow glow before it's domed head suddenly began to charge up a rainbow light which grew larger and larger by the second. Finally, the Pachycephalosaurus released the beam of rainbow light from its domed head which instantly struck the side of the Argentinosaurus, earning an enraged roar from it.
"WOOOOOOH!" Francis cheers loudly as he throws his hands in the air. "YEAH, BRO! RAINBOWS! OOOOOH!"
The Argentinosaurus roared loudly before suddenly swinging its tail towards the Pachycephalosaurus, knocking it into a tree where upon impact snapped it in half. Francis stood silent as he watched his dinosaur get knocked off like a baseball, not knowing the proper response to react to the situation. Max however was less than kind to him.
"You freaking suck, Francis." Max insults the teen.
Francis grew a depressed look as he hung his head down low. "I know." he acknowledges.
The Argentinosaurus suddenly lifted itself up as it briefly stood up on its hind legs, which only meant one thing. "Incoming! Look out!" Ed shouts as everyone scrambles out of the area. The large sauropod slammed its forelegs down on the ground, creating a massive shockwave that knocked everyone off their feet while also destroying several trees and creating a large crater in the ground. The Argentinosaurus then spewed it's Shadow Fire attack onto the group, setting both Spiny and Chomp ablazed as they ran away to take cover, small flames burning on their hide leaving burn marks on them.
"Sonic Blast!"
Ace gathered up a violent storm of wind before firing a funnel of wind from his mouth, striking the Argentinosaurus directly at its side. "Thunder Driver!" Chomp emitted a vast amount of electricity before leaping high in the air before falling towards the Argentinosaurus, spinning around like a missile before striking the sauropod. However, due to its size, the Argentinosaurus shrugged the Triceratops off, the attack having no effect on it due to its gigantic size.
"It's no use!" Zander cries out. "It's too big! Our attacks are doing anything to it!"
"With his size, I don't really think he even cares or even notices he's getting attacked!" Ed adds in a panicked state.
"So much for my first day." Francis mumbles in defeat.
The Argentinosaurus roared as it glowed black and white, it's back suddenly emitting the same color glow before firing several Shadow Mortars into the air. "It's doing that mortar attack again!" Ursula warns the group.
"Don't worry! I'll shoot it out of the sky with Spike Arrows!" Ed announces as he activates the move card.
Tank roared before suddenly growing a thagomizer on her tail, suddenly shooting energized purple spikes towards the Shadow Mortars and upon impact, destroying them. However, the Spike Arrows didn't destroy all of them, with some of the Shadow Mortars striking the ground while striking Terry directly in his face.
"Terry!" Max and Ursula cry out at the same time.
Terry however shrugged off the attack, instead growing enraged from it as he roared viciously at his opponent, displaying just how powerful and durable he really was. "Guys, I think we're gonna have to use a fusion move to defeat this thing." Zoe says to the group.
"Good idea!" Max and Ursula exclaim at the same time as they grab their move cards.
"What's a fusion move?" Francis asks the pinkette.
He got his answer when Max and Ursula both activated their respective move cards simultaneously. "Let's go! Lightning Blaster!" they both yell out at the same time.
Chomp and Terry both fired a Lightning Strike and a Magma Blaster respectively towards the Argentinosaurus, the two moves combining into a column of magma with electricity sparking from it. The Lightning Blaster struck the Argentinosaurus directly, dealing more damage than a single attack but due to its size, barely did any damage.
"That thing is just too tanky." Max grumbles in anger, annoyed by the giant dinosaur's endurance.
"Let's all attack it at once. Maybe that'll do the trick." Rex suggests to the group.
"If you say so." Francis skeptically replies.
"Lightning Strike!"
"Biting Wind!"
"Emerald Garden!"
"Magma Blaster!"
"Aqua Javelin!"
"Spike Arrows!"
"Laser Ray!"
The seven dinosaurs unleashed their attacks all once as the elemental beams collided, resulting in a larger rainbow beam shooting towards the Argentinosaurus. The attack struck the dinosaur dead on, this time dealing a significant amount of damage which actually managed to hurt the titan-like dinosaur. The Argentinosaurus roared in boiling rage as it gathered up shadowy flames inside its mouth, slowly charging it before releasing the beam of Shadow Fire towards the seven dinosaurs. The Shadow Fire struck all seven of the dinosaurs, critically injuring them as they were left panting and weak in their place.
"Gaaaaaaah! That thing almost wiped out our entire team!" Zander cries out in shock.
"Fix it! Fix it! Fix it! Fix it! Fix it! Fix it! Fix it! Fix it! Fix it!" Ed practically begs anyone to help heal their dinosaurs.
"No need to worry." Zoe smirks as she grabs out a move card. "Nature's Blessing!"
Paris gathered up a ball of healing green energy before firing remediated leaves towards her and her allies, successfully healing all of their wounds and re-energizing them to join back in the fight. "Heeeeey, nice one, Zoe! You're amazing." Francis compliments the pinkette.
Zoe massively blushed and grew a tranced grin as she nervously rubs her arm, a massive wave of euphoria flowing through her system. "Awww, thanks Francis. You're such a sweet guy." she gleefully replies back with a smile.
Max silently growled and scowled at the sight of his love rival flirting with his best friend/crush.
Meanwhile, the Argentinosaurus swung its massive tail at some trees, easily knocking them down while clearing a path for it to escape. "It's trying to escape again!" Zander yells as he points to the fleeing dinosaur.
"After it!" Max yells back as he too points at the sauropod.
The Argentinosaurus continued to storm through the forest when suddenly a bright green glow emitted from the forest ground behind it, grabbing its attention. The giant sauropod turned around to see that seven Tupuxuara flew high in the air before flying towards it at high speeds like a jet. Turns out Zoe had Paris use Green Impulse to try and stop the Argentinosaurus just for them to catch up. The Argentinosaurus spewed out Shadow Fire towards the flying reptiles but due to their size and evasiveness, the attack missed as the Tupuxuaras continued their attack, repeatedly striking the Argentinosaurus.
The Green Impulse attack gave our heroes enough time to catch up to the titan dinosaur. "Now's our chance! Attack!" Rex orders the group as they all grab their move cards.
"Heat Eruption!"
Terry roared a mighty roar while summoning a barrage of meteors from the sky that sped towards the giant dinosaur. The Tupuxuaras flew out of the way so they wouldn't get struck by the meteors, which in return struck the Argentinosaurus, leaving large burn marks on its hide.
"Cyclone!"
A tornado struck Ace as he absorbed the violent funnel of wind, feeling power flow through his body as both his speed and power grew a vast amount. At amazing speeds like the wind, he dashed forward and leapt in the air, striking the Argentinosaurus enough to at least make it stumble a bit. In retaliation, the Argentinosaurus charged up a Shadow Mortar attack before unleashing an armada of energized mortars in the air where they started falling towards the group.
"Earth Barrier!"
Tank summoned a wall of purple crystals that enveloped the seven dinosaurs and their human companions, successfully shielding them from the attack as the Shadow Mortars bounced off. Some of the mortars bounced right back at the Argentinosaurus, using its own power against it and because it was already a powerful attack, dealt critical damage to the giant dinosaur. The Argentinosaurus suddenly stood up on it's hind legs before slamming it's forelegs on the ground, creating yet another massive shockwave that shook the earth, destroying several trees while knocking everyone off their feet.
"Okay, I think I'm getting the hang of this now! One more time, Pachy! Laser Ray!" Francis yells out as he activates the move card.
The Pachycephalosaurus, which Francis has now named Pachy, glowed a rainbow color before his dome skull lit up like a Christmas tree before unleashing a massive beam of rainbow energy towards the Argentinosaurus. The attack was a success as the Laser Ray struck the giant dinosaur right at the base of it's neck, causing it to stumble a bit while destroying a tree in the process.
"Heyyyyy! I got it!" Francis cheered, now getting used to battling with dinosaurs.
"Welcome to the Alpha Gang, Frankie." Zander congratulates as Ed pats his back.
"I- It's only temporary. You know that right?" Francis asks the tall man with a raised brow.
The Argentinosaurus shook it's head after the attack before roaring loudly at it's enemy, slowly charging up it's Shadow Fire attack before finally releasing it towards the group. "Look out!" Ursula warns everyone as they all jump out of the way.
The fire completely incinerated the grass, leaving a massive area of burnt grass as trees were turned to ash while the Argentinosaurus roared loudly in the air. "Now's our chance for another super fusion move!" Rex yells out to his allies.
"Lightning Strike!"
"Sonic Blast!"
"Emerald Garden!"
"Magma Blaster!"
"Hydro Cutter!"
"Spike Arrows!"
"Laser Ray!"
All at once, the seven dinosaurs unleashed their attacks at their massive opponent, the elemental attacks merging with each other to turn into a massive rainbow beam of energy that struck the Argentinosaurus. Like last time, the super fusion move dealt a critical blow to the massive dinosaur, earning a loud, painful roar from it as its jet black hide now had visible wounds on it. Having enough of the combo attack, the Argentinosaurus knocked down several trees with its tail before spewing a beam of Shadow Fire, blocking the group's path to prevent them from chasing.
"Douse the flames!" Zoe cries out.
"Leave that to me! Aqua Vortex!" Zander calls out as he activates the move card.
Spiny summoned a vortex of water which immediately drenched the Shadow Fire and extinguished the flames, clearing a path for our heroes. The group and their dinosaurs gave chase to the Argentinosaurus, their dinosaurs roaring loudly at it to grab its attention, to which it did as it roared back.
"Guys, our dinos look tired." Max says to the group as their dinosaurs panted in exhaustion.
"Well yeah, we're fighting a walking fortress! We need our own giant dinosaur to fight this thing!" Zoe loudly exclaims.
…
…
…
…
"Oh, wait. I have Big Foot Assault." Zoe suddenly remembers.
"OH MY GOD! I COMPLETELY FORGOT YOU HAD THAT CARD!" Max loudly yells in a combination of anger and annoyance.
"Wait, Bigfoot isn't a dinosaur." Francis states in obliviousness.
"What're you waiting for, brat?! Summon the damn thing!" Ursula panickily yells at the pinkette.
"Don't call me a brat, old lady!" Zoe yells back at her.
"Don't call me an old lady, brat!"
"Stop fighting! You're ruining this family!" Francis suddenly cries out at the two.
The two females stopped their bickering and gave the teen an odd look as he suddenly realized what he had just said, feeling a bit awkward of the situation. "Wha-"
"JUST USE THE CARD!" Zander yells at the group as the Argentinosaurus roars in the background.
"Big Foot Assault!" Zoe cries out as she activates the move card.
Paris roared in the air as she summoned the Seismosaurus as purple lightning struck the ground while the giant sauropod spawned into the air. "WOAH! WOAH! WOAH! WOAH! WOAH! WOAH!" Francis screams as he points to the giant dinosaur.
The Seismosaurus crash landed on the ground and gave a loud bellow, signaling it's arrival as it immediately spotted its opponent. The Argentinosaurus roared at the Seismosaurus as both teams now had a size advantage against the giant dinosaur. "Even though we have the Seismosaurus on our side now, we should still attack the Argentinosaurus for added help." Rex suggests to the group.
"Sounds like a top idea!" Ed exclaims enthusiastically.
The Seismosaurus roared before biting down onto the Argentinosaurus' long neck, earning a pained grunt from the giant titan before retaliating. The retaliation was in the form of a tail to the Seismosaurus' face, successfully unlatching itself from the Argentinosaurus as it roared in pain. The Shadow Dinosaur suddenly smacked its head against the Seismosaurus' neck, causing it to falter a bit as it backed up into several trees, completely destroying them as the Argentinosaurus roared in rage at the sauropod.
"Aqua Javelin!"
Spiny roared before summoning several javelins made completely out of water that were shot towards the Argentinosaurus, striking it directly causing it to bellow in pain. Down below, Pachy, Terry, and Chomp were trying to at least knock the beast down by taking out each of it's legs, with Pachy headbutting one leg, Chomp ramming the other, and Terry using his massive bite force on the third leg. Even Tank joined in as she slammed her clubbed tail onto the fourth leg. However, all this attacking only pissed the Argentinosaurus off more as it roared out in rage before momentarily standing on it's hind legs, preparing to slam it's forelegs to the ground.
"Look out! It's about to slam down!" Rex warns the others.
The four dinosaurs quickly ran away as the Argentinosaurus slammed it's legs onto the ground, creating yet another shockwave that destroyed several trees while also damaging the dinosaurs even more. "Zoe! We need healing!" Max begs the pinkette.
"I'm on it! Nature's Blessing!"
Paris shot out a healing ball of green energy that instantly turned into magical leaves, shooting her healing energy to her teammates as they all glowed green and were quickly reenergized. "Fusion move time! Let's go!" Rex calls out as he grabs a move card.
"Let's knock this bad boy down!" Zander yells as he too grabs a move card.
"Hydro Tornado!"
Spiny used Aqua Vortex on Ace while he used Cyclone, the two moves fusing together to create a huge tornado made completely out of water, which Ace had full control of as he started to charge his way to the Argentinosaurus. "Now it's our turn!" Max and Ed yell out as they too used a fusion move.
"Electric Spikes!"
Tank fired off her Spike Arrows while Chomp supercharged them with his Lightning Strike, the purple arrows turning electric yellow as they shot towards the giant dinosaur. "I don't know how to do a fusion move so I'll just do this instead! Laser Ray!"
Francis had Pachy used it's super move as all three moves flew towards the giant sauropod before they all striked it all at once, earning a loud, painful roar from the dinosaur as the Seismosaurus slammed it's head against it's torso, causing it to falter a bit. Pissed off at the attack, the Argentinosaurus roared out in seething rage before charging up a Shadow Mortar attack, releasing the attack as Shadow Mortars were fired high in the air. "Ed!" Zoe warns the fat man.
"I'm on it! Earth Barrier!"
Once again, Tank summoned several purple crystals that surrounded the seven dinosaurs, forming a protective shield around them as the Shadow Mortars bounced off of it, reflecting it directly back at the Argentinosaurus. The Seismosaurus wasn't as lucky though as it took the majority of the attack due to it's size and because of how powerful the attack was, it was enough to turn the sauropod into a card. "There goes Seismosaurus." Zoe solemnly says as the Earth Barrier disappeared.
"Let's avenge it with another super fusion move." Rex says, trying to make her feel better.
"Now we're talking!" Ursula cheers as they all once more did a fusion move.
"Super Fusion Move!" they all cry out as they unleashed their attacks all at once.
The seven elemental beams of energy collided with one another yet again, forming a massive rainbow beam that struck the Argentinosaurus once more, dealing more damage to it as it cried out in pain. This time however, the Argentinosaurus began to show some form of weakness and fatigue, evident from its massive panting as it desperately tried to escape.
"It's almost done! It's almost out of energy!" Zander announces as he points to the massive dinosaur.
"One more attack should do it." Rex adds.
The Argentinosaurus knocked over several trees before charging up a Shadow Fire attack, spewing the flames out of it's mouth directly at the floor below, this time causing a massive fire that easily spread across a wide area. "Oh great! We have a forest fire now!" Max complains in anger.
"Smokey isn't gonna like this one bit." Ed murmurs in sadness.
"Have Spiny and Tank douse the flames like last time!" Rex orders the two.
"Good idea." Zander agrees as he and Ed grab their move cards.
"Shockwave!"
"Go, Mole Attack!"
Spiny threw out a turret of water that instantly doused the flames as Tank dug several holes in the fire, the dirt also extinguishing the flames in a matter of seconds, once more clearing a path for our heroes. The group quickly ran towards the fleeing Argentinosaurus, which was now cornered as it had accidentally ran towards the edge of a high cliff. Now the giant sauropod was desperate and extremely low on energy, and a cornered animal is the most dangerous kind, especially when they have superpowers and are physically altered. The Shadow Dinosaur suddenly unleashed every attack it had as it momentarily stood up on it's hind legs while charging up it's Shadow Mortar and Shadow Fire attacks.
"Look out!" Rex warns everyone as they all take cover.
The Argentinosaurus slammed it's forelegs onto the ground while simultaneously firing it's Shadow Mortar attack, resulting in a shockwave that shook the ground as Shadow Mortars rained down from the sky. The shockwave knocked everyone to the ground while leaving them vulnerable to the Shadow Mortars; every single dinosaur was pelted by the attack, leaving them critically wounded as the Argentinosaurus fired it's Shadow Fire towards them. Because they were vulnerable once again, the Shadow Fire set the dinosaurs ablaze as they all roared out in immense pain, though they still held on and were still able to fight.
"Our dinos are losing energy! We need to use another fusion move now!" Zander panickily cries out.
The Argentinosaurus suddenly began to charge up another Shadow Fire attack as dark flames ignited in it's mouth, presenting the group it's weak point. "Guys! It's mouth!" Rex points out. "Like the Carcharodontosaurus! Attack it's mouth while it's charging it's attack! Hurry before it finishes! One more time!"
"LET'S DO IT!" everyone shouts as they all use their attacks all at once. "SUPER FUSION MOVE!"
"LIGHTNING STRIKE!"
"SONIC BLAST!"
"EMERALD GARDEN!"
"MAGMA BLASTER!"
"AQUA JAVELIN!"
"SPIKE ARROWS!"
"LASER RAY!"
All seven dinosaurs fired their most powerful attacks as the seven beams turned into a huge rainbow elemental beam that was shot towards the Argentinosaurus, whom at the same time fired it's Shadow Fire attack. The two attacks collided with each other and were momentarily at a stalemate until the fusion move broke through the Shadow Fire attack like it was wet paper. The fusion move struck the Argentinosaurus directly in it's mouth, dealing massive critical damage to the giant sauropod.
The Argentinosaurus suddenly began to cough violently as it's entire body began to emit dark smoke while it attempted to flee; as it fled away, it's hide suddenly began to crack as beams of light escaped from the cracks while the Argentinosaurus continued to bellow in immense pain. It suddenly lost all feeling in it's legs as it's entire body went numb, causing it to fall to the ground as it's hide continued to crack some more while smoke continued to radiate from it's body. Finally, after one final roar of defiance, the Argentinosaurus suddenly exploded on the spot, causing a massive shockwave to be emitted from it as it shook the trees… and finally ended the battle.
Everyone covered their eyes due to the explosion and when they finally opened them, they saw that the sky had returned to normal and that the Argentinosaurus was no more., not even it's card remained. For the first time since Seth's Black T-Rex, a dinosaur was completely destroyed with no remnants of it's card at all, yet at the same time, due to it being an untamable monstrosity, this was for the best for both the D-Team and Alpha Gang as well as the world itself.
"AW YEAH!" everyone cheers as they all leap in the air in triumph.
Ever since his rescue from the Grand Master's clutches, Mr. Mills has been introduced to other members of the D-Team, having never met Spike or Reese or seen the D-Lab in person. Dr. Ancient thought it would've been a good idea for Reese to help fill him in on the various changes to their lives starting with the D-Lab, as she was leading a tour of the lab along with Spike.
"And this is the main area." Reese concludes the tour as she, Mr. Mills and Spike enter said area.
Mr. Mills took a quick glance at the area, taking note of the giant hologram thing in the middle along with the D-Lab's new supercomputer, which had the D-Team logo bouncing on the screen.
It didn't hit the corner unfortunately.
"Place seems cozy." he states, feeling the marble table. "Still can't believe you guys have a pool in the shape of a plesiosaur."
"That was my idea!" Spike enthusiastically exclaims with an excited grin.
Mr. Mills gave an indifferent reaction to Spike's enthusiasm. "Rrrrrrrriiiiiiiiight." he says awkwardly.
At that moment, W.E.S.L.E.Y.'s dumb grin suddenly appeared on the D-Lab's supercomputer. ~Enemy detected. Prepared to get sodomized.~
"What da hell?" Mr. Mills raises an eyebrow at the A.I..
"Oh, don't mind him." Reese replies as she turns off the computer. "He's just a defective A.I. Ed programmed that I have no way of deleting. He usually comes off as… well… He's a bit of a douche.
"I can tell." Mr. Mills agrees.
"But, he does provide us accurate information regarding dinosaurs… and various other topics as well. He really likes the idea of the Southern States rising back to power again… and arming them with giant mosquitos armed with laser guided missiles."
Needless to say, the scientist was left bewildered at this information. "What?" was all he could mutter.
The moment was suddenly interrupted when the D-Lab's teleporter powered up as the two teams teleported back into the lab, and as soon as they did Francis puked all over the floor next to them. "Dude! Are you serious?" Max scolds the teen.
"Sorry." Francis groans in disgust.
Max scoffed and rolled his eyes in response. "Tch. Amateur." he mumbles.
"How was the mission?" Reese asks the group.
"We fought an Argentinosaurus!" Ed excitedly exclaims.
As soon as he did, he caught the attention of Mr. Mills whom was admiring the giant hologram in the middle of the room. "An Argentinosaurus?!" Spike shockingly exclaims. "That's the largest dinosaur that has ever walked the earth! Did you get its card?"
"We couldn't." Rex replies. "It never turned into a card. It just exploded."
"It exploded?" Reese asks as she approaches the group. "That's a first time that has ever happened. Even if it's not a normal element."
"Well, I mean the Black T-Rex exploded as well." Zoe adds as she sits on top of the desk.
"Oh, God. My stomach." Francis mumbles in discomfort as he burps loudly.
"I wonder why it exploded in the first place." Max wonders aloud.
"It's cuz I designed them that way." Mr. Mills speaks up.
The group turned to the man with odd looks. "You're telling me you created the Shadow Dinosaurs?" Ursula asks the man with a skeptical look.
"Unfortunately, yeah I did. I was the head researcher on the project." Mr. Mills solemnly answers.
"Why?" Ed asks.
"The uh…" Mr. Mills hung his head low for a brief moment before continuing. "The Grand Master wanted powerful dinosaurs. I engineered them to be stronger, faster, and bigger than their normal forms. The Atrociraptor was our first dinosaur to be tested. Our prototype…" He suddenly grew a disturbed expression shortly afterwards. "It wasn't after it was created how primal and untamable that thing was." he says as the growls and hisses of the Atrociraptor ram through his head like a bad memory.
"The Atrociraptor was turned into a card though. Why didn't the Argentinosaurus turn into one?" Zoe asks the man.
"After the Atrociraptor was deemed a failure, I engineered the rest of the cards to be automatically destroyed when defeated in battle… For safety purposes. I had to really fight with the Grand Master on that decision."
"The rest? There are others?" Rex asks him.
Mr. Mills nodded his head in response as a grim look appeared on his face. "How many?" Reese asks him.
"Including the Argentinosaurus there are four other cards. Each more powerful than the previous one and each with their own unique abilities." Mr. Mills replies. "There's the Argentinosaurus, obviously. The rest are… the Mosasaurus… Quetzalcoatlus, and two Gigantoraptors."
"Two? You mean there are two dinosaurs in one card." Zoe asks him in shock.
Once again, Mr. Mills nodded his head. "That's right." he answers. "Believe me, I didn't want to create the cards but I couldn't defy the Grand Master… I would die first."
"How did you create them?" Spike asks the man.
"The Grand Master had this… glowing black rock or marble or whatever. About the size of a baseball, maybe even a little larger." As soon as he described the object, the D-Team and Alpha Gang grew extremely shocked looks as memories of the past flew through their heads. "I think he called it the uh-"
"The Cosmos Stone." Rex mumbles in horror.
Mr. Mills grew confused when he beat him to the punch. "Y- Yeah. How did you know?" he asks the teen.
"Let's just say we went through a lot of trouble to try and not let the Space Pirates get their hands on them from destroying the universe." Zoe annoyingly says as she remembers the events of the past.
"The Space Pirates? You mean those multicolored winged… things?"
"Exactly." Zander confirms.
"I thought the female one was a succubus." Mr. Mills mumbles.
"What's a succubus?" Rex suddenly asks.
Mr. Mills grew an awkward look in response, not knowing how to properly answer the question for him. "Uh-"
"It's not important, Rex." Max interrupts him, beating him to the punch.
Rex shrugged in response. "Alright, if you say so." he replies nonchalantly.
It was Reese's turn for questions. "How did you use the Cosmos Stone to create the cards?" she asks him.
Mr. Mills blew a sigh as he ran his fingers through his hair. "Fffffffoooooooo. It wasn't easy, I'll tell you that." he replies. "First I had to use protective gear to protect myself from the Stone's power. Simple gloves and clothing that didn't expose a single millimeter of skin. Then I harnessed the Stone's power and fused it with that of the dinosaur card which took several hours alone for just one card. That Stone, it appeared to have limitless power so I had ample amount of energy and if it wasn't for you guys intervening, I'm sure the Grand Master would've had me make dozens, if not hundreds of more cards like that… I'm just glad I stopped at four."
"By the sounds of your description, it sounds like the Grand Master has his hands on the Black Cosmos Stone." Rex theorizes. "But how did he get his hands on it in the first place?"
"More importantly, how were you able to create the cards?" Ursula asks the man. "The Ancients used the Backland to travel back to the dinosaur age to convert them into cards. How did you?"
"Same way. We used the Backland." Mr. Mills answers. "I assumed it was you guys until he and Seth showed their faces and forced me to join them. From there we traveled back to the dinosaur age and converted those five… well technically six dinosaurs into cards and, well you know the rest."
The group remained silent as they all processed the new information they were just given, unveiling more answers to their mystery on who the Grand Master is and what his plan is. "My parents are gonna wanna hear this." Rex states aloud.
"Yeah, I've been uh… I've been working up the guts to tell them I'm partly responsible for everything." Mr. Mills
"My mom and dad are very understanding people. If they could give Dr. Z a second chance, you should be no problem given how you were forced to do all that."
Mr. Mills warmly smiled in return. "Thanks, Rex." he says.
It was then Francis spoke up, interrupting everything. "I hate to be that guy, but I need to lay down. You mind if I head back home and rest?" he asks the group in a nauseating state.
"Holy crap. I forgot you were even here." Max says to his love rival.
"I've been in and out ever since you guys first mentioned the Argentinosaurus. I don't think I'm ever gonna get used to this whole teleportation thing." Francis says as he holds in a barf.
Ed and Zander suddenly wrapped their arms around him. "Don't worry, Frankie." Zander says to the teen. "Stick by us and you'll be a top member of the Alpha Gang in no time!"
"Yeah! We'll watch your back!" Ed adds to this.
"Thanks." Francis says to the two with a warm smile.
Max just continued to glare at the teen until Zoe suddenly stepped right next to him. "See, Max." she says to him. "If the Alpha Gang can treat Francis like a human being, you should too."
Max let out an annoyed grumble in response.
BLACK EAGLE'S HEADQUARTERS
SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDWEST
Three figures walked in a dark corridor, their marching shoes echoing in the hallway as they approached a closed door at the end of it, which was their destination. The door opened, revealing the three figures to be Wrench, Blaise, and McCallum, whom all stepped inside the room which was also revealed to be an office with none other than the Fist behind his desk, currently looking out a window, his back turned towards them.
"You wanted to see us, sir?" Commander Blaise asks as she stands tall, a second hand nature due to her military background.
The Fist, Nash Sullivan, took a quick puff from his Cuban cigar, blowing the smoke in the air as he kept his back to his colleagues. "Do you know what causes war?" he asks them. Needless to say, the three were caught off guard by the sudden question they didn't have an answer to, glancing at each other to see if they had an answer, to which they didn't. "Fear." he answers. "But you want to know the one true thing about war? It's that it's never the rich's problem. Always sending out the poor to do their dirty work. Fighting a useless battle that will mean nothing in five years. Countless souls perished for no reason. Blood spilled on foreign soil… My blood… on their hands."
The Fist took one more puff from his cigar as he continued to stare out the window, what he was looking at was unknown. "Soldiers are meant to be protectors, heroes… not cannon fodder." he continues. "They are worthy of a hero's death, not to be put down like some stray dog. But the one thing they always leave out in the media… is that they never drop the name of the people responsible for the death of our heroes. Not Osama Bin Laden, not Al-Qaeda, not North Korea. The real enemy are the people among us, hiding in plain sight, using their own people as pawns in a war they created yet they have no intention of understanding. The human mind is a complicated subject that not even the smartest man on earth can fully understand. But the one thing that ties us all together, whether our morals are good or evil… is that when we're attacked… we fight back."
The three were left speechless at what their superior had just said, not knowing why he was talking about war all of a sudden when they had just walked in. "S-Sir." McCallum suddenly speaks up.
The Fist finally turned around to face his colleagues, taking yet another quick puff from his cigar. "As you know," he begins. "several weeks ago, we had lost our desert headquarters by the Grand Master as well as those kids stationed in Japan. We had retaliated against the Grand Master but we have yet to retaliate against the team… the D-Team. As you know, our goal is to obtain as many dinosaurs that appear on this planet so we could fit them with arsenal… so we can save millions of American lives… The D-Team has the majority of the cards."
"So… You want us to steal them back?" Wrench asks the man.
"No." the Fist coldly responds. "Instead… I have hired another specialist in the paleontology field to help even the odds against both the Grand Master and the D-Team… McCallum, you are well acquainted with him."
Mr. McCallum raised a confused brow in response. "I am?" he asks.
The Fist gesture for the person to enter the room, whom was waiting outside the door. "Come on in." he says.
The person opened the door and stepped into the office, revealing himself while also stunning Mr. McCallum in the process. The person was revealed to be Chase Willaims, whom had an apathetic yet depressed expression on his face as he wore a jacket fitted with a patch bearing the Black Eagle's symbol on his left arm sleeve. "Mr. Williams will be helping us in the future regarding any dinosaur topic and will even attend any capturing of said dinosaur. I hope you are fine with this, Mr. McCallum."
"Yeah." Mr. McCallum replies, albeit half listening as he was too stunned by Chase's sudden appearance. "Yeah, I'm… I'm fine."
"The future is up to us… to Black Eagle… To right the wrongs… and pave the way for a better future." The Fist then took yet another puff from his cigar. "No matter the consequences."
Chase suddenly grew an angry glare, his depressed expression disappearing, now ready to work with Black Eagle and also pay off his debt to both society… as well as other interior motives. Motives only he knew about.
Black Eagle gained another member and because of it… became a little more dangerous to the D-Team. As if fighting two enemy factions were bad enough. Things just got more complicated for everyone involved in this madness.
