In the city of Olé in Brazil, a huge parade was taking place. Many people had brightly colored floats and clothes and danced across the street while others watched. The event was also being recorded and broadcasted around the world. "You can feel the excitement in Brazil as the Olé Festival shifts into high gear." The Anchorwoman said as the camera panned from the screen to her. "But it's the main event that has fans anxiously awaiting. And that's the festival's Olé Cup soccer match. This international tournament began with 32 teams, but only one will emerge from the finals as the world champion of soccer." She said as various photos of the stadium and people cheering were shown.
Back in Brazil, while everyone in town cheered with excitement, far in the outskirts of the city, a capsule fell into a bush and activated the card. The Dinosaur was an Ornithopod, but lacking a duckbill so it wasn't a Hadrosaur, instead being a type from the Iguanodont group. It had a grey body, with greyish-green spots all over. On both of its arms were spikes where the thumbs would be. But the main feature was a large, yellow nose. This Dinosaur was an Altirhinus.
(Intro Theme)
At the Taylor Household, Max and Rex's groups were all watching the soccer match on TV. "We're just minutes away from kickoff at the Olé Cup finals." A male news reporter said. "And the stadium is packed with fans from both teams. Who will take home the trophy?" He asked. "Will it be the local champions, Team Olé, or the powerful Euro FC? It could come down to a battle between these two superstars, Ricardo and Deckham." When he finished, images of both players appeared on screen.
"Probably Euro, don't you think?" Rex asked his partners, all three of them sitting on the couch.
"They have been having a good record all season." Ace replied. "So I think it's highly likely."
Before Tank could add her thoughts, Max interrupted. "You eggheads got it all wrong! Euro's gonna lose big time. Olé's gonna clobber 'em." He was currently outside, bouncing a soccer ball on his knees. "I bet Ricardo gets ten goals."
"That's two more than what I bet." Chomp added.
"Right, Ricardo." Rex said with an all-knowing smile. "I guess I must have forgotten what a big Ricardo fan you are, Max."
"I'm his biggest fan!" The brunette corrected. "Did you know he trains at home by playing soccer with his dog? So if I practise playing with Chomp and Terry, maybe I'll be twice as good as Ricardo someday."
"We'll see about that!" Terry said as he swiped the ball from Max and began dribbling it away with a mixture of his head and kicking.
"Hey! That's a foul!" Max said as he ran after the Tyrannosaurus. "Get back here!"
"Chomp, catch!" Using his head, Terry passed the ball to the Triceratops, who stopped it with his feet before putting it in his mouth and popped it. "You're not supposed to use your mouth!" The Tyrannosaurus yelled at him.
"You know I can't help but bite into things!" Chomp replied in defence.
"I guess practice is over." Max sighed as he picked up the flattened ball.
"Looks like Ricardo won't be worrying anytime soon." Tank joked as the TV switched from talking about Ricardo to Deckham.
"Ooh! Deckham is on!" Zoe screamed as she and her team ran into the room and sat right in front of the TV. "Wow! How cool is he?! I don't know who started calling him the Prince of Europe, but they couldn't be more right!" She fangirled.
"I didn't know you were such a soccer fan, Zoe." Rex told her.
"It's really only when Deckham is playing." Paris explained.
"Of course." Zoe added. "I bet he's gonna score the winning goal today, too." She fantasised.
"I'm into soccer too." Rhysa said as she entered the room. "But I'm more impressed with the skills and not the looks."
"Rhysa's right, if your skills are lacking than your whole team's doomed." Tracker said. "Common knowledge really."
"What?!" Max exclaimed as he entered the room. "No way! Team Olé's gonna win today because Ricardo's gonna make sure of it!"
"Dream on, Max. Navin Deckham has it won." Zoe told him, unintimidated by his claims. "He's the best player in the whole world. Not to mention he's totally hot, but that goes without saying." She gushed, putting a hand to her ear.
"It takes more than great looks to become a great soccer player. And there's no possible way a pretty boy like Navin Deckham is taking home the Olé Cup." Max retorted.
"Sounds to me like you're jealous, Max." Zoe glared back at him.
"I am not!"
Zoe's expression then softened into a more smug one "But, I can understand why. Not everyone can be both an amazing athlete and super cute at the same time, you know? Stop being so hard on yourself." She teased.
"This isn't about me! Ricardo and Olé are better!" Max stomped his foot on the floor in frustration.
"We'll find out soon, right?" She shrugged smugly
"We don't need to find out! Augh! Why won't you just admit that Olé is the best?!" Max yelled while throwing his head back, getting really frustrated with Zoe's worship of Deckham.
"Because they don't have Deckham." Zoe sighed happily.
Rex and the others watched the banter between the two in silence. Well, except for Chomp and Terry, who were outside having a tug of war over what was left of the ball, and Spiny, who chanted. "Pull! Pull! Pull! Pull!" It was then the Dino Holder started beeping. "Pull?"
"The Dino Holder!" Stiggy and Stigga gasped.
DK
Once they were at the D-Lab, Reese and Dora were able to pinpoint the Dinosaur's location. "Where'd the Dinosaur appear, Reese?" Max asked.
"South America." She replied. "Near the town of Olé."
"That's in Brazil." Dora said.
"Olé?" Everyone gasped in surprise, minus Zoe who looked more excited.
"I remember Olé." Spike told them. "One spring break I went there for the festival." He then pulled out two maracas and shook them. "Boom, shaka, laka, la!"
"So did we." Diego said, remembering their trip. "We danced all night as the parade went on!"
"That festival's going on now!" Max exclaimed at his father.
"Which can only lead to one thing!" Rhysa exclaimed to her other two Cousins.
"What if the Dinosaur hurts Navin Deckham?!" Zoe asked in horror.
"Or anyone else." Spiny added casually.
"You mean the soccer player?" Reese asked, her attention suddenly peaked, which rarely happened.
"That's right." Spike realised. "There are thousands of people there for the festival and the soccer game. A huge panic over a Dinosaur could cause a lot of injuries."
"Then we'd better get over there and rescue it!" Giganto said, racing to the platform.
"Let's get going then." Rex said as he led the others onto the platform.
"Good luck. Enjoy the parade, kids." Spike said as they teleported away.
"And have fun!" Rhysa's Cousins said.
Once they were gone, Reese pulled a tiny picture of Deckham out of her lab coat. "Navin Deckham. What a babe."
"Huh?" Spike asked in confusion that her attitude changed from normal, making Reese blush in embarrassment as she hid the card back in her coat.

In Brazil, the Hybro Gang was already there and were currently dressed up as sphinxes and an Egyptian queen in the parade. "Why are we doing this?" Slander asked Cursula. "I don't see any Dinosaur in this parade."
"Neither do I. And this costume's starting to itch." Tred added.
"Quiet. You're supposed to be guard Dogs, and Dogs don't talk." Cursula hissed.
"We're not Dogs, we're Sphinxes. Which are half-Lions, not Dogs." Slander corrected.
"Well you're smarter than we thought Slander." White Slash grumbled, in her Crocodile costume.
"That's great. I have one half-Lion and the other half-clown working with me. Maybe if you had half a brain, you could help me find that Dinosaur." Cursula shouted.
"But I do have half a brain." Tred told her. "And anyway, how are we supposed to see it in this giant crowd?"
"Hey! Maybe if we climb up on that Gorilla float, we'll have a better view?" Slander suggested as he pointed to the float.
"That's actually a good idea." Cursula admitted. "Onward and upward!"
"To the Gorilla float!" The Hybrids called.
"And we're off!" Slander and Tred said, about to run to the float, before Cursula whacked them on the head with her staff.
"Wait! Stay in character. Keep dancing." She hissed. The trio and Hybrids hummed a conga tune as they went over to the Gorilla float. "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha."
On another side of the parade, the D-Team were watching the floats and dancers pass by. "This crowd is huge." Paris said, slightly uncomfortable at the huge amount of people present.
"I can see why. It's an awesome parade." Terry replied, oblivious to her worry.
"It's gonna be hard trying to find the Dinosaur in this big crowd." Dread said. "I can barely even see the other side of the street."
They all then heard the noise of people screaming. "What's all that about?" Max asked as he looked to where the screaming came from. Expecting to see the crowd getting eaten, chased, or trampled by a Dinosaur, he instead saw a bus with people near an open window repeatedly chanting 'Ricardo'. "Is that Ricardo?" He asked as he squinted to get a better look. Sure enough, Ricardo was out signing autographs before his big game. "It is him! I don't believe it! Team Olé! Yay!" He cheered as he ran to get an autograph.
"Wait. Hold on, Max!" Chomp and Terry said as they ran after him.
"Max! Come back!" Tracker called. "We've got a mission to focus on!"
"Forget it. He's obviously already forgotten what it is we even came here for." Rex said to himself. "Right, Zoe. Uh, Zoe?" Rex asked as he noticed her making weird eyes.
"It's really him! He's even cuter in person!" She gushed as she saw a bus with Deckham pass. "Deckham! Over here Deckham!" She ran over to the bus, her team in pursuit, and pushed herself to the front. "Excuse me! Excuse me!" She eventually made it to where she was face to face with him. "I'm your biggest fan in the whole universe." She told him with a huge blush on her face. "Could I have your autograph, Mr. Deckham, please?"
"You're awesome!" Spiny shouted, though Deckham couldn't see him through all the people.
"Where do I sign?" The soccer player asked Zoe.
"Uh, uh!" Zoe frantically looked around when she noticed she didn't have any paper on her before finding a perfect substitute. "On her!" She said as she held up Paris to him.
"Huh?" Both Deckham and Paris said at the same time.
"That's perfect." Rex muttered to those remaining. "They've both forgotten why we came here."
"It's to ruin the soccer game, right?" Spiny asked, rejoining them.
"No, but we'll probably end up doing that anyway." Tank replied sarcastically, knowing how these things go.
"And we still haven't found the Dinosaur." Rhysa said.
Then heavy footsteps were both heard and felt, snapping Max and Zoe both out of their fan-crazes and regrouping with the rest. On the Gorilla float, the Hybro Gang was on top looking for the Dinosaur. Well, Cursula was currently stuck in one of the Gorilla's arms. "Ow! Let me go! Stop it! Put me down you big Ape!" She whined as she struggled in the Gorilla's grasp. "Didn't you see the movie? You're supposed to love the beautiful woman, not crush her into jelly."
"Too easy?" Slander asked Tred when they heard Cursula's last comment.
"Too easy." Tred replied.
"Hey, Tred. If this thing's on wheels, what's making those loud footsteps?" Slander asked, feeling the footsteps.
"A miniature earthquake?" Horn Plate asked.
"I've got a pretty good guess. Cursula, behind you!" Tred exclaimed when he saw what was responsible.
Cursula turned around and saw herself face to face with the Altirhinus. The Herbivore roared before tearing apart the Gorilla float with the swing of his head from underneath, sending the Hybro Gang high into the air and the crowd into a panic.
"Whoa! Is that an Iguanodon?" Zoe asked when they saw the Dinosaur.
"No. With that big nose, that's got to be an Altirhinus." Ace corrected her identification.
"You're right Ace!" Rhysa gasped. "Palaeontologists theorised that Altirhinus had those big noses to attract a mate or for defending themselves."
Seeing the float was destroyed, the Altirhinus decided to leave and look for something else to do. "Let's get him." Terry said.
"Right." The others replied as they ran after it.
DK
The Altirhinus continued searching until he stumbled upon a truck carrying melons. The truck driver and everyone else in the marketplace ran for their lives the Altirhinus started eating the melons. "There he is!" Terry said as he led the others to the Dinosaur.
"That's right. Altirhinus were Herbivores." Max said.
"Looks like this one was starving." Rex commented.
"You'd be hungry too if you were in a card for possibly years." Tank replied.
"I know I can relate." Chomp joked.
"Never mind that. He's gonna wipe out the whole marketplace." Zoe said.
"Ace, let's take care of this." Rex told the Carnotaurus before recalling him.
"DINO SLASH! CARNOTAURUS, BLOW HIM AWAY!"
Ace landed and immediately knocked the Altirhinus down with a tackle, also knocking the truck away. The Carnotaurus roared before charging forward for another attack. But the Altirhinus got back up and hit the Carnotaurus in the face with his tail before doing it again and knocked him down. "Ace! Get up, pal!" Rex told him.
The Altirhinus went in for the finishing blow, but Ace bumped heads with him before hitting him with his tail and starting to push him back. "All right!" Max cheered.
"Yeah! Keep it coming, Ace!" Rex supported.
"Keep that up and we'll save the Altirhinus in no time!" Brontina cheered.
Sadly the fight attracted unwanted attention. "I'll take over from here."
Everyone turned to see who said that. "It's the Hybro Gang!" Paris exclaimed worryingly. Cursula pulled out a Scanner and got a Card ready.
"GO GET 'EM, MAXIMUS! SHOW 'EM HOW IT'S REALLY DONE!"
Maximus appeared and leapt over the D-Team to where the fight was, all of them gasping at her jumping power. "Wow!"
She landed right behind Ace and knocked him away from her main target with a swing from her horns. "Nothing personal." She said to the Carnotaurus, even though that was probably a lie.
"Hey! Old lady, we were here first!" Zoe yelled at Cursula for interrupting their fight.
"Augh! You'll pay for saying that!" Cursula told her. "Maximus, forget about the Dinosaur, and go crush that snot-nosed girl!" She ordered the Triceratops.
"But, the Dinosaur?" Slander reminded her.
"Yeah, what if Dr.N finds out?" Tred asked.
"Yeah, 'cause I think he's still pretty ticked off at you three for losing his Alpha Acrocanthosaurus from last time." Tregear shuddered. "Do you really want to get on his much worse side?"
"All right, fine!" Cursula gave in, not wanting to face Dr.N's wrath. "Get the Dinosaur first. Then go pummel the pipsqueak."
"Already on it." Maximus replied before she grabbed onto Ace's tail before he could attack the Altirhinus again.
"Let me go!" Ace struggled, kicked her in the face with her feet.
"She's got Ace!" Dread cried.
"We'll have to defeat Maximus before we can go after Altirhinus, Ace!" Rex told him.
Ace nodded and continued kicking until Maximus let go. He leapt in front of her and the two of them then met in a headlock. "Hang in there, Ace! Come on!" Zoe urged.
"All right. This has gone on long enough." Cursula said. "Hurry up. Use her Move Card, Slander." Cursula told the tall man, who had the scanner now.
"Here it goes! Spectral Punisher!"
Large crystals formed on Maximus' Horns before she fired at Ace, scrapping many buildings to reach her target. The Carnotaurus ran as fast as he could to get away before finally doing a backflip over the laser. "What?!" The whole Hybro Gang gasped.
"Incredible!" Rhysa awed.
"Whoa. That was a dodge." Max said in shock.
"That was nothing." Ace told them. "Rex, now!"
"You got it!" Rex said as he knew the Move Card Ace wanted. "Ultimate Wind!"
Ace glowed blue before roaring and charging forward. A few seconds later, he leapt into the air and flew like a missile. He continued flying 'till he collided with Maximus in an explosion of wind and stopped behind her. The Triceratops collapsed and returned to her card. "Way to go!" The D-Team cheered.
"Wha?! Aah!" Slander and Tred exclaimed before running to retrieve the card. They haven't seen a Move like that since that combo Max did back at Zeta Point.
"You guys, where'd the Altirhinus go?" Max asked.
"It must've ran away while we were fighting." Ace hypothesised.
"Speaking of which, where's Rhysa and her team?" Spiny asked, looking around.
"They might've gone after the Altirhinus." Zoe said.
"That's just great. Thanks a lot, Hybro Gang!" Tank yelled at them.
"Ha! Well, it was our pleasure." Cursula said smugly as she picked up Maximus' Card. "You know, nothing makes our day quite like ruining yours."
"I think I know how to ruin it worse." Tred said with a smile.
"And we think you're thinking what we're thinking." Screecher and Thudder said.
"And I think I like what you're thinking." Slander told him. "Let's go!" They all said as they ran after the Altirhinus.
"No way. We've got to get to the Dinosaur before they do." Max told his teammates.
"Right." They all agreed before running off as well.
In another part of town, the Altirhinus had found the building where the floats were being held. Seeing this as a great place to crash after the meal and fight, he laid on the floor and went to sleep.

Meanwhile along the parade route Rhysa and her team were looking for the Dinosaur.
"I still can't see anything." Dread said, looking around.
"What we need is more height advantage." Tracker said.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Brontina asked Rhysa.
"I think I am." Rhysa said, before she and her team ran into a warehouse and Rhysa got her Dino Holder out.
"DINO SLASH! BRACHIOSAURUS! LET'S GO!"
Soon Brontina showed up full-sized in the warehouse, and was surprisingly big enough for her to fit without destroying it.
"Great, now we can see better on Brontina's head." Giganto said.
"Wait guys!" Tracker said. "The parade's already been in panic by one Dinosaur interrupting it. If the crowd sees Brontina, then they'll panic and run again."
"You're right Tracker." Dread said. "We've gotta think of a way for Brontina to blend in with the parade and look for the Altirhinus at the same time."
"What are we gonna do without the Gorilla float?" The person in-charge of the parade asked, one of the people that created the parade floats. "It's one of our biggest attractions at the carnival."
"There's no time for us to make a new one either." The parade float manager said. "I'm afraid we'll have to think of something else."
"Um, excuse me." Rhysa said, as she approached them. "I'm sorry for sneaking into your warehouse but I think I can help you guys out."
"Really?" The Parade Manager asked. "How can you help us?"
"Well I got a Lizard that accidentally grew very large." Rhysa said, as Brontina's head came to her side. "She really likes the parade floats and she's very friendly, maybe she can be the new parade float."
The two men looked at Brontina and saw that she was the same size as the Gorilla float.
"It could work." The Parade Manager said. "But can we make her look a little more colourful?"
"Sure you can." Rhysa said, and then whispered to Brontina. "Don't worry Brontina, it's only for one night, and think of the smiles on the kids' faces."
"Okay, I'll do it." Brontina agreed.
"Let's get to work girls!" The Float Manager called to a bunch of decorating girls. "We've gotta get this Lizard look like a festive float and have this young lady in a great costume!"
"Sure you can get me in a-" Rhysa said, until she realised what she heard. "Say what now?"
DK
"So, Max, tell me again why you think we should head to the stadium to look for it?" Rex asked the brunette.
"Because that's where the game is gonna be. So, of course, that's where Altirhinus is gonna go, too." Max replied.
"What?" Terry asked. "Why would he care about that?"
"I don't think Dinosaurs watch soccer, especially wild ones. Don't you think he'd probably go look for food in the mountains or something?" Rex asked.
"Nope. There's food at the game." Max told him.
"Right. I'm sure he'll love nachos." The blonde replied sarcastically.
Chomp stopped mid-step when he started putting the pieces together. "You're not just taking us there so you can see the game, are you?" He asked Max.
"Whaaaaat? Nooooo! I honestly believe the Dinosaur would want to go and see the game himself!" Max retorted, obviously doing a bad job sounding like he was not lying. Everyone rolled their eyes as they continued.
"Heads up!" Someone said as a ball rolled towards them. Chomp stopped the ball with his horns and rolled the ball back to them. "Hey, look, he's pretty good." The boy who kicked the ball told them.
Chomp tried to bite the ball to see if this one was more stable than their own before Max stopped him. "Don't bite that, Chomp." Max hissed as he scooped him up. "Sorry about that. He'll chomp down on anything. Here you go." He said as he kicked the ball over a fence to the other side, where a group of kids were playing their own game of soccer.
"Nice kick." The boy said as he caught the ball. "Why don't you come over and play with us for a while?"
"That'd be awesome. It's gonna feel like I'm practically playing in the Olé Cup myself." Max said with a smile. "Count me in!"
"Time out, Max." Rex pulled him back by the hood. "Do you even remember what we're here for? We still haven't found that Altirhinus." He reminded him.
"That's probably because he's asleep somewhere. After he wakes up, we'll find him easily."
"Uh..."
"So, let's play!" Max said as he ran to the game.
"Don't forget me. I'll play midfield!" Zoe said as she joined him.
"Guess that means I'm goalie again." Rex sighed as he joined them, knowing it was going to end badly for him.
DK
Back with Rhysa and her team they were already in the parade on top of Brontina. "Olé everyone!" Rhysa called, her normal outfit had been replaced with a pink poofy princess dress with matching stockings, high heels and gloves, she had a bracelet with red rubies and purple sapphires on her right wrist and a necklace with a turquoise emerald on it around her neck, her hair had been styled in a ponytail with a magenta hair ribbon holding it in place and lastly she had a silver tiara on her head. "Olé to you all!"
"This isn't as bad as I thought." Brontina said quietly. She had been decorated with a violet hat on her head, she had pink hearts that had been painted on her going all the way down her neck, she had a podium that had been fastened onto her back so Rhysa could stand as she walked, she had magenta ribbons with lavender bows along her sides, and even had a purple umbrella tied to her tail by a raven coloured bow.
"This has to be one of Rhysa's greatest ideas yet." Tracker said he and the rest of Rhysa's Dinosaurs were on Brontina's hat. "We can see much better from up here."
"If that Altirhinus shows up, Brontina will be out and ready to battle." Giganto said.
"And with these decorations on, no one will think Brontina's real." Dread said. "I hope."
Meanwhile, not too far behind them the Hybro Gang had decided to try searching through the parade once again with a couple of new floats they designed. "Olé, everyone. Olé!" Cursula said as she and the others waved from the top of one of their floats.
"They love our floats." Slander said as he noticed the crowd talking about their float and taking pictures of it.
"Yeah! This was a really great plan, Cursula." Tred praised.
"There's nothing about this that doesn't make me want to kill you all." Armatus muttered. He was the float. Decorated with a pink hat, ribbons going along his side that were wrapped around his plates, and a pink bow with an umbrella on his tail.
"At least you're not the one with the feathers on her plates." Horn Plate mumbled. She had the same decorations as Armatus, but her plates and horns had pink feathers on them.
"Calm down, you two." Cursula told him. "If that Altirhinus shows up, you both will already be out and ready to fight." She reminded him.
"Right, and with a getup like this on, nobody will even guess that you're real." Slander added before chortling.
"But this is so undignified for someone like me." Horn Plate groaned.
"If Maximus sees me like this, I swear to god." Armatus muttered before he was interrupted by a barking Dog. "I don't have time for you!" He roared at it, scaring the Dog off.
"Settle down, Armatus. Take it easy." Cursula said softly to him.
"Down, boy." Slander and Tred replied.
"Hey look up ahead." White Slash gasped. "It's that brat Rhysa and her team!"
"And it looks like they've copied our idea!" Tregear said in fury. "Horn Plate, get that Brachiosaurus!"
"I can't right now." Horn Plate moaned. "I have to stay in character! For now let's just let her be."
"Fine." The rest of the Hybrids groaned.
DK
In the float storage building, a group of men were looking over one of the floats. It was one with a giant grass soccer ball. "I don't get this float." One of the men said.
"What's to get? It's a soccer ball made of grass." Another replied.
"I know, but why is it so big? It doesn't even fit in the goals."
Just then the Altirhinus came out of hiding. "Holy! A Dinosaur! Get back!" The men all ran away while the Altirhinus tore the float apart to reach the grass ball. Once he did, he gave the ball a shove with his nose and rolled it off the float.
DK
Back with the D-Team, the game was reaching its climax. "Great pass!" Zoe complimented her teammate.
"Shoot it, Max!" The boy from earlier said as he passed it to the brunette.
"Here it goes! Gooooal!" Max cheered as he scored a goal.
Rex was unable to do anything except fall onto the ground in a failed attempt to catch the ball. "This is why I play defence." He muffled through the ground.
"That was a lot of fun." Zoe said as they all met up in the middle of the court.
"Great game, you guys." Max told the boy before shaking his hand. "Thanks a lot."
"Thank you, Max."
Off to the side, the Dinosaurs were watching the game. "It's amazing that soccer is the same everywhere." Paris said. "You could play with anyone no matter where in the world they come from."
"And that's why people consider soccer to be the greatest game in the universe." Chomp said.
"And now breaking news." The Anchorwoman said over the TV.
"What's going on?" Rex asked as he and the other kids went to where the TV was.
"A Dinosaur has appeared on the road leading to the stadium where the Olé Cup finals are about to begin."
"See? I told you he'd head for the stadium." Max said smugly to Rex, who just sighed in embarrassment, mostly from the game. "Come on. We've got to hurry up and get there, too." He said before grabbing his socks and shoes, since the game was played barefoot.
DK
Meanwhile back with the parade, the person in charge stepped onto the stage. "First of all, before the announcer announces the winning samba dance team, I'd like to make a special announcement." He called. "As you all know that earlier tonight a Dinosaur showed up and destroyed one of the floats." Some of the crowd started crying when hearing that. "It was very sad that one of our most popular floats was destroyed and I feared that we'd have to cancel the rest of the parade." The audience present gasped when they heard this. "But then right when all hope seemed hopeless, one young girl and her giant Lizard came to our aid. The girl agreed for her Lizard to be part of the parade and it turned out to be a great success! So please give a big greatful round of applause for Rhysa and her giant Lizard named Brontina!"
The crowd roared into cheers as Rhysa (still in her princess outfit) and Brontina (still in her float get up) walked onto the stage, which had enough support to hold Brontina without collapsing.
"Thank you for helping us." The Parade Manager said. "Without you we wouldn't have had such a successful parade."
"It was nothing." Rhysa said. "We're just glad we could help."
"And to show our gratitude we'd like to present you with this." As the Parade Float Manager walked onto the stage with what Rhysa thought looked like a Card Capsule but it was coloured gold. "The golden egg of gratitude." The Parade Manager said. "Only someone who's helped out our town in such a big way is awarded this. So please take good care of it."
"Thank you so much Mr. Parade Manager." Rhysa said.
"Just call me Parader."
"Thank you so much, Parader." Rhysa said, as she accepted the egg, and Parader also placed a flower crown on Brontina's head.
"You're allowed to keep everything we've lent you if you want it." Parader said. "Right Crafter?"
"Yes." The Float Creator named Crafter said. "It's the least we can do."
"Thanks a lot!" Rhysa said. "I've had a lot of fun being in the parade, but we need to get going. My friends will be wondering where I am."
"You'll come back next year won't you Rhysa?" The whole crowd asked. "We really want to see you and your pet Lizard again!"
"Yes, we'll return for next year's parade." Rhysa said. "And that's a promise! But until then keep on festivalling." Rhysa said as she and Brontina started to leave. "Exit stage left!"
Once they were away from the crowd, Rhysa returned Brontina back to her chibi-form, and put the decorations she had on in her bag. "That was fun." Brontina said. "And the best part was that no one suspected that I was a real Dinosaur!"
"Maybe next time Diego, Alicia and Dora can ride on you." Tracker said.
"I think we should get back to finding the Altirhinus now." Dread said. "But we don't even know where he is or where he's hiding."
That's when Rhysa's Dino Holder went off indicating that she's getting a call. Rhysa turned on the screen and saw Diego calling from the D-Lab. "Cousin there you are!" He called. "Alicia, Dora and I've been trying to reach you."
"Sorry Cuz." Rhysa apologised. "But we were looking for the Altirhinus in the parade on Brontina being our parade float, but he didn't show up."
"That's why we're here." Alicia said. "The Altirhinus' heading for the stadium!" The screen then changed to show the Altirhinus pushing the soccer ball to the stadium.
"So that's where he's heading!" Rhysa said. "Okay Cousins we'll head over there now!"
"Max and the others are already on their way!" Dora said. "So go meet them there!"
"Rodger!" Rhysa replied. "On our way." Rhysa then turned off the screen and then she and her team raced to the stadium. "Good thing I know how to run in these things." Rhysa smiled, glad she knew how to run in high heels.

"Give it up for our winning samba dancing team, the Hybro Ganglers!" A fabulous-looking announcer said as the crowd cheered while the trio and their 'floats' stood on the stage and revived their praise.
"Thank you all! You have excellent taste." Cursula beamed, all three wearing yellow leis around their necks and waving their hands in the air as a sign of gratitude and enthusiasm. "Let the thrill of our victory carry you through the day!""
The only one not celebrating was Armatus, who still was upset about being the float and having to wear bows and ribbons. "If this ever comes up again, there will be no mercy." He growled quietly, but his threat was unheard.
Unfortunately, the mostly happy moment couldn't last as Dr.N called them on the Hybro Scanner. "What is this?!" He asked once he was picked up, a projection of him popping out of the screen like it was a 3D hologram. "Am I watching a new episode of 'Dancing with the Fools?!'"
"Dr.N?"
"That Dinosaur is out causing all sorts of trouble, while you three are here doing the rumba!"
"Samba." Cursula corrected.
"Never mind, look!" The screen then changed to show the Altirhinus pushing the soccer ball to the stadium.
"Hey! Almost looks like it's playing soccer." Tred giggled.
"That's because it is playing soccer!" Dr.N yelled. "In fact, its love of soccer is exactly what you're going to use to capture it." He said before cackling.
"I'm not sure I follow." Cursula said.
"Are we going to start up a Dinosaur League?!" Slander asked excitedly.
"No, you pea-brain!" Dr.N said as his image appeared again, making Slander frown in disappointment. "But if I told you any more, you'll only mess it up." He said, crossing his arms and looking away smugly. "All I can say is that you'll need Horn Plate and Armatus' skills for this, and give Dr.Wu's new Hybrid a debut for him. Just go to the stadium and wait for further orders." He told them before hanging up.
"You've been great, folks! See you next year." Slander said hastily as they recalled Horn Plate and Armatus and made a break for the stadium. "Exit, stage right!" They announced together, leaving the crowd confused as to where the float went.

"I'm reporting these images live from Olé Stadium, where fans are in a panic, rushing to evacuate amid reports that the Dinosaur is heading right for it." The Anchorwoman said as she showed the footage. "And here it comes, a huge Dinosaur, rolling... a giant ball made of grass?" She said with confusion over what exactly was going on. This was a new level of weird for her.
In Brazil, Max led the others to where the Altirhinus was heading. "He's going inside."
Once he entered, the Altirhinus continued on rolling the ball into the centre of the stadium while people inside ran for cover. "Well, at least we got him cornered." Terry said once they entered.
"Should I call out Chomp?" Max asked before noticing something else helping the evacuation. "Huh? Hey, Ricardo!"
"Now's not the time to fanboy, Max." Rex reminded him.
"But it's so exciting!" Max told him, resisting the urge to fanboy again, before giving in to Rex's reasoning. "All right." He said disappointedly. Then he saw Rhysa and her team enter the stadium, with Rhysa still in her princess gown. "Rhysa! There you are!"
"Why are you-?" Paris started to ask.
"We'll explain later!" Rhysa said quickly. "Right now we've got a Dinosaur to save!"
Zoe followed the two boys before she collided with someone. She found herself getting caught in someone's arms and gasped when she saw who it was. "Ooh."
"I'm sorry, love. Are you alright?" Deckham asked her.
"Navin Deckham!" Zoe said in shock.
"Haven't we met before?" He asked her.
"Yes!" Zoe said before fainting from giddiness.
"Um, Zoe?" Max asked her.
"Do you know her?" Deckham asked them.
"Yeah. Sorry about that." Max apologised.
"We'll take care of her now. Thanks." Rex said before he and Max dragged Zoe away from the soccer player and off to the side where she wouldn't get in the way.
"I must be dreaming. It's too wonderful to be real." Zoe sighed dreamily as the boys put her down. "Navin Deckham remembered me!"
"Zoe, snap out of it!" Paris urged as she nudged her with her snout to wake her up from her fantasy, with minimal success.
"Um, guys?" Chomp pointed in the direction of the Altirhinus. The Ornithopod was tearing up the grass ball in frustration, caused by something, before charging towards them.
"I hope you're ready, Chomp." Max told him.
"Let's play ball!"
"DINO SLASH! GO, TRICERATOPS! ROAR! ELEMENT BOOSTER! DINO TECTOR ON!"
The Altirhinus seeing his opponent had armour on him started glowing too, but green as in a dimension of grass, a circle of grass appeared around the Altirhinus as a bright green circle appeared on his forehead, grass then came bursting out of his sides as one green circle appeared in either side of him, then the one on his forehead shone brightly as shoulder blade green coloured armour appeared on his shoulders on each side, as more armour appeared on his sides working its way down from his front to his tail, finally armour appeared on his forehead like a helmet, the Altirhinus reared up on his hind legs, roared at the sky as he slammed his feet back to the ground and posed as grass sprouted out across all around the dimension.
The grass in the stadium disappeared once the battle began. The Triceratops landed with his armour on and immediately charged forward and knocked the Altirhinus away. The Altirhinus slid on the floor before rearing up to hit Chomp with his forelegs. Chomp sidestepped and hit the Altirhinus in the face with his tail. "Keep it up, Chomp!" Max told him. Chomp grabbed onto the Altirhinus' tail and threw him across the stadium.
Suddenly, part of the stadium exploded. Once the smoke cleared, a Dinosaur head popped out. "Howdy, mates!"
"Mind if we crash the game?" Horn Plate asked, as she popped her head through.
"Well! That Altirhinus puts up quite a battle, don't you think?" Cursula asked, announcing their presence. At least her, the Hybrids and Tred's as Slander had mysteriously vanished.
"Great. Not you again." Tank said in frustration.
"If you think you're sorry to see me now, just wait! I got a special surprise for the three of you interfering half pints." Cursula told them.
"What kind of surprise?" Max asked them.
Before she could answer, there was a voice coming from the press box. "Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the first-ever Dinosaur League Soccer Match!" Slander said over the microphone.
"Say what now?" White Slash asked.
"So that's where he went." Tred said to Cursula, who was looking very ticked off right now at the idiocy being displayed.
"Geez, that's almost at your level of stupid." Tank said to Spiny before realising he wasn't there. "Spiny?"
"This first battle is a free-way free-for-all of Chomp the Triceratops against Armatus the Stegosaurus, Horn Plate the Stegoceratops and Rio the Altirhinus!" Spiny said over the mike, joining Slander in the box.
"OK. I guess he's now known as Rio." Tank said to herself before turning to the other two Hybro Gang members. "Mind telling us what on earth this plan is?"
"Since you asked nicely. Tred, release the ball!" Cursula told him.
"Right." Tred said before sending a small drone, carrying a large grey ball, in between the three Dinosaurs.
"Fans, this ball here was designed especially for Dinosaur soccer." Slander said.
"Should we go over the rules?" Spiny asked his co-commentator.
"This is Dinosaur soccer! The only rule is to hit the ball into the goal!" Slander told him. "Now let the game begin!"
Tred blew a whistle before dropping the ball in front of Armatus. "Y'all got no chance against me!" The Stegosaurus warned them as he placed a foot on the ball. "I've got mad skills, in case y'all have forgotten." He then gave the ball a kick before dribbling it to one of the goals.
Rio roared before going in to steal the ball. The Stegosaurus kicked the ball over to Chomp. Chomp stopped the ball with his feet before quickly moving it away from Rio. "And the game starts out with some fierce competition from Rio!" Slander started commentating.
"Whoa! Look at that!" Max said in astonishment.
"They really are playing soccer." Rex said in an equal amount of shock.
"I think we had similar sports like this back in the day." Tank admitted, remembering being told of a game that did sound similar to soccer. "Yeah, it was called kick rock. Though it was not very popular from what I heard due to the fact the game was about kicking large rocks, which was very painful for the players and often led to injuries or even crippling for life. And Rio must have been a competitive player in that game."
"That would explain why he is so strong. Apparently he never skipped leg day, seeing as he moves just fine." Max joked before warning his partner "So be careful, Chomp!" The Triceratops nodded before resuming the match.
"Tracker, Giganto and Dread, I'm sending you three to help out Chomp." Rhysa said, getting them ready.
"DINO SLASH! GO DREADNOUGHTUS STOMP THEM FLAT! TYRANNOTITAN AND GIGANTOSAURUS! IT'S SOCCER TIME! ELEMENT BOOSTER! DINO TECTOR ON!"
"And it looks like the D-Team has sent in some more players." Spiny commented. "Things are about to get rough for the Hybro Gang down there."
"Ha, not much we can't handle." Cursula said. "Allow me to introduce the newest Hybrid from Dr.Wu's Lab!" Cursula announced, and swiped a Card across her Hybro Scanner.
Then from a purple glow an all new and unusual Hybrid appeared. The Hybrid had the base of a Baryonyx coloured with dried blood red scales, with the snout being more of a meteor yellowish-orange colour. The face was that of a Baryonyx, but it had a stratos blue armoured back similar to the one of a Polocanthus but without the spikes. This Hybrid was a Dracodentitan.
"At last!" The new Hybrid roared in a female voice. "A chance to fight!" Then she saw Giganto. "Well it looks like he's survived all the tests, but can he survive this?" Then she charged forward.
Upon seeing the new Hybrid all of Giganto's confidence had gone and was replaced by fear. "Oh no!" Giganto gasped. "Not her! Anyone but her!" He started backing away in fear.
"It looks like the new player on the field has left Giganto in shock." Slander commented.
"Giganto what's wrong?" Tracker asked, as Dread engaged the Dracodentitan in a headlock. "You've never backed down from anyone before!"
"It's working! Just like Dr.N said!" Tred said with a smile, seeing a plan of theirs going smoothly for once.
"Who would have thought you could fuse Hybro Droids together to make a ball?" Cursula asked sarcastically.
"Well, I can't think of a more enjoyable way to capture a Dinosaur." Armatus said as he walked over to the bleachers and laid down. "While the Hybro Droids do all the work, we get to sit back and watch a soccer match." He said before they all chuckled.
"Looks like the new Hybrid's proving her fierce reputation already." Screecher said.
"Who knew that Giganto would be afraid of Dracodentitan?" Thudder asked.
"Well I think this is the best way to catch a Dinosaur." Horn Plate said, lying by the bleachers. "While the newbie does the work, we get to watch a soccer match."
"And Armatus and Horn Plate seem to be taking a nap." Spiny said once he noticed the Stegosaurus and Stegoceratops.
"I'd be tired too if I was dressed up as a float and walking all over town in a parade." Slander said.
"I thought I said never to mention that!" Armatus yelled at the press box.
"Why would the Hybro Gang give the Dinosaurs that soccer ball?" Terry asked.
"And why's Giganto acting so scared of that new Hybrid?" Brontina asked.
"I'm sure they're up to no good." Tank said.
"I'm going to call back Chomp." Max decided, not wanting Chomp out there when they did execute whatever they had planned.
"It's crunch time for you!" The Dracodentitan said, as the dark purplish-black circle appeared around her. Suddenly multiple jaws showed up and started biting Dread all over. The Dreadnoughtus roared in pain, before the Hybrid clamped down on his tail, lifted him over herself and tossed him to the ground opposite to her. Dread then returned to his Card. The shockwaves from the Hybrid's Move shook the stadium making the golden egg of gratitude crack open, meaning it was a Card Capsule and a single Move Card came out.
"That 100 Crunches Strike rules!" Tregear cheered, before watching the Hybrid do the same thing to Tracker.
"The new Hybrid's already taken down two out of three of the D-Team's Dinos!" Spiny gasped. "And she's about to make it a third!"
"Dread! Tracker!" Rhysa cried seeing two of her Dinos' defeat. "GIGANTO! LOOK OUT!"
"Stay away from me!" Giganto yelled, as he backed into a corner with no way to escape as the Hybrid advanced closer towards him. "Leave me alone! stop! I don't want to die! PLEASE! SOMEONE! ANYONE! SAVE ME!"
Rhysa gasped having never seen Giganto so scared before, she wondered how to save him, that's when she noticed the Move Card by her feet. "What's this?" She asked, as she picked up the Card and saw it had some small Pachycephalosaurs on it. Seeing it was her only chance and Giganto's only hope Rhysa activated the Move Card. "PLEASE! We're in need of help!"
Suddenly a bunch of small Dinosaurs appeared in front of Giganto. These Dinosaurs were Pachycephalosaurids like Stiggy, Stigga and Diamonda but were much smaller and nimble Herbivores. Four of them were rock grey, four of them were lemon yellow, and four of them were lime green. While two were light brown with dark brown blotches, and two were pink with crimson stripes. But one was sun yellow with silver stripes and battle scars. The rest had white stripes on their sides like an infant Wild Boar or a baby Tapir. They had small arms with 5 little fingered hands, small but long legs, long tails, and had yellow coloured domeheads. These Dinosaurs were Homalocephales.
"Who's the enemy Sir?" The Sun Yellow Homalocephale asked.
"She is!" Giganto cried, pointing to the charging Hybrid. "Please! Stop her!"
"At your service!" He replied, and turned to his group. "Alright men and women! We've got an enemy to stop! Follow my lead with all you've got!"
"Yes, Battle Scarred!" The rest of the Homalocephales called.
"Alright troopers! Charge! Charge! Charge!" Battle Scarred cried, and led the charge as his group followed.
"What do we have here?" Spiny asked. "It seems more smaller Dinosaurs have entered the playing field!"
"Hey. Where did those pests come from?" White Slash asked, seeing the small Dinosaurs with binoculars she had.
"Those are Homalocephales right?" Tregear asked.
"Well whatever they are, they're heading straight for Dracodentitan!" Screecher and Thudder cried.
What happened next surprised everyone. The Homalocephale Leader roared to his group. Then they charged with their domeheads down, together the little Pachycephalosaurs formed a big battering ram. The Homalocephales collided with the Dracodentitan, the little Pachycephalosaurids were small but they were strong enough to not only stop the Hybrid's 100 Crunches Strike but also knocked the Dracodentitan into the side of the stadium. Then the light brown with dark brown blotches and the pink with crimson stripes ones circled around Giganto, giving him the energy the rest of the group had gotten from the 100 Crunches Strike.
"That's amazing!" Stiggy and Stigga cried, with Dread's and Tracker's Cards in their mouths.
"HEY! She used Homalo Smash and Heal Squad!" Horn Plate cried, recognising the Move Card. "Dracodentitan! Try to get up!"
The Hybrid tried to get back on her feet, but she ended up taking too much damage from crashing into the stadium wall and the Homalocephales attack. "Oh well, at least I've struck fear in Giganto." She said weakly before collapsing on her side and returned to her Card.
"And the Dracodentitan has been defeated." Slander said. "Those Homalocephales have shown no mercy to the newbie."
"ALRIGHT!" Rhysa cheered. "Wow those Homalocephales might be small but together, they're a mighty force." But then she noticed Giganto was still in fear. "Hey Giganto what's wrong? The Hybrid's defeated now so go and help Chomp!"
But before he could, Cursula told Tred. "Tred, time to unleash the Droids."
"Okay! Hybro Droids, scatter now!" With the press of a button, the ball erupted into a ton of Hybro Droids.
"Oh my god! The ball is really made of robots! Who would have seen that coming?!" Slander asked, forgetting that he was told the plan.
"Scatter. Scatter. Scatter." The Hybro Droids landed in front of the two Dinosaurs, but after being rolled around like a soccer ball they were very dizzy. Their voices started sounding more distorted as their eyes spiralled and they moved around like they were drunk dancing.
"They're supposed to attack!" Cursula said in frustration, with a slight hint of whining. "Besides, we won the award for best samba."
"Um, they're not dancing, Sheila. They're dizzy." Armatus told her.
"Probably from all that rolling those two were doing." Horn Plate said.
"Another invention from Dr.N goes bust." She sighed before regaining composure. "So, begin Hybro Gang Plan B!" Tred knew what this meant and activated the secret weapon.
"LET'S GO, GIGAS! SPECTRAL ARMOUR ACTIVATE!"
"And the Hybro Gang have brought in a T-Rex! How will the opposing team respond?" Slander asked.
"That's an illegal substitution." Max told the Hybro Gang. "Red card! That player has to leave the field right now!" He said, literally pulling out a red card he had for no reason.
"And he brings out the red card! Looks like that guy's outta here!" Spiny said.
"Sorry, runt, but you're not the referee here. And even if you were, we play by our own rules." Cursula mocked as she stuck her tongue out at him and pulled at the bottom of her eyes before going into ordering mode. "Go get 'em, Gigas! And hit 'em hard!" She told the Tyrannosaurus.
"You've got it!" Gigas roared before charging forward. He grabbed Chomp by the neck and tossed him aside like a ragdoll. "No! Chomp!" Max exclaimed.
"And it seems Gigas chooses to ignore the red card entirely." Spiny said.
"I'd say that's cheating on his part, but everyone knows the only rule in Dinosaur soccer is to survive the game and make goals." Slander said.
"Ace, Tank, I'm sending you both in to help Chomp." Rex told his partners while Max got Terry ready, too.
"DINO SLASH! CARNOTAURUS, BLOW THEM AWAY! SHAKE 'EM UP, SAICHANIA!"
"DINO SLASH! FLAME UP, TYRANNOSAURUS!"
"ELEMENT BOOSTERS! DINO TECTORS ON!"
All three Dinosaurs landed on the ground, nearly on top of the now downed Hybro Droids. "Regroup." The robots said, sounding like they were turning on, before latching themselves into the trio, pinning them to the ground. "Attack. Attack. Attack."
"No! Shake 'em off, guys!" Max told the trio.
"Looks like those robots needed a kick start." Slander told Spiny.
"We all need that sometimes. I need it a lot, apparently." Spiny replied.
Gigas roared as he went for Rio. Chomp tried to stop him, but was stopped when Armatus and Horn Plate tackled him away mid charge. "Ergh! Tear 'em apart, you three!" Cursula growled in suspense as she unintentionally grabbed onto Tred's neck and started squeezing it.
"Uh, Cursula? That crunching sound is my neck bones cracking. Let me out." Tred told her as he tapped her arm, hoping that would get her attention.
"Take that Triceratops out!" Cursula yelled at the Stegosaurus and Stegoceratops like a crazed soccer fan, ignoring Tred's pleas and squeezing him tighter.
Armatus and Horn Plate obliged, swung their tails and hit Chomp dead centre just as he got back up. The Triceratops went flying and collided with Giganto sending them both into a goal before knocking it away and hitting a wall. They fell to the ground and Chomp was Carded thanks to using up his energy in the game. "Gooooooooal!" Slander and Spiny cheered as the words appeared on the jumbo screen. "A goal!"
"I'm coming, Chomp!" Max said as he ran for the card.
"Giganto!" Rhysa cried, racing to her downed partner. "Are you alright!"
"One down, and we even scored a goal, too." Cursula said with a smile.
"Great. Can you let go now?" Tred asked, starting to turn blue and lose feeling everywhere. When Cursula did free him from her suffocating grasp, he sucked in a big breath of air and was finally able to use a Move Card. "Go, Spectral Lancer!"
Crystals formed out of Gigas' sides as he went for Rio. The other three Dinosaurs managed to shake the robots off and tried to stop him. But it was no use as he picked up the Altirhinus and slammed him into a wall with all his might until he backed off once he was one-hundred percent positive Rio was defeated, which he was once the Ornithopod hit the ground he returned to his Card. "And that's how the King of the Dinosaurs does it. Or rather the vice king." Gigas said to the defeated Altirhinus, deciding to not risk insulting Brontikens, even in his absence, as he roared in victory.
"Sad to say, it was a tragic death." Spiny said, but the remembered that Rio wasn't dead. "Oh wait, let me rephrase that, it was a tragic defeat."
"But that's what fighting's all about!" Slander yelled before they both screamed. "Gigas wins!"
"Yeah, well they don't win the card." Max said, having grabbed Chomp's Card, before going to get it, only to be blocked by Gigas, Horn Plate and Armatus.
"Oh, that's where you're wrong." Cursula mocked as she picked up the card.
"Gigas! Armatus! Horn Plate!" Slander said as he ran up to them with a microphone. "You just won the first-ever Dinosaur League Soccer Match. What are you going to do now?"
"Will you knock it off!" Cursula told him as she hit him on the head.
"Fine, I was just having fun." Slander muttered, rubbing his wound, before recalling both Dinosaurs and the one Hybrid.
The drone that dropped the ball came back with a helicopter net and the trio grabbed onto it and flew away, a large magnet picking up the Hybro Droids and a smaller hand picking up the Dracodentitan's Card. "We had a ball, squirts! Better luck next time! Olé!" They mocked before laughing. "Ahahahaha!"
"Aw, man!" Tank said in disappointment.
"Hey, I couldn't do anything." Spiny reminded them as he rejoined the group. "If Zoe wasn't going beddy-bye I would totally not be goofing off."
"You're not to blame Spiny." Rhysa said. "But we fell right into their trap again."
"They're getting away with Rio!" Giganto cried. "And my worst nightmare came true." He said more quietly.
Max growled in frustration. "Hybro Gang, take that!" He kicked a nearby soccer ball as hard as he could and hit the drone's propeller. The trio screamed as the drone crashed to the ground. Unfortunately, this didn't make them lose the Card. "I promise, that'll be the last time you beat us to a Dinosaur." He swore to them.

Once they returned home, Zoe showed off her signature to Reese. "Cool, huh?" Zoe told her sister, who was holding Paris at the moment. "Can you believe it, Reese? I really got Navin Deckham's actual autograph! I've decided I'm never, ever, gonna wash it off of her!" She declared, making Paris nervous, before gushing. "He was so cute!"
"Maybe I should study the effect of ink on dinosaur skin." Reese told her.
Zoe knew what she really meant. "No way!" She said as she swiped Paris out of her grasp.
"Please?" Reese asked shyly.
Paris sighed as it looked like this was gonna last forever. But her thoughts changed when she saw Spiny in the window, holding a hose in his mouth with water dripping. Now she was more worried about what Zoe and Reese were going to do to him.
Meanwhile at the D-Lab, Rhysa told her Cousins all about the parade and how Brontina looked in her float get up, and about Giganto's behaviour.
"He was acting like a Cat in the water." Rhysa said. "He was so scared."
"I wonder if that Dracodentitan, if that's the Hybrid's name, has something to do with Giganto's past?" Dora pondered.
"It's possible Sis." Alicia said. "If the stories of all the junk that traumatised people see are true."
"Trauma can wreak havoc with the mind." Diego said. "But for now let's just let him rest for a minute and let Battle Scarred and his group settle in."
"We pledge our loyalty to you all." Battle Scarred said. "If you ever need us, we're at your service."
"Thanks Battle Scarred." Rhysa said, before looking at Giganto. "What happened to you Giganto? And why were you so scared of that Hybrid?"
DK
At Zeta Point, Armatus strutted down the halls as he went to see Maximus. After successfully grabbing the Altirhinus Card, he felt this was the perfect chance to impress her. He entered their chambers and saw her reading something with Gigas. "Howdy, guys! What's up!" He said coolly.
"Nothing much." Maximus replied, sounding like she saw something funny. "Just reading this magazine is all." She said before laughing at what was on the page alongside Gigas and the rest of the Hybrids.
Armatus walked over to see what was so funny. On the magazine was a picture of him as the pink float along with Horn Plate. Immediately his good mood was gone. "Son of a-!" He ran out of the room in a rage to find the ones who put him in that outfit. Even in victory, the Hybro Gang still can't ever win.
"So Giganto was afraid of you, my evil little Hybrid?" Louisa said, after hearing the success of the mission.
"That's right." The Dracodentitan said. "He even cried for help, like a big baby."
"Which means that he'll soon lose his fighting spirit in no time." Louisa cackled. "But in the meantime, since I'm still grounded, I might as well continue with my project." Louisa said, as she continued on building whatever she was making.
Next time on Dinosaur King:
Rex: Maybe, they're all not getting enough exercise?
Max: I'd imagine living in a large box would get anyone stressed after a while.
Manager: Get rid of that thing, you so-called experts!
Announcer: Please enjoy our ceremonial dance.
A/N: Ok, this chapter
Well here's a nice before Christmas surprise for you guys. The next chapter is ready for you.
Now it's time to explain some things.
Why have Brontina in the parade? Well I guess I kinda got the idea for when the Gorilla float was destroyed in the Anime. Since I've never been to the big festival in Brazil before, it's fun to pretend on how the floats might look.
Also you're all probably wondering what's up with Giganto when he saw the Dracodentitan and why he was so scared. Well the answers are to come in future chapters.
But the Dracodentitan and the rest of the Homalocephales need names, so please list some in the reviews.
Also Drew, why are you so negative in your reviews? When you reviewed Chapter 16 which was my first original chapter, you were extremely negative. Are you trying to drive me to do what you do? Because that's not how I write my stories. We're all fanfiction users and as users each and everyone of us has his or her own writing style that they work with best, and the styles need to be respected at all times.
See you all next time.
