The day started out normally at Zeta Point with Dr.N playing his bone game. "Shake-a-bone, shake-a-bone, shake-a-bone, stew! Ride your own Dinosaur two by two!" He sang before rolling the bones. "Reveal!" The bones slid across the map before one, either a tooth or claw bone, pointed at Japan. "Look at that. The bones have shown right where the next Dinosaur will appear." He told his minions, who were watching from the couch with disinterest. "On your feet, you lazy Slugs!" He ordered them. "Get moving, and don't come back without it."
"On our way!" The quartet sprang to their feet and saluted before the floor opened up beneath them, leading to their transportation for the week, a large pink rocket. "Aaah!" The quartet screamed before they landed right in the rocket seats very hard. "Owww! Ugh, by now you'd think we'd learn to not stand up in front of that couch." Cursula groaned as she rubbed her behind.
"Oh my behind." Louisa moaned. "I think I've got a wedgie."
The rocket activated and blasted off towards where the bones pointed. "Yaaah!" The quartet screamed again as they were pushed to the back of the cockpit thanks to gravity. "Maybe someone could suggest that we have a few seatbelts put into this thing?" Cursula suggested as she climbed into her seat once the force from the blast off died down.
"The worst of it is that if it weren't for a bunch of old bones, we wouldn't even be out here!" Slander said as he and Tred climbed into their seats. "I didn't even have time to record the new episode of Game of Thrones."
"For a man of science, Dr.N sure does believe in a lot of superstitions." Tred pointed out. "But for some reason, those bones seem to work."
"How else is he getting the locations of these Dinosaurs right?" Louisa said. "How can a bunch of old bones tell where the Dinosaurs are?"
"It all sounds like bunk to me." Cursula said. "But supposedly those old bones can detect vibrations from the other Dinosaurs' emotions." She mockingly suggested.
"Like if they were mad at someone?" Tred asked worryingly, not realising Cursula's sarcasm.
"Or if someone were to have mistreated them?" Slander asked, also missing Cursula's joke.
The duo cowered in fear before they heard a loud roar. Turning around they saw a giant Dinosaur skull surrounded by blue flames. "AAAAAH!" The duo screamed while Cursula bonked them on the heads and rolled up the picture.
"She was being sarcastic, you nitwits!" Louisa growled.
"Grow some balls, will you? How can a bunch of bones detect emotions that are nonexistent?" She asked before she laid back on her seat. When she did so, the heel of her shoe accidentally broke off one of the levers up front. "Huh?"
"Waaah!" Slander and Tred screamed before the machine started going out of control.
"What's wrong with this machine?!" Cursula asked, tightly gripping onto her seat for dear life, an action mimicked by her teammates.
"You broke something!" Slander pointed out.
"That black stick thing?! Who needs it?!" Cursula asked.
"I'll explain after we crash!" Tred screamed as the out-of-control rocket flew to their location.
"I'm never flying on this flight again!" Louisa yelled.
(Intro Theme)
With the D-Team, they were in a car being driven by Reese, heading for an airport. "It seems like going flying sure puts you in a good mood, huh, Reese?" Zoe asked her sister as she noticed the smile on her face and her humming while sitting up front with her.
"Yeah, I guess so." The blonde woman answered. "I really look forward to going up once a month."
"I can't wait to go up in the air with you Cousin Diego." Rhysa said excitedly.
"Me too." Diego said. "It's nice to spend some time together Cuz."
"Dora would've come too." Alicia said. "But she had some work to finish up at the D-Lab."
"I bet flying an aeroplane must be pretty cool." Ace thought aloud.
"Yeah! Maybe once we're up in the air, she'll let us work the controls for a while." Spiny wished eagerly.
"We'd want to survive this flight." Tank told him.
"Hey! Look, there's the airport." Max pointed out as they approached their destination.
They parked the car and entered the airport. Once they did, Reese recognised a man that was passing by. "Oh. Hello, Mr. Stanley."
The man stopped and looked at who addressed him. "Oh, hello, Reese. Are you flying today?" He asked her. When he did, Zoe imagined him doing it in a charming way. But not because she thought he was cute.
"Yes. Can you believe it's already been a month?" Reese asked him.
"Well, the weather is perfect, so you should have smooth sailing up there." Stanley told her before looking down and noticing Zoe glaring at him. "Huh? Oh, this must be the younger sister you mentioned."
"Yes. That's Zoe, the girl with Diego and Alicia is Rhysa and the boys are Max and Rex." Reese answered.
"Hi, Mr. Stanley." Both boys and Rhysa said while their Dinosaurs gave out a friendly chirp.
Stanley immediately tensed up when he noticed the Dinosaurs in both their, and Zoe's hands. "What-what kind of Animals are those?" He asked nervously.
"Uh, these are just Dogs. Heh heh. Cute, aren't they?" Max said, gesturing to the Dinos in his arms.
"Very unique breed of Dogs too." Rhysa added.
"Yeah. Do you want to pet one?" Rex asked.
"Agh. No way!" Stanley exclaimed as he backed up. "Keep them away from me! I don't really do so well with Animals." He explained.
While the Dinosaurs understood this, phobia of Dogs wasn't unheard of even though Tank still glared at Stanley and Spiny didn't understand what was going, Zoe didn't take kindly to this. "So, why don't you like Animals?" She asked, narrowing her eyes at him.
"Sorry. Gotta run, guys. Have a good flight today. See you later, Reese. Bye!" He said quickly and he ran to the control room.
"What is the connection between you and that guy, Reese?" Zoe asked once he was gone. Already getting to the point.
"I'm not sure what you mean by that." Reese answered, not understanding Zoe's attitude. "I'm a pilot, and he's an air traffic controller. So the connection is purely professional."
"Right." Zoe said as she narrowed her eyes with suspicion.
"Come on let's get flying already!" Tracker said. "I want to see what a Pterosaur always sees."
"Okay. This way, kids." Reese said as she led them to where the plane was.
"You know what, Reese? I really want to look around the airport. So I think I'll skip the flight." Zoe told her sister.
"Are you sure?" Reese asked.
"What's going on? Is there something wrong?" Max asked as he walked up to her.
"Nevermind. You guys go ahead and enjoy your flight with Reese." Zoe told them.
"What about you two?" Max asked Paris and Spiny.
"I would like to stay with Zoe." Paris said, already knowing she'd need her help with whatever she was really doing.
"I don't want to crash the plane, as Tank's been saying I will, so it's best if I stay away from the flying thing" Spiny said.
"And we've got a little job we have to do." Zoe said as she gave a scowl.
"What kind of job?" Chomp asked.
"Don't worry about it. We'll see you later." Zoe said as they walked off.
"Is she okay?" Rex asked Max.
"She's up to something, but she won't tell me what it is." Max answered.
"Well, if Spiny's not going then that's good enough for me." Tank said.
"Hey, what's the hold-up? Let's get going." Reese told them.
"Coming!" They replied as they ran over to where she was.
Meanwhile, Zoe and her Dinos were currently riding up an escalator. "So, why did you skip the flight, Zoe?" Paris asked.
"It's because I think the real reason Reese comes here to fly is so she can see that man." Zoe answered. "That's why she was so cheerful."
"And your sister being in love is a problem?" Spiny asked.
"When it's him, yes." Zoe told him before a determined and upset look appeared on her face. "We've got to separate them somehow."
"Well, mission accomplished." Spiny said. "They're not together right now."
"I didn't mean like that." Zoe said. "I mean we've got to stop their romantic relationship. What kind of man is that anyway? Imagine not liking Animals. Right, guys?"
"I guess I see your point." Paris answered hesitantly.
The trio got to the top of the escalator and saw Stanley at a cafe. "There he is!" Zoe said angrily as her partners leapt out of her embrace.
"Should we put him down?" Spiny asked.
"Not yet, Spiny. Follow me." Zoe said as they went to the cafe.
Stanley was eating some food by the window when Zoe approached him. "Hello again." Zoe said as she took a seat with a drink. "Do you mind if we join you?" She asked, gesturing to Spiny and Paris taking seats near him, Paris next to him.
"Uh, Well, I, uh." Stanley said as he looked at Paris nervously, just expecting her to attack him.
"Don't worry. She won't bite. Unless she doesn't like you." Zoe assured him with a mischievous smile.
"Oh. Good." He sighed with relief, though it wasn't much relief.
DK
On the runway Diego's plane was getting ready to fly. "Tower this is Tanga 4-9-0, request permission for take off over?" Diego asked.
"Permission granted." Alicia said in the control tower. "Tanga 4-9-0 you are clear for take off."
Soon the plane took off as Rhysa and her Dinos held on tight during take off. Once they were high above the clouds.
"Wow, look at the view." Dread cried. "I've always wanted to see what Quetzal and the Pteranodons see and now I finally have!"
"I never knew the world looked so small from this high." Brontina said in amazement.
But what none of them realised was that the Hybro Gang were close by in their rocket.
"Finally!" White Slash sighed. "We've slowed down."
"Yeah, I really thought we were gonna throw up." Horn Plate gasped. "But at least it's over."
"Hey, what's this button do?" Tregear asked, pressing a button that had a plane on it.
"Wait! Don't press it!" The H-Team cried.
But it was too late, the second Tregear pressed the button a mini jet was launched out of the rocket and flew straight towards Diego's plane.
"What the!?" Diego cried, seeing the jet.
The jet collided with the rudder and exploded causing them to spiral down out of control. As Diego struggled to regain altitude, Stiggy and the other Dinosaurs held onto each other for dear life. Rhysa, meanwhile, started to freak out. As the plane fell out of the sky, she kept having visions of a baby crying in a wormhole. A baby that looked like her. "Aah!" Rhysa screamed as her fear increased rapidly.
"Don't worry Cousin!" Diego reassured his cousin. "I can get us out of this mess! Just stay calm!"
It took all of Diego's strength but he was finally able to pull the plane up before it crashed into the ground and back up into the sky.
"Phew!" Diego sighed in relief. "We're back to flying level again." He turned to inform his passengers. "The rudder's been damaged, but we should be fine." Then he noticed Rhysa breathing heavily and her face was paler than a rock. "Rhysa? Are you alright?"
"No, not really Cousin." Rhysa said. "I feel a little sick. Can we please land now?"
"Sure thing." Diego said. "Tower this is Tanga 4-9-0, request permission for an emergency landing over?"
"Permission granted." Alicia said. "The runway's clear for you to begin your approach!"
Soon Diego's plane landed just as Reese and the boys arrived.
"How was your flight guys?" Max asked.
"I don't want to talk about it." Rhysa said, as she got off the plane.
"What's wrong with her?" Tank asked.
"She kinda freaked out on the plane." Giganto said.
"Rhysa!" Alicia cried, running from the control tower. "Are you and Diego alright?"
"I'm much better now, that I'm back on solid ground again." Rhysa said.
"What happened to your rudder?" Rex asked.
"We don't know." Diego said. "We saw a miniature jet fly out of nowhere and it struck the rudder, causing us to rapidly descend. I had to use all my strength to get us back in the air."
"But you guys go on and enjoy your flight with Reese." Rhysa said. "I think I need some time on the ground." With that Rhysa, her Dinos and her two Cousins walked back inside. After they left Reese, the boys and their Dinos boarded Reese's plane.
On the runway, Reese's plane was getting itself into position to take off. "Tango 2-7-5, you are clear for takeoff on runway L-3, over." A man over the radio said to Reese.
"Roger. Thanks, tower." Reese said before the jets started to increase.
"Here we go, guys." Chomp said excitedly as he wiggled in his seat.
The plane started to speed up down the runway before finally having enough power to lift up into the air. Once they were off the ground, Chomp started freaking out. "Oh my god! We're all gonna die!" He screamed as he started flailing in his seat.
"Easy, Bro." Terry told him.
"Chomp, it's gonna be okay." Max told the Triceratops, holding his partner to try to calm him down.
"I know your tricks! You'll never take me in!" Chomp said before he bit onto Max's hand.
"Reese, Chomp's freaking out. We can't go." Max told her, ignoring the pain in his hand.
"I'll turn around." Reese said before contacting the control tower. "This is Tango 2-7-5. We have a sick passenger and request an emergency landing."
Once they were able to land, Max and his team exited the plane. "Hey, guys, you don't mind if we stay on, do you?" Rex asked them.
"No. That's fine." Max told him before they got off the ramp. "I'm sorry, Chomp. I didn't know you didn't like flying." The brunet apologised.
"Neither did I." Chomp admitted, looking down in shame for ruining it for the rest of his team. "But you guys really didn't have to come with me."
"Wouldn't have been the same without you." Terry said as he gave his brother a playful nudge. "Besides, there's always next time."
"I'd rather not have a next time." Chomp said as they watched the plane take off.
This time the plane was able to get high above the clouds. "So, do you like flying, Rex?" Reese asked as they both looked at the view.
"Yeah, it's really cool." Rex said. "Right, guys?"
"I'd never thought I'd see the day I'll be able to see what a Pterosaur sees when it flies." Ace said. "Humans have come a long way."
"It's just the tops of clouds." Tank said, ruining the mod. "Nothing really special." She told them before noticing something. "Hey. What's that?" She asked, pointing to a large shadow in the clouds. "You guys see that shadow over there?"
"Probably just a larger plane." Reese said as she started to focus on a way to avoid it.
The shadow was actually the Hybro Gang, having gotten the rocket under control. "This rocket sure has a long nose on it. What do you suppose all that extra space is there for?" Slander asked as he looked down from the cockpit.
"I don't know, I didn't build this thing." Louisa said.
"Maybe it's storage. Go see if there are any sandwiches." Cursula told them.
"Too late. We're right over the target location now." Tred told her.
"Good! Take us down." She ordered.
Tred started to pull on the control stick that wasn't broken, but it broke off as well. "Oh, no! Not the other control stick!" Tred paled and screamed before his colleagues did the same. "Aaah!"
The rocket started to rise out of the clouds as it began losing control again. Reese and her passengers gasped at the size of the rocket before it hit them and sent them spiralling out of control.
Reese struggled to get ahold of the controls while Tank and Ace gripped onto the seat tightly. Rex, meanwhile, started to freak out. As the plane fell out of the sky, he kept having visions of a baby crying in a wormhole. A baby that looked like him. "Aah!" Rex screamed as his fear increased.
"Don't panic, Rex." Reese assured him. "I can pull us out of this. We'll be fine."
It took Reese all of her strength to get the plane back under control before they crashed in a forest. Reese sighed in relief as she checked the damage. "It's okay. We're back to flying level again." She told her passengers. "The rudder's been damaged, but I think I'll be able to compensate for it. Are you all okay?"
"Me and Ace are fine, but Rex isn't looking so good." Tank said as she walked up to him and started to nuzzle him while Ace gave him comforting licks. The poor kid was shivering in fear and was unresponsive to any outside communication.

Back at the airport, Zoe was having a conversation with Stanley about Reese. "What? I can't believe Reese would behave like that." Stanley said in shock.
"Oh, yeah. And she rarely brushes her teeth, either. I always have to remind her." Zoe said with an evil smile as she started spilling secrets about her sister. Well, made up secrets that were more her secrets than Reese's. "And she hates to bathe, too. And she butts in line." All this time, Paris watched with uncertainty while Spiny was looking out the window.
"You know, nothing makes me angrier than that." Stanley said with a massive frown and clenched fists.
"Good thing I told you all this, huh?" Zoe chuckled while Paris sighed. Looks like mission accomplished.
Before Stanley could continue his meal, he received a call on his phone. "Hello?" He answered. When he heard what the other side said, his eyes widened. "Right! I'm on my way!" He replied before hanging up. "I have to go. They say Reese's plane collided with a UFO."
"No way!" Zoe gasped.
The group quickly made their way to the control centre. "What's her status?" Stanley asked as he got his equipment.
"Her rudder's been damaged, but she has it under control." One of the employees told him.
Stanley nodded and tried to contact her. "Stanley here. How's it going, Reese?"
"So far so good, but it's hard keeping her level. Also, I've got a passenger here who's in urgent need of attention." Reese told them.
"Oh. I wonder who." Zoe said worryingly as she and her team walked up to Stanley.
"You've been cleared to begin an emergency approach." Stanley told her. "And don't worry. I'll guide you."
"That UFO! It's just entered our airspace!" Another employee told him.
"What!?" Stanley gasped before looking at the radar. "There it is! And it's completely out of control!"
"Shoot it down!" Spiny said, making employees confused where the voice came from.
Meanwhile Rhysa and her Cousins were inside the lobby with Rhysa trying to calm herself from her near death experience. "I don't think I'll be able to ride in a plane the same again." She said breathlessly.
"It's okay Cousin." Alicia said, hugging her. "You're safe now."
"I promised you that we'd keep you safe." Diego said. "And we're going to keep that promise."
Elsewhere, Max and his team came up from an escalator. "Zoe came this way, but I don't see her anywhere now." Max said before noticing the out-of-control rocket through the window. "What is that thing?!"
The rocket continued on flying until the tip touched the ground. It started sliding across the runway, its nose leaving a large ditch in its path before it literally flipped out and finally came to a stop in front of the control tower, those inside shielding themselves from the force of impact.
Somehow, inside the ditch was a capsule. And once the winds caught the three cards inside, they flew away before being activated. What came from the Cards was another Raptor. It was green, with yellow stripes on its back and legs along with a yellow ring on its tail, light tan coloured arms and feet, and on its head and back was a crest that resembled a Horse mane with yellow feathers that had pink tops, particularly large and bushy at the head where it was more pink than yellow. This Dinosaur was a Megaraptor. The Raptor roared before going into the plane storage.
DK
Rhysa and her two Cousins were on their way to the airport cafe to have a bite to eat.
"Maybe something to eat will help calm you down, Rhysa." Alicia said.
"I hope so." Rhysa said.
Then suddenly her Dino Holder started beeping, catching their attention.
"Another Dinosaur's appeared." Stiggy gasped.
"Let's get it!" Rhysa said.
Rhysa called the D-Lab and Dora's face appeared on the screen.
"Dora, we need your help." Rhysa said.
"Rhysa, there's a Dinosaur near your location!" Dora informed her.
"So it's somewhere in the airport." Stigga realised.
"Then let's start looking!" Rhysa said, as she raced to the doors that led outside.
DK
The door to the rocket opened as the Hybro Gang slumped over the sides. "I don't care if that extra space has sandwiches in it or not. At least it protects us during our crash landings." Tred said, trying to lighten the mood again.
"Oh I'm done with these rocket rides that are out of control." Louisa moaned.
"Ugh! For once, I'd like to not have a crash landing." Cursula yelled as she punched Slander for some reason, almost making him fall off the rocket.
"Aah!" Slander screamed as he held on for dear life with just one arm.
As Cursula vented out her rage, she noticed Stanley from the window of the control tower. Immediately, her heart started fluttering. "Ooh. That's one hunk of a man." She blushed. "It's true what they say. When you see your true love, you just know. On my way!" She gave a kiss in his direction before using the seat to lower herself to the ground.
"Where are you going? We have a Dinosaur to chase." Slander reminded her as he climbed back into the cockpit.
"I'll leave that to you. I've got a date with destiny." Cursula said as she ran towards the tower.
"All right. What are you creeps doing here?" Terry asked them as he and the others arrived on the runway.
"Get out of my way! I'm on a mission!" Cursula yelled as she leapt over them and ran inside.
"Bathroom, probably." Max simply said as he watched her run. This was interrupted by the sounds of workers screaming. They looked to see a group of men being chased away by the Megaraptor. "Ah! Megaraptor!" Max identified the Dinosaur.
"You're right Max!" Rhysa cried, as she and her two Cousins showed up. "I can tell because of its hook like claws!"
"That's a really dangerous Dinosaur!" Paris said as she, Spiny, and Zoe noticed it as well.
"Aren't they all?" The worker next to Paris asked, both in shock of the Dinosaur in the runway and the talking Dog next to her, not realising Paris is also a Dinosaur.
"Listen, Reese, the runway is not clear to land." Stanley told her. "I'm waving you off. You'll have to circle around again. We'll get it cleared as soon as we can." He assured her. "Stand by."
"Roger that." Reese replied before turning around. As she did she noticed the large hole on the runway. "How's Rex doing?" She asked Ace and Tank.
"Still nothing." Ace replied. "What's going on below?"
"The runaway has a giant rocket on it, making landing not an option. We'll have to circle around to give them time to clear it, but I'm running awfully low on fuel." She explained.
On the ground, the Megaraptor walked right in front of the Hybro Gang's rocket. "A Dinosaur, just like Dr.N predicted." Slander said, in shock the doctor was right again.
"And the Dinosaur's a Megaraptor!" Louisa identified.
"Guess we better catch it." Tred said before they both jumped off the rocket, wincing once they landed on the ground from the pressure put on their knees, and silently cursing themselves for not using their seats like Cursula did before getting to work.
"All right, Triceratops/Stegosaurus! Hybro Slash!" Both men said as they summoned their Dinosaurs.
"All right Stegoceratops and Dracodentitan!" Louisa said, recalling two of her Dinosaurs. "HYBRO SLASH!"
"SPECTRAL ARMOUR ACTIVATE!/HYBRO BOOSTER! HYBRO TECTOR ON!"
"Forget it. You guys are not gonna get that Megaraptor, so get lost." Max told them.
The Megaraptor noticed her opponents and ran. She could maybe take one of them, but both at once was pushing it. Maximus and Horn Plate chased after her and pushed her into the airport lobby, scaring away the people inside. They then grabbed the Megaraptor by the tail and threw her into a desk. They quickly ran over to the Megaraptor and held her down with their forelegs, Atrocious placed her foot on her neck, while Armatus began hitting the Dromaeosaur's gut with his tail. "This is going to be easy." Maximus said.
"Yeah, clearly Megaraptors aren't very strong." Armatus responded as he continued striking their target.
"This is too easy." The two Hybrids snickered.
Max, Rhysa and their teams quickly ran inside and didn't like what they were seeing. "Four ganging up on one?! That disgusts me!" Terry said angrily.
"You can say that again!" Giganto growled.
Their partners couldn't agree more. "Terry, you need to go save Megaraptor from those four." Max said as he got the Tyrannosaurus ready.
"You two Giganto and Tracker." Rhysa getting them ready.
"DINO SLASH! BLAZE, TYRANNOSAURUS! ELEMENT BOOSTER! DINO TECTOR ON!"
"DINO SLASH! TYRANNOTITAN! ROAR REAL LOUD! GIGANTOSAURUS! IT'S BRAWLING TIME! ELEMENT BOOSTER! DINO TECTOR ON!"
Terry, Tracker and Giganto landed and charged towards Maximus, Horn Plate and Atrocious. They knocked the Triceratops, Stegoceratops and Dracodentitan off the Megaraptor with their large heads, giving her the opening to smack Armatus with her tail.
Once the Megaraptor got back on her feet she started glowing too, but white as in a dimension of wind a circle of wind appeared around Megaraptor as a bright white circle appeared on her forehead, wind then came bursting out of her sides as one white appeared on either side of her, then the one on her forehead shone brightly as shoulder blade white coloured armour on her shoulders on each side, as more armour appeared on her sides working its way down from her front to her tail, finally armour appeared on her head like a helmet, the Megaraptor roared at the sky as she swung her head around and posed as wind blustered all around the dimension.
"Oh boy now she's got her armour on!" Armatus gasped, as the Dromaeosaurid tackled him.
In the control room, the team was still trying to figure out what to do about the rocket. "Reese is in trouble up there. You've got to get that UFO thing off of the runway so she can land." Zoe told Stanley.
"Yeah, but even if we move the UFO, there's still going to be a big hole in that runway." Stanley told her. "And then, if that weren't bad enough, Reese is flying an aircraft with a damaged rudder. It's gonna be a very tough landing."
"But you can help her, right?" Paris asked, her worry constantly building.
"No." Stanley replied, eyes closing in shame and disappointment.
"So what do we do?!" Zoe asked fearfully.
Seeing how distressed the girls were, Spiny decided to act himself. "Move aside, buddy. I'm taking over." The Spinosaurus said as he hopped onto the panel.
Before Stanley could remove him, they all heard Cursula gasp. "Uaaaaah! There you are, you beautiful man. I've finally found you. And you're even more handsome than I thought now that I see you up close." She said excitedly. "My eyes weren't deceiving me at all." She said as she scooted uncomfortably close to him. "You're my knight in polyester armor. And I'm Cursula."
"What is wrong with you, you weird old lady?" Zoe asked angrily, figuring out quickly how she got here.
"You stay out of this." Cursula growled at her. "Anyway, I am not old."
"Whatever! Just get out of here! 'Cause now that you and your fathead friends have crashed your ship into the runway and blocked my sister's plane from landing, so you're not just old! You're old and dumb!" Zoe yelled at her.
"Wasn't that obvious?" Spiny asked as he tried reading the controls.
Cursula growled so much that steam was coming from her ears. "You annoying little runts! I will not stand here and let you ruin my date with destiny!" She yelled at Zoe, making her wince.
"You're a little distracting, ma'am. Please leave." Stanley told Cursula, surprisingly unaffected by her shenanigans.
"Are you talking to me?" Cursula asked in shock as she backed away, making Zoe grin from ear to ear. "B-but we're supposed to be meant for each other!" She pouted like a child before gaining a vengeful smirk. "In that case, I'll make all of you pay with a Hybro Slash and a Spectral Armour!"
"Oh, yeah!" Gigas said as he rose up from the floor, at least until he hit his head on the ceiling. "Ow! Son of a-"
"Okay, so is there anyone else here who'd like to make some smart comments about me, huh?" Cursula asked as she dodged the falling debris.
And the workers ran for their lives, leaving only Stanley and Zoe behind. "Whoa!" Stanley gasped at the sudden appearance of the Tyrannosaurus.
"You need to get out of here." Zoe told him as Gigas' head slowly got closer to them.
"No. I have to stay here for Reese. She needs these instruments so she can land." Stanley said, refusing to show any sign of fear. "Zoe, I need you to get somewhere safe."
"Hurry, Paris!" Zoe said as they ran to the other side of the room. "Let's go!" She said as she got out her Dino Holder and grew Paris to full-size and her armour appeared. Stanley gasped when he realised that these Dogs were actually Dinosaurs.
Paris and Gigas both roared before engaging in a struggle that shook the whole room. "Uh, Gigas? Do you mind moving this battle outside, now?" Cursula asked nervously, not liking them fighting so close to her in such a tiny room.
"Whatever." Gigas said as he grabbed her crest and dragged Paris out the window.
"Oh, no! Paris!" Zoe cried as both Dinosaurs fell to the ground.
While they fought, Terry, Tracker, Giganto and the Megaraptor managed to force Atrocious, Horn Plate, Maximus and Armatus outside.
Atrocious had Giganto currently trapped in her jaws, and he struggled to get free. It lasted for just five minutes, until Horn Plate accidentally hit her teammate with her Lightning Arrows trying to get Tracker who dodged. The Dracodentitan roared in pain and Giganto quickly hit her with his tail, but the Hybrid quickly shot a blast of purple energy at the Gigantosaurus and he was defeated.
"Now that's how Hybrid Blast Shot works!" Horn Plate said.
"Giganto!" Rhysa cried, grabbing the card. "I guess he's still too scared to fight her."
"Don't worry Rhysa, I can handle these two!" Tracker said, as he activated High Rainbow Jump Slam and struck Horn Plate knocking her down, and then quickly met the Dracodentitan in a headlock.
The Megaraptor roared before speeding towards Armatus with several duplicates appearing beside her. The Stegosaurus' eyes widened when he realised what move she was using. "Oh, no! Not Ninja Attack!" He exclaimed before he was pelted by clones repeatedly.
"Why is she attacking us but not the T-Rex?" Tred asked Slander.
"Clearly they formed some kind of alliance." Slander said. "Which means all we have to do is destroy that alliance with some Spectral Punisher!" He said as she slashed the Move Card.
Max noticed Maximus' horns growing and acted fast. "Then I'll use Volcano Burst!"
Terry roared as his eyes and mouth caught fire, neither hurting him, before he lowered his head and sent the flames towards Maximus at the same time she fired her attack. Both attacks hit their targets and both Dinosaurs hit the ground.
"Terry, get up!" Diego and Alicia cried.
At the tower, Zoe watched as Paris still battled with Gigas. "Mr. Stanley, how's my sister?"
"This is bad. Our radar's been destroyed by the debris." Stanley said. "Blue guy, how's the other controls?"
"All are dead." Spiny replied. "I think she's fucked."
Running over to make sure the Spinosaurus was telling the truth, Stanley saw that he was unfortunately correct as all the other controls were in the same shape as the radar. "I'm afraid he's right. She's on her own now." Stanley told Zoe before Reese made another call.
"Tower, do you read me? This is Tango 2-7-5. Come in, over."
"Yes, Reese, I hear you. What's your situation?" Stanley asked.
"We can't stay up here much longer. Request permission for an emergency landing, over."
"Permission denied. I'm sorry, but the runway's still blocked." Stanley said.
"Tower, I'm almost out of fuel. I think I have a leak." Reese said with urgency.
"Jam it, quickly!" Spiny suggested.
On the plane, Rex started to wake up and overheard what Reese said. "Did you say our fuel is leaking?" He asked Reese.
"Oh, Rex. How are you?" Reese asked him.
"Not very good. It's like a bad dream, only it's real." He replied. "I feel kind of sick."
"Try to hang in there. We'll be on the ground soon." Reese told him.
"So, are Max, Rhysa and Zoe battling Dinosaurs down there?" Rex asked, noticing the change in the colour of the clouds.
"And did I just hear Spiny on the radio?" Tank asked.
"I think so. But we can't concern ourselves with that. Prepare for an emergency landing." Reese said, making the group tense.
Back with the fight, Gigas grabbed onto Paris' neck and started to shake it around like a rag doll. "Paris!" Zoe cried.
"I don't care what you have to do! Get that runway clear, do you understand?!" Stanley told some employees over the radio.
Zoe then remembered her secret weapon that could clear the runway in seconds. "Big Foot Assault." She whispered as she swiped the card.
Seisma rose up from behind Paris, roaring to signal her arrival. "Not you again." Gigas said as he backed away from Paris. Seisma walked slowly towards him before putting a foot on top of him and carding him just from the weight alone.
"Why, you big-" Maximus said before she leapt at the Seismosaurus to get revenge, who defeated her with one attack from her tail.
"How dare you!" Atrocious cried, and Tracker quickly took this opening and activated Dino Neck Bite Toss, tossing the Hybrid into Horn Plate and they both flew towards Seisma, the Seismosaurus then hit them with her neck and defeated the Hybrids.
"Uh, oh. I'm getting out of here." Armatus said as he slowly started backing up. The Megaraptor noticed this and activated her second Move Card.
Two small tornados appeared from behind her and picked up Armatus. "What the?!" The Stegosaurus said in surprise. The Megaraptor then leapt on top of Armatus and kept on repeatedly hitting him with her feet. This kept going on until she gave one last kick with both feet and defeated him.
"Was that?" Seisma started to ask.
"Hurricane Beat." Terry answered before telling her. "Seisma, we need you to move the rocket off the runway."
"Right away." Seisma said as she got into position. With one wack from her tail, the rocket was sent flying away, clearing the path.
"Yaaah!" The Hybro Gang screamed as they saw their rocket get tossed away like a piece of trash.
Zoe recalled Seisma and smiled at her work. "Awesome."
Louisa, Tred and Slander all went and picked up their cards. "Okay. Please tell me one of you has the Megaraptor Card, yes?" Cursula asked as she rejoined her teammates.
"We couldn't take her out. No thanks to you!" Slander accused Cursula.
"Yeah, where were you when we needed help!" Louisa yelled.
"W-what'd you mean?" Cursula asked nervously.
"'Oh, my! I have to go find my dream man! You three go chase the Dinosaur!' Sound familiar?" Tred rhetorically asked.
"So what?! Even cold-hearted villains need to have love in their lives, too, you know?!" She yelled at them before she started to weep. "We were meant to be."
"He must've snubbed her." Slander smugly whispered to Tred.
"I guess so." Tred replied with less smugness.
"At least things can't get any worse from when I launched that jet." Tregear said.
"So you're the ones that fired that jet at Diego's plane!" Alicia cried.
"Perhaps you should've kept that to yourself." White Slash said.
"Sorry to interrupt, but it's time for you to scream and run away now." Max told them. Turning around, the quartet saw Terry, Tracker, Paris, and the Megaraptor glaring and growling at them.
"Yaaah!" The quartet shook with fear before doing as they were told and hurried to their rocket. "You win this time, pipsqueaks. But we'll be back with an even bigger rocket!" Cursula declared.
"And sandwiches." Tred added before the capsule shut and the rocket flew away.
The group watched them fly away before noticing Reese's plane coming in. "Reese, good luck." Zoe prayed.
As Reese came closer, she noticed a lot more holes in the runway than just one. "Careful. The runway's got a bunch of huge holes in it." Ace told her.
"I know, Ace. But I don't have enough gas to go around again. So I've got to land it." She told the Carnotaurus. "We've got one shot. Brace yourselves!" She said as they got closer to the ground. She opened up the hatch, and the wheels came out.
"I just remembered something." Zoe whispered to herself as she pulled out another Move Card. "Please work. Metal Wing."
The Pteranodons appeared and began searching for the target. "Paris, what's going on?" Jettly asked, noticing a lack of enemy Dinosaurs.
"It's the plane! You need to help with its landing!" Paris told them.
"You heard her, men. Each of you grab a wing." Jettly told them.
"Yes, Alpha!" The trio quickly grabbed onto the plane with their feet: Tornado took the left wing, Flyer took the right, and Jettly himself grabbed onto the vertical stabiliser. Once they each got their grip, the Pterosaur trio spread their wings in an effort to slow down the plane's descent. As it approached one of the ditches, the Pteranodons crouched down and simultaneously flapped their wings in sync, giving the plane a boost and helped keep it slightly in the air until it was over the ditches, then they reared back up and started flapping their wings more quickly so the plane could come to a safe stop, just in front of another ditch.
"All right!" Max cheered.
"It worked!" Zoe beamed as she recalled the Pteranodons and Paris.
"Phew! What a relief." Reese said.
"That was a close one." Rex said.
Once they exited the plane, the rest of the team ran over to greet them. "You're back! Are you alright?" Max asked.
"It sure feels good to be able to stand on solid ground again." Rex said as he hugged his stomach.
"Wow! Did you throw up in the plane?" Chomp asked.
"No, he did just fine." Reese said, smiling at Rex to comfort him so he wouldn't get embarrassed.
"Oh, yeah." Rex agreed, not wanting to tell them about him fainting.
"Were you scared?" Max asked, noticing his behaviour.
"Um, a little." The blond admitted.
"Then I guess you, Rhysa and me will have to take the bus from now on." Chomp joked.
"Hey, Reese!" Zoe called out as she and Stanley ran towards them.
"Are you alright?" Stanley asked.
"Yes. Safe and sound." Reese told them. "I really appreciate the help. Thank you."
"Glad you made it down safe." Stanley said.
"Obviously, I was wrong about you, Mr. Stanley." Zoe said to him. "When you said you didn't like Animals, I didn't think that you could be trusted. But I was wrong 'cause you tried really hard when it came time to saving Reese and Rex."
"Just doing my job as a controller." Stanley said as he scratched the back of his head.
"So, go ahead." Zoe told her sister. "If you want to date him, I'm totally cool with it."
"Huh?" Reese and Stanley said in shock and embarrassment. "What are you talking about, Zoe? Mr. Stanley happens to be married." Reese told her.
"What?!" Zoe gasped.
"I knew it!" Spiny said.
"But I thought the reason you were so happy on the way here was 'cause you were going to see each other." Zoe said.
"Don't you remember me telling you I was happy because I enjoy flying?" Reese asked her.
"I guess I didn't believe you." Zoe admitted.
"Well, no harm done. But you need to learn to control your imagination." Reese told her.
"And as for you Reese, may I suggest that you brush your teeth and perhaps bathe a little more often, and stop butting in line?" Stanley told her, making Reese confused and Zoe nervous.
"What? I never butt in line. And I'm a fanatic when it comes to cleanliness." Reese said before putting two and two together. "Zoe?" She growled before realising her sister had made a run for it with her partners, a sheepish smile on her face that knew she was in trouble later. "Zoe! You get back here!"
"Maybe you could let her off the hook just this once." Rex told her. "After all, she did save us from crashing."
"That's true." Max agreed. "And we've got a new friend, too." The brunette then gestured to the Megaraptor approaching them.
The Megaraptor looked down and noticed Ace at Rex's feet. She gave him a low growl before turning into cards in Rex's hands. "What was that about?" Rex asked Ace.
"She wants to challenge us to a match." Ace told him. "Something about 'testing our element'."
"Wonder what she means?" Rex thought as he looked at the cards in his hands.
While this went on, Stanley just looked at the damage behind him. "Unbelievable. Is it really possible that all this damage was done by Dinosaurs?"
DK
Once they all returned to the lab, the match had begun. Both combatants were standing in a large field: Rex and Ace on one side, and Megan the Megaraptor on the other. The rest of the team was off to the side, watching in anticipation.
"All right, Megan! You wanted this duel! Let's see what you got!" Rex said as Ace charged forward.
Megan did the same and they both collided with each other. While they tried to knock the other down, Ace saw an opening and bit onto Megan's arm. The Megaraptor responded by not roaring in pain, but by throwing Ace across the field. "Ace!" Rex called out.
"I'm fine!" Ace replied. "She's a lot stronger than she looks." The Carnotaurus charged towards her again. But she was able to stop him by grabbing onto his horns. The Megaraptor then quickly let go and bit onto his tail and tossed him across the field again.
Megan started running towards him again. This time, activating Ninja Attack. "Ninja Attack? We'll counter with Ultimate Wind!" Rex told Ace.
Ace did as instructed and charged towards Megan like a bullet. The two Dinosaurs picked up speed before their attacks collided. Once they hit, both stopped on the other side. Megan stumbled a bit, but Ace collapsed and returned to his card. "Ace!" Rex cried with concern as he ran towards him. "You alright?"
The powers of the sanctuary allowed the card to reactivate on its own. "I'm fine." Ace said as he slowly got back up.
"You are strong." Megan said as she walked towards them. "But there are many more Dinosaurs yet to be found. And they will only be stronger."
"How do you know this?" Chomp asked.
"Before we were all separated across this planet, the ones who made us cards would hold tournaments to see which element was stronger." Megan explained as she recalled the events
Megan was standing on a podium, covered with medals. Next to her were Mole, Blaster, a three-horned Ceratopsian, a small Iguanodont, and a Sauropod with the gold medals around his neck.
"We had common champions of each element." Megan told them. "The Carcharodontosaurus was the strongest Fire Element, the Ankylosaurus was the strongest Earth Element, and I was the strongest Wind Element."
"What about Lightning, Grass, and Water?" Zoe asked.
"You haven't found them yet." Megan told her. "Nevertheless, since you were able to use an Ultimate Move, we seem to have new champions on the rise, it is the responsibility of the previous champs to train them."
"I mean, I could try." Blaster said, not really sure how to feel about the new position of being Terry's teacher.
"Did you not remember anything?" Megan asked. Blaster shook her head. "What about you?" She turned to Mole.
"They never asked." The Ankylosaurus shrugged.
"Well, now you'd better start getting to work on training the Tyrannosaurus and Saichania." Megan told them.
"Do I have to?" Mole whined.
"Yes!" Megan hissed at him, making the group laugh at Mole's reaction of shaking in fear. The training had begun.
"I think some training would be good for me too." Giganto said, as he started beating stuffed dummies of Hybrids except the one that looked like Atrocious. "I just need to overcome my fear. If I can defeat her by myself then maybe I can finally be free from her."
Rhysa then pulled out her camera and started recording the other Dinosaurs welcoming Megan into the Herd.
"Now we get to add Megan the Megaraptor to our Dinosaur Herd!"
Next time on Dinosaur King:
Spike: Loch Ness Monster has been spotted in these lakes
John: Any who see Neesie's ghost will be cursed
Cursula: Behold! Lady Nessie!
Max: Actually, that looks a lot more like an Amargasaurus
A/N: This chapter was a bit of a struggle to do, but I managed to do it and here it is. That being said, Giganto is still afraid of Atrocious, but he's now going to begin training to try and get stronger and ready to fight her in Double, All or Nothing.
See you all in the next chapter.
