"What do you mean you lost Louisa?!" Dr.Wu's furious voice rang all throughout Zeta Point as he scolded Cursula, Slander and Tred, who were sitting down like punished Dogs. "It's not like she's a set of car keys?!"
"I'm not really sure what happened." Cursula answered while flashing back to the events of the previous chapter. "But the last time we saw her, we were hanging onto the log as we went over the falls."
"But when we came up and swam to shore, she was just gone." Tred took over, remembering how the three of them climbed out of the river and looked around frantically for Louisa.
"We waited, but she never came out of the water." Slander finished the story.
"So you decided to leave my daughter behind?!" Dr.Wu asked furiously.
"You make it sound so cruel." Tred replied shamefully.
"I can't believe you could be so careless." Dr.Wu scolded them as he started pacing around on the platform he was standing on to make himself look taller to his minions. "Now what will I do? This is a disaster!"
"I know what you mean." Cursula told him. "Even though Louisa was basically worthless, I somehow miss her now that she's gone."
"Yeah, I mean she was also one of our best fighters." Slander added.
"It's a tragedy, really." Tred added. "To think that we've lost one of our own."
"Enough about Louisa!" Dr.N yelled at them. "The tragedy here is that you came back without the Torosaurus, and gave those brats another one of those lousy champions! Now I only have three losers left to punish for it! You've left me no choice but to teach you a very shocking lesson!" He exclaimed as he pulled out his electrical rods. "Hyaa!"
With just one touch, Cursula, Slander and Tred were all screaming as they were being electrocuted. "Waaaaa!" "Aaaaaaaaah!" "Eeeeeeeyow!"
In another room, White Slash and the other Hybrids were looking for any trace of Louisa with Rod and Laura's help. "Any sign of her?" She asked.
"So far it seems her Hybro Scanner is still active." Rod confirmed as he typed into his laptop. "And it has moved since our last check. That would mean that there is a very high chance Louisa is still alive. Problem is, I can't pinpoint the location she's in, so she could be anywhere."
(Intro Theme)
Louisa was indeed alive, but probably not for long as she walked through the arid deserts of Mexico. Her clothes were torn, her ruined jumper wrapped around her like a cape, and her body was extremely malnourished and dehydrated. "Where am I?" She asked herself. "And what am I doing stranded in the middle of a desert? The last thing I remember is that waterfall in Africa." She said as she started recollecting events. "I must have floated downstream for a long time and eventually washed out to sea, somehow without drowning as I'm positive I was far down due to all the water in my ears." She paused briefly to rub some water out of her right ear to prove her point before resuming whatever flashback she could muster. "I remember voices, and the sound of an aeroplane, then I was falling. The next thing I know, I'm lost and alone!" She exclaimed, presumably remembering that she was picked up by pirates at sea and then tossed out of an aeroplane into the desert.
"Maybe this is all just a dream, and Dad will be screaming at me any minute now." She thought to herself. As she continued on walking, she failed to notice a capsule and stepped on it, causing her to trip and the cards to be released. "Ow." The blonde girl groaned as she looked to see what tripped her. In front of her, landed a card. "Dinosaur Card?" She gasped as she looked for the capsule and quickly put the card in. "Yes! I got it!" She said as she put the capsule in a bag she had. "Ohh...ohh...ohh." She finally collapsed due to the lack of food and water and began to fade away.
As a wind blew past him, a card landed on a cactus and came to life. The Dinosaur was a yellow Hadrosaur, with purple stripes on the arms, back (where there were also small spines of the same colour from neck to tail), and one on the sides. It had a crest like Paris, Jax and Cameron but it was orange and looked more like a small bump than a cone. This Dinosaur was a Saurolophus.
As it appeared, it noticed Louisa and slowly approached her, sniffing the bag she had in her arms.
DK
"So there's a Dinosaur, and we can't go?" Max asked Speedy.
"The transporter is broken?" Terry asked.
"Unfortunately, yes." Speedy replied while examining the Dino Holder, which was just showing static.
"Errr! Stupid thing!" Spike exclaimed as he started hitting the counter it was plugged into. "There's a signal, but it's not coming through."
"Dad, what are you hitting it for?" Max asked, not wanting his Dino Holder broken for the fourth time.
"Oh, in the good old days, all it would've taken was a good pounding to fix it." Spike said.
"That doesn't work anymore, Dr. Taylor." Speedy said as she shoved him away. "Everything's all computers now."
"Why don't we have Reese or Rhysa's Cousins take a look at it?" Chomp requested.
"Reese isn't here today." Zoe reminded him as she and her team approached the group after arriving at the lab late.
"Neither are Diego, Alicia and Dora." Rhysa added as she and her Dinos entered the room.
"Why not?" Chomp asked her.
"They went to Mexico on a fossil hunt with Dr. Owen." Paris explained.
"With my Dad?" Rex asked.
"Yes, your father called me this morning from the excavation site to say he had come across some valuable Fossilised Eggs." Spike told them. "Uh, we thought it would be a good idea to send Reese, Diego, Alicia and Dora to go and bring them back."
"Aw, I wish I could've gone, too." Rex pouted, wanting to both spend time with his dad and see the Fossilised Eggs.
"Why couldn't he just send the rock over in a package or something?" Tank asked.
"He was afraid it might break during the transportation without someone properly supervising it." Spike explained.
"Can't argue with that." Rex agreed, knowing first hand how fragile Fossils were. He and Ace gave quick glares in Max and Terry's direction at the memory, which they either ignored or pretended to.
"Back to our main problem, we can't do anything without the transporter." Terry reminded them. "We can't even figure out where this new Dinosaur just appeared."
"And we can't get there and save it from the Hybro Gang." Giganto added.
"Come on, Speedy, can't you fix it?" Max asked the Utahraptor, having more faith in her than in his father.
"I hate to admit it, Max, but this is the one thing I forgot to ask Reese, Diego, Alicia and Dora about how it works." She shamefully admitted.
"And when it comes to computer know-how, I'm afraid I'm the Dinosaur here." Spike told them before quickly adding when he heard Speedy growling in offence to his joke. "Umm, figuratively speaking, of course."
"Maybe we should try calling Reese, Diego, Alicia and Dora." Zoe suggested.
"I don't think we can even make contact." Spike told her. "They're out in the middle of the desert somewhere."
"Come on! There's a Dinosaur out there!" Max pleaded, not wanting the Hybro Gang to get it because they couldn't even get there.
DK
In the deserts of Mexico, Reese and Rhysa's Cousins were in the back of a jeep with Dr. Owen, being driven by his new assistant, heading for the site with the Egg Fossils. They were wearing their outdoor clothes which for Reese contained a pink shirt, blue vest, white pants, and a sarong around her waist. Diego had dark blue shorts, a white t-shirt and a yellow cap, Alicia had dark green shorts, a violet t-shirt and a red cap and Dora had dark orange shorts, a light pink t-shirt and a purple cap.
At the moment, Reese was trying to get a signal from her phone to no avail. "I'm not getting a signal at all." She said to herself with concern before someone took her phone. "Huh?"
"You won't be needing this anymore, kiddo." Dr. Owen told him. "Out here, it's just you, me, Diego, his sisters, Patrick, and the cacti!" He exclaimed before throwing the phone over the side.
"What?" Reese gasped as she looked back at where her phone was tossed.
"Same for these things." He said as he took Reese's glasses and did the same.
"Oh, my glasses!" She exclaimed once again.
"There now. Isn't that better?" Dr. Owen asked her. "You miss out on a lot looking at life through those."
"Really? Then how come I don't see you throwing your glasses out of the jeep?" Reese asked angrily, very tempted to do that right now.
Dr. Owen casually reached into the sombrero he was wearing and pulled out her glasses and phone. "Ta-da! Gotcha, didn't I?"
"Uh..." Reese said as she tried to grab them, but Dr. Owen stopped her by moving the objects out of her grasp.
"Now, don't worry. I'll keep these safe for you until you, Diego and his sisters are ready to leave with the Fossils. If you need to make a call, you can do it from the village near the excavation site, okay?" Dr. Owen assured her.
"But without my glasses, everything's kind of fuzzy now." Reese said as she struggled to keep her vision clear.
"Come on Dr. Owen can't you at least give Reese her glasses back please?" Alicia asked.
"Yeah, 'cause without her glasses Reese can't see clearly." Dora added.
"Well, I guess we're lucky you're not driving this jeep!" Dr. Owen joked before laughing. "Ha-yaa!" He exclaimed as the jeep came to a sudden halt. "Patrick, why'd you stop?"
Patrick was a short man with an even smaller goatee: wearing a green and orange sombrero, blue shirt, and green cape. "Sorry, I had to." He responded.
"Oh?" Dr. Owen asked.
"Look, there's someone in the road." Patrick said, pointing to the unconscious body of Louisa. Everyone got out of the jeep to see if she was alive. "She's alive, but she's not looking so good." Patrick confirmed as he lifted Louisa's head up, small groans coming from the near dead girl.
"Aww." Diego said with sympathy as he grabbed a damp towel and put it on her dehydrated face in an attempt to get her some water while she was unconscious. "Can you hear me? Are you okay?"
The water from the towel was able to give Louisa a little bit of strength back, and she was able to open her eyes. "I'm.." She stopped when she saw Diego's face smiling at her, relieved that she wasn't dead. But Louisa didn't quite realise that. "Ohh, the light. I must be in heaven." She thought before collapsing back into unconsciousness. "Uhh..."
"Oh, no. We've got to get her out of the sun." Diego said urgently, using his head to block her face.
"Patrick, can you help me get her loaded into the jeep?" Dr. Owen asked his new assistant.
"Si!" Patrick nodded and helped Diego lift her up.
"Say, she sure does look familiar, but I can't seem to remember the place where I've seen her before." Dr. Owen said as he saw Louisa's face, being the one who saw her before. "Hmmm. Oh, well." He shrugged it off as probably just remembering a lookalike before helping the others carry Louisa.
DK
"Here they are, Reese, Diego, Alicia and Dora!" Dr. Owen said as a scientist handed her the egg once they reached the site, sealed in a glass, egg-shaped case. "I estimate these Dinosaur Eggs are over 70 million years old! Be careful taking it back to your lab."
"It's fantastic." Reese said as she grabbed the egg. "I'm sure Dr. Taylor will be thrilled."
"This is great." Diego said. "I'm sure Rhysa will love to see these when we get back."
"Excuse me, señor and señoritas?" Patrick asked as he came into the tent. "A place called the D-Lab sent a message for you to contact them as soon as you can."
"The D-Lab?" Alicia gasped. "Something must be wrong."
DK
Inside a building in the village, Louisa gasped as she finally came to her senses. "Aaaaah! Let me go!" She exclaimed before realising where she was. "Huh? Okay, so where have I ended up this time?" She then quickly noticed something was missing. "Agh! Where's my bag with the card?! Who took my precious bag?! It's gone!" She asked as she searched around the room frantically. "Could I be hallucinating?" She asked herself before flashing back to earlier. "No, I know I definitely had a card!" She exclaimed as she swung the windows open. "Huh?"
She stopped herself when she saw Diego walking past her with Reese, Alicia and Dora behind him and started fantasising. "Hey, that's the person that saved my life." She remembered before blushing red. "Ohh, he's so cool, and he's really real." Louisa broke out of her fantasy when she noticed him carrying something in his bag that looked to be in an oval shape. "He must have the Dinosaur Card capsule in that bag!" She realised as he and the three girls disappeared into another building. "But how could someone so kind also be a thief? How could the person who saved my life ever do such a thing?" She cried before noticing something in the air. "Hey, that looks like something that crazy Dr.N would invent." Realising it had to be a Hybro Craft, she jumped out the window and ran after it.
In the aircraft, Tred checked the coordinates to see if they had the right location. "This is where the Dinosaur should be." He told Slander and Cursula.
"Well that's good to hear." Slander said.
"All right, then take us down." Cursula told him. "You do know how to land this thing, don't you?" She asked.
"Cursula, Slander, Tred, it's me, Louisa!" Louisa yelled from below as she tried to get them to notice her while chasing after the machine. "Come back! Don't leave me again!"
"You know, I miss Louisa so much, I can practically feel her presence." White Slash said sadly.
"Me too White Slash, things just aren't the same without her." Horn Plate sighed.
"Would you 3 blockheads of blockheads just put that thing on the ground already?!" Louisa yelled at the top of her lungs.
"Well, look at the bright side." Cursula assured him. "Louisa was always hogging the rations. Now there'll be much more for the three of us to eat."
"I guess." Tred replied. "Well, prepare for landing." He said as he landed the craft.
The aircraft started to descend from the sky, right on top of Louisa. "Aah!" She screamed before getting crushed, but somehow survived.
"This is bad, now I'm hearing her voice." Tred said as the trio exited the aircraft.
"Let's get lunch." Cursula said before they heard the sounds of groaning when they got on the ground. "Was that your stomach rumbling?"
"It wasn't me, Cursula." Slander said. "Tred was that you?"
"I don't think so, but-" Tred said as they looked around for whatever it was. Maybe it was the Dinosaur.
"Down here." Louisa told them as she felt her back getting smashed.
"Louisa!" The trio and Hybrids exclaimed before kneeling down in front of her. "We were just talking about you!" Cursula said.
"All things were good!" Slander added.
"How ya doin', buddy?" Tred asked.
"You're still alive!" Cursula exclaimed as she grabbed her head, almost snapping her neck while tears almost came out of her eyes. "I actually almost sort of missed you, in a way."
"Yeah, us too, Louisa!" Slander and Tred added as they sat on whatever part of Louisa's back wasn't under the machine, namely her neck.
"We really thought you were gone!" The Hybrids cheered. "But we held onto the chance you were still alive!"
"Did you miss us?" Cursula asked while cradling her face before noticing her not responding. "What's the matter? You didn't really miss us, did you?"
"You're crushing my spine!" Louisa told them, already feeling her lungs failing and her back braking.
After moving the ship off of Louisa, she sat down and told them everything that happened. "So wait, you're saying you had a Dinosaur Capsule with the Dinosaur Card in it?" Cursula asked as she finished the story.
"Yes, but I don't have it here." Louisa shamefully admitted.
"Go get it." Cursula told her in an 'uh-duh' manner.
"There's just one problem." Louisa told them, embarrassment in her voice.
"Problem?" The trio repeated with confusion.
DK
Once she was able to get a signal, Reese called the lab and they explained the situation. "All right, so I take off the red connector?" Max asked her once she started giving instructions on what to do.
"Right. Unplug it, and then check it with the tester to see if it's short-circuited."
As they continued on discussing their situation, Louisa's head appeared through the window and saw the bag with the egg inside, or what he assumed to be the capsule. "OK, I have it off." Max told Reese. "I'm plugging it into the tester now. Hang on."
"Once you've done that, you'll need to check if there's been any circuits that are fried." Diego said.
"Okay Cuz." Rhysa said.
From atop a cliff, Cursula, Slander and Tred watched and Louisa looked through the window, the former lying on her stomach and moving one of her legs in boredom. "What is she doing down there?" Cursula asked in frustration.
"She said that she left the capsule in that house and she just had to go get it." Tred reminded her.
"Well I wish she'd hurry up." Slander said. "The sooner she gets it the sooner we can get out of here before the brats show up."
On the balcony, Louisa was panicking as she tried to figure out what to do. "If I told them the person who saved my life has the Dinosaur Capsule, they wouldn't understand." She thought, not wanting Diego to get hurt over what she now assumed was all a misunderstanding. "There's no telling what they'd do to him! Somehow I've got to get it back myself."
"I don't know. I'm sensing there's a problem here." Cursula said with suspicion. They then heard a low rumble behind them. "Huh?" Turning around, the three saw the Saurolophus right behind them. "Waaaaaaah!" The trio screamed as they leapt into the air before running down the cliff. "I was right!" Cursula exclaimed as the Saurolophus started to chase them.
Thankfully for the whimpering trio, the cliff they were on was right above a car junkyard and they were able to hide easily amongst the rubbish. "In here!" Cursula urged as they quickly hid in a small van. The Saurolophus stopped with his stomach right on top of the van, and thankfully he didn't catch their scent as he roared in anger from the possible thieves escaping him.
Back at the D-Lab, everyone was working to figure out what went wrong with the transporter, with Rex searching through the system on a laptop. "I found it." He told the others. "There's definitely a short circuit in the R-3 block."
"Good." Reese said before glaring at Spike. "Doctor, there wouldn't be any chance that you spilled your coffee anywhere near the board, is there?"
"I might have done that, yes." Spike shamefully admitted as he felt Speedy's breath behind him and one of her claws in his shoulder.
"Not again." Reese sighed.
"That's like the third or fifth time you've done that Dr. Taylor." Alicia sighed.
"So this whole thing is your fault?" Speedy asked as she started to tense in anger.
"Uh, perhaps." Spike said with wide eyes, hoping he wouldn't make it worse.
"Now what?" Zoe asked, shifting back to the main topic. "Is there any way to fix it, Reese?"
"Yeah Cousins." Rhysa said. "We need to find the Dinosaur fast, and knowing the Hybro Gang, they've probably already gotten a head start on us."
"You'll have to replace the motherboard." Reese told them.
"No!" Spike exclaimed for some reason.
"And I think we have a spare one in the system control room." Speedy remembered.
"Right. I'll go get it." Rex said as he walked off with his team.
"Make it hasty Rex!" Tracker called.
"How come you're not wearing your glasses?" Paris asked once he was gone, seeing as they had nothing else to do while they waited. "You look really different without them."
"Oh. I didn't even notice, but she's right" Chomp said as he just now noticed Reese without her glasses along with the other boys there.
"Maybe you all need glasses." Zoe muttered with embarrassment, seeing as she noticed right away.
"Ha, ha, ha! Seeing Reese without her glasses is like seeing a Dalmatian without any spots." Spike said, smiling at his own comparison
"Huh?" Everyone said with confusion
"It looks like Reese, but it's not quite Reese." Spike explained.
"You're right about that!" Spiny agreed.
"What are you talking about, Doctor?" Reese annoyingly asked.
"I'm saying if you have a Dalmatian and you lose the spots, it's still a dog, but it's not a Dalmatian anymore." Spike explained. "Are you following?"
Before anyone could answer, Louisa burst into the room. "Sorry if I'm interrupting anything, But I really need to talk to you." She walked over to Diego and fluttered her eyelids at him.
"What the hell is she doing?" Spiny asked as they watched through the laptop's camera.
"I think she's trying to court him." Chomp answered.
"It's of the utmost importance." Louisa finished.
"Thanks, but I'm a little busy right now." Diego said, not even the slightest bit moved by the flirting. "I'm really glad to see that you're feeling better." He smiled at that fact.
"I didn't know any other way to express my gratitude to you for saving my life!" Louisa told him as she gave him a rose.
"Oh, how nice." Diego said as he took the rose, unused to such gestures of affection. "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Louisa said.
"Who's with you?" Rhysa asked, ruining the mood.
"Oooh!" Tensing with annoyance at the interruption, Louisa looked and saw the D-Team on the other side of the screen, still confused by what was going on. "Ooh, not you again!"
"Hey!" Rhysa exclaimed as she recognised her.
"What's that goon doing down there?" Speedy asked as she shoved her way to the front.
"Ohh, quick, turn that thing off!" Louisa exclaimed as she covered herself in drapes.
"What's the matter?" Diego asked, not realising who he was talking to.
Realising that her cover was blown, Louisa decided to do the one thing any villain would do. "Now, for my get away! This is mine!" She said as she took Diego's bag and pulled out the egg. "Huh? What's this?"
"It's a Fossilised Dinosaur Egg." Diego answered. "What did you think was in there?"
"Then where's the bag I had with me?" Louisa asked, starting to get worried.
"Your bag?" Dora asked.
"Yes."
"You must mean that stuff we found in the desert." Reese told her. "It was close to where we found you, but we thought it was just trash, and I think it got thrown away."
"Oh, no!" Louisa exclaimed. "I can't explain why, but I've got to find that bag!"
"We'll help you look." Diego said as the five of them left, still not knowing who this really was with them.
"No, Reese, stay away from her!" Speedy screeched at the screen. She still had a massive hatred for Louisa after she brainwashed her at the TV station.
"No Cousins, stay away from her!" Rhysa cried. "She's dangerous!"
"I've got the motherboard!" Rex said as he reentered the room and noticed everyone getting tense. "Don't get too excited." He mumbled at their apparent anger.
"The Hybro Gang's in Mexico with Reese, Diego, Alicia, Dora and your dad!" Max explained to him
"Oh, no way!" He gasped and quickly ran over to help install the motherboard so they could get there quickly and save them both.
DK
Louisa ran to where the junkyard was, only to stop in her tracks once she saw the Saurolophus. "Oh!"
"Whoa, a Saurolophus!" Dora gasped as she and the others joined up with her.
"You're right sis. I can tell because of its small bump like crest on its head!" Diego said.
"Where's it going?" Louisa asked as the Dinosaur walked over to another pile.
"It seems to be looking for something." Reese answered.
"That's just like the Dinosaur card I found." Louisa thought as she watched the Saurolophus search the pile.
Inside the van, Cursula, Slander and Tred were starting to have trouble breathing. More so because they were crammed together than from being in a hot car in the desert. "You'd better open this thing up, or get your foot out of my face!" Cursula mumbled at Tred.
"I would if Tred could get off me!" Slander grumbled.
"How can I do that? I can't even move!" Tred reminded her before they felt the van shake. "Ooh! The Dinosaur must be back!"
Sure enough, the Saurolophus' nose was right at the tip of the van before he knocked it away. "Whoa!"
The reason he did so wasn't because he knew Tred, Slander and Cursula were in there. Instead, it was to reach the bag right behind it. "My bag!" Louisa exclaimed.
The Saurolophus grabbed the bag in his mouth, but the capsule fell out of the bag and landed in Louisa's hands. "Come on! Let's go!" Diego urged as they ran away from the Saurolophus, who was now chasing them, noticing that Louisa had the capsule.
"It's coming after us!" Louisa exclaimed. "We'll never be able to outrun it!"
"This way!" Diego said as he took Louisa's hand and led her in a different direction, forcing the Saurolophus to slow as he made the turn after them.
"Agh!" Louisa exclaimed at the sudden action.
In the van, Cursula had enough. "Fine, I'll get us out of here." She said as she pulled out her Scanner.
Tred and Slander immediately knew what she was planning. "I don't think that's a good idea!" Tred warned her. Cursula ignored him and summoned Gigas right inside of the van. Just like the last time she summoned him in a tiny, enclosed space, the van exploded and the three were sent flying. "Waa!" They screamed while Gigas roared.
Louisa, Diego, Alicia, Dora and Reese hid behind a rock, hoping the Saurolophus wouldn't find them. As the Saurolophus approached them, Gigas stepped on top of the rock and roared at him. "Surprise, mother fucker." He said as he tackled him away and they started to brawl. First he tried to bite him, which he responded by using his shoulder to push him back. Then, as he tried to leave, Gigas pounced on him like a Wild Cat.
"SPECTRAL ARMOUR ACTIVATE!"
Gigas soon had his armour on and was ready to finish the Saurolophus off. "Prepare to be defeated Saurolophus!" Gigas roared.
But Gigas was wrong. The Saurolophus started glowing too, but green as in a dimension of grass, a circle of grass appeared around the Saurolophus 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 Saurolophus reared up on his hind legs, roared at the sky as he slammed his feet back to the ground and posed as grass sprouted all around the dimension.
Once his armour was on the fight resumed.
As Louisa, Diego, Alicia, Dora and Reese took a breather, the capsule opened and the card inside fell out. "Hey." Louisa said as she picked up the card.
"What? A Saurolophus Card?" Alicia said in shock.
"But it's already out here." Louisa said.
"So it's a second card, then." Diego realised.
"Yeah, I guess so." Louisa agreed.
DK
At the D-Lab, Spike and Speedy were finally able to get the transporter working again and the map appeared on the screen with a blinking light in Mexico. "Yes!"
"It's in Mexico!" Ace said as he looked at the map.
"Well, that explains why the Hybro Gang is there." Max said.
"We've got to go help Reese!" Zoe said.
"And my Cousins!" Rhysa said.
"All right. Are you kids ready to head out?" Spike asked them.
"Not so fast." Speedy told them as she blocked their way onto the teleporter. "If Reese and Rhysa's Cousins are in trouble, then I'm coming with you."
"Are you sure?" Paris asked her. "I mean, you're not the most powerful-"
"I'm coming and that's final!" Speedy screeched at her, silencing any further rebuttals.
Chomp tensed when he saw Paris being threatened but stopped himself before he did anything. "What on earth was that about?" He asked himself as they teleported away.
DK
Back in Mexico, the Saurolophus had just been knocked down by Gigas' tail as the Tyrannosaurus went in to finish the job. At this moment, the D-Team arrived. "Look, there's the Dinosaur, guys!" Terry quickly pointed out.
"It's a Saurolophus!" Stiggy and Stigga added, identifing the Dinosaur.
"Yeah, but where's Reese?" Zoe asked as she looked around frantically for her sister.
"And my Cousins?" Rhysa asked, mimicking Zoe's actions.
Rex heard footsteps approaching and saw Dr. Owen and Patrick running towards them. "Oh, Dad!"
"Rex, what are you doing here?" Dr. Owen asked before they noticed the battle below them. "Oh, my!"
"Agh, a live Dinosaur!" Patrick screamed in horror, not knowing about the D-Team's secret. Things only got worse when he saw Speedy with them. "Agh, another Dinosaur!"
"Relax, buddy. I'm on your side." Speedy assured him.
This didn't really help Patrick's fears. "Agh, it talks."
"Yeah, Patrick, there's some stuff about my son that I might have glimpsed over telling you about." Dr. Owen admitted, embarrassingly scratching the back of his neck.
"How could you forget to tell me about the live talking Dinosaurs?!" Patrick yelled at his boss.
"Well, we were having so much fun, and it's not like we cross paths with them much anyway." Dr. Owen tried to explain himself.
Getting back onto his feet, the Saurolophus hit Gigas in the face with his tail. The Tyrannosaurus responded to this by grabbing the Hadrosaur by the neck, dragging him back to the ground. "Chomp, you need to get in there save Saurolophus!" Max told him as he recalled the Triceratops.
"DINO SLASH! TRICERATOPS, ROAR! ELEMENT BOOSTER! DINO TECTOR ON!"
Once Chomp landed, he charged down the cliff at such high velocity he knocked Gigas away like a bowling pin, allowing the Saurolophus to get back up. "What?" Cursula gasped as she saw the D-Team right beside her, along with a certain pest she remembered from New York. "Can't I go anywhere without those brats?" She asked as she pulled out her Scanner and a Move Card. "I won't let them ruin this. Go, Magma Blaster!"
Max heard this and got his counterattack ready. "Got get 'em, Chomp! Lightning Strike!"
Both Dinosaurs charged up their attacks at the same time, Chomp gathering lightning and Gigas gathered magma, before they both fired at the same time. The lightning cut through the magma and struck Gigas dead centre. "That was close!" Chomp panted as he went in to finish Gigas off.
With his attacker distracted, the Saurolophus continued on his search. He looked down and noticed Louisa, Rhysa's Cousins and Reese in front of him. "Oh, no! It spotted us!" Louisa exclaimed before they ran away again, the Saurolophus chasing after them. "Why does this Dinosaur keep chasing after us?"
"I don't know, but it's gaining on us!" Reese cried.
"Do you think I could be because of that card you have?" Diego asked her.
"Uhh-aah!" Louisa was too busy pondering that she didn't look where she was running and tripped on the ground. The card flew out of her hands and landed right onto a cactus before glowing green.
The Saurolophus let out a roar as a female Saurolophus came out of the green. Unlike the male, her crest was a blueish-green.
The female Saurolophus started glowing too, but green as in a dimension of grass, a circle of grass appeared around the Saurolophus as a bright green circle appeared on her forehead, grass then came bursting out of her sides as one green circle appeared in either side of her, then the one on her forehead shone brightly as shoulder blade green coloured armour appeared 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 forehead like a helmet, the Saurolophus reared up on her hind legs, roared at the sky as she slammed her feet back to the ground and posed as grass sprouted all around the dimension.
Then the two approached each other and began to nuzzle each other.
The others saw this and watched as the two reunited, even Gigas and Chomp stopped their battle to watch the reunion. "No way! He has his mate!" Paris gasped.
"No way, there are two Saurolophuses!" Giganto gasped.
"Well, those two obviously know each other." Cursula commented.
"They could be a pair of lovers." Slander wondered.
"Or it could be love at first sight." Tred pointed out as the pair started nuzzling cheeks, having thought they'd never see each other again.
"That's so sweet." Louisa said, never imagining seeing such emotions from Dinosaurs.
"Yes, it is." Diego agreed, causing Louisa to blush.
"Okay! Enough of these lovebirds!" Gigas roared as he charged towards the pair in an attempt to defeat them both while they were distracted with each other.
"Leave them alone!" Chomp roared as he ran after him, determined to not have the Tyrannosaurus ruin the happy moment.
Max was in agreement. "Chomp, Lightning Spear!" He called out as he swiped the Move Card. Chomp started getting filled with lightning before tackling Gigas into the air and stabbing him in the groyne with a spear of lightning.
The Tyrannosaurus twitched in pain before returning to his card and drifting from the sky. "That should teach you!" Chomp said bitterly as he landed before noticing his tone change again. "There I go again getting worked up. Why is that?"
"My poor Gigas!" Cursula cried as she went to pick up the card.
This was a mistake as she ran into Dr. Owen's field of vision. "Oh, my lovely Cursula!" He gasped before running after her. "Come back, my dear! You came all the way to Mexico to find me?! Waaaaiitttt!" Turning around, Cursula saw him speeding down the mountain towards her.
"Aah!" The yellowette woman screamed as she picked up her pace and ran past Slander and Tred, who were going after the card as well, to avoid the love crazed doctor.
"Cursula!" Dr. Owen called out as they got off the slope and ran across the plains. "Why are you running from me when you should be whispering sweet words of love into my ear like those two Saurolophus back there?"
"I already told you it would never work out!" Cursula yelled back at him, clearly having gained a massive disliking for Rex's father since she last saw him. "We're way too different, not to mention you're too old for me!"
"But age means nothing so long as there's love!" Dr. Owen replied. "We're meant for each other!"
"Oh, Dad." Rex sighed in embarrassment, alongside Patrick, who was also embarrassed by his boss while the others just watched with confusion.
"Slander! Tred, don't just stand there! Call out Maximus and Armatus and get those two Saurolophuses before this nut catches me!" Cursula ordered them.
"Oh, coming right up!" Tred replied as he picked up Gigas and switched cards.
"We're on it, Cursula!" Slander said. "White Slash, come on out as well."
"HYBRO SLASH!"
"STRIKE 'EM OUT, TRICERATOPS! CLOBBER 'EM, STEGOSAURUS!"
"TAKE THEM DOWN, INDOMINUS REX!"
"SPECTRAL ARMOUR ACTIVATE!/HYBRO BOOSTER! HYBRO TECTOR ON!"
The trio landed and immediately caused the Saurolophuses to notice them. "Maximus, Armatus, beat those two up and get them back into their cards!" Tred told them.
"And White Slash make sure that you secure their cards!" Slander ordered the Hybrid.
"Let's do this, babe!" Armatus roared before charging forward.
"Don't call me that!" Maximus replied before doing the same.
"Focus you two!" White Slash roared.
The two Saurolophus knew they couldn't handle those three and moved out of the way while Chomp stopped Maximus in a shoulder pushing struggle. "Leave them alone!" He yelled while struggling
"You look like you've been in quite the fight. Why don't you lie down?!" Armatus said before ramming into Chomp, allowing Maximus and White Slash to literally walk over him and defeat him.
"Chomp!" Paris exclaimed in horror before a look of fury appeared in her face. "Zoe, get me down there!"
Zoe was briefly shocked at the tone Paris gave her but obliged. Speedy gave out a loud screech as she ran down to help. Rhysa then got Stiggy and Stigga ready seeing the duo charging forward.
Sadly for the Saurolophuses, they were caught by the duo and defeated in seconds. But before Maximus and Armatus could even move and White Slash could put her feet on the cards, Speedy landed behind them with another loud screech, Stiggy and Stigga appeared with looks that could kill and Paris appeared next to them in a green glow, looking furious. All four had their armour on as well and roared at their opponents. "Oh, hey, Speedy. Been a while since we last met." Armatus said to her nervously, not liking the look he was being given.
"Don't think I haven't forgotten what you and your friends did to me." She said as she leapt up onto the air. "I've felt your Move Card, now feel mine! Atomic Bomb!" She yelled as she descended at such a high speed that Armatus was struck right on the head and was engulfed by an explosion. Speedy leapt out of the explosion while Armatus was defeated as his card floated out of the cloud.
"Rainbow Charge!" Rhysa yelled, activating a Move Card.
"How dare you ruin such a romantic moment!" Stiggy roared.
"We won't ever forgive you for that!" Stigga roared.
"So here's what you get for ruining it!" The two yelled as they charged and struck the Indominus square on the chest and defeated her instantly.
"Stomping Hammer!" Zoe called out as she activated the Move Card.
"My turn!" Paris exclaimed as she ran to Maximus and knocked her down with her tail before leaping into the air and slamming into her. "Don't you ever do that to Chomp again!"
"And why do you care?" Maximus asked weakly before getting carded.
"Well, I-" Paris stopped herself. Why did she care so much? Sure Chomp was one of her best friends. But would his defeat really warrant that much anger?
"Maximus!" Tred cried as he grabbed the card.
"Oh Armatus!" Slander cried as he grabbed the card.
"Poor White Slash." Louisa said before noticing Diego running off. "Huh?"
Max had the same idea as he ran to one of the cards and picked up the female. "Awesome! We got a Saurolophus Card!" He cheered before realising something was missing. "But where's the other one? There should be two of 'em."
It was Diego who found the male's card. But before he could pick it up, he was stopped by Louisa. "Hold it!" She told him as she picked up the card. "I'll get that, if you don't mind." She told him before handing it to him. "Here."
"Huh?" Diego was confused by her action.
"Why are you giving us the card and Booster?" Alicia asked.
"You could easily just take them and run away." Dora added.
"Even I know that two lovers shouldn't be separated." She told them. "I've already accepted the fact that you could never be mine. But these Dinosaurs were meant to be together."
"Ohh." Reese said in reply.
"But it's more to do with me repaying the debt I owe you." Louisa said to Diego. "You saved my life in the desert and for that I'll allow you to take the card."
Then she could hear voices behind her.
"Diego! Alicia! Dora!" "Here we come!" "Don't worry!" The D-Team said as they ran over to where they were.
"Take it now before I change my mind!" She said before running off, thankfully before the D-Team arrived.
"Reese, are you alright?" Zoe asked her sister once they reached her.
"Yeah." She replied.
"Cousins! Are you three okay?" Rhysa asked.
"Yeah, we're fine." They responded.
"Don't leave me!" Dr. Owen cried. "Cursula, waaaiiittt!" He yelled as the woman rode away on a Donkey.
"Climb on! We've got to get out of here!" She told her partners, stopping briefly so they could climb onto the Donkey's back.
"Are you sure?" Tred asked.
"But he loves you, Cursula!" Slander reminded her.
"Wait for me!" Louisa cried, hopping onto the Donkey's back.
"Hiyo, Silver!" Was Cursula's response as they ran off into the desert.
"It's actually brown." Tred corrected her.
Dr. Owen stopped chasing them and cried at his failure. "Ohohohohoho!"
"Oh, Dad." Rex sighed as he ran up to comfort him.
"You're lucky that creep from the Hybro Gang didn't try to hurt you." Speedy said to Reese and Rhysa's Cousins as they watched the quartet ride off.
"That was the Hybro Gang?" Diego asked in surprise.
"I would never hurt anyone unless they provoked me!" Louisa shot back from miles away. "And who are you calling a creep?"
"At least she didn't call you old." Cursula said as they got into the aircraft and flew away.
"For some strange reason, I feel like we forgot something important." Tred said.
"Oh yeah, I've got that weird feeling too." Slander said.
It didn't take long for Cursula to realise what was missing. "What?! Don't tell me you don't have the Saurolophus Cards?!"
"Okay, we won't tell you!" Slander and Tred replied fearfully.
Diego smiled as they flew away. "Wow. For a crook, she was pretty good at remembering a debt."
"I'm sorry, my son." Dr. Owen apologised. "I wanted to get you a new mom, but I failed again."
"It's okay." Rex assured him, secretly happy he failed.

At Zeta Point, things went about as well as you'd expect. "You come back from Mexico with nothing?!" Dr.N yelled at Cursula, Slander and Tred exactly like before. "No Dinosaur?! No maracas?!"
"Well, we did manage to bring back Louisa." Cursula said quietly.
"Yeah? I only see three dimwits here." Dr.Wu replied.
"Huh?" The trio's eyes widened when they realised he was correct. "But she was here with us just a minute ago."
"Where'd she go this time?" Slander asked.
Louisa was in-fact sitting on the beach, looking at the sunset and thinking what she did back in Mexico. "I'm a girl of my word, and when someone saves my life I must repay their debt." Looking up at the orange sky, she saw both the Saurolophuses nuzzling each other. "But the next time we meet things shall be different."

At the D-Lab, the D-Team were just heading home after integrating Romeo and Juliet, the two Saurolophus, into the sanctuary. All this time, Chomp kept on feeling something urging him to say something to Paris. Something in his chest. And it wasn't his stomach.
He got that feeling again when he saw her about to leave with Zoe and Spiny. "Hey, Paris!" He called out to her. "Can I speak to you for a minute!"
"Sure." Paris replied as she walked over to him. "What's up?"
"I have something I need to ask you." Chomp told her. "Are you experiencing some weird feelings as of late?"
"What'd you mean?" She tilted her head in confusion.
"I mean, like, your heart starts beating faster whenever someone comes to your mind." Chomp clarified, pawing his foot on the floor.
"I guess so. Why? Is it happening to you, too?"
"Yeah, ever since we first met in Egypt I've had that feeling when I think about you." Chomp said. "And over time, I guess it just kept on growing until I'm getting what I'm feeling now."
"I've experienced feelings like that too ever since we first met." Paris said as she laid down.
Chomp laid down next to her before resuming their conversation. "I saw how you handled Maximus today. You were awesome."
"She had it coming for what she did to you." Paris replied.
"Yeah. You have my back, and I have yours." Chomp said. "We make a great team."
"We do." Paris replied before sighing. "Chomp, remember what Spiny said about our future at the amusement park?"
"The part where we're going to have to mix-breed to continue our species? Yeah, I remember."
"And you've noticed how Armatus acts with Maximus sometimes, correct?"
"I do." Chomp replied, not seeing where this was going.
"Do you think...we could be like that?"
"What are you-" Chomp was cut off by Paris nuzzling his cheek affectionately. "Paris."
"I think I know what our problem is. We're in love." Paris said as she stopped the nuzzle.
"But are you sure you'd want to be with me?" Chomp asked, starting to blush furiously as he knew she was right.
"There's no Dinosaur I'd rather be with for the rest of my life than you. I love you, Chomp." Paris said as she nuzzled him again.
"And I love you too, Paris." Chomp replied as he this time returned the nuzzle.
Rhysa, not knowing about Chomp and Paris' new relationship, and thinking it was just a friendly nuzzle, pulled out her camera and started recording the others welcoming Romeo and Juliet into the Herd.
"With our new friends Romeo and Juliet the two Saurolophuses joining our Herd. We've now rescued 73 different Dinosaurs! Looks like there's no stopping the D-Team!"
Next time on Dinosaur King:
Cursula: We're looking for a crystal skull. Have you seen it?
Elder: No mortals have ever come back alive!
Max: I don't want to hurt you
Pawpaw: Then don't follow my friends, bad guy
Min: We will protect our friends…
Mine: Until you run away enemies.
Mi: That's right!
Brontikens: His kindness will only get him killed one day
White Slash: If they truly wanted to be in our herd, then they shouldn't have let their emotions get the better of them.
A/N: I just want to clear one thing now, Louisa doesn't love Diego, she was just repaying him for saving her from death in the desert.
But don't worry, once I introduce the real Alpha Gang when I know the time is right, the Zander and Reese ship will be in full swing.
Temple Tempest will take a while to do as there'll be three more new Move Cards including the one with the Minmis. Have fun!
