The morning sun shone through the windows of the D-Lab's sanctuary, gracing the Dinosaurs that lived there with its morning beauty. A chorus of yawns filled the air as many of the inhabitants started to wake up to begin their day. Others tried to tune out the noise and continue to sleep for a little bit. But there was one who was able to sleep through almost anything; Mole. And this proved to be something that a certain Dinosaur wanted to test out.
Before the sun was even fully out, Rio and Super were dragging a raft with a sleeping Mole on it up the cliff that the Pteranodons and other Pterosaurs sleep on. "Are you sure that this is a good idea?" Super whispered to his best friend as he pulled a rope that was attached to the raft.
"Oh, hell no. This is so going to bite me in the ass later, brah." Rio responded as he pushed the raft, being a lot less effective than the Supersaurus.
"Then why are you doing this?" Super asked as they reached the top of the cliff. "And why am I helping you with this?"
"Because it's gonna be hilarious." Rio snickered. "Besides, I'm a more 'in the now' kind of guy. As for why you're helping me, you knew you'd submit to me sooner or later so you just saved yourself the trouble." They continued on pushing and pulling the raft until they reached the pond that was at the top of the cliff. "Alright, now push him in gently."
Super did as told and gently nudged the raft into the water. "Someone's going to die from this." He warned Rio as the raft drifted away.
"I've jumped off this thing many times. He'll be fine." Rio assured the Supersaurus
"That's not what I'm worried about." Super said as they watched the raft drift closer and closer to the edge of the cliff. And what was at the edge? A waterfall.
"Three. Two One." Rio and Super whispered before Mole went over the edge.
"'Snore.' What's going on?" Was all Mole could say as he started to wake up before going over the edge. "Aaaah!" He screamed as he fell down the massive waterfall before landing in the water, with the raft landing on top of him.
Rio was rolling on the ground in laughter from his successful prank. Even Super couldn't help but chuckle at the grump's misfortune. "Okay, I admit, that was pretty funny." Super said in between chuckles. "But he's still gonna kill you for this."
"Ha, ha, ha! That is if he survived!" Rio joked.
Super, however, didn't catch the joke. "What?! Are you saying we killed him?!"
"Calm down, brah, he's fine. Look." Rio assured his friend as he pointed down below them.
Down below, Mole crawled out of the lake that the waterfall ran into and glared at the top of the cliff. "You'd better sleep with both eyes open, you big-nosed fart!" He yelled at Rio before finding a new place to sleep, if he could return to sleep after that stunt.
With their work done, the duo started to descend down the cliff. "I still fail to see why this was necessary." Super said to Rio.
"Dude, he's a grump. Them getting pranked on always leads to good comedy." Rio said.
"But he's not some cartoon character that doesn't feel pain. He's a Dinosaur like you and me." Super pointed out.
"Calm down, brah, it's not like I make a habit of dangerously pranking you guys." Rio reassured his friend again.
"Last week, you caused everyone to think that there were Mosquitos in the building." Super shivered at the thought of Mosquitos.
"All I did was say that I hope that no Mosquitoes hide in here for the winter. I did not know they hibernate." Rio retorted as he turned around and walked backwards. "Super, buddy, relax. I'm not going to go on one of those pranking sprees that end with the prankster getting his just desserts."
"Too late for that." Super said as he looked ahead.
"I don't know what you're talking abo-uuuuuuuuuut!" Rio screamed as he accidentally fell into a pit on the path.
As the Altirhinus groaned, Super stuck his head down the hole until he was face to face with his friend. "This was just a coincidence." Rio told him.
"Sure it is." Super said as he pulled his head out and left to meet with Seisma. Rio could get out on his own.
(Intro Theme)
There was the sound of a machine beeping as several Dinosaurs waited outside two large troughs for their breakfast, one for Carnivores and one for Herbivores. A chute opened up and plants and meat fell out of the respective chute and into the troughs, signalling that breakfast had arrived.
Immediately once the food landed in the troughs, there was a mini-stampede as tons of hungry Dinosaurs rushed to get the first bite. "Outta the way!" Sweet Teeth roared as she knocked Luckie and Delta out of the way with her head before grabbing the largest piece of meat.
She walked away to eat it in peace, making sure to keep her head up and away from the Smaller Carnivores that were snapping at the meat like they were hatchlings. "Thanks!" Allison said as she leaped up to the Mapusaur's mouth and grabbed the piece of meat and ran off.
"What?" Sweet Teeth blinked as she slowly took in what happened. "Hey! That's mine, you slut!"
"Slut?" Allison repeated, feigning being hurt by the insult. "Now that's uncalled for. Besides, you're not exactly very lady-like yourself with knocking everyone out of the way just so you'd get the first steak."
"Don't even try to bring manners into this, hypocrite!" Sweet Teeth roared before she lunged at the Allosaurus.
Allison tossed the meat aside and was about to do the same, but stopped when she saw the meat land under a very familiar orange foot. "Aw, crap."
Sweet Teeth stopped her attack and saw Blaze standing on the meat, glaring at the two of them. "It seems since you two fight over meat like hatchlings, it seems you'll have to be treated like such." The Acrocanthosaurus told the two Carnivores.
"No! Please, not that!" "It'd be so embarrassing!" The two Carnivores pleaded.
"Then I suggest you start acting your ages or you'll be getting the hatchling's share." Blaze warned them before she grabbed the meat in her mouth and walked away. After having to deal with another stupid fight among the Carnivores in the herd, she needed something to ease her tension.
"Oh Giganoto!" Blaze said, seeing the Giganotosaurus eating with the Atrociraptors. "Glad to see you."
"Why? Is something wrong?" Giganoto asked.
"I just got a message from Giganto. You're to head outside a.s.a.p."
"Outside? Why?"
"I don't know, only things he said that it was a matter of the utmost importance and you and the quints are to get there as soon as possible." Blaze said.
"Understood!" Giganoto said, grabbing his breakfast in his mouth, and the Atrociraptors mimicked their father's actions. "We're on our way." And Giganoto and the Atrociraptors started heading to the exit of the sanctuary.
She placed the meat under a tree and was about to take a bite when she saw the doors to the sanctuary open. Out of the door came Terry, Chomp, and the rest of the D-Team's Dinosaurs. She also noticed as Amy was with them, carrying a glass box.
Her heart started to flutter when she saw Ace. Ever since she joined the team, she and Ace spent a good amount of time together. Originally it was her way to make up for being such a horrible leader to him, but over time she began to feel a connection to the Carnotaurus. Maybe it was his calm and responsible personality, or maybe it was their size differences. And when Chomp and Paris revealed their relationship to the rest of the herd, she knew that she had to be feeling the same about Ace. The problem was she wasn't sure if the Carnotaurus felt the same way, as he didn't really show it at all.
Picking up the meat, she walked over to Ace, who was currently looking for a spot to lie down. "Hey, Ace!" She called out to the Carnotaurus.
"Al-I mean, Blaze!" Ace said in response as he walked over to her, still getting over her new name after years of calling her Alpha.
"I brought you this." She said as she offered him the meat.
"Thanks." Ace replied as he placed a foot on the meat and began to feast.
"So, why're you here? Aren't you usually at school with the kids?" Beta asked.
"Still on winter break." Ace told her as he ate a chunk of the meat. "The reason we're here is because they went to a ski resort for a couple days and the place doesn't allow pets."
"Ah." Blaze nodded in understanding.
It didn't take long for the Carnotaurus to finish the whole thing. "Well, thanks for the breakfast. Aki may be nice, but she doesn't give me and Terry the meat we need."
"Guess I'm lucky I'm too big for your house." Blaze joked, the two of them sharing a laugh.
"Heh, heh. I'll see you around." Ace said before he left.
Blaze watched him leave before she stomped away in frustration. "Damn it! I thought for sure offering a gift works! Those damn nature documentaries lied to me!"
As she continued her tantrum, she stepped onto a brown boulder and stomped across that. "Ow! Ow! Ow!" The rock said as Blaze walked across. Once she hopped off, the rock revealed itself to be Mole. "Is today the day that I'm not allowed to get sleep or something?" He asked angrily. "First Rio and Super push me on a raft over a waterfall, and now it's you who walks and stomps all over me Blaze!"
"Sorry about that, Mole." Blaze apologised. "Just not in the best of moods right now."
"Don't bother with the recap, I heard it all." Mole quickly told her. "I know a surefire way to get a guy to like you. Works every time."
"Really?" Blaze eagerly asked as she got into his face. "What is it?!"
"Tell him how you feel."
"What?" Blaze backed away. "Mole, this is Ace we're talking about. You know what he'd say if his former alpha suddenly confessed that she loved him and saw him as an equal, or even superior!"
"Oh, yeah. That totally isn't implied already." Mole grumbled. "Fine. If that way, the obvious way." He muttered quietly. "Isn't going to work, try the mating dance. Usually gets the attention of the female, or male in your case."
"The mating dance." Blaze repeated, taking Mole's joke seriously. "Of course! That's it!" She exclaimed before running off to prepare a show for Ace.
"Idiot." Mole muttered before he went to graze. "Hopefully this doesn't go on too long. And if it does, hopefully it's at least entertaining."

Meanwhile Giganoto and the Atrociraptors had arrived outside the D-Lab, it was still cold and snowy but it wasn't completely freezing either. When they got to where they were supposed to be meeting Giganto, they were surprised to also see Elsa, Cameron, Xenotarsa and all the Secret Dinosaurs there too.
"Oh morning Giganoto, morning Ronnie, Donnie, Lonnie, Bonnie and Tonnie." Blade greeted them.
"Diamonda? Blade? Dino? Danno? Sue? Mega? Krisa? Ann? Alan? Sorna? Elsa? Xenotarsa? Cameron?" Giganoto asked. "What are you all doing here?"
"Don't you remember Giganoto?" Diamonda asked.
"Remember what?" Giganoto asked, before he quickly realised what the Pachycephalosaurus was on about. "Wait. Oh no! You mean it's-"
"Yes Giganoto." Rhysa said, as she, her team and Cousins stepped forward. "Mission Dinopossible is about to go underway."
"Good lord!" Giganoto gasped. "So it's nearly the New Year!"
"Yes it is." Dread said. "The year's almost over and we made a promise that we'd rescue at least two of the Dinosaurs from the Hybro Gang before the year's up."
"Those tossers never learn the meaning of the words 'give up' if you ask me!" Mega growled.
"You said it!" Dino, Danno and Sue snorted. "We're convinced that the motto of the Hybro Gang is, 'When the going gets tough, the cowardly get scared and run away to form a new plan'!"
"Alright! Knock it off!" Tracker said. "Denigrating them won't change what they've done, or it won't help us in stopping them!"
"Indeed Tracker." Brontina said. "The lot of you and several of the Move Card Dinosaurs have volunteered for the mission! We're not gonna stop until we've rescued two of the Dinosaurs the Hybro Gang have captured."
"Any idea how real the danger is Rhysa?" Krisa asked.
"Real enough that I know if Max, Rex and Zoe went with us, we'd be in even greater trouble." Rhysa said. "But we know that me and us doing this by ourselves is for the greater chance of success. Cameron and Xenotarsa, you two will be on standby with Diego, Alicia and Dora here at the D-Lab, Elsa, Giganoto and the rest of you will come with me and my team on the mission."
"Good luck Cousin." Diego, Alicia and Dora said. "Stay safe."
"Well Diamonda." Elsa said. "According to Chomp and the others. You wanted to give that old geyser Dr.N a good thrashing. Will this suffice?"
"Indeed Elsa." Diamonda said smiling. "Come along ladies and gentlemen. Our kind needs us!"
Okay so you're all probably wondering what the heck is going on here? Well in order to find out what this 'Mission Dinopossible' is all about, this requires a flashback to a few nights ago.
DK
It was right after the night of the Christmas party, and all the Dinosaurs were sleeping, all but Blade, who opened his eyes and saw everyone still asleep. Ever so quietly, he got up on his feet and tiptoed across the sanctuary as quietly as he could. "Oops." He said, tripping on a rock. He quickly shushed himself and hoped the others didn't wake up, luckily they didn't, and Blade quickly but quietly made his way to one of the caves and gently tapped the entrance.
"Password?" A voice asked, from inside the cave.
"Um, Dr.N is an abusive bastard." Blade said.
"Enter." The voice said, revealing it to be Diamonda. She stepped aside and allowed the Therizinosaurus to enter the cave. Inside the two made their way to the meeting point where there they could see Sorna, Mega, the Deinonychuses, the Pyroraptors, Krisa, Giganoto, the Atrociraptors, Mufasa, the Minmis, the Dimorphodons, the Gallimimuses, Quetzal, the Archaeornithomimuses, the Geosternbergias, Greg, Quest, Elsama, Kronos, Tylas, Tide, Elsa, Xenotarsa, Cameron, Rhysa, her Cousins and her team present in the cave.
"Ah, Blade, you made it." Krisa said. "Nobody saw or followed you did they?"
"No, not a single one noticed me leaving my sleeping spot." The Therizinosaurus said.
"But all the same, why are we having this meeting so late at night?" Mega yawned.
"Attention everyone!" Giganto said quietly. "This meeting is now in session!"
"Thank you Giganto." Rhysa said, as she stepped forward. "Alright everyone listen up! I'm sure you're all wondering why I've called you all here at this time of night."
"Yes we are." Greg said. "What's the kerbubble Rhysa?"
"Now as you all might know a few months ago the Hybro Gang captured Saurophaganax now known as Sorow, and the Velociraptors a few days earlier, and after that they captured the Kentrosaurus from the Kruger National Park, and a few weeks ago while in the North Pole the Hybro Gang captured the Titanosaurus."
Whispers and murmurs were heard amongst those present in the cave, remembering the three losses all too well, all except for Mega as he had only recently joined the D-Team.
"I don't know what this is all about." He said. "But I'm sure I'll catch on quickly."
"Anyway, as I was saying," Rhysa said. "From the Droid my Cousins rewired while we were at the amusement park, has confirmed that the Velociraptors and Sorow are always in Seth's hands, so rescuing them is impossible for now, but we can still rescue the Kentrosaurus and Titanosaurus." Then she paused, as everyone waited for her to catch her breath. "Now I also know Louisa will be preparing to attack the villages in the Mongolian Desert, so that's where she's going to attack, and it's the perfect battle ground where we can't hurt anyone."
"Well how are we gonna save Kentrosaurus and Titanosaurus?" Krisa asked.
"The same way we always do." Rhysa said. "We're gonna battle them, return them to their cards and then kick the Hybro Gang's butts. Now listen, this is what we're going to do…" And then Rhysa whispered her plan to everyone present. "Understand? And this time they won't be able to get them back."
"This plan is risky, but it could work." Mufasa said.
"Which is why it's only me that has to go." Rhysa said. "But I can't do this alone with my team. Will you all help me?"
"I will." Blade said.
"Really Blade?" Diamonda asked, in both confusion and surprise. "I thought you didn't want to fight Dr.N."
"I do hold the same grudge as the rest of you!" Blade said, to the Pachycephalosaurus. "And like I said, he's not my father, he only looks like him! Our real father would never do anything that bastard did to us without asking! He might look like my father, but he's not and I think it's high time we pay him back for what he did to us!"
"I'm with you Blade!" Mega said. "I've got a score I'd like to settle with him for brainwashing me!"
"So do we!" The Deinonychus Sisters said. "Let's pay him back for all the abuse he gave us as hatchlings!"
"If the rest of you are in then so am I." Diamonda said.
"So are we." Everyone else in the cave present except Mufasa said.
"Aren't you joining us Mufasa?" Quest asked.
"I can't." Mufasa said. "I promised Spiny I'd battle with him, and I can't let him down."
"That's alright Mufasa." Rhysa said. "With everyone else's help we should have enough Dino Power."
"When she attack?" Tide asked.
"On the day before the New Year." Rhysa answered. "We've got to get to be ready for her. And remember not a word about this to anyone else."
"You can count on us, Rhysa." Quetzal said.
DK
And it was finally New Year's Eve and Louisa was planning on attacking the villages of the Mongolian Desert to strike fear in the people there. But Rhysa being smarter than her enemy had prepared perfectly for her.
With one of the disabled Hybro Droids, that Diego, Alicia and Dora had managed to recover from the amusement park, and through their spare time, were successful in reprogramming the droid for their spy.
After sending it back to Zeta Point they had been able to know that Seth had always had the Velociraptors as well as Sorow with him at all times. But they were able to locate the Kentrosaurus and Titanosaurus were in cages awaiting to be brainwashed in the Hybro Controller. Dr.N had also decided that Louisa would attack the Mongolian villages so the Hybro Gang could expand their areas.
Seemingly anticipating this, Rhysa and her Cousins had secretly devised 'Mission Dinopossible'. Where they would send Rhysa and her team to Mongolia and be there to stop the Hybro Gang. Though Rhysa had decided to bring all her Move Card Dinosaurs with her, she put out a call for volunteers in the event they weren't enough Dino Power.
Diamonda, Blade, Dino, Danno, Sue, Mega, Krisa, Sorna, Ann, Alan, Elsa and Giganoto had all volunteered to go on the mission to stop the Hybro Gang's plan.

Hanna was currently grazing on some ferns, as well. At the same time, she was also constantly looking up at the small terrarium in front of her. Inside of it was her best friend's pet, Hana the Third. Apparently, Amy's family was having issues with their heater so the house was a little cold, too cold for a Lizard like Hanna. So, in order to keep her alive and healthy, Amy brought him to the D-Lab and asked Hanna, the Euoplocephalus, to watch him for a couple of days until their heater is repaired.
Obviously, the Euoplocephalus accepted her friend's request in a heartbeat. But this proved to be a lot more challenging than she first realised, mainly since she could never let the terrarium out of her sight. She put it under a tree while she went to talk with someone, and it almost got squished by Seisma and Super. Because of that, she made a vow to make sure that the terrarium never left her eyesight for more than three seconds. Even then, she felt that may have been too long.
"Hey, Hanna!" She looked up and saw Salta walking towards her, possibly oblivious to the terrarium in front of her.
Immediately she began to panic. "What're you doing?!" She frantically asked him.
"Uh-"
"All other Dinosaurs are supposed to stay 10 feet away from the terrarium at all times! Don't you know that?!"
"What terrarium?" Salta asked. "Hanna, are you okay?"
"Don't call me crazy! I'm just protecting Hana!"
"Why are you referring to yourself in the third person?"
Hanna groaned in frustration. "Look down, nimrod."
"Okay..." The Saltasaurus looked down and noticed a terrarium in front of him. "Oh, that terrarium." He said before he realised something. "Wait. Terrariums usually hold Lizards." He quickly looked down and saw the little red lizard. "Oh my gosh! He's so cute!" He gushed, wagging in the air like a Dog. "What's his name?"
"Hana the Third."
"Well, that's a little stupid to name him after yourself."
"He's Amy's pet." The Euoplocephalus said dryly.
"Oooh." Salta said in realisation before asking something else. "Can I look at him?"
"You're already doing that now." Hanna reminded him.
"No, I mean can I go and play with him." Salta clarified.
Hanna's eyes widened at the thought. "No!" She shouted so loud that nearby Dinosaurs looked at her in confusion. Blushing a bit at the attention, she looked back at Salta. "He can't leave the terrarium. He'd get lost in this place. And I'd promise Amy that I'd keep an eye on him."
"And that's why I think I should look after him." Salta said. "You're taking this job very seriously. Maybe too seriously for your own good." He explained.
"Excuse me for not wanting my best friend to lose another pet!" Hanna retorted.
"Look, I'm not trying to offend you. But you seriously look like you need to relax." Salta said.
"And be out of the way so I won't yell at you when you play with the Lizard and let him out of his terrarium." Hanna added.
"Okay, that's partially true. But I am serious about you needing a break. You're acting as grumpy as Mole."
"Oh, sure! Let's all pick on Mole! It's not like he has feelings too or anything!" Mole yelled from the other side of the sanctuary.
Both of them winced at the tone of the Ankylosaur's words. Hanna was quiet as she realised that she was starting to snap at everyone like the grumpy Ankylosaurus. "'Sigh.' I guess you're right, I could use a break. But are you sure you can handle this?"
"I love Lizards. Do you really think I know nothing about them?" Salta asked.
"I just want to make sure that I'm not giving this responsibility to some idiot that doesn't know how to handle Lizards." Hanna said before she started to leave. "And whatever you do, never let him out for any reason! The only reason he should be out that wouldn't get you in trouble would be if Reese or someone else told you to for Hana's sake!" The Euoplocephalus warned him before heading off. "I'll be at the falls for Delta's yoga class. If you need me, I'll be there."
"Don't worry, Hanna! I'm the best Dinosaur for the job!" Salta called out to assure her.

It was around mid-morning when Terry and the other Fire Dinos went into the lab's training room to train. Terry and Blaster were exchanging blows, Big Gorgon practised with some training dummies while Dancer and Sweet Teeth practised their Move Cards on targets. "Nice job, Terry!" Blaster said as Terry dodged a swing of her tail. "Look for an opening and attack!" She emphasised this by quickly leaping onto Terry as he regained himself from the movement of the dodge.
"You should take your own advice." Terry playfully warned as he began to shake and cause the Carcharodontosaurus to fall off of him. Blaster got up and shook herself before she and Terry got ready to go at it again.
But before they could collide, the door to the training room opened and Allison walked in. "Well, Terry, looks like you're working up a sweat as always." She said to him as she strutted over to the Tyrannosaurus.
Terry sighed in annoyance while his sparring partner chuckled. "Allison, can I help you with something?" All the constant flirting with him has been replaced by him getting flustered with him getting annoyed with her constant teasing.
"I was just wondering if I could join you guys." Allison said. "You know, to build some muscles."
"Don't take this the wrong way, Allison, but this type of training is for Fire Dinos only." Dancer told her.
"Dancer's right. This kind of training isn't safe for you." Blaster said. "You're not strong enough to handle it. You don't have the muscles."
"Oh, I'm sure I can handle a little-"
"Damn it, Allison, this isn't a joke!" Terry roared at her, causing the Allosaurus to back up in fear. "You're a Wind Dino! Your muscles aren't strong enough to endure our type of training! There's a reason there are two types of theropod elements!"
"Jeez, Terry, calm down." Big Gorgon tried to calm his friend down.
"I'M COMPLETELY CALM!" Terry roared so loudly that anyone for miles could hear him.
"I think I can see the fire." Allison joked, the others shaking their heads frantically to tell her to shut up, but it was too late.
All this did was piss Terry off even more. "OH, WILL YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP! THE JOKE OF YOU FLIRTING WITH ME IS GETTING OLD! IT'S BEEN OLD SINCE WE CAME BACK FROM BARCELONA! FOR THE LOVE OF SEIKATSU, IF ALL YOU CAME HERE FOR IS TO GET ON MY NERVES WITH THIS STUPID JOKE, GET LOST!"
Everyone's ears were ringing from Terry's outburst. Allison was now cowering in fear from the much Larger Predator. Terry saw the fear and panic in her eyes and sighed. "I'm sorry for yelling like I did. But I really think we need to put this joke to rest." With that, he left the training room to calm himself down before he hurt someone by accident.
Allison watched sadly as he walked away. "But it wasn't a joke."
DK
"Alright, Hana, so what'd ya wanna do?" Salta asked as he lay down next to Hana the Third's terrarium on a small hill.
The Lizard said nothing and just looked at the Saltasaurus blankly. Unlike the Lizard in the Amazon, this one had seen Dinosaurs before when Amy brought him over, so Salta's appearance didn't terrify him. "Yeah." Salta said as he stretched his neck before lying his head down. "Chilling seems like a good idea."
At the same time, Ace was taking a drink from the watering hole. What he wasn't aware of was that Blaze was watching him from behind a tree. "Okay, Blaze." The Acrocanthosaurus said to herself. "Just go out there and strut your stuff. Seikatsu, that sounds so wrong."
Blaze then began to slowly walk over to Ace. The Carnotaurus heard the footsteps and looked up to see his former alpha walking over to him, noticing that she seemed to look pretty nervous. "Hey, Blaze. Can I help you with something?"
Blaze didn't respond. Instead, she began to start stomping on the ground and making high-pitched screeches. She kept on doing that for a minute before she switched to stomping around in a circle. Ace just watched in confusion as she switched back to stomping and screeching. Not knowing if this was normal or not for her, he quickly slipped away while she was distracted.
From his hilltop, Salta tried to channel out the noise that Blaze was making, but it was proving to be very difficult. He tossed and turned and rolled around on the ferns to try and cover his ears. In doing so, he accidentally knocked over Hana's terrarium with his back, thankfully not crushing it. The terrarium fell onto its side and the top fell off.
The Lizard inside was also having negative reactions to Blaze's attempted dance. The constant shrieking was causing Hana to think he was being attacked and began to panic. He immediately darted out of the terrarium and into the ferns, disappearing in seconds.
Salta, oblivious to Hana's escape, constantly rolled his head on the ground before he had enough. "Will you shut up! People are trying to sunbathe!" He yelled at the Acrocanthosaurus.
Blaze heard the yell and stopped her dancing. When she did, she noticed that she was reviving many odd looks from various Dinosaurs. Most of them were confused, but a few did look irritated by her noise. "Uh..." She turned to where Ace was and noticed that the Carnotaurus was gone.
Seeing that she had made a giant fool of herself, Blaze quickly ran away from the crowd and went to go and hide in embarrassment. As she ran, tears were falling out of her eyes. She ran past a grazing Shooting Star, and the Pentaceratops noticed her tears of sadness and embarrassment.
"Glad that's over." Salta said as he went back to sunbathing, unaware that his companion had scampered off.

Meanwhile in Mongolia, Louisa was preparing to attack one of the villages with her new Hybrids. These Hybrids looked a lot like Screecher and Thudder with dark green and light orange coloured bodies and underbellies, but they had a small sail on each of their backs that were coloured in cinnamon brown. These Hybrids were two Spinoraptors.
"Okay, Dr.N we're in position." Louisa said, over her Hybro Scanner.
"Excellent." Dr.N said. "Now you know the plan?"
"Go down and raid the villages in the Mongolian Desert and the people will be begging to ask for your aid." Louisa repeated the plan she was briefed earlier.
"Good, and don't fail!" Dr.N said. "We need to begin on taking over other parts of the world or we'll never beat those brats! So I'm expecting a victory from you!"
"I won't fail this time sir." Louisa said. "After all the training my Hybrids have been doing these past few months I can guarantee that victory is ours."
DK
In the Training Room on Zeta Point, all Louisa's Hybrids were training, by fighting each other. Midnight and Phantom charged at each other and met in a headlock.
"Club Tail Whip!" Tregear said, lashing his tail like a whip at Mon Tops.
"Yowch!" She cried getting knocked down. "Very good, now get me back on my feet."
"Brace yourself, Etelgar." Madeline said. "Slashing Claw Blade!" Then she charged with her claws extended, and smashed Etelgar right in her face.
"Ah!" She cried, and landed on her back. "Ouch! Oh damn it Madeline, I think you broke my frontal horns!"
"Etelgar." Blits said, pausing his sparring match with Wrath the Scorpius-Rex. "I might be dumb, dumber than Wrath here, but even I know that you don't have any frontal horns."
"Oh right, I keep forgetting."
"Heh, heh, heh!" Lyle laughed. "This is all so terrific! We're all training ourselves for battle! Once we train ourselves enough and win the battle, we'll throw a party and-"
"Shut up Lyle!" Jinx shouted.
"Those lousy D-Team's Dinosaurs won't stand a chance against my Slashing Claw Blade move!" Madeline said.
"Are you sure we should really be training by fighting each other?" Summit asked. "We're more likely to injure ourselves and then we won't be able to um, you know-"
"Just start fighting Summit!" Ares called, as she sparred with Soprano.
"Okay, okay!" Summit conceded, and began to spar with Martyin.
"There, you're back on your feet." Tregear said, getting Mon Tops back on her feet.
"Okay, now I've gotta try not to do things the opposite way I'm meant to be doing them." Berserker said. "Don't charge backwards, charge forwards." But Berserker ended up falling on top of Tapejalosauruses. "Oh! There I go again!"
"Boy, Berserker sure makes a lot of mistakes Atrocious." Empress said. "Are you ashamed at all that he's your boyfriend?"
"YOU TAKE THAT BACK!" Atrocious roared and charged at the Giganocephalus.
"AH!"
Atrocious charged Empress into the Secondontognathuses, the Ophiacomimuses, the Unarhynchuses, the Metrialongs and the Pelecanipteryxes knocking them all into a big pile.
"Very, very good Atrocious." Horn Plate praised.
"Okay, we'll keep this up for a few more minutes." Louisa said. "Make sure everyone gets back on their feet and has a bit of time to recover. Then we'll head out on our mission and secure a victory before the year's over!"

It was later in the day that Spiny and Mufasa met up in the watering hole for a sparring match. This was brought up when Mufasa noticed that Spiny was not partaking in any training of any sort, even before he arrived from Moscow. As a result, he requested the Spinosaurus meet him in the waterhole for a test to see where he was before they started his training.
The two of them were in the middle of the lake while Tank and Paris watched from the sidelines. "Spiny's gonna lose." Tank said as she rested her head on the ground.
"Are you-"
"Paris, Mufasa's a battling master. Spiny's screwed." Tank quickly answered. "This battle is over." Paris wanted to retort, but she knew that Tank was right. Spiny had no chance of beating Mufasa in his current state.
Something that Mufasa had already taken into account. "Are you ready for this, Spiny?" He asked his opponent as they stood on opposite sides of the lake.
"Bring it on!" The Spinosaurus exclaimed with excitement.
"Then show me what you've got!" With that, the two of them dived into the deep end and swam towards each other to get the first hit.
The Ampelosaurus swam under the surface, keeping an eye open for his opponent in all directions. What he didn't expect was for Spiny to come from underneath him and push him through the surface. Mufasa fell onto his side and tried to regain himself. Spiny used this moment to slip away and wait till Mufasa was underwater again before attacking from behind by pushing his back with both his feet, which probably would've been painful if he hadn't aimed the point of contact correctly due to Mufasa's spikes.
This process kept on going for a while, Spiny attacks Mufasa, slips away while the Ampelosaurus regains himself, and attacks again. He continued this process until he decided that enough was enough. Mufasa resurfaced and took a large breath of air. "I must say, Spiny, you definitely know how to battle in the water." Mufasa complemented his sparring partner.
"Did he just compliment Spiny?" Tank asked, shocked at what she just heard.
"Looks like he's exceeded your expectations again." Paris said. Tank didn't respond with a retort.
Spiny resurfaced and took a breath as well. "Wait, I'm winning?"
"Your speed in the water is making it harder for me to keep up with you. Keep this up and I'll be too exhausted to continue." Already the Ampelosaurus was slightly panting to prove this point.
"If you're so tired, then face the wrath of Poseidon! Shockwave!" Spiny accounted as he charged up the attack and fired it at Mufasa.
The Ampelosaurus wasted no time in getting his tail ready and used it to stop the water from making contact with him, creating a mini-rain. "Try again." He told Spiny.
"I've got something better! Water Sword!" A large sword of water formed out of Spiny's mouth and he got ready to swing it at the Ampelosaurus. But Mufasa was already prepared to counter the attack and swung his neck to match with the sword. The two of them collided and the Ampelosaur's neck shattered the sword, barely damaging Mufasa. "What?!"
"My turn!" Mufasa said as he reared up and activated Aqua Vortex. A vortex appeared underneath Spiny and began to spin him around. Due to it being in the water, it was even larger than normal. Spiny spun with so much force that he was starting to get lifted into the air. Something Mufasa was expecting as he began to swim towards Spiny as if he was charging.
The vortex stopped and Spiny started to fall. Before he could hit the water, Mufasa tackled him away with his head, causing the Spinosaurus to crashland on the shore.
Mufasa walked over to see if Spiny was still able to battle, but it was clear that the match was his when he saw the Spinosaurus return to his card. Since the battle happened inside the sanctuary, Spiny was reactivated seconds later, still lying on the shore. "You fought well. But you still need to work on your Move Cards. You'll also need to change your strategies a bit." With that, he walked off.
Spiny raised his head to look where Tank and Paris were watching. "Did I do good?" He asked nervously.
"What'd ya think?" Tank said before walking off as well.
Paris walked over to Spiny and helped him onto his feet. "Hey, now. You actually impressed her for a bit."
"Really?" Spiny said with surprise. "You mean I haven't lost all my chances?"
"Only if you give up." Paris told him.
"Never give up." Spiny muttered to himself before looking happily at Paris. "Brilliant strategy."

"Come on! Come on! Please tell me I'm getting warm! I'm begging you!" Salta had his head to the ground as he frantically searched for Hana the Lizard. It took a good two hours before the Saltasaurus realised that he accidentally freed the Lizard and that the tiny Reptile had now run off. He searched all over the sanctuary, head as close to the ground as possible to find any Lizard prints, but he was having no such luck.
Right before he was about to make another turn, he bumped into someone. "Ow." The Dinosaur he bumped into hissed. "Watch where ya going, Salta."
Salta recognised the voice and raised his head to see Blaster lying under a tree, taking a nap after training with Terry. "Sorry, Blaster, couldn't see you."
"No surprise there. Why're you walking around like that? That's just asking for trouble." She pointed out.
"Well, I, uh..." Salta didn't want the others to know how he accidentally lost a Lizard that wasn't even his. But as he stuttered, he noticed a tiny piece of red meat in between Blaster's teeth. "Uh, Blaster, when did you last eat?"
"About an hour ago." The Carcharodontosaurus answered. "Why?"
"Oh my god." Salta whispered as he put two and two together. Before Blaster even had time to react, Salta knocked her onto her side and placed a foot on her neck. "Why?! Why'd you do it?!"
"What're you talking about?!" Blaster asked as she tried to get the Saltasaurus off of her, with little success as all she could do was move her foot in the air.
"You ate Hana!"
"What?! I would never do that! Besides, I saw her by the waterfall earlier."
"Not that Hanna, you murderer! The other one!"
"Since when were there two Hanas?" The Green Theropod asked in confusion.
"Since today! Why'd you do it!? I thought we had something!"
The Carcharodontosaurus was starting to get uncomfortable with how Salta was almost crying. "Salta, we only really connected when we were the only Dinosaurs here. We haven't really talked for a while."
"Don't change the subject! Why'd you eat Hana?!"
"I didn't eat Hanna! If I did, then there'd be a Euoplocephalus carcass lying around." Blaster pointed out.
"Stop changing the subject!" Salta yelled as he prepared to start applying pressure to his foot.
"Alright! Enough!" Speedy hissed as she jumped in between them, making Salta back off of Blaster. "What the hell are you two arguing about!? Everyone can hear it!"
"He's the one doing the yelling!" Blaster retorted by yelling.
"Well, she ate Hana!" Salta accused Blaster again.
"For the last time, I did not eat her!"
"Not that Hana, killer!"
"Will you both shut up?!" Speedy yelled at them both, making them slightly back away in fear. "Now, Salta, what makes you think that Blaster ate Hana? And please don't yell at me." She firmly asked the Sauropod.
"I saw a piece of his tail in her teeth." Salta said.
"No, I don't have any tail in my teeth." Blaster retorted. "All I have is some small piece of meat from my lunch."
"Which I'm assuming was Lizard." Salta glared as he looked like he was about to attack again.
"No, it was beef, like always. Why would I eat a Lizard? That's hatchling food." Blaster asked.
"Ah." Speedy said in understanding. "Now I get it. Salta believes that you ate Hana the Third; Amy's pet Lizard." She explained to Blaster.
"Well, I didn't." Blaster reaffirmed her innocence.
Speedy nodded in agreement before turning to Salta. "Salta, I know you're worried, but that's no excuse to go accusing people of pet slaughter."
The Saltasaurus lowered his head in shame. "I'm sorry. I just don't want to upset Amy and Hanna." Salta admitted "The Euoplocephalus." He quickly added.
"And you won't if we look for the Lizard together." Blaster assured him. "What does he look like?"
"Small, bright red, could be mistaken for a Salamander." Salta listed off the characteristics he could remember.
"Okay, good. Let's see if we can find anything on the security feed." Speedy suggested.
"When did we have those?" Salta asked.
"Since the lab was created." Speedy answered. "Just follow me. We'll get to the bottom of this."
DK
Back in Mongolia, Louisa, the Spinoraptors, Atrocious, Brontikens, White Slash, Horn Plate, the Kentrosaurus and the Titanosaurus were about to attack one of the villages in the distance.
"Okay everyone." Louisa said. "It's time we strike fear in the villages of Mongolia! When I say charge, we charge for the village! Ready?" Louisa called, getting nods in reply. "Prepare to cha-"
"You'll do no such thing!" A voice shouted, as the colours of a battlefield appeared in the sky.
"Oh, you've gotta be kidding me!" Louisa shouted.
Just as she thought, Rhysa, Stiggy, Stigga, Dread, Tracker, Brontina, Giganto, Ann, Alan, Sorna, Krisa, Diamonda, Blade, Dino, Danno, Sue, Mega, Elsa and Giganoto appeared from behind some of the sand dunes. Giganto stomped his foot and all the D-Team's Dinosaurs roared to signal their presence.
"Oh, look who decided to show up!" Louisa moaned. "My least favourite people ever! But it doesn't matter! You stand no chance at stopping us this time!" Louisa then addressed her enemies. "There may be 18 of you, but there's ten of us, plus all my other Hybrids over there!"
And then the rest of Louisa's Hybrids came into view from the giant Hybro Craft they used to get to Mongolia. All the Hybrids were growling, snarling and stomping their feet ready for battle.
The D-Team's Dinosaurs were all shocked at the amount of opponents that Louisa had brought with her. But they regained their focus and put on determined faces as they were ready for combat.
"Dinosaurs of the D-Team!" Giganto roared. "ATTACK!" And he, Stiggy, Stigga, Blade, Ann, Alan, Elsa and Mega charged forward.
"You heard Giganto!" Giganoto roared. "LET'S GET THEM!" And he, Diamonda, Dino, Danno, Sue, Krisa, Sorna, Dread, Brontina and Tracker charged forward as well.
"Come on Hybrids, let's go!"
"Attack!"
"It's payback time!"
"Go, go, go!"
"Let us get them!"
And all the Hybrids charged forward, as they were ready for some big fat revenge.
And the battle began.
Giganto charged and smashed his head right on Berserker's stomach, knocking him down.
Then Diamonda charged forward towards Ares, the Sauropod Hybrid reared up on her hinds legs and Diamonda was pushed back when her head made contact with her stomach. She slid backwards a little, but then charged again, but this time Krisa was with her and together they rammed the Parasaura onto her back.
Blade was next as he advanced forward as Madeline charged forward and he stuck his head in her sight. "You hoo! I'm over here!"
Madeline took the bait and ran forward right into a sand dune getting stuck, but not before getting freed when Summit tripped on her tail and fell low enough for Blade to Claw Blade them both.
"Go and get them!" Louisa ordered, as Brontikens and the Hybrids charged.
Ann and Alan advanced towards Screecher and Thudder, the two Raptor pairs stopped. "Huh, you've both got a lot of red feathers dripping all over you two." Screecher and Thudder said. "But pretty soon it's gonna be your own red blood that's dripping all over you two!" Then Min, Mine and Mi out of a rainbow glow of Dread, appeared behind them and tackled the Carnoraptors to the floor.
"Take that you stupid Fossils!!" The Minmis trash talked the fallen Raptors.
"You imbeciles!" Brontikens scolded the two. "Battle first, talk later next time!"
Mega then advanced and saw Tregear in front of him. "Prepare to feel the incredible pain of my Club Tail Whip!" The Ankylodocus bragged, as he swung his tail around, but Mega jumped and landed with both feet on the Hybrid's tail. "Hey, get off my tail!" Tregear ordered, struggling to free his tail. "I can't move!"
"Alright, I've got his tail held down! Beth, get over here and pound him!" Mega shouted, as Beth appeared from a rainbow glow from Stiggy and Stigga and rammed her Hybrid counterpart as Mega jumped off his tail.
"No, no, no, no!" Tregear cried, as he skidded helplessly.
Beth kept ramming her opponent towards Kate and her team that were summoned by Brontina, and they had kept Soprano distracted. Once Tregear was close enough the Dimorphodons flew into the sky.
"Ha, I scared them off!" Soprano boasted.
"LOOKOUT!" Tregear cried, before Beth rammed him into the Suprannotitan, knocking them both off their feet.
Over with Giganoto, the Atrociraptors, Giganto and Sorna they had succeeded in pushing Summit back enough that he somehow managed to get his forelegs stuck on Tartarus.
"How could I have possibly let you three, or you eight, push me back so much and get me uprooted on Tartarus!" The Labyrinthosaurus asked in embarrassment.
"Oh you don't like being in that position huh?" Giganto asked, as he glowed rainbow. "Well here, allow me to help you down with Rainbow Kick!"
"No, don't you dare!" Tartarus begged, but got struck by Rainbow Kick and was knocked down, allowing Kronos and Tylas to then use their Move on the Labyrinthosaurus.
"Ouch!" The Alangasaurus moaned, falling on his side.
But Giganto accidentally fell on his side too. "Oops, no worries." Giganto said, as he started to get up. "I can get myself back on my feet just like- WHOA!" Giganto cried, as he suddenly dropped back on his side.
The reason was because the Metrialongs were coming down the dune at full speed trying to strike him, but they had too much speed and couldn't stop when they saw Giganto back on his side. They were then met with Stacey's Ice Freeze before getting rammed by Elsa.
"Phew, that was a close one." Giganto said, getting on his feet and summoned Quetzal, who picked up Tartarus and performed his Sky Dive Move.
Squirt was trapped behind Summit when Kronos and Tylas launched their attack. But then suddenly Tide appeared beneath him and hurled him into the air and performed Torrential Roar. The Leptostega twitched in pain and fell to the ground.
"Whoa, incoming!" Sorna cried, as she raced forward and Elsa reversed out of the way as Squirt landed on the ground, as the Amphibians appeared and began biting the Hybrid.
Madeline had managed to get free from the sand dune and was about to attack, but was struck by the Ornithomimuses.
"Ouch! Hey!"
Richard and his team chuckled, before Brontikens knocked them all down.
"Oh! Hey!"
Brontikens then went forward, as the Ornithomimuses struggled to get up.
"Hang on guys, we've got some energy for you!" Skyline and the Fabrosauruses said, circling around the Ornithopods and gave them some energy.
"Oh thanks you guys." They said as they got back on their feet.
Midnight and Phantom growled as they charged for Beth, but they were knocked down by the Geosternbergias as they intercepted, and tossed them towards Diamonda who used Laser Ray on them.
Giganto then came down the hill, he saw Krisa ram the Ophiacomimuses towards Faith and her team, then he saw Krisa smash her head into Etelgar knocking the Packyceratops down and was met face to face with Brontikens.
"Well the fake versus the real deal." The Apatosaurus chuckled. "I shall win."
"But Brontikens, you're one of us!" Giganto said. "You're like family! And families shouldn't be fighting against one another! We can help you if you just give us the chance."
"Oh shut up!" Brontikens shouted, and fired Spectral Destroy at Giganto.
"AH!" Giganto cried before he found himself hanging on a ledge by his jaw.
Tracker meanwhile had just knocked White Slash on her side again when he saw his friend in trouble.
Poor Giganto was clinging on for dear life on the edge of a cliff. His jaw had snagged a root, but the root was starting to snap and down below was a bottomless canyon.
"See you next fall." Brontikens said, before looking for his next opponent.
"Giganto!" Tracker cried, as he jumped from Hybrid to Hybrid to where his friend was. "I'm coming!" Then Tracker glowed rainbow. "Greg! Grab Giganto!"
"Oh no!" Giganto cried, as the root snapped and he slightly fell, but was rescued when Greg grabbed his tail and pulled him to safety.
"You alright Giganto?" Tracker asked, as Greg lowered him to solid ground.
"I am now." The Gigantosaurus replied. "Thanks to you and Greg."
"Sneak attack!" Fyre yelled, as she flew towards them.
"Oh no you don't!" Corre and his team said, when Tracker brought them out, they created a dust cloud trapping the Alankylosaurus and striking her from all sides.
"HYDRO BLASTER!" Elasma roared and fired her cannon once the Archeornithomimuses had finished and striking the Pterosaur Hybrid, defeating her.
Elsa and Blits were then seen growling at one another. "Oh just hit him already!" Lyle roared, but made them both fall on their sides.
"Oh way to go Lyle!" Blits growled.
"Oh no worries I can get us like-" But Elsa rammed them again just as they both got up.
Squirt growled at Brontina and was about to fire his attack, when suddenly Quest tossed Horn Plate on top of him. "Ouch!" They groaned, as Brontina then stepped on the Stegoceratops side, defeating them both.
Gabriel and his team then went towards the Unarhynchuses and simply hit them with their necks and they fell down to the ground and were carded.
Krisa was then facing off against Berserker, he charged for her but the Wannanosaurus side stepped and Berserker smacked Brontikens who was behind Krisa with his frill. Then the Proceratosauruses and the Homalocephales attacked together and knocked Brontikens down right on top of the Secondontognathuses, defeating them.
"That's them down!" Battle Scared said.
The Spinoraptors growled at Dino, Danno and Sue and they prepared to attack, but the Deinonychus Sisters chained together and performed Whip Attack. "Everybody loves whiplash lashing!" They sang as they struck the two Hybrids once they jumped into the air.
They crashed to the ground and landed on the Tapejalosauruses and Blits as they all got carded.
Elsa then got in a horn lock with Mon Tops before pushing the Hybrid back and made her hit the side of a nearby mountain carding her on impact.
"Take that you Franken Loser!" Elsa roared in victory.
"Take this!" Empress said, swinging her tail towards Tide, but Tide vanished in his puddle and the Giganocephalus struck Soprano instead and was defeated too.
"You trickster!" Empress yelled, and looked for the Liopleurodon but got attacked by the Rhabdodons and was carded too.
Blade was making his way forward, with White Slash and Tartarus following him with Lyle and Martyin as well. Blade came face to face with Madeline as they growled. Blade prepared to use Gyro Claw, but before he could start spinning, White Slash and Tartarus grabbed his claws with their jaws. Blade was stuck and he couldn't move.
"HA!" Madeline bragged. "You can't slash your claws at anyone, if they're stuck in the jaws of Theropods!"
But help was on the way, as Tracker and Mega charged, as Madeline extended her claws, the two Theropods clamped their jaws down and trapped the Hybrid in the middle.
"Good to know Bladeless!" Tracker mocked.
"GRR!" Madeline growled. "Release me at once! And don't call me 'Bladeless' either!"
Lyle and Martyin then jumped and they tackled Mega and Tracker off Madeline and forced them to let go of her claws.
"Ha! We've got them!" Martyin beamed.
"Hey, does this mean we can throw a-"
"Later Lyle." Martyin said. "We'll throw a party later."
"Now then, where was I?" Madeline asked, as her claws extended. "Oh yeah!" She said, as she charged. "SLASHING CLAW BLADE!"
"Oh no you don't!" Diamonda cried, as she jumped over Blade and smashed the Cerazinosaurus so hard she flew off the ground, and landed right on top of Lyle carding them both.
"Nice move Diamonda." Tracker said, as he got up.
"GET OFF ME!" Mega growled, using Zero G Throw and tossed Martyin into White Slash forcing her to let go of Blade's claws and defeating them as well.
"Stay away from us!" The Metrialongs cried, as Stiggy and Stigga chased them using Rainbow Charge.
Blade managed to free himself when Diamonda blinded Tartarus with her light, and got out of the way just as the Stygimolochs struck the Metrialongs with Rainbow Charge and tossed them towards Tartarus and they were defeated too.
"TAKE THIS!" Min, Mine and Mi yelled, tackling the Indoraptors.
"AND THAT!" The Geosternbergias cried, striking the Pelecanipteryxes with their Move.
They collided with each other before Dread, Brontina and Sorna tackled Ares and Summit with enough force to make them fall on their colleagues and all of them returned to their cards.
The other Hybrids and Brontikens tried to get back up and rejoin the fight, but the Move Card Dinosaurs prevented them from getting up and they all returned to their cards.
Rhysa then walked over towards Atrocious and Louisa with Giganto behind her. "Give it up Louisa!" Rhysa said. "Atrocious is the last one on your side standing!"
"She's not the last one standing!" Louisa shouted. "The Kentrosaurus and the Titanosaurus are still standing and-" But then she noticed there was a lack of Stegosaurid and lack of Sauropod in the area. "Hey, where are Kentrosaurus and Titanosaurus? I haven't seen them since the battle started."
"We're right here!" Two voices came from behind. Louisa was confused before Atrocious was struck by the Kentrosaurus using Gigarock Hammer, and then was attacked when the Titanosaurus performed Tragedy of the Sphere.
"What are you-"
"Since you didn't use the Hybro Controller on them." Elsa said. "It was easy for me to ask them if they wanted to join our family and they accepted."
"Even so, I'll still win!" Atrocious said, getting back on her feet.
"Oh no!" The Kentrosaurus gasped.
"Even that attack didn't work." The Titanosaurus sighed.
"Try a Fusion Move!" Giganoto called.
"What's a Fusion Move?" Rhysa asked, turning to the Theropod.
"Kentrosaurus and Titanosaurus activate their Moves together, which in turn doubles the power of both of them!"
"It's worth a shot!" Rhysa said. "Tiga! Thea! Get ready!"
"RODGER!" They replied as they glowed.
"CRYSTAL AQUA CRUSHER!"
Both Tiga and Thea glowed their respective coloured before Tiga charged forward performing Crystal Crusher, and Thea charged behind performing Aqua Javelin. Then the water javelins combined with the crystals and became even sharper.
"Oh shit." Was all Atrocious could say, before she was struck by the Fusion Move. She fell to the ground and was defeated. Louisa was so shocked that she dropped Tiga's and Thea's Element Boosters which were picked up by Rhysa.
All the Dinosaurs of the D-Team roared in victory as they all returned to their cards, even Tiga the Kentrosaurus and Thea the Titanosaurus and they all appeared in Rhysa's hand.
"Well I'd love to stay and chat, but I've got to dash!" Rhysa said, before she pressed a button on her Dino Holder and transported back to the D-Lab. "See ya, and Happy New Year!"
"GOD DAMN IT!" Louisa yelled at the top of her lungs, once she had gathered all her cards before a Fly flew into her opened mouth. Louisa instantly felt the Bug inside and spat it out.
"You failed didn't you?" A voice on her Hybro Scanner said.
"Yes I did." Louisa said, knowing the voice wasn't Dr.N's. "And she took the Kentrosaurus and the Titanosaurus with her."
"It seems no matter the number of Hybrids, she's still too strong." The voice said. "Hmm, I think Louisa it's time for some Alphas."
"Oh I've been waiting for you to say those words for ages Seth!" Louisa said, as she got back onboard her Hybro Craft and flew back to Zeta Point.

It wasn't too hard for Shooting Star to find Blaze. He knew she'd go to a secluded place, and there was only one cave in the sanctuary. As he entered the cave, he heard the sound of quiet sobbing. He looked behind a rock and saw Beta lying on the ground, tears rolling down her face. "You okay?" Shooting Star asked, but immediately realised that wasn't the best question to ask.
Thankfully for him, Blaze was too distraught to yell at him. "What'd you think?" She hissed.
"Yeah, not the best choice of words on my part." Shooting Star admitted as he lay down next to Blaze. "So, what was the reason behind that... dance you did?"
"I don't want to talk about it." Blaze said as she turned her head away.
"Blaze." Shooting Star sighed. "You and I both know I'm not leaving until I get an explanation. So why don't you make this easier and just tell me what's going on so I can help you and we can both sleep happy tonight."
Blaze remained silent as she debated if she should tell him or not. Swallowing up her pride, she decided to do the former. "I was doing..." She mumbled the last part so quietly that Shooting Star couldn't make it out.
"I'm sorry, what?" Blaze mumbled it again, a little louder. "The naming hance?"
"I was doing the mating dance!" She finally lost her patience and yelled at him.
"Glad to see the energy's back." Shooting Star joked before getting serious. "So, you were trying to court Ace into being your mate? Isn't it supposed to be the male that does the dance to court the female?"
"Mole suggested it." Was her quick reply.
"Mole may be a grump, but he doesn't look like the type that would tell you to embarrass yourself." Shooting Star pointed out.
"Well, he did say that I should confess to Ace upfront." Blaze admitted.
"And you chose to do the mating dance over the easy solution?" Shooting Star rhetorically asked. If the Pentaceratops had eyebrows he'd be raising one right now.
"You don't understand! What if he doesn't return my feelings? It could ruin the friendship I've been working to rebuild!" Blaze began to frantically pace around the cave to calm herself, with little success.
Shooting Star saw her distress and walked up beside her. "Blaze, I can tell you that even if Ace doesn't love you back you won't lose him as a friend."
"How do you know that?"
"Because I was in Ace's position. It wasn't too long ago that Frankie confessed that she had a crush on me. I won't lie and say that I didn't feel the same. But after what happened in Hollywood, I didn't feel comfortable with starting another relationship. And I told her exactly that. And, despite the awkwardness, the two of us still hang out together as friends."
"But you admitted that you also have a thing for Frankie." Blaze pointed out. "Ace might not feel the same way."
"Maybe he does, maybe he doesn't. The point still stands. You and I both know that Ace wouldn't abandon you or your friendship just because he doesn't return the crush. But continuously holding these feelings back is doing you more harm than good. If you ask me, I'd say go for it. But this choice is yours." With that, Shooting Star left the cave, leaving Blaze alone to ponder his words.

At the same time, Speedy, Salta and Blaster were in the control room for the security cameras. "I can't believe that you've been spying on us with these cameras this whole time." Blaster said as they looked through the feed.
"How many times do I have to tell you these were here before us?" Speedy asked, getting frustrated with the constant accusations of invading privacy. "Besides, I'm not the one who looks over these."
"Then who'd you know the password?" Blaster asked.
"Reese and Rhysa's Cousins told me in case of an emergency like this." Speedy hissed before turning to Salta. "Do you know when Hana escaped?"
"It was most likely when I was sunbathing on a hill near the waterhole, which I started around the time that Blaze was making all that noise." Salta recalled what he could.
"Okay. I believe that's around 1:47." Speedy typed in the time and turned on the camera near the waterhole. "Alright. I think I see you." Speedy zoomed in on the corner and saw that it was in fact Salta. "Perfect."
They watched the feed until they noticed Salta rolling around in the ferns. "Wow. You suck at pet sitting." Blaster said as she watched Salta not even pay attention to the terrarium that he knocked over and almost could've crushed.
"Are you trying to help me or mock me?" Salta glared at her.
"It's called observing." While the three of them watched and chatted, none of them noticed Hana the Third crawling on one of the legs to the table. "Speedy, the camera's too far. We can't even tell which way he went."
"I'll see if I can find another angle." Speedy said as she started typing on the computer.
"The ferns are too high." Salta pointed out. "Don't you have any cameras at ground level?"
"I didn't make these. And these weren't made with the purpose of tracking lizards." Speedy reminded him, starting to lose her patience.
"Do any of these cameras have a use other than spying on us?" Blaster asked.
"Enough with the damn spy cameras! Why can't you be more like this lizard?! He doesn't bug me!" Speedy yelled, pointing at Hana before leaving in a huff.
The other two Dinosaurs looked down at the lizard before Salta recognised him. "Hana!" He exclaimed, almost scaring the Lizard away. "Sorry." He sheepishly apologised.
"Why is he here?" Blaster asked as she tried to find something to keep him from escaping, settling with carefully trapping the Lizard beneath her foot.
"Probably was scared off by Blaze's racket and decided to come here. Where no Dinosaurs would eat him." Salta guessed. "Can you hand me the terrarium?"
"I don't have it. I thought you would've brought it." Blaster said.
"How could I carry it? I don't have hands." Salta lifted a foot for emphasis.
"My arms aren't much better." The Carcharodontosaur pointed out, moving her arms for emphasis on their limitations. "Besides, you still have your mouth. You could have carried it in that."
"Just look for it." Salta requested her. "It should be on a hill by the waterhole. Hopefully, it wasn't crushed by someone."
"And you-"
"Do you really think Hana would like to be near a Carnivore? Much less one trapping him?" The Saltasaurus pointed out.
"'Ugh, Just what I need, a bleeding mouth full of glass." Blaster grumbled as she walked off to grab the terrarium.
DK
As the sun began to set, Ace was talking with Mole about the afternoon. Mainly what was going on with Blaze. "I don't know, Mole, she's been acting really strange lately. And her... whatever that was at the waterhole earlier is making me worried about her."
"Don't worry yourself." Mole assured him, not looking up from his grazing. "She'll be fine."
"Why? Do you know what's wrong with her?" Ace asked, his curiosity getting peaked with Mole's word choice.
"I believe so. But I can't tell you." The Ankylosaurus stated.
"Why not? Don't you care about Blaze?"
"I do. But it's not my job to tell you."
"Tell me what?" Ace asked him.
Before Mole could respond, if he was going to, Ace heard that someone was approaching them and turned around to see Blaze walking nervously towards them. "W-well." Blaze started to stutter as she tried to say what she wanted to say.
"Blaze, what's wrong?" Ace asked as he walked over to her, the concern impossible to miss in his tone and body language. "Are you sick?"
"No." Blaze quickly responded. "I'm fine health-wise. It's just that I...I...I..."
"Just spit it out already!" Mole yelled at her, wanting them to just get to the point already.
Mole's yelling was the push that the Acrocanthosaurus needed. "I have a crush on you!" She finally yelled, panting heavily once she got it out.
It took Ace a few seconds to process what his former alpha had just told him. "You have a crush on me?" He repeated.
Blaze sighed and slowly nodded her head. "Ever since we started hanging out together, I've been growing feelings for you. And I've been trying to find ways to tell you. That's why I gave you the meat this morning. I stumbled onto Mole and he told me to tell you directly, or to do the mating dance."
"I was being sarcastic, mind you." Mole added before they accused him of misleading Blaze.
"So I tried that and made a fool of myself. I was so embarrassed that I ran to cry in the cave, and that's where Shooting Star found me-"
"We don't need a recap on what just happened." Mole said.
"Will you stop with the commentary!" Blaze yelled at him before turning to Ace. "The point is, I've been acting foolish for long enough. I'm not going to hide these feelings anymore. I have a crush on you, Ace. And it's okay if you don't feel the same."
She turned around and started to leave, but not before she felt something grab her tail and attempt to pull her back. Turning around, she saw that it was Ace. "Why didn't you just tell me sooner?"
"Because I was afraid you'd reject me and it'd ruin what we already have." Blaza admitted.
"Blaze, even if I didn't feel the same way, I don't think I could hate you just for having feelings." Ace assured her.
"Shooting Star helped me realise that- wait, what?" Blaze paused as she slowly took in what Ace just said.
Now it was Ace's turn to feel embarrassed. "I've kind of been growing feelings for you as well. I just haven't been able to figure out the right words for when I tell you."
"O-oh." Blaze said as she mimicked Ace. Both Theropods were now feeling like quite the fools.
"Are you both gonna kiss or something?" Mole asked, breaking the ice, and making them more embarrassed. But that didn't stop them from nuzzling their cheeks affectionately against each other, giving off purr-like growls as they did so. "And this is why we listen to Mole." The Ankylosaurus said as he watched them nuzzle in the sunset.

At the same time, Salta and Blaster were sitting on a hill with Hana the Third when Hanna the Euoplocephalus came back to retrieve him. "Hey, Hanna." Salta greeted the Euoplocephalus. "Just chillin' here with Hana. Waiting for you to come back."
Hanna looked at the Saltasaurus. "You lost him, didn't you?"
"It was only for a few hours!" Salta said before he realised he just confessed into doing so. "Oops."
"I should've known you'd fuck this up. Why did I think it was a good idea to leave him with you?"
"Now, hold on." Blaster spoke up. "The guy took losing the Lizard very seriously. He almost killed me when he thought that I ate him."
"That doesn't change the fact that he still lost him."
"He didn't die." The Carcharodontosaurus pointed out.
"But he could've easily become someone's dinner." Hanna pointed out in return.
"Blaster, you don't need to stick up for me." Salta said before turning to Hanna. "I'm sorry I lost the Lizard, Hanna. I was sunbathing with him and I knocked over the terrarium when I was rolling around. I really have no excuse."
"Hmm." Hanna thought as she listened to Salta explain himself. "Maybe you did learn something from this." She said before gently picking up the terrarium with her mouth. "Perhaps I might give you another chance. At least, with someone there to help you." With that, she took her leave.
As they watched her leave, Salta turned to Blaster. "Thanks for backing me up back there."
"Hey, we're herd-mates. It's what we do." Blaster said before she got up and stretched before leaving. "If you even get put in charge of Lizard sitting again, I can always give you a hand."
"I'd appreciate that." Salta said in response.
"They're back! They're back!" Xenotarsa's and Cameron's voices echoed around sanctuary. "The team are back!"
"They've returned?" Mufasa asked, looking up from his drink.
And sure enough Rhysa, her team, Elsa, Giganoto, the Secret Dinosaurs and all the Move Card Dinosaurs entered Sanctuary with a Kentrosaurus and a Titanosaurus with them.
"Everyone!" Rhysa called, as the rest of the herd gathered. "Please welcome Tiga the Kentrosaurus and Thea the Titanosaurus to our Herd."

It was past midnight when there were the sounds of bolts being unscrewed in the walls. One of the tiles became undone and fell to the floor. As it did, a pink ball rolled into the room. The ball opened up and revealed itself to be D.R.O.I.D. "Operation: Sneak into Enemy Base is a success." The robot said before he received a call. "Oh, god damn it." He groaned before he answered. "What is it?"
"Have you gotten the stones yet!" The voice on the other side yelled at him, almost causing the Hybro Droid to jump out of his metal skin.
"Keep it down!" D.R.O.I.D hissed. "You want them all to hear you?"
"Don't take that tone with me, trash can!"
"And don't cause my cover to get blown or Seth's gonna kill you." D.R.O.I.D said before he rolled over to the edge of the control panel where the cards were placed. At the end was a container that held the six stones that powered the sanctuary. "Just as Seth said, they're all here."
"Perfect. Now grab the damn things." The voice ordered.
"Do you not remember Seth's orders? We take the physical stones and they'll hunt us down like wolves. Have you forgotten that they outnumber us ten to one?"
"Have you forgotten who has the authority here?" The voice growled. "I am perfectly aware of what Seth's orders are, but I say that taking the stones would be more beneficial."
"And I say that we don't take any major risks." The mystery partner froze when he saw Seth walking towards him, looking very crossed. "I'd like to remind you of my policy on traitors."
"No need to, boss." The partner bowed to his master. "You've made the point clear with those raptors."
"Very good." Seth said before turning his attention to D.R.O.I.D. "Proceed as instructed and return to base. Leave no evidence behind."
"Understood." D.R.O.I.D replied before his arms changed into syringes and he injected them into two of the stones. He repeated the process with the other four before he ejected his arms from them and they returned to normal. "Mission success." With that, he climbed back up to the hole in the wall he came in from and placed it back while also screwing back in the bolts, making it so that no one could tell he was there.

The next morning the whole Herd celebrated Rhysa and the rescue team's successful mission, and gave Tiga and Thea a gigantic welcome into the Herd.
Rhysa then pulled out her camera and started recording everyone welcoming Tiga and Thea into the Herd.
"Double Dinosaur Herd update! We finally managed to rescue Tiga the Kentrosaurus and Thea the Titanosaurus from the Hybro Gang! So now our Herd's reached a total of 96 Dinosaurs! Now we can focus on saving the Velociraptors and Sorow from the Hybro Gang."
Next time on Dinosaur King:
Seth: The attack's improved, but it still drains all of Sorow's energy
Laura: What was that Move? It looked like you were hurting Sorow
D.R.O.I.D: I can only carry thirteen samples, plus another fifteen in my second compartment.
Voice: Then there'll be 13!
Louisa: And the extra 15!
Rod: What's wrong with Sorow?
Laura: We need to go to the Animal hospital!
Mystery person 1: What happened while I was out?
Mystery person 2: We've managed to locate Ancient's cards
Mystery person 3: Doctor your children have been found in this time period
Mystery person 4: Oh thank goodness they're safe
Android: My name is Jonathan
Seth: We're making progress, gentlemen
Louisa: At last an army of our own, with the same amount of power as you
A/N: Well there we are, I kept my promise and now Tiga and Thea have finally been freed from the Hybro Gang's control.
Now I can get to work on the last three chapters of Season 1 and then hopefully I can start season 2 soon.
And finally get to revealing the people you've all been waiting for.
