(So I was asked in the last chapter if I was going to use original dinosaurs. Answer: Yes and No. I'm still gonna use existing dinosaurs in the anime and reintroduce them as wild dinosaurs. Mostly the Space Pirates dinosaurs like Majungasaurus and all them. But I'll still put original dinosaurs that have either never been introduced into the franchise, like Calamosarus, or have appeared in the game, like Albertosaurus, just to spice things up.

Also Calamosaurus isn't an OC. It's a real life dinosaur who's only remains aren't enough to make a skeleton. I explained all this in the previous chapter.

Also, no, there will be no hybrid dinosaurs in this story. I said references to Jurassic Park, not borrow ideas from them.

What else is there? Uuuuum. Oh yeah, that's right. The part where I talk about something in my life.

Nothing makes me more happy than knowing that Rick May, voice of the Soldier from Team Fortress 2, actually got a 21 gun salute at his funeral.

"You were good son, real good! Maybe even the best! Godspeed you magnificent bastard."

I still miss him to this day.)

Usually when one thinks of deserts, they don't normally think of water. This is the same case for Africa, or Niger in this case. However, this time, mother nature was kind to the planet, and allowed water to fall down from the heavens and onto the dry desert that is Niger. While it wasn't heavy rain, it was still rain, it still watered the plants all over the area and provided a drinking resource for the animals. The rain water fell gently on a lone poacher, whom was busy talking on the phone with someone, not too far from his base of operations.

"Don't worry, Mr. Alexander, I'll have that elephant head like you promised. Now, can we talk about profit? How much am I getting paid for this? Are we talking the whole head or just the tusks?" the poacher asks his contact over the phone.

Unbeknownst to absolutely anyone in the entire world, not a single soul knew about a broken dinosaur egg capsule that contained two dinosaur cards. A drop of water landed on the dinosaur card, activating it as it glowed blue before turning into a lifesize dinosaur. This dinosaur was not known amongst most of the human population, as part of it's skeleton has only been found, leaving the rest of it a mystery. It was much similar to that of Baryonyx, albeit smaller, about the size of a Suchomimus, but was still part of the spinosaur family. It had a distinguishable large, red shark-like fin on top of it's head. This dinosaur was called the Irritator, as it roared into the sky, scaring away the many animals in the area.

The poacher jumped at the sudden roar, instantly grabbing his rifle while still holding his phone. "Look, I'll have to call you back. Something just came up." the poacher says before hanging up.

The poacher came from behind a rock, holding his phone in his hand while holding his .700 Nitro in the other to figure out what was making the noise. He gasped loudly as he took one look at the Irritator in front of him, fear entering his systems as it halted him in his tracks. The Irritator turned around to see the lone poacher staring up at him with wide eyes the size of dinner plates, gawking up at him. The Irritator tilted his head at the scared poacher, curious as to what it was, before it saw him lowering his phone and back up. The sight of a giant, unknown creature the poacher had never encountered ceased him to not even attempt at making a shot at it, even though it could very well save his life. That moment, the medium sized spinosaurid knew that it was a living, breathing animal of some sort, which was good because it was hungry. The Irritator opened it's mouth and roared as it lowered it's snout at the frightened poacher, whom began to run away.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"

The poacher was suddenly picked up by his leg as it was caught in the jaws of the Irritator before it raised him in the air. The poacher screamed in agonizing pain as one of his legs were broken due to being bitten by the Irritator, which continued to toy him around by just waving him in it's mouth.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! AH! AH! AAAAAAAAAAAH! MAMA!" the poacher yelled before the Irritator dropped him to the ground.

The poacher landed on his stomach before he immediately began to crawl away, but thanks to his broken leg, it proved to be a difficult task. The poacher was currently making his way to a small hut where he could take refuge, going his absolute fastest to get away from the large carnivore. Unfortunately for him, he was suddenly pinned down by the Irritator's foot before it lowered it's snout towards the poacher's head, chomping down on it.

This poacher was no longer a harm to any animals in the area, but with this dinosaur around, it's not just the animals who need to be worried.

Dinosaur King: Prehistoric Peril

At the Taylor household, the morning sun rose up into the air as it shined it's rays upon the house. Rex felt the warmth of the sun on his closed eyelids as he slowly woke up from his slumber, sleeping in the same room he slept in when he lived in the house before. Rex's room turned guest room turned back to Rex's room was as plain as day, as Rex had only arrived back in the past for two days now. He had asked his parents if he could live at the Taylor's house like before and they instantly accepted the offer, having absolutely no problem with it whatsoever. I'm not lying. I know that sounds like sarcasm but for once I'm not being sarcastic. Suck it Sheldon Cooper.

Ace, whom was sleeping with Rex like before, woke up along with his master/partner (not in that way, get yer minds outta the gutters) as he yawned into the air before stretching. Rex sat up as he rubbed his eyes, taking a quick look at his plain room, not having any intentions to decorate it as he wasn't staying that long. He would eventually go back to the future anyway after they got back the dinosaur cards that were scattered across the world. After taking a quick glance at his room, he got up from his bed to get dressed and start the day. After a quick shower and a change of clothes, Rex walked into the living room, where Max was eating breakfast while the TV played in the background.

"Morning, Max." Rex greeted his friend.

Max finished swallowing his breakfast, a tired smile on his face. "Morning, Rex." he replies before resuming his breakfast.

"Why is the TV on but no one's watching it?" Rex asks as preparing his own breakfast.

"Background noise. It's really calming to be honest." Max replies, taking another bite of his food.

"Oooooh, the best part of wakin' up is Folgers in your cup!"

The TV suddenly showed a man taking a sip from his cup of Folgers coffee with his roommate sitting at the table behind him. He paused for a brief moment before calmly setting the cup down on the counter, a calm expression on his face. The calm expression soon morphed into one of anger as he suddenly snapped his attention to his roommate, a beyond angry expression painted on his face now.

"THIS! IS! DECAF!" the man yells before suddenly kicking the table offscreen along with his roommate as a large crashing sound was heard afterwards.

Rex sat down with Max at the kitchen table as they both began eating their breakfasts, along with their chibi dinosaur partners. "So how did you sleep last night?" Max asks.

Rex swallowed his food. "It felt… nostalgic." Rex replies. "I haven't slept in that room for a long time so spending the night in it once more brought back some good memories."

"Like the time when Ace ruined your dinosaur book?" Max smugly asks with a mischievous smile.

Rex turned to Ace, whom just stuck his entire head into the dish to save himself from embarrassment. "You know it's not going to be a permanent thing, right? Me living here and all?" Rex asks.

"I know. It just feels good to see you again. Like old times." All of a sudden, Max's and Rex's Dino Bracers started beeping, indicating that a dinosaur has activated somewhere in the world. "Really like old times." Max finishes as he began wolfing down his food in a hurry.

At that moment, Max's mother and the matriarch of the family, Aki Taylor, walked into the room, her signature gentle smile on her face. "Morning, Rex." she greeted the teenaged boy.

"Morning, Mrs. Taylor." Rex greets back as he ate his food.

"It's so wonderful having you back here after all this time. You know, Max really missed you when you went back to the future." Aki reveals, receiving a blush from her only son.

"Moooooom." Max whined like a kid.

"Don't be so embarrassed, honey. If anything, it shows that you really cared about him." Aki replies, comforting her son.

"I remember Max not going to school for a week because he was still crying." Spike adds on with a mischievous smile.

"Didn't you take a few days off work too, dad?" Max asks, genuinely confused on why Spike was acting like a hypocrite.

Spike froze in place, knowing that he's been revealed too. "Well- Uh- Yes." Spike admits in defeat as he hung his head low.

"The point is, Rex, when you left, we all felt something leave our hearts too. It was really difficult coping with it but we still managed to move on." Aki says in her warm tone.

Rex blushed upon hearing how much the Taylor's missed him and if he had to be honest, he too missed them. A lot actually. When he first arrived in the future, the first thing he wanted to do was explore the city with Max and Zoe, but because of the situation, it was nothing more than a dream. After settling into his home, he didn't leave the house for weeks, still getting used to not having his two best friends with him anymore. But like time, people move on and eventually Rex found peace with a life without Max and Zoe, knowing that they'll always be in his heart and vice versa.

"We better get going if we want to catch that dinosaur." Max says, finishing his breakfast.

"I still can't believe that two years ago, you kids were going around the globe fighting dinosaurs and having dinosaurs as pets." Aki nostalgically says. "If I'm being honest, I missed having Chomp and Ace around here, even though the entire time I thought they were strange looking dogs. Isn't that right, Spike?" Aki put an emphasis on her husband's name, not out of anger but more of a friendly jab.

"I said I was sorry and I was only trying to protect you." Spike defends himself as he looked like a dog that had just been scolded.

"We'll see you later, guys!" Max calls out as he and Rex run out the door along with their partners.

"I better go to the store and pick out the chicken we're going to have for dinner tonight." Aki says as she walks away.

"Chicken? Hmmm. I can practically taste it! I'm coming too!" Spike excitedly shouts as he ran after his wife, leaving the TV to be the only thing making noise in the room.

"In other news, there appears to have been a dinosaur spotted in the deserts of Niger, doing nothing but roaming around which raises a question… Why?… Just… Why? What benefits do you have just by walking around and doing nothing? Do you find some sort of enjoyment out of that? Does it satisfy that sick, twisted mind of yours?… Now here's Phil with the weather."

"DINOSAUR!" a crazy looking man with his toupee flipped shouted at the camera as the greenscreen behind him had the map of Africa only with DINOSAUR written all over it in various places.

"Thank you, Phil. Here's a word from our sponsor."

im not sponsored :c now back to the chapter lmaoSHUT THE FUCK UP HELLHOUND

Meanwhile, up aboard the Backland II, Dr. Z and the Alpha Gang were also eating breakfast while Dr. Z was watching whatever was on the TV.

"THIS! IS! DECAF!" the man yells before suddenly kicking the table offscreen along with his roommate as a large crashing sound was heard afterwards.

"Hahahahahahahaha!" Dr. Z laughed as he rapidly leaned back and forth in his rocking chair. "It's funny cuz his roommate got hurt!"

"Dr. Z!" shouts a familiar muscular, German android maid, seizing his laughter. The mad scientist suddenly looked up, seeing the shadow of the most ferocious being ever in all of space and time and the universe: Helga. "Have you finished your breakfast yet?" she asks sternly, her eyes glowing red that could kill a thousand wildebeests.

"You mean that slop called oatmeal? I don't like oatmeal. It doesn't taste very good." Dr. Z whined in a childish tone.

"Nein! I vill have none of zat! You vill eat your oatmeal und you vill become fit und strong!" Helga sternly scolded as Dr. Z shrunk down, shorter than he usually is.

"But, Helga. I'm 76 years old. I don't need to grow up anymore! I have less years than I lived! I'm just waiting for death to come at my doorstep any minute! After I become the Dinosaur King that is." Dr. Z ranted on, cooling down at the end.

"Yeah, Helga, his bones are as fragile as dinosaur fossils." Ed backs his boss up.

Dr. Z shrunk some more upon hearing this.

"That old fossil might as well already be the dinosaur king since he has fossils for bones." Zander joked.

Once again, Dr. Z shrunk even further.

"In fact, if I weren't mistaken, you would think that Dr. Z secretly is a dinosaur since he's so old and made up of fossils." Ursula joined in on the fun.

"Quiet you, you old hag!" Dr. Z shouted immediately after Ursula closed her mouth.

"YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO CALL ME THAT! Besides, look who's calling the kettle black." Ursula pouted in a grumpy tone.

"That's racist." Ed commented in the background.

At that moment, their Alpha Scanners began beeping, indicating that a dinosaur had showed up in the world. "Ah! One of my- Iiiii mean one of Dr. Ancient's dinosaurs. Well, would you look at the time? Time to head off for work!" Dr. Z quickly says as he tried to get up from the couch.

"Nein!" Helga suddenly grabbed him with one hand before slamming him into a baby high chair completed with a bib and a pacifier. "Now eat your oatmeal or else no desert for you after dinner!" Helga tells the mad scientist.

"You spelled 'dessert' wrong." Zander pointed out to- whatever.

"Speaking of desert. It looks like the dinosaur is located at Ni- oooooooooooh. I almost said the other word. Good thing I caught that just in time, otherwise we would all be in trouble. It looks like the dinosaur is in Niger." Ursula informed the gang.

"That's racist." Ed commented in the background.

"Helga, we finished our breakfast. May we please be excused to battle and capture a wild dinosaur that may or may not eat us alive or most certainly end with us getting brutally injured?" Zander asked politely as him and his siblings held out their empty bowls for Helga to see.

"Of course, dearies. You may run along und play." Helga replies in a sweet tone, before glaring at the doctor. "As for you, you go nowhere until you finish your oatmeal!"

"Can I at least have a blueberry to add flavor?" Dr. Z asks in a defeated tone as the TV still continues to play in the background.

"Trouble with the trolly, eh? That's strange. You're the first one! No one has ever had trouble with the trolley before. In fact, controlling the trolley is so easy that a man from Skelos Badlands can do it. I would get those gears myself, but I don't want to at the moment."

"WHAT THE F- baba booey."

"Reese! Where's the dinosaur?" Zoe asks her sister as the D-Team enters the lab.

"It's in Ni- I mean, Niger." Reese quickly corrected herself.

"Were you gonna-"

"It was a slip of the tongue. I apologize for that. The words are so similar. But more importantly, it's in the middle of Africa. Surrounded by a humid desert with little to no human life out there." Reese explained.

"Aw man, the desert? I don't want to battle in the heat!" Max complained, already not liking the trip despite not even starting it.

"Imagine how our dinos would feel." Zoe says as she holds Paris in her arms.

"You forget that dinosaurs existed in the Triassic Period, so they must have a way to deal with the heat." Rex reminded the two, acting as a teacher for a minute.

"Yeah but you forget that none of our dinos are from the Triassic Period." Max retorted back in a tired tone.

Rex ceased to function upon realization. "Well- I- Uh- Well, um… you're not wrong?" Rex stammered, having nothing to say as a comeback.

Max - 1

Rex - 0

"Reese, is it the same dinosaur or did it disappear again?" Zoe asks her sister, referring to the last time they went to retrieve a dinosaur… which was like 2 days ago lol.

"Nope. This one has been active ever since. Maybe it was a glitch in the system from not being used for so long." Reese dismisses as she activates the teleporter. "Make sure to stay cool over there. Niger is one of the most humid countries out there."

"Please, we can handle the desert. We did fight in the ancient safari anyway." Max gloats in an arrogant tone.

"You mean Saraha, Max, and we didn't fight in the Sahara. We fought in ancient Persia." Rex reminded his friend with a deadpan expression.

"Same thing! We fought in the desert so we can handle a bit of heat no problem!" Max continued to gloat.

"This is a very big problem." Max complained as his entire face was covered with sweat. "Why is it so humid here? I feel like a dried out prune. My skin feels sticky. It's so dry out here even my mouth lost it's saliva. How long have we been here anyway?"

"Max, we've been out here for ten seconds." Rex tells him in the same deadpan tone.

"And I already want to go home."

"Tell me about it." says a voice. The D-Team turned to the side where they saw the Alpha Gang just slumped in the sand, downward dog style, their clothes soaked with sweat. "If I had known we would be in the desert, I would've brought my sun hat."

"I would've brought SPF 9000." Zander added on.

"I would've brought a watermelon." Ed also adds.

This resulted in him getting his face pushed into the sand by Ursula, who still had the same dead expression on her face. "Stop making me hungry, Ed." she tells him in a tired tone.

"Okay." Ed weakly says, his voice muffled in the sand.

"How long have you guys been out here?" Zoe asks the trio.

"Zander." Ursula signaled the tall one of the group.

"About two minutes." Zander answers, taking a look at his watch. "Now that we can actually teleport to our locations instead of riding one of the doctor's cooky machines, it makes traveling a lot easier."

"Yeah, unless we're transported to a desert." Ed adds on, lifting his head up from the sand.

"So I take it you guys haven't seen the dinosaur yet?" Max asks the trio.

"We've been on the ground since we got here. We don't know where the dinosaur's at." Zander answers.

"Figures someone like an old lady like you wouldn't be able to find the dinosaur." Zoe quipped while having a smug look on her face.

"It is too humid to even yell at you." Ursula groans before her head collapses onto the ground.

"Let's head to a village so we can cool down for a bit. Then we can go find the dinosaur." Max suggests, having enough of the heat.

"I'm with the brat on this one. I need a cool glass of water right about now." Zander complains, equally tired of the heat.

Ursula suddenly gasped. "Water! That's it!" With energy suddenly flowing in her systems, she stood up at lightning quick speeds. "Let's just summon Spiny and have him use Shockwave so he can cool us off! Aren't I a genius or what?"

"Or what." Rex answered sarcastically.

"Zander! Quit being lazy and summon, Spiny!" Ursula ordered her comrade.

"No offense Ursula but Spinosaurus is from the Cretaceous, not from the Triassic which was supposed to be the hottest of the three periods." Zander tells his adoptive sister.

"Come to think of it, Terry, Spiny, Tank, Chomp, Paris, and Ace are all from the Cretaceous time period. What a coinkydink!" Ed exclaims before laughing afterwards.

"I'll show you a coinkydink!" Ursula shouts before slapping his head.

"Ow." Ed grumbled.

Having enough of the bickering, and the fact they were just standing there not doing anything, Rex began looking everywhere to find a place to stay. In the distance, he found a small village which wasn't that far away to be honest, and as of the moment, a small village would be like a resort for them. "Guys! I think I found a village we could stay at and rehydrate!" Rex informs the group.

"Huh? Oh, would you look at that. The brat did find a village." Ursula says aloud.

"Do they have watermelons?" Ed asks.

"I wonder if they've seen the dinosaur." Max comments.

"Let's hope they do. Because I don't want to spend anymore time in this heat. My hair is getting frizzy." Ursula complains, sweat dripping down her face.

"Yours too, huh?" Zoe says beside her, her hair all frizzy as sweat poured down her face. "The sooner we're out of this heat and cool off, the better."

"Roger that!" the trio all simultaneously say, saluting at the teenaged girl.

Many poachers all screamed in terror and ran away as the Irritator entered their base, destroying everything in sight as it flipped over a jeep. It's tail destroyed many tents, including one where another poacher was hiding at, hoping the dinosaur would leave as he hid. Unfortunately for him, the Irritator turned around, taking a look at the poacher, whom immediately screamed and ran away.

A very familiar poacher revved up his engine as other poachers were behind him in the same jeep. "Come on! Start you piece of crap!" Ungaro shouted at the vehicle as it finally started up before he drove out of there. "I managed to escape jail to reenter the poaching business and what do I get? Another dinosaur! Just my luck!"

At that moment, one of his men came from behind a rock, signaling for him to stop and pick him up. "HEEEEEY!" the poacher shouted as Ungaro continued to drive towards him. "STOOOOOOOOOOP!"

"Cooper?!" Ungaro exclaims, recognizing his face.

"Please stop." the poacher known as Cooper begged, tears in his eyes.

"Come on, Cooper. Get out of the way!" Ungaro shouts, knowing full well his man couldn't hear him as he honked his horn. Cooper sobbed some more. "You know I can't stop this jeep!"

Cooper continued to wave to try and get his boss' attention, only to feel the ground shaking which only met one thing. He turned to the side only to see the Irritator charging towards him; upon seeing the monstrous beast, Cooper started running away, but it was too late.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOO-"

Cooper's screams were suddenly cut off when the Irritator snatched him up in his jaws, chomping hard as blood got on his snout. "OH MY GOD!" Ungaro shouts as he swerves to the side. Due to the sudden turn, the jeep began to tilt before it began rolling towards a rock, crashing completely out of commission. Meanwhile, the Irritator had just finished swallowing part of Cooper as it roared a mighty roar into the air, before running off to find more food, leaving some of Cooper behind as well.

The D-Team and the Alpha Gang had just arrived at the small village nearby, all either drinking water or eating a watermelon in Ed's case to rehydrate themselves. "I never knew water would taste so good." Zoe says in a refreshing tone.

"Thanks for the water bottles, guys." Max thanks the villagers.

"You lot need to be careful around these parts of the country. It's too hot for outsiders like you to roam around. Not to mention big game hunters and poachers stalking every corner." the villager tells the group.

"Ugh. Poachers." Zoe says in disgust.

"I hate poachers." Rex also says in disgust.

"Don't we all?" Ed comments before taking a chomp out of his watermelon.

"Uh, didn't you guys work with poachers before?" Max asks the trio.

"We did, but that was so you brats wouldn't get the dinosaur card before us." Zander explains to the teenagers.

"Yeah, but now that we're on the same side, there's no race for the cards anymore." Ed says in a happy tone before taking another bite out of his watermelon.

"Leave some for us, Ed!" Zander tells his adoptive brother as the two began to fight over the watermelon.

"It's a good thing we kept our dinos in our cards. No way would I want them to be in this heat." Rex says as he takes a swig from his water bottle.

"You do realize sooner or later we'll have to send them out to fight that dinosaur, right?" Max asks his friend.

Max, startled by the sudden realization, sheepishly smiled as he nervously scratched the back of his head as he turned towards his friend. "Uuh- Yeah! Of course I knew that! I'm not THAT dumb! Hahahahahaha." Rex nervously chuckles.

Max - 2

Rex - 0

Ursula had just finished her water bottle before she crumpled it up and grew a determined smile. "Alright! I'm re-energized and ready to fight that dinosaur! Sooooo where is it?" she asks.

"A dinosaur? What's a dinosaur?" asks the villager.

"Oh well it's basically an overgrown lizard." Ursula replies to the villager.

"With long claws!" Ed adds on, using his fingers as claws as examples.

"And razor sharp teeth that can chomp you into two! Like this!" Zander began chomping at the air as an example.

"They could also have really long necks or horns on their heads." Max says to the villager.

"Or clubbed tails." Rex also adds.

"Or sails or spikes on their backs." Zoe finishes.

"Like I said, an overgrown lizard with a few attachments." Ursula tells the villager in a kind tone as she waved her hand around.

The discussion was suddenly broken when they heard a cell phone ringing behind them, initially confusing them. They turned around to wonder why a cell phone was in a Niger village, however, when they did they wished they had never turned around. Both the D-Team and the Alpha Gang grew terrified looks as Ed dropped his watermelon, breaking it upon impact with the ground. Behind them was the Irritator, just standing there with its mouth open, showing them its razor sharp teeth, with the cell phone ringing in its stomach. It just stood there, staring at both teams as they stared back, no one making a single step, afraid it may alert the Irritator.

"Um-"

The Irritator roared, interrupting Ed as it charged forward, stepping over the D-Team and the Alpha Gang as it began destroying huts and chasing people. "You mean that thing?" the villager asks in a calm tone, pointing to the dinosaur.

"It's an Irritator!" Zander identifies.

"You can tell from that crest on it's head." Max points out to the shark-like fin on it's head as it roared into the sky.

Zoe placed her goggles on as she zoomed in on it's mouth, noticing red substances coating it's snout. "Guys, I think that dinosaur just ate something recently." Zoe points out.

"Let's hope it wasn't human." Max says as he activates his Dino Bracer. Little did they know amirite? "I'll send Chomp out for this fight."

DINO SLASH! GO, TRICERATOPS! ROAR!

Chomp was soon summoned out onto the field, landing in front of the villager, whom calmly looked up at him. "Hi." the villager calmly greeted in a deep tone.

"Don't forget about me, now." Ursula excitedly says as she kisses Terry's card before slashing him into her Alpha Scanner.

ALPHA SLASH! TYRANNOSAURUS REX, BLAZE!

The chibi Terry stood his ground as fire was set ablaze around him, like a wildfire, before volcano-like eruptions shot out from the ground all around him. Dramatic and powerful music played in the background, music fit for an arrogant, tyrant king that relied on physical power who's ultimate goal is to take over the world. Fire engulfed Terry as it slowly transformed him into the tyrant king he was as both of his hind legs grew to beastly forms. His tail was set ablaze as it grew out at astonishing speeds before finishing things off with a powerful bite, a bite so powerful that it completely transformed his head. Now fully sized, fire shot out from Terry's eyes before he gave a powerful, mighty roar into the sky, a roar fit for an actual dinosaur king.

Upon being summoned, the first thing Terry saw was Chomp, and instincts kicked in for the both of them as they faced each other before roaring. "No wait, Chomp! Don't attack, Terry! He's on our side!" Max tells his partner.

"You too, Terry! As much as I want some big fat revenge for the times that brat's Triceratops beat the big and mighty T-Rex that you are, we got to put aside our differences and work together! Huh, that sounds weird coming from me." Ursula says as stops to think for a moment.

The two dinosaurs looked at their partners before turning to each other, giving each other one last glare before facing the Irritator ahead of them. Instead of the Irritator looking back at them, it sniffed the air, catching the scent of what it wanted, before running off in another direction. "After them, guys!" Max calls out as the two dinosaurs run after the spinosaurid.

A couple of villagers were over by the lake, washing their clothes, unaware of the danger of their home. "Hey, do you ever feel like life is a lie and we're just fictional characters all stuffed into one universe for the sake of entertainment to others?" the villager asked his friend.

"SPY!" the second villager randomly shouted.

All of a sudden, the Irritator stepped from behind them, prompting them to look up to see the dinosaur staring down at them, it's razor sharp teeth visible. The two villagers screamed as the Irritator lowered it's snout; the two villagers quickly dodged out of the way before fleeing. It was soon revealed that the Irritator wasn't going to eat the villagers but instead, it was drinking out of the lake, no doubt thirsty in this heat. As it was drinking, Chomp, Terry, and their partners arrived on the scene, instantly spotting the dinosaur drinking from the lake.

"Huh. I guess it was just thirsty and hungry." Rex theorizes.

"He's not the only one." Ed says as he and Zander were waving fans at each other.

The Irritator suddenly turned around and roared at it's opponents, finally noticing them as territorial instincts kicked in; Chomp and Terry stomped in place, ready for a battle as they roared into the sky. "Let's end this as soon as possible so we can go back to air conditioning." Ursula complains as she grabs a move card. She was going to swipe it into her Alpha Scanner only to see a blue glow in front of her. "Huh?"

The Irritator glowed blue as it roared into the air before all of a sudden, geysers of water erupted from the ground as they took the shape of spears. The water spears were suddenly launched at the two dinosaurs at high velocities before impacting the two dinosaurs. Both Chomp and Terry roared as they were struck by the water move as they were flung backwards, crashing into several rocks.

"Woah! What move was that?!" Zoe exclaims in utter shock.

"That thing just used Aqua Javelin!" Ed informs the group.

"With a move like that, that thing could totally beat Terry since he's a fire type!" Rex exclaims.

"Yeah, but not Chomp because electricity beats water." Max smugly replies with a mischievous grin.

"Well… um… of course! I knew that!" Rex defended himself, though the act wasn't very good.

"You forgot, didn't you?" Max replies with the same smug tone.

"Get off my case!"

Max - 3

Rex - 0

xX_D1N0L0V3R69_Xx is DOMINATING RexMeister

"Urrrrgh! This Irritator is a major irritation! Terry, get up! Let's finish this so we can go home!" Ursula tells her dinosaur.

"You too, Chomp! Don't give up!" Max yells at his partner. The two dinosaurs slowly stood up, only for the Irritator to rush in and bite Chomp's frill as the Triceratops roared, trying to free himself from the carnivore. "Oh no! Chomp! Ursula! You gotta help him!"

Ursula merely stared at Max with a deadpan expression before laughing hysterically, pretty much laughing like J. Jonah Jameson. "Hahahahahahahaha! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Ursula finally finished laughing as she glanced back down at a very confused looking Max. "You serious? Aw, alright. Terry! Get that dinosaur off Chomp!"

While Chomp continued to struggle in the Irritator's tight grasp, Terry suddenly bit down onto the Irritator's neck as it roared out in response. Terry forced the Irritator to the ground before pushing it forward until it crashed into a rock, where Terry immediately began stomping on it, causing more damage. The Irritator roared as it raised its foot before thrashing it, giving its own kick right to Terry's face. Terry backed up as the Irritator quickly picked itself up before rushing toward the tyrant lizard king himself. The Irritator placed its head underneath Terry before lifting him up and throwing him backwards where he crashed into another rock.

"Chomp! Help Terry out! Use Lightning Strike!" Max shouts as he activates a move card.

Chomp charged a vast amount of electricity before he unleashed it at the unsuspecting Irritator. Unfortunately, the Irritator turned around and managed to dodge it at the very last second at high speeds. "Aw, it missed!" Max shouts in disbelief. In response, the Irritator roared into the air as it activated its move card again. Geysers shot out before Aqua Javelin was launched towards Chomp, striking him directly as it was sent flying away. Upon landing on the ground, Chomp bellowed in defeat before he turned into a card. "Oh no! Chomp!" Max shouts as he runs towards his partner's card.

With both of its opponents supposedly defeated, the Irritator ran off and out of the village, leaving the two groups behind. "Wow. That Irritator is tough." Zoe says as Max joins back with the group. "Where's it heading off to now?"

"Maybe to join a marathon?" Zander guesses.

Ursula called back Terry as his card appeared in her hands. "Well let's not just stand here. We need to go after it so we can catch it so we can bring it back to Dr. Z and he can finally start appreciating us!" Ursula got all giddy upon the fantasy.

"I wonder how he's doing." Ed wonders.

"ACHOO!" Dr. Z sneezed into his bowl of oatmeal. "Aw noooo! Now I got snot all over my oatmeal!"

"I don't care if you have bugs und mud in your oatmeal! You vill finish every last bite of it! Am I clear?" Helga asks in a stern tone as she towered over Dr. Z.

"Yes, Helga! Whatever you say!" Dr. Z frantically replies before he went back to hesitatingly eating his food.

Many construction workers were shown working as they were building a small building just the outskirts of the nearest town. "Let's move it out, people! We need this area cleared for demolition!" the foreman yelled to all of his workers. A single construction worker sat on several piles of wooden boards, opening up his lunch box and pulling out a sandwich. He smiled as he licked his lips, not having anything to eat all day before opening his mouth up as wide as possible, waiting to eat his delicious lunch. The moment was interrupted however when he heard growling behind him, ceasing him from his lunch as he looked up. His arm was suddenly snatched up by a pair of jaws before he was lifted off the ground, dropping his sandwich, going unnoticed by literally everyone.

"Where is David? He's supposed to be the demolition man! DeGroot! Where is your partner?!" the foreman asks one of the demolition men.

"ZZZZZZZ- Oi! Wha- Huh?" An African-American man suddenly woke up upon hearing his name, many bottles of beer around him, confused as to where he was as several bottles on his body fell to the ground.

"Jesus, DeGroot. How do you keep sneaking beers into work? I should fire you for this if you weren't such a good demoman!" the foreman threatened.

"I'm a drunk! I don't know nothing about- UURRRRRP!" DeGroot's thick Scottish accent was suddenly interrupted when he belched loudly before falling back asleep, annoying his foreman, whom facepalmed.

"Alright! We need more demomen! Who's available?!" The foreman suddenly felt shaking behind as two sets of dinosaur feet landed behind him. He turned around and looked up, seeing the Irritator swallowing David's hand before leering down onto the foreman. "Mommy." the foreman whimpered.

"Huh? Wha?" DeGroot asks, suddenly waking up as he looked up at the dinosaur.

The Irritator roared as it slashed it's claw right into DeGroot's left eye, no doubt permanently damaging. However, instead of screaming in pain, he simply burped loudly before passing out on the bench he was sleeping on before. The Irritator roared once more as the foreman screamed for his life, using his hands as shields as his human defensive instincts kicked in, even though it would not have made a difference at all. However, the Irritator stepped over the foreman and charged into the construction site, confusing the foreman as DeGroot continued to snore behind him. At that moment, the demolition man from behind, now named David, calmly walked up behind the foreman.

"Hey, can I go home early? I kind of lost an arm." David informs his boss in a monotone and a suspiciously calm tone, raising his amputated arm, revealing that his forearm was bitten off.

"That's it! I'm going back to rehab!" the foreman loudly exclaims before slamming his hardhat onto the ground, only for the hardhat to bounce back and strike him square in the face, knocking him to the ground.

The D-Team and the Alpha Gang all arrived on the scene to see the Irritator roaring, knocking down cranes and other vehicles. "If we don't beat him fast, he'll keep causing damage and might hurt somebody!" Max exclaims.

"Too late!" David shouted from behind.

"You want fast, Max? Leave this to me!" Rex exclaims as he pulls out Ace's card.

"DINO SLASH! CARNOTAURUS, BLOW HIM AWAY!"

Ace was soon summoned into the battle along with Terry and upon seeing the Tyrannosaurus, Ace instantly roared and growled at him, only to be roared back by Terry. This seemed to have stopped a future feud as Ace shrunk down to size and started whimpering like a scolded dog. "Hey! What was that for?!" Rex yells at Terry.

"Terry! Behave yourself or you're having no dinner tonight!" Ursula scolded Terry. In response, Terry growled at Ursula's direction, instantly scaring her in a second. "Or you could just eat me instead." she whimpered.

The Irritator turned towards the roars before roaring itself only to turn around and run away again. "It's running away again!" Max exclaims. I just said that.

"I wonder why it keeps running?" Zoe asks.

"If you were a prehistoric lizard from 65 million years ago and suddenly woke up to a brand new world, you would also run away scared and confused." Zander tells the teenaged girl.

"Huh. You do have a point to be honest." Zoe admits.

Zander - 1

Zo- "WE ARE NOT DOING THIS!"

The Irritator tried it's best to flee the unknown pursuers, only to be cornered like a wild animal, which it was so that means this was really bad for the dinosaur. Both Terry and Ace roared at the Irritator as it roared back, territorial instincts kicking in, wanting the entire construction site as it's own. "Careful, Ace! That thing is powerful!" Rex warned his partner. The Irritator glowed blue once more as it activated Aqua Javelin once more, the water spears shooting towards the two predators.

"That move again? Ugh, I'm getting so sick of it. How about we use Fire Cannon instead?" Ursula rhetorically asks as she uses a move card.

Flames appeared in Terry's mouth before he shot out a large ball of crackling fire towards the Aqua Javelins, intercepting and destroying each spear one by one. The fireball then struck the Irritator, causing it to be flung towards a concrete wall where it created a large crater on the side of it. It was down but not out for the count. "Now it's our turn, Ace! Go, Mayfly!" As Rex used a move card, Ace stomped on the ground as he roared into the sky before running towards the Irritator at high speeds. As he quickly sped like a bullet towards the spinosaurid, Ace quickly disappeared in front of it, initially confusing it. It wasn't until Ace began attacking the Irritator at all sides at high speeds, too much for the Irritator to battle, for it was quickly defeated and recalled back into a card.

Rex approached the card and raised it in the air. "Alright! We got the Irritator card!" Rex cheered. "Looks like I had to save you, Max? Huh? Didn't I?" Rex asks in a smug expression fitted with a smug look.

"Well- I- Uh! I- I weakened it for you! Yeah, that's right!" Max stammered, not wanting to admit defeat.

"I don't know, Max. It did seem like Rex had to take control to fight the dinosaur for you." Zoe teased with a teasing expression.

"If I didn't know better, I would say that you had trouble with the dinosaur so Rex had to take care of it for ya." Ursula teased as well.

"It's okay to call for help sometimes. Like a kid getting his big brother to beat up some bullies for him." Zander pointed out.

"It's okay. We all have our off days. No need to be ashamed." Ed tried to comfort Max, but to no avail.

"AAAAAH! ALRIGHT! FINE! I needed some help." Max mumbled the last part, salty he had to admit he needed help.

"That's all I wanted to hear." Rex replies with a smile.

Max - 3

Rex - 999,999,999

RexMeister BROKE UP with xX_D1N0L0V3R_Xx

At that moment, DeGroot suddenly woke up from his drunken slumber, and now had a marker monocle, marker mustache and the word LOSER! written out on his forehead along with swirls on his cheeks. "Oi! What did I miss?" he asks in that thick Scottish accent of his.

"You may want to get that checked out." David says to DeGroot, whom had a tourniquet on his arm to stop the bleeding.

DeGroot simply placed his hand over his damaged eye before taking a look at the huge blood spot on his hand. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" he screamed in terror.

"DeGroot!" shouted the foreman, alerting the one eyed man. "This isn't a resting site! This is a construction siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite! You're fired."

"Aw cripe!" DeGroot shouted in shock.

"So where did it go?" asks one of the construction workers to the two teams.

"Is it dead?" asked another construction worker.

"Uuuuuh, it's kind of a long story." Max nervously stammers, not knowing how to properly answer their questions.

"The point is that it won't be disturbing you guys anymore." Rex says as a substitute.

"Yeah, the village should be safe… hopefully." Zoe wasn't sure about the last comment.

"I'll be honest. I thought coming all the way out here to Niger was going to be kind of boring but I'll take a boring day over a rampaging dinosaur any day of the year. Thank you guys." one of the construction workers says to the teams with a grateful smile.

"It just sucks I'm surrounded by black people." mumbled one of the workers as he pouted.

"Okay, now THAT is racist." Ed points out as he pointed to the man.

"We should probably go back to the village and see how they're doing as well." Max says to the group.

"Or we could teleport out of here and just leave the heat! See you guys later! Byyyyyyye!" Ursula shouts as the Alpha Gang grabbed the D-Team and teleported out of there, leaving a bunch of confused construction workers behind.

"Alright, everyone back to work." says one of the workers.

"Hey, has anyone seen my sandwich?" David asks the crew.

"I wonder why the Irritator was going on a rampage in the first place." Zoe wonders as the two teams look at the card in the Backland II.

"Maybe what Zander said is right. Maybe it was just scared and confused." Rex theorizes.

"I still stand by that theory." Zander points out.

"Maybe it was territorial instincts." Jonathan pointed out. "Dinosaurs, especially carnivorous ones, were thought to be protective of their territory, fighting anything that trespassed onto it. Whether it be dominance or for protecting a family, one thing is for certain, they were ruthless when they fought for territory… Or maybe it's what Zander said and it was just scared and confused. Who knows?"

"Hey, where's Dr. Z?" Max suddenly asked.

As if on cue, Dr. Z burst through the doors, a triumphant smile on his face as he raised his spoon and an empty bowl in the air. "HUZZAAAAAAH!" he shouted. "I am the conqueror that is all oatmeal! Now let's go catch that dinosaur!"

"You're late again, Dr. Z. We just came back." Ed tells his boss.

"What?! NOOOOOOOOOO!" Dr. Z yelled in defeat, his voice echoing throughout the Backland II, loud enough that people from outside the ship heard it.

"No, I'm saying my entire arm has been chewed off." David the construction worker from earlier says over the phone, half of his arm still bleeding. "You're not going to believe this but by a dinosaur... Yeah, ha ha ha. Laugh all you want but I've got witnesses... Look, can you just send someone over here to fix my arm? I'm sort of bleeding to death here... What do you mean you can't?... What do you mean this isn't the Nigerian Hospital? Who did I call?... The Prince of Nigeria... and I so happen to be the heir to your throne? And all you'll need are my credit card info and social security number?... HA! Fat chance! I'll just drive myself to the pharmacy."

With that, David hung up the phone with a triumphant smile on his face because he successfully avoided a scam... or so he thought. Turns out, on the other end of the line, was the actual Nigerian Prince, whom had a confused expression on his face before shrugging it off. "Oh well. I tried." the Prince says before slamming the phone on the counter. "Chinara! He said no! Use the money to fund those very dangerous machinery that'll pollute the air! Oh, and don't worry about the health coverage. I'm leaving that one out in fine print."

(I apologize for how shit this chapter was.

This chapter officially starts a new turn towards Dinosaur King: People being eaten alive. This won't be the first time either, oh no, there are going to be plenty of human eating in this story. Mostly from the antagonist [no he's not eating people but you'll see what I mean when he's eventually, officially introduced]. Also you might be wondering why didn't the poacher just shoot the Irritator at the beginning? Well, if I did that then the whole chapter would've been over and my entire stocks would've crashed. Also how did David not scream for having his arm ripped off? Mostly comedy but if you want a real answer, he's a totally laid back guy with a disorder where he can't feel pain. Also if any of you gamers noticed, yes that is the Demoman from TF2. I wanted to do a little thing where I just throw all the TF2 classes into this story as minor characters. I'm gonna bring back DeGroot for a future chapter cuz Demoknight lol

Also this shouldn't go unnoticed but I had to actually search up the n-word on here to see if I had accidentally written it. Gotta be cautious. As the Church Guy and his safe room says, better safe than sorry.

This entire chapter was one big Jurassic Park 3 reference and I have no regrets lmao. I had fun writing this chapter. When it comes down to it, doesn't it matter to just have fun?

…

No?

…

okey :c)
