Tres días sin verte mujer

Tres días llorando tu amor

Tres días que miro el amanecer

Mariachi played over the outdoor restaurant in beautiful San Jose, Costa Rica, as many of it's residents were outside, ranging from kids playing football (soccer) in the dirt street, to adults visiting stores. In this particular restaurant, a middle aged man fitted in a nice white suit and white fedora with a black stripe, beside him were two men dressed in black suits, most likely the first man's bodyguards. There was a fourth person, sitting across the small table from the first man, and this man had ordinary clothing compared to his colleague.

Nomás tres días yo te amé

Y en tu mirar me perdí

Y hace tres días que no sé de ti

"¡Deberías haber visto la expresión en la cara del hombre! (You should've seen the look on the guy's face!)" the white suit man exclaimed in spanish. "Entonces, estoy parado allí, con la pistola en la su boca, y comienza a gritar el nombre de la esposa de su hermano. Diciendo que nunca tuvo la oportunidad de acostarse con ella. Hua haha haha haha! (So, I'm standing there, gun in his mouth, and he starts yelling the name of his brother's wife. Saying that he never had a chance to sleep with her. *laughs like a schoolgirl*)" the man laughed afterwards.

"Si. Sí, recuerdo ese caso, Él Matacho. (Yes. Yes, I remember that case, Él Matacho.)" the other man says, revealing his occupation was related to the law.

¡Dónde! ¿Dónde estás?

¡Con quién me enseñas?

¡Dónde! ¿Dónde estás?

¡Qué estás haciendo?

"Luego resultó que la corte no se trataba del hombre al yo estaba amenazando con matar. ¡Se trataba de la esposa! HAAAA HAHA HAHA HAHA! (Then it turned out that the court was not about the man I was threatening to kill. It was about the wife! *laughs like a little 5 year old cuz he got the new iPhone 17 for Christmas thanks to his dumb cunt parents lol*)" the man now known as Él Matacho guffawed loudly. "Resulta que el marido mató a su esposa. (Turns out that the husband killed his wife.)" Él Matacho says before wiping a tear from his eye.

"Disculpe, Él Matacho, pero ¿de qué querías venir a hablarme? (Excuse me, Él Matacho, but what did you want to come talk to me about?") the second man asks.

Tres días que no sé

Qué es alimento

Sólo tomando

Me he podido consolar

"Your Honor, a chapter has many words, no?" Él Matacho asks in a thick Latino accent.

"Then I would like to skip to the ending." says the judge in an old Latino accent.

"This is why I love you, your Honor." Él Matacho says, pointing an already lit cigar towards the judge. "Always wanting to get to the end, often skimming through details or outright ignoring them, and never checks to see what happened before the ending because already by then, you will know the future and how the events in the chapter happened. No questions asked ever afterwards. That's why you're my favorito (favorite)."

Ayayayayay

Ayayayayay

Ayayayayay

Tu amor me va a matar

"What's your point, hijo? (son, not literally, in an old man manner)" the judge asks impatiently.

"You know that murder at the bridge, where a man fell from the bridge and hit the concrete below?" Él Matacho begins to explain. "The man that fell turned out to be an undercover cop trying to get deep within our ring to find the leader. One of the Aussie's men found out about the undercover cop and reported to me and the Aussie. My men picked him up in less than an hour and threw him off the bridge. I want you to make the case towards our side, your Honor." Él Matacho finishes this off by taking a puff from his cigar.

"I believe it was a suicide." the judge responds with a nod.

"I believe you are right, amigo. (come on, this one's obvious)" Él Matacho replies happily, laughing afterwards. Right at that moment, his phone began ringing, interrupting the swell conversation the two were having. "¿Hola?" Él Matacho says.

His expression suddenly turned to shock upon hearing what the person on the other end had to say. "Why are you calling me?" Él Matacho asks, resulting in odd looks from both the judge and his two bodyguards. "What happened?… Ay Dios mío (Oh my God)… You can't be serious?… Wai- Hold on… Sto- Hey! Shut up for un momento. Now look here…" Él Matacho suddenly stopped, meaning the other person on the line started yelling again.

The judge and his two bodyguards continued to observe Él Matacho having a freak out on the phone.

"You are speaking nonsense…" Él Matacho said over the phone. "It could've been the Feds… FBI, maybe… You know the Gran Hombre is not going to like this, right amigo?… Alright, stop talking. We're on the phone. They could hear us. Where are you right now?… That fast?… Okay! Okay! Calm down! Look, we can't talk over this. We'll meet in person."

Él Matacho dramatically closed his flip up cell phone, turning his gaze back to the corrupt Costa Rican judge. "Asegúrese de que el caso termine a nuestro favor. (Make sure the case ends in our favor.)" Él Matacho says to the judge before standing up and putting his white fedora over his head. "Diego. José." Él Matacho says to his two bodyguards before walking down the dirt street.

Ayayayayay

Yo qué voy a hacer

Si me niegas alma mía

Tu querer

The judge however was left alone with his half eaten lunch and forced to pay the bill, not really a problem for the judge, just that he wasn't expecting it. "Comprueba, por favor. (Check, please.)" the judge politely requests in Spanish.

Él Matacho got inside the passenger side of the vehicle while Diego got in the back, leaving José outside of the vehicle. "Not you." Él Matacho tells the bodyguard. "Go back to the safe house and get what The Fist asked us to prepare. The deal is going down tonight and nothing is stopping us."

"Señor," José suddenly says, interjecting his boss. "I thought the other guy had the other end of the deal covered?"

"If he had, I wouldn't be telling you to get the briefcase." Él Matacho replies. "Now I am not going to stand here and talk to you all day. Go back and get the briefcase!"

Later that night, a gray SUV drove down a dirt path; the only passenger inside the vehicle was José. In the front passenger seat was a briefcase containing unknown assets inside. While it wasn't storming, there were still strong winds in the small country, strong enough to be potent opponents to the many trees in the city. Despite the heavy winds as well as the night sky, José still managed to maneuver his way down the dirt path, going at an alarming speed for that matter.

"Debería haber estado allí ahora. (I should have been there now.)" José mumbles to himself.

José continued to drive down the dirt road, his headlights still shining down the road so he wasn't completely blind. However, mother nature had other plans; a large branch came flying out of nowhere, being blown off from it's tree. José spotted the branch just in the nick of time as he swerved out of the way, only for the branch to strike the back of José's SUV. José spun out of control until he crashed side first into a tree, windows shattering and the airbag being deployed afterwards. During the spin, the briefcase had flown out of the window, having smashed right through it during the spinning disaster that was the crash.

While the car horn continuously honked into the air with José unconsciously lying his head against the airbag, the briefcase was outside, lying on the dirt road. Right at that moment, lightning struck down from the heavens, snapping off a piece of a large tree branch next to the dirt road. The tree branch fell towards the earth before crushing the briefcase on the ground below, completely breaking it and the locks. After the briefcase was broken, the contaminants flew into the air, which were in reality two dinosaur cards, which both turned silver upon being hit by the wind.

A theropod reached it's neck into the sky as lightning struck down, giving the dinosaur a silhouette in the night, where one could see the frills on top of it's head. This dinosaur was no doubt taller than a human, nine feet at most, with three claws as well having tan colors and spots all over his body. This dinosaur was known as the Dilophosaurus; the Dilophosaurus chirped before turning to the car, where the honking had suddenly stopped. Inside the crashed SUV, José had just awoken up from unconsciousness where he dizzily stepped out of the vehicle, holding his bleeding head.

He suddenly stopped in front of his tracks when he saw the large dinosaur, to a human's size that is, staring at him, with a sinister "smile" while making innocent chirps. The Dilophosaurus continued to observe the strange creature it had never seen before, finding it intrigued by it as it tilted it's head after more observing. José however began to back away, scared of a creature he had never seen in his entire life, accidentally falling backwards onto the ground. José looked back at the Dilophosaurus, which was now above him; lightning struck as the sounds of screeching and rattling. Shortly afterwards, the sounds of something being spat out was heard before the murderous screams of José were heard screaming into the night. The screams suddenly faded as the sounds of flesh tearing took over all while lightning illuminated the stormy, windy sky.

Dinosaur King: Prehistoric Peril

Max and Amy were shown beside each other next to the school with Max leaning against the school wall and playing a video game on a handheld console, aka Pokémon: Black on the Nintendo DSi. Meanwhile, Amy was calmly reading a book beside the spiky haired teen, having a different form of entertainment. Currently at the moment, Max was using his Zebstrika against Skyla's Swanna, which was an easy win for any Pokémon player in the world. So easy that even Max could win for a chance. So easy that there was absolutely no way for one to fail.

"This sucks on ice." Max exclaims in frustration, finding a way to fail.

Right at that moment, the sounds of doors opening interrupted Max's embarrassing attempt at getting a gym badge, prompting him to look behind him. There, he saw Zoe walking out with a smile on her face; upon seeing his friend's face, Max also grew a bright smile.

"Hey, Zoe!" Max calls out, waving his hand at her.

Unfortunately, what Max didn't see was that Francis was walking beside her, exiting through the second door of the dual front doors. Just seeing Francis' face made Max frown, his day, even though it was the end of school, was already ruined just by seeing that absolute buffoon's face.

"So anyway," Francis says, continuing his story. "he takes a single bite out of the burger and straight up says, 'Hey, this burger taste like shit. Does this taste like shit to you?' and I just shake my head and I say, "No, Todd. This doesn't taste like shit at all.' He goes, 'Nah! This is SHIT!' So what does a normal, functioning teenager like Todd do? Drives all the way back to Wendy's, keep in mind, this is in another prefecture by the way, starts a fight with the manager until the manager promises him to give him some sort of coupon or discount or something to make him stop."

"Did he take it?" Zoe asks, genuinely interested in the story.

"Yeah, he does." Francis continues. "But not even a week passes and he drives all the way back over there, gets in a fight with them about how the coupons don't work or something. Keep in mind, he has lots of time. He has nothing but time outside of school. So anyway, he gets in a fight with the manager until he eventually sues the entire establishment… and wins."

"He won?! How did he win?!" Zoe shouts in absolute disbelief.

"I don't know, but I'm pretty sure Family Guy did this first when Peter ate like 30 cheeseburgers and had a stroke and sued them only to lose in the end." Francis says in a monotone voice.

"And Todd's how old?" Zoe asks.

"16." Francis answers.

"Wow… What did he do with the money he got after suing Wendy's?"

"Jack-in-the-Box." Francis simply replies.

If looks could kill, then Max would have slaughtered Francis into pieces before shredding said pieces in a tree shredder before throwing THOSE pieces BACK into the shredder… with a gunshot wound to the heart. Max was furious, absolutely enraged all around, upon seeing Zoe hanging out with that buffoon of a human, Francis. That's all Max thought about Francis, someone beneath him, someone so insignificant, so obscure, that it wasn't even worth his time to even acknowledge his presence. Yet, here he was, having a one sided war with Francis, both of their colonies in a heated, ferocious, bloody battle, with one side fighting for love while the other forgot to bring their own rifles to the battlefield. (Speech 100)

"Pst. Max." Amy whispers behind him, managing to break Max's anger filled trance. "Do you know if Zoe is dating Francis?"

"How should I know?" Max asks, failing to mask his jealousy and anger.

"Well, you and Zoe hang out the most. Plus she keeps deflecting the question whenever I ask her." Amy replies.

"Well, we'll ask right now. Hey, Zoe!" Max calls out to the pinkette.

Upon hearing her name, Zoe turned her head to see Max waving at her by the side of the school. "Hey, Max. Were you waiting for me?" Zoe asks as she and Francis approached the two.

"Yeah, I was, kind of." Max replies, hostility in his voice.

"Amy, have you met Francis? Francis, this is Amy I was talking about. One of my best friends." Zoe tells the teenaged boy, slightly shoving him towards Amy to greet her.

Francis was shoved so close to Amy that he had accidentally pinned her against the tree, leaving the two of them to barely have space for each other. "Yeah, hi." Francis greets with a nervous smile.

"Hey." Amy replies with a nervous smile as the two shook hands closely to each other.

"Max, I know you said you've known Francis your whole life, but still, say hi to him." Zoe politely asks her friend.

Though hesitant and absolutely against the idea of saying hi towards a person he had mixed, unexplained feelings for, he still obliged to Zoe's order, still having nightmares over the last time Zoe didn't get her way. "Hey, Francis." Max greets, not even trying to hide his disdain for the adolescent.

"Hi, Max. How's it going?" Francis asks, finally getting himself unstuck due to Zoe's shove.

"Zoe, me and Max were wondering if…" Amy suddenly turned to Francis, whom in return innocently looked back. "Francis, could you… I mean, we're having a private… conversation here."

"Oh. Oh! Oh, yeah! Of course. Let me just… Go this way." Francis sheepishly says, sidestepping out of the way, leaving the three teenagers to themselves.

"What is it that made you get rid of Francis?" Zoe asks the timid girl.

"Well, me and Max have been wondering, well… Well, we noticed that you've been spending time with him for a while now… Almost everyday… and we were wondering-"

"Oh, for crying out- She's wondering if you're dating Francis." Max asks after impatiently interrupting Amy.

"I mean, yeah, you could just outright ask that." Amy replies with an uncertain expression, slightly offended she got interrupted.

In an instant, a massive blush grew on Zoe's cheeks as she no longer could hide the smile she was trying so hard to hide. "D-Dating? No, I mean- We're not. I- I mean, we're just good friends. Why? Has he said anything about me? What has he said?" Zoe asks, suddenly interested if the teen had said something about her.

"He didn't really say anything. We just thought you were dating him since you spend so much time with him is all." Amy responds.

"No offense, Zoe, but you could so much more better than… him." Max emphasized this by glancing towards Francis' direction.

The trio suddenly turned to Francis, where they saw him standing by a tree, continuously taking off and putting on his sunglasses over his eyes as he squinted up in the sky. "Why is one of my lenses lighter than the other?" he asks no one in particular.

"That still doesn't prove that me and Francis are dating." Zoe replies as she looks away to avoid staring at Francis.

"Well, are you two?" Max asks, already fed up with the conversation.

"I already said no!" Zoe shouts back, clearly agitated.

"It's alright if you two are, Zoe." Amy suddenly speaks up. "As long as you're happy, that's all that matters."

"That's sweet of you, Amy, but I'm serious. Me and Francis aren't dating. Trust me." Zoe gently tells the two with a warm smile.

Max and Amy had separate looks, Amy having a warm smile equal to Zoe's while Max had a look that was a mixture of skeptical and annoyed.

"Francis!" Max calls out, not believing in Zoe's fairy tale.

"Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Max!" Zoe panics, waving her arms around to stop her friend.

Meanwhile over with Francis, another kid wearing an orange beanie had joined him sometime in between transmissions with a rolled up leaf, to which he gladly gave it to Francis. Upon retrieving the godly creation that is the element of grass, leaves, Francis had the questionably best/worst idea he had ever had. He stuck the rolled up leaf in his mouth, acting as if it was a joint, a cigar, a cigarette, or whatever small, tube-like objects that are used to smoke. Crack pipe, maybe.

"Light me up, Todd." Francis tells his friend, now known as Todd. In response, Todd used his hand as wind cover while he lit up the leaf with his lighter. Immediately afterwards, Francis began smoking from the leaf, actually managing to get some of the smoke inhaled before blowing it out afterwards. "I just smoked a raw leaf. What is wrong with me?"

"Francis!" Max calls out once again, grabbing the teenager's attention.

"Oh! Max!" Francis calls out, stumbling his way towards Max in a Jack Sparrow type of style. You know, the signature point of a finger and drunkenly walking towards the direction with bulging, exaggerated eyes…? … Am I just trippin' or does Jack Sparrow not have a type of walk?

Todd observed Francis' odd behavior that had appeared immediately after he smoked a raw leaf, before glancing down at said raw leaf. He took one whiff of the smell before retracting away, giving the burning leaf an odd look fitted with a raised eyebrow.

"Maxwell!" Francis gleefully calls out, finally approaching the spiky haired teen.

"Don't call me that." Max immediately says afterwards with lidded eyes.

"Oh. Okay. Sorry." the former teen replies back in a monotone voice.

"Max! Max! Max! You have to think this through for a bit!" Zoe pleads in a panicked tone.

"He does?" Francis asks, not certain on what the situation was.

"I have thought this through for a bit." Max retorts in a smug tone.

"You have?" Francis asks once more, still having no clue on what this was about.

"Seconded. Max, please don't ask the question." Zoe continues to beg at her friend.

"Wait! Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah! Hey! Hey! Hey!" Francis rapidly stammers, having a frightened look on his face for an odd reason. "Max, I think you're cool and all but… I don't… I am not financially supported enough to start a family with you let alone get married."

The three teens stared at Francis with odd expressions on their faces, having absolutely no clue on what he was rambling about.

"What?" Max asks in a bewildered tone.

"Huh?" Francis asks back, already having forgotten his last sentence.

"What are we talking about?!" Max exclaims, flabbergasted at the events that had just unfolded.

"I don't know. You called me." Francis replies back in a defensive tone.

Max shook his head to shake himself away and out of the trance he was in to snap back into reality. "Right. Yeah. I did." Max says in a sarcastic realization tone. "Francis, are you and Zoe dating?"

"Pfft. No." Francis scoffed with a grin.

"Why'd you say it like that?" Zoe asks in a hurt tone, peeking over Max's shoulder.

"Cuz I didn't think we were… We're not, right?" Francis asks, suddenly not feeling confident in his situation.

"No, which both you AND I confirmed. So there, Max. You have your answer. We are NOT dating? What do we win?" Zoe asks in a sarcastic and smug manner, causing Max to ALMOST have an aneurysm.

"My ass!" Max shouts in anger.

"Ew. Can we get something else?" Zoe asks with a raised eyebrow.

"No no no… Go on." Francis tells Max, genuinely interested in the prize.

Right at that moment, muffled beeping was heard from inside Zoe's backpack, and since she had her phone in her hand like all teenaged girls, this could only mean one thing.

"Oops. Sorry. That must be the guy I'm trying to barter with." Francis suddenly says, reaching into his pocket to pull out his flip phone. "Nevermind. Just five missed calls from granny." he says after realizing it wasn't his phone.

"Uh, that's my phone." Zoe reveals in a sheepish tone, trying to conceal her secret.

"Your phone is in your hand, Zoe." Amy says, looking directly at Zoe's phone in her hand.

In response, Zoe just actively stared at her, not all prepared to lie to her friends on such a short notice. "It's my other phone." she lies once more.

Silence filled the area before Francis broke said silence with, "I believe it."

"Same here." Max agrees with an annoyed expression on his face.

"Oh, shove it! Both of you!" Zoe yells at the two of them.

"No." Max defies.

"Okay." Francis obeys, only to realize his blunder. "I mean, no."

"Grr! Whatever! I'm going to take this call. Max, come on." Zoe impatiently demands her friend.

"Why do I have to go for your phone call?" Max asks, genuinely confused on why she needed him.

Zoe felt a vein pop in her forehead, believing for just a second that he was joking but upon realization that he's Max, she realized that possibility had a -0% of happening. Yeah, -0%. That's like a fictional number and yet Max managed to obtain said number by griefing the game. He wasn't clever enough to do the glitch because he's a dumb fucking idiot moron who can't tie his own shoes and when asked to do the dishes, he's already dropped ino a coma after eating 15 tide pods because he's a dumb fucking pussy lil bitch… Why do people think I hate Max? He's like one of my favorite characters both in the anime and when writing him lol

"Because it's a very important phone call." Zoe emphasizes in hopes for Max to realize what she meant.

Alas, she was met with silence on Max's end. "…"

"One that requires all of us to hear."

"…"

"Those that are close to our friend circle? Including Rex?"

"…"

"The kind of phone call you have to go very long distances just to answer them?"

"Go on." Max suddenly says, his ignorance merged with his stupidity.

"Oh for crying out- Come on!"

With that, Zoe grabbed him and practically dragged him in the air as she sped off to a more private spot away from everyone else. Of course, this meant that she had left Francis and Amy behind as well, whom were still standing next to each other with different expressions. Francis had a more slightly surprised look while Amy was just left dumbstruck and confused on Zoe's odd behavior.

"Well that was… something, to say the least." Francis concludes in the awkward moment. He suddenly began blinking rapidly as his pupils rapidly shrunk all of a sudden as he grew a very startled expression. "Why is the air… so… liquidy?"

"Francis?" Amy calls out, leaning towards Francis as a concerned look grew on her face. "Are you alright?"

"It's in my… It's in my head!" Francis shouts before growing an angry expression, afterwards turning towards Todd's direction, his face contorted to one of absolute rage. "Todd! I KNOW YOU STOLE MY LAST CAN OF BEANS! ERRRAAAAAAAAAGH!" Francis shouts in absolute, furious rage as he charges towards Todd off screen.

"Stop! Yes, you, citizen!" shouts a voice as more screaming was heard.

"Halt! Citizen! Hey! You there! Stop" shouts another voice afterwards.

What followed afterwards were the sounds of shouting, things being knocked over, punching, and cheering from the crowd, which only meant one thing: schoolyard fight. This just left Amy alone, having been left behind by her friends in just a short notice. "Why does everyone I care about leave me?" she asks in an emotionless and eerie tone.

(its funny cuz she had to leave her pet lizard behind hahaaa what an idiot!)

"Ow! Zoe! Why'd you do that?" Max asks in an angry tone after being forcefully dragged away behind the school by the pinkette.

"I had to get away from Amy and Francis." Zoe replies in a whisper.

"Why? I thought you were best friends with Amy and in LOOOOOVE with Francis?" Max asks in a dramatic, smug tone fitted with an equally smug smile.

"Shove it, Max!" Zoe yells with a blush. "If you really don't know, it's because another dinosaur appeared. That's what the beeping was. How could you forget that?"

"I don't know. I've been having these crazy dreams about the Earth turning back to the prehistoric ages where dinosaurs rule the earth again while the humans are left to fend for themselves." Max replies in a grim, eerie tone.

"You need to stop watching Dinosaur Planet late at night." Zoe tells her friend with lidded, unamused eyes.

"It's weird because it's everytime I eat those brownies with the weird taste I get those dreams." Max finishes with an unsure expression.

For a moment, Zoe thought of interjecting and explaining but realized it would be pointless to explain to Max and because it's funny he doesn't know the truth. "Forget it." she says to herself.

"Anyway, WHY did you bring me here?!" Max asks in agitation. Zoe didn't say a word, instead raising her DinoShot, which was beeping and blinking at the same time. Max's frustrated expression didn't change at all upon receiving his answer. "That's… one theory." he says, his expression unchanging.

"Max, the less people know about us the better." Zoe tells her friend.

"How is it better? Everyone in the world knows that the dinosaurs came back to life two years ago!" Max loudly exclaims.

"Yeah, but they don't need to know WE KNOW how. That could be, you know… suspicious… and a risk of public humiliation." Zoe shyly says afterwards.

"You know, when you put it like that, I agree with you." Max finalizes, suddenly shifting his case.

"Come on." Zoe says to her friend, nudging her head behind her as a gesture. "Let's head to the lab. Rex probably can't contain all of his excitement for long."

Despite Zoe's theory, Rex was in fact able to contain ALL of his excitement in… by sleeping. Yes, that's right, folks. He's sleeping. Where? Well therein lies a tale of suspense. Short version: Rex forgot the password to the Backland II. Currently, the blonde teen was sleeping in the Taylor's guest bedroom which was his room before he left to the future. At the moment, Rex still had his casual clothes on, wasting no time in catching up on a nap as soon as he got into the room. Right beside him, his DinoShot suddenly started blinking and beeping, which somewhat woke Rex up as he began mumbling and moving in his slumber.

"Five more minutes, Mrs. Taylor." Rex mumbled in his sleep as he snored.

He continued to sleep near the border of slumber and consciousness until he heard the sounds of twigs snapping followed by a slap on the window and the window itself creaking. This alone managed to wake Rex up enough, saying "Huh?" mid snore as his somnolent eyelids gently glazed his eyeballs enough for him to see through the cracks. Through his eyes, Rex saw the guest room window slightly closed with the sunlight peering in; after quickly looking at the window, he found nothing wrong with it and figured he dreamt those sounds and went back to snoring. A couple seconds later, a sparrow with a collar that had the name Jack on it flew straight into the window, falling towards the ground unconscious afterwards.

"Okay. I'm awake." Rex says in an agitated tone as he opens his eyes.

Right at that moment, Ace had burst into the room with a bag over his head, going absolutely ballistic as he had no way to see, acting similar to that of a cat with a bag on it's head as well. Ace had blindly ran into Rex's room before tripping on Rex's DinoShot, sending it flying into the air where it coincidentally struck Rex right in the middle of his face. Rex yelled in pain as he fell back down on his bed, the DinoShot landing in his crotch, no doubt scoring 15 points to Gryiffondor from the nut shot.

"I just wanted to take a nap." Rex cried after the horrible awakening he had just had.

Right at that moment, Rex's bedroom door opened once more after being forcefully opened by a rampaging Ace, revealing that Mrs. Taylor was behind said door. "Rex? What's all the noise?" she asks in her motherly voice.

"It WAS me taking a nap, but now… it's my torment." Rex says in a melancholy voice.

Behind the door, Aki shot Rex an odd look before looking away, suddenly feeling awkward at that moment. "Is this what… going goth… starts as?" she asks herself. Her thoughts were interrupted by Rex's DinoShot beeping and blinking loudly, enough for her to grab her attention. "Rex, your toy gun is making noises."

"It's not a toy gun, it's a DinoShot." Rex explains, sitting up with tired eyes. "Reese made these for the three of us. It helps track down dinosaurs and battle them so we could turn them back into cards."

"Still unbelievable that you did that for a whole year two years ago and I had never known." Aki recollects out loud with a reminiscent smile.

"Unbelievable that so many people actually bought our 'dog' lies." Rex mumbles to himself. "Well, I better get going. Zoe and Max are probably waiting for me."

"Will you be staying for dinner?" Aki asks as Rex walks over to the window.

"Maybe. I haven't decided yet. Speaking of dinner, I was thinking maybe on Friday night we could have-" Rex suddenly stopped mid sentence when he took a look at the desk beside the window, spotting something that should've been there but wasn't. "Shit."

"Excuse me?!" Aki shouts, startled by the sudden swear that finished the sentence.

"I mean, shoot- Sorry!" Rex exclaims, shaking his head to get it together.

"Is everything alright, Rex?" Aki asks, now fully walking inside his room.

"It's gone." Rex says in a panicked tone, looking through the drawers.

"What is?" Aki asks as a notebook crashed into the wall beside her.

"My keycard." Rex answers, looking inside the piggy bank.

"What keycard?" Aki asks once more, raising an eyebrow.

"For the Backland!" Rex yells, agitated by answering the questions.

"The what now?" Aki asks, having been completely lost from the start.

Rex dropped the drawer he had in his hands as he grew a very agitated expression on his face. The expression itself made it look as though he was determined to drive his head through a brick wall and was just about to do it. He slowly turned around and looked Aki in the eyes, trying his hardest to not lose his patience during this time.

"The big, giant spaceship that we came from the future with?" Rex asks, trying to jog Mrs. Taylor's memory.

"Oooh, that's what it's called?" Aki questions, never knowing this in the past.

"Yes, and without my keycard, I can't get inside it." Rex concludes, slowly getting his patience back.

"Why do you need the keycard?" Aki asks once again, seemingly forgetting the prior conversation.

"The Backland?!" Rex yells in frustration.

"The Backland needs a keycard?" Aki asks with a raised eyebrow.

Rex turned around, no longer able to contain his anger and annoyance towards Mrs. Taylor, evident by dragging his fingers across his cheeks. "Two years. It has been two years since I left. Why is everyone so dumb after just. Two. Years." Rex whispers to himself.

"Maybe Spike took it? He was in here to check up on you earlier today." Aki reveals, trying to soften the situation.

"Well, all I know is that no keycard, no access to the Backland. I'm gonna have to call my parents." Rex sighed afterwards, placing his hands on his hips as he shook his head in disbelief. "Can't believe I lost it. It was right here!"

"Well, you'll have time to look for it later. Don't you have that… dinosaur… hunt?" Aki asks, not sure what to call it.

"Yeah, no, no you're right. You're right." Rex says in a daze, still in utter disbelief that he had lost his keycard.

"How about this? I'll look for it while you're off on your adventure? Does that sound good?" Aki asks in a sweet, motherly tone.

"Yeah, that sounds good to be honest." Rex replies, feeling a bit better now. "I've got to run. I'll see you later today, Mrs. Taylor! Good luck on finding my keycard!" Rex calls out as he and Ace ran out of the room.

Unbeknownst to Rex, Aki gave him a warm smile, happy that he was back in her life even if it was only temporarily. Outside, Rex had just closed the front door of the Taylor's house before walking towards the curb. At that moment, however, Rex's phone began ringing the tune of the anime's theme song because that's apparently a thing in anime where the show will play the theme song apart of a 'concert' like episode except this isn't a concept episode, this is a jurassic park reference chapter.

"Hello?" Rex greets upon answering the phone.

"Hi, Rex!" his father says over the phone.

"Hey, Dad. What's up?"

Dr. Ancient could be seen inside the Backland, a welder's mask over his forehead while Dr. Cretacia was hanging from a cable, screwing in new decoration parts for the Backland's lab.

"I just wanted to let you know that after we're done decorating, your mother and I will finally be processing those new cards you brought in." Dr. Ancient replies with a smile on his face.

"Dad, it's been four days since Sweden. Why are you doing it now?" Rex asks as he tugs Ace away from the curb as a car drove on the road.

"Your mother thought it was a good idea to go 'clubbing' now that we're in the past and threw her hip out during the Cha Cha Slide." Dr. Ancient replies in an unamused tone.

"It fixed my back though!" Dr. Cretacia shouts from the distance.

"I told you, that's not physically possible!" Dr. Ancient yelled back, obviously not his first time telling his wife this.

"So why did you have to call me if all you're going to do is process the new cards?" Rex asks on the other end of the phone.

"Well, you see, in order for us to process the cards, we need the stone tablet." Dr. Ancient explains over the phone. "You know, to make sure the cards aren't fake and that they are real. If there was a security leak before all this, chances are there might be one in the future so I don't want to take any chances."

"Oh no!" Dr. Cretacia shouts as she drops her hammer to the ground, which landed on an Alpha Droid below.

"So you want us to bring the stones to the Backland immediately after getting the card?" Rex asks, still holding onto his Carnotaurus partner.

"Card? What card?" Dr. Ancient asks, not caught up with current events.

"Haven't you heard?" Rex's voice was heard over the phone. "Another dinosaur just popped up. I'm actually headed to the D-Lab right now." At that moment, bird poop had fallen right on Rex's shoulder, prompting him to nonchalantly turn to his shoulder.

"That's amazing. Well, remember. Head straight to the Backland so me and your mom can start processing the new card." Dr. Ancient tells his son.

Behind him, Dr. Cretacia could be seen being lowered to the ground by an unknown Alpha Droid, trying to grab the hammer she dropped earlier. Unfortunately, she suddenly crashed to the ground along with the Alpha Droid that was holding onto her, having lost it's grip while trying to keep her sustained in the air. Both Dr. Cretacia and the Alpha Droid crashed to the ground, landing on top of the Alpha Droid that had got the hammer dropped on it's head.

"Alright then." Rex replies. Right at that moment, a click was heard over the phone, causing Rex to raise an eyebrow in confusion. "What was that?" he asks.

"What was what?" Dr. Ancient asks, not understanding what his son meant.

"You didn't hear that? That clicking sound?" Rex asks in a baffled tone.

"No?" Dr. Ancient's voice was heard over the phone.

"Huh… Weird… I guess it must be the connection." Rex dismisses.

"Well, remember, it's 2010. In these days, you need a connection in order to make a call." Dr. Ancient advises his son.

"What was that?… Dad?…" Rex looked at his phone, wondering why he couldn't hear his father anymore. "Oh, we lost connection." he nonchalantly dismisses. "Well, better get to the D-Lab. Come on, Ace let's go- in the opposite direction away from the D-Lab because you spotted a cat and are currently chasing it." Rex finishes in a disappointed manner.

Sure enough, Ace was seen chasing a cat down the street, heading the opposite direction of where they needed to go.

"Maybe I should've called you a pain in my dino-butt instead." Rex says in an unamused tone with lidded eyes.

"So where's the dinosaur at, Reese?" Zoe asks her older sister, she and Max having arrived at the D-Lab just now.

"Costa Rica. Computer says it's a Wind element." Reese answers as a beeping dot was located at Costa Rica on the super computer.

"Wind element." Max repeats in awe.

"That means it's a carnivore. Good thing I'm not going." Ed gleefully says, taking a sip from his soda as he sits in the wheelchair.

"Speaking of which, how's your leg, Ed?" Zoe asks the chubby man whom sat in the wheelchair.

"Not too bad, actually. The doctor said I should be able to get off by tomorrow and start using crutches instead. It'll still be a while until I actually go out onto the field though." Ed replies in a confident and optimistic manner, given his general good mood.

"All he's been doing lately is being cooped up in his room playing that dating simulator game of his day in, day out." Ursula mumbles in utter annoyance, clearly peeved at Ed's new hobby.

"Nonstop, pixelated dating 24/7 and still he hasn't even hit first base." Zander teasingly says with a smug grin, causing Ed to flush in anger.

"Okay, Ed, I'm terrible when it comes with girls,"

"Obviously." Zoe cut Max off mid sentence.

"and even I think that's pathetic." Max finished.

"Aw man." Ed replies in a sad, disheartened tone. "I haven't felt this bad since my 12th birthday party."

"Okay, is anyone gonna fill us in on that? What happened at his 12th birthday party?" Zoe asks, clearly agitated that she was left out of this information.

"This feels like a Family Guy moment." Max says to himself in a slightly startled tone.

"Trust us, brat, you do NOT want to know about Ed's 12th birthday party." Ursula warns the pinkette.

"Yeah, it happened over 10 years ago and Dr. Z STILL has nightmares about donkeys in tutus wearing clown makeup." Zander reveals nonchalantly.

This ultimately stunned Zoe and Max, leaving the two speechless and dumbfounded… VERY dumbfounded. "I- S- Um- Uh- I jus-… Wha- Huh?" Told ya she was dumbfounded.

Right at that moment, the automatic doors opened as Rex and his prehistoric partner, Ace, quickly ran inside after having just arrived at the D-Lab. "Hey, guys! We're here! Sorry, I'm late. Ace fought with a cat along the way here." Rex says, out of breath from running.

"I bet Ace will be telling all about his victory to Chomp and the others." Max says in a teasing manner.

Rex however had a more surprised look on his face. "Riiiiiiight. Victory… Yyyyeeaaah." Rex cautiously says, going with the flow.

Down below, the chibi dinosaur partners turned to Ace, whom shyly looked away, clearly embarrassed by the fact that he lost to a cat. "Well, Rex, are you ready to go?" Zoe asks her friend as she held up her Dino Shot like a gun.

"Hold on, Zoe. I haven't finished debriefing the team." Reese interrupts her younger sister, using her hand as a stop sign. "Regarding the Dino Shots, Max, I think you should be happy to know that I have finally finished building the fourth Dino Shot."

"Yes! Finally! I have my own- Waaaaaaaaaaaaait a moment. Fourth Dino Shot? You mean someone else got a Dino Shot before me?!" Max exclaims in a flabbergasted manner.

"I like how his first reaction was not WHO got one before him, but the fact that someone else got one before him in general." Rex announces with a snicker.

"Only Max." Zoe responds in a disappointed tone.

Max slammed his hands on the table in utter annoyance and anger. "Who got one before me?!" Max yells in a panicked tone.

Reese said nothing as she continued to give her signature, emotionless and stoic expression as her eyes pierced not only Max's soul but her own glasses as well, proving her stare cannot be contained by anything made by man. At that moment, the tip of a Dino Shot was shown peeking under the desk as Reese slowly raised her own invention, revealing that she had made one for herself. She then pointed it towards Max and without hesitating, she flicked the Dino Shot as if she was handling the recoil of a handgun.

"Bang. Bang. You are dead." Reese says in her usual monotone manner.

"She practiced in the mirror all morning just for that." Zoe reveals with a smug grin.

While Max chuckled sheepishly, knowing full well not to make Reese any more angry, Reese on the other hand had a more embarrassed expression caked on her face, her flushed cheeks being the icing. "Regardless, I must confess that this Dino Shot does not belong to me but to your father, Max. Of course, I said no because he doesn't have the stone but then he just told me that if he had something similar, it would at least make him feel better… I think. I don't know. He had just hit his head on something at the time to be honest so maybe he was just talking nonsense."

"Sounds like Dr. Z." the Alpha Trio say at the same time.

Elsewhere, Dr. Z could be seen working on another contraption of his, having a welder mask on as he welded several pieces of metal together. All of a sudden, he had sneezed, causing mucus to fly all around the welder's mask, eventually coating the glass panel, ultimately blinding him.

"Ugh… Oh! Oh God! Oh God, that's so gross! Oh God, I think I'm gonna hurl!" Dr. Z says underneath his welder's mask.

Gagging sounds were heard afterwards.

"So if there's a fourth Dino Shot, that means there's a third Dino Shot, right?" Max asks, excitement in his voice.

"Yes. No surprise." Reese replies before handing Max his own Dino Shot. "You may want to check if that's the real thing and not a replica. Spiny and Terry were playing and mixed the two up so that may be the one for your dad."

"But can't you tell from the weight of it? If one of them doesn't have a stone, it'll be lighter than the other, right?" Zoe asks her older sister.

"Correct, but Dr. Taylor wanted the replica to be so authentic, he wanted to feel like there was a stone inside." her older sister answers.

"So what did you put inside?" Rex asks, curious as to how she solved the small problem.

"A stone." Reese blankly says.

A moment of silence passed through the area upon hearing the simple answer. "You know, I should've expected that answer." Rex says aloud.

"I can't believe it." Max says in awe as he stared at the Dino Shot with stars in his eyes. "My very own Dino Shot… YyyyyyESSS!" In his excitement, Max rapidly raised the Dino Shot in the air, accidentally striking Ed as he fell backwards off his wheelchair and onto the floor. "Oh, sorry, Ed." Max apologizes in a sincere tone.

"It's okay. I'm used to it." Ed replies in a hurt, yet optimistic tone.

"So what're we waiting for?! Let's go to Puerto Rico!" Max loudly exclaims, clearly excited to go on another trip.

"Costa Rica." Rex corrects in an emotionless tone.

"There's a difference?" Max asks, genuinely confused by this anomaly.

In response, Rex sighed as he hung his head down low in disappointment while Zoe facepalmed herself, clearly frustrated at Max's low level of intelligence. Afterwards, the D-Team all grabbed their dinos and their Dino Shots and walked on the teleporter, something Max has missed in a while since he hasn't had a chance to go out in the field in a while now.

"Beam us away, Reese! Let's go catch that dinosaur!" Max excitingly exclaims, impatience in his system. With that said, Reese typed in the coordinates into the computer as the teleporter activated; rainbow light shined onto the D-Team as they were in the process of being teleported away. "Ouch." Max's voice could be heard before he and his friends were fully teleported out of the lab.

"You know, I just realized something." Zander says aloud all of a sudden.

"That your brain is the size of a cashew?" Ursula sarcastically asks with an annoyed glance.

"Hmmm. Walnuts." Ed says in a dreamy tone.

"Alright, Homer Simpson, calm down." Ursula glanced down to her adoptive younger brother, shooting him a glare.

"This is the first time those brats are going to be on their own without our help… Weird." Zander continues on with his initial thought.

"That's weird? More like a change of pace." Ursula quips back. Right at that moment, Ursula's Alpha Scanner began beeping, indicating that she was being called. "Hell-"

"URSULA! WHERE ARE YOU AND ZANDER?! I NEED YOU BACK HERE IMMEDIATELY!" Dr. Z shouted over the Alpha Scanner.

"It's Dr. Z. Should I pick it up?" Ursula asks her comrades, placing her hand over the screen.

"You know what'll happen if we don't." Zander replies back.

"Four weeks of uncontrollable pain with Drill Sergeant Dr. Z." the trio mumbled simultaneously, imagining a crudely drawn Dr. Z wearing an army uniform and a helmet yelling at the trio with a whip.

"You better answer it, Ursula. He sounds mad." Ed warns the greenette.

"Yeah, well he always sounds mad. In both senses." Ursula retorts back.

"Hello?! What's going on over there?!" Dr. Z asks after being rudely ghosted for a while.

"Heyyyyyyy, Dr. Z, we were just-"

"About to head back here so you guys can test one of my new inventions!" Dr. Z finished Urusla's statement, taking it a complete 180.

"But Dr. Z, do we have to? I mean, we've got to take care of Ed and-"

"Ed can stay in whatever pit he's fallen into now!" Dr. Z interjects the greenette.

"It was one time!" Ed could be heard in the background.

"You and Zander are enough helping hands so get your lazy butts over here before I can say pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis!" Dr. Z's voice booms through the device.

"Gesundheit?" Zander replies in a cautious tone.

"GET OVER HERE NOW! See you later!" Dr. Z says in a cheery tone right after shouting at the trio.

With that said, Dr. Z ended the call, leaving a displeased Ursula and Zander while Ed continued to drink his soda. "Boy," Ed says. "you guys sure are in the doghouse now."

"Shove it, Ed." Ursula grumbles in response, shooting her adoptive brother a glare as she places her Alpha Scanner into her coat. "Well, Zander. Let's go. Ed here has special privileges."

"If I would've known that getting almost eaten was all it took to get out of this job, I would've gladly sacrificed myself to the Cory-optometrist-saurus back in China two years ago." Zander commented.

"That's not even remotely close to the name, Zander." Reese tells the tall man.

"Well can you blame me? It's hard to pronounce plus I was almost eaten by one." Zander replies, turning his head to the blonde.

"We all were, Zander. Don't forget about us. Let's go. The sooner we get back to Dr. Z's lab, the softer he'll hit us." Ursula grumbles as she and Zander walked out of the room.

"What about Ed?" Reese asks the duo.

"Let him play games on your phone. I don't know. He gets distracted easily." Ursula crudely explains as she and Zander head towards the automatic doors; the two walked out as the doors opened and closed in less than five seconds, only for them to open up again. "Oh, and one more thing." Ursula adds as she pokes her head back inside the lab. "Keep an eye out on your snacks. He has a tendency to steal from people."

With that said, Ursula fully exited the lab, leaving only Reese and Ed behind; upon hearing Ursula's warning, Reese turned to her right to where her bag of chips were. To her, not so shocking surprise, the bag of chips wasn't there, prompting her to turn to the opposite side where she saw Ed eating from her own bag of chips.

"Sorry. I got hungry." Ed apologizes with a full mouth.

The only thing Reese could do in response was puff up her cheeks and pout slightly, annoyed that her snack was eaten by a fat man.

Meanwhile, the D-Team had just arrived in Costa Rica. Oh, I'm sorry. 10 feet above the ground of Costa Rista. While Rex and Zoe had swiftly landed on their feet, Max was not even closely prepared to be above the ground at all and fell to the ground.

"Ow!" Max yells out in pain.

"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. The teleporter has been on the fritz lately. For some reason, we end up 10 feet above the ground every time we use it." Rex tells Max in an emotionless and stoic tone.

"Have you tried turning it off and on again?" Max sarcastically groans on the ground. Afterwards, he quickly picked himself up and dusted off the dirt that was on his clothes before looking ahead of him.

"So… this is Costa Rica, huh?" he asks. In front of him was revealed to be nothing but the open sea of the Pacific Ocean. "Yeah, it's just water." Rex and Zoe however were turned the other way around as the pinkette tapped Max's shoulder, prompting him to turn around in their direction. "Huh?… Oh…" Now that Max was facing the correct direction, which was facing a few trees and a city behind it, he continued with what he was saying. "So this is-"

"We heard you the first time, Max." Zoe immediately interrupts.

"Oh. Okay. Sorry." Max apologizes in an emotionless tone.

"So," Rex began. "any ideers where we should start looking for this dinosaur?"

"Maybe we should split up like we did in-" *record scratching sound* "Did you just say… 'ideers'?" Zoe asks her blonde friend in a surprised tone.

"Oh. Sorry. I picked up an accent while I was in Europe for a year." Rex reveals.

The duo were left speechless but not dumbfounded as they simply gave a blank stare at Rex for what seemed for a long period of time before Max broke the silence. "Why were you in Europe?" he asks in a slightly offended tone. Deep down, Max had lost a little respect for Rex for traveling to Europe of all places.

Before the blonde could answer, their chibi dinos suddenly jumped from their arms and into the trees ahead of them. "Paris! Get back here!" Zoe called out for her partner.

"You too, Ace!"

"That goes for you too, Chomp!"

The three D-Team members all quickly ran after their respective dino partners, crossing the trees before disappearing behind them. Eventually arriving on the other side, the trio found their dinos at the sidewalk, patiently waiting for the cars to stop so they could cross the road.

"At least they know the rules." Max quips as the three pick up their respective dinosaur partners from the ground.

After picking them up and standing back up, they finally took a look at the location they were in, which was nothing but a fairly small town with dirt roads and outdoor restaurants and cafes. "Wait. This is Costa Rica?" Max asks with audible bewilderment. The trio scanned their surroundings, finding many locals shopping for seafood or eating at outdoor cafes. "I thought Costa Rica was like the Bahamas where it's all nice and fancy."

"It is. It's just… we're on… the opposite side of the country… I think." Rex replies in an uncertain tone.

Right at that moment, a local walked passed the trio, not even giving them a glance until Zoe tapped her arm to get his attention. "Uh, excuse me!" she calls out, successfully grabbing the woman's attention. "Where are we?"

"¿Qué? Me no hablo Inglés. (What? I don't speak English.)" the woman replies in her native language.

The trio were silent upon hearing the woman speak a different language, forgetting they were in a foreign country for a moment. "Bless you?" Max asks in an uncertain tone while raising an eyebrow, not sure how to properly respond.

"¿Estornudar? (Sneeze?)" the woman asks once more, not understanding English.

"Nude?! What?!" Max exclaims in a shocked tone.

"Gracias. Um, adios." Zoe tells the woman, not wanting to embarrass herself even more.

The woman shot the trio one more odd look before shaking her head dismissively. "Realmente odio a los niños tontos. (I really hate dumb kids.)" the woman mumbled before leaving the dumbfounded trio.

"I think that woman wanted to see me nude." Max says in a scared tone.

"I think you're an idiot." Zoe counters with a smug smile.

Max was about to retort when Rex beat him to it. "Seconded." he agreed with his pink haired friend.

Chomp even "barked" in agreement, which was the final nail in the coffin. "Screw you, guys!" Max exclaims in a betrayed voice, earning a few giggles from his friends. "Come on. Let's go find this dinosaur. The faster we find it, the faster I can get out of here. I don't want people to keep asking me to see me nude." With that said, Max began walking away to start their search.

"Trust me, Max. I don't think anyone wants to see you nude. Right, Rex?" Zoe asks her blonde friend.

"I didn't see him nude." Rex rapidly answers without a second of hesitation, nervousness in his tone.

Zoe shot him a quick odd look before continuing out. "I didn't say you saw him nude." she explains.

"I know." Rex instantly said afterwards, once again without hesitation.

Zoe looked away, the odd and confused look still on her face, before shaking the expression away so she and Rex could catch up to their arrogant friend. Meanwhile, Max was approaching a street vendor on the side of the street selling various foods such as chimichangas, tacos, burritos, and various other street foods. As he was approaching the vendor, Max quickly got out his cellphone and opened up Google before typing up something in the search bar.

"Excuse me." he says to the vendor, earning the man's attention. "Let's hope this works."

With that, Max pressed a button on the phone before an automatic, female voice spoke on the phone, saying:

~¿Has oído algo sobre un dinosaurio por aquí recientemente?~ (Have you heard anything about a dinosaur around here recently?)

The man simply stared at Max with an unamused expression, earning a few sweat drops spilling from his forehead. "Uuuuuh… Ho- Hold on. Un momento. Let me try something else." he says to the vendor before typing up something else into the translator.

~¿Has visto criaturas extrañas hoy?~ (Have you seen strange creatures today?)

Again, the man just stared down at the boy with the same unamused expression on his face, making Max even more nervous. Once again, he typed something into the translator before it spoke once more.

~¿Es este el idioma equivocado?~ (Is this the wrong language?)

"Buddy, what the hell are you doing?" the man asks in a New Jersey accent.

"Oh, you speak Undetermined Language due to Sub/Dub differences." Max exclaims in a flabbergasted tone.

"Yeah. I do." the man says in an impatient tone.

"Sorry. I was just… expecting you to speak Portuguese." Max explains as Rex and Zoe caught up with him.

"Okay, A: This isn't Portugal, it's Costa Ric- You are SO- The fact that you thought this was Portugal amazes and baffles me at the same time. First off, Portugal is next to Spain and the Atlantic Ocean. Second off, Costa Rica is on the other side of North America facing the Pacific Ocean with thousands of miles of land and water in between here and Portugal. I have no idea how you managed to be so wrong in this matter but the fact that you did is just beyond my understanding. I am pretty sure I'm going to be up all night just thinking of this. B: If you thought I spoke Portuguese… why did you have the translator set to Spanish?" the man asks after his rant.

"That wasn't Portuguese?" Max asks in a genuine confused tone.

Once again, Zoe face palmed herself in light of Max's stupidity. "You sound so American. Who are you and what're you doing in Costa Rica?" Rex asks with a confused expression.

Right when the man was about to answer, Ace had suddenly grabbed some carne asada from the vendor's station and began eating it right then and there. "Hey! Get your lizard to- Ah, forget. It's not worth it." the man immediately gives up.

"Ace! Let that go!" Rex snaps at Ace as he picks the dino up, having a small tug of war with the piece of meat. "I am so sorry, sir. Ace is well trained. I swear."

"I think it's hard training a… What is that? Some sort of… iguana?" the man asks, giving an odd look at Ace.

Rex stayed silent for a second as Ace continued to chew on the piece of meat, getting caught up with the sudden question. "Yes." he simply replied with a blank look.

The man gave Rex an odd look before glancing at the other two, where Zoe was trying to get Paris to stop eating a large leaf from a plant next to the vendor station. "Paris! Let go of that! You don't know if that'll make you sick or not!" she quietly scolds, earning a few protesting sounds from her partner.

Meanwhile, Max was busy trying to figure out how to work the translation app on his phone. "No. No. I don't want German. I want Spanish- I mean Portugal- I mean- CRAP!" Max shouts in frustration.

~Papa, anata no rabukurīmu de watashi o mitashite kudasai.~ (Daddy, fill me with your love cream.)

"NO!" Max shouts at the device for the mistranslation.

"Why couldn't the agent send me to the Bahamas?" the man asks in a tired tone, clearly having enough with what stuff he was dealing with.

"You didn't answer my question, si-"

"My name's Don and I made a deal." the man now known as Don interjects Rex rudely.

"What?" Rex asks in confusion as Ace swallowed the rest of the carne asada.

"I made a deal with the FBI. I gave up my boss's name and they smuggled me out of the country." Don explains nonchalantly.

"Where are you from?" Zoe asks, picking up Paris as she tries to reach the large piece of grass.

~Senpai. Watashi no karada to puraibēto ni kisushitehoshī.~ (Senpai. I want you to kiss my body and privates.)

"Stop it!" Max shouts in utter frustration.

"New Jersey." Don answers the pinkette.

"And you chose Costa Rica as the place you wanted to be smuggled to?" Rex asks in a confused manner.

"No, I chose Catalina Island. The FBI chose Monaco. Somewhere in between, somebody messed up and I ended up here in a place where I did not speak the language. Had to learn the hard way, was homeless for a couple months, managed to get a hold of the language and managed to get myself a job as a street vendor… for eight years." Don replies in a tired tone.

"Why were you with the FBI in the first place?" Rex asks in curiosity.

~Senpai, watashi no naka ni anatagahoshīdesu.~ (I want you inside me, senpai.)

"I DON'T SPEAK HENTAI!" Max shouts at his phone in absolute, fuming anger.

"Trust me kid. You don't want to know what I was doing before I made the deal with the FBI." Don tells Rex in a warned tone. "It's a good thing I'm selfish, otherwise I would've died in prison. Hell, this place is even more dangerous than where I came from! San Jose is probably one of the nicest looking cities in the world yet I get stuck in the boonies filled with criminals and cartel members! It's gotten so bad, I had to carry my own piece with me!"

"Piece- Piece of what? Pizza?" Zoe asks, not understanding the man's slang.

"My gun." Don immediately replies, pulling out a handgun.

"Oh!" Zoe exclaimed in shock.

"Holy crap!" Rex shouts.

"Woah." Max says in awe, not expecting the man to pull out a firearm.

~Quella cosa è così grande.~ (That thing is so big.)

"WHY ARE YOU SPEAKING ITALIANESE!" Max shouts back at his phone before throwing it on the ground, having enough of it's malfunction.

"Why- Why do you have a gun?!" Zoe asks the man, scared of the weapon.

"I told you! This place is so dangerous!" Don shouts. "Cartel members running left and right. Apparently there's someone called The Fist calling the shots for the cartel… At least, that's what Raul told me… Course, Raul is a known coke addict so I should probably take whatever he says with a grain of salt… Speaking of which, I need to buy salt. I'm running low for this station." Don suddenly looked below, as if he was searching something under the station. "Where's my salsa?!'

"Hold on. Let me just ask this question because I'm pretty sure you didn't understand a thing my translator was saying." Max tells the man, finally getting to the important question. "Have you seen a dinosaur recently?"

"What?" Don asks in a baffled tone.

"I know it sounds ridiculous, asking if you saw a dinosaur, but I'm serious." Max tells Don.

Don was silent for a few seconds before saying, "You wanna hear a secret?" he asks, gesturing to the kids to get closer to him, which they did. "I think I'm crazy."

Not knowing how to take this new piece of information correctly, the three teens slowly backed up from the man and glanced at each other. "Okay, so we officially wasted five minutes of our time." Max tells the three.

"No. No. No. I meant that I thought I was crazy because I actually SAW a dinosaur!" Don explains.

"Wait?! Really?!" Max exclaims in shock.

"What kind was it?!" Zoe asks in an impatient tone.

"I don't know. What was the dinosaur that killed the fat guy in Jurassic Park?" Don asks.

"Dilophosaurus!" Max shouts.

"A Dilophosaurus!" Zoe shouts as well.

"Never seen that movie." Rex reveals. In response, his other two friends slowly turned their heads to his direction, giving him an odd look mixed with disappointment. "What?"

"Is that the dinosaur that had the rattlesnake hissing sound and the frills that shot up like one of those birds." Don continues his description.

"You mean a peacock?" Zoe asks.

Max stifled a laugh after she said that. "You said 'pea'." Max chuckled to himself.

"Hold on." Rex says all of a sudden. "There aren't any records that show that Dilophosaurus had those frills and spat venom and hissed like a snake. Are you sure it was a real dinosaur and not… I don't know… an animatronic?"

"Sure as shit, kid." the man replies in confidence.

"Okay, never heard that one before. Where did you say you saw the dinosaur, and when?" Rex finishes his question.

"I don't know. What time is it?"

"It iiiiiiis…" Rex took out his phone and took a quick glance at the time, only to realize the flaw in his plan. "4:00 from where we're from. Nice. Do you guys know how to convert time?"

"I don't know how to convert math. You expect me to convert time, Rex?" Max asks his best friend.

"Right. Asking you was a mistake. Zoe-"

"Nope."

"Okay then."

"I'll save you the trouble." Don suddenly pulled out an old phone from his pocket. "1 P.M.. So that means I saw that thing… roughly… 2 hours ago. Of course, there are rumors they saw the thing late last night so who knows. It was storming last night so maybe they saw a falling tree or something. I don't know. Half of this boonie town of San Jose is on some sort of drug. Everyone appears to have beef with each other." The man suddenly glanced to the side where he spotted someone he knew. "I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING, PABLO! YOU'LL NEVER STEAL MY MARIA FROM ME!"

The trio turned to see a man in white buttoned shirt with beige shorts and sandals with neatly combed black hair. "¡María es mi amor, perra! Eres indigno de su corazón, cabrón! (Maria is my love, bitch! You are unworthy of her heart, you scumbag!)" the man named Pablo shouts back from across the street.

"Stick it up your ass, taco!" Don shouted back in rage.

"¡Cerdo americano! (American pig!)" Pablo shouts back.

"Screw you!" Don shouted.

"Screw you!" Pablo retorted back.

"Baaaaaah" Don turned back to the kids. "I don't know what I saw but I know what I heard. I heard roaring coming from that thing earlier. Chasing some sort of chicken or something, I don't know. It could've been a rooster."

"You sure we should be taking the word from this guy? He looks like he hasn't used his brain since he was born." Max whispers to his friends..

"Like you're one to talk." Zoe retorts back with an annoyed stare.

"Where did you see the dinosaur?" Rex asks the vendor.

"I saw the thing near the forest next to the beach. It might still be there. Maybe it's hunting grounds. Ask Pablo, he saw it too." Don suddenly turned to Pablo's direction. "HEY PABLO! THESE KIDS WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE DINOSAUR WE SAW EARLIER TODAY!"

"YOU MEAN THE SPITTY, VENOM THING?!" Pablo asks from across the street.

"YEAH, WITH THE FRILLS AND SHIT THAT WENT, 'HISS! HISS! HISS! HISS!'!"

"OH YEAH! I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT! I JUST SAW IT TEN MINUTES AGO!"

"Wait! What?!" Max shouts as he ran towards the Costa Rican. "Where did you see it?!"

"Behind the market a block from here. It was just creeping in the bushes like some sort of predator. Not the child kind but the animal kind. You know, tigers, lions, my ex-wife. You know." Pablo answers back.

"Can you point us towards the market?" Zoe asks the Costa Rican.

"Of course I can! Here in Costa Rica, we have a saying for tourists." Pablo replies.

"Yeah, we got one too. You're a fag! Haha!" Don shouted from across the street.

"Shit!" Pablo swore in frustration. "The market is behind that cafe. You can't miss it. Open market with a bunch of chickens bouncing in cages. I'm going to buy one and cook it up fresh for Maria tonight. YOU HEAR THAT, DON?! I'M MAKING MARIA A DELICIOUS DINNER! WHAT'RE YOU GOING TO DO FOR HER?!"

"I'M TAKING HER FOR A NICE WALK ALONG THE BEACH!" Don shouted back.

"Damn it. I should've thought of that." Pablo says to himself.

"Alright. Well… good luck with… whatever this is. Thanks again!" Zoe calls out to the two men as she and her friends ran down the road, leaving the two men to their squabble.

Pablo turned back to Don, whom in return gave back his gaze and stared back at him. "You want to get a drink later, amigo?" Pablo asks Don from across the street.

"Why the hell not? It's been a long day. My treat." Don responds in a happy manner.

"¡Gracias, amigo! We shall discuss about women while we smoke our Cuban Cohibas!" Pablo excitingly exclaims.

Don however shot Pablo an offended look. "Pablo, I have lung cancer." he tells the man.

Stunned by the sudden news, Pablo was caught off guard and with his pants down, not knowing the proper thing to say. "Sorry?" he asks in an uncertain tone.

True to Pablo's words, the market was just around the block, a liveful outside market filled with locals buying the various produce the market had to sell. There were even chickens in cages, steam flying into the air thanks to the street food being produced inside the market via grills. The D-Team began what they called window shopping, and on their shopping list was a dinosaur, which is very rare to come across by seeing how they're extinct and all.

"So if I was a Dilophosaurus, where would I hide?" Zoe asks out loud as she examines the area.

"Probably near the chickens. They are carnivores after all." Rex says aloud as he too began examining the market.

"Jeez, what do they feed these chickens? They're the size of people." Max says in a disturbed tone, looking directly at a chicken that caught his attention.

The chicken he was looking at was revealed to be Foghorn Leghorn, whom was amongst the many chickens up for lunch, with a very disturbed and traumatized expression on his face as he sat inside the large cage. "I say, I say fffffuck." Foghorn Leghorn swears in a scared tone.

As the trio were walking in the market, another stand had not only caught Max's eyes but his stomach as well. He gasped loudly as he bolted towards the stand of his dreams. "Fajitas! (fah-JYE-tahs) I've always wanted to try them! I heard they're SOOOOO good in a sourdough, soft taco. How much does it cost?!"

"Colóns. (i dont fucking know)" the stand owner replies in Spanish.

"Shit." Max swears in a monotone voice

Zoe suddenly leaned near Rex to whisper something in his ear. "The sad part is that's probably the closest he'll get to saying what the actual word is for female genitalia." Zoe whispers in Rex's ear in a teasing tone.

"Girls have genitals?" Rex asks in a geniune surprised manner.

Zoe slowly grew a look that was a mixture of confusion and shock as she slowly rotated her head towards her blonde friend, giving him a deadpan look as he returned her gaze with a blank expression. Down below, Ace and Chomp were busy sniffing the ground while Paris ventured off to find more leaves so she could eat. Seeing their friend venture off by herself, both the Carnotaurus and Triceratops pursued the Parasaurolophus to prevent her from getting lost.

"Chomp! Where are you going?! Stop running away again!" Max calls out as he follows after his partner.

"Uh oh. We better follow them. They might cause a scene." Zoe tells the blonde, annoyance in her tone.

"Sooo… do you girls also have… a thing down there?" Rex asks, still on the previous subject.

"Go watch porn, Rex. You'll understand it." Zoe replies agitated, before walking away leaving an utterly confused Rex behind.

"What's porn?" he asks no one in particular.

The two male chibi dinosaurs eventually caught up with their female companion, whom was munching on a leaf that belonged to a flower in a pot on the ground. Max and Zoe picked up their respective partners and were about to head out, until hushed voices from around the corner caught their ears.

"The card should've been here by now." says a voice in a thick Mexican accent.

Max stopped in his tracks when he heard the word 'card', prompting him to turn back around, causing Zoe to become curious. "Max. What're you doing?" she asks her friend whom ignored her.

Max snuck towards the corner of the wall, slowly peeking his head out to see the same man in white suit and fedora with him along with his other bodyguard. There was also a third man holding a large soda cup with Él Matacho and his other bodyguard, this one standing out amongst the trio. The way this man stood out was that he looked obviously younger compared to the two older men, looking to be around his early 20's and was wearing more of a 'gangster/drug dealer' look. His outfit consisted of a dark gray checkered, oversized flannel jacket with a light blue shirt underneath with a symbol of a melting tye-dye skull. Down below, he sported a pair of baggy black blue jeans with blue and white skater shoes; meanwhile, back up top, the man short, spiked up dark brown hair and sported glasses; to complete these features, he had a thin chinstrap beard with a pierced lip and ears.

"Where is José?" Él Matacho asks his other bodyguard.

"I don't know, señor. He should've been in this city by this morning." Diego, his other bodyguard, responds.

"First DBJ lost the gold then José lost the card we were going to give to The Fist as a plan de contingencia (contingency plan)." Él Matacho continues to vent.

"Hey, look," the third male spoke up, having a laid back and mellow voice in an American accent. "I don't want any trouble but am I gonna get the card now or what? Cuz I'm only here doing a favor for someone I know. You think I wanted to travel multiple borders all the way down here just so I can get a stupid card just so I can pass it off to a paleontologist?"

"Kid, do us a favor and shut the hell up." Diego tells the kid.

"I'm just sayin', man. I don't even want to be here." the young man continued to talk. "I had to be smuggled in a C-130. Ya know what that is, right? C-130? It's like an AC-130 except there aren't any screaming Russians yelling in yo ear that it's above you… also it has no weapons. Point is, I want to go back home and if your guy, Jose or whatever, continues to dick around and not bring the dinosaur card, Imma just straight up leave, bro. I'm not even kiddin'. I'm deadass serious, bro."

"Dinosaur card?" Max whispers out loud, causing Zoe to gasp.

"Who even wants that stupid card anyway?" the young man asks. "What's the point of having a dinosaur card? I'm pretty sure there are millions of others out there. You can probably buy one at Wal-Mart for like… I dunno, $6.99 or some shit like that."

"That's none of your business, cabrón." Él Matacho replies rudely.

"Hey, I'm not a donkey!"

"That's burro, idiota."

"Oh." The young man was silent for another moment before taking another sip from his drink, finally reaching the bottom of it. "Alright." he says as he carelessly throws the cup to the side. "I'm out of here. He's not coming, I've had enough of waiting around here. I'm going back to the airport so I can get my ass back inside that hidden compartment and get smuggled back to America. Have fun waiting around for this guy in this heat, I've had enough of this place. Oh, and amigo." The kid pointed towards Él Matacho. "You scare me… You terrify me. I hope I never run into you ever again. Ciao… Wait, that's Italianese. How do you say goodbye in Spanish again?"

"¡Vete a la mierda! (Get the fuck out!)" Él Matacho's voice boomed, scaring the kid enough for him to run out of the small alley. "Perra estupida. (Stupid bitch.)" he mumbled.

Max and Zoe continued to eavesdrop on the suspicious men while still retaining their firm yet comfortable grips onto their partners. Unbeknownst to the two of them, Rex was slowly approaching his two friends, his Carnotaurus partner waddling next to him.

"Hey, so I just talked to a merchant back there who said he saw the dinosaur by the highway… that or a pig stole his wallet. I don't speak Spanish." Rex informs the two. Ace meanwhile suddenly began walking ahead, unaware of the danger that lie waiting around the corner. "Ace, don't sniff the dirt. It's dirty." Rex tells his partner.

But Ace felt rebellious, probably due to the fact in dinosaur years, he was a teenager, but then again, who really knows? Anywho, Ace felt rebellious and continued to sniff the dirty dirt on the dirty ground until he walked passed the corner, startling Max as he tried to grab Ace back. Unfortunately, Max lost his balance and fell to the ground, but not before grabbing two things: the tip of Ace's tail and the attention of Él Matacho and Diego. The two cartel members simply stared at Max, whom was caught with his pants down figuratively, as all he could do was just back at the two men. Not a word was said as the two groups stared at each other, the only sounds were the sounds of the market around them as well as chickens clucking, but still not one word was said amongst the two groups. Eventually, Max was the one who spoke first and ended the long silence amongst the groups.

"Um-"

Rex suddenly slammed a coffee mug he had gotten out of nowhere onto Max's head, smashing it upon the impact of Max's skull. Immediately afterwards, he pulled out his DinoShot and aimed it like a gun, a fierce expression on his face.

"We've been spotted!" he shouts at his allies.

Zoe suddenly slammed her own coffee mug onto Max's body before she pulled out her own DinoShot and aimed it at the two men. In response, the two men in suits suddenly pulled out their own coffee mugs and threw it violently at Max's body before pulling out their own pistols from their waistbands, aiming them sideways afterwards. In Él Matacho's case, he had pulled out two guns, both of which were revolvers.

"Hey- God! No! They turned it sideways! Killshot! That's a killshot!" Rex shouts as he drops his DinoShot to the ground, raising his hands in the air.

Zoe turned to her friend to figure out what he was doing before turning back to the two men, now realizing they had real firearms out. Upon realization, Zoe yelped as she dropped her DinoShot and raised her hands in the air as a form of surrender, while Max continued to just lie on the ground.

"Who the hell are you?!" Él Matacho demands the group.

"Better question: Why are you aiming guns at kids?" Rex asks, genuinely confused about the situation.

"He has a point, boss." Diego tells the older man. In response, Él Matacho aimed his second gun at Diego, without even taking his eyes off of the D-Team. "Lo siento, señor. (I'm sorry, sir.)"

"What's a bunch of niños (kids) doing all the way down here? This here is a dangerous area. You could get hurt." Él Matacho warns the kids.

"Trust me. I got buried alive inside the Great Wall of China. I think I can survive taking the wrong turn in the wrong neighborhood." Zoe tells the two men in a strangely calm manner.

The two men were utterly stunned upon hearing the words that came out of the pinkette's mouth. "I'm- I'm sorry. What?" Diego asks as he slightly shook his head in confusion, perplexed on the meaning behind her statement.

"Just lower the guns, please. We're not a threat!" Max pleaded as he lied on the ground.

"Yeah, we're just kids! Kind of." Rex says afterwards.

Before anyone could do anything, loud screeching and hissing were heard from above, scaring the group at the moment as they all simultaneously looked up. There, on top of one of the small buildings, stood none other than the prehistoric creature itself, the Dilophosaurus, screeching into the air.

"¡Ay, dios mío! ¿Qué demonios es esa cosa?! (Oh my God! What the hell is that thing?!)" Diego shouted in absolute terror.

Without hesitating, Diego began firing his pistol at the Dilophosaurus since it's, ya know, natural human reaction to result to violence when faced with the unknown. Unfortunately for him, he was an absolute terrible shot as none of the bullets struck their targets. This angered the Dilophosaurus, who punished Diego severely by letting loose its frills as they rattled along the sound of the dinosaur's roaring. The theropod roared some more before slinging out poisonous, sticky spit that landed right onto Diego's eyes, momentarily blinding him. The feeling from the poisonous spit burned Diego's skin upon impact, causing him to scream in utter pain as he dropped his gun to try and get the gunk off of his face.

"I KNEW IT!" Max shouts triumphantly, pointing his finger at the dinosaur like a small child.

Nobody seemed to care at the moment as the Dilophosaurus pounced from on top of the building and right on top of Diego. Upon landing on him, the carnivorous theropod didn't waste a second to start it's next meal as it latched it's entire jaw right onto Diego's head. Diego screamed in utter horror as the Dilophosaurus' many razor sharp teeth pierced his head; some of the bottom teeth had pierced Diego's chin, resulting in it's teeth now inside Diego's jaw. Gurgled screams were heard as Diego collapsed to the ground, with the Dilophosaurus feasting right on his face, not already forgetting the group behind it.

"¡Mierda santa! ¡Es un chupacabras! (Holy shit! It's a chupacabra!)" Él Matacho shouts in terror. (so it's Holy Claus then?)

"No, you dingus. It's chupacaBRA. Singular form. Jeez man. Have you ever read a book before?" Max asks, taunting the older gentlemen. Said older gentlemen responded by aiming one of his pistols at Max without glancing at his direction. "I'd like to apologize." Max says calmly in a nonchalant manner.

"Somebody do something!… Oh wait. We're somebody." Rex says, grabbing his DinoShot.

"DINO SLASH! CARNOTAURUS, BLOW THEM AWAY!"

As Ace landed on the ground, now in his full form, Él Matacho backed up in fear, not expecting another dinosaur to appear out of nowhere. "¡Qué susto! (What a scare!) Another chupacabra!" Él Matacho shouts out loud.

"See, NOW you can use the plural form you idiot." Max tells the man. Once again, Él Matacho responded by blindly aiming his gun directly at Max without looking. "I'd like to retract my previous statement." Max calmly says.

Ace roared at the Dilophosaurus, whom roared back while extending out it's frills, getting ready to spit it's poisonous spit at the Carnotaur. Sure enough, the theropod spat it's poisonous spit right into Ace's eyes, temporarily blinding the poor dinosaur. "Oh no! Ace!" Rex cries out.

"That's gotta sting." Max says in a sympathetic tone, cringing at Ace's recent injury.

"And a good way to spread germs too." Zoe adds on.

In response, Max shot Zoe a glare. "THAT'S what you're concerned about?!" he asks in disbelief.

The Dilophosaurus roared at it's enemy before pouncing forward, biting down onto Ace's neck as the Carnotaurus began to run around blindly due to the spit on his face. Blinded by fear and by actual poisonous spit, Ace began blindly running around, almost stepping on his own friends and master. The D-Team all jumped out of the way on time as the Carnotaurus continued to run blindly in a panic; this time, he was heading for Él Matacho, whom screamed in fear of getting stomped on. It almost began a reality when Él Matacho tripped and fell on his back right as Ace was backing up, only for the Carnotaurus to step on both of his guns accidentally.

"Noooooooo! Those guns were my favorite!" Él Matacho shouts in horror.

Ace roared in fear as he slammed right into a building, completely obliterating it as well as crushing any people inside, and by crushing, I mean critically injuring.

"Oooooooooooo!" Zoe cringed upon witnessing such an event.

"I hope nobody was hurt." Rex says in a sympathetic tone.

"That house sucked anyway." Max shrugs off nonchalantly.

The Dilophosaurus continued to kick, claw, bite, scratch, any sort of attack onto the poor Carnotaurus as all Ace could do was just endure the punishment due to his impaired sight. Eventually, the Dilophosaurus rammed it's head right into the side of Ace's neck, sending him flying out of the destroyed building and into the small street to the side. Everyone screamed and began running as soon as Ace and the Dilophosaurus came into existence, with a guy narrowly escaping Ace's jaws as he fell to the ground.

"Rex! Do something!" Zoe cries out for her friend.

Meanwhile, Él Matacho stood back in the alley at a safe distance, observing as both dinosaurs brawled in the middle of the street. However, the older gentleman was more focused on the Dilophosaurus rather than the Carnotaurus, it's sudden appearance initiating a memory within his head. Whatever happened, Él Matacho recognized the dinosaur internally as he quietly brought out his phone and began dialing someone.

"DBJ… I think I just solved our problems." Él Matacho says over the phone.

The Dilophosaurus roared at it's opponent as Ace charged right towards it, only for it to jump out of the way at the last second. "That thing is fast!" Max announces in astonishment.

Rex suddenly pressed a button on his DinoShot before pulling out a move card. "Well let's see if it's faster than Ninja Attack!" Rex cries out as he slashes the move card.

Ace roared into the air as he glowed white before charging towards the Dilophosaurus, slowly duplicating until there were at least six Aces out in the battlefield, all of him vehemently charged at the theropod. However, what the D-Team wasn't expecting was for the Dilophosaurus to have a counter attack on it's own, evident when it slammed it's foot on the ground before roaring into the air, illuminating the battlefield with it's white glow. The Dilophosaurus suddenly began charging at full and high speeds towards Ace before it began to glow pink; the two carnivores continued to charge towards each other until they met in the middle, where they both leapt out of the way at the last second.

One of Ace's clones almost struck the Dilophosaurus only to graze it by it's tail before it suddenly disappeared, Ace's attack having ended. Unfortunately, evident that there was no Dilophosaurus, Ace deduced that he had indeed missed his target. More unfortunately for him is that the Dilophosaurus suddenly struck him out of nowhere before repeatedly and rapidly striking the Carnotaurus some more, trapping it in a tight spot. Ace cried out in pain as the Dilophosaurus came back into existence, taking a look at the damage it did as it watched Ace collapse to the ground, turning back into a card afterwards, defeated.

"Ace!" Rex calls out before running towards his partner's card.

"He lost." Max says in disbelief.

"Poor Rex." Zoe sympathizes.

Before Rex could reach Ace's card, the foot of the Dilophosaurus stopped him as it stepped right on top of said card. Rex slowly looked up to see the Dilophosaurus looking down on him, it's mouth slightly open, revealing it's razor sharp fangs. The Dilophosaurus chirped as Rex yelled in terror, jumping backwards as he fell on his butt as the Dilophosaurus pounced in front of him. Rex continued to back away as the Dilophosaurus began to roar and hiss as it's frills shot outward, rattling as the theropod screeched at it's prey. Like usual, the Dilophosaurus spat it's poisonous spit at it's prey, only for the spit to land right on Rex's shirt, much to the teenager's horror. He grabbed some of the sticky spit and lifted it, looking at it in horror before looking back at it's origin source. Before he could do anything, the Dilophosaurus screeched once more as it yet again spat out it's venom spit, this time successfully striking Rex's face.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Rex screamed in horror after being spat on.

Rex quickly got up and began to scramble away, blinded by the venom spit as the Dilophosaurus chirped in excitement, watching as it's prey scrambled in confusion. "Max! Get out Chomp!" Zoe tells her friend as she grabbed her DinoShot.

"Right!" Max obliged as he got out his own DinoShot. Before Max and Zoe could call their dino partners out, they were interrupted by a strange sound. "What's that sound?" Max asks in confusion.

His answer came in the form of many vehicles ranging from SUVs to sedans rolled up on the scene, surrounding the entire group. Rex continued to run like a headless chicken, or a blind one to be specific, as the Dilophosaurus continued to chase him. It's chase was suddenly interrupted when a black SUV drove right past it in front of it, nearly hitting it as the theropod screeched at the vehicle. One by one, each of the passengers of the vehicles got out from their respective vehicles, revealing them to NOT be the police but rather armed civilians, whom were all armed with Class 3 weapons. Rex was unfortunate when a car bumped in the side of him, causing him to fall onto the hood of the car and slide off, somehow still retaining the venom spit that was obstructing his vision.

Each and every one of the passengers pulled out their weapons and aimed them at the group, some pointing at the Dilophosaurus while some were pointing at the D-Team. "¡Ponte en el suelo!" one of the armed men shouted as they aimed their AKM at the kids.

"¡Puta madre" another criminal shouts.

Because it was surrounded by creatures it had never seen before in a place it has never been before, and the fact they don't speak human language, the Dilophosaurus roared at the armed men.

"¡Besad el suelo, cabrones! Get down on the ground! Get down now!" shouts another criminal as he aimed his weapon at Max's head.

All Max and Zoe could do was just raise their hands in the air as a form of surrender as Rex was shoved to the ground by one of the armed men before said man pinned Rex to the ground with his boot. Right at that moment, the back door of one of the SUVs opened up as a tactical boot stepped on the diit ground, the person inside slowly revealing themselves. Both Max and Zoe turned to the person only to leave their mouths gaping wide open in shock.

"No way." Max says in disbelief.

A double barrel shotgun was shown to be flicked open as two bullets entered the casing chambers before being flicked upwards where it was locked into place as the gun's owner stood tall and proud in the middle of the street. "G'day, mates." THE Double Barrel Jericho says in a grim tone.

"You." Zoe gasps in shock.

"Who?" Rex asks, not knowing what was going on due to still being blind.

"Jericho… We thought you-"

"No. A word to the not so wise: never assume anything."

With that, Jericho aimed his double barrel shotgun at the kids, whom all cried out in fear, except for Rex whom was still blinded. Thankfully at the last second, Jericho moved his aim somewhere else before pulling the trigger, both bullets from the shotgun penetrating the ground directly in front of the Dilophosaurus. Now anyone who ever got shot at would relatively be scared or mad but this Dilophosaurus was just furious when the strange bipedal creature breathed fire at it, thinking it as a challenge for dominance.

"Watch out! It's going to attack!" Max warns the older man.

"Hey, what's going on? Guys, someone talk to me." Rex calmly pleads on the ground as the armed man pressed his boot harder on his back.

The Dilophosaurus roared in anger as it charged towards Jericho, whom stood in the middle of the street with a stoic glare. The theropod continued to charge towards the man as it's frills got extended outward, the sounds of rattling and hissing was heard as the Dilophosaurus roared, preparing to use it's venom spit. Jericho continued to stand his ground like a stonewall, sneering menacingly at the charging dinosaur while still not moving a muscle or an attempt to move out of the way. All of a sudden, Jericho suddenly whipped out a gun-like object to which he began rapidly pulling the trigger, sending many darts out as they hit the charging dinosaur. Upon being struck by the darts, the Dilophosaurus crashed to the ground, quiet snores being heard afterward as it laid in the middle of the street knocked out.

"Woah." Max says in awe upon witnessing an event.

"That was really scary but really cool at the same time." Zoe says as well.

"What did he do? I didn't see anything." Rex says on the ground.

"Jericho." says a familiar Latino voice. "How in the hell did you get down here so fast? It's been a week since Montana."

"Yeah, I'd like to know that too." Zoe adds on.

"Nobody asked, niña." Él Matacho harshly says to the girl.

"Well! Excuse me for being curious." Zoe sarcastically says in a snide tone.

"Guys, I think the venom might be damaging my eyes a bit. Is it bad that the stinging stopped or have my nerves been destroyed by the venom or something?" Rex asks, getting slightly concerned with his situation.

"Don't ask questions that don't need answerin', mate." Jericho says to Él Matacho as he hands him the dart gun. "Get that to Wrench and tell him it needs patchwork. I swear, I hate testing his new weapons for him. Half the time they don't even bloody work. I accidentally shot a fox while I was aiming that damn rifle of his. Oh, I'm sorry: carbine rifle, since he's so picky on names, that bogan."

"Hey!" Max calls out, earning the men's attention. "What're you doing here?! Are you planning on hurting that dinosaur too like you tried to do with the Scolosaurus?!

"Max, he already shot it with tranquilizers. It's a bit too late to be threatening him right now." Zoe tells her friend in a deadman manner.

"For some reason, I can see a faded blue light. I don't know what that means but I'm getting kind of scared at this point." Rex continues to talk out loud on a subject literally nobody was listening to.

"I could care less what happens to that dinosaur." Jericho replies, adjusting his jacket a bit. "My main concern is moving, and you tikes are coming with us."

"What?!" Max and Zoe shouted at the same time.

"Can you just drop me off at the nearest hospital because I actually need to get this checked out." Rex chimes in.

"Why do we have to go with you?!" Max shouts in anger.

Jericho turned around and eyed Max before marching his way towards the young man restrained by the armed men where he got menacingly close to the teen. Although inside, Max was scared when Jericho continued to approach him but he kept on a strong face to still look tough. Jericho bent forward and got nose to nose with Max, whom could smell ash and smoke coming from his face.

"Because…" Without any other word, Jericho stood up and turned back around, walking towards Él Matacho, handing him the keys to one of the cars that drove up. "Take them and the beast to the warehouse. I'm heading to east San Jose to meet with the Big Man."

"The Big Man is here?" Él Matacho gasps in shock.

Jericho stopped in his tracks and with his back still turned to his colleague, he turned his head and looked behind him, barely making eye contact with the Latino. "He's always been here." Jericho says before walking away.

Él Matacho was left dumbstruck upon being given this new information while the D-Team stood there speechless, not having a clue on what was going on. Especially with Rex.

"Alright. Seriously, guys. What the heck is going on?" Rex asks in utter annoyance, with Max turning his head to him, giving him the first sign of attention throughout the situation.

While things were getting tense down in Southern America, Reese was busy house sitting Ed, whom was still recovering from his injuries a few weeks back in Canada. The chubby man could be seen sitting in his wheelchair eating a bag of gummy bears, watching Reese do her work on the lab's supercomputer. Even though Ed was not making a single sound, the fact that he was just silently staring at her made Reese annoyed and uncomfortable.

"Ed, if you are going to stare, please do it at the wall. Zander staring at me is already enough… plus only he can do it." Reese tells the fat man in her usual, calm and stoic voice.

"I'm sorry, I just feel useless is all." Ed replies in a sad tone.

"I would too if I were sitting in a wheelchair 24/7."

"I feel bad for Stephen Hawking. At least he went away peacefully."

"When does he die exactly?"

"I don't know. I forgot."

"Oh."

…

…

…

(yeah, i'm not fucken doing the same joke twice.)

"Is there anything you want me to do while I'm here? I can take out the trash or… or feed the fish or… or… um… hold on, let me think." Ed says politely as he began to come up with his next suggestions.

"All my work consists of sophisticated equipment that revolves around computers and hardware and, please do take this without offense Ed but… you don't strike me as the sharpest tool in the shed type." Reese cautiously says to the fat man.

One would think Ed would get sad when called dumb, but completley out of character of him, Ed pretty much shrugged it off and got in front of the computer where Reese was working at. "I don't know anything about sheds but what I do know is that your coding is all wrong." Ed says, chewing on a gummy bear.

"What?" Reese gasps as she snapped to the screen. "Oh my gosh. You're right. How did I mess that up?" she scolds herself as she begins to fix the code.

"Don't use that code, Reese. Use this one. It'll help fix up the most common glitches in these types of systems." Ed says as he began to type away on the com- i dont know how coding works, ok, so sorry if this isnt realistic ya assho-

"Ed?... You know coding?" Reese asks as she watched the fat man type in the codes into her computer.

"Well when people don't spend a lot of time with you and make fun of you all the time, you don't really want to go outside all that much. So I used to stay in all the time and work with computers, figuring out how they work and how the internet works. I even created my own website for a while before some big company bought it and stole my credit." Ed depressingly says, looking down in somber afterwards.

"How long is this recurring theme going to last?" Reese asks Ed, already sick of this running gag.

"Is this your To-Do list?" Ed asks, picking up a notepad on the table.

"Yes, and as you can see, it's quite a list. I have a lot of things to do today so I must have full concentration." Reese says to the chubby man as she goes back to her work.

As if on cue and as if the universe was listening, Reese's cell phone went off, silently annoying her as she gave no visible reaction to it, though she felt a nerve pop in her forehead. "Bad timing." Ed comments.

"Stuff it, Ed." Reese mumbles under her voice as she picks up her phone. "This is Dr. Reese Drake of the Sanjo City D-Lab. May I ask who's calling?"

~Yoooooo, Reeses, dawg!~ says a dude with a surfer accent over the phone, shocking her for a moment.

"Ooooh noooo." Reese mumbles in her monotone voice.

~Ayo, how've you been, man? Man, I haven't seen you in a dog's age, man. Man, shit has been real since we last hung out, dude. I'm tellin' ya, man. Shit has been poppin' off since we last saw each other, at least for me that is, yo. Ay, are you still doin' that dino- dino… that dino-hunting investigation type shit?~

"Chase, why are you calling me?" Reese asks in an annoyed tone.

Meanwhile, Ed watched innocently as Reese slowly grew annoyed with the man on the other end of the phone. ~What? A brudda can't call his homie and ask how they're doin'? Man, where's the love, man? I thought you and I go way back, man.~

"We've known each other for two years. Why are you calling me?"

~That's still a long time in my book, man. Shit, I feel like I'm the only one contributing to this relationship, ma-~

"Chase! Why. Are. You. Calling me?" Reese asks slowly, her patience worn thin.

A short silence was heard over the phone before Chase's sheepish voice piped up. ~What are the names of the dinosaurs that we're lecturing about for that college class again?~

Reese sighed in utter annoyance as she rolled her eyes as hard as she could, placing her cell phone on her shoulder as she reached for some binders. "Chase, I've given you the names like twenty times now." she berates him in a tired tone over the phone.

~I know. I'm sorry.~

Ed watched as Reese fumbled with the binder while simultaneously holding her cell phone with her cheek and shoulder, ruffling around the various pages to find what she was looking for. "SCU?"

~Uuuuh, yeah. Sanjo City University.~

"The dinosaurs are Acrocanthrosaurus, Stegosaurus, Gallimimus, uuuum… Allo- No… Yeah, Allosaurus and uuuuuh… the Deinonychus." Reese narrates over the phone.

~Thank you so much, Reeses. You are an absolute life saver. I love you. Platonically. Alright, I gotta bounce. Gotta get back to work. Call me when you're done with the paperwork, aight? I physically need them on my desk by tonight otherwise Adam is gonna chew my ass.~

"Alright, Chase. I will." Reese says, rolling her eyes in agitation.

~Aight, bye.~

With that, Reese hung up and nearly slammed her phone on the desk as she practically blew out an unforgiving yet satisfying sigh of relief as she leaned back in her chair. She felt that 10,000lbs of stress had just been lifted off of her and all of that is from talking to Chase over the phone that didn't even last a minute.

"Hate working with him." Reese mumbles to herself.

"Why? Is he lazy?" Ed asks, sitting in his wheelchair eating a bag of gummy worms.

"The opposite." Reese replies. "Truth be told, he's more hard working than me. I've seen him sleep in that office of his if it meant getting closer to whatever he was looking for. Which would range from something as little as a missing toe bone to as large as discovering a new species and trying to figure out which category of the prehistoric animal kingdom it may belong to."

"So he's a paleontologist?" Ed asks after the odd rant.

"And my partner." Reese reveals. "I might work under Dr. Taylor but I'm also the partner of a paleontologist who works for some off-brand company. Omni… Omni something or whatever. I don't know. It's a recent company that was just founded less than 6 months ago."

"So how come you hate working with him?" Ed asks.

"It's his personality. I hate it." Reese replies. "He's too loud, he's simple minded, he has this slang I can never get used to. It's like a different language. But I will admit, he is the better paleontologist between us. Maybe even better than Dr. Taylor for that matter if they ever got a chance to meet."

"So in other words, the complete opposite of you." Ed says with a smile.

"Precisely." Reese replies as she glares at the short man, the light glaring off her glasses as a vein popped on her forehead.

"I'm sorry, mistress." Ed whimpers in fear, feeling as if he had just agitated a witch of some sort.

"Wait a minute." Reese says all of a sudden before she turned around to look at the clock. "Crap! I forgot I needed to give Chase the paperwork before 6:00! I haven't even gotten to creating that A.I. I wanted to install in here. There wasn't any time."

"You were gonna create an A.I. for the D-Lab?" Ed asks, looking up at the blonde girl.

"Yes, but it's only for work purposes. I already know you're thinking of having it order pizza for you." Reese grunts, looking down at Ed like a mother scolding her child.

"Awww." Ed whined as he looked down like a scolded child.

"Please do me a favor Ed and try not to touch anything around here until I or the D-Team arrive back, understood?" Reese asks Ed while wielding her paperwork in various files.

In response, Ed saluted Reese with a thousand dollar smile, not a million because in their year, the currency kinda got broke a bit so they had to put a bandaid on it so now the currency is like a few hundred thousand dollars shorter than this time period. "Yes, ma'am!" he exclaims with enthusiasm.

Reese however gave him a skeptical look before walking away, files containing the paperwork in her arms as she exited the D-Lab, leaving the fat man alone. Ed sat in his wheelchair awkwardly, with absolutely no noise being heard within the room at all; the sound of a mouse squeaking could literally be heard in the empty, silent room. Ed turned his head towards the To-Do list, spotting the "Create D-Lab A.I." written on the notepad; that moment, an idea sprung in Ed's head as he turned towards the D-Lab's supercomputer.

"Heh, yeeah boy." Ed chuckled to himself, giddy at the idea that popped into his head.

A warehouse could be seen in the middle of a small city in the middle of the day with at least several guards roaming the rooftop. "Oh no!" shouts a guard as he accidentally walks off the roof.

Inside, however, was a much more crowded environment, with multiple armed guards roaming the entire warehouse that was filled with vehicles, multiple pallets of cocaine, heroin, meth, and various other drugs they were using to traffic. But there were only two things that stood out from the rest of the entire compound; two cages, one holding the kids, and the other holding the sleeping Dilophosaurus.

"Let us out now!" Max shouts from inside the cage. In response, one of the armed guards aimed his AKM right at the teen. "On second thought, I'd rather stay in here."

"You niños aren't going anywhere." Él Matacho says as he approaches the cage. "You see, you're in my town, so you play by my rules. ¿Comprender? (Understand?)"

"Yeah? Well too bad for you, I don't play by the rules!" Max shouts at the older man.

"It's true. He cheats during family game nights." Rex says in a monotone voice, his eyes bloodshot from the venomous spit he gained.

"Ha! Look at you, squirt! Why you remind me of me when I was your age! Except minus the brattiness of course." Él Matacho taunted Max with a grizzly smile.

"Yeah! Well you remind me of when I put my boot to your face!" Max retorts back.

"Since when did that happen?" Él Matacho sarcastically asks with a sinister grin.

"Right now!" Max shouts as he kicks the older man right in the face.

Upon being kicked in the face, Él Matacho acted accordingly and on schedule when anyone gets kicked in the face; he fell down and lost his balance. In response, all the guards cocked their weapons and aimed them at the captured trio, making them freeze right on the spot.

"Way to go, Max. Now you made them angry." Zoe scolded her friend.

"I messed up, okay?" Max impatiently admits.

Él Matacho growled- no, really, he LITERALLY growled- in anger as he glared daggers at the young teen. Picking himself up, he wiped away the dust off his white suit and approached the cage where he violently opened it, wasting no time in stepping foot inside. Max was suddenly lifted into the air and thrown out of the cage by the older, middle aged man, landing right on his shoulder with no way of breaking his fall due to his restraints. Before Max could stand up, Él Matacho pinned him to the ground by firmly pressing his boot on top of Max's face.

"Listen here, pijo." Él Matacho says to Max in a stern, low voice. "I will not be disrespected by a little prick like you in front of these fine gentlemen in this compound."

"Yo, where the whores at? My dick needs some fucking pussy over here, amigo!" shouts one of the armed men as his buddy was snorting a line of coke.

"So you better start respecting your elders, boy, or I won't hesitate in putting you in that same cage with that chupacabra." Él Matacho finished his threat.

"It's actually a Dilophosaurus." Max corrected.

The sound of a knife clicking was heard as Max felt something small and sharp being pressed against his chin, preventing him from looking down.

"And this is actually a knife." Él Matacho retorted in a grim, menacing tone with a sinister sneer.

Max's lower lip trembled in fear, being too scared to retort anything, having been pinned down by the grizzly, middle aged man. The teen was suddenly lifted up by the Hispanic man himself before being thrown back into the cage, reuniting him with his friends.

"You alright, Max?" Zoe asks her friend.

"Yeah… Yeah, I'm fine." Max replies, trying his best to mask his fear. (he failed)

"You niños better behave or else I won't hesitate to put you in the cage with the bestia (beast) over there." Él Matacho threatens, pointing to the cage with the sleeping Dilophosaurus inside.

Right at that moment, one of Él Matacho's men approached him with a flip up phone in his hand, a worried expression on the thug's face. "Señor… It's him." the thug whispered to his boss.

In response, Él Matacho grew a startled and shocked expression as he practically swiped the phone out of the thug's hands, placing it by his ear. "¿Hola?" Él Matacho greets in a cautious tone.

~Oi, wanker. It's me~ says a very familiar Australian accent.

Él Matacho sighed in annoyance in response, rolling his eyes as hard as he could like a certain blonde scientist that Zander has a crush on. "Jericho, I thought you were the Big Man." Él Matacho groans in annoyance.

~Nah, but this has to do with him.~

"What does he want?"

~He wants the you-know-what.~

"Right now? It's not… how we discussed what it looked like-"

~Anything is better than nothing right now. The Big Man is getting impatient. Bring the beast to the rendezvous point and you'll get what you want.~

"All of it?" Él Matacho asks in a whisper.

~That's what he says. Be here in an hour… otherwise that's going to be how long you have before we eventually find you and kill you if you don't show up.~

With that, Jericho hung up, leaving Él Matacho pretty much scared shitless as he shakingly closed his flip phone before looking at the ground with a grim look. "Esteven." Él Matacho calls out quietly.

"¿Sí?" a random thug says, approaching the man in the white suit.

"You're coming with me to the meet up in an hour… Try to turn that diablo (devil) back into a card as fast as you can before then." Él Matacho orders Estevan.

"Sí señor." Estevan replies, walking away as he left his boss to his own thoughts.

Él Matacho sighed deeply through his nostrils before mumbling, "Jesucristo. (Jesus Christ.)" under his breath.

The sounds of electricity cackling followed by an explosion was heard as smoke filled the entire main lab of the Backland II, with Ursula and Zander covered in ash. "Dr. Z," Ursula groaned in pain. "can't you get someone else to run these experiments on?"

"Yeah, I demand to be given health insurance!" Zander's voice boomed in the room.

"Zander, you know health insurance doesn't exist in the future. It was abolished 50 years ago… well technically in about 75 years if you count the year we're in." Dr. Z tells Zander, holding a ray gun type object in his hand. "Now stand still! I need to experiment with this new Energy Zapper Ray I invented not twenty minutes ago!"

"Doktor, you und I both know zat you have been putting zat project off for so long zat you didn't even have a beard back ven you began planning zis zing." Helga says as she entered the lab followed by Rod and Laura.

"Helga! I really gotta put a bell on you." Dr. Z mumbled after getting scared by the android from the future.

"What're you guys doing anyway?" Laura asks, leaning her head against her hands.

"Being target dummies." Zander and Ursula mumbled in response.

"I'm checking if this ray works and so far it works like a charm! Nyahahahahahahahahah- Oh, my back!" Dr .Z groans after throwing his back out again.

"So what does it do exactly, grandpa?" Rod asks, taking a closer look at the ray that Dr. Z had made.

"This here Rod my dear boy is an energy zapping ray that will instantly turn a dinosaur into a card without the use of another dinosaur! So far, only two are in existence, this one and the prototype that I lost a while ago." Dr. Z explains, momentarily thinking about how he lost his other ray.

"But if it's used for dinosaurs… why are you testing it on those two?" Laura asks her grandfather, looking up at him.

"No reason. I just wanted to." Dr. Z casually replies nonchalantly.

"AW COME ON!" Ursula shouts in rage.

"YOU HEARTLESS MONSTER!" Zander shouts back as well.

"QUIET YOU TWO!" Dr. Z shouts as he aimed his ray gun at the two.

Instead of a laser or some sort of projectile that came shooting out the ray, nothing came out, instead a CLICK! sound was heard as soon as Dr. Z pulled the trigger. "Huh. It's out of Elektridium." Dr. Z says, staring blankly at the ray for a moment. "Damn it all! I never got a chance to use it on a dinosaur!"

"Care to repeat that, doctor?" asks a familiar voice, stopping the crazed scientist in his thoughts at that moment.

"Ah! Hahaha, Dan! What're you doing here?" Dr. Z sheepishly asks as a sweat drop fell down the side of his head.

Sure enough, Dr. Ancient and his wife Dr. Cretacia were in the entrance to the lab, angry expressions on their faces as they approached the doctor. "Doctor," Dr. Ancient begins. "I thought you gave up your insane fantasy to become the dinosaur king?"

"I did, you fool! I mean, Dan." Dr. Z corrects himself. "This ray isn't for my own dream… okay, it kind of is. But this ray will save us so much time and effort that we don't really need those brats to get them! With this ray, I can turn any dinosaur into a card! True, I've had this idea for years now but it wasn't until Ed's accident that gave me motivation to complete this project of mine. It's to make sure there are no critical injuries out in the field and this ray should only be used as a last ditch method… but because I'm out of Elektridium, it's completely useless now." Dr. Z replies as he carelessly throws the ray behind his shoulder.

"Impressive. But does it hurt the dinosaur though?" Dr. Cretacia asks, intrigued by the invention.

"I don't know. I've just been using it on those two until I get bored." Dr. Z replies, pointing to the two Alpha members.

"YOU SAID IT WAS FOR AN EXPERIMENT! NOT FOR YOUR OWN JOY!" Ursula shouts in absolute rage.

"It was. An experiment to see if I can still laugh as hard as I could like when I was just a little dino scout." Dr. Z smugly says as he reminisces about the good old days.

"You were a dino scout?" Zander asks, completely taken off guard by the doctor's comment.

"I have yet to find out what would actually happen if I use this ray on an actual dinosaur. I was planning on using the first one I made but I lost it shortly before the crash. I don't know, maybe it's in the Middle Age Masyaf or something." Dr. Z lazily shrugs off the problem.

"Might I ask vhy you two have come to visit us today?" Helga asks the two paleontologists.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that." Dr. Cretacia says to herself.

"Of course." Dr. Ancient mumbles to himself with lidded eyes. "We're just here to tell you that you and Jonathan will be in charge of the Backland while we're out. We're going to have nice dinner with the Taylors tonight and I want to get there extra early to help out with the food. It's the best we can do as thanks for having the Taylors help raise our special lil- Oh yeah, that's right. He's on a mission right now."

"Heeeeeey! Why can't I be in charge of the ship?!" Dr. Z shouts in rage, offended that he wasn't even offered to be put in charge.

In response, both Dr. Cretacia and Dr. Ancient gave Dr. Z a cold stare that gave off an evil aura, their eyes having disappeared into the shadows of their face as their sharp glares shined through the shadows. Dr. Z couldn't help but feel smaller than he usually is as he had felt true fear when staring at the two doctors looking down on him.

"ok." Dr. Z says quietly as his head literally shrunk into his body, his voice more quiet than a mouse's squeak.

"Helga, can I trust you to keep the Alpha Gang in check?" Dr. Ancient asks the android.

"Kein problem. (No problem.)" Helga responded. "Zey vill not be causing any more messes around here for ze rest of ze day. You can count on zat!"

"Maybe tone it down a notch, Helga." Dr. Ancient replies in an unsteady tone.

"Alright, boys! We'll be back! And remember, if you somehow put a dent on the Backland," Dr. Cretacia's face suddenly contorted to a more evil and ominous one as a dark purple aura surrounded her, the light glaring off her glasses as she glared at the Alpha Gang. "I will not hesitate to leave you in a distant time period where humans have yet to have been evolved and leave you trapped there until you eventually die of starvation but not before going mad in isolation… KOKBYE!"

With that, Dr. Cretacia and Dr. Ancient left the room in a dash, leaving behind a terrified group of Alpha Gang members, sans Helga, as they all blankly stared at the lab door with disturbed expressions. "I don't feel safe." Dr. Z says aloud after a brief moment of silence.

"Say, grandpa, how are Max and the others doing with their mission?" Laura asks her grandfather.

"How should I know? I'm not their grandfather." Dr. Z replies in a slightly offended tone.

"Maybe you should check up no zem wiz ze Alpha Scanner." Helga suggested, a broom in her hand.

"Good idea. Glad I thought of it. Ursula, check up on those toddlers." Dr. Z demanded as he threw her an Alpha Scanner.

"I thought they were teenagers though." Zander commented, confused by his superior's word choice.

"Why do I have to check up on those brats?" Ursula asks in an annoyed tone as she turns on her scanner. "Hey, twerps. It's Ursula- DON'T YOU DARE CALL ME AN OLD LADY! Anyway, we're just wondering how everything is going over there in Costa Rica."

~ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ~ Nothing but static was heard over the controller.

"Ha. Ha. Ha." Ursula sarcastically laughed. "Very funny. I bet you guys are making an old lady joke right now, aren't you?!"

~ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ~

"Seriously guys, pick up. This isn't funny anymore."

~ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ~

"Guys?"

"I don't think they're playing with you." Zander comments from the side.

"They could be in trouble!" Rod exclaims in a panicked tone.

"Or maybe they just broke their DinoShots because they're imcompetent kids." Dr. Z wasted no time in dishing out an insult on his enemies.

"That's impossible! Anything my darling Reese makes is indestructible! I know from first hand experience!" Zander exclaims, defending his love interest.

"Well in that case: Ursula! Zander! Take Terry and Spiny and head to Costa Rica and get my dinosaur card since those kids can't seem to do it!"

"Yes, sir!" Ursula and Zander obliged at the same time.

At least now we don't have to be target practice anymore. Ursula thought to herself.

"Well? What're you two waiting for? Go get my card!" Dr. Z's voice boomed. "Take the D-Lab's teleporter if you have to. It's much faster and cleaner than your usual way of transportation. The way you drive my Alpha vehicles makes me look like an actual great driver. And remember: I did cause that 30 car accident off the highway just last week."

"That's- That's not something you should boast about, Dr. Z." Ursula replies in a disturbed tone.

"Grandpa… are you alright?" Rod asks cautiously.

"No, I've been getting really bad headaches lately and I think it's affecting my mood. Maybe it's dementia… or gas." Dr. Z shrugs off carelessly.

Laura suddenly turned to Rod, a visible concerned expression on her face. "Is grandpa dying?" she asked her brother.

"Maybe." Rod replies casually.

"Don't keep standing there! GO GET MY CARDS YOU NITWITS!" Dr. Z shouts at his subordinates.

"Yes, sir! Right away, sir!" Ursula and Zander saluted simultaneously before making like a banana and splitting the heck outta there.

"And you, short people!" Dr. Z points at his grandkids.

"I'm taller than you now and Laura is the same height as you." Rod corrected his grandfather, albeit in a confused tone.

"GO DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND ACE THOSE CLASSES SO YOU GUYS CAN GROW UP TO BE DINOSAUR KING AND QUEEN TOO!" Dr. Z commanded his grandchildren like soldiers.

"Yes, sir!" the two of them simultaneously said as they saluted as well.

"But I already finished my homework." Laura mumbles as she and her brother were walking away.

"I don't even want to be a dinosaur king. I want to be an engineer." Rod comments aloud as the two exit the room.

"AND YOU- Uuuuh…" Dr. Z stopped in his tracks as he realized who was left in the room.

"Ja. Go on, doktor. Vat vere you going to say?" Helga asks as her eyes glowed pure white in rage.

Dr. Z once again shrunk down in size as he looked up at the giant behemoth of an android, a scared expression similar to a scared child's on his face. "No." Dr. Z says quietly, realizing his mistake. "I was going to say why don't you take a day off! I'll clean the rest of this lab! Yeah!"

All of a sudden, Dr. Z began miraculously teleporting around the room, using a broom to sweep up nonexistent dirt… upside down.

"Did you roll in from dummkopf town, doktor?" Helga asks the crazy, short old man.

"Wait a minute." Dr. Z suddenly says in realization. "Why am I sending those two bozos to a man's job? I should be out there hunting that dinosaur! Helga! Grab my Alpha Scanner and Tank's card! Or just take whatever card you see first and give it to me! This is my one and only chance to finally show up at a dinosaur battle!"

"Whatever you say, doktor. Luckily for you, Jonathan told me the code for the dinosaur card safe." Helga tells the old man.

The futuristic German (or Austrian, I don't know) android maid approached a high tech cabinet fitted with a keycard scanner, passcode, and eye scanner. First, Helga punched in the numbers 22475 before swiping her keycard along the scanner before finally approaching the eye scanner. She placed her metallic eye at the scanner as it began to scan her "eye", at first picking up nothing, but in actuality, the scanner was reading her codes through her eyes. Eyes are the windows to the soul as they say, and in this case, even androids have souls… apparently… somehow.

~Android Code #482954201134 has been approved. Welcome, Helga.~ an automatic female voice said before the cabinets unlocked.

Helga reached inside and placed a special key inside a separate cabinet containing the Wind dinosaurs, unlocking it before grabbing one of the recent cards that have been processed: the Calamosaurus card. "Here you go, doktor. Take special care of it." Helga says as she gave the card to the old man.

"Of course I will! I'm always careful with my belongings." Dr. Z says as he carelessly throws his ray backwards, crashing into something afterwards. "Now it's time to show everyone who the true Dinosaur King is! That's right, baby! Dr. Z is back! Dr. Z the Dinosaur- OW! My back!"

"Your rhyming needs a bit of vork." Helga tells the doctor.

"I vasn't rhyming! I mean 'wasn't' vhyming! I mean- DAMN YOUR ACCENT!"

"Vould it be better if I changed it to Indian?" Helga asks.

"Wait? You can do that? I didn't see that in your instruction manual."

"Of course I can."

"Well… Can you change it now?"

"I cannot."

"Why not?"

"Because it is broken."

In response, Dr. Z grew a distraught expression, like a puppy that had just been kicked. "What plans does God have for me that he still keeps me alive to this day." he asks in a 'i'm sick of this shit' type tone.

Meanwhile, back at the warehouse that held both the D-Team and the Dilophosaurus hostage, things weren't looking so good for the three kids. It has almost been an hour and so far they have done nothing but play cards in the cage that the thugs graced them with in boring silence while the many thugs around the warehouse were doing their own things. Él Matacho had left almost an hour ago and almost an hour later, he's still nowhere to be seen, and so far, none of the thugs are attempting to turn the dinosaur back into a card. Mostly because of two reasons: they don't know how and they don't want to wake the thing up.

"The streets are cold, dog." says a thug to another thug inside the warehouse. "Like it says in the book: 'We are blessed AND cursed.'"

"What fucking book?" asked the other thug, having no clue what his friend was talking about.

"'Same things that makes us laugh, makes us cry.'"

"At a funeral?"

"BRUH."

The D-Team was shown still playing cards inside the cage, all crisscross applesauce with determined and concentrated expressions on their faces… well mostly just Max. "At least they gave us cards to play with." Zoe suddenly says, trying to brighten the mood a bit.

"Too bad I don't know how to play gin." Rex comments in a sad tone afterwards.

"Wait, I thought we were playing Gold Fish?" Max asks out of confusion.

"It's 'Go-Fish' Max. Not Gold Fish." corrects Rex, whom had a disappointed expression on his face.

"Oooooh. That makes much more sense."

Zoe suddenly turned to her left where she could see her and her friend's DinoShots, carelessly lying on a stack of crates several meters away. There was a single armed guard of a Hispanic descent with a bald head, wearing a white wife beater, a pistol in his holster attached to his baggy black jeans as he played on a handheld game device. Zoe couldn't help but feel useless, wanting to try and escape but knowing the outcome if she did try.

"How many times are you gonna keep looking over there Zoe?" Rex asks his friend, worried about her.

"Huh?" Zoe asks as she turns around, seeing Rex and Max giving her concerned looks. "Oh. Sorry, guys. I'm just anxious is all. What if we don't get out of this cage or worse. What if we get auctioned off or force us to do labor! I can't do labor! I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

"Ay! Shut the fuck up, puta (bitch)!" shouts the armed thug guarding their DinoShots, scaring Zoe at the moment.

"Zoe's right." Rex says, standing up as he threw his cards to the ground.

Max bent forward to look at the cards before looking at his own cards. "Yes! I won!… I think…" Max says in an unconfident tone.

"We need to do something." Rex continues saying. "Who knows what those guys are doing to our dinosaurs!"

"Who's a good boy! Who's a good boy! You are! You are, that's who! Yes, you are! Yes, you are!" exclaims a thug in a silly tone as he rubbed Chomp's and Ace's belly while Paris was nuzzling next to him.

"We need to get out of this cage, get our DinoShots, and rescue that Dilophosaurus!" Rex continues on with his short speech.

"How?!" Max loudly whispers. "There are guards everywhere! We're surrounded by them! There's no way we can escape and get out DinoShots without getting caught! I mean, these guys may be the smartest, most deadliest armed force in the world! They could be ex-military! We wouldn't stand a chance against them!"

The trio turned their attention to the many armed guards around the warehouse, whom were all doing the exact opposite of what they were supposed to be doing: guarding. Almost every single one of the armed criminals were doing various activities, such as cleaning their guns or knives, pissing in the corner, throwing darts at a dartboard while drinking. A very smart idea. There was a ragged old brown leather couch with one guy at the corner passed out while another one was begging for him to wake up.

"Wake uuuuuup… Pleeeeeease!" the man tiredly begged like a child.

Over by a small table, four guards could be seen snorting many lines of cocaine, doing a terrific job at their guarding duty, in which case, they would be fired in an instant.

"Oh, this is gonna be just like kindergarten." Max says in realization.

"Didn't you get held back in kindergarten though?" Rex asks his friend as he turns his head to him.

Zoe did the same as both Rex and Zoe gave blank but judgemental looks while Max continued to stare at the many guards. "I don't want to talk about it." he says in a depressed tone, lowering his head in shame.

"Okay. That guard has the keys over there… How do we get them?" Zoe asks the two of them.

The two boys remained silent, pondering for a moment on how they could get the key from the thug, heavily concentrated expressions on their faces. "I don't know." Rex casually replies.

In response, Zoe face palmed herself… again. "I have an idea!" Max quietly exclaims.

"Oh no." Both Rex and Zoe said at the same time, scared about the plan.

A random thug was shown standing a few feet from the cage, T-posing with a blank expression on his face. "Hey! Idiot!" Max's voice called from behind.

Immediately afterwards, the guard, now wielding a knife for some reason, literally rotated around without moving his legs, like a game character, with an even more blank expression on his face. "The fuck?!" he exclaims in rage as his knife suddenly disappears. "Hey! You guys shut the fuck up!" the thug shouts as he marches over to the cage.

All of a sudden, the collar of his shirt was grabbed by Max before being violently tugged towards the cage as his head crashed with the bars. With one tug and a single strike from the cage bars, the thug fell backwards unconscious as his keys jingled next to his belt loop. Up above, the three teens looked down at the unconscious thug's body with surprised expressions.

"You know honestly I didn't think that would work." Max reveals, staring down at the unconscious thug.

Rex bent down and carefully grabbed the keys from the guard's belt loop, successfully taking them off before placing the keys inside the lock, only to realize they didn't fit. "Oh, it's upside down." Rex mumbles to himself, correcting the key's position. The second time he tried it was successful when the cage unlocked as Rex carefully and quietly opened the gate, cautious to not alert any guards. The three D-Team members quietly snuck around the warehouse, hiding behind boxes, crates, and other objects to conceal their movements.

"This is a bad idea. This is a bad idea." Max whispers to himself in paranoia.

"It's only a bad idea if it doesn't work." Rex replies, trying to remain optimistic.

"If it doesn't work at all, then it's not an idea! It's a deathwish!" Max counters.

"It's only a deathwish if you get us caught, Max." Rex replies with a sly smile.

"He's got you there, Max." Zoe teasily comments.

"Nobody asked!" Max loudly whispers.

The three teens continued to sneak around the warehouse before they eventually reached the spot where their DinoShots were placed. The same thug that was playing on the handheld console from earlier fell asleep with his console in his hand and his AK-47 lazily leaned against the crate that had the DinoShots on top of. The assault rifle slowly slid down the crate before falling to the ground, making a noise upon impact, causing the thug to flinch in his sleep but not wake him up. Max cautiously snuck towards the crates and grabbed their DinoShots before turning back around, handing his friends their DinoShots back.

"So why does Él Matacho want this diablo anyway?" asks a voice from close by.

The three gasped as they hid behind the crate, watching as two more thugs walked by before stopping in front of said crates.

"He doesn't. Some paleontologist is paying big money to get his hands on a dinosaur card." says the other thug.

"What dinosaur card? All I see is a stupid perra lagarto (lizard bitch)!"

"That's what I said! But apparently this thing is supposed to be a card. Remember when all those dinosaurs started showing up around the world two years ago?"

"Around the time they started destroying national monuments and plants began invading the world for like an hour or so?"

"Yeah, those dinosaurs."

"Wait? They're supposed to be cards?'

"I mean, I don't know! That's what I heard. You wanna hear something strange? Those kids we have in the cage look a lot like the kids who used to battle those dinosaurs with like other dinosaurs and shit back then."

"Didn't they have weird looking dogs or lizards or whatever when we captured them? Say, where are those animales anyway?'

"Ignacio is in the back dealing with them. I don't know if he put them down already or training them to be guard dogs."

"Hold up, wasn't Señor Ibarra supposed to give that dinosaur card to some gangster from Vegas?"

"Nah, not a gangster. Just a low life, escoria (scumbag)."

"Ahahaha. Apuesto a que tiene las pelotas pequeñas, ese hijo de puta. (I bet he's got small balls, that son of a bitch.)"

"Jesucristo (Jesus Christ)." the second thug chuckled.

"Did you guys hear that?" Rex asks his two friends.

"Yeah but I don't speak Spanish." Max replies, missing the point.

"Not that! He said our dinosaurs are in the back room with a guy named Ignacio." Rex clarifies.

"Where's the back room?"

"Found it." Zoe blankly says in an emotionless tone, pointing to a random direction.

The two boys turned to where their friend was pointing, which was definitely the backroom… across the much populated warehouse full of armed thugs while one of them was riding a unicycle while juggling balls. The D-Team's reaction was nothing more but blank looks upon finding out how difficult this task was.

"You've got to be kidding me." Max says in an annoyed tone.

"How do we get there without getting caught?" Zoe asks, not having a clue on how to proceed.

"Atención (Attention)!" shouts a thug in the middle of the warehouse, standing on top of some boxes. "Everybody gather around now and give thanks to our lord and blessing us for this wonderful, beautiful day. Blessing us upon seeing an actual living dinosaur… and blessing us that we will earn a lot of mullah from selling said living dinosaur. Let us now take a moment and say our prayers in silence."

With that said, everyone inside the warehouse simultaneously bowed and began saying their prayers in their heads with their eyes closed, presenting the D-Team the perfect opportunity to sneak by. "That'll do." Zoe answers her own question.

A praying thug sniffed his nose before scratching his butt while behind him and his allies, the D-Team quietly snuck towards some crates to hide behind. First one up was Rex, whom did a simple tip toe maneuver before making it one the other side of the crates. Next one up was Zoe, who did a really cool roll as she made it behind the crate with Rex. Finally, Max was the last one to sneak by, whom couldn't help but look at the praying thugs, paranoid that one of them would turn around. Despite freaking out, Max had absolutely nothing to worry about, as all the thugs were busy praying to even notice them, while one of them scratched his nose as he sniffled once more.

Max continued to sneak by but because he wasn't looking where he was going, he accidentally stepped on an unopened beer can, falling backwards as he fell to the floor.

"Woah!"

*CRASH!*

All three teens gasped in response as they snapped their heads towards the praying group of thugs, noticing one of them lifting their heads after Max had fallen down. Rex and Zoe couldn't help but stare at the thugs, waiting for them to turn around as Max froze in fear, like a deer in headlights, unable to move and get into a hiding spot before it was too late. The thug continued to just stand there as the three teens waited nervously for him to turn around and see what caused the loud noise behind him.

"Atfffu!" the thug sneezed before sniffling and wiping his nose with his sleeve.

Max blew a sigh of relief, happy that he didn't get caught… until he let out a quiet fart.

*toot*

"WHAT THE HELL?!" the thug shouts in absolute rage, violently turning around and spotting the three kids.

"SON OF A DINO CUSS WORD!" Max shouts as Rex practically picked him up and carries him away.

Every single guard grabbed their weapons and began to belligerent fire at the three fleeing teens, a single stray bullet striking the lock on the cage that held the Dilophosaurus. A piece of the lock bounced off and struck the unconscious Dilophosaurus' head, at first not waking the dinosaur up… until it suddenly opened it's eyes, snarling upon waking up.

"Alright, who ripped ass out here?" the muffled voice of a thug outside of the back room was heard.

The door to the back room suddenly opened as Max, Zoe, and Rex burst into the back room, bullets whizzing past them as they slammed the door shut before barricading it with a table. "I think that went well." Max says, trying to optimize the situation.

"How did we make it all the way over here without a single bullet inflicted injury?" Rex asks no one in particular, clearly traumatized by the events that had just unfolded.

The three teens suddenly looked ahead, seeing the thug holding their dinosaurs captive waiting patiently for them to finish eating while he stroked Paris' head and tail. One would think the thug would've grabbed his gun but instead, he too was like a deer frozen in headlights, having been caught showing his soft side despite being an international arms and drug trafficker.

"Don't tell the others please." the thug pretty much begs the D-Team.

The three D-Team members glanced at each other, not knowing how to properly respond to this awkward situation. "Attention, perras (bithces)… and niña (girl)!" shouts a thug from behind the door. "We are the cops! I command you to open the door! If you fail to open the door, we will shoot you because we are police officers and we can get away with anything!"

"Dude, that's messed up. My cousin got shot down by a police officer last month." said a thug in an offended tone.

"Wait, that was your cousin?" asked the previous thug, a confused expression on his face.

Right at that moment, a loud roar was heard as the warehouse walls suddenly collapsed as two large carnivorous dinosaurs smashed right through them: Terry and Spiny. Everyone seized what they were doing as they turned to the gigantic hole in the wall with the two dinosaurs staring down at them. Down below towards their feet were their owners: Ursula and Zander respectively.

"Hahaha!" Ursula dramatically laughs. "Lo and behold as the beautiful Ursula enters the stage with her ferocious, sweet baby T-Rex, Terry!"

"And the oh so zantastic Zander makes his grand entrance swiftly like a ship in the sea with my very own sea serpent, Spiny the Spinosaurus!" Zander dramatically announces as well.

"We are the Alpha Gang, your worst nightmare wide awake! Prepare to fight and don't you dare make a mistake!" the two of them finished their new motto together as they posed dramatically.

In response, the sounds of many assault rifles and various other guns cocking was heard as every single thug in the warehouse pointed their weapons at the Alpha Duo. "Ay, I think you're in the wrong neighborhood, señora mayor! (old lady!)" proclaims a random thug in the group.

Both Ursula and Zander froze in place as they raised their hands in surrender while Terry and Spiny simply stood there, not knowing what was going on. "This did not go the way I planned." Ursula says to herself with a fearful expression.

"Next time, I'm coming up with the plan." Zander retorts back, equally scared with his hands in the air.

Before anyone could say anything, the sound of a growl was heard followed by rattling and hissing, prompting everyone to turn around to the direction of the noise. The origin of the sounds came from inside the Dilophosaurus cage, which was completely hidden in the shadows, preventing anyone from seeing the dinosaur. An eerie silence followed afterwards as all eyes were trained towards the dark cage, waiting for some sort of movement to be seen from inside the cage.

"Who brought a rattlesnake?" asked a random thug.

All of a sudden, the Dilophosaurus burst out from the (unlocked) cage and landed directly in front of the group of thugs, roaring in rage at them. The Dilophosaurus' frills shot outward as the theropod itself hissed, it's frills rattling like a rattlesnake, intimidating the thugs even more. In the blink of an eye, the Dilophosaurus spat out it's venomous spit into one of the thug's eyes, blinding him while also damaging his retinas.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" the thug screamed in horrific pain.

The Dilophosaurus suddenly leapt over the man and pounced onto another man, chomping it's jaws down right onto the thug's head, violently shaking the thug as he screamed in terror. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" the thug screamed in horrific pain as multiple razor sharp teeth sunk into his face.

"¡Ay Dios mío! ¡Duele! ¡Ay Dios mío! ¡Me voy a morir! ¡No! ¡Jesús! ¡Señor ayúdame! ¡Sálvame! ¡AYUDA! (Oh my God! It hurts! Oh my God! I'm gonna die! No! Jesus! Lord help me! Save me! HELP!)" the blind thug shouted in Spanish, dangerously waving his AK-47 around carelessly.

"JESUS (hay-SOOS)! DON'T!" shouts one of the thugs in panic. And like the classic and cliche and overused trope of a blind soldier, he began to blindly fire his weapon all over the place in hopes of shooting the Dilophosaurus. "TAKE COVER!"

Unfortunately, many of the armed thugs were hit with stray bullets, leaving them with all sorts of injuries, ranging from 'tis but a flesh wound' to outright 'aw shit, i'm dead.'. Ursula and Zander screamed in terror as they hid behind their dinosaurs while everyone in the warehouse began panicking, quickly trying to find a place to hide from their dangerous blind buddy. While many of the thugs were getting shot down by their own man, the Dilophosaurus took advantage of the ensuing chaos to get in a bit of revenge… and lunch. Everywhere it turned, it pounced and began mauling the thugs to death, actually ripping parts of their flesh off and consuming it, all while the blind thug continued to fire his weapon like a headless rooster. I refuse to use the actual saying.

Now we have no idea how tough dinosaur skin is but we also know that the Dilophosaurus did not spit venom or have retractable frills and that Spinosaurus didn't look like how it's depicted in the anime and the Jurassic Park series. So here's another incorrect dinosaur fact for the sake of this story: they are bulletproof, demonstrated when a stray bullet struck Terry's shoulder, much like a pebble hitting a human shoulder. Terry turned to the dinosaur standing next to him, Spiny, mistaking the Spinosaurus for tapping Terry on accident. Because he's a T-Rex and his element is fire, of course he has a heated temper, evident when Terry roared in anger before chomping down onto Spiny's neck, dropping him to the ground. Yes, I made up a dinosaur fact for this joke alone. I am not sorry paleontologists… and you Drew.

"Hey, I just realized something." Ursula says in realization (no duh). "That creep called me an old lady in Spanish earlier! How dare you! I am no old lady! I am a beautiful teenaged girl! I'm about to have my quinceanera! So él stoppo with the insulto before I can kick your asso all over the patio! Comprende?!"

"I think he has bigger problems than you, Ursula." Zander comments, watching the ensuing chaos erupt in front of him.

"I AM THE BIGGEST PROBLEM! Wait, that didn't come out right."

The screaming blind thug continued to scream and blindly fire his assault rifle into the crowded warehouse until it began clicking, indicating that it ran out of ammo. The blind thug didn't even notice this as he had bigger problems than that but he had no time to solve them as the Dilophosaurus pounced right on top of him and took his life then and there.

Él Matacho could be seen in the passenger seat of a black SUV while one of his men drove said vehicle, the two of them sitting in silence as they were heading back to the warehouse. "Hey, did you hear about that Russian metro getting bombed by suicide bombers?" asked his henchman.

"What's with Russia and destroying everything nowadays?" Él Matacho asks in confusion. The henchman suddenly slammed his brakes as Él Matacho hit his head on the dashboard from the sudden stop. "Jesus, Estevez! If it's a sensitive topic, then why did you bring it up?!"

"Not that there's a… Well…" Estevez spits out, unable to complete a sentence as he stared dead ahead in front of him.

"What?" Él Matacho asked before turning to the front, realizing why his henchman stopped. "Oh for the love of…" What the two Spanish men saw was the giant hole in the warehouse they were once in with two dinosaur tails sticking out of it, and a lot of bullet holes on the outside of the warehouse. "I JUST LEASED THIS WAREHOUSE TOO!"

Max tried kicking down the backroom door once the gunshots stopped, but he couldn't as unbeknownst to him, the door was blocked by many dead bodies. "This is deja vu." Max sarcastically says, glaring at the door. "What's next? A dinosaur suddenly bites on someone's leg?"

*CRUNCH!*

"AAAAAAAAA! THIS LIZARD JUST BIT MY FREAKIN' LEG, MAN!" shouts a random thug from outside.

Max showed no reaction to this as Rex sighed in defeat before pulling out a wad of cash and giving it to Zoe, whom had a triumphant smile on her face. "I should go to Vegas." she chuckles to herself as she counts her bet money.

"Wait! I have an idea! We can just bust out of here with our Dinos!" Max confidently says as he grabbed his DinoShot. Chuckling a bit, he pressed a button to turn Chomp into a card… only for it to not to do anything. Curious, the teen opened up the stone slot where his elemental stone was at only to find out that it was empty. "Nice. They took the stones."

"Oh yeah, we thought about pawning them but then we didn't know if they're were legit or not." said the thug whom was playing with the dinosaurs earlier.

"Well… Where are they?" Rex asks.

"Inuhno." the thug mumbled, shrugging his shoulders.

"Thanks. You're really helpful." the blonde teen replies in a sarcastic manner.

Ursula and Zander peeked from behind their dinosaurs to see the Dilophosaurus trying to pick up an AK with it's claws, only managing to nudge it a bit. Upon touching it, the gun accidentally got set off, striking a fallen thug on the ground, whom immediately cried out in pain.

"OOOOOOOOOOW! I WAS PLAYING DEAD YOU ASSHOLE!" shouts the thug before the Dilophosaurus claimed another kill.

"Should we… I don't know… Intervene?" Zander asks his adoptive younger sister, peeking out from Spiny's leg.

All of a sudden, both Terry and Spiny roared, having enough of waiting around as the Dilophosaurus roared back, the sky suddenly turning into bubble colors as a battlefield appeared. Estevez panicky slapped Él Matacho's shoulder as he looked up in the sky in horror.

"Señor! Señor! The sky changed color!" Estevez shouted as he pointed to the sky in terror.

"That's what you're worried about?!" Él Matacho shouts at his man.

The Dilophosaurus stomped it's left paw on the ground before roaring into the air as a silver/light blue glow emitted from it as it got into a stance, using it's previous move before. The dinosaur suddenly began charging at the two carnivorous dinosaurs as it began to glow pink until it was mere inches away from the two before disappearing. Both Terry and Spiny started looking everywhere to see where the Dilophosaurus disappeared when suddenly a small tornado formed around them. Before they could even process the situation, the Dilophosaurus began to rapidly strike the two theropods, no doubt dealing some serious damage as it finished it's attack, sliding away as it looked at it's enemies.

"That thing just used Mayfly!" Zander exclaims in shock.

"Grrrrrr! Well let's see how it deals with Volcano Burst!" Ursula shouts as she activates her move card.

Terry roared into the air as scorching fire spawned into his mouth, practically waving it like it was a torch before firing it towards the ground. The flames sped towards the Dilophosaurus at high speeds, much like a rocket engine; unfortunately, the Dilophosaurus jumped out of the way on time, dodging the attack all together.

"Woah. That thing moves fast." Zander narrates.

"Don't just stand there! Use a move card too!" Ursula demands the tall man.

"R-Right!" Zander says as he grabbed a move card. "Spiny, use Shockwave!"

The Spinosaurus obliged his partner's commands as a vortex of water surrounded Spiny before the theropod roared, sending tendrils of vortex towards the Dilophosaurus. Once again, the theropod jumped out of the way once more, dodging the attack as it made more distance between the two dinosaurs.

"You're right. That thing is fast." Ursula comments in awe.

"Nyahahahahaha!" laughs a familiar laugh, startling the two Alpha members.

"Nooooo. It can't be." Zander says as the two turned around, meeting Dr. Z eye to eye.

"I thought you two dimwits would've had trouble catching this dinosaur so I came along! On time too! Nyahahahaha-" His evil laugh was interrupted when the Dilophosaurus spat it's stinging spit right into the mad scientist's eyes, blinding him in the moment. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I'VE FINALLY GONE BLIND! I ALWAYS THOUGHT I'D LOSE MY HEARING FIRST! AAAAAAAAAAH!"

Max continued to kick and bang on the inadvertently barricaded door, but to no avail. "There has to be some other way to get out of here!" Max shouts in anger. "Maybe a vent or something? A back door? Window?"

"Trust me kid. This room leads to nowhere… except the baño (toilet/bathroom)." the thug in the corner says.

"Great."

"Are you sure you don't know where our stones are?" Rex asked the thug.

"Why should I help you, mocosos (brats)?" the thug asked, finally obtaining some brains. "We caught you and your pet dinosaurs. Why would I ever tell you where your stones are even if I did know where they are?"

Zoe suddenly crouched down and slapped her hand right on the thug's shoulder, firmly gripping it as it startled the thug. The thug turned back to the pinkette, whom now had a soft, yet merciless, smile as her eyelids were softly shut. "Because," she says in a soft tone, yet it came out as a threat. "all of your friends are dead and soon you will be too if you do not tell us where our stones are." She suddenly tilted her head. "Either way, your friends are never coming back and you will be the sole survivor of this horrific massacre and you will have to live on for the rest of your life knowing you could've prevented it if you told us where our stones were."

The thug had a severely traumatized expression, never having been this scared in his entire life, as his entire body shook in undoubt, resplendent trepidation. "They're in the filing cabinet in the desk over there. We were going to just use them as paperweights."

Rex approached said filing cabinet but noticed that it was locked. "It needs a key." he calls out.

"Give it up." Max firmly says, holding out his hand with a glare.

"Go to hell!" the thug shouts.

Zoe once again placed her other hand on the thug's other shoulder, still retaining the same malevolent smile. "Care to repeat that?" she asks in the same, eerie soft tone.

The thug immediately gave up the keys to Max… whom slapped him in the face afterwards before walking over to the filing cabinet. He placed the key inside the lock and turned it, successfully unlocking the cabinet as he pulled it out, revealing that their stones were indeed inside the cabinet.

"We gotta stop giving these idiots credit." Max says as the three reach for their stone.

"You're one to talk." Zoe retorts back.

"Wait. What're you guys gonna d-"

"DINO SLASH! GO TRICERATOPS! ROAR!"

The entire backroom burst wide open as Chomp leapt into the battlefield, letting out a loud, assertive roar into the air. The Dilophosaurus snapped around, roaring at the new opponent that had appeared out of nowhere, trying to assert it's dominance and it's territory.

"Alright, Chomp! Let's show them how it's done! Go! Electric Charge!" Max shouts as he activates the move card.

Chomp glowed gold as he roared into the air, a ball of electricity forming on the tips of his horns before firing it at the theropod. However, the Dilophosaurus is nothing, if not predictable as he yet again leapt out of the way at the last second, the Electric Charge heading towards Terry and Spiny instead. Because of their already weakened state due to the Dilophosaurus' Mayfly, the Electric Charge, an already powerful attack, was like giving a booster shot to a baby. Upon impact, the two dinosaurs shook as their nervous systems went haywire before they eventually lost all energy and turned back into cards.

"Heeeey! We're on the same team! I thought we established this back in Canada!" Ursula shouts at Max in utter rage.

"Oops. Sorry." Max apologized as if he accidentally threw a softball at his neighbor.

The Dilophosaurus once again slammed it's paw to the ground before roaring and glowing light blue where it began to rush towards Chomp. "It's using Mayfly again!" Rex warned Max.

"Oh no." Max mutters, knowing it's already too late to give a command.

The Dilophosaurus continued to rush towards Chomp, getting closer and closer by the second as it began to glow pink. However, unbeknownst to anyone in the world, the attack was interrupted when a sudden object collided with the Dilophosaurus, ending it's attack early while also sending it crashing into some boxes.

"Wait. What just happened?" Zoe asked, not knowing what was going on.

"I HAPPENED!" a screech was heard, startling the kids as they knew who the screech belonged to. Dr. Z stood up in the air high and proud, ripping away parts of the sticky venomous spit on his eyes, which were now revealed to be puffy red. "You didn't think I would-" Dr. Z suddenly turned around, realizing he was facing the wrong direction. "Oh… You didn't think I would show up this time, didja kids? Well it's finally high time that the true Dinosaur King is back with a vengeance! And what better way than to actually use Vengeance! Come out here my beautiful Calamosaurus!"

Sure enough, the Calamosaurus that was caught in Monroe, Washington, now named Vengeance thanks to Dr. Z, landed behind him, roaring out a defensive roar. "Okay… Even I gotta admit that's kind of cool." Max says, watching the scene unfold.

"Why can't the old lady be like this more often?" Zoe asks in an awestruck tone.

"Ursula, I think Zoe just called you-"

"Yeah, no. I'm good. I'm good." Ursula interjected Zander by lazily waving her hand, awestruck at the awesome entrance her superior just performed.

The Dilophosaurus roared at it's opponent, as did Vengeance the Calamosaurus himself, the two theropods at a standoff. Suddenly, the Dilophosaurus shot out it's frills as they began rattling while the theropod itself began hissing, getting ready to fire it's signature attack. Venomous spit shot out from the jaws of the Dilophosaurus and towards the Calamosaurus, but unlike it's previous victims, the Dilophosaurus never met anything else as fast as it when the Calamosaurus jumped into the air, dodging the spit all together. Instead, the spit landed on Dr. Z's beard and lab coat.

"Really?!" Dr. Z asks in utter anger at the Dilophosaurus.

The Calamosaurus landed directly on the Dilophosaurus, chomping it's jaws on the neck as the two theropods wrestled on the floor. The Dilophosaurus suddenly kicked the Calamosaurus off of it's body, finally obtaining some breathing room as the Calamosaurus swiftly landed a few feet away from it. The two theropods clashed once again, their heads practically colliding with each other as the two continued to scratch and bite at each other, a prehistoric, animalistic and primal fight happening in the modern world. The Calamosaurus knocked the venom spitting theropod away with it's tail, sending it crashing into a vehicle, completely obliterating the side. Vengeance let out a triumphant roar brimming with confidence, feeling as if it could fight Zeus himself and win. Once again, we all know what this is, the Dilophosaurus slammed it's paw to the ground, glowed light blue, roared into the air, and charged towards the Calamosaurus.

"Watch out, doctor! That move is stupid strong!" Ursula warned her adoptive father.

"Yeah! It completely depleted Terry's and Spiny's energy!" Zander added on.

"You fools. You think I don't know that. I already have a counterattack against this devious Dilophosaurus." Dr. Z says as he grabbed a move card, though he was squinting at it due to his damaged eyes. "Go Vengeance! Use Sonic Blast!" Dr. Z commanded as he activated a move card.

Vengeance the Calamosaurus roared into the air and glowed light blue… but did not do what Dr. Z commanded him to do. Instead, he ran towards the speeding Dilophosaurus as he too began charging towards it; the two theropods finally met in the middle before they both suddenly disappeared. The Dilophosaurus managed to miss the attack, for once, while also getting interrupted when it was suddenly lifted up into the air as a tornado suddenly appeared around it. The Dilophosaurus cried out, not knowing what was going on as it continued to be lifted into the air before crashing with the ceiling, dealing some serious damage to it's energy. The venom spitting dinosaur fell down and crashed to the floor, where the attack was topped off by the Calamosaurus landing hard on top of the Dilophosaurus, dealing the final blow. The Dilophosaurus glowed light blue before it turned into a card, the sky returning back to normal as the battlefield disappeared.

"ALRIIIIGHT!" the Alpha Duo shout in triumph.

"Okay wow… Just… Wow." Max says in awe.

"I never thought I'd ever have respect for Dr. Z in my entire life." Zoe comments.

"…Yeah, I uh… I- I couldn't see anything to be honest. I think that spit did something to my eyes. You're all just blurs for me." Rex admits in a monotone, emotionless voice.

"Huh. That's strange. That's not the move I told him to use." Dr. Z suddenly looked down at his card and realized his blunder. "AH! No wonder! I accidentally used Tornado Toss instead! How could I mistake the two!"

"Maybe the spit affected your vision?" Zander theorizes.

"Yeah, no, that's probably it. Because, again, you're all blurry for me." Rex says loudly from afar.

"Hey, guys. Is it bad that I can only black right now?" Dr. Z asks, squinting as hard as he could.

A moment of silence passed by before Ursula spoke up once more. "I think, uh… I think you've gone blind." she says in a slightly shocked tone.

Él Matacho approached the destroyed warehouse, having a pretty much defeated expression on his face as he did nothing but just stare at the once built building. "I'm gonna die." he says in a terrified tone. "I don't have the gold and I don't have the card… I am going to die… What else can go wrong?"

Right at that moment, his henchman and driver, Estevez, approached him. "Excuse me, señor?" the henchman begins. "I know this is a bad time and all but I just have to admit this… Your daughter is a really good kisser."

One would think Él Matacho would finally pull out his gun and aim it directly at the man's head without even looking and actually fire a shot. However, instead Él Matacho slowly turned his head to his henchman, giving him an utterly confused look.

"I don't have a daughter." Él Matacho reveals to the man, confused on what he was talking about.

This resulted in a super awkward moment where the two of them just blankly stared at each other, not knowing what to say to break the awkward silence.

Max bent down and grabbed the Dilophosaurus card as he summoned Chomp back into his chibi form. "Alright. We got the Dilophosaurus card… I hate this dinosaur already." Max says in audible anger.

"Yeah, no kidding. That dinosaur was a major head sore just to turn it into a card. That thing was super fast." Zoe says as she holds Paris in her hands.

"Yeah, no kidding." Rex replies, facing the other direction. "That spit attack was super annoying. It's a good thing we have the card and nobody else. Otherwise they might use it for bad things."

"Rex we're… We're behind you." Zoe corrected her partially blind friend.

Rex turned around, seeing colorful blurs entering his vision. "Oh, no wonder I couldn't see your pink hair, Zoe."

"I'm Max." the teen corrected, as Rex was talking directly to him.

"Then where's Zoe?"

"Alright, Rex. Let's get you back home and get you some glasses. I think that venomous spit did something to your eyes." Zoe says, grabbing Rex's shoulder as she begins to herd him out of the warehouse.

"Speak for yourself. I think I completely went blind because of that dumb Dilophosaurus." Dr. Z comments, trying his best to return his Calamosaurus into a card.

"Wait a minute." Max says all of a sudden. "Dr. Z, how were you able to summon that Calamosaurus anyway? I thought Rex had the wind stone."

"I used a copy that Seth made a long time ago for this one time. Speaking of which, Rex, can you turn my sweet baby Vengeance back into a card?" Dr. Z politely asked, for once.

"Sure." Rex pressed a random button on his DinoShot… which ultimately turned Ace into a card and went straight into the blonde's hands. "Here you go."

"Thank you my dear boy." Dr. Z thanks as he grabs Ace's card. "Oh, you were a good Calamosaurus, weren't you Vengeance? You deserve a big meal of any kind of meat you want when we get back to the Backland."

Dr. Z and Rex began walking off together, leaving Ursula, Zander, Max, and Zoe behind, watching them completely mistake Ace's card for the Calamosaurus', whom was standing right behind the four. "Should we tell them that's not the right card?" Zoe asks with a raised eyebrow.

"No, no… Let's see how long this goes on." Zander says as both Rex and Dr. Z walked off the edge and into the ocean.

"WOAH!"

*SPLASH!*

Él Matacho and Estevez walked down a dark corridor, his expensive shoes clanging with the marble floor as he continued to strut down the empty hallway with his wheelman. Despite being a middle aged man, he had a terrified expression on his face as he continued to approach his own death wish while Estevez' face was hidden in the shadows. He walked through some double kitchen doors and entered a butcher room, where Jericho and a few armed men were waiting for him.

"Anselmo." Jericho says with a glare.

"Jericho." Él Matacho greets back.

"Let's get down to business, mate… Do you have the card?" Jericho asked, although he already knew the answer.

"Well, um… You see… Well… Here's the thing-"

"I don't want excuses, Anselmo… I want answers." Jericho threatened in a menacing tone.

Él Matacho gulped down his worries, although they still came back shortly afterwards. "N-No, I do-"

*BANG!*

Él Matacho stopped his sentence as a loud gunshot went off, his eyes going completely wide as his mouth agape, his lower lip trembled in shock. He suddenly turned to the side to see that Estevez's face was completely blown off, his skull visible to the naked eye as the wheelman fell over dead. Él Matacho watched as his wheelman's body collapsed to the ground after being mercilessly killed for no explicit reason, or a reason that the middle aged man didn't understand. The man in the white suit turned back to the Australian, whom retained his menacing look, holding out one of his signature double barrel shotguns outwards.

"Next time I won't miss." Jericho says in a grim tone.

"You just… You- You just-"

"Yeah… So what?" Jericho asks, interrupting the man.

"He didn't do anything! You didn't have to shoot him!"

"I didn't shoot him because he was useless… I shot him because you're useless." Jericho clarified, causing the man to gasp in fear. "You only had one job to do and it was to give the card to that kid… and look what happened. Your entire crew, dead. No gold, no card, no dinosaur… No luck. The Fist is asking for this card and that kid you were supposed to give it to was going to give it to his paleontologist friend. However… it seems plans have changed, haven't they? No matter… The Fist always has a back up plan." Jericho says, slowly grabbing a radio from his jacket pocket.

He placed the radio on the butcher table, Él Matacho's eyes trained on them as the Australian hit play.

~Mr. Ibarra,~ says a distorted voice. ~It has come to my knowledge that you have failed to retrieve what my colleague was looking for. You know very well I am not a man of forgiveness… I will not tolerate another failure from you again. Do you understand me?~

Él Matacho gulped once again, scared of the unseen man even though he wasn't even in the room to begin with. "Sí, señor." he answers.

~It is imperative that we obtain as many of these dinosaur cards as possible. My colleague is paying a handsome sum for these cards. He says he plans something… 'big' with them.~

"What kind of plans, sir?"

~…That… is none of your concern… Do not fail us again, Anselmo. Otherwise the next time you drink a glass of wine… may be your last.~

*ZZZZZT!*

Él Matacho looked back up at Jericho, whom still retained his ominous expression, still weidling his double barrel shotgun in his hands. "Well…" the middle aged man says, scared out of his mind. "I… I swear, I won't fail The Fist next time."

"I know… Now come with us." Jericho replies, motioning his shotgun to the back of the room.

Él Matacho was confused on what his (kind of) ally meant. "Wha… What do you… What do you mean? I thought I was heading back to my hote-"

"Why do you think these blokes are along for?" the Australian asks, motioning to his men. "You're coming with us… And you're not leaving our sight. We're meeting with the Poacher in Kenya… All of us… including The Fist."

"The Fist is going to be there? Why?"

"Never you mind that… Just follow us… Or do you want to join your wheelman there?" Jericho threatened.

Él Matacho looked down, seeing Estevez's body lying in a puddle of blood inside the abandoned butcher kitchen. "I think I'll go with you guys." he says, smartening up as he walked towards the back of the kitchen.

"That's what I wanted to hear." Jericho says with a devious smile.

Later that evening at the Taylor's household, a big get together dinner was behind held, containing the Taylors, Drakes, and Ancients. "Wow, this food taste wonderful, Mrs. Taylor!" Zoe compliments, eating some rice balls that Aki prepared.

"Yeah, no kidding! Mom makes the best food." Max says, practically shoving meat down his throat… not that kind.

"Oh, I don't know, Max. My mom makes mean cookies sometimes." Rex jokes, eating a piece of a napkin instead of rice. "This rice tastes kind of off."

"Oh, it's true. My cookies are to DIE for. They'll MURDER anyone in a short distance. Be careful not to CHOKE on their sweet, delicious, chocolatey goodness." Dr. Cretacia joked and laughed out loud at her puns… which weren't really puns. "AHAHAHA!"

"You really need to work on your puns, Cheryl." Dr. Ancient tells his wife in a deadpan tone.

"What puns?" Dr. Cretacia asks, confused as to what her husband meant.

"I guess all of our moms are great cooks, right Mrs. Drake?" Max asks Zoe's mother.

"Oh, don't look at me. He's the cook." Mrs. Drake points to her vet husband.

"It's true. Mom can't even cook waffles without burning them." Reese slyly says, sticking some food in her mouth.

"Thanks for sharing the world, Reese." Mrs. Drake deadpan says.

"Max, smaller bites. Where are your manners? You eat like a dinosaur." Aki jokes, gently holding her chopsticks with a soft smile.

"After today, I might as well be."

"So you kids say it was a Dilophosaurus down in Costa Rica?" Spike asks, intrigued on how the mission went.

"Yeah, and it was really annoying and dangerous. Especially when it kept shooting it's spit at our eyes." Max says in between bites.

"It shot spit at you? Like in Jurassic Park? I thought that was a scientific inaccuracy."

"The whole franchise is a scientific inaccuracy." Dr. Ancient angrily mumbles.

"What was that dear?" his wife asked him, genuinely not hearing what he said.

"Oh, I said uh, 'This wholewheat pie is like a specific satisfactory." Dr. Ancient lied through his teeth with a smile.

Dr. Cretacia looked at her husband in such a confused manner, that not even I can describe how she reacted. "What?" she asks in utter confusion.

"Whatever happened to the dinosaur card anyway?" Dr. Drake asks as he ate his dinner.

"Oh, it's back up in the Backland." Dr. Ancient replies. Unbeknownst to anyone in the house, the Backland could be seen teleporting something either out of it or into it as the transportation beam could be seen activating outside before disappearing. Again, this went unnoticed by everyone. "I had Jonathan place it in the safe so we could process it. We already processed 'Vengeance' as Dr. Z coined, so it's already safe in a separate… well safe. We were going to process the others right after dinner but it might take a while considering you made a buffet, Aki."

"Well, I just HAD to make a big dinner ever since you guys came back into our lives." Aki replies back with a smile.

"Say, where's the Alpha Gang?" Zoe asks all of a sudden.

"Ed's still back at the D-Lab I think." Reese answers. "Zander told me Ed was going to stay there all night. Saying he needed to work on something important. The other two took Dr. Z to the doctor to see if he actually went blind from the Dilophosaurs' spit."

"Alright, tell me what you see right now." an African-American optometrist said to Dr. Z as he held up some keycards.

"Black." Dr. Z says immediately, confirming that he is indeed blind.

"Oh, I see how it is." the African-American optometrist says in an offended tone.

"NO, I DIDN'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT!" Dr. Z shouts in anger.

Dr. Cretacia suddenly looked to her side, noticing her son was eating a napkin and has not even touched his food. "Rex, honey you're eating a napkin." Dr. Cretacia informs her son in a concerned tone.

Rex momentarily stopped chewing and squinted at the napkin. "Oh… I wasn't wondering why the rice tasted funny." Rex admits.

"Son, did you get hit by the Dilophosaurus' spit?" Dr. Ancient asks.

"Yeah. I didn't tell you?"

"No… You didn't… At all… Not a single time today-"

"Okay, I get it. I think I need to start wearing glasses. I hope this isn't permanent. I don't want to wear glasses." Rex comments.

"And what's wrong with glasses?" Reese asks in a menacing tone.

"Nothing." Rex replies, completely unfazed by Reese' passive aggressive threat. "I just don't think they'll look good on me."

"Oh… I mean… I only wear glasses when I don't have my contacts on soooo…"

The conversation was interrupted when a flash of light appeared in the backyard, suddenly interrupting the huge dinner as everyone turned to the sliding glass door. Upon looking outside, everyone gasped as they all got out of their chairs, practically rushing towards the back door. There, outside laid the shut down bodies of Helga and Jonathan, whom appear to be offline.

"Helga? Jonathan! What happened!" Dr. Ancient asks as he bent down to the two androids.

"How did they get down here? I thought they were in the Backland?" Max asks as he looked down at the two androids.

Meanwhile, Rex could be seen walking directly into the sliding glass door, falling to the ground afterwards while leaving a large crack in the door. "Ow!" he exclaims.

A loud engine roared in the sky, prompting everyone to look up, where they saw the Backland uncloak in the sky as the engines glowed in the dark. "The Backland?" Zoe says in confusion.

"That's impossible. If Helga and Jonathan are up there, and the Alpha Gang are out and about… who's taking control of the Backland?" Dr. Ancient asks in utter confusion.

Right at that moment, a time vortex suddenly opened in the sky as the Backland II flew right into it as the vortex closed shortly afterwards. "Someone just took the Backland!" Zoe shouts in shock.

"How?! Who?! Why?!" Dr. Ancient panickly asks.

"They just hijacked the Backland and… And time warped." Dr. Cretacia announces in utter shock.

"What time did they warp back to?!" Max asks in a panic.

"No clue." Dr. Ancient replies. He continued to stare up at the sky in utter shock and awe. "Who in the hell took the Backland?"

TO BE CONTINUED…

Ed could be seen sleeping on the main D-Lab's desk that had the supercomputer, the sliding symbol of the D-Team could be seen sliding on the screen… and hitting the corner. Ed's soft snores were interrupted when the lights of the D-Lab were turned on, rudely awakening him from his slumber. He turned to the entrance to see Reese, Spike, and the D-Team kids, with Rex tripping on the stairs, rushing towards him with panicked expressions.

"Ed. Move." Reese demanded, practically shoving Ed's wheelchair away.

"Weeeeeeeeeeeeee." Ed says in a silly tone. "Hey, where's the fire?"

"Someone just took the Backland and warped out of this time period!" Rex tells the fat man, facing the opposite direction due to his impaired vision.

"W-WHAT?! How did they take it?!" Ed asks in a frightened tone.

"We have no clue." Reese replies as she starts up her computer. "But this computer is connected directly to the Backland so I can be able to find out which time period it warped into. You just have to give me a few minutes."

"WAIT, REESE! NO! DON'T STOP THE A.I. DOWNLOAD-"

At that moment, the computer screen went white as a smiley face appeared on it. ~Hello, Reese~ the voice belonging to Text-to-Speech Mike spoke out from the screen.

Reese stared blankly at the face. "wot." she lets out.

~You might be wondering why your awesome computer thingy won't turn on. Allow me to introduce myself.~

"wot."

~My name is Chu-As, and I am your new A.I. director for the Dick Lab.~

Everyone was in utter silence upon seeing the recent addition to the D-Lab… that nobody knew was coming. "Ed." Reese calmly says.

"Yeah?" Ed answers.

"You're no longer allowed in the D-Lab without supervision anymore."

(Alright, let's get the obvious out of the first… well there are many obvious changes so I'm gonna make this as fast as possible.

My name change: Cuz I wanted to.

Theme Song: Drew was doing it so I thought I would too lmao Except mine is just basically CSI's (the original 2000 one based in Las Vegas). Why? Because that theme song is such a goodass theme song especially with the musical instrumental intro. Sorry if the theme song don't make sense or has no purpose, but it's what I chose with lmao. Might change it when I reach the second act of the story… if I get there monkas.

Added scenes: You may have noticed a small scene with those two men in the bar at the end. Why is that there? Cuz I wanted to add like a cold ending where the ending is just some stupid shit that isn't relevent to the plot at all. (Except Chapter 4 with Jericho. That one remains) I have updated every chapter to have these funny endings so feel free to look back if you want.

And finally, the Dilophosaurus… I wanted to use the Jurassic Park Dilophosaurus cuz it's much cooler lmao

Alright that's it KOKBYE!)
