Tanks a Lot
(Maya's POV)
*It's been a few weeks since our trip to Egypt. Me, Max, & Zoe were playing with our Dinosaurs in Max's backyard. Max & Chomp were wrestling, Zoe was petting Paris, & I was cuddling with Lulu*
Max:*laughing* Stop! That tickles, Chomp! *Chomp started biting him on the butt* That's worse!
*I giggled at them*
Zoe: Hey, Max. I bet your Dad's landed in London by now. Maybe you should try calling him?
Max: Yeah. But I thought he said he wasn't gonna get there til dinner time.
Zoe: You're right. I guess I'm just super excited to hear if that if that thing in the picture is another stone or not.
Maya: Me too.
Max: I know. Well, hopefully when he gets to the museum, they'll be able to tell better. Cause it was kinda small in the corner of that picture.
Rex:*off-screen* Ace! Hold on! Get back here!
*Suddenly, Ace ran out of the house with Rex right behind him. Ace hid behind Max*
Maya: What's wrong, Rex?
Rex: Ace just totally ruined my brand new collectable Dinosaur book!
Max: What did he do?
Rex: He stomped all over it and got the pages all mucked up!
Zoe: I really don't see what the big deal is. Why can't you just whip em off?
Rex: No need to! He licked them off with his slobbery tongue!
*Max & Zoe looked a little grossed out. I stood up & went up to my brother, with Lulu in my arms*
Maya: I know that book was expensive, Rex. But Ace was just trying to help.
*Ace looked ashamed*
Aki:*off-screen* Anyone hungry? *Mrs. Taylor put some drinks on the dining room table**on-screen* Zoe, I see you had a little dog follow you home as well.
Zoe:*hiding Paris* Oh yeah. That's right
Aki: There sure are a lot of unusual looking dogs out roaming the streets these days. Enjoy your food. Should I bring your dogs a snack too?
Rex: Maybe for the other three, but not for Ace.
*I looked at Rex & then at Ace in worry. I had a feeling this wasn't going to end well*

(Third-Person POV)
*Meanwhile, on Zeta Point, Dr. Z was standing over a map of the world & shaking something in his hands*
Dr. Z: Every time! Once more! Shake a bone! Shake a bone stew! Ride your own Dinosaur two by two! *he opened his hands & a bunch of bones fell out. one of the pieces landed on England**laughing* No matter how many times I do it, it says London! See for yourselves! Take a look! See!? *laugh* What did I tell you? Bones don't lie!
Rod: Maybe you should try something more scientific?
Laura: Yeah, Grandpa. How come you're messing around with Dinosaur bones?
Rod: Let's leave him alone with his fortune telling. Come on, Laura.
*He & Laura started to leave*
Laura: Do you think he's okay? Zander said something like he's lost a marble. But I'm not really sure what that means.
Dr. Z: I haven't lost marbles, only Dinosaurs. But that doesn't matter so much anymore now that the bones can find them.
*In London, Ursula, Zander, Ed were walking through a very dark room. Zander was holding a flashlight & Ed was carrying a bunch of boxes & shopping bags*
Ursula: This is absurd. Here we are in London all because of a bone-headed bone game that Dr. Z likes to play. Ridiculous! And to be quite honest, I'm surprised at the three of you for buying into it.
Ed: But Ursula, all you've been doing the whole time is shopping anyway, and we're supposed to be here looking for Dinosaurs.
*Ursula hit him on the head*
Ursula: Oh, then it's my mistake. I thought we were here looking for designer stores.
Zander: Well, that's understandable. It could happen to anyone.
*Just then, he saw a Tyrannosaurus skeleton & fell backwards with a scared shout. He collided with Ursula & Ed, making Ed drop all the bags & boxes. We all landed on our backs*
Ursula: OW! What's the matter with you!? Have you forgotten who we are? The Alpha Hand strikes fear in others. We're not afraid of a bunch of bones!
Ed: Yeah, Zander. This is a museum, you know. What'd you think it was gonna have in it?
Zander: Well excuse me for not liking skeletons!
Ursula: There's more where that came from. So get used to it! What's this? *she picked up a stone she landed on & broke off a piece of it. she then stood up & broke off another piece. she then found a stone with a picture of purple mountains on it* I think I found it. This is the stone, right?
Ed: Way to go, Ursula!
*Suddenly, the lights came on & sirens were going off*
Ursula: Come on! Let's get out of here! *she started crying run away with Zander, & Ed following her, but she stopped them, mostly Ed* You don't seriously think I'm leaving here without all of my purchases do you? Go get them!
Ed: Wa!
*Suddenly, Security Guards came running in*
Ursula: What are they doing here!? Get rid of them!
Ed: You heard her, Zander. Get rid of them.
Zander: My brain's going to explode! I can't all this anxiety in one place!
*Ursula hid behind a skeleton while the guards chased Zander & Ed around the room*
Ursula: Look Officers! Over there! I think I see a donut shop!
*Just then, Zander's foot kicked back an egg capsule & it hit the wall, causing to open. A card fell out. Then some dirt from a potted plant fell on top of it & it turn in a purple Saichania with yellow spikes on it's back*
Zander: Did I do that?
*The Saichania started to run away. The Guards tried to go after it, but it swung it's tail at them. They all ducked as it went over their heads. They then ran away*
Ursula: I hate to say I told you so, but I knew that Dr. Z's bones would lead us right to that Dinosaur.
Zander: We never had a doubt.
*Just then, Dr. Taylor & the Museum Curator came into the room*
Dr. Spike Taylor: Oh boy. Look at that. A real live Saichania!
*Suddenly, the Saichania made a hole in a wall & went through it*
Ursula: Come on, let's go! That Dinosaur's not gonna catch it'self now, is it? *Zander & Ed went after her, but she stopped Ed again* Ed! I'm not going to tell you again! My purchases need to come with me! *he picked up the boxes & bags & they all went into the hole* Thank you!
Dr. Spike Taylor: Well, I imagine it's not every day you find a Saichania running around in your museum, eh Brady?
(Maya's POV)
Max: Sorry your book got all messed up, Rex.
Rex: I told him to calm down and stop jumping around!
Zoe: Well, it seems like he's really sorry.
Maya: Yeah, Rex. I think you should forgive him.
*Suddenly, our Dino Holders started beeping*
Zoe: The Dino Holder's beeping!
*We all took out our Holders*
Rex: Hey, maybe a new card has been found.
Max: I wonder where.
Maya: It looks like London, England.
Max: Hey, that's where my Dad is right now!
*He started heading towards the door*
Zoe: Wait, Max! We're coming too!
*I started to go after her, but stopped & looked at my brother*
Maya: Rex? Are you coming?
He looked at Ace, but he ran away*
Rex: Hold on a minute, Ace!
*We all headed towards the D-Lab*
Max: Reese!
Rex: Hey, Reese!
Zoe: Where are you!?
Maya: Are you here!?
*We found her in front of the computer*
Max: Hey, she's here.
Reese: I was expecting you. *we all headed towards the transporter* Ready to transport? You're going to London.
*We all stood on the platform, but Ace was being really fussy*
Rex: Stop it, Ace. Quite fooling around.
Max: Let's go!
*We all pressed a button on our Dino Holders & a rainbow light surrounded us. The next thing I knew, we were in the Dinosaur room of a museum. Dr. Taylor was already there*
Dr. Spike Taylor: I'm so glad you're here.
Max: So did you another Dinosaur Card, Dad?
Dr. Spike Taylor: We found much more than that. A full sized Saichania is hiding in this museum.
Max: You're kidding. A Saichania.
*Ace was still trying to get away from my brother*
Rex: Knock it off, Ace! What's the matter with you!? *Ace ran away* I'll help you look after I get Ace back!
*He ran after Ace*
Dr. Spike Taylor: Unfortunately, the Alpha Gang is already here. So let's hurry and find it before they do
Zoe: Is that old lady here too?
(Third-Person POV)
Ursula: Do you ever got the feeling that someone is talking about you?
(Maya's POV)
Max: Let's go, Chomp! *he & Chomp started running down a different path. Zoe & Paris went down a different way & I went after my brother* Dad. Maybe you can think of a way to lure it out somehow.
*I found my brother chasing Ace down one of the hallways. Suddenly, me, Lulu, & Rex crashed into Ed & Zander from the Alpha Gang. Boxes & bags were spilled everywhere*
Rex: What are you guys doing here!?
Maya: And why are you following us!?
Zander: That's what I was going to ask you two!
Ed: Of you're here looking for that Saichania, you can forget it!
*Rex & I stood up*
Rex: Believe it or not, I have a bigger mess take care of right now than you!
Maya: As for the Saichania, we'll settle that later!
*I ran after Rex with Lulu right behind me*
(Third-Person POV)
Zander: Oh, I doubt that! There is no bigger mess than us!
Ed: I don't know, Zander. I'm not so sure you meant to say that.
Zander: I say I what I mean and I mean what I say! *suddenly, the Saichania came crashing through a wall & ran down a different hallway* Well, I stand corrected. This is a bigger mess.
*Ursula was in the Egyptian exhibit of the museum*
Ursula: Saichania. Where are you? Come on our my little tank Dinosaur. *just then she noticed the Egyptian jewelry on display* What do we have here? Oh, this jewelry is absolutely gorgeous. I never seen anything quite so stunning, unless of course it was something hanging around my neck and dripping off my ears.
*Just then, she heard a voice*
Rex:*off-screen* Ace! Hold on, pal!
Maya:*off-screen* Wait for me, Rex!
Ursula: Did I just hear those brats again?
*She went to look for a place to hide*
Rex:*off-screen* Ace!
*She hid inside one of the sarcophagus'. But cringed at the mummy inside*
(Maya's POV)
Rex: Stop Ace! I'm not mad! I just wanna talk to you! *Ace hid behind a giant urn* Please, Ace.
*Suddenly, the room turned purple. Then I heard a sound like a low horn*
Rex: Hey, what's that sound?
Maya: I think it must be Paris.
*Just then, Ace & Lulu looked ready to attack something*
Rex: Ace, what? Are you alright?
Maya: Is something wrong, Lulu?
*Suddenly, they jumped at us & knocked us out of the way as a Tyrannosaurus foot came down on the spot we were just standing in. They then ran towards Terry*
Rex: Watch out!
Maya: Lulu, be careful!
Rex: That was close. They just saved our lives. *just then, a sarcophagus opened & Ursula came out, covered in bandages* No way! It's a creepy old mummy!
Ursula: Did you just say old mummy! I'm not old! I may be creepy, but I'm not old! *she took off the bandages* Oh, never mind. It was fun while it lasted. But now I have more important things to do. Such as catching your Carnotaurus and Lambeosaurus.
*Rex & I took out our Dino Holders & turned Ace & Lulu into cards*
Rex: Dino Slash! Carnotaurus, blow them away!
Maya: Dino Slash! It's time to shine, Lambeosaurus!
*Ace & Lulu grew to their big size. Ursula started laughing*
Ursula: You really think your Carnotaurus and Lambeosaurus can beat our big bad T-Rex?
*Due to their small size, Ace & Lulu were running circles around Terry. Just then, he hit them with his tail & they were sent flying into the wall*
Maya: Lulu!
Rex: Ace, watch out!
*Suddenly, Dr. Taylor came running in, holding a giant basket for vegetables*
Dr. Spike Taylor: So we meet again, T-Rex.
Ursula: Are you kidding? My Tyrannosaurus doesn't want your little fruit basket. I hate to tell you, but he's a carnivore.
Dr. Spike Taylor: Then I guess it's a good thing I brought it for the Saichania, isn't it. Nothing like a little hippo food to draw him out.
Ursula: Oh, please! Do you really think you can trick my little Tank by using hippo food? Yes, that's right. I already named him Tank and he's already mine. Uh . . . What were we talking about again?
(Third-Person POV)
*Paris was battling against Spiny*
Ed: Zander, what are you waiting for!? Use the move card!
Zander: Got it! Use Shock Wave, Spiny! Go!
*A circle of water surrounded Spiny. He then sent a stream of water at Paris & it surrounded her*
Zoe: Hang on, Paris!
*Ed & Zander laughed. Just then, Max & Chomp came running towards them*
Max: Zoe!
*They stopped laughing*
Zoe: Oh good! I could really use your help right now, Max!
Max: That's why we're here! Chomp helped me to find you! *he turned Chomp into a card* Dino Slash! Go, Triceratops!
*Chomp grew to his big size & charged at Spiny. He then threw him backwards with his horns*
Ed & Zander: Get up! Get up! Get up!
Max: Electric Charge!
*Chomp hit Spiny with the move & sent him flying again*
Ed & Zander: Get up! Get up! Get up!
*Spiny turned back into a card. Zander picked it up*
Zander: That's it?
Max: Alright, Chomp!
*Ed & Zander ran away*
Zander: Thanks for the battle! It's been real!
Ed: But not real fun!
*Max & Zoe turned Chomp & Paris back into cards*
Max: Hey Zoe, are you and Paris okay?
Zoe: Yeah. But look, there just be another battle going on somewhere.
Max: You're right. It could be Rex, Maya, or my Dad. Come on!
(Maya's POV)
*Rex & I took out a move card*
Rex: Cyclone!
Maya: Thorn Whip!
*Ace & Lulu hit Terry with our moves, but they didn't do much damage*
Ursula: Those were a pretty good moves, but it's times like this where I like to pull out a few good moves of my own! Terry, fire!
*Terry started to glow red & flames came out of his mouth. He then hit both Ace & Lulu & they turned back into cards*
Rex: Oh no, Ace!
Maya: Lulu!
*Ursula ran towards the cards*
Ursula: I did it! I did it! I did it!
Dr. Spike Taylor: Not quite!
*Dr. Taylor pulled out his frog whip & aimed it at our cards. He hit them & they were sent flying back towards us before she could grab them*
Ursula: Hey!
*Rex & I caught the cards*
Rex: I got it!
Maya: Me too!
Dr. Spike Taylor: Good job. Now you two go on and look at Max and Zoe. I'll take care of this.
Rex: But you don't have a Dinosaur to battle with!
Ursula:*laugh* You should listen to the brat. You do seem to be a little out-numbered this time, don't you think? *Terry was coming towards us. Rex stood in front of me. suddenly, we all felt rumbling. We looked to the right & saw the Saichania coming towards Terry* What!?
*It knocked Terry out of the way & went towards the basket of vegetables*
Dr. Spike Taylor: Not that's what I call timing. Enjoy your snack, Saichania.
Ursula: Terry, take care of him!
*Terry charged at the Saichania & knocked it away with his tail. It then turned back into a card*
Dr. Spike Taylor: I'll take that card, thank you!
*He tried to grab it with his frog whip, but Terry caught it*
Ursula: Not this time, cowboy! I don't fall for the same trick twice, so you can take your lasso and square-dance on home!
*Just then, Ed & Zander appeared*
Ed: Ursula! Spiny got beaten!
*Then Max & Zoe appeared*
Max: Dad!
Ursula: That's alright, Ed. I don't need Spiny right now. While you and Zander were a losing your battle, Terry not only captured Tank, but I have the stone tablet as well! *she laughed* Terry, get rid of them!
*Terry was looking exhausted*
Ed: It looks like Terry loosing energy. You better use a move card, quick!
*We heard beeping coming from her Alpha Scanner*
Ursula: I don't have another one. I wasted it on that silly Carnotaurus and Lambeosaurus. So, I guess I have no option now but to call him back.
Zander: Oh, that's okay. I think that Dr. Z wants us to come back to headquarters anyway.
*Ursula turned Terry back into a card*
Ursula: Well, now seems like as good a time as any. See ya!
*They ran away*
Max: I don't believe it. They got the Saichania!
*Rex swiped Ace's card & he came out in his small size*
Rex: Ace, thank you. *Ace ran away & hid behind me* Hey, where you going? I don't get what's going on with him anymore.
Zoe: I think I might know. I learned something from Paris today that might explain their feelings.
Rex: Like what?
Zoe: What they really want is to make us happy.
Maya: I see. When you scolded him today, he tried to fix his mistake so you wouldn't be mad at him anymore.
Rex: I told him he just made it worse. *he was quiet for a minute. then he hugged Ace* Oh, Ace. I'm so sorry, pal. I never should have yelled at you like that. Friendship's more important than any dumb old book.
Max: Do you think we should head back home now?
Dr. Spike Taylor: Yeah. But I really wanted that Saichania.
Max: I just want to know who those guys are and why they're out here gathering up Dinosaurs.
Maya:*in her mind* I also want to know why I feel like I've seen them before.
*After we left the museum, we went on a small tour of London. I did a sketch of Big Ben*
(Third-Person POV)
*The Alpha Gang made it back to Zeta Point & gave the card to Dr. Z*
Dr. Z:*laughing* Good job, team! *he put the card in a machine* He was a bit docile, so I modified his personality into a more aggressive one using the Alpha Controller.
*He swiped the card & Tank appeared in his mini size*
Ed: I don't know. He still looks pretty tame to me.
*Suddenly, Tank jumped & attacked them*
Zander: Maybe you should dial it back!
Ursula: Or just turn it off!
*Tank was now coming after them with Dr. Z on his back*
Dr. Z: Ouch! Stop!
