The D-team, which was Max Zoe and Zennith where teleporting into another alert, they found themselves deep underground in a cave seeing a glowing Tree dripping water, They blinked as they saw an Agustinia moving close to a statue of salt, Only for Chomp to come out and lighting strike it into the river forming for the tree drippings. Ben was Lodestar using magnetic force field to protect the statue. Ben pointed saying, "Don't let the salt king get wet he will come to life and try to claim the Tree again!" They summoned dinosaurs as adults.

Max held a move card using sky dive to drop the wild away, "And protect this tree, You are looking at where all the water on the planet comes from!" The three gasped summoning their dinosaurs. Zoe used, "Green impulse!" the move card summoned to flyers to strike at the surapod. The dinosaur was knocked back, but it roared summoning the first quote unquote bird to sprinkle light and heal it, as Ace used, "sonic blast!" to spit a tornado at it, the water sucked up making hurricane winds pick up and slammed it into a wall.

Up Next was Zennith using, "Lighting strike!" In the water as the surapods fell in shocking it to card. She ran out grabbing it, "Now What's this salt king and tree thing?"

Hadi then showed up hands together, "Allow me to explain I am Hadi Zak's girlfriend and future leader of my people, our job is to protect metheelah tree. The tree uses darkness to produce water, like the trees above use light to produce Air. The tree produces water that feeds the oceans." She pointed to the statue, "That statue is the reason the oceans are tainted with salt so we can not drink it." They blinked, "he was once a king that came to try and control the tree and with it all water and everything, The tree protected itself by turning him to salt, his greed and evil literally contaminated the oceans with salt." Zoe stuck her tongue out as that was kind of gross. "Eterno is harmless as long as he isn't rehydrated. If hydrated he animates as a golem with the touch with one hand that turns things into salt. He animated once in my life time. The giant centipedes were enraged is an understatement." She said hands together, " hence why Ben's might went to protecting Eterno form once more reanimating instead of fighting the threat the dinosaur that some how came close."

Rex got down looking at the mother River, "So...If this feeds the oceans we are...what the center of the earth? it's a bit more roomy then I pictured, Does this mean hollow earth is right?" Hadi shock her hand and said, "In Some places. It's like one fourth true as there are enough to say it's one fourth hollow, but half of them aren't natural you understand, people had to hide shit deep deep underground to protect them. "

Zennith held her chin, "Does this mean every water world has a mother tree?" she nodded holding her chin, "I am going to bring this up to my dad. Wait does this mean Mars that once had water had their tree chopped down?" Hadi shrugged How would she know she never been to Mars or another planet to know.

Zoe smiled at the tree smirking, "So science doesn't know a thing then! water cycle my butt, we got a reverse tree producing water for the world." She pointed to Eterno, "You know how many people you killed by tainting this wonder you ass!" She pointed shaking her finger at the statue but when it looked like it moved she jumped behind Max screaming, " DON'T LET IT TURN ME INTO SALT!"

Jessica popped out the mother River in mermaid form saying, "That wasn't The statue Zoe, the Alpha Gang got a move card that turns Tank into a digging machine and they are digging their way in after the card! Ben becomes rocks, you control rocks and quakes." Ben hit dial turning to Rocks opening the rock as he charged off, "You handle the alpha gang, Dinosaurs keep the Statue still from the shaking we can't let it land in the water and animate." Hadi had a whistle and blow it summoning massive centipedes which defied logic at size to wrap themselves around the tree as a living cocoon of protection.

the dinosaurs got to work as Hadi showed the whistle, "This is not magic it's a whistle, Zak showed up and used his powers of Kur to explain to them my people doing same thing they are so we should do it together, The whistle is a call." She smiled holding it, "And a gift, Not much but it came before our first date, so memories." Zoe nodded holding out her necklace Hadi smiled at that and they got to talking about boyfriends right now, really?

Jessica remained in the river her control of water would hold it calm despite the shaking as two things moved the earth around them, "Got to keep it still keep it clam no splash, one splash and salt monster will turn us to salt."

With Ben the Alpha gang who only had tank had a problem it's name as Ben as Rocks , using stone control to shake rattle and roll Tank onto her belly as he jumped down and smacked the dinosaur in the stomach, note tank was digging the tunnel was big enough for her, not Terry or Spiny. Ben punched the Dinosaur's underbelly, "punch punch punch the Dinosaur! punch punch punching a dinosaur, Oh what a wonderful day, to punch a dinosaur. I can't believe I am an alien punching a dinosaur!" he said still punching, "How many punches can this dinosaur take?" It turned into card And Ursula held up a bomb, "Really bomb for me to trade the card back, You realize that will gave in you guys as well? And you have no idea the mystical shit below us? you gave this in and water go bye bye, or we have salt monster on the lose! Take it from me, I know freaky shit. " he pointed at himself, "Look at me, This is a trust worthy face for, Oh things are weird here! Come on listen to reason and put the bomb away Ursula. Put it away, don't explode it, Don't explode it! IF you make me fight salt monster and have to unsalt someone with clockwork next time we meet I won't be coming in peace. I swear it! You hit that button and I am bring the doomsday to you next time we meet. Don't do it!" he pointed using daddy tone, "Don't you fucking Doing it!" The alpha gang ran turning it on and throwing it to Ben.

Ben couldn't hit the off button with his big stone hands, and with panic he forgot to hit dial so he said one thing, "BANG IN THE HOLE!" As it exploded caving them in the tunnel Ben was fine, he was made of rocks and could open it again. The problem was the got dam shock wave. Down below the Shock wave knocked Zoe down, Max raced to grab her hand but she fell into the river into Jessica taken away by the current as Jessica being hit broke her focus letting the river react to the shock wave and splash, luckily Tree safe and Dinosaurs got wet so salt man won't.

Max ran off down the river jumping on Chomp, Pairs fooling, as did Zennith and Ace, also riding their dinosaurs. A rock door opened as Ben timed out and walked out,"They are despicable, I see prints know what happened bye Hadi say hi to Zak for me, I got to chase my mermaid down!" he said leaving, "Glad we kept the tree safe! to produce our water, bye Tree!" The tree now uncovered by the hugs seemed to wave at Ben.

Down the river way Jessica held Zoe swimming to keep her head above the water so Zoe could breath. the river was going to eject them out to Sea, where the salt and heat of the core waited, the water would be boiling and it would be thousands of feet form air, Zoe won't survive, and her focus on staying above the water meant she couldn't use her powers to knock them out, plus she was in panick, she was worried she would move all the water to beach them, not just this area risking eterno animating and having monster trouble. She knows one choice and turned Zoe around and said, "Sorry but This mermaid shit works like vampires and werewolves too" Zoe blinked as Jessica bit her neck. Zoe screamed as they went under. After a shock wave Zoe looked down gasping down below, mermaid tail, Red Zoe gasped, she was even in shell top, but that seemed to be part of her. her bracer remained. She gasped as they where in an open ocean thermal vent not burning.

Jessica said one thing, "Relax mermaids can handle all temperatures just fine and dandy, Look you are fine Text Max and Ben we are safe I had to mermaid you! Follow the bracer signal to us, because we have a long swim up ahead of us, perfect for me to teach you how to use your powers. Are you ready little mermaid?" Zoe blinked noticing her hair was as red as her tail, She was a ginger natural, but she lightened her hair form coral red to coral pink. She wondered if the magic knocked her dye out, her hair was also down. She shrugged swimming along or trying too, she didn't know how to use this tail. She also checked for her locket still there, she smiled as they finally headed up.

Zoe though about teleporting back, but was worried she would pull some ocean and flood the D-lab or she couldn't as a mermaid, So She just had to spend the next three hours with Jessica helping her basic fish lady to swim up.

three hours later our heroes where on a boat in the pacific ocean, Max saying one thing, "and where we are!" it was a yacht, "On my brother's yacht waiting for mermaids." the Dinosaurs where Chibi, well pairs wasn't she was on something they where towing. Ben said one thing, "What? their was a raffle at the base, Max won thousands, he used them for Zoe's locket, I won a house boat as it has kitchen bed and bathroom even shower."

their was gasps as Jessica said, " Thank you for bring the Yacht I hate having to use a strange shower to wash the eterno off me." She said using water shape control to make water orbs to hover her and Zoe out, both mermaids falling through into their boyfriend's labs. Ben smiled holding her tail, "Come on lets go wash the salt off you then help you try off to leg."

Zoe was red as Max picked her up, "Relax Zoe my big brother taught me how to love a mermaid." he rubbed his nose on her, "After Ben washes the eterno of of Jessica I will help you wash it off. we have to, salt makes your tails produce water, so you can't dry off till you wash the salt off." Zoe blinked, "what the salt isn't naturally part of the oceans it screws with everything down there. After all it's technically one guys funk!"

Rex sighed and said, "So you are saying people using it as toilet isn't anything new then, we have been doing it as long as their has been salt in the ocean." Zenith smacked him and said, "Don't put it like that! rephrase your point."

Later on at the Drake house Zoe was currently falling to the floor on her ass , as she dropped a water glass on herself and turned to mermaid, Reese's eyes bugged and jaw dropped her dad spat water. Zoe shrugged, "What this is werewolf rules and it was either Drown in the river that feeds the oceans or let my boyfriend's big brother's girlfriend bite me. I choice the werefish. " She laid there, "My legs will come back when I dry off, so can someone hand me a paper towel roll or something...please...also salt isn't naturally part of the ocean it's pollution made by this one dude who got turned into a salty statue by a magic water making tree deep underground as he wanted to control the tree... What it's what I learned to day."

Elsewhere In Zeta point Seth's alpha drones he sent to Animo's lab where working remotely for him, he had found the two DNA samples of dinosaur and alien Animo had waiting and was running it through the card process, he though in a week he should have two Xenosaurus ready for combat and testing against the kids. he smirked Xenosaurus where unnatural powerful , gross sick and wrong, he loved them.
