Metal Imbalance
At the table was filled with dinosaur cards that D-Team and Terran collected.
"Hey Rex! Come here and check this out!" Max said, "Can you believe how many cards we have? Forty-one!"
When he turns to see Rex, the room was empty and in decrepit state.
"Hello?"
The room was broken and rundown as if the D-Lab was in ruins.
"Rex? Zoe? Terran?"
Max then noticed the dinos and unexpectedly, Terry is among them.
"Terry? What are you doing here?" He noticed Spiny and Tank is with them as well. "And Tank? And Spiny? So all you guys are be buddies now, huh? Then I'll be a friend too."
Before he joins them, the dinos suddenly are drifting away from him.
"Hey, where are you going? Wait for me?" He ran up to catch them but they are getting further away. "I can't keep up! Slow down, you guys. Wait!"
They disappeared in the distance and Max found himself in the age of dinosaur.
"How awesome!" He yelled in glee while the dinosaur is grazing.
Suddenly, Max is hearing the voices; the same voices he heard from the day he and his friends found the element stones.
"Save us! Save us! Save us! Save us!"
"Save us! Save us! Save us! Save us!"
Max looks around. "Wait…!"
He is soon surrounded by dinosaurs; Paris, Saurolophus, Spiny, Ace, Megaraptor, Chomp, Maiasauria, Seismosaurus, Terry, Suchomimus, Wisp, Tank, Deinosuchus, Ankylosaurus, and Torosaurus.
"Please! You're our only hope. Will you please save us?" The dinosaurs said.
As Max tries to understand what they're saying, a bright light has befallen on them. A several asteroids is plummeting down from the sky. While Max watches the asteroids falling, he heard a roar and to his horror, Ace, Chomp, Terry, Wisp, and Paris was covered in fire as the other dinosaurs is burning from the falling meteorites.
Chomp roared in agony as the other dinosaurs are. "Oh no! Chomp! Ace! Paris! Wisp! Chomp, don't go!" He cried as he was being pulled away from a horrified extinction of his prehistoric friends. "No, Chomp!" Max cried, tearfully as he falls in the darkness.
(THEME SONG)
Dinosaur King is what you wanna be, yeah
(Make your move! C'mon an' make your move!)
Dinosaur King is your destiny, yeah
(Make your move! C'mon an' make your move!)
Control your cards right in your hands
Jurassic giants at your command!
D-D-D-D-Team!
Watch out
Here we go
Prehistoric dinosaurs
Aren't ex-tinct anymore
See 'em fight, hear 'em roar
Watch out 'cuz they're right next door!
The past is in the present
Time's been twisted upside-down
These fossils are colossal
Only one can wear the crown!
Dinosaur King is what you want to be, yeah
(Make your move! C'mon an' make your move!)
Dinosaur King is your destiny, yeah
(Make your move! C'mon an' make! Your! Move!)
(Loud Dinosaur Roar)
Chomp roared in agony while covered in flames as Wisp, Ace, and Paris did.
"Oh no! Chomp! Ace! Paris! Wisp! Chomp, don't go!" He cried as he was being pulled away from a horrified extinction event of his prehistoric friends. "No, Chomp!" Max cried, tearfully as he falls in the darkness.
"Max Taylor! Hello? Would you like to join us?" Michelle said, waking Max up.
"Chomp?" He groaned before realizing he was dreaming.
"Chomp. Is that your answer to my question I wonder? Or were you asleep and dreaming of chomping on burgers? This is class time, not sleepy time!"
His classmates snickering, including Rex, as Zoe was irked by Max's habit.
At Zeta Point, Dr. Z was in the room, looking at the large Alpha Metal boulder.
"So, you finally managed to bring me some more Alpha Metal ore." He said while the Alpha Gang was a bit crippled from their mission.
"Yes, and I hope you realize how hard we had to work to get it." She said.
(Flashback)
The Alpha Gang was in South Pole to mine the Alpha Metal.
"First of all, we traveled to the South Pole, which by the way is not the warm place."
Ed yelled in the megaphone while the Alpha Droids is carrying the rocks out as Zander and Ursula shivered in cold climate as they found the Alpha Metal.
"Why didn't you tell me it was so cold? I would have packed mittens!"
Ed lowers the claw from the Alpha Jet and grabbed it before taking it up. As they flew away, it was short-lived when the Jet crashes down.
"We found the rock, loaded it up, and discovered that Ed never filled up the gas tank."
"I barely had money for a sandwich." Ed said.
Since the jet is down, The Alpha Gang and droids moved the Alpha Metal back to the Zeta Point on foot across the South Pole and they stopped to camp whenever it's nighttime.
"For days, we slogged through the frozen tundra." Zander said.
"Sleeping on the icy ground, it was awful." Ursula whined.
(Flashback Ends)
"Turn off those waterworks." Dr. Z said.
"Huh? I still can't feel my toes!" She complained.
"And the sandwich wasn't even good." Ed added.
"Look at how much Alpha Metal we brought you." Zander said.
"Yeah, it's a big rock all right, but like your brains, it's much smaller than it looks like from the outside." Dr. Z said. "Once we condense it down, it won't be half of what we need."
"What? Are you kidding?" Ursula said, dropping the stick as Tank, in her full-size, walks in the room.
"We need enough Alpha Metal to coat the entire reactor core or the generator won't work. Let's find out how much your lousy rock has in it. Tank, use your tail and shatter this thing."
Tank bellowed and swings her club tail, breaking the rock in half, but the half of the rock is falling towards Dr. Z.
"Woah! Uh-oh!" He gulped.
The Alpha Gang gasped. "Dr. Z!" Ursula cried.
The old man hold the rock, but straining.
"This is nothing! I used to be an aerobics instructor!" He strained as he moves the rock until he broke his back. "There goes my back!"
They gasped in shock.
"I'll save you, Dr. Z!" Ed slammed the button, making them lower to the room below them.
"Oh, that hurt." He groaned.
"Are you all right?" They said as Ursula catch him from falling on the floor.
"What can I help you, doctor?" She asked.
"Well, for starters. Get off of my beard!" He snapped while straining.
At school, the class is almost over.
"All right kids, that's it for today." Michelle announced. "Now don't forget about our field trip tomorrow. Everyone needs to bring a sack lunch with then and no homework for tonight!"
The students hollered a bit and Michelle walks out but accidently bumped into a door.
"See you guys next fall." She chuckled, sheepishly and left the classroom, much to their disbelief.
The D-Team walked home as Max told his friends about the dreams he had.
"So you dreamt the dinosaurs were asking you to save them?" Rex said.
"Yeah, just like they did before." Max said, remembered back when they found the stone.
"We are protecting them from the Alpha Gang." Zoe said.
"Yeah, I know that. But is turning 'em into cards and keeping them really the same thing as saving them?" Max wondered.
"Well, I suppose you have a point there."
"I wonder if what they really mean is saving the dinosaurs from extinction?" Rex guessed.
"As if we could change what happened millions of years ago! Come on, Rex." Zoe exclaimed.
Max looked at their dinos "I sure wish you three could talk."
Chomp looked and gave him a confused look.
On top the D-Lab, Terran had a deep thinking since their last trip to Australia and hadn't said anything to the kids. Especially that he got the Velociraptor card. The android couldn't help but thinking about Seth. He feels that he met that man before and then there was these visions he had.
He then pulled out the Secret Dinosaurs from his card holder and looked at them.
'I wonder if I see him again, maybe he'll give me an answer I need.' He thought before putting the cards away.
At Zeta Point, Dr. Z was in his sleepwear on bed with ice bag on his back.
"You should really start off with small rocks before you lift the big ones." Zander advised.
"Good idea! Like the ones in your heads!" Dr. Z snapped. "What's happening with my Alpha Metal?"
"Almost done." Ursula said. "Seth have been refining it down to its core."
"Okay, we're done refining." Ed said, came in with the Alpha Metal ball. "So combining with what we got last time, here's how much Alpha Metal we have now."
"That's all there was in that giant rock?" Ursula said, looking at it.
"That should be plenty, right Dr. Z?" Zander said.
"Of course not. Even if it was enough, it isn't ready to use in the reactor." Dr. Z explained. "there are too many impurities. We need to distill it down to one hundred percent pure Alpha Metal."
"Let's do it then." She said.
"If it was that easy, I'd have done it already. To refine the Alpha Metal, we need to convert Dinomond into Terra energy by using our reactor. But we can't use our reactor because we don't have refined Alpha Metal and we can't get the Alpha Metal refined because we don't have a working reactor."
"Eh… did you get that?" Ursula asked, doesn't understand it.
"No. not a word." Zander said.
"I will not tolerate this. Why are you three so inept? What good is having underlings if they can't get me what I want? And now I can't even give all the thrashing you deserve, because I've got to thrown down my back."
Dr. Z threw his back again.
"What can we do, Dr. Z?" Ursula asked.
"You can go track down a source of Terra energy and bring back this Alpha Metal 100% pure."
"Yes sir." They said.
At the ironworks factory where the D-Team are taking the field trip with class.
"I love field trips. Isn't this exciting?" Michelle lectured as the molten iron was poured on the surface. "It's not everyday you get to see your real iron works in action. The temperature of that white hot molten metal down there can reach more than two thousand degrees."
"Like hot lava, huh." Zoe said.
"So it must have been just like that when the earth was first formed, right?" Rex said.
"Yeah, and I'll bet it was probably like this when the dinosaurs went extinct." Max said.
"Huh?" They said.
Max grimaced as he remembers the dream he had and their dinosaurs was burning from the falling meteorites.
At Zeta Point, Dr. Z was still suffering from his back pain.
"Ow, it hurts!" He cried.
"Since you're in pain, I made your favorite meal: Leg of mystery meat." Helga said, serving his meal.
"Sometimes you're almost human, Helga."
He took a bite from the meat, but feeling a little strain on his back.
"Is there a problem?" She asked.
"What's the mystery part? Old shoe leather?"
"If the meal is not up to your standards, doctor, then you don't have to eat it." She walks away.
"But I'm hungry." He said before the lights is flickering. "What was that? Is Zander using his hair dryer on ten again?"
"That's Seth. He's in your laboratory doing experiments using lots of electricity."
"Electricity?"
In the lab, the trio of Velociraptor was in the machine, snarling in agony as Seth is experimenting them until Dr. Z calls him.
"Seth, what are you up to in there? I didn't give you any assignment!"
"I wanted to run some tests on this new card I found." He said.
Dr. Z then noticed the Velociraptors.
"What card? That's a Velociraptor! Where in places did you get that dinosaur?"
"I stumbled upon it while I was in Australia."
"You found that dinosaur card and didn't report it to me?" Dr. Z exclaimed. "And just what kind of experiment are you doing?"
Seth notice the Velociraptors is glowing and turned into a card, but the card is a triangle shape.
"Huh? A card? But why a triangle shape?"
Back with the classes, Michelle's classes left the factory.
"Now, the part of the field trip we've all been waiting for." Michelle said, "I hope you packed something tasty for lunch like the mayonnaise and banana sandwich I brought. Hey! Where'd it go? Don't tell me! I think some criminal must have stolen my lunch!"
"If they did, they're gonna be sorry when they bite it." Max remarked.
"I think she just forgot." Zoe said.
Rex then noticed something. "Hey! What is that?"
They looked to where Rex is looking and saw the Alpha Gang's jet above the factory.
"What about this spot?" Ed asked.
"An iron refinery? That's fine." Ursula said, "Zander, go ahead and drop in the Alpha Droids to take over the place."
"Roger that." Zander said.
They deployed the Alpha droids to the ground.
"Invade! Invade! Invade!"
"Little robot janitors!" Michelle gasped while having no idea what was going on.
"Oh no!" Max gasped.
"Michelle, we need to get outta here!" Rex said.
"Leave? Why?" She asked as the Alpha Droids is invading the iron refinery while scaring the workers away.
"Invade and conquer! Invade and conquer! Invade and conquer!"
"All right. Field trips' over, kids. But don't panic, we'll be fine."
"Okay!" the students said.
"Let's get out of here." She ran to the bus as her students did.
The Alpha Gang landed the jet in the iron refinery as the kids watched.
"Wonder what the Alpha Gang is up to this time." Max said.
"Let's see." Rex said before they headed to the refinery.
They were up the platform level to look for the Alpha Gang.
"So where do you think those Alpha Gang guys went?" Max said, looking around.
"I'll bet they're headed for the furnace." Zoe said, pointing in the direction.
The boys follow her and saw the Alpha Gang from behind the machinery.
"Aha!" Max said, quietly.
"I wonder what they're doing here!" Rex wondered.
"And what are we supposed to do with this thing now? Throw it in the furnace?" Ursula said, holding the Alpha Metal.
"You're the leader. You tell us." Zander said.
"Yeah, you're supposed to know." Ed added.
"And as your leader, I'm asking you to figure this out." She chided. "I have more important issues to solve."
"What are they arguing about?" Zoe asked.
"I don't know, but it must have something to do with the metal ball the old lady is holding in her hands." Max said.
"Hmm!" Ursula heard someone called her as the kids quickly hid. "I heard that! Who's over there?"
She dashed over the machinery and saw nobody behind it.
"Hmm. That's strange."
"Well, what's the matter?" Zander asked, coming over to her side.
"Yeah." Ed said.
"I could have sworn I heard someone call me old lady."
"I didn't hear anything."
"When it comes to insults, my hearing is 20/20." She said.
As she investigate closer, Chomp appears, surprising and bit her nose.
"Let go of my nose, you little monster!" She yelled while getting Chomp off of her and dropped the Alpha Metal which was picked up by Max.
"Lose something?" He smirked.
"The brat has the Alpha Metal." Zander exclaimed.
"Come on, Chomp!"
Chomp hops away and ran towards Max.
"Huh? Don't let them get away!" Ursula said, holding her nose.
"Tell the Alpha Droids!" Ed said.
"Catch those brats and get the Alpha Metal!" Zander commanded.
The droids' eyes flashed and begins chasing after them. "Catch brats! Catch brats! Catch brats!"
"Come on Max, we gotta go. Now!" Zoe urged.
"Coming!" He said as they ran off with the Alpha Metal.
With Michelle's class, she noticed that her class is three short students left.
"What!? Zoe, Rex, and Max didn't make it back to the bus?" She said before fuming. "All of you stay here. I'll be back as soon as I find them."
Before they say something, Michelle immediately heads to the refinery to look for them.
'Those poor kids. Probably huddled somewhere in terror, waiting for me to come and save them.'
At D-Lab, Terran was in sleep mode until his gauntlet control is beeping, waking him up and answering it.
"Terran, are you there?" He heard Max.
"Max, what is it?" He asked. "I thought you kids got back from your field trip."
"Terran, we have a problem. The Alpha Gang is taking over the iron refinery." Rex said.
"Those robots are chasing us and we need you right now." Zoe said.
"Alpha Gang? What are they doing over there?"
"We don't know, but it something to do with this Alpha Metal." Max said, showing it to him.
"Alpha Metal? Do you have any idea what it does?" He asked.
The kids said nothing and have no idea what it does.
"Look, whatever it does, just leave it. I'll be there to come help you." Terran signs off.
The android walks out of lab and converts to flight mode and flies over to the iron refinery to help the kids.
At Zeta Point, Dr. Z inspects the Velociraptor card that Seth created.
"What kind of card is this?" He asked.
"It's a new kind of card I've created which combines multiple moves." Seth said.
"One card can have more than one move?"
"Yes, I was able to perfect it, based on all your previous research on the subject, doctor."
"So what you're saying is that this new multiple move card is actually the result of my research?"
"I suppose that's one way you could put it, sir."
"Well now, you shouldn't have done it without my permission, but good work nonetheless."
Dr. Z then received a call from Ed.
"Doctor."
"I hope you're calling to tell me you refined the Alpha Metal." Dr. Z said.
"Well, we were just about to…"
Dr. Z fumed at his incompetence.
"Augh! You numbskull!" He snapped. "You better not tell me you let anything happen to that Alpha Metal!"
"All right. Then I won't." Ed winced.
"I'm guessing that those little runts showed up and you let them take the Alpha Metal from you!" He guessed.
"How did you know?"
"I just say the worst thing I can think of and I'm always right!" Dr. Z said before his back is straining him.
"Don't worry, Dr. Z. We'll get the Alpha Metal back no matter what it takes." Ed assured.
"Yeah, you'd better or I'll feed the three of you boneheads to Terry."
"Okay, thank you." Ed signs off.
"Dumb as a stump."
"Doctor. Perhaps I should go to this iron works place and supervise the refining of the Alpha Metal." Seth suggested.
"Huh? Would you do that?" Dr. Z said.
"Yes, I'll head out there immediately."
Later, Ed went to Ursula from what Dr. Z told him.
"So, what did he say when you told him?" She asked.
"Well, he wasn't very happy." Ed said as the vat of molten iron pours.
"Gee, now there's a surprise. I thought he'd give us a promotion." She huffed as Zander comes up with the drink.
"He said if we don't get the Alpha Metal back, he'll feed us to Terry."
Ursula drinks the cup and crushes it. "I'll teach those little thieves a lesson they won't forget!"
They coughed at the steam is covering them.
Somewhere in the refinery, The Alpha Droids is continuing looking for the kids as they hid on top of the machinery.
"Finding brats! Finding brats! Finding brats!"
"Don't those droids ever give up?" Max groaned.
"Now what?" Zoe said.
"As long as we have this metal, they'll keep chasing us." Rex said.
"Wish I knew what they were gonna use it for." Max said.
"Max! Rex! Zoe! Where are you?" The kids heard and saw their teacher, who was calling and looking for them.
As she was looking, she ran into the Alpha Gang.
"I remember you!" Ursula snarled.
"Oh boy!" They yelped.
"You're the old lady who stole my lunch!" Michelle said.
"How dare you! When you're old enough to be my mother!" Ursula retorted.
"That's not true. I really don't think she'd pass for being your mom." Ed said.
"Stay out of this!" She snapped.
"Michelle!" Max said as they come down the stairs.
"It's not safe in here!" Rex said.
"Run for it!" Zoe yelled as the Alpha Gang sees them.
"Let's get our metal back!" Zander said.
"They're the ones who are gonna end up being Terry's lunch!" Ursula pulls out the Alpha Scanner and slash the card. "Alpha Slash!"
Terry is summoned in full-sized T-Rex, but ends up hitting his head on the low ceiling due to small space.
"That's a huge chameleon!" She fainted.
"Let's go, Chomp!" Max turned Chomp into a card and shot it to his hand. "Dino Slash! Go Triceratops, Roar!" He slashed the card on his Dino Holder and summons Chomp in full-size Triceratops.
The battlefield changes as Terry gets up.
"Chomp, we need to lure Terry away from into a bigger space!" Max told him.
Terry lunges at Chomp, who turns and ran off, prompting Terry to chase him.
"That's it, Chomp!" He shouted before turning to his friends. "Now's our chance to get Michelle outta here."
Chomp leads Terry to the bigger space to fight. As Terry catches up, he was sliced away by full-size Therizinosaurus.
"A Therizinosaurus." Max said before realizing Terran was here.
Therzinosaurus swiped its claws at Terry, knocking him away as Chomp joins in.
Terran joins in. "Max, what are doing here? You're supposed to leave with the others."
Before Max objected, they saw a jet, hovering down the refinery as the Alpha Gang did. Coming out of the jet was Seth.
"Why is Seth here?" Ed wondered.
'Seth?' Terran said. 'That's his name?'
"Who are you?" Max asked, but Seth said nothing.
Terry grabs Chomp's tail and hurls it at Therizinosaurus, knocking both down.
"Chomp!" Max said.
"Ursula, throw me your Alpha Scanner, quick!" Seth said.
"Oh, alright." Ursula throws the Alpha Scanner to Seth.
Max opens the Dino Holder and catches the move card.
"Lightning Strike!" He slashed the card.
"Velociraptor, Critical Block!" Seth slashed the new move card.
The Velociraptors appeared and blocked Chomp's Lightning Strike by stomping him. The trio of Velociraptor vanished before Therizinosaurus clawed them.
"Impossible, the Velociraptors never moved that fast!" Terran said, surprised as Max is.
"I have discovered a way to modify the Velociraptor's life energy and DNA." Seth admitted. "Thereby, enabling it to use moves from any other element. So, you could say I helped it to evolve."
"Changing dinosaurs into fighters isn't evolution. It's just evil." Max said, angrily.
"And what would have happened if dinosaur had lived on and had never become extinct, huh? They might have eventually have evolved more than humans have and established a civilization more advanced than ours. Sooner or later, a dinosaur far more powerful than any of these would surely have come into existence. All I've done is assist the natural order."
"First of all, Seth? These dinosaurs are the living creatures from the past! Not to be experimented!" Terran said, raising his voice. "Second of all, they've never asked for this because nobody needs your help to evolved them!"
"That's right. Nothing's natural about it. You have no right to be changing other living creatures." Max added.
"I wouldn't expect you two to understand the purity of the science." Seth said. "Brilliant ideas are always too much for small of minds."
He turns to the holographic disguised android.
"And as for you, I wouldn't expected someone who seems to care about the dinosaurs from an Ancient's personal android, Terran."
"Huh?" Terran confused.
Terry charges, but Chomp holds him with his horns before ramming him, knocking him over.
"Ready Chomp? Let's do this! Electric Charge!" Max swipes the move card on his Dino Holder.
The lightning struck Chomp, charging him up before he ramming him, knocking Terry against the wall.
"Terry got beaten." Zander worried.
"And now I'll show you one more thing this card can do. Final Fury!" Seth slashed the new move card on the Alpha Scanner.
Terry roared as the Velociraptor appeared again before grabbing Chomp and smashing him against the ceiling and floor, defeating him.
"Chomp, hang on!" Max cried as Terry turned back into a card.
"Therizinosaurus, come!" Terran turned back the dinosaur into a card shot to his hand.
Max reached the card, but Chomp's card was snatched quickly and it was Zander who caught it.
"Hah! Looking for this?" Zander taunted.
"Got brats! Got brats! Got brats!"
The Alpha Droids came back and brought Rex, Zoe, and Michelle as hostages and soon surrounds them.
"Oh no! Now they got Zoe, Rex, and Michelle!" Max cursed.
Ursula laughed, gloated as Ed and Zander stood, confidence now that they have the advantage.
"So let's make a deal." Ursula said, "If you want to save your friends and the old lady, give us back the Alpha Metal."
"Who are you calling old?" Michelle slurred before fainting.
Terran looked at the kids and Alpha Metal that everyone hassled over and decided before taking the Alpha Metal from Max.
"Hey!" Max said.
"You can have it back." He said, surprising the kids and the Alpha Gang.
"Really? You mean it?" She said, surprised.
"I think that punk means it." Ed said.
"I wasn't expecting it either." Zander said.
"Terran, you can't give it to them!" Zoe pleaded.
"I had to." The android said. "To keep you kids safe and your teacher as well."
"Forget it!" Max snatched it from Terran before he gave the Alpha Metal to the Alpha Gang and ran to the stairs.
"Max, wait!" He yelled. "What are you doing?"
"Stop him!" Ursula yelled.
Max walks up to the vat of molten metal and hold it the Alpha Metal above it.
"Give me back Chomp's card and let everyone go now!" He demanded. "Or I'll throw this stupid ball of yours into that furnace!"
"You wouldn't!" Ursula said.
"Yes, he would!" Ed said, sweated.
"Let him throw it in if he wants to." Seth said, surprising the Alpha Gang. "Yes, go ahead and throw it in and I'll give back the Triceratops card and let your friends go free."
"Yeah? You mean it?" Max said, but bit doubtful.
"Yes, I give you my word."
Max was surprised a bit. "Okay!" He's about to throw the Alpha Metal into the furnace.
"Max, wait a second!" Rex said stopping him. "Before he throws it in, I wanna know something! What is that Alpha Metal and why is it so important?"
"Yeah, tell us!" Zoe said.
"Nothing for you to worry about. Alpha Metal is a special alloy that we use for our machines and reactor cores." Seth explained. "Nothing to do with dinosaurs. Go ahead and throws that ball into the furnace."
"Wait, I want answers." Terran said, surprising the kids. "Where did I come from and how did you know my name?"
Seth looks at the android for a minute.
'Strange, I didn't expect Dr. Ancient's personal android to arrive in this time period and yet, he doesn't remember anything. Could he have lost his memories?' He thought. 'No matter, at least he won't remember… for now.'
"I'm afraid that answer you need remains unknown." He said, surprising the questioned android before turning to Max. "Go on and I'll give dinosaur card back.
"All right then. Here goes nothing." Max throws the Alpha Metal in the furnace.
The Alpha Metal is floating up the surface.
"No!" Ursula said,
"Do I have to tell Dr. Z?" Ed asked.
"Zander, give the boy back his card." Seth told him.
"What? You were serious about that?" Zander exclaimed.
"Yes, I give him my word." He said, getting in the jet. "Ursula, retrieve the Alpha Droids and get back on board the Alpha craft."
Seth tossed back the Alpha Scanner to Ursula.
"Has he lost it?" Ed asked.
"I think he's spending way too much time with Dr. Z." Ursula said, "But who cares? As long as he gets all the blame." She turns to Zander. "Give the brat's the card and untie them and let's get outta here."
She left with Ed as Zander gives the card back to Max.
"All right. Here you go, I guess."
"You okay, Chomp? Good to have you back." Max said.
"If you kids know what's good for you, you'll far away from this building." Seth said.
"Why?" Max questioned as Terran unties the kids and Michelle.
"Because it's about to blow sky high." He said as he and the Alpha Gang took off through the hole.
"Do you think he was serious?" Max wondered.
"I don't the looks of this." Rex said.
"Michelle…" Zoe said, waking her up.
"Huh, oh dear. There you are. Are you children alright?" She asked.
"That's what we should be asking you." Max said.
"Let's go, guys!" Zoe said.
The kids headed to the exit with Terran carrying their teacher.
As they left, they look back to see the two Alpha craft as they still hover over the refinery.
"What are they up to now?" Max said.
"Nothing good I'm sure." Zoe said.
"Come on. you kids. We better take cover in the bus and prepare for the worst." Terran told them.
They rushed to the bus.
"So what are you planning to do, Seth?" Ursula asked.
"Sending a capsule of Dinomond Amber Powder into that blast furnace will create immense energy." Seth said. "Powerful enough to refine the Alpha Metal into 100% pure form."
He drops the capsule into the furnace as the furnace reacts as they took off from the distance. The iron refinery exploded as everyone in the bus braced themselves from the explosion. Once the explosion dies down, the refinery is destroyed and in the large crater was pure refined Alpha Metal before Seth retrieves it in the jar and flew back to Zeta Point.
"Huh? What's this?" Michelle said, coming out. "The whole factory is gone!"
Terran and the kids walked to the crater.
"Just think if we hadn't gotten out of there in time." Max said
"We'd be toast." Zoe finished.
"You knows guys. We've gotta stop them." Rex said.
"Yeah, we will." Max said, vowing that they will stop them.
Terran said nothing while wondering why Seth said his name and being this Ancient's android.
