Battle Royale!
At nighttime in India, there was an Indian-custom palace with circular pathways with fountain in center and gazebo until…
"I am sick of all these rules! Why can't I do what I want!?" The loud girl voice yelled and slam the door shut.
"My goodness." The woman sighed, "That girl gets more stubborn every day."
She walks away with the servants.
"See that she doesn't leave this house."
In her room, the princess stood up from her bed and walked to the balcony.
"Someday, I will finally swim in the Ganges." She said,
(Dream)
She dreamt that she was swimming in the Ganges river.
"I've heard it said that one swims toward the sunset in the sacred Ganges river, one's dreams will come true.
On the horizon, the transparent of a young man that she dreamt is a prince.
"I just know then I would find the prince I've been dreaming of."
(Dream Ends)
"If they won't let me go," She shook her head, "Then I have no choice but to run away."
She looked and found something to climb down. She took the vine and slid down to the ground. The India princess looked around to see it's coast is clear and ran towards the gate. She tried to push it open, but it didn't budge until she picked up the rock.
"If I cannot go through the door, I shall go under." She digs the ground until she hits something.
The princess brushes off the dirt found… the dinosaur card capsule.
"What is this?" She picked it up and accidently opened it as the card fell out.
The wind is blowing the card and activate it, revealing a dinosaur name Deltadromeus. It roared, making the princess frightened a bit by it. Instead of attacking her, the dinosaur slam its tail against the gate and ran off.
"What?" She said.
The Deltadromeus ran and jumped on the fountain, but it realized that the fountain isn't deep enough and roared in frustration.

(Loud Dinosaur Roar)
At Max's house, Zoe is watching a television film about the ballroom dance.
"Oh, beautiful." Zoe sighed as she imagined herself as a princess. "That should be me. I would have made a great princess."
"Charmed, I'm sure." Zoe laughed in her princess mannerism.
While she was daydreaming, Zoe was interrupted when Chomp ran by her with soccer ball in his beak.
"Give me the ball, Chomp!" Max shouted.
Zoe sighed in annoyance as Max managed to take the ball from Chomp.
"Zoe, feeling like playing some soccer?" He asked, threw the soccer at Zoe, only to hit her head and causing her to fumed.
"No, I don't not and you might try being more gentle with girls!" Zoe fumed.
"Uh, what?" He said, holding Chomp in his arms.
"Princesses are delicate and they do not play violent games like soccer."
"So now you're a princess?" Rex said, coming in. "That ball must have hit you on the head a lot harder than it looked like."
"Guess you've been watching old movies again, right Chomp?" Max said.
"Just leave me alone!" She growled.
Suddenly, they heard an alarm from their dino-holder.
"It's another dinosaur!" Max said.
The D-team headed to the D-lab and looked at the map.
"Looks like it's in India, along with Ganges River." Reese noted.
"All right, let's go!" Max declared.
"Wait, Max. Ladies first." Rex said, stopping him.
"What?"
They see Zoe is going first while behaving like a princess.
"Did I miss something?" Terran asked.
"She thinks that she's a princess." Rex whispered. "Probably watch some old movies about them."
"But she's not a princess."
"I know and I think we'd better go along with this princess thing for a while."
"Oh, alright." Max said.
"Gentlemen, I don't like to be kept waiting?" Zoe called them.
"Oh, coming princess." They said while Terran was confused about her behavior.
They headed to the teleporter.
"Wait, kids! Take this along; you shouldn't drink tap water in India." Dr. Taylor said, "Especially not princesses."
"See ya, dad." Max said as they teleported to India.
"Your royalty?"
"She's a royal something." Reese remarked.
Terran and the kids were teleported here in the India's village until the local kids is gathered around them, thinking that they're tourists.
"What do you think they want, you guys?" Max said.
"We seem to be really popular." Zoe guessed.
"They think that we're tourist." Terran said.
"We're here looking for a dinosaur." Rex shouted. "Have you seen anything like that around here?"
"A dinosaur?"
"Did you fall on your head?"
"No, but what about a cow?"
"Oh…" Max sighed.
"That's not what he meant." Terran said.
"I saw a dinosaur recently." They heard a voice and see a local, wearing a hood.
"You did? Where?" Max inquired.
She giggled and started to ran off.
"Hey, wait for us!"
"'scuse us! Coming through!" Terran said as they chased after her.
A few minutes later, Terran and the kids finally caught up to her.
"Where did you see a dinosaur?" Max demanded.
"At my house." She answered.
"What kind was it? Do you know?" Zoe asked.
"Are you sure it was a dinosaur?" Rex asked.
"Mm-hmm, it was too dark to tell much about it, but I know what I saw." She took off her hood and knelt down at Chomp. "Oh, what a cute dog you have."
The princess was petting the baby Triceratops.
"Would you mind taking us back to where you saw it so we could maybe take a look around?" Max asked.
"I'm sorry, but I cannot go back there." She said.
"Huh?"
"But why can't you go back to your house?" Rex said.
"That is the long story but if you come with me, I will tell you all about the dinosaur I saw." The princess requested.
"Uh?" They said as Terran raised his eyebrow, confusedly.
At the palace, the entire palace learned that the princess has gone missing.
"Where is Meena? Have you found my daughter?" The king demanded.
"We are searching everywhere but so far, there is no trace of her." The servant informed.
The India king was fumed and worried about her daughter.
"But we have apprehended three suspicious characters, loitering on the grounds, but they didn't seem to be involved with Meena, sir."
"What is suspicious about them?" The king asked.
"They claim to be a traveling actors here to put on the show for you. What shall I tell them?"
"Lousy entertainment is the last thing I need; throw them out."
"Yes, sir."
The servant left the room to deal with the certain entertainers while the king was deepened in thought about where her daughter is.
"Meena…"
Somewhere in the palace, the certain entertainers is none other than Alpha Gang, who was here for the dinosaur.
"Put me down, you're wrinkling my tunic!" Zander demanded.
"You're lucky we don't have your vagrants arrested for smashing the fountain and the gate." The servant said.
"Fountain?"
"Gate?" Ed said, confused.
"Let me do the talking here!" Ursula hissed before turning to the servant. "Sir, could we at least show you our act, then you can decide to throw us out?"
"Well, alright, but do not waste my time." He sighed, making them flinched.
"What act do we have?" Ed asked, worried.
"The dinosaur is somewhere in this house, so we just have to stall for a while." She told them, "Watch now and be amazed."
The Alpha Gang brings out the table with two vase and the Alpha Gang insignia.
"Shazam! I will now make a dinosaur magically emerge from this vase. Observe." Ursula said and played the flute. "And show me a red dinosaur."
Terry comes out of red vase and barked.
"Look at that, let's give me a big hand." She then gestured the yellow vase. " And next, I shall make a purple dinosaur appear from this vase."
Ursula plays a flute, making Spiny popping out from the yellow vase, hissing. Terry was growling at Spiny, who was hissing at him. Probably due to them being a territorial predator to each other despite being tamed or control by Alpha Gang.
"Tada! And now watch these mortal enemies make friends one another. Tada!" She said while the mini carnivores was being held by two hands before putting hands on them. "I said make friends!"
Without warning, those two chibi dinosaurs broke out of their hold and start attacking Zander and Ed, who was at the bottom of the table.
"Hey, that's my hair! Stop it!" Zander yelled while Spiny is tugging his hair.
"Get it off of me! I think it's eating my head!" Ed cried while Terry is biting his head.
"Keep it down, you guys! You'll ruining the whole act." She said before the table is breaking down. "And I was just about to get to the sawing in half act."
"Throw them out." The servant ordered the guard.
The Alpha Gang was thrown out of the palace and the door was closed.
"Hey, what happened over there, guys?" Ed said, looking at the damaged courtyard.
"Sure looks like dinosaur damaged to me." Zander noted and saw the crashed wall.
"Just as I thought, we're getting close." Ursula said.
Back with the group, the D-team, Terran, and Meena is riding on the taxi cart.
"Are we almost there?" Max said, getting impatient.
"Wow, I always wanted to try riding in a taxi!" Meena said, happily.
As they look around the village, they stop by the small market like Zoe and Meena was looking at the necklace stand while Terran was browsing the knick-knack shop and purchase the small elephant statue.
"Try this." Meena said, handing them a beverages. "This is my favorite drink called Lassi, it is a drink made with goat milk."
"Thanks, Meena. It's really delicious." Zoe said.
"I'm glad you like it. I could drink them every day."
"Hey, could you tell us about the dinosaur you saw?" Max asked.
"Yes, I will tell you everything on our way to the Ganges."
"We're going to the Ganges?"
"Why do you want to go to this Ganges?" Terran asked,
"Because if you swim toward the sunset, all of your dreams will come true." Meena answered.
"Your dreams come true? Really?" Zoe questioned.
They heard tire screeched sound when Meena looked over the nearby market and saw her mother pulled over.
"Huh?" Zoe gasped when Meena was behind her.
"I have to go. I'm sorry." She left to hide from her mother.
"Why? What's the matter?" Zoe then ran after her while the boys looked on before Meena's mother approached them.
"Excuse me, young men and sir. But by chance, have you seen this girl around the neighborhood?" Meena's mother asked, showing them a picture of Meena.
"Uh…Well?" Max said,
"Who is she, ma'am?" Rex asked.
"Meena is the princess; daughter of the royal family and she's missing." Meena's mother said.
"But why would your daughter went missing?" Terran said.
"I do not know, but last night, she disappeared from that house you see up on the hill." She looked at the palace. "Her father is very worried about her. So please let us know if you should happen to see her."
"Uh, okay?" The android said.
Meena's mother left to continue searching for her daughter and the boys looked each other, wondering why Meena ran away from her home.
It wasn't long when the boys found Zoe and Meena in the alley way.
"Wow, you're a real-life princess?!" Zoe exclaimed. "And you didn't tell us?"
"Hey, Zoe! Keep it down." Max hushed her.
"But why would a princess ever want to run away?"
Chomp was chewing Meena's bracelet, much to her fascination.
"So you want to eat my bracelet, do you?" She said.
"Meena, listen. Your family is looking for you and they seem pretty worried." Rex said.
"Yes, but I cannot return home until I finally reach the Ganges and swim into the sunset?"
"Meena…" Max said.
"Is that why you ran away from home?" Terran questioned.
"Hey, how about if I take your place at home?" Zoe suggested, "If I take your place at home just until sundown, I'll pretend that I'm you and then when you get back, we can switch places again."
They looked at her, shocked that this is a bad idea.
"Have you lost your mind or something? They're gonna know right away that you aren't really her." Max protested.
"No, they won't." Zoe said, "Come on, I have an idea."
A few seconds later, Meena changed into Zoe's outfit while Zoe is in her Meena's clothes, much to the boys' chagrin.
"See, you can't tell who's who anymore." Zoe said.
"Yeah, right. Whatever." Max said.
"I'm gonna check out her house for the dinosaur while I'm there. So this is perfect, isn't it?""
"Well, I guess." Rex said.
"I suppose so." Terran said.
"Okay, so we're all set." Zoe turned to Meena. " Meena, you go ahead and follow your dreams and we'll take care of the rest."
"There she is! Driver, stop the car." They heard Meena's mother voice as the car pulled over.
"All right, wish me luck and come home as soon as you can." Zoe ran to the car.
"Bye, Meena." Rex said.
"Yeah, so nice to meet you in person." Terran said. "I think."
"Meena, my child. You had us all worried sick." Meena's mother said as Zoe gets in the car. "Honestly, such behavior."
The car drove back to the palace.
"She's very brave." Meena said.
"That's not I was going to say." Max exclaimed.
Suddenly, they heard a rumble sound.
"What was that?" Terran said.
"It's this way!" Max said.
They headed to the market where the villagers is running away from Deltadromeus.
"Keep running!"
The dinosaur is wreaking havoc in the villages and ran. Max, Rex, and Terran saw the dinosaur, roaring in the air. The Deltadromeus is looking around the villages, looking for something.
"Rex, Terran, do you know which way did Chomp went?" Max asked, looking around.
"No, he followed Meena." Rex said,
"Uh, boys." Terran said as the shadow looms over them and see the dinosaur, roaring at them. "Run!"
Terran hurried the boys away from the rampaging dinosaur.
In the midst panic, Meena was in the middle of the panic while looking for them.
"Max, Rex, Terran, where are you?" She then heard Chomp's barking and saw him. "Chomp, I am so happy you are here."
Chomp barked in response.
"Huh, the sun has almost set." Meena looked at the sun. "I'd better hurry and get to the river."
She and Chomp head to the Ganges River.
Back with the boys, Deltadromeus is terrorizing the villagers, who ran away as the dinosaur kicked the taxi cart away and saw the fountain. It jumps on the fountain and realized the fountain isn't deep enough and wreaked the fountain apart.
"That looks like Deltadromeus." Max said.
"Yeah, and he seems pretty angry tearing up the water fountain like that." Rex said.
"But why would the Deltadromeus wreak it as if it wants to swim or something?" Terran wondered.
"I don't know, but come to think of it, the natural habitat for Deltadromeus was rivers and swamps." Rex explained, "I wonder if he could be looking for the nearest river."
"Hey, wasn't Meena just talking about a river?" Max thought.
"The Ganges!" They realized.
"Boys, the Deltadromeus is getting away!" Terran pointed at the dinosaur, who ran away.
"That's it and I'll bet you anything where its headed for it now." Max said.
"But so are Meena and Chomp." Rex said.
"Let's go."
They followed Deltadromeus to the Ganges River where Meena and Chomp.
Meanwhile, Zoe is the palace keeping up her act in Meena's place.
"Your father will be quite relieved to hear that you are home safe…" Meena's mother said as she pours a tea and the maids is tending Meena's room. "…as we all are. I cannot imagine what possess you to do such a thing, Meena."
"What an incredible room!" Zoe awed, around the room. "The whole house is just like the princess's palace I saw in my dream." She drinks her tea. "Oh, this is just wonderful. It's just how I imagined it to be." Until the maid comes behind her and try taking her hood off. "No, don't take it off! I want it on."
"Why would you wear your veil indoors, my dear?" Meena's mother questioned.
"I may have caught a cold while I was out and it's a little chilly in here." She said.
"Huh, well in any case, here's your schedule for today." She brings out her notepad. "First, you have English lesson, followed by French lesson, and Indian dance class, then cooking class, and international…"
'Nobody told me princessing involved actual work!' She thought, anxious.
At the Ganges River, Meena and Chomp has made it here as the swimmers is in the rivers.
"I cannot believe I'm finally here!" Meena said, holding Chomp in her arms. "The sacred river, Ganges."
The Indians jumped in the river as everyone else is in the river before Meena changed her clothes to swim.
"Alright, little friend, wait for me right here." She told Chomp before diving in the river.
Chomp tilt his head, wondering as she swims to the sunset.
"I'm free! I'm finally free! Maybe it's true that the Ganges leads all the way up to heaven."
The seagulls is flying up as Meena swims.
'I'm finally swimming toward my dream. I just know my prince and a life of happiness and freedom are waiting for me out there.'
As she swims, she heard a yell and saw Deltadromeus is wreaking havoc near the Ganges River before diving down the river. To Meena's horror, that dinosaur can swim on the river.
"Stay away!" Meena swam faster as she could, thinking that Deltadromeus is chasing after her.
As she swims fast, Deltadromeus is almost catching up to her, but it didn't chase her. It was only trying to swim towards the sunset.
"Huh?" She looked at the swimming dinosaur. 'He was not after me after all. Maybe he was swimming towards the sunset too.'
Deltadromeus roared as it swims. She then look back and saw Chomp, biting on its tail.
"You came to save me." She said as Chomp is swimming towards her. "Thank you, Chomp."
"Mission accomplished!" Meena heard a voice and saw the Alpha Gang on the boat, holding their food on the plate. "The Deltadromeus here and those delinquents aren't. So, we can enjoy our curry. Then capture our dinosaur for dessert."
When Zander ate the curry with his hands, his mouth is burning.
"I asked for spicy, not to burn off my taste buds!" Zander cried. "Somebody put out the fire in my mouth!"
"It's really much more civilized to use the spoon, you know." Ed said, eating the curry with his spoon.
"But not in India, you eat with your hands because spoons are… sacred or something." Ursula explained.
"Oh, I didn't know." He reached the curry with his right hand.
"No!" She smacked Ed. "Not that hand, you big clod. Use your right hand. The left hand is considered to be unclean here. Good grief, talk about uncivilized."
When she eat the curry with her hand, her mouth was burning from spices in curry.
"Summon Spiny before my head blows off!"
"Alpha Slash!" Zander slashed Spiny's card on his Alpha Scanner.
As Spiny is summoned in full-sized Spinosaurus, the Alpha Gang was sent flying as their raft is destroyed. Spiny roared, frightened Meena.
"Whoa." Max gasped while the villagers is panicking.
"Sounds like there's a battle taking place." Terran noted.
"Let's hurry!" Rex said.
The boys headed to the Ganges River.
At the Ganges River, Spiny is swimming towards Meena and Chomp, who is growling at Spiny. Before Spiny attacks them, Deltadromeus rams him away from them.
"Another one?" Meena said.
Spiny was thrown on the shore before Deltadromeus runs up and smacking his side over again.
"Come on, Spiny! Don't let him smack you around like that!" Ursula yelled while they kicked their feet on the raft and eating at the same time.
"I'm really getting tired." Ed whimpered.
"Maybe you should stop feeding your face!"
"I can't even feel my face anymore!" Zander exclaimed.
Spiny and Deltadromeus faced against each other before Spiny charges and rams it, but Deltadromeus tries holding him back.
Meena and Chomp arrives on the shore.
"That poor dinosaur is being hurt when all it was doing was swimming after its dreams." She said.
Spiny is stomping his feet on Deltadromeus before Max, Rex and Terran arrived to see them.
"The Deltadromeus is losing to Spiny." Rex noted.
"Chomp and Meena are with them too." Max said.
"Perfect, it's the brats and punk." Ursula frowned.
"Go Spiny! Knock that thing back to its card so we can het out of here!" Zander ordered.
Spiny roared as Deltadromeus is feeling tired and injured from his beatings.
"Hey, Chomp. Let's help that Deltadromeus." Max pressed the button on his dino-holder, turning Chomp into a card and zaps to his hand. "Dino Slash!" He slashed the card. "Go Triceratops, roar!"
Chomp is summoned in full-sized Triceratops.
"Wait, Chomp is a dinosaur?!" Meena said, surprised.
Spiny lift the Deltadromeus by its neck before Chomp runs up and slams him from his back before throwing him to the river.
"Alright!" Max cheered.
Deltadromeus gets back up and staggers over to Meena, who welcomes her protector, but it collapses at her feet and turned back into a card.
"What's this?" She said, picking up the card.
"Don't even think about it!" She turned to the Alpha gang. "That card belongs to us, missy! So hand it over right now."
"This is yours, old lady?" She asked.
"Oh no, you did not just call me an old lady!" Ursula growled.
"Spiny, get that card from her no matter what it takes now!" Zander ordered.
Spiny roared and went after Meena, who was frightened by him, and the card that she has, but Chomp rams and tosses him away again.
"Oh, Chomp!" Meena gasped.
"Stand back, Meena!" Max opens the dino-holder and pops out the move card before catching it. "Lightning Strike!"
Chomp roared and fires the lightning at Spiny, sending him flying over to the Alpha Gang, defeating him.
"Are you alright, Meena?" Rex asked when he and Terran come over to them.
"You feeling okay?" Terran added.
They looked at the horizon to see Chomp bellowed.
"I did not find my prince beyond the sunset; Chomp did come and save my life." She smiled.
Max turned Chomp back into a card and turned him back into a chibi-sized and picked him up.
"Well, Chomp. Looks like you were a hero today." Max said.
Chomp barked in response as Meena smiled.
Back at the palace, Zoe was struggling in posing.
"Straighten your back and point your toes." Meena's mother instructed.
"I'm trying." Zoe said.
"Do it!" She smacks her, dropping her dino-holder.
"Uh-oh!"
Before Meena's mother picks it up, Zoe quickly picks it up and chuckled, nervously.
"Time for my walk!" She ran off before Meena's mother asked.
Later, Max, Rex, and Terran explains to Meena about the dinosaur.
"So, you travel around to protect dinosaurs?" Meena questioned.
"Yeah, pretty much." Max said, "Isn't that right, Chomp?"
Chomp chirped in her arms.
"But today, it was the dinosaurs who protected me by Chomp here and also the first that turned into this card." She pulled the card she found.
"It's called Deltadromeus." Rex said.
"You should take this and keep it safe." Meena hands the card over to them.
"Thanks, Meena." Max said, taking the card.
"I wonder how Zoe's doing?" Rex wondered. "It's been a while."
"Huh."
"Max, Rex, Terran!" They heard Zoe's voice.
"Zoe?" Terran said.
"Save me!" They looked at Zoe, who was exhausted and panicked.
"What's wrong?" Max asked.
"It was horrible in that house! I never want to be a princess!"
A few minutes later, Zoe and Meena changed back to their usual clothing.
"At least now I understand why you ran away." Zoe said, "Being a princess isn't just glitz and glamour is it, Meena?"
"No, but I am to go home anyway." Meena said.
"What?" They said.
"You want to go back home?" Terran asked.
"Yes, I owe it all to you for showing me what my destiny is. I finally found a real dream that I can work toward."
"What kind of dream are you thinking about?" Zoe asked.
"I want to become a research scientist and study dinosaur." Meena said.
"Huh?" The boys gasped.
"After all, those dinosaurs did risk their lives just to rescue me. I want to know more about them."
She look down at Chomp, who rubbed her legs and looked at her.
"While there's so much that is still unknown, I feel like I have a good start toward understanding." Meena said, petting Chomp.
"Well then, in that case…" Max pull something from his pouch and gives her the badge. "You need this."
"It's a badge that says your part of a D-team." Zoe explained.
"Really? This is for me?" Meena said.
"Yep, as of today, you're officially one of us." He said.
"I'll treasure this, Max."
As she thanks them, the car pulls over next to the group and they saw her mother comes out.
"Meena, you must stop running off like this! You're father is worried sick." She said before noticing Zoe, "Wait, who is this? Haven't we met? You look familiar."
Zoe flinched and hid behind Terran.
"No, you must have me mistaken for someone else." She said.
"I suppose I should go. Take care, my new friends." Meena bowed and going in the car.
"You too, Meena." Rex said.
"No more running away from home." Max said.
She gets in the car and rolls down the window.
"Thank you all and especially you, Chomp." She said to Chomp.
Chomp barked at her before she heads back to her home.
"Farewell, D-team. Until we meet again." She waved at them.
"Bye!" Terran and the kids waved good-bye to the princess while Chomp barked.
