The right down to Sanjo over snowed over paths was quiet and cold. Zoe held on to Max, She looked at her normally warm smiling, cheerful boyfriend , his normal look was serious and as cold as the weather outside. It made her shiver, she understood why he looked so cold. She really did, just hard to believe yesterday he hugged and kissed her up as she thought her head head was cute, which embarrassed her.
Like wise Amy who sat in Rex's lap was looking at her boyfriend looking serious, Rex did a Good job at acting fine, but Let's recap his life, Taken form different world and dropped here, making him a changeling, All the dinosaurs and destruction happened because his biologicals hired the wrong butler, Because of said Butler the world was ending in an ice age, Had to accept his first love was not to be, as She was meant to be with his best friend and foster brother, after all no him and they would have already been dating, now the woman who was his only mother figure was in trouble. Amy may be quite but that means she watches and learns.
Elsewhere in the back seat Dexter was sitting in Barbie's lap the Girl held him close making the crossdresser blushed. Barbie spoke up, "Okay ice breaking I am Barbie This is Dexter I use to date this total jerk that was a macho hunk and Dexter would tell me he's not good, he doesn't care about you like I do. Now Dexter said this in a dress so I was a total bitch back then, and laughed at him. Then this guy took the beach hostage and my former boyfriend used me as a shield, Total shit, then Dexter here tackled the gun men. I had an eye opener." She snuggled him.
Zoe said one thing to this, "bitch my boyfriend fought and be at a sabertooth." Barbie laughed and said, "My boyfriend took a gun shot wound to the stomach and still continued to fight, Gun beats saber tooth." Zoe growled saying, " Your boyfriend snuck attack, mine dove straight forward with nothing but a stick!" The blonde said this, " Doesn't matter who's braver my Dexter is cuter." The ginger's reply was, "Oh hell no to both those things, My Max is the cutest and he has abs under this jacket I know I snuggled them enough." The pink haired girl looked crossed out, "Buff bodies gross me out they remind me of that macho ass I was hypnotized by. Soft and cuddly for me, or just not buff."
Amy who was between them said this, "Ladies you are both screaming in one of my ears, I will ask you to stop Also My Rex is a broken bird." She put arms around his head, "That makes him cuddly. he wins." the boys all groaned. Form the front Seat Ken looked back commenting, "I used to date Max I can tell you this out of all this boys he is the best. Don't let him go Zoe. You let him go I am going to regooble him up."
Doctor, Owen said one thing, " Geee Don't I feel useless I am just driving and look at this." they came to the ice wall they heard about that was the new sanjo area under Caeser. Everyone got out, well everyone but Doctor Owen This was going to be the first battle. The first battle as a team of seven.
Ken said this, " Hide it comes soon." They hide behind snow as it came out a thing that could only be discripted as an armored black prehistoric best card, This one had red stripes, Aki on it's back, it's appearance was half horse half gorilla, Making this a Chalicotheridae. Claws on it's hands for defense, and it's claws where pink hinting it got alphed. On it's neck hanging by chain was a cage with Aki, who was knocked out breathing horrible, pale, body black and blue in rags. The sight made Rex and Max charge out.
This enemy beast held it's claws out on fire the Collar chain hanging so it could use Aki as shield. As it charge to slash at Ace and Chomp who appeared and with a call of "Spectral armor!" they where armored. Max looked back and signaled by pointing side ways with bent arm. Dexter nodded, " you heard the man!" he lead the other's in running to get behind the beast before summoning their now spectral armored.
Form behind Amy used Hanah for "Quake saber!" the move trigger slashing off back plate. The beast tried to react but Dexter held his arms out, "let's go Arco Let's go alpha trooper!" his move card summoned a super alpha droid who performed a suplex on the enemy giving the Dinosaur the time to spit fire and melt the chain so the cage fell down. Fallen down this Give Ken and open to call out, "eoraptor lightning mode plasma Anchor!"
Eoraptor turned into a copy of Chomp that was purple and grey, and used the lighting whip attack which was built in to fling the monster away into a tree, While Max and Rex headed to the cage. Zoe slashed, " Nature's blessing," target Aki. barbie saw the enemy monster with cracked armor, "Okay Iry! You and me's turn hit Ocean panic!" She slashed making freezing water appear on the beast as the move sea monsters attacked, the cold alone did more damage then biting and made the black card turn to dust.
Our heroic alpha fire dinosaur bite the cage door off so they could get Aki out of their. Zoe looked to it as they heard footsteps and saw torches coming. Barbie said, "The Fuzz, Zoe I know you want your sister back, but right now we need to scram, Sure we beat the thing but that's an army. We need to sneak around, Come on She's straight she will be fine up in Caeser's Sanjo, Trust me I know form experience she is safe with the Galli." They got in Zoe Confused.
Once they got in Aki laying on the kids sitting in lap's laps the heater jacked up The dinosaurs cards. Aki painted opening eyes to see Max and she smiled, "...my...son..." Zoe didn't want to take focus off Aki and felt bad about wanting to know more about the galli She mentioned She remained quite on the ride back.
Now coming to the tracks came the people working for Caesar and Caesar himself in primitive fur coats mittens, and fur boots. Caesar who had a red cloak and hood, along with a metal band around his head stood out, his skin was pale, his hair black, his one eye green, his right eye had a patch. He saw the tracks, "The demon wasn't lying we are not the only ones who survived and unlike us they remain technological." he looked at it, "Return to the City for now, it's too dark to head out with torches. Come morning the trail will be lost. They came once they will come again. We will be waiting for their return." He said heading back his men all had plate activators like Goma's on the back of their mittens. "We will be waiting for them...it's officially war..."
Later on at the bunker, Rose stabilized Aki, who was now warm cleaned in bed, being drip feed on Ivy same with meds. Rose had barrowed Goma's activator to active a random grass dinosaur as chibi to use nature's blessing to heal her more, Quickly. She kissed her wife's cheek holding it, "It's okay honey keep fighting you are safe, You are sound, Our kids are together." She cried holding her face, "We can be a happy family together like you dreamed." Minmi was also their plugging in another heater for the room, "Keep fighting sis! you where the strong one, I was the smart one, Keep fighting come on back to us, Please don't make your son and daughter morn you."
Elsewhere In the bunker, in the farm house Dexter was feeding chickens, when Zoe came up and said, "Okay I can't find your girlfriend So spill on this Galli thing she mentioned my sister was safe with?" Dexter while feeding them said, " the resistance against Caeser named as the founder was a trans woman." Zoe was blinking, "The Galli was a Co-vent of trans gender Holly women from ancient Greece. Their gods were non binary beings so only one who wasn't Cis could be the holly. It also helps that The founder Angel is also of Greece descent. Reese came to help as she knows how the Dinosaur cards work. She can make copies of them, but she doesn't know how to copy stones, or the plates they use given by that blue skinned Demon. Now how about instead of bugging me you go support your boyfriend."
the Drake woman leaned against the pen of chickens and said, "I was, but he said and I quote You are worried about your sister go ask our new teammates so you don't have to worry... I swear he is just to nice for his own good." Dexter turned skirt skinning as he added, "let me guess he is holding the crying scared Lily being an epic big brother?" Zoe nodded.
Our Ginger said, "I wonder if I have one, I know I am not genetically related to my dad, And it got worst for me after what Minmi dug up." Zoe dusted off her yellow jacket, "At the end of the day their was a contract, Someone who's signature reads Big Sugar sighed to be My parents donor for me, under agreement he got equal parental rights to my mom and step dad. He wanted to be in my life, but as I never met him and my mom has a massive change of address label to her name, I have to assume she cut town and ran away to not give my birth dad the rights to be my dad." She crossed arms signing.
Dexter adjusted glasses, "Big Sugar...Zoe...I know your daddy." Zoe's eyes sparkled and she shock the drag queen, "SPILL MAN SPILL!" Dexter pulled out his phone to show pictures. Zoe took them and slide. In the pictures was Dexter with a tan girlish man in a princess outfit of green long blonde hair blue eyes. The other drag queens where in dresses, including a mini him that was Lily's age. Dexter explained, "before the ice age Big Sugar lived in the Next Town over, talking about how broken he was that his baby girl was out their being raised by scum bags and it was his fault for trusting them. Because of this he vowed to be a parent to every unwanted child to make up for his sins of trusting your mom and dad. Big Sugar is his stage name. His theater was also an orphanage for disowned and kicked out LGBT plus kids. Everyone is in princess outfits as the picture was of your little brother Little Sugar's birthday who wanted a princess themed party. So we all dressed up as princess.""
The drake woman looked at it. Dexter said this, "Little Sugar decided he wanted to wear dresses when he asked if he could wear skirts instead of pants at Five, It's his choice and Like a father Big Sugar supports it, and attacks anyone who says other wise." Zoe looked at it sniffling, "Dexter can you please send me every picture of have of my dad and Brother to my bracer please." The drag queen nodded. Dexter then added, "They are underground and part of the Galli now like your sister. I don't think he has put it together that Reese is your sister. You two were so close yet so far for so long."
Zoe smiled nodding as she got the messages he was sending, "yeah...a cruel joke..." Growing up Zoe wanted a little brother , how ironic she had one. She smiled at the pictures of them. "Sugar...Zoe Sugar..." She smiled at the new last name and headed off. She entered the living room, Max was on the couch Lily in his arms. The little lady snuggled in a blanket cuddled up to her big brother. Zoe sat down next to them and sniffled showing Max the pictures and whispering, "My family is there too my dad and Little brother... Max I know what you are going through now." She cried Max wrapping an arm around her as she cuddled.
The next day Lily was dressed in a black dress with white fluff around neck and rim, Black fluffy boots with white fluff , black opera gloves with white fluff around the end, Note this gloves only looked opera on her, if anyone else was wearing it it would have been shorter, they didn't have winter clothes for little girls so she wears wearing clothes too big, hence this dress. Her mother was wearing a barrowed snow suit for Minmi, The two where with Max in Aki's room.
Aki under thick covered in a snow suit herself shivered pale but awake, coughing as she petted Lily's head and they had a family hug. "I never thought I would say it but Spike was right to flee to the jungle with Marry his back up. Oh...we need to get the teleporter And the other Galli out of their and stop the mining for the yellow spectral star." She coughed pale as Rose kissed her wife's head saying, "Rest you are ill, and you need the meds to take effect."
Zoe was looking into the door way smiling, while brushing her hair. Ken looked in and whispered, "let me guess form your sloppy brush work you gotten used to Max doing that too." Zoe nodded saying this, " yeah..." She smiled. "he needs this moment more than I need him, Plus we cuddled and cried together all night long on the couch." She blushed remembering waking up in Max's warm strong arms holding her as she held him. " A cuddle and cry is so romantic." Ken nodded and said, "Oh hell yeah...so Ex and current besties?" Zoe nodded. Max jumped feeling a disturbance in the force.
