In the vastness of the dreamscape, the whining of a baby dinosaur was heard. "Oh! Is that my baby dinosaur I hear crying out for his daddy!" Dr.Z said as he ran towards the source of the crying. "I hear you! Where are you! Hey!" Looking up He saw the silhouette of a circled up baby dinosaur surrounded by a rainbow. "Oh, there you are!" Dr.Z said, running up to the baby. "What's wrong? Tell me, why are you crying? Don't worry. Daddy's here!" The scientist comforted the baby as he tried reaching out to grab it. "Come to daddy! Come to daddy! Come to daddy! Come-ooh!"

Eventually, his dream ended when he bounced out of bed. Collecting his thoughts, the doctor quickly rose to his feet. "Oh! My Therizinosaurus is out there, and he needs me!"

It was decided that he needed to take action as soon as possible to avoid the D-Team getting a head start and collecting the card before him. All around the room were dimly lit candles as he waved a dinosaur bone over the map he used for predictions. "Ancient bones, hear me!" Dr.Z called out to the heavens. "Oooh! In the name of dinosaur DNA, reveal his location!" As the waved the bone over Japan, the bone began to shake like crazy. "Oh! There he is! Hee hee!" A pull chain came down and he activated it.

This activated some "alarm clocks" in the A-Team's rooms: Ursula's bed shook around like a wild bull, Zander was tickled by giant hands, and Ed was smashed by a giant foot. "Can't we just use alarm clocks?" Ed groaned as his fat resurfaced from the impact.

After getting dressed, the trio meet with Dr.Z to see what he wanted this early, while also trying to stay awake as Dr.Z explained everything. "So you see, I raised Therizinosaurus all the way from egg to adulthood. Oh, and what a cute baby."

With Therizinosaurus I enforced the strictest discipline." Dr.Z then remembered all of the training he put the little dinosaur through. "I put that dinosaur through its paces, training it night in day to be the best it could be." He said before tearing up. "You should have seen how much that dinosaur appreciates me!"

His crying was stopped when he noticed that the A-Team had fallen back asleep. "Huh? How dare you fall asleep while my boy is crying out for help!" He scolded them, which woke the trio up. "I'm sending you three to rescue him, and you better not mess it up! Now fall out!"

At that signal, the floor opened up and the trio fell through. "Aah!" Thankfully they landed in the rocket, but unthankfully they landed on the seats really hard. "We need seat cushions." Ursula said as she rubbed her behind.

"When you're close to the target, look for the colors of the rainbow!" Dr.Z yelled from above.

"Right. Colors of the rainbow." The trio groaned as the engines on the machine started and it took off towards Japan.

At a constitution site in Mystic City, a gold card was stuck to the wall. The sun was shining brightly today, meaning its release was only a matter of time.

While that happened, the D-Team was looking around the city while the others were at the college. "Wonder what Sapphire and the others couldn't come?"

"Max they had to go to college which is what we'll do when we're older." Zoe said. Speaking of college,

Lightning and the others were doing their usual work in their college classes. Sapphire was wearing her Dino Bracer and Gadget for safe keeping through she couldn't help but think. "Wonder what other dinosaurs are out there?"

DK

As the construction continued, the Alpha Gang walked by in search of the card. "Are you sure you got the right location from Dr.Z?" Ursula asked Zander, who was using his scanner as a GPS at the moment. "There's no dinosaur."

"No rainbow colors either." Ed added. "Whatever that's supposed to mean."

"I guess this time Dr.Z's fortune telling sent us to the wrong place." Zander assumed.

"Ugh! Why can't his mistakes ever send us to a beautiful spa and resort for a change?" Ursula asked in frustration before noticing something. "Though as long as we're here, we should make the best of it." Zander and Ed looked towards the building she was referring to. "Let's go up the observatory on the top floor!" She declared.

"Air conditioning!" Zander said in relief.

"And snacks!" Ed added.

They all quickly ran to the building while the D-Team had arrived outside of buildings. "You were right, Zoe. This is limestone, and there's a classic oncolite right here!" Rex said as he pointed to the fossil.

"And that one looks like a bivalve in that block over there." Zoe pointed to another fossil.

"This'll be great." Max said as he took pictures of both of them. "One of these is definitely going to come up with something good now."

"Let's keep our eyes open." Zoe said as they passed the construction sight.

"Clear the area!" The man in charge of construction ordered. "All right. Back it up!"

At that moment, there was a glimmer from the card that caught Zoe's attention. "Wait." she said as she tried to check it out.

"What is it?" Max asked. asked.

"I thought I saw something." Zoe said but she did not see anything, "I guess not."

At that moment, the sun began to reflect off the glass of the large buildings and land right onto the card. There was an explosion as the dinosaur was activated and revealed itself. The D-Team turned around to see what caused it.

The dinosaur was bipedal and covered with gray feathers with some large black areas on the sides, bottom of throat, and top of head, And finished with a red crest. Only its feet, hands, and face didn't have feathers. The main, and most obvious feature were the three claws on each of its hands. Each larger than a man. "Whoa! A Therizinosaurus!" Rex exclaimed. "You can tell by those massive claws!"

"But he's glowing!" Paris pointed out. "It must be another one of Dr. Zs secret dinosaurs!"

"Exactly!" Turning around, they saw Dr.Z approaching them on another flying machine piloted by Seth. "This Therizinosaurus is also one of my creations."

"It's him!" Max said as a button was pressed that caused the cage it was carrying to fall to the ground.

The D-Team saw this and quickly got out of the way before being smashed. "Hmph! Speedy little brats, aren't they?" Dr.Z asked Seth. "I should've know that I couldn't count on Ursula and the others to take care of this! Remind me to smack them around when we get back, Seth." He said before turning his attention to the dinosaur. "Hellooooo! Therizinosaurus! I've come to take you home! You've missed your daddy, haven't you?" He asked as he opened his arms like he was about to give a hug.

DK

While that was going on, the A-Team were waiting in line for the elevator. While they were, the Alpha Scanner started beeping. Before they could see what it was though, they were shoved into the elevator when everyone else entered.

DK

At the college, Sapphire and the Starfleet gang were at lunch when her Dino Bracer started to beep. "A dinosaur!" she cried.

"Where?" Lightning asked.

"It's on the island!" she said. "I've gotta go." she made a copy of herself. "You know what to do, clone me."

"Yes, real me." Clone Sapphire said. The real Sapphire rushed off while the others sweat dropped, "That never stopped being creepy." Rainbow stated.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

---

Back outside, the Therizinosaurus started slicing everything it could get its claws on into pieces. "He's going nuts!" Max exclaimed.

"Come here, Son." Dr.Z said as he jumped off the machine and landed in front of the cage. "Come to Daddy! Here I am!" The Therizinosaurus stopped once he noticed the doctor was on ground level. "You remember me, don't you? All those good times we shared when you were growing up. Hee hee heh." If he had his yes open he'd notice the Therizinosaurus get into attack mode.

The Therizinosaurus looked at the doctor and remembered all the training he did with him.

"Go!" The doctor ordered as he pointed to a star.

"Faster!" He ordered when the Therizinosaurus ran down a beach.

"Move it, lazy!" Came when he was running with tires attached to him.

The resurfacing of all those memories made the Therizinosaurus roar in anger at the doctor. With just a few swipes of his claws, he destroyed the cage in seconds. "What are you doing?!" Dr.Z asked as he got away from the attack.

"Doctor, I think you have lost control of the situation." Seth told him as he lowered so Dr.Z could jump back on.

"I have not!" Dr.Z shot back before seeing the Therizinosaurus walking away. "Hey! Where are you going!?"

"He's getting away!" Max said as the D-Team ran after him.

"Hey! Stop!" Dr.Z yelled at them to, obviously, no avail.

As the Therizinosaurus continued his march, everyone ran away from just the sight of the claws. "Look out!"

"What is that thing?!"

DK

Back with the A-Team, they were able to get themselves free from the cluster in the elevator. When they looked out the window them screamed in horror. "Aaaaah!" Outside the window was a furious looking Dr.Z. "For a minute, I thought that was Seth and Dr.Z." Ed said.

"Ed, that is Dr.Z!" Ursula told him as they saw the doctor yelling, and pointing down before falling out of the machine and being caught by Seth.

"I'm afraid these windows must be soundproof." Zander said.

"I don't need to here him to know what to do." Ursula said before doing said action. "Run!"

DK

It didn't take long for news of this to reach television. "Breaking news reports of a huge creature causing panic in the streets of Tokyo." The anchorwoman said. "Eyewitnesses have described the animal as a dinosaur with enormous claws. Safety officials are warning people to stay off the streets, but try to remain calm.

The assumed dinosaur has been causing massive damage to several buildings downtown." The anchorwoman said as pictures showed up on screen. "However, authorities say that its current whereabouts remain known."

At that same time, the D-Team ran across the screen as they searched for where the Therizinosaurus ran off to. "Where did he go?" Max asked as he looked around. They got there answer when a bright light started shining from the top of the building. Looking up, they were barely able to make out the silhouette of the Therizinosaurus.

"There he is." Max said as he covered his eyes.

"I can't see! It's like staring into the sun!" Rex said.

Dr.Z flew up so the light wouldn't blind him and approached the Therizinosaurus. "My dear boy, why are you running away from me?" Dr.Z asked before getting mad. "How can you reject your own father?!" The Therizinosaurus responded with a agitated roar. "Saw that you love me. Give me a sign." Dr.Z opened his arms as the aircraft flew slowly towards the dinosaur.

The sign he had was the Therizinosaurus smacking it away with his tail, causing Dr.Z to almost fall out again. "Dr.Z, it's no use." Seth said as he pulled him back up.

"Oh! After all the things I've done for you, I will not stand here and let you treat me this way!" Dr.Z yelled at the Therizinosaurus.

"Let it go." Seth said as he pulled the doctor back.

"Instead of just giving up, why don't you do something about it!" Dr.Z ordered.

"I suppose I could analyze the dinosaur." Seth told him. "Right. I'll check for any of its weaknesses." As Seth did the analysis, he came to a startling conclusion. "It's more powerful then I though!"

As the aircraft went closer, the D-Team decided to intervene. "Hey! Why don't you just leave that dinosaur alone?" Max told the doctor.

"Eh?" Dr.Z said in response.

"Can't you see that you're scaring him? He clearly doesn't want anything to do with you!" Sapphire told him, arriving on the scene.

"But how could he be afraid of me?" Dr.Z asked as he looked back to the Therizinosaurus and was shocked to see him cowering in fear.

"What have I done?" Dr.Z said as he realized just what his training did to his "child."

He remembered an instance where the Therizinosaurus saw a bowl of rice and reached a claw out to eat it, only for Dr.Z to smash said claw with a mallet. "I didn't hear you say please!" He scolded the dinosaur.

"But I- I was just trying to make you a polite dinosaur." Dr.Z said as he started tearing up. As another memory came to mind.

The Therizinosaurus was crying in front of a wet blanket before Dr.Z started chasing him around. "You see?! Agh! I told you not to drink so much milk before going to bed!"

"I'm sorry- I just wanted you to grow up to be strong." Dr.Z was starting to tear up as he also remembered how the Therizinosaurus struggled and cried in his restraints when he combined his card with a Move Card, all while he smiled wickedly. "I thought I was showing you tough love!" This outburst only made the Therizinosaurus back away in horror.

At that moment, the Alpha Gang walked outside and saw what was going on. "No way! There really is a dinosaur here!" Ursula exclaimed.

"Dr.Z's prediction and his crazy dream actually came true!" Zander said.

"It doesn't look like a very happy reunion though." Ed pointed out.

"Let's go!" Ursula said before grabbing their scanners.

"ALPHA SLASH!"

All four of the dinosaurs appeared on the same roof as the Therizinosaurus and surrounded him. "What are you doing?! Back off, numbskulls!" Dr.Z yelled at both the dinosaurs and A-Team.

"Huh?" The A-Team said in reply.

"Therizinosaurus and I are about to have a break through!" Dr.Z told them.

The dinosaurs ignored this and charged forward. The Therizinosaurus responded by slashing them with his claws. Tank fell over the side of the building and was defeated before he hit the ground. The Therizinosaurus then activated one of his Super Moves. He started glowing before spinning around like a drill with his claws slashing everything in his path. He knocked Terry and Spiny out of the way and off the bulding.

The Alpha Gang whimpered at their defeat. "It just used Gyro Claw!" Ed exclaimed.

The D-Team gasped at the display the Therizinosaurus showed. "Man, that guy's powerful." Max said.

"I want everyone to just leave my Therizinosaurus alone!" Dr.Z yelled. Sapphire looked at the Therizinosaurus. "My turn now."

"Be careful, Sapphire." Rex warned.

"Yeah, you saw how easily it beat the Alpha Gang." Max added.

"I will." Sapphire said. Sapphire spread her wings and flew up to the Therizinosaurus. "Hey boy." she greeted. Therizinosaurus stared at Sapphire curiously and moved it's head closer to her. "It's alright. I'm not gonna hurt you. I promise." she cooed, rubbing the Therizinosaurus on the head.

"Hey girl, leave my Therizinosaurus alone!" Dr. Z cried.

"How about you come with me, big fella?" Sapphire said. "I have lots of friends who would be glad to meet you." Therizinosaurus looked at her and it's eyes sparked a bit. Therizinosaurus could sense Sapphire was telling the absolute truth and it roared at her softly. Therizinosaurus lowered it's head and Sapphire climbed up on it's neck. Sapphire rubbed Therizinosaurus on the neck.

"Woah... she's good with dinosaurs." Max commented.

Dr. Z was horrified. "Unbelievable, my boy is acutally liking this new girl?!" he exclaimed

Therizinosaurus roared happily but then the police police arrived underneath the building and started to form a wall around it. "Hut! Hut! Hut!"

On the roof, a bunch of news people started flashing cameras at the dinosaur while the anchorwoman spoke. "I'm here just outside of our television station, where the dinosaur has been located on the roof of this very building."

The Therizinosaurus couldn't take the annoyance of all the flashing lights and people. "Easy boy, come on. I know a place to hide." Sapphire flew off of it's neck. "Follow me." Therizinosaurus roared and followed after Sapphire. It leaped off of the building and was guided towards the forest area near Canterlot High. The Therizinosaurus looked at all the trees. "See nice and peaceful.. so can you try to change back into a card so Dr. Z can't hurt you anymore?"

Therizinosaurus nodded and glowed brightly before changing into a card.

Sapphire picked up the card and stared at it happily. "Don't worry, I'll keep you safe." Suddenly, Terry, Spiny and Tank appeared behind her and she gasped in horror. Dr. Z, Seth and the Alpha gang appeared as well. "Give me back my Therizinosaurus, you brat!" Dr. Z cried aloud. Sapphire hugged the card to her chest. "No way, you're not hurting him anymore!" she exclaimed.

"Well then Ursula, get my Therizinosaurus back!" Dr. Z yelled.

"Right. Terry go get her!" Ursula ordered. Terry roared and ran towards Sapphire, who gulped nervously. She took out her Pachycephlasaurus. "Dino Slash, Pachycephalosaurus, Charge!" The Pachycephalosaurus roared aloud and the whole Alpha Gang gasped. "How did you get ahold of my Pachycephalosaurus too you brat!" Dr. Z cried. "No matter, it'll take them both back by force!" Terry, Spiny and Tank roared and charged the two. Sapphire mounted the Pachycephalosaurus, "Let's get out of here!" Pachycephalosaurus roared and ran out of the forest near the school. The commontion drew the attention of Celestia, Luna and Celesto who ran outside to find out.

"What the devil is going on here?!" Celesto yelled.

Pachycephalosaurus ran past them and Sapphire took the trio in her magic. "no time to explain!" she exclaimed. The trio turned and saw Terry, Spiny and Tank behind them. "Gah! What is going on here?!" Celestia cried.

"Short version; I have two of the doctors personal dinosaurs and he's mad to get them back." Sapphire stated. The three adult sat on the Pachycephalosaurus as it ran for it's and their lives. "Can't this thing go any faster?!" Luna said, freaking out.

"He's going as fast as he can." Sapphire said. The Pachycephalosaurus was about ten feet in front of Terry, Spiny and Tank. Ursula took out a move card, "Volcano Burst!" Terry roared and launched a streamof fire on the ground at the Pachycephalosaurus. "Look out, Pachy!" The Pachycephalosaurus saw the attack coming and leaped high into the air and onto top of a building!

"Ah, it got away!" Zander said.

"Then for it to come back down!" Dr. Z exclaimed.

"Tank, smash that building!" Ed ordered. Tank roared and started smashing the bottom of the building with her tail. It smashing made the building shake a bit. The four friends held onto Pachycephalosaurus. That's when the D-Team showed up. "Oh no, Sapphire and the adults are in trouble." Max said. "Let's help them out."

Max and the others summoned their dinosaurs.

"Dino-Slash, Triceratops, Roar!"

"Dino-Slash, Carnatorus, Blow them away!"

"Dino-Slash, Spring up Parasaurolophus!"

Chomp, Ace and Paris roared and charged the three Alpha Gang dinosaurs. Paris rammed Tank away from the building. Sapphire and the three adults saw the battle below. "Woah.. cool." Celestia said.

Pachycephalosaurus roared. "Easy boy, you need to rest after running around with us on your back for a while."

Celestia turned to Sapphire, "Don't you have a dinosaur that can easily take care of the Alpha Gang?"

Sapphire took out the Therizinosaurus card. "Dino-Slash, Therizinosaurus, Claw them!"

The Therizinosaurus entered the battle and roared at the Alpha Gang. "Pay them back for what they did!" Therizinosaurus roared and his claws glowed with massive amounts of energy and it clawed all three of the Alpha Gang dinosaurs, making them crash to the ground and turned back into cards. "WAH?!" they all cried. The Alpha Gang picked up the cards and quickly ran away. "This isn't over!" Ursula exclaimed.

Pachycephalosaurus leaped down from the building with the adults and Sapphire on his back. Max and the others returned the dinosaurs to their cards. "Are you all alright?" Max asked.

"Yes, we're fine Max." Celestia said.

"Thank goodness." Zoe added.

Sapphire showed the team the Therizinosaurus card. "Alright, you got him." Max cheered.

"Yeah and I got him to trust me even after what Dr. Z did to it." Sapphire said.

"I'm guessing he's another genertacally changed dinsoaur?" Celesto guessed. Sapphire nodded.

"Artificially strengthening a dinosaur the way they do is very dangerous and irresponsible." Celesto said.

"Yeah, for one thing, your own dinosaur might decide to turn against you." Max joked. "Serves the old geezer right."

"You can say that again!" Zoe said before they all laughed.
