A cheerful atmosphere filled Sanjo City as the snow continued to fall. Decorations were placed and lights were hung as they approached one of the most popular times of the year; Christmas
Charlie: merry Christmas everybody!
The Hazbin estate was all decorated for the season. Boy was Charlie exited for today. She had the whole night planned. Christmas songs, Christmas activities, she even made her own Christmas cookies
Blitzo: wow. Really exited for tonight Huh?
Charlie: are you kidding! This is my first Christmas in the human world! I CANT EAIT TO SEE THE GIFTS SANRA CLAUSE BRINGS!!!!
From the sidelines, Chomp, Ace, Tank, Terry were chasing each other around for fun.
Terry: Isn't she a little old for Santa?"
Ace: Well, he's supposed to give presents to children. But I think Dr. Charlie's childish enough to count.
Charlie: I hope the dinosaurs at the Hazbin lab are having as much fun as we are?
______
Utah: Left! No, right! No, my right!
The Pteranodons carried an important object.
Jet; I can't tell my lefts and rights!
Marlin: Aren't you supposed to be an ace flier?
Jet: It's not so easy to tell where you are when you're not in a fight! Hang on! I think we got it!
He and his partners flew up a little more before the tree they were moving landed right in the hole that was dug by Guru and the other sauropods.
Jet: Tree in place, ma'am!
Utah: Perfect. Everything's going along smoothly.
Pawpaw: What's going on?
Marlin: They're putting up a Christmas tree, kid.
Pawpaw: Christmas tree? But it looks like a normal conifer tree
Utah: That's because we haven't decorated it yet.
Utah closed her book and walked back to the tree.
Utah: Okay, Decoration Squad, go!
With bursts of wind, Ally used Mayfly and Meg used Ninja Attack to splatter paint all over the tree. At the same time, Gertie and Charles worked on putting different ornaments on the top part of the tree while Thorn and Lucky did the same for the lower half. Pawpaw watched as they decorated the tree and was still confused.
Pawpaw: Why are you messing up that tree?
Ally; We're not messing it up, we're decorating it.
Ally grabbed another brush before using Mayfly again.
Iguano: Pawpaw does have a point, why are we decorating this tree?
Utah: Why!? To celebrate Christmas!
Guru: Utah, calm down.
Dino: No need to go all perfectionist on us. Doing it by the book always ends badly
Sue: This isn't a ninja fight.
Danno: The rules still apply, dumbo.
Sue. Dumbo?!
Sue m she growled and started having another sisterly fight with Danno, rolling all around the lab.
Teddy: Whoa! Whoa!
Teddy quickly ran over and gently pulled the two of them apart from each other with his claws before they seriously hurt themselves.
Teddy: Girls, it's Christmas. This isn't the time for fighting.
Diamond: The whimp's got a point. Just chill
Rocko: Okay. I think you dudes and dudettes need to tell us now what the heck this Christmas is.
Delta: I remember hearing that it was about this Jebus guy's birth.
Utah: It's more than that. It's a time of coming together and celebrating.
Ally: And getting free stuff from an old, fat guy!
This got everyone's attention.
Coal: You serious?!
Coal and several others walked over to learn more.
Ally: Yeah, apparently this Sandy Claws breaks into your house on Christmas Eve-
Utah: Guys, we have a schedule to keep if we want this celebration to happen tonight!
Utah impatiently taps her toe claw, but everyone else was too distracted by the tales of Christmas.
Utah: alright, I guess I could use a break.
(Intro theme)
Like always, the mood at Zeta Point was the exact opposite of the one the Hazbin squad was experiencing. When they learned it was Christmas Eve, Rod and Laura locked themselves in their room, turned off the lights, and pulled up the video of them saying goodbye to their parents.
Rod: Come on, Laura.
Laura: OK! Bye, Mommy and Daddy!
Father: You two behave yourselves at Grandpa's.
Mother: Have a good time, kids. We'll see you both tonight.
Laura: OK! See you later! Ha, ha!
The screen then changed to show a hatch opening up in an enormous aircraft. As they went through the loading dock, the camera turned back to show their parents waving.
Parents: Goodbye, kids!
And the video ended.
Once it did, Rod pulled out the remote and replayed the video. As they rewatched the video for possibly the hundredth time, tears started to form in their eyes and slide down their cheeks. With no way of contacting their parents, this was the only way they'd be able to see them this Christmas.
______
In the dining room, Helga dragged the A-Team by their collars, the duo being thrown around like balloons, before she tossed them all at the table with bowls of food already waiting for them. Dr.Z was already at the table eating some instant noodles.
Helga: Eat up! There will be no skipping of meals in this household of mine! For dinner, we have motor oil stew!
She threw random foods into a boiling pot.
The trio tensed and whimpered as they could already taste death.
Zander; Aren't you going to do something about Helga? Even if we survive her throwing us around, she's gonna kill us with her cooking! Yes?
Dr.Z looked up from his noodles and didn't look the least bit terrified.
Dr Z; Nonsense. She may have a few blown fuses and crossed some wires when she broke, but she's harmless.
Ed: Now she's going after the produce!
Zander: Yesterday I saw her head spin completely around. I'm positive it shouldn't do that.
Dr Z: She may have taken a few too many volts and cracks to the brain, but she's a devoted servant and would never hurt us. Isn't that right, Helga?
Helga turned around and looked at the doctor questionably.
Helga: Who are you?
Dr.Z was shocked his own creation didn't recognize him.
Dr Z: Helga! I'm the one who first jump-started your heart!
Rod and Laura entered the room and Helga noticed them.
Helga: Und who are you kids?
Rod: Your boss. Get back to the kitchen and make chocolate cake.
He might as well try to have some fun this Christmas.
Helga: Yes, Boss.
Zander: And I'm a nutritionist.
Ed; President of the United States.
But Helga wasn't fooled and shoved a melon down Zander's throat.
Helga: Here's something low carb for you, Zander!
She then ended with forcing Ed to drink her soup.
Helga: Und you, Ed, couldn't be in charge of tying your shoes!
She then left while the Alpha Gang still had food stuck in their mouths.
Zander: Well, apparently we're very memorable.
Dr.Z groaned at the failures he calls minions before turning to Rod and Laura.
Dr Z: Hmm? Are you kids hungry?
Rod: Um, well...
Laura: Actually, we were wondering about Christmas.
Rod: It's probably no use. Never mind, Grandpa.
Dr Z: I know what you two really want. You want to go out on another mission, don't you?
Laura: A mission?
Dr Z: I need someone to get all the dinosaur cards, or at least most of them, back from that wretched Hazbin squad to even the playing field, and a couple of kids would be the perfect undercover agents to send. Right?
Zander: That's right! Ed and I are just the undercover kids that you need. A cute young girl and her two little friends!
Dr.Z was not amused by this poor attempt at a joke.
Dr Z: You can forget it! You two had your chances and messed up every time, which caused this whole mission in the first place!
The duo shrunk from their boss's scolding and looked down in defeat as he turned to his grandkids.
Dr Z: Laura and Rod, you go and take Brontikens and the others with you, okay?
Rod and Laura beamed in excitement. This might be their chance to return home after all.
Rod: Thanks, Grandpa!
Laura: You can count on us
_____
About a half-hour later, the kids were flying over the snowy Sanjo City in their Alpha Craft.
Rod: Look at all the snow.
After being in the South Pacific for over a year, it was still a little shocking to see snow falling again.
Laura; It sure feels like Christmas here, doesn't it? Wow! Look at that great big Santa down there.
Rod: Big deal. It's just a big statue.
Laura: You normally love looking at Christmas decorations.
Rod: In case you've forgotten, we're not here for fun. We're here for a mission.
_____
Back at the hazbin estate, the dinosaurs all had on little reindeer antlers like Paris and Spiny.
Terry; Why do I have to be Rudolph?
Chomp: Why are you complaining about being the most famous of the reindeer?
Terry; Because this red nose itches.
What none of them realized was that Rod and Laura were watching from behind a shrub in the backyard and listening in through the screen door on the patio.
Laura: They're having so much fun.
Rod grunted in frustration.
Rod: We'll put a stop to that.
Laura: Huh?
Rod: As soon as they leave the house, we'll break in and steal back the dinosaur cards.
Laura: Sort of like Santa Claus in reverse.
What neither of them knew was that none of the other dinosaurs were in the house. They were all at the Lab, continuing preparations for the holiday party.
Kui: How's the food coming along?
Kui walked over to the kitchen where Sweet Tooth, Francine, and Comet were working on the food for the banquet.
Francine: We have a few setbacks, but everything else is going perfectly.
Francine carried a tray of dinosaur-sized cookies to the buffet table with her horns.
Kui: What kind of setbacks?
Sweet tooth: Let's just say that someone can't seem to wait like everyone else.
Ally: Was it Ally?
Francine: No, she's working on something else in secret. Something involving missiles.
Kui: Then who's causing the setbacks?
Kui looked to see who Sweet Tooth was glaring at. What he saw was Sushi being pinned to the wall by Comet.
Sushi: Just one more bite, please!
Comet: You already made us have to replace that seafood once!
Comet struggled to keep the Suchomimus against the wall with her constantly bitting and scratching his frill.
Comet: Does anyone have a tranquilizer?
Back with the Hazbin squad Stolas took the opportunity to head over to the bakery for some Christmas shopping before the stores closed with Rod and Laura following him in secret
Laura: so we're gonna capture that talking owl grandpa told us about?
Rod: No, we're not gonna capture him. We're just gonna distract him, and then you have to try and keep her from going back home for a little while. Then I'll lure Charlie and the others out of the house and sneak back in and get the cards.
Laura: Yeah, but-
Rod: What's the matter with you, Laura? All we're doing is getting back the dinosaur cards that Grandpa, Spectre, and Dr. Ancient created and returning them to where they belong!
Laura: Yeah, but it feels wrong.
Rod: So I guess you're saying that you don't wanna go back to Mom and Dad?
Laura: No, of course, I do. I want that more than anything.
Rod: Then let's do what we have to do.
Rod looks ahead of the wall and seeing Stolas walking out of the bakery.
Rod: come on. There she is now.
With the snap of a finger, an Alpha Scooted appeared next to them and they hopped on.
Stolas hummed as she walked home, oblivious to being followed. Rod and Laura quietly stalked her for a bit before Rod cranked up the speed and zoomed right past him, grabbing the cake in the process
Stolas: hey! Come back here with that cake!
He then chased after them, not knowing it was two kids.
he continued chasing them until she lost sight of them near a Japanese arch.
"Lose something?"
Looking at one of the poles of the arch, she saw Rod and Laura emerge with the cake.
Stolas: Oh, there you are.
Rod: If you want your stupid cake back, you'll have to come over here and get it.
What they didn't expect was for Stolas to walk over to them without any fear.
Stolas: My, my. You really are quite the little naughty ones
To their surprise with a wave of his hand the cake actually levitated out of their hands
Stolas: you do realize that this is no way to behave. Especially around Christmas
Rod and Laura just looked at each other blankly. Clearly, this goetia wasn't like the rest of the Hazbin squad.
Rod: Yeah, I guess so
Stolas: ya know, perhaps maybe a visit to my humble abode may help you back in touch with the Christmas spirit
Rod: Well, yeah I guess that's okay.
This would make the mission harder since the Hazbin squad would now know what they're trying to do, but saying no would make Stolas suspicious and she might call the cops on them.
StoldSo, you're Rod and you're Laura, right?
Laura: Right.
Stolas: well, Charlie had told me much about you. And I do mean much, considering your...alpha gang children
Rod and Laura gasp. He knew?! Then again of course he knew, he met them first hand when he rescued the Hazbin squad from zeta point
Stolas: now, once we arrive, I expect both of you to be in your best behavior. Or I'll arrange you a meeting with Cerberus. Understood?
Rod and Laura nod swiftly as they heard plenty about the guard dog of hell
Stolas squints seriously as he leads the way with the children silently following
______
When Stolas returns to the estate, all of the hazbin squad's mouths dropped open, and loona started growling like a wild animal
Stolas; it's only for the night. And they'll be off imforst thing in the morning. And don't you worry. I'll make sure their on their most acceptable behavior
His eyes glow a demonic red making Rod and Laura tremble. Making Blitzo loona and some of the dinosaurs chuckle. Meanwhile Charlie found the time to call beta
Beta: so the alpha kids are at your estate?
Charlie: yep, but with Stolas around, they'll be no trouble. Can't say the same when he leaves soon. So there's no need to panic...right away anyway
Beta. Given how everyone's so busy with this party, I'd hate to see it all ruined because of those two brats. See you tonight.
____
Helga. Vork, vork, vork.
Helga dusted Dr.Z's bookshelves, knocking books off of the shelf in the process.
Helga: So many messes to clean.
She exited to the next room via the wall, leaving Dr.Z behind to clean up the actual mess.
Dr Z: My poor books.
He them all up before something fell out of one of them, a card.
Dr Z: Huh?
Picking it up, he noticed that it was gold-colored. Turning it around he saw a picture of a periwinkle carnivore with black spots forming a stripe from the face to tail, with two markings on the legs, and one on the forehead that lead to the black spines on the back.
Dr Z: Well, look at that. It's my dear old Megalosaurus. Forgot all about you. I had high hopes for this one, but he was just too violent." He recalled all the times the Megalosaurus would tackle into him as a child, and all the objects he destroyed.
Dr Z: He meant well but played too rough. And once he was an adult, well, he was uncontrollable.
An adult Megalosaurus at Dr.Z roared before he was returned to his card and it lifelessly fell to the ground.
Dr Z: You bad boy.
He opened one of his books and placed the card inside.
Dr Z: You're going up on the shelf for a while to think about all the things that you've done.
Dr Z: And the timing for this one couldn't be more perfect.
Dr.Z smiled as he placed the card in the Alpha Controller.
_____
Back at the Hazbin Lab, Beta told Toro about Rod and Laura's plan and told him to be on guard duty. Of course, he would need some help to guard such a large event. So he brought in Lola and Salty to help. But since they still had time before the party, Toro decided to whip his friends into shape.
Toro: That's it! Very good! Squat down with me! And sound off!
"One-two! Two-two! Three-two! Four-two!"
The three of them chanted as they all did squats the best way dinosaurs could.
Toro; Excellent! Repeat after me; I am all powered! Even the hardest of diamonds shatter!
"I am all powered! Even the hardest of diamonds shatter!"
Toro; I am the muscle! Whose big fortitude in masculinity titillates all women!
"I am the muscle! Whose big fortitude in masculinity titillates all women!"
Lola: Wait, what?
Salty: He probably meant it as a figurative term.
Toro: I am the man! The treasured creature all should look up to and respect!
"I am the man! The treasured creature all should look up to and respect!"
Though Lola was still confused.
Toro chuckled at the energy.
Toro: I think we're done here. As you know, Beta assigned us with the important duty of guarding our holiday celebration. So we all need to be in tough form if any of those Alpha Gang villains show their ugly faces!
Lola: Best thing I've heard all day.
Salty: Just don't get too excited. We don't need you two hurting yourselves.
Futaba: Do Futaba have part in this?
Futaba suddenly appeared in between Salty and Lola in his puddle
Lola: The hell did you come from?
Futaba: Sure me could be use.
Toro hopped off the rock he was standing on and inspected the plesiosaur.
Toro: Hmmm, that depends. Does the earth shake beneath your feet?
Futaba: I no have feet.
Toro; Does anyone respect you?
Futaba; I have friend. I main do this.
He charged up a Super Cannon and fired, accidentally hitting a napping Trooper.
Futaba: Oops.
Toro: Hmm. I think this could work.
______
Back at Zeta Point, the Alpha Gang were checking in on Rod and Laura's mission with a scout that D.R.O.I.D programmed to check the D-Team's residence.
D.R.O.I.D: Dr.Z, the Alpha Droid scout we sent out is beaming back footage from the house of that D-Team.
The screen changed from static to live cam.
In the shrubs of the hazbin estate, an Alpha Droid, wearing green to blend in, began to scan the house.
Droid: Searching.
It said as its eyes glowed red and recorded what it saw back to Zeta Point.
What it got was all of the Hazbin squad, plus Rod and Laura, having fun while they were eating cake. Brontikens was simply looking out the screen door, oblivious to the Alpha Droid.
Dr.Z looked at the footage in confusion.
For Z: What in the name of Seikatsu are they doing?!
Ed: Well, it looks to me like they're having a party.
Zander: Yes, a celebration with food and presents and a Christmas tree and everything.
Dr Z: Helpful as that was, Zander, when I need a definition of a party, I'll ask for it.
Zander: Oh, no. It looks like Rod and Laura may have gotten caught sneaking in.
Dr Z: Are they're being forced to eat cake?
Zander: I don't know. I guess this kind of thing is what happens when you send children out on a grown-up's mission.
Dr.Z looked at his Megalosaurus card and glared at her.
Dr Z: Fine. I'll give you two clods one more chance to fix it! Take this!
Zander: Wow! So where did this one come from? I thought we didn't have any other cards lying around.
Dr Z: You want it or not?
Zander: Yes! Yes, I'm sure this one will come in handy
Ed: No more homework! No more stew! No more Helga's nasty food!
Dr Z: You two just better bring those cards and my grandkids back here safe and sound!
"Count on us!"
_____
Meanwhile Stolas was making extra sure Rod and Laura were behaving themselves, but they could definitely see there was no warm reception, not even from vaggie
Terry: I'm with vaggie. This is Just what I needed. More time with him.
He glared at Brontikens, who hasn't even touched his cake.
Paris: This is probably a very hard time for him, Terry.
Terry: I bet it is. All this friendly attitude must be killing him.
Paris shook her head at his harshness.
Paris: Jeez, you're sounding like Blitzo. I mean that the theme of Christmas might be bringing back some bad memories.
Terry looked at her in confusion.
Terry: What're you talking about?
Paris: He's no doubt going to be mad if I tell you, but Brontikens himself told me this when I talked to him at Zeta Point.
Paris whispered into Terry's ear what Brontikens told her about his past.
_____
Mia: No. No. No.
Mia constantly looked over the various Christmas songs.
Iguano: Anything wrong, Mia?
Mia: Just trying to find a good song for me to sing at the party. No. No.
Iguano: Have you maybe tried making your own song?
Mia: The closest thing we have to an original song we have is that.
She pointed to Bali, Hana, Lucky, Thorn, the Saurolophus, and Nessie standing around a fire, singing Christmas carols.
All: Carols! Carols! Carols! Carols!
All except Nessie.
Nessie; I'm pretty sure just singing the word carols over and over isn't what Utah meant when she said to sing Christmas carols during our free time while the others worked.
Thorn: Wait, this isn't our break?
The others nodded in confirmation.
Thorn: Shit! Lucky, we still need to practice with the instruments!
Lucky: No need to remind me!
They both bolted backstage.
Iguano: I'm assuming they're supposed to be supplying the background music?
Mia: Yes. Though they were supposed to also be watching Shep at this time!
Romeo: Don't worry about your son, Mia.
Romeo and Juliet walked over to her with Shep hiding under their legs.
Romeo: We're keeping an eye on him.
Mia: Thank you.
The two of them walked away.
Nessie: As I was asking, what's the use of these stupid lyrics?
Bali: Because it's fun!
Nessie: It's stupid.
Bali: And fun!
Bali grabbed a reef that was hanging on one of the trees and put it around the Amargasaur's neck.
Bali: You really need to cheer up, it's Christmas!
Nessie: I see nothing cheery about this holiday.
Iguano: Okay, I see your point about our songwriting. But there has to be some song that could work.
Mia. I've looked all over these Christmas songbooks, and I've found nothing!
Iguano: Why don't you try thinking outside the book?
Mia: Thinking outside the book? Wait, that's it!
She quickly ran off as she remembered hearing a song from a Christmas special once that would work perfectly. The main problem would be getting the words right
_____
At the hazbin estate, everyone was enjoying a well deserved Christmas dinner. Thankfully no one has started any fighting. Besides, who could of one of you are dating an anthropomorphic owl that could turn you to stone just by looking into your eyes and is so powerful he can even possess the dead?
Meanwhile Rod notices something on the table by the door.
Rod: Hmm?
Squinting his eyes, he saw it as one of the Dino Holders, most likely Millie's. He was starting to get an idea, but quickly shook his head to get the nasty plot out of his thoughts.
As all that went on, Brontikens was still looking out the glass window, watching the snow fall.
Terry: You gonna eat that?
He looked and saw Terry standing next to him, looking down at his cake.
Brontikens: Knock yourself out.
Brontikens pushes the plate away from himself.
Terry sat down and began eating the cake.
Terry: What're you thinking about?
Brontikens: What's it to you?"
Terry: I'm just curious.
Brontikens sighed and looked out the window.
Brontikens: I'm assuming the only reason you're here is because the Parasaurolophus told you what I told her back at the island. Otherwise, you'd try and stay as far away from me as possible.
Terry didn't say anything and looked out as well.
Terry: I lost my family at one point, too. My herd was passing through a canyon during a severe thunderstorm.
Various Cretaceous dinosaurs crossed a growing river as a storm continued. Terry was among them as he helped his mate across while carrying their offspring.
"My family made it across the river right before we all heard a loud noise approach us."
Various dinosaurs looked near the head of the canyon and saw a huge flash flood coming towards them.
"The largest flood I have ever seen was racing towards us. The herd began to panic and quickly started racing up the hill to high ground."
Terry tried to stay with his mate, while also holding onto his offspring. But a Styracosaurus bumped into him and caused the Tyrannosaurus to fall to the ground, his children falling off his back. Terry saw his kids and quickly got up to get them, but he was soon pushed away from them by a Saltasaurus.
Terry: No, wait! Stop! I have to help them!
Saltasaurus: It's every dinosaur for themselves!
The Saltasaurus contiued on running towards the top of the hill, dragging Terry with it, before the flood arrived where the herd was and carried many away to a watery grave.
"When the waters receded, we desperately searched for those who were lost. We found quite a few, both alive and dead, but none of them were my family."
Terry walked across the river as he looked frantically for his mate and children. But he had not found them after days of searching. He knew the herd could not stay around any longer and that they'd have to move on. He gave out a loud roar of sadness before he started breaking down, Chomp walking over to comfort him.
Terry: That was the last I ever saw of them.
Brontikens: I'm sorry that happened to you.
Terry: I lost everything that day. But instead of giving in to despair, I held onto hope. Hope that my future would get better. And considering how I met Charlie and everyone else, and survived the extinction, I think it has.
Terry finished the cake and left Brontikens to ponder what he just said
______
Later after Stolas was preparing to leave, Rod and Laura suddenly vanished without a trace
Charlie: where are those kids?
Blitzo: gone for good I hope
That's as when Millie saw her Dino holder was gone
Millie: my Dino holder!
Ursula fumes
Ursula: why those little brats! Their gonna pay for Messing with my friends!
______
Rod and Laura continued on running away back to their craft with Millie's Dino Holder.
Laura: Ha, ha, ha! That worked out well!
Rod: Yeah! And I think when he sees this, Grandpa will finally repair the time machine for us!
Laura: Then we'll finally get to go home to see Mom and Dad again!
Rod: Yep!
Unfortunately for them, their plans had a bit of a setback.
Charlie: Hold it, you two!
They look to see the Hazbin squad behind them
Millie: Give me back my Dino Holder, you thieving thieves!
Laura: Here they come, Rod.
Rod: I guess they wanna play.
Rod recalled Brontikens and brought out Gigas' card.
ALPHA SLASH!
The three Alpha Dinosaurs appeared and blocked the D-Team's path. Seeing they'd have to battle to get Zoe's Dino Holder back, Max and Rex quickly grabbed their own dinosaurs.
DINO SLASH!
GO, TRICERATOPS! ROAR!
FLAME UP, TYRANNOSAURUS!
CARNOTAURUS, BLOW THEM AWAY!
SHAKE 'EM UP, SAICHANIA!
MAKE THEM PAY TRICERATOPS!
The five dinosaurs appeared and immediately selected their individual opponents for the fight.
Rod: We can't lose this one!
Laura. We have to win so we can get back home!
Terry roared as he went for Brontikens. The Apatosaurus responded by swinging his neck, which Terry blocked with his body as the two of them tried to knock the other one over.
Terry, And to think I actually took pity on you!
Terry started biting on his neck as well.
Brontikens. That was your mistake!
Brontikens lightly raised his neck, forcing Terry to let go to keep his footing.
On the other end, Gigas was repeatedly hitting Chomp on the face with his tail. He gave one final swing and went Chomp flying, at the same time Armatus tackled Ace away. The two of them rolled until they crashed into the Santa statue.
Charlie: Chomp!
Angel dust: Ace!
Ace: We're OK. But not so much the statue.
He was referring to the fact that he was now dressed like Santa while Chomp hand on reindeer antlers.
The rest of the Hazbin squad couldn't help but laugh.
Blitzo: It's Dino Claus and his reindeer Chomp!
Angel dust: All right, guys, let's send 'em all home for the holidays! Mayfly!
Ace roared before he went for Armatus, only to disappear. Having never seen Mayfly in action before, Armatus was confused.
Armatus: Where'd he go?
Ace: Right here!
Ace suddenly attacks the Stegosaurus from all sides and defeating him.
Tank: Spike Arrows!
Tank's tail glowed before spikes started shooting at armatus, hitting him before she had a chance to escape and defeating her.
Charlie: Plasma Anchor!
Chomp grabbed Gigas with an anchor of electricity, lifted him into the air, and slammed him back to the ground, carding him once the anchor disappeared.
Terry: Heat Eruption!
Terry roared to the sky as tons of meteors started falling from it and landing right on Brontikens. The Apatosaurus gave out a roar of pain from the fire caused by the meteors before finally getting defeated when one landed directly on top of him.
Rod and Laura: Huh?
Rod and Laura gasped as their dinosaurs got defeated so easily by the D-Team's new Move Cards.
"Yo-hoo!"
Turning around, Rod and Laura saw Zander and Ed running towards them.
Ed: The A-Team is here now, so we'll take care of this!
Zander held up the card. Due to not having a scanner, they'd have to use the bright Christmas lights to summon their new weapon. She held up the card and it caught the lights, and immediately started to glow.
Zander: We've brought a Christmas present for you!
A rainbow light engulfed them all.
When the light disappeared, there was a Time Warp and the Megalosaurus was out
He roared as he landed on the ground, his shine disappearing, and an Alpha Ball flew around his head to signal he was under Alpha Gang control.
Blitzo: Oh hell yeah! A Megalosaurus!
Millie: Look at all those colors.
Charlie: He must be another Secret Dinosaur
The Megalosaurus immediately charged at them, smashing all the rocks in his path. The Hazbin squads dinosaurs all charged toward him as well, but he went through them like a bowling ball and caused them all to fly into the air before landing on each other, thankfully for them largest to smallest.
The Megalosaurus started to glow again as he roared in anger. Looking up, everyone saw small meteors coming towards them.
Chomp: Please tell me this is just part of the battlefield!
Chomp looked at all the countless meteors.
Ace. Regardless of where they came from, run!
They got out of the way before one crashed on them all. The kids saw the same thing and hid under a rock to avoid getting killed.
The Alpha Gang did the same and looked at the Megalosaurus in fear. Despite being under the Alpha Controller's influence, it was as if he was still wild.
Zander; He seems a bit on the reckless side. Do you think he realizes that we're all on the same team?
Ed: I'm not gonna be the one to tell him
Zander, It would appear that Secret Dinosaurs would be harder to brainwash than normal ones. Too bad we had to find that out the hard way.
The meteor shower stopped and the Megalosaurus glowed again. He locked eyes on Terry and Ace and began to use his Super Move on them. The two carnivores got engulfed in a rainbow glow and were starting to get lifted into the air.
Terry: What's happening?!
Terry tried to get out of the grasp, but to no avail.
Ace: He's using Zero G Throw! This is going to hurt a lot!
The Megalosaurus lifted them higher and higher until the glow disappeared. The two theropods fell to the ground and were carded the second their backs made contact.
Angel dust: No way!
Charlie: Don't worry. Chomp and Maximus will get him. Ursula?
Ursula nods as they both get their move cards
Ursula: spectral punisher!
Charlie: thunder bazooka!
Chomp and Maximus charged towards the Megalosaurus before chomp into the air and spinning around and crystals formed on Maximus horns as she charges preparing her laser. What no one expected was for the Megalosaurus to glow again, this time unearthing several large boulders and hurling them at Chomp and Maximus One of them collided with the Triceratops and knocked him away while another one slammed into Tank, causing her to slide across the ground before she was carded alongside Chomp.
Zander: Ha! That Gigantic Fall has just made it so victory is ours!
Zander pulled out the Grabbling Claw, unaware that the Time Warp was still active.
Ed; Victory!
The claw extended and grabbed the four cards of the D-Team.
Charlie; No!
Ursula: Maximus!
Blirzo: tanky!
They tried to stop the Alpha Gang from taking their partners.
But they noticed another meteor falling and stopped.
Charlie: Wait a second. Get back!
She quickly pulled angel dust and Ursula out of the way before it crashed. The meteor landed on the cord of the claw and caused it to snap, sending the claw over to the Hazbin squad and allowing them to grab their cards.
Out of the meteor leapt out Dino, Danno, and Sue as they hissed at the Megalosaurus. A boulder suddenly burst as Diamond revealed herself. And a bunch of trees were slashed away to reveal Teddy.
The Alpha Gang gasped in horror at the new Secret Dinosaurs that joined the battle.
Dino: Good thing Guru told us to go first when we got your call
Diamond: Let's send this guy back to the Jurassic period!
Diamond charged towards the Megalosaurus, making sure her dome head was blinding him so he couldn't use any Super Moves, and began hitting him repeatedly.
Diamond: He's all yours, wimp!
Teddy: Gyro Claw!
Teddy began spinning towards the Megalosaurus before hitting him into the sky with his claws, making the theropod crash on the ground.
Diamond: Here, have a sleigh ride!
Diamond pushed the sleigh from the statue towards the Megalosaurus. The sleigh caught the carnivore and sent him right into a large boulder.
Charlie. All right!
Millie. Look out!
Smaller, but still large, chunks of the boulder started raining down.
Alpha gang: They're coming down!
The Alpha Gang tried covering themselves, only for a rock to land almost on top of them and send them all flying into the air.
Duo: We're going up!
LRod and Laura screamed as they lost grip of everything they were carrying, including Millie's Dino Holder.
The Megalosaurus got back up, still able to fight, but very tired.
Dino: All right, sisters, let's finish this with Spinning Attack!
All three of them leapt into the air and started spinning towards the Megalosaurus. The Megalosaurus was able to dodge Danno and Sue, but Dino would have made contact if the Alpha Ball hadn't appeared in front of her. She spun on the ball until it was destroyed before she spun on the Megalosaurus until she had no spin left.
Dino: Finish him!
Dino pointed at the Megalosaurus, who was left dazed from both the attack and the Alpha Ball being destroyed.
Danno and sue: Crossing Attack!
The deinonychus made an X right through the Megalosaurus. The Megalosaurus stumbled a bit before he was finally defeated and returned to his card.
With his defeat, the Time Warp vanished.
Moxxie: That was a close one. But at least we won.
Charlie: The card!
They all went to grab it before the Alpha Gang could reclaim it.
Dino: Already taken care of.
Dino grabbed the card.
Charlie: Another dinosaur for our herd. Considering his attitude, I think Grumpy's an appropriate name.
Danno: We also have this thing.
Danno grabbed the broken claw of the Grabbling Claw.
Charlie: Awesome" And I even got Millie's Dino Holder back, too! Huh?
The two of them didn't even try to get any of the cards aside from their own. Instead, they were just dusting off the book that Stolas gave them.
Charlie's Really? You wanted that book more than the dinosaur card?
Rod: Huh? We'll be back to get those cards next time!
Zander: Ed, you tell Dr.Z that we didn't get the cards!And we didn't bring back Megalosaurus!
Ed: What about you?!
Zander: I'll tell him I didn't have anything to do with it!
____
We cut to the hazbin estate where the crew just finished telling Stolas about their battle with Stolas looking a bit disappointed
Stolas: I should've known they'd pull something like this...I really thought I could help them see the light...like Ursula did
Ursula: I took time feathers. The kids may do so too. But at least I gave them a taste of their own medicine
Stolas gives a small smile
Stolas: your on your way, cranky teenager
Ursula is suddenly shocked
Ursula: so that's what your gonna call me instead of old lady? That may be true but I'm not that cranky
Moxxie: I dunno. Your somewhat cranky
Ursula: well sorry but I'm still getting used to all this goodness stuff okay?
The group start laughing and eventually Ursula laughs alongside them

After the duo left, Rod decided to stay a little longer while Laura went back with them. At the moment he was currently walking around the town, looking at all the various Christmas decorations that were out.
"I thought I'd find you here."
Turning around, he saw Laura run up to him before she caught up with him and they started walking together.
Rod: I told you that I'd be fine with getting back.
Laura: Yeah, but I thought you might want the company
Merry Christmas. My song for you
They continued on walking together in silence, the only form of communication was the occasional tap of the shoulder to show the other some cool decorations they may have missed.
Laura: Why did you change your mind?
Rod: What'd you mean?
Negai ga kanau you ni
Laura: Rod, Back at the party, I saw you eye Millie's Dino Holder earlier, and I know that's when you got the idea. Why?
Santa kuroosu minna no machi
Rod sighed as they stopped at the spot where they had their battle, shaking the back of his head.
Rod: I guess I didn't want to take it at first because I saw how much fun they were all having together. And, it just felt wrong to steal from them on Christmas. The only reason I took it was because... I guess I just wanted to get back
Kite kudasai kitto
Rod. So it wasn't just so we can return home?
Rod nodded.
Laura: Why? Don't you want to see Mom and Dad again?
Merry Christmas. I sing. With you.
Rod: Of course I do. More than anything. But I've spent time away from home before when it came to school-related stuff. You haven't experienced that feeling before. I guess, I wanted to be a good brother and give you the Christmas present of seeing our parents again when I got the idea.
Negai ga kanatta nara
Tears started to fall out of Laura's eyes before she hugged her brother. Rod returned the hug and patted his sister on the head.
Rod: Merry Christmas, Laura.
Te to te tsunagi tenshi ni naru
Laura: Merry Christmas, Rod.

At the Hazbin lab, the rest of the dinosaurs were finally able to have the holiday party. The Hazbin squad were having fun with the rest of their herd-mates. Majority of them were listening to Mia's singing, with Lucky on Guitar, one that he was able to play, and Thorn using a drumstick in his mouth to play the drums.
Mabataku hikari de
Romeo and Juliet lifted up Shep so he could see his mother sing.
Kikazatta yureru tsurii
Among the crowd watching was Terry.
Kyanadoru no honoo
Terry felt something brush against his face. Something plant-like.
Mabushikute me wo hosometa
Looking to his side, he saw that it was a mistletoe attached to a blue tail dangling lightly over him.
Inori no kotodama sukui no te no hira
Looking down, he saw Ally crouching down playfully before giving Terry a wink.
Sekaijuu no daremo ga
A flustered Terry slowly backed away before running off, leaving a pouting Ally behind.
Mattre iru no
Mia winked at Iguano, who blushed in return.
Kono hi dake no mahou
Utah gave Grumpy the signal to start levitating the rocks he painted.
At the same time, the song reached the cue for Hana to swing her tail and ring some bells attached to it.
Merry Christmas. My song for you
The gang and various dinosaurs; including Beta, the guards, Pawpaw, Bali, and even Trooper and Nessie, clapped and roared at the performance.
Negai ga kanau you ni
At the buffet table, Sushi was dining on the sushi while Francine and Comet unknowingly shared a leaf until they both came to the end of it and touched beaks.
Santa kuroosu minna no machi
Guru nodded at Grumpy, giving him the cue to drop the boulders.
Kite kudashi kitto
Sweet Tooth and Coal fired their Fire Cannons at the boulders, creating fireworks with each one that made contact.
Merry Christmas. I sing with you.
Chomp and Paris lay next to each other as they watched the fireworks.
Negai ga kanatta nara
The rest of the Hazbin squad joined them laid down beside them.
Te to te tsunagi tenshi ni naru
All of them watched the fireworks together.
Kagayaite umare kawaru yo
At Zeta Point, Seth stood on a cliff and looked up at the night sky.
Seth; I will someday seize control of that harmony.

Next time
Beta: How do I talk to him?
Trooper: You could try the mating dance
(Beta doing awkward dances in front of Ace)
Trooper: I was joking!
Salty: You ate Hanna!
Coal: What're you talking about?
Terry: Ally, this joke about you liking me is getting old!
Ally: But it wasn't a joke
Guru: Okay, Spiny. Let's see where you are.
A little bit of a treat for you Christmas lovers. the idea for the holiday party was something that was planned for this episode. Allows me to use characters that I haven't used much of before. The song that was at the end is Tenshi no Inori from Digimon. The full version is able to be found on YouTube. A lot of scenes were also inspired by the Smash King Winter Festival, also on YouTube.
As for the battle of Secret Dinosaurs, again, planned. That's actually part of the reason why I cut Diamond from the last chapter. And, yes, Grumpy got his name from Land of the Lost.
See you next time
