Starfleet Season 2 (Rewrite)

The Alpha Gang were running away with Spiny right behind them. Ursula had Ed and Zander in head locks. "Waahhhh! Stay away!" she cried. Blitz was charging them with Electric Charge. He hit Spiny and tossed him into the air. "Don't fall on us Spiny, we're on your side!" she cried. Spiny landed on them and he turned back into a card. Ursual, Zander and Ed were reduced to pancakes. "We blew it again." The Alpha Gang said as they flew away.

When they reported about their loss back to Dr.Z, he was a thrilled as he always was. Which was not at all. "You failed!? How did you botch up this fool-proof plan?!" The plan was to summon their dinosaurs in a random location and wait for the D-Team to arrive before they jumped them and took all their cards. Unfortunately, the kids were able to figure out it was a trap and were ready for the ambush. As a result, they were able to defeat Brontikens and really exhaust the other dinosaurs which lead to their retreat. "You three blockheads do absolutely nothing for me! Why do I bother keeping you around?!"

The Alpha Gang, who were still paper-thin, sucked in a big breath of air before they inflated back to normal. "Oh! Well, that's because we-" Ursula started to say before Dr.Z cut her off.

"Augh! I wasn't really asking!" He decided it was time to punish them harshly after failing 29 times in their feud with the D-Team. "You three are in the doghouse, so now you can act like dogs!"

"Dogs? For real?" Ursula asked.

"The lovable kind, right?" Zander asked before Dr.Z kicked him into the wall. "Unh!"

"The kind that bark!" Dr.Z replied before turning to the other two.

"Woof, woof wa-woof woof woof?" Ursula responded nervously.

"How long will you have to stay as dogs?" Dr.Z replied, making Ursula nodded to confirm his correct guess. "Until I decided whether to keep you or not."

"Woof woof?!"

"Shake!" Dr.Z commanded as he stuck his hand out, deciding to test them.

"Rowf!" Ursula responded by putting her "paw" on his hand, feeling completely embarrassed as she did so.

"Now speak!" Dr.Z ordered Ed.

"Owowwoooo!"

"Sit up and beg!" He told Zander, who sat up and started whimpering. "At least as dogs you obey orders." He told the trio, making them whimper in response out of shame and embarrassment.

"Rar! Rar rar rar rar!" Ursula barked as she got up in Dr.Z's face.

"How long until you get to be people again?" Dr.Z responded. "Not until you finally succeed in collecting some of those dinosaur cards. Until then, it's dog chow in the dog house!" He yelled at them, making the trio howl in sadness.

True to Dr.Z's words, the trio were made into dogs. The mad scientist even got everyone else to do the same for them. This was especially shown during lunch time when Helga, their cook, brought everyone at the table a large banquet of food. "Looks delicious, Helga!" Dr.Z said as he looked at all the food she prepared. "Bon appetit!" He And his grandkids, Rod and Laura, cheered before they started eating their food.

The trio were off the the side of the table, each with their own dog bowl. "You three will be enjoying a special menu from now on." Helga told them as she dropped a bone in each of their bowls.

"Huh?" The trio gasped before whimpering.

"Bones are not only high in nutrition, they'll keep your coats nice and shiny." Helga explained to them as they chewed on the bones.

"And Grandpa has us build you each your very own doghouse out in the backyard, too." Rod added.

"Sort of like a beach house without the beach." Laura told them. The trio just continued whimpering.

DK

"What?! We're supposed to live in these things?!" Ursula exclaimed once they saw the doghouses, which looked like they couldn't even fit in them.

"Shh! We're only allowed to woof and bark, remember?" Zander warned her as Ed checked out the doghouses.

"Who cares?"

"Guys! These doghouses are great!" Ed told them.

"What?!" Ursula exclaimed, almost thinking he'd gone off the deep end after all the torture.

"He's right, Ursula." Zander said as he looked into one. "It's nice in here. There are even doggie jammies for us to wear."

"Huh. You're right!" Ursula said as she looked into her own doghouse.

"And dog biscuits! My favorite kind!" Ed exclaimed as he crawled in.

"The little bed is so cute." Ursula said a she crawled into hers to lay down.

"There's a TV, too." Zander added as he crawled in.

"You know, some paint and new curtains, and this could be nice!" Ursula said

"Now this is a dog's life!" Zander declared.

Once he said that, the doors behind them closed. "Hey, who shut the door?" Ursula yelled as she banged the door. "Open up!"

"I'm locked in!" Zander exclaimed. "Help!"

"Turn on the lights! It's dark in here, I'm scared!" Ed pleaded.

"Did you think you were just going to lounge around in there?" Dr.Z asked from the other side. "I'm sending you to get dinosaur cards, and don't let me down!"

"Huh?" The trio exclaimed before the ground started shaking and they felt like they were being lifted into the air. "What's going on now?!" Ursula asked.

"This rocket has just enough fuel to get you to where the dinosaur card is, so once you crash, get to work!" Dr.Z ordered them.

"Crash?!" The trio exclaimed in horror. "Dr.Z! The Alpha Scanner?!" Zander reminded him.

"All right! Rod, throw!" Dr.Z told his grandson. Rod tossed and Alpha Scanner that was attacked to a small, metal airplane that hit Ursula in the back of the head. "Bring me back that card or don't bother coming back!"

"The fuel's gone! We're going down!" Zander exclaimed as the rocket approached its target. The rocket flew across Ayers Rocket before crashing landing.

As the rocket fell apart, Ursula could only groan. "Call Dr.Z. I have a bone to pick."

The force of the impact caused a nearby capsule to open up and for a card to be blown into the bushes, where it activated. The dinosaur was an ornithopod that looked a lot like Rocko. In fact, he looked almost exactly like him, except he lacked the large nose and had a thumb spike. He was mostly white, white a large blue spot on its back that had little stripes going down the tail and covered most of his face and arms. This dinosaur was an Iguanodon.

When the Iguanodon appeared, he immediately noticed the trio lying in the crater. He walked over to Ursula and licked her face to wake her up. It managed to work and Ursula woke up and looked to see the Iguanodon looking down at her. She was so dizzy that she thought she was hallucinating and chuckled weakly before falling back into unconsciousness.

Meanwhile, Sapphire was playing with Blossom and Swift. She didn't need the crutch anymore but she was still laced under bed rest for the next three days. She tossed the ball to the other side of the room and Blossom and Swift went after it. Blossom grabbed the ball and brought it back to Sapphire. "Good girl."

Mykan came in to see how she was doing, "Hey Sapphire, how are you feeling?" Blitz came up to the bed and licked Sapphires' face.

Sapphire sighed. "Okay overall, just bored."

"Well, don't worry, just a few more days of bed rest and you'll be back in action." Mykan reassured with a smile. Sapphire smiled back at her boyfriend. That's when the dino bracer went off flashing. "Another dinosaur!" Mykan cried.

"Where?" Sapphire asked.

"It looks like New Apoloosa. Time to go to work you guys." Mykan ran out the door with Blitz, Blossom and Swift following him.

Back in New Apoloosa, the Alpha Gang woke up and walked with all their strength to find any water. "Where in the world are we?" Ursula asked as she used a stick as a cane.

"Well, it's hot enough, but it could be Death Valley, too." Ed responded, wiping off his sweat with a cloth.

"The Alpha Scanner showed New Apoloosa before we crashed, but now it doesn't work." Zander said as he showed the Alpha Scanner was nothing but static.

"That's just great. So now we can't even call for help." Ursula grumbled. "Not like any of those bastards care enough about us to come save us anyway!"

"Gigas and the others care." Ed reminded her. He was right as the dinosaurs were the only ones to show them sympathy while they were dogs, though it was just looks of pity as they didn't want to anger Dr.Z.

"The Alpha Scanner doesn't work so we can't call them out." Zander reminded him. "And they're not even with us. We only have Terry in here."

"Well, that makes things better." Ursula said sarcastically. "Dr.Z's lapdog is sure to help us out."

"Ugh. I'm so thirsty I could drink a mud puddle!" Ed exclaimed as he started to slant back.

"Yeah? How about I buy you a soda at the next mini-mall?" Ursula suggested sarcastically before noticing something in their way. "A frilled lizard." She realized. "I've never seen one before."

"Maybe it knows where the mini-mall is." Ed said before it hissed at them and ran away.

The group was about to continue, but gasped when they saw a much larger lizard walk in their path. "And that's a monitor lizard! This place is crawling with creatures!" Ursula said.

"And each that goes by gets larger." Zander said as the monitor lizard left to make room for the Iguanodon that passed right by them. "Ohh!"

The trio were so weak they didn't even realized they just passed their target. "Wow, I guess it's true what they say. Everything in Australia is bigger." Ursula said.

"Too bad they're not bigger on drinking fountains." Zander said as they continued in walking.

"I know. I'm about to burst into flames." Ed told them.

"Yeah, and I'm starting to see things." Ursula said as she looked back at the mirage before realizing it was real. "Huh? That's not lizard!"

"It's an Iguanodon!" The men gasped.

The iguanodon noticed he got their attention and motioned for them to follow him. "Hmm?" Ursula wondering what it was doing

"Got a crick in its neck." Zander theorized.

"I think it's telling us to follow it." Ed suggested.

"What've we got to lose?" Ursula told them.

"Yeah, that's true." Zander and Ed replied as they followed the Iguanodon.

The trio continued on following the Iguanodon until they reached the location he was leading them, a large water hole. The trio's eyes widened when they saw where the Iguanodon lead them. "Oh! It's water!" Ursula gasped as she started crying. "Beautiful water! Ohh!" She exclaimed as they all jumped in. Once she landed in, Ursula immediately started splashing water all over herself. "Ha ha ha! Aah!"

"I could drink this whole thing!" Ed exclaimed as he drank as much water as he could carry while Zander swam past him.

The Iguanodon stepped into the lake and started having his own full of water. As he did, Ursula just watched him in silence. "Iguanodon, leading us here saved our lives. Thank you." She told the herbivore.

"Um, you don't think it was just a coincidence?" Zander asked as he floated by.

The Iguanodon decided to prove Zander wrong by giving Ursula a friendly lick. "Ha ha ha! Hey. Stop it. Ha ha ha! That tickles!" Ursula laughed before letting the Iguanodon on the snout.

"It does seem to be pretty attached to you, Ursula." Zander told her. "Maybe he thinks he thinks you're his mom or something." He guessed.

"Huh? Nah." Ursula replied before the Iguanodon started walking off. "Now where is he going?"

"Shouldn't we catch him before he leaves?" Ed suggested.

"Of course we should!" Zander yelled at the top of his voice. "We came here for a dinosaur, and here he is, so all we have to do is turn him into a card before the brats show up, and we could quit being the Doctor's dogs!"

"But how can we do that when the Alpha Scanner is broken and there's no way to get Terry or Spiny out here to fight with him?" Ursula asked, purposely not mentioning any alternate methods she thought of.

"You have a point there." Zander replied.

"I say we follow him." Ursula told them. "After all, he's brought us good luck so far." She said before getting out of the water and running after the Iguanodon. Once she caught up with him, she was able to jump onto his neck and ride him. "Well! Now isn't this nice?"

"Hey, that looks a whole lot better than walking!" Zander said as he and Ed watched Ursula ride the Iguanodon.

"Yeah! All aboard the Iguanodon!" Ed exclaimed before they ran up to get a lift, too. But when they tried to jump on, the Iguanodon simply reared up and made the two men crash into each other. "Ooh!/Ugh!"

"He says there's no room for you two." Ursula laughed as they two men rubbed their butts before chuckling as the Iguanodon gave a semi-smile. She was starting to like this guy.

At the island hideout the mood was anything but pleasant. "I've been trying to contact Ursula and those slackers for hours!" Dr.Z yelled as the screen just shows static by their names, indicating they had no signal. "Why won't they answer?!"

"I would appear that their Alpha Scanner has been damaged." Seth said. Seth was Dr.Z's assistant.

"What?!" Dr.Z exclaimed.

"And without it, they won't be able to capture any dinosaurs." Seth added.

"How typical of those numbskulls!" Dr.Z said angrily. "Going on a mission with a broken Alpha Scanner! When they come back this time around, they won't even get dog food! They'll get lower than dog food, they'll get lima beans-"

"You mean if they come back." Seth interrupted Dr.Z's tantrum.

"Huh?"

"The way you treat them, they may not return. I know that I wouldn't." Seth told him.

Dr.Z just looked around in horror as he realized they all had a point. "Hmm. You're all right. We'd better go after them." He said as he slumped over sadly before crying.

"What?"

"Eh, I've been too hard on them." Dr.Z said as he tried to hold back the tears. "I've got to bring them home."

"You told them not to come back without a dinosaur card, didn't you?" Seth reminded him.

Dr.Z tensed up as he remembered his threat. "Uh, yes, but who else would take in those three fools? Hmm?"

"You have a point there." Seth replied.

Meanwhile, Mykan and Lightning along with his friends arrived in Apoloosa. "Now where's that dinosaur?" Lightning asked.

"It could be anywhere around here." Starla said.

"Let's split up and search for it." Artie suggested.

The agreed. Mykan went with the girls and Spike while Lightning and the Space Alicorns went in their own group.

Meanwhile, the Alpha Gang continued on walking until they reached a main town in New Apoloosa. Well, Zander and Ed were walking, at least. "Oh, my aching feet." The two men said before they were swarmed by ponies.

"What is it?!"

"Never seen anything like it."

"We've never seen anybody riding atop a lizard before!" One of them told Ursula, amazed by her and the Iguanodon.

Ursula started to get embarrassed by all the attention. "Eh? It's not a lizard, you know. It's a-"

"Wow! They're lizard charmers!" Another person said, cutting her off. "Fantastic."

This just made Ursula confused. "We're what now? What? Huh?"

That's when Bareburn, Applejack's cousin came up to the three. "Howdy there, welcome to New Apoloosa."

"Oh. Well, thank you." Ursula responded.

"Come, please follow me." He said.

"Yeah?" Ursula replied as they followed the elder.

"You must be very tired after your long journey." He said as he lead them to Ayers Rock.

"Actually I feel great." Ursula commented.

"Of course you do." Zander and Ed grumbled.

Many others started climbing the rock to take part in the welcome party for Ursula and the Iguanodon, who she named Iguano. Zander and Ed, however, were given the short end of the stick. "Water for sale! Come and get your water!" Zander called out as he and Ed carried large boxes on drinks on their backs.

"Frozen tangerines and ice cream, too." Ed added.

Both men stopped and they sighed before Zander erupted with rage. "How did we get stuck selling stuff while Ursula gets treated like royalty?!" He screamed at the top of his lungs.

"It's not far!" Ed added in the same tone.

"Hey! Watch what you say about Ursula, mates!" A tough voice warned them. The two of them turned around to see two though looking stallion, cracking their knuckles at them. "Your boss lady told us you two rank below dogs and we can treat you any way we like."

"Aah!" The two of them screamed in horror.

"So if you're planning on living in this town, partners, then you should also plan on working." The other man said as they looked over to the field where Ursula and Iguano were having a banquet dedicated to them.

"We're living in this town?!" They exclaimed. "Did Ursula say that?" Zander asked them.

"Yeah, she's really quite amazing, she is!" One of the men told them. "And the way she communicates with that big lizard is beyond belief. With Ursula living in the town now, we're bound to always be safe. Now go on and sell your things!" He ordered the two before they walked off.

The two men could only start crying as now they have two ponies treating them as slaves. "I guess we don't have any choice." Zander cried. "Looks like we'll have to perform tricks for them or we won't get to eat."

"Like a couple of stray dogs." Ed added. "Slavery forever."

"Excuse me, could we have some water please?" Someone asked the two.

"Yes, sir!" The two of them beamed, putting on an act, before turning around. "How about some ice cream or fruit?" Ed asked before they saw that they were talking to Mykan and the girls

The duo gasped when they saw that their adversaries arrived as well. "It's the Alpha Gang !" Mykan cried. "So the dinosaur must be around here, right?"

"We don't know anything!" The two men quickly replied, shaking their hands. "No dinosaurs around here! Help!" They screamed as they threw of their boxes and ran as fast as possible. They continued on running until they realized they ran right off the rock. "Uh." They tried to run back, but they quickly fell from the sky and landed in a forest with a crash. As they twitched with their heads in the dirt, the Alpha Scanner fell out of Zander's pocket and suddenly started beeping again. "Hey! It's working again!" Zander exclaimed before they were crushed by the drink boxes.

As the sun began to set, Ursula was coaching Iguano as he moved rocks off the field. "Just a little bit more now!" She told him. "One big pull!" With one last tug, the Iguanodon was able to get the rock out of the ground. "Oh! That's the way!"

"Fantastic!" Bareburn cried.

"Thanks to you we can plant on this field!" The stallion next to him told Ursula.

"Aw. Don't thank me, thank my friend here!" Ursula replied with a smile. Iguano responded by giving a low growl before nuzzling his next with Ursula's. "Oh! Iguano, you're just a big softie, aren't you?" Ursula said as she pet his snout.

As they cuddled, Ursula began to reflect on a lot. "I never thought of them this way." She said quietly. "I always just say dinosaurs as cards, not loving, living creatures." The sun began to set and the two of them watch as Ayers Rock changed its color. "Maybe I'll stay here forever and never go back." She declared as she remembered the harsh words of Dr.Z.

"You're all dogs!"

"If I take you back to Dr.Z's laboratory, he would treat you even worse than he treats he three of us." She told Iguano. "Oh, you're definitely better off here." She said.

Suddenly, Iguano gave out a roar. "Huh? Oh." Ursula looked up and saw something coming straight for them at blinding speeds.

This turned out to be a rocket piloted by Seth. "What'd you think you're doing, Ursula!?" Seth asked her furiously.

"Seth, no!" Ursula cried out as he flew right past them, knocking villagers off their feet.

"Now that capture that dinosaur!" He ordered her.

"Wait! You don't understand!" She told him.

"Are you defying the Doctor's orders?!" He asked her as he turned around and prepared to strike again.

Time stood still for Ursula before she answered. "Yes, I am!" She answered with all her might. "I've decided that I'm going to stay right here! I've had enough of being treated like some kind of abused animal by Dr.Z! I'm never going back to that island again!"

"Ursula, do you really mean that?!" Zander and Ed asked in shock.

Ursula took a deep breath after outburst before turning away from the two of them. "You guys can go back if you want." She told them. "It's-it's up to you."

"I guess we have a choice to make." Zander told Ed.

"You choose. I always pick the wrong one." Ed told him before the rocket flew right past them again.

After this happening for quite a few times, Iguano started to panic and go on a rampage. "Stop that! Don't attack!" Ursula pleaded with Seth.

"If you're not going to do your job then I will!" Seth responded before firing two missiles at Iguano. The Iguanodon roared before he started to attack the villagers, destroy houses, before knocking over a large rock with his head.

"The lizard's gone mad!" A mare exclaimed.

"Do something, Ursula!" Another stallon told her.

OK." She replied before turning to Zander and Ed. "So don't just stand there! Do something and make me look good." She ordered them, not wanting to ruin her chance at a new life.

"OK. I have an idea." Zander said as he pulled out the Alpha Scanner.

As he did so, something shinned from the rock that Iguano knocked down. "Huh?" Seth zoomed in on the object and noticed it was a card with a blank back.

"ALPHA SLASH!"

Once Zander called out Terry, the world changed to a battlefield that looked exactly like the one when they first battled Beta. Iguano looked around in confusion before Terry knocked him away with his head. "Aah! Did you have to hit him so hard?!" Ursula yelled at the man, making him wince in fear.

Iguano get back up and knock him away. But all this did was make him slide back a few inches.

"VOLCANO BURST!" Zander said as he activated the Move Card, ignoring Ursula's horrified look. "This'll take him out, and he'll never know what hit him!" Sander said before Terry fired the attack.

Iguano was right in the attack's path and got the full force of it. Once the light cleared, the Iguanodon was lying burned on the ground. Thankfully, all the noise from the battle was able to get the team to locate them. "It's an Iguanodon!" Mykan exclaimed.

"But Terry's gonna beat him!" Pinkie added.

"Oh, yeah?" Mykan declared as He turned Blossom into a card

"DINO SLASH! FUKUISAURUS, BLOOM!"

"Oh, no! Now the brats are involved!" Ed exclaimed as he and Zander watched Blossom run to help Iguano.

"Oh, Iguano!" Ursula cried as she ran over to her weakened friend. "Please be all right! I'm so sorry, Iguano!"

"Ursula, you've got to get out of the way!" Zander warned her. Turning around, she saw Terry charging towards them, ready to deal the final blow as a volcano erupted behind him. Not even bothering to move, Ursula hugged Iguano and waited for the end to come.

"METAL WING!" Mykan called as he summoned the three Pterasaurs. The three prehistoric dinosaurs soared towards Terry and managed to knock him back. With him distracted, Ursula continued to hug Iguano. "Ohh, Iguano!" She cried as he glowed green and returned to his card. The card gently floated to the ground before it landed in Ursula's hands. "I'll take care of you."

Meanwhile, The birds were still circling Terry.

"Gotta get those birds off of Terry!" Ed exclaimed.

"TAIL SMASH!" Zander cried as he slashed the card. Terry roared as the pterasaours came flying in, Terry smacked them away with his tail, turning them back into a card. "Alright then, let's go, Blitz!" Mykan called out as Blitz already leapt into battle.

"STARFLEET SLASH! STYRACOSAURUS, ROAR!"

Zander saw Blitz charging towards Terry and activated Volcano Burst again. Mykan saw this and decided to use, "You ready for this?! Thunder Bazooka!"

Blitz leapt into the air and avoided the laser before he started spinning around as he approached Terry, building electricity as he did so before he hit the dinosaur dead center.

The Tyrannosaur was knocked back and continued slamming into rocks before he was finally defeated after the third one. "I've got you, Terry!" Ed cried as he quickly grabbed the card as it floated down and the world changed back to New Apoloosa at night.

As the fight happened, Seth landed the craft by the rock where the card was and picked it up to see what it was. He gasped as he immediately recognized it. "Velociraptor! Heh heh." He chuckled before quickly putting the card away. Finally, he would be able to complete what he started with this one.

"Good job." Zander congratulated Ursula, who was still holding Iguano's card. "Now we don't have to act like dogs anymore!"

"I won't miss the dog food, but do you think Dr.Z will let us keep our doghouses?" Ed asked as he joined up with them.

The trio heard the sounds of the ponies chatting amongst themselves and looked up to see them in a bit of an angry mob. "Your key to the town has been revoked, and we must ask you to leave now."

"What?!" Ursula gasped.

"Your big lizard knocked over my house!" One of the stallion yelled at her as the ponies continued on voicing their complaints.

"But I don't want to go home!" Ursula begged. "I want to stay and be a civilian!"

"No!" Zander and Ed exclaimed. "Don't say that!" Ed told her.

"You've got to come!" Zander pleaded. The two of them tensed when they heard the engines of the rocket and turned around to see it slowly lifting off the ground. "Wait. You can't leave without us!" They exclaimed as they grabbed Ursula.

"Hey! No! Let me go! No!" She struggled before they grabbed onto the rocket as it lifted up.

"Good riddance! And take your big lizard with you!" The ponies yelled as they disappeared from view.

As they went higher and higher into the air, Ursula just looked down silently. She could easily see the glares the team was giving them. "My sweet Iguano, I can't take you with me." She thought quietly to herself. "You deserve better than that." With that last thought, she let go of the card and it gently floated to the ground. "Look after him." She thought before covering her tracks. "Oops. Oh, look at that. I dropped the card."

"What?!" The two men exclaimed. "How could you?!" Zander accused her.

"Now we have to go back to dog bones!" Ed added.

"I'm sorry." Ursula apologized. "It slipped out of my fingers."

Seth saw this and immediately went to full speed before they could grab the card again. "Woof woof." Zander and Ed moaned.

The card continued on floating down until it landed on Mykan's head. "Huh?" He grabbed the card and looked to see what it was. "All right! We got the Iguanodon card!" He cheered. That's when Lightning and the others came over, "Hey, what'd we miss?" Lightning asked.

Inside the rocket, the Alpha Gang weren't so happy. "I can't go back to speaking doggish, it hurts my brain." Ed told Ursula.

"And I can't stretch out inside my doghouse." Zander added.

"So what choice do we have?" Ursula asked them. "No other villains are hiring, I checked. We'll just tell him that there was no card in New Appoloosa." As she said that, Seth pulled out his new prize and chuckled darkly. It was time for some fun.
