The Dino Daggers of Friendship "our fight started 65 million years ago, and now it is time to finish it!" Taki insulting Kaido, but shrinks away from Rina. R known K since kindergarten. 2 dagger-shaped artifacts unearthed with the bones. Sense their removal; need a guardian. Source of their power. Uncertain about Taki. Dr.Abram (fem red-brn) lets them in; Taki brings Rina to meet them. Trilobite-shaped roof. "Crystallized lifeforce" to recharge "our dino power". Fireballs from space rift. Lifeforce leaking from cleft in rock. Rockslide, stop van carrying crate with daggers. Pool energy to activate Tyranno. Rina gets one, skates back, activates others. Taki, bike crushed, stays.

"In time, you'll learn all the powers of these ancient artifacts." 104 Save Dino Ptera DinoKnights "power of the ancients!" "Dino Brachio! Power of the Ancients! Ax of Valor! DinoKnight ready!" Rina (redhead) and her friend, Kaido (dark brown) with Dino Daggers. "Dinopower energize!" Irritating classmate Taki (light brown) with video camera, cackling laugh and ambition. The DinoKnights spend most of their time as skeletons in the local Dinoterium, recharging from battle. The bones acquire a metallic sheen and tranlucent -- I suppose you could call it flesh -- materializes between them. Some sort of solid energy. Not obvious how they exit the building, or how tourists react, or what the security cameras record. The DinoKnights, DragoZaurs and some props in CGI; the humans and backgrounds in cel. A pursuit is depicted with dinos chasing Taki (legs forward, arms back, screaming pose) with speedline background, decorated with dancing bones. Dissatisfied with ---'s failures to drain Earth's lifeforce, Diamond Ryugu approve's DragoWing's plan to plant a machine to drain, concentrate and transmit the power. Camping, Rina, Kaido and Taki notice it; Taki believe's it's a UFO and rushes off for exclusive footage. The DinoKinghts, recuperating at the Dinoterium, send Dino Ptera to investigate; she's accosted and drained by DragoWing in vampire-bat fashion, returning to fossil form. The kids find her. Daggers don't work to summon others -- apparently being drained while machine active. She identifies it for them. Urges them to leave, but they recharge her. Others arrive. Reaches repletion, fires bolt, but DragoWin is knocked into it, shorting it out and dissipating the bolt. --- takes this as vindication of his superiority. --- Everything's Relative Saber and Tricera overhear tour gruop and decide to visit Africa and see descendants (cats and rhinos), pick up kids, jog across water. "Those are my descendents... I'm pretty sure we're first cousins, about 65 million times removed." Rina jumps in water, but can't swim. Beaches on hippo. Croc. Follow injured baby rhino to cavern, pool of lifeforce, waiting animals truce. Drying up. Savannah drained. 10+ dragozaurs (incl ptera as drill) feeding. Rhinos decide Tricera is royalty, fruity offerings. K+R have trouble getting him. Popcul refs "am I as famous as a movie star?" "get me a shake, fries and a veggie burger" says Saber. Fight. Tyranno drops out of sky, and others appear on cliff. Seal holes. Spring refills. Mammoth chases girl. --- Rick's Big Adventure "Dino Styracco! Power of the Ancients! Styracco Sword of Stealth! DinoKnight ready!" "Triblade fusion! Integrate! DinoTriblade, Power of the Ancients, triple fossil star sword!" "Thanks a lot for warning me about the ancient curse on the mountain. What you neglected to tell me is that *you* are *it*!" Somewhere in the American west... Rick (blond) with third DinoDagger. Sheriff responding to reports of explosions. Rick leaves them training to investigate explosion, finds mine opened, and three ruffians who've found pool of crystallized lifeforce. Realizes if they take, it'll attract Dragozaurs. He washes out of cave, encounters sheriff and warns her of plan to blow dam. Thinks he's in on it. Leaves him with deputy, but he escapes. Meet on dam and belatedly realize hiding behind the drums of explosive. Escape, still handcuffed, when boom! Wash. Mountain life fades. Get onto Rick's horse, Lightning. Find them in train. DragoZaurs stop it, munch crystals. Gigadragon arrives. The brothers arrive. Combat. Capture escaped criminals.
