Nikolas: It does hurt! She can obviously come back at any moment, and I saw that you had some trouble, with more planning, she can defeat you.

Mikael: Don't worry so much, before she comes back, I will become much stronger, but that, obviously, with your help.

From one moment to the next, a rumble begins to affect the entire island. They leave the center, staying on the dirt road, looking up, while observing a huge structure right above them. MH emerges from the ship, raising his right arm as he flies towards them, launching several missiles that go in their direction. They separate, dodging the rain of projectiles sent by him, which in turn, in a short time, reaches the ground. Landing and aiming solely at Mikael, he raises his arm and launches several laser beams at him, destroying several trees around. Meanwhile, Mikael raises his blade, reflecting several of the attacks, while dodging others, without encountering much difficulty.

Mikael: And you?! Who would it be? {arrogant smile}

Just before…

Hirotomo: Huh? There's nothing here.

Maaya: But… But I swear I trapped him here.

Hirotomo: Stop being crazy, let's go back to the center soon.

They return to the center after some walking, arriving just as Mikael's group was being attacked by Metal Hirotome.

Hirotomo: What's going on here?!

Maaya: Isn't it kind of obvious?

Hirotomo: Yes, but I… I don't know.

MH: You… We'll see each other soon.

The metallic being stops the attack and flies to the ship in the sky. Upon entering, the ship propels itself and disappears into the air in an instant. Hirotome: What was that? Mikael: I don't know either, but let's just say that it was still exciting.

Five years later…

At the entrance of a luxurious mansion, Mikael was there, who entered and was taken by some guards to Hirotomo's room.

Hirotomo: It's been a while, Mikael! How have you been?

Mikael: It's been really good, you know, during the time I've been away, I met an incredible woman, she's one of those remnants, you know, one of those who are millions of years old.

Hirotome: I see... You like old women, then?

Mikael: That's not quite it, let's forget about that! Why did you call me here anyway?

Hirotomo: Oh, yes, it's a very simple reason, in fact, besides that enclosure, there's another planet where I leave the creatures, testing them and evaluating their quality before sending them to the enclosure. Well, with all the confusion we had before, that place ended up being forgotten, but just like that island, that planet was the target of an attack, all the dinosaurs were freed.

Mikael: Is that right? So they've been loose there for five years?

Hirotomo: That's right, so they built a new biodiversity there. I'll be sending you and a few other researchers and warriors, if you want, you can bring your friends. Anyway, the universal media is discussing a bit about what happened to my enclosure, so we'll send you to that planet as an excuse for being an exploration. What we really want is to find the one who freed the creatures there, because we know he'll come back there, otherwise there would be no reason for him to do this.

Hirotomo: I hired people to go with you to the island. I remember telling you that most of my problems back then were due to sabotage, obviously I wasn't going to let that go unpunished.

Mikael: Are you sure you're not trying to cover up your own mistakes? {mocking smile}

Hirotomo: {says in a frivolous tone} Look! Don't provoke me {takes a deep breath} Anyway, I investigated and we came to the conclusion that... Kiko wasn't working alone, she was under... Under... A contract, that is, she was under someone else's orders. This same person is causing other problems to arise before me on this other island, she's interested in the dinosaurs there.

Mikael: And... Who would this bodyguard you hired be?

Hirotomo: Oh! It's someone you know very well, it's Tamao!

Mikael: You can't... Why Tamao?!

Hirotomo: Don't stress so much, I briefly understand your concern, after all, I also have a wife, but let's say that our women are equally skilled, they wouldn't perish to any dinosaur.

Mikael: I don't care, I'm going after her right now, prepare your boat, I'll go in the first one I have

Hirotomo: Oh my! We're in a hurry, aren't we? I already told you that you don't need to be so worried! If you want, I'll send my wife too, will that make you more confident?

Mikael: Uh... NO! I'm not going to be more confident of her safety just because your wife is there!

Hirotomo: OK...

3 days later

The boat containing Mikael and all his friends disembarks on the shores of the island. They get off the boat as they advance into the forest.

Nikolas: Hirotomo explained everything to you, didn't he?

Mikael: Not exactly, I didn't want to hear much of his explanation, what's important to me now is keeping my wife safe.

Nikolas: I see...

Natalie: How much concern for a mere woman, if she's strong, she can handle it.

Joana: Don't be so insensitive.

Natalie: These trees... They're denser, do you think I can knock them down without much effort?

Joana: Is that your concern now?

Natalie: OBVIOUSLY!

Putting jokes aside, the group continues into the forest, and it takes them no less than an hour to find Tamao, due to Vitalis' detection of Joana. Mikael runs to her, hugging her tightly.

Tamao is over 66 million years old and 1.75 tall

Mikael: Oh my! Why did you agree to come here? You have no idea of the danger you've gotten yourself into!

Tamao: Calm down, man! They're just dinosaurs, it's not like they can do anything bad to me, besides, look! She raises her arms, while from between the trees, a herd of Stegosauruses comes out, everyone observes the dinosaurs, existing in an inhabitant as if it were natural, even though these same creatures had been extinct millions of years ago, Joana and Tamao, have their eyes distracted by the sight.

Tamao: Seeing these creatures again is simply incredible. Joana: I say the same!

Mikael: That's how it starts... I just don't want to have to face some kind of Kiko 2.0! {clenches his fist}

Tamao: Anyway, leaving the wonderful thing out of the picture, I understand your concerns about my safety. While I was coming here, Hirotomo must not have found out to warn you, but my ship was knocked down and destroyed by a metallic being.

Riley: A metallic being? We can already imagine what it is

Tamao: I imagine it is the creature you said attacked you on that planet

Mikael: yes, it is very likely, but anyway, what I want now is for you to leave this planet, this is no longer a safe place, that same metallic being will return

While they talk, they walk through the forest. Tamao and Joana enthusiastically lead the way, they end up coming across that herd of Stegosaurus again. Together with Joana, Tamao hides with her behind a tree, leaving Mikael and the rest behind.

Tamao: look, that is a family of dinosaurs, besides, while I was here, I was able to observe that the baby Stegosauruses stay close to the nest with their parents for a long time, which is similar to the Stegosauruses we saw in the past, these creatures... They were really brought back by Hirotomo

Joana: it is so exciting!

They end up making a loud noise, scaring the baby Stegosaurus, who grunted, signaling danger. Then, the other Dinosaurs surround him, while they attack Tamao and Joana, moving their tails horizontally to hit them. The two do somersaults and dodge the attack, moving away quickly.

Mikael: That's the least of their problems, the real problem is that woman I told you appeared on that planet, Kiko. According to what Hirotomo said, that woman will probably come back here, besides that, that same metallic being will also come here, that's why I was sent here, I just... I don't want anything to happen to you, okay?

Tamao: I know, but while you were telling me about what happened on that planet, I couldn't help but get excited, seeing Dinosaurs again is something I can't let go... Excitement, Mikael! I can't just stay at home doing nothing.

Mikael: I understand that, but if you want excitement, you could have just stayed with me, at home, in bed…

Tamao: How outrageous, I know it's a joke of yours, but I don't… {holds back laughter}

They both burst out laughing at the same time, slapping each other while laughing

Tamao: Ah… Screw you, you bastard.

Mikael: You don't listen to me either, how do you expect me to be so nice to you?

Meanwhile, the rest of the group watched the two interact with slight fascination and even curiosity.

Joana: What kind of couple is that?

Natalie: Is talking about sexual relations like that really normal?

Joana: Hey! Don't talk about it when we have Riley around.

Riley: Oh my gosh, I'm going to kick both of you in the face, I'm not a child!

Joana: Silence! Look at yourself, you could be millions of years old, you still look like a child.

Riley: What's gotten into you? Are you looking for a fight? I bet you can't even take five punches from me.

Nikolas: What is this turning into? Why all this fuss out of nowhere?

Interrupting their conversation, a familiar but unexpected sound begins to be heard, they run out of the forest. As they leave, they observe in the sky, some military helicopters carrying large military vehicles approaching the island. Disembarking, several soldiers driving military vehicles invade the island, putting the creatures to sleep with tranquilizers, locking them one by one in large cages, until Fuyukuchi appears.

Tamao: What are you doing? {stern tone}

Fuyukuchi: Calm down, by the way, how are you, Mikael?! I remember you, you know, instigated by you, today I came to this island with the intention of… Hunting a single dinosaur, a Tyrannosaurus Rex…
