Suddenly, it hit him. Despite their clumsiness, the Combos were chasing them toward the trees, almost herding the duckbills. Johnny raised his X-ray token and saw why. A fourth Combo lurked behind a giant sequoia. They were planning an ambush.

“Turn!” Johnny yelled to Mister Kitchen. “There’s another one hiding!”

“Oh dear. Oh dear,” Mister Kitchen cried. Johnny could almost hear his message to the duckbills. The entire herd trumpeted wildly, sounding like a piano crashing downstairs. Pawing the air, they turned and galloped inland. The Combos bellowed with rage and swerved to follow. The one from the sequoia joined them, running hard.

“Tell the duckbills to run a zigzag!” Johnny yelled to Mister Kitchen. “They can’t maneuver as well as we can.”

This time, he could hear Mister Kitchen’s thoughts. The duckbills dodged into a stand of redwoods, leading a race between the trees and pulling ahead of the lumbering Combos. Facing backwards as she rode, Claire used her token to set fires in their path, while Johnny threw more brilliant pebble boomerangs. Explosions blasted through the forest while the Combos roared and reared, their bayonet backs cutting down branches so the wounded trees rained wood.

“You’re getting them even more angry!” Brendan called.

“Can you keep up?” Johnny yelled. Now the little dino had Alexa on his back and Alex in his arms.

“Oh dear. I have to, don’t I?” Mister Kitchen cried, running as fast as he could.

But Alexa was having a hard time hanging on, and Rosa looked grim as a Combo reached a slashing claw for her duckbill’s tail. They could have defeated one clumsy predator, even two. But four? Johnny threw out another pebble, but the Combos had brains in those huge heads, and they were learning to dodge them.

“NOW!” Brendan cried suddenly.

Johnny swiveled in time to see his brother lower his token from his lips.

“Brendan! What are you doing!” Claire cried.

Suddenly, the ground shook even harder than before. Was it really an earthquake this time? There was a huge crash as trees fell. Then another…another…until…
