The Great Wall of China, now a popular tourist destination, was once primarily utilized as a barrier against enemies.

Somewhere in the forest, an unkept campfire was burning when a stray leaf touched the ash, causing the fire to spread rapidly throughout the woodland.

As trees became coated in flames, one fell over, and a branch hit an egg capsule, opening it up and spilling out two cards. The fire soon covered the two cards, yet instead of being destroyed, they glowed red and came to life. Out came a large, light green theropod with dark green spots that were even larger than Terry.

Despite being a fire element, it actually had three claws, not two, which was more common among theropods. The carnivore roared, and soon something formed in its mouth. It was a large fireball.

The dinosaur fired the fireball like it was a cannon and sent it flying through the forest before it exploded, spreading the fire even further. Steam begins coming out of the Carcharodontosaurus's mouth, before roaring out into the sky.

At Zeta Point, Zander was helping Rod and Ed with an invention of theirs. The invention was shod with springs inside of them, giving the wearer the ability to bounce instead of walk.

"Wow! This is fantastic! Ha, ha, ha!" Zander said overjoyed as he continued bouncing up and down. "I love this! I'm walking on air! Can I have a pair when they're made public?!" He asked as he continued his constant bouncing. "I'll never take them off!"

Rod and Ed watched from the sidelines. "Cool, huh?" Rod asked his partner. "This has to be one of our coolest inventions yet." He gloated.

"I wouldn't know; Zander won't take them off so I can find out," Ed replied depressed as he slumped on the log they were sitting on. Obviously, he wanted a turn as well.

"Once it's completed you could run to the end of a football field in less than five steps." Rod declared.

"Hey! How do I stop these crazy things? Help!" Zander cried as he began jumping away.

"Zander, those are just a prototype!" Rod yelled back. "There's an off switch somewhere, but I can't remember where it is!" Ed immediately had a horrified look on his face. All of a sudden he didn't want to try them anymore.

In another room, Ursula was busy applying her makeup when Zander appeared. "Help! Ursula, help me!" He cried as he bounced right into her, causing her to face plant into the table.

When she got back up she was angry. "Hey, watch it!" She yelled at the tall, bouncing man before she noticed her lipstick was stuck up her nose. She grabbed her mirror to get a better look. "Ah, style trendsetter or fashion faux pas?" She asked herself. "What am I saying?!" She growled before she removed the lipstick and sought to catch Zander. "Snot for me!"

"Stop, Zander!" Ed yelled as he entered the room to help.

"I'd like to, but I can't " Zander replied as he kept bouncing around the room, knocking everything over in the process.

Ed and Ursula kept on continuously trying to catch Zander and stop him from making a bigger mess, only their attempts made the mess even worse. "Ed, would you mind helping me catch him!"

"I'm trying, but it's like catching an eel!" He replied.

"OK, together!" She said as they got ready to pounce on Zander.

Soon he was caught in mid-bounce by Ursula and Ed as they tackled him on the ground.

It was then Dr.Z entered the room to do, what else, yell. "What is going on here! How can I rule an evil empire with all this racket!"
