It is KB Fan Fiction's 276th feature film.

The film is the second *Dinosaur King* film to be set in the merged *Dinosaur King*-*Jurassic World* universe, after 2018's *Dinosaur King in Jurassic World*.

## Premise

Set three years after *Dinosaur King: Final*, Chomp Maximus and the Chosen Dinosaurs search for new trainers after some of the original trainers find new jobs at Jurassic World. They come across the Dinosaur Protection Group, an organization aimed at saving the dinosaurs.

After a freak storm which separates most of the Chosen Dinosaurs, Chomp Maximus is suffering from amnesia when he met Franklin Webb. The two must work together to find out what happened to the other Chosen Dinosaurs. While searching for clues across Kyoryu Island, they reunite with Ace and Paris, who have found new partners, and they are on the search for the other Chosen Dinosaurs. Their clues lead to an underground dinosaur fighting ring, accompanied by a mysterious paleontologist who owns a *Tyrannosaurus rex*, the Dinosaur Protection Group’s headquarters, and a plot that threatens the very existence of Kyoryu Island.

## Plot

The Dinosaur Protection Group is a group centered on saving the dinosaurs which they regarded as an endangered species. Recently, the DPG have opened a branch in Lightning City on Kyoryu Island, an island where humans and dinosaurs live in constant harmony.

Franklin Webb, a 21-year-old computer hacker working for the Dinosaur Protection Group, discovers a tiny talking *Triceratops*. He brings the *Triceratops*, named Chomp, to the DPG’s headquarters to be examined by paleoveterinarian Zia Rodriguez. Chomp reveals to the group that the Chosen Dinosaurs’ previous owners have parted ways and had taken new professions. They are then attacked by a pack of *Utahraptor* until Chomp suddenly transforms into his full-grown *Triceratops* mode, causing the raptors to retreat and both Franklin, Zia and Chomp to escape.

They take shelter at a café where they meet a talking *Carnotaurus* named Ace. Ace reveals that the Chosen Dinosaurs have also parted ways too, and that a terrible plot is taking place in Kyoryu Island and the Chosen Dinosaurs need to reunite again. They return to the DPG headquarters and Chomp reveals the plot to the DPG’s leader, Claire Dearing. At the same time, raptor trainer Owen Grady arrived at the headquarters, offering assistance with his trusty *Velociraptor* squad: Blue, Charlie, Delta and Echo, to track the missing Chosen Dinosaurs. Following Blue, Franklin and Chomp arrive at an illegal dinosaur fighting ring where a *Tyrannosaurus* beats every opponent it is matched up with. Chomp offers himself to fight the *Tyrannosaurus* when Franklin meets a mysterious paleontologist who wants to buy the *Tyrannosaurus*. Chomp defeats the *Tyrannosaurus* after a hard fight, and realized that the *Tyrannosaurus* is in fact Terry Rex, one of the Chosen Dinosaurs. The paleontologist later reveals himself to be the legendary Dr. Alan Grant, a patron of the DPG. They freed Terry straight away.

Later, a girl named Maisie Williams drops by at the headquarters with a talking *Parasaurolophus* named Paris. Franklin, Chomp, Blue, Alan and Terry return to the headquarters and find out that there are scratch and bite marks left in some of Lightning City’s infrastructure. Owen decides to investigate, only to encounter a *Spinosaurus* and had his raptors keep it at bay. The *Spinosaurus* is eventually captured after being beaten in a fight by Terry, Ace and Chomp. They lead it to the crime scene where they learn that the *Spinosaurus* is another Chosen Dinosaur, Spiny, and that his claws and teeth do not match the marks left behind by the mystery predator. They are then visited by a *Saichania* named Tank, who has memories of some of the Chosen Dinosaurs’ last known locations and the plot threatening Kyoryu Island.

Back at the DPG headquarters, Tank reveals that a creature named *Indominus rex* is behind the destruction, and that it was released by the notorious Professor Z’s mysterious daughter Lacey von Hammersmark, who is planning to re-populate Kyoryu Island with hybrid dinosaurs enhanced with upgraded elementary powers. With this new information, the DPG, the Chosen Dinosaurs, Maisie, Alan, Owen and his raptor squad team up to deal with the plot. Paleobotanist Dr. Ellie Sattler joins the team.

The group later finds Dr. Lacey’s lab and break into it with the help of the dinosaurs’ strength, discovering that Dr. Lacey is planning to continue Professor Z’s dream to genetically engineer dinosaurs for combat use. They are soon attacked by a pack of *Indoraptors* who chased them out of the building and into a herd of sauropods. Chomp and several sauropods are wounded by the *Indoraptor* pack, until the hybrids are defeated one by one by the other Chosen Dinosaurs and Owen’s raptor pack. They find themselves in the Lightning-Water-Grass Country tri-border where they meet a herd of *Iguanodon* and *Parasaurolophus*. The herd, looking at Paris as their leader, heals Chomp of his wounds using Nature’s Blessing. However, they encountered Lacey and the *Indominus rex* who chase the group back to Lightning City.

In Lightning City, the *Indominus rex* begins its rampage and the six Chosen Dinosaurs arrive to fight the hybrid predator. Meanwhile, the DPG apprehends Lacey and her assistant, Yuki Wineyard. Lacey tells them that she sent the *Indoraptors* to attack them and the hybrids are being engineered to make them combat-reliable. She also divulged that the dinosaur hybrids are able to fuse two different elementary powers (in their case, fire and wind) to make them more powerful. Finally, the Chosen Dinosaurs subdue the *Indominus rex* after a demonstration of elementary power. Lacey and Yuki are swiftly arrested. The Chosen Dinosaurs pick their new trainers.
