Steven was running as fast as he could. He never would have guessed this morning that he would be chased by creatures that should be extinct.
Raptors, Steven thought, of all extinct creatures, it just had to be Velociraptors. He wasn't sure how much longer he could run. It was only another six or seven yards to the house. Steven eventually found himself stumbling to the ground. One of the raptors had jumped onto his back!
"Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl!" Steven yelled out of desperation, "Help!" The gems had heard Stevens' calls for help and ran outside to investigate. When they saw what was going on, they couldn't believe their eyes.
"Steven, hold on!" Pearl called out, "We're coming!" The raptor on top of Steven made an odd noise, as if it were communicating. Almost instantly, the other 3 raptors charged as the Gems, who had their weapons readied.
The Gems had engaged in battle with the Velociraptors. Pearl then wondered why the three raptors hadn't just stayed behind and waited for them. But then she realized: they were just trying to distract them. Pearl looked towards Steven. The one raptor was ready to make a killing move. Garnet and Amethyst noticed what was about to happen.
"Steven!" the gems cried. Steven closed his eyes and braced himself…
But nothing happened. Steven looked up in confusion. A mysterious cloaked figure wielding a staff had blocked the raptor from reaching Steven. The figure used its' staff to throw the raptor a few feet away.
The raptor got up, made the weird noise again, and charged at the cloaked creature. The figure battled the raptors. It seemed very experienced in combat with these prehistoric beasts. Eventually, the raptors retreated into the ocean.
"Steven, are you hurt?" Pearl asked the young boy as she knelt down to help him.
"No," Steven replied, "I'm ok"
"What were those things?" Amethyst wondered, "I mean, it's not everyday that you see three-foot tall lizards running around."
"Velociraptors," the figure spoke, "Very vicious creatures. They'll attack anything that moves"
"Who are you?" Garnet interrupted.
Pearl suddenly reconized the figure.
"Umm, Yosh. Is that you?" The figure chuckled.
"Heh, Yeah, it's me!" Yosh said in a slightly higher voice than before. He lowered the hood on his cloak to reveal his face. Much to the other Gems' surprise, Yosh was a penguin with green feathers. "Long time no see, huh?"
"Indeed, a very long time" Pearl answered, " Gems, Steven, this is Yosh. He was one of the other campers on that Island from a few years back."
Yosh pushed a button on his staff. Immediately the staff reclined into Itself.
"Cool staff." Steven told the penguin in awe.
"Thank you," Yosh said, "made it myself." He then sat down and began explaining how there were other dinosaurs, and how the raptors got out. "...I did my best to guard the hole in fence, but the Velociraptors snuck past me when I wasn't looking and escaped."
"So let me get this straight," Amethyst interrupted, "There is an island, not far from here, full of dinosaurs?"
"Well," Yosh explained, "I wouldn't call them dinosaurs, they're more like Genetically-Engineered monsters; but yes, it does exist."
"Yeah, Right!" Amethyst exclaimed in disbelief, "This is obviously some sort of prank!"
"No, Amethyst," Pearl stated, "This isn't a prank, I've been to the island."
"You have?" Steven asked.
So, not bad for my first fan-fiction huh? Let me know what you think!
