A female Velociraptor was in a strange land, one minute she was in her desert home. Looking at the patch of sand that buried her pack alive, now she is in a forest with temperatures much cooler than her home. Then she saw a movement up ahead, and seems a familiar shape of a raptor. She calls out to the raptor, and when the raptor arrives it was like looking at a complete stranger.
This new raptor is actually her North American cousin, Dromaeosaurus. 2 species apart by some 10 million years, and both were about the same size. Both species size each other out hissing each other, but eventually the cold whether got the better of them. Where ever they are, it was winter but both are adapted to a warmer climate. So the close relatives begin to look for shelter against the cold winter.
An hour later, they ran into another species of raptor 3 of them, one was 2 feet longer, a foot taller and a different color. it was called Deinonychus, meaning terrible claw. This species was found in North america 110 million B.C. The other is about the same size and came from Southern Europe, called Pyroraptor. And Lastly the 3rd raptor dwarfs them all called Utahraptor. This species is the biggest dromaeosaurid ever found, 24 feet long, 6 feet tall and 1,500 pounds and they were found in North American as well in the early Cretaceous 125 million B.C.
The 5 raptors look at each other like they were each an alien, in fact they were but only from different parts of history and on separate continents. Even though the brain of a dinosaur can think at one thing at a time, the brains of this raptors seem to telling to join together as pack. And so they did, and they will until they see other members of their kind.
Meanwhile else where in the forest, a similar problem is happening. A pack of 4 raptors were wandering around the forest trying to escape the cold. They were Velociraptors, but something was different about them. Besides each one being a different color, they were 3 times bigger then they should be. The leader of the pack is a grayish color with a blue stripe on both sides running down from behind her eye to her tail. 2nd in command is a greenish color with some gray hinted on her, the 3rd is a brown color with a scar on her snout. And lastly youngest of all is a lighter green one with darker green stripes.
And this 4 raptors are actually sisters, and their working together. The one with the blue stripe is the pack's oldest sister and leader. But right now, food is not important right now, finding shelter is and luckily they found a cave. And once inside they begin lie down to regain their strength, for when they go hunting.
In the course of the next few days, in Ponyville. The residents have been seeing some strange sightings of weird creatures. But as quickly as they appeared they were gone. Twilight and her friends have been seeing them as well, and even though they seen the footprints left in the snow. They all lead into the everfree forest, Twilight and Fluttershy did careful exam the footprints and they look like bird footprints of what they can tell. But no bird other than the Ostrich have 2 toes.
Later Twilight and her friends, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity, Starlight and Spike. Were at her castle trying to work out, what the strange creatures were.
Okay, What do we know about them so far? Twilight asked bringing out a board and marker.
Well, I saw one with a long tail and running on 2 legs. Spike said.
Okay. Twilight said drawing a pair of legs and a tail.
I thought I saw one with long arms with 3 claws on each one. Rarity said thinking carefully.
Twilight then drawn the arms with claws.
I think it had a long snout. Applejack said.
Twilight then draws the neck and head along with eyes.
I think it has a body cover in scales. Fluttershy said remembering seeing a flash of scales one time.
Twilight draws the skin of the body.
Oh, I think I saw a huge claw on it's feet where the big toe is. Rainbow said remembering seeing one when she was flying one time.
Twilight then draws the big claw on it's feet.
You know, recently I saw one and its mouth open and I saw some teeth. Pinkie said.
Did you get a good look? Twilight asked.
They were small but sharp. She answered.
Twilight then redraws the head with it's mouth open and showing teeth. And when she was done, the others were stunned of the drawing itself.
What is That? Rarity asked.
I'm not sure, but I had a feeling that we're about to find out. Twilight said.
This is strange. Rainbow said.
Like what? Starlight asked.
You know, earthquake hitting the land, and now strange 2 legged creatures are being seen. She said.
Your actually right Rainbow, that is weird. Applejack said. And it's only been a few days since that earthquake.
How big was it again? Pinkie asked.
4.5 on richter scale. Twilight answered.
But the strange thing is, a earthquake that strong is only felt within a few miles. Starlight said.
But this was felt through the as far north to the Crystal Empire. Twilight said.
But, what could be going on? Asked Spike.
What ever it is, we're about to find out. Starlight said.
It's getting late. Twilight said. How you guys head home? I'll send Princess Celestia a letter and a picture about the creature we been seeing.
All right then. Applejack said. Night ya.
Night! The others said and left for home.
Meanwhile out in the open ocean, a ship was sailing through the night and a crew member heard a strange sound from above. But it was too dark to get a good look, but he saw it was a flying creature but it didn't look like a dragon.
Then he heard a ghostly sound coming from below. He look down and what he saw was a shape of a creature with a serpent like body, but few serpents live this far out at sea. And deep below the mysterious animals swims of disappearing into the gloom.
