Chapter 2: First Adventure
While Neo was sleeping, he had a dream...
In his dream:
"Mmm. Mmm? Wha? Where am I? Why is everything pitch black? Is this like the Void or something?" Neo asked out loud. He spotted a few figures way out in the distance, "Hey! You... uh... four...?" Neo said, squinting to make out the figures. They walked up to him, but he still could not make out their faces, "You... Neo... we have been waiting for you..." the leader replied.
"Waiting for me? Who are you? And what do you want with me?" Neo asked the leader back. Then the four creatures were right in front of Neo, but he still could not make out their faces. All that Neo could tell is that they were carnivorous dinosaurs, "Wait a minute... you four look familiar. Don't I know you from somewhere?" Neo asked them.
The leader put his hand on Neo's shoulder, and then something started to flow through Neo's veins... a kind of non-lethal poison, "You know... you ask way too many questions, Neo, in addition to questions that you should already know the answer to," he said. Neo's arms began to feel numb, "What are you doing to me?" Neo yelled. The dinosaur took his claw off of Neo's shoulder, "Follow your instincts, Neo. Go to your garage, we have left you something in there that will help you. So, wake up!" the leader said. Then Neo woke up.
"[Gasps] Huh? Oh. Go to the garage? What have you left for me, mysterious carnivores?" Neo said, heading for the garage. When he got in the garage, Christyna started bouncing around, then she stopped when she saw the expression on Neo's face, and she sensed his feelings, so she left him to look around.
Eventually, he noticed a garage door that definitely was not there before, and it looked like the door to a cage, "I'm guessing that whatever they left must be in here. Judging by the titanium metal bars on this door, I'd say that this is some sort of cage." Neo thought, going towards the door. As he was trying to open it, he heard some kind of growling coming from behind the door, "What the? I hope that whatever is making those noises is friendly." Neo said to himself.
When Neo finally got the door open, the room was pitch black, "Is there nothing in here?" Neo said out loud. Then, a set of headlights turned on, almost blinding Neo, "That's got to be some sort of vehicle." Neo told himself. Then the headlights got closer and closer, until Neo could make out what it was, "What is this? A black Chevy Nova? Hmm... blacked out windows, blacked out headlights and taillights, black wheels. Wait a minute... (Pulls out a photo) Super Hybrid? From the movie?" Neo asked out loud.
He started walking around the vehicle, when he realized something, "Wait a minute... Super Hybrid? The killer car that transforms into different vehicles, and kills people? Is that what this car is?" Neo yelled. Then the car opened its driver door, whacked Neo in the shins, and it knocked him over, "Ow." Neo groaned.
He got up and saw that the door was still open, and the car flashed it's lights, Neo understood, "Do you want me to get in?" Neo asked the vehicle. The engine revved up, "OK. So... you were given to me... to help me?" Neo asked, sitting behind the wheel. The car honked, "All right let's-" Neo began to say before Bang! The car smashed right through the garage door, and almost hitting the gang, "Aaah!" Cera screamed, diving out of the way.
Then the car spun around, and aimed at the gang. Neo didn't notice this, and he got out to greet them. But before Neo had a chance to say a word, he heard the car going directly at the gang, "Neo, behind you!" Littlefoot warned him. Before the car was able to hit any of them, Neo stood in the vehicle's path, "Stop right there!" Neo ordered the vehicle.
The car obeyed him, and it came to a stop, "Sorry, guys. I just found this thing today." Neo said to them. Littlefoot walked to Neo's side, and started to inspect the car, "Neo, what is this thing?" Littlefoot asked him. "Guys, in my world this is called a car. My kind use it for transportation, to get from one place to another. Some of my kind give our vehicles names. This one's name is... uh... Demon. His name is Demon. I call him that because I can already tell that Demon had a very aggressive personality, especially to protect me." Neo explained.
Littlefoot was about to respond, before he noticed the hole in the garage behind Neo, "Where does that hole lead, Neo?" Littlefoot asked him. Neo looked behind, "That? That's where all of my cars, like Demon, go. It's called a garage. Would you guys want to explore the garage?" Neo asked them politely. The gang looked at one another a couple times, "Sure. Why not?" Spike answered. Neo smiled, "Okay, but first let me take Demon back before he makes a meal out of you. Just kidding. I'll be right back." Neo said, getting back into Demon. After Demon was put back into the "cage" he was in, Neo walked back out, "Follow me." Neo ordered them.
They followed Neo into his garage, and he briefly described each one, "This one over here, this Ford B-series Type C school bus, his name is Spacer, say hi Spacer. (Bus honks) This next one over this way, this is Christyna. I just got her very recently. That guy over there, that is Basher, obviously because he's very durable, and loves to destroy things. Demon over there you've already met. All of the cars that I have are alive, and they are very loyal towards me. Plus they get very defensive when I'm getting bullied, or attacked. Every single vehicle I own is alive, except for one. There it is over there." Neo said, pointing to a car on a spinning floor.
He lead the gang towards the vehicle, "What kind of 'car' is this?" Littlefoot asked Neo. Neo was stroking the vehicle, "In my time, this is called a Lykan Hypersport. It costs around $3,000,000 in our currency, US dollars we call it, or things we give to others to get things in return. This Hypersport, if it is alive, is very docile and quiet. Although, granted, I've never driven it before, probably because I don't want to wreck it." Neo said to them.
Then, Cera felt something nudge her from behind, "Huh? Neo? What is that?" Cera asked him. Neo focused on what she was talking about, "What? That? Oh... that is the vehicle that I hold nearest and dearest to my heart, apart from Christyna. That car is a 2002 Saturn ION. Actually, I have two of them. One is a four-dour, and this one is a quad-coupe redline. Meaning it has four seats, but it has special rear doors. Let me demonstrate." Neo said, walking towards the ION.
He explained to them what he was talking about, "First, you have to open the front doors. Then, you see this thing here? This here is a handle, and if I pull it... VoilĂ ! There is the backseat. Come on, just hop in. I'll give you a feeling about what it's like to be in a car." Neo said, gesturing for them to get in. But he stopped them shortly after, "Actually, let me see if your parents are all right with it." Neo said.
Cera quickly stopped him, "Umm... no need. Uh... our parents are just fine with us doing this. You don't need to ask," she said. Neo gave her a look, "Now, Cera... I know your... tendencies... to be very bossy towards your friends, and sometimes be extremely irresponsible. You're afraid to tell your father about anything negative because he'll probably get angry. (Starts imitating Mr. Threehorn's voice perfectly) 'Angry? Angry? Oh, I'm not angry, I'm furious!' (Stops imitating) Remember that, Cera?" Neo said to her.
Cera didn't say anything in reply, and the others looked at each other, and quietly went, "He told her." Neo told them to wait next to the ION while he went out to ask the parents, "Grandma Longneck?" Neo said. "Neo. What do you need?" Grandma asked him. He explained what he was wanting to do, "Are you sure it's safe?" she asked him later.
Neo nodded his head, and she trusted him. He did the same with all the gang's parents, "Tria? Is it all right if Cera is with me and the others for a while?" Neo asked Tria. Tria nodded, "OK." Neo said cheerfully to himself. He got back to the others, who didn't wander off like normal, and had stayed right next to the ION, "OK, everyone, let's ride. Ruby, Chomper, Ducky, Petrie, Spike, and Cera... you all go in the backseats. Don't worry, you'll fit. Littlefoot, and Shorty... you're up front with me." Neo said, placing them into the seats.
When they were all seated, Neo started the engine, and slowly exited the garage. 2 minutes later, he was stopped when he saw Hyp, Mutt, and Nodd blocking his path, "Hiya, hatchlings! We heard everything about that freak Neo there! (All three start laughing)" Cera nudged Neo, "Are you just gonna sit here and take that from them?" she asked him.
Neo turned back to her, "Just watch me. Stay right where you are. Don't leave this car." Neo commanded them. He walked up to the three, and gave a slap to all three of them, "Wha!? Oh now you're gonna get it!" Hyp said. Neo backed up towards the car, "Speeder, have some fun with those three, give 'em just a heart attack." Neo said to the car.
The car revved its engine, and went towards the three, "What?! Look out!" Hyp yelled, diving out of the speeding vehicle's way. The ION spun around, and started to toy with the bullies, "Come on, guys! Throw rocks at the thing!" Hyp ordered his friends. They started throwing rocks at the doors of the ION, "Hey, look. The rocks are just bouncing off us!" Spike pointed out.
In fact, the rocks were bouncing off because the vehicle has some metal crossbars built into the doors, "[Panting] Keep... throwing... rocks... at the... [Sighs]" Bonk! Hyp said before he and the other two passed out from exhaustion, and fell to the ground, "Haha! You'll need to throw a lot more than just rocks at this thing, you boneheads." Neo shouted at the passed out bullies, and then returning to the vehicle, "Uh... Neo? Why were the rocks just bouncing off of this thing without doing anything to it?" Shorty asked, surprised.
Neo chuckled, "Why? Because... uh... this thing is just tough." Neo replied. The others didn't say anything else. Eventually, Neo took his hands of the wheel, and he told the gang that he'll let the car drive.
"Ehh... not quite. The sides can't get dented, but they can be damaged. Only thing is it takes a lot more than just some rocks to bang it up. By the way, if you looked elsewhere on the commercial besides the car, you will have glimpses of what I was used to seeing in my time period. Houses, toy airplanes, skyscrapers, that one bus, that guy with the surfboard, those shopping carts. All of that was pieces of what existed in my world." Neo said.
Then, Neo heard the gang's parents calling for them, "Littlefoot?", "Ducky! Spike!", "Cera!" Neo knew he had to send them back, "Guys, I think that you guys need to get home." Neo pointed out to them. Neo lead them to the front door, where their parents were waiting for them, "Wait." Littlefoot said. They all stopped and looked back at him. Littlefoot gave a look to the others, and they knew what he wanted them to do. All the dinosaurs went to their parents, and asked if they could stay with Neo for the nighttime. All of their parents said yes, and they headed back inside, "All right then, let's go!" Neo said, getting a smile on his face.
He went past a door with a sign on it that said, "Do not enter, unless you have the proper prerequisites," and the others didn't know how to read, "Neo? What is that?" Shorty asked him. Neo stopped and turned around, "What's what?" he asked. Shorty gestured towards the door, "That. What is that?" Shorty asked again. Neo looked at the door, "That would be a door, and a sign on the door. What about it?" Neo asked him.
Shorty didn't really know how to properly ask Neo what the sign said, "Never mind," he finally said. Neo told the others to stay here, they obeyed, Neo walked inside, closed the door behind him, and he walked towards a DJ studio. He went back to the door and he opened it enough so he could just poke his head through the gap, "Everyone, I'm just giving you a little bit of a warning, there is going to be a very loud noise that hurts your ears, so you might want to prepare yourselves!" Neo said. He pressed a button, and loud music began to play, "Neo! What's that noise?!" Littlefoot yelled over the music. Neo didn't answer, then the door they were just at flew open, and a group of people came out and got around Neo.
Neo yelled over the music, "Guys, met Redfoo, and SkyBlu also known as... LMFAO. If any of you wanna dance, just do what we do. A five, six, seven, eight!" before he started dancing.
(Party Rock Anthem begins playing)
Redfoo: Party rock! Yeah!

(Song ends)
"WHOO! I never ever get tired of that!" Neo said, absolutely hyped. Then LMFAO and their friends went back into the room, "You're amazing, Neo!" Redfoo called back. Neo shut the door behind them, and when he turned around, every single set of eyes was staring at him. Neo even looked out the window to see that every single dinosaur in the Great Valley was gathered around his house, "What was that?" Grandpa Longneck asked after Neo came out of the house.
Neo looked up at him, "Umm... music? It's my favorite song. Did you not like it?" he asked. Grandpa, along with all the other adults gasped, "Not like it? That was the best thing we've ever heard! Something about it was... invigorating. It made me feel young again. Could you do it again? We understand the 'dances' that went along with it." Grandpa said to Neo, who's head looked back up. Neo looked around to the other adults, who all nodded their heads. Neo turned to the gang, who were also nodding their heads, "Alrighty then. Let me bring out every one of my cars. They absolutely love this kind of music." Neo said. He made a sound, and all of his cars filed out of the garage, and parked around the house, "Let me bring the party out here." Neo said.
Then, LMFAO and their friends came out with the big speakers, and when the music started, Neo turned on a giant disco ball lamp, sending colors all over the place, and every single creature there started dancing. They all actually learned how to do the shuffle just by watching Neo, "Hit it guys!" Neo yelled. Then the real party started. Out in the distance, Neo, along with everybody else, were being watched, "He's been doing everything precisely how he's supposed to," a Sharptooth with red eyes said to another. "When will he meet us?" the other Sharptooth asked? The first Sharptooth focused on Neo, "Not for a while. But when he does, he should be completely different," he replied.
