Brightclaw237: Time for chapter 4! Last time, Sky was given Nibblesaurus as a partner. I will also be mentioning Claw every time when the Wardens need Sky. Claw is the hero/heroine's main vivosaur, so he should be mentioned. Also, Sky was taken in by Captain Stryker. I don't own Fossil Fighters.

Sky's vivosaur- Nibblesaurus-Claw, male


Claw and I face Stryker. "Right then, Sky. Let's talk about your first assignment." Stryker says. "I want you to visit the American branch of the Wardens." He says. "Introduce yourselves, including Claw, to their leader as soon as you get there, and see if he needs any assistance." Stryker explains. "I'm counting on you, Sky and Claw.

Claw and I then head into the elevator. When the elevator door opens, I see my three friends talking to each other about something. "Oh, Sky! Hey, guess what?" Nate says. "I just saw Professor Boring Guy!" He exclaims. "He went into the elevator with that little vivosaur we found earlier and…" Nate stops speaking when he sees Claw beside me. "Holy moly! There he is! He's right there!" Nate shouts, and Penny walks up to Claw.

"Awww! How cute!" Penny exclaims.

"Stay back! He's deadly!" Nate warns. "That ferocious beast tried to bite off my poor butt!" Nate says.

"This ferocious 'beast' saved my and Roland's life." I say, glaring at Nate.

"Yeah, right. He's way too cute to do that!" Penny laughs. "…Aren't you? Aren't you just too cute?!" Penny squeals in joy.

In response, Claw let's out a warning roar. "He wants you all to stay away from me." I sigh.

"GRRRRRRRR(STAY AWAY FROM HER)!" Claw growls.

"Ooo-kay, then. Guess he hates me." Penny sighs.

"Claw's jus really overprotective of me, that's all, guys." I say, picking Claw up.

"Who's Claw?" Nate asks.

"My partner. Captain Stryker gave him to me to raise. He says that I may be the only person that can actually pull it off. For some reason, Claw hates humans. He also has a very short temper." I explain.

"Then why doesn't he hate you, Sky?" Roland asks.

"I honestly don't know. He just doesn't, I guess." I say.

"Well, do you want to head off for a dig site?" Nate asks.

"No can do, Nate. I work under Stryker now, and I've got to head to Fossil Park America. Have to introduce Claw and I, as well as help in any jobs if I'm needed." I explain. "Maybe later, that okay?" I ask.

"Sure, you have a bigger position than the rest of us, and it's much more important. So take your time, and be careful around that little monster." Nate warns me, and gets bitten by Claw in the same spot as before.

"Claw, please stop biting my friend." I say as I pick him up and head towards the world gate. I put in the coordinates for Fossil Park America, and pull the lever. The gate opens and a blue portal forms, Claw and I jump through the portal and are immediately transported to North America. I look at my surroundings and notice that I am in a building similar to Fossil Park Asia, but the colors are dark cobalt blue, gray, and dark red. The room also has many flashy lights of different colors.

"You must be Sky! And that must be your little vivosaur!" A woman in her twenties says as she walks over to me. "The captain told us all about you." She explains. "He also filed us in on that cute little vivosaur friend of yours!" She exclaims.

"Rrrrrr…(Cute)" Claw growls confused.

"I'm Becky, one of the staff members here at Fossil Park America." Becky says. "Nice to meet you!" She exclaims. "If you follow me, I'll introduce you to my brother, Sean. He's the boss here. DO NOT ask how that happened." Becky says as she leads my partner and I to the leader's room.

We enter a room with a wide window with a view of the city. A man is starting out of the window in awe of the city's beauty of light.

"Yo, Sky!" The man says walking over to his desk to greet me. "How's it going?!" He asks. "I'm Sean! I'm the big cheese here at Fossil Park America." Sean explains. "Nice to finally meet ya!" He grins.

"Nice to meet you too." I say.

"You taken a stroll around our park yet?" Sean asks. "If not, you should check it out. It's pretty killer." Sean explains.

"Claw and I will head for it right away then, sir." I say.

"You can just call me Sean. I have no need for formalities." He explains.

"Alright then, Sean. See ya later!" I laugh, running off for the dig site known as Goldrush Canyon.

Claw jumps into my Buggy and gets buckled in like how o showed him earlier. I had been given a brand new Bone Buggy prototype called the EV-405517. I change to the sonar that Sean gave me before I took off, as well as the tires, engine, drill, hammer, and battery. "Ready to go, Claw?" I ask.

"Grrrrr(Yeah)!" Claw growls.

"Then let's take this prototype our for a test run!" I say, putting my hands on the steering wheel and stepping on the gas pedal. Almost immediately, the prototype takes of in a blast, it is only about triple the speed of my first Buggy. I only drive a few feet forward, and Claw starts to growl protectively.

"Grrrrrrrrrrr(Enemy)!" Claw growls. I start to hear my vivo scanner warn me of an approaching vivosaur. I look up and see a blue vivosaur that has a frill around its neck, my Dino Dex identifies the vivosaur as Dilophosaurus US. The Dilopho is high up on a mountain ledge. It lets out a growl, and jumps down, missing the road by a mile.

"Great job, Claw!" I say, giving my partner a thumbs up. "Now let's battle it!" I exclaim, driving towards the vivosaur.

The battle wasn't long, even if I didn't have Roland or my other friends with me. Claw was also a bit stronger, I'm not sure what rank he is, but he is starting to be kinder to my other vivosaurs now. After five more minutes of driving around, Claw and I head back to the Park.


"The brave explorer and little dino dude have returned from Goldrush Canyon!" Sean exclaims. "So? Was it totes wicked or what?" Sean asks.

"It was fun, nothing like Paradise Beach or anything that I've been to before." I say.

"If you're still not impressed, I could maybe open other dig sites for you?" Sean suggests.

"No way, mister!" Becky snaps. "This is not the time to go opening up new dig sites, and you know it!" She says.

"Whoa! Easy, Becks! Don't flip your lid." Sean says. "My head just gets all spinny when I start thinking about dig sites, you know?" He laughs.

"Not really." I say.

"Anyway, Sky, I've actually got, like, a problem I'm hoping you can help me with." Sean says.

"That's what my partner and I are here for, Sean." I say.

"Great! It's kind of a team effort and stuff, so I'm gonna have you partner up with the new guy on this one." Sean explains.

"I can work with anyone, as long as their willing to help me back." I explain, as I hear the door open from behind me. My eyes widen when I notice who walks into the room.

"You called, Chief?" Leon asks, before turning to face me. "Skylar? What are you doing here?" He asks, confused of my location in America.

"First of all, just call me Sky. Anyways, I work under Captain Stryker, and so does my partner." I say motioning my hand to Claw. "He and I are about to go on a mission in the American Branch, probably to assist you." I say. "Don't you think so, Claw?" I ask my partner.

"Gruh(Yeah)!" Claw growls.

"Yeah, Sky is sort of an experienced explorer, and knows many things about wild animals, including vivosaurs. We got a call from Stryker saying that she should be treated with the upmost respect, and ask her for help if we need any." Sean explains.

"You guys don't have to treat me with the upmost respect. Just treat me like any other Warden, because that's what I am." I say.

"Grrrrr grrrr(That's right)!" Claw growls.

"Heh, I don't have to treat you like anything, you're just a rookie that has good luck. So, do I have a job or what?" Leon asks rudely.

'He sure hasn't changed a bit.' I think as I pet Claw on the head.

"Sure do. I need you two to escort some little dude on a dig." Sean says. "He's waiting over at the Fossil Stadium. You can't miss him." Sean explains. "Oh, and I'm totally counting on you and stuff, so don't face plant. Cool?" Sean says.

"You gotta be kiddin' me." Leon sighs, and faces me. "Listen, rookie. I don't care who sent you or why you're here—I work alone." Leon sneers.

"Just cuz you're a lone wolf, doesn't mean that you have to work alone!" I snap, causing Leon to flinch in surprise.

"Huh, well I don't need any help, Skyla." Leon says, making me angry, and he walks out of the door.

"So you two already know each other?" Sean asks.

"Sort of? Both of us graduated from the same Warden class. Leon's a loner who laughs at teamwork, but I can handle it." I say, running after Leon, Claw following right behind me.

When I enter the stadium lobby, I soon see Leon, but no person to escort. Leon turns around and sees me. "Thought I told you to get lost, rookie." Leon says. "Hey, hold on a tick. What's with the vivosaur?" Leon asks looking down at Claw.

"Grrrrr(I'm Sky's partner)!" Claw growls angrily at Leon, walking up to him in anger.

"Claw says that he's my partner, which he is." I say, not holding Claw back.

"Well, here's a surly fella. You wanna go?" Leon asks. "'Cause I'll throw down right here!" Leon exclaims.

"No way! You would be destroyed be Claw. My partner chased off a rogue Gorgo that was rank twelve, and that was before he even had a Fighter." I explain.

"Then maybe I could take him off your hands for ya?" Leon says as he reaches over to pick up Claw.

"Never!" I snap, slapping Leon's hand away from my partner. "Claw is not just my partner, he is now part of my family. Just like all my other vivosaurs, they are family to me. We grow stronger together each day, and battle against all odds!" I exclaim. "Vivosaurs grow stronger from the bond that they share with their Fighter." I explain.

"Tch, leave it to a rookie to think of something like that." Leon snickers.

"Then how do you explain how a vivosaur gets stronger besides physical training?" I ask.

"…" Leon says nothing.

"Thought so." I say. "Fighters who bond with their vivosaurs can actually hear their thoughts, as well as understand what they say." I explain.

"That is a bunch of lies." Leon says.

"Fine, think whatever you want, I am still correct in the end." I say.

Leon only glares at me, before speaking. "Whatever, you're still a rookie." He says.

"Just like you." I laugh.

"Touché." Leon grumbles.

"Oh, THERE you are!" Somebody exclaims, and a kid walks over to us. He looks to be about nine years old, has dark red hair, a red birthmark on his forehead, and light gold eyes. The kid is wearing a red shirt with golden markings, as well as black shorts with golden flames on the sides. "You guys must be my escort, huh? What took you so long?!" He asks.

I am about to speak, but Leon interrupts me. "Who's this mope?" Leon asks.

"I'm no mope! I'm Lucky! I'm the VIP you're SUPPOSED to be escorting!" Lucky explains. "Don't tell me you forgot already." He sighs.

"Hey, Skylar?" Leon starts.

"Call me Sky!" I growl.

"Whatever. Lemme ask you something, one professional to another…" Leon says. "Think anyone would mind if I smacked this mope upside the head?" Leon asks.

"No, you cannot. That would be rude, and you could get suspended for weeks." I say. "Also, why would you smack him?" I ask.

"Heh heh. Just kiddin', kid." Leon laughs.

"That isn't funny." I say.

"Yes it is." Leon says. "All right, Lucky. I'll be your escort." Leon says. "C'mon. Let's beat feet for the dig site." He says.

"Um, what about your friend there? And the little vivosaur?" Lucky asks.

"Them? Just baggage. I'm all the escort you need." Leon explains, as I hold Claw back.

"That's a bad idea, Leon." I warn him, but he ignores it.

"Hmm… Well, I guess you seem strong enough to handle it." Lucky says. "But if anything terrible happens to me, there's going to be heck to pay!" Lucky warns, and Leon leads him to Goldrush Canyon.

"Come on, let's go after them, Claw." I sigh.

"Grrr(Why)?" Claw asks.

"Leon is going to get in trouble. I can sense it, and Lucky will be in danger." I warn.

"Grrrrr grrrrr grrrrr grrrr Grrrrrrrr Grrrrrrr(Then let's go to Goldrush Canyon)!" Claw growls excitedly.

I see Becky heading towards me, but I already know what she wants. "Already on it, Becky!" I say, heading for the garage.

"Oh, well good luck, Sky!" Becky shouts towards Claw and I.

"Thanks!" I exclaim driving off to Goldrush Canyon.

I head across the road, and a Pachy jumps from the cliff where a Dilopho US usually is. I then see five bone buggies, two of them belonging to Leon and Lucky. "That's Leon's bone buggy!" I exclaim, seeing the busted vehicle.

"Leon's Turf Shredder is out of commission, I summarize that the cause is the three thugs that have Lucky cornered." VR-00M says.

"Grrr, grrrr grrr grrrr grrr(Sky, what do we do)?" Claw asks.

"We save them!" I exclaim, driving toward the three thugs.

The three thugs corner Lucky's buggy, while Leon's engine is spewing out black smoke. "Wonderful." Leon grumbles.

"Heh heh heh. Looks like the psychic wonder is all ours now!" Thug A laughs.

"No hard feelings, OK? It's strictly business." Thug B says. "Still, who would have thought they'd send him out with just one a single escort? I guess got…LUCKY!" He laughs. The three then drive closer to Lucky's buggy.

"Wh–what's going on? What do you want with me?" Lucky asks, about to cry.

"We want you to find rare fossils for us! Whaddaya THINK we want?!" Thug A says. "Should be easy enough for a famous psychic squirt like you, eh?" He says.

I now reach Leon's buggy in my own. "I warned you, Leon! You didn't listen though!" I snap at him. The thugs begin to battle me, as one takes Lucky away. "Saurus Combo on Goyle, Claw!" I shout, using ten attack ups to defeat one of the Goyles, as Nate and Penny take the other one out with their own vivosaurs. The thugs drive off after warning me that they weren't even using their best vivos.

"Man, the chief's gonna bust me down for this." Leon sighs.

"No he won't, because I'm going to fix your buggy here and now." I say, getting out of my own buggy, tools in my hand. "So get over here and help me!" I say.
