~*~Chapter 4!!!~*~
Dib woke up, lying on his back and staring at the sky, which was a blur, and seemed cracked and shattered, like a broken blue mirror. He was drenched, in some kind of pool of cool water, water that was perfectly clean and blue. He sat up and pulled himself up onto the sandy bank around the pool, mentally checking over himself for wounds. He was burned pretty badly in a few places, especially his hands and face. None of his bones seemed broken, and he only had a few scrapes and bruises. His trenchcoat was singed and torn, and one of his lenses on his glasses were broken.
Something to the left of him made a chirping sound, like a small bird or chicken or something, and he looked towards it, only seeing some very dense, fern-like, brush blocking his view. "What was that? And where am I?" He glanced around some more, noticing that he was near the end of a river in the middle of some kind of conifer forest. Huge trees, nearly 200 feet tall loomed over his head, reaching the sky, looking like giant sequoia trees. "Whoa…" Dib stood up, looking up at the trees immense height until it made him dizzy, then looked back at the ground, noticing the small bird-like tracks in the sand, and the river he must have floated down. "This is REALLY freak."
Deciding to stick o the clearer area and not trek into the forest, he started walking, following the river back up. He would look up and around at every chirp and sound. He could also hear insects buzzing in the air, which was pretty warm, and hear things moving in the ferns, but he couldn't see any living thing.
~*~*~*~
No more than fifty feet away, hidden in the trees and brush, amongst the damp ferns and mosses, Zim stirred, half-awake. The first thing he noticed was the slight burning and uncomfortable feeling he got when he was wet, mixed in with the painful feeling of the burns marking his face and body. The second thing he noticed was the feeling of something sitting, or standing, on his chest. "GIR.. get offa me…" It didn't move or make any noise, except for a soft chirp and click of sharp little teeth. Confused and wincing, Zim opened his eyes and blinked away the blur.
There, standing on his chest, was something that looked like a chicken or some other kind of bird, only it lacked any feathers and wings. It was covered instead with green scales, similar to his own color, marked with darker stripes and a whitish underbelly. It had long legs, ending in three toes, and its hands were small, but equipped with sharp claws. It had its back and tail to his face, and was nipping softly at his uniform. Zim was confused as to what it was. Nothing like this had shown up in his studies of earth creatures.
Suddenly, his eyes went wide as he felt sharp little teeth slice through his uniform and into the skin on his stomach. He cried out loud, since it hurt like hell, and batted the creature off of him. He got to his feet fast, just as the creature was coming back at him, so he kicked it into a tree, like a football. As it got booted away, it called out, and ten more of the tiny bird-like things showed up. All of them looked similar to the first one, and were all chirping excitedly, and approaching him.
Zim didn't know what the hell they were, but he knew for sure that they weren't very friendly. He turned and ran, fast, through the trees. The creatures were right on his tail, nipping at his feet and trying to pounce on him. To speed up, he extended his spider-legs and tore through the trees, not really caring where he ended up, as long as he lost those little monsters.
Finally, he burst out of the trees and into some sand instead. The sand sunk and shifted under his spider-legs, and he was forced to retract them back into his pod. The things were still after him, and he took off running in the sand, looking behind him, until he crashed into someone, and they both went into the river.
"AHHH!!!!! BURNS!! LIKE ACID!!!!" Zim flails around, in pain, trying to get back to the bank and out of the water, which was a good eight feet deep.
Someone, the one he had run into, sputtered and came back to the surface. "Zim?" Zim turned, hearing his name. "Dib?"
Dib glared at Zim and made his way to the bank as well. Then he saw the little bird-like creatures on the bank. "Are..? Are those… dinosaurs?"
All the creatures hissed and backed up as Dib and Zim exited the water, now unsure they could take both of them out. Then, as they watched, all the creatures prepared to pounce, then paused and looked to the left. One of the taller, larger ones chirped to the others, and they all ran back into the ferns, disappearing as though they weren't even there, the only evidence of their existence was their tracks in the sand.
Zim glanced at Dib, who was watching the ferns disbelieving. "What are these.. dinosaurs Dib?"
"Huh? Oh.. Dinosaurs are extinct animals that once ruled the earth.. like giant lizards" Dib blinks and grins evilly, looking at Zim. "And they were terrible horrible monsters that ate aliens by ripping them apart limb from limb and licking up all the blood and devouring the insides like someone eats the cream out of doughnut!"
Zim stepped back some, looking at the place that the small 'dinosaurs' had disappeared, then touched where the one had bit him, shuddering slightly. "Those ones were small though.. not giant…"
"They were baby ones."
Before Zim could say anything, there came a sound like nails on a chalkboard, and all the bushes around them started rustling like crazy, surrounding them in the ghastly noises, that now sounded like screams, mixed with struggle.
About two feet away, a large, five-foot animal jumped from the trees and landed on the sand. It stared at them for a moment with incredibly intelligent dark yellow eyes. It was scaled like the small bird-like ones, but its scales were a dark rust color, with black and silver markings resembling broken stripes. It had long fingers on its hand, tipped with long gashing claws, and its feet had two normal toes, while the other was drawn up in a sickle shape. It growled low at them, then opened its mouth slightly, showing its long sharp gator-like teeth.
Dib's eyes went wide when he saw the sickle claw, scenes from the Jurassic Park Trilogy playing through his head. "Zim… That's.. a raptor… oh crap.. We're doomed…" He was backing up some, keeping his eyes on the raptor before them, as well as on the brush around them. Zim was behind him, doing the same, scared out of his mind.
The raptor, seeing that it had them scared, smirked and approached them, picking who would be its target. With one fast, lightning like motion, it leapt forward and separated the two of them, pinning Dib to the ground with his hind-paw, sickle claw to the back of Dib's neck, and Zim on the ground, clawed hand at his throat. "Well well… whhhat… do weee have hhhhere…? Looksssss like lunchhhh."
Zim and Dib both freeze at that moment, both of them clearly hearing the large lizard speak in his hissy voice.
Dib winced slightly, feeling the claw scratch his skin some "Who.. what… are you? How can you talk?"
The raptor lowered his head to Dib's level, his breath smelling of rotten flesh. " Welll… ssseeeeing that you wwillll not liive to ssseeee later… I can tellll you. I am whhhat you callll a Ssssickle Claw, and my name is Psi… and I alwaysss talk."
Zim quirked an eyebrow. "I've never heard of these Sickle Claws…. Where are you from?"
The raptor turned and snapped in Zim's face. "That isss none of your consssern bug-eyed one." He was tightening his grip on Zim's neck, causing the alien to gasp for breath and moan softly, the claws biting into his neck.
Just as it seemed like the raptor would surely kill them both, something jumped out of the shadows of the brush and knocked the raptor off of them.
Psi got up to face his new opponent.
The creature before him stood around 4 foot tall. It looked similar to a very small ostrich, with a long neck, long legs and beak, but no feathers. From head to tail, it was covered in light green scales, blotched with darker patches, and blue. Its underbelly was a very pale green. Along its beak was red and orange. It was holding a staff carved out of wood, with patterns etched into it with a laser, or fire. Her eyes were a pale blue, and very intelligent as well. "Get out of here now Psi, this area is off limits to your kind." This one was a female, and had a soft, but kind of scritchy voice.
Psi narrows his eyes and growls at her. "Curse you Fleet-Foot, I am here for the aliens."
She was standing between Psi and Dib and Zim, blocking his way to them. "You'll have to get through me Psi, and the whole Fleet-Foot army to get them.. They are ours!"
Psi looked at the brush, knowing he couldn't fight against all the Fleet- Foot's. "Fine, but be warned that I will come back for them…" He turned and fled.
She turned to Dib and Zim, smiling to the best of her ability with a beak.
Dib looked at her, amazed and smiled. "Whoever you are.. thank you." Zim was listening, shocked and scared some, rubbing at the claw marks on his neck.
The Fleet-Foot nodded her head slightly. "My name is Zyp, and you are welcome. We should probably get out of here."
"What are you?" Dib was looking at her curiously, having never seen a dinosaur that resembled her really.
"Um.. well.. I uhh… am a perfectly normal Fleet-Foot…" She looked at them and grins, then sighs and shakes her head. "Ok.. I am a terrible liar… I'll show you what I really am.. but after we get to my home…"
