It was now 12 am in the morning, Twilight was still asleep but once again she was having a strange dream. As well as a voice.

They're the Earth's first fighters. The Ultimate Predators, and they once ruled the world.

In her dream, she even saw flash frames of large reptiles.

And then a loud roar.

The roar was enough to bring her to full awake. Twilight looks around her room.

Just a dream. She said relief.

She then heard a howling sound as she looks outside. And sees a huge blizzard that came in an hour ago.

I really hate to be out there. Said Twilight. Who knows how long something can last out there.

Twilight soon went back to sleep.

Meanwhile the female Velociraptor named WhiteTip just came back to her den. Where her 3 chicks were waiting for food. WhiteTip hasn't done well on this hunt, she was only able to catch a squirrel off guard. But a good meal for her young. But even has to feed, the only big enough food source near here is a deer carcass. It's frozen, but it will do. Luckily her den is in a good place, completely sheltered in a cave.

And being out in the open, is a death sentence.

And nothing was outside within a 10 mile radius

Expect for one.

Out in the blizzard, the leader of the over grown Velociraptors is struggling through the storm. She and her pack were out on a hunt, and were force to cut it short when the storm hits. But the leader has gotten lost, and now her body is slowing beginning to shut down. Her kind was more adapted for a warm tropical climate, but now she is close to collapse. She kept calling for her sisters, hoping to get a respond. But the howling wind muffled him.

Then she saw a source of light at the edge of the forest. Using whatever strength she has left, she walks over. Then she stumbles and cuts her left leg. But she got up and can not let that to slow her down. And continues towards the light source, as it turns out, it was actually Fluttershy's place.

Fluttershy was woken up by the loud screech outside. She went to the window and saw the Raptor, but she couldn't make out she was from the wind. But soon the animal collapse, she quickly got her winter gear on and went outside. When she came to the dinosaur, it was already unconscious.

Oh, you poor thing. She said. I better get you inside.

She soon got the dinosaur on a sled, and pulls her inside.

Half an hour later, Fluttershy has managed to tend the Raptor's leg. It was a minor injury, but she'll recover. But Fluttershy quickly realize it was the mystery creature everyone has been seeing. Even though she felt uneasy, but she took a closer exam of her body. Surprisingly she notice that her body design looks a lot like a bird's, since she doesn't know yet that birds have evolve from small predatory dinosaurs. She also notice that her body being so sleek and streamlined means that she is a high speed sprinter. But the most threatening feature of this creature was it's claws. 3 on each hand and foot, but the big toe has a large toe claw 9 inches long. She didn't want to know what it was used for.

But she notice that the raptor is a predator, her mouth was armed with small, but sharp teeth curving backwards. Teeth that curve back, means it can pull a large chuck of flesh off of something. Knowing that she'll wake up soon, Fluttershy pulls a muzzle on her.

An hour later, the Velociraptor begins to stir and starts to wake up. Fluttershy has been watching since. Soon the raptor shot her eyes open, and raised her head trying to work out where she was. She then notice the muzzle on her snout, she tries to remove it, but can't get a grip. She was also in a large cage, Fluttershy didn't want to risk having a sudden attack when she woke up.

She starts slamming the cage like mad, trying to break free. Fluttershy knew she will only worsen her leg.

Okay, okay. She said. Please stop, it's alright, you're safe now.

The raptor then reaches out of the cage with her arm almost scratching her.

Fluttershy checks herself to see if she was hurt. But luckily, the claws missed her by a inch.

How dare you? HOW DARE YOU?! She yelled. Listen here, reptile! I may not know what you are, but just your bigger than me, doesn't mean you get to be a bully!

Fluttershy then uses her Stare on the raptor, which was threaten looking even for her.

You may have Big claws, and sharp teeth! She yelled. But you not, I repeat, you do NOT, HURT ME OR ANYONE IN THIS HOUSE!

The Velociraptor has never seen a creature smaller than her, be so brave. And she cowered down like a scared dog.

Well? Fluttershy said raising an eyebrow.

As the raptor took a step back, she place some weight on her left leg. And drops down from the pain.

There, there, you'll be better soon. Fluttershy said calming the dinosaur down. Now, just lay down, and sleep.

The raptor was too tired and injured to continued being raged. So she lied down on the soft bed that Fluttershy has place in the cage. Surprisingly the raptor couldn't believe how soft it was. She soon curls in, and falls asleep.

And soon Fluttershy went back to back.

Meanwhile in Canterlot, Celestia was doing some late night reading. But she couldn't stop thinking about Twilight's letter and drawing she scent her yesterday. Then her thoughts were interrupted when a loud roar was heard outside, and then a loud thud came after. Not thinking clearly she went outside to see what was going on. And she soon finds what it was. But was in for a shock.

Right in front of her, was a large horned animal, and another next to it. The one on the ground was not moving at all, and it's friends seems concern. After a closer look, Celestia immediately knew it was dead. Then the other one notice her and seems panicked. Both were unsure of what to do.

At first Celestia thought it was a dragon of somekind, but realize this was a different kind of animal. The creature was just about the same size as she was, and wasn't sure how to act on this newcomer.

What Celestia doesn't know, is that this creature is a famous dinosaur, called Triceratops. A large ceratopsian, growing up to 25 to 30 feet long, and weigh 12 tons. But this one was only a youngster, not even matured yet. He and his friend has gotten separated from their herd when the snowstorm struck. This species is more adapted for a warmer climate. But now, Cold snap and Hypothermia has killed this youngster, and it's killing him too.

Luckily the Triceratops are gentle herbivores, and instinctively he follows Celestia inside. Celestia soon brought him into a stall big enough for him, with plenty of hay. And was soon asleep.

Meanwhile the other 3 over grown raptors are in their cave, not knowing what happen to their leader. But it was now too cold to go out now. It's best to try again of something in the morning.

Meanwhile at sea, a large object bumps into a ship. The crew members went outside and saw a half a carcass of a large sea turtle Archelon. A whole bigger is bigger than a Leatherback Sea Turtle. Then the ship was bolted upwards by a huge sea monster, then with a massive clamp of it's jaws. It crushes the ship, and the creature came down in the water with a huge splash.

Species Shown:

One more hint, The leading raptor is the last surviving member, and will reappear this summer.
