Okay sorry it took so long I had a little set back, but after doing some brain storming I faced palmed the shit out of myself as I found out I was forgetting something!
I had forgotten about Cesar and the I Rex Raptor. I mean this is a JP/ME crossover. How the hell could I forget about the Dinosaurs!? (Feels the collective of multiple eyes blinking blankly at the screen.) I know!
So this is what this chapter is I'm setting the stage to explore the Dinosaur's interaction in this AU. How this mixture of different species (technically) interact with one another. How their makeshift society works. How they view each other and what terms they use.
Hopefully I did a decent job.
Reviewer Responses…..
Fallen-Ryu – Somebody is probably going to get cussed out.
AnimeA55Kicker – Thank you (bows)
Dquinnicus – The Saurians are masters when it comes to genetic engineering and they will argue that the Council HAS NO right to limit them as by their standards the rest of the universe sucks at it. By all account THEY are the authority when it comes to genetics.
Blaze1992- Oh yeah he'll be Emo and slightly more ruthless now.
OMAC001- right now I got to close this story arc as I forgot about Cesar and the I Rex Raptor.
Eyolf- (Points at screen) Mind reader!
Kaiya of Terra- (Arm goes stiff) Another one! …. Yeah Ziva will show up again in ME1 probably in the Presidium.
Alfonse08 – Chapter 5 question – Over sight on my part, but the issue has been addressed.
About Big Earl- Sigh, as I stated last chapter, from his very conception he was fated to die. (Looks at DVDs of Game of Thrones) Fuck I'm on the path to becoming a George R.R. Martin knock off! Make people love a character and just decide to slit their throats, or in this case blow them up. (Sniper takes a shot!) Sorry! Anyways I'm glad you guys loved Earl and I hope to keep the quality of work up so you can fall in love with more characters, which I will kill off. (Sniper shots cup he was reaching for.) No regrets!
Questions about Saurian Biology/Character Creation- The Genetic make up of Saurian DNA is as best as I can describe is a Genetic Cocktail of different Genes. The base is Raptor but it contains numerous strains of different DNA. I did this so if/When (crosses fingers) people decide to write stories they can have a character look like whatever they want.
Reproduction – Honestly Saurian Reproduction is pretty much the same as human. It's one of the reasons why Saurians have retractable claws so they don't tear open their mother in the womb. It's similar to how a baby doesn't breath until their out of their mother. The claws don't pop out until then and they're dull for the first few months of a Saurian child's life.
Scales- Scales can vary in color, pattern even texture in some cases. There are limits but not much.
Plumage- Like Scales, Plumage vary in color if not more so and don't really have any real limits. The Placement of Plumage is pretty much the same as our own excluding being on the body. But there can be cases of feathers on the limbs. The feathers can be dyed like human hair so a rebellious teen can dye a skull into his feathers if he wanted, it just can't occur naturally.
Hands – Saurian hands are mainly the same as ours just scaled and clawed. The real issue here we are addressing here, are the claws. The reason the claws are retractable is for the use of electronics and fire arms as the claws would get in the way of use of said equipment.
Feet- Feet are also roughly the same as ours just clawed like the hands just not retractable but are nothing but little numbs in the womb.
Biotics- Biotics work pretty much like canon, (No need to fix what's not broken,) the only difference is that all Biotics have a crested head. The crest not only contains some additional biotic nodes but also acts as a conductor for the energy. A tail tell sign that a Saurian is going to use their biotic abilities is that that the crest will spark with energy.
Splices – Oh this is where it gets complicated. Ten internet points to who can guess where they originate from. Splices are a modified version of the original Hybridization Serum. Splices were introduced so if you want your character to look like your favorite dinosaur they can. If you want them to be a Hybrid of different dinos well they can. You can also include various birds and reptiles into the mix. But your legal limits are 3 to 4. Otherwise the Saurian would start suffering genetic corruption and starts suffering from health problems. Cancer, Elephantiasis, heart failure, etc. In some cases reduced intelligence.
Goliaths – Now while technically using more than one Splice the DNA of those splice are all the same. Thus you don't have so many DNA strands fighting in your body, they're all doing the same job. That makes them the safest of the Combat splices. Now don't worry you aren't limited to just armored dinos like Ankylosaurus. They are just the base. You can also have Ceratops type dinos. The fighting style I would compare to Rhino from Marvel. These are the only two genus of dino that I can recall that can provide ample protection for a Goliath's head. Otherwise you would be left with a weak point from gun fire. If you think other dinos should be included please explain and I will adjust the information accordingly.
Tyrant – A class I have yet to introduce. A Tyrant is the opposite of a Goliath opting Extreme Defense for Extreme Offense. Instead of Herbivore DNA a Tyrant has spliced themselves with a heavy dose of Carnivore DNA. Tyrants use Tyrannosaurs as a base of their splice. But due to the extreme amount of Predator DNA Tyrants are more prone to anger due to an increase in production of testosterone.
Watchers – Created by Myyddraal is another class yet to be introduce. Watchers are Biotics that is why they haven't been introduce as most biotics, excluding one, are children at this time. Unlike Tyrants and Goliaths, Watchers can't take a beating and are not physically strong, the splices they incorporate are just meant to enhance they're already powerful Biotic abilities. There are two key traits the first are spikes on their backs, forearms and elbows, the DNA would come primarily from Kentrosaurus, the spikes are used as conductors for biotic energy and a Watchers back will often spark like a certain King of Monsters. The energy will collect on the back and the Watcher will move their arms back and touch the spikes on their back with the one on the elbows, temporality store the energy with small spikes on the forearms until they pick a target and use all that energy in one massive blast reaching Asari Matriarch levels of power.
The Second trait is a tall and skinny build and this DNA come from Pterosaurs type dinos. The Watcher have long webbed fingers and they help to collect the Biotic energy for their massive attacks. The Pterosaur DNA also gives them a light build resulting in some subclasses of Watcher to have the ability to glide. Another ability of the Watcher is teleporting but it mainly used in a defensive manner as the Watcher can't take hits like a Tyrant or Goliath. The combat style of the Watcher class is to keep an eye on the battlefield and wait for the perfect time to strike, thus the meaning for its name, Watcher.
Other classes- that is something that still needs worked out. If you have suggestions please let me know. Include Class name, combative feature, genetic makeup, and size.
Note….(Depending on the time you are reading this the information above could've been changed or added on to so please view my profile for an undated version, if it has been changed. This me can't speak for the me in the future…)
Now on to the story!
- Outskirts of New Taiyuan Park-
A small black figure jumped over a crashed car and its head perked up as it spotted a familiar sight. *We're almost at the place!* shouted Cesar. The Pura turned his head and saw the White raptor staring at eight red dots slowly descending from the sky. His eyes widened as he saw them. *No.* he whimpered remembering the last time he saw a red light like that.
*What are they.* the I Rex dino asked.
*Happiness killers.* answered the Pura grimly.
*Hmm, so you say.* the larger dinosaur said continuing to watch the bombs descend.
SCREEEEEH!
SCREEEEEH!
SCREEEEEH!
The I Rex's eyes widen at that noise. She looked at the light and then back down where she heard the roars. The THING was there and the 'Happiness killers' were headed right for it. The I Rex smirked at what was going to happen.
*White?* Cesar asked worriedly, that noise sent chills down his spine. *What was that noise?*
White that was what Cesar had decided to call her it was simple but it worked. White turned her back and walked in the direction they had been going. *Nothing to worry about,*
BOOOOOOOOM!
*Not anymore that is.* White chuckled as she jumped over car.
*If you say so.* the Pura said turning from the mushroom cloud, and faced the entrance of a park. Cesar warbled sadly as he walked thru the entrance.
*What are you crying about?* White asked curiously.
Cesar sighed *This was where we were headed before.* he whimpered some more *Alpha finally didn't decide to leave in the morning and he and Beta decided to take the pack here.* he warbled weakly *Little One and me were going to play while Alpha was going to get Beta to begin mating rituals to make another pack member.*
*Still you are shackled!* Growled White.
*They were my pack!* Screeched the Pura.
*How are they your pack when they were nothing like you!* roared the I Rex.
*Pack doesn't have to be like you to be pack as long as they love you.* Cesar stated firmly.
*Hmpth that's how they are at first.* White stepping on some grass and looked at it curiously *They feed you, pet your head gently, say nice things and then as soon as they're bored with you they stab you, taking stuff out then they stab you again put something in that burns! AND THEY DO IT AGAIN, AGAIN AND AGAIN!* she roared remembering the pain the one with needles caused.
The Pura took a step back as White had her outburst. Whoever her Alpha was must have not been a nice man, he couldn't have been a vet either you only get stab once or twice a year. But it sounded like White got stab EVERY day. *White they aren't all like your Alpha, most can show kindness.* he warbled gently.
*They won't to me.* growled White.
*You won't know until you try! You just have to give one a chance.* the Pura pleaded.
*Hmpth we shall see.* grunted the I Rex as they pass some bushes. White spotted movement "KUKUKUKUKUROOOOOOAAR!" and roared in challenge.
"HISSSSSSS!" a group of four Ultras jumped out of the bushes. *Stop right there!* hissed the lead Ultra.
*WHO DARES!?* White asked clacking her jaws in anger.
*White calm!* Cesar shrilled. *They are just making sure you're not a threat, this is their territory.* he explained preventing a fight.
White grumbled *For now.*
*What was that? You want to fight THING!* Snarled a raptor making White growl.
Suddenly a pair of jaws snapped in front of the raptor's face. *Quiet! You speak out of turn!* growled the lead Ultra as its lip twitched in annoyance at its underling. *Ignore this one, he just got put under my command.*
*The stupid need to learn their place or die!* growled the I Rex hybrid.
The underling Raptor hissed in anger looking ready to attack but backed down when the lead Ultra stood in front of him and released a rumble in his chest.
*White please stop.* sighed Cesar.
*Fine, besides crushing just one wouldn't be entertaining.* White huffed.
*Now that the tension has ended. I must ask why are you here?* the lead Ultra asked.
*I didn't know where else to go.* Cesar said bowing his head.
*Why not go home?* asked the Ultra cocking its head to the side.
*Home isn't home without them.* the Pura said whimpering.
The Ultra flinched at that *I'm sorry for your lost, I know your pain, a lot of us here do.* He sighed *Very well I permit you to pass. But you?* the Raptor said locking eyes with White. *I don't know what to make of you.* he said getting a low growl from the Indominus.
*She's with me,* Cesar said quickly.
*Then she is your responsibility any action she takes are considered yours, if she is banished you are banished, understand?* growled the Ultra.
*Yes,* warbled the Pura.
*Good, now follow me I will bring you before the Captain.* the Ultra said pasting his pack. *I don't care who is in charge while I'm gone, just make sure it's not him.* he said snorting at the Raptor that spoke out of turn.
As Cesar and White followed the Ultra deeper into the park the two of them noticed numerous Raptors in the area. To the right was a group of various raptors who were currently eating on various bits of food. Cesar wonder where they found food but his answer came when he saw small group enter the clearing, in their mouth were open back packs. The newly arrived group conversed with an older Pura, whose feathers were graying.
*That's Old Pete he's a retired port watcher and his Alpha was at work when the Big Booms happened.* Said their escort seeing where their heads were pointed. *The Captain remember that he was brought to the Station from time to time to help train some fledglings and once we started organizing Pete was one of the first that was recruited and was busted out of his house.* he warbled. *Pete's job is to determine what's edible and what's not.* he said as the bag carrying group dropped the bags on the ground and the leader, an Ultra pulled out a can with a picture of a person wearing a funny white hat and set it in front of the old Pura.
Pete walked forward and looked the can over and saw that there was a tab and pulled on it with his clawed hand. The can's top popped open revealing yellowish white pouches covered in red sauce. The Old Pura sniffed the contents, hummed in satisfaction, took one of the pouches out and ate it. *It's safe, and I'll say tasty also,* Pete said licking a bit of sauce off his mouth.
The lead forager nodded his head and grabbed the bag dumping out more cans. He then took the bag and tossed it at another Ultra who lightly growled in response. The two Ultras then went to the side, mostly to discuss where the food had to from if Cesar had to guess, but not before the lead Ultra grabbed the can of raviolis.
*Alright whose next?!* barked old Pete.
Another raptor walked forward and smugly dumped his by full of nothing but white bars.
Old Pete looked down at the bars and cocked his head to the side.
*Quite the haul right.* boasted the young raptor puffing out his chest.
The elder raptor responded by picking up a bar and throwing it smacking the young raptor in the head. *You can't eat this shite!*
*What the hell you talking about, it smells good!* roared the young raptor.
*It fucking soap you bloody moron!* shrilled Pete. * If you want to shite bubbles it will be a grand meal! Yes it smells sweet and but when the hell have you ever ate anything sweet! We eat meat you retard! Oh you should have been cast off as soon as your egg came out you mum's twat you walking pile of T Rex Dung!*
*Yeah if you bring something you think is food but Pete says otherwise don't argue* the escort said. *He'll make you feel like a hatchling with his insults.*
*I'll say he be able to get Horn Head to keep his trap shut.* White chuckled at the sight of the Ultra being cut down verbally by the Pura.
*Now make yourself useful and take this shite to the crap pile Dung Head!* the Old Pura order motioning to a pile full of various non edible, which had to its side a few corpses of the Intruders and around them were the bodies of a good number of Compys.
Cesar and White noticed something weird about the little dinos' corpse, every single one of their back side was plastered in reddish brown gore.
Seeing their looks the Guard Raptor answered their question. *Word of advice don't eat the bodies of the Intruders, seems they're poisonous, they made Compys shit themselves to death, Compys! And you know those things literally eat crap!*
*That explains my cramps earlier.* Cesar said remembering some stomach pain he had until he relieved himself. He must have swallowed a bit of flesh and blood when he killed that Intruder yesterday.
*Yeah if we could eat them we would just drag the bodies of the Intruders here and feed, but because of the poison we have to send out scouts to grab supplies, instead of stalking the intruders.* the guard stated as the three came to a playground.
The playground was built to have a medieval theme and there was a medium sized castle that had a slide coming from the top. Around it were various medieval theme playground equipment. The see-saws were catapults. Springers were naturally horses. All the equipment was all beautifully designed but they all pale in comparison to what stood in front.
In front of the castle was a T Rex that had been morph into a Dragon. Instead of the standard stubby arms of a T Rex, there were large Pterosaur wings that curved in such a way that they acted as swing sets and had invisible poles in side them went into the ground anchoring the structure. From the tail leading up to the head were stairs disguised as back spikes. The head had a Ceratops type frill to conceal the kids walking up the body. The mouth had painted on teeth as it would have been a design flaw for the structure to have sharp objects on it, as out of the mouth was a slide disguised as flames spewing from the Dragon's mouth.
The Dragon was so well detail that apparently the Intruders had thought it was an actually animal and had shot at it. Evident by the bullet holes dotting the Dragon and the bloody guns scattered around the playground. And standing by the Dragon was an Armored Raptor.
*Halt! Why have you come here?* hissed the Armored Raptor.
Cesar's eyes widen as everything clicked in his head. That explained the welcome at the entrance of the Park and why the lead 'guard' said Captain and not Alpha. They were Laws, Raptor train and used in law enforcement.
Laws were among the most respected of their kind. Not only were they great fighters but they fought side by side with their respective Alphas. Not to mention smart as all hell. The only thing that was better than was a Law would have to be a Talon a military Raptor, and the only thing to compete with them were the fabled Primals from the Lands of Origin, and maybe those like White but that was up for debate.
*Got some new arrivals here, one in particular the Captain would probably want to know about.* their escort answered gesturing his head to White.
*Ah yes I can see, yeah the Captain would want to aware of this.* the Law said looking the I Rex Hybrid over. Something about her didn't feel right.
*Aware of what?* said a voice somewhere in the castle.
The Armored raptor quickly snapped to attention and stood stiffly *A significantly larger Raptor of unknown origin Ma'am!* he shouted.
*Unknown origin?* asked the voice as a figure came out of the castle. Stepping out from the shadows was another Law Raptor her body riddled with numerous scars. On her body were, bullet wounds, stab wounds, claw marks, her tail was missing a foot of it length and the most notable was a blazing red burn on the left side of her face, and it was a fresh wound.
Cesar's body immediately bowed in submission this female's mere presence gave off waves of her being an Alpha.
White hummed as she observed the Alpha Law. She was too proud to bow but the mangled Raptor had her respect. She had survived so much and she had this fresh burn on her, but still she preservers.
*My, my, my you are a big one, where do you come from I wonder.* the Alpha Law said pacing around the I Rex as she got a feel for her.
*If you must know I come from Below.* White answered. It wasn't like she planned on going back so there was no harm in telling.
*The Network?* the Captain sniffed her *Yeah you have the scent of mildew and shit on your feet. Hmm and I smell blood. Who you kill?* she asked.
*People who needed to know their place.* White growled in annoyance.
The Law Captain hummed in agreement. *Good less scum to deal with during the cleanup.* she then turned to the Pura. *And you…* she looked him over and then sniffed him. *Well isn't this a surprise you have the blood of an intruder on you. Most of you don't kill on your own, you kill only in groups. I wonder, what makes you different?* asked the Ultra.
Cesar presented his arm with Little One's ribbon *Nothing else to live for so I have nothing to fear.*
The Law Raptor sniffed the ribbon *Smell of a child, but the scent of blood and death. I see.* The Ultra nudged something around her neck bringing Cesar's attention to a pair of dog tags. A Saurian's dog tags. *I've always been a fighter but losing my partner awoke something inside me, and I suspect it did the same to you.* She said looking into his eyes.
*When the Intruders landed they took my partner from me while I was searching a building for survivors.* she growled *I heard his screams of pain and I rushed back as fast as I could. Bastards threw something as soon as they saw me. I didn't see it, but my partner, he did.* she whimpered quietly as she remember the next part. *My partner tackled me to the ground and shielded me the best he could with his body. If he hadn't my body be burned more than it is. When I came to I woke to a world of pain, but it hurt more inside then it did on the outside.* the Captain said gently touching the burn with her hand.
*A fire was light inside me and I decided gathered who I could* the raptor said looking at the Dragon with a rumble in her chest. *We made our first kills by luring a pack of Intruders here. They shot up the big guy over there until their weapons blared and that's when we struck, ripping them to shreds.* She then paced around the courtyard *That fire became an inferno as I understood what needs to be done, we're going to bring the fight to the Intruders.*
*To them?* The Pura asked surprised.
*My pride as a Law demands I drive them out, and I'm not going to lie as part of me craves revenge.* answered the Law. *But what about you two?*
*I'm finally free and I've been itching for a fight.* White said eagerly.
*And you?* the Law asked the Pura.
Cesar didn't know what to say, he was a house pet, not a fighter. He was going to say no but a gust of wind blew and he felt something brush against his hand. He looked down and saw Little One's ribbon on his arm. If he didn't fight then there's was a chance of another child suffering her fate. He couldn't let that happen, cowardice would be an insult to Little One's memory. He looked back up from the ribbon and into the Law's eyes *I'll fight.*
A few miles away.
"AAARGH!" yelled a Saurian Civilian as he was thrown against a wall. This had to be a nightmare no way this was happening! Frist aliens than-
"Kukukukuku!" chuckled the large form of a beast as it slowly made its way towards him.
"That's impossible you can't be real! You can't be an I Rex. So get away, GET AWAY! GEAGAAAA!" cried the man in pain as the Hybrid chomped onto his body. The poor sod was throw around like a rag doll and it was until his neck snapped from a server case of whip lash that his screams stopped.
When the man went silent Carno drop the Saurian from his mouth in disappointment. He huffed picking the body back up and threw the body few feet away.
"REAAAAA!" shrilled the pack of raptors pouncing onto the body and started tearing into the carcass hungrily.
"Kukukukukuku." Chuckled the Horned I Rex as the raptors greedily ate the Saurian. He was debating whether to join, when he caught a scent. Multiple scents and one familiar. *You smell that?* he asked.
*Her.* Allo said pointing his into the direction of the blowing wind.
*The one* said a Dilo
*Who ran* finished the other.
Carno sniffed the air deeply *Hmm and she is among a gathering. One larger than our own.* the large I Rex release a deep rumble in his chest. *You trying to challenge me you bitch!* he roared in rage. *Fine if that's how you want to play it, I'll come to you and take them for myself!* he growled heading in the direction of the park.
Please Fav and review
Until next time.
