Chapter II: The Motley Pack

Edward slapped his hand on the engraving and he was suddenly dipped into an impermeable darkness. "What the!" He said aloud.

The hood figure's voice filled the darkness. Just prove your leadership to your colleagues and you can come back, but until then, good luck…

Suddenly, as scenery was laid out before Edward's eyes. Tall thick trees filled the area accompanied with various shrubs vegetation. The sky was a bright blue and the air fresh. Having gained back his sight, Ed was able to realize that there were a few changes about his body. But before he could investigate any further than apprehension, a large creature burst through a cluster of trees. And now we are back to the beginning.

Edward continued on a little smoother than before as he was now up to date on his reasons for being here. He quickly glanced back at the thing chasing him. It had an enormous jaw lined with curved teeth. The back had a little ridge to it. Three clawed fingers equipped each small arm and massive legs drove the powerful predator. It was an Acrocanthosaurus aka Acro.

Edward finally understood; he was sent back in time, to the Cretaceous period. Im a freaking dinosaur! He thought to himself. What the hell does that have to do with… anything! A loud snapping noise brought his attention back to the present. I got to get away from this thing. So as he ran on he tried to find any advantages. Looking down at his body he knew he was a lot smaller than the beast that's after him. He suddenly sensed an extra limb extending from the back of him. It was a tail. It pointed straight out like a balancing beam. Ed slightly bent it to the right and leaned with it. He made a smooth turn and gained some headway from the monster. He did it again, this time to the left and gained more distance. After about five minutes of this, the giant was nearly lost. Out of impulse, Edward sped up a fat tree and sat on a thick branch. Up here he could see the dinosaur sniffing around searching for his prey, but Ed was downwind so that was no good. As soon as the beast left he jumped down from the tree landing gracefully on his feet. "Wow, this body is pretty tough." He said to himself.

"Not for long."

Edward backed up as a tall creature stomped toward him.

"What the hell have you done to us?" The dinosaur asked.

Ed tilted his head. The voice sounded familiar. "Mustang?"

"Yes, now please answer the question." Mustang's eyes were turned to thin black slits.

"Uh—You see…" Edward began to explain as an entire pack of angry looking dinosaurs emerged from the bushes behind Mustang. By process of elimination, Ed was able to tell that they were the Colonel's staff.

"I can't believe I have actually turned into one of these horrible beasts!" A tubby dinosaur cried.

A smaller timid one stood to the rear of the group. "Al?" Ed asked.

The creature looked up and swiftly made his way to Edward. "Brother, I knew transmutation circle was no good…"

"What transmutation circle?" Mustang demanded.

So Edward explained to them about the strange man and his engraving. Afterward, the group looked even angrier than before, almost rabid.

"I don't know for some reason I thought you were old enough to stick away from stuff like that." Mustang said.

"Well, If you all didn't laugh at me maybe I wouldn't have done this!" Edward shouted and stomped a foot.

"I'm sorry if your too shor—

"This is not helping at all. We need to all stay calm and find a way back to our time." The Hawkeye dinosaur spoke

"Well, you heard the voice we can't leave until, Chief here proves himself." Havoc spoke.

All eyes were suddenly placed on Edward. He took a deep breath and thought for a moment. "Let's get out into a bigger opening, maybe we can find something to help us out there." He said in a small voice.

So Edward's motley pack walked south for a while trying to find a clearing. Ed and Al lead and the rest followed, Mustang brought up the rear. Edward examined his brother as they continued.

So I guess I look like that too. He thought. They all had pointed snouts, slender S-curve necks, compact bodies and on the inner toe of each foot sat an extremely large curved claw that was retractable. They were a pack of infamous Utahraptors, the largest of the raptor family; reaching a little over twenty feet in length. And they were in the middle of the most dangerous season of all. Mating season.
