Cera and Miku C.M Pt.5: Haunted Museum

(A YEAR LATER)

In the garden of the mansion, Cera(age 8) and Miku were having a picnic together with the Deinonychus Trio.

"Yummy! What a beautiful day today." Cera happily said as she took a bite of a toast with butter.

The dinosaur friends all roar happy in response.

"Cera~!"

"Hm?" Cera turn to the sound of the voice calling her and found her mother coming towards her. "Mommy!"

"I see you're having a good time." Maia said with a smile as she join her daughter's picnic.

"Yes, I am." Cera smile back. "Eating food together with dinosaur friends outside in nature was very relaxing and refreshing."

The Deinonychus trio and Miku all purr affectionately to their partners.

"You are so right. I'm proud to have dinosaur friends like Dino, Dano and Sue. They're the best friends I ever had since the day I met them." Maia smile at them.

"I'm proud to have Miku as my partner too." Cera stroke Miku's head. "Mommy, can I ask you something?"

"What is it, darling?"

"Well, I was wondering. Since Mommy already has a Dinosaur partner long like Daddy and everyone else, did you ever make the 3 do things like battle?" Cera question honestly.

Maia widen her eyes a bit to be ask by that question, but she just smile as the trio huddle each other and Maia embrace them. "To be honest, I don't really like battling and fighting."

"Why? Is it because Mommy's scared that they'll get hurt?" Cera ask.

"That's one. But it's something more than that. I've seen lots of Dino battles in tournaments that your father participated years ago." Maia answers from how she felt.

Maia reveal that battling with dinosaurs in tournaments was an OK idea to prove the bond between people and dinosaurs. However the many battles she saw, some people treated their dinosaurs poorly like pushing them to their limit without rest and even punishing them for their weakness.

The Deinonychus trio already told Maia about how they were treated years ago from their human who so-called parent in their childhood and they still hated it. When they reach adulthood, during 1 time when the human parent reunite with them, they took revenge by beating 'him' up.

It was then until Maia came into their lives and they instantly took a liking to her because she gave them the love they so long desire, but most importantly, Maia can understand dinosaurs' feelings and so the 3 decided to make themselves Maia's official dinosaur partners. Not only that, they became the first Secret Dinosaur to have a human partner.

After Maia said her answer, Cera felt sympathy for the Deinonychus trio. Cera wondered in the future, when she grow up and be a Fossil Fighter or Dino Duelist just like her father one day, she'll always remember the most important thing; show respect for the dinosaur partners and vice versa.

At night, Cera was tuck to bed when Lunensis came back home to say his goodnight.

"How was your day, Cera?" Lunensis said.

"It was good." Cera smile. "Daddy, can I ask you something?"

"Oh, about what?" Lunensis sit on the side of the bed.

Cera tell her father all about the conversation she had with Maia about what happen if dinosaurs were treated badly by their human partners.

"Oh that? Well... I've heard some stories about it. My father once told me a story about it from many, many years ago."

"You mean, my grandfather?"

"Yes. At first it was just a story but who knows..." Lunensis thought out.

"Oh please tell me! I want to know!" Cera beg.

"Well alright then, it could be your bedtime story." Lunensis then began the story he recalled.

Lunensis told Cera about once in a long time ago, dinosaurs being abandoned by humans all died together in 1 place where no one would ever notice. Losing all hope to continue living, they accept their fate to die. When one day, some people had saw some dead bodies all together in 1 place together. The people felt sorry or pity for them if they had found them earlier. So to respect them, they buried all the dead bodies in the ground they died. Until this day, nobody knows where their graves were but he heard rumors that 1 of the museums were built where their graves stands. He even heard that the despair souls of abandoned dinosaurs became a curse and form a monster called "Terrorsaurus". A Pterosaur with a power that shoots threads like a spider.

"Terrorsaurus? Is it real?" Cera said.

"Well I'm not sure about it myself. After all it's just a story." Lunensis shrug.

"What happens next?"

Lunensis continue the part about Terrorsaurus. He heard that people who dares to find the museum that was built where the abandoned dinosaurs graves were would be capture in the webs and feathers of Terrorsaurus and be eaten alive, never to be heard from again.

"That was so scary." Cera shiver as she and Miku embrace each other.

"Don't worry about it too much. It's just a story."

Lunensis reassure. "Well goodnight then. See you tomorrow." He pet his daughter's head and head off to his bedroom.

After he left, Cera put Miku on her dino bed basket as they get ready to sleep.

"Miku, do you think Terrorsaurus is real?" Cera ask.

"I don't know. You Dad said it's just a story. But from how I hear, I felt so sorry for those dinosaurs that died." Miku pitied.

"Me too. But even if it's just a story, I would like to see Terrorsaurus myself." Cera said boldly.

(THE NEXT DAY)

After school, Cera, Dorothy and Towa (without their dinos) are going to hang out in the Ancient Time Museum where they'll be spending the day together to draw a picture of their favorite history.

Inside the building, they head for the 7 treasure relics the 3 decided on. Dorothy, as a lover of the ocean sea chose the Caribbean Sea in the year 1718.

Towa dreams to be a great artist in the future, he chose Paris, France in the year 1615. After all, France is also called the city of flowers and the city of love. Because her mother's a florist, he drew many pictures of flowers especially learning their meaning and his father's a Love Master, he learned a lot of love tips from him just like himself when he was young. But because Towa's still young, he kept love aside for now until he's old enough to do it.

As for Cera, she choose Ancient China in the year 636 A.D. She chose China because she learned that Microraptors and their fossils were in China many years ago. She sees from the information panel that the fruit grown from that tree gives eternal youth and life.

After they finish their drawings, the 3 friends all meet up at the hallway entrance to show each other which treasure relic they drew.

Suddenly, the lights went out!

"Ahh! The lights!" Cera and Dorothy scream.

"Attention all customers, there's some light mechanic difficulties. Please stay calm until then." The male voice from the speaker said.

"Well looks like they're working on the light problems." Towa said in relief.

"But it's still dark. I'm scared." Dorothy said but then she smile as she take something out of her backpack. "Tada!" She flash a flashlight and turn it on.

"Ohh!" Cera awe.

"Why would you bring a flashlight anyway?" Towa question.

"Just in case we're coming home late or even a blackout happen. It's always good to be prepared." Dorothy said proudly.

"You're always prepare for anything." Cera compliment.

Dorothy guide Cera and Towa someplace to rest while waiting for the lights to come back. As she's using a flashlight, the light flash something and she screams.

"Kyaa! Something's there! What is it?!" Dorothy frightened as she hug Cera.

"Don't be scared, Dorothy. It's just a Dinosaur skeleton." Cera said calmly as Dorothy take a peek. "It's a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Looks like we've entered the Dinosaur exhibit."

"Oh. That was close." Dorothy sigh.

Just in time, the lights finally come back. "Thanks for your patience. We've fixed the lights. Please continue on learning the history." The announcer from the speaker said.

"Looks like the lights are back." Towa said.

"Yes it is. But since we're in the Dinosaur exhibit, why don't we take this last look before we head home." Cera suggest.

"Yeah, we should." Dorothy agree.

"Alright then, me too." Towa join in.

The 3 take a look around the dinosaur exhibit. They already saw Tyrannosaurus Rex, so first they take a look at it first. The information panel said that this dinosaur's name was Terry that belongs to the Alpha Gang, the henchman of Dr.Z the Dinosaur King. The other 2 dinosaurs they possess were Spinosaurus named Spiny and Saichania named Tank.

Across them, there were 3 dinosaurs that belonged to the D Team and that their D Lab had evolve into a Dream Dinosaur Element Institute which Cera heard from her mother. The dinosaurs across the Alpha Gang were a Triceratops named Chomp, a Carnotaur named Ace and a Parasaurolophus named Paris.

"Wow, the famous D Team and Alpha Gang dinosaurs all in 1 place in this exhibition!" Dorothy squel.

"Yeah." Towa nod.

While Dorothy and Towa were admiring the dinosaur skeletons, Cera heard some sort of voice.

'Be nicer to us~'

'Don't be selfish~'

"Guys, did you hear that?" Cera said to her friends.

"Huh?"

"Um... I don't think so."

"Really? I thought I heard something." Cera thought she heard something.

Just then, the voice she heard looks like it's coming from an open room in the middle of the wall between Spinosaurus and Carnotaur.

"Sounds like it's coming from there." Cera walk towards the room.

"Cera?"

"Wait for us!"

Dorothy and Towa follow Cera but little do they know, the owner of the museum spotted them. "Hm?"

XXX

"Wow, it's a room of tapestries!" Cera said in amazement.

The wall are filled with colorful tapestries. Each tapestry is a picture of dinosaur elements and the dinosaurs of their elements.

"It's so beautiful!"

"Hmm. Very artistic."

"Ah! A weaving loom!" Cera cried walking to it. "How nostalgic. My great-grandmother has 1 in her home." She said.

"A weaving loom?" Dorothy and Towa said.

"Yes. We would weave tapestries with 1." Cera recall the memories of the wonderful times her great-grandmother and her weaving tapestries while the dinosaurs watch.

"Wow~"

Suddenly, a female voice echo. "Terror~!"

"Eh?! W-Who said that?!" Dorothy said in fear.

"I have no use for selfish humans!" The female voice said in anger as she show herself.

The angry female voice make her appearance. She has dark black body of a Pterosaur but have wings with feathers and a tail. "I am Terrorsaurus !"

Her appearance made everyone scream including the owner who was hiding.

"No way! So the story my Daddy told me was true!" Cera realized.

"Y-You mean... That's the cursed Terrorsaurus!" Dorothy and Towa point.

"Be nicer to Dinosaurs!" The Terrorsaurus shoot a thick thread from her beak and aim them towards her enemies.

"Watch out!" Towa push Cera out of the way and they crash on to the floor.

"Don't be selfish!" She fired it towards Dorothy who was frozen in fear.

"Kyaa! I'm scared!" Dorothy scream as she hang beside Terrorsaurus.

"This is the curse of the dinosaurs that has been pushed around by their humans!" As she said that the spirits of all the dinosaurs appear like ghosts all looking in despair.

"This is bad!" Towa said as he hug Cera to protect her. Behind him, Cera saw the threads the monster missed. It form a spider web and it sparkles making Cera awe.

"Pay us better!" The thread shoot again firing at Cera and Towa.

"Watch out!" Towa bravely got up and spread his arms to stop. "Stop it!"

"Towa!" Unfortunately the thread bind Towa too and hang next to Dorothy.

"It's so tight! I can't move!" Towa struggle.

"Terrorsaurus, please stop it! Let my friends go!" Cera plead.

"I'm tired of hearing the requests of humans. I'll also hogtie you created from the dinosaur curse." Terrorsaurus refused then she fire another thread and bind Cera around her waist but her arms. "Now then, I'll begin my meal with you!"

"A cursed thread..." Cera hold some of the thread and look at it.

"Yes. This is the hatred of dinosaurs who have been pushed around by their humans years ago." Terrorsaurus said in anger as her eyes light up.

The light from her eyes shine on the thread somehow made Cera pity them. "But it's so pretty." Cera said as she could see many sparkles shine on the threads in different colors.

This made Terrorsaurus caught off her guard as she let Cera down. "Huh?! What did you say?"

"This thread is really beautiful. I want to make a tapestry out of this thread." Cera's eyes sparkle as she said that and began to take the loosen threads and work on it with the weaving loom.

"Cera?" Dorothy and Towa look confuse.

As Cera began to work while singing using the thread from Terrorsaurus and the weaving loom. She sings and sings until the tapestry is finally finished! Her song even made the Terrorsaurus and dinosaur spirits calm.

"Tada! Look how pretty it is. My friends and I sing like this as we weave at my great-grandparents house too." Cera show the complete tapestry. She made a picture of Terrorsaurus with her name and for the background has feathers in it. The tapestry even sparkle with colors of the rainbow.

"My cursed thread can be this beautiful!" Terrorsaurus blush and her eyes sparkles in admiration.

"How pretty." Dorothy and Towa too were amazed.

"It is. This power really isn't cursed. It really is the pure feelings of the dinosaurs cheering on their human partners. I guess they are some who really loves them from the bottom of their hearts!" Terrorsaurus cry in tears of joy as she shines and dissappear in sight along with the happy-face of the dinosaur spirits.

With them gone, Dorothy and Towa were free! Dorothy congratulate Cera for her bravery while Towa smile with his heart.

"Pterantula..."

"Congratulations." A voice appear from behind the kids. It's a bespectacled woman in a uniform. "I'm the owner of this museum. I would like to put that tapestry on display in the Ancient Time Museum. After what you did back there. I'm very much like to honor you."

"Thank you very much!" Cera smile.

After all that commotion, the 3 kids left the museum to head home. Oh! But before that, Cera ask the owner a condition for setting up that tapestry. The condition was not to reveal her name or the existence about the curse. The owner accept and of course the museum wouldn't want any thieves trying to steal and make some experiments on it.

(THE NEXT DAY)

Lots of people all gather around packed. They heard the news all about the mystery behind the strange voices and about the curse. The tapestry room was full of people who came to see the tapestry that show a sparkling picture of the mystery.

"Well, who would have thought that Cera actually see this with her own eyes. What one would never cease." Lunensis said impressly at the tapestry.

In the sky, you could see some dinosaur spirits looking all happy to be in peace

Only 1 more chapter to go and it'll be complete. I add some mystery here. Since dinosaurs have souls and spirits, I thought about how they just like the human ghosts and spirits do to haunt. So this is the idea I came up.

Terrorsaurus may have similarities with the Dark Pterosaur like being black and in spirituality. They have differences: Dark Pterosaur cause destruction of the world, while Terrorsaurus haunts like a ghost for revenge.

Terrorsaurus is a combination of Pterosaur and the power of Tarantula. That's why it has power to shoot thread like a spider while it's appearance is a bird dinosaur.

Thank you very much for the compliments.

Well after this, there's 1 final chapter to write and then moving on to the "Secret Dinosaur Princess".

As for the villains, I think it's a lot to ask. But I think just 1 is enough so I choose the BR Brigade.

The BB Bandits only just make in a talk. Sorry about that.
