Chapter 4

The Extreme Dinosaurs were resting up from their latest encounter with the raptors. Of course, they were all on alert. The raptors were known to cause chaos any second and they didn't want to let them have a chance. Stegz was on his computer trying to look for anything that might spark their interest. T-Bone was making sure he was strong enough to take down anything the raptors could throw at them. Spike was doing the same by meditating to keep his mind calm. And Bulleye … Bulleye was watching the TV. He claimed he was watching the TV just in case the Raptors might pop up but the three of them knew he was on there for the infomercials. Chedra, their Quadrian companion, was going over any laws that might help them.

"You know it has very quiet. We have never had this much inactivity from the raptors." Stegz said.

"Yeah, it is too quiet even for them. Who knows what they are planning?" T-Bone said.

"Maybe those three have finally given up in the wild plans." Chedra said to T-Bone.

"As much as I would like to believe that, I don't think that we will ever have a moment's piece for those three." Spike said to Chedra.

"Hey, an alien can dream, can't she?" Chedra asked.

"Yeah, we all can dream. But it takes more than a thought for a dream to happen." Bulleye said.

"Yeah, we know of your dreams and it involves any product that you see on TV." Stegz said while chuckling.

"Hey, I can't help myself." Bulleye said.

Before either of them could reply to Bulleye's comment, the radio started to make noise. At first, it was static but then all of them heard what sounded like a voice. It was clear at first but eventually they could all understand who was talking. It was Spittor. Somehow he had hacked a radio frequency to contact them but why?

"Spittor to Extreme Dinosaurs? Can you hear me?'

Getting on the computer, Stegz was able to use a computer program to communicate with Spittor and said "This is Stegz here. What do you three want?"

"Well, we have a bit of a situation and we need your help." Spittor said back.

"What situation are we talking about?" Stegz asked.

"Well, the situation involving a human turning into a raptor." Spittor said.

"What? How is that possible? The only person who could do that is Argor and we have no idea where he is, right Chedra?" Stegz asked.

"No, I have kept in contract with certain members that are trustworthy and they haven't heard or found him yet." Chedra said back.

"Well, even if we did suspect Argor, the way the child transformed was different." Spittor said.

"Child? How old is he?" T-Bone asked.

"Well, according to the child, he is 10 years old. His name is Harry and he was abandoned by his care-takers. It was by chance that he stumbled upon our cave."

"We will have to look into this but you said the transformation was different?" Stegz asked.

"Well, what I know of how we were transformed was because various chemicals and gases. How Harry transformed was because a flash of light." Spittor explained.

There was silence on both ends. Both sides were in thought. Spittor was wondering if the Extreme Dinosaurs thought they were setting up a trap. The Extreme Dinosaurs were thinking about the same thing but with caution. Chedra was wondering if Argor really had come back but if he did, then she would have detected any anomaly.

"So what do you need us for?" Stegz asked.

"Well, I might be one of the smartest in the bunch but I think I need your and Chedra's help to determine what really happened." Spittor asked.

"And of the child? T-Bone asked.

"Not in a good condition. Right now he is a real panic. Not to mention he looks underfed even in his new form." Spittor replied back.

"That does sound serious. Okay, we will agree to help as long as this is a trap of sort. What is your location?" Stegz asked.

"I will send you our coordinates on your computer. I don't like to be rude but I think we need to nip this in the bud as fast we can." Spittor said.

"Okay, we will try to gather any equipment that might help us. Over and out!" Stegz said while ending the transmission.

"Are you sure we can trust them?" T-Bone asked.

"Normally, I would say no but this situation sounds sincere." Stegz said to T-Bone.

"I will gather any technology while Stegz gets the coordinates. After that, we will head out." Chedra said.

After a minute later, the Extreme Dinosaurs started to pack up whatever they could. Instead of taking their mini vehicles, they decided to take the space ship that Chedra had. The location of the Raptor's cave wasn't that far away. It didn't take much time even though they were trying to stay under the radar just in case they were spotted. Chedra landed the space ship down and the group exited out of the ship into the cave. Inside they came across their nemesis the Raptors along with the newly transformed raptor.

"He does look shook up." Spike said.

"Well, wouldn't you if something like this happened to you?" Spittor snapped back.

"Sorry!" Spike apologized.

"Enough of this! Chedra, Spittor and I will use a mix of Earth and Quadrian technology to figure out why Harry has turned into a raptor." Stegz said.

"Meanwhile, you two can tell me more about the boy." T-Bone said to Bad Rap and Haxx

While Bad Rap and Haxx were telling T-Bone what Harry told them, Stegz and Spittor were trying to get coax Harry out of his panic state. It did take a while but finally allowed them to perform some tests. It started out by taking a good look at Harry to see if they were any anomalies. Then they drew some blood samples which took some coaxing. Then finally after series of scans, they finally had the information that they needed.

"Well, so what is the prognosis?" Haxx asked.

"He's not sick, Haxx." Bad Rap snapped at Haxx.

"I was just asking." Haxx asked.

"Well, what I can tell is that Harry has the similar changes to what happened to all of us minus the same method." Stegz explained.

"Huh? What do you mean minus the same method?" Bulleye asked.

"Well, his DNA is altered the same way we were turning do to Argor but there aren't as much as chemicals and gases used. It is almost like somebody took a copy and pasted it on Harry here with some differences." Spittor explained.

"That almost sounds like magic." Spike said.

"Well, if you think about it, yes. We have had encounters with creatures that could be considered magical. So the possibility magic exists and caused this changed is possible." Stegz said.

"Now that you mention, Harry did say he wished he was as strong as us. Do you think that his wish turned him into a raptor by copying what either of us looks like?" Haxx asked.

"Normally, I would so no but with the data we received, it might be plausible." Stegz said.

"Now what?" Bad Rap asked.

The cave was silent for a while. Both sides didn't know what to say and Harry decided to keep quiet. He knew that it wasn't a good idea to involve himself in things like this. When he did, things turned bad out for him. But he wanted everything to turn out better. Hopefully, what he was about to say wouldn't ruin anything.

"Well, can't we find a way so I could stay with Bad Rap, Haxx and Spittor?" Harry asked speaking for the first time since his panic attack.

"You want to stay with them?" Bulleye asked.

"Yes, I do. I haven't had a real care of compassion since I was little. I barely remember my life before the Dursleys and that was the only love I knew. After that, there was nothing." Harry said quietly.

"I don't like it, but the kid has seemed to have an attachment to you three. The attachment seems natural. I can't detect any artificial chemical that could have caused it. I don't want the kid to go through this again." Stegz said.

"We promise that we will be good. Before the transformation, the kid convinced us that what we were doing was bad. Not to mention, it would backfire on us. The kid suggested maybe we find a tropical place to stay." Bad Rap said.

"Well, it is true that if you had gone through your plans, heating up this planet would have covered all landmasses underwater which would left no place for you to rule or conquer. He is a smart kid." Stegz said.

"Maybe if we convince the authorities that you have turned over a new leaf, they might go easy on you. Of course, it would be better if we found some authorities that wouldn't turn you over to scientist that would want to dissect you three or four. That might put a damper on your relationship." Chedra said.

"I think that is the best for all of us. Maybe England would be a good contact. The kid is from there. His accent before was English and it is still now just slightly." Bad Rap suggested.

"Maybe Prince H can help. He probably can found about Harry's birth parents and how they died." Stegz said.

"While that is happened, we can focus on the kid. His weight is below normal. When he transformed into his raptor form, it kept any damages from his human body. He is underweight. His muscles and nerves are in poor shape. There are bruises from before. The good thing is that his eyesight has improved. Thanks to the raptor's eyesight, he can see better than ever." Stegz explained.

"Well, what are we waiting for? ….. Oh sorry, are we invited to come back with you guys?" Haxx asked.

"It would be best if we kept on you three just in case. Alright everybody, let's head to the ship and head back to base." Chedra said.
