Chapter 5
After some convincing, Bad Rap was allowed to help move Harry into the ship. Of course, Bad Rap was the one who was the most who stayed by him the most. Haxx and Spittor were near him but they left Bad Rap alone. Bad Rap was the best when it came to caring for family and they all saw Harry as family. Even before they were transformed into their hybrid forms, Bad Rap was one who cared about his siblings. Even now even though he insulted them, they knew that he cared even though he never showed it. The rest of the Extreme Dinosaurs plus Chedra looked at the group.
It took awhile but they landed at the Extreme Dinosaur's base of locations. Bad Rap and T-Bone both carried Harry out of the ship and into the house. Porcupine McVeils did notice what was going on but unless involved him, he stayed out of the dinosaurs business. Harry was put on a bed so he could get some sleep (all of them agreed that Harry needed it.) After seeing him sleeping, the Extreme Dinosaurs and the Raptors went into living room waiting for Harry to wake up. Of course they were discussions from what to do with the raptors to how to get Harry healthy.
It was about 3 hours later when Harry woke up. Of course, Harry thought he was back at the Dursley's. Harry thought that his encounter with the Raptors was a dream just like his dream about the flying motorcycle. Neither of those things could happen, right? Harry arose and looked around. This wasn't his cupboard and it wasn't the Dursley's. Harry wanted to see he was dreaming so he decided to pinch himself. Of course when he did try, the pinch felt harder than usual so he looked at his hands. That's when he saw his claws. Harry thought he was dreaming again but he saw the puncture in his skin or scales. That's when Harry started to freak out …. Again.
"Well, at least he got some sleep but I didn't expect him to be freaking out." Chedra said.
"Well, the kid got turned into a Raptor. He probably thought he was dreaming and to find out this was all real." Stegz explained.
"So how do we deal with it?" Chedra asked.
"How about I try to consul him? I do care about family and we three Raptors consider him family." Bad Rap asked.
"You do?" T-Bone asked.
"He might have not been borne a Raptor but he needs a family. We are probably all he has now unless we can find any 'better' relatives." Bad Rap said while angrily thinking about Harry's last caretakers.
It took a moment but T-Bone decided it might help so T-Bone and Bad Rap decided to head into the room Harry was staying in. Harry was once again curled up into a ball like last time. They had to find a way to get him used to his new form if this raptor form was permanent. Bad Rap went over to Harry to get Harry to look at him. Harry looked at Bad Rap and the other dinosaur. He looked confused again and started to roll up into a ball. Bad Rap stopped him and stared at him intensely.
"Harry, you have to stop this. None of this is a dream. You are now a raptor. You have to get used to this." Bad Rap explained.
"But I am scared. Aunt Petunia always told me I was a freak and she was right." Harry said while looking down.
"Harry, you are not a freak. Forget what your aunt said. Just because you looked different from before doesn't mean you are a freak." Bad Rap said while trying to encourage him.
Harry looked up at Bad Rap. He hated to admit it but Bad Rap had a point. The Dursleys had always hated anything that wasn't normal and put labels on them. They always liked their perfect world but the world wasn't perfect. Harry knew this because he was aware that every person or creature was different. True, this form was going to get some used to especially the posture but Harry had dealt with tough situations before.
"This will take a lot of adjusting but I think I can try to get to this new body." Harry said while looking at both Dinosaurs.
"That's all I like to here, Harry. Maybe we can introduce you to the Extreme Dinosaurs. You were in shock when they arrived so introductions weren't available at this point. First of all, this is T-Bone leader of the Extreme Dinosaurs." Bad Rap said.
Harry got up and shook T-Bone's hand or this case claws. Then Harry started to walk around getting used to his new body and his feet. The thing that Harry noticed to most is that his vision had improved. Of course, he had read that people believed that dinosaurs had better eyesight than humans. Of course since no one could prove that, it was just a theory. Harry followed both Bad Rap and T-Bone into the next room. In it were a bunch of Dinosaurs and a blue skinned lady.
"Harry, I would you to introduce you to the Extreme Dinosaurs. The Stegasaurus on the computer is Stegz. The Pteradactyl watching TV is Bullzeye. The Triceratops with watering his indoor garden is Spike. Finally, the blue-skinned woman is a Quadrian named Chedra." Bad Rap explained.
"There really are aliens out there?" Harry asked.
"Well, yes. This base is next to Roswell which does have some alien mysteries but I haven't encountered anyone of them. Two Quadrians have been to the planet. Besides me, the other Quadrian was Argor who caused the Extreme Dinosaurs and the Raptors to exist in the first place. No one knows where is now." Chedra explained.
"So now what?" Harry asked.
"First, we have to deal with you. When we did a scan to determine how you became a raptor, several injuries had transferred over to your raptor body. Your nerves and muscles needed to be repaired and your weight is below normal. I can mix up a solution that will strengthen your muscles and nerves. As for your weight, you will probably need to eat more than a normal raptor should." Stegz replied.
"As for the other thing, we can find about what really happened to your parents. You said that they died in a car crash. Not that I don't think that you were lying but it seemed vague. Your aunt and uncle might have lied to you. I don't know why but considered how they treated you, they might have extended that situation to lying about certain situations." Bad Rap said.
"We have met a prince for England before. He might know something about your parents. Maybe he can find some other relatives or family friends. Not that we want to separate you from the Raptors, but if you can't be placed with the raptors, we need an alternative solution. And if that doesn't work either, we can take you in." T-Bone said.
"That sounds good but I am getting pretty hungry. Also I need a new name. Harry might be human name but a raptor named Harry seems a little weird." Harry said while chuckling.
"Food won't be a problem. We have some Mexican food that we can fix up. As for your name, Harry doesn't seem to fit with your new form." Spike said.
"How about Bolt? It might seem weird but we don't know how fast he is but we are pretty fast and he does have the lightning bolt scar on his forehead." Haxx said.
"Bolt, Bolt. I like that and before when I was human, I was pretty fast. I had to be fast when Dudley and his gang play Harry Hunting." Harry said.
Bolt could hear growls when he said the word Harry Hunting but he had to expect this. The moment that the Raptors heard his story about the Dursleys, he could see anger coming from them. It wasn't the same anger that came from Dursleys, this anger was different. It wasn't directed at Harry and it was a powerful rage. The Dursleys got angry but their anger was at lower level. Not to mention that the Dursleys did have claws that could rip a person apart.
"Listen, I know that the Dursleys might have treated me horribly but I don't want you to kill them. What if you guys get locked up? Then I will lose family that I just gained." Bolt pleaded to the Extreme Dinosaurs and the Raptors.
There was a moment of silence and then Bad Rap spoke, "Bolt, we are not killers. Yes, we all thinking it would nice to cause harm to the Dursleys but what would that accomplish? Like you said, we would be taken away and you would be in a situation worse than before."
"Yeah, we just meet and there are plenty things we can teach you. You still need to learn how to defend yourself. Sure, you could watch videos on how raptors attack but it is better with personal training," Spittor replied.
"Not to mention we would lose the bonding if you were taken away from us." Haxx said.
"Trust me kid, there are more legal ways to deal with the Dursleys and with Chedra here, we can make the situation better." T-Bone replied.
"Yeah, if we can get the right information from you and find the right laws, we can have the Dursleys locked up for a long time. Also, Prince H can help us there. I don't know British laws but he can." Chedra said.
Bolt didn't know what to say but he can over to Bad Rap and gave him a big hug. Bad Rap let it come since this was making Bolt happy. Spittor and Haxx came closer to make the situation better. The Extreme Dinosaurs decided to let this moment happen by themselves so they left to do things by themselves. Bullzeye and Spike went into the kitchen to fix up a meal for everybody. T-Bone decided to go outside to release some anger. Chedra and Stegz got on the phone and started to call Prince H to help with this situation. In the corner, Porcupine was drying his tears after seeing the embrace that was happy. He hoped that this kid would have a happy life from now until the end of time.
