Chapter 4: The Cyber-Raptors

Rory, Zach, and his father Scott walked together down a path investigating the world around them. Something was not right about Jurassic Planet. They stayed on the black road that ran between all the dense, green vegetation. Zach and Scott were in front while Rory walked behind them. Suddenly, Rory thought he heard something behind him. He turned around and saw a Silence multiple yards down the road, staring at him with its cold black eyes. Rory remembered these creatures well. They were part of the organization that kidnapped Amy and made it impossible for them to ever raise their daughter Melody. Rory marked his hand with a tally so that he'd know that the Silence were here. Then, he turned around and forgot that it was ever there.

"This is so cool." Zach said, admiring the fact that he was on another planet.

"Be careful." Scott said. "We don't know what creatures are here."

"There aren't any." Zach said. "The park isn't open. There's nothing here yet. If there were, we'd probably have seen or heard something by now."

"Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it's not there." Rory said. "Trust me."

The three of them kept walking until they found a door on the right side of the road. Surrounding the door was a large glass wall. This was clearly the entrance to some sort of cage or enclosure.

"There's got to be something in there." Zach said.

"Let's not find out." Scott said.

"That's the whole reason we went investigating. We're supposed to find out what is here. This door is here and there's something inside. We should check it out." Zach said.

"It's too dangerous." Scott said. "We're on another planet two thousand years in the future. There's no telling what kind of creature is in there."

"I'll check it out if you both want to wait out here." Rory said.

"That's stupid." Scott said. "You can't go in by yourself."

Rory opened the silver metal door with ease. It was not locked. Suddenly, they heard a sharp cry coming from inside the enclosure. Zach, always the adventurous one, ran inside to see what it was. Rory and Scott quickly ran after him. The three of them were then running through Jurassic trees and bushes in order to find the source of the cry. After a few moments, they found a baby dinosaur that had just come out of its cage. Zach and Rory recognized this creatures as a baby raptor. However, there was something different about this dinosaur. It looked almost like a robot. There was no skin on the top of its body. Instead, there was a silver metal shell. Its face was covered by a silver helmet that covered it, but still allowed the creature to open its mouth and reveal its razor sharp teeth.

"What's wrong with it?" Zach asked.

"It looks like something I've seen before in my travels with the Doctor." Rory said.

"You've seen this before?" Scott asked.

"I've seen something like this before." Rory said. "It looks like this raptor has somehow been breeded or mixed with...the Cybermen."

Suddenly, three full grown raptors with silver Cyberman metal on them (just as with the baby) appeared out of the trees and stood on the other side of the baby, opposite from the humans.

"Easy." Scott whispered. "Let's just back away slowly."

"You really think that will work?" One of the raptors asked, in the vice of a Cyberman.

"You can talk?" Zach asked.

"You speak English?" Rory asked.

"Yes." The same raptor said. "We are not raptors. We were created to be better. We are Cyber-Raptors and you are endangering our child."

"You don't need to eat us." Rory said. "Cybermen don't need to eat."

"This is correct." The Cyber-Raptor said. "You will be upgraded. You will be converted. You will be like us."

"We're humans." Rory said. "We can't become like you."

"Then you will be deleted." The Cyber-Raptor said. "Delete. Delete. Delete."
