I have returned, my friends!
This chapter may be shorter but it leaves on a 'bad' cliffhanger.
Before we begin, I bet most of you loved Deinonychus as a ninja. The reasoning behind that is I always saw the small raptors ( smaller than Utahraptor) as ninjas, so I gave Terrible Claw the abilities of a ninja.
And here is his file:
Deinonychus- terrible claw
Dinosaur- Dromaeosaur
Found in- Hesperia( now Vytal)
Height- 6 feet
Length- 11 feet
Weight- 150 pounds
Type of unit: Ninja
Melee attacks: Teeth, hand claws, and especially the Terrible Claw
Abilities
Teleportation (Only found in DNA-enhanced version)
Range attack/s: A DNA-ENHANCED version can charge and emit energy shurikens. These sharp blades are not only useful in stopping fleeing opponents, but occasionally can be used to pin a target.
Appearance: Primeval Raptor
And now, onto the chapter!
Darrel was currently sitting on his bed, head down, foot thumping. His team and RWBY were also there.
"He's been doing this for an hour." Matthew said regarding his team leader's condition.
"Darrel, what's wrong?" Blake said, concerned deeply about what troubling her boyfriend.
"You know what tomorrow is?" Darrel said.
"Wednesday." Ruby stated.
"Yeah, not only that, but also... Parent-teacher conferences." Darrel said with fear.
"So? What about it?" Yang inquired.
"My parents. I'm afraid what they'll think about you, Blake." Darrel said, motioning to Blake.
"I'm sure that you're parents will like me, Darrel." Blake said to try and cheer him up.
"Well one can hope, Blake. One can hope." Darrel said.
Wednesday came. Multiple parents arrived from the airships. Teams RWBY & DIMD awaited for Darrel's parents.
Two people departed. Both had a complexion similar to Darrel, but the one on the left had long brown hair and the other had short black hair with a few grays in it as well as the same type of facial hair as Darrel but more bushier. He also wore glasses. The female had a green short sleeve shirt, blue jeans and white shoes. The male had a short sleeve navy blue shirt, black jeans, and black boots. The female also was carrying a baby carriage.
"Mom! Dad!" Darrel said with glee as his parents embraced him in a tight-ish hug.
"My friends, this is my mom, Jean, and my dad, Henry." Darrel said introducing his parents. A faint cooing sound came from the baby carriage.
"Oh and this," Darrel said lifting his baby sister, Catherine up. Catherine looked the same as his picture of her, except she was now more developed. That, and she was wearing a pink onesie.
His friends cooed & awwed at the sight of his baby sister.
"So my angel boy, how are things here?" Darrel's mom asked.
"Great: I am the leader of my own team and... I have a girlfriend." Darrel said first proudly then nervously.
Which of you young ladies is my son with?" Darrel's mom motioned to team RWBY.
Blake stood forward. "I'm Darrel's girlfriend." Blake said, nervously.
"Are you making him happy and is he making you happy?" Darrel's mom asked.
"Yes & yes." Blake said.
"Then you are perfectly fine in my book." Darrel's mom said calmly.
Eventually, after introductions, Darrel's parents left to see how their son's grades were doing, and left Catherine with him.
Darrel had Catherine in his room, currently playing peek-a-boo. Each time he did it, Catherine just giggled and it was cute.
There was a knock at the door, and Blake entered.
"Hey. I came to play with you're baby sister." Blake said in a cute manner.
Catherine simply cooed and held her arms out and clenched her fingers, a sign that she wanted to be picked up.
Blake lifted her up and started rocking her. Soon, Catherine yawned, rubbed her eyes, and slowly fell asleep, her faint snoring sound the only sound coming from her.
As Blake gave Catherine back to her boyfriend, he laid her down on his bed, and covered her up with a small blanket he had with him.
As they watched her sleep- as well as having a small make-out session, Darrel's scroll vibrated.
"I need to take this." Darrel said. The message was from Ozpin.
Ozpin: Report to my office.
"Ozpin needs me." Darrel said with a hint of nervousness.
"Okay. I'll keep an eye on your baby sister." Blake said.
Darrel left his dorm and headed for Ozpin's office.
When he entered, he saw Ozpin standing at his desk, with a mug of coffee in his hand.
"So, what do you need me to do, sir?" Darrel inquired.
"Mr. Maximus, its time for your first mission. I'm assigning you to guard a Schnee Dust Company train as it makes its way through the Forever Fall forest. Unfortunately, you will be going solo on this mission." Ozpin explained.
Darrel looked a little upset.
"However, to make up for this, I'm giving you the option of having an additional weapon of your choice." Ozpin informed him. Darrel perked up at this.
"Okay, what are my options?" Darrel asked.
Prof. Port came in and he was wheeling a cart that had four weapons on it.
Two Darrel recognized: One was an Anti- Tank Rifle and the other was a Heavy Machine Gun.
"What are these two?" Darrel inquired about the other two weapons.
"This is the Brute Shot, a grenade launcher with an enormous bayonet." Port explained the grenade launcher. "And this is the ESD-P206, a shotgun with surprisingly small spread, a drum, and iron sights. Its alternate mode is an ax that is infused with a red dust crystal." Port explained the hybrid gun. Darrel decided to the select the ESD.
"If you your mission is a success, your reward will be the ESD." Ozpin stated.
"I'll be off then, sir." Darrel said. "Good luck." Ozpin said.
Darrel headed for the lockers to grab Ol'Painless. 'I know I got this shiny new gun, but I'm still taking my main weapon just in case.' Darrel thought.
Darrel grabbed his weapon and headed out. Along the way, he ran across his family and Blake.
"Son, where you going?" Darrel's dad asked.
"Well dad, Ozpin assigned me my first mission: guard a Schnee Dust Company at Forever Fall." Darrel explained.
"Well then, we wish you the best of luck. We have to be going. Oh and by the way, you may need to bring your grade in Math a bit." Darrel's mom said and then his family left.
Blake gave him a kiss and wrapped him in a tight hug.
Hey, now! I'm going to be okay, and I'm also coming back in one piece. I promise you." Darrel said in an attempt to reassure his girlfriend that he was going to be fine.
"Just please, be safe." Blake said with concern and worry and a few tears came from her eyes.
Darrel left and was now at the cliff, and down below was water.
"Since the airship probably won't be my fastest means of transportation, so here goes." Darrel said. "Toothless wing." he proclaimed.
Darrel convulsed in pain. His body became smaller. His head became smaller and his jaw formed a long toothless beak. His neck became thin and pencil-like. His arm grew longer. One finger vanished, and one lengthened to be 18 feet long across from one finger too another. A thin skin membrane stretched from his arms to his ankles. His legs became shorter and thinner. One toe vanished, and the rest grew short claws. Emerging from the back of his head, was a long crest that came to a crooked blunt end.
His bill was a bright orange. The majority of his head was dark blue, with reddish purple scales around his eyes. His crest was predominately white, with blue and purple accents on top. The topside of his body was blue, while his underside was pale white. His hands and feet were a pale orange. To top things off, his eyes were orange with black slits.
Darrel was now a 6 feet tall, 40 pound Pteranodon with an 18 foot wingspan. Darrel let out an eagle-like shriek.
Afterwards, he grabbed his bag with his beak and then flew off. People in Vale looked up to see a bizarre flying creature, flying high in the sky.
Darrel arrived at a station where the train would stop for fuel. Darrel promptly changed back. He boarded the train and said train soon started up.
For 15 minutes, he went over the train route he was taking. The whole route was only a total of 10 miles. That was enough time for the White Fang to try something.
Eventually, Darrel heard a thudding sound and there was a banging sound at the door. Darrel loaded up the ESD and pulled out a red Dust crystal he had gotten from his dad when he left for Beacon. He threw it at the door and promptly shot it, causing it to explode and the door followed suite, as well as a few White Fang grunts to fall face first.
However, there was one man who was unfazed by Darrel's maneuver.
That man was... Adam Taurus.
"So you're the one my girlfriend wants revenge on." Adam stated in his usual demonic manner.
Wow! Talk about a cliffhanger!
I was going to have Adam be later in the story, but why not? He's one of my fav villians, besides Cinder who is #1.
As for the weapons, the first two are from Dino Crisis 2, the Brute shot is the one from Red vs Blue (the Meta/Maine's) and the ESD is from Jurassic: the hunted.
Next chapter, Darrel is for the FIGHTS of his life!
Until then, R&R, my friends!
