I'm back! And reason why no chapter last week is because I was helping my uncle move and it was SO HARD!
But anyway, two things good about this one: Future creatures and NEW prehistoric animal that Darrel turns into!
(Play Primeval Theme)
There's a black background and shards of glass floating in a sphere formation.
Shards come together to form two pairs: one an image of Ruby Rose, then of a screeching Velociraptor.
Two more pairs form an image of Weiss Schnee then of a shrieking Troodon.
Two more pairs form an image of Blake Belladonna then of a Dinofelis leaping towards the screen.
Two more pairs form an image of Yang Xiao Long then of an Ankylosaurus flailing its club.
Two more pairs form an image of Darrel Maximus and a T-rex roaring, jaws glowing light blue.
Two more pairs form an image of Isaac Von Reinhbach and Woolly Mammoth trumpeting in a blizzard.
Two more form an image of Matthew Lewis then of an Utahraptor leaping down, the sun behind it.
The last pair forms an image of Dalton Goldenrod then of a Megalania running towards the screen, hissing.
All the shards come together to form RWBY with Primeval below it before all the shards scatter.

Noon
Beacon Gym
Weiss & Isaac were sparring and Weiss was having somewhat a hard time hitting him what with his teleporting semblance. She was able to summon four Knights- albeit they were only 4 feet tall- and they latched onto him, slowing the Reinhbach down and allowing Weiss to land the finishing blow by going for a fake stab at his throat.
"I win."The heiress said with a slight smirk. "Yeah and you're getting better at summoning."Isaac commented. "True." He kissed her and she kissed back. They smiled.
Darrel came by. "Hey Ice Shark, I need the both of you!" He said loudly. Weiss raised an eyebrow.
"Ice Shark?"She inquired. He came over. "Its your ship-name; Me and Blake are Primal Ninjas, Matt & Ruby are Innocent Heroes, Yang & Dalton are Sunstar Dragon, and You & Isaac are Ice Shark."Darrel explained the ship names of each listed couple.
"Anyway, I called you guys because there's an anomaly that leads to future Atlas, according to team CEELI. Oh and only ones going are you two, me & Cass."He explained.
They all went to their dorms and put on thick layers of cold weather clothes, per Cass's request.
Later, Cass led them to where the anomaly was: the Forever Fall Forest. They entered the anomaly and were greeted by a vast cold wasteland.
"This is Atlas, 5 million years in the future. The ice sheets have now covered over 50% of Atlas and this makes this tundra a hard place for animals to live in."Cass explained.
They trekked until they came across a patch of tundra shrubs & sedges. And they weren't alone.
Around them, was a strange herd of animals that looked like giant hairy rodents about 3 feet tall. Their fur is a dark brown.
"These are Shagrats, a type of giant rodent descended from marmots. They live in herds and travel nearly all the time searching for food. And like musk oxen, they form circles to protect their young."Cass informed them.
Darrel saw that some were using their paws to scrape away snow and a young one was having trouble. Thankfully, his mom showed him how it was done and succeeded.
They then noticed another grazer: they looked like a cross between, bison, longhorn cattle, and musk oxen with a white coat of shaggy fur. "Those are Woolly Bison; descended from Atlas Bison and have thick fur coats and long horns for sweeping away snow as well as for display and defense."Cass explained.
Suddenly, both herds panicked and formed tight circles.
Weiss saw a white blur. "What's that?!"She said, scared. Leaping out from a snow pile, was a creature that looked like a wolverine but bigger, with white fur and most striking of all...saber teeth.
"Snowstalker, saber-toothed descendant of the wolverine; highly territorial."Cass stated.
The mustelid circled both herds, opting mainly for the giant rodents...that is until a young Woolly Bison broke rank and ran away, allowing the carnivore to leap onto its back, topple it over and drive its huge canines into its neck, killing it.
The rest of the herds left the killer as did the young adults. "Nature in action, folks."Darrel said bluntly.
They arrived at the coast where the glaciers ended and most of the rocky coast housed several odd creatures: they looked like large seals in bird's clothing, specifically those of a gannet bird.
"What the?"Isaac said, perplexed of seeing such an odd bird. "Gannetwhales, descended from gannets and they live like seals."Cass stated. Weiss wanted to get closer but she saw their beaks and they could inflict injury. However, they are in the domain of a very dangerous animal.
A loud roar- not unlike that of an Ursa Major- ripped through the air and all the birds flopped to the water as a massive beast charged from down the coast.
It looked like a Short-Faced Bear but its coat was that of a polar bear. "Spirit Crusher; descended from Brown Bears and hunts Gannetwhales as well as scavenging."Cass stated.
The massive bear seized a Gannetwhale in its paws and then killed it with one bite to the back of the head. It noticed the humans and roared and then charged, intent on driving them out of its territory with lethal means.
"Hollow Tooth."Darrel proclaimed.
He convulsed in pain. He grew bigger and he switched to a quadruped stance. His head grew longer and larger. He had two thin blade-like horns with the front being larger than the back. Teeth are now suited for grazing. Ears changed to standard for hoofed animals as did the tail he grew. Shoulders gained a large hump. Arms and legs became column-like and had 3 toes.
He was covered in mottled brown fur and his skin is a dark grey. Eyes are orange.
Darrel is now a 10 feet long, 6 feet tall, 3ton Coelodonta aka Woolly Rhinoceros.
He let out a bellow and charged at the bear, horns down. He lifted his head up and nearly impaled the bear but instead tossed him into the water. He snorted before he changed back.
"So, with that done, let's head home."
Two things: 1. The Atlas Bison is the Remnant version of the European Bison.
I know that I changed the way a certain saber-toothed mustelid attacked but with me including bison in an environment with a saber-toothed predator, I had to make the Snowstalker more like a saber-tooth.
