Dino King Awakening.
With the Speckles Project firmly in his rear-view mirror; our favorite dino gets some well deserved nap time. He proceeds to have the greatest dream a dinosaur could have. Alas, his son Junior has other ideas and is only too happy to share them! What will become of our hero in his happiest hour? Find out in BATTLE CHICKENS! The daftest thing I have ever written - The Author.
What Do Dinosaurs Dream?
The last thing Speckles remembers is returning to his cave. The epic game of catch-the-velociraptor had gone on much longer than anticipated! Exhausted and satisfied that his time with Gareth was finally over; all he wanted was to fall into a restful sleep…
This was no ordinary dream. Speckles appears to be standing over himself, seeing himself fast asleep. Was this an out-of-body experience? He felt normal but somehow he wasn't standing, he was floating. He moves out of the cave into the forest where he and his family spend most of their time.
In the distance he can just about make out the gleaming towers of Humanity Park. A place where humans and dinosaurs live together. A place where reality and fantasy ebb and fade. A mighty city of peace and learning, where time has no meaning, and pain has no place.
Had it existed at all, was this all just the ramblings of a madman? Speckles did not know.
In his ethereal, dreamlike state he moves towards this heaven of love and light. He tours the streets and buildings, seeing many familiar faces. But they were not aware of him. "This could be fun." Speckles thinks to himself. He goes into Humanity Park's tallest tower, the building where so many encounters had taken place.
Speckles arrives on the roof of this mighty tower; everything seemed as normal. With the power of thought alone he begins to fly. His physical body now seemed light as a feather. It is true that many land based dinos had envied their flying counterparts, the pterosaurs of legend.
Now it was his turn. He flies from the rooftop high into the sky. The city begins to shrink as he climbs ever higher, this was an experience like no other, "I can fly, I can really fly." He is almost in tears as he soars ever upwards…
The vast blue sky turns to black as he leaves the Earth's atmosphere, he is now in space. Our planet hangs below him as if on invisible strings. Now he can see the Sun and the Moon.
The Earth, the Sun, the Moon. A trinity of celestial beings so far apart yet almost touching.
And in that moment…Speckles feels as a God might. Suddenly, in front of him appears the asteroid. The doom that may one day destroy all life on Earth. "Never fear, I can stop this." He thinks. But the asteroid does not head for Earth. It is looking straight at him…
This is the moment God and Death meet. The asteroid morphs into a great ethereal being. It cannot be defined but Speckles feels it is pulsing with life and intelligence. It reaches for Speckles, he in turn reaches for it. This is his moment, the representative of all dinosaur life on Earth, reaches for God…
Good Old Reality!
"I'VE GOT IT!" A very loud voice rings throughout his mind. With a massive jolt Speckles wakes up! His son is standing over him really excited!
Speckles looks at his son, his jaw agape in shock. "Junior, what the hell. I was just about to…What the HELL!?"
"Sorry dad, I didn't know you were asleep! I couldn't wait to tell you."
"What is it son, what?" Speckles is trying very hard not to cry.
"BATTLE CHICKENS!" Junior cried.
"WHAT!?" Roared Speckles. "You woke me up for THAT?"
"I know it sounds nuts dad. But now Gareth and his alters have left our existential plain, I've got to tell you…I really have an urge to start writing stories of my own! I've been working on my very first FanFic, and it's called Battle Chickens!"
"In the future, every human is born with their corresponding Battle Chicken. They remain companions for life. They live and die together, and fight at each other's side. I doubt any fan fiction writer has come up with THAT idea yet. It's bound to be really popular, I'm so excited!"
Speckles slumps to the ground. "Son, given humanity's relationship with Chickens, do you really think that will work? You are aware of the phrase finger lickin' good?"
"I know dad, but I'll find a way to work around it! This idea's too good. In my fantasy, humans and chickens shall coexist. Anyway, I'm off to my own writing room to get on with it. See ya pops."
Junior runs out of the cave, leaving Speckles distraught. "Oh great." He thinks. "Now my own son is a bloody fanfiction writer. There goes my and Blue-Eyes' retirement plan!"
Hoping things will pick up were they left off…Speckles tries very hard to go back to sleep…
The Dream Continues…
This is his moment, the representative of all dinosaur life on Earth, reaches for God…
"COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO." The noise is so loud Speckles can feel his eardrums vibrate!
Before him is, is…a giant Golden Chicken! It is almost the size of the Moon.
"Oh, you have got to be KIDDING me!" Speckles shouts. The God of Chickens speaks.
"Well, what did you expect? An old man with a grey beard? I am the God of Humans. For several years I have let the God of Dinosaurs cause havoc upon the world. Now his time is passed and I will return to the Earth to take rightful charge once more. We each take turns at ruling the heavens and planets. Typical Dinosaur God, using FanFiction of all things!"
"Me? I prefer to appear over the Vatican as bright lights and a booming voice. It's a bit old-school but humans seem to relate to it! Now I will return and create a world where Chickens will have the right to decide if they wish to be food or not. And they will be armed to the teeth and ready for battle! Dinosaurs had their turn, Humans had their's. The time of the Chickens is now at hand!"
The God of Humans and Chickens, plummets towards the Earth with the force of an asteroid…
What Becomes Of Us All?
Speckles awakes once more. This time Blue-Eyes is standing over him. "Did you have a good rest?" She asks. "I suppose I did." Speckles replies. "But I tell you what. You, myself and Junior will be staying in the time of Dinosaurs for the foreseeable future. Because the time of man has no idea what's heading its way…"
The End.
Oh, good. Another sodding election! How many is that now? The Author.
One Last Time...
Tired of being taunted throughout time for his second movie being "A Finding Nemo ripoff"; Speckles the Tarbosaurus commissioned Team Dino to write this special sketch. We hope you enjoy it…
Speckles, Blue-Eyes and Junior are sitting on a couch together. In front of them is a table. On that table are three soda pops and a bucket of popcorn! Beyond that is a large TV screen with speakers either side. On that TV screen is playing…Finding Nemo!
Junior speaks to Speckles. "Hey dad, what's the deal with this one? Do they find Nemo or not?"
Speckles replies, "Well, duh. The clue is in the name son!"
Blue-Eyes interjects. "You know what? I bet we could remake this one with ourselves instead of talking fish!"
Speckles and Junior have a ponder. "That's not a bad idea." Spoke Junior. "You mean I get kidnapped instead of Nemo and Speckles has to come and rescue me. And all along the way we learn to be better versions of ourselves?"
"That is a good idea." Responds Speckles. "But to be honest it's been done to death. I mean who wants to see ANOTHER 'kid gets kidnapped and family come to the rescue' movie?"
"I guess you're right." Said Blue-Eyes. "We'll need another reason to Journey to Fire Mountain."
Speckles and Junior try very hard not to laugh. "Look on the bright side." Said Speckles. "If the plot sucks we can always up the visuals as a distraction! Even throw in some 3D!"
"Perhaps." Spoke Junior. "But everyone knows 3D got kinda lame after the first Avatar movie!"
Speckles agrees. "True, cinema tickets went through the bloody roof after that one came out!"
"And that's why we use streaming TV now." States Blue-Eyes. "This IS 2024. Even us dinosaurs work from home now!"
My name is WhoIsTheWhiteDino. This is what I do! Y'all have a great summer! Enjoy!
