I sat down, feeling tired. When we arrived back where Terry was, I noticed the G-Rex was gone, and Little Tina has a mom now, the cloned Tina. Of course, when we got home, Twilight wanted to know why a dead dinosaur was walking around.

"Why is Tina still alive?" Twilight asked once I got in her house, the Library.

"It's complicated." I said, rubbing my head, trying to get the pounding out of my head.

"Something wrong?" Twilight asked, but then a high pitched squeal cut her off.

GOD DAMMIT! MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP! IT'S SCRAMBLING MY BRAIN! MAKE IT STOP! AHHHHHH!

When the squeal stopped, I looked at Twilight, who was looking at me with confusion, wondering what was causing me pain. I got up, and growled again.

"Dammit!" I cursed, looking around. I got up, grabbing my pounding head, and heard a scream outside. I then heard a roar that sounded like it was from a show I watched.

I got outside, and watched in horror as I saw a family of ponies trapped by a strange creature. It was snarling, stalking towards them.

I quickly started pounding on the door, gaining it's attention. No, it can't be. What I saw would make me roar in surprise.

There, I saw a animal that looked like a bat, but with no eyes, and no wings. It had a ear in front of it's head instead of the side, and snarled.

It was a Future Predator. It snarled once it saw me, and I roared back. It 'looked' around, even though it had no eyes, and ran away, faster than I could track.

I roared at, trying to chase, but I heard more screaming, and turned around to see another future predator charging at the family. I turned around, but was too slow.

I watched as it got closer and closer, and pounced. It was a few feet, when a pair of jaws gripped it, and killed it instantly.

I looked up to see the cloned Tina standing there with the future mutated bat in her jaws, shaking her head to crush more of it's bones.

I saw her smile at me, then walk away with the future predator in her mouth. When she got out of view, I went up to Twilight.

"Get your friends, we have a serious problem on our hands." I said, then watched as she teleported away.

I looked at the family, which walked back to their home, terrified. I walked back to the library, and a flash blinded me.

Then I saw Noah, Karlos, Vesa, Cutter, Terry, Tina, little Tina, Garret. Also, Twilight and her friends.

Cleared my throat, gaining their attention. I then began.

"Some force out there, besides Twilight, ripped the boundaries of space and time to shreds. Maybe it's happened before, in which case every single thing we thought we knew about Twilight's universe is wrong."

"Tina just killed a Future Predator. A animal that will evolve millions of years in your or my future, perhaps both universes. If it does, this could mean the end of all life."

"These are highly intelligent creatures. They can scale walls and trees. At their top speed, they can hunt down the fastest animals alive on this and my planet with no problem."

"This is a big problem. Although these creatures have no eyes, they use sonar. Like a bat. These are basically killing machines. Fast, adaptable in every environment, and, even more so, dangerous."

"I want everyone in Ponyville to stay in groups. The only reason that first Future predator gave up because I was there, and the second one died by Tina's jaws."

"Any questions?" I asked, looking around. Seeing no one had any, which surprised me, but, they were standing stock still, looking above me.

I looked up to see a Future Predator, sleeping, just like a bat. Seeing it didn't notice me, Terry roared loudly. It woke up, screeching.

I pounced, digging my claws into it, and it squealed, making me clutch my ears, dig my claws further in. We both fell to the ground. I landed on top of it, crushing some bones. It's screeched, but fell silent.

"These creatures have very light bones, they can jump a tennis courts length with no problem." I said, then got off to show what it looked like. "Males tend to stay near their children, females hunt. This might be a male, trying to wait for a female."

I then wiped the blood off my claws on the corpse.

"Any questions now?" I asked, looking at them.

Seeing claws and hooves raised, I sighed. "Yes Terry?"

"How can we find these creatures? We barely noticed one sleeping, how are we going to find one awake?" Terry asked, making most of the claws and hooves go down.

"Easy. Make as much noise as you can. It'll attract the predator. It uses sonar just like a bat. It uses sound to see things before they're in visual range. That way, it may be a step ahead of us, but, we just found a way to get a step ahead of them. Yes Spike?"

"How exactly are we going to defeat them?"

"Twilight, does your kind have machines to use sonar to track bats? Or we could use dogs to track them. Yes AJ?" I said, looking down at the cow pony.

"Yeah, uh...How're we going to find uh creature who moves faster 'an us?" AJ asked, looking at me.

Suddenly, a crash stopped me, and I looked up to see three future predators staring at me. Two of them snarled, and the other dropped to the floor, looking at the dead one.

It growled, then pounced, but I also pounced, making it go back from my weight and force, killing it. The other two pounced, but Garret's jaws crushed one, and his tail hit the other, killing both.

"Everyone, find a partner. I'll attract the predators. Meet you in a hour, at the Everfree forest." I said, noticing more predators climbing in.

Garret roared, and went out, making a hole in the wall. Terry, Tina, and little Tina followed after him, making half of the predators follow them. The others looked at me, then ran off. I looked up to see the other half of the future predators staring down at me.

I ran out of the door, and closed it, locking it. I sighed in relief, but noticed the giant hole in the side of the wall. I sighed, noticing one of the predators come out, and snarl at me.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

I ran out of there, yelling, "I HATE MY LIFE!"

I ran into the forest, hearing the snarling behind me. I couldn't look back, or it'd slow me down. I heard a roar far away, but paid no attention to it. I felt the tree hits my legs and arms, making cuts across my scales. I still ran, ignoring the pain trying to make itself known in my mind.

All I could hear was my heartbeat, my feet hitting the ground, and the future predators snarling behind me.

I stopped when the snarling was fading, and noticed I was in front of a river. I noticed the sun bleached bones of a animal in front of me, and quickly held back the bile piling up in my throat. I may hunt, but it doesn't look pretty when you see someone else hunt and rip apart prey like paper.

I went up to the river and splashed the water in my face, and held back a shiver when it felt like ice was on my face. I heard snarling behind me, and looked back to see all the future predators that were chasing me looking down at me. All of them dropped to the floor from the trees.

I held back my feeling to cry. If I was going to die, I'll die with honor. I quickly turned to face them, and roared. They snarled back, their teeth shining in the light.

I pulled my killing claws up, ready to kill if I had to. I heard snarling behind me, and looked to see future predators surrounding me at all sides. I roared at them, seeing them go in front of me instead of sneak attacking me. I counted at least fifteen of them.

If I was going to Hell, might as well bring some of these bastards along with me. I growled, seeing them creep towards me, knowing that I was outnumbered.

I heard a roar behind me, but paid no attention to it. Three of them pounced, and everything went in slow motion for me. I saw them inching closer, and I closed my eyes, waiting for the killing blow.

I heard a roar, then opened my eyes to see a Spinosaurus charging at me.

It suddenly bit down, but not at me, but killing the three pouncing future predators in it's jaws. It spit them out, then roared again. They charged, pouncing.

The Spinosaurus crushed one with it's tail, sweeping it away easily. It roared when a predator clawed it's neck. It's claws slashed it off easily.

Another roar drew the predator's, Spinosaur, and me away from the fight.

A large Baryonyx stood there, eyeing the fight. It looked a lot like the Spinosaurus, but with no sail, and it was smaller. Both the spinosaurs eyed each other, but the Baryonyx charged, and bite one of the future predators off, killing it easily.

I roared and pounced on one of the predators, killing it with my weight and force. I slashed at another, killing it with my claws.

I roared again when one tried to pounce, but the Spinosaurus bit onto it before it could kill me, and the Baryonyx bit onto the other half. They broke the creature in half, and ate their halves.

The rest of the future predators ran off, and the Spinosaurus roared into the air, the Baryonyx killing one with it's jaws. Both licked their wounds and walked off.

I heard Terry's roar, and saw him burst through the trees, catching a future predator by surprise.

One ran off, but the last one got caught in Terry's jaws, and he shook his head, dropping the creature. It snarled at him, but Terry bit into it again, destroying most of it's bones.

Terry roared into the air, and saw the two Spinosaurs leave, not wanting to bother the T-Rex.

One of the future predators was crawling away, but I stepped onto it, driving my killing claw into it's spine, killing it. I roared into the air. Noah burst through the tree, two future predators impaled on his horns.

"How many are there?" Noah asked, seeing the predators on the ground.

"Last I counted fifteen, but we killed probably more than that. Meaning, there are even more to battle." I said, shaking some dirt off of me.

Tina came after Terry, a predator in her jaws, and little Tina right next to her. Tina dropped the body to the ground for her daughter. Little Tina chirped in happiness, then started to eat the body.

I felt tired, and looked down to see me covered in claw marks and cuts.

"Dart?" Terry looked at me, confused.

My eyes started to droop, but I stumbled, trying to walk. The last thing I saw before I hit the ground was Terry running towards me.

"Dart? Dart! DART!" I could hear nothing after that.

I could hear someone speaking to me, but I couldn't make out what they were saying. When I opened my eyes, I could see nothing but white, and Luna standing in front of me.

I stood up, but, when I looked at my claws, I saw-HANDS! I looked down to see what I used to look like. I had my brown shirt on with a T-Rex on it from Primeval. My jeans were black, but still comfy. I had no shoes on, and no socks, but, I didn't feel cold, like it was at the museum in California.

I got used to the feeling of my hands, and I looked up to see Luna staring at me like I was crazy.

"Piss off, it's been six months since I had hands with five fingers." I said, getting used to the old feeling. "Now, why are you here?" I asked, looking at her.

She sighed, then looked at me. "You are in a coma right now. You're friends hope for your safety, and the doctors said you might never wake up. I'm here to disprove the never waking up." She explained simply.

I whistled in amazement, then walked to her. "I'm taller than you." I said, staring down at the five foot tall princess. I was about six and a half feet tall.

"Don't you understand you bucking idiot? I'm saving your life!" Luna yelled at me.

"Oh, I understand perfectly." I said, not wanting her to mess with my dreams.

"I also have been sifting through your memories." Luna added, making me pale.

"You didn't sift through all of them, did you?" I asked, not wanting her to mess with my mind.

"No. I left the ones that were behind a wall of protection." Luna said, shivering.

"What kind of protection?" I asked, looking at her. She simply pointed behind me, and I turned around to see Dinosaurs of all shapes and sizes standing there.

Albertosaurus, Tarbosaurus, T-Rex, Spinosaurus, Baryonyx, Saltosaurus, Allosaurus, Dilophosaurus, there was even a Compsagnathus in there. A Therizinosaur looked down at me, then licked my face, making me gag, but smile.

Every dinosaur founded was there, roaring or moving around. I saw a Gargonopsid. So, even before dinosaurs. Dimetrodon was right there, roaring at the Gargonopsid. Mammal like reptiles ran to and fro.

I smiled. This made Jurassic Park and Primeval look like sissies. Hell, I saw V-Rex standing there, roaring at it's ancestor, T-Rex. When a velociraptor saw me, three others ran towards me. When they circled around me, they gave a throaty growl, and ran off.

I looked at Luna. "This is amazing. Every Dinosaur researchers dream is here. This would make a man cry. Then again, I'm not really a man, more of a dinosaur. But, you get my meaning."

I didn't catch Luna's response, but I think I heard a sigh of relief. I looked at Luna. "Something wrong?" I asked, cocking my head to the side.

"Yes. I practically am saving you from death. The whole time we've been talking has been two days in the real world." Luna informed, making me stare at her with a expression that said, 'You've got to be fucking kidding me'.

"When will I wake?" I asked.

"Here, two minutes. There, two days." Luna replied, then a chair appeared from nowhere. "We have to talk about what you said to my sister's student."

"How Space and Time are ripped apart, not only by your student, but probably your world too? Something in this world has caused both my world and yours to make portals to each other, letting loose creatures from my world, but yours too." I said, sitting down in a chair.

Luna grabbed some tea, and I made a coffee, and sipped it. "Luna, your world is in danger. My world's creatures are appearing on yours. Your ponies, dragons, griffons, Hell, even the tiniest bug is in danger from my world. You have to find the cause to what's happening."

"Something has to be done." I said, drinking a bit of my coffee.

"Can we stop it?" Luna asked, worry etched in her voice.

"These portals, anomalies, if you will, are a force of nature. Can't be stopped. Here, let me explain with pictures." I said, suddenly, it showed me the first time there was the anomaly.

"That's me, as you can see right now. The minute I touched the anomaly, it turned me into a dinosaur." I switched it Terry. "Terry, however, is a actual dinosaur. The portal sent him to who knows where and what. Back in my world, these portals would've been impossible. But somehow, these portals appear without ripping the fabric of reality."

Suddenly, parts of what we were talking about were chipping away, the pictures looking like glass and breaking off.

"Seems our time is up." Luna said, looking at me with concern in her eyes.

"No, it has just started. Next time we meet, let it be under better times. You'll know where to find me." I said, then, the world faded again.

I opened my eyes to see Twilight standing there, looking away. I got up, wincing, but not making a sound.

Spike noticed me, but I made a 'shush' motion with my hands, making him quiet.

"I'm here to kick ass and eat goat. And I just finished my goat." I said, smiling, until a crushing force hit me, to show Spike hugging me.
