My Little Raptor

Dart looked up, seeing the darkness penetrate its claws into his mind, making him feel puny. He shook his mind, trying to ignore those deep, dark thoughts. He had to keep him under chains for now.

Dart entered a bigger room, noticing the claw marks and blood stains in the room. Decayed bodies of Dinosaurs and humans alike littered the floor, Dart silently giving respect. The Microraptor from earlier stood in front of the body of a Novaraptor, giving it a nod of respect.

The Microraptor started to walk forward, Dart silently following behind. In the corner, there was a desk, a old phone and computer on it. Dart walked towards it, before stepping into a puddle of-thankfully-water. He looked in, gasping in shock, seeing his orange eyes stare back at him.

His feathers had receded to only show on the back of his head and the top of his neck. He looked down at his arms to see feathers on his elbows, wondering why he changed again so dramatically. He curled his jaws back, giving a growl at himself, before he looked up, giving a curious look at the old computer.

He tapped the power button, seeing the old screen start to boot up. It's blue screen illuminated the room, Dart giving a smile, not noticing the body underneath the desk he was in front of.

He noticed some dried blood on the screen, but ignored it, before the fan next to him turned on, the musk of the building and rotting corpses away from him.

The Microraptor disappeared, before Dart could notice, the computer made a loud noise, making him cringe. The sound awoke some residents, as well as alerted quite a few others. Dart looked up from his screen to see the Microraptor sniffing the air.

It gave an alerted chirp, running into the darkness, not noticed by Dart. He started to use the mouse, seeing the screen show an insignia he didn't recognize. He start clicked on a folder, seeing pictures being brought up.

Pictures of Dart on a lab table sprung up, making him snarl silently. He started to look through the pictures, some making him cringe, others making him watch in interest. He felt a draft, giving a shiver, before searching through documents.

'Documents, yes. Password? Damn, now let me think...' Dart thought to himself, before typing in "Password". Seeing the document, he gave a snort, unimpressed.

He started to search through them, a bored look in his eyes, before his eyes spotted something; a video. He clicked it, wanting to see what happened.

_____________________________

Dart and the four raptors stood there. Their eyes were all different colors, forest green, ice blue, cyan, orange, and yellow. They all were trained on Bryce, glaring at him silently. Dart gave a throaty growl, seeing his smirking face.

"Okay girls..." Bryce cast a glance at Dart. "...and boys. This will be an test from your T.R.A.D, to see how handle operation in the field."

The Velociraptors snarled their level of approval, one going as far as slamming its body against the cage, growling at him. He jumped a little, before smiling nervously. A device appeared in his hands, before he pressed the top of it, making the raptors freeze.

He gave a laugh that made Dart roar at him, though his body would not react, staring blankly at Bryce. The cages opened, before Dart and the four females raptors slowly walked out, like cautious birds.

A part of his mind started to react on its own, before Dart was in front of Bryce, looking at him. Bryce put his hand forward, expecting to pet his snout. His body reeled back, fear in the strange part of his mind, before it gave way to caution. Dart, well, his body to be precise, moved its snout forward, Dart wanting to bite the hand held in front of him.

His body licked the hand, then started to nuzzle Bryce's hand, making the man give a disgusting smirk. Dart's mind snarled, yelling cruses and promises of a slow demise, but his body kept nuzzling his hand, before some men walked in, armed with firearms, armor covering their body. There were about ten of them, wearing black armor, gas masks attached to their helmets.

"You wanted to see us, sir?" One asked, his voice projected through his helmet.

"Yes. My pets would like to be fed. Would you care to help them?" Bryce stated, making one of them grab for a knife. Bryce gave a short whistle, making Dart and the four raptors turn, giving shrill snarls or loud, rumbling growls.

The man who grabbed his knife was instantly taken down by one of the females, Bryce walking to the door, going inside, before locking it. The screams of pain filled the air as the man's throat was torn out, blood covering the female's maw. Dart gave a bark like roar, making the men run, before another was tackled by a second female, his screams of pain mixed with the sounds of muffled growls as she bit into him.

One went to the door, banging on it, yelling for help, before a third female took him down, his blood splattering onto the viewing window, her snout raising up to show it was covered in blood.

Dart wanted to throw up, and would've, were it not the fact that he could not control his body. His body launched itself forward with great strides, his clawed feet leaving gouges in the dirt as he and the fourth female raced after the few that fired their weapons at them. One bullet grazed the female, however, she ignored the pain and pounced onto one of the men, sending them both into the tall grass, her tail the only thing visible.

Dart felt a roar tore from his throat as he pounced, the weightlessness made him feel great. However, he dug his killing claws into the man's chest, crushing ribs, then bit into his neck, spraying blood into his mouth. He shook his head, before a few seconds later he let go, blood drenching his maw.

A bark like roar caught his and the three females attention, the fourth on top of a fallen tree. Her snout released a few more bark like roars, making them gather around her, giving snarls and roars of their own. She lowered her snout, sniffing the ground, then ran after the five humans left. The others started to follow, giving bark like roars or shrieks of blood lust as they ran after their prey.

They started to dodge, then weave around trees, almost like they were a needle in a thread. Their roars echoed through the forest as they kept running, the raptors feeling the thrill of the hunt.

One of the men, heard the heavy running pass by, not noticing one of them broke off from the rest. He sighed in relief, before aiming his gun around. Seeing none and hearing none, he lowered his weapon, giving a soft whistle as two more men walked in.

"You two okay?" The first man asked, making the other two nod. A scream of pain met them, all of them aiming their weapons to the noise. "We need to get out of here. Once we do, Bryce will pay."

They started to walk forward, exiting the small area. One of them ran in, clutching his shoulder, blood pouring down his arm, making droplets go on the ground. He pulled out his pistol, before he started to fire it randomly.

BANGBANGBANG! CLICKCLICKCLICK!

He dropped the gun, a bloody hand print on it. He started to lean against a tree, looking over. He saw nothing at first, before looking over a moment later, a green blur tackling him to the ground. He released a cry of pain as it dug its claws into his chest, biting his neck, tearing it open. He fell to the ground, a puddle of blood forming around him.

He started to choke on his own blood, before the female lifted its head, a second one walking up. They started to growl at each other, before they lifted their heads, sniffing the air. They both started to head back, a camera recording all of it, Bryce giving a sickening grin.

Terry, the scientist, walked right next to him, seeing the raptors run through the forest, the collars they wore having cameras on them, recording what they saw. Terry swallowed the bile rising in his throat, seeing the raptor tear apart the man.

"Sir-"

"Yes, Terrence?"

"Should we pull the soldiers back? I think they get the idea that you shouldn't try and make jokes about you." Terry asked, a concerned look in his eyes.

"Actually, let's make this interesting..." Bryce said, before pushing a button to his right, setting up a microphone. "Everyone clear the base, we're conducting a test to find traitors."

"Sir?" Terry was confused, making Bryce smirk.

"Terrence, must I remind you? We can not have rebellion among our ranks. For those who stay die from my raptors. For those who leave, stay in my lab and have a place to work, eat, and sleep. Besides," Bryce concluded, not noticing the terrified look in Terry's eyes. "We have to test out the T.R.A.D."

One of the three men screamed in pain, the toe claws digging into his back, its fore claws slashing across his chest. He fell to the ground, writhing in pain. One of the men hit the Velociraptor off, taking aim. The raptor snarled at him, before jumping back into the foliage, not giving the chance for the soldier to shoot.

He then pulled the man up, getting him in a sitting position. He grabbed the back of his armor, seeing the injured man pull his mask off, blood soaking the right side of his face. He had brown eyes, a shaved head, and would usually have a scar on his right cheek, were it not for the blood covering it.

He started to pull him along, dragging his body. The man pulled out a pistol, cocking it, before hearing the sounds of bushes shaking and excited growls. The third man used his card, trying to open the door. Since this didn't work, he started to punch in his number, a red "DENIED" meeting him. He gave a terrified yelp, hearing the bark like roars of the Velociraptors, that hurried him along, hoping he somehow punched in the wrong number. The door finally slid open, the man aiming his weapon towards the foliage.

The first man started to drag the injured man along, the third man closing the door, giving a sigh of relief. He then started to laugh uncontrollably, his body shaking from the adrenaline bursting through his veins.

"Oh my God...We made it." He said, laughing again, hearing the sounds of angry roars and the door being scratched against. "I can't believe we made it."

However, the sounds of the Raptors stopped, making them cautious, slowly aiming their weapons towards the door. A massive dent appeared on the door, the sound of metal hitting metal meeting their ears. They started to hurry along, before the door started to dent more and more. Before they rounded the corner, the injured man caught sight of an armored claw cutting through the metal, the shrieks of the Velociraptors returning.

The injured man pulled out a pistol as they hurried along. Dart's body turned the corner, covered in armor, giving a bark like roar, two females appearing at his side, both armored as well. They started to walk forward, the injured man firing a round.

BAM!

They ignored the bullet leaving a small dent in their armor. They roared and rushed forward, the helmets blocking their faces.

BAM!

The men kept running wanting to get out, before they became raptor food. The man who didn't drag the injured hit a control pad next to him.

BAM!

Four soldiers appeared at the end of the hallway, before they ran past the three men, firing their weapons. The bullets bounced off of their armor, before Dart's body jumped onto one of them, his metal claws slamming through the man's chest.

BAM!

The three turned a corner, hearing screams and roaring, the sounds of gunfire slowly going quiet. They opened a door, closing it behind them, before something kept slamming against the door. The door hissed as it opened, showing one of the soldiers, looking completely fine.

"Well?"

The soldier fell, making the injured man fire into the darkness, the other man noticing the large gash through the armor on the soldier.

BAM!

The amored Velociraptors started to show, the five raptors roaring at them.

BAM!

CLICK! CLICK! CLICK!

The injured man let his armor fall, the pistol still in his grip, the metal weapon hitting the metal ground, dragging it along. Dart's body looked at the soldiers, his visor glowing in the low light.

"That's right cowards," He started to say, his voice deeper, his red-orange eyes glaring at the three soldiers. "Run."

________________________________

Dart turned away, feeling the ground shake a little. He looked over, before he noticed one of the doors, severely dented and clawed at. He gave a confused look, seeing the door controls on the ground.

He clicked the big red, shiny button on the controller. He pressed it with his killing claw, before a loud arlam blared, making him flinch. The box next to him had a box attached to the wall.

"WARNING! UNIDENTIFIED BREACH IN PADDOCK 9! WARNING! UNIDENTIFIED BREACH IN PADDOCK-"

Dart snarled, before biting the box, slowly tearing it off, stopping the alarms instantly. He then spit it out, a red light of the alarm slowly burning out, shining a object next to him. He looked down, inspecting it, before the cap fell off, the flare slowly sparking to life.

Dart picked it up, before screaming in pain, slowly turning back to his human form. His bones cracked and expanded as he stood more upright, screaming out as his snout shortened to a human jaw. His scales and feathers tore off, leaving flesh ad his claws fell out, his fingers replacing them. His tail went back into his body, supporting his spine as he stood to his full height.

Armor covered his, his minigun on his right hand, the flare in his left. He looked up, feeling the ground shake, he looked back, seeing the water start to ripple.

THUMP!

THUMP!

THUMP!

THUMP!

THUMP!

Dart looked up, his helmet covering his fear and surprise as two shapes started to take form. A rounded snout, tan in color, came out, the head of a massive, 38 foot tall, scar covered female Tyrannosaurus Rex showed itself, half of its body glowing red with the flare. The other form was smaller, but no less terrifying.

It opened its jaws, its lower jaw unlatching, much like a snake's jaw as it released a low pitched shriek towards Dart, making him smile. The female T-Rex released a bellow, echoing out of the facility, making another T-Rex, a familiar one, look at the forest.

"Time to fight fire with fire."
