Prelude: Beginning Chapter That Will Explain Stuff

Earth, North America, 76 MYA (Million Years Ago), Mid-Afternoon...

A male Teratophoneus and his family were stalking a herd of corythosaurus. the plan communicated by their unique tongue was simple: scare, trap, scatter, and cull the herd. One of the four young stayed with his father, helping chase the corythosaurs. There would have been more children if it weren't for those pesky mammals... of the eleven eggs lain six years ago, only these four made it.

They were similar to the tyrannosaurus in many ways: two claws, typical of the tyrannosaur, and a build a lot like the T. Rex, but they were smaller, and had less teeth then the T. Rex, but they still had an impressive bite, and the young had a bacteria-filled mouth similar to the Tyrannosaurus, which they used as venom.

As the mate and her young went to ambush their prey, the father and his oldest son stayed hidden in the trees, almost invisible. They moved slowly, staying low to the ground, in a fashion that those living now would compare to the lion. When they got close enough, they pounced and began their chase.

When they saw the Teratophoneus, the Corythosaurs panicked and ran into the narrow valley, springing the trap: the other four jumped out, scattering the herd. All six noticed an old male, injured and infected; easy prey when alone.

The young ran straight into the herd, ensuring they drove the herd farther away from their prey. They then isolated the corythosaur, trapping it between four eager, hungry mouths. The doomed dinosaur saw its fate, and gave up trying to return to the herd, which had already run from the approaching parents. In the end, dinner was served for one family that night.

Dusk, that same day...

When the family returned to their nest, it was time to retire for the night. they lived in a cave within the valley walls; hidden, yet easily accessible due to the outcropping in front of the cave. They often chased away pterosaurs who wanted to use it as a roost, though occasionally they enjoyed a drumstick dinner. Though they often huddled to rest, it was more for the company of their family than warmth. It never got really cold where they lived, especially during the warm, wet season mid-year. they all went to sleep soon after.

But during the night, something new happened: they had dreams.

Present day ,Winter, Equus, near Midnight, somewhere by the Everfree Forest...

The Cutie Mark Crusaders were wandering about near the edge of the forest, and as always, were searching to find something that might get them their cutie marks.

"Why are we even out here?", a nervous Apple Bloom said, "This is almost as scary as when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbour."

A disgusted Nyx replied, "Oh, please. that was 6 years ago! You have to be over that by now."

"I am over it! Those Japs got what they deserved when we nuked them!" a confident Scootaloo said.

"Please don't say that..." Sweetie Belle asked, preferring not to think about violence.

"Well, none of that matters now. That was six years ago, this is now." Nyx said, "and we're out here because this is the last place we would look for our cutie marks, so this is where we would most likely find it."

“...but Nyx, we always end up in the Everfree Forest eventually.”, countered Apple Bloom

“And usually covered in tree sap...”, Sweetie belle Muttered

“None of that matters!”, yelled Nyx, “We're near the forest, not in-”

The rest of her sentence was cut off by a loud crash nearby. Ever adventurous, they shrugged it off and went to investigate. When they found the source, they noticed a cave, odd noises coming from inside. Not-a-chicken scootaloo looked in first, and saw six odd creatures sleeping within, similar to dragons, but looking more like spike than garble. They also noticed four bizarre cylinders around the creatures, looking almost like a cage with no walls. Worry overtaking their curiosity, they discussed what to do, with sweetie belle suggesting they leave and the rest agreeing.

“But what do we tell the others?”, asked Sweetie.

“I vote we tell 'em about these… things.”, said Apple Bloom.

Nyx decided to act in charge over the confusion. "Tell nopony about this when we get back, got it?"

“Yes Nyx.”, agreed Sweetie and Apple Bloom

“When did she become our mom…?”, complained Scootaloo.

Had they stayed longer, however, they would have noticed the canisters opening; a thick green gas seeping out of the openings. As the dinosaurs slept, they breathed, and as they breathed, the gas changed their bodies and their minds. Their brains grew, and with this growth came thoughts and ideas; not to be known until they woke up and began their new lives.

These containers also had something else: writing. Though the ponies may not be able to read it, others could, and to them it would read...

"ALZ-11D"

Author's Note

Authors Notes:

The dinosaurs began having dreams 30-60 minutes after they breathed in the ALZ-11D. Just put this in here in case you wanted to know. Also, Nyx and the rest of the CMC are 16 at the time. Nyx is the daughter of Twilight, and her father is currently unknown. The two world wars are fully existent in this world, and more of that is in my (currently nonexisting) story, “The Attack On Pearl Harbor”.

If there are any spelling/grammar/syntax/etc. mistakes, I would appreciate a PM also being sent to me, as I am a fledgeling editor and would like to know about any mistakes I've made/missed.

Chapter I: Dawn Of The Planet Of The Dinosaurs

Dawn, The Dinosaur Family's Cave...

When the Teratophoneus family awoke, they realized something. They were in a cave, it was freezing. and they could comprehend what was around them. They got up, one after the other.

"" The Alpha said to his family, who only seemed further confused ""

He then noticed what his family did. Rather than grunting or roaring, he was forming words, and he understood them. They then began to panic as it sunk in, as they didn't know what to think about their new knowledge, and at the fact that they could think at all. With there newfound sapience, they could do more than any previous dinosaur could, and so decided to also name themselves for simplicity's sake. The eldest son, Hiro, soon noticed a mammalian stench in the air, and he reeled back from the awful smell.

"", he said to his father, Fuso, although they could all hear him. They were terrified of bats

"" but his mate wasn't having it.

"" Kongo said, worrying.

"" he said, looking out of the cave."< It is too early for us to get going. We'll wait until the sun gets high enough, though the bats are still...>"

The youngest male, Scout spoke up, ""

They started hearing hoof-steps. They had never heard hooves this small-sounding before, so they didn't know who or what they belonged to. Something small, clearly, but perhaps something dangerous. They retreated deeper into the cave, ignoring the smell, feeling that the danger was far worse. The father stayed at the back of the retreating group. Then they heard the squeaking.

The youngest female, Mogami, spoke up, ""

They did not panic, as they did not want to risk the potential predator finding them, until the oldest female looked up. She saw an entire colony of bats on the ceiling.

"" Bright Eyes said. Everyone looked at her and she pointed up with her claw.

"" Fuso was cut off by the sound of his youngest son's panicked roar filling the cave.

"" unfortunately, that woke the bats, who began to swarm, searching for the exit. The dinosaurs, also trying to flee, ran with them... right into the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

Dawn, about 300 meters away from the cave...

"Sweetie Belle, what in Celestia's name are you doing out here?" she said to herself, coming out just before dawn to see the sleeping... creatures; she found the young ones quite cute when they slept.

An orange blur jumped onto her, and she held her hooves up to shield her face.

"Please! Please, don't kill me! I’m still young!"

"Shut up, Sweetie Belle. I'm not going to kill you. Though I sure as hell feel like it!" an angered scootaloo said. "What are you doing out here?!"

"Well, I, um..."

"Hurry up, Scootaloo, we're running out of time!" Nyx came out of the bushes with Apple Bloom.

"New question, what are you all doing here?!" sweetie bell, said alarmed at the sight of her friends.

"well, we're here to find ya'." Apple Bloom said.

Then they heard a loud roar from within the cave, the swarm of bats flying out , and the creatures, running out with them. All they could see, however, were six pairs of legs coming right at them.

The foals and the dinosaurs looked each other in the eyes, and the CMC screamed first. The dinosaurs were yelling too, but to the ponies, it came out as a roar. Both parties ran off into the vegetation, hoping to hide from the other. The dinosaurs were easily lost in the forest because of their camouflage. The ponies... not so much. Their multi-colored fur did the opposite of hide them. Mogami came out slowly to see them.

"" Fuso yelled at her, ""

"" she replied.

She walked over, much to the dismay of her family, and attempted to speak to them.

Little known fact about pegasi: their wings aren't simply magical; they are slightly avian in origin, just like gryphons, and so the resident pegasus was able to understand the dinosaurs slightly. Not that she knew that, of course.

"" mogami said.

Scootaloo couldn't believe her ears, there was a creature of unknown origin trying to comfort her, and she could actually understand it! she turned around to reply.

""

"" she asked

"" Scootaloo said.

""

"" scootaloo said.

And with that, the pony and dinosaur turned their separate ways. Scootaloo turned around and noticed her friends gaping at her.

"What?" She asked.

"Oh, nothing." Sweetie Belle said, "Except for the fact that YOU JUST STARTED ROARING AND GROWLING FOR NO REASON!!!"

"Hey, calm down there, Sweetie." nyx said. "What happened just now?"

"Well, it said that it needed a place to stay. I was going to bring Fluttershy out here to let her see them, but I don't know what she will do afterward." Scootaloo said.

"well, why don' they go back to their cave then?" Apple Bloom asked.

"I think it has something to do with the bats, I'm not sure. It told me why the bat swarm happened, but not why they ran out screaming.." Scootaloo replied.

"Right then, off to Fluttershy's then!" Nyx said, and they went off to town before anyone got up to find Fluttershy

"" Fuso asked.

"" she said.

"<No! Not happening! They might want to do something to us! Kill us, take you, something like that!" he said.

Kongo responded desperately, ""

Everyone in the family began to argue, and in the end the father said, ""

The family all agreed and let him think, then he got up and said, ""

Night, Ponyville....

Mogami weaved between the buildings, doing her best not to be seen or heard. She sniffed the air to find who she was looking for, and found her next to a building in a box.

"" she said to Scootaloo.

"" she replied.

""

""

""

""

And with that, the dinosaur ran off into the night to return to her family.

Mid-morning, near a new cave....

Mogami led Scootaloo, who in turn, led Fluttershy to where the new cave was. They didn't want to return to the old one, due to the bats. When fluttershy arrived, Hiro was still asleep while Scout and Bright-eyes were play-fighting with each other. Mogami found a bone to gnaw on to pretend she had been there the whole time.

When saw the creatures, the only thing she could say was, "oh, my." She caught their attention immediately.

Bright-eyes and Scout quit playing mid-bite. Hiro sprung up into a prowling position, assessing the threat. He then got up slowly, growling all the while, showing off his numerous sharp, venomous teeth. he went to lunge, but his youngest sister stopped him before he could get a bite in.

"" she said to him as he was getting up.

"" he said snarling.

"" she responded

Scout spoke up, ""

he turned around, growling, ""

""

"."

Then speaking to Fluttershy. "" she shook her head in acknowledgment. "" and with that, he went to find a rock in the sun to sleep on.

"" she said to Fluttershy, "" she went back to gnaw on the bone she found, and Fluttershy went to see their behavior. She had made plans to stay away for they day. Not much later, they heard a sound unfamiliar to them, but Fluttershy knew that sound all too well.

The sound of a timberwolf.

Fluttershy went to hide behind mogami, but she did not understand what was going on. To scare off whatever creature was out there, Hiro roared out into the forest, but only got more wolf cries in return.

""

"" Scout said confidently.

"" after saying that, they prepared to defend their cave.

Out from the forest came about seven timberwolves, both snarling at the other group. seeing that neither side was backing down, they waited to see who would attack first. With their new insight, Hiro began to think of a plan. But that was soon rendered useless due to his impatient brother charging straight at them.

""

The timberwolves charged too, but they were meet with equal resistance. Scout rammed the first timberwolf and made it fall into a pile of wood. He bit the one closest to him, shaking it apart. To his surprise, another jumped on his back, biting his neck while trying not to get thrown off.

"" he called out to his brother.

"" he then rammed the timberwolf off of his brother.

"" he said to his brother, who spun around and smashed his enemy's face with his tail. The timberwolf recoiled and growled at the two brothers. It then raised its head and howled for backup. Once reinforcements had arrived, the original seven timberwolves who had been there were now defeated, but not dead. They reformed and joined the additional timberwolves attacking them. The children were now facing a full twenty timberwolves.

"" Scout said to Hiro, ""

"" and with that they ran back towards the cave. Seeing they had no chance of winning, with or without their sisters, they called for their parents. They continued to fall back into the cave as the timberwolves advanced. Then the ground shook, the wolves felt it as well, and began to look around to see what was coming. They saw a large reptilian tail swing between the trees and, out from the trees, walked Fuso. He took two steps and, upon seeing the situation, let out a roar that could be heard all the way in Canterlot.

Author's Note

Just a heads up: the Teratophoneus are the literal first dinosaurs to get to Equus. Therefore nothing important has happened yet. Also, I've made the skin color for Fuso. He is the blue one.. Don't know about the rest yet, still thinking about it. I feel like this chapter just fell apart in the middle section, there. But, it put itself back together with some violence. Yay! Violence!

Chapter II: Battle Of The Everfree

Late morning, near in a clearing near the everfree, the new cave...

Fuso let his enemies recover from the sheer shock of the ear-splitting roar. Once they did, they growled at Fuso. All he could do was chuckle.

"" he growled to the wolves.

Though the words were foreign, the meaning was clear, and the timberwolves prepared to charge. They attacked as one, but Fuso took them out with ease. Cracking two in one bite, smashing three with his tail, making one fly straight into a tree. As he stepped on another to, smashing it to pieces, he didn't notice one crawling towards the cave. Scout bit the lone wolf's head off, and smashed it against a wall. The sound of the destroyed Timberwolf further away grabbed all the attackers' attention, and they stopped attacking Fuso to see what had happened. Seeing new prey, they jumped off of Fuso and ran towards the cave.

"" Scout said as he saw the horde of wooden wolves come straight at him.

"" He and his family ran deeper into the cave, an open area leading off into smaller tunnels. Seeing the possibility, Scout and Blue Eyes set a trap. When the wolves came into sight, they pushed a rock onto them, crushing them and blocking the entrance.

"" Scout said, with the words echoing throughout the cave.
The boulder began to move, and the children prepared to atrtack whatever was moving the rock. To their relief, it was their father.

"" the children all cried out in unison.

"" He ran up to his children to give them a hug. ""

"" Scout said, ""

"< If you say so. Oh, who's this yellow sack of feathers?>" Fuso said, taking notice of Fluttershy.

"< Father, this is who came to see us today. I don't exactly know her name though....>" Mogami said to her father.

"< I-I'm... Fluttershy....>" she said in a sheepish tone.

"" Fuso said to the cowering pony.

Flutershy said, slightly louder, "< I'm Fl-Fluttershy.>"

"< Ah, the stuttering type. Well, I suppose I'll get used to it,>" Fuso said.

They then proceeded to leave the cave, and when they got out, Kongo was just coming back, and she had the duty of bringing back their kill. While they were digging in, they heard something. As they listened, it got louder. They heard howls, moving branches, and rustling leaves, and much to their chagrin, the sounds were getting louder. They all looked to the sounds.

"" Scout said.

Out from the forest came a small army of Timberwolves and their alpha. They all had the same deadly glint in their eyes as they hungrily stared down the dinosaur. The entire family stood up to face the challenge, with Fuso locking eyes with the alpha wolf. Fluttershy suddenly jumped between the groups.

"Wait! Can't we talk this out?!" She said to the timberwolves.

"" Fuso growled to the yellow Pegasus.

She then 'reinterpreted' the wording for the Timberwolves. "Um, excuse me, mister alpha Timberwolf?"
The alpha looked at her, and gestured her to speak.

"Um, if it's not an issue, this the home of these confused creatures. So, would you kindly please leave?" she said as nicely as possible to the wooden creatures.

As if confirming that he didn't like what he was hearing, he growled at her, snapping toward her legs. She cowered behind Mogami and the Timberwolves advanced on the dinosaurs. Letting out a battle-roar, Fuso charged at the alpha. Seeing this as a symbol, the rest of the dinosaurs attacked.

With his family fighting the others, Fuso could focus on his enemy. The Timberwolf slashed at him, missing by a hair. Fuso smashed the timberwolf's face with his tail, sending him recoiling. Once he recovered, the alpha jumped onto Fuso's back. Trying to get him off of his back, he smashed into several trees, but to no avail.

"" Fuso yelled out.

"" Scout said. Using his mother’s help, he climbed her back and jumped onto Fuso's, ramming the alpha off of his back. Scout shook his head and went back to fighting. He found a large tree limb and decided to hit things with it. "" he said before bashing the head of a Timberwolf in.

Fuso snarled at his enemy, he snarled back. The alpha called for reinforcements and three other Timberwolves charged Fuso but failed, one getting a tail to the face, another crushed by his foot, and the third, while successful at first, was bitten off, crushed by Fuso's jaws, and hurled at the alpha. Fuso grabbed the disoriented alpha’s neck, and began to crush it. He heard a satisfying "CRACK!" and dropped the alpha. He let out a victory roar, but the Timberwolves wouldn't stop fighting. He joined his family and proceeded to destroy the last of the timberwolves.
But what they didn't see was one wolf crawl behind them, prepared to kill the pony he found cowering there. He growled at Fluttershy, and prepared to pounce.

"No! No! Stop! Please, no! HELP ME!!!!!" Fluttershy cried out, catching the attention of Mogami, who turned around and crushed the neck of the Timberwolf she had in her mouth.

"" Mogami yelled out, she ran to the cave.

The Timberwolf was about to pounce, but was stopped by a mouth full of teeth hitting him centre mass. Mogami grabbed onto his head, and began to squeeze. She crushed the wolf's head into a million splinters.

Mogami walked over to Fluttershy. ""

"" she said, grateful as she could be.

""

The rest of the Timberwolves ran off into the forest, knowing they were beat. Fuso roared at the few retreating Timberwolves, telling them never to return. They all walked to their cave, but not before they were stopped by a whistling sound. They looked up, and saw a cyan blur diving straight towards Mogami. Fuso shoved his daughter out of the way, and barely dodged the blur himself. The family looked at the dust cloud, waiting for it to settle. When it did, they saw what looked like Fluttershy, but had a rainbow tail and head-fur. And her body fur was cyan.

"Alright, nopony move, and nopony gets hurt! Understand that?!" Ranbow Dash said to the creatures.

"" Fuso said in response to the aggressive pony.

"Don't you dare snarl at me, mister!" Rainbow said, getting up in Fuso's face.

He turned his head to his family, ""

Mogami started moving towards Fluttershy to try to get her from whoever this was.

"Hey! No!" Rainbow Dash was about to kick Mogami when she was stopped by Fuso's tail sending her flying into the trees.

"" Fluttershy said to Fuso.

"" He was cut short as the breath was knocked out of him.

He recoiled and fell over upon impact with a tree. He looked over to figure out what happened. Rainbow Dash had kicked him in the side.

"Rainbow Dash! No!" Fluttershy yelled at her friend.

"They were trying to kill yo-" She was then knocked out of the air and trapped by Fuso's toes.

"Rainbow!" The rest of their friends appeared, having heard the scuffle. Scout and Hiro blocked them from helping Rainbow Dash up.
She struggled to catch her breath while trying to get out from under his foot, to no avail. "Take your.. stinking foot...off of me, you stupid dino..saur!"

"NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

Fuso saw the shock of him just speaking English sink into their eyes, before Rainbow Dash blacked out from the fight and ensuing shock.

Halloween 2015: Goosebumps (No relation to the story)

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.
