Ponies gathered around in the middle of the square, gasping in shock and awe as they watched large chariots fly in with something massive strapped to it. Twilight quietly flew down, while the animal care-taker, Fluttershy was next to the massive, metal cage. Ponies backed up as deep breaths were heard from the cage, along with a rumbling growl.

It finally set down, a massive form in it. It had arrows littering it's side, along with small scars. On it's back was a coat of feathers, as was the same with it's arms. Massive, bone crushing jaws were seen, it's nostrils flared as it snored.

"Sweet dreams, Rex." Fluttershy whispered, causing the massive creature to shift, a deep rumble erupting from it's throat.

Guards left and right surrounded the massive cage, giving it nervous glances. Powerful chains surrounded it's neck and body, it shifting a little every few minutes kept their guards up.

"Make sure that the creature is properly taken care of. We don't want a repeat of what happened last time." Captain Fair said, making some guards nod, before the doors of the crystal like castle open, chittering and shrieks erupting from a cage Discord was pulling.

Discord himself was floating along before a call for help erupted from the cage, making him sigh, then say to Twilight, "These things are really noisy."

The raptor pack in general hissed and screeched at Discord, biting and slamming against the bars. The biggest one stared at Spike, who was petting Rex, giving a soft hiss. As if they heard her, they stopped and settled down for the moment as the leader examined everyone around her. Her large, yellow eyes looked at everyone, giving soft, chuttering sounds.

Twilight, in return, studied the animals, while Long Scope was behind her, gently starting to draw the trio of raptors. "Long snouts with binocular vision, long arms for grabbing and holding. Large fourth toe, likely for climbing or slashing." Twilight quietly said, Long Scope taking notes behind her, humming quietly.

The Big One hissed at Twilight, inspecting her. Loud snorts were heard as it looked at her, before it released a loud snarl, biting against the metal cage. Twilight jumped back, before some guards surrounded the raptors, making them hiss and snarl loudly. One looked over to the Rex, before giving a terrified hiss.

"Not friendly."

Rex himself was still asleep, his eyes closed. However, he heard the shrieking and loud, barking calls they gave out, making him move. The large, three foot thick metal bars and many chains kept him in place, but the ponies stiffened as they heard him growling. He suggenly opened his jaws, letting out bellow of exclamation, shutting everything up.

Once he was done, the raptors were at the far side of their large cage, staying away from the obviously bigger and better predator before them. Once it was quiet, Twilight coughed into her hoof, making Spike look at her. She quietly grabbed a quill and a parchment out, making Spike nod, grabbing it from her magic grip.

"Let Princess Celestia know we have Rex." Twilight said, seeing the large theropod calm down.

Celestia sighed, rubbing her temples with her hooves. She absolutely hated day-court. She stopped listening once Blueblood joined in the banter, and felt her gaze draw to the open window.

Luna, who gave a quiet yawn, was actually listening, though, only enough to catch bits and pieces. She then nudged her sister, who gave her a strange look. She turned her head, only to see some smoke fly in, before seeing it stop in front of her. It suddenly turning into a scroll. As she gave a soft smile, before nodding to Luna, who gave a smile back, then Calestia cleared her throat, catching everyone's attention.

"I am sorry, everypony. We will have to schedule this another time. I have a matter of most importance." Whenever Twilight mailed her, it was extremely important. Perhaps they had some luck?

She read over the paper, before nodding to herself, walking out of the large doors. She turned to her guard and said, "Alrt my chariot. We are going to have a busy day ahead of us."
