This is the 8th installment of my (currently discontinued) Gigaraptor series. This is the only installment in the series that is any good, the other 7 storys suck. If you have the slightest intention of looking at the rest of the series, they can be found at the forum in the link below. Look for storys by GodofPH with Gigaraptor in the title if you want to see more of the Gigaraptor series.

Gigaraptor vs. Dracorial
PROLOGUE
North America, 112 million years ago…
A six-foot predator was walking through a prehistoric United States. The creature was the last of its kind. The creature was a Utahraptor. The Utahraptor was usually a pack hunter but the species was dieing out all over North America and this one in the forest was all that was left. The lone predator was looking for a meal, it hadn’t eaten in days, and it was hungry.
The raptor spotted an infant Iguanodon drinking water from a stream, isolated from the rest of a massive herd. The raptor would of chosen a larger target but the rest of the pack was dead. The raptor hid behind a tree to stake out an attack.
A small mosquito landed upon the raptor to suck some of its blood. The infinitesimal speck of a bug stuck its proboscis into the raptor’s hide. Sweet, sustaining blood flowed through the mosquito. The mosquito lifted itself off of the raptor and flew towards a tree to rest. The mosquito landed upon the tree and rested.
The mosquito tried to move a leg, it was stuck, the mosquito tried to fly, its body was covered in a sap like material. The mosquito was trapped. A wave of sap completely covered the mosquito and it stopped struggling.
The raptor ran at its unsuspecting prey. The raptor jumped and pounced on the infant iguanodon. The infant screamed in pain and shook its body to throw the raptor off. The raptor held on to its shaking prey with its claws but after a few seconds the raptor slid onto the ground. The iguanodon stood on two legs and smacked the fallen raptor with its thumb spike. The spike made a wound in the raptor’s side and broke a rib. The raptor snarled at its prey as it got up and jumped onto the iguanodon infant’s upper torso as the predator mauled the prey with tooth and claw.
The Iguanodon pummeled the attacking raptor with flailing arms. The prey then swung its thumb claw at the raptor again and impaled the raptor in the neck. The raptor screeched in agony as it let go of its prey. The iguanodon then ran away, back to its herd. The raptor lay there on the ground with blood seeping from its neck into the stream.
Defeated, the raptor wearily pulled itself to its feet and walked away from that stream as the iguanodon herd bellowed in triumph.
The raptor later was walking through the forest looking for a meal. A smaller predator ran across the bushes. The raptor took a snap at the creature and bit it in the neck. The raptor raised its head in success with the smaller predator hanging from its mouth. The creature let out a small squeak as the raptor threw it to the ground. The raptor happily munched down on its meal as it heard more squeaks similar to the ones the meal had made.
The raptor looked up and saw nothing. More squeaks, the raptor looked up this time to see a bunch of those smaller predators. They looked like him, but they were smaller and had large eyes. They had large heads for something that small. The creatures were a new species, Troodon. The Troodons looked at the raptor and then attacked.
The little creatures ran at the raptor and the raptor fought back. The raptor smacked one of its attackers with its tail and snapped at another one. The raptor felt the sting of claws in his back as the Troodons pounced on him and mangled the lone raptor. The raptor tried to shake its attackers off but it couldn’t, the Troodons held on tight.
More Troodons came from the bushes as the rest of the pack joined the rest of the Troodons as the slaughter of the raptor continued. The raptor fell to the ground as the Troodons began picking bits of flesh from the collapsed. The raptor was still alive, but unable to move. Pain was flowing through the raptor like a river of wasps. The raptor closed its eyes and opened them one more time, determined to hold on to life.
The raptor’s eyes eased open as it saw one of its attackers looking it in the eye. The Troodon suddenly snapped and the raptor went blind. The Troodon had eaten the raptor’s eye; the other eye couldn’t be used because it was pressed to the ground.
That was the last thing that that raptor would ever see in its life. The Troodons left a bloody corpse, the last of the Utahraptor species. Is it gone forever? Not quite, remember that mosquito? It got trapped in the sap and would later become amber. That certain piece of amber would later come into the possession of Professor Edward Kenton. Edward Kenton would use extract the raptor blood from the mosquito and accidentally create Gigaraptor, Earth’s savior.
Amboy, California, 8 years ago…
The stars shown brightly over the desert on a cool night as the clock in the Jameson household struck midnight. The old grandfather clock’s deep chime echoed throughout the cement house. The lavender paint was peeling off the aged walls. A blooming toddler named Shane Jameson was slumbering serenely when a blue light materialized slowly out of the distance. This didn’t stir Shane, but the light seemed to become larger and larger.
The light stopped growing, and it appeared to take the shape of a disk. Shane started to toss and tumble in his bed, as the house’s backdoor creaked open. Sounds of stomps reverberated all over the cement dwelling. Shane opened his eyes, awakening from his light sleep. The stomping made the boy look around and sweat started dripping from Shane’s forehead. Three dark, tall humanoids stepped into the Shane’s room and looked at the perspiring toddler. One of the beings looked at the other two and nodded its head. The three beings stepped into the light coming from the window and it was revealed that they were scaly and green, like humanoid lizards. One of them grabbed Shane and was able to grasp his entire body with one hand. The being clasped its other hand around Shane’s head to prevent the child from screaming. Shane struggled to break free, but his frail body in no way could overpower this scaly fiend. The being holding Shane and the other two creatures proceeded to exit the house.
The three scaly animals carrying Shane walked out to the source of the blue light, a hovering, disk-like craft. The three beings stood directly beneath the craft while Shane kept trying to escape. A yellow stream of light shot down from the disk and engulfed the beings and Shane. They rose up toward the disk and entered the disk through an entrance at the bottom of the disk.
Shane was taken to what appeared to be a metallic surgery room. He was strapped to a metal bed and more of the scaly beings entered the room. The beings looked to be six feet tall. The reptilians gathered around the bed and stood in a circle and stopped, as if they were waiting for something…
A new scaly being entered the room. This one was different though. It was taller and bulkier. It also had a pair of large wings folded behind its back. On the middle of its forehead, was a metallic medallion that was gleaming from reflected light. The largest being said, “Hello Earth child. Congratulations. You get to be part of our plan to invade society of your planet by infesting young seedlings and turning them half Draco. Our plan is to infiltrate your society by making the younger generations into crosses between humans and us.”
Shane, being only five years old, understood nothing that the largest being said. The largest being hissed at the other beings and they nodded and one pressed a button. A red light was projected at Shane’s head and the toddler was blinded. What happened next, Shane did not see, but he could feel it. Shane felt his insides twisting and his blood reforming. It felt like a ghostly hand was metamorphosing his entire body. Shane wanted to scream, but just as the high-pitched shriek was about to leave his body, he fainted…
Main Story
Las Angeles, California, Present Day…
A black haired kid was sprawled out on a brand new couch. The kid was watching violent Japanese cartoons when a middle aged balding man stepped in the room and yelled, “EK-2, get off your ass and do something! You haven’t done anything all day! You could use some sunlight.” The black haired kid muttered under his breath, “And you could use some time on the treadmill fat ass.” The black haired kid was EK-2. He is not a normal human; he is a clone of the great scientist Edward Kenton. The middle-aged man was Horace Burton, the man who had supervised the cloning of Edward Kenton.
Horace said, “Come on, and just because the Government funded this building doesn’t mean you have to spend the entire day in it. Get outside and do something productive.” EK-2 grumbled as he pulled himself up off of the couch, “Ugghh, I don’t wanna,” EK-2 grunted.
Edward Kenton, in his first incarnation, was a brilliant scientist who had almost cloned a Utah Raptor. The raptor had been cloned enough to be an embryo, but Kenton’s lab was shut down by the military after his assistant stole secret military chemicals. The military disposed of the embryo and later it was exposed to toxic waste. The waste mutated the raptor embryo into a giant beast known as Gigaraptor. Gigaraptor later attacked Seattle but Kenton, through an odd telepathic connection, stopped Gigaraptor and started to use the beast as mankind’s savior. Gigaraptor, through Kenton, had fought twelve monsters over the years. Recently though, Kenton was killed in a car accident and the power to control Gigaraptor was lost. Horace, Kenton’s old colleague before his death, in a desperate attempt; cloned his old comrade in a desperate attempt to preserve the power to control Gigaraptor.
When EK-2 was only an embryo, he started exhibiting psychic powers similar to the one’s Kenton possessed before his death. These psychic powers were used to call Gigaraptor to San Francisco to fight the magnetic terror Poleax. Gigaraptor fought Poleax while a group of scientists prepared a weapon that would destroy Poleax. The plan worked and Poleax is now stranded at the bottom of the ocean thanks to his phenomenal weight.
The California government had gotten word of the scientists tactics and offered them money and resources to form an organization to combat the threat of giant monsters. Usually the government wouldn’t just hand out taxpayer’s money just like that but the government was desperate because the threat of giant monsters was becoming larger and larger as time passed.
Horace was one of the scientists that assisted in defeating Poleax and was in charge of the monster defense team. Using the government funds, a base had been constructed towards the shores of the Pacific Ocean. The base stood seven stories above the sea line and had a basement that went down three stories. The organization was called GMTF or Giant Monster Task Force.
EK-2 pulled himself off of the couch and stumbled towards the elevator. The lad pushed a button on the elevator and waited as the screen above the doors read off a different number as the elevator came closer. 1…2…3…4…5…6 Finally the elevator reached EK-2’s floor and the boy stepped into the elevator. He pushed the button labeled first floor and the doors closed. A small rumble in the confined space EK-2 stood in occurred and the elevator started going down. EK-2 thought to himself, “I should go to the paranormal research center with Ted.” Unknown to EK-2, a major alien attack had happened only a few years before his ‘birth’ and the observatories were always watching for more UFOs headed toward Earth. EK-2 was very interested in the paranormal and studied it with a passion.
As the elevator reached the first floor, EK-2 steeped out and walked towards the door. The little delinquent pushed open the doors and sunlight nearly blinded him because he was inside that dark room all day. As EK-2 stumbled out of the building, he pulled out his Cell Phone to call his friend Ted. Ted was also a paranormal freak.
Ring! “Huh,” Ted muttered as he looked around. Ring! “What’s happening?” Ring! “The Aliens are here to kill me!!!” Ring! “Oh, its just me phone,” Ted said, relieved. Ted stumbled over to the phone as his alien wallpaper on his computer shined through the dark room.
Ted grabbed the phone and grumbled, “Hello?” “Yo, Ted!” EK-2’s voice rang through the receiver. Ted was relieved, he thought it was Government agents attempting to persuade him to stop obsessing about aliens. “What’s up good buddy? You are EK-2 right?” EK-2 thought to himself, “I have the most paranoid friend on the planet.” “Yes I am EK-2,” the clone said. Ted answered, “How many UFOs have I been abducted by in the last year?” EK-2, flustered, said, “You claim to have been abducted by six UFOs.” Ted said, “You probably are EK-2, but you could be an alien imposter.” EK-2 said back in to the receiver, “Good god man, do you want to go to the paranormal research center today?” Ted excitedly replied, “HELL YES!!! I have to report that Gray I saw sulking about the street last night!!!!” EK-2 shook his head and said, “Well…ok then. Meet me at 7th Street.” “Will do,” Tim answered.
An hour later, Tim met his clone friend at the 7th street intersection. The two exchanged hellos and they set off towards the Paranormal Research Center. Gib Fonder ran it. Gib was twice as paranoid as Ted. Gib had a bomb shelter that had enough canned goods and supplies to last five people for thirty years. The paranormal research center was always abuzz with UFO buffs and non-UFO buffs alike.
Today, black cars surrounded the Paranormal Research Center. Tall men in black suits were walking about the place along with hooded figures wearing cloaks. The cloaked figures walked into the building while the figures in the black suits patrolled the outside.
The two boys hid behind a dumpster and watched what was happening. Ted whispered to EK-2, “I knew this was going to happen someday. Gib was way to open with his intentions.” EK-2 yelled, “Shut up, you talk about who’s out to get who to much.” One of the black suited men overheard EK-2 yelling and the figure started walking towards the dumpster. The black suited man walked with a jerky motion, looked almost as jerky as King Kong did with stop motion in his first film.
EK-2 grabbed a nearby pipe just in case. Ted searched the many pockets of his cargo jeans for a camera. He didn’t want to miss this moment. The black suited man hobbled directly over the boys and looked down. EK-2 looked up and saw a man that looked like a corpse. His skin was completely white, with no hair, no eyebrows, eyelashes, or facial hair of any kind. The man was wearing wrap-around sunglasses. CLANK! EK-2 swung the pipe and hit the black suited man in the head. The pipe just made a banging sound upon hitting the black suited man and nothing else.
The black suited man looked towards Ted, who had just pulled out his Polaroid camera and the camera sent a blinding light into the suited man’s face. The suited man, with ease, lifted up the dumpster and tossed it aside. The boys watched in horror and awe at the same time at this amazing feat.
The suited man walked towards Ted. Up close, the boys saw that the suited man was nearly seven feet tall. The suited man stood imposingly over Ted, who was sitting on the ground with pants soiled. The suited man grabbed Ted’s camera and pulled it out of the soiled one’s hands. The suited man opened up the back of the camera and took out the film that contained pictures of the suited men. The suited man put the film inside of his coat and said in an eerie tone, “You boys saw nothing.” EK-2 nodded in fear as the suited man walked back to the rest of the group.
EK-2 got off of the ground and said, ‘Lets go, before something else happens.” Ted shivered in fear as he pulled himself off of the ground. EK-2 pointed at the wet spot in his friend’s pants and said, ‘Ha ha, you peed your pants.” Ted glared at EK-2, then a smirk came across his face. Ted mockingly replied, “So did you.” EK-2 looked down at his shorts and saw a wet mark running down his leg. “Shut up,” EK-2 grumbled.
EK-2 went back to GMTF and didn’t speak about his encounter. When he walked into the living quarters, Horace asked him, “What happened to you?” as the scientist looked at EK-2’s pants. “Well, Ted and me started squirting water at each other from Gatorade bottles,” EK-2 lied. Horace shook his head and said, “You need to stop hanging out with that Ted, he is going nuts.” The clone looked up and nervously asked, “W-Why y-y-you s-s-say that?” Horace got out of the chair he was sitting in and said, “He called here earlier saying that you and him had an encounter with the ‘Men in Black’, Then I asked him if he asked Tommy Lee Jones for an autograph and I hung up when he said no.”
EK-2’s heart skipped a beat at that news. The suited man, though not directly, told them not to tell anyone. The suited man’s tone was stern when he told the boys. EK-2’s left eye began twitching, Horace saw that and said, “Ed used to do that when he was nervous, what’s wrong?” EK-2 said, “Nothing Horace, good night.” EK-2 walked towards his bedroom as Horace yelled, “But its only 6:30!”
EK-2 watched the city from his window. He saw a blue disk flash across the sky and descend in the direction towards Ted’s house. EK-2 shook his head and prayed that the aliens weren’t coming for him.
Ted was too nervous and scared to sleep. He had been on the Internet all night looking for information on the black suited men, known as Men in Black to UFO buffs. Ted found out nothing that he didn’t already know, but Ted still was puzzled about the Men in Black that he and EK-2 saw earlier. Ted had told everyone that he knew about the encounter. Nobody believed him. Ted had just loaded on to a MIB site that supposedly had pictures and accurate histories of the MIB, when he heard a rumbling outside. It was a loud rumbling and a bluish glow came in from Ted’s bedroom window. The glow reflected off of Ted’s ‘Aliens are Real’ posters. Ted walked slowly toward the window, with a pretty good guess of what was happening. Ted guessed that the MIB had come back for him.
Ted looked out the window. The blue light intensified and Ted felt blinded. Ted blinked his eyes once, then again. On the third try, Ted could see again, but he wasn’t in his room anymore. Ted was lying down on a bed with odd creatures circling him. The creatures looked humanoid, but they were scaly and had large, black eyes. They had hands with three long fingers ending in sharp claws, two regular fingers and an opposable thumb. They had small tails hanging down from their legs. They had muscular looking legs that resembled those seen on ostriches, but not nearly as large. Their feet had three toes. Two of the twos were normal, but one curled up like a Velociraptor’s large claw. The creature’s height ranged between five and seven feet.
The creatures were holding medical equipment and were looking at Ted expectantly. Ted wanted to sit up but he was strapped down to this bed. He struggled to break free but it came to no avail. Ted screamed, “Don’t anal probe me!!!” An eight-foot tall figure stepped forth. This one looked like the rest, except he was taller and more muscular. It also had wings and an odd medallion on its forehead. The figure spoke, “The black suited men told you not to tell about your encounter. We can’t have untrustworthy individuals like you running about the planet. Your friend didn’t tell, you shouldn’t of.” Ted was shaking as he said, “B-B-b-but n-n-n-nobody b-b-believed m-m-m-me!” The figure shook its scaly head and said, “It doesn’t matter, and the point is that you disobeyed our orders. For that, we will erase your memory of the incident and modify your conscience so you don’t believe in non-earthly beings.” Ted yelled, “NOOOOOO!!!!!!!” Ted continued to scream. The tallest being was annoyed by this and he said to the smaller beings an indecipherable phrase that just sounded like mumbles and growls. One of the smaller ones nodded and it pressed a button on a panel and a mechanical arm came down from the ceiling and opened up a robotic hand over Ted’s mouth. A beam came down from the hand and Ted’s screams stopped. Ted was unable to open his mouth. The beam pried his jaws shut.
The tallest being was relieved that Ted’s screams stopped. The being spoke in the indecipherable language again to his smaller beings and they pressed another button which turned on a giant machine that was behind the bed that Ted was strapped to. A robotic pair of arms came out of the machine and placed a metal band around Ted’s skull. The metal band had wires that ran back to the machine. The machine was turned on as lights on the headband and the machine itself began lighting up. Intense electro-magnetic waves surged through Ted’s mind, altering memories and beliefs and whatnot. After five minutes of this, Ted was almost unconscious. He was severely disillusioned and uncoordinated. The metal band was removed from his head and there was no hair where the band had been.
The tallest being looked down at Ted’s cargo pants and he reached down and pulled a pack of batteries. The being held the battery pack up to the medallion on its head and the medallion lighted up and the batteries collapsed into battery acid. The being’s muscles grew a small bit after that.
The creatures piloted the ship back to Ted’s dwelling and they placed the disillusioned child back in his own bed and they departed after that.
The next day…
EK-2 hadn’t been able to sleep that last night, he was nervous and scared, scared about what might happen to Ted. EK-2 saw the blue disk fly back to Ted’s house and then leave again. EK-2 was going to go back to Ted’s house as soon as daylight came.
EK-2 pulled his one hundred seventy pound body out of his bed and walked over to his dresser. He had to make a path from his bed to the dresser. The floor was covered with clothes, magazines, and trash. EK-2 carved out a path with his feet. When the child reached his dresser, he opened up the dresser and pulled out a black muscle shirt with a crossbones print. EK-2 pulled out a pair of denim shorts and pulled them up. He put on a Nike ball cap and then he walked towards the door. He pushed open the plastic door and saw Horace sleeping on the couch. EK-2 shook his head and continued towards the elevator.
EK-2 walked past the portrait of the first Edward Kenton. For once, EK-2 stopped to look at the person he was cloned from. The portrait was a painting of Kenton working with test tubes at a laboratory table. He had a smile on his face. EK-2 never really gave much thought to the fact that he was an attempt to preserve a great scientist and the power to control the mighty Gigaraptor. EK-2 smiled at this and he pressed the button on the elevator. The elevator was on this floor so he didn’t have to wait. EK-2 stepped into the elevator and pressed the first floor button.
EK-2 waited for a few minutes for the elevator to reach the bottom floor and then the clone walked out of the elevator. He walked out the door and started towards Ted’s house. As he walked, a pain in his stomach became eminent and increased in pain as he got closer and closer to his friend’s house.
When EK-2 reached his friend’s house, he saw Ted walking out the backdoor with a trash bag. EK-2 walked up to his friend and said, “What are you trashin’?” Ted said, “I’m throwing away all of this alien rubbish. They don’t exist.” EK-2, in a confused tone, said, “But you-we-m-m-met the Men in Black yesterday! You were up all night looking for information on aliens!” Ted answered, “I don’t know what you are talking about, I’ve never believed in aliens.” EK-2 said, “What the hell is wrong with you? And what’s that line of baldness in your hair?” Ted said, “Must go, see you later clone child.” Ted ran into his house and EK-2 said under his breath, “Psycho.”
EK-2 thought to himself, “What the hell happened to Ted? Must have been something with the UFO I saw go to his house last night.” EK-2 was going to go back to the Paranormal Research Center to see if those suited men will still sulking about the place. EK-2 sulked the whole way there.
EK-2 reached the Paranormal Research Center, but it wasn’t the same as yesterday. The black cars were still parked everywhere, but no suited men. EK-2 was going to see if anyone was inside. EK-2 snuck down behind the building to try to go in through the back door.
EK-2 turned the handle on the back door, it wasn’t locked, and Gib usually always locked the back door at all hours. Even once, Ted suggested that he just get rid of the door and make a wall there instead.
The halls were empty, eerily empty. No UFO buffs were arguing with people who didn’t believe in UFOs, no Bigfoot hunters showing off their plaster casts of sasquatch footprints, not even little kids running around looking for real aliens. EK-2 looked down at the floor and reached into his pocket to grab the secret map of the place that Gib had given him. EK-2 accidentally bumped into somebody, “Sorry,” EK-2 apologized. EK-2 looked up and saw Gib standing above him. EK-2 said in relief, “Gib, what in God’s name in going on? Those black cars from Yesterday are still here.” Gib looked at him confusedly and said, “What are talking about little human?” EK-2 just stared at Gib, who had a blank look on his face. Gib started sniffing and said, “Do you have a power source on you?” EK-2 dug into his pocket and said, “I have these batteries for my Gameboy.” Gib snatched the batteries out of EK-2’s hand and said, “Thank you very much. You are a good human. Will give these to master.” Gib excitedly ran in the opposite direction towards the stairs that led to Gib’s private room where he kept all of his most secret conspiracy theories and pictures.
EK-2 thought, “Master? Since when does he have a master?” EK-2 shook his head as he continued down the hall. EK-2 decided to follow Gib up the stairs. EK-2, rather than bursting in the room, pressed his ear up to the door to listen to what was happening. He heard two different voices, one was the voice of Gib he heard earlier, the other voice was louder and deeper.
“Master, I have brought you more of the small earth power sources you need.”
“ Thank you, though I need food to sustain me, I was blessed with the ability to absorb these power sources.”
“You are our leader for a reason.”
“What are you trying to do? Get a promotion to a higher position in this task force? Get out!”
“Yes sir. Wait.”
“What???!!!”
“Why are we talking in English, Master?
“Because, the author not only doesn’t understand our native language, its also impossible to write.”
“That makes sense. I’ll be going then.”
EK-2 ran back to the bottom of the stairs as he heard Gib walking toward the door. EK-2 hid behind a statue of a Gray as Gib walked by and walked into a room. EK-2 walked back up the stairs and slowly opened the door.
As the door revealed the room, EK-2 saw a bloody corpse on the ground that he recognized as Gib. He opened the door further to find a scaly brute eating the corpse. The brute had wings and a small medallion protruding from its forehead. The being had a tail with small spikes protruding from it. The creature looked up from its meal and at EK-2. EK-2’s heart skipped a beat right then. The being snarled at EK-2 with blood dripping from its teeth. The being said in the deep voice he heard earlier, “Who are you earth boy?” EK-2 nervously said, “I-I-I a-a-a-am E-E-E-K-K-K 2.” The being said, “EK-2 hmm? That’s an odd Earth name. But I suspect you’ll taste fine just the same.” EK-2 looked at the creature with fear and said, “W-w-what’s going on? I just saw that person you are eating walk out of this room.” The creature chuckled at this and answered, “You saw a hologram of the person I am eating.” EK-2 was confused, “Eh, what the hell did you say?” The being growled and said, “You see this human I’m eating? Well, you saw the same person. But that person was a hologram of this person. I am eating the REAL thing.” EK-2 nodded and said, “What in God’s name are you?”
The creature got up and wiped the blood from its mouth with its left arm. The creature said, “I am Dracorial, lord of the Dracos.” EK-2 asked, “Who are the Dracos?” Dracorial answered, “About 70 million years ago, a species of dinosaur the you humans called Troodon evolved on this planet. Troodon had an especially large brain for a dinosaur. Troodon was able to evolve in a pattern similar to you primates. Troodon, after 3 million years of evolution, had evolved into a race of highly intelligent creatures that were called Dracos. The Dracos had learned the secret of space travel and we set up a colony on a planet in the Alpha Draconis star system. Two million years later, an asteroid devastated our home planet, Earth, and killed the Dracos residing on Earth that we know of. The Dracos living in Alpha Draconis were the only ones left.”
EK-2 oddly found this perfectly logical. EK-2 said, “Why are you Dracos back on Earth then?” Dracorial said, “On a scout mission to your planet a few thousand years ago, we found that the planet was populated with our favorite food, mammals. We took a special interest in you developing humans, and we’ve watched you over the years. You’ve gotten fatter and fatter, which makes for good meals.”
EK-2 seemed puzzled that Dracorial just openly told him about the Dracos plot for the humans. EK-2 said, “Why did you just tell me your species’ entire plan?” Dracorial answered, “It doesn’t matter, because you won’t live to tell anyone.” Dracorial bared his teeth and started walking towards EK-2 with an evil look in his eyes. “You ought to taste splendid,” the scaled fiend whispered.
Dracorial started walking towards EK-2 with his mouth open and saliva dripping from his mouth. A malevolent scarlet iris pierced the blackness of Dracorial’s eyes. A black, slit-like pupil tore from the blood red of the iris. The monstrous fangs inside Dracorial’s mouth were more than an inch long and looked very sharp.
EK-2 kept backing away the approaching monster until he found himself cornered. His heart pulsed like a machine gun firing into a battlefield. Dracorial reached out with one of his bony, scaly arms and grabbed EK-2 by the waste and lifted him off of the ground.
Dracorial paused and whispered to EK-2, “I will rip your pulsing heart out with my jaws, the heart of you mammals is almost as tasty as your large brains. The faster the heartbeat, the better the taste.”
EK-2 struggled to break free of the reptilian fiend’s grip. The grasp of that skeletal feeling hand squeezed harder and EK-2 felt Dracorial’s finger claws tunnel their way into EK-2’s pelvic area. The blistering pain rushed up through EK-2’s body and the child screamed in pain. Dracorial chortled at this and pulled his struggling prey close to him and opened his jaws as the throbbing heart was beating faster than ever.
A horrid cloud of air came from Dracorial’s mouth and nearly suffocated EK-2 when there was a banging at the door. Dracorial turned his head, but didn’t put EK-2 down. The banging continued until the door fell down. Standing outside the room, was another boy about EK-2’s age. The boy was a bit taller than EK-2 and a little heavier built than our protagonist. He had medium blond hair that was neatly done and combed. The most noticeable feature of this person, who just knocked down the door, was his eyes. The boy’s eyes were a very bright green, brighter than any he had ever seen on a human being. The pupils, were similar to those Dracorial possessed.
The boy looked over at Dracorial and the boy simply said, “Put him down.” Dracorial jerked his head toward the boy. At the sight of him, Dracorial dropped EK-2 and said, “Ah, its you. What do you want?” The blond boy answered, “You need to stop eating any person who wanders into your midst. This certain child you were about to eat is a very important child.” Dracorial’s face turned from a look of surprise, to a look of disgust. Dracorial said, “How so?” The boy answered, “This child, is the key to an awesome power known as Gigaraptor.” Dracorial rolled his vile red eyes and walked over to the boy. Dracorial stood nearly three feet taller than the mysterious boy. Dracorial looked the boy in the eyes and said, “I don’t give a ****.” Dracorial swung one of his massive arms and hit the boy and the impact of the hit threw the boy into the wall.
The boy had to recover from the initial impact of the crash, and then he stood up. The boy’s skin started to become green and scaly. His face became longer and narrower until it resembled a snout. The boy yelled as his back became longer and his arms became larger. A reptilian skin replaced his fingers and his fingernails became long, sharp claws. The boy’s pants ripped open as a tail protruded from the bottom of the boy’s vertebrate. His human teeth grew long and narrow and sharp. The boy grew muscles and they rapidly began growing. All of his clothes were ripped in this growing process and when the boy finally stopped growing, the only thing that had remained the same about the boy was his eyes. His eyes were virtually unchanged from when the boy first walked into the room.
The beast that the boy changed into was now larger than Dracorial. The beast resembled a cross between a crocodile and the incredible hulk. The beast stood up on two legs and roared at Dracorial, who wasn’t the least bit afraid.
The beast grabbed Dracorial and threw him towards the ceiling. The Draco lord crashed through the ceiling and broke it and sunlight poured into the room. The beast ran over to the wall and climbed onto the ceiling and looked out of the hole that Dracorial had made. The beast saw Dracorial flapping broad wings and glaring at the creature. The beats snarled and leaped out of the building and tackled Dracorial out of the air.
The two were falling down as the beast held onto Dracorial with one arm and he viciously smacked Dracorial with his free arm. Dracorial saw they were about to hit the ground; he started clawing viciously at his attacker to throw him off. He deeply slashed the arm that the beast was holding onto him with and the creature screeched in pain. He let go and Dracorial viciously started flapping his wings to get away.
The creature slammed into the ground with titanic force as Dracorial laughed viciously. Dracorial started to fly downward. The beast got up and Dracorial dove at his opponent as the beast just stood there and looked at Dracorial like nothing was going to happen.
Dracorial raised his claws for an attack as his hulking foe looked at Dracorial with a mocking gaze. The reptilian beast raised its left arm as Dracorial tried to slash his foe at the bottom of the dive. The beast slammed its arm down on Dracorial and Dracorial crashed into the ground with titanic force.
Dracorial crawled from where he fell and he looked up at the snarling saurian creature standing over him with drool falling to the ground. Dracorial pulled himself to his feet and said, “You bastard, you beat me today, but don’t go gloating about this. You’ll see me again soon.”
Dracorial flapped his wings wearily and took off into the air in a northwest direction. The beast started a loud roar that eventually faded into human yelling. The creature started shrinking and turning back into a human. The eyes remained the same, as usual. A naked boy stood where the hulking dinosaur like creature stood.
EK-2 had watched the entire fight from the room that Dracorial had tried to eat him in. EK-2 snickered at the naked boy and EK-2 grabbed some clothes from a dresser that hadn’t been smashed. EK-2 ran down the stairs and walked outside where the naked boy was panting heavily. EK-2 tossed him the clothes and said, “Who the hell are you and what the hell just happened?”
With a partly deep voice, the boy answered, “My name is Shane. You just witnessed me fighting in my mutant form.” EK-2 looked at Shane in an odd way and said, “Mutant form?” Shane nodded and said, “Yeah, when I was about five years old, I was abducted by Dracos. They performed some experiments on me and now I am half Draco.” EK-2 scratched his hair and said, “That explains your eyes…” Shane snickered and said, “My eyes? You haven’t seen anything yet.” Shane turned around and showed EK-2 his bare back and said, “Look at that, isn’t it sick?” Shane pointed to some scaly skin on his back as EK-2 gave a look of being grossed out at Shane. EK-2 said, “That’s really ass sick.” Shane nodded in agreement and said, “I bet you wondering about my mutant form also, that happens to me when I get really pissed off.”
EK-2 said, “How’d you know that Dracorial was attacking me?” Shane simply answered, “Draco Mind Link.” EK-2 said, “What the hell is that?” Shane said, “All Dracos have a connection in their minds. We can tell when other Dracos are near and when they are feeling strong emotions, especially a powerful Draco like Dracorial.” EK-2 was puzzled, but it made perfect sense. EK-2 said, “Why’d you save me? I’m just a stranger you don’t even know.” Shane said, “I sensed a psychic power within you, it was different than mine, but I sensed it anyway. What is that psychic power?” EK-2 said, “You’d only laugh.” Shane said, “I probably would, but tell me anyway.” EK-2 said, “Well…Ok…I am the only human on Earth that can control Gigaraptor.” Shane went red and then burst out laughing. Shane said, “Gigaraptor? Good god, your crazy man.”
EK-2 said, “Ha ha, laugh now. But you’ll see that I’m not lying when the appropriate time comes.” Shane said, “Whatever…” Shane pulled on the pants that EK-2 gave him and pulled on the shirt. EK-2 and Shane started walking away from the ruins of the building that Shane and Dracorial ruined.
EK-2 said, “You wanna come over to my place?” Shane said, “Well, sure.” EK-2 nodded and they started walking towards GMTF HQ.
The two reached the tower that looked over the Las Angeles coastline and EK- said, “This is it.” Shane said, “HOLY ****!!! You live here?” EK-2 answered, “Yeah, I do. The guy who created me is in charge of the joint.” Shane shook his head in amazement as the two walked in the sliding doors. Shane looked around in wonder at all the technology and weaponry. Shane muttered, “This would surely help in my plot for world domination!” EK-2 said, “What?” Shane answered, “Nothin”
The two stepped into the elevator and EK-2 pressed the sixth floor button. The elevator doors closed and the elevator started moving up. Shane said, “You got some cool crap in this place you lucky bastard.” EK-2 said, “Federal funding man, we only used half of what we got on weapons, the rest was used on furnishing this place.” Shane said, “God **** it.”
The elevator stopped at the sixth floor and the two walked out and Shane looked at the portrait of Edward Kenton. Shane said, “Who’s that?” EK-2 looked up and said, “That’s Ed Kenton, he’s the guy I’m cloned from.” Shane said, “You’re a clone huh?” EK-2 answered, “Yep, When Poleax attacked San Francisco a few months back, Ed was killed and Gigaraptor was needed to be called to the city.” Shane said, “I see.”
Shane and EK-2 stepped into the Rec. Room of the living quarters of GMTF. Shane looked up at the gargantuan Flat screen plasma television and said, “Holy ****, you got it good here.” EK-2 shook his head and said, “You ain’t seen nothing yet.” EK-2 walked over to the coffee table in front of the couch and grabbed a remote. He pressed a button and the coffee table lowered itself into the floor and a table rose up that was equipped with nearly 10 different game consoles and a DVD/VHS player. EK-2 walked over to the Platinum Edition Gamecube and turned it on. He grabbed two wireless controllers and tossed one to Shane. EK-2 said, “Up for some Super Smash Brothers Melee?” Shane walked over and plopped himself on the couch and said, “You know it!”
The Gamecube logo flashed across the television screen and the opening movie for Melee played. EK-2 selected versus mode. Shane said, “You will fall before King Koopa’s might.” EK-2 replied, “The hell I am,” as he selected Link. EK-2 said, “What stage?” Shane said, “Final Destination.”
Link and Bowser were dropped onto the stage as Link ran at Bowser and did a running slash. Bowser fell back and smacked Link with a powerful straight punch. Link sliced bowser with a nice vertical slash. Bowser grabbed link and started biting him. Link struggled to get free and then Bowser smacked Link with the straight punch again. Link was sent flying off of the platform, hurdling into an infinite abyss. Link double jumped, but not high enough to reach the platform. Link did a spin attack and not only gained the needed altitude to return to the stage, but also sent Bowser, who was standing at the edge, across the stage and sent him falling into the other side of the abyss. Bowser tried to return but his double and triple jumps were not good enough. King Koopa fell into the abyss.
EK-2 said, “Ha, eat that lizard.” Shane responded with a sneering tone, “That was just one win monkey.” Suddenly, the TV’s picture started becoming blurry. The television and Gamecube then shut off all together. The lights blew out and the room was dark, all except for a glow coming from outside a window. EK-2 walked over to the window and looked outside. A blue disk was hovering outside. EK-2 blinked and collapsed.
Draco Mountain Stronghold, Mount Lassen, California…
The Dracos had established a base of operations inside of Mount Lassen in the Cascade Mountains of Northern California. The infiltration and “harvest” of the human race starts and ends here. EK-2 and Shane had been captured and transported to this place. The Dracos wanted to study Shane after the little incident with that beast he metamorphosed into. EK-2 was brought to the base because Dracorial requested it.
EK-2 woke up inside a gray room with a light on the ceiling shining down brightly on him. The light was way to bright for EK-2’s human eyes. He squinted and saw a door open. A large figure walked in. EK-2 focused on it and saw that it was a Draco with wings. Not Dracorial, not again, Thought EK-2.
Dracorial walked over to EK-2 with his tail dragging behind him. The scaly brute grabbed EK-2 by the collar of his shirt and lifted him up to his face, so close that EK-2 could smell Dracorial’s horrid breath. Dracorial said, “Well, little Earth primate, this ends now. You may have escaped last time but this time I will taste your beating heart within my jaws. Your blood running down my throat will make up for the pain I concurred last time I attempted to consume you.”
Pacific Ocean, Near Gigaraptor’s Island… EK-2 sent a telepathic message to Gigaraptor, who was feeding on fish in the ocean, “Giga! Save my ass now! Some 8 foot lizard man is trying to eat me.” Gigaraptor surfaced from the depths of the ocean after hearing this message. The saurian turned in the direction of the telepathic message and started swimming towards it. Giga was not going to lose what he had left of his “father” Edward Kenton, even if it was merely a clone. Then again, Giga was a clone himself.
Back at the Draco Fortress…
Dracorial was still clenching EK-2 by his shirt collar. Dracorial said, “I’m going to eat you one limb at a time, starting with your arms. Then your legs, Then your head, and lastly your heart.” Dracorial threw EK-2 to the ground with a violent THUD!!! Dracorial grabbed EK-2’s left arm and pressed EK-2 to the wall. EK-2 was still recuperating from being slammed to the floor when blistering pain shot through his left shoulder. EK-2 turned to look and saw only a bloody stump flailing about. Dracorial was knowing on what used to be EK-2’s left arm.
Dracorial was happily chewing on EK-2’s dismembered arm when another, lower ranking Draco opened the door. The lower ranking Draco yelled, “Sir! There is a problem with the Draco-human hybrid in the examination room!” Dracorial said, “Did you anger the hybrid?” The Draco said, “No sir, we tried to make him feel safe.” Dracorial smacked the lower ranking Draco with EK-2’s arm and yelled, “Nobody feels safe under an examination table with 6 foot lizards poking at you with scalpels!”
Dracorial sneered at EK-2 and said, “Your friend has saved you twice, but I will be back in a few moments.” Dracorial and his inferior walked out and the door was sealed.
EK-2 sat there and coughed as he felt woozy. He was losing blood too fast. EK-2 ripped up his shirt and made a makeshift bandage over the stump, Pretty good for having only one arm. The pain EK-2 was feeling was unbearable for the adolescent clone. EK-2 felt a rumbling in the ground. EK-2 thought, “Could just be a tremor.” Another rumble. The rumbles continued and started feeling like foot steps. “Gigaraptor is finally here,” thought the maimed EK-2. Three colossal claws destroyed the ceiling of the room that EK-2 was being held. The saurian face of Gigaraptor was looking down upon
EK-2. was relieved to see Gigaraptor, he was still in pain, but relieved to see the monster. The door flung open with Dracorial coming in. The Draco commander said, “God **** Shane and his transformation, nearly destroyed the-OH MY GOD!” Dracorial was frozen at the sight of the giant raptor looking down on him. Giga roared at Dracorial as the fiend fled the room. Gigaraptor tore down a wall so EK-2 could make it out of the building.
EK-2 was walking outside of the stronghold when he saw a group of Dracos trying to restrain a large lizard beast. “Ah Shane, that crazy bastard,” thought EK-2. The lizard beast smacked a Draco that ran at him with an electrical rod. The beast started running away over to EK-2 and Giga as the beats metamorphosed back into Shane.
Dracorial was furious, not only had his prey escaped but also the test subject who could have been very useful escaped also. Dracorial was sitting in a control room and watching some monitors. The giant saurian and the two boys were going in a South East direction. Dracorial called one of his workers and said, “Release Quasar, make sure he stops those three.” The worker Draco replied, “Yes Sir.”

Gigaraptor vs. Dracorial
PROLOGUE
North America, 112 million years ago…
A six-foot predator was walking through a prehistoric United States. The creature was the last of its kind. The creature was a Utahraptor. The Utahraptor was usually a pack hunter but the species was dieing out all over North America and this one in the forest was all that was left. The lone predator was looking for a meal, it hadn’t eaten in days, and it was hungry.
The raptor spotted an infant Iguanodon drinking water from a stream, isolated from the rest of a massive herd. The raptor would of chosen a larger target but the rest of the pack was dead. The raptor hid behind a tree to stake out an attack.
A small mosquito landed upon the raptor to suck some of its blood. The infinitesimal speck of a bug stuck its proboscis into the raptor’s hide. Sweet, sustaining blood flowed through the mosquito. The mosquito lifted itself off of the raptor and flew towards a tree to rest. The mosquito landed upon the tree and rested.
The mosquito tried to move a leg, it was stuck, the mosquito tried to fly, its body was covered in a sap like material. The mosquito was trapped. A wave of sap completely covered the mosquito and it stopped struggling.
The raptor ran at its unsuspecting prey. The raptor jumped and pounced on the infant iguanodon. The infant screamed in pain and shook its body to throw the raptor off. The raptor held on to its shaking prey with its claws but after a few seconds the raptor slid onto the ground. The iguanodon stood on two legs and smacked the fallen raptor with its thumb spike. The spike made a wound in the raptor’s side and broke a rib. The raptor snarled at its prey as it got up and jumped onto the iguanodon infant’s upper torso as the predator mauled the prey with tooth and claw.
The Iguanodon pummeled the attacking raptor with flailing arms. The prey then swung its thumb claw at the raptor again and impaled the raptor in the neck. The raptor screeched in agony as it let go of its prey. The iguanodon then ran away, back to its herd. The raptor lay there on the ground with blood seeping from its neck into the stream.
Defeated, the raptor wearily pulled itself to its feet and walked away from that stream as the iguanodon herd bellowed in triumph.
The raptor later was walking through the forest looking for a meal. A smaller predator ran across the bushes. The raptor took a snap at the creature and bit it in the neck. The raptor raised its head in success with the smaller predator hanging from its mouth. The creature let out a small squeak as the raptor threw it to the ground. The raptor happily munched down on its meal as it heard more squeaks similar to the ones the meal had made.
The raptor looked up and saw nothing. More squeaks, the raptor looked up this time to see a bunch of those smaller predators. They looked like him, but they were smaller and had large eyes. They had large heads for something that small. The creatures were a new species, Troodon. The Troodons looked at the raptor and then attacked.
The little creatures ran at the raptor and the raptor fought back. The raptor smacked one of its attackers with its tail and snapped at another one. The raptor felt the sting of claws in his back as the Troodons pounced on him and mangled the lone raptor. The raptor tried to shake its attackers off but it couldn’t, the Troodons held on tight.
More Troodons came from the bushes as the rest of the pack joined the rest of the Troodons as the slaughter of the raptor continued. The raptor fell to the ground as the Troodons began picking bits of flesh from the collapsed. The raptor was still alive, but unable to move. Pain was flowing through the raptor like a river of wasps. The raptor closed its eyes and opened them one more time, determined to hold on to life.
The raptor’s eyes eased open as it saw one of its attackers looking it in the eye. The Troodon suddenly snapped and the raptor went blind. The Troodon had eaten the raptor’s eye; the other eye couldn’t be used because it was pressed to the ground.
That was the last thing that that raptor would ever see in its life. The Troodons left a bloody corpse, the last of the Utahraptor species. Is it gone forever? Not quite, remember that mosquito? It got trapped in the sap and would later become amber. That certain piece of amber would later come into the possession of Professor Edward Kenton. Edward Kenton would use extract the raptor blood from the mosquito and accidentally create Gigaraptor, Earth’s savior.
Amboy, California, 8 years ago…
The stars shown brightly over the desert on a cool night as the clock in the Jameson household struck midnight. The old grandfather clock’s deep chime echoed throughout the cement house. The lavender paint was peeling off the aged walls. A blooming toddler named Shane Jameson was slumbering serenely when a blue light materialized slowly out of the distance. This didn’t stir Shane, but the light seemed to become larger and larger.
The light stopped growing, and it appeared to take the shape of a disk. Shane started to toss and tumble in his bed, as the house’s backdoor creaked open. Sounds of stomps reverberated all over the cement dwelling. Shane opened his eyes, awakening from his light sleep. The stomping made the boy look around and sweat started dripping from Shane’s forehead. Three dark, tall humanoids stepped into the Shane’s room and looked at the perspiring toddler. One of the beings looked at the other two and nodded its head. The three beings stepped into the light coming from the window and it was revealed that they were scaly and green, like humanoid lizards. One of them grabbed Shane and was able to grasp his entire body with one hand. The being clasped its other hand around Shane’s head to prevent the child from screaming. Shane struggled to break free, but his frail body in no way could overpower this scaly fiend. The being holding Shane and the other two creatures proceeded to exit the house.
The three scaly animals carrying Shane walked out to the source of the blue light, a hovering, disk-like craft. The three beings stood directly beneath the craft while Shane kept trying to escape. A yellow stream of light shot down from the disk and engulfed the beings and Shane. They rose up toward the disk and entered the disk through an entrance at the bottom of the disk.
Shane was taken to what appeared to be a metallic surgery room. He was strapped to a metal bed and more of the scaly beings entered the room. The beings looked to be six feet tall. The reptilians gathered around the bed and stood in a circle and stopped, as if they were waiting for something…
A new scaly being entered the room. This one was different though. It was taller and bulkier. It also had a pair of large wings folded behind its back. On the middle of its forehead, was a metallic medallion that was gleaming from reflected light. The largest being said, “Hello Earth child. Congratulations. You get to be part of our plan to invade society of your planet by infesting young seedlings and turning them half Draco. Our plan is to infiltrate your society by making the younger generations into crosses between humans and us.”
Shane, being only five years old, understood nothing that the largest being said. The largest being hissed at the other beings and they nodded and one pressed a button. A red light was projected at Shane’s head and the toddler was blinded. What happened next, Shane did not see, but he could feel it. Shane felt his insides twisting and his blood reforming. It felt like a ghostly hand was metamorphosing his entire body. Shane wanted to scream, but just as the high-pitched shriek was about to leave his body, he fainted…
Main Story
Las Angeles, California, Present Day…
A black haired kid was sprawled out on a brand new couch. The kid was watching violent Japanese cartoons when a middle aged balding man stepped in the room and yelled, “EK-2, get off your ass and do something! You haven’t done anything all day! You could use some sunlight.” The black haired kid muttered under his breath, “And you could use some time on the treadmill fat ass.” The black haired kid was EK-2. He is not a normal human; he is a clone of the great scientist Edward Kenton. The middle-aged man was Horace Burton, the man who had supervised the cloning of Edward Kenton.
Horace said, “Come on, and just because the Government funded this building doesn’t mean you have to spend the entire day in it. Get outside and do something productive.” EK-2 grumbled as he pulled himself up off of the couch, “Ugghh, I don’t wanna,” EK-2 grunted.
Edward Kenton, in his first incarnation, was a brilliant scientist who had almost cloned a Utah Raptor. The raptor had been cloned enough to be an embryo, but Kenton’s lab was shut down by the military after his assistant stole secret military chemicals. The military disposed of the embryo and later it was exposed to toxic waste. The waste mutated the raptor embryo into a giant beast known as Gigaraptor. Gigaraptor later attacked Seattle but Kenton, through an odd telepathic connection, stopped Gigaraptor and started to use the beast as mankind’s savior. Gigaraptor, through Kenton, had fought twelve monsters over the years. Recently though, Kenton was killed in a car accident and the power to control Gigaraptor was lost. Horace, Kenton’s old colleague before his death, in a desperate attempt; cloned his old comrade in a desperate attempt to preserve the power to control Gigaraptor.
When EK-2 was only an embryo, he started exhibiting psychic powers similar to the one’s Kenton possessed before his death. These psychic powers were used to call Gigaraptor to San Francisco to fight the magnetic terror Poleax. Gigaraptor fought Poleax while a group of scientists prepared a weapon that would destroy Poleax. The plan worked and Poleax is now stranded at the bottom of the ocean thanks to his phenomenal weight.
The California government had gotten word of the scientists tactics and offered them money and resources to form an organization to combat the threat of giant monsters. Usually the government wouldn’t just hand out taxpayer’s money just like that but the government was desperate because the threat of giant monsters was becoming larger and larger as time passed.
Horace was one of the scientists that assisted in defeating Poleax and was in charge of the monster defense team. Using the government funds, a base had been constructed towards the shores of the Pacific Ocean. The base stood seven stories above the sea line and had a basement that went down three stories. The organization was called GMTF or Giant Monster Task Force.
EK-2 pulled himself off of the couch and stumbled towards the elevator. The lad pushed a button on the elevator and waited as the screen above the doors read off a different number as the elevator came closer. 1…2…3…4…5…6 Finally the elevator reached EK-2’s floor and the boy stepped into the elevator. He pushed the button labeled first floor and the doors closed. A small rumble in the confined space EK-2 stood in occurred and the elevator started going down. EK-2 thought to himself, “I should go to the paranormal research center with Ted.” Unknown to EK-2, a major alien attack had happened only a few years before his ‘birth’ and the observatories were always watching for more UFOs headed toward Earth. EK-2 was very interested in the paranormal and studied it with a passion.
As the elevator reached the first floor, EK-2 steeped out and walked towards the door. The little delinquent pushed open the doors and sunlight nearly blinded him because he was inside that dark room all day. As EK-2 stumbled out of the building, he pulled out his Cell Phone to call his friend Ted. Ted was also a paranormal freak.
Ring! “Huh,” Ted muttered as he looked around. Ring! “What’s happening?” Ring! “The Aliens are here to kill me!!!” Ring! “Oh, its just me phone,” Ted said, relieved. Ted stumbled over to the phone as his alien wallpaper on his computer shined through the dark room.
Ted grabbed the phone and grumbled, “Hello?” “Yo, Ted!” EK-2’s voice rang through the receiver. Ted was relieved, he thought it was Government agents attempting to persuade him to stop obsessing about aliens. “What’s up good buddy? You are EK-2 right?” EK-2 thought to himself, “I have the most paranoid friend on the planet.” “Yes I am EK-2,” the clone said. Ted answered, “How many UFOs have I been abducted by in the last year?” EK-2, flustered, said, “You claim to have been abducted by six UFOs.” Ted said, “You probably are EK-2, but you could be an alien imposter.” EK-2 said back in to the receiver, “Good god man, do you want to go to the paranormal research center today?” Ted excitedly replied, “HELL YES!!! I have to report that Gray I saw sulking about the street last night!!!!” EK-2 shook his head and said, “Well…ok then. Meet me at 7th Street.” “Will do,” Tim answered.
An hour later, Tim met his clone friend at the 7th street intersection. The two exchanged hellos and they set off towards the Paranormal Research Center. Gib Fonder ran it. Gib was twice as paranoid as Ted. Gib had a bomb shelter that had enough canned goods and supplies to last five people for thirty years. The paranormal research center was always abuzz with UFO buffs and non-UFO buffs alike.
Today, black cars surrounded the Paranormal Research Center. Tall men in black suits were walking about the place along with hooded figures wearing cloaks. The cloaked figures walked into the building while the figures in the black suits patrolled the outside.
The two boys hid behind a dumpster and watched what was happening. Ted whispered to EK-2, “I knew this was going to happen someday. Gib was way to open with his intentions.” EK-2 yelled, “Shut up, you talk about who’s out to get who to much.” One of the black suited men overheard EK-2 yelling and the figure started walking towards the dumpster. The black suited man walked with a jerky motion, looked almost as jerky as King Kong did with stop motion in his first film.
EK-2 grabbed a nearby pipe just in case. Ted searched the many pockets of his cargo jeans for a camera. He didn’t want to miss this moment. The black suited man hobbled directly over the boys and looked down. EK-2 looked up and saw a man that looked like a corpse. His skin was completely white, with no hair, no eyebrows, eyelashes, or facial hair of any kind. The man was wearing wrap-around sunglasses. CLANK! EK-2 swung the pipe and hit the black suited man in the head. The pipe just made a banging sound upon hitting the black suited man and nothing else.
The black suited man looked towards Ted, who had just pulled out his Polaroid camera and the camera sent a blinding light into the suited man’s face. The suited man, with ease, lifted up the dumpster and tossed it aside. The boys watched in horror and awe at the same time at this amazing feat.
The suited man walked towards Ted. Up close, the boys saw that the suited man was nearly seven feet tall. The suited man stood imposingly over Ted, who was sitting on the ground with pants soiled. The suited man grabbed Ted’s camera and pulled it out of the soiled one’s hands. The suited man opened up the back of the camera and took out the film that contained pictures of the suited men. The suited man put the film inside of his coat and said in an eerie tone, “You boys saw nothing.” EK-2 nodded in fear as the suited man walked back to the rest of the group.
EK-2 got off of the ground and said, ‘Lets go, before something else happens.” Ted shivered in fear as he pulled himself off of the ground. EK-2 pointed at the wet spot in his friend’s pants and said, ‘Ha ha, you peed your pants.” Ted glared at EK-2, then a smirk came across his face. Ted mockingly replied, “So did you.” EK-2 looked down at his shorts and saw a wet mark running down his leg. “Shut up,” EK-2 grumbled.
EK-2 went back to GMTF and didn’t speak about his encounter. When he walked into the living quarters, Horace asked him, “What happened to you?” as the scientist looked at EK-2’s pants. “Well, Ted and me started squirting water at each other from Gatorade bottles,” EK-2 lied. Horace shook his head and said, “You need to stop hanging out with that Ted, he is going nuts.” The clone looked up and nervously asked, “W-Why y-y-you s-s-say that?” Horace got out of the chair he was sitting in and said, “He called here earlier saying that you and him had an encounter with the ‘Men in Black’, Then I asked him if he asked Tommy Lee Jones for an autograph and I hung up when he said no.”
EK-2’s heart skipped a beat at that news. The suited man, though not directly, told them not to tell anyone. The suited man’s tone was stern when he told the boys. EK-2’s left eye began twitching, Horace saw that and said, “Ed used to do that when he was nervous, what’s wrong?” EK-2 said, “Nothing Horace, good night.” EK-2 walked towards his bedroom as Horace yelled, “But its only 6:30!”
EK-2 watched the city from his window. He saw a blue disk flash across the sky and descend in the direction towards Ted’s house. EK-2 shook his head and prayed that the aliens weren’t coming for him.
Ted was too nervous and scared to sleep. He had been on the Internet all night looking for information on the black suited men, known as Men in Black to UFO buffs. Ted found out nothing that he didn’t already know, but Ted still was puzzled about the Men in Black that he and EK-2 saw earlier. Ted had told everyone that he knew about the encounter. Nobody believed him. Ted had just loaded on to a MIB site that supposedly had pictures and accurate histories of the MIB, when he heard a rumbling outside. It was a loud rumbling and a bluish glow came in from Ted’s bedroom window. The glow reflected off of Ted’s ‘Aliens are Real’ posters. Ted walked slowly toward the window, with a pretty good guess of what was happening. Ted guessed that the MIB had come back for him.
Ted looked out the window. The blue light intensified and Ted felt blinded. Ted blinked his eyes once, then again. On the third try, Ted could see again, but he wasn’t in his room anymore. Ted was lying down on a bed with odd creatures circling him. The creatures looked humanoid, but they were scaly and had large, black eyes. They had hands with three long fingers ending in sharp claws, two regular fingers and an opposable thumb. They had small tails hanging down from their legs. They had muscular looking legs that resembled those seen on ostriches, but not nearly as large. Their feet had three toes. Two of the twos were normal, but one curled up like a Velociraptor’s large claw. The creature’s height ranged between five and seven feet.
The creatures were holding medical equipment and were looking at Ted expectantly. Ted wanted to sit up but he was strapped down to this bed. He struggled to break free but it came to no avail. Ted screamed, “Don’t anal probe me!!!” An eight-foot tall figure stepped forth. This one looked like the rest, except he was taller and more muscular. It also had wings and an odd medallion on its forehead. The figure spoke, “The black suited men told you not to tell about your encounter. We can’t have untrustworthy individuals like you running about the planet. Your friend didn’t tell, you shouldn’t of.” Ted was shaking as he said, “B-B-b-but n-n-n-nobody b-b-believed m-m-m-me!” The figure shook its scaly head and said, “It doesn’t matter, and the point is that you disobeyed our orders. For that, we will erase your memory of the incident and modify your conscience so you don’t believe in non-earthly beings.” Ted yelled, “NOOOOOO!!!!!!!” Ted continued to scream. The tallest being was annoyed by this and he said to the smaller beings an indecipherable phrase that just sounded like mumbles and growls. One of the smaller ones nodded and it pressed a button on a panel and a mechanical arm came down from the ceiling and opened up a robotic hand over Ted’s mouth. A beam came down from the hand and Ted’s screams stopped. Ted was unable to open his mouth. The beam pried his jaws shut.
The tallest being was relieved that Ted’s screams stopped. The being spoke in the indecipherable language again to his smaller beings and they pressed another button which turned on a giant machine that was behind the bed that Ted was strapped to. A robotic pair of arms came out of the machine and placed a metal band around Ted’s skull. The metal band had wires that ran back to the machine. The machine was turned on as lights on the headband and the machine itself began lighting up. Intense electro-magnetic waves surged through Ted’s mind, altering memories and beliefs and whatnot. After five minutes of this, Ted was almost unconscious. He was severely disillusioned and uncoordinated. The metal band was removed from his head and there was no hair where the band had been.
The tallest being looked down at Ted’s cargo pants and he reached down and pulled a pack of batteries. The being held the battery pack up to the medallion on its head and the medallion lighted up and the batteries collapsed into battery acid. The being’s muscles grew a small bit after that.
The creatures piloted the ship back to Ted’s dwelling and they placed the disillusioned child back in his own bed and they departed after that.
The next day…
EK-2 hadn’t been able to sleep that last night, he was nervous and scared, scared about what might happen to Ted. EK-2 saw the blue disk fly back to Ted’s house and then leave again. EK-2 was going to go back to Ted’s house as soon as daylight came.
EK-2 pulled his one hundred seventy pound body out of his bed and walked over to his dresser. He had to make a path from his bed to the dresser. The floor was covered with clothes, magazines, and trash. EK-2 carved out a path with his feet. When the child reached his dresser, he opened up the dresser and pulled out a black muscle shirt with a crossbones print. EK-2 pulled out a pair of denim shorts and pulled them up. He put on a Nike ball cap and then he walked towards the door. He pushed open the plastic door and saw Horace sleeping on the couch. EK-2 shook his head and continued towards the elevator.
EK-2 walked past the portrait of the first Edward Kenton. For once, EK-2 stopped to look at the person he was cloned from. The portrait was a painting of Kenton working with test tubes at a laboratory table. He had a smile on his face. EK-2 never really gave much thought to the fact that he was an attempt to preserve a great scientist and the power to control the mighty Gigaraptor. EK-2 smiled at this and he pressed the button on the elevator. The elevator was on this floor so he didn’t have to wait. EK-2 stepped into the elevator and pressed the first floor button.
EK-2 waited for a few minutes for the elevator to reach the bottom floor and then the clone walked out of the elevator. He walked out the door and started towards Ted’s house. As he walked, a pain in his stomach became eminent and increased in pain as he got closer and closer to his friend’s house.
When EK-2 reached his friend’s house, he saw Ted walking out the backdoor with a trash bag. EK-2 walked up to his friend and said, “What are you trashin’?” Ted said, “I’m throwing away all of this alien rubbish. They don’t exist.” EK-2, in a confused tone, said, “But you-we-m-m-met the Men in Black yesterday! You were up all night looking for information on aliens!” Ted answered, “I don’t know what you are talking about, I’ve never believed in aliens.” EK-2 said, “What the hell is wrong with you? And what’s that line of baldness in your hair?” Ted said, “Must go, see you later clone child.” Ted ran into his house and EK-2 said under his breath, “Psycho.”
EK-2 thought to himself, “What the hell happened to Ted? Must have been something with the UFO I saw go to his house last night.” EK-2 was going to go back to the Paranormal Research Center to see if those suited men will still sulking about the place. EK-2 sulked the whole way there.
EK-2 reached the Paranormal Research Center, but it wasn’t the same as yesterday. The black cars were still parked everywhere, but no suited men. EK-2 was going to see if anyone was inside. EK-2 snuck down behind the building to try to go in through the back door.
EK-2 turned the handle on the back door, it wasn’t locked, and Gib usually always locked the back door at all hours. Even once, Ted suggested that he just get rid of the door and make a wall there instead.
The halls were empty, eerily empty. No UFO buffs were arguing with people who didn’t believe in UFOs, no Bigfoot hunters showing off their plaster casts of sasquatch footprints, not even little kids running around looking for real aliens. EK-2 looked down at the floor and reached into his pocket to grab the secret map of the place that Gib had given him. EK-2 accidentally bumped into somebody, “Sorry,” EK-2 apologized. EK-2 looked up and saw Gib standing above him. EK-2 said in relief, “Gib, what in God’s name in going on? Those black cars from Yesterday are still here.” Gib looked at him confusedly and said, “What are talking about little human?” EK-2 just stared at Gib, who had a blank look on his face. Gib started sniffing and said, “Do you have a power source on you?” EK-2 dug into his pocket and said, “I have these batteries for my Gameboy.” Gib snatched the batteries out of EK-2’s hand and said, “Thank you very much. You are a good human. Will give these to master.” Gib excitedly ran in the opposite direction towards the stairs that led to Gib’s private room where he kept all of his most secret conspiracy theories and pictures.
EK-2 thought, “Master? Since when does he have a master?” EK-2 shook his head as he continued down the hall. EK-2 decided to follow Gib up the stairs. EK-2, rather than bursting in the room, pressed his ear up to the door to listen to what was happening. He heard two different voices, one was the voice of Gib he heard earlier, the other voice was louder and deeper.
“Master, I have brought you more of the small earth power sources you need.”
“ Thank you, though I need food to sustain me, I was blessed with the ability to absorb these power sources.”
“You are our leader for a reason.”
“What are you trying to do? Get a promotion to a higher position in this task force? Get out!”
“Yes sir. Wait.”
“What???!!!”
“Why are we talking in English, Master?
“Because, the author not only doesn’t understand our native language, its also impossible to write.”
“That makes sense. I’ll be going then.”
EK-2 ran back to the bottom of the stairs as he heard Gib walking toward the door. EK-2 hid behind a statue of a Gray as Gib walked by and walked into a room. EK-2 walked back up the stairs and slowly opened the door.
As the door revealed the room, EK-2 saw a bloody corpse on the ground that he recognized as Gib. He opened the door further to find a scaly brute eating the corpse. The brute had wings and a small medallion protruding from its forehead. The being had a tail with small spikes protruding from it. The creature looked up from its meal and at EK-2. EK-2’s heart skipped a beat right then. The being snarled at EK-2 with blood dripping from its teeth. The being said in the deep voice he heard earlier, “Who are you earth boy?” EK-2 nervously said, “I-I-I a-a-a-am E-E-E-K-K-K 2.” The being said, “EK-2 hmm? That’s an odd Earth name. But I suspect you’ll taste fine just the same.” EK-2 looked at the creature with fear and said, “W-w-what’s going on? I just saw that person you are eating walk out of this room.” The creature chuckled at this and answered, “You saw a hologram of the person I am eating.” EK-2 was confused, “Eh, what the hell did you say?” The being growled and said, “You see this human I’m eating? Well, you saw the same person. But that person was a hologram of this person. I am eating the REAL thing.” EK-2 nodded and said, “What in God’s name are you?”
The creature got up and wiped the blood from its mouth with its left arm. The creature said, “I am Dracorial, lord of the Dracos.” EK-2 asked, “Who are the Dracos?” Dracorial answered, “About 70 million years ago, a species of dinosaur the you humans called Troodon evolved on this planet. Troodon had an especially large brain for a dinosaur. Troodon was able to evolve in a pattern similar to you primates. Troodon, after 3 million years of evolution, had evolved into a race of highly intelligent creatures that were called Dracos. The Dracos had learned the secret of space travel and we set up a colony on a planet in the Alpha Draconis star system. Two million years later, an asteroid devastated our home planet, Earth, and killed the Dracos residing on Earth that we know of. The Dracos living in Alpha Draconis were the only ones left.”
EK-2 oddly found this perfectly logical. EK-2 said, “Why are you Dracos back on Earth then?” Dracorial said, “On a scout mission to your planet a few thousand years ago, we found that the planet was populated with our favorite food, mammals. We took a special interest in you developing humans, and we’ve watched you over the years. You’ve gotten fatter and fatter, which makes for good meals.”
EK-2 seemed puzzled that Dracorial just openly told him about the Dracos plot for the humans. EK-2 said, “Why did you just tell me your species’ entire plan?” Dracorial answered, “It doesn’t matter, because you won’t live to tell anyone.” Dracorial bared his teeth and started walking towards EK-2 with an evil look in his eyes. “You ought to taste splendid,” the scaled fiend whispered.
Dracorial started walking towards EK-2 with his mouth open and saliva dripping from his mouth. A malevolent scarlet iris pierced the blackness of Dracorial’s eyes. A black, slit-like pupil tore from the blood red of the iris. The monstrous fangs inside Dracorial’s mouth were more than an inch long and looked very sharp.
EK-2 kept backing away the approaching monster until he found himself cornered. His heart pulsed like a machine gun firing into a battlefield. Dracorial reached out with one of his bony, scaly arms and grabbed EK-2 by the waste and lifted him off of the ground.
Dracorial paused and whispered to EK-2, “I will rip your pulsing heart out with my jaws, the heart of you mammals is almost as tasty as your large brains. The faster the heartbeat, the better the taste.”
EK-2 struggled to break free of the reptilian fiend’s grip. The grasp of that skeletal feeling hand squeezed harder and EK-2 felt Dracorial’s finger claws tunnel their way into EK-2’s pelvic area. The blistering pain rushed up through EK-2’s body and the child screamed in pain. Dracorial chortled at this and pulled his struggling prey close to him and opened his jaws as the throbbing heart was beating faster than ever.
A horrid cloud of air came from Dracorial’s mouth and nearly suffocated EK-2 when there was a banging at the door. Dracorial turned his head, but didn’t put EK-2 down. The banging continued until the door fell down. Standing outside the room, was another boy about EK-2’s age. The boy was a bit taller than EK-2 and a little heavier built than our protagonist. He had medium blond hair that was neatly done and combed. The most noticeable feature of this person, who just knocked down the door, was his eyes. The boy’s eyes were a very bright green, brighter than any he had ever seen on a human being. The pupils, were similar to those Dracorial possessed.
The boy looked over at Dracorial and the boy simply said, “Put him down.” Dracorial jerked his head toward the boy. At the sight of him, Dracorial dropped EK-2 and said, “Ah, its you. What do you want?” The blond boy answered, “You need to stop eating any person who wanders into your midst. This certain child you were about to eat is a very important child.” Dracorial’s face turned from a look of surprise, to a look of disgust. Dracorial said, “How so?” The boy answered, “This child, is the key to an awesome power known as Gigaraptor.” Dracorial rolled his vile red eyes and walked over to the boy. Dracorial stood nearly three feet taller than the mysterious boy. Dracorial looked the boy in the eyes and said, “I don’t give a ****.” Dracorial swung one of his massive arms and hit the boy and the impact of the hit threw the boy into the wall.
The boy had to recover from the initial impact of the crash, and then he stood up. The boy’s skin started to become green and scaly. His face became longer and narrower until it resembled a snout. The boy yelled as his back became longer and his arms became larger. A reptilian skin replaced his fingers and his fingernails became long, sharp claws. The boy’s pants ripped open as a tail protruded from the bottom of the boy’s vertebrate. His human teeth grew long and narrow and sharp. The boy grew muscles and they rapidly began growing. All of his clothes were ripped in this growing process and when the boy finally stopped growing, the only thing that had remained the same about the boy was his eyes. His eyes were virtually unchanged from when the boy first walked into the room.
The beast that the boy changed into was now larger than Dracorial. The beast resembled a cross between a crocodile and the incredible hulk. The beast stood up on two legs and roared at Dracorial, who wasn’t the least bit afraid.
The beast grabbed Dracorial and threw him towards the ceiling. The Draco lord crashed through the ceiling and broke it and sunlight poured into the room. The beast ran over to the wall and climbed onto the ceiling and looked out of the hole that Dracorial had made. The beast saw Dracorial flapping broad wings and glaring at the creature. The beats snarled and leaped out of the building and tackled Dracorial out of the air.
The two were falling down as the beast held onto Dracorial with one arm and he viciously smacked Dracorial with his free arm. Dracorial saw they were about to hit the ground; he started clawing viciously at his attacker to throw him off. He deeply slashed the arm that the beast was holding onto him with and the creature screeched in pain. He let go and Dracorial viciously started flapping his wings to get away.
The creature slammed into the ground with titanic force as Dracorial laughed viciously. Dracorial started to fly downward. The beast got up and Dracorial dove at his opponent as the beast just stood there and looked at Dracorial like nothing was going to happen.
Dracorial raised his claws for an attack as his hulking foe looked at Dracorial with a mocking gaze. The reptilian beast raised its left arm as Dracorial tried to slash his foe at the bottom of the dive. The beast slammed its arm down on Dracorial and Dracorial crashed into the ground with titanic force.
Dracorial crawled from where he fell and he looked up at the snarling saurian creature standing over him with drool falling to the ground. Dracorial pulled himself to his feet and said, “You bastard, you beat me today, but don’t go gloating about this. You’ll see me again soon.”
Dracorial flapped his wings wearily and took off into the air in a northwest direction. The beast started a loud roar that eventually faded into human yelling. The creature started shrinking and turning back into a human. The eyes remained the same, as usual. A naked boy stood where the hulking dinosaur like creature stood.
EK-2 had watched the entire fight from the room that Dracorial had tried to eat him in. EK-2 snickered at the naked boy and EK-2 grabbed some clothes from a dresser that hadn’t been smashed. EK-2 ran down the stairs and walked outside where the naked boy was panting heavily. EK-2 tossed him the clothes and said, “Who the hell are you and what the hell just happened?”
With a partly deep voice, the boy answered, “My name is Shane. You just witnessed me fighting in my mutant form.” EK-2 looked at Shane in an odd way and said, “Mutant form?” Shane nodded and said, “Yeah, when I was about five years old, I was abducted by Dracos. They performed some experiments on me and now I am half Draco.” EK-2 scratched his hair and said, “That explains your eyes…” Shane snickered and said, “My eyes? You haven’t seen anything yet.” Shane turned around and showed EK-2 his bare back and said, “Look at that, isn’t it sick?” Shane pointed to some scaly skin on his back as EK-2 gave a look of being grossed out at Shane. EK-2 said, “That’s really ass sick.” Shane nodded in agreement and said, “I bet you wondering about my mutant form also, that happens to me when I get really pissed off.”
EK-2 said, “How’d you know that Dracorial was attacking me?” Shane simply answered, “Draco Mind Link.” EK-2 said, “What the hell is that?” Shane said, “All Dracos have a connection in their minds. We can tell when other Dracos are near and when they are feeling strong emotions, especially a powerful Draco like Dracorial.” EK-2 was puzzled, but it made perfect sense. EK-2 said, “Why’d you save me? I’m just a stranger you don’t even know.” Shane said, “I sensed a psychic power within you, it was different than mine, but I sensed it anyway. What is that psychic power?” EK-2 said, “You’d only laugh.” Shane said, “I probably would, but tell me anyway.” EK-2 said, “Well…Ok…I am the only human on Earth that can control Gigaraptor.” Shane went red and then burst out laughing. Shane said, “Gigaraptor? Good god, your crazy man.”
EK-2 said, “Ha ha, laugh now. But you’ll see that I’m not lying when the appropriate time comes.” Shane said, “Whatever…” Shane pulled on the pants that EK-2 gave him and pulled on the shirt. EK-2 and Shane started walking away from the ruins of the building that Shane and Dracorial ruined.
EK-2 said, “You wanna come over to my place?” Shane said, “Well, sure.” EK-2 nodded and they started walking towards GMTF HQ.
The two reached the tower that looked over the Las Angeles coastline and EK- said, “This is it.” Shane said, “HOLY ****!!! You live here?” EK-2 answered, “Yeah, I do. The guy who created me is in charge of the joint.” Shane shook his head in amazement as the two walked in the sliding doors. Shane looked around in wonder at all the technology and weaponry. Shane muttered, “This would surely help in my plot for world domination!” EK-2 said, “What?” Shane answered, “Nothin”
The two stepped into the elevator and EK-2 pressed the sixth floor button. The elevator doors closed and the elevator started moving up. Shane said, “You got some cool crap in this place you lucky bastard.” EK-2 said, “Federal funding man, we only used half of what we got on weapons, the rest was used on furnishing this place.” Shane said, “God **** it.”
The elevator stopped at the sixth floor and the two walked out and Shane looked at the portrait of Edward Kenton. Shane said, “Who’s that?” EK-2 looked up and said, “That’s Ed Kenton, he’s the guy I’m cloned from.” Shane said, “You’re a clone huh?” EK-2 answered, “Yep, When Poleax attacked San Francisco a few months back, Ed was killed and Gigaraptor was needed to be called to the city.” Shane said, “I see.”
Shane and EK-2 stepped into the Rec. Room of the living quarters of GMTF. Shane looked up at the gargantuan Flat screen plasma television and said, “Holy ****, you got it good here.” EK-2 shook his head and said, “You ain’t seen nothing yet.” EK-2 walked over to the coffee table in front of the couch and grabbed a remote. He pressed a button and the coffee table lowered itself into the floor and a table rose up that was equipped with nearly 10 different game consoles and a DVD/VHS player. EK-2 walked over to the Platinum Edition Gamecube and turned it on. He grabbed two wireless controllers and tossed one to Shane. EK-2 said, “Up for some Super Smash Brothers Melee?” Shane walked over and plopped himself on the couch and said, “You know it!”
The Gamecube logo flashed across the television screen and the opening movie for Melee played. EK-2 selected versus mode. Shane said, “You will fall before King Koopa’s might.” EK-2 replied, “The hell I am,” as he selected Link. EK-2 said, “What stage?” Shane said, “Final Destination.”
Link and Bowser were dropped onto the stage as Link ran at Bowser and did a running slash. Bowser fell back and smacked Link with a powerful straight punch. Link sliced bowser with a nice vertical slash. Bowser grabbed link and started biting him. Link struggled to get free and then Bowser smacked Link with the straight punch again. Link was sent flying off of the platform, hurdling into an infinite abyss. Link double jumped, but not high enough to reach the platform. Link did a spin attack and not only gained the needed altitude to return to the stage, but also sent Bowser, who was standing at the edge, across the stage and sent him falling into the other side of the abyss. Bowser tried to return but his double and triple jumps were not good enough. King Koopa fell into the abyss.
EK-2 said, “Ha, eat that lizard.” Shane responded with a sneering tone, “That was just one win monkey.” Suddenly, the TV’s picture started becoming blurry. The television and Gamecube then shut off all together. The lights blew out and the room was dark, all except for a glow coming from outside a window. EK-2 walked over to the window and looked outside. A blue disk was hovering outside. EK-2 blinked and collapsed.
Draco Mountain Stronghold, Mount Lassen, California…
The Dracos had established a base of operations inside of Mount Lassen in the Cascade Mountains of Northern California. The infiltration and “harvest” of the human race starts and ends here. EK-2 and Shane had been captured and transported to this place. The Dracos wanted to study Shane after the little incident with that beast he metamorphosed into. EK-2 was brought to the base because Dracorial requested it.
EK-2 woke up inside a gray room with a light on the ceiling shining down brightly on him. The light was way to bright for EK-2’s human eyes. He squinted and saw a door open. A large figure walked in. EK-2 focused on it and saw that it was a Draco with wings. Not Dracorial, not again, Thought EK-2.
Dracorial walked over to EK-2 with his tail dragging behind him. The scaly brute grabbed EK-2 by the collar of his shirt and lifted him up to his face, so close that EK-2 could smell Dracorial’s horrid breath. Dracorial said, “Well, little Earth primate, this ends now. You may have escaped last time but this time I will taste your beating heart within my jaws. Your blood running down my throat will make up for the pain I concurred last time I attempted to consume you.”
Pacific Ocean, Near Gigaraptor’s Island… EK-2 sent a telepathic message to Gigaraptor, who was feeding on fish in the ocean, “Giga! Save my ass now! Some 8 foot lizard man is trying to eat me.” Gigaraptor surfaced from the depths of the ocean after hearing this message. The saurian turned in the direction of the telepathic message and started swimming towards it. Giga was not going to lose what he had left of his “father” Edward Kenton, even if it was merely a clone. Then again, Giga was a clone himself.
Back at the Draco Fortress…
Dracorial was still clenching EK-2 by his shirt collar. Dracorial said, “I’m going to eat you one limb at a time, starting with your arms. Then your legs, Then your head, and lastly your heart.” Dracorial threw EK-2 to the ground with a violent THUD!!! Dracorial grabbed EK-2’s left arm and pressed EK-2 to the wall. EK-2 was still recuperating from being slammed to the floor when blistering pain shot through his left shoulder. EK-2 turned to look and saw only a bloody stump flailing about. Dracorial was knowing on what used to be EK-2’s left arm.
Dracorial was happily chewing on EK-2’s dismembered arm when another, lower ranking Draco opened the door. The lower ranking Draco yelled, “Sir! There is a problem with the Draco-human hybrid in the examination room!” Dracorial said, “Did you anger the hybrid?” The Draco said, “No sir, we tried to make him feel safe.” Dracorial smacked the lower ranking Draco with EK-2’s arm and yelled, “Nobody feels safe under an examination table with 6 foot lizards poking at you with scalpels!”
Dracorial sneered at EK-2 and said, “Your friend has saved you twice, but I will be back in a few moments.” Dracorial and his inferior walked out and the door was sealed.
EK-2 sat there and coughed as he felt woozy. He was losing blood too fast. EK-2 ripped up his shirt and made a makeshift bandage over the stump, Pretty good for having only one arm. The pain EK-2 was feeling was unbearable for the adolescent clone. EK-2 felt a rumbling in the ground. EK-2 thought, “Could just be a tremor.” Another rumble. The rumbles continued and started feeling like foot steps. “Gigaraptor is finally here,” thought the maimed EK-2. Three colossal claws destroyed the ceiling of the room that EK-2 was being held. The saurian face of Gigaraptor was looking down upon
EK-2. was relieved to see Gigaraptor, he was still in pain, but relieved to see the monster. The door flung open with Dracorial coming in. The Draco commander said, “God **** Shane and his transformation, nearly destroyed the-OH MY GOD!” Dracorial was frozen at the sight of the giant raptor looking down on him. Giga roared at Dracorial as the fiend fled the room. Gigaraptor tore down a wall so EK-2 could make it out of the building.
EK-2 was walking outside of the stronghold when he saw a group of Dracos trying to restrain a large lizard beast. “Ah Shane, that crazy bastard,” thought EK-2. The lizard beast smacked a Draco that ran at him with an electrical rod. The beast started running away over to EK-2 and Giga as the beats metamorphosed back into Shane.
Dracorial was furious, not only had his prey escaped but also the test subject who could have been very useful escaped also. Dracorial was sitting in a control room and watching some monitors. The giant saurian and the two boys were going in a South East direction. Dracorial called one of his workers and said, “Release Quasar, make sure he stops those three.” The worker Draco replied, “Yes Sir.”
