A/N: This story is AU, just letting you know. Trust me, it’s important to know that. However, the movies and TV series have still occurred. This takes place roughly a few days after the last episode.
Freedom. I was finally free.

That idea didn’t quite sink in. The fact that I finally escaped Baxter still hadn’t caught on.
But it was true. I had finally ended Baxter’s hold over me. The wasted years of being a guinea pig and servant were over. All thanks to the bastard’s latest invention.

Excuse me, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Jack Cutler Anderson.
If you’re going to understand what I am talking about, then I should go back to the beginning. It all started when I was eight years old. My parents died in a fire, leaving me with my “third cousin two times removed”, Dr. Richard Baxter.

If you’ve ever seen a Saturday morning cartoon, then you would understand what Baxter was. He was the epitome of a mad scientist, complete with all these crazy inventions and experiments. All of his inventions were solar powered, so they didn’t have to worry about batteries running out.

He invented a lot of things that could have helped humanity. Chief among them was a genetic food replicator, which basically stored a sample of DNA from meat or plants and would grow it quickly. It could easily produce a huge amount of food in a short amount of time. If he revealed it to the public, it could have ended world hunger.

But the stingy bastard was too afraid of “Big Brother” stealing his ideas that he kept all his inventions secret. To defend his “kingdom”, as he called his lab, he also created deadly weapons. There was a proton bolt rifle, and a plasma beam sword. Like his other inventions, they were solar powered.
The crazy asshole also had a thing for freakish experiments, such as intentionally poisoning people, so he could gauge how long they survived. He evaded getting in trouble with the law by choosing his victims from places where law was corrupt.

But his latest device was something even stranger. He long hypothesized that a parallel universe existed, where past present and future collided on a single planet. Based on his research, he believed that each period was clustered in different locations on the planet. For example, there would be a medieval island near an ice age island.

His goal was to create a portal that would allow its user to go to this dimension. It would be controlled by a remote that determined if the portal was open or closed.
At first, I didn’t believe it could be true, but to my surprise, he actually created the portal. That was when I realized I had a chance to escape. While he was asleep, I stole his weapons, a genetic food replicator, and the remote.

Now, I was in that world. Free from Baxter. I had everything I needed to survive. I had a food supply, weapons to defend myself, and I controlled the means by which Baxter could get here in the first place. It took him months of work and a million dollars in parts to build it. It would be a long time before he would be able to rebuild it, if he ever could.

Without that device, he had no control over me.

I looked around. The landscape resembled a jungle in South America or Africa. It was hot and humid.

A loud screeching sound caught my attention. Turning around, I saw…Pterosaurs! Living, breathing Pterosaurs!

I loved dinosaurs since I was little. I could identify them easily. They were Tropegnathus, medium sized Pterosaurs from the early cretaceous.

As I watched, I wondered what their life cycle was like. We still had so little knowledge of dinosaurs. We barely knew anything about them at all.

Then I heard something. A twig snap. In most periods of the Earth’s history, how I reacted to that sound meant the difference between life and death. It sounded small, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t deadly. Just look at Raptors or other small dinosaurs.

Running wasn’t an option. It exposed me to an attack from the rear. It also meant that I showed I was weak. No, I needed to stand and fight.

I unsheathed my sword, and turned to face my assailant. I pointed the weapon directly to the trees.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you mister.”

I froze.

That was the voice of a young human.

What the hell are they doing here?!

Something even more surprising soon revealed itself.

What walked out of the underbrush wasn’t a human, but a young Brontosaurus.

I blinked for a second.

“Did-did you just talk?!”

“Um yes.”

Everything went black.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Littlefoot looked at the human. Sure they had heard the stories, but to actually see a real human was considered unheard of, especially here. The human’s called it “The Great Western Continent”.

To most of the creatures who lived here, it was simply called home.

Granted, the various regions each had their own inhabitants, but humans were rarely seen here. According to Mr. Thicknose, a great human Empire dominated the continent hundreds of years ago, before it fell. It was called the Roman Empire, and apparently was a massive and influential group.

It unified the Dinosaur herds of the tropics, the Sabertooth packs to the north, and the Lion kingdoms of the south. Rome even extended its influence to the unknown world beyond the Big Water.

Now, however, only ruins of that great empire remained. Legend had it that a sharptooth rebellion led by a finback named Blackclaw conquered it. His domain was called the Dark Age by most of those after it finally fell with his death. But humanity was wiped from the continent, and no one knew what exactly happened.

Sure, explorers from across the sea had arrived intermittently, but that was considered rare. To find a human here was considered beyond rare.

“Guys, look at this!” Littlefoot cried.

His friends, Cera the Threehorn, Ducky the Swimmer, Petrie the Flyer, Spike the Spiketail, Chomper the Sharptooth, and Ruby the Fast Runner soon arrived.

“Is that a human?” Chomper asked. “I think so. I tried to talk to him but he fainted.” Littlefoot replied.

“Why? I thought humans were used to other groups talking?” Cera asked. “Maybe you just scared him Littlefoot?” Ducky suggested.

“I don’t know…” Littlefoot began. “I just tried to introduce myself. I don’t know what happened.”
“Well, we can’t just leave him. If we could, we would leave him.” Ruby commented. “Ruby right. Human might be able to help fight Redclaw.” Petrie suggested.

“Yeah, they have those fire sticks and silver claws.” Chomper agreed. “Fine. I guess the grownups would like to hear about this.” Littlefoot sighed.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I opened my eyes. And jumped back in surprise.

“What the hell?!” I cried. There were dinosaurs everywhere. What happened?!
I could count dozens of species, all herbivores, and all looking at me. One, a large Brontosaurus approached.

“We apologize human, we did not mean to startle you.”

“Wow, so you all really can talk?” I asked.

“Talk?! Why wouldn’t we be able to talk?” A Triceratops angrily asked.

“I meant no disrespect, sir.” I began, gritting my teeth. “Just where I come from, animals can’t talk.”

“Where you come from? Beyond the Big Water?” A Saurolophus asked. I was about to explain, but realized something. These were dinosaurs. No technology, all instinct. They couldn’t understand that I came from another dimension.

“Yes. Across the big water.” I replied.

“We haven’t seen a human here in years. My Grandfather said he saw a group here when he was a youngster.” The Brontosaurus stated. “Are you a Roman? A Spaniard? An Englishman?”

My jaw dropped. “How do you…”

“Everyone knows about humans. Tall, skinny, weak. Yet somehow, they use their firesticks and silver claws to rule everyone else. There was a great human herd that lived in this very valley a long time ago. We have a former settlement on the eastern side.” The Triceratops stated.

Roman?! Settlement?! Firesticks?!

What in the hell was going on here?!

I shook my head.

“So there are humans here?” I asked.

“Not anymore. Not for a hundred cold times.” The Brontosaurus replied. “None of us know about any humans on the continent. Not since the Romans fell. We’ve had explorers, yes. There was this man called Colombus who arrived in the south, and another named Drake in the north. But nothing else.”

I looked down. It sounded like the whole world’s past, present, and future were indeed all here.
And I was still free from Baxter, so maybe I could work with this.

“I was part of another explorer, by a guy named Balboa. I ran away.” I lied. “Do you mind if I stay here?”
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 The dinosaurs began speaking amongst themselves. They were discussing about whether or not to let me stay. I waited patiently for them to make their decision.

“Um, excuse me Mr. Human?”

I looked behind me, and saw a group of young dinosaurs was looking at me. Among them was the young Brontosaurus. In addition, I could see various other species. A Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Saurolophus, Pteranodon, Oviraptor, and even a young Tyrannosaurus.

“Um, sure.” I replied.

“Sorry for scaring you earlier.” The young Brontosaurus apologized. “Its fine. I guess. I just wasn’t prepared for that.” I replied. I looked around the place I was in.

It was beautiful. I could see vast green plains of grass and in the distance, dense tropical rainforests. Behind those, vast mountains. I was in some sort of valley.

“Beautiful place you have here.” I commented. “Yeah, it’s called the Great Valley. It’s a place where we can live without worrying about sharpteeth.” The Triceratops stated.

“Sharpteeth?” I asked.

“Um…”

I turned. The group looked nervous. “Well, you know, carnivores.” The baby T-rex said sheepishly.
I nodded. It made sense. Most predators did have sharp teeth.

But it didn’t make sense ecologically. Where there were no predators, the herbivores would usually overpopulate and die.

“What’s your name anyway?”

That brought me back to my thoughts. “Jack. Jack Anderson.” I replied.

“I’m Littlefoot. This is Cera.” The Brontosaurus gestured to the Triceratops. “Ducky.” To the Saurolophus. “Petrie.” To the Pteranodon. “Spike.” To the Stegosaurus. “Ruby.” To the Oviraptor. “And this is Chomper.” Littlefoot gestured to the Tyrannosaurus.

“Nice to meet you all.” I replied with a smile.

“Where do you come from? England? France? Spain?” Ducky asked.

How did they know all these places?

“Um, England.” I replied. My family’s ancestry was mostly from Northern England and Germany.

“Cool. What’s going on? Are they still attacking France?”

Jeez. What was going on here? How were these places connected?

“Um, no. They signed a peace treaty. Now they’re fighting the Spanish.” I replied. I had no idea what was going on in this version of Europe, so I was just spit balling pretty much.

I looked down for a second.

“Do you have a fire stick? Or a silver claw?” Chomper asked.

I guessed they meant guns or swords.

“Um sure.” I pulled out my sword and activated it. “Woah! I never heard of one like that!” Littlefoot said in surprise.

“My…uncle had a lot of unusual things.” I replied. To call Baxter my uncle was like saying something horrible. It didn’t sit well with me at all.

“This is my rifle. That’s what we humans call a fire stick. We call silver claws swords.” I showed them my rifle.

“Excuse me. But we have made our decision.” The Brontosaurus walked over.

“We’ve decided you can stay. You are free to eat any of the tree sweets you wish. But you can’t hunt anything alive. We know some humans like to hunt others for sport.” The Triceratops looked at me suspiciously.

I nodded vigorously. I abhorred hunting. That wouldn’t be a problem. I was too squeamish to hurt another living thing.

A/N: So there’s the first chapter. I hope you enjoyed it. Also, humans will play a major role later in the story. This takes place roughly in the mid-1700s era equivalent. So there may be some historical figures that make an appearance. Any questions? Concerns? Ideas? Please let me know. Until next time!

Didn't they evolve into birds?

Birds are the closest living relatives (or outright descendents of theropods).

That said, what genre are you planning on writing?

Grammarwise, put spaces between your paragraphs.

Mostly adventure. This was just the description of it so people could have a reference in case they got confused. However, its more or less a series of short stories. I will have the first one up in a little while.
Also, if anyone has suggestions for what people might call these animals, please let me know. No real dinosaur names, however, so no "don" or "saurus" in the names.
I already have one name for the descendants of Tyrannosaurus, the Tiger Dragon. Oh, and like Dr. Grant said in my favorite dinosaur movie, some species, but not all, evolved along those lines. Also, to my knowledge, birds had already evolved by the end of the dinosaur era.

What I find puzzling is where does the First Order get their stuff from?  I could understand if they were using old Imperial tech but the Resurgent class star destroyer they were using is stated to be twice the size of an old Imperial star destroyer and far more powerful.    The First Order is basically a terrorist organization, not an intergalactic governing body.  They don't have the resources that the Empire had so how the heck did they get a bunch of brand new top-of-the-line star destroyers?.  It's not like they can just place an order with a shipyard. Is there a super villain Amazon.com or something?

In universe explanation, the First Order grew unchecked between the Battle of Endor and the Destruction of Hosnian Prime. Look at how Germany recovered in the twenty years after World War I and conquered Europe to the point of threatening Moscow, conquering Paris, and terrorizing England.
Out of universe explanation is simple. We want our big bads to look like big bads, and the new big bad has to be better then the last one.

I know that, I loved the expanded universe, but still, and this was a complaint I had about the EU to, sorry I hadn't made that clear. I just find it quite depressing that the First Order, like the Yuuzhan Vong, Thrawn, and the returned Emperor, destroyed the republic. Though hopefully the new Republic fleet bounces back and joins with the resistance against the First Order. That couldn't have been the only fleet they had.
Again, sorry about not making it clear about my complaint. I should have titled it why the rebels shouldn't really be celebrating as much in episode 6.

Hello everyone. I know I haven't been very active lately, so I decided to remedy that with a new post. I was writing this, and I did a lot of research on the politics of the time period, and decided to write this. I would like a critique of it if anyone wants to say anything. Constructive criticism is appreciated.

Hell on Earth
Hellfire(1861-1862)
Europe watches as the American Civil War flares into existence with the Battle of Fort Sumter. While initially, Britain remains neutral, an incident known as the Trent Affair erupts.
The British, after demands to the Americans that the Confederate diplomats be released on the grounds that they are on a neutral ship, and that the US recognize British rights to trade with the Confederacy.
Lincoln attempts to defuse the situation, however a skirmish between Canadian militia and Union troops results in deaths on both sides on November 9th, 1861. The enraged Northern public rallies behind a war with Britain for the "Invasion".
Lincoln, under pressure from Congress, declares war on Britain, and calls for an army to a million troops. US forces under General Ullyses S. Grant are transferred from Kentucky to the border.
After a Canadian raid on December 3rd, Grant moves his 15,000 men into Canada, and seizes the Niagara Falls area in revenge. After routing the militia there, he presses northward. By January 4th, 1861, Grant takes Ottawa.
The British respond by dispatching 100,000 troops to Canada. In the west, the French, without a declaration of war or provocation, invade California, shelling Los Angeles by sea, and invading on the ground.
As the war intensifies, Tsar Alexander of Russia, remembering his country's defeat in the Crimean War just a few years earlier, decides to retaliate. The Russian Army attacks the Ottoman Empire on two fronts, the Balkans, and the Caucasus, on March 13th.
The invasion results in an official declaration of war on Russia by Britain and France just days later. As European armies mobilize for renewed war, the other great powers of Europe seek opportunities of their own. Seeing an opportunity to gain power and prestige for Prussia, Otto Von Bismarck announces his support for Russia, and invades Denmark, and via the Rhineland, invades Alsace-Lorraine.
While the war breaks out in Europe, Grant begins another offensive, hoping to reach Hudson Bay, and cut Canada in to. However, he realizes he may need reinforcements for this.
However, before he can advance, a British Army marches to meet him under the command of Sir James Simpson, veteran of the Crimean War. He attacks Grant just north of Ottawa on April 4th. At the same time, Confederate forces under General Albert Sidney Johnston launch an invasion of Kentucky to avenge their defeat at Mill Springs.
In addition to this, the Union army is slow in moving south to Richmond. Due to the rampaging French in California and the fortification of Manassas Junction by Joseph E. Johnston, supreme Commander of the Union army George B. McClellan decides mainly to fortify the Union's positions near Canada rather then wage war on the Confederacy.
In the west, General Sibley of the Confederacy invades the Union New Mexico Territory. He is joined by a second French army, and the two defeat a Union force at Glorieta Pass.
The arrival of the French leads the Union commander in the west, John C. Fremont, to organize a defense near Los Angeles. There, Confederate forces, joined by reinforcements from Arizona attempt to encircle and surround the city while French soldiers launch an amphibious landing.
Fremont commands his troops in a desperate fight, though is killed in battle by a Confederate sniper. A new Union officer, George Armstrong Custer, retaliates with ferocious counter attacks on the Confederates.
After these fail to gain much ground, Custer digs trenches, and rather then retreat from the city, fights directly inside, using buildings to snipe at the Confederates. By summer, with fighting raging in Southern Canada and California, Lincoln orders the Union army to mount offensive operations along the whole front.
As this goes on, the Prussian invasion of France is checked at Strasbourg. There, the French army under Napoleon III drives the Prussians out.
In the east, the Russians campaigns against the Ottomans stall as well. Confederate officer Alfred Von Schlieffen however wins a huge victory over French troops in the Saar, where he is reinforced by General Moltke. By this point, with the war on their doorstep, the German states choose sides.
Austria and the southern states intervene in the conflict on the side of France, hoping that toleration of the French will prevent a repeat of the Napoleonic wars. Austrian forces invade Silesia, while Denmark invades Prussia proper. Only the arrival of Russian forces prevents a Prussian collapse.
On the other side of the world. Grant finally outmaneuvers Simpson and cuts his army off near the Hudson Bay. There, he gains reinforcements from a new Union commander, William T. Sherman. The two shatter the British army, and destroy it.
Inspired by Grant's victory and Fremont's tenacious resistance in Los Angeles, Lincoln reinstates Irvin McDowell as commander of the Army of the Potomac, and orders it into Virginia.
McDowell attacks through the Shenandoah Valley, where General Robert E. Lee is stationed after Thomas Jackson is killed at the end of his Valley Campaign. Lee out flanks McDowell and invades Maryland. McDowell moves north and prevents Lee's capture of Washington at the Battle of Sharpsburg, but is forced to retreat to Washington, only weakening Lee's army.
With Lee occupying a sliver of Northern Territory, Johnston moves north to join him. He meets with General Lee near Sharpsburg. The two argue about how to use their armies, and eventually Davis, tired of slow Confederate progress, approves a plan to march north into Pennsylvania and capture Philadelphia. Lee is given command of both Johnston's Army of the Potomac and his own Army of the Shenandoah. He combines them into the Army of Maryland, and after Johnston refuses an offer to command the I Corps, names Longstreet and Beauregard his corps commanders.
Lee marches north rapidly, engaging McDowell in a series of battles at South Mountain, Camp Hill, Chambersburg, and Gettysburg. After seizing the high ground, Lee's army routs McDowell's Army of the Potomac. The Army of the Potomac retreats, and leaves Washington open. A British landing on the east coast of Maryland results in the capture of Washington, though the Union government is able to escape, and flees to New York.
The British army however focuses mainly on Canada, and engages Grant at the battle of Hudson Bay. There Grant again defeats the British Army, and moves east, into Quebec.
As the war drags into the fall of 1862, the French finally abandon the siege of Los Angeles, and retreat. Without their support, the Confederates retreat back towards San Diego and San Bernadino.
In Europe, Prussia and Russia defeat the Dano-French army near Berlin and the Austrian Army at Hohenfriedburg. These victories, combined with a Russian victory at Sevastapool over the British Navy, keep the newly formed Alliance of the United States, the Russian Empire, and the Kingdom of Prussia in the war. But victory is not near, the war will drag on far longer.

Walk in Hell(1863-1864)
The war drags into 1863. A disastrous Confederate defeat at Pittsburg checks the Anglo-Confederate advance. But the victory is short lived. Confederate weapons are smuggled north to supply the Confederate Army of Maryland.
In Kentucky, Albert Sidney Johnston reaches the Ohio River. Under pressure from Lee, he attacks Cincinnati on January 14th, and captures it. In Canada, Grant is defeated by the Canadians on the Plains of Abraham. He retreats back to the Hudson Bay.
The siege of Washington D.C ends, and the capital surrenders. Lincoln and his party suffer massive losses in the Mid Term elections. In California, Custer builds up his troops for a major push against the Confederates.
The fighting drags on, and Union forces repel a French attack on Denver, though at great cost.
On March 1st, 1863, the Union Monitor and British Warrior clash along the Hudson River. The Warrior sinks the Monitor, but the attempt by British marines to take New York City fails spectacularly. General Don Carlos Buell is ordered to hold the line at all costs, and does so, winning a great victory for the Union.
As the fighting continues, Lincoln orders a Levee en Masse of every able bodied male in the country to take up arms and fight the invading armies back. "The Union may no longer be preserved, but it must not be destroyed!" He declares.
As the North enters a state of Total War, Grant is called south to replace McClellan as Commander in chief of the Union Army.
With over a million more men joining the army, Grant devises a multi pronged strategy to hit the Confederates and their allies from all directions. The Army of the Susquehanna, the successor to the Army of the Potomac, is to retake Philadelphia, while the Army of Canada under Sherman is to take Quebec. Don Carlos Buell is to join his Army of New York with Sherman in an invasion of Quebec from the south. In the west, Custer is to drive the Confederates from California.
In Europe, the Prussians are forced to pause as they recover from the casualties at Berlin. By now, Bismarck has become convinced that the Dano-Austro-French invasion could be used as a tool to rally the German states behind Prussia. Austria would allow a fellow German state to be conquered, and would do the same to any one other.
His speech, called the Unification speech, is done to challenge the German states on who their loyalty should be to? Austria, which tried to conquer it in the 30 Years War and let's France rampage unopposed through Germany, or Prussia, a beacon of freedom in the eyes of the Germans? He declares that if Germany was to survive the war, it would need to unite.
The result was startling. Bavaria and Saxony throw their support to Prussia, followed by many others. They declare war on France and Austria. The Russians meanwhile abandon their costly advances against the Ottomans, and focus their efforts on the Crimea, which is under attack by the British navy and Ottoman Army.
As fighting intensifies, the cost grows ever higher. Women serve as nurses, and children in the factories. The North nevertheless struggles to fight a war on three fronts, and it's attacks on its enemies are slow.
The plan by Grant finally pushes the Confederates out of San Bernadino. But they retreat with the French into the far southern areas of California. In Canada, Sherman besieges Quebec, while Grant takes command of the Union Army, and besieges Philadelphia.
The Union army under Don Carlos Buell wins a major victory in New Brunswick, and drives further north.
As 1864 begins, both sides continue to fight on, trying to win the war, but as the war drifts into stalemate, the prospects of victory seem dim. Lincoln remarks to his Secretary of State "The war to preserve the Union cannot be won, but perhaps the war to preserve the independence of it can be maintained." Lincoln, in an attempt to score a political victory, agrees to recognize the Confederacy, but declares that as they have invaded the north, that the Union is the one who is on the defensive. It declares Britain, France, Austria, the Confederacy, and any nation who side with them aggressors in the conflict, and that the Union, Prussia, and Russia are simply defending themselves.
Lincoln's speech inspires the north. Hundreds of thousands are sent to the front line, and over a million more are drafted. The largest army in history, over three million men now, is assembled. The Union launches enormous offensives against its enemies on all fronts.
By May, 1864, however, the American people are tired of the war. Calls for peace ring out, and culminate in riots in Boston. The American navy is unable to prevent the British from blockading their ports, and the northern states are in a state of shock.
Then the impossible happens. Philadelphia is finally liberated, and Lee is defeated. The Confederates retreat into Maryland, and after the 2nd Battle of Chambersburg, retreat into Virginia. Along the Ohio River, Albert Sidney Johnston falls back after Union troops under George Thomas push him out of Cincinnati.
In California, Custer cuts the Franco-Confederate army off at San Diego, and besieges it. In Canada, Sherman breaks through and takes Quebec. Finally, by September, the Union army has defeated the Confederates and pushed them into the Confederacy.
At the same time, the German states under Prussia and Russia drive the French out of northern Germany and the Austrians from Silesia. They then press southward. The French are defeated at Frankfurt and then along the Rhine at Remagen. The Russians break through the Ottoman lines along the Caucasus and invade the Ottoman Empire proper, while in the Balkans, they are joined by Greece in an invasion of Romania.
The fighting continues into the winter, though by this point, the combatants are spent. The Union advance into Virginia is checked at the Third Battle of Manassas, and the Union army returns to Washington D.C.
Lincoln is assassinated just before the election, and his Vice President Hannibal Hamlin takes over. However, he is defeated by the Peace Democrats under Clement Vallandigham. He calls for peace with the Confederacy, and ending the war.
The Union public yearns for peace, and on January 1st, 1865, the warring parties meet at the same place the War began, Charleston South Carolina.
There, they negotiate the terms of peace. Eventually, the terms are as follows; the Confederacy is recognized as independent, with referendums in Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland, and Delaware. The Union agrees to respect French domination of Mexico in exchange for their recognition of Union control of California. In addition, the American public agrees to withdraw from Canada, in exchange for QuÈbÈcois independence.
In Europe, Prussia defeats the French Army on the Rhine and captures the Rhineland, and declares the German Empire on April 1st, 1865. Austria concedes to recognize Prussian domination of Germany in exchange for Prussian promises to respect Austrian territory in Bohemia, and the Balkans.
Russia annexes all of the Caucasus, and is recognized as controller of the Crimea. In Britain, an agreement is made to recognize German control of Hanover.
With the negotiation over, the warring parties officially sign the peace agreement on April 12th, 1865. The Treaty of Richmond, as it is called, end past the war on the four year anniversary of the war's beginning.
Out of Hell(1865)
The American Civil War, has ended, but casualties, destruction, and conflict have changed the face of the world. At the cost of almost three million deaths, of which 1 million were Northerners, is a devastating blow. In addition, the North American and European continents are war ravaged, and many believe that it's only a matter of time until the next war begins. Otto Von Bismarck decides that it is necessary to prevent war from breaking out again. He forms the Triple Alliance, consisting of the United States, the Russian Empire, and the German Empire. In response, Britain, France, the Confederacy, the Ottoman Empire, and Austria from the League of Strasbourg. The seeds of another epic war are laid.

Hello all! This is a recent fan fiction I've been working on. It takes place during the first movie, though is altered heavily, though the plot stays the same. I warn you that this scene has some character deaths mentioned. Also, one of the brothers is a fan character, while the other I got from another movie, cookies to whoever recognizes that character.
So, without further ado, I give you Journey of Two Brothers
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 1: Strangers in a Strange Land

I opened my eyes. And to my surprise, it was different. For once, one of Valens' twisted experiments worked. We were sent back in time. "Uh, my head." My twin brother, Owen groaned. I turned, and to my surprise, instead of my brother, a raptor was there.

Orange, with black stripes, the raptor was large, larger then a Deinonychus yet smaller then a Utahraptor. Maybe it was some new species. "Owen?" I asked. The raptor turned, and looked at me.

"Jack?" He asked. "You're...you're a T-Rex man!"

What?!

I tried to get up, but couldn't. So I rolled on my back, and got a good look at my arms. They were tiny, and clawed. Running over to the nearest puddle of water, I looked in. I was a freaking Tyrannosaurus Rex.

"Wow man. You okay?" Owen asked. I turned. "Are you? You seem to be taking being a raptor remarkably well." I commented. "What?! Me to?" Owen asked, looking down. Then he looked back up, his eyes wide.

"Jack, Valens actually succeeded at doing something."

I chuckled a little at the overly serious way my brother said that. "I wonder if we can change back." I commented. "Think human thoughts." Owen chuckled. I closed my eyes, and thought about being a human again.

"Holy shit!"

I opened my eyes. I was back in my human form. I then thought about being a T-Rex again. When I opened my eyes, I was back to my new form. "Wow." Owen breathed.

"You try." I said. Owen closed his eyes, and changed into his human self. My god, we could switch between forms.

"So Valens' twisted idea of injecting dinosaur DNA worked?" I asked. Valens always loved dinosaurs, and was always looking for a way to bring them back. His latest idea was to inject us with DNA, then using that DNA, he would clone them.

It didn't work, until he found a strange power circuit. Using that, he built a time machine. He sent us in to collect dinosaur eggs for research. But now I had other ideas.

"You know, this could be good for us. If we lived here instead of with Valens." I suggested. Owen thought for a second. "What about TV? And video games?" He asked. "We could go back, kill Valens, and take all his stuff over here. Including the portal generator. We could then come back here, and we all live happily ever after as kings of the world." I said the last part with a fake smile.

Owen shook his head in amusement. "Yeah, phase 123 of your plan to take over the world."

"Phase 122.5! That incident in Alaska doesn't count!"

After a little while, we returned. But Valens was nowhere to be seen. So, we took everything. His DNA sequencers, his laser weapons, his holo projectors. We took them all. That way his big pay day in Russia wouldn't happen. And hopefully, neither would World War III.

After moving everything into our world, including the substance replicator(which we would use for FOOD and WATER! WE'RE NOT DRUG ADDICTS!), we began to explore our world. After putting everything in a hypercube(pocket sized storage device that can hide a 100 foot tall, long, and wide amount of storage), we changed into our dinosaur forms, and began to explore.

The area we apparently moved to was desolate. Dry, leafless forests of broken trees and desert plains dominated the area. We could see some mountains in the distance, so we decided to head in that direction.

However, while we moved, I heard something. Crying. Soft sobbing, like a child who was lost. "Do you hear that?" Owen asked. I nodded. Did some other human enter this time before us?

We had to see. Shifting into our human forms, and grabbing laser rifles, we began heading towards the source of the sound.

We reached a clearing, and saw something depressing. A baby Apatosaurus was lying next to its mother. And judging by the wounds on her back, she had been killed. Most likely by a very large predator.

The baby looked up, and eyed us nervously. "It's okay kid, we're not going to hurt you." Owen said, holding up his hands to try and show he was friendly. "My mother, she won't get up."

We paused. We had suspected this when we first saw the little guy, but it seemed we were right. So dinosaurs could talk. If that was true, could all animals talk? I was interested in finding out.

"Please help me!"

We were snapped out of our thoughts, and moved over. I got out a vital signs reader, and checked it. Nothing. The Apatosaurus was dead. "I'm sorry kid. But..." I couldn't bring myself to say it.

"It's not fair! She should have known better! That was Sharptooth! It's all her fault."

"All whose fault?" Owen asked. "Mothers!"

I looked down. "It's okay kid, we know what you're going through." I sighed, sitting down next to him. "She said I needed to find the Great Valley, but I don't know where, or how...Why did I have to go so far from home?"

"Kid, don't worry, me and my brother will help you find this Valley." Owen assured him. "Really?"

I nodded. "Don't worry kid, you're safe with us." I vowed. "Thanks! Um, I'm Littlefoot."

"Jack Grady, and this is my brother Owen." I introduced.

Littlefoot looked at us strangely. "Human thing, just call us Jack and Owen." I said. "Oh, okay, thanks Jack! Thanks Owen!"

After a little movement through the forest, we came upon a forest. And in it, a small Saurolophus hatchling was swimming. "Hello!" She called. "Um, hi." I replied, with a slight smile.

"What is with baby dinosaurs being all alone around here, don't you guys have families?" Owen asked her. "Well, I am all alone." The Saurolophus said sadly. "I lost my family in the big earthshake."

So an earthquake happened which must have separated a number of baby dinosaurs from their families. "What happened?" I asked slowly. "Me and my family were playing in the water, and this earthshake suddenly began shaking. A crack opened, and my mommy and daddy fell in." She began to cry.

I looked down. This was to much. I guess that earthquake took its toll here. And someone needed to look out for the survivors. "You want to come with us? We're going to the Great Valley." Littlefoot offered.

"Yes! Oh I mean yes. I would like to go! I do. I do." The little one cried happily. "Okay, Littlefoot, where did your mom say we should go?" I asked. "She said to follow the great circle, past the rock that looks like a longneck, and past the mountains that burn." Littlefoot replied.

"Alright, let's go." Owen pointed to the mountains in the distance. Smoke was coming out of them. I guess we needed to go past that.

After a little further trekking, we stopped for some lunch. Littlefoot and the little hadrosaur, who we found out was named Ducky, tried to eat a tree. Me and Owen got out some sandwiches.

"WOW!" A squeaky voice cried. Apparently a little Pteranodon was perched on the leaves Littlefoot tried to eat, and when Littlefoot bit down, he pulled the Pteranodon with him.

He landed right on my head. I pulled him off my hair and set him down. "Who are you?" Ducky asked in interest. "Me name Petrie." The little Pteranodon said nervously. "Petrie huh? Funny name." Ducky commented.

"I-I flied?"

"No, you falled!" Ducky replied. "I fall?! Oh!"

"But you're a flyer, not a faller." Littlefoot pointed out. "Hard thing to fly." Petrie growled, and tried to flap his wings, but couldn't get more then a foot off the ground. "I guess it is, we can't do it." Littlefoot laughed.

"No we can't do that alright."

"You okay Petrie?" I asked. "NO! Me family flew off during earthshake and leave Petrie alone! Oh!" Petrie cried sadly. Me and Owen looked at eachother, and nodded.

"Well, if you want to stay with us, you're more then welcome to." Owen offered.

"Me can stay? Oh thank you! Petrie already like you!" Petrie declared, hugging my head.

I chuckled under my breath. Then something interesting happened. I heard a noise. A loud whimpering howl. Suddenly, my instincts told me to respond to it. "Stay here." I said.

"Hey Jack, what's wrong with your skin?" Littlefoot asked. I looked down. It was going green. Oh no.

Suddenly, I shot into the air twelve feet, and was the size of a full grown T-Rex. Great, apparently that triggered something in my subconscious. "Sh-sh-"

"Guys, it's okay, it's still me." I said turning around. I thought about being a human again. I was back to human form.

"You can become a sharptooth?" Littlefoot asked. I nodded sadly. "It was something this guy did to me that caused it. We can barely control it." I explained. "We?" Ducky asked.

"Yeah, Owen can become a raptor." I replied. I nodded. Owen turned into a raptor. "Wow." They breathed. "And you can switch back?"

We nodded. "You don't want to eat us do you?" Petrie asked nervously. We shook our heads. "We have this thing that can clone food, we just need to find some leaves for you guys, and we can feed you." I replied.

"Cool." They said. The howl shot out again, this time louder. "I'll be back." I said, shifting back into my dinosaur form and heading in the direction of the howl. When I got there, I saw a baby T-Rex wandering through the woods.

He was dark blue, with red eyes, and a white underbelly. He was only a foot long. He let out a howl again. "It's okay little guy." I said slowly. He turned and looked at me. Then he ran up to me and squeaked happily.

He seemed to be just an infant, barely a day or two old. He would be incapable of surviving on his own. I guess we had another member joining us. "Do you have a name little guy?" I asked.

He saw a dragon fly, and chomped into it. That was it! "How do you like Chomper?" I asked. The T-Rex now named Chomper cooed happily at that. I saw a fold of skin on the back of his neck, like a cat or dog's. I bent down, and picked him gently up.

He didn't make any noise or complaint, so I put him on my back, and began heading to the group.

"What was it?" Owen asked. I gestured to the tiny baby T-Rex on my back. "Wow, how many dinosaurs were in this area?" Owen asked. "There was a bunch of herds, including my parents and Ducky and Petrie's herds." Littlefoot replied.

"So there must be more kids out there alone." Owen surmised. "Yeah, we'll be on the lookout for them." I decided.

After a little while, we continued to move westward. "Hey, it's Cera!" Littlefoot called, pointing to a yellow Triceratops a little ways away. "Cera, it's me Littlefoot, do you want to..."

Littlefoot paused. Cera was crying. "Littlefoot, my parents...they're gone!"

I looked at Owen. Looks like we had another dinosaur in our group. "It was Sharptooth, he killed them!"

"What?! But Sharptooth fell into the big underground." Littlefoot protested. "He's alive, I was with my mom and dad, and he suddenly appeared. He killed my dad and attacked my mom. She told me to run."

"I can't believe it, that monster's still alive." Littlefoot growled. Chomper squeaked nervously. Apparently even this Sharptooth scared carnivores. "Don't worry, he won't harm any of you while I'm around." I vowed.

The kids looked at me. "I promise. I promised to take care of you. I will make sure I do that. If Sharptooth ever shows his face near us, I will make sure he can't harm you ever again."

Hello so this is a fan fiction I'm writing about Chomper. Please read and review. I would really like constructive criticism. Thanks!

Chapter 1: Captured

Chomper ran through the grass, laughing. He and his friends were playing hide and seek. He was enjoying it so much. He loved having friends who actually accepted him, unlike the rest of the valley, which just shunned him.
Then he saw something strange. In a dark cave, there was a glow. Interested, he moved deeper in. A great light was there, swirling and glowing. It was beautiful. Then, as if an act of fate, the ground began to shake.
The shaking ground caused a large rock to fall. Leaping out of the way, he inadvertently ran into the light.
He awoke to find himself in a jungle. Alone. He turned back around, to see...nothing. The light was gone. It vanished. That meant...he was trapped.
"Hello?" He asked. No answer. "Hello?" He repeated. Still nothing. "Guys? Littlefoot? Cera?"
Where was he?
Then he heard something. A bleating. It was so alien. He had never heard anything like it. Then he saw what had uttered that sound. A large fuzzy, about twice his size.
Then a light dropped next to him. The ground began to shake. Turning, he saw the biggest sharptooth he had ever seen.
She was absolutely enormous. Bigger then Redclaw. Her body was covered in scars Chomper guessed were from numerous battles. The titanic Rex turned to Chomper, and their eyes locked.
With a whimper Chomper began to back up. "I thought I was alone here?" She asked. Her voice was deep, commanding, deadly. Like Mr. Three horn, only much, much more deadly. She commanded a lethal respect.
"You're not going to eat me?" Chomper asked meekly. The Tyrannosaur rolled her eyes. "I am no cannibal." She said as if Chomper should have guessed that. "Where am I?"
"Where are you?! After all these years, I never knew one dinosaur that didn't know what this prison was. Seriously, you were born here you should know where we are!" The Tyrannosaur growled.
"I honestly don't know, I just got here. I'm sorry, please don't hurt me!" Chomper began to cry. The Tyrannosaur sighed under her breath. This was why she hated hatchlings. They were so annoying.
Suddenly, she felt the all to familiar tranquilizer dart in her neck. She knew what that meant. Within a matter of minutes, she was asleep.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Chomper woke up in a bright white cave. "Where am I?" He asked. Then he saw his arm. It was longer, more muscular, but most surprisingly, it was white. Bone white.
What had happened to him. Then he saw some strange creatures rush in. They grabbed him, examined him, stuck him with needles. It hurt so much.
It was so scary. So Chomper did what any creature would. He fought back. He snapped, he clawed. But it was all in vain. Finally, it ended, and he was placed in a crate.
That just made it scarier. The darkness was terrifying. Finally, the crate opened in another jungle. Only this time, he was completely and utterly alone.
The years passed. Years of solitude. Years of silence. Years of abandonment. He would sometimes go weeks without seeing any living thing. The only positive relationship he had was a strange branch that gave him food.
That was it. Nothing to talk to. Nothing to see. He was alone. Alone with his thoughts. In those years, the innocent little T-Rex died, and a bitter, cruel new dinosaur was born. He had lost everything. His friends, his home, his family. He was trapped in a small valley, with nothing.
In the time since he had come here, he could no longer hunt insects. He had come to eat exclusively meat. With that, came the urge to hunt. The urge to kill. The urge to rip.
But as he grew, he learned he had new abilities. Thanks to those pathetic creatures, he had gained the ability to hide in plain sight, the ability to lower his temperature. Over time, he learned how humans worked. And slowly, a plan developed.
One day, he clawed up the wall, and made it look like he climbed out. He lowered his temperature, and camouflaged. He waited.
Naturally, the humans fell for it. When they figured out he was fooling them, they ran. But it was to late.
He leapt in front of two of them. As the prospect of hunting live food again finally came true, he felt overcome by something. Hatred. Hatred against the humans, hatred against the friends who seemingly abandoned him, hatred against the world.
Oh when he was free, the world would burn!
With a cry of sadistic joy, heard to the humans as a roar, Chomper lunged. The two ran. But one wasn't fast enough. With glee, he grabbed the poor soul who lagged behind. He tore him to pieces, reveling in the bloodshed and brutality.
Finally, revenge.
The other one had another smell about him though. Fast Biters. He could use allies. He would capture this human, and use it to lead him to them, then he would establish himself as alpha.
He would lead the carnivores of this island to freedom from those wretched humans.
With a roar, he grabbed the human. To his surprise, he felt pain. But he didn't drop the human. Apparently, they had a hidden weapon.
After smashing through the now open door, he examined the human. This was the first time he had seen them up close. Gently, he looked over the human. The human attempted to stab him again, but Chomper saw it coming, grabbed the strange little tooth, and threw it away.
He had heard the humans speak, and had picked up the language. He knew raptor was human for fast biter. "Take me to raptors!" He said. The human stopped. This thing could talk?!
"You can talk?!" The human cried. Chomper smiled evilly. "Everything can talk, but apparently your arrogant species doesn't know that! Now take to your raptors! Grady!"
"How do you know me?" The human asked. "I heard that red bitch say your name, now, where are your raptors?" Chomper said the last part slowly.
"Put me down, and I'll show you." The human said. "If I do, you'll run!" Chomper pointed out. "Then you would catch me, why should I risk my life like that?"
Chomper saw his point.
"Fine, but if you run, I will destroy everything in my path! Including your raptors! Remember that!" Chomper snarled.
Chomper threw the human to the ground. "Well, show me worm!" Chomper snarled. Owen looked up, and slowly began to walk in the direction of the raptors.
