Chaos Theory
Characters: Riku, Amaterasu and Perry the Platypus!
Content: Riku gets curious about the time machine, and tests it out as a scout, only to find he needs a rescue!
Location: Utah, 126 mya, Barremian stage of the early Cretaceous
Time of Day: Morning
Warnings: Acrocanthosaurus, a dead Astrodon, a large pack of Utahraptors and TL;DR
Notes: I have dinosaur books! I don’t expect this to be scientifically accurate, but I can answer questions!
Riku stepped out from the time machine, shielding his eyes from the early morning sun. What he was doing was risky, and he knew it. Still, if anyone was going to do this, it was best to have a scout. The teen was curious anyway. As such, he'd looked up when to travel to. He'd grabbed a sword and knife at least, making sure they were both sharpened and as well-balanced as any from the weapon's deck. It would be the ultimate test of his skills, if he had to use that sword.
The air was hot, and he felt like he was drowning in the humidity. The air seemed still. Riku removed his white vest, leaving it in the time machine. A strip of leather tied back his hair, keeping him cooler and making it less likely his hair would be snagged by the thick undergrowth. As he moved outward, he used the knife to peel bark and mark the trees, ensuring he could find his way back.
Something large was rushing through the undergrowth... No, several creatures! Riku got down low, hiding under a giant fern. Several large meat-eaters came through, each marked like green tigers, save for a streak of bright red above their eyes. They weren't interested in Riku, leaving the young man to wonder what they were. They weren't Tyrannosaurus Rex, they had too many fingers and weren't large enough, either. They also had a thick ridge down their backs, though from his viewpoint, it was hard to tell if it was a small fin or if it was covered in flesh. They didn't look like Spinosaurus, either. Spinosaurs had thin snouts. "Maybe Allosaurus?" Riku guessed with doubt, and incorrectly. Regardless, he stared after them in awe. Kairi was going to kill him. That much was obvious. And Sora HAD to see this.
Not much further was a glade, and an amazing sight. In the middle of it was a downed long-necked dinosaur, and all around it, a huge pack of raptors! Riku smirked. No other way to describe it. this was just cool. The pack was feasting upon heir kill. These couldn’t be velociraptors. They were way too big! Still, they were raptors all right. Covered in slate gray feathers and with rust-colored wings, it was still impossible to mistake that killing claw.
The wind shifted. Riku thought little of it until a raptor chick sniffed at the air and began to chirp loudly, alerting the others. ...They were downwind of him. Riku began to back away, but he saw bright blue and green crests raise along their necks, and they chittered. One began to move forward, a scout Riku guessed. The boy ran!
Riku rushed towards the time machine, but he had some ground to cover. He stopped abruptly at movement up ahead. He ducked down, drawing his sword and using the undergrowth for cover. There it was. A raptor stood, occasionally flaring a bright blue crest, looking off somewhere. It was waiting for him. He noted dully that it was brighter than the ones with green crests, much like male birds are brighter... Riku raised his sword a little, only to feel it shift and hiss a little in his grasp, a few bits of light illuminating the shadows he hid in. The weight in his hands was familiar.
He didn’t need to look over to see what happened. He was more focused on the fact the raptor was looking right at him. Regardless, he couldn’t be more thankful for Way to the Dawn right now. If he could take out the scout, he’d be home free. But why wasn’t it moving?
And to his left another head appeared, flashing a bright green crest with a hiss.
“...Clever girl.”
Riku immediately found claws coming at his face.

But, it was clear that this was something Riku was struggling with, even if he was past the worst of it. He was afraid that she'd reject him or fear him for this darkness. And true, she was cautious, but not untrusting. But how to show that to Riku?
Amaterasu thought for a moment, then figured she'd use another one of her brushes to show that. She looked up towards the sky, brought up her canvas, and painted a crescent moon up in the sky. The world responded again--it became night instantly, with a bright moon replacing the sun.
She nodded up to the newly-formed crescent moon. Even at night, in the darkness, you could still see the moon's light. Both the sun and moon were needed to give light throughout time...maybe, she could suggest that his was more like the moon.
no subject
He didn't understand entirely, but he made his own conclusions, pausing a moment to collect his thoughts. ...It wasn't that she had powers over darkness. He could sense that much. It was more a difference in light. after all, the lack of light was darkness. Still, there was moonlight. As Kairi had passed along from her grandmother, "Even in the greatest darkness, there is light." Was this what she was saying?
"So you're at least familiar with darkness. ...Are you saying there's light in every darkness?" he ventured.

Perry looked up at the sky as Angel indicated it. Wow. There sure were a billion more stars up there than he remembered. It was beautiful really.
Riku seemed impressed too and why shouldn't he be? Perry reached up into his hat and pulled out a mini flashlight. He turned it on and held it out to Riku, well, sure there's light in every darkness...especially if you're prepared for such things. There's no need to fear the dark.
no subject
She also turned over to Perry, and nodded in confirmation that yes, she had made it nighttime. At least he wasn't freaking out about it too much!
And it was true...even from the satellite windows, it was hard to see as many stars in the sky as they could now.
no subject
At Perry's offer of a flashlight, he chuckled, but held out a hand. "Thanks, Perry. If I got my powers back, I can find my way in the dark."
Riku joined them in looking up at the stars. It was like fine white sand tossed on the school ground blacktop, every tiny grain sparkling. "I haven't seen this many stars since I was home. ...Maybe not even then." He looks to Perry. "Hey, want a better look? I can get into the top of that tree fast." Looking back to Amaterasu, he continued, "I don't think I could carry you up there, though." He seemed unsure, like he wanted to say he could, but he couldn't judge his jumps as well with that much weight.
no subject
And no problem Riku, if nothing else know that Perry will have your back and protect you from the darkness with his flashlight.
Perry shook his head, there were too many lights for there to be stars like this in Danville. It made him smile fondly. Phineas and Ferb would have loved this, he knew it. At Riku's suggestion Perry looked over at the tree, eyeing each branch. He scoffed. Please, Riku, he could scale a tree like that no problem.
The platypus adjusted his hat and then took to the tree at a run. He managed to run up a good way before leaping to the first branch and then hopping and jumping the rest of the way up. By the time he was about half way up he looked back down at Riku and Ammy. What? He took down a raptor, after that climbing a tree was cake. There was definitely a smirk there on his bill and he gestured for Riku to hurry is butt up. He figured if Angel could turn the sky into night then she could find SOME way up, right? She was pretty amazing that way.
no subject
Of course, Perry could definitely find his own way up a tree. He was fast and athletic that way; a tree would be no problem for him.
As for her, she had her own unusual methods for getting up to high places. She gave Riku her own kind of knowing smirk, and looked up to the top of the tree. Well, there wasn't as much space to draw catwalk, plus there wasn't much of a solid base to draw from like the Kabegami statues. However, she did spy a large blossom twisted around the top of the tree that didn't look too different from a Konohana blossom. She brought up her canvas, and sure enough, she could draw a vine from it.
She did so, and a large vine suddenly sprang from the blossom towards the top of the tree and latched onto Ammy's reflector. Then it snapped all the way back, dragging Ammy with it in one swift motion. She did a neat little jump as she landed on the top of the tree, balancing herself carefully on the branches.

Seeing a platypus smirk was interesting and fun. Seeing a wolf smirk was cool. But he had a smirk of his own.
Riku could climb trees well and jump high for a human before he'd even left the Islands. It came as part of being a competitive teenage boy with a rival and someone to try to get the attention of. A Keyblade, however, enhanced anyone's natural abilities. Riku closed his eyes, wishing he had his blindfold, still. He sprang up from the ground, leaping many times higher than he ever should have been able to. He caught hold of a branch, swung around until he could land his feet on it and leapt again. Riku burst from the treetop in a small explosion of gingko leaves and landed, gracefully perching himself before opening his eyes.
It was his turn to smirk back.
no subject
Of course, the jump was VERY impressive. Perry gave a small round of applause for both of them. Good job you two, you impressed the platypus again.
no subject
Now that they were all up here, they could enjoy the moonlight and starlight. A few flying creatures passed them by, but they didn't seem to pay them any mind. After all this, it was going to be tough to go back to the SOL again, especially if their powers still didn't work back there. But at least she had some good pictures to draw for Chibi, Namine and more!
