DinoSquad: Saurian War

Expanding Territories

When the final period bell rang out, The halls of Orca Point High School were transformed into a tidal wave up of over a thousand students. Some rushed as fast as they could out the doors to get home, many were going to a variety of after school clubs and still others finding their ways to friends to chill, chat or just goof around.

Amidst the chaos, five unremarkable looking students; Zephyr Gravemasker, Allison Mendoza, Ben Blacksnake, Laura Correia and Kevin Chang, took the time to meet up with one another before making their way out of the building with some haste.

It had been a week since they were exposed to a strange mutagenic ooze and mutated into a variety of prehistoric life. The day before they had finally been given a cure, allowing them to return to their human forms for a certain amount of time. And they could easily switch from human to humanoid saurian to full-on dinosaur at will.

The group made their way out of the building and into the school's parking lot and made a beeline to a large white van in the back of the lot that had probably seen better days.

"Ugh, I thought today was never gonna end..." Zephyr groaned.

"We've been off school for a week! How can you be tired already?" Allison asked.

"Yeah, but that week off was almost all training, experiments and junk like that. Not very relaxing if you ask me." Zephyr replied.

"You were the one who jumped on the opportunity to be a superhero." Ben told Zephyr, "Hard work comes with the territory."

"Yeah, but I didn't know hard work would be so... hard!" Zephyr groaned. "Let's just get home before something happens."

Earning an eye roll from Ben.

When the group reached the van, Zephyr unlocked it and everyone got in. Zephyr would take the driver's seat, as it was his vehicle. Ben hopped the passenger's seat, and Allison situated herself in the second row of seats. While Laura and Kevin flopped down on some bean bags that were laid out in the back.

But as Zephyr tried getting into the van, he realized that the car parked next to his, a heavily modified off-roader buggy with a really nice and probably new paint job, was way too close to his driver's side. It would be pretty much impossible for him to open his door without busting the neighboring vehicle up.

"Yo, Z! What's the hold-up? Everything good?" Ben called out from the passenger's window.

"I'm fine, someone just parked way too close, I'm gonna use some dino-strength to move it a little." Zephyr explained already shifting his hands and arms into that of his Plateosaurus morph, granting him extraordinary physical strength. "Keep an eye out for anyone would ya?"

Zephyr bent over and placed his hands underneath the buggy and started to lift. With his prosauropod strength, lifting the buggy was only a mild feat of strength.

But before he could reposition it an angry voice called out to him.

"Yo! What are you doing to my car bro!?!" The voice, belonging to a young woman rushing towards him, demanded.

Zephyr shot a glare towards Ben, who gave him an apologetic shrug.

The woman was tall and fit, she had golden tanned skin and ginger hair that flowed down to her middle back with side bangs that reached to her chest. She wore a blank white long sleeved shirt under a brown cropped jacket, a pair of mustard yellow khakis and a pair of brown, leather mechanic's gloves.

Zephyr knew her pretty well, Fiona Flagstaff, a total gearhead and thrill seeker who seemingly had it out for him.

Though before Zephyr could even see her, he groaned. He recognized that voice.
