(Y/n) POV

Today is a gorgeous day on the African Savannah and everyone is doing something productive today. Chris is organizing the Creature Adventure gear, Koki is tuning up the solar panels on the Tortuga, Jimmy is snoozing in his hammock, Martin is laying on top of the Tortuga and I'm watching a herd of elephants pass by in the distance. Aviva walks out with a box with parts and inventions in her arms.

A Honey Guide bird flies by Aviva and I can hear her say.

Aviva: I love birds. All kinds of birds.

I can feel her gaze land on me as I watch the elephants. Aviva then approaches me and sits in front of me with her back facing me. She then leans back against me and pulls out some binoculars and stating.

Aviva: I'm gonna take a break from inventing, and do a little bird watching.

I smirk softly before saying.

(Y/n): You wanna see some birds? Check the elephant herd and tell me what you see?

Aviva looks through her binoculars and soon says.

Aviva: There's quite a few birds flying around the elephants.... Cattle Egrets, Carmine Bee Eaters, and Oxpeckers. Why are there so many different birds flying around the elephants?

(Y/n): Well, like the Rhino, elephants are often surrounded by insects as they move through their territory. One way to relieve that issue is to ally with birds to eat the insects. The birds get a ride and a meal, the elephant gets a bug repellant, everybody wins.

Aviva finally understood and was fascinated.

Aviva: A symbiotic relationship, where everyone benefits from the partnership. Wow, birds are so helpful.

(Y/n): Agreed. And what's really cool is that birds are the direct descendants of the mighty dinosaurs.

Aviva: Really?!

(Y/n): Yes. In fact, you could argue that birds are dinosaurs, just with beaks instead of teeth.

Martin: Ahhhhh!

I turn my head and see Martin sliding down the shell of the Tortuga uncontrollably whilst screaming. He somehow manages to slide on the clothesline and crash into Chris, which also destroys the sleeping bags that were drying. As a result, Chris got angry, and when Martin tried to run away, he chased after Martin while covered in the down feathers from the sleeping bags. I simply look deadpanned at them and say.

(Y/n): Well, isn't that just typical.

Aviva: Oh, perfect time to test my new invention.

Aviva pulls out a purple portable fan enlarging fan blades.

Aviva: My portable power fan.

I hop to my feet in excitment and say.

(Y/n): Sweet! Max power, Aviva!

Aviva does just that and aims the fan at the brothers. The wind power caused by the fan was enough to stop the brothers in their tracks before comically sending them flying backwards and crashing into and spinning in Jimmy's hammock. Jimmy pokes his head out and says as Aviva, Koki and I approach.

Jimmy: Is it morning already?

Martin responds with.

Martin: Yup. And it's time for all of us to get going on a raptor roundup!

(Y/n): Raptors?! I love raptors!

Jimmy suddenly gets scared and freaks out in his hammock, causing Chris and Martin to be tossed to the ground. Jimmy then says scared out of his mind.

Jimmy: Dinosaurs?!

Aviva: What?!

Jimmy: Looking for Velociraptors?!

Aviva then says.

Aviva: But I just started on my time machine.

Jimmy continues freaking out and says.

Jimmy: They'll eat us!

Aviva: I can't get us back to the age of the dinosaurs yet.

I am quick to try and calm everyone down.

(Y/n): Okay, okay. Can everybody please-

Koki interrupted by saying to Aviva.

Koki: I'm not sure you have to. Look.

She points at a bird that has appeared from the bushes.

Chris and Martin yell out in excitment.

Chris/Martin: A raptor!

Jimmy was less than thrilled, and when the bird looked at us-

Jimmy: Ahhhhh!

Jimmy was about to run back towards the Tortuga, but I grabbed his shirt collar and held him in the air and finally snapped.

(Y/n): Will everyone calm down already!

Everyone immediately calms down and listens to me intently.

(Y/n): This isn't the dinosaur kind of raptor, rather it's the group of predatory birds called raptors.

Jimmy: It still looks pretty scary.

(Y/n): Well, they're definitely not cuddely, Jimmy. This bird is known as the Secretary bird.

Chris: Or sometimes called the Hunter bird.

Martin: I like Hunter bird better.

(Y/n): Me too.

Aviva then asks as she looks at the beautiful birds.

Aviva: But how do you know it's part of the group of birds called raptors?

Martin starts answering with.

Martin: Because all raptors share these features: sharp curved beaks.

Chris: Long sharp talons.

(Y/n): Large eyes, both pointed forward. Raptors use these features to hunt.

Martin sees the Hunter Bird moving away clearly on the prowl, he says as he starts to tip-toe behind the bird.

Martin: And that is what this Hunter bird is doing now.

The whole crew follows the Hunter bird for a while, and Martin states.

Martin: Wow. She really does look like a dinosaur.

Chris: Yeah and some dinosaurs had feathers too.

(Y/n): Yup, when you look at a raptor, or indeed any bird, you're looking at the direct descendants of dinosaurs like Velociraptor, Utahraptor, and even Tyrannosaurus Rex.

I notice the Hunter bird has stopped and hold my arm out to stop the rest of the crew.

(Y/n): She found something.

Martin looks and sees what it is and says.

Martin: Yeah, trouble. And it's name is Black Mamba.

The Black Mamba lifts it's head up and hisses at the Hunter bird, causing her to flare her wings.

(Y/n): Yeah, that's the kind of snack you don't wanna find in your lunch bag.

Martin then adds on.

Martin: Unless, of course, you're a hunter bird.

The Hunter bird kicks her feet at the snake and misses. Chris watches as the Mamba strikes but misses the bird's legs.

Chris: The snake can't get a good bite on the Hunter bird's skinny legs.

(Y/n): On top of that, her legs are covered in thick scales so snake fangs can't get through.

The Hunter bird then brandishes her talons, before stomping on the Mamba.

Chris: Those feet also have talons that the Hunter bird uses to stomp snakes.

The Hunter bird wins her meal and starts swallowing the snake whole.

Martin: Yeah, Stomp. That's Stomp's specialty.

(Y/n): She is an incredible snake predator.

Stomp swallow the entire snake whole which impresses us all.

Martin/Chris: Whoa!

Martin: That was totally prehistoric.

Martin/Chris/(Y/n): Raptors rock!

The other crew members grow excited and Koki states.

Koki: Okay, I'm totally in on this raptor roundup.

Even Jimmy was getting in on the action as he pulls out his Creature Pod and snaps some pictures.

Jimmy: Me too. Even though they're like living dinosaurs, they're too cool to be afraid of.

Aviva: And they must have some incredible creature powers.

Martin: Great! That's one down and about 320 to go.

Koki, Jimmy and even Aviva looks at Martin with confused expressions. I am quick to clear up his meaning though.

(Y/n): That's how many species of raptors there are in the world.

We then hear Chris a short distance away, as he followed Stomp to a small watering hole.

Chris: Well, check this out. Our Hunter bird has led us to a few more.

I approach with the rest of the crew and see several key members of the raptor family, from all different factions too.

Chris: A Chanting Goshawk.

Martin: Peregrine falcon.

(Y/n): A Spotted Eagle Owl.

Martin: White headed vulture.

Chris: And a Martial Eagle.

Aviva then pulls out her Creature Pod and pulls up a profile of every one of the birds present and says.

Aviva: Let's confirm they're all raptors. Curved, sharp bill?

(Y/n): Check.

Aviva: Eyes on front of head for hunting?

Everyone: Check.

Aviva: Talons?

Everyone: Check.

(Y/n): Well, this raptor roundup should be a breeze.

Martin: *chuckles* Yeah, it's easy when the raptors round themselves up at the watering hole.

Koki: Owl's are the coolest.

Jimmy: That Eagle could eat me.

Aviva: Falcons are my fav.

(Y/n): I'm an eagle person.

We all chuckle until a disturbance in the grass causes the birds to start trying to flee. Suddenly, Gourmand leaps out of the bushes with a net in hand.

(Y/n): *growls* Gourmand.

Aviva: What's he doing here?

Gourmand tries to throw another net at Stomp, but he easily maneuvers out of the way.

Chris: What a move!

Martin: Go Stomp go!

Gourmand, however managed to catch the other raptors.

Chris: But he caught the others.

(Y/n): Hey fatty! What's the big idea?!

Gourmand finally notices us and mocks us by asking.

Gourmand: Oh, we're you wondering which raptor to have for dinner? When I've tasted them all, I'll let you know.

Gourmand takes off into the brush.

Koki/Jimmy/Aviva: Gourmand!

Course instinct kicks in, and I take off after Gourmand.

Aviva: (Y/n)!

I follow Gourmand's trail and soon start to catch up to him. Gourmand starts talking to himself about various recipes to cook our raptors with.

Gourmand: Raptor amandine.

(Y/n): *thoughts* Ew.

Gourmand: Vulture bouillabaisse.

(Y/n): *thoughts* Vile.

Gourmand: Eagle gorgonzola.

(Y/n): *thoughts* Disgusting.

Gourmand: Oh, owl etouffee.

(Y/n): *thoughts* Gross.

Gourmand: And.... falcon fritters. *evil laugh*

(Y/n): *thoughts* Okay, that's just rude.

By the time I do, the brother's catch up to me and we follow him back to his plane, with Gourmand still talking to himself.

Gourmand: Why didn't I think of this before? I love chicken wings. How boldly delicious would this be. Raptor wings.

Gourmand walks onto his plan and the three of us peek out from cover, me disguised as a mound of dirt, Chris from underneath Gourmand's rolled up sleeping bag, and Martin from... his stew pot?

Chris: That doesn't sound good.

(Y/n): No kidding. The only birds I like to eat are chickens and turkey.

Martin: *spits out soup* Let's get a closer look and see what he's up to.

We tiptoe towards the plane, but I hear Gourmand coming back out and point to a large burrow and tell the brothers.

(Y/n): Dive.

One by one, the three of us dive into the burrow as Gourmand walks past whilst humming a tune to himself. Bad news for us, I forgot to look before we leaped into an occupied warthog burrow. The brothers and become grossed out and I try my best to hold back from throwing, but my god that smell is gross.

Chris: Ah! I love warthogs. *coughs*

Martin: But not warthog breath. *groans*

We all groaned and cough as Martin pokes his head out and checks for Gourmand.

Martin: Okay, I think he's gone. Come on.

The three of us haul our upper bodies out of the burrow and try to catch out breath. I check around and confirm to the brothers.

(Y/n): Coast is clear.

Chris: Let's get hopping.

Suddenly, we all get poked in our rears by the warthogs sharp tusks, sending us hopping into the the air and outside the burrow.

(Y/n): Ow! Okay, we get the point.

Chris: Come on. Let's hurry before Gourmand comes back.

I nod and we all approach the plane, and once we peaked inside, what we saw was disheartening. Several species of raptor birds from around the world kept in small bird cages.

Martin: Oh no! These raptors have already been rounded up.

(Y/n): Yup, this job just turned into a raptor rescue and return.

Chris: Back home living free and in the wild.

I hear Gourmand humming and tell the brothers.

(Y/n): *whispers* Hide!

I lead the guys onto the plane just in case Gourmand decides to take off. We hide behind some crates as we hear Gourmand singing.

Gourmand: *singing* Oh, who knows who will be my favorite delicacy.

As we hide, all the raptors look at us, which could give away our position.

Martin: Oh no, they're all staring at us.

Chris: They'll give us away. (Y/n) do something.

(Y/n): What am I supposed to do? *to the raptors* Don't look at us!

As Gourmand comes back the birds finally look away as he walks in with another raptor in a net. Our Hunter bird-

Martin: Stomp!

I quickly pull Martin down while covering his mouth, I then check to make sure Gourmand didn't hear us. Then I get an idea and whisper it to the brothers.

Gourmand: to the birds* Hey! What are y'all looking at?

I touch the Peregrine Falcon and shout.

(Y/n): Activate Peregrine Falcon powers!

My suit forms around me and I flare my wings and taunt Gourmand.

(Y/n): Hello, tubby. What's for lunch?

Gourmand: Well, lookie here. Marine boy has grown himself some wings.

(Y/n): Yup, and they're great for flying.

Gourmand: You mean frying.

(Y/n): Flying.

Gourmand: Frying!

(Y/n): No, great for flying off with your cooking tools.

I flaps my wings and dash forward, grabbing Gourmand's cooking tools as he ducks and I fly outside.

(Y/n): Now you won't be cooking anything. *laughs mockingly*

Gourmand: Get back here with those!

3rd Person POV

Back in the plane, Chris and Martin peek out from hiding and Martin says.

Martin: All according to plan.

Chris: It is one of (Y/n)'s plans. But we need to be fast.

Martin: Only problem is, a lot of the raptors come from different places around the world.

Chris is quick to call Aviva.

Chris: Aviva. We found Gourmand. (Y/n) is distracting him so we have to move.

Martin: Bring welder gloves, oven mitts, hockey gloves. Anything that'll protect you from sharp raptor talons.

Martin walked up to a chained up Harpy Eagle from South Americaa and says.

Martin: Did you know a Harpy Eagle's talons are as long as a Grizzly Bear's claws. And she can squeeze them clean through your arm.

The Harpy Eagle demonstrated by squeezing her talons through a mango in Martin's hand.

Chris: Grab those gloves and come on down. We gotta round up these raptors and get them out of here, fast.

Aviva: *over comms* We're on our way.

Aviva sends (Y/n) a text message of encouragement before she starts driving the Createrra to Gourmand's plane. Speaking of which, (Y/n) simply flies just out of Gourmand's reach while leading him away from the plane.

Gourmand: Get back here with my cooking utensils!

(Y/n) sees Aviva's text and tells himself.

(Y/n): *chuckles* Don't worry, Aviva. This is working like a charm.

(Y/n) decides to taunt Gourmand a little more and says.

(Y/n): Hey Gourmand! You should try flying sometime. It's fun.

Gourmand then stops and grows a mischievous smirk and says.

Gourmand: Maybe I will.

He goes back to his campsite outside the plane and grabs a jetpack. Gourmand straps the jetpack on, pulls the start up string and takes off after (Y/n) into the air.

(Y/n): Uh-oh. Shame on me for underestimating Gourmand's survival skills. Still, I have Peregrine falcon powers and still have the advantage.

The two combatants start an aerial dogfight, Gourmand pulls out dough balls from out of nowhere and starts throwing them at (Y/n).

Gourmand: Take this, you overgrown pheasant!

(Y/n): Nah, I'll pass.

(Y/n) uses his superior aerial agility to zig zag in the air and avoid the dough balls.

Back at the plane, Aviva, Koki and Jimmy arrive as Martin releases Stomp.

Martin: Go on, Stomp. Get those long legs moving on out of here.

Aviva looks up as she spots (Y/n) and Gourmand's fight.

Aviva: (Y/n) will keep Gourmand distracted as long as he can. But we've got to work fast. What do we do?

Chris: Okay, Aviva. You gather the Falcons.

Aviva: How do I know which ones are Falcons? All these raptors have similar features.

Martin: You're right. But the different groups of raptors, hawks, eagles, falcons, owls and vultures, each have special features. Falcons have long thin wings and black marks under their eyes.

Aviva spots a peregrine falcon and smiles and says as she dashes inside.

Aviva: On it.

Chris: Koki, can you handle the hawks?

Koki: If I knew what one looked like.

Chris then points to the Chanting Goshawk as an example.

Chris: Like her. Shorter, broader wings and wide fan-shaped tails.

Koki understood and nodded before heading inside. Martin then asks Jimmy.

Martin: Jimmy, you gather the owls?

Jimmy: Easy, they'll be the ones that hoot before they sink their talons in my face, right?

Martin: *chuckles* Well, some hoot, but all owls have round faces and the biggest eyes.

Jimmy spots, well, the spotted eagle owl and shivers in slight fear until the owl politely hops onto Jimmy's arm. Martin walks into the plane saying.

Martin: I'll get the Eagles, the biggest and most powerful birds of prey.

Chris then walks in as Aviva sees (Y/n) making another pass over the plane.

Aviva: Hang in there just a little longer.

Chris: I've got the vultures, largest wings for soaring great distances in search of carcasses, and their talons are not as sharp as other raptors.

Everyone gets their respective raptors back to the Createrra.

Chris: Whoo hoo! Let's get these raptors out of here.

Jimmy: What about (Y/n)?

Martin: He'll be fine. He's got Peregrine falcon powers.

The camera switches back to (Y/n) and Gourmand's fight as they start to fly near a mudhole

Gourmand: Take that and that!

(Y/n): Come on, Gourmand. This is getting boring.

(Y/n) decides to gain some height and then tuck into the signature Peregrine falcon dive of 240 mph, to outrun Gourmand.

(Y/n): Heheh, too easy.

(Y/n) then looks down and notices that he's diving for the mudhole.

(Y/n): Oops.

(Y/n), with great effort, flares his wings and manages to barely pull out of the dive.

(Y/n): Whew, that was close.

Gourmand: Surprised!

(Y/n): Huh?

(Y/n) looks and sees Gourmand waiting in front of him and throws several dough balls at him. Messing up (Y/n)'s feathers and causing him to crash into the mud hole.

(Y/n): Mayday! Mayday! Falcon 1 down! Need back up!

Aviva stamps on the brakes, bringing the Createrra to a halt.

Aviva: (Y/n) needs help!

Martin: Chris and I can handle this. But we can't show up around Gourmand with a truck full of raptors.

Chris: Let's free the African birds first.

Martin: Martial eagles away!

Jimmy: So long, spotted owls.

Chris: Be free Chanting Goshawk!

Koki: Hasta la Vista, vultures!

Aviva: Fly away home, falcons.

Martin: Not so fast Aviva, Chris and I need to borrow some falcon powers.

Martin And Chris both insert their Peregrine falcon disc's and touch the falcon.

Martin/Chris: Activate Peregrine Falcon powers!

The brothers suits form and they take off to help (Y/n), Aviva swallows her worry and says to Jimmy and Koki.

Aviva: Let's get these non-african raptors back to the Tortuga.

Koki/Jimmy: Right!

Martin: (Y/n), get ready for a raptor rescue.

Back at the mudhole, (Y/n) was still struggling in the mud. Gourmand lands on firm ground and mocks (Y/n) by saying.

Gourmand: So, fly boy. Not so fast now, are you?

(Y/n): Lucky shot Gourmand.

Gourmand: Well, one thing I know about birds: is that they can't fly right unless their wings are just so. And I'm not talking about so muddy.

Gourmand laughes as he leaves (Y/n) stuck in the mud, as (Y/n) tries to clean off his suits feathers. Gourmand decides to taunt the Marine more before leaving.

Gourmand: It'll take you forever to clean that suit, and by that time, I will have surprised Moe and Curly and the rest of your friends. And I will recapture my raptors.

Gourmand flies away with (Y/n) yelling.

(Y/n): That's the last mistake you'll ever make underestimating them!

(Y/n) looks down at his suit and starts trying to clean it. Not far away, Chris and Martin are flying in the air looking for him.

Martin: Time to get a raptors eye view on the situation, cause all raptors have amazing vision.

Martin and Chris look around and finally spot (Y/n) in the mud.

Martin: Dude, is now the best time for a mud bath? *chuckles*

Chris: No, (Y/n) is stuck.

Chris then notices a lion moving in on (Y/n).

Chris: And he's not a falcon, he's a sitting duck.

Back in the mud, (Y/n) says to himself while he uses his suits beak feature to clean the mud of his feathers.

(Y/n): Okay, falcons have 450 feathers. So it takes me an hour to clean each one, since I'm bigger, that means I'll be free till.... *silently mouths some math* Next Tuesday?!

Lion: *loud snarl*

(Y/n): Oh no.

Back in the air...

Chris: We gotta get to him first.

Martin: I got him!

Martin uses the Peregrine Falcon dive move and snatches up (Y/n) out of the mud and the lion.

Martin: Gotcha!

(Y/n): Whew, that was way too close.

Martin flies him back up to Chris.

Chris: You okay, partner?

(Y/n): Yeah, thanks for the save.

Martin: No problem. Now let's get you flying again. Hang on!

Martin suddenly flies around in circles and gets all the mud off (Y/n). (Y/n) is finally flying on his own as Martin let's go of him.

(Y/n): Whoo! Falcon powers back online. But we gotta catch up to Gourmand.

Chris: Let's go.

Soon all three falcon catch up to Gourmand.

(Y/n): Hey! Gourmand! *laughes* You're gonna have to try and lot harder than that.

Martin: Yeah we're not gonna let you anywhere near those raptors.

Gourmand simply smirks and says.

Gourmand: We'll see about that.

Gourmand leads the three falcons on a chase until they come to two acacia trees. Gourmand goes under the leafy branches, causing the three to follow, until (Y/n) starts to get a bad feeling.

(Y/n): Wait a minute... why- *gasps* Brother's stop!

Before they can though, the Kratt brothers crash into a almost invisible net strung between the two trees.

(Y/n): Ah, an invisible miss nest.

Martin: We're stuck.

Gourmand: Well, well, well. Look who got trapped by me again. *laughing*

Chris: You'll never get away with this Gourmand.

Martin: Yeah, Aviva, Koki and Jimmy will stop you.

Gourmand: *laughes* Oh, yeah right. And orange juice and toothpaste taste good together. *laughes*

Gourmand flies away, but (Y/n) doesn't immediately follow, but looks at the miss net the brothers are stuck in.

Martin: (Y/n), get after Gourmand.

Chris: Yeah, you need to stop him.

(Y/n): .... I've never left a soldier in the field before, and I'm not gonna start now.

Touched by this, the brothers and (Y/n) start trying to think of a way out.

(Y/n): Hmm, I've got an idea. Use your beaks to slice through the net around your heads. Falcons have stronger, sharper beaks than hawks and eagles.

Chris: Let's try it.

Martin agrees and the brothers manage to slice the net closest to their heads.

Martin: Now what?

(Y/n): Hold still.

(Y/n) flaps close and uses his talons to pull and rip the rest of the net apart, freeing Chris and Martin.

Martin: Whoo hoo!

Chris: Yeah, we're free!

(Y/n): Ha! Even though a Peregrine falcon's beaks are stronger than their feet. Their talons can still grip with almost 1200 lbs per square inch, a humans jaw can only exert 600 lbs of force. Now, let's see if we can still help the crew.

Chris/Martin: Right!

Back at the Tortuga, Gourmand is seen sneaking in through a hatch on the Tortuga's shell. Inside, Aviva, Jimmy and Koki are taking care of the raptors from other parts of the world.

Koki: Okay, Createrra's loaded.

Jimmy: Raptors are cozy and comfy.

Aviva: Great job. Now we just have to wait for (Y/n) and the brothers to come back, and we can return these raptors to their natural habitats.

Koki brings up a map of the world and Aviva points out each raptor they have and where in the world they live.

Aviva: Harpy Eagle lives in South America..... Wedge-tailed Eagles back to Australia.... and Bald Eagles to North America. Now, we just-

Aviva is cut off by the intruder alarm, which Koki upgraded after the Wild Kratts' run in with Clayton and the poachers.

Koki: Intruder alarm.

Jimmy didn't think anything of it at the moment and said.

Jimmy: It's probably just the guys coming through the roof.

Koki checks her computer and starts pulling up security footage.

Koki: Nope, it's a shell breach from quadrant 7.

Koki finally pulls up footage as Aviva and Jimmy gather around to see.

Koki: *gasps* It's Gourmand.

The video shows Gourmand with a butterfly net in hand in the cargo bay. Aviva quickly gets an idea and tells the other two.

Aviva: Time for a plan.

Gourmand moves around in the darkened Tortuga until he reaches the main room and sees silhouettes of his potential dinners.

Gourmand: Ah-ha. There's my secret ingredients. Soon the taste test for the tastiest raptor wings will begin again.

Gourmand catches one with his hand net and laughes thinking he's won. Until the lights turn on and he is surprised at what he actually caught.

Gourmand: Huh? This is no raptor.

Aviva is then seen standing on the table looking down at Gourmand as she says.

Aviva: You're right, Gourmand. They're my Guinea Fowl Flappers.

As Gourmand freaks out and stumbles backwards, Aviva usee the robot arm backpack she's wearing and scoops Gourmand up in a large sack, where only his nose and eyes are seen. Aviva then tells Gourmand.

Aviva: I thought I'd send you on a little sightseeing trip to the one place on earth where there are no raptors, Antarctica. Then maybe you'll think about what the world will be like without them and start appreciating raptors for what they are. Get him out of here, Jimmy.

Jimmy appears with his controller and programs the Guinea Fowl Flappers to fly Gourmand out of the Tortuga. By this time, The Kratt brothers and (Y/n) returned to watch Gourmand be flown away.

Martin/Chris: Gotta love raptors!

(Y/n): Yup, fantastic flyers with powerful talons feet. Direct descendants of dinosaurs.

Chris: Who still fly the skies today.

Martin: Raptors are one of the most awesome creature familes on the planet.

(Y/n): They're not meant to be fried or fricasseed.

Chris: Yup, they belong living free and in the wild.

Koki and Aviva join the falcon Adventurers on the roof of the Tortuga.

Martin: Well, we've done a raptor roundup.

Chris: And a raptor rescue.

Aviva: Now, it's time for a raptor return.

Koki: Good work on that plan Aviva.

(Y/n): I knew you could outsmart Gourmand.

Aviva blushes lightly at the compliment, the brothers and (Y/n) deactivate their falcon powers and the crew fly off in the Tortuga to return raptors home.

Timeskip Later that night.

(Y/n) POV

I am once again doing a bed check and don't see Aviva in her bunk. I look around until I heard clinking and clattering coming from somewhere in the cargo hold. I walk down and see a light turned on, I peek inside and see Aviva working on some math and physics on a marker board. I knock before walking in.

(Y/n): Aviva?

Aviva: *yelp* Ah! (Y/n)!

I am quick to apologize.

(Y/n): I'm sorry.

Aviva set down her marker and calmed down before acknowledging me again.

Aviva: What are you doing?

(Y/n): Bed check, it's almost midnight. What are you doing?

Aviva looked like she'd been caught doing something bad, this confused me when she said.

Aviva: You ruined the surprise.

(Y/n): What surprise? I have no idea what any of this is.

Aviva then said something that made me do a double take.

Aviva: I'm...... working on a time machine.

It took me a minute to process what she just said and then I try to think about it in my head.

(Y/n): I... Uhm.... Wow...... That is really ambitious. Why?

Aviva got really excited and was clearly really passionate on what she was doing.

Aviva: I wanna see what the past was really like, and see all the cool creatures that once roamed our planet. Obviously we can't bring anything back but it'd still be cool to see actual dinosaurs and other creatures time left behind.

(Y/n): Can you do it? Is it possible?

Aviva indicates the math and physics she was doing on the board.

Aviva: That's what I'm trying to figure out.

I am genuinely proud of her, but I also worry if she can't pull this off.

(Y/n): Well, let me know if you need help.

Aviva: I will. Thank you, and please, don't tell the brothers yet.

(Y/n): My lips are sealed. Seriously though, it's late. Time for bed, young lady.

Aviva giggles and puts her markers away before covering her work with a sheet then heading to bed. Avalanche just laid in his bed and made sure Aviva stayed asleep. Only then did I shut my light off and fsll asleep also wondering about time travel.

(Y/n): *snickers* Cool.

(A/N): Hey! All you really wild readers out there! Hope everyone had a happy holidays and I'm sorry this one is slightly late, but I hope you like it anyways. Raptors are some of the coolest birds ever, my personal favorite is the Golden Eagle. Eagles are able to take down such prey as whitetail or mule deer, and they only weigh 15 lbs!🤯

Animal Question: What raptors live near you?

Anyways, I'm starting to get back in the groove, but my day job will still take up a lot of my time. But I will be posting at least for this story and my Dinobots x RWBY Part 2 series regularly. So, hope you're ready. I love you all, be sure to leave your thoughts and comments and I'll see y'all in the next one. PEACE OUT!!!
