*Having been slightly unbalanced by the impact, Switch quickly regains her footing and makes a leap for the downed Elite, kicking out one foot, catching him in the shoulder as he tries to get up and knocking him back to the ground, the Lili then stepping forward and planting the foot squarely in the middle of his chest, tail arching around to hold the blade tip quivering near the Zealot's head.*
*Lights flash, motors whirr and the compy's platform turns bright white. The three step back as the light continues to become brighter, completely engulfing the little dinosaur. In the hangar, the force field also shines brighter and seems to become almost opaque, the sauro standing next to it unable to see the form of the plane through it as the machine too is engulfed in white light. Multicolored liquid streams through the tubes at an increasing speed, all the chemical tubes merging into a single conduit that exits the room through the ceiling, runs up through the wall, and protrudes down from the lofty roof of the hangar as a silver metallic nozzle. Just as the burst of chemicals completely clears out of the control room tubes, a shower of irridescent mist rains down from the nozzle, merging with the bright light of the force field. The spray lasts only a few seconds before the machine shuts down, the light dying away, the force field becoming transparent again, and the tubes beginning to refill. Sy lowers the hand she'd been using to shield her eyes and blinks, noting that the compy has disappeared completely from the platform. She and the others move to the window to look into the enclosure, the raptor letting out a suprised laugh, the humans' eyes widening in awe.*
Sy: I can't believe it really worked!
*A strange sound, like an oddly guttural chirp echoes around the hangar as the prone creature in the spot where the plane used to be stirrs. Even from a distance, it is odd looking... Its skin is colored in shades of white and gray with two blue stripes running from nose to tail on each side, like the Cessna. It rises shakily onto all fours, revealing the fact that its arms are now much longer than a standard compy's, with the third finger extending out several feet beyond the rest, supporting metallic-looking wings that somehow blend with flesh and merge seamlessly into its body at the base. Its head is thin and compy-like, but with a much more pointed nose in front of what look like air intakes and, to everyone's dismay, no visible eyes. Its tail is thin and whiplike, and has three backward-swept fins protruding from it halfway down. As it gains enough balance to stand on its hind legs and take a few steps, the team notice it not only has the usual three claws on each foot, but a wheel attached to the back of each ankle as well.*
Hurricane: Is... is that how it's supposed to look? I've never seen a dinosaur like it...
*Sy steps out of the control room, still gazing fixedly at the creature.*
Sy: I'm not sure, but I think so... If I remember what Pyro said, it's a techno-organic creature called an Aerosaur...
