Isla Sorna Stories: Rebirth

[Ceratosaurus21]

Thorn Jaw took the pain continuing towards the Diplodocus carcass slamming the Raptor against a wall of dead muscle and organs dislodging the attacking Raptor. With a growl of irritation and pain Thorn Jaw stepped forward opening his jaws intending to tear the green and black Raptor to ribbons...

[C S]

Dazed and winded, Aircrest barely rolled out of the way of the Ceratosaur's mouth in time, falling off the side of the titanic herbivore in the process. Catching himself by time he landed, the green and black raptor lunged onto the Ceratosaur's delicate underbelly, anchoring his hand claws into it and swinging his lower body up, kicking and scraping his claws at the thin and more sensitive hide of the horned creature.

[Ceratosaurus21]

Thorn Jaw growled in pain as the smaller predator attacked his underbelly still shocked at the hostility this Raptor had in it. Finding no easy way to dislodge the Raptor once more, Thorn Jaw reared up and slammed his torso on the Diplodocus meat once more hoping to finally kill this annoying Velociraptor...

[C S]

Once the Ceratosaur reared itself, Aircrest kicked off of it, leaving one last vicious gash. Twisting himself forward during his short fall, the raptor landed in a crouch and immediately darted through the larger predator's legs, jumping onto the back of his left shin and promptly tearing into it, biting and clawing at it...

[Ceratosaurus21]

Thorn Jaw felt the pain once more growling deeply Thorn Jaw launched his leg back shaking the Raptor, as the pain continued to increase. Snarling Thorn Jaw lifted his leg up once more but soon realized shaking it won't do, kicking his leg back Thorn Jaw slammed the Raptor again against the wall of Diplodocus meat jarring the Raptor into releasing his leg. Growling Thorn Jaw turned around to face the green and black Raptor steaming with primal rage his irritation making way to total hatred! Launching forward his maw opened wide the Ceratosaur wishes to rip the Raptor to shreds...

[Murloc Tyrannus]

Paradox could hear a fight going on as the scent of the dead Diplodocus increased in strength. Finally reaching the corpse, the Abelisaurus watched a Ceratosaurus and a Velociraptor battle, looking at the two.

"How amusing. Dinner and a show." Paradox snarled with a smirk as he looked at the two...

Aircrest ducked under the charging Ceratosaur, staggering a few paces as its bulk hurtled overhead. Adrenaline coursed through his veins, once giving him the speed and endurance to run away from threats; now keeping him awake and alert after such powerful blows. Regaining his focus, Aircrest jumped up and dug his claws into the Ceratosaur's neck. With one especially powerful kick, he ripped into the predator's throat with his sickle claw which then tore itself out when he launched off of the Ceratosaur. Landing heavily on the ground, Aircrest glared up at his heavily bleeding opponent. If he kept this up, the Ceratosaur would no doubt die of blood loss...

[Ceratosaurus21]

Thorn Jaw was dumbfounded his anger at an all time high his body beaten by such a small opponent was unheard of! Growling Thorn Jaw thought of his options, attack again and maybe gain more wounds or take his losses and leave. Though Thorn Jaw could see the Raptor was also in pretty bruised and staggering as if it had some sort of head trauma, the Ceratosaur was also shocked he hadn't broken the raptors fragile bones with his thick skull. What is this Raptor made of? Rocks? Thorn Jaw was utterly confused as to why the Raptor was still on its feet. But none the less Thorn Jaw could see he was in a state worse then Raptor's, growling the Ceratosaur moved away from the Raptor seeing that he has been bested. However Thorn Jaw will not forget this encounter with the green and black Raptor, he shall remember this raptor and he will find away to dispose of it in the future. Continuing on back in the direction he had come Thorn Jaw looks back once more his eyes expressing hate, a hatred over two years over due to being released...

Aircrest, blood stained, tired and battered, was brimming with satisfaction. Just because he was small did not mean he wasn't a danger to contend with. He turned back to the carcass, leaping high onto its side and dropping back down to where he was before, the stripped flesh and slash marks marking where he was eating from when the Ceratosaur appeared. He started engorging himself again, a fitting reward for his struggle. He would most likely end up sleeping off his body aches afterwards...

[Murloc Tyrannus]

The Abelisaurus stepped out from the brush, intending to eat the corpse while the the fight had settled down. He glanced at the carnivores, making his way to the back of the Diplodocus, digging his toothed maw into the fleshy and now somewhat decayed carcass. Paradox hadn't had a meal like this for quite a bit. However, it was the presence of the tyrannosaur and several other carnivores that made him feel... uneasy...

[Hopeflower]

Steeltalon, put back on edge by the fight that had broken out, let an uneasy growl escape her as the new predator appeared. There were too many predators here undeterred by the thought there might be bigger Rexes following Crusher. Though she hadn't really eaten her fill, she was tempted to back away and leave the carcass to the bigger carnivores, as she would have done if she were still alone. But...she wasn't really alone here. She shouldn't have to run away this time. "Yes...well..." she growled, trying to find her footing in the conversation she'd been having. "His involvement was kind of...indirect. He found a bull Triceratops and led it to the cave. You wouldn't believe the mess that was left....You wouldn't be able to tell one bloody smear on the wall from the next. Still, it worked...and that's what counts." She ripped another mouthful from the carcass, trying to finish her share before some other hungry predator tried to push her away from her meal.

[The Kingpin]

"Wow....Didn't think Rexes had it in them to pull things like that" murmured Fatalis as he heard the story. "You'd be surprised" Growled Crusher as he lifted his head from the Diplodocus's flank, a single golden eye lingering on the Raptor as the Rex turned his head to better see the commentator, the dead herbivore's heart hanging from a thin strip of flesh between his jaws, Crusher having chomped through the major arteries holding the organ in place. "Seems so. Well, s'pose that makes my offer to help obsolete" hissed Fatalis as he turned from Crusher to Steeltalon, slightly unnerved by the confidence in the young Rex's tone. Usually, at that age Rexes were still a bit nervous and quiet around others. That or startlingly hyperactive. This one seemed notably more calm and collected, even placid...

[Murloc Tyrannus]

Paradox lifted his head, facing Crusher with jealousy. The Abelisaurus couldn't really get any good pieces of meat from what he had in front of him; a few vertebrae and tough meat, which was too much of an effort to get a pair of jaws around. Paradox walked to the head of the massive sauropod, intending to eat its small yet nutritious brain...

[C S]

As the adrenaline surge started to wear off, Aircrest started to feel the effects of being bashed into the tough hide of the Diplodocus repeatedly. The dull aches gradually increased in intensity, the thought occurring in the back of his mind that he possibly had a few fractures somewhere in his body. He hoped that wasn't the case and was simply experiencing a bit of muscle trauma. Regardless, he knew he needed to rest soon. This was far more than he was accustomed to. Without a word, he turned to the forest and jogged towards the treeline. His first concern was finding a water source to get the blood off of him, then getting as far up into the trees as he possibly can.

[Murloc Tyrannus]

Paradox eyed Aircrest as he bit into the small head of the Diplodocus with a loud crunch. The Abelisaurus snorted at the raptor, already smelling the blood on the scarred dinosaur's body. He could feel the ripping of flesh from the sauropod's neck, specifically the area where the head was connected. Paradox continued to thrash his head like a maddened pit bull biting into an arm, trying to decapitate the corpse...

[Ceratosaurus21]

Thorn Jaw had made his way back to his territory knowing he would have to rest and let his wounds heal. Jogging to the same place he had bedded down the first time he stayed by his new river home, the Ceratosaur lowered himself down carefully not wanting to hurt himself even more. Laying on the warm sand Thorn Jaw reflected on the battle he just had feeling the affects of being ripped open now more than ever. Thorn Jaw cursed the Raptor for injuring him so, and cursed himself for allowing such grievous injuries to befall him. However, Thorn Jaw now knew that this Raptor would not be forgotten, Thorn Jaw knew that to be fact. He would not allow this puny carnivore the satisfaction of besting a Ceratosaur. No one day he would find this Raptor and teach it a lesson in nature, but for now Thorn Jaw knew he would have to rest and allow his leaking wounds to heal...

Scar Tooth stopped chasing the Abelisaur once it passed into the plains, the Carnotaur would not be taunted into the open where he was most vulnerable. Slinking back into the forest Scar Tooth disappeared into the undergrowth his three ton body near invisible in the thick foliage. Slowly and quietly the Carnotaur made his way back to the interior of Isla Sorna to once again roam his territory for potential intruders...

[The Kingpin]

Crusher could be seen eating more quickly than he was before. He had been there a while now and he knew it wouldn't be long before some of the bigger predators realised he was alone. Though he was prepared to fight off an attacker, he knew he wouldn't be able to fight off an assembly of predators all vying for a shot at the better parts; which by now he had almost finished anyway. Still, his blazing metabolism demanded more. He couldn't leave just yet. It was obvious the Abelisaur nearby was not amused and would probably try something soon, so Crusher kept his guard up, his stance wide and limbs sprung, in a visible combat stance, ready to leap into action at a moment's notice. His keen senses meanwhile made sure he wasn't taken by surprise by anyone...


Fatalis meanwhile was aware of this, taking note of the smallest details in the Rex's change in posture. It intrigued him. This was the first time he had seen any predator so young in life that attuned to his surroundings. Crusher had what most of his kind wished they had; skill beyond his years, in a body young enough to take full advantage of that skill. It was daunting to think of how the young Rex would be as an adult. Shifting his focus back to his meal, he gulped down a few more mouthfuls of flesh as he pondered on the fight that had recently broken out. It was amusing, to say the least, to see a Raptor go berserk on such a relatively bulky predator. He was under the impression he was the only one who did that regularly. It seemed he was wrong...

[Murloc Tyrannus]

Paradox looked back to Crusher for a brief moment, returning to the Diplodocus soon afterwards. The cracking of bones and the tearing of flesh were heard as the Abelisaurus could be seen holding the decapitated head of the sauropod in his jaws. Finding no use for the dismembered head at this point, Paradox dropped the dislodged head, digging into the now exposed meat in the neck. He looked back to Crusher again, eyeing the Rex with a confused face, tilting his head...

[The Kingpin]

A low snarl escaped the young Rex as he continued eating, though his eyes never left the Abelisaur, the Rex obviously wary of the risk of an attack...

[Murloc Tyrannus]

Paradox had gotten his share of trouble today from the Carnotaurus; the last thing he needed was a Tyrannosaurus ripping him to ribbons. Paradox let out a lowly growl, as if to warn the Rex not to come near. He was not afraid to end this Rex's life if he had to. The Abelisaurus then continued rip apart the neck of the dead sauropod, swallowing fairly large and shredded hunks of muscle from each of his bites...
