Chapter 52 ~tricking the amargas~
Fin was sent to investigate the Amargasaurus’s base, he saw they had crop plots mounted on wagons, and their walls could easily be torn down and moved, they definitely traveled a lot, the only other thing of mention was the large wooden steaks with carnivores tied to them, there was a carnotaurus, a baryonyx, and Skyla, they also had a guillotine, it was pretty average except it used amarga spikes instead of the usual large blade. He was thinking of ways to sneak in when he heard the chief amargasaurus start talking, it was the same one that hurt Seascale, Fin clenched his claw. “Everyone! Tonight, we dine on all these wonderful crops we have grown, and feast! In honor of the GREAT KILLING!!” He said. Many amargasaurus echoed “the great killing” and he continued, “we shall start the night with this savage carno who tried to hunt a megaloceros RIGHT OUTSIDE OUR CAMP!” The crowd booed, “now now, don’t be too angry with him, he was only doing what was.. n a t u r a l… but this baryonyx on the other claw, SHE tried to hunt one of our own!! Tiny Tim, show the others your scar.” A baby amargasaurus held its leg, which had a tiny scratch, barely noticeable. “Please! I didn’t mean to I knocked into him!” The baryonyx pleaded. “ShUt Up!!!!” The amarga said. “And then there was this Fjordhawk, I met her and her carnivore friends in the jungle, they had the aUdAcItY! To eat meat! In front of me AND THEN LIE ABOUT IT!!!!!” The crowd was sent into a rage. He went face to face with Skyla, “I’m going to enjoy your death, most of all..” she spat in his face and he chuckled. “FiRy ThIs OnE!” He said laughing. Fin couldn’t to watch the maniac any longer so he left to go tell the others about the execution.
“So they’re doing it tonight.. hmm, I have a plan.” Nash said. “What iss it.” Seascale asked. “I’m going to distract them while you and your men infiltrate their.. “‘base’” and free the prisoners.” Nash explained. “A ssimple plan, good, lesss thingss to go wrong.” Fang said. “Exactly.” Nash said.
The amargasaurus where readying the guillotine, when Nash appeared on their wall, “Hey Psycho!” He yelled. The chief amarga turned around slowly, “y o u..” he said. “Yes, Me.” Nash said. “Can’t you see we are in the middle of THE GREAT KILLING! leave now, while I’m feeling merciful.” He said. “No.” Nash said. “Oh please! I don’t even really care about you! You only eat bugs, a low food chain pest like you isn’t worth the time of the great killing!!” The amarga said. “Actually, I killed a Rhyniognatha, and Prince Caldren, I heard he loved a good amargasaurus steak.” Nash said. “Di- did you eat them?” The Chief said. “No, just slayed them because they were carnivorous beasts.” Nash lied. “Really?” A voice from the crowd said. “Yea, and I actually don’t even eat bugs, your leader is lying, he was the one eating meat in the woods, he killed a triceratops and ate the whole thing.” Nash said. The chief was dumbfounded. “That’s not what happened!” One of the amargasaurus who was with the chief said. “Oh says you, cannibal..” Nash said. Nash really just meant the cannibal thing as a way to confuse the crowd but apparently it fed into a local conspiracy, “WAIT! Jeb, you were with Allen when he supposedly got killed by a Rhyniognatha! I knew you were lying! You ate him!!!” An amargasaurus said. “Now now, it’s obvious that this carnivore is lying, there was another amargasaurus who was with me and Jeb, they can testify.” The chief said. “Uh, that was Allen..” a member of the crowd said.” The chiefs face fell. He tried to calm the crowd but the damage was done, they turned on him and Jeb, the fight was gruesome. When the dust settled, Skyla and the other prisoners were gone, but the amargasaurus didn’t notice, they were too busy making Nash their new leader. “Well, if I’m the new boss we should start by killing everyone in the swamp! Imagine all the carnivores in there!” He said. “But, there’s too many for us to handle, the old boss said so himself..” one said. “Nonsense! He was a carnivore remember, he was just trying to protect his carnivore buddies.” Nash explained. The amargasauruses were clearly all running on half a brain cell so they believed him, he led them to the swamp, and they never left.
