The Son of Rockwell

Chapter 11:The grass isn’t always…

Three weeks earlier.

“And drink it all up Bruce” Barney, the leader of the military trainers, told Bruce. Bruce quickly shoved the pleasant dish his trainer gave him. ‘Focal chili. Pretty good.’ He thought. Barney quickly marched over to a stable and Bruce scampered to keep up. “Bruce!” Barney barked, “Yes sir.” Bruce said, “Remember that book I told you to read? The Animal Encyclopedia?” “Yes sir.” “Well now it will come in handy, hope you jogged your memory.” Barney put his hand on a scanner. A robot voice called out “Hand print recognized. Welcome Barney Johnson.” Barney muttered under him breath about the scanner. The door opened and they stepped in. Bruce looked around and saw a bunch of creatures, from Rexs to Yutys, Dodos to Spiders. Barney motioned to for Bruce to follow. “Here we are.” Bruce saw the large dinosaur with feathers and a beak and tail with a large amount of colorful plumage with a brown saddle with some saddlebags. “The Gigaraptor.” Bruce said. “Excellent recognition Bruce.” Barney said. “And with some babies.” “Babies sir?” “Yes.” Barney said. He pulled a flap of the saddlebags to reveal a baby raptor and some meat to keep it fed. Barney placed some more meat for the baby, “This little beasts are a key factor for the fight.” Bruce lifted an eyebrow, “How so sir?” Barney gave Bruce a look as if he was stupid, “Didn’t you read that section? The babies are that weakest ones right?” “Yes?” “And the Gigaraptor defends the young with its life right.” “Yes.” then it came to Bruce. “So the Broodmother will target the babies…” “And the Gigaraptor will fight the Broodmother like heck.” Barney finished.

. . . . .

And boy did it fight. The Gigaraptor slashed at the hordes of spiders and bit them to pieces. ‘Effective’ Bruce thought. The plan was going perfectly. The only thing that they didn’t account for was the mass of smaller spiders. Their bite seemed to give torpor as some of the soldiers were knocked unconscious if bitten to many times. Their bodies were protected by the riders on the Rexs. Bruce fought. And fought. And fought. ‘How many freaking spiders are there?’. Suddenly Bruce noticed an opening in the horde of spiders to the Broodmother. Larry and Vyker noticed too. They charged at the mother and Larry fired his gun. The projectile hit the Broodmother and it turned around, anger burning in its eyes. It opened its mouth and spat green balls at Larry and Vyker. Vyker dodged. Larry was hit. His armor melting off his skin. Bruces mind scream in horror. The man that introduced him to the city, the dinosaurs, Barney for crying out loud was dying. Bruce fought with a rage that burned inside his heart. He slowly got to Larry as he lie there. But the spider over took Bruce and started to take him down to a similar demise as Larry.

(Sorry for the chapter being a bit dark but not everyone can live. I’ll start up on the story again. I’ve been a bit busy.)
