ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion

Chapter 2

The Slaves and the Dictators

“I’m pretty sure that, according to your recent actions towards Moonshot, you teleported the Rex to safety.” The guy on the Giga said. “Yeah, but, Truman, the Rex won’t be enough for the Acro,” Melvin said. “MAN!!! LOOK HERE!!! I have argued with you that the Acro is not real. And even if he was real, he doesn’t sound that bad.” Truman said. “Dude. When he spawned on an island, all 25 tribes on that island were wiped out in less than a day!” Melvin said. “Man, if you don’t stop throwing stupid lies and hoo-hoo around, I will triple your sentence in the barn!!” Truman said. Melvin growled in anger and looked away.

Their base was in the volcano. They had taken over half the caves on the island, including the underwater ones. The people on the Gigas were terrible, but the leaders were millions of times worse. It was as if you multiplied the number of powerful dictators in the world by 100 quadrillion and tripled their control over the world. That was a lot like their 10 dictators. Feron, Dallon, Dullon, Rappon, Tradon, Satanic, Gigadon, Ripper, Core, and the most powerful of them all, True Reaper. Their goal: destroy all females and take over the ARK. And not just the island. There are multiple islands throughout the world, and they want to take over it all. Melvin was their most hated slave ever. Melvin was tortured, sent to the barn thousands of times, and called Man because they thought he was going to be the one. Almost everyone in the tribe wanted to be in Moonshot or Sundown. But they were either killed because they were females or made slaves because they were males. No one in the tribe likes their conditions, not even a little bit. They were all forced to do it. But the one person who hated it more than anyone else was Melvin. “So Man is going to the barn for 30 hours. Classic. As usual, he tries to stop us. I’m not surprised.” Feron said. He grabbed Melvin by the arm and threw him into a door. It was the barn. The barn was a breeding ground for their Giganotosauruses. But the eggs are grueling to hatch, and it’s even worse trying to find the right conditions for it. Melvin grabbed a container of oil and poured a few gallons into each incubator. Then, Feron came in and threw Melvin across the room. “That’s too much, stupid. It says 7 quarts each, not 7 gallons. I know what you’re trying to do. You’re trying to kill the eggs to destroy our army. That’s 5 extra hours for you.” Feron said. Melvin nodded and ran towards the air conditioners to empty them. Feron ran out of the barn. Then 8 pairs of Gigas laid some eggs. Melvin smashed half of them before Feron ran in. “YOU!!! That’s 20 extra hours!!!!!!!!!!” Feron screamed. He left the barn, and Melvin destroyed the rest and left one. He put a teleporter on it and quickly wrote a message. “Katniss, please take this egg. It’s come from a male Giga with 35,000 HP, 890% melee, and 900% movement. And a female Giga with 30,000 HP, 900% melee, and 915 movements. This is critical in helping me escape. Do not let it die out. Please be careful.” Melvin said. He pressed the button on the teleporter. “Where did that go?” Feron sneered in a deep voice. “Uh… somewhere in the wetlands?” Melvin said. “Where did that go!?” Feron yelled. “I teleported it to Moonshot!” Melvin said. “That’s it. You treat the barn as an excuse to send them gifts. All the stupid teleporters you always use to, and I quote, “raid Moonshot and kill their survivors and tames”. But no. You’ve sent them over 50 Giga eggs in the past week. Only 1 is hatched right now, and my team is going to get him and kill whoever survivor you said was going to take the egg in. Who is it and what are her stats?” Feron sneered. “I’m not telling you!” Melvin yelled and ran at a Giga. He used the implant to quickly set him on aggressive, turn on wandering, and unclaim him! He drained a quarter of her health with an ascendant longneck rifle and used a grappling hook to run away. “NO! Man, get back here now! MAN!!!! MAN, YOU NEED TO KILL THEM ALL!!!!” Feron yelled. “Stop calling me Man! I don’t want to kill girls or be a slave! And remember that I killed Neddy weeks ago!” Melvin yelled. He teleported away. Neddy was Melvin’s Mesopitcheus. Or, used to be. A few weeks back, Melvin was almost forced to kill Journey, and in an act of protest, he killed his shoulder pet, Neddy, even though he was sent to the barn. “Dictators, send in 3 Titanosauruses and 20 Gigas and have them attack Moonshot. Melvin needs to be back here. Find this girl and keep her alive until we figure out what she is. She has something we don’t know about.” Feron said. He teleported out of the barn as the rage Giga attacked the other Gigas and destroyed the barn.
