The Arks: Over Heaven (by Ben)

Chapter 32: The Dex

Part 1/2

Clack!

The door to Warren’s apartment swung open and a sheriff with tired eyes stepped inside. He flicked the switch and the lights hummed to life, lighting the room up. Closing the door behind him, he walked through a door frame and into his bedroom, which had a single, lone bed that could fit one. He reached into his breast pocket and pulled out a book, tossing it onto the bed. Unbeknownst to Sam and Detective Darren, Warren had snuck out that Dodo Tales book after Darren and Sam left the office. It was a simple task, really.

He opened up his wardrobe, switched his uniform out to a pair of pajamas, and snatched the book off the bed, walking off into the living room and plopping down onto the couch. Warren looked up at a stand on the wall. There was a picture of Warren, Sam, and their son Samuel together. Everyone was happy. Sam was carrying a small baby in her arms. He tore his eyes away from the picture and looked at the book that lay in his hands.

The book was called “Dodo Tales”, and there was an emblem of a dodo bird on the front cover. It was old and torn and the cover was as hard as a turtle’s shell. A hardcover book, it felt rigid and leathery to the touch, as if it was made of an animal’s hide.

“So who wrote this book?” Warren wondered as he began to flip through the old, yellow pages. The last page of the book, which typically featured who the author was, didn’t have anything except a list of people and the words, “Thanks”, at the top.

“Huh,” Warren said as he looked at the list. Many of the names were odd and unrecognizable. They were almost like usernames from a video game. But two names were separated from the others that stuck out to him.

“I give my biggest thanks to Bob and the Nazgul, my biggest and best friends on the Dododex! Without their tips, their thoughts, and their stories I would have never made it to where I am now.”

“Interesting names,” Warren thought as he glanced over them, “Isn’t Bob the name of the Vice President? Probably just a coincidence.”

Even if the book was referring to the Vice President, it wasn’t like he would have enough time for interrogation. Neither would an opportunity arise for him at the moment as on the ride home from Terran High he had heard on the radio that Vice President Bob himself would be going out on leave to the Western States of America for a meeting with their president.

But what piqued Warren’s interest the most was the “Dododex”. What exactly was that?

“I should search that up, along with the title of this book. Perhaps I can find the author that way,” Warren thought. But before he could do any of that he still needed to study the rest of the book. He flipped to the first page and noticed the table of contents only contained four “parts” to it. There was also a fifth part, but when Warren flipped to that page he noticed that it was the Thank You page.

“Where is the fifth part?” Warren asked himself. He flipped to the previous page and noticed the last few words at the bottom of the page.

To Be Continued.

The book had never finished.

Warren jumped back to the previous few parts, which seemed to be in fine condition. Although Warren noticed that the seams at these parts of the book were unusually off. It was as if they were stitched together manually.

Warren looked up at the ceiling, and pondered and pondered. What could any of it have meant? Most of these details didn’t matter whatsoever. For all it could have been, this book was just a book that the principal of Terran High really enjoyed reading, and there was nothing to dissect there.

But he still needed to try.

“If I can’t get a lead with one perspective, I will with another. I must find out who wrote this book,” Warren realized. He slammed the book shut and placed it on the coffee table. He got up from the couch and walked over to his desk. A slim, white laptop lay on the desk, produced by technology giant Element Corp.

Opening the laptop up, he fired it up and opened up his browser, gingerly typing “Dododex” on the bar and clicking the enter button. Instantaneously a few thousand results popped up, filling his eyes with thousands of icons of strange egg emblems. He moved his finger along the touchpad and clicked on the link that was most unique. Dododex “Stories”.

Upon clicking the site, his screen faded a teal blue, with a green bar at the top. There was a strange message at the top of the screen.

I was using my argy to transport an anky to mine metal but a THERENZASAURUS came in outa nowhere and I tried to get my anky out of the but he was to hevey for the argy so we all died. A like is respect for Berbs service.

i remember my first one of these on evolved before asended came out his name was talon one day talon me and my freinds were going to tame something i cant remember what and on the way to its habitat he almost died to a troodon and then after a year of playing on that server the person who made it shut it down 2024 comes around and i finally get asended and when i found my first argentavis it looked exactly like talon and i immeadietly tame him and name him talon eventually talon dies to a troodon (kinda ironic) so i decided to taxidermy him and gave him a memorial.its okay to grow attached to a creature in game just like i did with talon my best dino and one of my best pets in all of video games

Vis, oh my beautiful argnetavis

he helped me

He fought for me

He killed a bronto for me

But oh how the times have changed

Murdered by a stupid tyrannosaur Rex :(

I once had an argy that could 1 shot a alpha wyvern I had so many wyvern eggs that I had to start throwing them over a Cliff by my house then one day I tamed a Griffen and had the Argy following me on the Griffen and the Argy got lost and I never saw it again

I had an argy named cookie she was my favorite mount. She has died once and I raised her from the dead. Together we could take down Alpha raptors and Alpha Carnos. I wanted to tame a quetzal so I was going to use cookie for it. Right after I jumped off a griffin came and killed her it hurts me so much that I could of prevented her second death but waiting a few seconds. Rest In Peace cookie I hope I can raise you up again.

Hello there! I have a funny storry to tell :). I was out exploring on scorched earth with my rex and an army of 20 sabers, all being at least lvl 100 with god stats, when i found an argie. Boy oh boy was i happy! It was a M A X. L E V E L and i was excited. Its colors are what make him different! He was ALL BLUE and had some pink. Thats right ladies and gentlemen, MR BEAST HAD BLESSED ME. I named it “Mr. Beast jr” and stuck it into a pokeball (aka cryopod) then i went back to my base and was not disapointed, bc he was litaraly a god, his health? OFF THE CHARTS. Damage? OFF THE CHARTS. His stamina? OFF.THE.CHARTS. I wish you all goodluck on your jurney to find an argie just as special as mine :)

Have a great day/ night!

Once apon a time, in a peaceful ragnorok server, me and my friend decided that our next tame should be an argy! So we gathered all the resources and successfully trapped one, I let my friend have the first one since he wanted it more. He named her Zapdos and was a great help to our small team. I decided that I wanted one too - especially a male - so we could breed them. And so me and my friend trapped another and tamed him up. I named him buckbeak from Harry Potter. He was a great help for gathering our materials, and we went on so many adventures across the whole map. With close encounters with sarcos, allos and even rexes, we felt unstoppable, flying through the sky. Until one day, me and my friend decided to explore the map further. We wanted to fly through the arctic region and through the mountains to see what there was to offer. We killed some dinos for food and set off on our journey. We started flying up and up towards the snow, and without realizing, we began to freeze. We didn’t have any armour to help with this, so we decided to make an emergency landing and quickly make some campfires. Our argys landed next to a frozen river, but we soon realized we were doomed. I froze to death and so did my friend. To this day. Buckbeak and zapdos are still waiting at the top of the mountain, and are still yet to be found. We never saw a death message so we hope they are still alive, they were also set to neutral so they should be able to fend for themselves. Maybe it’s better for them to rest though, but we will continue to search for them. One ^ = one person searching for buckbeak and zapdos

Yay toriel is back I am so happy for the owner of toriel I feel the pain they felt bc my arg called strawberry milk died when I was trapping a Giga to tame it(I did tame the Giga) then I went off of strawberry milk then the Giga killed me and strawberry milk was hit as well so she went and tried to kill the Giga and died she was my fav Dino but revived her :)

So, I was on ARK and I was trying to tame an argy_ shot down a beautiful black and white level 12 male kinda wanted a female but eh I'll take what I get---- once tamed I turn around and see a mystical purple body, pure white wings , black head, misty gray legs, level 120 female-- I did not have the supply's to tame it cause of the first argy so I went back to base to get the stuff and went back-- 😭 found it's corpse under a 250 giga 👁️👄👁️💔

After I tamed a Argie I some how instantly fell in love and thought it was adorable

A song of compys and gigas (chap8)

Bob is nervous. He wants to ask Charlotte out. Only problem Is he has never asked anyone out before. There is only a week left until confederate forces will attack INVs stronghold. But bob focuses on the task at hand. How does he ask Charlotte to go on a date with him? He begins to strategize his plan but then he gets a nock on his door. To his suprise it’s Charlotte. “ hey just wanted to remind you that there is a meeting tomorrow at noon.” She says. “ ok” bob replies. Charlotte turns around to leave but then bob calls after her. “ hey Charlotte!” She turns back around. “Yes?” She asks. “Uhhh I was wondering if you would like to maybe go out on a dodo hunt later on. To discuss plans and stuff...” bob proposes. “Ok sounds good to me!” Charlotte answers back. She then turns and walks back to her raft. Bob is shocked at what just happened. He just asked Charlotte out and she said yes! Now all bob has to do is not screw up this date...

Real pros tame these guys without a trap and do it only with tranqs or fist.

am I the only one who sucks at use traps for litterly every creature, so I fly over the red woods on a peterdon. I find a group of them,. I put down my trap I go and I get one mad a t me and use the tap ase usual. I got to close the door and its free. I eventually gave up on the tarp and just shot them with a cross bpw and some tranqe arrows, only to find out that another group was there to,. they weren't argys they were carnos.

Me and my dad had a ark world on Xbox and we had maxed out and tamed multiple argy's and bred them. We put them in cyropods and threw them out like Pokémon whenever we were in trouble.. Until the buggy caves glitches us through the floor and made us lose all our stuff and argy's.
