Dodo tales (Ep9 S1) did anyone expect what happened in Ep8? It was pretty dark, but important for the story.
When Rick fell asleep (which took like 2 minutes) Jerry ran out of the house, And started walking, well it was more of limping.
He kept walking until he found a cave, and it looked like someone lived in it, It even had a door. He decided that he would go in, because it could be owned by a medic. The entrance was dark, with candles as the only light source, and there was a clean red carpet covering the entire floor. There were pictures on the wall of men who he had never seen before. The house looked like the setting of a horror movie. Finally, he came to a room with the door slightly open, he peeked through and, to his surprise, he saw a man talking. He sounded angry, and he didn't look like a medic. Then, he saw him, his Dodo! He wanted to tell the man it was his, when he realized that only meant one thing:
The Raptors weren't wild.....
The Obelisk
-sorry guys! Turns out a few chapters ago I accidentally put in two chapters with the title of “Chapter 7” so last episode I had it on “Chapter 8 I think” but it was really chapter nine so this is chapter ten!
-Chapter 10 👌😆-
“So where are we gonna go?”
“I’m not sure. Where are we now?”
Spark trekked by Forest, stamping her tback talons over wet grass. “We’ll, right now we’re in the broken meadows. We could go to the dark forest.”
“What’s that?” Forest asked.
“It’s the forest of many names,” Spark said. I have no idea which one is the original. “There’s too many to name count. I just call it the dark forest. Full of redwood trees. Lots of carnivores, too. We could go there!”
“Hmm,” Forest said. “What about the swamp?” He asked. “I heard good stories about that place.”
“The swamp is full of carnivores too, but also very dangerous creatures.” Spark explained, walking by a boulder. “Then again, it is really close. We could go through and then make way for the dark forest.”
“Alright,” Forest said.
Just then a feathered dinosaur, about Forests age, tumbled out of the bushes.
He wore a mischievous look on his face and struggled to his feet, clutching a chunk of meat in his talons. He laughed breathlessly, then spotted Forest and Spark. “Oh! Please don’t kill me.”
“You’ll regret that!” A voice shouted behind them, crashing through the bushes. The feathered creatures’ eyes widened and he flicked Spark with his tail. “Help me hide,” he gasped. “Help me or I’m screwed! As in dead!”
One day, I tamed a lvl 300 (max lvl in my server) arthropleura. I had so much fun time with that dude. But it ended, when I went into the Yeti cave in with my arthro (now named Crimson Stalker) It was all fine, but there was a blockage of Dino’s right there at the artifact. I attacked, hoping they would move. They only attacked once. That’s fine, but all of them attacked once as well. With all the damage I took, Crimson Stalker died. I was in despair. And with that, I stole the implant, desperate to revive it (I was on mobile) I died as well, but my server was casual so I kept the implant even after death. I tried to revive it, but I didn’t have enough amber. I was so sad. But then I realized, I was a premium. I had the monthly loot drop, which gave me 25 Amber and other items. I received that amber, and immediately revived Crimson Stalker. It was awesome! But then, it hit me like a brick. Once arthropluera are revived, they lose the ability for all creatures to de-aggro on it. It was a waste of amber to revive Crimson Stalker, but I didn’t regret it. It was a waste of my time slots too, but then again, I was just happy to see Crimson Stalker back again. I missed that dude, afterall.
The end. I hope you enjoyed my story, thanks for listening.

Season 1 - Episode 11
Deborah’s words still haunted Andromeda on the way back to the Sand Clan’s base. Was what she was saying true? Andromeda wasn’t sure. What she did know though was that Sand Clan couldn’t be trusted, regardless of whether or not Deborah was telling the full truth.
It was beginning to turn night.
While they were riding on their Gallis, Blake turned to Andromeda with a raised eyebrow.
“Something on your mind? You’ve been awfully quiet ever since we left Phoenix Clan’s base,” Blake asked her. Andromeda looked at Blake with an almost sneer, but quickly stopped herself. She wanted to be as discreet about her departure as possible.
“Look. I didn’t ask to be placed on this island,” Andromeda snarled, “I just want to get out of here and go back home.”
“Don’t we all,” Blake chuckled, “Didn’t Steve already tell you? There’s no going back home. This is our new home.”
Andromeda turned away. He had not forgotten what Steve had said. She was certain that was one of the things Sand Clan hadn’t lied about. She didn’t know how to feel about it though.
“If you ever need someone to talk to you have me,” Blake told her.
“Why do you care though?” Andromeda asked, annoyed, “We’ve barely met.”
“Because… I…” Blake paused, and didn’t continue. Andromeda scoffed.
“Just leave me alone. We aren’t friends.”
-
Eventually, Andromeda and Blake reached Sand Clan’s base. There were a few guards posted at the front door of the building, and they parted ways for them. The two hopped off their gallis and they entered the building. Inside, John and Steve were waiting for them near the obelisk terminal. Andromeda noticed that Steve seemed to be explaining something to him.
Steve turned to face the two, and so did John.
“Oh hello. You two finally made it back. How’d it go?” Steve asked. In the dark of the night he seemed even meaner than usual.
“It went well. They have mostly desert-based tames. Mantises and thorny lizards, mostly. They’re pretty weak actually. I think we can take them on in a fight,” Blake said.
“Perfect. You did great, Blake. Andromeda wasn’t dead weight was she?”
“What the hell?” Andromeda thought, “I was the only one who did any work.”
“She wasn’t. She pulled her own weight,” Blake told him. Andromeda didn’t say a word.
“Perfect. Well I wanted to say that John was an amazing member for our rankings,” Steve complimented John, placing a hand on his shoulder, “I heard he was a natural out there. The rexes are still being fed, but we think that they’ll be done taming by tomorrow morning. He weaved and dodged, and didn’t even get scared by their roars. Who knows, maybe he’ll even surpass you in rank Blake.”
Steve and Blake let out loud laughs, and John grinned. But Andromeda couldn’t help but notice his discomfort.
After Steve stopped laughing, he looked back up at the others.
“Anyway. You two have your rooms out there. There’s a bunch of huts down below behind this hill. Those are where you sleep and hang out. You’ll be sharing a hut. Good night.”
Steve and Blake left the building, but Blake turned back.
“Andromeda if you ever need a place to stay there’s mine. It’s really nice.”
Blake left the door open, leaving Andromeda and John alone.
“Let’s go to the huts now,” John said, walking off. Andromeda suddenly grabbed him by the arm.
“Wait,” Andromeda declared,
“We need to talk.”

Chapter 8
“Max, wake up! Lieutenant Liu got an announcement to make about the Kraut.” Max looked at the bright sun shimmering in the sky, then he got up and rushed over with his rifle. “John figured out that this Kraut is just a recruit and is useless.” Liu said. Then he continued “So, we’ll just give him a quick death, by the firing squad I arranged yesterday.” Paul’s eyes widened as he listened, his whole body trembling. “No! Don’t kill him!” Max said in the crowd, standing out. “Shush Private! You don’t tell me what to do.” Liu said as he whispered something in Jacobs ear. He nodded and took out his rifle, aiming toward Paul. “I said don’t!” Max exclaimed as he jumped in front of the rifle, just when Jacob shooted.
“Medic! We need a medic!” Andrew said as he rushed next to me. “Where am I hit?” Max said weakling. Andrew looked around his body. “Your right shoulder, and what were you thinking?” Andrew asked. Before Max could answer, the medics put him on the stretcher and took him to the medical tent. “Hang on there Max, I’ll put morphine on you.” Jack said as he gave him morphine. Then everything faded black. Max opened his eyes, it was already sunset. “Ah, Private your awake.” Sergeant-Chief Kyle said. Max just looked at him. “Lieutenant Liu said you will be put to court martial when we get out of this island.” Kyle said.
“Is Paul alive?” Max asked, looking at his arm. “Well yes, a lot of them protested to not shoot after you were shot at.” Kyle continued, “What’s so important about that young Kruat that you jumped in front of him?” Max could remember when he served in the German army during World War 1 when he was 13, he remembered his German comrade being stabbed by a French soldier just at the age 15.
“Because I’ve been through what he has.” Max replied firmly. In fact, Max was the last ever soldier in the 13th-infantry division. Kyle nodded. “Well, can you move your arm?” He asked. “Not a lot.” Max replied, moving his arm slowly. “You got guard duty for tonight, so you better get to your foxhole.” Kyle said, then he left the room. Max got up and rushed to his foxhole. “What did Kyle say?” Andrew asked as Max sat down. “I’ll be put to court martial.” Max replied back. “Anyways, while you were gone I got this monkey.” Andrew said proudly as he holded up a whitish black monkey.
“Ooh AH!” The monkey shouted. “His name is junior!” Andrew added. Max just smiled. “Andrew, what’s that?” Max whispered as he pointed at something moving in the bushes. “Probably just some of those monkeys, there’s a lot around this area.” Andrew replied as he pointed to a monkey in a tree. “No, the trees are shaking.” Max said as he narrowed his eyes. Andrew looked around as well. “Meh it’s probably a-” “ROAAR!!!” A large Rex came bursting out of the tree. It’s the Krauts!” Max shouted. Soon the bushes were filled with Krauts charging. “Für das Vaterland!” The German troops shouted.
“Andrew! Max! Fall back, we’ll cover you!” Hayden shouted. Andrew and Max quickly got out of their Foxhole and hurried to the trenches. Then Rage came out, roaring back with Jacob riding it. “No, Jacob!” Kyle shouted. There was no way a Carno was gonna beat a Rex. “Don’t worry! I got a pack of raptors!” Jacob replied as he charged through to Rex. Indeed there was, a pack of 12 raptors came bursting from behind, ripping off pieces of Krauts. “YARGH!” A German troop grunted. “Ziehen Sie sich nicht zurück! Laden Sie weiter auf!” Their Officer shouted. “Max! Watch out!” Andrew shouted as a Kraut came, trying to stab Max. Max fired at the German soldier. His body soon came tumbling down.
It was his childhood friend.

Pandora
• Chapter 7 •
Bria was still smiling as the others talked. Forn swished his tail in the air and gestured for the others lightly. “Let’s head back to the palace,” He said.
“I can’t wait to get back to my den,” Greenland sighed to himself.
The others were about to go when Bria felt a cold feeling run down her spine. Her pupils wavered as she paused in confusion, and Skua glanced back at her with a puzzled look.
Behind them, Twister turned his head slowly, looking at the sky behind the group. “Uh…”
There was a sound of heavy wingbeats. A faint honking, screeching noise filled Bria’s ears and she whipped around alongside Forn to the source of the sound, her eyes narrowed in apprehension.
A few moments of nothing passed. Then several shapes emerged from the clouds, honking loudly. A sense of panic enfolded over each Wyvern as the mob gradually flew towards them in a mass of wings and tails.
“Quetzalcoatluses!” Forn roared.
The Wyverns fumbled in the air and Bria reared backwards before turning and flying in the opposite direction, followed by the rest of the group.
The creatures let out loud and piercing bellows as they got closer to the Wyverns, and Forn lifted his head to yell out. “Dive, dive!”
Skua, who was right ahead of Bria, glanced back and let out a startled yell, her wings faltering.
Just then the mob caught up with them, Quetzals and Tapijaras flying past. Bria reached Skua quickly as they were engulfed and she shoved the Ice Wyvern downwards with her talons. Skua dropped into a dive with the others and Bria watched them glide down towards the forest.
She flew on as the heavy bodies of Quetzals flew past her, their wings and talons nearly smacking into her and pushing her out of balance. She flapped her wings and shifted left and right, practically stuck in place as the mob forced its way around her. She snapped at a Tapijara as it sped onwards, completely oblivious to her. Then she folded her wings in quickly and dove.
~
Pandora rushed out of the cave and looked up, her eyes widened in worry. A flock of creatures emerged from over the forest, soaring far above the kingdom in a messy and panicked form. Wyverns below all looked up as well, expressions confused and distraught.
Pandora’s eyes darted around the mass as they flew on, soon enough disappearing behind the mountains and to the coasts of Vardiland. She scuffled slightly on the stone path, watching the last of them disappear.
~
Bria crash landed on the top of a large pine tree that bent under her weight and creaked loudly. She gasped softly, trying to catch her breath as she looked up at the others perched on the trees as well.
Twister’s eyes were still lit with adrenaline as he blinked. “Holy–”
“Crap,” Skua finished breathlessly.
“Profanity, everyone,” Greenland pleaded with tired exasperation, closing his eyes.
“What was that all about?” One of the other hunters asked, his tail lashing nervously.
“We can’t be sure.” Forn said. “They were probably flying away from something, though.”
“I’m not exactly keen on finding out what that could possibly be,” Greenland said.
“Hopefully it’s nothing,” Bria suggested. Her heart was still hammering fast in her ribcage from the trepidation, her body slowly trying to calm itself back down.
“We’ll keep an eye out, though,” Forn said, rubbing the top of his head with one wing. “Someone will need to inform Izzabee of this as well, if she hasn't already seen the mob by now. I’ll do that.”
“Then quick, let’s get going already,” Twister said.
They lifted their wings one after the other and flew to the palace, dropping off what prey they had caught and going separate ways. Bria stood in place at the stone entrance as Forn left to look for Izzabee.
“Guess I’ll see you tomorrow, then,” Skua said from a few paces behind.
“Yeah.” Bria said. “It was fun getting to know you,” she added.
Skua smiled and said a few words of departure, before she was off, and Bria turned around to go find her sister.
***
The air felt colder, more comfortable, as midday ended and the sun began to lower from its high point in the sky. Clouds gathered around, carefully snaking around the sun as if trying to hide the fact they were there. Bria heaved herself up the stone path and called into the entrance of her home. “Pandora! I’m back, did you see those–”
“I’m over here,” Pandora said.
Bria twisted her head around to see her sister in the shade of the rocks, padding over with light talonsteps. “Hi,” Bria greeted her. “Did you see that mob that flew over past the kingdom? We nearly got caught in it.”
“I know,” Pandora said plainly. “You need to be more careful.”
“Of course, sister,” Bria said with a rambunctious look, scrunching up her snout in confidence. “I’m too fierce to get hurt, don’t worry.”
Pandora nodded her head slightly.
“You want to, um, show me that rock now?” Bria asked her.
She nodded again, her claws tapping on the ground. “Yeah. It’s somewhere by the river.”
Bria smiled and went to follow her as Pandora unfolded her wings and flew off the ground. She didn't fly like a Wyvern did. Even how her wings moved was different from anything Bria had known.
(25/04/2025)bro i was playing old ARK mobile [new one is to heavy to my device] and i was taking my arthro Smidivorg to the easy South cave but my game has a bug and while my argy was caring him and he stayed like 1 or 2 M away for argy legs, so i was fearful for droping him during the fly so i dont test Smidvorg
welcome to the first volume of:
i loathe this creature!!
today's episode will cover the arthropleura!!
now lets get on with it shall we
I enter one of the caves (i forget which) with my trusty Baryonyx to grab some chitin, as I had already collected the obelisk. I go through the usual routine, murdering araneos, burning scorpions, massacring beetles, the usual. Then, I see that my chitin chestpiece had broken "What? How!?" I say to myself. I turn around to see this hellspawn looking back at me. I freak out and blow it's brains out with a longneck rifle, when it's FRIENDS show up and start pelting me with.. ACID!?!?!?
I immediately mount my baryonyx and floor it out of the cave, lucky to be alive.

Chapter ten.
“You okay Emma?” Jay asked noticing her blood shot sleepy eyes as the Petersons ate their breakfast that morning. Emma yawned. “Yeah, I’m okay. I didn’t sleep well last nigh, I had weird nightmares.” She said. “We’ll you better perk up, bc y’all have school today!” Arianna said. “What?!” Emma, Jack, and Jay exclaimed. Arianna smiled. “Yes, but you will still have your regular lessons that me and your father teach.” Emma sighed. “How will I ever stay awake in school?” Emma asked herself. “”Me and your father will be starting our new jobs and in my new job, Josephina and Jaquin will be staying with me since they’re not old enough to go to school.” Arianna said. Just then the doorbell rang. “I’ll get it.” Aragorn said quickly before anyone else could volunteer. He opened the door to see Andrew. “And who are you?” Aragorn asked coldly. “Uh…I’m… uh…um…a…Andrew. I came to show…uh… your kids the way to…to the school.” Andrew said nervously. Aragorn frowned at Andrew. “Okay…they’ll be ready in a few seconds.” Aragorn replied and slammed the door in Andrews face. A muffled “ow!” came from the other side of the door. Aragorn turned around to see all of his children except Jaquin and Josephina(they were not interested) gaping at him. “What’s your problem?” Jay asked. Aragorn did not say anything but out of the corner of his eye he glanced at Emma. “Hurry up kids, school.” Arianna said, shooting Aragorn a look. Jack, Jay, and Emma headed out the door, bidding their parents goodbye. As they left Aragorn watched Andrew with narrowed eyes.
Another chapter coloring soon! 😉

Chapter five: History’s Mark.
Mars followed Ares through the forest. Both of them running without stopping. “Where are we headed?” Mars asked. “Greenland! It’s a small campground where my tribe lives. It’ll take a while too get there though.” Ares replied. “Why’s that?” Mars asked. “Well, we have too sneak back through The Alpha Tribe’s domain.” Ares replied. “The Alpha Tribe? What’s that?” Mars asked. “The Alpha Tribe is the biggest tribe on the island! It’s leader is the richest person on the island.” Ares replied. Mars and Ares stopped for a break next too a cliff. “Who’s the leader?” Mars asked. “Anorak. Anorak is the leader of the alpha tribe. With two brute humans as his generals. FoxFace and Ian Might.” Ares shuddered. “Ian Might? The famous billionaire? FoxFace? Isn’t that the username of the YouTuber with the most Subscribers?” Mars asked? “Yup! They were very famous way back when….” Ares replied. Both of them started running along the cliff line again. “Who’s the leader of your tribe?” Mars asked. “Our tribe, The Beta Tribe is lucky too have Erik March as our leader! With Max Silver as second in command!” Ares said happily. “Erik March is a Billionaire too right? Max Silver is a really famous writer!” Mars exclaimed. “Really famous people keep showing up on this island. But they all have one thing in common. They all did something too offend the President! Both billionaires were presidents once! They both beat Ian Ghost in votes too become a president sometime! (they were presidents at different times) FoxFace Passed Ian Ghost in subscribers, And Max Silver… well, he’s Max Silver!” Ares said. “That’s weird.” Mars said. “Here we are! The border for The Alpha Tribe Domain!” Ares said as he stopped at the edge of another cliff.

Chapter nine
“Get off of me you pest!” The Theriznosaurus hissed. The Mesopithecus hopped off of the Theriznosaurus and landed in the middle of the table. “I was merely trying to reach the ceiling. You buffoon!” The Mesopithecus yelled. Ember Black who had just noticed the chaos dropped the hunk of meat he was eating to stare at the two herbivores fighting. “Why do you want too reach the ceiling?!” The Theriznosaurus asked while pulling the mesopithecus off her head. “Well most of you creatures are freakishly tall! And I’m very very small. So if you were very very small, and all the other creatures around you are freakishly tall, wouldn’t you(who is very small) want too climb up too a high place too see over the heads of all the freakishly tall creatures?” The mesopithecus asked. “Wh-what?” The Theriznosaurus asked clearly confused. “I said, most of y-“ The mesopithecus started to say. “We don’t need you too repeat your rhymes Ian!” Dawn said. “Ian?” Buddy asked. “Yes, the monkey’s name is Dr. Ian. He’s a doctor, an Physician, a Psychologist, an inventor, an expert on creating hallucinations, and a pain in the rump.” Dawn said quietly. “A doctor? Interesting…” Ember said quietly. “We may have uses for you.” Ember murmured. Ian climbed up one of the walls and sat on a beam in the ceiling. Buddy looked up at Ian who at the time seemed to be talking too himself. Buddy heard words like ‘tall’ and ‘fall.’ “What’s the Theriznosaurus’s names?” Buddy asked Dawn. “Her name is Terenzey, she’s VERY easily frightened. But she is also very kind… unless provoked.” Dawn replied quietly. “SILENCE!” Ember shouted. Once all the talk had died down. Ember started speaking again. “We must get you all prepared to go to Allosaurus Island. Which is the island that the Kong Estate is on. Now you must be sent too the cleaning rooms, where you will be stripped of all things that could relate too anyone recognizing you.” Ember said. “Cleaning?” Buddy gulped.

*SWOOSH*
A plated tail whips around back and forth on sone bushes, magically destroying the bushes, Davey seems to be riding Steggy, whilst Marion, on Que (the parasaur) trying to help by picking berries off bushes as well.
Marion had died a handful of times, knowing that he should be more careful and he can live practically infinitely, Davey had also experienced the “you die you learn” experience as well.
“Do you think we should be using agriculture? It seems nice for kibble and berries and plant species…” Marion asked while wandering off with his words. “Mayyyybe, but not right now” Davey responds mysteriously with his head turned back on Marion and still collecting bushes, both of them kept silent and continued their work
Both of them got otters, and they both had a lot of metal, both having longnecks and tranq darts. They were both level 70 (or the level to get tranq darts + 10) and were overly confident, spotting a rhynio or two in the swamp for leech blood and maybe a frog one time, (long time has passed of me not posting so they had some “offline work” you know?) they had rexes, one named Tamerank for Davey, and XDDCC for Marion, Davey still Is horribly confused for naming it like that.
Back at base
“So, what now?” Marion asks, Davey responds with “how about we become sone farmers, y’know?”

Chapter 9
Nash flew out of the cave, putty stuck on his claws, “this stuff is gross” he said, awkwardly shaking it off his claws as he flew “ya it’s gotta be sticky to work eh?” The gigantopithicus chief said. “I guess, but seriously how do I get it off?!” Nash replied. The chief just laughed. “So how’d you big smelly apes, no offense, get sticky grenades?” Nash asked “we used to be tames of the tribe “ape men” before they fell to those Olympus blokes, and we still have some of their stuff.” The chief replied. “oh I see, tell me. why wasn’t this the original plan?” Nash said. “We gigantopithicuses aren’t really the planin type.” The chief said.
“So what’s your name? or should I call you gigantopithicus from the shadows” Caesar asked. “Names Darrel, mate, what’s yours” Darrel said “Caesar” he answered. “How’d you get a weird name like that? No offense” Darrel said “I was a tame.. labrat more like it, the “great tribe of Olympus” experimented on me, trying to make an elixir that could improve intellect, it worked, but it only worked on me for some reason, the others all.. died.” He said sadly. “Oh,” Darrel said, “so why did they call you Caesar?” “They named us all after some tale from their world, about intelligent apes that took over the world.. humans are.. strange..” Caesar said “aye I can agree to that I was a tame as well,” Darrel said, “they used us to fight their pointless battles. until Olympus got em, we escaped and made our own troop, we still have some of their stuff like those bombs, your friend just put up there.” “Ya wonder what the plan is with those..” Caesar said
Drain and Phasma were still fighting both bruised and bloodied by the bout “your nothing Drain, and you will die here.” Phasma said. “And you, Phasma are a waist of blood.” Drain said. Phasma yelled and lunged at drain, but drain leapt out of the way, he went invisible and as Phasma was looking around to find him, Drain grabbed a broken stalactite, Phasma saw the weapon to late, and Drain plunged it into his chest. “long live the count.” Drain whispered. And with a last gasp Phasma fell dead. The crowd, filled with anticipation from the battle, bursted out in cheers. “ALL HAIL COUNT DRAIN” they said. Drain held up one fist in victory, and the cheers grew louder. One of the bats in the audience wasn’t cheering, he flew away towards the prison guards office (a small cave cut into the rock wall, near the prison itself) it was also jaxz’s home, Jaxz grabbed Caesars bow, quiver, and bag and flew up to the prison he started unlocking all the cells, when he got to the cell that held Caesar, Darrel, and the other mesos, he threw Caesars things to him. “Why free us?” Caesar asked. “I’m not living under that fool, Drains rule, you inmates are my escape diversion, after that.. I don’t know.. just get outa here.” Jaxz said. “That’s not a great plan..” Caesar said. At that moment an ape- like battle cry rang out “TO BATTTLE MEN.” the chief called, the troop ran into the cave, yelling, and hooting, with spears and axes. The desmodus, shocked, and confused by the sudden turn of events, flew into the air in an attempt to figure out what was happening. The chief pulled out a detonator and pushed the button then discarded the detonator, the bombs blew with a resounding boom, and stalactites fell from the ceiling, the bats, completely confused at this point, flew around in a panicked swarm, Jaxz flew into the safety of Caesars cell, some of the desmodus were fighting the incoming troop and some were trying to avoid falling debris, the battle was brief, with most of the surprised desmodus getting hit by falling stalactites, or by spears thrown by the gigantopithicuses, and the others falling in battle to the small but skilled troop, the battle was won with minimal casualties, most of the former inmates ran for the cave entrance, except Caesar, Darrel, Jaxz, and Ron “nice job guys” Nash said flying in. “Thought it’d be more of a challenge to be honest, guess we really confused them eh” the chief said laughing. “good work Nash!” Said Ron. “Yes nice work indeed.” Said Caesar. “Boys! Thanks for coming back for ol Darrel!” Darrel said to the troop. “Of course we did.” one of the apes said. “Never leave a gigantopithicus behind!” Another said. “Wait we’re missing one where’s Ping!” Caesar said, they all looked around, then Drain came out from behind the pillar in the center of the room, Ping in claw, he held him up for them to see, “looking for something?” He said with mock concern. “Heh heh hi guys..” Ping said. “Oi drop the little kairuku!” Darrel said. “oh this? No no no I think I’ll have him as a little snack before i kill you all” he said eerily. “Wait.. SnAcK?!?” Ping cried, “I’ll show you snack!” Ping said he then swung towards Drains face, and.. well without going into detail, did something gross on him. Drain fell back, with a yelp of confusion and disgust, he dropped Ping, who started running towards the others, he was stopped in his tracks as Drain jumped in front of him “how dare you!” He said. Ping stepped back in fear, right on the detonator. A bomb that hadn’t blown went off right above them, and a huge stalactite, which was already about to fall, fell, Ping leapt out of the way, and Drain only had time to look up before his end. “Did I do dat?” Ping asked.
