Let us delve into the archives once again for today’s lecture. Our subject today is the SCP known as SCP _D23T. This SCP more commonly known as “The Desert Titan” by researchers. This entire species is represented by only a single specimen. The single specimen reaches length of roughly 300 feet and was it Manta ray like wings has a width of roughly 250 feet. This single specimen was found in Egypt, near a strange seemingly worshipping area. It also seems to just appeared as soon as the researchers stepped on a certain area. The specimen seemed to not even fight as it was taken into protection by the researchers. It hasn’t attempted to escape, yet. This is the end of our lecture today. Everyone have a wonderful day.

The Arks: Over Heaven

Chapter 28: Worst. Tame. Ever

Part 2/2

The Kaprosuchus was a sort-of light purple in color, but had burning red eyes. It arched its back like a cat and snarled at the two, preparing to pounce on them. But before it could, Ben snapped his fingers and vines ensnared the Kaprosuchus. It let out a roar of frustration and tried its best to claw and tear away at the foliage, and it seemed like it was making quick work of it. They’d have to act fast.

“I’m running out of plants,” Ben realized as he checked his arms, “I won’t have time to control more. We need to knock this thing out now.”

“Understood, but how? My bow can’t knock it out before it gets free from the vines.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll just knock it out with some knock-out berries,” Ben replied. With what little flora he had remaining, he clenched his fists and concentrated hard. Black berries began to grow all around the vines ensnaring the Kaprosuchus.

“Gary, shoot its tail or something. We need it to open its mouth.”

“Understood.”

Gary aimed his pistol at the Kaprosuchus’ tail and pulled the trigger.

BAM!

The bullet hit home and the Kaprosuchus let out a growl of rage, opening its mouth with rage. Ben’s heart began to race as the vines crawled into Kaprosuchus’ mouth. Two dozen berries began to pour into its mouth, and after that the vines retracted back into the murky waters. Ben let out a gasp, his heart squeezing tightly as he collapsed onto his knees. The Kaprosuchus let out a growl and was going to jump toward Ben, but by now the knock-out berries had taken effect. It fell asleep, falling into the water.

Gary rushed toward Ben, kneeling down to check on him.

“Are you okay dude? I’ve never seen that happen to you!” Gary asked worriedly.

“Yeah. Just my heart. It feels a little numb, I must have overexerted myself,” Ben said, putting his hand over his chest and breathing anxiously, “Ah. That hurts.”

Ben grimaced in pain as he clutched his chest, “Just, feed that thing and we can get out of here, alright? I need- I need a break.”

Gary nodded wordlessly, and he walked up to the Kaprosuchus, gently lifting its head out of the water and onto a nearby rock so that it could breathe properly. Gary took out a few slabs of meat they had harvested from the Sarcosuchus, doing so for the next ten minutes or so…

Soon after, the Kaprosuchus’ eyes jolted open, and it stared at Gary. Gary noticed its soulless eyes and got a shiver down his spine.

“The process is done, Ben,” Gary announced. Ben looked at Gary and groaned as he got up from the murky waters.

“Good. Now let’s get the heck out of here. I’ve had enough of this swamp already.”

The two began to head back to the Book Club’s camp, which was easily identifiable because of its close proximity to the Green Obelisk. On the way there, the two were deciding on what to name their tame.

“I was thinking, perhaps we should name it Blaze,” Gary suggested.

“Blaze huh?”

“Yeah, because it has a fiery spirit.”

“Huh. Not bad. Well I have no complaints, I was never good with names,” Ben chuckled, “But hey, I was wondering if you had a name for this guy’s pet Raptor.”

“Oh, that one?” Gary realized with wide eyes, “Well. It is blue and red, but as much as I’d love to call it Blue I feel like that name is too generic. So I’m thinking of something like Stream. Like a stream of water, that’s what I notice about the pattern.”

“Stream, huh?” Ben said, “Sounds great. I guess I’ll tell Samuel about it.”

Before they knew it, they had reached the newly installed gate of the Book Club’s camp, and the sun was beginning to dip down the horizon.

The Arks: Over Heaven (by Ben)

Chapter 28: Worst. Tame. Ever.

Part 1/2

Ben and Gary continued to wander the writhing swamps, surprised that they hadn’t run into the infamous Kaprosuchus yet. In that book that Skyler was so keen on, the Kaprosuchus in the story was a stalking beast that hid and ambushed its enemies like no tomorrow.

Yet for some reason they still couldn’t find anything.

Gary was twirling his pistol and looking up at the sky. Looked like afternoon, they had been in the swamp for hours already. They needed to hurry things up or it’d turn dark soon. Ben stared into his eyes and noticed a spark of worry.

“You are nervous about something,” Ben observed. Gary looked at Ben with a raised eyebrow, and confusion plastered on his face.

“How’d you know?” Gary asked with wonder.

“Oh, just an old little trick someone taught me way back when,” Ben smiled, adjusting the hibiscus in his pocket. Gary sighed, solemnly looking out into the distance.

“You are right. I am nervous. Well, worried, more than anything. It’s about my sister, Sunny.”

“Sunny? Well what’s bothering your mind?” Ben gently asked with relaxed eyes.

“It’s her implant attribute. Heat manipulation is not combat-oriented,” Gary replied quickly, “It’s not fit for survival here. I’m worried she’s going to get hurt and she won’t be able to defend herself.”

“Well there’s a reason she stays behind at camp and we don’t. Because we’re more fit for the job,” Ben responded.

“But what if one day she has to get into a fight? What’s going to happen then?”

There was a pause in the air, as Ben scratched the back of his head.

“Try not to worry about it, okay? Besides, she’s a tough girl. Just cause she doesn’t have an implant attribute like ours doesn’t mean she can’t fight. I bet ya’ she’s a strong warrior.”

“You’re right on that, she always won in our squabbles back in our childhood,” Gary recalled, “But still. You never know who you can meet out there.”

Gary turned to Ben with a serious look on his face.

“Ben, you’ve got to promise me something,” Gary muttered grimly, “You’re the only one in the Book Club who I can count on. Please. I need you to promise me you’ll ensure Sunny’s safety. If I’m not around.”

Ben looked at Gary, then felt a creeping feeling crawl up his gut, and his vision began to blur. He felt his mind wander and he blinked his eyes rapidly, the memory of what once was echoing within his thoughts.

“I-I can’t make that promise for you,” Ben replied hastily while looking away, “But I’ll try my best. I’ll even help train Sunny. Or at least try, I’m not exactly the best with a blade, but I can teach her a few tricks that someone I used to know taught me.”

Gary sighed, and gave Ben a slight smile.

“Well thanks anyway. I knew I could count on you-”

Suddenly, Gary’s hairs stood up on end and Gary jolted to the side in shock. A giant crocodilian creature had leapt out of the water and almost caught Gary in its jaws, but with Gary’s implant attribute he had dodged just in time. The crocodilian creature had smashed its snout into a nose and let out a cry of fury, turning around and looking at the two spitefully.

“Ah, here we go, another one of those alligator things out to get us,” Gary smirked as he stared the beast down. He took his pistol out and spun the barrel, aiming at its snout. Ben quickly put his hand out to Gary.

“Wait, don’t engage yet,” Ben warned Gary, “I think this is what we’ve been looking for. A Kaprosuchus. It matches the behavior and description of the one in The Obelisk.”

The tale of the shadow phoenixes

Chapter four.

After dinner James and Tom went up to their room. James climbed to the top bunk where he slept. Tom laid on his belly on his bunk and began to read. They stayed in silence for a few moments until finally James broke it. He stuck his head down. “Whatcha reading Tom?” James asked. Tom looked up. “It’s called “magical creatures and things and where to find them”. It’s a good book , you should read it.” Tom said. James smirked. “Rigghht….I don’t think so. I like reading adventure and romance stories like…..”the arks over heavens”. It’s really good, it’s a fiction story about people who were transported to the arks. You know about the arks right?” James asked. Tom nodded. “That was a dreadful time, thankfully that’s over.” Tom remarked. “Yeah but without the arks a lot of things would be different. Remember how dad said out medallions are made from elements from the arks?” Tom nodded slowly. “Yeah, but without the arks we wouldn’t be so….” He trailed off. “Weird, I know what you mean.” James said fingering his medallion.. “Anyways… it’s a really interesting book about strange creatures like… Sirens and Krakos’.” Tom said, talking about the book he was reading. James looked up. “Wait, what’s a Krakos?” He asked Tom. “Well, a Krakos is a beast formed from anger or sadness or both. Basically if a VERY VERY powerful individual lets their emotion overwhelm them they turn into a Krakos. Of course they can turn back into a human but the Krakos will still be controlling them.” Tom said. “What does one look like?” James asked intrigued. “Nobody really knows, they all look different depending on the host. The only similarities between all of them is that they are huge and are black.” Tom replied. “Oh well…goodnight.” James said rolling onto his side. “Good night James.” Tom said.

Protectors of Pandora

Chapter 7 ~king of the dunes~

The fasolasuchus growled at the group, then looked at bones and said “what are you?,” it said angrily, (it has an egyptian accent) “how dare you entrude on MY hunting grounds!.. leave.. or DIE!” The fasola said. “You wanna go eh?! Fine!” Bones roared and lunged at the fasola. “Stupid theropod, you shall drown in the dunes!!” The fasola said. The fasolasuchus dove under the sand, and started circling around bones and the group, churning and spinning the sand, Bones chased after the fasola, but started drifting into the middle of the whirlpool. “Everyone run!” Ceasar said. “Wait! Where’s birch!” The chief yelled. They looked back and saw birch he was knocked out, (remember, the deathworm burst out from under him) he was drifting towards the center of the pool and starting to sink. “I’ll get him!” Jaxz said, flying towards him, the four primates continued running away from the center of the pool, Bones was still trying to attack the fasola, but it was fast, and when he did get a bite, he couldn’t get a good hold on the creatures thick hide, in a fit of rage his eyes glowed and he started roaring furiously, Ceasar and the gigantopithicus finally reached the top of the whirlpool, but the fasola passed by too quickly and they couldn’t get the timing down, the dust in the air was so bad now it was like being in a sandstorm, nobody could even see the fasolasuchus unless it was passing right by them. “Wait?! Do any of you still have those sticky bombs from the desmodus cave?!” Ceasar said. “Just one.” A gigantopithicus said. “Good throw it in the fasolas path!” Ceasar said. “Ohh gotcha!” The gigantopithicus said, he activated the bomb and threw it forwards, they all ran backwards and waited, by pure luck the bomb detonated just as the fasola passed it, the blast stopped the fasola in its tracks, the beast stopped moving for a moment, then got out of the sand, it looked around for a moment dazed, then passed out. “Nice! I think we gave the thing a concussion!” The chief said. “Now run before it gets back up!” Ceasar said. Now that the fasola was unconscious the dust cleared and they could see Jaxz flying away with birch, still unconscious, in his claws, Bones was still roaring and thrashing about in a pure rage. “What do we do about him?” The Chief said. “No idea never seen him like this,” Ceasar said, “wait I might have an idea.” Ceasar went through his bag and got some arrows dipped in a green substance, then unslung his bow and fired a few arrows at Bones, the giganotosaurus flinched as the arrows hit him, then turned, roared, and ran after them.

So when I was level 93 I was ready to fight this thing because I had griffins and wyverns and a ice Titan. Oh do not forget like a hundred dimetrodons sitting there on the ice Titan platform so my eggs would hatch. So when I went in it killed literally most of my griffins except from my level 129.

Bye bye

Dodo tales (S2 Ep4, the last Ep's are in the previous sections)

They sat on the hill as the sun went down, hearing screams and artillery fire.

At this point the town was basically a smoldering pile of ash.

"I cant take it anymore!" Jerry yelled.

"We have to get out of here"

So they left, leaving behind the town that their enemy's had laid waste to.

* * * * * *

"Welcome" the cloaked man said, as they stepped inside his Adobe home.

"What can we call you?" Asked Rick

"What can I call you?" The man replied

"I'm Rick, this is Jerry, and this is Ares. Oh and here's Eden." He looked around.

"Nevermind" he said sadly.

"Something...bad happened to him"

"Anyway, you can call me Loki, it's not my real name, but that's what people call me" the man said

"I can see why" whispered Ares

"I know why you're here" Loki told them

"I know who's coming...he was an old friend of mine you know"...

Chapter 1

- The Nazgûl (there will be 3 or 4 more after this lamprey)

There were bodies everywhere. Bodies of there fallen friends from abberation.

“What happened?” Jennifer asked.

“I don’t know.” Spark answered.

Then he saw a book on the ground. He picked it up.

“It’s Jenny’s”. He said.

He opened it to read.

“If you three are reading this, that means something went wrong. However, I will not stick with dark thoughts. Today is our first day on earth, but we are being watched. Everyone must be careful we are not spotted doing anything. We have merely been on earth an hour or two and have had some close calls. We- they are screaming outside. We are under attack. The robots spotted us. We-“

“They were attacked by the robots patrolling around here. They lasted seconds once spotted. We need to be very careful. Guess we have to stick to the shadows to survive.” Spark said.

Doubt was beginning to creep into both of their minds. Could coming to the one planet they knew to be a life supporting planet become they death?
