There was a man on the island. Once, he was a paleontologist, a man fascinated by the past. Now, he only wished that the past wasn’t fascinated with him, particularly his organs. He had heard rumors of a giant predator, larger than a T Rex, but still more meaty than a Spino. That shouldn’t be possible. The scientist could only think of one dinosaur that could fit that description, but even in his time there was much debate on it. One day, he decided he’d find this giant lizard. He mounted his trusted argentavis and headed towards the mountain where this dinosaur was said to live. He suspected the beast would be a giganotosaurus, but even then they shouldn’t be that much larger than a T. rex, or at least not as tough. once he landed on a safe rock on the mountain he realized that his own argentavis shouldn’t be able to be ridden on, shouldn’t be able to carry him, real ones weren’t even this large. Then he looked around and saw the giga. It looked large, but as it came closer he realized it was even bigger, twice the size of any T. rex! He got back on his argentavis and grabbed the reins to the saddle, but just as it took off the man felt a massive maw tear his lower legs off, as well as the argentavis’. The two tumbled towards the ground, the argent immediately dying upon hitting its head on a jagged boulder, the man surviving by landing on the argent’s body. He squirmed his way a few inches before a foot three times larger than himself crushed both him and his argent.
