Journey Through All Creatures

Chapter 11: New Allies

Note: Story starts in Achatina, The Island ABC, and has a Prologue. Most chapters have more than two creatures in it. Last chapter in Giganotosaurus, next chapter in Iguanodon.

Section I, Part II begins here, and goes to Chapter 25.

On the dawn of a new morning, the light flowed over a mostly stone, metal-fenced base. It was Sodden’s newly upgraded base. There was a large breeding barn, dedicated to both raptors and Carchas. The barn was to the south of the gates, and stood as the wall between the base and the swamp. Sodden walked out of his base, stretching his arms, and went to the barn. He wore some metal armor, and was holding a bag full of meat that he had got the previous day. He had grinded for two weeks and had managed to get all the way to Level 57. He walked into the barn and poured the meat into the trough that was next to the door and just below the Carcha pen. Sodden tamed the male Carcha he found on the Giga mountain but didn’t get a chance to tame it that day because of the whole Giga thing. But he tamed the Carcha the next day and set up a breeding pen. He then walked to the raptor pen and took out his strongest raptor. He put a ascendant saddle on and hopped on. He ran out of the barn, closed the gates, and ran into the forest. After he left, a group of Rexes came by, with a bunch of people on them. “Oh. He already left. Should we catch him?” Someone said. The people shrugged. The person in the front sighed and said, “Let’s just let him do his thing, then we can talk.” The others nodded. They walked a little bit farther from the base, then hopped off their Rexes and set up a small campsite.

Sodden ran into the Redwoods after some time, ready to fight the monkey. A Gigantopitcheus. He saw one standing in a bush, picking off some berries. He used his spyglass to check the level, and it wasn’t a good level. Sodden whistled for his raptor to attack and then it jumped on the monkey. It screeched, trying to push it off, but the raptor was a very good level and was very well trained. It held the monkey down and kept biting it until it stopped breathing. The death message showed up on Sodden’s implant, and he clapped slowly. Then he got on his raptor and ran in the other direction. When he got back to his base, he saw some Rexes and a group of people there. “Hey! What’re you doing here?” Sodden said. Then someone stood up and walked to him. “Hello, Sodden. My name is Denine, and I am the leader of the tribe Nudon. We live close to the volcano, and neighbor Rod’s tribe. We have come today because we heard from someone who’s trying to escape the Assassin Tribe, or what’s called the C Tribe, that you are on a mission to both kill one of each type of creature across the Arks and also to find and destroy the Assassin Heart. She knows it’s not time for her to leave, so she thinks it’s good to have other tribes assist you.” The person said. “Oh. Hi, Denine. So I see you’ve met my friends. Yeah. It’d be good to have a tribe help me. I’ve got 10 caves to do, so we should probably…” Sodden said. “You don’t need to do all the caves. You can do the easy ones and we’ll take care of the rest. You can join our tribe, so that we have the capability to access your base.” Denine said. “Of course. I’ll do that. Yeah.” Sodden said in hestitation. “We’ll make sure Terad never finds out.” Denine said. “Okay. Yeah. I hope he never finds out. Well, I gotta get the hesperonis checked off.” Sodden said. “Done.” Denine said as she pointed to the left of Sodden, towards a hesperonis waddling away from the water. Sodden turned around and took out his shotgun. He then shot it in the head and it fell over. “Well… I’ve got more creatures to destroy.” Sodden said. “Well, finish it fast because we’re getting ready to go to the lower south cave. You gotta come.” Denine said. Sodden nodded and then walked to the dock, which was to the left of the base. He whistled for his ichthty to come. “You may want to look away while I do this.” Sodden said to the creature. He took out a paper and put it hard on the eyes of the ichthy. Then Sodden held out some raw meat and a itchthy came over. Sodden took out a crossbow and pulled the trigger. After the bow went off, Sodden’s implant dinged with a death message saying that he had killed an Ichthyosaurus. He went out of the water and aimed his crossbow at a nearby ichthythornis. He shot the arrow and it pierced the bird’s wings, and it fell into the water and drowned in seconds. Sodden then took the paper off of his itchthyosaurus and ran to Denine. “Okay, now I’m ready.” Sodden said. “Okay. That base is going to be ours when you join. We will have access to your tames. We will see any and all messages sent by our implant, and any death messages that appear will be seen by everyone.” Denine said. “You will not regret this. I have some great tames in there.” Sodden said as he pointed to his barn. “Well, okay.” Denine said. Then she sent a message to Sodden requesting that he join the tribe of Nudon. Sodden clicked his implant and the request was accepted. Then someone came from behind Denine. “Hey, dude. We’re happy to assist you in… what’re you calling this mission?” The person said. “Yeah… that’s Red. He likes to name every single journey we go on.” Denine said. “Yeah. Your mission needs a name. Not one too obvious, but not too suspicious.” Red said. “Hmm. Well… I am hunting one of each creature. Across every Ark.” Sodden said. “I have the perfect name. The mission is known as: The Journey Through All Creatures. Or in short, the JTAC. We’re happy to assist you in your journey. Now come meet our Rexes.” Red said. He grabbed Sodden’s arm and dragged him to the Rexes standing behind everyone. “The one Denine rides is our strongest Rex. His name is Cato. We named him after the wild Theris.” Red said. “He has a whole storyline with Cato.” Denine chuckled. “Yeah. Once upon a time…” Red said. “Guys! I would love to hear about your story, but we should get going.” Sodden said. “Oh, yeah. Right. Let’s go.” Red said. He hopped on a Rex just behind Cato. “By the way, my Rex’s name is Dread. I named him that because of his little… rampage when he hatched.” Red said. “Okay. I’m going to get my dude.” Sodden said. He ran to the barn and came out shortly after with his Carcha. The group gasped. “I got this dude at Level 25. I did tame another at a lower level, but we don’t think about that.” Sodden said. “Okay. Bring him with us. Let’s do this.” Denine said. “Yeah.” Sodden said. He got on the Carcha and the others climbed onto their Rexes. Then they all walked south through the jungle.

The next chapter will have a cave and multiple creatures in it

Long one coming…
