I tamed one of these named Diana. She was super fast but kind of stupid: always getting stuck on something. Diana and I formed somewhat of a relationship as time went on. Our bond strengthened she was able to beach a shark for me to kill it. Diana soon became one of my best friends... but nothing lasts forever. As I was leading her back to base via SS Dodo, I noticed a large figure swimming rapidly towards us. Diana made the fatal mistake of not paying attention to her surroundings. I helplessly fire arrow after arrow at it, but it was so filled with rage that they had no affect. I had to watch as MY Diana was ripped to shreds by an oversized fish. That is why my base is now called Fort Diana in honor of the brave soul. Thank you for your time.
Always put a tracking device on your ichthy. I once had an ichthy called mini on mobile, mini was a good tame, she never failed when I needed her, she was the first way I got to herbivore island, she could take me to all the best hunting beaches, but then one day I thought 'hey mini's such a good tame let's see if I can go around the whole island on her' so I tried I was doing well, I'd already got from my home in the footpaw to the sandspit near the red obelisk, but then mini started to get hungry, I went and looked for food for her and found a moschops, but it didn't give me much meat so I decided to go after a gallimimus it escaped, but when I got back to where I left mini she was gone, no death message no gap in my tame list just gone, for months I searched that sandspit for mini, but to no avail, one day a year after I'd lost her I was running low on tame slots, I knew I had to unclaim her, even now when I visit that sandspit I think I see her but I never do. RIP Mini 🐬💗

Chapter 47: Beasts of the Past - Tyrant King
Part 2/2
“Thanks for helping Loki. Now, let’s finish this!”
Maddox began to run backwards, pointing his rifle and shooting another dart at the Rex. Loki did the same once he finished reloading. The Rex let out a furious roar and stomped its foot into the snow, flailing its tiny arms about until letting out a fearsome roar that shook the ground.
ROARRRRR!
Maddox’s finger began to shake on the trigger, and his eyes widened. His body began to shake.
“What’s- happening?” Maddox asked as he began to shake, “I can’t move…”
Loki felt unaffected by this change, however. He took another shot at the Rex and grabbed Maddox by the arm, leading him away from the danger. As Maddox stumbled along and the Rex continued to chase them, Maddox blinked his eyes and shook his head, no longer in shock.
“Ah ha!” Maddox shouted. He aimed his rifle with one arm and shot again. Pew!
The Rex was definitely beginning to get drowsier. Its steps began to grow slower, and its eyelids began to droop. One more stumble, and it began to sway back and forth. Mr. Ma let out a laugh as he shot another dart.
“It’s almost down! Put your all into it kiddos!”
Maddox and Loki reloaded their rifles as quickly as they could, and then they aimed at the Rex, taking one final shot…
As the darts made their target, the Rex let out a bellow of defeat, and collapsed to the ground.
“Ha ha ha! We did it!” Mr. Ma exclaimed in joy. He giddily ran up to the Rex and began to feed it some of the meat he had gathered in the morning. Maddox turned to Loki and gave him a grin.
“Nice,” Maddox turned to Mr. Ma, “Hey can I name him?”
“Yeah sure, go for it.”
Maddox grinned and walked up to the Rex, caressing his jawline.
“I’m thinking… Crusher.”
They spent the next half hour waiting for the Tyrannosaurus to awake and be theirs.
The three walk back to the settlement, Crusher following closely behind. Loki could see Brad and his goons shaking in their boots as they approached town.
“T-T-T-T-REX!” Brad shook as he pointed a crooked finger at Loki. Brad’s goons began to run away, and as Brad tried to run away he slipped and fell into the snow. Brad turned around with wide eyes as the Rex leaned forward and began to smell Brad’s scent.
“Me, Mr. Mo, and Maddox have tamed a Tyrannosaurus to devour anyone who does not listen for the betterment of this camp!” Loki’s voice boomed, “You have all taken things too far… So now it’s time we have the nonsense stop! We won’t let anyone hold us back!”
Everyone seemed to oblige, nodding intensely and sweating profusely. Loki frowned, he right about expected Mr. Ma to put a hand on his shoulder and scold him for being too violent…
But Mr. Ma patted him on the back.
Loki turned around and Mr. Ma smiled at him.
“You were ruthless,” Mr. Ma said with a grin. Maddox smiled and nodded along.
“Yeah, Mr. Ma’s right. That was pretty cool.”

Chapter 47: Beasts of the Past - Tyrant King
Part 1/2
The two quietly snuck up near the Tyrannosaurus, crawling through the snow like soldiers in a violent war. Before leaving they had grabbed longneck rifles and tranq darts, which Dr. Aston had made more after yesterday’s incident.
“So did you ever tame anything in your past times?” Loki whispered curiously. The Tyrannosaurus leaned forward and began assaulting a pack of five Mammoths. It effortlessly tore through all of them, ripping chunks of flesh and leaving nothing but blood and bones in its wake. It surely was a powerful thing.
“Yes. This was definitely one of the harder ones to tame though,” Mr. Ma replied.
“Would you say it’s the hardest?”
Mr. Ma shuddered at his question, his face turning white.
“No. There is certainly something much more powerful and violent than the Tyrannosaurus. Larger too. And its roar… it makes your bones vibrate, and your head hurt.”
“What is it?”
“...You don’t wanna know, Loki.”
Mr. Ma brushed snow off his rifle and aimed at the Rex.
“Prepare to shoot, Loki.”
Loki aimed his rifle as well, and at the same time, they pulled the trigger.
PEW PEW!
The two tranq darts flew through the air and pierced the Rex’s skin. It let out an irritated roar, and turned around, blood dripping from its teeth into the snow. Loki’s eyes began to waver as blood dripped onto his hands.
“It can’t see us, right?” Loki whispered in fear.
Snow poured from the clouds above, and the Tyrannosaurus looked around, its head moving back and forth. One of its eyes looked right at Loki, and he gulped in fear. Yet still, it didn’t seem to have spotted him.
With booming steps, the Rex began to move forward.
Boom, boom, boom! The Rex lifted its foot and was about to step on Loki, when…
Someone grabbed him by the arms and jolted him away. Loki tumbled through the snow, putting a hand on his rifle. It was Maddox! He had a rifle of his own in his hand, and gave Loki the peace symbol.
“You really think I would let you and Mr. Mo do this alone?” Maddox asked.
Loki smiled for a bit, but his smile turned to a frown as the Rex leaned down to eat Maddox. Loki pointed.
“Watch out-”
A dart flew through the air and hit the Rex in the head. It let out an irritated roar and turned to face its attacker. Mr. Ma. Mr. Ma winked at Maddox.
me and my friend were enjoying life we tamed a dolphin and it got stuck so we kept it there for a day but it got kiled by a piranha so we grabbed the gun and started killing people on the streets until elmo pulled up and started shooting our house and it blew up so we turned into batman and yeah the rest is history

Chapter twenty: Old memories.
“What do you mean?” A younger Jay asked. Jack shuffled his feet. “Well, we went to warn Mrs. Lois and…I told them to stay outside the building.” Jack said. “What were you thinking?!? The bombers were targeting BUILDINGS!! And yet you left them outside the building so that the bombs would land on them!! Why didn’t you save them?!?!” Jay screamed, losing his temper. “Well what did you expect me to do?! Run over to them and get bombed as well?!” Jack asked sarcastically. “Well at least you could have done something!” The scene suddenly flashed and Jay is somewhere else. With a man with slicked back black hair, green eyes, and sickly white skin. “I know how you feel. My brother betrayed me as well. Sometimes people do things and we’re left to pick through the rubble.” Tom said. He held out his hand. “Join me and we will build a better world. Together.” Suddenly Jay’s vision flashed again and he was strapped to a bed and so was Sylvia. “Prepare them for brain washing.” Tom instructed, his eyes filled with evil. Then he walked from the room, Jay struggled against the straps holding him back. He clinched his fist and a dagger formed in his hand. Then he cut the straps and bolted from the bed. He looked around for Sylvia. “D-don’t m-o-ove!” A scientist stuttered. The scientist was holding a kitchen knife to Sylvia’s throat. Jay hesitated for a second and then moved. Quicker than a whip Jay threw his dagger and it lodged itself in the scientists throat. The scientist crumpled to the ground. Then a white flash filled Jay’s vision.
Jay woke up sweating hard and his heart thumping more than a beating drum. He was lying on a couch in Autumn’s living room. He took a few deep breaths. He was okay. It had only been nightmares/ old memories. He looked around for Sylvia then sighed thankfully when he saw that she was still lying on the couch across from him. A blanket was wrapped snugly around her. Her face looked free of pain or stress as she slept peacefully. Jay rose quietly and walked over to her. He tucked her hair away from her face then gently shook her awake. “Sylvia, Sylvia. It’s time.” Jay whispered. Her eyes flickered open. Then she reached up and pulled him down for a long blissful kiss. Jay felt as if his heart was melting from love. Finally they broke apart. They gazed, intoxicated into each other’s eyes. “Today’s the day.” Jag whispered. Sylvia broke into a grin. “Today’s the day.” She repeated.
I hope you all are enjoying this series!
