this is a story of a brave and courageous megalo: melon
i tamed melon at level 135 he was perfect, i tamed him in safe waters, he helped me alot with killing other sharks and even a leedsichthys!
when he was level 187 i took him out for a run, it went great! i collected alot of prime fish and tamed another megalo level 100, it was fine... i guess but still melon was my favourite!
anyways, he was good for pvp underwater, i ran into a guy on the plesiosaur, and killed him easily.. his plesiosaur was only level 90 or something, but melon took it out! especially with the bleed, took a lot of damage, but melon was fine, so i took him out to gather pearls.
i got 2000 pearls before stopping, and i even got a deep sea drop with a apprentice megalodon saddle, the saddle was good, then i went to look for a tuso, cuz i had black pearls.. BUT THEN i was tagged by a pack of megalos when i was off melon, i couldn’t do anything.. but then MELON.. he came in and attacked the megalos a viscous battle, i saw him destroying them!.. and he won, then i failed ti find any tuso and gave up, as i went home.. you wont believe it.. A GODAMN JELLY MOTHAF**KING FISH, he was trapped by like 10.. i tried and tried to save him with harpoons.. then i
i ran outta stamina and one came for me.. it killed me.. i tried to get there, but before i could.. he’s already dead.. i killed of the jellyfish.. and took his saddle, put a grave down.. and a storage box with his saddle..
it was my fault.. i wasn’t paying attention.. im sorry melon, i really am..
Rip melon the shark :(

“Whew, that was a close call,” Neddy said, wiping sweat off his face.
The five were resting on the small mountain they had spotted earlier upon entering the Redwoods. It was easy to see if anything was coming their way, and plus high ground was always an advantage in any battle.
Samuel eyed his injury with grimace. The sting mark was swollen and was starting to form a really nasty, pus-filled bump. Samuel really wanted to pop it, but he knew that would just make it infected.
“I should just patch it up,” Samuel thought. Samuel grabbed the sleeve of his graduation robe, then with one pull he tore it right off. He doused the article in clean water and wrapped it around his wound. The cool, wet water felt cool on his skin. He sighed in relief, as he tied a knot with it.
“Just like how Dad did,” Samuel murmured.
As Samuel looked off in the distance, he could spot a waterfall tucked away behind some sequoia trees. That looked like a good spot for a shelter. Perhaps there was someone there? Samuel decided that they should go there next.
“But not yet,” Samuel thought, rubbing his hands together, “I’m… tired? Yeah. I am.”
Samuel ruffled the back of his hair, and he could feel his father’s voice in his ear. His words still haunted his head every time he thought of his father.
And then that vivid day came back to him in an instant…
~
“Ow, ow, ow!” Samuel cried in pain. There was a giant gash on his heel, and it was oozing blood. Tears streaked down from his eyes, leaving his face hot and wet.
Tears…
Samuel was sitting on the hot concrete floor. The sun was out again. And Samuel’s bicycle lay crashed against a post, the wheel popped and the bar bent. Samuel could see a red haze in the bushes.
“Mom? MOM!” Samuel shouted in agony.
Footsteps slowly approached him, and Samuel blinked his eyes, seeing a blurry figure slowly approaching him. He wore a black t-shirt and had well-defined arms. He wore black sweatpants too, even in this weather.
“Samuel? Oh my, what a fall!”
“Dad, I fell, Dad!”
“I can tell.”
Dad got on one knee, and Samuel’s vision began to return. Dad’s eyes were vibrant, yet so monotone at the same time. He had a spark, yet there was no passion. Dad eyed Samuel’s injury with no worry.
“Does it hurt?”
“It hurts, Dad. Help me, please. It hurts.”
Dad looked into Samuel’s tear-filled eyes, then got up.
“Let’s go back inside. I’ll fix you right up.”
Samuel looked at Dad’s hand. Samuel held his hand out. Dad raised an eyebrow in confusion.
“Come on, Samuel. Get up. You can do it.”
Samuel put his injured foot out and attempted to propel himself up, but as he did, his foot went numb and he fell to the ground again. Samuel groaned, tears falling from his face.
“Dad, please.”
“Just one step at a time pal.”
Samuel looked at his bleeding heel again and groaned. He took his other foot, and with one giant push, he hurled himself up from the ground. His arms dangled by his side, and he lifted his arm up to wipe the tears away.
“W-What about the bike?” Samuel hiccuped. Dad took a glance at the bike, then back at Samuel. He turned away, walking to the front door of their home.
“Don’t worry about that, Samuel. We can always get it back later.”
Samuel stumbled forward, and Samuel limped his way in through the front door. Warren swung the door open, and Samuel could see his sister studying at her desk. She spun her swivel chair around and her eyes widened at the sight of Samuel.
“Samuel!” She got up from her desk, but Dad stopped her.
“Wren, there’s no need to worry,” Dad reassured her, “It’s all under control.”
Wren was wearing red pajamas and a baggy white shirt that didn’t fit her. Samuel could spot the bags under her eyes. Her long black hair was ruffled and messy, and her skin looked paler. There was a stack of homework assignments on Wren’s desk. It didn’t look like it had been finished yet.
“But-”
“Hush. Get back to your studying. You may worry about your brother later.”
Wren frowned, then sat down on her chair, letting out a huff before spinning her chair back in place and looking back down at her notes. Dad tapped the dining room table.
“Sit.”
Samuel plopped down on the seat, and then Dad grabbed a first-aid kit and set it on the table. He opened the case up, took some gauze out, and ripped a chunk off. Dad grabbed a bottle of ointment and applied it on Samuel’s heel. It stung and Samuel gritted his teeth.
“I know it stings.”
The moment was silent, and Dad began to wrap the gauze around his heel. Samuel sniffled, mucus in his nostrils.
“Why isn’t Mom home more often?” Samuel asked. He suddenly regretted saying those words. He didn’t want to upset Dad. Dad looked up.
“Mom’s still busy fighting crime, Samuel.”
“But why can’t she fight crime some other time?”
Saying it now made Samuel feel stupid. His ears began to burn red in embarrassment.
“It can’t be good all the time. So, something has to balance it out. People commit crimes, and that’s what’s bad I suppose.”
There was a moment of silence, until Samuel spoke up again.
“Why are there bad people? What did we do to deserve this? We didn’t do anything wrong to them,” Samuel blurted. Dad looked to the side, then shrugged.
“Bad people exist because… of the decisions they make. And they make bad decisions because they let their feelings get in the way. Their instincts,” Dad explained gently, “Don’t rely on your feelings, okay? Use your head, not your heart. And don’t care about what happens to others. Only mind yourself, and the people close to you.”
Dad finished wrapping the gauze, and he began to clean up the first-aid kit.
“Dad, I thought you wanted to be a cop,” Samuel confirmed, his tears run out, “And cops want others to be safe. That’s why they have to… make sacrifices.”
Dad sighed, brushed his hair to the side, and slowly shook his head.
“Not anymore, son.”
“Not anymore?”
“But, why?”
The memory faded from Samuel’s eyes, and he heard soft footsteps approaching him again. For a second Samuel would have sworn his father was there once again to talk to him… But no. Samuel turned around to see Aurora sitting atop Blueblaze. Aurora hopped off.
“Samuel, are you okay?” Aurora asked.
“Uh, yeah, for sure,” Samuel replied.
“Okay, I just… wanted to know.”
Aurora walked off, and Neddy rolled his eyes.
“What an emo girl! Anyways, what’s the plan now… Friend?” Neddy asked Samuel. Neddy looked over to the right to see Ruby feeding slabs of meat to Goofy and Fish Eater.
“The plan?” Samuel replied, looking off at the waterfall in the distance, “Go check that out over there.”
“Okay, and when?”
A roar suddenly echoed through the air. All heads instantly perked.
“What was that?” Ruby asked. Goofy began to shuffle uncomfortably. And Goofy never did that.
More roars began to burst through the air, and it sounded like there were multiple of them.
“That. Sounds. Dangerous. I think we need to go guys,” Aurora commented. Even Star had to agree with her, nodding in agreement. Ruby got on Goofy, and Aurora mounted Goofy as well.
“How about you two catch up on Blueblaze?” Ruby suggested to Neddy. The two dashed away.
“Bruh. RUBY. Come on bruh! I thought we were gonna ride it out together!”
“WELL WHY DON’T YOU RIDE IT OUT WITH SAMUEL FOR NOW?”
Neddy sighed, holding his hand out to Samuel.
“Come on. I think you need some help up, so…”
Samuel stared at Neddy’s hand, but ignored his request and got up onto his two feet.
“I don’t need help with that. Now let’s make a move on.”
The three quickly hopped on Blueblaze and ran off to the waterfall.
I tamed a level 20-something megalodon (took forever) and on the way home I watched in horror on my raft as the first alpha megalodon I have ever seen came out of nowhere and absolutely slaughtered her, then disappeared as fast as it came. 1 like = 1 prayer for un-named female megalodon.
Breeding: for some context when i imprinted a baby Meg it Got fully imprinted for some reason i dont know if its a common feature or a rare occasion because i havent bred another (on mobile ofc) and if megalodons do get 100% imprint from one they could be a Great underwater tame. And ofc i tried it with basilos and IT didnt work
Ultimus Chapter 13: Hide, Flight or Fight
Andrew and Reuben quickly hunkered down behind a couple crates. Andrew peered around from the crates and saw four raptors exiting the shadows of the hall. They looked around and called to each other, their calls much more distorted than their normal counterparts.
‘Damn it, could this get any worse!!’ Andrew yelled in his thoughts.
Andrew looked at Reuben, he seemed frightened. Andrew looked over in one of the corners where their was one of Andrew’s contingency plans that were set up for such a situation. Several empty crates, one being tipped to the side and lid off of it. He looked back at Reuben and quickly gave a command.
“Reuben, army crawl to block.” Andrew said quietly, which didn’t bother Reuben as he did a dog’s army crawl to the crate and laid inside. Andrew sighed, now all he had to do was get there safely, close Reuben’s box and get in his without catching attention from the raptors. Andrew army crawled slowly to the boxes checking his surroundings frequently. He got to Reuben’s box and peered inside Reuben turned his head and looked at him.
“See you on the other side of this buddy!” Andrew said quietly as he grabbed the lid of the crate and gently and quietly set it over the hole, pressing against it to make sure it was sealed enough for the lid not to fall off yet loose enough for Reuben to still be able to breathe. Andrew let go of the lid, and it stayed in place. Andrew crawled over to his crate next, a crate as big as Andrew standing. It was standing straight up, which turned out inconvenient in times of emergencies. Andrew looked around for a moment, he couldn’t see the raptors. He heard chattering of them communicating as they began to search but no sight of them yet. Andrew slowly stood up next to the crate. He looked around and still didn’t see any of the raptors from this angle.
Andrew quickly grabbed the top of the crate and quietly as possible set it down on its side next to Reuben’s. Andrew quietly walked around it to the top and took off the lid. He quickly realized that he still had guns on his back and took them off and putting individually in. He gently set the shotgun inside, but as he was about to put his rifle in, something happened.
The earth begun to shake and a thunderous sound blasted through the air with an unearthly pulsing hum coming along with it. This was the first time Andrew or Reuben had ever experienced something like this. Out of the hundreds of expeditions to this place. This was the first time. It terrified Andrew, and horrified Reuben.
As this was occurring, Reuben began barking and yipping loudly and the crate he was in began shaking as he panicked inside. Andrew tried to shush him up, but it was a waste of time and energy. Two heads popped up from behind crates and looked over into Andrew’s direction and almost immediately spotting him crouched by the crate.
Andrew quickly thought for a moment and ran with his rifle away around the edge of the crates. Trying his best to get their attention and leave Reuben safe.
This planned worked as calls for the hunt rang through that facility and sound of fast pace movement of claws. However it didn’t work as he planned as a raptor almost immediately blocked his way through. Andrew stopped and aimed his rifle. The creature began running towards him and Andrew started firing. Andrew fired six rounds into its chest and the the creature dropped five feet away from him. Andrew looked down at the creature, gaping its last breath before exhaling and it eyes widened. The room and the outside world become immediately silent. The strange noise was over and nothing was louder than a mouse.
Andrew knew he didn’t have the element of surprise anymore and probably had no chance running for it. Andrew quickly turned and ran back to the crate and grabbed the shotgun. Killing them was the only way out for him and Reuben. He slung the shotgun over his left shoulder and pushed the rifle to his right shoulder and began to search for these monsters.
