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 :(

Five of the bāstārds showed up while i was trying to move my spino, giga, and turtle with the argie. I put all of them on neutral before leaving the island we were on, and zipped over to the mainland to grab a blue drop while I waited for them to follow. In less than ten seconds, two showed up with mantas and a jelly fish and started eating my giga and spino. THEY SAT THERE AND DID NOTHING!! Now i have a dead spino. Turtle made it fine, but even after i whistled agro for the giga, he did nothing until i got on and did it myself. Now, slightly down the shore, I’m stuffing the giga with meat to try and heal the idiot before he dies too, when three more megs spawn out of nowhere! I’m convinced the game has AI or smth in the code that knows when you’re trying to do something important. My spino got Arked.

This is the second repost with the small errors fixed.
After around an hour, the pteranodon approached the volcano and Sodden whistled for him to land in the base. The pteranodon flew around the volcano and into the walls of the base. Sodden hopped off and ran into the main base. He opened the castle doors and saw Red walking around. Red noticed Sodden there and walked to him. “Sodden, we have a problem. Our god shotgun is missing.” Red said. “Yeah, I was thinking about that. We’ve seen what these Gigas can do, and both our armies are broken.” Sodden said. “True. So…” Red said. “Our armies can’t handle that. We gotta get some Rexes. I was just going to find another spot to tame them.” Sodden said. “Yeah. Well, we gotta be on watch in case Cordor decides to pay us a visit.” Red said. “Uh… the tribemaster?” Sodden asked. “Yeah. He’s brutal. We are, however, breeding up a Giga army. It’s not much, but it might help a bit.” Red said. “Oh, okay. I’ll help you set things up.” Sodden said. Red nodded and walked out the door, and Sodden followed him.
Red and the others walked down to the breeding barn. To the left of it was a large pen with some Gigas in the center and air conditioners near the gates separating the inside of the barn from the Giga pen. Red pointed to the spot. “That’s our Giga breeding pen.” He said. Sodden and Serenity walked towards the pen, along with Red. The three looked over the fences and Red whistled for a Giga to come. It was a small, dark red Giga with a white belly. “This is one of our first mutated Gigas. It’s a female, so once she grows up, we’re gonna breed a large mutated army.” Red said as he petted the Giga on the head. “Well, okay. How many Gigas do you have?” Sodden asked. “I’ve got around 18 grown Gigas, not including the mutated male. They do have good stats, though.” Red said. “Okay. Uh…” Sodden said. He started looking around the base and looked up at the volcano’s steep slope. “Well, you basically have a natural wall that they would have to go around up there.” Sodden said as he pointed to the slope. “So the ideal positioning for the Gigas would be to split them up with a lot of Rexes around the walls. It is a pretty big base. So I think groups of 8 Rexes, along with 2 Gigas, could be used to spread them across the outside of the walls. Hopefully, that slows them down.” “That sounds like a good idea. Now we just gotta keep our tribemaster out of sight.” Red said. Then Serenity walked over to him. “I think I have a plan.” She said. Sodden nodded and the three walked back to the main base.
When the three entered the castle, they ran up the stairs and towards Denine’s room. They opened the doors, and Denine looked behind her to see them. She got up and walked to them. “What’s he doing here?” Denine said. “We’re going to get your shotgun back. I think we have a plan.” Red said. “We’re going to spread the Giga and Rex armies across the wall so we can hold off Nameless for at least a few seconds. Hopefully, we can talk to them during that time.” Sodden said. “Dude… how will we get them to give back the shotgun?” Denine said. “I don’t know. But we gotta think of something. I am not leaving this base until that shotgun is back in the right hands.” Sodden said. Red started to smile, and walked towards the door. “Okay, guys. Let’s do this.” He said. Everyone nodded and walked out the door.
After a few hours, a group of Gigas, along with people on them and a large orange banner on the leading Giga’s head, approached the walls of Nudon to see groups of Rexes and Gigas in front of the walls. Sodden, Serenity, and Rod stood on the wall’s bridge, looking through a spyglass. Red noticed the group coming and sent a message to another guy in the tribe, who was sitting in the deep depths of the castle. He led Denine into a vault that Nameless could never find. They’d easily destroy the vault with the shotgun, so the vault was hidden securely. As Nameless approached the walls, the person on the lead Giga stopped his Giga and stood up. “So we meet again!” He yelled. Red looked down and said, “Give us back the shotgun.” “Oh… don’t worry. We’ll give it back… if you do one little thing for us. Let us go in, and destroy your little tribemaster and that fraud… what was his name again? Whatever. It’s yours after that.” Cordor said. “No. You’re not getting through.” Red said. “Not? These Gigas are level 309, and are 100% imprinted. We worked hard to get levels that high. Their melee is 397%. We can easily break through.” Cordor said. “Well…” Red said. “You believe you’re so powerful. You don’t even have good Rexes.” Cordor said. “We did have good Rexes! Level 278, 480% melee, 100% imprinted! Then you killed them!” Red said. “What? No. The Rexes killed a Giga. These things were too poweful. In fact, I almost lost my 104 levels because of them. So we just captured them in large cages, and threatened to knock them out if they tried to kill us again.” Cordor said. “These things are good.” Sodden whispered in Red’s ear. “Yeah, but how could we let them out?” Red asked. Sodden pointed to the cages on the cart that the Gigas were pulling. The cart held 9 cages. One of the Rexes were Cato, who was bloodied, 90% torpored, and hungry. “Wait. Is that… Cato!? What did you do to him!” Red yelled as he noticed the color-mutated Rex in the front cage. “Oh… you’re lucky we spared him.” Cordor sneered as he looked back at the cages. Sodden thought of a plan then held Red’s shoulder. “Hey. I think I have a plan. I gotta go down there and let the Rexes out. I can release my pteranodon to distract the Gigas, then use the last Carcha to destroy the cages. The Rexes will do the rest.” Sodden said. “Okay. Be careful.” Red said. Sodden nodded then threw out his pteranodon. He got on then flew down into the walls, then out the gate, so that Nameless didn’t see him leaving. “Okay, Red. I’m getting impatient. Let us in.” Cordor said. Red didn’t say anything. He whistled attack on the Gigas, then a crowd of Theris came from the bottom of the hills, along with the Rexes and Gigas on the walls, then started biting the Gigas. “What!? Gigas, destroy them!” Cordor yelled. The Gigas bit a Theri’s head off then threw the body at a Rex. The Rex got blinded by the blood and a Giga pushed it off the hill. Then a few Rexes charged at the Giga’s leg but another Giga grabbed one of the Rexes and sunk its teeth deep into its body. Then as the Gigas were fighting, the growling and roaring drowned out the sound of Sodden’s pteranodon flapping his wings, approaching the cages. The pteranodon landed behind a rock and Sodden hopped off. The Gigas were looking forward, fighting the Theris and Rexes, and Sodden crept to the cart with the caged Rexes. He climbed up then threw out his Carcha. He climbed on the Carcha and inserted his mouth in the gaps of the metal cages, then his mouth closed and the cages made a loud snap. But the noise was still drowned out by screeching. The Carcha broke 5 more cages before someone turned around to get on a Giga and noticed Sodden’s Carcha breaking the cage. “Hey! Cordor, we’ve got a intruder!” The person yelled. Cordor turned around and his Giga screeched and charged at the Carcha. Sodden whistled for the Rexes to attack, and they charged at the Giga. The Giga tried to bite a Rex running from the side, but the Rex dodged and bit the legs. The Giga screeched and tripped, causing Cordor to fall off. The Rexes held him down with their feet, but Cordor took out the shotgun. “You forget I have the most powerful shotgun in the universe.” Cordor said. He pulled the trigger six times, and the Rex fell from 30,000 health to 3,000 in seconds. His Giga got up and rammed the Rex in the butt, then bit its tail and threw it towards the wall. The Rex burst through the wall, his HP on a whopping 1.2%, and there was a hole in the wall. Cordor looked up and saw Sodden on his Carcha, who was frozen. “This is your last chance. Tell me now where she is, and give me back these Rexes… or it’s curtains for you and everyone in your tribe! And your little ally too!” Cordor yelled angrily, holding the reloaded shotgun and aiming it at the Carcha. His finger was ready to pull the trigger. Sodden tried to think of something. He had to do something or else bad things would happen. Then as he was thinking, the trigger got pulled and the Carcha screeched in great pain. He went from 18000 health to 13500. “You got three chances left, buddy.” Cordor sneered. Sodden looked around and saw the injured Theris, Rexes, and Gigas. Then, he looked up to see a Giga going through the hole in the wall. Then Sodden got jumped and almost fell when his Carcha let out another screech. The shotgun went off again and the Carcha’s health dropped to 9,000. “Two.” Cordor growled. Sodden gasped as he looked up to see the Giga coming out of the hole, and Serenity dangling from the mouth. “How does it feel to be the cause of this?” Cordor said. Sodden stammered, trying to let out a answer, then the trigger pulled again and the Carcha let out a huge screech. 4500 health left! “Once I shoot this shotgun again… your stupid Carcha that you put above everyone else… she’s going to be gone. Then you have nothing left. Then your stupid ally will be next.” Cordor said. Then Sodden gasped and thought of something. He quietly took a cryopod out of his bag. “This is it. Tell me now. Ten…” Cordor sneered. Sodden dropped the cryopod, and Reaper the raptor came out. “Nine…” Cordor said. Below the Carcha’s bleeding tail and behind the broken claws, Reaper sat, waiting to strike. “Eight, seven, six, five…” Cordor said. Then someone on one of the Gigas shot the Carcha, and his health went to 4,465. It wouldn’t heal enough to tank another of the 4500 damage the shotgun did. “Four… three…” Cordor sneered, his voice rising. Sodden stood up and whistled a Rex at the bottom of the hill to come. “Two…” Cordor growled. Sodden prepared to whistle his final blow and send a attack that would hopefully get the shotgun back. He whistled loudly and Reaper and the Rex prepared to jump. “One…” Cordor yelled. He was about to pull the trigger when Reaper jumped at his head and knocked the shotgun out of his hands. The Rex held him down. Cordor stabbed the Rex’s feet with a sword, and he was about to throw the sword in the belly when something pierced his armor, causing it all to fall off and Cordor’s health dropping to zero. He collapsed instantly. Sodden aimed the shotgun at the Giga holding Sodden’s friend. The Giga whimpered and dropped Serenity, then ran away. The people opened the remaining cages and all the other Rexes ran out of the cages and towards the walls. The other Gigas, along with Nameless’ people, started walking. “We must retreat. We’ll get our revenge later.” Someone sneered as their Giga disappeared behind the hills. Sodden let out a cheer of excitement and ran into the base walls. He looked around to see the damage. A lot of Rexes and Theris died, but most of the Rexes that were stolen were safe, but injured. Red ran down the stairs inside of the walls, and ran out the door near the hole. “Sodden, you are truly a great one. I shouldn’t have misjudged you.” Red said. Sodden nodded then whistled for all the creatures to come. One by one, they walked through the hole. When all the creatures were in, Serenity, Red, and Sodden were standing besides the remaining parts of the army. “Sodden, that was insane. We did lose a lot of tames, though. But at least we’re still here and that shotgun is back where it belongs.” Red said. Sodden held out his fist and Red fist bumped him. Serenity nodded and Sodden walked to his pteranodon. “Well… all is done. We’ll rebuild, and I’ve got some creatures to kill.” He said. The two nodded. Sodden got on his pteranodon and took off towards the snow.
Over the course of an hour, death messages showed up. “Sodden (Level 60) killed a Megalodon! Killed a Megatherium! Killed a Mesopitcheus!”
Okay, the next chapter won’t be as long.
See you in Chapter 16.

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.
I have an absolute masterpiece of a story to tell everyone.
One day I was walking around water with my Dodo, and I got a message
"your Dodo killed a megalodon"
And I thought "what in the hell?"
It turned out that my Dodo made a megalodon jump onto land, then my Dodo killed it somehow. That was the bravest Dodo I've ever heard of or seen in my life. He even gave me the megalodon tooth and i think it said
"blah blah something only true hunters can obtain, blah blah blah" or something like that.
I think that this same Dodo was one that somehow survived the last stand against the Theirozino. If you don't know about this then go to the stories section in the theirozino section.

Chapter twenty: Elizabeth and Eric’s romance
Elizabeth and Eric lay on the raft, the ocean gently rocking it. Eric watched Elizabeth with a tender expression on his face. The moonlight cast its glow on her hair, making it shine. Eric still felt the same way about Elizabeth as he had when they were kids. He still loved her. Eric reached out and held her hand. “Elizabeth?” Eric asked. Elizabeth turned her head and smiled sweetly at him. “Yes?” She whispered. “Elizabeth…I love you. I’ve loved you since the day we met and every day we’ve spent together after that. I love you Elizabeth. I don’t have much to offer you but…when all this over will you marry me?” Eric asked. Elizabeth’s face and eyes lit up with joy. She locked eyes with Eric. “Yes. Yes Eric. I don’t think I can live a single day without you.” Elizabeth said. They scooted closer together. Their lips were suddenly touching. Eric could hear his heart beating loudly like a drum. A shock of joy filled him. He and Elizabeth. Together. No matter what happened they would be together forever.

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.
The Obelisk
-Chapter 77-
Fire.
Hungry, bloodthirsty fire, blazing from all directions, bright and hot as it burned everything in sight.
Crimson turned around in a full circle, searching for a spot to escape. She looked down and realized she was on a small island. A small ring of water separated her from the burning mess beyond.
She stared at the still water, flames and screaming carnivores reflected on its surface.
Then she heard a voice, two voices, the voices she’d never expected to hear since that day.
“Crimson!” Her parents cries echoed from beyond the fire. Crimsons eyes widened. “Mom? Dad?” She heaved herself up onto her back legs as they yelled her name.
Once more she glanced down at the water.
Her parents called again.
Crimson roared and leaped over the water, straight into the fire. She ran and ran and jumped high onto a fallen rock spire, right before spotting her parents fighting back flames.
Quick as lightning Crimson leaped down and landed with a thud in front of them.
“Crimson?” Her dad exclaimed.
“We have to get out of here!” Crimson yelled. “Come on!”
The Kapros turned and ran as far as they could, through the falling trees and smoke as the world fell in flames around them.
Still running, Crimson looked to her mother and father. “Im sorry,” she yelled. “Im sorry I couldn’t save you!”
“It’s not your fault, Crimson,” Her mother said, turning her head to look at her as they ran. “You were so young.”
“I just wish I could have done something,” Crimson cried.
“It’s ok,” Father said. “We know you would have.”
“Everything’s going to be alright.”
