Extremely easy boss, I did Alpha with 19 lvl 200 rexes, each with about 30k health and 800 dmg. As well as a yuty, I Took him out in like 50 seconds, I probably overprepared, but it was my first time ever doing a boss. Then I got too cocky and decided to try out the Aalpha broodmother using the Same guys, but using 8 lvl 160 megatheriums as well, definitely didn't go as well, I realize now that I should've just used all my rexes for the broodmother, I did end up surviving, but lost all the megas and and 9 lvl 200+ rexes...

Moral of the story: Don't get Cocky!

Riddles of the Phoenixes series

Through the eyes of the Dark phoenixes.

Chapter twenty three : Caught.

“Y’all snuck out?!” Nora asked/demanded. Jack ran his fingers through his long hair nervously. Cyra and him exchanged nervous glances. “Um….yeah?” Cyra said. “Why?! You could have gotten lost!” Nora exclaimed. “He could have escaped!” William exclaimed. “You could have died.” Cyrus said darkly. Cyra glared at him. “Well, excuse me Cyrus, I didn’t know that we were harboring a murderer!!” She exclaimed sarcastically. Cyrus’ eye twitched angrily. “Well, you never know what OUTSIDERS might do!!!!” He exclaimed. Cyra scowled. “Oh! So now you’re afraid of outsiders, huh?!” Cyra sneered. “NO! I’m just trying to protect YOU from OUTSIDERS!” Cyrus growled. Jack began to edge away from Cyra as she and Cyrus began to fight. “I don’t need your protection!”

“Oh really? Well I can list SEVERAL occasions when you needed my help!”

“You don’t understand do you?! This “protection” thing isn’t just you protecting me! I will protect you as well! And myself!”

“Well, I’m not just trying to protect you from outsiders I’m trying to protect you from mys-”

“ENOUGH!!!” William shouted. “We have a guest with us. Stop fighting you two, you’re acting like children.” Nora said. “Well you don’t treat him like a guest.” Cyra muttered. Cyrus scoffed. “Of course we don’t. He’s a outsider.” Cyrus said. Cyra glared at him. Cyrus ran his hand over his slicked back greasy dark brown hair and strutted out of the room haughtily. Nora sighed and shook her head. “Are they al-always like this?” Jack asked. William sighed. “Unfortunately…yes.” William replied. Cyra stomped past them, a dark expression on her face. The door slammed shut behind her, and the whole room shook. “Cyra can be very moody when she gets upset or offended. And so can Cyrus.” Nora said. “We were gonna scold Cyra but…probably not best to get her in a more foul mood. So……let’s go have dinner.” William instructed.

Overseer

Chapter 6

Fuzzball turn behind with confusion. “How do you know my name?” Fuzzball said to the darkness in front of him. “We met a long time ago…perhaps you remember the huge gorilla you saw when you were in the snow biomes.” The mysterious creature said. “Who is he anyways, is he the overseer?” Fuzzball whispered to Scar. Scar gestured Fuzzball to be quiet and listen to him. “Kacrrom!” The lights then turned on. In front of him was a huge Gigantipitichus that seems badly injured. Fuzzball realized who he was, his long lost cousin. “Blizzard?!” Fuzzball said with excitement and confusion.

“Well we meet again Fuzzball.” Blizzard said while grinning to Fuzzball. Blizzard was an Megapitichus that escaped his prison of being slaughtered by humans in his arena but Fuzzball still didn’t know how Blizzard was his cousin. “As you see, after I escaped my prison.. the Gigantipitichus was stranded, one after another, they keep dying in the cold snow and of predators.” Said blizzard as he continued. “ I decided to help their tribe by taking to the redwoods. The first Gigantipitchus that settled to the Redwoods was scared and hopeless. We soon got sued to the environment and builded the a village, but ever since the corruption came out it’s been a disaster.” Blizzard sadly said.

“Also we brought the Artifact of Cure.” Fuzzball said as he quickly scurried to Blizzard with the Artifact in his hand. “With this we might make a cure for the corrupted.” Blizzard said as he picked up the Artifact. “Might?” Scar asked from behind Fuzzball. “As you see, our scientist are really low but the humans would either make us their slave or slaughter us when we ask for help.” Blizzard replied. “CRROOM.!!!” A guard suddenly came rushing in with worry. “Sir! Corrupted terror birds are trying to break in!” The guard said with fear in his eyes. “SOUND THE ALARMS AND EVACUATE THEM TO THE GRAND WALL.” Blizzard shouted orders as he got off his chair. The guards quickly blowed the horn on top of the overseers building and the ground shooked. “GET ME FLYER!” Blizzard said to one of the guards . “ You two listen carefully, Flyer is gonna take you to the hidden cave and from there give the artifact to the scientist.” Blizzard said slowly. “ Sir I’m ready!” Flyer said as he putted on a helmet. “Take them to the hidden cave.” Blizzard said. “B-but what about you?” Fuzzball said.

“I’ll be fine now go!” Blizzard said as he rushed outside to shout out orders. “You heard him let’s go!” Said Flyer as he leaded us to a Quetzal with back seats. “COME ON WE DONT HAVE MUCH TIME!” Flyer shouted since the crowd was really loud. Fuzzball and Scar quickly went to the passenger seat and Flyer went to fly the Quetzal. “HANG ON!” Flyer shouted as we took of to the sky. Fuzzball never been in the sky like this before, everyone look beautiful. Except for the corrupted terror birds attack the gate. “THIS IS A LONG RIDE SO BE PATIENT.” Flyer shouted again. “OK.” Fuzzball replied.

FEW HOURS LATER…

“We’re here.” Said Flyer as he landed the Quetzal in front of the hidden cave. Fuzzball woke up from his nap and had no idea how long it was. Scar was already getting of the Quetzal while Fuzzball made sure the Artifact was safe. “Thanks Flyer.” Scar said. Two guards was in front of the doorway. Once we were at the science lab a scientist came to us. “ Well hello, what brings you here.” The scientist Gigantipitichus said. “We’re here to bring the Artifact of Cure do you can make a cure.” Fuzzball replied. “ Well excellent!” The scientist said with a thrill. “Well my name is Puddle.” Puddle said. Then she led us to a lab and putted the Artifact in a machine. “VRACCCOOM.” The machine then maded a green looking potion. “We know what happened at the village so we are trying to pack up before the corrupted comes.” Said Puddle.

“Now listen, go to the flatlands and find a Giga, he’ll guide you.” Puddle said. “You do know what is a Giga right?” Puddle asked Scar and Fuzzball. They both nodded. “Flyer will take you to the flatlands, we are sended a message to your parents saying that you are just on a field trip with your school.” Puddle said. “B-but.” Before Fuzzball could asked how they know his parents Puddle interrupted . “Now hurry, there’s no time to waste.” Puddle said as she escorted them to Flyer. We got on the Qutzal again and we took of into the air. Fuzzball knew he had a worked to save and friends to help him. “We can do it.”

Endgame- Chapter Two

“Alpha Rex!” Jenny yelled from her position as scout. It was late at night, but the campground was wide awake within seconds.

“Do you think it can get up here?” Slav mumbled.

“Maybe,” Jenny said, “But it looks like it might fall.”

They sat in silence and waited. Slav patted Parker, and the kapros were more tense than ever.

“It fell!” Jenny yelled, and a huge cheer went up from the campground.

“Quiet, fools!” Whispered one of the redwood tribes’s Chief Council members. “We want to keep our position secret!”

The next day, Kai, Nox, Slav and Jenny went out to get more tames. Nox had become known in some wild areas as a “Master Negotiator,” and so he was brought along to convince the creatures that they should be tamed.

“Let’s go to the tundra.” Kai said, breaking the silence as they rode on Sunny, pretty much their only big tame left. “We can get Rexes, Yutys, and Daeodons.”

“Sure,” Slav retorted, “But we have to go to the redwoods first! Thylas would be an incredible asset in this war!”

“Then you go!” Kai snapped. “I am not going back there!”

“Kai, please-“ Jenny and Nox both tried to say, but Kai held up his hand, covered in a fur glove. They rode on like that until they came to the snow.

“Grab a good-looking Yuty.” Kai instructed Sunny, and she swooped down and picked one up.

“Hey, Mr. Yuty!” Nox yelled. “Remember that Haphis guy who built a tribe on your territory?!”

“How could I forget?” The Yuty snarled. “His Woolly Rhino killed my carnos!”

“Oof, that sucks!” Nox yelled. “Hey, would you like to join the fight against him?”

They got a Yuty. It went on like this for a while, until they had Rexes, Yutys, Daeodons, Mammoths...

Back at base, Chiron and the others congratulated them for everything they got.

“There’s just one problem.” Chiron said. “Haphis knows we’re here.”

Endgame- Chapter 6

(idk if you liked my Crystal Isles Story preview, I was bored and thought it would be fun)

“You’ve already killed the first guardian for me.” Haphis snarled. “You’re going to be killing two more for me. Then, I shall destroy the final and ASCEND!” He laughed maniacally.

“We’re not going to do your dirty work.” Said Kai.

“Well, you were already planning on killing the guardians.” He replied. “You’re going to do it for me or I’ll feed you to my giga. He likes to take things slow. A very slow death.”

“We’ll do it.” Slav sighed. He found a piece of stone on the ground, and threw it at Haphis. It missed entirely, and the Corrupted Ex-tribe leader didn’t even notice.

—————————

Snakes. There were a lot of snakes. Pouncer had lived her entire life in the swamp, but there were so many snakes! A mutated Frog was being ridden by a riot geared guard, slowly circling the swamp. Pouncer didn’t know how she escaped, but she had to find them.

“You look like you need some help.” A quetz said. He picked up Pouncer.

“Have you seen a caravan moving anywhere? With prisoners?”

“Yes. I heard rumors that they were heading to the Yeti Cave.”

“Well, that’s where we’re going.”
