Cave Chapters Part 3/5

After almost an hour of flying, Sodden’s pteranodon approached the mossy cliffs where the cave entrance sat. The pteranodon touched down just outside of the entrance, then Sodden put him in a cryopod. Sodden put on a gas mask and took out the Megatheriums. He walked into the cave and down the slope that led to the tunnel. He threw out one of the megatheriums and got on it. Then he walked through the tunnels, towards a small chamber. A large swarm of bugs flew at them, but the megatherium easily swatted and crashed the swarm. They walked through the tunnels, approaching the first large chamber, then Sodden threw out a Megatherium in front of the one he was riding, and whistled for it to attack the creatures in the large chamber. Then Sodden noticed a swarm of insects coming from behind, and turned around his Megatherium to attack them. It was decimating the insects, when suddenly, a scorpion tried to push it into the chamber. Sodden’s Megatherium easily destroyed the scorpion, but then another one came from behind. It raised its tail to hit Sodden’s back, but missed when the Megatherium turned. The insects started damaging Sodden’s armor and he took out his shotgun to shoot down the insects, while the Megatherium took care of the swarm. Then some spiders came along, and Sodden threw out the last Megatherium to take care of the spiders. The swarm was dead, but Sodden’s gas mask was half damaged and the Megatherium in the large chamber was getting bloodied and bruised. He looked at the gas mask and noticed he forgot to get the ascendant one from Red, so he was stuck with the primitive one. He sighed and put one of the Megatheriums in a cryopod, then threw it out again in the large chamber. It started attacking the coming bugs, spiders, arthros, and scorpions. Sodden sat on his Megatherium, waiting for the chamber to become safe enough to go in.

On Far’s Peak, inside the base of C Tribe, Terad sat in his chair, at the table close to the front entrance. He held a cryopod in his hand. He was watching a screen, one that was linked to the cameras in each cave. He could see Sodden and the Megatherium in the cave. Then someone ran down the stairs from behind. “Uh… sir.” The person said. “Don’t call me sir.” Terad said. “We found one.” The person said. “Found what?” Terad said. “A Titanosaur. Near the Redwoods.” The person said. No response. Terad slowly got up and turned to the person. “What? We gotta get it. We’ve been looking for weeks. Where’s the Quetzal and cannons?” Terad growled. “Uh… we… don’t have a Quetzal.” He said. “WHAT!? The others were supposed to be looking for one! They’ve been looking all week! They should’ve found one by now!” Terad screamed. “Yeah… we should’ve. You see… Nameless ran into us a few days ago when we found a Quetzal. It was a 125. And Nameless had to steal our Quetzal and leave us with nothing. We have not found a good Quetzal since.” The person said. “WHAT!!!!!! I know what’s going on. They know about the Titan. When will they be ready?” Terad asked. The person talking to him did not say anything. “When will they be ready?!” Terad sneered. “Uh… I heard they’re running the Strong cave tomorrow to find a good saddle for the Quetzal. They’re planning the Titan tame next week.” The person said. “What. Did. You. Just. Say.” Terad growled in a deep voice. He then took out a sword and smashed a chair. “We don’t even have a Quetzal yet!!! We cannot let them tame that thing. Either we tame it… or it dies!” Terad said. The word “dies” seemed to echo in the person’s ear. “We can’t fight a Titan when Nameless wants to tame that same Titan. Are you insane? Our Gigas are really good, but so are their Gigas. We could be facing a literal WAR if we tried to fight that thing around Nameless!” The person said. Terad grabbed him by his shirt and growled in his ear, “We will tame it, or we will kill it. I don’t care if we have a war.” Terad then dropped him and stormed upstairs.

In the swamp cave, the two Megatheriums inside the chamber were killing the last of the arthros and bugs. When the last arthro died, Sodden put the Megatherium he was sitting on in a cryopod and walked into the chamber. The two Megatheriums were weighed down with stacks upon stacks of chitin. Sodden had like 380 weight, though, so he could carry a ton of chitin. “I’d definitely need some of that chitin.” He said. He took out around 20 stacks of chitin and then took out a crossbow with a grappling hook on it. He aimed for the small shortcut on the ceiling that led to the artifact, and shot a grapple at the roof. He rappled up and jumped to the ledge. Then he crawled to the artifact container, stood up, opened the jar and took out the Artifact of the Immune. “Nine caves done. One to go.” Sodden whispered. He jumped back down and put his Megatheriums back in the cryopods. He walked into the tunnel leading to the exit, threw out a Megatherium, and used it to clear out the creatures blocking the way out. He cleared out the spiders and scorpions, got to the cave entrance and put his Megatherium in the cryopod. He walked out of the cave and threw his pteranodon out. The sun was about to set, so Sodden set out for Nudon.

On the way back, he set his pteranodon down for stamina regain, and Sodden ran to a phiomia nearby, took out his shotgun, and shot it down. He then put down a pelagnoris flying above him, and when he walked to the water, he shot down some pirhanas that were coming towards him. He then shot down a pteranodon flying above him. He then walked back to his pteranodon and took off. After he arrived to Nudon, and the sun began to dip below the horizon, the light fading from the Island, Sodden put his pteranodon in a cryopod and walked into the castle. Red came fron downstairs and saw him. “Oh, hey, dude. You’re back. You got it. Okay. So… we have something to do. We gotta make a plan for tomorrow’s cave, aka, the Strong Cave. That cave is insanely difficult. Not only is there crazy powerful creatures, it’s also insanely cold down there. Uh… I’m not sure what your stats are now… maybe they’d help?” Red said as he walked to Sodden. “Uh… yeah. I got 210 HP, 220 oxygen, 280 stamina, 380 weight, and just one point in fortitude. Yeah… I wasn’t very good at organizing my levels.” Sodden said. “Okay. Not a big deal. We have some tonics that will reset your stats. You can fix them after that.” Red said. He pointed to the right, behind the stairs to the second floor, where the cooking room was. “That’s our cooking room right there.” Red said. He walked there, and Sodden followed. When they entered the room, they walked to the storage boxes at the other end and Red opened one of them, which was labeled, “Level Resets” “This thing has mindwipe tonics, which will reset all your levels and engrams, but you’ll keep all your XP, so you can put back your levels. We use it to fix stats we’re not satisfied with, or to boost crafting speed so that we can save ourselves the hours it took to craft supplies. Literally. The shotgun cost 21,000 polymer to upgrade. We spent 13 hours with boosted crafting speed crafting all that stuff. Okay, anyway, let’s get your stats fixed.” Red said. He took out a bowl with a purple liquid in it. “Just drink it and your stats will reset within seconds. Just, be cautious. It can sometimes knock out people.” Red said. Sodden nodded and took the bowl, then drank it all. Within 10 seconds, a whoosh sound went off and Sodden’s 70 levels were immediately reset. “The ideal layout is 230 HP, 250 oxygen, 350 weight, and 28 fortitude. I like using that setup for caves and stuff. And crafting speed can stay base. You don’t need that for now. We can worry about that when we get to the saddles.” Red said. “Okay… the saddles. We probably need more Rexes.” Sodden said. “You’re not wrong. We also are getting Theris. All we need is the Artifact of the Strong and we’ll be set.” Red said. Sodden gasped. “Wait… how will we do that?” He said. “You’re going to bring my Yuty and two Rexes, and two Theris. The Theris are backup. The Rexes are male and female, so they’ll be mate boosted. The Yuty will strengthen the Rexes and reveal Purlovia. All you have to do is watch your back and stay alert, and bring your fur armor, and you’ll be fine. On fur armor, we’ve gotten leggings with 280 durability and 190 cold resist. That should protect you. But if the chestpiece breaks, it’s probably going to expose you to the cold, and you’re going to start taking damage. At least .3 per second according to my calculations. So I think you should bring standing torches. You’ll have a stack of angler gel and three standing torches to protect you. Just don’t let them get destroyed. We leave at 9 tomorrow morning, so get your food and water tomorrow and we’re going to be ready.” Red said. “Okay.” Sodden said. He was about to leave when Red stopped him. “Hold on. One last thing. Don’t, under any circumstances, let a Yeti hit you without the chestpiece on. One of our great friends learned that the hard way.” Red said. “What? What happened?” Sodden asked. “I don’t want to say. Just don’t let it happen.” Red said. Sodden nodded then left the room. Rod stopped him as he was about to leave, and Sodden gave him the megatheriums. Rod held out a thumbs up, and Sodden nodded. He walked out of the base, threw out his pteranodon, and got on and took off. One hour passed. The message, “Sodden (Level 71) killed a Plesiosaur!” showed up. Another hour passed. Sodden arrived back, ate some cooked meat from his bag, put his pteranodon in a cryopod, then walked into the castle.

Prepare for the Strong Showdown…

The Obelisk

-Chapter 96-

Tears ran down Orbits snout. He stood rigid where he was, staring down at Moonbeams unmoving body. “No,” he whispered. “No, no, please no!” He shook her lightly, sobbing more and more. “Moonbeam!”

“She’s gone,” Crimson said firmly from behind him, her eyes soft.

Orbit snarled to the sky and dropped his head into Moonbeam’s scales.

Darkness stretched around them. Sounds came from behind the carnivores, and Forest blinked, denial and grief reflected in his blue-grey eyes.

Spark turned her head towards the noises as bushes rustled and talons padded from the darkness around them. “We have to go, now,” she said.

Nyx leaned against Orbit, her eyes slammed shut.

Eyes gleamed from the rocks and trees. Ravagers watched, from far off, snarling quietly.

“Spark’s right, let’s go,” Rust said urgently. He nudged Nyx with his tail, and she lifted her head, shrinking at the sounds of the Ravagers.

Orbit didn’t move. He stayed there, gritting his teeth and crying quietly into Moonbeams neck. “Orbit—” Spark began—

“No,” Orbit said shakily. “I’m not leaving her.”

“Orbit, please,” Nyx whispered. “We have to get out of here.”

“No!” He repeated. His voice shook. “I’m staying right here. I can’t leave her. I won’t leave her!”

Crimson looked behind her and then back to the others. “Come on,” she said gently, nudging Forest to follow. A large cave loomed overhead, right near where Moonbeam lay. The Kapro headed towards it, gesturing for the others briskly.

Rust followed, then Spark. Forest gazed silently at Orbit, his face full of emotions he’d never felt in his life. Then he turned and went, glancing back at Orbit sadly.

Nyx reached a talon towards Orbit, but stopped as Crimson called her. She blinked wide eyes at Orbit and quickly ran off to join them. They disappeared into the cave, and just as they did, the ravine grew quiet. Orbit nuzzled Moonbeam, his heart beating and his head fuzzy.

Hisses came from the terrain behind him. Moonbeams blood soaked into the ground Orbit dug his claws into. Slowly, he turned his head to look back at the eyes watching.

His heart pumped faster as he stared back at the creatures that murdered Moonbeam. His spines stood up slowly on his back and his pupils narrowed.

Then Orbit roared, a desperate, grieving roar filled with hatred and fear and fury. The Ravagers snarled back and he turned, leaping with his jaws wide and his claws outstretched. A swarm of black and brown bodies came into view and he screamed his anger, landing into the mass as his scales began to glow.

A burst of light erupted from Orbit, blasting in all directions. He landed squarely on a Ravager and sunk his teeth into their scales, her eyes glowing violet and his ruff flared.

More Ravagers came. They jumped and clawed at him and he roared, swiping his paw in a massive arc and sending blood flying. He whirled, ducking his head and standing still as they climbed on top of him. Then he reopened his eyes and another explosion of light came from him. The Ravagers were thrown back as he roared loudly, tears filling his eyes.

“ORBIT!” The voice came from Nyx, who had run out of the cave and stood at the edge of the entrance, watching in terror.

Behind her the others came as well, stopping at her side.

Orbit smiled at them as rocks began to tumble down from the sides of the ravine. “Go save Fjordur,” he called.

Nyx yelled out as the entrance to their cave began to collapse. They gasped and stepped back quickly. “Come on!” Crimson cried.

Orbit watched them diving further into the cave as it collapse inwards.

A Ravager jumped and clawed at his side, and he winced as another came and bit into his neck. A boulder fell from above where he stood. He looked up at it as the Ravagers piled onto him, and he closed his eyes.

‘I’m coming, Moonbeam.’

Riddles of the Phoenixes series

The War of the Phoenixes.

Chapter seventeen: The Shadowy figure

Nora lay asleep in bed that night. She suddenly awoke with a start, hearing something. A sheet lay stretched out at the foot of her bed, blocking moonlight from coming in the window. She thought, that she had heard a voice. She looked at Sylvia’s bed. Sylvia was sound asleep, her quiet snores confirmed that. “Nora….” Someone called softly in a sing sing voice. His voice was dark and cold. Nora shivered and pulled a dagger out from under her pillow.

“Who’s there? What do you want?!” Nora demanded. A cold chuckle sounded from close by. “You know who I am, Nora.” The voice called. Nora held the dagger even tighter in her hand. “You know what I want..” He said. Nora set her jaw and slowly began crawling toward the end of the bed. “You know what I need…” Nora was almost to the foot of the bed. He chuckled again.

“I can see you.” He said. Nora could see a shape of a man through the sheet at the end of her bed. He had a black hood and cloak on and was holding a sword in his hands. Nora gulped. “Come out, come out.” He said softly. Nora reached forward and yanked the sheet down. Moonlight filled her vision. There was no one there. “Nora…” He whispered. “I’m coming for you and if anyone gets in my way….say goodbye.” And then the voice went silent.

The shadowy figure was gone. How had he gotten in here anyway? Nora searched the room quietly but found no evidence. The window was open however, and Nora was pretty sure it had been closed when she went to bed. Nora closed it and locked it tight. She climbed back in bed but did not sleep that night.

My phiomia is a hero when I was a noob my base was attacked by an alpha raptor I didn’t know how to kill it but I knew enough about alphas to decide I was dead and well I didn’t die because of my phiomia and pterodactyl I would be dead and my base would have been broken my pterodactyl dive bombed the raptor (I didn’t have a saddle back then) so while the raptor was destracted my phiomia was destroying it I was afraid for my pterodactyl so I called it off and my phiomia killed it behind a rock nearly all my tames were dead but sadly later my phiomia was died of starvation while I was taming a bronto RIP mr piggles

As someone who hears these creatures getting slaughtered (and sometimes falling unconscious, likely due to those PESKY Titanoboa/snakes) on a regular basis whenever I’m in the swamp, I’ll take a chance to save an innocent fleeing creature if I see it possible. I just had this experience where I was flying on my Tapejara Ruby (named after the color of her wings and fin) when I heard such a thing happening. It didn’t take me long for me to see a camouflage-green female Phiomia being attacked by a raptor. I have Ruby start attacking, distracting the raptor from it’s meal. Although, she runs out of stamina and lands halfway through the fight, shortly thereafter resulting in me getting grabbed off and pounced. Luckily however I still have decent health and am wearing Chitin armor, so I have enough time to whistle Ruby to assist, who then kills the raptor just as I jump back onto her saddle. Shortly afterwards I decided to spare mercy on the Phiomia and knock her out for taming.

“So this is it,” Chris muttered as he looked at the obelisk terminal with his hands in his pockets. He looked back at Ben, Paul, Carlos, John, Ian, Patricia, and Landon. They had their weapons drawn and their beasts ready. A Spinosaurus, a few Carnotaurus, and a herd of herbivores that ranged from Parasaurs, Triceratops, and Stegosaurus. There was no way in hell that June would be able to take down all of them at once. The madness ended now.

“Are you all ready?” John asked, feeling more nervous than ever. The others nodded.

“Yeah. We are,” Landon replied. He had a sad look on his face. He clenched his fists, and clutched onto his sword tighter.

Upon reaching the red obelisk, they had found General Wyvern’s dead body on the ground. Although Landon had not been too close with him, he still felt anger and hatred toward June for what she’d done. Landon thought that perhaps he could get General Wyvern to change and become his own person, like he did.

“That’s why we need to kill June once and for all,” Landon thought.

Chris looked at the implant that was attached to the terminal again. The gem inside looked more like a button now that it was there. Chris placed his finger on the button. He took a deep breath in, and then a deep breath out.

“After all this is over, we can finally return to the Book Club Camp,” Chris thought happily, “I’ll get to see that little bird again and Skyler will be… proud of me. Everyone will. I’ll prove it to them all, finally.”

Chris pressed the button, and a voice beeped from the terminal.

BEEP!

“Boss fight procedure in progress. Do you wish to join? WARNING: ONE ARTIFACT DETECTED. COLLECT MORE ARTIFACTS TO STRENGTHEN YOUR CHANCES AGAINST THE BOSS.”

“Boss fight procedure in progress?” Carlos asked curiously.

“Do you think June is in there fighting something right now?” Patricia wondered aloud, rubbing her chin. Ian nodded.

“Very possible. If that’s the case, then it might be even easier to kill her because she’d have to focus on two sides to fight at the same time,” he commented. Ben shoved past the others and pressed the button again.

A red beam of light shot down on them, and they all let out gasps of shock. The world around them began to flicker, and then, they disappeared.

~

Everything flickered back into the view. There was fire everywhere. It scorched the lands, causing all of them to start sweating profusely. Rivers of lava ran through the lands, their scorching temperatures frying all life that may have tried to exist. There was a volcano in the distance which spewed smoke, and it blocked out the air, making it smoggy and hard to breathe in. They could see the stone ruins of a temple in the distance.

“Wow,” Paul said, taking the sights in. He took off his jacket and wrapped it around his waist. Ian also took his jacket off. John began to fan himself with his straw hat. Carlos reached into his satchel and took out a bunch of bowls of soups.

“Okay drink up, this should cool you down,” Carlos told them.

The others happily took the bowls of soup and began to chug them down. Afterwards, they felt refreshed and nice, although the air was still ashy and uncomfortable. It would be much more bearable.

Landon looked around the arena, a bit confused.

“It said there was a boss fight, right? So where is the boss? And more importantly where is June?”

A roar suddenly filled the air. All of their heads turned and they saw a ginormous dragon flying toward them, purple and orange in color. It let out a fierce roar as it dived down toward them and blasted fire toward them. What really set this dragon apart was that it had a rider atop it.

June.

“HAH HAH HAH HAH!” June laughed as they all dived out of the way. The Spinosaurus let out a shriek as the flames enveloped its body. The herbivores seemed to be doing just fine. They all began to attack the dragon’s legs. The dragon let out a fierce roar and swiped at the herbivores mindlessly. It didn’t seem to know what it was doing.

Upon closer observation, June was holding onto the dragon’s horns and pulling it like reins.

“Dude she’s got a dragon we’re cooked,” John groaned as they began to strategize what to do. June was clearing away most of the herbivores with the dragon. The herbivores would be a good staller, but once they were killed there wouldn’t be much they could do other than pray.

Ian couldn’t use his implant attribute because of attribute amplification, Chris’ wouldn’t be much use against the dragon, Carlos’ was a support ability, Patricia’s was also non-battle applicable, and Paul didn’t even know his yet. That left John, Ben, and Landon.

“Ben, can you just use your vines to trap the dragon and stop it from moving around?” Ian suggested. Ben’s implant glowed, and vines quickly shot out from the ground and wrapped around the dragon’s legs, but as soon as they did they immediately disintegrated to dust. The heat must have been too much.

“Okay then… John, why don’t you just go up and tame it?” Ian said. John looked at the dragon, and then back at Ian if he were crazy.

“Even if I survived taming that thing with my power… I don’t wanna get squished man. No way am I doing that!”

Ian turned to Landon, who had a determined look on his face.

“Landon you have a voodoo attribute right?” Ian asked him. Landon nodded. Ian took a deep breath in and exhaled.

“What I’m about to ask you might be a bit insane,” Ian explained, “But are you willing to chop your arm off? It’ll kill the dragon for good. We’ll give you a healing brew and it should heal right back up.”

“Yes,” Landon replied firmly. Ian was taken aback by his quick response.

“Are you sure dude? It’s gonna hurt A LOT-”

“It’s fine. General Wyvern didn’t care about pain, and neither will I,” Landon replied. Ian nodded at him.

“I respect you a lot. Carlos, the healing brew please.”

Carlos handed over a healing brew to Ian, and he gave it to Landon. Landon took the bottle and unplugged the cork. He took a deep breath in and out, and his implant began to glow.

“Here we go-”

Landon let out a howl of pain as the cut tore straight through his shoulder, severing his arm. The dragon let out a similar scream as its arm was also cut off. Blood began to pour from their wounds, and Landon’s eyes fluttered.

“Landon! Landon, stay with me,” John screamed. Landon let out a groan and fainted, dropping the bottle of healing brew. John quickly grabbed the healing brew, and Paul caught him in his arms. John held the brew to his lips and poured it down his lips.

Chug, chug, chug.

As Landon subconsciously swallowed the liquid, his arm began to grow back. The others let out a sigh of relief as Landon slowly recovered. They turned back to the dragon. It had collapsed to the ground after killing the last herbivore, its eyes no longer blazing with the flames it had brought upon the landscape and their tames. A pile of molten, hot blood began to form under the corpse. June began to cuss at the dragon as it didn’t move, and she kicked at the head of the dragon. June turned to face the warriors, her eyes blazing in fury. A trident made of flames manifested in her hands, and her whole body flickered with fire.

“I’M GOING TO KILL ALL OF YOU!” June yelled, super jumping off the dragon toward them and lifting her trident up into the air.

All of them let out screams and tried to run away, but fire quickly shot out from the ground around them, trapping them in a ring of fire. John let out a gulp as June got closer and closer.

But then the world flickered away to night.

SHOOM!

Everyone found themselves on the obelisk podium, and June let out a gasped shock to see she was no longer on the air, but standing on the obelisk podium. She snarled, lifting the trident made of fire up into the air.

“Whatever just happened doesn’t matter. You’ll all die now! Starting with this naive fool-”

Paul stared June in the eyes, shaking his head.

“No you won’t,” Paul grinned. Everyone came out from behind him, “Because we’re about to defeat you with the power of friendship.”

June didn’t see it coming. Ian came rushing in from nowhere, slamming his fist into her cheek.

KAPOW!

As June was launched toward Patricia, the volcano off in the distance rumbled simultaneously. Patricia punched June in the face, and June let out a howl of pain as blood shot out of her mouth. The others quickly came rushing in to deliver their own blows to June.

She was cornered.

Carlos slammed her frying pan into her hip, and she groaned as she fell onto one knee. She slammed her fist into the ground and fire burst out, shooting out at the others in a form of an attack, but it did nothing to prevent their assault. Landon came rushing in with his sword and sliced her cheek. John kicked at her head with his boot, causing her head to throb even more. Her flames slowly crackled away and she found herself overwhelmed, unable to fight back.

“Ha ha! Get thrashed!” Carlos laughed as he slammed his pan into her ribs again and again.

“AH!” June cried out. She looked around.

Ben was nowhere in sight.

“Please, Ben, help me! HELP ME!” she cried out.

The others were beginning to tire out from beating up this old lady. They let out sighs of relief, wiping sweat away from their brow. They let Patricia do the honors of the last blow. Patricia walked up to June and slammed her foot into her stomach. She let out a cry as she fell on her back. Patricia crouched down, pulled her fist back, then slammed it into June’s jaw.

POW!

June let out a gasp as her head jerked to the side. She was out of breath and had cuts and bruises everywhere. Patricia got off her, wiping the dust off her hands and walking back to stand next to Ian. She put her hands on her hips triumphantly, looking at Ian with a smile.

“We did it,” Patricia said, “We did it!”

Ian let out a laugh, and the two clasped hands and began to jump around like little kids.

“Hell yeah we did!”

The two began to chant cheers as they giddily began to run around. Chris looked at them with a smile. Although he had not participated in the violence against June (he wished he had) he couldn’t help but feel a sense of accomplishment. They had finally defeated this terrible queen. Landon nudged Chris on the shoulder.

“Hey, dude, you can cheer if you want too,” Landon told him. Chris smiled.

“Yeah… I know I can.”

The two high-fived each other while chuckling, and then embraced in a hug, becoming newfound friends. Who knew it was that easy to make friends? The others were cheery and jubilant, although Carlos, John, and Paul were still deciding what to do with June.

“So are we going to kill her?” Carlos asked the others, “I feel like it’d be a waste of our time and the lives June has taken away if we just let her live. But that’s just me.”

John shrugged and turned to Paul.

“Paul… How about you decide? She was the one who tried to kill you after all,” John shared his opinion. Paul nodded.

“Seems fair enough,” Paul decided. He turned to June, his eyes sparkling with compassion and empathy,

“June…” Paul said, “I have not known you for long. But I do know that you love Ben a lot. You care about him a lot! If you’re willing to do that much for a person… I think you can be a good person, if you just try. Maybe we can even be friends!”

Paul’s implant began to glow, and he held his hand out to June. June stared at his hand for a moment. She could feel her inner thoughts betraying her. Telling her she wanted to try her best.

But as June looked around at the others cheering, and then looked back at Paul’s bright smile, she felt her heart boil with rage. These meddling fools destroyed her legacy, defeated her, and had the gall to try to spare her?

June let her heart take over, and she let out a blood curdling scream. She leapt at Paul, and everyone turned their heads and gasped as June began to beat Paul’s head into the ground.

“YOU THINK I’M JUST GOING TO FORGET AND BE YOUR PAL JUST BECAUSE YOU BEAT ME TWICE?” June screamed as she slammed her fists over and over into his face. Paul’s head went limp as June let her emotions spill out into the world, “WELL I’LL TELL YOU ONE THING, THAT’S NOT HOW IT WORKS-”

June let out a gasp and someone yanked her by the hair. Hard.

She was pulled off of Paul. She looked up to see who had pulled her off.

“Ben!” she cried, tears dripping down her cheeks, “Y-You really came! Please, Ben, take care of these… thugs for me! They hurt me so badly.”

Ben had a weird look in his eyes. It was like he wasn’t even there. And his pupils seemed unusually black, almost like swirling voids. Carlos looked at Ben in awe.

“Ben! There you are! Where’d you go after we all teleported back-”

Carlos let out a shriek as vines shot out from the ground and ensnared everyone there. Ian let out a yell and began to thrash around. Ben waved his hand violently, and the vines shifted across the grass, taking everyone except him and June away from the two, just a dozen meters away. The vines let go of them, and they tumbled to the ground.

“What is your friend doing?!” Patricia asked Ian. Chris replied,

“I don’t know. But something’s not right. He’s not usually this quiet.”

They continued to watch on from a distance.

Ben crouched down, looking into June without a word. Vines began to twirl around Ben’s body. A light blue hibiscus began to grow out of Ben’s right eye, blooming its fragrance across the field. June could feel her memories unwind within her mind as the flower grew in his eye. June looked on in horror at her supposed ‘lover’ as Ben placed his two hands together, forming a heart. Ben’s implant began to glow, and a red mist began to pour out from the heart.

“ATTRIBUTE AMPLIFICATION,” Ben shouted. The black void in his left eye grew, covering it and swirling around like a black hole. A smile crept on Ben’s face as he uttered the final part,

“Memory Palace.”

June’s vision was shrouded in darkness.

And then she woke up in a forest unknown to her. June looked up, terrified. Golden fireflies were flying around. And it was night. June got up from the ground.

“Where am I?”

I tamed one and named it chilli! It saved me from two raptors, accompanied me across all sorts of things. It was murdered by mega pirhana :( rip chilli. I love you :(

Don’t tell me the first time you saw them you ran onto a rock thinking they were a saber tooth I mean the first time I saw one there was like a glitch or my game had you know what they were 8 of them walking in a circle doing some richwal before I could get a close look a level 400 dilo one chomped me ( one choooooooooooooooooomp du du dodo doo du) if you seen that show

They are good early game tanks. Built a base by green obelisk and tamed one mid-game cause of event colors. He killed lvl 30 Alpha Raptor so he is now called Alpha's Bane.

I once had a phnomia i named her phiona and she was a good wood gatherer, I was in multiplayer so me and my brother were messing around when he said,can I ride phiona? I said sure (little do I know that it was a bad mistake) anyway he set of 8 minutes later........ I HEAR HIM SCREAMING, BEAVER BEAAAVER ,ITS CHASING ME HELP HEEEELP!,I thought he was messing with me but when he was in sight I saw it THE HORROR INSIDE ME WAS ALOT I ran to him and phiona and he died(it wasn’t phiona it was my brother) I started to shoot at it with trank darts hoping for it to stop and run but it was no good no help it was too late phiona died all because of my brother and I killed all beaver s in my way and sight I tamed 50 carnos high levels the best ones were Larry and Harry and Leo,Leo was the best (not to mention they were all saddled rip phiona): 1up = rip phiona

Got gangbanged

I tamed a phiomia and was super excited since I had the saddle(idk if if was from a gift or smth) but I tamed it and when I was about to go to base a sarco and raptor attacked it my phiomia killed the sarco but later died to do raptor

Iwas trying to fine a mate for my phiomia when a pack of troodons attacked I almost died but my phiomia saved me(his name was sit

One time I decided I was gonna survive in a swamp without leaving. It was obviously difficult, but I could use the phiomas to divert boas and other swamp threats. Out of all the phiomas, one of them was specifically helpful, so I decided to protect her. After around 10 minutes of searching for fiber I found her knocked out in a puddle barely out of reach of a piranha swarm. I tamed her and now she helps me survive and can now easily fight and kill the boas that she once ran from.

I hope everyone can find an ally like the unnamed phioma I found

No…… Moonbeam died! Moon, pls tell me you’re kidding!! And what about Orbit?? He had just admitted he loved her!! It was the perfect love story. *sniff,sniff* *blows nose* Moon, you really know how to make me cry reading a good book…..😭. But seriously.., you’ve done really good on the book.
