Twisted Sands- Chapter 9- The Final Chapter!
“Should we trust him?” Nox whispered to Cutter.
“No.” Cutter said. “We shouldn’t. I will kill him if anything goes wrong.”
Haphis entered the room.
“I need an army.” He growled.
“Do it yourself.”
Haphis held up a sword. He pointed it at Slav. He raised the sword.
—————————
“I can’t believe we’re taming Rexes for a madman.” Slav muttered. He rubbed the stump that was once his left arm.
“Shut it.” Haphis said. “Or your right arm will be gone as well.”
“There’s the obelisk.” Kai said. “Are we ready?”
“It’s time.”
—————————
The same old flash of light as they entered the boss arena. A giant Manticore flying down to meet them. The guardian of the desert was going to be a challenge. The next ark was going to be a challenge. What would the future hold-
Nox opened his eyes. He saw lots of weird mushroom trees. A glowing raptor. A hairless direwolf like animal. He closed his eyes.
Opening them again, he saw that they were in the heat of battle with the Manticore. Had Nox seen the future? He didn’t know. But he saw. He saw a blue Rex take one last bite. The manticore fell to the ground, dead. In an instant, Nox was lying on the ground again. Lying in the mushroom forest. Lying in the next ark.

The Twisted Sands- Not Quite Chapter 1 but this’ll help build the story- By Swamp Guy
“Nice work, 89.” “We’ve got the eggs, let’s head out.”
The guy named 89 just shrugged and hopped on his Megalania. They had gotten three fire wyvern eggs, two posion ones, and four lightning ones.
“My jerboa died this time. I’m not going back.”
“Relax, 89. Just stop bringing shoulder pets to the most dangerous place in the desert!”
“That was my best Jerboa. I almost lost him a million times. I’m not going back.”
Kalo slapped 89 in the face. “I’m a higher rank than you, you son of a-“
“Shut. Up.” 89 held up his hand. Let me say a few things.
“No! NO!” Kalo screamed.
“For starters, there’s an Alpha Wyvern behind us.”
Kalo screamed and ran off, leaving his Thyla for dead. 89 calmly assessed the situation. He took out a compound bow for the initial counterattack. Then, he went all in with his Megalania.
“See, Robber?” 89 said to his Megalania. “That’s where you get when you’re just patient.” He snickered. “I also took all the eggs out of Kalo’s bag.”
—————————
The next week, 89 had finished his base. No tribes, no friends, just turrets, tames, crops, and cool architecture. He hopped on his Fire Wyvern, Flamethrower. It was time to pay an old friend a visit.
Kalo was hunting Deathworms in the dunes, as he always did. 89 geared up in full desert cloth and rode Flamethrower out to the oasis dunes.
“Who are you?” Kalo asked when 89 landed next to him. Kalo was atop a raptor, and he had a Titanoboa clutched in its claws.
“It’s me.” 89 removed his hat.
“You...” Kalo growled. “You stole my Wyvern eggs.”
89 shrugged. “I’d like to recruit you to my new tribe.”
“Why should-“ Kalo started, but he wasn’t able to finish. A massive hole opened up in the sky from far away, and the two people in the dunes thought they could see something fall out of it.
The Twisted Sands- Chapter 1 By Swamp Guy
Read the prologue and the sneak peek in Megapithecus before reading this ;)
The Thorny Dragons clustered around Nox. The other humans and kapros were unconscious. The griffin was dead.
“Wake up, strangers!” Quill slapped the girl’s face.
“Aaagh!” She woke up with a start. She saw the Thorny Dragons. “Aaaugh!”
“That’s...Jenny.” Nox moaned. “Hasn’t seen...whatever you are...before...”
“Flare! He...he’s dead!”
“What?” Kai lifted his head off the ground. Slav, Chiron, Pouncer, and Cutter were up in seconds.
“What’s going on?” Kai asked. “Where are we?”
“The Scorched Earth. The Desert.”
“You mean were on earth?” Slav asked excitedly.
“No, just another ARK.” Chiron mused. “We have to find a way out.”
“There is no was out.” Sandspike said. “This is just where we live.”
“There has to be some way out.” Jenny said. “We just fell from an island into a desert. There has to be an exit.”
“Well, we’re gonna have to find it.” Kai said with determination.
Sorry I keep forgetting to report. For people who are new, I'm Queen_Dragon123. My report for today is I tamed some raptors, unicorn, amargasaurus, magmasaur, etc. But my reason for this being on Phoenix, I kept spawning them, (I was on creative on The Island w/ my Dragon and stuff) and I finally, eventually got it handled and I spawned an instantly tamed Phoenix. And I was like, "Should I name her Blaze or Fire or something?" I eventally names her Flare. -Queen_Dragon123
The Twisted Sands- Chapter 8
Haphis rappelled down into the trench. His Thyla had been scorched by one of the ugly bastard dragons, so he had to do it on foot.
He grabbed a lighting egg and signaled to Commander Reiken. He pulled Haphis up, just as Wyverns completely destroyed the spot Haphis had been two seconds ago.
“We have to get out. NOW!” Haphis commanded. They hopped out of the trench to see three Wyverns in front of them. They turned to run, but then they saw what was behind them.
Four Thylas and two Kapros.
—————————
“Haven’t seen you in a while...” Haphis grumbled.
“Well, we’re seeing you now.” Kai snarled at him. “And you’ve changed since the last time you attempted to kill us.”
Haphis looked back at the black spikes and the corruption that was taking over his whole body. He stood up.
“What do you want from me?”
“We want you to not be a problem for us. Whether that means that you’re dead, or just imprisoned, that’s what we want.”
“We also want to get off this ark.” Jenny noted.
“I can help you with that.” Haphis said. “I have the artifacts. It is time to ascend again.”
The Twisted Sands- Chapter 6
“We suspect that Haphis’s base is here, in the northern mountains near the trench.” Kalo pointed to a marked dot on his map. “We need to find and capture him.”
“We need faster mounts than Wyverns, thought.” Jenny said.
Two hours later, Kai and the others on Thylas were making their way across the desert. Two guards were with them. They came across a massive skeleton. Inside was another skeleton. A human skeleton.
They stopped short as a whistling sound spun through the air.
“Fresh meat...meat...” rasped a horrible voice. A thin, sunburned man stepped out from behind a rock. He held a shotgun. He wore cloth pants, but that was it. He smiled at them. An evil smile. He shot the guards and dragged their bodies away.
“Let’s. Get. Out.” Slav whispered. They ran away until they had put enough distance between them and the man. The northern mountains came into view ahead.
The Twisted Sands- Chapter 4
Haphis looked around. Where was he? He didn’t see his army anywhere. What he did see was a Deathworm coming out of the ground.
“Commander Haphis, wake up!” A soldier shook him. “There’s a group of people coming for our camp.”
Haphis looked out the window of the small Adobe base. Three Wyverns, two Thorny Dragons, three kapros-
Haphis didn’t have to count. He knew who these people were.
“We know you’re in here!” Chiron yelled.“Get out and face us!”
Haphis thought silently for a minute. He pressed a button.
Ten Rock Golems came running at them from out of nowhere. Hurling boulders, smashing everything. Kai yelled something before a Boulder knocked him off his Wyvern, but no one heard him.
—————————
Arciro jumped as the Defense Units appeared out of the darkness. He and his Parasaur were no match for the robots. He had nowhere to run.
Suddenly, spikes flew into the defense units. Hundreds of small spikes.
The shooters were frilled raptor things. Arciro had seen one before, on the edge of the Desert Dome.
“Where’s our thanks?!” One of the riders laughed. They all wore Tek armor, completely obscuring their faces.
“Uh...thanks.” Arciro said.
“I don’t trust these guys.” Whispered Sanko. Sanko was the HomoDeus, the ascended being in Arciro’s mind who had resurrected him on earth.
“Quiet, you. They saved me, so I trust them.” Arciro thought.
“Fine.” Said Sanko. “That’s just fine.”
Arciro had a bit more protection, at least. But his saviors did seem a bit...strange.
—————————
Sean rubbed his head. “You mean the Aberration Cave?” He asked the man.
“No.” He replied. “I’ve heard stories of a place like that in another ARK. I think it was called Valguero.”
“That’s where I’m from.” Sean chuckled.
“This is true aberration.”
“I see.”
“Shut up.” The man whispered.
“What?”
The man pointed to a three pronged plant sticking out of the ground. They were in some sort of device, like the one in the Valguero cave.
“That’s just a plant.” Sean was confused.
“You obviously have a lot to learn.” The man threw a dodo at the plant. Except it wasn’t a plant.
A massive snake burst out of the ground, attacking with balls of posion-and a three pronged tail.
“This is a Basilisk.”
“I see.”
“Well, let me teach you a few more things about the caverns.”
Footnote by Swamp Guy: I will be starting a new story in Basilisk. It’ll be called “Dark Extinction.” It’ll cover Arciro and Sean’s separate adventures.
The Twisted Sands- Chapter 2 By Swamp Guy
They sat by a fire, lazily cooking meat. The kapros and Thorny Dragons dozed in the hot sun.
“Get up, you.” A voice startled Nox, waking him up. The others were bound and gagged.
“Who are you?” One of them asked in a strong Australian accent.
“Kai.”
“Jenny.”
“Slav.”
“Chiron.”
“Nox.”
“Cutter.”
“Sandspike.”
“Quill.”
“Snork....snore....what’s going on?” Pouncer woke up, rubbing her eyes.
“We’ve heard of you.” They said. “We saw you fall from the sky.”
“Who are you?” Chiron asked.
“Kalo.” The first one said.
“Xencrixeir.” The other one said. “But just call me 89.”
“We need your help.” Kalo said.
—————————
Kalo and 89 had built a massive fortress in the dunes that lined the ARK. Turrets were set up. Massive...dragons? Kai was puzzled. The dragon they fought back on the island was obviously never meant to be tamed. Large bugs with sword hands, giant moths, camel-like dinos, more Thorny Dragons, cute little mouse things... this place was very different from the home Kai had known.
“Do you recognize this person?” 89 held up a piece of paper. On it was a familiar face.
A familiar, corrupted, malformed, face.
“Haphis!” Jenny gasped.
“So you do know him.” Kalo said.
“Unfortunately, yes.” Kai sighed. “You want us to help take him down?”
89 replied with a laugh. “There’s a few things you need to learn about the desert.”
The Twisted Sands- Chapter 5
Three dead Wyverns lay, sprawled out on the ground, their rotting corpses being eaten by insects. Under a boulder, Kai was most likely dead. The kapros and the thorny dragons lay there, too hurt and torpored to move. Slav, Chiron and Jenny lay on the ground, unconscious. Haphis’s loud voice boomed through the air.
“Don’t you get it, fools?!” He cackled. “I will defeat the final guardian of this ARK, and I WILL BE THE ONE TO ASCEND!!”
“No you won’t.” A dead man’s voice from under a rock said. “I will.”
Kai leapt out from his apparent grave and tossed medical brews to his allies. They stood up, ready to fight once again.
“Need a hand?” 89 yelled. He and Kalo came in on Lighting Wyverns, ready for battle. Haphis’s rock golems were killed, and it was time for the final stand.
“FOOLS!” Haphis yelled again. His base began lifting into the air. It flew off, propelled by some unknown force. Within seconds, it was far away.
Scorched Earth
Season 1 Episode 2
Firetalon's body lay in sand decaying slowly. The Scorpion eating her burst into flames. The Phoenix was back, and hungry. Smokeclaw searched the lake and found the den. He cautiously walked inside. All of a sudden, a bunch of bullets hit him and he felt sleepy.
