Jaws of the Crocodile- Chapter 12
“I request an audience with the chief council!” Kai yelled as they barreled into the redwoods village.
Before anyone could say no, Kai rushed into the main building, Jenny and the kapros right on his heels.
“There’s an attack coming.” Kai said to the chief council. “From the Weathertop.”
“This is an urgent matter.” the Head Councilman said. “We must prepare.”
The villagers were ordered to go on a taming spree. They came back with argys, Rexes, brontos, therizinosaurus, and many other creatures. Spike walls were built, and everything was ultra-fortified.
Kai climbed atop an argy. “I think I’ll name him Shockclaw.” He said.
A dust cloud of raptors, trikes, carnos, and hundreds of other tames were coming their way.
The attack was coming.
Jaws of the Crocodile- Chapter 9
Nox peeked around the room. The coast was clear. He nodded to the others, and they silently dropped off the rafters and onto the floor of the grand bedroom.
“I think the wolves are gone.” Whispered Pouncer.
“Wait, listen!” Cutter said. They went silent.
“I’m telling you, Spirit, they went in there!” It was the Alpha Male.
Spirit, his mate, was not interested. “They went into that bedroom!” She yelped.
Nox gulped. They were about to be found out.
“Hey, I heard there’s a fighting match going on in the center of town.” Another wolf piped up. “Some griffin named Flare is fighting Massacre.”
“No way.” Said Spirit in disbelief. The wolves left.
“Hey, we should go too!” Cutter said. “Flare is fighting!”
The kapros eventually made it to the center of town. All the tamed creatures in the city were clustered around a massive arena. Inside, Flare was in the heat of battle against the giga who had roared at them earlier.
“Whoa, this is cool!” Said Nox. Flare danced around Massacre’s blows, and delivered a sharp kick with his talons. He then cut the giga deep with his beak. His strength was no match for Flare’s speed. In minutes, Massacre had yielded, and a Gigantopithecus gave Flare a trophy with a giga head carved onto it in obsidian.
“What’s going on here?” Haphis and Chiron stepped into the ring. All the creatures turned their heads.
Nox had a feeling that he, the other kapros, and Flare were about to get in a lot of trouble.

Chapter four
As we walked I asked “ what happened back there? What’s up with you and Chief?” He pretended to not hear me as he slipped some mejoberries into his paura’s mouth. He responded “ chief always acts like I’m obsolete. I’m not. But… why am I telling you this?!” I responded “ dude chill. I got a plan.” Remember that time I nearly died next to the lagoon?” George responded “yeah. Everyone does.” I smiled and said “ well it was to a thezo. If we can tame that you will not be obsolete! We will be heroes! If were lucky it would still be living by the lagoon and we can tranq it! “ George smiled back and asked “ do you have a map?”

Chapter two
I should probably explain where I am. I honestly couldn’t if I tried. All I know is that me and my “ tribe” are on an island infested with things that want to kill us. I’m not sure I could call us a tribe though. More like a primitive gang. This whole mess reminded me of Lord of the Flies. I read that book when I was little. Well my mom did but I can barely remember life back then. I should probably stop talking to myself before it gets weird.
“Too late” said a voice “ Get moving Kid Rockwell. It’s meeting time!”. This is George. He is my friend and fellow survivor. I hate meeting time. It’s where we meet up and talk about our enemies, allies, and the lack of food. Apparently the scouts found a crippled farm tribe that was recovering from a raid.

Jaws of the Crocodile- Chapter 8 part 2
As Kai and Jenny were having a tender moment, the kapros were being chased through the streets by angry direwolves. They jumped up onto a rooftop, knocking off shingles, which fell, hitting the wolves in their heads.
“What are you doing?” An argy screeched. Seven more came, and they all dove at Nox. Pouncer knocked him aside, and the argys grabbed her.
Cutter knocked an argy onto the rooftop, brick shingles sliding down like an avalanche. Pouncer escaped and they managed to duck into a back alley, escaping their pursuers.
“That was close.” Panted Cutter.
“I wonder how Jenny and Kai are doing.” Said Nox.
“Hey, who are you? Roared a giga chained to a massive post at the far side of the next street bordering the alley.
The kapros didn’t care if he was chained up. They hated gigas more than they hated anything.
The wolves spotted them, and then the argys. The chase led them up to the blue obelisk.
The kapros dashed straight into the chiefs palace.
The wolves went in after them.

NEW FANFICTION SERIES!📖
Prologue and Chapter 1 of Queen of the Skies
Written by: Unicat
QUEEN OF THE SKIES
PROLOGUE:
Quartz was a quetzal who was always determined.
She always had the determined look on her face since the day she was born. She always thought no one could be the best but her. She never thought anyone could control her. Until one day...
CHAPTER 1: Unconscious
Quartz felt the warm air rub up against her beautiful silver wings. She was glad she could fly, if she couldn't, she would've been eaten by the pack of raptors below, their yellow eyes glowing and staring at her.
She looked up at the stars, seeing the blue and green Obelisk up in the sky. She went in the green Obelisk's direction.
She grew hungry minutes later. She went to the redwoods river and got a sabertooth salmon. She gobbled it up and found a nice place to rest at.
_____________
Later the next morning..
Quartz got up and flew to get a salmon to eat before continuing to travel. She devoured the fish in seconds. She was suddenly attacked by a spino and flew away.
She flew to a cliff and saw a tapejara coming toward her. A tapejara? That was unusual, she thought, staring at it. She laid down, hearing these noises. ZZT! ZZT! ZZT! ZZT...
Quartz was unconscious.
When I started playing ark, my dream was to find a quetzal and that’s still my dream cause I’ve never found one. Just kidding! Yes I don’t have one but I have had one, but because of the stupid Xbox personal server wipe it was deleted. It would’ve lived to this day because of all the safety precautions I made for it. For example: I always kept it on high ground and our base was in the literal middle of a river to name a few. Sorry for babbling I’ll get right to the point. My quetzal was my favorite tame for many reasons mostly as a moving base and no I won’t use a raft base unless I’m taming like a Meg or something. So one reason was that with how the camera zoomed out you could see what everyone was doing, and I love the idea of living in a small community on a moving thing. That’s why I love RVs and I’m running out of room so bye y’all.
I set out with a dream. A base composed of Queztals as my foundation, each with a different purpose and utility. It was glorious! They were my aircraft carriers, my colony in the sky, and I loved it. Some were used as a metal transport, others used as tamed dino docks and crafting stations. All armed to the brim with auto turrets and heavy turrets. They were prepped from war and luxury in the sky. What did I name this floating empire you may ask? With eleven in total, I called them Station Eleven.
Update for the Tapeha story:
Well well, after some grind the newest tapejara was finally at 157.5% speed. I tamed a female pulmonoscorpius, and after a long while got her eggs, enough for two kibbles, pretty much a boost for teo rex tames, and thanks to that, I was able to tame a Female and a male Rex, and later on an oviraptor (which supposedly give a boost to mate-boosts eggs) and got three Rex kibbles ready, this time, longneck rifle with darts, why can’t I put a scope with the darts on the longneck? Maybe due to the dart drop over distance? Idk, it doesn’t matter, I was ready. Something I’ve learned over the time is that I don’t need to pre hunt prime meat with most of my tames, usually there’s a paracetarium or any carnivores around them so I can just hunt them for both protection and prime! I lost my ascendant sword tho, which is a freaking boomer but hey, normal swords work too.
So, I got into the newest tapejara, (I’m going to name her in a while, survivor and a freaking fighter, she killed two argentavis on her own, and helped me tame two rexes, two allosaurus(es?) and plenty other minor tames, powerful lady.) and went looking for the previously seen male lvl1 quetzal, which wasn’t that far away from my base also (making a base on the radius spawn of the red obelisk is worth it), spotted it, same strategy
Oh and btw, I was going to write down the strat on the tips here, when I found out SOME PEOPLE HAS ALREADY DISCOVERED IT! I thought I was an original man, a visionary, but now, now, I still am one since I didn’t knew other people had done it previously. Anyways:
Still same tapeha strat, and oh gosh, how fast was tapeha on the first time? The newest tapejara was almost as fast as tapeha or faster, she was keeping up with the quetzal even closer, and the longneck helps a lot, two headshots and 3 body shots, but thats with the 343 dmg which boosts the tranq dart efficiency from 26 to 86 tranq dmg, it was easy, and the location was perfect, top of a small mountain before the swamp and redwood forest, I was protected from most beasts and had an almost 360 degree view of carnivores protection and theris, oh gosh those bastards. Left it there for starving and started hunting potential dangers, until I saw a paracetarium, on boy the primes, got five from using the sword, had I used the tapejara it’d be way more but hey, it was worth it, used around 35 narcotics to maintain the quetz on torpor until I had sure it was good for taming (around 750 food out of 1200) three rex kibbles and it was done, but he ended up eating all the prime as well, but hey, it worked, another quetzal, this eill eventually be mu downfall, this need for vengeance, this ambition, this hubristic behavior, it never ends well. But for now, the newest tapejara is worthy of a name, I’ll seek a good one for her.
Right now I have two quetz that I’ll use only for more cargo of metal and obsidian, since I can’t yet have the saddle nor the plataform, nor have any other need for them unless my egoistic and maybe narcissistic needs.
And about my vengeance, I won’t be killing the griffins for now, I have to get stronger, the alpha raptor however, there’s a daily pursuit that lusts for him, and so do I.
I’ll enjoy that very much.
Report’s over.
