Chapter 11:
The Colony, Giant Raids, and Mega Gigas: Part 1 (Chosen Rex Part 1 Finale: Part 1)
That night, Melvin sat on a bed under the ship’s planks. He took out his bag and took out a cyropod. It had one of his favorite Gigas, Null. She was a Level 145 Giga who almost died to a Titan the night Melvin found her. Melvin managed to kill the Titanosaur and the Giga was unconscious, at 12 HP out of over 80K, and he was starving. Melvin shoved a ton of prime meat in her mouth, and when she woke up, she saw Melvin. “Hey. It’s ok. I’m not going to hurt you. I saved you.” Null looked down at him, injured and upset. She was happy someone had saved her. For 3 weeks, they would play together, and hunt together, and during the nights, Melvin let her go to her nest to hunt with her pack. Null wasn’t officially tamed, but Melvin let her heal so it could happen one day. And that night came. While Melvin was resting in a small shack outside of Moonshot, Null and her friends came over to him. Null broke the walls and grabbed Melvin’s storage box, full of tranqs and an ascendant longneck. Melvin woke up and ran outside. “What? Oh. This? What…?” Melvin said. Null growled and licked the shooter. “Wait… do you…” Melvin said. Null nodded. “Dude… why didn’t you say so earlier?” Melvin said. He grabbed Null’s leg. He put the tranqs in the longneck rifle and did what Null wanted Melvin to do: tame her and her friends and become such powerful Gigas. Melvin did the Strong Cave for a ton of ascendant Giga saddles. He did it with Feron for Mosa saddles and shotguns. Melvin would check all the boxes, and when he found a Giga saddle, he would hide it when Feron wasn’t looking. When Melvin tamed all the Gigas, he went on a journey to saddle them all and went on hunts with them. However, Feron took away Null’s entire pack, and Melvin had Moonshot protect her. Melvin decided to get Null, hoping he’d use her again. And that time was almost here. He had an ascendant Giga saddle in his bag. While looking at the cyropod, Core walked in and Melvin quickly put it in his bag. “Listen up, Man. U R PU. Do you understand me? You stink. You need to be washed. We have a shower on the other side of the ship.” Core said. “Can I just at least eat dinner first?” Melvin said. “You should’ve eaten before we got on here if you wanted to eat before shower. Now get down there!” Core yelled. Melvin nodded and ran towards the other side of the ship to get a shower. Core walked over to Melvin’s bag and looked in it. “He’d better not be hiding something in here.” He sneered. He reached in and went to get something. He grabbed a metal rod and pulled it out. It was part of a saddle. It was an ascendant Giga saddle. “How did he get this? Why was he keeping it away from us? This thing… WHAT THE HECK!!!?? MAN, GET DOWN HERE AFTER YOUR SHOWER!!” Core screamed. Melvin gasped. He must have found his Giga saddle with 982 armor!! That would’ve made N-Terminator unstoppable. He used it on Null to protect her. He needed to do something. He knew: knock him out. He had 2 stacks of narcotics in his inventory, and 8 more in the bag. He ran back to Core and threw a poison grenade in front of him. “What the… Man! You were supposed to… take a…” Core said. He fell unconscious almost instantly. He took out some crops to eat and then grabbed his saddle to put back in. He moved Core to Feron’s quarter, across the room from the shower and on the opposite side of Melvin’s quarter. Feron kept driving the ship through the peaceful night.
The next morning, Core woke up in Feron’s bed, next to the shower. Melvin was in the shower, pointing his butt at Core’s eyes. “What the… EW!! Man, stop that! That’s disgusting!” Core said. “Oh, you know what else is disgusting? You call me Man for two reasons: that I’m the one to kill all girls, and because of Neddy! And if Melvin and Neddy were why, that would’ve been fine.” Melvin said. “Shut up. Talk after you’re done! I should’ve added curtains to the front of the room! So then I wouldn’t see Man showering.” Core said. “Stop calling me that!!” Melvin yelled.
Later, Melvin was dressed in some clothes and chowed down on some crops and meat in his quarter. Then, something crawled out of Melvin’s bag. Melvin turned around, and nothing was there. “Okay… well, that was weird,” Melvin said. He kept eating and then heard hissing noises. “Wait a second. Noodle?” Melvin said. He looked in his bag and found a baby Compy. “What were you doing in there?” Melvin said. Noodle screeched. “Carno? No wait? Do you mean the dino? Tacet? What does Tacet have to do with that? No? Not Tacet? Wait. The name of a dino? Do you mean Gunner’s Compy? Wait. Was the egg I borrowed from him fertilized? That might explain why he kept telling me to give it back before the hatching. Okay. The implant says your name is Noodle… oh, my god, heck. Your melee… we need to keep you hidden. We can’t have Feron finding you. There’s raw meat in my bag for taming. You can have that.” Melvin said. Noodle nodded and jumped back into the bag.
After a few hours, a forest came into sight. “Yes! Yes! Man, we’re here.” Feron said. “What?! We are! Okay. Okay. I’ll get my stuff.” Melvin said. Feron nodded and went back to the wheel. Melvin sent a message to Moonshot via his implant. “Guys, I am almost to Carol. This means the plan is about to begin. This cannot fail.” Melvin put his bag on and ran towards the plank. Core was mad at Melvin. He knew something was up. This was not good. Moonshot had to arrive as fast as possible, or else Core would know about the plan. They docked on the shore, and Melvin ran off the ship and along the beach. He ran into the forest with a map. “Okay. The cave should be around here.” Melvin said.
“Perfect. Let’s sit back and watch as Man turns this planet into a man-ruled world. He is truly a great survivor.” Feron said. “I don’t think so. I found a Giga saddle in Melvin’s bag. That thing had 982 armor and he never gave it to us.” Core said. “Oh, please. He barely tells us things, and even when he does, it’s not that bad. He would never think of such a horrible plan.” Feron said. Horrible? To Giga Reaper R, yes. To Moonshot, it’s a chance at redemption.
Carno, Katniss, Gunner, and their dinos were on a Mosa platform saddle, traveling through the ocean to get to Carol. After a few hours of traveling, they saw a ship. “We’re almost there. I can see the two dictators waiting around.” Carno said. “Let’s see if I can snipe them,” Gunner said. Katniss took out an ascendant crossbow and put a toxicant arrow on it. So did Gunner. They aimed at a dictator. Gunner and Katniss shot at the same time. Then, it hit them on the head. “Gotcha,” Carno said. They went to grab the two, but when they looked, they saw that they were just painted dummies. “Oh, no. It’s a trap!” Carno yelled. Everyone tried to run into the forest, then a net fell from the trees and captured them all. “Did you think we’d fall for that? We knew you were going to come to stop Man. These idiots don’t know us.” Feron said. “Okay, I know you’ve tortured thousands of survivors, taken down tons of islands, and…” Carno said. “Blah, blah, blah. I get it. You hate the things we’re doing. You can come to stop us, but Core will call the others and tell them to raid Moonshot. Unless… you leave right now.” Feron sneered. “What? You can’t do that!” Gunner said. “Hmm. I think you have some cryopods, right? You have some creatures on you. Let me see that bag.” Core said. “No. You’re not getting it.” Carno said. “Okay. I’ll give you two options. You give us that bag, we let you go, and you leave. I won’t harm Moonshot for now. Or, you can refuse, you stay here trapped, and we will call the rest of Reaper to raid Moonshot and destroy them.” Feron said. The Mosa was underwater, and he was holding a ton of poison grenades from the ship in his mouth. They were about to explode. The Mosa knew what he had to do. He leaped out of the water and shot the grenades at the dictators. Carno and Katniss put up a metal shield to protect them. The poison gas knocked the dictators and the Mosa out. The Mosa had 200,000 torpor, and the poison grenades were extremely potent. “What? He did it! Oh, my god.” Carno said. Gunner used a spear to cut the net and they walked over to the dictators. “Okay, we need to keep them down until Melvin gets back with the colony. Oh, no.” Carno said. The Mosa was dying since he was out of water. The others tried to pull him back, then Katniss threw out her Giga and it tried to pull the Mosa back, but the platform saddle made it impossible. Carno and Gunner took off the platform saddle and the Giga pulled the Mosa back into the sea. Extremely injured and unconscious, he wasn’t going to wake up for a while. “Okay. Gunner, you stay here and keep the two unconscious.” Carno said. He threw out Tacet and a Giga to help him. “You two, be good and help Gunner. Me and Katniss will go out for some Gigas.” Carno said. He got on Tacet, Katniss got on her Giga, and they went out into the forest.
“Okay. Good. They knocked the two out. That’s good. Now to find the cave.” Melvin said. He was near a river, and across it was a huge mountain. He swam across the river and ran towards the mountain. Then, he saw a small hole in the distance. Melvin ran to it, and he saw a Rex in the distance. And when he looked at its level, he freaked out. “WHAT!? A Level 450!! Okay, I really want to tame that, but I need the colony. I don’t have forever, and… you know what? I’ll come back for that Rex.” Melvin said. He ran into the cave and walked through some tunnels. “Okay. Now where’s that colony? What’s the name again? I think it was Utopia X. I’m not sure.” Melvin said. Then, he could hear screeching in the distance. Then, there was chatting. “Okay. I’m going in the right direction. I just need to be careful. I need to convince them to come with me to destroy Giga Reaper R.” Melvin said. Then, a snake came. It was a tamed snake. “What? Oh, hey. I’m not going to hurt you. You’re part of them, right?” Melvin said. The snake nodded. “Okay. Could you lead me to the colony? I need their help.” Melvin said. The snake left, and Melvin followed him. “Hey! Where’s Terdon? Oh, there he… wait. Who is that?” Someone said. Terdon was the name of the snake, and that person was the one who tamed that snake. “Okay. I know what you’re all thinking. I’m a Giga Reaper R hostage. I’m here to end you all. But no. I hate them. I want to help you. My name’s Melvin. I’m in a tribe called Moonshot. We need your help.” Melvin said. Then, hundreds of survivors came out of the houses and surrounded him. “What’s he talking about… Why is he here… Does he mean the Giga Reaper R?” The survivors were unsure about Melvin’s presence. “Listen. We have come to tell you to fight Giga Reaper R and distract them while Moonshot and I go to Demon Number.” Melvin said. Everyone gasped. Then, the tribe leader came out of the crowd. “Okay. Listen up, Melvin. My name is Helena. I am the leader of this tribe. And I won’t go distract them. We’ve lost too many survivors already. If we went to fight them… we’d go extinct.” Helena said. “What? What happened? Oh, wait a minute. You’re that tribe Core said he tried to destroy. A long time ago, he and a huge Giga army went out for this island. I had nothing to do with that. He forced me to come, but I managed to sneak off the ship and stay in the Arctic for days. I did die tons of times and had to travel thousands of meters back to Moonshot once, but it was worth it. I would rather die than kill every single girl in the world. I need your most powerful Gigas.” Melvin said. “Yes. You got that story right. It is sad. And we have made an all-powerful Giga army. Most of the Gigas were leveled up near 900. We can send in some ships. What about the dictators that sent you?” Helena said. “My friends are keeping them knocked out. Also, I need your help to tame a 450 Rex just outside the cave.” Melvin said. “What? There’s no way. There’s a max level Rex… that’s perfect…” “Okay, everyone! Settle down. We’re going to need that Rex. If we can tame that, we can get a Rex army going.” Helena said. “You can have that Rex, but we need to get back to the Island soon. Once the dictators realize the others were knocked out, we will have problems. Okay. Get your cryopods out and get those Gigas on your ships. Let’s go.” Melvin said. “Hold on! This is dangerous, you know. What if they followed us here?” Helena said. “They won’t because they’ll be distracted with me,” Melvin said. “Dude, what if they caught you and threw into you-know-what? Melvin, we need to tell you something.” Helena said. “I know. I heard about what they did to you. I was mad at the dictators. That tribe needs to be stopped. They’ve done this for far too long. What they’ve done to me… what they did to you… I need to go to extreme measures if we want them dead. But… since you’re all locked on permadeath… all it takes is one slip-up… and that’s it. They’ll take over the ARK universe. You’ll all be dead. I’ll be the only person on Moonshot left. I’m not, and I quote, “the one male that will end the reign of all girls and ensure man takes over the world.” They got me wrong! I’m not who they call “Man”. I’m Melvin. I deserve freedom. I wanted Giga Reaper R dead. Since the day they took me in, all I wanted for me and my friends was freedom. But when they introduced L.A.V.A, I knew I couldn’t even try to hurt any of the dictators. They keep threatening Moonshot. They have closed in on them, almost killed so many of my friends, and destroyed so many bases. They’ve killed tens of thousands of survivors and tens of thousands of creatures in the past 50 years! So if I can destroy them without the cost of everyone I love dying, then I’ll do it! If I can just… watch one of the dictators die for good… I just really want freedom.” Melvin said. He started crying softly. The snake went up to him and cuddled him. Then, his bag started shaking. Then a cryopod opened and a Giga came out. It was Null. “Huh? GRRRR…” Null snarled. “Hey, Null. It’s okay. They’re not going to hurt you. They’ll help us end Reaper.” Melvin said. Null looked down, and she got kind of upset. Helena walked over to Melvin as he started crying. “Hey. It’s okay. We’ll get the Gigas out and the ships ready. We’ll be safe with them.” She said. “No. You can’t. Remember the disease? It’ll hold us back. You need to stay here.” Melvin said. “No. I want to come.” Helena said. “Dude. What if Feron sees you!? I can’t let you die. I can’t face him again with you. Not after what happened last time!” Melvin said. He was having flashbacks to the last time they met each other. Feron almost killed her, and Melvin was distraught. Melvin almost died saving her, and when he returned, Feron threw him into a prison. It was better than L.A.V.A, but it was still pretty bad. He would rather die than watch Helena die at the hands of the dictators. Melvin yelled and ran out of the cave. He couldn’t risk Helena’s life again. He loved being with the colony. He used to be in their tribe until Feron took him away. And then Melvin had to watch himself be forced to lock everyone in the tribe and disease them permanently. They would never respawn if they died. Melvin never forgave himself for that and promised never to let anyone in the tribe die. Especially not Helena. Melvin knew he couldn’t lose them, and he was not going to risk them. But he needed to, even though he knew it could cost him Helena’s life. “I can’t do this. I’m putting so many survivors at risk, and they all have the permadeath disease thing.” Melvin said as he sat outside of the cave entrance, crying. Null came out and looked down. Melvin wanted Giga Reaper R dead but didn’t know how to destroy them without the cost of everyone he loved dying. If the plan failed, everyone would die. Then, a group of survivors came out of the cave. “Melvin. We’re with you. We’ll protect everyone. We will not let anyone die.” Someone said. “Let’s go get the Gigas and the ships ready.” Helena said as she held her hand out. Melvin took it and Helena helped him up. “Okay. I’ll check on the others. You get the army ready.” Melvin said. Helena nodded. Melvin was about to risk 5,000 survivors' worth of lives to get an army to destroy Reaper. But he was ready. Melvin ran towards the shore.
As the sun started to move into the west, Melvin arrived at the shore and found Carno and Katniss. Their creatures were next to them. Then, he saw a Giga with them. Level 671. “Oh, hey! Did you get the colony?” Carno said. “Yes. They’re all coming. Let’s get ready for what may be the worst night of our lives.” Melvin said. “Come on. You’re going to be okay. They’ll be fine.” Carno said. “Guys. You don’t understand. Feron made me do something to all of them over 10 years ago. I can’t say what I did, but I diseased all of their implants. What it means is that they’re diseased with permadeath, so they can never respawn. And there’s no cure.” Melvin said. “What? Why didn’t you tell us? Carno said. “I just didn’t want to. It was horrible and I tried to forget about it, hoping they would never target the colony. I didn’t even know it was them until I saw them! I was hoping Feron would never try to kill them again. But now they’re trying again. And this time, it’s worse. If this goes wrong…” Melvin said. “Melvin, you could’ve just told us. We’ll ensure they don’t die. We’ll stay away from Demon Number and help you.” Carno said. “No. I’m the one who did this. I need to go there alone.” Melvin said. He was about to get on the Mosa when Null and Katniss grabbed him. “No. You can’t do that.” Katniss said. “They’ll just force me to kill everyone! I’d rather die than watch the dictators force me to kill every last girl in the world.” Melvin said. Null whimpered and shook her head. “I’m sorry, Null. Keep the colony safe, okay?” Melvin said. Null screeched and grabbed Melvin. “I know. I don’t want to leave. But I have to. If they forced me to kill the colony…” Melvin said. “Guys. He’s right. We’re risking 5,000 permadeath-diseased survivors. Melvin loves all of them. Like he said, he will die if he has to end all the girls in the world. He needs to go alone.” Gunner said. “Come on. You can’t be doing this. You guys…” Katniss said. “Look. I need to go alone. I can’t watch everyone I love die. This is risky. But it has to be done. Take my entire Theri army. All my Gigas. And please… please, don’t die. You die forever, I die forever. I can’t live without you guys.” Melvin said. “Melvin… are you saying…” Katniss said as she started to cry. “Yes. I love you all a lot. You’re like family to me. The ones that tortured me were people that I could forget about when I was with you. I won’t watch you battle and die. I’ll return when I can.” Melvin said. Null licked him and the rest walked up to him and hugged him. Melvin put down a bed, some boxes, some crafting stations, a campfire, and a fridge for all his prime meat. The others started crying as the Mosa started to set out. Then, the colony came out of the forest. They had thousands of cryopods, filled with ships and Gigas. “Ready?” Helena said. “Yes,” Carno said. “Dude. What the heck is wrong?” Helena said as she walked up to Carno. “Melvin… I didn’t get a chance to tell him. Journey… she loves Melvin. And he never knew that, and we didn’t think he’d care so much about us all either.” Carno said. “Let’s go,” Katniss said. Helena nodded. As cryopods opened, ships went off, and Gigas were summoned, Core and Feron were locked on Helena’s ship. The sun was setting on what would soon be one of the saddest nights of Melvin’s life.
Chapter 12
Giant Raids, Mega Gigas, and Near-Death Experiences: Part 2 (The Chosen Rex: Part 1 Finale: Part 2 (The Grand Finale of The Chosen Rex Part 1!!!)
Melvin was lying on his bed, chowing down on some cooked prime meat. He was apprehensive about the others. “What if they all died? No. I can’t go there yet. I just need to get two high-level Gigas and get the heck out of there. I need to get them and return them to Moonshot as soon as possible. If I see a death message, I’m going to be mad.” Melvin thought to himself as he took out a spyglass and looked through it to see if he was close. After half an hour of sailing, Melvin saw a dark forest in the distance. “Perfect. There’s a huge mountain range on the other end of that forest. Let’s do this.” Melvin said. The Mosa soon docked on the beach, and Melvin witnessed a raptor. He checked the level. Level 666. He wasn’t there for even 10 seconds and he found a max-level Raptor. He took out some tranqs and shot some at the head as he threw a bola at him. Then, the raptor fell unconscious in seconds. But Gigas that were Level 666 would have over 300K torpor. If he wanted to tame two, he needed thousands of tranqs and some spare longnecks. He had a storage box full of tranqs and longnecks. Melvin shoved prime meat into the Raptor’s implant to get it tamed. This is ARK. What’d we expect? Melvin ran into the forest with all the tranqs on him.
Later that evening, he found a Giga pair; a Level 632 male, and a Level 666 female. Melvin put down a trap and lured the Gigas in. He did what people do with creatures they want to tame. Melvin used a turret to shoot the tranqs automatically. He could feel something bad was about to happen, so he had to tame those Gigas as fast as humanly possible. With the turrets, Melvin shot darts at their heads as fast as he could. If he didn’t get to the Island soon, his friends could die.
As the sun set and the sky darkened, the ships were sailing towards the Island. On the main ship, the Moonshot people were sitting in the ship’s basement. Core and Feron were both still unconscious, and they were contained in a machine. It held their body towards the wall, and their implants were put in a dangerous position where any wrong movements would blast spikes at them. They didn’t have the ability to talk to the others through their implant, and they couldn’t move. Katniss, Carno, and Helena looked at them. “Okay, I’ll go and tell the others to get to the northern Arctic shore. We have to go straight for the volcano’s slope.” Helena said. “Good idea. We can’t have Feron seeing you.” Katniss said. Then, Core and Feron started to wake up. “Oh… what just happened? How long were we– WHAT THE HECK!? Where is Man!?” Core yelled. “Oh, he’s busy somewhere else. You can’t do anything to us, can you?” Carno said. “You stupid Moonshot people! We’re going to destroy you.” Feron said. “Not if we destroy you first! Melvin set you two up. While it was your idea to go to Carol, it was Melvin’s idea to distract you two.” Carno said. “Where are we?” Core said. “We’re on a ship. You two are being held hostage by us and some other helpers. Utopia X. And they’re all on ships, traveling to the Island to destroy your base. We have a lot of Titanosauruses and Gigas.” Carno said. “Utopia X? I knew it. Man was up to something stupid!” Core said. “Hold on. I know who the tribe leader of this colony is. It’s that stupid Helena! The one survivor we never managed to kill because of Man’s shenanigans. Let me down now.” Feron said. “No. There’s nothing you can do about this.” Katniss said. “Look who it is. Level 14 survivor who killed one of our tribemates permanently. I’ll ensure you all die.” Feron said. “I wouldn’t kill you here. The others would see the death message and Melvin would get thrown into you-know-what. And the rest would destroy Moonshot. But you will stay trapped.” Katniss said. “If you call off this… assassination thing… we’ll leave you and Man unharmed. All you have to do is let me kill her.” Feron said. “Don’t say it,” Carno said. “Don’t call her the thing,” Katniss said. “I can say it if I want to. You can’t even hurt me. You’d get me killed and Reaper would destroy your tribe. Why, I should kill you right now.” Feron said. “Try. Try and see what happens. You’re just going to commit eternal suicide just so that we can all die?” Carno said. “I just want her dead. Man has kept her hidden for years. And so has the rest of the colony. You’re just ensuring Helena dies. Forever. Face it, Moonshot. Man is not someone to be messed with. He’ll turn on you all just to protect her. Man loves you so much that he’d do anything to protect you. Even if it means killing someone from Moonshot.” Feron said. “Dude. I know you hate Man, but this is too much. You’re going too far.” Core said. “Shut up. I want her dead now.” Feron said. “What? Look, this is too cruel. What do you expect to do when she walks down here?!” Core said. “Okay. I’ve got a ton of food. I think we’re ready for…” Helena said. She had food in her hands and was getting the others a snack. She dropped everything when she saw the dictators. “Feron. Feron, don’t. Don’t! DON’T!!!!!!!” Core screamed. “Yes. Twitcher Woman. Time to die.” Feron said. He kicked his bag and a cryopod opened. A Raptor came out and ripped the trap apart. Carno tried to shoot him and Feron threw tasers at everyone. Core was upset. He did not like Feron’s behavior towards Helena. He knew this was too much. Katniss tried to grab him, and Feron grabbed her. “You think you can stop me?” Feron sneered. He was about to start choking her when suddenly, something hit the Raptor. It screeched and collapsed to the ground, unconscious. Feron ran to get Helena, and she started running. Carno was about to run after him, then Core yelled to stop. “Hey! Hey. I know this sounds stupid, but you should let me out.” Core said. “You think I’m dumb enough to do that?” Carno said. “Okay, I know. I’ve done a ton of horrible things to you and Moonshot. But I can help. Feron will stop at nothing to kill Helena. Absolutely nothing.” Core said. “What?” Carno said. “Yeah. When I say nothing, I mean nothing. Feron has tried to force Melvin to drive him to Carol.” Core said. “Wait a minute. You seriously just called him by his real name?” Carno said. “Yeah. And Feron is a madman. Feron even once injured me when Helena was on the run. If it wasn’t for Melvin, she would’ve died a long time ago.” Core said. “Oh, my god. It’s as if Death and Satan had a baby. And that baby was raised by Hades And then there’s his friend Athena who wanted that baby to stop. Okay. If you try anything funny, I’ll KO you again.” Carno said. Core nodded. Carno dismantled the trap. Core ran to find Feron. “Don’t kill Feron, okay? It’s not the right time to betray your tribe. The time will come soon.” Carno said Core nodded. He ran around the ship looking for Feron. Core did not like Feron’s actions towards Helena. This made Core reconsider being in Reaper, but he knew it wasn’t the right time to leave. But Core did not like Feron at all. The final straw came one day, 8 years ago, on their last raid to the colony. Melvin was forced to come that day. Feron went too far. He sacrificed hundreds of tames for celestial bombs made from corrupted souls and then loaded with implant Zeronium. Feron wreaked havoc on the raid just to try and kill Helena. Melvin was struggling to save her. Core was mad at him, and when Feron broke Core’s leg, Core used an Argy to pick Feron up. Melvin made his way to a raft, and Feron was about to shoot a fire arrow to destroy it when Core decided this was too much. Core knocked Feron out with a tranquilizer dart before he could shoot the raft. Feron had destroyed half of his Giga army and ruined the raid. Core knew Feron would go to any measure necessary and unnecessary to kill Helena. He hoped Feron would never find her again, and now he did. And if Core didn’t stop Feron, he would ruin Melvin’s plan and break his heart. Core would never do this to a single girl. He knew he made a huge mistake ever trusting Feron and Giga Reaper R’s dictators. Since the Helena incident, Core ensured Feron couldn’t return to Carol. When they did return, Core needed to keep Feron away from Helena, because Feron didn’t remember it was Utopia X until tonight. And now, the incident is starting up again. Feron kept running through the basement with a pistol in his hands, and Helena was trying not to be seen. Carno ran to find Helena and Core went to confront Feron. “Where are you? Come on out, wherever you are.” He sneered. He kept hissing as he snuck over to where he thought Helena was hiding. Then Core ran toward him. “Hey! I need to check your bag.” Core said. “Oh, look who it is. The stupid little dictator who thinks he can stop me.” Feron hissed. “Dude. This… this is too much for you! Remember what you did to us 8 years ago?” Core said. “If only Man wasn’t in the way. Now he’s hiding like a coward somewhere else. I can finally end her once and for all.” Feron sneered. He walked into the room, and saw a storage box. He took out a celestial bomb. If this didn’t kill her, her wounds and the water would. She’d drown along with the whole ship. “No. NO!!! You’re going to kill us all!” Core yelled. “I don’t care. I want her dead!” Feron yelled. He opened the box and was about to throw the bomb in when Carno grabbed the bomb. “Enough. I’ve seen too much. This needs to stop now.” Carno said. “Oh. Okay. So then why don’t I just destroy that bomb. Either she dies or we all die.” Feron said. Then, Feron was about to shoot the bomb. “Oh, no.” Helena said. Core and Carno crouched, bracing for impact. Then suddenly, something grabbed Feron. It was Queen. She screeched and grabbed the bomb. Core took it to ensure it didn’t fall into the wrong hands. “NO!!! The stupid Rex again!!” Feron yelled. He was about to shoot the bomb when Queen grabbed his arm. The arm with his implant. Queen was about to kill Feron permanently. “That’s it. Feron, you are going to leave forever. If you don’t, my Rex will end you forever.” Katniss said as she walked up to him. “You. I just wanted her dead.” Feron said. “Feron, you’ve tortured her too much. I just want it to stop. If you stop hunting her down like a madman, we’ll let you go. But you need to promise you will leave for good.” Core said. Feron started thinking about what to do. “Hold on! Guys, we’re almost there.” Gunner said. He came down when he heard all the chaos going down. But unbeknownst to everyone, Feron had a nasty plan for when they got to the shore. Feron secretly had another celestial bomb and had a pistol right next to it. Gunner took Helena out of the box, and they were about to get to the plank when the boat was about to dock. Feron quickly reached into his bag and clicked something. BOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Melvin was about to arrive when he saw a explosion in the distance. He knew what it was: a celestial bomb! That could only mean one thing. Then, a death message showed up. “Your tribemate Katniss (Level 15) was killed by Feron (Level 100)!” The Mosa screeched and sped towards the chaos. Melvin couldn’t say anything. Feron did it again.
The ship was now in ruins. Almost everyone barely survived. Two people from the Utopia X colony died and Queen was injured. Helena was starting to drown, and Melvin found her and picked her up. “Oh, look who’s back.” Gunner said. He hugged Melvin as he took Helena out of the water. Gunner put some fur armor on her. “Is she okay?” Melvin said. “Yeah. She’s just hurt.” Gunner said. Then Queen came out of the water, with scratches on her back and a open wound on her head. “Oh, my god. You’re going to get a concussion if this keeps up. We need to get her to the med center now.” Melvin said. Carno took out a cryopod and put her in it. Then he took out an Argy, trapped Tacet in a cryopod, and used the Argy to fly back to the base. “Guys… what happened!? I saw Katniss’ death message!” Melvin yelled. “Feron happened. He hid a celestial bomb in his bag and shot it the second we docked! It almost killed me and Helena, and Katniss was hit hard. Then the mast broke and the sharp tip of it fell on her. He almost ruined it. I know a lot about implant mutations.” Core said. “You. Why should I believe you?” Melvin said. “Look, Melvin, I don’t like Feron. His actions towards Helena were too much.” Core said. “You think I don’t… wait. Did you seriously just call me by my real name?” Melvin said. “Melvin, he’s here to help. He needs to protect us. He was going to stop Feron from hunting her down. But instead, Feron did that.” Gunner said. “Yeah. He almost killed the Chosen Rex! He annihilated her owner! Feron is a madman.” Core said. “What?” Melvin said. “That Rex came from a Rex pair. They had a mutation. The baby had both the mutations. That Rex’s strength is unimaginable. He can hold people down, he can stun them, and he can do a lot of things. When he grows up, he’ll become such a powerful Rex. Katniss had a mutation that made her powerful. It can level her up faster, it can strengthen her, and her max level is 200. Well, that is, before she died. Now it’s 150. The mutation gets weaker every time she dies. I know this, because before Feron’s reign, I have research a ton of mutations on survivors and creatures. But Katniss isn’t the only one with a mutation. Feron has one too. And it’s worse. His max level can reach 250. But only if his implant can reach full power. It’s still 100, but it will get higher. And he’s using it to destroy all girls. If I had the mutation, I would use it to destroy Giga Reaper R. But he’s using it for evil.” Core said. “Wow. That’s a lot. Just… what makes Queen the “Chosen Rex?” Didn’t she hatch last week?” Melvin said. “Yeah. But the legend of the Chosen Rex is something that’s gone on for decades. If a Rex so powerful it could kill the Savage Acro for good ever existed, it would be crowned the Chosen Rex. But Rexes that have hatched in the past have not proved worthy. But Queen could be the one. But there’s a problem. It seems like Queen and Katniss are linked together. With their implants. If one dies, the other dies forever. That’s why I could not let Queen die. The volcano destroying the base is bad enough, but not being able to fight the Savage Acro is worse. Katniss’ mutation gets weaker every time she dies. If it weakens below 0.1 percent, which is where her max level gets to 10, that will cause problems. It will destroy her. And with it, Queen. And with that, any hope of ever destroying the Savage Acro.” Core said. “So… then if it’s gone down to 75%... then the next one…” Gunner said. “Next death will bring it down to 50%. Then a 3rd will bring it down to 30%. Number 4 will bring it down to 20%. 5 will bring it down to 10. 6 will bring it down to 5. 7 will bring it down to 1. 8 will bring it down to 0.1, and 9 will bring it down to 0, ultimately destroying her.” Core said. “Wait. Katniss told us earlier that she died once on a earlier island.” Gunner said. “What? Then that means it’s at 50!! This isn’t good. Thank the gods Feron doesn’t know this. He’s unconscious, but the mutation is stopping him from drowning. We need to leave before he wakes up.” Core said. Melvin nodded. Gunner threw out Null and they all got on. Then they ran towards the volcano’s slope.
As clouds began to form, something began to form in the med center. The only place in Moonshot with normal beds and not sleeping bags. Something, or shall I say, someone was respawning on the last few beds in the tribe. Katniss’ Gigas were right outside the door. They were screeching at the beacon right above them. Then, something exploded in one of the rooms. Then, a young Giga, who was hatched last week, went through the dinosaur gate on the side of the building. It saw two survivors in one of the rooms. Elaine and Katniss. “Oh, hey. Didn’t see you there. I can’t really move right now because I have a ton of resources and weapons on me and my stats are Level 1, so I’m going to need a XP potion before I do anything else.” Katniss said. The Giga nodded and ran across the hall, into a lab. It was Gunner’s lab, and it had some XP potions in it that could restore half your maximum level. The Giga picked a potion up and ran back to Katniss. Then, they heard wings flapping outside the door. It was Carno and his Argy. Then there was a horrible noise. The cryopod was breaking. Carno quickly threw it into the med center. “Carno, what the heck!? Oh… you’re lucky he’s hurt. Could’ve got me.” Elaine said. “It’s a she. And you need to help her. If she dies, Katniss dies foreveer, and that means the chances of us beating the Savage Acro also dies forever. Do you want to be beaten by the Savage Acro again?” Carno said. Elaine knew what happened to her all those years ago. “Elaine… it’s time for you to save us again. You survived the Savage Acro. You survived two encounters with Reaper. You can do this. I saved you once. It’s time for you to save us. If we save Queen, we save hope for killing the Savage Acrocanthosaurus and saving the entire world.” Carno said. Elaine looked around then looked at Queen, lying on the bed with blood coming out of her head. “Carno… I’m sorry. It’s hopeless. Queen’s condition has gotten beyond unbearable. There’s no way we can help her.” Elaine said. Carno looked at Queen and walked to her. “I… know what to do. I think. I don’t know how we can help her… but we may have a way. We’ll need some of Gunner’s potions.” Carno said. “What? We can’t just take Gunner;s stuff.” Elaine said. “Listen, we need to do something. I can get them and have Queen use them. Then we can do the rest.” Carno said. Elaine sighed and ran to Gunner’s room. Carno smiled then walked back into the room where Queen was.
The group was walking to the volcano. Rain started pattering down on them. Darkness had fallen. Gunner saw the volcano in the distance, but he also saw lights. “Moonshot, give me your Gigas! NOW!!” Someone yelled. It was Ripper, another one of the dictators. “NO!!! We would never give up our tames!!” Melvin yelled. “Man!! GET DOWN NOW!!!” Ripper yelled. He was standing on his Giga, looking out over the volcano’s slope towards the coming raid. “You stupid dictator!! Your reign will be over! AND STOP CALLING ME THAT!!!” Melvin screamed. Ripper threw a knife at the ground and whistled his entire Giga army to attack. “It! Final STRAW!!! FINAL!!!!!!!!!! YOU NEED TO STOP!!!” Ripper yelled. The Gigas on his side started tearing apart Utopia X’s Gigas. Melvin saw his friends getting teared apart. He put Null in a cryopod and ran towards Ripper. “Melvin, where are you going?” Gunner said. “To have a chat with that idiot.” Melvin said as he ran towards the volcano. Ripper saw Melvin running towards him, and he whistled for the army to stop. He then jumped down and walked to Melvin. “Ripper, and the rest of you idiots… you… your reign ends tonight.” Melvin said. “Oh, don’t worry. All the purging on Moonshot will stop if you just… do what I want you to do. Tell me right now where that stupid Rex is and what the heck is going on with her and… that guy who killed Truman.” Ripper said. “I won’t tell you. You’re trying to make me endanger my own friends. The only friends I could ever make. Because of you all.” Melvin said. Ripper laughed and walked around Melvin. “Ha. Friends. What are they, really? Open, honest, vulnerable with each other. And were your friends ever that? You know, when I came to Giga Reaper R, no one was friends with each other. There were no girls anyone could save. Well, until the Journey incident.” Ripper said. “No one did anything because you made them do nothing! You forced them to watch their friends die!! Like you tried to do with me and my friends! The Chosen Rex prophecy will be fulified, and you all will die!!” Melvin said. “Oh, you stupid. Man, listen. All it takes is for you to say where she and that stupid Rex is, and I’ll be done. I can’t have anyone standing against me and my friends. If True Reaper ever, EVER found out about all this… he’d release his true power and kill you, and every single person in your tribe. He has the knowledge to kill every girl in the world, and he is not afraid to use it. So listen. You can choose to keep playing my game, or you can watch 600 million people perish before your own eyes. I’m not in charge of this whole tribe, Man. I don’t make the rules. True Reaper does. And our job is to make sure people follow them. Melvin, none of us dictators want to be here. We were just forced here. That guy… he is unkillable. Unstoppable. If anyone tried to stand against them, he’d do the most unspeakable thing ever. He’d kill more than your friends. He’d kill over half the population of the entire planet. We were forced to play along with his “game” and we were supposed to make sure people kept playing it. Feron… he’s the only dictator here who’s on True Reaper’s side. We must stay here. Melvin, this is not our choice… but if you really want your friends to stay alive… then you must stay with us. If you leave… well… you know what would happen. Melvin, if I didn’t trust you, would I call you by your real name? Just stay with us. Do not stand against True, and follow along with us.” Ripper said. Melvin was dumbfounded. All this time with them, and Ripper’s saying True Reaper is the true master of the entire thing. “I… okay. You’re saying that True is the true master of all this, and he forced you to do all this?” Melvin said. “Yes. He has warned you over and over. If you break his trust, he will kill everyone you love and probably more. He’s unescapable. Unstoppable. You can’t outrun him. He’s basically Godzilla multiplied by a centillion. He would find them and kill them, if he knew about all this. He can crush implants almost instantly. That day… True was very upset. Mad at Journey. You were very lucky that he didn’t kill her right then and there. If he was there, in front of you, he would’ve crushed Journey’s implant immediately. Melvin… we were trying, all along, to protect you and your friends from that monster.” Ripper said. Tears rolled down Melvin’s face, as he sat down as the rain kept falling. “Ripper… guys… I didn’t know. I… I need to stay with them.” Melvin said. “Melvin, no.” Gunner said. “No. He’s right. Reaper would kill us if he found out. I need to play along with his “game”. I will do anything to protect my friends. I will not let them die.” Melvin said. He was crying as he ran up the volcano’s path with Ripper. “Melvin…” Gunner said as he ran for him. He stopped at the rocks below the lone tree on the path.
Chapter 13
Epilogue (Part 1 Ending)
1 week later…
There were large buildings in a deep cave, far under the water near the floor. They had air conditioners, feeding troughs, refrigerators, and storage bins. It was a Giga hatchery. They were breeding them to make a mutated army to destroy Feron and True Reaper.
