The Chosen Rex

Chapter 3

Welcome to Moonshot

Katniss was in the med center room, wrapping some bandages around the Rex’s leg. Then, someone came into the med center room. The medical center was in the middle of the Moonshot village. “Katniss. We have a problem.” The guy said. “Dude. I’ve told you so many times. Melvin is good and no one in that tribe wants to be in that tribe for real. They were forced, Gunner. Remember the captured female we got back?” Katniss said. “Yeah. But that’s not what I mean. Right now, a small army of Gigas and a few Titans are on their way here to find Melvin and the egg we hatched recently.” Gunner said. Katniss yelped and grabbed Gunner. “What? What? The last time a Titan attacked, literally half of our tribemates died. If it wasn’t for that earthquake, Journey and all the other escaped slaves wouldn’t be here.” She said. She started breathing hard, and Gunner said, “Hey. It’s okay. The Giga we hatched is claimed. And he has a huge melee mutation.” “What?” Katniss yelled. “Yeah. 1500% melee.” Gunner said. Katniss ran towards the barn where the eggs were being incubated. It was near the med center. Katniss looked at the Giga’s implant. “Dude. We need to do something. We can’t fight N-Terminator. She’s the most powerful Giganotosaurus that ever existed. They had a huge celebration when she was hatched because her stats were beyond unimaginable. 12,000% melee, almost 300,000 HP. 9000 movement. That thing could destroy the tribe in a few minutes. And she’s coming to get this guy!” Katniss yelled. She collapsed, breathing hard. “Dude. Can we just calm down?” Gunner said. Melvin busts the doors open a second later. “Dude. Is she having another episode? Looks like you know about N-Terminator. Journey was the person who claimed her. She can take the Giga back. Except Feron also wants Katniss. If he finds out about her stats… well, it’s best if we don’t think about what may happen.” Melvin said. He walked over to Katniss and sat down. Katniss grabbed Melvin. “Hey. It’s okay. Your mutation is going to protect us. When will they be here?” Melvin asked as he started petting Katniss on the head. “Well, maybe a few hours or so,” Gunner said. Melvin got up and walked out the door. “I’m going to get the Rex,” Melvin said. Gunner nodded and Melvin walked out the door.

A few hours later, Melvin saw something in the distance. “Oh, no. Guys! They’re here!” He yelled. Katniss ran into the med center to get the Rex. They heard a loud horn go off. “Attention, survivors of Moonshot! Hand over the Giga and Man and no one gets hurt!” Feron yelled. Truman jumped off the Giga and ran towards the gates. Gunner opened them with an ascendant pump-action shotgun in his hands. “Give us the Giganotosaurus now,” Truman said. Gunner pointed the gun and tried to shoot, then Truman threw a taser at him and Gunner got shocked and fell to the ground. He was stunned and couldn’t move. “Now. Where is the Giganotosaurus?” Truman said. Melvin snuck into the barn and grabbed the Giga. He moved the Giga into a small stone house. “Journey. Journey, you need to get this guy out of here.” Melvin said. He saw a girl sitting on a chair near the stairs. “They’re here?” Journey said. “Yes. You need to leave. If they see you, they’ll kill you. They brought your old Giga, so go into the tunnel.” Melvin said. Journey nodded and opened a hatch below the chair. She went into the tunnel that led to a secret underwater base in one of the three underwater caves they’d managed to keep. Then, someone came in. It was Melvin’s friend, Nash. “Melvin. Truman is coming through this neighborhood.” Nash said. “Great. He’s trying to find me.” Melvin said. He jumped into the tunnel. He closed the hatch just then. Nash pulled up the chair over the hatch and ran upstairs. Truman broke the door down just then. “They’re not here. Well, maybe they’re in the med center.” He said.

“Survivors, if you do not turn in Man and our Giganotosaurus, we will launch a raid,” Feron said. “No. You will not steal our Giga and Melvin.” Someone said. They were sitting on the towers. N-Terminator broke down the towers and grabbed him. “Look here. Give them to us, or we will end you all.” Feron said. “Is he pulling a death wish or something?” Gunner said. The taser had worn off and he ran into the med center. “Katniss. Truman is coming.” Gunner said. Katniss turned around and picked up a pump-action shotgun. “Well, we’d better hope we can stop him.” She said. She ran over to the doors and sat behind them. “I know the Giga is in here!! I know you’re hiding Man here too. If you do not open this door, my Titanosaur will kill you all!!!” Truman said. He used 3 grenades to destroy the door. He ran into the room, and Katniss grabbed him. “OW! What the heck?” Truman yelled. He pulled out a taser and hit Katniss with it. Katniss shot Truman’s armor and it didn’t do anything. Katniss grabbed the arm and shot it right through the implant, which was connected to his entire circulatory system, going right through the heart and the brain. That means that if the implant is disconnected, everything else goes down and the survivor dies. “NO!!! What have you done?? Impossible! She just… went right through… my armor… didn’t get affected by the stupid taser… my Titan… tell Feron I love my Titan…” Truman yelled. His breathing started to slow. Then, he started coughing blood. Katniss grabbed his implant and sent a message. “I just killed him and I’m coming for you. No one threatens my friends and gets away with it.” She said to the implant. The message was sent just as the implant got disconnected. Feron was torturing someone on the tower when his implant showed a death message. “What??? Truman (Level 100) was killed by Katniss (Level 12). THAT’S IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Feron screamed. He made N-Terminator eat the survivor, then he destroyed the walls. He broke through the med center. Katniss looked up and tried to run. “You! You’re only level 12 and killed a max-level survivor from the deadliest tribe ever! Tell me now how you did it, or I will kill you!” Feron screamed. He shot a taser at Katniss and was about to shoot her implant with a longneck rifle when Melvin grabbed the Giga’s implant and tampered with it. “Get your gun out of Katniss’s head right this instant or else I will make this Giga kill you,” Melvin said. “MAN!!!!!!!! DON’T YOU DARE!!!!” Feron screamed. Melvin nodded. He set the Giga on aggressive, used the kill command to take out half the Giga’s health, and unclaimed him. He claimed him again for Journey. Feron was about to shoot Katniss in the head when Melvin shot him and threw him off. The Giga roared and stomped. The roof started to collapse. Melvin grabbed Katniss and ran out of the building. “This is not over! You hear me? You may have defeated me today, but I will return and kill you all!!!” Feron screamed. He teleported out of the village and towards the volcano. “Tribemates, we will raid them later. We must help our dictator.” A survivor said. He was on Giga Reaper’s side. He was one of the few people who supported the dictators. Truman was one of them. The Gigas and Titans walked away from the damaged walls.

Chapter 4

Giga Reaper’s Story

The sun started to come up and light shone through Moonshot's shacks and buildings. It was all wood and partially stone, while Giga Reaper’s tribe had a base made mostly of tek and metal. There was only one thing that could damage tek: Titanosauruses. But recently, Giga Reaper killed all their Queztals. And it’s like they have gone extinct because Moonshot can never find more of them. Giga Reaper has 17 Titans. If they reach 20, none will spawn on the island until one dies. Each tribe has a max of 20 Titanosauruses, but the limit on Gigas is unlimited. They have a total of 530 Gigas. They have 810 tames: 17 Titans, 530 Gigas, 50 Argies, 30 Ankys, 100 Theris, 80 Rexes, 2 Doedis, and 1 Dodo that they tamed many, many years ago in their beginnings. That was long before the dictators; it was during a time when the people of Giganotosaurus Reaper R were free. Where they could do whatever they wanted. 80 ARK years ago, their tribe began. This was before the start of the dictators’ rule over the tribe. A survivor named Carno tamed a lot of their Titans and was the one who helped hatch the Gigas. They had alliances with tribes like Sundown. Their first decades were peaceful and free. Until things went south. Someone named Truman wanted to hog the Gigas. But the survivors got upset at him. Truman didn’t help anyone in their battles with Alphas, bosses, and caves. Carno stole a Theri from Truman after he left the tribe. But this would soon be the downfall of Giga Reaper.

60 years ago, Truman left the tribe and Carno became the new tribe leader. Their base was on a small hill north of the volcano, near the ice cave and the white obelisk. But Truman wasn’t done. He was mad at Carno for not letting him have his tames. Truman ran away and tamed a Giga of his own, which he named Neron. He would soon become the Giga that changed everything. Truman tamed a Theri and used him as bait. He pretended he was going to rejoin the tribe with a gift. But the Giga wasn’t going to be Truman’s. He was going to be unclaimed. Truman was mad at everyone, but the Giga was only the beginning. The Giga rampaged the base and then Truman unclaimed a Titan that Carno had tamed for him. The Titan destroyed the base and Truman left the tribe again. Everyone in the tribe was in chaos. Carno decided that they needed to leave. But then… things quickly went south.

Carno finished his large ship and set out for a new island. But Truman was on the ship, unknown to anyone, and he had a nasty plan. A survivor named Ripper tamed a Mosa and was hunting for food. But Carno got trapped in something Truman made for his Giga. Ripper and everyone else in the tribe got the death message, “Tribemaster Carno (Level 98) was killed by Truman (Level 99)!”. This death message freaked everyone out. With Carno killed, no one stood in the way of Truman. Someone joined him after his ambush. His name was Feron, and he had a friend named Core. This is when the dictator era began and the free will of all of Giga Reaper was over. The dictator group grew and joined the tribe. Everyone wanted to leave, but the dictators locked them all so that they could NEVER leave! Carno’s implant remained intact, so he respawned on a different island. Back to Level 1 and with nothing. He was mad at Truman for betraying everyone, including him. But when he returned at Level 49 and with a Giga and Pteranodon, he was too late. The dictator group began and Carno tried to save them, but True Reaper shot him down. He was left on Tarnad Island, halfway across the world from the original island. He had no choice but to sit and watch as his beloved tribe fell into darkness. He found a tribe but lost everything again when the Savage Acro destroyed his island. Instead of risking becoming a slave, he sat on a neighboring island, tribeless, lonely, deprived of every single one of his friends. He lost everything he cared about and his friends were all slaves, all because of his rival, Truman. But then, one day, Carno got a message. “Your former Tribemate Truman (Level 100) was killed by Tribe of Moonshot (Katniss Level 12)! He was Level 100 and he had a big Giga army. He was shocked. Someone in Moonshot killed his rival. He was so happy. He hoped to find Moonshot and take his tribe back and what was rightfully his. He sailed out for The Island with his Giga army. He hoped that Moonshot would help free his friends from the dictators and end the dictators’ reign.

Chapter 5

A Sniper Ambush

Katniss started to wake up in her house, south of the med center. She got up and said hi to a creature on her shelf. It was a dodo. She had a pet dodo that she kept in a vault during raids. Despite the dodo’s small size and slow movement, his melee was 1365%. He had a huge mutation the day he was hatched. That was before the raids killed the dodo’s parents. Katniss got some ascendant hide armor on and went downstairs to the doors. She took a journeyman pump action shotgun, grabbed a bag of cooked prime meat, and went outside. Then, someone came out of the back of her house. “Hey. Come here.” The person said. Katniss looked back and ran to the person. “Journey. You shouldn’t be out in the open. Gunner detected snipers in position over an hour ago. If they see you, you’ll be shot.” Katniss said. “What? I should’ve known.” Journey said. She snuck over to Melvin’s house to hide. Katniss ran over to Gunner’s house. A sniper saw her and Feron sent him a message. “Keep an eye on her. Wait to shoot her until she does something we don’t know about.” He said. The sniper nodded. Gunner sat in the room with Queen and Katniss ran in. “Hey! Good morning.” Gunner said. Queen screeched and ran over to her. She started to sniff her. “I guess she likes you. What do you need?” Gunner said. “Look. I want to go on a taming trip today. Maybe a max-level Theri or Rex can do.” Katniss said. Gunner dropped the rockarrot he was holding. “You want to tame some creatures? Well, we can sneak out to tame with the Mosa in the underwater base… but there’s a problem. There are 3 taming groups from Giga Reaper out in the jungle and wetlands right now looking for Theris.” Gunner said. “Well, I’ll just get some good weapons. We need to bring N-Terminator. Now that Journey has her again, we can use her to stop them.” Katniss said. “Yes. But if someone gets to the implant, they can reclaim the Giga. We’ll need to bring backup.” Gunner said. Katniss nodded and ran over to Melvin’s house. Then, as she passed the med center, she heard a shatter and a scream. “SHATTER! SCREAM!!!” Katniss gasped and ran over to Melvin’s house much faster. “Right in the chest. Perfect.” A sniper said. “Shoot Katniss now. Before she gets to the house.” Feron said. The sniper nodded and was about to shoot when suddenly, he was hit off the cliff and died to fall damage. “What? Wait… Taren (Level 100) was killed by Carno (Level 100). Oh, my.” A sniper gasped. “That’s right. I’m back and you will die.” Carno said. “NOOO!!! Not the triple-level!!!” The sniper screamed. The Carnotaurus was a Level 710. He was tamed as a wild 450 on the neighboring island. They had creatures up to Level 450. Carno ate up the sniper with his Carnotaurus. “What?? Talon (Level 100) was killed by… Carno (Level 100). NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That stupid Truman never destroyed his implant.” Feron screamed. He used his implant to communicate with the second group of snipers. “Full, Omnilon, and Eron, go to the site of sniper group #1 and destroy Carno and his suck-up Carnotaurus! The rest of you, stay and kill her!!!” Feron yelled. Katniss was about to open the door, and a sniper saw her. The sniper was about to shoot. “They’re about to shoot her!” Carno yelled. He quickly pulled out his ascendant longneck and put a taser in it. He shot it at the sniper, and the taser hit his head and he tripped off the cliff. The bullet hit the ground below the sniper. But then, another sniper was about to shoot. “Oh, no. It’s not going to hit in time!” Carno yelled. Katniss ran into the house. “What? What happened?” Katniss yelled. Melvin was sitting near the stairs, with Journey in his hands, who was shot in the chest inches away from her heart. “Okay. We can go on the taming trip later. Right now, we need to…” Katniss said. Then… SHATTER!! Another window broke! The sniper shot right through the window, right into Katniss’s hip! “IT’S A DIRECT HIT!!!!!!” The sniper screamed. He started cheering. “NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Carno screamed. He ran down to the village. Two people were severely injured. It was about to be three. Another sniper aimed at Gunner, who was running towards the house. “Don’t. We have another person to worry about. Aim at Carno. Talon, aim at Gunner.” Feron said. The sniper nodded. Talon sat back down and aimed at Gunner. Queen saw everything going on. She was very upset. Journey and Katniss were both seriously injured, and they were going to die if Queen didn’t do something. She ran towards the cliffs. The snipers were about to shoot. One missed and hit the Carnotaurus’ tail. Then, the second hit Carno’s shoulder and he fell off the Carno. The Carno screeched. “Keep going! Get Katniss now! She’s been hit.” Carno yelled. “Oh, yes. This is too easy.” Feron said. The other sniper, known as Normal, was about to shoot Gunner. Then Queen pounced at him and crushed his implant. Then she hit Talon off the cliff. “What? Normal (Level 100) was killed by Queen (Rex Level 210)! Talon died from falling damage by Queen, too. That stupid Rex!!!! Sniper group #3, half of you will kill the Rex! The other half, end Katniss’s and Carno’s life this instant!!!” Feron yelled. Talon respawned right in front of Feron. “Boss… the Rex destroyed Normal’s implant, so he can’t respawn.” Talon said. “Just perfect. Get your weapons and armor and help out the third group. I have the final group going in.” Feron sneered. Talon nodded and ran out of the house. “Right in the hip. That should’ve killed her in minutes.” Feron sneered.

It started to rain on the village as the snipers kept coming. Talon may’ve been back to normal stats. Level 1. But he still didn’t stop. He ran towards the third sniper group. Handon, one of the snipers, aimed at Carno and was going to finish him off when Talon quit the tribe and killed him. “You thought I’d stay with you? Never.” Talon said. “Talon (Level 1) has left the tribe. Tribemate Handon (Level 100) was killed by Talon (Level 1). I knew he’d leave!! Sniper group #4, get him before he gets to Katniss and Carno!” Feron yelled.

Carno hopped to Melvin’s house, clutching his shoulder, and when he opened the door, he gasped. “Get down, Carno!” Melvin yelled. Carno ducked below the windows. “We don’t have much time! Katniss and Journey have both fallen unconscious! You need to get them to the med center now!” Melvin yelled. Carno’s Carnotaurus was standing outside the house. “Hey. Tacet will get you all out, okay?” Carno said. He grabbed Journey and Katniss and carried them to the window. “Get them to the med center. If you get low, I’ll teleport you back here.” Carno said. Tacet nodded and picked up the two. He screeched and ran towards the med center with his head behind his back so that the snipers didn’t hit the two. Tacet had really good eyesight, so he could go the right way with his head turned. Carno quickly ran into the basement with Melvin, but then someone hit him in his other shoulder, and Carno fell down the stairs. “NO!!! Not again!! What is this raid?” Melvin yelled. Talon snuck into the house and down the basement. “Hey, Melvin. Tacet’s getting them there, right? Oh, no. We need to help Carno.” Talon said. “Good. Let’s hide here until the raid is over.” Melvin said. Then, someone came in the door. It was Gunner. “Guys. Where’s Katniss and Journey?” He said. “They’re being taken to the med center,” Melvin said. Then, he heard a huge explosion. “KABOOOOOMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Queen saw everything going on right now. She saw Tacet get blasted off a cliff by a rocket launcher! She ran down towards the cliff. A sniper tried to shoot her, but he missed. Then, something appeared in the distance. Then, Melvin heard roaring. “Oh, no! Is that the Giga army?” He said. “Relax. That’s our army. I tamed a lot of Gigas and hatched a lot of Gigas. They’re almost here!” Carno said. Then, a Giga saw Queen on a cliff, looking down at the two dying survivors, and the Giga jumped off the ship. “Is that… that has to be Carno’s!” Feron yelled. Then, the last sniper group aimed and started shooting at the ship. Then, someone came from behind. The snipers got knocked off. “Great. All our snipers are back to Level 1,” Feron said. Then, the person on the cliff ran down towards the ship. Feron sent in 2 sniper groups and they just arrived. But when the snipers were about to shoot, Feron saw the person. “No! STOP! HOLD YOUR FIRE!!! Do not shoot her. Don’t!” Feron yelled. Then, one of the snipers, known as Full, sent a message to Feron using his implant. “Dude. Is there a reason we shouldn’t snipe him?” He said. “That survivor… I’m calling a tribe meeting tomorrow. We need to retreat.” Feron said. The sniper groups immediately ran straight back to the volcano. Then, the survivor walked towards Queen. “You mess with her, you mess with me.” She said. She hit Queen off the cliff and shot her down. She started shooting the ship. “Hey! Hey! They’re not here to hurt anyone!! They’re here to help us!!” Melvin yelled. He ran out of the house when he noticed what was going on. “Dude. I’m telling you. They’re here to help us. They came to save Katniss and Journey.” Melvin said. The survivor saw Tacet try to escape, and she started shooting him. Carno ran out of the house just then. “Hey! Dude, they’re not here to kill! They’re here to help!” Carno yelled. “Who? That stupid buck-horned murderer?” The survivor said. “What do you mean?” Carno yelled. Tacet ran behind him, and then he saw her. He recognized her instantly. It was the same survivor his sister tried to kill many years ago. The same survivor he killed years ago. Tacet started to whimper. He backed up. “Hey. What’s wrong?” Carno said. Tacet growled at the survivor. “It’s you. I knew it.” The survivor said as she turned around. Carno gasped. He knew who she was! He met her years ago during the dictator era of Giga Reaper. Tacet stood up and threw her into the volcano when she wanted to destroy him. But Carno never knew for sure. He was being chased and thrown off cliffs by the dictators. “Hey, Carno. The one who let me die.” The survivor said. “Look, Elaine, I can explain,” Carno said. Then, the survivor took out a gun. “So I see why she’s hurt. You tried to kill her, didn’t you?” Elaine said. “What? No. That was Giga Reaper’s fault.” Carno said. “Look. Everything you’ve done to me in these past decades has been unbearable. You let me die all these years ago. Just because you were obsessed with all these stupid creatures.” Elaine said. “Look. I did try to…” Carno said. Elaine kicked him off the cliff and tried to shoot him, then Melvin grabbed her. Elaine took out a pistol. “Enough. The crimes you have committed this day will not go unpunished. Sniping, trusting a murderer, trusting a traitor, attempting murder… you are the worst. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to find her before she drowns.” Elaine said. She ran towards the shore. As she climbed down the cliff, Melvin took out a longneck rifle, and Elaine threw a taser at him. Melvin dodged it, but then, Gunner stopped him. “No. Let’s not jump to conclusions yet. We need to do something about the others before we can even worry about another survivor.” Gunner said. Melvin nodded and they both ran towards the shore.
