My friend always raises a sarco army when we play and they are allowed to free roam around our base. It is tradition after every successful artifact dungeon run we make that our tribe get drunk and just stand on their backs as they wander and swim in crazy patterns.

One day, I forget how, but my friend's crown jewel of a sarco died. It was on the Island, and we held a funeral up on the cliff near the bay on the northern end of the map, as we lived by that body of water nearby. The service was lovely. There was a eulogy, torches lit, placement of the gravestone and we even had a rifle salute. Someone even played some music over mic to set the tone. In her honor when we made it back to our base we got drunk and rode on the back of her sibling sarcos.

Rest in Peace Death Metal, you were a strong independent sarco and you died to soon.

The Great Emperor

I had a Sarco who I named “Emperor Hirohito.”

We went on adventures. We killed foes. Most

of all, we shared memories. She was pretty powerful too. I loved her. She loved me. One day, I was on my Baryonyx named Bella. She was also powerful.

I overestimated her. She fought megs, but didn’t stand a chance against Cnidarians. They knocked me off Bella, got killed by megs. I respawned and to Emperor to the rescue. I regret it. She risked her life, just for me. She fought off megs, and Cnidarians, for me. I died again. Respawned, died again. The 2nd time was different. I was filled with rage. I used my fist to fight them. I took a quick glance at Emperor, shocked to see 2 hp. A split second later, I saw her body fly out the water, motionless. I stood there, shocked, scared, concerned. I went towards the last Cnidarian, filled with even more pure rage. Managed to defeat it, but at what cost? I went back, collected my gear, and cried, as I sat behind the screen.

Rest in Peace, Emperor. We all miss you.

Ultimus Chapter 5: Awake, part two

Andrew quickly attempted to scramble across his bed and kicked up a bunch of dust making him cough profusely. Dust flew into his eyes and caused him to stop in his tracks. He tried waiting for the dust to settle, but with each cough he stirred up even more dust. He quickly retreated out of the room, as he looked back he saw the room was filled with a cloud of dust.

Andrew decided to open several windows and decided to figure out why the power wasn’t working until the dust settled. He went outside and started walking around the house. He quickly noticed the generator half buried in dirt by the house and checked it. It was powered off with over half a tank of gas remaining. After a little over an hour of trying to figure out how it worked he got it started up running.

Andrew went around the house and went inside. He checked the lights and saw immediately the lights turned on. He pumped his fists in the air and cheered in exuberance.

He went down the hallway and looked into his room. All the dust had settled. He looked through his window and saw his dog was still watching the dinosaur intensely.

Andrew cautiously walked into his room and walked around the bed over to his nightstand. He picked up the clock but couldn’t read it through all the dust. He wiped off the dust but still couldn’t see anything. Looked at the back and saw that the element slot was empty.

“Of course they lied about how long the clock can run on.” He said to himself, he opened the first drawer on the nightstand and saw some clothes. He quickly started pulling out all the clothes and found what he was looking for, a single piece of element. If he couldn’t get an exact date, he could see at least an estimation for how long he’s been asleep. The clock could hold the last date it recorded before it died so it was simple enough.

He put the strange material in the back of the machine and looked at the date it last gave. Andrew looked at date and he was shocked and confused.

‘it couldn’t be right!! Could it?’

The date on the clock was August 12th, 3104. He’d been alsleep for over 700 years. Maybe even longer…

Ultimus Chapter 5: Awake part one

In the shed, the sleeping pod started beeping and the doors opened. Andrew dropped out of the pod and laid on the ground gasping for air. Everything hurt, his head, his eyes, his legs, his stomach, his chest, everything. He tried to pull himself up to the ground, but he collapsed on the ground again. He heard his dog yawn, he heard him get up and walk over to his face. Andrew kept his eyes closed because of the pain but he felt the cold nose of his dog touch his nose. He felt him lick his cheek and his inside ear. This shot Andrew up feeling a cold, wet dog tongue in his ear. Though he instantly regretted it, puking bile and whatever he had eaten before going to sleep.

After a few minutes of being in the worst pain Andrew ever felt and letting it slowly subside. He opened his eyes and looked around. He didn’t see anyone, just dust. A lot of dust. He stood up and looked around. Everything seemed to be the same that it was before he got in, a couple more storage containers and way too much dust. But nothing out of the sort. He went and looked at the sleeping pod, it seemed to have shut down just before letting him and his dog out of it. He decided to go look for his mom and dad and see where they were at. He ran over to the door and opened it. Andrew looked at the outside world confused. Everything seemed normal. He was still in a forest, the sun was setting or rising so it must’ve dawn or dusk, his house was there though it looked run down a little bit.

‘So why was there a dinosaur outside the shed?!?’ He screamed in his head, there standing in front of him was a dinosaur, its head held a weird crest with spike coming off of it and a strange horn off the nose. Andrew had never seen anything like it. He knew the basic dinosaurs like Raptors, Rexes and Trikes of course. But he had never seen anything like this. It looked sort of like a trike but it didn’t have the horn over the eyebrows. But he couldn’t get distracted on how this was here. He walked past it and called his dog. The dog came to the shed door and looked outside. It saw the creature and froze. Andrew called him again and this time the dog laid down and watched the creature. Andrew gave up calling him and left the dog there. He went around the house and walked to the front door and opened it.

“Hello! Mom? Dad? Where are you?” Andrew called out. He didn’t see anyone, everything looked in place though. He continued walking through the house going through the rooms and searching for his parents. Though he didn’t find anything. He wondered if he woke up too early? None of the lights or anything that needed power wasn’t working. He went into his room and looked around, nothing had been touched since he went into the pod. He saw his Element Corp. Digital Clock sitting on his nightstand. And something immediately popped into his head.

‘The Clocks lifespan on one piece of element is guaranteed 750 years. I can just see what year it is right now!!!’

Someone once said: Once upon a time, my Sarco and I were hunting some Megalodons for fish meat, when a pack of Cnidaria stung the both of us, I tried to swim to the shore but it's too late. Mantas and Megs attacked me and my Sarco. My Sarco tried to fight back, biting his opponents. I swam back to the shore, and... My Sarco never came back. His dead corpse was a feast for Mantas and Megalodons. I hold my fists, my mind thirst for revenge. Rifle in hand, I swam back, shooting every Megalodon and Mantas I see. It was a bloodbath, bodies of Megalodon and Mantas floating in the ocean. I avenged his death… My Sarco…

Rain pours down to the land. He left his beloved wife and son.

This is how I got my first Sarco. Sarcos are one of my favorite creatures in Ark that’s why I wanted one.So I built a trap out of door frames in a spot where I know there was one because it attacked me before.A plus it wasn’t near swamps so it was easy to build without other stuff bothering me.It took a few days to find one and when I did it was near the trap.When I landed and got off my Pterosaur and realized it was trying to bite me but it wasn’t walking towards me.I turns out it was a mosschops on TOP of the Sarco that made it stuck!!! So I pretty much already got the tame sense it can’t even move.So once I nocked it out with my tranq arrows I put loads of raw meat and raw fish meat into it.Once it tamed I realized it was still stuck! So I had to kill the Mosschops to get it off but sense it was on top of my poor overgrown crocodile I almost killed it in the process.But eventually I killed it without killing the sarcosuchus and we went back to the base.

I tamed a sarco that was near my base once and named the sarco "bonebreaker" ,me and him were like best friends and fought pretty much anything that stood in our way,but unfortunately one day,when me,my parasaur,and bonebreaker were swimming to one of the smaller islands in the island to get a few explorer notes,a megalodon attacked us,we were halfway there,but then a megalodon attacked us,and bonebreaker fought bravely,but he got killed by a gang of Cnidarias and mantas,if I’m being honest,I wish I could blast those Cnidarias with a shotgun.
