The dodos didnt stand a chance against the survivors, but the terror birds might. They ran into the raging war, all of them from all the different ARKs came. The ones from Scorched Earth charged head-first as the ones from Valgrueo jumped from the trees and boulders, gliding and striking from above. The suvivors called for reinforcements as the terror bird king, a Raptor, screeched across The Island and called the Dodorex and Dodowyvern (the dodowyvern came with the terrorbirds from Scorched Earth) along with some raptors and more dodos. The dodorex came smashing through the trees at the Dodo side of the battle, reaching the feild where the battlefeild was and roared. It stomped through them and reached the humans. It blew fire across several tribes of survivors and killed many. The dodowyvern flew out of its hiding spot behing a towering rock formation and soared across, putting a shadow over the watching survivors. It attacked from above, leaving only a few behind.

The raptors and dodos rushed down a nearby hill and crashed into the battle. They wiped out the rest of the survivors quickly. The battle was done. The war is over. The dodos, raptors,terror birds and the big reinforcements all cheered happily. The dodos finally got revenge.

I hope you all liked the Story of the Dodo War. As always thank you for reading.

24 hours before the Titanosaur Showdown…

Sodden rode his pteranodon towards the Redwoods, along with Serenity and Rod and their Argies. “You know, I like this. Can’t believe we’re leaving tomorrow.” Rod said. “Yeah. We still got some more things left.” Sodden said. “Yeah, but we’re coming back, right?” Rod said. “Yes. I never thought we’d be here. Even after my little mess up a few weeks back, Nudon still trusted me. Serenity helped me a lot throughout that time.” Sodden said. “Yeah. The day I met you… it was crazy. I woke up early one morning to get metal, and during the run, I saw a huge beacon of green light on the shore way south of my base, near the swamp. The light was very bright, and since we were so close it, it woke up my tribe and they saw it too. What we knew was that it meant a new survivor spawned in. Terad didn’t care at first until he discovered what the survivor really wanted to do. We were just out collecting meat for our Gigas when we saw the dead Allo. I was coming over when I saw you for the first time. Then you saw the Giga and ran away. And also left your raptor behind. I helped you that day, brought the raptor back, and so many things happened since that day.” Serenity said. “Yeah. I didn’t expect much the morning I spawned in. I just knew the basics of the Arks and didn’t do much. Even when I was just a few hours old, I had decided to pursue all creatures. And now I’m not only doing that… but also going out to free you and the people of C Tribe. By destroying the Assassin Heart.” Sodden said as he smiled. “A lot has changed since you spawned in. We will be with you all the time. We’re gonna help you. We’ve got a long journey ahead of us, but we’re making great progress.” Serenity said. “Yeah. Even in the lows.” Rod said. “Yeah. But I kept going, no matter what.” Sodden said. “Well, we’re almost to the redwoods. Let’s find the Alpha Rex.” Serenity said. Sodden nodded then the trio went down to the ground.

When the creatures had regained stamina, they took off for the Redwoods Mountain. Sodden looked across the left of the mountain. Rod looked on the right. Serenity looked at the top. Nothing yet. Sodden and Rod circled the mountain, scouting the area for Rexes. There were quite a few normal Rexes across the mountain, but no Alphas. Then after a while of looking, the trio met at the top of the mountain. “Well, some people from Nudon are scouting Far’s Peak and the two snow mountains. We’ll look through the Giga mountain.” Sodden said. “Okay.“ Rod said. The trio then set out for the Giga mountain.

After an hour, the trio approached Giga Mountain, and saw a ton of Argies and Rexes around the base of the mountain, with Allos on the back side and some sabers and raptors on the tip. The trio split up to look around the mountain. Serenity looked around the left and front. Nothing. Sodden went to the back, then saw a red glow in the distance. Parasaurs were getting split in pieces and blood was on the ground. The red glow got bigger when it came closer, and Rod came over and saw it. Serenity showed up just then. Then they heard crunching as the trees fell. Then it came out of the trees and roared as it ran at a Argy. “It’s an Alpha Rex! We found it!” Sodden said. “Dude. Look what it’s doing to the place!” Rod yelled as he pointed to the bloody grass patches around the base of the mountain. “It’s just ruthlessly killing off creatures. We have to stop it!” Serenity said. “Wait. We gotta check the level.” Sodden said. He took out a spyglass and looked through it, and saw that the Alpha Rex was a Level 105. “105! Yikes. I mean, it could be a 150, but 105 is still really powerful!” Sodden yelled. The trio went to the ground, hopped off their flyers, cryopoded them, and each one of the trio threw out a Giga. Sodden got a Giga from Red and now it was time for him to use it. They got on their Gigas then charged down the slope towards the Alpha Rex, who was going down to the redwoods river. Sodden’s Giga grabbed the tip of the tail of the Rex, and it stopped, turned around, and let out a huge screech. It stormed to the Gigas, ready to destroy them, then the Gigas grabbed the Rex all at once. The Gigas were trying to bite through, then the Rex screeched and landed a bite on a Giga’s nostrils, causing it to screech in pain and drop the Rex’s neck. The Rex swung below to bite the leg of Sodden’s Giga, then Rod’s Giga grabbed the Rex’s head by the mouth. Then Sodden let go of the Rex, and so did Serenity. The Rex tried to hit the Giga with the legs, but the Giga threw the Rex out into the distance, towards the river. The Alpha Rex was flung in the air, screeching as it plummeted 110 meters down towards the river. The Gigas ran down the hill just then. The Alpha Rex then smashed into the water, causing a huge wave of water to splash across the surrounding shores. The water did not slow the fall by much, and the Rex got busted hard. There was a large hole in the right side of its body and a crack in its head. The Alpha Rex was unconscious and losing health insanely fast. Blood poured out of the body and into the water. The Gigas got to the river and saw the heavily crippled Rex. Then a yellow message appeared on the trio’s implant. The Rex was dead. The trio, along with their creatures, got a very good amount of XP. Sodden had an explorer note from a few minutes ago, so he was now Level 96. Rod was Level 93. Serenity hopped off her Giga then ran to the dead Alpha Rex, opened its inventory, and got a Alpha Tyrannosaur Tooth. “Let’s get this safely back to base, then we can find Red and his group.” Serenity said as she walked back to the Giga. Sodden and Rod nodded. Serenity put the tooth in her bag then got on the Giga. “Oh, what’re we doing on these? We can just fly back.” Rod said. Everyone laughed then got off the Gigas and put them in their cryopods. Then they took out their flyers and set out back for the base.

Origins of Salizar, Chapter 20: ~hostile takeover~

“I have to say, your scales are much more comfortable than I expected.” Salizar said atop the massive back of Apex. “Thank you father, the sky rock is just ahead.” Apex said. “Land ho.” Salizar said.

Darkhide angrily scuttled through the base, searching for signs of life, “stpd Emrld, darn Talus..” he mumbled, getting Terrace’s name wrong yet again. He was sick of searching, there was obviously nobody there and he hadn’t heard any roars, it was time to head back and hopefully collect his reward. But then he heard it, the roar, followed by a huge crash and the sound off falling shingles. “What the-” he turned around to the castle to see the mighty Apex, perched atop Fort Olympia, the structure crumbling under his weight. He stared wide-eyed at the massive dragon for a moment, then he ran for the caves, unfortunately for him Salizar saw him, “There! It’s a.. hmm I don’t know actually.” He said. Apex flew off of the castle which made the roof fall in as he did, and kept soared down to intercept Darkhide. Darkhide looked back at the dragon quickly outpacing him, he squealed a bit before getting caught under a massive talon. ‘Oh no this is it.. they were right about the surface!’ He thought, his head under his claws and eyes shut. “You, what are you..” a voice said in-front of him. He opened his eyes to see a mesopithicus wearing a cloak, satchel lined with throwing knives, and a skull mask. “Better question who are you?! And WHAT IS THAT!?!” He said as Apex’s head lowered to see him. “Nevermind who we are, tell me who you are or he’ll turn you into a rather pungent puddle.” Salizar said. Darkhide’s eyes widened at the thought, “I’m- uh Darkhide..” He said. “And what is Darkhide?” Salizar said. “I’m a rockdrake.” He said. “Impossible, rockdrakes are feathered and never leave their caves.” Salizar said, “squish the ‘Rockdrake’ Apex.” He said. “Yes father.” Apex said. “WAIT!” Darkhide protested. Apex loosened his grip. “I am a drake I swear, I was born without feathers and I was sent to the surface to find out what happened to the humans!” Darkhide said. “Hmm prove it, bring me another drake, your leader. Oh and tell them that if you don’t comply that my so- … Apex will blast fire into your caves and cook all of you like dodos in deep fryer.” Salizar said rather pleasantly. Apex lifted his talon and Darkhide scurried away. “You have one hour.” Salizar said.

“Lies! You’re just trying to trick us into leaving the security of our home and to make a fool out of our leader!” A councilman said. “Are we sure it’s worth a risk? Think about the children.” A drake General called Igneous said. “You’re the most by the book drake here Emerald, what say you?” Terrace asked. Emerald looked around the room thinking, Darkhide’s face looked truthful, and scared. “We have no choice. We have to do it.” She said.

“So, how bright up there is it exactly?” Terrace asked Darkhide as they led the way through the cave. “Crazy bright, but it should be almost sunset now.” He answered. “Ah the fabled ‘sun’ I have to say I am intrigued by the concept.” Terrace said. They eventually reached the exit, only Darkhide and Terrace actually left the cover of the cave ceiling, the rest watched from the wide cave mouth. The lumbering form of Apex towered behind Salizar, Terrace saw them, but was paying much more attention to the beautiful sunset, the purple willows glowing slightly from its fading light. “This the leader?” Salizar asked. Nobody really answered before he immediately snapped his fingers, Apex on cue lunged his head down and snatched Terrace up, swallowing him with a horrible crunch. There were screams and gasps of shock and horror from the onlookers, but Salizar continued without so much as a flinch, “you all belong to me now. Any questions?” Nobody answered, they all just looked on in disbelief, “good, first order of business, I need miners, who’s good at digging?” He asked happily. Nobody moved. “Come on don’t be shy, I won’t bite! That’s what Apex is for.” He laughed. “I’ll do it.” Darkhide said. “Darkhide!” Emerald whispered urgently, she couldn’t believe he just signed up for this. “Ahh our first volunteer! I’ll make you Forman!” Salizar said, still cheerful, “who else?” A few slowly stepped out. “Good, good! Welcome to Salizar mining, where your safety is the least of our concerns!” Salizar said, quite pleased with his slogan. “What about the rest of us? You gonna eat us all?” Emerald asked defiantly. “The rest of you can find your uses, the castle over there needs some renovations. And guards are always nice!” Salizar said. “And if we don’t want to work for you?” Emerald said. “Well, down the hatch.” Salizar replied. Emerald just looked between Salizar and Darkhide, she felt betrayed and hopeless, but she did notice others seemed to look the same.
