3 men walk across the beach. They feel as if they can take on the whole world. Their bodies donned with shining plates of metal with few dents and scratches, and thier hands holding a pike, crossbow, and pistol. The man with the pistol leads the trio, searching for more prey, and more new creatures. They walk a while until a familiar screech echoes through the trees, the sound of a raptor. The man with the pike simply ignores it having killed many raptors before, the one with the crossbow takes notice, but continues, until at least the man with the pistol signals to stop. He steels his glance and has the man with the pike pull out a spyglass, and then he looks through. As he thought, 5 raptors were running their way, although they didn’t act normal. Some were limping, often tripping and scrambling to get up, and all of them were bloody and beaten. The man with the pistol thought. Beach Bobs have the inexperience to have left raptors alive, but they would’ve been killed before they bruised up so many raptors. More skilled survivors wouldn’t be so sloppy as to leave 5 raptors still alive, so only a creature could’ve done it. The man with the crossbow checked his map he received from merchants up north, and there was only one carnivore who lived in these parts, but dilophosaurs tended to be rather weak, and most herbivores would’ve died first to this many raptors. The 5 suddenly approached, but all of them sprinted right past the confused men save one who ran into the man the man with the pike, the pike specifically. The three turned towards the fleeing raptors who were now swimming, hoping to get to the other side of the cove, getting picked off by mantas or sharks. The three watched for a few minutes until the man with the crossbow felt heavy, slow breathing down his neck. All of them turned around to see 6 massive, man sized scythes of pure bone dangling from an even bigger dinosaur, and then, just like with a scythe, it swung in an arc and there were no more metal-clad heads sitting atop the three metal-clad bodies.
