Chapter 2 – Solid Land
Disclaimer: I do not own Spore, the awesome people at Maxis do.
Notes: The first chapter wasn't as good as I'm hoping the rest to be, it is so hard to describe the life of a cell.

29 000 000 B.C.
The Taration Colony has grown quite a bit; they have expanded to seventy two nests and have more then twenty three million in population. They're appearance has also changed; they now have four legs, two eyes and a boar like snout with tusks. The skin colour is now green with yellow stripes on the back.
"Hork" Young Carallis said to his friend, "I'm bored"
"Me too" Hork replied, he looked like an elephant but with eight legs and four arms.
They ran towards a fruit tree and tried to grab some fruit down. Once they jumped high enough to grab it; three shadows appeared. They turned around and saw three from the Dzernik group. The Dzernik's looked like dragons.
"Hey, Gurtiz, Rarzak, Uzan" Carallis said cautiously.
"What're you doing at our fruit tree?" Uzan asked in a mean tone of voice.
"This tree is nowhere near your nest!" Hork yelled at them.
"So? We carved our name on the back, which means it's ours" Rarzak informed them.
"We don't care" Carallis said, "Do you wanna fight over it?"
"That's what we were hoping for" Gurtiz replied as they ran towards Carallis and Hork.
Carallis gored Uzan's leg and Hork gored Gurtiz's stomach. Rarzak flew upwards and covered the entire area in fire.
"This'll teach ya!" He yelled.
Rarzak stopped breathing fire for a second and saw Carallis jump on top of the tree and launch himself at him.
"What the hell!" Rarzak was tackled out of the sky.
When they landed the fire cleared and everyone was still alive. They got up and got a safe distance away from each other.
"You stupid bastard! I'm gonna tell Hokraz the Fifth about this!" Gurtiz yelled as they ran away.
Carallis and Hork looked at each other and ran back to their nests to tell the alphas about the upcoming fight. When Carallis got there he almost collapsed from exhaustion.
"Naranis the third!" Carallis yelled, "My friend Hork and I got in a fight with three bullies and we all got injured and they're about to tell Hokraz the Fifth!"
Naranis stood there for a second and then issued a command with a shout, "Soldiers! Line up in a circle formation! Alpha's in the outer ring and the rest on the inside!"
It took fifteen minutes but they managed to form the circle. A spot of rain fell on one of the soldier's nose and it started rain.
"Prepare for battle!" An alpha on a rock pillar yelled.
The Tarations issued a warcry as the Jurongs became visible over the hilltop. Carallis secured his place in the circle formation as the War Chief Alpha issued a command.
"West half of the circle formation, wedge formation!" He said, "East half, line formation fall back and come back when I issue the command! The command will be a mating call! Go now!"
The soldiers assumed the position as the Jurongs got ever closer. The pillar that Ratallis, the Alpha was standing on burst open and dozens of Jurongs poured out.
"Ambush!" Ratallis screamed as he fell to his death.
"Don't break formation!" Roris, a new Alpha took charge.
As the ambushing Jurongs got closer to the ground some Tarations jumped up and gored them. The army of Jurongs smashed into the wedge formation and broke position.
"Shit!" Carallis yelled as a Jurong put its talon on his chest and pressed down.
