Chapter 9
Croco-Boar!
In the deep conifers of the forest, several beautiful white birds were flying at the north-west as they flapped their wings gracefully. Several mysterious birds then suddenly appeared appeared from the trees & the thick green leaves, but however, these were extinct since 1914, almost a few hundred years before. These birds were mostly grey with a dark grey head- & grey feathers with brown plumage's at the very front, which were veined. Male specimens of these birds had bright orange bellies & throat with crimson red eyes with females having a slightly more peachy throat belly. They were none other than the Ectopistes migratorius or Passenger Pigeon! The Passenger Pigeon were one of the most social & migratory animals in the entire world, long before they became extinct due to severe human activities. These pigeons were joining up with the white birds & were flying in the billions! Turn's out, InGen aren't just cloning dinosaurs, they were also secretly genetically researching & resurrecting extinct animals back from the dead. As the two species of birds flew off, giant footsteps started to rumble getting louder & louder every second. Eventually, a large creature approaches a forest tree, revealing itself to be Dagger as he sniffs towards the east.
Suddenly, Zak also emerges, & so does the Carnotaurus Brothers, Dragbull & Bronx & lastly, the oddballs. Dagger then again looked at the north, & then convinced his pack to go on, which everyone followed. As Dagger was walking along the forest paths , several Passenger Pigeon's were seen either resting at the branches or flocking in different directions. However, they were no concern of the pack who were still moving onto the north. As they went by, Amelia & Jagger were playing for some fun & exercise. Maverick on the other hand, was a bit suspicious in that there might be a surprise danger somewhere. Redback was actually the most grim & suspicious out of the eight. On the other hand, Dragbull was smelling at every direction, knowing about Redback's behavior, & the fact in that there might be a predator lurking around the conifers & the cycad's, waiting for a bite for themselves. Bronx on the other hand was more focused on the back, as he knew that he could be in any random danger if he doesn't see backwards as clever predators could attack undetected. Zak & Dagger were the most focused on the front, as they needed to travel further because if they didn't they would starve. As the eight members of the pack traveled, Passenger Pigeons & white bird's were flocking directly at the north, but for a different reason. Somewhere at the shadows of the palms & prehistoric vegetation, a glowing yellow eye pierced right through the darkness of the conifers & into the brightness. A Croc-like snout then wiggled out of the cycad's. It was a brownish-grey colored & had a huge nostril for a nose. A nasty growl then shrieked, & a snarl then roared as the creature's nose blew.
At a marshy riverside, leading to a lake, a large Spinosaurus prowled through the aqua-colored water, as it's feet drove right into it, with the dinosaur giving in a loud growl. It was Dread! Dread was just walking by the side, his bite at the sail, caused by Axel now fully healed. He was actually at a hunt, deciding to fish up for an Onchopristis for a meal, before returning to his Marshland territory, where his mate & his children were waiting for him. Dread then placed his snout into the water, while deep inside, several Onchopristis were seen swimming together in colonies, not noticing the Spinosaurus's snout. Then, in a flash, Dread then suddenly snatched up a fish & then then threw it viciously into the ground. The Onchopristis struggled helplessly in order to get back to the water, but Dread wouldn't let that happen. He then trapped the fish with his feet with sheer force & then stripped the poor Onchopristis to huge ribbons of flesh with his giant, wicked claws. Dread then growled slightly before nipping & ripping off chunks of the dead fish, eating his fill as much as he he ate, he was encountered by a small group of 8 Compsognathus scampered out of a tree fern, all having pale, scaled green skin with the leader being yellow-striped. This pack was actually the pack who invaded the nest where Redback was born. These Compy's were born scavengers & only hunt small insects. As soon as Dread finally left behind much of the flesh left in the Onchopristis corpse & stormed off with a loud growl, the Compy pack wasted no time in swarming around the dead fish to eat off the remnants of it. For awhile, the pack will enjoy a week long supper while having a fresh water source at a corner.
Meanwhile as the pack were traveling inside the dense, thick forest, Redback noticed a small, shining hole at a bush, that actually led to the northern riverside. Knowing that it would allow him to make it to the north, Dagger roared before bursting out of the leaves, the light of the sun, shining down into him, followed by the oddballs, the Carnotaurus Brothers & Zak. There, they decided to take a couple of drinks, but then, Zak grew suspicious, knowing that the river is being swarmed by hundreds of Onchopristis as they were heading out to the main lake for the breeding season. Obeying Zak's orders, everyone, including Dagger decide to navigate to a smaller water hole, connected to the river. There, the pack then decide to place & dip their mouth & nose into the water & then drink peacefully, as they quenched up their thirst. As the pack were enjoying however, Dread, who was just out wandering all by himself, did manage to encounter the pack, & the moment he saw Redback gave him a silent, yet aggressive growl. Although he was extremely determined to kill him, he was surprised to see Dagger with him, making Dread think twice before attacking. He knew that Dagger is more than a match for him as he was defeated several times by him & that if he fought him again, this was sure to be his last. Deciding to head back to his family, Dread snarls before walking away. However, unknown to the eight, a group of yellow eyes were clearly spying on the pack. Their main targets: Redback, Amelia, Maverick & Jagger. Growling, the yellow-eyed stalkers then dash off to the other side of the conifers.
As Zak & Dagger took a look at the migrating Onchopristis, they decided to find the nearest cave & take a nap, calling in the Carnotaurus Bros. & the oddballs, telling them to move on. However, before they even managed to move, they got startled when a loud growl was being heard at the bushes. Suddenly, a crocodile-like creature with yellow eyes & brownish-grey armor & scaly skin then jumped out & & growled as it was drooling, due to his hunger. Suddenly, three more of these stalkers popped out & growled at the same way. They were without a doubt, crocodiles, but however, their heads were a little different & to top everything off, they had long, slender legs, capable of reaching short bursts of speed, up to approx. 48 mph. These weren't ordinary crocodiles, they were actually Kaprosuchus, the Boar-Croc, designed to charge their prey with their amazing speed & agility, combined with raw power!
Dagger approached the Kaprosuchus pack & roared furiously, demanding to kill them if they don't retreat. Not hesitating, one of the Boar-Croc's attacked with sheer ferocity, charging at high speed. Dagger simply just swerved his head to theright, slamming the Kaprosuchus straight on & sending him into the Onchopristis filled river. However, the other three Kaprosuchus then attacked Dagger viciously, but were then soon fended off by Zak, Dragbull & Bronx, who earlier convinced the oddballs to get into hiding with one of the conifers. Suddenly, the Kaprosuchus that was thrown into the river emerged out with a splash, not much injured or cut, but very angry indeed. The four Kaprosuchus, although weaker than their dinosaur opponents did put up a very vicious fight indeed, as one of them managed to cling onto Zak's head, only to get thrown into the marshy sands, near the riverside. Dragbull managed to knock his opponent into the forest & Bronx managed to headbutt him, knocking him into the river as well, but returning afterwards.
The battle between the eight was extremely intense, until a fifth opponent arrived from nowhere. As the battle ensured, a loud growl was heard from the conifers of the forest from the other side. Dagger's pack stopped short & glared at the direction where the growl was heard, but the four Kaprosuchus simply backed down & went towards where the growl was heard as well. Suddenly, a huge Kaprosuchus burst out of the bushes with a loud, thundering roar & then crashed into the dusty sands with a smoke of dust following. This Kaprosuchus was 16 meters (52 feet) long & more weirder, it was a pure orange scaly skin with black tiger stripes from head to tail. The larger Kaprosuchus swung his tail side-to-side as it growled, it's strong, webbed feet for swimming, with four razor sharp claws , supported by four long pillars of legs pushing the sands with force, for natural balance. The Kaprosuchus then poened it's mouth & then with a loud flash, shut it right open, with a cringe. Another failed attempt of InGen's Chaos Effect, this was Chaser, a Kaprosuchus, combined with Tiger D.N.A, giving it the tiger's skin color, & although smaller than most larger Chaos Effect dinosaurs, it was more than a real powerhouse, he is the primary nemesis of Clamp Jaw the Sarcosuchus, whom they compete each other for territory & food sources. To settle the problem, Clamp Jaw decided to take the southern lake, whereas Chaser not only taking the northern river, but also lurking among the northern forests, full of conifers & cycad bushes. It seems that Dagger, Dragbull, Bronx & Zak have met their match together, glaring at the oversized Boar-Croc, ready to battle anytime.
