Morning has arrived the next day in the Crystal Empire.
Near the city, loud footsteps were heard as it was about to get unwelcome company.
The next day, the pack of T. Rex turn up.
Looking for trouble.
The T. Rex pack have entered the city's grounds and stopped several yards away from the city. And with their sights on their prey.
The dominant female then roars out.
They're after their favorite food.
Triceratops.
The Triceratops herd soon turns to them as the T. Rex roars again. And soon Twilight and the others came out and saw them. And over an hour ago, a herd of Edmontosaurus arrived.
"This is not good." Twilight said.
With saliva drooling from her jaw, the female T. Rex is the first to charge towards the herd and with the others behind her.
The Triceratops and Edmontosaurus start to panic and start to run.
"Everyone inside now!" Shining Armor ordered.
The ponies fled in every direction as the dinosaurs flee from the T. Rex. And what the T. Rex will do, is find the weakest dinosaur.
And then, 2 Triceratops begin to confront 2 members of the Tyrannosaurs. An large male Edmontosaurus also confronts the predators.
A fully grown Triceratops, is far from defenseless.
Their frill, is made of solid bone.
Edmontosaurus' main defense is their tail that they can swing with great speed and force. A direct hit in the face, and the predator could get disoriented for a moment long enough for the Hadrosaur to get a head start.
As Twilight and the others were helping the other ponies into the buildings, Twilight found herself in a stampede of the Triceratops.
But the younger Triceratops and the Edmontosaurus know better then to stand their ground.
And then, Twilight knocked off her hooves by a passing 8 ton sub adult Triceratops. It was like getting hit by a train.
A Tyrannosaurus roars, and as Cadance was helping some ponies inside. She then noticed a young foal that has ran the wrong way, and is heading straight towards the female T. Rex who hasn't noticed her yet.
Cadance quickly rushes over to get the filly, and the T. Rex saw saw her. And she lowers down ready to snatch the foal, but Cadance got her out of the way. But the enormous jaws of the Tyrannosaurus have bite down on her left wing. Luckily, the teeth have just barely miss her, and has only bite down of the feathers of her grip. But the T. Rex has a firm grip.
Now Cadance struggle's to break free, the more trouble she's in as the T. Rex's 13 inch serrated teeth grip harder. And harder.
Everyone soon saw her as the Cretaceous monsters tries to hold her down to get a better grip of her.
But help is at hand.
Just before one of them was about to rush in to help her. Theo suddenly was seen charging towards the T. Rex. It's impossible to know why, but it's likely that Theo sees Cadance sometimes with Celestia. And possibly sees hers as another herd member.
And he's fighting back the big female T. Rex.
Theo charges and roars at the T. Rex, and she turns to him giving Cadance enough time to escape. And then Theo stabs his right horn in the Rex's left thigh, causing her to roar and pain. Theo then swung his head at the Rex as his backs way, and the T. Rex roars.
Cadance soon joins with the others.
"Are you okay?!" Shining Armor asked concernedly.
"I think so!" Cadance.
The T. Rex roars as Theo continues his assault on the predator, and then jabs a horn a few inches into the Rex's side. The Tyrannosaurus moves aside and brought her opened jaws towards Theo's left shoulder. But Theo quickly deflects that with a head swing and his horn knocking the Rex aside.
The T. Rex roars out, and then the other 4 Tyrannosaurus turns and retreats towards the mountains back the way they came.
Theo then slams his frill against the Tyrannosaur, and she was almost thrown off her feet. And then Theo rams her again, and she was knocked off her feet and falls to the ground. And Theo lets out a loud bellowing roar, as his body was pumped up with testosterone.
Soon the female T. Rex painfully got to her feet, and stood up. And soon, she limps away and followed her pack.
Normally, Triceratops at Theo's size would never attack an adult Rex. But it appears that Theo is now big enough, and strong enough to look after himself.
Twilight and the others looked at the young dinosaur with unbelievable looks on their faces. And Theo continues roaring at the top of his lungs, and stomps the ground. Theo could've killed the predator if he wanted too.
And soon, Theo breathes heavily as his adrenaline levels start to lower. And streams of mist exits his flaring nostrils each time he exhales.
When his aggression levels have finally dropped, he then turns to the Triceratops herd nearby as they were regrouping from the attack. And several of them approached him, and bellows to him.
The old male soon confronts him, and then snorted. And then he calls out to the herd and he turns and starts walking. And the herd begin to follow him, Theo as well follows.
Twilight and the others watched as he did. And then, Theo stops and turns back to Celestia. The caretaker he was with for almost a year, Theo lets out a bellow and soon joins back with the herd.
"Are you gonna be okay, Celestia?" Twilight asked.
"Yes, Twilight." Celestia said. "I know I couldn't keep him around forever."
And they watched as the herd disappears into the distance.
The next day, the city has been returned to normal.
Cadance was able to escape with only a bruise wing. But will recover.
And now Twilight and her friends were boarding the train to home.
"You sure you'll be okay, Cadance?" Twilight asked concernedly.
"I'm fine Twilight, just need to be easy on the wing for a few days." Cadance said.
"Okay, if you guys need me, I'm on the next train." Twilight said.
"Okay, Twily." Shining Armor said.
She soon boarded the train, and joins with the others. And she sat down as then her friends turn to the windows outside. Twilights looks outside, and there was the Brachiosaurus she saw yesterday with Flurry.
And the train started rolling away as the Brachiosaurus bellows outs. And her bellows continued as if she was saying farewell to them. She bellows out again as she turns, and then she lifts up into her hind legs.
And then a tear drops from Twilight's eyes as the Brachiosaur got more distant. And one final bellow was heard.
Next Time.
Winter arrives, and Equestria will be in for a real spectacle.
