Hey guys sorry it's been a while, I've been trying to deal with a server merge on a game I play, so anyway this'll introduce and give a physical description of the dinosaur I introduced last chapter. Enjoy!
Chapter 34
Stranded
My vision was blurry and faint, I coughed roughly as I looked at the thick blanket of smoke enveloped the cargo bay of the shuttle.
I groaned and looked out the window, Speckles and Blue eyes had been thrown from the plane and were unharmed.
I got up to the seat and grabbed Smith. He was breathing. I fell to my knees and dragged him out into the fresh air.
Speckles coughed and stood up.
"What happened?" He asked in a dazed fashion.
"We crashed." I said.
"We should call the Venator."
"We can't, the engines fried most of the generators, they only have enough power to do repairs. They were under the assumption we would be down here until they finished. We can't contact them." I said.
"Well there's a small chance they might detect the shuttle crash."
"No they won't, because I'm setting it to incinerate itself."
"Why?!" He asked.
"Because! We can't leave this wreckage here! There's no way all of it would be eroded. It needs to be incinerated before it changes the timeline."I said as I pushed a button.
The wires on the ship began to glow a bright orange, soon the entire ship had evaporated and whisked away, leaving no trace that it had ever been there.
We awoke smith and Blue eyes.
"Smith! You wanted to get the experience I had with Speckles? You've got it now."
He groaned.
"What was that thing that bit our wing?" He asked.
"I don't know." Speckles said.
"I was asking Jared, he was a paleontologist before he became what he is now." He replied.
The three of them looked at me, in my mind I was laughing... My subconscious found it hilarious that they needed help from me, to complete a puzzle that wasn't even a puzzle to me.
I sighed and began to explain.
"That was Undoubtedly a Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus..." I said.
"A Spinosaurus?" He replied.
"What is that?" Speckles asked.
"It was extinct long before you were born, but it is by far the largest predator ever known to walk this planet." I said.
"Sounds like you have a lot in common, considering that you're probably the deadliest." Blue eyes joked.
"Yeah make all the jokes you want, when I found out I would basically become a dinosaur hunter, that thing is the only dinosaur I ever thought of facing that makes me nervous."
"It makes you nervous?! Oh crap." Speckles said.
"Not only that, I idolize that thing. It was like Tarbosaurus and Tyrannosaurus, except it was bigger and faster. Not to mention it's crocodilian jaws give it a far more powerful bite than it would appear to have."
"Stronger than mine?" Speckles asked.
"Not quite, but still very strong." I replied
"That's not that much worse-"
"Oh, it also has very large arms with claws the size of industrial meat hooks, and a swing power strong enough to puncture steel."
"Ok that makes it considerably more deadly." Speckles said.
"We'd better be careful." I warned.
So there we go, like I said I've got a lot on my plate so expect a small gap in uploads. So as always, thanks for reading! Let me know what you think of the story so far! And I will see you (hopefully) for chapter 36!
