Chapter 12

The Liopleurodon had the Spinosaurus' arm in its mouth, while the Spino was chomping at the side of the Lioplerodon. The beasts were fighting each other! The group looked at each other, amazed.

"The lifeboats!" yelled the navigator, and everyone ran to the door. The monsters were on the opposite side of the boat, everyone could hear their thunderous roars and gigantic splashes. They all piled into the boat and the captain began winching them down. A few minutes later they touched water and Billy, Ian, Paul, and Nick started hurriedly rowing to shore.

When they were within twenty yards of the beach the roars and splashed stopped. Now could be heard a sort of crunching, and the group tried not to think about what was going on behind the ship. Suddenly the crunching stopped. "It must have finished," said Amanda faintly, she looked pale.

All were watching the boat as it shuddered under a blow none could see, and another, and another. Then an almighty crack told them all that the small luxury liner had taken enough. It started leaning away from them, toward the ocean, then came up right, though lower, and finally sank to the bottom of a now ancient ruled sea.

Over the sinking ship the assembly now saw the winner of the colossal battle, the Spinosaurus loomed, more frightening than ever, with blood around its jaws and bleeding cuts along its sides. A flash of lightening illuminated the gruesome beast. Also at that moment it turned and looked straight at them.

The men hurriedly started paddling again, they were distracted by the sinking boat. The monster roared and started toward them, running over the descending boat. "Go faster!" Lex and Kelly yelled. "We're going as fast as we can!" the men answered as the enormous dinosaur bounded towards them.
