Chapter 3: Meeting and Saving the Gang

So the moment that roar was heard, Topps told the children to stay while the adults went to see what happened. And since I would be considered a child as well (because I'm 15 years old), I was left with the rest of the children. This gave me time to meet them all.

First, Ali decided to introduce me to her friends. First she introduced me to her cousin Littlefoot. He looked similar to her (and was her exact height), except that he was a guy, was a shade of brown, and had reddish brown eyes. He was also dressed in a pair of pants with a vine belt and bracers, but his pants weren't as tattered as Mr. Threehorn's were. He said "Nice to meet you," in a very friendly manner, which I liked.

She then introduced me to Cera, who was a triceratops who stood about 5'11, with yellow skin, and green eyes. She was dressed in pretty much the same thing as Ali, but a with bracers around her ankles as well as her wrists. She said, "So, you're a human. You don't look that tough," to which I retorted with "Meet me in the ring and I may just surprise you."

Then came Ducky and her adopted brother Spike. Ducky was a green Saurolophus with blue eyes, standing at about 5'6, and dressed in about the same outfit as the other girls, but with what looked like short shorts under her, and vines where the bracelets would be. Spike was a greenish Stegosaurus with purple eyes, who stood at 5'6 as well, and was dressed basically the same as Littlefoot, but with vines where the bracelets would be. Ducky said, "Hello", and Spike simply waved.

And the last one she introduced me to was Petrie, who was a brown Pteranodon with black eyes, standing about 5'7. His wings were connected to his arms, and went down to his hips. He was dressed in the same thing as the other guys, but his pants hung a little lower on his body (likely so that he could use his wings to fly).

After introductions, the group was a bit hesitant to tell me about them, so I proposed an idea: "How about I tell you things about me, and in exchange, you tell me the same info about you." They all agreed to this idea, but were still a bit hesitant.

"I'll start," I told them "I am 15 years old." When they heard this, they all responded that they were 14 years old.

"I am a human, as you know." To this they told me what they call their species (Longneck for Littlefoot and Ali, Threehorn for Cera, Swimmer for Ducky, Spiketail for Spike, and Flyer for Petrie).

"I taught myself martial arts." To this, they didn't know what martial arts were. When I explained it to them, they said they told us they all didn't know fighting well.

"I love to be outside." To this, they all agreed, mainly because they live outside.

But before we could continue to do this, the roaring sound from earlier came closer. As it should turn out, a green teenage T-Rex found their way to our location. He had a ruthless look on his face, and was about to attack us, so I stepped into action.

I kicked him straight in his gut, and used that to keep him down for a moment. Then, finding the nearest tree, I took off a branch from it, and began to attack, using it as a staff. The T-Rex continued to attempt to attack the group, but before he could, I smacked him in the back of the head.

This seemed to slow him down, and this allowed the adults to get here in time. The T-Rex was still determined to take one of them down, so I kept trying to keep him back. But then he tried to attack Ali, and was stopped by me. Unfortunately for him, he just put me into my (as I call it) Berserker's Mindset.

Putting as much power as I possibly could into my next strike, the side of my staff hit him square in his temple. Afterword, I hit him with powerful blows to his head (focusing on the weaker parts of it) and body (focusing on the Solar Plexus among other weak spots). Seeing he had no chance, the T-Rex retreated.

Exiting my Berserker's Mindset, and noticing that everyone was staring at me quite shocked, I realized I had some explaining to do. But there was one hing I did first and foremost. Turning to the group, I told them, "And that is how you stave of a Sharptooth with a tree branch."

Well, in any case, this story is certainly more lighthearted than 'Troy' is going to be. See that's what I'm doing with these is I'm writing them both, and they are being of different tones. But I am liking writing both different stories, so I am happy.

Also the 'Berserker's Mindset' is another connection to real world me (when I get serious during like a sparring match, it basically spells loss for my opponent), and there is another connection that I won't say, but should be easy to figure out.
