When it became morning, they looked at all the corpses.
Littlefoot was horrified at seeing the dead babies in the hole."He just...he just stepped on them..."
Frank Castle was also looking at them but there was no emotion on his face.
"The storm must have sent these bastards back in time with us." Molland said, looking at some of the Vietnamese soldier's corpses.
"There might be more. We need to get the hell out of here." Said Fish.
Castle looked at them and nodded."Get everything you need. We're leaving."
Before they left, Littlefoot looked back at the dead Diplodocus mother that had died. He remembered how his mother had died.
The Platoon and dinosaurs walked. Littlefoot and her friends were still processing everything from last night, all the death they had seen.
"It's so hot." Said Petrie."Me like skywater better than this."
Ducky would have taken a swim in the water...but she was thinking about the dead babies.
"We must be getting closer to the Big Water." Littlefoot said, seeing a lake.
Usually, the kids would have celebrated by cooling off and playing in the water.
Right now, though, they were still thinking of the dead babies and the dead mom and all the blood.
"Mo swim ahead. Go see which water path take us to Big Water. Be back soon." Mo then swam down the river.
The sky started to become dark with black clouds. It then started to rain.
"Another fuckin' storm." Molland muttered.
Suddenly, a bullet quickly went across the front of Spike's face.
"INCOMING!" Yelled Fish, seeing Vietnamese soldiers in the distance. He aimed his rifle and started shooting back at them.
Littlefoot then heard the loud sounds again like last night. An explosion happened near her.
"That's mortaring." Castle noted, shooting his M14 rifle.
"Nothin' bigger. Fuckers gotta be close." Said Dryden.
The soldiers and dinosaurs retreated, running into the lake and standing on a shallow part of it.
"We got no cover!" Capa yelled.
In the distance, Commander Ly Quang was looking through binoculars, looking at the American soldiers and the Dinosaurs.
When she had first told Letrong Giap and Nguyen Van Cuong about the dinosaurs she had seen, they didn't believe her.
But after they saw the dinosaur they had killed last night...
Ly Quang's eyes widened when she recognized one of the American soldiers.
It was the one that had killed her soldiers.
"How many?" Castle asked Dryden as he reloaded. More soldiers came to the shallow part of the lake. Littlefoot and his friends were behind Castle's soldiers.
"Can't say for sure. 'Least a company so far." Dryden said.
"And no end in sight. Ammo's running low." Castle said.
"And this is where it gets a little complicated." Said Goodwin.
"That's pretty much the understatement of the century." Molland said.
"Not quite what I meant. I mean yes, of course, in the sense of what happened to you and what you witnessed. But remember my other interviewee?"
"By the time I got back, reports had started coming in." Said Letrong Giap, now old.
Giap had survived the Vietnam war, the only wound was a bullet wound through his throat. Now, he was being interviewed by Goodwin.
"And I realized instantly what she had done. Ly Quang, obsessed with slaughtering Americans, had sent word of an entire some soldiers and small dinosaurs. She knew full well that Cuong would respond with the largest force available, which in this case was half a battalion. Our people quickly saw that they faced no more than a soldiers, and told us so...
"Very well handled soldiers. Hard to outflank, harder still to take frontally. But that was all. Of course, by then it was too late."
Giap walked through the jungle with his soldiers."Tell them to break off the attack immediately. Tell them mortars only." He ordered.
A soldier next to him nodded."Yes, brother colonel."
"Find transport. I must reach Captain Cuong without delay."
Another soldier nodded."At once, brother colonel."
"In my heart, I knew it had to be too late. A military nincompoop, a halfwit befuddled by that bright-eyed psychopath. Could there be a recipe for worse disaster? And yet, I thought of cause and country, of the sheer promise of the girl. And I knew I had to try."
Suddenly, a wave of water splashed them. They saw the Vietnamese soldiers stop shooting all of a sudden. They were staring at something, their jaws dropped in shock.
Confused, they turned around and were looking at a tall, dark creature with fins.
"Holy fuck!" Fish yelled, shocked and scared."What is that?!"
"Sharptooth swimmer!" Said Cera."Run!"
They ran away from the Sharptooth.
The Vietnamese focused and fired at the Sharptooth. The creature's skin was too tough for it to bleed. Annoyed, the creature used its fin to hit the soldiers, knocking them out or even killing them.
But as they ran away, Littlefoot saw an explosion happen near Dryden, knocking him down. She also saw something happen to the Castle.
A woman wearing black clothing stabbed him in the back, knocking him down.
The rest of the American soldiers and dinosaurs ran over to a big wooden log as Dryden
"We are so fucked!" Said Molland, freaking out as they hid in the log."We're surrounded by Vietnamese, there's a huge, scary-ass monster in the water...we're fucked!"
"Calm down!" Yelled Fish."Wait...where's Castle?"
Dryden watched Castle get up, the Vietnamese woman on his back.
Castle grabbed her arm but the woman bit his thumb. She then pulled the knife out of his back.
"Hah!" She yelled as there was lightning in the sky."Hah!"
But before she could stab him again, Castle quickly fell back, hitting her back on a rock near them.
The woman screamed in pain, her backbreaking. The Sharptooth swimmer swam over to them.
"And then what happened, sergeant?" Goodwin asked Dryden.
They all looked at him.
"Sergeant Dryden?" Goodwin asked when he said nothing.
"He picked up the knife." Dryden finally answered."He's bleedin' bad. She's done. Mortars're comin' in all around, but you can see she knows he's there. Then she turns. Just for a moment, there's a look between the two of 'em."
"A look?" Said Molland.
"Do you mean like-her respect for an enemy or-or he's going to give her a clean death, or-"
"You know what it was? Nobody's goddamn business but theirs."
Castle grabbed her leg. He threw her into the Sharptooth swimmer's mouth.
Cuong was looking through his binoculars when he saw Giap walk over to him.
"Brother colonel-"
"Report, Captain." Said Giap.
"I-I didn't know you'd-"
"Report."
Cuong gave him the binoculars."I have called off the attack according to your instructions. Now engaging the enemy with mortars only."
"Where is Ly Quang?" Giap asked.
"Ah, no one knows, brother colonel. She has not been seen since the action commenced. It may be she is still in the combat zone...or..."
"Commendable insight, captain." Giap said."Stop the mortaring. Resume the attack with two platoons only. Make sure they know to watch out for her." He ordered.
Suddenly, lightning was striking the ground, hitting Cuong.
They looked at Cuong's lifeless body.
"He's dead!" Yelled a soldier."He's-"
"Calm yourselves." Giap said calmly."He is a most resilient comrade. I am sure this will make no difference to the performances of his duties."
"But he's not moving!"
Giap looked at the lake.
"Sister." He said, knowing that Ly Quang was gone.
"A few minutes later, the storm sent us all back to the present. Including Castle." Fish said.
"What happened to Littlefoot and his friends?"
"Last we saw them, they were in the log. Maybe that fucking creature killed them. Maybe they escaped. We don't know." Said Molland.
