Al snarled at the predator, eyes filled with hate. The predator responded in kind, then leapt into the air, only to be batted aside by Al's tail. Al charged in for the kill, only for another of the creatures to ram into his flank, tipping him over. As that one moved for his neck, though, a thagomizer shot out of nowhere, goring the mammal and throwing it to the ground. Before it could right itself, a long, stork-like beak grabbed its skull, and with just a little twisting, the Quetzalcoatlus snapped the mammal's neck. Al didn't notice this, though - his attention was focused on Cooler the Stegosaurus - he was the one who had saved Al. The stegosaur, however, paid no mind to what would normally be one of his predators - the mammals from the future were a bigger concern. And everyone seemed to agree on that.
Ordered chaos was the best description of the clearing - creatures from all over the park were amassing, determined to slaughter the unwelcomed guests. Said guests were not intent to go down without a fight, though - many were already going on the offensive. Four had joined up with the one Al was fighting, with the five charging toward Al.
Only two got close - one was pinned by Cactus the ceratosaur, another fatally gored on Cooler's tail, while a third was introduced to the strength of a Diplodocus' legs, which swiftly pancaked the predator. The other two paid their fallen pack mates no mind - their focus was on the allosaur. One leapt into battle, only for Al to swipe it aside, fatally injuring its skull in the process. The other - the very same one that had attacked Nigel, decided to take things more cautiously, and began circling around the carnosaur, waiting for an opening to strike.
And when it saw one, it charged.

The female Postosuchus snapped ferociously at the predator, even as she was flipped onto her back. Futile her efforts may have been, but she would not die without a fight. Still, she wasn't in the best position - her soft belly was now exposed to the monster's claws and jaws, and while she tried to hold it back with her front legs, it was just too strong.
Before it could inflict a killing blow, though, a swarm of Coelophysis rammed into it, throwing the beast to the ground. From their, an orgy of biting and clawing ensued, the small theropods trying to tear the creature apart. Joining them were the fluffy ornithischians they normally preyed upon - now was a time for old feuds to be put on hold, to purge the stain that had tarnished their home.
Despite the vicious onslaught, the predator managed to right itself, only to get knocked over and trampled by a prosauropod, who ended up crushing the beast's skull. A ferocious set of hisses turned the smaller dinosaurs' attentions toward a nearby set of ferns, where a group of smaller predators were hiding - these infants were the offspring of the one that had just been slain, and they wanted vengeance.
Fortunately, they were just the right size to be prey for the Coelophysis. What followed would make a school of piranhas jealous and scared.

Matilda bit down, crushing one of the armored predators in her giant maw. Spitting it out without a care, she looked for her next victim, crushing a quilled one in the process - thankfully stepping on its belly instead of its back. More of the creature were running about, trying and failing to repel the residents.
Matilda had never met these creatures before. Normally, she would be cautious around them, at least until she knew what they could do. These beasts, however, provoked only one feeling in her - the desire to rip and tear until all were dead. Only then would she even consider eating them.
Out of nowhere, one of the flying predators landed on her snout, where to began a vicious assault, trying to do as much damage as possible to kill the rex. Surprised, scared, and angry, Matilda began to shake her head like crocodile tearing into a carcass, trying to throw the beast off since her arms could not do so. Yet ultimately, her struggles proved unnecessary - a fleshy yet furry tendril grabbed the predator and slammed it to the ground. A moment later, Martha finished off the beast with a single heavy step.
With the beast dead, mammoth and dinosaur turned to regard each other. The two had not forgotten how they had last met, one trying to kill the elephant calf, the other trying to save it. Matilda wasn't exactly one to hold a grudge, but elephants rarely forgot.
...But for now, she was going to let that offense slide. They had other creatures to kill.

An Edmontosaurus cried out in alarm as one of the gliding predator's leapt onto its flank and began to dig in. The tables swiftly turned, however, when North the Dakotaraptor pounced on the predator, tearing it off the hadrosaur's side. Without wasting a second, North tore out the beast's throat, leaving the predator to swiftly bleed out. Looking up, the raptor just barely had time to widen his eyes in shock before the hadrosaur he had saved (and known to the park as Dakota) slammed his tail into another gliding predator, sending it careening into the ground, skeleton shattered. Another soon joined it, body roasted by the flames of a prehistoric dragon. The charred by living predator was then set upon by a horde of smaller pterosaurs, which swiftly began to tear it apart.
Similar scenes played out all across the clearing - horned dinosaurs and hadrosaurs trampled some of the predators into past, while wolves and big cats put aside their enmity with each other and bears to obliterate the intruders. The park's pairs of Veclociraptor and Protoceratops were even teaming up to kill one of the predators, whilst various denizens from the future (including several way too massive bugs) were going to town on their enemies.
Two of the gliders attempted to tear off Terence and Matilda's faces, only to get taken down by Jane and Junior, who in turn were saved by their mates when a pair of armored predators tried to avenge their comrades.
One predator, however, decided to try and seek vengeance on Tristan. Tackling the boy to the ground, it moved to tear out his throat. Yet it had not accounted for his friends and family, who united as one to tackle the beast away. From there they proceeded to show the creature why humans were a variety of apex predator. The frenzy of punches, kicks, and knife blows that followed was savage, and if the fluids the humans regurgitated moments later were an indication, even the humans were shocked by their own actions.
Soon, only one predator remained - the one that had been fighting Al. Covered in small cuts, the creature charged Al, only to be shoulder charged and knocked over. Rolling to avoid a stomp, the mammal took a swipe at his flank, managing to injure it. Screeching in anger, Al backhanded the beast, sending it flying into a tree. Al rammed himself after his assailant, only for it to climb the tree and use it as a perch to jump at him. Landing on his back, the creature went about savaging the unprotected flesh, with Al trying to buck it off. Realizing he had no other choice, Al reared up and allowed himself to fall onto his back. The creature sensed his plan and moved to escape, only to get caught by one of Al's feet. Rolling, Al managed to crush the creature's stomach area under his foot, then forced himself up and, without a moment of hesitation, decapitated the beast.
Letting out a triumphant roar, Al grabbed the carcass and began to limp back to his exhibit - the battle was his, and he wanted to enjoy his kill. The cleanup would be left to the humans...as soon as they stopped gawking at all of the creatures peacefully returning to their exhibits, that is.
