The undergrowth parted to the angry bellows of the furious plated herbivores, their hides different shades of green, gray and yellow and adorned with spots, stripes and blotches of all sorts. Some had all three. All of them however, sported plates with a blood red lining, the bones flushed with their blood- a clear warning to any threat not to contend with these behemoths. Aircrest's eyes widened, his decision being made astonishingly fast, though it was hardly surprising what it was. He suddenly forgot the dull ache across his body and dashed out from his cover, speeding past the Allosaur. She glanced to the green fleeing blur, but whether she recognized the raptor or not wasn't clear. Her attention was drawn back to the herd of charging Stegosaurs, the giants moving shockingly fast for their bulkiness. They trampled over the vegetation, cutting their own path across the jungle floor, their sides facing the Allosaur, a semi circle wrapping around her path ahead. Their spiked tails lashed about as they let out deep booming calls contending with the mighty roars of the therapods. The brown scaled Allosaur, with the talons of her foot cutting into the flesh of her kill as she pressed down on it, let out a terrifying screeching roar that ended with a hiss, deepening to snarl, trying to break the formation and dishearten the resistance. The Stegosaurs remained unfazed and one slammed their tail down, creating a loud thud on impact and threw up a dust cloud. The Allosaur curled her lips and then stepped off of the dead juvenile, lowering her head to get another bite from it before leaving.
She would not get such an opportunity, as suddenly the mother of the slain youngster lumbered forward, swinging her body about as the Allosaur looked up in surprise. The last thing she would see was the spikes on the creature's tail hurtling towards her face, stabbing into her skull.
