Crusher cocked his head at the small Troodon in front of him. he growled "What Troodons? You were the first one i have seen since i was a youngster being chased by them myself, other than a small group that were eating from a kill i had made, and had my newly born son by my side. one of the Troodons attempted to attack my son, and i fought them off, killing the attacker and scaring the rest off! and the Utah Raptors, contrary to what you think, are living quite happily on the north western tip of the island, in an area i called home for a few weeks. they are living inside the human structures there, and through the cave system near it. as for Carcharodontosaurs, i have only faced 2. one was chasing me and was over 3 times my size, back when i was too young to even have my own territory, and was roaming the island running from Thrasher, and the other challenged me to a fight to the death for territory, and lost. and i have so far only seen one Megalosaurus, and did not fight it. i was too small to fight it at the time i saw it!". he then looked at Bronx, and growled "As for you, Bronx, i can answer each of your points directly. firstly, it's foolish to stir up trouble. im surprised these Spinosaurs over here dont rip you to pieces for nearly getting them killed...". as Crusher spoke, the Spinosaurs stared at Bronx, as if thinking of exactly what Crusher had just mentioned. "...And Thrasher let Spinos fish in his territory like i let some rexes hunt in mine. the Gigas were allowed occasional entry to the north eastern edge of my territory when food was scarce outside of my territory, regardless of the occasional attack a mutant Giga would do against my family, the most memorable of which led to my territory being taken over for 2 days and my youngest son being eaten by the Giga, Grunt, for pleasure. There was Also Titan, which tried to attack my family several times, and nearly blinded my eldest son with a claw slash, which, along with his continual attacks on me, my family and my territory, led to his killing. the Allos, i killed following a series of attempts to attack me. they had been cheated of killing my brother, and decided i was a suitable replacement. it was simply self defence. I have, however, given them a small lake on the edge of my territory, where their favourite prey other than sauropods, feed and drink. they also are allowed to hunt the sauropods in the same area as the Gigas. whether they get into a fight with the Gigas or not is their business, not mine.
As for your second point, there is one big difference between you and me, Bronx. I didn't bring Thrasher's attacks onto myself. he hunted me to avoid risking my revenge in the future. YOU, on the other hand, brought my anger onto yourself. if you hadn't lied to me in the first place, or sent that Troodon as a spy, which, in case you dont notice, is standing right there, in front of you, i would not have come after you in the first place. what angered me was Your fault, not mine. as such, i see no reason to even consider that as a plausible reason, even if you were trying to save yourself.
Finally, i dont care whether you are killing the Raptors or trying to recruit them, it is still tresspassing in my territory, when you have already caused enough damage, and i will not have any more delays! leave now, and consider yourself lucky im actually giving you the chance, instead of just killing you for all the trouble you've caused!". Crusher was only getting more annoyed by the stalling of this Baryonyx. he noticed one of the Spinosaurs seemingly backing into the jungle, as if planning to leave the area, Crusher kept an eye on it through the corner of his eye, to make sure it wasn't trying anything. he felt that, if anything, it was probably going to inform it's leaders of what was happening, but he couldn't be too sure...
Meanwhile, Hunter noticed his family was feeling hungry. he told them all to stay inside the cave, and not to leave unless the cave was collapsing on top of them. he left, heading towards the game trail. on the way, however, he heard the roars of a Carnotaurus. he decided he'd check it out, since usually, very few predators were allowed to enter Crusher's territory, and none were allowed to make such a large amount of noise. it was likely a tresspasser who had managed to pass through Crusher's patrols. Hunter decided he'd find the source, and stay hidden, to find out more...
