Isla Sorna Stories RPG

[The Kingpin]

Crusher followed Exile, Scar and Rawhide, and walked up toward the humans who were now trapped on the edge of a high, rocky cliff. he roared at them, and walked forward. he snarled back "Scar! keep back. i dont know whether this place can handle my weight. if it breaks, you'll be killed.". Scar kept back, and Crusher moved in. he reached the edge of the rocky area that had a base on the ground, and slammed his head on the outcrop, on which stood the helpless humans. the pound was so strong that the ground started to crack. Crusher stood on one leg, and threw his weight down on the other leg as it hit the rock, damaging it to the point where a compy would be enough to break it. he then stared at the humans with a piercing glare, sending shivers down their spines. he then turned around, which got a surprised look from Exile, Rawhide and even Scar. they hadn't anticipated what he'd do next. he walked away, and the humans started gaining confidence, and started moving closer to the safe area. as they tried that, Crusher swung his tail donw violently into the ground, smashing the last of the supporting rocks and causing the rocky ledge and the humans on it plummeting. Crusher made a satisfied grunt at the surprised looks on the faces of the 3 raptors in front of him, and continued walking forward, hearing several howls coming from a very familiar raptor. it was Darkness. Crusher hoped that he hadn't gone insane again........

[mega raptor]

Darkness's howls reached Scar quickly, and he let out a snarl. The raptor must have gone insane again, probably that familiar raptor bloodlust taking control of him. Ah, well. If Darkness became a threat again, Scar would have no problem killing him.

Then he switched his focus to the humans. He sniffed the air, long and deep, searching for any trace of their scent. Scar smelled something faint off in the distance, perhaps the vehicle that the humans had come to the island on. The others could smell it too, and Crusher was already heading towards the source...

[TyrannoTitan]

Darkness had killed many humans now. He was in total bloodlust. He darted and screeched at humans. They all dropped their weapons and ran. Then, Darkness saw something. It was Exile, Scar, and Rawhide. Darkness felt his legs start to move.He slashed at his legs to make them stop. He had only a tiny amount of sanity left. Darkness let out a screech toward the group. They looked at him. Then he could see Crusher. This was bad news. If he attacks them then Crusher will kill him on the spot, not knowing what is going on. Get away! screeched Daarkness to the group. They just stood there. Darkness just screeched and forced himself to run the other way. Darkness then continued on his killing spree.

[o-eternal-o]

Exile stared with bewilderment at Darkness as he screeched at them then ran away. It looked like he was turning again. "He shouldn't have come" Exile thought to herself. If he had stayed he might have been able to supress his bloodlust. She hoped he would be okay.

She noticed Scar and Rawhide had ran off, following Crusher. They could smell more humans. She raced after them, eager to satisfy her revenge further

[The Kingpin]

Crusher followed the scent, his nose leading him to the source of it. he knew from the scent that it was something large.....

[HorseGal]

Rawhide looked at Darkness in suprise, then started to run, following Scar, Exile, and Crusher to more humans. He smelled the air along with Crusher. Something big was coming this time.

[TyrannoTitan]

Darkness had to stop killing. There were only a few humans left that he could smell (hes far away from the others) He had been shot 2 times, both in non-lethal spots. Darkness ran around for only a short time after. I....have to return to the nest.... Darkness growled as he limped back to the nest. He finally reached it and saw the pack in an up-roar. Darkness told the sentries about the humans so they could protect the pack. He dare not tell the pack untill all is safe. He limped over to his corner and rested. He looked at his wounds, they were bleeding and stunted his walking. He was also glad he had kept his sanity. He knew that if the humans attack, he couldn't fight where the pack would. He might attack a member.Darkness finally fell into a state of peace but refused to sleep untill Scar,Exile,and Rawhide returned...

[The Kingpin]

Crusher followed the scent to a beach. "i know where this is leading....another large thing to take us away from the island. you 3 head back to the nest. i'll try and find a weak spot in their area and come to tell you how many we'll need to take them down...". he waited for a response.....

[mega raptor]

That sounds fine, Scar growled. He peered at the boat, remembering his long imprisonment trapped in a tiny cage. It was a fate that he would not wish on anyone, not even the old insane Darkness, now that he knew him. Funny that he had been the one to get Darkness captured in the first place. Turning to the others, he asked, Do either one of you want to stay with Crusher?

[o-eternal-o]

Exile peered up at the mighty Crusher. Inside, the fear of being re captured shook her to the very bone. But yet, she couldn't leave Crusher to fight alone. "I'll stay!" She barked

[HorseGal]

"I'll go with Scar," Rawhide answered.

Sharpclaw saw Darkness enter the cave and go back to his corner. He warned them about humans back on the island. She growled at the thought and stood up, more alert than before.

[The Kingpin]

Crusher nodded, then growled "then it's settled. let's go, Exile.". he turned back at the ship, had a last look, then started to plan his patrol route, while he waited for Exile to finish whatever she had to say to Rawhide or Scar...

[o-eternal-o]

"Alright" Exile hissed "I'll meet you back at the cave." She stood watching Scar and Rawhide as they disappeared heading back to the pack. Exile turned to face Crusher, who was already on his way. She raced after him and caught up with him. "What's the plan" She hissed

[The Kingpin]

Crusher growled "stealthy patrol. we'll go around the area of the beach covered by trees, to make sure that none of the humans spots us or hears us. we'll keep our eyes open for weakspots; anything like a less heavily defended part of the beach, or an area that hasn't got many humans guarding it.".

[mega raptor]

Meanwhile, Scar and Rawhide arrived back at the nest. The pack quited on their return, and they looked at Scar, obviously expecting an answer for the 4's disappearance. Avoiding their glances, Scar returned to Jade, and quietly whispered, We found a group of humans near here. The 4 of us helped Crusher destroy their camp, but they have a boat. Exile stayed behind to find a weak point with Crusher.

Scar let out an announcement to the pack. As you already know, Exile, Rawhide, Darkness and I have found a group of humans that have landed on the island. He heard several hisses from the group, and then continued, Together along with Crusher, we managed to trace the humans back to a boat, like the one that transported several of us to the mainland- Again, several hisses of anger-and so we're preparing an attack. Exile stayed behind to help Crusher find a weakspot, and when she gets back to us, I'll take a group to attack the humans.

The explanation seemed to quiet some of the group, and many returned to their own business, but one near the back stood up. It was too dark to see who, but Scar had a good guess. Walking to the back, he saw who it was: Shadow, his brother and one of 3 siblings. What is it that you want, brother? He cocked his head, looking Shadow stright in the eye.

Shadow returned the glare, and his regularly black skin flashed blue. When he spoke, his voice came slowly, almost sadly: Why, brother, I intend to challenge you for leadership of the pack before you lead us all off a cliff. Back down now, and I won't exile you once I defeat you.

[o-eternal-o]

Meanwhile, Exile and Crusher were still discussing the plan. Exile nodded in agreement with Crusher. It sounded like a sensible idea. "Let's go then" She hissed, and disappeared amongst the trees.

[The Kingpin]

after half an hour, Crusher had found 5 weakspots that could practically ruin the human encampment around the boat, and probably damage the boat itself severely. the first, was a patch of trees that spread from the forest towards the center of the human camp. the second was another patch, this one leading to something called a generator, which, thanks to a bit of observation by Crusher, was found to be the source of the human's energy in the camp. the 3rd was a large collection of what the humans called fuel barrels. Crusher had attacked one once, ramming a car into it, and caused it to explode. he knew that having those around could cause alot of damage to the humans. the best thing about that was that it was right next to the ship. if he could angle it right, he would likely be able to ruin the ship and the human's escape path off the island. the 4rth was a human tower that had seemingly been set up quickly. ramming it at the right angle would cause it to fall right into the center of the camp, causing alot of damage to anything near it. the last of the weaknesses was an area where the humans kept the "jeeps". if some raptors could collect in the right places, they'd be able to prevent the humans from getting to the jeeps, dooming them at the encampment. Crusher growled "Did you find anything, Exile?". Exile shook her head. "no. nothing other than the 5 we've plotted out". Crusher growled "nevermind. they are enough to ruin the humans. i'm sure we should be able to wipe them out with those. now, you should return to the cave, and inform Scar. i'm going to get my son ready to attack the encampment.". Exile nodded, and the 2 went their seperate ways. Crusher's nest was only a few hundred meters away from Scar's cave, so he would be able to meet up with them very soon...

[mega raptor]

Scar blinked, and cocked his head. He couldn't imagine his younger brother trying to challenge him. You want to challenge me? I was the fighter, you were the stealthy one.

Shadow looked back at him, hissed, and growled, Yes, you were the fighter. But you're out of practice, you haven't had a real fight in weeks. I've been in and out of the nest, tracking down targets to fight. You know, Crusher missed a lot of the mutant raptors when he tried to kill them. Not every one of them is that bad, really...

Now, the two were circling eachother, each waiting for the other to make the first move... You realise, don't you, Scar growled, That even if you do defeat me, the pack won't accept your leadership. They know me, they trust me. I'd like to see if they really would put the same faith in you.

Shadow snorted. Why do you think that I waited for the humans to return to make my move? With the humans being as big a threat as they are, they'll have to be lead by someone in order to survive. Believe me, I've been waiting a long time for them to return.

Evil, manipulative, power-hungry monster! Scar pounced, his toe claws aimed at Shadow's throat. The raptor leaped away, allowing Scar to slam into a wall. Dizzy, Scar hardly saw Shadow disappear deeper into the cave. Scar charged after Shadow, not caring that he was certainly leading him into a trap.

Even though he had excellent night vision, Scar wouldn't be able to see in this light for a few minutes while his eyes adjusted to the low light. But Shadow would, he had always been a stealthy, nocturnal raptor. Scar knew that he wouldn't be able to draw Shadow back out into the open, in here he had the advantage and if Scar left, he'd certainly have the patience to wait for him to come back in.

But Shadow certainly would stick out in the darkness if Scar could get him to stick out in the dark, like when he changed colors when his emotions grew strong. If he could make Shadow angry, then he'd have a fighting chance. Quickly, Scar racked his brain for any memory that he could use against him. He came up with 3 things: the death of his mate at the jaws of the mutant Gigonotosaurus, the sister that had abandoned him in the confusion after the death of their parents, and his complete incompetence with every other form of hunting except stealth.

Cautiously, Scar pushed forward deeper into the cave, trying to see if he could smell Shadow. But he could only hear the echoes of Shadow's walking somewhere near him. So Shadow, Scar growled, If you do win, how can you be sure that the pack won't abandon you and follow me-just like your sister abandoned you when all the adults of our pack were killed in that stampede?

Hmm. Shadow's voice sounded amused, like he had expected this. You do realise, don't you, that my sister is yours, too. She abandoned you too. You'll need to try something better than that, brother. Scar heard another growl, and there was a faint splash, too. Shadow had probably accidentally wondered into some water that had pooled down here. If Scar could find that water, than that would be a dead ringer to where Shadow was hiding.

He starting searching, and soon growled in frustration. Scar returned to his old tactic. I doubt that the pack will accept a leader that can barely hunt in the open. I stayed in power partly becuase I could help bring food to the pack, if you're going to hunt only at night, when all the normal prey is hidden away...

Once again, nice try brother. Shadow's voice came from nearer this time, and sounded a little angrier. Maybe the last one would reveal Shadow long enough to attack... But you see, the night on this island is alive with prey if you're smart enough to find it. Even the seemingly barren caves are filled with some good food, if you're patient enough.

Again, Scar growled. Had Shadow expected him to do this? It would have to wait until after he won, for now, he would have to try the final verbal assault. Shadow, have you forgotten your mate? You were unable to protect her from the Giganotosaur, so how can you expect to protect and lead an entire pack?

Scar, you're too predictable. I lost Slasher becuase you lead us in the wrong direction and were unable to protect us from the Giganotosaur. It is not I who will fail, it is you who will fail. And you I assure you, you will fail. Sooner than you realise. This was not something that I wanted to do, but it is time that someone else take control.

Suddenly, before Scar could come up with a retort or a new plan, he felt something slam into him from the left, and before he knew it, he was on the floor with Shadow looking down at him. Things seemed to move slowly, as if in a dream. Shadow flashed a sorry blue, perhaps there was some truth to his words that he did not want to do this. Then he saw the claw moved down towards his throat, and before Scar could react, it was there. It rested there for a second, before he heard the words he had dreaded for so many years: You lose.

Scar felt the claw be released, and he stood up, gave a last look at Shadow, and started running. He ran left the inner caves, past the nesting caverns, not even stopping to glance at his mate or to notice the returning Exile. Then he was out, running into the forest. Somewhere he could hear Crusher, and for a second, considered going to his nest. Then he pushed it from his mind, his pride was too wounded to take the refuge and charity of the Tyrannosaur. It would be more humiliating then he could bear.

As Scar ran, he noticed that he was wounded: several slashes on his side and two on his legs, probably from when Shadow jumped him. Quickly, he formulated a plan. He knew a place where he could run, a safe place that no one knew about. He could go there, stay for a few days while he considered how-if at all-to retake leadership of the pack, or perhaps to find a new one.

[TyrannoTitan]

Darkness saw Shadow return and not Scar. At that moment, all sanity was lost. Darkness howled loudly at the returning raptor. Where is Scar? Darkness snarled to the raptor. Gone. Shadow simply growled. At this Darkness ran toward the raptor. Shadow branced for attack but just then,Darkness disapeared. You think you can defend yourself from me? HA! Scar was a match for you.As you said, he hasn't had a good fight in weeks.... Darkness growled from nowhere. Shadow looked around desperately. you basically cheated to gain your right as leader. You don't derserve it... Darkness grolwed. Just then Darkness jumped from above and landed in front of Shadow. You may a good fighter....but a shadow is only part of the darkness... Darkness growled. Just then Darkness slashed Shadow on the side several times. Shadow was dazed and Darkness took this chance to kick the raptor in his chest. Shadow screeched and slashed at Darkness.But he was to slow. Darkness slammed into the raptor's side,sending him falling to the ground. Dakrness walked over to the fallen raptor. You lose he growled as he slashed Shadow across the face. Shadow screeched agian and rose to his feet slowly. He looked around for Darkness but he was too late. Darkness had disapeared into the jungle. Darkness now followed the faint scent of Scar as he pursued his former enemy...

[mega raptor]

Scar soon stopped to get a drink. He came to a creek and slowly drank, while trying to get a sense of his location. If his best guess was correct, he was about another 5 miles from the gorge-he'd get there by the end of the night. Then he heard the sound of a pursuer, perhaps Shadow had come to finish him. Even if it was just a raptor come to see ask him what had happened, it would be best if he hid until he was certain they didn't want to harm him.

Scar jumped into a tree, carefully balancing on the branch. Soon the raptor emerged from the jungle, and Scar quickly recognized the raptor as Darkness. He could also smell blood-raptor blood. Either the humans had hurt him, or he had fought another raptor. Probably Shadow.

Scar leaped down, landing behind Darkness. You attacked Shadow, didn't you? he hissed. Darkness opened his mouth to say something, but Scar continued, It doesn't matter what you say. I know you attacked him. This is a family fued, and that's what it will be settled by-family. Leave Shadow alone, I'll deal with him when I'm ready. Tell the others the same thing.

He leaped up and kicked Darkness in the head, knocking him uncounciouss. Scar had no intention of allowing this raptor to following him. His body wasn't the only thing hurt, and what he needed right now was some time to brood and heal. Scar ran off, being sure to run through the creek this time to disguise his scent...
