The next day, Crusher woke up to the sound of strange things flying overhead. it sounded like a really big gallis running, strange beating sounds coming from them. he got up and looked at them. he followed them, but they moved too fast, and were soon out of sight and earshot. they were heading for the game trail.
The massive flying creatures were nearly his size, so he didn't want to chase them at high speed, fearing they may attack him. he had seen these things only once before, 20 years ago, when he was only 2 years old and Hunter's size. he remembered strange creatures coming out and chasing herbivores. he expected the same would happen this time. he followed to the game trail. sure enough, the strange creatures and the creatures they were riding [cars, but he doesn't know what they're called] were chasing herbivores down the game trail. he decided to avoid them as he watched them catch a full grown bull Para. he turned to the forest to look for a safer meal.
Crusher soon found his meal, in the form of a stegosaur herd. they seemed defensive, as though they had been attacked by something, but he couldn't smell or hear or see any possible attacker, though the scent of the strange creatures still filled his nostrils. he noticed the hatchlings and juveniles in the center, and the adults on the outside. he saw an elderly stego on the edge. it also seemed sick, it's head hanging lower than the others, and it's walking slower and almost stressed, as though it were carrying some heavy load on it's back. Crusher waited in the plants, his dark grey and black skin getting a green tint under the trees of the jungle that, despite his size, made him almost invisible in the thick plantation. he waited until the Stego was a few feet from him, it's neck right infront of him, before charging forward, lowering his head, and ramming the stego, making it lose balance and fall on its right hind leg, the weight of it's body breaking it. Crusher came to it and bit on it's tiny neck, killing it. he then turned to the other stegos and let out a growl, warning them to leave. they left, flailing their tails around out of instinct. they left, and Crusher looked around, making sure there weren't any rivals that may attempt to challenge him.
Soon after checking the area through vision, smell and hearing, Crusher made a subsonic rumble, which Rampage heard and followed. Hunter was still asleep, so there wasn't much he could get himself into. she went to Crusher, and ate her breakfast with him, soon skelatonizing the Stego. when they returned, everything was still normal. Crusher could smell those strange creatures' scent near the nest, and went around to make sure his territory was clear.
After making sure his territory was clear, he turned back to the nest...
