The Elder watched silently, his gaze looking out across the ocean ahead of him, the Raptor perched on a large metallic protrusion extended from one of the buildings at the shore of this strange human land. beneath his feet, the harsh rusted metallic surface was broken up by patches of moss and lichen, which, against all odds, had begun to thrive on the structure with the rich, humid weather that now ruled this part of the world. Ripper watched the horizon over the ocean as the sun ascended inti the sky, it's silver and gold rays seeming to float like a layer of molten metal on the surface of the rolling waves before him. his mind drifted, for a few precious moments roaming free in the jungles he had known all his life....back on the island. the herds of herbivores of all shapes and sizes, moving from place to place in order to feed themselves, dragonflies buzzing past, snatching butterflies and other smaller insects in mid air, compies scurrying through the undergrowth, beneath exposed roots, around the feet of larger creatures, and over logs and stones in their way, constantly searching for scraps to feed off. his mind drifted through the old, overgrown, worn down corridors of the Lab Complex he had made his home...his whole family lay there. He was the last of that generation. the first born, and the last to die. as a flock of birds flew overhead, Ripper sighed, his mind oddly at peace. he sensed a change on the winds. smiling, the Elder Raptor turned, carefully descending the metallic pole towards the ground below...
Crusher turned to face the way he came, having crossed the bridge. the Rex made an amused grunt as he looked at his handiwork. across the bridge was a long swathe of destruction, vehicles crushed or casually knocked aside by the massive Tyrannosaur during his trek across the bridge. in recent times, every shred of amusement was precious. Crusher was a creature whose mind was programmed for survival. more so than most, if any. but even he felt the longing pain of homesickness. this was, regardless of past experiences, still an alien world to him. many of the benefits he gained by learning the details of the nature of his surroundings on Sorna, were lost to him in this new, artificial landscape. casting his thoughts aside, he continued onwards towards his family. with all the roaming he had done over the course of the previous days, he had decided that his current territory had the highest potential. though perhaps, in the following weeks, he'd move to force out the other residents of the territories surrounding his own. claiming the most heavily forested areas for himself and his family meant that they had a strong hold on the supply of prey in the area, as well as ample supplies of water. allowing other super predators to have a share of the territory's food supply, in exchange for preventing other predators from crossing their territory into Crusher's, would grant him similar benefits to what he had back home...and hopefully, it'd be the stepping stone towards securing a comfortable life for his family in this strange home...
as Fatalis neared, the Stegosaur came into view, feeding on the foliage, stripping the leaves off a nearby bush. Fatalis circled through the undergrowth until he was almost in front of the herbivore, before giving the signal to Pulsar to strike, charging, and leaping onto the herbivore's neck, a panicked groan coming from the herbivore as it backpedalled, shaking its head somewhat, it's tail flailing violently to prevent a strike from behind while it was destracted, Fatalis digging his claws deep into the herbivore's neck and shoulder as he kicked at it's throat in an attempt to slit it, hoping to cut off the herbivore's air supply...
Blade shot a wary glance at Aircrest, hissing "Not so loud" as quietly as he could while still letting the Raptor hear him...
