A little later, Steeltalon came out of her cave and ventured into the trees. Crusher's roar had been from far away and half an hour ago. If he wanted to, he'd be here by now. She sighed and decided to go hunt a Para. The Compy had been like a snack.

She walked to the Game Trail, looking for a young target. She saw one, but on open ground. It would be a dash for a meal, but if her plan worked she'd have fresh meat.

She circled around to the back of her target and got as close as she could. The wind was in her favor...and she leapt onto the back of the Para. She bit it's throat, slowly suffocating it.

After a while, it sank to it's knees. Shortly after that, it collapsed onto it's side and breathed it's last. Steeltalon dragged the carcass to the mouth of the cave and bit into it, savoring the taste of it's blood.

[TyrantTR]

Diablo was eager for a chance to show off. He had almost matched Crusher's speed as he ran out into the clearing. It only took a few seconds to get to the Para. "Right. Dodge and bite, how does it go again?" He asked.

[The Kingpin]

Crusher pinned the Para under his foot, and growled "You move yourself backwards using your leg, and then lunge forward quickly and bite down on a leg or other vital body part". he then lifted it up from the spine again, and waited for Diablo to make the hit...

Fatalis arrived in Steeltalon's territory, at a cave, and sniffed around for signs of where she was. only her scent was there. Clawfist's pack muste've left. she probably decided the life of a Lone Wolf was better, and stayed behind. it seemed she had recently left. jusding by the scent, towards the Game Trail. Fatalis heard a familiar Rex roar coming from there earlier. if Crusher was actually there, then both Steeltalon and Fatalis were safe. he rushed after the scent to try and catch up to Steeltalon before the other raptors do...

[Doc 42]

Sandstorm returned to the pack and growled "A rex thats probobley Crusher and a carnotaour."
Soft foot thought then she hissed "Well go staright on but quietly" The rex was death incarnate, while the carno, they could probobley take him down, but not without causuilties.

[Hopeflower]

Steeltalon bit down on a bone, hearing it crack. She wrenched her head to one side to break it. She was still listening hard to the forest behind her, just not as hard.

She could see Crusher in the distance, along with a carnotaur she didn't know.

She turned her head to look into the trees, thinking she heard something behind her.

[TyrantTR]

Diablo was about to do so, but then swiftly turned his head to the trees with a hiss. "Someone is their." he said turning his body to the trees. He saw a small body move back towards the thicker forest. (Sandstorm) Diablo turned invisible, but he didn't move yet. He waited for Crusher to tell him to stay or go.

[Hopeflower]

Steeltalon waited patiently for whoever was behind her to reveal themselves. She narrowed her eyes and stared hard at the trees for a minute before turning back to her kill. Steeltalon gripped a strip of meat in her teeth and pulled back. It came away after a fierce tug and she swallowed it.

"I wonder how much of this I could take back," she muttered. She gripped the Para's throat in her jaws and started dragging the body toward the cave.

[The Kingpin]

Crusher, still holding on to the Para's back, stared at the area for a couple of moments, then grunted "Leave it". he put the Para down, adn growled "They look like Raptors from what i can see. they aren't worth the trouble. if you want to chase them down, it's your choice. this is your territory now. but they wont dare do anymore that walk around. they'd be foolish to attack us, and foolish to stay here, since this is technically still my territory. now, let's continue with the lesson. i have other things to attend to soon and i need to finish this lesson. later i'll teach you more, but for now, i'll only teach you 2 more things". his leg was holding down the struggling, terrified Para. he bit it by the back with a constrictor bite, temporarily paralyzing it, and lifting it up. he then grunted "Practice"...

Fatalis tore through the forest at breakneck speed, and soon came to a clearing where he saw Steeltalon killing a Para. as he neared her, he barked "Steeltalon!". as he reached, he skidded to a halt, panting. he hissed "We have a problem. a pack of mutants want you dead, and me and a couple of my friends as well"...

[Hopeflower]

Steeltalon whipped around, surprised. "What?" she barked. "How many are there?"

She glanced at her kill and decided to leave it here. "And more importantly, why do they want us dead?" She looked up and saw a flash of fear in Fatalis' eyes. She wondered what the pack had said.

[The Kingpin]

Fatalis hissed "You because you killed Night, who they see as a key to killing me and my friends. I, and my 2 friends, Exile and Blade, were part of their pack many years ago. but back then, they were normal. Thrasher, the most dominant predator at the time, attacked us, and the pack split up, half of them being killed by the Spinosaur while the other half managed to escape. most of the pack scattered, me, Exile and Blade among them. but, they recollected, and decided that my childhood games with Exile and Blade were the cause of the attack, and have wanted to kill us ever since. they knew of the polluted lake, and decided their lives weren't worth anything anymore, and drank from it. Night was apparently an ally to them, which was killed by you, and so, they now want you dead as well...". memories of the horrible day of the attack flooded into his mind, and he closed his eyes for a fe seconds to clear his mind. when he had recovered, he opened them again, and looked at Steeltalon, wondering how she would respond...

[Hopeflower]

Steeltalon blinked, slowly. "What we need," she growled softly. "Are allies we can depend on with our lives. Do you think that Exile and Blade would agree to help us?"

She carefully studied the trees around them as she spoke, half expecting the mutants to come rushing out at them right then and there. "If they won't help...this might be a bit of a stretch...maybe we could ask Crusher. Something tells me that not even he will keep them from attacking us, but maybe he could help us fight." She took a deep breath before adding, "We're not going to get out of this without a fight. That much I know. And I guess you want to know about Night and Riptide?"

[The Kingpin]

Fatalis hissed "Information about Night and Rptide will definately be useful, yes. Exile and Blade will help us. they are in as much trouble as you and i are, and from what i gather, they now have a family to protect, so they'll be extra careful. Crusher might help, though his family has seen alot of problems in the past. so many predators envy him that he's almost constantly being attacked for territorial duels. it's one of the reasons he's so much more powerful than other predators his size. he's been constantly fighting all his life. he knows just about every skill there is, and wouldn't hesitate to use them on any threat to him, his friends or his family. i just hope we can get to them before these raptors get to us. i may be skilled enough to evade them, but eventually, they'll learn about my tactics and my way of evading them, and then i will have to fight". Fatalis wasn't afraid of a fight. he was afraid of having to kill one of his previous friends. friends he cared for dearly. ones that grew up with him, ones that raised him from a hatchling. he didn't want to have to kill them...

[TyrantTR]

"Alright..." Diablo said turning back to normal. He seemed distracted at the pack of raptors. Diablo let out a threatening growl before turning back to the training. He preformed the dodge, and bit the Para at the leg. Diablo twisted a bit if that wouldn't kill it.

[The Kingpin]

Crusher watched him, and was happy at the execution of the move. it wasn't perfect, but it was satisfactory. he then put down the Para and growled "Now, i'll show you how to paralyze an enemy. this is useful for pack attacks on speedy enemies. watch me carefully". he then bit onto the struggling Para's neck near the base, being as gentle as he could to avoid cutting it's skin, but still disable it. the bite paralyzed the Para without a singly drop of blood being spilt. the Para's legs suddenly fell limp and Crusher grunted "is it dead?". it seemed so, and Diablo watched for a moment, then shhok his head. Crusher then released the Para's neck, and it's body started struggling again, pinned down by Crusher's foot. he growled "Understand now?"...

[TyrantTR]

"Slightly," Diablo remarked intriuged at what just happened. "I still don't get it."

[The Kingpin]

Crusher growled "You bite the neck of your opponent, and slowly tighten, until the target is completely paralyzed"...

[Hopeflower]

Steeltalon sighed. "Well, that may be fine for you, but I'm not so sure about me. I mean look at me." She allowed her gaze to travel along her black and white striped flank. "How long could I go without them noticing me?" She sighed again. She flinched away from the thought of staying here and waiting for them to find her. "I think we should find Exile and Blade first, to warn them. Then we go to find Crusher. He won't trust me alone...since I am a...a mutant." She flinched as the word rolled off her tongue. She took a steadying breath. This was all too like the day her pack was killed. "Whenever you're ready. I'll come with you. I'm not going to stay here and wait for these abominations to find me."

Steeltalon turned her gaze to the treetops. Night may be dead, but I'm in more danger than I was with him around. I had no idea he had allies apart from Riptide. Maybe I should tell Fatalis as much as I know...

"As for information about Night, you should probably know how much I know about him and Riptide. Those mutants may be remnants of their old pack, but I'm not sure. Maybe they are just his allies. My mother, Jade, told me much about Riptide's pack. She said they considered themselves better than other raptors, even though their pack was only thirteen strong. You know about Night-- black with a white scar. But you don't know about Riptide... my mother said he was black, ice-blue eyes. Riptide was the leader of a pack of mutants, Night was his second in command. When they heard about my family, they...well, Night told me he knew nothing of the attack, but I don't know if he was lying or not. They attacked my family." Steeltalon shuddered at the memories. "My brother, Tigerstripe, was the first to go down. Riptide killed him. Then Jade. When they finished killing my father, they turned on me. Riptide slashed my side, nearly killing me." She turned her head to stare at the long gray scar on her right flank. "Night came with his pack and tried to kill me just days after I had recovered. Riptide wasn't with him. I think he was dead by then. I ran, like a coward. I thought if I ran and hid from my family's killers, I could shed my roblems forever. I was wrong. Night hunted me down, in almost this exact spot. I ran again, into Crusher's territory, stopping by the river where we met. You pretty much know the rest. The only other thing I remember is the pack's names. Amberclaw, she had really strange golden-brown claws. Nightmare, a raptor with a reddish-brown back and gray underside, separated by a white stripe. Whiplash, he's gray with a white scar going down his face. Deadmoon, she was...brown and black. Jaggedclaw, she's pure black with one broken killing toe. Leafwind, a true killer. Bright green with yellow eyes. Shadowsoul, he was as gray as ash, with eyes as red as the sunset. Darkheart, she was black with a single white line down her chest. Seagaze, she was unusual. She was pure white with sea-green eyes. Clawface, a solid brown male. Brokentail, also a brown male. And the last, Red Death. He was red all over, save for the black quills." Steeltalon shivered just saying the names.

[HorseGal]

Exile left with the remaining pack members as soon as they were done eating their fill with SharpClaw following closing behind Exile, wishing to have a conversation with her. She moved up more to the front, starting to have a conversation with the alpha female raptor.

They all returned to the safe haven of their cave to find everything running as it should. Exile left to join Blade at their nest while SharpClaw went to join Rawhide and her son. She looked down at her hatchling, letting what looked like a raptor smile slip from her. He was so cute, curled up and sleeping soundly. There was a trace of blood along the jaws of the little predator.

"He's going to grow up to be a fine hunter in the pack," declared Rawhide.

SharpClaw just nodded silently and continued to observe her young one...

[Stallordasaurus Rex]

" i'm bored..." Shadow prowled the plains watching the day go by.He saw apatosaurs eating the Trees,Triceratops drinking from the lake,and parasaurs running across the plains "this place is full of life..."Shadow continued onhis way through the grassy plains.

[TyrannoTitan]

I guess the enviroment will survive.....I forgot about the Irritators. growled Fury. Even though he knew the Raptor was there, he didn't look at it untill after he finished. This raptor reminded him of Darkness.

When he saw it leave, he relaxed. He saw Ysera do the same. She was obviously worried about the young ones. Hows the rest of the group? Any word from Scar? Sharpclaw? Any of the raptors? growled Fury.
