Isla Sorna Stories RPG

[The Kingpin]

Fatalis shook his head. Steeltalon wasn't understanding the fact that raptors which didn't have a routine wouldn't go to the same place twice unless they had no other choice. he barked "Look, brothers. the Ultraraptors are not going to be as easy to take out as a normal pack. not only are they especially powerful and capable mutants, because they were exceptional raptors to start with, but they also use similar tactics to our own. it's like facing a pack of Lone Wolves. they, like us, have no routine. we dont go on specific routes around the island. we roam. as such, our only answer is to wait for them to find us. until then, we'll need to move in pairs. that way, we have a better chance of marking them and surviving an attack. for stealth reasons, i dont think they'll move in groups over 5. the main pack probably roam, and tell the attack group where to meet them after they're job has been done. if we manage to wound one, it'll leave a stronger scent. the blood will double the scent of the mutants and will help lead us straight to them. the problem is, when we find them, how will we attack them. we could surround them, but what if they already know we're behind them, and counter us? we could end up in a very dangerous situation. the sentries would be good against the Megaraptors, because they're bigger, and have a tendency to move in packs of 3 to 5, and have set territories. my expectations are that, if we successfully attack the mutants and hurt them, they'll seek the help of the Mega Raptors, and move between their territories, limiting their movement to a more predictable pattern, which will let us use them to our advantage, and take them out with less risk to ourselves. managing to capture a mutant would also be useful. that way, i can question them for more information, and use that information to find out what they want, why they want to kill us, what the use of Night was, and what pattern they may have". one of the Lone Wolves, Needle, hissed "I dont trust that female you brought here, Fatalis. she'll only cause trouble!". Fatalis barked "She's a good ally, a good friend, and a very safe companion to travel with. she may be our key to finding out where the Ultraraptors' weaknesses are". Needle snarled "Why dont we just kill her and se what hurts her the most?! then we'd know how to hurt the mutants!!!". Fatalis barked "You'd have my claws jutting out of your skull if you tried it, Needle". Saberclaw barked "ENOUGH! she has shown us no reason to distrust her. let's not show her any reason to do so, either! she's one of us now, and those of you who dont like that choice, aren't one of us. you should leave and find yourselves a pack to live in that's prejudiced and doesn't like mutants, as that is obviously where you belong. most of us are outcasts ourselves! Me, Fatalis and Goldfang for example! we have feather quills on the top of our heads, like mutants. we have unusual colours, like mutants. we're more skilled than normal raptors, like mutants! most of the Lone Wolves are like that! and you say you cant trust a mutant?! you'r a mutant yourself! can you trust yourself?! can you? if you can, you can trust Steeltalon!". Saberclaw looked at Fatalis, who responded with a nod of thanks. Saberclaw barked "Look. as long as these Ultraraptors are on the loose, we're ALL in danger. if we dont work together, we will be the ones to be killed off, not them. do you want to die at the claws of a bunch of raptors who are driven by unfounded and unneeded bloodlust?!". the Lone Wovles all snarled a NO in unison. Saberclaw barked "Well, in that case, stop fighting with eachother over a mutant among us and help save yourselves from these attackers! We need to solve this problem, and until we work together, we wont be able to survive the attacks these Ultraraptors make. understood?!". the Lone Wolves nodded, and then fell silent, waiting the commands of Saberclaw, Fatalis and Goldfang. Fatalis wondered where Steeltalon was going. he hoped she was ok. alone, she was at risk of attack by jsut about anything...

[Doc 42]

Softfoot smiled and then barked out in a creul voice "You cant trust Steeltalon. She is honest, she is strong and she is angry. You could trust her with your freindship but not with your life. She was in our pack temporarily before she came here, she had constant fits of anger, in which she would run off on her own. Eventually she cracked going crazy and ran off into the jungle without warning. Despite that, she is freind, or used to be. trying to kill her would be a huge mistake, but so would trusting her with anything important.
We are going home, call of us if you need a few extra fighters. Fatalis knows where we live."
Softfoot and Sandstorm turned to leave and Sandstorm called back "Oh and brother! dont make the mistake of mercy, or the lot of you will die."

[Hopeflower]

Steeltalon rested by the stream in her home, which she had reached just minutes ago. She was content. She had eaten her fill of the remains of the Para, and then come here to rest and think things through. So the Lone Wolves didn't trust her. Big deal. Softfoot and Sandstorm didn't trust her. Whoopie. Steeltalon shook her head to get rid of the clinging memories. Softfoot didn't understand that she was completely sane, just under pressure to survive.

"So no one trusts me because of my birth..." she mused softly. "No one trusts me because my father was a mutant. No one trusts me because I can't control my anger. Not even Fatalis, probably. It's not a problem. Here, I can avoid them. Even the mutants that want me dead." Steeltalon shivered. "My father...couldn't control his anger either. But I'm not like them. I..." she cut herself off and ducked into the caves.

[Stallordasaurus Rex]

Shadow And Yasha find Dilon Yelling his lungs out.Yasha calls to him.

Dilon hears her and runs toward them. "Mama! Daddy!"

Shadow and Yasha nuzzled him. Yasha growled "I'm just glad your ok..." Yasha nuzzles Dilon back towards the nest. Yasha looks at Shadow "Are you coming?" Shadow looks at her "I'll Just scout the territory" Yasha growls "good" Yasha and DIlon head back to the nest. Shadow walks away

[chook151]

stygmas pack rumbled into the territory, they smelt tyrranosaurs, acrocanthosaurs, and spinosaurs, stygma informed the pack to stay alert, suddenly, they heard a roar, and looked ahead, it seemed like a giganotosaur fighting with a giganotosaur,"arnt giganotosaurs suppost to be pack hunters?" he growled, physclaw growled. "lets get out of here before they spot us." and they headed to the jungle...

Goldfang ran to Steeltalon. He gave an serious bark to get her attention. "Steeltalon! I never said I did not respect you for who you were. I do respect you, you and Fatalis. You are both at this moment loyal companions to me. I don't care what sort of problems you have, I can understand that, I had those sort of things in my pack. I knew your father. He may have seemed a mad raptor (as in a madman) but he was an extremely good ally. Always got me out of sticky situations. You have the spirit of him inside of you Steeltalon. Don't you forget that." He growled before walking back to the group...

[Hopeflower]

Steeltalon looked up, shocked. "You knew my father...?" she murmured. "I thought he died when Riptide's pack attacked. I thought...he died protecting my mother. Apparently, someone lied." She stood and blinked in the increasingly bright sunlight. She started sprinting in the direction Goldfang had taken. It didn't matter if no one else trusted her, as long as someone did.

[Legendary Elite]

"I don't know, but know that both your mother and father were friends to me and my pack. They died against the raptors. This takes me back a while. When my pack and I were out hunting, several of my scout members came to warn me of a Tyrannosaur headed their way by the name of Crasher. We had brought Tyrannosaurs before, we wondered how hard this one could be. We did fear Tyrannosaurs once but then once we took one down, we were confident that we could bit Crasher. Crasher had attacked us once before but only because he ambushed us. We were prepared this time. However, Crasher was ready, we met him on the plains. He charged at us. He then let out a mighty roar and within seconds, raptors, one by the name of Riptide especially, ran out and overwhelmed us. We all fell back to the trees. Not only that, but group of Acrocanthosaurs chased us too, they had sided with Crasher. My pack was beaten, they were able to fight back most of the raptors. But when Crasher came with Riptide, he was too strong for us. Crasher was an enormous tyrannosaur, extremely ruthless and brutal. Possibly the meanest i have ever seen on the island. His eyes were black, like death itself. Riptide lead the raptors and defeated mine. We fled in ranks and fell back to our nests. Here your mother and father along with 10 other raptors who were my strongest warriors tried to hold the line. Riptide's raptors were brought down. However, your mother and father were captured by Riptide. I tried my best to save them but I was too busy with the raptors. I could not reach them in time. When Riptide's pack had been finished up, some of our eggs had gone missing. Oviraptors went through and had taken the eggs to Crasher. We were angry, we charged into Crasher's territory and took out his last line of defense including the Acrocanthosaurs. Riptide was busy torturing your parents Steeltalon, it was for Crasher's pleasurement. I then leapt up on Riptide and gave huge whiplash mark across his back and ripped open the side of his left leg. Riptide fled with blood trailing behind him like the coward he was. The surviving pack along with me and your parents returned to our nests. The rest of the eggs that were stolen were never found. Suddenly Crasher stormed into our nests without warning. The remaining members fought bravely and sacrificed themselves to save the nests, our nests. They told me to take your egg as you were the last one of their eggs remaining. All the other raptors who had eggs were dead. All the other eggs were smashed except yours. I grabbed you and ran out of the nest as fast as i could. I know that there was nothing I could've done, Crasher would've killed me either way. He had smashed every egg. There would've nothing worth fighting for. I heard your parents scream as they killed by Riptide who i saw and killed them ruthlessly. Crasher could not find me as much as he wanted to, he sent his minions after me but i kept on hiding. And so I found a nice hiding spot for the egg until you hatched. Since then I have seen you grow up as a hatchling. I kept most trouble off your back as best i could Steeltalon. But at one point, the humans captured me. I was trapped in their cage. I saw you freeing several other raptors. I tried calling to you but you could not hear me. After what happened on the ship, I found myself back on this island and went searching for you. I lost sight of you and then the Ultra Raptors came after me, since then I have been running from them. I noticed that by the time your reached this age, I saw you were able to defend yourself." He said...

Larius went off for a walk in the afternoon, he sniffed the sky. Something was not right. He knew it, there was something ferocious and terrifying out there. He suddenly felt danger at the nest and returned to see the rest of the pack asleep, the small dinosaurs that were scavenging before were gone. He saw why, Ultra Raptors were closing in very quietly. He was suprised they were able to walk without making much of a sound. He roared at the Ultra Raptors which jumped in suprise and he went and fought them off. "STAY AWAY FROM MY PACK!!!!!" He roared. This woke the others up who began snapping at the Ultra Raptors. The Ultra Raptors were scared but tried to take down Larius. They were no match for him especially when they came from the front. The ones that ran beneath him he squashed with his feet. Some ran around him to surround him. One leapt from the front only to be caught in his jaws. The second one came at him from the front which he rammed aside, sending it tumbling into a tree, killing it. The ones that came from behind he knocked away with his tail, sending them into the dirt. One leapt on his back but then Larius tilted his read around and caught it by the head and threw him over, slamming it into the ground. The 2 that hit the dirt he turned to and roared at once more, they scrambled up onto their feet and fled in fear. He carried the remaining corpses over. The pack settled down and rested once more...

[Hopeflower]

Steeltalon's eyes widened. "Was my mother like what everyone described?" she asked Goldfang. "Pale green with light blue eyes? I know her name was Jade, but that's all. I never...really knew her or my father. I knew my brother though. His name was Tigerstripe. Blue with white stripes and black quills." She hesitated. "Did you see him when Crasher attacked? Was he killed?" This was more of her past than she figured out herself. Steeltalon blinked. She knew this was a chance to learn more about her mother, father and brother, even if they were dead.

[Doc 42]

Sandstorm growled to Softfoot, uhh your going the wrong way.
She hissed back We arnt going home, we are going to the caves. Steeltalon never told us the whole truth and now that she is aalive and well, I want it out of her.
Sandstorm didnt argue and they changed direction and headed for Steeltalons cave.

[Legendary Elite]

Goldfang realized who they were then. "Yes...that was them, your brother Tigerstripe was assisting in the attack against Crasher. He too was killed by Riptide. Your parents were great warriors. They were friends of mine. Your father, Mightytalon was always helping me out. Sometimes he did throw fits at us but he was an excellant fighter nonetheless. Jade your mother was as good as your father, she fought the enemy up front. She was friendly to me. Tigerstripe, he was mostly quiet a lot of the time but was excellant at ambushing. He was the best scout i had ever seen..." he said. "I'm sorry..." He barked sadly.

[Hopeflower]

Steeltalon inclined her head toward him. "It's okay," she barked. "It wasn't your fault. At least I have some part of my past I can be proud of." She dipped her head in gratitude. "Thank you. I must return to my home now." She stopped walking and watched him go until she couldn't see him, then returned to her home. She tensed her shoulders, getting the feeling that someone else was coming. And they weren't going to be as nice as Goldfang when it came to wanting or giving information.

[Legendary Elite]

Goldfang nodded and returned back to the Lone Wolves. He thought that it was better to wait before making another suggestion. It was too difficult right now...

[Hopeflower]

Steeltalon rested her head on a ledge in the caves, taking in her past and what she recalled. It just didn't add up. If she had been a egg when Riptide's pack attacked, how did she get a scar on her side? How had she known her mother and father's love? How had she known her brother's name? Steeltalon scowled darkly. It doesn't make sense, she thought in confusion. She turned her head to stare at the scar on her right flank. How could Goldfang have ever figured out more of my past than I myself know? He barely knows me...and yet...there's something about him that really makes me uneasy. Something in his eyes. I can't tell why, but I think he might betray us all. For now, he's the same as the rest of us. But what about later? What if Riptide's death was just one of the lies I was fed? What if he's still alive? I'll have to trust Goldfang though. He hasn't given me any reason to distrust him, and never showed me anything but friendship since we first met. Yes, I trust him as a friend...but in a life and death struggle, I can't trust him with my life. Not yet anyway.

[Legendary Elite]

Goldfang knew his story was the truth, he would never lie unless it were for the best reason and this story was no lie. Though Steeltalon's mother and father were not members of his pack, they were there to help out. They were never members and neither did he lead them. He knew that though he had injured Riptide, he had not killed him. He had no idea of Riptide's whereabouts but he knew if he ever met him again, he would kill him personally. He was no longer in the need to flee now. Steeltalon he knew was able to protect herself from almost any danger. Still, right now the main focus was the Ultra Raptors. They needed to think of something and soon. The sunlight from the meaning beamed down on him, giving his look a bright golden. If humans saw him look like this they would've considered him what they called an "angel" some sort of holy creature. He hurried back to the Lone Wolves. As he was running to them, he saw something strange and stopped abruptly. He noticed traces of trampled grass nearby and sniffed it. He saw more trampled grass and sniffed that. It was his trail but the other one smelt much different to his. Checking again he sniffed it. This was not the scent of a herbivore of any sort, neither a small carnivore. This was something large, not like a big carnivore like Allosaurus or Carnotaurus or anything larger but something larger than him. And then he realized this was the trail of a raptor, but not any raptors he knew, Utahraptors were quiet and extremely stealthy hunters but this was not their scent he picked up. He checked around and saw more trampled grass and more of the same scent. There must've been over 20 of these things moving and they were headed in the direction of the lone wolves meeting area. Fear began to strike him. He checked around the area to find the scouts, for some reason they were no where in sight. He continued searching, the same strange scent reaching his nostrils. He reached another clearing where a scout was supposedly on patrol and saw something very disturbing. The scouts lay there dead, all of them. Goldfang ran over, they had deep wounds in their necks, this attack had been swift and without warning. The scent was even stronger now. He realized these were attacks from the Ultra Raptors. That must've meant that they were not far from closing in on the lone wolves! In alarm he ran through the forest back to the meeting, he knew he could not warn Steeltalon as she was too far away, it was lucky if they had not seen her. They must've passed him too and came from another direction, the North! He realized the scent grew stronger. He continued running and found himself at what was a cave. He saw Ultra Raptors in the clearing gathering there. There was over 40 of them. He shuddered at the thought of more than 40 of them. They were walking into the cave. "The scouts have been killed. We have sent in 30 of our Ultras in to take down the Lone Wolves. Once they are gone, we will go after Crusher." Hissed one raptor to another who was different than the others. Goldfang could not tell who it was but he knew that it had to be their leader. "Excellant, Crusher will be no match for us and be overwhelmed by us. Then we will be the dominate predators on this island!" Hissed the leader evilly. "How has the scout groups been doing?" He asked. "Sir, most of our raptors have been doing good except for the few that have been running back here. They have stated that there exists an enormous Giganotosaur out there on Sauropod Grounds with a pack of 5 and have a nest there. Most of our assassins were eaten alive. None of them could lay a scratch on him. The giga seems to know however, Crusher the tyrannosaur that-" his voice was interuppted by a screech from the leader. "Don't ever say it! I know already, I know he slayed Smasher. He gave us good land to breed on! Now that Smasher is dead, we are going to kill him. With the help from Crasher we'll overthrow the Velociraptors, Deinonychus and Utahraptors including any other carnivores that try to stop us! Who cares about some gigantic giga? We'll worry about him later now get the rest of our troops prepared!" he barked angrily.

This was bad, Goldfang ran out of the cave quietly without being noticed. He was good at running without making a sound. He fled back to the meeting as fast as possible. If he did not make it in time, it would be too late. Steeltalon may have to be warned later. He noticed that from not far off, he saw Ultra Raptors headed for the meeting. He needed to outrun them and started by leaping from tree branches by climbing on one. He saw that he was getting closer and closer and burst out of the nearest tree and did a forward roll into the meeting. A little dazed but fine nonetheless. The other Lone Wolves were startled by Goldfang. He began barking loudly to them. "Ultra Raptors....30....headed....this way! Scouts....dead...found...their hideout....a cave...not far from here!" He barked panting under his breath. "They will be here soon, i just outran them! I don't know how the hell they found out about this but we need to be prepared right now! We have no time to flee either, they are almost here! If we want to get revenge, now is the time! They have 30 raptors coming our way. I think I saw some Megaraptors with them too. If any of you have allies nearby, call them!" He continued, his barks more desperate now. He turned to Fatalis. "You say that Crusher is your best ally? Then now is a good time for him to come, these raptors will overun us. I recognized their ranks, some of them are deep crimson in colour, they are the elite forces. We'll be in serious trouble if we don't get help!" He barked...

[Doc 42]

2 pairs of eyes watched steeltalon walk uneasily towards her cave. sandstorm showed himself from behind a tree where he was hidsing and growled
"Hello steeltalon..."

[Hopeflower]

Steeltalon looked up with a snarl. Her burning red eyes flicked toward Sandstorm and Softfoot.

"I should've known," she spat furiously, getting to her feet. "Come to get yourselves killed, have you? You should be at the meeting. But then again...maybe you were just there to find out if I was alive." Her last words came out as a low snarl. "I already know why you're here. You want the truth. You're not going to get it so easily."

She flexed her leg muscles, ready to dash off should they show any signs of hostility.

[Legendary Elite]

Goldfang was running out of time, if Fatalis was convinced, then there was a fighting chance. They were going to need backup from Crusher. He did not know how big he was but he knew that he maybe the advantage they need to fight the Ultra Raptors. Steeltalon was on her own for now...

[Hopeflower]

Steeltalon lashed her tail. "If there's nothing you want, then I'm going back to the meeting. I've got a bad feeling." She sprinted off, going as fast as her legs could carry her. When she crossed the Game Trail and reached the forest on the other side, she leaped up into the trees and started jumping from branch to branch. Soon enough, she could see the river, and the mutants who were fast aproaching. She leapt down into the clearing, panting. "Goldfang!" she gasped. "There's...not much time left...the mutants...are only about...ten meters away...from here..." she rested, trying to get her breath back. When she finally caught her breath and started speaking, the Lone Wolves looked worried. "I saw...40 of them, maybe more, coming this way. This is going to be a bloodbath like no other. Fatalis, where's Crusher? We stand a better chance if he's here. And I want someone to go find SharpClaw and her pack, explain the situation. We need all our allies. If they can't get here in time...we're all going to die."

[Legendary Elite]

Goldfang saw Steeltalon. "Exactly what I said. He has to believe you Steeltalon. Fatalis, Crusher will very damn well be needed for this fight, the raptors will come, we will be screwed. There is barely any time. They are crossing a river not very far from here. Our scouts are dead. I found a their hideout at a cave nearby too. They are sending in some of their elite forces this time. I have met them before and are no pushovers. These Ultra Raptors have a new leader. His name is Reaper, an old foe of mine. He was Riptide's brother, twice as mean, his name speaks for himself. The deadliest, meaniest and most ferocious and dangerous ultra ever. He is the leading General and has sent a group of 40 Ultras to take us all down. We need Crusher now!" he barked out loud.

Berserk was busy overhearing the conversation and arrived at the meeting place. Everyone stared at the newcomer. The new Tyrannosaur roared at them. The Lone Wolves stopped and stared. This Tyrannosaur was here to help them. "I would like to offer assistance if I may. The name is Berserk. I know the Ultra Raptors, they have caused much distress. I will kill every last one of them. My rage is terrifying, and it will strike fear into them. I know I am not always friendly to raptors. But I know the only way for survival is to work together. I will help." He growled. Everyone waited for what Fatalis would say. Goldfang was glad at least someone was here to help them out.
