The Second Spy
#39 of Out of the Shadows: AnthroLover's Version
"Oh no you don't..." Chomper whispered. He was feeling a bit horrified that Gorjak brought an alimon with him. Chomper thought that the alimons couldn't see them. He was taught a special spell by Slasher that would make him and his army invisible to the alimon's acute senses. Chomper knew very well about the alimon pack that guarded the valley and if they were alerted, the balance of power would surely shift. While there were evil alimons around, most of them that were in the valley had a strong sense of justice, and if anyone of them found out about his plans... Gorjak must've been a spy! Another spy just like Yu was. That would be why Gorjak is leading an alimon. He must've given the alimon a spell that neutralizes Chomper's own spell!
"I won't let you ruin this..." The carnotaurus charged forward, snapping his jaws angrily. "Things are going according to plan!" He ran through the brush and foliage, heading straight towards the flying sharptooth and his alimon accomplice. What he was doing was futile. Gorjak could just fly out of reach and the alimon could easily defeat him, no doubt about it. The alimon race was the only dinosaur species that Chomper feared, even with a large army pack to back him up.
The alimon noticed Chomper's charge, and immediately took action. It rose onto its hind legs and lunged its front limbs forward. It grasped onto Chomper's horns, and pulled him onto the ground, forcing the sharptooth to crash into the ground. The alimon squeezed the horns so tightly that they started to crack. This was an impressive feet, considering that Chomper was a 21 ft long one ton predator while this alimon was only around 200 pounds and a mere 12 ft long. Then again, all alimons possess seemingly unnatural strength, speed, and intelligence. Chomper shook himself free, knocking the alimon down onto its back. The blue meat-eating dinosaur quickly got onto his feet, and tried to stomp on the alimon.
"No!"
Gorjak, out of nowhere, flies directly at Chomper, and started pecking at his right eye. Chomper withdrew and immediately started clawing at Gorjak. The toothed flyer flew back, and high up, out of harm's way.
The alimon comprehended the moment for a while. The alimon was a female named Shuva. She was a grassy green with seagreen along her back, from the tip of her nose all the way to the tip of her tail. Her claws were a light blue in color. Her mane was a ligher shade of seagreen. She stood there, pondering if she should help Gorjak, or help the longneck, who was being attacked by a dragon/dinosaur hybrid of some sort, with a creepy glowing red eye. Shuva knew she didn't have long to decide. She finally decided that Gorjak, with his ability to fly, could handle Chomper on his own. She turned around and started walking calmly towards the longneck. A fight hadn't broken out yet, so she didn't have to hurry over. And she knew timing was everything. She couldn't afford to attack at the wrong time. She was too smart for that.
Shuva stopped, and looked behind her. "Good luck." She whispered, and turned full attention to Rex and Littlefoot.
"Why?" Littlefoot gritted his teeth. "Why would you betray us? After all we've been through?" Rex suddenly gave a cold-hearted laugh, his icy eyes gleaming. Littlefoot rose onto his hind legs, and plunged back down, the ground shaking as his heavy body smacked into the ground. "What's so darn funny!"
"You." Rex laughed, covering his mouth as though trying to supress the laughter. "Now doesn't this all seem so familiar, dear Littlefoot?" He sneered, fingering on his ridiculously long fangs. Littlefoot's eyes widen. "Isn't this exactly what Cera thought when I allegedly attacked her, hmm?" Littlefoot backed away, eyes narrowed to slits. Rex opened up his wings, exposing all the grisley tears in the wing membrane. "Same thing happening here...except this time..." He hunched forward and extended out his hands, moving his claws threateningly. "...I really am a 'traitor'..."
Suddenly he charged forward, opening his mouth very wide. Littlefoot braced himself, concentrating on every movement the dracovol was making. Rex seemed to be reckless. He was just going straight without any strategizing, Littlefoot thought. Any experienced sharptooth knows you can't just charge into prey head on. You need a strategy, a plan. But Rex had just charged forward without even thinking, and this was his first mistake. Littlefoot turned to the side, and whacked Rex with his long whiplike tail. The dracovol cried in surprise as the tail smacked him into the cold Earth beneath his feet, and he scrambled across the floor. He looked up at the longneck, and hissed. He opened up his wings, and took the skies.
Littlefoot gulped, eyes wide with fear. He didn't forget about Rex's flying ability. But seeing all those lacerations in the wing membrane, he thought that the dracovol couldn't fly anymore. But this theory was proven incorrect when the dracovol, shredded wings and all, flew 20 feet into the sky, and still rose higher. He backed up a few inches, and craned his neck up as far as he could, trying to keep the dracovol in his sights. Soon, Rex disappeared completely into the sky. Littlefoot couldn't see him anywhere. Littlefoot started shaking slightly. Rex could be right behind him, and he wouldn't know it!
As Littlefoot scanned the skies for his former best friend, behind him, the dracovol, red eye gleaming, came swooping in. He extending out both his feet and his hands, claws poised for the kill. He snarled, lips curving into a twisted smile. "You are mine." He spoke, loud enough for Littlefoot to hear him. The longneck twisted his neck around and screamed when he saw a shower of claws heading straight for him! Thinking fast, he dropped himself to the ground at the last second, winced as he felt the tips of the claws leave small cuts along his back and neck. Rex flew back into the skies, slowly turned around, and dove for Littlefoot again. Only about a second later, Rex opened up his jaws once more, but this time they weren't poised for a bite. Littlefoot's eyes widened in sheer horror as a fiery glow illuminated Rex's mouth, and in a blink of an eye, a fireball was hurdled down towards the young longneck!
Littlefoot's pupils shined with the bright lights of the fire as his eyes widened in fear, watching the flames getting closer and closer. He knew he coudln't dodge this, not fast enough anyway. Being a large sauropod, he wouldn't be able to move fast enough to escape the red hot flames of the fireball, and all it would take to have himself burned alive is just a little fire touching his highly flammable skin.
Rex watched, smiling coldly as the flames drew closer to the longneck he once called a friend. "This is the end, amigo!" He shouted a few seconds before the fireball would smack into Littlefoot's face and burn him.
Shuva couldn't take it anymore! She stopped walking and started sprinting at incredible speeds towards the longneck. "My kind failed to protect you leaf-eaters before." She cried as she closed in on the young longneck. "But not this time..."
With that, the green alimon leapt into the air, her front paws facing foward. Rex narrowed his eyes in anger as the powerful alimon knocked Littlefoot aside, and the flames that shot forward barely missed the tip of the alimon's long tail. The two crashed into the ground, and Shuva was sprawled across Littlefoot's wide ribcage. It took them a few seconds to comprehend what had just happened. Littlefoot opened his eyes and craned his neck to see a longneck-like sharptooth laying on him. Before he could say anything, Shuva looked over towards him, her red eyes boring into his.
"Are you all right?"
Loc growled angrily at himself. How could he have been so stupid? How could he have let the little spy get away? Gorjak had him fooled. Gorjak was a master at masking his true intentions. The red horned sharptooth walked alone towards the path where the other sharpteeth were hiding. At least the ones that survived, that is. There were still a whole lot of them. Loc picked up a familiar scent, and recognized a few raptors, including Blueye, Red, Sylvia and Jade. Only Sandstorm had left them. Red had convinced the other velociraptors not to leave, and to continue to fight. Loc couldn't help but smile.
"It is only a minor setback." He told himself. "We are still a huge army."
Loc then got flashbacks of Gorjak again. He snarled angrily as his brain replayed the scene where the flyer had tricked the bellydragger and sharpbeak into a trap. He shook his head. He didn't know if Dil or Ichy survived, and he didn't really care that much either. He wasn't exactly good friends with them. He figured that if they were alive, they'd come crawling back, and for falling into another trap, Loc noted that Chomper may not be easy on them this time around...
Back inside the cave, Ali watched as Yu and Sandstorm starting bickering at each other. She couldn't hear too much of what was going on. She was further away than Ducky and Spike were. She was still a bit fearful of the green velociraptor. Then again, she was still afraid of Sandstorm as well. The old sharptooth hadn't fully recovered, and she feared the day that he would.
Suddenly she felt pressure building up inside her, and she couldn't surprise it. She moaned loudly, her back legs feeling weak. She knew it was time. "The egg...it's coming."
