The Power of the Order
#57 of Out of the Shadows: AnthroLover's Version
What happens in this chapter is creation of mine, you're welcome to review telling what do you think.
"Is that." finished Salen. "This is the story that is told in our order."
All dinos stared at them for a few moments in silence, then Chomper started to laugh harder than he probably had already laughed in his life. Rex joined him and soon all the sharpteeth were laughing. "That." Chomper said, laughing so hard that he was having problems to breath "Was the most absurd and ridiculous thing that I ever heard in all my life."
Bayron then stepped forward "Do you dare laugh of the teaching of our order?" Chomper just keep laughing "Yeah, because it is all too ridiculous." Then Vanny, the fast runner stepped forward "Is funny to you to say that our teachings are ridiculous considering te ones you got from Slasher" Chomper stopped laughing almost in the same moment and looked straight at the dinosaur, Vanny only smiled and continued "He was a despising dino, he could only be happy when e made others suffer, and had to cowardly hurt another's to feel that he was strong. He was pathetic."
Chomper roared in fury "Talk about my father again, fast runner, and I'll rip out our guts and make you see me eat them." Vanny glared back at him "There is no one stopping you." Was the only thing he said before charging forward. He quickly run across the ground and jumped, his foot outstretched to deliver a kick. But he didn't had chance to do, as Chomper quickly dodged and grabbed him by the tail, he then slammed im against the go]round and clawed him in the face, before kicking him, sending him reeling in the ground.
When he stopped he got up, a few bruises and gashes in his body. "You acted with hot head again Vanny" Said Balcan's voice "You really need to think better before you act." Vanny smiled at him "Thank you for the advice, old man."
Chomper glared at the fast runner "Rex." The dinosaur/dragon hybrid looked at him. Chomper rettributted the look with a dark grin "Burn him to a crisp." Dark Rex just grinned and stepped forward and opened his mouth. It could be seen an orange glow forming inside. The sharpteeth were curious, the leaf eaters and the alimons seemed terrified. No one noticed that the order seemed calm, and Vanny was actually smiling.
Then he shoot a fireball from his mouth. It went straight to the fast runner, who didn't moved out of the way. It hit him square, bursting into flames. Everyone backed away scared. The sharpteeth were smiling, know that he had a great power on their side, and the leaf eaters and alimons sneered, knowing that the chances now were almost impossible. Only the order remained tranquil.
Chomper then laughed "You see? That is what will happen with the ones that stand in our way. No one can stop us now. We are superior, we deserve to have it all and-" He would have continued his talk, but was interrupted by another voice. Vanny's voice "They say that when someone offers you a meal you should at least be polite."
Everyone's eyes widened and they turned to the fire that was still burning, and they could see a shadow inside of it with the shape of a fast runner "But I have to say that this fire of yours taste really horrible."
Chomper was shocked and speechless, but not more shocked than the others, but ultimately, not even a quarter shocked than Dark Rex. They watched as the fire danced in its place, and then it seemed to be sucked to the fast runner's mouth. As it went to inside his belly seemed to grow, like he was actually eating the fire! When he was finished, then his belly was big, but soon steam came out of his nostrils and from the gashes on his body and his belly shrunk back to normal. When the steam stopped coming out, the gashes and bruises in him were now completely healed.
When Vanny was finished he wiped his beak like someone who had just ate and looked at the shocked bunch of sharpteeth in front of him "Yeah, tough it was awful, this meal got me ready to another." The he hit his fists in one another, making them go aflame. Startling all the army who was seeing it. Dark Rex just stood here wide-eyed "T-thats impossible! Attack!" The army refused to go forward, but some, the most brave, or maybe the most crazy, got forward. But quickly regretted.
Vanny then put his two fists one in front of another in front of his beak, and blow through then. In the opposite side formed a stream of fire that set fire on the ground, making the sharpteeth stop on their tracks with terrified looks and stumbled back. The fast runner grinned, in this point the pink dracovol stepped forward. "Okay Vanny, don't need to kill then all of fear." Vanny looked back at her with a smile "It's okay Lara, I know what I do."
In this moment Dark Rex recovered from the shock. "You, you are going to die! I'm, going to kill you!" Lara smiled at him "Just try, ember spiter." The hybrid roared in anger as he breathed another fireball. This one direct to the dracovol.
Lara, like Vanny, didn't tried to dodge, but firmed her legs on the ground. The fireball hit her directly, covering her body in flames that licked her. Dark Rex smiled, but his smile died down when the fire subsided, showing that the pink dracovol didn't had a single burn. "This is the best you can do?" She tainted him.
Dark Rex once again roared in fury "Attack! Kill them all!"
Incredible as it sounded, some sharpteeth actually stepped forward, one of them was bonecrusher sharptooth that went straight to them, and tried to crush them with his foot. In this moment, Ginna, the egg stealer ran forward, right to under the sharptooth's foot. Everyone expected her to be crushed to death, but once again they were surprised.
She stopped the foot with her hands. A small, skinny egg stealer actually was able to stop a stomping foot of a sharptooth only with her bare hands! But it didn't was just like that. Then she shifted her body and, holding the sharptooth by the foot, slammed him against the ground. Then she took a better hold of his foot and swing him over her head and let go. The poor thing was throw almost 60 feet of distance and landed with a thud.
The alimons jaws dropped. Not even an alimon was that strong! And that little dino could make it look easy! Who were they?
The sharpteeth then backed away, but some proceeded. Then it was Hanna's turn. She disappeared in a flash of pink light, then she reappeared again in the middle of the sickleclaws, startling them. He used this to her advantage, she head butted one and then kicked another in the leg, making him go down. Another horned sharptooth tried to attack her, but she materialized a pink glowing crystal in her hand and throwned it in the sharptooth. as soon as it made contact the whole sharptooth was enveloped in pink light and disappeared in a flash. Then he reappeared again five yards away, and looked around confused.
Another sickleclaw tried to sneak her from behind. He then jumped at her. But, before he could make contact, a fist connected with his face, sending him reeling to the ground. The fist was connected to an incredible long arm, whose owner was 20 feet away, and this arm was stretched. The the arm recoiled back to his owner, Toofah, the yellow belly. He smiled and then raised his leg and kicked. His leg stretched around 30 feet and his foot connected with another sickleclaw's stomach, sending him to the ground.
Another sickleclaw, wide-eyed of the stretched leg in front of him, then tried to bite it before it recoiled, but a purple blur hit him square in the jaw. It was Bari, the runner. He then started to move again, he was visible only as a purple blur, his speed should be around 500 miles per hour. He hit around 17 sickleclaws, all at least 25 feet away of one another, in just 3.7 seconds. Then he stopped moving and grinned.
One sickleclaw was facing Diana, the rainbow face. He went straight to her with his jaws open. But instead of trying to dodge, Diana stood her ground as her body changed. The Sharptooth's jaw made contact with her body, and many of his teeth had fallen out. Diana's body had become an almost indestructible crystal! She then hit the sharptooth with her tail, knowing him out cold.
Three sickleclaws and one longclaw were surrounding Bayron, the sickleclaw, then the longclaw made a move. He went to Bayron with his claw raised, ready to make a blow. Bayron's eyes narrowed at him then something happened. The longclaw then held his own head and screamed in pain, he fell to his knees and soon collapsed unconscious on the floor. The sickleclaws backed away at this, then Bayron's eyes turned to them.
In this moment the faces of two of the sickleclaws gone blank and the turned to the third, who looked back at them confused. Them, without warning, they head butted him together to unconsciousness and turned back to Bayron, who narrowed his eyes, and then the sickleclaws too feel unconscious. Bayron only "Humph"ed and turned his look away.
Salen and Balcan were only watching. Those were the gifts gave to the order, the blessing of the spirits to the members of the order to keep the peace. Balcan would stay out of the fight as his abilities were not very useful, and Salen would only got in if it was really necessary. The sickleclaw spoke to the rainbow face "Do you think the others are doing good in Fortress Valley?" Balcan smiled "Don't worry. I think they're doing really good."
Back in Fortress Valley, a bunch sharpteeth flyers were patrolling around, and he was startled when a strange group appeared from nothing. It was a crestless swimmer (maiasaurus) with his amulet as a necklace, who was with Bruce, the fast bitter, Denise, the rainbow face, Lena, the yellow belly and Tim, the domehead. They looked around and Tim said "So, this is Fortress Valley. This place is actually nice." He then turned to the shocked flyers "Hey you! Were are the prisoners? We have to free them and take them to the Great Valley to when we win the war."
By hearing this the two sharpteeth flyers snapped out of the dazzle and the first of them went straight to Tim, who only sighed. The sharptooth was so concentrated in attacking him that didn't noticed that his body had become metallic and shiny. He connected his body with his with a metallic thud, and fell unconscious from the hit.
The other sharpteeth were shocked by seeing his friend fall by hitting the domehead, but quickly snapped out of it and went to, this time for the crestless swimmer. But was stopped by a stream of fire that was shoot from Bruce's hand. He stumbled backwards scared, then it happened something even stranger. Bruce's body turned into black smoke and flew after the flyer.
The flyer, more scared than ever, tried to escape the smoke, but it quickly enveloped him. The smoke made him choke, and in a few moments he was feeling light-headed for the lack of fresh air. Soon he fainted, and would have fallen if the smoke had not become partially solid to held him and place him on the ground. And so it reformed on Bruce's solid body.
Another of the sharpteeth flew and landed in front of Lena, who only smiled at them "Hello boys, how do you feel?" Almost in the same instant that she made this question they both started to feel a strange heat in their bodies, and some strange happiness that made them smile. In this moment their only thought was that the yellow belly in front of them was the most perfect and beautiful creature they had ever seen. She blow a kiss of them, their minds fluttered in pure bliss and they fall unconscious to the ground.
The last sharptooth stood there in the air, Denise looked straight at him and raised her hands, in front of her appeared a head of a flamebreath that roared at the flyer, making him scream in fear, in this moment Tim hopped and grabbed the flyer, then he landed and knocked the flyer out by hitting him slightly in the head, the image of the flamebreath's head disappeared in thin air, like it had never existed. Tim smiled at his friends "So, let's go, we need to free the prisoners."
"And the others in those places you told then to go?" asked Salen again. "Why was this so important?" Balcan only smiled again at him "You'll see. They will surely be alright."
Back on the cave were happened the incident with the stoneglare, in the outside, Pterano was still hugging his nephew's body. He had been there all night, crying over him. Maybe seeing his last family die had taken what was left of sanity on him. This was what he had though when he saw three dinos appear from nothing in a poof of smoke. They were a threehorn with a amulet like a ring on his nose horn, Heater, the sickleclaw, and a light-gray egg stealer with light-brown eyes who was using an amulet in his right hand as a ring.
Pterano was startled by the newcomers, but didn't moved or let go of the body. Heater noticed him and approached "What happened?" She asked shocked, Pterano glared back at her in anger "Like you didn't knew!" He screamed "Your people did this to him!" Heater backed away at the flyer's reaction, but she suppose that it was normal to act this way in the given situation. She looked around and saw a pile of broken stone, that remembered a form of a creature all broken, her eyes widened "Stoneglare." She said to herself. So that's why Balcan had sent they there.
She then looked to the cave and went straight at it, the threehorn followed, letting the egg stealer alone with the flyer.
She went inside and found a petrified spiketail. She looked around but it was the only thing in the cave. She sighed and put herself in front of him, looking straight to his face. Then her pupils narrowed to slits and her eyes shone. Then something happened to the stone spiketail. His body then started to regain color, and the once stone softened, slowly turning back into flesh. The heart started bumping again, blood started flowing again, and the eyes gained color once more. When it was over the spiketail screamed "Whata?"
"Okay, okay relax." Assured Heater "You're safe now." Spike was shocked to see a sickleclaw, the last thing he remembered was the stoneglare looking him straight in the eyes, and now he was here. He tried to get up, but th pain in his not fully healed wounds make him go down. Heater approached him and checked the wounds. "C'mon, we have to take care of this."
Outside, the egg stealer tried to approach Pterano, but he noticed this "Get away." He threatened "You will not violate this body." Pterano had heard many times of the egg stealers that, in hunger, feasted in the corpses of the already dead, and he was not letting this one had a meal with the rests of his family.
The egg stealer them was thinking about backing away, but then he heard a voice as his amulet started to shine. Don't back away now The voice said You can help him. You can fix this. The egg stealer looked around confused, them focused his eyes in the mortal rests of the flyer that the other was holding, then he gave some hesitant steps forward.
"Hey Jimmy." Heater said as she approached with the spiketail walking with the help of the threehorn. "Somebody here needs your help." When they arrived Spike's eyes bulged when he saw what was left of his friend "Petrie! What you monsters done to him?" He snarled angry at the bunch, but Jimmy, the egg stealer ignored this and kept approaching the body. He didn't knew why, but he had a feeling that he should do this. Then, he put his right hand over the chest of the corpse, then his ring amulet shine stronger and something happened.
The lower part of the body started to reform! First the bones were slowly reappearing, then were followed by the muscles, and finally the skin covered everything, and all the bruises that had in the body and the damage made by maggots went away. The others watched it all amazed. Then the flyer opened his eyes gasping and looked around "What happened? Where is stoneglare?" Then his eyes stopped in the flyer next to him, who was looking back in shock. Petrie to looked shocked "Uncle Pterano?"
He only stared back "Petrie?" Then they both exclaimed together "You're alive!" Then they hugged each other. While this the other three stared at the whole scene. "Jimmy" Heater said looking at the egg stealer "I didn't knew you could do that." The egg stealer, stunned, looking at his amulet, winch was still shining, and looked at her "Me neither."
"You." Said Dark Rex "I'll kill all of you" He said then before shooting three fire balls, one after the other, towards the order. Then Vanny came fast and put himself in the way. He stopped the first fire ball with his bare hands. Then the other two hit, making it grow bigger. Then he put his beak in contact with the ball of fire and sucked all the fire. Again his belly grew bigger before he let a generous amount of steam come out of his nostrils and ears, making his belly shrunk back at normal. Then he looked straight at the hybrid in front of him. "No one attacks my friends!" He exclaimed angered.
Dark Rex snarled ant take flight, but it was useless. Vanny gave a powerful jump with his legs, easily reaching him, and them, in an amazing show of strength, kicked the dinosaur/dragon hybrid in the face, sending him to the ground. He hit the ground with a thud and reeled through it before stopping and trying to get up again.
"Bite more than you can chew, big guy?" Asked a voice, he looked to see Lara in front of him smiling. He then roared furious and grabbed the dracovol with his clawed hand and brought her to his mouth and tried to chew her. He expected to be easy to chew that little dino, but, once again he was surprised to find that her skin, that he had felt so soft under his hand, was now hard as rock, two of his teeth had even fallen out.
"To hard to chew?" Lara asked "You have seen nothing yet." Then she used her hands and feet to open that mouth and came out, then she kicked the creature right on the nose, making him stumble backwards and cover his nose in pain. Everyone was utterly shocked. The sharptooth army, before so sure about their victory due to the flamebreath, was now having doubts about actually winning.
Dark Rex quickly recovered "I... I'll not be defeated by a bunch of ridiculous saurians." He snarled "I'll kill all of you." Lara then take flight "Bayron!" She called "Could you please bring this guy down? We better hurry up with this." Bayron nodded at her and narrowed his eyes at the creature. Dark Rex then felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, like someone was trying to compress his brain.
Rex was still stuck in the wall, when suddenly the cave started to shake and crack in some places.
He was startled by this. Would the place fall? And what would be of him? What was happening to cause this? In this moment he closed his eyes in fear and screamed "Someone help me!"
Bayron was focusing his mind to bring the hybrid down, when he heard a voice that was different from the hybrid, but yet was coming of him. Someone help me! By hearing this voice he stopped focusing, and so the pain in Dark Rex head subsided, and he was now getting up and walking towards Bayron, who he though being the one who caused him that pain.
"Bayron what happened?" asked Lara "Bring him down!"
Bayron ignored her and focused again on the hybrid's mind, hearing again the same voice Someone take me out of here! He then looked straight at the creature heading towards him. "You are not the only one in there." He said. Dark Rex only snarled at him "Who are you keeping there inside?"
Dark Rex then lunged at him, but Bayron closed his eyes in concentration and the creature gasped as it felt a pressure in his head, like something was trying to go inside his skull. "What are you doing?" asked Dark Rex, falling to his hands and knees. Bayron then slowly walked to him, and when he was close enough, he put one of his clawed hands in his own head, and the other in Dark Rex's head. Then both dinos pupils narrowed until they were nothing more than vertical lines in their eyes. Bayron had gone inside.
In the place Rex was stuck in he suddenly felt a gust of air, and two creatures, the Dark Rex, and a gray sickleclaw went flying through the cave. The creature fell hard, while the sickleclaw landed on his feet. Rex looked scared at him, and then the sickleclaw looked at him.
"Don't be afraid, young one." He said "My name is Bayron, and I came here to help.
