Fight!

It had been three months since the deadly outbreak of bird flu struck isla nublar. A large number of herbivorous species had been almost entirely wiped out, with isolated numbers on the outer rime  of the island. The Carnivores fared a bit better, but were still affected. Large bodied carnivores who stuck to the perimeter of the island now roamed the interior, searching for prey. This caused many fights to break out which is normally uncommon, but with such a large number of Theropods in a small area, there is bound to be mutual conflict.

The sun is starting to rise into the sky on a cold isla nublar morning. A male compsognathus nudges his mate to wake up, and the two go in search of food. The female is frail, and sneezes every so often. Knowing she might have the bird flu, he didn't want to abandon his long time mate. They came across the carcass of a downed Parasaurolophus. Eager to get some food into the female's system, the male nudges her forward.

The female compsognathid tentively bites at the dead hadrosaur and begins to eat. The male turned to inspect the area, when a low rumbling growl caught him off guard. The enormous shadow of a Tyrannotitan rose from the other side of the hadrosaur. The compsognathids were rooted to the ground in fear. The mighty Carcharodontosaur roared, and the two compsognathids ran for their lives. To their suprise, it was running at them. The sickly female was lagging behind, and was dragged helplessly into the air by the Carcharodontosaur. The female tyrannotitan shook the helpless animal in her jaws like a ragdoll. The male Compsognathus stood in disbelief before turning and fleeing for his life.

The Tyrannotitan swallowed the compsognathus whole. The unintended prey animal filled her stomach, and she went to look for a water source. The stench of death was all around her, and  she was vaguely aware of what was happening to the prey animals, but didn't give it too much thought. She came to a shriveled stretch of river with many hadrosaurs  and a few stegosaurs around it . They turned and ran at the smell of a predator, but they did so in the female Carcharodontopsaurs direction. She had to step behind a large sequoia to avoid being trampled to death.

She stepped out from behind the tree and saw the cause of the impromptu stampede. It was a large siats, and it looked ill tempered. The giant Carcharodontosaur jerked his head from the water and saw a familiar face. The two had met before, the Tyrannotitan coming out on top in a territorial dispute that left the Siats' left arm horrifically disfigured. The bull Carcharodontosaur growled and walked towards his hated adversary. The female, already in a frail state due to her advanced age, didn't want to fight. She bowed her head in submission. This didn't have any effect. Without warning, the Siats sprang forward and bit top of the Tyrannotitans' head. He bit down hard, and pitched his head to the side, sending the Tyrannotitan flying into a small boulder, killing her.

The tyrannotitan slumped to the ground, and the Siats walked over to his long time adversary. He sniffed her and new she was dead. The Carcharodontosaur was in a fighting mood now. He bellowed a challenge into the cold morning sky.

A few miles away, a Zhuchengtyrannus bull was scent marking a new territory when he heard the unmistakable roar of a Carcharodontosaur. It wasn't that far off, and he decided to investigate. The Acrocanthosaur attacked from the left. Her large teeth pierced the Tyrannosaurs' side. The Zhuchengtyrannus jumped in suprise, and the Acrocanthosaur lost her grip. The Tyrannosaur looked at his attacker for a moment. The Acrocanthosaur had a crazed look in her eye, and was foaming a little at the mouth. The Tyrannosaur bellowed at his attacker, and rammed into her. The Acrocanthosaur fell over a downed tree as the Zhuchengtyrannus rammed into him. The Acrocanthosaur landed hard, and broke three toe bones and a few ribs. She squealed in agony, and got to her feet. She limped off into the nearby trees. 

The tyrannosaur snorted, and resumed his walk to the Siats' location. He lifted his huge head into the air and sniffed, pinpointing exactly where to go. Unbeknownst to him, the wounded Acrocanthosaur was following him, but at a distance.

The Tyrannosaur walked for almost an hour before the sudden stench of death wafted over him. He knew this is where the Roar originated. Hoping to get a response, he gave a small roar. He walked towards the small stretch of river and saw the Siats. He witnessed the Carcharodontosaur ripping apart a compsognathus, and waitng for the Carcharodontosaur to finish before moving.

The Acrocanthosaur attacked again. Her huge teeth ripped into the Zhucheng tyrants' tail. The Tyrannosaur spun around and smacked his head into the Acrocanthosaurs'. The bull tyrannosaur rammed him again, this time the Acrocanthosaur smacked his head on a large rock, knocking her unconscious. The Siats had witnessed the battle go down, and was now apprehensive about fighting this behemoth animal. They locked eyes, and the Tyrannosaur hesitantly moved forward. The Siats took a few stumbling steps back. The tyrannosaur was amused to see his opponent was scared of him, and decided he wanted lunch. The bull ran at the Carcharodontosaur and shoulder checked him.

The siats didn't fall over as the tyrannosaur planned, and the Carcharodontosaur reached down and bit the tyrannosaurs neck. The Tyrannosaur was a combat veteran, and having fought many a carcharodontosaurs' in the past, he knew he didn't need to panic. Instead, he used his position to crush the leg bone of the Siats. The Carcharodontosaur winced in pain and released his grip. The bloodied tyrannosaur jumped back, and watched the Siats. The Carcharodontosaur attempted to put his weight on his right leg, but almost fell to the ground as he did.

The Tyrannosaur was preparing to finish it off when The acrocanthosaur rushed by and knocked the Siats to its side. The Acrocanthosaur began to eat the siats alive. Dumbfounded, the tyrannosaur stood and stared. He knew if he didn't want any trouble, he would have to leave the scene. The last thing he heard as he was leaving the war zone was the dying screams of the Siats. The Acrocanthosaur had just finished off the Siats when he turned to attack the Zhuchengtyrannus. She couldn't find the tyrannosaur, and suddenly ahe fell to the ground. She went into convulsions, and soon died next to her close Carcharodontosaur relative.

The Zhuchengtyrannus returned to his home territory, battered and bloodied. He let out a soft chirping sound, and his mate, along with his two pups emerged from the trees. The female walked over to the bull Zhuchengtyrannus and nuzzeled his face. The tyrannosaur looked over his shoulder, looking for the Acrocanthosaur. He figured it had moved on, and went to go rest with his family.

last man standing...Zhuchengtyrannus!

Well there it is...What do you guys think?
