BEGIN!

   A lone Tyrannosaurus is walking towards a river. He’s hunting, and sees something: an adult Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus. He approaches it, and they roar at each other. The Spinosaurus walks a bit farther down the river, and the Tyrannosaurus continues his hunt.

     Almost a mile away, a herd of Triceratops is browsing through a fern prairie. The elephant-sized creatures eat through the prairie, not aware of the upcoming danger. One large male, the herd leader, looks up. He sees a figure approaching his herd. He roars, and charges. It hisses and runs off. Then: he realizes: the creature was a Therizinosaurus, no threat to his herd. That’s when he feels a sharp pain above his hips. It’s a Tyrannosaurus, a real threat to his herd.

     He attempts to free himself while he bellows in pain. Soon, he bucks himself right out of the carnivore’s hungry jaws. Then, he turns around and faces his attacker. He bellows and mock charges the predator, but this doesn’t deter the hungry carnivore. He then charges the Tyrannosaurus, and hits her in the shin. She roars in pain, and limps off into a clearing. The Triceratops bellows in victory, and walks back to his herd.

     Soon, he’s knocked down, and sees the Tyrannosaurus. He bellows for help, and a female runs to his aid. The bull kicks the Tyrannosaurus, distracting her long enough for help to arrive. The female Triceratops bellows, and the Tyrannosaurus faces her. She roars at her challenger, and the two face each other. Then, they both charge.

     The Tyrannosaurus sidesteps, and bites the Triceratops in the neck. However, before she can finish her off, she feels a sharp pain in her side. The bull is up, and ready to fight. She releases the female Triceratops, and faces the bull. However, both Triceratopses attack the Tyrannosaurus.

     The two ram and bite her, and eventually she goes away. However, both Triceratopses are seriously wounded. They walk back to their herd, but soon, the bull is bitten in the tail by the Tyrannosaurus. He pulls, trying to free herself, and he does, but it costs him most of his tail. He is now heavily bleeding, and so is the Tyrannosaurus. However, the carnivore turns around and scares off the wounded female. However, the bull Triceratops rams into her leg. She roars in pain, and the Triceratops pulls his horn upwards, making a long, deep cut in the back of the Tyrannosaurus’s leg. She turns around, and bites the Triceratops’s frill. Eventually, she tears off a chunk of it. Then, she bites the Triceratops in the neck.

     She shakes his around, violently ripping the Triceratops’s neck apart. He gives one final bellow of pain as his neck is torn in half by the Tyrannosaurus. She roars in victory, but she’s also heavily wounded from the battle. She’s very tired and hungry, and she lost lots of blood from her large wounds. She collapses to the ground, and succumbs to her wounds.

Winner: Tie

Both obtained heavy wounds during the fight. If it was a 1v1, the Tyrannosaurus would've won.
