BEGIN!

     A subadult male Siats is sleeping on a large rock in a large forest clearing. He has been there for a few minutes after he ate a kill he stole from a pair of Velociraptors. However, little does the creature know, he’s being watched by a larger, more deadly carnivore than him…

     The Siats feels something powerful bite down on his neck. He roars in pain, and sees his attacker. The creature is a starving Mapusaurus. The Siats thrashes around and kicks his attacker. The Mapusaurus lets go and backs off a bit. The Siats gets up and roars a challenge at the invading carnivore. The Mapusaurus accepts, and both creatures charge.

     The Mapusaurus slams his jaws into the Siats’s neck as the smaller carnivore scratches and bites him. The Mapusaurus lets go, but then kicks the Siats to the ground before it can escape. Before the Mapusaurus can finish off the Siats, the smaller carnivore rolls out of the way. As the Siats gets up, the Mapusaurus rushes in to attack. The Siats runs out of the way and leaps onto the Mapusaurus’s side.

     The smaller creature slashes and bites the Mapusaurus before he starts to lose his grip. The Mapusaurus shakes the Siats off, and slashes it in the face. The Siats roars in pain and surprise before biting the Mapusaurus’s arm. The Mapusaurus bellows in pain and surprise as the Siat’s teeth sink into his left arm. However, the Mapusaurus starts swinging from side to side, knocking the Siats to the ground.

     The Siats attempts to get up, but the Mapusaurus places his head on the Siats’s neck. The Siats roars in pain, and attempts to wiggle free. Then, the Mapusaurus cuts the Siats’s neck with his toe claws before removing his foot. The Siats gets up, and starts to run off. However, the Siats is exhausted heavily wounded, and can’t run as fast as he could not wounded.

     The Mapusaurus runs after the Siats. He can’t let it escape, or else he will starve to death. Because of the Siats’s wounds, he can’t run as fast. Neither can the Mapusaurus, but he is able to catch up a bit, and rams into the Siats’s tail, throwing the smaller creature off balance. The Mapusaurus does it again, this time almost knocking the Siats to the ground. Then, the Siats sees his only line of defense: the forest.

     The Siats makes a sharp turn before darting for the trees. The Mapusaurus follows it, and soon they reach the first few trees. As the forest becomes denser and denser, the Mapusaurus sprints towards the Siats. He grabs onto the smaller creature’s neck, and picks it off the ground. Then, he swings the Siats around, smacking it into the trees. Then, the Mapusaurus lets go, and the Siats smacks into a tree a few yards away. The Mapusaurus walks over to the critically wounded creature, and lifts one foot off the ground…

     He stomps onto the Siats a couple times, and then stares at the near-dead creature. He leans forward, and bites onto its neck, killing it. The Mapusaurus is wounded from the fight and hasn’t eaten anything beyond one-fourth of his size in almost one week. This creature is a little over half his size, and a perfect meal to get him back into shape.   

Winner: Mapusaurus

Being larger, older, and a quicker thinker helped the Mapusaurus come out alive.
