BEGIN!

     Walking through the hot, rocky, desert, a large male Tarbosaurus looks for water. A long drought has hit the island, and he has gone one day without a single drop of water. However, his eyes eventually focus on a mirror, reflecting the mountains near him. It takes him a moment to realize: the mirror is water! He runs to the small oasis, and as the hot sand and rocks burn his feet, he happily begins to drink. However, after he drinks a few large gulps of the water, he feels like he’s being watched. He looks up, and sees something almost his size staring at him. He growls at the new creature, and it hisses at him. Soon, he realizes it’s another tyrannosaur.

     The creature is a dehydrated female Zhuchengtyrannus. She roars at the Tarbosaurus, and he mock charges. The Zhuchengtyrannus is able to take a quick gulp of water before she sees the Tarbosaurus charge her. She sidesteps, and the Tarbosaurus bites down on pure air. Then, the Zhuchengtyrannus runs in and leaps onto her opponent. The Tarbosaurus roars in pain and surprise as the smaller tyrannosaur penetrates his skin. He attempts to shake her off, but it doesn’t work. Then, he runs into the water and lies on his side. However, the Zhuchengtyrannus continues to attack, but her attacks are lighter. Eventually, she stops, and the Tarbosaurus gets up. The Zhuchengtyrannus gets up and walks off. The Tarbosaurus roars in victory and continues to drink.

     It isn’t long before something leaps onto the Tarbosaurus. He turns his head, and sees the Zhuchengtyrannus. However, this time, the Tarbosaurus is able to shake her off, and she falls to the ground. Before she can get away, the Tarbosaurus moves in and pushes her to the ground. Then, he stomps down on her chest, breaking some ribs and her left shoulder. The Zhuchengtyrannus roars in pain and the Tarbosaurus stops. He sees that his opponent is wounded, and he walks off to continue drinking.

     The Zhuchengtyrannus lies on the hard, scalding, ground, slowly dying. Then, she realizes, she can save herself. She attempts to get up, but her side is very sore from the Tarbosaurus’s attack. As she tries, she winces in pain, but she forces herself to get up. She growls at the Tarbosaurus, and walks towards him.

    The Zhuchengtyrannus bites onto the Tarbosaurus’s tail, and he turns around. The Zhuchengtyrannus runs behind him, and bites onto his thigh. The Tarbosaurus roars in pain as the Zhuchengtyrannus’s teeth tear through his thigh like hot knives through butter. Soon, she tears off a chunk of flesh, and tosses it to the side. The Tarbosaurus turns around, and the Asian tyrannosaurs stare at each other.

     The Tarbosaurus attempts to bite the Zhuchengtyrannus’s snout, but she ducks in time, She bites down on the Tarbosaurus’s good leg, but he pulls it away before any serious damage is done. The Tarbosaurus bites the Zhuchengtyrannus in the tail, and she attempts to pull herself free. Eventually, the Tarbosaurus lets go, and the Zhuchengtyrannus falls to the ground. She looks up, and sees the Tarbosaurus staring down on her. He lunges in to deliver the killing blow, but the Zhuchengtyrannus rolls out of the way, wincing in pain as her broken bones come closer to the ground. Then, she gets up, and sees the Tarbosaurus charging.

     The Zhuchengtyrannus sidesteps, and bites the Tarbosaurus’s neck. She shakes her head, tearing off a chunk of the Tarbosaurus’s flesh and spraining the creature’s neck. The Tarbosaurus roars in pain before limping off, defeated. With his wounds and the drought, it’s unlikely he’ll survive very long.

     The Zhuchengtyrannus roars in victory, and walks over to the water. She takes a few large gulps of water before walking over to a shady spot to rest. The battle was long, and it’s almost night. The Asian tyrannosaur has won against another Asian tyrannosaur, and she deserves the rest after almost losing the terrible battle.

Winner: Zhuchengtyrannus
