BEGIN!

     An Albertosaurus is hunting in a large prairie, near the west coast of our island. He’s hunting a Parasaurolophus herd. He slowly stalks the creature, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Eventually, he comes within twenty feet of a juvenile. Just as he’s about to pounce, something rams him to the ground.

     A large Daspletosaurus roars at his victim. The Albertosaurus snarls at his attacker and gets up. He sees the Parasaurolophus herd run away, and he suddenly feels an intense pain in his left arm. He looks and sees a bleeding stub where his arm once was. He roars in sudden shock and pain and charges his attacker.

     The Daspletosaurus opens its mouth, ready to snap the Albertosaurus’s neck. However, as he catches the creature in his jaws, something bites down on his neck. The Daspletosaurus roars in pain and looks behind him. He sees the body of a Tarbosaurus before his vision starts to go black…

     The Albertosaurus begins to back off, hoping that the Tarbosaurus will be busy with the Daspletosaurus for a while. However, the creature looks thin- possibly hungry enough to attack another tyrannosaur as a last resort to avoid starvation- which means it might go after the Albertosaurus. However, the creature looks at the remaining stump of his left arm, and realizes that the smell of blood will attract predators from miles away…

     The Albertosaurus turns out to be correct, as a smaller tyrannosaur begins to approach him. A Teratophoneus, though relatively small, can be a tough creature to beat. As another creature begins to wander closer, the Albertosaurus realizes that he must fight to escape this battlefield.

     A loud roar signals the start of a battle that could determine the Albertosaurus’s fate. The Teratophoneus growls and charges the larger creature, leaping into the air to land on the Albertosaurus. However, the Albertosaurus moves out of the way, and the smaller tyrannosaur crashes onto the ground. The Teratophoneus looks up and is frozen with fear. As the Albertosaurus moves in to kill the creature, a larger, feathery creature kicks him to the ground.

     A Yutyrannus roars at the Albertosaurus and bites down on its neck. However, fearing for his own safety, the Teratophoneus bites onto the larger creature’s left thigh. The Yutyrannus winces in pain and tries to shake his leg free. The Tarbosaurus watches the Albertosaurus get up and leap onto the Yutyrannus’s side, and wonders if he should go in and kill the Yutyrannus, letting the other two creatures fight to the death. He decides against it, and watches the two creatures battle a large carnivore while he eats the Daspletosaurus’s remains.

     As the two smaller tyrannosaurs fight desperately against their attacker, they grow weaker every attack. However, the Yutyrannus is slowly getting more and more wounded, and if the two continue, they might beat their attacker. After about ten minutes of fighting, the Yutyrannus grabs the Teratophoneus’s neck and picks him off the ground. As the Albertosaurus charges, the large tyrannosaur throws the creature at him. Both tyrannosaurs fall to the ground and accidentally claw and nip each other, also draining their energy. Eventually, the Albertosaurus gets up, but the Yutyrannus slashes the creature with his toe claws. The Yutyrannus leans over and quickly breaks the creature’s neck with a strong bite. The Teratophoneus attempts to attack again, but the Yutyrannus senses that she’s very tired and wounded and quickly grabs his neck and throws her over the Albertosaurus, killing her.

     The Yutyrannus roars in victory, but the Tarbosaurus begins to stand up. He growls at the creature, which begins to approach him. The Tarbosaurus charges the Yutyrannus and rams him to the ground. He stomps on the feathered creature’s chest a couple times before attempting to grab the creature with his massive jaws. However, the Yutyrannus kicks him a couple times before getting up. The Tarbosaurus charges again, but the Yutyrannus bites onto his arm. The Tarbosaurus slams his jaws on the Yutyrannus’s neck, forcing the creature to the ground. The Tarbosaurus grabs the creature with his massive jaws and picks it up a few feet off the ground. He shakes the life out of the creature before slamming it to the ground. He roars in victory, but his roar is interrupted by the louder roar of the King of the Dinosaurs himself.

     A Tyrannosaurus growls at the slightly smaller tyrannosaur and slowly approaches him. The Tarbosaurus does the same, and eventually both creatures circle each other, each snapping their jaws and hissing, both trying to intimidate their rival. Eventually, both creatures charge, and their heads collide. Both creatures back off, disorientated. Eventually, the Tyrannosaurus rams into the Tarbosaurus’s shoulder, knocking the creature back. The Tarbosaurus snarls at his attacker and bites its neck. The Tyrannosaurus roars in pain and tries to shake the Tarbosaurus off. Eventually, the Tarbosaurus lets go and rams into the Tyrannosaurus’s side. However, the Tyrannosaurus walks off, blood leaking from his neck. The Tarbosaurus roars in victory and returns to his meal.

     As the Tarbosaurus walks back to his feast, he’s suddenly knocked to the ground. He looks up and has a couple seconds to react before the Tyrannosaurus crunches down on the Tarbosaurus’s neck. The larger creature stomps his foot down on the Tarbosaurus’s chest and shakes the creature’s neck until cracking is heard in the creature’s neck. The Tyrannosaurus slams the Tarbosaurus’s head against the ground a couple times, killing it. The Tyrannosaurus breathes for a moment before letting out a mighty, deafening roar, declaring him as the King of the Tyrannosaurs.

Winner: Tyrannosaurus

The Tyrannosaurus's sheer power and intelligence (plus the fact that he showed up pretty late) made him the victor of DDD's second Family Free-For-All.
