Fight!

A group of three Deltadromeus were walking through what would become the Baharia formation in northern Africa. Their alpha picked up the scent of a dead dinosaur, and he chirped to his pack-mates, ordering them to follow him.

The dead dinosaur happened to be a juvenile Paralititan that was the latest meal of Mako, an alpha-male Carcharodontosaurus. He sank his teeth into the flesh of the sauropod, before throwing his head back, swallowing a large hunk of meat. His mate, Sahara, had been killed in a previous hunt. As Mako ate his fill, he picked up the scent of three smaller animals. His foot on the flank of the carcass, he looked around.

Hearing rustling in a nearby bush, Mako turned his large skull in the direction of the sound. Growling at the bush, he did not know that the three animals were no longer there. Without warning, an alpha-Deltadromeus leaped onto his right side, ripping away at Mako's flesh with his claws and jaws. Hissing in pain, the Carcharodontosaurus failed to notice as the Delta's mate ran up on his left-side, near his tail. However, when the third Delta charged, he made the foolish mistake of running directly in front of Mako's flesh-tearing jaws, and the Carc plucked him off the ground, with blade-like teeth cutting into his flesh.

Mako crushed the Deltadromeus in his jaws with-ease, letting the dead animal drop from his maw. He then shifted and shuddered his massive body, throwing off the first Delta and knocking down the second one with his large mass. The two remaining Deltas regrouped, facing their larger foe. They charged, jumping onto Mako's right-flank, creating even more gashes in his flesh, before running past him...

...Straight into the jaws of a wandering Sauroniops. Sauron picked up the second Deltadromeus, crushing her in his jaws, before throwing her corpse to the ground and bellowing towards Mako. With Sauron in front of him, and Mako behind, the first Delta's fate appeared to be sealed. However, the two megatheropods were hissing and growling at each other, snapping their jaws, and they did not seem to notice the Delta Runner, who ran.

The one remaining Delta sprinted towards a nearby river, and immediately began to scoop up water with his jaws to quench his thirst. He was so distracted with meeting his body's demands that he failed to notice a large sail moving towards him. Without warning, a massive alpha-Spinosaurus clamped down on his body, before hurling him into a tree and crushing him under-foot. This was Egypt, and he let out a loud gluttural roar.

Sauron and Mako locked jaws, each using their powerful neck and jaw muscles to twist and turn their skulls this way and that, before the latter, being the larger fighter, broke the lock and rammed into Sauron with his head. The alpha-Sauroniops also charged head-on, and the two collided by their skulls, Mako using his larger body to his full advantage. He managed to push Sauron back, before biting down on his upper-jaw and swinging his skull to the upper-left, sending teeth and blood flying out of Sauron's skull.

The Sauroniops shook his head profusely, before lunging forward, driving his claws into Mako's face. The Carc reeled back in agony, before swinging his head low and clamping onto his right arm, tearing the forelimb off. Sauron screamed in agony as blood gushed from the stump and Mako swallowed the arm whole, before smashing his skull into Sauron's side, shattering ribs and knocking him to the ground.

Meanwhile, Egypt felt that his territory was being invaded, and watched as a Bahariasaurus, a theropod much smaller than him, stepped out of the treeline. The Spinosaurus hissed at his much-smaller invader, swiping the air with his claws. The Bahariasaurus clamped onto Egypt's right-shoulder, releasing a hiss of pain from the latter, who cut his hip with the claws on his left-arm. Egypt did this continually, finally forcing the Bahar to lose his grip. Feigning his blood-covered right-shoulder, the Spinosaurus roared at the Bahar, before swiping at his face, blinding his right eye. The smaller theropod screeched in agony before closing his jaws around Egypt's neck, shaking him like a rag doll. Reaching up with his left-arm, the Spino smacked his attacker in the face, forcing him to let go. He rammed the Bahar, sending him stumbling down a hill, towards a dueling Sauroniops and Carcharodontosaurus.

Sauron was up on his feet as fast as he was knocked over, and he slammed his jaws shut around Mako's neck, thrashing wildly. Shaking his head profusely, the Carc roared in pain before ripping himself free of the Sauroniops's grip. Without warning, Sauron was slammed in his side by a Bahariasaurus, who seemingly appeared out of nowhere. The two larger megatheropods roared in annoyance at the Bahar, before moving in towards him.

Sauron clamped down on the Bahar's leg, as Mako sank his teeth into his throat. His two attackers pulled in opposite directions, ripping the Bahariasaurus in-half. Panting, Sauron failed to react as Mako snapped his jaws shut around his throat like a vice. The Sauroniops bellowed and screamed in agony as the Carcharodontosaurus shook his head and neck, while opening and closing his jaws in rapid-succession. Finally, Mako crushed Sauron's spinal cord as he dropped him from his blood-stained jaws. Stomping his foot on the dead animal's flank as he roared triumphantly, thunder cracked overhead and lightning flashed...

...Revealing Egypt standing at the top of the slope. Mako looked at him with burning anger in his eyes, before letting out a deafening bellow. Egypt hissed, looking down at the Carc. The two stared at each other, signaling that the final battle had begun.

Mako clambered up the slope, charging at Egypt as he opened his jaws, preparing for an attack. However, the Spino quickly turned around, and his jaws closed down on nothing but air. Egypt headed down the other side of the hill, hearing a challenging roar as he placed his foot at the bottom. Turning around, he looked at the summit of the slope. Standing there was Mako, issuing a challenge for this territory with a roar of dominance. Egypt bellowed back as Mako charged.

The Carcharodontosaurus rammed the Spinosaurus squarely in the chest, the impact knocking the wind out of him. Wheezing, Egypt slashed his claws, blinding Mako's right eye. Pulling his head back as he bellowed in agony, Mako could do nothing as Egypt's claws shredded his neck, back, shoulders, and torso. But then, he predicted a strike and clamped onto Egypt's right-shoulder, cracking the blade. The Spino's deadly arm fell limp, as he roared in temendous agony.

Mako headbutted Egypt's skull before biting down on his neck, blood flying in all directions. Slamming him into a boulder, Egypt fell through the rock as Mako raked his massive toe-claws agaisnt his thigh, before closing his jaws around his vulnerable sail. The Spinosaurus screamed in agony as he hit the ground, before Mako slammed his jaws around his face, leaving a gnarly bite-mark scar.

Struggling to his feet, Egypt clambered back towards the river, barely making it into the water after slipping out of a bite to his right-shin. Mako was so determined to kill him that he entered the water as well, his large legs causing the liquid to splash. Looking around, he saw nothing, before feeling a tearing pain in his right-arm.

Looking down, his limb was ripped-off as Egypt revealed himself, before swallowing Mako's arm whole. Mako crunched down on his neck, dragging the alpha-Spino out of the water, as he swiped at the Carc's neck in vain. He was so focused on killing this animal that he did not notice as lightning struck a tree next to him...

...And it crashed on top of his back, knocking him to the ground. Egypt stood up with shock, and looked at Mako. His back and ribs were shattered by the impact, and branches had gone through his belly, spilling his intestines, some of which lay under the shallow waters of the river's banks. His head was in the shallows as well, and he could not lift it. The last thing he saw was Egypt's foot, which came down upon his skull, crushing it with a loud CRUNCH!

And just like that, everything was over. Egypt limped over to the corpse of the Paralititan and began to eat. Once he had his fill, he returned to the shores of the river to rest.
