《The Land of the Unknown》Episode 11 (Part 2)

The pylon stood proud and tall, just up ahead.
However, a big yellow creature with two heads walked around, as if guarding the entrance. Everyone by Ruth stepped back, thinking they had seen the dinosaur before, but couldn’t put their fingers on it.
“It’s a Dilophotitan!” Ruth deduced.
“Huh? You know what that is?” Maggie asked the bear.
“Yeah, it’s an exceedingly rare creature. What it lacks in strength, it more than makes up for—”
“Is there any way to beat it?” Tommy inquired.
“Well,” Ruth tapped his chin. “We outnumber that yellow dinosaur, so maybe if we find a way to—”
Dilophotitan noticed the team from afar and forcefully knocked down the pylon right out of the ground.
As the two-headed dinosaur pushed the monolith onto its side, Maggie held onto Ringo tight and whispered into its ear, telling it to go to the entrance and retrieve it back. As the dinosaur lurched forward, Tommy couldn't hold on tight enough and fell off the Thescelotitan’s back.
When he got back up, he noticed that Maggie and Ringo leaped over the Diplophotitan, making it over to the fallen monolith and out of sight.
Once Maggie reached the fallen monument, the ground shook violently. The earth split apart and kept the girl, the dinosaur, and the obelisk separated. Seeing the tower drifting away from them, Ringo leaped to latch onto the ground that carried the pylon.
Maggie climbed up on Ringo to reach the top safely, but looked back and realized that the danger it got in. Panic fell onto her face.
“Ringo, come on! Climb back up!” She cried out, extending her hand. “You can do it. Please hang on and don’t let go!”
Without warning, the grounds shifted again. Ringo fell up and over onto the platforms because of the slingshot motion of the ground platform. Maggie and Ringo slid down the grassy embankment until they came upon a sloped hill and flew off like going over a ramp.

“Oh no, we got to help her!” Tommy exclaimed upon seeing the chaos from afar.
“I don’t think there’s much we do since they’re so far away...” Ruth recalled, looking down. “It’s too dangerous right now.”
“But isn’t there anything we can do?”
“Besides staying back and staying safe? Not sure...”
Tommy looked over and saw that the yellow dinosaur was now on a higher level plain. He clenched his fists and walked away from the group, feeling the need to clear his head. Then Tommy ran toward the edge of the cliff and leaped. Fortunately, he reached onto the same ledge edge as the Dilophotitan. Ruth and Antonio gasped. It looked like Tommy and the two-headed dinosaur would face off on top of the platform. One head roared, prompting the other to join in.
Tommy wasn’t sure of why the Dilophotitan did that until he looked down from where he stood. The bushes below them rattled violently.
Antonio, Ruth, and Riley also heard the noises and looked over, only to find a red Leucoplocerex jump out of the bushes and ran towards them. Shivers fell from their spines but made a mad dash to get away from the red dinosaur.
The distraction nearly worked; from the corner of Tommy’s eye, the yellow dinosaur swerved its massive head over to attack. He jumped out of the way as the dinosaur continued to try to push him off using their heads. After he ducked under them, the Dilophotitan went to the edge of a platform and stomp around it, causing the ground to topple side to side. Tommy tried his best to balance himself and not fall. The Dilophotitan rushed back to the center, observing as Tommy ran around the edges, trying to provoke the monster to chase after him.
Meanwhile, Ruth, Antonio, and Riley ran for their lives, trying to avoid getting attacked by the Leucoplocerex when they came to a dead-end in the form of a mountainside. The three turned as the red dinosaur crept up on them slowly. Nowhere left to run, and it knew that.

Antonio looked over at his backpack and searched inside it. He reached to grab a crystal with his hand when Ruth tapped him on the shoulder.
“I got an idea. I don’t have time to explain it, but follow my lead.” Ruth whispered. The Leucoplocerex charged right after them at full speed. “Now, split up!” He shouted.
Antonio and Riley rushed out in opposite directions, leaving the Orso Looba standing there, with his back against the wall and his eyes squarely centered on the dinosaur.
As the big L-rex rushed over, readying its jaws, Ruth gulped hard and leaped into the air just before the Rex could snatch him in his jaws. The dinosaur hit the wall hard, leaving cracked and splintered walls as proof. Ruth’s feet landed on the dinosaur’s head, trying to keep balance on top before falling back on his backside. He slid across its back before eventually flying off the end and landing perfectly on the back of the pink Thescelotitan.
Antonio couldn’t believe what he had witnessed. Never had he seen such nonsense yet brilliance at the same time. It seemed too absurd to work, but somehow the odds were in their favor!
“Quick, we need to get out of here before—”
The Leucoplocerex got up from the impact and shook its head before turning to face the others. It smiled with an evil grin as it carefully approached them once more. The grounds and mountains shook once more, and several large boulders fell from the mountaintop onto the Leucoplocerex’ s head.
Ruth, Riley, and Antonio stopped long enough to investigate whether it intended to pursue them again, but the dinosaur stopped moving.
“Serves it right...” Antonio muttered under his breath.
Tommy saw his friend's face off the monster below and lost sight of where he walked, causing him to lose balance and fall off the platform. He grabbed onto the ledge, trying to pull himself back up with all his might. There, the Dilophotitan stood over him with those soul-piercing orange eyes.
“What? Do you have any more obstacles to throw at us?” Tommy taunted it, trying to sound brave through his petrified face. “We can take on anything you guys can throw at us, so whatever you — huh?”
But the yellow dinosaur just stood there, looking at him. It didn’t stomp on its feet, attack, or send out more attacks. The two heads on the dinosaur just looked at one another for a moment and then closed its eyes, enveloping a strange blinding light that made Tommy have to turn his eyes away from it.
When his eyes opened again, he found that the dinosaur and platform vanished, the surrounding area had already shifted to normal, and Tommy landed safe and sound on the ground. What did he do to receive such a response? What happened to these turns of events to occur?
“Tommy, are you all right?” Antonio asked, having caught up to where he was, along with Ruth and Riley.
“Yeah, I think so,” Tommy replied, stretching his legs. “But what just happened?”
“I don’t know, to be honest. Even the boulder and red dinosaur seemed to have vanished.”
“I see. Wait, what about Maggie? Is she ok?”
“I think she’s over there.” Ruth guessed by pointing in a direction. The four wasted no time and rushed over to find the whereabouts of her and Ringo.

The Demon of Shadows (Hiatus)
Spartans. Genetically modified supersoldiers who participated in the spartan program, which aimed to reinforce and compensate for the humans capability of emotion in order to create the ideal supersoldier. The program itself resulting in the implantation of a limiter for a certain individual, which acted in limiting that persons emotions. Replacing it with a cold logical based calculative mindscape. The limiter aimed to support the ideal supersoldier in completing the objectives assigned to them. Be it mass slaughter, or assasination. One such man who had volunteered to participate in the program to provide data in return for a large sum of money to save a precious friend, has his life lost in battle after years of service and mindless violence. Death, however, was something he usually gave, not to receive. So when death comes to take his life, he awaits in silence, only to be dumbfounded at what is to happen next. This is the story of Nicholas Gray, the Shadow Demon. Note: Story is based on other LitRPGs found on the site such as Dante's Immortality, Necromancer and Co, etc. and on Halo for the majority of the first chapter and possibly later on down the road, I only borrowed things such as the armour and weapons used in the game itself and all credit goes to them for that kind of stuff. I will also perhaps use it to explain his backstroy to further character progression if I can. The cover photo was also a picture I found on the internet and if you wish for credit or for me to take it down just say so and i'll do it as fast as possible. I also don't have a set schedule, and this is just being used to improve my grammar and just as a hobby, nothing more. I will also appreciate feedback in regards to grammar, style, and story in general as this is the first time I have created a story apart from at school, hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it!
