“GO GO GO! MOVE IT LADIES!”

Men and women in camouflage fatigues and helmets took up positions next to humvees and tanks. Helicopters and jet fighters soared overhead. Police and firefighters directed screaming civilians past the armored blockade. The air was filled with screams, gunfire, explosions, helicopter blades, and smoke.

Yet it was all drowned out by the bestial roars.

The Army took up positions in Times Square, flanked to either side by towering skyscrapers. As the last of the civilians ran past, they were joined by the police officers. They chambered their rounds and took aim with their guns. Pistols, shotguns, assault rifles, grenade launchers, fifty cal machine guns, anti tank missile launchers, autocannons, even some big boys with 120mm smoothbore cannons attached to 60 tons of pure American freedom and justice.

Ahead of them one of those big boys appeared from the right side of an intersection. It backed into the street, turret still aiming to the right as it turned towards the blockade.

BANG

Light and smoke blasted from the barrel as the tank opened fire with a thunderous roar. The Earth trembled with rhythmic steps.

Then a massive clawed foot came down, smashing through the roof of the tank.

A 10 ton monster stood on the remains of the tank, shattering the air with a primal roar. It stood on two massive legs, a tail like a tree trunk swinging behind it. Two tiny arms, and one humongous set of jaws filled with sword-like teeth. Rotting leathery skin with open wounds revealing diseased muscles and pale bones. Empty eye sockets filled with purple flames.

The undead T-Rex had come.

And it brought friends.

Dozens of Tyrannosaurs marched into the intersection. Their legs were shielded behind the crests of a phalanx of Triceratops, while countless velociraptors danced and circled between their legs. Lumbering sauropods towered overhead and pterodactyls filled the skies. All of which had rotting skin and purple flames instead of eyes.

Above their heads an Apache attack chopper floated from behind a skyscraper. Guns blazed and rocket pods roared.

And then flew the pterodactyls.

They swarmed over the chopper, metal blades slicing through leathery wings. But still they came. They wrapped around the nose and tail, beaks pecking at armor plates and glass cockpits. The chopper began to sway to the right and left before it spun out of the control, crashing into a nearby skyscraper and exploding into a ball of flames.

“LIGHT THEM UP!”

Thunder roared and metallic chimes hit the ground as the entire square lit up in light and smoke. Machine guns buzzed, rockets soared, cannons thundered. Explosions slammed into flesh and asphalt. Velociraptors flew in the air. A triceratops paused as an explosion hit its crest. A Tyrannosaurus fell to the ground with a cry. Pterodactyls dropped from the sky like leaves in the fall.

And still they came.

Closer.

Closer.

The soldiers began to step back. Vehicles began to back up.

But distance continued to shrink.

Humvees flipped as triceratops crashed into them. Tanks were crushed underfoot by sauropods. In the skys choppers spun out of control and even a fighter burned as it fell from the sky. Raptors swarmed over infantry positions.

The blockade broke.

“DIE DIE DIE! GET SOME, LOSERS!”

Agent Tina fired her pistols as fast as she could squeeze the triggers. Raptors cried in high pitched squeals as she dropped them to the ground.

But still they came.

“These losers just keep coming!”

A raptor crept up on a car behind her, and then pounced on her back. The other raptors swarmed around her.

She twisted on the ground, pulling out a knife and jabbing it repeatedly into the raptor’s neck. She then rolled out of the way as the rest of the raptors pounced.

And then she smiled.

A pin-less grenade rolled on the ground where she once laid.

“Later, losers!”

The raptors vanished in the flame.

Tina stood back up and dusted off her hands when the ground began to tremble. She looked up.

A Tyrannosaurus Rex marched down the alleyway.

“OH COME ON!”

Down south men in casual clothes lit up the streets. Pistols, shotguns, SMGs, assault rifles, Molotov cocktails, crowbars, machetes. Anything that could be used as a weapon.

But still the dinos came.

The men grunted as raptors leapt on top of them.

And then an icy wind blew through the streets.

The men pushed off the frozen saurians and stood to their feet as the Icy Falcon landed in front of them.

“Señor Falcon, great, just what we needed. I don’t suppose you’re taking a break today?”

The men aimed their guns at the man. Icy Falcon turned down the street where a triceratops knocked aside burning cars.

“Let’s put these fossils back on ice.”

The man nodded and all the guns turned to the dinosaurs.

“Strange times make strange bedfellows, eh Señor Falcon?”

A green light filled with black spots shot down the street. It slammed into a raptor which crumbled into dust.

There stood a gloomy man. He was thin and wiry, nothing more than pale skin and bones. His messy dark hair covered his eyes. He wore loose black clothes.

He also floated above the ground.

“Oh, that’s a bother…”

A Tyrannosaurus stepped out into the street. The Gentle Gloom slowly raised his hand, firing another beam. The Tyrannosaurus roared in rage, and began marching towards him.

“DIE!!!!”

A burning comet slammed into its head. As the dust cleared a woman came into view. She had long, busy red hair, brown skin, a smile of sharp fangs, and yellow, reptilian eyes. Two horns curled from the sides of her head. She wore a short orange tanktop and a pair of jean shorts, showing off red scales on her arms and legs. She clapped her clawed hands together to wipe off the dust.

“Thanks…Dragontooth.”

“There’s only one king of the lizards here and that’s me! Now get a move on, Gloom! We’re missing the party!”

She crouched down and then leapt into the air, clearing a building in a single bow. Gloom gave a yawn and then slow floated down the street.

“Ok….”

Men and women in black martial arts robes gave out a shout as they charged forward. Ancient blades, curved hook swords, sharp spears, mighty glaives, hefty clubs, and glowing fists met with claws and teeth. Core Disciples soared upon their flying blades as they battled with Tyrannosaurs and pterodactyls among the mountain peaks. Inner disciples sang their verses as blasts of Qi lit up the sky.

But still they came.

Xiong Huang let out a yawn as she brushed off the dust from the crumbling Tyrannosaurus ahead of her. She stretched her arms above her head and turned around.

"Sect leader! Where are you going?!"

"For a nap, maybe some snacks."

"W-What about the invaders?!"

"Meh, I got excited with all that ominous energy flying around, but they're disappointingly weak. You guys can handle it, it'll be good training."

"B-But!"

"I'll be inside. Don't disturb me unless you want to be my next sparring partner. Now clean this place up, it's starting to smell."

"Y-Yes mistress, it shall be done."

“Void.”

“What?!”

“You can be honest.”

“What are you talking about?!”

“What did you do?”

“What do you mean?! I haven’t done anything!”

Chronolock stood back to back with Voidspeaker. She held a triceratops vibrating in place. Behind her Voidspeaker swept a black beam over a pack of raptors. The corpses fell to the ground and remained still, drained of whatever power gave them life.

To the side a rotting stegosaurus dueled with a glowing pink one, while Wonder Knight held open the jaws of a Tyrannosaurus trying to bite down on him.

“No, I’m kind of with Chrono today, Void. It’s ok. You can tell us. We won’t be mad.”

“Bro! I! Didn’t! Do! Anything!”

“It’s ok, Void, we still love you.”

“Not you too, Pink!”

Voidspeaker swung around as Chronolock let go of the triceratops, draining its life right as it began to move.

“Seriously! Why do you all think I did this?!”

Chronolock pointed down the street, where another wave of dinosaurs approached.

“You’re telling me the dino-zombie apocalypse isn’t the result of eldritch powers?”

“Not my eldritch powers!”

“It’s ok Void, we all make mistakes.”

“Bro! Seriously!”

Just then a glowing purple sphere shot across the sky towards the approaching horde. Once it landed it shrank into nothingness.

And then a black hole surged into being.

Aurora Legion gasped and shield their faces as gale force winds blew towards the singularity.

And then all was still.

And the horde was gone.

The teens look up and behind them where a chopper dropped from the sky. A dark skinned woman in a suit and sunglasses leapt from the chopper, her shoes glowing with purple light as she slowly descended through the air. In her hands was a massive cannon, barrel still glowing purple.

“Director Green!”

Londyn nodded to teens as she landed, then took off her sunglasses and stared Voidspeaker in the eye.

“Void, be honest. What did you do?”

“Not you too!”

All around the globe televisions lit up. There was a throne made of bones, flanked by wooden torches. On it sat a man in black robes. He had a necklace of teeth and claws and a headdress carved from a saurian skull. His face was hidden by a mask of bone and teeth. In his hands was a bone staff, tipped with a round piece of amber.

“Greetings, you homo sapiens of the planet Earth. I am sure you are wondering just what has occurred this day. Fear not, for I will enlighten you, for all this is my doing.”

“I am the Necrosaurus, and I am your conqueror. Your doom.”

“And I must thank you, for I could not have done it alone. For it was you, who dug into the Earth and pulled from it the greatest riches of all. The necrotic energy of billions of lives cut short, entire epochs of extinction condensed down into packets of deathly power.”

“I have taken this pool of oblivion and harnessed the necrotic energies within, to raise into being my saurian hordes. The same hordes that now conquer your streets and cast down your heroes.”

“When will this come to an end? When will the hordes cease their march?”

“That, dear citizens of Earth, is entirely up to you.”

“When the leaders of the world come before me and offer their surrender. When your heroes and gods swear loyalty to my throne, then we shall have peace.”

“For this is no longer the world of humanity.”

“Wecome to…the Jurassic Cemetery.”
