《Jurassic Park: The Beginning of the End/Life Of Crusher, Feared T-Rex》Prehistoric Park chapter 1 part 2: K-T Extinction Event Begins
Advertisement
The female T. rex has finally arrived, and trapped between her and the portal are a group of
Ornithomimus, another ornithomimosaur, and two types of crested dinosaurs.
Nigel is quick to activate the portal. The sauropods, raptors and azhdarchids run through the portal, driven on by fear of the giant killer.
They are soon joined by the flock of dinosaurs in front of the T. rex.
In the present, Bob is dealing with the new comers.
Bob can only stare at the Sauropods as they come through, having several near misses with the smaller creatures.
Back in the late Cretaceous, one Ornithomimus is too slow to reach the portal.
A young Ornithomimus is chomped down on by the female rex, who demolishes the wall in the process, crushing it instantly. She quickly turns around and carries it away with her, trekking back the way she came.
Nigel is quick to follow. If he can make it without being seen.
In the park, Bob has finally gotten all of the new residents settled in.
>
Back in the Cretaceous, Nigel is still following the female.
She's going so slowly now, due to the limping, that he can easily keep pace with her.
"I don't know exactly why she hasn't eaten her kill yet, she must be starving now."
Finally, she reaches a little den within a rocky crag. Here, Nigel gets his answer to the question.
Emerging from the crag are two juvenile tyrannosaurs.
They are quick to approach the female, who offers them the Ornithomimus.
Hiding in the nearby crags are small, furry mammals and little chicken like dinosaurs, eager to try to steal the scraps from the carcass that was hanging in the mother's mouth.
"It's been a long climb, but it's worth it. There are babies here.+
That's why the mother brought the carcass here, even though she's badly hurt: the babies need food. For a long time, paleontologists have suspected that dinosaurs showed parental care, and for us, this is just wonderful, just fantastic, we can bring back a whole T. rex family back to Prehistoric Park."
Nigel's optimism is about to be short lived, though.
The ground began to vibrate. As the footsteps get closer, another dinosaur had arrived on the scene, and it isn't friendly.
Another T. rex shows up. This one is a male, and he's hungry.
The mother turns to face her opponent, while the babies hide.
If the male finds them, they'll be in trouble. Which applies the same case with lions when they try to take over the pride. They'll have to rid themselves of any competition.
Like all predators, Tyrannosaurs were probably cannibalistic.
The male and female fight, until the female grabs onto the male's neck. And the male roars and thrashed aggressively, struggling to break free.
Neither seemed to have landed a killer blow, as they snapped at one another's flanks, before having a standoff, that lasted for a few seconds before the female bites the male's neck.

As he struggles to break free, he accidentally smashes the mother's head against the walls of the crag, critically injuring her.
She quickly goes down.
The male, having won the battle, claims his meal. Stripping the babies of food.
As the T-Rex leaves, Nigel approaches the mother Tyrannosaurus. Even in her extreme state of injury, she's still alive.
As he wonders what to do with the female, he hears another roar behind him. Another male Tyrannosaurus has arrived.
And this one can see the babies. Strangely, though, he seems more focused on the female.
As Nigel wonders what's going on, the whole world suddenly glows very brightly. In the distance, a great ball of light has appeared.
The meteor has finally arrived.
The asteroid crashes into the ground, releasing an enormous bang as it does so. Nigel is forced to look away and cover his ears, but he is still affected by the light and sound.
The asteroid strikes with a force that is several billion times that of the Hiroshima Bomb.
It releases a blast cloud that travels at over 1,000 times the speed of sound. Additionally, it sends flaming debris into the sky that will soon rain back to earth.
Global earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis will follow immediately after the impact.
And that is just the start. Acid rainfall will occur from all of the pollutants throw into the air,
and the entire world will be covered in darkness from the ash cloud that will follow.
For Nigel, though, the immediate problem is getting the Tyrannosaurus family into the portal before the ash cloud reaches them.
The male has moved near the female T-Rex and is trying to raise her up, with a lot of difficulty.
"That male, he must be her mate, which means he must be the father of the babies.+
Now, I need to do something, otherwise they will all die."
Nigel quickly gets to work setting up the time portal.
As he does so, the blast waves grows closer and closer.
The male rex is finally able to get his mate back on her feet, but she's still not in good shape.
Nigel finally manages to get the time portal started. He has to think and act fast, as the ash cloud gets closer. It's now or never.
Quickly, he tries to get the attention of the babies using the only meat he has: a ham sandwich.
"If I can get the babies through the time portal, then there's absolutely no way the adults won't follow.+
They can smell the meat in the sandwich, but they're more likely to try to lunge and eat me."
As the blast cloud nears, the babies finally follow Nigel toward the portal, joined by the small chicken like dinosaurs and the mammals.
As Nigel approaches, the babies stop, cautious of the portal. The parents are right behind them.

Then, the blast cloud hits.
In the present, Nigel, Bob and Susan are staring at the portal, wondering if the rexes came through.
Fortunately.
Their patience is rewarded.
Luckily-
The baby T-Rexes soon run through the portal, followed by the chicken dinosaurs, small mammals and their adult parents.
Against all odds, Nigel finally has a T. rex.
The mammals hide in one of the pens side by side with the chicken dinosaurs,
while the rexes go into a pen of their own. Bob quickly drops in three pieces of meat:
one for the babies, one for the male, and one for the mother.
"Once we can separate the parents, I'll have Susan treat the mother."
For now, though, Nigel wants to let them rest.
The next day...
Prehistoric Park is at last home to its first dinosaurs. One of them, however, doesn't seem to like it here.
At Triceratops Creek, Nigel and Susan are examining Theo.
He stares at them for a moment, then charges. They're lucky to get out of the way.
"And he's been doing this since yesterday?"
"He has. I think it's because he's finally matured and there aren't any other males of his species to spar with."
Nigel and Susan's discussion is interrupted, though, by the unmistakable sound of a tractor engine. Behind them they soon find the source: its Bob, with his completed project.
It's a tractor, but it has been padded with tires and has the front end modified so that it resembles a Triceratops.
"Open the gates!"
Nigel and Susan are quick to oblige. As soon as the gates are open, Bob enters the exit. Nigel's quick to catch a ride.
Bob is busy looking for Theo, but soon gets his answer when the tractor shakes from a blow to the rear. Behind them, they find one very aggressive Triceratops.
"There he is!"
Bob quickly backs up and changes direction until he faces Theo, then charges. Theo replies in kind, and soon, animal and machine are locked in combat.
Bob's idea is not as daft as it seems. It's a tactic game keepers use on rhino. This one, though, has the added benefit of letting all of the boys blow off a little steam.
Susan, watching the boys enjoy themselves, cannot help but laugh.
"Men."
Back at his den, Nigel is looking over some triceratops fossils.
"That was exhausting. I'm winded. Still, that was amazing, but that's what Triceratops do. Fossil skulls have been fund with horn marks in them from when they jousted.+
We might not have any other Triceratops horridus for him to fight, but the tractor is a worthy opponent. The thing is, I have to let him win, because I don't want to let him get injured, he's just too amazing."
Then, Nigel takes out his pack and unzips it. Inside are six tiny mammals. They all stare intently at Nigel
"And it looks like I brought along some unknown guests. These are the tiny Cimolestes. These are the mammals we saw at the den with all of the bones.
They must have smelled the food in my backpack and climbed in when I opened it.
With all of the other Cretaceous tiny mammals, it looks like we can build an exhibit for the little guys."
Theo Triceratops has calmed down and grazed as usual. With a young female from earlier, the rest began to follow. Soon it was a realistic Jurassic Park indeed.
It was an amazing sight to see how the dinosaurs now live amongst each other, doing what they do best.
>
"Now, this enclosure's so big, way bigger than I'd need for four tyrannosaurs.+
I'm not mad, I'm glad actually, but why'd you make it so big, Bob?"
"I thought you'd bring back a huge pack, so I built an exhibit for them and their children."
"Well, that's very thoughtful of you, Bob. Have you seen the babies?"
"Not long since I put them in. The parents, they're resting out here, but the babies, they've disappeared off the face of the Earth."
The heads of staff all take the time to examine the exhibit to see if they can find the babies.
They're lucky, the young are nearby.
The two juveniles burst out of a nearby grove of plants.
While their parents sleep, they've taken to exploring their new home.
"Wow, those little felllers are amazing," says Bob.
"And there so fluffy," remarks Susan.
"The adults may have well developed feather, but the juveniles just look like, well, giant baby turkeys."
"So," begins Bob, " have you thought of names for them yet?"
"I have. For the parents, the female will be called Sue, the male will be Stan, the juvenile female, who's bigger and stockier than her brother,
will be named Matilda, and I'll call the slender juvenile male Terence."
While the staff leaders discuss their names, the juvenile tyrant lizards play fight with each other, then start running toward the fence.
"You know, for how vicious they are, the look really adorable right now," notes Susan.
But they won't stay that way. In time, Terence and Matilda will grow into seven ton killing machines,
just like their parents. Let's hope Prehistoric Park hasn't bit off more than it can chew.
Unlike how Jurassic Park, and then Jurassic World all went to downfall extinction.
On the other side of the world, our familiar mating pair from Nublar, now in the mainland, let out a loud roar, not long after they escaped from the Lockwood estate and before the next Congressional session.
To be continued....

8 169Quebracho: The Legend of Two Heroes
After a violent and tough battle, you recover in an infirmary with your fellow soldiers, or in a more relatable scenario, visit your friend's house after a hard day of studying. You’d expect that both of them would play out normally for the most part, right? Well... Maxon Cortez and Jason McGuire had the same thoughts too. Yet, fate has different plans for them: Max ends up in an eerie location he doesn’t recognize and Jace gets transported to an entirely different world that works like a video game (sort of) by walking into a portal. As they travel along the lands, the two of them will encounter other individuals of many kinds, make friends new and old, gain powerful abilities, experience spectacular adventures, and obtain priceless treasures. However, Maxon and Jason will unknowingly become integral parts of a nefarious conspiracy that, if successful, will plunge both of their worlds into eternal chaos and darkness. So it’s up to them and their allies to thwart it. Side-Note: I’ll admit right off the bat that this story will be my first attempt at writing a LitRPG, so the in-game mechanics and terminology will probably look weird and be even nonsensical. If you notice something that’s out-of-place or just flat out wrong, I apologize. Not only that, it's been a while since I've wrote anything and thus I'm a little bit rusty. So please bear with me. New chapters once every Saturday or Sunday. Also, I'll be fine-tuning the grammar, punctuation, and spelling when I have the time. So expect a lot of random edits. This story is also available on ScribbleHub.
