Episode 2: The Battle Against The Alphas

Here's the next part! Enjoy!

The villagers were both in shock and awe, there were maybe five alpha tyrannosaurus rexes. All standing as tall as the trees and they were pissed... No... Livid...? Enraged...? Irate...? Uhhh... Well... They were angry to the point it was hard to pick a word to describe their rage. They wasted no time, charging at the one who broke the egg, Luna.

Luna jumped back when an AT (Alpha Tyrannosaurus) tried to bite down at her. They roared and charged after her. Lori yelled out a command and the warriors surrounded the ATs. First, Lori and other spearmen warriors did their best to restrain the beasts' movements with their own large size, making moving about difficult for them. The ATs swung their large tails and sent a number of warriors flying, but more villagers quickly took their place waving torches to use the beasts' natural fear of fire.

Then a warrior got grabbed by an AT's mouth, he screamed in terror as he was tossed into the air, the AT opened its maw to devour him, but it then roared in pain and the warrior fell back to the ground. He looked up Had it not been for Lori swiftly stabbing the creatures with a powerful thrust to the hind leg, he would've been a chewed up mess resting in the beasts stomach.

*SNAP!!!*

Lori hissed through her teeth, while she managed to pierce the dino's hide, the spearhead snapped in the beast's flesh. Lori jumped back when the AT tried to bite down on her, two more than surrounded the now-injured dinosaur. Lori felt a poke, she looked to see the warrior that got thrown, his leg having been injured from the fall, handing her his spear with a grunt. Lori nodded then took it and the warrior limped back to the caverns.

Lynn let out a fierce war cry as she charged at one of the dinosaurs not protecting the injured one, she ducked under a tail swing, sliding on the ice of the frozen lake. She then spun around 720 degrees to land a decisive and crushing blow on the back of the AT's leg with her maul. It broke the bone immediately, causing the bone shards to splinter out the other side of the dino's leg, causing grave bleeding and serious pain.

The AT roared in pain before kicking Lynn away. Sliding back, Lynn came to a stop but didn't fall. She instead maintained her balance. Withstanding the blow and getting back into an upright stance, all with a twisted grin on her face, she then roared before charging at the ATs. Going right after the same one she injured.

Back at the cavern, Leni was aiming down at the dinosaurs before relaxing her bowstring, she made a grimace face. While it looked like they were handling the situation, Leni could tell that her arrows wouldn't pierce the hides of the ATs. But there was something else stopping her. A low rumbling in the distance, the warriors couldn't hear it, but there were more Alphas coming. They were just fighting scouts.

Leni looked behind her to see several gatherers and crafters exiting the cavern through a back entrance, Lana and Lola were gathering their things, Luan and Lucy were helping elderly villagers to the exit, and Lily was with Lisa, who was prepping provisions for the journey. They were all leaving, this place was doomed if they stayed. Then, Leni heard several *thunk* noises behind her, turning she saw several arrows stabbed into a campfire.

Back in the battle, Luna could tell the dinos were still after her, as their eyes repeatedly looked at her. She knew that if she tried to approach the ATs would immediately attack her. Suddenly, Luna heard the sound of crunching snow behind her. She looked to see Lincoln behind her. He ran off and Luna noticed a clay pot next to her now, filled with animal fat, the kind they used to burn on their torches.

Luna got what Lincoln was thinking, shouting to the other warriors in her group, they each grabbed a pot of animal fat. Meanwhile, Lincoln was running around the surrounded dinosaurs as fast as he could, and repeatedly slamming his stone pick into the ice of the frozen lake. Leaving cracks in the surface all around the battle, which slowly grew toward the center as the ATs stomped around, attacking and retreating from the fire.
