”Shit shit shit shittttt!!” Kenzo jaggedly muttered with a heavy breath. It was no surprise though, considering the predicament he found himself in that morning. Running at full speed through the dense Stellan jungle, the mercenary was being closely chased by a towering monster running at impossible speeds for its size. Now. Kenzo was no expert, but he sure as hell knew how to distinguish a heckin’ T-Rex if he’d ever seen one.
Unfortunately for him, his knowledge in the subject was proving to be as lacking as his ability to shake the monster off. While it truly was an abnormally large specimen for its kind, the dinosaur tailing behind him with sharp fangs ready to eat him was nothing more than an Allosaurus. Yet, considering T-Rexes and Allosauruses looked quite similar, the warrior could be forgiven for misidentifying it. Either way, the fact was that the warrior was barely extending the distance between the two of them and he was starting to get tired. On the other hand, the giant, 5-meter tall Allosaurus didn’t seem to be slowing down, roaring at him while he chased Kenzo down.
You may wonder, why was the swordsman even doing to catch its attention in the first place? Well, the answer was… eating. As stated before, his knowledge in modern paleontology was lacking, so he didn’t think it twice when he found a couple of large eggs in what appeared as a nest. The Allosaurus had caught Kenzo attempting to steal one from breakfast. Fast forward a bit and here they were…
However, that was not all. As the giant Allosaurus started chasing the mercenary, Kenzo decided to face it and teach it a lesson. Extending his hand mid-run, he tried to summon his inventory from his pocket dimension ring. However, he accidentally hit a branch on the way, somehow dislodging the ring from his finger and making it fly directly into the carnivore’s mouth. Truly his luck was cursed this morning. Regardless, Kenzo had no time to think about ways to recover his stuff, so he decided to escape from being eaten before. Jumping over logs, making sharp turns and displaying his best parkour skills seemed to be nothing before the Allosaurus’s sheer physical power. Yet, soon there would be something else for Kenzo to worry about.
He could see it from the distance, thanks to his right eye’s sensorial abilities. A young red headed woman and a tiny humanoid cat were held hostage by a pack of Allosaurus. Considering the two of them had assumed a high guard stance it was obvious they had been cornered by the hunting pack. Kenzo clenched his teeth at the sight of the woman in distress. He was not usually one to get involved with strangers, but for some reason he felt like if they were eaten by the Allosaurus he wouldn’t be able to rest easy. He was leading the largest member of their pack towards them after all – he assumed.
”Ruuuuun!!!!!” His words echoed just as the chasing dino appeared behind him crushing a couple of trees to dust with its mighty jaws. It was starting to get angry, considering it had been unsuccessful at catching Kenzo, meaning its roars and occasional bites at the air became more fierce and came more often.
Lunging with all his might, the warrior closed the distance between him and the woman with her pet. Without thinking it twice, he lift both of them, each with one arm and blitzed out ”Hang on!!!” Kenzo would thunder away from the middle of the pack of Allosaurus trying to save them from their doom, completely unaware of the actual circumstances though. Whether the dinosaur that was following him was part of the woman’s pack, it was still to be seen.
