Tyrant Bird King
Hunt
Previous ChapterNext ChapterDiscord nodded, them inside of a cottage that he had invited them to. As he explained everything, everyone's face got more grim by each passing word, especially Bright Flare's, hearing about a dragon getting hurt because of a simple mistake. While everyone was comprehend this, Discord was sitting there, his body on a chair floating in the middle of the room.
"Wait, let me get this straight..." Claw said, drawing the attention from everyone in the room. "So, we are supposed to capture one of the deadliest creatures in the world. Next, we'll put a preserve around it and study it?"
"That pretty much sums it up." Discord said, drinking the glass of chocolate milk. However, only the glass drained away, not the milk.
"Wait, I have to ask; how will we do this without all of us getting killed?" Bright Flare asked, looking up at the God of Chaos. "I mean, no offense, but some of us are not strong enough to stop bone crushing jaws."
Steel Horns snorted, then opened his mouth to object, before Discord rose his claw, stopping him.
"I actually planned for this. While Equestria has nothing this advanced, I stopped by a close universe to "borrow" a machine that reverses death. I like to call it a respawner."
"So, when do we start?"

He kept walking, the small herd behind him folowing behind, stopping only to graze or when the massive creature stopped. He looked back at the longhorns, giving a snort, confused as to why they were following him.
He was not hungry, nor was he in the mood to capture food for later. He was no leaf eater, as shown with his teeth and claws. He was wondering why they were folowing him when he suddenly stopped, taking deep inhales of the air.
Smelling a familiar predator, he gave a throaty snarl, before walking the opposite direction, giving a loud bellow into the air. The longhorns gave loud snorts and terrified sounds as they all ran pff into the bushes nearby, making him growl, realizing they ran in the direction he didn't want them to.
He roared as he followed, disappearing into the brush. Nearby, a bird like head poked out of the bushes, giving coos and throaty growls. It had no beak on its snout, and its underbelly was a yellow, while the tops of its head had quill like feathers, the top of its body beng blue. It have a throaty snarl, before two more heads poked out, giving growls.
These creatures were known as dromeasaurs, also known as raptors. The raptors snarled as they saw the footprint of the massive crature. The other two were different colors, one green with no feathers, the other grey, and the biggest, having no feathers.
The grey one snarled, making the other two lower, giving a throaty growl as she walked forward. She sniffed the ground, seeing the foot print, then raised her head, giving a throaty calling, sounding like the barking of a dog mixed with a dolphin.
The other two gave throaty growls, following their leader, the alpha female. She snorted, then started to trot into the foliage, the two following behind.
He gave another bellow, making the herd stop, before he stopped as well, seeing the end of the forest. He inhaled deeply, his massive green eyes scanning the distant strange outcroppings he attacked earlier.
He heard the strange sounds of the four legs, then he looked over, seeing two more of them, along with some new creatures. One looked like the longhorns, but stood on two hooves. Another was long and had the body parts of multiple animals, another looked like an avian creature. A fourth looked like a familiar, scaly creature.
He gave a rumbling growl, making the longhorns come out of the forest. The creatures looked over, before he walked out of the cover of the trees, crushing a tree, hitting another out of the way.
He gave a bellowing roar, seeing their shocked looks at him. He looked behind them, seeing a strange metal thing behind them, feeling strange, and he didn't like it.

Bright Flare stared at the massive creature as it stood in front of them, it giving off another bellowing roar. She couldn't believe how large this thing was. It chased out a bunch of cows, and seemed to not fear them, seeing them as food instead of the large cattle next to it.
"So, is that we're supposed to be hunting?" Claw asked, gaining a smile and nod from the God of Chaos.
"Hey, Doc, you got dis thing in any of yer books?" Blaze asked, her smile deepened into a frown.
Long Scope gave a shake of her head, backing away a little, hearing a roar of anger. "Hell no! this thing ain't in any book, and I know every creature found!"
Steel Horn smiled, before snorting. "This creature will bring me honor in battle!"
"I suggest we have a ttical retreat!" Claw voted, grabbing his net gun from his back, aiming it at it's snout. It gave a crocodilian hiss in reply, starting to walk towards them, it's feet making the ground shake.
"I suggest we start firing at it!" Long Scope snarl, grabbing her tranq gun with her maic, firing three rounds.
"Agreed!" Bright Flare said, grabbing her crossbow out, along with Steel Horns.
The three rounds hit him in chest, making him give a trumpeting growl of pain, before shaking his body. They quickly ducked out of the way of a tail swipe, before Bright Flare started firing arrow after arrow onto the creature, making it roar at them.
Steel Horn hit it's snout with a few arrows, another set of tranq darts hitting its side, making it bellow out in anger. Claw quickly dodged a stomp of the creature, before seeing the jaws of the creature, too late, then being bitten.
Bright Flare felt her stomach flip, hearing bone crunch, Claw screaming in pain, before the creature chomped down again, throwing its head back, swallowing the Gryphon whole.
"NO!" Blaze snarled out, before breathing fire at the creature. It gave a hiss of surprise, the flames barely missing its head feathers.
Never seeing such a thing before, it roared at the dragoness, charging towards her. She gasped in surprise, before the creature bit her upper half, a loud, bone snapping sound echoing out.
Bright flare quietly held back the bie in her throat, seeing Blaze's lower half hang lifelessly from the creature's mouth. Bright Flare and Steel Horns backed up a step, before seeing the creature slowly turn its head, looking straight at them, Blaze's lower half still hanging lifelessly from its mouth. It threw its head up, swallowing her corpse instantly, then gave a rumbling growl at Steel Horn and Bright Flare.
It charged forward, Steel Horn throw down his cross bow, then pull his war hammer out, giving a chuckle as he charged at the creature. Grass crumpled under their weight, before he raised his war hammer, giving a war cry.
However, it's foot quickly interrupted his war cry, crushing his body instantly, eight tons instantly ending the Minotaur's life as quickly as one could blink.
Bright Flare realized that Long Scoe was still with her, seeing some tranqs hitting its muzzle, making it give a wounded bellow, slowing down a little. It stopped, roaring at the mares, arrows hitting its side. He shook his head, then noticed they were coming closer. His massive green eyes narrows, then quickly gave a tail whip, catching Long Scope off guard.
It's long tail slammed into her at fourty miles per hour, instantly crushing her ribs, impaling her heart and lungs, multiple organs destroyed, sending her flying. She slammed into a tree, destroyed her spine and neck, killing her.
Bright Flare saw the creature shake its body, giving an annoyed snort, then it looked at her, giving bellow, trotting towards her.
It stopped right in front of her, making her drop to the ground, giving up. It pened it's massive jaws, ready to end her life. She felt a tear go down her face, seeing her life flash by her very eyes.
She then gave the creature a snarl, then grabbed her crossbow, aiming at it's nose. Suddenly, a steel ne wrapped around its face, making it give a muffled, confused growl, clawing at it. It backed away, giving a clear view of her -now alive- team mates. Claw stretched, giving a groan of pain.
"That bucking hurt!" He yelled out, firing another net, wrapping more around its muzzle.
Blaze roared, breathing fire, making it back up. Tranq darts hit its head, making it shake its head, giving a tired, muffled hiss. It didn't notice Steel Horn readying his hammer. He swung, hitting its ankle, mking it give a muffled roar of pain, being shot with tranq darts. Another hit sent it tumbling down, giving a loud, unhappy groan of pain.
All five of them started to laugh, high-hoofing or patting each other on the back. A soft breathing sound confirmed it ws still alive, it opening it's massive green eyes, giving a loud, rumbing growl, making the group jump.
It's jaws broke open the metal nets, making it roar, before it got shot with twelve more tranq darts, making it give a tired roar, before laying it's head down, giving soft snores.
"We did it..." Bright flare said, before giggling with Blaze and Long Scope. "Oh my Gd, are you guys alright?! I saw most of you get eaten or crushed!"
Blaze and Long Scope gave a painful sigh as they stretched, popping joints, while Steel Horn laughed heartily, Claw giving a shiver.
"That thing's jaws hurt..." Long Scope said, before grabbing her book out, a quill quickly being grbbed by her magic as she started to take notes on the creature, drawing it's body.
A screech grabbed their attention, seeing clawed creaturs jump out. They got read to pounce, before a barred cage popped out of nowhere, trapping the raptors instantly.
Discord smiled, lifting the cage up, chuckling. "I think I should let twilight know I'm bringing more than one. you five, come with me."
