Dark and damp along with a bone chilling stillness in the air was all about the alpha labs, the stench of death filling every room wherever it could touch. Those who were fortunate to survive had a hard fought battle edging the balance of life and death along with the intense will to survive.

It had been a few weeks from when the lab doors had opened and the cryo chamber floor had its meltdown, with dinosaurs of all

Types emerging and living in the dark place they called home. Hunting eachother or anything they could get their jaws around, including some of

The herbivores who scrounged the green house area for any leafage they could. 

Predators were a different kind of game of hunting down in the alpha labs as various carnivores fought for dominance and food they could find or hunt.

In the darkness of a hallway orange scales flashed as quick movements to cross the hallway and dart into another room were in motion and not far behind much heavier footsteps followed by a bulkie shadow.

“Are we there yet Fury?, I feel like we haven’t eaten in weeks come on stop being so stealthy nothing ever comes down here” a deep voice came from a pale utahraptor who spotted the armor along his back, as he caught up to Fury who was a tad smaller but was growing into her glowing scales that flashed a vibrant orange.

Fury ignored Forage as she kept her head low and sniffed the air, she was on the hunt for sewage rats and not just any kind, the big ones. Along with being used to Forage being impatient like the usual.

Her tail flicked as she looked up at him before sighing “Forage can you go two minutes without it asking why we have to be stealthy” Fury said as she hissed in annoyance.

“We always try the stealthy way and our prey just gets away, it’s better if we run at it so at least we get somewhat of a chance to catch it” Forge said as he followed closely to Fury who wasn’t listening to him at this point. The two had hunted down in the labs before even if food was scarce, the meals weren’t all but filling but they worked for what they needed, and besides finding smaller things meant that it didn’t attract the much larger predators of the alpha labs to them.

Forge sighed as he knew Fury was focused so he hunkered down following behind her as they tracked a young Albertosaurus who had been from last months hatchlings that had hatched and now were grown into young juveniles and roamed the labs, as most of them didn’t make it to adult. 

“Look footprints, we are close it should

Be around here if we can kill

It we will eat for weeks” Fury said as she sniffed the footprints on the floor that were left behind due to the place being so dirty and run down. Forage followed as he sniffed the footprints himself, they were getting ready as they stalked the young albertosaurus it was unaware of the danger that followed it and Fury and Forge wanted to keep it that way. 

“I am ready Fury, Just give me the word I see it look ahead” Forage said through his teeth as he growled his pupils honing in on the small feathered albertosaurus juvenile, Fury giving off a grin at the words that came from Forge’s jaws. She was ready and so was Forge. The hunt was on for the two young utahraptors, hunting much larger prey was a good skill to have and the two were in it for real this time this was no sewer rat it was a predator just like them. 

Up ahead the juvenile albertosaurus sniffed the air trying to scrounge for food as it pushed garbage around on the floor with its snout but came up with nothing as it wandered closer and closer to Fury and Forage who were waiting for the perfect time to strike. Small rumbles came from the albertosaurus who stepped too far into the hunting zone for the young raptors and Fury was the first to strike as she flashed her scales at the alberto with her claws at the ready jumping onto its side.

Forge followed quickly behind his heavy steps making noise against the metal floor as he slammed into the side of the alberto who snapped its jaws but was knocked over by the heavy hit which made it let out a painful hiss and roar which echoed down the hallway.

“Get a hold on it Forge, it’s much stronger than I thought we have to bring it down” Fury growled through her jaws as she held her face away from the snapping jaws of the alberto who was fighting to shake Fury off and get ahold of her but Forge wasn’t going to let that happen as he rushed forwards to the front of the alberto and using his armored exoskeleton to block for Fury so he was up and close.

The struggle was starting to take the tole on the young alberto as its scales were coated in blood and the weight of Fury and Forge holding onto him, he was bleeding out and their hunt was going in their favor despite a few nips and scrapes the two had gotten while fighting the carnivore.

“It's slowing down Fury, I think we did it this time!” Forge barked towards her as with a stumble the alberto crashed onto the hard metal floor. Some final struggles from the three became still as Fury and Forge had brought down their prey as they finally let go and stepped back from their unmoving prey as they smiled at one another with blood soaked jaws, it was time to dig into their well fought for meal and they needed to do it quick because the smell of blood set of alarms for much larger carnivores that called the alpha labs home.
