[Gift] Event | Rebellion | Sabotage

It wasn’t that the three raptors actually cared about what the iguanadons were doing. But it was in a slight way actually going to affect them. And even more importantly. Neither of the dinosaurs liked the fact that these dinosaurs actually thought they had any sort of right to actually take over any of the lands. Someone could argue that what Kormal, Ferdinand and Phaeniss was doing was for the good but in the end it was for the entirely selfish reason of creating as much chaos and suffering for what they all considered was high and arrogant dinosaurs.

They wanted to spread their plants around the world despite the fact that they had had so much help with repairing their dome. Regardless of how well the world seems to treat them they wanted to spread the plants that could cause so much issues towards the top world as well. They could keep them down in Atlantis regardless of if they moved to the top. But no. The queen wanted the best of both worlds it seemed. 

So what better way to deal with this than to cause even more chaos. 

“Is it going to be just pranks this time as well?” Phaeniss asked. He wasn’t hoping for it. In fact he would be quite bored if they both said yes. The pranks had been fun and they had caused a lot of problems for the iguanadons. But now he wanted to fight them. He wanted to physically attack something.

“Today we will be doing more than just pranking.” Kormal grinned wildly. It would be a lie to say that he wasn’t also longing for a bit of fight against these dinosaurs. “They think they can just take the top world over and plant seeds around wherever they feel like? We gotta make sure they all know where on the chain they belong after all.” 

Ferdinand nodded in agreement as he looked down the hill onto the Atlanteans. 

“I think this time we can go all out.” Ferdinand's grin was practically ear to ear as he spoke. “There’s no need to hold back really. They will fight back against us after all, and I doubt after all we’ve done at this point towards them that they will in fact go easy on us.” They had been quite a menace towards the dinosaurs in Atlantis. They had caused trouble, gotten thrown in jail -  broken out of jail. There were few things that the three raptors hadn’t done at this point towards the iguanadons. The mischief they had caused was surely not easily forgotten by the bigger dinosaurs. And given the fact that the yellow and green raptor also glowed in the dark with his bioluminescence it would be hard to convince anyone that the three colourful raptors weren’t the raptors they were looking for. 

“It’s not like we will ever be welcomed back into this dome again is it?” Kormal’s laugh was anything other than regretful. He seemed to enjoy the thought that they would be kicked out of the domed area. “What can we even lose at this point?”

The three raptors made their way down the hill towards the dinosaurs' resting places. They would probably have the best chance of doing the most damage if they actually surprised them. But given the fact that the yellow and green raptor was walking slightly behind Kormal and Ferdinand couldn’t stop his excited snickering as he walked they wouldn’t have an easy time surprising the group of Iguanadons. 

“You wait here.” Phaeniss looked offended at the suggestion that he would have to wait any amount of time.

“Why?” He was sceptical as his gaze moved between them. He wanted to disobey them but there was a small part of him that absolutely couldn’t.

“Don’t worry.” Ferdinand snickered at his impatience. “Just one minute. We will go down there and surprise them and you get to jump into the action.” 

This immediately turned his frown into a grin. He nodded excitedly as he crouched down behind the nearest plants and the two other raptors made their way sneaking down the mountain towards the iguanadons. He kept his eyes on them. Every now and then he would take a step forward, slowly and slowly closing the distance between him and the group of dinosaurs while trying his best to obey the commands by Kormal and Ferdinand.

He lost track of his two partners as they made it up into the shadows behind the group of enemy dinosaurs, it almost physically hurt him to sit still and wait. But he still did it. Somewhat. He kept his eyes on the dinosaurs until for just a moment he could see the pink dot of his partner Kormal run past the light. That was enough. He knew they were going to attack them now. 

He stood up. For a moment, stop. Waiting. And then Phaeniss rushed down the side of the mountain. At first he was quiet. It would take him a moment to get down to them. He took care where he placed his feet as he ran faster and faster. He was trying, despite not perhaps looking like he was, to time it perfectly with the other raptors attack. He saw Kormal jump from the shadows, followed by Ferdinand from the other direction. It looked as if they flew out from the darkness. He hadn’t perfectly timed the attack but the distance was perfect. The other dinosaurs in the group turned to the iguanodon that had been attacked by two raptors so suddenly. For a moment there was no attention his way and in an instant, thanks to the speed he had gained as he travelled down hill, he quickly closed the last distance between them and jumped onto the back of one of the iguanadons. It yelled out in shock and half of the group turned to see the bioluminescent raptor clinging onto it. Eyes fixated on all of them. Its gaze went crazy as it sank its teeth into the dinosaur's skin. He hadn’t had a good fight in so long. Seeing as Kormal and Ferdinand danced around the iguanadons on their side he felt as if the entire battle field slowed down. As if he could somehow see time itself stop for him. Everyone was moving so slow. This is where he belonged. The battle field. Fighting. He didn’t care that they were rebelling against the queen and Atlantis. He was just happy to fight anyone at this point. 

Phaeniss jumped off the iguanodon's back and quickly travelled around the group. The only thing they could see in the shadows was the streaks of his bioluminescence as he joined his partner's side of the fight. Three raptors against a group of Iguanadons. And they had the upper hand.
