LIFE FINDS A WAY
Jawbones's PL: 7,000
The sun beat down on the dry, red earth of the Radditsu District. Dust and thorny tumbleweeds fluttered across the empty streets. It was early morning, though the immense heat of Plant had already arrived long ago. In a lonely corner of the Radditsu were plenty of Saiba-beast ranches, breederies, and pounds. Electrified fences loomed ominously over the outer reaches of the ranches. Inside, captured or raised saiba-beasts and saibamen were contained.Some were fighting over scraps from a trough, some just sat idly in the corners, and others still were pacing around, impatient and tired. Not much thought went into caring for creatures that were tasked to explode themselves in battle. It wasn't like they were capable asking for more food or enrichment, anyways.Two feline-esque saibabeasts that were hissing at each other over some scraps stopped, perking their heads up at the sound of a distant ruckus. There were roars, growls, and muffled screams of terror from the farmhouse nearby..."GRRROOOOAAAGGH--!!" A bone-chilling screech pierced the air as a Cultiraptor barreled through one of the walls of the farmhouse nearby, knocking a injured saiyan to the earth below. "RUN FAR AWAY, OR I'LL KILL YOU!" Jawbones bared her fangs and roared at the injured saiyan as they bolted off in a panic as the monster spoke in the common tongue. With the increase in battles between saiyans and tuffles, and in turn Saibamen to be used on the field on behalf of the species, the raptor had enough of seeing her kind be used as fodder without doing anything.Rearing back, the Cultiraptor slammed herself into the ranch's fence. Though the electrified bars left some burns across her torso and neck, the mighty beast plowed right through it. The Saibas inside stared in awe and horror at this apex predator looming beside an opening to freedom... I am not here to hunt you, the raptor spoke to her brethren in clicks and hisses. I want to free you.Chirps, screeches, and shrieks of the beasts filled the air as the flock funneled through the hole Jawbones made, with the raptor rallying and leading the pack. The people of Radditsu were in for a very rude awakening as the shrill calls of the saibamen filled the early morning air. Jawbones sprinted down the street with the rest of the flock in tow, stirring up a torrent of dust in her wake as dozens of sets of claws darted through the worn roads. Now it was just a matter of escorting these creatures to the wild and taking down anything that tried to stop her...Total Word Count: 433
