Gary's brow peaked and he punched a fist into his palm, "Huh, so those two finally decided to jump in, eh? This is a sign, gentlemen. That we can win!"
Bill shook his head as he grinned in glee at seeing the raptors join in, "You're absolutely correct, Gary. Now this... This is a real high-class bout!"
Oh how much they wished they had a camera, Randy sighing in mild relief at seeing Bloody Yandere go after something that wasn't named Randy Archer. Narmly how she was trying to carve her way into the hybrid's thigh. "Never thought I'd be so happy to see my crazy ex."
Kuro Hime barked to her compatriot and in unison they leaped off the thrashing hybrid and onto the rooftop nearby. Bloody Yandere stood next to her new alpha as the Ultimasaurus roared to try and find the source of the pain inflicted upon it. A call answered with snarls and barks by the raptors.
Double Skill roll! AW4bW8Bop_p_ 3 + 4 + roll 5 + dialogue bonus 2 + pack bonus 2 = 16!... Success!
The barks were heard and received, the Ultimasaurus whipping around to face the pair. It was soon to show it's appreciation when it cocked its head back before lunging forward and smashing apart the rooftop they stood on, ensuing an explosion of dry wall and debris the raptors thankfully dodged and avoided via jumping away. The distraction however might have bought Castiel enough time to try and use her greater mass and larger armaments to land the big hits. She stalked back, circling around and trying to take aim while the hybrid was distracted.
Stealth roll! p_ 3 + roll 3 + bonus 1 + dialogue bonus 1 = 8!... Success!
Castiel could plainly see how heavily armed the hybrid was in the front, massive claws, massive jaws, and sharp horns. But from behind, there she thought she might find some success. The Suchomimus lunged forward through the falling rain and slammed her jaws shut on the nearest leg she could reach just above the ankle. The Ultimasaurus bellowed in rage, kicking it's like back as the crocodile mimic's teeth sawed into the muscle (Enemy -30 HP). But try as she may, Castiel was no Tyrannosaurus or Giganotosaurus, lacking the crushing jaws were heavily serrated teeth to smash or lacerate the flesh. And the hybrid, while unable to land any big hits on her with his edged weapons, have the advantage of sheer mass at a clubbed tail. The tail club swung up before colliding with Castiel's flank, forcing her to gasp and cry out from having to wind knocked out of her lungs (Player -10 HP). The hybrid dinosaur kicked the Suchomimus off and shoved its hips into her, sending the Suchomimus backpedaling into the fencing of a tennis court (Player -10 HP). It snarled, raindrops falling along its face as it upon the ground begin to charge.
Ultimasaurus HP - 200 Castiel HP - 95 Bloody Yandere HP - 20 Kuro Hime HP - 18
Dive, does Castiel A. Try to get up and run out of the way to the left towards the gas station? (action roll) B. Roll around and get up to run towards the embryonic's building and humans? (action roll) C. Try to side step and slash at the hybrid as it passes? (skill roll)
Vman, does Bloody Yandere A. Jump along the rooftops and spring onto the hybrid's back to claw at it? (action roll) B. Run alongside and outspeed the hybrid to spring at it's face? (skill roll)
Tem, does Kuro Hime A. Glide and jump along the rooftops to pass the hybrid and distract it? (action roll) B. Run alongside and outspeed the hybrid to spring at it's face? (skill roll)

I think I'll just go for Ulti Zera's face...
Bill: "Just because the battle's going in your favor, it doesn't mean you're going to get the advantage, you biological war-crime!"

V, clawing at the face is risky... But go ahead. Dive, roll around to the embryonic building.
I choose A.
Gary: I know that they can win... But goddamn it, they need to dish out a lot more than they're taking. We still might need more muscle! We gotta get up off our asses and do something, but what?

"Every time we dish out damage, it hits us with just as much. There has to be a way to tie it down."

Bill shook his fist at the hybrid scoring a good hit on the Suchomimus. "Just because the battle's going in your favor, it doesn't mean you're going to get the advantage, you biological war-crime!"
Castiel groaned in pain as she tried to stay stable in the face of the soon to be charging hybrid, spurring Randy to pull up Dodgson' gun. "Every time we dish out damage, it hits us with just as much. There has to be a way to tie it down."
Gary grimaced and gripped the tranquilizer gun with whitened knuckles as he took inventory of the fighters, all too aware of how much larger and burlier the hybrid was than Castiel, even with the raptors helping her out, "I know that they can win... But goddamn it, they need to dish out a lot more than they're taking. We still might need more muscle! We gotta get up off our asses and do something, but what?"
Randy looked to his compatriots as he kicked a few flare rounds he saw scattered about towards a receptive Bill. "Much as I don't want to get near my Ex, think we could keep at range and make it a 6 v 1?"
Gary and Bill didn't backtalk, but they didn't jump up instantly to spring into action. The unspoken question of how much they could do with a partially spent pistol, half empty tranquilizer rifle, and a set of flares was lingering. Might they have any effect? Might they accidentally help the hybrid? Might they just put their own lives at risk after chancing death so many times now only to be so close to salvation?
Bloody Yandere, the most bold or bloodthirsty, that answer depending on who was asking, of the 'good' combatants; wasted no time in sprinting down the main street at top speed. The hybrid had only just then started its charge and was quickly overtaken. Extremely muscular legs crouched down and sprang up to propel the Deinonychus far off the ground and get her airborne.
Skill roll! winbmhZ4p_ 3 + roll 4 + dialogue bonus 1 = 8!... Success!
Bloody Yandere successfully latched on to the monstrosity's face, biting and clawing at it for all she had worth. The Ultimasaurus had a heavily armored head, a loan the from the Tyrannosaurus's dense jaw structure and Triceratop's keratin coated horns and shield, so she didn't manage to lacerate anything crippling but she did manage to draw blood (Enemy -10 HP) and throw the hybrid's aim off so much it ceased it's charge and thrashed about to try and throw her off.
Castiel saw her change and knowing she had to get clear to flank her foe, sounded off a desperate alarm call while the Ultimasaurus was distracted; sprinting towards the Embryonic's building and coincidentally the humans. Her eyes glimpsed the group inside and she didn't stop running towards him, both at of will to protect them as well as an old memory of her keepers. Humans were good, humans took care of her when she was a baby, humans could help with most anything. Humans could help her now!
Action roll! p_ 3 + roll 3 + dialogue bonus 1 = 7!.... Partial failure.
A yelp cried out and Bloody Yandere went flying past her, pinwheeling through the air and crashing through one of the intact windows on the embryonic's buildings roof (Player -5 HP). That was the only foreshadowing beyond thundering footsteps before a massive dinosaur cut off and bulldozed into Castiel. While Castiel did miss getting impaled on its horns, she cried out in sharp pain with a set of serrated teeth and hooked beak call her around the shoulder and scored a bloody hit (Player -20 HP), before the rest of the Ultimsaurus' mass rammed into her and shoved the Suchomimus into the side of the building with enough force to send one of the remaining walls crashing down on top of her (Player -15 HP). Castiel heaved and panted, trying to get up but having a clawed foot shove down onto her belly with an enormous killing claw primed to disembowel her (Player -5 HP) when-
Skill roll! p_ 3 + roll 5 + dialogue bonus 1 = 9!... Bonus Success! (and saved the Sucho!)
-a blur of black sailed over the hybrid's head in a glide and clawed the hybrid monster across the cheek, catching and area within thinner hide and drawing a bloody slash. Kuro Hime adjusted her glide she'd taken from the other rooftop and landed on top the Embryonic's building with her feathers puffed out and hissing angrily. Bloody Yandere shook off her woozy is from her crash and jumped out the window she'd been launched through, rabidly barking at the monster in tandem with her alpha. It caught the Ultimasaurus' attention enough to keep it from landing the next blow on Castiel, who the finally lurched up and buried her thumb claw into the hybrid's heel (Enemy -10 HP) as she struggled to get it off her as she gasped and strained against it. A contest of strength the battered, bruised, and bleeding blue beast is losing. Her eyes made contact with the humans.
Ultimasaurus HP - 175 Castiel HP - 55 Bloody Yandere HP - 15 Kuro Hime HP - 18
Vman, does Castiel A. Let out one last big alarm call while the hybrid is distracted to disorient it and cry out? (skill roll) B. Try to force the dinosaur off her by biting or clawing at its legs in defiance until the possible end? (action roll)
Tem, does Bloody Yandere [pack bonus active regardless of choice] A. Jump atop the hybrid's head and try to keep it distracted at risk of getting hit by the horns? (action roll) B. Rush about on the ground and rooftops to try and get it to chase you and keep it from focusing a target? (skill roll)
Dive, does Kuro Hime [pack bonus active regardless of choice] A. Jump atop the hybrid's head and try to keep it distracted at risk of getting hit by the horns? (action roll) B. Rush about on the ground and rooftops to try and get it to chase you and keep it from focusing a target? (skill roll)
Randy, do you A. Open fire with your pistol and shoot at the hybrid monster until you run empty while under cover to stay safe? (action roll) B. Run about the base yelling to distract and draw its attention while running between buildings and firing sparing to work in tandem with the raptors at huge risk? (skill roll + role bonus)
Bill, do you A. Fire at the hybrid with your flare gun to try and burn it since you're up close and under cover to stay safe? (action roll) B. Mash at the nearby fuse boxes to cause as many lights or speakers still working around the camp to go off and create as much chaos as possible at huge risk? (skill roll + role bonus)
Gary, do you A. Fire at the hybrid with your tranquilizer rifle and empty the clip since you're up close and under cover to stay safe? (action roll) B. Rush outside and find cover in the nearby foliage to take pot shots at the creature as the others act to come at it from another angle, at a possibly huge risk? (stealth roll + role bonus)
Gentlemen, this is event horizon. No matter what happens next, it's been a real honor if someone kicks the bucket next roll. You may make one last equipment swap amongst yourselves. All previous bonuses can be activated, one last time. ··

Guys, I'm really feeling the pressure here. But V, I want you to have Castiel roar while Bill will mash the nearby fuse boxes. Dive, I want you to have Hime rush across the ground while Randy is to run with them and yelling. I will have Yan-chan jump the creature's face again and have Gary sneak out into the foliage.
So to put it simply.
V, Castiel:A Bill:B
Dive, Hime:B Randy:B
Me, Yan-chan:A Gary:B
Gary: Men, the enemy stands before us, strong and unyielding. Our situation has gone so FUBAR that it's not even funny anymore. I am genuinely fearful that our demise is imminent. I have tried everything within my power to keep this team alive, by sheer force of will, but I'm nearing my limit. Bill, I want you to know that I'm sorry that I had been a terrible friend to you, it ached my heart all throughout these years that I had let my pain and despair shun your aid when I needed it the most, but now I feel pride and joy that you stand by my side once again in an impossible situation, my blood brother. Randy, we may not have known each other for most of our lives, but you have grown to be like a True Companion to me. I'm grateful that this Expedition has allowed me to connect with friends like you two. Hell, part of me is hoping we make it through this so we can all have a grill a my place and pop a couple of brewskies, and looking back on what we've been through on this Island. I think it's been well established at this point that we're a team of badasses that can pull off miracles! You know, now I'm no longer afraid that we'll die. We will pull through this! Kicking Dino Ass and taking names. Cas is down on the ground and she needs our help, we saved her once and we'll do it again. Advance, we make our choice with no regrets!
Yeah, a little melodramatic but I think it fits the mood, guys.

Options A and B... Tonight, one of us may dine in hell.
Bill: "Don't worry, Gary, if I die in the line of duty, just make sure my name is remembered! As for you, Mr. Ulti Zera Warcrime... You will not go gently, and neither will I. We shall both be remembered... But only one of us will survive this final battle. If my name is not Bill Stewarts, then I will make sure you feel our wrath."

This was it, final hour. The helicopter was due to arrive in about 10 minutes. 10 minutes and they might all be dead, Sorna's future lay in question, and BioSyn might recover thanks to the teeth and claws of their ultimate creation. Gary looked to his team this time around and seemed to slow, "Men, the enemy stands before us, strong and unyielding. Our situation has gone so FUBAR that it's not even funny anymore." Outside, Castiel struggled to get the monster off her, straining against its talon on weakening arms. "I am genuinely fearful that our demise is imminent. I have tried everything within my power to keep this team alive, by sheer force of will, but I'm nearing my limit. Bill, I want you to know that I'm sorry that I had been a terrible friend to you, it ached my heart all throughout these years that I had let my pain and despair shun your aid when I needed it the most, but now I feel pride and joy that you stand by my side once again in an impossible situation, my blood brother." Bill smirked and held up his sleeve to expose the old scar from the cut he'd made to seal a pact, one Gary sported as well since they were younger men. Gary nodded as he beamed and looked to their other compatriot. "Randy, we may not have known each other for most of our lives, but you have grown to be like a True Companion to me. I'm grateful that this Expedition has allowed me to connect with friends like you two." Bloody Yandere and Kuro Hime trying to shake off their tiredness from running around so much as they stared down what might be oblivion, instincts screaming at them to run. "Hell, part of me is hoping we make it through this so we can all have a grill a my place and pop a couple of brewskies, and looking back on what we've been through on this Island. I think it's been well established at this point that we're a team of badasses that can pull off miracles!" Deep in the jungles outside the compound, a low rumble rattled a pond. Then another. And another. A towering figure pitched its ears and nose through the sunbeams that broke through the canopy as if trying to listen and smell. Something was close, and it wasn't right. "You know, now I'm no longer afraid that we'll die. We will pull through this! Kicking Dino Ass and taking names. Cas is down on the ground and she needs our help, we saved her once and we'll do it again," Gary roared as he cocked back his rifle, "Advance, we make our choice with no regrets!" Randy grinned and shook his head, pushing back the sheer terror that was on all of them, "In all my time as a paleontologist, I somehow never imagined I'd be helping a Sucho and two cousins of the Raptor fight the biggest sh*t-your-pants-osaurus I've ever seen. Let's do it!" Bill saluted to his companions as eyed up the local machinery, knowing just what to do, "Don't worry, Gary, if I die in the line of duty, just make sure my name is remembered! As for you, Mr. Ulti Zera Warcrime... You will not go gently, and neither will I. We shall both be remembered... But only one of us will survive this final battle. If my name is not Bill Stewarts, then I will make sure you feel our wrath!" "INGEN TEAM!", Gary roared. "MOVE OUT!" three heroes called in unison to all the dinosaurs who could hear. LINK ROLLBONUSES ACTIVATED!: -"Stewards of the Earth" - The altruism of the team shines through as does their skill, all action and skill rolls involving nonhostile dinosaurs or parts of the anatomy receive a +1 bonus for the rest of the chapter! -Courage and Focus.

PARTIAL FAILURE... AND SUCCESS
They fought like legendary heroes. Bloody Yandere coordinated with her alpha, latching on to the monster's face and clawing at viciously. Every time she was shaken off, Kuro Hime would land a jumping swipe at the monster and distract it. The Ultimasaurus would chase her as she jumped rooftop to rooftop and glided across the main street, every time it grew close interruptions of gunfire saved her as Dr. Randy Archer ran between the buildings and fired at it with Dodgson's gun. It was a pistol against an armored monster, but it still hurt enough to get his attention. But just as it might lunge at the paleontologist, it would find the latter had been working in tandem with the raptor pack he so expertly read, Bloody Yandere ironically coming to his rescue by stubbornly refusing to stay down and lashing at the hybrid again and again. Puffs of airbursts called out as multiple tranquilizer darts impacted the Ultimasaurus's unarmored hips and delivered their dosage, Gary smirking from his hideaway as he kept firing. The sheer adrenaline in its system meant they wouldn't take full effect, but it had unsteadied the creature for a moment. Enough that when a genius engineer got to the fuse box and overloaded everything still connected, the entire compound became a cornucopia of static, radio songs, Bill's taunting jeers, and rapidly blinking lights that clashed with the lightning strikes above for brightness. The Ultimsaurus rapidly lunged and thrashed around it was attacked from all angles, weakening and unable a target anything. But the team's success wasn't forever. The monster scored a lucky hit. Bloody Yandere rushed it from the side and attempted to savage it's eye. But just as she was airborne and homing in on her target, the hybrid glimpsed her in the reflective lightning and lunged to the side. It only scored a partial bite, but it grabbed the raptor around the middle and shook her; launching her in a throw that struck Kuro Hime in the middle. The two raptors flew back so hard they hit the glass window atop the embryonic's building and kept going. Thrashing aside and lashing out at everything around it, the Ultimsaurus rammed its tail into streetlight and sent it flying towards Gary's; forcing the naturalist and tracker to drop his now empty gun and dive away. The streetlight being torn free ripped out many of the cables and disrupted Bill's antics. Many lights went out and soon the compound became covered in the dark of the storm and cold rain. Gary huffed and looked up, seeing in the crash of the lightning above that the monstrous creation was looking directly at him from down the street. Randy, eyes wide in terror, raised his gun and pulled the trigger only to get an empty click. Out of bullets. Bill tried to run out, but he was too far away and no measure of technology could save his blood brother. Castiel, the loyal Suchomimus tried to rise, but she was too weakened and crumbled when she tried to rise; watching as rain streamed down her face. The rain fell and a hot mist slithered out of the Ultimasaurus's nostrils. It was bruised, cut, shot, woozy, partially electrocuted, and injured. But it still stood tall. It's adrenaline was finally pumping to its unnatural fullest and blocking out the pain, driving it to what it was built to do. Kill. (Bloody Yandere -14 HP Kuro Hime - 16 HP Ultimsaurus - 75 HP, low health adrenaline Regen + 20 HP)
It advanced, taking a long stride forward. It would've taken another but long, sirenous call stopped it. It sounded almost serene, beautiful even. It was coming from Castiel. With the last of her strength she put everything into it. She didn't stop when the monster charged her, she didn't stop when it rammed into her and stabbed its horn into her stomach. She didn't stop when she was thrown off the ground. She only paused when she hit it, rolled, and fumbled across it to slide across the wet pavement to where Gary was. She only stopped when blood trickled from her maw and she flopped onto the rain soaked ground, coughing up blood that also leaked from her stomach and didn't get up. The Ultimasaurus snorted in sociopathic rage that was built into it, having the intelligence and yet unable to care about anything and having the instincts yet unable to act like a normal animal. This was all it could ever do. All it could ever exist for. So many throw themselves at, and yet they lack the power to finally kill it. The source of the rumbles on the other hand... They grew louder, constant. Not just one rattle but an oncoming earthquake. Trees trunks exploded from something swimming into them at full speed and not even slowing down. Any animals on the way rushed the clear path. Castiel's final call had been heard and it got an answer. RaaaaaUUAAAAUUUAAAUUROOUUAHAAAAAUUUAAAH!The oncoming juggernaut crashed through Atherton's fencing, not having cared whether it was turned on or not. The hybrid turned and had its eyes widen as it tried to dodge but was unable to stop over 18,000 pounds of dinosaur slamming into it full speed. It was hit so hard it went airborne, flying back and crashing into the gas station that collapsed ontop of it (Enemy -10 HP). Silence permeated aside from loud huffing from strong breaths. The lightning crashed and thunder rumbled, revealing an enormous dinosaur now standing in the main street and walking over towards Castiel's form. A long snout nudged her own, then her neck. Through the drops of falling rain the team could hear a surprisingly quiet hooting coming from a very familiar creature. He tried to get her to rise, but she gave no response. Rubble shifted and tore free in an explosion of motion, the Ultimasaurus bursting out of the debris before rising on shaking legs. One final hoot was cast to no response, rain falling down a broad sail. A growl from the Ultimasaurus spurred it to slowly turned around. If a creature was capable of it, it's eyes seared with pure hatred. Castiel's final act in this war had been to summon the only creature that stood a chance against the monster. She'd called her mate. The Lord of Isla Sorna had arrived to avenge his queen. The Spinosaurus, christened Snoke, met the roar the challenger gave with his own as a lightning bolt struck the ground between them. SUDDEN DEATH!... Ultimasaurus HP - 110 (+10 regen per turn) Snoke HP - 180

Hmm guys, this is one of those times where I could definitely use advice and feedback on how we should handle our next steps. If you have suggestions, criticism, or even better ideas then speak up as I lay out my plan so far.
I'm thinking of side stepping to dodge as the creature charges at us, then the full body tackle and claw at its unarmored portion as it's down?
Gary: Cas... Cas... You fought well, girl. Better than anyone expected, may you rest in peace wherever animals go to in the afterlife if not heaven. I'll never be able to repay your act of heroism. Coming to save us in our most desperate hour of need. I'll never forget that. I won't forget that! God Damn you, Filthy... Monstrous... Scum. I can't tell what's going through that pathetic twisted little head of yours, but I damn well know what's going through mine. That you disgust me! That trash like you should not be allowed to exist. You're a cancerous, parasitic pest. And pests, have to be EXTERMINATED!
More melodramatic dialogue, but I wanted to write this as a moment of Gary going absolutely nuts. I've been writing him so far as a lawful, virtuous individual who has a deep appreciation for life to the point that he refuses to kill unless it was absolutely neccesary and even then he'd feel bad about it(it's actually one of the reasons why I chose a tranq for him instead of a gun, aside from the practical angle), but now is a time where he, Honest to God, and from the bottom of his heart, wishes for something to die. And I feel legitimately sad that Cas is dead.
EDIT: Ohh and can we still do equipment swaps or?

I'm here. I agree with Tem's plan, we need to take this thing down quick. We lost Cas (may she rest in peace) so Snoke is pretty much our only option right now.
"Cas, you did good girl. Never forget that. As for you Snoke, hopefully you'll actually be able to do something."

(That, was some DAMN good writing guys, especially for Gary. Bonus points for that my man, props. Glad I got a gut punch off with what happened to Castiel ^^'/XD ) Randy limped up to where Gary was, placing a sympathetic hand on the still warm neck of their guardian angel to pat her, "Cas, you did good girl. Never forget that..." The roar of the Spinosaurus spurred him to look towards it, "As for you Snoke, hopefully you'll actually be able to do something." Bill kept his head down as he approached the others by Castiel's form, "Alright then, friends... Let's make sure the Red Death's final moments end with a bang..." He looked up to the fallen Suchomimus' mate facing off against oblivion. He hoped Randy was right, and Snoke would make it hurt. "If only you had good in you, Chimera." Gary was far less composed at hiding his anger than the others. He hadn't removed himself from Castiel's face. Tears ran down his face with the rain, and he wasn't the only one crying. "Cas... Cas... You fought well, girl. Better than anyone expected, may you rest in peace wherever animals go to in the afterlife if not heaven... I'll never be able to repay your act of heroism," He grunted and croaked as his hands felt across her scaly, sapphire hide, "Coming to save us in our most desperate hour of need, really are an shield of god. I'll never forget that..." Gary winced and looked up towards the Ultimasaurus as it roared back at Snoke. Pure hatred was spewing out of the venom across his tongue and glare in his eyes. He cursed them all, Atherton for creating it, BioSyn for wanting it, Penward for being the sick SOB being even born, all of it! "I won't forget that! God Damn you, Filthy... Monstrous... Scum. I can't tell what's going through that pathetic twisted little head of yours, but I damn well know what's going through mine..." The hybrid actually seemed to pay the human a fleeting glance, if only to see what was making all that noise as Bill and Randy had to restrain Gary for fear he'd rush the beast with just his knife. "That you disgust me! That trash like you should not be allowed to exist. You're a cancerous, parasitic pest. And pests, have to be EXTERMINATED!" Snoke, while not knowing what was going on or even paying any attention to the human, thematically seemed to agree as it stomped over to put itself between the hybrid and his fallen mate; if only to protect her body. The Spinosaurus amalgamation bellowed and braced to get ready. o|YSdb3sp_p_p_p_12 + roll 11 + dialogue bonus 5 + reward bonus 2 = Success! ROUND 1 - FIGHTThe Ultimasaurus came at him like a freight train. Even if they were of roughly equal mass, this would bowl Snoke over and the first hybrid ever born know this. But it had one advantage its later 'improvement' lacked. Snoke had thrived on Isla Sorna, the most dangerous environment on the planet, for years. Time gave experience. Territory conflicts, disputes over foot, prey that fought back, the days and years past each carried a challenge. The Ultimasaurus was an admixture of Deinonychus, Triceratops, Ankylosaurus, and Tyrannosaurus; Snoke had fought all of them. It was his claws that spurred the facial scars the father male Tyrannosaurus the team encountered earlier, from a stand off in both creature's youths when the Tyrannosaur charged just like this hybrid did. Muscle memory did the rest to even the playing field. With shocking agility for something its weight class, the Spinosaurus retracted and sidestepped as time seemed to slow. The hybrid streamed past it as the rain drops hit the ground, Snoke recoiling and sidestepping to dodge the Red Death. It's 9 ton mass missed, the full 9 ton charge Snoke gave it didn't. The Ultimasaurus squawked as it was torn off its feet and shoved forward at its side, stumbling and recoiling to try and gain its footing as Snoke smashed it into and through several power lines (Enemy -10 HP). Sparks and splinters of wood flew everywhere. Snoke bellowed and threw his weight forward, sending his rival careening back into the communication's tower (Enemy -10 HP). But as the rubble fell, the Red Death showed it was far from done. Springing off the ground with its power raptor derived legs, it flung forward under the flash of a lightning horn first and found its target. Snoke's growl was cut into a grunt, the Spinosaurus stumbling back with a horn rammed into its chest. Thankfully his dense sternum had saved Snoke from being impaled outright but it bled and it hurt (Player -20 HP). The Red Death hissed contently as some blood trickled into its mouth. It stopped when a paw grabbed the horn by its base and completely stopped its forward momentum. It tried to shove back but was yanked off its feet and thrown to the ground. There no stopping it. Snoke was damaged but not reacting to the pain and powering through it. Wrath incarnate, both from the team and himself, the Spinosaurus raised a paw and smashed its palm into the lead horn while clutching it in its other hand. A bony snap echoed out as the horn was broken in two, blood filled, marrow pulp streaming down from the snapped base as horn itself went flying off and lodged itself into the pavement directly beside Randy like a javelin (Enemy -10 HP). The Ultimasaurus screamed out in pain and backpedaled just long enough to take a uppercut slash across its jaw. Spitting out blood and loose teeth, the hybrid reacted to its prototype with like and rended across Snoke's torso in a manner sure to scar. Both hybrids, the greatest creations of Dr. Henry Wu and Dr. Norman Atherton, one predator and one weapon, cried out into the storm in a bloody rage and slashed at one another; often intercepting each other's swings in a way one could swear they saw sparks coming off clashing talons. They moved with agility and speed betrayed in size, blurry in many cases with both dead set to cut the other to ribbons (Both -10 HP). Snoke roared into the thunder and swung out both arms as his foe did the same. Claw to claw in a deadlock, one added to by twin crashes of their foreheads smashing together (Both -10HP). Their foot bore talons dug into the fragment pavement like sand on the beach.

Thanks, Tarb! I took inspiration from the English Dub version of Eren's internal speech towards Reiner during their fight from the Attack on Titan anime. I was planning to have curse words on the dialogue, but I forgot to put them in. It's kinda funny on how even when Gary's going apeshit that he still subconsciously refrains from copious amounts of expletives.
Anyway, the plan this time is to again use Ulti's size and momentum against him by letting him "win" the struggle and stumble forwards, then we push him to the ground as he's off balance and then procceed to kick the shit out of him.
Again, I'd like some feedback here. I don't want you two to feel like Yes-Men.
Gary: Hah! Look at our Snoke go! Never thought I'd feel such joy to witness the sight of of a predator ripping into his prey!... Damnit, look at me going crazy over here about Cas' death... I'm still gonna have to deal with the pain after this is over. Huh, it's funny you know? This is the second time I have lost someone precious to me, and it still isn't easy to handle. If only I had... Done better! Fought harder! Maybe she would've had a chance? Maybe... Argh! I shouldn't beat myself up over this, I can't always predict the outcome of a situation, and I did the best I could with what I had... Perhaps surviving through this ordeal will give me closure, prove that her sacrifice wasn't in vain?

Option Dos AKA B. (This plan is good)
Bill: I've seen worse... And felt worse, such as this gunshot wound. Though, I do hope your therapy goes great, Gary."

I agree with B. Snoke and Ulti may be about the same weight, but Ulti is probably a bit stronger. So we need to use Snoke's speed to our advantage rather than relying on just brute force.
"We did some damage, but we've gotta be clever. If we're not careful, Snoke's gonna get torn in half."

So the combination is B, C, and F, Tarb.

Gary's morbid pains took a minor upswing at seeing Snoke's success, the hybrid's roars of pain bringing him a small respite and hope this nightmare might end in a good manner after all. That Castiel be avenged.
"Hah! Look at our Snoke go! Never thought I'd feel such joy to witness the sight of of a predator ripping into his prey!... Damnit, look at me going crazy over here about Cas' death... I'm still gonna have to deal with the pain after this is over."
His smile wavered as he sunk back, not fully into grief but into remorse and to some measures self defeat, "Huh, it's funny you know? This is the second time I have lost someone precious to me, and it still isn't easy to handle. If only I had... Done better! Fought harder! Maybe she would've had a chance? Maybe..."
Bill shrugged, "Hey, we did best we could with what we had. Not like we were packing anti-tank equipment like we'd need to fight something like that monster. Shoulda called for G-Force."
Randy morbidly nodded, "We and she fought best we could. Sometimes we don't always win. Sometimes life hits you right in the balls."
Mind collected, Gary was still sneering with frustration but some understanding he didn't particularly like.
"Argh you're right!... I shouldn't beat myself up over this, I can't always predict the outcome of a situation, and I did the best I could with what I had... Perhaps surviving through this ordeal will give me closure, prove that her sacrifice wasn't in vain?"
Noticably quieter, Bill made good on just ensuring he didn't outwardly show the similar feelings going through her head. Someone had to keep strong. "I've seen worse... And felt worse, such as this gunshot wound," he muttered while flashing his mended but still agonizing injury, "Though, I do hope your therapy goes great, Gary."
Randy tilted his head to the side while patting the faithful Sucho's body, "She did us good already to make sure it's not. Snoke might just be the only predator on the island who can go toe to toe with that thing. We did some damage, but we've gotta be clever. If we're not careful, Snoke's gonna get torn in half."
As spoken for, the two juggernauts were now squared off for round two.
COMBINE ROLL!
Xu|HdFyBp_p_p_
7 + 9 + Reward Bonus 2 + Dialogue bonus 4 = 22!... Partial Success!
The Red Death might have been slightly stronger in a deadlock, but Snoke acted on instinct and surprising intellect. Like a trained grappler he kicked both feet off the ground and jumped back a half step before digging his claws into the pavement. The sudden widening of the deadlock cost the monstrous hybrid the contest. It lost grasp and stumbled forward, just as Snoke dived to the side and let it stammer past it. The hybrid flailed and snarled as it lost its balance and tried to regain his composure, as Snoke pivoted on one foot and rotated himself around. Recurved claws slammed down across the Ultimasaurus' back, failing to dig in significantly on account of the armor plating across the back, but managing to hold firm for just a moment. Snoke raised up his unbound foot, claws poised as he cocked back the extremely muscular limb. Cackling with a seething hatred, the Spinosaurus kicked out in the manner a secretary bird or mad gamecock would; using sheer mass and talons in the place of spurs. The super Theropod's claws weren't especially sharp on his feet, on account of them mostly being for gaining traction and gripping the ground when running; but magnitude and quantity of power made up for lack of quality in keenness. The impact force resounded with a 'booom' in the air and almost as loud of crack from a busted rib Snoke had managed to fracture. The Ultimasaurus stumbled back yowling in pain (Enemy -20 HP).
Had it been a normal Tyrannosaurus, the force of impact on an unbalanced creature would've been more than enough for Snoke to bowl it over. But this was an unnatural beast with unnatural abilities. Pain didn't slow it down and it had sheer mass to equal the Spinosaurus whom was used to fighting with a weight advantage to balance out any difference in armament or speed. It had both, catching Snoke by surprise when it recovered from the kick that only made stumbled back a few steps. Drooling in snarled rage, the hybrid lurched back into and tackled the momentarily off-balance Spinosaurus. Like an oncoming train it refused to slow down, knocking its rival off his foot before could re-steady after the kick and shoving Snoke, side-first through several lamp posts before they crashed into the side of the communications building (Player -20 HP). Clearing the rubble, the Red Death snarled and chomped down on the first thing that came into view, the top of Snoke's tail; soon shaking its head back and forth as it gripped the structure and mauled it like a rabid dog (Player -20 HP). Snoke roared in agony and rage, trying to get free but his head was pinned down under the younger hybrid's foot and he was partially buried in the rubble with a 9 ton Ultimasaurus on top of him.
Ultimasaurus HP - 60 (+10 regen per turn) Snoke HP - 100

Options F, D, and C, Tarb.
Gary: Resilient Bastard! He really is like a damn pest! Well I did say that pests should be exterminated, might as well make good on that proclamation. Come on, guys! This is still a six on one battle, or four if we discount the two Dromeosaurids given that they have yet to show their faces again after being pitched through that window... Anyway, we need to distract the Ultimasaurus, give Snoke some breathing room! But the only thing we have on hand are flares. Hmm we have flares and the Ultimasaurus is part Tyrannosaur... Oh my God! I just figured out what we're gonna do guys! We'll sing again! It worked with ole Scarface and it might have a chance here. I just need you guys to be my Aria & Sonata. The f**ker will be so confused by our actions that he'll have to investigate into what the hell we're doing.
EDIT: As for what song will be sung? Just go ahead and pick a personal favorite, Tarb.
