The cave here was huge, their dig not as glamorous as the fancy TV paleo brats made it out to be, but no less amazing.

Drake couldn’t quit chuckling to himself as  another cart trundled past with a large fossil femur. Huge sections of bones so perfectly preserved and in such vast quantities the word around camp was this was about to become the next Drumheller.

A few miles from Make Peace, the dig went deep into the bedrock, with so many differing species he had wondered if this was just some plant, till the carbon dating came back positive.

They had already pulled out nine near perfect complete fossils, and he was looking at the layers here now, at not one, but two complete Carnotaurus.

He was so excited~

That was, till the ceiling began to shake.

Two of the porters came running from the tunnel from above.

“What’s going on,” Drake shouted as the ceiling suddenly exploded sending a shower of rocks crashing down

Two people crashing from the surface.

“Its a Verse boss!”

Any further shouts cut off as a blast of energy swept the room where Javier had been and he was gone, his torso ending below his chest, and what was left of his body collapsing to the ground to burn.

“RUN!” Drake screamed.

Everyone ran past for the tunnel to escape, no one wanted to be near a real fight between two supers. Not when sponsorship was clearly on the line.

Drake ducked down behind the wall as another blast scorched across the ceiling taking out the powerlines to the generator above sending them into darkness.

Blasts of energy met flashes of bright red as the two so-called heroes clashed.

He knew the one, Red Devil.

But her opponent was a man in a metal suit he didn’t recognize, though he was going toe to toe with one of the strongest supes in the industry.

The entrance collapsed, trapping Drake and three more of his crew with him, he couldn’t see even a foot in front of him, all he could see was the flash of their clash.

Well~

There was a glow too.

He saw it, a faint glow he hadn’t noticed before in the lamp light, the bones were glowing.

The pair of supes roared and raged.

Drake stood, the glow was like a flame to a moth, calling him.

He slowly crossed the battleground, stopping only for a second as the two rolled past him in the dirt.

The wall gave him a shock as he touched it, the raging earth sharing its feelings, energy traveling through him.

Pain hit him as a blast of the metal man’s heatray caught him in the side.

“Fool!” Red Devil was beside him suddenly, still grappling with her opponent, voice filled with concern, “Get out of here!”

But Drake barely heard her words, the call of rage was filling him, fit to bursting he spun about, energy he’d never felt jumping from the bones to him.

“N-no, you both need to LEAVE!”

The bones tore free from the rock wall, the two carnotaurus smashing into both Red Devil and the metal man.

The two supes resisted, but they were no match for the limitless strength Drake felt.

He, had brought dinosaurs to the fist fight.
